Xa isigidimi seOrion sapapashwa okokuqala ngowama-2010, yintoni eyayisenzeka yayiza kuba yimpendulo yowona mbuzo ubalulekileyo wobukho boluntu: ixesha elingakanani? Ukusuka kubantu abangakholelwa kuThixo ukuya kwingcwele, wonke umntu uyabuza lo mbuzo. Kudla ngokuba ngumbuzo wexesha elingakanani de abantu bangasakwazi ukuphila kule planethi. KumaKristu, ngumbuzo wokuba uya kubuya nini na uMvelingqangi omkhulu wegama lobuKristu ukuze abanike obu bomi bungenasiphelo ebesoloko enabo ukususela ekuvukeni kwakhe.

Lowo unaye uNyana, unabo ubomi; lowo ungenaye uNyana kaThixo, akanabo ubomi. ( 1 Yohane 5:12 )

Ubomi ke obukuKristu abuphathiswa abangcwele bodwa, bunakwabafileyo;

Wathi uYesu kuye, Ndim uvuko, ndim ubomi; lowo ukholwayo kum, nokuba ubethe wafa, wodla ubomi; bonke abadla ubomi bekholwa kum, abasayi kufa naphakade. Uyakholwa na koko? ( Yohane 11:25-26 )

Imfazwe yokugqibela yoluntu ngumzabalazo wobomi. Yimfazwe yokusinda, njengoko ibonwa jikelele ngawo onke amacala. Ungquzulwano luza ngenxa yezimvo ezahlukeneyo indlela yokusinda. Ihlabathi elingamoyikiyo uThixo likholelwa ukuba ingqondo yomntu inokoyisa yonke imiqobo, kodwa uMkristu uyazi ukuba INYE indlela engapheleliyo ekufeni.

Ndim umnyango: ukuba umntu uthe wangena ngam, wosindiswa; uya kungena ephuma, afumane utyani. ( Yohane 10:9 )

Ukusukela ngo-2010 xa uYesu waqatshelwa kwiqela leenkwenkwezi zeOrion,^[1] umnyango wamadlelo aluhlaza uvuliwe. Kweli nqaku, umyalezo we-Orion uza kuza isangqa esipheleleyo njengoko sinxibelelana ngeyona mfundiso iphambili evela kumqondiso woNyana womntu, imonogram yakhe yasebukhosini equka ii-initials uAlfa no-Omega, njengoko zichaziwe kolu ngcelele lwenqaku (blue and red, ngokulandelanayo):

Njengoko lo mqondiso wasebukhosini uzisa isangqa esipheleleyo somyalezo weOrion, iimeko zehlabathi zimbi. Amathuba athatyathwe lula ayavala, kwaye ukungasebenzi kuya kubonwa ngemiphumo yako eyintlekele. Ukufunda akupheli, kodwa kufika ixesha xa kusenziwa izigqibo, enoba kukwamkela okanye ukugatywa—ukukhetha imibala kabani. Sithandazela ukuba eli nqaku litywine ukhetho lwakho lokuma kunye nabangathembeli emntwini, kodwa kuThixo.

Utsho uNdikhoyo inkosi; Iqalekisiwe indoda ekholose ngomntu, eyenza inyama ingalo yayo, intliziyo yayo imke nje kuYehova; inkosi.

Hayi, uyolo lomntu okholose ngoYehova! inkosi, kunye nethemba labo inkosi yi. (Funda uYeremiya 17:5,7, XNUMX.)

ITywina likaThixo

Ukususela kwixesha leMfuduko kaSirayeli kubukhoboka baseYiputa, ibunzi lalilapho umthetho kaThixo wawuya kukhunjulwa khona:

kube ngumqondiso kuwe esandleni sakho; sibe sisikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho. ukuba inkosiUmyalelo mawube semlonyeni wakho; inkosi wakukhupha eYiputa. ( Eksodus 13:9 )

Kanye njengokuba amaSirayeli ayekhotyokiswa ngokuthe ngcembe ebudeni beminyaka enokuba ngama-400, ngoko ngobuqhetseba obufanayo, ihlabathi liye lenziwa amakhoboka kwakhona. Izabhokhwe needyokhwe kunye nabaphathi bemisebenzi ngoku bangamazinga enzala nokunyuka kwamaxabiso kunye “nabarhafi,” phakathi kwezinye izinto. Ukuze aphile ngokukhululekileyo ebukhobokeni aze angabuyeli umva, amaSirayeli ayemele abhale umthetho kaThixo emabunzini awo, kwincam engaphambili yengqondo, esisisihlalo sokugweba, umsebenzi wokulawula, wesenzo sokuzithandela, yaye okona kubalulekileyo okufunwa nguwe. LE yinkundla yokwenene yedabi yokomoya.

Inqaku elandulela eli lichaze indlela umthetho kaThixo, okwiDNA, omelwa ngayo kumqondiso woNyana womntu. Abo bangabakaThixo, abo baphatha igama Lakhe, kufuneka babe neDNA Yakhe—kungekhona nje iDNA yantlandlolo yomntu awayidalayo, kodwa neDNA yesimilo sakhe. Nguwo lo umyalelo wakhe, obhaliweyo ezintliziyweni zabantu bakhe; ukuze bangabuyeli ebukhobokeni besono.

Ukuba nomthetho obhalwe ebunzi kuthetha ukugweba, ukucwangcisa, ukwenza, kunye nokuthatha isenzo sokuzithandela ngokuhambelana nobume bakhe. Ukuyibeka ngenye indlela, umfazi (njengomzekelo wecawa) ngokwesiko uthatha igama lomyeni wakhe, kwaye izenzo zakhe ziba sisandiso sendoda yakhe. Ukuba uliqweqwedisa ityala, umzekelo, umthetho uya kubhenela kuye ukuba akakwazi ukulihlawula. Ngoko ke, ibandla limele livisisane noKristu, lingenzi ngokuchaseneyo nokuthanda Kwakhe, kuba lilithabathile igama Lakhe yaye inkululeko yalo asiyoyalo, kodwa lathengwa ngexabiso.^[2] 

Uze ungalithabathi igama likaYehova inkosi UThixo wakho wafumana wafumana; ukwenzela i inkosi Ofumana alibize igama lakhe, akayi kumenza omsulwa. ( Eksodus 20:7 )

Ukususela kwiEksodus ukuya kwiSityhilelo, umntu ufumana umfuziselo ofanayo. Ekubeni kwi-Eksodus umthetho wawuya kuba sisikhumbuzo ebunzi (oko kukuthi, engqondweni),^[3] kwisiTyhilelo ligama likaThixo elinikelwe njengesikhumbuzo:

Lowo weyisayo ndiya kumenza intsika etempileni yoThixo wam, angabi saphuma; kwaye ndiya kulibhala phezu kwakhe igama loThixo wam. negama lomzi woThixo wam, oyiYerusalem entsha, ohla uphuma emazulwini uvela kuThixo wam; kwaye ndiya kulibhala phezu kwakhe igama lam elitsha. (ISityhilelo 3: 12)

Nangona le ndinyana ingasichazi ngokungqalileyo ibunzi, kufanele kuqondwe ngayo, njengoko ichaza itywina eliphindwe kathathu likaThixo. Umgca osuka kwiphupha elidala, elibuprofeti elaliqukwe kumboniso weOrion wenza kucace:

Abali-144,000 XNUMX batywinwa baza bamanyene ngokupheleleyo. Emabunzini abo kubhaliwe kwathiwa. UThixo, iYerusalem Entsha, nenkwenkwezi ezukileyo enegama elitsha likaYesu. {EW 15.1}

Ngoku qonda oku kumxholo wesifundo esikhoyo se-monogram yobuthixo, kuba yintoni itywina, ukuba ayisiyiyo lo mqondiso? Kwaye umntu ufumana njani eli tywina ebunzini lakhe?

