Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoLwesihlanu, Okthoba 28, 2011, 5:56 pm ngesiJalimane ngo www.letztercountdown.org
Sonke siyazi ukuthi isiqephu seBhayibheli esilandelayo sihlobanisa nani:
Izwi engalizwa ezulwini labuye lakhuluma kimi, lathi: “Hamba uthathe incwadi encane evulekile esandleni sengelosi emi phezu kolwandle naphezu komhlaba. Ngaya engelosini, ngathi kuyo: “Nginike incwadi encane; Wasesithi kimi: Lithathe, ulidle, uliqede; kuyakubaba isisu sakho, kepha emlonyeni wakho kuyakuba mnandi njengezinyosi. Ngase ngiluthatha ugwalo oluncane esandleni sengelosi, ngayidla ngayiqeda; lasemlonyeni wami limnandi njengezinyosi: kwathi ngilidlile, sabamunyu isisu sami. ( IsAmbulo 10:8-10 )
Incwadi evuliwe iyingxenye yokugcina yencwadi kaDaniyeli kusukela eSahlukweni 8 kuqhubeke, eyavulwa okokuqala nguWilliam Miller. Noma ubani angafunda ezincwadini Impikiswano Enkulu futhi UKristu Ethempelini Lakhe, futhi ngisho phakathi Imibhalo Yakuqala, okwenzeka phakathi neminyaka lapho uMiller eqala ukushumayela. Wayefunde iBhayibheli ngokujulile iminyaka emihlanu futhi wayesefinyelele esiphethweni sokuthi uKristu wayezobuya ngo-1843 (1844). “Ukudla incwadi” kaDaniyeli kwafanekisela ukufunda kwakhe, futhi ubumnandi emlonyeni womprofethi bufanekisela ithemba elimnandi lokubuya kukaJesu ngokushesha.
Kwabe sekufika ukudumala okukhulu kuka-1844, futhi labo ababehlanganyela kukho bezwa ubuhlungu obukhulu besisu lapho kufanele bagwinye iphilisi elibabayo lokuthi umhlaba wawungahlanjululwa ngomlilo, kodwa ukuthi indawo engcwele yasezulwini kwakufanele idlule inqubo yokuhlanza eyayizothatha iminyaka eminingi eyengeziwe.
Imfundiso yethu Yengcwele yavela kuleli phutha elilodwa kodwa elingumphumela likaMiller mayelana nokuchazwa kwevesi elithile leBhayibheli:
Wathi kimi: Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona indlu engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa. ( Daniyeli 8:14 )
Ngemva Kokudumazeka Okukhulu, amaphayona ethu aqaphela kufanele ukuthi indawo engcwele eyayizohlanzwa kwakungeyona eyasemhlabeni kodwa ingcwele yasezulwini. Ngomhla zingama-22 kuMfumfu 1844, uJesu wayengakafiki, kodwa ukwahlulelwa kwasezulwini, uSuku Lokubuyisana noma i-Yom Kippur kwaqala: Ukwahlulelwa okuphenyayo kwabafileyo... okwakuyophela kamuva ngokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo.
Kwakungesikho okwabo ukwazi ukuthi ukwahlulela kwakuyothatha isikhathi esingakanani, kodwa thina esiphila ekupheleni kokwaHlulo sinesidingo sokwazi. Ekuseni umuntu uya emsebenzini engazihluphi ngesikhathi ngoba azi ukuthi usenosuku lonke kodwa uma sekuzophela usuku umuntu aqale ajeqeze iwashi ngaphambi kokuthatha isinqumo sokuyokwenza umsebenzi olandelayo. Ngendlela efanayo, thina esiphila ekupheleni koSuku Lokwahlulela kudingeka sazi isikhathi ukuze sigxilise umsebenzi wethu kuNkulunkulu ngendlela efanele phakathi “nemizuzu” embalwa esele. Ake ngihlanganyele nawe ukuthi lo mbuzo wavela kanjani kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami.
Koze kube nini, Nkosi?
Ekupheleni kuka-2004, nganquma ukuya eParaguay ukuze ngiyokwenza umsebenzi wobuthunywa bukaNkulunkulu. Ngangithandazele isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka ngeze futhi ngazikhangisa njengothisha wesiNgisi noma usosayensi wamakhompiyutha emaqenjini amaningi ezithunywa zevangeli zama-Adventist, kodwa ngenqatshwa yonke indawo ngenxa “yokukhula” kwami kweminyaka engu-45. UNkulunkulu wabe eseshintsha isimo sami sezimali ngokuyisimangaliso, ukuze emva konyaka wokuthandaza ngikwazi ukuvula isiteshi semishini ngezinsiza zami. UNkulunkulu wayengilungiselele inkokhelo yanyanga zonke iminyaka eyishumi kanye efeni likamama, okwase kuyiminyaka engu-24 ngicabanga ukuthi lalilahlekile. Lokho kwangibeka phambi kwesinqumo esinzima.
Ngangihlala esiqhingini esihle saseMallorca futhi ngisebenza njengochwepheshe ozimele we-IT/computer. Iningi lamakhasimende ami kwakungamaJalimane acebile, ayeyakhe amakhaya amaholide noma asebekhulile esiqhingini. Eminye iminyaka ibhizinisi lami lawohloka liba libi kakhulu kunokuhle, futhi ngokuvamile kwakudingeka ngiphile ngokuthula. Ngangivame ukuphelela emgwaqweni, ikakhulukazi ebusika ngenxa yokuthi ngangingenamakhasimende. Cishe kanye kanye nokuvulwa kabusha kwefa elidala, ibhizinisi lami laqala ukuchuma ngemva kokuhlupheka iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili. Ngokungazelelwe, ngawina umhlinzeki omkhulu womshwalense kanye nomthengisi wamasheya owaziwa umhlaba wonke njengamakhasimende futhi isikhumulo sezindiza saseMallorca sase sibuyele kimi naso, ngoba nganginobudlelwane obuhle nabo. Angifuni ukunikeza noma yiziphi izibalo, kodwa kungazelelwe ngaba nemali eningi esandleni kangangokuthi ngangingase ngiqashe kalula i-Boris Becker Villa ukuze ngihlale khona.
