Esihlokweni esithi Christmas 2.0, uMfoweth’ uJohn wabonisa indlela i-Orion eqinisekisa ngayo usuku oluqondile lokuzalwa lukaJesu Kristu kanye nalo kanye usuku nesikhathi uNkulunkulu aphefumulela ngaso umoya wokuphila emakhaleni ka-Adamu ngobusuku bangaphambi kweSabatha lokuqala. Esihlokweni esalandela, Iphutha likaMiller, ngachaza ukuthi iphutha lonyaka owodwa likaWilliam Miller lamthola kanjani umlingani walo kokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu, futhi usuku olufanele ekugcineni olubekelwe ukubuya kukaKristu lwembulwa. Lezo zihloko ezimbili zisho izinsuku zokuqala nezokugcina zomlando wesintu.
Kulesi sihloko, ngizobonisa ukuthi kanjani Iwashi likaNkulunkulu e-Orion-iNcwadi yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa-isebenza kuso sonke isikhathi somlando njengoba u-Ellen G. White asho esiqeshini esizobheka kuso okwesikhashana. Ngizophinde ngibonise ukuthi kanjani igugu elikhulu “ebhokisini” likaMiller lokuqala likhanya ngokuphindwe kashumi ekukhanyeni kwe-Orion. Ngaphandle kokuchitha isikhathi, ake sicabangele lesi sicaphuni esimangalisayo sikaDade White:
Sibuza uJohane ngalokho akubona nakuzwa embonweni wasePhatmose, futhi uyaphendula: “Ngabona esandleni sokunene salowo owayehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi. incwadi ebhalwe ngaphakathi nangemuva, ivalwe ngezimpawu eziyisikhombisa. Ngase ngibona ingelosi enamandla imemeza ngezwi elikhulu, ithi: “Ngubani ofanele ukuvula incwadi nokuthukulula izimpawu zayo na? Futhi kwakungekho muntu ezulwini, nasemhlabeni, nangaphansi komhlaba, owayenamandla okuvula incwadi, noma abuke kuyo.”
Lapho esandleni saKhe esivulekile kwakulele incwadi, umqulu we umlando wokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu, umlando ongokwesiprofetho wezizwe kanye nebandla. Kwaqukethwe lapha amazwi angcwele, igunya Lakhe, imiyalelo Yakhe, imithetho Yakhe, sonke iseluleko esingokomfanekiso sikaPhakade, kanye nomlando wawo wonke amandla abusayo ezizweni. Ngolimi olungokomfanekiso kwakulowo mqulu ithonya lazo zonke izizwe, izilimi, nabantu kusukela ekuqaleni komlando womhlaba kuze kube sekupheleni kwawo. {20MR 197.1–2}
Hewu. Lolo ulwazi oluningi okufanele lufakwe encwadini! Siyazi ukuthi iwashi le-Orion lifinyelela ekupheleni komlando, kodwa kungenzeka yini ukuthi liphinde libuyele emuva ekuqaleni komlando, hhayi nje ekusinikezeni usuku lokudalwa kodwa nasekuxoxeni umlando wezizwe kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuze kufike kwesethu?
Ihhashi Elimhlophe
Ukuvulwa kophawu lokuqala lwencwadi kufanelana nehhashi elimhlophe:
Ngase ngibona lapho iWundlu livula olunye lwezimpawu, ngezwa esinye sezidalwa ezine eziphilayo sithi, njengezwi lokuduma: “Woza ubone. Ngase ngibona, bheka, nanto ihhashi elimhlophe, nohlezi phezu kwalo wayenomnsalo; wanikwa umqhele, waphuma enqoba, futhi eyakunqoba. ( IsAmbulo 6:1-2 )
Kuyaziwa ukuthi ihhashi elimhlophe limelela i ivangeli elimsulwa, nokuphuma kwalo liyonqoba limelela ukusabalala okufanayo njengoba “linqoba” izinhliziyo zabesilisa nabesifazane abakuzwayo. Ukugibela ivangeli elimsulwa kuhunyushwa ngokufanelekile ngokuthi kwaqala ngoKristu, futhi kunezifundo eziningi ezenza umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu wokuchaza ukuthi izimpawu zokuqala eziyisithupha zafinyelela kanjani ukugcwaliseka kwazo enkathini yobuKristu. Lokhu sikubiza ngokuthi "i-classical" incazelo yezimpawu. (Olunye ucwaningo olunjalo lungatholakala kuZifundo 30-38 esigabeni esinesihloko Ukube Ngatshelwa Ikusasa at I-Cyberspace Ministry.) Lelizinga lokuqonda belilokhu likhona kusukela esikhathini sikaMiller futhi lihambisana nokulotshwa ngaphandle (noma ngemuva) kwencwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa. Izimpawu ezibonakalayo zokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu eLisbon, uSuku Olumnyama, kanye Nezinkanyezi Eziwayo (zango-1833), ezihambisana ncamashi nophawu lwesithupha, zavusa umhlaba ekwahlulelweni okwakusondela futhi zaqeda ukuhunyushwa kwezimpawu eziyisithupha zokuqala.
Ngabona lapho livula uphawu lwesithupha, bheka, kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu; ilanga laba mnyama njengendwangu yesaka yoboya, nenyanga yaba njengegazi; Izinkanyezi zezulu zawela emhlabeni, njengomkhiwane uvuthulula amakhiwane awo avuthiwe, lapho unyakaziswa ngumoya onamandla. ( IsAmbulo 6:12-13 )
Nokho, njengoba imashi yaseJeriko izinsuku eziyisithupha zonke zaphindwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa, kanjalo nezimpawu zokuqala eziyisithupha (zakudala) zilandelwa ukuphindaphinda kwazo phakathi nenkathi yokwahlulela kusukela ngo-1844 kuze kube sekupheleni. Umlando Uyaphinda ukuze uthole isifundo esigcwele). Lezi zimpawu eziphindaphindiwe ziyisihloko socwaningo lwe-Orion, futhi zimelela wonke umjikelezo kusukela ekuphumeni kwehhashi elimhlophe kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi. Kusukela esifundweni se-Orion, siyazi ukuthi ihhashi elimhlophe laqala ukugibela futhi ngonyaka ka-1846 lapho ivangeli libuyiselwa ekuhlanzekeni ngeqiniso leSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa (uMgqibelo).
(Isichasiselo kusukela ngo-Agasti 2016: Ukuze uthole ukwaziswa okwengeziwe mayelana nokugcwaliseka kophawu lwesithupha lwakudala, sicela ubheke Isengezo se-History Repeas II. Ukugcwaliseka kophawu lwesithupha oluphindaphindiwe kuchazwe encwadini isengezo sezimpawu Zokuphela kanye namaslayidi 101-114 of the Isethulo se-Orion.)
Ake sithathe isinyathelo esisodwa phambili. Ukuphela komjikelezo wewashi kumakwa yinkanyezi efanayo yehhashi elimhlophe. Umjikelezo uqala ngehhashi elimhlophe uphele ngehhashi elimhlophe. Lapho umjikelezo wewashi weminyaka engu-168 uphela ngonyaka wezi-2014-2015 we-Orion wokungenisa izinhlupho, ukwakheka kwelinye ivangeli elimhlophe elimsulwa kuzobe kuphelele: abayizi-144,000. Njengokuzalwa kukaJesu, ngesikhathi iwashi elikhulu likhomba kulelo hora, bonke abayizi-144,000 bayobe sebezelwe kabusha emfanekisweni kaKristu.
Kwakukhona elinye iphuzu emlandweni lapho ihhashi elimhlophe levangeli elimsulwa liphuma. UNkulunkulu wadala u-Adamu ngokuphelele, engenasono. Wayemsulwa futhi ehlanzekile. Umlayezo wevangeli waphuma emva kokuwa, washunyayelwa ngofakazi abazibonelayo ngempela futhi ababeyithinte iNkosi e-Edene. Izifundo zokuqala zohlelo lwemihlatshelo zafundiswa lapho izilwane kufanele zibulawe ukuze kugqokiswe umbhangqwana onqunu, futhi isithembiso sevangeli salolo suku olubi sisekhona embhalweni ongcwele:
Ngiyakubeka ubutha phakathi kwakho nowesifazane, naphakathi kwenzalo yakho nenzalo yakhe; yona iyakuchoboza ikhanda lakho, wena uyakulimaza isithende sayo. ( Genesise 3:15 )
Ngakho, siyabona ukuthi incwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa, eqala ngehhashi elimhlophe, isebenza ezikhathini ezintathu ezichazwe izenzakalo ezilandelayo:
- Ukudalwa kuka-Adamu (4037 BC)
- Ukuzalwa KukaJesu (5 BC)
- Abagcini beSabatha nomyalezo wengelosi yesithathu (AD 1846)
- I-144,000 (AD 2015)
Izikhathi ezintathu phakathi kwalezo zinsuku ezine zihambisana nezinkonzo zamalungu amathathu obuNkulunkulu. Inkathi kusukela ekudalweni kuka-Adamu kuya ekuzalweni kukaJesu imelela umsebenzi kaBaba. UJesu iNdodana waqala isigaba Sakhe ekuzalweni Kwakhe kwaze kwaba yilapho esengena endaweni eNgcwelengcwele. UMoya oNgcwele waqala umsebenzi Wakhe okhethekile wokungcwelisa abantu bakaNkulunkulu ngokwahlulela okuphenyayo, okuzoqhubeka kuze kuphele ukuncenga kukaJesu ekwindla ka-2015.
