Ngokufundisisa iKhwele kaThixo eOrion siye sayiqonda indlela uThixo awayikhokela waza wayilondoloza ngayo icawa Yakhe kwiminyaka eli-166 edluleyo yohambo lwayo lokuya ezulwini, kodwa safunda nangeemvavanyo ezikhulu ekwakufuneka idlule kuzo nendlela ezo mvavanyo ezabangela ngayo umonakalo owawusiya usiba mbi kwinqanawa yecawa. Iingqaqa ezinkulu zema ngokuchasene nephenyane: IMfazwe Yehlabathi Yokuqala ngowe-1914 eyahlula ibandla laziinxalenye ezimbini, kwalandela ulawulo lwamaNazi olwathi iminyaka elishumi ukususela ngowe-1936 lwabangela ukuhluzwa okungakumbi ebandleni. Yonke le nto iya kusibonisa namhlanje ukuba ibandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist kusenokwenzeka ukuba lithathe indawo yalo kunye nabalawuli behlabathi ngamaxesha obunzima. UThixo wawuphawula unyaka ka-1986 kwimbali yebandla lakhe, kodwa abaninzi abazange bawuqonde ngoko nangoko kuba iimfundiso zobuxoki ezininzi zazisele zingene kakhulu ebandleni ukuze onke amalungu agcine isigwebo esicace ngokupheleleyo. IBandla lamaSeventh-Day Adventist lafikelela kwinqanaba lokuba lada lasondela kubupopu liphethe izipho laza ekugqibeleni laqalisa ukuba nenxaxheba esidlangalaleni nangokusesikweni kwiziganeko zehlabathi zeenkonzo. Ngubani owayenokucinga ukuba ekuphela “kwecawa yobuProtestanti engqongqo” eyayiya kuguqa kunye nopopu ukuze ithandazele uxolo lwehlabathi, olungayi kuze lubekho ngokutsho kweBhayibhile, kwanentetho yoxolo olunjalo ivakalisa ukutshatyalaliswa koluntu?
Kuba xa baya kuthi, Uxolo nokhuseleko; oko baya kufikelwa yintshabalaliso ngebhaqo, kwanjengenimba komithiyo; baye bengayi kusinda. ((Funda eyoku-1 kwabaseTesalonika 5:3.)
Ngoko ke, kufuneka sizibuze ukuba yayinokuba njani le nto? Ngowe-1914 kwabakho ukwahlukana kwecawa ngenxa yemibandela yokuba umKristu unokuba nenxaxheba kusini na emfazweni okanye akunjalo, nokuba iSabatha inokwaphulwa kangakanani na kwimeko enjalo, kwabakho ubuqhophololo obenzelwa abazalwana zezinye iinkokeli zecawa eJamani ebudeni beminyaka yolawulo lwamaNazi—zonke ezi zenzo zoyikekayo zazinganelanga ukutsho ukuba icawa yafikelela kwinqanaba lokuba uYesu abonakalise “uburheletyo” ehlabathini. yona. Ikumyalezo oya kwibandla lesine, iTiyatira, elingqamana nokuqalisa kwetywina lesine lowe-1986 nelifundeka ngolu hlobo:
Noko ke ndineendawana ngakuwe, ezi zokuba umvumela laa mfazi uIzebhele [icawa yaseRoma], ozibiza ngokuba ungumprofetikazi [Vatican], ukufundisa nokulahlekisa abakhonzi bam ukuba yenza ubuhenyu, badle izinto ezibingelelwe kwizithixo. Ndiye ndamnika ispace [imatsha emithandathu yokuqala ijikeleza iYeriko, 'yabona Imbali iyaphinda] ukuba aguquke kuwo umbulo wakhe; akaguquka. Yabona, mna ndiya kumphosa elukhukweni, nabo bakrexeza kunye naye, embandezelweni enkulu [ixesha lenkathazo], ngaphandle kokuba bayaguquka emisebenzini yabo. Yaye abantwana bakhe ndiya kubabulala ngokufa [Izibetho ezisi-7]; azi onke amabandla ukuba mna ndingulowo uphengulula izintso neentliziyo; ndinike elowo ngokwemisebenzi yenu. [UkuBuya kweSibini kukaYesu]. (ISityhilelo 2: 20-23)
ISabatha ayizange iyekwe ngokupheleleyo libandla nangona iinkokeli zamazwe ali-18 aseYurobhu zaye zagxothwa ngexesha lokutywinwa kowe-1914 no-1936.AdventistReview.org Archives 2005):
Iinkokeli ZeCawa Zithi “Siyaxolisa”
Iicawa zaseJamani naseOstriya zicela uxolo ngezenzo zokuBulawa Kwabantu NgenkohlakaloNGU-MARKO A. KELLNER, umncedisi womlawuli weendaba kunye nolwazi lweSebe lezoNxibelelwano lweNkomfa Jikelele
Ziphawula unyaka wamashumi amathandathu wokuphela kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II, iinkokeli zecawa yamaSabatha eJamani naseOstriya ziye zakhupha isibhengezo esithi “zizisola ngokunzulu” ngayo nayiphi na inxaxheba okanye ekuxhaseni ngayo imisebenzi yamaNazi ebudeni bemfazwe. Amaqumrhu eecawa “avuma ngokunyaniseka” ukusilela “ekulandeleni iNkosi yethu” ngokungawakhuseli amaYuda, nabanye, kwimbubhiso yelo xesha, eyayisaziwa ngokubanzi njengokuBulawa Kwabantu Ngenkohlakalo. Izigidi zabantu zabulawa yimfazwe, kuquka namaYuda angaphezu kwezigidi ezi-6 awatshatyalaliswayo kwiintshutshiso zamaNazi ebudeni beminyaka eli-12 yowe-1933 ukusa kowe-1945.
Isibhengezo saqala ukupapashwa kuhlelo lukaMeyi ka-2005 lwe-Advent-Echo, imagazini yenyanga yesiJamani yolwimi lwaseJamani, kwaye iya kuvela nakwezinye iimpapasho zesiJamani, utshilo uGünther Machel, umongameli weNkomfa yeManyano yaseJamani kunye nomnye wabatyikityi abathathu kule ngxelo.
Ikopi yale ngxelo inikwe uYad Vashem, i-Holocaust Martyrs 'kunye neGunya lokuKhumbula amaQhawe kwaSirayeli, wongeza uRolf Pöhler, owayesakuba ngumongameli wendawo yecawa yaseJamani ngoku ongumcebisi wezenkolo kulo mmandla kwaye wayebandakanyeka ekuyilweni kwesibhengezo.
Le ngxelo iguqulelwe ngokusuka kwisiJamani ifundeka ngolu hlobo: “Sibuhlungu kakhulu kuba isimilo sozwilakhe bobuSoshiyali beSizwe singazange siqondwe ngexesha yaye ngokucacileyo ngokwaneleyo, yaye ukungahloneli Thixo kweengcamango [zamaNazi] kungazange kuqondwe ngokucacileyo.” Kwakhona icawa ithi ibuhlungu “ngenxa yokuba kwezinye iimpapasho zethu . . . kwafunyanwa amanqaku azukisa uAdolf Hitler navumelana neengcamango zokuchaswa kwamaYuda ngendlela engakholelekiyo [kwimbono] yanamhlanje.”
Kwakhona iinkokeli zecawa zavakalisa ukuzisola kuba “abantu bethu banxulunyaniswa nenzondelelo yempambano yobuhlanga etshabalalisa ubomi nenkululeko yamaYuda azizigidi ezi-6 nabameli beqela elincinane kulo lonke elaseYurophu” yaye “nakuba amaSabatha amaninzi engazange abe nesabelo kwintswelo nokubandezeleka kwabemi bawo abangamaYuda.”
Ingxelo yabonisa ukuba eyona nto yayibuhlungu kukuba amabandla aseJamani nawaseOstriya “ayengabaquki, azahlula aza abashiya [amalungu ecawa] . . . beyimvelaphi yobuYuda kangangokuba banikelwa entolongweni, elubhacweni okanye ekufeni.”
Phantsi kwemithetho eyahlukahlukeneyo yobuhlanga, amanye amabandla amaSabatha awagxotha amalungu elifa lamaYuda. Omnye, uMax-Israel Munk, wafakwa kwiinkampu zoxinaniso ezimbini ngamaNazi waza wasinda waza wabuyela ecaweni yakhe emva kwemfazwe. Uthe akanqweneli kujongana nebandla lakhe ngendlela athe waphathwa ngayo, ngokukaDaniel Heinz, umgcini wecawe kwiYunivesithi yaseFriedensau Adventist ofunde imisebenzi yama-Adventist ngexesha leNational Socialist.
Kunye noMachel, ezinye iinkokeli ezatyikitya ingxelo yayinguKlaus-Juergen van Treeck, umongameli weNkomfa yeManyano yaseMntla Jamani, noHerbert Brugger, umongameli weCawa yama-Adventist eOstriya. UPöhler noJohannes Hartlapp, umbhali-mbali wecawa yaseFriedensau, babhala ingxelo esekelwe kuyo eso sibhengezo. Zontathu iindawo zecawa zivotele ukuvuma okubhaliweyo, utshilo uPöhler.
Kwesi ngxelo, aba bathathu bathi “ukuthobela amagunya karhulumente akukhokeleli ekuncameni iinkolelo nemilinganiselo yeBhayibhile.” Bathi nangona inguThixo kuphela onokugweba izenzo zezizukulwana zangaphambili, “noko ke, kumhla wethu, sifuna ukumela ubulungisa nokusesikweni kubo bonke abantu.”
Brugger, kudliwano-ndlebe naye ngomnxeba, wathi, “Amalungu ecawa yethu akuxabisa ngokwenene ukupapashwa kolu xwebhu.” Akukho nto ibonisa ukusabela kuluntu lwamaYuda ase-Austria olufunyenweyo, kodwa uBrugger uthe iCawa yama-Adventist ayaziwa kakhulu e-Austria njengoko ezinye iintshukumo zinjalo.
