Eli nqaku libhekiswa kumhambi endihamba naye kunye nomfuni wenyaniso. Luhambo apho uninzi luzele ziindlela ezijikajikayo kunye neendlela ezijikayo. Kodwa inyaniso iya kufunyanwa ngabo bayinqwenela ngomphefumlo wabo uphela, bengakhathazwa ngamanyathelo angaphambili okanye badanyazwe yimigibe esiwela kuyo ngokukhawuleza. Ehlabathini, kukho i-cacophony yamazwi aphikisanayo athi bonke bavakalisa inyaniso. Ngubani esinokumthemba? Leliphi ilizwi elona lizwi lithembekileyo leNyaniso emhlabeni?

Kungaphaya kwemida yeli nqaku ukubonisa ubungqina bobukho bukaThixo okanye ukukhokelela umntu kuyo nayiphi na inkonzo yehlabathi ukuba akholelwe kuYesu Kristu. Oku kuye kwenziwa ngaphambili, yaye ukuba unamathandabuzo ngayo nayiphi na kwezi, bendiya kukukhuthaza ukuba ufunde incwadi yendlela enye indoda eyayiphanda ngokucokisekileyo neyayikhokelela ekubeni isuke kwinkqubo yayo engeyoyabuKristu eIndiya ikholelwe kuYesu, ngokuqwalasela nje ubungqina obuxhasa nobunxamnye nayo yonke imbono yehlabathi yonqulo.^[1] Umbhali ushwankathela ukhangelo lwakhe kwisemina ekhoyo nakuYouTube.^[2]

Kodwa phakathi kobuKristu, amazwi abanga ukuba anenyaniso anqabile. Uphi umbhalo wesandla sikaThixo, yaye luluphi uhlobo lwenyaniso yobuKristu ayishiyayo iminwe Yakhe? Kufuneka kubekho ubungqina obubambekayo obusalathisa kwicala elifanelekileyo, kanye njengokuba kukho ukusalathisa kubuKristu. Baninzi abathe thaca ubungqina obukhomba kwimfundiso yeSeventh-day Adventist njengeyona isondeleleneyo nengcaciso yeBhayibhile evakalayo,^[3] kwaye aziyi kuphinda ziphindwe apha. Nangona kunjalo, ndingathanda ukubandakanya isishwankathelo esivela kumhlohli wefiziksi eIndiya owathi, njengombhali osele eqatshelwe ngaphambili, walandela umkhondo wobungqina kwaye wafika kwisiphumo esifanayo.^[4]

Njengoko ndandiqhubeka nokukhangela inyaniso ndiye ndabona ukuba isimbuku seCawa yamaSabatha samaSabatha asiyonto imfutshane kwinzululwazi—iyangqinelana, icwangcisiwe kwaye ilungelelanisiwe. U-Ellen G. White uyibiza ngokuba yinzululwazi yosindiso. Kukho izizathu ezine ezifanelekileyo zokuba kutheni iyinzululwazi.

1. Kukho ingqiqo yethiyori. Kwiithiyori zenzululwazi, kufuneka kubekho ulwakhiwo lwengqiqo. Kwibali lembambano enkulu phakathi koThixo noSathana kukho ulwakhiwo lwengqiqo. Yingqiqo yothando. Uthando olunyulu nolugqibeleleyo lusebenza ngokwengqiqo yalo. Ingxaki ngabantu abaninzi kukuba abayiqondi kakuhle le ngqiqo, baze bacinge ukuba akukho ngqiqweni. Kodwa i-logic ikhona kakhulu, kwaye yeyona logic intle kakhulu, ukuba inye kuphela onokuyibamba.

2. Kukho ubungqina bokulinga. Iithiyori zenzululwazi kufuneka zivavanyelwe ubunyani bazo kwiilabhoratri. Ibali leNgqungquthela Enkulu livavanywa ubunyaniso balo kwimbali yoluntu. Oko kukuthi, umhlaba yilabhoratri. Imbali yoluntu luvavanyo olukhulu oluqhutywayo lokugqiba malunga nokulungileyo nokubi. Abantu abaninzi bayakhohliswa ekuyiqondeni ngaloo ndlela. Kodwa lo lolona vavanyo lukhulu lwakha lwakho.

3. Kukho iingqikelelo. Ukuba iingqikelelo zijika zichanekile, ke ithiyori ifanele ukuba isemthethweni. Kwimeko yangoku, sineziprofeto ezifanayo neziprofeto. Iziprofeto ezininzi ziye zangqineka zichanile. Oku kuthetha ukuba sempilweni kwento ephethwe yiSeventh-day Adventist Church. Esona siprofeto sikhulu sesi: UYesu uya kuza kwakhona. Ndilindele ukuba oku kungqinwe kwimbali yoluntu kungekudala.

4. Kukho unxibelelwano oluhle namanye amacandelo enzululwazi. Ithiyori efanelekileyo yezenzululwazi kwindawo enye iya kuhlala iphosa ukukhanya okukhulu kwezinye iindawo. Umxholo we-Great Controversy kunye ne-Seventh-day Adventist worldview ichaza ubomi kwiingxaki zabo ezahlukeneyo.

Indlela yeNzululwazi yeeNzululwazi ezingezizo

Musa ukukholelwa okomzuzwana ukuba indlela yezenzululwazi ngonqulo ithetha ukuba zizazinzulu ezifundileyo kuphela ezinokuyilandela zize ziyiqonde inyaniso. Ngokuchasene noko. Iingcali zenzululwazi zisebenzisa indlela yenzululwazi kuba yendalo. Wonke umntwana usebenzisa indlela yenzululwazi ukufunda ngehlabathi elimngqongileyo kwasebusaneni. Kukho amanyathelo asisiseko alandelayo alandelwayo, ngokuqonda okanye ngokungazi, anokuzekeliswa njengakuMzobo 1. Ukuqwalasela ngokuqhelekileyo kuthathwa njengenyathelo ngokwalo, kodwa enyanisweni, kwenziwa ngasemva ngamaxesha onke, kwaye kungekhona nje kwinqanaba elinye lenkqubo.

Qwalasela indlela esiyihamba ngayo le nkqubo nangaphandle kokucinga ngayo. Umntwana uhlala ejongile. Benza unxibelelwano oluncinci-babona ubudlelwane obuncinci - kwaye ngale ndlela bafunda indlela ubomi nezinto ezikubo ezisebenza ngayo. Olo nxibelelwano luncinci luvela kwingqwalasela ephendula umdla wabo. Ngokomzekelo, umntwana okhulela kwikhaya ekungekho mntu utyebileyo, ubona unina, obonakala ekhulelwe. Uyaqonda ukuba isisu sakhe sikhulu kuba kukho usana ngaphakathi. Emva koko ubona umntu ongaphandle kwefamily onesisu esikhulu kuba etyebile, abuze ukuba ukhulelwe na! Wayeno "mbuzo" okanye umnqweno wokwazi malunga nobukhulu bezisu, kwaye wenza i-hypothesis esekelwe kwimibono yakhe ekhaya. Umbuzo wakhe malunga nomntu otyebileyo yayiluvavanyo lwengcamango yakhe, kwaye impendulo yomzali wakhe yayiza kumnika iziphumo ukuze aphucule ukuqonda kwakhe (kwaye aphephe enye imeko enokuthi ibe neentloni!). Kwixesha elizayo ufumana ithuba lokuva abantwana bencokola xa bengacingi ukuba umntu omdala uphulaphule, uya kufumanisa ukuba unxibelelwano lweziphumo zabo zovavanyo oluncinane lukwayinxalenye yobomi (yaye ngokufuthi ehlekisa)!

Indlela yenzululwazi iyasebenza kuba indalo isebenza ngokwemithetho emiselweyo. Nokuba ibanzi okanye incinci kangakanani na, yonke inkqubo yendalo inoluhlu lwemithetho esebenzayo, kwaye sifunda ngaloo mithetho ngokuqwalasela kunye nokulinganisa. Ukuqonda ukuba iBhayibhile isisityhilelo esibhaliweyo esiphefumlelwe kwakwaMthombo ofanayo owadala indalo esingqongileyo, akufanele kusothuse ukuba kukho imithetho yesityhilelo, kanye njengokuba kukho imithetho yendalo. Kwaye sifunda ngemithetho yesityhilelo ngendlela efanayo nayo nayiphi na eminye imithetho: ngokuqwalasela kwethu kunye nemilinganiselo.

Ngokomzekelo, khawuqwalasele indlela iBhayibhile elilisebenzisa ngayo inani lesixhenxe. Linani elixhaphake gqitha eBhayibhileni, yaye libonakaliswa ngokukhethekileyo kwincwadi yeSityhilelo, eneenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe, amabandla asixhenxe, amatywina asixhenxe, amaxilongo asixhenxe, izibetho ezisixhenxe, nezinye ezisixhenxe. Lo ngumboniso. Umbuzo osengqiqweni unokuthi, “Yintoni ebaluleke kangaka ngenani lesixhenxe?” Ngoku sidibanisa imigqaliselo yethu, sijonge iipateni de sifumane ingcamango. Sinokuqonda ukuba ukwenzeka kwayo okokuqala kwingxelo yeNdalo eneentsuku ezintandathu zokudala elandelwa luphumlo lweSabatha, ukugqiba iveki yeentsuku ezisixhenxe, size sibonise ukuba inento yokwenza nokugqitywa koko kuphathelele iNdalo. Le ibiya kuba yingcinga yethu, okanye “uqikelelo olufundisiweyo,” olunokuvavanywa ngokuhlola enoba ezinye iindawo elivela kuzo inani lesixhenxe eBhayibhileni ziyangqinelana na naloo ngcamango. Sinokuzihlalutya la magqabaza ongezelelweyo, size sabelane nabanye ngoko sikufundayo. Okukhona siqwalasela kwaye sifumanisa iipateni kunye nobudlelwane, kokukhona siqonda ngakumbi iinkcukacha zesifundo.

Ukukhula Kuza Ngeempazamo

Ngokungaguquguqukiyo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba siyiqonda kakuhle kangakanani na into ethile, kukho okungakumbi esinokukufunda ngayo, yaye kusenokufuneka sisulungekise ukuqonda kwethu ngokusekelwe kwinkcazelo eyongezelelekileyo. Ngokomzekelo, uIsaac Newton wawuchaza umthetho womxhuzulane ngendlela yezibalo echaza i-18 yakhe^th ukuqwalaselwa kwenkulungwane ngokugqibeleleyo. Kwakungekho ngxaki kangangamashumi eminyaka, de kwenziwe imilinganiselo echane ngakumbi ebonisa ukutenxa okuncinane kumthetho kaNewton kwiimeko ezithile. Akukho ngcaciso yanelisayo yolu qwalaselo lwetembuko inokunikwa amashumi eminyaka angaphezulu de uAlbert Einstein abeke ithiyori yakhe yonxulumano, ecokisa umthetho kaNewton kwezo meko apho kufuneka uchaneke olongezelelweyo.

Kukwanjalo nakwizifundo zesiBhalo. Sisenokucinga ukuba siyiqonda ngokupheleleyo into, de ingqalelo yethu iziswe kwivesi okanye iivesi ezingahambelani kakuhle nokuqonda kwethu. Emva koko kufuneka siphucule ukuqonda kwethu ngendlela edibanisa idatha entsha kunye nendala ngomgaqo odibeneyo. Le nkqubo iphindaphindwa rhoqo kuzo zonke iinkalo zezifundo zenzululwazi, kwaye ukuba sinyanisekile kufundisiso lwethu lweBhayibhile, siya kuyifumana apho. Ngokungaguquguqukiyo, xa isenziwa ngokuthembeka, le ndlela iya kusulungekisa ukuqonda kwethu inyaniso ngayo yonke imijikelo yenkqubo.

Ngamanye amaxesha, nangona kunjalo, le nkqubo yokufunda iyancipha, okanye ibonakale iyeka ngokupheleleyo. Ulangazelelo lwemvelo olufana nolomntwana luye lwancipha lwaza lwathatyathelw’ indawo lulwaneliseko koko sele kusaziwa. Umnqweno wokufunda uye wathatyathelwa indawo ngumnqweno wokubonakala ulungile. Le yintlekele embi, kodwa ixhaphake kakhulu. Abaninzi, ngeendlela ezahlukahlukeneyo, baye bakholelwa kubuxoki bokuba abanakuphinda bafunde, okanye ukufunda kuyingozi (ngokoyika ukuphazama). Amaxesha amaninzi, siye sizinze izinto esicinga ukuba siziqonda kakuhle, ukuze singabandezeleki ngenxa yokuba siphosakele. Sincama ukukhula ngenxa yokoyika impazamo.

Ngaba uyazi ukuba ngabo basemva koqeqesho lwabo abadla ngokungachananga? Oosonzululwazi abasaphula umhlaba ngophando olutsha, benza amajiko amaninzi angalunganga kwaye baqhathe uninzi lweengcinga zabo phambi kokuba babambe ngokuqinileyo umfanekiso oyinyani kwizifundo zabo. Akwahlukanga kufundo lweBhayibhile. Ngokomzekelo, kwiminyaka yokukhula kweCawa yamaSabatha, kwakukho iinkolelo ezazifuna ukulungiswa nokusulungekiswa. Njengoko uWilliam Miller wayefunda isiprofeto seentsuku ezingama-2300 kuDaniyeli, ngempazamo wabala “unyaka onguziro” owawungekho, nto leyo eyakhokelela ekuphoxekeni okuncinane ngowe-1843. impazamo yafunyanwa, yaye loo mhla walungiswa waba ngowe-1844. Yaye kwakhona, kuphela emva kokuba loo mhla usulungekisiweyo udlulile, awathi la makholwa ayephoxeke kakhulu abuyela ukuze ayiqonde impazamo yawo.

Babelandela indlela yenzululwazi. Umphumo wovavanyo lwabo wabonisa ukuba ingcamango yabo yayingachananga, yaye kusenokubakho iingcaciso ezintathu ezisenokubakho: mhlawumbi umhla wawuphosakele, eso siganeko sasiphosakele, okanye iBhayibhile yayingachananga. Ngoxa abanye besenokuba baye baphelelwa lukholo eBhayibhileni, inkoliso yabo yayicinga ukuba loo mhla wawuphosakele, yaye enyanisweni, isiprofeto seBhayibhile sasingenamsebenzi wokwenene kubo. Ngokwenene, uninzi lwamaProtestanti namhlanje lukholelwa ukuba isiprofeto sikaDaniyeli semihla engama-2300 yayilixesha lokoqobo ngexesha lolawulo luka-Antiochus Epiphanes, owangcolisa itempile yamaYuda ngeminyaka yee-160 BC, ngasekupheleni kobomi bakhe. Noko ke, ubungqina obuxhasa le mbono, bulinganiselwe xa buthelekiswa nobungqina obalatha kwisicelo seminyaka engama-2300.^[5]

Ngenxa yesi sizathu, abo balandela umkhondo wobungqina babengenakukhanyela ukuba loo mhla wawusemthethweni, ngoko bafuna ukuyiqonda ngakumbi intsingiselo yesi siprofeto, ababesitolike ntlandlolo ukuba sibhekisela ekuBuyeni kweSibini kukaYesu. Le yinkqubo yokucokiswa ukuba wonke umphandi uqhelene kakhulu njengoko beshiya iingcamango zakudala bethanda inyaniso entsha, ebanzi kwaye edibeneyo. Imfundiso entle yengcwele esezulwini (ekwathi emva kwayo kwenziwa umfanekiso wengcwele yasemhlabeni^[6]), yazalelwa abo baye banyamezela iintlungu zokulungisa iingcamango eziphosakeleyo ngoxa bejongwa ngabahlobo babo ababagculelayo.

Ngesizathu esithile, nangona kuqhelekile kwiNzululwazi ukwenza nokulungisa iimpazamo, abaphandi bonqulo babambelele kumlinganiselo ongenakwenzeka, ngokungathi banguThixo, besazi isiphelo kwasekuqaleni, ngoxa eneneni, bengabafundi nje, abafuna ukuqonda uThixo neziprofeto Zakhe. Abo bavumela abafundi besiprofeto ukuba bathathe indawo ethobekileyo baya kuqonda ukuba naxa uMoya oyiNgcwele ekhokela, iimpazamo zobuntu ziyenziwa kwaye zilungiswe, kodwa ukuqonda okukhulayo yinyaniso etyhilwa kukuKhanya koMoya oyiNgcwele.

Makhe ndiphinde ndiphindaphinde le ngongoma ibalulekileyo ngelinye ixesha: Uphando olusikiweyo, nokuba lukwicandelo leNzululwazi okanye lesiprofeto, ngokuqinisekileyo luza kuba neengcinga ezingalunganga, usetyenziso olugwenxa, kwaye kuya kufuneka lulungiswe kwaye lusulungekiswe rhoqo, kodwa ingcamango yokwenyani iya kuvela kuyo yonke le nto ngepolishi eqaqambileyo. Kwakhe kwaba njalo. Kuye kwaba njalo kwiimfundiso ekudala zasekwa zebandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist; baye bamelana novavanyo lwexesha, kwaye baqhubeka beqaqamba ngokuqaqamba, nangona udaka abathi naysayers bazama ukulugibisela kubo, naphezu kweengcamango eziphosakeleyo abazalwa ngazo.

Iinyaniso esibeka ithemba lethu kuzo njengezinesiseko esiluqilima, bezikade ziingcinga ezihexayo nezinenkxaso encinane eyaziwayo. Kodwa inkqubo yomjikelo wokubuza, ukuvavanywa, kunye nokujonga iphucule izimvo kwaye yomeleza inkxaso yabo. Ngoku awaseyomihlaba yophando oluneziqhamo. Akukho ngqiqweni ngokuqinisekileyo ukugxininisa ukuba uphando olutsha lufanele lugwetywe ngokomgangatho ofanayo nalowo oye wanyamezela iimvavanyo ezininzi kunye nokulungiswa okukhulu. Kunokuba ugxeke ukusilela kwabaphandi, thatha inxaxheba kunye nabo kwisifundo sokusulungekisa izimvo zabo!

Oku kuye kwaba njalo kwi-LastCountdown Ministry. Besikwincam yokusika yophando lwesiprofeto sexesha lokugqibela, kwaye njengoko bekulindelekile, senze iimpazamo kunye nokusetyenziswa kakubi, kwaye kuye kwafuneka ukuba sisulungekise izimvo zethu amaxesha amaninzi. Kodwa ngalo lonke ixesha sisenza oko, ukuqonda kwethu kuyakhula kwaye nenyaniso etyhilwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele iya icace ngakumbi kwaye ibengezele ngokuqaqamba okukhulu. Akunakuba kuhle, ukuba amazwi amaninzi angasidibanisa nathi ekufundeni? Kungekhona ngokunikela ngezifundo zabo ezizimeleyo eziphikisanayo (ezidla ngokunikelwa kuthi ‘njengemvisiswano ngokugqibeleleyo” nesigidimi uThixo ebesityhila ngobu bulungiseleli), kodwa ngokuthabatha ukhokelo oluninzi kumanqaku ethu, nokufundisisa ezo zinto, sisulungekisa umfanekiso opheleleyo. Ayinakuba yindlela engcono na le kunokusibiza ngabaprofeti bobuxoki sicinge ukuba sikhokelwa ngusathana kuba sikholelwa ukuba uThixo ulityhilile ixesha?

Xa sikhangela emva kwiminyaka emihlanu edluleyo yobulungiseleli basesidlangalaleni, size sibone oko kuye kwatyhilwa—into eye yamelana novavanyo lwexesha nokusulungekiswa kwethu, siya kukwazi ngakumbi ukusihlolisisa isigidimi nomthombo waso. Mna ke, andiqondi ukuba kungalunga njani konke. Kukho ubungqina obuninzi obuyixhasayo, nangona isenokungasoloko ilandela i-hermeneutic abafundi bezakwalizwi abathanda ukucinga ukuba kuphela kwendlela ekhuselekileyo yokutolika. Ndivumele ndishwankathele.

Uqhagamshelwano lweOrion

IBhayibhile ithetha ngakumbi ngeOrion kunokuba ubunokuqonda ekuqaleni. Kukho ezintathu ezicacileyo^[7] ebhekisela kuyo, yaye kwimeko nganye, inxulunyaniswa ‘neenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe. Ethetha ngoThixo, uYobhi uthi,

owenza iAkturus, iOrion, kunye Izihlambo, namagumbi asezantsi. ( Yobhi 9:9 )

Kamva, xa uThixo ephendula uYobhi ekwisaqhwithi, Uyabuza, phakathi kwezinye izinto,

Ngaba ungazibopha iimpembelelo ezimnandi ze IzihlamboOkanye nizikhulule izintya zeOrion? ( Yobhi 38:31 )

Yaye uAmosi walathisa uSirayeli

Funani lowo wenzayo iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe neOrion, aliguqule ithunzi lokufa libe ngumso, imini ayenze mnyama, ibe bubusuku, ubiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele phezu komhlaba: nguYehova igama lakhe: ( Amosi 5:8 )

Phawula ukuba igama eliguqulelwe ngokuthi “IsiLimela” kwiindinyana ezimbini zokuqala likwafana nelesiHebhere eliguqulelwe ngokuthi “iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe” kweyesithathu. I-Pleiades liqela leenkwenkwezi ezininzi eziqaqambileyo, kodwa kunzima ukuzoba umgca ochaza ezona zisixhenxe ziqaqambileyo. Kwelinye icala, iOrion ineenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe eziqaqambe ngokucacileyo kunezinye. Ezi zijongwa "njengeenkwenkwezi eziphambili" zekroza,^[8] kanti kukho malunga neenkwenkwezi ezilithoba kuluhlu lwePleiades: oodade abasixhenxe nabazali babo bobabini, ngokwentsomi yamaGrike.^[9] Ngoko ke, kufanele kucace ukuba iimbekiselo ze“Pleiades” apha zinenyani, zibhekisela kwiinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe zeOrion.

Iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe zichazwe ekuqaleni kwencwadi yeSityhilelo. Achazwa apho njengakwisandla sasekunene sikaYesu, yaye achazwa njengezithunywa zezulu, okanye abathunywa bamabandla asixhenxe.^[10] Qaphela amagama asetyenziswa nguEllen G. White ukuchaza indlela asebenza ngayo:

“Ezi zinto utsho Lowo ubamba iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe ngesandla sakhe sokunene.” ISityhilelo 2:1 . La mazwi athethwa kubafundisi becawa—abo banikwe iimbopheleleko ezinzima nguThixo. I iimpembelelo sweet zibe zintabalala ebandleni zibotshiwe kunye nabalungiseleli bakaThixo, abaza kulutyhila uthando lukaKristu. Iinkwenkwezi zezulu ziphantsi kolawulo lwaKhe. Ubazalisa ngokukhanya. Uyabakhokela kwaye alathise iintshukumo zabo. Ukuba Akakwenzanga oku, baya kuba ziinkwenkwezi eziwileyo. Ngokunjalo nabalungiseleli baKhe. Bazizixhobo nje ezisezandleni Zakhe, kwaye konke okulungileyo abakwenzayo kwenziwa ngamandla aKhe. Ngazo ukukhanya kwakhe kuya kukhanya. Umsindisi kufuneka abe ngobuchule babo. Ukuba baya kukhangela kuYe njengoko Wajonga kuBawo baya kukwazi ukwenza umsebenzi Wakhe. Njengoko bemenza uThixo ukuxhomekeka kwabo, uya kubanika ukuqaqamba kwaKhe ukuze babonakalise kwihlabathi. {AA 586.3}^[11]

Wenza ireferensi ecacileyo iimpembelelo ezimnandi kaYobhi 38:31 (bona ngasentla—ekuphela kwexesha elivela ngalo elo binzana eBhayibhileni), lidityaniswa neenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe—abalungiseleli bakaThixo—abathi, njengoko sele sibonisile, babhekisela kwiinkwenkwezi zeOrion. Kumoya olandelayo, ude athethe nangeenkwenkwezi zezulu, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba kukho unxibelelwano lokomfuziselo neenkwenkwezi zokoqobo ezingasentla. Oku kubonisa ukuba kukho isigidimi somlinganiswa esimelwa yiOrion esifanele sibotshwe kubalungiseleli bakaThixo—izixhobo azikhethileyo ukuze zibonakalise ukukhanya Kwakhe ehlabathini.

Kodwa ulungelelwaniso alupheli apho! Phawula ukuba le ndinyana ithi kukho “izintlu zeOrion” yaye uThixo uyabuza enoba uYobhi ‘unokuzikhulula’ kusini na okanye azikhulule. Thelekisa oku nencwadi etywiniweyo kwiSityhilelo 5:

Ndaye ndabona kwisandla sasekunene incwadi yalowo uhleli etroneni [umqulu] ebhalwe ngaphakathi nangasemva, litywinwe ngamatywina asixhenxe [ezibotshwe “ngamabhanti eOrion”]. Ndabona isithunywa sezulu esomeleleyo, sivakalisa ngezwi elikhulu. Ngubani na ofanele ukuyivula incwadi, nokuwanqika amatywina ayo? (Isityhilelo 5: 1-2)

UYesu umelwe kwezi ndinyana zilandelayo njengeMvana exheliweyo, kwaye nguye yedwa ofunyenwe ekufanelekele ukuthabatha incwadi kuYise aze akhulule amatywina ayo.

