LUKUNWA WA MULOOLO NE LUKINYAMA

4. Bañanyi balenga lukunwa wa mwanamukazhi, kabiji uno lukunwa ukoba ka?

⁴ Ba Adama ne Evwa byo basatukiletu mu Edena, Yehoba walayile’mba “mwanamukazhi” ukasema ‘lukunwa.’a (Tangai Ntendekelo 3:15.) Uno lukunwa ukafumpa mutwe wa muloolo, aye Satana. Mu kuya kwa moba, Yehoba wasolwele kuba’mba uno lukunwa ukeshila mwi Abalahama, ukekala wa mu kisaka kya bena Isalela, ukekala Muyudea, kabiji ukekala wa mu kikota kya Mfumu Davida. (Nte. 22:15-18; 49:10; Sala. 89:3, 4; Luka 1:30-33) Kilishitu Yesu ye lubaji lutanshi lwa uno lukunwa. (Nga. 3:16) Bashingwa ba mu kipwilo kya bena Kilishitu lo lubaji lwa bubiji lwa uno lukunwa. (Nga. 3:26-29) Yesu ne bano bashingwa bakwatankana ne kulenga Bufumu bwa Lesa, abo Lesa bo akengijisha pa kuchakakanya Satana.—Luka 12:32; Loma 16:20.

5, 6. (a) Bamfumu bakatampe banga batongola Danyela ne Yoano? (b) Nga mitwe ya lukinyama watongolwa mu Lumwekesho imenako ka?

⁵ Kabiji buno bungauzhi butanshi bwapainwe mu Edena, bwaambile ne kuba’mba Satana ukasema ‘lukunwa.’ Lukunwa wanji ukashikwa lukunwa wa mwanamukazhi. Bañanyi baikala lukunwa wa muloolo? Ke boba bonse balondela byubilo bya kwa Satana bya kushikwa ne kumanyika bantu ba Lesa. Mwapita bwikalo bwa bantu, Satana wanengezha lukunwa wanji mu bipamo bya bumulwila ntanda nangwa’mba makafulumende. (Luka 4:5, 6) Nangwa byonkabyo, makafulumende achechetu a bantu o akilamo kumanyika bantu ba Lesa, ko kuba’mba kisaka kya bena Isalela ba kala nangwa kipwilo kya bena Kilishitu bashingwa. Mambo ka kino kishinka o kyanemena? Mambo kyalumbulula ene mambo bimwesho byamwene Danyela ne Yoano o byalumbulwilatu bamfumu bakatampe batanu na basatu.

⁶ Byo kyafikilenga ku mpelo ya myaka kitota kitanshi C.E., Yesu wasangwilwe wamwesheshe mutumwa Yoano bimwesho bya kukumya byapusana pusana. (Lum. 1:1) Mu kimwesho kimo, Yoano wamwene Diabola wamwekelenga nobe nsuñunyi kasa aimana ku kitulu kya kalunga ka mema kakatampe. (Tangai Lumwekesho 13:1, 2.) Kabiji Yoano wamwene lukinyama wa kukumya saka atuntuka mu kalunga ka mema kabiji watambwile lūsa kufuma kwi Diabola. Palutwe kacheche, malaika wabujile Yoano kuba’mba mitwe itanu na ibiji ya lukinyama wachijisha, ko kuba’mba kipashañano kya lukinyama wa mu Lumwekesho 13:1, imenako “bamfumu batanu na babiji,” nangwa’mba makafulumende. (Lum. 13:14, 15; 17:3, 9, 10) Pa kimye kyanembelenga Yoano buku wa lumwekesho, bamfumu batanu saka bapona kala, umo wakijinga ponka saka abena kulama, kabiji mukwabo wajinga “ukyangye kufika.” Nga kiyukilo kya buno bufumu nangwa’mba bufumu bwa ntanda yonse kyo ki ka? Twayai twisambe pa mutwe umo umo wa lukinyama walumbululwa mu Lumwekesho. Kabiji tusakufunda byavula pa ano makafulumende anembwa mu buku wa Danyela. Ano makafulumende saka akyangye kwikalako, bungauzhi bwa kwa Danyela bwalumbulwijile jimo byo akekala.

