Chachikulu ndi Yehova, ndi kutamandidwa kwakukulu; ndi ukulu wake wosasanthulika. Mbadwo wina udzatamanda ntchito zanu kwa wina, Ndidzafotokozera zamphamvu zanu. Ndidzanena za ulemerero wa ulemerero wanu, ndi zodabwitsa zanu. ( Salimo 145:3-5 )

Pamapeto pa tsiku, nzeru za Mulungu zimawala kwambiri. Ndi munthu amene ali wopereŵera m’kumvetsetsa kwake ndi kuzindikira koma ukulu wa Mulungu wochepa, koma ngati tidikira moleza mtima ndi kulingalira zimene Iye akuchita, kuzindikira kwathu kumakula, ndipo timawona nzeru ya njira zake. Choncho, m’pofunika kuleza mtima ndi kudzichepetsa pakuyenda kwathu ndi Mulungu wopanda malire.

Tikamaphunzira za Mulungu, sitidzafika posiya kuphunzira. Nthawi zonse pali zambiri zoti tiphunzire—nzeru zambiri; kuzama kwambiri kwa kuzindikira; zambiri zodabwitsa. Pamaso pa Iye, tili ngati ana aang’ono, ndipo ngati wina sazolowera kawonedwe kodzichepetsa kameneka, adzachoka ku kuwala kwake ndi chikondi chake, akumamva bwino mumdima, kumene angadzikhulupirire okha kukhala aakulu.

Zabwino ndi zowongoka ndiye Yehova: Chifukwa chake adzaphunzitsa ochimwa panjira. Ofatsa adzatsogolera m’chiweruzo: ndi ofatsa adzaphunzitsa njira yake. Njira zonse zopangira Yehova chifundo ndi choonadi kwa iwo akusunga pangano lake ndi mboni zake. (Ŵelengani Salimo 25:8-10.)

M’nkhani ino, tifotokoza zinthu zochititsa chidwi kwambiri zimene taphunzira zokhudza Mulungu ndi utsogoleri wake. Ndi malo oyera omwe timapitako. Chifukwa chake, timayandikira mituyi ndi ulemu waukulu ndi mantha, ndipo tikupempha kuti nanunso mutengere ulemu womwewo. Ndi ulemu waukulu, umene ndili woyamikira, koma wosayenerera, kuyitanidwa kuti ndilembe pa mutu wapamwamba kwambiri monga momwe wafotokozedwera apa. Ndikupemphera kuti Mzimu Woyera agwiritse ntchito mawu anga ofooka kukubweretserani inu, owerenga okondedwa, kulawa kwa kukoma kwa chipatso chochokera ku Kanani yakumwamba.

Fingerprint of Divinity

Zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri zoyambirira za utumiki uwu zadzaza ndi chitsogozo ndi mavumbulutso ochokera kwa Mulungu. Ineyo pandekha, ndinayamba kuidziwa bwino itatuluka pa intaneti pafupifupi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, pamene mchimwene wanga Robert anagawana nawo webusaitiyi ataipeza “mwangozi.” Ndimakumbukira bwino usiku womwewo, pamene kumapeto kwa tsiku la ntchito, ndinawona imelo yake ndipo ndinayamba kuwerenga Chiwonetsero cha Orion. Nthawi yomweyo ndinachita mantha kwambiri, ndipo ndinazindikira chidwi cha dzanja la Mlengi. Ngakhale sindinafune kudutsa zithunzi zonse 168^[1] nthawi imodzi, sindinathe kuyimilira kumapeto!

Pokhala ndi mbiri ya Sayansi, nthawi zonse ndakhala ndikuchita chidwi ndi Chilengedwe, ndikupeza chifukwa cholambirira m'njira yodabwitsa kwambiri, koma kuphweka kwake, kumawonekera m'mbali zonse - makamaka zamoyo. Kuyambira pamene ndinayamba kuphunzira za zigawo zazing’ono za maselo amoyo kusukulu ya sitandade, ndinali wokokedwa, ndipo pamene ndinaphunzira zambiri, m’pamenenso ndinaona chithunzithunzi cha kudziŵa zonse kwa Mulungu mu unyinji wa njira za biochemical za labyrinth ndi njira zopakidwa bwino lomwe mu selo lililonse losawoneka bwino la chamoyo chilichonse.

Pamene kuli kwakuti asayansi ambiri amayesa mopanda phindu kufotokoza mmene kucholoŵana konse ndi dongosolo la chilengedwe chonse, ponse paŵiri zamoyo ndi zopanda moyo, zinayambira ku chipwirikiti ndi zochitika mwangozi, Mkristu amapeza chifukwa choperekera chitamando ndi ulemerero kwa Mulungu kaamba ka mawu osaŵerengeka a ukulu Wake. Kuchokera pa dongosolo ndi kakonzedwe ka milalang'amba mpaka kulondola kwa ma atomiki a makina am'manja a proteinaceous, chala cha Omniscience chingawonekere.

N’chimodzimodzinso ndi mavumbulutso enieni ochokera kwa Mulungu—kuzama kwa nzeru zimene zingapeŵedwe kwa iwo, ndi ungwiro wosayembekezereka umene chidutswa chilichonse chimagwirizana nawo, zimavumbula Gwero lawo lamphamvu. Baibulo siliri mpambo chabe wa malingaliro aumunthu, koma la mavumbulutso ochokera kwa Mulungu, operekedwa kupyolera mwa mabungwe aumunthu. M’zinthu zozama kwambiri za munthu, pali malire ozama a chidziwitso chotengedwa chimene chingapezeke pasanawonekere zolakwa zambiri ndi zosemphana, koma kuzama kwa kuphunzira kwa vumbulutso la Mulungu, kaya lachirengedwe kapena lolembedwa, palibe malire.

Pamene mabwenzi olemekezeka anandiuza kuti vumbulutso lochokera ku Orion linali chotulukapo cha malingaliro a munthu mwini, wotsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, ndipo pamene mayesero ndi zovuta zinandizinga kumbali zonse chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro changa m’chimenecho, ndinakayikira ngati angakhale olondola. Kodi ndinasokeretsedwa ndi kunyengedwa ndi chikhulupiriro changa mu uthenga uwu? Kutaya anzanga ndi kuzizira kumene ndinamva kuchokera kwa iwo sikunalidi kokondweretsa kapena kopepuka, ndipo kusiya chikhulupiriro changa kukanasintha mkhalidwewo mwamsanga. Komabe, sindingakane kuti uthenga umenewu unali ndi chala cha Mlengi. Zotsutsa zomwe ndinamva zotsutsa izo sizinali zolemetsa, ndipo sizinafotokoze momwe chinthu chozama kwambiri komanso chozama ndi nzeru ndi chidziwitso chikanachokera kwa munthu. Ndinayamba kukhulupirira kuti zamoyo zinachita kusintha kuchokera ku zinthu zina.

Vumbulutso la Atate

Monga momwe Mulungu wagwirira ntchito padziko lapansi m'mbiri yonse, njira Yake yoyambira yakhala kulamula anthu odzipereka kuti akwaniritse zolinga zake molingana ndi malangizo ake komanso chitsogozo cha Mzimu Woyera. Ngakhale Malamulo Khumi, amene Mulungu analemba ndi chala chake, analembedwa m’miyala imene Mose anawasema m’phiri.^[2] Ntchito ya Mulungu imakwaniritsidwa pamene Mzimu Woyera umayenda pa anthu kulemba, kulankhula, kapena kuchita mogwirizana ndi chifuniro chake. Mwa njira iyi, chida chaumunthu chololera chimagwira ntchito mogwirizana ndi umulungu, ndipo polamulidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, mgwirizano wake waumulungu ndi nzeru zimasungidwa, ngakhale zimabwera kupyolera mu malingaliro ndi manja aumunthu otsika kwambiri.

Pali chifukwa chimene Mulungu amasankhira amithenga enaake, ndipo John Scotram nayenso, ngakhale kuti uthengawo umaperekedwa kudzera mu kuphunzira ndi khama lake, timazindikira kukhudzika kwa Mzimu Woyera mmenemo, ndipo timamvetsetsa kuti ukuchokera kumwamba. Ngakhale M’bale John iyemwiniyo amazizwa ndi mantha nthaŵi zina ndi kuya kwa mavumbulutso amene Mulungu wapereka kagulu kameneka kupyolera mwa iye m’zaka zisanu ndi ziŵiri zapitazi. Palibe funso m’malingaliro athu aliwonse kumene kuwalako kumachokera. Ndiko kuunika kwaumulungu kochokera kumwamba, ndipo timatamanda Mulungu ndi kumpatsa ulemerero kaamba ka iko, pakuti Iye yekha ndiye angalembe chigwirizano changwiro choterocho ndi Malemba.