Ukuba silandela uqikelelo lokuba le ncwadi imelwe kwiOrion, ngoko sinokukuvavanya oku ngokuphonononga ezinye iinkcukacha zokumiselwa kwalo mboniso, size sizithelekise nesimo seOrion. Ukuba ngenene uThixo wayefuna olu dlelwane, akufuneki kubekho ngquzulwano kuyo nayiphi na ingongoma. Ayisolungiselelo kuphela ekufuneka lihambelane, kodwa njengoko siphawulile, kufuneka kubekho umyalezo womlinganiswa kuyo, kwaye kukho ezinye iinkcazo ezimele zivumelane nazo zonke. Ngoko ke makhe sijonge!

Okokuqala, siyabona ukuba iMvana exheliweyo isitshixo sokuvula incwadi, kwaye Ikhona kumbindi wendawo:

Ndaza ndabona, nanko! phakathi owetrone, nowezinto eziphilileyo zone, kunye phakathi yamadoda amakhulu, kumi iMvana engathi ixheliwe. zineempondo ezisixhenxe, namehlo asixhenxe, angabo ooMoya abasixhenxe bakaThixo, abathunyelwe kulo lonke ihlabathi. ( ISityhilelo 5:6 )

Qaphela ukuba kukho umahluko phakathi kwala maqela mabini. Kwiqela lokuqala, kukho itrone namarhamncwa amane, yaye oku kwahlulwa ngokoqobo kubadala ngokusetyenziswa kwesibini kwebinzana elithi “phakathi.” Siza kufika koku okomzuzwana, kodwa okokuqala, kukho ufifi kwinxalenye eseleyo yendinyana yokuba oku kunento yokwenza nembali yomhlaba, kuba ikhankanya ngokukhethekileyo “ooMoya abasixhenxe bakaThixo abathunyelwe kuwo wonke umhlaba” njengamehlo asixhenxe, bejonge imicimbi yomhlaba. Kwisahluko esingaphambili, le Mimoya isixhenxe imelwa ‘njengezibane zomlilo ezisixhenxe ezivutha phambi kwetrone.^[12]

Kumongo weOrion, oku kubonisa ukuba iinkwenkwezi zayo ezisixhenxe (ezichazwa ngokufanelekileyo njengezibane ezivuthayo!) zityhila izinto zeziganeko ezenzeka emhlabeni. Eneneni, iinkwenkwezi zizalathisi ezibonisa iziganeko eziphawulekayo embalini. Izinto eziphilileyo ezine netrone zahlulwa kumadoda amakhulu angamashumi amabini anesine ngenxa yokuba azimelwanga ngendlela efanayo kwiOrion. Enyanisweni, ngoxa itrone (iinkwenkwezi ezizibhanti ezintathu) kunye nezinto eziphilileyo ezine (iinkwenkwezi ezine ezingaphandle) ziboniswa ngokucacileyo, abadala abangamashumi amabini anesine ababonakali njengeenkwenkwezi.

Embindini kukho iMvana, “njengokuba yayixheliwe.” Ekubeni siqonda ukuba iinkwenkwezi ezizibhanti ezintathu zimela itrone, sinokulindela ukuba inkwenkwezi kaYesu ibe ngasekunene kukaYise, njengoko kuchazwe izihlandlo ezininzi eBhayibhileni.^[13] Kwaye ngenxa yokuba baya kujongana nomhlaba,^[14] Isandla sakhe sokunene siya kuba ngasekhohlo kuthi. Eneneni, igama lamandulo lenkwenkwezi yasekhohlo yebhanti nguAlnitak, igama lesiArabhu elithetha “Ongxwelerhekileyo,”^[15] esisingisele kumanxeba kaYesu, iMvana eyaxhelwayo.

Kukho inqaku elinomdla kwinkcazo yamarhamncwa amane kunye nabadala abangamashumi amabini anesine:

Zaye zone izinto eziphilileyo ezo, iyileyo naleyo, zinamaphiko ngamathandathu ngeenxa zonke kuzo; zibe zizele ngamehlo ngaphakathi, zingaphumli imini nobusuku, zisithi, Ingcwele, ingcwele, ingcwele, iNkosi uThixo uSomandla; owayekho, ukhoyo, uzayo. kwaye nini lawo marhamncwa anika uzuko nembeko nombulelo kuLowo uhleli phezu kwetrone, odla ubomi kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. [ngoko] Amadoda amakhulu amashumi mabini anamane, awa phambi kwalowo uhleli etroneni, amnqula lowo udla ubomi kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni, eziphose izithsaba zawo phambi kwetrone, esithi, Ufanele, Nkosi, ukwamkela uzuko, nembeko, namandla; ngokuba inguwe owadala zonke izinto; ngokuthanda kwakho zikho, zadalelwa oko. ( ISityhilelo 4:8-11 )

Ichaza ubudlelwane phakathi kwala maqela mabini. Xa izinto eziphilileyo zone zizukisa uThixo, ngoko amadoda amakhulu angamashumi amabini anesine amnqula. Oku kubonisa ubudlelwane ekuhambeni kwexesha. Kukho amaxesha athile xa oku kusenzeka. Kwaye qaphela kwakhona ukuba bayamdumisa uThixo ngobukho bakhe kwixesha: eladlulayo, langoku, nelizayo! Ngoko, ngokucacileyo, la marhamncwa nabadala banolwalamano olukhethekileyo nexesha nembali yomhlaba.

Into yokuba baqhubeke bemdumisa, ukanti ngamaxesha athile kuphela bamnika uzuko olukhethekileyo, inokuqondwa ngokomxholo weOrion, kujongwa ukuba iinkwenkwezi zikho ngokuqhubekayo, kodwa ziphawula amaxesha athile athile embali (ixesha elidlulileyo nelizayo), xa zinikela indumiso ekhethekileyo. Kwaye kulapho amadoda amakhulu angamashumi amabini anesine angena, ehleli kwisangqa ejikeleze iMvana exheliweyo. Basebenza njengabamakishi kule wotshi yembali! Indumiso yabo ikwabafanisa ngamaxesha aqhelekileyo, kuba kulo mboniso, badumisa uYehova ngendalo Yayo nakwisahluko esilandelayo, ngentlawulelo Yayo:

Bavuma ingoma entsha, besithi, Ufanele ukuyithabatha incwadi, nokuwavula amatywina ayo; ngokuba wena wenziwa waxhelwa, wasithengela uThixo ngegazi lakho siphuma kuzo zonke izizwe, neelwimi, nabantu, neentlanga; ( ISityhilelo 5:9 )

Rhoqo ngeentsuku ezisixhenxe, iSabatha inika ithuba elikhethekileyo lokukhumbula izenzo zikaThixo zendalo nentlawulelo:

Khumbula umhla wesabatha, ukuba uwungcwalise. Wosebenza imihla emithandathu, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho; ke wona umhla wesixhenxe uyisabatha kaYehova uThixo wakho; uze ungenzi namnye umsebenzi ngawo. Kuba ngemihla emithandathu uYehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, nolwandle, neento zonke ezikwezo zinto, waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe; ngenxa yoko uYehova wawusikelela umhla wesabatha, wawungcwalisa. ( Eksodus 20:8-11 )

Gcina umhla wesabatha, ukuba wungcwalise, njengoko wakuwisela umthetho uYehova uThixo wakho. Wosebenza imihla emithandathu, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho; ke wona umhla wesixhenxe uyisabatha kaYehova uThixo wakho; uze ungenzi namnye umsebenzi ngawo. ukhumbule ukuba ube ulikhoboka ezweni laseYiputa [isono], wakukhupha khona uYehova uThixo wakho [ukuhlawulele] ngesandla esithe nkqi, nangengalo eyolukileyo; ngenxa yoko ukuwisele umthetho uYehova uThixo wakho, ukuba uwugcine umhla wesabatha. ( Duteronomi 5:12-15 )

Umboniso wegumbi letrone wabonwa nguDaniyeli, owathi wayichaza ngokufutshane ngolu hlobo:

Ndabona zada zawiswa phantsi iitrone [seti], uNyangelemihla wayehleli, ingubo yakhe imhlophe njengekhephu, neenwele zentloko yakhe zinjengoboya begusha obusulungekileyo; Kwaphuma umlambo womlilo phambi kwakhe, amawaka amawaka abelungiselela kuye, neshumi lamawaka eliphindwe ngeshumi lamawaka emi phambi kwakhe; kwamiselwa isigwebo, zaza iincwadi zavulwa. ( Daniyeli 7:9-10 )

Kulo mfanekiso, siyabona ukuba kukwixesha lomgwebo. Wonke ama-Adventist kufuneka akuqonde oku njengesiqalo soMhla Wocamagushelo owawufuzisela, owaqala ngo-1844. Lo mhla uthatyathwe kwisiprofeto seentsuku ezingama-2300 sikaDaniyeli 8, apho imihla imela iminyaka, njengoko kudla ngokuba njalo kwisiprofeto seBhayibhile. I iwotshi eOrion, efanekisela uMhla Wocamagusho ongumfuziselo, iqhubeka nolu lwalamano lomhla wonyaka, ukuze abadala abangama-24, abamela amaxesha eSabatha yeeveki ngeeveki, enyanisweni bamele iisabatha zeminyaka esixhenxe uThixo awayezimisele abantu Bakhe emva kokubhadula entlango:

Kodwa ngaphakathi umnyaka wesixhenxe woba yisabatha yesabatha uze kulo ilizwe, isabatha kuYehova; uze ungayihlwayeli intsimi yakho, ungasitheni isidiliya sakho. ( Levitikus 25:4 )

Ngaloo ndlela, aba badala bangama-24, njengeeyure ezijikeleze iwotshi yeeyure ezingama-24, bachaza ubude bexesha loMhla Wocamagushelo: abadala abangama-24 x iminyaka esi-7 umdala ngamnye = iminyaka eli-168. Eli xesha, elaziwa ngokuba ngumgwebo wabafileyo, laphela ngeSabatha enkulu yoMhla Wocamagushelo, ngo-Oktobha 27, 2012. Kanye njengokuba olona suku luphakamileyo kubo bonke ubuKristu—umhla awalala ngawo uYesu engcwabeni—yayiyimini yokuzila kubalandeli bakaKristu, kwakunjalo nangomhla ka-2012, yaba yimini yosizi kwintsalela yaKhe, njengoko yayiyimini yosizi kwintsalela yakhe, ibutho lokufa lihlaselwe yeSeventh-day Adventist Church, xa yayibhiyozela uSuku lweNdalo yamaKatolika (ilubiza ngokuba yiSabatha yeNdalo, ngokungathi yayikhethekile kuloo Sabatha), ukuze kuzukiswe igunya elicingelwayo leRoma.

Umzekelo

Imeko echazwe kwiSityhilelo 4 & 5 kukusetwa kwayo yonke incwadi yeSityhilelo, ngoko ukuba intsingiselo ngokwenene iyichaza iOrion, ngoko yonke enye into ekwesi siprofeto—amatywina, amaxilongo, izibetho, njl. Olu luvavanyo olongezelelweyo lwe-hypothesis, kwaye asishiywanga ukuba siqashele malunga nayo! IBhayibhile isinika umkhondo wokwalathisa isifundo sethu. Abantu bakaThixo bachazwa njengabo “bagcina imiyalelo kaThixo, kwaye banobungqina bukaYesu Krestu.”^[16] Mandulo, yayingamaSirayeli awayegcina uMthetho kaYehova.

Ukuphuma kwawo eYiputa nokungena kwawo kwiLizwe Ledinga laseKanan kwakufuzisela ukuhlangulwa komntu esonweni (eYiputa) nokungena ezulwini (kwaKanan). Ngoko xa uYoshuwa wakhokela abantwana bawela iYordan ukuze boyise iYeriko baze balidle ilifa ilizwe, oko kwakufuzisela ukusindisa kukaYesu umntu esonweni nokuzisa abantu Bakhe ezulwini. Ngaloo ndlela, elwazi ukhokelo Lwakhe lwexesha elizayo, uThixo wanika imiyalelo ecacileyo nebonakala ingqongqo ngendlela yokusoyisa isixeko, wafanekisela ukukhokela kwaKhe kwilixa elizayo.

Basijikeleza isixeko izihlandlo ezithandathu—kanye ngemini kangangeentsuku ezintandathu—ngaphambi kokuba basijikeleze izihlandlo ezisixhenxe ngosuku lwesixhenxe. Ipateni eyasekwa kwiintsuku ezintandathu zokuqala yaphinda yaphindwa ngokujikeleza kwesixhenxe, yonke into ngosuku olunye.

Ama-Adventist aqhelene kakhulu nokusetyenziswa kwamabandla asixhenxe kunye namatywina asixhenxe eSityhilelo kwimbali yobuKristu, kodwa engaqapheli ukusetyenziswa kwemodeli yaseYeriko, baye bacinga ukuba kukho isethi enye kuphela. Kodwa imodeli isibonisa ukuba isithandathu sokuqala siphinda ngaphambi kokufika kwesixhenxe. Oku kuyinyaniso ngamabandla, amatywina, namaxilongo, zonke zibaleka ngaxeshanye, kanye njengokuba umkhosi (omele ibandla) wayijikeleza iYeriko ngomthetho (omele itywina) ngoxa uvuthela amaxilongo.

Umkhondo Wobungqina

Kuya kuba kuninzi kakhulu ukushwankathela lonke ulungelelwaniso lwesiganeko ngasinye. Konke oku sikubonise ngokweenkcukacha ngaphambili, kodwa ndiphinda ndiphinda-phinda enye ngokohlobo lwesishwankathelo apha ukubonisa ukuba ukuba silandela inkqubo yenzululwazi, sifumanisa ukuba nangona imibuzo ihleli (njengoko isoloko isenza kungakhathaliseki ukuba umntu ufundisisa nzulu kangakanani na), kukho umkhondo omde wobungqina obonisa ukuba kukho uyilo olungaphaya kwemvelo kulo myalezo, nokuba kukho ulungiso oluthile oluyimfuneko, ngenxa yokuqonda okulinganiselweyo. Ukuba uyaziyeka iingcamango kunye nocalucalulo, kuya kucaca.

Into ebesiyibonisa kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo lunxibelelwano oluninzi olukhomba kubunyani balo myalezo. Ukuba ufuna ukugxeka lo myalezo, akwanelanga ukutsho nje ukuba ayilunganga ngenxa ukusetwa kwexesha okanye esinye isizathu. Kufuneka unike a bhetele impendulo kwizisombululo ezininzi ezinikezelayo. Kwisicatshulwa ngasinye esisichazayo, kufuneka unikeze a bhetele ingcaciso! Esi sigidimi sisenokungafezeki ngendlela esisichaze ngayo, kodwa sesona sibalaseleyo sinawo. Ihlala phezu kwakho ukuba uyicokise, okanye ukuba awuyithandi, fumana into bhetele, kodwa sukusuka nje uthi asiyonyaniso!

Ngaba iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe zikaYobhi neka-Amosi aziyinxulumanisi iOrion neenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe zeSityhilelo? Uze unike ingcaciso engcono ngenxa yoko ekuphela kwezihlandlo ‘zeenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe’ (kwanakulwimi lwantlandlolo) ngaphandle kweSityhilelo zifumaneka ngokunxulunyaniswa neOrion! Ngaba iimpembelelo ezimnandi azicebisi umyalezo womlinganiswa ngokunxulumana neenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe? Uze unike ingcaciso engcono kuba zithetha ntoni na. Ngaba la macandelo eOrion akanxulumananga namatywina encwadi yeSityhilelo? Emva koko nikela ingcaciso engcono ukufana koncwadi. Ngaba ingcaciso yamarhamncwa amane njengezibane ezivuthayo ayimelanga iinkwenkwezi zeOrion? Kengoku ntoni ntoni icebisa? Kulo lonke unxulumano ofuna ukulubhangisa, kufuneka ngokunjalo bonelela ngento engcono ukuba ufuna ingqondo enengqondo ukwamkela isigwebo sakho!

Sinike izizathu zokukholelwa kwethu kwinqaku ngalinye, yaye maninzi ngakumbi esingazange siwapapashe, kodwa konke oku akuhoywa ngenxa yokucalula ukumiselwa kwexesha! Ukuba ufuna ukuhlambalaza lo myalezo, ngoko sukuma ngokwakho njengendoda yokwenyani kwaye unike ingxabano epheleleyo! Wonke umntu obonakala ekwazi ukwenza oko uphosa iingcaphuno ezimbalwa zika-Ellen G. White kuthi ezithathwa njengehlabathi jikelele ukugxeka inqaku elinye, kodwa bayasilela ukubona ukuba kukho ezinye iingongoma ezininzi ezimele ziqwalaselwe ukwenzela ukuba ubunzima bobungqina butshintshe ekuthandeni kwabo. Ude ube unokutyhila imvisiswano edlula leyo ihambela lo myalezo, kuya kufuneka ucinge ukuba kunokubakho ingcaciso ngenxa yamathandabuzo akho-ezifana nengcamango yokuba akuyiyo yonke into ethethwa ngumprofeti kufuneka ithathwe njengengxelo yendalo yonke esebenzayo kulo lonke ixesha ngaphandle kokunokwenzeka nayiphi na imiqathango! Cebisa ukuba inxalenye ebaluleke kakhulu yomxholo inxulumene notshintsho olukhulu lwezicwangciso emva kwe-1888!

Yayingeyiyo intando kaThixo ukuba ukuza kukaKristu kulibaziseke ngolo hlobo. UThixo akazange acebe ukuba abantu Bakhe, uSirayeli, babhadule iminyaka engamashumi amane entlango. Wathembisa ukubakhokelela ngqo kwilizwe lakwaKanan,^[17] ubamise apho abantu abangcwele, abaphilileyo, abonwabileyo. Kodwa abo kwashunyayelwa kubo okokuqala, abazange baye “ngenxa yokungakholwa” ( Hebhere 3:19 ). Iintliziyo zabo zazizaliswe kukumbombozela, imvukelo, nentiyo, kunye Wayengenako ukuwuzalisekisa umnqophiso wakhe nabo. {1SM 68.3}^[18]

Ukhetho lwethu lwenza umahluko kwizicwangciso zikaThixo! Usenokusazi isiphelo kwasekuqaleni, kodwa oku akuthinteli ukuba enze izicwangciso aze aziguqule ngokokhetho lomntu. Ikhondo alinqwenelayo kunye nekhondo anyanzelekileyo ukuba alithabathe ngenxa yokungakholwa kwethu zizinto ezimbini ezahlukeneyo!

Into endiyichukumisileyo apha yincam nje ye-iceberg! Andizange ndiyikhankanye into yokuba iinkwenkwezi ezine zangaphandle kwi-Orion nganye zikhomba imihla ebalulekileyo kwi-Adventism, kwaye kungekhona nje nayiphi na imini eya kwanela. Ukubaluleka iwotshi kuya kutshatyalaliswa ukuba nayiphi na imihla kancinci njengonyaka omnye owahlukileyo! Ukuba unyaka we-1914 wawungowe-1913 endaweni yoko, intshutshiso ephathelele inkonzo yasemkhosini eyaqala ngeMfazwe Yehlabathi I ngo-1914.^[19] yayingenakuchongwa. Ukufa kowayesakuba ngumongameli weNkomfa kaWonke-wonke, uGeorge Irwin ngowe-1913 kwakungayi kuba nkulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba uThixo akuphawule oko emazulwini! Inqanaba elifanayo lokuchaneka liboniswa kumhla ngamnye.

Xa ufaka imihla eboniswe ngu imigca yetrone, ufanele uqalise ukubona ukuba oku akunakuba yinto eyenzeka ngamabona-ndenzile, kodwa eneneni, ngumsebenzi wezandla zoMdali weenkwenkwezi! Kodwa ukuba oko bekunganelanga, uThixo uthabatha nangakumbi—ngakumbi—ngokuquka imijikelo eyahlukeneyo kangangokuba kwaezo nkwenkwezi zalatha kwezinye iintsuku ezigubungela lonke ixesha leMbali! Ngoku uyayiqonda inkcazo ka-Ellen G. White malunga umsongo onamatywina asixhenxe (emele iOrion)?

Apho esandleni sakhe esivulekileyo kwakulele incwadi, umqulu wembali yolungiselelo lukaThixo, imbali yesiprofeto yezizwe kunye nebandla. Apha kwakuqulethwe amazwi obuthixo, igunya Lakhe, imiyalelo Yakhe, imithetho Yakhe, isiluleko esipheleleyo esingumfuziselo sikaNaphakade, nembali yawo onke amagunya alawulayo ezintlangeni. Ngolwimi lokomfuziselo kwakuloo ncwadi yayinempembelelo yazo zonke iintlanga, iilwimi nabantu ukususela ekuqaleni kwembali yomhlaba ukusa ekupheleni kwayo. {20MR 197.2}^[20]

Fractals of Time

Umjikelo weOrion endibonise kuwo iimbalasane ezingasentla, ugubungela iMini yoMgwebo, eyaziwa ngokuba yiMini Yocamagushelo yokomfuziselo. Oku kubonakaliswa kokuqala kwe Ikloko yeOrion, kodwa kukho neminye imijikelo esebenzisa iinkwenkwezi ezifanayo, inika intsingiselo entsha ngokupheleleyo kwibinzana elithi, “Imbali iyaphinda!" Ndiyifanisa nokuzifanisa kwe-fractals, imifanekiso yobugcisa yemathematika eyenziwe yabonwa ngokufika kweekhompyutha. I-fractal iqulethe uphinda-phindo ngaphakathi kwayo oluqaphelekayo olufana, kodwa olwahlukileyo ngokuphawulekayo. Ngendlela efanayo, i ixesha lembali ikwabonisa ezinye iimpawu ezifanayo.

Ingelosi yokuqala yesiTyhilelo 14 yavakalisa ukuba “i yure wakhe [uThixo] ufikile umgwebo,” yaye oku kubhekisela kwiMini enkulu yoMgwebo eyaqalisa ngowe-1844, esiqonda ukuba yayilixesha leminyaka eli-168 elafanekiselwa kwangaphambili ngumthendeleko wamaYuda waminyaka le, iYom Kippur. Ngoko ukuba lo mhla womgwebo umelwa yiyure (eyokugqibela), ngoko sisenokwenza izibalo ezilula ukuze sibone ukuba usuku lwamaKristu lwaqala nini ukusa.

Iminyaka eyi-168 kwiyure yoMgwebo x 12 iiyure ngosuku lobuKristu = 2016 iminyaka kwimini yobuKristu

Ukwazi ukuba iyure iphelile ngo-2012, sinokuthabatha iminyaka engama-2016 kwaye sifumane umphumo, "-4". Ukuguqulela oku kwimpendulo enentsingiselo kwaye sikhumbula ukuba kwakungekho nyaka onguziro, sifumana unyaka we-5 BC. Ngokwenene, njengokuba thina ichazwe ngaphambili, iyure xa ukuKhanya kwehlabathi kwaba yinyama kwaza kwahlala phakathi kwethu loo nyaka yabonakaliswa yiwotshi yeOrion.

Kodwa njengeenkwenkwezi kumjikelo omkhulu wendlela yazo emiselweyo, iinjongo zikaThixo azikhawulezi yaye azikho kulibaziseka.... Nini iwotshi enkulu yexesha walatha kwelo lixa, uYesu wazalelwa eBhetelehem. {DA 32.1}^[21]

Ngelo xesha, ukuKhanya kwehlabathi kwaqalisa ukubonakala phezu kobumnyama obagubungela umhlaba.

Vuka, ukhanye; ngokuba kufikile ukukhanya kwakho; ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova buthe chapha kuwe. Kuba, yabonani, uthixo ubumnyama buya kuwugubungela umhlaba; isithokothoko zibe izizwe; ke kuwe uYehova uthe chapha, ubuqaqawuli bakhe bubonakele phezu kwakho. ( Isaya 60:1-2 )

Xa ilanga liphuma, iinkwenkwezi ziyanyamalala. Incwadi yamatywina asixhenxe ibhalwe ngapha nangapha.^[22] nto leyo ethetha ukuba ezinye zazo zazibonakala kwangaphambi kokuba amatywina asuswe. Oku kumela iiyure zemini ngexesha lobuKristu.