Xa ebuzwa ukuba ibandla elijonga ukugcina iSabatha njengenye yeenkolelo zalo eziphambili linokubalahla njani abagcini beSabatha abangamaJuda ngexesha lentshutshiso, uBrugger ucebise ukuba yayizezopolitiko, hayi ezakwalizwi, ezinokuthi zikhokelele kwiqhinga.
Ebudeni beMfazwe Yehlabathi I inxalenye yecawa yama-Adventist yaseJamani yahlukana, iphikisana nayo nayiphi na inkonzo yasemkhosini. Oku kwakhokelela ekubeni amaSocialists eSizwe ngowe-1936 avale umsebenzi owawubizwa ngokuba “yiNtshukumo yoHlaziyo” ebudeni bexesha lawo lokulawula. UBrugger uthe inkxalabo ngokuvalwa kwamaNazi kweecawe eziphambili ze-Adventist inokuba yayinzima kwiinkokeli ngelo xesha.
“Ndicinga ukuba ebudeni beli xesha iinkokeli ezisemthethweni zecawa yethu zazisoyika ukuphulukana nolawulo lwecawa nokuphulukana necawa ngenxa yokuba amagunya ezobupolitika ayesele . . . [yayibhidanisa] icawa yethu nentlangano yoHlaziyo,” yacacisa. Ndicinga ukuba iinkokeli zethu zazisoyika ukuphulukana nokugqalwa ngokusemthethweni kwecawa yethu, ngoko ke mhlawumbi azizange [zithembeke] kwiinkolelo zethu njengoko bekuya kufuneka.”
Icawa ephambili ye-Seventh-day Adventist eJamani nayo yavalwa ngokufutshane phantsi kwamaNazi, utshilo uPöhler. Ukuguqulwa okukhawulezileyo korhulumente kwakhokelela kwisiqabu phakathi kwama-Adventist kodwa nakwinqanaba lentsebenziswano norhulumente owayengenampilo.
“Asizange sithule nje kuphela, kodwa sikwapapashe nezinto ebekungafanelanga ukuba sizipapashe. Sipapashe iingcamango ezichasene namaYuda, ngokwembono yethu, azifuneki ngokwenene, ”utshilo uPöhler kudliwanondlebe ngomnxeba.
“Kwafuneka siqonde ukuba ingxelo enye ephosakeleyo, isenzo esiphosakeleyo somntu sithetha ukuba unokuphelela kwinkampu yoxinaniso,” watsho uPöhler ngelo xesha. “[Eso yayisisizathu] esabangela ukuba siwakhuphe saza sawasusa kubudlelane amaSabatha azalwe ngamaYuda phakathi kwethu: Ukuba icawa yasekuhlaleni yayingayenzanga le nto, [amaNazi] ngewayeyivalile icawa, athabathe lo mdala asiwe entolongweni, yaye oko kwakuya kuthetha ukuba icawa yayiza kwalelwa yonke.”
Ngoxa amanye amaSabatha aseYurophu athabatha amanyathelo enkalipho ukuze akhusele amaYuda, amanye ahamba ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yokuxhalabela iintsapho neecawa zawo. Kwakuya kuba nzima ngokwaneleyo ukuba umntu afikelele kumYuda, uPöhler wacacisa, kodwa ukubeka ubomi babo basebandleni esichengeni kwakuluxanduva olongezelelekileyo. Isilumkiso esinjalo sabonakala nakwi-nomenclature esetyenziswa ngama-Adventist aseJamani, watsho.
UDaniel Heinz, umalathisi woovimba becawa kwiyunivesithi yamaSabatha eFriedensau, eJamani, wathi uphando lwakhe kumabali amaSabatha awanceda amaYuda ebudeni bemfazwe lwakhokelela ekubeni afumane abo baziphatha ngendlela engafanelekanga.
Ukuchaswa kwemigaqo yamaNazi, kunye nempendulo enemfesane kodwa ekhaliphileyo yamaKristu amaninzi, phakathi kwawo kukho amaSeventh-day Adventist, ukukhusela ubomi babo babephantsi kwentshutshiso yamaNazi, kuye kwabhalwa kulo lonke elaseYurophu, kuquka iPoland, iHungary, iHolland, neDenmark.
“Ndifumene amabali achukumisayo ama-Adventist awayenceda amaYuda kwi-Third Reich, ebeka ubomi bawo esichengeni, ndaza ndafumana okwahlukileyo,” watsho uHeinz. Phakathi kwamanye amalungu ecawa, enye intsapho yaseLatvia yamaSabatha yathabatha indoda engumYuda, yamfihla ebudeni bemfazwe, yaza yasinda. Imbacu yaba likholwa lama-Adventist kunye nomfundisi wecawa emva kokuphela kwemfazwe.
NgokukaMachel, "Iminyaka engamashumi amathandathu emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II kade-kodwa sayibona njengethuba lokugqibela lokubhengezwa."
Amalungu ecawa asele ekhulile asabela kakuhle kwiingxelo zaloo ngxelo zokuxhalaba nokuzisola.
USara Gehler oneminyaka engama-25 ubudala wathi: “Ukutyhila izono nokusilela kwethu ngokuthobeka yeyona nto ibalulekileyo uThixo afuna siyenze,” watsho uSara Gehler oneminyaka engama-60 ubudala. Wongeze wathi, “Ngumsebenzi wethu njengamaKristu ukukhusela nokunceda abo babuthathaka, abangakwaziyo ukuzinceda nabasweleyo.”
UJohn Graz, umalathisi weSebe Lemicimbi Kawonke-wonke Nenkululeko Yonqulo kwikomkhulu lehlabathi lamaSabatha, wathi: “Kwabo bakholelwa kuthando lukaThixo ngelungu ngalinye lentsapho yoluntu, nxamnye nalo naluphi na ucalucalulo olusekelwe kubuhlanga, unqulo, okanye isini, esi sibhengezo sibhalwe sisizukulwana esasingenatyala ngokuBulawa Kwabantu Ngenkohlakalo nasemfazweni, kodwa sixhasa imbopheleleko yabazali baso ebalaseleyo, siya kuba yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yembopheleleko yabazali babo.”
Kubuhlungu ukuba ileta yokuqala yoxolo iswele nakuphi na ukuvuma ukuba iCawa yamaSeventh-day Adventist ngaloo minyaka yeMfazwe Yehlabathi I neyesi-II yabaphatha abazalwana noodade bayo kanye ngendlela eyayibaphatha ngayo abazalwana abangamaYuda, xa yayifuna ukugcina iSabatha phantsi kwayo nayiphi na imeko yaye ikuphepha ukwaphula umthetho “Uze ungabulali”. Ingxelo yokuqala yoxolo ifundeka ngolu hlobo:
...abantu bakowabo abanemvelaphi yobuJuda baye bacalulwa kwaye bavalelwa ngaphandle sithi, bayekele kubo, kwaye ke ngoko basiwe entolongweni, elubhacweni okanye ekufeni.
Kubuhlungu ukufunda uxolo olunjalo xa kwelinye icala sifunda amabali ngama-Adventist athembekileyo awafela ukholo lwawo, njengoko kuya kufuneka ukuba senze ngokukhawuleza xa ityala lokugqibela lomthetho weCawe lisifikela. Ngoxa iSeventh-day Adventist Church yazonakalisa ngolawulo lwamaNazi ngowe-1936, icawa yoHlaziyo yavalwa, kwaza kwafuneka ukuba amalungu ayo athwale umnqamlezo. Imizekelo emibini inokumela amakhulu ama-Adventist athembekileyo oMbutho woHlaziyo, awafela ezintolongweni nakwiinkampu zoxinaniso zamaNazi ngaphandle kokukhankanywa “ngabazalwana bawo abakhulu”.
Masifunde iileta ezimbini zokugqibela zeReformation Adventist Gustav Psyrembel wabhalela umfazi wakhe wathi:
Berlin NW40, Matshi 12, 1940
Othandekayo. . .
Uxolo lweNkosi malube nani!
Ndingathanda ukusebenzisa eli thuba ukuba ndinibhalele imigca embalwa, kuba yonke imini entsha eya kuthi qheke ukusa inokuba yeyokugqibela kum. . . . Ke ngoko, asiyi kuyekelela ngelixa lesigqibo, kuba le yindlela elungileyo nenyaniso. Ngumsebenzi wakhe lowo, kwaye akayi kuwuyeka utshabalale. Kulusizi gqitha ukuba abazalwana bethu abaninzi [abakwisigidimi esintlu-ntathu] bephambuka endleleni elungileyo, bayishiye iNkokeli nebhanile yethu, bemke kuYo, baqalise ukuluthandabuza uthando nokhokelo Lwakhe olungokobuthixo, baze ngaloo ndlela bamenze buhlungu.
Ngenye imini baya kuzisola ngokukrakra baze babuvume ububi babo, kodwa ngoko mhlawumbi kuya kuba semva kwexesha elingunaphakade yaye akuyi kubakho ncedo okanye lusindiso. Abaqondi ukuba bangcatsha abo babambelele ngokuqinileyo kuThixo nokuba benza idabi labo linzima ngendlela engathethekiyo. Xa ityala elifana nelam livela phambi kwenkundla yemfazwe, [amagosa] athi: “Amanye [amaSabatha] onke eyisekile kukuba awenza umsebenzi wawo ngaphandle kokwaphula izazela zawo yaye engayithobeli imithetho kaThixo; kutheni na ukuba ningenjenjalo? Kunzima kakhulu kwimeko enjalo ukuthethelela inyaniso, ukucacisa ukuma kwethu kwabasemagunyeni size sithi asinakwenza ngenye indlela. Kwabakho olunye ugculelo ngenxa “yokungafundiseki” nokuba “neenkani” kwam.
