October 20, 293/365- Today the Rogue Players invade the "Word Interpretation" group where we are to illustrate a word with the photo.
"M" is the producer for my television production student staff this year, since the first day in my class as a freshman we have had a great understanding with each other. She is an effective leader but also is always willing to listen to suggestions. I know when we have problems with the show I can talk to her and she can talk to me, we do have a great understanding with each other and respect!
Also wore my pink shirt today for "Pretty Pink Tuesday" and for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

As part of the required course knowledge pupils need to be able to outline the process involved in taking a square wooden blank and preparing it for turning between centres. These pictures depict that process chronologically.
Stage 1 * Preparation of wooden blank. Cut to size. Sand square. Mark across diagonals. Centre punch the centre point. Use spring dividers to mark circumference. Repeat on other end.
Stage 2 * Plane off corners down to circumference line. This takes cross section from square to octagon. This reduces force on cutting toll in initial prep of blank. Mount between fork [driven] centre and dead [or live ] centre at tailstock end. Apply grease a dead centre end. apply force from tailstock end to force fork into material at driven end. Adjust toolstock height to suit. Check for clearance.
Stage 3 * Roughout using scraper to diameter. Use combination of gouges and skew chisels to add beads and other decorative detailing as required. Ensure spindle speed is appropriate for material and cross section under consideration. Obey all safety instructions.
Talks consisted of: Understanding the risks of moving in with family and helping the family financially; changing transport needs and laws; medicine, alcohol and healthy lifestyle.

Being in Rotary is not a part in our life. It’s our life
It was a great feeling when you have the opportunity to wear rotary logo on your shirt. It’s time to take responsibility on your shoulders to serve your community.
When I joined rotaract movement way back in 2024, I never realized that I will represent RI Dist. 3230 as a goodwill ambassador to become a Member of the GSE Team to RI Dist 1880, North Bavaria & Saxony, Germany, during May /Jun. 2013
We the GSE team Sasi, Sharanya, Soundarya and myself Dinesh headed by Rtn. Sabu Balagopal had many meetings to sketch ourselves from Jan to May 2013 before our departure to Germany. We discussed over mails, regular meetings, get together with Rtns, dist conference thought us how big is the opportunity for us and how should we prepare ourselves to take our 3230 brand to fly high with colors.
40 to 4
Departed from Chennai with 40 degree summer and landed in Leipzig via Frankfurt and cool 4 degree of Germany welcomed us. Wow how cool it was…
We received warm welcome from Albrecht Hartge, GSE chair of RI Dist 1880,Germany with his team. We enthusiastic 5 people was looking forward to our next 30 days. Yes we were much excited.
We experienced and learned many things in Germany starting from history. architecture, historical churches, museums, city visits etc.
We had good opportunity to visit World Headquarters of Audi where they hosted our Indian National flag to welcome us. Rotary power is great. We extended our visits to
Vocational Visits and Networking opportunities
•Berlin- Parliament, Indian Embassy,Charlie Point,Historic wall, Olympic Stadium etc.
•Hosted by TV stations, Radio channels. Our show in German O+TV (www.otv.de/ambergweiden-rotary-club-verbindet-kontinente-...)
•Companies and manufacturing units of Volkswagen, Porshe,
•Great experience by spending in a silver mine
•Visits to University of Leipzig, Regensburg, Frieberg, Bayreuth, Erlangen-Nurnberg to initiate International Youth Exchnage and youth forum

•Visits to German Supreme Court and meeting with Judges
•Meeting Mayor and deputy mayors
Home stays- The home away from home
One of the life time experience where sharing proud things about country, learning the new culture and family values of the hosts, late night dinner talks, going out like one family. Overall we never missed our Indian hospitality in Germany.
Rotaractors
As a rotaractor from our district I had good opportunities to visit all the rotaractors in host clubs, I have received invitation to speak in President elect training seminar(PETS) where I had the opportunites to share about our RI dist 3230 Rotaract council and I shared our flag with all the rotaract club members. They were very kind to us and interested to hear about our rotaract activities and they felt excited to hear our numbers 23000 rtrs.
1880 Dist conference, Culture and arts
We presented our 3230 GSE team in a grand manner where we showed about video of India and Tamilnadu and also we performed cultural activities of India with Vande Matharam song by Saranya and Soundarya followed by solo folk dance by Dinesh and karate performance by Sasi. Finally audience felt happy when we performed our group dance with Tamil folk, Bollywood and Hollywood where our team leader also joined in dance performance. On seeing this we received warm invitations from all the rotary clubs . We performed in 7 clubs
Rotary and team Spirit
We had good chance to show our sporting skills. Yes Sasi and me (Dinesh) participated in Dragon Boat Race as part of Rotary clubs of Erlangen Fundraising efforts and finished 2nd in one of the race. Rotary raised 24000 euros for community projects
Future after GSE
We had great time in Germany studying vocation, experiencing culture, learning professionalism etc. It will be a starting point to shape my future . GSE created a platform to think beyond our comfort zone, hard work, team work, communication, networking etc. I believe in sharing and learning and this journey never ends
Coming year I am planning to create strategy to work with our RI 3230 District rotaract council to strengthen our rotaract zone in city plus and upcountry where lot of young people like me longing for opportunities. They need a platform.. I am willing to provide that. Also will build up IT assistance, social networking, planning New generation projects with my Parent club RC of Gudiyattam
After the GSE experience I expanded my Sports for Development Projects to Serve Young People with curriculum like Life skills, Service Learning, Adolescent health, Physical recreation and social learning to reach 10000 kids in 2 years. This will be my next major project and I would like to joint with other rotary clubs to spread the word to reach the unreached

This image demonstrates that flux is an enormously important parameter in plasma-facing materials. Lower fluxes allow helium to reach greater depths before it becomes immobilized. This has implications for experimental comparison, as it indicates that much deeper and larger bubbles will form than those that exist during the high-flux simulations typically published to date.
Helium depth distributions under a W(100) surface at a fluence of 4.0 × 1018 m–2 for three different flux values, 3.3 × 1025 m–2s–1, 1.6 × 1028 m–2s–1, and 3.3 × 1025 m–2s–1. The figures at lower left show helium bubbles underneath the surface for each flux.

As part of the Atmosphere to Electrons initiative, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) developed a 3-year collaborative research plan to develop and field test wind turbine controls. New control systems, such as the advanced feedforward control system that incorporates lidar and is currently under development at NREL, will help researchers improve simulations and increase the understanding of the physics impacting wind plant performance. The plan developed by the two laboratories identified collaborative field testing of wind plant controls at SNL's Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) Facility.