⁹ Mutwe wa busatu wa lukinyama wamwene Yoano, wimenako bufumu bwajinga na muzhi mukatampe wa Babilona. Yehoba waswishishe bena Babilona kushinda muzhi wa Yelusalema ne kutwala bantu banji mu buzha. Bino saka akyangye kuswisha kino kubiwa, Yehoba wajimwine bena Isalela basatukile kuba’mba ano malwa akebamwekela. (2 Mfu. 20:16-18) Waambijile jimo kuba’mba ndonda ya bamfumu bo baambile amba bakekalanga pa “jitanda ja Yehoba” mu Yelusalema, bakeifumyapo. (1 Moba 29:23) Nangwa byonkabyo, Yehoba walayile ne kuba’mba wa mu kikota kya Mfumu Davida, yenka “mwine mwinabo” ukeya na kutambula bufumu.—Ezi. 21:25-27.

¹⁰ Bungauzhi bukwabo bwamwesheshe’mba Bayudea bakatwajijila kupopwela mu nzubo ya Lesa mu Yelusalema kimye Mesiasa walaiwe nangwa’mba Mushingwa kyo akafika. (Da. 9:24-27) Bungauzhi bwanembelwe bena Isalela saka bakyangye kwibatwala mu buzha mu Babilona, bwaambile’mba uno muntu ukasemenwa mu Betelema. (Mika 5:2) Pa kuba’mba buno bungauzhi bufike, Bayudea bafwainwe kupokololwa mu buzha ne kubwela kwabo na kushimukulula nzubo ya Lesa. Bino mukambizho wa bena Babilona kechi waswishanga kukasulula bazha ne. Pano luno lukatazho lwakonsheshe kupwa byepi? Yehoba wasolwele byo kyafwainwe kwikala kupichila mu bangauzhi banji.—Amo. 3:7.

11. Ñanyi bintu byaimenejilengako Bufumu bwa Babilona? (Monai tubyambo twa munshi.)

¹¹ Ngauzhi Danyela naye wajinga mu buzha mu Babilona. (Da. 1:1-6) Yehoba wamwingijishe kusolola bufumu bwapusana pusana bwalondejile pa buno bufumu bwa ntanda yonse bwa Babilona. Yehoba wasolwele bino byafyamika kwingijisha biyukilo byapusana pusana. Kyakumwenako, walengejile Mfumu wa bena Babilona, aye Nebukaneza kulota lukipashañano mukatampe walengelwe na byela byapusana pusana. (Tangai Danyela 2:1, 19, 31-38.) Kupichila mwi Danyela, Yehoba wasolwele kuba’mba mutwe wa ngolode wa lukipashañano waimenejilengako Bufumu bwa bena Babilona.b Bufumu bwa ntanda yonse bwalondejile pa bufumu bwa Babilona bwimenwako na kyaji ne maboko a siliva a lukipashañano. Buno bwajinga ñanyi bufumu, kabiji bwaubile byepi na bantu ba Lesa?

MUTWE WA BUNA WIMENAKO MEDIA NE PELISHA

12, 13. (a) Ñanyi bintu byasolwele Yehoba pa mambo a kushindwa kwa Babilona? (b) Mambo ka byalo bya Media ne Pelisha o byatongwelwa kuba’mba bimenwako na mutwe wa buna wa lukinyama?

¹² Kala kene Danyela saka akyangye kwikalako, Yehoba wasolwele bishinka pa bufumu bukashinda Babilona kupichila mwi ngauzhi Isaya. Kabiji Yehoba wasolwele ne jishinda jo bakashinjilamo muzhi wa Babilona ne muntu ukamushinda. Uno muntu watangijilenga nzhita wajinga Kilusa mwina Pelisha. (Isa. 44:28–45:2) Danyela wamwene bimwesho bibiji byaambile pa Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Media ne Pelisha. Mu kimwesho kimo, wamwene bufumu bwaimenejilwengako na mbeyala wazandukile lubaji lumo. Uno mbeyala bamukambizhe’mba “uvwote nyama yavula.” (Da. 7:5) Mu kimwesho kikwabo, Danyela wamwene mukooko mulume wajinga na nsengo ibiji waimenejilengako buno bufumu bwa Media ne Pelisha.—Da. 8:3, 20.

