Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
kwihana ibibi, bicisha bugufi imbere y’Imana, kandi habaho gusaba kuzuye kwihana
n’umutima umenetse, basaba Imana imbabazi ndetse no kwemerwa. Bwateje kwicisha bugufi
no kwiyoroshya k’ubugingo mu buryo tutigeze tubona. Nk’uko Uwiteka yari yarabitegetse
abinyujije mu kanwa ka Yoweli, avuga iby’igihe umunsi ukomeye w’Imana uzaba wegereje,
iyo nkuru yateye gushishimura imitima atari imyambaro, kandi itera abantu kugarukira
Uhoraho biyiriza ubusa, barira kandi baboroga. Nk’uko Imana yabivugiye mu muhanuzi
Zekariya, umwuka w’ubuntu no kwambaza wasutswe ku bana bayo; bitegereza uwo bacumise
amacumu, maze igihugu cyose gicura umuborogo, . . . kandi abari bategereje Umukiza
bacishiriza bugufi ubugingo bwabo imbere Ye.” 534
Mu bubyutse bwose mu by’idini bwabayeho uhereye mu gihe cy’intumwa, nta na bumwe
bwigeze bubaho butarangwamo inenge z’abantu n’ubuhendanyi bwa Satani nk’ubwabaye mu
gihe cy’umuhindo w’umwaka wa 1844. Ndetse na n’ubu, nyuma y’imyaka myinshi, abantu
bose bagize uruhare muri ubwo bubyutse kandi bashikamye ku kuri baracyumva ko hari
imbaraga yera yayoboraga uwo murimo wari uhiriwe kandi bahamya ko wakomokaga ku
Mana koko.
Ubwo ijwi ryavugaga ngo, “Dore Umukwe araje, nimusohoke mumusanganire!” abari
bategereje “barahagurutse bakongeza amatara yabo.” Bigaga ijambo ry’Imana
babishishikariye mu buryo butari bwarigeze bubaho. Ijuru ryohereje abamarayika ngo bajye
gukangura abari baracitse intege no kubategurira kwakira ubutumwa. Ntabwo umurimo
wahagaze mu bwenge n’ubuhanga by’abantu, ahubwo washikamye mu bushobozi bw’Imana.
Ntabwo abafite impano z’akataraboneka ari bo babaye aba mbere mu kumva no kumvira
ihamagarwa ahubwo ni abacishije bugufi cyane n’abitanze. Abahinzi basize imyaka yabo yari
mu mirima, abakanishi barambika hasi ibikoresho byabo bajya kuvuga ubutumwa bw’imbuzi
bafite ishavu n’ibyishimo. Abari barigeze kuba aba mbere muri uwo murimo babonetse mu
bantu ba nyuma binjiye muri iyi gahunda yo kuvuga uwo muburo. Muri rusange, amatorero
yakinze inzugi ntiyakira ubwo butumwa, maze umubare munini w’ababwakiriye
witandukanya n’ayo matorero. Mu burinzi bw’Imana uko kwamamazwa k’ubutumwa
bw’imbuzi kwafatanyije n’ubutumwa bwa marayika wa kabiri maze biha imbaraga uwo
murimo.
Ubutumwa bugira buti, “Dore Umukwe araje,” ntibwari bukigirwaho impaka cyane,
nubwo igihamya cyatangwaga n’Ibyanditswe cyagaragaraga kandi kidashidikanywaho.
Ubwo butumwa bwaherekejwe n’imbaraga ikomeye yakanguraga imitima. Nta gushidikanya
cyangwa kubaza byinshi kwariho. Igihe Kristo yinjiraga muri Yerusalemu nk’umuneshi,
abantu benshi bari bavuye hirya no hino mu gihugu baje kwizihiza umunsi mukuru, bihutiye
kujya ku musozi wa Elayono maze ubwo bifatanyaga n’imbaga y’abantu bari bashagaye
Yesu, nabo buzuwe n’ubwuzu bwariho muri iyo saha maze bafatanya n’abandi gutera hejuru
bavuga bati: “Hoziyana mwene Dawidi, hahirwa uje mu izina ry’Uwiteka!” 535 Ni muri ubwo
buryo, abatizera bagiye baza mu materaniro y’Abadiventisiti — bamwe bazanwe n’amatsiko,
