Ifipusho Ukufuma ku Babelenga

Twaliipakishe ukusambilila amasesemo ya kwa Daniele nga fintu yabombelwepo mu “Ulupungu lwa kwa Kalinda.” Mulandu nshi, nangula ni fyo, uo inshiku sha nshita shitatu na hafu wa nshita isha mu Ukusokolola 11:3 shapusanina kuli shilya ishaba mu citabo ca “Akalume ka Ukusokolola”?

Ee, Ulupungu lwa kwa Kalinda ulwa November 1, 1993, lwalitambike ukuteuluka kunono ukukuma ku kupeela ubushiku bwa kufikilishiwa kwa muno nshiku ukwa Ukusokolola 11:3. Mulandu nshi?

Lekeni tutale tuloleshe pa Ukusokolola 11:2, pa mpela apalumbula “imyeshi amakumi yane na ibili.” Twatwalilila mu Re 11 cikomo 3 ukuti: “Kabili nkapeele nte shandi shibili ukusesema inshiku ikana limo ne myanda ibili na makumi mutanda nabafwale nsamu.” Ni lilali lintu ico cibomba?

Cisuma, Inte sha kwa Yehova balishiba kale ukuti ubu busesemo busanga ukufikilishiwa kwa buko mu kuba na Bena Kristu basubwa no mupashi pa numa ya mpela ya “nshita ya bena fyalo” mu 1914. (Luka 21:24; 2 Abena Korinti 1:21, 22) Ukulanda pali ici, Ukusokolola—Akalume ka Kuko Kakalamba Nakapalama!a (1988) pe bula 164 cisoso kuti: “Kwali iciputulwa ca nshita capimwa ca myaka itatu na citika ilyo ifya kukumanya fyakosa ifya bantu ba kwa Lesa fyalingene ne fya kucitika ifyasesemwe pano—ukutampa pa kubuuka kwa nkondo ya calo iya ntanshi mu lubali lwa kushalikishako lwa 1914 no kutwalilila ku lubali lwa mu kubangilila lwa 1918.”

Mona ukuti inshiku shapeelwa shali “kubuuka kwa nkondo ya calo iya ntanshi mu lubali lwa kushalikishako lwa 1914 [ukufikila] ku lubali lwa mu kubangilila lwa 1918.” Ici cilingana ne nshiku ishipeelwa ilingi line, pamo nga muli “Then Is Finished the Mystery of God,” amabula 261-4, (1969).b

Nangu cibe fyo, Ulupungu lwa kwa Kalinda lwatontomeshe pa masesemo ya kwa Daniele, ibuuku ilyo imiku ibili lilumbula iciputulwa ca nshita icalingana na cilya icalumbulwa pa numa mu Ukusokolola—imyaka 3 1/2, nelyo imyeshi 42. Mu kulungatika, Daniele 7:25 atila abashila ba kwa Lesa bali no kululunkanishiwa “pa mwaka umo ne myaka ibili na hafu wa mwaka,” nelyo inshita 3 1/2. Pa numa, Daniele 12:7 asobela “umwaka umo ne myaka ibili na hafu wa mwaka,” nelyo inshita 3 1/2, iyo yali no kufishiwa pa kalume ku ‘kupwisho kusansaula amaka ya bantu ba mushilo.’

E co twalikwata amasesemo ayabomba ne ciputulwa ca nshita icapalana pali Daniele 7:25, Daniele 12:7, na Ukusokolola 11:2, 3, pamo pene na pa Ukusokolola 13:5. Impapulo shesu shalilangisha ukuti aya yonse yasangile ukufikilishiwa mu ciputulwa ca nshita ica 1914-18. Lelo mu kubomba na bumo bumo ubwa aya masesemo pale pale, inshiku sha kutendeka ne sha ku mpela shalipuseneko panono.

Nangu cibe fyo, Ulupungu lwa kwa Kalinda ulwa November 1, 1993, lwaipwishe ukuti: “Ni shani fintu aya yonse amasesemo yalingana yafikilishiwe?” Ee, amasesemo ya nshita 3 1/2 ishalumbulwa pali Daniele 7:25, Daniele 12:7, na Ukusokolola 11:3 yaishibikwe nga “amasesemo yalingana.” E co, yali no kulingana ukukuma ku kutendeka kwa yako ne mpela.

Ukulosha ku mpela, magazini alangishe ifyo ukululunkanya kwa basubwa ba kwa Lesa (Daniele 7:25) kwafikile pa kalume mu June 1918 lintu J. F. Rutherford na badairekita bambi aba Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society “bapingwililwe pa milandu ya bufi ukukakwa mu cifungo pa ciputulwa calepa.” Cilya ca kucitika mu kushininkisha cali “[kupwisho] kusansaula amaka ya bantu ba mushilo,” nga fintu camonwa pali Daniele 12:7.

Ukupenda cimfwemfwe ukufuma mu June 1918 kututungulula ku December 1914 ku kutendeka kwa nshita 3 1/2. Muli ulya mweshi wa kwisalila uwa 1914, abasubwa ba kwa Lesa pe sonde basambilile umutwe we lembo lya mwaka waleisa ilya kuti: “‘Bushe muli na maka ya kunwako ku lukombo Lwandi?’—Mateo 20:20-23.” Icipande cabilishe wene casokele ukuti: “Ni ani eshibe napamo kukaba ica kwesha caibela, ulukombo lwa kucula nelyo umuseebanya, ku bakonshi ba bucishinka aba Mwana wa Mpaanga mu 1915!” Nga fintu Daniele 7:25 asobele ku lwa ciputulwa ca nshita 3 1/2, ukululunkanya ‘kwalimine no kupomponta abashila ba Wapulamo.’ Inko mu cimfundawila shalisendelwe mu Nkondo ya Calo iya I, ukucilenga icayanguka kuli bene ukucita ukululunkanya kushalungamikwa. Insondwelelo ili ya kuti: Amasesemo yonse yatatu ayalingana—Daniele 7:25, 12:7, no Ukusokolola 11:3—yasangile ukufikilishiwa kwa yako mu myaka 3 1/2, nelyo imyeshi 42, ukufuma mu December 1914 ukufika mu June 1918.

Ici calondolola ukulopolola kunono mu kwimike nshiku sha kufikilishiwa kwa Ukusokolola 11:3. Uku kuteulula cintu cimo ico twingasunga mu muntontonkanya ilyo tulesambilila no kubomfya icitabo ca Akalume ka Ukusokolola mu nshita ya ku ntanshi.
