Wake wazibuza yini ukuthi kwakuyokwenzekani uma umuntu oyedwa engekho kofakazi abangu-144,000 XNUMX? Kungaba namiphi imiphumela lokho ngeMpikiswano Enkulu? Uyaqonda ukuthi kungani uJesu ebuza, “Lapho iNdodana yomuntu ifika, ingabe iyothola ukholo emhlabeni?”
Abantu abaningi bacabanga ngaphandle kokucabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu unamandla kakhulu ukuba angalahlekelwa yiMpingo Enkulu. Ake ucabange: Ingabe uNkulunkulu ulungile noma akanabulungisa? Uma Elungile, ingabe inkantolo yasezulwini inganikeza ukuqulwa kwecala ngendlela efanele, noma ingabe iyovuna iqembu elinamandla amakhulu?
Uma ucabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubengeke azinikele ekuqulweni kwecala ngendlela efanele, kusho ukuthi awuqondi kahle ukuthi limayelana nani icebo lensindiso. Uma uNkulunkulu ubengabusa ngamandla Akhe kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungenzenjani, besingeke sibe khona isidingo sikaJesu, futhi asikho isidingo sofakazi abayizi-144,000. Kodwa uma uNkulunkulu evuma ukuquliswa icala ngendlela efanele, khona-ke uSathane unethuba lokukhombisa indawo yonke ukuthi ekupheleni komlando waleli zwe weminyaka eyizi-6000, ngeke kusale ngisho nezidalwa eziyizi-144,000 ezisafuna ukugcina imiyalo yoMdali. Lokhu kungaba ubufakazi bokuthi uSathane udinga ukunqoba icala elimelene noNkulunkulu.
Cabanga kancane ukuthi kungani, ngemva kweminyaka eyinkulungwane, uSathane ezohlasela umuzi kaNkulunkulu. Ingabe ngempela uyisiphukuphuku sokucabanga ukuthi angawina? Noma ingabe siyiziphukuphuku esingenakucabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ebeka yonke indawo engozini ngokholo lwabantu abayizi-144,000 abafana nami nawe? Ngokuqinisekile, uSathane akacabangi wakhe umdlalo usuphelile.
Okokuqala sidinga ukuqonda ukuthi uJesu wenzani ngempela ukuthi oyedwa kuphela olingana noNkulunkulu ayengakwenza, khona-ke siyokwazi ukuqonda ukuthi yini okufanele yenziwe ukuze kuqiniswe icebo lensindiso elingase libe khona. hhayi kwenziwe yinoma ubani olingana noNkulunkulu. Ngithandazela ukuthi njengoba ufunda lesi sihloko uzoqaphela ukuthi yini indima yakho isecebeni lensindiso.
Esiphambanweni
UJesu wakhokha isijeziso somthetho wesono. UJesu wafundisa nokuthi umthetho wawungeyona nje imiyalo eyishumi emifushane, kodwa lokho okushiwo yile miyalo kufinyelele emicabangweni nezizindlo zenhliziyo. Kwezinye izikhathi wayewafingqa abe yimithetho emibili. Ngamanye amazwi, noma sizisho kafushane noma ngobude, ububanzi bazo bukhulu ngokwanele ukuhlanganisa sonke isimo esingapheli sikaNkulunkulu; bawumbhalo wesimo Sakhe.
Umthetho kaNkulunkulu ubanzi njengendawo yonke, ngakho wawudinga umhlatshelo olinganayo ukuze ukhokhe inani lokuwephula. Munye kuphela owayemkhulu njengomthetho owayengaba umhlatshelo owanele.
Ukusindiswa komuntu kufezwa ngesikhathi izindleko ezingapheli eZulwini; umhlatshelo owenziwe ulingana nezimfuno ezibanzi zomthetho ophuliwe KaNkulunkulu. {GC88 489.1}
Kuze kube yilapho siqonda ububanzi bomthetho, asikwazi ukuqonda ukuthi kukhulu kangakanani ukuwa kwethu, noma ukuthi kukhulu kangakanani ukuhlengwa kwethu, noma ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani emehlweni kaNkulunkulu;
Ngubani ongalinganisa inani lomphefumulo na? Ubungakwazi yini ukubaluleka kwayo, hamba uye eGetsemane, futhi ubuke lapho kanye noKristu kulawo mahora osizi, lapho Ejuluka njengamathonsi egazi. Bheka uMsindisi ephakanyiswa esiphambanweni. Yizwa lokho kukhala okuphelelwa ithemba, “Nkulunkulu waMi, Nkulunkulu waMi, UNgishiyeleni na?” Marku 15:34 . Bheka ikhanda elilimele, uhlangothi olugwaziwe, izinyawo ezilimele. Khumbula lokho UKristu wafaka konke engozini. Ukuze sisindiswe, izulu ngokwalo lalisengozini. Phansi kwesiphambano, ukhumbula ukuthi ngesoni esisodwa uKristu wayeyobeka phansi ukuphila Kwakhe, ungase ulinganise ukubaluleka komphefumulo. {COL 196.4}
Wake wazibuza ukuthi umuntu oyedwa, uJesu, wayengakhokha kanjani inani lezono zomhlaba wonke? Yini ngempela ayiyekile? Ingabe wavele wahlupheka ngokufa okubuhlungu ngokomzimba njengabanye abantu abaningi abaye bahlupheka, futhi wanikela ngezinsuku ezintathu nje zokuphila Kwakhe ukuba achithe elele ethuneni? UDade White usitshela ngolimi olucacile ukuthi kwakukhona ukulahlekelwa okuphakade okuhambisana nomnikelo Wakhe:
Ngokuphila Kwakhe nokufa Kwakhe, uKristu usezuzile futhi na ngaphezulu kunokukhululwa encithakalweni eyenziwe ngesono. Kwakuyinhloso kaSathane ukuletha ukwehlukana kwaphakade phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu; kodwa kuKristu siba sisondelene kakhulu noNkulunkulu kunokuba sasingakaze siwe. Ekuthatheni imvelo yethu, uMsindisi uzibophele esintwini ngethayi elinjalo ungalokothi ukuphulwa. Ngokusebenzisa i- iminyaka yaphakade Uxhumene nathi. “UNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangangokuba waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa.” Johane 3:16 . Akamnikelanga kuphela ukuba athwale izono zethu, futhi afe njengomhlatshelo wethu; WaMnika emncintiswaneni owile. Ukuze asiqinisekise ngeseluleko saKhe sokuthula esingaguquki, uNkulunkulu wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba ibe yiyo omunye womndeni womuntu, Kuze kube phakade ukugcina isimo Sakhe sobuntu. Lesi yisithembiso sokuthi uNkulunkulu uzoligcwalisa izwi Lakhe. “Sizalelwe umntwana, siphiwe indodana; umbuso uyakuba semahlombe akhe.” UNkulunkulu ukwenzile yamukela imvelo yomuntu ebusweni beNdodana yakhe, futhi useyithathele ezulwini eliphezulu kakhulu. ‘YiNdodana yomuntu’ ehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sendawo yonke. “YiNdodana yomuntu” egama layo liyobizwa ngokuthi, “Omangalisayo, uMluleki, uNkulunkulu onamandla, uYise ongunaphakade, iNkosi yokuthula.” Isaya 9:6. UNGINGUKHO unguMdala phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nesintu, ebeka isandla Sakhe phezu kwakho kokubili. Lowo “ongcwele, ongenacala, ongenabala, ohlukanisiwe nezoni,” akanamahloni ukusibiza. Bazalwane. Hebheru 7:26; 2:11. KuKristu umndeni wasemhlabeni nomndeni wezulu uhlanganiswe ndawonye. UKristu okhazinyulisiwe ungumfowethu. Izulu lifakwe esintwini, futhi ubuntu bugoqwe esifubeni soThando Olungapheli. {I-DA 25.3}
Ecindezelwe isintu, uKristu wayengeke abe kuyo yonke indawo mathupha. {I-DA 669.2}
Iqiniso lokuthi uJesu waba ngumuntu lichaza unomphela ukuthi umhlatshelo Wakhe wawungenasiphelo kangakanani, nakuba ayengumuntu oyedwa kuphela. Wadela isimo Sakhe sangaphambili sokuba khona yonke indawo (okuwukuphela kwemvelo ekwazi ukuhlawulela zonke izono zaso sonke isikhathi). Wakunikela unomphela, ngamanye amazwi “ukufa kwesibili,” kuyilapho isimo Sakhe sobuntu sahlupheka kuphela ukufa kokuqala njengabalungileyo bezikhathi zonke. Wavuswa njengomuntu olungile, njengoba nje abafileyo abathembekile beyovuswa, hhayi esimweni saKhe sokuqala sokuba yonke indawo.Lokhu futhi kuchaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengamvusa kanjani ngaphandle “kokuqeda” ukufa kwesibili okwakumelwe ahlupheke ngakho ngenxa yezono zethu.
