Ishicilelwe ekuqaleni ngoLwesibili, Juni 4, 2013, 1:04 am ngesiJalimane ngo www.letztercountdown.org
In the ingxenye yokuqala yalolu chungechunge mayelana nolaka lukaNkulunkulu, ngabonisa eBhayibhelini ukuthi izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina ziyovelaphi. IsAmbulo 15:7 sibonisa ukuthi izitsha zezinhlupho ziyonikwa izingelosi eziyisikhombisa ngesinye sezidalwa ezine eziphilayo, esiziphawulile encwadini. Umlayezo we-Orion njengezinkanyezi ezine zezandla nezinyawo eziphawula amanxeba kaJesu. Lapho sesizwile ukuthi yisandla sokunene sikaJesu esiyofeza impindiselo Yakhe ezizweni, salandela inkomba yeBetelgeuse futhi safunda eBhayibhelini. ingxenye yesibili ukuthi lesi sikhulu esibomvu empeleni sesizoqhuma njengohlobo lwe-II supernova. Maningi amathuba okuthi iqhume i-gamma ray, okuthi—uma iqondiswe emhlabeni—iqede yonke into ephilayo kule planethi phakathi nonyaka. Izithombe zakamuva zezindawo ezishisayo zaseBetelgeuse zisikisela ukuthi ososayensi badlulisa umuzwa ongamanga wokulondeka, besho ngamazwi abo okuthi i-axis yokuzungeza yalesi silo ayiqondiswanga emhlabeni.
Kule ngxenye yokugcina, ngizobe ngibopha iziphetho ezixekethile futhi ngikuchazele ukuthi kanjani futhi nini iSonto Lama-Adventist, kanye namanye amabandla ahlubuka ngokulinganayo athi anokholo lukaJesu Kristu, athola isibonakaliso sesibili nesokugcina sikaJona ngo-April 27, 2013. Kwakuyilesi sibonakaliso uJesu ake athembisa ngaso esinye isizukulwane esingathembekile, okungukuthi ama-Israyeli. Limele isixwayiso sokugcina, ngaleso sikhathi namanje, kulabo ababeneqiniso phambi kwamehlo abo iminyaka emithathu nengxenye futhi abasalindele ezinye izibonakaliso ezivela ezulwini...
Kodwa [uJesu] waphendula, wathi kubo: An isizukulwane esibi nesiphingayo ufuna isibonakaliso; futhi kuyoba khona akukho uphawu kunikwe yona, kodwa isibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. (Mathewu 12: 39)
Naphezu kwezimpendulo ezimbalwa ezinhle esihlokweni sethu sokugcina, amanye ama-imeyili agcwele ukukhathazeka afika kimi evela “kumaKristu” okuthiwa akhathazeke ngokusindiswa kwawo kuphela. Esikhundleni sokuthuthukisa ukuqonda ukuthi yini injongo yethu ekuphileni ngempela futhi kusho ukuthini ukuba ngumfundi kaJesu weqiniso ngokutadisha amakhulu amaningi amakhasi esiwashicilele lapha, besaba kuphela ukusindiswa kwemiphefumulo yabo edabukisayo. Abanye bavele bahlasele isihloko bachithe konke esikubhalile bathi umbhedo ophelele esikhundleni sokufuna ukwazi ukuthi yini okumele bayenze ukuze babalekele lezi zifo. Kodwa iningi wenza lokho ama-Israyeli akwenza lapho u-Eliya ebhekana nawo ngokukhetha:
U-Eliya wayesesondela kubo bonke abantu, wathi: “Koze kube nini nimanqikanqika phakathi kwezinhlangothi ezimbili na? uma uJehova enguNkulunkulu, mlandeleni yena; kepha uma kunguBali, mlandeleni yena. Abantu bamphendula hhayi izwi. (Amakhosi we-1 18: 21)
Ukuze siqede ukuthula, ngezinye izikhathi sithola amazwi avela kulabo okuthiwa amaProthestani akholelwa eBhayibhelini anjengokuthi “Bonke ososayensi bathi iBetelgeuse ayinayo ingozi! Umuntu ovamile onjengawe akufanele afune okuphambene nalokho!” Kanjalo bayawaphika amazwi angaveli kimi, kodwa avela kuNkulunkulu. Ngikushiyela ngokuzethemba eNkosini uqobo Lwayo obona enhliziyweni yomuntu ukuthi ahlulele ukuthi usabela ngenxa yokwesaba noma ukwethuka noma ubuwula nje. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi indawo yonke iqondwa kancane kancane ososayensi, futhi amazwi eZwi likaNkulunkulu ahlobanisa izinhlupho nolaka lukaNkulunkulu nezenzakalo zasendaweni yonke ngokusobala awakacaci kwabaningi. Ngakho-ke, ngenza umzamo wokugcina ukuyichaza kulabo abasenezindlebe nezinhliziyo ezivulekile.
U-Orion Ungumbungazi ovelele
Kusilayidi 168 se Isethulo se-Orion, ngadonsela ukunaka kwenu kusukela ngo-2010 encazelweni ye-Orion ebilokhu ikhona cishe kuzo zonke izizwe zasendulo. Ngabonisa ukuthi kunokuhlobana okukhethekile namavesi amabili eBhayibheli abalulekile:
Nalapha futhi, akekho kini owaba nombono wokubeka umcibisholo emnsalweni ukuze abone ukuthi yisiphi isandla esingawudubula.
Yebo, isandla somcibisholo ngokusobala siyi-Betelgeuse! Futhi njengoba manje usuyazi imvelo kanye nemiphumela yokuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray, ungaqonda kalula ukuthi umcibisholo ovuthayo oqondiswe ohlangothini oluthile futhi odutshulwa emnsalweni uwumfanekiso ophelele wesenzakalo esibi esiza phezu kwesintu esivela eBetelgeuse.
Ake sithathe indlela ephambene: Ingabe akhona amavesi eBhayibhelini, ngaphandle kwesAmbulo 6:2, lapho uNkulunkulu esebenzisa umfanekiso womnsalo nomcibisholo ukuze akhiphe impindiselo Yakhe? Ingabe akhona amavesi ahlobanisa umcibisholo nokubaneka kombani, noma umbani (ukuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray)?
Lapho nginakho uJuda ogobile kwami, wagcwalisa umnsalo kanye no-Efrayimi, ngivusele amadodana akho, Siyoni, phezu kwamadodana akho, Greece, wakwenza njengenkemba yeqhawe. Futhi uJehova uyakuba kubonakala phezu kwabo, futhi wakhe arrow lizaphuma njengombani: iNkosi uJehova ivuthele umoya [yesithupha] icilongo, lihambe nezivunguvungu zaseningizimu. UJehova Sebawoti uyakubavikela; futhi bayakushwabadela [the enemy by fire], futhi ninqobe ngamatshe endwayimana [inhlupho yesikhombisa]; bayakuphuza, benze umsindo [injabulo yokunqoba] kungathi ngewayini; bayakugcwaliswa njengezitsha [ngegazi], nanjengamagumbi e-altare. UJehova uNkulunkulu wabo uyakubasindisa ngalolo suku njengomhlambi wabantu bakhe; ngokuba bayakuba njengamatshe omqhele, aphakanyiswe njengebhanela ezweni lakhe. (Funda uZakariya 9:13-16.)
Leli vesi libhekisela ngokuqondile esikhathini sezinhlupho, ngoba uJehova uyosindisa umhlambi wabantu Bakhe ngalolo suku [= unyaka wezinhlupho]. UDaniyeli 12:1 ngokufanayo uthi:
Ngaleso sikhathi uMikayeli uyakusukuma, isikhulu esikhulu elimele abantwana babantu bakho; kuyakuba khona isikhathi sosizi esingakaze sibe khona kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kwakukhona isizwe kuze kube yileso sikhathi: futhi ngaleso sikhathi abantu bakho bayakukhululwa, wonke ozafunyanwa elotshiwe egwalweni. ( Daniyeli 12:1 )
U-Ellen G. White akashiyi kungabaza ukuthi iNkosana uMikayeli ifanekisela uJesu, oyobe esewuqedile umsebenzi Wakhe wokukhulumela endlini engcwele yasezulwini ngesikhathi kuqala izinhlupho:
Ngabona ukuthi ulaka lwezizwe, nolaka lukaNkulunkulu, nesikhathi sokwahlulela abafileyo kwehlukene, omunye elandela omunye, nokuthi Michael yayingakasukumi, nokuthi isikhathi sosizi, esingakaze sibe khona, sasingakaqali. Izizwe ziyathukuthela manje, kodwa lapho umPristi wethu oMkhulu eseqedile umsebenzi wakhe endlini engcwele, uyosukuma, embethe izingubo zokuphindisela, bese kuthululwa izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina. {I-EW 36.1}
Kusukela ngo-1844, uMcibisholo kaNkulunkulu ubulokhu ubanjwe phakathi nezikhathi ezine ezihlanganisa inkonzo kaJesu yokuncenga:
Ngabona izingelosi ezine ezazinomsebenzi okufanele wenziwe emhlabeni, futhi zazisendleleni ukuze ziwufeze. UJesu wembethe izingubo zobupristi. Wagqolozela insali ngokuhawukela; 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. Ngase ngibona ingelosi inomyalo ovela kuJesu, indiza ngesivinini, isiya ezingelosini ezine ezazinomsebenzi wokuwenza emhlabeni, iphakamisa isandla sayo phezulu naphansi, imemeza ngezwi elikhulu. "Bamba! Bamba! Bamba! Bamba! kuze kube yilapho izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zibekwe uphawu emabunzini azo.” {I-EW 38.1}
Lapho bonke abafel’ ukholo nabangu-144,000 XNUMX sebebekwe uphawu, khona-ke uJesu uyokhumula izingubo Zakhe zobupristi futhi adedele umcibisholo waKhe wempindiselo ovuthayo phezu kwaso sonke isintu.
Vuka, Jehova, ngentukuthelo yakho; Phakamisa ulaka lwezitha zami; Ngisukume ngiye kwe ukwahlulela obayalile! Ibandla lezizwe liyakukuhaqa; Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yabo, buyelani phezulu. UJehova uyakwahlulela abantu; Ngahlulele, Jehova, ngokulunga kwami, nangobuqotho bami obuphakathi kwami. Mabuphele ububi bababi; Kodwa qinisa abalungileyo; Ngokuba uNkulunkulu olungileyo uhlola izinhliziyo nezingqondo. Isivikelo sami sivela kuNkulunkulu, osindisa abaqotho ngenhliziyo. UNkulunkulu ungumahluleli olungileyo, uNkulunkulu uthukuthelela ababi imihla ngemihla. Uma engabuyi, uyakulola inkemba yakhe; Uyawugoba umnsalo waKhe awulungise. Ubuye azilungisele amathuluzi okufa; Wenza imicibisholo Yakhe ibe yimigodi evuthayo. (Funda iHubo 7:6-13.)
