Sonke siyayazi ukuba le vesi yeBhayibhile ilandelayo inxulumana ngantoni:
Lathi ilizwi endalivayo liphuma emazulwini, labuya lathetha nam, lisithi, Hamba uye uyithabathe incwadana evulekileyo, esesandleni sesithunywa esimi phezu kolwandle naphezu komhlaba. Ndesuka ke ndaya kuso isithunywa, ndathi kuso, Ndinike incwadana leyo. Wathi kum, Yithabathe, uyidle uyigqibe; yenze krakra isisu sakho, kodwa emlonyeni wakho yoba mnandi njengobusi. Ndayithabatha ke incwadana esesandleni sesithunywa eso, ndayidla ndayigqiba; yaye emlonyeni wam inencasa enjengeyobusi; yaye xa ndayidlayo, saba krakra isisu sam. ( ISityhilelo 10:8-10 )
Incwadi evuliweyo yinxalenye yokugqibela yencwadi kaDaniyeli ukususela kwiSahluko 8 ukuya phambili, eyavulwa okokuqala nguWilliam Miller. Nabani na unokufunda ezincwadini Impikiswano Enkulu kwaye UKrestu Kwingcwele Yakhe, nkqu nakwi Kubhala kwangaphambili, okwenzekayo ukutyhubela iminyaka njengoko uMiller wayeqalisa ukushumayela. Wayeyifundisise nzulu iBhayibhile kangangeminyaka emihlanu waza wafikelela kwisigqibo sokuba uKristu wayeza kubuya ngowe-1843 (1844). “Ukutya incwadi” kaDaniyeli kwakufuzisela ukufunda kwakhe, yaye ubumnandi emlonyeni walo mprofeti babufuzisela ithemba elimnandi lokubuya kwakamsinya kukaYesu.
Kwandula ke kwafika uKuphoxeka Okukhulu kowe-1844, baza abo babenenxaxheba kuko baziva sisisu esikhulu esibuhlungu xa kwakufuneka baginye ipilisi ekrakra yokuba umhlaba wawungamele ucocwe ngomlilo, kodwa ingcwele yasezulwini kwakufuneka idlule kwinkqubo yokucoca eyayiza kuthabatha iminyaka emininzi ngakumbi.
Imfundiso yethu yeNgcweliso yavela kule mpazamo inye kodwa inesiphumo sikaMiller malunga nokutolikwa kwendinyana ethile yeBhayibhile:
Wathi kum, Koda kube ziintsuku ezingamawaka amabini anamakhulu mathathu; yohlanjululwa ke ingcwele. ( Daniyeli 8:14 )
Emva koKuphoxeka Okukhulu, oovulindlela bethu baqonda ngokufanelekileyo ukuba ingcwele eyayiza kuhlanjululwa yayingeyiyo eyasemhlabeni kodwa yayiyingcwele yasezulwini. Ngo-Oktobha 22, 1844, uYesu wayengekafiki, kodwa umgwebo wasezulwini, uMhla Wocamagushelo okanye uYom Kippur waqala: Umgwebo ophandayo wabafileyo ... owawuza kuphela ngomgwebo wabaphilayo.
Yayingekoyabo ukwazi ukuba kwakuza kuthabatha ixesha elingakanani uMgwebo, kodwa thina baphila ekupheleni koMgwebo kufuneka sazi. Ekuseni umntu uya emsebenzini engazikhathazi ngexesha kuba esazi ukuba unemini yonke, kodwa xa sele kusondele usuku, umntu uthi krwaqu ixesha kuqala ngaphambi kokuba agqibe ngomsebenzi olandelayo. Ngokufanayo, thina baphila ekupheleni kweMini yoMgwebo kufuneka silazi ixesha ukuze sinikele ingqalelo kumsebenzi wethu kaThixo ngendlela efanelekileyo ebudeni ‘bemizuzu’ embalwa eseleyo. Mandabelane nawe ngendlela lo mbuzo oye wabumbeka ngayo kumava am.
Koda kube nini, Nkosi?
Ekupheleni kuka-2004, ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiye eParaguay ukuya kwenza umsebenzi wobufundisi kuThixo. Ndandithandazele ilize ithuba elingaphezu konyaka ndaza ndazibhengeza njengomfundisi-ntsapho wesiNgesi okanye isazi ngekhompyutha kumaqela amaninzi abavangeli basemazweni bamaSabatha, kodwa ndagatywa kuyo yonke indawo ngenxa yokuba “ndikhulile” ngeminyaka engama-45 ubudala. Emva koko uThixo wayitshintsha imeko yam yemali ngendlela emangalisayo, ukuze emva konyaka womthandazo ndivule i-mission station ngezam izibonelelo. UThixo wayendilungiselele intlawulo yenyanga kanye yeminyaka elishumi kwilifa elalivela kumama, endandicinga ukuba lilahlekile kangangeminyaka engama-24. Oko kwandibeka phambi kwesigqibo esinzima.
Ndandihlala kwisiqithi esihle saseMallorca kwaye ndisebenza njengengcali ezimeleyo ye-IT/computer. Abathengi bam ubukhulu becala yayingamaJamani azizityebi, awayezakhele amakhaya eholide okanye abantu abadla umhlala-phantsi kwesi siqithi. Kwiminyaka ethile ishishini lam ladodobala lisiba libi ngaphezu kokulungileyo, yaye ngokufuthi kwakufuneka ndiphile ngokusuka komnye umntu. Ndandisoloko ndisecicini lokuphelela esitratweni, ingakumbi ngexesha lasebusika kuba ndandingenabathengi. Phantse ngaxeshanye nokuvulwa kwakhona kwelifa elidala, ishishini lam laqala ukuchuma emva kokubandezeleka iminyaka esibhozo. Ngaphandle kweblue, ndiphumelele umniki-inshurensi omkhulu kunye nomthengisi wezabelo owaziwayo kwihlabathi njengabathengi kunye nesikhululo seenqwelomoya saseMallorca sibuyele kum, kuba bendinobudlelwane obuhle nabo. Andifuni ukunika nawaphi na amanani, kodwa ngequbuliso ndaba nemali eninzi esandleni kangangokuba ngendiyiqeshe ngokulula iBoris Becker Villa ukuba ndihlale kuyo.
