Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoLwesihlanu, Januwari 11, 2013, 6:14 am ngesiJalimane ngo www.letztercountdown.org
Ngomhla ziyisi-9 kuMasingana wezi-2013, ngathola umlayezo ovela kumfowethu owanginika ithuba lokuthi ekugcineni ngihlale phansi ngenze umsebenzi wesikole ukuze nginikeze iseshini yokufundisa kinina eningakwazi ukuhlukanisa kahle izingcaphuno eziphikisana nokumiswa kwesikhathi zika-Ellen G. White. Eqinisweni, noma ubani oke wacabanga ngale ndaba Iwashi le-Orion futhi Umkhumbi Wesikhathi kufanele acabange ngezingcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White mayelana nokubeka isikhathi ngokujulile, ukuze singazisebenzisi ngobumpumputhe. Okokuqala, ngicaphuna incwadi evela kulo mzalwane, ngemva kwalokho impendulo engimthumele yona izolo. Njengoba engumhleli kamagazini wama-Adventist adla ngoludala, ngacela imvume yokusho igama lakhe, futhi wavuma. Siyambonga ngesibindi.
Imeyili esuka ku-Erich Schultze iya ku-John Scotram ngoJanuwari 9, 2013
Isihloko: Izwi leseluleko
Mfowethu Scotram othandekayo:
Namuhla umhleli we-“Voice of the Remnant,” umfowenu onokholo u-Erich Schultze, ukubhalela futhi ukuze akunike iseluleko sobuzalwane.
UNkulunkulu ukunike amakhono amahle, njengoba kuveziwe, isibonelo, endabeni yakho ebaluleke kakhulu mayelana namaSabatha enyanga kanye nokubala kwezinkanyezi, kanye nokuqinisekisa izimfundiso eziyisisekelo zama-Adventist. Futhi isitayela sakho sokubhala esicacile nesihlekisayo sikhulume nami.
Noma kunjalo, bese ngivele ngabona ekuqaleni ukuthi ubukwithrekhi engalungile embuzweni we-Orion kanye nokusetha isikhathi. U-Ellen G. White uxwayise ngokulungiswa kwesikhathi izikhathi eziningana, okukhethiwe ongakuthola ekugcineni kokunamathiselwe. Cishe uzothi usukwazi konke lokho, futhi njengoba kwenzeka njalo, ngeshwa, uthi bekungahlosiwe kanjalo, njll., njll.
Ngakho-ke, futhi ngenxa yokuthi ngase ngivele ngifunde ukuphikisa okufanayo ekhasini lakho eliyisiqalo, ngase ngiqinisekile ukuthi izingcaphuno ezivela ku-Ellen G. White ngeke zikuhlabe umxhwele. Uma ngifunda kuphela isihloko seMilayezo Ekhethiwe, incwadi 1, isahluko 23, ikhasi 187 (uhlelo lwesiJalimane) [IsiNgisi, ikhasi 185] “Qaphela Noma Isiphi Isikhathi Sokusetha”, okungenani kimina, icala licace kahle, futhi ngiqonde ukuthi, ngeshwa usendleleni engalungile. Awu - ilambu elibomvu lingashaywa indiva lapho kushisa futhi uma usuvele uhileleke odabeni.
Njengoba wawuzinqumele ukuthi ngo-2012 kuzokwenzeka into eyisipesheli emhlabeni - kwakukhulunywa ngeziqhumane - ngangifuna ukulinda u-2012 ukuze ngibe nesiqiniseko sokuthi lesi sibikezelo ngeke sifezeke. Manje sisonyakeni ka-2013. Ngemva kokuvakashela iwebhusayithi yakho, ngangilindele incazelo yokuthi kungani umcimbi ungenzekanga, ngethemba ukuthi manje uzolivuma iphutha lakho, kodwa isikhathi sanwetshwa safinyelela onyakeni ka-2013. Manje lesi isibani sesibili esibomvu, okusobala ukuthi awusiboni.
Bese kuba ne-akhawunti yakho mayelana nomphrofethi u-Ernie Knoll osolwayo, ongeke akuvume futhi obuyothola kuye amaphutha amaningi. Leli ilambu lesithathu elibomvu.
Mfowethu Scotram othandekayo, ngiyakuncenga, vuka ekugcineni. Ngeshwa, awuzange ulandele izitatimende ezicacile zoMoya Wesiprofetho, awuzange uthathe umphumela wakho ekubikezelweni kwakho okungalungile futhi usazama ukubamba ama-straw amaphupho ka-Ernie Knoll, nakuba kusobala kakhulu ukuthi ungomunye umprofethi kaNkulunkulu.
Izikhathi eziningi ngangibhekana nabazalwane ababekhuluma ngamaphupho abo, imibono nemizwa, okuthiwa ivela kuNkulunkulu, benemibono engavamile engqubuzana neBhayibheli. USathane ufuna ukusivimba emsebenzini wangempela kaNkulunkulu kanye nokumenyezelwa kwemiyalezo yezingelosi ezintathu, futhi asinike imizwa ejabulisayo nemibono engamanga edakayo. Akuzona thina kuphela, kodwa nabanye abadonsekayo futhi bayathinteka futhi ekugcineni kufike ukuwa. Uyafuna ngempela ukuthi ngisho unyaka ka-2013 uphele bese ulinda unyaka ka-2014 bese kuthiwani? Kungaba yihlazo ukubona wena nalabo asebethathe indlela engalungile bebhubha. Ozihlikihla izandla nguye kuphela owathembisa u-Eva ulwazi lwaphezulu. Umbuzo kimi nawe uthi: singabona yini ukuthi siyizoni ezimpofu phambi kukaNkulunkulu, futhi silekelele enkazimulweni okufanele sibe nayo kuNkulunkulu - njengomthelisi emthandazweni phambi kukaNkulunkulu? Futhi ingabe siyamnika izinhliziyo zethu nsuku zonke, ukuze uMoya oNgcwele usiguqule kakhulu futhi sibe ngumfanekiso kaJesu?
Sobabili singasebenza ndawonye ukuze sikhazimulise uNkulunkulu ekunikezeni imiyalezo yezingelosi ezintathu futhi sizwakalise ukuKhala okukhulu ngenjabulo enkulu nangentshiseko engcwele, kodwa kufanele nginilinde isikhathi esingakanani?
Ngethemba ukuthi awuphathekile kabi ngenxa yamazwi ami angagwegwesi, kodwa kubuhlungu umphefumulo wami ukuthi uhlale ubalekela inhlekelele. Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angaba seduze nani futhi aniphe ukuqonda nesiqalo esisha.
Ngezilokotho zami ezinhle,
Umfowenu eNkosini
U-Erich Schultze
[Inothi lombhali: Imeyili okunamathiselwe kuhlanganisa izingcaphuno ezimelene nokusetha isikhathi, manje esezishicilelwe kabusha empendulweni yami. Ngakho-ke, ngeke baphinde bacashunwe lapha.]
Impendulo esuka ku-John Scotram eya ku-Erich Schultze ngoJanuwari 10, 2013
Mfowethu Erich Schultze othandekayo,
Okokuqala, ukubonga okusuka enhliziyweni ngemeyili yakho enesihloko esithi “Izwi leseluleko.” Njengoba ngikwazi ukuqoqa emigqeni yakho enenhlonipho nenakekelayo, ukhathazeke ngempela ngensindiso yami/yethu futhi awukudeleli ukukhanya okusha kwasekuqaleni. Lokhu kungenxa yakho enkulu, njengoba kungeyona inkambiso kulezi zinsuku. Ngizwakalisa ukubonga kwami kini ikakhulukazi ngeqiniso lokuthi ngokubhala kwenu okunesizotha ninginika ithuba lokuthi ekugcineni ngiphendule izimpikiswano eziphindaphindekayo eziphikisana nokumiswa kwesikhathi zabaphikisi bami/bethu, ezivame ukulethwa ngendlela enokwedelela kakhulu, kodwa engingathanda ukuyikhuluma manje ngendlela yobuzalwane neyokuhlaziya, uma unganakile.
Ku-slide 128 sesifundo se-Orion, ngibhale ngomlingiswa waseLawodikeya: “Yilabo abasebenzisa imibhalo ephikisana nalezi zifundo ngenxa yokuhlela isikhathi, abebengayiqondi nakancane ngoba bempofu emoyeni, bengaboni futhi benqunu. Abalifuni iqiniso ngoba bacabanga ukuthi sebekubambe konke ngezingqondo zabo ezikhaliphile.”
Manje ngithanda ukukukhombisa ukuthi yiliphi ibandla leSambulo (ngeshwa namanje) okhonza kulo...
Ungithumelela izingcaphuno ezimbalwa ezivela ku-Ellen G. White maqondana "nokusetha isikhathi" futhi uziphendulele ezifundweni zami ngaphandle kokuqonda isikhathi esiphila kuso nokuthi wawuyini umsebenzi weqiniso ka-Ellen G. White. Ngizokukhombisa futhi ukuthi wena nabanye abaningi ningama-SDA-extras enkundleni yemidlalo yasezulwini “yeMpikiswano Enkulu,” nakuba kufanele nibe ama-Adventist eqiniso futhi.
Uthatha isicaphuna sakho sokuqala kokuthi “Imibhalo Yasekuqaleni”:
INkosi ingibonisile ukuthi umyalezo wengelosi yesithathu kufanele uhambe, futhi umemezele kubantwana beNkosi abahlakazekile, kodwa akufanele ulengiswe ngesikhathi. Ngabona ukuthi abanye babethola injabulo yamanga, eyayivela ngesikhathi sokushumayela; kodwa umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu unamandla kunesikhathi. Ngabona ukuthi lo mlayezo ungama phezu kwesisekelo sawo futhi awudingi isikhathi sokuwuqinisa; nokuthi iyohamba ngamandla amakhulu, futhi yenze umsebenzi wayo, futhi iyofinyezwa ngokulunga. {I-EW 75.1}
Ukuze uqonde lokhu kanye nezinye izingcaphuno eziningi, umuntu kumelwe aqhubeke efunda esikhundleni sokuyikhipha ngaphandle komongo. Uma senza lokho, sifunda ukuthi lesi sicaphuno sivela embonweni u-Ellen G. White awuthola ngo-1851. Nakhu okunye akubhalayo:
“Ngabona abanye benza konke kugoba kulekwindla elandelayo; okungukuthi, ukwenza izibalo zabo, kanye nokulahla impahla yabo ngokubhekisela kuleso sikhathi. Ngabona ukuthi lokhu kwakungalungile ngenxa yalesi sizathu: esikhundleni sokuya kuNkulunkulu nsuku zonke, futhi nokufisa ngobuqotho ukwazi umsebenzi wabo wamanje, babheka phambili, futhi benza izibalo zabo njengokungathi bazi ukuthi umsebenzi wawuzoqeda lokhu kuwa, ngaphandle kokubuza umsebenzi wabo kaNkulunkulu nsuku zonke.
EG White. "Ikopishwe eMilton, Juni 29, 1851, AAG" {1SM 188.4–189.1}
Manje sidinga ukubeka lesi sicaphuno ngesikhathi saso esifanele futhi siqonde ukuthi sonke isikhathi somlayezo wengelosi yesithathu sihlukaniswe izigaba ezimbili eziyinhloko:
- Isikhathi esingaphambi kuka-1888-1890 lapho ibandla lase linethuba lokuya ngqo ezulwini, futhi
- Isikhathi esingemva kuka-1890, ngemva kokuba ibandla seliphuthelwe yithuba lalo futhi kwadingeka lizulazule ehlane futhi.