Chimodzi mwa mavumbulutso ozama kwambiri ndi mutu ndi mutu wa nkhaniyi. Ndi chinthu chapadera kwambiri, chimene tinachilandira panthaŵi yapadera. Inali nthawi yomwe mutu waposachedwa wamaphunziro unali chisindikizo cha Philadelphia, ndipo ikufotokoza gawo lofunikira la chisindikizocho: “Ndidzalemba pa iye dzina la Mulungu wanga.^[3] Pachifukwa ichi, sitinafune kugawana nawo momasuka nthawi yosindikiza isanathe, koma tidaphunzira mwachinsinsi ndi anthu payekhapayekha pomwe Mzimu Woyera umakonzekeretsa malingaliro awo kuti achilandire. Ena anafika pakumvetsetsana ndi chisonkhezero chochepa, pamene ena anafuna zambiri, ndipo ena sanathe kumvetsetsa, kupereka zochulukirapo kuposa kuwombera mumdima poyankha zoyesayesa zathu zonse zowatsogolera. Zoonadi, chidziwitso pachokha sichimene chimasindikiza munthu, koma Mzimu Woyera. Komabe, mwa kuphunzira patokha, tinatha kuona bwino lomwe amene Mzimu unawakonzekeretsa kukhala pakati pa 144,000.

Kuyambira pa chiyambi cha kutulukira koloko ya Mulungu mu Orion, utumiki umenewu wakhala pafupifupi nthawi. M'nkhani zathu, nthawi inali mutu wodziwika kwambiri. Koma silinafike mpaka pa Sabata, January 12, 2013, pa Phwando la Kuunika (Hanukkah)^[4] kuti vumbulutso limene lili mutu wa nkhani ino, linaperekedwa poyamba. Zinafika patatha mlungu umodzi pambuyo pa kutulukira kwina kwapadera kokhudza nthawi: “Kulakwitsa kwa Miller,” zomwe zikunena za kulakwa kwa chaka chimodzi komwe kunavumbula kuti Yesu sadzabweranso pa October 24, 2015, monga mmene tinkakhulupirira mpaka nthawi imeneyo, koma patapita chaka chimodzi.

Kodi nchifukwa ninji Mulungu akanapereka kuunika konseku ponena za nthaŵi? Nthawi ndi phunziro lomwe silimaphunziridwa nthawi zambiri m'magulu achikhristu, ngakhale machenjezo a m'Baibulo oletsa kusadziwa nthawi yochezeredwa.^[5] Mwina chifukwa ndi zokopa kwambiri kapena zowopsa, anthu ambiri amakana kukhulupirira kuti Atate adzaulula chinsinsi cha nthawi, ngakhale kuti amadziwika kuti ndi wovumbulutsa zinsinsi.^[6] ndipo ngakhale ananena kuti Iye samachita kanthu popanda poyamba kuulula chinsinsi!^[7] Chinsinsi chimene Mulungu anaulula, ndi chakuti Mulungu si chikondi chabe, monga chodziwika bwino ndi kulandiridwa mosavuta, koma Iyenso ndi nthawi! Sikuti Iye yekha amadziwa nthawi; He is nthawi, munthu!

Izi ziyenera kupereka chifukwa chosinkhasinkha, ndipo mudzawona mmene Baibulo limachitira zimenezi! M'nkhani yotsala ya nkhaniyi, tiona tanthauzo la mutu wochititsa chidwiwu. Ndizotsimikizika kukupatsani malingaliro atsopano pakuchita kwa Mulungu ndi munthu.

Kasupe wa Madzi a Moyo

O Yehova, chiyembekezo cha Israyeli, onse akusiya iwe adzachita manyazi, ndipo iwo akusiya Ine adzalembedwa m'dziko, chifukwa iwo anasiya Yehova, kasupe wa madzi amoyo. ( Yeremiya 17:13 )

Madzi ndi chinthu chofunika kwambiri pa moyo. Chamoyo chilichonse chimadalira madzi, choncho n’koyenera kuti Mulungu wathu adzifotokoze yekha kuti ndi Kasupe wa madzi amoyo. Iye ndiye Gwero ndi Mchiriki wa moyo, ndipo moyo umenewo umaperekedwa kwaulere kwa zolengedwa Zake zonse. Pakuti mtundu wakugwa, umene unadulidwa ku Kasupe ameneyo mwa uchimo, Yesu Khristu, pokhala nawo Kasupe yemweyo wa moyo mwa Iye yekha, anadzipereka yekha kuti madzi oyenda nthawi zonse a moyo ochokera kwa Atate, aperekedwe kwa ife ndi chiombolo ku uchimo.

Koma tsopano popeza munamasulidwa ku uchimo, ndi kukhala akapolo a Mulungu, muli nacho chobala chanu chakufikira chiyeretso, ndi matsiriziro a moyo wosatha. Pakuti mphotho yake ya uchimo ndi imfa; koma mphatso yaulere ya Mulungu ndiyo moyo wosatha wa mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu. ( Aroma 6:22-23 )

Moyo wonse umachokera kwa Mulungu. Ngakhale oyipa amakhala ndi moyo kuchokera kwa Iye, ngakhale sanalandire mphatso ya Wosatha moyo kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. Adzaukitsidwa kwa akufa ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu, monganso olungama, koma sadzakhala ndi moyo kwa nthawi yaitali, chifukwa kugwirizana ndi mtengo wa moyo, umene ukuyenda mu kasupe wa madzi amoyo, unakhazikitsidwa mwa Yesu Khristu Ambuye wathu. Palibe munthu wina amene angapatse moyo wosatha! Iye yekha amene ali m’modzi ndi Atate ndiye angapereke mphatso ya moyo wosatha.

Komabe, madzi si chinthu chokhacho chimene chimafunika pa moyo. M'malo mwake, zimayimira chinthu china chofunikira kwambiri kukhalapo: nthawi. Ma atomu omwewo amene tinapangidwa kuchokerako, akuyenda mosalekeza ndipo sangayimitsidwe. Chidutswa chilichonse cha zinthu chomwe chilipo nthawi zonse chimakhala ndi mphamvu yocheperako yomwe sizingatheke kuchotsa.^[8] Motero, kukhalapo pakokha kumatanthauza kusuntha, ndipo kuyenda ndiko kusintha kwa malo nthawi. Palibe chomwe chingakhalepo popanda kuyenda, ndipo kuyenda sikungakhalepo popanda nthawi.

Ndipo anandionetsa mtsinje wangwiro wa madzi a moyo, wonyezimira ngati krustalo, wotuluka ku mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwanawankhosa. Pakati pa khwalala lake, ndi mbali zonse za mtsinjewo, panali mtengo wa moyo, wakubala zipatso khumi ndi ziwiri, ndi kupatsa zipatso zake mwezi ndi mwezi: ndi masamba a mtengowo anali akuchiritsa amitundu. ( Chibvumbulutso 22:1-2 )

Mofanana ndi madzi a mumtsinje wa moyo, nthawi imapita ku mbali imodzi yokha, ndipo monga mmene madzi amayambira ku mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu, nthawi imayenderanso. Mtengo wa moyo umadyetsedwa ndi mtsinje umenewo, popeza Chilengedwe chonse chimadalira nthawi, ndipo moyo wonse umadalira Mzimu wa Mulungu. Chilengedwe cha Mulungu sichokongola chabe, koma ndi malangizo. Pali cholinga ndi tanthauzo pa chilichonse chimene Mulungu amachita. Chifukwa chiyani Mulungu anasankha kugwiritsa ntchito a mtengo za moyo? Pali tanthauzo lakuya, ndipo tayamba kale kuyandikira kuti timvetsetse! Mtengo wa moyo, ngakhale uli ndi zophiphiritsa zambiri monga momwe zafotokozedwera mu Chivumbulutso, unali mtengo weniweni umene unabzalidwa m’munda wa Edeni, mmene Mulungu analankhulirana ndi Adamu ndi Hava asanachimwe. Mu Chinsinsi cha Ezekieli, tinapereka chithunzi chophiphiritsira cha mtsinje umene umachokera ku Edene ndipo unakhala mitu inayi. Pamenepo kukulongosoledwa mmene iwo akuimira nyengo zinayi za nthaŵi pamene madzi amoyo a Mzimu wa Mulungu anaperekedwa kwa magulu anayi osiyanasiyana a anthu amene Mulungu anawasankha, kuti awawalitse iwo padziko lonse lapansi.

Ndi chidziŵitso chakuti Mulungu ndiye nthaŵi, njira yatsegulidwa kuti izindikiritse chiphiphiritso cha mtengo ndi mtsinje wa moyo monga momwe chasonyezedwera m’Chibvumbulutso. Chochitikacho chikutsegulidwa ndi mtsinje wokongola wa moyo wochokera ku mpando wachifumu.

Zikutikumbutsa za mtsinje umene mneneri Ezekieli anaona ukuyenda kuchokera m’kachisi m’masomphenya ake. M’masomphenya a Ezekieli, pali mfundo zinanso zimene zikusonyeza kuti mtsinjewu unkachitika. Tiyeni tikambirane kaye kufotokoza kwake za zotsatira zake:

Ndipo kudzali, kuti zamoyo zonse zoyenda, kulikonse kumene mitsinje ifika, zidzakhala ndi moyo: zikhale nsomba zambirimbiri, chifukwa madzi awa adzafika komweko: pakuti adzachiritsidwa; ndipo zonse zidzakhala ndi moyo kumene mtsinje ufika. ( Ezekieli 47:9 )

Choyamba, tikuona kuti mtsinjewo ndi mtsinje wa moyo, chifukwa chilichonse chimene umakhudza chimachiritsidwa ndipo chimakhala ndi moyo, mofanana ndi khamu la anthu amene abwera kwa Yesu kwa zaka zambiri. Komabe, Ezekieli akusonyezedwa mbali ina ya mtsinje wa moyo umenewu. Atengedwa mikono 1000, kenako 2000, kenako 3000, ndipo pomalizira pake mikono 4000, ndipo pamalo alionse, madzi a mumtsinjewo akuya. Imakwera kuchokera pa akakolo ake pa mikono 1000, mpaka m’mawondo ake, ndiye chotayira chake, mpaka pa mikono 4000, ndi yotalika kwambiri kuti asawoloke ndi mapazi, koma anayenera kusambira kuwoloka.^[9] Mtunda wochokera ku kachisi ukuimira nthawi yomwe idapita kuchokera ku uchimo woyamba mpaka mtsinje wochiritsa utatha, pamene Yesu adzakhala padziko lapansi ndikupereka moyo wake kuchiritsa dziko lapansi. Tinafotokozera mkati Mu Mthunzi wa Nthawi, momwe zinaliridi, ndendende zaka 4000 kuchokera ku tchimo loyamba mpaka imfa ya Mpulumutsi. ( Ezekieli anakhala ndi moyo ndi kufa m’zaka za chikwi chachinayi pambuyo pa Kugwa, n’chifukwa chake sanathe kuwoloka pa mikono 4000, chiyambi cha zaka chikwi chachisanu.

