Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoLwesithathu, Juni 11, 2014, 8:47 pm ngesiJalimane ngo www.letztercountdown.org

Intuthuko ngaphakathi kwengxenye ehlubukile yebandla lama-Adventist ibonakala nasecilongo lokuqala nelesibili kulelo zinga lokuchazwa. UMfoweth’ uRobert wakwenza kwacaca kweyakhe izihloko zakamuva ukuthi indaba ehlukanisayo yokugcotshwa kwabesifazane ihlukanise kanjani ibandla futhi yaholela ekulahlekelweni kukaTed Wilson (okubonakala) amandla obukhosi. Umzalwane uJan uphuphe enye inkinga ebandleni lama-Adventist, engikhulume ngayo kweyami Juni 29, 2013 intshumayelo, futhi kwenzeka ngesikhathi esifanele. Kwakumayelana nokwanda kwengcindezi ye I-LGBT umphakathi—abantu abanezinye izimiso zobulili—okwakungelutho, ngisho nesonto lama-Adventist.

IBandla Lama-Adventist Licwila Esiphithiphithini

Makube kude nami ukubhala indaba yeseluleko seBhayibheli kubantu abaye benza ngokuvumelana nobungqingili nanoma yiziphi ezinye izinkolelo ezingezona ezobulili obuhlukile. Ukufunda lokho umphostoli uPawulu akusho kweyabaseRoma isahluko 1 kufanele kwanele kunoma ubani. Iphetha kanje:

abathi besazi ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu, ukuthi abenza okunjalo bafanele ukufa, abakwenzi lokho kuphela, kodwa bathokozela abakwenzayo. ( Roma 1:32 )

Ukube umphostoli omkhulu kwabeZizwe wayebhale lokhu namuhla, ngokuqinisekile wayeyobekwa icala lokusakaza “inkulumo enenzondo” futhi ephucwa inkululeko yakhe. Wayezobe echotshoziwe waba izingcezu ezigayweni zeNew World Order. Noma kunjalo, ngisathanda ukugcizelela ukuthi amazwi akhe angenhla ahlanganisa nesixazululo salaba bantu, esivame ukunganakwa... ukwahlulelwa kukaNkulunkulu, ukufa nokulahlekelwa ukuphila okuphakade, kuza kuphela kulabo “abenza izinto ezinjalo.” Kungakho ngithe entshumayelweni yami, “Ungakwenzi nje!”

Njengelungu elifunda kuphela lamaqembu amaningana ezingxoxo zama-Adventist Yahoo nabefundisi kanye nezithunywa zevangeli, ngikwazile ukulandela indlela imibono phakathi kwebandla lama-Adventist eye yathuthuka ngayo phakathi nezinyanga ezimbalwa ezedlule kusukela ekupheleni kukaJuni 2013. Bekumayelana nokwamukelwa kwabantu abathambekele ku-LGBT njengamalungu ebandla lethu ngokuma okugcwele kanye nelungelo lokubamba amahhovisi esonto nokugcotshwa. Ngabe kufanele ngikutshele lokho okwavela njengombono oqavile weningi labaholi beBandla lama-Adventist? Ingabe kufanele ngigcizelele ukuthi labo abasebenzisa iBhayibheli njengesisekelo semibono yabo bahlulelwa yibo bonke abanye njengabahlulelayo nabangenaluthando?

Isonto lama-Adventist lihlukene phakathi, futhi ingxenye enkulu yesonto “ijabulela abakwenzayo.” Ephusheni lakhe, uMfoweth’ uJan wabona umbhede womshado esitezi esiphezulu sendlu; indlu ifanekisela ibandla. Umbhede wawungenalutho, futhi amapulangwe amabili ayephuma kuwo. Umbhangqwana wawuhlukene futhi mhlawumbe “waguqula ukusetshenziswa kwemvelo kwaba okuphambene nemvelo” (KwabaseRoma 1:26). Okuwukuphela kwento eyayisele ebuhlotsheni bezindlela ezintathu phakathi kwendoda nomfazi noKristu obamiswa uNkulunkulu e-Edene futhi obuhambisana nomfanekiso waKhe, kwakuwumcamelo omhlophe obonakala ungenamsebenzi neshidi lombhede elibomvu, okumelela ukukhala okudabukisayo kokulunga negazi kukaKristu.

Kulesi sihloko I-Checkmate yeBandla lama-Adventist, sachaza ukuthi kuyosho ukuthini ngesonto ukwenza “ngokweBhayibheli” kulesi sihloko. Ukuphuthuma nomthelela walezi zindaba kwashukumisela u-Ted Wilson ukuba abize ingqungquthela ekhethekile eKapa, ​​eNingizimu Afrika. Izihambeli ezingu-350 ezivela kuzo zonke izingxenye zomhlaba zahlangana ndawonye ngoNdasa ukuze zithole ukuthi iSonto Lama-Adventist lingakugwema kanjani ukuphahlazeka umkhumbi emanzini ayingozi okuphakama kukapapa. Vele, u-Ted Wilson kwadingeka akhulume nomphathi wakhe onobusathane, owayesevele enzile ongqingili abangani bakhe ngoJulayi wonyaka odlule. Kweyakhe inkulumo yokuvula, wakwazi ukuhamba entanjeni phakathi kokudlala i-conservatism kanye nokucekela phansi ngokuzithandela izindinganiso zobuKristu bama-Adventist emphakathini wethu ngokukhetha kwakhe amagama ngobuhlakani kanye nomhlaba ogcwele imibono enganwetshwa nganoma iyiphi indlela ofuna...

Ukubize kokubili “okungaguquki nokungalungile ngokokuziphatha” ngeSonto Lama-Adventist ukuba lihlukanise amalungu omphakathi we-LGBT ukuze ajeziswe “ngenkathi lingabanaki labo abenza ubulili obuhlukile bobulili ngaphambi komshado noma ukuphinga.

“Sonke siyizoni” futhi njengoba sizoqhubeka siyizo—ngoba iningi lamalungu esonto lama-Adventist liyawaphika amandla kaNkulunkulu—kufanele futhi sigweme ukusola noma ubani owenza izono ezihlukile kunezethu. Yeka iqhinga elihle. Ngokungangabazeki maduze nje sizozwa abefundisi nomongameli abayizingqingili ezivuma izono zabo ebandleni lethu, beshumayela ivangeli lamalungelo abantu kanye nokulingana kweNguquko YaseFrance epulpiti. (Funda iSahluko 11 seSambulo kanye nesahluko seNguquko yaseFrance ku Impikiswano Enkulu...uma usengathola incwadi.)

Akumangazi ukuthi okuhambisanayo inkulumo yokuvala engqungqutheleni yobulili ka-Ella Simmons, iphini likamongameli weBandla lama-Adventist emhlabeni wonke, wahlangana nokushayelwa ihlombe kuka-Ted Wilson manje owayebonakala esusiwe esihlalweni, okwaze kwaba muva nje (ngokuzenzisa) enqabile ukuvuma ukukhethwa kukaSandra Roberts. Nakuba uSimmons egcizelele ukuthi “Inqobo nje uma sivikela, sifihla, [futhi] yebo, sithethelela ukuphinga, ukungathembeki, nezinye izono ezenqatshelwe uNkulunkulu ebandleni futhi ikakhulukazi ezindaweni eziphakeme, ngeke sikwazi ukufinyelela amalungu ngamazwi ethu eqiniso ukuze kuguqulwe izimpilo zawo—noma ngayiphi indlela,” umane alingisa lokho uTed Wilson asekushilo kakade phakathi kwemigqa ngaphandle kwesono kuqala phakathi kwakho: “Umyeke enze isono kuqala phakathi kwakho.” Akukona mayelana nokulahlwa izoni. Eqinisweni imayelana nokusinda kwezentengiselwano kweBandla lama-Adventist njenge ibhizinisi, lilawulwa kusuka ngaphandle ngohulumeni futhi iphathwe ngama-quota wabasebenzi emimo eyahlukene:

Izinsuku ezine abaholi bebandla abaphezulu nabamele izifunda baxoxisana ngempendulo yesonto ekuziphatheni kongqingili lapho kubhekwa uguquko lwamasiko omhlaba wonke olusekela kakhulu ubudlelwano bobulili obufanayo. Incwadi ethi “Ngomfanekiso KaNkulunkulu: UmBhalo. Ucansi. Umphakathi.” kukhulunywe ingqungquthela iqiniso lokuthi izindaba ze-LGBT ziyathinta izinqubo zokuqashwa kwesonto kanye ukusebenza wezinhlelo zayo zemfundo nokunakekelwa kwezempilo ngenani elikhulayo lezifunda zomhlaba.

Lona umshayeli wangempela ngemuva kwengxoxo yokwamukela noma ukungamukelwa kwamalungu noma abaholi abathandana nobulili obufanayo ebandleni. Imayelana nebhizinisi nokuhambisana nemithethonqubo yezabelo zabasebenzi, ngaphandle kwalokho bazolahlekelwa isikhundla sabo njengenkampani yesonto enamalungelo okukhululwa enteleni. Ngakho-ke kwakunengqondo ukuthi ngemva kwenyanga kuphela, ngo-April 24 walo nyaka, abadume ngokukhululeka I-Netherlands Union yaba eyokuqala ukunquma “ngokuphikisana neSonto Lama-Seventh-day Adventist” ukuthi amasonto kumelwe abe “izindawo eziphephile zabantu be-LGBTQ”, nokuthi abanjalo “bangasuswa ebulungwini.” Lesi sinqumo se-Netherland Union siphikisana ngokuphelele nesinqumo isitatimende esisemthethweni yethulwe emasontweni amabili nje ngaphambi koMhlangano Wasentwasahlobo Wenkomfa Jikelele:

“Akuhambisani nokuqonda kweSonto imfundiso engokomBhalo ukwamukela noma ukulondoloza amalungu abantu abenza izenzo zobulili ezingqubuzana nezimfundiso zeBhayibheli. Akwamukelekile futhi ukuba abefundisi bama-Adventist noma amasonto banikeze izinkonzo zomshado noma izinsiza zemibhangqwana yobulili obufanayo”

Njengokugcotshwa kwabesifazane, umdlalo ofanayo uyadlalwa futhi... Umuntu uyaqala, futhi ekugcineni iningi ligcine selihamba ngendlela efanayo. Kuvezwe ngokucophelela, ibandla lihlukene phakathi futhi alisakwazi ukufeza umsebenzi walo wokumemezela isigijimi sezingelosi zesithathu. Lezi zindaba cishe azihlangene neze nesixwayiso sokungalwamukeli uphawu lwesilo noma izinhlupho ezizayo. Bukani ukuthi ibandla selichezuke kangakanani ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu ngabo!

Izifundo zamakomiti okugcotshwa kwabesifazane ziphele ngeseshini yokugcina yezinsuku eziningi ye-TOSC ngoJuni 4, 2014. Ukubuyekezwa Kwama-Adventist umbiko uthi:

Ilungu elilodwa le-TOSC lazitshela iqembu ukuthi ngoLwesithathu, Juni 4, kwakuyiPhentekoste ekhalendeni lamaJuda. Uthe unethemba lokuthi isimangaliso sokuzwana singase siphethe inqubo yokufunda yeminyaka emibili njengoba amalungu ecelwa ukuba akhethe ikhambi alithandayo, noma “Indlela Eya Phambili,” odabeni isonto osekuyiminyaka engaphezu kuka-25 lilwa nalo.

Ukuphawula kwelungu lekomiti cishe kwakuyibika elibi, ngoba iPhentekoste laseBhayibhelini lawela ngempela ngosuku olulandelayo, ngoba ucezwana lokuqala lwenyanga enyangeni yokuqala eJerusalema lwalungabonakali kwaze kwaba ngu-April 1 kusihlwa ngenxa yokwehliswa kwenyanga. 8° umthetho—okungeyona amaKristu noma ama-Adventist noma amaJuda anamuhla angenawo umbono ngayo. Njengoba u-Ellen G. White eseshilo kakade, isonto (kanye nabo bonke abanye) alazi ngisho nengxenye yeqiniso mayelana namasiko amadala amaJuda:

We ungenzi ingxenye baqonde isu leNkosi ngokukhipha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ebugqilini baseGibhithe, futhi wabahola ehlane wabangenisa eKhanani. Njengoba siqoqa imisebe yobunkulunkulu ekhanya evangelini, sizoba nokuqonda okucacile ngomnotho wamaJuda, kanye nokwazisa okujulile kwawo. amaqiniso abalulekile. Ukuhlola kwethu iqiniso akukapheleli. Sesibuthene imisebe yokukhanya embalwa kuphela. Labo abangebona abafundi beZwi nsuku zonke ngeke ixazulule izinkinga zomnotho wamaJuda. Bayoba Angiqondi amaqiniso afundiswa yinkonzo yasethempelini. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uvinjwa ukuqonda kwezwe ngohlelo Lwakhe olukhulu. Ukuphila kwesikhathi esizayo kuyoveza incazelo yemithetho uKristu, embozwe yinsika yefu, ayinikeza abantu baKhe.— Incwadi 156, 1903, kk. 2, 3. (Ku-PT Magan, July 27, 1903.) {3MR 259.1}

Ivoti lokugcina lembula amaqiniso amabili: okokuqala, iBandla lama-SDA lisazulazula ehlane, futhi okwesibili, lihlukene phakathi neningi lamalungu elivuna ukugcotshwa kwabesifazane. Amavoti afakwe ngamalungu angama-94 e-TOSC:

Amashumi amane Amalungu e-TOSC akhonjwe njengokukhetha kwawo kokuqala isikhundla sokuthi “Inhlangano ngayinye enesibopho sokubiza abefundisi igunyazwe ukukhetha ukuthi ibe namadoda kuphela njengabefundisi abagcotshiwe; noma ukuba nayo kokubili amadoda nabesifazane njengabefundisi abamisiwe.”

Amalungu angamashumi amathathu nambili athande isiphakamiso esiqinisekisa “umkhuba wokugcoba/wokuthuma ufanelekile kuphela amadoda esikhundleni sikamfundisi/umfundisi esontweni lomhlaba wonke . . . .”

Inketho yesithathu kwaba ukukhetha kokuqala kwe Abahlanganyeli abayi-22. Yathi, “uKristu uwukuphela kwenhloko yebandla,” iphawula ukuthi kukhona “indlela yeBhayibheli yobuholi besilisa, ngaphansi kobunhloko bukaKristu, esikhundleni sesikhonzi esimisiwe.” Kodwa le nketho yabuye yanezela ngokuthi “Sincoma ukuthi ubuholi behlelo ezingeni elifanele bugunyazwe ukunquma, ngokusekelwe ezimisweni zeBhayibheli, ukuthi ukuzivumelanisa okunjalo [imvume yokugcoba abesilisa nabesifazane] kungase kulungele yini indawo noma isifunda sabo.”

Uma sibala amaqembu 1 kanye no-3 ndawonye, ​​amalungu awo angazange avote ngokusobala ngokumelene nokugcotshwa kwabesifazane, sithola ukuthi iningi livumelana nokugcotshwa kwabesifazane: 62 kuya ku-32 noma 66%. Manje sekusemthethweni... UTed Wilson ulahlekelwe yimpi yakhe eyinhlekisa ngokumelene nokugcotshwa kwabesifazane, futhi ngonyaka ozayo Iseshini Yenkomfa Jikelele eSan Antonio, eTexas, uzokwenza izinqumo ezinikeza uNkulunkulu lonke ilungelo lokuthulula ulaka Lwakhe ngezinhlupho phezu kwamalungu ahlubukile ebandla leSDA. Bayobe benqabile futhi bakushaya indiva konke uJesu abelokhu ebabonisa kona e-Orion iminyaka eyisithupha.

Umfundi ongalaleli angase abuze: “Kubhalwe kuphi e-Orion ukuthi uNkulunkulu akakwamukeli ukugcotshwa kwabesifazane noma abantu be-LGBTQ?” Kulotshiwe ekuqaleni kweyokuqala Umjikelezo Omkhulu we-Orion, eyaqala ngo-October 27, 4037 BC ngokudalwa kuka-Adamu, ngaphambi nje kokuba kuqale iSabatha lokudala. U-Adamu wadalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, owesilisa nowesifazane (owesilisa nowesifazane, uGenesise 1:27) enendima yakhe yobuholi bomsizi wakhe (uGenesise 2:18). Akazange adalwe njengomuntu othanda ubulili obufanayo, noma indlovukazi ehudulwayo, noma njengomama wesimanje cishe okhulisa ingane yedwa ngesandla esisodwa, kuyilapho umkakhe ehlezi eceleni kuka-Ted Wilson ukuze anqume isiphetho se-SDA Enterprise yamazwe amaningi.

Imibala Yangempela Yabaholi Be-SDA

Esikhundleni sobunye, kuba nokuhlukana. Esikhundleni sokwethembeka kuNkulunkulu, sithola abaholi abatshela uNkulunkulu lokho okuthiwa wonile. Lokhu kungikhumbuza ikhomikhi engiyibone muva nje ku-Facebook—ngisanda kuyilungisa kancane:

Ucabanga ukuthi kuyihaba kimina ukuqhathanisa abaholi be-SDA “nezikhulu” ezingamaKhatholika? Ucabanga ukuthi lokho bekungeke kuvunyelwe, noma bekuzocasula? Ngaphandle kweqiniso lokuthi ukuziphatha okuphelele kwabaholi be-SDA kuwukuhlambalaza uNkulunkulu futhi kuthukuthelisa ulaka Lwakhe, ngingubani mina ukuba ngahlulele laba bantu? (Noma yikuphi okufana nesitatimende sami one kaPapa uFrancis' nakho kumane kwaqondana nje.) Akekho omunye ngaphandle kuka-Ellen G. White ngokwakhe owabona ephusheni alinikwe uNkulunkulu ukuthi ngolunye usuku kuyofika eqophelweni lokuthi abaholi bethu bafane ncamashi "nabasebenzi" baseVatican futhi ngokusho kwe 18th inkolelo eyisisekelo, wonke ama-Adventist ekubhapathizweni kwawo kufanele ambone njengomprofethikazi...

Ngalobo busuku ngaphupha ngikhona e-Battle Creek elunguza engilazini eseceleni emnyango abone inkampane ikhuphuka ibheke endlini, ngababili. Babebukeka beqinile futhi bezimisele. Ngangibazi kahle futhi ngaphenduka ukuze ngivule umnyango wegumbi lokuhlala ukuze ngibemukele, kodwa ngacabanga ukuthi ngizophinde ngibheke. Isimo sashintshwa. Inkampani manje yethule ukubukeka kwe- Udwendwe lwamaKhatholika. Omunye wayephethe isiphambano esandleni sakhe, omunye umhlanga. Futhi njengoba besondela. ophethe umhlanga wazungeza indlu, ethi kathathu: “Le ndlu zivinjelwe. Izimpahla kumele zithathwe. Bakhulume ngokumelene nesimiso sethu esingcwele. Uvalo lwangibamba, ngagijima ngangena endlini, ngiphuma ngomnyango osenyakatho, ngazithola ngiphakathi kwenkampani, abanye engangibazi, kodwa Angizange ngilokothe ​​ngikhulume nezwi kubo ngenxa yokwesaba ukukhashelwa. Ngazama ukufuna indawo engangingakhala kuyo futhi ngithandaze ngaphandle kokubonana namehlo alangazelela ukwazi nomaphi lapho ngibheka khona. Ngangiphindaphinda njalo: “Ukube nje bengingakuqonda lokhu! Uma bengangitshela engikushilo noma engikwenzile!”

Ngakhala futhi ngathandaza kakhulu lapho ngibona izimpahla zethu zithathwa. Ngazama ukufunda uzwelo noma isihawu kimi ekubukeni kwalabo abangizungezile, futhi ngamaka ubuso babaningana engangicabanga ukuthi bazokhuluma nami futhi bangiduduze uma bengesabi ukuthi bazobonwa ngabanye. Ngenza umzamo owodwa wokuphunyuka esixukwini, kodwa ngibona ukuthi ngibhekiwe, Ngazifihla izinhloso zami. Ngaqala ukukhala ngokuzwakalayo, ngathi: “Ukube nje bebengangitshela engikwenzile noma engikushilo!” Umyeni wami, owayelele embhedeni ekamelweni elilodwa, wangizwa ngikhala kakhulu futhi wangivusa. Umcamelo wami wawumanzi te izinyembezi, futhi ukucindezeleka okudabukisayo komoya kwakuphezu kwami. {1T 577.2–578.1}

Ngenkathi u-Ellen G. White ephupha lokhu entwasahlobo ka-1876, wayehamba nomyeni wakhe futhi bama e-Orange endleleni ebuyela e-Battle Creek. (I-Battle Creek, indawo ebonakala ngokucacile yesenzo sephupho, iwumfanekiso.) Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi indawo yesenzo sephupho yabonakala ngokucacile njenge-Battle Creek, ngaleso sikhathi okwakuyisizinda seNkomfa Jikelele. Ngakho udwendwe lwamaKatolika alubona lwakhiwa abaholi beNgqungquthela-Jikelele. Namuhla iKomidi Eliphethe lamalungu angama-300 angalingani leNkomfa Jikelele. Okokuqala wagcizelela ukuthi wayebazi kahle abantu ababeza emzini wakhe, njengoba ayengakaluboni udwendwe lwamaKatolika. Wabe esebheka futhi—okuyinkomba yokugxuma kwesikhathi (esikhathini sethu)—futhi iNgqungquthela Jikelele yayisiphenduke udwendwe lwamaKatolika.

Mhlawumbe singangena sijule futhi sihlonze uhlobo lwamaKhatholika u-Ellen G. White owaboniswa. Omunye wayephethe isiphambano omunye ephethe umhlanga ngesandla. Kokubili kubhekisela kuJesu uqobo noma ekuhluphekeni Kwakhe...