Njengoba inqubo yefa (ebengingakayisebenzeli nokuyisebenzela) yanqunywa ngavuna mina ngoZibandlela wezi-2004, ukuphela kwezinkokhelo zenyanga zeminyaka eyishumi kwafika kuZibandlela wezi-2014 futhi “bezincane” uma kuqhathaniswa nemali engenayo yeNkampani yami ye-IT echumayo manje yomuntu oyedwa e-Mallorca. Kodwa noma kunjalo, ngaba nokuzikhethela ukuphila emphakathini ophakeme njengosomabhizinisi ocebe kakhulu esiqhingini esishisayo saseMallorca, noma ukubambelela esivumelwaneni engasenza noNkulunkulu ngo-1999, engangimthembise kuso ukuthi ukuphila kwami kwakuyoba okwaKhe kuphela. Ngangivele ngithandazela unyaka owodwa ukuze ngiye ezweni elimpofu emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu. Manje ngase nginamandla ngefa... kodwa lokho kwakusho ukuvalelisa enkampanini, okwathi ngemva kweminyaka eyisishiyagalombili yeminyaka enzima yokuswela nobumpofu yagcina iphelile.
Niyazi nonke ukuthi nganquma kanjani. Ngabeka inkampani yami njengomnikelo ezinyaweni zeNkosi futhi ngadedela wonke amaklayenti ami. Badumala kakhulu futhi baze bangithembisa nemali eyengeziwe, kodwa akukho okwakungangiyekisa ukuyeka ukulondeka kwami ngokwezimali nokugcina isithembiso sami kuNkulunkulu. Ngabona ukuthi inkampani yami yayiqhume kuphela ngoba uSathane wayefuna ukucupha ugibe.
Nokho, ngangisenenkinga. Izimali ezikhokhwa nyanga zonke engangizozithola zazisohlakeni olwalungeke lungivumele noma yikuphi ukweqa okukhulu. Iphupho lami kwakuwukwakha isikhungo sezempilo esingokwemvelo eParaguay, kodwa ngangingalazi izwe nezimo. Kwakukhona ezinye izindlela... ikhaya lezintandane, isikole sezithunywa zevangeli, isikole seBhayibheli... nokunye okuningi.
Ngangifuna ukwazi ukuthi iyini intando kaNkulunkulu ngalokho okufanele ngikwakhe eParaguay. Futhi ngaba nomuzwa wokuthi kwakuzoncika ekutheni singakanani isikhathi engangiyoba naso sokufeza icebo likaNkulunkulu. Ngaya emthandazweni futhi ngabuza uNkulunkulu ukuthi iyini intando yaKhe, nokuthi kwakuyodingeka ngimenzele “okuthile” isikhathi esingakanani eParaguay.
Kulo mthandazo ojulile, okokuqala ngathola iseluleko esilandelayo:
“Uma ufuna ukwazi ukuthi singakanani isikhathi esisele, kufanele uqale lapho amaphayona ayegcine khona. Qala kuDaniyeli 8:14 futhi ungene endlini engcwele.”
Lesi seluleko singatholakala naseBhayibhelini, eHuboni eliyisiprofetho leNkosi uDavide:
Lapho ngicabanga ukukwazi lokhu, kwakubuhlungu kakhulu kimi; ngaze ngangena endlini engcwele kaNkulunkulu; ngase ngiqonda isiphetho sabo. (IHubo 73: 16-17)
UDavide wayezibuza ukuthi kuyoze kube nini ababi bephumelela. Futhi impendulo yalowo mbuzo yafihlwa endlini engcwele. Yilabo kuphela ababeyongena endlini engcwele ababengathola impendulo yombuzo wokuthi isikhathi somusa sasiyothatha isikhathi esingakanani.
Umkhuleko wami wawungakaqedi, ngakho ngabuza uNkulunkulu ukuthi wayefuna ukuthini ngalokho. Kukuphi endaweni engcwele lapho kufanele ngithole khona impendulo efihliwe yombuzo wami? Kwakusho ukuthini ukuthi kwakuzodingeka ngiqale lapho amaphayona ayegcine khona?
UNkulunkulu wangiphendula futhi wangitshela ukuthi impendulo iseBhayibhelini futhi wema lapho kwakulotshwe khona ivesi elihambisana noDaniyeli 8:14 . UDaniyeli 8:14 akafanekiseli nje kuphela ukuqala kokwahlulela kophenyo kodwa futhi nenhlangano yamaMillerite, futhi ufanekiselwa incwadi encane yesAmbulo 10 eyayiyoba ukudumala okubuhlungu esiswini.