Ngokunjalo, amazwi kaHaskell ka-Ellen G. White athi:
“Ngabona ukuthi uJones noWagoner babenomlingani wabo kuJoshua noCaleb. Njengalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhanda izinhloli ngamatshe angokoqobo, nibakhanda ngamatshe laba bazalwane ngamatshe okubhuqa nokuklolodela. Ngabona ukuthi wenqaba ngamabomu lokho owazi ukuthi kuyiqiniso, ngenxa nje yokuthi kuhlazisa kakhulu isithunzi sakho. Ngibone abanye benu ematendeni enu belingisa futhi behlekisa ngazo zonke izinhlobo zalaba bazalwane ababili. Ngabona futhi ukuthi uma uwamukele umyalezo wabo, ngabe sasisembusweni iminyaka emibili kusukela ngalolo suku, kodwa manje kufanele sibuyele ehlane futhi sihlale lapho iminyaka engamashumi amane." Ibhalwe eMelbourne, e-Australia, ngoMeyi 9, 1892.
Lesi sisho sivame ukuhlaselwa yi-BRI, kodwa sivela emthonjeni oqotho. Nawu umbono wama-anti-time-setters ngalokhu:
Encwadini ethi Union Conference Record ngo-1899, uSteven N. Haskell, umngane wesikhathi eside nomsekeli ka-Ellen G. White wabhala esihlokweni esithi “The Third Angel’s Message,” ngale ndlela: “Ingabe ucabanga ukuthi sisezinsukwini zokugcina? Sisezinsukwini zokugcina zesizukulwane sokugcina. Sineminyaka eyishumi ekukhaleni okukhulu koMlayezo weNgelosi yesiThathu. Kunobufakazi obukuyi- Bulletin, eyanyatheliswa ngo-1892, ethi: ‘Ukube abantu bakaNkulunkulu babeye emsebenzini njengoba kwakufanele baye emsebenzini ngemva nje komhlangano waseMinneapolis ngo-1888, umhlaba wawuyoxwayiswa eminyakeni emibili, futhi iNkosi yayiyofika. UNkulunkulu wayeklame ukuvala umsebenzi ngendlela efanele abantu Bakhe ababezizwa ngayo ukubaluleka nobungcwele balo msebenzi kanye nentshiseko ababewubambe ngayo.”
Izazi eziningi zingashesha ukukhomba ukuthi uHaskell kufanele ukuthi wakwenza iphutha ngoba kwakungekho General Conference Bulletin eyanyatheliswa ngo-1892. Nakuba engawutholanga kahle umthombo wakhe, kunzima ukukholelwa ukuthi othile ovelele eBandleni njengoHaskell wayeyoqamba amanga futhi athi u-Ellen G. White waqamba into angakaze ayisho noma ayibhale. Lokhu kukodwa esikwaziyo ngezingcaphuno esesike sazibheka, u-Ellen G. White wayekholelwa ngokuqinisekile ukuthi ngo-1896, abantu bakaNkulunkulu babengase bekhona eZweni Lesithembiso ukuba babethembekile.
Ekugcineni, ngo-1901, u-Ellen G. White wabhala okulandelayo: “Kungase kudingeke sihlale lapha kulomhlaba ngenxa yokungathobi iminyaka eminingi eyengeziwe, njengoba kwenza abantwana bakwaIsrayeli; kodwa ngenxa kaKristu, abantu baKhe akufanele banezele isono esonweni ngokubeka uNkulunkulu icala ngomphumela wesenzo sabo esingalungile.— Incwadi 184, 1901.” (Icashunwe eSahlukweni 8 esithi “Ukufana Kwesiprofetho” ka-Adrian Welsh etholakala ku- www.4hispeople.info)
Kufanele kukucacele ukuthi iBandla lama-Adventist seliwufezile uhlobo lwama-Israyeli ngaphansi kukaMose ngesikhathi soFuduko, nabo abaphuthelwa yibo. kuqala ithuba lokungena eKhanani.
Ingabe nathi kufanele siphuthelwe ithuba lethu lesibili, ngenxa yezingcaphuno ezisetshenziswe kabi nezihunyushwe kabi zika-Ellen G. White, ezanikezwa uNkulunkulu ngesikhathi esithile nenjongo?
Umbono ngokwawo, kusukela lapho konke Izingcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White eziphikisana nesikhathi zithathwe, zango-1851, isikhathi NGAPHAMBI kweMinneapolis, lapho iBandla lama-Adventist kufanele ngabe liye ezulwini nomlayezo wengelosi yesithathu. kuphela, ngesipho esinamandla nesifushane esithi “Ukulungisiswa Ngokukholwa” esilethwe u-Wagoner noJones.
U-Ellen G. White wathi:
... ukuthi [umyalezo] iyakuhamba ngamandla amakhulu, yenze umsebenzi wayo, ibe khona SIKA FUSHA ekulungeni. {1SM 188.3}
UNkulunkulu wakhuluma ngokucacile ngemiyalezo emibili kulo mbono ka-Ellen G. White: 1. imiyalezo yezingelosi ezintathu (it [umlayezo]) okufanele ilethwe ngokuzumayo ekugcineni, ngo 2. umlayezo kaWagoner noJones (Ukulunga Ngokukholwa).
Sonke siyazi ngokuhlangenwe nakho okubuhlungu kwesithunywa sikaNkulunkulu uqobo ukuthi lokhu kwenza HHAYI kwenzeke.
Abagxeki baka-Ellen G. White abavela ezinhlwini zezitha ze-Adventism benza iphutha elifanayo ngokungafaki izingcaphuno eziningi zesithunywa sikaNkulunkulu esimweni sabo sesikhashana futhi abaziboni izinkathi ezimbili ezinkulu zesikhathi ngaphambi nangemva kweMinneapolis. Ngakho, abakwazi ukuqonda ukuthi ezinye zeziprofetho zoMoya wesiprofetho zazicacile okunemibandela kanye nendaba yokuthi abantu babeyobe sebeyifezile imisebenzi ababeyinikwe uNkulunkulu ngendlela efanele nangesikhathi esifanele (ngaphambi kuka-1890).
Nazi ezinye izibonelo ezaziwa kakhulu kusukela ekuhlanganiseni "Imicimbi Yosuku Lokugcina":
U-Ellen G. White Wayelindele Ukubuya KukaKristu Ngosuku Lwakhe
Ngaboniswa inkampani ekhona eNgqungqutheleni. Ingelosi yathi: “Okunye ukudla kwezibungu, abanye abayizikhonzi zezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, abanye bayobe bephila futhi basale emhlabeni ukuze bahunyushwe ekufikeni kukaJesu.”— Testimonies For The Church 1:131, 132 .1856). {I-LDE 36.3}
Ngenxa yokuthi isikhathi sifushane, kufanele sisebenze ngokuzimisela nangamandla aphindwe kabili. Izingane zethu zingase zingangeni ekolishi.— Ubufakazi BeBandla 3:159 (1872). {I-LDE 36.4}
Akuhlakaniphile ngempela ukuba nezingane manje. Isikhathi sifushane, izingozi zezinsuku zokugcina ziphezu kwethu, futhi ngokuvamile abantwana abancane bayokhukhulwa ngaphambi kwalokhu.— Incwadi 48, NW. 1876. {I-LDE 36.5}
Kule nkathi yezwe, njengoba izigcawu zomlando womhlaba zizovalwa maduzane futhi sesizongena esikhathini sosizi olungakaze lube khona, iba mbalwa imishado eqalwayo okungcono kubo bonke, kokubili amadoda nabesifazane.— Testimonies for the Church 5:3661885). {I-LDE 37.1}
Ihora liyofika; akukude, futhi abanye bethu esikholwayo manje bazobe bephila emhlabeni, futhi bayobona isibikezelo siqinisekisiwe, futhi bezwe izwi lengelosi enkulu necilongo likaNkulunkulu. kunanela kusukela entabeni nasethafeni nasolwandle kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba.— The Review and Herald, July 31; 1888. {I-LDE 37.2}
Isikhathi sokulingwa sesifikile nje, ngoba isililo esikhulu sengelosi yesithathu sesiqalile kakade ekwambulweni kokulunga kukaKristu, uMhlengi othethelela izono.— Imiyalezo Ekhethiwe 1:363 ( 1892 ). {I-LDE 37.3}
Isihloko salesi sigaba sithi “Ellen G. White Ulindele Ukubuya KukaKristu Osukwini Lwakhe” okwavela ngokusobala ukuthi ukulindela okungamanga. Lezi ziprofetho ezingagcwaliseki zivame ukusetshenziswa abamelene no-Ellen G. White. Ukuze amvikele ecaleni lokuba umprofethi wamanga, izizathu zalezi ziprofetho ezingagcwaliseki zinikezwe encwadini efanayo:
Kuchaza Ukubambezeleka
Ubusuku obude bobumnyama buyazama, kodwa ukusa kuhlehlisiwe ngomusa, ngoba uma iNkosi ifika abaningi babeyotholakala bengakalungi.— Ubufakazi BeBandla 2:194 (1868).
Ngabe ama-Adventist emva kokudumala okukhulu ngo-1844 abambelela ngokuqinile ekukholweni kwawo futhi alandela ngobunye ekuhlelweni kokuvula kukaNkulunkulu, ethola umlayezo we wesithathu ingelosi nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele bememezela emhlabeni, bona belungafica bayibonile insindiso kaNkulunkulu, iNkosi belungafica Sebesebenze ngamandla ngemizamo yabo, umsebenzi wawuyobe usuqediwe, futhi uKristu wayezofika ngaphambi kwalokhu ukuze amukele abantu Bakhe emvuzweni wabo.... Kwakungeyona intando kaNkulunkulu ukuthi ukufika kukaKristu kubambezeleke kanjalo....
Iminyaka engamashumi amane ukungakholwa, ukukhononda, nokuhlubuka kwavala u-Israyeli wasendulo ezweni laseKhanani. Izono ezifanayo zine ukubambezeleka ukungena kukaIsrayeli wanamuhla eKhanani lasezulwini. Kukho kokubili izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu zazingenaphutha. Ukungakholwa, ukuthanda izwe, ukungazincweli, nokuxabana phakathi kwabantu abazibiza ngokuthi bangabantu beNkosi wasigcina kulomhlaba wesono nosizi iminyaka eminingi.—Evangelism, 695, 696 (1883).
Had Ibandla likaKristu lenze umsebenzi walo omisiwe njengoba iNkosi yawumisa, umhlaba wonke ngabe uxwayiswe ngaphambi kwalokhu futhi iNkosi uJesu yayiyofika emhlabeni wethu ngamandla nenkazimulo enkulu.— The Desire of Ages, 633, 634 (1898). {I-LDE 37.4–38.2}
Umbono ka-1851, njengoba—njengoba sekushiwo—KONKE Izitatimende eziphikisana ne-Ellen G. White eziphikisana nesikhathi zisekelwe, zafika ngokucacile ngaphambi kuka-1888-1890 futhi zabikezela umphumela omuhle kanye nokufinyezwa komsebenzi. Isimo ngokwaso osishiyile esicashuniwe sinikezwe engxenyeni yesibili yombono:
“Ngabona abanye benza yonke into igobe lekwindla elandelayo; okungukuthi, ukwenza izibalo zabo, kanye nokulahla impahla yabo ngokubhekisela kuleso sikhathi. Ngabona ukuthi lokhu akulungile ngokwalesi sizathu: esikhundleni sokuya kuNkulunkulu nsuku zonke, futhi befisa ngobuqotho ukwazi umsebenzi wabo wamanje, babheka phambili, futhi benza izibalo zabo njengokungathi bazi ukuthi umsebenzi uzoqeda lokhu kuwa, ngaphandle kokubuza umsebenzi wabo kaNkulunkulu nsuku zonke.
