Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoLwesihlanu, Okthoba 22, 2010, 5:51 pm ngesiJalimane ngo www.letztercountdown.org
Uma ngifuna ukuchazela amalungu eqembu lakithi elincane okuthile ngesihloko seBhayibheli sakudala, ngivame ukubeluleka ngokuthi akumelwe sifunde imibhalo ngaphandle kokuhlaba ikhefu. Kufanele sithathe ikhefu ukuze sicabange ngesikhathi, amasiko nezimo zabantu abachazwe lapho. Kufanele sizibeke ngqo esikhundleni sabadlali futhi sibheke yonke into sengathi sisanda kuthatha uhambo lokubuyela emuva futhi sizongena ezicathulweni zabalingisi ababambe iqhaza. Labo abehlulekayo ukwenza njalo bayohlala benenkinga yokuqonda imibhalo yeBhayibheli eyabhalwa eminyakeni engu-3500 - 2000 edlule. Ngenxa yale ndlela engeyinhle yokufunda imibhalo yakudala kanye nenkinga yokuthi silolongwa amasiko ethu kanye nezindlela zethu zokucabanga, amaphutha okuhumusha angena afihle umbono wethu ngeqiniso.
Uma sifuna ukuxazulula izinkinga eziphakanyiswe mayelana nePhasika e ingxenye yokuqala we Amathunzi Esiphambano, sidinga ukwenza lokho kanye engisanda kukuchaza. Kumelwe sizibuyisele emuva ngesikhathi samasiko esakhumbula ukuthi iPhasika lalizogujwa kanjani. Izazi zobuKristu zibonakala zicabanga ukuthi “sizihambise emuva ngesikhathi” ngokwanele kakade uma sifeza uhambo lwengqondo oluya esikhathini sikaJesu, cishe eminyakeni eyizi-2000 ngaphambi kwesikhathi sethu. Bayavuma ukuthi “lapha sinesinye isenzakalo lapho ukungazi kwethu kwanamuhla imikhuba yamaJuda asendulo kubonakala kuyimbangela yokungakwazi kwethu ukuvumelanisa ngokucacile izinkulumo zikaJohane neNcwadi YokuQala Eziyinkulungwane ezibonakala ziphikisana.” {Adventist Bible Commentary, Umqulu 5, k. 537, uhlelo lwesiNgisi}
Kodwa lokhu—njengoba ngizokubonisa manje—kuze kube kude akwanele. Kudingeka senze umzamo omkhulu ngokwengqondo futhi sibuyele emuva eminye iminyaka eyi-1500 ezimpandeni zePhasika, esikhathini lapho lamiswa khona yiNkosi, futhi kufanele singene ezicathulweni zalowo owathola iziyalezo ezivela kuJehova ngokuqondile. Kufanele sigqoke...
Izicathulo ZikaMose
Lapho sifunda amazwi aqotho ezazi zethu—ukuthi kuwukungazi kwanamuhla ngemikhuba yamaJuda yasendulo okusivimbela ukuba siqonde okwenzeka emuva ngalesosikhathi ngo-AD 31, kumelwe siqale siqaphele ukuthi okuthakazelisa kakhulu iNkosi yethu iwukuba sikuqonde ngokugcwele okwenzeka ngaleso sikhathi, ukuze sikwazi ukubhekana nokuhlasela kwabafundisi bamanga. Ukuxosha ukungazi kwethu ngokuthi: "Awu, asikwazi nje, ngakho-ke akubalulekile ekusindisweni kwethu", njengoba kwabhalwa abahlaziyi bethu be-BRI ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso ekupheleni kwesimemezelo sabo sokungazi, kuwumzamo odabukisayo wokumboza ukungakwazi kwabo ukuthola izixazululo zezinkinga ngokusebenzisa isiqondiso sikaMoya oNgcwele, sisebenzisa impikiswano yokuthi sisebenzelana neqiniso elilodwa. Lena indlela yokucabanga edabukisa kakhulu futhi engabazekayo yalabo abathi bangabantu bakaNkulunkulu, okufanele bazame ukwazi ukuthi kwenzekani ekubethelweni koMsindisi ngemininingwane engapheli futhi bavumelanise lokhu nezinhlobo zeBhayibheli, ikakhulukazi njengoba isithunywa sikaNkulunkulu sanikezwa thina, sisisiza ngenqwaba yolwazi nezeluleko zokuthola iqiniso!
Kodwa uNkulunkulu ekuphatheni Kwakhe wayesekwazi ngaphambi kokudalwa kwesikhathi ukuthi ngelinye ilanga siyoba nenkinga ngomkhosi wePhasika, yingakho sithola eBhayibhelini imibiko eminingi okuthi uma ihlanganiswa, icacise kahle ukuthi inkambo yomkhosi wePhasika yahamba kanjani. Ukulandisa kweBhayibheli kuhlanganisa umlingiswa, njengathi, owayengazi lutho ngokuthi iPhasika lalizosebenza kanjani, futhi owayenesithakazelo sokuligcina ngendlela uJehova ayelifuna ngayo. Wayengumlobi wokuqala weBhayibheli, uMose.
Wayesesicathulweni esifanayo nathi. Wayengenalwazi ngokuphelele mayelana nomkhuba wamaJuda. Mhlawumbe abanye benu bangase babuze, “Kungani? WayengumJuda, akunjalo? Bekungafanele yini ukuba azi ukuthi amaJuda akwenza kanjani konke lokho na? Uma ucabanga ngale ndlela, awuzange “ume ukuze ucabange” engangikhulume ngakho ngaphambili. “Wayengubani uMose, ngempela?”, noma okungenani... “Wayengubani uMose ngesikhathi ethola iziyalezo zikaNkulunkulu ngenkambo eqondile yofuduko ngenhlupho yeshumi yaseGibhithe?” Lezi kufanele kube yizindaba okufanele zisikhathaze uma sifuna ukungena ezicathulweni zalowo owathola lezi ziqondiso zokuqala zePhasika ezivela kuJehova.
UMose wayeyindodana yezigqila ezingamaHebheru futhi wazalwa eminyakeni engaba ngu-80 ngaphambi kokuphela kwama-Israyeli iminyaka engu-215 ebugqilini eGibhithe. Ngokomthetho wezwe wamanje, cishe wayezoba yisakhamuzi esikabili: umIsrayeli nowaseGibhithe. Umbuzo olandelayo okufanele sizibuze wona ngothi, uMose wakhuliswa ngasiphi isiko? Siyazi sonke ukuthi wayefihlwe kubhasikidi wokubalekela ukushushiswa kwabaseGibhithe, ababefuna ukubulala zonke izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka emibili ubudala, ngomyalo kaFaro. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ngokuhlakanipha Kwakhe waqondisa ubhasikidi onendodana encane yezigqila eduze kakhulu nosebe lomfula iNayile, kangangokuthi wabonwa enye yamadodakazi kaFaro, futhi wamsindisa umfana omncane. Ngenxa yokuthi wayengakwazi ukondla umntwana, wathumela ukuba kubizwe owesifazane ongumHeberu futhi uNkulunkulu waletha ukuthi kwakungunina kaMose ngokwakhe, owayevunyelwe ukuncelisa indodana yakhe. Lapho umntwana elunyuliwe, wanikwa indodakazi kaFaro futhi waba “indodana yakhe”. Ungakufunda konke lokhu ku-Eksodusi 2:1-10.
Wakhulela kuphi uMose? Yimaphi amasiko amthonya? Okokuqala, kusobala ukuthi uMose, njengendodana yendodakazi kaFaro nomzukulu kaFaro, kumelwe ukuba wathola imfundo ephakeme kakhulu esigodlweni yizazi zaseGibhithe. Ukwakheka kwakhe okuyinhloko kwakungokwesiko laseGibhithe, futhi njengoba sazi, lesi kwakuyisimiso sezombangazwe nenkolo esibonakala ngokukhulekelwa kwelanga nokukhulekelwa komuntu ophilayo njengoNkulunkulu, uFaro.
Kodwa abaningi bayabona emavesini alandelayo ukuthi uMose wayebunjwe ngumama wakhe omzalayo nendawo yabo, ngoba wathukuthela ngomGibhithe owayeshaya isigqila esingumHeberu, wambulala (Eksodusi 2:11-12). Lokhu kubonisa ukuthi wayezwelana nezigqila ezingamaHeberu, nokuthi unina omzalayo wamthonya. Futhi manje, abantu abaningi benza iphutha lokukholelwa ukuthi uMose wayefunde amasiko nezici eziqondene nenkolo zama-Israyeli emkhayeni wakhe wemvelo. Ngakho-ke bakholelwa ukuthi uMose naye wayeqonda, ngokwesibonelo, iSabatha nokuthi ama-Israyeli ayengenakuligcina iSabatha, ngoba abaseGibhithe babewanqabele. Bacabanga ukuthi amaJuda angalugcina lonke ulwazi lwawo lwenkolo namasiko. Nokho, akumelwe sikhohlwe ukuthi uMose ngokwakhe wayengumlobi wokuqala weBhayibheli, futhi ngaphambi kwalokho, wawungekho nakancane umbhalo wamasiko nenkolo yama-Israyeli!
Indaba ebaluleke kakhulu nebalulekile okufanele siyicabangele ukuthi, iyiphi ikhalenda uMose ayeyiqonda? Wayekuqonda kanjani ukuqala kosuku, yayiyini ukuqala kwenyanga kuye, futhi wayekuqonda kanjani ukuqala konyaka? Kuphela uma singakwazi ukuxazulula le mibuzo lapho singakwazi ukuqonda lokho uNkulunkulu ayefuna ukukutshela uMose lapho ekhuluma naye ku-Eksodusi, iSahluko 12, futhi waqala ukumfundisa uhlobo lwePhasika, okungukuthi ukulandelana kwezinqubo zemicikilisho ekuphumeni eGibhithe, esesivele siyihlolisisile kancane engxenyeni yokuqala “yeMithunzi Yesiphambano”.