Ukusukela ukuba inkqubo yelifa (endingazange ndiyisebenzele) yagqitywa ngam ngoDisemba ka-2004, ukuphela kweentlawulo zenyanga zeminyaka elishumi kwafika kuDisemba ka-2014 kwaye kunokuba “zindilisekile” xa kuthelekiswa nomvuzo ophuma kwiNkampani yam yeIT yomntu omnye eMallorca. Kodwa sekunjalo, ndandinokukhetha ukuphila ubomi bebutho eliphakamileyo njengosomashishini osisityebi kwisiqithi esinelanga laseMallorca, okanye ndibambelele kumnqophiso endawenza noThixo ngowe-1999, endamthembisa kuwo ukuba ubomi bam buya kuba bobakhe kuphela. Ndandisele ndinonyaka ndithandazela indlela yokuya kwilizwe elihlwempuzekileyo ebufundisini bukaThixo. Ngoku ndandinazo iindlela ngelifa ... kodwa oko kwakuthetha indlela yokuvalelisa kwinkampani, eyathi emva kweminyaka esibhozo yobunzima nentlupheko yade yaphela.
Niyayazi nonke ukuba ndigqibe njani. Ndibeke iqela lam njengomnikelo ezinyaweni zeNkosi kwaye ndakhulula bonke abaxhamli bam. Baphoxeka kakhulu kangangokuba bada bandinika imali engakumbi, kodwa akukho nto yayinokundithintela ekuncameni ubutyebi bam nokugcina isithembiso sam kuThixo. Ndabona ukuba inkampani yam iqhushumbe kuphela kuba uSathana wayefuna ukubeka umgibe.
Ndandisenengxaki kodwa. Iintlawulo zenyanga endandiza kuzifumana zazikwinkqubo-sikhokelo eyayingandivumeli nakuphi na ukutsiba okukhulu. Umnqweno wam yayikukukwakha indawo yokunyamekela impilo yendalo eParaguay, kodwa ndandingalazi ilizwe neemeko. Kwakukho iindlela ezizezinye... ikhaya leenkedama, isikolo sabavangeli basemazweni, isikolo seBhayibhile ... nokunye okuninzi.
Ndandifuna ukwazi ukuba yintoni na uThixo awayethanda ukuba ndiza kuyakha eParaguay. Yaye ndandivakalelwa kukuba oko kwakuya kuxhomekeka ekubeni lingakanani na ixesha endandiza kulithabatha ukuze ndiphumeze icebo likaThixo. Ndathandaza ndaza ndabuza uThixo ukuba yintoni na ukuthanda Kwakhe, nokuba kwakuza kufuneka ndimenzele “into” ixesha elingakanani eParaguay.
Kulo mthandazo unzulu, ndifumene kuqala kuwo onke amacebiso alandelayo:
“Ukuba ufuna ukwazi ukuba lingakanani ixesha eliseleyo, kufuneka uqale apho bebeyeke khona oovulindlela. Qala kuDaniyeli 8:14 uze ungene engcweleni.”
Eli cebiso linokufumaneka eBhayibhileni, kwiNdumiso yesiprofeto kaKumkani uDavide:
Ndathi xa ndicinga ukuba ndiyazi oku, bekubuhlungu kakhulu kum; Ndada ndaya kungena ezingcweleni zikaThixo; ndasiqonda ke isiphelo sabo. (INdu. 73: 16-17)
UDavide wayezibuza ukuba kuya kude kube nini na abantu abangendawo bephumelela. Kwaye impendulo yaloo mbuzo yayifihlwe kwindawo engcwele. Kuphela ngabo babeza kungena engcweleni ababenokufumana impendulo kumbuzo wokuba laliza kuthabatha ixesha elingakanani ixesha lobabalo.
Umthandazo wam wawungekapheli, ndaza ndabuza uThixo ukuba wayefuna ukuthini ngaloo nto. Kuphi kwindawo engcwele apho ndingayifumana khona impendulo efihliweyo kumbuzo wam? Kwakuthetha ukuthini ukuba kwakuza kufuneka ndiqalise apho babeyeke khona oovulindlela?
UThixo waphendula waza wandixelela ukuba impendulo iseBhayibhileni yaye wema kanye apho kwakubhalwa indinyana ehambisana noDaniyeli 8:14 . UDaniyeli 8:14 ufuzisela kungekuphela nje isiqalo somgwebo wophando kodwa ukwangumfuziselo wentshukumo yeMillerite, kwaye ifuziselwa yincwadi encinane yesiTyhilelo 10 eya kuba kukudana okukrakra esiswini.