Abantu bakaNkulunkulu kuphela abayokwazi ukubekezela phakathi nesiphithiphithi solaka Lwakhe.
UJehova waduma ezulwini, oPhezukonke walizwakalisa izwi lakhe; isichotho namalahle omlilo. Yebo, wathumela imicibisholo yakhe, wabahlakaza; futhi yena kwadubula imibani, futhi wabaphazamisa. Kwase kubonakala imisele yamanzi, kwambulwa izisekelo zomhlaba ngokusola kwakho, Jehova, ngokufutha komoya wamakhala akho. Wathumela evela phezulu. wangithatha, wangikhipha emanzini amaningi. Wangikhulula esitheni sami esinamandla; nakulabo abangizondayo, ngokuba babenamandla kunami. ( IHubo 18:13-17 )
Baphenya ububi; baphenya ngenkuthalo: kokubili umcabango ongaphakathi wabo ngamunye nenhliziyo kujulile. Kodwa UNkulunkulu uyakubacibishela ngomcibisholo; ngokuzumayo bayakulinyazwa. Bazakwenza olwabo ulimi luwele phezu kwabo, bonke abababonayo babaleke. Bonke abantu bayakwesaba, bashumayele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu; ngokuba bayakuqaphela ukwenza kwakhe. Olungileyo uyakuthokoza ngoJehova, athembele kuye; bonke abaqotho ngenhliziyo bayakuzibonga. ( IHubo 64:6-10 )
Ukubonakaliswa okubi kakhulu kunalokhu okwake kwabonwa umhlaba, kuyobonakala ekufikeni kwesibili kukaKristu. “Izintaba ziyazamazama phambi kwakhe, namagquma ayancibilika; Ngubani ongema phambi kwentukuthelo Yakhe? ngubani ongahlala ekuvutheni kolaka lwakhe na?” Nahume 1:5, 6. “Thobisa amazulu akho, Jehova, wehle, thinta izintaba, zithunqe. Phonsa ngaphandle umbani, ubahlakaze: dubula owakho imicibisholo, futhi ubabhubhise.” IHubo 144:5, 6 .
“Ngiyakwenza izimangaliso ezulwini phezulu, nezibonakaliso emhlabeni phansi; igazi, nomlilo, nentuthu yomusi.” IzEnzo 2:19 . “Kwaba khona amazwi, nokuduma, futhi imibani; kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu okungazange kube khona okunjalo selokhu kwaba khona abantu emhlabeni, ukuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla okungaka.” “Zonke iziqhingi zabaleka, nezintaba azatholwa. Kwase kwehlela phezu kwabantu isichotho esikhulu sivela ezulwini, ilitshe ngalinye lingaba isisindo setalenta.” IsAmbulo 16:18, 20, 21 .
Njengombani ovela ezulwini zihlangana nomlilo emhlabeni, izintaba ziyovutha njengeziko, zithulule imifudlana esabekayo yodaka, izivande namasimu, imizana nemizi. Izixuku ezincibilikile ezincibilikisiwe eziphonswe emifuleni ziyobangela amanzi ukuba abile, zikhiphe amadwala amakhulu ngobudlova obungachazeki futhi ahlakaze izingcezu zawo eziphukile emhlabeni. Imifula iyokoma. Umhlaba uyozamazama; kuyo yonke indawo kuyoba nokuzamazama komhlaba okwesabekayo nokuqhuma.
Kanjalo uNkulunkulu uyobhubhisa ababi emhlabeni. Kodwa abalungileyo bayolondolozwa phakathi kwalezi zinxushunxushu, njengoba uNowa alondolozwa emkhunjini. UNkulunkulu uyoba yisiphephelo sabo, futhi ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe bayothembela. Umhubi uthi: “Ngokuba umenzile uJehova, oyisiphephelo sami, oPhezukonke waba yindawo yakho yokuhlala; akukho okubi akuyikwehlela. IHubo 91:9, 10. “Ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka uyakungithukusa edokodweni lakhe, angithukuse ekusithekeni kwetende lakhe.” IHubo 27:5 . Isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu sithi, “Ngenxa yokuthi ebeke uthando lwakhe Kimi, ngakho ngizomkhulula; ulazi igama lami.” IHubo 91:14. {PP 109.3–110.3}
Akekho oyoba nezaba, ngoba lezi zinto zembulwe nguNkulunkulu ezulwini. Wonke umuntu ubengaqonda ngezinto uNkulunkulu azenzile emazulwini ukuthi yena ngokwakhe wavimba iqiniso lomlayezo wengelosi yesine ngokungalungi kwakhe...
Ngoba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lubonakalisiwe ezulwini ngokumelene nakho konke ukungamesabi uNkulunkulu nokungalungi kwabantu abaphatha iqiniso ngokungalungi; Ngoba lokho okwaziwayo ngoNkulunkulu kusobala kubo; ngoba uNkulunkulu ukubonakalisile kubo. Ngoba okungabonwayo kwakhe kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba kukhona kubonakala ngokucacile, kuqondwa ngezinto ezenziwe, ngisho amandla akhe aphakade nobuNkulunkulu bakhe; ukuze bangabi lezaba; (KwabaseRoma 1: 18-20)
Isililo Sempindiselo
Kunzima kwabanye abantu ukuqonda ukuthi uma imisebe ye-cosmic kanye nokuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray kufika lapha ngo-Okthoba ka-2015, i-Betelgeuse kufanele ukuthi yaqhuma njenge-supernova kudala. Ukuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray kuhamba ngesivinini esiphezulu ngangokunokwenzeka endaweni yonke, isivinini sokukhanya. Ngisho nangejubane elingakholeki elingaka elingamakhilomitha angu-186,000 XNUMX ngomzuzwana, ukukhanya ngokwako kusadinga iminyaka engaphezu kwamakhulu ayisithupha ukuze ufike lapha usuka eBetelgeuse. Uma sibheka izinkanyezi, sibheka esikhathini esidlule; lapho inkanyezi ikude, sibheka emuva esikhathini.
Ilanga lethu liqhele ngamaminithi angu-600. Lokho kusho ukuthi uma sibheka ilanga, sibheka imizuzu eyisishiyagalolunye edlule. Nge-Sirius, sibheka cishe eminyakeni eyisishiyagalolunye emuva, futhi nge-Betelgeuse ingaphezu kweminyaka engu-XNUMX. Ngeshwa, ibanga eliya e-Betelgeuse linzima kakhulu ukulikala. Yilokho okubizwa ngokuthi inkanyezi eguquguqukayo ubukhulu bayo buyahlukahluka okwenza kube nzima ukunquma ibanga layo. Sinamacebiso (engizoxoxa ngawo kamuva kulesi sihloko) asenza sicabange lokho I-Betelgeuse iqhelelene ne-Orion Nebula njengoba iqhelelene nathi.
Ibanga eliya e-Orion Nebula liyiminyaka engu-1344 yokukhanya, enqunywe ngokunemba okungu-± 20 weminyaka yokukhanya. Ibanga eliya eBetelgeuse nabo bonke ubunzima bayo, nokho, licashunwa ngu Wikipedia njengeminyaka engu-640 ± 150 yokukhanya. Ukungaqiniseki okukhulu kuvumela ibanga elibanzi noma kuphi ukusuka ku-490 kuya ku-790 light-year away. Ngokwesisekelo esingenhla sokuthi iBetelgeuse iphakathi kwethu ne-Orion Nebula, kumelwe ukuba iqhelelene nama-light-year angu-640. Ibanga elincane lingaba (1344 - 20) ÷ 2 = 662 light-year, kodwa njengoba i-Betelgeuse ingekho ncamashi emzileni wokubona phakathi koMhlaba ne-Orion Nebula, ibanga lingaba likhulu kancane. Sithathe inkathazo ukuyibala sisebenzisa izixhumanisi zezinkanyezi futhi safika ebangeni elincane elingu-681 kanye nebanga eliphakeme lama-light-year angama-702. Uma kubhekwa lolo hlu, iminyaka engu-700 yokukhanya iwukuqagela okuphephile, isengaphakathi kwebanga leminyaka yokukhanya engu-640 ± 150 elinikezwe Wikipedia.
Ngakho-ke iBetelgeuse yayiyoqhuma nini njenge-supernova? 2015 - 700 iminyaka = Ngo-AD 1315.
Engxenyeni yokuqala yalolu chungechunge, ngishilo ukuthi imiphefumulo engaphansi kwe-altare ibilokhu ikhalela impindiselo kusukela uphawu lwesihlanu lwakudala. Nakuba abahumushi bethu bama-Adventist (ngokuthile) babeka isikhathi sophawu lwesihlanu kusukela ku-1571 kuya ku-1755 (bheka Umlando Uyaphinda - Ingxenye II), sazi kangcono kuBetelgeuse kumlaza we-Orion.
Sazi kangcono ngomlando, futhi. Isihloko esithi John Wycliffe, inkanyezi yokusa yeNguquko ngokunembile kusibuyisela ekuzalweni kweNguquko nasemibhoshongweni yokuqala yokushiswa kwabaguquli. Leso sikhathi siphawulwa ngokunembile yi-Betelgeuse supernova. Njengoba ukuzalwa kukaJohn Wycliffe kungaziwa kahle, imithombo eminingi ikubeka “kungakedluli u-1330”. Unyaka wokufa kwakhe, nokho, waziwa njenge-1384.
Izikhathi zikaWyclif
Isazi-mlando, u-de Sismondi, sabiza ikhulu le-14 ngokuthi “isikhathi esibi esintwini.” Akazange enze ihaba. Iningi lamaNgisi lalingakwazi ukufunda, futhi labo ababekwazi ukufunda babekwenza lokho ngesiLatini, ulimi lwezihlakaniphi nolwesonto. IBhayibheli nalo lalingesiLatini. Kodwa njengoba umshini wokunyathelisa wawungakatholakali (wonke amaBhayibheli ayekopishwe ngesandla), izindleko zenza ukuba kungatholakali wonke umuntu ngaphandle kwabacebile. Cishe akekho owayekucabangele lokhu umqondo wokuhlubuka yenguqulo yesiNgisi. Kulabo abenze, umcabango we ukuvutha esigxotsheni ngokushesha wapholisa ukufutheka kwabo.
UWycliffe naye uchazwa njengomsunguli weNguquko ka-Ellen G. White:
Ngekhulu leshumi nane kwavela eNgilandi "inkanyezi yasekuseni weNguquko.” KwakunguJohn Wycliffe ummemezeli wezinguquko, hhayi eNgilandi kuphela, kodwa kulo lonke eLobukholwa. Umbhikisho omkhulu owawumelene neRoma owawuvunyelwe ukuba awusho wawungasoze wavalwa. Lowo mbhikisho wavula umshikashika okwakuzophumela ekukhululweni kwabantu ngabanye, kwamasonto, nezizwe. {I-GC 80.1}
Encwadini yakhe Ingozi, Uhlelo kanye Nokuduka - Umlando Wentuthuko Eshintsha Umhlaba, umbhali uHartmut Bossel usho okulandelayo [u-S. 66, elihunyushwe]:
Ngekhulu le-14, ukushushiswa kwabasolwa 'bangamahlubuka' yiNkantolo Yamacala Ezihlubuki yeSonto LamaKatolika kwafinyelela ekuhlakanipheni. ukuphakama okusha konya. Ushushiso lwaluqondiswe ikakhulukazi kumaWaldenses, amaBeguines kanye nezihlakaniphi ezigxekayo. Umshisekeli wenguquko oyiNgisi uJohn Wycliffe, izimfundiso zakhe kamuva zaba nethonya kumgqugquzeli wezinguquko waseCzech uJohn Huss, waphunyuka ekushushisweni ngenxa yokuthi iNkosi yaseNgilandi yayithanda ukuzimela okukhulu eSontweni LaseRoma.