Umfanekiso 1 - Izigaba Ezintathu (ezihambelana noYise, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele, ngokulandelana)
Uma ubuka izimiso zelungu ngalinye lobuNkulunkulu ukukala emugqeni wesikhathi, kuba sobala ngokushesha ukuthi inkathi ngayinye elandelanayo yimfushane kunaleyo engaphambi kwaso. Lokhu akusho umsebenzi omncane, kodwa kufakazela izinga elikhulayo lemisebenzi yabantu kanye nokukhula kolwazi. Izinga loshintsho abantu basendulo ababhekana nalo lalilincane kakhulu kunanamuhla. Izindlela zokuthutha ezisetshenziswa phakathi nenkathi ngayinye zivame ukusetshenziswa ukukhombisa ukushesha okukhulu kolwazi phakathi neminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amahlanu edlule noma kanjalo. Ukuhamba ngezinyawo, ngesilwane, noma ngemoto yohlobo oluthile edonswa isilwane kwakuyindlela eyayisetshenziswa kuwo wonke umlando wasendulo. Phakathi nenkathi emfushane “yehora lokwahlulela” izinto zokuhamba zathuthuka zaze zafika endaweni lapho umuntu engahamba khona emhlabeni wonke ngamahora ambalwa. Okumangalisa ngaphezu kwalokho ukwanda okumangalisayo kokuqonda iBhayibheli eminyakeni yamuva. Inani elimangalisayo lokukhanya elikhanya eBhayibhelini namuhla likhanya ngokuhluke kakhulu ezikhathini zasendulo lapho iqiniso leBhayibheli elisanda kutholwa kabusha lanele ukuba lithethelele ukusungulwa kwehlelo elisha lesonto! Kubukeka sengathi isikhathi sihamba ngokushesha, akunjalo—njengoba sitshelwe:
Izinhlaka zobubi zihlanganisa amandla azo futhi zihlanganise. Baqinisela inhlekelele enkulu yokugcina. Izinguquko ezinkulu zizokwenzeka maduze emhlabeni wethu, futhi ukunyakaza kokugcina kuzoba okusheshayo. {9t11.2}
Isethi Enemiqulu Emithathu
Wonke umuntu oqonda iwashi le-Orion uyazi ukuthi iwashi lokwahlulela. Ihlanganisa iHora Lokwahlulela, ihora le-11 lenkathi yokugcina enkulu yeminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili futhi imelelwe ngokomfanekiso ezigcawini zegumbi lesihlalo sobukhosi sikaDaniyeli nesAmbulo. Kungumbhalo ofihliwe ngaphakathi eNcwadini yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa. Uma sibuyisela ukunakekela kwethu emahoreni ayi-11 angaphambili kusukela ekuzalweni kukaJesu kuya ekwaHlulweni, sibona incazelo yasendulo yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa. Sibuyisela ukunaka kwethu emuva ngisho nangokwengeziwe enkathini enkulu yeminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezine ngaphambi kukaKristu, futhi sicabangela isitatimende sika-Ellen G. White esithakazelisayo sokuthi incwadi yoMambuleli enezimpawu eziyisikhombisa iqukethe umlando wezizwe kusukela ekuqaleni kwesikhathi (nokunye okuningi), umuntu kufanele abuze ukuthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu elivela e-Orion lisenokuningi yini okufanele likusho. Ake sithole!
Incwadi yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa ibizwa nangokuthi umqulu (Zak. 5). Ungacabanga ugoqa ishadi elikhulu, njengeshadi le-Orion, ukuze ishadi lifihlwe ngaphakathi kumqulu. Umbhalo ongaphandle wawuyobe usafundeka, kodwa ingaphakathi lalingeke lifundeke. Manje ake ucabange ubuka umkhawulo owodwa wohlelo bese uphuma kwenye njengesibonakhulu, njengoba izingane ngokuvamile zithanda ukwenza. Uma ubungakhomba lo mqulu “wezibonakude” e-Orion, ubuyobona isiyingi esinezinkanyezi zomlaza we-Orion, njengewashi le-Orion esijwayele ukulibuka.
Umfanekiso 2 - Ukubona iwashi le-Orion
Ngenkathi sibheka isibonakude sethu esingokomfanekiso, ingabe ucabanga ukuthi singakwazi ukubona kancane indawo evulekile e-Orion? Mayelana nalolo daba, KUyini ngempela ukuvulwa kwe-Orion? Omunye wamavulandlela wethu wokufika, uJoseph Bates, wabhala indaba efanele ebizwa Amazulu Avulayo okuyinto empeleni efaneleka kakhulu esikhathini sethu samanje. Kuyo, ubonisa ukuthi ukwehla kweJerusalema Elisha liphuma ezulwini kuyisenzakalo esingokoqobo, futhi uchaza i<em>Orion nebula njengehholo elikhulu elivulekile emazulwini eliyokwehla ngalo. Uqinisile impela, kodwa kuningi okumele sikuqonde.
Okokuqala, phawula ukuthi amazulu afaniswa nomqulu noma umqulu weBhayibheli, ngokufanayo nesibonakude sethu esicatshangelwayo esigoqiwe:
Lasuka izulu njengomqulu lapho igoqwa ndawonye; (IsAmbulo 6: 14)
Lonke ibandla lasezulwini liyakuncibilika, amazulu aphele siginqike ndawonye njengomqulu: (U-Isaya 34: 4)
Njengoba umlando ubhekana noshintsho lusuka kwenye inkathi yasezulwini luye kwelandelayo, siyabona ukuthi amazulu avuleka ngendlela ekhethekile. Ngenkathi uJesu eqala inkathi Yakhe, ngokwesibonelo, amazulu avuleka kanje:
Kwathi sebebhapathiziwe abantu bonke, noJesu wabhapathizwa, ekhuleka; the izulu lavuleka, Futhi i uMoya oNgcwele wehla ngesimo somzimba njengejuba phezu kwakhe, futhi a kwavela izwi ezulwini, elathi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; ngiyathokoza ngawe. (ULuka 3: 21-22)
Lapho amaJuda esemenqabe ngokuphelele uJesu futhi enqaba ngenkani ukuphenduka, umnyango womusa wawo njengesizwe wavalwa, ivangeli laya kwabezizwe. Lolu shintsho lwahambisana nokuvulwa kwamazulu:
Kodwa yena, egcwele i Moya oNgcwele, wagqolozela ezulwini, wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, noJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu; Wathi, Bheka, Ngibona amazulu evulekile, neNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu. (Izenzo 7: 55-56)
Ngenkathi amazulu evuleka, umlando awuzange nje uphenye ikhasi, kodwa waqala omunye umqulu weNcwadi yeziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa.
Lapho ukwahlulela kophenyo kuqala endlini engcwele yasezulwini ngo-1844, amazulu aphinde avuleka. Ngalo kanye uSuku Lokuhlawulela, uHiramu Edson waba nombono lapho abona khona uJesu engena endaweni eNgcwelengcwele endaweni engcwele yasezulwini:
Izulu lalibonakala livulekile kimi, futhi ngabona ngokucacile nangokucacile ukuthi esikhundleni sokuba umPristi wethu oMkhulu aphume eNgcwelengcwele yendlu engcwele yasezulwini ukuba eze kulo mhlaba ngosuku lweshumi lwenyanga yesikhombisa, ekupheleni kwezinsuku ezingamakhulu amabili namakhulu amathathu, Wangena okokuqala ngalolo suku endlini yesibili yaleyo ndlu engcwele; nokuthi wayenomsebenzi ayezowenza endaweni eNgcwelengcwele ngaphambi kokuba eze emhlabeni. (FD Nichol. The Midnight Cry. p. 2300. njengoba kucashunwe yiWikipedia)
Ngemva kweminyaka embalwa, uJoseph Bates washicilela incwadi okukhulunywe ngayo ekuqaleni. Yanyatheliswa ngonyaka ka-1846, unyaka kanye wophawu lokuqala lwewashi le-Orion.
Kuyamangaza yini ukuthi amazulu avuliwe futhi namuhla emiqondweni yalabo abakhona ngaphansi kwethonya likaMoya oNgcwele, njengoba ukuncenga kukaJesu endaweni engcwele yasezulwini kusondela ekupheleni kwakho? Umlayezo wokugcina wesixwayiso emhlabeni ngaphambi kokuza kwesibili okungokoqobo wethulwa kanje:
Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu, ngenyanga yesine, ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga, ngiphakathi kwabathunjwa ngasemfuleni iKhebari, amazulu avuleka, futhi ngabona imibono kaNkulunkulu. (Hezekeli 1: 1)
UHezekeli uqala ubufakazi bakhe ngokumemezela ukuthi amazulu amvulekele. Yiso kanye lesi sahluko lapho sithola khona umbono wewashi le-Orion “namasondo” alo.