Waphendula uYesu wathi, Akalishumi elinamabini na amaxa emini? Ukuba umntu uthi ahambe emini, akakhubeki; ngokuba elubona ukhanyiselo lweli hlabathi. ( Yohane 11:9 )

Kodwa ngeyure yeshumi elinanye, njengoko imini yayisiba lufifi, kwaqalisa ilixa lokugweba, kwaza kwaqalisa ukugcinwa kwengxelo yeenkwenkwezi zaseOrion. Kodwa kuthekani ngeminyaka engama-4000 ngaphambi kukaKristu, xa umhlaba wawungenawo ukukhanya kwaKhe? Ngaba akufuneki kubekho irekhodi eOrion ngeli xesha? Ungawajongeli phantsi amandla oMdali! Iwotshi enkulu yexesha iphinda ngendlela efanayo.

Iminyaka engamawaka amane yobumnyama inokuzotywa kakuhle kumjikelo omnye weOrion ukuba siliphinda kabini ixesha leminyaka ka-2016 yexesha lobuKristu. Ukubuyela emva kwiminyaka engama-4032 phambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu kusizisa ku-4037 BC njengonyaka weNdalo. Oku kunokubonakala ngathi kukwelula, ukuqonda kuphela iphupha lomzalwana uScotram njengesiqinisekiso,^[23] kodwa khumbula, sisebenzisa iNdlela yeNzululwazi, ngoko ke makhe sijonge ubungqina obongezelelweyo, kwaye sibone ukuba iyayixhasa na ingcamango.

Orion, ukususela kwiNdalo kude kube nguKristu

Ubalo-maxesha lweBhayibhile ngumbandela oye wacel’ umngeni abaphengululi kangangeenkulungwane, yaye akuzange kufikelelwe kwimvisiswano.

Ukuseka ubalo-maxesha lweBhayibhile kudala kwaba yiGrail eNgcwele ye-archeology yebhayibhile kunye nezifundo-kwaye njengenqanawa yasentsomini, kungqineke kunqabile.^[24]

Kodwa uThixo, owazi isiphelo kwasekuqaleni, ubanike isipho esinqabileyo abantwana bakhe: ukwazi ixesha. Iwotshi yeOrion “yeyona ntsinjana ingcwele” izazi ngeziganeko zeBhayibhile ebezisoloko ziyifuna ukutyhubela izizukulwana! Makhe ndizekelise. Enye into yokuba iwotshi ye-Orion hayi, ibhetyebhetye. Imihla imisiwe. Ukuba uyakwazi ukubeka kwakhona iinkwenkwezi, ngoko ke unako ukutshintsha imihla! Kodwa oku kuqina kusebenza kwinzuzo yethu. Isinika ixesha elimisiweyo eliqinileyo esinokuthi sibeke kulo iziganeko zembali. Ngelixa ndinokubonisa ubungqina obumbalwa apha, kwanele ukuthi iziqwenga zembali yeBhayibhile zidibana kakuhle kwisakhelo seOrion! Into esikubonisa yona kulo myalezo yintsimi yonke evuthiweyo ngesifundo esineziqhamo, ukuba nje sinokuqondwa ngolo hlobo!

Ngomhla wokudala we-4037 BC, sinokuphawula uNogumbe kwiminyaka eyi-1656 kamva ngo-2381 BC.^[25] Lo yayingumfuziselo wesiphelo sehlabathi, ngoko ukuba kukho nantoni na ephawulweyo kwiOrion, sinokulindela ukuba umkhukula ubekho! Kwaye ulindelo lwethu aluphoxekanga! Le wotshi inkulu yeminyaka engama-4032 isenazo kuphela iiyunithi ezili-168 ezijikelezayo, ngoko ke iinkwenkwezi ezikhomba unyaka omnye kumjikelo womgwebo, zalatha kwisithuba seminyaka engama-24 yexesha kumjikelo wokudala. Okubangela umdla kukuba, umkhukula ufike kunyaka wokugqibela wexesha leminyaka engama-24 ephawulwe yiBetelgeuse! Ayiphawulwa nje yinkwenkwezi enxulunyaniswa nophalazo-gazi oluninzi kunye nemfazwe-leyo i supernova ekwenzeni kwaye kunokwenzeka zichaphazela ubomi emhlabeni ngendlela engqongqo kakhulu-kodwa njengoThixo, Ubeka uthsuphe oluncinci kwisimo saKhe ngomhla:

UYEHOVA uzeka kade umsindo; kwaye [kodwa] omkhulu ngamandla, ongakhe amenze msulwa ongendawo; uYehova usemoyeni ovuthuzayo naseqhwithini, namafu luthuli lweenyawo zakhe. ( uNahum 1:3 )

Kungeenceba zikaYehova le nto singagqityelwanga, ngokuba azipheli iimfesane zakhe. ( IZililo 3:22 )

Umkhukula ngewawufike kwiminyaka engama-23 ngaphambilana yaye usefanelekile, kodwa inceba yeNkosi yawubamba de kwaba ngumzuzu wokugqibela ngaphambi kokuba uvukele uMnini.

Esinye isiganeko esibalulekileyo kwimbali yabantu bakaThixo yiMfuduko. Eli yayilixesha apho uThixo wenza imisebenzi emininzi emikhulu nemangalisayo waza wamisela abantu bakhe amaSirayeli. Izibetho zaseYiputa, ukwahlukana koLwandle oluBomvu,^[26] ukwakhiwa komnquba entlango, umboniso ozukileyo xa uThixo wabhala iMithetho Elishumi kumacwecwe amatye, iminyaka engama-40 ebhadula entlango, nokoyiswa kweYeriko, zonke zawela phakathi kwetrone kumjikelo wokudala. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, owona mbono ukhwankqisayo ngelo xesha yayikukududuma kweDecalogue yaseSinayi. Abantu baliva ilizwi likaThixo ngeendlebe zabo, bayibona intaba isitsha ngumlilo. Babenengxelo ehlala ihleli yombhalo wesandla sikaThixo, ekususela ngawo umnwe wakhe wawanyibilikisa amacwecwe amatye njengoko wayebhala iMithetho Elishumi. Loo Mthetho yimbonakaliso yesimilo sikaThixo. Kukuchaza uThixo ngamabinzana amafutshane.

Ngoko, hayi indlela ekufaneleke ngayo ukuba esi siganeko sibalaseleyo siphawulwe kwiwotshi Yakhe, kungekuphela nje ngayo nayiphi na inkwenkwezi, kodwa yenye yeenkwenkwezi ezimela itrone Yakhe—uMntu Wakhe! Ulwalamano olusenyongweni awayenalo noSirayeli, ehleli phakathi kwawo phezu kwesihlalo sokucamagusha, esasigubungele amacwecwe oMthetho, ethetha noMoses ubuso ngobuso, lubonisa ukubandakanyeka Kwakhe ngokungqalileyo nangokusondeleyo ngendlela engazange ibe njalo kwiminyaka yamva de uYesu ngokwakhe wahamba emhlabeni.

Kwaye ndiya kuwumisa umnquba wam [apho wawukhona uMthetho] phakathi kwenu: Umphefumlo wam awuyi kunidimaza. Ndohamba phakathi kwenu, ndibe nguThixo wenu, nina nibe ngabantu bam. ( Levitikus 26:11-12 )

Ngokwenene, bekungayi kufaneleka ukuba oku bekuphawulwe yenye ngaphandle kweenkwenkwezi ezisetroneni!

Noko ke, okulusizi kukuba, imbali eyalandelayo yamaSirayeli ayizange ilandele umzekelo uThixo awayewumisele wona. Bawexuka, belandela umzekelo weentlanga ezaziwangqongile, bakhonza oothixo bazo baza bazenza iinqambi ngoqheliselo lwazo olubi. Ishumi emva kweshumi leminyaka labona ukuthotywa okungakumbi nokuphambuka kuThixo de kwakwiinkulungwane kamva, ekugqibeleni waphumela ekwahluleni kwakhe, lwaza lonke uhlanga lwakwaSirayeli lwathinjwa—okokuqala bubukumkani basentla, yaye ekugqibeleni noYuda wafuduswa. Nangona uManase waguqukayo waza wabuyela eYerusalem, waza umzukulwana wakhe uYosiya wenza iinguqulelo ezininzi ezinzulu ngoxa wayengukumkani, izono zikaManase zaba lutshintsho olwathintela uThixo ukuba abuye kwingqumbo Yakhe.

Kwaye njengaye [UYosiya] Ngaphambi kwakhe akubangakho kumkani ubuyelayo kuYehova ngentliziyo yakhe yonke, nangomphefumlo wakhe wonke, nangamandla akhe onke, ngokomyalelo wonke kaMoses; nasemva kwakhe akuvelanga unjengaye. Akabuyanga ke uYehova ekuvutheni komsindo wakhe omkhulu, umsindo wakhe owavutha kumaYuda. ngenxa yokuqumbisa konke abequmbise ngako uManase. Wathi uYehova, Ndiya kuwasusa namaYuda ebusweni bam, njengoko ndawasusayo amaSirayeli, ndiwulahle lo mzi ndiwunyulileyo, iYerusalem le, nendlu le, le nto ndathi, Liya kuba kuyo igama lam. ( 2 Kumkani 23:25-27 )

Unyaka obalulekileyo xa uKumkani uManase wathinjwayo, kwaye isigwebo esinxamnye noYuda sasingarhoxiswayo sasingama-677 BC. Lo nyaka uwela phakathi kwebhloko yeminyaka engama-24 eboniswe yinkwenkwezi yangaphandle yesine kwiOrion! Le nkwenkwezi iqalisa isigaba sehashe eliluthuthu leSityhilelo, elimela uwexuko olupheleleyo.

Ukuza isangqa esipheleleyo sibuyela kwinkwenkwezi yehashe elimhlophe, uSaiph, ukugqibelela kweNdalo ekuqaleni komjikelo udibana nokugqibelela kweNtlawulo ekupheleni kwayo. UYesu, uAdam wesibini, wazalelwa ukusindisa umntu esonweni.

Ngaba uyabona ukuba olu lwalamano alunakusuka luzenzekele nje? Ukuba lulungelelwaniso olungacwangciswanga, ngoko umntu unokulindela ukufumana inqanaba elifanayo lokunxibelelana okubonakalayo kulo naliphi na elinye iqela leenkwenkwezi. Ndiye ndabonisa obunye (nangona bukude kubo bonke!) bobungqina obuxhasa ingcamango yokuba ikroza leOrion ngenene lisetyenziswa nguThixo njengeWotshi enkulu enxibelelene ngokusondeleyo nembali yoluntu. Asikokuvumisa ngeenkwenkwezi, apho izidalwa ezisesibhakabhakeni zifanele ukuba nempembelelo kwimicimbi yabantu, kodwa zisebenza njengemiqondiso, njongo leyo eyayinikwa kwiNdalo:

Wathi uThixo, Makubekho izikhanyiso esibhakabhakeni samazulu, zibe ngumahlulo wokwahlula imini kubusuku; kwaye mayibe yimiqondiso; namaxesha, nemihla, neminyaka: ( Genesis 1:14 )

Ke ukuba i-hypothesis yakho yeyokuba akukho nanye kwezi zidityanisiweyo iyinyani, kuya kufuneka uvavanye le hypothesis, kanye njengoko siye savavanya eyethu! Ukuba unokufumana inqanaba elifanayo lonxulumano kulo naliphi na elinye iqela leenkwenkwezi, ngoko ngokuqinisekileyo oko bekuya kubonisa ukuba akukho nto ikhethekileyo ngolu nxulumano neOrion esimele siyigqale njengeyilwe nguThixo ukuze inikele esi sigidimi. Lo ngumceli mngeni wam nakubani na nakubantu bonke. Sibonise ubungqina ukucebisa ukuba ezi zinto azibom ubudlelwane! Kodwa ubuya kuba nzima, ukufumana nje elinye ikroza elineenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe ezicacileyo ezibalaseleyo ngaphezu kwazo zonke ezinye, singasathethi ke ngokufumana naluphi na unxulumano olusengqiqweni nolusengqiqweni kwingxelo yeBhayibhile, njengoko siye sabonisa ngeOrion, kungekhona kanye okanye kabini, kodwa izihlandlo ezininzi nangeendlela ezininzi. Sihlobo, lo ngumbhalo weminwe kaThixo. Koda kube nini uqhubeka ukumchasa? Yiyeke ku Ilizwi lakhe ngoku, ngelixa usenokwenza.

Ukuxhomekeka kwemihla ngemihla

Ngokungathi le mijikelo mibini ayizange inike ubungqina baneleyo, uThixo uye wanikela okungakumbi kwabo bathandabuzayo. Kusekho omnye umjikelo we-Orion onokuthi usetyenziswe ukuvavanya i-hypothesis yethu: uMjikelo weXilongo. (Kukho umjikelo wesine ngokunjalo-uMjikelo weSibetho-kodwa lowo uya kuqala kamva kulo nyaka kwaye awunakusetyenziselwa ukuqinisekiswa.)

UMyalezo weOrion unxulunyaniswa nokuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele. Siyalelwa ukuba:

Quqelani kulowo wenza iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe namakroza; ulojika ithunzi lokufa libe ngumso, imini ayenze mnyama, ibe bubusuku; ubiza amanzi olwandle, kwaye uyawagalela phezu kobuso bomhlaba: UYehova ligama lakhe: (Amos 5:8)

Imvula yamva yoMoya oyiNgcwele sele igalela ngobuninzi obukhulu iminyaka emihlanu! Kuloo minyaka mihlanu kuye kwaqokelelana, malunga namaphepha angama-1400 emalinge ethu okushicilela oku kukhanya! Asikuko oko kukhanya, kodwa sifuna ukuvakalisa oko kukhanya ukuze ukuqonde kwaye wabelane ngako nabanye. Ekuphela kwesizathu sokuba sinyulelwe ukwenza lo msebenzi, kungokuba saqala sakwamkela ukukhanya, saza sakholwa kuko ngokwaneleyo ukuba siphile ubomi bethu ngokoko kwaye sifune ukwabelana ngako! Ukuba ke ukukhanya bekungekabengezeli ngokuqaqambileyo njengoko kufanele, ingenguye uMoya onesiphoso, kodwa bubuthathaka babo baye bazenza bafumaneka ngenxa yenkonzo yakhe! Ukuba niyathanda, uMoya oyiNgcwele uya kunisebenzisa nani, ningasityholi thina (njengoko abanye besenza) ngokuba “ngabagqwesileyo” kuphela abathi bangabefundisi. ILizwi likaThixo emhlabeni! Hayi, kodwa into esiyibonayo ngokukhanya koMoya oyiNgcwele, siyabelana, nokuba isalatha kolu lungiselelo njengomlomo kaThixo. Okanye ngaba uwulibele laa mgaqo mncinane weZibhalo:

Kodwa uThixo usuke wanyula izinto ezibubudenge zehlabathi, ukuze ngokwenjenjalo adanise izilumko; Kananjalo uThixo usuke wazinyula izinto ezibonakala ngathi azinamandla ehlabathini, ukuze ngokwenjenjalo adanise abanamandla; ( 1 Korinte 1:27 )

Wayengazinyuli izilumko zebandla ukuba zinike ukukhanya okutsha kwemvula yamva, hleze uzuko lubalelwe ebantwini. Kunoko, usinyule ukuba siziziyatha, ukuze kungabikho bani unokuphazama ukuba asibubo ubulumko bethu obunzulu ukunxibelelana (ngokungathi sinabo), kodwa bukaThixo. Usebenzisa ubuthathaka bethu kunye nokuthambekela ekulahlekeni, ukuze uzuko luye kuThixo, apho lufanele, kwaye hayi kuthi, nokuba abanye bathi, ukuvakalisa esi sigidimi kusenza sibe nekratshi. Abo balumkileyo baya kuyiqonda inyaniso, baze baqonde ukuba singabathunywa nje abanesiphoso esidlulisela okona kulungileyo sinako, umyalezo ovela kuThixo.

Lethu Izithunzi zamadini uthotho, sibonisa indlela iminikelo yomgubo neoli eyayikho kwimibingelelo yakwaSirayeli yasentwasahlobo nasekwindla, yalatha kumaxesha akhethekileyo, xa uMoya Oyingcwele (ioli) unikelwa njengommeli kaYesu (umgubo) ngokwemilinganiselo elinganiselweyo, njengemixhesho kwimirhumo. ixesha lemfazwe-okwaneleyo ukuxhasa umntu ngexesha lokuswela, kodwa akukho nto eyongezelelweyo. Iminikelo yasentwasahlobo yalatha ixesha leentsuku ezingama-51, elona xesha liphakathi kokufa kukaKristu nokuthululwa koMoya Oyingcwele kubafundi ngePentekoste.

Iminikelo yemibingelelo yasekwindla yayininzi kakhulu, kwaye isalatha kwixesha elide ubude beentsuku ezingama-372. Izidlo zasentlakohlaza zazimela ukufika kukaYesu kokuqala, ngelixa imithendeleko yasekwindla yayimela ukufika kwakhe okwesibini, ngoko eli xesha leentsuku ezingama-372 kufuneka lisebenze ekupheleni. Eneneni, uYesu wathi kwakuya kuba njengoko kwakunjalo ngemihla kaNowa. Oku kuyinyaniso ngexesha nakwimeko yebutho labantu, kuba njengokuba kwabakho iintsuku ezisixhenxe xa uNowa nentsapho yakhe bavalwa emkhombeni, nto leyo eyalandelwa ngunyaka omnye wokuba amanzi omkhukula abekho phezu komhlaba, kuba njalo ekupheleni. Iintsuku ezingama-372 lithuba leveki elilandelwa ziintsuku ezingama-365 ekuya kuthi ebudeni bazo izibetho zibe semhlabeni.

Ukongezelela kwimisitho yasentwasahlobo neyasekwindla neminikelo enxulumene nayo, kukho iinkcukacha ezongezelelekileyo zenkonzo ephathelele itempile ekhethekileyo eyabonwa nguHezekile embonweni ingazange yakhiwe. Imele abo banqula ngoMoya nangeNyaniso, endaweni yecawa ethile. Le miyalelo ikhethekileyo inecandelo lasentwasahlobo kunye nekwindla ngokunjalo, kwaye kunye, umgubo kunye "nezabelo" zeoli ezibandakanyiweyo ngokwaneleyo kangangeentsuku ezingama-1260! Eli lixesha leminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha yaye libhekisela kubulungiseleli be-144,000 XNUMX, abatempile yabo yabonwa embonweni, kodwa ayizange yakhiwe.

Njengoko umgwebo wabafileyo wawusondela esiphelweni, kwaqala ukugwetywa kwabaphilayo. Oku kumelwa kumbono kaDaniyeli, ochaza amaxesha amisiweyo:

Ndayiva indoda eyayambethe ilinen emhlophe, ebiphezu kwamanzi omlambo, iphakamisele ezulwini isandla sayo sokunene nesasekhohlo, ifunga odla ubomi ngonaphakade. [Iminyaka eyi-168^[27]] ukuba kuya kuba lixesha [1 unyaka], amaxesha [iminyaka eyi-2], kunye nesiqingatha [isiqingatha sonyaka]; yaye xa athe wawachithachitha amandla abantu abangcwele, zonke ezo zinto ziya kugqitywa. ( Daniyeli 12:7 )

Isifungo sasineenxalenye ezimbini: inxalenye yokomfuziselo yelo xesha “akufuneki kubekho ixesha"^[28] (iminyaka eli-168 yomgwebo wabafileyo), kunye nenxalenye ethethiweyo yomgwebo wabaphilayo (ababenganikwanga mqathango).^[29] Omabini amacandelo abonakaliswe ngexesha elinye, ebonisa ukuhlangana. Le minyaka mithathu enesiqingatha yomgwebo wabaphilayo ikwalixesha elifanayo leentsuku ezili-1260, ekunikelwa ngalo izahlulo ezikhethekileyo zoMoya oyiNgcwele kwabali-144,000 ukuba bahlanganisane benze umsebenzi wabo.

Ixesha libandakanyiwe kumjikelo wokugweba weOrion ngokunjalo. Emva kokuqukunjelwa komgwebo wabafileyo ngo-Yom Kippur, 2012, iwotshi inomakishi omnye ngo-2014, emele unyaka wamaJuda ukusuka eYom Kippur, 2014 ukuya eYom Kippur, 2015. Ngoko ke kukho iminyaka emithathu yexesha eliseleyo kwiwotshi emva kokuba umgwebo wabafileyo ugqityiwe, kwaye isiqingatha sonyaka siqala ukudlula. Oku kuchaza imihla ye-1260 yomnikelo kaHezekile.

Makhe ndinqumame apha okomzuzwana ukuze ndiphinde ndichaze ukuba, ukuba bekungekho lunxulumano, loo wotshi bekungayi kulindeleka ukuba ime kwimvisiswano egqibeleleyo neenxalenye ezahlukahlukeneyo zeSibhalo, ezimixholo yazo yonke inxibelelene! Ngaba uyakholelwa kuMenzi oyimfama^[30]?

Phakamisani Amaxilongo

Ezi ntsuku zili-1260, okanye iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha, kubhekiselwa kuyo kwakhona ekuvulweni kwetywina lesixhenxe. Eli litywina elingaphindi! Ngamatywina amathandathu okuqala kuphela aphindayo, kodwa elesixhenxe libakho kanye kuphela, yaye iBhayibhile ichaza ixesha:

Xa yalivulayo elesixhenxe itywina, kwathi cwaka ezulwini malunga nesiqingatha seyure. (ISityhilelo 8: 1)

Esi siqingatha seyure sitolikwe ngexesha lesiprofeto njengeentsuku ezisi-7,^[31] kwaye imele ixesha elithathiweyo ukuya ukuhamba phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba, xa izulu liya kube lithe cwaka, kuba uYesu neengelosi belishiyile ukuza emhlabeni. Olu toliko luluncedo malunga nokuqonda ixesha le-7-day lag elihlala libonakala kwimida yeziganeko zasezulwini ezineziphumo zasemhlabeni. Kodwa ayilunganga ngokugqibeleleyo, ngenxa yendinyana elandelayo:

Ndazibona izithunywa zezulu ezisixhenxe, ezimayo phambi koThixo; kwaye anikwa amaxilongo asixhenxe. (ISityhilelo 8: 2)

Ingxaki kukuba kuza amaxilongo asixhenxe emva elesixhenxe livuliwe! Ukuba ukuvulwa kwetywina lesixhenxe kwenzeka kwiintsuku nje ezisi-7 ngaphambi kokuvela kukaYesu, ngoko oko akushiyi xesha lokuba kukhaliswe naliphi na ixilongo, ezizisilumkiso, ezixutywe nobabalo! Yayiza kushiya ixesha kuphela iintsuku ezisi-7 zezibetho. IBhayibhile ineziprofeto ezininzi ezinokuqondwa ngeendlela ezahlukahlukeneyo, kuxhomekeka kukhetho olwenziwayo, neemeko eziye zenzeke. Njengoko siza kubona ngasekupheleni, kuninzi okutshintshileyo ngokuphathelele indlela yokutolika ngenxa yokugatywa kwemvula yamva nje ngowe-1888.

Kodwa ngolwazi lwewotshi yeOrion, eyiwotshi ye izulu, sinokusiqonda isiqingatha seyure sokuthe cwaka ezulwini ngokukhanya okupheleleyo ngakumbi. Kufuneka silazi kakuhle ixesha. Kukho ixesha lokoqobo, ixesha lesiprofeto elilandela umgaqo wosuku ngonyaka, nexesha lasezulwini elilandela isantya sewotshi yeOrion. Ekubeni itywina lesixhenxe lithetha ngokuzola ezulwini kangangesiqingatha seyure, sifanele siliqonde njengesiqingatha seyure sasezulwini, esingqamana nexesha leOrion! Iyure kwiwotshi yomgwebo yiminyaka esixhenxe, ngoko isiqingatha seyure yiminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha.

Itywina lesixhenxe lalatha kwiminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha yomgwebo wabaphilayo. Kuthe cwaka ezulwini kungekhona ngenxa yokuba lingenamntu, kodwa ngenxa yokuba abemi balo bebukele iziganeko zomhlaba ngokuphefumla ngenxa yokuba bebuqonda ubunzulu beziganeko zeli xesha. Nditsho ne iikhariloni zewotshi zithulisiwe. Akwaba nje abemi bomhlaba bebeqonda ukundiliseka kwamaxesha esiphila kuwo!

Ebudeni belo xesha leminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha yetywina lesixhenxe, kunikelwa amaxilongo asixhenxe kwiingelosi ezisixhenxe ezimi phambi koThixo. Umxholo yiOrion-iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe esandleni sokunene sikaYesu, azitolika njengezithunywa zezulu:

Imfihlakalo yeenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe ozibonileyo esandleni sam sokunene, neziphatho zezibane zosixhenxe zegolide; Iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe zinguYe ngelosi ngawo amabandla asixhenxe. neziphatho zezibane zosixhenxe ozibonileyo ngamabandla asixhenxe. ( ISityhilelo 1:20 )

Ngoko kwaezo nkwenkwezi zaziqaqambisa iziganeko eziphambili kwimbali yeBhayibhile nakwimbali yama-Adventist, ngoku zibonakaliswa kwitywina lesixhenxe njengezithunywa zezulu ezifumana amaxilongo! Oku kubangela umjikelo wexilongo wewotshi yeOrion! Kodwa sifanele silazi njani ixesha lokuwusebenzisa lo mjikelo?