Ithempeli laseZulwini
Akungabazeki ukuthi ukufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni kwakubalulekile ohlelweni lwensindiso, kodwa kukhona okwengeziwe ohlelweni okubaluleke ngokufanayo:
The ukunxusa kukaKristu endaweni yomuntu endaweni engcwele phezulu is njengokubalulekile ohlelweni lwensindiso njengokufa kwakhe esiphambanweni. Ngokufa kwakhe waqala lowo msebenzi okwathi ngemva kokuvuka kwakhe wenyukela eZulwini wawuqedela. Kumelwe ngokukholwa singene ngaphakathi kwesihenqo, “lapho umanduleli angena khona ngenxa yethu.” [ Hebheru 6:20 .] Lapho kubonakala ukukhanya okuvela esiphambanweni saseKalvari. Lapho singathola ukuqonda okucacile ngezimfihlakalo zokuhlengwa. Ukusindiswa komuntu kufezwa ngezindleko ezingapheli zokuya eZulwini; umhlatshelo owenziwe ulingana nezimfuno ezibanzi zomthetho kaNkulunkulu ophuliwe. UJesu uyivulile indlela yesihlalo sobukhosi sikaYise, futhi ngokulamula kwakhe isifiso esiqotho sabo bonke abeza kuye ngokukholwa singalethwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu. {GC88 489.1}
Iwashi likaNkulunkulu e-Orion lisikhombisa ukuncenga kukaJesu emabandleni. Ibonisa ngokuqondile ukwehluleka kwamabandla njengoba kuphawulwa amanxeba Akhe, kubonisa indlela akhulumela ngayo ngegazi Lakhe ngenxa yethu njengoba umhlangano wenkantolo endlini engcwele yasezulwini uqhubeka. Iwashi liphinde lisikhombise ukuthi ukuncenga kumele kuphele.
UJesu wakhokha inani lezono zethu lapho efa esiphambanweni. Nokho, umthetho kaNkulunkulu usewumthetho wendawo yonke, futhi ukuze siphile ezulwini akumele nje kuphela sithethelelwe izono zethu kodwa futhi sibuyiselwe lapho singasesona khona, njengo-Adamu no-Eva ngaphambi kokuwa. Uma sisazisa isono ezinhliziyweni zethu, ngeke sikufanelekele ukuphila ezulwini. Lokhu kuhlanzeka kwenhliziyo, noma ukungcweliswa, yikho okusazoqedwa kofakazi abangu-144,000 XNUMX.
Emlonyeni wabo akufunyanwanga nkohliso, ngokuba bengenacala phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu. ( IsAmbulo 14:5 )
Ummangali kanye noMmangalelwa
Angaphezu kwelilodwa amacala ezinkantolo adlalwa ezinkantolo zasezulwini. Icala lokuqala elivame ukufika engqondweni yicala elihilela imiphefumulo yabantu ukuze kunqunywe (ukwahlulela) ukuthi kufanele yini inikezwe ukuphila ezulwini noma ibhujiswe phakade. Leli cala liphinde lihlukaniswe izigaba ezimbili, ukwahlulela kwabafileyo, nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo. Kungokwemvelo ngathi ukuthi sicabange ngalezi zahlulelo kuqala, ngoba ngokwemvelo sinobugovu futhi sinesithakazelo kumphumela KITHI. Kodwa kunenye indaba ebaluleke kakhulu okumelwe ixazululwe, futhi uma ingaxazululwa, izulu ngeke libe yizulu!
Ake sikhombe ukuthi obani ababambiqhaza ecaleni lasenkantolo elibaluleke kakhulu. Ngokusobala, uSathane ungummangaleli, noma ummangali. Umuntu angaqale acabange ukuthi abazalwane bangabamangalelwa, njengoba uSathane ungummangaleli wabazalwane, kodwa futhi lokho kuwukucabanga kobugovu futhi lesi sisho esilandelayo sibonisa ukuthi akanandaba nabazalwane ngaphandle kokuthi angabasebenzisa ukuze alimaze uKristu:
Ukumangalela kukaSathane kulabo abafuna iNkosi akubangelwa ukucasuka ezonweni zabo. Uyathokoza ngezinhlamvu zabo ezinesici; ngokuba uyazi ukuthi kungokweqa kwabo umthetho kaNkulunkulu kuphela lapho engathola khona amandla phezu kwabo. Amacala akhe avela kuphela ebutheni bakhe kuKristu. {Idatha ye-PK585.3}
Esigabeni esilandelayo sizabona ukuthi kungani uSathane emzonda kangaka uKhristu. Izinsolo zikaSathane zangempela azibhekiseli kubantu, kodwa kuNkulunkulu:
Ekuvuleni kwempikiswano enkulu, USathane wayememezele ukuthi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wawungeke ulalelwe, ukuthi ubulungisa abuhambisani nesihe, nokuthi, uma umthetho wephulwa, kwakungeke kwenzeke ukuba isoni sixolelwe.. Sonke isono kufanele sihlangabezane nesijeziso saso, wanxusa uSathane; futhi uma uNkulunkulu engase asuse isijeziso sesono, ubengeke abe uNkulunkulu weqiniso nobulungisa. Lapho abantu bephula umthetho kaNkulunkulu, futhi bedelela intando Yakhe, uSathane wajabula. Kwafakazelwa, wamemezela, ukuthi umthetho wawungeke ulalelwe; umuntu wayengathethelelwa. Ngenxa yokuthi yena, ngemva kokuhlubuka kwakhe, wayesexoshiwe ezulwini, uSathane wathi uhlanga lwesintu kumelwe luvalwe phakade emseni kaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu wayengenakulunga, wanxusa, kodwa nokho abonise umusa kusoni. {I-DA 761.4}
Ukuphikisana
Kula mazwi acashunwe ngenhla, siyabona ukuthi uSathane wathi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wawungenakulalelwa, ukuthi ubulungisa abuhambisani nesihe, nokuthi isono sasingenakuthethelelwa.
USathane wayehlakaniphe kakhulu lapho elubekela inselele uthando lukaNkulunkulu. Uma ufunda phakathi kwemigqa yecala lakhe, kusobala ukuthi wayengalindele ukuthi uNkulunkulu azithobe aze athathe isijeziso sesono, noma waziduduza ngomcabango wokuthi uma uNkulunkulu engenza kanjalo kwakuyosho ukuphela kukaNkulunkulu nokunqoba kwakhe. Empeleni, wayecabanga ukuhlehlisa uNkulunkulu ekhoneni lokubusa ngamandla, noma ukuzinikela. (Akumangalisi ukuthi uJuda Iskariyothe wawuthathaphi lo mbono.)
