Yesu akadzabweranso chinthu choyamba chimene adzachite ndicho kuukitsa oyera mtima ake – amene anafa ndipo ali kugona m’manda; pamenepo adzasintha ophunzira ake amene ali ndi moyo pa nthawiyo. Izi zikuphunzitsidwa momveka bwino kwa ife mu 1 Atesalonika. 4:13-18 : “Abale, sitifuna kuti mukhale osadziwa za akugona, kapena muchisoni monga otsalawo, opanda chiyembekezo; Timakhulupirira kuti Yesu anafa ndi kuuka, choncho timakhulupirira kuti Mulungu adzabweretsa pamodzi ndi Yesu amene akugona mwa iye. Monga mwa mau a Ambuye, tikukuuzani kuti ife amene tikali ndi moyo, otsalira kufikira kudza kwa Ambuye, sitidzatsogolera iwo akugona. Pakuti Ambuye mwini adzatsika kuchokera kumwamba, ndi mawu amphamvu, ndi mawu a mngelo wamkulu, ndi lipenga la Mulungu, ndipo akufa mwa Khristu adzayamba kuuka. Pambuyo pake, ife amene tikali ndi moyo, otsalafe, tidzakwatulidwa nawo pamodzi m’mitambo kukakumana ndi Ambuye mumlengalenga. + Choncho tidzakhala ndi Yehova mpaka kalekale. Chifukwa chake limbikitsanani ndi mawu awa. Chochitika chodabwitsa chimenechi chikutchulidwanso pa Chivumbulutso 20:6 : “Odala ndi oyera mtima ali iwo amene achita nawo pa kuuka koyamba; Imfa yachiŵiri ilibe mphamvu pa iwo, koma adzakhala ansembe a Mulungu ndi a Kristu, nadzachita ufumu pamodzi ndi iye zaka chikwi.
Popeza uku ndi kuuka “koyamba,” tiyenera kuyembekezera kuŵerenga za kuuka kwa akufa. Dziko lonse la anthu tsiku lina lidzaukitsidwa kwachiwiri. Yesu anatchula zimenezi pa Yohane 5:28-29 : “Ikudza nthaŵi, imene onse ali m’manda adzamva mawu ake, nadzatulukira, amene adachita zabwino, kukuuka kwa moyo; amene adachita zoipa, kukuuka kwa kuweruza.”
Mosiyana ndi zimene zipembedzo zambiri zimaphunzitsa, zimenezi zidzabweretsa nthawi padziko lapansi pamene anthu onse adzakhala ndi mwayi wophunzira chilungamo. Timaŵerenga za zimenezi pa Yesaya 26:9 : “Pakuti pamene maweruzo anu ali padziko lapansi, okhala m’dziko lapansi adzaphunzira chilungamo.”
Panthaŵiyo Satana, amene wachititsa khungu maganizo a anthu ( 1 Akorinto 4:4 ) sadzaloledwanso kutero. Lemba la Chivumbulutso 20:1-2 limatiuza kuti: “Ndinaona mngelo akutsika kumwamba, ali ndi kiyi wa phompho, ndi unyolo waukulu m’dzanja lake. Iye anagwira chinjoka, njoka yakale ija, amene ali Mdyerekezi ndi Satana, nam’manga zaka 1,000.”
Iyi si nthano! Aneneri a Chipangano Chakale analankhula za izo. Yesu ndi atumwi ake analalikira. Ndipotu Yesu anati pa Yohane 3:16-17 , “Pakuti Mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi kotero kuti anapatsa Mwana wake wobadwa yekha, kuti yense wakukhulupirira Iye asatayike, koma akhale nawo moyo wosatha. Pakuti Mulungu sanatume Mwana wake ku dziko lapansi kuti adzaweruze dziko lapansi, koma kuti dziko lapansi likapulumutsidwe ndi Iye.” Padzakhala nthaŵi, posachedwapa, pamene Mulungu adzakhazikitsa Ufumu Wake padziko lapansi limene tikukhalamo, ndi kuika Yesu kukhala Mfumu ndi Wolamulira wake. Tingakhale otsimikiza kuti Mawu a Mulungu ndi odalirika, ndipo adzakwaniritsa zimene walonjeza. Yesaya 55:11 amati, “Momwemo ali mawu anga otuluka m’kamwa mwanga: Sadzabwerera kwa Ine opanda kanthu, koma adzachita chimene ndifuna, ndi kukwaniritsa chimene ndinawatumizira.” Inde, Mulungu ali ndi cholinga chenicheni chimene Yesu anafera pa Mtanda wa Kalvare kuti awombole anthu onse ku chilango cha uchimo ndi imfa chimene chinabwera pa ife pamene Adamu anachimwa m’munda wa Edeni. Paulo akutiuza mu 1 Timoteo 2:5-6, “Pakuti pali Mulungu mmodzi, ndi mkhalapakati mmodzi pakati pa Mulungu ndi anthu, munthu Kristu Yesu, amene anadzipereka yekha chiwombolo cha anthu onse; umboni uyenera kuperekedwa m’malo mwake. nthawi.” Inde, imfa ndi kuukitsidwa kwa Yesu zimatsogolera ku kukwaniritsidwa kwa lonjezo la Mulungu kwa Abrahamu lakuti “mwa iwe ndi mbewu yako (Yesu) anthu onse adzadalitsidwa.” ( Genesis 12:1-2 ) Inde, imfa ndi chiukiriro cha Yesu zimatsogolera ku kukwaniritsidwa kwa lonjezo la Mulungu kwa Abrahamu lakuti “mwa iwe ndi m’mbewu yako (Yesu) anthu onse adzadalitsidwa.” ( Genesis 12:1-2 ) Inde, imfa ya Yesu ndi chiukiriro chake zimatsogolera ku kukwaniritsidwa kwa lonjezo la Mulungu kwa Abrahamu lakuti “mwa iwe ndi mbewu yako (Yesu) adzadalitsidwa.” Zotsatirazi zikufotokoza bwino lomwe zimene zidzakwaniritsidwa mu Ufumu waulemerero umene ukubwerawu.

