Amandla kaBaba

Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoLwesithathu, Mashi 9, 2011, 10:45 pm ngesiJalimane ngo www.letztercountdown.org

Ngifunda wonke ama-imeyili afika kimi futhi ngiphawule ngawo ngoba ngifuna ukwenza ingxenye yami ukuze ngithole insalela yensali. Ngathola i-imeyili evela kuma-Adventist ayesanda kukholwa futhi akhangwa cishe ngomlingo ezindaweni ezifana nalezo zabagcini beSabatha beNyanga. Ngachaza ngokuningiliziwe ukuthi iSabatha lethu losuku lwesikhombisa alihlangene ngempela neSabatha Lenyanga elisakazwa yilabo bafundisi bamanga. Kusancike evikini lendalo lapho uNkulunkulu ethula umjikelezo wezinsuku eziyisikhombisa, futhi lo mjikelezo awukaze uphazamiseke.

Omunye wabafundi bami wangibonga ngokucaciswa kuphela ukuphonsa isigijimi se-Orion nesigijimi sengelosi yesine, esivela kuNkulunkulu, ngamanzi okugeza angcolile aBagcini beSabatha BamaLunar ngoba abanye abefundisi nabadala abasazi ukuthi bangazihumusha kanjani ngokunembile izitatimende zika-Ellen G. White ngokuphathelene nemiyalezo yesikhathi phakathi nenkathi yengelosi yesine. Ngezimpikiswano ezivezwe lapha, ekugcineni ngamkholisa ngokwesisekelo seBhayibheli ukuthi isigijimi sengelosi yesine ngempela sivela ku-Orion ememezela isikhathi sokuza kukaJesu.

Ngesikhathi sokubhala lokhu empeleni bengisebenzela ukuqeda uchungechunge lweShadow, kodwa benginokuningi engingakusho kubaphikisi bami maqondana necala "lokusetha isikhathi". Nakuba isimiso sami sasiminyene ngendlela emangalisayo, ngathatha isikhathi ukunikeza lapha izincazelo zokuthi kungani ngempela kusenomyalezo wesikhathi onophawu lukaNkulunkulu.

U-Ellen G. White wathi ku-Volume 1 ye-Testimonies yakhe:

Ngabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabavivinya abantu bakhe ngesikhathi ngo-1844, kodwa ukuthi akukho sikhathi esimisiwe esiye sadlula. izimpawu ezikhethekile zesandla Sakhe. {1t409.1}

Lesi sitatimende sihlale sivule ithuba lokuthi umlayezo wesikhathi ungaphinda ufike lokho “wayeyoba nezimpawu ezikhethekile zesandla sikaJesu”Labo abangaqondi ukuthi kungani ngikholelwa ukuthi isigijimi sezwi likaNkulunkulu esivela ku-Orion “sinezimpawu ezikhethekile zesandla Sakhe” kufanele baphinde bafunde ngokucophelela amaslayidi 169-178 esethulweni se-Orion.

Ngizama ukuveza lesi sihloko ngokuningiliziwe ngangokunokwenzeka ukuze ngisuse noma yikuphi ukungabaza okungapheli kokuthi isikhathi sesifikile yini sokuthi sibe nesiprofetho sesikhathi futhi. Ngizokusungula lokhu phezu kwesisekelo seBhayibheli. Ngizobonisa ukuthi lokhu kungagonyelwa ngokuvumelana ngokuphelele nezitatimende eziningi zika-Ellen G. White ngokumelene nokumiswa kwesikhathi futhi akangabazi noma igunya likaNkulunkulu. Kodwa-ke, njenganoma yiziphi izihloko zami, angisho ukuphelela. Konke engikunikeza khona ungakwazi futhi kufanele kuqondwe futhi kuhlolwe ngesifundo sangasese. Lena yindlela esisebenza ngayo eqenjini lethu elincane futhi iyona ndlela kuphela uMoya oNgcwele ongakufundisa ngayo.

Ngihlangane nabazalwane abaningi abebengithumelela imibuzo yabo mihla namalanga. Abafuni ukuzifundela bona, futhi baze bacasuke noma basabele ngokucasuka lapho ngibanikeza amathiphu ambalwa okuzifundela ngaphandle kokubanika yonke into evele isikiwe futhi idayisi futhi yanikezwa ngoqwembe lwesiliva. Cha bangane, awusoze wamazi uNkulunkulu wakho ngaleyo ndlela! Kumele uqale ukusebenza uwedwa ngoMoya oNgcwele. Mhlawumbe-ke abanye benu bazobona ukuthi kunoMuntu wangempela ofuna ukuhlala kini, hhayi nje amandla. Kodwa lokho kungenye indaba futhi sengivele ngiphendule amakhulukhulu ama-imeyili mayelana nalokho kangangokuthi anginaso isifiso sokubhala ngakho. Kwanele ukusho ukuthi ngiyakukholwa lokho u-Ellen G. White akusho ngoMoya oNgcwele, ukuthi unguMuntu wesithathu wobuNkulunkulu. Umuntu ngamunye uvivinywa isigijimi se-Orion futhi kuNkulunkulu ngamunye wethu unokucaciswa kwemibono eyiphutha, ukuze thina—uma sikwamukela ukulungiswa—sihlanganiswe okholweni. Thatha ukulungiswa noma ukushiye. Ngizobe ngiyenzile indima yami.

Ake siphendukele esihlokweni sokuhlela isikhathi. U-Ellen G. White washo okuningi ngakho, futhi ngokuvamile kuhunyushwa ukuthi kusho ukuthi "ngeke kuphinde kube khona" isiprofetho sesikhathi ... futhi nsuku zonke ngithola ama-imeyili anezitatimende ezifanayo ezivela ku-Ellen G. White, engizochaza kabanzi ngazo esihlokweni esilandelayo. Lesi sihloko sakha isisekelo sokuqonda ukuthi kungani isiprofetho sesikhathi siqala ukusebenza futhi manje.

Konke engizokuchazela kona kungatholwa yinoma yimuphi umfundi weBhayibheli oshisekayo. Kodwa angikaze ngithole into enjalo kubafundi. Njengoba sonke sazi, ngisho no-Ellen G. White kufanele ahlolwe phezu kwesisekelo somBhalo njenganoma yimuphi omunye umprofethi noma isithunywa sikaNkulunkulu, futhi ngokuqinisekile lokho kwenziwe ngokwanele ebandleni lethu. Nokho, akusiyo yonke into ayishilo eqondwa kahle futhi ibekwe endaweni yayo eyiyonayona. Uma besinesizathu sokukholelwa ukuthi u-Ellen G. White washo okuthile okungavumelani neBhayibheli, besiyophakamisa isixwayiso esibomvu futhi bekuyodingeka ukuba sinyathele kuleyondawo ngakho konke ukuqapha kwethu. Uma u-Ellen G. White ebonakala ephikisana neBhayibheli, kungaba yisibopho sethu esingcwele ukuthola ukuvumelana kulo.

Uyazi ukuthi ngithatha u-Ellen G. White njengesithunywa sikaNkulunkulu, nobufakazi bakhe njengezwi likaNkulunkulu. Empilweni yami, ngizama ukulalela konke asitshela kona. Ngilandela iseluleko sakhe, ngathuthela emaphandleni eParaguay eminyakeni engu-7 edlule. Angamukelanga nje kuphela isigijimi sezempilo somkhaya wami kanye nami, kodwa futhi ngasifundisa kubo bonke omakhelwane bethu nasezikoleni zamadolobhana aseduze. Yingakho ngibambene isikhathi eside nesikhathi sakhe ebeka izitatimende kudala ngaphambi kokuba ngizithole kubaphikisi bami ngamakhulu ngama-e-mail ngezilimi ezintathu ezahlukene. Ngiyakuqinisekisa ukuthi bengizazi zonke lezo zicaphuno. Ngizokwethula lapha isisombululo engisitholile ngokuphikisana okubonakala esitatimendeni sika-Ellen G. White kanye nomlayezo we-Orion. Inhloso yami yasekuqaleni kwakuwukuvumela umlayezo we-Orion ube nomthelela wawo kuwe. Bengifuna ukuthi udlule emibuzweni enganginayo, ukuze ukwazi ukuthandaza nokuzindla njengoba ngenza futhi uthole iqiniso ngokwakho.

Ngikubekele amacebo amaningi ocwaningweni lwe-PowerPoint. Bengicabanga ukuthi uzowathola bese ufinyelela iziphetho ezifanele. Kodwa kaningi ngangithola amameyili “abamemezeli bomyalezo wengelosi yesithathu” ababejabule ababekuphikisa ngokuqinile engangikusho ngezingcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White. Kodwa empeleni kwakuyini, ababezama ukuyicindezela? Bacasulwa amandla engelosi yesine, eyayithunywe ukusiza ingelosi yesithathu ukuba iqedele umsebenzi! Kuyadabukisa ukuthi labo bafowethu nodadewethu abakakuqondi esikufundiswa kukho Imibhalo Yakuqala. Qhubeka usakaza amapheshana akho, izincwadi, umsakazo kanye nezinhlelo zikamabonakude (okuhle futhi okuhle), kodwa luncane kangakanani ukholo lwakho uma ukholelwa ukuthi awusoze wawathola “amandla” angempela! Qhubekani nilethe ukukhanya emhlabeni wonke ngaphandle kosizo oluvela “phezulu” njengoba niye naluthola eminyakeni eyi-167 edlule, futhi nikuphike ukukhanya okuprofethiwe kwengelosi yesine okwesithathu nokokugcina! Abanye abaholi be-General Conference baze babone ukuthi ngeke siphumelele ngaphandle kosizo lukaNkulunkulu. Kodwa bahamba ngendlela engafanele futhi ngokwenqaba ukukhanya okuvela kuNkulunkulu.

Lo myalezo waze wangihlukanisa nabangane besikhathi eside abacabanga ukuthi umyalezo “awulifanele” izwe labo, isiko, noma amalungu esonto lawo. Ubungane baphela ngezinyembezi ngenxa yokuthi bacabanga ukuthi bakhulu kunoNkulunkulu, lowo ngokuhlakanipha kwaKhe okungapheli onquma isikhathi nokuvuthwa kwesivuno futhi asibonise umyalezo ovela esihlalweni Sakhe sobukhosi. MANJE emizuzwini embalwa yokugcina yomlando wesintu ngokwewashi Lakhe. Wakhetha isikhathi. Singobani thina esingalokotha sicabange ukuthi sazi kangcono, futhi singase sibambezele umlayezo? Igunya likaBaba, uMahluleli Ophakeme wendawo yonke, esesizolithola! Khonamanjalo bayalichitha ngoba abaliboni “elibafanele” abanye abafowabo abalele ubuthongo obukhulu. Bacabanga ukuthi kungabathusa ngoba umyalezo unamandla kakhulu emiqondweni yabo ebuthakathaka, buthaka ngenxa yezwe labo.

