Xa sijonga emva kwindlela uWilliam Miller awabala ngayo umhla wokuBuya kweSibini ngo-1843, kubonakala ngathi akukholeleki ukuba emva kweminyaka elishumi efunda waphoswa yinto yokuba akukho nyaka onguziro phakathi kweminyaka BC kunye neminyaka AD, kwaye akukho mntu wumbi owalandela izifundo zakhe waqaphela impazamo. Xa sijonga umva, siyazi ukuba kutheni impazamo ingazange ibonwe:
Ndibonile ukuba itshathi ye-1843 yayilawulwa ngesandla seNkosi, kwaye akufanele iguqulwe; ukuba imifanekiso yayinjengoko wayeyifuna; ukuba isandla sakhe sasigqithile, sayifihla impazamo kweminye emifanekisweni, ukuba kungabikho uyibonayo, sada sasuswa isandla sakhe. {EW 74.1}
UThixo wayivumela ngabom impazamo. Omnye umphumo owabangelwa koku yayikukuhluzwa kwabo babelandela isigidimi ngenxa yokoyika ukuba sona kungenzeka babenyanisekile kwabo babelandela ngokunyanisekileyo yaye babeza kuqhubeka befuna inyaniso nangona bephoxekile yaye belibaziseka. Ndive amazwi anje, "Bendikulungele ukuthumela le leta yesigwebo kwakamsinya, kodwa bendifuna ukulinda ukuze ndibone ukuba ingqikelelo yakho izokwenzeka kuqala." Amagqabantshintshi afana nala azibamba kakuhle iimvakalelo zabantu abaninzi ngomhla kaMiller abawugatyayo lo myalezo baza baya entshabalalweni.
Esinye isizathu sokuba uThixo avumele isiphoso sisenokuba kukunikela isilumkiso kwangaphambili ngakumbi. Ngokwezibalo zangaphambili, ixesha lesilumkiso—ngaloo ndlela inceba kaThixo—yandiswa. Bangaphi ngokwenene abaxhamlayo kolu lwandiso lwenceba ngumbandela omele ucingisiswe ngumntu ngamnye.
Abanye baye bakhawuleza ukukhomba ukudlula kuka-2012 kwaye basibongoza ukuba silahle ithemba lethu elisikelelekileyo. Kwabanjalo, ayikho enye into endiyibonakalisa ngakumbi kunokuba ndicaphule amava oovulindlela bethu:
…ihlabathi lavuya, laza lathi kuthi, “Niyabona ngoku into ebesinixelele yona—sinyanisile. Ubucinga ukuba wazi ngaphezu kwabamelwane bakho. Hamba ke ngoku, uye kusivuma isono sakho, ubuyiselwe kwisigxina sakho sangaphambili.” Nangona sasingayiboni intsingiselo yamathemba ethu aphoxekileyo, impendulo kwimithandazo yethu yayikukuba, uThixo uya kulithethelela ilizwi lakhe, ‘aliyi kubuyela kuye lilambatha. Yaye eli lizwi lathi, “Ukukhanya kuhlwayelwe ilungisa,” ( IMize. 2:7 , NW , NW. ) [mhlawumbi INdu. 97:11 wayethetha ukuba] kwaye iingqondo zethu zenziwa ukuba ziyilinde. Impendulo yethu yayisithi, zange! Buyela kwintoni? ubumnyama, isiphithiphithi, iBhabheli! Hayi hayi. Sibe namava amaninzi kakhulu amandla nozuko lukaThixo, ukuba sinikezele olu “phawu endleleni yethu.” Ukuba awukho omnye umahluko oza kubonwa, uphawu olunye luqinisekile; sinyanisekile, naza aneneni; {Amanqaku eNdlela yokuZisa okweSibini kunye neeNgxama eziPhakamileyo, BP2 57.1}
Abo balinda ukuba kudlule ixesha ngaphambi kokuba basigwebe esi sigidimi baye babonakalisa ukunganyaniseki kwabo ngokuthi bajonge i-Second Advent. Ngokufihlakeleyo, babengakholelwa yaye bathintelwa kuphela yingcamango eneenkolelo yokuba “mhlawumbi banyanisile.” Abazange bazifundele ngokwabo yaye babengenasiseko solweyiseko lwalo naluphi na uhlobo.