“Tsukani maso anu kwa kamphindi kuti muone zowawa ndi matsoka, kunyozeka ndi chisoni zimene zidakalipo chifukwa cha uchimo, ndipo yerekezerani m’maganizo mwanu ulemerero wa dziko lapansi langwiro. Palibe banga la uchimo limene limasokoneza mgwirizano ndi mtendere wa anthu angwiro; osati maganizo owawa, osati maonekedwe opanda chifundo kapena mawu; chikondi, chotuluka kuchokera mu mtima uliwonse, chimakumana ndi kuyankha kwachibale mu mtima wina uliwonse, ndipo chifundo chimakhala chizindikiro chochita chilichonse. Uko sikudzakhalakonso matenda; osati zowawa, kapena zowawa, kapena umboni wa chivundi, ngakhale kuopa zinthu zotere. Ganizirani za zithunzithunzi zonse za thanzi loyerekeza ndi kukongola kwa maonekedwe a munthu ndi mawonekedwe omwe mudawonapo, ndipo dziwani kuti umunthu wangwiro udzakhala wa kukongola kopambana. Ungwiro wamkati ndi ungwiro wamaganizo ndi wamakhalidwe udzasokoneza ndi kulemekeza nkhope iliyonse yowala. Anthu a dziko lapansi adzakhala oterowo; ndipo ofedwa olira adzapukutidwa misozi yawo yonse, pamene azindikira kuti ntchito ya chiukiriro yatha.”
When Jesus returns the first thing He will do is to raise His saints -- those who have died and are now sleeping in their graves; then He will change His disciples who are alive at that time. This is clearly taught to us in 1 Thessalonians. 4:13-18: “Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore, encourage each other with these words.” This wonderful scene is also referred to in Revelation 20:6: “Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.”
Since this is a “first” resurrection, we should expect to read about one to follow. The whole world of mankind will one day experience this second resurrection. Jesus referred to this in John 5:28-29: “...the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth -- those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.”
Contrary to what many denominations teach, this will bring a time upon earth when all mankind will have an opportunity to learn righteousness. We read of this in Isaiah 26:9: “For when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”
At that time Satan, who has blinded the minds of men (1 Corinthians 4:4), will not any longer be allowed to do so. Revelation 20:1-2 tells us, “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.”
This is not a fable! The Prophets of the Old Testament spoke of it. Jesus and His Apostles preached it. In fact, Jesus said in John 3:16-17, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” There will be a time, in the near future, when God will establish His Kingdom on this earth in which we live, and set up Jesus as its King and Ruler. We can be very confident that God’s Word is sure, and it will accomplish what it promises. Isaiah 55:11 says, “So is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Yes, God has a definte purpose for which Jesus died on Calvary’s Cross to redeem all mankind from the penalty of sin and death that came upon us when Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden. Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 2:5-6, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men -- the testimony to be given in its proper time.” Yes, Jesus’ death and resurrection leads to the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham that “in you and your seed (Jesus) all mankind will be blessed” (Genesis 12:1-2). The following beautifully describes what will be accomplished in this glorious coming Kingdom.

A Preview Of The Finished Kingdom
“Close your eyes for a moment to the scenes of misery and woe, degradation and sorrow that yet prevail on account of sin, and picture before your mental vision the glory of the perfect earth. Not a stain of sin mars the harmony and peace of a perfect society; not a bitter thought, not an unkind look or word; love, welling up from every heart, meets a kindred response in every other heart, and benevolence marks every act. There sickness shall be no more; not an ache nor a pain, nor any evidence of decay -- not even the fear of such things. Think of all the pictures of comparative health and beauty of human form and feature that you have ever seen, and know that perfect humanity will be of still surpassing loveliness. The inward purity and mental and moral perfection will stamp and glorify every radiant countenance. Such will earth’s society be; and weeping bereaved ones will have all their tears wiped away, when thus they realize the resurrection work complete.”
