IBhayibheli likhuluma ngephuzu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi okuyothi ngemva kwalokho kungasekho muntu oyophinde ashintshe uhlangothi. Labo abakhetha izindlela zokulunga bayoqhubeka nendlela,^[1] futhi labo abakhethe izindlela zobubi ngeke baphinde baphenduke. Lo mhlaba wonke uhlukaniswe amandla anamandla asebenza emphakathini wethu. Wonke umuntu uye waphoqeleka ukuba azivumelanise ngendlela eyodwa noma enye, futhi amandla asenamandla kangangokuthi akusenakwenzeka ukuziqondisa kabusha.

Ongalungile makaqhubeke engalungile, nongcolileyo makaqhubeke engcolile, nolungileyo makaqhubeke elungile, nongcwele makahlale ngcwele. ( IsAmbulo 22:11 )

Wonke umuntu usezakhele ukuhlobana—kungaba izindlela zikaNkulunkulu, noma izindlela zomhlaba. Njengamafayili ensimbi phambi kwamandla kazibuthe, wonke umuntu osebusweni bomhlaba uye waqondiswa amandla angabonakali embulunga yonke.

Sifike nini eqophelweni lokungabuyi? Yimaphi amandla abe nethonya elinamandla ngokwanele ukuletha wonke umuntu esinqumweni? Isiphi isiphetho esilindele izakhamuzi zomhlaba—ngamunye ohlangothini lwazo lombuzo?

Umshado wendabuko phakathi kwendoda eyodwa nowesifazane oyedwa wamiswa nguNkulunkulu ensimini yase-Edene ngaphambi kokungena kwesono emhlabeni. Wabusiswa nguNkulunkulu, futhi wenziwa ngamabomu ukuba ubonakalise umfanekiso waKhe.

Futhi uNkulunkulu wathi, Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu, basifuze, babuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, naphezu kwezinyoni zezulu, naphezu kwezinkomo, naphezu kwawo wonke umhlaba, naphezu kwazo zonke izilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni. ( Genesise 1:26 )

Ngakho, ilungiselelo lomshado linesimiso esiyisisekelo sikahulumeni kaNkulunkulu—uthando nokwethemba, okubonakala ngokuzithoba—futhi umhlaba wawuhloselwe ukuba uchume ngaphansi kwawo, njengoba indawo yonke ichuma othandweni lukaNkulunkulu.

UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; owesilisa nowesifazane wabadala. (UGenesise 1: 27)

Isimiso somshado, esiyisisekelo sokubusa kwasemhlabeni noma ukubusa, sihilela ngokwencazelo indoda eyodwa nowesifazane oyedwa, bobabili bebonakalisa uNkulunkulu njengesibonelo sabo.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iSodoma iqukethe isimiso esikhohlakele sikahulumeni ohlukile onezimiso zawo ezithi “Yenza okuthandayo” nethi “Uma kukuhle, kwenze.” Kunguhulumeni owakhiwe amazwi alinganayo, okubukela phansi umgomo wokwethembana nokuzithoba futhi kubangele isiphithiphithi nokudideka. Nguhulumeni onjalo bephikisana noNkulunkulu, nakuba izenza uthando okuthiwa.

Uphawu lwesilo noPhawu lukaNkulunkulu

Indaba yobutabane ihlukanise umhlaba wonke, kodwa imigqa ayidwetshwanga nje phakathi kwezitabane neziqondile. Isibonelo, kunama-straight amaningi amaningi ahlanganisa izimiso zikaSathane ezivumela ubungqingili. Inkululeko yocansi kanye nokuziphatha okubi ngokujwayelekile kulandela imigqa efanayo. Masicacise futhi ukuthi noma yimuphi umuntu osebenzise amandla kaKristu okunqoba izinkanuko zezilwane—noma ngabe ungowobungqingili noma ubulili obuhlukile—akalahlwa. Umugqa udwetshiwe phakathi kwalabo abazinikele kuNkulunkulu futhi banqoba isono ngamalungiselelo anothile othando Lwakhe, ngokumelene nalabo abaye baziqhenya ngokuziqhenya. senziwe (bakhulekela) izinkanuko zabo (njengasembuthweni weGay Pride). Bamemezela obala isimilo sabo sobulwane, bevuma obala uphawu lwesilo.

Ngokuphambene, uPhawu lukaNkulunkulu luphezu kwalabo abangenabugovu abangaqhubeki ukuzanelisa, kodwa kunalokho bahloniphe umenzi wabo ngokuphakamisa nokuvikela izimiso zikahulumeni waKhe, hhayi kuphela ezimpilweni zabo (abashadile noma cha), kodwa nasekubuseni komphakathi ngokunjalo. Akudingeki ukuba umuntu ashade ukuze abe nophawu lukaNkulunkulu—kodwa kufanele asekele futhi asekele futhi ahloniphe ilungiselelo lomshado lase-Edene njengesisekelo seqiniso nesokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu sabo bonke ohulumeni. Ngamanye amazwi, kufanele ihloniphe abazali bayo—okungokwemvelo owesilisa nowesifazane.

Futhi UNkulunkulu wababusisa, uNkulunkulu wathi kubo: Zalani, nande, nigcwalise umhlaba, niwunqobe, nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni. ( Genesise 1:28 )

UNkulunkulu wabusisa ilungiselelo lomshado ngokulihlaba umxhwele ngelaKhe uphawu, okusho ukuthi ilungiselelo lomshado, njengesisekelo somphakathi, liphethe igunya likaNkulunkulu. Isigxivizo esisemthethweni sihlanganisa igama, ihhovisi kanye nendawo—konke okuhilelekile emshadweni njengoba singakhipha emavesini acashunwe ngenhla.

Ngokwe-akhawunti yeNdalo, siyakwazi lokho uNkulunkulu (Igama lakhe) nguye Umenzi (Ihhovisi lakhe) la amazulu nomhlaba (Indawo yakhe). UNkulunkulu wagcizelela izici zophawu lwaKhe phezu kwelungiselelo lomshado, ngoba uNkulunkulu (Igama lakhe) nguye Umenzi (isikhundla sakhe) owenza umuntu—owesilisa nowesifazane—ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, futhi wabanika ukubusa (indawo). Empeleni, ngelungiselelo lomshado, uNkulunkulu wabeka umuntu phezu kwayo yonke indalo ukuze abuse emhlabeni ngaphansi kwegunya Lakhe, njengesandiso sokubusa Kwakhe kwendawo yonke.

Umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu nophawu lukaNkulunkulu ziyizinto zokuqala eziwumfanekiso wesilo nophawu lwesilo. UPawulu uchaza inguquko esuka endleleni yokuqala yokumesaba uNkulunkulu eya kongamesabi uNkulunkulu esahlukweni sokuqala sencwadi yakhe eya kwabaseRoma:

Ngezinto zakhe ezingabonakali kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba kuyabonakala, kuqondwa ngezinto ezenziweyo, ngisho amandla akhe aphakade nobuNkulunkulu bakhe; ukuze bangabi lezaba; Ngokuba kuthe sebemazi uNkulunkulu, kabamdumisanga njengoNkulunkulu, kababonganga; kodwa baba yize emicabangweni yabo, nenhliziyo yabo ewubuwula yaba mnyama. Bezisho ukuthi bahlakaniphile, baba yiziwula; Futhi bashintsha inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ongabhubhi yaba i isithombe senziwe safana nomuntu obhubhayo, nezinyoni, nezilwane ezinezinyawo ezine, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo. Ngalokho-ke uNkulunkulu wabanikela ezinkanukweni zezinhliziyo zabo ekungcoleni, ukuze bahlazisane imizimba yabo phakathi kwabo, abaguqule iqiniso likaNkulunkulu libe ngamanga; bakhuleka, bakhonza okudaliweyo kunoMdali; obongekayo kuze kube phakade. Amen. Ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu wabanikela ekuhuhekeni okuyichilo, ngokuba nabesifazane babo baguqula ukwenza kwemvelo kwaba ngokuphambene nemvelo, kanjalo nabesilisa bayeka ukwenza kwemvelo kowesifazane, bashiswa ukukhanukelana; abesilisa benza okuyichilo namadoda, bezuza kubo imbuyiselo efanele yokuduka kwabo. Njengalokho bengathandanga ukuba nokwazi uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wabanikela emqondweni eyonakele, ukuba benze okungafanele; begcwaliswe yikho konke ukungalungi, ubufebe, ububi, ukufisa, inzondo; begcwele umona, ukubulala, ukuphikisana, inkohliso, ubuxhwanguxhwangu; abahlebayo, abahlebayo, abazonda uNkulunkulu, abadelelayo, nabazidlayo, nabazidlayo, nabaqambi bokubi, nabangalaleli abazali, nabangaqondi, nabaphula isivumelwano, abangenalo uthando lwemvelo, abangenacala, abangenasihawu, abathi besazi isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu sokuthi abenza lokho bafanele ukufa, abakwenzi lokho kuphela, kodwa bathokozela abakwenzayo. ( Roma 1:20-32 )

UPawulu ukhuluma ngoshintsho olusuka emfanekisweni wobuNkulunkulu (umshado ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu) luye emifanekisweni yezilwane—noma ngamanye amazwi, umfanekiso wesilo—futhi usichaza ngokuthi ubufebe kuzo zonke izici zaso ezingcolile, okuyisibonelo saso sonke isono. Kuwukuziphatha okumsulwa kobulwane ngomqondo wokuthi “uma kumnandi, kwenze.” Kuyafaneleka ukuyibiza ngokuthi umfanekiso wesilwane (umfanekiso wesilo), kodwa empeleni ubudlwembe bubi kakhulu kunalokho okungenziwa yinoma yisiphi isilwane, ngoba isilwane asinanembeza, amandla okucabanga, noma ukuzibamba ngokweqile.

UNkulunkulu wadala umuntu ehlukile kuzo zonke ezinye izidalwa ezilwaneni. I-Stimulus ihlale ilandelwa impendulo enesimo esibikezelwe ezilwaneni, kodwa umuntu yedwa unamandla okuzikhethela phakathi kwesisusa nokusabela. Izilwane zinesimo (noma ziqeqeshwe), kodwa umuntu yedwa ongakwazi khetha. Labo abaye bamukela ubungqingili baye bazehlisela ezingeni lezilwane ezinonya, kanjalo banophawu lwesilo—kungaba esandleni sabo olumelela ukuziphatha kwabo, noma emabunzini abo olumelela ifilosofi yabo yokuphila enjengezilwane.