Ngaphansi kweNkantolo Yamacala Ezihlubuki elokhu iba yimbi kakhulu, ukushiswa kokuqala okurekhodiwe kwezihlubuki senzeka eBohemia (manje eyiCzech Republic) ePrague ngonyaka 1315. Abantu abangu-14 bashiswa ngokubambisana nombhishobhi wendawo (umthombo: German Wikipedia). Unyaka esibale ngawo ukuqhuma kweBetelgeuse uqondana ncamashi nalolo suku. Kwashiwo emiphefumulweni engaphansi kwe-altare ukuthi “Basazophumula isikhashana, kuze kugcwaliseke izinceku ezikanye nabo nabafowabo ababezobulawa njengabo.” ( IsAmbulo 6:11 ) UNkulunkulu uyathanda ukusebenzisa ukuphindaphinda kwenani leBhayibheli lokupheleliswa kuKristu, ngakho akufanele kusimangaze ukuthi inani eliyindilinga leminyaka yokukhanya engu-700, esilikhethile, empeleni limelela isilinganiso esinembile sebanga lenkanyezi Yakhe yempindiselo.
Labo bafel’ ukholo babulawa ngomlilo, ngaleyondlela ngomlilo ukubulawa emhlabeni kuyoqedwa unomphela—kulokhu ngokuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray. Ngeke kusaba abafel’ ukholo lapho kuqala usizi olukhulu, ngoba ngeke kube khona oyoguqulwa ngegazi labo. Leso sikhathi kwakhulunywa ngaso kanje:
Ukuphela kuyofika ngokushesha kunokuba amadoda alindele. Ukolweni uyobuthwa futhi uboshwe ngezithungu enqolobaneni kaNkulunkulu; ukhula luyoboshwa lube njengefagos for the imililo yokubhubhisa.
Abalindi basezulwini, abathembekile ekuthembekeni kwabo, bayaqhubeka nokulinda. Nakuba umthetho ovamile usimisile isikhathi lapho abagcini bemiyalo bengase babulawe, izitha zabo kwezinye izimo ziyowulindela kusengaphambili lowo myalo, futhi ngaphambi kwesikhathi esibekiwe, ziyozama ukuzibulala. Kodwa akekho ongadlula abaqaphi abanamandla abamiswe kuyo yonke imiphefumulo ethembekile. Abanye bayahlaselwa ekubalekeni kwabo emadolobheni nasemizaneni; kepha izinkemba eziphakanyiselwe kubo ziyaphuka, ziwe zingenamandla njengotshani. Abanye bavikelwa izingelosi ezingamadoda empi. {GC 630.2–631.1}
Labo abasakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyowushintsha umqondo Wakhe futhi amise umbuso weminyaka eyinkulungwane wokuthula eMhlabeni wawo wonke umuntu (ngisho nakwabangakholelwa kuNkulunkulu ngokusho kukapapa omusha) kufanele ekugcineni baqonde ukuthi isinqumo sikaNkulunkulu sokubhubhisa isintu asenziwanga namuhla, kodwa eminyakeni engaba ngu-700 edlule lapho iSonto LamaRoma lishisa abashisekeli benguquko bokuqala. Ukube Wayekuvimbele ukuqhuma kwe-supernova ngaleso sikhathi, besingeke siyibone inkanyezi iwa namuhla—i-Betelgeuse enezindawo eziyingozi kakhulu zomlomo wayo we-GRB oqondiswe kithi ngqo.
UJehova Sebawoti ufungile, wathi: Impela njengokucabanga kwami, kuyakuba njalo; njengalokho ngihlosile, kuyakuma; ... Lena inhloso ehloselwe umhlaba wonke: futhi lesi yisandla eselulelwe phezu kwezizwe zonke. Ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti uhlosile, ngubani ongachitha na? nesandla sakhe seluliwe, ngubani ongasibuyisa na? (U-Isaya 14: 24,26-27)
“Ngenza Konke Kube Kusha”
Engxenyeni yesibili yalolu chungechunge, sifunde futhi ukuthi ukubhujiswa okubangelwa i-supernova kanye nokuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray okuhambisana nakho ngeke nje kubhubhise umhlaba futhi kuqede isintu, kodwa futhi kuyovusa isiqalo sendalo entsha. Izakhi ezisindayo esizibiza ngemithombo yemvelo, insimbi eyakha izinto zethu zokwakha nezokwakha, ngisho nekhabhoni—isici esiyisisekelo sakho konke ukuphila—konke kukhiqizwa ukuqhuma kwezinkanyezi ezinkulu. Yonke into eyenziwa ngayo isimiso sonozungezilanga wethu, iplanethi yonke enguMhlaba, ngisho nathi ngokwethu yakhiqizwa ukufa kwenkanyezi enjalo. Kulezi zikhathi zokugcina, singabona futhi siqonde ukuthi leyo yindlela kaNkulunkulu yokudala ethandwayo. (Yebo, uNkulunkulu wadala umhlaba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha njengoba nje indaba yendalo isitshela, kodwa leyo akuyona indlela Akhe ayikhethayo, esingayibona ngokubuka ukuzalwa kwezinkanyezi namaplanethi endaweni yonke.)
Kancane kancane siqala ukuqonda ukuthi uJesu wayesho ukuthini lapho ethi kuJohane:
Futhi Ngibone a new izulu kanye a new umhlaba: ngokuba izulu lokuqala nomhlaba wokuqala badlula; ulwandle lwalungasekho. Ngabona umuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema elisha, wehla uvela kuNkulunkulu ezulwini, ulungisiwe njengomlobokazi ohlotshiselwe umyeni wakhe. Ngase ngizwa izwi elikhulu livela ezulwini, lithi: Bheka, itabernakele likaNkulunkulu likubantu; UNkulunkulu uyakwesula izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo; ukufa akusayikuba-khona, nokudabuka, nokukhala, nobuhlungu akusayikuba-khona; ngoba okokuqala kudlulile. Wayesethi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi. bheka, ngenza konke kube kusha; Yathi kimi: Bhala, ngokuba lawa mazwi aqinisile, athembekile. Wathi kimi: Sekwenzekile. Mina ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphetho. Owomileyo ngiyakumnika ngesihle emthonjeni wamanzi okuphila. ( IsAmbulo 21:1-6 )
uJesu is impilo! Uyisiqalo nesiphetho, futhi isiphetho Ngaye asifiki ngaphandle kwesiqalo esisha. Noma isandla Sakhe sokunene sizobhubhisa abangaphenduki, siphinde sidale ilanga namaplanethi amasha, futhi phakathi kwalawo izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha.
Kuvidiyo ekhuluma nge-supernovae, sifunde ukuthi indaba ekhishwe ku-supernova ikhuthaza ukwakheka kwezinhlelo zezinkanyezi ezintsha lapho ishaya amafu amakhulu egesi asendleleni yawo. I-Great Orion Nebula ingenye yama-nebula asendaweni enyakazayo—noma kushiwo kangcono indlela eyindilinga yefu lezinto ezibonakalayo ezokhishwa kuyi-Betelgeuse supernova.
UJesu Kristu wahola umprofethi wanamuhla u-Ernie Knoll waya kule-Great Orion Nebula ngaphambi kokuwa kwakhe kwesibili. Isihloko Esandleni sikaJesu ikhombisa ukuthi lezi zikhombisi-ndlela ezilandelayo zisuka kwa-Ernie Izimoto Ezimbili iphupho lihambisana kahle nendlela umkhumbi-mkhathi ocatshangwayo ongandiza ngayo usendleleni usuka eMhlabeni uya e-Orion Nebula usebenzisa inkanyezi ngayinye yewashi le-Orion:
Ngokulandelayo i-Herald ithi izongiyisa endaweni ekhethekile. Masinyane nginoJesu. Ubambe isandla sami sokudla njengoba sihamba ephaseji elingaqondile. Sijikela kwesokudla ngezindlela, bese kwesokunxele, kwesokudla kanye kwesokunxele futhi. Iphaseji ayinazo izindonga eziyisikwele ezijwayelekile noma usilingi. Esikhundleni salokho zivela njengezibuko ezinobukhulu obuhlukene kanye nokuma futhi zibekwe ema-engeli ahlukene. Siqhubeka ngokuthula, sijike futhi siqale ukuhamba siqonde, bese sehla ngendlela yokuhamba.
Esesandleni sikaJesu, u-Ernie Knoll manje ungena kuyi-Orion Nebula, u-Ellen G. White ayibiza ngokuthi “indawo evulekile e-Orion”:
Singena endaweni engicabanga ukuthi yigumbi elikhulu kakhulu kodwa nokho ngesikhathi esifanayo ngiyazi akulona igumbi. Kunjengokungathi ngibona umthala wethu lapho iplanethi yethu izoba khona. Ngibona okubonakala kuyizibuko eziningi, eziningi kakhulu. Kukhona nezibuko ezincane ezinosayizi dime ezibekwe ezindaweni ezahlukene. Zonke izibuko azinayo indawo eyisicaba kodwa ziyindilinga ngendlela eyodwa noma enye futhi azibukhali noma aziqinile. Ngenziwa ngazi lokho izibuko akuzona ngempela izibuko. Iphansi lithambile kakhulu ukuhamba.
Ukuze uthole umbono obonakalayo wokuthi uhambo olunjalo lungaba njani, sicela ubukele le vidiyo emnandi eyenziwe yaba nokwenzeka ngobuchwepheshe besimanje njengeHubble Space Telescope. Naka lokho okwenzeka kuyi-Orion Nebula ukuze uqonde ukuthi “izibuko” ezixakile zobukhulu obuhlukahlukene zimelelani.