Kwelinye icala, abanyanisekileyo bajonga ngaphaya kokuphoxeka kumava okuhamba ekukhanyeni kukaThixo. Yonke imitha ekhanyisa umendo wabo luphawu lwenkathalo yothando lwakhe ngakubo. Ingcamango nje yokubuyela ebumnyameni ilizothe.
Kweli nqaku, ndiza kukubonisa ukuba Isibini UMiller naye wenza impazamo ngonyaka, kakhulu emva kwepateni yeMiller yokuqala.
Kuya kuthatha ixesha elingakanani?
Makhe sicinge ngoDaniyeli 12 okomzuzwana.
Wathi omnye kwindoda leyo yambethe ilinen emhlophe, ebiphezu kwamanzi omlambo, Koda kube nini na, ukuphela kwezi zinto zibalulekileyo? Ndayiva indoda leyo yambethe ilinen emhlophe, ebiphezu kwamanzi omlambo, ekuphakamiseni kwakhe isandla sayo sokunene nesokhohlo ezulwini, yafunga odla ubomi ngonaphakade, ukuba kuya kuba lixesha namaxesha, nesiqingatha sexesha; yaye xa athe wawachithachitha amandla abantu abangcwele, zonke ezo zinto ziya kugqitywa. ( Daniyeli 12:6-7 )
Esi sicatshulwa siye sacaciswa ngokucokisekileyo kwisifundo seOrion, apho umfuziselo uboniswa uquka ixesha eliyiminyaka eli-168 lokugwetywa kwabafileyo ukususela ngo-Oktobha 22, 1844 ukusa ekwindla lowama-2012. Kwelinye icala, umgwebo wabaphilayo unikelwa ngendlela yokoqobo: “ixesha, namaxesha, nesiqingatha” okanye iminyaka nje emithathu enesiqingatha. Ebudeni bale minyaka mithathu enesiqingatha, amatyala abo bonke abantu abaphilayo afanele agwetywe ukuze asindiswe okanye agwetywe. Umzobo 1 ubonisa ukuba yintoni ukuqonda kwethu ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
Umzobo 1 - Amaxesha oMgwebo, njengoko kuqondwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku
Njengoko siye sachaza kumanqaku athetha ngomhla we-1335, 1290, nowe-1260, ngokwenene ukugwetywa kwabaphilayo kwaqalisa ngentwasahlobo yowama-2012. Kwaqalisa ngokungabonakaliyo, kanye njengokuba umgwebo wabafileyo waqalisa ngokungabonakaliyo ngowe-1844. Waqalisa “endlwini kaThixo,” yaye uya kuqhubeka de kugqitywe onke amatyala. Le nkqubo yeminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha kufuneka ifikelele esiphelweni ekwindla ka-2015, ivalwe iphawulwe nguYom Kippur (uMhla woCamagushelo) kunye neSabatha ePhakamileyo ewela ngo-Okthobha wama-24, 2015.
Kulapho ke ingxaki ingena khona. Ukuba amatyala asagqitywa kude kube yikwindla ka-2015, ingaba ingenzeka na into yokuba izibetho ziqale kunyaka ongaphambili ekwindla ka-2014 njengoko besiqonda ngaphambili?
