17. (a) Kodi Yesu ananeneratu za chiyani mufanizo lake la tirigu ndi namsongole? (b) Kodi chinachitika n’chiyani mu 1918, ndipo ndani anakanidwa, nanga ndani amene anaikidwa pa udindo?

Komabe, pa zaka zonse zimene mpatuko wakhalapo, pakhala pakupezeka Akhristu osiyanasiyana oona ndiponso odzozedwa, ndipo Akhristu amenewa ali ngati tirigu. (Mateyu 13:24-29, 36-43) Choncho, pamene tsiku la Ambuye linayamba mu October 1914, Akhristu oona analipobe padziko lapansi.

Nthawi Yoyesedwa Ndiponso Yoweruzidwa

Yesu anabatizidwa mumtsinje wa Yorodano ndi kudzozedwa cha mu October, m’chaka cha 29 C.E., kuti adzakhale Mfumu. Patapita zaka zitatu ndi hafu, mu 33 C.E., anabwera kukachisi wa ku Yerusalemu, ndipo anathamangitsa anthu amene anasandutsa kachisiyo phanga la achifwamba. Zimenezi zikuoneka kuti zikugwirizana ndi zaka zitatu ndi hafu zimene Yesu anakhala kumwamba ataikidwa pampando monga mfumu mu October 1914, mpaka nthawi imene anabwera kudzayendera anthu onse amene ankati ndi Akhristu. Pa nthawiyi m’pamene anayamba kupereka chiweruzo panyumba ya Mulungu. (Mateyu 21:12, 13; 1 Petulo 4:17) Kumayambiriro kwa chaka cha 1918, anthu anayamba kutsutsa kwambiri ntchito ya anthu a Yehova yokhudzana ndi Ufumu. Imeneyi inali nthawi yoyesedwa padziko lonse lapansi ndipo anthu amantha anapetedwa ndi kuponyedwa kunja. Mu May 1918, atsogoleri a Matchalitchi Achikhristu anachititsa kuti akuluakulu a bungwe la Watch Tower Society amangidwe, koma patatha miyezi 9, anamasulidwa. Kenako milandu yonse imene ankawanamizira inathetsedwa. Kuyambira mu 1919 gulu la anthu a Mulungu, lomwe linali litayesedwa ndi kuyengedwa, linapita patsogolo mwachangu polengeza kuti Ufumu wa Yehova, umene wolamulira wake ndi Khristu Yesu, ndi umene udzathetse mavuto onse a anthu.—Malaki 3:1-3.

Pamene Yesu anayamba kuyendera mpingo mu 1918, atsogoleri a Matchalitchi Achikhristu mosakayikira zinthu sizinawayendere bwino. Kuwonjezera pa kuzunza anthu a Mulungu, iwo anali ndi mlandu waukulu wamagazi chifukwa chothandiza mayiko amene ankamenyana pa nkhondo yoyamba ya padziko lonse. (Chivumbulutso 18:21, 24) Atsogoleri azipembedzo amenewo anayamba kudalira bungwe la anthu la League of Nations kuti ndi limene lingathetse mavuto a anthu. Pofika m’chaka cha 1919, Mulungu anali atakaniratu zipembedzo zonyenga zonse pamodzi, kuphatikizapo Matchalitchi Achikhristu.