Ukuprofetha Futhi
Abaqalisi besikhathi sokufika babusiswa ngokuqonda indawo engcwele yasezulwini ngemva kokudumala, kwathi lapho iqiniso leSabatha lavela obala, ngokushesha babona ukuthi kwakufanele baqhubeke beshumayela umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu ngokuhambisana nevesi elilandelayo:
Yasisithi kimi: Kumelwe uprofethe futhi phambi kwabantu abaningi, nezizwe, nezilimi, namakhosi. ( IsAmbulo 10:11 )
Yeka ukuthi kuhle kanjani ukuhamba ekukhanyeni futhi kuqinisekiswe iZwi likaNkulunkulu ngokunqoba nokudumazeka ngokufanayo! Amanye amasonto obuProthestani, ngokuphambene, azimbela amathuna awo ngokwenqaba isiprofetho sakusihlwa nesasekuseni esiyi-2300. Kubo, isiprofetho sesikhathi esikhulu kunazo zonke kulo lonke iBhayibheli sehlulekile, singashiyi lutho ngaphandle kweziqephu. Ngakho, amasonto obuProthestani, ake abiza ngokuthi “sola scriptura,” alahlekelwa ilungelo lawo eliyisisekelo lokuba khona; kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, babheka iBhayibheli njengelinesici, futhi basahamba ebumnyameni kuze kube namuhla. Futhi bayalenqaba iSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa ngenxa yesizathu esifanayo.
IsAmbulo 10:11 saqinisekisa kuma-Adventist okuqala ukuthi umsebenzi wawo kwakuwukushumayela isigijimi sengelosi yesithathu, kodwa bayeka ukugcwalisa isiprofetho ngemva kwalelovesi. Ivesi elilandelayo lisinika iziqondiso eziqondile zokusisiza siqonde ukuthi singakanani isikhathi esasizodingeka ukuze kuhlanzwe indlu engcwele. Phawula ukuthi ukwahlukaniswa kwezahluko nezinombolo zamavesi eBhayibhelini akuphefumulelwe, futhi kulokhu ukwahlukaniswa kwezahluko kuwela endaweni exakile. Masifunde amavesi ngokuqhubekayo:
Yasisithi kimi: Kumelwe uprofethe futhi phambi kwabantu abaningi, nezizwe, nezilimi, namakhosi. Nganikwa umhlanga onjengodondolo, ingelosi yema, yathi: “Sukuma, ulinganise ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, ne-altare, nabakhuleka kulo. ( IsAmbulo 10:11-11:1 )
Manje ake silandele iziyalezo zengelosi kuleli vesi. Okokuqala, uthi: “Sukuma, ulinganise ithempeli likaNkulunkulu.” Kusikiselwa ukuthi kufanele sisebenzise umhlanga esiwunikezwe ingelosi ukuze silinganise ngawo. Lo mhlanga uvela futhi eSahlukweni 21:
Futhi owayekhuluma nami wayene umhlanga wegolide ukukala umuzi, namasango awo, nogange lwawo. Umuzi wawunezinhlangothi ezine ezilinganayo, ubude bawo bungangobubanzi bawo; walinganisa umuzi ngomhlanga; amastadiyu ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili. ubude nobubanzi nokuphakama kwawo kuyalingana. Walinganisa udonga lwawo; izingalo eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane; ngesilinganiso somuntu, okungukuthi, sengelosi. (Isambulo 21: 15-17)
Lapha sithola ukuthi ingelosi isinika izilinganiso ezimbili zeJerusalema Elisha ngemva kwenkulungwane yeminyaka. Lokhu kubonakala kuwulwazi olubalulekile ekuphenduleni isicelo sethu, ngakho-ke asikuqaphele:
- 12,000 frlongs (idolobha)
- 144 izingalo (udonga)
Umfundi oqaphile kungenzeka uyazibuza ukuthi kungani samukela izilinganiso eziphathelene ‘nomuzi’ kuyilapho siyalwa ukuba silinganise “ithempeli.” Lo mbuzo uphendulwa nguJames White, owathi Izwi Emhlambini Omncane ichaza ukuthi lonke idolobha laseJerusalema Elisha, elingeke libe nethempeli ngemva kwenkulungwane yeminyaka, liyoba ithempeli ngokwalo:
ITHEMPELI LIKANKULUNKULU
“Kwavulwa ithempeli likaNkulunkulu ezulwini, kwabonakala umphongolo wesivumelwano sakhe ethempelini lakhe.”— IsAmbulo 11:19 .
Ithempeli likaNkulunkulu okulo umphongolo wesivumelwano sakhe lisezulwini. UPawuli oNgcwele esembonweni, wabanjwa izulu lesithathu, noma ipharadesi esikholelwa ukuthi iJerusalema Elisha. Igama elithi izulu, lisetshenziswa kwezinye izindawo eziseceleni kweJerusalema Elisha, bheka uGen. 1:8 no-17; IsAm. 14:6. Kodwa njengoba zingenalo iThempeli likaNkulunkulu, kumelwe ngikholelwe ukuthi izulu elineThempeli likaNkulunkulu, liyiJerusalema Elisha. IJerusalema Elidala, neThempeli lalo kwakufanekisela iJerusalema Elisha, neThempeli likaNkulunkulu elikulo. Umphongolo owawunezibhebhe zamatshe uNkulunkulu aloba kuwo imiyalo eyishumi ngomunwe wakhe, wabekwa endaweni eNgcwele. Lapho uJohane ebona ukuvulwa kweThempeli Elisha laseJerusalema, wabona umkhumbi endaweni efanayo emfanekisweni, ukuthi wawusemfanekisweni.