Aba [amakholwa athobelayo], ingakumbi abalungiseleli, baye bakwazi ukuqhatha abantu. Ngokuyimela kwabo inyaniso ngobuxoki, basichaza njengezaphuli-mthetho yaye bathi sikhohlisiwe. Benganelisekanga kukuphepha ungquzulwano nokuzama ukufumana indlela yokukhawulelana nobunzima, bakwazama ukuzithethelela izenzo zabo eziphosakeleyo ngeentetho nemizekelo yeZibhalo engafanelekanga kwaphela. Oku ndikubonile kwileta ende, enamaphepha asixhenxe evela kumfundisi osebenzisa iingxoxo ekucingelwa ukuba ziqinisekiswa buBungqina. Kodwa konke oku akufunekanga kusishukumise. Inyaniso ihleli iyinyaniso, yaye okuthe tye kuya kuhlala kuthe tye; kwaye ikamva liya kutyhila ukuba inokufunyanwa kweliphi icala. . . .
Ngokholo lokuba kuya kubakho ukudibana, ngoku ndiya kuvala. INkosi ibe nani. Fumana imibuliso yam emininzi kunye nokuncamisa okuvela kuPapa onothando olunzulu.
Ndibulisa ngeyona ndlela kubo bonke abasoloko becinga ngam.
UGustav wakho.

Imibuliso nge-2 Kor. 4:16–18 .
Kungoko singethi mandla; kuba nokuba umntu wethu wangaphandle uya esonakala, usuka yena owangaphakathi aye ehlaziyeka imihla ngemihla. Kuba imbandezelo yethu, eyomzuzwana nje, isisebenzela ubunzima obuncamisileyo, obuncamisileyo bozuko. sakubon' ukuba asixuneli ezintweni ezibonwayo, sixunela kwezingabonwayo; ke zona ezingabonwayo zezonaphakade.
Ndisandul’ ukuva ukuba ngomso, nge-30, ngo-5:00 kusasa, ndiza kubulawa. Kwakhona ndafumana ithuba lokuzomeleza ngeLizwi likaThixo kolu hambo lokugqibela. ITestamente Entsha yaziswa ukuba ndiyifunde. (Kodwa ndinokutya okuncinci endinokukutya.) Izahlulo zesonka zincinci apha, kwaye ngokubanzi yonke into ingqongqo kakhulu, kunasePloetzensee; Kodwa ke izinto zonke ndiye ndazithwala ngovuyo nangomonde, kuba ndiyazi ukuba zonke ezi zinto ndizenza ngenxa kabani na; Ithi iNkosi, Vuyani nigcobe kunene; ngokuba umvuzo wenu mkhulu emazulwini. Phakamisani iintloko zenu, kuba iyasondela inkululeko yenu. La mazwi kunye nezithembiso ezixabisekileyo zisigcina siqhubeka kwidabi lethu elinzima kodwa elimangalisayo. INkosi ithembise amandla ayo kunye nenkuselo, kwaye ikulungele ukuyinika abantwana Bayo xa beyidinga. Ndifumene oku kuyo yonke iminyaka yedabi lam ukuza kuthi ga kule yure kanye. Mayibongwe iNkosi! Undigcine ndisempilweni emzimbeni nasemphefumlweni kwaye undinike uvuyo nothando lwakhe ngomlinganiselo otyebileyo. Akayi kundishiya ngeyure yokugqibela. Asiyi kuba lusizi, kodwa sonwabe, kwaye sikujonge njengenyhweba ukubandezeleka nokufa ngenxa yakhe. 'Thembeka kude kuse ekufeni, mna ke ndokunika isithsaba sobomi.'
Uthembisile, kwaye ndinokholo kulamandla nosindiso ndiya kumka kobu bomi ngethemba, zintanda zam, ukuba siya kuphinda sibonane ebukumkanini bakhe, sibe ngonaphakade kunye nalowo wasithandayo de kwasekufeni kwaye ehlala eneenjongo ezilungileyo ngathi. Apho siya kuhlala kulonwabo noxolo olungaphazanyiswa nolungahlukaniyo ebesilulangazelela kakhulu apha. Siya kuba njengelo phupha yaye asiyi kukwazi ukuluqonda ulonwabo oluya kuba sisabelo sethu thina zidalwa ezinesono, ezingafanelekanga, ezifanelwe kukufa nesohlwayo. Elinjani lona ukuxabiseka ilungelo ekulilo ukwazi nokukholelwa kuko konke oku. Nawe, Mama othandekayo, musa ukuvumela obu butyebi buxabisekileyo buthatyathwe kuwe; ukholose ngoYehova kuzo zonke iimeko zobomi bakho, kwaye uya kuba ngasecaleni kwakho angaze akushiye; ukoyisa iintlungu kwaye ugqibe ugqatso; thuthuzeleka, yomelela. “Andinakuluncama olu kholo kulo lonke ihlabathi. Lowo umthandayo uKristu akanakuze amshiye. INkosi iya kubanika impumelelo bonke abantwana Bakhe abazama ukugcina imiyalelo Yakhe. Kananjalo kuya kuba yintuthuzelo kuni ukuba ndiya kufa ndingekangcwatywa, ndingangcwatywa ndihleli. Ndiyathemba ukuba iNkosi iya kukuxhasa. Wanga angakusikelela, akugcine; Wanga angavumela ukhuseleko lwakhe kunye nobabalo lwakhe lube phezu kwakho kwaye akunike uxolo lwaKhe! Lo ngumnqweno wam wokugqibela nomthandazo. Amen.
Kwakhona, okokugqibela, imibuliso esuka entliziyweni evela kuTata wakho othandekayo. Imibuliso emihle nakuMama nakubo bonke abazalwana noodadewethu abathandekayo elukholweni, kwanezalamane zethu ezikwicala lakho nelam.

Kwaye le yileta yokugqibela ye-Austrian Adventist ye-Reformation Movement kunye nokwala ukuya emkhosini ngenxa yesazela. Anton Brugger kwintombi yakhe uEsther, awayibhala esentolongweni Brandenburg-Goert ngoFebruwari 3, 1943:
UEstere endimthandayo, ubuncwane obuxabisekileyo!
Ngelishwa, asizange sinikwe ukuba sibonane kwakhona. Yeha, bendinqwenela ukuphinda ndibubone ubuso bakho obunothando, ndize ndithethe nawe amazwi ambalwa. Umfanekiso wakho omhle ndihlala ndiwugcina kum. Ngasemva kweBhayibhile yam kukho umfanekiso wakho uphambi kwam. Ngoku thabatha iBhayibhile njengesikhumbuzo kum. Ndiyathemba ukuba nawe uyifumene ileta yam yokugqibela. Xa usiya kuMama uya kukunika ezi leta.
Sasingenakuze sicinge ukuba sabonana okokugqibela eNiederroden. Sekunjalo ndandisoloko ndivakalelwa kukuba kuseza kufika uvavanyo olukhulu, oluqatha, kodwa ndandinganixeleli ngalo ukuze ndingoyiki. Ngoku eyona nto bendiyoyika ixesha elide kangaka, kwaye bendilindele ukuba yenzeke, iye yaba yinyani. Owu, hayi indlela ebendiya kuvuya ngayo ukuqhubeka nokusebenza nokwenza okulungileyo kwabanye. Ndicinga ukuba bekuya kuba kuhle kangakanani ukusebenza kunye nani ekwenzeni okulungileyo. Bekungekhe kubekho ulonwabo olugqibeleleyo kum ngaphezu kolu.
Ingcinga ngayo yonke intlungu yesithandwa sam, uMama olungileyo ibuhlungu ngakumbi. Owu, ndicela umnyamekele kakuhle kwaye umthuthuzele. Ewe, Estere othandekayo, ndiyazi ukuba kuya kubetha kakhulu nakuwe. Kodwa musa ukunkwantya, uzithuthuzele ngeNkosi. Kananjalo kufuneka sithathe eli shwangusha lilusizi ngomonde esandleni seNkosi. Uyasazi isizathu sokuba ekuvumele konke oku. Ayikho enye indlela yokukhetha, kuba akunakwenzeka ukuba ndithathe inxaxheba emfazweni, ngokokholo lwam. Bendinokukhululeka kuphela ukuba bendinokuzibophelela ukuphumeza ngokungagogotye lutho yonke imiyalelo karhulumente, yaye oku andinakukwenza ngaphandle kokungqubana nesazela sam. Ngoko ke, ndiza kufumana isohlwayo sokufa, esiza kuphunyezwa namhlanje, ngoFebruwari 3, 1943, ngentsimbi yesi-6 ngokuhlwa. Nakubeni kunzima, kodwa iNkosi iya kuba nenceba kum, indincede kude kuse ekupheleni. Ekubeni umnqweno weentliziyo zethu wokumanyaniswa kunye apha emhlabeni ngoku usenziwa ungenakwenzeka yile nto ilusizi, siya kuzithuthuzela nje ngethemba elixabisekileyo lokuphinda sibonane yiNkosi. Ndithembele kubabalo nenceba yoMsindisi, ukuba uya kundamkela aze ngobubele azixolele izono zam. Nawe nyaniseka kwiNkosi uYesu, umthande kwaye umkhonze ngamandla akho onke. Musani ukuqhiphuka umbilini, nithuthuzeleke. Emva kokufika kweNkosi akukho mntu uya kusahlula kwakhona, yaye akukho ntlungu nantlungu ziya kusifikela. “Ndibuliseleni nonke zintanda zam. Intliziyo yam ibisoloko inabo. Ndibulise kakhulu kubazali bakho abathandekayo kunye nomntakwenu othandekayo. . . .
Ngendivuya ndingcwatyelwe emhlabeni, kodwa bonke aba balapha batshiselwa kwindawo yokutshisa izidumbu. Sele ndimcelile uMama ukuba acele imvume yokungcwaba umchamo ngothuthu lwam eSalzburg; yeyona ndawo ilungileyo leyo. Ndiyathemba ukuba andiphilanga ilize.