¹³ Yehoba waingijishe Bufumu bwa Media ne Pelisha kufikizha bungauzhi kupichila mu kushinda Babilona ne kubwezha bena Isalela mu ntanda yabo. (2 Moba 36:22, 23) Nangwa byonkabyo, palutwe kacheche buno bonka bufumu bwakebelenga kuvizha bantu ba Lesa. Mu buku wa Eshita, muji jishimikila jaamba pa mulanguluko watama wajinga na kinemanga wa Pelisha, aye Hamane. Uno kinemanga wakebelenga kuvizha Bayudea bonse baikalanga mu ntanda yonse ya Bufumu bwa Pelisha kabiji watongwele ne juba ja kwibavizhizhamo. Yehoba mwine ye wapokolwele bantu banji ku lukunwa wa kwa Satana. (Esh. 1:1-3; 3:8, 9; 8:3, 9-14) Onkao mambo, kyayilamo bingi kuba’mba mutwe wa buna wa lukinyama wa mu Lumwekesho wimenako Bufumu bwa bena Media ne Pelisha.

MUTWE WA BUTANU WIMENAKO GREECE

¹⁴ Mutwe wa butanu wa lukinyama wa mu Lumwekesho wimenako bufumu bwa Greece. Byonkatu Danyela byo asolwele kimye kyo alumbulwile kiloto kya kwa Nebukaneza, buno bonka bufumu bwimenwako ne na jivumo ne mambwata a lubemba a lukipashañano. Kabiji Danyela wamwene bimwesho bibiji byaambilenga pa buno bufumu byo bukekala ne mfumu wabo wayile nkuwa.

¹⁵ Mu kimwesho kimo, Danyela wamwene buno bufumu bwa Greece bwaimenejilwengako na lukinyama wamwekelenga nobe kisumpa wa byapi bina, kumwesha’mba buno bufumu bukapelawizha kushinda. (Da. 7:6) Mu kimwesho kikwabo, Danyela walumbulwile mbuzhi mulume wajinga na lusengo umo mukatampe byo aipayile mukooko wa nsengo ibiji, ko kuba’mba byalo bya Media ne Pelisha. Yehoba wabujile Danyela amba mbuzhi mulume waimenejilengako bufumu bwa Greece, kabiji lusengo mukatampe waimenejilengako umo pa bamfumu ba buno bufumu. Danyela watwajijile kwamba’mba lusengo mukatampe bakamuchimuna kabiji po ajinga pakamena nsengo icheche ina. Nangwa kya kuba buno bungauzhi bwanembelwe kala Bufumu bwa Greece saka bukyangye kutendeka kulama ntanda yonse, byonse byaambiwe pa buno bufumu byafikile. Mfumu wayile nkuwa wa kyalo kya Greece kya kala, aye Alekasanda walukukile bufumu bwa Media ne Pelisha. Nangwa byonkabyo, kechi papichile ne kimye kyabaya ne, uno lusengo ko kuba’mba mfumu wayile nkuwa bamuchimwine, ne kufwa wafwile saka ajitu na myaka 32 pa kimye bufumu bwanji kyo bwatendekelengatu kubaya. Kepo bufumu bwanji bwaabenwe pana ne kutendeka kulamwa na bakulumpe ba bashilikale banji bana.—Tangai Danyela 8:20-22.

(Mat. 24:45-47; Nga. 3:26-29) Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America bwalwishishe bano bazhijikwa. (Lum. 13:3, 7) Kimye kyajingako Nkondo Itanshi ya Ntanda Yonse, buno bufumu bwamanyikile bingi bantu ba Lesa, kukanya mabuku abo amo ne kutaya pa kaleya boba baimenejilengako jibumba ja kalume wa kishinka. Mutwe wa butanu na bubiji wa lukinyama pa kimye kimo walekeshe mwingilo wa kusapwila. Yehoba wamwenejile jimo bino bintu ne kwibisolola kwi Yoano. Kabiji Lesa wabujile Yoano kuba’mba lubaji lwa bubiji lwa lukunwa lukatendeka jikwabo kwingila mwingilo mukatampe wa kusapwila. (Lum. 11:3, 7-11) Byapitamo bakalume ba Yehoba ba ano moba bimwesha’mba bino bintu byaubiwe.