At the beginning of this course I was given the topic of Clash, Culture, Chaos. From this title I began my journey by venturing different aspects of each word, and I was instantly attracted to the fashion side of the subject as I found ways that each noun could be interpreted into this area. I chose fashion as a starting point because of this and I also feel like it reflects my own personal inspiration. From this starting point I went on to look at basic fashion as we know it and I then looked at in more depth by viewing areas such as Fair Trade fashion that may not be as well-known and I found a photographer working with fair trade who I then went on to take photographs in a similar way creating connections. Throughout this process I also began to look at old cameras and had a go at using a 35mm SLR camera. I carried on my adventure through old time periods as I linked in fashion and other cameras over time. As I enjoy artwork as well as photographing as you can see in my work, I came across Bert Stern’s photo shoot with Marilyn Monroe and their final photos which inspired me to use art materials in my final pieces.
From the beginning of my journey I explored the work of many different photographers. I tried to emulate the work of Trevor Leighton, which I felt worked really well and I also managed to learn some skills such as the use of light therefore I created some successful photographs. I also investigated the work of Erwin Blumenfeld as I found his work very different and creative. However, I did not feel inspired by his photographs there did not influence it in my own work. As previously stated, I found Bert Stern’s ‘The Last Sitting’ photo shoot which inspired me to use a combination of art and photography in my final pieces.
My work is about how things have changed over. For my final piece I decided to focus on an aspect of fashion and cameras that we no longer regularly find in present day. When I look at my work I think about the comparison between my digital SLR and disposable camera photographs. The messages that I want to get across in my final outcomes is that although technology and fashion has moved on and improved from the past, you can still create work that is just as good by using old processes and that a simple difference in a photograph can show two different ways of looking at it. I have shown this through the paint strike across the images on acetate. To inform and inspire my work I looked at the work of Trevor Leighton and Bert Stern. Trevor inspired me to use a fashion photo shoot for my final pieces and Bert’s work influenced me to get creative with my outcomes. I took secondary source photographs in a similar style to Trevor’s Fair Trade photo shoot creating connections between our work. I have learned that photography is not only about the photographs themselves; they can also have other aspects like in my final products.
I took my photographs on a cannon digital SLR camera and a disposable camera. I also took photographs on a singlex 35mm SLR camera to show more variety in my theme of cameras over time however when I processed my film in the darkroom the negatives came out blank.
I used aperture to touch up my digital SLR images and I also completely reduced the saturation so that they were black and white to fit in with the theme. I feel that making them black and white also helped to show the clash with the coloured paint once I had added it. Once I had received my disposable camera outcomes, I began to cut down and paint the pieces of acetate that were to be sewn to all of the photos. I hand sewed the acetate to the images to influence show my understanding of my fair trade research. Using acetate instead of painting straight onto my photographs helps to show how there are two way to look at them as you can still easily view the images without the paint.
In my work I have shown that I can use the basic elements. I have used form, texture, colour and tone. Using these I could ensure that my photos weren’t too simple or basic, and that they can maintain attention and interest from viewers. You can see that I have used some rules of composition such as changing the positioning of the model, in the centre and slightly off centred. I think that if my work was larger it would show a better understand of the point that I was trying to get across, however I did not have the facilities to do so.
Before finishing my final pieces I did a couple of experiments to see what else I could use on my work. I tried the effect of tea staining as it again showed the theme of ‘over time’, and I also attempted to print my final outcomes out onto acetate. I decided that I did not like these processes therefore did not use them.
I managed to settle on my final ideas and techniques for my final piece by looking through all of the work that I have completed and I picked out certain things that I thought worked and that I liked. I used these as my guidelines and I put them all together to get my plan for my final outcomes.
As a conclusion, I personally think that I have responded very well to the brief and have created some interesting forms of photography from the starting theme of Clash, Culture, Chaos. I feel this way as all of my work and research is somehow linked in with my final pieces. I think that my work connected to the work of Bert Stern for both obvious and deeper reasons such as the paint strikes, fashion portraits, and positions of the models. When I look at my work I feel like I can see how technology has changed over time yet still looks just as good in its own way. The most successful part of my work in my opinion is how you can see the comparison of the cameras, and how you can see two ways to view the images. I think that my photographs are successful.
Why understanding is important between husband and wife?
When a married couple lacks interpersonal understanding they are bound to get into conflicts due to misunderstandings and wrong assumptions about each other. Communication is the key to understanding between husband and wife.

Gli attacchi con droni sono gli elementi più caratteristici della guerra contemporanea. Sia quando utilizzati in scenari di guerra convenzionali sia quando utilizzati per programmi di uccisioni mirate, i droni armati militari sono solitamente operati dietro un velo di segretezza che impedisce ai cittadini e ai giornalisti di accedere ai dati e alle statistiche riguardanti le morti di civili e l’efficienza degli attacchi. Gli Stati Uniti sono di certo il maggior attore nel settore, ma l’uso dei droni si sta diffondendo in tutto il mondo. Le nazioni dove l’utilizzo degli attacchi con drone è maggiormente preoccupante sono lo Yemen, il Pakistan, l’Iraq, l’Afghanistan e la Siria. Il panel proposto discuterà le questioni attuali riguardanti le fonti e il reporting giornalistico sul tema, raccogliendo speaker provenienti da ambienti diversi, inclusi giornalisti investigativi, ricercatori e sostenitori del disarmo. Il panel discuterà le migliori pratiche e i case study per il monitoraggio degli attacchi con drone, come il lavoro svolto dal Bureau of Investigative Journalists; le problematiche riguardanti l’accesso alle informazioni e la trasparenza; il ruolo dei whistleblower e le implicazioni per l’Italia, in particolare per ciò che riguarda il coinvolgimento della base di Sigonella nei programmi di droni e il caso Lo Porto.
Drone strikes are among the most defining elements of contemporary warfare. Both when used in conventional war scenarios or for targeted killing programs, military armed drones are usually operated behind a veil of secrecy preventing citizens and journalists to access data and statistics about civilian deaths and strikes efficiency. The US are certainly the biggest players in the field, but the use of drones is expanding worldwide. Countries where drone strikes usage is more troubling are Yemen, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. The proposed panel will discuss current issues when it comes to journalistic sourcing and reporting on the matter by putting together speakers of different backgrounds, including investigative journalists, researchers and advocates. The panel will discuss best practices and case studies of monitoring drone strikes, such as the work of The Bureau of Investigative Journalists; the issues concerning access to information and transparency; the role of whistleblowers and the implication for Italy, in particular when it comes to the involvement of the Sigonella base in the drone programs and the Lo Porto case.