Ngoku, Sithandwa sam, yanga iNkosi ikusikelele kunye nabo bonke abo ubathandayo, kwaye ikhusele kwaye incede ngobabalo ukuze siphinde sibonane ngonaphakade ngakuye ebukumkanini bakhe obuzukileyo boxolo. Ndikuthanda de kube sekupheleni.
Sala kakuhle, Sithandwa, auf WIEDERSEHEN!
UAnton wakho." —Uze Ulandele Ukholo Lwabo!, iphepha 49–51.
Emva kokufunda obu bungqina kwincwadi ethi “The History of the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement,” ndasiqonda isizathu sokuba uThixo abeke iOrion esibhakabhakeni. Wayefuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba aba bafeli-nkolo abalityalwa, yaye wayefuna ukubonisa indlela abathanda ngayo abo baphila baze bamfele Yena neenjongo Zakhe. Hayi, u-Anton Brugger othandekayo kunye noGustav Psyrembel othandekayo, anizange niphile ilize, kwaye anifelanga ilize! INkosi yethu imisele isikhumbuzo esikhethekileyo wena nabo babandezelekileyo: iinkwenkwezi ezimbini zamagxa eOrion zinikelwe kuwe—kubo bonke abo bafa kuzo zombini iiMfazwe zehlabathi ngenxa yokholo nokunyaniseka kwabo kwimithetho kaThixo njengabo banikela ngobomi babo kwiintshutshiso zangaphambili zomjikelo wokuqala wamatywina amathandathu okuqala. Izingqiniso zakho aziyi kulahleka; wonke umntu ofunda eli nqaku namhlanje kwaye uye waqonda umyalezo weOrion uya kuvuya kakhulu ukuhlangana nawe ezulwini kunye noYesu xa sele bedlule kwizilingo zabo ezizayo. Ndingathanda ukucebisa ukuba wonke umntu afunde isahluko esinobu bungqina kule ncwadi ikhankanywe ngasentla. Inokukhutshelwa APHA.
Ngaba bekungayi kufaneleka ukufuna uxolelwaniso phakathi kweecawa ezintathu zamaSabatha ngenxa yala mangqina kaYesu, ekubeni uThixo ngokwakhe ebonisa ngeqela leenkwenkwezi ukuba akazilibalanga izono zabantu bakhe? (Iicawa ezintathu ezahlukeneyo zamaSabatha ngala: iSeventh-day Adventist Church, iSeventh Day Adventist Reform Movement, neInternational Missionary Society.) Ngoxa sijonge ebusweni baba bazalwana bathobekileyo nabaxolelayo abangazange babacaphukele abazalwana babo ababangcatshayo, yaye njengamaKristu okwenyaniso bade bacela ukuba uYesu abaxolele—ngaba sisengakuthandabuza ukuba iminqweno yomanyano yecawa ibuyela kunye elukholweni kuThixo?
Ukuba iicawa zoHlaziyo ziziindlalifa zala magorha okholo awamkela isiluleko sikaYesu sokuxolela ngalo lonke ixesha ukuba sifuna ukuxolelwa, ngaba avumelekile ukuba alondoloze ingqumbo—kunye nentiyo—kubazalwana bawo beCawa enkulu yamaSabatha? Ekubeni betyekele ekuphazameni nasekoneni njengabo bonke abanye abantu, ngaba bavumelekile ukuba bazicingele njengabongamileyo baze bagwebe amalungu ebandla elikhulu njengalahlekileyo? Kwafuneka ndibone oko kubefundisi kunye neenkokeli zeSeventh Day Adventist Reform Movement eMzantsi Melika. Akunjalo, lowo yayingengomoya waba balandeli bathembekileyo bakaKristu, yaye asingomoya wabo baya kutywinwa. Ungaphantsi ngakumbi umoya wabo baza kuba phakathi kwabali-144,000 XNUMX kungekudala. Khumbula ukuba ndithetha ngezinye iinkokeli zeSeventh Day Adventist Reform Movement endizaziyo ngokobuqu; kukho amaKristu amaninzi amangalisayo phakathi kwawo angawuxabisiyo umoya ofanayo.
UYesu wakwenza kwacaca ukuba ngabo bafuna uxolo nomanyano ebandleni kuphela abaya kusindiswa. Kutshanje, inkokeli ephakamileyo yecawa yamaSeventh-day Adventist eJamani yandibiza esidlangalaleni ngokuthi “ndingumcalucalulo omkhulu.” Kwakhona iicawa zoHlaziyo zandinika isibizo esithi “umqhekeki omkhulu.” Ekuphela kwento endiyixhalabeleyo kukuzalisekisa uthumo uThixo andinike lona nokudlulisela ulwazi andiphathise lona ngoMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele ukulungiselela amabandla akhe alungelelanisiweyo. Ekuphela kwebango lam kukuba ndiyifumene i-Orion kwaye ndiphinda nditsho ukuba andiyibangi ukuba ukutolika kwam kuchanekileyo nge-100%. Ezi zifundo zibonelelwa ukukhuthaza ukuzifundela. I-Intanethi igcwele iziza ezixela okwenzekayo kwiminyaka ye-Orion ye-1844, i-1846, i-1914, i-1936 kunye ne-1986. Kwakhona ndithi: vavanya yonke into kwaye ugcine okulungileyo!
Iinkokeli zisabela ngendlela elusizi! Enye icawa elungelelanisiweyo ijongana nenye ngentiyo! IOrion ibonisa izono zendlu kaYakobi, abantu Bakhe, kodwa ikwabonisa ukuba uThixo akazange abalahle. Singalindela njani ukuba umanyano lwenzeke ekugqibeleni ukuba akukho mntu uzimisele ukushukuma kancinane kwindawo yakhe emiselweyo? Wonke umntu uthetha ngokuhluzwa! Ewe, yaqala kudala njengoko uEllen G. White watshoyo. Ukuhluzwa kwakusele kuqalile ngomhla wakhe, kodwa ukuhluzwa kwakungekokuhluzwa kuphela kweecawa ezimbini ngowe-1914 nokwahlulwa kwakhona kwecawa yoHlaziyo ngowe-1951. Ewe, ezo ziganeko ziphawulwa nguThixo kwiOrion njengeziganeko ezimbi, kodwa asizoziganeko ngokwazo ezibangela ukuhluzwa. Ziimfundiso ezisemva kwaloo mihla neziganeko. Ukuhluzwa kwaqala ngeemfundiso zobuxoki kwaye kuya kufikelela kuvuthondaba ngokushukunyiswa kokugqibela okuya kuza ngemithetho yangeCawa. Kungekudala, abantu abavela kuyo yonke imibutho yama-Adventist-kunye nabangewona ama-Adventist-baya kuhlangana ngomyalezo we-Orion. Njengoko beqonda umyalezo kaThixo, baya kufumana uMoya oyiNgcwele baze benze i-144,000. Baya kuziqonda iimfundiso zobuxoki ezibangele ukuhluzwa yaye baya kuzilungisa iimbono zabo, ukuba kuyimfuneko, ngokwemfundiso eboniswe yiOrion. Eli nqaku nalandelayo lixubusha “ngemigca yobukhosi” yeOrion, ebonisa imiqobo eyahlulayo ekhoyo phakathi kweecawa namahlumelo amaninzi. La manqaku aza kubonisa into okuyiyo ukuthanda kukaThixo nemfundiso yokwenyaniso, esimele siyamkele ngoku ngozuko lwazo. UThixo akashiyi nto ebumnyameni, yaye wonk’ ubani ofunda inxalenye eseleyo yolu ngcelele lwenqaku elithi “Imigca Yetrone” naye uya kuqaqamba njengokukhanya kwindawo emnyama.
Kwafuneka ndihleke xa ndandisandula ukufunda izifundo zeSikolo seSabatha ukusuka kwi-Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement kwikota yesibini neyesithathu ka-2010. Kwakucacile ukuba bakhetha ngamabomu izihloko ezihambelana nomyalezo we-Orion kwaye bazama ukubethelela ngokuqinileyo amalungu abo ngokupapasha kwakhona kunye nokuphinda ukukhanya okwaziwayo kwangaphambili ngalo mbandela. Bakwenza oko ukuze babatyhafise ekukholelweni kuso nasiphi na esinye isityhilelo sikaThixo esivela kwiOrion. Ndiyasithanda esi Sikolo seSabatha ngekota kuba sisekelwe ngokungqongqo kwimibhalo ka-Ellen G. White. Akukho nto ingekhoyo kuyo; inemibuzo kunye neengcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White enika iimpendulo. Uphononongo lwezakwalizwi, njengakwizifundo zeSikolo seSabatha zebandla lamaSabatha azikho ngovuyo. Kwezi kota zimbini ndifumene umthwalo ongakholelekiyo wezinto ezihambelana ngokugqibeleleyo kumanqaku am. Yasiqinisekisa isigidimi seOrion ngendlela ekhethekileyo nangona abazalwana babenenjongo yokusiphikisa. Andikwazanga kufumana nomgca omnye wekota ezimbini zeZikolo zeSabatha okanye isicatshulwa esinye sika-Ellen G. White esiphikisana nomyalezo we-Orion. Isigidimi seOrion sivisisana ngokupheleleyo nazo zonke iimfundiso ezisisiseko zamaSabatha nokuvumelana ngokupheleleyo nazo zonke iimfundiso zeBhayibhile noMoya wesiprofeto.