Igama elithi "indawo evulekile e-Orion" empeleni liyincazelo ephelele ngoba i-Orion Nebula ivulekile ngaseMhlabeni ukuze sikwazi ukubona ngaphakathi kwayo. Ukube bekungenjalo, lezi zithombe ezinhle bezingeke zenzeke. UNkulunkulu usinikeza amazwibela enkulisa yendalo Yakhe. Eqinisweni, “izibuko” ziyizinkanyezi noma ilanga elinobukhulu obuhlukahlukene, njengoba sibonile kumavidiyo esihlokweni esandulele. "Izibuko ezilingana ne-dime" zimelela ama-cocoons wezinhlelo zelanga ezisafufusa, ezinezinkanyezi zazo ezincane phakathi nendawo. UJesu uzichaza eBhayibhelini ‘njengelanga lokulunga. Ilanga lendalo Yakhe libonakalisa ukukhanya Kwakhe kanye nesimo Sakhe njengezibuko. Kungakho kwakhethwa izinkanyezi ezine ezinkulu nezibabazekayo ukuba zifanekisele “izidalwa eziphilayo” ezine ezimelela izici Zakhe ezine: ziyizinkanyezi zesandla nezinyawo ze-“Orion the Hunter”.
UJesu uyaqhubeka efundisa ephusheni:
Njengoba singena endaweni enkulu [i-Orion Nebula], ligcwele izinto engingenawo amazwi abantu engingachaza ngazo. Ngizizwa ngithuthumela lapho ngiqalaza. Sima futhi ngibekwe ukuthi i-walkway ne-corridor esiphuma kuyo ibe ngemuva kwami. Ngokuphazima kweso igumbi liqala ukukhanya ngokukhanya okukhanyisa indawo. Kuwubuhle engingeke futhi ngikwazi ukubuchaza. Ngenziwa ngiqonde ukuthi ngenxa yesimo sami sokuba nesono, ukukhanya Kwakhe kufanele kugcinwe kuphansi kakhulu. Uma bekukhona ifindo elingavulwa ukuze livumele ukukhanya, lapho u-0 ecishiwe futhi u-10 aphakeme, ifindo bekuzoba ku-0.00000005.
Yini iNkosi efuna ukusichazela yona kanye no-Ernie Knoll? Isho ukuthini inombolo engajwayelekile ethi 0.00000005? Uyakhumbula "izinkinga zamagama" ezivela emakilasini ezibalo zesikole? Bala nami ukuthi igumbi belizokhanya kangakanani ukube ifindo belimiswe libe ngu-10. Izibalo zilula:
10 ÷ 0.00000005 = 200,000,000 (izigidi ezingamakhulu amabili)
Leyo inombolo yeBhayibheli esesivele siyibonile ngaphambili:
Futhi i yesithupha ingelosi yasilubetha, 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. ezalungiswa ihora, nosuku, nenyanga, nonyaka, ukuze abulale ingxenye yesithathu yabantu. Futhi inani lebutho labagadi bamabhiza lali izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili; ngezwa isibalo sabo. ( IsAmbulo 9:13-16 )
Leso sibalo, izigidi ezingama-200 (emelwe 2 × 10,000 × 10,000 kwezinye izinguqulo) sixhumene ngokuqondile necilongo lesithupha, elimelela isixwayiso sokugcina sikaNkulunkulu kwabangaphenduki, esihlanganiswe nomusa. Ihlelelwe isikhathi esiqondile: ihora, usuku, inyanga nonyaka. Ngisho necilongo lasendulo lesithupha labikezelwa ngalo kanye usuku nguJosiah Litch eminyakeni engaphezudlwana kwemibili ngaphambi komcimbi, ukuwa koMbuso Wase-Ottoman. Wayengumshumayeli enhlanganweni yamaMillerite futhi eqonda isikhathi. Akufanele kumangaze ukuthi iphinda manje phambi kwamehlo akho. Kusukela ngo-2013, besilazi ihora, usuku, inyanga nonyaka lapho iBetelgeuse izobhubhisa ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yesintu: Okthoba 25, 2015, futhi kusukela ngoJanuwari 31, 2014 siyazi ukuthi icilongo lokugcina lesithupha lizokhala nini (iMpi Yezwe Yesithathu) ukuxwayisa ngembubhiso ngenombolo yayo ekhethekile futhi.
Amaphupho ka-Ernie Knoll, nokho, ayiziqinisekiso kuphela zezifundo zethu futhi akufanele neze azimele njengoba kwenzeka ngeshwa lapho ukuziqhenya kuka-Ernie Knoll kumphakamisa. Yingakho ngikhulume ngenani lezigidi ezingu-200 engxenyeni yesibili yalolu chungechunge lwesihloko, futhi ngacela ukuba nisikhumbule. Kwashiwo mayelana ne-supernova enkulu kunazo zonke ezake zabonwa, okwakungo-2004. Inkanyezi yaqhuma ngokukhazimula kwamalanga ayizigidi ezingu-200. Ifu legesi eliphakathi kwezinkanyezi lingakhanya ngalowo mfutho lapho lishaywa lelo nani lokukhanya, kuhlanganiswe nemisebe ye-cosmic kanye negagasi lokwethuka. Yilokho iNkosi efuna ukusibonisa kona. I-Betelgeuse supernova izobangela ukuba i-Orion Nebula ikhanye, futhi ngempela ngawo wonke amandla ayo elanga eliyizigidi ezingu-200! Lokho kuyoba ukukhanya okumangalisayo kwesidlo sakusihlwa somshado weWundlu, lapho sifika lapho!
Udaba oluzovela ngegagasi elimangalisayo le-Betelgeuse supernova luzogqugquzela i-Orion Nebula ezingeni elingakaze libonwe lendalo entsha. Izohlinzeka ngezinto ezidingekayo futhi icindezele izinto ndawonye. Manje singaqonda futhi ukuthi kungani ithempeli lasezulwini lizogcwala umusi ekuqaleni kwezinhlupho:
Nesinye sezilwane ezine [Betelgeuse] wanika izingelosi eziyisikhombisa izitsha zegolide eziyisikhombisa zigcwele ulaka lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo kuze kube phakade naphakade. Ithempeli lagcwala umusi ovela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu nasemandleni akhe; futhi kwakungekho muntu owayengangena ethempelini, zize zigcwaliseke izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zezingelosi eziyisikhombisa. ( IsAmbulo 15:7-8 )
Imihlaba emisha nempilo entsha kuzovela “entuthuni” yegagasi lokushaqisa kweBetelgeuse. I-Orion Nebula izogcwaliswa ngayo kuze kuphele izinhlupho. Sicela ucabange ukuthi isikhathi sihlobene endaweni yonke. Mhlawumbe yilapho umhlaba omusha, ilanga elisha kanye nesimiso esisha sonozungezilanga siyodalelwa khona, ukuze sikwazi ukubona lesi simangaliso. Kunoma yikuphi, inani lezigidi ezingu-200 kufanele lisenze siqaphele ukuthi i-Betelgeuse supernova izoba namandla kakhulu kunalokho izazi zezinkanyezi eziningi ezingakucabanga noma zibale ngokuntula kwazo ulwazi nokwaziswa.
Manje kufanele kube sobala ukuthi sazi kanjani ukuthi iBetelgeuse iyibanga elifanayo ukusuka eMhlabeni ukusuka e-Orion Nebula. Njengoba sisanda kubona, akekho ongangena ethempelini, ngoba ligcwele umusi. ... U-Ellen G. White wabona ukuthi sizothatha isonto elilodwa ukufika olwandle lwengilazi, i-Orion Nebula, ngaphambi kokungena ethempelini.
Sonke sangena efwini ndawonye, futhi saba izinsuku eziyisikhombisa sikhuphukela olwandle lwengilazi; lapho uJesu eletha imiqhele, futhi ngesandla saKhe siqu sokunene wayibeka emakhanda ethu. Wasinika amahabhu egolide nezintende zezandla zokunqoba. Lapha olwandle lwengilazi abangu-144,000 XNUMX bema endaweni ekahle. Abanye babo babenemiqhele egqame kakhulu, abanye bengakhanyi kangako. Eminye imiqhele yayibonakala isinda izinkanyezi, kanti eminye yayimbalwa. Bonke babeneliseke ngokuphelele ngemiqhele yabo. Futhi bonke babembethe ingubo emhlophe ekhazimulayo kusukela emahlombe abo ezinyaweni zabo. Izingelosi zazisizungezile njengoba sihamba phezu kolwandle lwengilazi siya esangweni lomuzi. UJesu waphakamisa ingalo Yakhe enamandla, ekhazimulayo, wabamba isango eliliparele, walibuyisela ezinsikeni zalo ezibenyezelayo, wathi kithi: “Nigeze izingubo zenu egazini lami, namela iqiniso lami, ngenani.” Sonke sangena futhi sazizwa sinelungelo eliphelele edolobheni. {I-EW 16.2}
Futhi lapho sesizongena ethempelini elingcwele, uJesu waphakamisa izwi Lakhe elithandekayo wathi: “Bayizi-144,000 XNUMX kuphela abangena kule ndawo,” futhi samemeza, “Aleluya.” {I-EW 18.2}
Ngakho-ke, ukushaqeka kwegagasi lemisebe ye-cosmic elagcwalisa i-Orion Nebula “ngomusi” kufanele kuqhubeke ngaleso sikhathi. Siyazi ngokusuka eBhayibhelini ukuthi liyogcwala “ithempeli” ngesikhathi sezinhlupho kuphela. Imiphumela emhlabeni, uNkulunkulu ayibiza ngokuthi izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa, ifanelana nomusi osendaweni engcwele yasezulwini, etholakala kuyi-Orion Nebula. Umusi uyobe usuphelile “ethempelini” ekupheleni kwesikhathi sezinhlupho, futhi siyokwazi ukungena kulo ngemva kokuba uJesu esehambe izinsuku eziyisikhombisa eMhlabeni nezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa esibuyisela naye e-Orion Nebula. Imiphumela ye-supernova izokwenzeka eMhlabeni nase-Orion Nebula ngesikhathi esifanayo-ngonyaka wezinhlupho--okusivumela ukuba siphethe ngokuthi ibanga likaBetelgeuse ukusuka eMhlabeni lihambisana ncamashi nebanga layo ukusuka e-Orion Nebula, njengoba ukuqhuma endaweni yonke kunwebeka endaweni eyindilinga. Nakuba isandla sokunene somdondoshiya siletha ukubhujiswa nokufa emhlabeni, ngesikhathi esifanayo sidala ilanga elisha, izinhlelo ezintsha zamaplanethi nokuphila okusha e-Orion Nebula.
Le ngxenye yefayela le- Izimoto Ezimbili iphupho liphetha ngokubonisa uthando namandla okudala eNkosi:
Manje ngizwa izwi engalizwa ngaphambili emaphusheni ami. Iwumsindo ofana nokugeleza kwamanzi amancane kanye nomfudlana wasezintabeni nempophoma enkulu. Izwi lithi, “Bheka, ngenza zonke izinto zibe zintsha.” Ngaphambi kwalokhu uJesu wayengakakhulumi lutho. Njengoba ngizwa izwi liphuma ngemva kwami, ngibona uJesu ekhuluma ngesikhathi esifanayo futhi esho amazwi aqondile engiwezwa ngemva kwami. Ngibe sengiqaphela amagama emoyeni ngenhla kwami abhalwa ngimi lapho. Ngimangele njengoba ngifunda la mazwi. Ekugcineni ithi, “IsAmbulo 21:3-7.”