EG White. “Kukopishwe eMilton, June 29, 1851, AAG” {1SM 188.4–189.1}
Lapha ubona kahle ukuthi umbono wanikezwa ngenxa yokungaziphathi kahle kwamanye ama-Adventist yangaleso sikhathi. Umbono unomongo wesikhathi esiyingqayizivele sekwindla ka-1851. Awukwazi ukumane uthathwe ungene esikhathini sethu, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokudumala okukhulu kwango-1890 futhi ngokwengxenye ngoba sesivele sisesikhathini semvula yamuva ngemva kokuzulazula kwehlane elikhulu leminyaka eyi-120 (3 × 40) labantu abangathembekile base-Advent.
Ukwehluleka kwesizukulwane sangaphambili sama-Adventist kwakuwukuthi “babengayi kuNkulunkulu nsuku zonke, futhi befisa ngobuqotho ukwazi umsebenzi wabo wamanje” futhi “ekubhekeni phambili” babecabanga ngekusasa kuphela. Abazange babuze uNkulunkulu nsuku zonke ukuthi yini ayeyilindele kubo futhi babengakuqapheli lokho umsebenzi ubungaqedwa ngaphandle komyalezo wesikhathi owengeziwe ukube nje bebeshumayele ngokwethembeka wesithathu umlayezo wengelosi.
Ngakho umbono ubonisa ukuthi umsebenzi wawungase “ufinyezwe” nokuthi wesithathu umlayezo wengelosi wawuyophumelela ngaphandle kokushunyayelwa kwesikhathi IF isonto lalihlale lithembekile. Umlayezo ophelele wengelosi yesine wawungeke ube nesidingo.
Ucwaningo lwethu seluze lwaveza ukuthi usizi nalo beluzonqanyulwa kanti cha UNYAKA ngezinhlupho ngabe zenzeke. Lokhu kubonakala ngokucacile eqinisweni lokuthi ngo-1888, imithetho yangeSonto yayisivele ikhona kodwa sasingekho isikhathi seminyaka emithathu nengxenye kwaze kwaba yikwindla ka-1890. UKristu wadala umhlaba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha, ngakho-ke Angakwazi futhi wayezowubhubhisa ngezinsuku eziyisithupha.
Ngakho-ke uma sibheka izingcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White ezimelene nokuhlelwa kwesikhathi, akumelwe nanini sikhohlwe injongo okwabhalwa ngayo kanye nesikhathi ezabhalwa ngaso, noma sizokwenza iphutha elifanayo njengabaphikisi baka-Ellen G. White kanye ne-Adventism, futhi sibe sengozini yokungagcini nje ngokumenza umprofethi wamanga kodwa sisebenzise kabi futhi sihumushe ngokungeyikho izitatimende ekubhujisweni kwethu.
Labo abangazicabangeli lezi zimo kodwa basebenzisa izingcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White ngokushiseka okuyizimpumputhe nokubandlulula kudingekile manje ukukhanya kwengelosi yesine (kaMoya oNgcwele emvuleni yakamuva) abasilaleli isixwayiso somphostoli uPetru, futhi benza ngo-Ellen G. White lokho abaningi abakwenzayo noPawulu ukuze bahlasele i-Adventism ngokusekelwe emazwini akhe mayelana namaSabatha (emikhosi) kanye nokudla (okuthiwa kuvunyelwe) ukudla inyama:
Nithi ukubekezela kweNkosi yethu kuyinsindiso; njengoba laye umzalwane wethu othandekayo uPawuli ekulobela kwakhe ngokuhlakanipha akunikwayo; Njengasezincwadini zakhe zonke, ekhuluma kuzo ngalezizinto; okukhona kuzo ezinye izinto ezilukhuni ukuzwisiswa, okuthi abangafundileyo nabangazinzile bazihlanekezele, njengokuba benza neminye imibhalo, kube ngukubhujiswa kwabo. (I-2 Peter 3: 15-16)
Nokho, u-Ellen G. White akatholanga nje kuphela isiprofetho esinemibandela sokungena kwabantu base-Advent eKhanani lasezulwini ngo-1890 esahluleka, kodwa wabuye wabona okwakuzodingeka kwenzeke uma ukukhanya kwengelosi yesine kufanele kufike ukukhulula emvuleni yakamuva yomlayezo wengelosi yesithathu uma icebo leNkosi A liyohluleka ngenxa yenkani yabantu baKhe futhi uhambo olude luzothatha uhambo olude.
Izingelosi zathunyelwa ukuba ziyosiza ingelosi enamandla evela ezulwini, futhi ngezwa amazwi ayezwakala yonke indawo ethi: “Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zayo, nokuze ningamukeli izinhlupho zayo. Ngokuba izono zalo zifinyelele ezulwini, noNkulunkulu ukhumbulile ukungalungi kwalo.” Lo mlayezo wawubonakala unjalo an Ngaphezu emyalezweni wesithathu, uwuhlanganise njengoba kukhala phakathi kwamabili wahlanganyela nesigijimi sengelosi yesibili ngo-1844. Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu yahlala phezu kwabangcwele ababenesineke, ababelindile, futhi ngesibindi banikeza isixwayiso sokugcina esinesizotha, bememezela ukuwa kweBabiloni futhi bebiza abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuba baphume kulo ukuze baphunyuke ekubhujisweni kwalo okwesabekayo. {I-EW 277.2}
Ngokushesha sezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu njengamanzi amaningi, asinika wona usuku nehora lokufika kukaJesu. Abangcwele abaphilayo, abayizi-144,000 ngenani, babelazi futhi beliqonda izwi, kuyilapho ababi babecabanga ukuthi kuwukuduma nokuzamazama komhlaba. Ngenkathi uNkulunkulu ekhuluma isikhathi, Wathela phezu kwethu uMoya oNgcwele, futhi ubuso bethu baqala ukukhanya futhi bakhanya ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, njengoba kwenza uMose lapho ehla eNtabeni yaseSinayi. {I-EW 14.1}
Labo abangayitholi imvula yamuva abaliqondi izwi likaNkulunkulu futhi benza iphutha lesimemezelo sesikhathi “sokuduma”. Lesi yisixwayiso esibucayi kakhulu kwabamelene nesikhathi, esinikezwe kusukela embonweni wokuqala ka-Ellen G. White ngoDisemba 1844!
Phakathi nokutadisha kwami okuningiliziwe kwezingcaphuno ezifanele zika-Ellen G. White eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule, ngaphawula ukuthi ukuphikisana okufanayo okusobala ezicashuniwe zika-Ellen G. White mayelana nokumiswa kwesikhathi nakho kukhona. eBhayibhelini ngokwalo ngendlela efanayo.
Vele uqhathanise lokhu:
Kodwa ngalolo suku nalelo hora akakho owaziyo. cha, hhayi izingelosi ezisezulwini, noma iNdodana, kodwa uBaba. ( Marku 13:32 )
Ngakho-ke khumbula ukuthi wamukele wezwa kanjani, ubambelele, uphenduke. Ngakho uma ungalindi, ngiyakuza kuwe njengesela, futhi kawusoze wazi ukuthi yiliphi ihola engizakuza phezu kwakho ngalo. (IsAmbulo 3: 3)
Noma yimuphi umfundi weBhayibheli oqotho kufanele aqaphele ukuthi kumelwe avumelane neBhayibheli ngokwalo ukuze agweme ukulilahla ngokuphelele. Kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi ubeke izingcaphuno esimweni sazo esinengqondo nesingokomlando, ngaphandle kwalokho uphahlazeka umkhumbi, ucwila ngaphansi kwamagagasi okudideka.
I-Advent Movement yonke iyinhlangano eyaqala ngabahleli besikhathi nabalandelayo, phakathi kwabo kwakukhona no-Ellen Harmon (White). Ekukhaleni kokuqala kwaphakathi kwamabili babhekana nokudumala, kodwa kwaphumela esikhukhuleni sokukhanya: imfundiso yendlu engcwele. Yilabo kuphela abangena endaweni engcwele abakwazi ukubona ukukhanya kwengelosi yesine, futhi ngemva kuka-1844 yilabo kuphela abangena eNgcwelengcwele abayoba noJesu eMbusweni. Abantu be-Advent kuzofanele bafunde emlandweni wabo, futhi ikakhulukazi ephutheni labo elibi ngo-1888-1890. Kwaba kuhle kubo ukuthi bangazi ngesikhathi sokuzulazula kwabo ogwadule okungesizungu ukuthi kuzophela nini, ukuze kungabikho ophinda iphutha lika-1888 futhi abheke ikusasa kuphela. Nokho, kwakuyofika isikhathi lapho ukukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili kufanele kuphindwe, ngoba ngokuhlubuka umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu wawulahlekelwe amandla owawungame ngawo wodwa ngo-1888-1890. Kwakufanele kufike imvuselelo nenguquko eyayizodlula ukukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili ka-1844, futhi lokhu kwakuzokwenzeka kuphela ngomsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele uqobo Lwakhe.
Encwadini ethi The Great Controversy , u-Ellen G. White wabhala ukuthi abakwaMillerite babethole incazelo enengqondo nenembile yokuphikisana okusobala phakathi kwezixwayiso zikaJesu eziseBhayibhelini ngokuphathelene nesikhathi nokumemezela kwabo isikhathi phakathi kwamabili okucatshangwa ukuthi ngisho neNkosi uqobo yayingazi.
“Akekho owazi usuku noma ihora” kwakuyimpikiswano evame ukuvezwa abalahla ukholo lokufika. Umbhalo uthi: “Mayelana nalolo suku nalelo hora akakho owaziyo, nazingelosi zasezulwini, nazingelosi zasezulwini, kodwa nguBaba kuphela.” Mathewu 24:36 . A incazelo ecacile nevumelanayo yalo mbhalo yanikezwa yilabo ababeyifuna iNkosi, futhi ukusetshenziswa kabi kwayo okwenziwa ngabamelene nabo kwabonakala ngokucacile. {I-GC 370.2}
Nakuba u-Ellen G. White ethi kamuva esiqeshini ukuthi usuku oluqondile lwalungaziwa kodwa ulwazi kuphela lokusondela kokuza kukaJesu, okwakuyiqiniso ngesikhathi sakhe, akumelwe sikhohlwe lokho akuqinisekisile ngesitatimende sakhe: okungukuthi, ukuthi uMiller nabangane bakhe "abagangileyo" abahlela isikhathi, ikakhulukazi noSamuel Snow owayebeke ngempela usuku nehora ku-Okthoba 22, 1844 incazelo ecacile nenembile yale mibhalo yeBhayibheli. Ngakho-ke izingxabano eziningi ze-anti-time-setters ziyawa, ngoba u-Ellen G. White uqinisekisa ukuthi kukhona incazelo efanele yalesi siqephu esivumela ukuthi sisho ukuthi usuku nehora kungaziwa.
