Ukuphela kweBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist

Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoLwesihlanu, Okthoba 12, 2012, 10:17 am ngesiJalimane ngo www.letztercountdown.org

Saphakamisa amakhanda ethu sabheka i-Orion. Kusukela lapho, sezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu likhuluma indaba yabantu Bakhe besikhathi sokuphela. Lapho kamuva sifunda ngamaholide amaJuda futhi sabona ukubaluleka “kwamaSabatha Aphakeme” (okuyilapho iSabatha eliwumkhosi liba ngosuku lweSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa), sanikezwa ukuqonda okujulile okuvela ezigabeni ezibalulekile endleleni yeBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist. UNkulunkulu ukhomba futhi akhanyise umsebenzi waleli bandla eliyingqayizivele ezincwadini ezimbili ezinkulu ezishiwo eBhayibhelini: Incwadi YeziMpawu Eziyisikhombisa Orion neNcwadi yeMidumo eyisiKhombisa, manje esiyibiza ngokuthi yi Umkhumbi Wesikhathi, ebhalwe ngokuqhubekayo yilanga nenyanga.

IBandla le-SDA lizibona njengokugcwaliseka okungokwesiprofetho kowesifazane wesAmbulo 12:1

Kwabonakala isimangaliso esikhulu ezulwini; owesifazane embethe ilanga, nenyanga iphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, nasekhanda lakhe kukhona umqhele wezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili: ( IsAmbulo 12:1 )

Ukuhlolisisa uphawu kulesi sithombe kunikeza imiphumela emangalisayo.

1. Sizothola icebo elembulwa kancane kancane emfanekisweni wesifazane okusAmbulo 12:1, elidlulela osukwini lwanamuhla nangale kwalokho. Uphawu ngalunye lumelela inkathi entsha ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu lwensindiso.

2. Noma nini lapho kufika isikhathi sokuthi uguquko lwenzeke enkathini entsha yesu lensindiso, lwalubakhona ukulungiselela nokuqoqa “umprofethi.” Lo mqondo waphezulu ukhombisa umusa kaNkulunkulu ongapheli, ngoba uhlala enikeza izexwayiso ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba enze. Impela iNkosi uJehova izokwenza lutho, kodwa uyembula imfihlo yakhe ezincekwini zakhe abaprofethi. ( Amose 3:7 )

3. UNkulunkulu ubeka phambi kwabantu baKhe umnyango ovulekile onokukhanya okusha kanye neqiniso elisha lamanje ekushintsheni ngakunye kuya esigabeni esilandelayo sesu lensindiso. Nokho, ngemva kwephuzu elithile, uyaqala ukuvala “umnyango womusa” wabangathembekile abangakulandeli ukukhanya okusha. Abangathembekile ingxenye enkulu, ababoni ukuvalwa komnyango futhi bakholelwa ukuthi basesendleleni efanele.

4. Kulolo nalolo shintsho oluya esigabeni esilandelayo sohlelo lwensindiso, kukhona “Insali”. Ngaso sonke isikhathi, kwakukhona a ukuhlungwa kwabangathembekile nokuhlanzwa nokuvivinywa kwabathembekile. Udrako wamthukuthelela owesifazane, wahamba wayokulwa naye insali yenzalo yakhe, abagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, futhi abanobufakazi ngoJesu Kristu. ( IsAmbulo 12:17 )

Inyanga ngaphansi kwezinyawo zowesifazane

Isizwe samaJuda simelelwa yinyanga engaphansi kwezinyawo zowesifazane. Lifanekisela izinkonzo zethunzi abantu bakuqala bakaNkulunkulu ababehlukaniswa ngazo. Njengoba inyanga ibonisa ukukhanya kwelanga kuphela, inkonzo yethunzi yemikhosi yayiyisiprofetho sikaMesiya ozayo. Ngemikhosi yawo, ukuphila kwawo kokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu kanye nezibusiso ezicebile ezaziyoba umphumela, amaIsrayeli kwakufanele ahlabe umxhwele abantu ababewazungezile futhi kanjalo alungise izinhliziyo zawo ukuze zilungele isigijimi soMsindisi ozayo. Kodwa iningi lama-Israyeli lahluleka futhi ukungathembeki kwalo kuNkulunkulu kwakhula.

Njengoba sase sifikile isikhathi sokuba uMesiya abonakale, uNkulunkulu wakumemezela ngokucacile kumaJuda futhi ngoEliya wesibili, uJohane uMbhapathizi, owayezovula indlela yenkonzo ekhazimulayo yeNdodana kaNkulunkulu uqobo. UJesu ngokwakhe wathatha indima ‘yomprofethi’ oqoqayo futhi washumayela iminyaka emithathu nengxenye phakathi kwabantu baKhe ukuthi umbuso wezulu ususondele nokuthi ngokushesha inkonzo yakhe yokunxusa yayizoqala endaweni engcwele yasezulwini. Ngakho, Wayeyisibusiso kodwa futhi waba yisikhubekiso kwabaningi. Bambalwa abaqaphela ukuthi umnyango ovulekile wawuvuliwe phambi kwabo ovela egcekeni ungena endaweni eNgcwele yendlu engcwele yasezulwini. Lapho uJohane uMbhapathizi eqala ukushumayela, wamemezela ukuvulwa komnyango kwabathembekile, futhi wonke umuntu owayebona futhi owayelalela uJesu, wavuleka kakhulu futhi bangena ngawo.

Khona-ke isizwe samaJuda sabiza uNkulunkulu ukuba igazi likaJesu lehlele phezu kwabo nakubantwana baso, futhi uNkulunkulu wabanika isifiso sabo. Bavala isiphetho sabo ngokubulala iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, eyabashumayeza ngeNdawo Engcwele yasezulwini ethempelini labo lasemhlabeni, base bekhetha uBaraba esikhundleni saKhe. Umnyango ovulekile owawubekwe phambi kwabo “njengomnyango womusa” wesizwe samaJuda waqala ukuvaleka, nokho iNkosi yaseZulwini yabanika eminye iminyaka emithathu nengxenye ngemva kukaMeyi 25, AD 31 ngaphambi kokuba ilususe uthi lwezibani kubantu baYo, ibenze babe ngabantu bakaNkulunkulu bangaphambili.

Kungani uNkulunkulu alinda eminye iminyaka emithathu nengxenye? Kuyini okungaba kubi ukwedlula ukubethela iNdodana kaNkulunkulu? UStefanu wabona izulu livuleka, neNkosi imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, kodwa esikhundleni sokuzwa izindumiso zikaNkulunkulu weZulu okwabonakaliswa ngaye umbono wakhe okhazimulayo, wezwa amatshe emvula ephuma ezandleni zabafowabo emletha ekufeni okunonya. Ngisho neminyaka emithathu nengxenye ngemva kokufa kweNdodana kaNkulunkulu, amaJuda ayengafundanga lutho. Baqhubeka bebulala abaprofethi bakaJehova ababefuna ukubatshela okuthile ngendlu engcwele yasezulwini kanye nokunxusa uKristu ayekwenza lapho, nothi lwezibani ekugcineni lwaya kulabo ababezoshumayela kwabezizwe: ibandla lokuqala lobuKristu.

Ngaphambili, uJesu wayeqoqe amakhanda angu-12—abaphostoli—ababeyinsali kuwo wonke u-Israyeli, futhi badumisa iNkosi futhi bazi lapho Yayikhona ngokoqobo ngokoqobo; okungukuthi, eNdaweni eNgcwele yendlu engcwele yasezulwini. Kodwa kwakungakezwa lutho ekushumayeleni kwabo. Icebo lensindiso lashunyayelwa iminyaka emithathu nengxenye ngaphezulu kumaJuda emva kokufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni, futhi nakuba babebubona bonke ubufakazi obuphambi kwabo futhi bezwa ngisho nofakazi bokuvuka kwabafileyo uqobo, abaholi bawo bawufulathela uMoya oNgcwele owawufuna ukukhuluma nawo ngakho benza Isono Esingenakuthethelelwa. Umnyango weNdawo eNgcwele wawuvaliwe ngenxa yabo njengesizwe.

Owesifazane Wembethe ILanga

Owesifazane wesAmbulo 12 ngokwakhe, emi enyangeni, ufanekisela ibandla lobuKristu, eliqala ngabaphostoli futhi ngokuvamile, laliyiminyaka engu-AD 31 no-34, ngokulandelana. Wembethe iLanga Lokulunga, okuyiNkosi uqobo Lwalo, eyayiqokwe njengelitshe Legumbi. Ilanga likhiqiza ukukhanya kwalo, njengoba nje noJesu engumthombo wokukhanya kweqiniso nokuphila. Inkonzo yesithunzi yayingasadingeki ukuze ifanekisele uMsindisi owayesebethelwe futhi wavuka enkazimulweni Yakhe yonke. Nokho, ibandla lobuKristu lalingeke lihlale nemfundiso yokuqala emsulwa, kodwa lahlubuka. Wonke umjikelezo wophawu nesonto uchaza ukuxubana okubi kwezimfundiso zebandla nalezo okufanele ngabe bazishumayela. Amasiko nezinkolelo zobuhedeni zangena zajula ebandleni futhi ubupapa baba ithuluzi likaSathane lokubhubhisa konke uJesu ayekunike ibandla ngabaphostoli. Kodwa naphezu kokwanda kokuhlubuka, ibandla likaNkulunkulu leqiniso lalikhona, nakuba lalincipha kakhulu, lilondolozwe ekuhlanzekeni kwalo kwaze kwaba yilapho sekuhlungwa okunye okukhulu.

Kusukela eNkathini Yenguquko, kwavela imiphakathi eminingi yamaProthestani eyayingakafinyeleli ekuhlukaneni ngokuphelele nethonya lobuhedeni nelobupapa ngoba yayingaqondi ukuthi ukugcina iSonto esikhundleni seSabatha laseBhayibhelini kusho ukwamukela uphawu lukaPontiff waseRoma. Ngakho iNguquko, eyamiswa ngokuvamile kusukela ngo-1517 kuya ku-1648, yehluleka ngombuzo weSabatha eMkhandlwini WaseTrent. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayezoletha lombuzo phambili ngokushesha ngenye indlela futhi anikeze ukukhanya okukhulu ngosuku olungcwele lokuphumula olwamiswa uNkulunkulu egunyeni Lakhe.

Cishe ngo-1820, uNkulunkulu wavusa “umprofethi” wokuqala wokulungiselela isifundo seBhayibheli. Umlimi waseNyakatho Melika uWilliam Miller wayengumsunguli wokunyakaza kwengelosi yokuqala yesAmbulo 14 futhi wayezomemezela isikhathi sokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu. USamuel Snow naye wamemezela umlayezo omkhulu futhi omuhle: “IBhabhiloni liwile!” futhi waba nabalandeli abanamandla njengenhloko yesigijimi sengelosi yesibili, eyayibonisa izono neziphambeko zamabandla amaProthestani ahlubukayo ayesagcina imiyalo yamaRoma esikhundleni sokwaphezulu. Zombili ukunyakaza kwezingelosi zamemezela isigaba esisha esiseduze sohlelo lukaNkulunkulu lwensindiso. Lapho, ehlobo lika-1844, bebuthene ndawonye futhi beshumayela ngisho nosuku oluqondile lokuqala kokwaHlulela (bacabanga, nokho, ukuthi kwakuwusuku lokufika kukaJesu), “isikhalo saphakathi kwamabili” sazwakalisa isixwayiso samabandla obuKristu sokubasusa ezonweni zaseBabiloni nokubalungiselela ukwahlulela.

Labo abalalela isixwayiso futhi bazilungiselela ngokomoya, kuhlanganise nesimilo sabo, nabo babeyomelana novivinyo uNkulunkulu ayeluhlelele ukudlulela esigabeni esilandelayo. Ngokuba uNkulunkulu uqobo wayengumqambi Wokudumazeka Okukhulu kwango-1844, ngoba wayegcine umunwe wakhe ekuqapheleni ukuthi kwakungelona usuku lokubuya kukaJesu, olwamenyezelwa ngokukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili, njengoba wonke umuntu wayekholelwa. Lapho uJesu engafiki ngesikhathi esilindelekile, okuwukuphela kwabo ababekwazi ukulondoloza ukholo lwabo yilabo ababethembela ngokungenakunyakaziswa ekuthembekeni kweZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi kungekho moya owawungabanyakazisa. Bafuna uNkulunkulu ngokuzethemba okukhulu kunanini ngaphambili, kodwa benza iphutha ekuchazeni kwabo amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Bangaki ababezoma?