Chotero, tikuona kuti mtsinje wa moyo umaimira moyo kupyolera m’mwazi wa Yesu, umene unatuluka kuchokera ku nsembe zoyamba zimene Adamu ndi Hava anavala kufikira pamene utumiki wansembe unatha ndi mphatso ya mwazi wake weniweniwo. Komabe kuwonjezera apo, zikuyimira kuyenda kwa nthawi, kunyamula nsembe yake ku mibadwo yonse ndikuphimba unyinji wa machimo!

Kubadwa kwa Yesu monga munthu kumasonyeza kuti amakumana ndi nthawi monga ifeyo. Chidziwitso chake cha mtsogolo chimachokera kwa Atate Ake. Ndi Atate yekha, amene Yesu ali ngati a “nkhosa yophedwa kuyambira pa maziko a dziko. "^[10] Tidzakambitsilana mbali imeneyi pambuyo pake, koma tingaone kuti mtsinje wa moyo umaimira Atate.

Chilengedwe Mwachidule

Kubwereranso ku chithunzi cha mtengo wa moyo, chochitikacho chikatsegulidwa ndi chithunzi cha Atate mumtsinje wa moyo woyenderera kuchokera ku mpando wachifumu, mtengo womwewo umawonekera:

Pakati pa khwalala lake, ndi mbali zonse za mtsinjewo, panali mtengo wa moyo, wakubala zipatso khumi ndi ziwiri, ndi kupatsa zipatso zake mwezi ndi mwezi: ndi masamba a mtengowo anali akuchiritsa amitundu. ( Chivumbulutso 22:2 )

Ndi mizu yake mu mtsinje wa Time, mitengo iwiri ikuluikulu imakula mmwamba. Izi zikuyimira kusintha, ndipo zikutikumbutsa mawu a Yesu kwa Afarisi odzikuza ponena za ubale wake ndi Atate:

Yesu anati kwa iwo, Mulungu akadakhala Atate wanu, mukadakonda Ine; Ndinatuluka ndipo ndinachokera kwa Mulungu; kapena sindinadza mwa Ine ndekha, koma Iyeyu anandituma Ine. ( Yohane 8:42 )

Mawu achigiriki amene anawamasulira kuti “kutuluka” amatanthauza “kutulutsa” kapena kutuluka. M’chiganizo chomwecho, Yesu ananenanso za kutumizidwa ku dziko lapansi, koma izi n’zosiyana ndi “kutuluka” kwa Mulungu! Iye amalankhula za nthawi imene mizu yake inakula kuchoka mu Nthawi. Timakambirana mfundoyi mwatsatanetsatane mu Zowonjezera C za Kuitana Kwathu Kwapamwamba.

M’chifaniziro cha mtengo wa moyo, pamene tikukweza maso athu kuchokera mumtsinje woyenda, tikuona kufotokoza kwa Umulungu. Atate ndiye mtsinje wa nthawi ndi moyo, umene madzi ake amatengedwa kupita ku thunthu la mtengo, amenenso akuimira Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera. Uthenga wa Mngelo wachinayi ndi woonekeratu kuti pali mamembala atatu a Umulungu, osati awiri okha. Pali zigawo zitatu zothandizira pamtengo wa moyo ndipo pali nyenyezi zitatu zamalamba ku Orion zomwe zikuyimira mpando wachifumu. Mulungu amapereka zizindikiro zimenezi kuti atiphunzitse pa nkhani zimenezi, choncho n’kosafunika kuti tizikangana nazo. Mlengi walankhula kale, ndipo yankho lake ndi lomaliza.

Pamene tikupitiriza kutsata mtengowo m’mwamba, tikuona zitatu izi (madzi ndi tsinde ziŵiri zoukokera m’mwamba) zikuphatikizana pamodzi kukhala umodzi, pakuti ndi mtengo umodzi. Izi zikuyimira mgwirizano wawo wa cholinga. Pali chinachake chimene iwo analinganiza pamodzi kuchita, ndipo ngati tikufuna kudziwa chimene icho chiri, ife tingopitiriza kutsatira mtengowo mmwamba.

Nthambi, masamba, ndi zipatso za mtengo zimachirikizidwa ndi tsinde lake. Momwemonso Wopatsa Moyo achirikiza iwo amene alandira moyo m’dzanja Lake. Zimenezi zikuphatikizapo chilengedwe chonse. Mtengo ndi chithunzi choyenerera cha chilengedwe champhamvu ndi chomakula. Mukayang’ana pansi pa mtengo, mukuona unyinji wozungulira wa masamba amene amafutukuka kunja pamene mtengowo ukukula, tsamba lililonse likulandira madzi otungidwiramo. Mofananamo, mbali iriyonse ya chilengedwe chonse imadalira pa kupita kwa nthaŵi imene imagwirizanitsa icho ndi Mlengi. Onse pamodzi, mamembala atatu a Umulungu amapereka nthawi, moyo, ndi chakudya ku chilengedwe.

Pachiyambi panali Mawu, ndipo Mawu anali ndi Mulungu, ndipo Mawu anali Mulungu. Ameneyo anali pachiyambi ndi Mulungu. Zinthu zonse zinalengedwa ndi Iye; ndipo kopanda iye sikunalengedwa kanthu kali konse kolengedwa. Mwa iye munali moyo; ndipo moyowo unali kuunika kwa anthu. ( Yohane 1:1-4 )

Mtengo wa moyo ndiwo mtengo umodzi, ndi Atate “Analenga zinthu zonse mwa Yesu Khristu.”^[11]

O Yehova, ntchito zanu zichulukadi! Munazipanga zonse mwanzeru; dziko lapansi ladzaza chuma chanu. Momwemonso nyanja iyi yaikuru ndi yotakata, m'menemo muli zokwawa zosawerengeka, zazing'ono ndi zazikulu; ... Mukatumiza mzimu wanu, zilengedwa; ndipo mukonzanso nkhope ya dziko lapansi. (Ŵelengani Salimo 104:24-25,30, XNUMX.)

Posachedwapa zapezedwa kuti chilengedwe chooneka chili ndi milalang’amba yoposa thililiyoni—yoŵirikiza kakhumi kuposa imene inadziŵika kale!^[12] Awa ndiwo “nthambi” zosiyanasiyana za chilengedwe chonse, zoimiridwa ndi nthambi za mtengo wamoyo. Panthambi iliyonse ya mtengowo pali masamba osaŵerengeka—mbali ya mtengo umene mwa photosynthesis, umasintha kuwala kukhala shuga, amene potsirizira pake amapereka mphamvu kwa selo lirilonse la mtengowo, kotero kuti ukhoza kutulutsa maluwa ake, zipatso, ndi njere zake. Zimenezi n’zofanana ndi nyenyezi, zomwe zili mabiliyoni ambiri mkati mwa mlalang’amba uliwonse. Amatulutsa mphamvu zambirimbiri kuti zipereke kutentha ndi kuunika kwa zinthu zamoyo papulaneti lina lomwe kuli anthu lomwe lingathe kufikako.

Moyo pa mapulaneti oterowo ukuimiridwa ndi chipatso cha mtengowo. Chipatso ndi chimene chimapatsa kukoma ndi chisangalalo. Ndilo phindu la ndalama zomwe wosamalira amawononga pamtengo. Mulungu ndi Wosamalira chilengedwe chonse, ndipo okhalamo ndi zipatso zokoma pamtengo Wake.

Numeri ya Mulungu

Ndipo ndi fanizo ili, tikumvetsa chifukwa nambala ya 1 imaimira kukwanira. Pali mbali zisanu ndi ziwiri zofunika pa mtengo wathunthu wa moyo ndipo chifukwa chake, chilengedwe chonse. Ziŵalo zitatu za Umulungu zikuimiridwa ndi madzi (2) ndi mitengo iŵiri (3, 4), ndi uphungu Wake pamodzi wa kulenga chilengedwe chonse, mwa kulumikiza mitengo ikuluikulu (5). Kenako chilengedwe chonse cholengedwa—ndi milalang’amba yake, milalang’amba yake, magulu a nyenyezi, ndi mapulaneti okhala anthu—chikuimiridwa ndi nthambi (6), masamba (7), ndi zipatso (XNUMX).