Ake sivule “umqulu” wethu we-Orion futhi sibone ukuthi ithini, akunjalo?
Ukuze sibone ukuthi izandla zewashi zikhomba kanjani amadethi omlando, singabeka iwashi lihambisane nomugqa wesikhathi womlando, siqinisekise ngokucophelela ukuqondisa omaka bewashi kumamaki onyaka emugqeni wesikhathi. Bese, “singakhulula” iwashi, ukuze sibone ukuthi iwashi lonke lihambisana kanjani nomugqa wesikhathi ngesikhathi esisodwa:
Umfanekiso 3 - Ukwembula Irekhodi Lomlando Ongcwele (opopayi)
Njengoba sivula iwashi, qaphela ukuthi inkanyezi emaphakathi, i-Alnitak, inwetshiwe kuso sonke isikhathi. U-Alnitak uyinkanyezi kaJesu, futhi lokhu kubonisa futhi ukuthi u-Alnitak, owayelimele, wayeyiWundlu elihlatshiwe kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba. Kungakho igama lakhe elisha lilotshiwe emabunzini abangcwele:
Onqobayo ngiyakumenza insika ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wami, futhi akasayikuphuma ephuma: futhi ngizobhala phezu kwakhe igama likaNkulunkulu wami, negama lomuzi kaNkulunkulu wami, oyiJerusalema elisha, elehla livela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu wami; ngizobhala phezu kwakhe igama lami elisha. (IsAmbulo 3: 12)
Ngaleli gama elisha, u-Ellen G. White uthi:
Abangu-144,000 XNUMX bonke babekwa uphawu futhi babumbene ngokuphelele. Emabunzini abo kwakulotshwe ukuthi, uNkulunkulu, iJerusalema Elisha, futhi a inkanyezi ekhazimulayo eliqukethe igama elisha likaJesu. {I-EW 15.1}
Le migqa emifushane igcwele incazelo. Phawula ukuthi leli gama elisha lisebunzini labo, nokuthi kukhulunywa ngalo ngokuphathelene nokubekwa uphawu, nokuthi kukhona izinto ezintathu ezilotshwe emabunzini abangcwele. Vele ucele noma iyiphi i-Adventist ukuthi ichaze uphawu lukaNkulunkulu, futhi bayoshesha ukuchaza ukuthi kufana nophawu lwazo zonke inkosi, umongameli, noma umholi. Iqukethe (1) igama labo, (2) indawo yabo, kanye (3) nesikhundla sabo. Bayokutshela ukuthi uphawu lukaNkulunkulu liseMyalweni Wesine futhi luqukethe (1) igama likaNkulunkulu, (2) lonke izulu nomhlaba njengendawo Yakhe, kanye (3) nesikhundla Sakhe njengoMdali. Ngeshwa, bayokhubeka uma ubacela ukuba bachaze uphawu olukusAmbulo 3:12 ngaphandle uma bekuqonda ukujula okugcwele kwesigijimi se-Orion.
Lesi sihloko sibonise ukuthi incwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa iyiqoqo elinemiqulu emithathu. Singanikeza imiqulu into efana nalena elandelayo:
Vol. 1 - Indalo kuKristu
Vol. 2 - UKristu ukuya ekwaHlulweni
Vol. 3 - Ukwahlulela Kubulungiswa
Okuqukethwe imiqulu kuwukwembuleka komlando, njengoba kuqokonyiswa amanxeba kaJesu njengoba kuboniswe kuyi-Orion. Sesikwazi kakade okuqukethwe kumqulu wesi-2 nowesi-3 ezincwadini zomlando wama-Christian nama-Adventist, ngokulandelana, nokuthi izimpawu eziyisikhombisa zichaza kanjani izikhathi ezihlukahlukene. Ake sihlole ivolumu 1, akunjalo?
Umjikelezo Wewashi Omkhulu
Njengoba izifundiswa zebhayibheli, ezomlando kanye nezemivubukulo zifinyelela izinga eliphezulu neliphakeme lokuvelela, ukulandisa kweBhayibheli ngomlando kuqinisekiswa kakhulu nangokwengeziwe. Ngokusebenzisa ukwaziswa kohlu lozalo nolunye lwesikhathi oluqukethwe encwadini kaGenesise iyodwa, kungenzeka ukwenza ukulandisa okulandelanayo kwezikhathi zomlando ongcwele kusukela eNdalweni kuze kube sekufeni kukaJosefa eGibhithe lasendulo. Ukwengeza imininingwane yokulandelana kwezenzakalo kwezinye izincwadi ezihlukahlukene zeTestamente Elidala kuletha ukulandelana kwezikhathi ku-Eksodusi nokuwela iJordani. Emva kwalokho kufika isikhathi sabahluleli, ukubusa kwamakhosi, isikhathi sokuthunjwa, ukwakhiwa kabusha kweJerusalema, futhi ekugcineni ukubethelwa. Umlando wezwe uqinisekisa ingxenye enhle yomlando ongcwele, ofinyelela kude emakhosini futhi kwezinye izimo ngisho nangemuva kakhulu kunalokho.
Nokho, noma ubani oqala ukufunda ukulandelana kwezenzakalo zeBhayibheli ngokushesha uyaqaphela ukuthi kunobunzima. Kunezindlela ezimbili ezibalulekile zokulandelana kwezikhathi, eside nesifushane, ezisetshenziswayo. Njengokubonakaliswa kwezwi likaNkulunkulu, iwashi le-Orion linenani elikhethekile ekutholeni ukulandelana kwezikhathi okunembile kweBhayibheli. Sesibonile kakade ukuthi yalunikeza kanjani usuku Lokudala Nokuzalwa KukaKristu, kodwa kunokuningi esingakufunda ewashini. Umuntu angalindela ukuthi leli washi liyoqinisekisa izinsuku ezibalulekile njengonyaka kaZamcolo, uFuduko, neminye iminyaka yeBhayibheli ebaluleke kakhulu.
Ngempela, yenza:
Umfanekiso 4 - Iwashi Elikhulu Nezehlakalo Ezihambisanayo
Iwashi lokwahlulela, “namahora” angu-24 ayiminyaka engu-7 lilinye, linesinqumo esiwunyaka owodwa. Umjikelezo wewashi elilodwa uhlanganisa iminyaka engu-168. Lapho “isondo” le-Orion lembulwa enkathini enkulu kakhulu kusukela eNdalweni kuya kuKristu, izwi lesinqumo liyiminyaka engama-24. Nakuba “umkhaza” owodwa ewashini lokwahlulela ubonisa unyaka, “umkhaza” owodwa ewashini elikhulu ubonisa iminyaka engu-24.
Ngokwencazelo, iwashi liqondaniswe ukuze “uphawu lokumaka” lwenkanyezi yokuqala lufane no-4037 BC lapho uNkulunkulu edala u-Adamu wokuqala njengoba kuchazwe encwadini. Christmas 2.0 futhi umjikelezo owodwa ogcwele wewashi uqhubeka kuze kube ukuzalwa kuka-Adamu wesibili, uJesu Kristu, ngo-5 BC Ukuqala nokuphela komjikelezo ophelele kokubili kumelelwa iHhashi Elimhlophe.
U-Adamu wadalwa ephelele kodwa wawela esonweni. UNkulunkulu wamfundisa ivangeli elimsulwa kwasekuqaleni, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezoletha kanjani uMbambeli ukuba afe esikhundleni sakhe. Ngokuhamba kweminyaka, isono esethulwa ngu-Adamu emhlabeni saba yizinkathazo ezikhulayo, zaqala ngokuchitheka kwegazi lika-Abela futhi zasakazeka kwaze kwaba yilapho imicabango yezinhliziyo zabantu yaba mibi kuphela njalo.
Umfanekiso 5 - Umlando WeBhayibheli kanye newashi le-Orion
Phawula lapho inkanyezi yesibili ikhomba khona! Kusobala ukuthi likhomba uzamcolo, kodwa kukhona nokunye esingakufunda uma sikuhlolisisa. Khumbula ukuthi izinkomba zewashi zinesinqumo. Eqinisweni, uzamcolo usekupheleni “komkhaza wewashi” oboniswa inkanyezi. Ukubhujiswa komhlaba ngamanzi kusebenza njengesibonelo sokubhujiswa komhlaba ngezinhlupho futhi ekugcineni umlilo. Isikhukhula esenzeka ekupheleni kwewashi siwubufakazi bokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu. Kuyisiqinisekiso sokuthi izinhlupho ezikhonjwe ngonyaka wezi-2014-2015 ze-Orion zizokwenzeka ngempela ekupheleni kwalelo “tick yewashi” futhi, ekwindla ka-2015 njengoba sichazile ku. Iphutha likaMiller.
