Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
n’abayobozi b’itorero ku rwego rw’igihugu byabaye ngombwa ko bemera ko ukuboko
kw’Imana kuri mu biri gukorwa.
Byari ubushake bw’Imana ko inkuru yo kugaruka k’Umukiza yamamazwa mu bihugu byo
mu karere ka Scandinavia; kandi ubwo amajwi y’abagaragu b’Umukiza yacecekeshwaga,
Imana yashyize Mwuka wayo mu bana kugira ngo umurimo wayo ubashe gukorwa. Igihe
Yesu yari agiye kugera i Yerusalemu ashagawe n’abantu benshi bishimye, batera hejuru
amajwi yo gutsinda, bazunguza amashami y’imikindo kandi bavuga ko ari Umwana wa
Dawidi, Abafarisayo b’abanyeshyari bamusabye gucecekesha abantu; ariko Yesu abasubiza
ko ibyo babona ari ibisohoza ubuhanuzi kandi ko nibaceceka amabuye ubwayo azaririmba.
Abantu batewe ubwoba n’ibikangisho by’abatambyi n’abategetsi, bahereye ko bahagarika
indirimbo zabo z’ibyishimo ubwo binjiraga mu marembo ya Yerusalemu; ariko bacecetse
abana bari bari mu mbuga y’urusengero baririmbye inyikirizo ya ya ndirimbo bazunguza
amashami y’imikindo bari bafite bati: “Hoziyana mwene Dawidi!” Ariko Abafarisayo
bararakara cyane, baramubwira bati: “Aho urumva ibyo aba bavuga?” Yesu arabasubiza ati:
“Yee, ntimwari mwasoma ngo: ‘Mu kanwa k’abana bato n’abonka wabonyemo ishimwe
ritagira inenge’?” 490 Nk’uko Imana yakoreye mu bana mu gihe cyo kuza kwa Kristo bwa
mbere, ni nako na none izakoresha abana mu kwamamaza ubutumwa bwo kugaruka kwe.
Ijambo ry’Imana rivuga ko kwamamazwa ubutumwa bwo kugaruka k’Umukiza bikwiriye
kugera mu mahanga yose, mu moko yose, mu ndimi no mu mahanga yose rigomba gusohora.
William Miller na bagenzi be bahawe umurimo wo kuvuga ubutumwa bw’imbuzi muri
Amerika. Iki gihugu cyahindutse ihuriro ry’umurimo mugari w’Abadiventisiti. Aho niho
ubuhanuzi buboneka mu butumwa bwa marayika wa mbere bwasohoreye mu buryo
butaziguye. Inyandiko za Miller na bagenzi be zajyanwe mu bihugu bya kure cyane. Inkuru
nziza yo kugaruka kwa Kristo kwegereje yamamajwe ahantu hose ababwirizabutumwa
bageze ku isi. Ubutumwa bwiza bw’iteka ryose buvuga ngo, “Nimwubahe Imana
muyihimbaze, kuko igihe cyo gucira abantu urubanza gisohoye”, bwamamajwe hafi na kure.
Ubuhamya bw’ubuhanuzi bwasaga naho bushyiraho itariki yo kuza kwa Kristo mu gihe
cy’umuhindo w’umwaka 1844, bwacengeye cyane mu ntekerezo z’abantu. Uko ubwo
butumwa bwamamaraga buva muri Leta imwe bujya mu yindi; hirya no hino habayeho
ikanguka rikomeye. Abantu benshi bemeye ko ingingo zivugwa zerekeye ibihe by’ubuhanuzi
ari ukuri maze ibyo bari bishingikirijeho by’ubwibone barabireka bakirana umunezero uko
kuri. Ababwirizabutumwa bamwe baretse ibitekerezo byabo byo kwirema ibice, bemera
guhara imishahara yabo n’amatorero yabo maze bafatanya n’abandi kwamamaza ubutumwa
bwo kugaruka kwa Yesu Kristo. Nyamara ugereranyije ababwirizabutumwa bake cyane ni bo
bemeye ubwo butumwa bityo umugabane munini mu kubwamamaza bihabwa
abakorerabushake boroheje. Abahinzi baretse imirima yabo, abanyabukorikori bareka
ibikoresho byabo, abacuruzi bareka ubucuruzi bwabo, abakozi b’abanyamwuga bareka
imyanya yabo; nyamara umubare w’abakozi wabaye muto ugereranyije n’umurimo
wagombaga gukorwa. Imibereho y’itorero ritubahaga Imana ndetse n’isi yasaye mu bibi,