Ndizosangalatsa kuzindikira kuti gawo lachinayi la mtengowo ndi bungwe laumulungu, pamene Umulungu unaganiza zolenga. Ndi pamene Mlengi amakumana ndi zolengedwa. Ngati mumalankhula za umulungu mosiyana ndi Chilengedwe, ndiye kuti pali zigawo zitatu zoyenera za mtengowo. Motero, Mulungu pampando wake wachifumu akuimiridwa ndi nambala yachitatu.

Poganizira za ubale wa Mulungu ndi chilengedwe chake, tikuphatikiza gawo lachinayi: Uphungu wawo pamodzi. Mgwirizano wawo wa cholinga sunali kungolenga, koma ndi Nthawi mu bungweli, idaphatikizapo zonse zomwe zidzachitike. Mu mgonero umenewo, Mulungu anafotokoza za nsembe imene Chilengedwe chidzatenge kuchokera ku Chikondi. Cholinga cholenga anthu anzeru okhala ndi ufulu wosankha, chinatanthauza kuvomereza zotsatirapo, pamene munthu asankha njira yakeyake. Chotero chinali cholinga chomanga kachisi, mmene zotulukapo za uchimo zikanatha kusamaliridwa. Mu mgonero umenewo, woimiridwa ndi thunthu lophatikizidwa la mtengo wa moyo, dongosolo la chipulumutso linaikidwa.

...Akulankhula motero Yehova wa makamu, ndi kuti, Taonani munthu amene dzina lake ndi NTHAMBO; ndipo iye adzakula m’malo mwake, nadzamanga kachisi wa Yehova Yehova: Ngakhale iye adzamanga kachisi wa Yehova Yehova; ndipo iye adzasenza ulemerero, nadzakhala ndi kulamulira pa mpando wachifumu wake; ndipo adzakhala wansembe pa mpando wake wachifumu; ndipo uphungu wa mtendere ukhale pakati pa iwo awiri. (Werengani Zekariya 6:12-13.)

Cholongosoledwa m’ndime iyi ndi zotsatira za kukwaniritsidwa kwa uphungu wa mtendere, ponena za Yesu (Nthambi), amene adzamanga kachisi wa Mulungu. Dongosolo linali litayikidwa Chilengedwe chisanachitike, koma mpaka uchimo, panalibe chifukwa chake.^[13] Ndipo kufikira pamtanda, sichikanatha kumveka bwino ndi zolengedwa zolengedwa. Koma kwa Nthawi, zonse zidamveka mu uphungu wamtendere umenewo.

Izi ndi zomwe zolengedwa zidazingilira m'malingaliro a Mulungu. Chilengedwe sichingakhale popanda Mulungu, monga momwe nthambi, masamba, ndi zipatso sizingakhalepo popanda thunthu lozipatsa moyo! Koma uchimo umadziwononga wokha, choncho uchimo uyenera kuchotsedwa m’chilengedwe chonse kuti utetezeke. Dongosolo la chipulumutso ndilo mfungulo, motero, kupitiriza kukhalapo kwa chilengedwe chonse. Chotero, ngati tinena za Chilengedwe, sitiyenera kuphatikizira osati nthambi, masamba, ndi zipatso zokha, komanso uphungu wa mtendere umene ungachirikize kukhalapo kwake. Timapeza ndiye kuti nambala yachinayi ikuyimira Chirengedwe.

M’dzikoli muli chotchinga pakati pa ife ndi Mulungu. Dongosolo la chipulumutso ndilo cholumikizira, ndipo pamene dongosololo likwaniritsidwa mokwanira, Mulungu ndi Chilengedwe adzayima monga umodzi wonse. Ndi nambala yanji, ndiye, yomwe ingaimire zimenezo mgwirizano? Iyenera kukhala nambala yachisanu ndi chiwiri, chifukwa mbali zonse zisanu ndi ziwiri ziyenera kuphatikizidwa mu mtengo wathunthu. Zisanu ndi ziwiri zikuimira chilengedwe chonse; Mulungu ndi Chilengedwe (3+4), koma opanda uchimo.

Kuyang'ana makamaka pa chigawo chapakati chimenecho: umodzi wa Umulungu mu uphungu wa mtendere, tikuona mtanda wa Khristu. N'zosadabwitsa kuti tiyenera kupezanso mtanda pakati. Ndithudi, monga momwe ukuimiridwa pano, mtanda uli pakati pa chilengedwe chonse. Ndi ntchito ya Mulungu pakubwezeretsa munthu ku uchimo. Kuchita kwa umulungu ndiko adagawidwa pa Chilengedwe chonse. Choncho, n’zomveka kuti zochitazo zikuimiridwa ndi kuchulukitsa, monga mmene tinaonera kuti mgwirizano ukuimiridwa ndi kuwonjezera. Chotero, kuchulukitsa kwa umulungu (3) pa Chilengedwe (4) kumaimira pangano la Mulungu ndi munthu kuti amubwezeretse ku uchimo. Nambala khumi ndi iŵiri ikuimira pangano lobwezeretsa chilengedwe ku mkhalidwe wopanda uchimo. Lingaliro ili limayankhulidwanso mu Chiwonetsero cha Orion.^[14]

Chisindikizo cha Chikondi cha Ubale

Popeza kuti Mulungu ndiye nthawi, tinayamba kuona ndime zosiyanasiyana za m’Baibulo m’njira yatsopano. Chimodzi mwazokha chinali chisindikizo cha Philadelphia. Mu kalata ya Yesu kwa mpingo uwu, Iye anati,

Iye amene alakika ndidzamuyesa mzati mu kachisi wa Mulungu wanga, ndipo sadzatulukanso: ndipo ndidzalemba pa iye. dzina la Mulungu wanga, ndi dzina la mzinda wa Mulungu wanga, amene ali Yerusalemu watsopano, amene atsika kumwamba kwa Mulungu wanga: ndipo ndidzalemba pa iye dzina langa latsopano. (Chivumbulutso 3: 12)

M’ndime iyi, zinthu zitatu zalembedwa pa (pamphumi) za Afiladelfia ogonjetsa, zimene zimapanga chisindikizo. Choyamba, timamvetsetsa kuti "dzina" limatanthauza khalidwe kapena chikhalidwe cha dzina lake. Choncho likamanena kuti “dzina la Mulungu wanga,” silimangotanthauza zilembo zinayi zoimira dzina la Mulungu^[15] kapena china chofanana, koma kwa chikhalidwe kapena chikhalidwe cha Mulungu. Ndiye n’zoonekeratu kuti, malinga ndi vumbulutso limeneli, dzina la Mulungu m’nkhani ya Orion ndi Nthawi. Tiona kwakanthawi chomwe izi zikutsogolera, koma choyamba, tiyeni tiwone mbali zina za chisindikizocho.

Mbale John analankhula kale zimenezi motalika m’nkhani yake yomaliza, Ola la Choonadi, pamene anafotokoza mbali zina za Mzinda Wopatulika, kusonyeza makhalidwe ake monga malo oyendamo onyamula anthu kuchoka ku pulaneti lina kupita ku lina. Dzina latsopano la Yesu liyenera kukhala lomveka bwino kwa aliyense wodziŵa bwino mfundo zoyambira za uthenga wa Orion! Alnitak ndi nyenyezi ya Orion yoimira Yesu, choncho ndi dzina lomwe limafotokoza udindo Wake watsopano monga pakati pa Orion Clock.

Chisindikizo cha Filadelfia (kutanthauza “chikondi cha pa abale”), chili chonse cha Nthawi. Ndi za kusunga korona wa nthawi^[16] mwa kupitiriza kukhala ndi moyo wopambana mpaka Yesu adzabweranso. Nthawi imeneyo, pamene Atate adzatsika ndi Alnitak ndi Mzinda Woyera, adatchulidwa ndi Orion Clock. Ife anamvetsa nthawi, ndipo ngakhale analemba tsiku pa mphumi athu Facebook mbiri zithunzi monga chizindikiro cha chikhulupiriro chathu, kumvetsa kuti chisindikizo zokhudzana ndi nthawi yeniyeni: nthawi ya kubweranso kwa Yesu.

16. Ngakhale onyoza anganene, Ndithu, idali nthawi imene Iye akadabwerera. Mawotchiwo sanali olakwika. Pali umboni wochuluka wotsimikizira kulondola kwawo. Koma wina samasindikizidwa moona ndi Mzimu Woyera mu mpingo wa chikondi chaubale pokhapokha atayesedwa ndipo zimasonyezedwa kuti amachita, kwenikweni, amasonyeza chikondi chopereka nsembe kwa abale awo-ndipo ndi "abale," ndikutchula anthu onse, osati mabwenzi athu ndi mabanja okha! Ndipo moona mwa nzeru za Mulungu, Iye anakonza mayesowo mu chisindikizocho, monga momwe mudzaonera.

Tinkadziwa nthawiyo ndipo tinali osangalala kwambiri ndi chiyembekezo chodzaona chiyembekezo chodalitsika, koma panali chisoni chimene chinafooketsa chimwemwe chathu chakuti Yesu akubwera. Panali ochepa kwambiri amene anakhulupirira! Inemwini, ndikaganizira za anthu amene ankaoneka ngati anali ndi mtima woona ndi wodzichepetsa, amene ankayembekezera mwachidwi mkwatulo, ndinkadabwa kuti n’chifukwa chiyani anayenera kukhumudwitsidwa, pamene ndinavomerezedwa, pakuti sindinali bwino kuposa iwowo!