UZamcolo kaNowa uwuphawu olukhulu kunawo wonke ngokomzimba ushintsho emlandweni weplanethi yethu kusukela ekudalweni. Izibalo zabantu emhlabeni zashintsha kakhulu futhi ngokuzumayo lapho kufika uzamcolo. Inani elingenakubalwa lezakhamuzi zezwe langaphambi kwezikhukhula lafa kanye nje, ngaphandle kwemiphefumulo eyisishiyagalombili kaNowa nomndeni wakhe. Uma umbala obomvu wehhashi elibomvu le-apocalypse umelela ukubulawa komuntu, angeke kube khona usuku olubomvu ukwedlula lolo. Njengoba sibhekene nesifaniso sikazamcolo esiseduze, masingawaphindi amaphutha abo.
Ngiyathokoza yini ngokufa komubi na? isho iNkosi uJehova, kungesikho ukuthi abuye ezindleleni zakhe, aphile, na? Yisho kubo. Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova, angithokozi ngokufa komubi; kodwa ukuthi omubi aphenduke endleleni yakhe aphile; buyani, buyani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi; ngoba lizafelani lina ndlu kaIsrayeli? ( Hezekeli 18:23; 33:11 )
Isizathu esikhulu esenza abantu basemhlabeni bangazilaleli izixwayiso zikaNowa ukuthi babecabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ‘uzakuba lothando’ ukuthi angabhubhisa umhlaba wonke. Lesi isikhumbuzo esisangulukisayo samalungu enani elikhulu lamabandla anamuhla, lapho “uthando” kuwukuphela kwesihloko esamukelekayo epulpiti futhi noma yikuphi ukushiwo ngembubhiso ezayo kubizwa ngokuthi okwethusayo, amaqhinga okuthusa, noma ukuthusa:
Amadoda aleso sizukulwane ayengewona wonke, ngokwamukela ngokugcwele leli gama, abakhonza izithombe. Abaningi babethi bangabakhulekeli bakaNkulunkulu. Babethi izithixo zabo zaziyimifanekiso yobuNkulunkulu, nokuthi ngazo abantu babengathola umbono ocace kakhudlwana ngoMuntu waphezulu. Lesi sigaba sasihamba phambili ekwenqabeni ukushumayela kukaNowa. Njengoba bezama ukumelela uNkulunkulu ngezinto ezibonakalayo, izingqondo zabo zaphuphuthekiswa ubukhosi namandla Akhe; bayeka ukubona ubungcwele besimo Sakhe, noma ubungcwele, ubunjalo obungaguquki bezimfuneko Zakhe. Njengoba isono saba jikelele, sabonakala sincipha, futhi ekugcineni bamemezela ukuthi umthetho waphezulu wawungasasebenzi; ukuthi kwakuphambene nesimo sikaNkulunkulu ukujezisa isiphambeko; futhi baphika ukuthi izahlulelo Zakhe zazizohanjelwa emhlabeni. Ukuba amadoda aleso sizukulwane ayewulalela umthetho waphezulu, ayeyolazi izwi likaNkulunkulu esixwayiso senceku Yakhe; kodwa izingqondo zabo zaziphuphuthekiswe kakhulu ukwenqaba ukukhanya kangangokuthi bakholelwa ngempela ukuthi isigijimi sikaNowa siyinkohliso.
Kwakungezona izixuku noma iningi elalisohlangothini lwelungelo. Umhlaba wawuhlotshiswe ngokumelene nobulungisa bukaNkulunkulu nemithetho Yakhe, futhi uNowa wayethathwa njengo oshiseka ngokweqile. USathane, lapho elinga u-Eva ukuba angamlaleli uNkulunkulu, wathi kuye, “Aniyikufa nokufa.” Genesise 3:4 . Amadoda amakhulu, amadoda ezwe, ahloniphekile, namadoda ahlakaniphile, aphinda okufanayo. “Izinsongo zikaNkulunkulu,” esho, “zingokwenjongo yokwethusa, futhi azisoze zaqinisekiswa. Akudingekile ukuba uthuke. Isigameko esifana nokubhujiswa komhlaba nguNkulunkulu owawenza, kanye nokujeziswa kwezidalwa azidalile, ngeke kwenzeke. Yiba nokuthula; ningesabi. UNowa ungumuntu oshiseka ngokweqile.” Umhlaba wajabula ngobuwula bekhehla elidukisiwe. Esikhundleni sokuthobisa inhliziyo phambi kukaNkulunkulu, baqhubeka nokungalaleli nobubi babo, kufana nokuthi uNkulunkulu wayengakhulumanga kubo ngenceku Yakhe. {PP 95.3–96.1}
Ikhwelo LikaJakobe kanye Nejubili Elingenanjabulo
Inkanyezi elandelayo ingase ingabi sobala njengozamcolo, kodwa isaqinisekisa umlando weBhayibheli, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo umlando weBhayibheli uqinisekisa iwashi ngalenkanyezi. Ngemva kukazamcolo, uhlanga olubuthakathaka lwaqhubeka nokwehla. UNkulunkulu wenza izithembiso ezikhethekile ku-Abrahama, ku-Isaka, nakuJakobe, nakuba ngamunye wabo ayebonisa ukuthambekela okwandayo ekuqambeni amanga nokukhohlisa. Esimweni esiphansi kakhulu ngangokunokwenzeka, uJakobe wazithola entula, eyedwa futhi ehlukene nomkhaya wakubo, njengoba ayebeka ikhanda lakhe phezu kwetshe ebusuku ngesikhathi ebalekela impindiselo eyayithenjisiwe yomfowabo. Umntwana wesithembiso wayesebalekile, futhi amaphayona eqiniso abonakala efile. Lokhu kuyiphawula kahle inkathi yehhashi elimnyama lophawu lwesithathu.
Kungalesi sikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu abonakala khona kuJakobe futhi wamthembisa ukuthi wayezombuyisela ekhaya futhi. Kulapha lapho uJakobe abona khona iladi (elifana neHSL) lokuya ezulwini, futhi wabona izulu livulekile (i-Orion) futhi waqamba leyo ndawo ngokuthi iBethele, ngoba kulapho ayebone khona “iNdlu kaNkulunkulu.” UJakobe wayazi ukuthi izulu likuphi nokuthi uNkulunkulu ukuphi. Labo abafunda i-Orion bangakwazi futhi ukuthi ukuphi. Izinkanyezi zamabhande zisabizwa ngezinye izikhathi ngokuthi “Ikhwelo LikaJakobe” kuze kube namuhla ukuze kukhunjulwe umbono wakhe. Kanjalo-ke akuqali nje ukuhlala kwakhe ezweni angalazi kanye nokusebenzela umalume ocindezelayo, kodwa kwaqala ukuvela kwesizwe esisha sabantu ababeyobizwa ngokuthi abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu. Ngokuvumelana nesithembiso saKhe, uNkulunkulu wambuyisela ephephile uJakobe ezweni lakubo ngemva kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe siqu ‘kokuzulazula’ kweminyaka engu-40.
Phakathi nenkathi yehhashi elimnyama, abantwana bakwaIsrayeli (uJakobe) behlela eGibhithe futhi banda lapho. UNkulunkulu wasigcina isithembiso asenza ku-Abrahama futhi wabakhulula eGibhithe ngemva kweminyaka engu-430 ephuma lapho ephuma eHarana eneminyaka engu-75 ubudala. Kokubili uEksodusi kanye nokungena kweKhanani kungaphakathi “kwewashi lomkhaza” owodwa wemigqa yezihlalo zobukhosi futhi kanjalo iwashi le-Orion liphinda liqinisekisa umlando ongcwele. Lezi zinsuku, ikakhulukazi ukungena eKhanani, zisungula umjikelezo weJubili phakathi kwezinye izinto. Lesi isihloko esithakaselwa abaningi, futhi ngiyajabula ukwabelana ngesikutholile mayelana nalolu daba nakuba kungase kusimangaze.
Ukubala kuze kufike eJubilini lama-70 kusukela ekungeneni okuqinisekisiwe kwe-Orion kusiletha onyakeni ka-1890. Yebo, lokhu kuyaphinda kukhombisa ukuthi kwakuyisu likaNkulunkulu ukuba uJesu abuye ngo-1890. Lokhu kuvumelana nazo zonke izifundo zethu, kodwa kulabo abalindele iJubili esikhathini esizayo esiseduze kuyisikhumbuzo esibuhlungu senhliziyo ebuhlungu kanye neqiniso lenhliziyo yomuntu 1888 engakwazi ukuvimbela inkani yenhliziyo yomuntu . ukugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho. UNkulunkulu akakwazi futhi ngeke amsindise umuntu noma abantu ngaphandle kwentando yabo, futhi okuhle akuthembisayo kungafezwa kuphela ngokubambisana ngokuzithandela. O! Kungenzeka yini ukuthi sifunde izifundo zethu esikhathini esidlule! Abantwana bakwaIsrayeli babengenakungena eKhanani nganoma yisiphi isikhathi ababesifuna; kwakufanele kuhambisane nesikhathi sikaNkulunkulu, nokho kwakufanele kube ngokubambisana kwabo. Ithuba lethu lokuqala laphuthelwa kabuhlungu ngo-1890, manje eliqinisekiswa iwashi leJubili. Manje yisikhathi sokulungiselela ithuba lethu lesibili kuphela ngo-2016. IJubili elijwayelekile lama-70 selidlulile, futhi isikhathi seJubili elikhulu elingokomfanekiso ezulwini sesifikile. Ususithathile isinqumo sakho sokunqoba “abakhileyo ezweni” (isono empilweni yakho) ngamandla kaJehova ngokumkhonza 100% kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwenzekani?