Ukuxolela, uthando oluhlengayo lubonakaliswa kuKristu Jesu. USathane wayesimelele kabi isimo sikaNkulunkulu, futhi kwakudingekile ukuba ukumelwa okufanele kwezwe elingawi, ezingelosini nakubantu. USathane wayememezele ukuthi uNkulunkulu akazi lutho ngokuzidela, umusa nothando, kodwa ukuthi wayelukhuni, ecindezela, futhi engathetheleli.. USathane akakaze aluvivinye uthando lukaNkulunkulu oluthethelelayo; ngoba akazange abonise ukuphenduka okuqotho. Ukumelela kwakhe uNkulunkulu kwakungalungile; wayengufakazi wamanga, ummangaleli kaKristu, futhi engummangaleli wabo bonke labo abalahla ijoka likaSathane, futhi babuye bazonikela ngokuzithandela ukwethembeka kuNkulunkulu osezulwini. {RH March 9, 1897, isig. 3}
Kafushane, izinsolo zikaSathane ngoNkulunkulu yilezi:
- Isimo sikaNkulunkulu akusona esothando oluziphikayo.
- Umthetho kaNkulunkulu awulungile futhi awunakulalelwa yizidalwa ezidaliwe.
Kungenxa yokuthi uKristu wabonisa ukuthi ukusho kwakhe kokuqala kungamanga, ukuthi uSathane umzonda kakhulu.
Ukuvikela
Ngokunikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa emhlabeni ukuba ikhokhe inhlawulo yesono, uNkulunkulu wafakazela isimilo sakhe sothando lokuzidela. Wathulula izulu ukuze ahlenge isintu, efaka konke engozini. Wasithanda mina nawe kangangokuthi wancamela ukuba nakho US ‘kunenyama negazi’ Lakhe uqobo. Umhlatshelo wawungekhona nje noma ikakhulukazi engxenyeni yeNdodana, kodwa wawungokaBaba ophakeme kakhulu. UJesu wayeyiWundlu likaYise elilalelayo alinikela njengomhlatshelo wezono zomhlaba.
Ngenkathi abapristi babekhonza ezinkonzweni zethempeli elidala, babebhekana nokubulawa kwabantu abangenacala nsuku zonke. Ngokuqinisekile kunoma yimuphi umuntu onegazi elifudumele, lokhu kwakufanele kube okuhlangenwe nakho okubuhlungu. Ngempela, inhloso yemihlatshelo kwakuwukunikeza isintu ubuhlungu obusenhliziyweni kaNkulunkulu njengoba ayebheke phambili ngosuku iNdodana Yakhe ethandekayo eyayizofela ngalo into eyayingayifanele.
Ngesikhathi esemhlabeni, uJesu wawugcina umthetho ngokuphelele. Wakwenza ngesikhathi ehlushwa imvelo yomuntu enesono, nokho wakwenza ngokuphelele futhi engenasono njengesibonelo sethu.
Ngoba lokho umthetho owawungekwenze, ngoba ubuthakathaka ngokwenyama, uNkulunkulu uthuma owakhe Indodana ngokufana ne inyama enesono, nangenxa yesono, walahla isono enyameni; (KwabaseRoma 8: 3)
Ngokuba asinaye umpristi omkhulu ongenakuzwelana nobuthakathaka bethu; kodwa walingwa kukho konke njengathi, kodwa engenasono. (Hebheru 4: 15)
Nokho, ukusola kukaSathane ngokuqondile ukuthi “izidalwa ezidaliwe” azikwazi ukulalela umthetho. Akuyona into kuNkulunkulu uBaba noma iNdodana Yakhe ukugcina wona kanye umthetho obhala isimilo sabo; abakwazanga ukwenza ngenye indlela. UJesu wayengenawo umkhuba wokona njengathi. Nakuba uJesu athatha isimo sobuntu esinesono, ubufakazi bokuphila Kwakhe bokuthi umthetho kaNkulunkulu ungagcinwa bungathathwa kalula njengendawo ekhethekile noma ubufakazi obanele uma buqhathaniswa nenani elikhulu labantu abake baphila.
Ingxenye yesu lensindiso engakaqedwa namanje iwukubonakaliswa okumangalisayo lokho Umthetho kaNkulunkulu ungagcinwa ngempela wadala izidalwa. Kuphela lapho lokho kungafakazelwa enkantolo yasezulwini lapho iNgqungquthela Enkulu ingaxazululeka.
OFakazi
Ubani okufanele afakazele ukuthi umthetho kaNkulunkulu ungagcinwa yizidalwa ezidaliwe?
Kulula ukuphendula ngomuntu wesithathu:
Nakhu ukubekezela kwabangcwele, nabagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nokukholwa nguJesu. ( IsAmbulo 14:12 )
Kunzima kakhulu ukusho ngo-Isaya:
Futhi ngezwa izwi leNkosi, lithi: Ngizothuma bani, futhi ubani ozosiyela? Ngase ngithi, Nangu mina; ngithumele. (U-Isaya 6: 8)
Ingabe mina, niyafuna ukugcina umthetho kaNkulunkulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwenzekani?
Kungani i-144,000 kuyibo kuphela abantu abangabonisa ukuthi umthetho kaNkulunkulu ungagcinwa ngempela izidalwa ezidaliwe? Izingelosi ezingawi ezulwini zigcina umthetho, kodwa zinengxenye ecaleni ngoba zazikhona lapho kuqala ukuhlubuka ezulwini. Ukuze kuqulwe icala elinobulungiswa, kudingeka ofakazi abangathathi hlangothi ecaleni. U-Adamu no-Eva badalwa ngemva kokuhlubuka kukaSathane, futhi abazange bathathe hlangothi ku-Great Controversy. Lapho bewa, isintu sachema noSathane, kwadingeka ukuba uJesu ahlenge isintu ukuze abuyisele amandla aso okunikeza ubufakazi obungachemile.
Abayi-144,000 bayabizwa phakathi kwesizukulwane sokugcina soMhlaba: abantu abonakele kakhulu abake baphila, nalabo abacindezelwa kanzima uSathane njengoba ephelelisa ukubusa kwakhe konya emhlabeni. Ubufakazi besizukulwane esibuthakathaka bokuthi umthetho kaNkulunkulu ungagcinwa buqinisa kakhulu ukuzivikela Kwakhe. Ngiyaphinda ngiyacela, ungathanda, mfundi othandekayo, nifakazele uNkulunkulu ngokuphila kwenu okungcwelisiwe, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kunezindleko ezingakanani?
Indawo Engcwele Yasemhlabeni
Ocwaningweni olunesihloko esithi Umkhumbi Wesikhathi sibona umbhalo wethu (ompofu) wokuthi siyigcine kahle kangakanani imiyalelo kaNkulunkulu futhi saba nokholo lukaJesu njengebandla elihlelekile. Ngamanye amazwi, sibona izono zethu uJesu azihlawulelayo endlini engcwele yasezulwini.
Ngosuku olukhulu lomklomelo wokugcina, abafileyo bayoba khona “wahlulelwa ngalokho okulotshwe ezincwadini, ngokwemisebenzi yabo. " IsAmbulo 20:12. Khona-ke ngegazi likaKristu elihlawulelayo, the izono kubo bonke abaphenduka ngeqiniso esuliwe ezincwadini yezulu. Ngaleyondlela indawo engcwele iyokhululwa, noma ihlanzwe, embhalweni wesono. Ngomfanekiso, lo msebenzi omkhulu wokubuyisana, noma wokwesulwa kwezono, wawumelelwe izinkonzo zoSuku Lokuhlawulelwa—ukuhlanzwa kwendlu engcwele yasemhlabeni, okwafezwa ngokususa, ngamandla egazi lomnikelo wesono, wezono owawungcoliswe ngazo. {PP357.6}
Ezikhathini zangaphambi kuka-1888 sasilalela njengebandla, kodwa ngemva kuka-1888 lapho senqaba ubuholi bukaKristu, imisebenzi yethu yafakazela ukuthi asithembekile (ngisho nasezintweni ezifanayo esake sathembeka kuzo). Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi kungokholo lukaJesu kuphela lapho singalalela khona umthetho; kungenzeka kuphela ukuba nokulunga ngokukholwa kuKristu.