Kuphela uma sifaka lokhu ekucabangeni kwethu lapho siyofinyelela iziphetho ezifanele. Kodwa uma sishiya le mibuzo ingaphendulwanga futhi sithatha ngaphandle kophenyo olwengeziwe ukuthi uMose, njengomIsrayeli, wathola imiyalelo kaNkulunkulu enokuqonda okuphelele kwekhalenda lamaJuda elidala, sifika ekuphikisaneni okudidayo kwenkinga yamaPhasika amabili.
Abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi uMose wayeziqonda zombili izimiso zamakhalenda (amaJuda namaGibhithe) ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wayeyokhuluma naye kuEksodusi esebenzisa isilinganiso sesikhathi sama-Israyeli. Kodwa njengoba sizobona, lokhu kuwukucabanga okungalungile ngokuyisisekelo, ngoba akunaki ukuthi amaHeberu kakade ayesehlale iminyaka engu-350 ezweni labaseGibhithe, amakhosi awo, lapho kuzalwa uMose. Lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma noMose, ngisho neminyaka engu-215 yobugqila obunobudlova kakhulu yayisidlulile esizweni nangokwesiko lama-Israyeli. Asikho isizwe ebesingagcina ngokuphelele isiko laso ngaphansi kwalezi zimo. Futhi lokhu kwakukubi nakakhulu kubantu ababengenawo amarekhodi abhaliwe amasiko abo futhi ababekwazi ukudlulisela ulwazi lwabo ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane ngezwi elikhulunywayo. Iminyaka engu-215, babephoqwe ukuba basebenze ngalawo mahora okusebenza abaseGibhithe ababewanqumele wona ngokwekhalenda labo. Ama-Israyeli akha imibhoshongo yenkolo kanye nonkulunkulu babakhulekeli belanga—izakhiwo ezisenza simangale nanamuhla. Ayengahlangani nje nesiko laseGibhithe. Njengoba babekhonza abaseGibhithe njengezigqila, baphoqeleka ukuba bayeke zonke izinkonzo zabo futhi bazivumelanise ngokuphelele nabaseGibhithe. Isiko laseGibhithe, njengawo wonke amasiko okukhulekela ilanga, kwakuyisiko elicindezelayo, futhi umfanekiso kaDaniyeli ubonisa ukuthi wonke lamasiko adlulisa izimfundiso zawo eziyisisekelo kusukela kwesinye isikhathi kuye kwesinye, futhi yingakho ukukhulekelwa kwelanga kwaseBhabhiloni kusagcina indawo yakho “ecashile” ohlelweni lobupapa.
ISabatha lama-Israyeli lokukhulekela uNkulunkulu uMdali laqedwa ngomthetho futhi esikhundleni salo kwaba yilanga (iSonto) lokukhonza unkulunkulu welanga. Isigqila asilukhethi usuku esiphumula ngalo; kwakunqunyelwe kuye, uma evunyelwe ngisho nokuphumula usuku olulodwa. Isigqila asizikhethi ukuthi usuku lwaso luqala nini; kunqunyelwe kuye, futhi isigqila asinqumi ukuqala kwezinyanga noma iminyaka. Bazimisele ngaye inkosi yobukhosi bakhe. Isigqila asifundi esikoleni sabantu bakubo kodwa sifundelwa umsebenzi wezigqila “ezikoleni” zenkosi yaso, okungenani abanenhlanhla okungadingeki bamane bagxobe izitini. Ubugqila yisimo lapho umuntu elahlekelwa ngokuphelele ukuzimela kanye nenkululeko yokuzikhethela ngenkani.
Ngisho nanamuhla, iqembu elincane lezigebengu eziphakeme ezilawula yonke imali emhlabeni lilungiselela ukugqilazwa okusha. Lesi sikhathi, hhayi nje idlanzana elincane, kodwa sonke isintu. Bafuna ukuphoqa sonke isintu ukuba sigcine inkolo yokukhulekela ilanga njengoba kwakwenziwa kudala kuma-Israyeli eGibhithe. Ngaphansi kwalesi simo, ayikho indawo yekhalenda lakho noma usuku olukhethekile lokuphumula njengeSabatha. Ngemva kweminyaka embalwa nje ebugqila, ama-Israyeli cishe ayeseqalile kakade ‘ukukhohlwa’ ikhalenda lawo elikhethekile futhi azithoba ekucindezelweni kwezempi kombuso obusayo. Nokho, uNkulunkulu uyasiqinisekisa, njengoIsrayeli ongokomoya namuhla, ukuthi uzongenela mathupha ukuze lokhu kungaphinde kwenzeke, kodwa kufanele sibekezele futhi sihlale sithembekile ngaphansi kokucindezela okukhulu kunanini ngaphambili emlandweni wesintu.
Ngakho, ngisho noma uMose wayechayeke emathonyeni amasiko amabili, akazange alifunde ikhalenda leqiniso lendalo kaJehova. Wayengaphansi kwethonya lamasiko amabili ayengazi ngekhalenda lendalo leqiniso. Isiko lokuqala kwaba abaseGibhithe, ababegcina ikhalenda elixubile elikhethekile kakhulu lemvelo yenyanga-solar-stellar, kanti enye kwakuyisiko labazali bakhe bemvelo ababekhohlwe ikhalenda lendalo. Ngakho, lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma noMose ku-Eksodusi 12, kwakungenxa yakhe njengoba kwenzeka kithi: waye “abangenalwazi ngemikhuba yamaJuda asendulo” ngezindlela ezimbili:
- Wayengalazi ikhalenda leqiniso lendalo futhi alizange lifundiswe kuye.
- Wayengawazi amaholide amaJuda ngoba ayengakamiswa uNkulunkulu.
Okuwukuphela kosuku olukhethekile olwamiswa nguNkulunkulu, ngokudala kudala, kwakuyiSabatha, elaliphindaphindeka njalo ngosuku lwesikhombisa, futhi nalo lwalungcwatshwe njengelingasekho phakathi nobugqila. Ngaphambi kokuphuma eGibhithe, imikhosi yamaJuda yayingakamiswa ngisho nangezinhlobo zayo. ISabatha lase likhona eminyakeni eyizi-2500 selokhu kwadalwa u-Adamu futhi laligcinwe okhokho, njengoNowa no-Abrahama, kodwa isiko lama-Israyeli eminyakeni engama-215 ngemva kokuqala kobugqila cishe babazi ukuthi kwake kwaba khona “okukhethekile”, kodwa base beyekile ukugcina iSabatha.
Ngakho-ke, singase sizizwe sikhululekile ngokuqiniseka ezicathulweni zikaMose, uma manje sizama ukuqonda kabusha lokho uNkulunkulu afuna ukusichazela kona ku-Eksodusi, Isahluko 12. Asazi lutho; asiqondi lutho lwesiko lamaJuda! Kumelwe sizimisele ukucabanga ngendlela uMose ayecabanga ngayo lapho ethola imiyalo yohlobo lwePhasika. Kufanele sigqoke izicathulo zikaMose, owayeqonda ikhalenda elilodwa kuphela, futhi lelo kwakuyileGibhithe!
Ikhalenda Lesithathu
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi siyathanda noma singathandi, uma sifuna ukugqoka izicathulo zikaMose, kufanele sifunde izici eziyisisekelo zekhalenda lesithathu: ikhalenda laseGibhithe lasendulo, okwakuyikhalenda likaMose lamanje nelisebenzayo ngaleso sikhathi.
Kodwa ungakhathazeki! Ubuchopho babafundi bami sebuvele buqeqeshelwe ukucabanga ngezinhlelo zekhalenda ezahlukahlukene, ngakho-ke ngeke kube nzima kakhulu kuwe ukuqonda leli khalenda laseGibhithe elibonakala liyinkimbinkimbi. Ngizobeka udaba kulokho okubalulekile kithina. Ngenhlanhla, ama-hieroglyphs aqondwe yi-Rosetta Stone eyatholakala ngendlela emangalisayo, imibhalo eminingi yaseGibhithe yasendulo emibhoshongweni ehlaba umxhwele namathuna ikwenza kucace namuhla ukuthi abaseGibhithe babeliqonda kanjani ikhalenda labo. Empeleni, sazi ngaleli khalenda kakhulu kunekhalenda lendalo kaNkulunkulu. Noma ubani osesha i-inthanethi ngamagama afanelekile azothola amawebhusayithi amaningi aphathelene naleli khalenda.
1. Izinsuku zaseGibhithe lasendulo zaziqala ekuphumeni kwelanga. Ilanga lalingunkulunkulu wabo ophakeme (uyise womthwali wokukhanya, uLusifa). Ngakho, lapho ukuntwela kokusa kuqala kubonakala ekuseni, uRa, ilanga, waqala ukubusa. Nokho, uma ilanga selishonile, kwaqala isikhathi esibi kubo. Ubusuku kwakuyisikhathi sokwesaba nokwesaba, ngoba unkulunkulu wabo “wayelele”. Ngizwa amazwi afanayo avela kubalandeli bemfundiso yeSabatha lenyanga, abathi usuku lwamaJuda lwaluqala ekuseni kakhulu hhayi ekushoneni kwelanga. Ngakho, bephula iBhayibheli futhi bathole abalandeli ngokufaka ukungabaza nokungaqiniseki. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi bayisebenzisa kanjani indlela yokucabanga yaseGibhithe lasendulo ukuze bakhangise ngokukhonza kwabo kobuhedeni kulawo ma-Adventist angafundi ngokwanele ngomthandazo futhi angenalo ikhambi lokumelana nale “mvubelo yabaSadusi”. Ekugcineni balawulwa yibona ngokuphelele.