Kufanele kucace ukuba ukufundisisa umqondiso woNyana womntu (ukuba nawo engqondweni nokuwucamngca ngawo onke amandla okuqiqa akwincam engaphambili) kuqukiwe koko kuthethwa kukuba netywina likaThixo ebunzi. Noko ke, inzulu kunoko. Kufuneka ibhalwe-oko kuthetha ukuba kufuneka kubekho umbhali. Nale nto ibonakaliswe kumqondiso woNyana woMntu ngokwawo:

Qaphela itshiseli (ikroza iCaelum). Le chisel sisixhobo esisetyenziselwa ukukrola oonobumba. Njengoko kubonisiwe esibhakabhakeni, itshizolo ide yalathiswe ngasebunzi yeentlanzi. Imalunga nokubhala itywina likaThixo emabunzini maKristu. Abo bavumela iintliziyo zabo zamatye ukuba ziqhekezwe licwecwe leNkosi ngokwenza njalo bafumana intliziyo yenyama efana neYakhe—inxalenye engaphambili egwebayo, iceba, iphumeze, kunye namavolontiya njengoko Wenzayo. Abanjalo Ubabonisa njenga UDorados, intlanzi esemanzini acwengileyo ezalelwa kwimilambo ekweleenjiko kuMzantsi Merika, kuquka iParaguay. Igama Dorado ngokoqobo lithetha “igolide” ngeSpanish, yaye libhekisela kumbala ogolide wentlanzi. Ngokufuziselayo, bayigolide kuba banokholo olusulungekileyo olufana negolide enyibilikisiweyo emlilweni, nentlanzi kuba bengamaKristu.

Noko ke, ukuze igama likaThixo libhalwe emabunzini, kumele kubekho umbhali. Nangona uThixo wayenokuthumela ingelosi ukuba yenze lo msebenzi, le asiyondlela asebenza ngayo uThixo. Ngokuqhelisela, uThixo uthumela abantu abaqhelekileyo abafana nam nawe ngendlela efanayo kwindlela awayibonisa ngayo kuHezekile komnye wemibono yakhe, apho amadoda athunyelwa evela etroneni kuthumo lobuthixo ukuze aphawule (okanye atywine) amadoda afanelekileyo emabunzini awo.

Kwaye i inkosi Yathi kuyo, Canda esazulwini somzi, esazulwini seYerusalem, ubeke uphawu emabunzini amadoda ancwinayo, ancwinayo ngenxa yamasikizi onke awenzekayo esazulwini sayo. ( Hezekile 9:4 )

Ubanika ilungelo lokuba nenxaxheba kulo msebenzi, ukuze bawufanelekele umvuzo ozayo.^[4] 

Eli ibe lilungelo lomsebenzi wethu ukususela ekuqaleni. Xa uMzalwan’ uJohn wafumana iwotshi yeOrion ekupheleni kuka-2009 (okanye naxa wayefumana imiyalelo kuMoya oyiNgcwele ngaphambi koko), yaba lilungelo novuyo lwakhe ukwabelana nabanye ngayo. Elo lungelo liyaqhubeka kwaye lidlulela kuwe nangalo myalezo wokutywinwa kokugqibela.

Kwiforum yethu yokufunda, uMzalwana uJohn ubambe olu luvo kwisicatshulwa esilandelayo kwisithuba eside:

Ngaba ulibonile iqela leenkwenkwezi kuphela kwindawo ye-α kunye ne-ω endingayikhankanyanga ukuza kuthi ga ngoku?

Kukho i-easel enomzobo ongagqitywanga kanye phezu kwendawo yonke, esona sikhundla silungileyo sokuba umzobi akhangele phezu kwe-panorama yokubonelela kukaThixo kunye nenkokeli yebandla laKhe ukuba iwubambe ngalo lonke ixesha kowona msebenzi mkhulu wobugcisa wendalo iphela.

Ngubani umzobi?

Impendulo ibonakala ngokulula ngokuguqula umfanekiso kwisalathiso esihambelanayo. Yiyo ngoku ethe tye emile uDorado ozoba umfanekiso, intlanzi etywiniweyo ephefumlelwe yiHobe loMoya oyiNgcwele, ehlala ejonge ngqo kweso sikhundla se-pendulum apho ilixa lokuxwilwa kwabo liya kubethwa yi-E3.

Le ngcaciso yomzobi ayipheleli nje ekuchazeni umsebenzi kaMzalwan’ uJohn, kodwa ibalaselisa wonke umntu olandela umzekelo ofanayo wedini leNkosi yethu njengoFiladelfiya. Njengoko wathanjiswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele (ofanekiselwa lihobe), waza wafikelela ukuze atywine abanye ngexesha alibona libonakaliswa yiwotshi yasezulwini, ngoko nawe unokukwenza. Oko uMoya oyiNgcwele asenzela kona, singakubonisa abanye njengobungqina bethu—ubungqina bethu bomsebenzi weXesha—ukubonisa umsebenzi wobugcisa wasezulwini odalwa yiNkosi.

Ngale ndlela, wonke umntu unethuba lokuzisa umfanekiso okwi-easel emehlweni abanye, ukuze bafumane itywina likaThixo emabunzini abo ngokunjalo. Le yindlela umntu ngamnye anokuthi athathe inxaxheba ngayo emsebenzini kaThixo aze azuzele omnye umphefumlo kuKristu nangala maxesha anzima. Ukuba uya kumkhonza ezulwini, kufuneka uqale umkhonze emhlabeni. Akukhathaliseki nokuba ungubani na; Sonke siyalingqina liyinyaniso isaci esithi: “UThixo akababizi bafanelekileyo, ubenza bafanelekele ababiziweyo.” Inkonzo emhlabeni kukufaneleka kwakho kwinkonzo ebukumkanini obuzayo.

Intsingiselo yeGama

I-Dorado yegolide imela abantu bakaThixo abatywiniweyo abenza umzobi kwi-easel, bebonke bebonisa umfanekiso opheleleyo kaYesu njengobungqina kwesi sizukulwana sokugqibela. Batywinwa, kungekuphela nje ngenxa yokuba beqonda umqondiso wasezulwini wetywina, kodwa ngenxa yokuba bevumele uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba enze ebomini babo umsebenzi owumeleyo.

Oku kuya kubhalwa emabunzini abo bangcwele kuba abo babujongileyo ubuso bobuthixo bayaguqulwa bafane naye.