Ngaphambi nje kokuba uNkulunkulu abhubhise izambulo zangaphambi kukazamcolo, wenza ukuthi izilwane ngokwazo zifakaze ngokumelene nobubi babantu ngokungena emkhunjini ngamabili owesilisa nezinsikazi, ngokohlelo lwaphezulu.

Kuyo yonke into ephilayo kuyo yonke inyama, uyakungenisa ezimbili kuzo zonke izinhlobo, ukuze ziphile kanye nawe; bayakuba ngowesilisa nowesifazane. (UGenesise 6: 19)

Kuzo zonke izilwane ezihlambulukileyo uyakuzithathela ngasikhombisa; owesilisa nowesifazane wakhe: nezilwane ezingahlambulukile ngambili. owesilisa nowesifazane wakhe. Ezinyonini zezulu ngesikhombisa; owesilisa nowesifazane; ukugcina inzalo iphila ebusweni bomhlaba wonke. ( Genesise 7:2-3 )

kwangena ngambili kuNowa emkhunjini. owesilisa nowesifazane, njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile uNowa. ( Genesise 7:9 )

Nabangenayo bangena owesilisa nowesifazane yenyama yonke, njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile; Nkosi amvalele phakathi (Genesise 7:16)

Ingqophamlando Emgwaqweni Oya Ekubhujisweni

Ukunikeza ongqingili ilungelo lokushada, kwakuyisigaba sokuqala sokuhlaselwa komthetho kaNkulunkulu e-United States, lapho isizwe safaka khona uphawu lwesilo, kodwa sashiya ithuba lokuba abantu ngabanye bahlale bethembekile kuNkulunkulu ngokukhuluma ngokumelene nalo futhi bangahlanganyeli kukho. I-US ingene kuleso sigaba ngoJuni 26, 2015. Abantu abaningi sebevele bahlupheka ngenxa yalokho, ngenxa yokwenqaba ukusiza ongqingili, kodwa leso yisigaba sokuqala kuphela.

Isigaba esilandelayo siwukunqunywa kwenkululeko yokukhuluma. Lokho kuyeza njengoba ngibhala lokhu—futhi kuza ngokushesha kangangokuthi ngiyazibuza ukuthi siyokwazi yini ukushicilela izihloko ezinjengalesi kuze kube nini. Kwenzeka yonke indawo emhlabeni jikelele, kodwa okwenzeka eYurophu nase-US kwenza izindaba ikakhulukazi. EYurophu, abantu babhekwa njengenhlekisa emphakathini, balahlekelwa imisebenzi, baphucwa impahla yabo, futhi ngokuvamile balahlekelwa yikho konke—konke ngenxa yokukhuluma izwi nje! Ukuphawula komphakathi akusavunyelwe ezinye izinhlangano zabezindaba. Imithetho yokubekezelela nokucwasa isho ukuthi awukwazi ukukhuluma ngokukhululeka (okubi) mayelana nezikhulu zomphakathi, izinhlangano, ohulumeni, noma amaqembu abantu ngoba kuthathwa “njengenkulumo enenzondo” emelene nabo.^[2] E-US, usungakwazi kakade ukuphequlula “imephu enenzondo” yomphakathi ebonisa ezinye izinhlangano ezimangazayo ezithathwa njengamaqembu anenzondo yiSouthern Poverty Law Center enethonya, ephakela umkhandlu wamaphekula wasekhaya osanda kwakhiwa, okuhloswe ngawo ukunqanda inkulumo ekhululekile emzamweni wokuvimbela ukuqeqeshwa yamaphekula.^[3] Iphuzu elilodwa okufanele licatshangelwe ukuthi: kungani lezi zinhlobo zezinyathelo zicindezelwa ngokushesha, uma kuhloswe ngazo ukuvimbela ukwanda kwesizukulwane esizayo samaphekula? Ingabe usuku, noma inyanga, noma unyaka, okuzokwenza umehluko—noma ingabe kukhona isisusa sangasese esinikeza ukuphuthuma?

Imithetho yokubekezelelana iyoba imbangela yobumnyama obukhulu, futhi iyovimbela “ukuthenga nokuthengisa” (ukusakazwa) kweqiniso, njengoba kulotshiwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu.

Futhi wenza bonke, abancane nabakhulu, abacebile nabampofu, abakhululekileyo nezigqila, ukuba bamukele uphawu esandleni sabo sokunene noma emabunzini abo; Futhi kungabikho muntu ongase athenge noma athengise, ngaphandle kwalowo onophawu. noma igama lesilo, noma inombolo yegama laso. (Funda isAmbulo 13:16-17.)

Ukuthengiswa kweBabiloni kuyindikimba evelele ethatha cishe yonke i-18^th isahluko sencwadi yesAmbulo. Ukuthengisa, ukuhweba nokuhweba—ukuthenga nokudayisa—kungaqondwa ngokomfanekiso njengokuhweba noma ukuhwebelana ngezimfundiso, izimfundiso, namafilosofi. IBabiloni linikeza izinkulungwane zezinkulungwane zezimfundiso zalo zamanga, ngayinye eklanyelwe ukukhanga izifiso eziyisono zesixuku esithile. Inkululeko yokukhuluma ivumela iqiniso ukuba lihlanganyele futhi linaniswe—lithengwe futhi lithengiswe—njengoba uJesu aluleka ibandla laseLawodikeya ukuba lenze.^[4] Lapho inkululeko yokukhuluma ivinjelwe, kunzima kakhulu ukushintshisana ngeqiniso nabanye.

Inkinga enkulu namuhla ukubekezelelana kwe-LGBT. Imithetho yokubekezelelana ivikela labo abavumelana ne I-World Order Order, kodwa abafuni ukuvikeleka kunoma ubani “ongabekezeli.” Lokho kusho ukuthi uma ukhuluma noma yini ethathwa njengenkulumo enenzondo, kusho ukuthi ngokuzenzakalelayo ungumuntu onecala futhi awunaso isivikelo ngaphansi komthetho. Lokho kusho ukuthi konke ukusekela kwezwe kuyasuswa kulabo abahlala bethembekile kuNkulunkulu. Kusho ukuthi uma ungabusekeli ubudoda, uma ungawamukeli umfanekiso wesilo, awuvunyelwe ukuhwebelana ngamazwi akho emakethe yokukhuluma mahhala.

Okubi kakhulu, isimemezelo sokufa, noma isigwebo sentambo, ekugcineni sizofika kulabo abasanqaba ukwamukela (ukubekezelela) umshado we-LGBT. Lolu hlaka seluvele lukhona e-United States isikhathi eside, njengoba amaphekula engasabalwa njengabanamalungelo—futhi angaboshwa, ahlukunyezwe, futhi abulawe ngaphandle kwenqubo efanele. Manje leyo nkulumo enenzondo isihlukaniswa njengembangela yobuphekula, futhi njengoba imithetho yokubekezelelana ibekezelela wonke umuntu ngaphandle kokubekezelela, isigwebo sentambo esingenalungelo lokuqulwa kwecala sishoda kancane ngaphandle kokuqaliswa. IBhayibheli likhuluma ngesigwebo sokufa enhluphweni yesithathu:

Ingelosi yesithathu yathululela umganu wayo emifuleni nasemithonjeni yamanzi; zaba ligazi. Ngase ngizwa ingelosi yamanzi ithi: “Ulungile, Nkosi, okhona nowayekhona nosekhona, ngokuba wahlulele kanjalo. Ngokuba bachitha igazi labangcwele nelabaprofethi; futhi ubanikile igazi ukuba baliphuze; ngoba bafanele. Ngezwa elinye livela e-altare lithi: “Yebo, Nkosi Nkulunkulu Somandla, ziqinisile zilungile izahlulelo zakho. ( IsAmbulo 16:4-7 )

Isigwebo sokufa sokungabekezelelani siyothinta bonke abathembekile, sibenze bakhale kuNkulunkulu imini nobusuku ukuze bakhululwe.^[5] Uma umkhulu idolobha umuntu ahlala kulo, lezi zinto zizoba zimbi kakhulu.

Umthetho kazwelonke we-sodomy wase-US wahamba emhlabeni wonke ngoSepthemba 25, 2015, lapho wonke amazwe angu-193 kule planethi esayina Izinjongo Zentuthuko Eziqhubekayo ezingu-17 engqungqutheleni yeZizwe Ezihlangene. Phakathi kwaleyo migomo engu-17 kukhona ukulingana kwabesifazane kanye nokulwa nokubandlululwa—kokubili okungamandla ayinhloko wamalungelo e-LGBT. Umhlaba wonke usayine ezinhlosweni ze-UN! Futhi akuzange kuthathe isikhathi eside ukuba abameleli be-UN bangqongqoze eminyango yezizwe ezisazoyithobela, bezikhuthaza ukuthi zifezekiswe, ngemiphumela yezimali okufanele ibekwe ngenxa yokungalandeli. Kwenzeka ngo-October 6 eParaguay—kungakapheli ngisho namasonto amabili amazwe esayine imigomo emisha!^[6] Izinguquko ezisheshayo zenzeka yonke indawo.

Umdwebo omfushane ka-Lusifa, Odlule Namanje

Ukwamukela noma ukubekezelelwa kobungqingili kuwukuhlasela okuqondile kwegunya elifanele likaNkulunkulu elisungulelwe lo mhlaba eNdalweni njengesandiso sesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu. Uma uthanda, u-Adamu wayeyinkosi yoMhlaba noNkulunkulu. Lapho u-Adamu ewa, lelizwe lawela naye esimweni sokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu, futhi uSathane (owayekade enguLusifa) waba yizwe elisha. de facto umholi, ngoba u-Adamu wayemlalele ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu.