Umqondo wokuthi usuku lwaluyoqala ekuseni ekuphumeni kwelanga wawusuvele wethulwa ekuqaleni komlando wesintu lapho uSathane efuna ukubeka uyise okwakuthiwa, ilanga, esikhundleni esingesikaNkulunkulu uMdali kuphela, owaqala ngokuqinisekile indalo ebumnyameni (ebusuku) lapho kwakungekho ukukhanya. “Makube khona ukukhanya” kwakuyisenzo sokuqala sokudala, futhi la mazwi akhulunywa ebusuku lapho ukukhanya kungekho. Abakhulekeli belanga kuphela abaqonda isikhathi sasebusuku njengesimo esiphakathi nendawo esingekho ngempela, futhi lokhu kubabangela ukukhathazeka nokungakhululeki. Ngakho-ke, bazama ukudelela isikhathi uJesu achitha ngaso amahora amaningi emthandazweni ehambisana noYise, ezilungiselela ngokubuka futhi ethandazela umsebenzi wangosuku olulandelayo—noma ngisho isikhathi lapho eqala khona usizi Lwakhe ensimini yaseGetsemane, lapho enza khona ukuthi zonke izono zethu zibekwe phezu Kwakhe, futhi waxwayisa ngokuphindaphindiwe abafundi ukuthi bangalali kodwa babuke futhi bathandaze—njengomlamuli “obalulekile”. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuthi sikholwe “indaba yendalo” yabo ngosuku oluqala ekuseni, okuyinto ephikisana ngokuphelele nendaba yeBhayibheli, “Kwaba ngukuhlwa nokusa, usuku lokuqala”. USathane ngaso sonke isikhathi uzama ukubangela ukudideka ngezinceku akanye nazo, kodwa njalo siyawathola amaqhinga akhe lapho sifunda izinkolo zaseBabiloni lasendulo namahlumela azo, njengokukhulekela ilanga kwaseGibhithe.
Uma umuntu efuna ukusitshela ukuthi amaJuda ayekuqonda ukuqala kosuku ekuntweleni kokusa, nokuthi kufanele sivumelane nalokho, ufuna ukusihuga ogibeni lokulihumusha ngokungeyikho ikhalenda lendalo ukuze sifinyelele iziphetho ezingamanga, okusilethela ekugcineni ukuba sigcine imikhuba yobuqaba futhi seqe imiyalo kaNkulunkulu. Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi izinkolelo ezihlukahlukene ziyoba khona kanye ezulwini nokuthi abagcini beSabatha lenyanga bayohlala lapho ngokuvumelana ngokuphelele nabagcini beSabatha bosuku lwesikhombisa. Cha, bafowethu nodadewethu! UJesu wasixwayisa eBhayibhelini izikhathi ezingamakhulu ngokukhwabanisa nemvubelo (izimfundiso zamanga) zabafundisi bamanga. Uma leli vesi elithi yilowo nalowo wahlulelwa ngokolwazi lwakhe kuphela kufanele liqondwe njengelisho ukuthi noma ubani owafuna iqiniso futhi waphambuka futhi wafinyelela iziphetho ezingalungile naye wayeyosindiswa, kwakungeke kudingeke neze ukuxwayisa ngomkhonyovu, njengoba kuleso simo noma ubani okhohlisiwe wayeyoba sezulwini, emane enze iphutha. Khona-ke sasingeke sibe khona ngisho nesidingo sokufuna uNkulunkulu neqiniso, ngoba wawungeke ube khona umehluko phakathi kwalabo ababethole “iqiniso langempela” nalabo ababethole “iqiniso lamanga”.
Mangaki “amaqiniso” akhona? NgokweSonto Lomhlaba Wonke, maningi amaqiniso njengoba kunezinkolo nezinkolo ezihlukahlukene. Ngempela, sebebuthana manje enhlanganweni yomhlaba wonke yamasonto ukuze bashiswe njengotshani. Ngokwamazwi aseBhayibhelini avela kuMdali, iNdodana ezelwe yodwa kaNkulunkulu uBaba, linye kuphela iqiniso: “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kwami. (UJohn 14: 6) "UNkulunkulu unguMoya; futhi labo abamkhonzayo kufanele bamkhulekele ngomoya nangeqiniso." ( Johane 4:24 ) Uma iSabatha lenyanga laliwukuchazwa okunembile komthetho kaNkulunkulu wesine, wonke umuntu “owenza ngenkani” iSabatha njalo ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa wayeyolahleka. Uma okuphambene kuyiqiniso, kwangathi uNkulunkulu angaba nomusa kwabakholwayo amanga enyanga yeSabatha, esikhundleni sosuku lukaNkulunkulu uMdali wafaka usuku lokukhulekelwa kukanina kaSathane, unkulunkulukazi wenyanga, futhi kanjalo lwagcina usuku lokuphumula lobuqaba. Ngakho-ke kubaluleke kakhulu ukwazi ukuthi liyini iqiniso, futhi kumelwe silifune njengokungathi liyindaba yokuphila nokufa. Ngempela, kuyindaba yokuphila kwethu okuphakade.
UJesu, embuzweni wabafundi ngokuthi ziyoba yini izibonakaliso zokuphela, waphendula ngokuthi kufanele baqaphele ukuthi kungabikho muntu oyobakhohlisa. Lokho kusho ukuthi kulezi zinsuku zokugcina, ukukhwabanisa kuyodlanga kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, hlolani izinto ezilethwa phambi kwenu kulezi zinsuku! Bheka umlayezo we-Orion, hlola iSabatha lenyanga! Fakazela ukuthi yini, emnyombweni wayo, ngokuhambisana nezimfundiso ezanikezwa ibandla lokugcina likaNkulunkulu ngesithunywa sikaNkulunkulu, u-Ellen G. White! Sebenzisa iBhayibheli lakho! Bhekani abaprofethi abathunywe kini ngebhayibheli nikhuleke, nikhuleke, nikhuleke ukuba uMoya oNgcwele unikezwe ukwehlukanisa amanga eqinisweni elikhona nelilodwa langempela! Angeke kube namaqiniso amabili ahlukene mayelana nodaba. Igama elithi “iqiniso” kakade alilifaki. Abukho ubuningi beqiniso! Awekho "amaqiniso". Akekho oyolethwa ukweqa imiyalo kaNkulunkulu ngokukhwabanisa onezaba, ngoba ukuba bebeyizitsha ezihlanzekile, ngabe bamukele uMoya oNgcwele ukuze baholelwe kulo lonke iqiniso. UJesu wathembisa lokhu. Ingabe sizomenza umqambimanga?
Noma ubani okholelwa ukuthi isizwe samaJuda sasithi ukuphuma kwelanga kube ukuqala kosuku ulungile kuphela isikhathi phakathi neminyaka engu-215 yobugqila eGibhithe lapho babengenayo enye indlela. Kodwa uNkulunkulu, ngemva nje koFuduko eGibithe, waphinde wafundisa amaIsrayeli ekuqaleni kosuku okufanele. Okuningi ngalokho kamuva. Izinsuku zaseGibhithe lasendulo zingafundwa ngemininingwane eminingi ku Amaqiniso aseGibhithe lasendulo.
2. Ukuqala kwenyanga yaseGibhithe lasendulo ichazwa kahle kakhulu I-Wikipedia - Ikhalenda lenyanga yaseGibhithe lasendulo [ngesiJalimane, ngakho-ke sicela usebenzise umhumushi oxhumeke ku-inthanethi]. Ngikhawulela isifinyezo esimele umehluko oyinhloko maqondana nekhalenda lamaJuda, njengoba kwanqunywa engxenyeni yokuqala yeSifundo Sethunzi. EGibhithe lasendulo, okwakuyisiko elibalulekile leminyaka eyinkulungwane eyahlukene, kwakunezinhlobo zekhalenda ezihlukene, okuhlanganisa nokwehlukanisa phakathi kwekhalenda lokuphatha nekhalenda lenkolo. Konke lokhu sikufunde ngamarekhodi asethempelini.
Singafunda ekhasini lewebhu elishiwo ngenhla ukuthi la makhalenda madala kangakanani ngempela:
Izinkomba ezindala kakhulu ezibhaliwe zedatha yekhalenda lenyanga zingatholakala cishe ngo-2350 BC emibhalweni yephiramidi. Ukusetshenziswa kwamarekhodi ezinkanyezi sekuvele kubhalwe phansi yiNkosi u-Wadji ngo-2880 BC.
Ngakho, eminyakeni engaba ngu-800 ngaphambi kokuba uMose athole ikhalenda lendalo kuJehova, sinobufakazi bokuthi kwakunekhalenda likaSathane eliqinisekile eGibhithe, esizweni sokukhulekelwa kwelanga.
Ake sifunde kabanzi ngaleli khalenda lenyanga:
Cishe ngo-70 BC, amaGemino aseRhodes achaza ikhalenda lenyanga laseGibhithe lasendulo “njengesimiso esingavamile, abaseGibhithe, ngokungafani namanye amasiko abangasisebenzisi ukuze banqume unyaka wabo.. Kubo, imikhosi engcwele ibalulekile. Amakhalenda abo agxile kulokhu.” Isimemezelo se-Geminos sibonisa ngokufanelekile indima yenganekwane yamakhalenda enyanga aseGibhithe, umsebenzi wawo oyinhloko wawulinganiselwe ekuqoqweni kwemikhosi yasezulwini, kuyilapho Ikhalenda lokuphatha laseGibhithe lisebenza njengekhalenda lonyaka.