Ingabe abantu abaphika umlayezo wengelosi yokuqala, ukukhala kukaMiller phakathi kwamabili, babephakathi kwabangcwele? Kuthiwani ngalabo abashiya ngemva kokudumala okuncane kwango-1843 futhi abamukelanga igagasi lesimemezelo okwesibili ngo-1844 ngaphansi kwengelosi yesibili? Futhi ingabe sizobona noma yimaphi ama-First-day Adventist ezulwini, angalamukelanga iqiniso leSabatha lengelosi yesithathu futhi enqaba ukulimemezela ngoba ekholelwa ukuthi kwakuzonciphisa ithonya lawo lokuzihlukanisa neningi ngokuphambana neSonto elihlonishwa umhlaba wonke? Ngabe bangcwele, abacabanga ukuthi kufanele bamemezele ukukhanya okusha ngaphandle kwenhliziyo encane futhi ngemuva kweminyango evaliwe kubangane babo abakhethwe ngesandla kuphela ngoba bekhathazekile ngenqwaba yabazalwane abonakele?

Kulabo abangafuni ukukuvuma...ngisho no-Ellen G. White wayingabaza imilayezo isikhathi esifushane. Nakhu okwenzekayo, futhi kulotshiwe ukuze kube ukusiyala kwethu:

Zonke lezi zinto zazingisinda kakhulu emoyeni wami, futhi ekudidekeni ngezinye izikhathi ngangilingeka ukuba ngingabaze okuhlangenwe nakho kwami. Ngenkathi ngisemithandazweni yomndeni ngolunye usuku ekuseni, amandla kaNkulunkulu aqala ukuhlala phezu kwami, futhi umcabango wagijima engqondweni yami wokuthi kwakuyi-mesmerism, futhi ngamelana nakho. Ngokushesha ngashaywa isimungulu futhi imizuzwana embalwa ngalahleka kukho konke okungizungezile. Ngabe sengibona isono sami ekungabazeni amandla kaNkulunkulu, nokuthi ngokwenza njalo ngashaywa isimungulu, nokuthi ulimi lwami lwaluzothukululwa esikhathini esingaphansi kwamahora angamashumi amabili nane. Kwaphakanyiswa ikhadi phambi kwami, okwakulotshwe kulo ngezinhlamvu zegolide isahluko nevesi lemibhalo engamashumi amahlanu yemiBhalo. Ngemva kokuphuma embonweni, ngaqhweba isileti, futhi ngabhala kuso ukuthi ngangiyisimungulu, nalokho engangikubonile, nokuthi ngangifisa iBhayibheli elikhulu. Ngathatha iBhayibheli futhi ngavula kalula yonke imibhalo engangiyibone ekhadini. Ngangingakwazi ukukhuluma usuku lonke. Ekuseni ngakusasa umphefumulo wami wagcwala injabulo, nolimi lwami lwakhululeka ukuze ngimemeze izindumiso eziphakeme zikaNkulunkulu. Ngemva kwalokho angizange ngibe nesibindi sokungabaza noma umzuzwana ngimelane namandla kaNkulunkulu, nakuba abanye babengase bacabange ngami. {I-EW 22.2}

Eyokuqala kwemibhalo yeBhayibheli engamashumi amahlanu eyabonwa u-Ellen G. White ifundeka kanje:

Bheka, uyakuba yisimungulu, ungakwazi ukukhuluma, kuze kufike usuku okuyokwenzeka ngalo lokhu, ngokuba ungakholwanga amazwi ami ayakugcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo. ( Luka 1:20 )

Noma ubani ongabazayo futhi ongamemezeli lokho uNkulunkulu afuna bakumemezele ngesikhathi Sakhe, kufanele athule. Uma ephenduka, uthuliswa isikhashana nje; uma engaphenduki, uyoyeka phakade.

Izingelosi ezintathu zokuqala zifanekisela “ukunyakaza” okwenzeka ngokuchichima okukhulu kolwazi olungokwesiprofetho nokuqonda iBhayibheli. Ingelosi ngayinye yahlola labo ababengafuni ukwamukela umlayezo, ababewubheka njengongaphambi kwesikhathi, ongafanelekile, noma ongalungile. Ingelosi yesine imelela omunye umnyakazo onjalo. Kufanele sifunde kokudlule. Emphakathini wabantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-17, ama-Adventist ayizihlubuki agxile kwezenkolo, adidekile, anolwazi olungeyikho, futhi akholelwa ukuthi acebile, futhi ongawudingi umyalezo wengelosi yesine—ayohlungwa ashiye iqembu elincane kuphela. U-Ellen G. White uthe ngisho neningi labasebenzi behora le-11 lizovela kwamanye amabandla ngesikhathi sokukhala okukhulu.

Ngangazi kusukela ekuqaleni ukuthi umlayezo we-Orion awugcini nje ngokubhala umlando wethu wonke wesonto "odabukisayo" futhi usibizela ekuphendukeni, kodwa futhi uqukethe umlayezo wesikhathi okuyinto ngokusho kuka-Ellen G. White-ekuqaleni kokuqala-akufanele ube khona. Okubi nakakhulu, njengoba sizothola engxenyeni yokugcina yochungechunge Lwethunzi, akuwona nje unyaka wokubuya kukaJesu oveziwe kodwa “nosuku okungenzeka kakhulu” ngalo.

Kwabaningi, akwanele ukufunda umehluko ophawulekayo emibonweni emibili ka-Ellen G. White njengoba kuchazwe esihlokweni sokuqala se Usuku Nehora uchungechunge. Bafuna okwengeziwe. Ngingathanda ukwanelisa lokhu komela ulwazi manje, ngoba njengoba ngishilo kwakufanele ngihlanganise u-Ellen G. White, iBhayibheli, kanye nesifundo se-Orion ngokwami. Ngokumangalisayo, kwakungekho nkinga ngeBhayibheli, ngo-Ellen G. White kuphela.

Kukhona into iningi elikuphuthelayo: U-Ellen G. White uqobo lwakhe wafaka imibono eminingi emibhalweni yakhe ukuthi kusukela engelosini yesine kuqhubeke, kuyophinde kwenzeke isimemezelo sesikhathi. Kodwa ibandla lethu lisebuthongweni obukhulu, njengoba sonke (kufanele) sazi. Ukufunda okujulile kuphela okuzogcina umfundi angaweli noma aphikelele kulobo buthongo obufanayo. Futhi ukutadisha okujulile kuphela okuhlangene nothando lweqiniso obekungavumela i-BRI (i-Biblical Research Institute), empeleni enalowo mthwalo wemfanelo, ukuba ithole izinto engizozichaza manje.

Okokuqala, ngingathanda ukukunikeza izindinyana ezithile zeBhayibheli ongazindla ngazo. Lezi zibonakala ziphikisana nezinye zezinkulumo zikaJesu ezithi uNkulunkulu uBaba kuphela oyowazi usuku nehora. Khumbula ukuthi u-Ellen G. White wathi kufanele sifunde YONKE INTO enjena ukuze ekugcineni ihlangane ngokuzwana...

Empeleni iBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi thina kufanele wazi usuku nehora:

UJesu uthi kuJohane ekwambulweni kwakhe:

Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseSardesi loba ukuthi: Nakhu akushoyo onawoMoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu, nezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa; Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuthi unegama lokuthi uyaphila, kanti ufile. Linda, uqinise okuseleyo obesezakufa, ngokuba angifumananga imisebenzi yakho iphelele phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke khumbula ukuthi wamukele wezwa kanjani, ubambelele, uphenduke. Ngakho-ke uma ungalindi, ngiyakuza kuwe njengesela, futhi kawusoze wazi liphi ihora ngizoza phezu kwakho. (Isambulo 3: 1-3)

Futhi umphostoli uPawulu usho okufanayo encwadini yakhe eya kwabaseThesalonika:

Ngokuba lapho bethi: "Ukuthula nokuphepha; khona-ke ukubhujiswa okungazelelwe kufike phezu kwabo, njengokuhlupheka kowesifazane onomntwana; futhi ngeke baphunyuke. Kepha nina, bazalwane, anikho ebumnyameni ngalolosuku kufanele zikufice njengesela. Nina nonke ningabantwana bokukhanya, nabantwana bemini; asisibo abobusuku noma abobumnyama. ( 1 Thesalonika 5:3-5 )

Yebo, osolwazi bethu bayawazi la mavesi, kodwa bawahumusha njengangokomfanekiso esikhundleni sesiprofetho. Kuyiphutha elikhulu lelo ngoba kubenza baphuthelwe ezinye izeluleko eziseBhayibhelini zokuthi okuthile okukhethekile kufanele kwenzeke ngesikhathi esithile...

U-Jan Paulsen, owayenguMongameli webandla lethu, wakhuluma eParaguay ngo-June 29, 2008 enkundleni yezemidlalo phambi kwezilaleli ezingaqondi, ezinomsindo, nezinganakile, ezazihlanganisa “ama-Adventist” angaba ngu-4,000. Ngaba nelungelo lokulalela amazwi entshumayelo yakhe enokuqonda. Ngasemuva abantu abangaba ngu-100, iningi labo elingaphansi kweminyaka engu-7 ubudala, babhapathizwa ngokushesha ukuze abaholi babike "impumelelo". Yilabo ababebukele ngokucophelela abaqaphela ukuthi abefundisi babengawathathi ngisho namavoti okubhapathizwa.

Kodwa intshumayelo kaJan Paulsen yayiyinhle. Kwakukuhle kakhulu—kodwa kuphela kulabo ababekwazi ukufunda phakathi kwemigqa. Ngaxoxa ngakho kamuva nabefundisi abane nabadala abayisishiyagalombili futhi abazange baqonde nhlobo ukuthi uJan Paulsen wayeshilo futhi esho ukuthini. Waqala intshumayelo yakhe ethi ungumongameli wokuqala webandla lomhlaba wonke lama-Seventh-day Adventist ukuvakashela eParaguay—futhi ungowokugcina. Hawu, bekungesona isikhathi sokusetha leso? Ingabe kwakunjalo? Uma, njengoba abanye abafowethu nodadewethu kuFacebook bangibhalela, uJesu akabophekile ukuba eze eminyakeni eyikhulu ezayo, lawo mazwi okuvula kaJan Paulsen angahunyushwa njengenhlamba kubantu baseParaguay, uma ningangivumela leli hlaya elincane. Cha, waqala ukushumayela “intshumayelo yokuvalelisa”, hhayi ngokwesikhundla sakhe esizophela maduze, kodwa ngokusobala ngenxa yokuphela kweBandla lethu njengoba silazi. Le ntshumayelo emangalisayo isingeniso ayizange ibonwe ngisho nakancane ngabefundisi nabadala. Bebematasatasa besebenza...bezama ize, bengenamandla, ukuthulisa isixuku sabantu abasezingeni eliphansi “ama-Adventist” esishaya ihlombe ngale ntshumayelo yangeSonto(!) ntambama.

UJan Paulsen washumayela ngamazwi okugcina kaJesu emhlabeni futhi wasebenzisa izahluko 16 no-17 zevangeli likaJohane. Wathi lawa kuzoba amazwi okugcina ozowezwa kuye eParaguay, futhi amazwi okugcina ahlala ebaluleke kakhulu ekuphileni komuntu futhi anesisindo esikhethekile kulabo abhekiselwe kubo. Yebo, lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi uma la bekungamazwi okugcina kaJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe kubafundi Bakhe. Kufanele siwakhumbule ngokucophelela la mazwi, sizindle ngawo, futhi siwatadishe ngokujulile, ukuze sixwayiswe ngalokho okumelwe sikulindele esikhathini esizayo esiseduze.