Ukuvumelanisa okufanele kwalokhu kungqubuzana okubonakala eBhayibhelini kungafinyelelwa ngendlela efanayo okuxazululwa ngayo konke okunye ukuphikisana: umuntu udinga nje ukubeka iziqephu endaweni yazo efanele kanye nesimo sazo sesikhashana, ahlonze izethameli eziqondiwe kanye nenjongo yesitatimende, bese inkungu esobala yokungqubuzana okunengqondo iyahlakazeka.
Uma wenza lokho, uyabona ukuthi kwakuyiminyaka eyizi-2000 edlule lapho uJesu ethi kubafundi bakhe ukuthi naye wayengasazi isikhathi sokufika kwakhe. Kubonakala kungenakwenzeka kithi ukuthi uJesu, onguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe, futhi manje ophambi kukaYise eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele enza inkonzo yobupristi futhi ehlezi ngakwesokunene sesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi, akakatshelwa nguYise. Ukukholelwa lokho kuwubuwula futhi kuwubuwula!
Ngakho, kufanele sicabange ukuthi phakathi nenkonzo Yakhe njengomuntu, uJesu wayengalazi ihora, futhi lokhu ngesizathu esihle:
Sebebuthene bambuza, bathi: “Nkosi, uyawubuyisela ngalesi sikhathi umbuso ku-Israyeli na? Wathi kubo. Akusikho okwakho ukwazi izikhathi nezinkathi uBaba azimise ngamandla akhe. ( IzEnzo 1:6-7 )
Cha, kwakungekona okwabafundi bokuqala ukwazi isikhathi. Kwakungaba yinto eshaqisayo kubo ukwazi ukuthi iNkosi yayingeke ifike cishe eminye iminyaka eyizi-2000, futhi kwakuyobeka umsebenzi wabo engozini kakhulu.
Kodwa uJesu waphendula ngobuchule nangesikhathi esisodwa ini kwakubalulekile kubo, futhi nini isikhathi sasiyofika lapho usuku nehora kwakwaziwa ngalo:
Kodwa nizakwamukeliswa amandla, uMoya oNgcwele esefikile phezu kwenu, nibe ofakazi bami eJerusalema, naseJudiya lonke, naseSamariya, kuze kube sekugcineni komhlaba. ( IzEnzo 1:8 )
Umsebenzi wabo kanye nowethu ukufakaza emhlabeni futhi lokhu kuzokwenziwa ezweni amandla kaMoya oNgcwele, kodwa ngesikhathi esithile laMandla ayosiholela kulo lonke iqiniso futhi IMEMEZA ISIKHATHI kuthina. Kulapho “ama-Adventist” anamuhla ethanda ukuyeka ukufunda futhi asifinyeze lesi sisho:
kepha nxa esefikile yena, uMoya weqiniso, uzakuniholela ekungeneni kwakhe konke iqiniso: ngokuba akayikuzikhulumela ngokwakhe; kepha lokho akuzwayo uyakukukhuluma, anibonise nina izinto ezizayo. (UJohn 16: 13)
Ngakho uMoya oNgcwele ukhombisa ikusasa, futhi lomzuzu uzoba nini? Akubanga ngesikhathi sokuna kwemvula yokuqala ngePhentekoste lika-AD 31, kodwa ukuthululwa kwemvula yamuva kusukela ngo-2010 futhi ngendlela ekhulayo kusukela ngoJanuwari 2013, njengoba sizobonisa ezifundweni ezengeziwe kuwebhusayithi yethu.
Akubanga nezethu ukwazi usuku oluqondile lokubuya kwangempela kwaze kwaba uJanuwari 2013. Kwadingeka senze iphutha elifanayo nelabakwaMiller ngokusheshisa unyaka, ukuze abantu baxwayiswe ngokuphuthumayo. Ngeke sibambezele usuku isikhathi eside, njengoba kushiwo kwesinye isitatimende esivela ku-Ellen G. White osicaphunayo. Sizoba nephutha ngonyaka owodwa kuphela, njengalokho osekwenzekile kanye ngaphambili.
Kuzo zonke izimpikiswano eziphikisana nokumiswa kwesikhathi, awusiboni isikhathi esiphila kuso nalapho u-Ellen G. White ayephila khona nokuthi yimuphi umsebenzi okwakumelwe awufeze. Yingakho usebenzisa izitatimende zakhe ngendlela engafanele. Asisekho phambi kohambo lwasehlane lweminyaka eyi-120 futhi asikwazi futhi ukufeza umsebenzi wokunikeza umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu ngaphandle kwamandla kaMoya oNgcwele kanye nokunye ukukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili, ngoba siyingxenye yebandla lama-Adventist elachitheka futhi eliwohlokayo elingahlanganise lutho nebandla ngo-1888. Noma ubani ongakunaki lokhu akagcini nje ngokubeka ibandla engozini kodwa nawo wonke umsebenzi uJesu asinike wona ukuba siwenze, futhi lokhu kusho ukuthi hhayi umhlaba wonke kuphela, kodwa ngisho noNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe uyonqotshwa uSathane kulesi sigaba sokugcina sokwaHlulela okukhulu.
Ingabe ufuna ukubeka lokho engozini futhi uqhubeke ucabangela izibalo zami zezinkanyezi nje “ezinekhono” ngaphandle kokuqinisekisa ubufakazi beBhayibheli? Ingabe uzoqhubeka nokusho ukuthi akwenzekanga lutho ngo-2012, nakuba wena ngokwakho wabhala kujenali yakho ngokushushiswa okwaqala ngokumelene nezinceku ezithembekile zesigijimi sengelosi yesithathu njengoWalter Veith noHugo Gambetta ngaso kanye isikhathi esibekelwe i-Orion sophawu lwesihlanu?
Kumelwe ukuba othile uyimpumputhe kangakanani, ukuze angaboni ukuthi ulwazi lwethu njengabafundi bokukhanya kwengelosi yesine luyaqhubeka lukhula, nokuthi akukabikho konke okugoqwe lokhu kukhanya osekubonakalisiwe? Kungakho sihlala sinemba kakhulu ekufundeni amawashi amabili amakhulu kaNkulunkulu.
Esinye sezihloko zethu ezilandelayo sizokucacisa ngokusobala ukuthi “asibheki phambili” nje kuphela, kodwa ukuthi umsebenzi wethu kwakuwukukhombisa umlando wabantu be-Advent kanye nokuphambuka kwabo ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu, ngisho nokuxazulula zonke izimfumbe zesikhathi eBhayibhelini ngosizo lukaMoya oNgcwele. Lokhu kukhanya kwaqala ukukhanya lapho siqaphela ukuthi asikwazi nje kuphela usuku lokufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni, kodwa ngisho nosuku lokuzalwa kwakhe engumuntu, nokudalwa kuka-Adamu kuze kube yilolu suku. Lolu lwazi luvula lonke iBhayibheli, futhi manje sesiyaqonda ukuthi kungani kunikezwa izikhawu zesikhathi kuphela eBhayibhelini kodwa azikho izinsuku, okwenza kube nzima ukusho isikhathi esinembile sokulandelana kwezikhathi zomlando weBhayibheli ngisho nasezinkulungwaneni zezazi. Ngelinye ilanga, uMoya oNgcwele wawungeke umemezele ikusasa kuphela ngosuku lokuza kukaJesu kodwa wawuzosiqondisa kulo KONKE iqiniso mayelana nesikhathi.
Leli qiniso kanye nesixazululo semibuzo emikhulu yeBhayibheli ngokuvumelana okuphelele kweminyaka yesabatha, iminyaka yejubili, kanye nemininingwane enikezwe uNkulunkulu emiBhalweni, kwakuyisipho sosuku lokuzalwa uJesu asihlelela ibandla laKhe leqiniso ngo-Okthoba 27, 2012. Nokho, iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist lasenqaba lesi sipho sosuku lokuzalwa futhi lakhetha ukuvula iSabata Eligoqwe ngenkohliso eliqukethe isipho esithi “ISabatha Eligoqwe Ngenkohliso”. Ingabe uzozikopisha nakuba uthembele kakhulu ekuqondiseni kukaNkulunkulu ngoMoya Wesiprofetho, noma ubungeke yini uhlale phansi nami futhi ucabange kabusha izingcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White futhi uzifake engqikithini yazo efanele?
Funa eBhayibhelini “izincwadi” ezichazwa ngokuthi azikacutshungulwa futhi uzothola ukuthi zimbili kuphela izincwadi: Incwadi yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa uJesu aqala ukuyivula ngo-1846, kanye neNcwadi yokuduma okuyisikhombisa, eyayingakabhalwa. Incwadi yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa manje isicishe yavulwa ngokuphelele phambi kwethu e-Orion, kodwa muva nje sifike ezingeni lokukwazi ukuyihumusha kahle. Lokhu kwahlelwa uNkulunkulu futhi kwakungelona iphutha labahleli besikhathi. Incwadi yeMidumo eyisiKhombisa nokho yayingakabhalwa uJohane uMbonakalisi ngoba ilanga nenyanga kwakumele kulandele indlela yakhona kuqala kusukela ngo-1841 kuya ku-2012, ukuze sikwazi ukuyibona ibhalwe phambi kwethu.
Zonke lezi zincazelo ezimangalisayo nezijulile azinakwa ngokuphelele abaphikisana nesikhathi kanye nama-anti-Adventist. Abayiboni inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. Abangeni ngempela eNgcwelengcwele lapho uJesu ayezobafundisa khona ngoMoya Wakhe, futhi abazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukubambisana noNkulunkulu.
Baphikelela ekuqondeni kwabo okusithekile (noma okumnyama) kwemibhalo yesithunywa sikaNkulunkulu, esasithunywe ukuba silungise abantu abahlulekayo nabagcina behlulekile ohambweni olude lokunqamula ehlane, futhi ekugcineni bathole isijeziso esibi (amabhola omlilo). Yilabo kuphela abaqaphelayo ukuthi uNkulunkulu akenzi lutho ngaphandle kokwazisa abaprofethi Bakhe abamazi ngempela uNkulunkulu futhi bangabantwana Bakhe beqiniso. Bayabona ukuthi uhlala enikeza isikhathi ngaphambi kokufika kwembubhiso enkulu ngoba akaguquki, futhi lokhu kuhambisana nesimo Sakhe sothando. UNkulunkulu ngeke aguqule isimo Sakhe ekupheleni komsebenzi; Ubelokhu enza ngomgomo wesambulo sesikhathi esiqhubekayo futhi usaqhubeka nokwenza kanjalo nanamuhla.
Ngalolu lwazi, ake siqale ukuhlola isicaphuni ngasinye owabelane ngaso:
Kusukela embonweni ka-1851 emiBhalweni Yakuqala
INkosi yangikhombisa ukuthi umlayezo kufanele uhambe, nokuthi akufanele ulengiswe ngesikhathi; ngoba isikhathi ngeke siphinde sibe uvivinyo. Ngabona ukuthi abanye babethola isasasa elingamanga, elivela esikhathini sokushumayela, ukuthi umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu ungema phezu kwesisekelo sawo, futhi awudingi isikhathi sokuwuqinisa, futhi uzohamba ngamandla amakhulu, wenze umsebenzi wawo, futhi uzofinyezwa ekulungeni. {1SM 188.3}
Yebo, iNkosi yabonisa u-Ellen G. White ngo-1851 ukuthi imilayezo yezingelosi ezintathu kwakungafanele incike osukwini oluthile, ngoba abantu babemiselwe ukuya ezulwini ngo-1890 ngaphandle kokukhanya okugcwele kwengelosi yesine. Umsebenzi wawuzo “finyezwa” ngomyalezo othi “Ukulunga Ngokukholwa” olethwe uWagoner noJones. Ukube lokho kwakwenzeka, khona-ke isikhathi sasingeke siphinde sibe uvivinyo futhi isigijimi kubantu “sasingeke sidinge isikhathi sokusiqinisa.”