Ubupristi babunomsebenzi wokunquma amadili asezulwini. Lokhu kwenziwa izazi zezinkanyezi ezinekhono, ezamemezela izinsuku zomkhosi “nge-Provost” (“Izibukeli Ezikhulu Kunazo Zonke”) ngokubheka nokubala. Ngemva kwesimemezelo, usuku lwangempela lwaphawulwa ekhalendeni lokuphatha futhi lwabhalwa encwadini yezenzakalo zethempeli.
Sibona embhalweni ukuthi ikhalenda lenyanga yaseGibhithe lasendulo lalingenalo lutho ekunqumeni iminyaka, kodwa ngokuzimisela kwemikhosi “engcwele” yasezulwini. Sesiyabona kakade egameni elithi “imikhosi yasezulwini” ukuthi laliphathelene nokukhulekelwa kwezidalwa zasezulwini (ilanga nenyanga), okuwukukhonza izithombe, ukukhulekela izinto ezidaliwe.
Kodwa, yaqala kanjani inyanga entsha yabaseGibhithe lasendulo?
Ngokungafani namanye amazwe asendulo aseMpumalanga Eseduze, inyanga yenyanga awuzange uqale isikhathi esifushane ngemva kokuthwasa kwenyanga ngocwezu lokuqala (ukukhanya okusha), kodwa ngosuku lokuqala lokungabonakali kwenyanga ekuntweleni kokusa. Ubude benkathi phakathi kokudala (ukuncipha kokugcina) nokukhanya okusha (ucezu lokuqala) buncike ezintweni ezihlanganisa indawo yendawo yesayithi yokubuka. Ezindaweni eziseningizimu nenkabazwe esenyakatho, isikhathi sokungabonakali kwenyanga sifushane kunasezindaweni ezisenyakatho, okuholela ezigabeni ezinde zokubuka inyanga ezindaweni eziseningizimu uma kuqhathaniswa nezifunda ezisenyakatho.
Okokuqala, siyaqaphela ukuthi abaseGibhithe lasendulo—njengoba kuchaziwe ngaphambili—babethembele kakhulu ekuphumeni kwelanga. Ngakho, inyanga yabo eqala ngokunengqondo yayingeke incike ekubonweni kokuqala kocezwana lokuqala ekushoneni kwelanga, kodwa kumlingani wayo, ukungabonakali kokuqala kwenyanga enciphayo ekuntweleni kokusa. Ngakho, nakuba amaJuda asendulo ayeqala izinyanga zawo ngokocezwana lokuqala (“ukukhanya okusha”), inyanga yaseGibithe lasendulo yayiqala njalo ngokuthwasa kwenyanga yezinkanyezi ekuseni, lapho kwakungasekho “kukhanya okudala” okubonakalayo.
Lokhu kuholela ekushintsheni kokuqala kwenyanga phakathi kwabaseGibhithe nama-Israyeli, okuwumphumela womehluko wesikhathi senyanga entsha yezinkanyezi. Ububanzi besikhathi bokungabonakali kulesi sikhathi sasendulo, bubonakala kuzo zonke izinyanga etafuleni elinamathiselwe esihlokweni se-Wikipedia. Isikhathi singamahora angama-30 - 33 ezinyangeni ezibalulekile kithi (March, April). Sizobuyela kuleli thebula ngokuningiliziwe, futhi sizocacisa isiqalo esiqondile senyanga yaseGibhithe lasendulo nokuthi ihlobana kanjani nesibalo samaJuda asendulo. Sisafuna ukugqoka izicathulo zikaMose owayekuqonda konke lokhu njengoba wayefundiswe abaseGibhithe lasendulo esikoleni sasesigodlweni sikaFaro.
3. Unyaka waseGibhithe lasendulo wawuncike enkanyezini (Sirius) kanye nokukhukhula kweNayile futhi base bevele bejwayelene nomjikelezo wezinsuku ezingama-365 njengathi, kodwa babengenazo izinsuku ze-leap noma iminyaka ye-leap. Lokho kwethulwa kamuva ekhulwini lesithathu ngaphambi kukaKristu.
At I-Wikipedia - Unyaka wasendulo waseGibhithe [ngesiJalimane, sicela usebenzise umhumushi we-Google] esikufundayo mayelana nale timu:
Ikhalenda laseGibhithe laliyikhalenda elisekelwe emvelweni elinomumo wezinkanyezi.
Ukuqala konyaka kusukela ezikhathini zakuqala kwanqunywa ukukhuphuka kwe-heliacal kwenkanyezi uSirius kanye nezikhukhula zeNayile. Kamuva, kwaphinde kwethulwa ikhalenda lokuphatha, elibuye lincike ku-Sirius "njengekhalenda lonyaka elizulazulayo". Ukuguqulwa kwekhalenda likaPtolemy III ngo-237 BC kwaholela ekwethulweni kosuku lwe-leap njalo eminyakeni emine njengosuku lwesithupha lwe-Heriu-renpet olwafakwa onyakeni ojwayelekile. Ngokufa kukaPtolemy III, umthetho wonyaka we-leap waphela okwamanje ekhalendeni elisemthethweni lokuphatha. Kodwa-ke, amafomu amabili ekhalenda laseGibhithe aqhubeka esetshenziswa ngokufana nangemva kwalokho. Kufanele igcinelwe u-Augustus ukuba abe umbusi wokuqala waseRoma, ngonyaka wama-26 BC, owabuyisela kabusha uhlobo lwekhalenda likaPtolemy III ngokwekhalenda likaJulius.
Usuku Lonyaka Omusha lwekhalenda laseGibhithe ezikhathini zakuqala lwaluhlobene nokukhukhula kweNayile eGibhithe elingezansi noma elingenhla. Izikhathi ezingenzeka zibhekwa njengo-4213-4186 BC we-Elephantine kanye no-2783-2764 BC we-Memphis. Njengombandela owengeziwe kufanele sibheke ukungabonakali kwezinsuku ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa kukaSirius, owakhethwa eGibhithe lasendulo njengenkathi yokucwiliswa kwezidumbu. Ukuthatha i-Elephantine njengendawo yokubuka, lesi senzakalo senzeka kuphela esikhathini esisuka ku-4280 kuya ku-4160 BC, kanti eMemphis njengendawo eyinkomba isikhathi esidingekayo sanikezwa kusukela eMbusweni Omusha. Imibhalo yasendulo yaseGibhithe ibonisa ukuthi ukungabonakali kwezinsuku ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa kwase kwaziwa ngaphambi koBukhosi be-18, futhi iMemphis ingakhishwa njengomthombo wokubhekisela.
Kuleli khalenda laseGibhithe lasendulo, sikubona ngokucacile futhi ukukhulekelwa kwezidalwa zasezulwini njengonkulunkulu. Usuku lwaluncike ekuzalweni kwelanga (ukuphuma kwelanga). Ukuqala kwenyanga kwakuboshelwe enyangeni futhi—njengoba sizobona kamuva ngokucace ngokwengeziwe—enganekwaneni ephathelene nonkulunkulu baseGibhithe, eyayihlotshaniswa nokufa nokuvuka komunye wonkulunkulu babo, uHorus. Futhi unyaka wawuncike kunkanyezi uSirius.
Ezinkolweni eziningi, kunophawu olumelela “uziqu-zintathu” welanga, inyanga, nenkanyezi...
Iqiniso lokuthi ukukhulekelwa kwelanga kwaseGibhithe lasendulo kusaqhubeka nanamuhla libonakala embonini yelanga enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni—iSt. Peter's Square eRoma, “isandla sakhe sewashi” siyi-obelisk yasekuqaleni yaseGibhithe... Sesha iwebhu ukuze uyithole! Ungathola futhi amamuvi ku-YouTube abonisa i-sundial ye-Vatican isebenza, nokuthi sekungamakhulu eminyaka ikhomba idethi ethile ngo-2012.
Mhlawumbe ngizobhala okuningi ngalokhu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi esigabeni Ngemuva kwemigqa yesitha.
Uma sigqoka izicathulo zikaMose, siyaqaphela ukuthi kumelwe ukuba uNkulunkulu wayenenkinga ngoMose—inkinga esasingayinaki ngokuphelele ngokufunda iBhayibheli ngalé. UMose kanye nama-Israyeli ekuthunjweni base belahlekelwe amasiko abo okuqala. Umuntu akanakucabanga ukuthi uMose wayezomqonda uNkulunkulu uma wayekhulume naye ngebizo lekhalenda lamaJuda, ngoba lalingakaze lifundiswe kuye.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu akakhulumi nathi ngezimfumbe. Ufuna simqonde. Okuningi kwalokho uNkulunkulu akusho kubaprofethi kufihlwe emifanekisweni ngisho nasezithombeni, kodwa lapho uNkulunkulu eqala ukukhuluma noMose eSahlukweni 12 sika-Eksodusi, kwakungekhona ngeziprofetho okwakumelwe ziqoshwe izizukulwane ezilandelayo ngemva kwamakhulu eminyaka noma izinkulungwane zeminyaka; kwakumayelana neziqondiso ezicacile, ngoba ezinsukwini eziyishumi ngemva kwesimemezelo, iwundlu kakade kwakufanele libekwe eceleni, futhi ngemva kwezinsuku ezingu-4 kwadingeka lihlatshwe ukuze ama-Israyeli aphunyuke kuleyo ngelosi embi yokufa eyayiyalwe ukuba ibulale wonke amazibulo. Kwakufanele baqonde kahle ukuthi yiluphi usuku ababezopenda izinsika zeminyango yabo ngegazi lewundlu.
