Qaphela: nangona sithethelela inkululeko yesazela kwimiba yokufumana iyeza lokugonya i-COVID-19, ALUXHATHI uqhanqalazo olunobundlobongela okanye naluphi na uhlobo. Sijongana nalo mxholo kwividiyo esihloko sithi Umyalelo KaThixo Kubaqhankqalazi Namhlanje. Sicebisa ukuba ube seluxolweni, uhlale ujongelwa phantsi, uze uthobele imigaqo yezempilo ngokubanzi esebenzayo kwindawo ohlala kuyo (enjengokunxiba isigqubuthelo sobuso, ukuhlamba izandla nokugcina imigama emiselweyo) logama nje bengachasani nemithetho kaThixo, ngoxa bephepha iimeko eziya kufuna ubani agonywe. “Ngoko yibani nobulumko njengeenyoka, nibe njengamahobe ukungabi nabuqhinga” (kuMateyu 10:16).

Kwezi veki zisandul’ ukuvela, iindaba bezithe saa kunikelwa ingxelo ngesaqhwithi esibizwa ngokuba nguElliott—igama elithi “Eliya.” Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba esi saqhwithi singumqondiso wokuba abo baza kuza ngomoya namandla kaEliya balapha yaye balungele ukulungisa indlela yokubuya kukaKristu njengoko imini yeNkosi isondele?

Yabonani, ndiya kuthumela kuni uEliya umprofeti phambi kokuba ukufika kwemini enkulu neyoyikekayo inkosi: ( Malaki 4:5 )

Kweli nqaku, uya kubona indlela iingcango zezulu ezivulwa ngayo—iNdlela, iNyaniso noBomi—kwakwindawo enye apho isibingelelo sikaEliya awasitshiselayo uThixo, sasimelwe khona ezulwini. Jonga ixesha kwaye ulungele ukungena kuCango lobomi (uYesu) xa luvuleka, ukubaleka ikamva labangaguqukiyo.

Isiphango sasebusika esibandayo nesibulalayo sikaEliya emantla sadibana nomlilo osemazantsi owatshabalalisa isixeko esinabemi abakhenkethi baselwandle iViña del Mar.^[1] (Isidiliya soLwandle) eChile. Ewe, isondele imini eyoyikekayo kaYehova, apho abangendawo behlabathi baya kuphoswa khona. isixovulelo sewayini yomsindo kaThixo njengeediliya ezivuthiweyo esidiliyeni solwandle.^[2] Kodwa ngaba abo bafa kwezi ntlekele babenesono ngakumbi kunabanye?

Ndithi kuni, Hayi; nothi, xa sukuba ningaguquki, nitshabalale kwangokunjalo nonke. ( Luka 13:5 )

Xa zidibene, ezi ntlekele zilumkisa umhlaba uphela—kumhlaba osemantla nakumazantsi—ukuba ixesha lokuvelela kukaThixo likufuphi nje phambi kwethu, xa eya kuwubetha umhlaba ngesiqalekiso njengoko kuchaziwe kwindinyana yokugqibela yeTestamente eNdala:

Woyibuyisela intliziyo yooyise kubantwana, nentliziyo yabantwana kooyise; hleze ndize ndilibethe ihlabathi ngesiqalekiso. ( Malaki 4:6 )

Imigca embalwa yesi siprofeto izaliswe bubunzulu. Phawula ukuba umbandela oyintloko ekuprofetwe ngawo uEliya kukwahlulwa kwezizukulwana phakathi koobawo nabantwana—okanye, “abazali” nabantwana. Ithetha ngokubuyiselwa kwentsapho. Ithetha ngokulungisa i ukwahlukana ukuba ingcamango yesini iye yazisa phakathi kwabazali nabantwana.

USathana uye wayihlasela intsapho kuba ingumfanekiso kaThixo nongundoqo webutho labantu abahlonel’ uThixo. Nangona uhlaselo lwakhe kwimiba eyahlukeneyo yosapho, eyona ntlupheko imbi uSathana ayibangeleyo ayikho phakathi kotata nomama, kodwa phakathi kwabazali nabantwana, ngeengcinga ze-LGBT, ezenza i umfanekiso werhamncwa—isichasi kumfanekiso kaThixo njengoko wasekwayo ekudalweni.

Wamdala ke uThixo umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe; wamdala ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo; wadala indoda nenkazana. (IGenesis 1: 27)

Ukuyeka le ntsika yendalo kuye kwabangela eyona ngxaki inkulu eluntwini namhlanje. Luhlobo lokumka kuThixo olwabangela ukuba umlilo uhlasele izixeko zaseSodom naseGomora, ezingumzekelo wesiphelo sehlabathi. Ke, xa isilumkiso sokugqibela seTestamente eNdala sithetha ngoEliya owayeza kubuyisela abantu kwingqiqo ephangaleleyo ngomba wosapho, yinto esifanele siyinike ingqwalasela ekukhanyeni kweengxaki zanamhlanje. Ngaba ayimangalisi into yokuba izikhulu zehlabathi zikhuthaze ukunqula indalo ngeli xesha ukufundisa ukunyamezela kwe-LGBT ngokuchasene nendalo? Ayinangqondo le!

Ingcamango yokuba amadoda amabini anokuba nosana (okanye ngabafazi ababini) enoba ngokumkhulisa okanye ngezinye iindlela zokwenziwa, ibubuxoki, yaye uyise wobuxoki nguSathana.^[3] IDNA yomntu iye yanikelwa nguThixo ukususela ekudalweni kwayo, yaye iDNA ngokwayo ingqina ukuba ubani ungubani na. Bubuvuvu bebhayoloji ukuba nootata ababini okanye oomama ababini, ukanti abantu bayafundiswa—abantwana bayafundiswa- ukwamkela loo mampunge.