Ukuprofeta Kwakhona
Oovulindlela abafikayo basikelelwa ngokuyiqonda ingcwele yasezulwini emva kokuphoxeka, yaye njengokuba inyaniso yeSabatha yavela ekukhanyeni, ngokukhawuleza baqonda ukuba bamele baqhubeke beshumayela isigidimi sengelosi yesithathu ngokungqinelana nendinyana elandelayo:
Sathi kum, Umele ukuba ubuye uprofete ngabantu, neentlanga, neelwimi, nookumkani, abaninzi. ( ISityhilelo 10:11 )
Hayi indlela ekukuhle ngayo ukuhamba ekukhanyeni size siqinisekiswe liLizwi likaThixo ngoloyiso nangokuphoxeka ngokufanayo! Ngokwahlukileyo koko, ezinye iicawa zamaProtestanti zizimbela awazo amangcwaba ngokugatya isiprofeto sangokuhlwa nesasekuseni ezingama-2300. Kubo, esona siprofeto sikhulu kwiBhayibhile iphela asizange sishiye nto ngaphandle kwamaqhekeza. Ngaloo ndlela, iicawa zamaProtestanti, ezazikhe zathi “sola scriptura,” zaphulukana nelungelo lazo elisisiseko lokuphila; ukususela ngoko ukusa phambili, bayigqala iBhayibhile njengenesiphene, yaye basahamba ebumnyameni ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla. Kwakhona bayayigatya iSabatha yomhla wesixhenxe ngenxa yesizathu esifanayo.
IsiTyhilelo 10:11 saqinisekisa kuma-Adventist angaphambili ukuba umsebenzi wawo yayikukushumayela isigidimi sengelosi yesithathu, kodwa ayeka ukuzalisekisa isiprofeto esisemva kwaloo ndinyana. Kwale ndinyana ilandelayo isinika imiyalelo ecacileyo yokusinceda siqonde ukuba lingakanani na ixesha eliza kufuneka ukuze kuhlanjululwe ingcwele. Phawula ukuba izahluko zezahluko namanani eendinyana eziseBhayibhileni akaphefumlelwanga, yaye kule meko ukwahlulwahlulwa kwesahluko kukwindawo engaqhelekanga. Masifunde iivesi ngokuqhubekayo:
Sathi kum, Umele ukuba ubuye uprofete ngabantu, neentlanga, neelwimi, nookumkani, abaninzi. Ndaza ndanikwa ingcongolo, ifana nentonga; saye isithunywa eso simi, sisithi, Suka uyilinganise itempile kaThixo, nesibingelelo, nabo banqulayo bekuyo. ( ISityhilelo 10:11–11:1 )
Ngoku masilandele imiyalelo yesithunywa sezulu kule ndinyana. Kuqala, uthi, “Sukuma, uyilinganise itempile kaThixo.” Kuboniswa ukuba sifanele sisebenzise ingcongolo esiyinikwe yingelosi ukulinganisa ngayo. Le ngcongolo ivela kwakhona kwiSahluko 21:
Lowo ubethetha nam wayenelizwi ingcongolo yegolide ukuba ndiwulinganise umzi lowo, namasango awo, nodonga lwawo. Umzi lowo umbombo-ne, ubude babungangobubanzi bawo. Wawulinganisa umzi lowo ngengcongolo; ishumi elinambini lamawaka eeitadiya. ubude nobubanzi nokuphakama kwawo kuyalingana. Walulinganisa nodonga lwaso; ikhulu elinamanci mane anesine leekubhite; ngokomlinganiso womntu, oko kukuthi, owengelosi. (Isityhilelo 21: 15-17)
Apha sifumanisa ukuba ingelosi isinika imilinganiselo emibini yeYerusalem Entsha emva kwewaka leminyaka. Oku kubonakala kululwazi oluxabisekileyo ekuphenduleni isicelo sethu, ngoko masiyiqaphele:
- 12,000 iiitadiya (isixeko)
- 144 iikubhite (udonga)
Umfundi oneliso elibukhali usenokuzibuza ukuba kutheni siyamkela imilinganiselo ephathelele “isixeko” xa siyalelwa ukuba silinganise “itempile.” Lo mbuzo uphendulwe nguJames White, owathi Ilizwi kumhlambi omncinane ichaza ukuba sonke isixeko seYerusalem eNtsha, esingayi kuba natempile emva kwewaka leminyaka, ngokwaso siya kuba yitempile:
ITEMPELELO KATHIXO
“Yaza yavulwa itempile kaThixo emazulwini, yabonakala ityeya yomnqophiso wakhe etempileni yakhe.”— ISityhilelo 11:19 .
Indlu kaThixo apho ityeya yomnqophiso wakhe isemazulwini; UPawulos oNgcwele ngoxa esembonweni, wabanjwa phezulu izulu lesithathu, okanye iparadesi esikholelwa ukuba yiYerusalem Entsha. Igama elithi izulu, lisetyenziswa kwezinye iindawo ezisecaleni kweYerusalem Entsha, bona Gen. 1:8 ne-17; ISityhi. 14:6 . Kodwa njengoko zingenayo iTempile kaThixo, ndimele ndikholelwe ukuba izulu elineTempile kaThixo, yiYerusalem Entsha. IYerusalem endala, neTempile yayo yayimifuziselo yeYerusalem eNtsha, neTempile kaThixo ekuyo. Ityeya enamacwecwe amatye, athe uThixo wayibhala ngawo ngomnwe wakhe imithetho elishumi, yabekwa kweYona Ngcwele. Xa uYohane wayenombono wokuvulwa kweTempile eNtsha yaseYerusalem, wawubona umkhombe ukwindawo enye ngokomfuziselo, ukuba wawukumfuziselo.