Uma uNkulunkulu, ngaleso sikhathi, wayefuna uMose ukuba aqale abhale phansi ukuthi hlobo luni lwenkomba yosuku nesikhathi, futhi kuluphi uhlelo lwekhalenda uNkulunkulu ayekhuluma ngalo ngempela, lesi sishayo cishe sasingeke sidlule kuma-Israyeli, ngoba uMose wayezohluleka, njengoba ayengaliqondi ikhalenda lamaJuda. Lesi yisahluko sokuqala seBhayibheli lapho uNkulunkulu enikeza khona iziqondiso ezicacile mayelana nezikhathi zePhasika, futhi lokhu kuyisimo esidinga ukuqonda ngokucacile lokho okwashiwo. Noma yikuphi ukungaqondi kwakuyobulala, futhi kwakumayelana nokuphila noma ukufa.
Ake siphinde sifunde amavesi athile eziyalezo zikaJehova, futhi kulokhu, sizifake ngokuphelele izicathulo zikaMose:
Imithetho KaNkulunkulu Yokuhamba
UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni ezweni laseGibhithe, ethi, (Eksodusi 12:1)
Wonke la mavesi alandelayo esizowacabangela aphuma ngokuqondile emlonyeni kaJehova. Yile ndlela ezazwiwa ngayo encekwini Yakhe uMose, owayengaziqondi izilinganiso zesikhathi njengezikhathi zamaJuda, njengoba sasicabange ngaphambili futhi ngokungalungile. Wayengalazi ikhalenda lendalo yamaJuda, ngendlela esingalazi ngayo namuhla. Wayeluqonda ulwazi lomlomo oluvela kuNkulunkulu ngokuhambisana nohlelo lwakhe lwereferensi, ikhalenda laseGibhithe lasendulo.
Nokho, uNkulunkulu wayeseqalile ngaleso sikhathi ukufundisa uMose umehluko othile ukuze ambuyisele kancane kancane ekhalendeni lendalo lokuqala alisungula. UNkulunkulu wafundisa uMose ikhalenda lendalo, futhi uma siziqonda lezo zifundo ohlelweni lukaMose lwereferensi, usifundisa nathi.
Okokuqala, uNkulunkulu wamemezela ukuthi inani lenyanga yekhalenda yokudala lalingahambisani nenani lenyanga yamanje yekhalenda laseGibhithe uMose ayecabanga ukuthi ilungile. Izinyanga zaseGibhithe zazibizwa ngokuthi “Pesdjenet” futhi zazibalwa kusukela ku-1 kuya ku-12 (X). Njengoba isikhukhula seNayile neSirius sichaza inyanga yokuqala yaseGibhithe lasendulo, futhi ikhalenda lonyaka lokuzulazula cishe yayisasebenza, okwanqunywa noSirius, isikhathi lapho uJehova ekhuluma noMose kwakungeyona inyanga yokugcina noma yokuqala yaseGibhithe yonyaka. KuMose, lesi sitatimende esilandelayo kumelwe ukuba sammangaza kakhulu:
Kulenyanga [chôdesh = ucezwana lokuqala, ukukhanya okusha] kuyakuba kini ukuqala kwezinyanga, kube yinyanga yokuqala emnyakeni kini. ( Eksodusi 12:2 )
Ngala mazwi, uNkulunkulu wabhekisela enyangeni yokuqala ebonakalayo yeFC ngasekupheleni kuka-March noma ekuqaleni kuka-April ngonyaka cishe we-1500 BC futhi ngalo musho olula wachazela uMose "izinto ezintsha" ezimbili ngokuqonda kwakhe ikhalenda.
- The ucezwana lokuqala ekushoneni kwelanga luphawu lwenyanga entsha.
- Impela le nyanga eqalayo kufanele kube inyanga yokuqala yekhalenda lamaJuda “elisha”. Zonke ezinye izinyanga zazincike kuwo.
Lokho kulula ukukuqonda—kuMose nakithi. Nokho, kwakungavamile kakhulu kuMose, ngoba kuye kwakungeyona into “evamile” ukubheka ekushoneni kwelanga ukuze kube ucezu lokuqala, noma lena kube inyanga yokuqala, ngoba wayejwayele isimiso sekhalenda esihluke ngokuphelele. Kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi akuchazwanga kuMose ukuthi ngesinye isikhathi kuzokwengezwa inyanga ye-leap, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuqala kosuku bekungakamiswa kabusha. Lokho kwakuyokwenzeka kamuva, ngemva koFuduko lwaseGibhithe. Akufanele sifunde embhalweni into engekho. KuMose, kwakunzima ngokwanele ukugaya kangangokuthi kwadingeka afunde indlela entsha yokubala inyanga nenyanga nokunquma ukuqala kwenyanga. UMose wayesaphikelela ekuboneni kwakhe ukuthi izinsuku zaqala ngokubonakala kwelanga ekuntweleni kokusa futhi zaqhubeka kwaze kwaba ngakusasa ekuseni.
Manje sifunda okulandelayo kweziyalezo zikaJehova:
Khulumani kuyo yonke inhlangano yakwa-Israyeli, nithi: Ngosuku lweshumi kule nyanga bayakuzithathela, kube yilowo nalowo iwundlu ngokwezindlu zawoyise, iwundlu ngendlu; ( Eksodusi 12:3 )
Iwundlu lenu liyakuba lingenasici, iduna elinomnyaka munye, nilikhiphe ezimvini noma ezimbuzini, niligcine kuze kube phakade. ngosuku lweshumi nane lwaleyo nyanga: yonke inhlangano yenhlangano yakwa-Israyeli iyakuyihlaba kusihlwa. ((Funda u-Eksodusi 12:5-6.)
Kuleli qophelo ngithanda ukukhuluma ngetafula lomehluko wesikhathi phakathi kokungabonwa kokuqala "kokukhanya okudala" kanye "nokukhanya okusha" (i-FC moon) engikushilo ekuqaleni. Leli tafula elincane I-Wikipedia - Ikhalenda laseGibhithe lasendulo lisitshela ukuthi esifundeni saseMemphis, kwakukhona umehluko wesikhathi wamahora angu-30 ngo-March, namahora angu-33 ngo-April, phakathi kwalezi zigaba ezimbili zenyanga ezisithakazelisayo. Manje kufanele sizame ukuthola ukuthi zingaki "izinsuku zedethi" umehluko okushoyo, uma siqhathanisa ukuqala okuhlukene kwenyanga yezinhlelo zamakhalenda amabili. Uma uthi nhlá, amahora angu-30-33 abonakala ekhomba umehluko wesikhathi ongaphezu “kosuku olulodwa” (amahora angu-24). Kodwa ingabe kunjalo ngempela?
Ukuhlola lokhu, ngidale ithebula elifingqiwe elibonisa ubudlelwano phakathi kokuqala kwezinyanga ezimbili, okwaseGibhithe kanye nokwa-Israyeli.
Ithebula libonisa ukuthi inyanga entsha yaseGibhithe kumelwe ukuba yaqala ekuphumeni kwelanga ekuseni ngalolo suku kusihlwa okwaqala ukubonakala ngalo inyanga yokuqala, manje esikhulunywa ngayo ohlelweni lwethu lwezithenjwa. Lokhu kuhambisana nomehluko wesikhathi ofika emahoreni ayi-12, noma ekuseni nakusihlwa kosuku olufanayo, ekucabangeni kwethu usuku. Kodwa-ke, omunye angase aphikise ngokuthi umehluko wesikhathi wamahora angu-30 - 33 kwezinye izimo ungashintshwa ngendlela yokuthi kube khona umehluko wosuku lonke lwedethi. Okokuqala, nami ngacabanga kanjalo, ngaze ngathola ukuthi imibhalo yamathuna aseGibhithe isitshela okwengeziwe ngezinsuku zenyanga, nokuthi kwakukhona. ezimbili izinsuku ezikhethekile zenyanga, esezivele zimelelwe eshadini elingenhla. Lezo ziqinisa iqiniso lokuthi ukulandelana kwezenzakalo ezinqumayo kuphela ezikhonjisiwe okungenzeka ngokoqobo. Esihlokweni esifanayo ku-Wikipedia sifunda:
Usuku Lokuqala Nolwesibili Lwenyanga Yenyanga
Inyanga yaseGibhithe lasendulo yayihlala iqala ekuphumeni kwelanga, ngokufanayo nosuku lwaseGibhithe lasendulo. Ngokuvamile, ukungaboni kokuqala kwenyanga enciphayo ngemva “kokukhanya okudala” kokugcina kwawela ngehora leshumi nambili lobusuku bosuku olwandulele. Njengoba nje unkulunkulu welanga uRa “azivuselela” ngobusuku bokungabonakali kwakhe, ezinganekwaneni zaseGibhithe lasendulo usuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuthwasa kwenyanga lwalufanekisela “Usuku lokuvuselelwa kukaHorus” “nokuzalwa” okwalandela olwaqala ngobusuku bokuqala bosuku lokuqala lwenyanga ethwalwa yinyanga, futhi lwaqedwa ekuphumeni kwelanga ngosuku lwesibili lwenyanga.
