Isendlalelo: Ukudumazeka Okukhulu
Ngo-1843 no-1844, uchungechunge lokudumazeka lwenzeka ngenxa yokuthi abantu base-Advent babebheke ukuphela kwezwe nokuthi umhlaba uhlanzwe ngomlilo. Ukuqonda kwabo uDaniyeli 8:14 kwakunephutha mayelana nalesi senzakalo. Bahumusha “…Kwaze kwaba yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona-ke indlu engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa” okusho ukuthi umhlaba (indlu engcwele) wawuyoshiswa (uhlanjululwe). Ngemva kokufunda ngokucophelela nangokuzimisela ukuze bathole kahle ukuthi lesi sigameko esikhulu sizokwenzeka nini, badumala kakhulu ngoba akwenzekanga lutho.
Abambalwa abathembekile balelo qembu baqhubeka nokuthandaza nokufunda futhi babambelele okholweni lwabo endleleni uNkulunkulu ayebahole ngayo kuze kube yileso sikhathi. Ngenxa yokuthi bahlala bethembekile, bathola enye yezimfundiso eziyisisekelo ze-Advent Movement, okuyi-Sanctuary Doctrine, efundisa konke ngoSuku Lokuhlawulela olwaqala endaweni engcwele yasezulwini ngo-October 22, 1844. Lena kwakuyincazelo yangempela kaDaniyeli 8:14 . Uma sibheka emuva, kunengqondo ukuthi umhlaba wawungeke ubhujiswe ngomlilo ngaphambi kokuba kufike isahlulelo sokunquma ukuthi yimuphi umvuzo umuntu ngamunye ayeyowuthola.
Isingeniso: Ukudumazeka Kwethu Okuncane
Uma sibheka emuva, siye salandela ezicathulweni zamaMillerite. Sidlule ochungechungeni lokuphoxeka kusukela ngoFebhuwari kuya kuMeyi ngoba besibheke okunye “ukuhlanzwa ngomlilo” emcimbini webhola lomlilo owaprofethiwe. Ukuqonda kwethu iziprofetho zesikhathi zikaDaniyeli 12 kwakunephutha mayelana nezenzakalo. Sihumushe ukuqala kwenkathi ngayinye njengokusho ukuthi amabhola omlilo azowela ngalolo suku. Ngemva kwazo zonke izifundo zethu ezicophelelayo kanye nenkuthalo futhi (kufanele ngengeze) eziholwa nguMoya ukuthola ukuthi lezi zikhathi zizoqala nini, sadumala “kancane” ngokuthi akwenzekanga lutho olubonakalayo ukuze kuqinisekiswe noma yiziphi izifundo zethu.
Kukho konke, iqembu lethu elincane liye lahlala lithembekile futhi siye saqhubeka sithandaza futhi sifunda futhi sethemba ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele usihole kanjani kuze kube manje. Ngenxa yokuthi sahlala sithembekile, sathola amaqiniso ayigugu ngalokho okwenzekile futhi okwenzekayo endaweni engcwele yasezulwini kulezi zinsuku ezingakaze zibonwe ngaphambili, eziwumfuziselo walokho ama-Adventist okuqala akufunda. Ngamanye amazwi, izifundo zethu ziqedela ukukhanya kweMfundiso eNgcwele eyaqala ngemva kokudumala okukhulu kwango-1844.
Sifundile ekudumazekeni kwethu okuncane ukuthi besigxile kakhulu ezintweni zasemhlabeni, lapho izingqondo zethu kufanele zigxile ezintweni zasezulwini, ikakhulukazi okwenzeka endaweni engcwele yasezulwini. Njengoba nje isiprofetho esikuDaniyeli 8:14 siphathelene nezinto zasezulwini, kanjalo ukuqala kwezinsuku ezingu-1335, 1290, neziyi-1260 nakho kuphathelene nezinto zasezulwini. Iziprofetho ziwukuthi siqonde okwenzekile ezinkantolo zasezulwini lapho uJesu esebenza khona, zingasitsheli ukuthi uSathane uzowudala nini umonakalo emhlabeni. Njengama-Adventist, sikhuluma kakhulu ngokulandela uJesu endaweni eNgcwelengcwele. Akufanele yini imicabango yethu ibe seNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele na?
