Kupfurikidza nengwavaira yacho, panofanira kuva nokumutsidzirwa mumwoyo yavanhu vaMwari norudo norugare zvaMwari “zvinopfuura kunzwisisa kwose.” Vapambi, vaparadzi, mhondi, vavengi—ivava havasati vachizopinda muUmambo hwaMwari, kana kuti avo vanofadzwa nahwo, asi vanopfidza vangawana nyasha mumeso aShe kana vakaita rupfidzo rwakakwana ndokugamuchira nokuzvininipisa mugove unotyisa wavanozviwana vamene vari mauri.

Shoko raMwari ragara riri Chiedza chinotungamirira vanhu vaMwari murima, ndokusaka bhuku raZvakazarurwa richifananidzira makereke manomwe sezvigadziko zvemwenje.

Zvisinei—sezvatinogona kuona murima renyika nhasi—haasi ose amachechi manomwe aZvakazarurwa akanga achiita kuti chiedza chawo chipenye sezvaida Jesu. Makereke maviri chete pamanomwe ndiwo akanyorwa tsamba dzisina tsiuro, uye makereke maviri aya—Smirna neFiradherfia—ndiwo machechi maviri bedzi anoita kuti chiedza chawo chipenye zvizere. Ndivo zvigadziko zvemwenje zviviri zvinopenya, zvapupu zviviri zvaMwari pakati penyika ine utsinye.

Uye ndichapa simba kuzvapupu zvangu zviviri, zvino zvichaporofita mazuva churu nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu zvakapfeka masaga.

Zvapupu zviviri zvinofananidzira zvinhu zvakawanda zvinoenderana, kubatanidza mauto maviri aMwari anobatanidzwa zvikurukuru mukucheka kwokupedzisira Jesu asati adzoka: vafiri kutendeka vokupedzisira navapukunyuki vane 144,000 11, avo vanowirirana naMosesi (akafa) naEria (uyo akakwira) pamwe chete neSmirna (akatendeka kusvikira kurufu) neFiradherfia (akachengetwa paawa yomuedzo). Zvakazarurwa XNUMX inoratidzira zvapupu zviviri izvi sezviri kukundwa nekuuraiwa:

Uye kana vapedza kupupura kwavo. chikara chinokwira chichibva mugomba risina chigadziko chicharwa navo; uye achavakunda nekuvauraya. (Zvakazarurwa 11: 7)

Kuti tione kuti makereke eSmirna neFiradelphia akakundwa nekuuraiwa sei muna Chivabvu 25, 2020, tinofanira kungotarisa mavara kumakereke aya nekunzwisisa kuti kereke yega yega inomiririra chimiro chemweya kana hunhu, hwakapera pazuva iroro. Kutanga neSmirna:

Nyorera mutumwa wekereke iri paSimina; Izvi ndizvo zvinotaura wekutanga newekupedzisira. wakange afa asi mupenyu; Ndinoziva mabasa ako nedambudziko neurombo (asi uri mupfumi), uye ndinoziva kunyomba kwavo. vanozviti vaJudha, ivo vasiri vaJudha; asi muri sinagogi raSatani. usatya izvo zvauchatambudzika nazvo; tarira, dhiabhorosi woda kuisa vamwe venyu mutirongo; kuti muidzwe; uye muchava nedambudziko mazuva gumi. uve wakatendeka kusvikira parufu, uye ndichakupa korona yeupenyu. Une nzeve ngaanzwe zvinoreva Mweya kukereke; Unokunda haangakuvadzwi nerufu rwechipiri. ( Zvakazarurwa 2:8-11 )

Jesu anoita iyi tsamba somunhu oga kwatiri nhasi kupfurikidza nokunongedzera kuidi rokuti Iye “akanga afa, uye mupenyu.” Rangarirai chirangaridzo chakakanganwa! Chivabvu 25 raive zuva rekurangarira kufa kweIye mupenyu, uye nekudaro Jesu anotaura nesu nhasi mumamiriro ezvinhu chaiwo erufu rwaGeorge Floyd. Uye Jesu anotii kuna George Floyd nevose vanopikisa kusaruramisira? "Ndinoziva." Anoti, “Ndinoziva zvauri kusangana nazvo.” "Ndinoziva izvo vanhu vatema uye vanhu vese vakadzvinyirirwa vanotambura." “Ndinoziva nezvekusarurwa nehurombo (Mwanakomana wemunhu akanga asina pokuisa musoro Wake!)