Amhlubula, amembathisa ingubo ebomvu. Sebeluke umqhele wameva bawubeka ekhanda lakhe. nomhlanga esandleni sakhe sokunene. aguqa phambi kwakhe amklolodela, athi: Bayede, Nkosi yabaJuda! Bamkhafulela, futhi wathatha umhlanga, wamshaya ekhanda. (UMathewu 27: 28-30)

Khona-ke indoda enomhlanga yathakatha indlu ka-Ellen G. White kanye nawo wonke umsebenzi wakhe wokuphila kanye nemibhalo yakhe ngokuchaza (ngoba “bakhulume ngokumelene nesimiso sethu esingcwele”). Uma izimpawu ezimbili zokuqala (isiphambano nomhlanga) ziphakamisa umqondo wokuthi u-Ellen G. White wayekhuluma lapha nge UJesuyayo, khona-ke izocaca nakakhulu. Iyiphi emibhalweni ka-Ellen G. White eyayikhuluma ngokumelene “nongcwele Oda"?

Kwakuyimibhalo yena ngokwakhe asho ngayo okulandelayo:

“Impikiswano Enkulu,” Ngaphezu Kwesiliva noma Igolide-Impikiswano Enkulu kufanele kakhulu isatshalaliswa kabanzi. Iqukethe indaba yesikhathi esidlule, esamanje, nekusasa. Ekushoneni kwalo ngezigcawu zokugcina zomlando walomhlaba, linikeza ubufakazi obunamandla obumelela iqiniso. Nginguye ukukhathazeka okwengeziwe ukubona ukusakazwa kabanzi kwalencwadi kunanoma yiziphi ezinye engizibhalile; ngoba Impikiswano Enkulu, isigijimi sokugcina sesixwayiso emhlabeni sinikezwa ngokucace kakhulu kunanoma iyiphi yezincwadi zami.— Incwadi 281, 1905.CM 127.1}….

INkosi ibeke phambi kwami ​​izindaba ezibalulekile esikhathini samanje, nezifinyelela esikhathini esizayo. Amazwi akhulunyiwe ngecala kimi, “Zilobe encwadini lokho okubonile nokuzwileyo, uzidlulisele kubantu bonke; ngoba isikhathi sesiseduze lapho umlando wesikhathi esidlule uzophindwa khona.” Ngike ngavuswa ngehora lokuqala, elesibili, noma lesithathu ezimpondweni ngephuzu elithile eligxiliswe ngenkani engqondweni yami, njengokungathi ngikhulunywe yizwi likaNkulunkulu.... {CM 128.1}….

Ibhuku Impikiswano Enkulu, ngincoma ngaphezu kwesiliva negolide, futhi ngifisa kakhulu ukuthi ize phambi kwabantu. Ngenkathi ubhala umbhalo wesandla we Impikiswano Enkulu, ngangivame ukuqaphela ukuba khona kwezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu. Futhi izikhathi eziningi izigcawu engangibhala ngazo zavezwa kimi zintsha ngemibono yasebusuku, ukuze ahlaziyeke futhi acace engqondweni yami.— Incwadi 56, 1911. {CM 128.3}

Ungabona ukuthi isitha siyizonda kangakanani le ncwadi ngokuthi sabhekana nokuhlaselwa okubi okuvela kuSathane lapho eqala ukusebenza kukho:

Ezinsukwini ezimbili kamuva, lapho sihamba ngezimoto siya eJackson, eMik., sahlela izinhlelo zethu zokubhala nokunyathelisa, ngokushesha lapho sibuyela ekhaya, incwadi enesihloko esithi, “Impikiswano Enkulu Phakathi KukaKristu Nezingelosi Zakhe, NoSathane Nezingelosi Zakhe,” ngokuvamile eyaziwa ngokuthi “Izipho Zomoya,” Umq. 1. [Qaphela.—Lo mqulu, okhuluma ngokuwa komuntu, icebo lokuhlengwa, nomlando webandla kusukela esikhathini sikaKristu kuze kufike emhlabeni omusha, uhambisana nengxenye yokugcina ye-Early Writings, 145-295 (uhlelo olusha). Ingxenye yomqulu, njengoba yandiswa eminyakeni yakamuva, manje isinyatheliswa ngokwehlukana ngaphansi kwesihloko esivamile esithi, “The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan.”] Nganginjalo ngaleso sikhathi njengokuvamile.

Ekufikeni kwesitimela eJackson, saya kuMfoweth’ uPalmer. Sasikade sisendlini kodwa isikhathi esifushane, ngenkathi, ngenkathi ngixoxa noDadewethu uPalmer, ulimi lwami lwenqaba ukukhuluma engangifisa ukukusho, futhi kwakubonakala kukhulu futhi kunomsindo. Umuzwa ongejwayelekile, obandayo washaya inhliziyo yami, wadlula ekhanda lami, wehla ngasohlangothini lwami lwesokudla. Okwesikhathi esithile ngangingenangqondo, kodwa ngavuswa izwi lomkhuleko oqotho. Ngazama ukusebenzisa izitho zami zesobunxele, kodwa zazingasizi ngalutho. Kwaphela isikhathi esifushane ngingalindele ukuphila. Kwakuwukushaqeka kwami ​​okwesithathu kokukhubazeka; futhi nakuba kungakapheli amakhilomitha angamashumi amahlanu ukusuka ekhaya, ngangingalindele ukuphinde ngibabone abantwana bami. Ngakhumbula isizini yokunqoba engangiyijabulele eLovett's Grove, futhi ngacabanga ukuthi kwakuwubufakazi bami bokugcina, futhi ngazizwa ngibuyisana ngokufa.

Noma kunjalo imikhuleko eqotho yabangane bami yayikhuphukela ezulwini ngenxa yami, futhi ngokushesha kwezwakala umuzwa ohlabayo ezithweni zami, futhi ngadumisa iNkosi ukuthi ngingayisebenzisa kancane. INkosi yezwa futhi yaphendula imikhuleko ethembekile yabantwana Bayo, futhi amandla kaSathane ephulwa. Ngalobo busuku ngahlupheka kakhulu, kodwa ngakusasa ngaqiniswa ngokwanele ukuba ngibuyele ekhaya.

Kwaphela amasonto ambalwa ngingezwa ukucindezela kwesandla noma amanzi abandayo ethelwa ekhanda lami. Lapho ngisukuma ukuze ngihambe, ngangivame ukudiyazela, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngiwe phansi. Kulesi simo esibuhlungu ngaqala ukubhala ngempikiswano enkulu. Ekuqaleni ngangikwazi ukubhala kodwa ikhasi elilodwa ngosuku, bese uphumula izinsuku ezintathu; kodwa njengoba ngithuthuka, amandla ami anda. Ukuba ndikindiki kwasekhanda lami akuzange kubonakale kuyifiphaza ingqondo yami, futhi ngaphambi kokuba ngiwuvale lowo msebenzi [“Izipho Zomoya,” Umq. 1], umphumela wokushaqeka wawungishiye ngokuphelele.

Ngesikhathi senkomfa e-Battle Creek, ngoJuni, 1858, ngaboniswa embonweni ukuthi ekuhlaselweni okungazelelwe eJackson, USathane wayehlose ukuthatha impilo yami, ukuze avimbe umsebenzi ngase ngibhala; kodwa izingelosi zikaNkulunkulu zathunyelwa ukuba zingisindise. Ngabona futhi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuthi kufanele ngibusiswe ngempilo engcono kunangaphambi kokuhlasela. {I-LS 162.2–163.3}

Impela lo mbhalo, kanye nephupho lodwendwe luka-1867, kumele ufake nobufakazi bokuthi ibandla lethu lingenwe ngokuphelele ihlelo “elingcwele” lamaJesuit. Ngakho lapho Impikiswano Enkulu ingabe u-Ellen G. White wakhuluma ngamaJesuit? Ukucwaninga okubanzi kwayo yonke imibhalo ka-Ellen G. White (amakhasi angaba ngu-100,000) kwembula umphumela othakazelisayo kakhulu ... ngokujwayelekile, wakhuluma ngokumelene namaJesuit. kuphela in Impikiswano Enkulu (kodwa ngokucacile kuleyo ncwadi).

Kulo lonke eLobukholwa, UbuProthestani basongelwa izitha ezesabekayo. Ukunqoba kokuqala kweNkathi Yenguquko, iRoma yabiza amabutho amasha, inethemba lokufeza okwayo ukubhujiswa. Ngalesi sikhathi i uhlelo lwamaJesuit kwadalwa, enonya, engenanembeza, futhi enamandla kunabo bonke abanqobi bobupapa. Sinqanyuliwe ebudlelwaneni basemhlabeni nasezithakazelweni zomuntu, ezifile ezimangalweni zothando lwemvelo, isizathu nonembeza kuthuliswe ngokuphelele, babengazi umthetho, noma thayi, kodwa lowo wokuhleleka kwabo, futhi akukho msebenzi ngaphandle kokwelula amandla awo. Ivangeli likaKristu lenze abalandeli balo ukuba bahlangabezane nengozi futhi babekezelele ukuhlupheka, bengathuswa amakhaza, indlala, ukukhandleka, kanye nobumpofu, ukuze baphakamise ibhanela leqiniso ebusweni bomgede, umgodi, kanye nesigxobo. Ukulwa nala mandla, UbuJesuitism igqugquzele abalandeli bayo ngokuthi a ukushisekela ngokweqile lokho kwabenza bakwazi ukubekezela njengezingozi, futhi bamelane namandla eqiniso zonke izikhali zokukhohlisa. Kwakungekho bugebengu obukhulu kakhulu ukuba bangabenza, akukho nkohliso eyayiphansi kakhulu ukuba bayenze, akukho ukucasha okunzima kakhulu ukuba bakucabange. Ufungelwe ubumpofu nokuthobeka okungapheli, [bheka ukubukeka kaPapa Francis] kwakuwumgomo wabo ababewufundele ukuthola ingcebo namandla, ukuzinikela ekuketulweni kobuProthestani, nasekumisweni kabusha kobukhosi bopapa. [bheka umlayezo kapapa kuKenneth Copeland ku isihloko sokugcina]

Lapho bevela njengamalungu e-oda labo, bembethe imvunulo yobungcwele, bevakashile amajele futhi izibhedlela, ngikhonza i abagulayo nabampofu, ezisholo ukuthi ulahlile umhlaba, [UPapa Francis: IBandla kufanele likulahle okomhlaba] ephethe igama elingcwele likaJesu, owahamba enza okuhle. Kodwa ngaphansi kwalesi sangaphandle esingenasici izinjongo zobugebengu nezibulalayo kakhulu zazivame ukufihlwa. Kwakuyisimiso esiyisisekelo sohlelo ukuthi isiphetho sithethelela izindlela. Ngale khodi, ukuqamba amanga, ukweba, ukuqamba amanga, ukubulala, babengagcini nje ngokuthethelelwa kodwa betuseka, lapho befeza izithakazelo zebandla. Ngaphansi ezihlukahlukene ezifihlayo amaJesuit asebenza indlela yawo ezikhundleni zombuso, ekhuphukela ukuba abeluleki bamakhosi, futhi ukubumba inqubomgomo yezizwe. Baba izinceku zokuba yizinhloli zamakhosi azo. Bamisa amakolishi amadodana ezikhulu nezikhulu, nezikole zabantu abavamile; futhi abantwana babazali bamaProthestani badonsekela ekugubheni amasiko obupapa. Bonke ubukhazikhazi bangaphandle kanye nokubukiswa kokukhonza kwamaRomi kwalethwa ukuze kuphanjaniswe ingqondo futhi kucwebezele futhi kuhehe umcabango, ngaleyondlela inkululeko obaba ababeyikhandlekele futhi bopha yakhashelwa ngamadodana. AmaJesuit azisakaze ngokushesha kulo lonke elaseYurophu, futhi nomaphi lapho ayeya khona, kwalandela ukuvuselelwa kobupapa.

Ukuze zibanike amandla amakhulu, kwakhishwa inkunzi ukusungula kabusha i-Inquisition. Naphezu kwenzondo evamile eyayibhekwa ngayo, ngisho nasemazweni amaKatolika, lenkantolo embi yaphinde yamiswa ababusi bobupapa, futhi. izenzo zonya ezimbi kakhulu ukuba zingabekezelelwa zaziphindaphindwa emigodini yayo eyimfihlo. Emazweni amaningi, izinkulungwane zezinkulungwane zembali yesizwe, abamsulwa nabahlonipheke kakhulu, abefundisi abahlakaniphe kakhulu nabafunde kakhulu, abangcwele nabazinikele, izakhamuzi ezikhuthele nezishisekela izwe, izazi ezihlakaniphile, abadwebi abanamakhono, abadwebi abanekhono, babulawa noma baphoqwa ukuba babalekele kwamanye amazwe.

Lezi kwakuyizindlela iRoma eyayizicelile ukucima ukukhanya kweNguquko, ukuhoxa kubantu iBhayibheli, nokubuyisela ukungazi nokukholelwa ezeni kweNkathi Yobumnyama. Kodwa ngaphansi kwesibusiso sikaNkulunkulu kanye nokusebenza kanzima kwalawomadoda ayizicukuthwane ayewaphakamisile ukuba alandele uLuther, ubuProthestani abuzange bugumbuqelwe. Akubanga umusa noma izingalo zezikhulu ukukweleta amandla alo. Amazwe amancane kunawo wonke, izizwe eziphansi nezinamandla amancane, aba yizinqaba zayo. KwakuyiGeneva encane phakathi kwezitha ezinamandla ezazihlela ukubhujiswa kwayo; kwakuyiHolland osebeni lwesanti yayo ngasolwandle olusenyakatho, ibambana nokucindezela kweSpain, ngaleso sikhathi eyayimibuso emikhulu nedlabe kakhulu; kwakumnyama, iSweden eyayiyinyumba, eyazuza ukunqoba kweNguquko. {GC 234.2–235.3}

Namuhla mhlawumbe kuzoba yiParaguay encane, enabantu bayo abayizigidi eziyisithupha nje. Isanda kukhipha a isitatimende sikahulumeni lokho okuphambene neNhlangano Yamazwe AseMelika (i-OAS) kanye nengcindezi yezifundazwe ezimbi ezingomakhelwane zaseBrazil nase-Argentina. Isitatimende sithe ngeke sivumele imishado yabantu bobulili obufanayo lapha noma sinikeze ukulingana kumalungu omphakathi we-LGBT. Kumelwe kube nesizathu, futhi, sokuthi kungani uNkulunkulu ekhethe lelizwe elincane njengesihlalo esisha sethempeli lakhe lasemhlabeni kanye igceke.

Sibona incazelo ecacile yobupapa bukaFrancis embhalweni oyisixwayiso ka-Ellen G. White ongenhla. Ngisho nokukhethwa kwegama lakhe likapapa kukhomba ohlelweni lwakhe lokuthobeka njengesembozo samacala amabi azoqala manje ngaphansi kokubusa kwakhe. Ungumshushisi wamaKristu eqiniso ayonquma ukugcina iSabatha ngokumelene nemithetho yezizwe zawo kanye nezimemezelo zikaKristu wamanga ozofika maduze.

Ngemva kweBhayibheli, incwadi uSathane ayizonda kakhulu yenziwa inhlekisa. Yangcoliswa ngokuyisika isuka emakhasini angaphezu kuka-700 yaya ngaphansi kwangama-90, futhi lokhu kwenziwa uTed Wilson namadoda akhe ababegqoke izingubo ezimnyama, ezanziwa zaba mhlophe futhi banikezwa u-7 wegolide ngaphambili. Akukho lutho olwashiwo u-Ellen G. White mayelana nobupapa noma uhlelo lwamaJesuit olwakhululwa ukupela. Futhi, bangane, lokhu kwakuwumklamo walesi sitha esinonya sobuProthestani ngokwezigaba zethu ekuqaleni kuka-2010, ngoba u-Ted Wilson wayesememezele ukunyatheliswa nokusabalalisa amakhophi ayizigidi ezingamakhulu ezigidi “Impikiswano Enkulu” ngemva nje kokukhethwa kwakhe. Thina wabhala Mayelana nakho. Wonke umfundi kufanele azi ukuthi lo mbhalo ofingqiwe futhi ohlanekezelwe wamaJesuit unegama eliklolodayo Ithemba Elikhulu, futhi manje sekunesikhathi eside isatshalaliswa ngama-Adventist ayizigidi eziyi-18 athengiswa ngeziphukuphuku, okungenzeka awakaze afunde okwangempela. impikiswano enkulu.

Lona inkohliso enkulu yephrojekthi kusukela kwasungulwa leli bandla. Babiza iwebhusayithi esemthethweni Iphrojekthi ye-Great Controversy futhi ikhombisa ama-Adventist ama-wannabe ku eliyisiqalo abangenalwazi mayelana nekhodi yokugqoka. Zingahlukaniswa nomhlaba kancane njengoba le ncwadi ingahlukaniswa noveli ye-esoteric eyeyisayo esho okuthile mayelana nokufika kukaKristu ongowezizwe oluhlaza.

(Labo abangakuqondi ukuphawula kwami ​​mayelana nekhodi yokugqoka kufanele nakanjani bayifunde incwadi I-Creeping Compromise nguJoe Crews. Lo msunguli we Amaqiniso Amazing-ngokungafani nomongameli wamanje u-Doug Batchelor-ubhale ikhodi yeqiniso yokuziphatha yama-Adventist futhi wayiphakamisa. Yebo ibuyela eBhayibhelini kanye nemibhalo ka-Ellen G. White. Ngeke ukwazi ukuthola eminye imininingwane ehlangene futhi emfishane mayelana nokuthi kufanele ushintshe kanjani impilo yakho, ukudla kwakho kanye nezingubo zakho ukuze ube ngowe-144,000! Abesifazane qaphela: kuzoba nzima kuwe, ngoba imfashini yanamuhla ayikwanele kuwe. Umkami othandekayo, eseneminyaka engaba ngu-30, walwa futhi wanqoba umzabalazo wobuqhawe ngokumelene nezinto azithandayo. Bonke labo abacabanga ukuthi bangalala eholidini lolwandle kanye nabantu abanqunu ingxenye noma abanqunu ngokuphelele abagcagca elangeni futhi bajabulise uNkulunkulu ngesikhathi esifanayo kufanele manje bazilungiselele ukugqoka okufudumele ukuya eholidini lokuqwala izintaba esikhundleni salokho. Futhi enye into... ikhodi yokugqoka ayisebenzi nje kuphela ngeSabatha ebandleni, kodwa nakulo lonke isonto lomsebenzi. Cha, uNkulunkulu akenzanga kwaba lula kuwe, kodwa labo abasenalo uthando lwabo lokuqala bayothola ukuthi umthwalo Wakhe ulula.)

Imvuselelo enkulu kanye nenguquko eyathenjiswa uTed Wilson eminyakeni emine edlule iphenduka iqhinga lamaJesuit lamaphilisi okulala ezimisweni ezimbalwa ezisele esinazo eBandleni lama-Adventist. Bagebenga ubunikazi bethu besikhathi esidlule nesakusasa, obabuboniswa ikakhulukazi ku Impikiswano Enkulu, futhi benza ama-Adventist aba abavangeli bezincwadi zamaRoma. Ngincoma isihloko izinyathelo eziya eRoma kunoma ngubani namanje ongakaboni ukuthi yini edlalwayo ngenxa yalezi zithelo. Lapho ungabona indlela amaJesuit angena ngayo ebandleni lethu, ikakhulukazi ngeminyaka yawo-1980. Konke lokhu kubhalwe ku Orion futhi Umkhumbi Wesikhathi, izincwadi ezimbili zikaNkulunkulu zasezulwini, iBhayibheli elibhekisela kuzo Incwadi yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa futhi Incwadi Yemidumo eyisikhombisa.

Ukuhlasela Kwesibili Ngezikhali Ezisindayo

Lokho kwakunganele kuTed Wilson nabafowabo abangabangane bakhe. U-Ellen G. White kwadingeka afe ngokuphelele, hhayi nje Impikiswano Enkulu. Eminye imibhalo yakhe kwadingeka inyamalale. Lo mlingani onobuzenzisi kaPapa uFrancis angakufeza kanjani lokho emasontweni ethu, ngesikhathi kanyekanye ephethe umsebenzi wokuba umongameli odla ngoludala?

Akekho okufanele abukele phansi ubuqili bamaJesuit! U-Ellen G. White wakwenza kwacaca lokho ngenhla, akunjalo? UTed Wilson akagcinanga ngokumemezela ukusatshalaliswa kwezigidi zamakhophi we Impikiswano Enkulu ngemva kokukhethwa kwakhe, kodwa futhi nokuthi wayezobuyisela u-Ellen G. White endaweni yakhe yendabuko. Ku-General Conference Session e-Atlanta, enkulumweni yakhe (e) edumile yangomhla zi-3 kuJulayi 2010. Dlulela Phambili (ividiyo|umbhalo), wakhuluma amazwi amakhulu ngokubaluleka kwemibhalo ka-Ellen G. White:

Manje, ukubuyela kusAmbulo 12:17 nolunye uphawu olukhulu oluhlukanisayo lwensali kaNkulunkulu. Sifunda ukuthi ‘bayoba nobufakazi ngoJesu Kristu. IsAmbulo 19:10 sisitshela ukuthi “ubufakazi bukaJesu bungumoya wokuprofetha.” Umoya ofanayo owashukumisa amadoda angcwele asendulo, kulezi zinsuku zokugcina, uye waveza isithunywa seNkosi. Abafowethu nodadewethu beBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist, iNkosi isinike isipho esikhulu kunazo zonke esingaba khona emibhalweni yoMoya wesiprofetho. Njengoba nje iBhayibheli lingaphelelwa yisikhathi noma lingabalulekile, kanjalo nobufakazi besithunywa sikaNkulunkulu sesikhathi sokuphela abukho. UNkulunkulu wasebenzisa u-Ellen G White njengenceku ezithobile ukuze anikeze ukuqonda okuphefumulelwe ngemiBhalo, isiprofetho, impilo, imfundo, ubudlelwano, ukuthunywa, imindeni, nezinye izihloko eziningi. Masifunde uMoya wesiprofetho, silandele uMoya wesiprofetho futhi sabelane ngoMoya wokuProfetha. Ziningi kakhulu izincwadi ezinhle ongabelana ngazo kuhlanganise nencwadi eyodwa u-Ellen G. White wabonisa ukuthi wayefisa ukusakazwa ngaphezu kwanoma iyiphi enye, ethi, “The Great Controversy.” Siyabonga iNkosi ngenkululeko engokwenkolo kuleli nakwamanye amazwe esivumela ukuba sabelane ngeqiniso. Umoya Wesiprofetho ungomunye we ukukhomba izimpawu zabantu bakaNkulunkulu bezinsuku zokugcina futhi isasebenza nanamuhla njengakuqala ngoba sayiphiwa izulu ngokwalo. Njengensali ethembekile kaNkulunkulu, kwangathi singelokothe ​​sikwenze ize ukukhanya okuyigugu esikuphiwe emibhalweni ka-Ellen G. White.

