Uyabona, ndazalwa ngoo-1940, kwaye bendisenyanisweni ubomi bam bonke, kwaye bendihlala ndikholelwa ukuba isihloko IMboniselo yaqalwa ngo-1879—I-Zion's Watch Tower kunye neHerald of Christ's Presence—Babubhengeza ubukho bukaKristu njengobuqala ngo-1914.

Ewe, uphuhliso olukhulu Ukubekwa kukaYesu ezulwini, okwaphawula ukuqala kobukho bakhe kumandla oBukumkani. Isiprofeto seBhayibhile sibonisa loo nto Oku kwenzeka ngo-1914. (Daniyeli 4: 13-17) Ukulindela lo msitho kwabangela ukuba abanye abantu bonqulo kule mihla baneliswe ngolindelo. Ulindelo lwalubonakala naphakathi kwaBafundi beBhayibhile abanyanisekayo abaye baqala ukupapasha eli phephandaba ngo-1879 YeZiyon Watch Tower kwaye Herald of EzikaKristu Ubukho.  [Imigodi yeBoldface]

(w92 5/1 iphe. 6 Isizukulwana Se-1914 — Kutheni Kubalulekile?)
UKUQALA kuka-1879 iphephabhuku elaziwa njenge The Watch Tower kwaye Herald of EzikaKristu ubukho (ngoku yaziwa ngokuba The IMboniselo Ukumemezela EzikaYehova ubukumkani) ihlala ikhomba ku-1914 njengonyaka ophawulwe kwisiprofetho seBhayibhile. Njengoko unyaka wawusondela, abafundi bakhunjuzwa ukuba “ixesha elinzima lenkathazo” linokulindeleka.

Olu lwazi lwapapashwa nakude ngamaKrestu, awayelusekele ekuqondeni kwabo "amaxesha asixhenxe" kunye "namaxesha eeNtlanga" akhankanywe eBhayibhileni. Baqonda ukuba eli xesha lineminyaka engama-2,520 1914 — liqala ngokubhukuqwa kobukumkani bamandulo bukaDavide eYerusalem buphela ngo-Oktobha 4. — Daniyeli 16:17, 21; ULuka 24:XNUMX, ukumkani James Inguqulelo.

Ngo-Oktobha 2, 1914, uCharles Taze Russell, owayengumongameli weWatch Tower Bible and Tract Society ngelo xesha, ngenkalipho wathi: “AmaXesha eeNtlanga aphelile; Ookumkani babo baphelelwe lixesha. ” Hayi indlela awangqineka eyinyaniso ngayo amazwi akhe! Engabonakaliyo emehlweni abantu, ngo-Okthobha u-1914 umsitho wokubaluleka kokunyikima komhlaba kwenzeka ezulwini. UYESU khristu, indlalifa esisigxina 'kwitrone kaDavide,' waqalisa ukulawula njengoKumkani phezu koluntu lonke. — Luka 1:32, 33; ISityhilelo 11: 15. [Imigodi yeBoldface]

(w84 12/1 iphe. 14 isiqe. 20 Banoyolo Abo Bafunyenwe Bukele!)
URussell nezinxulumani zakhe ngokukhawuleza baqonda ukuba ubukho bukaKristu babuya kungabonakali. Bazikhuphe kwamanye amaqela kwaye, ngo-1879, yaqala ukupapasha ukutya kokomoya phakathi YeZiyon Watch Tower kwaye Herald of EzikaKristu ubukho. Ukusukela kunyaka wayo wokuqala wokupapashwa, Le magazini ikhombe phambili, ngokubalwa kweZibhalo, kude kube ngumhla we-1914 Njengomhla wophando obalulekileyo kubalo maxesha lweBhayibhile. Ke xa ubukho buka-Kristu obungabonakaliyo baqala ngo-1914, ayonwabile la maKristu kuba afunyanwa ebukele! [Imigodi yeBoldface]

Ke ndaye ndakholelwa ukuba kumashumi eminyaka, I-Zion's Watch Tower kunye neHerald of Christ's Presence yayisalatha ku-1914 njengesiqalo sobukho bukaKristu obungabonakaliyo emazulwini. Sothuke kakhulu ke ngoku, xa sifunda kwisicatshulwa uApolo asinike sona Indalo incwadi, epapashwe ngo-1927, ukuba kwikota yokuqala yama-20^th Inkulungwane, ubuncinci, besikholelwa ukuba ubukho bukaKristu buqale ngo-1874 IZion's Watch Tower Ukubhengeza kwakungekho nto yakwenza no-1914! Ubukho beemagazini obabubhengeza zange bube khona! Sisawathetha la manqaku ephephancwadi njengembali yesiprofeto ngokungathi siza kuthi, 'Ngaba asizanga sibe nobukrelekrele kangaka bokuyivula le nyaniso yeBhayibhile xa bonke abanye babephazama'. Injalo loo nto, nathi sasineempazamo! Kwaye okwangoku, endaweni yokuyivuma, siyaqhubeka nokuzibandakanya kwisiqwenga esimnandi sembali yohlaziyo, sibanga ukuba sasilungile ngalo lonke ixesha kwaye sasikhomba kwi-1914 kwasekuqaleni. Ngokuqinisekileyo, sasikholelwa ukuba u-1914 ubalulekile ngelo xesha. Sasicinga ukuba sisiqalo sembandezelo enkulu kwaye siza kuphela eArmagedon. Khange sikholelwe ukuba ibuphawu lobukho bukaKristu; kodwa yile nto siyiyo ngoku, kwaye sele kungamashumi eminyaka, oko kuthetha. Singayichaza njani into engeyonyaniso ngokuthe ngcembe?
Ngaba abapapashi kwezi zinto zichazwe apha ngasentla bezichazile IZion's Watch Tower Ngaba, ukusukela ngo-1879 ukuya kuthi ga ngo-1927, ayibhengezi u-1914, kodwa yayingu-1874, njengesiqalo sobukho bukaKristu? Ndikufumanisa kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba baya kuthi ngabom bazibandakanye nenkohliso. Mhlawumbi ndiyinto nje engenangqondo, kodwa ndingathanda ukucinga ukuba khange balwenze kakuhle uphando lwabo. Nokuba imeko iyintoni na, kuyacingisisa ukubona indlela ubuxoki obungena ngokulula ngayo kwisakhelo esithandekayo sokuqonda kweZibhalo.