Abaningi baye balubona uthando lukamama noma lukababa, umfowabo noma udadewabo, uthando lwendoda noma inkosikazi. Nokho, akukho ukuqabula noma ukwanga okungaqhathaniswa nothando engiluzwayo emazwini engiwezwayo. Awekho nhlobo amagama angakusho.
Ngase ngizwa izwi elikhulu livela ezulwini, lithi: Bheka, itabernakele likaNkulunkulu likubantu; UNkulunkulu uyakwesula izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo; ukufa akusayikuba-khona, nokudabuka, nokukhala, nobuhlungu akusayikuba-khona; ngokuba okokuqala kudlulile. Wayesethi ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi. bheka, ngenza konke kube kusha; Yathi kimi: Bhala, ngokuba lawa mazwi aqinisile, athembekile. Wathi kimi: Sekwenzekile. Mina ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphetho. Owomileyo ngiyakumnika ngesihle emthonjeni wamanzi okuphila. Onqobayo uyakudla ifa lakho konke; ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wayo, yona ibe yindodana yami. ( IsAmbulo 21:3-7 )
Ucabanga ukuthi uyazi futhi uyaqonda yonke into kakade manje? Uma kunjalo, cabanga-ke ngokuthi kungani amazwi kaJesu “alotshwa emoyeni ngaphezu kwakhe” nokuthi kungani iBhayibheli liqhathanisa izwi likaNkulunkulu elivela e-Orion nomsindo wamanzi amaningi (isib uHezekeli 1:24 kanye nesAmbulo 19:6)? Ucabanga ukuthi kungani lokhu kuchazwa ngokuningiliziwe emaphusheni ka-Ernie: “Kuwumsindo ofana nomsele omncane wamanzi kanye nomfudlana wasezintabeni nempophoma enkulu”? U-Ernie Knoll nabalandeli bakhe baye baba nesikhathi esiningi sokulandela zonke lezi zeluleko, kodwa behlulekile ngokudabukisayo ukuchaza lezi zambulo ezimangalisayo. Ingabe abafundi bami bangayichaza?
Uphawu Olulodwa Lokugcina
Inhlangano yeBandla lama-Adventist yawa eqinisweni eyake yalithola. Iqiniso lisekhona, kodwa alisafundiswa. Izimfundiso ezenza iBandla lama-Adventist laba umphathi wokukhanya kaNkulunkulu zafihlwa ngaphansi kwebhantshi ngobuholi balo. Kwenzeka okufanayo ngesizwe sokuqala esakhethwa uNkulunkulu, isizwe sakwa-Israyeli, esasifanekisela lesi sakamuva. Iningi labafundi bethu lisabela njengabantu bakwa-Israyeli ezixwayiso zethu... bathi “lutho.” Ngokusobala balindele isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini ukuze babonise ukuthi siqinisile.
Njengoba nje amaJuda osuku lukaJesu ehluleka ukubona uMesiya phakathi kwawo, iBandla lama-Adventist alizange libone uMsindisi walo endaweni elaliyalwe ukuba libheke kuyo kusukela ekuzalweni kwalo. UHiram Edson wayebone embonweni iqiniso lokuqala kwesahlulelo sophenyo endlini engcwele yasezulwini. Wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi incazelo yokudumazeka okukhulu kwango-1844 yayikhona. UJesu wasuka eNdaweni eNgcwele waya endaweni eNgcwelengcwele futhi ngaleyo ndlela waqala isigaba sokugcina sesu lokusindiswa eMhlabeni. Kusukela lapho, ibandla lacelwa ukuba lilandele iNkosi yalo lapho laliye khona. Akwenzekanga! Kungakho yaphatha isibonakaliso esinikeziwe kusukela ngo-2010 ngezwi likaNkulunkulu elivela e-Orion njengeze futhi ayinalutho.
AmaJuda awazange azazise izibonakaliso uMesiya owayelindelekile kodwa owayedelelekile azenza phakathi kwawo iminyaka emithathu nengxenye. Naphezu kwabo bonke ubufakazi begunya Lakhe, naphezu kwakho konke ukuphulukisa ayekwenzile, ukuvuka kwabafileyo, nokubuyiselwa kwencazelo yokuqala yezimfundiso ayephathiswe zona, amaJuda ayesanqaba ukukholwa nokumlandela. Weza kwabakhe, abakhe abamazanga. Kunalokho, ebumpumputheni babo babiza esinye isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini ukufakazela ubuqiniso bukaJesu:
Khona kwaphendula abathile bababhali nabaFarisi, bathi: “Mfundisi, sithanda ukubona isibonakaliso esivela kuwe. Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo. An isizukulwane esibi nesiphingayo ufuna isibonakaliso; futhi aliyikunikwa sibonakaliso; kodwa isibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. (UMathewu 12: 38-39)
Abafundi bethu benza okufanayo. Bafuna ubufakazi obengeziwe bokuthi sineqiniso futhi bayabubukela phansi ubufakazi obunikeziwe bokuvumelana esikuthole eZwini likaNkulunkulu. Ama-Adventist yonke indawo alindele uphawu “lwawo” olukhulu: umthetho wangeSonto, ngokwenkolelo yawo. Bayakhohlwa ukuthi umthetho wangeSonto ungafika kuphela emva kokuba isiguquko somqondo wabantu ukuze nabo bafune umthetho. Konke sekumi ngomumo—kungaba e-US noma eYurophu—kodwa inhlekelele enkulu kufanele ize ukuze inikeze umfutho wokugcina. Nokho, lapho kufika inhlekelele enkulu, izinto ziyokwenzeka ngokushesha kangangokuthi akekho noyedwa owayethole ukukhanya okungaka okuvela kuNkulunkulu ongakwazi ukuphendukela ohlangothini Lwakhe, engazange aphile ngokuvumelana nalokho kukhanya.
On October 27, 2012, inhlangano yeSonto Lama-Adventist yadlulisa iphuzu lokungabuyi. Iziphambeko zabo zase zifinyelele izinga lokuthi zazilandela obala izimiso zikapapa zamasonto onke. Njengoba sizobona esihlokweni esilandelayo, umugqa wesikhathi waphezulu waqala ukuphawula ngalolusuku, okufanele ufinyelele isiphetho salo esixwayiso sokugcina secilongo lesithupha lomjikelezo wokwahlulela weBandla lama-Adventist. Umnyango wesihe waqala ukuvaleka ngokungenakuguqulwa enhlanganweni ngaloloSuku Lokubuyisana oluphindwe kasikhombisa. Ngemva konyaka, uNkulunkulu wanika igunya lokuba Izwi lakhe kwabanye abakha ingxenye ethembekile, futhi ngaleyo ndlela abayibandla leqiniso lama-Adventist. Abanye bazisusa kude neqiniso likaNkulunkulu kangangokuthi bahlungwa.
Nokho, kumalungu ngamanye, uNkulunkulu wayesenezixwayiso eziningi ezilungiselelwe. Iziqalo ze izikhathi ezintathu zikaDaniyeli 12 sigcwaliseke ngokunembile kusukela ngomhla zingama-27 kuNhlolanja wezi-2013 kuye phambili njengoba sasibikezele ngezinsuku zethu zokubala wehla. Izehlakalo zalandela ngokulandelana okusheshayo: ukwesula komphakathi okuvusa amadlingozi kukaBenedict, ukukhethwa kukapapa wokuqala ongumJesuit (ngoMashi 13) kanye nesimemezelo sakhe soguquko ebuholini beSifundazwe SeDolobha LaseVatican ngokusungulwa kwendikimba ebusa umhlaba wonke yoKhadinali (ngo-April 13).
Nokho iBandla lama-Adventist, nabo bonke abantu abaseseBhabhiloni kanye nalo, basazothola esinye isibonakaliso. Ngempela, lowo uJesu ayevele esethembise isizukulwane esibi nesiphingayo. Kungaba uphawu oluzohluka kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelwe noma okuceliwe. Sifunde lesi sihloko isikhathi eside, futhi uMoya oNgcwele ukhanyise ukukhanya Kwakhe ngesikhathi esifanele ukuze nawe ukubone manje.
Isibonakaliso sika-Israyeli
Uhlobo lwesibonakaliso ubuKristu, abantu banamuhla okuthiwa bangabantu bakaNkulunkulu, isibonakaliso sikaJona. Kudingeka sihlolisise uhlobo lohlobo ngokucophelela ukuze sithole ukuthi isibonakaliso “sethu” kufanele sibe yini. Okokuqala, kudingeka siqaphele ukuthi isibonakaliso ngaleso sikhathi sasingelutho, njengoba umbhalo weBhayibheli ungase ubonakale usikisela lapho uthi “akukho sibonakaliso kodwa isibonakaliso sikaJona.”
UJesu wachaza kahle kakhulu ukuthi isibonakaliso sasiyoba yini:
Ngoba njengoba uJona wayenjalo izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu esiswini somkhomo; kanjalo iNdodana yomuntu ibe senhliziyweni yomhlaba izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu. (Mathewu 12: 40)
Ngibhekane nesibonakaliso ngokuningiliziwe Ingxenye II ye-Cross Shadows. Ngachaza ukuthi izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu zaqala eGetsemane lapho uJesu ethwala umthwalo wazo zonke izono zesintu emahlombe Akhe. Wangena nalowo mthwalo “enhliziyweni yomhlaba,” ebumnyameni obufana nobumnyama uJona okumelwe ukuba wabuzwa esiswini somkhomo. Lowomthwalo awuzange wehle emahlombe Akhe waze wavuka ngalolo suku ekuseni futhi wenyukela endlini engcwele yasezulwini. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho eletha umthwalo wesono sesintu kanye negazi Lakhe elihlawulelayo kuBaba. Kungalesosikhathi lapho Ebuyela khona ekukhanyeni, njengoJona ngenkathi umkhomo umhlanzela ogwini.
Kulokho kuvakasha okufushane kuBaba, uJesu waphinde wethula ulibo kuYe. Labo kwakungabantu abavuswa ekufeni ekubethelweni Kwakhe:
UJesu, esephinde wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wawukhipha umoya. Bheka, isihenqo sethempeli sadabuka kabili, kusukela phezulu kuze kufike phansi; umhlaba wazamazama, amadwala aqhekezeka; Futhi amathuna avuleka; nezidumbu eziningi zabangcwele ababelele zavuka, baphuma emathuneni emva kokuvuka kwakhe, bangena emzini ongcwele, babonakala kwabaningi. (UMathewu 27: 50-53)
Ngesikhathi sokufa Kwakhe, uJesu wabonisa abantu abayizihlubuki ukuthi amandla Akhe asegazini laKhe elithethelela izono. Igazi lakhe liyavuma ukulungiswa lalabo abalamukelayo njalo bazivumele ukuthi bahlanjululwe esonweni. Ekubethelweni, igazi Lakhe labangela ukuvuka “kwabangcwele” abaningi, okwathi ngemva kwalokho bafakaza ngoNkulunkulu eJerusalema izinsuku ezintathu. Ukufakaza kwabo kwakwanele ukunikeza hhayi kuphela ukulungisiswa, kodwa futhi ukungcweliswa kudingekile ukuba bakhuphukele kuBaba osezulwini ngosuku lwesithathu noJesu, lapho besaphila nanamuhla.