Ke ngoko, kucacile ukuba iYerusalem Endala, iTempile yayo, kunye nefenitshala yaloo Tempile, zinemifuziselo eyahlukileyo eParadesi. Loo Paradesi yanyuswa emhlabeni emva kokuwa komntu, icacile, njengoko kungekho ndawo injalo emhlabeni ephendula ingcaciso yayo eyanikelwa nguMoses. — Gen. 3:23,24, 2 . Kwakhona, umprofeti uthi: “Yabonani, kuya kufika ilixa, eya kuthi le miqondiso izaliseke le miqondiso ndinixelele yona, abonakale uMtshakazi; - 7Esdras, 26:XNUMX. Iziseko, iindonga, namasango, iYerusalem eNtsha, ngokuqinisekileyo zenziwe eParadesi, ukususela ekubeni iYerusalem endala yayakhiwe: ukuba akunjalo, ngoko eNtsha, indala kuneNdala. UAbraham ngokholo wayelindele esi Sixeko “sineziseko; kodwa akazange alindele ukuyifumana, de abathembekileyo bavuswa. ITempile yeJerusalem endala yayakhiwe ngenjongo yokunqula uMnqophiso oMdala. ITempile, okanye iNdawo eNgcwele yeYerusalem eNtsha, apho uKristu angumfundisi wayo, iNkosi yamisayo hayi umntu, ngenjongo yokunqula uMnqophiso oMtsha. Ngoko ke, xa uKristu egqibile ubulungiseleli bakhe kwiNgcwele yaseZulwini, waza wabakhulula abantu bakhe, akusayi kuphinda kusetyenziswe iTempile eNtsha yaseYerusalem, kunokuba kwakunjalo kwiTempile eseYerusalem eNdala, emva kokuba uYesu ebethelele umthetho wesiko emnqamlezweni. UYohane wasibona isiXeko esiNgcwele xa siya kuhla, Isityh. 21:10, ekupheleni kweminyaka eli-1000, ISityhilelo 20:7-9 , wathi, “Andibonanga tempile kuso: kuba iNkosi uThixo uSomandla nayo iMvana yitempile yaso.”— ISityhilelo 21:22 . Akasixeleli ukuba kwenzeke ntoni na ngaloo nto; kodwa ukuthetha kwakhe ukuba akaboni tempile kuyo ngelo xesha, ibonisa ukuba wayekha wabona enye khona. ISixeko esiNgcwele sibizwa ngokuba nguMnquba kaThixo, Isityh. 21:3; Yi. 33:20; kodwa ayibizwa njalo, ide ibe imi kuMhlaba oMtsha. Esi sixeko sikwabizwa ngokuba yiTempile kaThixo, Isityh. 17:15 [7:15]; kodwa hayi bade abangcwele bavuswe, bahlanganiselwe esiXekweni, apho baya kukhonza uThixo “imini nobusuku.” Ngoko isiXeko esiNgcwele sisodwa, siya kuba nguMnquba, okanye iTempile kaThixo.
{Ilizwi kumhlambi omncinane}
Nangona kunjalo, ezi zimilinganiselo zomgca kwaye azisiniki nantoni na ngexesha. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba kufuneka sazi imilinganiselo yomgca kunye nexesha? Siza kubona, kodwa kuqala makhe siqhubeke siye kwinxalenye elandelayo yemiyalelo yendinyana 11:1 size silinganise ‘isibingelelo. Singayifumana phi imilinganiselo yesibingelelo? Ingelosi eyayilinganisa isixeko esingcwele ayizange isixelele nto ngesibingelelo. Noko ke, wasinika umkhondo omele siwujonge xa ekhankanya ukuba ikubhite yengelosi “ingokomlinganiselo womntu.” Kwakukho nenye indoda eBhayibhileni eyanikwa imilinganiselo yetempile kaThixo ngokwengcongolo yokulinganisa.
Ngemibono kaThixo wandisa ezweni lakwaSirayeli elo, wandibeka phezu kwentaba ephakame kakhulu, phezu kwayo kwanjengesakhiwo somzi ngasezantsi. Wandisa khona: nanko umntu, okubonakala kunjengokubonakala kobhedu, ephethe intsontelo yeflakisi ngesandla, nelinen emhlophe. ingcongolo yokulinganisa; wema esangweni. ( Hezekile 40:2-3 )
UHezekile wasibona isixeko saseYerusalem esinetempile yaso embonweni yaye wanikwa imilinganiselo yaso emininzi. Le tempile ayizange yakhiwe ngokwenene, yaye kangangamawaka eminyaka abafundi beBhayibhile bebezibuza ukuba inokuthetha ntoni. I-Adventist Bible Commentary ibeka ukuba isenokuba sisiprofeto esinemiqathango esingazange sizaliseke. Ubani usenokude azibuze enoba yayingumbono weYerusalem eNtsha na, kodwa loo mbono iphikiswa ngokukhawuleza sisibakala sokuba uHezekile wabona amasikizi amaninzi enziwa kuyo awayengayi kwenziwa kwiYerusalem yasezulwini. Kungekudala siza kufumanisa ukuba ingumzekelo weBandla lamaSabatha, elithetha lukhulu ngokwalo. Okwangoku, sikhangela ulwazi olubaluleke kakhulu olufihliweyo phakathi kwemilinganiselo yalo.
Mininzi, mininzi imilinganiselo enikelwe kwezi zahluko zilandelayo, nakwisibingelelo kuphela. Singazi njani ukuba ngowuphi umlinganiselo esiwufunayo? Khumbula ukuba sikwiphulo lokufumanisa ukuba isigwebo sophando kufuneka sithathe ixesha elingakanani. Kungumbandela wexesha, yaye ukuza kuthi ga ngoku imilinganiselo esiyifumene kwiSityhilelo asiyomilinganiso yexesha. Kuya kufuneka sijonge umlinganiso wexesha, kwaye eneneni sifumana kanye enye ehambelana nesibingelelo:
Iintsuku ezisixhenxe bosihlambulula isibingelelo, basihlambulule; bazingcwalise. (UHezekile 43: 26)
Le ndinyana ayisinikeli nje umlinganiselo wexesha kuphela, kodwa umlinganiselo esinika wona unxulumene ngokuthe ngqo nokuhlanjululwa kwengcwele okuyiloo nto kanye siyifunayo. Phawula ukuba ngaloo mihla, ababingeleli babeza kuzingcwalisa. Njengombandela wokuzihlolisisa, ama-Adventist ngokukodwa, aye aphethe imfundiso yengcwele, afanele azibuze ukuba ngaba bebezingcwalisa njengababingeleli ngeli xesha. Kwanabantu ababemiselwe nguThixo njengababingeleli babengenakukwazi ukukhonza kwinkonzo engcwele de babe baphumeze inkqubo yokusulungekiswa komntu ngamnye. Ngaba ubunikela intliziyo yakho kunye nobomi bakho kwinkonzo kaThixo, ukuze umsebenzele ngala mizuzu yokugqibela yexesha?