Nangona kunjalo, kulapho sikhoyo. Abazali besikolo esidala kunye nesizukulwana esitsha sabantwana abaziintloni, abafundiswa ngabantwana—abamfundo yabo yayixhaswa ngemali ngokungathandiyo ngeedola zerhafu kwabona bazali ababecekiseka kakhulu kubo—bahlukene phakathi. Yaye kwezinye iimeko, iminikelo yesisa kwimfundo kumazwe ahlwempuzekileyo—ebonakala iyinto entle—iza nemitya edityaniswe ngokwemigaqo yezifundo ezisa olu yantlukwano kwimimandla apho ezo zinto zilihlazo zingasayi kuze zizenzele ngokwazo.

I-Philanthropy ligama elihle, kodwa ekusebenzeni, ayingomzamo wesisa ozimisele ukuba ube ngawo. Inyaniso ephathelele ububele ishwankathelwa kumazwi kaSolomon osisilumko: “Isipho siyayitshabalalisa intliziyo.”^[4] Yindalo yomntu ukuba ukunyaniseka kutsaleleke kwicala apho imali ivela khona, kwaye le mpembelelo sesona sizathu sibangela ukuba abantu abanobubele babe ngabalungileyo. Abenzi kakuhle kwaphela; baxhasa nje i-ajenda yabo ngezimali ngendlela eyamkelekileyo eluntwini ebenza babonakale njengabaxhamli boluntu, ngoxa eneneni ngokufuthi bengabameli bokutshatyalaliswa kwalo.

Iyantlukwano phakathi kwabazali nabantwana iye yakhula kwisizukulwana ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba apho oosopolitiki abancinci kunye neenkokeli zoluntu sele bephakathi kwabo bafundiswayo. Ibhayibhile ithi le ntlukwano inkulu imele iphiliswe nguEliya, “hleze” uThixo awubethe umhlaba ngesiqalekiso, kwaye ezi ntlekele zendalo ziyimiqondiso esixelela ukuba ixesha lesigqibo lifikile. Okanye, mhlawumbi indlela esengqiqweni ngakumbi yokutolika amazwi okugqibela kaMalaki ikukuthi, “xa” lifika ixesha lokuba intsapho yahlulelene gqitha kwibutho labantu kangangokuba umonakalo awunakuze ulungiswe kwakhona, “ngoko” kunokulindelwa isiqalekiso esiphelisa ihlabathi.

Umoya kaEliya Namhlanje

U-Eliya ongumfuziselo wesiprofeto sikaMalaki wayefanele ukuba libandla, esiza njengoYohane umBhaptizi ukulungisa indlela yeNkosi.

Kwaye yena [UYohane umBhaptizi] iya kuhamba phambi kwakhe [UYesu] ngomoya nangamandla kaEliya, ukuba aziguqulele iintliziyo zooyise kubantwana, nabangevayo kuko ukuqonda kwamalungisa; alungisele iNkosi abantu abalungisiweyo. ( Luka 1:17 )

Kanye njengoEliya wamandulo, ibandla lalifanele libabuyisele ezingqondweni abantu encotsheni yeNtaba yeKarmele yanamhlanje, kodwa ubukhulu becala, amabandla ayeziphatha njengamaSirayeli amandulo:

Wafika uEliya ebantwini abo bonke, wathi, Koda kube nini na nimbaxa? ukuba inkosi ukuba nguBhahali yena, landelani yena. Abamphendula nelizwi abantu. (I-1 yooKumkani 18: 21)

Ngokuthe cwaka ebandakanyeke kuyo yonke isiphithiphithi sokumiselwa kwamabhinqa nokunyamezelana kweLGBT, iicawa azizange zithabathe nyathelo okanye zoyike ukwenjenjalo ngokuchasene neenkokeli zazo, yaye ekugqibeleni, “uEliya” wokugqibela wasala yedwa, ekholelwa ukuba nguye kuphela othembekileyo owayesele emhlabeni.

Wathi yena, Bendinekhwele kakhulu ngendawo inkosi Thixo wemikhosi; ngokuba bewushiyile umnqophiso wakho oonyana bakaSirayeli, izibingelelo zakho bazigungxula, abaprofeti bakho bababulala ngekrele; ndim ndodwa oseleyo; bafuna umphefumlo wam, ukuba bawuthabathe. (I-1 yooKumkani 19: 14)

Noko ke, uEliya engazi, kwakukho abathile abathembekileyo abasalayo:

Ke ndozishiyela kwaSirayeli isixhenxe samawaka, amadolo onke angaguqanga kuBhahali, imilomo yonke engamanganga. ( 1 Kumkani 19:18 )

Uzifumana uphi kweli bali? Ngaba ubuphakathi kwabo basukuma ngo-2015 kwaye bathetha ngokuchasene nomthetho weNkundla ePhakamileyo yomtshato we-gay we-US? Ngaba wawuphakathi kwabo baye bama nxamnye neecawa ezazithontelana kuRhulumente ukuze ziphephe nayiphi na imbonakalo yocalucalulo ngenxa yokoyika ukuphulukana nokungahlawuliswa irhafu? Ukuba uye wema waza wathetha nezilumkiso zikaThixo kummandla wakho wempembelelo, ngoko usenokuba uye wathabatha umoya kaEliya. Kodwa amabandla awayebizelwe ukuba ngooEliya behlabathi ekuphakamiseni isidima sokuziphatha engekakwenzi oko, aya kutshabalala kunye nabangenamigaqo ngokuphandle, ngaphandle kokuba bayaguquka.

Kodwa kwabo babemi njengoEliya, iBhayibhile ibalisa ibali—ibali lomlilo ovela ezulwini owathi ekugqibeleni wakhupha emilebeni yamaSirayeli awayethandabuza ukuba uEliya wayenyanisile ngalo lonke elo xesha.