Kodwa kungazelelwe ngo-Okthoba 9, 2013 sifunda umyalezo olandelayo owesabekayo Isonto lama-Seventh-day Adventist:

I-Pacific Press Iyaphuma Ebhizinisini Lezitolo Zezincwadi Ezisebenzayo

Ngizofingqa amaphuzu abaluleke kakhulu kulesi sihloko.

1. I-Pacific Press Publishing Association (eyasungulwa ngo-1874), ingenye yezindlu ezimbili zokushicilela ezisebenzela i-General Conference eNyakatho Melika. Enye incwadi ethi Review and Herald. I-Pacific Press ibuyisela umthwalo wemfanelo wama-ABC angama-25 (izitolo zezincwadi zama-Adventist) emuva ezingqungqutheleni zasendaweni ezanikeza umshicileli umthwalo wemfanelo eminyakeni eyi-15 edlule. Ngaleso sikhathi, izitolo zezincwadi zazingakwazi ukusebenza ngokunenzuzo.

2. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukuvalwa kwezitolo zezincwadi, ngoba azikwazi ukubakhona ngokwazo futhi azisekelwa ngokwezimali. Hhayi ngeNgqungquthela Jikelele, noma umshicileli, noma izinkomfa zendawo.

3. Lesi sinqumo senziwe kusukela ngoDisemba 31, 2013. (Siphinde sathola lolu suku emugqeni wesikhathi esithangamini sethu.)

4. Bathethelela isinqumo ngokususelwa eqinisweni lokuthi ukuziphatha komthengi kuthiwa kushintshile ngenxa yobuchwepheshe obusha njenge-inthanethi, ngaleyo ndlela. ukuphuca izitolo zezincwadi isisekelo sazo sezimali.

5. I-Adventist eke yasebenza embonini yokushicilela yasho okuthile okukhombisa ukuthi isizathu sokuvalwa silele kwenye indawo. Sekuyiminyaka engu-10 ukuthengiswa okuqondile kwezincwadi kuqhathaniswa nokuthengiswa kwe-e-book. Izitolo zezincwadi kuphela ezinendawo enhle kanye nesiminyaminya somphakathi ezisebenza ngokunenzuzo enkulu (isb. i-ABC esenxanxatheleni yezitolo eMaryland). Kodwa-ke, cishe wonke ama-ABC akhiwe ngaphakathi noma eduze kwesakhiwo samahhovisi sezinkomfa zasendaweni, lapho cishe kungekho traffic yomphakathi. Ngakho, uthi phakathi kwemigqa abayenzile amaphutha amakhulu okuphatha, futhi ngithi lokhu kwenziwa ngamabomu, njengoba sizobona.

6. Ngiyaqala ngqa ukufunda ngohlelo ukuze lezi zindlu ezimbili zokushicilela zama-Adventist zihlangane. Kuze kube manje, banyathelise futhi banyathelisa ngokuzimela. Maduze sizobona ukuthi lokhu kuhlanganiswa kusho ukuthini nokuthi liyini icebo langempela ngemuva kwakho.

Noma ngubani ocabanga ukuthi "u-Conservative" u-Ted Wilson ngokwakhe akahlangene nakho wenza iphutha futhi. Wavakashela e Pacific Press ngo-Agasti ka-2013, futhi ngesibindi samaJesuit sasonta zonke izingcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White ezikhuluma ngomsebenzi wengelosi yesine owenziwa ngokuyinhloko “yizindlu zokushicilela” nama-colporteur. Nasi isibonelo sengcaphuno eyodwa enjalo:

Futhi ngezinga elikhulu ngokusebenzisa izindlu zethu zokushicilela kufanele kufezwe umsebenzi walokho enye ingelosi owehla ezulwini elamandla amakhulu nokhanyisa umhlaba ngenkazimulo yakhe.

Obalulekile umthwalo ophezu kwezindlu zethu zokushicilela. Labo abenza lezi zikhungo, labo ohlelayo omagazini futhi balungise izincwadi, bemi njengoba benza ekukhanyeni kwenjongo kaNkulunkulu, futhi ebizelwe ukunikeza isixwayiso emhlabeni, babekwa icala nguNkulunkulu ngemiphefumulo yabanye abantu. Kubo, kanye nakubefundisi bezwi, kusetshenziswa isigijimi uNkulunkulu asinikeza umprofethi Wakhe wasendulo: “Ndodana yomuntu, ngikubekile umlindi wendlu kaIsrayeli; ngalokho uyakuzwa izwi emlonyeni wami, ubaxwayise ngokusuka kimi. Lapho ngithi komubi, wena muntu omubi, uyakufa nokufa; uma ungakhulumi ukumxwayisa omubi endleleni yakhe, lowo muntu omubi uyakufa ngobubi bakhe; kepha igazi lakhe ngiyakulibiza esandleni sakho. Hezekeli 33:7, 8. {7T 140.3–4}

Ngayo yonke imfucumfucu ethengisiwe kuma-ABC ngenkathi izincwadi zika-Ellen G. White ziqoqa uthuli emashalofini, kuzodingeka sizibuze ukuthi iyini “indlu yoshicilelo” yokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu weqiniso. Bangobani ababhali Bakhe beqiniso nabavangeli bezincwadi? Akumangalisi yini ukuthi u-Ellen G. White ucaphuna uHezekeli lapha mayelana nengelosi yesine? Besilokhu sithi144,000 incwadi kaHezekeliXNUMX isikhathi esithile sencwadi kaHezekeliXNUMX. kanye nomlayezo wengelosi yesine, njengencwadi kaDaniyeli kwakuyincwadi yebandla leSDA ngaphansi kwengelosi yesithathu. UNkulunkulu unezindlela Zakhe futhi uvula izindlela ezintsha lapho abaholi becabanga ukuthi baphephile ukucekela phansi umsebenzi Wakhe. Uma sibeka umbono ofanele, amazwi ka-Ted Wilson asuka ku-August 15, 2013 azwakala njengebika elibi (engxenyeni yezihlubuki yebandla le-SDA) manje eligcwaliseka phambi kwamehlo ethu:

Kwesinye isikhathi izinhlelo esicabanga ukuthi zingcono kakhulu esimweni esithile, kungenzeka kungabi yilokho uNkulunkulu akucabangayo.

Nokho, engxenyeni esele yalesi sihloko se-Pacific Press, kunzima ukubona ukuthi ukuhlanganiswa kwezindlu ezimbili zokushicilela zama-Adventist kusho ukuthini ngempela, yingakho ngingakwazi ukubhala ngalezi zinto emuva ngaleso sikhathi noma ngifinyelele iziphetho mayelana nemiphumela ezayo. Kodwa kamuva nje lapho ngibheka lolu daba ngokuqhubekayo, ividiyo ye-YouTube ka Umfundisi uBrandon Coy wangivula amehlo. Uxoxa nomzalwane we-Seventh-day Adventist “osebenza neReview and Herald” (mhlawumbe ofana nalo okukhulunywe ngaye esihlokweni se-Adventist Today).

(Imibhalo engezansi iyatholakala.)

Ngizophinda ngifingqe izitatimende ezibaluleke kakhulu ukuze ubambe isithombe esikhulu ngemiphumela yaso emibi:

1. Ekuqaleni, umzalwane ugcizelela lokho u-Ellen G. White akuloba mayelana ukubaluleka komsebenzi wokushicilela. Usebenzisa lesi sicaphuno esingenhla ngomsebenzi wengelosi yesine futhi uthi isimo samanje siyamethusa.

2. I-Review and Herald izoyeka ngokuphelele ukuphrinta izincwadi, nakuba izoqhubeka nokuba khona njengendawo yokunyathelisa egameni enehhovisi ekomkhulu le-GC e-Silver Spring, MD.

3. Izincwadi zika-Ellen G. White-like Isifiso Seminyaka futhi Impikiswano Enkulu—ngeke isanyatheliswa.

4. I-Pacific Press, njengendlu yokugcina yokunyathelisa yama-Adventist, izothathwa yi-North American Division (NAD) futhi ngaleyo ndlela izoba ngaphansi kokulawula kwayo ngokuphelele.

5. Lezi zinto sezinqunyiwe, kodwa kuqhubeke June 17, 2014 yonke into iqala ukusebenza ngevoti. [Le dethi izosikhathaza kakhulu ngasekupheleni kwesihloko.]

6. Lezi zikhungo ezimbili ebezizibusa phambilini manje “zizothathwa” yiBandla emazingeni ahlukene!

7. SinePacific Press kuphela engakwazi ukuphrinta, kodwa kuzokwenzekani uma umlilo ubhubhisa i-Pacific Press? Khona-ke sasingeke sibe nayo indlela yokunyathelisa izincwadi zethu noma yokuba ama-colporteur azithole ukuze azihambise phakathi nokukhala okukhulu.

Ake ngiyiphazamise kafushane inhlolokhono. Kubonakala sengathi umzalwane wazi kahle ukuthi u-Ellen G. White wathini mayelana nemililo emibili enyantisayo yendawo ehlanekezelayo e-Battle Creek kanye nendlu yokushicilela ethi Review and Herald:

Lapho I-Battle Creek Sanitarium wabhujiswa [ngoFebhuwari 18, 1902], uKristu wazinikela ukuze avikele izimpilo zabesilisa nabesifazane. Kulokhu kubhujiswa uNkulunkulu wayenxusa abantu Bakhe ukuthi babuyele Kuye. Futhi ekubhujisweni kwe Buyekeza kanye nehhovisi le-Herald [ngoDisemba 30, 1902], nokusindisa ukuphila, Ubanxusa okwesibili. Ufisa ukuthi babone ukuthi amandla okwenza izimangaliso Ongenasiphelo asetshenziselwe ukusindisa impilo, ukuze wonke umsebenzi athole ithuba lokuphenduka futhi aguqulwe. UNkulunkulu uthi: “Uma bephendukela Kimi, Ngizobuyisela kubo injabulo yensindiso Yami. Kodwa uma beqhubeka behamba ngendlela yabo, ngizosondela nakakhulu; usizi luyofikela imindeni ethi ikholwa yiqiniso, ingalenzi iqiniso, engenzi uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli abe yingebhe kubo.” {8t102.3}

Embonweni wasebusuku, ngabona inkemba yomlilo ilenga phezu kwe-Battle Creek. Bazalwane, uNkulunkulu useduze nathi. Ngifuna ukukutshela lokho uma emva kwezixwayiso ezinikezwe kulokhu kushiswa, abaholi babantu bakithi baqhubeke, njengoba nje benza endulo, baziphakamise, UNkulunkulu uzothatha imizimba ngokulandelayo. Njengoba impela ephila, uyokhuluma kubo ngolimi abangeke behluleke ukuluqonda. UNkulunkulu usibhekile ukuthi sizozithoba yini phambi Kwakhe njengabantwana abancane. Ngikhuluma lamazwi manje ukuze size kuye ngokuzithoba nangokuzisola, futhi sithole ukuthi yini ayidingayo kithi. {4MR 367.2}

Ngayalelwa ukuthi kube njalo bonisa ukunganaki iZwi likaNkulunkulu, inikezwe ngobufakazi bukaMoya wakhe oNgcwele, ukuthi iNkosi iphenduke futhi igumbuqele, evakashela i-Battle Creek ngezahlulelo Zakhe. . . . Ngizazi kahle izimo ezikhona kukho kokubili i-Review and Herald Publishing Company kanye ne-Sanitarium. Ngithole imiyalelo yokuthi kungani lezi zakhiwo ezinkulu zicekelwe phansi ngomlilo. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi ngaphandle uma ukuphathwa kwalezi zikhungo kwenziwa kakhulu ngokomyalelo kaNkulunkulu, kuyoba nezambulo ezengeziwe zokucasuka kukaNkulunkulu. {Kusukela Inkonzo YokushicilelaKk. 172-173}

Ingabe sesifikile isikhathi manje sokuba isiprofetho sika-Ellen G. White sigcwaliseke? Ingabe kukhona “ukudelela okubonakala kangaka kweZwi likaNkulunkulu” ngasohlangothini lobuholi banamuhla be-SDA? Uyokwehla kuphi umlilo, lapho i-Review and Herald inehhovisi layo endlunkulu yeNgqungquthela Jikelele kusukela ngoJuni 17, 2014 kuya phambili?

Asiqhubeke nesifinyezo senhlolokhono:

8. Umbuzo olandelayo uthi: kuzokwenzekani kubavangeli bezincwadi (ama-colporteur)? Umzalwane ubonakala engakwazi ukuzisiza, ngoba akekho owazi ukusebenza ngaphandle kokunyatheliswa kwezincwadi. Nokho, uthi ngokuka-Ellen G. White, kuyoba nomsebenzi wama-colporteur kuze kube sekupheleni komnyango wesihe, kodwa hhayi owabefundisi. Uthi futhi indlela yesintu ingasebenza kuphela uma izincwadi zikhona. Uma kungenjalo, khona-ke uNkulunkulu uyothola enye indlela. [Futhi unalokho nje phambi kwamehlo akho njengamanje njengoba ufunda le migqa. Sisebenza ubusuku nemini ekushicilelweni kweqiniso, okugcwele izingcaphuno ezivela emisebenzini ka-Ellen G. White, sikunikeza into ebaluleke kakhulu ngendlela egxilile ngoba “lokho osekuyiminyaka sikufunda, kuzodingeka bakufunde ezinyangeni ezimbalwa.” {I-EW 67.2}]

9. Njengesizathu sokuzimisela kwakhe ukwenza le nhlolokhono, lo mzalwane uthi imayelana nemiphefumulo ezolahleka ngoba azikho izincwadi ezizonyatheliswa. Lokhu kumayelana “nezinto eziphakade” kanye “nokuphila okuphakade,” hhayi ngezimali kanye nemali.

10. Ngenxa yokuthi “isonto alisekeli [Isibuyekezo kanye ne-Herald] ngendlela yokuthi iqhubeke,” kumelwe siyekwe isakhiwo esidala, futhi izisebenzi eziningi zizodilizwa. Uma ukuBuyekeza bekungeke kuvumelene nohlelo lweNgqungquthela Jikelele, ukuwa kwezezimali bekuyoba ukuphela kwendlela esele. [Ingabe ubukulindele lokhu “ku-Ted Wilson” wakho “othandekayo? EJalimane sithi “othile ubeke isibhamu esifubeni sakhe.”]

11. Kunezibalo ezehlukene zokuthi bangaki abasebenzi abazolahlekelwa yimisebenzi (abaphakathi kuka-40 no-100 babalulwe). Abanye bazoya ePacific Press e-Idaho; abanye bazoba nomsebenzi ehhovisi elisha lokubukeza e-Silver Spring, MD. Kodwa abaningi kuyodingeka bathole umsebenzi omusha.

12. I-Review and Herald yayikhona kudala ngaphambi kokuba ihlelo lithole igama ngo-1863. Limele i-Adventism iyonke. Ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kusho ukushicilela izincwadi. Singakuqonda okwenzeka ngesikhathi samaphayona namuhla kuphela ngenxa yokuthi bayishicilela. IZwi likaNkulunkulu lifinyelela emikhawulweni yomhlaba ngokunyatheliswa. Ngokudabukisayo, uyanezela: “Ngandlela-thile, izinto sezishintshile.”

13. “Bazobe bonga imali, kodwa mingaki imiphefumulo ezokhokha izindleko?”

14. I-Review and Herald yayingeyona “izimele” yeBandla, kodwa yayisenayo ukuzimela kanye nekhono lokuzenzela izinqumo. Lokhu kuzimela kulahlekile ngokuphelele manje, nokho. “Selumunyiwe,” futhi manje selulawulwa ngokuphelele yi-GC. [Isimiso samaRoma samandla obukhosi siyasebenza lapha.]

15. “Sidinga imvuselelo…hhayi izinhlelo…sidinga ukuthi uNkulunkulu enze izinguquko ezithile ezinhliziyweni zethu…ngoba ukuphela kwezinto zonke sekusondele.” [Ngakho ukhuluma ngamanga kaTed Wilson uhlelo lwemvuselelo nenguquko. Sibhale ngalokho esigabeni Ngaphansi Kwefulegi Lamanga.]

16. Umzalwane othandekayo uphinde agcizelele ukuthi wonke amaqanda afakwa kubhasikidi owodwa. Kodwa kuthiwani uma iPacific Press ishisa? Sekwenzekile ngesikhathi sika-Ellen G. White. Ingelosi enenkemba evuthayo yema phezu kwe-sanitarium kanye ne-Review ngo-1902. Eminyakeni emine kamuva, i-Pacific Press nayo yasha. Lokho kwakungemva kokwakha kabusha ngemva kokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu kwaseSan Francisco. Ngaleso sikhathi abantu babona ukuthi kwakuyizahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokungaphathi kahle kwabo.

17. Umfundisi uCoy ubuza ukuthi ngabe konke lokhu kungase kube isibonakaliso sokuphela komsebenzi kanye nokuphela kwesikhathi, ngoba i-Adventism yaqala ngempela ngomsebenzi wokushicilela, futhi manje sibona lezi zindlu zivalwa. Impendulo yomzalwane ishiya kungangabazeki: “Uma iReview and Herald ingavalwa, yisiphi isikhungo esisele? Isiphi isikhungo esingekho engozini? Loma Linda? Uhlelo lwethu lonke lokunakekelwa kwezempilo? Amabandla ethu? Konke kuhlanganiswe ndawonye. Akukho ukuzimela, akukho ukwehlukana ukuthi uma ingxenye eyodwa idonswa futhi iwe, yonke ingawa. Pho uma bekwazi ukuvala iReview ngenxa yezinto zezimali, kuthiwani ngeSabatha elizayo ngeke libe khona isonto?” [Sibhale futhi ngalokho ku I-Checkmate yeBandla lama-Adventist.]

18. Umfowethu uyaqhubeka: “[UNkulunkulu] akadingi sakhiwo. Udinga abantu ukuba banyakaze....Okwenzeka kumaJuda kubonakala kwenzeka kithi. Leyo ngxenye ethusayo. Lokho kusho ukuthi uma uMesiya efika kithi, singase singakakulungeli njengoba kwakunjalo ngabantu abezwa umvangeli wokuqala efika, kubelusi ababebizelwe ensimini yokushumayela ivangeli ukuba bangene eJerusalema owayezozwa uMesiya futhi ngeke abatshele ukuthi uMesiya uyobatshela ukuthi ngeke balunge. ukuzwa umlayezo? Ingabe sibheka izibonakaliso zezikhathi ngempela .... Ngifuna ukuxwayisa abantu bakaNkulunkulu ngoba akukhona ukuthi kumayelana noKristu nomsebenzi wakhe. Angabiza...noma yibaphi abanye abantu banoma iyiphi enye indawo emhlabeni futhi abanikeze leli qiniso futhi abathumele. Ifa lethu lingokomoya. Ifa lethu alilona elenyama. Asiwona ama-Adventist ngokuzalwa. Kungokuhlangenwe nakho. Niyazi, sidinga ukuzalwa kabusha, noma asisibo abakhe....Ingabe iNkosi...ivala izikhungo zethu ngenxa yokungalaleli kwethu? Umbuzo wami lowo. Umbuzo wami kimi, nombuzo wami webandla lami."

19. Umfundisi uCoy uyafingqa futhi: “Le vidiyo iphume emthwalweni...ukuze ivuse [abantu bakaNkulunkulu] kwezezwe...okukade kungene ebandleni lethu...[kanye] nokuthi sidinga ukuba nemvuselelo phakathi kwezigaba zethu.”

20. Umfowethu ongumvangeli wezincwadi ugcizelela ukuthi uJesu uzimelela esigijimini saseLawodikeya njenge-colporteur nesithunywa sevangeli sezokwelapha esingqongqozayo emnyango. “Ubengaqali ukungqongqoza endlini yomhlaba. Wayengqongqoza endlini yesonto...Kodwa uma umnyango uvalwe ngezinto eziningi ezinqwabelene, izinhlelo eziningi ezifezayo. Lutho, futhi ukuze ungashiyi indlu yakho ukuba uhambe Naye futhi ungqongqoze eminyango…futhi usuthi, ucebile futhi wande ngempahla futhi awusweli lutho, khona-ke uKristu uyothola umuntu emigwaqweni emikhulu nasemigwaqweni. UJesu ungqongqoza emnyango wethu. Futhi uzosedlula uma singamvumeli angene. Kodwa uma sinqoba futhi sivula umnyango, uthembisa ukungena. Futhi leyo yingelosi ezosinika inkazimulo esiyidingayo. I—hhayi inkazimulo yangaphandle, kodwa ukuguquka kwangaphakathi kwempilo.”

21. Emthandazweni wokuphetha, uMfundisi uCoy wenza enye futhi inkulumo ebaluleke kakhulu: “Nkosi, kuye kwahlaselwa ubuProthestani. Siyabona ukuthi upapa waseRoma ubize amaProthestani ukuba ahlakaze, aqede iNguquko yamaProthestani, futhi abuyele kuMama iRoma. Ngalesi sikhathi sobumnyama, Nkosi siyabona ukuthi izindlu zethu zokushicilela zivalwa ngaso leso sikhathi, ngalo kanye ihora ukuthi siwadinga kakhulu ukuze sikwazi ukusabalalisa lawo mapheshana kanye nalawo maphepha afana namaqabunga ekwindla, siyahlaselwa. Nkosi, ngithandazela ukuthi wenze le vidiyo isize ukuvusa abantu. Vusa abantu ukuthi babone ukuthi sisemahoreni okugcina ngaphambi kokuba uJesu afike…”

Manje sengingakwazi ukuthi “amen” ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami kube kanye. Laba bazalwane ababili sebebonile ukuthi kwenzekani, futhi lokhu kuwubufakazi bokuthi uMoya oNgcwele uyasebenza kubo. Kufanele unake futhi! Okokuqala izinkinga ezidlangile ebandleni zibacacela bobabili. Bayabubula futhi bakhale ngakho ngenxa yothando lwabo ngoJesu nemiphefumulo esengozini yokulahlekelwa ukuphila okuphakade. Khona-ke bobabili ngokuzumayo bagcizelela ukuthi ukuphela kuseduze. Noma ubani oseseduze kangako nokuthola ingelosi yesine uyothola ngokushesha ukuthi siseduze kangakanani nokuphela kwesikhathi kulo mhlaba. Lokhu kumele kube nesizathu umfundi ofanele azozitholela sona.