Intshumayelo yakhe ngobuhlakani yagwema izixwayiso zikaJesu kusengaphambili zokushushiswa okubi (ngenxa yokuba khona kwezingane eziningi) futhi wacela izethameli (uma kukhona olalele) ukuba ziwafundele kabusha la mavesi ekhaya. Kodwa wayeqiniseka ngempela ukuthi ushushiso lwaluzovela ngokushesha. Sicela, futhi ufunde uJohane isahluko 16 ngokucophelela. UPaulsen wabe esegcizelela kakhulu ivesi elilandelayo:

Kodwa lezi zinto nginitshele zona. ukuze kuthi lapho kufika isikhathi, nikhumbule ukuthi nganitshela ngabo. Futhi lezi zinto angishongo kini ekuqaleni, ngoba nganginani. ( Johane 16:4 )

Inhloso yentshumayelo yakhe kwakuwukucacisela abantu ukuthi iGeneral Conference njengoba ikhona namuhla ngeke isaba khona maduze. Ukuthi ngokushesha kwakuzofika isikhathi lapho iqembu ngalinye lama-Adventist athembekile laliyoba yedwa. Waveza ukuthi alikho iqembu elalingahlala lithembekile kuNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokuba uJesu ephakathi kwalo, futhi lokho kwakuyokwenzeka kuphela lapho uMduduzi efika futhi ahlale komunye nomunye wethu.

Nokho nginitshela iqiniso; kunilungele ukuba ngihambe; ngoba uma ngingahambi, uMduduzi kayikuza kini; kepha uma ngimuka, ngiyakumthumela kini. ( Johane 16:7 )

Kodwa uJesu wanikeza umbandela othize ukuze uMduduzi eze emkhulekweni Wakhe wobunye bebandla lakhe kuJohane 17, umthandazo omude kunayo yonke eBhayibhelini. Kwakuyintshumayelo ehlakaniphile futhi ekugcineni wayesezuze abalaleli abathile. Ngeshwa, abazange baqaphele ukuqala ngakho-ke abazange baqonde ukuthi uJan Paulsen wayezivalelise yena futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo eNkomfa Jikelele. Ngenhlanhla, ngathola ukulalela nokuqonda intshumayelo ngezilimi ezimbili, njengoba yahunyushwa kanyekanye futhi ngikwazi kahle isiNgisi neSpanishi.

Ekugcineni, waphinda wagcizelela ukuthi lawa kwakungamazwi okugcina uJesu awasho kubafundi bakhe ngaphambi kokuhlupheka kwakhe. Sabe sesicula ihubo futhi “ama-Adventist” avunyelwa ukuba agoduke ukuze ashise i-barbecue grill. Ngakho-ke, intshumayelo yayimayelana nokushushiswa nobudlelwane, ukuthululwa kwemvula yamuva, kanye nesinye semibandela yokuthi lokhu kwenzeke: ubunye babathembekile... Kunjalo, wakuhlobanisa nobunye neNkomfa Jikelele. Lapha eNingizimu Melika, akazange akhulume ngegama elithi “ukulalela” noma “u-Ellen G. White”, ngaphandle kwalokho ukuthula okudangele kwakuyolandela. Kodwa ungakunaki lokho.

Namuhla—eminyakeni embalwa kamuva—ngiphinde ngaphawula ukuthi uJan Paulsen wayeqinisile lapho esho lokho amazwi okugcina omuntu abaluleke ngokukhethekile. Nanamuhla ngisazi ukuthi utheni. Kodwa amazwi kaJesu okugcina anesisindo esimangalisayo. Kodwa ayethini amazwi okugcina kaJesu? Ziningi izifundo mayelana namazwi okugcina kaJesu esiphambanweni. Yebo, lawo kwakungamazwi Akhe okugcina ngaphambi kokufa. Kodwa ingabe lawo mazwi Akhe okugcina kubafundi? Cha, uJesu waphinde wavuka futhi wahlala ezinye izinsuku ezingu-40 nabafundi. Ngakho, yimaphi amazwi okugcina kaJesu angempela abaluleke kangaka?

Ngaphambi kokwenyuka Kwakhe, uJesu wakhuluma amazwi Akhe okugcina kubangane Bakhe okwakuyodingeka bahlale ezweni elinonya. Abafundi bakhe bamelela ngokomfanekiso wonke amaKristu athembekile ezizukulwane ezilandelayo, ikakhulukazi isizukulwane sokugcina. Futhi uma ungakaqapheli, lamazwi kaJesu okugcina futhi abaluleke kakhulu akhuluma ngenkinga yethu... ayimpendulo yombuzo wabafundi wokuthi uzobuya nini ukuzomisa umbuso wakhe. Lamavesi afundwe ngokukha phezulu kuphela futhi awakaze afundwe ngokujula, kodwa kuwo sizothola isisombululo senkinga yokuthi kuyoba khona noma cha omunye umlayezo omayelana “nosuku nehora” ngemva kwengelosi yesithathu.

Manje ake sifunde lawo mazwi okugcina kaJesu kubafundi Bakhe ngaphambi kokwenyukela Kwakhe ezulwini:

Sebebuthene bambuza, bathi: “Nkosi, uyawubuyisela ngalesi sikhathi umbuso ku-Israyeli na? Wathi kubo. Akusikho okwenu ukwazi izikhathi nezinkathi; lokho uBaba akubeke emandleni akhe. Kepha niyakwamukeliswa amandla, emva kwalokho uMoya oNgcwele esefikile phezu kwenu. niyakuba ngofakazi bami eJerusalema, naseJudiya lonke, naseSamariya, nase kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba. Eseshilo lokho, wakhushulwa bebhekile; ifu lamsusa emehlweni abo. ( IzEnzo 1:6-9 )

Nakulokhu futhi, iBRI yethu yehluleka ukuqaphela ukuthi uJesu, njengakuMathewu 24, Luka 21, noMarku 13, uphendula ngempendulo esebenza kabili embuzweni wabafundi ngokuza Kwakhe kwesibili. UJesu akazange ashiye isiphetho sangempela sezwe ezimpendulweni Zakhe, kodwa wakuhlobanisa ngobuhlakani nezehlakalo ezathinta abafundi ngokuqondile kangangokuthi isizukulwane sokugcina sensali kuphela esasiyokwazi ukuthola ukusetshenziswa kwesibili. Ake sifunde ukuthi u-Ellen G. White wathini ngendlela uJesu aphendula ngayo imibuzo ehlobene:

Umbuzo wabafundi

Amazwi kaKristu ayekhulunywe ezindlebeni zenani elikhulu labantu; kepha eseyedwa, uPetru, noJohane, noJakobe, no-Andreya beza kuye ehlezi eNtabeni Yeminqumo. “Sitshele,” bathi, “kuyakuba nini lokhu na? futhi siyakuba yini isibonakaliso sokuza kwakho nesokuphela kwezwe na?” UJesu akazange abaphendule abafundi Bakhe ngokuthatha ngokuhlukana ukubhujiswa kweJerusalema nosuku olukhulu lokuza Kwakhe. Wahlanganisa incazelo yalezi zenzakalo ezimbili. Ukube Wavulela abafundi Bakhe izenzakalo zesikhathi esizayo njengoba ebabona, babengeke bakwazi ukubekezelela ukubona. Ngomusa kubo Wahlanganisa incazelo yezinhlekelele ezimbili ezinkulu, beshiya abafundi bezifundela bona incazelo. Lapho ebhekisela ekubhujisweni kweJerusalema, amazwi Akhe ayisiprofetho afinyelela ngalé kwaleso senzakalo elangabini lokugcina ngalolo suku lapho uJehova eyosukuma asuke endaweni Yayo ukuze ajezise izwe ngobubi balo, lapho umhlaba uyodalula igazi lawo, futhi ungabe usabasibekela ababuleweyo bawo. Yonke lenkulumo yanikezwa, hhayi eyabafundi kuphela, kodwa neyalabo okwakumelwe baphile esigcawini sokugcina somlando walomhlaba. {I-DA 628.1}

Yebo, BRI othandekayo, wawungaqaphela ukuthi impendulo kaJesu embuzweni ofanayo ngaphambi nje kokwenyuka Kwakhe yanikezwa ngendlela efanayo ngaphambi nje kokubethelwa Kwakhe. Isimo sabafundi sasingakashintshi. Ukubhujiswa kweJerusalema kwakusesesikhathini esizayo futhi ukuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele nakho kwakusenezinsuku eziyi-10 ngaphambili.

Ibandla lethu selivele laqaphela iqiniso ezahlukweni ezishiwo ngenhla zeBhayibheli, kodwa lisantula ngokuphathelene neZenzo isahluko 1. Kwakuyindikimba eyinhloko kaJesu kuMathewu 24 ukufanekisa ukubhujiswa okuzayo komhlaba ngokubhujiswa kokuqala kweThempeli (AD 70), futhi amazwi Akhe ahunyushwa ngokufanelekile ukuthi asebenza ekuvinjezelweni okuzayo kwebandla kwesonto ngeSonto. Nokho, akunakwa ukuthi umbuzo ofanayo wabafundi kuzEnzo nawo waphendulwa ngendlela efanayo ekabili uJesu.

Nokho, isihloko esiyinhloko lapha yilokhu “Amandla KaBaba” futhi “Amandla Omoya Ongcwele” futhi hhayi nje izimpawu eziyokwandulela ukuza kwesibili. Manje kumayelana nokuchaza ukuthi abafundi babezothola nini ulwazi ngosuku nehora lokubuya kukaJesu.

Amazwi kaJesu “akusikho okwenu ukwazi izikhathi nezinkathi” ahlobene nabafundi ababephila ngaleso sikhathi, eminyakeni eyizi-2000 ngaphambi kokumiswa kwangempela kombuso kaKristu (ukubuya Kwakhe). Cabanga nje ngalokhu! U-Ellen G. White wayehlale encoma uWilliam Miller, ngisho naku-Great Controversy. AbakwaMillerite bokuqala nengelosi yesibili (uSamuweli Snow) kwadingeka baphendule izimpikiswano ezifanayo “ezingenasikhathi” ezivela kubafowabo abangamaKristu, njengokunyakaza kwengelosi yesine namuhla, okufanele izwakalise ukukhala kwangempela nokulungile kwaphakathi kwamabili ngalesi sikhathi.