Emva koko umlilo we inkosi yawa, yalidla idini elinyukayo, kwaneenkuni, namatye, nothuli; namanzi abe esemseleni yawakhotha. Babona bonke abantu, bawa ngobuso, bathi, The inkosi, unguThixo; i inkosi, unguThixo. (I-1 yooKumkani 18: 38-39)

Nguwuphi umlilo omele hle uvela ezulwini ukuze utshitshise uvumo olunjalo emilebeni yamaKristu namhlanje? Ngaba ngumlilo wemijukujelwa yenyukliya onisa ilizwe labo ledinga? Ngaba iplanethi etshatyalaliswe ngamaqhekeza e-asteroid abuyisela ukuthobeka koluntu lwenzululwazi, kuquka iNASA? Iza kuthatha ntoni? Kuya kuthi kwakufika umlilo, kubonakale ukuba ngowuphi na umbingelelo owamkelekileyo emehlweni kaYehova;

Umsebenzi osemoyeni namandla kaEliya ngokwesiprofeto sikaMalaki asikokuzisa impiliso nohlaziyo nje kuphela kubantu bakaThixo, kodwa kukwazisa imini yengqumbo efikelela incopho ngokufika kukaYesu okwesibini.^[5] Elo bali lilonke libonakala esibhakabhakeni ngokubanzi, njengoko besityhila kumanqaku akutshanje. Kwi Isityhilelo SamaNgqina Ambini KaDaniyeli, ngokomzekelo, lo mfanekiso ulandelayo ubonisa iiwotshi ezimbini zobuthixo—iOrion neHorologium—eziye zazaliseka ngazo iziprofeto ezininzi zeSityhilelo kunye nokushukuma kweenkanyezi ezinomsila ezibalaselisa iinkalo eziyintloko zezo ziprofeto.

Njengoko iNkosi isikhokele kulo lonke olu lungiselelo, siye sabuza ukuba umcimbi wesibingelelo sikaEliya kwiNtaba yeKarmele unokumelwa njani na kwizifundo, kuba esi yayisisibingelelo apho uThixo wazibonakalisayo ngokungathandabuzekiyo emehlweni eentshaba zakhe. Sasinokusoloko siziqonda iinkalo ezithile, kodwa de siziqonde zonke izinto zasezulwini uThixo azisebenzisayo ukuze adlulisele inzaliseko yesiprofeto, imbono yethu yayimxinwa kakhulu yaye yayingakwazi ukuyamkela intsingiselo epheleleyo yokomfuziselo Wakhe. UThixo usikrobile kwiseyile enkulu ngakumbi kunokuba besikhe sayiqwalasela ngaphambili—equka izinto eziphuma kuzo zonke iiwotshi Zakhe.

Thatha isibingelelo sikaEliya, umzekelo, esakhiwe ngamatye alishumi elinambini.

UEliya wathabatha amatye alishumi elinamabini, ngokwenani lezizwe zoonyana bakaYakobi; kubo ilizwi leNkosi inkosi weza esithi, Liya kuba nguSirayeli igama lakho; (1 Kumkani 18:31)

Inani elilishumi elinesibini lifuzisela izizwe zakwaSirayeli, ezathi zandlala inkampu yazo kwiimbombo zone zomhlaba zijikeleze ingcwele kaThixo. Oku kwakusoloko kusithunzi sasemhlabeni oko uThixo wakuthembisa kuAbraham, oko kukuthi inzala Yakhe yayiya kuzidla ilifa iinkwenkwezi—kwaye ngaloo ndlela izizwe ezilishumi elinesibini zaziya kunwenwa zisinge kwizimbo ezine zezulu kwakunye nomhlaba. Ngokwenene, ngokufundisisa ngenyameko uludwe lwezizwe ezikwiSityhilelo, unxulumano oluqinisekileyo lweBhayibhile lunokwenziwa phakathi kwesizwe ngasinye neqela laso leenkwenkwezi—ufundo olutyhila ubuncwane bobuncwane bomhlaba. Imfihlelo yeSixeko esiNgcwele.

Lo mbono ubonisa amatye alishumi elinesibini ngendlela yewotshi yeeyure ezilishumi elinambini. Izandla ezibini zewotshi ephambili yeMazzaroth lilanga nenyanga, njengeyure kunye nezandla zemizuzu yewotshi eqhelekileyo eludongeni. Olu lwalamano phakathi kwamatye kunye neeyure ezilishumi elinesibini zewotshi zikhokelela ingqalelo yethu kwindawo yokufumana iinkuni kwesi sibingelelo: ngumnqamlezo esiwubonileyo kwiHorologium yeeyure ezilishumi elinambini ngaphakathi kwesangqa seMazzaroth.

Kwathi, ngexesha lokunyuswa kombingelelo wangokuhlwa. wasondela uEliya umprofeti, wathi, inkosi Thixo ka-Abraham, kaIsake, kaSirayeli, makwazeke namhla, ukuba wena unguThixo kwaSirayeli, ukuba mna ndingumkhonzi wakho, ukuba ndizenzile ezo zinto ngelizwi lakho. ( 1 Kumkani 18:36 )

IHorologium yiwotshi eneeyure ezilishumi elinesibini ekuncanyathiselwe kuyo idini, njengoko kuboniswa sisandla sentsimbi yesithathu esalatha kwiyure yedini langokuhlwa nelokufa kukaYesu.

Kwaye ngeenxa zonke esibingelelweni sikaEliya kwakuqukuqela umjelo wamanzi, njengoko kunjalo emazulwini kunye ne-Eridanus ehamba ngeenxa zonke.

Wakha ngamatye lawo isibingelelo egameni likaYehova inkosi: wenza umsele olingene iiseha ezimbini zembewu, ngeenxa zonke esibingelelweni. Wazicwangcisa iinkuni, wayityatya inkunzi entsha, wayibeka phezu kweenkuni, wathi, Zalisani imiphanda ibe mine ngamanzi, niwagalele phezu kwedini elinyukayo, naphezu kweenkuni. Wathi, Kwenzeni okwesibini. Benjenjalo okwesibini. Wathi, Yenzani okwesithathu. Bakwenza ke okwesithathu. Ahamba amanzi ngeenxa zonke esibingelelweni; wawuzalisa nomsele ngamanzi. ( 1 Kumkani 18:32-35 )

Imilinganiselo emibini enxulumene nomsele ojikeleze isibingelelo ihambelana nentsingiselo yomlambo i-Eridanus njengomboniso wemfuza yobomi njengoko kucacisiwe kwiingcamango zokugqibela ze Isityhilelo SamaNgqina Ambini KaDaniyeli. Njengoko uEliya wabazisa abantu emgwebeni, ixesha eliqukuqelayo lomlambo lalatha kumgca wexesha lomgwebo wehlabathi, oza ngezigaba ezibini:

Baza kujongana nokuphendula uYesu Kristu osele ekulungele ijaji abaphilayo nabafileyo. (Funda eyoku-1 kaPetros 4:5.)