Usakundwa nemiedzo yokupindura nechisimba kune vanokuitira zvakaipa. Jesu anoziva kuti ndivanaani, uye acharatidza kutsiva kutsvene kupfuura zvaungafungidzira. Anoti, “Ndinoziva kunyomba kwaavo vanofanira kutsigira kururamisira asi vachihukanganisa. Ndinoziva kumhura kwevaya vanozviti vaKristu asi vachivenga hama dzavo dzechitema.” Jesu anoziva!

Anotaurawo pamusoro pokuurairwa kutenda kuchechi yePergamo, achipa zano kuchechi isina-kukwana nokuda kwokudavidza kwavo kukutambudzwa kwasatani kwavaitarisana nako, achiyeuchidza muenzaniso womufiri kutendeka akatendeka.

Ndinoziva mabasa ako, uye paunogara, ndipo pane chigaro chaSatani. uye wakabatisisa zita rangu, nekusaramba kutenda kwangu; kunyange namazuva iwayo Andipasi akanga ari chapupu changu chakatendeka; akaurayiwa pakati penyu. kunogara Satani. ( Zvakazarurwa 2:13 )

Uye rairo Yake kuSmirna inoti, “Gara wakatendeka.” “Usakundwa nemiedzo.” “Vachakusunga kana kukuuraya (sezvavakandiita Ini, uye sezvavakaita Martin Luther King Jr.^[1]) asi kana wakatendeka, ‘ndichakupa korona youpenyu [husingagumi].’”

Pane chimwe chinhu chinokosha zvikuru kupfuura kuona kururamisira kuchiitwa panguva ino: kupiwa kwengoni kumushori womunhu (ropa revafiri kutenda imbeu yevhangeri!) uye kuitwa kuti hunhu hwechiKristu hwomunhu huve hwakarurama mukutarisana nemiedzo, “sapamazuva umo Martin Luther King Jr. akanga ari mufiri kutendeka Wangu.”

Kuna [Martin Luther King Jr.]…muchinjikwa…ndiwo: “kuratidzwa kusingagumi kwekureba uko Mwari achaenda kuti adzorere nharaunda yakaputsika…” Rudo, naizvozvo, runova chiratidzo chokuramba kusina chisimba chinoda kuti murwiri, kwete kungoramba kupfura muvengi wake chete, asi urambewo kumuvenga. Nonviolent kuramba kunoreva kugumisa ruvengo nekuve iwo mufananidzo chaiwo we agape.^[2]

Tichifunga nezvetsamba yaJesu kukereke yeSmirna, munhu anogona kuona kuti George Floyd haana kunyatsosvika padanho iri, kunyangwe aive “munhu werunyararo” uye “hofori munyoro”. Kwakanga kusiri kutenda kwake kuti mapurisa akatanga kuita chinotyisa. Uye angadai asina kupinda mutorongo nokudisa, kunyange zvisina kururama, mukuvimbika kuMuchinda woRugare uyo akazvibvumira amene kutorwa nezviremera ndokutungamirirwa segwayana kunourawa pazuva rimwe chetero, anodokusvika zviuru zviviri zvamakore pamberi pezvi?

Zviito izvi hazvisi kutyora mutemo wemunhu chete asi mutemo waMwari, uye hapana anoruramiswa kuita zvinhu zvakadaro. Kristu anopa mumwe nemumwe wedu simba rekutsungirira nemoyo murefu kusaruramisira uye norugare kuratidzira kuchipikisa mukuteerera kumitemo yaMwari navanhu.

Imwe chechi isina chainopomerwa, yeFiradherfia, yakatodanwa kudaro nokuda kwo“rudo rwehama.” Izvi hazvireve kune rudo rwechingochani sezvaunowana muna Philly wemazuva ano, asi rudo rusingade kuona hama ichiparara uye inozvipira chero chinhu kuti inunure kubva murufu rusingaperi kana zvichibvira.

Musiyano wakadini kune avo vanongoitira hanya kubvunza kuti, “Am I waponeswa?” kana avo vasina hanya nezvinhu zvisingaperi zvachose! Asi hunhu hwePhiladelphia hwaizoonekwa papi muna Chivabvu 25 kana mumazuva aitevera?