Ukudumazeka Okukhulu kwakuhilele wonke amabandla amakhulu omhlaba ngemva kokukhala kwamabandla phakathi kwamabili phakathi kwamabili kwengelosi yokuqala neyesibili yesAmbulo 14. Ngemva kwalokho, kwaphinde kwasala abantu abayi-12 kuphela ukuze baqhubeke, kuyilapho abanye bekwalile futhi bakulahla ukukhanya. Kungaba yilawa maphayona ayi-12 eBandla lama-Adventist akamuva, okwathi ngo-Okthoba 23, 1844 baqaphela iQiniso leNgcwele futhi balandela uJesu lapho ayeye khona. UHiram Edson, osanda kukhethwa uNkulunkulu ‘njengomprofethi’ oqoqayo, onamehlo akhe omoya njengoStefanu, wabona izulu livulekile noJesu ekhonza phambi kukaBaba eNgcwelengcwele ngenxa yethu. Amaphayona ayi-12 kuphela ama-Adventist nawo abona lomnyango ovuliwe wesAmbulo 4:1 endlini engcwele yasezulwini kanye noNkulunkulu, weqa umbundu oya eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele yeNkantolo yaseZulwini ukuze enze inkonzo yokukhulumela kaJesu ekwahluleleni kophenyo, lapho kusukela manje ayezokwenza khona ukuhlanzwa kwendlu engcwele yoSuku Lokubuyisana lwasezulwini. Amaqiniso amakhulu embulwa kubo futhi ngokomoya balandela uNkulunkulu lapho, lapho kwakukhona uMphongolo weSivumelwano oneMiyalo Eyishumi, futhi uMoya kaNkulunkulu ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho wavula ukuqonda koMyalo Wesine olahlekile njengesenzo sokugcina sokuhlanza ukuze ubuyisele ivangeli ebumsulwa balo.

Isikhathi ngasinye, lapho kuba khona ukuguquka kusuka kwesinye inkathi yowesifazane kusAmbulo 12 kuya kwesinye, kwakuyisikhathi sokuvala umnyango wesihe kulabo abenqaba umnyango ovulekile. Lapho amaJuda elahlekelwa izinti zawo zamakhandlela, lenqubo yaqala ngosuku (manje) oluqinisekile: May 25, AD 31 lapho enza ukuba uJesu abethelwe esiphambanweni. Kodwa isikhathi sabo somusa sasingakaqedi. INkosi yabanika eminye iminyaka emithathu nengxenye kwaze kwaba yilapho benqaba futhi bamkhanda ngamatshe uStefanu, umnyango wavalwa. Ngalesi sikhathi, ivangeli lashunyayelwa eJerusalema ngamandla alo onke kumaJuda nakwabeZizwe, kodwa lalingazange liqondiswe ngokusemthethweni kwabeZizwe futhi namanje alukho uhambo lokuvangela olwathathwa. USawulu wabizwa nguJesu ngemva nje kokukhandwa ngamatshe kukaStefanu, futhi ngaleyondlela inkathi entsha yobuKristu kwabeZizwe yagcina isiqalile, nakuba ngokuqinisekile eminyakeni emithathu nengxenye ngaphambili, amanye amaqaba aphendukela kuJesu.

Icala lalifana kakhulu ngesikhathi soguquko lusuka ebandleni lobuKristu ngesikhathi sokwahlulelwa kwabantu—iBandla lama-SDA. Njengoba u-October 22, 1844 wayedlula—usuku Lokudumazeka Okukhulu—abaningi babelubethele esiphambanweni ukholo lwabo esiprofethweni seBhayibheli nakuJesu owayezobuya ngokushesha. Kwaphinde kwaba ngaphezu kweminyaka emibili kwaze kwaba yilapho u-Ellen G. White nomyeni wakhe bemukela iqiniso leSabatha futhi ivangeli elimsulwa ngempela laqala ukushunyayelwa futhi. EBhayibhelini, lesi sikhathi soguquko siboniswa ngokucacile umehluko wesikhathi sokuza “koMdala Wezinsuku” kanye nokuza “kweNdodana yomuntu”.

Umqhele Wowesifazane

ngabona kwaze kwabekwa izihlalo zobukhosi, kwahlala omdala wezinsuku; izingubo zakhe zazimhlophe njengeqhwa, nezinwele zekhanda lakhe zinjengoboya bezimvu obuhlanzekileyo; isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sasingamalangabi omlilo, namasondo aso umlilo ovuthayo. Kwaphuma umfula ovuthayo phambi kwakhe; izinkulungwane zezinkulungwane zazimkhonza, nezinkulungwane eziyishumi zezinkulungwane eziyishumi zazimi phambi kwakhe; ukwahlulela kwamiswa, nezincwadi zavulwa. (Funda uDaniyeli 7:9-10.)

Ngo-Okthoba 22, 1844, uNkulunkulu uBaba wayesevele ehlezi, izihlalo zobukhosi zabadala zalungiswa, futhi ukwahlulela kwaqala. Abadala (okwahlulelwa abafileyo) bahlala futhi izincwadi zavulwa. Kodwa uJesu ngokwakhe wayengakabi ingxenye yalesi senzakalo. Ukuvela kwakhe kuzofika evesini elilandelayo.

Ngabona emibonweni yasebusuku, bheka, kwafika onjengeNdodana yomuntu namafu ezulu, wafika koMdala Wezinsuku, bamsondeza phambi kwakhe. Futhi wanikwa ukubusa, nenkazimulo, nombuso, ukuze bonke abantu, nezizwe, nezilimi bayikhonze: ukubusa kwakhe kungukubusa kwaphakade, okungayikudlula, nombuso wakhe yiwo ongayikuchithwa. ( Daniyeli 7:13-14 )

Ukuze siqonde kangcono ukuthi uJesu wabonakala nini nokuthi kwenzekani ngenxa yalokho, kufanele, njengenjwayelo, sitadishe uDaniyeli nesAmbulo ndawonye. Isimo esifanayo siyatholakala nakusAmbulo 4 no 5. KusAmbulo 4, sithola incazelo yenkantolo kanye noYise esihlalweni Sakhe sobukhosi. Umnyango ovuliwe evesini 1 uwumnyango weNdawo eNgcwele ka-October 22, 1844. Kodwa uJesu ungena endaweni kuphela njengoba kuboniswe eSahlukweni 5 ngombuzo omkhulu othi ubani ofanelekela ukuvula incwadi enezimpawu eziyisikhombisa. Lapho uJesu emukela incwadi esandleni sikaYise, abadala abangu-24 bathandaza kuYe futhi bazisa isizathu sokuthi kungani konke ukubusa, inkazimulo nombuso kwanikezwa iWundlu:

Bahlabelela isihlabelelo esisha, bathi: “Ufanele ukuthatha incwadi nokuvula izimpawu zayo; ngoba wahlatshwa, wasihlengela uNkulunkulu ngegazi lakho abavela kuzo zonke izizwana, nezilimi, nabantu, nezizwe; Wasenza amakhosi nabapristi kuNkulunkulu wethu, futhi siyakubusa emhlabeni. ( IsAmbulo 5:9-10 )

Ukunikezwa kokubusa, inkazimulo nombuso kwaqala ngemva nje kokuqala kokwaHlulela futhi kwathatha isikhathi esithile, futhi ngemva kwalokho kwaba yilapho kuphela uphawu lokuqala lwephulwa nguJesu uqobo:

Ngase ngibona lapho iWundlu livula olunye lwezimpawu, ngezwa esinye sezidalwa ezine eziphilayo sithi, njengezwi lokuduma: “Woza ubone. Ngase ngibona, bheka, nanto ihhashi elimhlophe, nohlezi phezu kwalo wayenomnsalo; wanikwa umqhele, waphuma enqoba, futhi eyakunqoba. ( IsAmbulo 6:1-2 )

Abaningi bama-Adventist baye bahlasela isifundo se-Orion, bethi akukho ukweqa kweminyaka emibili phakathi kokwaHlulelwa oqala kusAmbulo 4 nokuvulwa kophawu lokuqala kusAmbulo 6, ngakho-ke iwashi elibonisa uphawu lokuqala ngo-1846 kufanele libe nephutha. Okuphambene kunjalo. Ngisho nombhalo weBhayibheli kuDaniyeli nakusAmbulo uyagcizelela ukuthi umehluko onjalo esikhathini nesigaba soguquko ukhona. Ngalesi sikhathi, iqiniso lokwaHlulelwa eliqala endaweni engcwele yasezulwini lashunyayelwa lodwa, ngaphandle kweqiniso leSabatha. UMgibeli Wehhashi Elimhlophe akazange aphume uphawu lokuqala kwaze kwaba yilapho u-Ellen G. White nomyeni wakhe bemukela iSabatha ekwindla ka-1846 ngokusekelwe encwadini kaJoseph Bates, eyanyatheliswa ngo-August 1846. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho ivangeli elihlanzekile laqala khona ukugibela futhi. Noma ubani ophikayo lokhu uphambene neqiniso leBhayibheli nelomlando.

Futhi akukhona lokho kuphela, futhi uphikisana nombono waphezulu ka-Ellen G. White ngokwakhe, awuthola ngo-1847, osekuyisikhathi eside enikeza ama-Adventist into yokucabanga ngayo. Kungumbono “wokuphela kwezinsuku eziyi-2300”, lapho umehluko wesikhathi phakathi kokungena kukaBaba nokungena kweNdodana endaweni engcwele yasezulwini uchazwa ngokuqondile emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu:

Ngabona uBaba esukuma esihlalweni sobukhosi, futhi ngenqola evuthayo engena endlini engcwele phakathi kweveyili, futhi wahlala phansi. Khona uJesu wasukuma esihlalweni sobukhosi, kwasukuma kanye naye abaningi kwababekhothama. Angizange ngibone ngisho nowodwa umsebe wokukhanya udlula kuJesu uya esixukwini esinganaki ngemva kokuba evukile, futhi basala ebumnyameni obuphelele. Labo abavuka lapho uJesu evuka, bagcina amehlo abo egxile kuYe njengaYe washiya isihlalo sobukhosi, wabaholela ngaphandle kancane. [Lokhu kuphawula isikhathi esikhethekile ngo-1844, esizobhala ngaso kamuva.] Wase-ke ephakamisa ingalo yaKhe yokunene, futhi sezwa izwi laKhe elithandekayo lithi, “Lindani lapha; ngiya kuBaba ukuze ngamukele umbuso; gcinani izingubo zenu zingenabala, kuseyisikhashana ngibuye emshadweni, nginamukele kimi. Khona-ke inqola enamafu, inamasondo afana nomlilo ovuthayo, izungezwe izingelosi, yeza lapho uJesu ayekhona. Wangena enqoleni wathwalwa wayiswa endlini engcwele lapho okwakuhlezi khona uBaba. [Ukungena kukaJesu eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele ngo-October 22, 1844.] Lapho ngabona uJesu, umPristi oMkhulu, emi phambi kukaBaba. Emphethweni wengubo Yakhe kwakukhona isikhencezo nehalananda, isikhencezo nehalananda. Labo abavuka kanye noJesu babethumela ukholo lwabo kuye endaweni engcwele, futhi bakhuleke, “Baba wami, siphe uMoya wakho.” Khona-ke uJesu wayezophefumulela phezu kwabo uMoya oNgcwele. Kulowomoya kwakukhona ukukhanya, amandla, nothando oluningi, injabulo, nokuthula [iqiniso leSabatha, elafika ngo-1846]. {I-EW 55.1}

Sibike kabanzi ngalokhu esihlokweni Izinsuku ezingama-1335. Futhi njengoba nje amaJuda asala ebumnyameni lapho ivangeli liya kwabeZizwe, kanjalo lonke eLobukholwa elahlubuka ekukholweni ezigijimini zengelosi yokuqala neyesibili zasala ekungazini okungokomoya. Umbono uqhubeka uchaza isimo sabo esibi, sebeshiye ukholo lwabo oludala futhi benqaba ukukhanya okusha. Ngemva kokudumala okukhulu, babenqabile kokubili imfundiso yendlu engcwele kanye nokukhanya kweSabatha esigijimini sengelosi yesithathu:

Ngaphenduka ngabuka isixuku esasisakhotheme phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi; babengazi ukuthi uJesu wayeyishiyile. USathane wabonakala esesihlalweni sobukhosi, ezama ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Ngababona bebheka phezulu esihlalweni sobukhosi, futhi bakhuleka, “Baba, siphe uMoya waKho.” USathane wabe esebafutha ithonya elibi; kwakukhona ukukhanya namandla amaningi, kodwa kungekho uthando olumnandi, injabulo, nokuthula. Inhloso kaSathane kwakuwukubagcina bedukiswa futhi bahlehle futhi badukise abantwana bakaNkulunkulu. {I-EW 56.1}

Labo abamelana nethonya likaMoya oNgcwele kanye nokukhanya okusha naphezu kwabo bonke ubufakazi—obusadinga ukholo—bagcina bengaphansi kwethonya Lezinganekwane zikaSathane. Kungumoya wamanga, ukuphaphama okungamanga nokukhanya mbumbulu okuthululelwa phezu kwabo yisitha semiphefumulo, futhi ekugcineni bayokonakala.