Thina ke sonke, sinobuso obuvulekileyo, sibukhangela njengokwasesipilini ubuqaqawuli beNkosi; 11 Baguqulwa basuka kwanjengaloo mfanekiselo, besuka ebuqaqawulini sisinge ebuqaqawulini; njengoko kwakungoMoya weNkosi. ( 2 Korinte 3:18 )

Xa uzijonga esipilini, ngaba uyawubona umfanekiso kaYesu Kristu? Ngaba uyambona umntu onobuntu bakhe, umntu osebenza egameni lakhe, othi kubomi bemihla ngemihla abhale iitshekhi zenceba ukuze anike amahlwempu ngoMoya: iitshekhi ezifakwe kwi-monogram yobuthixo, iBhanki yezulu evuyayo ukuyihlonela egameni loMnini kunye noMseki wayo?

Okanye ukukuvakalisa ngendlela efaneleke ngakumbi i-fintech yewaka leminyaka elitsha, ngaba ungomnye othi kubomi bemihla ngemihla athumele iintlawulo ezikhawulezileyo zoxolelo ngesantya sokukhanya kwabo “banetyala le-fiat” kubalawuli bobuzwilakhe obunciphayo? Ngaba ukunxulumana kwakho nabanye abantu kukumgangatho olingana negolide yokomoya—into yokholo enqabileyo nexabiseke njengegazi likaYesu Kristu?

Iileta i-alpha kwaye omega esiyibonayo ezulwini isayinwe yeNkosi, ngokungathi kungesivumelwano; okanye umnqophiso. Kodwa zimela ntoni ezo mibhalo-ngqangi? Ngokuqhelekileyo, i-monogram ingaba negama lokuqala kunye nelokugqibela lomntu. Ngamanye amaxesha unobumba ophakathi nawo uqukiwe. Oonobumba bamela igama, yaye igama limela umntu. Ngoku, umntu unokubuza, ukuba i-alpha kwaye omega ngoonobumba abamela igama leNkosi, ngoko lingubani igama Lakhe? UYesu unikwe amagama amaninzi eBhayibhileni achaza okuthile ngobuntu bakhe.

Ngokuba sizalelwe umntwana, sinikwe unyana; urhulumente uya kuba segxalabeni lakhe; igama lakhe kuthiwa nguMmangaliso, nguMcebisi, nguThixo oligorha, nguSonini nanini, nguMthetheli woxolo. ( Isaya 9:6 )

Abanye bathanda ukumbiza besebenzisa igama laKhe lesiHebhere elithi, Yeshuwa okanye elinye lalo kwaye akukho nto iphosakeleyo kuloo nto kodwa makavumele lowo uthetha igama elibhekisa eNkosini enze oko eyiqonda intsingiselo yalo. Ngamagama aguqulelwe njenge "Mcebisi" ngokuthe ngqo, kodwa ngamagama asemzini, nokuba sinokuwabiza ngokugqibeleleyo, sisenokungayiqondi intsingiselo yawo.

Uya kuzala unyana ke, umbize ngegama elinguYesu; kuba uya kubasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo. (UMateyu 1: 21)

Ngoko, ubhekisela entwenini xa uYesu ezibiza ngokuba nguAlfa no-Omega? Xa sibona oonobumba uAlfa no-Omega kumqondiso woNyana womntu, oko kubonisa ukuba igama leNkosi lokuqala (ngesiGrike) liqala ngonobumba. i-alpha kwaye igama losapho Lwakhe liqala ngonobumba omega. Abumba isishunqulelo segama Lakhe “elipheleleyo.”

Ukususela ekuqaleni kwesigidimi seOrion, siye saqonda ukuba uYesu entsha Igama ligama lamandulo lesiArabhu leenkwenkwezi ezisembindini wewotshi yeOrion, iAlnitak, njengoko bekutshiwo ngaphambili. Kodwa kwinkcazo yokubuya kukaYesu, iBhayibhile ithetha ngokutyhilwa kwelinye igama njengoko uYohane wachaza oko wakubonayo:

amehlo akhe enjengelangatye lomlilo; entloko izithsaba ezininzi; waye negama libhaliwe, ekungekho bani ulaziyo, ingenguye ngokwakhe. (ISityhilelo 19: 12)

Ekubuyeni kweNkosi, eli gama likhethekileyo liya kuba ibhaliwe. Kubhaliwe encwadini uphawu yoNyana womntu—umbhalo wasezulwini omela uMntu woNyana womntu.

Uya kubonakala ngelo xesha umqondiso woNyana woMntu ezulwini [ngeli gama lingaziwayo]: zimbambazele ngelo xesha zonke izizwe zomhlaba, zimbone uNyana woMntu [ngobuso] esiza esemafini ezulu enamandla nobuqaqawuli obukhulu. ( Mateyu 24:30 )

Xa umqondiso woNyana woMntu ubonakala, eli gama (okanye imonogram elimelayo) liyabonwa yaye liqondwa okokuqala. Yi yaziswa kuphela ekutyhilekeni kwayo ezulwini; kwaye oko kuthetha ukuba sifanele siwazi ngoku, kuba siyabona ukuba umqondiso uya kumila kwiinyanga ezingenelelayo de iNkosi yethu ibonakale ngamehlo ethu.

Ngaba uyalazi igama lakhe? Asilogama Lakhe elitsha nje kuphela, kodwa kwanegama lentsapho Yakhe, yaye wonke umfundi wesigidimi seOrion unokulixabisa. Iye yasetyenziswa kakhulu, kodwa akukho mntu wayesazi ukuba yayibhalwe kumqondiso woNyana womntu. Kuphela ngoku xa umqondiso unokufundwa nguYe owenza laziwe elo gama:

Imfihlakalo iyasonjululwa xa siqaphela ukuba ileta omega ngesiGrike (ω) sisikhamiso esinesandi esihambelana nonobumba “o” ngesiNgesi, ngelixa unobumba i-alpha (α) ihambelana no-“a”. UAlnitak ligama elitsha likaYesu,^[5] kodwa ifumaneka kweyiphi “ntsapho” loo nkwenkwezi imela iNkosi? Ikusapho lwekroza lweOrion. Igama lakhe elitsha elipheleleyo linjalo "IAlnitak yaseOrion." Ungowokuqala kunye nowokugqibela (igama).

Ibhayibhile yabhalwa ngesiGrike, nangona kunjalo, kufuneka sijonge ukuba la magama asezulwini eneneni anawo na oonobumba bokuqala besiGrike i-alpha kwaye omega. Ngapha koko, ngakumbi njengesiNgesi sethu "okanye" yenye yesiGrike "okanye" ethe ngokumangalisayo yaba ligama lasekhaya kwixesha le-Covid: omicron. Unokuzijonga usebenzisa uMguquleli kaGoogle: NgesiGrike, igama lenkwenkwezi ethi Alnitak libhalwe njenge Αλνιτάκ, iqala ngokucacileyo ngeleta i-alpha (A). Kwaye igama lekroza leOrion libhalwe ngolu hlobo Ωρίων, kwakhona ngokucacileyo iqala ngonobumba omega (Ω).^[6] 

Okubangel’ umdla kukuba, ubani unokufunda ukuba umbhalo osebunzi le-144,000 asilogama (okanye amagama oonobumba bokuqala) kaYesu kuphela, kodwa kwanoYise:

Ndabona, nantso iMvana imi phezu kweNtaba yeZiyon, kumi nayo i-144,000 ababenayo. Igama lakhe negama likaYise libhaliwe emabunzini abo. ( ISityhilelo 14:1 )

Umntu unakho ukuqonda oku kuthetha ukuba uYise unamagama afanayo noNyana wakhe, okanye xa sithetha ngokwemvelo, uNyana unamagama afanayo noYise. Ukuba niwabonile amagama oonobumba bokuqala boNyana, niwabonile nonobumba bokuqala bukaYise.