Ngaphambilana ndikhe ndakhankanya umbono kaHezekile wetempile nendlela iminikelo eyayichazwe kwimithetho awayeyinikiwe ngokuphathelele amadini ayo, eyalatha ngayo. 1260 izahlulo yoMoya oyiNgcwele. Oku kungqamana nexesha elimisiweyo lokugwetywa kwabaphilayo. Kodwa ezo ntsuku zili-1260 ziquka ixesha lasentwasahlobo leentsuku ezingama-636, lilandelwa lixesha lasekwindla leentsuku ezingama-624. Khumbula, izidlo zasentlakohlaza zalatha ekuzeni kukaYesu kokuqala, ngelixa izidlo zasekwindla zikhomba ekuzeni Kwakhe okwesibini. Ke ngoko, lixesha lesibini kuphela elisebenzayo isilumkiso sokugqibela ngaphambi kokubuya Kwakhe! Iintsuku ezingama-624 ziqala nge-1 kaFebruwari^st, 2014 de kube ngo-Oktobha 17, 2015.

Sele sishwankathele kakuhle amaxilongo amahlanu okuqala kunye nento eyenzekayo inqaku lakutshanje, ngoko andiyi kuphinda loo nto apha, kodwa ndifuna ukuthetha ngexilongo lesithandathu ngokubanzi. Umhla wexilongo lesithandathu yayinguJulayi 8^th, 2015. Khumbula, imihla ayinakuguqulwa! Iwotshi yaba isetwe kwiNdalo, kwaye ebesoloko ephawula le mihla ngokuthe cwaka kangangamawaka eminyaka. Ngaba ayinikeli nakancinci umdla into yokuba iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist libe neSeshini yeHlabathi yeNkomfa kaWonke-wonke eyaqala ngalo mhla? Ukanti akuphelelanga apho, kodwa lo mhla ukhethekileyo yayixa kwabanjwa eyona voti ibalulekileyo kwimbali yebandla ukususela ngowe-1888! Kangangamawaka eminyaka, iwotshi kaThixo yayisalatha kweso siganeko kude kube yimini! Ayikho enye ivoti eyayicwangciselwe ngolo suku. Ngaba uyakholelwa ukuba oko kunokuba ngamabona-ndenzile?

Umwexuki de uCango luvalwe

Ukuchaneka komhla kwagutyungelwa ngokumangalisayo lulindelo lwethu oluphosakeleyo. Ukubona iimpawu ze uwexuko ebandleni kwaye njengoko sasilumkisa ngeziphumo iminyaka, kwaye sibona impembelelo eyayisenziwa ziinkokeli ezixhasa ukumiselwa kwabafazi, sasilindele ukuba ibandla livote “Ewe,” aze uThixo akhawuleze azise isigwebo saKhe. Kodwa bathi bakuthi “Hayi,” yaphela ingqungquthela baza abo babeze endibanweni bagoduka beseluxolweni, sasingazi nokuba isishiye phi na. Ngaba yonke into yayingalunganga? Ngaba icawa yayikwimeko elunge ngakumbi ngenxa yevoti yayo? Ngokungaqiniseki kwethu, sabuvala ubulungiseleli bethu (sisenza ukuba iiwebhusayithi zingafikeleleki) kangangeveki de saba ukukhanya okungakumbi.

Icawe kudala ikuwexuko. Kwakungowe-1986—unyaka owaphawulwa ngumdlali wehashe eliluthuthu, uRigel—xa icawa yaqalisa ukuba nenxaxheba esidlangalaleni kwintlangano yonqulo nokuya “kuSuku Lwehlabathi Lokuthandazela Uxolo Lwazo Zonke Iinkonzo” lukapopu eAssisi.^[32] Kulapho uwexuko lwasebandleni lwaqalisa ukuba neziqhamo ngakulo umanyano kunye neRoma! Ngoku, malunga neminyaka engama-30 kamva, emva kokunyuka ngokuthe ngcembe kwee-ecumenical kunye nobubele kupopu, le IXESHA ifikile ukukrwela umgca esantini! Ngesi sigidimi sibhengezwa esidlangalaleni ngo-2010, uThixo wayetsala umgca ngokuqinisekileyo. Ngokubhengeza uMhla wengqumbo yaKhe, uThixo wanikela umhla wokugqibela wohlaziyo.

Njengoko ixesha lalisondela, nebandla lingabonisi zimpawu zokubuya umva okanye ukuthothisa isantya salo ekumanyaneni neRoma, iingcango zaqalisa ukuvaleka njengoko kwadlula amathuba okugqibela okuba ibandla lenze umsebenzi osesikweni wenguquko nohlaziyo. Okokuqala, ukugwetywa kwabafileyo kwaphela ngeSabatha ePhakamileyo yomhla wama-27 kuOktobha, 2012. Ebudeni beli xesha, iSabatha yayingumxholo olawulayo, yaye ekupheleni kwayo, iCawa yaligatya ngenkalipho igunya likaThixo ngeSabatha, ixhasa igunya likapopu. Njengoko kukhankanyiwe ngaphambili, oku kwenziwa ngokungasihoyi isikhumbuzo sikaThixo seveki nganye seNdalo rhoqo ngeSabatha, kwaye endaweni yoko kuhlonelwa isikhumbuzo somntu seNdalo ngeSabatha enye kuphela! Icawe wavala umnyango kwithuba layo lokugqibela lokuguquka ekwaphuleni iSabatha ngexesha elabelwe yona. Umbhalo wawuseludongeni.

Kodwa uThixo akakungxameli ukuphumeza umgwebo! Ngokomzekeliso womthi womkhiwane, uYesu, owayesebenze nalo mthi wecawe ungazali iminyaka emithathu (2010-2012) ukuze uvelise isiqhamo, wawucela omnye unyaka.^[33] Kodwa kwenzeka ntoni ngaloo nyaka owongezelelekileyo wobabalo? Ukuqinisekiswa okubonakalayo komyalezo wethu yaqala ukuzaliseka ngo-2013, kodwa icawa ayizange ibuye. Ke, ngexesha lomgwebo wabaphilayo, xa umxholo olawulayo wawusuka kwiSabatha ukuya kuyo. iziko iwele yomtshato kunye nobudlelwane bawo, babhengeza ukuvukela kwabo ngokuqhubekayo ngokuchasene negunya likaThixo ngokunyulwa kukaSandra Roberts njengoMongameli weNkomfa yaseMzantsi-mpuma yeKhalifoniya. Yabakho nini le mvukelo? Ngo-Okthobha u-27, 2013:^[34] unyaka omnye kanye ukuya kumhla emva kokuba belitywinile ikamva labo ekupheleni komgwebo wabafileyo! Kwakungekho siqhamo sifumanekayo sokuzukisa uThixo kumthi ongenasiqhamo, phezu kwayo nje ingqalelo engakumbi eyanikelwa kuwo ngaloo nyaka.

Kodwa ukugwetywa kwabaphilayo kwakungekapheli. Kwakungekacaci ukuba ithini na imiba, kwaye ixesha lalifuneka ukuze wonke umntu abone ukuba oku kuya kukhokelela phi. Ixilongo lesithathu le-Orion Trumpet Cycle libhengezwe ngokuchaneka okugqibeleleyo, kuqhubeka umanyano lwebandla neRoma, njengoko yalatha kanye kuzo zombini iNtlanganiso yeCatholic Extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the Family, nakwintlanganiso yeBhunga loNyaka lamaSabatha. Amehlo kaThixo akuwo wonke umhlaba, kwaye abone okwenziwa ziinkokeli zabantu bakhe emva kweengcango ezivaliweyo, kwaye ixesha sesona sixhobo sikufanelekela ukubhentsisa iinjongo zabo. Le yayiyintlanganiso yokugqibela yebhunga xa uhlaziyo lwalunokuqaliswa ebandleni ukulungiselela iSeshini yeNkomfa yeZizwe eziManyeneyo, ekuphela kwequmrhu elinikwe igunya lokuvota kumaphulo ecawa ngokubanzi.

Umsebenzi wekomiti yokufunda [kwizakwalizwi yokumiselwa] iya kubonelela ngolwazi olupheleleyo olupheleleyo kwisihloko salo esisinikiweyo njengoko kunokwenzeka ukuba sihlolwe ngulawulo lweNkomfa Jikelele ngoJuni ka-2014, kunye nengxelo epheleleyo enikezelwe kwiKomiti yeSigqeba seNkomfa Jikelele ukuba ihlaziywe kwaye ixoxwe kwiBhunga loNyaka le-2014. IBhunga loNyaka lika-2014 liya kwenza isigqibo ngazo naziphi na izinto eziza kuthunyelwa kwiSeshini yeNkomfa Jikelele ka-2015.^[35]

Kuloo ntlanganiso, amazwi ka umbuzo weqhinga kwagqitywa ukuba kuvotelwe kwiSeshini yeNkomfa Jikelele ka-2015 eSan Antonio. Kwakhona, bona wavala umnyango ngokwabo ngokuzityeshela kwabo izilumkiso zomgwebo ozayo uThixo awayewunike ibandla ngolu lungiselelo.

Ixilongo lesithandathu le-Orion Trumpet Cycle yalatha ngokuchaneka okufanayo, kanye kusuku ukuba ibandla livote kulo mbuzo wobuqhinga. Ngasemva, ukuqonda iqhinga kumbuzo obhalwe ngocoselelo, athe uTed Wilson wacela ngokukodwa ukuba kungabikho zindululo zenziwe ngokutsha, akukhathaliseki nokuba yivoti ethi “Ewe” okanye “Hayi”, njengoko zombini ziya kuba nesiphumo esifanayo.

Umbuzo wobuqhinga wenziwa ukuba ubonakale ngathi umalunga nokumiselwa kwabasetyhini, kodwa ngaba kunjalo ngokwenene?

Ngaba iyamkeleka kwiikomiti ezilawulayo zecandelo, njengoko banokukubona kufanelekile kwimimandla yabo, ukwenza amalungiselelo ukumiselwa kwabafazi kumsebenzi wevangeli?

Lo mbuzo wawungathethi enoba kwakufanelekile kusini na ukumiselwa kwamabhinqa, kodwa enoba kwakwamkelekile kusini na ukuba iiyantlukwano zecawa zizenzele isigqibo ngokwazo kulo mbuzo. Ngamanye amazwi, yayingumbandela wegunya. Ingaba icandelo ngalinye kufuneka lilandele iNkomfa kaWonke-wonke, okanye lingazigqibela ngokwalo? Njengoko esinye isihloko sakubeka ngokufanelekileyo, “Ukumiselwa Kwabasetyhini: Izahlulo azinakuthatha isigqibo”. Ngenxa yokusilela kwecawe kwangaphambili malunga nemvukelo yeNkomfa yaseMazantsi-mpuma eKhalifoniya, evunyiweyo, sinokuphinda umbuzo ngolu hlobo:

Ngaba kuyamkeleka na ukuba nezantlukwano zitshitshise igunya likaThixo ngokubona kwazo? [a ewe ivoti] okanye kufuneka balandele ukhokelo lweNkomfa Jikelele ekugatyeni igunya likaThixo [a Akukho voti]?

Kwakungekho nketho yohlaziyo kulo mbuzo. Okanye utyeshela igunya likaThixo, okanye wamkele indlela kaTed Wilson yokungahloneli igunya likaThixo esele yenzeka. Ngaba ngokwenene impendulo yalo mbuzo inokugqalwa njengelizwi likaThixo? Into eyayifuneka yayisisindululo sokuguqula umkhwa wokunciphisa umahluko phakathi kweendima zamadoda nabasetyhini kwimiba ye-semantic nje, ukubiza abasetyhini "bathunyiwe" kodwa amadoda "amiselweyo," ngelixa ebagunyazisa ukuba benze uxanduva olufanayo. Kwaye kwakutheni ukuze kwenziwe oku? Ngenxa yothando lwemali, ngaphambili icawa yayikhe yalalanisa norhulumente ngokuvuma ukuthobela imiqathango yayo ukuze ifanelekele ukungayihlawuli irhafu ngokwesolotya lama-501(c)(3) eUnited States.^[36] Ukusetyenziswa kwamagama ahlukeneyo kwakuyeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokufihla utshintsho. Ngoku, ekubeni kungekho mahluko wokwenyani phakathi kweendima zamadoda nabafazi, kubonakala kububudenge ukwenza ingxabano ngokufaka ileyibhile eyahlukileyo. Inyaniso yeyokuba, sele sivotele u-“Ewe” ekumiselweni kwabasetyhini kwiminyaka eyadlulayo ngokunika abasetyhini igunya lokuzalisa iindima ezibekelwe amadoda nguThixo, nokuba asizange “siwamisele” ngobuchwephesha kwiiofisi zabo!

Umbuzo wento eyenzekayo ngoJulayi 8^th eyona nto ibuzwayo malunga nokuba yintoni akazange kwenzeke! Iwotshi kaThixo isixelela ukuba yayiyiSeshini yeNkomfa kaWonke-wonke yokugqibela phambi kokuba uYesu abuye. Oko kuthetha ukuba yayilithuba lokugqibela lokuzisa iinguqu ezifunekayo. Ngaba ivoti yathetha loo nto? Hayi! Akukho nto yenziwayo ukuguquka (ukubuyisela umva) impazamo ekudala ikho kwicawe yabasetyhini kulawulo. Endaweni yoko, uElla Simmons wonyulwa kwakhona njengosekela mongameli kwaye izahlulo kufuneka zamkele igunya leCawa, nokuba lichasene nentando kaThixo. Ngaloo ndlela, kwavela ithuba lokugqibela lokuba icawa izithobe ekuthobeleni uThixo. Icawa, emelwa ngumfazi, iye yala ukuzithoba kuKristu, omelwa yindoda.^[37] Kwaye kungekho mathuba angakumbi okutshintsha ngaphambi kokuba uYesu abuye, ibandla liphinde lazivalela ucango lobabalo, ngokuchasene nezilumkiso zentshukumo yethu. Oku kwaba njalo umnyango wokugqibela.

Thelekisa izenzo zecawe nezilumkiso uThixo awayezinika ngale ntshukumo:

Ngaba uyayibona indlela izilumkiso esiye sazinikela, eziphathelele amaxesha alathwe kwiiwotshi zikaThixo, ezityhila ngayo ukuba uThixo uzama ukusixelela okuthile ngokucaphuka kwakhe? Okanye ngaba ucinga ukuba olu lungelelwaniso lugqibeleleyo lokubeka ixesha kumanqaku amaninzi yinto nje enkulu? Kumhla ngamnye, besilindele ukuba uThixo athumele imigwebo yakhe ngokukhawuleza, kodwa uThixo ube nomonde kakhulu. Ungaphazamisi—nangona umonde kaThixo uphawuleka, izilumkiso zisamile: Guquka, kuba intshabalalo imisiwe. Singaphaya kwenqanaba apho inguquko iya kumisa umgwebo. Akusekho thuba lenguquko ehlangeneyo, kwaye inguquko yomntu ngamnye iya kukhusela usindiso lomntu ngamnye. Umgwebo webandla esalumkisa ngawo uya kuza. Ukuba akunjalo ngoku, kuya kuba kwizibetho!

Ufanele uzibuze enoba kuya kuba yinceba ngakumbi kusini na ukucima umlilo ococayo okanye ukuwuyeka wenze umsebenzi wawo ngokukhawuleza! Kusenokwenzeka ukuba uThixo ukubona kufanelekile ukuwutyhalela emva umgwebo kwisibetho aze abashiye abantu bengenamqondiso wokuba basenokuqhubeka bebukholelwa ubuxoki babo bethuthuzelekile.

Uya kutyhileka ke lowo ungendawo,…Kwanalowo ukufika kwakhe kungokokusebenza kukaSathana ngawo onke amandla, nemiqondiso, nezimanga zobuxoki; nangako ukulukuhla konke kokungalungisi kwabo batshabalalayo; ngenxa yokuba bengalwamkelanga uthando lwenyaniso. ukuze basindiswe. Kwaye ngenxa yoko uThixo uya kubathumela ulahlekiso olunamandla, ukuze bakholwe ubuxoki; ukuze bagwetywe bonke abangakholwanga yiyo inyaniso; wayekholiswa kuko ukungalungisi. ( 2 Tesalonika 2:8-12 )

UYesu watsho ukuba kwisizukulwana esingendawo nesikrexezayo (njengeCawa yamaSeventh-day Adventist namhlanje), akukho mqondiso uya kunikwa ngaphandle komqondiso wokoyiswa okucacileyo njengoko babenendlela yabo ekukucimeni ukukhanya okunokubasindisa. Ngoko musa ukulinda umqondiso, landela ukukhanya!

Ukwahlula kwabagwetyiweyo

Liveni eli lizwi ndiliphakamisayo ngani, esi simbonono, ndlu kaSirayeli [iBandla lamaSabatha]. Iwile intombi enguSirayeli; akasayi kubuya avuke; ushiyiwe emhlabeni wakhe; akukho bani unokuliphakamisa. ... Ngokuba utsho uYehova kwindlu kaSirayeli, ukuthi, funani mna [yedwa], niya kuphila; kodwa musani ukufuna eBheteli [ngokoqobo, “indlu kaThixo”], ningangeni eGiligali [“ivili”], ningaweli niye eBher-shebha [umthombo wesifungo sika-Abraham sokuba akayi kwenza ngobuxoki]: ngokuba iGiligali, inene, iya kuthinjwa IBheteli iya kuba yinto engento. Funani uYehova [ngaphandle “kwendlu kaThixo”], niya kuphila; hleze ayifikele indlu kaYosefu njengomlilo; ndiwudle, kungabikho uwucima eBheteli. Nina bajikisa isigwebo sibe ngumhlonyane, nibushiye ubulungisa emhlabeni; Quqelani kulowo wenza iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe namakroza; ulojika ithunzi lokufa libe ngumso, imini ayenze mnyama, ibe bubusuku; ubiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele phezu komhlaba; UYehova ligama lakhe: ( Amosi 5:1-2,4, 8-XNUMX )

USirayeli ungumzekelo weBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist. Ke intombi enyulu yakwaSirayeli iye yaba lihenyukazi lentombi yaseBhabheli. UYesu “wamnika ithuba lokuba aguquke kuwo umbulo wakhe; akaguquka.^[48] Ke ngoko "akayi kuphinda avuke."

Ngoku, iNkosi ithi kwabo baseSeventh-day Adventist Church, njengoko Itsho kwabo bakwelinye iqumrhu lebandla, “Funani iNkosi, yaye niya kuphila,” kodwa musani ukufuna ibandla lenu—indlu kaThixo—kuba yonke “indlu kaThixo” iya kubhangiswa. Musa ukuya equleni ofunga ukuthetha inyaniso^[49] (ukuvota ngokuthi “Hayi” ekumiselweni kwabasetyhini), kodwa engenamanzi aphilileyo. Musa ukungena kwivili le-hamster lemijikelo engapheliyo yobomi engenasiphelo kwisono emehlweni. Ngaba nisivile na isilumkiso sikaThixo (kungekhona kuthi) sokuba uya kugqabhuka njengomlilo, ngenxa yokuba abantu bakhe bemshiyile? Ngaba niyivile na impendulo? Quqelani kulowo wenza iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe neeOrion.

Ewe, mfundi othandekayo, ngoku lixesha lokunqula uThixo ngoMoya nangeNyaniso, njengoko uYesu watshoyo. Wathetha nenkazana leyo ngasequleni, yabuza indawo yokunqula, yathi,

Oobawo bethu babenqula kule ntaba; [ihlelo]; nina nithi, eYerusalem [iBandla lamaSabatha] yindawo apho abantu bafanele banqule khona. Athi uYesu kuye, Mfazi, Ndikholelwe, Liyeza ilixa [kwaye ifikile ngoku], xa ningayi kule ntaba [ihlelo], okanye eYerusalem [iBandla lamaSabatha], nqulani uBawo. Nina ninqula eningakwaziyo; thina sinqula esikwaziyo; ngokuba usindiso luphuma kumaYuda [abagcini abathembekileyo bemfundiso yeSeventh-day Adventist]. Kodwa kuza ilixa, kwaye selikho ngoku, xa lilonke abanquli abayinyaniso baya kumnqula uBawo ngoMoya nangenyaniso; kuba uBawo ufuna abanjalo ukumnqula. ( Yohane 4:20-23 )

Nina niba ninqula uBawo, kanti anazi ukuba asinguye lowo nimnqulayo? Ungafani nabo bathi emva ko-1844 babengazi ukuba banqula bani:

Ndajika, ndakhangela isihlwele esase sithobe etroneni; babengazi ukuba uYesu uyishiyile. USathana wabonakala ehleli etroneni, ezama ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi kaThixo. Ndababona bejonge phezulu etroneni, bethandaza, “Bawo, siphe uMoya wakho.” USathana wayeya kwandula ke aphefumlele phezu kwabo impembelelo engengcwele; kwakukho ukukhanya namandla amaninzi, kodwa kungekho thando lumnandi, uvuyo, noxolo. Injongo kaSathana yayikukubagcina bekhohlisiwe nokuhlehla, abalahlekise abantwana bakaThixo. {EW 56.1}^[50]

Kunyanzelekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba uBawo uyishiyile iCawa yamaSabatha,^[51] ngenxa yabo waligatya igunya Lakhe phezu kwabo. Akukho kukhetha ngoku, ngaphandle kokuqhawula lonke unxibelelwano nale nto kunye nayo nayiphi na enye intlangano yecawe, ngaphandle kokuba ufuna ukufumana izibetho kunye nabo.

Ukuba ibandla likaThixo liba dikidiki [inokukhanyelwa?], ayimkholisi uThixo kanye njengokuba zisenza iicawa ekuthiwa ziwile sibe likhaya leedemon, nentolongo yoomoya bonke abangcolileyo, nentolongo yeentaka zonke ezingcolileyo, ezithiyekileyo. [okt iBhabhiloni]. Abo baye bafumana amathuba okuva nokwamkela inyaniso kunye abaye bazimanya nebandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist, bezibiza ngokuba ngabantu bakaThixo abagcina imithetho, ukanti bengenawo amandla nokuzahlulela kuThixo, kunamabandla abizwa ngokuba ngawo; uya kwamkela kuzo izibetho zikaThixo kanye njengokuba amabandla ewuchasa umthetho kaThixo. Kuphela ngabo bangcwalisiweyo ngenyaniso abaya kubumba usapho lwasebukhosini kwiindawo zokuhlala zasezulwini uKristu azihambileyo ukuya kulungiselela abo bamthandayo nabagcina imiyalelo yaKhe. {19MR 176.1}^[52]

Ngokwenene, ibandla alizange libe dikidiki nje kuphela, kodwa liye lahenyuza nehlabathi.

Uninzi lweecawa zamaProtestanti [ngoku kuquka iBandla lamaSabatha] balandela umzekelo waseRoma we unxibelelwano olungalunganga 'nookumkani bomhlaba'—iicawa zaseburhulumenteni, ngokunxulumana kwazo noorhulumente behlabathi [i-UN]; yaye ezinye iimvaba^[53] [intshukumo yeecawa], ngokufuna ukuthandwa lihlabathi. Yaye igama elithi “iBhabhiloni”—isiphithiphithi—linokusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo kule mizimba, bonke abazibanga befumana iimfundiso zabo eBhayibhileni, ukanti bahlulwe baba ngamahlelo aphantse abe ngamanani, aneenkolelo neengcamango ezingquzulanayo. {GC 383.1}^[54]

Kuya kude kube nini uqhubeka ucinga ukuba icawa elungelelanisiweyo ayinakoyiswa kwaye ayinakuba yiBhabheli? Koda kube nini na nithetha njengabamangaleli bakaYeremiya:

Ababingeleli nabaprofeti bathetha kubathetheli nakubantu bonke, bathi, Indoda le [uYeremiya] ufanelwe kukufa; ngokuba uprofete ngalo mzi [iYerusalem], njengoko nevayo ngeendlebe zenu. ( Yeremiya 26:11 )

Ngenxa yokuba uEllen G. White wakhalimela indoda ngokubiza ibandla ngeBhabhiloni ngelo xesha, ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba ayinakuze ibe njalo? Akunjalongo noko! Iimfundiso zebandla asiyoBhabhiloni. Basulungekile, kodwa intlangano yonakele yaye ayinakwahlulwa kwiBhabhiloni.

Ihlabathi akufunekanga lingeniswe ebandleni kwaye litshatele ebandleni. Ngokumanyana nehlabathi ibandla ngeke yonakele,—“indlwana yazo zonke iintaka ezingahlambulukanga nezithiyekileyo.” Amasiko ehlabathi kufuneka angabi nandawo; ngokuba ziya kuvulwa iingcango apho umphathi wobumnyama eya kungena kuzo. kwaye umgca wokwahlula uya kuba ngumahluko phakathi kwalowo ukhonza uThixo nalowo ungamkhonziyo. {RH kaFebruwari 26, 1895, isiqe. 4}^[55]

USathana ungumbhexeshi kaloliwe ekuthe emva kwawo zonke iinkolo zehlabathi, kuquka iSeventh-day Adventism, zalandela.

