Ophunzira Baibulo anazindikira kuti Yesu analimbikitsa kwambiri ntchito yolalikira ndipo anaiyerekezera ndi nthawi yokolola. (Mat. 9:37; Yoh. 4:35) Monga tinaonera m’Mutu 2, kwa nthawi yaitali Ophunzira Baibulowa ankakhulupirira kuti ntchito yokololayi idzatenga zaka 40 ndipo idzatha odzozedwa akadzapita kumwamba. Koma chifukwa chakuti zaka 40 zitatha ntchitoyi inapitirirabe, anafunika kusintha zimene ankakhulupirira. Panopa tikudziwa kuti nthawi yokolola inayamba mu 1914.

14 Anthu okhulupirika akhala akufuna kumvetsa kuti “khamu lalikulu” lotchulidwa pa Chivumbulutso 7:9-14 likuimira ndani. Panopo timadziwa komanso kumvetsa bwino za khamu lalikulu. Koma poyamba, Ophunzira Baibulo anali ndi maganizo osiyana ndi zimene tikudziwa panopo. Iwo anali ndi maganizo amenewo chifukwa siinali nthawi yoti Khristu aulule kuti khamu lalikulu likuimira ndani.
15 Mu 1917, buku la mutu wakuti, “The Finished Mystery” linanena kuti pali “magulu awiri a anthu odzapita kumwamba komanso pali magulu awiri a anthu omwe adzakhale padziko lapansi.” Kodi magulu 4 amenewa anapangidwa ndi anthu ati? Ponena za magulu awiri opita kumwamba, gulu loyamba linali la anthu okwana 144,000 amene akalamulire ndi Khristu. Gulu lachiwiri linali khamu lalikulu. Nthawi imeneyo ankakhulupirira kuti khamu lalikulu ndi Akhristu amene anali adakali m’matchalitchi amene amati ndi achikhristu.

16. Kodi Ophunzira Baibulo anayamba kumvetsa mfundo za choonadi ziti m’chaka cha 1923 ndi 1932?
16 Koma kodi mzimu woyera unathandiza bwanji otsatira a Khristu kuyamba kumvetsa molondola mfundo za choonadi pa nkhani imeneyi? Kuwala kwauzimu kunayamba pang’onopang’ono. Kuyambira m’chaka cha 1923, Nsanja ya Olonda inafotokoza za gulu la anthu amene anali ndi chiyembekezo chodzakhala padziko lapansi n’kumalamuliridwa ndi Khristu. M’chaka cha 1932, Nsanja ya Olonda inafotokoza za Yonadabu (Yehonadabu), amene anagwirizana ndi Mfumu Yehu yachiisiraeli pomenya nkhondo yothetsa kulambira konyenga.

Pa msonkhano wachigawo womwe unachitikira ku Washington, D.C., zinadziwika kuti khamu lalikulu ndi gulu la anthu amene adzakhale padziko lapansi. Amenewa ndi anthu angati nkhosa omwe Yesu anawafotokoza m’fanizo lake la nkhosa ndi mbuzi. (Mat. 25:33-40) Khamu lalikululi ndi gulu la “nkhosa zina” zomwe Yesu ananena kuti: “Zimenezonso ndiyenera kuzibweretsa.” (Yoh. 10:16) Pa msonkhanowo, M’bale J. F. Rutherford ananena kuti: “Onse amene ali ndi chiyembekezo chodzakhala ndi moyo kosatha padziko lapansi aimirire.” Zitatero, pafupifupi hafu ya anthu amene anasonkhana anaimirira. Kenako ananenanso kuti: “Taonani khamu lalikulu.” Anthu ambiri anasangalala kuti anamvetsa bwino zoti ali ndi chiyembekezo chodzakhala padziko lapansi.
18. Kodi n’chiyani chathandiza otsatira a Khristu kugwira ntchito yolalikira mwakhama ndipo pakhala zotsatirapo zotani?
18 Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, Khristu wakhala akuthandiza anthu ake pa ntchito yosonkhanitsa anthu amene akupanga khamu lalikulu. Anthu amenewa ndi amene adzapulumuke pa chisautso chachikulu. Poyamba ntchito yosonkhanitsayi inkaoneka ngati siiyenda bwino. Moti nthawi ina M’bale Rutherford ananena kuti: “Zikuoneka kuti ‘khamu lalikulu’ silikhala lalikulu ngati mmene timaganizira.” Koma panopo tikudziwa mmene Yehova wadalitsira ntchito yokololayi.