Akwenzekanga kanjalo, ngakho isililo saphakathi kwamabili sasidinga ukuphindaphindwa ukuze kunikezwe abantu amandla njengasekukhalalweni kokuqala kwaphakathi kwamabili.
Omunye umbono:
“Ngabona abanye benza konke kugoba kulekwindla elandelayo; okungukuthi, ukwenza izibalo zabo, kanye nokulahla impahla yabo ngokubhekisela kuleso sikhathi. Ngabona ukuthi lokhu kwakungalungile ngenxa yalesi sizathu: esikhundleni sokuya kuNkulunkulu nsuku zonke, futhi nokufisa ngobuqotho ukwazi umsebenzi wabo wamanje, babheka phambili, futhi benza izibalo zabo njengokungathi bazi ukuthi umsebenzi wawuzoqeda lokhu kuwa, ngaphandle kokubuza umsebenzi wabo kaNkulunkulu nsuku zonke.
EG White. “Kukopishwe eMilton, June 29, 1851, AAG” {1SM 188.4–189.1}
Kwakungumbono weqembu lama-Adventist eliphambukayo elalibeka isikhathi ngokungeyikho ekwindla ka-1851, futhi lisho izizathu ezembula ukugqugquzelwa okungalungile kwalabo abathintekayo. Umphakathi wethu ubuza uNkulunkulu ngobuqotho nsuku zonke ukuthi uyini umsebenzi wethu ngaso sonke isikhathi. Akekho kithi oke wakudebeselela ukushumayela izigijimi zezingelosi ezintathu selokhu abhapathizwa. Sonke silandela umlayezo wezempilo kanye nekhodi yokugqoka futhi sashiya "amadolobha" ukuze siphile impilo yezwe, yilokho u-Ellen G. White ayeluleka.
Umbuzo wansuku zonke ngentando kaNkulunkulu waholela ekutheni uNkulunkulu alungiselele iqembu labantu isikhathi eside ukuba libe umkhulumeli Wakhe. Abanye bamalungu ethu babona izifundo zethu noma ipulazi lethu lisesimweni esingokomfanekiso ngamaphupho isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba bawele izindlela zethu noma bake bazi ngathi. Lapho befunda izifundo, ngezinye izikhathi base bazi ukuthi zivela kuNkulunkulu. Babe sebesithinta ukuze batadishe nathi futhi sabahlola ngeBhayibheli. Abanye bathola amaphupho nemibono evela kuNkulunkulu, njengoba kwenza u-Ellen G. White, isikhathi ngasinye lapho sifika eqophelweni elithile ezifundweni zethu lapho singakwazi ukuthuthuka sisodwa. Ekugcineni, abanye bayalwa nguNkulunkulu ukuba beze kithi eParaguay futhi sibamukele ngemfudumalo.
Akukhona nje ukuthi izifundo zethu zinikezwe uMoya oNgcwele, kodwa futhi waqinisekisa izihloko zethu zakamuva kanye nezihloko ezichaza 1335, 1290 futhi 1260 izinsuku. Siphinde sathola isiqinisekiso sokuthi sasilutholile uthi lwekhandlela lapho siludlulisa osukwini lwama-20 lohambo lwethu olungokomfanekiso oluya eNgcwelengcwele sisuka egcekeni elingaphandle lendlu engcwele yasezulwini.
NgoMoya oNgcwele safunda usuku lapho imvula yamuva yaqala ukuthelwa ngezinga elikhulu kwabanye. Ngemva kwesikhashana, ngobusuku obandulela iSabatha likaJanuwari 5, 2013, lonke iqembu lanikezwa ukukhanya kokuthi izibalo zethu kuze kube manje zaziqukethe iphutha lonyaka owodwa ncamashi. Njengoba uDade White wayeke wabona embonweni, iNkosi yabamba isandla sayo ngamabomu phezu kwaleli phutha ukuze sixwayise iBandla le-SDA ngaphambi kokuba isikhathi sabo somusa siphele, lokho esakwenza entwasahlobo ka-2012 ngokwesiqondiso sikaMoya oNgcwele.
Ekubaleni kwethu sasingazange sicabange ukuthi unyaka wezinhlupho uhlukanisiwe nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo, ngakho sasishaye indiva iqiniso lokuthi kunezikhathi ezimbili ezedlulanayo zokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo kanye nesikhathi sosizi, zombili ezithatha iminyaka emithathu nengxenye. Isikhathi sosizi sihlanganisa isikhathi esincane sosizi nesikhathi esikhulu sosizi, futhi kuphela isikhathi esikhulu sosizi esihlanganisa nezinhlupho. Konke lokhu kuvezwe ncamashi kuyi-Orion kanye noMkhumbi Wesikhathi; sasimane senza iphutha lokufunda, futhi lokho kungenxa yentando yaphezulu.
Ngoba nsuku zonke sifuna intando kaNkulunkulu futhi sasilungele ukushiya ukuphila okunethezeka kwamakhaya ethu, futhi abaningi bethu ngisho nemindeni yabo, ukuze bakhonze umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, January 5, 2013 sathola konke ukukhanya emlayezweni wesikhathi futhi saqala ukuchibiyela izihloko nezifundo ezifanele ngokomyalo kaNkulunkulu. Besizibuza ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi lokhu kuhlobene nokubekwa uphawu (bona {EW.14.1}), ngoba kusobala kuze kube manje besingalwazi usuku nehora, nakuba besicabanga kanjalo. Nokho, akekho kithi owayeke wathi ubekwe uphawu! Leyo yinto okungekho noyedwa kithi obengayicabangela ngaphandle kokuqinisekiswa kwaphezulu.
Izolo ebusuku, ngo-January 9, 2013, kwenzeka ukuthi sithole ukuthi lokhu konke kwakuwukugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho sika-Ellen G. White, abaningi abangazange basiqaphele njengesiprofetho ...
Ekuqaleni kweSabatha elingcwele, January 5, 1849, sahlanganyela emkhulekweni nomndeni kaMfowethu Belden eRocky Hill, Connecticut, futhi uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwethu. Ngathathwa ngombono ngayiswa endaweni engcwelengcwele, lapho ngabona khona uJesu esakhulumela u-Israyeli. Phansi kwengubo Yakhe kwakukhona insimbi nehalananda. Khona-ke ngabona ukuthi uJesu wayengeke asuke endaweni engcwelengcwele kuze kube yilapho wonke amacala enqunywa ukuba kube ngeyokusindiswa noma ekubhujisweni, nokuthi ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwalungeke lufike kuze kube yilapho uJesu eseqedile umsebenzi Wakhe endaweni engcwelengcwele, wakhumula imvunulo Yakhe yobupristi, futhi wagqoka izingubo zokuphindisela. Khona-ke uJesu uyophuma phakathi kukaBaba nomuntu, futhi uNkulunkulu ngeke esathula, kodwa athululele ulaka Lwakhe phezu kwalabo abalahle iqiniso Lakhe. Ngabona ukuthi ulaka lwezizwe, ulaka lukaNkulunkulu, nesikhathi sokwahlulela abafileyo kuhlukene futhi kuhlukile, esinye silandelana, nokuthi uMikayeli wayengasukumi, nokuthi isikhathi sosizi, esingakaze sibe khona, sasingakaqali. Izizwe manje ziyathukuthela, kodwa lapho uMpristi wethu Omkhulu eseqedile umsebenzi Wakhe endlini engcwele, uyosukuma, agqoke izingubo zokuphindisela, bese kuthululwa izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina. {I-EW 36.1}
Nakuba sonke sasiwazi lo mbono, sasisazifakile izinhlupho enkathini yeminyaka emithathu nengxenye yokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo, futhi lokhu singakuchaza nje namuhla ngokuthi uNkulunkulu wayesigcinile ngempela isandla Sakhe phezu kwalolu daba.
Qaphela usuku lombono: Kwakunjalo January 5, 1849, eminyakeni eyi-164 ngaphambili January 5, 2013, lapho sithola ukukhanya kulesi sici sesikhathi futhi sakwazi ukubona ekugcineni usuku oluqondile lokuza kukaJesu. Umehluko wesikhathi phakathi kombono ka-Ellen G. White kanye nokuza kukaJesu ekwindla ka-2016 iminyaka 168 ngendlela yamaJuda yokubala, futhi iqondana neminyaka engu-168 eyatholakala embonweni kaDaniyeli 12, okuyiyona eyanikeza isihluthulelo sokuchaza iwashi le-Orion.
Isigaba sokugcina salo mbono ka-Ellen G. White simi kanje:
Ngabuza ingelosi engangihamba nayo incazelo yalokho engakuzwa, nokuthi izingelosi ezine zase zizokwenzani. Wathi kimi uNkulunkulu ovimbe amandla, futhi Wanika izingelosi Zakhe umyalo phezu kwezinto ezisemhlabeni; ukuthi izingelosi ezine zazinamandla avela kuNkulunkulu okubamba imimoya emine, futhi zase zizoyikhulula; kodwa lapho izandla zabo zisaxegezeka, nemimoya yomine isizovunguza, iso lesihe sikaJesu lagqolozela. insali eyayingabekwa uphawu, futhi Waphakamisa izandla Zakhe kuBaba futhi wamncenga ukuthi wayechithe igazi Lakhe ngenxa yabo. Khona-ke enye ingelosi yathunywa ukuba indize ngokushesha izingelosi ezine futhi ithi zibambe. izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zaze zabekwa uphawu ngophawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo emabunzini azo. {I-EW 38.2}
“Insali” kukhulunywa ngayo “engabekwa uphawu.” Ngenxa yalokho, ngo-January 5, 2013 owafeza lo mbono ongokwesiprofetho ka-Ellen G. White kufanele ukuthi kwakukhona iqembu labantu ngalolo suku ababebekwe uphawu. Ngakho, umbuzo wethu waphendulwa mayelana nokuthi manje sesiyalazi yini usuku olufanele. Kwabuye kwaphendulwa ekugcineni ukuthi samukelwa yini “njengabahluleli enkantolo kaNkulunkulu,” ngoba u-Ellen G. White waze wabiza lombono odumile ngokuthi “Ukutywinwa”.
Obani ababeyoba nobuso obukhazimulayo, uma kungebona labo abanalezi zimo noNkulunkulu?
Masinyane [bheka iSithasiselo.] sezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu njengamanzi amaningi, asinika amanzi usuku nehora lokufika kukaJesu. Abangcwele abaphilayo, abayizi-144,000 ngenani, babelazi futhi beliqonda izwi, kuyilapho ababi babecabanga ukuthi kuwukuduma nokuzamazama komhlaba. Ngenkathi uNkulunkulu ekhuluma isikhathi, Wathela phezu kwethu uMoya oNgcwele, futhi ubuso bethu baqala ukukhanya nokukhanya ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, njengoba kwenza uMose lapho ehla entabeni yaseSinayi.