Lezo zenzakalo zabonisa ngesibonelo sabambalwa okwakuzokwenzeka kamuva ngezinga elikhulu. Amandla egazi likaJesu ayezokwenza ukuthi amathambo omile amalungu ebandla esigodini sabafileyo athole inyama nemisipha futhi aphile (Hezekeli 37) njengesizukulwane sokugcina ukuqeda ubufakazi baso ngokukhala okukhulu okwaqala ngaleso sikhathi. Ngokushesha abangu-144,000 XNUMX bazovuswa ngokomoya ukuze bafakaze ngoBaba. Lokhu ubizo lwethu oluphezulu.
Kungani uJesu akhetha leyo nhlanganisela yezenzakalo ukuba ayinikeze njengesibonakaliso sokugcina esizukulwaneni sangaphambili esibi nesiphingayo? Wayefuna ukubakhumbuza ngomsebenzi wabo wokuqala wobuvangeli, ababewukhohliwe. Isizwe sonke samaJuda sasikhethelwe ukumemezela ukufika kokuqala kukaJesu. Izimiso zabo, imikhosi yabo, uhlelo lwemihlatshelo—konke kwakukhomba ukufika kokuqala kukaJesu nomhlatshelo Wakhe waso sonke isintu. Babenemibhalo emidala, futhi bekwazi ukufunda zonke iziprofetho ezazikhomba kuMesiya nomphumela wegazi Lakhe. Babezomazi uma babefunde futhi baqonde iziprofetho. Ngemva kweziprofetho, kwakufanele babone izindaba ezinhle zoMsindisi othethelela isono nongcwelisayo esikhundleni sokuwela ekudukeni kwesimo senkolo. Kwakufanele babone ukuthi bonke abantu abamthandayo bangavuswa futhi bathole ukuphila okuphakade, kodwa banquma ukumemezela amasiko abantu esikhundleni seqiniso likaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
Lababantu basondela kimi ngomlomo wabo, bangidumise ngezindebe zabo; kodwa inhliziyo yabo ikude nami. Kodwa bangikhonza ngeze, befundisa izifundiso ezingcwele imiyalo yabantu. (UMathewu 15: 8-9)
Isibonakaliso saqala eGetsemane ekuboshweni Kwakhe, lapho amathonsi okuqala egazi loMsindisi ewa, futhi saphela lapho lonke igazi Lakhe lilethwa endlini engcwele yasezulwini kuBaba. Ngakho-ke, ngokushesha kwasicacela ukuthi isibonakaliso sesizukulwane sanamuhla esiphingayo sasiyokwenzeka ngezinsuku zedili lePhasika, futhi ikakhulukazi ngosuku lwesithungu sokuzuliswa. Lolo suku lumelela ulibo, abantu uJesu abayisa ezulwini ngemva kokuvuswa Kwakhe.
Ucwaningo olulodwa luphakathi kwazo zonke izifundo zethu. Iwukufunda ikhalenda likaNkulunkulu leqiniso, esilitholile njengoba sihlola ngokuningiliziwe izenzakalo ezizungezile iGetsemane. Ngakho-ke, sabiza isifundo Inyanga Egcwele EGetsemane. Ikhalenda likaNkulunkulu alisenzanga nje kuphela ukuthi sithole usuku lweqiniso lokubethelwa kukaJesu, kodwa futhi nokubala ngokwezinkanyezi noma yiziphi izinsuku zedili ezimisiwe zikaNkulunkulu, ezedlule noma ezizayo. Sasazi ukuthi ngonyaka othile ngosuku lwesibili ngemva kwePhasika, okwakuyoba usuku lwesithungu sokuzuliswa, sasiyonikezwa isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini esivumelana nesibonakaliso sikaJona.
Ngalesi sikhathi, kwakuyoba uphawu olwaluzobonisa ukwehluleka ikakhulukazi kweBandla lama-Adventist ekufezeni umsebenzi walo wokushumayela. Kwakuyoba isibonakaliso esasiyobonisa ngezinga elincane lokho okwakuyokwenzeka kamuva ngezinga elikhulu phakathi nesikhathi sokubuya kukaJesu kwesibili.
Ummemezeli Wemiyalezo Yezingelosi Ezintathu?
Ukuze siqaphele isibonakaliso, kufanele siqale siphenye ukuthi wawuyini umsebenzi wokushumayela weqiniso weSonto Lama-Adventist. Izibona njengomthwali wemiyalezo yezingelosi ezintathu zesAmbulo 14. Okokuqala, ake sihlole ukuthi ngabe isiwenzile yini umsebenzi wayo noma cha.
Umlayezo wengelosi yokuqala uhlanganisa isimemezelo “sehora lokwahlulela”:
Ngase ngibona enye ingelosi indiza emkhathini wezulu, inevangeli laphakade ukuba ilishumayele kwabakhileyo emhlabeni, nakuzo zonke izizwe, nemindeni, nezilimi, nabantu, ithi ngezwi elikhulu: Mesabeni uNkulunkulu, nimnike inkazimulo; okwe ihora lokwahlulela kwakhe ufikile: nikhuleke kuye owenza izulu, nomhlaba, nolwandle, nemithombo yamanzi. ( IsAmbulo 14:6-7 )
Lokho kuhlanganisa okungaphezu nje kokukhala kokuqala kwaphakathi kwamabili kukaWilliam Miller, ngoba “ihora” liyinkathi yesikhathi enesiqalo nesiphetho! UNkulunkulu uneqiniso eZwini laKhe. Ukube Wayeqonde inkathi yesikhathi engapheli, wayeyosho ukuthi “ngokuba ukuqala kokwahlulela Kwakhe sekufikile,” kodwa igama elithi “ihora lokwahlulela Kwakhe” lihlanganisa isiqalo nesiphetho, futhi ngaleyo ndlela isikhalo sesibili nesiyiqiniso saphakathi kwamabili sokuthi umyeni uyeza ngempela manje.
Ingabe iSonto Lama-Adventist lisashumayela isahlulelo sophenyo esaqala ngo-1844? Cha, izahluko ezihambisanayo zakhishwa “Ethembeni Elikhulu” (uhlelo lwevangeli lwe “Great Controversy” ka-Ellen G. White, oluzosakazwa izigidi ezilikhulu emhlabeni wonke). Encwadini, bayaphika iphayona elikhulu kunawo wonke we-Advent movement, uWilliam Miller. Igama lakhe alisaveli nokuvela. Futhi incwadi ayiqukethe izahluko mayelana nemfundiso yendlu engcwele noma igama lalowo owayenza yaphila: uHiram Edson.
Ingabe iBandla lama-Adventist liyashumayela isikhalo sesibili saphakathi kwamabili sokuphela kwehora lokwahlulela? Cha—ngokuphambene nalokho. Kunokuphikisana okushisekayo kunoma ubani ozama ngisho ukuvumelanisa isiprofetho seBhayibheli nezenzakalo zangaleso sikhathi noma nesikhathi nje jikelele. Yingakho kwadingeka ngibhale lonke uchungechunge lwezihloko, Usuku Nehora, ama-Adventist ayenqaba ekuqaleni.
Okusele nje wulwazi lokuthi uNkulunkulu wendalo kumele akhulekelwe ngosuku alukhethile futhi alungcwelise: iSabatha, futhi iBandla lanyathela othulini leyonsalela yomlayezo wengelosi yokuqala ngo-October 27, 2012 njengoba laligcina iSabatha Lendalo elamiswa upapa.
Umlayezo wengelosi yesibili kwakuwukunyakaza kukaSamuweli Snow, indoda eyabala usuku oluqondile lokuqala kokwahlulela ezulwini. Waxwayisa amasonto obuProthestani ngaphambi kokuhlubuka kwawo okukhulu ezimfundisweni zeBabiloni namaKatolika. Ungase umbize ngo-anti-ecumenist wokuqala.
Kwase kulandela enye ingilosi, yathi. IBhabhiloni liwile, liwile, lowomuzi omkhulu, ngokuba waphuzisa izizwe zonke iwayini lolaka lobufebe bawo. ( IsAmbulo 14:8 )
IBhayibheli lisitshela ukuthi umlayezo wengelosi yesibili kufanele uphinde, ikakhulukazi emlayezweni wengelosi yesine:
Emva kwalokho ngabona enye ingelosi yehla ezulwini, inamandla amakhulu; futhi umhlaba wakhanyiswa ngenkazimulo yakhe. Wamemeza ngezwi elinamandla, wathi: Liwile, liwile iBabiloni elikhulu, selibe yindawo yokuhlala yamademoni, nenqaba yabo bonke omoya abangcolileyo, nenqaba yazo zonke izinyoni ezingcolileyo nezizondekayo. Ngokuba izizwe zonke ziphuzile ewayinini lolaka lobufebe balo, namakhosi omhlaba afebile nalo, nabathengisi bomhlaba banothile ngokuchichima kwezibiliboco zalo. ( IsAmbulo 18:1-3 )
U-Ellen G. White wasisiza ukuba siqonde ukuthi ukuphindaphinda ikakhulukazi mayelana nenkohlakalo eyangena eSontweni Lama-Adventist ngemva kwe-1844:
Isigijimi sokuwa kweBabiloni, njengoba sinikezwe ingelosi yesibili, siyaphindwa, ne ukukhulunyelwa okwengeziwe ngenkohlakalo abelokhu engena emasontweni kusukela ngo-1844. Umsebenzi walengelosi ungena ngesikhathi esifanele ukuze uhlanganyele emsebenzini omkhulu wokugcina wesigijimi sengelosi yesithathu njengoba ukhukhumala ngokumemeza okukhulu. Futhi abantu bakaNkulunkulu bakulungele kanjalo ukuma ehoreni lokulingwa, asebezohlangana nalo maduzane. Ngabona ukukhanya okukhulu kuhlezi phezu kwabo, basebehlangana ukuze bamemezele umlayezo wengilosi yesithathu ngesibindi. {I-EW 277.1}
Imilayezo ye-Orion kanye neVessel of Time ibale kahle le nkohlakalo yeBandla lama-Adventist ngamagama. UNkulunkulu wabhala konke ukuchezuka ohlelweni Lwakhe ngomunwe Wakhe emkhathini, nasekuhambeni kwelanga nenyanga.
Ingabe iSonto Lama-Adventist liyawushumayela umlayezo kaSamuel Snow wokuthi wonke amasonto ancike eSontweni LamaKatolika awile? Cha. Zonke izahluko ze-Great Controversy ezingase zinikeze ukubukeka kwenkolelo yokuthi iBandla lamaRoma linguMphikukristu zasuswa “Ethembeni Elikhulu”.