Uloliwe weemoto [imibutho] ndaboniswa, ndihamba ngesantya sombane. Ingelosi yathi mandijonge ngenyameko. Ndithe ntsho kuloliwe amehlo. Kwakubonakala ngathi ihlabathi lonke laliphakathi. Emva koko wandibonisa umqhubi wenqwelo-mafutha, enobulungisa, enesidima umntu [Pope Francis], bonke abakhweli bajonge kuye kwaye ukuhlonelwa. Ndaxakwa ndaza ndabuza isithunywa sam esasilapho ukuba ngubani. Uthe, “NguSathana. Ungumbhexeshi, ekwimo yesithunywa sokukhanya. Ulithimbile ihlabathi. Bazinikele ekulahlekeni okunamandla, ukuze bakholelwe ubuxoki, ukuze bagwetywe.

Ndabuza kwingelosi ukuba akukho namnye na oseleyo. Wathi mandijonge kwelinye icala, ndabona inkampani encinci [akukho moto/imibutho] ukuhamba ngendlela emxinwa. Bonke babonakala bemanyene ngokuqinileyo yinyaniso. Le nkampani incinci yayikhangeleka ikhathalelwe, ngokungathi idlule kwizilingo ezinzima kunye neengxabano. Yaye kwabonakala ngathi ilanga lalisandul’ ukuphuma ngaphaya kwelifu laza lakhanya phezu kobuso babo, libenza babonakale ngathi boyisile ngokungathi sele luza kuphumelela.

Ndabona ukuba iNkosi ilinike ihlabathi ithuba lokufumana umgibe. Le nto inye ibubungqina obaneleyo kumKristu ukuba akukho wumbi; akukho mahluko phakathi kwexabiso eliphakamileyo nelibi. {EW 263.1–3}^[56]

Ngaba uwufumene umgibe? Xa umongameli webandla emi encumile kunye noNobhala-Jikelele we-UN, ngaba kukho umahluko phakathi kwexabiso eliphakamileyo nelibi? I-Seventh-day Adventist Church yiyo phantsi kolawulo lwaseRoma, njengawo onke amanye amabandla. Yimoto nje enye kuloliwe elandela emva umntu ohloniphekileyo, ohloniphekileyo, ngubani uSathana, yiza njengoko isithunywa sokukhanya, balahlekise nabanyuliweyo. Ngaba uye wafumanisa ukuba umgibe? Okanye ngaba uya kubambelela kwingcamango yokuba uSathana uya kuza njengengelosi ekhanyayo yokoqobo? Ngaba kwakha kwathi qatha kuwe ukuba uSathana unokhetho, kanye njengoThixo, kwaye inokuba yayiyintoni icebo elakhokelela ku-1888 aliselilo icebo lanamhlanje? Zininzi iindlela anokuzibanga ukuba unguKristu! Xa iBhayibhile isithi “zonke Ihlabathi lamangaliswa emva kwerhamncwa [upopu], "U^[57] mhlawumbi kuthetha ukuba, konke!

Yonke intlangano eye yavumela ihlabathi ukuba ingene kulo iqukwa “ehlabathini.”

Bakrexezindini, bakrexezikazindini, anazi na ukuba uThixo unguye ubuhlobo balo ihlabathi bubutshaba kuye uThixo? Othe ngoko angaba sisihlobo salo ihlabathi, utshaba lukaThixo. ( Yakobi 4:4 )

Kuphela ngabo bangengabo abahlobo behlabathi abaya kukwazi ukuzimela geqe kulo. UBawo ufuna abanquli bokwenyaniso abaya kumnqula ngaphandle kwamahlelo.

UThixo unebandla. Ayiyiyo i-cathedral enkulu, ingeyiyo nesiseko sesizwe, ingengabo neemvaba ngeemvaba [kuquka iCawa yamaSabatha]; yi abantu abo bamthandayo uThixo, bayigcinayo imithetho yakhe. “Apho bahlanganisene khona egameni lam, nokuba babini nokuba bathathu, ndikho mna apho phakathi kwabo.” Apho akhoyo uKristu, kwanaphakathi kwabathobekileyo, eli libandla likaKristu, kuba ubukho boPhezukonke noNgcwele ohlala ngonaphakade bunokwakha ibandla kuphela. {17MR 81.4}

Ngaba uyakuqonda oko kuthethwa kukuba iBhayibhile isebenzisa imifuziselo yamabhinqa ukumela iicawa, ize ithi i-144,000 XNUMX alidyojwanga ngabafazi?

Aba ngabo bangadyobhekanga ngabafazi [iicawe]; ngokuba banyulu [bangabinankonzo]. Aba ngabo bayilandelayo iMvana apho isukuba isiya khona. Aba bathengwa bephuma ebantwini, baziintlahlela kuye uThixo nakuyo iMvana. ( ISityhilelo 14:4 )

Asingabafazi abangcolileyo kuphela abangadyojwanga ngabo (ukuba ucinga ukuba kusekho ibandla elinyulu), kodwa liyinyaniso. nawuphi na umfazi, ngokuba bona iintombi! Abanabudlelwane nawo nawuphi na umbutho wecawa!

Ukuqonda ukuKhanya kweNyaniso

“Kubo bonke abanikwe okukhulu, kuya kufunwa okukhulu kubo.” NjengoSirayeli wamandulo, ukukhanya okuninzi kuye kwanikelwa kwiCawa yamaSabatha. Oku kubabeka kwimbopheleleko enzulu. UEllen G. White uyibeka ngolu hlobo:

UYohane weza ngomoya namandla kaEliya ukuze avakalise ukuza kokuqala kukaYesu. Ndalathelwa phantsi kwimihla yokugqibela kwaye wabona ukuba uYohane ufanekisela abo bamele ukuya ngaphambili besemoyeni namandla kaEliya ukwazisa Usuku yengqumbo nokuza kwesibini kukaYesu. {EW 155.1}^[58]

Le yayiza kuba yindima yeCawa yamaSabatha, kodwa bala elo lungelo. Nini UThixo wathetha ixesha, beva iindudumo, kodwa bayigxeka imvula yamva njengenkohliso yomtyholi. Kodwa abaninzi kwabali-144,000 XNUMX ababephakathi kwabo balivayo ilizwi, baliqonda, baza ngobuso obukhanyiselwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, bamanyana ekuvakaliseni isidanduluko esikhulu.

Asisiqondi ngokupheleleyo isigidimi esisinikiweyo. Ngokucacileyo, uThixo uye wanikela ukuqonda ixesha kunye neewotshi Zakhe, kodwa iziganeko abalatha kuzo azisoloko zicace kangako. Ezona ziganeko zicacileyo ziye zayanyaniswa nexesha eliphawulweyo (kunye Usuku) zizibetho—ingqumbo kaThixo—nokuza kwesibini kukaYesu. Oku koko iiwotshi bezichonga ngokucacileyo kwasekuqaleni. Siye safuna ukuqonda intsingiselo yeminye imihla emininzi ephawulwe kwiiwotshi zaKhe, kwaye sisazi ukuba umgwebo usemnyango wezono zebandla kunye nehlabathi, kuba indebe yabo yobugwenxa imele ukuba iphantse izaliswe, kwaye sisazi ukuba isiganeko esinye esitshabalalisayo esichazwe emaphupheni nakwimibono sisiganeko sebhola yomlilo,^[59] esi siganeko sisibalele nawuphi na umhla apho kukho imikhondo enokuthi ibekho kwintlekele enkulu.

Sasisoloko sicinga ukuba, ngesiprofeto esichanileyo sesiganeko esilolo hlobo, abantu bakaThixo ekugqibeleni babeya kukubona ngokucacileyo ukukhanya kwesigidimi Sakhe, yaye abo bali-144,000 144,000 babeza kufunyanwa baze batywinwe. Kamva, saqonda ukuba oku kwakuya kuluthintela ukholo olufunekayo ukuze i-XNUMX XNUMX ibonakalise! Kodwa sekunjalo, kubonakala ngathi ekuphela kwesigidimi esinokuqondwa ngabantwana bakaThixo abaleleyo seso sentlungu nokubandezeleka.

Xa sijonge ngasemva, kufuneka siqonde ukuba asizange sinikwe thina ukuxela kwangaphambili lo mqondiso nommangaliso. Sixelelwe zonke izinto kwangaphambili, kodwa lo mmangaliso awuzange unikwe kuthi ukuba siyazi kude kube ngoku. Kodwa oku kufanele ukuba kube njalo, kuba uYesu ngokwakhe wasixelela ukuba:

kuba ooKristu ababuxoki, nabaprofeti ababuxoki uya kuvuka, enze imiqondiso nemimangaliso yokulahlekisa nabanyuliweyo, ukuba bekunokwenzeka. Kodwa lumkani; yabonani, ndinixelele izinto zonke ngenxa engaphambili. (Marko 13: 22-23)

Iiwotshi esizinikwe nguThixo zixela zonke izinto kwangaphambili. Ngawo, siye sacombulula amaqhina antsonkothileyo eNgqobhoko, sabonisa izilumkiso ezahlukahlukeneyo, sinike izohlwayo ezininzi nemiyalelo emininzi, kodwa akukho miqondiso mikhulu nezimanga siyibonakalisileyo kuthi, njengoko besinqwenela njalo. Noko ke, kukho amakhulu abantu abavakalisa intlekele enkulu ezayo, yaye nangona bengavumelani bonke, bonke badibana ngengongoma enye: NgoSeptemba, 2015! Ngaba baya kuba bechanekile? Ngaba uYesu uya kuziphikisa?

Abanye bathi i-asteroid iya kubetha umhlaba, abanye bathi i-comet, "Nibiru," ukuwa kwezemali kwihlabathi, njl. itrone yerhamncwa imisiwe kwaye Ulungelelwaniso olutsha lweHlabathi lusekiwe. Babiza abantu ukuba basabe ezixekweni ngaphandle kwengqiqo (ngoxa sisenjenjalo kuba uThixo watyhila kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo ukuba kwakuyimfuneko), kodwa aba ngabaprofeti bobuxoki! Phawula ukuba abaprofeti bobuxoki “baya bonisa imiqondiso nezimanga,” ngoxa uYesu exela kwangaphambili kubafundi bakhe zonke izinto. Akukho nto ibonisa ukuba yonke into abaxelela yona lulwazi oluya kunikwa ihlabathi! Wenza umahluko phakathi kwabafundi Bakhe nabanye abantu. Ukuba awukholwa ukuba uYesu uxela izinto zonke ngenxa engaphambili, kuba ucinga ukuba akakawazi umhla neyure, ngoko uya kuzisika ekwamkeleni ulwazi lwexesha afuna ukukunika lona, ​​kwaye iziganeko ziya kukumangaza.

Ukuba ngoko akuthanga ulinde, Ndiya kukufikela njengesela; akusayi kulazi ilixa endokufikela ngalo. (ISityhilelo 3: 3)

Sisizukulwana esingendawo nesikrexezayo esifuna umqondiso ukuze sikholwe. UYesu ufuna sifumane uthando lwenyaniso, ukuze sisindiswe—kungekhona ukoyika imiqondiso! Ngoko ke, imiqondiso awayinikayo ibiyiyo izolile kwaye ithambile. Kwaye xa imiqondiso emikhulu, eyoyikekayo iqalisa, kuya kuba ngenxa yokuba ixesha liphelile ngabantu Bakhe ukuba babe ngomnye we-144,000. Oku kufuna ukholo olungaxhomekekanga kwimiqondiso. Baya kuba njengamasebe aqhekekileyo, iindawo zabo ziya kuzaliswa ngabo babengenalo ithuba lokufunda inyaniso. Kuphela kungokuguquka ama-Adventist aya kuthi emva koko amiliselwe emva komthi wawo, ukuze asindiswe ngokufela ukholo. Amazwi kaPawulos ezintlangeni asebenza kwabo bangazange babenalo ithuba lokufunda inyaniso namhlanje:

Uya kuthi ngoko, Axhuzulwa amasebe, ukuze mna ndimiliselwe. baphulwa ngenxa yokungakholwa; Ke wena umi ngokholo. musa ukukratsha, yoyika. Kuba, xa uThixo angawaconganga awasemvelweni amasebe, lumka hleze angakucongi nawe lo. Khawububone ke ububele nobukhali bukaThixo; ubukhali okunene kwabo bawayo; kodwa kuwe, ububele, ukuba uthe wahlala kobo bubele; okanye wogawulwa nawe lo. Nabo ke, ukuba abathanga bahlale ekungakholweni, bomiliselwa; kuba uThixo unako ukubuya abamilisele. (KwabaseRoma 11: 19-23)

Abaninzi abavakalisa intlekele enkulu ngoSeptemba basenokuba banyanisile, kodwa abo bathanda inyaniso, baya kunikwa ukuqonda ukuze baqonde ukuba bangabaprofeti bobuxoki, kuba uthando olugqibeleleyo luluphosela phandle uloyiko!^[60] Baya kuba nokholo lokukholelwa inyaniso chasene ubungqina bemiqondiso nezimanga, kwanabo babefuna imiqondiso ukuze bakholwe, banokulandela abo baprofeti bobuxoki babanika imiqondiso yabo eyoyikekayo! Bonke bafundisa uhlobo oluthile lwempazamo okanye olunye oluya kubalahlekisa kwaye lubagcine bekhohlisiwe ngeenkohliso zabo ezinamandla.

Kwanalowo ukuza kwakhe emva kokusebenza kukaSathana ngawo onke amandla, nemiqondiso, nezimanga zobuxoki; nangako ukulukuhla konke kokungalungisi kwabo batshabalalayo; ngenxa yokuba bengalwamkelanga uthando lwenyaniso. ukuze basindiswe. Nangenxa yoko, uThixo uya kubathumela ulahlekiso olusebenza ngamandla, ukuze bakholwe bubuxoki; ukuze bagwetywe bonke. abangakholwanga yiyo inyaniso; wayekholiswa kuko ukungalungisi. (I-2 Tessional 2: 9-12)

Ycinge! Yeyiphi indlela elunge ngakumbi anokuthi umtyholi abalahlekise abalahlekise ngayo abantwana bakaThixo, kunokuba “abacikide” abaprofeti bakhe ngokuyixela kwangaphambili imiqondiso emikhulu nezimanga? Indimbane eyoyikayo iya kukhangela ngolangazelelo kwaba baprofeti bobuxoki ibe iya kufuna ulwazi ezinyaweni zayo, kodwa yintoni eya kuyifumana? Inyaniso? Akunjalo. Baya kufumana zonke iimpazamo neemfundiso zobuxoki zaseBhabhiloni, “zingqinelwe” yimiqondiso engummangaliso.

Kwaye ibandla elinye elineemfundiso ezinyulu, abayi kufuna, kuba akukho namnye umSabatha onokuze azingcolise ngokumisela ixesha ngokuxela kwangaphambili intlekele. Emehlweni abo, yonke loo nto yinkunkuma nje nefula yeethiyori zeyelenqe ezivulel’ amehlo. Kuphela liSebe loBulungiseleli bokuGqibela ukuLawula ukuchasana nokugxeka okuzingileyo nokucaphukela iposi evela “kubazalwana” bethu ukuya kumaxesha amisiweyo nokulumkisa ngentlekele ezayo, ngaphandle kokujongela phantsi naziphi na iintsika zokholo lwama-Adventist.

Kungokunje umphefumlo wam ukhathazekile; ndithini na? Bawo, ndisindise kweli lixa [yobunzima]: Ndizele oku kweli lixa. Bawo, lizukise igama lakho. Emva koko kwafika apho ilizwi eliphuma ezulwiniesithi, Ndilizukisile, ndiya kubuya ndilizukise. Ke ngoko abantu ababemi khona [ama-Adventist angenamdla], weva, yathi yaduma: abanye bathi, Kwathetha isithunywa kuye. Waphendula uYesu wathi, Eli lizwi alibangakho ngenxa yam; libekho ngenxa yenu. Kungoku ukugwetywa kwalo eli hlabathi; kungoku umphathi walo eli hlabathi aya kukhutshelwa phandle. Nam ke, ukuba ndithe ndaphakanyiswa emhlabeni [iza kubonwa kwiOrion], uya kubatsalela bonke kum. (UYohane 12: 27-32)

Ilizwi elaliphuma ezulwini lalingaqondwa ngabo bonke. Abanye bakuva njengendudumo yasemhlabeni, ngoxa abanye baqonda ukuba ilizwi laliphuma kummandla wasezulwini. Thelekisa oku nombono ka-Ellen G. White:

Kungekudala seva ilizwi likaThixo [esuka kwiOrion] njengamanzi amaninzi, awasinika umhla nelixa lokuza kukaYesu. Abangcwele abaphilayo, i-144,000 ngenani, babelazi kwaye beliqonda ilizwi, ngelixa abangendawo bacinga ukuba ziindudumo kunye nenyikima. Xa uThixo wathetha ixesha, Wathululela phezu kwethu uMoya oyiNgcwele, kwaye ubuso bethu baqala ukukhanya kwaye bakhazimla ngozuko lukaThixo, njengoko wenzayo uMoses xa wayesihla kwiNtaba yeSinayi. {EW 14.1}^[61]

Ilizwi eliphuma ezulwini elibonwa ngabanye njengeendudumo ilizwi likaThixo kwiOrion, nto leyo esinika umhla nelixa lokuza kukaYesu! Kwaye njengoko ezukisa igama lakhe (uphawu) emntwini wabangcwele bakhe, ubuso babo buyakhanya kwaye bukhazimle ngovuyo olungcwele noxolo. Ukuba uYesu uphakanyiselwe phezulu kwiOrion ngabantu Bakhe beqonda isigidimi selizwi lasezulwini ukuba singaphezu kwendudumo yasemhlabeni, yaye evumela uYise ukuba azukise igama Lakhe kubo, ngoko esuka kwiOrion, uya kubatsalela kuye bonke abantu.

Uthando Lokuzincama

Kwakusemnqamlezweni, ewe, apho uYesu waphakanyiselwa phezulu, nalapho bonke abantu batsalelwa ngakuye. Kodwa uYesu wathi...

Ukuba ubani uthanda ukundilandela, makazincame, awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe [elandela umzekelo kaYesu], undilandele [ngokubonisa uthando lokuzincama olufanayo]. Kuba othe wathanda ukusindisa [gcina] ubomi bakhe bolahlekelwa bubo; othe wawulahla umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, wowufumana. (UMateyu 16: 24-25)

Uthando lukaYesu ngoluntu lwamkhokelela ekubeni abuncamele ubomi bakhe obungunaphakade, waza wayalela abafundi bakhe ukuba babonise uthando olufanayo omnye komnye.

Nguwo lo umthetho wam, wokuba nithandane, njengoko ndanithandayo nina. Akukho namnye unalo uthando olungaphezu kolu, lokuba ubomi bakhe abuncamele izihlobo zakhe. Ningabahlobo bam, ukuba nithi nikwenze konke endinimisela khona mna. ( Yohane 15:12-14 )

Kule migca mifutshane, uYesu utyhila umgaqo obalulekileyo. Uthi olona thando lubalaseleyo umntu anokuba nalo kukunikela ngobomi bakhe ngenxa yabahlobo bakhe. Kambe ke, simele sibuqonde obo bomi bubomi babo obungunaphakade, kuba oku koko uYesu wanikela ngako ngokuba ngumntu ngonaphakade, yaye ngokucacileyo luthando olukhulu ngakumbi kunolo lomntu okulungeleyo kuphela ukunikela ngobomi bakhe basemhlabeni, esazi ukuba uya kubufumana kwakhona! Nangona kunjalo uninzi luya kuliphepha idini kwaye luncede nje abahlobo babo ukuba baye ezulwini kunye nabo.

Kodwa uYesu uthi siba ngabahlobo bakhe xa sithandana ngokomzekelo wakhe kuthi. Wasithanda kangangokuba wasifela, kwaye ngokufumana uthando lwakhe, singathandana ngokwaneleyo ukuba sifelane ngokunjalo!

Uthando malungabi naluhanahaniso. Kwenyanyeni okungendawo; namathelani kokulungileyo. Mayela nothando olu lobuzalwana, ndithi, yenzelanani ububele; mayela nembeko leyo, phangelanani; (KwabaseRoma 12: 9-10)

Xa sivuselwa kwisangqa sabahlobo bakaYesu, wonke umntu wayeza kunikela indawo yakhe ezulwini ehlonela omnye, yayilidini elifunekayo. (Oku kuyinyaniso nakwihlabathi elingenambulelo, kodwa ngokucacileyo lulwalamano olusondeleyo xa uthando lubuyiselwa.)

Ukuqwalasela ukuba uYesu, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo yonke imikhosi yasezulwini ikwesi sangqa sabahlobo, Ukwatsho ukuba siyakuvuma ukwenza elo dini sisenzela uThixo ngokwakhe kunye neNdalo yonke engawi!

Usenokuba ucinga, “Kulungile, ithetha ukuthini loo nto? Akufani nokuba umbingelelo wethu ufanelwe nantoni na, kwaye nangona kunjalo, sele ekhuselekile ezulwini, ngoko yintoni eyayiza kubenzela yona? Ukuba oku kungqamana neengcinga zakho, nceda uqwalasele izinto ezimbalwa. Okokuqala, kuyinyaniso ukuba nokuba sinikele ngobomi bethu obungunaphakade, ayinakucamagushela nasiphi na isono! Kuphela bubomi bukaYesu obungenasono obunokwenza oko. Kodwa ayisosizathu sokuba sinikele ngobomi bethu banaphakade!

Kwiinkonzo zamadini zamaYuda, kwakukho iindidi ezahlukahlukeneyo zamadini, ibe asingawo onke awayesenzelwa isono. Iminikelo yoxolo yayiyiminikelo yokuzithandela eyayinikelwa njengembonakaliso yombulelo okanye yokudumisa. Umphengululi webhayibhile odumileyo wama-Adventist wenkulungwane yamashumi amabini ucacisa ukusetyenziswa kwabo:

Imibingelelo yoxolo yayiziintlobo ezintathu: imibingelelo yombulelo, eyesibhambathiso, neyesibhambathiso. Kule mibulelo, okanye umbingelelo wendumiso, ubonakala ungowona ubalaseleyo. Yayinikelwa ngezihlandlo zovuyo, zombulelo ngenxa yesiganeko esithile esikhethekileyo sokuhlangula, okanye ngentsikelelo ethile enikelweyo. Yayinikelwa ngokusuka entliziyweni ezaliswe yindumiso kaThixo, iphuphuma luvuyo.^[62]

Umbingelelo woxolo wawusisihlandlo solonwabo yaye wawutyiwa etempileni kunye nombingeleli, abaLevi, nentsapho enkulu, kuquka izicaka zabo. Kwakunganikelwanga ukufumana uxolo, kodwa kunoko njengembonakaliso yombulelo ngoxolo olwalusele lufunyenwe. Ingcaciso yayo iqulethe imifuziselo ethile etyhilayo kumnikelo wokudla owawubakho kwidini lesilwanyana.

Nguwo lo umyalelo wombingelelo woxolo, aya kuwusondeza kuYehova. Ukuba uthe wasondeza ngenxa yombulelo, wosondeza phezu kombingelelo wombulelo imiqhathane engenagwele egalelwe ioli, nezonkana ezisicaba ezingenagwele, zithanjiswe ioli, nomgubo ocoliweyo, okroqiweyo, oyimiqhathane egalelwe ioli. Wowenza umsondezo wakhe ngaphandle kwemiqhathane; isonka esinegwele kunye nombingelelo wakhe wombulelo wemibingelelo yakhe yoxolo. ( Levitikus 7:11-13 )

Ukudityaniswa kwesonka esinegwele kunye nesonka esingenagwele kubangel’ umdla ekubeni siqonda ukuba igwele elisedinini lalimela ukungcoliswa sisono.

Kwanga akungenjalo, njengoko esi sisidlo esiqhelekileyo adla kuso uThixo, umbingeleli, nomnikeli, ukuba isonka esingenagwele simele Lowo ungenasono noluxolo lwethu; nokuba igwele limela ukungafezeki komntu owamkelwayo sekunjalo nguThixo?⁶²

Kwakhona imibingelelo yoxolo yayinikelwa ngokuphathelele kwizibhambathiso zokuzahlulela, apho umntu wayenokuzahlulela ngokupheleleyo kuThixo njengempendulo yothando kubabalo Lwakhe ngakuye. Umbingelelo woxolo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba luhlobo luni na, wawungumnikelo kuThixo obonakalisa uthando nombulelo, yaye lo ngumnikelo uYesu athi abafundi Bakhe abasenyongweni, awababiza ngokuba ngabahlobo Bakhe, babeya kuwenza.