Umlambo wexesha wawuqukuqela usiya phambili ngomgwebo wabafileyo kodwa umva ngomgwebo wabaphilayo^[6] ngelixa umzimba kaKristu wawugonyelwa intsholongwane yesono (njengoko kuchaziwe ku UKristu kuWe, uMfuzo wozuko). Omnye ubhekisa kwicala eliya phambili ukanti omnye ubuya umva—imilinganiselo emibini “yembewu”, oko kukuthi, iDNA.

Umzimba ofileyo kwi-Eridanus umele idini elibuyisela umva ixesha eyenziwe ngo-2016, njengenkunzi yenkomo phezu kweenkuni ezifuzisela idini likaKristu. Imiqadi emibini yomnqamlezo ibonakala ngokucacileyo kwikroza leHorologium, kwaye ngelixa idini leNkosi yethu limelwe yindoda elele emlanjeni wexesha, abo balamkele idini likaKristu baza balenza laba lelabo baboniswa kunye Naye. Bonke ababhaptizelwa kuKristu babhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe, ukuze nabo bavuke ebomini obutsha kunye naye.^[7] 

Abo bathabatha inxaxheba kuMoya namandla kaEliya babhaptizelwa kwidini—idini laseFiladelfiya— nize ngoko nihambe emanyathelweni, kungengawo kaEliya wamandulo kuphela, kodwa kwanoKristu ngokwakhe. Konke kubonakala kwabo bafunda ngezulu.

Ukuze kucace ukuba kwakungekho ndlela yokuba umntu awuphembelele loo mlilo, amanzi ayegalelwa phezu kwedini neenkuni—kungekhona kanye okanye kabini, kodwa izihlandlo ezithathu—yaye abalekela emhadini. Ngaba ukhe wakuva ukuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele? Unomoya wakho I-DNA yenziwe ngokutsha kunye nesimilo sedini elikhulu likaKristu? Kubumnyama bale mihla, amanzi oMoya oyiNgcwele athunyelwe kwiHorologium. Iicomets ezintathu zomkhenkce ezivela kwilifu le-Oort ziya kwenza indlela yazo yonke ooKumkani abathathu bexesha, kweli candelo lincinane lesibhakabhaka ebudeni ‘bemini enkulu neyoyikekayo yeNkosi’^[8] ukuba “uEliya” uvakalisa, kanye njengokuba uEliya wantlandlolo wayalela ukuba kugalelwe amanzi edini izihlandlo ezithathu. Ngamnye uya kuwela i-Eridanus njengamanzi azalise umsele ojikeleze isibingelelo. Idini likaKristu lalilelehlabathi lonke, kanye njengokuba iwotshi yasezulwini enomnqamlezo, yalatha kwicala leekhadinali ezine, yaye amanzi agalelwa aziinxalenye ezine. Yonke into iboniswe apho.

Ibali likaEliya owaprofetwayo lichaza isimilo somsebenzi wokugqibela wohlaziyo owafumana ithuba lokusindisa ihlabathi kwisiqalekiso esitshabalalisayo. Umfuziselo wasezulwini ubonisa indlela uKristu atyhilwa ngayo kwabo bavakalisa ukubuya kwakhe esemoyeni namandla kaEliya njengoko iintshukumo zokugqibela zabathathu ababalaseleyo ezulwini zichaza imihla yokugqibela yomhlaba.

Ngaba uya kubhaptizwa kwidini likaKristu uze uphile?

Isiqalekiso Kumhlaba Ongakhathaliyo

Kumazwi okugqibela eTestamente eNdala, ukubonakala kukaEliya kuthiwa kwandulela ukufika kwemini enkulu neyoyikekayo yomhla womgwebo. inkosi.

Yabonani, ndiya kuthumela kuni uEliya umprofeti phambi kokufika koyena mkhulu nowoyikekayo usuku lwe inkosi: Woyibuyisela intliziyo yooyise kubantwana, nentliziyo yabantwana kooyise; hleze ndize ndilibethe ihlabathi ngesiqalekiso. (Malaki 4: 5-6)

Yiyiphi “imini” ekuthethwa ngayo apha? Yaye sisiphi isiqalekiso esiya kubathwala abo bahlala bengachatshazelwa bubulungiseleli bokugqibela? Ngokucacileyo, imini yeNkosi, okanye “imini yeNkosi” ibhekisela kumhla ofanayo owaziswa kwincwadi yokugqibela yeTestamente eNtsha:

NdandikuMoya ngemini yeNkosi, ndeva emva kwam izwi elikhulu, ngathi lelexilongo, ( ISityhilelo 1:10 )

Kwimibono awayifumana kuYehova ngesandla sesithunywa sezulu, uYohane wawubona kanye lo mhla uMalaki waprofeta ngawo. Wakubona ngokomfuziselo oko kwakuya kwehlela ihlabathi “ngemini yeNkosi” enkulu neyoyikekayo, ibe yonke incwadi yeSityhilelo ijikeleza kwelo bali. Ngencwadi yeSityhilelo, sinako ke ngoko ukuqonda ukuba yintoni “isiqalekiso” esimiselwe abo bangawuthobeliyo umoya namandla anikiweyo. uEliya wokugqibela: kukuphalazwa kwazo zonke izibetho neziqalekiso ezibhalwe kuloo ncwadi—ngokukodwa izibetho ezisixhenxe zokugqibela.

Iya kuba mide kangakanani “imini” yeNkosi, kanye? Ngokuqinisekileyo, nawuphi na umphefumlo oqiqayo uya kuqonda ukuba ayinakuba yimini nje yokoqobo, kungenjalo akukho nto—kungakhathaliseki ukuba ibuhlungu kangakanani na—eya kuqinisekisa lonke uloyiko noloyiko oluchazwa ngayo. Ingakanani into enokwenzeka ngosuku? Kungakhathaliseki ukuba zimbi kangakanani na iziganeko zosuku, umntu ebeya kubandezeleka aze afe. Hayi, lulwimi lokomfuziselo, ulwimi lwesiprofeto.