Ukuba benindazile mna, ninge nimazile noBawo; ngoku ke niyamazi, nimbonile nokumbona. ( Yohane 14:7 )

Kulandelwa lo mzekelo, inkwenkwezi esembindini yeenkwenkwezi zebhanti yeOrion—leyo emela uBawo—ithiywa igama. Alnilam. Ezo kuphela kweenkwenkwezi ezimbini zeOrion amagama azo aqala ngonobumba i-alpha (ngesiGrike).

Kodwa ngaba ikho intsingiselo enzulu ngoku emva kweli gama likaAlfa no-Omega leNkosi noBawo wethu? Amagama aseBhayibhileni anentsingiselo. Babalisa ngesimilo salowo ubizwayo. Uthixo Luthando; Isimilo sakhe singundoqo wothando. Yakhe igama luthando. Ke, ithetha ukuthini iOrion? Okanye ngcono, imele ntoni?

Ngaba kwenzeka ngamabona-ndenzile ukuba kuwo onke amakroza angama-88 esibhakabhakeni, amabini kanye aqala ngonobumba? omega ngesiGrike: iOrion neHorologium, Ωρολόγιον? Amakroza amabini abalisa ixesha—ihourglass yeOrion newotshi yependulum, iHorologium—imi njengeziqu ezibini zomthi wobomi kumacala omabini omlambo wobomi ( Eridanus ). Banxibelelene ngokusondeleyo, bobabini belusapho olunye lweXesha—ekuqaleni nasekupheleni, namanzi omlambo wexesha aqhubeka edlula kubo, enika ubomi nokutya kwisiqhamo sawo kuyo yonke indalo.

Kuba kuyo sihleli, siyashukuma, sikho; njengokuba neembongi ezithile zakowenu zitshilo ukuthi, Kuba nathi siyinzala yakhe. ( IZenzo 17:28 )

Ukususela ekuqaleni kweNdalo e-Orion ukuya kwixesha lokuphela kwiHorologium, into eqhelekileyo lixesha. Kwaye "ixesha" ngesiGrike lilo ωρα:

G5610 ὥρα hora (ho'-rah) noun

1. "iyure"

{ngokoqobo okanye ngokufuziselayo [ithetha “ixesha”]}

Xa uYesu wazichaza njengoMntu omega, Ngokufanelekileyo wathi, “Ndilixesha lokuqala kwiOrion nelokugqibela kwiHorologium”; Isimilo sakhe sothando asinakusivumela isono ukuba sime ngonaphakade. Uya kuliphelisa ixesha layo.

Igama Alnitak ligama lamandulo elisuka kwisiArabhu elithetha “Owenzakeleyo.” Esi sisimo seNkosi, hayi nje ingxelo yenyani. Ngoba Ngaba Wangxwelerhwa? IBhayibhile isixelela ngokucacileyo:

kodwa uhlatywe ngenxa yezikreqo zethu; watyunyuzwa ngenxa yezenzo zethu ezigwenxa; ubetho lokuba sibe noxolo thina lube phezu kwakhe; nangemivumbo yakhe siphilisiwe. ( Isaya 53:5 )

UYesu wahlatywa ngenxa yethu—ngenxa yokusithanda kwakhe. Igama elahlukileyo lisetyenziswa ukuchaza olu hlobo lothando lokuzincama nolobubele ngesiGrike. Yi αInqaku:

G26 ἀγαπη agape (ag-ah'-pay) noun

1. uthando, oko kukuthi uthando okanye ububele

Ngaloo ndlela, xa uYesu evakalisa ukuba unguAlfa no-Omega, uthi unguAlnitak weOrion, umnye noYise, uluthando nexesha lokukuvakalisa; i αγαπη kwaye i ωρα.

Into yonke inexesha elimisiweyo, nomcimbi wonke unexesha lawo phantsi kwezulu: ukuzala kunexesha lako, ukufa kunexesha lako; ukutyala kunexesha lako, ukunyothula okutyelweyo kunexesha lako; ( INtshumayeli 3:1-2 )

UYesu wayekho ekuqalekeni kwiNdalo kwaye ukho ngoku kwintshabalalo njengoko kwaprofetwa kwiSityhilelo 19. Sikwixesha lesiphelo; ixesha lokufa; ixesha lokunyothula oko bekutyeliwe. Kodwa abo balaziyo igama leNkosi abamele boyike. UnguLowo Ungxwelerhiweyo wamaxesha onke, ukuze sibe nobomi obungunaphakade. Ngenxa yokuba uThixo uliXesha, omathathu amalungu eBhunga eliNgcwele aliXesha, kodwa uYesu unguMnye waba baThathu abaliXesha abonzakeleyo. UnguAlnitak—uAlfa—Lowo Wangxwelerhwayo kwintsapho kaThixo Yexesha—u-Omega.

Ukuvala iSangqa sokuKhanya

INkosi iziveza njengoAlfa no-Omega ekuqaleni kwencwadi yesiTyhilelo, xa Izazisa kumabandla asi-7 kwakhona ekupheleni, xa Iveza umtshakazi Wayo, isiXeko esiNgcwele. Amabandla asixhenxe amele ibandla lakhe liphela emhlabeni:

Ndaye ndikuMoya ngemini eyeyeNkosi, ndeva emva kwam izwi elikhulu, ngathi lelexilongo, lisithi: Mna ndinguAlfa no-Omega, owokuqala nowokugqibela: uthi, Okubonayo kubhale encwadini, ukuthumele kumabandla asixhenxe akwelaseAsiya; e-Efese, eSmirna, ePergamo, naseTiyatira, naseSardesi, eFiladelfi, naseLawodike. ( ISityhilelo 1:10-11 )

Amabandla akuso sixeko ngasinye kwathethwa ngawo ngokobuqu, kwaza kwanikelwa isithembiso kwabo babeya koyisa kuso ngasinye. Ke umxholo ophambili weSityhilelo ubalisa ibali lokoyisa kwebandla ngexesha kunye nentsalela yembewu yalo, phezu kotshaba. Ukuqukumbela, umtshakazi weNkosi ubonisiwe-iYerusalem entsha, apho ibandla lihlala khona:

Wathi kum, Yenziwe. Mna ndinguAlfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphelo. mna ndomnika lowo unxaniweyo emthonjeni wamanzi obomi, ngesisa. Lowo weyisayo uya kuzidla ilifa izinto zonke; ndibe nguThixo wakhe, yena abe ngunyana wam. ... Kweza kum esinye sezithunywa zezulu ezisixhenxe, ezineengqayi ezisixhenxe, ezizele zizibetho zosixhenxe zokugqibela, sathetha nam, sisithi, Yiza apha, ndikubonise umtshakazi, umfazi wayo iMvana. Sandisa ndikuMoya entabeni enkulu, ephakamileyo, sandibonisa umzi omkhulu, iYerusalem engcwele, usihla uphuma emazulwini, uvela kuThixo, ( ISityhilelo 21:6-10 )

Ngaloo ndlela, incwadi yeSityhilelo ivala isangqa njengoko amabandla asixhenxe esiba ngumtshakazi omnye. UYesu njengoAlfa no-Omega unxibelelene nolu tshintsho. Kweli nqanaba, bekuya kuba kuhle ukubuyela ekukhanyeni kokuqala iNkosi eyakhokelela uMzalwan’ uJohn ukuba abelane ngako esidlangalaleni kwi-Intanethi. UMoya ebekhokela kwasekuqalekeni njengoAlfa no-Omega, ukuzisa abantu bakhe abachithachithekileyo emzimbeni omnye.