Ukungqina Ukuthanda kukaThixo

Ungafumani mbono, nangona kunjalo, ukuba ngenxa yokuba ingumnikelo wesisa wokubulela, ayibalulekanga kwisicwangciso sosindiso! Ngokwenene, idlala indima ebalulekileyo! UYesu walwenza lwafumaneka usindiso, kodwa ngubani olunyulileyo? Ngaba kukho iziqhamo zokuqala? Ewe, iBhayibhile ngokukhethekileyo ichaza i-144,000 njengezo ntlahlela:

Aba ngabo bayilandelayo iMvana apho isukuba isiya khona. Ezi yayizizo nikhululwe ke ebantwini, ngenxa yeentlahlela kuThixo nakuyo iMvana. (ISityhilelo 14: 4)

Phawula indlela ekutshoyo ngayo ukuba bakhululwa phakathi kwabantu, phantse ngokungathi ngabo kuphela abahlawulelweyo! Noko ke, kucace gca ukuba aba bantu bambalwa asingabo bodwa abasindisiweyo, kwanabesizukulwana sokugqibela sabaphilayo, kodwa bayintlahlela—isiqhamo sesivuno eyokuqala ukuze ulungele ukuvunwa. Indima yabo ekhethekileyo elusindisweni yenziwe yacaca ngakumbi kwivesi engaphambili:

Kwaye bacula ngokungathi kunjalo ingoma entsha phambi kwetrone, naphambi kwezinto eziphilileyo zone, namadoda amakhulu. kwaye kungekho namnye unako ukuyifunda ingoma leyo, lingelilo ikhulu elinamanci mane anesine lamawaka, ababethengiwe emhlabeni. (ISityhilelo 14: 3)

Bahlulwe kulo lonke uluntu “ngengoma” abayifundileyo, enento yokwenza nentlawulelo yabo. Ingoma yintetho yobumbongo nesuka entliziyweni yamava omntu. Kuphela ngabo banokufunda ingoma, kuba kuphela banamava akhethekileyo kwintlawulelo. Sinikwa umkhondo wokuba ayintoni na loo mava, ngesibakala sokuba iculwa phambi kwetrone. UYesu unikela i-144,000 kuYise etroneni Yakhe ngovuyo olukhulu njengoko becula ingoma ethi:

Ngoku kuye obunako ukunigcina ningakhubeka, nokunimisa ningenasiphoso phambi kobuso bobuqaqawuli bakhe ngovuyo olukhulu; kuThixo olumkileyo yedwa, uMsindisi wethu, makubekho uzuko nobukhulu, amandla negunya, nangoku, kude kuse ephakadeni. Amen. ( Yude 24-25 )

Umba owahlulayo kukuba bakhululwe ngokupheleleyo, kwaye ngamandla oMoya wakhe kubo, bazalisekisa umyalelo kaYesu kwabo babanjwe esonweni, “Hambani ningabi sona.”^[63] UYesu ubabonisa bengenasiphoso—bengenasono—yaye basebenza njenge umboniso ongenakuphikiswa ukuba intlangulo yakhe iphelele kwaye iyasebenza!

Kodwa kunokwenzeka njani oku? Abo bakholelwa ukuba siya kuyeka ukona ngaphambi kokuba uYesu eze basoloko betyholwa ngokuba bazenza amalungisa, ngokungathi banako ukuyeka ukona ngemigudu yabo emikhulu, kodwa akukho nto inokuphinda idlule enyanisweni! Isicatshulwa esicatshulwe ngasentla ngokucacileyo sinika uzuko uMsindisi wethu, emfanisa njengaLowo unako ukuwenza lo msebenzi mkhulu!

Into eyenziwa li-144,000, ayifuni nto ngaphandle kokuvuma:

Ndiyanivuselela ngoko, bazalwana, ngeemfefe zikaThixo, ukuba nithi isipho imizimba yenu ibe lidini eliphilileyo; Ingcwele, eyamkelekileyo kuThixo, inkonzo yenu ke leyo yasengqondweni. Kanjalo ningamilisi okweli phakade; manibe kumila kumbi ngokuhlaziyeka kwengqiqo yenu; ukuze nibe nako Ku bonisa Oko kukuthini na ukuthanda kukaThixo okulungileyo, okwamkelekileyo, okuzalisekileyo. (KwabaseRoma 12: 1-2)

Kuba niyazi ukuba zaba ziziyalo zini na, esaniyala ngazo ngeNkosi uYesu. Kuba oku kukuthanda kukaThixo, nokungcwaliswa kwakho, ukuba nikhumke kulo uhenyuzo; ( 1 Tesalonika 4:2-3 )

Apha kulapho umbingelelo woxolo ungena khona. Sizinikela nje kuYe njengesibhambathiso sokuzahlulela—ukuvuma ukusetyenziswa nguYe ngayo nayiphi na indlela ayibona ifanelekile. Kukuzinikezela okupheleleyo, kangangokuba isipho sethu “yimizimba” yethu, ukuba sihlaziywe engqondweni ngokuhlala koMoya wakhe. Ukunikezela yinto NOT kwenziwe. Yinto eseleyo, xa thina YEKA sisebenza nzima, ngoko asinto yanto yokuqhayisa ngathi.

Yaye esi sibhambathiso sokuzahlulela—ukunikela ngemizimba yethu njengedini eliphilileyo, elamkelekileyo kuThixo, phezu kwako nje igwele lokungafezeki kwethu—sisebenza ekungqineni ukuthanda kukaThixo: ukungcwaliswa kwethu! Ngaloo ndlela, i-144,000 Ku bonisa ukuba ukungcwaliswa okupheleleyo kunokwenzeka ngokuzinikela ngokupheleleyo kuThixo—kuquka nobomi babo obungunaphakade. Ngezibhambathiso zabo, bazibophelela “Landelani iMvana naphi na apho iya khona,” esithi noYobhi, Nokuba uthe wandibulala, ndokholosa ngaye;^[64] kunye noYesu, “Hayi intando yam, kodwa eyakho, mayenzeke.”^[65] Baya kumbeka uThixo ngokuthobela ngokugqibeleleyo, okubangelwe kukuba namandla kaYesu okubagcina bangawi, yaye baya kukwenza ngaphandle kokulindela umvuzo. Nangona ethabatha ubomi bam obungunaphakade, kodwa ndiya kumkhonza ngokuMnikela umzimba wam ukuze uMoya wakhe awuphathe kwaye ndibonise ukuba usindiso lomntu esonweni lunokwenzeka.

Lo mnikelo kuThixo ubaluleke kakhulu, kuba yeyona nto iya kwalathwa njengobungqina obubambekayo bokuba idini likaYesu lalili-100% lanele ukukhulula umntu esonweni, nokubonisa ukuba...

Yena [ubulumko] bunqabile ngaphezu kwekorale: kwaye Zonke izinto ozinqwenelayo azilingani naye. (IMizekeliso 3: 15)

I-144,000 lithembe uThixo ukuba uya kulixhasa ngemini yengqumbo kaThixo, kwaye aphendula intelekelelo engento yabo bathi uYehova akanako ukumgcina umntu ekonani. Ngenxa yobungqina babo bamandla kaThixo okuphelisa ngokupheleleyo isono ebomini babo, ayisokuze siphinde sivele sonakalise iNdalo yonke kwakhona.

Ngubani na onokuma phambi kobhavumo lwakhe? Ngubani na onokumelana nokuvutha komsindo wakhe? ubushushu bakhe buphalazeka njengomlilo, namawa ayadilizwa nguye. INkosi Kulungile, ligwiba ngemini yembandezelo; uyabazi abakholose ngaye [abali-144,000].... Nicinga ntoni na ngoYehova? uya kuyiphelisa imbandezelo; [esonweni] ayisayi kubuya ivuke okwesibini. ( uNahum 1:6-7,9, XNUMX )

Ngaloo ndlela, bagqibezela ubulungiseleli bukaYesu, iLanga loBulungisa, onqulwa ukususela ngeSabatha ukusa kwiSabatha kumhlaba omtsha. Yaye njengoko inyanga ibonakalisa ukukhanya kwelanga, zikhanya ngokukhanya Kwakhe, zibuyiselwa ngokomfanekiselo Wakhe.^[66] ngoxa besenyameni yabo enesono, bekhunjuzwa inyanga nenyanga.

Kwaye kuya kwenzeka, ukuba ukusuka enyangeni entsha ukuya kwenye; nokusukela kwenye isabatha ukuya kwenye. ize yonke inyama, ukuba iqubude phambi kwam; utsho uYehova. ( Isaya 66:23 )

INgqina Lesibini

Ukudibana kweeSabatha, ukuthwasa kwenyanga, kunye neendibano ezingcwele, ngumxholo wexeshana owaqala kwiMfuduko ephuma eYiputa ngokumiselwa kwemithendeleko kaYehova nemihla yazo yendibano engcwele. IYiputa imela isono, yaye iMfuduko yolo hlanga ifanekisela ukukhululwa kukaThixo abantu Bakhe esonweni. Sifanele sihlanjululwe ekungcolisweni kwesono, kanye njengokuba uSirayeli wayefanele ahlukane noqheliselo lwaseYiputa. UThixo wayefuna ukuzimilisela phakathi kwabo, kodwa wayedinga ingcwele ukuze avumele ubukho bakhe phakathi kwabantu abanesono ngaphandle kokubatshabalalisa.^[67] Iyonke inkonzo yengcwele—onke amadini ayo, ifanitshala, amatheko, neendibano ezingcwele—yayibonisa ukukhululwa okumangalisayo kukaThixo kubukhoboka besono.

Omnye wemigaqo yenkundla kaThixo ngowokuba ukuze kugwetywe ukufa, kufuneka amangqina angaphezu kwelinye ngaphambi kokuba kuphunyezwe isigwebo.

Ofanele ukufa wobulawa ngomlomo wamangqina amabini, nokuba ngamangqina amathathu; kodwa ngomlomo wangqina linye akayi kubulawa. ( Duteronomi 17:6 )

Iwotshi yeOrion yanikela umhla wokugqibela wokuguquka ngokuchaza umhla wengqumbo kaThixo. Kodwa oku, nawo onke amaxesha ako aphawulweyo, kubalwa njengengqina elinye kuphela. Ukuze aphumeze oko kufunwa ngumthetho waKhe, uThixo wayefuna ubuncinane ingqina elinye elithembekileyo ukuze aqinisekise isigwebo. Ingqina lesibini lelinye iwotshi, efunyenwe kwindawo eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo, evela kwiseti ehluke ngokupheleleyo yezifundo. Ithatyathwe kwiinkonzo zengcwele yamaYuda nakwiiSabatha Eziphakamileyo ezamiselwa ngexesha leMfuduko. Makhe sijonge ngokufutshane kakhulu kweli ngqina lesibini ukuze sibone ukuba ubungqina buyayixhasa na ingqikelelo yokuba ngenene lingqina elithembekileyo, okanye liseti nje leziganeko ezingalindelekanga, ezingenabungqina obuthembekileyo.

Ingcwele ngokwayo, awayehlala kuyo uThixo, yayingumfuziselo kaYesu Kristu, kuba “uLizwi waba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu.”^[68] Ifanitshala yokuqala awayedibana nayo umntu xa engena kwintendelezo yengcwele yayisisibingelelo somnikelo otshiswayo. Oku kumela umnqamlezo kaYesu Kristu. Ngumxholo kunye nendawo ephambili yoSindiso. Iwotshi yeOrion igxile kwenkwenkwezi emele uYesu, Lowo Wangxwelerhekileyo, yaye isifundisa ngesimilo Sakhe. Ngokunjalo, iWotshi yeSabatha ePhakamileyo isekwe emnqamlezweni kaYesu Krestu kwaye ikwasifundisa ngesimilo saKhe.

Kusemnqamlezweni apho sifumana khona isitshixo esityhila imfihlelo yekhalenda yokwenyaniso kaThixo. Isiprofeto sikaDaniyeli seeveki ezingamashumi asixhenxe salatha ngokuthe ngqo kunyaka wokubethelelwa kukaYesu njengowama-31 AD, kodwa abantu abaninzi bayawugatya lo mhla kuba wawukho. akukho kubethelelwa emnqamlezweni ngoLwesihlanu ngaloo Pasika ngokwekhalenda yamaYuda eyamkelekileyo. Bacebisa ukuba iiveki ezingamashumi asixhenxe zesiprofeto sikaDaniyeli zaqalisa ngexesha elahlukileyo, okanye basebenzisa esinye isizathu sokuba ukufa kukaYesu kwakungonyaka owahlukileyo. Kwanama-Adventist awanayo inkcaso eqinileyo kwingxoxo echasene noAD 31. Kodwa eneneni, kunjalo le ngxaki kakhulu ekhanyisa ukukhanya indlela ikhalenda yokwenyaniso kaThixo esebenza ngayo!

Xa oko kwaziwa, kuyenzeka ukumisela ngokuthe ngqo ukuba yonke imini yomthendeleko yenzeke kuwo nawuphi na unyaka ukusuka kwiziko leenkonzo zefestal kude kube kude kwixesha elizayo. Inye kuphela into ebanjiswayo: Ebudeni besidlo sesonka esingenagwele, esasikwinyanga yokuqala yonyaka, kwakufuneka izikhondo zerhasi ezisandul’ ukuvunwa kwisivuno esitsha (unyaka wamaYuda wawuqalisa kanye xa irhasi yaqalisa ukuvuthwa). Oku kwakuthetha ukuba babengenakuwuqalisa unyaka omtsha ngaphambi kokuba babe nerhasi evuthiweyo ukuze bayisebenzise kwinkonzo yePasika! Ukuba kwakungafunyanwa namnye kumasimi angqonge iYerusalem, ayewubekel’ omnye unyaka de kube yinyanga elandelayo, xa ngokuqinisekileyo yayiza kubakho irhasi enokusetyenziswa. Le yikhalenda yenyanga ilingana nosuku lokutsiba esiludibanisa rhoqo emva kweminyaka emine kwikhalenda yelanga kaGregory.

Ngenxa yesi sizathu, kuhlala kukho amaxesha amabini anokubakho kwisidlo ngasinye kunyaka othile, kwaye oku kuthetha ukuba iindibano ezingcwele—iiSabatha ezivakaliswayo zemithendeleko—zinokuthi zenzeke ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo. UThixo wayila ngendlela yokuba wayesoloko enelizwi lokugqibela ngokuphathelele ixesha!

Xa umhlaba kwindlela yawo ejikeleza ilanga unqumla umgca ophawula i-equinox yasentwasahlobo, uNyaka oMtsha weBhayibhile unokuqalisa. Ekuqalekeni kwenyanga emva kwayo, ukuba kukho ukudla okuziinkozo komnikelo otshangatshangiswayo, iqala inyanga yokuqala, neentsuku evekini aya kwenziwa ngazo imithendeleko.

ISabatha Ephakamileyo yokwenyani

IPasika kunye nemithendeleko eyalandelayo yasentwasahlobo yonke yalatha kwiziganeko ezijikeleze ukuza kukaYesu kokuqala. Ngokwenene, uYesu wayelele engcwabeni ngosuku olukhethekileyo: yayingeyiyo iSabatha yeveki kuphela,^[69] Ke yona yayiyiSabatha ePhakamileyo. UYohane wenza ireferensi edlulayo koku xa egqabaza “kuba loo mini yesabatha ibingumhla omkhulu.”^[70] Uninzi lwamaKristu lukholelwa ukuba yonke indibano engcwele yetheko yayigqalwa njengosuku oluphakamileyo, kodwa iBhayibhile ayikhe ibhekisele kuyo ngolo hlobo.

Imithendeleko yeNkosi ichazwe kwiLevitikus 23. Isahluko siqala ngokuyichaza ukuba ibandakanya iiSabatha zeveki. Emva koko, ngokungathi iphinda ingcaciso, idwelisa yonke imithendeleko yaminyaka le, ukuqala ngePasika. Olu phindo lukhethekileyo lusixelela okuthile ngobudlelwane phakathi kweSabatha yeveki ngeeveki neeSabatha ezivakaliswayo zonyaka zemithendeleko.

Okokuqala, zahlukene. ISabatha yeveki ikwinkcazelo yayo ezimeleyo, kwaye eneneni, ingumthendeleko weNkosi, nendibano engcwele, kodwa ayikho kudidi olufanayo neeSabatha zomthendeleko wonyaka, kuba ingomnye weMithetho eliShumi, ebhalwe ngelitye ngomnwe kaThixo, emele zombini ukuhlala kwayo (“ukubekwa etyeni”) kwaye inika ulwamlwano olusondeleyo kwisandla saKhe njengesandla saKhe esisondeleyo. umkhondo kubuntu babo)! Noko ke, imithetho ephathelele imithendeleko yayithethwa kuMoses kuphela, owathi wayibhala ekhukweni waza wayixelela abantu.

Okwesibini, nangona ahlukene, omabini la maqela (iiSabatha zomhla wesixhenxe weveki kunye neeSabatha zonyaka womthendeleko wonyaka) agqalwa njengemithendeleko kaYehova, esebenzisa ulwimi olufanayo. Oku kusengqiqweni xa sicinga ukuba igama elithi “itheko” lithetha “amaxesha amisiweyo.” INkosi inexesha elimisiweyo leveki nganye, namaxesha amisiweyo ngonyaka. Kwaye ukuba neenkcazo ezimbini zemithendeleko kuthetha ukuba kufuneka sizidibanise ukuze sifumane ukuqonda okupheleleyo. Ngaloo ndlela, kumele kubekho intsingiselo kuloo maxesha amisiweyo ayiSabatha ngokubakho kwawo zombini usuku lwesixhenxe lweveki kunye neSabatha emiselweyo yonyaka. Ngokufanelekileyo ezi zibizwa ngokuba “ziintsuku eziphakamileyo” ngenxa yokuba ziintsuku eziphindwe kabini.

Ukuqonda ngokwemveli kwamaKristu amaninzi malunga neentsuku eziphakamileyo ayithatheli ngqalelo inkcazo epheleleyo. Abayikhathaleli into yokuba iSabatha yeveki nganye ibandakanyiwe njengomthendeleko weNkosi kwakwesi sicatshulwa. Oku akushiyi nto ngaphezu kweSabatha eqhelekileyo ukuyibiza ngokuba yiSabatha “ephakamileyo”. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, iintsuku eziphakamileyo zichazwe kakuhle njenge kuphela ezo ntsuku zetheko nazo zingomhla wesixhenxe weSabatha.

Unokubuza ukuba kutheni oku kubalulekile. Impendulo ifumaneka kubungqina obungathethiyo obanikelwayo xa umzimba woMniki-bomi wawulele engcwabeni ungenabomi. Igazi lobomi bakhe, elakhutshelwa kweso sidumbu siluthuthu, lagalelwa njengedini lothando lokucamagushela mna nawe, ngenxa yokuba saphule umthetho wakhe. Wayengenako ukuwugoba umthetho, kuba wawubhalwe ematyeni. Endaweni yoko, ekuphela kwendlela yosindiso lwethu yayikukuba uYesu, uKumkani wozuko, anikele ngobomi bakhe ukuze bube ngumzalwana kanaphakade kwiimpethu ezincinci ezibizwa ngokuba luluntu. Kuba Lowo wayelingana noYise—Lowo wayeneempawu ezingapheliyo zikaSomandla—ukuze azithobe kumbungu ophantsi womntu—kungekhona ubomi basemhlabeni, kodwa ngonaphakade—sisimo awathi umzimba Wakhe owenzakeleyo, ongenabomi wangqina ngaso ngaloo Sabatha ePhakamileyo yesijwili yomhla wama-25/26, AD 31.

ENdalweni, uThixo waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe waza wahlaziyeka. Emva kokuba emisele umzekelo, wakuyalela kwindalo yakhe ukuba ngokunjalo kuphumle ngomhla weSabatha. Ngaloo Sabatha iPhakamileyo, umzimba kaYesu ophumlileyo wamisela umzekelo wokuzahlulela okupheleleyo nothando olungenasiphelo, kwaye njengangaphambili, uyakuyalela oko kubafundi bakhe: “Nguwo lo umthetho wam, wokuba nithandane, njengoko ndanithandayo nina.^[71]

I-Genetics yeSabatha ephezulu

Ukuba sinqwenela ukuba ngabahlobo bakaYesu kwaye sigcine umthetho wakhe wokuba sithandane ngokungenasiphelo, ngoko kuya kufuneka sisiqonde isigidimi esibekwe nguThixo kwiiSabatha eziPhakamileyo, kuba kweso sigidimi kukho ilungiselelo lokuba isimilo sakhe siphindaphindwe kuthi. NjengoMdali kuphela wezulu nomhlaba nako konke okukuzo, Wakha kwiiSabatha eziPhakamileyo, umfanekiso omhle—umzekeliso wenkqubo yokuphindaphinda isimilo kwinqanaba leeselula! Ukususela kumgama omde wesibhakabhaka esiphakathi kweenkwenkwezi ukuya ekuchanekeni kweathom yeenkqubo ezingaphakathi kwiseli yomntu, sibona umbhalo wesandla woMdali, yaye uvakalisa ukugqibelela okungunaphakade kwesimilo sikaThixo.

Iseli nganye yomzimba wethu idibana negazi, nto leyo elizisela ioksijini eyidingayo ukuze iqhubeke iphila. Zifana neendawo ezincinane ezisasazwa kuzo ioksijini, kusetyenziswa isondlo, kuveliswa amandla, zize iienzymes zisebenze. Ngaphakathi kule ndawo yokuhlala kukho indawo engaphakathi ekhuselweyo apho i-DNA igcinwa khona. Kulapho umthetho weseli ubhalwa khona, njengokuba umthetho kaThixo wawugcinwe kweyona ndawo ingcwele yengcwele. Lo mthetho we-DNA uqulethe imiyalelo yokwenziwa kwawo wonke umatshini we-enzayimi okwiseli, kwaye kuthethwa ngawo nanini na kufuneka okungakumbi ukuze kuphunyezwe umsebenzi othile weselula. Iimpawu ezifunyanwa ngabantwana bethu zidluliselwa kubo ngeDNA. Hayi kuphela iimpawu zethu zomzimba, kodwa ubuntu bethu bubhalwe ngokunjalo kwiDNA yethu, njengoko kunokubonwa xa umntwana ebonisa isimilo esifana ngokucacileyo nesabazali bakhe, ngaphambi kokuba afumane ithuba lokuzifunda ngokuqwalasela.

Lo mgaqo ukhutshiwe kumyalezo weeSabatha eziPhakamileyo. Kanye njengokuba iSabatha ePhakamileyo xa uYesu wayephumle engcwabeni ngokufuziselayo wasigquma isimilo saKhe, kunjalo nangeeSabatha eziPhakamileyo ngalo lonke ixesha xa zidibene zithetha ngesimilo saKhe. Ukuba ucinga ngoLuhlu lweSabatha ePhakamileyo “njengechromosome” ende yeDNA yexeshana esusela ekumiselweni kwemithendeleko kwiMfuduko ukusa ekupheleni kwembali yoluntu, ngoko ixesha lezigidimi zezithunywa zezulu ezintathu ezikwiSityhilelo 14 liya kufaniswa “nemfuza” enye ekuloo chromosome yexesha. Injongo kaThixo ngeyure yomgwebo yayikukulungiselela abantu ababeya kuvuma ukubamkela ufuzo lobomi!

Lo mlinganiswa “wofuzo” ofunwa li-144,000, uboniswa ziiSabatha eziPhakamileyo ekuhambeni kweMini yoCamagushelo engumfuziselo-ixesha elimelwa kumjikelo womgwebo weOrion, kwaye lafanekiselwa kwangaphambili ngomthendeleko ondilisekileyo weYom Kippur, xa sonke isono sikaSirayeli saye sacinywa ngokomfuziselo.

Umbingeleli wonicamagushela ngaloo mini; ukuze nihlambuluke, nihlambuluke ezonweni zenu zonke phambi koYehova. ( Levitikus 16:30 )

Oku kwakumela okungakumbi kunokuxolelwa, kuba oko kwakufunyanwa kwisibingelelo somnikelo otshiswayo. Uxolelo lwalunikwa imihla ngemihla, kodwa ngolu suku lomthendeleko olukhethekileyo lwenyanga yesixhenxe, abazange baxolelwe kuphela, kodwa bahlanjululwe! Yayimalunga nokucoceka phambi koThixo—ngokufumana uMlingiswa kaYesu ezintliziyweni zabo. Ke ngoko, leli xesha, apho le "gene" ifakwe kwikhowudi kwiiSabatha eziPhakamileyo.

Kukho unxulumano oluninzi olufuziselayo phakathi kwe-biological DNA kunye noLuhlu lweSabatha oluPhezulu.