Ukubonakala kokugcina kokukhanya okudala kwakumelela ngakho-ke ngokuvamile njalo usuku lokugcina lwenyanga yenyanga. Emibhalweni yebhokisi, ngosuku lwesibili lwenyanga kuthathwa njenge "usuku lapho inyanga incane.” [Ucezu lokuqala oluncane lokuqala ngemva kokuthwasa kwenyanga.] Umbhalo wePtolemaic ovela eThempelini LaseKhonsu eKarnak, uchaza izinsuku ezimbili zokuqala zenyanga, “Ukukhulelwa kwenyanga kungosuku lokungabonakali futhi kuzalwa ngosuku lwesibili lwenyanga.” Kusobala emibhalweni engumbhoshongo yoMbuso Omdala ukuthi usuku lwesibili lwenyanga yenyanga lwaluhlobene “nokukhuphuka kwasezulwini kwenkosi efile” ‘njengosuku lokuthweswa kwayo ubukhosi nokubonakala kwayo’: “Ukubonakala kwakho kungokwasenyangeni yesibili.”
Ngisho nangezizathu zenkolo, izinsuku ezimbili zenyanga kwadingeka zibekwe ukuze ekuveleni kokuqala kokungaboni ekuseni futhi ngolwesibili ekuseni, kungabikwa ukuthi ucezu lokuqala luvela. Ngakho-ke, wonke amanye amathuba okuhlela umdwebo ongenhla ngendlela ehlukile awafakiwe. Kwakungenzeka lokhu kuphela. Lokhu kwenza umehluko wesigamu sosuku. Inyanga yasendulo yaseGibhithe njalo yayiqala ingxenye yosuku ngaphambi kwamaJuda, ekuseni ngosuku olufanayo okwaqala ngalo kusihlwa—ngesikhathi sethu esiqondayo—inyanga entsha yamaJuda.
Esimisweni sikaMose sokubhekisela, ngesikhathi uNkulunkulu eqala ukukhuluma naye, inyanga yaseGibhithe lasendulo yayisiqalile kakade ngaphambi kwalokho. Uma sinembe kakhudlwana, yayiqale ekuseni ngosuku uJehova ambonisa ngalo ucezu lokuqala kusihlwa. Nokho, masikhumbule: ukuqala kosuku kwakungakalungiswa uNkulunkulu! Lokhu kufanele kwenzeke kamuva, ngemva koFuduko lwaseGibhithe. Sonke siyalazi ivesi elihambisana nalo kuLevitikusi 23:32 , ukuthi kufanele bagubhe iSabatha “kusukela ngisho nakusihlwa,” futhi lokhu sikuhlobanisa ngempela nokuqaliswa kabusha kokugcinwa kweSabatha, njengoba laligcinwe amaIsrayeli kwaze kwaba sekuthunjweni kwawo eGibithe. Kodwa sasingakafiki ibanga elide kangako “enkambweni yekhalenda” kaJehova lapho uMose ethola iziyalezo ezivela kuNkulunkulu zohlelo lwamalungiselelo ePhasika ku-Eksodusi 12.
Ngakho, ngaleso sikhathi uMose wayesakholelwa ukuthi usuku lwase luqale ekuseni. Ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayembonise ucezu lokuqala kusihlwa kwavele kwamqinisekisa lokho abaseGibhithe ababekukholelwa, okungukuthi “usuku” uJehova akhuluma ngalo kuye kwakuwusuku lokuqala lwenyanga. KwabaseGibhithe nakuMose, lolusuku lokuqala lwase luqalile ekuseni futhi uMose wayengakayitholi imininingwane yokuthi usuku luzoqala kusihlwa. Impela wamangala lapho esethole indlela entsha yokunquma ukuqala kwenyanga kusihlwa, kodwa akakwazanga ngisho nokubamba. kungani UNkulunkulu wayekuyale kanjalo.
Ngaluphi usuku uMose kwakufanele ahlukanise iwundlu lePhasika na? Ngosuku lweshumi lwenyanga. Futhi lolu suku lweshumi lwaluyoqala nini kuMose? Kusesekuseni hhayi kusihlwa.
Ngaluphi usuku uMose ayezohlaba ngalo iwundlu lePhasika? Ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga. Futhi lolu suku lweshumi nane lwaluyoqala nini ngokuqonda kukaMose? Kusesekuseni hhayi kusihlwa.
Kufanele lidliwe nini imvu yePhasika? Kusihlwa ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga. Lokhu kwakunjengokuzwisisa kukaMose ngalolo suku okwakumelwe ahlabe ngalo iwundlu, kungakabi usuku olusha.
Ngakho-ke, uma uJehova ekhuluma kuMose, wathi:
Niyakuligcina kuze kube ngosuku lweshumi nane lwaleyo nyanga: nalo lonke ibandla lenhlangano yakwa-Israyeli uzoyihlaba kusihlwa. ( Eksodusi 12:6 )
Ngakho, ngaluphi usuku lwamaJuda NGAPHAMBILI ukuchazwa kabusha kokuqala kosuku (okwenziwa kamuva) ingabe iwundlu lePhasika kwakuyodingeka lihlatshwe futhi lilungiswe? Futhi, yiluphi usuku lwamaJuda okwakuyodingeka ludliwe ngalo?
Ngithanda ukukucela ukuthi uqale uzindle ngale mibuzo ngaphambi kokubheka isixazululo!
...
Uma manje sidweba umdwebo wezinto ezintsha esizitholile ngokuqonda kukaMose usuku ohlelweni lwezithenjwa zosuku lwaseGibhithe lasendulo, sizothola okuthile okumangalisa ngempela:
Ngokumelene nayo yonke imfundiso yamanje, sithole ukuthi amalungiselelo ePhasika kwakungafanele enziwe ngaphambi kokuhlwa kukaNissan 14, kodwa kakade ngaphambi kokuhlwa kukaNissan 13, ngoba lokhu kwakuhambisana nosuku lwasendulo lwe-14 lwenyanga yaseGibhithe ( Pesdjenet-X 14 ). Lena yindlela uMose ayecabanga ngayo futhi waqonda ngayo imiyalo kaNkulunkulu ngaleso sikhathi solwazi lwakhe lwekhalenda. Ngakho-ke, wonke amalungiselelo ePhasika aqhubekela phambili ngamahora angu-24.
Ekugcineni, ngemva kokuba sesiluqonde kahle uhlobo lwasendulo lwePhasika, manje singazama ukulungisa imibono yethu ngedili lePhasika. Okokuqala, sengeza izinsuku zesonto ezihambisanayo zomfuziselo, idili lePhasika ngo-AD 31, eshadini njengoba senzile ekuqaleni kwale ngxenye II yochungechunge Lwethunzi. Futhi sizobona ukuthi sixazulule izinkinga ezimbili ngesikhathi esisodwa:
Impendulo yombuzo wokuthi yiluphi usuku phakathi nesonto lonyaka AD 31 “iWundlu elingefani lePhasika” uJesu okwakuyodingeka lihlukaniswe, ilandela ekufundweni okulula kwaleli shadi elisha, futhi ithi: ISonto, May 20, AD 31.
Ake sikhumbule isihloko esandulele. Ekuqaleni, sabona inkinga enkulu ngamazwi athile ka-Ellen G. White, lapho aqhathanisa ukungena kukaJesu eJerusalema nokuhlukaniswa kwaleliwundlu lomhlatshelo, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo wathi kwakuyiSonto lapho uJesu engena eJerusalema.
Empilweni Yakhe yasemhlabeni wayengakaze avumele ukuboniswa okunjalo. Wawubona kusengaphambili umphumela. KwakuzoMletha esiphambanweni. Kodwa kwakuyinhloso Yakhe kanjalo obala ukuziveza Yena njengoMhlengi. Wayefisa ukudonsela ukunaka emhlatshelweni owawuzothwesa umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni owile. Kwathi abantu bebuthene eJerusalema ukugubha iPhasika. Yena, iWundlu elingokomfanekiso, ngesenzo sokuzithandela wazihlukanisa njengomnikelo. Bekungadingeka ukuba ibandla Lakhe kuzo zonke izinkathi ezilandelayo lenze ukufa Kwakhe ngenxa yezono zomhlaba kube isihloko sokucatshangelwa okujulile nokufunda. Wonke amaqiniso ahlobene nayo kufanele aqinisekiswe ngaphandle kokungabaza. Kwakudingeka-ke ukuthi amehlo abo bonke abantu manje aqondiswe Kuye; izehlakalo ezandulela umhlatshelo Wakhe omkhulu kumele zibe njengezokudonsela ukunaka emhlatshelweni ngokwawo. Ngemva komboniso onjengalowo wokuthamela ukungena Kwakhe eJerusalema, wonke amehlo ayezolandela intuthuko Yakhe esheshayo kuze kufike esigcawini sokugcina. {I-DA 571.2}
Bekuyi ngosuku lokuqala lweviki ukuthi uKristu wangena eJerusalema ngokunqoba. {I-DA 569.3}
Kodwa lokhu kwakungavumelani nemfundiso yokuthi iwundlu lePhasika kwakufanele lihlatshwe ngaphambi kokuhlwa kwangoLwesihlanu, ngoNissan 14, ngoba ngalesosikhathi ukwahlukaniswa kukaJesu okungokomfanekiso ekungeneni Kwakhe eJerusalema kwakufanele kwenzeke ngoMsombuluko, ngoNissan 10. Ukuhumusha kwethu okusha kohlobo lomkhosi wePhasika, okuwumkhosi, kusitshela ngokunembile ukuthi ukuhlatshwa kwePhasika kwakungamelwe kuhlatshwe ngePhasika. (NgoLwesihlanu) kodwa ngoNissan 14 (ngoLwesine). ISonto lingena ngokuphelele esithombeni esiphelele kuphela kuleli cala. UJesu wazehlukanisa nabantu Bakhe ngosuku lokuqala lwesonto ngendlela efanele engokomfanekiso, ngokwazi ukuthi lokhu kungena kokunqoba kwakuyosho isigwebo sakhe sokufa. Ngakho-ke inkinga ka-Ellen White okukhulunywe ngayo esihlokweni esandulele ixazululwe ngokuphelele!