Ngoku makhe sicinge okomzuzwana. Yeyiphi itempile ethatha iintsuku ezisixhenxe ukuyicoca? Itempile yasemhlabeni iyakwenza oko. Khumbula ukuba itempile yasemhlabeni ifanekiselwa yeyasezulwini, kanye njengoko wenziwayo umnquba kaMoses ngokomfuziselo wawuboniswa entabeni. Kwakhona siye safunda kwisithunywa sezulu esikwiSityhilelo ukuba imilinganiselo yeYerusalem Entsha “ingokomlinganiselo womntu” okanye ngamanye amazwi, ngokwecebo okanye ngokomfuziselo. Ngaloo ndlela, uHezekile wayibona imilinganiselo ‘yeplani yesakhiwo’ okanye “umzekelo” wengcwele yasezulwini; wabona iqabane laso lasemhlabeni. Oku kuqinisekiswa ngokuphindwe kabini ngumbono kaHezekile ngokwawo.
Wena nyana womntu, Indlu kaSirayeli xelela indlu kaSirayeli, beve ihlazo ngenxa yobugwenxa babo. kwaye mabalinganise umfanekiso. (UHezekile 43: 10)
Kufuneka sazi ukuba kuya kuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukuhlambulula ingcwele yasezulwini, kodwa siyazi kuphela ukuba iqabane layo lasemhlabeni lathabatha iintsuku ezisixhenxe. Apha kulapho intwana yamava njengesicoci sekhaphethi inokuza luncedo. Ukuba igumbi le-100-square-foot lithatha imizuzu eyi-15 ukucoca, kulula ukufumanisa ukuba indlu ye-2000-square-foot iya kuthatha ixesha elingakanani: iiyure ze-5. Bala nje imizuzu eyi-15 ngokuphindaphinda umlinganiselo we-2000 yeenyawo zesquare ezahlulwe nge-100 yeenyawo kwaye kulo mzekelo uguqule isiphumo ukusuka kwimizuzu ukuya kwiiyure. Ixesha lokucoca "lilinganisa" ngokwenani lokucoca kufuneka kwenziwe. Kulo mzekelo, i-square factor is 2000 square feet yahlulwe nge-100 square feet, ezilingana ne-20. (Iiyunithi ze-square feet zicima enye nenye, ngoko ke umlinganiselo okanye isikali sinani nje elicacileyo ngaphandle kweeyunithi.) Kuthatha amaxesha angama-20 ubude ukucoca indlu ye-2000-square-foot xa kuthelekiswa negumbi le-100-square-foot.
Siyazi ukuba ingcwele yasemhlabeni yathabatha iintsuku ezisixhenxe ukuze ihlanjululwe, kodwa yintoni umlinganiselo phakathi kwesicwangciso sasemhlabeni kunye nengcwele yasezulwini ngokwayo? Khumbula ukuba sanikwa imilinganiselo emibini yeYerusalem eNtsha. Ukuba sinokufumana iqabane labo kwisicwangciso sasemhlabeni, sinokumisela umlinganiselo. Yeyiphi imilinganiselo emibini ekufuneka siyijonge? Omnye umkhondo kukuba imilinganiselo yesixeko esikwiSityhilelo ichazwe ngokweestadiya ezinde, kodwa akukho ziitate ezisetyenzisiweyo kwisicwangciso sikaHezekile yaye bekuya kuba nzima ukufumana umbandela wokuguquka. Ngaphezu koko, ingelosi isinika omnye umkhondo kumyalelo wayo olandelayo ukuze silinganise “abo banqulayo kuyo.”
UYesu ungumgangatho wesimilo wokulinganisa abantu, kwaye bonke baye basilela emgangathweni wakhe. Umlinganiselo womntu ngumlinganiselo wesono esimahlulayo kuThixo, nto leyo ekwangumlinganiselo wobungakanani bococeko olufanele lwenziwe entliziyweni yakhe njengombandela wokungcwaliswa. Kungoko esi sicatshulwa singasentla sikaHezekile 43:10 sithetha ngokubonisa indlu kaSirayeli (indlu ka-Adventism) ubugwenxa bayo ngokulinganisa ipateni. Ngaloo ndlela, ingqalelo yethu iziswa kumlinganiselo wesibini esiwuphawule kwiSityhilelo: ukuphakama kodonga olwahlula aboni kubukho bukaThixo. Olu donga luluphawu lokuqala uHezekile alubhalayo.