Izibetho zifika xa uYesu ephelisa ukulamla Kwakhe aze ashiye iNgcwele kaNgcwele, akhulule izambatho Zakhe zobubingeleli, ambathe ingubo Yakhe yobukumkani. Ngelo xesha, ukuncenga kuyaphela, kwaye kwenziwa isibhengezo:
Lowo ulilungisa makahlale engongendawo; nalowo uyinyhukunyhuku, makaselehlala eyinyhukunyhuku; lowo ulilungisa makenze ilungisa, nalowo ungcwele makahlale engcwele. ( ISityhilelo 22:11 )
Kwakuba kuphelisiwe ukuthethelelwa kwingcwele yasezulwini akusayi kuba nako ukuba eminye imiphefumlo isindiswe, kodwa ngeli thuba uYesu esalicenga igazi lakhe, wonke umoni oguquka ngokwenene uya kwamkelwa. Ngoko ke, akunakwenzeka ukuba izibetho ziqale de isigwebo sabaphilayo sigqitywe, oko kuthetha ukuba izibetho azikwazi ukuqala kude kube yikwindla ye-2015. Izithunzi zamadini amanqaku, ukuBuya kweSibini akunakubakho de ekwindla ka-2016!
IMithetho Yekwindla Yazaliseka Ekugqibeleni
Into yokuba izibetho azinakuqalisa ude ugqitywe uMgwebo ibonakala icace gca ngokokude ingcaciso ekuphela kwayo yokuba kutheni kungekho mntu uyibonileyo ngaphambili yeyokuba uThixo wayenesandla saKhe phezu kwayo, kanye njengokuba wayenesandla saKhe phezu kwempazamo kaWilliam Miller yonyaka kanye kanye.
Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka sisebenzise inkuthalo efanelekileyo ngokujonga ezinye izinto. Ngokusekelwe kwingqiqo yoovulindlela, silindele ukuba uYesu abuye eYom Kippur. Sele sisazi ukuba izibetho ziya kuhlala 365 + 7 = 372 iintsuku. Ukuba siqala ukubala ekupheleni kwesigwebo sabaphilayo kwiYom Kippur yomhla wama-24 kuOkthobha, 2015, ingaba siyakufika ngenene eYom Kippur ngo-2016? Kufuneka sijonge ukuba inyanga ezintsha ziya kuba nini, kwaye ke xa iintsuku zomthendeleko ziwa, ngokwekhalenda echanekileyo njengoko kucacisiwe kwikhalenda. IGetsemane amanqaku. Iziphumo zazo zombini ezi zinto zinokwenzeka (kuxhomekeke kwisivuno serhasi) zibonisiwe kuMfanekiso 2.
Umfanekiso wesi-2 - IiNtsuku zoMthendeleko ngo-2016
Njengoko ubona, i-Yom Kippur iwela ngo-Oktobha 12 kwi-2016, iintsuku ezingama-353 kuphela emva kokuphela kwesigwebo sabaphilayo. Aloxesha laneleyo lokuvumela unyaka wezibetho. Inokuba yintoni ingxaki? Khumbula ukuba impazamo kaWilliam Miller yayikwi unyaka, kwaye impazamo yesibini kaMiller nayo ikwi unyaka, hayi emini. Sasicinga ukuba uYesu uza kuza nge-24 ka-Okthobha 2015, kodwa siye sahamba unyaka. Jonga kwitheyibhile engentla kwaye ubone ukuba loluphi usuku Okthobha 24 of 2016 iwela kwi...ewe, nguShemini Atzeret, okwabizwa ngokuba Usuku Lokugqibela Olukhulu.
I-Yom Kippur ingumzekelo womgwebo wophando owaqala ngo-1844. Lusuku olufanelekileyo lokuba uThixo aqalise umgwebo wophando, kunye nosuku olufanelekileyo lokuba uThixo aphelise umgwebo wophando, kuba yonke imithendeleko yamaYuda kufuneka izaliseke ngexesha labo.