Umnyango wesihe webandla lobuKristu wawusuqale ukuvalwa ngo-Okthoba 22, 1844. Yilabo kuphela abahlala begxilile naphezu kokudumazeka, ababengaphumelela uvivinyo olulandelayo—ukwamukela noma ukwenqatshwa kweqiniso leSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa. Ekwindla ka-1846 kulo lonke ibandla, amaphayona ayi-12 kuphela ama-Adventist akhetha iqiniso leSanctuary. futhi iqiniso leSabatha, futhi base belungele ukuqala a umjikelezo omusha weziMpawu namaBandla njengebandla likaNkulunkulu elihlanziwe. UNkulunkulu wanika amanye amabandla iminyaka emibili ukuba aphenduke futhi umnyango weNdawo eNgcwelengcwele wavalwa wona. Khona-ke uSathane wavunyelwa ukuba abe nethonya elingengcwele ngokukhethekile kubo, ababengeke besakwazi ukuliqaphela njengomphakathi iQiniso Lamanje.

Kule minyaka emibili yenkathi yenguquko, umcimbi wokubekwa kukaJesu esihlalweni sobukhosi wawuseNdaweni Engcwele Kangcwele futhi ngenxa yalokho owesifazane uthwala umqhele ekhanda lakhe njengophawu lukaJesu othweswe umqhele kuyilapho egqokiswe uJesu njengeLanga Lokulunga phakathi nenkathi yobuKristu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi inyanga, eyayikhomba kuJesu ezinkonzweni zemikhosi, ilanga, okwakunguJesu umlamuleli, noma umqhele owawufanekisela umPristi Ophakeme wasebukhosini uJesu ngokohlelo lukaMelkisedeki, njalo nguJesu ozungeza ibandla likaNkulunkulu leqiniso futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo ebonisa ukukhula kwabo eqinisweni lamanje. Labo abayobe sebehlukanise zonke izimpawu bayobe sebefike ekugcineni, futhi uJesu uyobaphelezela ohambweni lwabo oluya e-Orion Nebula.

Ama-Adventist amaningi ngeshwa awazange azinaka izimpawu eziguqukayo kusAmbulo 12:1 ekuguqukeni kwebandla lobuKristu ukuya eBandleni lama-Adventist futhi akholelwa ukuthi ukuqhubeka kugcina ngowesifazane, okungukuthi, ukuthi owesifazane udlula kuze kube sekugcineni. Nokho uphawu luqhubekela phambili. Isithombe sikaDaniyeli esiqala ekhanda legolide sehle siye ekupheleni kwemibuso lapho itshe elikhulu lisiphahlaza futhi ligcwalise umhlaba wonke, sitshela isiphetho sendaba yombuso kaSathane owohlokayo. Ngokufanayo, umfanekiso wowesifazane kusAmbulo 12 uchaza ukwakhiwa kwesakhiwo soMbuso kaNkulunkulu ongapheli kusukela esisekelweni sawo, ngakolunye uhlangothi—kusuka phansi kuye phezulu. Nokho owesifazane ngokwakhe akalona uphawu lokugcina kulolu hlelo. IBandla lama-SDA, okufanele liqhamuke ebandleni lobuKristu, limelelwe umqhele wowesifazane weSambulo 12.

Kodwa leli bandla nalo lalizowa evangelini elimsulwa. Ekwindla 1846, kwaqala umjikelezo omusha wophawu nebandla, owawubhalwe njengezono zeBandla leSDA ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe eNcwadini YeziMpawu Eziyisikhombisa ku-Orion. Ukwehluleka okukhulu kwebandla, elathola ukukhanya okungapheli ngoMoya Wesiprofetho—u-Ellen G. White—kwaphawulwa nguNkulunkulu ukuze isizukulwane sokugcina sabangu-144,000 sifunde kulawa maphutha. U-Ellen G. White wathatha indima yomprofethi omemezela ukukhanya okusha kokuhlola okufanele kubangele ukuhlungwa okulandelayo. Kakade embonweni wakhe wokuqala ka-1844, yamemezela imvula yakamuva nesikhathi sokubekwa uphawu kweziyizi-144,000 futhi cishe eminyakeni emithathu kamuva, yawuthola umbono wayo we-Orion, iphimbo likaNkulunkulu noMuzi oNgcwele, nawo owawuzokwehla usuka lapho. Wagunyaza iphupho likaWilliam Miller njengokusho kwalo uNkulunkulu, lapho kwabikezelwa khona “uMiller Wesibili”, futhi laphinde lanyatheliswa kwethi Early Writings of the Adventist Church njengesiprofetho.

Njengoba umlayezo we-Orion wawuvela ngo-2010 futhi amagugu alahlekile kaWilliam Miller "atholakala futhi ahlanzwa" njengoba iphupho likaWilliam Miller laliprofetha, indoda eyayivunyelwe ukufunda iwashi le-Orion ngoMoya oNgcwele, manje isizibiza ngokuthi "uMiller Wesibili" othenjisiwe. Kufanele abe “umprofethi” oqoqayo wesizukulwane sokugcina, futhi kusukela ngo-2010 waqala ukufuna ngenkuthalo abantu ababezoqaphela la maqiniso futhi abazimisele ukuwafundisa.

U-Ellen G. White wayememezele umnyango ovuliwe kanje: “Amafu amnyama, asindayo aqhamuka futhi ashayana wodwa. Umkhathi wahlukana wahlehla; bese singabheka phezulu ngokusebenzisa indawo evulekile e-Orion, lavelaphi izwi likaNkulunkulu. Umuzi oNgcwele uzokwehla ngalokho indawo evulekile.” futhi uJohn Scotram wabona ngamehlo akhe okomoya kule ndawo evulekile neNkosi yakhe uJesu Kristu inxusa phambi kukaYise ngegazi Lakhe. Ngenkathi ama-Adventist ayelokhu ephelelwa ukholo eSifundisweni seNgcwele kanye nokubuka indawo engcwele yasezulwini, labo bantu abaphakamisa amakhanda abo baqala ukuhlangana ndawonye futhi babona amazulu evulekile futhi babona ngemva kwesihenqo se-Orion Nebula futhi baqaphela ukuthi lapho uBaba wayezoshiya khona iSanctuary futhi uJesu ngokwakhe wayezothatha ukwahlulela kwabaphilayo.

Kusukela ngentwasahlobo ka-2010, umnyango ovuliwe wethulwe eBandleni le-SDA, kodwa bakwenqaba ngokuqinile ukukhanya okusha njengento eyingozi. U-Ellen G. White naye wayekubonile lokhu embonweni futhi waprofetha:

Emabandleni kufanele kube nokubonakaliswa okumangalisayo kwamandla kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngeke kuqhubekele phezu kwalabo abangazange bazithobe phambi kweNkosi, futhi bavule umnyango wenhliziyo ngokuvuma nokuphenduka. Ekubonakalisweni kwalawo mandla akhanyisa umhlaba ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, bayobona okuthile kuphela okuthi ngobumpumputhe babo bacabange ukuthi kuyingozi, into ezovusa ukwesaba kwabo, futhi bayoziqinisa ukumelana nayo. Ngenxa yokuthi iNkosi ayisebenzi ngokwemibono yabo kanye nabakulindele, bazowuphikisa umsebenzi. “Kungani,” besho, “kungafanele yini simazi uMoya kaNkulunkulu, njengoba sesineminyaka eminingi kangaka sisemsebenzini na?”—Ngoba abazange baphendule ezixwayiso, ukunxusa kwemiyalezo kaNkulunkulu, kodwa baphikelela bethi, “Ngicebile, futhi ngicebile, futhi angisweli lutho.” Ithalente, isipiliyoni eside, ngeke kwenze abantu kube imigudu yokukhanya, ngaphandle uma bezibeka ngaphansi kwemisebe ekhanyayo yeLanga Lokulunga, futhi babizwe, bakhethwa, futhi balungiswa ngesiphiwo sikaMoya oNgcwele. Lapho abantu abaphatha izinto ezingcwele bezithoba ngaphansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esinamandla, uJehova uyobaphakamisa. Uyobenza babe amadoda anokuqonda—amadoda anothile ngomusa woMoya wakhe. Isimilo sabo esiqinile, nobugovu, inkani yabo, kuyobonakala ekukhanyeni okuphuma ekuKhanyeni kwezwe. “Ngizakuza kuwe masinyane, ngilususe uthi lwesibane sakho endaweni yalo, ngaphandle kokuthi uphenduke. Uma nimfuna uJehova ngenhliziyo yenu yonke, uyakufunyanwa nguwe. {RH Disemba 23, 1890, Art. B, isig. 18}

UNkulunkulu wayefuna isikhathi eside kangaka ukunikeza imvula yamuva ekuhambeni kwengelosi yesithathu, eyayisekelwe yisithunywa sikaNkulunkulu, u-Ellen G. White, kodwa lapho Efika ekugcineni, akekho owayezilungiselele ukuqaphela uMlayezo ukuthi wawuyini. Umlayezo we-Orion walahlwa abaningi ngokuthi ubeka isikhathi ngaphandle kokuwutadisha, futhi i-Vessel of Time nayo yenqatshwa, nakuba iphinda iqinisekisa ukuthi iBandla leSDA laliyibandla likaNkulunkulu lesikhathi sokuphela elalineqiniso.

Ngaphambi nje kokukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili nangesikhathi sokukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili uqobo, amabandla obuKristu ayexwayisiwe izikhathi ezintathu ngaphambi kokuba umnyango womusa uqale ukuvalelwa wona (1843, spring 1844, October 22, 1844) ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wayezophinda futhi le mininingwane yesici lapho evala umnyango womusa weBandla lama-Adventist. Ngenxa yezikhathi ezishiwo kuDaniel 12, uJohn Scotram nabangane bakhe bayala iBandla le-SDA ukuthi liphenduke ezonweni ezikhonjwe uNkulunkulu kanye nokuphambuka endleleni eqondile ngaphambi kwezehlakalo ezinkulu zangomhla zingama-27 kuNhlolanja wezi-2012, zika-April 5, 2012, kanye nomhla zi-5 kuNhlaba wezi-2012. Izixwayiso zahlekwa inhlekisa futhi zaqala ukuhlanjalazwa i-DA ngaphakathi kweBandla. Ngaleso sikhathi izinto ezinkulu zazenzekile endaweni engcwele yasezulwini, kodwa zazibonakala kuphela yilabo bantu uNkulunkulu ayebavulele izulu. NgoFebhuwari 26/27 uBaba wasuka endaweni engcwele wahamba izinsuku ezingu-40 waya embundwini wenkantolo ngo-April 5/6, ukuze abhekane nokwaHlulelwa Kuye, okwakuyogcina kunqume iNgqungquthela Enkulu nommangaleli uSathane. Lapha uJesu wamiswa ukuba abe uMahluleli Ophakeme wendawo yonke futhi ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo kwaqala ngoMay 5/6, 2012. Sikubhalile ngakho konke lokhu ochungechungeni lwezihloko. Isexwayiso Sokugcina.