Isipelingi Esiphindwe Kathathu

Khumbula iphuzu elibalulekile ephusheni lika-Ellen G. White, lapho i-General Conference iguqulwa yaba udwendwe lwamaKhatholika phambi kwamehlo akhe…

Inkampani manje yethule ukubukeka kwe- Udwendwe lwamaKhatholika. Omunye wayephethe isiphambano esandleni sakhe, omunye umhlanga. Futhi njengoba besondela. ophethe umhlanga wazungeza indlu, ethi kathathu: “Le ndlu zivinjelwe. Izimpahla kumele zithathwe. Bakhulume ngokumelene nesimiso sethu esingcwele. {1t577.2}

Isipelingi esaphonswa phezu kwendlu ka-Ellen G. White sashiwo kathathu. Lokhu kuyakhombisa amazinga amathathu lokuhlasela ubufakazi bomprofethikazi. Sesivele sazi ezimbili zazo: ukuhlasela Impikiswano Enkulu nokumiswa kokunyatheliswa kwezincwadi zakhe. Yini enye engase ihlelwe?

1. A I-New Bible Commentary, ehlelwe umJesuit okuthiwa u-Ángel Manuel Rodriguez

As Impikiswano Enkulu yehliswa ngendlela engenakuqashelwa, ngakho kwenzeka emsebenzini wethu onemiqulu eyisikhombisa noma eyisishiyagalombili, ovame ukuba usizo kakhulu futhi obonakala ungashintshile kusukela ngeminyaka yamashumi amahlanu. “Ngesazi” esiphambili u-Ángel Manuel Rodriguez njengomhleli “weqembu lamazwe ngamazwe lezazi zama-Adventist,” benze u-Azazel umlimi wengadi! (Cabanga ukuthi bekungenzekani uma ukhulula imbuzi engadini yakho.) Njengomongameli we-BRI osenesikhathi eside, umsebenzi wakhe uye wakhiqiza izithelo zamaJesuit kuphela kanye nokwenqaba okuphelele kwesigijimi se-Orion. Ukuphawula okusha kuzoba kuphela a single ivolumu, okukhombisa ukuthi kungakanani abazophinda bakususe ukuze benze imfundiso yethu yenkolo ihambisane nomnyakazo wobukholwa.

Isikhathi sikhuluma okuningi, noma kunjalo. Bamemezela le ncazelo entsha yeBhayibheli ngo-April 24, 2013, ezinsukwini ezintathu ngaphambi kokuba i-gamma-ray iqhume Isibonakaliso sikaJona okweBandla elihlubukayo (kanye nokuqala kwezintathu zokugcina ze Umkhumbi Wesikhathi). Kubekwe isikhathi ngokuhambisana ngokuphelele ne- uhlelo lweVatican. Ngobusuku balolo suku, saba neSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa esingcwele sePhasika langempela lika-2013, ngenkathi ibandla le-SDA lethula lolu hlelo olusha lukaSathane. Izoqala ukuthela izithelo phakathi Julayi kaJulayi 2015 ngesikhathi seSeshini yeNgqungquthela Jikelele e-San Antonio, ngemva kokushicilelwa kwento. Usuku lokuvela kwayo kuSeshini Yenkomfa Jikelele (Julayi 2-11, 2015) iqondana ngokuphelele nokuqala kwecilongo lesithupha kanye nokukhululwa kwemimoya emine (Julayi 8, 2015). Kunjalo, ngeke kusaba khona umqulu 7-A, owawufingqa konke okwashiwo u-Ellen G. White ngeBhayibheli. Ifa lika-Ellen G. White lizoba wathuka okwesithathu.

2. The "ukudalula" yayo yonke imibhalo ka-Ellen G. White

Lokho abaningi abangase bakucabange kuyisibusiso nakho kungase kubangele, ikakhulukazi uma umthwalo wemfanelo ubekwe ezandleni ezingafanele. Ama-Adventist amaningi angahle angazi nokuthi ingxenye ebalulekile yemibhalo kaMoya Wesiprofetho ilawulwa yi- Ellen G. White Estate futhi ayizange yenziwe itholakale esidlangalaleni. Abaziyo kudala befuna isizindalwazi somphakathi kuzwakale. Bafuna ukubona lezi zincwadi kuyi-Internet. Imayelana nokuskenwa kwemibhalo yesandla yemibhalo eshicilelwe kanye nemibhalo yesandla eminingi engakaze ishicilelwe.

Kunzima kimina ukuthola i-engeli efanele lapha ngaphandle kokubeka uMoya Wesiprofetho, lowo ngokungangabazeki u-Ellen G. White ayenawo, ekukhanyeni okungalungile. Ngima 100% ngemuva kwalokho u-Ellen G. White akusho! Kodwa ngezincazelo eziyiphutha zabafowethu nodadewethu kanye nezinkulumo zabo ezingenasisekelo eziphikisana nokubeka isikhathi (bona Izwi Leseluleko), siyazi ukuthi imibhalo yakhe ingasetshenziswa ngokumelene ukukhanya kwengilosi yesine. Imibhalo yakhe ivame ukusetshenziswa ngokumelene iqiniso nakwezinye izindawo. Bamenza asho izinto abengaqondile, ngoba ziklebhula imibhalo yakhe ngaphandle kwengqikithi. Ngemva kokubhala futhi washicilela amakhasi angaphezu kwe-100,000 empilweni yakhe, kuyisimangaliso ngokwako ukuthi kukhona ukuphikisana okumbalwa okubonakalayo kuyo. Kodwa nalokho kunikeza ifolishi eyanele amakhulukhulu amawebhusayithi aphikisana no-Ellen G. White.

Abaphathi be-Ellen G. White Estate ngokuqinisekile babazi phakathi neminyaka eyi-100 ngemva kokufa komprofethikazi, ukuthi kungani imibhalo ethile kungafanele yenziwe itholakale emphakathini. Isibonelo, kunamakhulu okuthunyelwe esithangamini sethu sokufunda, lapho sixoxisane ngokugcwaliseka okungenzeka kwesiphrofetho sesikhathi namalungu ethu futhi sazama ukuthola ukuthi icebo likaNkulunkulu lihlanganisa yini imigqa yesikhathi eyengeziwe. Leyo iseshini yokuxoxisana “engakhuthazwa” ngempela. Nakuba sikholelwa ukuthi izincwadi zethu ezishicilelwe ziphefumulelwe uNkulunkulu, izihloko zethu eziningi zenkundla azinawo futhi ziqukethe amaphutha aziwayo, okuyinto evamile ngokuphelele. Sishiya lezo zihloko ukuze sibhale ngokuseshwa kwethu iqiniso ngokwethembeka, okuvuleleke ekuhlolweni kwamalungu enkundla yethu anezisusa ezinhle. Inqubo yokuthola iqiniso iyisicefe futhi inzima. Kukhona ngisho nemibhalo yesandla nemibhalo ebhalwe kimina engakashicilelwa ngoba ngabona ukuthi ngibhale ngokuhlupheka okwadalwa yibandla umphefumulo wami, kunokugcwalisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuxwayisa ibandla.

Kodwa uma izitha zethu bezingabona futhi ziveze obala izinto ezinjalo, khona-ke ukwethula kwazo okunonya kocwaningo olunenhloso enhle noma izincwadi eziyimfihlo kungadala umonakalo omkhulu. Ukungagwegwesi: ngokwami, angicabangi ukuthi ibandla elihlubukayo linecebo laphezulu elithembekile nelinenhloso enhle ngemuva kokukhululwa kungazelelwe kwayo yonke imibhalo ka-Ellen G. White. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngisola ukuthi bafuna ukuphakela abamelene ne-Adventism ngezinto ezengeziwe. Ngicabanga ukuthi umphumela wangempela wokudalulwa kwayo yonke imibhalo ka-Ellen G. White uzofana ncamashí neNgqungquthela Jikelele emelwe ngoTed Wilson mayelana nenzuzo enkulu ye-Adventism okungaba ukusabalalisa izigidi zamakhophi Impikiswano Enkulu ngesikhathi sokubusa kwakhe: kwagcina engqungqutheleni yokusatshalaliswa kwepheshana Ithemba Elikhulu. Ekugcineni bafuna ukubamba uMoya Wesiprofetho ukuze bahlekwe. Ama-Adventist amaningi asathembekile angathemba amazwi amahle kakhulu noma acacile omprofethikazi, kodwa lokho ngeke kugcwaliseke ngeNgqungquthela Jikelele elingana nodwendwe lwamaJesuit. UNkulunkulu ngokuqinisekile wayezokwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi imibhalo eminingi yoMoya Wesiprofetho yayishicilelwe eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule uma lokho bekuyisu Lakhe.

Nalapha futhi, isikhathi Kuyathakazelisa kakhulu! Kuwuhlelo oluyinkimbinkimbi lwezigaba eziningi, olwamenyezelwa yi-White Estate ngesikhathi mhla ziyi-10 kuJuni, 2013. Besilungiselela iSabatha Eliphakeme LePhentekoste lamhla ziyi-15 kuJuni, 2013. Isiphepho kwagqashuka ngenxa yethu, ummeleli weSonto Lama-Adventist, futhi kwasiphula isihlahla esikhulu njengophawu lomkhiwane ogawuliwe kaLuka 13. Manje sesisondela emgubhweni waleso senzakalo! (Funda umfanekiso!)

Ekwindla ka-2014 (ekuqaleni kwecilongo lesithathu) kuzokwethulwa iwebhusayithi ezinikele ukuze ishicilelwe. Ukunikezelwa kwesikhungo esisha sezivakashi sihlelelwe i-General Conference Session ngoJulayi 2015, kanye nokuvela kwencwadi entsha yonyaka ekhuluma ngo-Ellen G. White kanye neminye imisebenzi emincane.

Ukudalulwa kwangempela ngeke kwenzeke kuze kube u-July 16, 2015 futhi kuzobandakanya izinyathelo ezimbalwa kuze kube u-November 26, 2015. Ngakho konke “ukudalulwa” kuyothatha isikhathi esiyizinyanga ezintathu ngaphambi kwesikhathi sezinhlupho (ngo-October 25, 2015) futhi kuzophela phakathi nezinhlupho. Leso sikhathi esibekiwe asizange sikhethwe ngokunganaki. AmaJesuit azi kahle ngoMlayezo we-Orion kanye Nomkhumbi Wesikhathi, futhi ayalwazi usuku oluqondile lapho abangu-144,000 okumelwe babekwe uphawu. Yingakho beyoqala lokho kuhlasela okukhulu kokugcina ngaleso sikhathi. Kulesi sihloko kuzodingeka futhi sicabangisise ngokuthi kunini lapho abangu-144,000 XNUMX badinga ukubekwa uphawu ngempela.

Kodwa-ke, lokho akwanele ku-spell kathathu...

I-Adventist Review yabika umcimbi omangalisayo ngoMeyi 20, 2014, onesihloko Umhlangano Ongakaze Ubonwe Uhlola Isakhiwo Sesonto Sezithunywa Zevangeli. “Umhlangano oyingqopha-mlando wabaholi bokuphatha beSonto Lama-Adventist eNyakatho Melika” waba ngo-May 13-15 eWashington “ukuze uxoxe ngekusasa lesonto nesakhiwo salo, inhlangano nomsebenzi walo.”

Iziqinisekiso zabo zicishe zazwakala ziyihlaya lapho u-95% wabaholi bokuphatha bememezela-lapho bebuzwa-ukuthi bangavuma ukushiya amahhovisi abo uma bezosebenza kumishini yeBandla. (Akekho lapho okholelwa ngempela ukuthi kungadingeka. Sebevele besesikebheni saseRoma.)

UDan Jackson wabe esenikeza udumo ngokushesha kulezo “zithunywa ezimesaba uNkulunkulu” ngala mazwi: “Lo moya wokuzidela ubonisa isifiso sangempela sokuhlola ngokwethembeka izinhlelo zethu zamanje zokulethwa kwenhlangano nezithunywa zevangeli nokuthi zidinga ukulungiswa kanjani ukuze zenze iBandla lama-Adventist lisebenze kakhudlwana emiphakathini yethu ekhulwini lama-21.”

Ingabe unombono wokuthi lokhu kumayelana nani okwamanje?

I-NAD ehlubukile ngokuphelele ifuna indlela yokuhlanganisa kangcono nokunyakaza kwamabandla! Ngaleyo njongo, izinto ezibalulekile a uhlelo olunezingxenye ezintathu manje zethulwe, ukuthi zifundwe futhi kubikwe ngazo eMhlanganweni Wokuphela Konyaka we-NAD ngo-2014.

Umbuthano owenziwe ngomhlanga wawubizwa ngokuthi "Ukubumba I-NAD Yakusasa" futhi ukupela okuphindwe kathathu kwaba kanje:

1. “Thuthukisa a isu lokubeka uphawu ye-Adventism eboshelwe ku umuzwa ocacile wobuntu bethu, ukunika amalungu amandla ukuzihlanganisa nomphakathi wezwe kuhlanganise nokuvula amasonto ethu amahora amaningi ukuba itholakale emiphakathini yendawo;”

Kusho ukuthini lokho? Ingabe i-Adventism yayingekho kakade? Ingabe sinamahloni ngobuthina bethu, ukudinga obusha? Kusho ukuthini ukuzihlanganisa nomphakathi wezwe? Sesiphenduke osopolitiki namakhansela edolobha, futhi siyanikela ngamahholo ethu emihlangano emaqenjini ezombusazwe, ukuze azosiphatha kahle emthethweni wangeSonto? Ngizwa ubuhlungu besisu ngibhala ngakho! Umuntu akakukholwa nje okushiwo lapho!

2. “Yenza izincomo ezicacisa izindlela abaphathi nezinkonzo zebandla abangazenza lula ukusebenza futhi uqede ukuphindaphinda lapho kungenasidingo kuwo wonke amazinga;

Lokhu kusho ukulawula okuphelele phansi kulungu ngalinye kulokho okungenziwa yilowo nalowo ensimini yakhe yemishini. Akukho ukuzisukumela okuyoke kuvunyelwe ngaphandle kokuqondisa okuqondile kobuholi bebandla. Ngaphambi kokuba unikeze umakhelwane wakho isifundo seBhayibheli, uzodinga kuqala ukuthi ulethe ifomu esontweni langakini, lapho lizocutshungulwa kuze kufike ebuholini be-NAD ukuze kubonakale ukuthi inhloso yakho ibingeke yini ifezeke kalula ngevidiyo ecutshungulwe ngokwebandla ekhiqizwe yiBandla. Ngemva konyaka, uzothola ividiyo ozoyinikeza umakhelwane wakho osevele ehlushwa isilonda senhlupho yokuqala. Umbuso waseRoma awumi!

3. “Nikeza ikhomishana emele inselelo yokuhlola okungenani izimo ezintathu ze- ukwabiwa kabusha kokuxhaswa ngezimali kumalungu ukuze kuthuthukiswe umsebenzi webandla.”

Manje futhi baphanga okweshumi neminikelo evela kuNkulunkulu futhi bakhuluma ngokwabiwa kabusha kwezimali. Akukho zwi ngo-Ellen G. White nokuthi uzothini. Yebo futhi imayelana nokuvukela obala ngokumelene neNgqungquthela Jikelele, ezithatha “njengenqolobane yemali kaNkulunkulu” kuphela. Nalokho akulungile. Ungabona ukuhlukana kwangaphakathi ebandleni. Uma kukhulunywa ngemali, nakanjani bazohlomisa amabhomu abo e-athomu ngoba uTed Wilson akazi intethelelo noma isihawu ngalolo daba, ngisho nokuzenzisa. Mhlawumbe, mhlawumbe, othile uzothola umbono wokuthi ubani ngempela ofanele ukwamukela okweshumi neminikelo, futhi ngubani onegunya Izwi likaNkulunkulu kulezi zinsuku zokugcina. Ngaze ngahlanganisa idokhumenti yangaphandle ngendaba yokweshumi neminikelo, njengoba isihloko singaphezu kobubanzi balesi sihloko.

Lapho u-Ellen G. White ebona emaphusheni akhe konke lokhu kuhlupheka nokukhashelwa kwalo lonke ifa lethu lama-Adventist kanye nobunikazi bethu njengabantu bakaNkulunkulu, ukusabela kwakhe kuqondakala kahle kakhulu:

I wakhala futhi ngathandaza kakhulu ngibona izimpahla zethu zithathwa. Ngazama ukufunda ukuzwelana noma ukungihawukela ekubukeni kwalabo ababengizungezile, futhi ngaphawula ubuso babaningana engangicabanga ukuthi bazokhuluma nami futhi bangiduduze uma bengesabi ukuthi bazobonwa ngabanye. Ngenza umzamo owodwa wokuphuma esixukwini, kodwa lapho ngibona ukuthi ngibhekiwe, ngazifihla izinhloso zami. ngaqala ekhala kakhulu, ethi: Ukube bebengangitshela nje engikwenzile noma engikushilo! Umyeni wami, owayelele embhedeni ekamelweni elilodwa, wangizwa ngikhala kakhulu wangivusa. Umcamelo wami kwakungu ngimanzi te izinyembezi, nokudangala okudabukisayo kwase kuphezu kwami. {1t578.1}

Umbuzo omkhulu wonke ama-Adventist aqotho nakhalayo anawo uthi: Ingabe uNkulunkulu uzokubuka konke lokhu ngokungajeziswa isikhathi eside engenzanga lutho ukuhlanza ibandla laKhe? Futhi ubani ozoma lapho lokhu kuhlanzwa kuqala, okuvame ukwaziwa ngokuthi ukuzamazama ku-Adventism. Kunoma yikuphi, u-Ellen G. White aphefumulele phezulu akhale mayelana nesimo esibi asibona ebandleni ezinsukwini zokugcina. Lokhu kusikhumbuza okuwukuphela kweqembu labantu esiprofethweni sikaHezekeli esahlukweni 9 abathola isibonakaliso ebunzini, futhi ngaleyo ndlela baphunyuke esibhicongweni esikhulu:

UJehova wathi kuye: “Dabula phakathi komuzi, phakathi kweJerusalema, ubeke uphawu emabunzini abantu bubula futhi lokho kukhala kuzo zonke izinengiso ezenziwa phakathi kwawo. (Hezekeli 9: 4)

Amadoda aphethe izikhali

Ake siqale ekuqaleni... Umbono kaHezekeli, esizowucabangela manje, uqala esahlukweni 8 ngokubonakala kwendoda echazwa kanje:

Ngase ngibona, bheka, kwakunjengokubonakala komlilo; kusukela okhalweni lwakhe kuya phezulu, njengokubonakala kokukhazimula, njengombala wegolide; ( Hezekeli 8:2 )

I-Bible Commentary yethu (endala) ibika ukuthi uHezekeli wanikwa omunye umqondo lapha, okusho ukuthi akukho okungaphansi kokuthi uJesu uqobo wavela lapha. Nguye OseZiquntathu ZobuNkulunkulu obonakala ngesimo Sakhe sobuntu. Thatha nezinye izincazelo ezifanayo kaKristu futhi, ngomlilo nenhlaka (isb. IsAmbulo 1:14).

Phakathi nesahluko 8, uJehova ubonisa umprofethi wakhe uHezekeli izinengiso ezesabekayo ezenziwa eJerusalema nasethempelini Lakhe.

Welula okunjengesandla, wangibamba ngesihluthu sekhanda lami; umoya wangiphakamisa phakathi komhlaba nezulu, wangiyisa emibonweni kaNkulunkulu kuya Jerusalema, emnyango wesango elingaphakathi elibheke enyakatho; sasikuphi isihlalo sika umfanekiso womhawu, ovusa umona. (Hezekeli 8: 3)

Ngaleyondlela umprofethi usondela eduze nendawo engcwele yeNkosi. Kulesi sahluko sizozibonela ukwanda kwentukuthelo ebandleni likaNkulunkulu, njengoba sesishilo ezihlokweni eziningi kakade futhi saphinda kulesi.

Isiphetho sokuhlubuka nezinengiso sichazwa ngokufinyelela emnyango wethempeli kanje:

Wangingenisa egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova, bheka, ngasemnyango wethempeli likaJehova phakathi kompheme ne-altare, kwakukhona. amadoda angaba amashumi amabili nanhlanu. befulathele ithempeli likaJehova, ubuso babo bubheke empumalanga; bakhuleka elangeni ngasempumalanga. Wayesethi kimi: “Uyakubona lokhu, ndodana yomuntu? Kuyinto elula yini kuyo indlu yakwaJuda ukuthi yenze izinengiso ezizenzayo lapha na? + ngoba bagcwalise izwe ngobudlova, + futhi babuyile ukuze bangicunule, + bheka, babeka igatsha emakhaleni abo. Ngalokho nami ngiyakwenza ngokufutheka; iso lami aliyikuhawukela, angiyikuba nesihawu; noma bekhala ezindlebeni zami ngezwi elikhulu, nokho angiyikubezwa. (UHezekeli 8: 16-18)

Akujabulisi yini ukuthi kusukela ngo-1901 kube khona cishe amashumi amabili nanhlanu amadoda ahlanganisa iKomidi eliPhezulu leNgqungquthela Jikelele, ngubani ngempela onezwi kanye nomongameli?