Lo mbuzo kanye wajongwa ngo-2011 kwi Inxalenye yesibini kwisifundo senkqubo yamadini yamandulo yamaYuda nesonka semihla ngemihla esasibelwa bona. Xa sicinga ukuba indima kaEliya yokubiza umlilo uvela ezulwini kwiNtaba yeKarmele yayiquka ukwenza idini likaKristu libe yeyona nto iphambili ezingqondweni zamaSirayeli, kufanelekile ukufumana impendulo yobude bexesha lemini yeNkosi kwinkqubo yamadini.

Ndathi xa ndicinga ukwazi oku [kutheni abangendawo bephumelela]Yehova, kwaba kubi kakhulu kum; Ndada ndaya kungena ezingcweleni zikaThixo; ndasiqonda ke isiphelo sabo. ( INdumiso 73:16-17 )

Uhlolisiso ekuthethwa ngalo lwatyhila ukuba ubude bexesha lezibetho ezisixhenxe zokugqibela zeSityhilelo—okanye ubuncinane ixesha lesigaba esithile senkathazo eqatha, xa kuthelekiswa nexesha laxa abafundi babengenayo iNkosi yabo emva kokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni—yayingayi kuba “yimini” yokoqobo, kodwa iintsuku ezingama-372, unyaka omnye (365) neentsuku ezisixhenxe (7). Oku kwamiselwa ngokongeza inani lezabelo zokutya kokomoya uThixo awayezilungiselela ngokufuziselayo ngenkqubo yamadini, yaye okumangalisayo kukuba, kungqamana ngokugqibeleleyo nomgaqo wosuku-ngonyaka wokutolikwa kwesiprofeto, kwaneentsuku ezisixhenxe ezongezelelekileyo zongezwa ngenxa yesizathu esikhethekileyo.

…Ndikumisele usuku ngalunye lube ngumnyaka. (Funda uHezekile 4:6.)

Ngaloo ndlela, xa uThixo ethetha ‘ngemini’ yeNkosi enkulu neyoyikekayo, eneneni uthetha ngonyaka uphela—ixesha apho izibetho zifanele zoyike ngakumbi yaye ukubandezeleka ngokunokwenzeka kuya kuthatha ixesha elide ngakumbi kwabo bangenazo izabelo zemihla ngemihla ezingama-372 ezilungiselelwa lidini leNkosi yethu njengoko lanikelwa kwinkqubo yamandulo yomfuziselo.

Oku kukwangqinwa zezinye iindinyana zeBhayibhile ezithetha ngalo mhla woyikekayo:

Kuba umhla wempindezelo ubusentliziyweni yam; kwaye ufikile umnyaka wokuhlawulela kwam. (U-Isaya 63: 4)

Phawula indlela le vesi ethelekisa ngayo kungekuphela nje umhla nonyaka, kodwa impindezelo kwabangendawo kunye nexesha leNkosi labahlawulelweyo. Izobela umfanekiso wexesha laxa kungekuphela nje abangendawo abalidelelayo idini Lakhe bebethwa kukuziphindezela, kodwa kunikelwa ingqalelo ekhethekileyo kubantu Bakhe, abasixabisileyo isipho Sakhe sothando. Imalunga nobudlelwane bomntu ngamnye kwidini likaYesu emnqamlezweni ngoMeyi 25, AD 31.

Ngoku, ngaba iyamangalisa into yokuba ukufa nokuvuka kukaKristu kunendima ebaluleke kangako ekufikeni kwexesha lokuphela kwehlabathi? Eyokugqibela kwiicomets ezintathu ukutyelela iHorologium ibalaselisa idini leNkosi ekupheleni kwekhosi yalo, ngaphambi nje kokuba uYesu abuye. Ngaba yinto nje yamabona-ndenzile ukuba ikhokelele kwi-comet E3 ibetha i-pendulum ngoMeyi 28, 2024, kukho iintsuku ezintathu zesikhumbuzo sokufa kukaKristu, ukuphumla nokuvuka kwakhe (Meyi 25, 26, 27)?

Xa kuqwalaselwa isibakala sokuba imeko yehlabathi iya kuqhubeka isiba mbi ngakumbi njengoko isiphelo sisondela, umhla wempindezelo yeNkosi ngoko ke ufanele ugubungele phantse unyaka wokugqibela wexesha lasemhlabeni (iintsuku ezingama-365, kunye neentsuku ezisixhenxe ezongezelelekileyo zenkululeko). Kuyaphawuleka ukuba oku kubonakala ngathi kususela kwisikhumbuzo se Idini likaKristu ngoMeyi 25 of 2023 de kwangolo suku olunye ngo-2024.

Ngaphezu koko, ukuba sibuyela kwi-comet yokuqala yokungena kwi-Horologium kunye nokubonakaliswa kwayo "kwamagqabi" amathathu e-Horologium "umthi" obalaselisa ingxaki yokugonywa, sifumanisa ukuba lo nyaka wokugqibela wesigxina esikhethekileyo uhambelana ngokugqibeleleyo nokuphela kokulandelwa kweqabunga lesithathu:

Xa igqabi lesithathu ligqityiwe ngoMeyi 19, 2023, icomet BB iqalisa ukuzoba igqabi lonyaka wesine nowokugqibela lomzekeliso womkhiwane ongenasiqhamo kuLuka 13 njengoko kuchaziwe Isixovulelo sewayini sengqumbo kaThixo.

Aphendule ke yena athi kuye, Nkosi, wuyeke nangalo mnyaka, ndide ndimbe ndiwurhaqe, ndigalele umgquba. Ukuba ke uthe wavelisa isiqhamo, wowuyeka; ukuba akubanga njalo, wobuya uwugawule. ( Luka 13:8-9 )

Ngaloo ndlela, igqabi lesine—eliqala ngesikhondo salo—lingqamana ngokuthe ngqo “nemini yeNkosi” xa umnini-sidiliya eya kugawula umkhiwane ongenasiqhamo, omela amabandla angazange avelise siqhamo ngenxa yobukumkani Bakhe.