Abangu-144,000 XNUMX babephelele Uphawu futhi ubumbene ngokuphelele. Emabunzini abo kwakulotshwe, uNkulunkulu, iJerusalema Elisha, nenkanyezi ekhazimulayo enegama elisha likaJesu. {EW 14.1-15.1}
Emabunzini ethu kulotshiwe ukuthi:
- “Nkulunkulu” uBaba wethu, esifunge ngaye ukuthi sizofakaza ngaye, futhi esadela konke ngenxa yakhe.
- “IJerusalema Elisha” endaweni evulekile e-Orion, lapho ikhaya lethu likhona, nalapho sizobe sihamba khona noJesu maduze.
- Futhi siyayazi “inkanyezi ekhazimulayo enegama elisha likaJesu,” I-Alnitak.
Ingabe laba ngabantu u-Ellen G. White asho ngabo embonweni wakhe wokulwa nokumiswa kwesikhathi kaJuni 1851:
Esikhundleni sokuya kuNkulunkulu nsuku zonke, futhi befisa ngobuqotho ukwazi umsebenzi wabo wamanje, babheka phambili, futhi benza izibalo zabo njengokungathi bazi ukuthi umsebenzi uzoqeda lokhu kuwa, ngaphandle kokubuza umsebenzi wabo kaNkulunkulu nsuku zonke. {1SM 188.4}
Akumele senze iphutha lokususa izingcaphuno kumongo wazo wesikhashana ukuze siwasebenzise emaqenjini abantu ababengebona nganoma iyiphi indlela izethameli eziqondiwe zombhalo. Maduze sizobhala okuningi ku Isipho Sesiprofetho ingxenye mayelana nokubuyiselwa koMoya Wesiprofetho phakathi kwethu ngamadodana namadodakazi nezinceku nezincekukazi (IZenzo 2:17). Unephutha uma uthi u-Ernie Knoll wayengumprofethi wamanga kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngenxa yokuqhosha nokuhaha, akazange afeze umsebenzi wakhe futhi uzibeke phezu kukaNkulunkulu, njengoba kwenza uSathane. U-Ernie Knoll ufanelana nohlobo lweBhayibheli lukaBhalami, owayefuna ukuqalekisa abantu kodwa ekwazi ukusho izibusiso kuphela. Ngakho, u-Ernie Knoll wayesesebenzele uNkulunkulu isikhathi eside, kodwa lapho eseba yize, amaphupho akhe ahlanganiswa nemiyalezo kaSathane. Kwakufanele kusetshenziswe ukuqonda. Ngosuku oluthile ngo-2010, u-Ernie Knoll waba nephupho lokugcina elalivela kuNkulunkulu ngokuphelele, kodwa kuze kube namuhla amaphupho akhe asaqukethe izibusiso ezithile ngathi. Wabe esezinikela enkosini yakhe entsha. Ngakho-ke, elinye iqembu labantu lamiswa enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu elathola amaphupho nemibono ngoMoya oNgcwele ngemva kokuba ethole lelo phupho lokugcina elaliqukethe umyalezo ongenaphutha kithi. Akukho okwenzeka ngengozi ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu, futhi konke kwenzeka ngokwewashi leSikhathi elikhulu elingcwele, esinelungelo lokulifunda.
Umbuzo wokuphela kokuhlolwa
Izincwadi zifikile kimi zingibuza ukuthi nginakho yini ukukhanya okukhethekile mayelana nesikhathi lapho ukuvivinywa kuzovalwa; futhi ngiphendula ngokuthi nginalesi sigijimi kuphela okumelwe ngisishumayele, ukuthi manje sekuyisikhathi sokusebenza kusesemini, ngoba ubusuku buyeza lapho okungekho muntu ongasebenza ngabo. Manje, manje, sekuyisikhathi sokuba sibhekisise, sisebenze, futhi silinde... Kodwa akukho myalelo kunoma ubani ukuba ahlole umBhalo ukuze abone, uma kungenzeka, ukuthi ukuvivinywa kuzovalwa nini. UNkulunkulu akanawo umyalezo onjalo kunoma yiziphi izindebe ezifayo. Ubengeke abe nolimi olufayo olumemezela lokho Akufihlile emikhandlwini yaKhe eyimfihlo.— The Review and Herald, October 9, 1894.1SM 191.2}
Ikhwotheshini yakho yesibili iwela ngesizathu esifanayo, nokucatshangelwa okwengeziwe okumbalwa. Kulokhu sisenkathini yangemva kuka-1890 ngemva kokuphoxeka okukhulu kwaseMinneapolis kwase kwenzekile. IBandla lama-Adventist lalinecala lokugeja uphawu ngokuqondene nokuya eMbusweni. U-Ellen G. White waze “waxoshwa” e-Australia futhi kwadingeka akhuthazelele ubutha babazalwane. Abaningi ababengasohlangothini lwakhe bakhumbula iziprofetho zakhe zokuthi kwakuzokwenzekani ngokushesha, futhi bafuna ukwazi ukuthi kwenzekani, ngakho babuza mayelana nokuphela kokuvivinywa. U-Ellen G. White waba ngaphansi kwengcindezi ekhulayo ngoba ngo-1894 wayesebonile ukuthi ibandla cishe lalingeke lingene eKhanani lasezulwini isikhathi eside futhi esingenasiphelo. Lokhu kwamcindezela kakhulu. Akabange esakwazi ukududuza abantu kodwa kwadingeka ashumayele lokho uNkulunkulu ayekushilo: “Sinye kuphela isigijimi okufanele ngisimemezele”... “akusikho okwenu ukwazi izikhathi noma izinkathi uBaba azibeke emandleni akhe.”
Futhi nokho... iNkosi yamnika amazwi enduduzo kulabo abaqondayo ukuthi izitatimende zesiprofetho zingachazwa kanjani ngendlela efanele.
Wathi manje ‘kwakuwusuku’ ababezosebenza ngalo: Usuku lwasezulwini lweminyaka engu-168 lokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo. “Ubusuku lapho kungekho muntu ongasebenza” bubhekisela esikhathini esikhulu sosizi. Futhi phakathi nesikhathi esincane senkathazo esidlula ukwahlulela kwabaphilayo, lapho labo ababekwe uphawu, ngokwencazelo, ngeke besaba "abafayo". Impela, alukho “ulimi olufayo” oluke lumemezele isikhathi esifanele sokubuya kwesibili kukaJesu, uNkulunkulu uBaba akwembulela kuphela abahluleli Bakhe, ekugcina kuyimfihlo kubo bonke abanye abayozwa kuphela ukuduma. Nathi sasisengabantu “abafayo” kwaze kwaba uJanuwari 5, 2013, njengoba sasingakasimemezeli isikhathi esifanele ngenxa yokuthi isifundo sethu sasihlanganisa iphutha elincane lonyaka owodwa ncamashi. Uma singakholwa ukuthi singomunye wabangu-144,000, kusho ukuthi ngokwencazelo asisafani, ngoba leli qembu labantu ngeke likubone ukufa ngaphambi kokuba uJesu afike futhi abayise eMzini Ongcwele:
UMose wayekhona ukuze amelele labo abayovuswa kwabafileyo ekubonakaleni kukaJesu kwesibili. Futhi u-Eliya, owaguqulwa engakuboni ukufa, wayemelela labo abayoguqulelwa ekungafini ekubuyeni kwesibili kukaKristu futhi bayoguqulelwa ezulwini ngaphandle kokubona ukufa. Abafundi babona ngokumangala nokwesaba ubukhosi obuhle bukaJesu kanye nefu elabasibekela, futhi bezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu ngobukhosi obesabekayo, lithi, “Lo uyiNdodana yaMi ethandekayo; Yizwe.” {I-EW 164.3}
Ingabe kuwukugabadela ngathi ukucabanga ukuthi manje sesingomunye wabangu-144,000 144,000? Ngokuvamile, ingabe umuntu uyoke azi ukuthi ungomunye wabangu-XNUMX XNUMX?
U-Ellen G. White uphendula lowo mbuzo ngokungagunci:
Akuyona intando Yakhe ukuthi bangene ezingxabanweni ngemibuzo engeke ibasize ngokomoya, njengokuthi, Ngubani ozoqamba izinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane? Lokhu labo abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu bayokwazi ngesikhashana nje ngaphandle kokungabaza.—Imiyalezo Ekhethiwe 1:174 (1901). {I-LDE 269.1}
Njengoba sifundile, ukubekwa uphawu kusazi isikhathi, futhi uphawu ngokwalo ‘lunguNkulunkulu, iJerusalema Elisha nenkanyezi enegama elisha likaJesu. Labo abalaziyo igama elisha likaJesu futhi balibize (balithwale emabunzini) babekwe uphawu.
USathane unemfundiso ephikisana nakho konke ukukhanya okusha okuvela kuNkulunkulu ukuze afihle ukukhanya okusha ukuze kungakwazi ukungena ezinhliziyweni zabantu.
USathane ubelokhu ephehla imimoya yemfundiso ngokumelene nomuntu kaMoya oNgcwele eminyakeni embalwa edlule futhi kube nokuvuselelwa kokuphikisana noZiqu-zintathu ezinhlwini zethu kunanini ngaphambili. Umlayezo wengelosi yesine uwumyalezo kaKristu, olethwa uMuntu kaMoya oNgcwele. I-Orion kanye Nomkhumbi Wesikhathi womabili akhombisa isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu kathathu. I-Orion yenza kanjalo ngezinkanyezi ezintathu zamabhande kanye ne-Vessel of Time ngama-triples onyaka. Noma ubani ophika uMuntu kaMoya oNgcwele akakwazi ukwamukela lezi zifundo.
Imfundiso yabaphathi bemikhosi phakathi kwethu, abathi kufanele sigcine izinsuku ezingcwele zamaJuda futhi ukuze babekwe uphawu, yenza kube mnyama ukukhanya ukugcwaliseka yezinsuku zemikhosi iyindlela enhle kunazo zonke yokugcina izinsuku ezingcwele. UJesu wagcwalisa imikhosi yasentwasahlobo ngokufa Kwakhe esiphambanweni, ngalokho eqeda yonke imikhosi, futhi esikhundleni sayo wafaka iSidlo SeNkosi Sakusihlwa. Ungaphezu kwezinsuku zemikhosi Azibeka Yena, ngoba Wagcwalisa ingxenye yawo. Wayengumanduleli wamaHeberu 6:20 futhi silandela ngemva Kwakhe njengama-Adventist agcwalisa uSuku Lokubuyisana lwasezulwini kusukela ngo-1844. Nokho, kushiyelwa isizukulwane sokugcina ukugcwalisa yonke eminye imikhosi yokuwa. Lokhu kuboniswa ikakhulukazi eMkhunjini Wesikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu abonisa khona ukuthi uMkhosi wamaCilongo wagcwaliseka ngokukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili kwenhlangano yamaMillerite nokuthi uSuku Lokubuyisana lwagcwaliseka ngohambo olude lweSonto Lama-Adventist kuze kube ngu-2010. Manje sekusele kuphela ukugcwaliseka koMkhosi Wamadokodo, ngokukhuthazela kwethu esikhathini esikhulu sokuhlupheka, ngaphandle koSuku LokuPhepha (uJesu Kristu) uzogcwaliseka Uyeza ukuzothatha abantu baKhe abayise ekhaya. Kuze kube manje, akekho umgcini-mkhosi oye wavuma izifundo ngoba uSathane ubayengele enkolweni emsulwa evala amehlo abo emaqinisweni amakhulu nahloniphekile.