"In order to comprehend the beauty of a Japanese garden, it is necessary to understand - or at least to learn to understand - the beauty of stone." Lafcadio Hearn
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_dry_garden
The Japanese dry garden (枯山水, karesansui) or Japanese rock garden, often called a zen garden, is a distinctive style of Japanese garden. It creates a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks, water features, moss, pruned trees and bushes, and uses gravel or sand that is raked to represent ripples in water.[1] Zen gardens are commonly found at temples or monasteries. A zen garden is usually relatively small, surrounded by a wall or buildings, and is usually meant to be seen while seated from a single viewpoint outside the garden, such as the porch of the hojo, the residence of the chief monk of the temple or monastery. Many, with gravel rather than grass, are only stepped into for maintenance. Classical zen gardens were created at temples of Zen Buddhism in Kyoto during the Muromachi period. They were intended to imitate the essence of nature, not its actual appearance, and to serve as an aid for meditation.[2]
The mission of the Japanese Friendship Garden Society of San Diego (JFG) is to develop a traditional Japanese garden as a center to educate, engage, and inspire people of diverse backgrounds about Japanese culture and community legacy.
JFG is an accredited museum that offers a variety of educational programs, exhibits, and cultural festivals to enhance appreciation and understanding of Japanese culture. Over 330,000 visitors from the United States and internationally attend the garden annually. JFG opened to the public in 1991 and is an expression of friendship between San Diego and its sister city, Yokohama. The garden is inspired from centuries-old Japanese design and techniques that showcase JFG’s living exhibition comprised of plants and florae native to Japan and San Diego. The second phase opened in 1999 and was designed by renowned landscape architect Takeo Uesugi, which included the addition of the Exhibit Hall, Activity Center, and Upper Koi Pond. The third phase, completed in 2015, incorporated a 200 cherry tree grove, large azalea and camellia garden, a water feature reminiscent of the San Diego watershed, and the state of the art Inamori Pavilion. Today, JFG resides on 12 acres and fosters a relationship between humans and nature, providing a respite attuned to Japanese simplicity, serenity, and aestheticism.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Friendship_Garden_(Balboa_Park)
The Japanese Friendship Garden was built and continues to be maintained under the philosophy that, "a garden is always in a state of change but the basic elements of trees, shrubs, rocks and water designed in natural balance create a peaceful, harmonious, and transcendental environment conducive to contemplation and meditation."[2]

II. Ni Lazima Mtu Ashuhudie Kipengele cha Ukweli Kuhusu Hatua Tatu za Kazi ya Wokovu wa Mungu kwa Wanadamu
4. Ni jinsi gani hatua tatu za kazi ya Mungu kwa pole pole huongeza uketo ili watu waokolewe na kukamilishwa?
Maneno Husika ya Mungu:
Usimamizi mzima wa Mungu umegawika katika hatua tatu, na katika kila hatua, mahitaji yanayofaa yanatakiwa kutoka kwa mwanadamu. Aidha, kadri enzi zinavyopita na kuendelea, mahitaji ya Mungu kwa wanadamu wote huwa ya juu hata zaidi. Kwa hiyo, hatua kwa hatua, kazi hii ya usimamizi wa Mungu hufikia kilele chake, hadi mwanadamu aamini ukweli wa “kuonekana kwa Neno katika mwili,” na kwa njia hii mahitaji ya mwanadamu huwa ya juu hata zaidi, na mahitaji ya mwanadamu kutoa ushuhuda huwa ya juu hata zaidi. Kadiri mwanadamu alivyo na uwezo wa kushirikiana na Mungu kwa kweli, ndivyo anavyozidi kumtukuza Mungu. Ushirikiano wa mwanadamu ndio ushuhuda anaohitajika kuwa nao, na ushuhuda alio nao ndio matendo ya mwanadamu. Na kwa hivyo, kazi ya Mungu iweze au isiweze kuwa na matokeo yanayohitajika, na paweze ama pasiweze kuwa na ushuhuda wa kweli, ni mambo ambayo yameunganishwa yasiyochanganulika na ushirikiano na ushuhuda wa mwanadamu. Wakati kazi itakapokwisha, yaani, wakati usimamizi wote wa Mungu utakapofikia kikomo chake, mwanadamu atahitajika kuwa na ushuhuda wa hali ya juu, na wakati kazi ya Mungu itakapofika mwisho wake, matendo na kuingia kwa mwanadamu vitafikia upeo wake. Wakati wa kale, mwanadamu alihitajika kutii sheria na amri, na alihitajika kuwa mwenye subira na mnyenyekevu. Leo, mwanadamu anahitajika kutii mipango yote ya Mungu na awe na upendo mkuu wa Mungu, na hatimaye bado anahitajika kumpenda Mungu katika taabu. Hatua hizi tatu ndizo Mungu anazozitazamia kutoka kwa mwanadamu, hatua kwa hatua, katika usimamizi Wake wote. Kila hatua ya kazi ya Mungu huzidisha kina kuliko iliyopita, na katika kila hatua, mahitaji kwa mwanadamu ni makubwa kuliko yaliyopita, na kwa njia hii, usimamizi mzima wa Mungu huonekana. Ni hasa kwa sababu mahitaji ya mwanadamu kila mara huwa ya juu kiasi kwamba tabia yake kila mara inafikia viwango anavyovihitaji Mungu, na ni hapo tu ambapo wanadamu wote wanaanza kujiondoa polepole kutoka kwa ushawishi wa Shetani hadi, ambapo kazi ya Mungu itafikia kikomo kabisa, ndio wanadamu wote watakuwa wameokolewa kutoka kwa ushawishi wa Shetani.
kutoka katika “Kazi ya Mungu na Utendaji wa Mwanadamu” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili
Kazi ya usimamizi wa Mungu ilianza Alipoumba ulimwengu, na mwanadamu ni kiini cha kazi Yake. Uumbaji wa Mungu wa kila kitu, unaweza kusemwa, ni kwa ajili ya mwanadamu. Kwa sababu Kazi ya usimamizi Wake imesambaa katika maelfu ya miaka, na haijatekelezwa katika dakika na sekunde tu, ama kufumba na kufumbua, ama katika mwaka mmoja au miwili, ilimbidi Aumbe vitu vingine zaidi kwa ajili ya maisha ya mwanadamu, kama vile jua, mwezi, na aina zote za viumbe walio hai, na chakula na mazingira kwa ajili ya wanadamu. Huu ndio ulikuwa mwanzo wa usimamizi wa Mungu.