Iingxoxo ezithatyathwe kwimifuziselo yeTestamente eNdala zakwalatha ekwindla njengexesha apho isiganeko esimelwa “kukuhlanjululwa kwengcwele” simele senzeke. Oku kwenziwa kwacaca njengoko kwanikelwa ingqalelo kwindlela eyazaliseka ngayo imifuziselo enxulumene nokufika kokuqala kukaKristu. {GC 399.1}
Xa isigwebo sabaphilayo (kwaye ngaloo ndlela sonke isigwebo sophando) sigqityiwe, iYom Kippur iya kube izalisekile ngokupheleleyo. Emva kosuku olungcwele lweYom Kippur, kukho ikhefu elincinane leentsuku ezine, emva koko yiveki yeMinquba, umfuziselo we-3 x 40-year-year ebhadule entlango ye-Adventist Church ukususela ngo-1890 ukuya ku-2010. Abaninzi bafundisa ngempazamo ukuba uMthendeleko weMinquba umele iwaka leminyaka kunye noKristu kodwa emva koMthendeleko weSibini weTabernacle ecacileyo: isikhumbuzo sokuhlala entlango emva kokukhululwa kukaSirayeli eYiputa, kungekhona ukuhlala kwawo ezindlwini emva kokuba engene eKanan.
Nohlala eminqubeni iintsuku ezisixhenxe; Bonke abazelwe oonyana bakaSirayeli mabahlale eminqubeni; ukuze zazi izizukulwana zenu, ukuba ndabahlalisa oonyana bakaSirayeli eminqubeni, ekubakhupheni kwam ezweni laseYiputa: ndinguYehova, uThixo wenu. ( Levitikus 23:42-43 )
Umthendeleko weminquba wawunokusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo kwixesha lezibetho xa abantu bakaThixo beya kuphinda bagxothelwe entlango ukuze bahlale bexhomekeke kuYe kuphela, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo kungekhona ebudeni bewaka leminyaka xa abangcwele beya kuhlala kwizindlu ezinkulu zaseKanan yasezulwini.
Umzobo 3 - Amaxesha oMgwebo, njengoko kuqondwa ngoku
Ngokukhawuleza emva koMthendeleko weMinquba, ukanti uqhagamshelwe kuwo, lusuku lokugqibela nolukhulu kunyaka wonke wenkolo: Shemini Atzeret. Oku, emva kwako konke, ekugqibeleni ngumfuziselo wokuBuya kweSibini, imini enkulu neyoyikekayo yeNkosi.
UYesu ngokwakhe wazalisekisa oku Ekuqaleni iSabatha yonyaka-umhla wokuqala womthendeleko wezonka ezingenagwele-xa waphumla engcwabeni, kwaye ngoku uya kuwuzalisekisa ngokwakhe gqibela imini enkulu yetheko ezingcwele.
Mna ndinguAlfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphelo, owokuqala nowokugqibela. ( ISityhilelo 22:13 )
NjengoAlfa, Yena ukunambitha ukufa kubo bonke abantu, kodwa njengo-Omega, uya kubiza ku ukufa onke amalungisa afileyo kade.
Ngokuba iNkosi ngokwayo iya kuhla emazulwini inendanduluko, inelizwi lesiphatha-zithunywa, inexilongo likaThixo: yaye abafele kuKristu baya kuvuka kuqala: sandule thina babudlayo ubomi, basaseleyo, sixwilelwe emafini kwakunye nabo, siye kuyikhawulela iNkosi esibhakabhakeni; size ngokunjalo sihlale sihleli, sindawonye neNkosi. ( 1 Tesalonika 4:16-17 )
Emva koko kuya kuculwa:
Luphi na, kufa, ulwamvila lwakho? luphi na, bethuna, uloyiso lwakho? ( 1 Korinte 15:55 )
Ngaloo ndlela, yonke imini yomthendeleko iya kuzaliseka ngexesha layo. Le yindlela uMoya oyiNgcwele asikhokelela ngayo kuyo yonke inyaniso: kancinane kancinane, nemvisiswano yezifundo zethu iphucuka ngokuqonda okutsha njengoko imfundiso yoMoya oyiNgcwele isakhela phezu kwayo.