Uma kwenzeka abantu bedinga ukukhanya okucacile nokwandisiwe okuvela ezulwini, ngabantu labo uNkulunkulu abenzele inqolobane yomthetho waKhe. Amadoda uNkulunkulu anikele kuwo izithembiso ezingcwele adinga ukukhuthazwa ngokomoya, aphakanyiswe, aqiniswe yiqiniso elingcwele athi ayalikholelwa. Lapho umlando wesizathu nomsebenzi wethu lembula ukuthi amadoda aye athatha izikhundla ezingcwele, ayengabafundisi beqiniso kwabanye, efunyenwe engathembekile futhi efulathela umyalo ongcwele zilethwe kubo, yeka ukucophelela okufanele kusiholele kukho! Yeka ukungazethembi! Yeka ukuthi kufanele kusiphuce kanjani ukwaneliseka nokuzidla ngokomoya! Yeka imibono yokuthobeka okufanele sibe nayo ngokuhlakanipha kwethu nokuntula kwethu! Kufanele silizwe kanjani iqiniso lokuthi sigcinwa ngamandla kaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa! {1888 261.3}
Siphinde sibone ku Umkhumbi Wesikhathi ukuthi njengoba sisondela eKhanani lasezulwini, sinesikhathi sokugcina sokukhanya, ukufanekisela endaweni yonke ukuthi uMthetho ungagcinwa ngempela yizidalwa ezidaliwe ngokholo lukaJesu. Isikhathi ngeke siqhubeke unomphela kuze kube yilapho sihlanganisa isenzo sethu, ngokuphambene nenkolelo evamile. Kunemikhawulo ebekiwe yokuthi inkantolo ingathatha isikhathi esingakanani ngaphambi kokukhipha isinqumo.
Ngasekupheleni komlando walomhlaba uSathane uyosebenza ngawo wonke amandla akhe ngendlela efanayo nangezilingo ezifanayo alinga ngazo uIsrayeli wasendulo ngaphambi nje kokuba angene ezweni lesethembiso. Uyobabekela izingibe labo abathi bagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, futhi abayigcinayo cishe emikhawulweni yaseKhanani lasezulwini. Uyosebenzisa amandla akhe ngokusemandleni akhe ukuze abambe imiphefumulo, futhi athathe labo abathi bangabantu bakaNkulunkulu babayise ezindaweni zabo ezibuthakathaka kakhulu. Labo abangazange bazithobe izinkanuko eziphansi ngaphansi kwamandla aphezulu obuntu babo, labo abavumele izingqondo zabo ukuba zigeleze emseleni wokuzitika kwenyama kwenkanuko engcolile, uSathane uzimisele ukubabhubhisa ngezilingo zakhe,—ukungcolisa imiphefumulo yabo ngokuziphatha okubi. Akagxili ikakhulukazi kumamaki aphansi nabalulekile, kodwa usebenzisa izingibe zakhe ngalabo angabafaka njengamanxusa akhe ukuze ayenge noma ahehe abantu ukuba bathathe inkululeko elahlwayo emthethweni kaNkulunkulu. Futhi amadoda ezikhundleni, efundisa lokho okushiwo umthetho kaNkulunkulu, omlomo wabo ugcwele izinkulumo ezilwela umthetho wakhe, uSathane enze ukugasela okungaka kukho, — phezu kwabanjalo ubeka amandla akhe esihogo kanye nezithunywa zakhe zisebenze, futhi abajikijele ezindaweni ezibuthakathaka ebuntwini babo, azi ukuthi okhubekisa ngephuzu elilodwa unecala kukho konke, ngaleyo ndlela ethola amandla aphelele phezu komuntu wonke. Ingqondo, umphefumulo, umzimba, nonembeza kuhileleke encithakalweni. Uma eyisithunywa sokulunga, futhi ebe nokukhanya okukhulu, noma uma iNkosi imsebenzisile njengesisebenzi sakhe esikhethekile emsebenzini weqiniso, khona-ke kukhulu kangakanani ukunqoba kukaSathane! Yeka indlela ajabula ngayo! Yeka ukuthi uNkulunkulu udunyazwa kanjani! {RH May 17, 1887, isig. 8}
Umlayezo womlando wethu ku Umkhumbi Wesikhathi kufanele kube yisixwayiso, nesiqondiso sokusibonisa ikakhulukazi ukuthi yimaphi amaphuzu okufanele siwaqaphele, amaphuzu okudingeka siwalungise kubalingiswa bethu ukuze sibe ofakazi abathembekile.
Ngokuba konke okuzelwe nguNkulunkulu kuyalinqoba izwe; ngisho nokukholwa kwethu. (I-1 John 5: 4)
Imiphumela Yokuhluleka
Uma bengenabo ofakazi abenele, ngenani noma ngekhwalithi, ukuzivikela kukaNkulunkulu ekuqulweni kwaKhe kwecala ngokumelene nezinsolo zikaSathane kungase kungabi yimpumelelo. Indima yethu ukuvikela umthetho ongapheli wezulu, omele isimilo sikaNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe, kanye nezimangaliso uNkulunkulu ubeke ubuyena kanye nomhlaba wonke ekuvikeleni kwethu. Lowo umsebenzi ongaphezu kwamandla omuntu nje, nokho lokho kuwubizo lwethu oluphezulu! UJesu wahola indlela ngokuphila Kwakhe, eza ngomfanekiso wenyama enesono, futhi esekudleni/okuhlangana njalo nobuNkulunkulu. Kufanele sifinyelele esibonelweni Sakhe ngazo zonke izindlela! Kuphela ngokukholwa Kuye, ngokufa kumina, ukumvumela ukuba aphile impilo Yakhe kithi, ngokuhlangana Naye, singaphumelela kulo msebenzi ongapheli. Kuphela nge UMoya oNgcwele (onamandla kunawo wonke amabutho ezulu) esebenza kithi singakwazi ukulinganisa umsebenzi.
Leli yiqiniso elingakaze lifundiswe ngokugcwele (ikakhulukazi ngokusemthethweni) yiBandla lethu lama-Adventist. Kulula ukukholwa ngokufunda izingcaphuno ezimbalwa zika-Ellen G. White ukuthi iMpikiswano Enkulu yaqedwa esiphambanweni nokuthi indawo yonke seyinqunyelwe uNkulunkulu kakade futhi ikhululiwe kunoma yimiphi eminye imiphumela esonweni futhi okuwukuphela kwento okufanele siyenze ukukhulula isixuku esikhulu sabantu ngokukhala okukhulu. Thina ma-Adventist sikhuluma kakhulu ngabayi-144,000, ukukhala okukhulu, isikhathi sosizi, isikhathi sokuhlupheka kukaJakobe, umthetho wangeSonto neSabatha, “nokulungisiswa ngokukholwa” (okubonakala kuyindikimba ebaluleke kakhulu kubafundi bezenkolo, abashumayeli nababhali). Kodwa kunini futhi kuphi lapho sikhuluma khona ngobizo lwethu oluphezulu nokuthi kufanele silandele isibonelo sikaJesu ukuze siqinisekise uBaba ukuze ekugcineni sivikele isu lensindiso yendawo yonke na?