Iziprofetho zesikhathi ezikuDaniyeli zisho ukuqala nesiphetho kwemibuso, kodwa azisho ngokuqondile ukuthi leyo mibuso iyokwenzani nokuthi iyokwenza nini.
UDaniyeli waphendula wathi: Malibongwe igama likaNkulunkulu kuze kube phakade naphakade. ngokuba ukuhlakanipha namandla kungokwakhe, uyaguqula izikhathi nezinkathi; uyasusa amakhosi, abeke amakhosi; uyabapha abahlakaniphileyo ukuhlakanipha, nokwazi kwabakwaziyo ukuqonda, wembula izinto ezijulile nezisithekileyo; uyakwazi okusebumnyameni, nokukhanya kuhlala kuye. ( Daniyeli 2:20-22 )
UNkulunkulu umemezela izenzo zaKhe, hhayi izenzo zesitha. Umlilo owehla uvela ezulwini uyizenzo zamandla esilo, hhayi zikaNkulunkulu. Ngizokutshela kulesi sihloko nje ngubani imemezela amabhola omlilo. Kodwa leyo akuyona indaba yalesi sihloko; esigxile kukho siwukubonisa lokho ngempela okwenzeka endaweni engcwele yasezulwini eyabeka inkundla yombuso waseBabiloni ukuba wenze idrama yawo yokugcina ‘yesikhathi, nezikhathi, nengxenye’ emisiwe.
Izizwe Eziyi-12, Ezidlule Nezamanje
Ekuqaleni kwendaba ka-Israyeli wasendulo, uJakobe wayenamadodana angu-12. Lawo madodana ayishumi nambili anda abe izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli. UNkulunkulu wakhetha ukwenza isivumelwano sakhe nalabo abayishumi nambili. Ngemva kwakho konke ukuhlubuka kuka-Israyeli okwafinyelela umvuthwandaba ngokulahla uMesiya, u-Israyeli wanqunywa futhi uJesu waqala ibandla lakhe elisha ephuma kumakholwa ayinsalela akwa-Israyeli.
UJesu waqhubeka nesivumelwano nabafundi bakhe abangu-12. Labo abayishumi nambili baphuma ngamandla, beshumayela ivangeli emhlabeni. Baba izinhloko zebandla lobuKristu futhi bandisa isigijimi sevangeli phakathi kwabantu emhlabeni wonke.
Ngemva Kokudumazeka Okukhulu, kwaphinde kwaba nabacishe babe yishumi nambili abahlala bethembekile. Lawo badala bebandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist bahola inhlangano eyanda yaba yihlelo elikhulu lobuKristu eliyilo namuhla. Nokho, ibandla (njengo-Israyeli wasendulo) selifinyelele esimweni sokuhlubuka ngokuphelele, futhi uMoya oNgcwele uye wahola enye insali ethembekile (yensali) ukuba ithathe ivangeli elimsulwa iliyise ezweni elididekile kulezi zinsuku zokugcina.
... futhi kwabekwa uphawu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane kuzo zonke izizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Esizweni ngasinye kwaphawulwa abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili. (Funda isAmbulo 7:4-5.)
UMoya oNgcwele uhole abantu abangu-12 ukuba babe ngabaholi bebandla elisha labayi-144,000. Yilowo nalowo uyoba umholi “wesizwe” esisodwa sabangu-12,000 18 ngokwala mavesi angenhla. Uma amandla achazwe kusAmbulo 1:XNUMX ehla evela ezulwini, laba abayishumi nambili “bayokwanda” futhi bakhanyise umhlaba wonke ngesimo sikaNkulunkulu. Ngemva kwalokho, abantu ababi nabahlubukayo emhlabeni bayonqunywa unomphela yiZihlupho Zokugcina futhi uJesu uzobuya.
Abadala abangu-24 bakwa-Israyeli Wasendulo
U-Israyeli wasendulo wakhiwe izizwe eziyishumi nambili, ezaziyinzalo yamadodana ayishumi nambili kaJakobe. “Abadala” bokuqala bakwa-Israyeli amadodana ayishumi nambili. Labo badala abayishumi nambili bakwa-Israyeli bamisa isisekelo sesizwe sakwa-Israyeli nokholo. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi isizwe sakhula futhi sadlula kuwo wonke umlando waso omibalabala kwaze kwaba sekugcineni kwakho konke, lapho uMesiya efika, wabiza abafundi abayishumi nambili ukuba bamele insali. Laba babengabadala bokugcina abayishumi nambili besizwe sakwa-Israyeli. Kwakukhona abadala abayishumi nambili ekuqaleni, nabadala abayishumi nambili ekugcineni.
