Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoLwesine, February 18, 2010, 4:16 pm ngesiJalimane ngo www.letztercountdown.org
Cishe abaningi benu benilokhu bezibuza ukuthi kungani ngingakashicileli izindatshana ezintsha cishe emasontweni amabili. Kwakungenxa yokuthi ngidinga ukuphendula imibuzo yenu eminingi, nangenxa yokuthi ngithole iziqinisekiso eziningi ezintsha zewashi likaNkulunkulu. Kodwa-ke isitha asilele! Isigijimi esinjengalesi esiqukethwe iwashi likaNkulunkulu siyiva kuSathane, ngoba iqiniso liyosikhulula kuye nasesonweni.
Ngaso sonke isikhathi ngangilindele ukuthi ngiyohlaselwa ngokushesha uma nginyathelisa iwashi likaNkulunkulu, kodwa okwafika kwenziwa ngobuchule kangangokuthi kwangithatha isikhathi ukuhlukanisa iqiniso namanga.
Okokuqala, kwafika ama-imeyili ambalwa avela “kubazalwane” ngokusobala ababenesithakazelo esijulile sokutadisha iwashi le-Orion. Baluncoma lolu cwaningo kodwa baphinde bathi banenkinga encane ngakho. Iwashi elithi “Lami” alizange licabangele ikhalenda lamaJuda langempela. Ngakho-ke, ngahlola izitatimende zabo futhi ngathola ukuthi kungaba yiqiniso ngosuku olulodwa, okungenzeka kube ngonyaka we-1986. Njengoba iSonto Lama-Seventh-day Adventist lase lifake isicelo sobulungu ne-ACK (Council of Christian Churches in Germany) entwasahlobo ka-1986, kungenzeka ukuthi iwele onyakeni wamaJuda omdala, okwakungaba ngu-1985 obaluleke kakhulu ukuthi izenzakalo ze-1986 zazikhona okokuqala. isicelo sobulungu ne-ACK. Isenzakalo sesibili, okungenzeka futhi isizathu sophawu lukaNkulunkulu ewashini senzeka ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho ngo-October 27, 1986.
Ummeleli ongekho emthethweni (futhi namanje ongekho emthethweni) kanye nenxusa leSonto Lama-Seventh-day Adventist wabamba iqhaza osukwini lokuqala Lomthandazo Wokuthula Womhlaba Wonke e-Assisi, owabizwa uPapa John Paul II njengomhlangano womkhuleko wokuqala nomkhulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni wamasonto onke. Kusukela lapho, imihlangano iba njalo. Lapho, amaSeventh-day Adventist ayethandazela ukuthula kwezwe, kanye namaBuddha, izangoma, amaHindu, abathakathi, abapristi beVoodoo, amaKatolika, abakhulekeli bokhokho abafile nezinye izinkolo eziyisiqalekiso ngokusobala kuNkulunkulu wethu weBhayibheli. Futhi u-Okthoba 27, 1986 usonyakeni wekhalenda lamaJuda ka-1986. Ngo-2002, u-Bert B. Beach wabamba iqhaza njengommeleli osemthethweni weSonto Lama-Seventh-day Adventist oSuku Lomhlaba Lwesithathu Lokuthandazela Ukuthula.
Ngacabanga ukuthi lokho kwakuyoyixazulula inkinga yalaba bazalwane ababefunde ngokucophelela ikhalenda leBhayibheli futhi bajabulela ukuqhubeka nokufunda nabo. Okwalandela kwangimangaza. Bachaza ukuthi iwashi lalingeke libe elilungile futhi kufanele lilungiswe ngoba uKristu wayezobuya futhi ngoMkhosi Wamadokodo. Ima kancane, kuphi lokho eBhayibhelini? Futhi ngangingakakhulumi ngisho nokubuya kwangempela kukaKristu kuleyo nguqulo yokuqala yesifundo sewashi! Abakwazanga ukuchaza, kodwa bagomela ngokuqinile ngokuthi kuyoba njalo. Kuze kube namuhla abakachazi ukuthi yini ngempela okufanele ngiyishintshe ngewashi...kuphela nje ukuthi kuzodingeka ngilishintshe...nokuthi ngaphandle kwalokho ngizobe ngigcina iSabatha lamanga! ISabatha leqiniso lasebhayibhelini (bathi) kufanele libalwe ngokwenyanga, futhi iminyaka eyi-166 sonke sasigcina iSabatha lamanga ngoba iSabatha lethu alizange lihlanganiswe nenyanga ukuthi lalinjani kumaJuda...