Ngakho-ke, kusobala ukuthi iJerusalema Elidala, iThempeli lalo, nefenisha yaleloThempeli, kunezifaniso ezihlukile zePharadesi. Lelo Pharadesi lakhushulwa emhlabeni ngemva kokuwa komuntu, lisobala, njengoba ingekho indawo enjalo emhlabeni ephendula incazelo yalo eyanikezwa uMose. — Gen. 3:23,24, 2 . Futhi, umprofethi uthi: “Bheka, isikhathi siyeza, lapho lezi zibonakaliso engikutshele zona ziyokwenzeka, futhi uMlobokazi uyovela, futhi ophumayo uyobonakala, manje osesusiwe emhlabeni. — 7Esdras, 26:XNUMX . Izisekelo, izindonga, namasango, eJerusalema Elisha, ngokuqinisekile zakhiwe ePharadesi, kusukela iJerusalema Elidala lakhiwa: uma kungenjalo, khona-ke eLisha, lidala kuneDala. U-Abrahama ngokholo wayelindele loMuzi “onezisekelo;” kodwa wayengalindele ukuyithola, kwaze kwavuswa abathembekileyo. IThempeli laseJerusalema Elidala lakhiwa ngenhloso yokukhonzela iSivumelwano Esidala. IThempeli, noma iNdawo Engcwele yaseJerusalema Elisha, uKristu angumfundisi walo, iNkosi eyamisa hhayi umuntu, ngenjongo yokukhonza kweSivumelwano Esisha. Ngakho-ke, lapho uKristu eseqedile inkonzo yakhe eNdaweni Engcwele yaseZulwini, futhi esekhulule abantu bakhe, ngeke kusaba khona ukusetshenziswa kweThempeli LaseJerusalema Elisha, njengoba kwaba khona iThempeli laseJerusalema Elidala, ngemva kokuba uJesu esebethele umthetho wemikhosi esiphambanweni. UJohane wawubona uMuzi oNgcwele lapho uzokwehla, IsAm. 21:10, ekupheleni kweminyaka eyinkulungwane, IsAmb. 1000:20-7, futhi wathi, “Angizange ngabona ithempeli kuwo, ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke neWundlu bayithempeli lawo— IsAm. 9:21 . Akasitsheli ukuthi kwenzekeni ngakho; kodwa ukusho kwakhe ukuthi akabonanga ithempeli kuwo ngaleso sikhathi, kubonisa ukuthi wayeke walibona lapho ngaphambili. Umuzi oNgcwele ubizwa ngokuthi iTabernakele likaNkulunkulu, IsAmb. 21:3; Isa. 33:20; kodwa ayibizwa kanjalo, ize ibe seMhlabeni Omusha. IDolobha libizwa nangokuthi iThempeli likaNkulunkulu, IsAmb. 17:15 [7:15]; kodwa kuze kube yilapho abangcwele bevuswa, futhi babuthelwa eDolobheni, lapho beyokhonza khona uNkulunkulu “imini nobusuku.” Khona-ke iDolobha Elingcwele lodwa, liyoba iTabernakele, noma iThempeli likaNkulunkulu.
{Izwi Emhlambini Omncane}
Nokho, lezi izilinganiso zomugqa futhi azisiniki lutho ngendlela yesikhathi. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi sidinga ukwazi ubukhulu bomugqa kanye nesikhathi? Sizobona, kodwa ake siqale siye engxenyeni elandelayo yeziyalezo zevesi 11:1 futhi silinganise “i-altare.” Sizozitholaphi izilinganiso ze-altare? Ingelosi eyalinganisa umuzi oNgcwele ayizange isitshele lutho nge-altare. Nokho, wasinika inkomba lapho singabheka khona lapho ethi ingalo yengelosi “ilingana nesilinganiso somuntu.” Empeleni kwakukhona enye indoda eBhayibhelini eyanikezwa izilinganiso zethempeli likaNkulunkulu ngokohlanga lokulinganisa:
Embonweni kaNkulunkulu wangingenisa ezweni lakwa-Israyeli, wangibeka phezu kwentaba ende kakhulu, phezu kwayo kwakunjengohlaka lomuzi ngaseningizimu. Wangiyisa khona; bheka, kwakukhona umuntu, okubonakala kwakhe kwakunjengesimo sethusi, ephethe intambo yefilakisi esandleni sakhe, nelineni elicwengekileyo. umhlanga wokulinganisa; wema esangweni. ( Hezekeli 40:2-3 )
UHezekeli wabona idolobha laseJerusalema nethempeli lalo embonweni futhi wanikezwa izilinganiso zalo eziningi. Leli thempeli alizange lakhiwe ngempela, futhi sekuyizinkulungwane zeminyaka abafundi beBhayibheli bezibuza ukuthi lingase lisho ukuthini. I-Adventist Bible Commentary ibeka ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi kwakuyisiprofetho esinemibandela esingazange sigcwaliseke. Umuntu angaze azibuze ukuthi kwakuwumbono weJerusalema Elisha yini, kodwa lowo mbono uphikiswa ngokushesha yiqiniso lokuthi uHezekeli wabona izinengiso eziningi ezenziwa kulo ezazingeke zenziwe eJerusalema lasezulwini. Ngokushesha sizothola ukuthi kuwumfuziselo weBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist, elikhuluma kakhulu ngokwalo. Okwamanje, sifuna ulwazi olubaluleke kakhulu olufihlwe phakathi kobukhulu balo.