Lezizenzakalo zasezulwini azihambisananga nanoma yisiphi isenzakalo esiyinhloko seSonto Lama-Adventist okwakunesikhathi eside silindelwe njengomthetho wangeSonto e-United States noma ama-Fireballs, futhi ngenxa yalokhu kudumazeka okusobala, njengoba kwakunjalo ngo-October 22, 1844, abaningi bashiya inkolelo yabo yokuthi IQiniso Lamanje elisha ngenxa yokuthi babengenawo amehlo angokomoya okubhoboza umgubuzelo wendlu engcwele yasezulwini. Nokho, umnyango wesihe weSonto Lama-Adventist waqala ukuvaleka, futhi njengoba amasonto obuProthestani ayephambi kwawo kanye nabantu abangamaJuda besikhathi sikaJesu, ayengazi ukuthi uthi lwesibani lwawo lwaluzohoxiswa ekugcineni uma bengavumanga futhi baphenduke.

Abanye base benyakaziswa bashiywa endleleni. Abanganaki nabangenandaba, abangazange bahlangane nalabo ababekwazisa ukunqoba nensindiso ngokwanele ukuba baphikelele ngokuphikelela futhi bahlupheke ngakho, abazange bakuthole, futhi bashiywa ebumnyameni, futhi izindawo zabo zagcwala ngokushesha abanye ababamba iqiniso futhi beza ezinhlwini.— Early Writings, 271 (1858). {I-LDE 182.1}

Futhi uNkulunkulu waphinda wabiza isikhathi senguquko lapho kwakusengenzeka ukuphenduka. Kusukela ngo-May 5/6, 2012, ukwahlulela kwabaphilayo kwase kuqalile. Njengoba iningi leBandla lama-SDA lingabonakali, ukubala kokugcina kwaleli hlelo—eliphiwe ngokucebile nguNkulunkulu—kwaqala. UMoya oNgcwele, nokho, wayeseqalile ukuhlehla futhi izinkinga ezimbi kakhulu zabonakala kusukela kuleli qophelo kuqhubeke ebandleni. Ngokwesibonelo, umbuzo wokugcotshwa kwabesifazane wabangela ukuhlukana kwebandla kodwa nokho akekho owakwazi ukubona ukuthi ukuphela kweBandla le-SDA elihleliwe kwaba sobala ngo-2012 njengoba nje umkhumbi Wesikhathi wawusho.

Kodwa umnyango wesihe weBandla lama-Adventist wawuzoqala nini ukuvaleka unomphela? Futhi yisiphi isenzakalo esingavula umnyango wakhe womusa? Ngisho noJohn Scotram nabangane bakhe babhekana nale mibuzo. Ukunquma isikhathi, kufanele sijule....

Izinkanyezi Emqhele Wowesifazane

Umqhele wowesifazane awufanekiseli kuphela umqhele kaJesu, kodwa nalowo mqhele otholwa yibo bonke ababezokwamukela futhi baphile amaqiniso amasha amanje ayeyokwembulwa phakathi nenkathi yokuvivinywa kusukela ngo-1844 kuqhubeke. Umqhele owodwa unikezwa abathembekile bebandla laseSmirna, abazofa ekugcineni ngesikhathi sokuphindwa koPhawu Lwesihlanu njengomfel’ ukholo, ukuze benze inani labo eliphelele.

Ungesabi lezozinto ozahlupheka ngazo; khangela, uSathane uzaphosela abanye benu entolongweni, ukuze nilingwe; futhi niyakuba nosizi izinsuku eziyishumi: thembeka kuze kube sekufeni, futhi ngizokunika a umqhele wokuphila. ( IsAmbulo 2:10 )

Lapho selivule uphawu lwesihlanu, ngabona phansi kwe-altare imiphefumulo yababulewe ngenxa yezwi likaNkulunkulu nangenxa yobufakazi ababenabo, bamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, bathi: “Koze kube nini, Jehova ongcwele noqinisileyo, ungahluleli, uphindisele igazi lethu kwabakhileyo emhlabeni na? Base benikwa yilowo nalowo izingubo ezimhlophe; kwathiwa kubo, basaphumule isikhashana; kuze kugcwaliseke izinceku ezikanye nabo nabafowabo ababezobulawa njengabo. ( IsAmbulo 6:9-11 )

Umqhele wesibili kuSambulo owanikwa ibandla laseFiladelfiya, ufanekisela abayizi-144,000 ababeqonde iZwi likaNkulunkulu ngomlayezo wesikhathi futhi abasoze bakubona ukufa. Bayosindiswa ehoreni lokulingwa, okuyisikhathi seziNhlupho, ngoba bangabangcwele abanesineke abangeke baliphika igama likaJesu ngesikhathi sokuvivinywa okukhulu kwemithetho yangeSonto.

Ngokuba uligcinile izwi lokubekezela kwami, nami ngiyakukulondoloza ehoreni lokulingwa eliyakufika phezu komhlaba wonke ukulinga bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni. Bheka, ngiyeza masinyane; bambisisa onakho, ukuze kungabikho muntu okuthathayo umqhele wakho. ( IsAmbulo 3:10-11 )

Laba bangofakazi bakaNkulunkulu abathembekile, izidalwa eziyobonisa ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu engxenyeni yokugcina yeNkosi Ukwahlulela Okukhulu. Owabo umqhele. Ingxenye yabo iyofa, futhi sibheka emuva kanye nabo ekwahlulelweni kwabafileyo. Enye ingxenye ngeke ikunambithe ukufa, futhi sibheke phambili kanye nabo ekwahlulelweni kwabaphilayo futhi kanjalo ekuphileni okuphakade.

Embuthanweni omkhulu wezihlalo zobukhosi ezingama-24 ezizungeze isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu endlini yenkantolo (IsAmbulo 4:4), izihlalo zobukhosi eziyi-12 ngokomfanekiso zazigcinelwe amavulandlela eBandla lama-Adventist, futhi zahlalwa iminyaka eyi-168 ngesikhathi sokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo. Kodwa ubani ohlala kusemi-circle yesibili?

Uphawu lomqhele wowesifazane kusAmbulo 12 nawo awusona isiphetho. Eminye imininingwane isashiwo ngathi:

Kwabonakala isimangaliso esikhulu ezulwini; owesifazane embethe ilanga, nenyanga iphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, nasekhanda lakhe kukhona umqhele lezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili: ( IsAmbulo 12:1 )

Umphakathi wokuhamba kwengelosi yesine ngaphansi kokuqondisa kukaJohn Scotram, okwatuswa ngoMeyi 5/6, 2012, iSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa sesibili, lapho amadoda nabesifazane abayi-12 ngokomfanekiso behlala phansi engxenyeni yesibili yesiyingi bezungeza isihlalo sokwahlulela sikaNkulunkulu. Ngemva kweminyaka engaphezu kwemibili yokufuna phakathi kwamalungu ayizigidi ezingu-17 eBandla le-Global SDA Church, uJohn Scotram wakwazi kuphela ukuthola abantu abayi-12 ababezinikele ngokuzithoba eNkosini ukuthi bathole ukukhanya ingelosi yesine noMoya oNgcwele emvuleni yakamuva. Futhi babeyi-12 kuphela ababezothatha isinyathelo esilandelayo ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu lwensindiso, njengoba kwakunjalo ngaphambili ngabaphostoli namaphayona e-Advent. Njengoba u-Ellen G. White aprofetha, abazange bakhe inhlangano entsha noma bahlukane ngisho neSonto Lama-Adventist, kodwa iSonto Lama-Adventist lenqaba ukunikeza inkazimulo eNkosini futhi okungenani babambe isidlo seNkosi nabazalwane ababeqaphele iQiniso Lamanje elisha.

Kulomfanekiso wezinkanyezi ezingu-12 ezisemqheleni wowesifazane, uNkulunkulu uze unikeze nenani eliqondile labantu okufanele babe izinhloko zabangu-144,000 12, ngoba futhi liyinani elingokoqobo, ngoba bayizizwe ezingu-12,000 zikaIsrayeli Ongokomoya omusha ngasinye esizoqoqa amalungu angu-12 12 kanye nabo. Bangamakhosi, futhi ngayinye imelela isici sobuntu esifana nesinye sezizwe zakwa-Israyeli, okufanele basinqobe ngosizo lukaJesu. Laba bantu abangu-3 babhekana novivinyo olunzima kakhulu ngaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu abenze “abadala” ekwahluleleni kwabaphilayo. Yibo abaqondisa abahlakaniphileyo kuDaniyeli XNUMX:XNUMX , bekhazimula njengezinkanyezi zesigijimi se-Orion.

Ngakho, ukwahlulela kwabaphilayo kwaqala ngokunganakwa iningi elikhulu futhi kwaba uvivinyo olwengeziwe kwabambalwa okwakufanele ngokushesha babe nomsebenzi wokuzwakalisa ukukhala okukhulu. Besazi ukuthi ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo kwase kuqalile, manje umbuzo wokuphela kokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo wawumi phambi kwabo. Ochungechungeni lwezihloko ezimayelana ne Isexwayiso Sokugcina sesivele sabelane nabafundi ngemibono eminingi evela kokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu, kodwa kithi, okuningi kakhulu bekungakacaci futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uMoya oNgcwele wasiholela ekucaciseni imibhalo. Namuhla sinokuqonda okucace kakhulu ngalesi sikhathi, okuphinde kuphawule ukuqala kokuvalwa kokugcina komnyango wesihe weBandla lama-Adventist.

Kuyophela Nini Ukwahlulelwa Kwabafileyo?

Kwaphunyuka emiqondweni yethu isikhathi esithile ukuthi kufanele kube, njengasezigabeni ezedlule, inkathi yoguquko ukuze ishintshele esigabeni esisha sohlelo lwensindiso, okuyiqiniso futhi ngoguquko olusuka ekwahlulelweni kwabafileyo luye ekwahlulelweni kwabaphilayo! Izinhlobo ezandulele zisho kanjalo ngokucacile. Ngakho-ke, kwakungalungile ngathi ukuba sicabange ukuthi izehlakalo ezifana neNkathazo Enkulu kanye nomthetho wangeSonto zizokwenzeka ekuqaleni kokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo. Kodwa lokhu bekuyiphutha futhi sizokulungisa manje futhi sikuchaze ngokugcwele.

Ngisho nasekuhlaziyweni kwesiFungo sikaJesu emadodeni amabili ezinhlangothini ezihlukene zomfula kuDaniel 12 bekufanele kube sobala kithi ukuthi uJesu ubambe izandla zombili endaweni ephakanyisiwe kanyekanye. Sasiqonda kahle ukuthi kwakufanele kube ukuze la madoda amabili abe abamele ukwahlulela kwabafileyo nabaphilayo, futhi siyaqonda ukuthi uJesu wayesifihlile isikhathi sokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo emfanekisweni ngokwawo (7 × 2 × 12 = iminyaka engu-168), nokuthi isikhathi sokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo sabonakaliswa ngendlela ekhulunyiwe esifungweni (isikhathi, izikhathi nengxenye yezikhathi ezimbili = kodwa ngemva kwengxenye yezikhathi ezimbili) UJesu kwakuyodingeka aqale aphakamise isandla endodeni eyodwa kuphela futhi kamuva anikeze enye indoda okwakumelwe isebenze kuye amazwi ayisifungo. Ukubamba izandla zombili ngokuphakamisa kanyekanye, njengoba umbhalo weBhayibheli usho, kakade kukhombisa inkathi yenguquko.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, sibe namaphutha amaningi ekunembeni kwewashi le-Orion, esingathethelelwa njengoba nathi singabafundi nje. Iwashi le-Orion laqala nini ukuqhweba noma kwaqala nini ngempela ukwahlulelwa kwabafileyo? Impendulo elula ithi: Ngo-Okthoba 22, 1844 ekuqaleni koSuku Lokubuyisana.

Manje sekulandela eminye imibuzo emibili, ebesingakayichazi kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi sasihlale sichayeka enzondweni yama-anti-time-setter ashisekayo emaqenjini ama-Adventist ayefuna ukusivimba kaninginingi ekumemezeleni iphuzu elinembe kakhulu ngesikhathi:

1. Uqala nini ngempela unyaka ewashini le-Orion?
2. Iphela nini ngempela iminyaka engu-168 yewashi le-Orion?

Kunomunye umbuzo othakazelisayo: “Kungani uNkulunkulu abeka eBhayibhelini iziqalo ezimbili zonyaka?” Uma singathola izimpendulo zaleyo mibuzo emibili kulesi sihloko, sizoyithola impendulo yalo mbuzo wesithathu.