U-Ellen G. White wakuchaza kanjani lokhu ku-Great Controversy? AbakwaMillerite babhekana kanjani nalokhu kuhlasela? Uzobona ukuthi kuzwakala kuhluke kakhulu kunezimpinda eziningi eziphikisana nokumiswa kwesikhathi kwezingcaphuno ezimbalwa zika-Ellen G. White ezikhishwe ngaphandle komongo:

Ukumenyezelwa kwesikhathi esiqondile sokuza kukaKristu kwabiza ukuphikiswa okukhulu kwabaningi bazo zonke izigaba, kusukela kumfundisi epulpiti kuze kufike kwesoni esinganaki kakhulu, esinesibindi saseZulwini. Amazwi esiprofetho agcwaliseka: “Ngezinsuku zokugcina kuyakufika abahleki bosulu, behamba ngezinkanuko zabo, bethi: Siphi isithembiso sokufika kwakhe na? ngoba selokhu obaba balala, zonke izinto zimi njengasekuqaleni kwendalo. 2 Petru 3:3, 4 . Abaningi ababethi bayamthanda uMsindisi, bamemezela ukuthi babengenakuphikisa imfundiso yokubuya kwesibili; bamane baphikisa kuze kube yisikhathi esinqunyiwe. Kodwa iso likaNkulunkulu elibona konke lifunda izinhliziyo zabo. Babengafuni ukuzwa ngokuza kukaKristu ezokwahlulela izwe ngokulunga. Babeyizinceku ezingathembekile, imisebenzi yabo yayingeke ibhekane nokuhlolwa kukaNkulunkulu ohlola inhliziyo, futhi besaba ukuhlangana neNkosi yabo. NjengamaJuda ngesikhathi sokufika kukaKristu kokuqala ayengazimisele ukwamukela uJesu. Abagcinanga nje ngokunqaba ukulalela izimpikiswano ezicacile ezivela eBhayibhelini, kodwa bahleka usulu labo ababefuna iNkosi. USathane nezingelosi zakhe bajabula, futhi baphonsa inhlamba ebusweni bukaKristu nezingelosi ezingcwele ukuthi abantu Bakhe ababezisholo babenothando oluncane Ngaye kangangokuthi babengakufisi ukubonakala Kwakhe.

“Akekho owazi usuku noma ihora” kwakuyimpikiswano evame ukuvezwa abenqaba inkolo yokufika. Umbhalo uthi: “Ngokuphathelene nalolo suku nalelo hora akekho owaziyo, nazingelosi zasezulwini, nazingelosi zasezulwini, kodwa uBaba kuphela.” Mathewu 24:36 . Incazelo ecacile nevumelanayo yalo mbhalo yanikezwa yilabo ababebheke iNkosi, futhi ukusetshenziswa okungalungile okwakwenziwa ngabaphikisi babo kwaboniswa ngokucacile. Amazwi akhulunywa nguKristu kuleyo ngxoxo engasoze yalibaleka nabafundi Bakhe phezu kwe-Oliva ngemva kokuba Ehambe okokugcina ethempelini. Abafundi babebuze umbuzo othi: “Siyakuba yini isibonakaliso sokuza kwakho nesokuphela kwezwe na?” UJesu wabanika izibonakaliso, wathi: “Nxa nibona zonke lezi zinto, yazini ukuthi iseduze, ngaseminyango. Amavesi 3, 33. Isisho esisodwa soMsindisi akumele senziwe ukubhubhisa esinye. Nakuba kungekho muntu owazi usuku noma ihora lokufika Kwakhe [sizobona kamuva, ukuthi lokhu kuzoqondwa kanjani], siyayalwa futhi kudingeka sazi lapho isiseduze. Siphinde sifundiswe ukuthi ukunganaki isixwayiso Sakhe, nokwenqaba noma ukunganaki ukwazi lapho ukufika Kwakhe sekuseduze, izoba yingozi kithi njengoba kwaba njalo kulabo ababephila ezinsukwini zikaNowa ukuba bangazi ukuthi uzamcolo uza nini. {GC 370.1-2}

Kukhona isifundo esifushane esithokozisayo ngalokho ku I-Cyberspace Ministry. Kudala ngaphambi kukazamcolo, isikhathi senhlekelele sasingasaziwa. Emuva eminyakeni eyinkulungwane ngaphambili, uNkulunkulu waqala ukwembula ngezigaba izikhawu ezithile futhi ekugcineni ngisho “nosuku nehora”. Isimiso seBhayibheli esisemuva kweziprofetho zesikhathi sonke sibizwa ngokuthi “Inqubo KaNkulunkulu Yesambulo Esiqhubekayo”. Ngizokufingqa kafushane:

1. Igama elithi Methusela lisho ukuthi “Unyaka afa ngawo; izothunyelwa”. Lesi kwakuyisiprofetho sesikhathi esingacacile, ngoba akekho owayengazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezothumelani, futhi abantu babengazi kahle ukuthi uMethusela wayezophila isikhathi esingakanani. Kodwa cishe iminyaka engamakhulu ayi-10 kwabikezelwa ukuthi isikhathi sokuphila kukaMethusela sasiyisilinganiso sokuthi ukuphela kwakuyofika nini. Ngaleso sikhathi abantu babephila iminyaka engaphezu kuka-900, futhi uMethusela wayemdala kunabo bonke abake baphila. Nakulokhu futhi, isibonakaliso sokuthi uNkulunkulu uhlala elinda kuze kube umzuzu wokugcina ukuze athumele izahlulelo Zakhe.

   Ukufunda uGenesise 5:26,28; 6:6 , singabala ukuthi lesi siprofetho sagcwaliseka ngokunembile.

2. Wayesethi uJehova: “Umoya wami awuyikubusa njalo kumuntu, lokhu eyinyama; iminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili. ... Wayesethi uJehova, Umuntu engimdalile ngiyakumchitha ebusweni bomhlaba; abantu, nezilwane, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu; ngokuba ngiyazisola ngokuthi ngizenzile. ... UNkulunkulu wathi kuNowa, Ukuphela kwayo yonke inyama kufikile phambi kwami; ngokuba umhlaba ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu ngabo; futhi bheka, ngizobabhubhisa kanye nomhlaba. (Funda uGenesise 6:3,7,13, XNUMX, XNUMX.)

   Kulesi sigaba sesibili, uNkulunkulu wembula kuNowa ukuthi wayesenqume ukubhubhisa abantu; Waze wamtshela ukuthi i-countdown isiqalile. Ngakho uNowa wazi ukuthi wayesalelwe iminyaka eyi-120 kuphela yokwakha umkhumbi, futhi ngaleyo ndlela wawazi unyaka kaZamcolo; nokho, wayengakalwazi usuku oluqondile. Kodwa lokho kwaziswa kwakungeke kumsize ngalutho ngaleso sikhathi.

3. Ngemva kweminyaka engu-120, lapho isenzakalo esiyinhlekelele sisondela, uNkulunkulu wanika uNowa isambulo sesithathu nesokugcina. Bekuyisimemezelo esinembe kakhulu:

   UJehova wathi kuNowa: “Ngena emkhunjini wena nendlu yakho yonke; ngokuba ngikubonile wena ulungile phambi kwami ​​kulesi sizukulwane. ... Ngoba nokho izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, futhi ngiyonisa imvula emhlabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane; futhi yonke into ephilayo engiyenzile ngizoyibhubhisa ebusweni bomhlaba. ( Genesise 7:1, 4 )

   Sicela uqaphele! UNkulunkulu wayengamane ayale uNowa ukuba angene emkhunjini ngaphandle kokumtshela ukuthi uzamcolo wawuzoqala nini. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ngomusa waKhe omkhulu wanquma ukunikeza uNowa lokhu kwaziswa okubalulekile ukuze enze isikhathi sakhe sokulinda singabi buhlungu. Waze wambula kuye isikhukhula sasiyohlala isikhathi esingakanani: 40 izinsuku nobusuku.

UJesu wasinika inkomba yokuthi lapho Ebuya futhi kuyoba njengezinsuku zikaNowa:

Kodwa njengoba zazinjalo izinsuku zikaNowa, kuzakuba njalo ukufika kweNdodana yomuntu. (( Mathewu 24:37 )

Ake siqhathanise uhlobo lokubhujiswa komhlaba olwanikezwa umlando kaNowa nomlayezo we-Orion futhi, ekubukeni kuqala, umlayezo wengxenye yesithathu yochungechunge lweShadow:

1. Sithola isiprofetho “esingacacile” esivela kuDaniyeli esinikeza ububanzi besikhathi eside kakhulu: Wathi kimi: Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona indlu engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa. ( Daniyeli 8:14 )

   Isintu sasisebumnyameni ngezindaba ezimbili kulesi siprofetho. Kwaqala nini lokhu kusihlwa kuka-2300 nokusa futhi yayiyini ngempela imvelo yomcimbi? Cishe ngo-1820, uWilliam Miller wathola lapho izinsuku ezingu-2300 seziqalile futhi wazwakalisa ukukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili ngamandla aphelele ngo-1841. Kodwa wayesenephutha mayelana nomcimbi futhi wacabanga ukuthi kwase kuwukubuya kwesibili. Ngempela, kwakuyisiqalo sokwahlulela okuphenyayo endlini engcwele yasezulwini njengoba sasiyofunda ekuqaleni kwesigaba 2. Ngakho-ke isiprofetho sokuhlwa nokusa okungama-2300 sifaniswa nesigijimi esisegameni elithi “Methusela”.

2. 2.Ukudumazeka Okukhulu kwenzeka ngo-1844, kodwa kwaqondwa ngokuphelele ukuthi ukukhanya kwengelosi yokuqala kwakungesona isikhalo sangempela saphakathi kwamabili sokuza komkhwenyana; kodwa ukuthi ukwahlulelwa kophenyo kwase kuqalile ezulwini. Ubude besikhathi sokwahlulela kophenyo sasifihliwe kuDaniyeli 12, njengoba ngachaza ekwethulweni kwePowerPoint yesigijimi se-Orion kuma-slides 58 kuya ku-74. Ukwahlulelwa kwabafileyo kwakuyothatha iminyaka eyi-168 nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo iminyaka emithathu nengxenye. Zombili zizodlula isigamu sonyaka. Saphetha ngokuthi intwasahlobo ka-2012 + 3½ iminyaka isinika ikwindla ka-2015 ekuqaleni konyaka wezifo eziholela ekwindla ka-2016 ngokuza kwesibili. Njengasesigabeni sesi-2 seziprofetho zikazamcolo, besingawazi unyaka kusukela ngo-1844... [Ohlelweni lokuqala lwalesi sihloko asizange sibe nesibalo esiqondile. Yayisenephutha le-“Millerite” lonyaka owodwa, elathuthukiswa ngoJanuwari 2013. Kodwa-ke, hhayi ukudida umfundi, manje sesiyifakile idatha yamanje.]

   Kodwa kunomehluko obaluleke kakhulu phakathi kokumenyezelwa kweminyaka eyi-120 kaNowa nokumenyezelwa kwalenkathi! UNowa wayesazi isikhathi, kodwa kithina isivimbelo sabekwa ngesikhathi isiprofetho phakathi nenkathi ehambisanayo, ngoba kwakungeke kube yinzuzo ngathi ukwazi amashumi eminyaka ngaphambili ukuthi uJesu wayezobuya ngamuphi unyaka. Isifungo sikaJesu kusAmbulo 10 sisebenza kuphela ebangeni lesikhathi esithile phakathi nesikhathi esiphelele sokwahlulela kophenyo, ngoba uphakamisa isandla esisodwa kuphela. Isifungo sisebenza ngesikhathi sokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo kusukela ekwindla 1844 kuya ekwindla 2012. Le mfundiso kaJesu ngizoyichaza kabanzi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

   Kodwa kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi ngabe sazi unyaka ekuqaleni kuka-1844 (uma uJesu akazange agcine umunwe wakhe kuwo), kodwa hhayi usuku oluqondile. Saqonda futhi ngokucacile ukuthi isenzakalo esikhulu esilandelayo sasiyoba yini, okungukuthi ukufika kwangempela kukaJesu. Kodwa kwenqatshwa ngokuqinile ukuthi ukukhala kwangempela kwaphakathi kwamabili, okwabikezelwa ngisho nasephusheni likaWilliam Miller ngokwakhe, kufanele kugcwaliseke ngokuphelele futhi! Lokhu kusiholela eSinyathelweni sesi-3 ohlelweni lokwambulwa okuqhubekayo kukaNkulunkulu mayelana nesiprofetho sesikhathi.

