Ubusesemo ubwaba pa Ukusokolola 17:10 bulomfwana no bwaba mwi buuku lya kwa Daniele. Daniele alembele pa “cimpashanya icikalamba” ico Imfumu ya Babiloni Nebukadnesari bailangile mu cimonwa kuli Lesa. (Daniele 2:28, 31-43) Daniele asokolwelele imfumu ukuti ifilundwa fya mubili wa cimpashanya fyaleimininako ifyo amabufumu yali no kukonkana, ukutendekela no buteko bwa Babiloni ubwali amaka ya calo pali ilya inshita. (Ubufumu bwa Egupti na Asiria ninshi bwena bwaliwa kale.) Ifyo Baibolo yasobele fyalicitika:

Umutwe wa golde waleimininako Ubufumu bwa Babiloni.

Icifuba na maboko ifya silfere fyaleimininako Ubufumu bwa Madai na Persia.

Ifumo na matanta ifya mukuba fyaleimininako Ubufumu bwa kale ubwa Grisi.

Amolu ya cela yaleimininako Ubufumu bwa Roma.

Amakasa, ayalimo icela lubali, na lubali ibumba, yaleimininako ifyo imitekele na bantu bashali no kwikatana ilyo Ubufumu bwa Anglo-America bukalateka.

Pa Ukusokolola 17:10, Daniele atile ubuteko bwa calo ubwakwatisha amaka ubwalenga 7, ‘bukekala fye inshita iinono.’ Bushe buli no kuteka imyaka iinga? Bushe buli no kutwalilila fye ukuteka? Kabili finshi fili no kucitika ku ntanshi? Daniele alyasuka bwino aya mepusho.

Isubilo Mwingacetekela

Pa numa ya kulondolola icimpashanya tulandilepo kale, Daniele alembele ati: “Ilibwe lyaputulwa [ku lupili] apabula iminwe, kabili lyapoolele icimpashanya pa makasa ya ciko aya cela ne bumba no kuyatobaula.” (Daniele 2:34) Bushe ifyo Daniele amwene fyalepilibula cinshi?

Daniele atwalilile ukusosa ati: “Mu nshiku sha shamfumu isho [isha kulekelesha], Lesa wa mu muulu akemya ubufumu ubushakonaulwe nakalya. Kabili ubo bufumu tabwakashiilwe ku bantu bambi. Bukashonaula no kupwisha aya mabufumu yonse [aya pe sonde], kabili bwena bukeminina umuyayaya.”b (Daniele 2:44, 45) Moneni ifi fishinka ifyacindama:

1. Lesa e ‘ukemya’ Ubufumu ubwaimininwako ne libwe ilikalamba ubukacimfya amabufumu yonse kabili ubu Bufumu tabwakemikwe ku “minwe” ya bantu. Kanshi e mulandu wine bwitilwa ukuti Ubufumu bwa kwa Lesa.

2. Ubufumu bwa kwa Lesa, “bukashonaula” amabufumu yonse aya bantunse ukubikako fye no bufumu ubwakwatisha amaka ubwalenga 7. Mulandu nshi? Pantu bakafwaya ukutwalilila fye ukuteka, kabili bakalwisha Lesa mu nkondo ya kulekeleshako ku cifulo ca mampalanya icitwa Armagedone. Baibolo ilalondolola bwino ukutila iyi nkondo ikeshila “ishamfumu sha ba pano isonde shonse.”—Ukusokolola 16:13, 14, 16.

3. Ukupusanako na mabufumu ya bantunse ayashitwalilila ukuteka e lyo no kubikako fye na mabufumu 7 ayakwatishe maka, Ubufumu bwa kwa Lesa bwena ‘tabwakonaulwe nakalya.’ Kabili bukateka ne calo conse.—Daniele 2:35, 44.