Kyakumwenako, wamwesheshe’mba uji na bulume bukatampe kimye kyo ashinjile Nkondo Itanshi ya Ntanda Yonse. Mutwe wa butanu na bubiji, ko kuba’mba bufumu buji nobe kyela kya kapotwe, nabo bwayukanyikilwe kimye kya Nkondo ya Bubiji ya Ntanda Yonse.c Ino nkondo byo yapwile, mutwe wa butanu na bubiji watwajijile kumwesha misango yanji ya bukyela kya kapotwe pa bimye bimo. Nangwa byonkabyo, kufumatu ku ntendekelo, kino kyela kya kapotwe kyavwangakene na buchimba.

⁹ Bakalume ba Yehoba batendekele kala kukebesha kuyuka mwatala maulu a lukipashañano. Kinembelo kya Danyela 2:41 kyalumbulula kuvwangakana kwa kyela kya kapotwe na buchimba kuba’mba ke “bufumu” bumotu, kechi bwavula ne. Onkao mambo, buchimba bwimenako bantu baji mu byalo bitangijilwa na Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America, balengela buno bufumu kukepa bulume kukila Bufumu bwa bena Loma bwakosele nobe kyela kya kapotwe. Buchimba bebutongola’mba bwimenako ‘baana ba bantu,’ nangwa’mba bantu bonse. (Da. 2:43) Mu bukalama bwa Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America, bantu balenga bipekenyi bya kukeba kwikala na lūsa lwa kuba bintu byo bakeba kupichila mu bipamo bitala pa lūsa lwa bantu, bipamo bitala pa ba mingilo, ne bipanyi bya bumulwila ntanda. Mu jino jishinda, bantu babena kulengela Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America kubula kwikala na bulume bwa bukyela kya kapotwe. Kabiji bipanyi bilengulula makafulumende ne masawakya a bya bunsaji o babula kwitabizha ku bantu bavula bilengela bantangi baji na bulume kukankalwa kukosesha mizhilo yabo. Danyela waambijile jimo amba: “Bufumu nabo bukekala aku bwakosa, aku bwanekena.”—Da. 2:42; 2 Timo. 3:1-3.

10, 11. (a) Ki ka kikamwekela “maulu”? (b) Twakonsha kwamba’mba ka pa mambo a kibelengelo kya mana a lukipashañano?

¹⁰ Mu ino myaka, kyalo kya Britain ne America byatwajijila kwikala balunda ne kwingijila pamo mu kutangijila bintu bibena kubiwa pano pa ntanda. Bungauzhi bonse bwaamba pa lukipashañano mukatampe ne lukinyama bumwesha’mba kafwako bufumu bukwabo bwa ntanda yonse bukapingakena pa Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America ne. Buno Bufumu bwapelako bwa ntanda yonse bukakepa bulume kukila bobwa bwaimenejilwengako na mikupa ya kyela kya kapotwe, pano bino kechi bukonaikatu abo bwine ne.

¹¹ Nanchi kibelengelo kya mana a lukipashañano kiji na mo kyatala nyi? Akilangulukai pa kino: Mu bimwesho bikwabo, Danyela watongwelemo bibelengelo bya bintu nabiji kibelengelo kya nsengo yamenene ku mitwe ya binyama byapusana pusana. Bino bibelengelo byanema bingi. Nangwa byonkabyo, pa kulumbulula mwatala lukipashañano, Danyela kechi watongolapo kibelengelo kya mana ne. Onkao mambo, kibelengelo kechi kyanema ne, mambo lukipashañano wajinga na mikoko, maboko, minwe, mikupa ne maulu. Danyela waambatu kuba’mba mana alengelwe na kyela kya kapotwe ne buchimba. Kwesakana na mo alumbulwijile, twakonsha kwamba’mba Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America bo bukalamanga ntanda yonse kimye “jibwe” jimenako Bufumu bwa Lesa kyo jikavingakanya maulu a lukipashañano.—Da. 2:45.

ANGLO-AMERICA NE LUKINYAMA WA NSENGO IBIJI

12, 13. Lukinyama wa nsengo ibiji wimenako ka, kabiji uba ka?