Izingelosi kanye nezakhamuzi ezingcwele zeminye imihlaba buka ngokuthakasela okukhulu izehlakalo ezenzeka kulomhlaba. Manje njengoba ukuphela kwempikiswano enkulu phakathi kukaKristu noSathane kusondela, ibutho lasezulwini libona abantu benyathela phezu komthetho kaJehova, besenza ize isikhumbuzo sikaNkulunkulu,—isibonakaliso phakathi kwaKhe nabantu abagcina imiyalo yaKhe—bewubeka eceleni njengento eyize, into edelelekile, kuyilapho isabatha eliyimbangi liphakanyiswa. Babona abantu abathi bangamaKristu, bebiza izwe ukuba ligcine leli sabatha lomgunyathi abalenzile. {ST February 22, 1910, isig. 3}
Uke wakucabanga ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuthi sizokwenza izinto ezinkulu kunoJesu?
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Okholwa yimi, imisebenzi engiyenzayo mina naye uyakuyenza; futhi imisebenzi emikhulu kunalena uyakuyenza; ngoba mina ngiya kuBaba. (UJohn 14: 12)
UJesu akasikhulumeli thina ukuze siqhubeke siphila impilo yokwehluleka esonweni, kodwa ukuze sihlanzwe esonweni senze imisebenzi emikhulu kunaye ngisho naYe! Kodwa yonke le minyaka besingayiqondi futhi ibingangeni ezinhliziyweni zethu. Sasicabanga ukuthi kufanele nje silalele uNkulunkulu ukuze sibonise uthando lwethu Kuye nokuthi Wahlenga indawo yonke. Kodwa imvelo yokusola uSathane ayikuvumeli uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe ukuthi ahlenge izulu nomhlaba; kufanele kwenziwe izidalwa eziwele emhlabeni owanikezwa amandla kaSathane.
Isambulo saze sasitshela ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi kuyoba umsebenzi kabani ukuletha insindiso kuNkulunkulu:
Emva kwalokho ngabona, bheka, isixuku esikhulu, okungekho muntu ongabala, abavela kuzo zonke izizwe, nemindeni, nabantu, nezilimi, bemi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi naphambi kweWundlu; embethe izembatho ezimhlophe, namasundu ezandleni zabo; Futhi wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: Insindiso kuNkulunkulu wethu ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, nakulo iWundlu. (Isambulo 7: 9-10)
Lo mlayezo ngesenzo ISIKHALA ESIKHULU!
Ingabe Ikhona Izindlela Zokusebenza, Noma Ukuncishiswa Kwengozi?
Indawo yonke isibheke ngoba siyonquma ukuthi ukubusa kukaSathane kuzowa yini, noma kuyofinyelela ezindaweni ezikude zendawo yonke, kufake ubuthi emhlabeni wonke ngokonakala kwesono kuze kube sekubhujisweni okuphelele. UNkulunkulu wadala indawo yonke egcwele izidalwa ezihlakaniphile ezingasebenzisa inkululeko yazo yokuzikhethela ukuze zimthande futhi zibonise uthando lwaKhe, kodwa kuthiwani uma lezo zidalwa ekugcineni zonke zinquma ukuzihlukanisa no-The Life futhi esikhundleni salokho zikhethe ukufa?
Uma lokho kwakungenzeka, uNkulunkulu wayezoma lapho ayemi khona ekuqaleni, ngaphambi kokudalwa kwesidalwa sokuqala esihlakaniphile esinenkululeko yokuzikhethela. Uthando Lwakhe lwalungaqondiswa kuphela koyedwa kuBantu abathathu bobuNkulunkulu. Kodwa AGAPE uthando luqondiswe kwabanye, hhayi nje uthando phakathi koBuntu bukaNkulunkulu. uNkulunkulu IS uthando. Angeke abe ngenye indlela! Akakwazi ukucisha uthando lwaKhe. Ufanele abe nguMdali, ngoba Ufanele Nika Uthando lwakhe kwabanye, ngoba lena IMVELO yothando lwe-AGAPE.
Futhi uma kungekho muntu onganikeza lolu thando ngoba izidalwa zendawo yonke zanquma ukulandela unkulunkulu wabafileyo, ngakho-ke azisekho?
UNkulunkulu uzoba namathuba amane:
Dala kabusha indawo yonke wazi ukuthi umbuthano ofanayo obulalayo wenkululeko yokuzikhethela futhi wenqaba uthando lwe-agape ekugcineni uzobhubhisa indawo yonke yesibili, nowesithathu, njll., NOMA
Yenqaba ukudala izidalwa futhi uphile ingunaphakade kuBantu abathathu ngaphandle kokunikeza uthando Lwakhe kwabanye, NOMA
Dala indawo yonke egcwele amarobhothi ngaphandle kokuzikhethela, NOMA
Yenza kabusha lokho uJesu akufakazela ukuthi ngisho nelunga lobuNkulunkulu lingakwenza:
Ngakho uBaba uyangithanda; ngoba mina ngidela ukuphila kwami, ukuze ngibuye ngisithathe. ( Johane 10:17 )
Wonke umuntu wobuNkulunkulu unamandla okwenza ADLA PHANSI IMPILO YAKHE. UJesu wayengakwenza, kanjalo noNkulunkulu uBaba, noMoya oNgcwele. Naye unamandla okungabe esakuthatha futhi, ngoba lokhu kungaba Ukuzikhethela KWAKHE. Yimaphi kulawo mathuba ongayikhetha uma ubona ukuthi zonke izinhlobo zezidalwa ezinenkululeko yokuzikhethela ozidalile futhi ongazidala esikhathini esizayo ezingagcina zinqume ukuthi UNGAKUTHANDI? Uke wayizwa intshumayelo ngale miphumela? Ingabe wake waqonda ukuthi ngisho inhlalakahle kaNkulunkulu siqu kanye nokuba khona Kwakhe kusengozini eNkatheni Enkulu?
Isibindi sokubhekana nalemibuzo siwuhlobo lwesibindi abangu-144,000 XNUMX okudingeka babe naso ukuze balwele uBaba ovivinyweni lwaKhe olukhulu phambi kwendawo yonke.
UNKULUNKULU ULUTHANDO, KODWA UTHANDO ALUKHO UMA lunganikelwa.
Ngendlela efanayo njengoba isintu besiyozibulala ukuze sinqume ukungamthandi uNkulunkulu, isintu sasingeke nje sibhubhise indawo yonke kodwa sona kanye isizathu sokuba khona kukaNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe. Uthando luyophela, ngoba lungaba khona kuphela ekunikezweni.
ISithasiselo A: Isono Ngeke Sivuke Okwesibili
Ngemva kokuba ofakazi befakaza bevikela uNkulunkulu uBaba phakathi naleminyaka yokugcina yomlando womhlaba, yini eyoqinisekisa ukuthi isono asiveli okwesibili? Ithebula elilandelayo liqhathanisa okuhlangenwe nakho kwabangu-144,000 XNUMX nokuhlangenwe nakho kwabanye, mayelana nenkinga yesono.
Alikho elinye iqembu labantu eliye labhekana nokunqotshwa kwesono ngobuningi esikhathini sokuphila kwabo okumelwe bakuthole ngabangu-144,000. Kube khona izibonelo ezimbalwa ezingazodwa, ezinjengo-Enoke, uDaniyeli, uJobe, njll., kodwa khumbula ukuthi inkantolo idinga ubufakazi obanele, hhayi idlanzana elihlakazekile ‘lamacala akhethekile’ angachazeki. Ngisho noJesu uqobo lwakhe akazange akubone ukunqotshwa kwesono, ngoba wayengenasono. Futhi, kuzwakala kuyiqiniso ukuthi “imisebenzi emikhulu kunale uyoyenza.” ( Johane 14:12 )
Isixuku esimbethe ezimhlophe sibuye sichazwe kanje:
Ngakho-ke baphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu, futhi bamkhonza imini nobusuku ethempelini lakhe, futhi lowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi uyohlala phakathi kwabo. ( IsAmbulo 7:15 )
Leli vesi libachaza njengabakhonza uNkulunkulu ngokuqhubekayo. Lab’ ofakazi bazosebenza njengamanxusa kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke ukuze “ahlave” indalo kuze kube phakade ngokumelene “negciwane” lesono. Banazo ngokwabo isono esaziwayo, isono esinolwazi, wamelana nesono, futhi wasinqoba isono, futhi ubufakazi babo obungapheli buyosebenza vimbela isono kusukela ekuvukeni okwesibili!