Ekuqaleni kwesethulo se-Orion kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo ngo-2010, sibale ukuthi ibanga phakathi kwabadala ababili, amaphuzu aphawula amahora wewashi, kufanele libe yiminyaka eyi-7 ncamashi. Ngamanye amazwi: iminyaka eyi-168 eMhlabeni yoSuku Lokwahlulela eZulwini yahlukaniswa yaba amahora angu-24 asezulwini ahambisana nezikhawu ezingu-24 zeminyaka engu-7 ngayinye. Bekufanele siqaphele ngokushesha ukuthi lokhu kuhambisana nesigqi esithile uNkulunkulu asichazela uMose eminyakeni engaphezu kuka-3500 edlule:

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose entabeni yaseSinayi, wathi: “Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Nxa ningena ezweni engininika lona, ​​izwe liyakugcina isabatha kuJehova. Iminyaka eyisithupha uyakulima insimu yakho, iminyaka eyisithupha uyakuthena isivini sakho, ubuthe izithelo zaso; Kepha ngomnyaka wesikhombisa kuyakuba yisabatha lokuphumula kwezwe, isabatha likaJehova: ungahlwanyeli insimu yakho, ungathena isivini sakho. Okumilelayo ekuvuneni kwakho ungakuvuni, ungabuthi izithelo zomvini wakho ezingatheniwe, ngokuba kungumuthi. unyaka wokuphumula ezweni. Isabatha lezwe liyakuba ngukudla kwenu; wena, nenceku yakho, nencekukazi yakho, nenceku yakho, nomfokazi wakho ogogobeleyo kuwe, nezinkomo zakho, nezilwane ezisezweni lakho, wonke umkhiqizo wakho uyakuba ngukudla. ( Levitikusi 25:1-7 )

Kodwa kubhalwephi ukuthi ukubalwa kwale minyaka yesabatha kufanele kuqale? UNkulunkulu uphendula lokhu emongweni ofanayo emavesini amathathu alandelayo, kuyilapho futhi ethula ukubalwa kweminyaka yejubili:

Uyakuzibalela amasabatha ayisikhombisa eminyaka, iminyaka eyisikhombisa iphindwe kasikhombisa; isikhathi samasabatha ayisikhombisa eminyaka siyakuba kuwe iminyaka engamashumi amane nesishiyagalolunye. Khona-ke uyakukhalima icilongo lejubili ngosuku lweshumi lwenyanga yesikhombisa, ngosuku lokubuyisana niyakwenza ukukhala kwecilongo ezweni lonke lakini. Niyakungcwelisa umnyaka wamashumi ayisihlanu, nimemezele inkululeko ezweni lonke kubo bonke abakhileyo kulo; kuyakuba yijubili kini; nibuyele, kube yilowo nalowo efeni lakhe, nibuyele, kube yilowo nalowo emndenini wakhe. ( Levitikusi 25:8-10 )

Ukubalwa kweminyaka phakathi nomjikelezo wesabatha kuzoqala ngemva komkhosi wamaJuda ophindaphindwayo waminyaka yonke, uSuku Lokuhlawulela!

Ezihlokweni ze-Shadow Series, ngakolunye uhlangothi sasinayo inyanga u-Abib njengokuqala konyaka wamaJuda. Eqinisweni iBhayibheli liyakunikeza lezi ziqalo ezimbili ezihlukene zonyaka. Abaningi manje bakholelwa ukuthi lezi ziyisiqalo sonyaka “wenkolo” kanye “nomphakathi,” ngokulandelana, kodwa lokho akumile. Njengoba kokubili ukuqala konyaka kungalandelelwa emuva emiyalweni kaNkulunkulu, yomibili “ingokwenkolo” ngokwemvelo! Ukugcinwa kweRosh Hashanah—usuku lokuqala lukaTishri ngoMkhosi Wamacilongo—kwethulwa kamuva kakhulu orabi futhi kushiwo njengokuqala kukaNcibijane, kodwa akusekelwe eBhayibhelini. Uma ufuna, ungabiza lokho ngokuthi "uNyaka Omusha Wezombangazwe" futhi uyaziwa namaJuda namuhla.

Kodwa ngokweBhayibheli, kuneziqalo zeminyaka emibili... zonyaka womkhosi, oqala ngePhasika ngosuku lwe-14 lwenyanga yokuqala u-Abibi entwasahlobo, kanye nonyaka wesabatha oqala njalo ngosuku lwe-10 lukaTishri ngoSuku Lokubuyisana. UNkulunkulu usebonisile kakade ngalezi ziqalo zeminyaka emibili ukuthi kuneziprofetho ezimbili ezinkulu ezihlobene nesiqalo ngasinye seminyaka emibili, futhi sisekelwe kulezi zibalo.

Kunengqondo ukwabela amahora wewashi le-Orion kumasabatha ngezizathu ezimbili:

1. Ibanga phakathi kwabadala liyiminyaka eyi-7 ncamashi, okuwumjikelezo wonyaka wesabatha.
2. Iwashi le-Orion liqala ngoSuku Lokubuyisana ngo-Okthoba 22, 1844.

Wonke umugqa owodwa Womkhumbi Wesikhathi onohlu lwamaSabatha Aphakeme, ngakolunye uhlangothi, uhlanganisa "Intwasahlobo/Ekwindla" -inhlanganisela yokugcwaliseka okuhambisanayo kwenkathi yamaholide. Ngakho, eMkhunjini Wesikhathi, unyaka uqala ngemikhosi yasentwasahlobo nenyanga ka-Abibi. Ngakho, uNkulunkulu ngokuhlakanipha Kwakhe wamisa iziqalo zeminyaka emibili eminyakeni engu-3500 edlule, incazelo yayo engokwesiprofetho eyayingeke isuswe ukubethela kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi ngocwaningo lwe-Orion kanye nokufundwa koMkhumbi Wesikhathi.

Ngewashi le-Orion safunda izinsuku zonyaka, singazi ukuthi unyaka uzoqala nini. Kodwa kwakuhlale kunezinto ezimbili, kungaba ngePhasika entwasahlobo noma ngoSuku Lokubuyisana ekwindla. Kodwa leli qiniso lasiphunyuka, futhi savele sacabanga ukuthi unyaka uqala ngemikhosi yasentwasahlobo. Manje sesazi kangcono futhi siyaqonda ukuthi iwashi le-Orion lilandela umjikelezo wesabatha, futhi lokhu kunemiphumela emikhulu yokunemba kokugcwaliseka kweziprofetho ezithile nezikhathi zesikhathi.

Ngakho uma sifunda usuku ewashini le-Orion, sidinga ukuqonda ukuthi lo nyaka uqala ekwindla nangosuku lwe-Yom Kippur lonyaka ofanele futhi awupheli kuze kube unyaka olandelayo, ngo-Yom Kippur. Nokho, eMkhunjini Wesikhathi, sifunda iminyaka njengoba iqala entwasahlobo ngokugcwaliseka kokuqala okungenzeka kwePhasika futhi iqhubeke kuze kube iPhasika elilandelayo. Kuyathakazelisa (futhi lokhu mhlawumbe kuyindaba yesinye isihloko) INkonzo KaJesu “Ekuzwiniseni KwamaVangeli” encwadini yethu ethi Ukuphawula KweBhayibheli iqala ePhasikeni kuya ePhasikeni, nezenzakalo ezimbalwa ezibalwe phakathi nezinyanga zakhe zokuqala eziyisithupha zenkonzo eyaqala ekwindla.

Kungenzeka yini ukuthi inkonzo yeminyaka emithathu nengxenye yabangu-144,000 ifanekisela Inkonzo kaKristu njengomfuziselo, kusukela ekuBuyiselweni kuya Ekuhlawuleni nokubambezeleka okuyingxenye yonyaka?

Kusukela ekuqaleni kokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo ngoMeyi 5/6, 2012, bonke abadala abangu-24 babehlezi ngasikhathi sinye emibuthanweni emibili bezungeza isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu isikhathi soguquko esimiswe uNkulunkulu. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ukwahlulelwa kwabafileyo kwakungakaqedwa futhi amaphayona ama-Adventist angokomfanekiso ayesahlezi ezindaweni zawo ngesikhathi esifanayo uKwahlulelwa kwase kuqalile kwabaphilayo kanye nabadala abangu-12 abavezwa njengezinkanyezi ezingu-12 zomqhele wowesifazane nabo base behlezi ezihlalweni zabo.

Kuyokwenzekani NgoSuku Lokuhlawulela Ngo-2012?

Nakuba abazalwane bethu be-SDA behleka ngokudumazeka kwethu okuncane entwasahlobo ka-2012, thina, njengamaphayona ama-Adventist, saqhubeka sifuna iqiniso futhi savuzwa. Saqaphela ukuthi ngokwewashi le-Orion, elithi “2012” lalingeke liqale kuze kube sekwindla ka-2012 futhi liyoqhubeka kuze kube sekwindla ka-2013. Siyaqonda futhi ukuthi inkonzo yethu kufanele ifanekisele inkonzo kaJesu yeminyaka emithathu nengxenye esemhlabeni, futhi safunda izenzakalo zezinyanga eziyisithupha zokuqala zikaJesu ukuze sithole ukuthi kwakunokuvumelana cishe okuphelele nenkonzo yethu. Zimbalwa kakhulu izinto ezenzeka engxenyeni yokuqala yenkonzo kaJesu yasemhlabeni, kodwa izinto ezenzekayo ziwumfuziselo ofanelekayo kithi. Uma noma ubani efuna ukuzifundela, angabheka ethi “Harmony of the Gospels” kuyi-Adventist Bible Commentary, uMqulu 5, amakhasi 196 - 201. Labo abayoba phakathi kwabayi-144,000 XNUMX maduze bazofunda kithi lokho okwenzekile kulezi zinyanga eziyisithupha ezidlule kanye nathi.

Isenzakalo esikhulu esaduma ngempela enkonzweni kaJesu emhlabeni sasiwukuhlanzwa kwakhe kokuqala kwethempeli ngePhasika lika AD 28. Ngaleso sikhathi, uJesu waxosha bonke abathengisi ethempelini, elalihlazise indlu kaYise. Ngakho-ke siqoqa ukuthi kuzophinde kube nokuhlanzwa kwethempeli leBandla le-SDA, lapho labo ababona ibandla njengebhizinisi kuphela bayokhishwa ngaphandle. Konke lokhu kuzoqala kugudluzwe isigamu sonyaka, njengoba ukubala kwethu konyaka kuqala ekwindla ngoSuku Lokubuyisana hhayi ngePhasika entwasahlobo. Ngokuthakazelisayo, iningi “labadala” manje liseParaguay, lapho izinkathi zonyaka ziphambene khona neNyakatho Nenkabazwe. USuku Lokubuyisana “luwumkhosi wasentwasahlobo” kithi, njengoba lalinjalo iPhasika ngosuku lukaJesu eJerusalema.

Uma sibheka uhlobo lukaJesu lokuhlanzwa kwethempeli, khona-ke kufanele kwenzeke isenzakalo esithile esimthukuthelisa kangangokuthi ekugcineni aqale ukuvala umnyango womusa weBandla le-SDA, futhi ahlulele lonke iThempeli leBandla elinesikweletu esikhulu ngokulinganayo njengokukhandwa ngamatshe kukaStefanu noma ukwenqatshwa kweqiniso leSabatha. Kumelwe kube yinto embi kakhulu, iBandla lama-SDA lavala ngayo isiphetho sakhe. Kufanele kufane ngisho nokona kukaMoya oNgcwele.

Kungaba umthetho wangeSonto? Cha, ngoba asikaluhlaziyi ngokuphelele uphawu “lwezinkanyezi ezingu-12 emqhele wesifazane”. Ubani kulesi sikhathi emva koSuku Lokubuyisana ngo-2012 ongumphrofethi omemezelayo futhi ubani ozoqoqwa? Ukuze sikuqonde lokhu, kufanele siqale sikhumbule ukuthi kusenomunye umnyango ovulekile, nokho umnyango womusa ozovalwa: umnyango ovulekile ungowoMphongolo wokushiya le planethi ubheke e-Orion, futhi umnyango womusa waso sonke isintu uvalwa ngokwezifundo zethu ngemva nje kokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo. UNkulunkulu uzophinde amemezele ukuvalwa kwalomnyango wokugcina womusa ngokumemezela- nokuqoqa abaprofethi.