Ukutywinwa Sekuqalisile
Kumbono wakhe wokuqala, uEllen G. White uchaza ixesha uThixo awalubhengeza ngalo umhla neyure kwabangcwele. Kumfanekiso wakhe weziganeko, ukuthetha kwexesha kunxulumene nokutywinwa. Ngokuchaneke ngakumbi, koko kukhokelela, okanye kwimiphumo, ekutywinweni kwe-144,000 XNUMX. Sathi sakufumanisa ukuba sasihambile unyaka ekuqondeni kwethu ixesha, saqonda ukuba kungoku kuphela esithe satywinwa ngokwazisa ixesha lokwenyani lokuBuya kweSibini. Ngoba ixesha Undoqo womyalezo wokutywinwa sisihloko esipheleleyo ngokwaso ukuba sigcinelwe elinye inqaku. Kwanele ukutsho ukuba ukubaluleka kwexesha elipheleleyo kuya kuba kukuvula amehlo kunye nokuzithoba, kwaye iveza ukuba kutheni umyalezo ngexesha uxhatshazwa kakhulu ngabachasi bexesha.
Ngaloo ndlela yaqalisa inkqubo yokutywina i-144,000 elaziyo neliqondayo ilizwi likaThixo njengamanzi amaninzi. Iqela lethu leza kufumanisa impazamo yonyaka omnye ngobusuku bangoLwesihlanu njengoko sasivula iSabatha, sinale ngqiqo intsha izinzile ngokupheleleyo ezingqondweni zethu ebudeni benkonzo yonqulo kusuku olulandelayo ngoMgqibelo, ngoJanuwari 5. Kamva kwiveki elandelayo, saphawula ukuba elinye iqela elincinane lalineSabatha esikelelekileyo kakhulu ngoJanuwari 5 ngokunjalo. Baye banamava nobukho boMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye bafunda iinyaniso ezifanayo esazenzayo malunga nokutywinwa kunye nexesha lezibetho ngokunxulumene nomgwebo wabaphilayo. Lo ibingengoJanuwari 5 ka-2013, kodwa ngowohlukileyo uJanuwari 5.
Ukutywinwa
Ekuqaliseni kweSabatha engcwele, kaJanuwari 5, 1849, sazibandakanya emthandazweni nosapho lukaMzalwana uBelden eRocky Hill, eConnecticut, kunye uMoya oyiNgcwele wawela phezu kwethu. Ndasiwa embonweni ndasiwa kweyona ndawo ingcwele Ndambona uYesu esathandazela uSirayeli. Emzantsi wengubo Yakhe kwakukho intsimbi kunye nerharnati. Ndaza ndabona ukuba uYesu akayi kumka kweyona ndawo ingcwele ade agwetywe onke amatyala angosindiso okanye entshabalalo, nokuba ingqumbo kaThixo ayinakufika de ade uYesu awugqibe umsebenzi Wakhe kweyona ndawo ingcwele, wakhulula isambatho sakhe sobubingeleli, wazambathisa izambatho zempindezelo. Uya kwandula ke uYesu aphume phakathi koYise nomntu, aze uThixo angabi sathi cwaka, kodwa ayiphalaze ingqumbo yakhe phezu kwabo bayigatyayo inyaniso yaKhe. {EW 36.1}
Esinjani sona isiqinisekiso samava ethu!
Ekuqaleni sasicinga ukuba ixesha lezibetho laliza kuqalisa ngo-Oktobha 18, 2014, kodwa kwakhona unyaka waphela ngesinye. Ngokulungiswa, ixesha lezibetho leentsuku ezingama-372 lalingayi kuqalisa kude kube ngo-Oktobha 18 we 2015, kusekunyaka we-Orion ka-2014, kodwa nje emva kokufa kwamathontsi enceba okugqibela aya kube ethululwa phezu kwehlabathi.