IKomidi Eliphethe lale Ngqungquthela ye-SDA liyoba ngamashumi amabili nanhlanu ngenani… (1901 General Conference Bulletin, ikhasi 379, isiqephu sesi-4, isigaba 1, ikholomu 1, isigaba 2)

Abaningi bangase baphikise ukuthi iKomidi Eliphethe manje selinamalungu angaba ngu-300 - 400, kodwa empeleni kunelinye iqembu elincane elibusayo, futhi liqukethe kuphela mayelana amalungu angamashumi amabili nanhlanu yendingiliza yangaphakathi yabakhulekeli belanga abangamaJesuit ngokugcwele, njengoba ncamashi umbhalo weBhayibheli uthi “mayelana”:

“Lapha ku-General Conference, ikomidi eliphezulu elithatha izinqumo, vele, yi-General Conference Committee [Ikomidi eliphezulu]. Kunekomiti esilibiza ngokuthi 'General Conference Officers' elakhiwe ngalo cishe abantu abangamashumi amabili nanhlanu noma amashumi amabili nesithupha- umongameli, onobhala, kanye nomgcinimafa, nabanye abambalwa abamenyiwe. Leli komiti liyikomiti elihlungayo elinquma izinto okufanele ziye kuGeneral Conference Committee.” Incwadi evela eHhovisi likaMongameli weNkomfa Jikelele yamaSeventh-day Adventist, BE Jacobs--Umsizi Wokuphatha kuMongameli, Novemba 1, 1990.

Ngisho ne-Bible Commentary yethu endala ithola incazelo yomlando noma yakudala kubantu abangu-25, ngakho-ke kufanele sicabange ukuthi u-Ellen G. White wayeqinisile futhi lapho ethi abaprofethi baprofetha kancane ngesikhathi sabo kunezethu {CTr 357.2}. Ngakho-ke, njengoba sihamba noHezekeli eSahlukweni 8 sisuka ezindongeni zedolobha laseJerusalema/eRoma lapho isinengiso sika “Jesuit Pope Francis” selokhu samiswa kusukela ekukhethweni kwakhe ngoMashi 13, 2013, edlula ubuProthestani obuhlubukayo nabangama-70 uKenneth Copelands eshisa impepho ngomlilo ongaziwa kanye nezilwane ezihuquzelayo ezikhulekelayo, ezifika esangweni lethempeli noma ezidlula egcekeni lethempeli labesifazane abakhonza ethempelini laseTamuzdaidi. yeNeo-Adventism ekungeneni kwesango, iza egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu yeNkosi kanye namambuka ayo cishe angamashumi amabili nanhlanu e-Adventism emnyango wethempeli, ngakho ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luyothululelwa ngakolunye uhlangothi—kusuka ngaphakathi nangaphandle—phezu kwawo wonke amaKristu ayizihlubuki nazanelisayo.

Ngoba isikhathi sesifikile leso ukwahlulela kufanele kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu: uma kuqala kithi, kuyakuba yini ukuphela kwabangalaleli ivangeli likaNkulunkulu na? (Funda eyoku-1 Petru 4:17.)

Abaholi nabashumayeli be-Adventism yanamuhla bayayigwema indaba kaHezekeli 9. Ngakho-ke kuyiqiniso elincane elaziwa ebandleni ukuthi u-Ellen G. White usebenzisa lesi sahluko ngqo ebandleni. Uphrofetha ngaphandle kwemibandela ukuthi ingxenye yebandla ehlubukile “engabubuli futhi engakhali” izohlupheka ngendlela amazwi asabekayo kaNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe aye akusabisa ngayo...

Abami emlulekweni kaNkulunkulu ngalesi sikhathi? Ngabe yilabo abavele bathethelele okubi phakathi kwabathi bangabantu bakaNkulunkulu, ababubula ezinhliziyweni zabo, uma kungenjalo obala, ngalabo abasola isono na? Ngabe yilabo abamelana nabo futhi bazwelane nabenza okubi? Cha, ngempela! Ngaphandle uma bephenduka, futhi bashiye umsebenzi kaSathane ekucindezeleni labo abanomthwalo womsebenzi [Who has this responsibility today?] nasekuphakamiseni izandla zezoni eSiyoni, abasoze baluthola uphawu lokuvunyelwa uNkulunkulu okubekwa uphawu. Bayakuwa ekubhujisweni kwababi; emelelwa umsebenzi we ezinhlanu amadoda aphethe izikhali zokuhlaba. Maka leli phuzu ngokucophelela: Labo abamukela uphawu olumsulwa lweqiniso, olwenziwa kubo ngo amandla kaMoya oNgcwele, emelelwa wuphawu yindoda yelineni, yilabo “ababubulayo nabakhala ngazo zonke izinengiso ezenziwayo” ebandleni. Uthando lwabo ngobumsulwa nodumo nenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu lunjalo, futhi banalo umbono ocacile wokona okwedlulele kwesono, kangangokuthi bavezwa njengabasosizini, ngisho nokububula nokukhala. Funda isahluko sesishiyagalolunye sikaHezekeli.

Kodwa ukubulawa okuvamile kwabo bonke labo abangawuboni kanjalo umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwesono nokulunga, futhi abangazizwa njengalabo abami eseluleko sikaNkulunkulu futhi bemukela uphawu, kuchazwa ngokulandelana amadoda amahlanu ephethe izikhali zokuhlaba; “Hambani nimlandele phakathi komuzi, nibulale, iso lenu malingahawukeli, ningabi nazwelo; futhi niqale endlini yami engcwele.” {3T 267.1–2}

Bese ukhumbula:

1. Umbhalo uyasebenza esikhathini sethu nasebandleni leSDA.

2. U-Ellen G. White ukwenza kucace ukuthi unguMoya oNgcwele onikeza uphawu oluyisivikelo kulabo ababona isono sinjalo futhi babubule futhi bakhale ngaso.

3. Wethula umbhalo ongacacile kuHezekeli 9:2 ngokucacile futhi usitshela ukuthi kumadoda ayisithupha okukhulunywa ngawo lapho, kuphela. abahlanu empeleni baphethe isikhali sokuhlaba futhi owokuqala nguMoya oNgcwele.

Kudingeka sibheke iphuzu lokugcina kakhudlwana. Okokuqala ake sifunde leli vesi:

Wamemeza ezindlebeni zami ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Sondelani abaphethe umuzi, kube yilowo nalowo ephethe isikhali sakhe sokubhubhisa esandleni sakhe. Futhi, bheka, amadoda ayisithupha aqhamuka endleleni lesango eliphezulu elibheke enyakatho, yilowo nalowo unezikhali zokuhlaba esandleni sakhe; kwakukhona indoda ethile phakathi kwabo yembethe ilineni, inophondo lukayinki wombhali ohlangothini lwayo. bangena, bema ngase-altare lethusi. ( Hezekeli 9:1-2 )

“Amadoda ayisithupha, yilowo nalowo unesikhali sokubulala esandleni sakhe.” Lokho kwakuyoba amasosha kaNkulunkulu ayisithupha ayezobulala. Kodwa kwakukhona “indoda eyodwa phakathi kwabo” ehambisana nencazelo yokubekwa uphawu koMoya oNgcwele. Ingabe ungomunye wabayisithupha, noma ungowesikhombisa phakathi kwayisithupha? I-Bible Commentary yethu engeke ibe khona maduze ithi:

Indoda eyodwa phakathi kwabo. Le ndoda yayingomunye wabayisithupha ababephethe izikhali zokuhlaba, hhayi owesikhombisa, njengoba abanye abahumushi besho (bona 3T 266, 267). ‘Wayembethe ilineni,’ ingubo evamile yabapristi, futhi ingubo ekhethekile yompristi omkhulu emikhosini yoSuku olukhulu Lokubuyisana (Lev. 16). {SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 4; bheka kuHezekeli 9:2}

Uyaqonda ukuthi kungani ukuphawula kwethu kweBhayibheli kumele kunyamalale? Umhlaziyi ubhekisela emibhalweni engenhla ka-Ellen G. White, owabona embonweni ukuthi cishe amadoda amahlanu kuphela aphethe izikhali zokuhlaba. Imfundiso yendlu engcwele iyacatshangelwa, futhi izigcawu esizibonisiwe kufanele zenzeke ngesikhathi sokwahlulela kophenyo ngoSuku Lokubuyisana kusukela ngo-1844. Yebo awukwazi ukukugcina lokhu ebandleni elinobungane benkolo; konke kufanele kusulwe kuphele! Ngaphansi kokugxekwa okuphakeme kweBhayibheli, ayikho imfundiso yendlu engcwele, akukho kuphinda kusetshenziswe imibhalo emidala yesiprofetho esikhathini sethu, futhi ngokuqinisekile akekho u-Ellen G. White!

Nokho, lena iyona ndlela kuphela yokuxazulula imfihlakalo kaHezekeli 9, esilandela imikhondo yayo kancane kancane. Lesi siprofetho sisinika inzuzo ephakeme kakhulu. Imfihlakalo empeleni ilele emfanekisweni oyinqaba wamadoda ayisithupha, obonakala ehluke kakhulu emifanekisweni ye-apocalyptic yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa, amacilongo ayisikhombisa nezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa. Ngiyasola ukuthi abahumushi abaningi baye bafinyelela embonweni othile lapho beqhathanisa uHezekeli 9 namacilongo ayisikhombisa, nawo aprofetha izahlulelo zesijeziso (ngomusa).

Ngomusa? Yebo, masifunde...

Kwathi besawabulala, mina ngisele, ngawa ngobuso, ngakhala ngathi: “Awu, Nkosi Jehova! Uyakuchitha yonke insali yakwa-Israyeli ekuthululeni kwakho ukufutheka kwakho phezu kweJerusalema na? Wayesethi kimi: “Ububi bendlu yakwa-Israyeli noJuda bukhulu kakhulu, izwe ligcwele igazi, nomuzi ugcwele ukuhlaneka, ngokuba bathi: ‘UJehova uwushiyile umhlaba, uJehova akaboni. Nami-ke, iso lami aliyikubahawukela, angiyikuba nesihawu, kepha ngiyakwehlisela indlela yabo phezu kwamakhanda abo. Bheka, indoda eyembethe ilineni, inophondo lukayinki ethangeni layo, yabika indaba, yathi: “Ngenzile njengokungiyala kwakho. (UHezekeli 9: 8-11)

Kufanele uhlole umbhalo ngokucophelela ukuze ubone iqiniso. Nakuba iNkosi ithi iso layo aliyikuhawukela futhi ngeke libe nesihawu, uMoya oNgcwele, engutsheni yelineni yompristi omkhulu njengommeleli kaJesu, ubonisa ngokucacile ukuthi isikhathi somusa asikapheli lapho kuziwa ekuhlanzweni kwebandla. Esikhundleni sokukhuluma ngezinhlupho, cishe cishe cishe ngaphambi kokuvalwa komnyango wesihe. Sikwazi njengesikhathi semvula yamuva, noma isikhathi esincane sosizi. Kuze kube ivesi lokugcina lesahluko 9 lapho uMoya oNgcwele unikeza umbiko wokuthi ukubekwa uphawu sekufeziwe. Uma nje kusekhona ukubekwa uphawu, umusa usekhona. Ngesikhathi sezinhlupho, akekho oyophinde abekwe uphawu, futhi uJesu ngeke agqoke izingubo zobupristi abakhulu futhi, kodwa kunalokho uzogqoka izingubo zobukhosi.

Manje ngifuna ukukucela ukuba ucabange ngokuzimela mayelana nendlela yokuhlanganisa amadoda ayisithupha kaHezekeli 9—uMoya oNgcwele namadoda amahlanu aphethe izikhali zokuhlaba—namacilongo ayisikhombisa esAmbulo. Ingabe kunzima? Amalungu esithangami sethu adinga isikhathi eside ukuyibona...

Ake siphinde sibheke umbhalo weBhayibheli, futhi sinake ukulandelana okuqondile kwezenzo zala madoda ayisithupha:

Futhi uJehova wathi kuye: [uMoya oNgcwele] Dabula phakathi komuzi, phakathi kweJerusalema, ubeke uphawu emabunzini abantu ababubulayo nabakhalayo ngazo zonke izinengiso ezenziwa phakathi kwalo. Nakwabanye [ezinhlanu nezikhali zokuhlaba] wathi ezindlebeni zami: Hambani emva kwakhe emzini, nishaye, iso lenu malingahawukeli, ningahawukeli (Hezekeli 9:4-5).

Uma singabela la madoda ayisithupha ukuba ashaye amacilongo, kwakuyoba namacilongo ayisithupha kuphela. Futhi leyo imfihlakalo kaHezekeli! Singakuxazulula kanjani lokhu?

Icilongo lokuqala kufanele kube isenzo sikaMoya oNgcwele, omele umsebenzi wokubeka uphawu kuze kube sekupheleni kweSahluko 9, uthatha amavesi ngokulandelana kwawo. Ngemva kwakhe, noma lapho eqhubeka, amadoda amahlanu amlandela ephethe izikhali zawo zokuhlaba. Kufanele banikezwe amacilongo esibili kuya kwelesithupha. Pho ngubani obuya ngecilongo lesikhombisa? Kulungile, umbuthano uphelele! UMoya oNgcwele uyafika futhi futhi unikeze umbiko wokuhambisana...

Bheka, indoda eyembethe ilineni, inophondo lukayinki ethangeni layo, yabika indaba, yathi: Ngenzile njengokungiyala kwakho. (Hezekeli 9: 11)

UHezekeli 9 empeleni uyisihluthulelo sokuqonda ukuthi amacilongo asebenza kanjani, nokuthi ahlanganiswe elinye kwelinye ngokwezinga elithile. Icilongo lokuqala lihamba kuwo wonke umjikelezo wamacilongo (okungenani kuze kudedelwe imimoya emine), futhi njengoba abanye belandela, nabo bayadlula kuze kube yilapho umbiko wempumelelo kaMoya oNgcwele uqeda umjikelezo ngecilongo lesikhombisa. Umbhalo kaHezekeli 9:11 uhambisana ne-a carillon ezulwini:

Futhi ingelosi yesikhombisa yayisibetha; kwase kuba khona amazwi amakhulu ezulwini, athi: Imibuso yaleli zwe isibe imibuso yeNkosi yethu nekaKristu wayo; futhi iyakubusa kuze kube phakade naphakade. Amalunga angamashumi amabili nane ahlezi phambi kukaNkulunkulu ezihlalweni zawo zobukhosi, awa ngobuso, akhuleka kuNkulunkulu, ethi: “Siyakubonga, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, Mninimandla onke, okhona nowayekhona nozayo; ngoba uzithathele amandla akho amakhulu, wabusa. ( IsAmbulo 11:15-17 )

Lapho abangu-144,000 sebebekwe uphawu bonke nabafel’ ukholo sebebufezile ubufakazi babo, khona-ke uBaba uyobe eselinqobile icala. UKristu angagqoka izingubo zobukhosi futhi izinhlupho zingawa.

Izizwe zathukuthela, futhi ulaka lwakho uyeza... (IsAmbulo 11:18)

Bheka futhi ngokucophelela umjikelezo wecilongo:

(Leli shadi lingaba ilandwe endaweni yokulanda ngokulungiswa okuphezulu kwensiza yokufundisa.)

Imfihlakalo kaHezekeli 9, ukuthi amadoda ayisithupha angavunyelaniswa kanjani namacilongo ayisikhombisa, ingaxazululwa kuphela ngokujikeleza kwewashi—iwashi le-Orion-ngoba uMoya oNgcwele uvela kabili (icilongo lokuqala nelesikhombisa) njengengelosi (inkanyezi) njengomgibeli wehhashi elimhlophe (ukuhlanzeka kwevangeli).

Akukho okunye ukunyakaza kulo mhlaba okungakhomba ngokufanelekile izingxenye zenkinga kaHezekeli 9 noma ngisho nokuqala ukuyixazulula ngendlela efanele. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, sinikeze ubufakazi bokuqala beBhayibheli benkolelo-mbono evame ukuphakanyiswa kodwa engakaze ifakazelwe yokuthi izingelosi ezinamacilongo ngayinye zikhala i-alamu ngesikhathi esithile, kodwa futhi ziqhubeke kuze kube sekupheleni komjikelezo wecilongo ngokwawo. Ababona amacilongo ehlangene phakathi kwabo babeqinisile. Babentula izikhathi kuphela (izinsuku zosuku). Manje ungamane uzifunde!

Ukudedelwa Kwemimoya Emine

Uyaqonda manje ukuthi kungani kungenzeki lutho “olujabulisayo” ngecilongo lokuqala? Kwakuyisikhathi sikaMoya oNgcwele, owahamba yedwa ngaphambili esikhathini esiwumnyombo secilongo lokuqala, elaqala ngokwehla kwakhe njengengelosi yesine ngoJanuwari 31 kuya kuFebhuwari 1 walo nyaka. Wahamba phambi kwamadoda aphethe izikhali njengomgibeli wehhashi elimhlophe futhi washaya icilongo lokuqala lomusa. Nguye owavimbela intaba-mlilo enkulu yaseYellowstone National Park ukuba ibhubhise ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yaseNyakatho Melika, futhi uyena owavimbela inkinga yaseCrimea ukuba ibulale izinkulungwane zabantu.

Kodwa kuthiwani ngamanye amacilongo? Kuyoqala nini ukwahlulelwa kwebandla elihlubukayo? Indoda yesibili isivele isiphethe isikhali sokuhlaba. Ngoba ukwahlulela kuqala endlini kaNkulunkulu kanye nabadala ethempelini, kufanele kwenzeke okuthile phakathi nesikhathi esiwumnyombo secilongo lesibili ukuze kugcwaliseke lesi siprofetho. Sikholelwa ukuthi izikhungo eziningi zama-Adventist maduze zizokwahlulelwa ngomlilo ongacimeki ovela kuNkulunkulu njenge-sanitarium e-Battle Creek kanye ne-Review and Herald ngo-1902. Sikholelwa futhi ukuthi kufanele kuqale ngesakhiwo sekomkhulu leNgqungquthela Jikelele eSilver Spring, MD, njengoba umbhalo weBhayibheli ukhuluma ngamadoda amakhulu endlu kaNkulunkulu, okukhulunywa ngawo kuqala.

Nokho, siyazi ukuthi usazoba khona umusa ngoba isikhathi sokubekwa uphawu sisazoqhubeka. Kunombono ka-Ellen G. White ongakacaciswa ngokugcwele, futhi uzosisiza ekuqondeni kwethu umjikelezo wecilongo. Sekuyiminyaka eyi-165 ukuthi lesi sikhathi siqondwe.

Umbono unesihloko esifanele Ukubekwa uphawu encwadini Imibhalo Yakuqala, futhi kufanele ifundwe kanye wonke umuntu ngaphambi kokuqhubeka lapha. Ngizokhipha izingcaphuno ezibaluleke kakhulu kuphela.

Eqinisweni, kunemibono emibili echazwe kulesi sahluko 4. Isimo sezindaba esasingabekwa ngokugcwele ku-Ellen G. White embonweni oshiwo okokuqala siphindaphindwa kabili embonweni wesibili ngemininingwane eyengeziwe. Uma singamaJuda, besiyokuqonda lokho njengokugcizelela okukhethekile ukubaluleka kwaleyo ngxenye yombono.

Okokuqala, umbono wethu uqinisekisiwe ukuthi umjikelezo wenhlupho ungaqala kuphela ngemva kokuphela komjikelezo wecilongo:

Ngabona ukuthi izingelosi ezine zaziyobamba imimoya emine kuze kube yilapho umsebenzi kaJesu wenziwe endlini engcwele, bese kufika izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina. {I-EW 36.2}

Ukudedelwa kwemimoya emine kwenzeka ngecilongo lesithupha, ngokombhalo weBhayibheli:

Futhi i ingelosi yesithupha yayisibetha; ngezwa izwi livela ezimpondweni ezine ze-altare legolide eliphambi kukaNkulunkulu, lithi engelosini yesithupha enecilongo. Zithukululeni izingelosi ezine eziboshwe emfuleni omkhulu u-Ewufrathe. Zase zithukululwa izingelosi ezine, ezazilungiselwe ihora, nosuku, nenyanga, nomnyaka, ukuba zibulale ingxenye yesithathu yabantu. ( IsAmbulo 9:13-15 )

Ngemva kwalokho, u-Ellen G. White uboniswa ukuthi umyalo wokufa uyophuma ekuqaleni kwesikhathi sezinhlupho, nokuthi isikhathi sokuhlupheka kukaJakobe siyoqala kanjalo nokuthi isiphi isiphetho labo abake baliqaphela iSabatha kodwa abazange baligcine lapho bevivinywa. Ube esebona isigameko esiyinqaba ekupheleni kombono wokuqala weSabatha ekuseni kaJanuwari 5, 1849 okukhulunywe ngawo kulesi sahluko:

Khona-ke ingelosi yami ekhonzayo yangiqondisa futhi emzini, lapho ngabona khona izingelosi ezine bezulazula bebheke esangweni lomuzi. Bebethula nje ikhadi legolide engelosini esangweni ngabona enye ingelosi ukundiza ngesivinini usuka ohlangothini udumo olukhulu kakhulu, futhi ekhala nge izwi elikhulu kwezinye izingelosi, futhi eqhweba okuthile phansi naphezulu esandleni sakhe. Ngacela ingelosi yami eyayikhona ukuba ingichazele ngalokho engangikubona. Wangitshela ukuthi ngangingeke ngisakwazi ukubona ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa uzongibonisa ngokushesha ukuthi zisho ukuthini lezo zinto engangizibona ngaleso sikhathi. {I-EW 37.1}

Kubukeka njengesigcawu sokuqala sikaDaniyeli 8, lapho umprofethi olungileyo egula ngoba wayengawuqondi umbono. Kodwa u-Ellen G. White akazange alinde isikhathi eside njengoDaniel ompofu ukuze kuchazwe imininingwane. Ngalo lelo Sabatha ntambama, waba nombono wesibili:

Ngibone izingelosi ezine ababenomsebenzi wokuwenza emhlabeni, futhi besendleleni yokuwufeza. UJesu wembethe izingubo zobupristi. Ngakho-ke sisesikhathini esincane sosizi.] Wagqolozela insali enesihawu, wabe esephakamisa Izandla zakhe, wamemeza ngezwi lesihawu esikhulu. “Igazi lami, Baba, igazi laMi, igazi laMi, igazi laMi!” Ngase ngibona ukukhanya okukhulu kakhulu kuvela kuNkulunkulu, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe, kwachithwa konke kuJesu. Khona-ke ngabona ingelosi inomyalo ovela kuJesu, indizela ngokushesha ezingelosini ezine ezazinomsebenzi wokuwenza emhlabeni, futhi enyakazisa okuthile ngesandla sakhe, ekhala ngezwi elikhulu. “Bamba! Bamba! Bamba! Bamba! kuze kube yilapho izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zibekwe uphawu emabunzini azo.” {I-EW 38.1}

Embonweni wokuqala waleli Sabatha elikhethekile, u-Ellen G. White wabona amazwibela esenzakalo sasezulwini esizungeze ingelosi yesine (enye). Embonweni wesibili waboniswa ukuthi kwakuyoba namuphi umphumela ekuhambeni kwengelosi yesine emhlabeni, inkonzo yethu. Kwaphela isikhathi eside sizibuza ukuthi yini le “ngelosi” eyayinyakazisa phansi naphezulu esandleni sayo. Cishe kwakunjalo ku-Ellen G. White, ngoba embonweni wesibili uyabuza futhi futhi uthola impendulo:

Ngabuza ingelosi engangihamba nayo incazelo yalokho engakuzwa, nokuthi izingelosi ezine zase zizokwenzani. Wathi kimi uNkulunkulu ovimbe amandla, futhi Wanika izingelosi Zakhe umyalo phezu kwezinto ezisemhlabeni; ukuthi izingelosi ezine zazinamandla avela kuNkulunkulu okubamba imimoya emine, futhi zase zizoyikhulula; kodwa kwathi lapho izandla zabo zithukululwa, lemimoya emine isizavunguza, ilihlo likaJesu elilesihawu lakhangela insali eyayingabekwa uphawu, futhi Waphakama Izandla zakhe kuBaba futhi bamncenga ukuthi wayechithe igazi lakhe ngenxa yabo. Khona-ke enye ingelosi yathunywa ukuba indize ngokushesha izingelosi ezine futhi ithi zibambe, kuze kube yilapho izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zabekwa uphawu ngophawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo emabunzini azo. {I-EW 38.2}

Kuze kube nguJanuwari 31, 2014, kwakungeke kwenzeke ukuba sichaze le mibono ngendlela efanele. Kodwa ingelosi yesine yehla nento eyayizulisa phezulu naphansi phambi kwamehlo ethu. Kwakuyishadi lomjikelezo wecilongo engangilithole ngobusuku bangaphambi kwami intshumayelo ngoJanuwari 31 kusihlwa. Futhi kulo mjikelezo, okuwukuphindaphindwa kokugcina kwemijikelezo eminingi yamacilongo, kuneziqondiso ezikhethekile ezazingazange zinikezwe ngaphambili. Imimoya (izimpi nezinhlekelele) kwakufanele imiswe kuze kuqedwe ukubekwa uphawu.