Ngokusho kwabo, ukugcina iSabatha ngendlela efanele “ngokweBhayibheli” kwakuyosebenza kanje: Enkathini yokuqala yokwethwasa kwenyanga kwakuyoba iSabatha lokuqala. Khona-ke ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa kamuva ngeSabatha lesibili, lokho kuwusuku lwesishiyagalombili. Khona-ke elinye iSabatha ngolwe-15, lwama-22, nolwezi-29 lwenyanga yamaJuda, ahlala enesigqi sezinsuku eziyisikhombisa. Nokho, inkinga iwukuthi inyanga inomjikelezo ojikelezayo wezinsuku ezingaba ngu-29.5, ngakho isigqi seSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa asinakuhlotshaniswa nenyanga. Lokho bekungenzeka kuphela uma umjikelezo wenyanga ozungezayo ubuyizinsuku ezingama-28 ncamashi, ngakho laba bantu basebenzisa iqhinga. Bathi umjikelezo wenyanga ngayinye yokuthwasa kwenyanga uqala enyangeni yokuqala, okwenza usuku lweSabatha lushintshe lube osukwini oluhlukile lwesonto cishe njalo ngenyanga. Kimina, lokhu kwakubonakala kuyindida ekuqaleni, kodwa bathumela izinto. Abanye babenobungane kakhulu futhi benokuqonda ukuthi kufanele ngithathe isikhathi sami ngifunde futhi bazongithandazela. Iningi labanye lalinjengezingcweti zemfundiso yenkolo ezazizongicindezela ngokuthi uma ngingaphenduki ngokushesha futhi ngishintshe iwashi “lami,” ngangiyoba necala lokufa kwaphakade komphefumulo wami nomkami.
Esikhathini esedlule, izimpendulo zamaSeventh-day Adventist amaningi zazifana kakhulu maqondana newashi “lami”. Sengijwayele, kodwa iSabatha lenyanga lisangimangaza! Ngenza iphutha, futhi ngiyagcizelela ukuthi kube yiphutha ngokusobala, ukufunda ezinye zezifundo zabo. Ngingachaza okuphuma kuyo “njengokudideka” kwalasha. Abaningi balabo “bazalwane” bahlakaniphe kakhulu ngamagama futhi baqonda ngokuphelele ukuthi bangaguqula kanjani izinto ezilula zebhayibheli zibe izinto eziyinkimbinkimbi zenyanga. Noma ubani ongagxilile eZwini likaNkulunkulu angakhubeka kalula lapho. Izingxabano eziningi zibonakala zisobala kangangokuthi ngezinye izikhathi ngangingakwazi ukubona ihlathi lezihlahla. Izifundo ezintsha zazithunyelwa kimi kuzo zonke izinhlangothi uma ngibuza ngisho nombuzo owodwa. Ngokuphindaphindiwe ngangithola amakhasi angu-20 noma angu-30 okwaziswa okusha, ngezinye izikhathi kathathu noma kane ngosuku!
Ngangena emthandazweni. Kukhona okwakubonakala kufiphele ngale ndaba! Ingabe ngempela ngabathola abazalwane abathakazelayo nabangane bewashi likaNkulunkulu, noma kukhona okunye okwenzeka lapha? Ngababuza ukuthi kungani kuze kube manje kungekho noyedwa kubo owasho okuthile ngencazelo yangempela yewashi. Asikhulumi kakhulu lapha ngokubuya kwesibili kukaKristu; sonke siyazi ukuthi kuzoba maduze! Kuncane nakakhulu ngekhalenda lamaJuda noma iSabatha lenyanga. Kusakhuluma kakhulu ngesigijimi sengelosi yesine kanye nolwazi oluvela kuNkulunkulu ngokuthi abantu baKhe bawe nini futhi kanjani eqinisweni! Nokho, “abazalwane nodade” babengafuni ukwazi lutho ngalokho. Futhi basanda kungithumelela inqwaba yama-PDF amasha ngeSabatha lenyanga.