¹² Nangwa kya kuba Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America bwalengwa na kyela kya kapotwe ne buchimba, bimwesho Yesu byo amwesheshe Yoano bimwesha’mba buno bufumu bukengila mwingilo mukatampe mu moba a kupelako. Mu ñanyi jishinda? Yoano wamwene kimwesho kya lukinyama wa nsengo ibiji waambilenga nobe nsuñunyi. Nga uno lukinyama wakatazha wimenako ka? Uno lukinyama byo aji na nsengo ibiji, kibena kulumbulula’mba buno bufumu buji na bamfumu babiji. Kabiji Yoano wamwene Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America mu jishinda japusanako.—Tangai Lumwekesho 13:11-15.

¹³ Uno lukinyama watundaikile kulengwa kwa kipashañano kya lukinyama. Yoano wanembele’mba kipashañano kya lukinyama kikamweka, kabiji kikazhimañana ne kumweka jikwabo. Kino byo byo kyaubiwe. Kyalo kya Britain ne America kyalengele kabungwe kuba’mba kakwatankanye ne kwimenako byalo byonse bya pano pa ntanda.d Kano kabungwe kamwekele kimye kyapwile Nkondo Itanshi ya Ntanda Yonse kabiji katelwanga amba League of Nations. Pano bino kazhimañene kimye kyatendekele Nkondo ya Bubiji ya Ntanda Yonse. Kimye kyajingako ino nkondo, bantu ba Lesa baambile’mba kwesakana na bungauzhi bwa mu Lumwekesho, kipashañano kya lukinyama kikamweka jikwabo. Kabiji ne kya kine kyamwekele jikwabo ne kutelwa’mba United Nations.—Lum. 17:8.

14. Mu ñanyi jishinda kipashañano kya lukinyama mo kyaikela “mfumu wa butanu na busatu”?

¹⁴ Yoano walumbulwile kipashañano kya lukinyama amba “mfumu wa butanu na busatu.” Mu ñanyi jishinda? Mambo kechi bamulumbulula’mba mutwe wa butanu na busatu wa lukinyama ne. Ke kipashañanotu kya uno lukinyama. Bulume bonse bo kiji nabo bufuma ku byalo byonse byo kitangijila, kikatakata ku byalo bine bikitundaika, ko kuba’mba Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America. (Lum. 17:10, 11) Pano bino, kitambula bulume bwa kwikala nobe mfumu kuba’mba kingile mwingilo ukalengela bintu bikapimpula bwikalo bwa bantu kubiwa pano pa ntanda.

KIPASHAÑANO KYA LUKINYAMA KYATABAULA MWANAMUKAZHI PITE

15, 16. Mwanamukazhi pite wimenako ka, kabiji ki ka kyaubiwa ku bantu bamutundaika?

¹⁵ Kwesakana na byo aambile, Yoano wamwene mwanamukazhi pite wa kifwanyikizho saka aikala pa lukinyama wachijisha, ko kuba’mba kipashañano kya lukinyama. Kabiji ye wikitangijila. Uno mwanamukazhi pite utelwa’mba “Babilona Mukatampe.” (Lum. 17:1-6) Uno pite wimenako bupopweshi bonse bwa bubela kikatakata machechi a Kilishitendomu. Buno bupopweshi bulombelako uno lukinyama ne kumutangijila.

¹⁶ Babilona Mukatampe walumbululwa’mba waikala pa “mema.” Ano mema emenako bantu bamutundaika. Pano bino, mu juba ja Nkambo, bantu kechi babena kumutundaika byonka byo baubanga kala ne. Kiji nobe mema ‘auma.’ (Lum. 16:12; 17:15) Kyakumwenako, kimye kitanshi kipashañano kya lukinyama po kyamwekele, machechi a Kilishitendomu, ajinga na bulume pa byalo byavula bya bazungu. Lelo jino, bantu bavula baleka kutundaika machechi ne kunemeka bantangi ba machechi. Bantu bavula bayuka’mba bupopweshi bo bubena kuleta makatazho. Bakwabo bambatu patoka’mba bupopweshi bonse bafwainwa kwibufumyapo.

17. Ñanyi kintu kikamwekela bupopweshi bwa bubela katataka, kabiji mambo ka?