Komabe, sindikanatha kuthawa umboni wosonyeza kuti uthenga umenewu unali liwu lokha la uthenga wabwino woona, ndipo palibe amene akanakhala ndi moyo mpaka mapeto popanda iwo, chifukwa ndi uthenga wapadera wofunika kuti m’badwo wotsiriza uimirire Yesu atasiya kupembedzera kwake kuti abwere. Tinazindikira chizindikiro chakuti Mulungu watipatsa pangano losatha, monga momwe M’bale Yohane adzalongosolera m’nkhani yotsatira ya mpambo uno, ndipo zonse zinakwaniritsidwa, osati mmene tinali kuyembekezera. Komabe, ngakhale kuti kukwaniritsidwa kwake kunali kophiphiritsa, kunali koonekeratu kuti sitingathe kulakwitsa.

Chiyeso chinafika pamene tinamvetsetsa kufunika kwa nkhani ya utumiki wa Yakobo kwa Labani kwa ana ake aakazi aŵiri, Leya ndi Rakele. Mbale Robert adzagaŵana zambiri ponena za phunzirolo m’nkhani yake, koma nkokwanira kunena pano kuti tinazindikira kuti tifunikira kutumikira “zaka zisanu ndi ziŵiri” zina padziko lapansi, kupereka nthaŵi kaamba ka awo amene tinayembekezera kuti akadzafika m’zaka zisanu ndi ziŵiri zoyambirira, koma amene sanabwere! Kodi tingakhale ofunitsitsa kuchita zimenezo pamlingo waukulu wa chiyembekezo chathu ndi kuyembekezera kubweranso kwa Kristu, kumene kunali kudzachitika m’masiku oŵerengeka chabe?

Tinapatsidwa chosankha: Kodi tikanasankha kukhutiritsa chikhumbo chathu champhamvu cha kuchitidwa ndi matupi athu odwala ndi dziko lamdimali tsopano, tikumasiya okhalamo opanda chiyembekezo kwa “zaka zisanu ndi ziŵiri” za miliri ndi mikhalidwe yomvetsa chisoni, kukhala okhutitsidwa ndi oŵerengeka amene anakhulupirira, amene tinali nawo chomangira cha umodzi? Kapena kodi tingapachike chikhumbo chachikulu ndi chiyembekezo cha thupi lathu, ndi kugonjera zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri zazitali, monga tinakhulupirira, za utumiki wochuluka, podziwa kuti idzakhala nthawi ya chizunzo ndi chisautso chachikulu? Komabe, m’nkhani imeneyi, kukakhala panthaŵi imene maulosiwo akakwaniritsidwadi m’njira yowonekera mosavuta ndi yeniyeni, kotero kuti ambiri akazindikira ndi kufunafuna chowonadi.

Chosankha chimene chinafunikira chinali choonekeratu: sikungakhale koyenera kusankha mogwirizana ndi zilakolako zathu zadyera. Kotero, zokhumudwitsa monga zinaliri kwa thupi lathu, chiyembekezo chathu chinakonzedwanso kuti chimene chinali chowonadi chokhumba chachikulu cha mitima yathu zikanatha kukwaniritsidwabe: kuti iwo amene sanakane nthaŵiyo, akazindikira kukongola kwa Ambuye wathu mu Orion, ndi kuyanjana nafe m’kupereka umboni wansembe wa chikondi chawo ndi kudzipereka kwawo kwa Iye.

Chisindikizo cha Filadelfeya sichimangonena za nthawi ya kubweranso kwa Yesu, koma chayandikira Mulungu, yemwe ali Nthawi! Ndipo ngati Mulungu ali Nthawi, ndiye kuti Iye akhoza kuchita ndi nthawi, chimene Iye akufuna! M’Baibulo muli zitsanzo za mmene Mulungu anawonongera nthawiyo, monga momwe mukudziwira. (Tsiku lofupikitsidwa la Hezekiya^[17] ndi tsiku lachiwiri la Yoswa^[18] ndi ziŵiri zimene zimabwera msanga m’maganizo.) Ndi chidindo cha Nthawi pamphumi panu, zotheka zotseguka, ndipo pamene palibe nthaŵi yokwanira yochitira ntchitoyo, pamenepo tikupempha Mulungu wathu, amene angatipatse chosoŵa chathu. Chikondi cha abale ndi kufunsa Time kwa nthawi yochulukirapo kwa iwo omwe akuifuna, ngakhale nsembe yomwe tiyenera kupereka munjirayi. Ichi ndi chikhalidwe cha munthu amene wasindikizidwa.

Mawotchi afika kumapeto, ndipo tikuzindikira kuti a 144,000 ayenera kuzindikira bwino lomwe ulamuliro wa Mulungu pa nkhani ya nthaŵi! Adzazindikira uthenga wanthaŵiyo kukhala chowonadi ndi kusonyeza chikondi chaubale chimene chikanalolera kutaya zikhumbo zawo mwaufulu kuti apemphe nthaŵi yochitira ena, ngati pangafunike kutero. Amakweza maso awo ndikuyang'ana kupyola pa gulu lawo laling'ono labanja, kumene zoyesayesa za ambiri omwe alibe zoona abale chikondi, zimathetsedwa kwathunthu ndi mwadyera—ndipo nthawi zambiri zimatayidwa—ngati kuti palibe mzimu wina pa dziko limene lawonongedwa kuti udziwitse za nthawiyo.

Landirani Mwaulere, Perekani Mofunitsitsa

Uthenga uwu unali uthenga wa nsembe. Uthenga Wabwino wachipulumutso umaperekedwa kwaulere, koma kodi mumauona kukhala wamtengo wapatali bwanji? Kodi 'mungagulitse' zonse zomwe muli nazo, ngakhale maubwenzi anu apamtima ngati ziyenera kutero, kuti 'mugule' munda umene Yesu, yemwe ndi Ngale yamtengo wapatali, angapezeke?^[19] Kodi mudzasankha Yesu kuposa ana anu, mkazi kapena mwamuna wanu, kapena chuma chanu chachikulu ndi chitonthozo? Ngati Iye sali wamtengo wapatali kuposa zonsezo kwa ife, ndiye kuti ali ndi mawu olimba omwe amagwira ntchito kwa ife:

Iye wakukonda atate kapena amake koposa Ine sayenera Ine; ndipo iye wakukonda mwana wamwamuna kapena wamkazi koposa Ine sayenera Ine. Ndipo iye amene satenga mtanda wake, natsata pambuyo panga, sayenera Ine. ( Mateyu 10:37-38 )

Koma dziwani kuti Yehova ndi woyenera kupereka mphatso zapadziko lapansi:

Ndipo yense wakusiya nyumba, kapena abale, kapena alongo, kapena atate, kapena amai, kapena ana, kapena minda, cifukwa ca dzina langa, adzalandira zobwezeredwa zambirimbiri, nadzalowa moyo wosatha. ( Mateyu 19:29 )

Yesu, Chitsanzo chathu chachikulu, anapereka zonse—m’moyo Wake wakuthupi ndi wamuyaya, kukhalabe m’maonekedwe aumunthu kwamuyaya.^[20] Ifenso tadutsa muzochitikira za kupereka zonse, kulonjeza kuti ngati kunali koyenera kufafaniza maina athu m’buku la moyo, kunalibe mtengo wochepa woti tilipire, kuti uthenga wabwino wangwiro, umene umaphatikizapo nthaŵi, ufikire dziko lapansi ndipo ambiri adzakhala ndi mwayi wopeza moyo wosatha mu ola lamdima ndi losokoneza lino. Ndi mphotho yokwanira kuti inu, owerenga okondedwa, tsopano muli ndi mwayi wowerenga ndi kumvetsetsa! Inu ndinu nyumba, mabanja, ndi minda imene ife timalandira kazana.

Kodi inunso mudzadzipereka zonse chifukwa cha Yesu, kunyamula mtanda wanu ndi kumutsatira Iye ku Kalvare? Moyo wanu wamuyaya udzakhala wotsimikizika, koma udzafuna kuti moyo wanu wakuthupi uperekedwe.

Pakuti yense wofuna kupulumutsa moyo wake adzautaya: koma yense wakutaya moyo wake chifukwa cha Ine, yemweyo adzaupulumutsa. ( Luka 9:24 )

Kumbukirani kuti Yesu ndiye Chitsanzo chathu. Iye anapita patsogolo pathu, ndipo amafuna kuti ife titengepo gawo pa zomwe zinamuchitikira. Mutha kuganiza za izi ngati ntchito yolumikizana. Mwachibadwa timakhala ogwirizana ndi anthu amene ali ndi chokumana nacho chofanana ndi chathu. Kodi tidzakhala pafupi ndi Yesu, ngati mkhalidwe wa nsembe umene unasonyeza moyo wake uli wachilendo kotheratu kwa ife? Kumbali ina, ngati tigawana kukhudzika kwake; ngati tizunzidwa monga Iye anazunzidwa; ngati tipereka miyoyo yathu monga Iye anachitira, ndiye kuti tikhoza kugwirizana kwa Iye bwinoko kudzera muzochitika zathu zogawana. Ife timamudziwa Iye, ndipo Iye amatidziwa ife. Ndi kupewa chidziwitso chokumana nacho cha mazunzo a Khristu komwe kumabweretsa chinyengo cha akhristu ambiri.