U-Ellen G. White waprofetha ukuthi umlayezo wengelosi yesine wawuyohlangana nomyalezo wengelosi yesithathu, nokuthi lokhu kuyoba ukukhala okukhulu, lapho uNkulunkulu ebiza emasontweni aseBhabhiloni owokugcina kwabathembekile. Lapha, kuyoba khona amaqoqo amabili phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe zomhlaba... ukuqoqwa kwabayi-144,000 abangeke bakubone ukufa, nokuqoqwa kwabafel’ ukholo, abangakaqedi isibalo sabalandela ngemva kwabo. Njengoba nje ukukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili kwaba “umphrofethi” omemezelayo, owaxwayisa ngokuthi umnyango womusa wawuzovalwa emphakathini wamaKrestu, isililo esikhulu singumphrofethi omemezela sonke isintu.

Kuyo, izigijimi zezingelosi ezimbili zihlangene: umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu, oxwayisa ngokwamukelwa kophawu lwesilo (lweSonto) nomyalezo wengelosi yesine, nawo oletha isici sesikhathi esisebenza futhi esiwumgogodla odingekayo owakha isimilo somlandeli kaKristu. Umlayezo wengelosi yesine ubuye ukhombise imiphumela emibi ukwehluleka ngisho noyedwa kwabayi-144,000 okwakuyohilela uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe nomhlaba wonke.

Uyini umgomo wokukhala okukhulu? Ukubekwa uphawu kwabangu-144,000 9, abafel’ ukholo, neQembu Elikhulu! Ngakho, ubani “umprofethi oqoqileyo”? Ngokusobala, lowo obeka uphawu, uMoya oNgcwele uqobo, indoda enogwalo lukayinki kaHezekeli XNUMX (funda ngokucophelela!). Ngakho-ke noma ubani owehluleka ukulalela ukukhala okukhulu uyobe wone ngokuqondile kuMoya oNgcwele, njengoba kwakunjalo kuzo zonke izigaba zesu lensindiso ngaphambili. Kuyathakazelisa futhi ukuthi uJesu ngokwakhe wasebenza njengomuntu ekuguqukeni kokuqala kwamaJuda ebuKristwini futhi manje esebenzisa uzakwabo otholakala yonke indawo, uMoya oNgcwele.

Futhi manje umuntu kufanele acabange futhi ngokucophelela! Kusho ukuthini ukuhlanganiswa kwengelosi yesithathu neyesine ukuba ikhiphe ukukhala okukhulu? Uyoqala nini ukuvalwa umnyango womusa wesintu? Iluphi uvivinyo olufeza lokhu kuhlungwa kokugcina kwesintu? Wonke ama-Adventist ayazi: Umthetho weSonto, ozokwenza ukugcinwa kweSabatha kube nzima kakhulu! IBandla le-SDA njengokunyakaza kwengelosi yesithathu liye laxwayiswa iminyaka engu-168 ngomthetho weSonto wembulunga yonke osondelayo, ozoqala-ikakhulukazi e-US Kodwa akekho owayengaluthola uphawu lwesilo okwamanje, ngoba lo mthetho udinga ukuba khona ukuze umuntu awele ngakho. Ngakho-ke, isigaba sokuqala sokuvalwa komnyango womusa womhlaba wonke hhayi ukuvalwa komnyango womusa weBandla leSDA njengoba abaningi becabanga. Bonke abantu bazovivinywa ngomthetho wangeSonto hhayi amalungu eBandla lamaSDA kuphela. Okunye okumele kwenzeke okuletha ukuvalwa komnyango womusa weBandla leSDA ngaphambi nje kokufika komthetho wangeSonto—into yokugcina nembi njengokwamukelwa kweSonto.

Ukuphela kwesiqephu sika-Ellen G. White esihlala sisetshenziswa ukukhombisa ukuthi umnyango womusa uyavalwa eBandleni lama-Adventist emthethweni weSonto umi kanje:

Izikhundla eziphukile zizogcwaliswa yilabo abamelelwe uKristu njengabangena ngehora leshumi nanye. Baningi uMoya kaNkulunkulu osebenza nabo. Isikhathi sezahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu ezibhubhisayo sesi isikhathi somusa kulabo [manje] abangenalo ithuba lokufunda okuyiqiniso. INkosi iyobabheka ngomusa. Inhliziyo Yakhe yomusa ithintwa, Isandla Sakhe sisaluliwe ukusindisa, kanti umnyango uvaliwe kulabo abangangenanga. Kuzokwamukelwa amanani amakhulu labo abaqala ukuzwa iqiniso kulezi zinsuku zokugcina.— Incwadi 103, 1903. {I-LDE 182.2}

Kuyiqiniso impela ukuthi esikhathini esincane sosizi ngaphambi nje kokuvalwa komnyango wesihe esintwini, umnyango womusa uyovalwa eBandleni lama-Adventist. Kodwa asikho isisekelo sesiphetho sokuthi ukuvalwa komnyango womusa weBandla lama-Adventist kwakuyobangelwa umthetho wangeSonto. Ukuthi awukwazi ukufunda kulesi sicaphuno noma ngabe uzama kangakanani.

Ngokuphambene, isimemezelo somthetho wangeSonto osekunesikhathi silindelwe sihlanganisa isenzo sokugcina somdlalo futhi singenisa ukuvalwa komnyango womusa wesintu, okufanele wonke umuntu abhekane naloluvivinyo, ukuze wonke umuntu athathe isinqumo sokuma noEmanuweli noma isitha semiphefumulo.

Ukuqedela isithombe sezinkanyezi emqhele wowesifazane, kufanele sizibuze umbuzo: yisiphi isenzakalo esibi ekugcineni esivala umnyango wesihe esintwini? Futhi, singakwazi ukuhlonza okungenzeka kakhulu ngokobufakazi bukaMoya wesiProfethi, futhi kuhambisana nokukhandwa ngamatshe kukaStefanu ngamaJuda: isimemezelo sokufa sokugcina sokubhujiswa okuphelele kwabaligcina iSabatha. Kuhle futhi ukuthi siyazi ukuthi lokhu kubulawa ngokohlobo lukaEsteri nakho kuzohlehliswa cishe unyaka owodwa, lapho iZishayo ziwa khona, lapho abayizi-144,000 XNUMX, abanoPhawu lukaNkulunkulu olukhethekile, beyodlula kulesi sikhathi bephila.

Manje sisabhekene nombuzo wokuthi yiliphi icala elibi elenziwa iBandla le-SDA ngo-Yom Kippur 2012 ukuze liqale ukuvala unomphela umnyango walo womusa e-Orion Nebula, limvimbele unomphela ukubuka kwakhe endaweni engcwele yasezulwini. Ukuphendula lokhu, kufanele sibheke futhi umbuzo wokuthi lunini ngempela uSuku Lokuhlawulela ngo-2012....

Lunini uSuku Lokuhlawulela ngo-2012?

Ngakho-ke manje siyaqonda ukuthi iminyaka ephawulwe ku-Orion idlula iminyaka ephawulwe eMkhunjini Wesikhathi ngesigamu sonyaka, ngakho-ke singabona ngokunengqondo ukuthi ukwahlulela kwabafileyo, okwaqala e-Orion ngo-Okthoba 22, 1844, ngeke kuqedwe kuze kube yikwindla ka-2012 nge-Yom Kippur. Lokhu kuzoba ukuqedwa kwenkathi yeminyaka eyi-168, eyaprofethwa nguJesu uqobo esifungweni sikaDaniyeli 12. NgoMkhumbi Wesikhathi, siphinde sathola ukuthi ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo kwaqala ngoMeyi 5/6, 2012 ngePhasika lesibili okungenzeka ukuthi lika-2012, ukuhamba isikhathi esiyizinsuku eziyi-1260. Lokhu kugqagqana futhi kumelela inkathi yenguquko ukusuka kolunye uphawu lowesifazane wesAmbulo 12 kuya kolunye. Ukugqagqana kwesigamu sonyaka sezigaba zokwahlulelwa ngokulandelana ukusuka kumqhele kuya ezinkanyezini eziyi-12 emqhele. Lezi zinkanyezi ezingu-12 ezisemqheleni wowesifazane aziyona inhlangano entsha ye-SDA, kodwa zimane nje ezinye zazo, ezaqala ukuzwa ukukhanya okusha ngokuzwa izwi likaJesu futhi zaqonda ngosizo lukaMoya oNgcwele ukukudlulisela kwabanye.

Ngaluphi uSuku Lokuhlawulela ngo-2012, kufanele siqale ngalo ukuhlanzwa kwethempeli leSDA? Siyazi kusukela Emkhunjini Wesikhathi kanye nekhalenda elitholwe kabusha likaNkulunkulu ku Isifundo seGetsemane ukuthi kunezinsuku ezimbili ezingenzeka zoSuku Lokuhlawulela. Omunye angase athi ibhali latholakala ngo-2012 ngenyanga yokuqala okungenzeka ngayo futhi ngaleyo ndlela uSepthemba 27/28 kufanele athathwe njengosuku lokubuyisana. Kodwa sifundile eMgudwini Wesikhathi ukuthi amaSabatha aphezulu kaNkulunkulu abaluleke kakhulu. Futhi ukuBuyisana okungenzeka kwesibili kulo nyaka empeleni kuyiSabatha Eliphakeme kangaka. Kuyoba ngo-October 26/27, 2012, okuwusuku lwesikhombisa lwesonto! Ngakho-ke, kufanele sibheke umcimbi ozokwenzeka ngalolo suku futhi onzima kangangokuthi uNkulunkulu uzoqala ukuvala umnyango wesihe weBandla le-SDA.

Kuzokwenzekani? Iyini iNkosi—eyenza ngamaSabatha aPhakamileyo—izokwenza lolu suku phambili ukuze yahlulele ibandla Layo ekwahluleleni kwabaphilayo? Asazi!

Kodwa siyazi ukuthi iBandla leSDA libhekene nokushaqeka okukhulu. Siyazi ukuthi inhliziyo yakhe isivele yachithwa yizihlubuki eziningi kanye nokungenwa amaJesuit ebuholini. Siyazi ukuthi iningi lama-Adventist namuhla lifana nezwe njengawo wonke umhlaba futhi awasehlukile kumaKristu enkolo noma “amaqaba”. Kodwa futhi siyazi ukuthi uMoya wesiprofetho wathi liyohlanzwa. Noma kunjalo, lokhu akusho ukuthi bangaki abayosala ngemva kokuhlanzwa!

Umlayezo woMkhumbi Wesikhathi ukhombisa ukuphela kweBandla le-SDA elihlelekile ngo-2012 ngamahlandla amathathu ahambisanayo neminyaka ka-1861-1863. Ngaleyo minyaka, igama lesonto lethu lavotelwa, futhi kwasungulwa inhlangano yesonto. Kukhona okuqale kule minyaka emithathu ephela ngo-2010-2012. U-Ellen G. White wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi igama leBandla leSDA lakhethwa uNkulunkulu futhi laphefumulelwa.

SingamaSeventh-day Adventist. Ingabe sinamahloni ngegama lethu? Siyaphendula, “Cha, cha! Akunjalo. Yigama uJehova asinike lona. Ibonisa iqiniso okufanele libe uvivinyo lwamasonto.”— Incwadi 110, 1902.2SM 384.1}

Kumayelana “nosuku Lwesikhombisa” egameni lebandla, okuyoba uvivinyo. Mina nabanye babangane bami sacabanga okwesikhashana ukuthi lokhu kungase kubonise ukuthi iBandla leSDA lingashintsha igama lalo ngaphansi kwengcindezi yomthetho wangeSonto, nokuthi inhlangano yayizophela uma bengayiqamba elinye igama elingeke licasule amabandla oHlelo Lomhlaba Omusha. Ukuguqulwa kwegama lisuka elithi “Seventh-day Adventist Church” liye “leBandla lama-Adventist kuphela” kungaba ukukhaphela uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe owaqamba leli gama. Kungaba futhi ukukhaphela iSabatha, isibonakaliso sikaNkulunkulu kubantu baKhe!