Isithasiselo B: Ukukhanya Ebusweni Bethu
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, mina (Robert) ngangidlula engxenyeni enzima yohambo lwami njengomKristu wama-Adventist. Okwakukhathaza inhliziyo yami kwakuwumbuzo othi kungani abangu-144,000 kumelwe bahlupheke futhi bakhuthazelele izilingo okumelwe babhekane nazo, futhi ngokuvamile kungani leli zwe elidala lisekhona. Usuku nosuku, lo mbuzo wawusengqondweni yami lapho ngiqhubeka nemisebenzi yami yokuphila. Kungani kufanele babhekane nesigwebo sentambo? Kungani kumelwe bakhuthazelele izinhlupho, nokuhlukunyezwa kwezwe elibi?
Ngalesi sikhathi empilweni yami, ngangisendleleni eya phezulu eqondile nencane kodwa ngangisanda kuqala ukuphuma efini elinzima lokudideka engangiwele kulo. Ngangifuna iQiniso ngobuqotho, kodwa ngangisezinhlungwini ezingapheli futhi ezijulile enhliziyweni usuku nosuku njengoba isinyathelo ngasinye endleleni eya phezulu sasiletha ukuqaphela ukuthi ngase ngiwele kangakanani. Angizange ngizizwe sengathi ngingasindiswa, ingasaphathwa eyokuba phakathi kwabangu-144,000, kodwa ngaqhubeka ngifuna futhi “ngibheka phezulu” noma kunjalo.
Kwakungalesi sikhathi kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami lapho kwafika kimi njengesambulo. Ngaqala ukutadisha nokubhala ngakho, futhi lapho ekugcineni ngibuqonda ubukhulu obugcwele balokho uBaba wethu osezulwini ahlupheka ngakho eMpikiswaneni Enkulu, nokuthi uMuntu Wakhe kanye nomhlaba wonke waKhe amthandayo ogcwele izidalwa ulenga kanjani esilinganisweni, kwaphula inhliziyo yami! Ngangazi ngaso leso sikhathi ukuthi ngangikutholile engangikufuna ngaso sonke isikhathi: Ngayithola injongo yokuphila kwami. Ngathola uthando ngoNkulunkulu lukhula enhliziyweni yami engangingakaze ngilwazi ngaphambili. Nganquma khona lapho ukuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwenzekani kimi, ngizosebenzisa wonke umoya kimina ukuze ngisebenzele injongo Yakhe. Ngenza leso sinqumo ngesikhathi engangingazi nokuthi ngizosindiswa yini, futhi ngokungananazi kwakungabalulekile uma kuqhathaniswa.
Iminyaka yahamba kwaze kwaba muva nje leli qiniso, lehla ngomlando webandla, lalethwa ekunakekeleni kweqembu lethu lokufunda ngencazelo enkulu nakakhulu. Njengoba sifunda isifundo ndawonye, ubuso bethu ngabanye baqala ukukhazimula njengoMose lapho ehla entabeni yaseSinayi. Ngokukhanya okwengeziwe okwambulwa kanye nomongo wezikhathi eziboniswe kuyi-Orion ne-HSL, ngaphinda ngasiqinisekisa isinqumo sami sokuzinikela “konke enginakho” ukuze ngivikele uBaba wethu waseZulwini, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yimiphi imiphumela kimi mathupha.
Isizathu Sokuba Ubuso BukaMose Bukhanye
Kwathi uMose esehla entabeni yaseSinayi kanye neNkosi amatafula amabili obufakazi esandleni sikaMose esehla entabeni, uMose wayengakwazi lokho isikhumba sobuso bakhe kukhanye esakhuluma laye. ( Eksodusi 34:29 )
Lezi kwakuyizibhebhe zesibili zamatshe uMose ayenazo. Kafushane, izibhebhe zokuqala zamatshe ezanikezwa uNkulunkulu zimelela uJesu, owavela eZulwini, futhi wayenoMthetho obhalwe enhliziyweni Yakhe.
Izibhebhe zazingumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, nombhalo wawungumbhalo kaNkulunkulu, uqoshwe ezibhebheni. ( Eksodusi 32:16 )
Amatafula okuqala aphulwa ngenxa yesono sika-Israyeli, njengoba uJesu wahlephula ngenxa yethu. Ngokuphambene, izibhebhe zamatshe zesibili “zaziqoshwa”:
UJehova wathi kuMose: “Zibazele izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezokuqala, ngilobe kuzo amazwi ayesezibhebheni zokuqala owazaphula. ( Eksodusi 34:1 )
Ukuthi amatafula “aqoshwa” uMose kubonisa ukuthi awasameli uJesu owavela eZulwini kodwa amadoda nabesifazane abawile njengami nawe abanhliziyo “eqoshwe” kulungiselelwa uMthetho (uphawu lukaNkulunkulu) oluzolotshwa lapho. Ofakazi abangu-144,000 XNUMX bamelwe yila matafula.
Okuthile okukhethekile kwenzeka lapho uMose ekhuphuka eSinayi nezibhebhe zesibili ezabangela ukuba ubuso Bakhe bukhanye ngesikhathi ebuya phansi. Singawafunda amavesi aku-Eksodusi 34:10-26 . Kula mavesi uNkulunkulu Uchaza iMithetho Eyishumi kuMose ngendlela engokoqobo angayiqonda. Ukhombisa uMose ukuthi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bazowufeza kanjani umthetho ngokusebenza, ngalokho bethola isimo sikaNkulunkulu kubo futhi bemqinisekisa phambi kwezizwe zabahedeni. UMose uyaqaphela ingxenye yakhe ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu, eyakhe ukubiza okuphezulu ukulungiselela abantu ukuba bafakaze ngoNkulunkulu, futhi ubuso bakhe buyakhazimula ngenxa yalokho!
Ubuso obukhazimulayo buye baba okuhlangenwe nakho kwethu, njengoba siye safunda isihloko salesi sihloko. Ngikholwa ukuthi sibona ukugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho:
Lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma isikhathi, Wathela phezu kwethu uMoya oNgcwele, futhi ubuso bethu baqala ukukhanya nokukhanya ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, njengoba kwenza uMose lapho ehla entabeni yaseSinayi. {I-EW 14.1}
Isithasiselo C: UbuNkulunkulu
Qaphela: kulesi sithasiselo sizoqikelela kakhulu ukusebenzisa amagama oBuNkulunkulu ngokunembe kakhulu ngokwemifanekiso enikeziwe.
UJesu uqobo wakhuluma la mazwi abaluleke kakhulu:
UJesu wathi kuye. Nginguye ukuvuka, futhi impilo: okholwa yimi, noma efile, wophila: (Johane 11:25)
Futhi:
Ngokuba njengalokhu uBaba enokuphila ngokwakhe; kanjalo uyiphile neNdodana ibe nokuphila kuyo; ( Johane 5:26 )
Kunezindlela ezimbili ezaziwayo ukuthi ukuphila kuphindaphindeka. Ngokuvamile sicabanga ngokuphindaphindeka kocansi, lapho i-DNA yowesilisa nowesifazane abalingani IMIHLANGANO futhi kwakhiwa isethi entsha neyingqayizivele yezakhi zofuzo. Umuntu noma umuntu ovelayo AKAFANI ncamashi nokukodwa kokubili kwasekuqaleni. Ihlukile nakanjani esisekelweni sayo sofuzo. "Uhlamvu" lomuntu ngamunye lwakhiwa ama-30% ngezakhi zawo zofuzo. Ngakho-ke, ngisho nesimilo somuntu asifani neze nomunye wabazali bakhe.