Ukususela ekupapashweni kwayo ngo-2010, i Intetho yeOrion iquke ukuya esiphelweni sokufunda ezi zilayidi zilandelayo ezityhila igama lasebukhosini likaYesu:

Kwiinkwenkwezi zebhanti ezintathu ezimele ubuThixo, uAlnitak yinkwenkwezi emele uYesu ohleli ngasekunene kukaBawo ezulwini (ekhohlo njengoko sibonwa ngokwembono yethu). Siyabona ukuba iNkosi, eyahlatywa ngenxa yezikreqo zethu,^[7] nguMbhinqo obophelela ibandla kuThixo.

Kulo mongo, sinikwe ukuqonda ukuba kutheni imonogram yobuthixo ingabonisi nje kuphela igama elitsha likaYesu, kodwa kwanegama likaThixo uYise. Njengoko imelwe ngu IAlnilam yaseOrion, uYise unobumba ofanayo noNyana. Bahlala bemanyene kwinjongo nakwisimilo. Xa ufunda kwaye ucamngca ngezi zilayidi zilandelayo, uya kufumana umbono wobungangamsha beNkosi (kunye nobukhulu besono sabo bayigatyayo inceba Yakhe).

Namhlanje, izazi ngeenkwenkwezi zisebenzisa oonobumba besiGrike ukuchaza iinkwenkwezi. Noko ke, abo nobumba basetyenziswa njengamanani ngakumbi kunamagama, yaye abananto yakwenza negama likaYesu “ekungekho bani ulaziyo ngaphandle Kwakhe,”^[8] nto leyo ebonisa ukuba asimele silandele indlela umntu azibiza ngayo iinkwenkwezi, kodwa nguThixo owanikela intsingiselo yemizekeliso yeenkwenkwezi.

Xa ufunda ezi zilayidi, ingaba iyaqala ukuvakala ukuba kwakutheni ukuze iNkosi—uAlfa no-Omega—ithumele Orion umyalezo (ω) nge Alnitak (α) njengenkwenkwezi yayo esembindini? Igazi lamadini lalimela ubomi. Egazini kukho iDNA, ikhowudi yobomi, echaza umntu. Imalunga nomlinganiswa. Kuphela kungenxa yobulungiseleli bukaYesu njengoMthetheleli omkhulu owacenga igazi lakhe endaweni yethu apho sinokusaba khona kwimiphumo engunaphakade yesono, ekukufa. Ukususela ekuqaleni kwalo myalezo, wayesilungiselela isiphelo.

Ngaba uyalubona unxibelelwano phakathi komlambo i-Eridanus kunye nomlambo wegazi lomntu ukutyhubela ixesha, okanye iDNA, ikhondo lakhe uSathana azama ukulilawula namhlanje? Ukuze umntu angenelele ngokuthe ngqo nangamabom kwi-genome yomntu kukudlala ngomlilo.

Umntu unokuwuthabatha na umlilo ase esifubeni sakhe, Zingatshi na iingubo zakhe? ( IMizekeliso 6:27 )

Kodwa uThixo usinike esi sigidimi sisilumkiso kulo lonke ihlabathi ukuze abo bamthandayo, abo balumkileyo, abo bamhlonelayo bakulungele kakuhle ukuthobela yaye bangabi nabuganga bakuluhlutha igunya loMdali nangokuthanda kwabo, bangcolise oko wakudalayo kwagqibelela kwasekuqaleni.

Isayensi yakha yafundisa ukuba i-DNA yethu imiselwe kwaye ayiguquki, kodwa sele ifikelele ekuqondeni ukuba i-helix yethu ephindwe kabini inzima kakhulu kwaye iyatshintsha ngokwendlela yobomi bethu. Yiyo loo nto kudla ngokubonwa ukuba isimilo sabazali sifunyanwa ngabantwana. Xa umntu eqala ukuphila ngoMoya kaKristu, uba a isidalwa esitsha^[9] kwaye iDNA yakhe iyahlaziywa. Njengoko olo tyekelo lwemfuza lusoyiswa, imizila yemfuza kabani iyatshintsha.

Ingcwele yasezulwini yindlu kaThixo apho umoni anokuya khona ngokholo ukuze afumane ukuhlanjululwa ekungcoleni kwesimilo sakhe.

Isihlalo sokucamagusha simelwe ziinkwenkwezi zebhanti ezintathu zeOrion. UAlnitak, othetha Lowo Ungxwelerhekileyo, uphawula icala apho igazi laphalazwa khona ukuze kusindiswe umntu.

Iziphumo zophando ziyabonakaliswa ngoku. Abaninzi baye bazingqina bengafaneleki, kuba endaweni yokukhangela kuMsindisi kwiOrion ukuze bafumane usindiso, baye bathembela emntwini ukuba angabaphilisa aze abakhusele. Abanye baya kuxengaxenga baze banikezele phantsi kwengcinezelo eyandayo, ukunyanzelwa, okanye intshutshiso, yaye kungenxa yabo esi sigidimi ngoku simele sinikelwe ukuze someleze. Vumela le ngongoma iqhutywe ekhaya, ukuba bagcine isithsaba sabo sobomi, banqabe naluphi na ugonyo okanye umzamo womntu wokuphazamisa i-DNA yabo, kwaye babaleke edikeni lomlilo. Amehlo aba bantu kufuneka alathiswe kuMsindisi noKumkani wabo.

Ngokholo kuKristu, sinokusoyisa isono kwaye sivelise ngokutsha iDNA yethu njengoko ichaphazela isimilo sethu. Siba sisidalwa esitsha ngokomfanekiselo kaKristu. Kodwa ukuba sibeka ukholo lwethu emntwini kunye neteknoloji yakhe yemfuza, siba sisidalwa esitsha ngomfanekiso ndoda. Abaninzi baye baqonda ukuba ukuguqulwa kwemizila yemfuza okufanayo kwakusenzeka ngemihla kaNowa.

Yiyo le ke inzala kaNowa; uNowa waye eyindoda elilungisa kwaye egqibelele kwizizukulwana zakhe; uNowa wahamba noThixo. ( Genesis 6:9 )

UNowa wayefezekile “kwizizukulwana zakhe,” nto leyo ethetha kwigazi lakhe, iDNA yakhe. Ooyise abahlonel’ uThixo abazange bathabatheke yinkanuko yamehlo ukuze batshate “neentombi zabantu” baze ngaloo ndlela bangcolise igazi labo.

Njengoko kwaye kuhle ngemihla kaNowa, koba njalo nangemihla yoNyana woMntu. ( Luka 17:26 )

Njengoko oovulindlela bokuqala bebandla lomgwebo balandela uYesu ngokholo xa wayengena kweyona ndawo ingcwele yengcwele yasezulwini, ngoko esi sizukulwana sokugqibela siyamlandela naphi na apho aya khona namhlanje.