Anazi yini ukuthi lowo enizinikela kuye ukuba nibe yizinceku zokumlalela; niyizinceku zakhe enimlalelayo; loba okwesono kube ngukufa, kumbe ukulalela kube ngukulunga? ( Roma 6:16 )

USathane wathatha igunya likaNkulunkulu phezu kuka-Adamu ngokulinga u-Adamu ukuba one, futhi kanjalo uSathane waba ummeleli weplanethi enguMhlaba emagcekeni asezulwini.^[7] Lokho kumelwa kwakhuthazela kwaze kwaba yilapho uJesu Kristu enqoba uSathane ngesiphambano.

Kalokhu kungukwahlulelwa kwalomhlaba; ( Johane 12:31 )

Wayesephonswa phansi udrako omkhulu, inyoka endala ethiwa uDeveli noSathane; [kanye noLucifer] odukisa umhlaba wonke. waphonswa emhlabeni, nezingelosi zakhe zaphonswa phansi kanye naye. (IsAmbulo 12: 9)

Ukunqoba kukaJesu esiphambanweni kwahlenga umhlaba ekumeleleni uSathane. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, uJesu akabanga nguMmeli wesoni kuphela, kodwa futhi ube ngummeleli wenhlangano yomhlaba wethu ezinkantolo zasezulwini.

Nokho, nakuba uSathane engasakwazi ukumelela yonke iplanethi, usabusa izoni ezenqaba isipho sikaJesu Kristu futhi ezihlala zimlalela. Akanawo amandla phezu komhlaba wonke, kodwa ulawula iningi labantu. Esebenzisa amanxusa angabantu, uSathane usafuna ukufeza umgomo wakhe wokugcina wokuqhwaga isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu ezulwini.

Angaba kanjani nethemba lokukwenza? Kulula—yena nezingelosi zakhe balawula abantu ukuze bafeze izinjongo zakhe ngaye. Singakubona kahle kakhulu manje ngezihloko zezindaba zamanje njengalesi esilandelayo (sadethi ngo-Okthoba 11, 2015): Abantu baseCanada abanethemba lokuvakashela i-Mars bayazamukela izindaba zamanzi emhlabeni. Ngamathuluzi abantu, uSathane uzama ukwandisa uhulumeni wakhe kweminye imihlaba! Inhloso yakhe kusukela ekuqaleni bekungelokuqhwaga umbuso ka-Adamu kuphela, kodwa nesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe. Yingakho i-capsule yasemkhathini eyakhiwayo ukuyisa osomkhathi ku-Mars ibizwa ngokuthi i-ORION. Umgomo omkhulu kaSathane uwukusakaza ukuhlubuka kwakhe kuze kufike esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu e-Orion, futhi indlela yakhe iwukusebenzisa amathuluzi abantu ukuze akwenze.

Uhulumeni kaSathane uqeda ukubusa komyeni nomfazi emshadweni wendabuko (umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu) ngokufaka esikhundleni sawo ngama-LGBTQ amabili alinganayo navamile.xyz abantu abanegunya elilinganayo. Lokho kumelela inhloso yakhe yokukhuphukela emandleni alinganayo noNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe. Ufuna ukuncintisana ngokulinganayo noNkulunkulu, njenge-yin ne-yang, kuze kube phakade.

Ngoba uthe enhliziyweni yakho: Ngizokwenyukela ezulwini, Ngiyakuphakamisa isihlalo sami sobukhosi phezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu, ngihlale phezu kwentaba yenhlangano, ezingxenyeni ezisenyakatho, ngenyukele ngaphezu kwezindawo eziphakeme zamafu; ngizoba njengoPhezukonke. (U-Isaya 14: 13-14)

Inikeza i-saga engapheli ye-Star Wars ukujula okusha kwencazelo ye-gnostic, lapho isikwele esiphelele sabathembekile abangu-144,000 siboniswa njengemigqa ehlelekile njalo yamabutho eziphepho abagqoke okumhlophe. Abantu abalungile bamele ukuhlubuka kukaSathane nezingelosi zakhe, futhi uhulumeni kaNkulunkulu ohlelekile uboniswa njengonokhahlo ngokwedlulele futhi omubi kakhulu. “Amandla”—ukusebenzelana nemimoya—agcwele emfundisweni yawo. Njengoba umuntu ehlezi ethathekile ngokomzwelo esihlalweni semidlalo yaseshashalazini, ulungiselelwa ukuba abe yizimpande zesitha sikaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokwazi. Ngaleyo ndlela ukuzijabulisa yonakalisa imiphefumulo eminingi, kuyilapho beyijabulela le nqubo.

Ngakho, umzabalazo phakathi kwamalungelo e-LGBT ngokumelene nomshado wendabuko empeleni umzabalazo phakathi kokubusa kukaSathane nokukaNkulunkulu. IBhayibheli liyasitshela ukuthi singawubona kanjani amanxusa abantu uSathane amsebenzisayo ukufeza inhloso yakhe. Lithi “izwe” limelene noNkulunkulu. Kukhulunywa lapha ngobuzwe—imibono kanye nefilosofi uSathane abelokhu ethengisa emhlabeni kusukela eKuweni.

...Anazi yini ukuthi ubungane bezwe bungubutha noNkulunkulu? ngakho loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngumngane welizwe uyisitha sikaNkulunkulu. (UJames 4: 4)

Izindlela zikaNkulunkulu zibonakaliswa uthando, oluvezwa emthethweni Wakhe. Yingakho iMithetho Eyishumi ihlanganisa umyalo wokuhlonipha “uyihlo nonyoko” (okuchaza ikhaya njengelihlanganisa ubungqingili abazali) kanye nokungaphingi—okuwukwephula ilungiselelo lomshado, nokukhaphela isimiso sothando.

Babusisiwe abangenacala endleleni, abahamba emthethweni weNkosi Nkosi. ( IHubo 119:1 )

Ngokuphambene, uSathane ubelokhu esebenza ngokungakhathali ukuze aguqule izindlela nemithetho yezwe ngokuvumelana nayo umklamo wakhe. Lapho sibheka izwe namuhla, singalibona kalula ithonya likaSathane. Akumele sibheke okunye ngaphandle kwengqungquthela ye-UN ngoSepthemba 25, 2015, lapho zonke izizwe zomhlaba zavumelana nezinjongo ezintsha zokuthuthukiswa kwe-UN. Lokho kusho ukuthi i-UN manje isendimeni yokusiza uhulumeni kaSathane wezwe elilodwa—futhi USathane ngokwakhe yengamele ngenhlangano yabantu UPapa Francis, inkulumo yakhe eyisikhumbuzo ku-UN yanikezwa ngalolo suku ngomfanekiso ongokomfanekiso kakhulu UMbhoshongo WaseBhabhele (nwebisa isithombe ukuze ubone uphawu oluchazwe). UPapa uFrancis ungumfanekiso womuntu kaSathane uqobo, ukuzenzela njengengilosi yokukhanya.^[8]

USathane usezuze ukunqoba okunjalo phezu kwemiphefumulo yesintu kangangokuthi usephenduke umholi wezwe ngoPapa Francis. Manje ingabe uyaqonda ukuthi kungani isigwebo sentambo sizohlanganiswa nenkulumo enenzondo, futhi kungani lezi zinguquko zinxuswa ngokushesha kangaka kohulumeni bezizwe zomhlaba? I-polarization inamandla kangangokuthi akusekho maphakathi nendawo. Wonke umuntu uthonyezelwe ohlangothini olulodwa noma kolunye.

Ukuwela i-Rubicon

UJulius Caesar, isikhulu sombuso esingumRoma “esibhekwa izazi-mlando eziningi njengomunye wabaphathi bezempi abakhulu kunabo bonke emlandweni,”^[9] ngokungangabazeki inikeza umfanekiso omuhle walokho uSathane ayiko ezama ukufeza ngoPapa Francis. "Udlale indima ebalulekile ezenzakalweni ezaholela ekubhujisweni kweRiphabhulikhi YaseRoma kanye nokukhula koMbuso WaseRoma." Lokho kufana nendima uSathane afuna ukuyifeza “enguqukweni” yombuso kaNkulunkulu, ahlose ukuyifeza ngokufaka owakhe esikhundleni.

USathane wenza ngokumelene noMdali wakhe. NjengoJulius Caesar, uhlanganyela empini enzima kakhulu, futhi uyakwazi lokho.

Siyazi [emaphephandabeni kaKhesari] ukuthi uKhesari akakuthathi kalula lokhu. Uyazi ukuthi uma emashela eRoma namabutho akhe, khona-ke uyisitha somphakathi, nalokho kuyomelwe anqobe, noma afe. Kumfundisi waseRoma onjengoJulius Caesar akukho ukuphila ngaphandle kwenkonzo yezempi; akukho ukuphila ngaphandle kokusebenzela umbuso. Akanakumane ‘ahambe engowokuzalwa ekhaya’ ahlale eGaul, futhi uyaqaphela ukuthi uma ebuyela eRoma, wayezobulawa. Ngalesi sikhathi umngcele osenyakatho kakhulu wendawo yaseRoma e-Italy uMfula iRubicon. Uma othile ewela uMfula iRubicon, usendaweni yaseRoma. Ujenene akumele aweqe lowo mngcele nebutho lakhe - kufanele enze lokho amaRoma akubiza ngokuthi abeke phansi umyalo wakhe, okusho ukuthi adele ilungelo lakhe lokuyala amasosha, futhi ngokuqinisekile angaphathi izikhali. UKhesari namabutho akhe bayangabaza isikhathi eside kulo mfula kuyilapho uKhesari enquma ukuthi enzeni, futhi uKhesari usitshela ukuthi wazisa amasosha akhe ukuthi yibhuloho elincane eliwela umfula, kodwa uma sebewelile kuyodingeka balwe indlela yabo yonke indlela eya eRoma, futhi. UKhesari wazi kahle ukuthi akafaki ukuphila kwakhe nje engozini, kodwa namasosha akhe athembekile, futhi angase anganqobi. UPompey uyisitha esesabekayo. Akunakwenzeka futhi ukugwema iqiniso lokuthi uKhesari wayehlasela umbuso, futhi njengomfundisi waseRoma lokhu kwakuyoba nzima kakhulu kuye, elilingana nokushaya uyihlo. Ubengeke akwenze kalula lokhu. Ekugcineni, wenza isinqumo, sekuyisikhathi sokuhamba, futhi usebenzisa isingathekiso sokugembula: uthi 'Gingqa idayisi', 'Alea jacta est'. Uma amadayisi eqala ukuginqika awakwazi ukulawulwa, yize singazi ukuthi kuyini njengoba amadayisi eginqika nokuwa. UJulius namadoda akhe bawela umfula ngokushesha futhi bamasha isikhathi esiphindwe kabili bebheke eRoma, lapho ababekhona cishe washaya izithunywa ezithunyelwe ukuyokwazisa iSenethi ngokufika kwazo.

