Zonke ke ezo zinto zikukuqaleka kwenimba (UMateyu 24:6-8)

Iinyikima, indlala, neendyikitya zokufa
Ngoku, makhe sijonge iindyikitya zokufa. KuBukhosi baseRoma, iindyikitya zokufa zazisele zikhona. Phakathi kwe 14th kwinkulungwane kunye ne 19th kwinkulungwane, abantu abaninzi bathwaxwa ziindyikitya zokufa eYurophu.