Uhlobo lwesibili lokuzalana kokuphila lubaluleke nakakhulu futhi lusakazeke kakhulu. Iwukuzala okungekona okocansi noma “ukuhlukaniswa kwamaseli” noma i-cytokinesis. Ngisho nasemzimbeni wethu, wonke amangqamuzana azalana kanye nalo mgomo njengoba nje izinto eziphilayo ezilula zizalana. Zonke izinhlobo eziphilayo "eziphakeme" ezikhiqiza kabusha ngokocansi zisekelwe kumaseli akhiqiza ngaphandle kokuya ocansini ngokuhlukaniswa kwamaseli okulula. Ngisho nezitshalo zisekelwe kulesi simiso. Izinto eziphilayo eziningi kakhulu (ngezinhlobonhlobo nangobuningi) njenge-plankton namagciwane nazo zisekelwe kulo mgomo.
Uma iseli lihlukana, umuntu owumphumela akahlukaniseki ngokofuzo. I-DNA iphindaphindwa ngo-1:1 futhi iseli liyahlukana. Akukho ngisho nenye into ehilelekile. Yonke ingqikithi yengqamuzana “lesibili” ivela engqamuzaneni lokuqala!
Manje, sicela uqonde: lapho iseli lihlukana, AKE USHO ukuthi iyiphi iseli yokuqala noma iseli lengane! Womabili amaseli ayekhona ngaphambi kokuhlukana; babevele “ndawonye”. Zinento efanayo kanye nekhodi yofuzo efanayo. AYIKHO nhlobo INDLELA yokuhlukanisa amaseli amabili. Kuzodingeka uwaphawule ukuze uwahlukanise. Uma ubona ingqamuzana elilodwa ubuyobona elinye, ngoba lilingana ngokuphelele!
Cishe usuqagele ukuthi sizama ukuthini.
Kuthiwani uma uNkulunkulu ehlukanisa kanye futhi lokhu kungumphumela weNdodana? Lokhu kuzokucacisa kahle lokho uJesu ayefuna ukukuchaza kuJohane 1:
Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, uLizwi wayekhona noNkulunkulu, neZwi kwakunguNkulunkulu. Kwakunjalo ekuqaleni noNkulunkulu. (UJohn 1: 1-2)
Umbuzo othi LAPHO uNkulunkulu ehlukanisa okokuqala, uphendulwa ngokuqondile evesini elilandelayo:
Zonke izinto zenziwa nguye; ngaphandle kwakhe akubangakho lutho olwenziwe. ( Johane 1:3 )
Lokhu kwehlukana kumelwe ukuba kwenzeka ngaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu adale indawo yonke, amazulu, nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo. Yileyo ndlela ZONKE IZINTO zenziwa ngayo iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
UNkulunkulu wasekuqaleni wahlukanisa ngaphambi kokudala waba nguYise neNdodana. UBaba akaphindanga wahlukana kusukela lapho. Ngakho-ke, uJohane usho kahle ngoNkulunkulu:
Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. ( Johane 3:16 )
Futhi uJesu usho ngokucacile:
Mina noBaba simunye. ( Johane 10:30 )
Ngokucabanga ngenqubo yokuhlukaniswa kwamaseli, zonke lezi zitatimende ziba sobala kithi. Futhi zikhanya ngokukhanya okukhulu njengoba uzobona.
UMoya oNgcwele
Kungani ungekho uMoya oNgcwele eTestamenteni Elidala? Lo mbuzo wavula umnyango wezingxoxo eziningi, futhi yonke imitapo yolwazi isibhalwe ngawo. Le ndaba yaletha incithakalo ubuKristu. Ubuntu bukaMoya oNgcwele yindaba esematheni namuhla, futhi imibono ngale ndaba isize yaba umugqa wokuhlukanisa phakathi kwamaqembu ahlukene alabo abathi bangamaKristu.
Kunezindawo ezimbalwa nje lapho igama elithi “umoya ongcwele” livela khona eTestamenteni Elidala, futhi lihlala lihlotshaniswa noMuntu kaNkulunkulu, hhayi njengoMuntu ozimele (AmaHubo 51:11, Isaya 63:10-11, Daniyeli 4:8-9,18, 5:11). “UMoya kaNkulunkulu” kukhulunywa ngaye izikhathi ezimbalwa eTestamenteni Elidala, okokuqala ngesikhathi sokulandisa kwendalo:
Umhlaba wawuyize, ungenalutho; nobumnyama babuphezu kotwa. Futhi i Umoya kaNkulunkulu wahamba phezu kobuso bamanzi. ( Genesise 1:2 )
Kodwa uNkulunkulu unguMoya:
UNkulunkulu unguMoya: abakhuleka kuye bafanele ukukhuleka ngomoya nangeqiniso. ( Johane 4:24 )
Lapho uNkulunkulu ehlukanisa uYise neNdodana ngaphambi kokudalwa, bobabili “babenguMoya” ngisho benguMoya OFANA. Ngakho, lapho uGenesise 1:2 ekhuluma ngoMdali “uMoya” ukhuluma ngeNdodana “uMoya” hhayi “ngoMoya oNgcwele” njengoMuntu wesithathu wobuNkulunkulu.
UDade White wenza isitatimende esilandelayo esinikeza ithuba kwabaningi abaphikisana noZiqu-zintathu phakathi kwethu, kodwa sizobaphikisa ngezimpikiswano ezimbalwa nje.
Exakwe yisintu, uKristu wayengeke abe kuyo yonke indawo mathupha; ngakho-ke kwakungokwenzuzo yabo ngokuphelele ukuthi Abashiye, aye kuyise, futhi athumele uMoya oNgcwele ukuba abe yindlalifa Yakhe emhlabeni. UMoya oNgcwele ngokwawo uhlukanisiwe nobuntu bobuntu futhi akazimele kubo. Wayezozibonakalisa ekhona kuzo zonke izindawo ngoMoya Wakhe oNgcwele, njengoKuyo yonke indawo. “Kepha uMduduzi, uMoya oNgcwele, lowo uBaba ayakumthumela egameni Lami, yena (nakuba ningabonakali), [lesi sisho senezelwa ngu-Ellen G. White.] anifundise zonke izinto, anikhumbuze konke engikushilo kini” [ Johane 14:26 ]. “Nokho nginitshela iqiniso; Kunilungele ukuba ngimuke, ngokuba uma ngingamuki, uMduduzi kayikuza kini; kepha uma ngimuka, ngiyakumthumela kini” [Johane 16:7]. {14MR 23.3}
UMoya oNgcwele ungaba kanjani uJesu UQOBO? Abamelene noZiqu-zintathu bachaza ngokushesha: “Ha, manje niyabona ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele ungamandla nje!” Sebekhohliwe kakade ukuthi uNkulunkulu uhlukanisa kanjani futhi abazange baqaphele ukuthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu, iBhayibheli Elingcwele, lisitshela ngisho naso kanye isikhathi lapho iNdodana iphinda ihlukana khona:
Ingelosi yaphendula, yathi kuye: “UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, namandla oPhezukonke akusibekele; ( Luka 1:35 )
Ngempela, iNdodana yahlukana yaba “uJesu” kanye “noMoya oNgcwele” ngaso leso sikhathi lapho iNdodana isibekele uMariya. Yebo ungashintsha amagama ngokushintshana ngoba bonke abantu boBunkulunkulu bakhiwe ngento eyodwa futhi banezakhi zofuzo ezifanayo! INdodana yayinguMoya oNgcwele kanye noJesu ngesikhathi esifanayo!