I<em>Orion ibonisa iimpazamo ibandla—eneneni lilonke ibandla likaThixo elilungelelanisiweyo lamaSeventh-day Adventist (kuquka amasebe)—eliye lazenza ukususela ngowe-1844. Ukuba onke amabandla ebeya kufikelela ekuvunyweni nasekuguqukeni kwezono zawo ngeOrion, ngoko ibandla likaThixo elisulungekileyo beliya kuvela ngaphandle kwemfuneko yesiseko esitsha. Umyalezo we-Orion awungomyalezo wokubizelwa okanye umyalezo wokwahlula nakweyiphi na yeecawa zamaSabatha. Sisigidimi sobunye bokholo kuba uYesu usifundisa indlela iimbono ezahlulayo ezibonakala ngayo ekukhanyeni kwentando yakhe nokuba yintoni eyimfundiso yobuxoki okanye eyinyani emehlweni akhe. Siza kubona ukuba uThixo uthetha ngazo zonke iimfundiso ezahlulahlulayo kwiOrion. Kuya kothusa iinkokeli ezininzi ukuba zive ukuba bezixabisile iimbono ezibubuxoki, kwaye kuya kufuneka zitshintshe ukuba azifuni ukufumana izibetho. Ngaba baya kuzithoba ngokwaneleyo ukuze bamkele isiluleko sikaYesu?
Zonke iicawa zoHlaziyo zikholelwa phantse ngokungagungqiyo ukuba zikuphela kwecawa yokwenyaniso, nokuba ibutho lecawa elibanzi liye lakhula ngokupheleleyo laba yiBhabhiloni yaye alisazifumani iintsikelelo okanye inkoliseko kaThixo. Ukuba bekunjalo, kutheni ke ngoko uThixo esenza iinzame zokuqhubeka nembali yebandla elikhulu lamaSabatha eOrion? Unyaka ka-1986, ibandla lesine kunye netywina lesine, ubukhulu becala yimbali yebandla elikhulu lamaSeventh-day Adventist. IOrion ibonisa ukuba iicawe zikho ngaxeshanye. Phinda ufunde iileta eziya emabandleni; amaqela amabini ahlala ebonisiwe. Kambe ke, oku kwaqondwa ngokukhawuleza ziicawa zoHlaziyo xa ndazithumelela isifundo sokuqala sewotshi yeOrion ngoJanuwari. Baqonda ukuba loo wotshi ibonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba icawa enkulu yamaSabatha yayingabandakanywanga ngokupheleleyo kubabalo lukaThixo, ibe isenza sithandabuze isibakala sokuba sisikhundla sokuphela kwebandla likaThixo lokwenyaniso ukususela ngowe-1914 okanye ngowe-1951. Ndikwazi oku ngokusuka kumava am obuqu ngeSeventh Day Adventist Reform Movement, kodwa ngokusekelwe kwii-imeyile ezimbalwa endizifumeneyo, ndicinga ukuba kwenzeka into efanayo nakwi-International Missionary Society nayo.
Kwelinye icala, icawa enkulu yamaSeventh-day Adventist ineentloni ngeempazamo zayo, ngokuqinisekileyo, kwaye ayifuni ukuba zibonakale. Ngaloo ndlela, iNkomfa Jikelele nayo kwafuneka igwebe isigidimi seOrion njengesiquka ngokupheleleyo imfundiso yobuxoki nowexuko. Bakwaqaphela ukuba kukho okuninzi kwi-Orion kunokuba bendipapashe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku (kwinguqulelo yokuqala yesifundo seOrion). Ezo nkokeli, ezikwinkampu yotshaba, zazi kakuhle ukuba isigidimi seOrion sizisa iindaba ezivela emantla (itrone kaThixo) nasempumalanga (apho iOrion ngokwayo ikhoyo) ngokutsho kukaDaniyeli 11:44 . Iyabakhathaza kunye nentloko yabo, upopu, ummeli kaSathana emhlabeni, kanye njengokuba le vesi isitsho:
kodwa iindaba ezivela empumalanga nasentla Wophuma ke enobushushu obukhulu, ukuba abatshabalalise, abasingele phantsi abaninzi. ((Daniyeli 11:44)
Sonke siyazi ukuba ezi "ndaba", okanye imiyalezo, evela empuma nangasentla iya kukhokelela kwisikhalo esikhulu esichazwe kule ndinyana. UMoya oyiNgcwele uya kusikhokelela kuyo yonke inyaniso. Akusayi kuphinda kubekho mpikiswano ngemibandela yonqulo, akusayi kubakho ngxoxo ngeemfundiso ezithile eziphikisanayo eziye zabakho kangangeminyaka, kuba uThixo ngokwakhe usibonisa yonke inyaniso kwiOrion. Nje ukuba ibandla limanyane phantsi kwayo yonke inyaniso, lilibale yonke imida phakathi kwamabandla amaninzi alungelelanisiweyo kunye namaqela ahlumayo, liya kube lifikile ixesha lokuba uSathana angcangcazele. Oku kuyamoyikisa kakhulu kuba uyazi kakuhle into ebhalwe kwi-Orion: Iimpendulo kuzo zonke iingxabano ezisebandleni ... inyaniso yonke. Uyazi ukuba kuya kubakho i-144,000 eya kumanyana kwibandla laseFiladelfi. Umanyano lwenene lokholo uYesu awaluthandazelayo kuYohane 17 luya kulawula kulo. Amanqaku alandelayo aza kumoyikisa uSathana kuba uyayibona into yokuba uMoya kaThixo uqalisile ukusebenza kwabanye. Kangangamawaka eminyaka uSathana ebesazi ukuba oku kuya kwenzeka ekugqibeleni! Wayalela ukuba kwakhiwe iiphiramidi zaseGiza ngendlela echanekileyo yolungelelwaniso lweenkwenkwezi zebhanti zaseOrion. Wawanikela kunqulo lwelanga kuba wayesazi ukuba ingcwele yokwenyaniso kaThixo, okanye umfuziselo wayo, ikroza lokwenene nelokwenyaniso leenkwenkwezi zeOrion esibhakabhakeni, yayiza kuthwala isigidimi esikhethekileyo ngenye imini. Wayesazi ukuba yayiya kubafanisa abantu bakaThixo ebudeni bomgwebo wohlolisiso ize ibabonise inyaniso ngemibandela ephikisanayo eyayingaqondwa ngokucacileyo ngokusuka eBhayibhileni ukuza kuthi ga ngoku neyabangela iyantlukwano ehlala ihleli phakathi kwamaAdvent. USathana wayalela iipiramidi ngaloo ndlela ukuze enze ukuba wonke umntu acinge ukuba isigidimi seOrion sibubuxoki nemfundiso yobuxoki.
USathana walumkisa abakhonzi bakhe, ababesele bengenile kuzo zonke iicawa namaqela ahlumayo esithi: “Silumkele isigidimi seOrion. Akufunekanga uvumele amalungu ukuba ayifunde le nto!” Ngoko ke, umntu uva “iinkokeli” kuyo yonk’ indawo zithetha izinto ezinjengokuthi “Musani ukuchitha ixesha lenu ningcolisa obo buvuvu beOrion. Yinkcitha-xesha nje!” Ziyakuba phi ezo nkokeli xa imithetho yeCawe isiza ngokwenene kwaye yonke into ihambelana ngqo neentsuku ezimbini zokugqibela ngewotshi, 2012/2013 kunye 2014/2015? Abayi kuba phakathi kwabo bacela ukuba amawa abe phezu kwabo, abangcwabe?
Ukuba i-Orion yayiza kuqatshelwa kuphela ukuba yintoni na ngokwenene: isigidimi sokugqibela sikaThixo kunye nobizo lokususa yonke imiqobo kumanyano lweecawa zamaSabatha. Sisigidimi sokuba amabandla abe neentloni ngeempazamo zawo zexesha elidluleyo, aguquke kuzo, afune nokuxolelwa aze angaphindi ezo mpazamo. Ukuba babenokukwenza oko, yintoni eyayiya kuthintela umanyano lokholo olwalahleka endleleni ukususela ngowe-1844 ukuba luphinde lumiselwe, ekugqibeleni lwakhokelela kwisikhalo esikhulu?
Kolu ngcelele lwamanqaku athi “Imigca yoTrone,” siya kufumana imihla emine eyongezelelekileyo kwiwotshi yeOrion. Imihla nganye kule mihla inebali elikhethekileyo elibalisa. Ndiye ndasebenza ixesha elide ngomthandazo ukuze ndiqokelele izibakala endifuna ukunicacisela zona kula manqaku. Kuye kwafuneka ndigrumbe nzulu kakhulu kwezinye iimeko kuba izinto ezininzi ziye zagqunywa ngabom zangcwatywa. USathana akafuni ukuba izinto ezithile zibonakale.
Ekuqaleni, ndabuza ukuba kwakunokwenzeka njani ukuba phezu kwawo nje umlinganiselo othile wokuvuma izono nenguquko, icawa yamaSeventh-day Adventist iye yahambela phambili kwindlela yonxulumano olusondele ngakumbi neRoma. UYesu uthetha amazwi arhabaxa ngolo hlobo nxamnye nebandla laseTiyatira, yaye ude alibize ngokuba ngumkrexezikazi. Imele ukuba ikho into eyenzekayo kwiminyaka engama-50 phakathi kowe-1936 nowe-1986 esingayiboniyo. Saliqonda ngokuchanekileyo ixesha elaqala ngo-1936 njengexesha lePergamos, libonisa ixesha lePergamos yamandulo: ibandla elalalanisayo, elaye lonakaliswa ziimfundiso zobuxoki laza ekugqibeleni lakhula laba bubuhedeni, ekugqibeleni ukuya kutsho eTiyatira.