Ngemva cishe kwamasonto amabili ngicela uNkulunkulu ukuba angicacisele lolu daba, “ngafika”. Ngazibuza ukuthi lezi zifundo zingasho ukuthini, nokuthi ingaba yini inhloso yazo, uma kungenzeka ukuthi laba kwakungebona ngisho abazalwane ababezama ukugcina iSabatha leBhayibheli ngokucophelela, kodwa empeleni bayizitha? Khona-ke kwangicacela, futhi kumelwe ngivume ukuthi nginamahloni ukuthi angizange ngicabange ukwenza lokhu ngokushesha: “Phenya ukuthi ikhona yini inkolo egcina amaSabatha anjalo noma izinsuku zokuphumula njengokunye kwenyanga!
Ngakho ngenza lokho engangivame ukukwenza, ngaqala ukucwaninga kuyi-Internet. Ngisho nokusesha kokuqala kwakuveza.
On https://doormann.tripod.com/asssky.htm—futhi lesi isibonelo esisodwa kweziningi—sifunda ukuthi lezi zinsuku ziyizinsuku zokukhulekela zenkolo yasendulo yaseBabiloni naseSumeri:
Le mibhalo isitshela ukuthi ababikezeli baseBabiloni bahlola ukufana phakathi kwalokho okwabikezelwa ikhalenda nalokho okwakwenziwa isibhakabhaka. Ukuhamba ku-oda obekulindelekile kubhekwe ngokukhathazeka. EMesophothamiya cishe kwakungamaSumer, abantu abakha impucuko eyakhayo yesifunda, abasebenzisa ikhalenda lokuqala elisemthethweni. Ikhalenda laseSumeri laliyinyanga, kodwa izinyanga zalo zaqala lapho ucezu lokuqala lubonakala entshonalanga. Isiqephu senganekwane yendalo yaseBabiloni sinanela, emiyalweni kaMarduk eya enyangeni, ukukhathazeka ngomjikelezo wenyanga:
Wathi kuphume inyanga; ubusuku obuphathisiwe (kuyena) owabelwa kuye ukuhloba kobusuku ukuze kukale isikhathi; futhi njalo ngenyanga, ngokungahluleki, wayekhipha umqhele. “Lapho ukwethwasa kwenyanga kuphuma phezu kwezwe, akukhanye ngezimpondo, izinsuku eziyisithupha zokulinganisa; ngosuku lwesikhombisa, njengengxenye (yakho) umqhele (uvela). futhi (khona-ke) izinkathi zezinsuku eziyishumi nanhlanu zilingane zibe izingxenye ezimbili inyanga ngayinye. Njengoba, kamuva, ilanga lizuza phezu kwakho ezisekelweni zezulu, ncipha isinyathelo ngesinyathelo, hlehlisa ukukhula kwakho!” “Umqhele” uwucwephe lwenyanga olukhanya ngokugcwele, futhi izimpondo zibhekisela ecekeni elikhulayo. Ngosuku lwesikhombisa "umqhele oyingxenye" uchaza inyanga yekota yokuqala ekhanyisiwe, futhi ingxenye esele yombhalo ilandisa indlela inyanga okufanele iqhubeke ngayo ukukala izinyanga.
Amanye amagama enyanga yamaSumeri aye asekhona emibhalweni ye-cuneiform futhi, njengamagama aseGibhithe, abhekisela emikhosini eyinhloko yezinyanga: “Inyanga Yomkhosi KaShulgi” kanye “Nenyanga Yokudliwa Kwebhali KaNingursu.” Amadili ayehlelwa ngokwezigaba zenyanga, nemigubho evamile enkathini yokuqala yenyanga, ikota yokuqala (usuku lwesikhombisa), inyanga egcwele (usuku lweshumi nanhlanu), nosuku lokugcina.
Uma ufunda umbhalo ongenhla futhi uwuqhathanise nezifundo “zabazalwane”, uzobona ukuthi lolu wulimi olulodwa futhi lufana nesihloko. Imayelana nemikhosi yenyanga yenyanga yenkolo yasendulo yaseBhabhiloni.
Ngakhuluma nabagcini beSabatha lamaLunar ngakho, futhi ngokushesha impendulo yabuya yokuthi lezi zinsuku “ezimbi” zaseBabiloni azihambisani namaSabatha amaJuda eLunar. Nawu umlayezo omfishane “kadade” owayesevele engicasukele:
John othandekayo,
Ngokwemibhalo nje, ‘izinsuku ezimbi’ zaseBabiloni njengoba zazibizwa kanjalo zazingomhla woku-1, wesi-7, we-14, wama-21, wama-28. Hhayi ku-8, 15, 22, 29 njengeBhayibheli elilodwa. Ngakho-ke impikiswano yakho nayo ayimile.
Ngothando Lwakhe,
O.