ISabatha Lenyanga lasungulwa nguSathane ukuze afihle imfundiso yamaSabatha aPhakeme efaniswe noJohane 19:31. U-Ellen G. White wathi “sizolimemezela ngokugcwele iSabatha” ekuqaleni kwesikhathi sosizi. Qaphela ukuthi uthe kuzoba ngaphambi kwesikhathi esincane senkathazo, esizoqala maduze nje, nangaphambi kwezinhlupho. Umkhumbi Wesikhathi awulutho ngaphandle kohlu lwawo wonke amaSabatha aPhakamileyo emlandweni weBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist, olusinika ulwazi oluningi ngezigaba eziyisikhombisa zokuhlanzwa kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu. Akekho umgcini weSabatha wenyanga ongaqonda noma amukele uHlu LweSabatha Oluphakeme, olwaziwa nangokuthi Incwadi Yemidumo eyisikhombisa, ngoba kubo iSabatha ngalinye lemikhosi ngokuzenzakalela liyiSabatha Eliphakeme. Siyazi, nokho, ukuthi iSabatha Eliphezulu lenzeka kuphela lapho iSabatha eliwumkhosi liba ngeSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa. Iqiniso lisithwe yilo mkhankaso omkhulu kaSathane.
Nokho, umsebenzi wakhe wobuciko uyimfundiso esanda kuvela. Ama-Adventist amaningi asebenzisa “amagama angcwele” futhi. Babizwa ngokuthi “iSacred Name Movement.” Bafundisa ukuthi igama likaJesu (Yeshua) nelikaYise (uYahweh) kuphela elinamandla okufinyelela endlebeni kaNkulunkulu. Baphinde baphambuke kulokhu bangene emthethweni wamanga futhi nakanjani basebenzisa igama elidala, esikhundleni segama elisha eliprofethiwe leNkosi yamakhosi noMbusi wababusi. Nokho, uBaba uqobo Lwakhe uye wembula ku-Orion, eNcwadini yeziMpawu EziyisiKhombisa, igama elisha likaJesu, okumele laziwe manje yibo bonke abayoba ngabayi-144,000, ngoba isiprofetho sika-Ellen G. White sithi bayothwala leli gama emabunzini abo.
EParaguay, kunabantu abayisikhombisa abakhethwe uNkulunkulu njengabaholi bebandla labangu-144,000 XNUMX. Ziyizinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa u-Ellen G. White azibonile ekhanda lesonto lama-Adventist elihlanziwe. Lapho ngokushesha kuyobe sekubacacele ama-Adventist ayizithulu nezimpumputhe ukuthi iziprofetho sezifezekile, leli dlanzana labantu liyokwanda ngokushesha ngenani, nakuba bembalwa namuhla abamukele lawa maqiniso. Noma kunjalo, abantu ababethole ukukhanya okungaka ngo-Ellen G. White, njengoba base bebhapathiziwe kakade eqinisweni njengama-Adventist futhi baba nethuba lokubona lokho okushiwo umlayezo wengelosi yesine ngaphambi kwanoma ubani omunye, bayodumala kabuhlungu ngoba ukuze bahlawulele icala labo lokwenqaba ukukhanya okusha, okuwukuphela kwendlela esele yabo yindlela yokufela ukholo. Bonke abanye abasebenzi behora leshumi nanye bayophuma—njengoba u-Ellen G. White eprofethile—kulabo ababizelwe ukuphuma eBhabhiloni. Yeka ihlazo kubantu abahluleke kabili ababethole umusa nokukhanya okungaka okuvela eNkosini ngomsebenzi wesithunywa saKhe, u-Ellen G. White.
Abantu bakhe abakaze bembule ingcebo emakhasini ayizi-100,000 emibhalo yakhe futhi baye babhala kuphela izinkulumo ezingaqondwa kahle ngokumelene nokumiswa kwesikhathi. Babevilapha kakhulu ukuba bangcolise izandla zabo ngokumba ngenkuthalo futhi bamelene ne-Ecumenical Movement, nayo emelene nokumiswa kwesikhathi. Inkonzo yomshoshaphansi kaSathane, amaJesuit, yazi ukuthi ngelinye ilanga isikhathi siyobe sesaziwa abantu bakaNkulunkulu, ngoba noSathane uyasazi isikhathi, ngoba uyazi ukuthi isikhathi sakhe sifushane. Nokho uJesu uqobo Lwakhe oyiNkosi yesikhathi akasazi isikhathi? Yeka ukuthi konke lokhu kuyinhlekisa kanjani, uma ucabanga ngakho ujule! AmaJesuit ama-Adventist abemukele ezikhundleni zawo aguqule inqwaba yawo ama-anti-Adventist eminyakeni yokuzulazula ehlane. Namuhla abazi ukuthi obani abashisekeli beqiniso.
Ukumiswa okuphambene nesikhathi kuyisikhali esikhulu sikaSathane sokulwa nabantu bakaNkulunkulu beqiniso, abayizi-144,000 okumelwe babulawe. SELED ngolwazi lwesikhathi. Abaprofethi bamanga abafana no-Harold Camping, njll. noma iziprofetho eziqanjiwe ezifana nekhalenda le-Mayan noma imibuthano yezitshalo zithunyelwa yonke indawo ukuze kuthiwe konke ukusetha isikhathi kuwubuwula. Kunini lapho isintu esike sazizwa siphephile njenganamuhla, emasontweni ambalwa ngemva kwamashumi eminyaka esiphithiphithi sika-2012, sicabanga ukuthi “ukuthula nokulondeka” kuzobusa isikhathi eside?
Futhi lithini iBhayibheli ngalesi sikhathi ngemva nje komkhankaso kaSathane omkhulu wokulwa nokuhlela isikhathi?
Ngokuba lapho bethi: Ukuthula nokulondeka; khona-ke ukubhujiswa okuzumayo kubehlele, njengomhelo phezu kowesifazane okhulelweyo; futhi kabayikuphunyuka. ( 1 Thesalonika 5:3 )
Futhi uNkulunkulu ukhomba evesini elilandelayo ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi kuyoba khona abantu abasazi isikhathi:
Kepha nina, bazalwane, anikho ebumnyameni, ukuba lolo suku lunifice njengesela. ( 1 Thesalonika 5:4 )
Ingabe udinga ngempela umata ukuze ukhishwe ngaphansi kwakho futhi ukuhlolwa kuvalwe ngaphambi kokuba uqonde ukuthi wakhe esihlabathini ngokungaqondi kwakho izitatimende zika-Ellen G. White ongakaze uzame ukuzivumelanisa?
Kulabo abawela ezicupheni zikaSathane ezimisiwe futhi baduke ezingxoxweni ezithatha iminyaka eminingi mayelana nobunjalo bukaJesu, ubunjalo bukaMoya oNgcwele, iSabatha elincike enyangeni, ukuphinyiselwa okufanele kwegama likaNkulunkulu lesiHebheru, ikhalenda lamaMaya, imibuthano yezitshalo nokuzindla amasonto mayelana nokuthi ungakwazi yini ukuphakela izinyoni efasiteleni imvuthuluka esele esele equkethe imvubelo eyengeziwe endlini yakho. izingcaphuno, ophinde wazisebenzisa kabi ngokumelene nathi:
USathane uhlale ekulungele ukugcwalisa ingqondo ngemibono nezibalo eziyochezukisa abantu eqinisweni lamanje, futhi kubenze bangafaneleki ukunikeza umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu emhlabeni. {RH March 22, 1892, isig. 4}
Sisengozini eqhubekayo yokudlula ubulula bevangeli. Kunesifiso esikhulu sabaningi sokwethusa umhlaba ngokuthile kwasekuqaleni, okuyokhuphula abantu bangene esimweni senjabulo engokomoya, futhi kuguqule uhlelo lwamanje lokuhlangenwe nakho. {RH March 22, 1892, isig. 6}
Ngokuphambene, sibona ku-Orion uJesu uqobo Lwakhe. Yena IS Iwashi kanye Naye IS ivangeli. Amanxeba akhe asipholisayo ayasikhulekela eOrion. U-Ellen G. White naye wakubona embonweni:
Ngabona izingelosi ezine ezazinomsebenzi okufanele wenziwe emhlabeni, futhi zazisendleleni ukuze ziwufeze. UJesu wembethe izingubo zobupristi. Wagqolozela insali ngesihawu, wayesephakamisa izandla Zakhe, futhi ngezwi lesihawu esijulile wamemeza, “Igazi lami, Baba, igazi Lami, igazi Lami, igazi Lami! Ngase ngibona ukukhanya okukhulu kakhulu kuvela kuNkulunkulu, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi esikhulu esimhlophe, kwachithwa konke kuJesu. Khona-ke ngabona ingelosi inomyalo ovela kuJesu, indiza ngokushesha izingelosi ezine ezazinomsebenzi okufanele zenze emhlabeni, futhi inyakazisa okuthile phezulu naphansi esandleni sayo, futhi imemeza ngezwi elikhulu: “Bamba! Bamba! Bamba! Bamba! kuze kube yilapho izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zibekwe uphawu emabunzini azo.” {I-EW 38.1}
Uma umlando weBandla lama-Adventist, owethulwe kithi kuyi-Orion kanye ne-Vessel of Time ungewona umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu, kodwa into entsha esishukumisa enjabulo engokomoya, khona-ke asizange siqonde ukuthi uyini umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu. U-Ellen G. White wathi ukukhanya kwengelosi yesine kwakuyoba “ukukhanya okudala kulethwa futhi kwafakwa kuzilungiselelo ezintsha”. Kunoma yimuphi umfundi womlando weSonto Lama-Adventist, elilotshwe ezincwadini ezimbili zikaNkulunkulu kuyi-Orion kanye ne-Vessel of Time, kusobala ukuthi akukhona ngento entsha nenhle kakhulu, kodwa mayelana nento endala nemangalisayo esingakaze siyibone ngaphambili ngombono kaNkulunkulu.
Umlayezo wesikhathi awusoze waphinda?
Ake sibheke ezinye izingcaphuno zakho ezimelene nokuhlelwa kwesikhathi ezivela kuMoya Omangalisayo Wesiprofetho, incazelo yawo yeqiniso isafihlekile ngokuphelele kwabaningi.
Ngiye ngaxwayiswa kaningi mayelana nokumiswa kwesikhathi. Ngeke kuphinde kube nomyalezo kubantu bakaNkulunkulu oyobe usekelwe ngesikhathi. Akufanele sazi isikhathi esiqondile noma sokuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele noma sokuza kukaKristu. {1SM 188.1}
Lesi yisiqalo sombono ka-Ellen G. White, umsuka wazo zonke ezinye izingcaphuno. Umongo kanye nesikhathi esabekwa kuso lesi siprofetho esinemibandela sesichazwe kabanzi. Cha, abantu be-Advent abazange bahlangabezane nombandela wokungena eJerusalema Elisha ngo-1890, lapho kwakungenzeka khona ngaphandle kokuphindaphinda kokukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili. Engqungqutheleni Jikelele yaseMinneapolis ngo-1888, uMoya oNgcwele wathululwa futhi abantu be-Advent abazange baqaphele, njengokuthululwa kusukela ngo-2010 noJanuwari 5, 2013. Isiprofetho sika-Ellen G. White asizange sigcwaliseke ngenxa yenkani yabantu bakaNkulunkulu.