Manje kufanele ucabangisise: Imaphi amacilongo “izibambiso” ezine zikaJesu ezisebenza kuwo? Sinamacilongo ayisikhombisa, kodwa “amacilongo” amane kuphela. Ngeke kube khona “ukubanjwa” kwecilongo lesithupha ngoba limelela ukudedelwa kwemimoya emine, futhi kanjalo, ngokunengqondo, ukubekwa uphawu ngokwako kumelwe kuqedwe. Akukho “ukubamba” okudingekayo ukuze kukhale icilongo lokuqala ngoba akaphethe isikhali sokuhlaba. Ngakho umyalo wokuba sibambe imimoya emine sisebenza ecilongo lesibili, lesithathu, lesine nelesihlanu.

Ukuba negunya phezu kwemimoya emine kuwumfanekiso nje. Asikwazi ukwenza ukuba izahlulelo ziwe futhi singafuni, nakuba ukubekezela kwethu kuzanywa. Ngokwemvelo singathanda ukuvela ekutadisheni siye ekuboneni (singathanda ukukhulula imimoya emine), kodwa uJesu ufuna isineke esikhulu kithi. Igunya lethu elobuciko obungokwesiprofetho. Igunya lethu lilinganiselwe ekuqondeni imibhalo yesiprofetho kanye nekhono lokuhumusha imibono, njengalena engenhla, namuhla nangendlela efanele.

Kodwa kubhalwe kuphi embhalweni ukuthi le miyalo ibhalwe ngempela icilongo lesibili kuya kwelesihlanu? Ingabe lokho akukhona nje ukucabangela kwethu ngaphandle kokusekelwa okwengeziwe kunombono ngokwawo?

Ake siphinde sibheke ishadi lecilongo elingenhla futhi ngeso lengqondo uJesu enamanxeba akhe kuyi-Orion, njengoba ngafanekisa eminyakeni edlule esilayidini 173 sencwadi ethi. Isethulo se-Orion. Imaphi amanxeba ahambisana necilongo lesibili kuya kwelesihlanu? Asinankinga yokuhlanganisa icilongo lesithathu nelesine izandla zikaJesu.

Emjikelezweni wokwahlulela, ngahumusha imigqa yesihlalo sobukhosi (icilongo lesibili nelesihlanu) njengesiphambano sikaJesu, kodwa Yena waphakamisa izandla Zakhe nesishicileli ukuze sihambisane nezinkanyezi i-Betelgeuse ne-Bellatrix. Noma sihlala nokuhunyushwa kwemigqa yesihlalo sobukhosi njengesiphambano somjikelezo wecilongo, nokho, Izandla zikaJesu yayiyobethelwa ngendlela engokomfanekiso emishayweni evundlile (ugongolo oluphambanayo noma imigqa yesihlalo sobukhosi).

Ngaleyo ndlela, icilongo lesibili laliyofanelana nesandla sokudla sikaJesu esiphambanweni, kuyilapho icilongo lesithathu liyoba isandla esifanayo, nje liphakanyiswe phezulu. Ngokufanayo, ngakolunye uhlangothi lomjikelezo wecilongo: icilongo lesine laliyoba isandla sikaJesu sobunxele esiphakanyisiwe futhi icilongo lesihlanu laliyoba yilelo elibekwe esiphambanweni.

Kubonakala kunengqondo futhi ukuthi lapho ecela uBaba ukuba abambe imimoya, uJesu wayebuza ngezandla Zakhe hhayi ngezinyawo Zakhe noma ngohlangothi Lwakhe. Uma ufunda umbhalo wombono ngokucophelela (futhi ngokugcizelela kwami), khona-ke usho kanjalo nje. Ekuphindaphindweni kwesithathu kwesimo embonweni, sinakho izandla zikaJesu ngobuningi kanye nomnyakazo usuka “endaweni yokuphumula esiphambanweni” ngokuphakanyiswa kwezandla kwesokudla nesobunxele ukusuka emigqeni yesihlalo sobukhosi kuya kuBetelgeuse noBellatrix, ngokulandelana:

…futhi Yena wakhuliswa Izandla zakhe kuBaba futhi bamncenga ukuthi wayechithe igazi lakhe ngenxa yabo. Khona-ke enye ingelosi yathunywa ukuba indize ngokushesha izingelosi ezine futhi ithi zibambe, kuze kube yilapho izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zabekwa uphawu ngophawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo emabunzini azo. {I-EW 38.2}

(Ngokomfanekiso, izithombe ezinyakazayo zibonisa ukuphakanyiswa kwesandla sikaJesu sokunene sokukhala kwecilongo lesibili nelesithathu.)

Ngakho-ke, amadoda amane anezikhali zokuhlaba anqunyelwe umthetho owayala uJesu uqobo Lwakhe. Lokho kwenza igazi laKhe lisebenze ukuze ukubhujiswa okubangelwa izingelosi zecilongo kungabi kubi kangangokuthi akukho nyama engasindiswa, nakuba uSathane ethanda ukuba kube njalo.

Uma ucabanga ukuthi bekungenzekani kumacilongo amabili okuqala (funda Amacilongo Anomsindo Othile futhi), khona-ke singabonga kuphela ingunaphakade kuJesu ngenkonzo Yakhe yokukhulumela. Izikhungo ezinkulu zokushicilela zama-Adventist ze-Review and Herald kanye ne-Pacific Press empeleni zazihloselwe ukwenza umsebenzi, kodwa njengoba siwenza ngomsebenzi wethu omncane “wokushicilela nokunyathelisa” esikhundleni salokho, singabonga ngokuthi akudingekile ukuba siqhubeke nawo ngaphansi kwezimo ezinzima ngendlela engachazeki. Sisenokufinyelela ku-inthanethi nokuxhumana nani bantu emhlabeni jikelele, futhi sisengakwazi ukunikeza lo mlayezo wokugcina ngamandla ethu okugcina.

Imifula yase-Edene

Siye sabhekana nokudedelwa kwemimoya emine kulesi sihloko, kodwa ngokweBhayibheli lezi ziboshwe emfuleni omkhulu i-Ewufrathe.

Ingelosi yesithupha yayisibetha, ngezwa izwi livela ezimpondweni ezine ze-altare legolide eliphambi kukaNkulunkulu, lithi engelosini yesithupha enecilongo: Thuthukisa izingelosi ezine. eziboshwe emfuleni omkhulu I-Ewufrathe. Zase zithukululwa izingelosi ezine ezazilungiselwe ihora, nosuku, nenyanga, nonyaka, ukuze abulale ingxenye yesithathu yabantu. ( IsAmbulo 9:13-15 )

Njengoba uJosiah Litch abikezela usuku oluqondile lokugcwaliseka kwecilongo lesithupha lasendulo ngokuwa koMbuso Wase-Ottoman ngo-August 11, 1840. UMaranatha 152}, ngakho ukukhala kwecilongo lesithupha ngoJulayi 8, 2015 kuzocaca kangangokuthi akekho ozongabaza izifundo zethu. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, isikhathi sokubekwa uphawu siyobe sesiphelile kwabayi-144,000 144,000, ngoba izingelosi ezine ziyobamba imimoya zize zibekwe uphawu zonke... ngakho noma ubani ongabaza isikhathi eside kangako ngokuqinisekile akanakuba ngowe-XNUMX!

Futhi emva kwalezi zinto ngabona izingelosi ezine emi emagumbini omane omhlaba. ibambe imimoya yomine yomhlaba. ukuze umoya ungavunguzi emhlabeni, naphezu kolwandle, naphezu kwanoma yimuphi umuthi. Futhi ngabona enye ingelosi ekhuphuka empumalanga [empumalanga = i-Orion], kokuba uphawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo: wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ku izingelosi ezine ezanikwa ukona umhlaba nolwandle. Ethi, Ungalimazi umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi; size sibeke uphawu izinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu emabunzini azo. (Isambulo 7: 1-3)

Lapha sithola umlingani weBhayibheli nombono ka-Ellen G. White okabili ngaphansi kwesihloko esandulele. Kodwa uhlobene kanjani nomfula i-Ewufrathe, okukhulunywa ngawo okunye okukhethekile emjikelezweni wenhlupho?

Futhi ingelosi yesithupha yathululela isitsha sayo phezu kwethempeli umfula omkhulu i-Ewufrathe; lamanzi awo atsha, indlela ka amakhosi asempumalanga [empumalanga = i-Orion] ingase ilungiswe. ( IsAmbulo 16:12 )

Abahlaziyi abambalwa sebebonile kakade ukuthi amakhosi asempumalanga yi-Divine Trio—uYise, uKristu noMoya oNgcwele. Singafunda lokho-noma okungenani into efana kakhulu-ekuphawuleni kwethu kweBhayibheli (okusekhona):

Ngokombono wesibili “amakhosi asempumalanga” amelela uKristu nalabo abahamba Naye. Lo mbono usekela igama elithi “amakhosi asempumalanga,” njengezinye izinkulumo ezingokomfanekiso zesAm. 16:12 , esenzakalweni esingokomlando sokunqoba kukaKoresi iBabiloni futhi kamuva wakhulula abantu bakaNkulunkulu, amaJuda, ukuba babuyele ezweni labo lendabuko. {SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 7; bheka kusAmbulo 16:12}

Ku-Bible Commentary, sifunda nokuthi i-Ewufrathe empeleni kwakuwumfula owawugeleza phakathi kwedolobha laseBhabhiloni. Kwenzekani emuva ngaleso sikhathi, lapho amaPheresiya bengena eBhabhiloni naseMene Tekeli enkosini yaseBhabhiloni uBelishasari wagcwalisa ngalobo busuku (bona uDaniyeli 5)?

KwakunguKoresi owanqoba idolobha laseBhabhiloni ngemva kokuphambukisa umfula i-Ewufrathe futhi wahlasela umuzi wadabula. umfula owomile. Lokho kwenzeka ngo-Okthoba 13, 539 BC. UKoresi waprofethwa ngegama ku-Isaya 44 no-45 ngokuthi “ogcotshiweyo weNkosi,” futhi ngaleyo ndlela umi njengomfanekiso kaKristu uqobo. Lokho kuwuqinisekisa ngokuqinile umbono ongenhla wokuthi umfula i-Ewufrathe uyokoma ekubuyeni kwesibili kukaJesu, nokuthi leyo yincazelo yeqiniso yamakhosi asempumalanga.

Kodwa siwaqonda kanjani la mavesi esikhathi sethu? Kusho ukuthini ukuthi umfula i-Ewufrathe uyokoma ngokoqobo ukulungiselela ukubuya kwesibili kukaJesu?

Ukuze sikuqonde lokhu, sidinga ukuguquka sisuka encwadini yokugcina yeBhayibheli siye kweyokuqala, lapho i-Ewufrathe ibizwa khona okokuqala:

UJehova uNkulunkulu watshala insimu e-Edene ngasempumalanga; wambeka lapho umuntu ayembumbile. UJehova uNkulunkulu wahlumisa emhlabathini yonke imithi ebukekayo, nelungele ukudliwa; nomuthi wokuphila phakathi nensimu, nomuthi wokwazi okuhle nokubi. Kwaphuma umfula e-Edene wokunisela insimu; lasuka lapho, lahlukaniswa laba amakhanda amane. Igama le- Okokuqala yi-Pison: yiyo ezungeza izwe lonke laseHavila, lapho kukhona igolide; Igolide lalelo zwe lihle; kukhona ibhedolaki* netshe leshohamu. Futhi igama le umfula wesibili yiGihoni; yiyona ezungeza izwe lonke laseTopiya. Futhi igama le umfula wesithathu yiHidekeli; yiyo eya ngasempumalanga kwase-Asiriya. Futhi i umfula wesine I-Ewufrathe. (UGenesise 2: 8-14)

Izazi-mlando nabavubukuli babefuna ukusebenzisa incazelo yemifudlana emine eyinhloko yomfula ephuma eNsimini yase-Edene ukuze bawuthole. Kodwa ngeshwa:

10. Umfula. Kuningi umzamo wezazi owenziwe emizamweni yokucacisa ivesi 10–14, kodwa incazelo eyanelisayo cishe ayisoze yatholakala, ngoba ubuso bomhlaba ngemva kukaZamcolo babufana kancane nalokho owawuyikho ngaphambili. Inhlekelele enkulu kangaka enjengokukhuphula izintaba eziphakeme nokwenza izindawo ezinkulu zolwandle yayingeke ishiye izici ezingaphansi njengemifula ingakathintwa. Ngakho-ke ngeke sibe nethemba lokuhlonza amagama ezindawo zangaphambi kokubhubha kwezikhukhula kanye nezici zomhlaba zanamuhla, ngaphandle kokuthi Ugqozi lungasenzela kanjalo (bheka i-PP 105-108). {SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 1; bheka kuGenesise 2:10}

Ngaphezu kwalokho, singabheka ngeze kulomhlaba iNsimu yase-Edene:

Insimu yase-Edene yahlala emhlabeni isikhathi eside ngemva kokuba umuntu exoshiwe ezindleleni zayo ezinhle. Uhlanga oluwile lwaluvunyelwe isikhathi eside ukuba lubuke ikhaya labamsulwa, ukungena kwalo kuvinjelwe izingelosi ezibukele kuphela. Esangweni lasePharadesi eligadiwe ngamakherubi inkazimulo yaphezulu yembulwa. Kwafika u-Adamu namadodana akhe ukuzokhonza uNkulunkulu. Lapha bavuselela izifungo zabo zokulalela lowomthetho ukweqa kwawo okwabaxosha e-Edene. Lapho igagasi lobubi lisabalala emhlabeni, futhi ububi babantu bunquma ukubhujiswa kwabo ngozamcolo wamanzi, isandla esatshala i-Edene salisusa emhlabeni. Kodwa ekubuyiselweni kokugcina, lapho kuyoba khona “izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha” ( IsAmbulo 21:1 ), kuzobuyiselwa kuhlotshiswe ngokukhazimulayo kunasekuqaleni. {PP62.2}

Kodwa uNkulunkulu akabhali lutho olungenamsebenzi eZwini Lakhe; sikubonile lokho kuqinisekiswa izikhathi eziningi. Futhi uma enweba ukuxhumana kusukela e-Ewufrathe yase-Edene ukuya ekubuyeni kwesibili kukaKristu lapho ephinda ekhuluma ngakho, khona-ke kuwumsebenzi wethu ongcwele ukukuphenya.

Umfula owawuphuma eNsimini yase-Edene uchazwa ngokungangabazeki njengohlukana ube eminye imifudlana emine. Le mifula emine inezinombolo futhi ihlelwe ngokulandelana okuqondile eBhayibhelini. Amanzi agobhozayo ngokuvamile amelela ukuhamba kwesikhathi noma ukulandelana okuthile kwezenzakalo emlandweni wesintu nendawo yonke. Kusebenza okufanayo lapha lapho sikhuluma ngozakwabo wasemhlabeni, umfula wamanzi okuphila ogeleza uphuma e-Edene, njengophawu lomfula wasezulwini ophuma esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu.

Futhi wangibonisa okuhlanzekile umfula wamanzi okuphila, ucwebezela njengekristalu, uphuma esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu. Phakathi kwesitaladi sawo nangaphesheya komfula kwakukhona umuthi wokuphila, othela izithelo eziyishumi nambili, uthela izithelo zawo inyanga nenyanga, namaqabunga omuthi angawokuphulukisa izizwe. ( IsAmbulo 22:1-2 )

UJesu uqobo wabiza imfundiso yakhe ngokuthi amanzi okuphila:

UMoya nomlobokazi bathi: Woza. Nozwayo makathi: Woza. Nowomileyo makeze. Futhi yilowo nalowo othanda makathathe amanzi okuphila ngesihle. (IsAmbulo 22: 17)

UJesu waphendula wathi kuye. Uma ubusazi isipho sikaNkulunkulu, nokuthi ngubani othi kuwe: Ngiphuzise; ubungacela kuye, yena ubezakunika amanzi aphilayo. (UJohn 4: 10)

Ngakho-ke, imifula emine yase-Edene imelela amanzi okuphila ezinkathini ezine ezihlukene zomlando wesintu. Vumela uMoya oNgcwele usiqondise njengoba sifunda amagama emifula ukuze sibone ukuthi singakwazi yini ukuthola ukuthi yiziphi izinkathi zomlando wesintu ezigcizelelwa ngokukhethekile ngesipho samanzi okuphila okuphakade esivela kuNkulunkulu.

Igama elokuqala lithi I-Pison: yiyo ezungeza izwe lonke Havila, lapho kukhona igolide; Igolide lalelo zwe lihle; kukhona ibhedolaki* netshe leshohamu. ( Genesise 2:11-12 )

I-Strong's isinika ulwazi ngencazelo yamagama esiHeberu:

H6376
פּישׁון
pı̂yshôn
Kusuka ku-H6335; ezihlakazayo; IPisoni, umfula wase-Edene: - IPisoni.

Ibhekisa ku-H6335 njengempande. Ukubheka igama ngokuningiliziwe:

פּוּשׁ
Phusha
Umsuka wakudala; ukusabalalisa; ngokomfanekiso yenza ngokuziqhenya: - khulani, nikhuluphale, nizisakaze, nihlakazeke;

Uyasazi yini isizwe noma abantu ababezidla futhi ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu wabahlakazela emimoyeni yomine?

Isiprofetho esimelene no-Israyeli kuDuteronomi sisitshela ukuthi siphathelene nabantu bakwa-Israyeli abahlupheka ngokuhlakazeka:

Futhi uJehova uyokwenza ngikuhlakaze ezizweni. niyakusala niyingcosana phakathi kwezizwe, lapho uJehova eyakuniholela khona. ( Duteronomi 4:27 )

Laba bantu babenomsebenzi wokunikeza amanzi okuphila endaweni yabo, kodwa abawenzanga umsebenzi wabo:

U-Isaya umchaza ngokuthi “idwala laphakade,” “nomthunzi wedwala elikhulu ezweni eliyethileyo.” Isaya 26:4 (umkhawulo); 32:2. Futhi ubhala isithembiso esiyigugu, ukukhumbuza kahle umfula ophilayo owawugelezela u-Israyeli: “Lapho abampofu nabampofu befuna amanzi. akukho, nolimi lwabo luyaphela ukoma; Mina Jehova ngiyakubezwa, mina Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli angiyikubashiya.” “Ngiyakuthela amanzi phezu kowomileyo, nezikhukhula emhlabathini owomileyo; “Ehlane kuyakubhoboka amanzi, nemifudlana ogwadule.” Isimemo siyanikezwa, “Hhayi, nonke enomileyo, wozani emanzini.” Isaya 41:17; 44:3; Isaya 35:6; 55:1. Futhi emakhasini okugcina eZwi eliNgcwele lesi simemo sinanelwe. Umfula wamanzi okuphila, “ucwebezela njengekristalu,” uvela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu; nobizo lomusa lukhala njalo kuzo zonke izikhathi, “Lowo othandayo, makathathe amanzi okuphila ngesihle.” IsAmbulo 22:17 . {PP413.2}

Umfula iPishoni uzungeza izwe laseHavila. Lelo gama lisho "indilinga" futhi livela empandeni elula i-H2342, ephakamisa izinhlungu zokubeletha phakathi kwezinye izinto. Eqinisweni, ihlumela, uJesu Kristu, lazalwa esizweni samaJuda. Leso ngesinye isiprofetho sakudala kakhulu sokuthi ngolunye usuku uKristu wayeyozalwa ngamaJuda. Njengoba nje igolide emfanekisweni kaDaniyeli lalimelela iBabiloni—isizwe esinobutha kuNkulunkulu—bheka igolide lezwe laseHavila. Limelela abantu bakaNkulunkulu bokuqala ababeseyigolide uma kuqhathaniswa nalokho okwakuzolandela. Yingakho uNkulunkulu ephinde athi igolide lalelo zwe “lihle.”