Baada ya hapo, Mungu Alimkabidhi mwanadamu kwa Shetani, mwanadamu aliishi chini ya miliki ya Shetani, na hili taratibu lilisababisha kazi ya Mungu ya enzi ya kwanza: hadithi ya Enzi ya Sheria…. Kipindi cha miaka elfu kadhaa za Enzi ya Sheria, wanadamu walikuwa wazoefu wa maelekezo ya Enzi ya Sheria, na wakaanza kupuuza, na taratibu wakaacha ulinzi wa Mungu. Na hivyo, pamoja na kushikilia sheria, walimwabudu Mungu na kutenda matendo maovu. Walikuwa bila ulinzi wa Yehova, na waliishi tu mbele ya madhabahu ndani ya hekalu. Kwa kweli, Kazi ya Mungu ilikuwa imejitenga nao kitambo sana, na hata kama Waisraeli walijikita katika sheria, na kulitaja jina la Yehova, na kwa majivuno kuamini kuwa wao pekee ndio walikuwa watu wa Yehova na walikuwa wamechaguliwa na Yehova, utukufu wa Mungu uliwaacha kimyakimya …
…………
Kama ilivyokuwa kawaida, baada ya kazi ya Yehova katika Enzi ya Sheria, Mungu Alianza kazi yake ya hatua ya pili: kwa kuutwaa mwili—kuwa na mwili kama binadamu kwa miaka kumi, ishirini—na kuongea na kufanya kazi Yake Kati ya waumini. Na bado bila mapendeleo, hakuna aliyejua, na ni idadi ndogo tu ya watu walitambua kuwa Alikuwa Mungu Aliyepata mwili baada ya Yesu Kristo kupigiliwa misumari msalabani na kufufuka. … Baada tu ya kazi ya Mungu katika hatua ya pili kukamilika—baada ya kusulubishwa—kazi ya Mungu ya kutoa mwanadamu kwenye dhambi (ambayo ni kusema, kumtoa mwanadamu mikononi mwa Shetani) ilitimilika. Na hivyo, kutoka wakati huo kuendelea mbele, wanadamu walipaswa tu kumpokea Yesu Kristo kama Mwokozi ili dhambi zao ziweze kusamehewa. Yaani, dhambi za wanadamu hazikuwa tena kizuizi cha kuufikia wokovu wake na kuja mbele za Mungu na hazikuwa tena nguvu za kushawishi ambazo Shetani alitumia kumlaumu mwanadamu. Hii ni kwa sababu Mungu Mwenyewe Alikuwa Amefanya kazi halisi, na kuwa katika mfano na limbuko la mwili wenye dhambi, na Mungu mwenyewe Alikuwa sadaka ya dhambi. Kwa njia hii, mwanadamu alishuka kutoka msalabani, akiwa amekombolewa na mwili wa Mungu, mfano wa huu mwili wa dhambi. Na hivyo, baada ya kushikwa mateka na Shetani, mwanadamu alikuja hatua moja mbele karibu na kukubali wokovu mbele za Mungu. Kwa hakika, huu ulingo wa kazi ndio ulikuwa usimamizi wa Mungu ambao ulikuwa hatua moja mbali na Enzi ya sheria, na wa kiwango cha ndani kuliko Enzi ya Sheria.
…………
Baadaye kukaja Enzi ya Ufalme, ambayo ni hatua ya utendaji zaidi na bado ni ngumu zaidi kukubalika na mwanadamu. Hii ni kwa sababu jinsi mwanadamu ajavyo karibu na Mungu, ndivyo afikapo karibu na kiboko cha Mungu, na ndivyo uso wa Mungu unavyokuwa wazi mbele ya mwanadamu. Kwa kufuatia kukombolewa kwa wanadamu, mwanadamu kirasmi anarejelea familia ya Mungu. Mwanadamu alifikiria kuwa huu ndio wakati wa kufurahia, bado ameegemezwa kwa shambulizi la Mungu na mifano ya yale ambayo bado hayajaonekana na yeyote: Inavyokuwa, huu ni ubatizo ambao watu wa Mungu wanapaswa “kuufurahia.” Katika muktadha huo, watu hawana lingine ila kuacha na kujifikiria wao wenyewe, Mimi ndimi mwanakondoo, aliyepotea kwa miaka mingi, ambaye Mungu Amegharamika kumnunua, sasa kwa nini Mungu Ananitendea hivi? Ama ni njia ya Mungu kunicheka, na kunifichua? ... Baada ya miaka mingi kupita, mwanadamu amedhoofika, kwa kuupitia ugumu wa usafishaji na kuadibu. Ijapokuwa mwanadamu amepoteza “utukufu” na “mapenzi” ya wakati uliopita, bila ya kufahamu amekuja kuelewa ukweli wa kuwa mwanadamu, na amekuja kutambua kazi ya Mungu ya kujitolea kuokoa wanadamu. Taratibu mwanadamu anaanza kuchukia ushenzi wake mwenyewe. Anaanza kuchukia jinsi alivyo mkali, na lawama kuelekea kwa Mungu, na mahitaji yote yasiyokuwa na mwelekeo aliyodai kutoka Kwake. Wakati hauwezi ukarudishwa nyuma, matendo ya zamani huwa ya kujuta katika kumbukumbu za mwanadamu, na maneno na upendo wa Mungu vinakuwa ndivyo vinavyomwendesha mwanadamu katika maisha Yake mapya. Majeraha ya mwanadamu hupona siku baada ya siku, nguvu humrudia, na akasimama na kutazamia uso Wake mwenye Uweza … ndipo anagundua kuwa daima Ameishi kando yangu, na kwamba tabasamu Lake na sura Yake ya kupendeza bado zinasisimua. Moyo Wake bado unawajali wanadamu Aliowaumba, na mikono Yake bado ina joto na nguvu kama ilivyokuwa hapo mwanzoni. Ni kama mwanadamu alirudi kwenye bustani ya Edeni, lakini wakati huu mwanadamu hasikizi ushawishi wa nyoka, na hatazami kando na uso wa Yehova. Mwanadamu anapiga magoti mbele ya Mungu, na kutazama uso Wake wenye tabasamu, na kumtolea Mungu kafara yenye thamani—Ee! Bwana wangu, Mungu wangu!
