Amazima: Ruhanga naaraganisa ngu abantu abarungi abarikukira obwingi nibaija kutunga amagara agatahwaho omu nsi.—Zaaburi 37:11, 29, 34.
Yesu akagira ati: “Tihariho oratembire omu iguru.” (Yohaana 3:13) N’ahabw’ekyo akooreka ngu abantu abarungi boona abaafiire atakaizire omu nsi, nka Abrahamu, Musa, Yobu, na Daudi, tibaragiire omu iguru. (Ebyakozirwe 2:29, 34) Kureka, nibaija kuzoorwa batungye amagara agatahwaho omu nsi.—Yobu 14:13-15.
Okuzooka kw’okuza omu iguru nikwetwa ’okuzooka okw’okubanza.’ (Okushuuruurwa 20:6) Eki nikyoreka ngu hariyo okundi kuzooka. Oku nikwija kuba omu nsi.
Baibuli neeyegyesa ngu ahansi y’obutegyeki bw’Obukama bwa Ruhanga, ’tiharikwija kugaruka kubaho okufa obundi.’ (Okushuuruurwa 21:3, 4) Okuraganisa oku nikukwawta aha nsi, obu omu iguru yatariyo kufa.

Okuhabisibwa: Amatsiko g’okutunga amagara agatahwaho omu nsi ti g’omuhendo, nigaheebwa abo abatahikire kuza omu iguru.
Amazima: Abaraatungye amagara agatahwaho omu nsi, Ruhanga naabeeta ’abantu be’ ’abatoorainwe be,’ kandi “abahairwe omugisha” Yehova. (Isaaya 65:21-23) Nibaija kutunga omugisha gw’okuhikiiriza ekigyendererwa kya Ruhanga eky’okubanza eki yaabaire ainiire abantu, eky’okugira amagara agahikiriire omu paradiso omu nsi.—Okutandika 1:28; Zaaburi 115:16; Isaaya 45:18.
Okuhabisibwa: Abantu 144,000 abarikugambwaho omu Okushuuruurwa n’ab’akamanyiso, ti bantu abaabuzima.
Amazima: N’obu ekitabo ky’Okushuuruurwa kiraabe kirimu emibaro y’obumanyiso, emwe aha mibaro ei kirikukoresa n’eyaabuzima. Nk’eky’okureeberaho, nikigamba aha ’maziina g’entumwa ikumi na ibiri ez’Omwana gw’entaamab.’ (Okushuuruurwa 21:14) Yetegyereze obuhame oburikworeka ngu omubaro gw’abantu 144,000 nagwo n’ogwabuzima.
Okushuuruurwa 7:4 nihagira ngu “omubaro gw’abaatairweho akamanyiso, ogwabaire [nari, abahamiibwe kutunga amagara omu iguru],” n’abantu 144,000. Ebyetooroire omushororongo ogu, nibigamba aha bantu ab’omuringo ogundi birikubeeta “omutwe muhango gw’abantu ogu omuntu atarikubaasa kubara.” Abarikwetwa omuntwe muhango gw’abantu nabo nibaija kutunga okujunwa kwa Ruhanga.

Kandi, abantu 144,000 nibagambwaho ngu “bakacungurwa omu bantu okuba omuganuro.” (Okushuuruurwa 14:4) Ekigambo “omuganuro” nari ab’okubanza nikimanyisa abantu bakye abatoorainwe. Nikishoboorora ahari abo abaraze omu iguru kutegyeka na Kristo barikutegyeka abantu omu nsi abatarikumanywa omubaro gwabo.—Okushuuruurwa 5:10.