Uma kukubi emehlweni enu ukukhonza uJehova, zikhetheleni namuhla ukuthi ngubani eniyakumkhonza; noma onkulunkulu ababakhonzayo oyihlo bengaphesheya koMfula, noma onkulunkulu bama-Amori enihlala ezweni lawo; kepha mina nendlu yami siyakumkhonza uJehova. (UJoshua 24: 15)
(Indaba yomuntu ngamunye ngempela; ungase ungakwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu nendlu yakho yonke njengoba kwenza uJoshuwa.) Ukwahlukaniswa kwezwe kukaJoshuwa phakathi kwezizwe kulandelwa umlando wabahluleli bakwaIsrayeli. Ekugcineni abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baba nezwe kangangokuthi bafuna inkosi ezobabusa “njengazo zonke izizwe.” Waqala kanjalo-ke umlando wamakhosi akwaIsrayeli nakwaJuda, osiyisa kuyo yonke le ndlela ehlazisayo “ezansi” kule nkathi.
Izikhathi Eziyishumi Ngokugqama
“Uphawu lokumaka” lwenkanyezi yesine, oluhambisana nophawu lwesine nehhashi eliphaphathekile, lukhomba unyaka wama-677 BC.
Kulabo abangakuqapheli ngokushesha ukubaluleka kwalowo nyaka, ngivumele ngikwethule igugu elikhulu kunawo wonke ebhokisini lamatshe ayigugu likaWilliam Miller. Yisiprofetho sesikhathi eside kunazo zonke eBhayibhelini. Ikona hhayi isiprofetho sikaDaniyeli sezinsuku ezingama-2300 esaziwa kakhulu kuma-Adventist. Lesi akusona isiprofetho sesikhathi eside kunazo zonke eBhayibhelini futhi akusona ukuphela kwesiprofetho sesikhathi esiphela ngo-1844.
“Izikhathi eziyisikhombisa” kuLevitikusi 26 (bheka isithasiselo) zimelela okungaphezu nje kokwanda kokuqina kwesiyalo sikaNkulunkulu kuIsrayeli. UWilliam Miller waqaphela ukuthi isikhathi esiyisiprofetho seminyaka engu-7 yesiprofetho noma 7 × 360 = 2520 izinsuku zesiprofetho, ngokufanayo nendlela “isikhathi, izikhathi, nengxenye” okuhunyushwa ngayo njengeminyaka eyisiprofetho engu-3½ noma izinsuku eziyiziprofetho ezingu-1260. UMiller waqaphela ukuthi isiprofetho sika-2520, kanye nezinye iziprofetho, sahlangana ngonyaka ka-1843, salungiswa saze safika ku-1844. Njengoba ayenikeza inkulumo ngalezi zinto ngemva kokuna kwemvula emkhathini owuphawu lwesithupha ngo-1833, izinhliziyo eziningi zashukunyiswa futhi zaphendukela kuNkulunkulu ngenxa yobufakazi obuqand’ ikhanda. Ngizonika uMiller ngokwakhe udumo lokuchaza ukuqala kwale minyaka eyisikhombisa yesiprofetho:
Le minyaka eyisikhombisa yobugqila kumele ihlanganise lemibuso emine, iBabiloni noma okaNebukadinesari, owayeyinhloko yegolide; iMediya nePheresiya, iGrisi neRoma, okwamenza wonke umuntu onesono, kusukela ekhanda kuye ezinzwaneni zakhe.
Khona-ke, singabuza ukuthi, kwaqala nini ukugqilazwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu? Ngiyaphendula, lapho iBabiloni elingokoqobo liqala ukusebenzisa igunya phezu kwabo. Ngonyaka wamashumi amabili nambili wokubusa kukaManase, ngonyaka ongaphambi kukaKristu wama-677, abokugcina ezizweni eziyishumi bathunjwa, futhi uIsrayeli wayeka ukuba isizwe, ngokwesiprofetho sika-Isaya, vii.8: “Ngokuba inhloko yeSiriya yiDamaseku, inhloko yaseDamaseku nguResini: futhi phakathi neminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu, u-Efrayimi uyobe engasekho.” U-Isaya waprofetha lokhu ngonyaka wama-742 ngaphambi kukaKristu, isiprofetho esagcwaliseka ngokoqobo eminyakeni engamashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu kamuva, ngonyaka ka-BC 677. Khona-ke, futhi, uManase inkosi yakwaJuda wathunjelwa eBabiloni, futhi ukusongela kukaNkulunkulu kwaqala kubantu bakhe. 2 AmaKhosi xxi.10-14 : “UJehova wakhuluma ngezinceku zakhe abaprofethi, wathi: “Ngenxa yokuthi uManase, inkosi yakwaJuda, wenze lezi zinengiso, wenza okubi ngaphezu kwakho konke ama-Amori ayengaphambi kwakhe, okwenza ukuba noJuda one ngezithombe zakhe; isho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela okubi phezu kweJerusalema noJuda, ukuba yilowo nalowo ozwayo, izindlebe zakhe zombili zinkeneneze. Ngiyakwelula phezu kweJerusalema umucu wokulinganisa waseSamariya, ukwehla wendlu ka-Ahabi: futhi Ngiyakwesula iJerusalema njengomuntu esula isitsha, esesula, asiguqe. Futhi ngizokushiya insali efeni lami, ubanikele esandleni sezitha zabo; bayakuba yimpango nempango yazo zonke izitha zabo. Futhi, xxiv.3,4: “Ngempela ngomyalo weNkosi lokhu kwehlela uJuda; ukuze abasuse ebusweni bakhe, ngenxa yezono zikaManase njengakho konke akwenzayo; nangenxa yegazi elingenacala alichitha, (ngokuba wagcwalisa iJerusalema ngegazi elingenacala), okwathi uJehova kazange athethelele.” {UWilliam Miller, Isifundo NgamaSabatha Ajwayelekile Nejubhili Elikhulu, LTSGJ 16.1–18.1}
Ngangicophelela ukucaphuna hhayi kuphela izitatimende zobuchwepheshe zikaMiller, kodwa nolaka lukaNkulunkulu phezu kwabantu abathandwa kangaka. Ukubekezela kukaNkulunkulu kunomkhawulo. UNkulunkulu wayishiya insali yabantu baKhe emuva ngalesosikhathi ukuze ayisuse phambi kwaKhe, futhi uJesu ngokufanayo uye wathembisa ukuthi uyoyihlanza “insali” ezibiza ngeLawodikeya ngokuqhosha namuhla. Ulaka lukaNkulunkulu aluyona into ehlekisayo bakwethu.
Ithophu yokuqondisa (noma i-plumb bob) iyisisindo esicijile ekugcineni kwentambo. Isetshenziselwa ukwakha ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ubukhulu besakhiwo "i-plumb" ngempela noma iqondile. Kunamavesi amathathu ncamashi eBhayibhelini akhuluma ngomthofu wokuqondisa. UMiller ucaphune isenzakalo sokuqala esingenhla. Eyesibili imi kanje:
Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngabeka eSiyoni itshe lesisekelo, itshe elivivinyiwe, itshe legumbi eliyigugu, isisekelo esiqinisekileyo; okholwayo akayikushesha. Ukwahlulela ngiyakubeka kube intambo, nokulunga kubo i-plumet: isichotho siyakukhukhula isiphephelo samanga, amanzi akhukhule indawo yokucasha. (Funda u-Isaya 28:16-17.)
Lamavesi aphakathi kokukhuzwa “kwezidakwa zakwa-Efrayimi” (abaholi beSonto LamaSabatha) abanikezwa imvula yakamuva esigijimini se-Orion kodwa benqaba:
Wathi kubo, Yilokho ukuphumula eningenza ngalo abakhatheleyo ukuphumula; futhi yilokhu ivuselela: nokho abezwanga. (U-Isaya 28: 12)
Ireferensi yesithathu yokuqondisa kabusha ihlobene nokubekwa kwesisekelo:
Izandla zikaZerubabele zibeke isisekelo sale ndlu; izandla zakhe ziyakuqeda; niyakwazi ukuthi uJehova Sebawoti ungithumile kini. Ngokuba ngubani odelele usuku lwezinto ezincane na? ngokuba bayakujabula, balibone ukwehla esandleni sikaZerubabele nge labo abayisikhombisa; bangamehlo kaJehova, azulazula emhlabeni wonke. (Funda uZakariya 4:9-10.)
