17. (a) Kodi kukhuthulidwa kwa mbale yachisanu kukukhudzana bwanji ndi mdima wauzimu umene wakhalapo mu ufumu wa chilombo chija kuyambira kalekale? (b) Kodi anthu anachita chiyani mbale yachisanu ya mkwiyo wa Mulungu itakhuthulidwa?

¹⁷ Ufumu wa chilombo chimenechi wakhala uli mumdima wauzimu kungoyambira pamene unakhazikitsidwa. (Yerekezerani ndi Mateyu 8:12; Aefeso 6:11, 12.) Mbale yachisanu inachititsa kuti uthenga wonena za mdima umenewu ulengezedwe mwakhama kwa anthu onse. Mbale ya mkwiyo wa Mulungu imeneyi inachitira bwino chithunzi mdimawu, chifukwa inachita kukhuthulidwa pampando wachifumu weniweniwo wa chilombo chophiphiritsa chija. Yohane anafotokoza kuti: “Pamenepo ufumu wake unachita mdima, ndipo anthu anayamba kudziluma malilime chifukwa cha ululu. Koma iwo ananyoza Mulungu wakumwamba chifukwa cha ululu wawo ndi zilonda zawo, ndipo sanalape ntchito zawo.”—Chivumbulutso 16:10b, 11.

19. Mogwirizana ndi lemba la Chivumbulutso 16:10, 11, kodi anthu anachita chiyani pamene uthenga woti Satana ndi mulungu wa nthawi ino unalengezedwa poyera?

¹⁹ Popeza Satana ndi wolamulira wa dzikoli, iye wachititsa kuti anthu ambiri akhale osasangalala ndiponso azivutika. Dziko la Satanali limatchuka ndi zinthu monga njala, nkhondo, chiwawa, uchigawenga, kugwiritsira ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo, chiwerewere, matenda opatsirana pogonana, kupanda chilungamo, chinyengo cha zipembedzo, ndi zina zotero. (Yerekezerani ndi Agalatiya 5:19-21.) Anthu amene amayendera mfundo za Satana anamva ululu ndiponso anachita manyazi pamene uthenga woti Satana ndi mulungu wa nthawi ino unalengezedwa poyera. Iwo “anayamba kudziluma malilime chifukwa cha ululu,” makamaka m’Matchalitchi Achikhristu. Anthu ambiri amakwiya chifukwa chakuti uthenga wa choonadi umachititsa kuti makhalidwe awo oipa aonekere poyera. Ena amachita mantha ndi uthengawu, ndipo amazunza anthu amene amaulengeza. Iwo amakana Ufumu wa Mulungu ndipo amanyoza dzina loyera la Yehova. Popeza iwo amaonekera poyera kuti ndi odwala mwauzimu ndiponso ali ndi zilonda, amayamba kunyoza Mulungu wakumwamba ndipo ‘salapa ntchito zawo.’ Choncho, sitingayembekezere kuti chikhamu cha anthu chisiya zochita zawo zoipa n’kubwera m’gulu la Yehova, mapeto a nthawi ino asanafike.—Yesaya 32:6.