Umzobo 4 - Iinkcukacha zokuphela koMgwebo kunye nokuQala kweZibetho
Loo veki yokuqala ingqamana “neentsuku ezongezelelweyo” ezisixhenxe zolungiselelo esasicinga ukuba ziya kuba ziintsuku ezisixhenxe ezilindele ukuba ilifu elincinane elimnyama lifike. Ezo ntsuku zisixhenxe ziseza kuphela ngeSabatha ePhakamileyo, ngoku eyiSabatha yokuqala phakathi kwexesha elimiselweyo leentsuku ezingama-372. Ibekwe phakathi kwaloo Sabatha iPhakamileyo ye-24 ka-Oktobha 2015 kunye ne-Shemini Atzeret ka-2016 yimihla engama-365 kanye...unyaka opheleleyo wezibetho, ekupheleni kwayo uYesu uya kufika nge-24 ka-Oktobha njengoko besifundisa lonke ixesha, kodwa ngoku ngonyaka ka-2016.
Ke, saphuma unyaka omnye. Sasingahambi enyangeni okanye ngosuku—enyakeni nje, kanye njengoWilliam Miller. Kuyathakazelisa ukuqaphela ukuba iitshathi ezimbini eziphambili esinazo zomyalezo we-Orion kunye ne-Vessel of Time ayifuni naluphi na utshintsho olubalulekileyo, kwakhona ihambelana nento yokuba iitshathi zikaMiller azizange zilungiswe. Babenjengoko babefunwa nguThixo.
Ngoku kuyacaca ukuba kutheni kungekho ziganeko ezibonakalayo ezenzekileyo zokuqinisekisa izifundo zethu okwangoku. Kungenxa yokuba besibona iziganeko kwingcwele yasezulwini, iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha esiphela. phambi kwezibetho. Iziganeko ezifanayo emhlabeni zigungqiswa ngunyaka omnye yaye ziya kuthabatha eyazo iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha, iphele ekupheleni kwezibetho ekubuyeni kwesibini. Oko kuthetha ukuba iziganeko ezinkulu ezibonakalayo kufuneka ziqale ngentwasahlobo ka-2013. Jonga kwakhona ukulandelelana kweziganeko kwinqaku Ngaba Elixesha Limisela? kwaye qaphela ukuba ngoku singena kumgca xa kuthethwa imini neyure kwaye ixesha (elincinane) lenkathazo liqala.
Umzobo 5 - Isikhundla sethu ngokulandelelana kwemibono
Ngumsebenzi omdaka, kodwa kufuneka umntu awenze.
Iyonke injongo kunye necebo likaThixo nge-144,000 kukubonisa kwinkundla yasezulwini nakwindalo iphela ekhangelekayo ukuba umthetho kaThixo unokugcinwa ngendalo yindalo, njengoko kucacisiwe ngokupheleleyo kwinqaku lethu elinomxholo othi. Ubizo lwethu oluPhezulu. Azikho ezinye izidalwa kwindalo iphela ezinokwenza lo msebenzi. Ebudeni bonyaka wezibetho, abali-144,000 XNUMX bamele bahlale bethembekile kuzo zonke izihendo onokuzicinga. Ebudeni belo xesha, utshaba lwemiphefumlo luya kufuna kuphela ukusilela kwelungu elinye ngomzuzu omnye ukuze liphumelele ityala lalo. Kambe ke, imigudu yabantu iyodwa ayinakunceda nto, kodwa impumelelo inokufumaneka ngokusebenzisana nokuthanda kukaThixo. UEllen G. White uyibeka ngolu hlobo:
Imbambano yayiza kuqhubeka phakathi kukaKristu noSathana ngalo lonke ixesha. Intlawulelo enexabiso elikhulu eyanikelwayo ityhila ixabiso uThixo alibeke emntwini. U-Kristu wazinikela ukuba abe ngumbambisi womntu, waza wathabathela kuye isohlwayo sesigqitho; ukuze kube nokulungiselelwa indlela yokuba ngawo wonke unyana nentombi ka-Adam, ngokholo kuMkhululi wabo, basebenzisane neengqondi zasezulwini, bayichase imisebenzi kaSathana; uze ngaloo ndlela ungenise ubulungisa obungunaphakade. {ST kaOktobha 8, 1894, isiqe. 8}
UYesu wavula indlela yokuba wonke umntwana ka-Adam abe nenxaxheba ekuziseni ubulungisa obungunaphakade, kodwa kwakwesi siqendu wenza kucace ukuba oku kuthabatha inxaxheba akuyonto yokuzikhethela, yaye kungekuphela nje ukukhulula isiqu sikabani nokwabanye abantu, kodwa kuyimfuneko ukuba lonke icebo losindiso libe yimpumelelo, kuquka ukuvalwa umlomo kukaSathana nokupheliswa kobungendawo kwindalo iphela ngonaphakade.