Abadala bokuqala bakwa-Israyeli babenendima yokuqinisa ukholo lwezizwe zakwa-Israyeli. Okuhlangenwe nakho kwabo ekuphileni kwaba ifa lesizwe nesisekelo sokholo lwabo. Nakuba baguquka ngokujulile futhi bezinikele kuNkulunkulu, abazange bakubone ukugcwaliseka kwesithembiso sikaMesiya.
Abadala bokugcina bakwa-Israyeli, abafundi abayishumi nambili, babenendima ehlukile. Ngokholo loyise, babona uJesu njengoMesiya futhi balandela ubizo lwakhe ekuphileni kwabo. Bahamba nabo, bakhuluma, futhi bathinta isithembiso esikhulu kuIsrayeli. Laba “badala bokugcina” bezizwe zakwa-Israyeli bashintshwa ngokuhamba kwabo noJesu futhi kamuva bagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele bashumayela ivangeli ngamandla.
Abadala abangama-24 egumbini lesihlalo sobukhosi
Njengoba u-Israyeli wasendulo wazalwa ngamadodana ayishumi nambili, kanjalo i-Advent Movement yazalwa ngemva kokudumazeka okukhulu ngabantu abayishumi nambili. Qaphela okulandelayo:
Njengoba silandelela indaba yokuqala kokugcinwa kweSabatha phakathi kwama-Adventist akuqala, siya esontweni elincane elokishini lase-Washington enkabeni ye-New Hampshire, isifunda esihlangene ne-Maine empumalanga futhi umngcele waso osentshonalanga ungaphakathi kwamamayela angamashumi ayisithupha omugqa wesifunda saseNew York. Lapha amalungu ebandla elizimele lobuKristu ngo-1843 ezwa futhi akwamukela ukushunyayelwa kwesigijimi se-Advent. Kwakuyiqembu eliqotho. Phakathi kwabo kwafika umBhaptizi Wosuku Lwesikhombisa, uRachel Oakes, owasakaza amapheshana abeka izimfuno ezibophezelayo zomthetho wesine. Abanye ngo-1844 balibona futhi balamukela leli qiniso leBhayibheli. Omunye wabo, uWilliam Farnsworth, enkonzweni yangeSonto ekuseni, wema ngezinyawo zakhe futhi wamemezela ukuthi uhlose ukugcina iSabatha likaNkulunkulu lomthetho wesine. Abanye abayishumi nambili bahlanganyela naye, bema ngokuqinile kuyo yonke imiyalo kaNkulunkulu. BabengamaSeventh-day Adventist okuqala. {EW xx.2}
Njengamadodana ayishumi nambili akwa-Israyeli, laba “badala” bama-Adventist bamisa isisekelo sebandla le-Advent nokholo. Bashaya ngokucophelela nangokucophelela izimfundiso eziyisisekelo zebandla. Ibandla nalo selikhulile futhi selidlule kowalo umlando “onemibalabala” kuze kube sekugcineni kwakho konke, uJesu usezobuya manje.
Okwenzeka kubafundi bakaJesu abayishumi nambili ngokufanayo kuwumfanekiso wezinsuku zokugcina ze-Adventism. Ensalini yamakholwa akwa-Israyeli ayebheke uMesiya ozayo, uJesu wakhetha abaholi abayishumi nambili. Ngokunjalo, kumakholwa asalayo e-Adventism abheke ukuBuya kwesiBili, uJesu nge-Orion ukhethe abaholi abayishumi nambili. Laba “badala bokugcina” be-Adventism bangabaholi abaprofethiwe be-144,000 (IsAmbulo 7:4 nalandelayo). Bayizinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili emqhele (iBandla le-SDA) lowesifazane (iLobukholwa) wesAmbulo 12:1. Ngamunye uhola “isizwe” sakhe sabangu-12,000 XNUMX.