Ambiri adzati kwa ine tsiku limenelo, Ambuye, Ambuye, kodi sitinanenera mawu m’dzina lanu? ndipo m’dzina lanunso timatulutsa ziwanda? ndi m’dzina lanunso kuchita zodabwitsa zambiri? Ndipo ndidzawafotokozera iwo, Sindinakudziwanipo: chokani kwa Ine, inu akuchita kusayeruzika. ( Mateyu 7:22-23 )

Iwo amene amagwa m’gulu latsoka ili ali ndi chitonthozo chabodza. Iwo amamasuka ndi mawu ndi zochita “zachikristu,” koma samasuka ndi makhalidwe achikristu. Ndilo vuto lalikulu limene lasautsa anthu a Mulungu kuyambira pachiyambi, ndipo Mulungu walanga anthu ake, ndipo ngakhale kuwataya chifukwa cha kupanduka kosalekeza mwakunyengerera dzina labwino.

Pamene kuli kwakuti ena amapandukira poyera ndi kukana kugwirizana kwawo ndi Mulungu ndi njira Zake, ambiri akupitiriza kudzinenera kukhala ana Ake, pamene miyoyo yawo ili mu mpatuko kotheratu. Mwa kutchula dzina Lake ndi kupita ku misonkhano yachipembedzo kapena kuchita zinthu zachipembedzo, iwo amadzimva kuti iwo ndi Akristu, pamene kwenikweni, miyoyo yawo simasonyeza mkhalidwe wa Kristu, umene umapangitsa Mkristu kukhala Mkristu.

Makhalidwe a Nthawi

Pamene tikulankhula za chikhalidwe cha Mulungu, ndikofunikira kukumbukira kuti ife monga anthu opanda malire sitingayembekezere kumvetsetsa Mulungu wathu wopanda malire. Nthawi zonse pamakhala kuopsa kwa kuwonetsa malingaliro opapatiza a Iye mukuyesetsa kwathu kumufotokozera kapena kumumvetsetsa. Kwa Mulungu, amene ali ponseponse, amene amakhalapo nthawi zonse, ndipo amadziwa mapeto kuyambira pachiyambi, kusiyana pakati pa zoyambitsa ndi zotsatira kumasokonekera. Ena amakhulupirira kuti chifukwa chakuti Mulungu amadziwa zimene tidzasankhe kuyambira pachiyambi, palibe amene alidi ndi ufulu wosankha, koma kuti chilichonse chimene Mulungu watikonzera ndicho chimene tiyenera kuchita.

Sitingathe kuyang'ana m'malingaliro a Mulungu, momwe nthawi zonse zimapezeka nthawi imodzi, komabe, timangodziwa zomwe tikudziwa komanso malingaliro athu. Conco, ngakhale kuti Mulungu angadziŵe mmene tingasankhile, sitidziŵa, ndipo cidziŵitso ca Mulungu simalekeza ufulu wathu. M’malo mwake, ndi Mulungu, amene “ali ndi malire” ndi chidziŵitso Chake chopanda malire, pakuti lingaliro la kusankha liri lopanda tanthauzo ngati chidziŵitso cha nthaŵi sichinalekezedwe asanasankhepo! Ichi ndi chifukwa chake lamulo la Mulungu ndi losasinthika. Ndiko kulongosola kwa “zosankha” Zake, kapena kufotokozedwa bwino, khalidwe Lake—khalidwe la Nthawi.

Malinga ndi mmene ife tikuonera, nthawi ikuyenda ngati mtsinje, ndipo timaona zinthu zikuchitika motsatizanatsatizana, koma kuchokera mu kaonedwe ka Mulungu, amene. is mtsinje wonse, zochitika "sizichitika," koma ndi chikhalidwe. Baibulo limafotokoza zimenezi ndi mawu ngati amenewa “Mwanawankhosa wophedwa kuyambira makhazikitsidwe a dziko lapansi.”^[21] M’kaonedwe kathu, Yesu anaphedwa mu 31 AD, koma kwa Mulungu amangophedwa basi. Iye ali INE NDINE wopezeka nthawizonse. Chochitika cha kupachikidwa pa mtanda chimathandizira ku chikhalidwe chakukhala chomwe chimatanthauzira yemwe Iye ali, ndipo chikuwonetseredwa ngati chikhalidwe chofunikira.

Kuphatikizika kwa lamulo lake losasinthika ndi chikondi chake chopanda malire zikuwonekera pa mtanda wa Kalvare. M’nthaŵi yoikidwiratu imeneyo, chibadwa cha Mulungu chikanatha kuonekera bwino kwambiri kuposa china chirichonse. Ndipo pamene tiwona Ambuye wathu motere ndikuyang'ana mu mtima wa Nthawi, timayima mu mantha achete. Kumuwona Iye akulira Mwana Wake amene anali kufa, komabe akudutsa ndi kulekanitsidwa kosayerekezeka chifukwa cha chikondi Chake kwa adani Ake—onse amene anachimwa—kuti ayanjanitsidwe kwa Iyemwini!

N’chifukwa chiyani kuchita zimenezi kunali kofunikira? Kodi kuchita zimenezi kunasintha lamulo Lake, kapena kunafotokoza chikondi ndi kusasinthika m’kupita kwa nthawi? Mwachionekere, Yesu anafa chifukwa cha lamulo lophwanyidwa, chifukwa silinasinthe, chifukwa ndi chithunzi cha Mulungu, yemwe ali nthawi ndipo sasintha. Iye sanafe kuti chikhale chopanda pake, pakuti n’zosatheka! Tisamale tikamati lamulo linakhomeredwa pamtanda! Ayi, zinali choncho “cholembedwa cha maweruzo chinatsutsana nafe”^[22] amene anakhomeredwa pa mtanda, osati Malamulo Khumi, amene amatiteteza! Ngati titamvetsetsa kupatulika kwa lamulo limenelo, tingagwirizane kwambiri ndi mawu apamwamba a kupembedza kwa Mfumu Davide m’chaputala chachitali kwambiri cha Baibulo, Salmo 119 .

Ndiphunzitseni, O Yehova, njira ya malemba anu; ndipo ndidzachisunga kufikira chimaliziro. Mundizindikiritse, ndipo ndidzasunga chilamulo chanu; inde ndidzausunga ndi mtima wanga wonse. Ndiperekezeni m’njira ya malamulo anu; pakuti m’menemo ndikondwera. Limbikitsani mtima wanga ku mboni zanu, osati ku chisiriro. (ndime 33-36)

Ndakhometsa mtima wanga kuchita malemba anu nthawi zonse; ngakhale kufikira chimaliziro. (v.112)

Ndipo ndidzayenda paufulu; pakuti ndifuna malangizo anu. Ndidzanenanso za mboni zako pamaso pa mafumu, osachita manyazi. Ndipo ndidzakondwera ndi malamulo anu, amene ndinawakonda. (ndime 45-47)

Ondisautsa ndi adani anga achuluka; koma sindinapatuka pa mboni zanu. Ndinaona olakwa, ndipo ndinamva chisoni; chifukwa sanasunga mawu anu. Lingalirani momwe ndikonda malangizo anu; ndifulumizitseni, O Yehova, monga mwa chifundo chanu. Mawu anu ndi oona kuyambira pachiyambi: ndipo maweruzo anu onse olungama amakhala kosatha. (ndime 157-160)

Mitsinje yamadzi ikuyenda m'maso mwanga, chifukwa sasunga chilamulo chanu. (ndime 136)

Odzikuza andikumba ine maenje, Amene satsata cilamulo canu. Malamulo anu onse ali okhulupirika; ndithandizeni inu. Iwo anali atatsala pang'ono kundithera pa dziko lapansi; koma sindinasiya malangizo anu. (ndime 85-87)

Yakwana nthawi yanu, Yehova, kugwira ntchito: kwa anapeputsa chilamulo chanu. (v.126)

Iwo amene akonda cilamulo canu ali nao mtendere waukulu, ndipo palibe cidzawakhumudwitsa. (ndime 165)

Kodi ukonda chilamulo cha Mulungu; Khalidwe lake? Kodi mumakhulupirira kuti chikhalapo mpaka mapeto, kapena mukugwirizana ndi amene amachipanga kukhala chopanda pake? Ndipo ndi lamulo liti limene liyenera kuukira? Kodi lamulo limatayidwa chifukwa limati, “Usachite chigololo”? Kapena ndi chifukwa cha zomwe zimagwirizana ndi nthawi? Kodi mukuona kumene gwero la kuukira kwa Sabata liyenera kuchokera? Mdani wa Nthawi ndi Satana, choncho n’zachibadwa kuti amaukira zinthu zonse zochokera mu Nthawi. Anapitanso patsogolo ndipo anapotoza kamvedwe kake ka Masabata Aakulu^[23] komanso, zomwe zimapanga gawo lofunikira la uthenga, kuonjezera kukana kwa anthu kulandira uthengawu.