Masiphinde sifunde kwisifundo seBhayibhile seSeventh-day Adventist (“Seminario Revelaciones del Apocalipsis”), esele ndisikhankanye kwinqaku elandulela eli. Ingcaciso yeendinyana zeSityhilelo 2:12-17 ithi:
Isithunywa sebandla elisePergamo, sibhalele; Utsho lowo unekrele elibukhali, elintlangothi mbini; Ndiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nalapho uhleli khona, apho sikhona isihlalo sikaSathana; nokuba ulibambe waliqinisa igama lam, akwakukhanyela ukukholwa kwam, naloo mihla uAntipas wayelingqina lam elithembekileyo. [ama-Adventist athembekileyo oHlaziyo], owabulawa phakathi kwenu, apho ahleli khona uSathana [IYurophu, ngakumbi iJamani ngo-1936]. Noko ke ndineendawana ngakuwe:ezi zokuba unabo apho abayibambe bayibambe imfundiso kaBhileham, owamfundisayo uBhalaki ukuphosa isikhubekiso phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba badle izinto ezibingelelwe izithixo, benze nombulo. [ukuthanda ihlabathi, ukungasikhathaleli isigidimi sempilo, imigangatho yokunxiba]. Ngokunjalo nawe unabayibambe bayiqinisa imfundiso yamaNikolawo [ukunqula ilanga, uSanta Claus, njalo njalo], nto leyo endiyithiyileyo. Guquka; okanye ndoza kuwe kamsinya, ndenze imfazwe nabo ngalo ikrele lomlomo wam [iBhayibhile]. Lowo unendlebe, makayive into ayithethayo uMoya kuwo amabandla. Lowo weyisayo ndiya kumnika ukuba adle kuyo imana efihlakeleyo, ndimnike ilitye elimhlophe; ( ISityhilelo 2:12-17 )
[IPergamo] isusela kwinxalenye yesine, yesihlanu neyokuqala yenkulungwane yesithandathu [kuphinda-phindo ixesha elisemva ko-1936 loSocialism kaZwelonke, ixesha lobukomanisi, iMfazwe yoMlomo kwaye ekugqibeleni intshukumo yeenkolo]. Xa uSathana wabonayo ukuba wayengenakuyitshabalalisa icawa ngentshutshiso, wazama ukuyonakalisa ngokuyilukuhla ukuba ilalanise norhulumente. [ukulalanisa okwamkelweyo kunye norhulumente kaHitler, i-ecumenism kunye nokunye okuninzi okufunda kumanqaku azayo], yaye ngaloo ndlela abahedeni abangaguqukiyo [umz. amaJesuit] bangena ebandleni baza banikela ngeemfundiso zabo. Ubuhedeni, obabungenile ecaweni, baburhoxisa amandla alo omoya.
Siyazi ukuba i-Orion isixelela ngokukodwa ngeecawa ze-Seventh-day Adventist kunye nembali yazo. Ke umbuzo ngulo: kwenzeka ntoni kanye kanye kwibandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist ukuze liphuhlise libe libandla leecumenical, okanye ngamanye amazwi, umkrexezikazi? Ukufunda ngakumbi malunga nokuba kutheni icawa exhasa umbutho we-ecumenical ikuwexuko, ndingathanda ukubhekisa umfundi kwinqaku elinesihloko esithi I-Ecumenical Adventist kudidi Akwenzekanga Nto?
Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba esi siganeko soyikekayo sisekho ngokuyintloko ngenxa yembono ephosakeleyo yeenkokeli ezithile ebudeni beMfazwe Yehlabathi ezimbini, kuba ezo nkokeli zazinembono yokuba amaSabatha anokuba nenxaxheba kwinkonzo yasemkhosini ngaphandle kokwaphula imithetho kaThixo, njengoko amaSabatha oHlaziyo egxininisa ngolo hlobo?
Andiqondi. Masifunde ingxelo esanda kupapashwa kuyo Ihlabathi lama-Adventist ngalo mba, ibhalwe ngowayesakuba ngumongameli webandla lehlabathi jikelele lamaSeventh-day Adventist, uJan Paulsen:
Ukucinga Ngokucacileyo Ngenkonzo Yasemkhosini
NguJan Paulsen
Ngeendlela ezininzi, ndingumntwana weMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi. Ndiseyinkwenkwana, ndayibona inkxwaleko eyoyikekayo ngaloo minyaka—ukonakala kobomi, ukudodobala kweentsapho, nezidubedube ezinkulu kwibutho labantu. Intsapho yakowethu yayifudukele kwelo lizwe, yaye kangangeminyaka emihlanu yemfazwe sasihlala kwiflethi yomgcini wesikolo esidala. Amagumbi okufundela aye aguqulwa aba ziindawo zokulala ezazihlala amajoni aselula aseJamani angaphezu kwama-300.
Ndikhumbula ngenye imini ngasekupheleni kwemfazwe ndibuza umama, “Kutheni elila amajoni aseJamani?” Ndabeva belila emagumbini abo. Umama waphendula wathi: “Ngamakhwenkwe aselula. Bayalikhumbula ikhaya labo; bayabakhumbula oomama nootata babo. Abasiqondi isizathu sokuba babe lapha kwindawo ebandayo esemantla eNorway. Abasiqondi isizathu sokuba babe yinxalenye yako konke oku.” Yayingabafana, bavinjwe ithuba lokukhula namava olutsha lolunye uhlobo.
Namhlanje, ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-60 ukususela ngelo xesha, ihlabathi liye lenza iinguqulelo ezinkulu—kwezopolitiko, ezoqoqosho nezobugcisa. Ukanti indima yomkhosi kubomi bezizwe ezininzi, kwakunye neengxabano zamazwe ngamazwe ehlabathini lonke, isaqhubeka ibeka ngokuqinileyo phambi kwethu umbuzo obalulekileyo wokuziphatha nowomoya: UmKristu—umKrestu wamaSabatha—ufanele anxulumane njani nomkhosi? Yaye xa kufuneka senze ukhetho lokuya emkhosini—enoba ngumlo okanye esinye isikhundla—yiyiphi imigaqo esifanele sisikhokele?
Imigaqo esisikhokelo
Sonke siziva sinolwalamano olomeleleyo-imvakalelo yomanyano-nabantu bethu kunye nelizwe lethu. Ubumi bethu besizwe busenza sibe nemvo yokunyaniseka, ukuba nesabelo kwimizabalazo kunye nolonwabo lwabantu esiphila phakathi kwabo. Akukho nto ilungileyo ngokuzahlula kuluntu lwethu. Kungokwemvelo ukuba neqhayiya ngoluntu, kwaye kuyimpilo ukuthatha inxaxheba kubomi besizwe esikulo. Ukanti le mvakalelo yobumbano ifanele ukuzibonakalisa njani xa kufikwa kumkhosi welizwe lethu, xa umsebenzi wethu ophambili kuThixo uphakamisa iingxabano ekungasoloko kulula ukuzixolelanisa?
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba nayiphi na ingxoxo yesi sihloko kufuneka ihlale kwiziseko ezibini ezibalulekileyo.
Okokuqala, icawe ibizwa ngokuba lilizwi elicacileyo lomgaqo.
Imfazwe, uxolo nokuba nenxaxheba kwinkonzo yasemkhosini ayingombandela wokuziphatha. ISibhalo asithulanga kwezi zinto, kwaye ibandla, njengoko litolika lize livakalise imigaqo yesiBhalo, kufuneka libe lilizwi elinegunya lokuziphatha nempembelelo. Olu ayiloxanduva “lokuzikhethela”—esinokuthi silubeke ecaleni xa singakhululekanga okanye sichasane neemvakalelo zesininzi. Ukuba sithe cwaka, siyasilela kumsebenzi wethu kuThixo nasebantwini.
Okwesibini, ibandla sisithunywa sikaThixo sobabalo.
Xa uphethe izixhobo uthetha ukuba ukulungele ukuzisebenzisa ukuthatha ubomi bomnye. Oku, kwakhona, luxanduva olusisiseko. Wonke umntu, kungakhathaliseki ukuba ukhetha ntoni na okanye ukuziphatha kwakhe, unexabiso elingenasiphelo kuThixo. Njengoko icawa izichaza ngalo mbandela yaye inikela isiluleko kumalungu ayo nakuluntu ngokubanzi, ayifanele izivumele ukuba isilibale esi sibakala singenakuguquleka: uThixo esimkhonzayo ngumphilisi noMsindisi. Ukuphilisa kunye nokusindisa ikwalishishini lokuqala lecawe. Njengoko abantu ngabanye bezamana nale mibuzo—yaye mhlawumbi besenza ukhetho abanqwenela ukuba ngebengazange balufumane—icawa imele ihlale ibonakalisa uthando lukaThixo olungenasiphelo noluphilisayo.
Ngoko ke, ndikhumbula ezi zinto, ndingathanda ukucinga ngemibuzo emibini ephathelele isimo sengqondo secawa ngokuphathelele inkonzo yasemkhosini, ngokwembali nanamhlanje. Le mibuzo—imimandla ebanzi exhalabisayo—ifike kum amaxesha ngamaxesha kule minyaka idlulileyo njengoko bendindwendwela amarhamente neenkokeli zecawa kwiindawo ezininzi zehlabathi.
1. Ilahleko yokucaca?
Indima eyimbali yecawa yethu ngokuphathelele inkonzo yomkhosi yachazwa ngokucacileyo malunga neminyaka eli-150 eyadlulayo—kwasekuqaleni kwembali yethu, ngokuchasene nemvelaphi yeMfazwe Yamakhaya yaseMerika. Imvumelwano, echazwe kumanqaku kunye namaxwebhu exesha, kunye nesisombululo seNkomfa Jikelele ye-1867, yayingathandabuzekiyo. “…[T] ukuphatha izikhali, okanye ukubandakanyeka emfazweni, kukwaphulwa okuthe ngqo kweemfundiso zoMsindisi wethu nomoya kunye neleta yomthetho kaThixo” (1867, iSeshini yeNkomfa yeSihlanu yoNyaka). Ngokubanzi, oku kuye kwaba ngumgaqo wethu osisikhokelo: Xa uphatha izixhobo ubonisa ukuba ukulungele ukuzisebenzisa ukuze ubulale omnye wabantwana bakaThixo, yaye ukuthabatha ubomi bomnye wabantwana bakaThixo, kwanobo “botshaba” lwethu, akuvisisani noko sikugqala njengokungcwele nokulungileyo.