Kukhona izilinganiso eziningi, eziningi ezinikezwe ezahlukweni ezilandelayo, ngisho ne-altare kuphela. Sizokwazi kanjani ukuthi yisiphi isilinganiso esisidingayo? Khumbula ukuthi sisemzamweni wokuthola ukuthi ukwahlulela kophenyo kufanele kuthathe isikhathi esingakanani. Kuwumbuzo wesikhathi, futhi kuze kube manje izilinganiso esizithola kusAmbulo azizona izilinganiso zesikhathi. Kufanele sibheke isilinganiso sesikhathi, futhi ngempela sithola esisodwa esihlobene ne-altare:
Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa bayakulihlambulula i-altare, balihlambulule; futhi bazazingcwelisa. (Hezekeli 43: 26)
Leli vesi alisinikezi isilinganiso sesikhathi kuphela, kodwa isilinganiso esisinikezayo sihlobene ngokuqondile nokuhlanzwa kwendlu engcwele okuyilokho kanye esikufunayo. Qaphela ukuthi phakathi nalezi zinsuku, abapristi kwakufanele bazingcwelise. Njengendaba yokuzihlola, ama-Adventist ikakhulukazi, abephethe imfundiso yendlu engcwele, kufanele azibuze ukuthi ngabe bebezingcwelisa njengabapristi ngalesi sikhathi. Ngisho nabantu ababehlukaniselwe uNkulunkulu njengabapristi babengenakukhonza ezinkonzweni zendlu engcwele baze badlule enqubweni yokuhlanzwa komuntu ngamunye. Ingabe ubunikela inhliziyo yakho nempilo yakho emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu, ukuze ukwazi ukumsebenzela kulezi zikhathi zokugcina ezidlulayo?
Manje ake sicabange isikhashana. Iliphi ithempeli elithatha izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ukuze lihlanzwe? Ithempeli lasemhlabeni liyakwenza. Khumbula ukuthi ithempeli lasemhlabeni lifana nelasezulwini, njengoba nje itabernakele likaMose lenziwa ngokomfanekiso owawuboniswa entabeni. Safunda futhi engelosini yesAmbulo ukuthi izilinganiso zeJerusalema Elisha “ngokwesilinganiso somuntu” noma ngamanye amazwi, ngokwepulani noma ngephethini. Ngakho, uHezekeli wabona izilinganiso ‘zepulani yesakhiwo’ noma “isibonelo” sendlu engcwele yasezulwini; wabona umngane wayo wasemhlabeni. Lokhu kuqinisekiswa kabili umbono kaHezekeli ngokwawo.
Wena ndodana yomuntu, bonisa indlu yakwa-Israyeli indlu, ukuze babe namahloni ngobubi babo. futhi mabalinganise iphethini. (Hezekeli 43: 10)
Kudingeka sazi ukuthi kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuhlanza indlu engcwele yasezulwini, kodwa siyazi kuphela ukuthi umngane wayo wasemhlabeni wathatha izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. Yilapho ulwazi oluncane njengesicoci sikakhaphethi lungafika luwusizo. Uma igumbi elingu-100-square-foot lithatha imizuzu engu-15 ukuhlanza, kulula ukuthola ukuthi indlu engu-2000-square-foot ingathatha isikhathi esingakanani: amahora angu-5. Vele ubale imizuzu engu-15 izikhathi zesilinganiso samafidi-skwele angu-2000 ahlukaniswe ngamafidi-skwele angu-100 futhi kulokhu guqula umphumela usuke emaminithini uye emahoreni. Isikhathi sokuhlanza "sikala" ngokuya ngenani lokuhlanza okufanele kwenziwe. Kulesi sibonelo, isici sesikali singamamitha-skwele angu-2000 ahlukaniswe ngamamitha-skwele angu-100, alingana no-20. (Amayunithi amamitha-skwele akhansela ngaphandle, ngakho-ke isilinganiso noma isikali siyinombolo engenalutho ngaphandle kwamayunithi.) Kuthatha izikhathi ezingu-20 ukuhlanza indlu engu-2000-square-foot uma kuqhathaniswa negumbi elingamamitha-skwele angu-100.
Siyazi ukuthi indawo engcwele yasemhlabeni yathatha izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ukuze ihlanzwe, kodwa singakanani isilinganiso phakathi kwepulani lasemhlabeni nendawo engcwele yasezulwini uqobo? Khumbula ukuthi sanikezwa izilinganiso ezimbili zeJerusalema Elisha. Uma singathola umlingani wabo ohlelweni lwasemhlabeni, singasungula isici sesikali. Yibuphi ubukhulu obubili okufanele sibufune? Enye inkomba iwukuthi ubukhulu bomuzi kusAmbulo bunikezwa ngamastadiyu, kodwa awekho amastadiyutha asetshenziswa ohlelweni lukaHezekeli futhi bekungaba nzima ukuthola isici sokuguqula. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingelosi isinika omunye umkhondo esiqeshini sayo esilandelayo sesiyalo sokuba silinganise “abakhuleka kuso.”
UJesu uyindinganiso yesimo sokulinganisa isintu, futhi bonke bahlulekile ezingeni Lakhe. Isilinganiso somuntu siyisilinganiso sokuthi singakanani isono esimhlukanisa noNkulunkulu, futhi okuyisilinganiso sokuthi kungakanani ukuhlanzwa okufanele kwenziwe enhliziyweni yakhe njengendaba yokungcweliswa. Kungakho lesi sicaphuno esingenhla sikaHezekeli 43:10 sikhuluma ngokubonisa indlu yakwaIsrayeli (indlu yama-Adventism) ububi bayo ngokulinganisa iphethini. Ngakho, ukunaka kwethu kulethwa esilinganisweni sesibili esisiphawule kusAmbulo: ukuphakama kodonga oluhlukanisa izoni ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu. Ngakho udonga luyisilinganiso sokuqala ngqa uHezekeli asilobayo.