Siyazi ukuthi itshe legumbi lesisekelo nguJesu Kristu, indoda esamile e-Orion inxusa igazi elaligobhoza emanxebeni Akhe. Inkanyezi yakhe, i-Alnitak, isenkabeni “yalezo eziyisikhombisa” ze-Orion, “amehlo” amasondo kaHezekeli ewashini lasezulwini. Ziyaqhubeka nokujikeleza ezulwini futhi zibonakala emhlabeni wonke.
Izinkanyezi ze-Orion zikhomba njengokuqondisa kwezehlakalo ezingokomlando ezisungula “isisekelo esiqinisekile” sokholo lwethu, futhi inkanyezi yesine yangaphandle yewashi nayo ikhomba ku-677 BC.
Angikwazi ukushiya lesi sihloko ngaphandle kwezwi ngoJeff Pippenger, ongumsekeli owaziwayo wesiprofetho se-2520. Ngahlangana naye mathupha eminyakeni ethile edlule komunye wemihlangano yakhe futhi ngambuza imibuzo embalwa, kodwa ngangingeke ngilindele ukuthi angikhumbule. Impendulo yakhe komunye wemibuzo yami yembula ukuthi uphambene ngokuphelele nokumiswa kwesikhathi, futhi kubikwa ukuthi ugomela ngokuthi ukukholelwa esiprofethweni sika-2520 kuyindaba yensindiso. UMfoweth’ uJohn uselusingathile kakade udaba lokubeka isikhathi encwadini Usuku Nehora kodwa ngingathanda ukwengeza amasenti ami amabili kusicaphuni esilandelayo, njengoba sihlobene nesihloko:
Ukushunyayelwa kwesikhathi esinqunyiwe sokwahlulelwa, ekukhishweni kwesigijimi sokuqala, kwaba eyalwe nguNkulunkulu. Ukubalwa kwezikhathi ezingokwesiprofetho leso sigijimi sasisekelwe kuzo, okubeka ukuphela kwezinsuku ezingu-2300 ekwindla ka-1844, ngaphandle kokuthweswa icala. Imizamo ephindaphindiwe yokuthola izinsuku ezintsha zokuqala nokuvalwa kwezinkathi zeziprofetho, kanye nokucabanga okungaphusile okudingekayo ukuze kusekelwe lezi zikhundla, akugcini nje ngokuhoxisa izingqondo eqinisweni lamanje, kodwa kuphonsa indelelo kuyo yonke imizamo yokuchaza iziprofetho. 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}
Ukushumayela kukaMiller kwakuyalwa nguNkulunkulu—izinkanyezi ze-Orion nazo “zazihlelwe” nguNkulunkulu. Ukubalwa kwezinkathi ezingokwesiprofetho (ubuningi, kuhlanganise neka-2520) kumile ngaphandle kokusolwa—kanjalo nangewashi le-Orion.
Ingxenye esele yesigaba iqondiswe kulabo aba wenqatshelwe the ongathweswa icala izibalo ezazikhona eyalwe nguNkulunkulu. BAYAKHIPHA izingqondo zabo eqinisweni lamanje. BAYADALA yonke imizamo yokuchaza iziprofetho. IMIZAMO yabo enyanyekayo yokuhlela isikhathi ihlambalaza inhlangano enkulu yokuza. Uma bephikelela, BAZOlungisa usuku olukude kakhulu esikhathini esizayo.
Ngokuphambene, iwashi le-Orion alikona nje ukuhlela isikhathi kokuklama komuntu. Yayiyalwe nguNkulunkulu; ime ngaphandle kokuthweswa icala, futhi ihlonipha umnyakazo omkhulu wokuza ngokukhanyisa ubucwebe bayo ngokuphindwe kashumi futhi inezele ngokuphindaphindiwe ebuhleni nasenomboloni yabo.
Manje cabanga lesi sicaphuno esihlotshaniswa nesiprofetho sika-2520:
…Uma ningakholwa, aniyikuqiniswa. (Funda u-Isaya 7:9.)
Ukuphawula kwami kokugcina kuJeff Pippenger nabalandeli bakhe, abenza i-2520 ibe indaba yensindiso, ukubuyisela leli vesi kubo. Uma ningakholwa yizwi le-Orion, aniyikuqiniswa. Mfowethu Jeff, ulwazi lwami lomuntu siqu ngamasemina akho kanye namavidiyo ukuthi ubhukuda exhaphozini eliyisiprofetho elingaqondakali futhi elingenasiphelo ngoba awuboni ukuthi ukuvinjelwa kokubeka isikhathi sekususiwe. Ngokubona kwami ufana nomuntu ozaziyo ukuthi unesikhathi nomengameli, kodwa akaliphathi iwashi ukuze abone ukuthi yisikhathi sini, futhi angenzi mzamo wokwazi ukuthi ulindelwe nini!
Abanye abasekeli be-2520 abakhululekile futhi abazimisele ukubeka isikhathi benza kanjalo ngaphandle kokuqonda. Bafana nezingane ezijabulela ukuba newashi lazo lokuqala, kodwa abazi ukuthi lisethwa kanjani. Kumane kuyithoyizi kubo—into abangazijabulisa ngayo. Noma ubani ozohlanganyela ekukhaleni kwesibili kwaphakathi kwamabili kufanele afunde isihloko sethu esichaza lokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo lapho esho Kufanele Uphinde Uprofethe...
Ukuze siphethe uphawu lwesine, phawula ukuthi ihhashi eliphaphathekile elinomgibeli walo onguKufa liwumfanekiso ophelele wesizwe esase saba ngokwezwe kangangokuthi sasingesezwe ngisho nangokwengeziwe kunezwe ngokwalo. Kwakungaseyena abantu abangajwayelekile. Abaholi balo babenjengezidumbu ezibhodla ihhashi elifayo. Ekugcineni abantu bonke bathunjwa, iJerusalema labhujiswa, nethempeli likaSolomoni lashiswa.
Umlando wezwe uvumelana nonyaka wama-677, iminyaka esele yamakhosi, iminyaka engu-70 yokuthunjwa, iminyaka engu-80 ehlanganisa isimemezelo sikaKoresi nomthetho ka-Aritahishashita, futhi ekugcineni amasonto angu-70 kaDaniyeli kuze kube sekubethelweni.
Igunya LeZwi LikaNkulunkulu
Umjikelezo omkhulu wewashi le-Orion uqinisekisa izinsuku ezivela eKhanani zibuyela eNdalweni futhi kusukela ekuthunjweni kukaManase kuya phambili kuya ekuzalweni kukaKristu. Ake sihlole kafushane iminyaka engu-865 phakathi kweKhanani nokuthunjwa kukaManase. Ekuqaleni, leli vesi elilandelayo libonakala liwusizo kakhulu:
Futhi kwenzeka e unyaka wamakhulu amane namashumi ayisishiyagalombili ngemva kokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bephumile ezweni laseGibhithe, ngo unyaka wesine kaSolomoni ekubuseni kuka-Israyeli, ngenyanga kaZifi, eyinyanga yesibili, waqala ngayo ukwakha indlu kaJehova. ( 1 AmaKhosi 6:1 )
Ukuthatha okungu-480 kwabangu-865 kushiya iminyaka engu-385 ingxenye enkulu yokubusa kukaSolomoni kanye namakhosi kuze kube sekuthunjweni kukaManase. Kungase kungabonakali ngokushesha, kodwa empeleni ayikho indlela yokuthi ukubusa kwamakhosi kunganwetshwa ngaleyo minyaka eminingi nanoma yimuphi umphumela ovumelanayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ubufakazi bukaPawulu buyathakazelisa:
Futhi emva kwalokho wabanika abahluleli cishe isikhathi iminyaka engamakhulu amane namashumi ayisihlanu, kwaze kwaba nguSamuweli umprofethi. Emva kwalokho bacela inkosi; uNkulunkulu wabanika uSawule indodana kaKishi, indoda yesizwe sakwaBenjamini, endaweni yenkosi. iminyaka engamashumi amane. (Izenzo 13: 20-21)
Ukuthatha angu-450 kwabangu-480 kweyoku-1 AmaKhosi 6:1 kushiya angu-30 kuphela, futhi asizange sisuse ukuzulazula kwehlane iminyaka engu-40, noma ukubusa kukaSawule kweminyaka engu-40, noma ukubusa kukaDavide kweminyaka engu-40, noma ezinye izikhathi ezincane! Ingabe kufanele sizikholelwe izEnzo 13, noma eyoku-1 AmaKhosi 6:1?