I-144,000 XNUMX ngabalandeli bakaYesu. Ngabo abathi ngokuzincama bakhethe indlela yedini njengoko wenzayo, bengabhekiseli kubomi babo nosindiso olungaphezu kolwabanye abantu. Ngabo baya kuzabalazela ukunceda abanye, kwanaxa nabo beswele. Abakhohlakeleyo babona uthando lokungazingci kuKristu kodwa abanakuze baluqonde:

Bema abantu bebonela. Bamsinekela ke nabaphathi bamaYuda kunye nabo, besithi, Wabasindisa abanye; makazisindise, ukuba unguye uKristu, umnyulwa kaThixo. ( Luka 23:35 )

UYesu wayengenakuzisindisa. Wayelazi ixabiso ekwakufuneka lihlawulwe ukuze sisindiswe, yaye elo xabiso alinakuze lilityalwe. Yenziwa isikhumbuzo emazulwini.

Kuwo onke amaphakade, akukho namnye oya kuze athethe ngalo naliphi na inxeba, ngalo naliphi na inxeba, nakuphi na ukuphambana okuthe kwenzeka ngaphandle kwaloo nto idluliselwe eNkosini yethu kwingcwele yasezulwini. Uthwala konke, yaye Nguye yedwa ofanele ukukhunjulwa ngenxa yokubandezeleka Kwakhe. Nguye kuphela uAlnitak, “Lowo Ungxwelerhekileyo” weOrion, uAlfa no-Omega.

Kuba kuya kuba ludumo luni na, ukuba ninyamezele nakuntlithwa nisona? Ke ukuba nithi, nisenza okulungileyo, nive ubunzima, nize ninyamezele, oko kuyathandeka kuThixo. (1 Peter 2: 20)

Akukho namnye ezulwini oya kukhumbula nayiphi na intlungu, kuba bonke abo bakhululwe esonweni baya kwazi ukuba yinceba kaThixo kuphela.

Kuba iMvana esesazulwini setrone iya kubalusa, ibakhokelele emithonjeni ephilileyo yamanzi; azisule uThixo zonke iinyembezi emehlweni abo. (ISityhilelo 7: 17)

NguMnye kuphela onako ukuzisula zonke iinyembezi, kuba ligazi lakhe elaphilisa amanxeba abo.

UKumkani noBukumkani bakhe

Ukususela ngo-2010, emva kokuba uAlnitak egqalwa njengenkwenkwezi enegama elitsha likaYesu, i-“Orionists” iye yathandaza eNkosini ibhekisela kwigama Layo elitsha—elithi Yesu, Owenzakeleyo, okanye uYesu-Alnitak. Namhlanje, amagama akhe oonobumba bokuqala beewotshi zasezulwini aqinisekisa kwaye aqinisekisa ukuba babechanile ukwenjenjalo. I-monogram yobuthixo ka-Alfa no-Omega ibonisa iGAMA LOKUQALA leNkosi yethu kunye neGAMA LOKUGQIBELA, kanye njengoko wabonisayo ekuqaleni kweSityhilelo:

Ndaye ndikuMoya ngemini eyeyeNkosi, ndeva emva kwam izwi elikhulu, ngathi lelexilongo, lisithi: Mna ndinguAlfa no-Omega, ongulo Ekuqaleni kwaye i Okokugqibela: nokuthi, Okubonayo kubhale encwadini, ukuthumele kumabandla asixhenxe akwelaseAsiya; ( ISityhilelo 1:10-11 )

Kutheni kubalulekile ukwazi igama elipheleleyo likaYesu? Wazibiza ngokuba ngumhlobo wethu nomzalwana wethu, kwaye waba njalo. Wabubekela bucala ubuThixo Bakhe ukuze abe ngomnye wabantu. Ngaloo ndlela, uYesu uqhelekile kuthi. Uye wabubona ubomi emhlabeni njengoko siye sabunandipha, kunye novuyo neentlungu zabo.

Kuba asinambingeleli mkhulu ungenako ukuvelana nezilwelwe zethu; ke, walingwa ngeendlela zonke, kwanjengathi; kanti akanasono. ( Hebhere 4:15 )

Ngale ndlela, siyamazi ngokwesiseko segama lokuqala. Simbiza ngokuba nguAlnitak, sisazi ukuba njengoko senzakaliswe sisono, Naye wabandezeleka kwaye wangxwelerheka ngenxa yesono. Siyazi ukuba Uyaqonda.

Kuba lowo ungcwalisayo, kwanabo bangcwaliswayo zonke zikunye: ngenxa yoko angenazintloni ukubabiza ngokuthi ngabazalwana; esithi, Ndiya kulazisa igama lakho kubo abazalwana bam, Ndivume kuwe indumiso phakathi kwebandla. ( Hebhere 2:11-12 )

Simanyene noMsindisi ngendlela esondele ngakumbi kuneengelosi. Sigazi linye naye! Singabantwana bakhe, kwaye ngaphandle kokukhetha, abantwana babelana ngeDNA yookhokho babo.

Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba sibe ngabantwana baKhe, Waqala ukuba nguMntwana wethu.

Ekubeni ngoko abantwana abo bengamadlelane naye ngenyama negazi, wathi naye ngokwakhe ngokukwanjalo wabelana nabo ngezo zinto. ukuze ngako ukufa ambhangise lowo unegunya lokufa, oko kukuthi, uMtyholi lo; abakhulule ebukhobokeni bonke abo babethe ngalo lonke ixesha lokudla kwabo ubomi bazizisulu zokoyika ukufa. Kuba ndithi, akathabatheli kuye zithunywa; wathabathela kuye imbewu ka-Abraham. (Heb. 2: 14-16)

Ukuba uYesu Krestu wathathela kuYe ubume bobuntu kwiminyaka engamawaka amane emva kokuwa, ngaba sinobuganga bokudelela kwa elona lifa lemfuzo awayengenazintloni ukulithabatha? Kwaye ukuba ngokholo sifumana ukuhlanjululwa kwegazi Lakhe—igazi lakhe lomntu, ekubeni simoyisile umtyholi enyameni yethu—sinobuganga bokuthemba nawuphi na omnye umzobo kumgaqo wobomi ngaphandle kwalowo azenzele wona?

UYesu uye wathwala igazi Lakhe—indalo yethu, ilifa lethu lemfuza—walisa kwelona zulu liphakamileyo, ukuze nangona emi apho phezulu yaye ephakanyiselwe phezulu eOrion, sisenako ukumbiza ngegama Lakhe lokuqala, elithi Alnitak, sikhumbula indima Yakhe ekuxolelaniseni indalo yethu ewileyo noThixo uBawo. Igazi lakhe ngumzekelo wobuntu ezulwini, kwaye abo basemhlabeni baphumelele uvavanyo lwe-DNA, abo basemhlabeni abanesiginitsha yemfuza ehambelana nomzekelo wasezulwini babodwa abavunyiweyo njengeendlalifa, njengabantwana bakaBawo.