3. Ibandla lethu laphuthelwa ithuba lokuya ezulwini ngo 1890. Umlayezo wengelosi yesine, ukukhanya kwayo okwaqala ukukhanya emhlanganweni weGeneral Conference ka 1888, wenqatshwa ama-Adventist akhululekile ayengafuni ukulalela uNkulunkulu. U-Ellen G. White wadumala kakhulu. Wathi kuzofanele sizulazule ehlane njengabantwana bakwa-Israyeli “iminyaka engama-40” ukuze sithole ithuba lesibili (okuningi kulokho ngezansi). Lesi sigameko sasogwadule asiqalanga ngo-1888, njengoba amanye ama-Adventist ayecabange kahle, kodwa empeleni ngemva kweminyaka emi-2 ngo-1890. Isenzakalo esikhethekile senzeka ngo-2010, ngemva kweminyaka eyi-120 (3 × 40!) kamuva, lokho kuchithwa ngabaningi njengokusetha isikhathi. Indoda ethile yathola umyalezo kaNkulunkulu kuyi-Orion futhi yawenza wafundeka. Ezinyangeni eziyisi-9 kamuva ngoSepthemba wonyaka ofanayo wachaza iziprofetho ezingemuva kwezinsuku zedili lamaJuda, ezembula usuku oluqondile lokubuya kukaJesu kwesibili. (Lolu lwazi [Umkhumbi Wesikhathi] izoshicilelwa engxenyeni yesithathu yochungechunge Lwethunzi.) [Ohlelweni lokuqala lwalesi sihloko asizange sibe nalo usuku oluqondile. Yayisenephutha le-“Millerite” lonyaka owodwa, elathuthukiswa ngoJanuwari 2013.]

   Ake siqhathanise uhlobo ne-anti-type futhi. UNowa wangena emkhunjini ezinsukwini ezingu-7 ngaphambi kukazamcolo. Watshelwa ukuthi kuzomele alinde izinsuku ezingu-7 kuze kuqale ukuna imvula enkulu. Ngo-2005, ngathola isifundo eBhayibhelini esasibonisa ngokusobala ukuthi okuthile “okukhulu” kuzokwenzeka ngo-2012. Lokhu kwakuyiminyaka eyi-7 impela ngaphambi kwalowo nyaka owawunedumela elibi. Sekuyiminyaka eyi-6 ngixwayisa iBandla manje, kodwa cishe akekho ofuna ukuzwa izixwayiso. Kwaba njalo nasosukwini lukaNowa. Ngaphambi kokuba avalelwe ngaphakathi koMphongolo ngesandla sikaNkulunkulu, izilwane zeza zigijima ngambili okungase kuthiwe kungenxa yethonya laphezulu. Abantu babuka lesi sigameko, basihleka, noma mhlawumbe bakhathazeka kancane. Kodwa akekho owabuza uNowa ukuthi wayezomvumela yini ukuba agibele. Cishe wonke ama-Adventist aziphatha ngendlela efanayo lapho ebhekene nezambulo ezinkulu uNkulunkulu abanika zona evela endlini yakhe engcwele ezulwini.

   Iminyaka eyi-7 ngaphambi kuka-2012 ibonakala ngezigaba ezintathu zesimemezelo sesikhathi esivumelana futhi nesibonelo sikaNowa...

   1. Ngo-2005, ngathola isifundo engizosishicilela phakathi nochungechunge lwe-Shadows, oluphawula u-2012 njengonyaka "wesigameko esikhulu" njengokufunda kwesifungo esikuDaniyeli 12. Kodwa lolu cwaningo aluzange lubonise isikhathi esiqondile sokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo nabaphilayo njengoDaniel 12. Ngakho-ke ngasekupheleni kwentwasahlobo ka-2010 kwakuzoba yini isenzakalo se-2012, ngangisazobhekana nesimo se-XNUMX. kube.

      Njengegama elithi “Methusela”, akuzange kucace kulesi siprofetho ukuthi wawuyoba yini unyaka wokubhujiswa (Ukuza Kwesibili) futhi kwakungenakwenzeka ngisho nokuchaza ukuthi hlobo luni lomcimbi owawuzokwenzeka ngo-2012.

   2. Kwaze kwaba yintwasahlobo ka-2010 lapho isigaba 2 sesambulo esiqhubekayo sikaNkulunkulu saqala. UNkulunkulu wembula Iwashi Lakhe e-Orion futhi njengoba abafundi baleli Washi sebeyazi kakade, unyaka wokubuya kukaJesu waboniswa lapho ngokokuqala ngqá. Ngenxa yokuthi ngenza amaphutha athile ekuchazeni i-Orion, unyaka wokubuya kwesibili kukaJesu awuzange wembulwe ngokugcwele. Ngaqala ukukholwa ukuthi uzofika ngo-2014, kamuva ngacabanga ukuthi u-2014 wawuzoba nje ukuqala konyaka wezifo. Unyaka ka-2015 wokuza waqanjwa okokuqala enguqulweni yesibili yocwaningo lwe-Orion olwanyatheliswa ngoSepthemba 2010. [Kodwa ngoJanuwari 2013, iNkosi yembula usuku lwangempela lokuza ekwindla 2016.] NjengoMiller, ngangingaphambi konyaka.

      Lokhu kubonakala eminyakeni eyi-120 kaNowa, lapho yena kanye nabo bonke ababekholwa kanye naye bazi ukuthi kukuphi Ngonyaka kwakuyofika uZamcolo.

   3. Ekwindla ka-2010, ngathola ugqozi olusha lolunye ucwaningo ngokusobala oluzimele ku-Orion; isifundo semikhosi yamaJuda. Lolu cwaningo, ngendlela ehluke ngokuphelele esifundweni se-Orion, lwembula idatha efanayo yomlando yeBandla lama-Adventist ngemininingwane embalwa eyengeziwe. Angizange ngibone kwaze kwaba muva nje ukuthi kunengqondo ukuthi kube ngaleyo ndlela. I-Orion iwuphawu lwendlu engcwele yasezulwini, kuyilapho izinsuku zedili ziwumfanekiso wendlu engcwele yasemhlabeni. Indawo engcwele emhlabeni ingumthunzi wezulu! Ngithole ikhodi yezinkanyezi emikhosini ebonisa wonke umlando weBandla lama-Adventist njengase-Orion, kodwa ngemininingwane eyengeziwe. Enye yaleyo mininingwane eyengeziwe usuku oluqondile lokubuya kukaJesu ngo-2016. [Ohlelweni lokuqala lwalesi sihloko asizange sibe nesibalo esiqondile. Yayisenephutha le-“Millerite” lonyaka owodwa, elathuthukiswa ngoJanuwari 2013. Kodwa ukuze singadideki umfundi, manje sesifake idatha yamanje.]

      Ngakho-ke, sesivele siseSigabeni sesi-3.3 sesimemezelo sesikhathi sokugcina. Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa zikaNowa ziyamaniswa eminyakeni eyisikhombisa kusukela ku-2005 kuya ku-2012 futhi ohlelweni oluningiliziwe olutholakala kwikhodi yezinkanyezi zezinsuku zedili eziqala ngoSeptemba 2010. Iphutha lokuqala ocwaningweni lwe-Orion lalungiswa ngale khodi, futhi okumangazayo kakhulu ucwaningo lwembula ubude besikhathi esiqondile sezinhlupho kuze kube yilolu suku. Lesi sikhathi sabhalwa kabili, kanye enanini lemihlatshelo phakathi nemikhosi kanye nekhodi yezinkanyezi yezinsuku zemikhosi. Ngakho-ke, ngisho nezinsuku ezingama-40 zemvula ezaprofethwa uNkulunkulu ngaphambi kukazamcolo zathola umlingani wazo esifundweni sesithunzi ngokutholakala kwesikhathi sezinhlupho. Zonke lezi yizihloko zengxenye yesithathu yeZithunzi Zekusasa.

Saphazamisa ukufunda kwethu iNkabano Enkulu lapho u-Ellen G. White athi: “Siphinde sifundiswe ukuthi ukungasinaki isixwayiso Sakhe, futhi senqabe noma singanaki ukwazi lapho ukufika Kwakhe sekuseduze. siyoba yingozi kithi njengoba kwaba njalo kulabo ababephila ezinsukwini zikaNowa ukuze bangazi ukuthi uzamcolo uzofika nini.”

Masiqhubeke nokufunda:

Futhi umfanekiso osesahlukweni esifanayo, ohlukanisa inceku ethembekileyo nengathembekile, futhi unikeza isijeziso salowo owathi enhliziyweni yakhe, “Nkosi yami ilibazisa ukufika Kwayo,” ubonisa ukuthi uKristu uyobabheka kanjani futhi abavuze kanjani labo abathola belindile, futhi efundisa ukuza Kwakhe, nalabo abakuphikayo. “Ngakho qaphelani,” esho. “Ibusisiwe leyo nceku, okuyothi lapho iNkosi yayo ifika iyithole yenza kanjalo.” Amavesi 42, 46. “Ngakho-ke uma ungalindi, ngiyakuza kuwe njengesela; njalo kawusoze walazi ihola engizakuza phezu kwakho ngalo.” IsAmbulo 3:3.

UPawulu ukhuluma ngesigaba iNkosi eyofika kuyo ingalindele. “Usuku lweNkosi luza njengesela ebusuku. Ngokuba lapho bethi: Ukuthula nokulondeka; khona-ke imbubhiso engazelelwe ibafikele, . . . futhi kabayikuphunyuka. Kodwa uyenezela, kulabo abalalele isixwayiso soMsindisi: “Nina, bazalwane, anikho ebumnyameni; ukuze lolosuku lunifice njengesela. Nina nonke ningabantwana bokukhanya, nabantwana bemini; asisibo abobusuku noma abobumnyama. 1 Thesalonika 5:2-5 .

Ngakho-ke kwaboniswa ukuthi imiBhalo ayinikezi igunya lokuba abantu bahlale ekungazini mayelana nokuba seduze kokuza kukaKristu. Kodwa labo ababefisa izaba kuphela zokulahla iqiniso bavala izindlebe zabo kule ncazelo, futhi amazwi “Akekho owazi usuku noma ihora” kwaqhubeka kunanelwa ngumhleki onesibindi ngisho nayilowo owayezisholo ukuthi isikhonzi sikaKristu. Lapho abantu bevuswa, futhi beqala ukubuza indlela yensindiso, abafundisi bezenkolo bangena phakathi kwabo neqiniso, befuna ukuthulisa ukwesaba kwabo ngokuhumusha okungamanga izwi likaNkulunkulu. Abalindi abangathembekile babumbene emsebenzini womkhohlisi omkhulu, bememeza, Ukuthula, ukuthula, lapho uNkulunkulu engakhulumanga ukuthula. NjengabaFarisi bosuku lukaKristu, abaningi benqaba ukungena embusweni wezulu ngokwabo, futhi labo ababengena babavimbela. Igazi lale miphefumulo liyobizwa esandleni sayo.