Ukutyhubela iminyaka, lo mgaqo uye wabumba ukuziphatha kwama-Seventh-day Adventist ngamaxesha oxolo neengxabano. Abaninzi baye bakhetha ukwenza umsebenzi wezonyango kwimikhosi exhobileyo. Bathatha inxaxheba njengabaphilisi. Bathi kuhlanga lwabo: “Andinakusebenza njengombulali; bekuya kunditshabalalisa njengomntu. Kodwa ndiyakwazi ukunceda abantu abakhathazwa yile ngxabano. Ndinokusebenza njengomKristu ukuba ndiyakwazi ukusebenza njengomphilisi.”
Namhlanje kwamanye amazwe abantu abaselula banyanzelwa ukuba baye emkhosini. Ngethamsanqa, kwiimeko ezininzi kunikezelwa enye inkonzo, leyo engafuni mntu uqeqeshelwa okanye asebenzise izixhobo. Olu khetho lunokuchitha unyaka onesiqingatha senza umsebenzi onzima wokwakha iindlela okanye ukunceda kwenye iprojekthi yoluntu.
Kukho, nangona kunjalo, amanye amazwe apho uyilo lukuhlutha amandla okuziphatha njengekholwa lama-Adventist. Aninako ukuyigcina iSabatha. Awunikwa nto yimbi ngaphandle kokuphatha izixhobo. Kwiimeko ezinjalo, kukho ukhetho olunzima kakhulu phambi kwakho. Ukwamkela isohlwayo sokuchasa—mhlawumbi nokuvalelwa entolongweni—kusenokuba sisigqibo osenzayo ukuze uthembeke kwiinkolelo zakho ezisisiseko nakwiNkosi yakho.
Ngaba namhlanje kukho ukubhideka ngokuphathelele ukuma kwecawa? Ngaba senze umsebenzi omhle wokuyichaza le migaqo? Ngokucacileyo, lo mbuzo awuyi kuphendulwa ngendlela efanayo kuzo zonke iicawa zehlabathi. Ukanti, ekuthetheni namalungu ecawa kumazwe amaninzi awahlukeneyo ndiye ndaziva, maxa wambi, ukungavisisani okuthile ngokuphathelele isikhundla sethu sembali—ingqiqo, mhlawumbi, yokuba “kwakunjalo ngoko, nangoku kungoku.” Kwaye nangona kunjalo andisazi isizathu sokuba kutheni le nto kufuneka ibe njalo.
2. Ukuswela ukhokelo lokuziphatha?
Oku kundikhokelela kumbuzo wam wesibini. Ngaba sinikela isikhokelo esaneleyo kwiicawe zethu nakwizikolo zethu kubantu abancinci njengoko bejongene nokukhetha okunzima malunga nenkonzo yasemkhosini? Ngaba maxa wambi siye sayityeshela indima yethu njengekhampasi yokuziphatha kulo mbandela? Ngenxa yokungabikho kokhokelo oluvela kwiicawe zabo, ngaba abanye abantu abaselula bakujonga ukungenela umkhosi “njengenye ikhondo lomsebenzi,” endaweni yokuba sisigqibo esintsonkothileyo sokuziphatha esinemiphumo efikelela kude, mhlawumbi engalindelekanga, kubomi babo bokomoya?
Akunzima ukuqonda amandla anokukhokelela umntu ukuba acinge ngomsebenzi wasemkhosini. Ukhetho lwabo lusenokuqhutywa ngumnqweno wokukhonza ilizwe labo, okanye umkhosi usenokuvula amathuba emfundo nawomsebenzi asenokubonakala engafumaneki naphi na. Ulutsha lusenokulujonga njengokhetho lwexesha elifutshane, inyathelo elifunekayo lokunyathela kwenye into. Basenokukujonga “njengobubi obuyimfuneko”—indlela esa kwikamva abathi, ngenxa yokungabi namali okanye amanye amathuba, bamele bawasebenzise ukuze bafeze oko banokukwenza.
Ukanti kwezinye iimeko, ukubhalisa ngokuzithandela kumkhosi oxhobileyo kukuncama ukhetho lukabani lokungaphathi izixhobo, okanye ukucela amalungiselelo okugcinwa kweSabatha. Ukhetha ngokukhululekileyo ukuncama amalungelo akho kwezi zinto. Kwaye ke bendiya kubuza: “Ngaba ngokwenene uyicingile le nto? Ngaba ukhe wayiqwalasela imiphumo kulwalamano lwakho noKristu nokona kunzulu iinkolelo zakho?”
Bambi basenokuyibala ingozi baze bathi: “Nangona ngokobugcisa ndingenakuzikhethela enoba ndiya kuziphatha okanye ndingaziphathanga kusini na izixhobo, maninzi amathuba okuba, abasithoba kwabalishumi, ndingazibhaqa ndikwimeko yokulwa apho kuya kufuneka ndizisebenzise.” Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuba uya ekulweni okanye awukho, wenze isigqibo malunga nemilinganiselo ethile esisiseko kwaye ubhengeze oku esidlangalaleni. Uyakwamkela ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba uhle ngaloo ndlela, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo oku kuya kwenza okuthile kuwe njengomntu. Kuya kutshintsha kwaye kukubumbe. Ekukhetheni ngokuqhubekayo ukwamkela iimeko apho unokufuneka uphathe izixhobo okanye uphulukane namandla akho okugcina iSabatha, ndicebisa ukuba ubeke iziseko zomoya nezokuziphatha zobomi bakho emngciphekweni omkhulu.
Ke, xa abaqeshwa bomkhosi besiza kwiiyunivesithi nakwiikholeji zethu, okanye nakwizikolo zethu zasesekondari, bebeka phambi kwabafundi abancinci amathuba akhoyo emkhosini, ngaba icawe ibonelela ngomyalezo ocacileyo, omnye? Ngaba ukho umntu obuzayo: “Ngaba ukhe wayiqwalasela le nto? Ngaba ukhe wacinga ukuba oku kunokukwenza ntoni kuwe? Ngaba ukhe wacinga ngexabiso onokuthi ulihlawule ngokwemilinganiselo esisiseko oyixabisileyo?” ISebe le-Chaplaincy Ministries kwiNkomfa Jikelele liphuhlisa amanyathelo athile okunceda ukunika iingcebiso ezifuneka kakhulu kunye neengcebiso ezikolweni zethu nakwiicawe, kwaye ndiyakwamkela oku.
Ndivakalelwa ngakumbi kwabo bantu bathathe "umngcipheko obaliweyo" kwaye bazifumana betsaleleke kwimeko yokulwa, eyona ndawo babeyithembile kwaye bathandazela ukuyiphepha. Ababoni ndlela yakuphuma. Ifanele ithini icawa yabo kubo? “Ndikuxelele njalo?” "Inyala kuwe?" Hayi! Icawe luluntu olukhonzayo, oluphilisayo, olusindisayo. Eli lixesha apho umntu osemtsha, kungakhathaliseki ukhetho olungelulo okanye amajiko angalunganga, kufuneka eve ukwangiwa yicawe yakhe.
isiphelo
Esi ayisosihloko silula, kwaye “ayisosipheleleyo”; yinkalo nje enye yombandela obanzi wemfazwe, uxolo nembopheleleko yobuKristu. Kwaye imibuzo endiyibuzileyo ayiziboleki iimpendulo zesandi okanye iimpendulo ezimbambayo. Yimibuzo evelisa iimvakalelo ezinamandla—maxa wambi ezibonakala zingabonakali. Bafikelela nzulu ekuziqondeni nasekuzaziseni kwethu, njengabemi belizwe lethu kunye namalungu osapho lukaThixo. Iimpendulo zethu zibunjwe ubukhulu becala ngamava ethu kunye nenkcubeko yethu, kunye nothando lwethu ngelizwe lethu kunye nomnqweno wethu wokwabelana ngembali yalo kunye nekamva. Nangona le miba inzima, ayinakubekelwa bucala ngenxa yesi sizathu. Ngoko ke masiziqwalasele ezi zinto kunye—emakhayeni ethu, ezicaweni zethu, nasezikolweni zethu—kwaye masikwenze oko ngeentliziyo ezivulekileyo nomoya wokuthobeka.
Le yinkcazo ecacileyo yokuba ukuthwala izixhobo okanye ukuthatha inxaxheba kwinkonzo yasemkhosini kuchasene nama-Adventist, kunye nokuchasana nobuKristu. Ndinabahlobo abaninzi kwicawa enkulu abangenalo uluvo olufanayo nabakholelwa ukuba iicawa zoHlaziyo zingqongqo gqitha. Hayi, bahlobo abathandekayo, umongameli webandla lenu unicacisele apha kwakhona ngokungathandabuzekiyo! Kusisono ukubulala ummelwane wakho nokuba kusemfazweni; kusisono nokuphatha izixhobo. Yintoni engafumani nto ikhankanywe kwinqaku elipheleleyo, nangona kunjalo, yindlela abafeli-nkolo abanikela ngayo ubomi babo kwiiMfazwe ezimbini zeHlabathi ngale nkolelo. “Jan Paulsen othandekayo, awukwazanga nokubakhankanya abantakwenu abathe bafela esi sigwebo unaso? Okanye ngaba kusafuneka udlale uzimele ukuze kungabikho mntu uya kuphawula ukuba kukho iicawa ezimbini zoHlaziyo? Ewe, ndiyakuqonda, kodwa ngaba kufuneka unyathele ngamandla kwiinzwane esele zibuhlungu zeReform Adventist, ungabakhankanyi nakwingxelo yakho malunga nalo mba uphikisene kakhulu? Okanye ngaba kukho i-ajenda efihliweyo emva kwengxelo yakho?"
