ISambulo 20

20 ¹Ngabona ingelosi yehla ivela ezulwini, iphethe ngesandla ukhiye womgodi ongenamkhawulo neketanga elikhulu. ²Wabamba udrako, inyoka endala, uDeveli noSathane, wambopha iminyaka eyinkulungwane. ³Wamphonsa emgodini ongenamkhawulo, wawuvala wawunamathelisa ngaphezu kwakhe, ukuze angabe esazikhohlisa izizwe kuze kuphele iminyaka eyinkulungwane; andukuba akhululwe isikhashana.

⁴Ngabona izihlalo zobukhosi; labo ababehlezi kuzo banikwa igunya lokwahlulela. Ngabona nemiphefumulo yalabo ababenqunywe amakhanda ngenxa yobufakazi babo ngoJesu nangezwi likaBaba wethu—ababengakhulekelanga isilo noma umfanekiso waso, abangazange bamukele uphawu lwaso ebunzini noma esandleni. Bavuka baphila, babusa noKhristu iminyaka eyinkulungwane. ⁵(Abanye abafileyo ababuyelanga ekuphileni kuze kuphele iminyaka eyinkulungwane.) Lokhu kungukuvuka kwabafileyo kokuqala. ⁶Ubusisiwe futhi ungcwele lowo onesabelo ekuvukeni kokuqala; ukufa kwesibili akunamandla phezu kwabo, kodwa bayakuba ngabapristi bakaBaba wethu nabakaKhristu, babuse naye iminyaka eyinkulungwane.

Ukukhululwa kukaSathane

⁷Lapho iminyaka eyinkulungwane isiphelile, uSathane uyakukhululwa entolongweni yakhe. ⁸Uyakuphuma ayokhohlisa izizwe emagumbini amane omhlaba—uGogi noMagogi—azibuthele empini, inani lazo linjengesihlabathi solwandle. ^a a v8 UGogi noMagogi akuzona izizwe ezimbili ngempela kodwa bayizifanekiselo, ezithathwe kumprofethi u-Ezekiyeli, zabo bonke abantu abavukelayo bomhlaba ababuthene bamelene nabantu bakaBaba wethu. ⁹Baqhubeka bawela ububanzi bonke bomhlaba bakaka ikamu labangcwele nomuzi othandekayo, kodwa kwehla umlilo uvela kuBaba wethu uphuma ezulwini wabashwabadela. ¹⁰UDeveli owabakhohlisayo waphonswa echibini lomlilo nesibabule, lapho kwakukhona khona isilo nomprofethi wamanga. Bayakuhlushwa imini nobusuku kuze kube phakade naphakade.

Isihlalo Sobukhosi Esikhulu Esimhlophe

¹¹Ngabona isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe nalowo owayehlezi kuso. Umhlaba nezulu kwabaleka ebusweni bakhe; akubange kusaba khona indawo yakho. ^b b v11 Isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe sokwahlulela kokugcina siyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaBaba wethu. Wonke umuntu owake waphila uma phambi kwakhe. ¹²Ngabona abafileyo, abakhulu nabancane, bemi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi. Imiqulu yavulwa, kwavulwa nomunye—incwadi yokuphila. Abafileyo bahlulelwa ngalokho okwakulotshiwe emiqulwini, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngokwezenzo zakhe. ¹³Ulwandle lwakhipha abafileyo balo; uKufa neliba kwakhipha abafileyo bakho; kwahlulelwa yilowo nalowo ngalokho akwenzayo. ¹⁴UKufa neliba kwaphonswa echibini lomlilo. Lokhu kungukufa kwesibili—ichibi lomlilo. ¹⁵Noma ngubani ogama lakhe elingatholakalanga libhaliwe encwadini yokuphila waphonswa echibini lomlilo.