Ngenxa yokuba iVeki yoMzolelo kaKrestu yaqala ngokwembali Meyi 20, Ngowama-31 AD, ngokungena kwakhe ngoloyiso eYerusalem, sinokuqalisa ukuqiniseka ngokuthe ngqo ukuba imixhesho yemihla ngemihla engama-372 imele ukuba isetyenziswe njani. Ngaba iintsuku ezisixhenxe zinokwahlulwa kwimihla yesikhumbuzo seveki yePassion, eqala nge-20 kaMeyi, 2023? (Okwenza umdla kukuba, iPentekoste kwikhalenda yebhayibhile iya kungqamana nokuphela kwaloo veki yesikhumbuzo soMzolelo.)

Oku kuya kushiya izahlulo eziseleyo ezingama-365 ukusuka enyakeni ukuya kwixesha elisusela kuMeyi 27, 2023 kude kube ngoMeyi 25, 2024 (ibandakanyiwe), kuvumela iintsuku ezintathu ezongezelelweyo ukuba zibalwe de uYesu abuye, ngokufanayo neentsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu uYesu awayesembindini womhlaba ngaphambi kokuvuka kwakhe. Asifuni kuthelekelela ngeenkcukacha ezithe ngqo ezingekatyhilwa, kodwa into esiqiniseke ngayo kukuba iBhayibhile ithetha ngonyaka wempindezelo nokuba imixhesho yemihla ngemihla inikela kanye isixa sexesha lokomeleza abantu bakaThixo ebudeni baloo nyaka, njengoko kucaciswa yi<em>comet BB kwiwotshi yeHorologium. Mhlawumbi imikhondo eyongezelelekileyo inokufunyanwa kwikhalenda yebhayibhile, ekunokuthiwa isikhumbuzo sovuko lokwenyani senzeka nge-25 kaMeyi, 2024-isikhumbuzo sesikhumbuzo sokubethelelwa emnqamlezweni kunye nokuphela kweentsuku ezingama-372 njengoko kucetyiwe ngasentla.

INkosi iya kuqhubeka ikhokela abantu Bayo kulo lonke ixesha elizayo, kodwa kuphela ukuba sihamba ekukhanyeni iya kukhanyisa indlela yethu namhlanje. Xa ebonisa indlela, abantwana Bakhe kufuneka balungelelanise iintliziyo zabo ukuze zilandele inkokhelo yaKhe kwaye banethemba lokufika bekhuselekile ezingalweni zikaBawo. Lo ngowona msebenzi ubalaseleyo awathi uEliya weza kuwenza—ukuguqulela iintliziyo zabantwana bakaThixo kuYise osezulwini nangokuphambana naye.

Iingcango zeNtliziyo kaBawo

UBawo wethu osezulwini usoloko efuna ukubuyisela iintliziyo zabantwana Bakhe kuYe, kwaye abo bathi ngemihla yokugqibela, bathabathe inxaxheba kumoya kaEliya basebenza kunye Naye ukubonisa isizukulwana sokugqibela indlela eya kwikhaya Lakhe alilungisileyo.

Endlwini kaBawo zininzi iindawo zokuhlala; ukuba bekungenjalo, ngendanixelelayo. Ndiyemka, ndiya kunilungisela indawo; ukuba ke ndimkile ndaya kunilungisela indawo, ndiya kubuya ndize, ndinamkelele kum; ukuze apho ndikhona mna, nibe khona nani. Apho ke ndiya khona mna niyakwazi, nendlela niyayazi. Uthi uTomas kuye, Nkosi, asazi apho uya khona; singathini na ke ukuyazi indlela? ( Yohane 14:2-5 )

Umsebenzi kaEliya ngemihla yokugqibela lubizo lokugqibela lukaThixo lokubonisa indlela eya kumnyango wobomi. Ngaba ukhe wayibona loo mnyango? Njengoko besilandela umyalelo weNkosi ‘wokubheka phezulu’ ngenxa yokusondela kwentlawulelo yethu, siye sabona ii<em>comet ezintathu zinqumla kwikroza lewotshi elisemazulwini. Azikabikho zonke ezo ziphambuka, kodwa sizibonile kwizifundo zethu zezulu.

UYesu, omelwa ziicomet ezintathu uBB, K2, noE3, ngeendlela ezahlukahlukeneyo esizichaze kumanqaku angaphambili, unguMcango okhokelela kubomi obungunaphakade. Nangona kunjalo, uzibonakalisa ngokwaKhe njengeminyango emithathu, kanye njengokuba kukho iicomets ezintathu ezinqumla iwotshi. Ezi comets zintathu, ezisifundisa ngokuza kweNkosi yethu, zinamagama obugcisa kunye nezifinyezo esiziqhelileyo, kodwa zinamagama anentsingiselo ngakumbi ngokomoya awachazwa nguYesu:

Athi uYesu kuye, NdinguYehova indlela, le inyaniso, kwaye i ubomi: akukho bani uzayo kuBawo engezi ngam. ( Yohane 14:6 )

Oku kuphulaphula umzekelo womnquba wesingqino noyilo lwetempile yasezulwini, nayo eneengcango ezintathu ngokufanayo—zonke zimela uYesu.

Thixo, isebungcweleni indlela yakho; Ngubani na onguThixo omkhulu njengoThixo wethu? ( INdumiso 77:13 )

UThixo wayila ukuba iingcango zengcwele kunye nefanitshala enxulumene nayo engaphakathi kwegumbi ngalinye ziya kufanekisela umntu indlela yosindiso. Ubukho bukaThixo, ekungekho mntu unokusondela kubo ngaphandle kwesigqubuthelo sobulungisa bukaKristu, babukweyona ndawo ingcwele, ngaphaya kweengcango ezintathu apho umntu amelwe kukudlula phambi kokuba abe nako ukuma phambi kwakhe.