Abathobekile nabazinikele kunabo bonke emasontweni babevame ukwamukela isigijimi. Labo ababetadisha iBhayibheli ngokwabo babona ukuthi imibono ethandwayo yesiprofetho yayingqubuzana nemiBhalo; futhi nomaphi lapho abantu babengalawulwa yithonya labefundisi, nomaphi lapho babezozifunela khona izwi likaNkulunkulu, imfundiso yokufika yayidinga kuphela ukuqhathaniswa nemiBhalo ukusungula yayo igunya laphezulu.

Abaningi bashushiswa abafowabo abangakholwa. Ukuze bagcine isikhundla sabo esontweni, abanye bavuma ukuthula ngokuphathelene nethemba labo; kodwa abanye baba nomuzwa wokuthi ukwethembeka kuNkulunkulu kwabenqabela kanjalo ukuba bafihle amaqiniso ayewaphathise ukuba bawathembe. Abambalwa abanqunywa ekuhlanganyeleni kwebandla ngaphandle kwesizathu esinye ngaphandle kokuveza ukukholelwa kwabo ekufikeni kukaKristu. Ayigugu kakhulu kulabo ababhekana naloluvivinyo lokholo lwabo kwakungamazwi omprofethi: “Abafowenu abanizondayo, abanixosha ngenxa yegama lami, bathi: ‘Mayidunyiswe iNkosi,’ kodwa yona izobonakala ngokujabula kwenu, futhi bayakuba namahloni. Isaya 66:5 . {GC 370.2–372.3}

UWolff wayengomunye wamaphayona angaleso sikhathi owashiwo kahle ngu-Ellen G. White ku-Great Controversy:

UWolf wayekholelwa ukuthi ukufika kweNkosi kuseduze, incazelo yakhe yezikhathi zesiprofetho ibeka ukupheleliswa okukhulu phakathi neminyaka embalwa kakhulu yesikhathi esashiwo nguMiller. Kulabo abanxusa ngombhalo, “Ngokuphathelene nalolo suku nalelo hora akekho owaziyo,” ukuthi abantu akufanele bazi lutho ngokusondela kokufika, uWolff waphendula: “Ingabe iNkosi yethu yathi lolo suku nalelo hora akufanele kwazeke nanini na? Akasinikanga zimpawu zezikhathi ukuze sazi okungenani ukusondela kokufika Kwakhe, njengoba umuntu ekwazi ukusondela kwehlobo ngomkhiwane ohluma amaqabunga awo? Mathewu 24:32 . Akufanele yini sisazi leyo nkathi, kuyilapho Yena uqobo Esinxusa ukuba singagcini nje ngokufunda umprofethi uDaniyeli, kodwa ukuba sisiqonde? futhi kulowo kanye uDaniyeli, lapho kuthiwa amazwi avalwa kwaze kwaba sesikhathini sokuphela (okwakunjalo ngesikhathi sakhe), nokuthi ‘abaningi bayogijima beya ngapha nangapha’ (inkulumo yesiHeberu esho ukuqaphela nokucabanga ngesikhathi), ‘nolwazi’ (ngokuphathelene nalesosikhathi) ‘luyokwanda’. Daniyeli 12:4 . Ngaphandle kwalokhu, iNkosi yethu ayihlosile ukusho ngalokhu, ukuthi ukusondela kwesikhathi ngeke kwaziwe, kodwa ukuthi okuqondile 'usuku nehora akukho muntu owaziyo.' Uthi, Sekwanele, kuyokwaziwa ngezibonakaliso zezikhathi, ukuze asinxenxe ukuba silungiselele ukuza kwaKhe, njengoba uNowa alungisa umkhumbi.”—Wolff, Researches and Missionary Labors, amakhasi 404, 405. {I-GC 359.2}

Lezo kwakuyizimpendulo zikaWolf ekuphikiseni ukuthi akekho owayengazi usuku nehora. Ukhulume kakhulu ngokusondela kwesikhathi futhi akazange anikeze izitatimende ezicacile njengoWilliam Miller "nokukhala kwakhe kwaphakathi kwamabili". Izitatimende zikaMiller zihambisana kakhulu nombono ka-Ellen G. White esifuna ukuwenza ekuvumelaneni nomlayezo ongabikezeli kuphela unyaka, kodwa futhi usuku lwangempela lokuza kwesibili. Okokuqala nje, “ukukhala kukaMiller phakathi kwamabili” kwakuwumyalezo owawumemezela unyaka wokubuya kukaJesu. Lokhu “kukhala phakathi kwamabili” nakho kwenzeka ngezigaba ezimbili. Umlayezo wengelosi yokuqala (inhlangano yamaMillerite) waqala ukushumayela ngonyaka we-1843, ngaphandle kokucacisa usuku oluthile. Lokhu kuhambisana nesigaba 2 sohlobo lukaNowa. Kwaze kwaba yilapho ingelosi yesibili (uSamuweli Snow) ijoyina ingelosi yokuqala (uWilliam Miller) kwaba usuku lokuZa Kwesibili “okusolwayo” okwabalwa nguSamuel Snow (ngokufanelekile) kwaba u-October 22, 1844. Lokhu kuhambisana nesigaba 3 sohlobo losuku lukaNowa. Kodwa-ke, empeleni kwakungekhona ukukhala kweqiniso phakathi kwamabili, ngoba umkhwenyana wayeseneminyaka eyi-170 kude. Ngakho-ke, ngesikhathi esikhethekile kwakufanele kufike “uMiller wesibili” owayezoshumayela isimemezelo sangempela saphakathi kwamabili. Lokhu kwaphushwa nguWilliam Miller ngokwakhe futhi waze wahlangabezana nokugunyazwa kuka-Ellen G. White. Iphupho likaMiller yanyatheliswa esahlukweni 22 sika Imibhalo Yakuqala.

Kuhle. Mhlawumbe kuze kube manje umuntu akakholwa ukuthi ukunyakaza kwengelosi yokuqala neyesibili, “ukukhala okuhlangene kwaphakathi kwamabili” kuzophindwa; kodwa...kubikezelwe akekho omunye ngaphandle kuka-Ellen G. White, mathupha. Okokuqala, ngicela ufunde mayelana nobudlelwano phakathi komlayezo kaMiller (ukukhanya kwengelosi yokuqala) kanye nengelosi yesibili, ukuze kamuva ukwazi ukuqonda kangcono esinye isitatimende sika-Ellen G. White mayelana nalokhu:

Ngasekupheleni komyalezo wengelosi yesibili, ngabona ukukhanya okukhulu okuvela ezulwini kukhanyisa phezu kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu. Imisebe yalokhu kukhanya yayibonakala ikhanya njengelanga. Ngase ngizwa amazwi ezingelosi zimemeza, “Bheka, uMyeni uyeza; phumani niyomhlangabeza!”

Lesi kwakuyisikhalo saphakathi kwamabili, okwakuzonikeza amandla emyalezweni wengelosi yesibili. Izingelosi zathunyelwa zivela ezulwini ukuba zivuse abangcwele ababedangele futhi zibalungiselele umsebenzi omkhulu owawuphambi kwabo. Amadoda anekhono kakhulu awazange aqale ukuthola lo mlayezo. Izingelosi zathunyelwa kwabathobekile, abazinikele, zabaphoqa ukuba baphakamise isimemezelo, “Bhekani, uMyeni uyeza; phumani niyomhlangabeza!” Abaphathiswe ukukhala bashesha. nangamandla kaMoya oNgcwele kwazwakala isigijimi, kwavusa abafowabo abadangele. Lo msebenzi awuzange ume ekuhlakanipheni nasekufundeni kwabantu, kodwa ngo amandla kaNkulunkulu, nabangcwele bakhe abezwa ukukhala bahluleka ukumelana nakho. Abangokomoya kakhulu bathola lo mlayezo kuqala, futhi labo ababekade behola emsebenzini baba ngabokugcina ukwamukela futhi asize sigcwale ukukhala, “Bhekani, uMyeni uyeza; phumani niyomhlangabeza!” {EW 238.1-2}

Ukunyakaza kukaSamuel Snow (ingelosi yesibili) kwase kukhona ngaphambi uMiller; ingelosi yesibili yafika ngaphambi kweyokuqala. Lenhlangano yalahla izono zamasonto amaProthestani ahlubuka, ayesesendleleni ebuyela eRoma. Kodwa umyalezo awuzwakalanga ngoba wawunawo akukho ukuphuthuma. The amandla owanikezwa lomlayezo ngesikhalo saphakathi kobusuku kwakuwukumenyezelwa kosuku oluqondile lokuZa kwesiBili kukaJesu. Isikhathi sasincane, futhi lokhu “kwavusa” abangcwele ababedikibele ukuze isigijimi sabo siphinde sizwakale amandla.

Futhi manje kufika isitatimende esibaluleke kakhulu sika-Ellen G. White, esisekelwe emibonweni eqondile evela kuNkulunkulu. Ku Imibhalo Yakuqala esahlukweni Isililo esikhulu ungafunda Kanjani ingelosi yesine iyakufika.

Izingelosi zathunyelwa ukuba ziyosiza ingelosi enamandla ezulwini, ngezwa amazwi okungathi azwakala 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 ubonakale ungezengezo kumlayezo wesithathu, ukuyihlanganisa njengoba ukukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili kuhlanganisa 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}

Njengoba nje ingelosi yokuqala (uMiller ekhala phakathi kwamabili) yahlanganyela nengelosi yesibili futhi yamnika amandla, ingelosi yesine izohlangana neyeSithathu futhi iyinike amandla njengokukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili! Ukukhala kwaphakathi kwamabili kwaba ukumemeza “UMyeni uyeza!” Lokhu kuhlanganisa “usuku nehora”; umlayezo wesikhathi! Kodwa ingelosi yesine nayo inomyalezo oyisixwayiso obiza ukuphenduka nokuguquka, njengoba sengibonisile ezifundweni futhi angifuni ukuphinda lapha. Futhi manje, ngicela uqaphele lokho u-Ellen G. White akubona embonweni wakhe “wahlala phezu kwesiguli, abangcwele abalindile”: “Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu”...futhi iyini “inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu” ngokweBhayibheli?

Kodwa yena egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wagqolozela ezulwini. wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, noJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, wathi: Bheka, ngibona amazulu evulekile, neNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu. (( IzEnzo 7:55-56 )

UStefanu wabona into efanayo esiyibona manje, uma silandela uJesu nomaphi lapho eya khona...

Laba yibo abangangcoliswanga ngabesifazane; ngoba bayizintombi. Laba yibo abalandela iWundlu nomaphi lapho liya khona. ... ( IsAmbulo 14:4 )

Leli vesi liqala isiqephu esimayelana nomlayezo weNgelosi Ezintathu futhi kuze kube manje seliqondwa kancane. Ikhuluma ngabangu-144,000 1844 nokuthi balandela uJesu, iWundlu, nomaphi lapho Iya khona. Amaphayona ethu akuchaza kahle lokhu njengokubhekisela lapho uJesu esusa inkonzo Yakhe eNdaweni eNgcwele eyingenisa eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele ngo-XNUMX. Labo abamukela ukuthi inkonzo kaJesu yaphelela eNdaweni eNgcwele nokuthi Waqala inkonzo yosuku lokwahlulela lwasezulwini njengomPristi Ophakeme, ngokomfanekiso bamlandela bangena eNdaweni eNgcwele.