Abadala bokuqala be-Adventism babenendima yokumisa ukholo lwe-Advent Movement. Okuhlangenwe nakho kwabo Ngokudumazeka Okukhulu kanye nokusebenza ngokucophelela kokholo lwabo kwaba ifa le-Adventism kanye nesisekelo sokholo lwethu (njengamadodana ayishumi nambili kaJakobe). Nakuba amaphayona ama-Adventist adlula kokuhlangenwe nakho okujulile futhi ezinikele kuNkulunkulu, awazange asibone isithembiso sokuZa kwesiBili. Konke lokhu kufana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwabadala bokuqala bakwa-Israyeli wasendulo.
Abadala bokugcina be-Adventism, “abaholi bezizwe” abayishumi nambili, banendima ehlukile. Ngokukholwa koyise be-Adventism, baqaphela e-Orion ukuthi uJesu uyeza futhi walandela ubizo lwakhe. Bayobona isithembiso sokuZa kwesiBili sembuleka phambi kwamehlo abo, njengoba nje abaphostoli “baphatha” uJesu. Laba “badala bokugcina” be-Adventism bashintshwa ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo noJesu e-Orion futhi bayogcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele ukuze bakhanyise ngamandla izwe ngesimilo sikaNkulunkulu ngendlela efanayo njengabaphostoli.
Esifundweni se-Orion, kakade sesitholile ukuthi abadala abangu-24 bamelela amahora angu-24 oSuku olukhulu Lokubuyisana. Kodwa bangobani? Ingabe bangahlanganisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, noma abafundi abayishumi nambili? Akunjalo, ngoba iwashi le-Orion aliqali ukuphawula kuze kube ngu-1844! Abadala abangu-24 kufanele kube abadala be-Adventism, bonke abakhonza ngemva kokuqala kwesinqumo sophenyo ngo-1844.
Iqhaza Labadala Abangu-24
Kusho ukuthini ukugqoka umqhele? Imiqhele ayigqokwa ngamakhosi na? Cabanga ukuthi ubani ogqoke imiqhele evesini elilandelayo:
Isihlalo sobukhosi sasihaqe isihlalo sobukhosi izihlalo ezingamashumi amabili nane. babenemiqhele yegolide emakhanda abo. ( IsAmbulo 4:4 )
Ngakho-ke, abadala abangu-24 empeleni “bangamakhosi” ngomqondo othile. Lokhu kwenziwa kwacaca nakakhulu, futhi kwachazwa ngokuqhubekayo kanjena:
Kuthe seliyithabathile incwadi, izidalwa ezine eziphilayo namalunga angamashumi amabili nane awa phansi phambi kweWundlu, ngayinye inehabhu nezitsha zegolide zigcwele impepho eyimikhuleko yabangcwele. Bahlabelela ingoma entsha, bathi: “Ufanele ukuthatha incwadi nokuvula izimpawu zayo, ngokuba wahlatshwa, wasihlengela uNkulunkulu ngegazi lakho abavela kuzo zonke izizwana, nezilimi, nabantu, nezizwe; Wasenza amakhosi nabapristi kuNkulunkulu wethu, futhi siyakubusa emhlabeni. ( IsAmbulo 5:8-10 )
Futhi, siyabona ukuthi abadala abangu-24 bahlabelela ingoma “entsha,” bethi (phakathi kwezinye izinto) iWundlu (uJesu) libenze “amakhosi nabapristi” kuNkulunkulu. Baphinde bathi “ukubusa” kwabo kusemhlabeni. Ngakho, abadala abangu-24 bangamakhosi kaNkulunkulu obusa emhlabeni.
Manje, kungani nicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu unamakhosi azobusa emhlabeni, ngaphandle kweNdodana Yakhe? Sesichazile esihlokweni esinesihloko Ubizo Lwethu Oluphezulu ukuthi uNkulunkulu usenkantolo nokuthi kuyadingeka ukuthi izidalwa ezidaliwe zisebenze njengofakazi ukuze kubonise inkantolo ukuthi uMthetho kaNkulunkulu ungagcinwa ngempela, ngaleyo ndlela iphikisa izinsolo zikaSathane. Bonke abangu-144,000 24 bayoba ofakazi, kodwa abadala abangu-XNUMX ikakhulukazi bakhonza njengamakhosi. Noma kunjalo, empeleni enzani la makhosi?
Kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo, amakhosi abeyifeza indima yomahluleli. Amakhosi ayehlala esangweni lomuzi, noma esihlalweni sobukhosi endaweni yawo ekhethekile yokwahlulela, futhi noma ubani onendaba ephikisanayo wayengeza alethe udaba lwakhe emakhosini. Khumbula ukuthi eMpikiswaneni Enkulu, manje nguNkulunkulu osenkantolo, noSathane okufanele ahlulelwe. Lokhu kwaprofethwa evesini elilandelayo mayelana noSathane:
Inhliziyo yakho yaziphakamisa ngenxa yobuhle bakho, wonakalisile ukuhlakanipha kwakho ngenxa yokukhanya kwakho; ngizakubeka phambi kwamakhosi, ukuze akubone. (Hezekeli 28: 17)
Ivesi elingenhla likhuluma ngoNkulunkulu eletha uSathane phambi “kwamakhosi” ukuze axazulule udaba phakathi kwabo. Uyabona, lonke icala alinabo ofakazi kuphela kodwa libuye libe nomahluleli. UYise noma iNdodana abakwazi ukukhonza njengomahluleli ngokumelene noSathane ngesizathu esisobala sokuthi abathathi hlangothi ecaleni. Ngabantu, abadalwe “abangathathi hlangothi” ngemva kokuqala kweMpikiswano Enkulu, abayokhonza “njengamakhosi” ukwahlulela uSathane.
Ngakho-ke, esikhundleni sabo sobukhosi abadala abangu-24 nabo bafeza indima “yamajaji” yokukhipha isahlulelo phakathi nesigaba sabo sokuqulwa kwecala.
Isihluthulelo sikaDavide
Umfundi ocophelelayo kungenzeka ukuthi usewubonile umkhondo okusAmbulo 5:10 wokuthi abadala abangama-24 abekho ngokoqobo ezulwini:
Futhi wasenza kuNkulunkulu wethu amakhosi nabapristi: futhi siyakubusa emhlabeni. (IsAmbulo 5: 10)
Lamakhosi, nakuba ekhipha isahlulelo esigodlweni sasezulwini, empeleni abusa emhlabeni. Ingabe wake wezwa ngomuntu eBhayibhelini owayenegunya lokumemezela isahlulelo saphakade kubantu basemhlabeni? Cabangela:
Futhi ngiyakukunika izihluthulelo zombuso wezulu, futhi noma yini oyoyibopha emhlabeni iyobe kuboshiwe ezulwini, futhi noma yini oyoyikhulula emhlabeni iyobe ikhululiwe ezulwini. ( Mathewu 16:19 )
Abafundi abayishumi nambili banikezwa igunya lokumemezela isahlulelo esibopha phakade kubantu basemhlabeni. Kodwa ingabe bakwenza ngempela? Cabanga ngesibonelo sika-Ananiya noSafira esilotshwe kuzEnzo 5:1-11 , lapho uPetru ebahlulela ngokuqamba amanga futhi bafa! Cabangela futhi izimangaliso abazenza:
Futhi ngezandla zabaphostoli kwenziwa izibonakaliso nezimangaliso eziningi phakathi kwabantu; ....baze bakhiphela phandle abagulayo emigwaqweni, bababeka emibhedeni nasezinhlakeni, ukuze kuthi lapho uPetru edlula, sisibekele abanye kubo isithunzi. Kwabuthana futhi isixuku esivela emadolobheni azungeze iJerusalema, beletha abagulayo nabakhathazwa imimoya engcolile; baphulukiswa bonke. (Funda izEnzo 5:12,15, 16-XNUMX.)
Khumbula ukuthi ukuphulukiswa okuyisimangaliso kwakungelona nje ushintsho olungokomzimba kuphela. UJesu usitshela ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi ukuphulukiswa ngokomzimba kuyisenzo sokuthethelela enkantolo yasezulwini:
Yikuphi okulula ukuthi kofe uhlangothi: ‘Uthethelelwe izono zakho; noma ukuthi: Vuka, uthabathe uhlaka lwakho, uhambe? (Marku 2:9)
Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yokuthi abaphostoli abayishumi nambili beWundlu baphulukisa “bonke” abeza kubo, ngokwenza kanjalo baba njengabakhulumeli bakaKristu owathethelela izono, ngaleyondlela ebopha futhi ekhulula ezulwini nasemhlabeni.
Khumbula ukuthi abaphostoli abayishumi nambili bawumfanekiso wabaholi abayishumi nambili be-144,000.