Oku kubonisa uhambo lomKristu ukuya kuBawo. Ukuhlolisisa olu hambo luneenxalenye ezintathu kuya kusinceda siqonde oko uThixo asibonisa kona emazulwini.

Umoni uza kuqala kumkhusane wangaphandle womnquba nedini lesono (ukukholwa kuYesu). Uyakuqonda ukungafaneleki kwakhe ukubona uThixo ngenxa yezono zakhe, eziya kuthi ke zicanyagushelwe ngumbingeleli osebenzayo othi, njengomfuziselo kaKristu, alamkele idini lakhe lokholo. Úgqitha umoni owokuqala kwiingcango ezintathu, eyifumene iNdlela.

Ngaphakathi kwintendelezo engaphakathi, lowo unqwenela ukumbona uBawo akakavunyelwa ukuba enjenjalo. Ngaphaya kwesibingelelo sedini ekutshiselwa kuso idini lakhe lesono—nto leyo efanekisela ukwamkelwa kwedini likaKristu endaweni yakhe—kukho isitya sokuhlambela: ichibi lamanzi abalisebenzisayo ababingeleli ukuhlambulula. Oku kumele ubhaptizo oluntywiliselwayo kuKristu, olusivumo lwasesidlangalaleni lolwamkelo lwedini likaKristu kunye nobhengezo lwasesidlangalaleni lokufa kwisono nokuphila ukuthembeka nokukhonza kuYe. Kuphela kusemva kokuba ehlanjiwe emanzini obhaptizo, ehlanjululwe lidini likaKristu, aze wanikwa izambatho ezintsha ezicocekileyo zobulungisa Bakhe, apho umoni anokuthi ngokufuziselayo angene ngomnyango kwindawo engcwele, ngokumelwa ngumbingeleli olungiselelayo.

Kwanasemva kokulandela uhambo lokomoya lokungena kwindawo engcwele, umoni akakavunyelwa ukuba ambone uThixo ngesiqu. Ngaphakathi kwendawo engcwele kukho itafile yezonka zokubonisa nesiphatho sezibane, nto leyo efanekisela ukungcwaliswa okwenziwa ngokuthatyathwa kwesonka semihla ngemihla selizwi likaThixo nokuhamba imihla ngemihla ngokukhanya koMoya oyiNgcwele okungasoze kucime. Ubudlelane bemihla ngemihla noThixo bufuziselwa ngumbingeleli onikela ivumba elimnandi kwisibingelelo sesiqhumiso kumnyango wesithathu nowokugqibela. Kuphela kube kanye ngonyaka umbingeleli omkhulu awayeya kungena ngaphaya kwalo mnyango, ebonisa inguqulelo yokugqibela esuka kweli hlabathi ukuya kwihlabathi elizayo, ngelo xesha abo babehlanjululwe, bangcwaliswa, nabahamba imihla ngemihla noThixo kulo mhlaba ngamandla okuthethelelwa kukaKristu ekugqibeleni babeya kuthi ekugqibeleni bamanyaniswe noThixo ngonaphakade.

Njengoko sisondela ekupheleni kwexesha, iNkosi, ngomoya kaEliya, ibonakalisa indlela ngale minyango, ephunyezwayo ngexesha leecomets. Ukungena kwe-BB kwiqela leenkwenkwezi zeHorologium ngokubanzi kwangqamana nokusa kombuzo wokugonya we-DNA. Ngokukodwa, yawela umda weenkwenkwezi kwangolo suku i-US^[9] ikhuphe isikhokelo echaza ukuba abaqeshi banokugunyazisa ngokukhululekileyo ukuba abasebenzi babo bagonyelwe i-Covid-19^[10]-enye yezona ndlela zinyanzeliswayo zokunyusa amazinga ogonyo, njengoko ichukumisa umgca osezantsi womntu.

Le comet ingqamana nomnyango owahlula intendelezo engaphandle (eyayinikwa abeeNtlanga) nentendelezo engaphakathi, eyayibizwa ngokuba “yiNdlela.” Abo bagcina i-DNA yabo ihlambulukile ngokuhlonipha uKristu ngabo bafumene "iNdlela" kwaye badlula kulo mnyango ngokholo, ngaphandle kokuphazamisa i-DNA yabo naphantsi koxinzelelo olunzima lwehlabathi. Banokungena entendelezweni yengcwele.

Ikhomethi elandelayo (i-K2) ingena kwikroza lewotshi ngoMatshi ka-2023, elingaphambili. Oku kumela uvavanyo olulandelayo amaKristu amele aluphumelele. Kumanqaku ethu, siye sanikela ukuqonda okuninzi ngeli xesha lexesha nezilingo ezisenokufikela abantu bakaThixo njengoko ihlabathi lisenza iinjongo zalo zobudemon. Siye saqaphela ukuba oku kungqamana nesikhalo sasezinzulwini zobusuku somzekeliso weentombi ezinyulu ezilishumi, njengoko silindele ukuba amaKristu amaninzi avuke kwiinyanga ezilandela ukuhamba kwe<em>comet imini yonke. Kodwa bangaphi abaya kuzingqina belumkile, belungiselela ioli eyaneleyo kusengaphambili? Abo baya kungena kumnyango wesibini: “iNyaniso.” Kuyafaneleka ukuba kuluhlu lwethu lwamanqaku malunga umnqophiso UThixo uye wahlaziya nabantu bakhe, apho ukunqumla kwewotshi le comet kufundwe ngokweenkcukacha, kukho nenqaku elithi Ukukhangela Kuyo Yonke Inyaniso. Lo mnyango wesikhalo sasezinzulwini zobusuku ufuzisela ukulungiswa okuhambele phambili kweoli yoMoya oyiNgcwele—emela ukulungisa ingqondo ngokugcina iNyaniso yelizwi likaThixo ukuze ngexesha lobunzima, ubani alungele ukukhanyisa ebudeni bomngcelele woMyeni. Abo baluphumeleleyo olu vavanyo (iintombi ezinyulu eziziingqondi) ngaloo ndlela bafumana ukungena ngokomoya kwindawo engcwele, apho isonka sikuko ifuzisela inyaniso abayifake ngaphakathi, nalapho isiphatho sesibane sifuzisela ukukhanya abaye banenxaxheba ekukuthululeni macala onke.