Bheka ngokucophelela! Bayavuma lapha ukuthi “izinsuku ezimbi zaseBabiloni” zikhona, futhi yeka ukuthi isimangaliso, lezo zihlale ziwusuku olulodwa nje ngaphambi kwamaSabatha “AmaJuda” Ezinyanga. Kuyasolisa nakanjani, akunjalo? Kungenzeka kanjani lokhu? Impendulo ilula kakhulu uma utadisha iBhayibheli ngokucophelela ngolwazi oluthile. Sonke kufanele sazi ukuthi amaJuda asebenzisa lokho okubizwa ngokuthi uhlelo lokubala oluhlanganisayo. Kubo, usuku lokuqala lokuqala kwesikhathi luhlala lufakiwe enanini. Ngakho: usuku lokuqala + lwesikhombisa = usuku lwesishiyagalombili. Ngokuphambene, indlela yokubala yaseBabiloni ikhethekile. Usuku lokuqala alubalwa. Ngakho: usuku lokuqala + lwesikhombisa = usuku lwesikhombisa. (Ngeshwa, lokhu kuphinde kuxazulule inkinga ngezikhathi zombuso kaNebukadinesari eNcwadini kaDaniyeli. Nakulokhu, sinesikhathi sokubala esihlukene samaJuda nesaseBabiloni.)
Ake sifinyelele lokhu esiphethweni! Kokubili, usuku lokwethwasa kwenyanga kwakuwusuku lokuqala, ngakho kusobala ukuthi bobabili babegcina “iSabatha” lokuqala lenyanga ngayinye ngosuku olufanayo ncamashi. Nokho, usuku lwesi-7 lwaseBhabhiloni lungolwesi-8 lwamaJuda. Usuku lwe-14 lwaseBabiloni usuku lwe-15 lwamaJuda. Owama-21 ungowama-22, kanti owama-28 ngowama-29. Ngakho-ke zonke izinsuku ZIYIZINSUKU EZIFANAYO KANYE! Yizinsuku ezimbi zaseBhabhiloni!
Manje-ke, kuphakama umbuzo wokuthi wayengubani unkulunkulukazi owayekhulekelwa lapho. Kulula: Ishtar! Bheka izihloko zami ngejazi likapapa, ikakhulukazi Ibhele laseSt. Corbinian futhi Isipho SeZulu. Futhi, sithola wonke umfanekiso: u-Ishtar waseBabiloni, u-Isis waseGibhithe, u-Astarte waseFenike, uDemeter wamaGreki, uDiana ongumRoma, noMariya—uNina Wezizwe Zonke neNdlovukazi Yezulu onenyanga ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe—unkulunkulukazi wamaKatolika!
Ngakho futhi imayelana nokukhulekelwa kukankulunkulukazi wenyanga waseBabiloni lasendulo, omelelwa namuhla ezweni lamaKatolika ngoMariya. Ubuqaba obumsulwa nesiqalekiso kuNkulunkulu weqiniso onguMdali! Yingakho uNkulunkulu akhetha umjikelezo wezinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngokusekelwe evikini lendalo, futhi hhayi ngokuya ngomjikelezo wenyanga. Kwakuwukuhlukanisa usuku Lwakhe lweqiniso lokuphumula kube kanye, ukuqinisekisa ukwehlukana okucacile kuzo zonke izinkolo ezingezona ezeBhayibheli ezikhonza izindikimba zasezulwini esikhundleni soMdali wazo. Kwe Izithunzi Zekusasa Ngikhuluma ngencazelo yangempela yamaSabatha asekelwe enyangeni aseBhayibhelini futhi ngibonisa ukuthi “Amanga eSabatha Lezinyanga” aklanyelwe ukuvimba umlayezo omangalisayo kaNkulunkulu oya kubantu baKhe.