Kudinga ukuhlakanipha ukuqonda lokhu. Manje isitatimende sika-Ellen G. White siba sobala ngokuphelele kithi:
Exakwe yisintu, uKristu wayengeke abe kuyo yonke indawo mathupha; ngakho-ke kwakungokwenzuzo yabo ngokuphelele ukuthi Abashiye, aye kuyise, futhi athumele uMoya oNgcwele ukuba abe yindlalifa Yakhe emhlabeni. UMoya oNgcwele ngokwawo uhlukanisiwe nobuntu bobuntu futhi akazimele kubo. {14MR 23.3}
UJesu nje wamukela phakade umzimba womuntu! Kodwa uMoya oNgcwele uyiNdodana efanayo nakudala. UJesu noMoya oNgcwele bobabili banguMdali!
Konke lokhu okunzima ukukuqonda kanye nokuphikisana okusobala kweBhayibheli kuxazululwa manje ngendlela evumelanayo! Besiyizimpumputhe kakhulu ukubona ukuthi bekuyiqiniso futhi kubalulekile lokho uDade White asitshela khona:
Incwadi yemvelo, eyasakaza izifundo zayo eziphilayo phambi kwabo, yanikeza umthombo ongapheli wemfundo nenjabulo. Kuwo wonke amaqabunga ehlathi namatshe ezintaba, nakuyo yonke inkanyezi ekhanyayo, emhlabeni, nolwandle, nesibhakabhaka, igama likaNkulunkulu lalilotshiwe. Kanye nakho kokubili indalo ephilayo nengaphili—enamaqabunga nembali nesihlahla, kanye nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo, kusukela kuLeviyathani osemanzini kuze kufike onqenqemeni lwelanga—abakhileyo e-Edene baxoxa, bebuthana komunye nomunye. izimfihlo zokuphila kwayo. Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu yasezulwini, imihlaba engenakubalwa ekujikeleni kwayo okuhlelekile, “ukulinganisa kwamafu” ( Jobe 37:16 ), izimfihlakalo zokukhanya nomsindo, zemini nobusuku—konke kwakuyizinto abafundi besikole sokuqala emhlabeni. {Edi 21.3}

Uhlu LweSabatha Eliphakeme lukhombisa ukuthi UMoya oNgcwele ubehlanza isonto ngezinyathelo eziyisikhombisa. Futhi itimu enkulu mayelana neTheology Yesizukulwane Sokugcina yembula izimfihlakalo ze BabaUvivinyo olukhulu okufanele alungisiswe ngalo.
UKristu Uhlala Kithi
UJesu wasichazela ukuthi kwakufanele afe ukuze samukele uMoya oNgcwele:
Nokho nginitshela iqiniso; Kuyasizangenxa yenu ukuthi ngihambe: ngokuba uma ngingamuki, uMduduzi akayikuza kuwe; kodwa uma ngimuka, ngiyakumthumela kini. (UJohn 16: 7)
Lapho uJesu eba umuntu, wadela ubuNkulunkulu bakhe unomphela (njengoba sichazile ngokuningiliziwe esigabeni “Esiphambanweni”). Lesosimo sobuNkulunkulu (indawo yonke) Asibeka eceleni kwakungesona esinye ngaphandle kukaMoya oNgcwele. INdodana ekubeni uJesu yabeka eceleni uMoya oNgcwele.
UJesu, ehlupheka futhi efa, wezwa wonke amazwi njengoba abapristi babememezela, “Wasindisa abanye; Yena uqobo Angeke azisindise. UKristu, iNkosi yakwa-Israyeli, makehle manje esiphambanweni, ukuze sibone, sikholwe. UKristu ngabe wehla esiphambanweni. Kodwa kungenxa yokuthi ubengeke azisindise, okwenza isoni sibe nethemba lokuxolelwa nomusa kuNkulunkulu. {I-DA 749.1}
UJesu wathatha ubuntu lapho ethatha isimo somuntu, kodwa ngokuphila Kwakhe walondoloza ukuhlanganyela nobunkulunkulu. Izikhathi eziningi, uMoya oNgcwele wembula izinto kuYe abengeke azazi esesimweni somuntu. Kunoma isiphi isikhathi kuze kube sekufeni Kwakhe uJesu wayengawushintsha umqondo Wakhe futhi abuyele ezulwini, aphinde avuse uMoya Oyingcwele futhi ahlale eyiNdodana esesimweni Sakhe esikuyo yonke indawo. Kodwa lapho Efa, Wavala isinqumo Sakhe sokuthatha isimo somuntu futhi wehlukaniswa nemvelo yobunkulunkulu.
INdodana yahlukaniselwa thina, futhi ukufa kukaJesu (ukwehlukana kokugcina) kwakuwubufakazi besivumelwano:
Wathi kuye: "Ngithathele ithokazi elineminyaka emithathu, nembuzikazi eneminyaka emithathu, nenqama eneminyaka emithathu, nehobhe, nephuphu lejuba." Wamthathela zonke lezi, futhi abahlukanise phakathi, wabeka ucezu ngalunye ngokumelene nolunye: kodwa izinyoni akazehlukanisanga….Kwathi, lapho ilanga selishonile, futhi kuba mnyama, bheka isithando somlilo esishunqayo nesibani esivuthayo sidlula. phakathi kwalezo zicucu. Ngalolo suku uJehova wenza isivumelwano no-Abrama, ethi, Ngiyinikile inzalo yakho leli zwe, kusukela emfuleni waseGibithe kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula u-Ewufrathe: ( Genesise 15:9-10,17, 18-XNUMX )
Khumbulani ukuthi uJesu wathini, ukuthi Wayefanele afe ukuze athumele uMduduzi kithi. UJesu kwadingeka ukuba ahlukaniswe noMoya oNgcwele ukuze akwazi ukuthumela uMoya oNgcwele kithi! Ukufa kwakhe kwenza isivumelwano sasebenza, njengoba nje isibani esivuthayo sadlula phakathi kweziqephu zomhlatshelo owawuhlukaniselwe ukuqinisa isivumelwano no-Abrama.
(Kunesihloko esihle kakhulu mayelana nenqubo yokwehlukana uJesu adlula kuyo esiphambanweni Ukufundisa Izinhliziyo)
Manje sesiyaqonda ukuthi uKristu (iNdodana) uhlala kanjani kithi! KungoMoya oNgcwele okhona yonke indawo, okuyiNdodana uqobo Lwakhe eyahlukaniswa nesintu, futhi ongahlala kithi lapho sesilungise inhliziyo yethu ngokuyihlanza kuso sonke isono:
Ngokuba uNkulunkulu owathi ukukhanya kukhanye ebumnyameni, nguye owakhanyisa ezinhliziyweni zethu, ukuze kukhanye ulwazi lwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ebusweni bukaJesu Kristu. Kodwa sinalokhu umcebo ezitsheni zebumba, ukuze ubukhulu bamandla obumangalisayo bube obukaNkulunkulu, bungabi buvela kithi. ( 2 Korinte 4:7 )
IBhayibheli futhi lisitshela ukuthi ukwamukela kwethu uMoya oNgcwele yikho okusibeka uphawu, futhi kufakazela kithi ukuthi ifa lethu liqinisekile:
ukuze sibe yinkazimulo yenkazimulo yakhe, thina esathemba kuqala kuKristu. enamethembayo nani, senizwile izwi leqiniso, ivangeli lokusindiswa kwenu; nabekwa uphawu ngalowoMoya oNgcwele wesithembiso, oyisibambiso sefa lethu kuze kufike ukukhululwa kwempahla yakhe, kube ludumo lwenkazimulo yakhe. ( Efesu 1:12-14 )