Futhi bheka a udonga ngaphandle kwendlu nxazonke, nasesandleni somuntu ubude balo buyizingalo eziyisithupha, yingalo nobubanzi besandla; walinganisa ububanzi besakhiwo, kwaba luhlanga lunye; nokuphakama, umhlanga munye. (Hezekeli 40: 5)
Lapha sithola ukuthi udonga “lwepulani” luwumhlanga owodwa ubude, noma buyizingalo eziyisithupha. Kuleli qophelo, siyabazi ukuphakama kodonga oluhlukanisayo ohlelweni lukaHezekeli kanye neJerusalema Elisha ngamayunithi afanayo ezingalo. Ukuze sibe nokucophelela, kufanele siqinisekise ukuthi amayunithi ethu ayafana ngempela. UHezekeli uphawula ukuthi ingalo esetshenziswa lapha ‘iyingalo nobubanzi besandla,’ noma ingalo yobukhosi. Ingabe lena yingalo efanayo eyasetshenziswa ezilinganisweni zesAmbulo? Singaqiniseka ukuthi kwakungenxa yalezi zizathu ezilandelayo. Okokuqala, ingalo yasebukhosini yasetshenziswa emisebenzini yokwakha yenkosi, futhi kunengqondo ukuthi yayiyoba ingxenye esetshenziswa ingelosi yeJerusalema Elisha Lobukhosi. Okwesibili, ingelosi kusAmbulo isusa konke ukungabaza ngokusitshela ukuthi izilinganiso zayo zilingana nesilinganiso somuntu, okungukuthi uHezekeli, okuwukuphela komuntu oseBhayibhelini ohlobene nomhlanga wokulinganisa.
Ngakho, singakwazi ukubala isici sesikali kanje:
144 izingalo ÷ 6 izingalo = 24
Manje siyazi ukuthi kwakuzothatha isikhathi esiphindwe ka-24 ukuhlanza indlu engcwele yasezulwini uma iqhathaniswa neyasemhlabeni. Njengoba sazi ukuthi indawo engcwele yasemhlabeni ithatha izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ukuhlanzwa, manje sesingabala isikhathi sokuhlanzwa kwendlu engcwele yasezulwini:
7 izinsuku × 24 = 168 izinsuku
Lokho, yiqiniso, kuhumushela eminyakeni engu-168 yesikhathi esingokwesiprofetho sokuhlanza indlu engcwele yasezulwini, esiyibona ngokushesha esifundweni se-Orion njengokuhambisana nesifungo somuntu phezu komfula sokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo. Ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo kusazodinga isikhathi esengeziwe kuleyo minyaka eyi-168, njengoba kuboniswa iqiniso lokuthi izinsuku eziyisikhombisa zokuhlanza i-altare azikona ukuphela kwendaba. Abapristi kwakumelwe bazingcwelise phakathi nezinsuku eziyisikhombisa, kodwa kamuva iminikelo yabantu yamukeleka. Ukwemukelwa kukaNkulunkulu kuthenjiswa ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili futhi emva kwalokho ngeminikelo eqhubekayo:
Futhi lapho lezi zinsuku seziphelile, kuyakuba, lokho ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili, njalo njalo, abapristi bayakwenza iminikelo yenu yokushiswa e-altare neminikelo yenu yokuthula; futhi ngiyakunamukela, isho iNkosi uJehova. (Hezekeli 43: 27)
Ngakho, iminikelo yabantu eqala “ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili” nolulandelayo ihambisana nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo. Lesi yisikhathi lapho abafel’ ukholo beyofa khona futhi abaningi bayobizwa baphume eBhabhiloni. Isiqinisekiso esinikezwe kuleli vesi sithi: “Ngiyakunamukela, isho iNkosi uJehova.” Igazi labafel’ ukholo liyigugu emehlweni Akhe.
Ngokuhambisana nesiprofetho sezinsuku ezingama-2300 esaphelelwa yisikhathi ngo-1844, manje asinayo kuphela impendulo yokuthi ukuhlanza kufanele kuthathe isikhathi esingakanani, kodwa futhi nesinye isisekelo sokushumayela umlayezo wesikhathi esifana nokukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili kukaWilliam Miller. Bangane abathandekayo, manje sesazi okuthile okungekho muntu owake wazi ngaphambili. Ngicela ungavele uhambe ubona izinombolo kuphela. Indawo engcwele yasezulwini ingokoqobo; nguMuzi oNgcwele, iJerusalema Elisha. Labo abayoba phakathi kwabangu-144,000 XNUMX bayolotshwa ngisho negama elithi “iJerusalema Elisha” emabunzini abo!
Umongo wesAmbulo 10:11 uwukudumazeka okukhulu, futhi lapho ethi, “Kumelwe uprofethe. futhi,” ibhekise kahle emlayezweni wesikhathi sokukhala phakathi kwamabili oholele kuwo. Kwakuyisiprofetho sokuZa kwesiBili okwakufanele kuprofethwe futhi. Ngalowo mqondo, ukushunyayelwa kwesigijimi sengelosi yesithathu kwakungaphelele ekugcwalisekeni kwalelivesi njengokushunyayelwa kwesigijimi sesikhathi sokubuya kukaKristu okuseduze ngemva nje kokuphela kokuhlanzwa kweminyaka eyi-168 kwendlu engcwele yasezulwini.