INkosi ingibonisile ukuthi umyalezo wengelosi yesithathu kufanele uhambe, futhi umemezele kubantwana beNkosi abahlakazekile, kodwa akufanele ulengiswe ngesikhathi. {I-EW 75.1}
Lokhu kuphinde kube okuphuma ngokuphindaphindiwe okuphindaphindiwe kombono omfushane wasekuqaleni ka-Ellen G. White kusukela ngo-1851, ovela emaqoqweni ayishumi nanhlanu ezingcaphuno, futhi akusizi. Ayibi isikhathi eside, ayibi ngokweqiniso, futhi ngeke igcwaliseke, ngoba yayinemibandela, futhi abantu bavimbela ukuqedwa kwayo unomphela.
Ukuphela kwesikhathi esingokwesiprofetho
Lesi sikhathi, ingelosi esimemezelayo ngesifungo esikhulu, akusona ukuphela komlando waleli zwe, noma isikhathi sokuhlolwa, kodwa ngesikhathi sesiprofetho, okufanele kwandulele ukufika kweNkosi yethu. Okusho ukuthi, abantu ngeke babe nomunye umyalezo ngesikhathi esinqunyiwe. Ngemuva kwalesi sikhathi, kusukela ngo-1842 kuya ku-1844, kungaba khona akukho mkhondo oqondile wesikhathi esingokwesiprofetho. Ukubala okude kakhulu kufinyelela ekwindla ka-1844. {7BC 971.7}
Abanye baholelwa ephutheni lokugxila ngokuphindaphindiwe esikhathini esinqunyiwe sokuza kukaKristu. Ukukhanya okwase kukhanya manje endabeni yendlu engcwele kwakufanele kubabonise ukuthi asikho isikhathi esingokwesiprofetho esidlulela ekufikeni kwesibili; ukuthi isikhathi esiqondile salokhu kufika asibikezelwa. Kodwa, baphenduka ekukhanyeni, baqhubeka bebeka izikhathi ngezikhathi zokuza kweNkosi, futhi njalo badumala. {I-GC 456.1}
Kulesi sihloko Amandla kaBaba, ngichaza kabanzi umehluko phakathi kwenkathi yesiprofetho u-Ellen G. White akhulume ngayo lapha, nesikhathi njengoba kuboniswe esifungweni sendoda phezu komfula kuDaniyeli 12. “Isikhathi Sesiprofetho” siyinani lezinsuku ezishiwo umprofethi ezigcwaliseka esimweni esifanele ngesiqalo esithile. Esifungweni sikaDaniyeli 12, akukho nombolo eyodwa enikezwayo, kodwa umprofethi uvezwa ukumelwa okungokomfanekiso, okufanele kuqala kuhunyushwe kabusha kususelwa emfanekisweni weBhayibheli kunikeze indlela kamuva eholela enambeni umprofethi angazange alibone ngisho nokulibona, elingase liguqulwe ngokomgomo wosuku lonyaka. Kodwa lokhu kuguqulwa ngeke kusize uma ungenayo iNcwadi yeziMpawu Eziyisikhombisa ku-Orion ukubeka inombolo engqikithini yosuku lwasezulwini nezimpawu zehora zeminyaka eyi-7 yasemhlabeni ngehora lasezulwini.
Kwenye indawo u-Ellen G. White waze wathi asikho nesisodwa isithombe noma umfanekiso eBhayibhelini owanele ukwazi usuku lokuza kukaJesu. Futhi wayeqinisile futhi. Ngaphandle kwesayensi yezinkanyezi kanye nezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ze-Orion, umfanekiso kaDaniyeli 12 awukwazi ukubekwa endaweni yawo efanele futhi ngaphandle koMkhumbi Wesikhathi, owabhalwa yilanga nenyanga ngokwemithetho eyanikezwa nguNkulunkulu yezinsuku ezingcwele zamaJuda, sasingeke sikwazi ukuthola usuku lokuza kukaJesu. IBhayibheli lisinikeza ubufakazi bezinye izincwadi ezimbili ezavalwa kwaze kwaba muva nje, kodwa zona ngokwazo azitholakali eBhayibhelini. Zitholakala kwenye indawo, njengoba u-Ellen G. White asho. Zilotshwe lapho iBhayibheli neVangeli likaJohane kuqala khona. Zalotshwa yiZwi likaNkulunkulu emkhathini wendalo, futhi lokhu kungaqondwa kuphela “abahlakaniphileyo abayokhanya njengezinkanyezi” ( Daniyeli 12:3 ).
Ibhokisi lokuqala likaWilliam Miller kwakuyiBhayibheli. Lokhu kufanekiselwa ubukhulu obujwayelekile beBhayibheli ekuqaleni kwephupho likaMiller. U-Ellen G. White wenza leli phupho liphinde liphrintwe ku-Early Writings futhi walibeka njengelivela kuNkulunkulu.
Ngiphuphe uNkulunkulu, ngesandla esingabonakali, engithumelele ibhokisi elenziwe ngendlela emangalisayo amasentimitha ayishumi ubude nezikwele eziyisithupha, eyenziwe nge-ebony namaparele ahlotshiswe ngendlela emangalisayo. Ebhokisini kwakuxhunywe ukhiye. Ngokushesha ngathatha ukhiye futhi ngavula ibhokisi, lapho, ngokumangala nokumangala, ngalithola ligcwele zonke izinhlobo nobukhulu bamatshe ayigugu, amadayimane, amatshe ayigugu, nohlamvu lwegolide nesiliva lwazo zonke izici nenani, zihlelwe kahle ezindaweni zazo eziningana ebhokisini; futhi ahlelwa kanjalo abonakalisa ukukhanya nenkazimulo elingana nelanga kuphela. {I-EW 81.2}
Ephusheni, amagugu kaWilliam Miller, awathola eBhayibhelini, angcolile futhi alahlwa. Lokhu kwagcwaliseka ngokwedlulele emlandweni weBandla lama-Adventist. Lapho ephelelwa ithemba, kuqhamuke indoda ebuyisela yonke into ngendlela. Kumelwe kube indoda ezoqhubeka nezifundo zikaWilliam Miller futhi izenze zikhanye ngokukhanya okusha.
Ubani owayengaba lendoda yesibili, eyaqhubekisela phambili uMiller echaza unyaka wokufa kukaJesu kusukela esiprofethweni samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa sikaDaniyeli 9:24 , yaze yanquma nosuku oluqondile lokufa kwaKhe?
Kwakungaba ngubani lo muntu wesibili, ongabonanga nje kuphela ukuqinisekiswa kwesiprofetho sokuqala kokwaHlulelwa kukaDaniyeli 8:14, kodwa futhi wasusa umbhalo kaDaniyeli 12 futhi ngaleyo ndlela wathola kokubili ukuphela kokwahlulela kanye nobude bazo zombili izigaba zokwaHlulelwa kwabaphilayo nabafileyo?
Kwakungaba ngubani le ndoda yesibili, eyayingazwakala isililo sangempela saphakathi kwamabili, lesi sikhathi esingeke siphele ngokudumala okukhulu?
Ubani owayengaba lomuntu wesibili, ongafakazela ukuthi kokubili imfundiso yendlu engcwele, nokukhala kokuqala kwaphakathi kwamabili kubhalwe ezincwadini ezimbili zasezulwini, lapho uWilliam Miller enendawo ekhetheke kakhulu?
Le ndoda yesibili, “enebhokisi” elihlukile, ichazwa kanje ekugcineni kwephupho likaMiller:
Wabe esebeka ibhokisi phezu kwetafula. inkulu kakhulu futhi inhle kakhulu kuneyangaphambili, waqoqa amatshe ayigugu, amadayimane, nezinhlamvu zemali, wawaphonsa ebhokisini, kwaze kwangasali ngisho nelilodwa, nakuba amanye amadayimane ayengelikhulu kunephoyinti lephini. {I-EW 83.6}
Ngabheka ebhokisini, kodwa amehlo ami ayegcwele ukubona. Bakhanya nge ngokuphindwe kashumi inkazimulo yabo yangaphambili. Ngacabanga ukuthi zibhululwe esihlabathini yizinyawo zalabo bantu ababi ababebahlakazile babanyathela othulini. Bahlelwa bangena ukuhleleka okuhle ebhokisini, wonke umuntu endaweni yakhe, ngaphandle kobuhlungu obubonakalayo bomuntu owawaphonsa. Ngamemeza ngenjabulo enkulu, futhi lokho kumemeza kwangivusa. {I-EW 83.8}
Iyiphi incwadi (ibhokisi) engaba “nkulu futhi ibe yinhle kakhulu” kuneBhayibheli lapho uMiller athola khona “amagugu” akhe okukhulunywe ngawo esigabeni sokuqala sephupho lakhe? Ingabe ikhona incwadi enjalo emhlabeni? Ngabe ucabanga ukuthi kungenzeka kube yiKoran noma iNcwadi kaMormoni noma “Mein Kampf” kaHitler? Cha, kunencwadi eyodwa kuphela enkulu kuneBhayibheli ngokwalo. Yincwadi eyakha isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu, lapho uJesu emi phambi kukaYise futhi enxusa ngamanxeba aKhe... Orion, iNcwadi yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa.
Ukuphikisana nala maqiniso amangalisayo, ukukhanya okudala ezindaweni ezintsha, nezingcaphuno ezisetshenziswe kabi ezivela ku-Ellen G. White ezifana nalezi ezilandelayo, kulingana nokubandlulula ngokomoya nobumpumputhe:
Lapho kubekwa kaningi isikhathi esiqondile sokufika kwesibili, futhi lapho sifundiswa kabanzi, kulapho sivumelana kangcono nezinhloso zikaSathane. Ngemva kokuba isikhathi sesidlulile, ujabulela ukuhleka usulu nokudelelwa kwabameli balo, futhi ngaleyondlela ephonsa isihlamba phezu kwenhlangano enkulu yokuza ka-1843 no-1844. Labo abaphikelelayo kuleli phutha ekugcineni bayonquma usuku olukude kakhulu lwesikhathi esizayo lokuza kukaKristu. Kanjalo bayoholelwa ekuphumuleni ekulondekeni okungamanga, futhi abaningi ngeke bakhohliswe kuze kube yilapho sekwephuze kakhulu. {I-GC 457.1}
UMiller wesibili “akaphoxi” kodwa kunalokho “uphindwa kayishumi inkazimulo yakhe yangaphambili” “phezu kwenhlangano enkulu yokufika ka-1843 no-1844,” emelelwe eMkhunjini Wesikhathi njengengxenye yokuqala yeminyaka emithathu.
Futhi manje ngothando lobuzalwane, nginibuza umbuzo owodwa wokugcina. Ingabe ukholelwa ngokweqiniso ukuthi “silungiselela usuku olukude kakhulu esikhathini esizayo lokuza kukaKristu” nokuthi uJesu uzofika ngaphambi nje kwekwindla ka-2016?
Sengathi uNkulunkulu angakubusisa futhi akunike imvula yamuva ngobuningi ukuze ngokushesha wazi futhi uma ungomunye wabakhethiweyo abayizi-144,000.
UJohn Scotram, umfowenu eNkosini uJesu Kristu, obizwa ngegama elisha “I-Alnitak”, okusho ukuthi “Olimele. "