19. Kodi tingatani kuti tithandize nawo kuwonjezera khamu lalikulu?
19 Gulu lalikulu la anthu okhulupirika lidzakhala ndi moyo wosatha m’paradaiso padziko lapansi ndipo azidzalamuliridwa ndi Khristu pamodzi ndi a 144,000. Kunena zoona, n’zolimbikitsa kwambiri kuganizira mmene Khristu wakhala akuthandizira anthu a Mulungu kumvetsa bwino chiyembekezo chimenechi. Ndipotu ndi mwayi waukulu kugwira nawo ntchito youza anthu ena za chiyembekezo chimenechi. Choncho, tiyeni tiziyesetsa kulalikira mmene tingathere kuti khamu lalikulu lipitirize kukula.

Pofotokoza mfundo imeneyi, Nsanja ya Olonda imene inatuluka m’chaka cha 1922, inafotokoza kuti pali magulu awiri amene munthu angasankhe. Pali gulu la Yehova komanso gulu la Satana ndipo gulu la Satana lapangidwa ndi anthu amalonda, achipembedzo komanso andale. Anthu amene ali okhulupirika ku Ufumu wa Mulungu wolamuliridwa ndi Khristu, sayenera kuchita chilichonse chogwirizana ndi anthu omwe ali kumbali ya Satana chifukwa zingasokoneze kukhulupirika kwawo ku gulu la Yehova. (2 Akor. 6:17) Kodi zimenezi zikutanthauza chiyani?
21. (a) Kodi kapolo wokhulupirika wakhala akuchita chiyani pofuna kuchenjeza anthu pa nkhani ya malonda? (b) Kodi Nsanja ya Olonda yomwe inatuluka mu 1963 inafotokoza chiyani za “Babulo Wamkulu”?
21 Mabuku amene kapolo wokhulupirika amatipatsa akhala akuulula za chinyengo chimene anthu amalonda amachita ndipo akhala akuchenjeza anthu a Mulungu kuti asakopeke ndi moyo wokonda chuma. (Mat. 6:24) Mabukuwa akhala akuululanso za zipembedzo zomwe zili kumbali ya Satana. Mwachitsanzo m’chaka cha 1963, Nsanja ya Olonda inafotokoza momveka bwino kuti “Babulo Wamkulu” samangotanthauza matchalitchi amene amati ndi achikhristu okha, komanso amatanthauza zipembedzo zonse zonyenga. Choncho, monga mmene tidzaonere m’Mutu 10, anthu a Mulungu a mitundu yosiyanasiyana komanso ochokera m’mayiko onse athandizidwa ‘kutuluka’ m’Babulo Wamkulu komanso kusiya miyambo yake yonse.—Chiv. 18:2, 4.

22 Bwanji nanga pa nkhani ya zandale? Kodi Akhristu oona ankayenera kumenya nawo nkhondo kapena kulowerera nawo m’mikangano ya mayiko? Pa nthawi ya nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse, Ophunzira Baibulo ankaona kuti Akhristu sayenera kupha munthu. (Mat. 26:52) Komabe, Ophunzira Baibulo ambiri ankakhulupirira kuti potsatira malangizo omwe amapezeka pa Aroma 13:1, omwe amati tizimvera “olamulira akuluakulu,” akhoza kulowa usilikali, kuvala yunifomu ya asilikali ndiponso kugwira mfuti.

23, 24. Pa nthawi ya nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse, kodi otsatira a Khristu ankamva bwanji lemba la Aroma 13:1, ndipo anathandizidwa bwanji kuti ayambe kumvetsa lembali molondola?
23 Pamene nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse inkayamba m’chaka cha 1939, Nsanja ya Olonda inafotokoza momveka bwino kwambiri nkhani ya kusalowerera nawo ndale. Nkhaniyi inanena kuti Akhristu sayenera kulowerera nkhondo ndiponso mikangano imene imachitika m’dziko la Satanali. Malangizowa anafika pa nthawi yake chifukwa anateteza Akhristu kuti asakhale ndi mlandu wamagazi umene mayiko amene ankachita nkhondoyi anali nawo. Koma kuyambira m’chaka cha 1929, mabuku athu ankafotokoza kuti olamulira akuluakulu amene anatchulidwa pa Aroma 13:1 sakuimira olamulira dzikoli koma akuimira Yehova ndi Yesu.