Abanye bahlala endaweni eNgcwele. Abazange basiqonde isiprofetho sokuhlwa nokusa okungama-2300, noma imfundiso yendlu engcwele, futhi babehlale ebumnyameni. Futhi hhayi lokho kuphela! Umoya omubi oyinqaba waphefumulelwa uSathane.

Kodwa lokho akusiqedi lesi siprofetho. Manje, ekupheleni kwesahlulelo sophenyo sabafileyo, sithola ukuqabuleka emvuleni yamuva ukunikeza ukukhala okukhulu ekwahlulelweni kwabaphilayo futhi siyacelwa ukuba “landelani iWundlu nomaphi lapho liya khona,” ngoba lesi siprofetho sinikezwe kusAmbulo ngokuphathelene nabangu-144,000 XNUMX hhayi ngengelosi yesithathu! Kulokhu, kufanele siphakamisele amakhanda ethu emkhathini njengoStefanu futhi sibone inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu noJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu: Amanxeba Akhe Ewashini Lokwahlulela kanye Nenkonzo Yakhe Yokukhulumela YomPristi Ophakeme evezwe eqoqweni lezinkanyezi elimangalisa kakhulu lendawo yonke eyadalwa Nguye, ngaphambi nje kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neKhaya Lomuzi Ongcwele “eNdaweni Yokuvula” yaseNebula.

Futhi lapho lezizinto ziqala ukwenzeka, khona-ke bheka phezulu, futhi phakamisani amakhanda enu; ngoba ukukhululwa kwenu sekusondele. ((NgokukaLuka 21:28)

Sithola la mandla noma amandla (engelosi enamandla) egijima eyosiza ingelosi yesithathu futhi “evusa” izintombi ezilele kusAmbulo 18 lapho kuchazwa khona ingelosi yesine:

Emva kwalokho ngabona enye ingelosi yehla ezulwini. enamandla amakhulu [G1849]; futhi umhlaba wakhanyiswa ngenkazimulo yakhe. ( IsAmbulo 18:1 )

Manje, ngithanda ukukucela ukuthi udawunilode futhi ufake i-e-Sword Bible nesichazamazwi se-Strong esivela ku-inthanethi, ukuze ungihlole. (Vele ufune “i-e-sword Bible”.)

Igama elithi “amandla” evesini elingenhla ngelesiGreki futhi kwethi Strong’s for the King James Version Bible libhalwe kanje:

G1849
ἐξουσία
exousia
ex-oo-bona'-ah

Kusukela G1832 (ngomqondo wekhono); ilungelo, okungukuthi, (ngokuzithobayo) amandla, amandla, amandla, inkululeko, noma (ngokunenjongo) ukuphatha (ngokuqondile imantshi, amandla angaphezu komuntu, amandla, uphawu lokulawula), ithonya elinikeziwe: - igunya, amandla, inkululeko, amandla, ilungelo, amandla.

Kunezincazelo eziningana ezifanayo zaleli gama, kodwa sesizoqhathanisa lokhu kuvela kwegama nengxenye ehlukile yeBhayibheli. Ezinguqulweni eziningi zeBhayibheli lihunyushwa kahle ngokuthi “amandla, amandla, amandla, noma igunya”. Manje sesivala iluphu eyaqala kuZenzo. Lapho, uJesu waphendula abafundi futhi wakhuluma ngokuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele lapho ethi:

Wathi kubo. Akusikho okwenu ukwazi izikhathi nezinkathi; lokho uBaba akubeke emandleni akhe. Kepha niyakwamukeliswa amandla, uMoya oNgcwele esefikile phezu kwenu; niyakuba ngofakazi bami eJerusalema, naseJudiya lonke, naseSamariya, nase kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba. (Izenzo 1: 7-8)

Umuntu usengabona ukuthi ukuphela kwaleli vesi akukagcwaliseki ngokuphelele, ngoba ivangeli alikashunyayelwa kuze kube sekugcineni komhlaba, ngaphandle kwalokho ukuphela bekuyobe sekufikile...

Lelivangeli lombuso liyakushunyayelwa ezweni lonke, kube-ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke; khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika. ( Mathewu 24:14 )

Ngicabanga ukuthi akudingekile ukuchaza ukuthi thina njengama-Adventist siyazi ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uzothululwa futhi ngokucebile kunangezinsuku zabaphostoli ngePhentekoste. IPhentekoste laliwukugcwaliseka kwesiphrofetho “semvula yokuqala” futhi besilinde ngokulangazela iminyaka eyi-160 edlule “imvula yamuva”, ukuthululwa kwesibili kukaMoya oNgcwele, okuyosenza sikwazi ukumelana novivinyo lwemithetho yangeSonto futhi sizwakale ngokukhala okukhulu.

Ngakho thokozani, bantwana baseSiyoni, nijabule kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ngokuba uninikile imvula yokuqala ngokulinganayo, wehlisela imvula ngenxa yenu; imvula yokuqala, nemvula yamuva ngenyanga yokuqala. Izibuya ziyakugcwala ukolweni, namanoni ayochichima iwayini namafutha. ((Joweli 2:23-24)

Ukusebenza kabili kwempendulo kaJesu manje kubonakala ngokucacile:

Kwakungesikho okwabaphostoli ukwazi izikhathi noma izinkathi zosuku lwabo. UBaba wayekugcinile lokhu kwelaKhe amandla (exousia), kodwa okokuqala kufanele kunikelwe imvula yokuqala (iPhentekoste) ukuze ivangeli limenyezelwe eJerusalema nakulo lonke elaseJudiya neSamariya, futhi ekugcineni imvula yakamuva ukuze lo msebenzi unabele emaphethelweni omhlaba.

UJesu uthi, "Kodwa niyakwamukeliswa amandla, uMoya oNgcwele esefikile phezu kwenu”... Thina njengama-Adventist siyaqonda ukuthi lamandla esizowathola afanekiselwa ingelosi yesine:

In Isengezo Emibhalweni Yakuqala, U-Ellen G. White ubhala ngepeni lakhe:

“Ukuqala kwaleso sikhathi sokuhlupheka,” okukhulunywe ngakho lapha akubhekiseli esikhathini lapho izinhlupho ziyoqala ukuthululwa khona, kodwa esikhathini esifushane ngaphambi nje kokuba zithululwe, kuyilapho uKristu esendlini engcwele. Ngaleso sikhathi, lapho umsebenzi wensindiso ususongwa, kuzofika inkathazo emhlabeni, futhi izizwe ziyothukuthela, nokho zibambe ukuze zingavimbeli umsebenzi wengelosi yesithathu. Ngaleso sikhathi i- “imvula yakamuva,” noma ukuqabuleka okuvela ebusweni beNkosi kuyakufika, ukunika amandla elizwini elikhulu lengilosi yesithathu, alungise abangcwele ukuthi bame ngesikhathi sokuthululwa kwezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina. {I-EW 85.3}

Waze wahlobanisa amandla engelosi yesine nemvula yamuva. Futhi manje, ake sibone ukuthi iliphi igama lesiGreki "Amandla" yasetshenziswa kuZenzo 1:7...

Wathi kubo. Akusikho okwenu ukwazi izikhathi nezinkathi uBaba akumise ngesakhe amandla [G1849].

Futhi kukhona futhi:

G1849
ἐξουσία
exousia
ex-oo-bona'-ah

Kusukela G1832 (ngomqondo we ikhono); ilungelo, okungukuthi, (ngokuzithoba) qinisa, umthamo, ikhono, Inkululeko, noma (ngenhloso) ukuphatha (ngokuqondile imantshi, amandla angaphezu kwawomuntu, amandla, Ithokheni of isilawuli), okuphathisiwe umthelela: - igunya, amandla, inkululeko, amandla, ilungelo, amandla.

Ingelosi yesine kanye nokuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele kungena amandla afanayo futhi Igunya (exousia), eyayigcinelwe uBaba KUPHELA . UBaba uqobo, onguMahluleli enkantolo yasezulwini, uvumele uMoya oNgcwele ukuba asinikeze ihora lokuphela kokwahlulela nokuza kukaJesu. Akuyena umuntu oletha umlayezo, kodwa nguBaba uqobo owambulile IWASHI LAKHE kuthina. Ingelosi yesine, okuyinhlangano yabantu abakholelwa leli qiniso lamanje, yathola igunya (exosia) evela kuBaba.

Kodwa kungenzeka kanjani lokho? Ingabe lokhu akuphikisani nesifungo sengelosi (uJesu) kuSambulo 10 "ukuthi akufanele kube khona isikhathi"?

Ngicela ubheke lelithebula elilandelayo elichaza ukuthi ziyini izincazelo zezifungo zikaJesu kuDaniyeli 12 (bheka isethulo se-Orion) kanye nesambulo 10. Liphinde lichaze ukuthi buyini ubuhlobo phakathi kwesiprofetho (iNcwadi kaDaniyeli) kanye nesambulo (iNcwadi yeSambulo). Ngenkathi uJesu kuDaniel 12 ephakamisa zombili izandla kanye nezifungo emadodeni amabili amele izingxenye ezimbili zesintu ekwahlulelweni kwabafileyo abamukela iSivumelwano Esisha ngaphambi noma ngemva kuka-AD 31, uJesu kusAmbulo 10. uphakamisa isandla esisodwa kuphela. Kulokhu akuphathelene neSivumelwano Esisha kuphela, kodwa mayelana nezingxenye zombili zesahlulelo sophenyo: ukwahlulelwa kwabafileyo nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo. Ngeshwa, akunakwa ngokuphelele ukuthi ngisho nesandla esingaphakanyiswanga sinencazelo esiprofethweni, futhi yingakho lesi sigameko sahunyushwa nje ingxenye ngendlela efanele:

U-Ellen G. White wathi izincwadi zikaDaniyeli nesAmbulo kumelwe zifundwe ndawonye. Incwadi kaDaniyeli ‘yayiyisiprofetho’ futhi incwadi yesAmbulo ‘yayisambulo sesiprofetho sikaDaniyeli. Sithola izigcawu ezifanayo kuzo zombili izincwadi. Kungumsebenzi wethu ukuthola lezo zigcawu ezifanayo futhi sizixhumanise. UNkulunkulu usitshela ngo-Ellen G. White ukuthi wengeze imininingwane kusAmbulo eziprofethweni zikaDaniyeli ezenza kube lula ngathi ukuchaza lezo ziprofetho. Yilokho kanye okwenzeka endaweni lapho uJesu efunga khona. KuDaniyeli 12 sifunda ukuthi:

Kepha wena Daniyeli, gcina amazwi, unamathelise incwadi, kuze kube sesikhathini sokuphela; abaningi bayakuzulazula; nolwazi luyakwandiswa. (UDaniel 12: 4)

Kudabukisa kanjani ukuthi abaholi bethu nezingqungquthela zikawonkewonke kanye nezifundiswa zabo benqaba lezi zifundo futhi bangabambi iqhaza ohlelweni lokwandisa ulwazi. Kodwa asiyiyeke leyo ndaba.