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Okholwa yimi, imisebenzi engiyenzayo mina naye uyakuyenza; nemikhulu kunale uyakuyenza; ngoba mina ngiya kuBaba. ( Johane 14:12 )
Ngokuqinisekile singasho ukuthi abaphostoli benza imisebenzi emikhulu, kodwa ingabe benza imisebenzi “emikhulu” kunoJesu? Lokho kungaba nzima ukukuphikisa! Nokho, esihlokweni Ubizo Lwethu Oluphezulu sichaza ukuthi “imisebenzi emikhulu” iyini ngempela… Futhi yisizukulwane sokugcina esiyenza, futhi siqinisekisa ukuthi abadala abayi-12 kwabangu-24 bangabaholi be-144,000.
Ibandla elingokomfanekiso laseFiladelfiya linikezwa umnyango ovulekile ongena endaweni eNgcwelengcwele:
Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseFiladelfiya loba ukuthi; Nakhu akushoyo ongcwele, oweqiniso, onakho isihluthulelo sikaDavide, ovula kungavali muntu; avale kungavuli muntu; Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho. ngibeké phambi kwakho umnyango ovulekile; akakho ongalivala, ngokuba unamandla amancane, uligcinile izwi lami, kawuliphikanga igama lami. ( IsAmbulo 3:7-8 )
Siyaqonda ukuthi amasonto amelela izifunda zomoya kanye nezinkathi zomlando. IPhiladelphia imelela uthando lobuzalwane oluyoboniswa ngabangu-144,000 XNUMX. Abagcini ngokunikezwa umnyango ovulekile, kodwa kuprofethwa ukuthi bayonikwa isihluthulelo sikaDavide uqobo, okuyigunya lokuvula nokuvala:
Ngiyakubeka isihluthulelo sendlu kaDavide ehlombe lakhe; kanjalo uyakuvula, kungabikho ovalayo; uyakuvala, kungavuli muntu. ( Isaya 22:22 )
Ubani lo okhuluma ngaye? Ivesi 20 lithi “u-Eliyakimi indodana kaHilikiya” nguyena okuyobekwa ukhiye ehlombe lakhe. UHilikiya nguye owathola incwadi yomthetho ethempelini ngesikhathi sikaJosiya. Lesi siprofetho siphathelene nabantu be-Advent, abaphinda bathola uMthetho kaNkulunkulu ngenkathi behlola indawo engcwele yasezulwini. Isebenza kumaphayona, kodwa futhi “nabadala” bokugcina abathi ngewashi likaNkulunkulu e-Orion baphinde bathola izinsika zoMthetho kaNkulunkulu lapho behlola indawo engcwele yasezulwini.
Ukhiye uvumela onawo ukuthi avule futhi avale umnyango. Okungukuthi, umnyango womusa! Ngamanye amazwi, labo abanokhiye banegunya (njengabafundi bakaJesu) lokubopha nokukhulula lapha emhlabeni, kube nemiphumela yaphakade. Banegunya lokwahlulela abantu emhlabeni, njengoba kwenza abaphostoli.
Laba banamandla okuvala izulu ukuze lingani ngezinsuku zokuprofetha kwabo, futhi banamandla phezu kwamanzi okuwaphendula abe yigazi, futhi ashaye umhlaba ngazo zonke izinhlupho, noma nini ngokuthanda kwabo. ( IsAmbulo 11:6 )
Lokhu futhi kubonisa ukuthi abadala abangu-24 bakhonza njengabahluleli phakathi nesigaba sokwahlulela abasingenelayo.
Izinsuku ezingu-1260: Okwenzekile Ngempela
Izinsuku ezingu-1260 zaqala lapho senza iSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa senyanga yesibili. Leso senzakalo sasimelela ukuphela kwemizamo yethu yokuxwayisa ibandla nokubiza abaholi be-144,000 144,000 ndawonye, ngakho-ke ukuphela kwenkathi yomusa yokuba iBandla lihlanganele eSidlweni SeNkosi Sakusihlwa. Imithandazo eminingi yenyuka egameni labaholi, labo abayoba phakathi kwe-XNUMX, kanye nabafel 'ukholo.
Behlanzwe kahle ngalesi sikhathi ngegazi likaJesu ensikeni yeminyango yezinhliziyo zabo, abaholi ekugcineni bangena eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele (ngokomfanekiso). Bahlala kanye labanye abadala abalitshumi lambili, amadoda amadala angamatshumi amabili lane. Abaholi abasha bafaka bonke engozini ukuze baphendule ubizo lukaKristu. Benza umsebenzi wabo wokuxwayisa abanye ngokuvalwa kokuvivinywa, futhi bagcina ukholo lwabo kukho konke ukulingwa nokudumazeka. Kwaqala ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo.