I-Biological DNA	Uluhlu lweSabatha oluphezulu
Iqulathe uluhlu lwezibini ezisisiseko ezahlukeneyo ezingenantsingiselo yendalo.	Iqulathe uluhlu lweeSabatha eziPhakamileyo ezahlukeneyo ezinokubakho ezingenantsingiselo yendalo.
Iqulathe izibini ezithathu ezitolikwa njengeebhloko zokwakha iiproteni.	Iqulathe amasuntswana amathathu eeSabatha eziPhakamileyo ezinokubakho ezikhomba iimpawu zesimo sikaKristu.
Ezinye ii-triplets ezimbini ezisisiseko (aka codons) ziqala okanye zimise iicodons ezibonisa ukuba ushicilelo luqale okanye luphele, ngokulandelelanayo.	Ixesha ekwathi ngalo isigidimi sokuqala nesesibini sezithunywa zezulu zavakaliswa ngo-1841-1843 kwaye iiSabatha eziPhakamileyo zeli xesha zimela i-codon yokuqala, engafumanekiyo kwenye indawo ngolandelelwano.
I-Ribosomes-izixhobo zeselula ezitolika i-triplet codons-chonga i-codon nganye ngokuyifanisa kwipatheni yangaphakathi.	“Misa iikhodons” kuLuhlu oluPhezulu lweSabatha ichongiwe njengezo zingqamana nomzekelo weeSabatha eziPhakamileyo ze-1888-1890 triplet, xa uYesu wayenokuphelisa imbali ukuba isigidimi sika-1888 samkelwe.[72]
IiCodons zihlanganiswe ngamaqela amabini okuqala esiseko se-triplet, ukuba ukuba ziyafana, ngokuqhelekileyo zimele ibhloko efanayo yokwakha.	Ezinye ii-“stop codons” kuLuhlu lweSabatha oluPhakamileyo zichongwa njengazo zinepateni efanayo kwiminyaka emibini yokuqala.[73]
Ngelixa i-codon yokumisa inokuthi ngamanye amaxesha ingayeki ushicilelo, i-double-stop codon (ii-codon ezimbini zokumisa ngokulandelelana) ihlala imisa ushicilelo.	Ziliqela "ikhowudi zokumisa" zenzeka ngokulandelelana, kodwa ekugqibeleni, ezimbini zilandelelana ngokukhawuleza, zenza "ikhodon yokumisa kabini," ebonisa ukuba imbali ayisayi kuqhubeka njengoko yenzayo emva ko-1888.
I-DNA inamacala amabini.	IiSabatha Eziphakamileyo ezinokubakho zihlanganiswa zibe “ziintambo” ezimbini ngokubhekiselele ekubeni zivela kwimibhiyozo yasentwasahlobo okanye yasekwindla.
I-DNA ine-helical structure.	Inyanga ngoyena mba uphambili ubeka imihla yeeSabatha eziPhakamileyo, kwaye ilandelela indlela ejikelezayo emajukujukwini njengoko ijikeleza umhlaba kwindlela yayo ejikeleza ilanga.

Ukuba lo mzekeliso wawuyintelekelelo nje, ngoko akukho lwazi olusebenzayo lunokufunyanwa kwiikhowudi zesiphumo. Nangona kunjalo, ulwazi oluvezwa zii-triplets ngokwalo lwakhiwe kakhulu kwaye lunxibelelene newotshi yeOrion.

Ebudeni beli xesha lomgwebo, uThixo waqeqesha waza wabahluza abantu bakhe ukuze bahlule abo babeza kusetyenziselwa ukwenza indima ye-144,000 XNUMX. Wabanika imiyalelo nesohlwayo yaye oku kwaba luvavanyo kubo. Imele ingcebiso kunye nomyalelo Awunika ngamnye wethu. Abo baya kubalwa belumkile ekugqibeleni ngabo baya kuthi ngokuthobekileyo bafumane umyalelo kunye nesohlwayo kwinyathelo ngalinye lenkqubo.

Live icebo, ulwamkele uqeqesho, Ukuze ulumke ngexesha elizayo. ( IMizekeliso 19:20 )

Aba ngabo baya kukhanya ekupheleni, bekhanyisela umhlaba ngesigidimi sengelosi yesine.

Abo ke banengqiqo baya kukhazimla njengokukhazimla kwesibhakabhaka; nababuyisela abaninzi ebulungiseni bakhazimle njengeenkwenkwezi ngonaphakade kanaphakade. ( Daniyeli 12:3 )

Olu luhlu lulandelayo lubalula olunye ulwazi olutyhilwe kuhlalutyo olongezelelweyo.

• I-codon yokuqala yenzeka ngokukhawuleza ngaphambi kwe-1844, ukuqala kwewotshi ye-Orion, kwaye imele imiyalezo yengelosi yokuqala neyesibini.

• Ulandelelwano lupheliswe ngemithendeleko yasekwindla ka-2015, ngexesha elifanayo ukuba iwotshi ye-Orion iphela (unyaka wokugqibela e-Orion yi-2014, esukela ekwindla 2014 ukuya ekwindla 2015).

• Icodon yonke enemiqolo ephindwe kabini ithatha ixesha apho isigidimi sokugqibela sesilumkiso (ukuzala kwesigidimi sengelosi yesine) sinikwa ihlabathi.

• Iikhowudi ezifanayo ezichanekileyo ze-1888-1890 triplet (kungekhona nje ezimbini zokuqala, kodwa zonke ezintathu) ziphindaphindiwe kwi-triplet yokugqibela, i-2013-2015. Zihlobene kuba zozibini ezi zithathu zibonisa ixesha lokubuya kukaYesu.

• I-1861-1863 i-triplet ikhomba kumbutho osemthethweni webandla, kwaye iikhowudi ezifanayo ziphinda-phindwa kwi-triplet ye-2010-2012, ebonisa ukuphela kokusebenziseka kombutho wecawa (owathi ikamva lakhe latywinwa ekwaphuleni kweSabatha yeNdalo ekupheleni komgwebo wabafileyo ngo-Oktobha 2012).

• I-1915-1917 triplet yalatha ekufeni kuka-Ellen G. White ngowe-1915 kunye nokuqulunqwa kweNkomfa Jikelele yengxelo yokuqala yentsebenziswano namanye amahlelo ngowe-1917.^[74] Iikhowudi ezifanayo ziphinda-phindwa kwi-triplet yowe-1986-1988, xa icawa yajoyina ngokuphandle intlangano ye-ecumenical njengenyathelo lokugqibela kwinkqubo yokumanyaniswa nenkolo enye yehlabathi.

• Kukho izihlandlo ezisixhenxe kanye ezimalunga neminyaka engama-24 kulo lonke uludwe eziyimbonakaliso yamathuba angama-24 eminyaka esi-7 kwiwotshi yeOrion, kanye njengokuba ingcwele yasemhlabeni (elusekelwe kuyo uLuhlu lweSabatha Ephakamileyo) iyimbonakaliso yengcwele yasezulwini eOrion.

• Azikho ezinye iitriplets ezenzekayo ngeli xesha ezineekhowudi zokuqala ezimbini kwezi zintathu zifana ngqo ne-triplet yereferensi (1888-1890). Oko kukuthi, akukho zi-codon zokumisa ngaphandle.

• I-1935-1937 i-triplet ikhomba ekuqaleni kweTheology yesiZukulwana sokugqibela. Ngeli xesha, u-ML Andreasen wabhala waza wapapasha (ukwenzela iinkokeli zecawa ngo-1937^[75]) isifundo sakudala se Inkonzo Yengcwele, ebeka isiseko sale mfundiso yobuthixo. Ibonakala kakhulu kwi Ukufowuna okuphezulu ukuba UMyalezo weNgelosi yesine usibizela kuye.

• I-triplet yowe-1959-1961 iphawula ukugwetywa kukaML Andreasen yicawa kunye nokuphela komzabalazo ochasene nokuqonda okuphosakeleyo kwemvelo yomntu kaYesu, isiqalo saso siphawulwe kwi-Orion.

Ezi mpawu ekuhambeni kwexesha zichonga iimfundiso eziphambili eziyimfuneko ukuze kuzalisekiswe injongo ye-144,000 njengoko kuchaziwe ngaphambili. Zonke zibonakaliswe kwi iseti yokomfuziselo yoshicilelo lweDNA, njengomzekeliso wokuphindaphinda ubuntu bukaYesu kwabali-144,000 XNUMX abaya kugqibezela ubulungiseleli Bakhe emhlabeni, bezizitya ezihlanjululweyo kuziqu zabo, elungiselelwe uMoya oyiNgcwele ukusebenzisa. Isigidimi ngokwaso sithatyathwe kwiiSabatha eziPhakamileyo, eziquka oku umntu ozincamayo owabonakaliswa nguYesu emnqamlezweni.

Ukuba uyakholelwa ukuba olu lunxulumano luyimeko nje yokwenzeka, kuya kufuneka ube nengcaciso yokuba kutheni ezi "zehlo zamathuba" zibonakala zinxibelelene ngabom. Ngaba unokuchaza ukufana okunomxholo kwiwotshi yeOrion? Isibakala nje sokuba iziphawuli zayo zexesha ziyimbonakaliso yezo wotshi yeOrion, zize ziphele kanye ngelo xesha lonyaka, kufanele zibe bubungqina obaneleyo bokususa onke amathandabuzo ngolwalamano lwabo! Yongeza koku imixholo engqinelanayo ne-DNA eshicilelwe kunye nomnqamlezo kaYesu, kwaye kukho ubungqina obuninzi. NguMnye kuphela onolwazi nobuchule obungenasiphelo, owazi isiphelo kwasekuqaleni, onokuthi aququzelele iintshukumo zeLanga neNyanga ukuze zihambelane nembali eyenzeka eMhlabeni. Ngaba uyawuva umculo weengqukuva? Njengoko iNyanga ilanda indlela yayo entle, ejikeleza iLanga, kunye noMhlaba, zivakala imigca yazo ehambelanayo kwiokhestra yasezulwini. Incoko ekhawulezayo ye iimpawu ezibonisa isiphelo, izalisekisa isingqisho sebass sikaOrion, konke oko kwenzeka ngexesha eligqibeleleyo loMdali. Ngaba uyaliva ilizwi njengamanzi amaninzi? Unga funda ingoma ukuba abali-144,000 XNUMX bacule njengoko besela loo manzi baze bagcine ixesha nekwayala yeenkwenkwezi?

Ngaba uyayiqonda ngoku, loo nto Ngokwenene uThixo uyaligcina ixesha? Ngalo lonke ixesha iwotshi yaKhe, abo bagcina ixesha kunye Naye beva ukubetha kwentliziyo yothando lwakhe olukhulu kwaye bayakhuthazwa ukuba balandele kumzekelo waKhe. Mamela ngokusondeleyo oko kubetha kwentliziyo kwaye wongeze ilizwi lakho kwingoma emnandi yabahlobo bethu basezulwini.

Isizukulwana sesithathu nesesine

le Isitya SexeshaULuhlu oluPhezulu lweSabatha-lusinika umgangatho wokulinganisa. Kufuneka siwuphakamise umnqamlezo ngomzekelo wethu ekubambeni izithembiso zikaThixo kwaye sifunde ukuzoyisa kwaye sivumele ubulungisa bukaYesu bukhanye ngathi, ukuze bonke batsaleleke kuye. Ngaba siye sayalela ubomi bethu ngokufanelekileyo? Ngaba uyayikhumbula indlela uYesu awasisikelela ngayo umkhonzi osisilumko owanika intsapho yakhe ukutya ngexesha elifanelekileyo?^[76]

UThixo wanyula iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist ukuba libe ngumlawuli phezu kwendlu yakhe; ukuzisa ehlabathini isonka sobomi.

Ngubani na ke loo mkhonzi uthembekileyo, uqondayo, eyathi inkosi yakhe yammisa phezu kwabendlu yayo, ukuze abanike ukudla ngexesha elifanelekileyo? Unoyolo loo mkhonzi, iya kuthi yakufika inkosi yakhe imfumane esenjenjalo. Inene ndithi kuni, iya kummisa phezu kwayo yonke impahla yayo. ( Mateyu 24:45-47 )

Ngaba ibandla liye lathembeka, njengomkhonzi osisilumko? Okanye ngaba ilandele ikhondo lomkhonzi ongendawo?

Ukuba ke loo mkhonzi ungendawo uthe entliziyweni yakhe, Inkosi yam ilibele ukuza [“Akezi ngokukhawuleza njengoko iOrion isitsho”]; Aze aqale ukubabetha abakhonzi kunye naye, nokutya nokusela namanxila [landela umzekelo wehlabathi]; iya kufika inkosi yaloo mkhonzi ngemini engayilindeleyo, ize Ngelixa angalaziyo [kuba walugatya ulwazi lwexesha], imsike kubini, immisele isabelo sakhe nabahanahanisi; khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo. ( Mateyu 24:48-51 )

Umkhonzi okhohlakeleyo wayengumhanahanisi, kuba wayethanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya, nakuba wayesithi ungumlungiseleli weNkosi. Ukukhanya kwengelosi yesine kwaqalisa ukufika ebandleni ngowe-1888, kodwa njengomkhonzi ongendawo, iinkokeli zebandla zabuthanda ubumnyama bazo zaza zakuthiya ukukhanya.

Ke lona umgwebo ngulo ukhanyiso [uMoya oyiNgcwele] lifikile ehlabathini, baza abantu bathanda ubumnyama ngaphezu kokhanyiso; kuba imisebenzi yabo ingendawo. Kuba bonke abenza okubi, bayaluthiya ukhanyiso; akezi ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ingohlwaywa. ( Yohane 3:19-20 )

Ngokumisela iinkolelo ezingokwesithethe njengomlinganiselo obalaseleyo wenyaniso kunokuba ngokuzithoba babuyele eZibhalweni ukuze bafundisise ukuze baqonde enoba iinkolelo ezingokwesithethe zazifuna ukusulungekiswa kusini na, ngokuqinisekileyo banqula izithixo ngokungathi babenqula umfanekiso wegolide! Yaye uthini uThixo ngokunqula abanye oothixo?

Uze ungaqubudi kwezo nto, ungazikhonzi; ngokuba mna, Yehova Thixo wakho, ndinguThixo onekhwele; ubuvelela ubugwenxa booyise koonyana, kwesesithathu nakwesesine isizukulwana sabandithiyileyo; Uwenzela amawaka inceba [yezizukulwana^[77]] kwabo bandithandayo, abayigcinayo imithetho yam. ( Eksodus 20:5-6 )

Njengoko imbali yakwaSirayeli ibonisa kabuhlungu, ubugwenxa booyise buqhubela phambili ukusa kwizizukulwana ezizayo ngaphandle kokuba kugqitywe uhlaziyo olungaguqukiyo. Kodwa kufutshane nomgudu onzima wokholo ofunekayo ukwenza oko, abantwana bamkela izono zooyise, yaye baya kuvelelwa ngomgwebo kaThixo.

Ngokudibeneyo, usapho lukaThixo lumelwe yicawe, ngoko ke “oobawo” abangoyihlo nje oqhelekileyo, kodwa kufuneka baqondwe njengootata bokomoya ebandleni. Ziinkokeli eziphembelela ibandla kwicala elithile. Ngexesha lokuphoxeka okukhulu, “icawa” yayiseliqela elitsha abantu abatsha—abaninzi ababekwishumi elivisayo namashumi amabini eminyaka ubudala—yaye bafundisisa ngokunyanisekileyo omnye nomnye ngeziprofeto neemfundiso zeBhayibhile. Babeyiqonda ingqiqo nomyalelo weZibhalo yaye babekwazi ukuqiqa ngesizathu esithile. Babemthanda uYesu yaye babelangazelela ukumbona esiza ebomini babo, kwaza oku kwabakhokelela ekubeni bazahlulele kuye ngokupheleleyo, belilahlile ihlabathi, bekulungele ukunyamezela nantoni na eyimfuneko kwintshukumo ababezimanya nayo noThixo ababemthanda.

Ngethuba le nkonzo iququzelelwa ngokusesikweni, uninzi lwaba bantu banye, ngoku abakwiminyaka yabo ye-30 nama-40, ngabo ababekhokele ekuphuhlisweni kwayo. Imifanekiso esinayo ngabo yathatyathwa xa babebadala, kodwa kwiminyaka yokuqala yecawa, “oovulindlela” bethu babebatsha ngendlela ephawulekayo! Sekunjalo, babenamava okufundisisa nokufundisa iimfundiso ezingathandwayo yaye bezazi kakuhle iiBhayibhile zabo. Ngenxa yentsikelelo kaThixo ekungcwalisweni kwabo, baphumeza okuninzi ngemithombo yabo embalwa namanani aphantsi.

The Isitya Sexesha yahlulahlulwe yangamaxesha asixhenxe aphakathi kweminyaka engama-24-25—ubude obamkelekileyo besizukulwana namhlanje.^[78] Kusithatha isizukulwana ngesizukulwana kwimbali yecawe, sisalatha iimvavanyo eziphambili abantu abaye badlula kuzo njengoko isizukulwana esitsha ngasinye sizisa isimilo saso kunye neembono emsebenzini. Olona vavanyo lwalusesichengeni kwakuxa uMoya oyiNgcwele weza kubazisela inyaniso entle yobulungisa ngokholo ngowe-1888.

Ngeli xesha, abanye babaseki babengasekho, kwaye isizukulwana esitsha sathatha ubunkokeli obuphambili, obungazange budlule kwiimvavanyo ezininzi zokholo njengoko benzayo oovulindlela bokuqala. Babesele bekhululeke ngakumbi kwihlabathi, bengasamthobeli uThixo, yaye bengakulungelanga ukubandezeleka ngenxa yenyaniso.^[79] Ezi mpembelelo zichuliweyo zabakhokelela ekubeni bengaqondi ukuba bajonge imbonakalo yangaphandle neempazamo zabathunywa, kunokuba bawuvavanye umyalezo wabo ngokwelizwi likaThixo. Ikratshi labo lala ukuvuma ukuba ukukhanya okukhulu kunokuza ngezandla zabanjalo, yaye bona wamcekisa uMoya oyiNgcwele nje ngeziphumo.

Yayibubugwenxa obu, kwaye babengoobawo abanetyala bekhokela ibandla. Ngenxa yoko, baphulukana nethuba lokugqiba umsebenzi baze bangene ezulwini. Ngaphezu koko, isizukulwana esilandelayo sokukhokela sibalandela, silahlekelwe lilizwi lesiprofeto elenze lukhulu ukugcina ibandla lihambelana. “Apho kungekho mbono bayatshabalala abantu.^[80] Bandula ke bakhululwe ukuba balandele ikhondo labo lokulalanisa ngaphandle kwelizwi elingaguquguqukiyo lesohlwayo lokuwathintela. Yaba sisizukulwana sokuqala emva kooyise ababenetyala.

Kodwa kanye njengokuba uYoshuwa noKalebhi babethembekile kwaSirayeli, bakho abo bahlala bethembekile phezu kwazo nje ezo zimo zengqondo zazixhaphakile. Phakathi kwaba kwakukho noML Andreasen, owavela njengomphengululi odumileyo ebandleni ngelo xesha, eyathi iNkosi yamnika omnye umtha wokukhanya kwesigidimi sengelosi yesine kubantu baYo. Kodwa umoya owawuxhaphakile wesi sizukulwana sesibini awuzange ukwamkele ukukhanya njengokuba ookhokho babo becawa bakwenza ngowe-1888, baza bamgatya kunye nesigidimi awasinikelayo, de ekugqibeleni bayirhoxisa imvume yakhe yobufundisi.

Ithemba Lirhoxiswe

Iinkcukacha ezinomdla malunga neli xesha liziswa ekukhanyeni ngumjikelo weJubilee. Iwotshi yeOrion amanqaku ukuya ku-1540 BC njengonyaka abathi oonyana bakaSirayeli bangena eKanan, kwiLizwe Ledinga. Lo yayingunyaka wokuqala wokubalwa kweNtlokoma, yaye inikela intsingiselo ecacileyo kwiNtlokoma njengexesha elinxibelelene nokungena kwiLizwe Ledinga lasezulwini! INtlokoma yayibakho ngonyaka osemva kwesabatha yesixhenxe—rhoqo kwiminyaka engama-49. Ukuqala ukubala kwethu ukusuka kwi-1540 BC, kwaye ukubala imijikelo yeNtlokoma engama-70 (iminyaka engama-3430), isizisa kanye ukuya kwiAD 1890!^[81]

Lo ngunyaka kanye uEllen G. White awayebhekisela kuwo, njengaxa kwangeniswa iLizwe Ledinga lasezulwini! Kanye kwiminyaka emibini ngaphambili, uMoya oyiNgcwele wafuna ukuzisa imitha yokukhanya yokuqala yesithunywa sesine. Omnye umjikelo ongakumbi weNtlokoma usizisa kowe-1939, yaye le yiminyaka emibini kanye emva kokuba uAndreasen epapashe umsebenzi wakhe owawusenzela iinkokeli zecawa, equlethe ukukhanya okongezelelekileyo okuvela kwingelosi yesine! Ukuba icawa yayiguqukile yaza yakwamkela oko kukhanya, ngekwakukwimeko elunge ngakumbi ngoku ukwamkela inyaniso!

Kunoko, kwisizukulwana ngasinye esilandelelanayo, baye batshona ngakumbi nangakumbi kudaka lweengcamango neendlela zabo eziphosakeleyo. Ezi nkokeli zingazingcwalisanga zaqhubela ibandla kumanyano nehlabathi ngawo onke amandla azo, zisenza buthathaka iimfundiso ezikhethekileyo zaza zathelela esidlangalaleni imibutho yeecawa. Obu bubungqina besizukulwana sesithathu nesesine sooyise becawa ababonakalisa intiyo yabo kuThixo ngowe-1888.

Isizukulwana sesine sinyukele ebunkokelini malunga nexesha leJubhile elandelayo ngo-1988. Oku kukwaphawulwe kwiVessel of Time, kodwa kwakungekho kukhanya. Iphawulwe njengebala elimnyama, eliphelisa i-triplet xa imbewu yatyalwa ngo-1917 "ngokubambisana" nezinye iinkolo, yakhula yaba yimithi esele ikhulile isiqhamo sayo sokuqala esikrakrayo sokuvuthwa ngo-1986, xa ibandla lajoyina esidlangalaleni intlangano ye-ecumenical, ngaphandle kwayo yonke imizamo yoMoya oyiNgcwele ukuzisa uhlaziyo. Kuloo Jubhile ingenanto, icawa yaphinda yawukhaba ngawo wonke umzamo woMoya oyiNgcwele kwizizukulwana ezidlulileyo, kwaye yagqiba umanyano nehlabathi ngokunyanzeliswa kwayo kukhuseleko lomthetho ngo-1988.^[82] Ngamanye amazwi, ibandla lamenza buhlungu uMoya oyiNgcwele. Loo ndlu yashiywa yinkangala.

Umzobo 5 ukuvelela ubugwenxa booyise koonyana, kwesesithathu nakwesesine isizukulwana.

UThixo wayenamangqina amabini okanye amathathu awayewafuna ngaphambi kokuba agwebe ukufa. Akusayi kubakho Minyaka yeNtlokoma kulo mhlaba. Kodwa kukho into enokufundwa nakule. Unyaka weJubhile wawusoloko ingunyaka olandela unyaka wesabatha, kwaye ukuba sibala iminyaka yesabatha ukusuka kwisabatha ye-1987, sifumanisa ukuba zine kanye, apho isine siqala ekwindla ka-2015.^[83] Iyonke inani leminyaka yesabatha ukususela ekuchasweni kwesigidimi sika-1888 li-18. Ezi sabatha ezili-18 (ezithi zibonakale kwamanye amaxesha aneempawu zokuzifanisa) zimele ithemba elibe lihlehlisiwe: into eyayinokwenzeka ekuqaleni ihlehliswe imijikelo eli-18 de ibe inzaliseko yayo engathandabuzekiyo ngoku.

Ukulindela okubanjezelweyo kubulala intliziyo; ngumthi wobomi. (IMizekeliso 13: 12)

Isipho soMoya oyiNgcwele sinxulunyaniswa ngakumbi nemijikelo yeJubhile. Iiveki zokoqobo ezisixhenxe minyaka le zazibalwa ukususela kumthendeleko wezonka ezingenagwele de kube nguMthendeleko weeVeki, okanye iPentekoste, owawufanekisela ukuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele okwafunyanwa ngabafundi bakaYesu kwangaloo mini. Ezo veki zisixhenxe zimela iiveki ezisixhenxe zeminyaka (iisabatha) zeNtlokoma, kwaye kwakungaloo Yubhile ikhethekileyo yamashumi asixhenxe awathi uMoya oyiNgcwele wayeya kube uwugqibile umsebenzi wakhe wokukhanyisa ihlabathi liphela, ukuba waye wamkelekile waza wathandwa!