Lapho iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist lizokhaphela ngisho neSabatha egameni labo, khona-ke ngokuqinisekile ukuqala kokuphela kwalababantu kwakuyobe sekufikile. Kodwa ingabe iBandla leSDA kufanele ngempela liguqule igama lalo lapho umthetho wangeSonto ufika ukuze uvumelane nokukhulekela kwangeSonto? Cha, ngisho no-“cha” ocacile! Kungoba upapa ngokwawo sekuyisikhathi eside ukhuluma encwadini yawo yezenkolo ngeSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa, ebhekise ngeSonto! Yonke indawo abantu bafundiswa ukuthi iSonto wusuku lwesikhombisa lwesonto. Sekunamazwe amaningi anamakhalenda aqala isonto ngoMsombuluko. Kulula ukuthi, “Thina maSeventh-day Adventist siphatha usuku lwesikhombisa lwesonto njengosuku olungcwele lokuphumula,” kodwa namuhla lokho akusabonwa njengokulahlwa ngokuqondile kweSonto, ngoba incazelo yaleli gama isihlanekezelwe ngokuphelele. Ngisho nabagcini beSabatha benyanga, abagcina iSabatha nyanga zonke ngosuku oluhlukile lwesonto bazibiza ngokuthi “amaSeventh-day Adventist” ngoba phakathi nenyanga bagcina usuku lokuphumula njalo ngosuku lwesikhombisa. Ngakho kungani ubuholi obuhlubukayo bungenza igama lishintshe ukuze nje bavuse umdondoshiya olele, kuyilapho bekwazi ukuma kahle negama elidala futhi bangalokothi bangqubuzane NoHlelo Lomhlaba Omusha?

Nokho, ngokoMkhumbulo Wesikhathi kumelwe kube ukuthi igama elaqanjwa nguNkulunkulu ngo-1861-1863 linento yokwenza nalo kanye nokungcoliswa kweSabatha, futhi kumelwe kwenziwe ngokucasha kangangokuthi futhi iningi lezimvu ze-SDA ezilele aziboni ukuthi uNkulunkulu wazo ucasulwe kangangokuthi uze ushaya umnyango ebandleni laKhe.

Ukukhaphela uMdali neSabatha Lakhe

Njengoba saziqaphela zonke lezi zinto, kwadingeka kuphela ukusesha kwe-Google ukuze sithole ukuthi yibuphi ubugebengu ubuholi bamaJesuit be-SDAC obuhlela umhla zingama-27 kuMfumfu wezi-2012, ukuze bonke abeseka noma abavumelana nalokhu kukhashelwa kukaNkulunkulu baholelwe ekubhujisweni kwaphakade. Futhi kwangithinta kakhulu inhliziyo lapho ngiqaphela ukuthi ngase ngibhale ngalokhu isihluku lapha ngoMeyi 14, 2010 futhi waxwayisa kuwebhusayithi yami ngokusondela kwayo okubi. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngase ngivele ngithathe lokho abaningi ababekubona njengomyalezo ongemuhle esikhungweni sabezindaba se-SDA saseJalimane othi “Usuku Lokudala” manje kufanele lugcinwe njengengxenye ye-Ecumenical Movement ngoLwesihlanu lokuqala kuSepthemba. I-German SDA Church nayo yayiphawule ngalokhu futhi yanyathelisa esihlokweni esifanayo sokuthi iSonto Lama-Seventh-day Adventist ligubha uSuku Lokudala ekupheleni kuka-October.

Ngangesaba ukufa, ngoba kwakusobala ukuthi iSabatha ngalinye liyisikhumbuzo sendalo noMdali, hhayi nje iSabatha elilodwa ngonyaka! Ukuphuca ukukhulekela kweSabatha inkumbulo yoMdali kungaba ukungcoliswa kweSabatha okungenakulinganiswa. Ukubona usuku lokuphumula lwamasonto onke njengosuku lokuphumula lwendoda njengosuku lomkhaya noma njengosuku lokuzilibazisa emsebenzini kuwumkhuba wamaKatolika. Ngale ndlela, uJohn Paul II wayeselethula encwadini yakhe enedumela elibi elithi “Dies Domini” ngo-1998—lolo suku akulona nje elokudumisa uNkulunkulu, kodwa olwabantu kuphela.

Kodwa thina maSeventh-day Adventist kufanele sazi kangcono. Ngaphandle kokukopisha amakhulu ezingcaphuno ezivela ku-Ellen G. White ngakho, ngifuna ukuphinde ngikukhumbuze umbhalo wokuqala womyalo wesine:

Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ukulungcwelisa. Izinsuku eziyisithupha uyakusebenza, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho, kepha usuku lwesikhombisa luyisabatha likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; Ukuze ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, nolwandle, nakho konke okukukho, waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa; ngalokho uJehova walubusisa usuku lwesabatha, walungcwelisa. ( Eksodusi 20:8-11 )

Yiwona kuphela umyalo oqala ngobizo lokukhumbula: “Khumbula usuku lweSabatha.” Kungani kufanele siyikhumbule? Ukuze ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova wadala, waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa!

Futhi kungani uJehova wabusisa usuku lweSabatha futhi walwenza lwaba ngcwele? Ngoba umuntu udinga ikhefu emsebenzini njalo ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa ukuze athole iwashi lakhe lemvelo? Ngoba obaba badinga ukudlala nezingane zabo kanye njalo ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa? Ngoba uma kungenjalo siyagula? Ngoba sizohlanya? Ngoba uma kungenjalo imishado yethu ingaba sengozini? Cha, umyalo kungenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu waphumula emsebenzini Wakhe wokudala ngalolu suku. Kufanele sichithe lolu suku noNkulunkulu futhi ngempela sikhumbula indalo yakhe emangalisayo, futhi lokho, ngamaSabatha angama-52 unyaka wonke.

Kodwa noma ubani omemezela iSabatha elilodwa kuphela njengesikhumbuzo sendalo wenza ukuvukela uJehova 51 amanye amaSabatha oMdali. Wephula iSabatha izikhathi ezingu-51 ngonyaka lapho kanye kwakuyokwanela ukuba necala lokwephula yonke imiyalo! Uma inhlangano yebandla lonke—egama layo vele liqukethe iSabatha ngokuphefumulelwa nguNkulunkulu uMdali, nokubaluleka nobungcwele obedlulele beSabatha bakhonjwa ngamakhulu emibono nobufakazi boMoya Wesiprofetho—ingaba nesibindi sokungcolisa iSabatha ngale ndlela, kungaba impama ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu kangangokuthi naye ubengayiphendula.

“Kuhle,” ngacabanga ngo-May 2010, “yiNyunyana YaseNyakatho Jalimane yeSonto Lama-SDA kuphela, esesingene ngokuphelele enkolweni yamabandla, ephinde yamemezela ngokungenamahloni usuku lokudala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abazange bakhulume ngisho nangendalo ISabatha, kodwa indalo kuphela usuku.” Noma kunjalo, ngenze isitatimende esicishe sibe yisiprofetho esihlokweni sami:

Basenethuba lokuthi uNkulunkulu abathethelele, ngisho nebandla lakhe likaJudas. Kodwa maduze nje umnyango wesihe uzovalwa kubo bonke, abakholelwa ukuthi uSuku Lokudala lungoLwesihlanu lokuqala kuSeptember futhi bagcine iSonto, uphawu lwesilo, bese bephinda belila ndawonye:

Ingelosi yesithathu yabalandela, ithi ngezwi elikhulu: “Uma umuntu ekhuleka isilo nomfanekiso waso, amukele uphawu lwakhe ebunzini lakhe noma esandleni sakhe, yena uyakuphuza iwayini lolaka lukaNkulunkulu, elithululwa ngaphandle kwengxube etsheni yentukuthelo yakhe; futhi uyohlushwa ngomlilo nesibabule phambi kwezingelosi ezingcwele naphambi kweWundlu: Futhi umusi wokuhlushwa kwabo wenyuka kuze kube phakade naphakade: futhi abanakuphumula imini nobusuku, labo abakhonza isilo nomfanekiso waso, futhi noma ubani owamukela uphawu lwegama laso. ( IsAmbulo 14:9-11 )

Ngabe sengibheka i-google ngo-Okthoba 27, 2012 ngifuna ukwazi ukuthi ngabe kukhona yini okwamenyezelwa yi-Worldwide SDA Church ngalolo suku okungenzeka kuhlobene nokukhashelwa okubi kangaka kwegama lakhe, ngabe sengikuthola...

Ngokungazi kweningi lama-Adventist, uSathane ukwazile ukwenza iBandla le-SDA likhaphele igama lalo elinikezwe nguNkulunkulu, umsebenzi walo wokumemezela isigijimi sengelosi yesithathu, ubizo lwawo noNkulunkulu wabo, uNkulunkulu weSabatha... futhi konke lokhu ngisho nangeSABATHA ELIPHEZULU, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, elokuhlawulelwa, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho ngosuku lapho kwakungukuqala kokuvalwa komusa komnyango walo wokuprofetha.

Isimo samaJuda angakholwa sibonisa isimo sokunganaki nabangakholwa phakathi kwamaKristu okuzisholo, abangenalwazi ngokuzithandela ngomsebenzi womPristi wethu Omkhulu onesihawu. Enkonzweni yenkonzo, lapho umpristi omkhulu engena endaweni engcwelengcwele, wonke u-Israyeli kwakufanele ahlangane endaweni engcwele futhi ngendlela enesizotha kakhulu bathobe imiphefumulo yabo phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ukuze bathole ukuxolelwa izono zabo futhi banganqunywa ebandleni. Kubaluleke kakhulu kangakanani kulolu suku olungokomfanekiso Lokubuyisana ukuthi siqonde umsebenzi womPristi wethu Omkhulu futhi sazi ukuthi yimiphi imisebenzi edingekayo kithi.

Abantu abanakwenqaba ngokunganaki isixwayiso abathunyelwa nguNkulunkulu ngomusa. Isigijimi sathunyelwa emhlabeni sivela ezulwini ngosuku lukaNowa, futhi ukusindiswa kwabo kwakuxhomeke endleleni abasiphatha ngayo leso sigijimi. Ngenxa yokuthi basenqaba isixwayiso, uMoya kaNkulunkulu wahoxiswa esizweni esinesono, futhi babhubha emanzini kaZamcolo. Ngesikhathi sika-Abrahama, umusa wayeka ukuncenga kanye nezakhamuzi ezinecala zaseSodoma, futhi bonke ngaphandle kukaLoti nomkakhe namadodakazi amabili baqedwa ngomlilo ovela ezulwini. Ngakho ezinsukwini zikaKristu. INdodana kaNkulunkulu yamemezela kumaJuda angakholwa aleso sizukulwane: “Indlu yenu isisala nani.” Mathewu 23:38 . Lapho sibheka phansi ezinsukwini zokugcina, wona lawo Mandla Angenasiphelo afanayo ayamemezela, ngokuphathelene nalabo “abangazange bamukele uthando lweqiniso, ukuze basindiswe”: “Ngenxa yalokhu uNkulunkulu uyakubathumelela ukuduka okunamandla, ukuze bakholwe amanga, ukuze balahlwe bonke abangakholwanga iqiniso, kepha bejabulela ukungalungi. 2 Thesalonika 2:10-12 . Njengoba benqaba izimfundiso zezwi Lakhe, uNkulunkulu uyawususa uMoya Wakhe futhi abashiyele ezinkohlisweni abazithandayo. {GC 430.3–431.1}

Futhi ngophawu lwabo baze balokothe ​​bacaphune uJohane 1 bethi uJesu uyiZwi likaNkulunkulu owadala konke, okuzobhujiswa ngokushesha ngezinhlupho—futhi ngeZwi lakhe. Yeka ukuthi kudabukisa kanjani konke lokhu!

Ngingasho futhi ukuthi iBandla lama-SDA lakhashelwa ngubani futhi yini noma ubani ngempela osemva “kweSabatha Lokudala”?

Uyazi ngokuqinisekile noma cha? Ucabanga ukuthi yi-ecumenism, ngoba ngabhala ngalokho esihlokweni sika-2010 mayelana noSuku Lokudala? Bese ubona lokhu esihlokweni kusukela ngoSepthemba 2, 2007. Ngalolo suku, uPapa uBenedict XVI wamemezela usuku lomhlaba wonke lokuhlenga indalo, "Usuku Lokulondoloza Indalo". Qhathanisa amazwi ekhasi lasekhaya leNgqungquthela Jikelele elithi “iSabatha Lokudala” emazwini omlandeli kaSathane kuleso sihloko esithi “Londoloza Usuku Lokudala” futhi ekugcineni uzoqaphela ukuthi iNgqungquthela Jikelele yenza lokho okuyalelwa isilo sokuqala seSambulo 13.