Kodwa uYesu ukwangowasebukhosini, yaye uyalela ukuba ahlonelwe. Akanalo igama lokuqala kuphela, kodwa nefani. Njengezihandiba zamandulo, akabhekiselwa kuye kuphela ngegama Lakhe, kodwa nangobukumkani Bakhe. Akayiyo nayiphi na iAlnitak. Akanguye nawuphi na umntu owenzakeleyo. UnguAlnitak waseOrion, iNkosana yaseZulwini eyonzakeleyo eyamlimazayo!

Baninzi abathi uYesu unguMsindisi wabo. Baninzi abonwabileyo ukufumba izono zabo emagxeni aKhe baze baqhubeke besolula igazi eliphuma kumanxeba akhe ukuze bagubungele ukuxolelwa kwabo okungapheliyo. Kodwa aba baya kuqonda ngokukhawuleza ukuba uYesu akazange abe yindoda yokudlala. Akazange anikele ngegazi lakhe ngenxa yeencwadi kuphela. Akazange eze kuthetha nomtyholi kodwa ukumtshabalalisa. njengoko watshoyo kwinyoka ekuqaleni:

Ndiya kumisa ubutshaba phakathi kwakho nomfazi, naphakathi kwembewu yakho nembewu yakhe; uya kukutyumza intloko, kwaye wena uya kumbetha isithende. ( Genesis 3:15 )

Ngoku uYesu uza njengoKumkani. Kuthi, xa athe walawula ukumkani, usoloko ebabulala abangcatshi abade bamguzule utshaba. (Kwaye akufuneki ayenze ngokwakhe; unamagosa kunye nomkhosi wonke oko.)

Akuncedi nto ukwamkela uYesu njengoMsindisi wakho ukuba nawe awumenzi abe nguMongami wakho. Akuncedi nto ukuvuma izono zakho ukuba awumvumeli uYesu azicim’ igama.

Akukho mntu unako ukukhonza nkosi mbini; kuba eya kuyithiya le, athande leya; athi mhlawumbi abambelele kule, ayidele leya; Aninako ukukhonza uThixo nobutyebi. ( Mateyu 6:24 )

Ukulawula isono kubalulekile. Wenjenje uYehova ukumwisela umthetho uKayin, phambi kokuba ambulale uAbheli:

Kwaye i inkosi Wathi kuKayin, Uqumbeleni na? Yini na ukuba busangane ubuso bakho? Ukuba uthe walungisa, akuyi kwamkeleka na? ke ukuba wenze ububi, isono sesikungxangele emnyango. Umnqweno wakhe woba kuwe, ube ngumlawuli phezu kwakhe. ( Genesis 4:6-7 )

Isono sifuna ukuba nawe, kodwa wena uya kuthi lawula phezu kwayo. UYesu nguMsindisi noMongami, kwaye njengomntwana wakhe unegunya lakhe lokulawula isono ebomini bakho, kwaye kufuneka. Ufanele usibulale isono njengomphumi-mkhosi olungileyo ekhusela ubukumkani balo. Leyo yintsingiselo yobhaptizo. Yaye oko koko kuthethwa ligama elipheleleyo likaYesu: Alnitak waseOrion, uMsindisi noMongami—onegunya lexesha.

Itywina ngalinye linamacandelo amathathu: igama, iofisi kunye nommandla. Ngoku siyazi igama Lakhe nguAlnitak, yaye ummandla Wakhe yiOrion—elona kroza liqaqambileyo lezulu, nto leyo ebonisa isihlalo solongamo Lwakhe olunabela kulo lonke izulu; akukho mkhulu.

Kodwa yintoni iofisi Yakhe? Isikhokelo sikwikroza elidibanisayo le-Eridanus. Zombini iinkwenkwezi zewotshi kunye nomlambo ophakathi kwazo zibalulekile kwitywina. IOrion ifanekisela uYesu njengoMbingeleli Omkhulu, Lowo wathethelela uluntu ngegazi Lakhe. Uchazwa kwisiTyhilelo njengeMvana eyaxhelwa kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi:

Baya kulinqula bonke abemi behlabathi, abamagama angabhalwanga encwadini yobomi iMvana eyaxhelwa kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi. (ISityhilelo 13: 8)

Le ndinyana ibhekisela kwixesha—ngokukodwa ixesha lembali yomhlaba. Phawula ukuba phezu kwako nje ukuba uSathana ebangela ukuba bonke abangengabo abakaThixo bamnqule kangangexesha elithile, BONKE ABANTU ekugqibeleni baya kumnqula uYesu, kwanabo bangayi kubudla ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade.

Kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ndihleli nje mna, itsho iNkosi, Aya kugoba kum onke amadolo, Zidumise uThixo zonke iilwimi. (KwabaseRoma 14: 11)

Kukho isizathu esicacileyo sokuba wonke umntu uya kunqula uYesu. Akayi kubuya njengoKumkani wookumkani neNkosi yeenkosi kuphela ngenxa yokuba nguNyana kaThixo, kodwa ngenxa yokuba ekufanelekele eso sikhundla. Ufanelekile, ekugqibeleni Emehlweni abangendawo. Kutheni eyifanele nje? IBhayibhile iyasixelela:

Ndabona, ndeva izwi lezithunywa zezulu ezininzi, zenze isangqa etroneni, namarhamncwa, nawo amadoda amakhulu; laye inani lawo lizizigidi ngezigidi; Watsho ngelizwi elikhulu, Iyifanele iMvana eyaxhelwayo ukwamkela amandla; nobutyebi, nobulumko, nokomelela, nozuko, nozuko, nentsikelelo. (Isityhilelo 5: 11-12)

IMvana eyaxhelwayo ifanele ukufumana amandla. Oku kuboniswa ngokufuziselayo kumqondiso woNyana womntu ophuma kumakroza amathathu aziintloko: IOrion ifanekisela uYesu njengoMthetheleli othenjisiweyo, iMvana eyaxhelwa ukususela ekusekweni kwehlabathi. Igazi lakhe elaqukuqela ukusindiswa koluntu lifuziselwa ngumlambo iEridanus, awathi kuwo uYesu wabhaptizwa ekufeni waza wavuka kwakhona. Kwelinye icala kukho iHorologium, emele uYesu njengoKumkani ekupheleni kwexesha. Umlambo (owawuqukuqela ecaleni kwaKhe) likhonkco eliqhagamshelayo:

Kwaye unesambatho sakhe kunye nempahla yakhe umlenze igama elibhaliweyo kwathiwa, UKUMKANI KOKUMKANI, KWAYE inkosi OF inkosiS. ( ISityhilelo 19:16 )

Bekungayi kubakho unxibelelwano olusuka kwiOrion ukuya kwiwotshi yeHorologium ukuba uYesu ebengabunikelanga ubomi bakhe. Idini lakhe lamenza ukuba afaneleke ukufumana amandla. Kuyafana ke nakulo lonke uluntu: abo balandela indlela yokholo njengoAbraham baya kudla intsikelelo awayithembisayo uThixo:

Nengelosi yeNkosi inkosi wabiza uAbraham okwesibini ezulwini, wathi, Ndizifungile mna, utsho uYehova inkosi, ngokuba uyenzile le nto. akunqabanga nonyana wakho, emnye kuwe, ukuba ndikusikelele; ndiyandise ndiyandise imbewu yakho. njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, nanjengentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle; imbewu yakho ilidle ilifa isango leentshaba zayo; zisikelelwe ngembewu yakho zonke iintlanga zehlabathi; ngenxa enokuba uliphulaphule ilizwi lam. ( Genesis 22:15-18 )

Apha kwibali lika-Abraham, sifumana umzekeliso wento ethethwa siSityhilelo ngabantu bakaThixo abangqina ukuba uMoya wakhe wedini uyasebenza ngaphakathi kubo.

