12. Kodi “lupanga lalitali, lakuthwa konsekonse” likutanthauza chiyani?

Nditamuona, ndinagwa pamapazi ake ngati kuti ndafa.” (Chivumbulutso 1:16, 17a) Kutsogolo kwa ulosiwu Yesu anafotokoza tanthauzo la nyenyezi 7 zimene zinali m’dzanja lake. Ndipo m’kamwa mwake munkatuluka “lupanga lalitali, lakuthwa konsekonse.” Zimenezi n’zoyenerera, chifukwa Yehova anapatsa Yesu udindo wopereka chiweruzo chomaliza kwa adani a Yehovayo. Choncho m’kamwa mwakemo mudzatuluka mawu amphamvu olamula kuti oipa onse aphedwe.—Chivumbulutso 19:13, 15.

13. (a) Kodi nkhope yowala kwambiri ya Yesu ikutikumbutsa chiyani? (b) Kodi zimene Yohane anaona m’masomphenya zokhudza Yesu zikusonyeza chiyani?

¹³ Nkhope yowala kwambiri ya Yesu ikutikumbutsa za nkhope ya Mose, yomwenso inawala kwambiri atalankhula ndi Yehova m’phiri la Sinai. (Ekisodo 34:29, 30) Kumbukiraninso kuti Yesu atasandulika pamaso pa atumwi ake atatu pafupifupi zaka 2,000 zapitazo, “nkhope yake inawala ngati dzuwa. Malaya ake akunja anawala kwambiri.” (Mateyu 17:2) Koma masomphenyawa anasonyeza Yesu ali m’tsiku la Ambuye, ndipo nkhope yake inawalanso kwambiri, kusonyeza kuti akukhala pafupi ndi Yehova. (2 Akorinto 3:18) Ndipotu m’masomphenya onse a Yohane muli kuwala kwambiri kwa ulemerero. Choncho zimene taona m’masomphenya apamwamba kwambiri amenewa, monga tsitsi loyera kwambiri, maso ooneka ngati lawi la moto, nkhope yowala ndiponso miyendo yonyezimira, zikusonyeza kuti Yesu tsopano akukhala “m’kuwala kosafikirika.” (1 Timoteyo 6:16) Zimene Yohane anaona m’masomphenya amenewa zinkaoneka bwino kwambiri, ndipo zinkaoneka ngati zikuchitikadi pa nthawiyo. Kodi Yohane amene pa nthawiyi anali ndi mantha kwambiri, anachita chiyani? Mtumwiyu akuyankha kuti: “Nditamuona, ndinagwa pamapazi ake ngati kuti ndafa.”—Chivumbulutso 1:17.

 2. (a) Kodi Yesu anadzitchula dzina la udindo liti? (b) Kodi Yehova ankatanthauza chiyani pamene ananena kuti: “Ine ndine woyamba ndi womaliza”? (c) Kodi dzina la udindo la Yesu lakuti “Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza” likusonyeza chiyani?

² Komabe tiyenera kusonyeza mantha aulemu osati ngati kuopa chinthu chinachake choopsa. Mtumwi Yohane ananena mawu osonyeza kuti analimbikitsidwa ndi Yesu. Iye anati: “Ndipo anandigwira ndi dzanja lake lamanja ndi kundiuza kuti: ‘Usachite mantha. Ine ndine Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza, ndiponso wamoyo.’” (Chivumbulutso 1:17b, 18a) Palemba la Yesaya 44:6, Yehova anafotokoza moyenerera za udindo wake kuti iye ndi Mulungu wamphamvuyonse. Iye anati: “Ine ndine woyamba ndi womaliza, ndipo palibenso Mulungu kupatulapo ine.”a Pamene Yesu ananena kuti iye ndi “Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza,” sankatanthauza kuti iye ndi wofanana ndi Yehova, yemwe ndi Mlengi Wamkulu. Iye ankangogwiritsa ntchito dzina la udindo loyenerera limene Mulungu anamupatsa. Palemba la Yesaya, Yehova ankafotokoza za udindo wake wapadera monga Mulungu woona. Iye ndi Mulungu wamuyaya ndipo palibenso Mulungu wina wofanana naye. (1 Timoteyo 1:17) Palemba la Chivumbulutso, Yesu akunena za dzina la udindo limene Mulungu anamupatsa, chifukwa cha kuukitsidwa kwake kwapadera.

 3. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani tinganene kuti Yesu anali “Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza”? (b) Kodi mfundo yakuti Yesu ali ndi “makiyi a imfa ndi a Manda” ikutanthauza chiyani?

³ Yesu anali munthu “Woyamba” kuukitsidwa ndi moyo wauzimu umene sungafe. (Akolose 1:18) Komanso iye ndi “Wotsiriza” kuukitsidwa ndi Yehova mwachindunji mwanjira imeneyi. Motero, iye anakhala “wamoyo” ndipo adzakhala “ndi moyo kwamuyaya.” Panopa, iye akusangalala ndi moyo umene sungafe ngati mmene alili Atate ake, amene amatchedwa “Mulungu wamoyo.” (Chivumbulutso 7:2; Salimo 42:2) Koma kwa anthu ena onse, Yesu ndiye “kuuka ndi moyo.” (Yohane 11:25) Mogwirizana ndi mfundo imeneyi, Yesu anauza Yohane kuti: “Ndinali wakufa, koma taona, ndili ndi moyo kwamuyaya, ndipo ndili ndi makiyi a imfa ndi a Manda.” (Chivumbulutso 1:18b) Yehova wapatsa Yesu udindo woukitsa anthu akufa. N’chifukwa chake Yesu ananena kuti ali ndi makiyi otsegulira zipata za Manda.—Yerekezerani ndi Mateyu 16:18.