Ngaphandle kokuba umntu uyasebenzisana ngokupheleleyo noKristu emsebenzini wokuhlangula imiphefumlo ebubini; icebo losindiso alinakwenzeka. {ST kaOktobha 8, 1894, isiqe. 8}
La mazwi akazange asebenze ngaphezu kokuba esebenza kwesi sizukulwana sokugqibela. Ukuba abantu nje abayi kuvuka beze kwithuba leNkosi noMsindisi wabo, noYise wabo bonke, icebo losindiso aliyi kuphumelela. UThixo uzigwebe ngenxa yethu, kwaye iziphumo zokuziphatha kwethu ziyakuchaphazela uMntu wakhe. Indalo iphela ezele zizidalwa ezingawiyo ixhomekeke kuThixo ukuze afumane isixhaso kwaye ke ngoko iya kwabelana ngekamva laKhe nangona nabo bemsulwa. Ngaba uqaphele ukuba uShemini Atzeret akaweli ngeSabatha yeveki kwi-2016? AsiyoSabatha ePhakamileyo kuba iiSabatha eziPhakamileyo kuya kufuneka zibe sele zizalisekile ngesikhalo esikhulu nomsebenzi we-144,000 ukuze uYesu abuye konke konke.
Abantu ababuthathaka nabawohlokayo bafanele bakubone ngokucacileyo ukungafaneleki kwabo ngokupheleleyo kumsebenzi abawenzayo, kodwa ngokusebenzisana nemibutho yasezulwini, banokuphumelela.
Kuyo imiphefumlo enamathele kuye, uthi uKristu, “Ubanye nam, ungabasebenzi kunye noThixo” ( 1 Korinte 3:9 ) UThixo mkhulu kwaye engaqondwanga umdlali umntu sisithunywa esithobekileyo nesibonwayo, yaye kungokusebenzisana nemibutho yasezulwini kuphela anokuthi enze nantoni na elungileyo. Kuphela kunjengokuba ingqondo ikhanyiselwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele abathi abantu babone igunya lobuThixo. Kungoko uSathana esoloko efuna ukuphambukisa iingqondo zisuke kubuThixo ziye ebantwini, ukuze umntu angasebenzisani neZulu. {2SM 123.1}
Abantu abafunda amanqaku ethu kwaye bagwebe umyalezo wethu njengemveliso yomntu nje bakwenza oko kuba ingqondo yabo ayikhanyiselwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Umoya ubangela ukuba ubani aqonde uThixo ‘njengomdlali omkhulu nongenakuqondwa’ emva kwezi zigidimi.