Ukusabela “kwabazalwane benyanga” kwakuthakazelisa kakhulu lapho ngithumela lokho engangikutholile kubo. Ngayalwa ukuba ngingalahli “ukuqonda kwabo okusha okuyigugu” ngokunganaki futhi ngikuphonse emlilweni, ngoba ngangiyojeziswa phakade ngakho! Manje, ingabe leyo ndlela yokucabanga ayizwakali ijwayelekile kuwe? Kuyenzeka kimi! Umbono wami ukuthi wonke lo mbono weSabatha lamaNyanga wasungulwa amaJesuit. Ungacabangi ukuthi kuyinto elula ukuphikisa konke lokhu ngeBhayibheli nangoMoya Wesiprofetho! Kukhona izingqondo ezihlakaniphile ngemuva kwalezi zifundo ukuze bakhohlise nabakhethiweyo uma kungenzeka! Sekunocwaningo lwamakhasi angaphezu kuka-3000 mayelana neminyaka ka-1937/38. Kwaxoxwa yiSeventh-day Adventist General Conference futhi kuze kube namuhla akuzona zonke izimpikiswano eziye zacaciswa ngokuphelele. Ibizwa ngokuthi i-Grace Amadon Collection. Uma ungathanda ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi njengoba ngenzile, vele ungene ku-google bese usisesha. Mina-ke, kuyacaca manje ukuthi uma othile efuna ukungenza ngigcine la maSabatha angajwayelekile ehambisana nezinyanga zokuqala zocezwana, futhi lezi “zenzeka nje” ukuba ziwele ngezinsuku ezifanayo zokukhulekelwa kukankulunkulukazi wenyanga yaseBhabhiloni neNdlovukazi yeZulu, khona-ke ngiyazi okungenani ukuthi asukelaphi! Ingabe nani bafowethu nodadewethu abathandekayo?
Kimina, umphumela walo lonke lolu vivinyo ukuthi ngilahlekelwe cishe amasonto amabili ocwaningweni, kuyilapho umlayezo wangempela enginawo ngawe ubhekane nokuhlehla kwesikhashana. Nokho, ngifuna ukukulungisa lokhu manje ngalesi sexwayiso nencazelo emfushane.
Ngakho ngicela ungakhohliswa yilembudane nokukhwabanisa! Ungazivumeli udideke ngezifundo ezibonakala ziyiBhayibheli ukuthi abakwaMillerite bafika ngosuku luka-Okthoba 22, 1844 ngezibalo zenyanga. UMiller kanye “nokunyakaza kweNyanga Yesikhombisa” (ingelosi yesibili) basebenzisa lolu hlobo lokubala ukuze babale uSuku Lokuhlawulelwa kanye nokuqala kokwahlulela kophenyo ngokuvumelana nekhalenda lamaKaraite, futhi bangalokothi babale iSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa. Ngisho namaJuda angamaKaraite, athatha iBhayibheli ngokungathi sína futhi abale izinsuku zawo zedili njengoba kuchaziwe www.karaite-korner.com (engincoma ukuthi uyifunde) ungagcini iSabatha elisuselwa enyangeni, kodwa iSabatha elijwayelekile losuku lwesikhombisa loMdali.
Laba “bazalwane benyanga”, nokho, bahlanganisa yonke into ekukhulekeleni kwenyanga. Emuva kokuthi ngiphakamise kwabanye babo ukuthi ngingakholwa ukuthi bangamaJesuit uqobo, nokuthi ngizoshicilela okunye okwenzeka kimi nabo engosini yami ye-inthanethi, angitholanga nelilodwa igama elithi “amaSabatha eNyanga” ngaze...ukuqagele...ngaze Shadow Series. Baqaphela ukuthi ngase ngidalule injongo yangempela yemikhosi yamaJuda esekelwe enyangeni futhi yonke imfundiso yabo yayizoqhuma njengegwebu, ngoba iqiniso liyakukhulula!
Kusenombuzo wokugcina wokuthi kungani ngihlaselwe yibona kanzima kangaka ekuqaleni. Kwakucishe kube umzamo ohlangene, ngoba ngathola ama-e-mail cishe kanye kanye avela eCanada, e-United States nakwamanye amazwe. Kungani amaJesuit ayefuna ngishintshe iwashi “lami”? Bangane, uma ukufunda kwami iwashi le-Orion kuyiphutha, njengoba abanye besho, kungani uSathane efuna ukungihlasela ngeSabatha lamanga? Ngokuqinisekile wayeyojabula futhi aneliseke ngokuthi iwashi seliwukuhlubuka kakade! Kodwa lokho akulona iqiniso. Eqinisweni, iwashi liwumyalezo wokugcina kaNkulunkulu kubantu baKhe, umlayezo wengelosi yesine. UNkulunkulu akashiyi lutho ngengozi futhi uhlala enathi, esihola, ikakhulukazi kulawa mahora okugcina omlando.
Bonga uNkulunkulu ngeSabatha, elingancikile enyangeni, kodwa ekulula ukulibala usebenzisa iminwe eyisikhombisa! Shabbat shalom!