Mayelana nezici zebhedola kanye netshe leshohamu, izazi zethu ze-Bible Commentary azinalwazi. Ngiyavuma.

Igama elithi bhdelium lisho iparele futhi lisikhumbuza amasango aliparele angu-12 oMuzi Ongcwele, wona amelela izizwe ezingu-12 zikaIsrayeli “omusha”.

Amasango ayishumi nambili ayekhona amaparele ayishumi nambili; isango ngalinye lalingeleparele linye, nesitaladi somuzi sasiyigolide elicwengekileyo njengengilazi ekhanyayo. ( IsAmbulo 21:21 )

Amatshe eshohamu amelela amatshe esikhumbuzo namagama ezizwe ezingu-12 zasendulo zakwa-Israyeli, umpristi omkhulu ayewathwala emahlombe akhe.

Futhi uzothatha amatshe amabili eshohamu, futhi uqophe kuzo amagama abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, amagama ayisithupha abo kwelinye itshe, namagama ayisithupha abaseleyo kwelinye itshe ngokweenzala zabo. Njengomsebenzi womqophi wamatshe, njengokuqoshwa kwendandatho, woqopha amatshe womabili amagama abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uwafake ezisekelweni zegolide. Wowabeka amatshe omabili ezizibeni zamahlombe e-efodi, abe ngamatshe esikhumbuzo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, u-Aroni athwale amagama abo phambi kukaJehova emahlombe akhe omabili abe yisikhumbuzo. ( Eksodusi 28:9-12 )

Njengoba manje sekusobala ukuthi umfula wokuqala wawumelela isizwe samaJuda, esasingabantu bokuqala bakaNkulunkulu lapha emhlabeni, kufanele sibe nesikhathi esilula sokuthola isizwe saKhe sesibili emfuleni wesibili. Ngakho-ke, umbhalo weBhayibheli akudingeki unikeze imikhondo eminingi:

Futhi igama le umfula wesibili yiGihoni; yiyona ezungeza izwe lonke laseTopiya. ( Genesise 2:13 )

I-Gihon isho umfula futhi ivela...

H1518
גּח גּיח
gîyach goach
ghee'-akh, go'-akh
Umsuka wakudala; ukugeleza (njengamanzi), ngokuvamile ukukhipha: - qhuma, sebenza kanzima ukuveza, phumani, khiphani, khipha.

Emvuleni yokuqala, eyanikezwa ngePhentekoste lika-AD 31, amanzi kaMoya oNgcwele aqala ukugeleza futhi athululelwa kumaKristu okuqala. Izindaba ezinhle zikaJesu Kristu zasakazwa futhi zagobhoza njengomfula omkhulu wegazi likaJesu nothando lukaNkulunkulu. Abaphostoli basebenza ngenkuthalo ukuze baveze ulibo, futhi ubuKristu bavela. Babebhala namaVangeli.

Kodwa akuhambanga ngendlela ababefisa ngayo. UKushe indodana kaHamu, indodana kaNowa—noma izwe lakwaKushe (iTopiya) lifanekisela ukwenziwa kukaNimrode, owokuqala owakha amadolobha kanye nedolobha elikhulu phakathi kwabakhi abakhulu noma abaklami bezakhiwo. UMbhoshongo WaseBhabhele. Namuhla, abamlandelayo “abangokomoya” bangopapa, futhi ngaleyondlela izwe laseKushe limelela ubupapa, okwavela ngeshwa enkathini yobuKristu eyaqala ngo-AD 31 kuya ku-1798.

UKushe wazala uNimrodi, waqala waba ligorha emhlabeni.... Ukuqala kombuso wakhe kwakuyiBabele, ne-Ereki, ne-Akade, neKaline, ezweni laseShineyari. Kulelo zwe kwaphuma i-Asiriya, wakha iNineve, nomuzi waseRehoboti, neKhala, neResen phakathi kweNineve neKala: wona umuzi omkhulu. ( Genesise 10:8-12 )

Ake sithole inkathi yesithathu uNkulunkulu ayichaza ngegama lomfula:

Igama lomfula wesithathu ngu I-Hiddekel: yilo eliya ngasempumalanga empumalanga ye-Asiriya... (UGenesise 2: 14)

I-Bible Commentary noma i-Strong's ayinayo imibono eminingi ngalo mfula. Kodwa sinawo umBhalo oNgcwele, ozihumusha ngokwawo. Ikuphi enye iHidekeli okukhulunywa ngayo?

Yinye kuphela indawo lapho kuvela khona iHidekeli emiBhalweni, okungukuthi, esahlukweni 10 sencwadi kaDaniyeli. UJesu mathupha kubonakala kumprofethi embonweni omangalisayo oqhubeka kuze kube sekupheleni kweSahluko 12, kanjalo uqhubeke kuze kube sekupheleni kwencwadi.

Ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nane lwenyanga yokuqala njengami eceleni komfula omkhulu, iHidekeli; Ngase ngiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona, bheka, nanto indoda embethe ilineni, ekhalweni layo ibhince igolide elicolekileyo lase-Ufazi, nomzimba wayo wawunjengekrisolithe, nobuso bayo bunjengokubonakala kombani, namehlo ayo enjengezibani zomlilo, izingalo zayo nezinyawo zayo zinjengombala wethusi olukhazimulayo, nezwi lamazwi ayo linjengezwi lesixuku. ( Daniyeli 10:4-6 )

Kungale komfula iHidekeli lapho uJesu emi lapho efunga isifungo esaziwa kakhulu yibo bonke abafundi be-Orion. Ufunga emadodeni amabili osebeni lomfula, amelela izivumelwano ezindala nezintsha, nokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo nabaphilayo.

Ngase ngibheka, bheka, kwakumi abanye ababili, omunye ngaphesheya kosebe yomfula, enye ingaphesheya kosebe lomfula. Futhi omunye wathi endodeni embethe ilineni, okuyinto laliphezu kwamanzi omfula; Koze kube nini ukuphela kwalezi zimangaliso? ( Daniyeli 12:5-6 )

UJesu uvezwa njengendoda eyembethe ilineni, okuyinto—njengoba sesiyazi kakade—ebonisa inkonzo yaKhe yokukhulumela njengomPristi Ophakeme ngoSuku Olukhulu Lokubuyisana olwaziwa nangokuthi ukwahlulela okuphenyayo ezulwini. Ngakho sikhuluma ngesikhathi kusukela ngo-1844, nangoDaniyeli, incwadi yokwahlulela. Igama elithi Daniyeli ngokwalo lisho ukuthi “uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli wami.” Iliphi ibandla lokhu okumelela? Imele ibandla lama-Adventist, kunjalo.

Ngo-2008, uNkulunkulu wanginika ukuqonda isifungo sikaJesu emi phezu kweHidekeli. Nganquma ukuthi isikhathi sokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo sibe iminyaka eyi-168 ngomfanekiso walesi sifungo. Ngenkulu intokozo, ngahamba ngayotshela abazalwane bami ngalokhu kuthola kodwa ngazithola ngimi phambi kwezindlebe ezingezwa eSontweni lama-Adventist, ngisho nangaphambi kokuba kuphele ukuzulazula kwasehlane kwabantu base-Advent ngo-2010. Lolu lwazi kamuva lwaba ukhiye wesifundo se-Orion. Iwashi likaNkulunkulu belingeke lifundeke ngaphandle kwalo.

Ngakho iHidekeli imele abantu bakaNkulunkulu besikhathi sokuphela. Kwakuyisihluthulelo se-Orion, kodwa futhi isizathu sokuba abantu be-Advent benqabe lokhu kukhanya okusha okukhulu. Bekungaholela ekuthululeni kwemvula yakamuva ngesimo sikaMoya oNgcwele njengengelosi yesine kusukela ngo-2010 kuya phambili. Inkulumo ethi umfula iHidekeli ugeleza empumalanga ye-Asiriya, ikhomba impande elula ethi H833 esho “ukubizwa noma ukubusiswa.” IBandla lama-Adventist bekufanele kube yilona elamukela isibusiso esabikezelwa ekupheleni kwezinsuku eziyi-1335 zikaDaniyeli 12, kodwa inkani yabaholi namalungu—ephikisana neka-Israyeli wasendulo—yasivimbela leso sibusiso phezu kwebandla lokwahlulela, iLawodikeya. AmaJuda awazange amqaphele uJesu lapho efika kubantu baKhe futhi ema eduze kwabo, futhi ama-Adventist awazange amqaphele uJesu lapho ebonakala phezu kwawo e-Orion, nakuba u-Ellen G. White ecaphuna i-Orion njengesihlalo sikaNkulunkulu, ithempeli nendawo yenkonzo kaJesu yokuncenga endaweni engcwele yasezulwini.

Asisamangali ukuthi kungani umfula wesine wawudingeka ukuze ulethe amanzi okuphila nokuthi kungani lo mfula kukhulunywa ngawo evesini elifanayo. Ukunyakaza kwethu kuxhumene kakhulu neBandla lama-Adventist. Siyinsali nje ethembekile yebandla elifanayo futhi sakhela phezu kwakho konke ukukhanya kwalo okuhle. Esihlokweni Ukuphela kweBandla lama-Adventist ungabona isithombe esihle kakhulu futhi esifanayo sokuhlangana kwensali yensali emfanekisweni wowesifazane omuhle wesAmbulo 12. Sivezwa njengezinkanyezi emqhele wowesifazane. Umqhele kwakuyiSonto Lama-Adventist, futhi izinkanyezi zingezabomqhele njengomfula wesine i-Ewufrathe kukhulunywa ngawo ngomoya ofanayo noweHidekeli.

Igama lomfula wesithathu yiHidekeli; yiwo ophumela ngasempumalanga kwase-Asiriya. Futhi umfula wesine I-Ewufrathe. (UGenesise 2: 14)

Imimoya emine iboshiwe kulo mfudlana wesine, ongafaneli omunye ngaphandle kwethu, amaSabatha Aphakeme. Sesike sachaza ngenhla kabanzi ukuthi kungani lo mfula umele umnyakazo wethu. Saze sachaza ngendawo yethu endaweni Izwi LikaNkulunkulu futhi waphawula indlela esifanelana ngayo nencazelo yezwi likaNkulunkulu njengamanzi amaningi. KuHezekeli 47:1 , uNkulunkulu wanikeza iziqondiso kusukela empophomeni enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, siwela imifula ehlukahlukene siye epulazini lethu futhi siphele ngasemnyango wethempeli lethu.

UNkulunkulu waprofetha encwadini yokuqala yeBhayibheli ukuthi ibandla Lakhe lesine i-Ewufrathe ngelinye ilanga liyobhekana nokuxegiswa kwemimoya emine, noma eliyoba negunya phezu kwayo. Amanzi okuphila, ngawo Umkhumbi Wesikhathi ohamba ngomkhumbi, uyokoma ngokuphelele esibethweni sesithupha. Lokhu akusho ukuthi noma ubani angasindiswa phakathi nesikhathi sezinhlupho ngamanzi kuze kufike inhlupho yesithupha, kodwa kuphawula ukuphela kwesigijimi sesikhathi ngokwaso. Ngenhlupho yesithupha, ekugcineni kuzokwenziwa isinqumo sokufa kwabangu-144,000. Njengoba bezothuliswa, uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe uzophinda anikeze isikhathi ngaphambi nje kokufika kukaJesu njengohlobo lokuqinisekisa abantu Bakhe, futhi ngaleyo ndlela umbono olandelayo ka-Ellen G. White kusukela ngo-1847 uzogcwaliseka. Kuyo, wezwa isimemezelo sesibili sangaleso sikhathi. Khona-ke owokugcina wemifula emine uyobe usunqamukile ukugeleza!

Kwakuphakathi kwamabili lapho uNkulunkulu akhetha ukukhulula abantu Bakhe. Lapho ababi bebahleka usulu nxazonke zabo, kwavela ilanga likhanya ngamandla alo, nenyanga yema. Ababi babuka le ndawo ngokumangala, kuyilapho abangcwele bebona ngenjabulo enkulu izimpawu zokukhululwa kwabo. Izibonakaliso nezimangaliso zalandelana ngokushesha. Konke kwabonakala kuphenduke inkambo yakho yemvelo. Imifudlana yanqamuka ukugeleza. Kwaqhamuka amafu amnyama, ashayana. Kodwa kwakukhona indawo eyodwa ecacile yenkazimulo ezinzile, lapho kwavela khona izwi likaNkulunkulu njengamanzi amaningi, unyakazisa izulu nomhlaba. kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu. Amathuna avuleka, nabafele ekukholweni phansi kwezwi lengelosi yesithathu begcina isabatha, baphuma emibhedeni yabo enothuli, bekhazinyulisiwe. ukuzwa isivumelwano sokuthula uNkulunkulu ayezowenza nalabo ababegcine umthetho waKhe.

Lavuleka izulu lavaleka lanyakaza. Izintaba zazamazama njengomhlanga, zaphonsa amatshe adilikile nxazonke. Ulwandle lwalubila njengembiza, lwaphonsa amatshe emhlabathini. Futhi njengoba UNkulunkulu wakhuluma usuku nehora lokuza kukaJesu futhi wanikeza isivumelwano saphakade kubantu Bakhe, Wakhuluma umusho owodwa, wayesema isikhashana, lapho amazwi eginqika emhlabeni. U-Israyeli kaNkulunkulu wema amehlo akhe ebheke phezulu, elalela amazwi njengoba ephuma emlonyeni kaJehova futhi egingqika emhlabeni njengokuduma okukhulu kwezulu. Kwakunzima kakhulu. Ekupheleni kwawo wonke umusho abangcwele bamemeza, “Dumo! Haleluya!” Ubuso babo bakhanyiswa inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, futhi bakhanya ngenkazimulo njengobuso bukaMose lapho ehla eSinayi. Ababi babengenakubheka kubo ukuze bathole inkazimulo. Futhi lapho i- isibusiso esingapheli kwamenyezelwa kulabo ababehloniphe uNkulunkulu ngokugcina iSabatha lakhe lingcwele, kwaba khona ukumemeza okukhulu kokunqoba isilo nomfanekiso waso. {EW 285.1–2}

Ukuphela Kokuvinjezelwa

Incwadi kaHezekeli iyincwadi yesikhathi sethu—yokubekwa uphawu kwabayizi-144,000 XNUMX—futhi iqukethe amatshe ayigugu amaningi engeziwe okunyakaza kwethu. Sikholelwa ukuthi sithole elinye itshe eliyigugu engcebweni kaHezekeli, futhi sithemba ukuthi sikufunde kahle konke. Isikhathi sizosho maduze ukuthi silungile noma asilungile ngencazelo elandelayo.

Sihumushe kahle imigqa yesikhathi kaDaniel 12 ngemuva konyaka womusa ngosizo lwe-HSL (Umkhumbi Wesikhathi), futhi ukwazi ngisho nokubikezela isikhathi esiqondile sokusula kukaBenedict XVI, ukukhethwa kukapapa kukaFrancis kanye nokuqala kwezinsuku eziyi-1260 zenkathi yenkathazo ngokumiswa kojenene bamaJesuit Francis. Njengendlela esenze ngayo lokho, incwadi kaHezekeli yasisiza ukuba sithole omunye umugqa wesikhathi osibonisa elinye iphuzu elibalulekile ngesikhathi sohlelo lukaNkulunkulu.

Khumbula ukuthi saziqonda kanjani imigqa yesikhathi kaDaniel 12. Sithole iRosetta Stone ka-Ellen G. White (the 1888-1890 triplet) okwesibili ku-triplet yango-2013-2015. Ngemva kokubona Iphutha likaMiller futhi sathola ukubuya kwesibili kukaJesu ngoSuku Olukhulu Lokugcina (Shemini Atzeret) luka-2016, kwaba lula ukubala emuva kwezinsuku eziyi-1335 zikaDaniel 12 ukuze zifike kuFebhruwari 27-28, 2013. Yilapho uBenedict XVI asula khona. Sasazi ukuthi ukuqala nokuphela komugqa wesikhathi wezinsuku eziyi-1290 neziyi-1260 kwakufanele kube phakathi kwezinsuku eziyi-1335, nokuthi bobabili kwakufanele baphele ndawonye. I-latitude yesikhashana yayingenkulu kakhulu, futhi sasola isikhala sezinsuku ezingu-30 kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi. Lokho kwafakazelwa ukuthi kuyiqiniso ngokuphelele. Lapho uFrancis ekhethwa ngoMashi 13, kwacaca ukuthi esinye isenzakalo esibalulekile kwakufanele senzeke ngo-Ephreli 13 ukuze kuqalwe ukuqala kwenkathi yenkathazo yezinsuku ezingu-1260.

Izinsuku eziyi-1335 zimelelwe kuDaniyeli 12 njengesikhathi sokulinda, futhi yilokho kanye abazizwa beyikho.

Ubusisiwe lowo linda, afike ezinsukwini eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amathathu namashumi amathathu nanhlanu. ( Daniyeli 12:12 )

Nansi ukubekezela labangcwele, laba abagcina imilayo kaNkulunkulu lokukholwa nguJesu. ( IsAmbulo 14:12 )

Kwakuyisikhathi sokulinda phakathi kokusula kukapapa wesikhombisa kusukela ngo-1929, lapho inxeba lesilo sokuqala liqala ukuphola futhi esavunyelwa ukuba sihlale isikhashana nje, nokufika kukaJesu (ubusisiwe ophilayo kuze kube yileso sikhathi).

Nansi ingqondo enokuhlakanipha. Amakhanda ayisikhombisa ayizintaba eziyisikhombisa owesifazane ehlezi phezu kwazo. Futhi angamakhosi ayisikhombisa: ayisihlanu asewile, nenye ikhona; [UPapa John Paul II] kanti omunye akakafiki; futhi lapho efika. kumele aqhubeke isikhashana. [Benedict XVI] (Isambulo 17: 9-10)

Incazelo yalesi siprofetho ayikaze ibonakale ngokucacile njengoba ibonakala namuhla. Abazange bamvumele uBenedict ukuthi ahlale engupapa. Waphoqeleka ukuba ahoxe ukuze abekele upapa wesishiyagalombili nomshushisi wabantu bakaNkulunkulu beqiniso indawo. Yingakho uBenedict ekwazi ukuhlala isikhashana nje (cishe iminyaka eyi-7).

Upapa wesishiyagalombili wakhethwa ngoMashi 13, futhi izinsuku eziyi-1290 zikaDaniel 12 zaqala ngaye:

Futhi kusukela esikhathini lapho umhlatshelo wezinsuku zonke uyosuswa, futhi isinengiso esichithayo misa, kuyakuba yizinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalolunye. ( Daniyeli 12:11 )

Ngakho-ke, isinengiso sencithakalo siye sabonakala njengoPapa Francis. Kwakungekhona ukuphoqelelwa komthetho wangeSonto njengoba amanye ama-Adventist ayekholelwa (kodwa wayehlale engabaza kakhulu). Sabhala ngokuningiliziwe mayelana nsuku zonke futhi ngubani wayithatha away in the Isexwayiso Sokugcina chungechunge.

Kuzokwenzekani kuPapa Francis?

Futhi isilo owayekhona, futhi akekho, ngisho naye owesishiyagalombili, futhi ungowabayisikhombisa, futhi liya ekubhujisweni. (IsAmbulo 17: 11)

Lawo akuwona amathemba amahle kapapa “omuhle” futhi “othobekile” ongumJesuit. Yena uqobo uhlanganisa isilo sokuqala sesAmbulo 13, ububi obukhulu kunabo bonke owake waba khona embusweni wobupapa. Uhlanganisa i-Counter-Reformation kanye nokuQulwa Kwamacala Ezihlubuki kanye nokubulawa kwabantu abaningi ngamaJesuit. Lowo umbuso wezwe wesishiyagalombili, i-New World Order, oyobhujiswa izizwe ngesikhathi sezinhlupho. Uyobhekana nesiphetho sakhe echibini lomlilo ekufikeni kukaJesu, kanye nomprofethi wamanga (ubuProthestani obuhlubukayo):

Futhi isilo uthathiwe, kanye naye umprofethi wamanga owenza izibonakaliso phambi kwaso, adukisa ngazo labo abemukele uphawu lwesilo, nabakhuleka emfanekisweni waso. laba bobabili baphonswa besezwa echibini lomlilo ukuvutha nesibabule. ( IsAmbulo 19:20 )

Njengoba imigqa yesikhathi yezinsuku ze-1290 kanye ne-1260 yesifungo sikaJesu kuDaniyeli 12 idinga ukumisa kanye nokubhujiswa kwe-New World Order, sazi futhi ukuqala okuqondile kwezinsuku ezingu-1260 ngo-April 13, 2013. Yebo sasizibuza ukuthi yini ezokwenzeka ngalolo suku, futhi bamangala ukuthi uPhapha omusha wamakhadi ngosuku lwakhe olusha olusungula umkhandlu wakhe wezwe oyisishiyagalombili. Isifunda ngasinye amaJesuit ahlukanisa iplanethi sibe sathola esaso umholi.

Futhi yagcwalisa isiprofetho esilandelayo sikaDaniyeli 11:

Uyakutshala amatabernakele endlu yakhe yobukhosi phakathi kwezilwandle entabeni engcwele ekhazimulayo; nokho uyakufika ekupheleni kwakhe, akakho ongayisiza. ( Daniyeli 11:45 )

Eminyakeni ka-2010-2012 sanikeza izixwayiso zomlayezo we-Orion (amahemuhemu avela empumalanga yezulu) kanye nezixwayiso ze-Vessel of Time (amahemuhemu avela enyakatho yezulu, indawo engcwele kaNkulunkulu). Lokho kwabeka amaJesuit eVatican endaweni eqinile. Manje base besazi ukuthi iqembu elincane labantu lase liqalile ukuqoqa ofakazi bakaBaba abangu-144,000 45. Kungakho babhodla ngolaka olukhulu ukuthi bamthathe uBenedict; babedinga ukuzithathela bona ubuholi. Evesini XNUMX asitshelwa lutho ngempi esobala, kodwa ukuvinjezelwa kuphela. Ukumiswa kwamatende esigodlo kunencazelo emfushane yendawo: ulwandle luvela ngobuningi njengokuthi “izilwandle.”