Nokudaro, zvapupu zviviri zvakafa sokutaura kwakaita Bhaibheri:

Nekupera kweuchapupu hwezvapupu zviviri izvi zvasvika mugore ra2020, tinogona kutowana humbowo hwahwo muchiporofita chemazuva churu nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu. Iyi nguva yechiporofita (mazuva 1260, kana makore 3½) yaizosvika 1260 makore yenguva chaiyo. Asi kuverengera kwechiporofita kusvika pakudonha kweUS kungave kwatanga here mugore raAD 760? Kashoma, kana kondinendi isina kana kuwanikwa nenyika yakabudirira kusvika mazana emakore gare gare! Kutiza kwemukadzi waZvakazarurwa 12 kunotipa gwara rekunzwisisa nguva iyi:

Ndima iyi inotsanangura kutama kwevaKristu vakatendeka vakatiza masimba aitambudza muEurope (muchechi nokubuda). Kana mukadzi akachena (akatendeka pakati pemakereke—Smirna neFiradherfia) “akadyiswa” kwenguva, nguva, nehafu yenguva (mazuva/makore 1260), ipapo kufa kwezvapupu zviviri muchitsauko chapfuura kwaizongoenderana nokuguma kwenguva iyoyo yezvokudya. Zvino mapapiro makuru echapungu angadai akamuendesa kupi pakati penyika, dai kusiri kuAmerica, uko nyika inotungamira ine chapungu sechiratidzo chayo?

Asi tinofanira kuverenga rugwaro nokungwarira: anopiwa "mapapiro maviri." Izvi zvingaita sezvisingakoshi kutaura, sezvo mapapiro maviri angafungidzirwa, asi Bhaibheri haritambisi mashoko saka mapapiro maviri iwayo anofanira kunge ane zvaanoreva.

Zvino umwe neumwe wavo wakapiwa nguvo chena; vakaudzwa kuti vachazorora chinguva chiduku. kusvikira varanda pamwe navo nehama dzavo dzaifanira kuurawa saivo, vazadzisika. ( Zvakazarurwa 6:9-11 )

Rega zvakaipa. Uye apo chibayiro chinodiwa, ngachive chibairo chakakwana, chinopiwa nokuzvidira uye zvisiri zvechisimba, zvakakodzera mwana waKristu. Simuka uchipikisa mucherechedzo wechikara kuti chii chaizvo zvazviri. Kunyange iyo yekudzivirira yeCCIDID-19 ingave nzira yekushandisa zvirambidzo zvemararamiro zvinogona kuyedza munhu kukanganisa, haisiriyo chiratidzo chechikara! Pane zvikonzero zvakawanda zvakasimba nei zvichifanira kudzivirirwa, asi mumwe haafaniri siyai nyaya dzakakura zvikuru dzezvinonyangadza izvo Shoko raMwari rinoshevedzera zvakajeka. Kana MLK yaizotora bara pasina kutya mumweya weSmirna nekuda kwekutaura kuda kwaMwari murudo rwehama kuvanhu vese, sei uchifanira kutya manomano emuvengi? Chinangwa mumwoyo mako neshamwari nhatu dzaDanieri:

Kana zvikaitika hazvo, Mwari wedu watinoshumira angagona kutirwira pavira romoto unopfuta kwazvo; [jekiseni kana microchip kana chero imwe nzira yekudzora]Jehovha, iye achatirwira paruoko rwenyu, imi mambo. Asi kana zvikasaitika, zivai imwi mambo, kuti hatingashumiri vamwari venyu [humanism, pluralism], kana kunamata [kana kushivirira] chifananidzo chendarama chamakamisa [kureva kuroorana kwengochani nezvimwe zvinonyangadza]. ( Dhanieri 3:17-18 )

Mwari achatsiva zvaunoitirwa nevamwe. Zvine basa rei kana kufira kutenda kukauya nebara kana guillotine kana vaccine, kana nemurairo wekuuraya we microchip? Chokwadika, zvose izvozvi zvinofanira kudziviswa sezvinobvira pasina kubvumirana pane zvisina kufanira kutenda muna Mwari, asi kana kuzvisarudzira kwomunhu kuchiparadzwa uye iye akaitwa robhoti isingadaviriki, uye ipapo kumanikidzirwa kuita chimwe chinhu chaangadai asina kuita, hachisi chivi. Asi chivi kugashira zvinonyangadza izvo Mwari akaparadza nyika yekare. Yambiro vamwe nezvenjodzi kuupenyu hwavo husingaperi!

Uye musatya vanouraya muviri, asi vasingagoni kuuraya mweya; asi mutyei henyu [kureva kuremekedza Mwari] iro rinogona kuparadza zvose mweya nomuviri mugehena. (Mateo 10: 28)