—Titchener, Ukubusa Isintu Nokwenza Umhlaba Ulalele

Ungacabanga ukuthi kanjani ukuziphatha okubi umuntu kuzomele kube "ukushaya owakhe uyise!?" Nokho le ndoda ihlonishwa njengendoda enkulu! UPapa Francis akahlukile. Ngemva kokuba esewunqobile kakade umhlaba wonke ngaphandle kobuRoma Katolika, wahamba waya ekhaya eRoma ukuze anqobe iBandla lakhe esigungwini samasonto amathathu. Umgomo wakhe kusukela ekuqaleni kobupapa bekuwukuguqula iBandla, ekugcineni abhidlize isisekelo somshado ngokululaza isehlukaniso nokwamukela ubungqingili.

The idrama yonke yadlalwa eSeventh-day Adventist Church kusenesikhathi, ngakho akukho ukuqagela okuhilelekile kokuthi kwenzekani eSontweni LamaKatolika. Sekuke kwaphrakthizwa futhi kwenziwa. Isinyathelo 1, umshado usengozini. Isinyathelo sesi-2, ubutabane buyavikelwa (kubekezelelwe). Kulula kanjalo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sikhuluma ngakho amasonto or ezombusazwe.

I-Seventh-day Adventist Church ibonise i-Hegelian dialectic ngokucacile okujwayelekile. Ithesis yayiwukugcotshwa kwabesifazane. I-antithesis (noma ukuphikiswa) yayizimisele ukungabi nanguquko. Ngemva kwezimpi eziqinile phakathi kwalezi zinhlangothi zombili ezisongela ukuhlukanisa isonto, kwethulwa umhlangano futhi wavotwa ngo-July 8, 2015 washo lokhu ngokuphumelelayo: “Lalelani ubuholi, ngisho noma buphikisana neBhayibheli nonembeza.” Kanjalo iBandla lama-Adventist elihlangene lawela umugqa futhi lamemezela impi ngokumelene noNkulunkulu. Ukuze kucace, bakhetha ukushaya uBaba wabo.

Lokho kwakuwumkhuba nje oqhutshwa okwenzeka manje eSontweni LamaKatolika. KumaKatolika, le thesis yayiyisidlo semishado engavamile, phakathi kwezinye izinto. Ukuphikisana nakho kwakungelona ushintsho. Ngemva kwezimpi ezinonya phakathi kwalezi zinhlangothi ezimbili ezisongela ukuhlukanisa isonto, ukuhlanganisa kwavela ngokuqondile ezindebeni zikaPontiff oPhakeme ngokwakhe. Ngo-Okthoba 17, 2015, wethula inkulumo yesinodi kuma-50 ayo^th isikhumbuzo esinamagama “okubaluleke kakhulu hhayi nje kuphela empilweni yangaphakathi yeSonto LamaKatolika...kodwa nangobudlelwano bakhe namanye amabandla namaKrestu omphakathi- kusukela eSontweni Lobu-Orthodox, nobufakazi bakhe emhlabeni."^[10] Ngamanye amazwi, wanikeza ikhambi lakhe lokuhlanganisa wonke amahlelo, empeleni ethi, “Ngilaleleni njengomalusi omkhulu, noma ngabe kuphambene noNkulunkulu nonembeza. I yiba nezwi lokugcina.”

Ngakho uPapa uFrancis weqa iRubicon, ememezela impi emelene noNkulunkulu egameni lawo wonke umhlaba wezombangazwe nezenkolo. I-Alea jacta est- ifa liphonswe. Njengoba ijubane elithukuthele lokumasha kwakhe ngokumelene noNkulunkulu lifinyelela wonke umuntu endleleni, ukuthambekela okuhlakulelwe komuntu ngamunye kuyonquma ukuthi idayisi liyobagibela kanjani. Isikhathi sokulungiselela sesiphelile ngesintu, futhi amabutho kaSathane nezithunywa zikaNkulunkulu agijimela empini ngesikhathi esikabili.

Ingabe ubhalisiwe empini? Iluphi uhlangothi osuzilungiselele ukulujoyina, njengoba isikhalo sempi sizwakala edolobheni lakho namuhla? Nakuba sisebenzisa izingathekiso zempi, asikhuthazi ubudlova nganoma iyiphi indlela. Impi ingeyomoya. Akubona ubudlova ukufundisa ukuthi ubungqingili buyisinengiso, nokuthi ubulili obuhlanekezelwe buletha izinhlupho. Akulona ubudlova ukukhuluma ngokuqiniseka komuntu noma ukwenqaba ngomusa ukubhaka ikhekhe! Lena impi phakathi kokulungile nokungalungile futhi ayihlangene nobudlova obungokomzimba. Isingathekiso sempi sifanelekile ngenxa yemiphumela yaphakade esengozini.

Omunye ujenene wezwe odumile wabeka isimo esibi esibhekene naso ngamagama amafushane nadabukisayo:

Uma ungeke ulwele okulungile lapho unganqoba kalula ngaphandle kokuchitheka kwegazi; uma ungeke ulwe lapho ukunqoba kwakho kuqinisekile futhi kungabizi kakhulu; ungase ufike esikhathini lapho kuzodingeka ulwe nazo zonke izingqinamba ezimelene nawe kanye nethuba eliyingozi kuphela lokusinda. Kungase kube necala elibi nakakhulu. Kungase kudingeke ulwe uma kukhona alikho ithemba lokunqoba, ngoba kungcono ukubhubha kulokuphila njengezigqili.

-Winston S. Churchill

Lokho kungafundwa kunoma yimuphi umbono, kunoma yiluphi uhlangothi lwempi. Cabanga ngakho, futhi wazi ukuthi isitha sizohamba kude kangakanani. Sinethemba elanele lokunqoba, ukube nje amasosha angavuka asebenze! Kodwa ingabe lokho kuyohlale kunjalo? Lolu wubizo lwakho lokugcina emsebenzini, futhi yilokho nje—ubizo lwakho umsebenzi, hhayi ukubiza iziqinisekiso zokuphila! Uthando luyindaba isimiso. Thatha ukuma kwakho ngakuNkulunkulu, nakuhulumeni kaNkulunkulu njengoba kubonakala emfanekisweni womshado wendoda nomfazi. Ngaphandle kobudlova noma inzondo, khuluma ngokumelene nokubekezelelwa kongqingili! Futhi musa ukubekezelela noma ukwenza ubungqingili ngokwakho, funa uthole izinhlupho!

Inhlupho Yokuqala

Inhlupho yokuqala iyisijeziso esiqondiswe kulabo abanophawu lwesilo noma abakhulekela umfanekiso waso.

Eyokuqala yahamba, yathululela isitsha sayo emhlabeni; kwasekuvela isilonda esibi esibuhlungu phezu kwabantu esinophawu lwesilo, naphezu kwabakhuleka emfanekisweni waso. (IsAmbulo 16: 2)

Qaphela ukuthi isilonda (noma isilonda, noma ithumba) siwela phezu kwesigaba esithile sabantu. Ngamanye amazwi, kuyabandlulula. Lokho kusho ukuthi isifo asikwazi ukuba yinto ethinta umhlaba wonke ngaphandle kokucwasa; kuthinta abantu abathile kuphela.

Kuwubulungiswa obusankondlo ukuthi lapho umhlaba (oholwa ngu uSathane) iphusha imithetho emelene nokucwasa edinga ukubekezelelana kwawo wonke amaqembu abantu, uNkulunkulu uza nenhlupho yokuqala futhi uthi nakanjani uyobandlulula ngokusekelwe eqenjini elithile labantu. Umhlaba uthi ukubekezelela wonke umuntu ngaphandle kokubandlulula, ikakhulukazi amaqembu athile avikelwe njengamaqembu e-LGBT, kodwa uNkulunkulu uthi ngeke abekezelele, kodwa uyothulula ulaka lwaKhe phezu kwalelo qembu! Labo abanophawu lwesilo yilabo abenza ubungqingili, futhi labo abakhulekela umfanekiso waso yilabo abasekela futhi bavikele ubungqingili (ngamanye amazwi, labo abangenasimilo ngisho noma bengabobulili obuhlukile). Kumayelana nesono: umphefumulo owonayo uyakufa.^[11]

Ukukhethwa kwenhlupho yokuqala kakade kuqeda amathuba amaningana mayelana nokuthi kungaba yini. Isibonelo, angeke kube ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, ngoba ukuzamazama komhlaba kubulala wonke umuntu ofinyelela kukho ngaphandle kokubandlulula. Ngeke kube umthelela we-asteroid, i-meteor shower, noma impi yenuzi, ngoba konke lokho kuzothinta wonke amaqembu abantu ngokulinganayo. Kufanele kube yinto exhumene nophawu nomfanekiso wesilo. Kufanele kube yinto exhumene nobungqingili kanye nokuziphatha okuxekethile kocansi, kanye nokuqonda okusivumela ukuthi sixhumane namachashazi...

Ngabe ukhona ongakaze ezwe ngengculazi/HIV, nongazi imbangela yayo?