kutoka katika “Mwanadamu Anaweza Kuokolewa Katikati ya Usimamizi wa Mungu Pekee” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili
Kazi iliyofanywa na Yesu ilikuwa tu hatua moja juu zaidi ya Agano la Kale; ilitumiwa kuianza enzi, na kuiongoza enzi hiyo. Kwa nini Alisema, “Sikuja kuharibu sheria, bali kuitimiza”? Lakini katika kazi Yake kulikuwa na mengi ambayo yalitofautiana na sheria zilizotumika na amri zilizofuatwa na Waisraeli wa Agano la Kale, kwani Hakuja kuitii sheria, bali kuitimiza. Mchakato wa kuitimiza ulikuwa pamoja na mambo mengi halisi: Kazi Yake ilikuwa ya vitendo zaidi na halisi, na, zaidi ya hayo, ilikuwa hai, na sio tu kufuata mafundisho ya dini bila ufahamu. Je, Waisraeli hawakuitii Sabato? Yesu alipokuja Hakuitii Sabato, kwani Alisema kwamba Mwana wa Adamu alikuwa Bwana wa Sabato, na wakati ambapo Bwana wa Sabato alikuja, Angefanya Alivyopenda. Alikuwa Amekuja kutimiza sheria za Agano la Kale na kuzibadilisha sheria. Yote ambayo hufanywa leo ni kwa msingi wa siku hizi, lakini bado yako juu ya msingi wa kazi ya Bwana katika Enzi ya Sheria, na hayavuki mipaka ya eneo hili. Kuulinda ndimi zenu, na kutozini, kwa mfano—Je, hizi si sheria za Agano la Kale? Leo, kile kinachotakikana kwenu sio chenye upeo wa amri kumi tu, lakini ni kuwa na amri na sheria ambazo zina ukuu kuliko hizo zilizokuja hapo awali, ila hii haina maana kuwa kile kilichokuja hapo awali kimeondolewa, kwa kuwa kila awamu ya kazi ya Mungu hufanywa juu ya msingi wa awamu ambayo ilikuja hapo awali. Na kuhusu kile ambacho Yehova aliwasilisha kwa Israeli, kama vile kuwahitaji watu kutoa sadaka, kuwaheshimu wazazi wao, kutoabudu sanamu, kutowadhulumu au kutukana wengine, kutozini, kutovuta sigara au kutokunywa pombe, na kutokula nyamafu au kunywa damu, je, huo si muundo msingi wa utendaji wenu hata leo? Kazi iliyotekelezwa hadi leo iko juu ya msingi wa mambo ya zamani. Ingawa sheria za zamani hazitajwi tena, nawe umewekewa madai mapya, sheria hizi mbali na kufutwa, badala yake, zimeinuliwa katika hadhi ya juu zaidi. Kusema kwamba zimefutwa kuna maana kwamba enzi ya awali imepitwa na wakati, wakati kuna amri zingine ambazo lazima uzitii milele yote. Amri za zamani tayari zimetiwa katika vitendo, tayari zimekuwa nafsi ya mwanadamu, na hakuna haja ya kurudia kusema amri za kutovuta sigara, kutokunywa pombe, na kadhalika. Juu ya msingi huu, amri mpya zimeagizwa kufuatana na mahitaji yenu leo, kufuatana na kimo chenu, na kufuatana na kazi ya leo. Kutangaza amri kwa ajili ya enzi mpya hakumaanishi kufuta amri za enzi ya kale, bali kuziinua juu zaidi ya msingi huu, kuyafanya matendo ya mwanadamu kuwa kamili zaidi, na kufuatana na uhalisi zaidi. Kama, leo, mngetakiwa tu kufuata amri na kutii sheria za Agano la Kale, kwa namna sawa na wana wa Israeli, na kama, hata, nyinyi mlitakiwa mkariri sheria ambazo ziliwekwa na Bwana, hakungekuwa na uwezekano kwamba mngeweza kubadilika. Kama mngekuwa tu mnatakiwa kutii zile amri chache zilizo na mipaka ama kukariri sheria zisizohesabika, asili zenu za zamani zingebaki zimekita mizizi, na hakungekuwa na mbinu ya kuzing’oa. Hivyo mngeendelea kuzidi kupotoshwa, na hakuna hata mmoja wenu angeweza kuwa mtiifu. Ambayo ni kusema kwamba amri chache rahisi au sheria zisizohesabika hazina uwezo wa kuwasaidia kujua matendo ya Yehova. Nyinyi si sawa na wana wa Israeli: kwa kufuata sheria na kukariri amri waliweza kushuhudia matendo ya Yehova, na kumpa Yeye pekee ibada yao, lakini hamwezi kufanikisha hili, na amri chache za Agano la Kale haziwezi tu kuwafanya nyinyi kupeana mioyo yenu, au kuwalinda, lakini badala yake itawafanya muwe wazembe, na kuwateremsha mpaka Kuzimu. Kwa sababu kazi Yangu ni kazi ya ushindi, na inalenga uasi wenu na asili yenu ya zamani. Maneno yenye huruma ya Yehova na Yesu yanapungukiwa mno na maneno makali ya hukumu leo. Bila maneno makali kama haya, ingekuwa vigumu kuwashinda ninyi “wataalam,” ambao mmekua wasiotii kwa miaka elfu nyingi. Sheria za Agano la Kale zilipoteza nguvu zake kwenu kwa muda mrefu uliopita, na hukumu ya leo ni ya kuogofya mno kuliko sheria za zamani. Ya kuwafaa nyinyi zaidi ni hukumu, na wala si vikwazo duni vya sheria, kwa kuwa ninyi si wanadamu wa mwanzo kabisa, lakini wanadamu ambao wamekuwa fisadi kwa miaka elfu nyingi. Kile ambacho mwanadamu lazima atimize sasa ni kulingana na hali halisi ya mwanadamu leo, kulingana na tabia bora na kimo halisi cha mwanadamu wa siku hizi, na hakihitaji kwamba wewe ufuate mafundisho ya dini. Hii ni kwa minajili ya mabadiliko yaweze kupatikana katika asili zako za zamani, na ili uweze kutupa kando dhana zako.
