17. (a) Ni ikibazo ikihe umwe muri ba bakurambere 24 abaza, kandi kuba azi inyishu yaco vyerekana iki? (b) Ikibazo c’uwo mukurambere cishuwe ryari?

¹⁷ Kuva mu gihe c’intumwa Yohani gushika mu kiringo c’umusi w’Umukama, abakirisu barobanuwe bagumye bazazaniwe n’akaranga ka rya sinzi rinini. Birabereye rero kubona umwe muri ba bakurambere 24, uwuserukira abarobanuwe bamaze gushika mw’ijuru, ari we abaza Yohani ikibazo gikabura ubwenge. Yohani avuga ati: “Maze umwe muri ba bakurambere aca ambwira ati: ‘Aba bambaye amakanzu yera, ni bande kandi bavuye hehe?’ Buno nyene nca ndamubwira nti: ‘Mukama wanje, ni wewe ubizi.’” (Ivyahishuwe 7:13, 14a) Ego cane, uwo mukurambere arazi inyishu y’ico kibazo kandi arayimenyesha Yohani. Ivyo birerekana ko abamaze kuzurwa bo muri wa mugwi w’abakurambere 24 bashobora kuba bagira uruhara mu kumenyesha ukuri kuva ku Mana muri iki gihe. Abagize umugwi wa Yohani bari kw’isi bobo bamenye akaranga k’iryo sinzi rinini mu kwihweza bitonze ivyo Yehova yariko ararangura muri bo. Ntibatevye kwibonera umuco ukayangana w’ukuri kuva ku Mana washwaye ishirahamwe ryayo mu 1935, igihe Yehova yashinze kigeze.

22. Ni ayandi makuru ayahe Yohani aronka ku bijanye na rya sinzi rinini?

²² Biciye ku muhora w’Imana, Yohani araronka ayandi makuru ku bijanye n’iryo sinzi rinini. Yigana ati: “Na we [wa mukurambere] ambwira ati: ‘Aba ni abavuye muri ya makuba akomeye, kandi bamesuye amakanzu yabo bayeza mu maraso ya wa Mwagazi w’intama. Ni co gituma bari imbere y’intebe y’ubwami y’Imana; kandi bariko bayikorera igikorwa ceranda umurango n’ijoro mu rusengero rwayo; kandi Uwicaye kuri iyo ntebe y’ubwami azosanza ihema ryiwe hejuru yabo.’”—Ivyahishuwe 7:14b, 15.

23. Amakuba akomeye rya sinzi rinini ‘rizovamwo’ ni iki?

²³ Imbere y’aho, Yezu yari yaravuze ko ukuhaba kwiwe mu buninahazwa bw’Ubwami kwoshitse ku gihe c’agaheta muri ya “makuba akomeye atigeze abaho kuva mu ntango y’isi gushika n’ubu, kandi atazokwongera kubaho.” (Matayo 24:21, 22) Mu gushitsa ubwo buhanuzi, abamarayika bazorekura ya miyaga ine kugira itikize iyi si ya Shetani. Hazobanza gutikizwa Babiloni Akomeye, ya nganji y’isi yose y’idini ry’ikinyoma. Ayo makuba niyamara gukomera cane, Yezu azoca arokora abazoba basigaye kw’isi muri bamwe 144.000, hamwe rero na rya sinzi rinini.—Ivyahishuwe 7:1; 18:2.

24. Abo muri rya sinzi rinini bategerezwa gukora iki kugira barokoke?

²⁴ Abo muri rya sinzi rinini bategerezwa gukora iki kugira barokoke? Wa mukurambere abwira Yohani ko “bamesuye amakanzu yabo bayeza mu maraso ya wa Mwagazi w’intama.” Mu yandi majambo, barizeye ko Yezu ari Umucunguzi wabo, bariyegurira Yehova kandi baravyerekana mu kubatizwa mu mazi, bakaba bafise “ijwi ryo mu mutima ryiza” kubera inyifato yabo igororotse. (1 Petero 3:16, 21; Matayo 20:28) Ku bw’ivyo, baratyoroye kandi baragororotse mu nyonga za Yehova. Baguma kandi birinze ngo ‘ntibatosekazwe n’isi.’—Yakobo 1:27.