Kodwa yima, iphi ingxaki phakathi kwamabandla kulo mba? Ingxaki ayisekho! Emva kwenkcazelo eneenkcukacha yomongameli webandla ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ubuncinane lo mbandela ufanele ucace ngokupheleleyo! Akukho kuphatha izixhobo, akukho nkonzo yasemkhosini, akukho kubulala kungakhathaliseki ukuba kunjani okanye phantsi kwaziphi na iimeko. Balindi zintanda, kutheni ke ukuba nisenengxaki nabazalwana benu ebandleni elikhulu?
Inyaniso kukuba ikho eminye imijelo enzulu, kodwa besiya kuyikhangela phi? Kwaye kufuneka siwabhekise phi amandla ethu ukuqinisekisa ukuba le miqobo ibonakala ingenakoyiswa inokoyiswa phakathi kweecawe? Njengoko sonke sisazi, konke kuxhomekeke ekuthobeleni imiyalelo kaThixo kunye nobungqina buka-Ellen G. White. Iicawa zeSeventh Day Adventist Reform zibeke ingqwalasela yazo kwisigidimi sezempilo (ukusa kwinqanaba lokuba ziphantse zingaboni nantoni na eyenye), kwaye icawa yamaSabatha inembono “yenkululeko” yezinto, enamanani obulungu abaluleke ngaphezu kokukhalimela abazalwana noodade abanganyanisekanga. Ngoko ke, ukuthanda ihlabathi kulibambe ngakumbi nangakumbi ibandla, yaye asifanele simangaliswe kukuba uninzi lwayo ngoku Ama-Adventist eeNkonzo.
Ngelixa abanye bavula ucango lwehlabathi (ngeentsuku ezivulekileyo kunye neecawe zobumbano, iintsuku zecawa yehlabathi jikelele, ukuthatha inxaxheba koluntu kuzo zonke iintlobo kwiziganeko ze-ecumenical, njl. njl.), abanye balinda iingcango ezivela kubazalwana babo, bexhobe ngamazinyo okomoya kunye no-Ellen G. White ucaphula kunye neendinyana zeBhayibhile, kwaye ukuba umntu wenza intshukumo enye ephosakeleyo aze axutywe phantsi kweentlanganiso zeeyure ezintathu ngoko nangoko. Zombini azilunganga; zombini zigqithisile. Ukuba ngumKristu kuthetha ukuba ngolungeleleneyo, kungekhona ukubaxa. Uthando lufanele lube sisiseko sokuqhubana nomnye umntu, kungekhona ukufuna ingeniso okanye ukukhula kwentlangano, okanye ukungaqondwa kakuhle nokubaxiweyo inkululeko, okanye ukuba nenzondelelo yempambano. Kodwa siwuzoba phi umgca? Ngaba sele silifumene icebiso ngoku? Okanye ngaba uThixo usishiye sodwa, phantse exhokonxa iicawa ukuba zilwe ngemibandela enjalo? Ngaba yayiyinjongo Yakhe ukubangela ukwahlukana phakathi kwamabandla eSeventh-day Adventist ngokushiya iingongoma ezithile zisithekile eLizwini lakhe? Kakade akunjalo, yaye kungekudala siya kubona ukuba kwakhona uThixo uye wayibhala ngokucacileyo kwiOrion oko akuko iimfuno nezigidimi Zakhe, nokuba zeziphi iimfundiso eziphuma kuye nezingezizo.
Abaninzi basenokubuza, “Ngokwenene? Ngaba zonke ezi zibhaliwe kwiOrion? Ewe, iOrion isenezifundo ezininzi kwiicawa zethu. Asikaqalisi nokuqonda yonke into. Sele sichonge ixesha apho sinokulindela ukuba i-Orion isibonise into engakumbi, ngokukodwa uluhlu lwexesha ukusuka ku-1936 ukuya ku-1986. Siya kulindela ukuba isicacisele ukuba kwakunokwenzeka njani ukuba ibandla lamaSabatha lifikelele kwimeko yalo ewileyo ngoku. Ngoku siqala ukugrumba ngakumbi kwiOrion kunye!
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, siye saqwalasela kuphela iinkwenkwezi ezikhombayo, izidalwa ezine eziphilileyo zeSityhilelo 4, kunye neenkwenkwezi ezisembindini wewotshi, iAlnitak, inkwenkwezi kaYesu. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku asikayithatheli ngqalelo into yokuba iSibhalo sihlala sithetha ngaso iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe xa kufikwa kwiOrion njengewotshi kaThixo. UYesu uphethe iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe esandleni saKhe, kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku sisebenzise ezintlanu kuphela kwezo ukucombulula iqhina lencwadi ngamatywina asixhenxe. Ngoko, ziziphi iinkwenkwezi ezingekhoyo kwingqwalasela yethu?
Kulungile! Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku asizange sisebenzise iinkwenkwezi ezimbini ezenza enye itrone kaThixo:
Alnilam, embindini weenkwenkwezi zebhanti, itrone kaThixo uYise, kunye
Mintaka, eyona nkwenkwezi yebhanti, itrone yoMoya oyiNgcwele.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku asikaniki nayiphi na intsingiselo okanye imigca kwezi nkwenkwezi. Ndifuna ukuyenza ngoku. Njengangaphambili, sizoba imigca ukusuka embindini wewotshi (Alnitak, inkwenkwezi kaYesu) kodwa ngeli xesha sityhutyha iinkwenkwezi ezimbini zetrone. Ukuba sijonga i-Orion ngeso lenyama, kubonakala ngathi iinkwenkwezi ezintathu zebhanti zihlelwe kumgca ogqibeleleyo, kodwa oko akunjalo ngokwenene. I-Mintaka ingaphezulu kancinci komgca kwaye i-Alnilam ingaphantsi kwayo. Olu tshintsho luncinci lukhokelela kwimigca emibini ekhangeleka ngathi yimitha yokukhanya ehlala ikhula ekhanya kwiminyaka emibini kwiwotshi yeOrion:
Njengoko sinokubona ngokulula emfanekisweni, uYesu utyhila iminyaka emibini eyongezelelweyo ephawulwe kwi-Orion: 1949 kunye ne-1950. Ngoku, ndifuna ukugxininisa ngokusetyenziswa kombala obomvu esijongene nawo apha ngemigca ekhethekileyo kakhulu kunye neminyaka. Ndithetha oku ngenxa yokuba izandla ezimbini zewotshi ezikhomba kule minyaka azenziwanga nguYesu kunye neeserafi (iingelosi ezinamaphiko amathandathu), kodwa bubuThixo buphela: uNyana, uYise noMoya oyiNgcwele ngokwaWo. Aba Bantu bathathu beSiluleko SikaThixo bamelwa ngunxantathu owalatha kowe-1949 nowe-1950! Oku kumalunga nemibandela yobungcwele obugqwesileyo, kwaye sinyathela kumhlaba ongcwele. Imalunga neemfundiso nemiba enxulumene nobuThixo uqobo apho ubuThixo necebo lakhe losindiso lwahlaselwa! Nceda, singaze siyilibale le nto njengoko siqhubeka kwisifundo sethu!
Ngoku makhe sihlolisise ngamnye kule mihla ikhethekileyo size sizame ukufumanisa okwenzekayo ngaloo minyaka ebaluleke gqitha kuThixo nakubantu Bakhe kangangokuba yabalaseliswa kwiOrion kunye “Imigca yeTrone”, njengoko ndiza kubiza lo nxantathu ukhethekileyo ukusukela ngoku ukuya phambili. Kuhambo lwethu kumava adlulileyo ebandla lama-Adventist, siya kufumanisa izinto ezingazange zahlule ibandla ngaphakathi kwiinkampu ezahlukeneyo, kodwa zisathintela amabandla ukuba ahlangane.
Siya kufumanisa ukuba uThixo uyiphawule le minyaka ukuze asibonise ngokucacileyo into esahlulayo, kananjalo nokubonisa eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu ayibeke kule miba yenkolo noko afuna sikwenze. Ufuna simanyane, kwaye uyasibonisa ukuba akukho nalinye ibandla elimi enyanisweni. Kuya kutyhilwa kuphando lwethu ukuba akukho nanye kwiicawa ekwenza ngokwenene ukuthanda kukaThixo. Inyaniso iya kubonakaliswa ngokugqibeleleyo nangokucacileyo—inyaniso athe uThixo wayiqinisekisa kwisityhilelo Sakhe esikhulu, incwadi enamatywina asixhenxe eOrion. Amanqaku alandelayo aza kubonisa imiphumo emibi kwiinkokeli ezininzi, yaye kuya kufuneka zenze isigqibo enoba ziyaqhubeka zibambelele kwiimbono zazo zangaphambili zize ziye entshabalalweni, okanye zifundise zize ziphile oko uThixo akufunayo kuzo. Ndicinga ukuba abaninzi kubo babesele besoyika ukufa kamsinya nje bakubona imihla emibini yonyaka omtsha kwitshathi engasentla; bayazi kakuhle ukuba bathetha ukuthini.
Ukwenza isigqibo ngoThixo kuya kufuna umbingelelo ophezulu weenkokeli ezininzi. Inyaniso inexabiso layo! Kwabaninzi, kuya kuthetha ukuphulukana nayo yonke inkxaso yabo yehlabathi ukuba bemi ngakwicala likaThixo. Ngamana angabanceda bayazi inyaniso kwaye abanike amandla okumenzela izigqibo ezifanelekileyo, nangayiphi na indlela. Wanga angabasikelela—ngabazalwana bethu, emva koko, yaye uYesu wabafela. Kufuneka sibathande ngendlela Awenza ngayo, nathi. IOrion isinceda sahlule inyaniso kwimpazamo ize ilungise abazalwana noodade bethu ngesigidimi sothando sikaThixo esivela kwiOrion.
Ngapha koko, i-144,000 XNUMX lingabafundisi ababumba ibandla laseFiladelfi, yaye elithi “Filadelfi” lithetha “uthando lobuzalwana”!