Ngike ngaphenya yonke ingosi yeNgqungquthela Jikelele ngeSabatha Lokudala ngizama ukuthola isihloko noma intshumayelo engabonisa ukuthi iSabatha ladluliselwa yiBandla LamaRoma laya ngeSonto futhi maduze lokho kuzoba ukuvivinywa kokwethembeka kwethu kuNkulunkulu ngemithetho yangeSonto: Cha, akukho lutho! Kodwa ngathola izihloko nezintshumayelo eziningi, eziningi zazo ezazingalifaki ngisho negama elithi “iSabatha!” Sikhuluma “ngeSabatha Lokudala” kodwa iSabatha ngokwalo liyaphikwa kakhulu. Sicela uthathe inkinga futhi uzifunele wena!

Ngabe awukaqiniseki ngokuphelele ukuthi i-General Conference iyanikeza kuphela leli Sabatha ukubaluleka okufanele wonke amaSabatha abe nakho ngokuhambisana nomthetho wesine ku-Eksodusi 20? Funda futhi lokho okubhalwe ekhasini lokuqala elithi www.creationssabbath.net:

Ngakho-ke, kungani, ezinkonzweni zethu zokukhulekela, sigxile kuNkulunkulu njengoMdali wethu nokuthi lokhu kusho ukuthini kithi ekuphileni kwethu kwansuku zonke?

iSabatha, Okthoba 27, 2012, eliqokwe njengeSabatha Lendalo, lithi:

• “indlela yokuvuma ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguMdali wethu kanye nemiphumela le mfundiso yeBhayibheli enayo kithi . . . .
• ukuze kwakhiwe umuzwa wobunye womhlaba wonke ekuthuthukiseni le nkolelo ngendlela eqondile.”

Ungafunda ku-WCC (World Council of Churches) ikhasi lewebhu ngosuku lokudalwa okushiwo "umuzwa wobunye womhlaba wonke" okushiwo. Imayelana nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke, kanye nokungcoliswa kwemvelo njengodaba lwawo wonke amabandla enkolo. Kuphinde kube yilokhu uPapa uBenedict asevele akuveza ngo-2007. Eqinisweni akukona okoMdali, kodwa okwesintu esizocekela phansi imvelo yakhe. “Usuku Lokulondoloza Indalo” lukapapa, noma inkulumo yakhe ethi “Indalo” ewumphumela wenkolo yobukholwa iyindaba engathi sína emasontweni aseBabiloni, kodwa ukuthi iSonto Lama-Seventh-day Adventist lilokotha lingcolise iSabatha livumelana nesimemezelo sikapapa liwushaya nakanjani umnyango wesihe kulo.

Ingabe uzosabela njengomunye “wabangane” bama-Adventist bomunye wabahlanganyeli bami, owasabela olwazini lomfowethu mayelana “neSabatha Lokudala” elizofika maduze kanye nezingozi zalo kanje?

Sawubona J.,

Ngiwubhekile umsebenzi futhi ngemizamo yami emihle angikwazanga ukuthola umkhondo wenkinga ngokuthatha iSabatha elithile ukuklama ngokukhethekile ukudumisa nokudumisa uMdali.

Ngokuphambene nalokho:

Iqiniso lokuthi emazweni asentshonalanga amanye ama-Adventist ayangabaza endalweni, kwenza umqondo ophelele ukubeka i-counterweight enganikeza ubumbano nokujwayela okungenani phakathi kwabangakazinziswanga. Lapha ibandla lonke lihileleke nalo: kusukela ezinganeni kuya kubantu abadala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iBhayibheli lisitshela ukuthi lolu suku lwenzelwe lokhu kanye (Eks. 20:11). Ngaphezu kwalokho, kugcizelelwa kakhulu lapha ngokumelene neSonto, uma kungaqinisekiswa ukuthi umcimbi uzomenyezelwa kakhulu.

Ngakho-ke leli yicala elifanele ukwesekwa futhi okufanele uye kulo ngokuphelele!

Ngikholwa ukuthi weqe uphawu kulokhu.

Ozithobayo,

S.

Uma ucabanga ukuthi umJuda wayekhandwa ngamatshe aze afe ngezikhathi zeBhayibheli lapho etheza izinkuni ngeSabatha, khona-ke umzalwane oyisiwula weSDA uyomangala, okungenzeka ame egameni leningi lama-Adventist OCTOBER 27, 2012, ISABATHA ELIPHEZULU LUSUKU LOKUBUYISELWA ELIPHAWULA UKUPHELA KOKWAHLULELA KWABAFILEYO EMINYAKA EYI-168.—“kusukela ebantwaneni kuye kwabadala” kuhlanganisiwe—uyogxuma njengamadwala enkohlakalo ngokuhlazisa uMdali azi noma engazi, obusise futhi wangcwelisa iSabatha ngalinye njengeSabatha Lendalo.

Amazwi uNkulunkulu awakhuluma kumprofethi uHezekeli, ukuze aqondise indlu kaNkulunkulu yangaphambili, atholé ukusebenza kwawo okokugcina eBandleni leSDA namuhla:

Ndodana yomuntu, yisho kuyo ukuthi: Wena uyizwe elingahlanjululwanga, elinganiselwanga ngosuku lwentukuthelo. Kukhona uzungu lwabaprofethi bawo phakathi kwawo njengengonyama ebhongayo edwengula impango; badlile imiphefumulo; bathathé ingcebo nezinto eziyigugu; bandise abafelokazi balo phakathi kwawo. Abapristi balo bephule umthetho wami, bangcolisile izinto zami ezingcwele; abenzanga umehluko phakathi kokungcwele nokungcolile, futhi ababonisi umehluko phakathi kokungcolile nokuhlambulukileyo bafihle amehlo abo kumasabatha ami; futhi ngingcolisiwe phakathi kwabo. Izikhulu zawo phakathi kwawo zinjengezimpisi ezidwengula impango, ukuchitha igazi, nokubhubhisa imiphefumulo, ukuthola inzuzo yokungathembeki. Abaprofethi bawo babanamekele ngodaka olungenamvubelo, bebona okuyize, bebhula amanga kubo, bethi: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova,’ kube uJehova engakhulumanga. Tabantu bezwe basebenzise ukucindezela, baphangile, bahlukumeza abampofu nabampofu, bacindezela umfokazi ngokungeyikho.

Ngafuna phakathi kwabo umuntu ongamisa uthango, ame esikhaleni phambi kwami ​​ngenxa yezwe, ukuba ngingalichithi; kodwa angitholanga lutho. Ngalokho ngithulule ukufutheka kwami ​​phezu kwabo; ngibaqedile ngomlilo wokufutheka kwami, ngehlisela indlela yabo phezu kwamakhanda abo, isho iNkosi uJehova. ( Hezekeli 22:24-31 )

Kungani isijeziso sikaNkulunkulu singakafiki?

[Isengezo, Septemba 11, 2013]

UNkulunkulu unomusa futhi ulungile. U-Ellen G. White wake wathi entshumayelweni yakhe:

“Umuntu othile wayenomkhiwane utshalwe esivinini sakhe; weza wadinga isithelo kuwo, kodwa akasitholanga. Wayesethi kuso isisebenzi sesivini: ‘Bheka, sekuyiminyaka emithathu ngiza ngifuna isithelo kulo mkhiwane, ngingasifumani; uwutheleleni umhlabathi na? Yaphendula yathi kuye: “Nkosi, wuyeke nangalo nyaka, ngize ngimbe emaceleni awo, ngithele umquba; uma uthela isithelo, kuhle; uma kungenjalo, uyakuwugawula emva kwalokho. Luka 13:6-9 .

Isizwe samaJuda sasifanekiselwa umkhiwane uNkulunkulu ayewutshale esivinini sakhe. Lababantu wayezithathele kubo njengabakhe. Babethole umusa omkhulu ngezibusiso zesikhashana nezomoya, futhi wabheka kubo ukuthi baveze izithelo zokulunga. Unyaka nonyaka wayefika kubo enethemba lokuthola izithelo kodwa akatholanga lutho. Wayesenesikhathi eside ebekezela. UJustice wayenxuse, “Linqume; kungani uwunyakazisa umhlabathi na?” Kodwa umusa wanxusa ukuba kuphinde kuvivinywe. UMlungisi wesivini uzokwenza omunye umzamo wokusindisa isihlahla esingatheli. INdodana kaNkulunkulu iyofika mathupha ukuncenga abantu abakhethiweyo. Uzozithathela ubuntu wabeka phambi kwabo isibonelo sempilo yakhe. Uma lokhu kwehluleka ukubaletha ekuphendukeni, kuwuvivinyo lwabo lokugcina. “Emva kwalokho uzowugawula.” Ekubhujisweni okubi okwehlela isizwe samaJuda sifunda isiphetho somuthi ongatheli.

Ngaphansi komfanekiso womkhiwane, uKristu umelela, hhayi amaJuda kuphela, kodwa bonke abaye badebeselela ukuthuthukisa izipho zaseZulwini. Usiphe izibusiso ezinkulu kunezanikwa abantu bakhe basendulo, futhi usibiza ngezithelo ezihambisana nezipho esiziphiwe. ... {HS 180.2–4}

UNkulunkulu akashintshi. Uhlala esebenzelana nabantu Bakhe abakhethiwe ngendlela efanayo. IBandla lama-SDA lingabantu banamuhla abakhethiwe futhi bekufanele likwazi ukuthi ngo-Okthoba 27, 2012, kwase kudlule iminyaka emithathu kusukela ekwindla ka-2009 lapho uNkulunkulu eqala ukuthela imvula yakamuva phezu kwabantu base-Advent ngendlela yoMlayezo we-Orion, uMkhumbi Wesikhathi kanye nomlayezo wobizo Lwethu Oluphakeme, okwakuyobe sekuvuthwe isithelo. Njalo ngonyaka owodwa we-preultimate triplet ye-Vessel of Time (2010, 2011, 2012) uJesu wayefika esivini enethemba lokuthola umkhiwane weBandla Lakhe leSDA uthela izithelo, kodwa noma kunjalo. Usuku lwakhe lokuzalwa njengomuntu, usuku lapho Ezembathisa khona isintu, Okthoba 27, 2012, okwakuyiSabatha Eliphakeme ngisho onyakeni wesithathu, akasitholanga isithelo. Kunalokho, kwadingeka abheke njengoba injongo yalolu suku oluhloniphekile ibhidlika futhi yenziwa into engenangqondo. “ISabatha Lokudala” lalithathe indawo yosuku olungcwele lukaNkulunkulu. Ngokudangala kwakhe, uJesu wanxusa uMoya oNgcwele ukuba ugawule umuthi, kodwa uMduduzi waphinde wabakhulumela abantu abanhlanhlathayo.

Omunye unyaka kufanele unikezwe iBandla; elinye ithuba ngaphezulu, isivivinyo esisodwa ngaphezulu, umzamo wokugcina owodwa. Umfanekiso kaJesu ushiya isiphetho sivulekile. Umlando usitshela lokho uNkulunkulu akwenza kumaJuda, futhi lokhu kuchazwe ngendlela ehlaba umxhwele esahlukweni sokuqala sencwadi ka-E impikiswano enkulu. U-Ellen G. White naye usebenzisa leso sahluko esikhathini sethu samanje. Ngakho-ke kuyisiprofetho esinemibandela esiyoba nomphumela ohambisana nokusabela kobuholi beBandla lama-Adventist. Uma kukhona ukuphenduka, kuyoba umusa njengoba kwakunjalo ngeNineve. Uma iBandla lihlala ezonweni zalo, ukubhujiswa kuyolandela njengeSodoma neGomora.

Nansi impendulo esemthethweni yeBandla lama-Adventist ekumbiweni nasekuthunjweni kukaMoya oNgcwele phakathi nonyaka owengeziwe womusa ophela ngo-Okthoba 27, 2013:

INgonyama yeSizwe sakwaJuda izonquma kanjani manje?

[Qaphela: Kulesi sihloko Izwi likaNkulunkulu ungafunda okwenzeka ngempela ngo-Okthoba 26/27, 2013.]

[Inothi likaFebruwari 2015: Lapho umnyango wesihe weBandla le-SDA ekugcineni uvalwa, kuchazwa ku Call Last isihloko nasochungechungeni IBhabhiloni Liwile. Ithebula elingezansi liqukethe le dethi kakade. Ukwahlulela kudlulile phezu kwakhe. Kusukela lapho, iBandla le-SDA elihlelekile lilinde isijeziso sakhe.]