Ndipo tsopano kodi mukuwona chifukwa chake kupanga nthawi kuli ndi mbiri yoipa chonchi? Mdierekezi watsogolera anthu osawerengeka kuti akhazikitse masiku onama popanda kulamulidwa ndi Nthawi, kuti chowonadi chizinyozedwe mwachiyanjano chabe! Ndipo kodi mukumvetsa tsopano, chifukwa chiyani gulu la Advent linayamba ndi uthenga wa nthawi ndipo likutha ndi uthenga wa nthawi? Mulungu akuulula zina za Iye mwini, ndipo mdierekezi ali wokangalika kuyesera kunyoza izo kuti aletse anthu kulandira chidziwitso chimenecho. Amakuyesani kuti mukane uthenga wa nthawi, chifukwa amadziwa kuti ndi uthenga wa Mzimu Woyera, ndipo kukana uthengawu ndi kukana Mzimu Woyera, womwe ndi tchimo losakhululukidwa.

Ndipo amene ali yense adzanenera Mwana wa munthu zoipa, adzakhululukidwa; koma amene adzanenera Mzimu Woyera zoipa sadzakhululukidwa kwa iye; kapena m’dziko lino, kapena m’dziko lirinkudza. ( Mateyu 12:32 )

Satana waukiranso chilamulo pochititsa anthu kukhulupirira kuti sichingasungidwe, ngakhale ndi chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu. Kumbali ina, amalimbikitsa ena kukhulupirira kuti atha kuusunga ngati angoyesetsa mokwanira—kuchita mwa mphamvu zawo. Awa amakhala okhulupirira zamalamulo ndipo nthawi zambiri amakhala osasangalala, ndipo amapatutsa ambiri pakufuna kusunga malamulo. Koma ndi ochepa ndithu amene amaphunzitsa kuti munthu akhale ndi kumvera mwa chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu. Komabe, m’Baibulo muli malonjezo ambiri oterowo. Chimodzi mwazokonda zanga chili kumapeto kwa Yuda:

Tsopano kwa iye ndicho chakhoza kukusungani kuti mungagwe, ndi kukuwonetsani inu opanda chilema pamaso pa ulemerero wake ndi chisangalalo chachikulu, kwa Mulungu yekha wanzeru Mpulumutsi wathu, kukhale ulemerero ndi ukulu, ulamuliro, ndi mphamvu, tsopano ndi nthawi zonse. Amene. (Werengani Yuda 1:24-25.)

Ngati mukukhulupirira izi, mutha kukumana nazo! Chilandireni kokha mwa chikhulupiriro, ndipo musayese kudziletsa kuti musagwe, kuopera kuti mungatengeke kapena kutsata malamulo! Khulupirirani izo kwa Yesu ndi kumulola Iye kukhala moyo wake mwa inu.

Maulosi Okonzedwanso

Akristu ambiri amaona kuti zosankha zawo sizingasinthe, koma kuti maulosi ndi malonjezo a Mulungu adzakwaniritsidwa mofanana, mosasamala kanthu za mmene angasankhe. Koma zoona zake n’zakuti Baibulo silisonyeza zimenezi. Zoonadi, sikovuta kupeza zitsanzo pamene Mulungu anasintha ndondomeko Zake (kulankhula kuchokera mu kaonedwe ka umunthu, ndithudi!). Iye anawauza Aisrayeli nthaŵi zambiri chifuniro Chake, koma iwo anasankha zosiyana, chotero Mulungu analola zosankha zawo zoipa, ndipo anawayankha mosiyana ndi mmene akanachitira, akanapitirizabe kukhala omvera.

Maulosi ambiri anaperekedwa kwa Aisraeli omwe sakanatha kukwaniritsidwa chifukwa cha kusakhulupirira kwawo ndi kupanduka kwawo. Maulosi amenewo kenaka anakhala ophiphiritsa a “Israyeli wauzimu” ndipo samagwira ntchito m’mbali zonse zenizeni (makamaka maina a malo akale), koma kuzindikira kwauzimu ndi kudzoza kumafunika kuti tizindikire mbali zimene zidzakwaniritsidwebe ndi m’njira yotani. M'mawu a Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary:

Maulosi okhudzana ndi ulemerero wamtsogolo wa Israeli ndi Yerusalemu anali okhudzana ndi kumvera (onani Yer. 18:7-10; PK 704). Zikadakwaniritsidwa zenizeni m’zaka mazana otsatira Aisrayeli akanakhala kuti anavomereza kotheratu zifuno za Mulungu ponena za iwo. Kulephera kwa Israyeli kunapangitsa kuti kukwaniritsidwe kwa maulosi amenewa kukhala kosatheka m’chifuno chawo choyambirira. Komabe, zimenezi sizikutanthauza kuti maulosi amenewa alibenso tanthauzo lina. Paulo akupereka yankho m’mawu awa, “Si monga ngati kuti mawu a Mulungu sapita pachabe; Pakuti onse a mwa Israyeli siali Aisraele” ( Aroma 9:6 ). Chotero, malonjezo ameneŵa ali ndi mlingo wa kugwira ntchito kwa Israyeli wauzimu. Koma mpaka pati? Izi ziyenera kusiyidwa ku kudzoza kuti mudziwe ...^[24]

Pamene Mulungu apereka ulosi, kaŵirikaŵiri umakhala mumpangidwe wa mawu akuti ngati-ndiye. Komabe, Mulungu salola mawu ake kubwerera pachabe.^[25] ngakhale mikhalidwe ya "ngati" sinakwaniritsidwe. Zikatero, ulosi woperekedwawo umakonzedwanso kaamba ka nthawi ina pamene mikhalidweyo inalipo nditero kukumana, ngakhale kuti kukhala mophiphiritsira.

Chotero, munthu ayenera kusamala poumirira kwambiri kuti ulosi woperekedwawo uyenera kukwaniritsidwa m’njira yeniyeni. Mikhalidwe ya kumvera kapena kukhulupirika kaŵirikaŵiri imatanthauzidwa, ndipo ngati zimenezi zikanasoŵekabe mwa anthu amene ulosiwo umawakhudza, ndiye kuti mfundo imeneyi ingapangitse kuti ulosiwo ukhale wosagwira ntchito kwa iwo. Osati mpaka mikhalidwe yofunikira itakwaniritsidwa, kaya mwa anthu omwewo, kapena mu gulu loimira, ulosiwo udzakwaniritsidwa kotheratu. Ngakhale kuti tingadzizindikire tokha mu ulosi, sitiyenera kunyadira zimenezo, ngati kuti Mulungu afunikira kugwira ntchito nafe. Adzagwiritsa ntchito zida zonyozeka, ndipo palibe chomwe chingalowe m'malo.

Chitsanzo pa nkhaniyi ndi Aisiraeli. Pa nthawi ina, iwo ankaona Likasa la Chipangano ngati kuti ndi ndodo yamatsenga imene idzawapambane pankhondo pamene analitenga kupita nalo kunkhondo. Koma Mulungu analola kuti ugonjetsedwe ndi adani pa kugonjetsedwa kwakukulu kwa Israyeli.^[26] M’masiku a Yeremiya, anthu ankamuimba mlandu wotsutsana ndi Yerusalemu.^[27] ngati kuti Mulungu watsekeredwa m’kuchidalitsa, mosasamala kanthu za kusamvera ndi kupanduka kwawo!

Kukula kwa Otsalira

Vuto lomwelo lapitirirabe pakati pa anthu onse amene Mulungu anawasankha kukhala mosungiramo chowonadi Chake. Choyamba, anali Ayuda. Ndiye, atakana mphatso ya Atate ya Mwana Wake, anali Akhristu. Mofanana ndi Ayuda, iwo anayamba bwino, koma posakhalitsa kulolerana ndi kulolerana kwa uchimo kunaloŵerera pamene anthu anayang’ana ku madalitso opambana amene Mulungu anawapatsa (monga momwe anachitira ndi Ayuda), ndipo anadzimva kukhala osungika, akumatenga chisomo chimenecho monga umboni wa kaimidwe kawo kopambana ndi Mulungu. Iwo anakana kukonzanso kumene Mulungu anafuna kuwabweretsa, ndipo kunatsala otsalira ochepa, amene anavomereza chimake cha kukonzanso;^[28] mphatso ya Sabata, yochokera kwa Yesu.

Koma otsalira aang’ono amenewo nawonso anakula, ndipo chiwonjezeko chinadza ndi kutsika kumene kuli kofala ku gulu lirilonse ndi gulu la anthu padziko lapansi. Kuwonjezeka kwa ziwerengero kumatanthauza kuti pali kuyang'anira kochepa kwa omwe gululo linayamba nawo, omwe ali achangu kwambiri, akugwira zosowa za gulu pafupi kwambiri ndi mtima. Kupanda kuyang'anira kumabweretsa kunyengerera ndi kuwonongeka kosapeweka. Tsopano, tikuwona kulephera kowopsa kwa mpingo wa Seventh-day Adventist Church,^[29] amene anakula kuchokera kwa otsalira ang’onoang’ono amene analandira Sabata. Koma ngakhale kupatukana mu mpingo kutachilitsidwa, kumangolimbitsa mkangano wamkati umene wavomerezedwa ngati wachibadwa. Ndiye Mulungu adzati,

Achiritsanso bala la mwana wamkazi wa anthu anga pang'ono, ndi kuti, Mtendere, mtendere; pamene palibe mtendere. ( Yeremiya 6:14 )^[30]

M’mikhalidwe yoteroyo, kudzatenga kuzindikira kwakukulu kuti tizindikire chinyengocho, pakuti machiritso a mpingo anachitika kale pamene mpingo wokhulupirika (anthu) anasiya mpatuko wa gulu la mpingo (limene siliri mpingo, kunena mwa Baibulo)! Mpatukowo umaphatikizapo kutsata kwawo malamulo osagwirizana ndi Baibulo a UN chifukwa bungweli lakhala likuwagwiritsa ntchito pofuna kusungabe misonkho (chiwopsezo cha kutayika kwa msonkho kwawapangitsa kuti azitsatira malamulowo, omwe akuphatikizapo mwayi wofanana kwa amayi ndi LGBT kuti agwire. onse maudindo a mpingo, motero amaika lamulo la munthu pamwamba pa la Mulungu). Chinyengo chagona ngati muyang'ana pa machiritso a bungwe, kapena kuchiritsidwa kwa anthu kuuchimo. Mulungu amayang’ana mu mtima, ndipo anthu ake ayeneranso kusamala kwambiri za mmene mtima ulili osati kuchita zinthu mwadongosolo m’gulu.