Kangangemijikelo emide yeNtlokoma engama-70—malunga namawaka amathathu anesiqingatha eminyaka—uMoya Oyingcwele wawusebenza ukuze wenze uhlobo lokungena kukaSirayeli kwiLizwe Ledinga lube yinto yokwenene yokungena ezulwini. Kodwa njengokuba uSirayeli wamandulo wawachasa amangqina athembekileyo kubungangamsha beLizwe Ledinga (uYoshuwa noKalebhi) waza wafuna ukubuyela eYiputa, ngokunjalo noSirayeli wokomoya (iBandla lamaSabatha amaSabatha) wawachasa amangqina athembekileyo obulungisa ngokholo (Jones & Waggoner) ngowe-1888 waza wafuna ukubuyela kubumnyama awayebakhuphe kubo uThixo. Njengoko isizukulwana sesine saqalisa ukukhokela kwi-triple 1986-1988, babelufezile olo sukelo.

Baziwa Ngeziqhamo Zabo

Kodwa ngelo xesha, isizukulwana sesine sobunkokeli sasisandul’ ukuqalisa, yaye kwakufuneka ixesha elithile ukuze kubonakale isiqhamo sobunkokeli babo. Njengoko abantwana besisiqhamo, okanye inzala, yabazali kwaye befunda imikhwa nenkcubeko yentsapho, ngoko ulutsha lwecawe lufunda imikhwa nenkcubeko yecawa, kwaye isiqhamo seenkokeli zayo.

Abo babugatyayo ubulungisa bukaYesu ngokholo, bashiywa ukuba bavelise isiqhamo sobuntu babo. Kodwa bonke abalwamkelayo ubulungisa bukaYesu ngokholo, isimilo saKhe sibonakaliswa ebomini babo njengoko bebeka ukholo lwabo ekukhokeleni kwakhe. onke amanqaku ovavanyo yeSikhephe seXesha. Aba baba li-144,000 njengoko betywinwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele ukutyhila ngokupheleleyo isimilo saKhe ngexesha elimisiweyo.

La maqela mabini ebekho ebandleni, abakholwayo abangabantwana baka-Abraham ngokokholo;^[84] nabangevayo, abangoonyana bakaMtyholi ngokungakholwa.^[85] Yaye wathini uYesu? “Nina nenza imisebenzi kayihlo.” UYesu wathi siya kubaqaphela abaprofeti bobuxoki ebandleni benyaniso ngokujonga iziqhamo zabo.

Balumkeleni abaprofeti ababuxoki, abeza kuni ngezambatho zeegusha, ngaphakathi ke beziingcuka eziqwengayo. Nobaqonda ngeziqhamo zabo. Ngaba abantu bakha iidiliya emithaneni enameva okanye amakhiwane enkunzaneni? ( Mateyu 7:15-16 )

Ngeli xesha, ngexesha lomgwebo wabaphilileyo, uThixo ujonge isiqhamo sesi sizukulwana sesine sobunkokeli. Isiqhamo sobunkokeli babo sinokubonwa kulutsha lwethu. Kwaye sibona ntoni, ngokubanzi, ukuba sijonga isiqhamo sesizukulwana sesine? Sihlala sithetha “ngomkhosi wolutsha,” nokuba bakhawuleza kangakanani ukuthwala umyalezo wevangeli bawuse ehlabathini, kodwa kufuneka “baqeqeshwe ngokufanelekileyo” ukuze bafaneleke:

Sinomkhosi wolutsha namhlanje [1893] ngubani onokwenza okuninzi ukuba zalathiswa kwaye zikhuthazwa ngokufanelekileyo. Sifuna abantwana bethu bayikholelwe inyaniso. Sifuna ukuba basikelelwe nguThixo. Sifuna bathathe inxaxheba kwizicwangciso ezicwangciswe kakuhle zokunceda olunye ulutsha. Bonke mabaqeqeshwe ukuze bayimele ngokufanelekileyo inyaniso, benikela ithemba elingaphakathi kwabo, bemzukisa uThixo kuwo nawuphi na umsebenzi abafanele ukuwenza. {ChS 30.3}^[86]

Ngomkhosi wabasebenzi njengolutsha lwethu, uqeqeshwe ngokufanelekileyo, ingabonelela, hayi indlela kamsinyane ngayo isigidimi somnqamlezo, owavuswayo, noza kwakamsinya, uMsindisi esinokuthi sithwalelwe kulo lonke ihlabathi! {Ed 271.2}^[87]

Kodwa asifuni ukugweba ngokungafanelekanga. Ngokuchasene nenkolelo eqhelekileyo, uYesu wasiyalela ukuba sigwebe, kodwa sikwenze ngobulungisa:

Musani ukugweba ngokwembonakalo; gwebani ngomgwebo olungisayo. (UJohn 7: 24)

UPawulos ukwacacile ukuba ngubani esifanele sigwebe-abo bangaphakathi kumzimba wokholo:

Kungoku ke ndinibhalela ukuba maningazidibanisi nokuba nabani na lowo kuthiwa ngumzalwana uhenyuzo, nokubawa, nokuba ungumkhonzi wezithixo, nokuba ungumtshabhisi, nokuba ulinxila, nokuba ungumphangi; Maningatyi nonjalo. Ndinamsebenzi mni na ukuba ndigwebe nabangaphandle? Anigwebi abangaphakathi na? (I-1 Kor. 5: 11-12)

Ngoko sifanele sijonge phi, ekubeni singenakuyifunda ngokuthe ngqo intliziyo? Ngaba kukho imiqondiso ebonakalayo esinokuyibona ethetha nesimilo sikabani ezintliziyweni zabo? Ewe zikhona! Kwasekuqaleni, yayilunxulumano lokuqala olwenziwe nesono. Ngelixa uAdam esitya isiqhamo, baba nokuqonda okothusayo okwabethelelwa ngonaphakade engqondweni yomntu:

Aqabuka amehlo abo bobabini; bazi ukuba bahamba ze; bathunga amagqabi omkhiwane, bazenzela imibhinqo. ( Genesis 3:7 )

Yini na ukuba bebengaqondi ukuba bebenganxibanga ngaphambili? Ngaba ibingayi kucaca ngakumbi, njengokuba injalo kumzobo ozobabonisa? Okanye uThixo unako “igqunyiwe [bona] ngesambatho sobulungisa”^[88] kwaye baba ze xa uAdam wonayo waza waphulukana nobo bulungisa? Umphumo okhawulezileyo wesono yaba kukuphulukana nesigqubuthelo—ukubhencwa kwehlazo lobuze babo.

Esi sisihloko esibucayi kakhulu, kuba abantu baziva ngokukhawuleza "bagwetywe" xa uthetha ngempahla yabo. Kodwa ukuba sizimisele ngoYesu, siya kwenza oko kulungileyo, kwanokuba oko kuthetha ukuma njengobhontsi obuhlungu.

Esebenzisa uEllen G. White, uThixo wanika iBandla lamaSabatha isiluleko esikhulu ngokuphathelele iingqiqo ezinxulumeneyo zempilo nesinxibo, yaye ezi zimelwe kwiOrion yitrone yetrone yesandla Sakhe sasekunene.

Isimilo somntu sibujonga ngokwendlela yokunxiba enxitywayo. Othobekileyo, umfazi ohlonela uThixo uya kunxiba ngokundilisekileyo. Incasa ecocekileyo, ingqondo ehlakulweyo, iya kutyhilwa ekukhethweni kwesambatho esilula, esifanelekileyo .... Lowo ulula nongazenzisiyo kwisinxibo sakhe nakwisimilo sakhe ubonisa ukuba uyayiqonda loo nto umfazi wokwenene ubonakala ngokuziphatha kakuhle. Indlela enomtsalane, enika umdla ngayo, ukulula kwisinxibo, nto leyo ngobuhle obunokufaniswa neentyatyambo zasendle. {CG 413.5}^[89]

Eneneni, indlela esinxiba ngayo ithetha lukhulu ngento esiyiyo noko sifuna abantu bakuphawule. Iifashoni zale mihla zixhomekeke kuzo, zitsala umdla kubantu abazinxibileyo. Isinxibo esithozamileyo silathisela ingqalelo ebusweni, obufanele bubengezele ngozuko lukaThixo! Ukucoceka, ucwangco, nokuthozama kuyindlela yezulu, yaye ukuba singabemi balapho, siya kufuna ke ukwamkela ezo mpawu kwisinxibo sethu nakwindlela esiphila ngayo, yaye oku kusebenza kumadoda nabafazi. Ubumsulwa obumnandi bamantombazana amancinci buhlala bube mnyama ngoomama abanxibe ngokungaziyo iimpahla ezingafanelekanga. Kodwa abafazi abakhulileyo kufuneka balondoloze ubumsulwa babo obumnandi ngokunjalo!

UYesu wawenza wacaca umgaqo wokuba umthetho wesixhenxe uphathelele okungakumbi kunokuba neentlobano zesini nabantu abatshatileyo.

Nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungakrexezi. Ke mna ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu okhangela umntu oyinkazana, ukuba amkhanuke, uselemkrexezile entliziyweni yakhe. ( Mateyu 5:27-28 )

Kambe ke, lo mthetho awubhekiseli ebantwini. Umgaqo uthi wonke umntu ‘unesilili somtshato’ esingcwele uThixo asiyalele ukuba sihlale sinyulu. Ukuba utshatile, yigcine inyulu ngokunyaniseka kwiqabane lakho kwaye ukhwebuke kwimikhwa ehlazisayo, kwanaphakathi kwenu. Ayizizo zonke izenzo zesondo ezamkelekileyo kubudlelwane obumnandi nobungcwele. Ukuba akutshatanga, gcina isilili sakho somtshato sicocekile ngokugcina ubunyulu bengqondo yakho (ingakumbi amadoda) nomzimba (ingakumbi abafazi). Oku kunokwenziwa kuphela ngokufumana isimilo sikaYesu. Bubulungisa obuphuma elukholweni; ubunyulu ngokholo.

Kulucelomngeni kumabhinqa ukufumana iimpahla ezifanelekileyo nezikwimeko yehlabathi ewohlokayo. Iibhulukhwe kunye nempahla evezayo okanye eqinileyo, njengoko iqhelekile kwisinxibo sabasetyhini abadumileyo, itsalela ingqalelo kwiimpawu zesini zomzimba, eziphikisana nenjongo yokuthozama.

Iziketi ezimfutshane, iibhulukhwe ezimfutshane, umphezulu osikiwe kancinci, unqunyulwe, okanye umtya wespaghetti, okanye iimpahla ezibhalwe okanye ezihombise amalungu esini wonke, zonke zisebenza ukutsala ingqalelo kwezo ndawo. Akukho nanye kwezi fashoni ebonisa ukuthozama nje kwentombi kaThixo, kwaye qiniseka ukuba, akukho nanye ifana neempahla eziya kunxitywa ezulwini!

Amabhinqa amaninzi asenokuvakalelwa kukuba afanele anxibe ngendlela yokubonisa ukuze azive elungile. Baye bawa ngenxa yobuxoki bemithombo yeendaba ukuba ixabiso lomfazi lisemzimbeni wakhe (kwaye amadoda ajika iintloko avuma). Kodwa akunjalo. Ixabiso lakho likuYesu, owanikela ngako konke ukuba akuthenge kwakhona.

Amehlo enzelwe ukugxila kwizinto ezichaseneyo kunye nobunye. Bafumana ngokuzenzekelayo iingcebiso zeentolo okanye amanqaku e-V-necks okanye indawo yokuhlangana yemilenze yebhulukhwe. Impahla enezi mpawu ngokuqinisekileyo iya kutsala ingqalelo yeliso elijikelezayo.

Akufunekanga uzive uthintelwe ngenxa yezinto ezimdaka zakudala, nangona kunjalo. Umgaqo wokuthozama awukho, njengoko abaninzi bewubeka ngempazamo, malunga nokunceda amadoda ukuba angonganyelwa sisihendo seengcinga ezivuselela inkanuko. Oko bekuya kuba kukubonakalisa ulwazelelelo, kodwa umntu ohlonel’ uThixo unengqondo kaKristu, yaye ukubona abafazi abanxiba ngokungandilisekanga, abazizidenge okanye abaziziyatha akabangeli mdla kuye, kwanokuba banentliziyo entle. Kuye, baswele ubulumko bokugubungela ubuze babo nobudenge; uyasebenza lo mzekeliso:

Njengelitye legolide ethatheni lehagu, bunjalo ubulungisa [entle] umfazi ongenangqondo. ( IMizekeliso 11:22 )

Ukuthozama nokungazihoyi kukuzihlonela kwakho njengomfazi, nokuzukisa uYihlo osemazulwini. Yaye leyo yinto etsalwa yindoda yobuthixo. Ibhinqa eliyiqondayo le migaqo kwaye linxibe ngendlela ecocekileyo kunye nokuthozama kwabasetyhini kunye nokulula bubuncwane obuxabisekileyo. Akukho namnye omele avumele inkcubeko ukuba ibaqinisekise ukuba kulungile ukutshatyalaliswa ngokunxiba iimpahla ezifanayo (okanye ezingcono nje kancinane) ezinxitywa ngumntu wonke, okanye ukwenza ngendlela efanayo wonke umntu. Ukuba ungumntwana kaThixo, makubonakale! Iya kuba yimpembelelo entle kwabo bakungqongileyo!

Kwangokunjalo mabathi nabafazi banxibe iingubo ezifanelekileyo, beneentloni, benesidima; Ingabi kukuphotha iinwele, nokunxitywa kwegolide neeperile, nesambatho esixabiso likhulu; mabathi (ngokufanele abafazi abathi bahlonela uThixo), bavathe imisebenzi elungileyo. ( 1 Timoti 2:9-10 )

Umtshato lilungiselelo elingcwele elifanele lithatyathwe nzulu kakhulu, ngaphambi nasemva kokuba ungenwe kulo. Umthetho wesixhenxe ufuna ukuba ulwalamano olusenyongweni lomtshato lumele lulondolozwe ngokuthozama yaye lugcinwe phakathi kwendoda nomfazi wayo kuphela. Abo bangatshatanga bafanele balathisele ingqalelo yabo kwizinto zasezulwini, baze bafumanise olona lwalamano luphakamileyo nolutyebileyo lolwalamano noThixo. Ngumthetho wesixhenxe ovavanyiweyo ngeli xesha, nokuba utshatile okanye akutshatanga.

Ufunyenwe Ufuna

Ukuba sijonga isiqhamo sesizukulwana sangoku-ulutsha lwethu ebandleni-kwaye sibuza ukuba ngaba baqeqeshelwe ngokufanelekileyo ukoyika uThixo nokumzukisa, sijongene nenyaniso eyoyikekayo. Kwanakumakhaya abalaseleyo, abo bangqongwe ziimpembelelo ezichuliweyo zeenkokeli ezingathembekanga bakwimeko embi kakhulu. Ngaba bakulungele ukutywinwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele? Ngaba baziphengulula ngokunyanisekileyo iZibhalo ukuze basiqonde ngcono isiprofeto nemfundiso? Okanye ngaba ubomi babo bubonakala bubudenge, amampunge, nokuthanda iziyolo?

Ngaba “kukunika ithemba labo” ukudlala imidlalo yeBhayibhile njengoko sidla ngokubona kwiinkqubo “zoLutsha LwamaSabatha,” ugqatso lomhlobo wakho ukuze afumane igama elithile kumaphepha emibhalo engcwele? Okanye ngaba ube ngowokuqala ukuphendula ngendlela echanileyo eminye imibuzo engenamsebenzi yeBhayibhile? Ngaba olu luqeqesho olufanelekileyo abalufunayo? Kutheni le nto uninzi lwabo luthi cwaka ngendlela enganyamezelekiyo xa ubabuza ukuba kutheni bekholelwa kwimfundiso ethile? Kukho umfuziselo wokuhlonela uThixo, kodwa akukho kukohlwaya.

Kodwa leliphi iqela esilifumanayo ulutsha lwama-Adventist namhlanje? Iklabhu esemthethweni, exhaswa yicawa yolutsha liqela elidumileyo lePathfinders. Ufumana ntoni ukuba ujonga kwi Camporee yamazwe ngamazwe walo nyaka? Ngokuqinisekileyo uya kufumana ulutsha oluninzi olunokuzinikela okwakwenziwa ngabakwishumi elivisayo ngowe-1844, xa babekholelwa ukuba uYesu wayesele eza kufika. Ngapha koko, ukuba ubunokubuza nawuphi na kubo, ngokuqinisekileyo bebeya kukuxelela ukuba uYesu uyeza kamsinya!

Kodwa okulusizi kukuba, inyaniso yahluke ngokupheleleyo. Asifumani nabuphina ubungqina bokuba iBhayibhile yakha yavulwa. Kodwa imifanekiso emininzi ithunyelwe ngokungenazintloni kwiwebhusayithi ye-camporee ebonisa ukungahoywa okothusayo nakuphi na ukuthozama okanye umgangatho wokuziphatha! Umntu uba noluvo lokuba okungafanelekanga kuyazukiswa!

Eqongeni umboniso wamantombazana. Ngaba uyayibona indlela yokunxiba? "Akukho nto ingaphezulu kwe-20 cm, nceda!"
Ezi zishumi elinesithandathu zethu ezimnandi ziboniswa ngaphandle kweentloni! Oku akuzange kwenzeke eNineve!

Xa ndithetha inyani, ndineentloni zokuquka le mifanekiso, kodwa kubalulekile ukuba uqonde into uThixo aphantsi kwayo yonke imihla! Ngaba uyayiqonda indlela okumkhubekisa ngayo oku kuYe? Kangangamashumi eminyaka, uye wenza umgudu omkhulu wokuqeqesha abantwana Bakhe ukuba babe njengeenyibiba zasendle ezinuka kamnandi, kodwa endaweni yoko, kukho ivumba eliqhubekayo lenyama ebolileyo elinyukela empumlweni Yakhe lijike isisu Sakhe! Ngaba iyamangalisa into yokuba Yena kungekudala zihlanze womlomo Wakhe njengomnenga webali lomxholo wecamporee?

Ifoto enye ukusuka "kwimisebenzi yamanzi" ingcolile kakhulu ukuba ingabandakanywa apha, kodwa ithunyelwe ngaphandle kwe-blush kwiwebhusayithi esemthethweni ye-camporee!^[90] Ngaba siye saphulukana nayo yonke ingqiqo yokuba sibeka amakhwenkwe akwishumi elivisayo anamantombazana akwishumi elivisayo kuyo nantoni na afuna ukuyinxiba—okanye anganxibi?! Ngaba sele silibele ukuba le yiminyaka efuna inyameko ekhethekileyo nokukhuselwa ngokomoya kwiimpembelelo eziwohlokayo zehlabathi? Ngaba asikhathali kwaphela ukuba abantwana bethu baphula umthetho wesixhenxe? Umgaqo womthetho wesixhenxe ngowokugcina ubungcwele nobunyulu besipho sobudlelwane obusondeleyo ngexesha elifanelekileyo—kwimida yolwalamano lomtshato oluthambileyo, olunothando noluzinikeleyo phakathi kwendoda nomfazi. Kodwa yonke le nkampu yayizele ngabakrexezi abatsha nabakrexezikazi, abangavumiyo ukubekela imizimba yabo emtshatweni, kodwa baya kubhenca kanye kangangoko banokubaleka. Kwaye okubuhlungu kukuba, yiloo nto kanye yonke into, ngenxa yokunqongophala ngokupheleleyo komgaqo-siseko kubazali kunye neenkokeli zecawa zokuqondisa abantwana babo ukuba bazigcine benyulu kwaye benyulu.

Ikwayala yamanenekazi eculela ubhaptizo. Ngokucacileyo akukho ntlonelo ngomsitho ongcwele wobhaptizo.
Ngaba baya kwenza phambi koThixo benxibe ngendlela efanayo?

Abazali bamele babalawule abantwana babo, balungise iminqweno yabo, baze babalawule, okanye Inene, uThixo uya kubatshabalalisa abantwana ngemini yokuvutha komsindo wakhe, nabazali abangababambeleliyo abantwana babo, bangabi msulwa. Ingakumbi abakhonzi bakaThixo bafanele bazilawule iintsapho zabo baze bazithobe kakuhle. Ndabona ukuba abakulungelanga ukugweba okanye bagqibe kwimicimbi yebandla, ngaphandle kokuba bayakwazi ukuzilawula kakuhle izindlu zabo [oku kuquka ukuba nemigangatho elungileyo elawulwa ngayo]. Kufuneka kuqala babe nocwangco ekhaya, kwaye ke umgwebo nempembelelo yabo iya kuxela ebandleni. {1T 119.2}^[91]

Umxholo wale nkampu wawusithi “Ukhwankqisiwe lubabalo” kwimeko yenguquko yaseNineve kwisilumkiso sikaYona. Kuyamangalisa, xa ucinga ngokusebenza kwala mazwi kaYesu:

Amadoda aseNineve aya kusuka eme ngomgwebo nesi sizukulwana, asigwebe; ngokuba baguquka ekushumayeleni kukaYona; kwaye, khangela, omkhulu kunoYona nanku apha [uMoya oyiNgcwele kwimvula yamva]. (UMateyu 12: 41)

Nokuba uyafuna okanye awufuni ukusivavanya esi siqhamo, uThixo uyafuna, kwaye Uya kubuvelela ubugwenxa booyise kwizizukulwana ezidla ubomi namhlanje; ngenxa yokuba bahamba ngendlela efanayo, bemkela iziphoso ezifanayo, nomgangatho wembewu yabo uyangqina oko. Ngaba uyalazi ixesha lotyelelo?

Kanti nengwamza ezulwini iyawazi amaxesha ayo amisiweyo; nehobe nehlankomo nendwe ziligcinile ixesha lokufika kwazo; ke bona abantu bam abalazi isiko likaYehova. Ningathini na ukuthi, Sizizilumko, umyalelo kaYehova unathi? Yabona, ukwenze kwafuza; usiba lwababhali luyalambatha.... Badana, ngokuba benze amasikizi? hayi, ababanga nazintloni, ababanga nazintloni; ngako oko baya kuwa phakathi kwabawayo; ngexesha lokuvelelwa kwabo baya kukhubeka; utsho uYehova. (Yeremiya 8: 7-8,12)

Umthi omuhle awukwazi ukuvelisa iziqhamo ezimbi, nomthi onenkohlakalo awunakuvelisa isiqhamo esihle. Wonke umthi ongavelisi siqhamo sihle igawulwe, iphoswe emlilweni. Ngenxa yoko niyazazi ngeziqhamo zabo. (UMateyu 7: 18-20)

Ibandla likaThixo libe dikidiki, lingacalula nobuze balo. Alikholiseki kuThixo, yaye amalungu alo angenamandla okuzahlula kwintlangano egwetyiweyo aya kufumana kwizibetho zayo.^[92]

Ngoko ke, ngenxa yokuba udikidiki, ungabandi, ungeshushu; Ndiya kukuhlanza uphume emlonyeni wam. Ngokuba uthi, Ndisisityebi, ndizityebisile, andiswele nto; ube ungazi ukuba uludwayinge, ulusizana, ulihlwempu, uyimfama; kwaye ze: ndiyakucebisa, ukuba uthenge kum igolide evuthiswe emlilweni, ukuze ube nobutyebi; neengubo ezimhlophe, ukuze wambeswe; ukuze lingabonakali ihlazo lobuze bakho; nentambiso yamehlo, uthambise amehlo akho, ukuze ubone.

Mna, bonke endibathandayo ndiyabohlwaya, ndibaqeqeshe; zondelela ngoko uguquke. ( ISityhilelo 3:16-19 )

Kunini na, ziziyatha, nithanda ubuyatha? Ke bona abagxeki bakuyonela ukugxeka; Izinyabi zithiya ukwazi? Nithe ​​nabuyela ekohlwayeni kwam, Niyabona, ndowumpompozisela kuni umoya wam, Ndonazisa amazwi am. Ngokuba ndinibizile, anavuma; Ndisolule isandla sam, akwabakho ukhathalayo; Nesuka nalitshitshisa icebo lam, Anavuma ukohlwaywa kwam; Nam ndiya kukuhleka ukusindeka kwenu; Ndiya kuphoxisa ngani na ekufikeni koloyiko lwenu; Ekufikeni kwenu njengesiphango ukunkwantya kwenu, Kufike njengesaqhwithi ukutshabalala kwenu; xa nifikelwa yimbandezelo nayimbandezelo.

Baya kwandula bandibize, ndingaphenduli; Baya kundifuna kwakusasa, bangandifumani; Kuba bakuthiya ukwazi, Abakunyula ukoyika uYehova, Abalivuma icebo lam, Basigiba sonke isohlwayo sam. Ngako oko baya kudla kwisiqhamo sendlela yabo; Bazele ziingcinga zabo. Kuba ukuphamba kweziyatha kuyazi bulala, Nobunqobo bezinyabi buyazitshabala lisa. Ke yena ondivayo uhleli ekholosile, Wonwabile ekunkwantyiseni kobubi. ( IMizekeliso 1:22-33 )

Into yonke inexesha elimisiweyo, nomcimbi wonke unexesha lawo phantsi kwezulu. ( INtshumayeli 3:1 )