Kwaye khangela a udonga ngaphandle kwendlu ngeenxa zonke, nasesandleni somntu lowo yaba yingcongolo yokulinganisa, eziikubhite ezintandathu, eyikubhite, enobubanzi besandla. wabulinganisa ububanzi besakhiwo, baba yingcongolo enye; nokuphakama kwaba yingcongolo enye. (UHezekile 40: 5)
Apha sifumanisa ukuba udonga “lwesicwangciso” luyingcongolo enye ubude, okanye ziikubhite ezintandathu. Kweli nqanaba, siyabazi ubude bodonga olwahlulayo olukwisicwangciso sikaHezekile nakwiYerusalem Entsha ngokwemilinganiselo efanayo yeekubhite. Ukuze sibe nobuchule, kufuneka siqinisekise ukuba iiyunithi zethu ziyafana. UHezekile uthi ikubhite esetyenziswa apha ‘yikubhite nobubanzi besandla,’ okanye ikubhite yasebukhosini. Ngaba le yikubhite efanayo neyasetyenziswa kwimilinganiselo yeSityhilelo? Sinokuqiniseka ukuba kwakungenxa yezi zizathu zilandelayo. Okokuqala, ikubhite yasebukhosini yayisetyenziswa kumsebenzi wokwakha wokumkani, yaye kusengqiqweni ukuba yayiza kuba yinxalenye eyayisetyenziswa sisithunywa sezulu seYerusalem Entsha Yasebukhosini. Okwesibini, ingelosi ekwiSityhilelo iwasusa onke amathandabuzo ngokusixelela ukuba imilinganiselo yayo ilingana nomlinganiselo womntu, onguHezekile, ikuphela komntu oseBhayibhileni onento yokwenza nengcongolo yokulinganisa.
Ngaloo ndlela, sinokubala umlinganiselo wesikali ngolu hlobo lulandelayo:
Iikubhite ezili-144 ÷ 6 iikubhite = 24
Ngoku siyazi ukuba kwakuya kuthatha ixesha eliphindwe ka-24 ukucoca ingcwele yasezulwini xa ithelekiswa neyasemhlabeni. Kuba siyazi ukuba ingcwele yasemhlabeni ithatha iintsuku ezisixhenxe ukuhlanjululwa, sinokubala ixesha lokuhlanjululwa kwengcwele yasezulwini:
7 iintsuku × 24 = 168 iintsuku
Oko, kambe ke, kuguqulela kwiminyaka eli-168 yexesha lesiprofeto lokuhlambulula ingcwele yasezulwini, esiyiqonda ngoko nangoko kwisifundo seOrion njengesingqamana nesifungo sendoda ephezu komlambo sokugweba abafileyo. Umgwebo wabaphilayo usaya kufuna ixesha elongezelelekileyo kwiminyaka eli-168, njengoko kuboniswa sisibakala sokuba iintsuku ezisixhenxe zokuhlanjululwa kwesibingelelo azipheleli apho. Ababingeleli babeza kuzingcwalisa ngeentsuku ezisixhenxe, kodwa emva koko iminikelo yabantu yamkelwe. Ukwamkelwa kukaThixo kuthenjiswa ngomhla wesibhozo emva koko ngamadini aqhubekayo:
Ke kaloku, xa zizaliseka ezi mihla, kuya kuba njalo ngosuku lwesibhozo, kwaye njalo, ababingeleli bowenza amadini enu anyukayo esibingelelweni, nemibingelelo yenu yoxolo; kwaye Ndiya kunamkela mna; itsho iNkosi uYehova. (UHezekile 43: 27)
Ngaloo ndlela, iminikelo yabantu eqala “ngomhla wesibhozo” nolandelayo ifana nokugwetywa kwabaphilayo. Eli lixesha apho abafeli-nkolo baya kufa yaye abaninzi baya kubizwa baphume eBhabhiloni. Isiqinisekiso esinikelwe kule ndinyana sithi: “Ndiya kunamkela, itsho iNkosi uYehova.” Igazi labafeli-nkolo lixabisekile emehlweni akhe.
Xa sidityaniswa nesiprofeto seentsuku ezingama-2300 esaphelelwa ngowe-1844, asinayo kuphela impendulo yokuba kufuneka kuthathe ixesha elingakanani ukuhlanjululwa, kodwa kwanesinye isiseko sokushumayela isigidimi sexesha njengesikhalo sikaWilliam Miller ezinzulwini zobusuku. Bahlobo abathandekayo, ngoku siyazi into ekungekho mntu wakha wayazi ngaphambili. Nceda ungavele uhambe ubona amanani kuphela. Ingcwele yasezulwini iyinene; sisiXeko esiNgcwele, iYerusalem eNtsha. Abo baya kuba phakathi kwe-144,000 XNUMX baya kuba negama elithi “iYerusalem Entsha” libhalwe emabunzini abo!
Umongo weSityhilelo 10:11 kuKuphoxeka okukhulu, nalapho ithi, “Umele uprofete. kwakhona,” ibhekisela ngokufanelekileyo kumyalezo wexesha lokukhala ezinzulwini zobusuku owakhokelela kuwo. Yayisisiprofeto sokuBuya kweSibini ekwakufanele ukuba kuprofethwe kwakhona. Ngaloo ndlela, ukushunyayelwa kwesigidimi sengelosi yesithathu kwakungaphelelanga kwinzaliseko yale ndinyana njengoko kwakunjalo ngokushunyayelwa kwesigidimi sexesha sokubuya okusemnyango kukaKristu kamsinya nje emva kokuphela kweminyaka eli-168 yokuhlanjululwa kwengcwele yasezulwini.