Bameyisile bona ngegazi leMvana. nangelizwi lobungqina babo; ababuthandanga ubomi babo kwada kwasekufeni. (ISityhilelo 12: 11)

UAbraham wabalelwa ekubeni ekufanelekele ukufumana izulu nomhlaba ngokuba wabingelela. Ngaba ukhe wayihamba loo Ndlela? Ngaba ilizwi lobungqina bakho bokholo libe loloyiso lwedini kuKristu?

Ukuqonda ukuba yintoni na enika uYesu ilungelo lokufumana onke amandla, ngoku sinokuphendula ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba yintoni kanye kanye i-ofisi Yakhe eyiyo: Nguye owathabatha igalelo lezono zethu. ‘Wayenguye yaye uya kuhlala enguLowo Ungxwelerhiweyo’ amanqaku akhe aya kuhlala ngonaphakade. Itywina elipheleleyo-igama, iofisi, indawo-ke ngoko "UAlnitak, Owenzakeleyo waseOrion."

Amakroza amathathu aphambili omqondiso woNyana womntu ( Orion, Eridanus, Horologium ) onke amela ixesha ngandlel’ ithile. I-Orion yi-hourglass, emele ukuqala kwexesha okanye ixesha elidlulileyo. I-Eridanus ngumlambo, omele ukuhamba kwexesha, okanye ixesha elikhoyo. Kwaye iwotshi yeHorologium imele ukuphela kwexesha, okanye ixesha elizayo. UThixo uliXesha, kwaye uYesu uhleli kwitrone kaYise.

Mna ndinguAlfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphelo, itsho iNkosi. Lowo ukhoyo, wayekho, uzayo, uSomandla. (ISityhilelo 1: 8)

Ngoku uyasiqonda isizathu sokuba iNkosi isikhokelele ekuqondeni umqondiso woNyana woMntu ukuba sisiseko somngxuma omnyama-ezo ndawo kwindalo iphela apho isithuba kunye nexesha zidibana ngobunye obuchaza ubume bukaThixo, oliXesha kwaye ukho kuzo zonke iindawo ngoMoya. Ngokwenene yayiyiNkosi eyasikhokelela ekuqondeni oku njengelifu elincinane elimnyama elalisondela emhlabeni. Ngo-Epreli ka-2019, sabukela ngomdla isityhilelo sikamabonwakude somngxunya wokuqala omnyama owakha wabonwa ngokuthe ngqo-M87. Yathiywa igama lesiHawaii, elithi POWEHI, elithetha “indalo ehonjisiweyo emnyama engenangqiqo”—igama elimfaneleyo uMdali ongenakuphengululwa ngobulumko.^[10] yaye igutyungelwe bubumnyama.^[11] Ekubeni ibhekisa kwigama likanaphakade NDINGUMNA, silibhala ngendlela efanayo nazo zonke iikepusi.

Kodwa ezi zinto zazingamakrotyana nje akude, zingasonjululwanga kakuhle, ngobungangamsha baKhe. Ilifu elincinane elimnyama laliza kusondela emhlabeni. Sasilindele ukuba kungekudala, umngxuma omnyama osembindini weMilky Way wethu uya kutyhilwa—usondele kakhulu kunezigidi ezingama-54 zeminyaka yokukhanya ye-M87. Nangona kuthathe ixesha elide kunokuba bekulindelwe, umfanekiso wokuqala we ISagittarius A * yatyhilwa ngoMeyi 12, 2022—isazindi womxhuzulane wesixeko esingcwele sasezulwini—kunye nodaka olukhazimlayo oluthathu lwalunokubonwa ngokulula njengeembono ezintathu zikaNaphakade, “okhoyo, nowayekho, nozayo.” Yintoni eya kuba yindawo elandelayo esondeleyo yokufumana umngxuma omnyama? Ngaba yayiye yafunyanwa eOrion, okanye ngaba kusenokwenzeka ukuba “iPlanethi X” yayingumngxuma omncinane omnyama olapha kwisixokelelwano sethu sezijikelezi-langa?

Ngoku siyabona ukuba imingxunya emnyama yayikhokelela phi, ekubeni sinokulibona ilifu ngokusondeleyo ngakumbi kwiicomet ezimbini kwisixokelelwano sethu sezijikelezi-langa ngokubhekiselele kumakroza (eenkwenkwezi ngokwazo zisondele lee kuneSagittarius A*). Engasengawo amabala aqaqambileyo amathathu, sibona uYesu echazwe kumakroza amathathu ahlukeneyo exesha.

Le nyaniso ichazwa ezulwini kwaye isayinwe nguAlfa no-Omega ngentshukumo yangexesha yeecomets ezimbini i-K2 kunye ne-E3. Eli litywina leXesha eliza kubhalwa emabunzini abantu bakaThixo.

Ngaba itywina likulobe yakho engaphambili? Ngaba ixesha lisengqondweni yakho? Ngaba ukhe wabuza owakho umbuzo othi "kuze kube nini?" Ngaba ixesha lokubuya kukaKristu likwazisa umgwebo wakho nokwalathisa imisebenzi yakho yokulawula?

Kwanga ukusuka namhlanje ukuya phambili uthathe ixesha ngokuzimisela. Sebenzisa lonke ixesha ngobulumko, ukuzisa umyalezo ka-Alnitak, Owonzakeleyo weOrion, kwihlabathi. Musani ukubaxhalela abo bacekisayo; amadoda anezixhobo zokuxhela aza kulandela ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo.^[12] Kambe ke kufuneka ninikele ngesipho sedini, ukuba nifunyaniswa ukuba nifanele ukuba nenxaxheba kwilifa lentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle, neleenkwenkwezi zezulu. Into ekufuneka uyenzile kukulandela umlambo ngokholo. Kufuneka uhambe kunye nee-comets (iinkwenkwezi) ukuya kwi-Orion Nebula (isanti kulwandle lweglasi).

Akukhathaliseki nokuba uvela kumyalezo we-Orion ngo-2010 njengoko senzayo, kwaye wafika kulo mhla weNkosi kwi-Horologium (njengekhosi ye-comet E3), okanye ukuba uqala ngolu suku ngexesha lewotshi ye-Horologium kwaye ufumanisa indlela ebuyela kuYesu, Lowo Ungxwelerhekileyo e-Orion (njengekhosi ye-comet K2). Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, uyakulandela umlambo wobomi omele ukwakheka komlinganiswa okuyimfuneko ezulwini.^[13] Kwaye kolu hambo, njengoko ubhaptizelwa kwidini likaKristu kwaye utywinwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele weXesha, ukhatshwa yiNdoda enikele ngayo yonke into ngenxa yakho. Ibandla laseFiladelfi ngoko liyamazi uYesu njengoMhlobo.

Kususela ngoku andisatsho ukuthi ningabakhonzi; ngokuba umkhonzi akakwazi okwenziwa yinkosi yakhe; ke mna ndithe nizizihlobo; ngokuba zonke izinto endaziva kuBawo, ndanazisa zona. (UJohn 15: 15)