UJesu akafungi eqenjini elimelela ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo iminyaka engu-3½ “ukuthi akusayikuba-khona isikhathi.” Lokho kusho ukuthi, ngokusho ukuthi, isimemezelo sesikhathi siyakhululwa futhi. Kwamiswa isikhashana ngoba uJesu owazi isiphetho kwasekuqaleni wabona ukuthi ibandla ngeke lithembeke, futhi lalizohluleka kwezinye zezilingo zabo. Wayazi ukuthi kwakuzodingeka athumele abantu Bakhe ehlane iminyaka eyi-120 ngale kuka-1890. Futhi ngenkathi ezulazula ehlane kwakungaba yingozi futhi kube yingozi kubantu ukwazi ukuthi uJesu wayesekude. Kodwa manje njengoba uhambo olude lweBandla lama-Adventist ehlane labo lokuzulazula seluphelile kusukela ngo-2010, siholelwa endaweni enamanzi aqabulayo kaMoya oNgcwele kanye nesiprofetho sesikhathi futhi. Ingelosi yesine yehla ezulwini ngokumemeza, “UMyeni Uyeza,” ukusiza ingelosi yesithathu; enikeza umlayezo we-Advent amandla IGUNYA (exousia) lika UBABA.

Ekugcineni, siwuqonda ngokugcwele umehluko “oncane” emibonweni emibili ka-Ellen G. White ekhuluma ngesimemezelo “sosuku nehora”. Siyabona ukuthi kuyiqiniso ukuthi isikhathi simenyezelwa ekuthululeni kwemvula yamuva futhi, futhi hhayi kuphela ekupheleni kwesikhathi sezinhlupho lapho uNkulunkulu eletha isivumelwano saphakade futhi eqinisekisa izifundo zethu:

Ngokushesha sezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu njengamanzi amaningi, elasinika usuku nehora lokuza 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}

Ukuphikisa kanye kanye ukuhlasela kwabagxeki bami abathi yisikhathi esifanayo esiqondile kuyo yomibili imibono lapho u-Ellen G. White ebona isikhathi sokuza kukaJesu simenyezelwa, nokuthi kwakuyoba kuphela ekupheleni kwezinhlupho, ngizokubonisa okunye okunye ama-Adventist ambalwa kakhulu asekubonile kuze kube manje. Abaphikisi abanenkani bakho konke ukukhanya okusha basangihlasela naphezu kwezincazelo zami ezinemininingwane esihlokweni Ingabe Lesi Isikhathi Simisiwe?, futhi okuwukuphela kwempikiswano yabo iwukuthi kuzo zombili lezi zigcawu “ubuso babangcwele babukhazimula ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu.” Bathi ubuso babangcwele buyokhanya kanye kuphela ekupheleni kwesikhathi sezinhlupho ngokukhazinyuliswa kwabangcwele ekubuyeni kwesibili kukaJesu. Ngenxa yokuthi le nkulumo yenzeka kuyo yomibili le mibono, bacabanga ukuthi kuyimpikiswano engenakuphikiswa yencazelo yabo ukuthi “usuku nehora” okumenyezelwe kuyo yomibili le mibono kufanele kube ngesikhathi esifanayo ngesikhathi.

Ethebulani elingezansi ngibeka zombili izitatimende eceleni, abathi kungaba ubufakazi obungenakuphikiswa bokuthi yisikhathi esifanayo kuyo yomibili imibono:

Kuphakathi kokuthi abayazi kahle imibhalo ka-Ellen G. White, noma abafuni ukukutshela iqiniso. U-Ellen G. White wabhala isihloko esihle kuMqulu 1 wakhe Ubufakazi beSonto, enesihloko esifanelekile esithi “Ikusasa”. Kumayelana nekusasa lethu bazalwane, nizobona ukuthi ngempela ubuso bethu kumele bukhanye kabili uma sifuna ukuba phakathi kwabayi-144,000:

The Future

Lapho eguqulwa isimo, uJesu wakhazinyuliswa uYise. Siyamuzwa ethi: “Manje iNdodana yomuntu ikhazimulisiwe, noNkulunkulu ukhazinyulisiwe kuyo.” Ngakho ngaphambi kokukhashelwa nokubethelwa Kwakhe waqiniswa ukuhlupheka Kwakhe kokugcina okwesabekayo. Njengoba amalungu omzimba kaKristu esondela enkathini yokungqubuzana kwawo kokugcina, “isikhathi sokuhlupheka kukaJakobe,” ayokhulela kuKristu, futhi ayohlanganyela kakhulu emoyeni Wakhe. Njengoba umlayezo wesithathu uphuphuma ukukhala okukhulu, futhi njengoba amandla amakhulu nenkazimulo kuba khona emsebenzini wokuphetha, abantu bakaNkulunkulu abathembekile bayohlanganyela kuleyonkazimulo. {1t353.3}

Sesiyazi ukuthi yimaphi amandla (exousia) nokuthi iyiphi inkazimulo (inkazimulo yesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu e-Orion) okukhulunywa ngayo lapha. Umlayezo wengelosi yesine “uya emsebenzini wokuvala”, okusho ukuthi ukuvivinywa akukavalwa! Futhi njengoba ngisho izikhathi eziningi, lo mlayezo usiza abazalwane abangenamdlandla... U-Ellen G. White uyaqhubeka echaza ikusasa:

Yimvula yakamuva ebavuselelayo futhi ibaqinise ukuze badlule esikhathini sosizi. Ubuso babo buyokhanya ngenkazimulo yalokho kukhanya okukhona engelosini yesithathu. {1t353.3}

Nakho-ke, ukukhanya kobuso ngenkazimulo leyo "uyahlanganyela" ingelosi yesithathu. Ngicela uwufunde kaningi lowomusho uze uqiniseke ukuthi uyakuqonda okushiwo ngu-Ellen G. Whites. Kuwukukhanya kwesigijimi sengelosi yesine okukhanyisa ubuso babayizi-144,000 100 ngokukhethekileyo enkathini yemvula yamuva, hhayi nje esikhathini sezinhlupho. Lobu ubufakazi obuphefumulelwe obufunwayo bokuthi ukuqala kocwaningo lwe-Orion kwakuyiqiniso ngokuphelele nokuthi konke okwakulotshwe esihlokweni esithi “Ingabe lesi simiso sesikhathi” siye saboniswa ngokulandelana kwayo okulungile. Ukuze sifinyelele kumaki angu-XNUMX%, kufanele sikwazi ukuthola esikhathini “sekusasa lethu” ukuthi ubuso bethu buzokhanya futhi. Ngakho, asiqhubeke nokufunda. Manje sishiya isikhathi esincane sosizi futhi siya ngqo esikhathini esikhulu sosizi:

Ngabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyobasindisa ngendlela emangalisayo abantu baKhe ezikhathini zosizi. Njengoba uJesu athulula umphefumulo Wakhe ngobuhlungu ensimini, bayokhala ngobuqotho futhi bakhathazeke imini nobusuku ukuze bakhululwe. Umthetho uzophuma wokuthi kufanele bangalinaki iSabatha lomthetho wesine, futhi bahloniphe usuku lokuqala, noma balahlekelwe izimpilo zabo; kepha abayikuyekela, balinyathele phansi isabatha leNkosi, badumise isisekelo sobupapa. Ibutho likaSathane nabantu ababi bayobahaqa, futhi bajabule phezu kwabo, ngoba kuyobonakala ingekho indlela yokuphunyuka kubo. Kodwa phakathi nesiphithiphithi nokunqoba kwabo, kuzwakala ukuncenceza kokuduma okukhulu kakhulu. Amazulu abuthene ubumnyama, futhi akhanyiswa kuphela ukukhanya okuvuthayo nenkazimulo eyesabekayo evela ezulwini, lapho uNkulunkulu ezwakalisa izwi Lakhe esendaweni Yakhe engcwele.

Izisekelo zomhlaba ziyazamazama; izakhiwo ziyanyakaza futhi ziwe ngokuphahlazeka okubi. Ulwandle lubila njengembiza, futhi umhlaba wonke uyanyakaza kabi. Ukuthunjwa kwabalungileyo kuyaphendulwa, futhi ngokuhlebeza okumnandi nokunesizotha bathi omunye komunye: “Sikhululiwe. Yizwi likaNkulunkulu.” Ngokwesaba okukhulu balalela amazwi ezwi. Ababi bayezwa, kepha abaqondi amazwi ezwi likaNkulunkulu. Besaba futhi bathuthumele, kuyilapho abangcwele bejabula. USathane nezingelosi zakhe, kanye nabantu ababi, ababejabule ngokuthi abantu bakaNkulunkulu basemandleni abo, ukuze bababhubhise basuke emhlabeni, babone inkazimulo enikezwe labo abahloniphe umthetho ongcwele kaNkulunkulu. Babona ubuso babalungileyo bakhanya futhi ebonakalisa umfanekiso kaJesu. Labo ababemagange kangaka ukubhubhisa abangcwele abakwazi ukubekezela inkazimulo ihlezi phezu kwabakhululweyo; futhi bawela emhlabathini njengabafileyo. USathane nezingelosi ezimbi bayabaleka phambi kwabangcwele abakhazinyulisiwe. Amandla abo okubacasula aphelile unomphela. {1T 353.4–354.1}

Abangcwele abaphilayo abayizi-144,000 2010 sebeyaliqonda kakade izwi likaNkulunkulu kusukela ngesikhathi semvula yamuva kusukela ngo-120. Yilabo ubuso babo obukhazimula injabulo nethemba ngemva kokuzulazula iminyaka eyi-XNUMX ehlane ngenxa yokuqabuleka okuvela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu kanye nomyalezo omangalisayo ovela ezinkanyezini ezinhle kunazo zonke zezinkanyezi ezingadala ngendlela uMdali kuphela angadala ngayo. Laba yibo manje abayobekwa uphawu ukuze bazwakalise ukukhala okukhulu, futhi ekupheleni kwesikhathi sosizi ubuso babo buyokhanya ngokwesibili, bubonakalisa umfanekiso kaJesu owahlala enguMmeli, uMkhulumeli, noMsindisi wabo, lapho efika ngenkazimulo Yakhe yonke futhi ekhulula isivumelwano esiphakade kubantu baKhe.

Ngalolu lwazi olusha lweBhayibheli nolwesiprofetho, esihlokweni esilandelayo salolu chungechunge oluthi “Usuku Nehora” kufanele sihlole izinkulumo u-Ellen G. White azilobile ngokumelene nokumiswa kwesikhathi ukuze azivumelanise nakho konke esikufundile kuze kube manje. Ngizohlukanisa izimpikiswano eziphikisana nesikhathi zika-Ellen G. White futhi ngiphawule ngazo. Abaningi babo baye bacashunwa kaninginingi ngokuxhamazela futhi ngaphandle kokuqonda okujulile kangangokuthi ukukhanya kwengelosi yesine kuyafihlwa kumalungu amaningi eBandla lamaSabatha. Ubuso babo buyohlala buphaphathekile futhi bungenambala lapho usuku lolaka lukaNkulunkulu lufika phezu kwabo njengesela.