Amazwi awasiwa nguHezekile anentsingiselo enkulu ngoku kumxholo wesikhalo “sokwenene” ezinzulwini zobusuku soMyili wesibini:
Nyana womntu, uyintoni na lo mzekeliso ninawo emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli, wokuthi, Imihla iyoluka, iyadaka imibono yonke? Ngako oko yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova; Ndiya kuwenza uphele lo mzekeliso, bangabi sazekelisa ngawo kwaSirayeli; yithi kubo, Isondele imihla, nesiphelo sayo yonke imibono. Ngokuba akuyi kuba sabakho namnye umbono okhohlakeleyo, nokuvumisa okucengacengayo, phakathi kwendlu kaSirayeli. Ngokuba ndinguYehova, ndiya kuthetha; ilizwi endisukuba ndilithetha liya kwenzeka; ayisayi kuba salibala; ngokuba ngemihla yenu, ndlundini ineenkani, ndithetha ilizwi, ndilenze; itsho iNkosi uYehova. Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi, Nyana womntu, yabona, indlu kaSirayeli ithi, Umbono awubonayo yena lo, ngowemihla emininzi; uprofetele amaxesha akude. Ngako oko yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova; Akayi kuba salibazisa amazwi am; ilizwi endilithethileyo liya kwenzeka; itsho iNkosi uYehova. (UHezekile 12: 22-28)
Mininzi imibuzo evulelekileyo kwiNgxelo yethu yeBhayibhile yamaSabatha malunga netempile kaHezekile. Akukho mntu wayeyazi eyona nto yayithethwa yitempile. Ngokuqhelekileyo kwakuqondwa njengento efana noyilo "olugqibeleleyo", kodwa ayizange yakhiwe. Abaphengululi bethu banoluvo lokuba esikaHezekile sasinombandela wesiprofeto esinemiqathango, nokuba wabona itempile eyayiza kwakhiwa ukuba uSirayeli wayengambethelanga uYesu emnqamlezweni. Njengoko sibona ngoku, esi siprofeto sasiyindawo yokuzimela imilinganiso eyayiza kusenza sazi ixesha lokuphela komgwebo wabafi. “Sisitya” esiqulethe iinyaniso ezithile ezikhokelela ngokukhawuleza kufundisiso olumnandi ngokufanayo nesifundo seOrion.
Kwakhona, sisombulule ubuncinane iiphazili ezimbini apho abaphengululi bethu bamagqabantshintshi banokuphuthaphutha ebumnyameni. Ngoku siyayazi intsingiselo yegama elithi ikubhite ekwiSityhilelo “ngokomlinganiso womntu,” ibe sikuqonda ngakumbi oko kuthethwa yitempile engazange yakhiwe kaHezekile nendlela eyingqina ngayo iOrion formula.
Yintoni ekwiFomula?
Ekuqaleni, olu phononongo lubonakala lunika isiphumo esifanayo nesokufunda iOrion nesifungo sikaDaniel 12, kodwa ngaba kunjalo ngenene? Makhe sijonge ngakumbi kwiifomula kwizifundo ezahlukeneyo.
Okokuqala, umgaqo wendoda (uYesu) phezu komlambo kuDaniyeli 12 uthi: UYesu (7) ufunga () kumadoda amabini (2) (12) kwicala ngalinye lomlambo (+). Umlambo uphawula ukubethelelwa kukaYesu yaye ngaloo ndlela wahlulahlula amaxesha amabini embali yoluntu namaqela amabini oluntu elinye kwelinye: lawo afanekiselwa ngoosolusapho abali-12 bezizwe zakwaSirayeli ababekhangele kwikamva loMesiya ozayo nabo bafanekiselwa ngabapostile abali-12 abakhangela emva kwixa elidluleyo nabakholose ngoMsindisi owayefikile. Intetho ibhalwe ngolu hlobo lulandelayo:
(12 × 7) + (12 × 7)
UYesu ubonisa indima yaKhe kwicebo losindiso ngala mazwi; oko kukuthi, unguMthunywa woMnqophiso oMtsha, waze wavelisa ethethelela owabaphilileyo nabafileyo ngedini lakhe. (Abali-144,000 XNUMX babumba abaphilayo.)
Okwesibini, ifomula yenkundla yasezulwini yesiTyhilelo sesi-4 yasinika umbono wokuqala wokuba iya kusebenza njani iwotshi yeOrion. Enkundleni, safumana amalungu amathathu eBhunga likaThixo (3) kunye nezidalwa eziphilayo ezine (4) ezibumba abantu abasixhenxe (7). Abo bangqongwe ngabadala abangamashumi amabini anesine (24). Eli lungiselelo silichaza njengewotshi eneeyure ezingama-24 neminyaka esixhenxe yasemhlabeni engqamana neyure nganye yewotshi. Ke ngoko, ifomula yile:
24 × 7
UThixo uBawo unguMgwebi oPhakamileyo wendalo iphela kwaye nguye owahlala phantsi wavula iseshoni yenkundla. UThixo uBawo wanika iNcwadi yamaTywina aSixhenxe (iwotshi yeOrion) kuYesu, owavula itywina lokuqala ngo-1846 njengegqwetha lethu. Le fomula ibonisa indima kaThixo uBawo njengoMgwebi oPhakamileyo nomlawuli wexesha. Yiyo loo nto inguBawo kuphela owayesazi ixesha eliphambi komgwebo wophando. UThixo uYise unelizwi lokugqibela enkundleni, kwaye uzuko yabangcwele ixhomekeke kuYe.
Okwesithathu, ifomula yengcwele yasemhlabeni ebesiyifunda kweli nqaku kwakhona inomahluko ofihlakeleyo xa kuthelekiswa neefomyula ezimbini zokuqala, nangona zonke zilingana nesiphumo esifanayo sika-168. Kolu phononongo, sifumene umlinganiselo wexesha leentsuku/iminyaka esixhenxe (7) ephindaphindwe ngesikali esingamashumi amabini anesine (24). Ke, ifomula ngumfanekiso wesipili sangaphambili:
7 × 24
I-factor ka-24 yabalwa njengomlinganiselo wokuphakama kweendonga ezimbini ezikhomba umsebenzi woMoya oyiNgcwele kuthi, esicoca ukuze sibe noloyisa udonga lwesono olusahlulayo ezulwini. Le yinkqubo ye ukungcwaliswa.