Ukutheleleka ngegciwane lesandulela ngculazi kubangelwa igciwane lokuzivikela komzimba womuntu. Ungathola i-HIV ngokuthinta igazi elinegciwane, isidoda, noma uketshezi lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane. Iningi labantu lithola leli gciwane ngokuya ocansini olungavikelekile nomuntu one-HIV. Enye indlela evamile yokuyithola iwukuhlanganyela izinaliti zezidakamizwa nomuntu one-HIV. Igciwane lingadlulela futhi lisuka kumama liye enganeni yakhe ngesikhathi ekhulelwe, ezalwa, noma encelisa ibele.^[12]

I-AIDS (noma i-HIV) yisifo esiwumphumela wendlela yokuphila. Iqiniso lokuthi abantu abaningi abathola igciwane balithola ngocansi komunye umuntu onalo likhombisa lokho igciwane lengculaza lijezisa ukuziphatha okubi kobulili, okungasho lutho. Kungukwahlulela noma inhlupho okwathi uyabandlulula ngokumelene neqembu labantu abaziphethe kabi. Kulula kanjalo! Imvelo kanye neZwi likaNkulunkulu kukhomba ngokuqondile ukuziphatha okubi okungaphakathi kwemithetho yokubekezelela nokucwasa izwe elicindezelayo.

Kodwa akugcini lapho. IBhayibheli futhi linikeza incazelo yezimpawu zalesi sifo, ezihambisana nezimpawu zengculaza eziphawuleka kakhulu.

Izimpawu ze-AIDS ezivamile emadodeni zihlanganisa:^[13]

⦁ ama-lymph glands avuvukele.
⦁ izilonda ezingavamile olimini; ukuqubuka kwesikhumba namaqhubu.
⦁ isicanucanu, ukuhlanza, nesifo sohudo.
⦁ ukukhwehlela nokuphelelwa umoya.
⦁ ukukhathala okungapheli.
⦁ umkhuhlane, ukugodola, nokujuluka ebusuku.
⦁ ukulahlekelwa isisindo ngokushesha.
⦁ ukubona okufiphele noma okuhlanekezelwe.

Esishayweni sokuqala, “izilonda ezinomsindo nezibuhlungu” ziyincazelo efanele yokuqubuka kwesikhumba namaqhuqhuva ahambisana nokutheleleka nge-AIDS/HIV. Nokho, iBhayibheli linemininingwane eyengeziwe yesifo esihlungwini sesihlanu. Inhlupho yesihlanu nayo ihlotshaniswa ngokuqondile nesihlalo (noma igunya) lesilo, okuwumgunyathi waso womshado onjengobungqingili nokuziphatha okuxekethile kobulili.

Ingelosi yesihlanu yathululela isitsha sayo esihlalweni sesilo; nombuso wakhe waba mnyama; baluma ulimi lwabo ngenxa yobuhlungu. Futhi bahlambalaza uNkulunkulu wezulu ngenxa yobuhlungu babo nezilonda zabo, njalo kabaphendukanga ezenzweni zabo. ( IsAmbulo 16:10-11 )

“Izilonda ezingavamile olimini” zichazwa njengezibuhlungu, kanye nokukhulunywa ngokuphindaphindiwe kwezilonda okukhulunywe ngazo esifeni sokuqala.

Kubukeka kucace bha ukuthi lezi zinhlupho ezimbili zikhuluma nge-AIDS/HIV, okuyi- inhlupho ebandlululayo lokho kuthinta kuphela amaqembu abantu aziphatha kabi ngokobulili—ngamanye amazwi, labo abenza ubungqingili ngokwabo, noma abakhululeke kakhulu ebulilini kangangokuthi basekela isisho sobulwane esithi “uma kumnandi, kwenze” futhi ngaleyo ndlela basekele inhlangano yobungqingili (kanye negunya likaSathane) ngokungaqondile. Isono sinikeza uSathane amandla! Uhlezi esihlalweni sesono!

Khumbula, sikhuluma ngesono njengesifo sangempela esinemiphumela yaphakade—hhayi ukulahlekelwa impilo kule mpilo ngenxa yengculaza, okubangelwa ukukhetha okubi kwesikhathi esedlule. Uma ungumuntu osuvele une-HIV kodwa usuphendukile walungisa impilo yakho ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, mbonga uNkulunkulu ngokuthi uthole insindiso yempilo ezayo! Vele “Hamba,” ngamandla ezwi likaJesu, “ungabe usona.”^[14] Kulabo “abaziqhenyayo” ngezono zabo, maka kahle...

U-Mercy Akasekho

Into eyodwa manje engase ithathwe esibethweni sokuqala ukuthi izophakama ngokuqhubekayo, futhi ingenzeki ngokuzumayo. Amagciwane angasakazeka ngokushesha, kodwa sonke isibalo sabantu ngeke sife ngokuphazima kweso ngenxa yengculazi. Lokho kubuza umbuzo: kusho ukuthini ukuthi ukubala kwethu sehle ngezinhlupho kwaphela ekupheleni kosuku oluqondile luka-October 24, 2015, okukhomba ukuqala kwezinhlupho (inhlupho yokuqala) ngo-October 25? Zazingekho izixuku zabantu ezazifa—njengoba abagxeki bethu babemagange kakhulu “ukusazisa”. Pho kungani uNkulunkulu anikeza usuku oluqondile lokuqala kwezinhlupho?

UPapa uFrancis akazange aphuthelwe yithuba lokuphikisa isexwayiso sethu ngezifo. Ngalolo suku, wathi “Namuhla Yisikhathi Somusa!”^[15] Lapho izinhlupho ziqala, uSathane wakuphikisa ngokuphelele. Uzoqhubeka nokuphikisa ngaso sonke isikhathi sezinhlupho, futhi.

Iqiniso liwukuthi, uNkulunkulu wayengathulula izahlulelo Zakhe kulomhlaba kusukela kudala eminyakeni emithathu nengxenye edlule, ukube kwakungengenxa yalabo abasathandaza, abasabambene. Isihe salinda isikhathi eside ukuze izoni ziphenduke ebubini bazo, kodwa manje ukulungiswa sekuphelile futhi nokuhlolwa kokugcina sekuqalile.

UNkulunkulu wanikeza isibonakaliso sokunaka njengoba isikhathi sezinhlupho sisondela. Isiphepho uPatricia “sasiphakathi kwezivunguvungu zasezindaweni ezishisayo ezikhula ngokushesha kunazo zonke ezake zaba khona noma kuphi emhlabeni kusukela kwasungulwa isayensi yesimo sezulu yanamuhla.”^[16] Njengoba sasimenyezelwa njengesiphepho esinamandla kunazo zonke emlandweni womhlaba, kwakuyisexwayiso esifanelekayo sezinhlupho ezazisondela, ingasaphathwa eyokuthi sase sizofika ngobusuku bangaphambi kwezinhlupho, ngokusobala sashaya ungqimphothwe eGuadalajara, “engenye yezindawo ezingongqingili eLatin America.”^[17] Kwakungesona isenzo esisheshayo sikaNkulunkulu ngokumelene nesizwe esisheshayo ukwamukela imithetho yokushada kobulili obufanayo.

Lesi siphepho sisongela isibalo sabashonile esibi njengoba kulindeleke ukuthi imimoya yaso engu-200 mph (320 km/h) ihlasele eMexico ngesaziso esifushane, futhi amashumi ezinkulungwane akhishwe kulindelwe imbubhiso esabalele. Kwathi lapho uSuku Lokuhlawulela ISabatha Eliphezulu lifika ngoLwesihlanu kusihlwa, isishingishane savele savele sangena imvula nje. “UPatricia waba buthakathaka ngokushesha ngisho nangaphezu kokuba aqina,” futhi lapho izinhlupho ziqala ngo-October 25, okwasala yisiphepho uPatricia kwakumane nje “kuyinsali ephansi.” Lingasho ukuthini? Noma yisiphi isazi sezibalo kufanele sikutshele ukuthi kuyinto engenakwenzeka kakhulu ukuthi isiphepho esinamandla kunazo zonke ezikhathini zonke singaqondana nosuku olulodwa ebesilokhu sibala iminyaka eminingana njengesiqalo sezinhlupho.

Kwakungeyona isimangaliso ukuthi isiphepho sadlula ngaphandle kwenani elikhulu labantu abashonile noma inani lomonakalo. EBhayibhelini, imimoya imelela ukulwa nempi, lokho uNkulunkulu akuvimbela ukuba kuqedwe ngosuku lokuqala lwezinhlupho. Kwaprofethwa njalo njalo.

Emva kwalokho ngabona izingelosi ezine zimi emagumbini omane omhlaba. nibambe imimoya emine yomhlaba, ukuze kungavunguzi moya emhlabeni, naphezu kolwandle, naphezu kwanoma yimuphi umuthi. Ngase ngibona enye ingelosi yenyuka empumalanga, inophawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo, yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ezingelosini ezine ezazinikelwe ukuba zilimaze umhlaba nolwandle: Ningawoni umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi, size sibeke uphawu izinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu emabunzini azo. (Isambulo 7: 1-3)

Umoya onamandla kaPatricia wasongela ukudabula izwe libe yizicucu, kodwa akuzange kwenzeke! Mncane kakhulu umonakalo obikiwe uma kuqhathaniswa nobekulindelekile. I imimoya yembubhiso yabanjwa, futhi iBhayibheli liyasitshela ukuthi kungani evesini elingenhla. Ngaphambi kokuba umhlaba ulimale, ukubekwa uphawu kufanele kwenziwe.

Lokho kuyakwenza hhayi kusho ukuthi kukhona umusa ngesikhathi sezinhlupho, nokho. Kucabange njengesivivinyo sokugcina esikoleni. Isikhathi sezinhlupho yisikhathi sokuhlolwa kwakho kokugcina. Ukulungiselela kwakho ukuhlolwa kumele ngabe kwenziwe kusenesikhathi. Isikhathi somusa kwakuyisikhathi sokulungiselela, lapho wawungase uguqule ukucabanga kwakho ngaphambi kokuhlolwa. Sesiphelile leso sikhathi, kusukela mhla zingama-25 kuMfumfu wezi-2015 umhlaba uhlezi endlini yezivivinyo, nomnyango usuvaliwe. Kuleli qophelo, noma ngabe umhloli engakakuphathi ukuhlolwa kwakho ngakunye, awukwazi ukushintsha. Awusakwazi ukuphuma ngaphandle kwegumbi lokuhlolwa uye ezinsizeni zakho zokufunda.