Ingabe iBandla lama-Adventist liyawushumayela umlayezo wengelosi yesine futhi livume amaphutha alo, njengoba ethulwe yiNkosi? Lutho neze! Kunalokho, iyabathulisa, ibandlulule futhi ibakhiphe ngaphandle bonke abafuna ukuyishumayela. Ibakhipha ngaphandle futhi ibaxoshe, iyabashushisa, futhi ifuna ngisho nokumemezela ukuthi abanye babo bayahlanya. Ngokwenza kanjalo, iziphatha njengesibonelo sayo, isizwe samaJuda esingabazenzisi ngesikhathi sikaJesu.
Manje sifika enhliziyweni ye-Adventism. IBandla lizibona njengokunyakaza kwengelosi yesithathu! Uthini umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu?
Ingelosi yesithathu yabalandela, ithi ngezwi elikhulu. Uma umuntu ekhuleka isilo nomfanekiso waso, amukele uphawu lwaso ebunzini lakhe noma esandleni sakhe, yena uyakuphuza iwayini lolaka lukaNkulunkulu, elithululwa ngaphandle kwengxube indebe yentukuthelo yakhe; futhi uyohlushwa ngomlilo nesibabule phambi kwezingelosi ezingcwele naphambi kweWundlu: Futhi umusi wokuhlushwa kwabo wenyuka kuze kube phakade naphakade: futhi abanakuphumula imini nobusuku, labo abakhonza isilo nomfanekiso waso, futhi noma ubani owamukela uphawu lwegama laso. ( IsAmbulo 14:9-11 )
U-Ellen G. White wayeqinisile lapho ebiza lesi sigijimi esibi kunayo yonke yezingelosi:
Lapho inkonzo kaJesu ivala endaweni engcwele, futhi Wadlulela endaweni engcwele, wema phambi komphongolo owawuqukethe umthetho kaNkulunkulu, wathumela enye ingelosi enamandla nomyalezo wesithathu emhlabeni. Isikhumba safakwa esandleni sengelosi, futhi lapho yehlela emhlabeni inamandla nobukhosi, yamemezela isixwayiso esesabekayo. ngokusabisa okubi kakhulu okwake kwathwalwa umuntu. Lomlayezo wawuhloselwe ukubeka abantwana bakaNkulunkulu ekuqapheni kwabo, ngokubakhombisa ihora lokulingwa nobuhlungu obuphambi kwabo. {I-EW 254.1}
Lomlayezo awugcini nje ngesexwayiso sokuthi singawephuli umthetho weSabatha. Siyalwa ukuba sixwayise ngokucacile ngemiphumela, futhi lokho kuhlanganisa nokuqonda ukuthi ziyini izinhlupho ukuze abantu abalele bavuke ukuze basindiswe. Qaphela ukuthi u-Ellen G. White ukhuluma ngehora futhi. Khumbula, igama elithi “ihora” lihlanganisa ukuqala nokuphela kwenkathi yesikhathi, ngakho lokhu kukhuluma ngomlayezo wesikhathi.
Ingabe iBandla lama-Adventist liyawushumayela ngempela umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu njengoba lizisho? Uyazizwa izixwayiso ngezinhlupho emapulpiti? Ngike ngasho ezihlokweni zami ukuthi okushunyayelwayo nokwenziwayo, uma umuntu ekhuluma ngesihloko, kuyinkolelo yokuthi izinhlupho zizothatha izinsuku eziyi-14 kuphela. Akekho “obonisa ihora lokulingwa nosizi” ngoba lokho bekuyobe kuphambene nenkolo. IBandla lama-Adventist layeka ukunikeza umlayezo weqiniso wengelosi yesithathu eminyakeni edlule.
Ngakho, iBandla lihlulekile ekumemezeleni izigijimi zezingelosi ezintathu, futhi ikakhulukazi esigijimini salo sengelosi yesithathu. Ingasaphathwa eyesigijimi sengelosi yesine noma ukukhala okukhulu, okukhomba nezinhlupho:
Ngase ngizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zayo, futhi ukuze lingamukeli okwezinhlupho zalo. Ngokuba izono zalo zifinyelele ezulwini, noNkulunkulu ukhumbulile ukungalungi kwalo. ( IsAmbulo 18:4-5 )
Kungani ama-Adventist engazange akulalele lokho isithunywa sikaNkulunkulu esasibatshela kona?
UJohane weza ngomoya nangamandla ka-Eliya ukuzomemezela ukufika kokuqala kukaJesu. Ngakhonjwa phansi ezinsukwini zokugcina futhi ngabona ukuthi uJohane wayemelela labo okufanele baphume ngomoya namandla ka-Eliya ukuyomemezela. the usuku lolaka lokufika kukaJesu okwesibili. {I-EW 155.1}
Funda lesisho kabili! Okuqukethwe kokukhala okukhulu kuchazwe lapho: ukumenyezelwa kwe “usuku yolaka lukaNkulunkulu nokubuya kwesibili kukaKristu.” IBandla elenqaba ukuphrofetha zonke izikhathi alikwazi ukugcwalisa lo msebenzi futhi ngaleyo ndlela alikwazi ukuba nomoya noma amandla ka-Eliya.
Ngakho, yisiphi isibonakaliso okufanele sinikezwe iBandla elalibusiswe ngokucebile kangaka nguNkulunkulu futhi lathola ukukhanya okungaka, kodwa lenqaba ukushumayela ukukhanya okusha okwakuyokwenza ukukhanya okudala kukhanye ngokuphindwe kashumi? Isiphi isibonakaliso okufanele sinikezwe iBandla elaphinga noJezebeli waseRoma? Isiphi isibonakaliso esingabonisa ngezinga elincane ukuthi yini eyayizokwenzeka kamuva ngesilinganiso esikhulu?
Ukubaneka Kombani Okukhulu Kunazo Zonke Isikhathi
Lapho amaKaraite ebika kuwebhusayithi yawo ukuthi usesho lwebhali ngoMashi 2013 saphumelela, sasazi ukuthi isibonakaliso sikaJona sasiyonikezwa ngo-April 27, 2013, usuku lwesibili ngemva kwePhasika langempela ngokuvumelana nekhalenda likaNkulunkulu. Njengoba sengishilo ku Isililo esikhulu ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “Isexwayiso Sokugcina SikaNkulunkulu”, ingxenye yeka-Ernie Knoll Izimoto ezimbili iphupho nalo lalikhomba lolu suku, kodwa iphupho lalivamile kangangokuthi lalingase lisebenze osukwini lwesibili ngemva kwanoma iyiphi okungenzeka inyanga egcwele yasentwasahlobo.
Sasinolwazi olunembe kakhudlwana ngoba sinalokhu u-Ernie Knoll angenakho... ukuqonda kweBhayibheli ngeziprofetho zikaNkulunkulu zosuku lwedili. Lapho ukubala kwethu phansi kwesibili kuya kokugcina kuphelelwa yisikhathi ngo-April 13 ngemva kokukhombisa ngempumelelo ukuqala kwezinsuku ezingu-1260 zezenzakalo ezibonakalayo, ngokushesha sabeka ukubala okusha. Sayibekela usuku lwango-April 27, okwakukade sazi ngalo. Ngakho salinda ngokulangazela ukuze sibone ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngalolo suku. Sasinesithakazelo ngokukhethekile ehoreni isithungu sokuzuliswa esasiyozuliswa ngaso ethempelini laseJerusalema, phakathi kuka-9 ekuseni no-12 emini.
Lolo hlu lwesikhathi eJerusalema nalo lavumelana neqiniso lokuthi kusazoba sebusuku lapho ehlala khona u-Ernie eBrownsville, eCalifornia lapho isenzakalo esilandelayo sizokwenzeka ephusheni lakhe:
Konke manje kuma ngokushesha. Wonke umsindo uyama. Konke kuthule futhi kuthule. Ngokushesha kukhona i umsindo omkhulu ngendlela emangalisayo ongenayo incazelo. Ifana nemisindo ye isitimela esiyisigidi noma izimpondo zamaloli ezishaya kanyekanye. Indwangu emnyama yesibhakabhaka esisasebusuku manje iyadabuka futhi kukhona ukukhanya okungenancazelo.
Umhlaka 27 April 2013 kwakuyiSabatha. Kwakungaphezu kweSabatha. Kwakuwusuku lokuqala lomkhosi onyakeni omusha wamaJuda owawuba ngeSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa. Sasihlale siluthatha njengosuku olukhethekile ngoba sasicabanga ukuthi lolu suku lweSabatha luzoqala kathathu oHlulweni lwamaSabatha aphezulu, futhi ngaleyo ndlela kube yisikhathi sokukhala okukhulu.
Siphinde sathola ukuthi iphupho lika-Ernie laliqinisekisa ukuthi kwakuyoba iSabatha, ngoba uthi: “Konke manje kumiswa ngokushesha. Wonke umsindo uyama. Konke kuthule futhi kuthule.” Iyiphi incazelo engcono engaba khona ngobusuku beSabatha obuthule? ISabatha laqala ngoLwesihlanu kusihlwa, ngo-April 26, futhi phakathi nalawo mahora obusuku (eCalifornia) isibonakaliso esikhulu sasiyofika. Ngokusho kwephupho lika-Ernie, kufanele kubonise ukuthi ukunyakaza kokugcina okusheshayo kwase kuqalile, futhi ngokusho kwezifundo zethu sasilindele ukuthi iSonto Lama-Adventist lizothola isibonakaliso sikaJona.
Njengoba sike sachaza, kuvame ukuba nzima ukwabela idethi umcimbi. Kwesinye isikhathi kungathatha izinsuku size sithole ukuthi yini ngempela eyenzekile ngokuphenya ezikhishwe kwabezindaba. Kulokhu kwadingeka silinde ngesineke kuze kube uMay 5 ukuze ibhomu lezindaba ligcine liqhumile. I-NASA ibike ngoMeyi 5, 2013 Okulandelayo:
UFermi weNASA, Swift See 'Shockingly Bright' Burst
Ukuqhuma okuqopha umlando kwemisebe ye-gamma evela kunkanyezi efayo emthaleni okude kuye kwamangaza izazi zezinkanyezi emhlabeni wonke. Ukuqhuma, okubhekwa njengokuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray, noma i-GRB, kanye ne-GRB 130427A eqokiwe, yakhiqizwa. ukukhanya okunamandla kakhulu okutholwe kumcimbi onjalo.
"Sesilinde isikhathi eside ukuthi i-gamma-ray iqhume ngokushaqisayo, ngokugqama kwamehlo," kusho uJulie McEnery, usosayensi wohlelo lweFermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope e-NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center eGreenbelt, Md.