Amazwi uHezekeli asiletha kithi anokubaluleka okukhulu manje kumongo “wangempela” waphakathi kwamabili wokukhala koMiller wesibili:
Ndodana yomuntu, siyini leso saga eninaso ezweni lakwa-Israyeli sokuthi: 'Izinsuku ziyandiswa, nayo yonke imibono iyafiphala, na? Ngakho yithi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; Ngiyakwenza ukuba lesi saga siphele, bangabe besakhuluma ngaso kwa-Israyeli; kodwa uthi kubo: ‘Izinsuku sezisondele, nomphumela wayo yonke imibono. Ngokuba akusayikuba-khona noma yimuphi umbono oyize noma ukubhula okuthophayo phakathi kwendlu yakwa-Israyeli. Ngokuba nginguJehova; ngiyakukhuluma, izwi engiyakulikhuluma liyakugcwaliseka; akusayikuqhubeka; + ngoba ezinsukwini zenu nina ndlu ehlubukayo + ngizokhuluma izwi, ngilenze, + isho iNkosi uJehova. Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: “Ndodana yomuntu, bheka, abendlu yakwa-Israyeli bathi: ‘Umbono awubonayo ungowezinsuku eziningi ezizayo, uprofetha ngezikhathi ezikude. Ngakho-ke yithi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; Akusayikuchithwa nelilodwa lamazwi ami, kepha izwi engilikhulumileyo liyakufezeka, isho iNkosi uJehova. (UHezekeli 12: 22-28)
Kunemibuzo eminingi evulekile ku-Adventist Bible Commentary yethu mayelana nethempeli likaHezekeli. Akekho owayazi ukuthi lisho ukuthini ngempela ithempeli. Ngokuvamile kwakuqondwa njengento efana nomklamo "ophelele", kodwa ayizange yakhiwe. Izazi zethu zinombono wokuthi esikaHezekeli sasiyisiprofetho esinemibandela, nokuthi wabona ithempeli elaliyobe lakhiwe ukuba u-Israyeli akazange ambethele uJesu esiphambanweni. Njengoba sibona manje, lesi siprofetho sasiyindawo yokucasha yobukhulu eyayiyosenza sazi ukuthi ukwahlulela kwabafileyo kuyophela nini. “Iyisitsha” esiqukethe amaqiniso athile aholela ngokushesha esifundweni esihle ngendlela efanayo nesifundo se-Orion.
Futhi, sixazulule okungenani izindida ezimbili lapho izifundiswa zethu zamazwana ezingaphumputha ebumnyameni. Manje sesiyazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuthi ingalo yesAmbulo “ilingana nesilinganiso somuntu,” futhi sinokuqonda okujulile kwalokho okushiwo ithempeli likaHezekeli elingakaze lakhiwe nokuthi liwuqinisekisa kanjani ukwakheka kwe-Orion.
Yini ekuFomula?
Uma uthi nhlá, lolu cwaningo lubonakala lunikeza umphumela ofanayo nowokufunda kwe-Orion nesifungo sikaDaniyeli 12, kodwa ingabe kunjalo ngempela? Ake sibhekisise amafomula ezifundweni ezihlukahlukene.
Okokuqala, indlela yomuntu (uJesu) phezu komfula kuDaniyeli 12 imi kanje: UJesu (7) ufunga () emadodeni amabili (2) (12) ohlangothini ngalunye lomfula (+). Umfula uphawula ukubethelwa kukaJesu esiphambanweni futhi kanjalo uhlukanisa izigaba zezikhathi ezimbili zomlando wesintu namaqembu amabili esintu elinye kwelinye: lawo afanekiselwa izinzalamizi ezingu-12 zezizwe zakwa-Israyeli ezazibheke esikhathini esizayo kuMesiya ozayo nalabo abafanekiselwa abaphostoli abangu-12 ababheka emuva futhi bathembele kuMsindisi owayefikile. Inkulumo ibhalwe kanje:
(12 × 7) + (12 × 7)
UJesu ukhombisa indima Yakhe ohlelweni lwensindiso ngalenkulumo; okungukuthi, uyisithunywa sesivumelwano esisha, futhi Waletha ukulungiswa wabaphilayo nabafileyo ngomhlatshelo waKhe. (Abangu-144,000 bakha abaphilayo.)
Okwesibili, ifomula yenkantolo yasezulwini yesAmbulo 4 yasinika umbono wokuqala wokuthi iwashi le-Orion lalizosebenza kanjani. Enkantolo, sathola amalungu amathathu oMkhandlu Waphezulu (3) kanye nezidalwa ezine eziphilayo (4) ezakha izidalwa eziyisikhombisa (7). Laba bazungezwe abadala abangamashumi amabili nane (24). Leli lungiselelo silibheka njengewashi lamahora angu-24 elineminyaka eyisikhombisa yasemhlabeni ehambisana nehora ngalinye lewashi. Ngakho-ke, ifomula ithi:
24 × 7
UNkulunkulu uBaba unguMahluleli Ophakeme wendawo yonke futhi uyena owahlala phansi wavula isikhathi senkantolo. UNkulunkulu uBaba wanika iNcwadi yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa (iwashi le-Orion) kuJesu, owavula uphawu lokuqala ngo-1846 njengommeli wethu. Le fomula ibonisa indima kaNkulunkulu uBaba njengoMahluleli Ophakeme kanye nombusi wesikhathi. Kungakho uBaba kuphela owayazi isikhathi ngaphambi kokwahlulela kophenyo. UNkulunkulu uBaba unezwi lokugcina enkantolo, futhi ukudunyiswa wabangcwele kuYe.
Okwesithathu, ifomula yendlu engcwele yasemhlabeni ebesiyifunda kulesi sihloko futhi inomehluko ocashile uma iqhathaniswa namafomula amabili okuqala, nakuba wonke alingana nomphumela ofanayo we-168. Kulolu cwaningo, sithole isilinganiso sesikhathi sezinsuku/iminyaka eyisikhombisa (7) siphindwe ngesilinganiso sesikali samashumi amabili nane (24). Ngakho-ke, ifomula iyisithombe sesibuko sangaphambilini:
7 × 24
Isici sika-24 sabalwa njengesilinganiso sokuphakama kwezindonga ezimbili ezikhomba umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele kithi, esihlanza ukuze sikwazi ukunqoba udonga lwesono olusihlukanisa nezulu. Lena inqubo ye ukungcweliswa.
