• Linegunya, amandla netrone, nto ezo ezibonisa ukuba yinkqubo yezopolitiko.​—ISityhilelo 13:2.

• Lilawula “phezu kwezizwe nabantu neelwimi neentlanga zonke,” ngenxa yoko likhulu kunorhulumente welizwe nje elinye.​—ISityhilelo 13:7.

• Lineempawu ezifana nezo zamarhamncwa amane achazwe kuDaniyeli 7:2-8, njengehlosi, iinyawo ezinjengezebhere, umlomo onjengowengonyama neempondo ezilishumi. Amarhamncwa akwisiprofeto sikaDaniyeli achazwa njengookumkani abathile okanye iinkokeli zezopolitiko, ezilawula ngokulandelelana. (Daniyeli 7:17, 23) Ngenxa yoko, irhamncwa elikwiSityhilelo isahluko 13 lifanekisela inkqubo yezopolitiko elawula ehlabathini lonke.

• IBhayibhile ithi inani, okanye igama leli rhamncwa​—666​—“linani lomntu.” (ISityhilelo 13:17, 18) La mazwi abonisa ukuba irhamncwa leSityhilelo isahluko 13 lifuzisela umntu, kungekhona umoya okanye idemon.

‘Iimpondo ezilishumi neentloko ezisixhenxe’

EBhayibhileni amanani athile ayafuzisela. Ngokomzekelo, ishumi nesixhenxe zifuzisela ukuphelela kwento. Into esinceda sikwazi oko kuthethwa ‘ziimpondo ezilishumi neentloko ezisixhenxe’ zerhamncwa leSityhilelo isahluko 13, ‘ngumfanekiso werhamncwa’ ochazwa kamva kwiSityhilelo​—irhamncwa elibomvu elineentloko ezisixhenxe neempondo ezilishumi. (ISityhilelo 13:1, 14, 15; 17:3) IBhayibhile ithi, iintloko ezisixhenxe zeli rhamncwa libomvu zithetha “ookumkani abasixhenxe,” okanye oorhulumente.​—ISityhilelo 17:9, 10.

Ngokufanayo, iintloko ezisixhenxe zerhamncwa elikwiSityhilelo 13:1 zifuzisela oorhulumente abasixhenxe: amagunya ezopolitiko ebelawula ukutyhubela imbali naye akhokela ekucinezeleni abantu bakaThixo—iYiputa, iAsiriya, iBhabhiloni, amaMedi namaPersi, iGrisi, iRoma kunye namaNgesi namaMerika. Ukuba sithi iimpondo ezilishumi zifuzisela onke amazwe azimeleyo, amancinane namakhulu, ngoko ke isithsaba esikwiphondo ngalinye sibonisa ukuba igunya ngalinye lilawula ngaxeshanye negunya lezopolitiko elilawulayo ngelo xesha.