Manje sesiyaqonda ukuthi kungani kungekho noyedwa kubashumayeli bamaqoqo evangeli, uMathewu, uMarku, noLuka, owasho ngokuqondile ukuthi uJesu nabafundi Bakhe base benze noma yimuphi umkhuba othile ngamahora angama-24, futhi base belihlabe noma balidla iwundlu lomhlatshelo ngolunye usuku ngaphambi kwalokho ngenxa yokugwetshwa kwabantu noma abapristi. Kumelwe sicabange ngokunengqondo ukuthi amaJuda esikhathi sikaJesu ayesenolwazi olunembile ngemifanekiso, futhi imikhosi yahlala imsulwa.
Kunomunye umbuzo okufanele sizibuze wona. Kwakufanekiselani ukuhlatshwa nokudliwa kwewundlu lePhasika? Kuze kube manje, imfundiso ibilokhu iwukuthi ukufanekisa ukuhlatshwa nokudliwa kwewundlu lePhasika ukufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni, cishe ngehora lesishiyagalolunye. Kodwa lokho akuhambisani naleli lungiselelo elisha lezenzakalo. Ngakho-ke, kufanele silungise umdwebo wethu wokuqala wezenzakalo zePhasika maqondana nokuhlupheka kanye nezenzo zikaKristu njengoba siqonda inqubo manje.
Manje sesiyabona ukuthi iyiphi imikhosi ehambelana ngempela nezenzo zangempela nokuhlupheka kukaKristu:
Imicimbi nezenzo ezintathu zivumelana ngokunembile:
1. Ukudla kwePhasika kwamaJuda nokudla kwePhasika likaJesu nabafundi Bakhe. Ngakho-ke, isikhathi sokudla iwundlu lePhasika asibonisa ngokuqondile ukufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni, kodwa esinye isenzakalo esibalulekile: ukumiswa kwesidlo seNkosi. Umzimba wewundlu lePhasika ufanekisela isinkwa, umzimba kaKristu, owayezonikelwa ngokushesha. Futhi igazi lewundlu lePhasika lalifanekisela iwayini, igazi likaJesu, elalizochithwa ngenxa yethu.
Futhi, lo mbono uqinisekiswa ngokugcwele ngu-Ellen G. White. Ngiqale le ngxenye II yochungechunge Lwethunzi esihlokweni esedlule ngengcaphuno efanele evela kuye ukukhombisa ukuthi siphenya ngokushesha kangakanani imibhalo futhi singayiqondi kahle:
Lezi zinhlobo zagcwaliseka, hhayi ngokuqondene nesenzakalo kuphela, kodwa ngesikhathi. Ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga yokuqala yamaJuda, ngalo kanye usuku nenyanga okwahlatshwa ngayo iwundlu lePhasika iminyaka engamakhulu ayishumi nanhlanu, uKristu, esedlile iPhasika nabafundi Bakhe, wamisa lowo mkhosi owawuzokhumbula ukufa Kwakhe siqu ‘njengeWundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa isono sezwe. Ngalobo busuku wathathwa ngezandla ezimbi ukuze abethelwe futhi abulawe. Futhi njengesifaniso sesithungu sokuzuliswa iNkosi yethu yavuswa kwabafileyo ngosuku lwesithathu, “ulibo lwalabo abalalayo,” isibonelo sabo bonke abalungile abavusiwe, aba“umzimba wabo omubi” oyoguqulwa, futhi “ufane nomzimba waKhe wenkazimulo.” Ivesi 20; Filipi 3:21 .
Kanjalo-ke imifuziselo ephathelene nokufika kwesibili kufanele igcwaliseke ngesikhathi esishiwo enkonzweni engokomfanekiso. {GC 399.3–4}
Wathi lokhu ngalo lolo suku okwase kuhlatshwe kulo iwundlu lePhasika iminyaka eyi-1500. Iyiphi isistimu yereferensi yekhalenda ayisebenzisayo lapha? Ngokuqinisekile akunjalo okwamaJuda. Ukhuluma nathi hhayi kumaJuda. Lapha, usebenzisa ukuqonda kwethu izinsuku futhi usebenzisa isistimu yakhe yereferensi. Nakanjani uNissan 14 wamaJuda waqala ngoLwesine kusihlwa futhi amawundlu ayehlatshwa ngoLwesine ntambama. Ku-Ellen G. White nakithina lokhu ngalo lolo suku, futhi uJesu wamisa umkhosi wesidlo seNkosi sakusihlwa ekuqaleni kukaNissan 14 wamaJuda. Konke kuvumelana!
2. Ukuzuliswa kwesithungu solibo kwaqondana nokuvuswa kukaJesu ngosuku lokuqala lwesonto. U-Ellen G. White uphinde waqinisekisa lekhonkodensi yohlobo ne-antitype yalo esicaphunweni sangaphambilini: Futhi njengesifaniso sesithungu sokuzuliswa iNkosi yethu yavuswa kwabafileyo ngosuku lwesithathu, “ulibo lwalabo abalalayo,” isibonelo sabo bonke abalungile abavusiwe, aba“umzimba wabo omubi” oyoguqulwa, futhi “ufane nomzimba waKhe wenkazimulo.” Ivesi 20; Filipi 3:21 . {I-GC 399.3}
Ngale ndlela, uJesu wagcwalisa isiprofetho Sakhe, njengoba asho ukuthi wayezokwazi ukwakha kabusha ithempeli ngezinsuku ezintathu. Wakhuluma ngethempeli loMzimba Wakhe:
Wathi, Lo muntu wathi, Nginamandla okudiliza ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, ngilakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu. (Mathewu 26: 61)
Ukubalwa kwesikhathi kwamaJuda kwakuhlanganisa. Okusho ukuthi, ngisho noma kwakuthintwa ingxenye encane yosuku, usuku lonke lwalubalwa. UJesu wafa esiphambanweni ngehora lesishagalolunye (cishe ngo-15:00) ngoLwesihlanu. Lolu kwakuwusuku lwe-14 lukaNissan, usuku lokuqala ‘lokubhidlizwa’ kwethempeli. Ephumula emisebenzini Yakhe yasemhlabeni, uJesu wachitha lonke iSabatha likaNissan 15 ethuneni. UMdali Wendawo Yonke waphumula futhi ngeSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa emsebenzini Wakhe! Ngalesi sikhathi, 'kwakuyiSabatha Eliphezulu' (NgokukaJohane 19:31), ngoba iSabatha lomkhosi wosuku lokuqala lomkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo lalingena ncamashi iSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa. Lolu kwakuwusuku lwesibili “lokubhidlizwa” kwethempeli. Kodwa uJesu wayesaphumula cishe ubusuku bonke bukaNissan 16 kwaze kwasa. Wavuka ngehora elimnyama ngaphambi kokusa. Lolu bekuwusuku lokuqala lwesonto (iSonto) njengoba kushiwo izikhathi eziningana eBhayibhelini. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi ingxenye yolunye usuku yathintwa, lengxenye yosuku yabalwa njengosuku lwesithathu “lokubhidlizwa” kwethempeli.
Ngivame ukubuzwa ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuthi uJesu wachitha izinsuku ezintathu futhi ubusuku obuthathu enhliziyweni yomhlaba njengoJona esiswini somkhomo...
Ngoba njengoba uJona wayenjalo izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu esiswini somkhomo; kanjalo iNdodana yomuntu iyakuba senhliziyweni yomhlaba izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu. ( Mathewu 12:40 )
Sicela ubhekisise umdwebo ongenhla. Ngobusuku bukaNissan 14 kwaqala ukuhlupheka kukaJesu. Ngemva kwesidlo sePhasika, wahamba nabafundi Bakhe baya ensimini yaseGetsemane futhi wathwala zonke izono zethu. Lokhu Wakuqhathanisa ngokwesiprofetho nokuba sesiswini somkhomo, lapho uJona ahlukaniswa khona nanoma yikuphi ukuhlanganyela noNkulunkulu noma umuntu, ezwa umthwalo omkhulu wesono. Ngezinga elithile, uJona wayembozwe ubumnyama ngenxa yomthwalo wesono. Kanjalo noJesu. Lobu kwakuwubusuku bokuqala enhliziyweni yomhlaba kuJesu. Kwabe sekufika usuku lukaNissan 14. Izilingo zasebusuku zalandelwa izilingo zasemini, imivimbo, ukuklolodelwa—kodwa umthwalo omkhulu kunayo yonke kwakuyizono zethu. Wabekezelela konke ngenxa yethu, ngisho nokubethelwa nokufa. Lolu kwakuwusuku lokuqala enhliziyweni yomhlaba. Khona-ke, uJesu waphumula ngokoqobo enhliziyweni yomhlaba ethuneni, ngobunye ubusuku (ubusuku buka-2, uNissan 15), ngolunye usuku (usuku 2, uNissan 15) nangobunye ubusuku (ubusuku buka-3, uNissan 16) waze wavuka ngaphambi nje kokusa kukaNissan 16. Ngolunye usuku lwalungakafiki ukuze kugcwaliseke. UJesu wathi kuMariya Magdalena ethuneni kusesemini:
“Ungangithinti; ngoba kangikenyukeli kuBaba; kodwa hamba uye kubazalwane bami, uthi kubo: Ngenyukela kuBaba loYihlo; kuNkulunkulu wami, noNkulunkulu wenu.” ((Johane 20:17)
Umoya wesiprofetho uyasichazela ku Isifiso Seminyaka ekhasini 790:
Futhi uMariya wahamba waya kubafundi nesigijimi esijabulisayo.