kutoka katika “Maono ya Kazi ya Mungu (1)” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili
Ingawa njia ambayo mwanadamu hutembea leo pia ni njia ya msalaba na ya kuteseka, kile ambacho mwanadamu wa leo hutenda, hula, hunywa na hufurahia ni tofauti zaidi na yale ya mwanadamu aliyekuwa chini ya sheria na katika Enzi ya Neema. Kinachohitajika kutoka kwa mwanadamu wakati huu sio kama ilivyokuwa kitambo na zaidi sio kama kilichohitajika kutoka kwake katika Enzi ya Sheria. Na ni kipi kilichoulizwa kwa mwanadamu chini ya Sheria kazi ilipofanya Israeli? Hawakuulizwa chochote zaidi ya kuiheshimu Sabato na Sheria za Yehova. Lakini si hivyo katika wakati huu. Siku ya Sabato, mwanadamu anafanya kazi, hukusanyika na kuomba kama kawaida, na hakuna vizuizi vinavyowekwa. Wale katika Enzi ya Neema ilibidi wabatizwe, na pia zaidi walitarajiwa kufunga, kuvunja mkate, kunywa divai, kufunika vichwa vyao na kuwaoshea wengine miguu yao. Sasa, sheria hizi zimefutwa na mahitaji makuu yanaulizwa kutoka kwa mwanadamu, kwani kazi ya Mungu inaendelea kuimarika na kuingia kwa mwanadamu kunafika kiwango cha juu. Zamani, Yesu Aliweka mikono Yake juu ya mwanadamu na kuomba, lakini sasa kwamba kila kitu kimesemwa, kuwekelea mikono kuna maana gani? Maneno pekee yanaweza kupata matokeo. Alipowekelea mikono Yake juu ya mwanadamu hapo awali, ilikuwa ni kwa ajili ya kumbariki na kumponya mwanadamu. Hivyo ndivyo Roho Mtakatifu Alivyofanya kazi wakati huo, lakini sio hivyo wakati huu. Wakati huu, Roho Mtakatifu Anatumia maneno katika kazi Yake ili kupata matokeo. Ameyafanya maneno Yake wazi kwenu, na mnapaswa tu kuyaweka katika matendo. Maneno Yake ni mapenzi Yake na yanaonyesha kazi Atakayofanya. Kupitia kwa maneno Yake, utaweza kuelewa mapenzi Yake na yale ambayo Anauliza upate. Unayaweka tu maneno Yake katika matendo moja kwa moja bila haja ya kuwekelea mikono. Wengine wanaweza kusema, “Wekelea mikono Yako juu yangu! Wekelea mikono yako juu yangu ili niweze kupokea baraka zako na kushiriki kwako.” Haya yote ni mazoezi yaliyopitwa na wakati na ambayo yanakataliwa katika wakati huu, kwani enzi zimebadilika. Roho Mtakatifu Anafanya kazi kulingana na enzi, sio tu katika mapenzi Yake ama kulingana na masharti. Enzi zimebadilika, na enzi mpya lazima ilete kazi mpya. Huu ni ukweli wa kila hatua ya kazi, na hivyo kazi Yake haiwezi kurudiwa. Katika Enzi ya Neema, Yesu Alifanya nyingi ya kazi hiyo, kama kuponya magonjwa, kukemea mapepo, kuwekelea mikono Yake juu ya wanadamu, na kumbariki mwanadamu. Hata hivyo, kuendelea kufanya hivyo hakutasaidia chochote katika wakati huu. Roho Mtakatifu Alifanya kazi hivyo katika huo wakati, kwani ilikuwa Enzi ya Neema, na mwanadamu alipewa neema ya kutosha ili afurahie. Mwanadamu hakuhitajika kulipa gharama yoyote na angepokea neema mradi tu angekuwa na imani. Kila mtu alitendewa kwa neema kubwa. Sasa, enzi imebadilika, na kazi ya Mungu imeendelea zaidi; kupitia kuadibu na hukumu Yake, uasi wa mwanadamu na vitu vichafu katika mwanadamu vitatupiliwa mbali. Jinsi ilivyokuwa hatua ya wokovu, ilimbidi Mungu kufanya kazi hiyo, Akimwonyesha mwanadamu neema ya kutosha ili mwanadamu afurahie, ili Amkomboe mwanadamu kutoka kwa dhambi, na kwa neema amsamehe mwanadamu dhambi zake. Hatua hii ya sasa ni ya kufichua udhalimu ulio ndani ya mwanadamu kwa njia ya kuadibu, hukumu, kupigwa na maneno, na vile vile nidhamu na ufunuo wa maneno, ili baadaye binadamu waweze kuokolewa. Hii ni kazi ya undani zaidi kuliko ukombozi. Katika Enzi ya Neema, mwanadamu alifurahia neema ya kutosha na amezoea neema hii, kwa hivyo sio ya kufurahiwa na mwanadamu tena. Kazi kama hii imepitwa na wakati sasa na haitafanyika tena. Sasa, mwanadamu anaokolewa kupitia hukumu ya neno. Baada ya mwanadamu kuhukumiwa, kuadibiwa na kusafishwa, tabia yake basi inabadilika. Je sio kwa sababu ya maneno ambayo Nimenena? Kila hatua ya kazi inafanywa kulingana na maendeleo ya binadamu wote na kwa enzi. Kazi yote ina umuhimu wake; inafanywa kwa ajili ya wokovu wa mwisho, ili binadamu awe na hatima nzuri baadaye, na kwa mwanadamu kugawanywa kulingana na aina Yake mwishowe.
kutoka katika “Fumbo la Kupata Mwili (4)” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili
Wakati wa Enzi ya Sheria, Yehova Alimwongoza Musa kutoka Misri kwa maneno Yake, na Akazungumza maneno fulani kwa Wanaisraeli; wakati huo, sehemu ya matendo ya Mungu yaliwekwa wazi, lakini kwa sababu ubora wa tabia ya mwanadamu ulikuwa finyu na hakuna kitu chochote ambacho kingeweza kufanya maarifa yake kukamilika, Mungu Aliendelea kuzungumza na kufanya kazi. Wakati wa Enzi ya Neema, mwanadamu aliweza kuona tena sehemu ya matendo ya Mungu. Yesu Aliweza kuonyesha ishara na maajabu, kuponya wagonjwa na kutoa mapepo, na kusulubishwa, siku tatu baadaye. Akafufuka na Akawatokea watu Akiwa katika mwili. Kumhusu Mungu, mwanadamu hakujua chochote zaidi ya hiki. Mwanadamu anajua tu kile ambacho Mungu Amemwonyesha, na kama Mungu Asingeonyesha chochote zaidi kwa mwanadamu, basi hicho kingekuwa kiwango cha mwanadamu kumwekea mipaka Mungu. Hivyo, Mungu Anaendelea kufanya kazi, ili maarifa ya mwanadamu juu Yake yaweze kuwa ya kina zaidi, na ili taratibu aweze kuijua hulka ya Mungu. Katika siku za mwisho, Mungu anatumia maneno yake kumkamilisha mwanadamu. Tabia yako iliyoharibika imewekwa wazi kwa maneno ya Mungu, na dhana zako za kidini zinaondolewa na uhalisia wa Mungu. Mungu katika mwili wa siku za mwisho Amekuja hasa kwa ajili ya kutimiza maneno haya kwamba “Neno Lafanyika kuwa mwili, Neno Lakuwa mwili, na Neno Laonekana katika mwili,” na kama huna maarifa ya kina kuhusu hili, basi hutaweza kusimama imara. Wakati wa siku za mwisho, kimsingi Mungu Anakusudia kukamilisha hatua ya kazi ambayo kwayo Neno Anaonekana katika mwili, na hii ni sehemu moja ya mpango wa usimamizi wa Mungu. Hivyo, maarifa yenu yanapaswa kuwa wazi; bila kujali namna ambavyo Mungu Anafanya kazi, Mungu Hamruhusu mwanadamu kumwekea mipaka. Ikiwa Mungu Asingefanya kazi hii wakati wa siku za mwisho, basi maarifa ya mwanadamu juu Yake yasingeweza kwenda popote. Ungeweza kujua tu kwamba Mungu Anaweza kusulubiwa na Anaweza kuiangamiza Sodoma, na kwamba Yesu Anaweza kufufuliwa kutoka katika wafu na kumtokea Petro.... Lakini usingeweza kusema kwamba maneno ya Mungu yanaweza kutimiza yote, na yanaweza kumshinda mwanadamu. Ni kwa njia tu ya kupitia uzoefu wa maneno ya Mungu ndipo unaweza kuzungumza juu ya maarifa hayo, na kadri unapopitia uzoefu wa kazi ya Mungu zaidi, ndivyo maarifa yako yanavyokuwa ya kina zaidi kumhusu Yeye. Ni baada ya hapo tu ndipo utaacha kumwekea Mungu mipaka ndani ya dhana zako binafsi.