Uyabona ukuthi kwenzekani? Ngakolunye uhlangothi losuku lwesisekelo sethempeli ayikho iminyaka eyanele, kodwa ngakolunye uhlangothi miningi kakhulu. Isiphetho esinengqondo siwukuthi iminyaka engu-480 yeyoku-1 AmaKhosi 6:1 inephutha. Nakuba eyethu incazelo yeBhayibheli ikufakazela ngokuqinile ukuba yiqiniso kwalombhalo, ezinye izincazelo ziyayishiya ngezizathu eziningi ezinhle. Kufanele sinyathele ngokucophelela uma sizama ukubekela izwi likaNkulunkulu inselele.
Yonke imibhalo iphefumulelwe nguNkulunkulu ilungele ukufundisa, nokusola, nokuqondisa, nokuyala ekulungeni (2 Thimothewu 3:16).
Ingabe kungenzeka ukuthi uNkulunkulu angavumela iphutha ezwini Lakhe elilotshiwe? Siyazi ukuthi wasebenzisa amathuluzi abantu ukurekhoda, ukusabalalisa, nokuhumusha izwi Lakhe phakathi nenkulungwane yeminyaka. Siyazi futhi ukuthi kukhona amaphutha amancane afana nezimpawu zokubhala ezibekwe endaweni engafanele nokunye. Lokhu akulunyakazisi ukholo lwethu ezwini eliphefumulelwe ngoba kalula singaqhathanisa amanye amavesi eBhayibheli ukuze siphendule noma yimiphi imibuzo, kodwa kungani uNkulunkulu engavumela iphutha elisobala njengale minyaka engu-480 ezwini laKhe eliphefumulelwe? Mhlawumbe kunesifundo esibalulekile kulokhu.
Izwi likaNkulunkulu yilona kuphela izwi eliphethe igunya elanele lokuzichaza nokuzilungisa. Izwi likaNkulunkulu elivela ku-Orion linegunya njengezwi elilotshiwe. Liyisisekelo esiqine ukwedlula iminyaka engu-480 ithempeli likaSolomoni lakhiwa phezu kwalo. Iqinisekisa ngokusobala ukuthunjwa kukaManase ngo-677 BC, futhi iqinisekisa ngokucacile umugqa wesikhathi osuka eKhanani ubuyela eNdalweni. Ngakho, lisitshela ukuthi iminyaka engu-480 kusukela oFudukweni kuya esisekelweni sethempeli inephutha nakanjani, nokuthi isifinyezo sikaPawulu sobude besikhathi sabahluleli sinikeza isibalo esinembe kakhudlwana ngempela.
Ukuxazulula inkinga endala yokulandelana kwezenzakalo zeBhayibheli kwanelisa okungaphezu kwelukuluku lokwazi labashisekeli bomlando weBhayibheli. Kubonisa ukuthi isigijimi se-Orion sinokwethenjelwa njengoJesu ofanayo omi lapho ekhulumela mina nawe. Masiqhubeke lapho sigcine khona esicaphunweni sokuqala sikaDade White:
Lo mqulu wawubhalwe ngaphakathi nangaphandle. UJohane uthi: “Ngakhala kakhulu, ngokuba akufunyanwanga muntu ofanele ukuyivula nokufunda incwadi, nokubheka kuyo.” Umbono owaboniswa uJohane wagxila engqondweni yakhe. Isiphetho sazo zonke izizwe yayiqukethwe kuleyo ncwadi. UJohane wayephatheke kabi ngokungakwazi kwanoma yimuphi umuntu noma ukuhlakanipha kwengelosi ukufunda amazwi, noma ngisho nokuwabheka. Umphefumulo wakhe wenziwa usizi nokudideka kangangokuthi enye yezingelosi ezinamandla yamhawukela, yabeka isandla sayo phezu kwakhe, yaqinisekisa, yathi: “Ungakhali; bhekani, inqobile iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda, iMpande kaDavide, ukuba ivule incwadi, ithukulule izimpawu zayo eziyisikhombisa.”
UJohane uyaqhubeka: “Ngase ngibona, bheka, phakathi kwesihlalo sobukhosi nezidalwa ezine eziphilayo, naphakathi kwamalunga, kumi iWundlu kungathi lihlatshiwe; linezimpondo eziyisikhombisa namehlo ayisikhombisa, angoMoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu abathunyelwe emhlabeni wonke. Yeza yathatha incwadi esandleni sokunene salowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi.” Njengoba incwadi ivulwa, bonke ababeyibuka bagcwala ukwesaba. Zazingekho izikhala encwadini. Sasingasekho isikhala sokungabhalwa. [ IsAmbulo 5:8-14; 6:8, ocashuniwe.] {20MR 197.3–4}
Iwashi le-Orion liqukethe ikusasa lawo wonke umuntu. Isikhathi esiboniswe ewashini sivala igebe lesono phakathi kwe-Edene neJerusalema Elisha futhi sinikeza isisekelo esiyosenza simelane nezivunguvungu ezinamandla kunazo zonke ezake zaba khona isintu.
Ingabe ubhekene nezivunguvungu empilweni yakho namuhla? Vula amehlo akho ku-Orion futhi uvumele u-Alnitak (uJesu), olimele, abe isikhungo sothando lwakho! Njengoba wenza uhambo lwakho lomuntu siqu ubusuku nemini, vumela izici Zakhe ezithandekayo zenze umbono wazo enhliziyweni yakho.
“Lapho selivula uphawu lwesihlanu. Ngabona phansi kwe-altare imiphefumulo yababulewe ngenxa yezwi likaNkulunkulu nangenxa yobufakazi ababenabo. bamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, bathi. Koze kube nini, Nkosi, oNgcwele noqinisileyo, ungahluleli uphindisele igazi lethu kwabakhileyo emhlabeni na? Base benikwa yilowo nalowo izingubo ezimhlophe [Kwakuthiwa bahlanzekile futhi bangcwele]; Kwathiwa kubo ukuthi basaphumule isikhashana, kuze nezinceku ezikanye nabo nabafowabo; okufanele babulawe njengabo, kufanele kugcwaliseke” [IsAmbulo 6:9-11]. Nazi izigcawu ezethulwa kuJohane ezazingelona iqiniso kodwa lokho okuzoba senkathini yesikhathi esizayo. {20MR 197.5}
Bangane, uphawu lwesihlanu luyaphinda. Kuzobiza kakhulu ukuthi “kuthiwe umsulwa futhi ungcwele” kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukubala kanjani, kodwa ngiyakuncenga ngenxa yaLowo owachitha igazi Lakhe ngenxa yakho, ukuthi uzothembeka Kuye nganoma iyiphi indlela. Njengoba uJohane uMambuli “ngokuqinisekileyo” aduduzwa iqiniso lokuthi incwadi yayivuliwe, nathi singase siduduzwe incwadi evuliwe manje ephendula ukukhala kosizi kokuthi “koze kube nini” kumelwe sithwale isiphepho.
Kufanele wazi ukuthi lesi sihloko sokuphetha sengxenye ethi “Iwashi LikaNkulunkulu” sabhalwa futhi sanyatheliswa ngokwesiyalezo saphezulu. UNkulunkulu walucacisa usuku lokukhululwa ngoMoya ophilayo Wesiprofetho. Njengamathuluzi angabantu, asigonyiwe emaphutheni njengoba wazi kahle, kodwa siyayazi indlela yokulalela nokulalela lapho uNkulunkulu esitshela ukuba sihambise ukudla okungokomoya kubantu baKhe ngesikhathi esifanele.
UNkulunkulu wakhetha indawo yethu lapha eParaguay eningizimu nenkabazwe ngaphambi kokuba noma ubani wethu azi ukuthi kwakuyoba khona into enjengomyalezo we-Orion. Nguye osiholayo nosiqondisayo. Nakuba ubona izenzakalo zangempela, ezibambekayo, ezibonakalayo zembuleka ekugcwalisekeni kwesiprofetho kulo nyaka, ngikweluleka ukuba uthathe ngokungathi sína imilayezo eza kuwe ivela “emakamelweni aseningizimu.”
Isithasiselo A: Isiprofetho sika-2520
Ekushumayeleni kwakhe, uWilliam Miller wabonisa ukuthi izinkathi zeziprofetho eziningana ezinkulu zazifika ekupheleni ngo-1843 (zalungiswa kwaze kwaba ngu-1844). Isikhathi eside kunazo zonke kulezo zikhathi ezingokwesiprofetho sibalwa njengezinsuku zesiprofetho ezingu-2520 noma iminyaka engokoqobo engu-2520, kusekelwe esiqalekisweni “sezikhathi eziyisikhombisa” kuLevitikusi 26 (ngezansi). UMiller wabonisa kweminye imibhalo yeBhayibheli ukuthi ukuthunjwa kukaManase kwaphawula ukuqala kwesiqalekiso, futhi kanjalo kwaba ukuqala kwalenkathi enkulu yesiprofetho. Kusukela ocwaningweni lomlando, uMiller wanquma ukuthi uManase wathunjwa ngo-677 BC (Waphenduka, futhi wabuyiselwa futhi waqhubeka nokubusa ngemva kwalokho, kodwa isiqalekiso sase siqale ukusebenza.) Izibalo zikaMiller (bheka isithombe seshadi lakhe) zazimi kanje:
Izikhathi eziyi-7 noma iminyaka × izinyanga eziyi-12/unyaka = izinyanga ezingama-84; Izinyanga ezingama-84 × izinsuku ezingama-30/inyanga = izinsuku ezingama-2520
2520 iminyaka - 677 iminyaka BC = 1843 iminyaka AD
Ukulungisa iphutha lakudala likaMiller ngokucabangela ukuthi awukho unyaka onguziro phakathi kuka-1 BC no-AD 1, umphumela uba ngu-1844 esikhundleni sika-1843.