Ezihlokweni Izwi likaNkulunkulu futhi Ukushintsha Indawo, sabonisa ngokucacile ukuthi uNkulunkulu uye wakhetha ipulazi lethu elincane ukuze libe ubuholi obuyinhloko babantu baKhe nanjengomfanekiso wasemhlabeni weJerusalema Elisha. Upapa omusha ungupapa wokuqala ongeyena owaseYurophu emlandweni, futhi uvela ezweni elingumakhelwane i-Argentina. Manje bheka indawo yepulazi lethu esifundeni saseCordillera (Isifunda SeNtaba YaseParaguay) uma siqhathanisa ne-Argentina.

I-Argentina yenza ukunyakaza kwe-pincer ncamashi endaweni eseningizimu-mpumalanga yeParaguay lapho ipulazi lethu likhona. Sinqanyulwe ngokusemthethweni i-Argentina ngasohlangothini lwazo zombili izilwandle—uLwandlekazi iPacific ukuya entshonalanga kanye noLwandlekazi i-Atlantic ukuya empumalanga. Intaba engcwele yasemhlabeni ivinjezelwe ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso upapa wase-Argentina. Upapa ugxumeke amatende awo obukhosi e-Argentina, eshiseka ngokuphelele ngeRoma manje, hhayi nje ngoba yaveza upapa okokuqala, kodwa futhi owokuqala ovela eNingizimu Melika. UFrancis naye unobudlelwano obukhethekile nowesifazane waseParaguay asevele eyiqokile indondo yeNobel Peace Prize. Usebenzisa wonke amathuba ukudumisa owesifazane waseParaguay ngesibindi sakhe sokuvikela nokwakha kabusha izwe lakhe ngemva kweMpi Ye-Triple Alliance. Sivinjezelwe futhi siyazizwa. Sihlaselwa amakhaza ezwe elisizungezile elingamaKatolika, cishe ngaphandle kokukhetha.

Umhlaba wonke ubulokhu uvinjezelwe kanye nathi, selokhu kwamiswa ojenene bamaJesuit ngo-April 13, 2013. Simele nje ukuvinjezelwa komhlaba wonke ngokumelene neqiniso ngamanga neNew World Order. Bheka nje ukuthi izinkolo zomhlaba zihlangana kanjani manje eVatican inkolo yezwe elilodwa. Anginaso isikhathi nesikhala sokupakisha lonke uhambo lwezehlakalo kububanzi balesi sihloko esivele sinde ngokweqile. Umbuzo obaluleke kakhulu uthi: lapho ukuvinjezelwa kuzophenduka kube ukuhlasela?

Impendulo yayingafihlwa ohlwini lwezikhathi lukaHezekeli, njengoba ngishilo ekuqaleni kwalesi sihloko. ESahlukweni 4 sikaHezekeli, umprofethi uyalwa ukuba enze isimemezelo sokuvimbezela izakhamuzi zaseJerusalema, okwakulingisa isimo ababezobhekana naso ngaphansi kukaNebukadinesari.

“Wena ndodana yomuntu, zithathele isitini, usibeke phambi kwakho, uqophe kuso umuzi, iJerusalema; Beka ukuvimbezela ngokumelene nalo, futhi akhe a oqinile [siege tower] ngokumelene nakho, wawunqwabela iduli; misa ikamu ngokumelene nalo. ubeke izinqama zokubhodloza inhlangothi zonke. Futhi zithathele kuwe ipani yensimbi, [insimbi ifanekisela iRoma hhayi iBhabhiloni!] futhi wawumisa udonga lwe iron phakathi kwakho nomuzi, ubhekise ubuso bakho kuwo, kube njalo kuvinjezelwe, futhi uyakuwuvimbezela. Lokhu kuzoba uphawu endlini kaIsrayeli. ( Hezekeli 4:1-3 )

Bese sifunda ngezikhathi:

Nawe lala ngohlangothi lwakho lwesokhohlo, ubeke ububi bendlu yakwa-Israyeli phezu kwalo; Ngokuba ngibeke phezu kwakho iminyaka yokona kwabo njengesibalo sezinsuku; izinsuku ezingamakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisishiyagalolunye; kanjalo uyakuthwala ububi bendlu yakwa-Israyeli. Lapho usuzifezile, lala futhi ngohlangothi lwakho lokunene, futhi uzolala athwale ububi bendlu yakwaJuda izinsuku ezingamashumi amane; ngikumise usuku ngalunye lube unyaka. ( Hezekeli 4:4-6 )

Abahlaziyi beBhayibheli bakuthola kunzima ukuqonda le minyaka engu-390, efanekiselwa kusetshenziswa isimiso sosuku, ngoba isibalo eside samakhosi akwaIsrayeli siyenqatshwa namuhla. Nokho, siqinisekise ukubala okude ngewashi le-Orion, futhi lenza isithombe esihle. Kungaba kuningi kakhulu ukwethula lapha, nokho. Abahlaziyi abanankinga ngeminyaka engu-40 yezono zikaJuda.

Asinaso isithakazelo ekusetshenzisweni kwala mavesi esikhathini esidlule, kodwa incazelo ebalulekile ye yethu isikhathi ngokuka-Ellen G. White. Ngalokho, kufanele sibuyele esimisweni sosuku nosuku esiholela ekuvinjezelweni okuphelele kwezinsuku ezingama-390 + 40 = 430.

Ukuqala izinsuku ezingama-430 zokuvinjezelwa komhlaba ngo-April 13, 2013 ngokugxunyekwa kwamatende esigodlo ojenene bamaJesuit kuzo zonke izingxenye zomhlaba kusiletha kuJuni 17, 2014 njengosuku lokugcina. Sake salubona lolu suku ngaphambili kulesi sihloko! Uyakhumbula kuphi? Yebo, usuku lokuhlanganiswa noma lokuhlakazwa kwezindlu zethu zokushicilela. Ngandlela thize, lokhu sekuvele kuwukuhlasela okukhulu kwe-Adventism ngayinye!

Kodwa kuHezekeli 5, ukuhlasela kuchazwa kabi kakhulu futhi empeleni kulindeleke ngoLwesithathu, Juni 18, 2014 ngemva kokuphela kokuvinjezelwa, uma sisiqonda lesi siprofetho ngendlela efanele. Lapho ufunda umbhalo weBhayibheli, umuntu akakwazi ukuzibamba kodwa acabange ngomlilo omubi e-Battle Creek:

“Wena ndodana yomuntu, zithathele inkemba ebukhali, uzithathele impuco yomgundi, uyidlulise ekhanda lakho nasesilevini sakho, uthathe izilinganiso zokulinganisa, uhlukanise izinwele. Ingxenye yesithathu uyishise ngomlilo phakathi komuzi, lapho seziphelile izinsuku zokuvinjezelwa. uthathe ingxenye yesithathu, uyigalele ngommese nxazonke, nengxenye yesithathu uyihlakaze emoyeni; ngiyakuhosha inkemba emva kwabo. Uyakuthabatha kuzo eziyingcosana, uzibophe emiphethweni yezingubo zakho. Bese uthatha kuzo, ukuphonse phakathi komlilo, uzishise emlilweni; ngokuba kuyophuma umlilo, ungene kuyo yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli. ( Hezekeli 5:1-4 )

Ukuhlasela kokuqala okunombhalo othi “shisa ngomlilo ingxenye yesithathu phakathi komuzi” kufana noHezekeli 9, njengoba ukuhlasela kuphakathi komuzi nalapho.

Wathi kwabanye ezindlebeni zami: Hambani nimlandele edolobheni, nibulale, iso lenu lingahawukeli, ningabi nazwelo; kodwa ningasondeli kumuntu okukuye uphawu; niqale endlini yami engcwele. Baqala-ke emadodeni amadala aphambi kwendlu. (UHezekeli 9: 5-6)

Yilabo kuphela abanophawu lukaMoya oNgcwele emabunzini abo abayovikelwa. Namuhla singakwazi ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwesibonakaliso esatholwa yilabo ababubula futhi bakhala ngezinengiso ezenziwa emzini kanye nophawu lwabayi-144,000. Isibonakaliso sokububula nokukhala okuyovikela kulokhu kuhlasela kwamacilongo samukelwa abakhethiwe babangu-144,000 XNUMX kanye nabafel’ ukholo abakhethwe uNkulunkulu, ngoba ababona abezizwe ezimbi eziyizihlubuki abalahlekelwa ukuphila kwabo kulezahlulelo. Abafel’ ukholo kamuva bazofakaza ngokufa kwabo eNkantolo Yamacala Ezihlubuki yamaJesuit evuselelwe njengoba bemelana nomthetho wangeSonto.

Uphawu lwabangu-144,000 luyisandiso salolu phawu. Sizobhekana nakho manje engxenyeni yokugcina yalesi sihloko.

Uphawu lwabayi-144,000

U-Ellen G. White wabona imininingwane mayelana nophawu olufiswayo lwabayi-144,000 embonweni wakhe wokuqala:

Ngalesi sikhathi abangu-144,000 base bevalwe uphawu futhi behlangene ngokuphelele. Emabunzini abo kwakulotshwe ukuthi. UNkulunkulu, Jerusalema Elisha, futhi inkanyezi ekhazimulayo equkethe igama elisha likaJesu. [IsAmbulo 3:12.]... {I-WLF 14.3}

Qhathanisa izici zayo nezici zesAmbulo 3:12:

Onqobayo ngiyakumenza insika ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wami, angabe esaphuma futhi: futhi ngizobhala phezu kwakhe. igama likaNkulunkulu wami, futhi igama lomuzi kaNkulunkulu wami, oyiJerusalema elisha, owehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu wami; futhi ngizobhala phezu kwakhe igama lami elisha. (IsAmbulo 3: 12)

Manje zibuze:

Uyalazi igama elisha likaJesu? Ingabe uyayazi inkanyezi emele Yena futhi ephakathi newashi? Uyamazi uJesu isici somlingiswa esibaluleke kakhulu, emaphakathi nendawo yonke? Ungakwazi yini ukufinyelela eziphethweni ngawe nangobuntu bakho—okufanele bufane noKristu, noma obufana nobukaKristu—ngokuphathelene nokuthi imuphi umhlatshelo okumelwe ulungele ukuwenza njengomunye wabangu-144,000?

Uyazi ukuthi kungani igama lomuzi kaNkulunkulu lilotshwe emabunzini alabo abangu-144,000 XNUMX? Uyakuqonda ukuthi umuzi ongcwele uyobe ukuphi lapho uJesu ebuya? Uyaqonda ukuthi uJesu wakwazi kanjani ukuthatha uhambo lwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa oluya eDolobheni Elingcwele e-Orion futhi emuva konke ekuseni ekuvukeni Kwakhe, ukuvakashela ithempeli likaBaba, ukubeka izono zesintu ekhethini, bese ebuya ngesikhathi ukuze abonakale futhi ahlangane nabaphostoli ekamelweni eliphezulu? Ingabe unakho ukuqonda a impahla eyisisekelo yeDolobha Elingcwele kanye neNsimu yase-Edene etholakala kuyo? (Uma kungenjalo, funda umbhalo Izithunzi Zemihlatshelo, Ingxenye II futhi.) Kodwa akugcini lapho! Niyakuqonda futhi ukuthi iJerusalema Elisha likuphi emhlabeni, nokuthi izwi likaNkulunkulu elinjengamanzi amaningi livelaphi, eliqondwa yizi-144,000 kuphela? Ingabe uyaziqonda ngempela izihloko mayelana Izwi likaNkulunkulu futhi Ukushintsha Indawo, futhi ingabe ngempela uqondisa izindlebe zakho ohlangothini lwaseParaguay?

Ingabe uyasazi imfanelo noma isimilo (igama) likaNkulunkulu uBaba, esafihliwe, futhi okufanele simbulwe kuwe nguMoya oNgcwele? Ingabe uyaqonda ukuthi uzobekwa uphawu kuphela uma unalolu lwazi? Ukufunda amakhasi ethu kuyasiza, kodwa uMoya oNgcwele kufanele akuthathe futhi uvunyelwe ukuhlala kuwe ukuze uthole ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yophawu oluphindwe kathathu lomunye wabayi-144,000. Ngalokho, kufanele ube yizitsha ezihlanzekile futhi wamukele iseluleko osinikezwe endleleni ye-Orion. Kufanele uqale ngezinto ezincane—njengokudla kwakho nendlela yokugqoka—uma ufuna ukuthola uphawu oluhloniphekile lukaNkulunkulu. Kodwa ngaphezu kwalokho, kumelwe uzimisele ukuzidela ojabulisa uBaba futhi ofakazele ukuthi uye wafana ngempela neNdodana yaKhe ethandekayo.

Umfowethu uRobert wathi ngizobhala ngalokhu. Manje sengikwenzile. Ngethemba ukuthi angihambanga kakhulu, futhi angikavezi kini ukuthi siyini lesi sici sesimilo sikaNkulunkulu uBaba esingaziwa. Kodwa angifuni ukukuyeka, futhi ngikutshele esikucabangayo. Uhlobo lokuqala olukhulu lukaKristu eBhayibhelini kwakungeyena omunye ngaphandle kukaMose, futhi ingoma kaMose iyohlatshelelwa yibo bonke abahlengiweyo ezulwini ngolunye usuku ngemva kokubuya kwesibili kukaJesu:

Ngabona kungathi ulwandle lwengilazi [i-Orion Nebula] ihlanganiswe nomlilo [kusuka ku-Betelgeuse supernova]: nabasinqobileyo isilo, nomfanekiso waso, nophawu lwaso, nenombolo yegama laso, bemi elwandle lwengilazi, bephethe amahabhu kaNkulunkulu. Futhi bahlabelela ingoma kaMose inceku kaNkulunkulu, nesihlabelelo seWundlu, sithi: Mikhulu, iyamangalisa imisebenzi yakho, Nkosi Nkulunkulu Somandla; zilungile, ziqinisile izindlela zakho, Nkosi yabangcwele. ( IsAmbulo 15:2-3 )

Kodwa abangu-144,000 XNUMX kufanele bafunde ingoma entsha, okuyinto kuphela abakwaziyo:

Futhi bacula sengathi ingoma entsha phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, naphambi kwezidalwa ezine eziphilayo, namalunga: futhi akekho owayekwazi ukufunda lelohubo ngaphandle ikhulu namashumi amane nane abayizinkulungwane, abahlengiwe emhlabeni. ( IsAmbulo 14:3 )

Izidalwa ezine eziphilayo nabadala abangu-24 bewashi le-Orion bacula ingoma entsha ekunikezelweni kwencwadi carillon ngo-1844. Yilabo kuphela abaqaphela incwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa nokubaluleka kwayo njengewashi Elikhulu Lesikhathi e-Orion ababengakwazi ukufunda leli culo:

Futhi bona [izidalwa ezine eziphilayo = izandla zewashi, kanye nabadala abangu-24 = isondo lewashi lewashi le-Orion] sicule ingoma entsha, ethi: “Ufanele ukuthatha incwadi nokuvula izimpawu zayo, ngokuba wahlatshwa, wasihlengela uNkulunkulu ngegazi lakho abavela kuzo zonke izizwana, nezilimi, nabantu, nezizwe; ( IsAmbulo 5:9 )

Kodwa funda umbhalo wencazelo yengoma ngokuningiliziwe! Kungani uJesu avunyelwa ukuba athole incwadi? “Ngokuba wahlatshwa, wahlenga abantu ngegazi laKhe.” Ingabe ucabanga ukuthi uyovunyelwa ukuba ingxenye yabangu-144,000 144,000 ngenxa nje yokuthi waqaphela iwashi le-Orion njengeliyiqiniso? Cha, bangane bami. Izulu alishibhile kangako. Kungani ingoma kaMose endala iqhathaniswa nengoma entsha yabangu-144,000 XNUMX kusAmbulo? Yini uMose ayenza njengomfuziselo kaKristu okwakumelwe yenziwe ngabangu-XNUMX XNUMX nabo?

UMose wayemkhulu kunabo bonke ababephila ngaphambi kwakhe. Wayehlonishwe kakhulu nguNkulunkulu, enelungelo lokukhuluma neNkosi ubuso nobuso, njengomuntu ekhuluma nomngane. Wavunyelwa ukuba abone ukukhanya okukhazimulayo nenkazimulo enhle kakhulu eyayisibekele uBaba. UJehova wakhulula abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ebugqilini baseGibhithe ngoMose. UMose wayenjalo umlamuleli wabantu bakhe, kaningi ukuma phakathi kwabo nolaka lukaNkulunkulu. Lapho intukuthelo kaJehova ivuthela u-Israyeli kakhulu ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo, nokukhonona kwabo, nezono zabo ezimbi, Uthando lukaMose ngabo lwavivinywa. UNkulunkulu wacabanga ukubabhubhisa futhi amenze isizwe esinamandla. UMose wabonisa uthando lwakhe ngo-Israyeli ngokubancengela kwakhe ngobuqotho. Ekuhluphekeni kwakhe wakhuleka kuNkulunkulu ukuba abuye entukuthelweni yakhe evuthayo, athethelele u-Israyeli, noma asule igama lakhe encwadini yaKhe. {I-EW 162.3}

Cabanga nje ngakho! Yini ngempela uMose ayinikela ukuze uJehova aphenduke olakeni Lwakhe kubantu baKhe? Ingabe kwakuwukuphila kwakhe kokuqala kwasemhlabeni, okusho ukufa enethemba lovuko? Uthini ngempela umbhalo weBhayibheli?

Kepha manje uma ubathethelela isono sabo; futhi uma kungenjalo, ngisuse, ngiyakuncenga, encwadini yakho okulobileyo. (Eksodusi 32: 32)

Ukwesulwa komuntu encwadini yokuphila kusho ukufa kwesibili, ukungabibikho kwaphakade: alikho izulu, akukho kuthokoza, akukho ukwesulwa kwezinyembezi, akukho ntokozo yaphakade nentokozo—kuphela ubuthongo obumnyama, obungazi lutho futhi obungenaphupho bokwehlukana ngokuphelele noNkulunkulu othandekayo wokuphila. Yilokho uMose akunikela, futhi yilokho futhi uJesu ahlupheka ngakho ngenxa yethu:

UNkulunkulu kuKristu wazinikela ngenxa yezono zethu. Wahlupheka ngokufa okunonya kwesiphambano [the "ukufa kwesibili" ukuthi zonke izoni ezingaphenduki kufanele ngelinye ilanga zihlupheke (IsAmbulo 20:13-15)], wasithwalela umthwalo wecala, “olungileyo kwabangalungile,” ukuze Asembulele uthando Lwakhe futhi asisondeze kuYe....Idatha ye-298.2}

UNkulunkulu akazange awamukele umhlatshelo owanikelwa uMose, wavusa noJesu ekufeni kwesibili. UMose wathatha icala labantu bakwa-Israyeli phezu kwakhe, njengoba uJesu ethatha icala lesintu esiwile phezu Kwakhe. Kumelwe silungele ukuhlupheka ukufa okuphakade ngenxa yabantu bethu abawile, isintu esiwile, kanye nendawo yonke engawile egcwele ukuphila okungenacala. Khona-ke kungafakazelwa ukuthi amandla egazi likaJesu angaveza ngempela ofakazi beqiniso bokulunga kukaBaba. Akekho umuntu okuwukuphela kwakhe okukhathalela ukuya ezulwini engakuboni ukufa oyokwazi ukuba yingxenye yabangu-144,000 XNUMX. Ngokuphambene nalokho, kufanele alungele ukubeka ukuphila kwakhe okuphakade e-altare lomhlatshelo wendawo yonke, futhi azibeke engozini yokungazuzi ngempela ohlelweni lokuhlengwa njengomuntu ngamunye—konke lokhu ngenxa yothando ngezitha zakhe, nangezidalwa angakaze azibone ngaphandle kwamehlo okholo.

Nakuba inzondo nokuklolodela kuphonswa kithina abafowethu, wonke amalungu esithangami anikele izifungo zawo futhi anikela kuNkulunkulu ukuba asule amagama abo encwadini yokuphila ukuze abafowabo kanye nomhlaba wonke bahlale ndawonye noJesu ingunaphakade. Baye baqonda ngempela ukubiza kwabo okuphezulu.

Manje nguwe omi phambi kwesinqumo... Ingabe uzokwenza njengabafundi abangama-70 abadumaza uJesu, bethi:

Lesi isisho esinzima; ngubani ongakuzwa na? ( Johane 6:60 )

... noma uzolandela uJesu, owangena endaweni eNgcwelengcwele negazi lakhe njengomanduleli wakho:

Ngoba lapho itestamente [isitifiketi, inkontileka, isifungo] ukuthi, kufanele futhi kube khona ukufa komenzi wesivumelwano. ( Hebheru 9:16 )

Uyaqonda manje ukuthi kungani u-Ellen G. White ebona embonweni wakhe wokuqala ukuthi...

Lapho sesizongena ethempelini elingcwele, uJesu waphakamisa izwi Lakhe elithandekayo wathi, “Bayi-144,000 kuphela abangena kule ndawo,” futhi samemeza, “Aleluya.” {I-EW 18.2}

Manje noma ungalokothi, idinga ukushunyayelwa yonke indawo:

“Phaphama, vuka; gqoka amandla akho, Siyoni; gqoka izingubo zakho ezinhle, Jerusalema, muzi ongcwele. . . . Yeka ukuthi zinhle kangakanani ezintabeni izinyawo zoletha izindaba ezinhle, omemezela ukuthula, oletha izindaba ezinhle zokuhle, omemezela insindiso; othi kulo iZiyoni: UNkulunkulu wakho uyabusa. Abalindi bakho bayakuliphakamisa izwi; bayakuhlabelela ngezwi kanyekanye, ngokuba bayakubona iso ngeso, lapho uJehova ebuyisa iSiyoni.

“Jabulani ngokujabula, nihlabelele kanyekanye, nina manxiwa aseJerusalema, ngokuba uJehova ubaduduzile abantu bakhe, ulihlengile iJerusalema. INkosi yambulile ingalo yayo engcwele emehlweni ezizwe zonke; yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba iyakubona insindiso kaNkulunkulu wethu.” Isaya 52:1-10 . {3TT 342.2–3}