kutoka katika “Kuijua Kazi ya Mungu Leo” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili
Katika kazi ya siku za mwisho, neno ni kubwa zaidi ya udhihirisho wa ishara na maajabu, na mamlaka ya neno yanashinda yale ya ishara na maajabu. Neno linaweka wazi tabia zote potovu katika moyo wa mwanadamu. Huwezi kutambua binafsi wewe mwenyewe. Yatakapofunuliwa kwako kupitia kwa neno, utakuja kujua mwenyewe; hutaweza kuyakataa, na utashawishika kikamilifu. Je haya si mamlaka ya neno? Haya ndiyo matokeo yanayopatikana kwa kazi ya wakati huu ya neno. Kwa hivyo, mwanadamu hawezi kuokolewa kikamilifu kutoka kwa dhambi zake kwa kuponya magonjwa na kukemea mapepo na hawezi kufanywa mkamilifu kabisa kwa udhihirisho wa ishara na maajabu. Mamlaka ya kuponya na kukemea mapepo yanapatia mwanadamu neema tu, lakini mwili wa mwanadamu bado ni wa Shetani na tabia potovu za kishetani zitabaki ndani ya mwanadamu. Kwa maneno mengine, yale ambayo hayajatakaswa bado ni ya dhambi na uchafu. Ni baada tu ya mwanadamu kufanywa safi kupitia kwa maneno ndipo atakapotwaliwa na Mungu na kutakaswa. Wakati mapepo yalikemewa kutoka kwa mwanadamu na alikombolewa, hii ilimaanisha tu kwamba alipokonywa kutoka kwa mikono ya Shetani na kurudishwa kwa Mungu. Hata hivyo, hajafanywa msafi ama kubadilishwa na Mungu, anabaki mpotovu. Ndani ya mwanadamu bado kuna uchafu, pingamizi na uasi; mwanadamu amerudi tu kwa Mungu kupitia kwa ukombozi, lakini mwanadamu hana maarifa kumhusu na bado anamkataa na kumsaliti Mungu. Kabla ya mwanadamu kukombolewa, sumu nyingi ya Shetani ilikuwa imepandwa ndani yake tayari. Baada ya miaka mingi ya upotovu wa Shetani, mwanadamu tayari ana asili ndani yake inayompinga Mungu. Hivyo, mwanadamu atakapokombolewa, hakitakuwa kitu kingine ila ni ukombozi, ambapo mwanadamu ananunuliwa kwa gharama kuu, lakini asili ya sumu ndani yake haijaondolewa. Mwanadamu ambaye amechafuliwa lazima apitie mabadiliko kabla ya kuwa wa kustahili kumtumikia Mungu. Kupitia kazi hii ya kuadibu na hukumu, mwanadamu atakuja kujua hali yake kamili ya uchafu na upotovu ndani Yake, na ataweza kubadilika kabisa na kuwa msafi. Ni hivi tu ndivyo mwanadamu ataweza kustahili kurudi katika kiti cha enzi cha Mungu. Kazi yote ifanywayo siku hii ya leo ni ili mwanadamu afanywe msafi na kubadilika; kupitia hukumu na kuadibiwa na neno, na pia kutakaswa, mwanadamu anaweza kuutupa nje upotovu wake na kufanywa safi. Badala ya kuichukua hatua hii ya kazi kuwa ile ya wokovu, itafaa zaidi kusema kuwa ni kazi ya utakaso. Kwa kweli hatua hii ni ile ya ushindi na pia hatua ya pili ya wokovu. Mwanadamu anatwaliwa na Mungu kupitia hukumu na kuadibu na neno; kwa kutumia neno kusafisha, hukumu na kufichua, uchafu wote, fikira, nia, na matumaini ya mtu mwenyewe katika moyo wa mwanadamu zinafuliwa. Ingawa mwanadamu amekombolewa na kusamehewa dhambi zake, inachukuliwa kuwa Mungu hakumbuki makosa ya mwanadamu na kutomtendea mwanadamu kulingana na makosa yake. Hata hivyo, mwanadamu anapoishi katika mwili na hajaachiliwa huru kutoka kwa dhambi, ataendelea tu kutenda dhambi, akiendelea kufunua tabia yake potovu ya kishetani. Haya ndiyo maisha ambayo mwanadamu anaishi, mzunguko usiokoma wa dhambi na msamaha. Wengi wa wanadamu wanatenda dhambi mchana kisha wanakiri jioni. Hivyo, hata kama sadaka ya dhambi ni ya manufaa kwa binadamu milele, haitaweza kumwokoa mwanadamu kutoka kwenye dhambi. Ni nusu tu ya kazi ya wokovu ndiyo imemalizika, kwani mwanadamu bado yuko na tabia potovu. Kwa mfano, wakati ambapo watu walijua kwamba walitoka kwa Moabu, walitoa maneno ya malalamiko, hawakutafuta tena uzima, na wakawa baridi kabisa. Je, hili halionyeshi kwamba bado hawawezi kutii kwa ukamilifu kutawaliwa na Mungu? Je, hii siyo tabia ya kishetani ya upotovu kabisa? Ulipokuwa hupitii kuadibu, mikono yako iliinuliwa juu zaidi ya wengine wote, hata ile ya Yesu. Na ulilia kwa sauti kubwa: Kuwa mwana mpendwa wa Mungu! Kuwa mwandani wa Mungu! Ni heri tufe kuliko kumtii Shetani! Muasi Shetani wa zamani! Liasi joka kuu jekundu! Acha joka kuu jekundu lianguke kabisa kutoka mamlakani! Acha Mungu atufanye kamili! Vilio vyako vilikuwa vikubwa zaidi ya wengine. Lakini kisha zikaja nyakati za kuadibu na, mara tena, tabia ya upotovu ya watu ilifichuliwa. Kisha, vilio vyao vikakoma, na hawakuwa tena na azimio. Huu ni upotovu wa mwanadamu; unaingia ndani zaidi kuliko dhambi, ulipandwa na Shetani na umekita mizizi ndani zaidi ya mwanadamu. Sio rahisi kwa mwanadamu kuzifahamu dhambi zake; mwanadamu hawezi kufahamu asili yake iliyokita mizizi. Ni kupitia tu katika hukumu na neno ndipo mabadiliko haya yatatokea. Hapo tu ndipo mwanadamu ataendelea kubadilika kutoka hatua hiyo kuendelea. Mwanadamu alipiga kelele hivyo wakati uliopita kwa sababu mwanadamu hakuwa na ufahamu wa tabia yake potovu ya asili. Huo ndio uchafu ulio ndani ya mwanadamu. Kotekote katika kipindi