Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba

Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
nzima bavuga ko ari ubuhakanyi, bityo bayobya abashakaga kumenya ukuri. Iyo abatuye isi
bataza gusindishwa n’inzoga bateretswe na Babuloni ku rwego ruhanitse, abantu benshi
bajyaga kwemezwa kandi bagahindurwa n’ukuri kw’Ijambo ry’Imana kumvikana kandi
gucengera mu mitima. Ariko kwizera kw’idini kumeze nk’ukujijisha cyangwa
nk’ukuvuguruzanya ku buryo abantu bagera aho batabasha kumenya ibyo batakwizera ko ari
ukuri. Icyaha cyo kutihana kw’ab’isi kiri ku muryango w’itorero.
Ubutumwa bwa marayika wa kabiri bwo mu Byahishuwe 14, bwabwirijwe bwa mbere mu
mpeshyi y’umwaka wa 1844, kandi icyo gihe bwari bwerekeje by’umwihariko ku matorero
yo muri Leta zunze Ubumwe za Amerika aho imiburo yerekeye urubanza yari yaravugiwe
cyane nyamara ntiyitabwaho mu buryo bukomeye, kandi ni naho ubuhenebere mu matorero
bwari bwarihuse cyane. Ariko ubutumwa bwa marayika wa kabiri ntibwasohoye bwose mu
mwaka wa 1844. Icyo gihe amatorero yagize kugwa mu by’imico-mbonera bitewe n’uko
yanze umucyo w’ubutumwa bujyanye no kugaruka kwa Kristo; ariko uko kugwa ntikwabaye
kurambarara burundu. Uko bakomezaga kwanga ukuri kudasanzwe kugenewe iki gihe, ni ko
barushagaho guhenebera. Nyamara igihe cyari kitaragera cyo kuvuga ngo, “Iraguye , iraguye
Babuloni . . . yateretse amahanga yose inzoga ari zo ruba ry’ubusambanyi bwawo.” Babuloni
yari itaramara gusindisha amahanga. Umwuka wo kwishushanya n’isi no kutita ku kuri
gushungura abantu kugenewe iki gihe biracyariho kandi byagiye biganza mu matorero yose
afite imyizerere ya Giporotesitanti ari mu bihugu byose birangwamo Ubukristo; kandi ayo
matorero na yo arebwa n’ubutumwa bukomeye kandi buteye ubwoba bwa marayika wa kabiri.
Ariko kandi umurimo w’ubuhakanyi nturagera ku rugero ruheruka.
Bibiliya ivuga ko mbere yo kugaruka k’Umukiza, Satani azakorana “imbaraga zose
n’ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza by’ibinyoma, n’ubuhendanyi bwose bwo gukiranirwa;” 521 kandi
ko “ku batemeye ukuri ngo bakizwe” bazarekerwa mu mwuka w’“ubushukanyi bukomeye
cyane ngo bizere ibinyoma.” Igihe ibi byangombwa bizaba bimaze kuzuzwa, kandi
kwifatanya kw’itorero n’isi bikagerwaho mu buryo bwuzuye aharangwa Ubukristo hose, ni
bwo kugwa kwa Babuloni kuzuzura. Izo mpinduka zigenda buhoro buhoro, kandi ugusohora
guheruka k’ubutumwa bwo mu Byahishuwe 14:8 kuzabaho mu gihe kizaza.
Nubwo hari umwijima mu by’umwuka ndetse no gutandukana n’Imana birangwa mu
matorero agize Babuloni, umugabane munini w’abayoboke nyakuri ba Kristo baracyarangwa
muri ayo matorero. Muri bo harimo benshi batigeze bumva ukuri kudasanzwe kugenewe iki
gihe. Hari benshi batanyuzwe n’uko bari muri iki gihe kandi bifuza cyane kubona umucyo
uruseho. Bashakisha ishusho ya Kristo mu matorero barimo ariko ntibayibone. Uko ayo
matorero azagenda arushaho kujya kure y’ukuri maze akifatanya cyane n’isi, ni ko
itandukaniro hagati y’ayo matsinda yombi rizarushaho kuba rinini, kandi ayo matsinda
atandukane. Igihe kizagera ubwo abakunda Imana kuruta byose batazashobora gukomeza
komatana n’“abakunda ibibanezeza kuruta Imana, bafite ishusho yo kwera ariko bahakana
imbaraga zako.”