Koma oŵerengeka mwa iwo anamva ndi kulabadira mawu a Mulungu mu uthenga wa Orion. Komabe, m’Baibulo mulibe pamene pali gulu lina. Otsalira omalizira ameneŵa ali chizindikiro chachinayi cha mkazi wa pa Chivumbulutso 12—nyenyezi za korona wake. Iwo akuimiridwa ndi mtsinje wachinayi wotuluka mu Edeni (Firate). Ndipo zinayi ndi chiwerengero cha Chilengedwe, kotero kukanakhala koyenera kuti gulu lachinayi ndilo lomwe lidzafike ku “ngodya” zinayi za dziko lapansi ndi Uthenga wa Mngelo wachinayi.^[31] pa nthawi imene angelo anayiwo anamasulidwa ndi kulola mphepo zinayi kuwomba.^[32]

Tiyenera kufunsa tsopano, tingapewe bwanji gawo la imfa lomwe limabwera ku bungwe lililonse? Satana ndiye kalonga wa imfa, ndipo ngati mapulinsipulo ake atsatiridwa, monga momwe amachitira ndi magulu onse a padziko lapansi, ndiye kuti imfa idzatsatiradi. Koma Mulungu ndiye Kalonga wa moyo, ndipo kokha mwa ulamuliro Wake ndi kotheka kukhala ndi moyo wosatha, kaya payekha kapena monga bungwe. Zili choncho KUKHALA Mzimu Woyera amene angatipatse chosowa chathu. Iye ali ponseponse, kotero kuti akhoza kukhala ndi munthu aliyense nthawi imodzi, ndipo akhoza kuwalimbikitsa ndi changu Chake, kotero kuti palibe amene akusowa mu Mzimu wa nsembe yosanyengerera.

Choncho, tikuwona kuti pemphero ndilo kudalira kwathu kupita patsogolo. Ndi nthawi tsopano yoti Mzimu Woyera ugwire ntchito. Iye yekha ndi amene angathe kuonetsetsa kuti zinthu zikuyenda bwino. Ntchito yathu ndikuzindikira zosowa ndikupemphera moyenerera komanso mwachindunji. Izi zikugwira ntchito kwa membala aliyense wokhulupirira wa gululi!

Mpingo wa Filadelfia uchenjezedwa kuti usataye akorona awo.^[33] Izi zikutanthauza kuti avekedwa kale korona wachigonjetso. Yesu anavekedwanso korona wachigonjetso pa nthawi yosayembekezeka ya kupachikidwa kwake, ndipo monga momwe chipambano cha Yesu sichinawonekere kufikira nthawi itaperekedwa kuti iwonetsere zipatso zake, koteronso, nthawi iyenera kuperekedwa kuti chigonjetso chathu chiwonekere.

Pemphero lathu la nthawi layankhidwa, ndipo timakhulupirira kuti iwo adzawululidwa, amene akufuna kulandira Mzimu Woyera mu uthenga uwu, chifukwa amalandira chidziwitso cha nthawi moyamikira, ndipo sachita tchimo losakhululukidwa kwa Iye mwa kukana uthenga wake. Ambiri, komabe, adzakumana ndi tsoka lawo pamiliri.

Ndi tsogolo la Mpingo wopambana wa Filadelfia—otsalira amene Yehova wawaitana—kuti atsogolere ndi kutonthoza iwo amene amamdziŵa Yehova, kupyola m’nthaŵi ya chisautso chachikulu kufikira adani Ake atagonjetsedwa kotheratu. Adaniwo akuwadziwa. Pamene mgwirizano wapadziko lonse uyamba kugwira ntchito, mlembi wa bungwe la United Nations a Ban Ki-moon anatsimikizira maganizo awo, kuti: khalani mu mpikisano wotsutsana nthawi."^[34] Ananenanso za mpikisano wotsutsana ndi nthawi pomwe mgwirizano udatsegulidwa koyamba kuti asayinidwe pa Epulo 22, 2016.^[35]—deti limene linalembedwa pasadakhale pa wotchi ya mliri wa Orion;^[36] chifukwa Nthawi ikudziwa bwino amene ali wotsutsana Naye. Amuna otsogola padziko lapansi, omwe amaganiza kuti akhoza kupulumutsa dziko lapansi kudzera muzoyesayesa zawo, amadziwa kuti adzipanga motsutsana ndi Nthawi.

Kupambana m’liŵiro limenelo kwaitanidwa kale ndi Iye amene adziŵa mapeto kuyambira pachiyambi. Tsopano popeza ali ndi gulu lankhondo laling'ono, koma lokhulupirika kuti agwire nawo ntchito, adzawonetsa zomwe Mzimu Wake ungathe kuchita motsutsana ndi zovuta zonse. Gulu ili la Mzimu Woyera, lomwe linayesetsa kusunga mamembala 24 m'zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri zoyambirira, lidzapitirizabe kugwira ntchito ndi Iye ndikuwona pamene Iye akugonjetsa dziko lapansi mu "zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri" zachiwiri.

Ndipo mthenga wakulankhula ndi ine anabweranso, nandiutsa ngati munthu wodzutsidwa kutulo, nati kwa ine, Uona chiyani? Ndipo ndinati, Ndinapenya, taonani, choikapo nyali chonse cha golidi, chili ndi mbale pamwamba pake, ndi nyali zake zisanu ndi ziwiri pamenepo, ndi zitoliro zisanu ndi ziwiri za nyali zisanu ndi ziwiri zimene ziri pamwamba pake: ndi mitengo iwiri ya azitona pambali pake, wina ku dzanja lamanja la mbaleyo, ndi wina kumanzere kwake. Pamenepo ndinayankha, nanena ndi mthenga wakulankhula ndi ine, kuti, Izi nchiyani, mbuyanga? Pamenepo mthenga wakulankhula ndi ine anayankha, nati kwa ine, Sudziwa kodi zimenezi? Ndipo ndinati, Iyayi mbuyanga. Ndipo anayankha nati kwa ine, kuti, Awa ndi mau a Yehova Yehova kwa Zerubabele kuti, Osati ndi mphamvu, kapena mphamvu, koma ndi mzimu wanga, ati Yehova Yehova a makamu. Ndiwe yani, phiri lalikuru iwe? pamaso pa Zerubabele udzakhala chigwa; ndipo iye adzaturutsa mwala wa pamutu pace ndi kupfuula, Cisomo, cisomo kwa iwo. (Werengani Zekariya 4:1-7.)

Tikulowa m'nthawi yovuta komanso yovuta, koma si zisoni zonse. Ambuye akutiyendera, ndipo zinthu zazikulu ndi zodabwitsa zidzachitika. Atate wadzipereka yekha mu mawonekedwe a nthawi yowonjezera yofunikira. Mzimu Woyera adzadzipereka yekha kwa anthu chifukwa cha kukhudzika ndi changu, ndipo Yesu Alnitak Ambuye wathu wadzipereka yekha mu Orion, kulankhula nafe maso ndi maso, titero kunena kwake. Nawonso a 144,000 adzipereka okha monga zotengera kuti atumikire Mulungu monga ankhondo ankhondo Ake. Iwo ndi atetezi Ake a chowonadi kwa iwo amene adzachilandira mu dziko lakufa, mpaka ntchito Yake itatha ndipo Mafumu a Kummawa adzabwera mu maonekedwe a thupi.

Mulungu ndiye chikondi, ndipo chikondi chiyenera kugawanika kuti chikhale chokwanira. Momwemonso ndi nthawi. Mulungu ndi nthawi, ndipo nthawi iyenera kugawidwa kuti ikwaniritsidwe. Kodi Yesu adzanena kwa inu, “Sindinakudziweni konse,” chifukwa simunamulole kuti agawane nanu Nthawi? Kapena kodi mudzalandira mphatso ya Nthawi kuti mutenge nawo moyo wa nsembe ya Yesu? Pamene mukusankha, kumbukirani kuti pali mphoto yaulemerero ya nsembe yanu. Mulole Mzimu Woyera akhale nanu mpaka kumapeto.

Usaope zinthu zimene udzamva kuwawa; tawona, mdierekezi adzaponya ena a inu m’nyumba yandende, kuti mukayesedwe; ndipo mudzakhala nacho chisautso masiku khumi; khalani wokhulupirika kufikira imfa, ndi ndidzakupatsa iwe korona wa moyo. (Chivumbulutso 2: 10)

Lolani nkhani ya M'bale John ya Tsiku la Mboni bweretsani pafupi ndi mtima wanu, zenizeni ndi tanthauzo la zomwe takumana nazo ndi Nthawi.