Ukuze uthole ukwaziswa okwengeziwe ngeziprofetho zesikhathi ezinhle ezatholwa uWilliam Miller, bheka: Isifundo NgamaSabatha Ajwayelekile Nejubili Elikhulu (kaWilliam Miller)
Levitikusi 26:
[Isibuyekezo Somthetho]
1 “Aniyikuzenzela izithombe, ningamisi izithombe ezibaziweyo, ningamisi itshe eliyisithombe ezweni lakini ukulikhothamela, ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.”
2 “Anogcina amasabatha ami, nihloniphe indlu yami engcwele; nginguJehova.”
[Isibusiso]
3 Uma nihamba ngezimiso zami, nigcine imiyalo yami, niyenze;
4 Khona-ke ngiyakuninika imvula ngesikhathi sayo, izwe liveze izithelo zalo, nemithi yasendle ithele izithelo zayo.
5 Ukubhula kwenu kuyakufinyelela ekuvunweni kwezithelo, ukuvuna kwezithelo kuyakufinyelela esikhathini sokuhlwanyela; niyakudla isinkwa senu nisuthe, nihlale ezweni lakini niphephile.
6 Ngiyakunika ukuthula ezweni, nilale phansi, kungabikho okwethusayo; ngiyakususa izilwane ezimbi ezweni, nenkemba ayiyikudabula ezweni lakini.
7 Niyakuxosha izitha zenu, ziwe phambi kwenu ngenkemba.
8 Abahlanu kini bayakuxosha abayikhulu, abayikhulu kini bayakuxosha izinkulungwane eziyishumi, izitha zenu ziwe phambi kwenu ngenkemba.
9 Ngoba ngizalihlonipha, ngilenze lizale, ngilandise, ngimise isivumelwano sami lani.
10 Niyakudla ukudla okudala, nikhiphe okudala ngenxa yokusha.
11 Ngiyakubeka itabernakele lami phakathi kwenu, umphefumulo wami awuyikunengwa yinina.
12 Ngiyakuhamba phakathi kwenu, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu, nina nibe ngabantu bami.
13 NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu owanikhipha ezweni laseGibithe ukuba ningabi yizigqila zabo; ngaphulile izibopho zejoka lenu, ngenza ukuba nihambe niqonde.
[Qalekisa]
14 Kodwa uma ningangilaleli, ningayenzi yonke le miyalo,
15 Uma nilahla izimiso zami, noma umphefumulo wenu unengwa yizahlulelo zami, ukuze ningayenzi yonke imiyalo yami, kodwa nephule isivumelwano sami,
16 Nami ngiyakwenza lokhu kini: ngiyakunehlisela uvalo, ukubhujiswa, nokushisa okuyakuqeda amehlo, kubangele usizi enhliziyweni; niyakuhlwanyela imbewu yenu ngeze, ngokuba izitha zenu ziyakuyidla.
17 Ngiyakubeka ubuso bami bumelane nani, nibulawe phambi kwezitha zenu; abanizondayo bayakubusa phezu kwenu, nibaleke ningaxoshwa muntu.
18 Kodwa uma ningangilaleli nangalokhu konke, khona-ke ngizonijezisa kasikhombisa kakhulu ngezono zenu.
19 Ngiyakwaphula ukuzidla kwamandla enu, ngenze izulu lenu libe njengensimbi, nomhlaba wenu ube njengethusi.
20 Amandla enu ayakuchithwa ngeze, ngokuba izwe lakini aliyikuthela izithelo zalo, nemithi yezwe ayiyikuthela izithelo zayo.
21 Uma nihamba ngokuphambene nami, ningangilaleli, ngiyakuniletha kasikhombisa ezinye izinhlupho phezu kwenu ngokwezono zenu.
22 Ngiyakuthuma izilo zasendle phakathi kwenu, eziyakuniphuca abantwana benu, zibhubhise izinkomo zenu, zininciphise ngenani, izindlela zenu ezinkulu zibe yihlane.
23 Futhi uma ningakhuzwa yimi ngalezi zinto, kodwa nihamba ngokuphambene nami;
24 Nami ngiyakuhamba ngiphambene nani, nginijezise ngisaya kasikhombisa ngenxa yezono zenu.
25 Ngiyakunilethela inkemba eyakuphindisela isivumelwano sami; lapho senibuthene emizini yenu, ngiyakunithumela isifo esiwumshayabhuqe, ninikelwe esandleni sesitha.
26 Lapho sengiphule udondolo lwesinkwa senu, abesifazane abayishumi bayakubhaka isinkwa senu kuhhavini owodwa, banibuyisele isinkwa senu ngesisindo; niyakudla ningasuthi.
27 Kodwa uma ningangilaleli nangazo zonke lezi zinto, kodwa nihamba ngokuphambene nami,
28 Khona-ke nami ngizohamba ngiphambene nani ngokufutheka; mina, yebo, mina, ngizonijezisa. kasikhombisa ngenxa yezono zenu.
29 Niyakudla inyama yamadodana enu, nenyama yamadodakazi enu niyakuyidla.
30 Ngiyakuchitha izindawo zenu eziphakemeyo, nginqume izinsika zenu zelanga, ngiphonse izidumbu zenu phezu kwezidumbu zezithombe zenu, umphefumulo wami uyakunengwa yinina.
31 Ngiyakwenza imizi yenu ibe yincithakalo, ngenze izindawo zenu ezingcwele zibe yincithakalo, angiyikuhogela iphunga lephunga lenu elimnandi.
32 Ngiyakulenza izwe libe yincithakalo, izitha zenu ezihlala kulo zimangale ngalo.
33 Ngiyakunihlakaza phakathi kwezizwe, ngihoshe inkemba emva kwenu; izwe lakini liyakuba yincithakalo, nemizi yenu ibe yincithakalo.
34 Khona izwe liyakuthokoza ngamasabatha alo, ngesikhathi lihlala liyincithakalo, nina nisesezweni lezitha zenu; khona-ke izwe liyakuphumula, lithokoze ngamasabatha alo.
35 Ngesikhathi lihlala liyincithakalo liyophumula, ngoba alizange liphumule ngamasabatha enu, lapho nahlala kulo.
36 Labo abaseleyo kini ngiyakubathumela ukwesaba ezinhliziyweni zabo emazweni ezitha zabo; umsindo weqabunga elinyakaziswayo uyakubaxosha; babaleke njengokubalekela inkemba, bawe bengaxoshwa muntu.
37 Bayakuwa omunye phezu komunye, njengokungathi baphambi kwenkemba, kungekho obaxoshayo; aniyikuba namandla okuma phambi kwezitha zenu.
38 Niyakubhubha phakathi kwezizwe, izwe lezitha zenu linidle.
39 Labo abaseleyo kini bayakuwohloka ngenxa yobubi babo emazweni ezitha zenu, futhi ngenxa yobubi bawoyise bayakuwohloka kanye nabo.
[Ukubuyisela]
40 Uma bevuma ububi babo nobubi bawoyise, ngesiphambeko sabo abaphambuka ngaso kimi, nokuthi bahambe ngokuphambene nami,
41 nokuthi nami ngihambe ngokuphambene nabo, ngabayisa ezweni lezitha zabo; uma-ke izinhliziyo zabo ezingasokile zithobeka, bese besamukela isijeziso sobubi babo,
42 Khona-ke ngizokhumbula isivumelwano sami noJakobe, nesivumelwano sami no-Isaka, nesivumelwano sami no-Abrahama, ngizosikhumbula; futhi ngizosikhumbula nezwe.
43 Izwe liyoshiywa yibo, lijabulele amasabatha alo, lapho lihlala liyincithakalo ngaphandle kwabo; bayakwamukela isijeziso sobubi babo, ngokuba, yebo, ngoba badelela izahlulelo zami, nangokuba umphefumulo wabo wanengwa yizimiso zami.
44 Nokho, noma kunjalo, lapho besesezweni lezitha zabo, angiyikubalahla, futhi angiyikubanenga, ukuze ngibabhubhise ngokuphelele, ngaphule isivumelwano sami nabo, ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.
45 Kepha ngenxa yabo ngiyakukhumbula isivumelwano sawokhokho babo engabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe emehlweni ezizwe, ukuze ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo; nginguJehova.
[Vala]
46 Lezi ziyizimiso nezahlulelo nemithetho uJehova ayenzayo phakathi kwakhe nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli entabeni yaseSinayi ngesandla sikaMose.