UJesu wenqaba ukwamukela ukukhonzwa kwabantu Bakhe waze waba nesiqiniseko sokuthi umhlatshelo Wakhe wemukelwa nguBaba. Wenyukela emagcekeni asezulwini, futhi kuNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe wezwa isiqiniseko sokuthi inhlawulo Yakhe ngezono zabantu yayiyenele, ukuze ngegazi Lakhe bonke bathole ukuphila okuphakade. UBaba waqinisa isivumelwano esenziwa noKristu, ukuthi amukele abantu abaphendukayo nabalalelayo, futhi abathande njengoba ethanda iNdodana Yakhe. UKristu kwakufanele aqedele umsebenzi Wakhe, futhi agcwalise isifungo Sakhe “sokwenza umuntu abe yigugu kunegolide elihle; yebo, umuntu kunesigaxa segolide sase-Ofiri.” Isa. 13:12. Wonke amandla ezulwini nasemhlabeni anikwa iNkosi yokuPhila, futhi yabuyela kubalandeli bayo ezweni lesono, ukuze ibanike amandla nenkazimulo Yayo. {I-DA 790.2–3}
Inkonzo kaJesu yokuhlupheka ayizange iphele ngaphambi kokuba anyukele ezulwini ekuseni ngosuku lokuqala lwesonto futhi waletha wonke umthwalo wesono sesintu endaweni engcwele yasezulwini futhi wawufafaza ekhethini lendlu engcwele. Khona-ke wayesekulungele ukuthola isiqinisekiso esivela kuYise sokuthi igazi Lakhe lamukelekile. Ngakho-ke wakhululeka emthwalweni wesono futhi wayeqinisekile ukuthi umsebenzi Wakhe wawuphumelele. Usuku lwesithathu olwalungekho kwaba ukuvakasha kukaJesu kafushane kuYise ezulwini ngaphambi kokuba abuyele emhlabeni ukuze ahlale ezinye izinsuku ezingu-40 nabafundi kuze kube yilapho ekugcineni ekhuphukela ezulwini ukuze asinxusele khona njengomPristi wethu oMkhulu kuze kufike ukubuya Kwakhe kwesibili.
Abaningi bayazibuza ukuthi kungani ithempeli lasezulwini kwakuyodingeka lihlanzwe kusukela ngo-1844. Bacabanga ukuthi lalingakaze lingcoliswe. Ukuqonda okuqondile kwemifanekiso nezifanekiselo kusiholela manje ekuqondeni ukuthi wawunini ngempela umzuzu lapho ithempeli lasezulwini langcoliswa ngazo zonke izono zesintu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zesikhathi esidlule noma zesikhathi esizayo: Ngemva nje kokuvuka, uJesu ngokwakhe waletha izono lapho futhi “wangcolisa” indawo engcwele ukuze kamuva (kusukela ngo-1844) aqale inkonzo yokubuyisana ngenxa yezono zethu zoSuku Lokwahlulela futhi ahlanze ikhethini lethempeli lezono zethu eJudiya.
Futhi siyaphinda futhi sibona indlela esinembe ngayo isimiso sesikhathi sikaNkulunkulu uma kuziwa ekugcwalisekeni kwemifanekiso nezifanekiselo. Isithungu solibo sasingazuliswa nje ngaphambi kokuntwela kokusa ethempelini, kodwa ekuseni kuphela. Ngakho, lapho sithi ukuvuka kukaJesu kwafanekiselwa ukuzuliswa kwesithungu, kumane nje kuyiqiniso, kodwa akuhlangani ncamashi nohlobo. UJesu wayeyisithelo sokuqala sabo bonke abavusiwe futhi kwakufanele aziveze phambi kukaBaba endaweni engcwele yasezulwini ukuze athole ukwamukelwa komsebenzi Wakhe. Wayenqabile ukuthintwa uMariya Magdalena ngemva kokuntwela kokusa, kodwa kamuva wavumela abaphostoli. Umehluko wawuwukuthi wayesevele ebonakale kuYise: izithelo zokuqala zazo zonke zase zemukelwe uBaba ekamelweni lesihlalo sobukhosi sendlu engcwele yasezulwini. Yilokhu okufanekiselwa ngokunembile ukuzuliswa kwesithungu solibo, futhi kunjalo ugcwalisa isiprofetho sezinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu enhliziyweni yomhlaba; Lonke uthando lukaJesu kusukela eGetsemane kuze kufike ekwamukelweni kokugcina komhlatshelo Wakhe nguBaba.
3. Ukubethelwa kukaJesu esiphambanweni kwaqondana nokuhlatshwa kwansuku zonke komhlatshelo wakusihlwa. Njengoba ngike ngasho, kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba uLwesihlanu kube usuku lokulungiselela iPhasika, ngoba uma usuku lokulungiselela iSabatha nosuku lokulungiselela iPhasika luqondana, izikhathi zemihlatshelo zazigudluzwa ukuze umnikelo wansuku zonke ungenzeki ngehora lesishiyagalolunye. NgokweMishna ( IHubo 5:1 ), kulokhu umhlatshelo wakusihlwa wawuyobe usuwenziwe kakade phakathi kuka-12:30 ntambama (umhlatshelo) no-1:30 ntambama (umnikelo) futhi lokhu kwakuyodala inkinga ngendinyana elandelayo Isifiso Seminyaka:
Lapho isimemezelo esikhulu esithi, “Kufeziwe,” siphuma ezindebeni zikaKristu, abapristi babekhonza ethempelini. Kwakuyihora lomhlatshelo wakusihlwa. IWundlu elimelela uKristu lalilethwe ukuba lihlatshwe. Egqoke ingubo yakhe ephawulekayo nenhle, umpristi wema ephethe ummese ophakanyisiwe, njengoba kwenza u-Abrahama lapho esezobulala indodana yakhe. Abantu babebukele ngesasasa elikhulu. Kepha umhlaba uyazamazama, uyazamazama; ngoba iNkosi uqobo iyasondela. Ngomsindo odakayo iveli elingaphakathi lethempeli lidatshulwa kusukela phezulu kuye phansi ngesandla esingabonakali, livuleke phambi kwesixuku indawo eyake yagcwala ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Kule ndawo kwakuhlala iShekina. Lapha uNkulunkulu wayebonakalise inkazimulo Yakhe ngaphezu kwesihlalo somusa. Akekho ngaphandle kompristi ophakeme owake waphakamisa iveli elihlukanisa leli fulethi kulo lonke ithempeli. Wayengena kanye ngonyaka ukuze enze inhlawulo yezono zabantu. Kodwa bheka, leli veli lidatshulwe kabili. Indawo engcwele kakhulu yendlu engcwele yasemhlabeni ayisangcwele.
Konke kuwukwesaba nokudideka. Umpristi usezobulala isisulu; kodwa ummese uwela esandleni sakhe esingenasibindi, newundlu liyabaleka. Uhlobo luye lwafanekiselwa ekufeni kweNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Umnikelo omkhulu sewenziwe. Indlela yokungena endaweni engcwele ivuliwe. Indlela entsha nephilayo ilungiselelwe wonke umuntu. Asisadingi isintu esinesono, esidabukileyo silindele ukufika kompristi omkhulu. Kusukela manje uMsindisi wayezosebenza njengomphristi kanye nommeli ezulwini lasezulwini. Kwaba sengathi izwi eliphilayo lalikhulume kwabakhulekeli: Manje isiphelile yonke imihlatshelo neminikelo yesono. INdodana kaNkulunkulu ifikile ngokwezwi Lakhe, “Bheka, ngiyeza (emqulwini weNcwadi kulotshiwe ngaMi,) ukwenza intando yaKho, O Nkulunkulu.” “Ngegazi lakhe uqobo” ungena “kanye endaweni engcwele, esetholele ukuhlengwa okuphakade.” Heb. 10:7; 9:12. {I-DA 756.5–757.1}
Lolu Lwesihlanu, May 25, AD 31, bekuwusuku oluvamile lokulungiselela iSabatha phakathi nemikhosi yasentwasahlobo noNissan 14. Aluqondanga ukulungiselelwa kwePhasika okwakumelwe lenziwe njalo ngoNissan 13, njengoba ngethemba ukuthi ngikwazile ukubonisa kulesi sihloko. Lesi sitatimende sika-Ellen G. White siyiqiniso futhi siphinda sivumelana ncamashi nezenzakalo zangempela. UJesu wafa ngehora lesishiyagalolunye, futhi lesi kwakuyisikhathi esiqondile sokuhlaba umhlatshelo wakusihlwa wansuku zonke. Manje kuyacaca ukuthi uphawu oluqondile lokufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni kwakungelona iwundlu lePhasika, kodwa iwundlu lomhlatshelo wansuku zonke okwakumelwe linikelwe ngenxa yezono zabantu. Uhlelo lwemihlatshelo ngokwalo lwaqedwa kanye nje ngokufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni. Ikhethini ladabuka kabili, lachithwa ngesandla sikaNkulunkulu uBaba uqobo Lwakhe ovela phezulu. Isiprofetho esasithathe iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezine sasigcwalisekile, futhi isiprofetho sagcwaliseka. Umhlatshelo wansuku zonke wawungasadingeki.
In the isihloko esilandelayo, ngizohlola ezinye izici ezibalulekile zalesi sixazululo senkinga yamaPhasika amabili futhi ngiphendule ukuhlasela okuphambene nezifundo zami ezivela kubagcini beSabatha benyanga...