Awusekho umusa. Asikho isivunguvungu emlandweni wokurekhoda isimo sezulu esike saqina ngokushesha njengalesi. Kwakucishe kungakholeki—kodwa ngemva kokwephula irekhodi lesikhathi sonke nokudonsela ukunaka kwezwe, isiphepho sanikeza isimanga esikhulu nakakhulu: “UPatricia waba buthakathaka ngokushesha ngisho nangaphezu kokuba kuqina.” Labo ababethandazela iMexico babecabanga ukuthi imithandazo yabo yaphendulwa, kodwa abaqondi ukuthi isivunguvungu sisho ukuthini. Imvula kaPatricia ayizange ibambezeleke.

Njengemvula eyafika ngemva kokuba uNowa elindile emkhunjini izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, uPatricia wayegcwele imvula njengophawu lokuthi into yangempela—izinhlupho—yayiyoqala ngemva kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa kusukela ngo-October 18-24. Kwakungelona uphawu lokujabula, noma uphawu lomusa—futhi ngokuqinisekile kwakungelona uphawu lwemvula yamuva. Imvula yamuva isiphelile, nomnyango womkhumbi uvaliwe. Manje sisesikhathini esifana nemvula kazamcolo, engeyona imvula efanekisela umusa noma isihe, kodwa isikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu kumelwe akhiphe isahlulelo. Lokho kufakazelwa izimvula zikaPatricia, njengoba “Imvula ibinamandla ngokwanele ukuba ibangele izikhukhula nokubhidlika kodaka, okuhlanganisa neslide esifundeni saseMichoacán esithathe ingxenye yomgwaqo ephuma ngaso, kwalimala abantu ababili imoto yabo ewele esilayidini.” Lapho uPatricia enetha imvula, uNkulunkulu weZulu wakhala izinyembezi ngenxa yalabo abangakaphenduki.

Kokunye ukulandisa, sifunda imininingwane eyengeziwe ethakazelisa kakhulu uma kubhekwa umfanekiso wesiprofetho seBhayibheli:

“Umoya waqala ngehora lesihlanu ntambama," wathi. “Isivinini somoya saqala ukwanda, futhi wawuqala ukuzwa umonakalo obangelwe yiwo. Izihlahla zaqala ukuwa ngamunye ngamunye. Kwaqhubeka kanjalo kwaze kwashaya u-10 ebusuku—imimoya yayinamandla. Sahlala ekhoneni elincane lendlu—sonke sahlala ngendlela efanayo ezindlini zethu—ungene."^[18]

Okokuqala nje, qaphela ukuthi laqala ngaphambi nje kweSabatha eliqala ekushoneni kwelanga, kanjalo nje isivunguvungu esabhekana naso eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Esiphephweni sethu, isihlahla esikhulu sasishulwa ngokomfanekiso, kodwa ngoPatricia izihlahla eziningi “zaqala ukuwa ngamunye ngamunye.” Izihlahla zimelela abantu ngabanye,^[19] nesihlahla esisishuliwe asisesona isihlahla esiphilayo. Lahluliwe futhi latholakala lintula, futhi lisishulwe ngaphandle kwesihe! Eqinisweni, omunye umbiko wabonisa ukuthi ukufa kwabantu ababili kuphela kukaPatricia kwakubangelwa izihlahla eziwayo.^[20] Ngokusobala, isigijimi siwukuthi izinhlupho ziqala ngenqubo yokwahlulela komuntu ngamunye, “ngabanye.”

Ngakho, ngokuphambene nombono wokuthi uNkulunkulu unesihe, imvula enkulu futhi yasiphula izihlahla kuPatricia Kuqinisekisiwe ukuthi izinhlupho zaqala, kodwa kusitshela okuthile ngesikhathi sezinhlupho esasingakaziqondi.

Cabanga ngakho. Uma ukuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray baseBetelgeuse supernova babethungele imbulunga ngomlilo ngosuku lokuqala lwezinhlupho, uMoya oNgcwele wawungasinikeza kanjani isivivinyo sokugcina? Ngokukhethekile, uNkulunkulu ubeyokwazi kanjani ukuthi ubani okufanele afe futhi ubani okufanele aphile, uma ukuhlolwa kokugcina bekungakaqedwa? Okokuqala, umfundi kufanele abhale izivivinyo. Ngemuva kwalokho, izivivinyo kufanele zifakwe esigabeni futhi zinikezwe i-PASS noma imaki le-FAIL. Khona-ke imiphumela ingafika ekugcineni.

Ngokusuka kulokho kuqonda kukodwa, singathola ukuthi ukuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray ngeke kwenzeke kuze kube okungenani inhlupho yesikhombisa, noma ekufikeni kwangempela kukaJesu. I-Supernovae yomibili iyalimaza futhi iyadala, futhi ngamabanga aphakathi kwezinkanyezi ahilelekile kunzima ngisho nokusho ukuthi i-supernova izothinta umhlaba ngaphambi kwenkulungwane yeminyaka noma ngemva kwenkulungwane yeminyaka. Umbono wethu omuhle kakhulu kuleli qophelo uwukuthi ukuqhuma kokuqala kwe-gamma-ray kungenzeka ngaphambi kwenkulungwane yeminyaka, kuyilapho eminye imiphumela ehamba kancane ye-supernova ingafinyelela emhlabeni ngemva kwenkulungwane yeminyaka ukuze kubhujiswe ababi kokugcina. Kunzima ukusho ngokuqinisekile okwamanje, kodwa akufanele sivumele imininingwane enjalo isidikibalise ekubeni nokholo ekuholeni kukaNkulunkulu. Uzokwenza ziqondise singene kulo lonke iqiniso, njengoba ethembisile.^[21]

Ukude, sivame ukubona iziprofetho njenge-monolithic. Sicabanga ukuthi izenzakalo zonke zenzeka ngesikhathi esisodwa, kuphela ukubona ukuthi zihlukaniswa yisikhathi. Sicabanga ukuthi izehlakalo ziyazuma, lapho zenzeka kancane kancane. Sicabanga ukuthi imicimbi ehlanganisiwe yonke inezakhiwo ezifanayo.

Indaba ephusile yinhlupho yokuqala uqobo (embozwe ekuqaleni). Sesibonile kakade ukuthi isifo sokuqala sihambisana nezimpawu ze-AIDS/HIV, ezazizosakazeka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi hhayi ngokushesha ngosuku lokuqala. Kunengqondo futhi ukuthi njengoba izinhlupho ziqoqana, njengoba kuboniswa ukukhulunywa kwezilonda zenhlupho yokuqala embhalweni wenhlupho yesihlanu, khona-ke kufanele zibe zimbi kakhulu futhi zibe zimbi kakhulu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, okusho ukuthi azikwazi ukuqala ngamandla aphelele ngosuku lokuqala lwenhlupho yokuqala.

Noma kunjalo, iBhayibheli linikeza obunye ubufakazi bokuthi inhlupho yokuqala ihlobene nokusiphula imithi, ngayinye ngayinye:

Futhi, bheka, kwafika amadoda ayisithupha kusukela endleleni yesango eliphezulu, elingasenyakatho, futhi yilowo nalowo unezikhali zokuhlaba esandleni sakhe; kwakukhona indoda ethile phakathi kwabo yembethe ilineni, inophondo lukayinki wombhali ohlangothini lwayo. bangena, bema ngase-altare lethusi. Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yakhuphuka isuka ekherubini eyayiphezu kwayo, yaya embundwini wendlu. Wabiza indoda eyembethe ilineni, enophondo lukayinki wombhali ethangeni layo; Futhi uJehova wathi kuye: Dabula phakathi komuzi, phakathi kweJerusalema, ubeke uphawu emabunzini abantu ababubulayo nabakhalayo ngazo zonke izinengiso ezenziwa phakathi kwalo. Wathi kwabanye ezindlebeni zami: Dabulani phakathi kwakhe phakathi komuzi, nibulale; Iso lenu malingahawukeli, ningabi nabubele;: kodwa ningasondeli kumuntu okukuye uphawu; niqale endlini yami engcwele. Baqala-ke emadodeni amadala aphambi kwendlu. Wathi kubo: "Ngcolisani indlu, nigcwalise amagceke ngababuleweyo; phumani." Basebephuma, babulala emzini. ( Hezekeli 9:2-7 )

Sekuyisikhathi eside siqonda ukuthi izingelosi eziyisithupha ezinezikhali zokuhlaba zikaHezekeli 9 zihambisana neziteshi eziyisithupha ezizungeze iwashi likaNkulunkulu. Kwakuyisixazululo leso imfihlakalo kaHezekeli, echaza indlela izingelosi eziyisithupha zikaHezekeli ezifanelana ngayo nezingelosi eziyisikhombisa zesAmbulo. Njengoba iwashi lenza isiyingi esigcwele, ingelosi yokuqala kaHezekeli (ehambisana nenkanyezi uSayiph) nayo iyingelosi yokugcina. Unezingxenye ezimbili okufanele azenze, kanye ekuqaleni komjikelezo, kanye kanye ekugcineni.

Ngaphambili, sasebenzisa lokho kuqonda kuMjikelezo Wecilongo wewashi kanye nezinsuku zamacilongo ayisikhombisa esAmbulo. Nokho, njengoba izahlulelo ezibhubhisayo zamacilongo zabuyiselwa emuva ngesihe ngoJesu enxusa abantu baKhe ngegazi laKhe eliyigugu, lokho kusho ukuthi isiprofetho sikaHezekeli 9 asizange sibe nokugcwaliseka kwaso okuphelele emjikelezweni wecilongo. Yebo, ukuphawulwa komuntu onophondo lukayinki lomlobi kwaqala, kodwa ukuhlatshwa akuzange kuqale ngoba kwanikezwa umyalo wokuba kugodlwe. UMusa wasala ethule, kwaze kwaphela umjikelezo wecilongo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, umbhalo ngokwawo uqinisekisa ukuthi ukuhlatshwa kufanele kuhambisane nesikhathi esingenasihe, ngokusebenzisa ulimi olungenasihe ngokuphelele. Kumelwe kufane nesikhathi sezinhlupho lapho ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luthululwa ngaphandle kwengxubevange. Izingelosi ezinezikhali zokubulala ziyalwa ukuthi “ilihlo lenu lingahawukeli, futhi ningabi nabubele.” Lokho kusho ukuthi ngeke babe nesihe! Bayalwa ukuba “babulale,” kungakhathaliseki ubudala noma ubulili. Lokho akunasihawu, futhi kanjalo kuhambisana kahle nesikhathi sezinhlupho.