Ngase ngizwa indoda eyembethe ilineni eyayiphezu kwamanzi omfula, lapho iphakamisela ezulwini isandla sayo sokunene nesokhohlo, ifunga ophilayo kuze kube phakade ukuthi kuyakuba yisikhathi, nezikhathi, nenxenye; lapho isiqedile ukuhlakaza amandla abantu abangcwele, zonke lezi zinto ziyakuqedwa. ( Daniyeli 12:7 )
Lapha ekupheleni kweminyaka engu-168 yokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo okumelelwe ngezimpawu, ukwahlulelwa kweminyaka engu-3½ kwabaphilayo sekuqalile. Abadala bokuqala abayishumi nambili (amavulandlela e-Adventism) baye bazwakalisa izahlulelo zabo ngezimfundiso eziyisisekelo kanye nobufakazi bebandla eminyakeni eyi-168 edlule, futhi manje ngaphezu kwalokho abadala abasha sebehlanganyele nabo esigabeni esisha.
Lokhu kuqonda kwaqinisekiswa kithi ngamaphupho ahlukahlukene amakholwa ake abe nawo. Iphupho lango-Agasti 2011 liqukethe imikhondo elandelayo:
Bengisegunjini elingunxande elide kunobubanzi.... I-orchestra encane yayisizodlala enezintambo eziyisiyingi esingakwesobunxele sami kanye nethusi kwenye indilinga eseduze kwesokudla sami.... Umculo uthambile futhi muhle....
Leliphupho alizange lidonse ukunaka okukhulu ekuqaleni, kodwa lapho liphinda lithunyelwa ngokuphefumulelwa nguMoya oNgcwele futhi lamukela ngosuku olwandulela iSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa sesibili, ukubaluleka kwalo kwacaca. Besesivele sazi kobunye ubufakazi bokuthi abadala abangu-24 babehlukaniswe baba yizindilinga ezimbili, nokuthi isiyingi esisodwa kuphela esasikhona kuze kube manje. Leli phupho lasiqinisekisa ngokucacile ukuthi kwakusekuqaleni kwezinsuku ezingu-1260 lapho “iqembu le-orchestra” eliphelele labadala abangu-24 laqala khona ukwenza ndawonye ekwahluleleni abaphilayo. Emasontweni amabili nje ngaphambi kweSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa sesibili, umfowethu wakwazi ukubona isenzakalo ayesibone ephusheni. Bekuwusuku lokuzalwa kanye nephathi yokuvalelisa, ebihlelelwe kusihlwa ngoMeyi 5, 2012, ngesinye sezihlobo zakhe ayesibone ephusheni lakhe kulo mkhosi neqembu lomculo wezinsimbi.
Njengamanje, silindele ukuthululwa kwemvula yamuva, lapho siyothola khona uMoya oNgcwele namandla okukhanyisa umhlaba ngesimo sikaNkulunkulu.
Isifinyezo Sezehlakalo

February 27, 2012 - Ukuqala kwezinsuku eziyi-1335. Ngalolu suku, uBaba wasuka endaweni eNgcwelengcwele. UBaba wanikela konke ukwahlulela kuJesu, ohlala eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele ukuba akhonze njengoMahluleli kanye noMkhulumeli. Ukuhamba kukaBaba eNdaweni eNgcwele Ngcwele futhi kuphawula ukuvalwa kokuhlolwa kwebandla elihleliwe futhi kuvula indlela yokuba libhujiswe. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, iqembu elincane labaholi bensali, abadala bokugcina abayi-12, bangena ngokomfanekiso eNdaweni eNgcwele, balibhekisa eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele ukuze baqale ubufakazi balo njengofakazi ecaleni likaBaba.
Mashi 17, 2012 - Imaphakathi nezinsuku ezingama-40 endaweni eNgcwele. Ngalolu suku, iqeqebana labaholi ngokomfanekiso “lahlangana” noBaba emkhawulweni wendlela eliya kolunye uhlangothi lweNdawo eNgcwele.