¹⁷ Nangwa byonkabyo, bupopweshi bwa bubela kechi bukapwa bulume ne kuzhimañanatu ne. Mwanamukazhi pite ukatwajijila kwikala na bulume, kutangijila bamfumu kufikatu ne kimye Lesa kyo akabika kintu mu michima ya boba bamfumu. (Tangai Lumwekesho 17:16, 17.) Katatakatu Yehoba akalengele makafulumende a bumulwila ntanda a kwa Satana emenwako na kipamo kya United Nations kulukuka bupopweshi bwa bubela. Bakamonawina pamo na bunonshi bwanji kabiji kechi ukekalapo na bulume pa makafulumende ne. Mu myaka ya kunyumakwe, kino kyamwekelenga nobe kechi kyakonsha kubiwa ne. Pano lelo jino, nangwa kya kuba uno mwanamukazhi pite waikala pa lukinyama wachijisha, kechi ukabandapo ne, ukaponatu kya kubazhimukila kabiji bintu bikamutamina.—Lum. 18:7, 8, 15-19.

BINYAMA BYAFIKA KU MPELO YABYO

18. (a) Lukinyama kuba ka, kabiji ki ka kikafumamo? (b) Danyela 2:44 walumbulula’mba Bufumu bwa Lesa bukonauna ñanyi bufumu? (Monai kakitenguluzha kaji pa jipa 17.)

¹⁸ Bupopweshi bwa bubela byo bukonaunwa, lukinyama ko kuba’mba bukalama bwa kwa Satana bwa bumulwila ntanda bukatundaikwa kulukuka Bufumu bwa Lesa. Na mambo a kuba bamfumu ba pano pa ntanda bakakankalwa kufika mwiulu, bakatujila mpuumwa bantu baji pano pa ntanda batundaika Bufumu bwa Lesa. Kino kikavulumuna bukaji bwa Lesa. (Lum. 16:13-16; 17:12-14) Danyela walumbulula kikobiwa mu ino nkondo ikapelako. (Tangai Danyela 2:44.) Lukinyama watongolwa mu Lumwekesho 13:1, kipashañano kyanji ne lukinyama wa nsengo ibiji bikonaunwa.

19. Ñanyi luketekelo lo twakonsha kwikala nalo, kabiji kino kyo kimye kya kuba ka?

¹⁹ Tubena kwikala mu moba a mutwe wa butanu na bubiji. Kafwako mitwe ikwabo ikamweka ku uno lukinyama saka bakyangye kumonauna ne. Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America bo bukalamanga kimye bupopweshi bwa bubela kyo bakebonauna. Bungauzhi bwa kwa Danyela ne Yoano bwafika kwesakana na monka mo bwaawijilwe. Twafwainwa kuketekela’mba bupopweshi bwa bubela bukonaunwa kabiji amba katatakatu nkondo ya Amagedonyi ikafike. Lesa wasolwela jimo bino bintu. Nanchi tukatako muchima ku lujimuno lwa mu bungauzhi nyi? (2 Pe. 1:19) Kino kyo kimye kya kwikala ku lubaji lwa Yehoba ne kutundaika Bufumu bwanji.—Lum. 14:6, 7.

BAÑANYI BAJI MU “BUNO BUFUMU BONSE” BO BAAMBAPO?

Bungauzhi buji mu Danyela 2:44 bwaamba kuba’mba Bufumu bwa Lesa “bukalalaula buno bufumu bonse.” Buno bungauzhi bwaambatu pa bufumu bwimenwako na mbaji yapusana pusana ya lukipashañano.

Pano ibyepi pa mambo a makafulumende akwabo onse a bantu? Bungauzhi buji mu Lumwekesho bwasolola byavula pa bonka buno bufumu. Bwamwesha’mba “bamfumu ba pano pa ntanda ponse” bakebakonkanya pamo ku kulwa na Yehoba pa “juba jikatampe ja Lesa Wabulume Bonse.” (Lum. 16:14; 19:19-21) Onkao mambo, bufumu bwimenwako na lukipashañano ne makafulumende akwabo onse a bantu akonaunwa pa Amagedonyi.