Okuwukuphela komehluko izingelosi zokubulala ezivunyelwe ukuba ziwenze uphakathi kwalabo ababekwa uphawu (abaphawulwa) yindoda enophondo lukayinki lomlobi, nalabo ababengafakwanga. Uma siqhathanisa ukubulawa kukaHezekeli 9 nezinhlupho zesAmbulo, sibona umehluko phakathi kophawu lukaNkulunkulu nophawu lwesilo. Ingelosi yokuqala ibeka uphawu emabunzini ukuze ibeke uphawu kubantu bakaNkulunkulu, kuyilapho inhlupho yokuqala ithululelwa kulabo abanophawu lwesilo noma umfanekiso waso.

Ukuhamba kancane kancane kwenhlupho yokuqala—ngokuphathelene nokusabalala kwe-HIV/AIDS—kuhambisana nomsebenzi wengelosi enophondo lukayinki lomlobi. Zombili zimelela inqubo yokumaka. Kumelwe sikhumbule ukuthi izimpawu zeqiniso azibonakali, futhi leso siprofetho sinencazelo engokomfanekiso. Nakuba isifo esibangelwa i-HIV/AIDS siwuphawu lwangempela olubonakalayo, lufanekisela okuthile okujulile. Lifanekisela ukungcoliswa isono, njengoba kwakunjalo ngochoko ngezikhathi zeBhayibheli. Uphawu lweqiniso luyichila lesono phezu komlingiswa, olungabonakali ngaso sonke isikhathi. UNkulunkulu ubona ngengaphandle enhliziyweni, futhi lokho kusebenza ngezindlela zombili. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, angabona ngengaphandle elimahhadlahhadla enhliziyweni emsulwa egezwe egazini likaJesu, kanti ngakolunye uhlangothi, angabona ngengaphandle eligezwe mhlophe enhliziyweni engaphendukiyo futhi ezanele ngaphakathi.

Inhliziyo iyakhohlisa ngaphezu kwakho konke, futhi imbi; ngubani ongayazi na? ( Jeremiya 17:9 )

Ngakho inqubo yokumaka isishayo sokuqala ihlanganisa uhlobo oluthile lokungabonakali. Uma sibuyela esifanekisweni sokuhlolwa kokugcina, nakuba umphumela womfundi ngamunye uzosekelwe ekulungiseleleni osekuphelile kakade, imiphumela ayinakwaziwa kuze kube yilapho isivivinyo senziwe ngempela futhi senziwe amamaki. Umuntu ngamunye kufanele abhekane novivinyo lwakhe.

Umbuzo ongokwemvelo uthi, iluphi uvivinyo olwaqala ngo-October 25, 2015, futhi lwenzelwe obani? Impendulo icacile: wonke umlandeli wokunyakaza kwethu uyahlolwa, ngoba ukuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray nanoma iyiphi enye inhlekelele ayenzekanga ngalolo suku. Lelo kwakuyiSabatha elikhulu elase sixwayisa ngalo futhi sibala iminyaka, futhi wonke umuntu owayelazi manje usebhekene nokuhlolwa kwakhe. Usakholwa ukuthi lenkonzo iholwa nguNkulunkulu? Noma ingabe ama-anti-time-setter ayelungile ngaso sonke isikhathi? Ingabe ukholo lwakho luncike ekuboneni, noma ingabe uthanda uJesu e-Orion ngenxa yalokho ayikho? Ekugcineni uvivinyo luwuvivinyo lothando.

Ngonyaka odlule, sibe nomsebenzi oneshwa wokukwazisa ukuthi umuntu oyedwa ushiye iqembu lethu. Asizange siyidalule yonke indaba ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa omunye umniningwane usuyasebenza manje. Kwakukhona omunye umuntu owayezohamba naye ngesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule, kodwa ngokusobala waphenduka wanikezwa umusa ngokufanele. Kodwa-ke, ngo-Okthoba 26, ngemva konyaka kuze kube yilolu suku, wavuma ukuthi wayelahlekelwe ukholo kulo mlayezo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela walishiya iqembu lethu. Wahamba ngakusasa, ngo-Okthoba 27, ngosuku lokuzalwa kukaJesu.

Ungacabanga ukuthi sonke sesidlule kokuningi ndawonye njengeqembu, futhi sesikhule sithandana. Singaphezu kweqembu; siwumndeni, futhi kubuhlungu kakhulu ukushonelwa othandekayo. Uma sithi akusakwazi ukushintsha izinhlangothi, uvele washintsha izinhlangothi. Kanjalo wakhaphela umlayezo, ngisho noJesu/Alnitak uqobo Lwakhe ophakathi kwawo. Iqiniso liwukuthi akazange ashintshe. Ukuphenduka kwakhe ngonyaka odlule kwaphendulwa ngomusa, kodwa ekugcineni wabonisa ukuthi akakanqobi. Wenza ukholo lwakhe lwancika ekuboneni (okungelona nhlobo ukholo) futhi wazibeka ngaphezu kweqembu ngokuzenzela isinqumo.

Ekugcineni, uvivinyo olukhulu luwuvivinyo lothando, futhi lapha enhluphweni yokuqala singabona ukuthi uvivinyo lwaqala endlini yakhe engcwele futhi lwaluphathelene nothando (ukholo) kuJesu nokuhola kwakhe naphezu kwalokho okubonwayo noma okungabonakali. Umuntu ofundisa umthetho wenza imisebenzi emihle, kodwa akanalo uthando. UNkulunkulu wabonisa ukuthi uthando lungaphezu kwencwadi yomthetho ngokunikela ngeNdodana yakhe ukuba ifele izephula-mthetho! Sibe nobufakazi obuningi—izimpawu eziningi zothando lukaNkulunkulu—onyakeni odlule ukuze siqinisekise lo mlayezo! Ukukwenqaba ngoba “okushilo akwenzekanga ngempela” kukhombisa ubumthetho obumsulwa futhi alukho uthando.

Manje iqembu eParaguay liqukethe ncamashi Isikhombisa abantu.^[22]

Ngokuphambene, umfowethu onokholo oye wahamba ngonyaka odlule uye wahlala ethembekile esigijimini, futhi njengamanje ubalwa phakathi kwabalandeli bethu abanokuma okuhle. Isikhumbuza indaba yomphathizitsha nombhaki ngosuku lokuzalwa kukaFaro olungileyo. Abayizi-144,000 XNUMX bayoba izikhulu eziphakeme kakhulu embusweni kaNkulunkulu njengomphathizitsha, kodwa abanye banjengompheki wezinkwa owalengiswa esihlahleni nezinyoni zadla inyama yakhe.^[23]

Cha, awusekho umusa. Uma ufeyila lesi sivivinyo sokugcina, alisekho igazi elizokusibekela endaweni engcwele engenhla. Uzophumelela esivivinyweni, noma ususwe njengezihlahla ngaphansi kwesiphepho uPatricia. Ingabe ususitholile isivivinyo sokungenela inkonzo yebutho likaNkulunkulu? Usuyidlulisile? Ingabe ingelosi enophondo lukayinki lomlobi isilubekile uphawu lukaNkulunkulu kuwe?

Ukuduma Okuduma Kakhulu

Izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina ziza ngezigaba eziyisikhombisa zokuwohloka. Isigaba sokuqala saqala endlini kaNkulunkulu, futhi sizoqhubeka ize ingelosi emakayo iqede ukumaka lonke ihlelo lamaSeventh-day Adventist. Bese—lapho wonke umuntu kulelo klasi ihloliwe futhi izinga labo lilotshiwe—ukubhujiswa walelo klasi kungaqala esigabeni esilandelayo, kuyilapho ukumaka kuqhubekele ekilasini elilandelayo. Le nqubo iyaphindwa kuze kube yilapho umhlaba wonke usuhloliwe futhi usuphawulwe, futhi ukubhujiswa sekuqede bonke ngaphandle kwabangu-144,000 XNUMX abasasele ukuze babone ukuza kukaJesu.

Ithebula elilandelayo linikeza ukubuka kokuqala kokuthi kanjani izwi likaNkulunkulu izokwehla isuka eParaguay iye emhlabeni wonke. Okulandelayo emgqeni yilona lonke ihlelo lamaSeventh-day Adventist. Uke wazibuza ukuthi uBen Carson uvele wavelela kanjani ngokuzumayo emncintiswaneni kamongameli wase-US?^[24] UNkulunkulu ubeka u-Ben Carson endaweni yokukhanya ukuze aqwashise ngeSeventh-day Adventism emqondweni womphakathi, ngesikhathi esifanele sokuhlola amaProthestani ngenhlupho yesibili. Elinye lamaqiniso aziwayo ngamaSeventh-day Adventist ukuthi aphila cishe iminyaka eyi-10 ngokwesilinganiso ngenxa yezimfundiso zawo ngezempilo,^[25] okuphakathi nendawo okuwukudla kwemifino. Impela leyo mfundiso iza emhlabeni jikelele manje, njengoba manje sekuqinisekiswe yiWorld Health Organisation (WHO) ukuthi ukudla inyama kuhlobene nomdlavuza.^[26] Kusengathi umhlaba usuvele ulungiselelwe ukuhlolwa okuzobavivinya maqondana ne-Adventism.

Ithebula elingenhla liwukubukeka kokuqala. Isiprofetho sinezici eziningi zokuchazwa nokujula kwencazelo. Asisho lutho ngezilo ezine (ezihambelana nezinkanyezi ezine zangaphandle ze-Orion, kanjalo nezinhlupho zokuqala, zesithathu, zesine, nezesithupha nesesikhombisa) noma nganoma yisiphi isibalo sezinye izici zezinhlupho. Nokho ngisho nakulokhu kubukeka kokuqala kuyacaca ukuthi, njengamakhathakhatha amakhulu e-Iguazu Falls, isahlulelo esiphezulu sikaNkulunkulu sizokwehlela emhlabeni wonke, kungashiyi sigaba singakathintwa.