Ngicela ungivumele ngichaze okuthile ngalesi sithombe ngamagama ami. Besidinga isikhathi esincane ukuze siqonde ukuthi ikhombisani, nokuthi babuthusa kangakanani ubukhulu bokuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray yango-April 27 ngempela. Kwadlula konke okwakubonwe ngaphambili. Amachashaza aluhlaza ku-sphere awameli nje izinkanyezi endaweni yonke ku-spectrum eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Kunalokho, zonke zibanjiwe futhi zikalwe ukuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray. Ngayinye yayivele iwukukhanya okukhulu okunamandla angenakucatshangwa angaphezu kwezigidi eziyikhulu zama-electron volts (MeV). Ithimba le-Fermi lisebenzise lo mfanekiso ukuze libonise ukuthi i-GRB 100A iqhathaniswe ngokumangalisayo kanjani namanye ama-GRB. (Igama le-GRB empeleni liwusuku lwefomethi yonyaka/inyanga/yosuku.)
Ngemva nje kuka-3:47 am EDT ngoMgqibelo, Ephreli 27, i-Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) kaFermi yaqala ukuqhuma kokukhanya okunamandla amakhulu kumlaza i-Leo...
I-Fermi's Large Area Telescope (LAT) irekhode i-gamma ray eyodwa enamandla okungenani ama-electron volts (GeV) ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-94), noma izikhathi ezingaba yizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-35 amandla okukhanya okubonakalayo, futhi amakhulu cishe kathathu kunerekhodi langaphambilini le-LAT. Ukukhishwa kwe-GeV kusukela ekuqhumeni kwathatha amahora amaningi, futhi kwahlala kubonakala yi-LAT ingxenye engcono yosuku, ibeka irekhodi elisha lokukhishwa kwe-gamma-ray ende kakhulu evela ku-GRB.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ososayensi bathola ukuthi lesi senzakalo esikhulu sezinkanyezi esiqopha umlando ngenhlanhla saqalwa ebangeni elingacabangeki leminyaka yokukhanya eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3.6 emthaleni okude. Ukube lokho kuqhuma kwenzeke emthaleni wethu, bekuyoshisa iplanethi yethu yaba bucayi ngomzuzwana ohlukene.
Uma siguqulela isikhathi i-GRB 130427A eyafika ngaso isikhathi saseJerusalema, siza—ngokumangalisayo—kuMgqibelo, April 27, 2013 ngo-10:47 am Lokho kwakuphakathi nesikhathi esasisilindele ekuseni ngosuku olungokomfanekiso lokuvuka lapho uJesu enoBaba. Kulokhu, ukubala kwethu phansi kukhomba ku ihora eliqondile yomcimbi.
Bangane nabazalwane, akulona ihaba ukubiza lokhu kuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray njengophawu. Siyazi ukuthi le flash ishaye uMhlaba, ngoba ukuqhuma kwe-gamma-ray kungalinganiswa kuphela uma kuqondiswe eMhlabeni. Ezinye eziqondiswe kude azibonakali kithi. Uma ubungenza ukuqhuma okunjalo kwe-gamma-ray kuzwakale, khona-ke zonke izinsimbi zethu zendlebe bezizoqhuma futhi kucishe kuguqule amazwi ka-Ernie abe amazwi alula: “Ifana nemisindo isitimela esiyisigidi noma izimpondo zamaloli ezishaya kanyekanye."
Lokhu kubaneka bekubuye kukhanye kunakho konke okwake kwabonwa, kukalwa noma okutholwa abantu. Ngisho nososayensi abaqinile bakuchaza “njengokukhanya okuphuphumayo”. "Indwangu emnyama yesibhakabhaka esisasebusuku manje iyahlukana futhi kukhona ukukhanya okungenancazelo."
Asizile ukuzothethelela u-Ernie Knoll. Umuntu ompofu akazi nokuthi amaphupho akhe asezofezeka ekugcineni (futhi sidalule okuncane nje kokuqonda kwethu). Kumele aye yedwa kuJesu ukuze amcele intethelelo ngokungena endaweni kaSathane emaphusheni akhe akamuva. Noma kunjalo, ukunyakaza kokugcina okusheshayo sekuqalile ngempela.
Isiphi isibonakaliso ebesiyofaneleka kangcono eBandleni lama-Adventist ukukhombisa ukweqa kwabo maqondana nokushunyayelwa kwemiyalezo ehlanganisiwe yengelosi yesithathu neyesine? Yomibili le miyalezo iqukethe isixwayiso esikhulu nesesabekayo mayelana nezinhlupho.
Isiphi isibonakaliso ebesiyofaneleka kangcono ukubonisa amasonto agcina iSonto futhi kanjalo akhulekela ilanga lapho beholela khona “izimvu” zabo? Labo abakhulekela ilanga kumelwe babhujiswe lilanga!
Manje ngikubonise ezihlokweni ezintathu lapho izinhlupho zivela khona nokuthi i-GRB evela eduze komthala wethu siqu izobangela ukuphela kwesintu kanye nale planethi.
Kubhebhezela isithando somlilo uMalaki akhuluma ngaso:
Ngokuba bheka, usuku luyeza; elivutha njengeziko; bonke abaziqhenyayo, yebo, nabo bonke abenza okubi bayakuba ngamabibi; futhi usuku oluzayo luyobashisa. usho uJehova Sebawoti, ukuthi ingabashiyeli impande nagatsha. ( Malaki 4:1 )
Futhi kungumlilo ngaphansi kwesigxobo sikaPetru:
INkosi ayilibali ngesithembiso sayo, njengalokhu abanye bathi kungukulibala; kodwa uyasibekezelela, engathandi ukuthi kubhubhe namunye, kodwa ukuba bonke beze ekuphendukeni. Kodwa usuku lweNkosi luzafika njengesela ebusuku; lapho amazulu ayakudlula ngomsindo omkhulu, nezakhi ziyoncibilika ngokushisa okukhulu, nomhlaba nemisebenzi ekuwo kuyakusha. (I-2 Peter 3: 9-10)
Sicela uthathe iseluleko sikaPeter:
Ngakho njengoba zonke lezi zinto ziyoncibilika, kufanele nibe ngabantu abanjani konke ukukhuluma okungcwele nokumesaba uNkulunkulu, nilindele, nijahe ukufika kosuku lukaNkulunkulu, lapho amazulu eyakusha, ancibilike, nezakhi zincibilike ngokushisa okukhulu? Nokho ngokwesithembiso sakhe silindele izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha okuhlala kukho ukulunga. Ngakho-ke, bathandekayo, njengoba nilindele izinto ezinjalo khuthalelani ukuba nifunyanwe kuye ninokuthula, ningenabala, ningenasici. (I-2 Peter 3: 11-14)
Ngikuphelezele kuze kube manje. Ngicela uzwe ukuthi ngisazothini, ngoba angazi noma iNkosi uJesu, u-Alnitak, izongivumela yini ukuthi ngikubhalele okwengeziwe uma konke sekuqalile...
Ingabe isizwe samaJuda safunda isifundo esibonakalisweni sikaJona esanikezwa sona? Ingabe babeqonda ukuthi lapho eletha ulibo olungcwele kuBaba, olwalufanekiselwa ngokukhafula umprofethi emlonyeni wenhlanzi, uJesu akazange akhombe kuphela ukuhlengwa nokuvuka ekukhanyeni komhlaba omusha, kodwa ukuthi wonke umuntu ongakwamukeli lokhu kukhululwa uyolahlekelwa phakade?

Cishe cha!
Kumayelana nomuntu ngamunye, akunandaba ukuthi ukuliphi ibandla. Wonke umuntu uyabizwa ukuba aphume eBhabhiloni. Wonke umuntu kufanele ashiye uhlelo lwamaRoma Katolika kanye “Ne-Brave New World Order” eyasungulwa uma bengafuni ukuhlanganyela ezinhlupho. Ukuhlengwa akuyona inkampani kodwa umuntu ngamunye. Noma ubani angasindiswa, kodwa hhayi ngaphandle kokulalela kothando futhi hhayi ngaphandle kwezithelo ngamandla kaJesu. Manje wonke umuntu kufanele ame yedwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu ekwahluleleni kodwa asebenzele abanye abantu:
Wonke amadoda athengwe ngale ntengo engapheli. Ngokuthululela yonke ingcebo yezulu kulomhlaba, ngokusinika kuKristu lonke izulu, uNkulunkulu uthenge intando, inkanuko, ingqondo, umphefumulo, wawo wonke umuntu. Noma ngabe abakholwayo noma abangakholwa, bonke abantu bayimpahla yeNkosi. Bonke babizelwe ukumkhonza, nangendlela abahlangabezane ngayo nalesi simangalo, konke kuyodingeka ukuba ilandise ngosuku olukhulu lokwahlulela.
Kodwa izimangalo zikaNkulunkulu azibonwa yibo bonke. Yilabo abathi bayemukele inkonzo kaKristu abasemfanekisweni bamelelwe njengezinceku Zakhe uqobo.
Abalandeli bakaKristu bahlengiwe ngenkonzo. INkosi yethu ifundisa ukuthi injongo yangempela yokuphila iyinkonzo. UKristu Uqobo Lwakhe wayeyisisebenzi, futhi kubo bonke abalandeli Bakhe Ubanika umthetho womsebenzi—ukukhonza uNkulunkulu nakubantu bakubo. Lapha uKristu wethule emhlabeni umqondo wempilo ephakeme kunalowo ababewazi. Ngokuphilela ukukhonza abanye, umuntu uhlanganiswa noKristu. Umthetho wenkonzo uba isixhumanisi esisibophayo kuNkulunkulu nakubantu esiphila nabo. {COL 326.1–3}
Yilabo kuphela abakhuleka njengoJona abazophuma emgodini omnyama wesisu somkhomo baye ekukhanyeni:
UJona wakhuleka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe esesiswini senhlanzi, wathi: “Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngakhala kuJehova, wangizwa; Ngamemeza ngisesiswini sendawo yabafileyo, wezwa izwi lami. Ngokuba wangiphonsa ekujuleni, phakathi kwezilwandle; izikhukhula zangihaqa; onke amaza akho namaza akho adlula phezu kwami. Ngase ngithi: “Ngixoshiwe emehlweni akho; nokho ngiyobuye ngibheke ngakuye ithempeli lakho elingcwele. Amanzi angihaqa, kwaze kwafika emphefumulweni; utwa lwangizungeza, ukhula lwahaqa ikhanda lami. Ngehlela phansi kwezintaba; umhlaba nemigoqo yawo wawungizungeza kuze kube phakade; nokho ukukhuphulile ukuphila kwami ekonakaleni, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami. Lapho umphefumulo wami uphela amandla phakathi kwami, ngamkhumbula uJehova. umkhuleko wami wangena kuwe ethempelini lakho elingcwele. Abaqaphela okuyize zamanga bashiya umusa wabo. Kepha mina ngiyakuhlabela kuwe ngezwi lokubonga; Ngizokufeza lokho engikufungile. Insindiso ivela kuJehova. UJehova wakhuluma nenhlanzi, yamhlanzela uJona emhlabathini owomileyo. (Jona 2:1-10)
Sengathi uNkulunkulu anganibusisa—ikakhulukazi labo asebeze benqaba izibusiso Zakhe nokukhanya Kwakhe kuze kube manje.