Zontathu iifomula zihambelana ngokugqibeleleyo enye kwenye kwaye, kunye nobuhle belizwi likaThixo, zibonisa umsebenzi okhethekileyo welungu ngalinye lobuThixo kwicebo losindiso.
Kusekho olunye uthelekiso oluhle. Sele siyibonile indlela ifomyula yengcwele yasemhlabeni ebonisa ngayo indlela yengcwele yasezulwini. Ekubeni ifomula yengcwele yasezulwini yaqondwa ngokupheleleyo yiwotshi yeOrion enamathuba ayo angama-24 ayiminyaka esi-7 lilinye, kufanele kubekho uphononongo oluyicacisa ngokuzeleyo inkqubo yengcwele yasemhlabeni yamathuba asi-7 ayiminyaka engama-24 lilinye, nokwaya kuthi ngokunjalo kuvuleleke ukuqonda kwimbali yeCawa yama-Adventist kunye nekamva lethu.
Iwotshi yeOrion ifuziselwa ziinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe yaye ayibonisi nje kuphela ixesha elidlulileyo kodwa kwanexesha elizayo unyaka yokubuya kukaKristu. Ucinga ukuba olu phando luza kufanekiselwa yintoni? Loluphi ulwazi ocinga ukuba iya kuba nayo? Ngaba ucinga ukuba isenokusinika owona mhla wokubuya kwesibini kukaYesu kwaye mhlawumbi nokuqala kwexesha lenkathazo, umthetho weCawa eYurophu nase-US, ukuvalwa kocango lobabalo, nokunye? Ngaba ucinga ukuba izidalwa zasezulwini ziya kudlala indima kwakhona? Ukuba kunjalo, ziziphi ocinga ukuba zifanele ukumela ingcwele “yasemhlabeni,” ekubeni iinkwenkwezi zazimela ingcwele yasezulwini?
Vuyani kunye nam ngenxa yezityhilelo ezimangalisayo ezivela eNkosini yethu uYesu Kristu, uThixo uYise, noMoya oyiNgcwele, onika ithemba nesibindi kubantu Babo ababandezelekileyo. Qwalasela amazwi omprofeti wokwenyaniso, owayesoloko ethetha inyaniso nangenxa yokuthembeka kwakhe uya kuma kunye ne-144,000 XNUMX ukuze babukele ukusondela kwelo lifu lincinane ekudala lilindelwe.
Ilizwi likaThixo kufuneka libe sisifundo sethu. Sifanele sifundise abantwana bethu ngeenyaniso ezifumaneka kuyo. Bubutyebi obungenakuphela; kodwa abantu bayasilela ukubufumana obu butyebi ngenxa yokuba abafuni bude bube phakathi kwabo. Abaninzi banelisekile kukucinga ngenyaniso. Banelisekile ngumsebenzi obalulekileyo, bethabatha lula ukuba banayo yonke into ebalulekileyo. Bawathabatha njengenyaniso amazwi abanye, bevila, ukuba basebenze nzima, benyameka, bemelwe kukuthi ngokwelizwi. bemba ubutyebi obufihliweyo. Kodwa izinto eziyilwe ngabantu azithembekanga nje kuphela, ziyingozi; ngokuba babeka umntu apho afanele ukuba khona uThixo. Babeka amazwi abantu apho “Itsho iNkosi” ifanele ukuba. {COL 109.1}
Umntu wokuqala ukubala ngokuchanekileyo ukuqala koMgwebo yayinguWilliam Miller. Wayengayazi le ngcaphulo ingasentla, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo wayiphila. Umsebenzi wakhe yayikukuba “bayidle bayigqibe incwadi encinane” yesiTyhilelo 10, njengoko ibhaliwe apho kwiNcwadi yeencwadi ngonaphakade.
Ngokutsho kwephupha lakhe ( Imibhalo Yangaphambili, iphe. 81), enye indoda yayiza kufumana imbeko yokukhokelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele ukuze ifumane ubutyebi obufihliweyo eLizwini likaThixo—ubuncwane obuya kuqaqamba ngokuphindwe kalishumi kunobukaMiller. Obona butyebi bukhulu uMiller awawufumanayo yayisisiqalo somgwebo wasezulwini. Ngowama-2004/2005, kwaqalisa olunye ukuzingela ubutyebi xa “uMiller” wesibini ekwakuprofetwe ngaye wathabatha apho babeyeke khona oovulindlela, waza wafumana into eyayiza kuba “.waphinda waprofeta”—ukuphela komgwebo wasezulwini nokubuya kukaYesu okusemnyango. Oku kuzingelwa kobutyebi okwesibini kwaba nokwenzeka kuphela kuba ndayishiya inkampani yam, abaxumi bam kunye nendlela yokuphila yangaphambili esibingelelweni sikaThixo, kwaye “ndazahlulela” ukuba ndimsebenzele.
Ngaloo ndlela, i okwesibini kwaye yinyani isikhalo sasezinzulwini zobusuku sivakalisa ukuBuya kweSibini kukaYesu sizalisekisa iSityhilelo 10:11 ngokupheleleyo, yaye ISityhilelo 11 sibonisa ukuba asisayi kuphelela ekuphoxekeni kweli xesha. Yiyo loo nto ubutyebi boMyili wesibini bukhazimla ngokuphindwe kalishumi, njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu... kwaye kanye njengokuba iNkwezi yaseBhetelehem yakhokelela izilumko emkhumbini woKumkani osandul’ ukuzalwa, iinkwenkwezi zezulu zikhokelela izilumko zanamhlanje ekufikeni koKumkani wozuko.