Bamfumu Batanu Na Basatu Basololwa

Mabuku onse abiji a mu Baibolo, a Danyela ne Lumwekesho kechi atongolatu bamfumu batanu na basatu, nangwa’mba bukalama bwa bantu bonka ne, bino amwesha ne ndonda yamwekejilengamo bano bamfumu. Twakonsha kumvwisha mwatala buno bungauzhi inge twayuka bungauzhi butanshi bwanembwa mu Baibolo.

Mwapita bwikalo bwa bantu, Satana wanengezha lukunwa wanji mu bipanyi bya bumulwila ntanda nangwa’mba bufumu bwapusana pusana. (Luka 4:5, 6) Nangwa byonkabyo, bufumu buchechetu bo bwamanyikapo kala bantu ba Lesa, ko kuba’mba kisaka kya bena Isalela nangwa kipwilo kya bena Kilishitu bashingwa. Bimwesho byamwene Danyela ne Yoano, byalumbululatu bamfumu bonse pamo batanu na basatu kwapwa.

Mepuzho Afuma Ku Batanga

Ñanyi kimye Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America kyo bwaikele bufumu bwa ntanda yonse bwa butanu na bubiji bwa mu bungauzhi bwa mu Baibolo?

▪ Lukipashañano mukatampe wa kyela wamwene Mfumu Nebukaneza kechi wimenako bufumu bonse bwa ntanda yonse ne. (Da. 2:31-45) Wimenakotu bufumu butanu bwalaminenga kutendeka kimye kya kwa Danyela kuya kulutwe, bwamanyikilenga bantu ba Lesa.

Ndumbulwilo ya kwa Danyela ya lukipashañano wa kyela, yamwesheshenga’mba Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America bukafuma mu bufumu bwa bena Loma, kechi amba bukashinda bena Loma ne. Danyela wamwene uno lukipashañano uji na mikupa yalengelwe na kyela kya kapotwe kyafikile ku maulu ne ku mana. (Ku maulu ne ku mana, kyela kya kapotwe kyapatakana na buchimba.)a Ino ndumbulwilo imwesha kuba’mba Bufumu bwa Ntanda Yonse bwa Anglo-America bukafuma ku mikupa ya kyela kya kapotwe, ko kuba’mba bufumu bwa bena Loma. Mpito imwesha kuba’mba ino ndumbulwilo ya kine. Kyalo kya Britain, kyajinga lubaji lucheche lwa Bufumu bwa bena Loma, pano bino, ku mpelo ya myaka ya mu ma 1700, kyatendekele kwikala na bulume bukatampe. Mu kuya kwa kimye, kyalo kya America nakyo kyaikele na bulume bukatampe. Nangwa byonkabyo, pa kikye kimye, byalo bya Britain ne America kechi byakikele bufumu bwa ntanda yonse bwa butanu na bubiji bwa mu bungauzhi bwa mu Baibolo ne. Mambo ka? Mambo bino byalo kechi byakikwatankene ne kutendeka kwingijila pamo ne. Byaishile kukwatankana kimye kya Nkondo Itanshi ya Ntanda Yonse.

Pa kyokya kimye, “baana ba mu bufumu” babambakene na kusapwila kikatakata mu United States, na lutangijilo lwa Ofweshi wabo mukatampe wajinga mu Brooklyn, New York. (Mat. 13:36-43) Ba mu jibumba ja kalume bapayankene bingi na kusapwila mu byalo byo balaminenga ku Bufumu bwa Britain. Kimye kya Nkondo Itanshi ya Ntanda Yonse, byalo bya Britain ne America byakwatankene mu kulwisha balwanyi babo mu bya bumulwila ntanda. Na mambo a kuba nkondo yalengejile byalo bya Britain ne America kutendeka kwitota, bino byalo byatendekele kumanyika boba ba mu lukunwa wa “mwanamukazhi” wa Lesa, kukanya mabuku abo ne kutaya pa kazhima boba batangijilenga mwingilo wa kusapwila.—Lum. 12:17.

Kwesakana na bungauzhi bwa mu Baibolo, twafunda kuba’mba bufumu bwa ntanda yonse bwa butanu na bubiji, kechi bwatendekele ku mpelo ya myaka ya mu ma 1700 kimye kyalo kya Britain byo kyatendekele kwikala na bulume ne. Buno bufumu bwamwekele ku ntendekelo ya juba ja Nkambo.b