Ngezwa kungathi yizwi lesixuku esikhulu. nanjengezwi lamanzi amaningi, nanjengezwi lokuduma okukhulu; bathi: Haleluya, ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke iyabusa. ( IsAmbulo 19:6 )

Futhi kanjalo ivangeli liya emhlabeni wonke, hhayi ukuguqula manje, kodwa ukusola!

Futhi ngenxa yokuthi ububi buyovama, uthando lwabaningi luyophola. Kodwa okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni nguyena oyakusindiswa. Futhi leli vangeli lombuso liyoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke kube ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke; khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika. (UMathewu 24: 12-14)

Ubufakazi ezizweni zonke akusekho ukuguqulwa. Abantu abaningi abanesibindi bamele uKristu futhi banikeze ubufakazi babo ngokubulawelwa ukholo, yi-ISIS isibonelo, ikakhulukazi ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula-futhi kwenzeka kaningi kunalokho okubikwa ngakho. Abantu bayoqhubeka befela ukholo lwabo phakathi nezinhlupho, kodwa ukufa kwabo ngeke kube ukufa komfel’ ukholo—okungenani hhayi ngomqondo ovamile waleli gama, ngoba igazi labo ngeke liguqule omunye umphefumulo. Kunalokho, igazi labo liyoba elobufakazi, njengoba ivangeli liya emhlabeni wonke.

Ukubuka Kuqala Kwenhlupho Yesibili

Uma isishayo sokuqala silingana nendoda onophondo lukayinki lomlobi, inhlupho yesibili kumelwe ifane neyomunye wamadoda aphethe izikhali zokuhlaba amlandelayo. Lokho kufakazelwa esihlungwini sesibili lapho kukhulunywa khona okokuqala ngokufa kwabantu abaningi kulezi zinhlupho:

Eyesibili yathululela isitsha sayo olwandle; kwaba njengegazi lomuntu ofileyo, futhi yonke imiphefumulo ephilayo yafa elwandle. (IsAmbulo 16: 3)

Kulapho-ke kuyobonakala khona ukuthi isihe saphela ngempela futhi ukholo luyothathelwa indawo ukubona, okungenani eqenjini elithile lamaKristu ziye zaba indlu kaNkulunkulu. Umjikelezo wenhlupho wewashi le-Orion ubeka usuku lwenhlupho yesibili kuZibandlela 2-5, 2015. Ububanzi bezinsuku ezine bunikezwa imigqa yezihlalo zobukhosi wewashi, okuyinkomba yokuthi UNkulunkulu uqobo unikeza umyalo wokudedela amandla abhubhisayo afanekiselwa izingelosi ezinezikhali zokuceka, njengoba kusho kuHezekeli 9 .

UNkulunkulu usinika ulwazi olwengeziwe ukukhomba lokho inhlupho yesibili ekhuluma ngakho, okuzoqinisekisa ngokusobala ukuvalwa kwangaphambili kwesihe esintwini. Kuyisibusiso esikhethekile uNkulunkulu asithembisa labo abanokholo oluhlala njalo.

Kusukela esikhathini sokususwa komnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke, nokumiswa kwesinengiso esichithayo, kuyakuba yizinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalolunye. Ubusisiwe olindayo, aze afike ezinsukwini eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amathathu namashumi amathathu nanhlanu. ( Daniyeli 12:11-12 )

Sine incazelo esemthethweni wezinsuku eziyi-1335 ezibeka isiqalo ngoFebhuwari 27, 2012 futhi sigcine ngo-Okthoba 17, 2015, ukuphela komjikelezo weCilongo nokuvalwa kokuvivinywa (bheka ishadi). Siyakusekela lokho kuhumusha njengoba kumile, kodwa futhi siyaqaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakwazi ukunikeza “uHlelo B” ngezindlela ezimangalisayo. Ngokuvamile kubonakala sengathi uyakwazi ukukhipha isikhathi emoyeni omncane, kodwa lapho sifunda kabanzi, sithola ukuthi kulotshiwe eZwini Lakhe sonke isikhathi. Amacebo kaNkulunkulu ahlelwa ngobuchule ukuze ahlangabezane nazo zonke izidingo, ngaphandle kokuchitha ukuhambisana kweqiniso ezwini Lakhe!

Icala elibalulekile yizinsuku eziyi-1335. Ukubheka okusha amavesi kaDaniyeli acashunwe ngenhla kunikeza enye incazelo. Isibusiso sezinsuku eziyi-1335 simi kumongo wezinsuku eziyi-1290, kungekho enye indawo yokuqala eshiwo. Lokho kusho ukuthi izinsuku eziyi-1335 zingahunyushwa ngokuthi ziqala ngesikhathi esifanayo nezinsuku eziyi-1290, futhi lokho kuyosho ukuthi isibusiso esikhethekile sigcinelwe labo ukholo lwabo olunesineke, olulindile lufinyelela futhi luthinte (okusho ukubala okuhlanganisiwe kwesiHeberu) izinsuku eziyi-1335.

Emuva eshadini lethu, ungakubona lokho izinsuku ezingu-1290 yaqala ngo-April 6, 2012—okwakuyiPhasika elikhetheke kakhulu elalilandela izinsuku ezifanayo zesonto njengoba laliwunyaka wokufa kukaKristu esiphambanweni. Iqembu lethu elincane lahlangana ndawonye livela emazweni ahlukahlukene ukuze ligubhe iSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa ndawonye ngokokuqala ngqá ngobusuku balelo Phasika, liqaphela ukuthi izenzakalo zokugcina zomlando womhlaba zase ziqala. Okuhlangenwe nakho kwethu kubhalwe ku incwadi yethu, kodwa iphuzu njengamanje liwukuthi izinsuku ezingu-1290 zaba naleso siqalo esikhetheke kakhulu. Abantu abaningi emhlabeni wonke bakubona ukubaluleka kwalezo zinsuku, futhi ngempela umhlaba wawungase uphonswe ekubhujisweni kungazelelwe ukube ayengekho amaqembu afana nelethu anxusa uNkulunkulu ngobuqotho ekhumbula iNdodana yaKhe ngalolosuku.

Uma u-April 6, 2012 bekuwuSuku #1, kufanele silinde isikhathi esingakanani ngokholo ukuze sithole isibusiso sikaDaniyeli 12:12? Usuku #1335-usuku lokugcina lwe elinde-ifika ngoDisemba 1, 2015, futhi lokho kusho ukuhlaba kufika ncamashi ngosuku lokuqala lwenhlupho yesibili, kuqhubeke Disemba 2, 2015.

Kungase kube nencazelo elula yenhlupho yesibili—yi Usuku Lwedemoni esibhale ngakho, ngaphandle kokubambezeleka eholidini elilandelayo elihlobene le-Islamic Arba'een.

I-Arba'een...umkhosi wenkolo yamaShia Muslim owenzeka izinsuku ezingamashumi amane emva koSuku luka-Ashura. Isikhumbuzo sokufela ukholo kukaHusayn ibn Ali, umzukulu kaMuhammad...^[27]

Iholide lase-Arba'een lihlobene ngqo noSuku lwe-Ashura, futhi lingena kulo nyaka ULwesithathu, Disemba 2, 2015,^[28] ngosuku lokuqala lwenhlupho yesibili! Ngakho uNkulunkulu ukhomba ukuqala kokuhlaba ngesibusiso esikhethekile esigcinelwe labo abagcina ukholo kuze kube yilolo suku. Kusukela ngo-December 2 kuqhubeke, ngeke kusadingeka ukholo ukubona ukuthi isihe sikaNkulunkulu sesiphelile ekugcineni.

Qaphela ukuthi kuyizinsuku ezingama-40 impela kamuva. Kusukela ekufikeni kwesiphepho uPatricia, lezi izinsuku ezingu-40 zemvula kaNowa, ngemva kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa emkhunjini.

Ngemva kokuqalwa kwenhlupho yesibili, kuzofika uMkhosi Wezibani wamaHeberu, noma iHanukkah. Lokho kusho ukunqoba kokholo kubantu bakaNkulunkulu, okuyoqinisekiswa ekugcineni ngokungenakungabaza. Leso yisibusiso esikuwo, kodwa futhi lisho isiqalekiso kulabo abasazokwenqaba ukukholwa naphezu kobufakazi obukhulu kangaka. UPapa uFrancis uhlanganise amabutho akhe ukuze aqoqe imiphefumulo yakhe enkulu kakhulu ezoqala ngosuku lokuvulwa kweHanukkah.

Ngo-December 8, 2015, kuzovulwa umnyango “Ongcwele” Wesonto Lika-St. USathane uzimisele ukwamukela ngezandla ezimhlophe yonke imiphefumulo empofu enquma ukuphenduka lapho ibona ukuthi ukuphela sekufikile. Lapho isihe sikaNkulunkulu siphela, amanga kaSathane ayabuya futhi: “Yebo, ingabe uNkulunkulu ushilo” umusa usuphelile?^[29] “Aniyikufa nokufa!”^[30]

Ingabe uyokwenza ukukhetha okufanele ngesikhathi sokuvivinywa, noma uzolinda kuze kube yilapho okuwukuphela kwendlela esele kuwukunikela ukuphila kwakho kulowo owayehlubukile, noma ulwe ungenathemba lokunqoba, ngoba kungcono ukubhubha kunokuphila njengezigqila? Isiphepho uPatricia saletha umonakalo omncane, kodwa saletha imvula eningi ukufanekisela lokhu izinyembezi zikaNkulunkulu ngoba akukho ukuphenduka manje kulokho Afanele akwenze kusukela esihlungwini sesibili kuqhubeke. Uke wazibona izinyembezi Zakhe, lapho elungiselela ukwenza isenzo Sakhe esiyinqaba^[31] lolaka?

Yisho kubo ukuthi: 'Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uNkulunkulu, Angithokozi ngokufa komubi; kodwa ukuthi omubi aphenduke endleleni yakhe aphile; buyani, buyani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi; ngoba lizafelani lina ndlu kaIsrayeli? (Hezekeli 33: 11)

Ngokudabukisayo, isikhathi sokulungiselela sesidlulile futhi ukuhlolwa kwakho kokugcina sekuphezu kwakho ngemuva komnyango ovaliwe.