Kumxholo we-144,000, ubunye uKristu athetha ngabo kwesi sicatshulwa singasentla siboniswe kakuhle kwiSityhilelo:
Kwaye ndabona ukuba kwakunjalo ulwandle lwegilasi oluxutywe nomlilo; Bathi ke abo baloyisileyo irhamncwa, nomfanekiselo walo, nophawu lwalo, nenani legama lalo, bemi phezu kolwandle lwegilasi, beneehadi zikaThixo. ( ISityhilelo 15:2 )
Esi sicatshulwa sikwintshayelelo yezibetho ezisixhenxe zokugqibela ( indi. 1, 5-6 ), sibonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba lo mbono ufanekisela i-144,000 XNUMX ebudeni bonyaka wezibetho. Abami (njengoko abanye becinga) ngokoqobo kulwandle lweglasi ezulwini kanye njengokuba bebetha uhadi lokoqobo. Kunoko, lo mfanekiso wokomfuziselo ubonisa ukuba njengoko nawuphi na umntu ‘emi’ eLizwini likaThixo, aba ‘bema’ kwilizwi likaThixo eliphuma kwiOrion, okanye kwisigidimi seOrion, esimelwa ngumfanekiso omhle weOrion nebula ekhanyayo exutywe nee orbs zomlilo—ulwandle lwegilasi. Ukudlala kwabo iihadi kufanekisela ukuqonda kwabo iimfihlelo zikaThixo njengoko zityhilwe kule mihla yokugqibela. Iintliziyo zabo nokuthembeka kwabo kusezulwini, nangona besahamba phakathi kwezilingo zalo mhlaba ebudeni bonyaka wezibetho.
Ukuma unyanisekile “ngexesha lembandezelo elingazange libekho” kunokubonakala kunzima kakhulu, kodwa owona mbuzo ubalulekileyo asikokuthi, “Ngaba ndiyakwazi.” Liya:"ndiyavuma?" Ngaba eneneni ndimthanda ngokwaneleyo uThixo kangangokuba ndikulungele ukumela ulawulo Lwakhe kungakhathaliseki ukuba kubiza kangakanani na? Ngaba ngokwenene kukho abantu abaneleyo ehlabathini namhlanje abakulungeleyo ukubala yonke into yasemhlabeni njengeligugu elixabisekileyo, nabanokukugatya konke ukubandezeleka okusemhlabeni njengokungeyosikhubekiso xa kuthelekiswa nokuphoxa uThixo owabathanda kangangokuba Wabeka ubomi Bakhe obungenasiphelo kumgca ngenxa yabo? UThixo wakhulula uluntu kungekhona ngonyana waKhe kuphela, kodwa nangoBuqu baKhe nobutyebi bendalo iphela.
Ngenxa yokukhululwa kwethu, izulu ngokwalo yayisemngciphekweni. {COL 196.4}
Usindiso lomntu lufezwa ngexesha iindleko ezingenasiphelo ukuya eZulwini; {GC88}
The intlawulelo enexabiso elikhulu oko kwakunikezelwe kubonisa inani athe uThixo wambeka phezu komntu. {ST kaOktobha 8, 1894, isiqe. 8}
Ixabiso lakho emehlweni kaThixo likhulu kangangokuba wakhetha ukuphulukana nayo yonke into kuquka Yena kunye nawo onke amandla akhe angenasiphelo ukuze abuyisele amandla akho okwenza ukhetho lwenkululeko yokubuyisela uthando lwakhe.
Ndiyakubongoza, mfundi othandekayo, ukuba uqale namhlanje ukubala iindleko kwaye uthenge igolide efakwe emlilweni. UThixo wazixhoma—kwaye ngenxa yoko, indalo iphela—ukuze akukhulule. Unokwenza into Angenako ukuyenza, ukungqinela umthetho waKhe. Thina, abafuna ukuhlala naye ngonaphakade, siyakudinga, kuba ukuba icebo losindiso liyasilela, sonke siya kupheza ukubakho. Iingelosi ezingawiyo ezonwabele ubutyebi obuninzi bendalo yakhe kangangexesha elingenammiselo ziyakudinga, kuba nazo ziya kuphulukana nayo yonke into ukuba isono asiyekwa kube kanye. Kodwa ngaphezu kwako konke, uThixo uBawo ngokwakhe uyakufuna, kuba ngaphandle kwenkonzo yakho yokuzincama ngeli xesha linzima, indlela yakhe yokugqibela iya kuba kukuhlawula ityala lesono esingafiyo kunye nobukho baKhe.
Imbopheleleko enjalo uYise wabo bonke ebeya kuyithwala.