Zontathu lezi zimo zivumelana ngokuphelele komunye nomunye futhi, ngobuhle bezwi likaNkulunkulu, zibonisa umsebenzi othile welungu ngalinye lobuNkulunkulu ohlelweni lwensindiso.
Kusenesinye isiqhathaniso esihle. Sesibonile kakade ukuthi indlela yendlu engcwele yasemhlabeni ifanekisela kanjani indlela yendlu engcwele yasezulwini. Njengoba ifomula yendlu engcwele yasezulwini yachazwa ngokugcwele yiwashi le-Orion nezinkathi zalo ezingu-24 zeminyaka engu-7 ngayinye, kufanele futhi kube nocwaningo oluchaza ngokugcwele ukwakheka kwendlu engcwele yasemhlabeni yezinkathi ezingu-7 zeminyaka engu-24 ngayinye, okungase ngokufanayo kuvule ukuqonda ngomlando weBandla lama-Adventist kanye nesiphetho sethu.
Iwashi le-Orion lifanekiselwa izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa futhi alibonisi nje okwedlule kodwa nekusasa Ngonyaka lokubuya kukaKristu. Ucabanga ukuthi isifundo sesikhathi sozakwethu sizofanekiselwa ngani? Ucabanga ukuthi izoqukatha luphi ulwazi? Ingabe ucabanga ukuthi kungase kusinikeze usuku lwangempela lokubuya kukaJesu kwesibili futhi mhlawumbe ngisho nokuqala kwesikhathi sosizi, umthetho wangeSonto eYurophu nase-US, ukuvalwa komnyango womusa, nokunye? Ucabanga ukuthi izindikimba zasezulwini zizophinde zidlale indima? Uma kunjalo, yiziphi ocabanga ukuthi zifaneleka ukuba zimelele indawo engcwele “yasemhlabeni,” njengoba izinkanyezi zazimelela indawo engcwele yasezulwini?
Thokozani kanye nami ngezambulo ezimangalisayo ezivela eNkosini yethu uJesu Kristu, uNkulunkulu uBaba, noMoya oNgcwele, onikeza ithemba nesibindi kubantu Babo abacindezelekile. Cabangela amazwi omprofethi weqiniso, owahlala ekhuluma iqiniso futhi ngenxa yokwethembeka kwakhe uyoma nabangu-144,000 XNUMX ukuze babukele ukusondela kwalelo fu elincane osekunesikhathi lilindelwe.
Izwi likaNkulunkulu kufanele libe isifundo sethu. Kumelwe sifundise izingane zethu ngamaqiniso atholakala kuwo. Kuyingcebo engapheli; kodwa abantu bayahluleka wukuthola le ngcebo ngoba abayifuni ize ibe phakathi kwabo. Abaningi baneliswa ukusikisela okuphathelene neqiniso. Baneliswa ukwenza okuthile, bethatha kalula nje ukuthi banakho konke okubalulekile. Bathatha amazwi abanye njengeqiniso, bevilapha kakhulu ukuba bazinikele emsebenzini wenkuthalo, wenkuthalo, omelelwe ezwini ukumba ingcebo efihliwe. Kodwa izinto eziqanjwe umuntu azithembekile nje kuphela, ziyingozi; ngoba babeka umuntu lapho okumele abe khona uNkulunkulu. Babeka amazwi abantu lapho “Isho kanje iNkosi” okufanele ibe khona. {COL 109.1}
Umuntu wokuqala owabala kahle ukuqala kokwaHlulelwa kwakunguWilliam Miller. Wayengayazi le ngcaphuno engenhla, kodwa waphila ngayo. Umsebenzi wakhe kwakuwukudla “incwadi encane” yeSambulo 10, njengoba kulotshwe khona eNcwadini yezincwadi kuze kube phakade.
Ngokuvumelana nephupho lakhe siqu ( Early Writings, p. 81), enye indoda yayiyothola udumo lokuholwa uMoya oNgcwele ukuze ithole ingcebo efihliwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu—ingcebo eyayiyokhanya ngokuphindwe kashumi ngisho nangaphezu kukaMiller. Umcebo omkhulu kunawo wonke lokho uMiller akuthola kwakuwukuqala kokwahlulela kwasezulwini. Ngo-2004/2005, okunye ukuzingelwa kwengcebo kwaqala lapho “uMiller” wesibili owayeprofethiwe eqala lapho amaphayona ayegcine khona, futhi wathola okwakuzoba “waphinda waprofetha”—ukuphela kwesahlulelo sasezulwini nokubuya kukaJesu okuseduze. Lokhu kuzingelwa kwengcebo kwesibili kwenzeka kuphela ngoba ngashiya inkampani yami, amakhasimende ami kanye nendlela yokuphila yangaphambili e-altare likaNkulunkulu, futhi “ngazinikela” ukuze ngisebenzele Yena.
Ngakho, i okwesibili neqiniso ukukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili okumemezela ukuBuya kwesiBili kukaJesu kugcwalisa iSambulo 10:11 ngokuphelele, futhi iSambulo 11 sibonisa ukuthi ngeke kuphele ngokudumazeka ngalesi sikhathi. Kungakho ingcebo yeMiller yesibili ikhanya ngokuphindwe kashumi, njengezinkanyezi zezulu... futhi njengeNkanyezi yaseBetlehema yaholela abahlakaniphileyo emkhombeni weNkosi esanda kuzalwa, izinkanyezi zezulu zihola abahlakaniphileyo banamuhla ekufikeni kweNkosi yaseNkazimulweni.