kirefu hivyo cha hukumu na kuadibu, mwanadamu aliishi katika mazingira ya mvutano. Je, haya yote hayakutimizwa kupitia kwa neno? Wewe pia hukulia kwa sauti ya juu kabla ya majaribio ya[a] watendaji huduma? Ingia katika ufalme! Wale wote ambao wanalikubali jina hili wataingia katika ufalme! Wote watashiriki Mungu! Wakati ambapo majaribio ya watendaji huduma yalikuja, hukulia tena. Mwanzoni, wote walilia, “Mungu! Popote Uniwekapo, nitatii kuongozwa na Wewe.” Baada ya kusoma maneno ya Mungu, “Nani atakuwa Paulo Wangu?” mwanadamu alisema, “Niko radhi!” Kisha akayaona maneno, “Na kuhusu imani ya Ayubu?” Kwa hiyo akasema, “Niko radhi kuichukua imani ya Ayubu. Mungu, tafadhali nijaribu!” Majaribio ya watendaji huduma yalipokuja, alizirai mara moja na nusura angekosa kusimama tena. Baada ya hilo, uchafu ndani ya moyo wa mwanadamu ulipungua polepole. Je, hili halikutimizwa kupitia kwa neno? Kwa hiyo, kile ambacho mmepitia wakati wa sasa ni matokeo ambayo hutimizwa kupitia kwa neno, hata makuu zaidi ya yale ambayo hutimizwa kupitia kwa Yesu kufanya ishara na maajabu. Utukufu wa Mungu na mamlaka ya Mungu Mwenyewe ambayo ninyi huona hayaonekani tu kupitia kwa usulubishaji, uponyaji wa magonjwa na ufukuzaji wa pepo, lakini zaidi kupitia kwa hukumu Yake kwa neno. Hili hukuonyesha wewe kwamba sio tu ufanyaji wa ishara, uponyaji wa magonjwa na ufukuzaji wa pepo ndiyo mamlaka na nguvu za Mungu, bali hukumu kwa neno unaweza kuwakilisha bora mamlaka ya Mungu na kufichua uweza Wake.
kutoka katika “Fumbo la Kupata Mwili (4)” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili
Katika kazi ya wokovu wa mwanadamu, hatua tatu zimefanywa, ambayo ni kusema kuwa vita na Shetani vimegawanyika katika hatua tatu kabla ya kushindwa kabisa kwa Shetani. Na bado ukweli wa ndani wa kazi yote ya vita dhidi ya Shetani ni kwamba matokeo yake yanatimizwa kupitia kumpa mwanadamu neema, na kuwa sadaka ya dhambi ya mwanadamu, kuzisamehe dhambi za mwanadamu, kumshinda mwanadamu, na kumfanya mwanadamu akamilishwe. Kusema ukweli, vita na Shetani hajiandai kupigana na Shetani, bali ni wokovu wa mwanadamu, kuyashughulikia maisha ya mwanadamu, na kubadilishwa kwa tabia ya mwanadamu ili kwamba aweze kumshuhudia Mungu. Hivi ndivyo Shetani anashindwa. Shetani anashindwa kwa kubadilisha tabia potovu ya mwanadamu. Wakati Shetani ameshindwa, yaani, wakati mwanadamu ameokolewa kabisa, basi Shetani aliyeaibika atafungwa kabisa, na kwa njia hii, mwanadamu atakuwa ameokolewa kabisa. Na kwa hivyo, kiini cha wokovu wa mwanadamu ni vita dhidi ya Shetani, na vita na Shetani vitajitokeza kimsingi katika wokovu wa mwanadamu. Hatua ya siku za mwisho, ambapo mwanadamu atashindwa, ni hatua ya mwisho katika vita dhidi ya Shetani, na pia kazi ya wokovu kamili wa mwanadamu kutoka kwa miliki ya Shetani. Maana ya ndani ya ushindi wa mwanadamu ni kurudi kwa mfano halisi wa Shetani, mtu ambaye amepotoshwa na Shetani, kwa Muumba baada ya ushindi wake, kwa njia ambayo atamwacha Shetani na kurejea kabisa kwa Mungu. Kwa njia hii, mwanadamu atakuwa ameokolewa kabisa. Na kwa hivyo, kazi ya ushindi ni kazi ya mwisho katika vita dhidi ya Shetani, na hatua ya mwisho katika kazi ya Mungu ya usimamizi kwa ajili ya kushindwa kwa Shetani. Bila kazi hii, wokovu kamili wa mwanadamu hatimaye haungewezekana, kushindwa kikamilifu kwa Shetani kusingewezekana, na wanadamu kamwe hawangekuwa na uwezo wa kuingia kwenye hatima ya ajabu, ama kuwa huru kutoka kwa ushawishi wa Shetani. Kwa hivyo, kazi ya wokovu wa mwanadamu haiwezi kukamilishwa kabla vita dhidi ya Shetani havijahitimishwa, kwa kuwa msingi wa kazi ya Mungu ya usimamizi ni kwa ajili ya wokovu wa mwanadamu. Mwanadamu wa kwanza kabisa alikuwa kwa mikono ya Mungu, lakini kwa sababu ya majaribu ya Shetani na upotovu wake, mwanadamu alifungwa na Shetani na kuanguka katika mikono ya yule mwovu. Kwa hivyo, Shetani akakuwa mlengwa wa kushindwa katika kazi ya Mungu ya usimamizi. Kwa sababu Shetani alichukua umiliki wa mwanadamu, na kwa sababu mwanadamu ndiye kiini cha usimamizi wote wa Mungu, kama mwanadamu ni wa kuokolewa, basi ni lazima anyakuliwe kutoka mikononi mwa Shetani, yaani mwanadamu ni lazima achukuliwe baada ya kutekwa nyara na Shetani. Shetani anashindwa kupitia mabadiliko ya tabia ya mwanadamu ya zamani ambayo hurejesha hisia zake za awali, na kwa njia hii, mwanadamu, ambaye ametekwa nyara, anaweza kunyakuliwa kutoka mikononi mwa Shetani. Kama mwanadamu anawekwa huru kutokana na ushawishi wa Shetani na utumwa wake, Shetani ataaibika, mwanadamu hatimaye atarejeshwa, na Shetani atakuwa ameshindwa. Na kwa sababu mwanadamu amewekwa huru kutoka kwa ushawishi wa giza wa Shetani, mwanadamu atakuwa mabaki ya vita hivi vyote, na Shetani atakuwa ndiye mlengwa ambaye ataadhibiwa punde tu vita hivi vitakapokamilika, na baada ya hapo kazi nzima ya wokovu wa mwanadamu itakuwa imekamilika.