Sagcina iSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa futhi sasusa zonke izimfihlakalo “zansuku zonke” ngezihloko esasizinyathelisa. Lokhu kwakuyinqubo yezinsuku ezingu-30 kwaze kwaba yisikhathi seSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa senyanga yesibili, lapho inqubo “yokususa zonke izinsuku” isiqediwe.
Kwangathi 6, 2012 - Ukuqala kwezinsuku eziyi-1260. Abaholi abangu-12 bangena endaweni eNgcwelengcwele bephethe isihluthulelo sikaDavide futhi bahlala ezihlalweni zabo njengabahluleli kanye nabanye abayi-12 kubadala abangu-24. Kwaqala ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo.

Isiphetho: Ukuphila EkwaHlulweni Kokugcina
Mfundi othandekayo, lezi yizikhathi ezibalulekile esiphila kuzo. Manje sisenkathini yokwahlulela lapho kwahlulelwa khona imiphefumulo ephilayo. Wonke umcabango, zonke izenzo zikalwa esilinganisweni. Ngamunye uzolandisa ngokulingana namathuba amahle namalungelo anikezwe wona. Manje! MANJE njalo isikhathi sokuphenduka ezonweni zakho futhi uzuze emseni kaKristu. Ikakhulukazi manje kule minyaka emibili nengxenye yokugcina ngaphambi komnyango wesihe kuwo wonke umuntu uzovalwa unomphela ekuqaleni Kwezinhlupho Zokugcina. Ngiyaninxusa ukuba nisebenzise konke ukuphefumula kwenu ukuze nikhazimulise uNkulunkulu phakathi nale minyaka emithathu nengxenye yokugcina yomlando womhlaba.
UNkulunkulu wavumela abantu Bakhe ukuba bathole Ukudumala Okukhulu kwango-1844 ngesizathu. Ukube baqonda kwasekuqaleni ukuthi isenzakalo ababesibhekile kwakungesikho ukuFika Kwesibili, kwakungeke kube khona amandla ngemva kokukhala kwecilongo ukuxwayisa umhlaba ngokwahlulela okuzayo. Ngokufanayo, uNkulunkulu wasivumela ukuba singaziqondi izenzakalo ezingokwesiprofetho zosuku lwethu ukuze ukukhala kwethu kwecilongo kube “nomsindo othile” wokuxwayisa ngokuphumelelayo ngesigaba esisha sokwahlulela.
USathane umemezela amacebo akhe. Izinsuku zobugebengu bakhe obubi (yebo, amabhola omlilo) zimenyezelwa kuyo yonke imithombo yezindaba yomphakathi kunoma ngubani onaka ngokwanele. Labo “abaphapheme” sebeyabona ukuthi sibhekene nezinguquko ezingakaze zibonwe emhlabeni wethu, kuyo yonke imikhakha. Sikholelwa ukuthi isitha sisebenza ngakho konke ukukhohlisa ukwenza iziprofetho zibonakale zigcwaliseka wakhe ishejuli, iqinisekisa yena njengomsindisi womhlaba. Zigxilise emilayezweni ethunyelwe nguMoya oNgcwele esiyethule, ikakhulukazi Orion futhi Umkhumbi Wesikhathi uNkulunkulu asinika sona njengesibonakaliso sokusiqinisa. Khumbula ukuthi umgunyathi kufanele uze ngaphambi kwento yangempela. Izinhlupho zamanga zikaSathane, njengoba zicekela phansi, azikwazi ukuba yizinhlupho zangempela ngoba kufanele zize ngaphambi kwezinhlupho zangempela (esaziyo ukuthi zizoba zikhulu kakhulu!). Ukubukeka kukaSathane okungamanga okumangazayo kufanele kuze ngaphambi kokuBuya Kwesibili kukaJesu kwangempela ngaphandle kwalokho ubengeke abe nalo nhlobo ithuba lokuza. Zifundeleni ukuze nizibonakalise nivunyiwe, niqaphele funa nikhohliswe! Yazi ubizo lwakho oluphezulu, kanye nemiphumela yokwehluleka.
Umkhuleko wethu owokuthi nihlale nithembekile kulesi sikhathi “sokuhlala eJerusalema” nokuthi nibusiswe ngoMoya oNgcwele ngaphandle kwesilinganiso lapho imvula yakamuva ekade ilindelwe kodwa ezokwehla ifika phezu kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu.