Ekugqibeleni kuzo zonke i-comet E3, efikelela kwiwotshi ngo-2024. Le comet ihambelana nomnyango obizwa ngokuba "uBomi," njengoko ibonisa ukuza kukaYesu ozisa kunye naye isipho sobomi obungunaphakade. Le comet ingena kwimida yeenkwenkwezi zewotshi kwisikhumbuzo sesibini sogqabhuko-dubulo lwaseHunga Tonga (ngoJanuwari 15, 2024), ityhila intsingiselo enzulu yoko uBawo waxela ngolo gqabhuko-dubulo lwentaba-mlilo olwaphula irekhodi. Abo banako ukudlula kulo mnyango bengadyobhekanga baya kusikelelwa baze ekugqibeleni bafumane ilungelo ekudala belilindile lokukwazi ukuma phambi koBawo.

Ke kaloku, kuye onako ukunigcina ningakhubekanokunimisa phambi kobuqaqawuli bakhe ningenabala, ninovuyo olugqithileyo. kuThixo olumkileyo yedwa, uMsindisi wethu, makubekho uzuko nobukhulu, amandla negunya, nangoku, kude kuse ephakadeni. Amen. ( Yude 1:24-25 )

Ixesha Lemfazwe

INkosi ithetha izinto ezininzi ngee-comets njengoko zilandela iindlela zazo ezithuleyo. Ngaphambi kokuba inkanyezi enomsila i-E3 ifike ewotshini, yaye kungekudala emva kokuba isondele emhlabeni, iya kudlula ngokuthe ngqo phakathi kweempondo zeTaurus ngoFebruwari 12, 2023, ngoxa idibene noMars, isijikelezi-langa semfazwe.

Le yiholo yokuthweswa isithsaba emazulwini, apho ubani unokulindela ukuba ibandla likaThixo lithweswe isithsaba, kodwa ngeli xesha, akukho mzimba wasezulwini obonisa ibandla. Kuthetha ntoni ubukho be-comet phakathi kweentsika? Ngaba oku kuya kuba sisiqalo semfazwe yokugqibela nxamnye nembewu yomfazi, njengoko isitsho kwiSityhilelo?

Yamqumbela umfazi inamba, yemka kuye yenza imfazwe kunye nentsalela ye imbewu yakhe, abo bayigcinayo imithetho kaThixo, abanobungqina bukaYesu Kristu. ( ISityhilelo 12:17 )

Imfazwe yokugqibela nxamnye nabantu bakaThixo iya kuba ngumbandela wobomi nokufa.

Lanikwa igunya lokuwunika umfanekiselo werhamncwa umoya, ukuze umfanekiselo werhamncwa elo uthethe nokuthetha; nenze ukuba bonke abasukuba bengawunquli umfanekiselo werhamncwa kufuneka abulawe. (ISityhilelo 13: 15)

Thandazela inkuselo kaThixo nobulumko bokuziphatha ngobulumko kwizinto zonke, njengomzekelo omnye ‘wembewu’ yasebukhosini ebhalwe eBhayibhileni njengethweswa isithsaba kwiholo yokubekwa etroneni ebudeni bexesha losukuzwano oluphathelele itrone yobukumkani:

Zema izigidimi, elowo ephethe iintonga zakhe esandleni, ngeenxa zonke kukumkani, zathabathela kwelokunene igxalaba lendlu zesa kwikona yasekhohlo yendlu, ngasesibingelelweni nangasendlwini. Wamkhuphela phandle unyana wokumkani, wamfaka isithsaba, wamnika isingqiniso; bamenza ukumkani, bamthambisa; baqhwaba izandla, bathi, Makadle ubomi ukumkani! Akusiva uAtaliya isandi sabalindi nesabantu, waya ebantwini endlwini kaNdikhoyo inkosi. Wakhangela, nanko ukumkani emi endaweni ephakamileyo ngokwesiko, abathetheli nabavutheli-maxilongo bengakukumkani, abantu bonke belizwe bevuya, bevuthela amaxilongo; uAtaliya wazikrazula iingubo zakhe, wadanduluka wathi, Licebo! (I-2 yooKumkani 11: 11-14)

Isityhilelo sicacile ukuba amagunya ehlabathi aya kulwa neMvana, kunye nabantu baYo. Ihlabathi aliyi kubavumela ukuba baphile abantu bakaThixo, kodwa uThixo uya kubalwela abantu bakhe. Mhlawumbi intshutshiso eqatha ngolo hlobo iya kuba yiyo ekugqibeleni ebangela isikhalo sasezinzulwini zobusuku ize ivuse abangcwele abaleleyo. Yonke into iya kwenzeka ngendlela yayo, isiganeko emva kwesinye, njengoko kwaprofetwayo kwiSityhilelo (ingakumbi isahluko se-19 nese-17), kunye ne<em>comet E3 (uBomi) imiselwe ukuba ibonise kungekuphela nje ukuza kukaYesu, kodwa ukuqala kwemfazwe yokugqibela nxamnye nomtshakazi wakhe.

Amagunya obungendawo afuna ukukhobokisa ihlabathi liphela, kodwa ulongamo lwabantu bakaThixo lumele lweme. Iya kuba lixesha lobunzima obukhulu, njengoko sele sibona ukuba kuza. Kufuneka sigcine isimo sengqondo sokuzincama njengoko kubonisiwe ngokudlula kwe-E3 esibingelelweni (iTaurus) inyanga enye ngaphambi kokukhala ezinzulwini zobusuku. Sineempawu ezininzi zesiprofeto ezibonakalisiweyo kwiinyanga eziya kulandela, kwaye kufuneka sihlale sikuphaphele ukubukela utshaba kwaye sikhusele uzuko lukaThixo njengoko unyaka wempindezelo usondela kwaye kuyo yonke imihla yawo. Kuphela abo bane igazi elimsulwa odlula kuzo zontathu iingcango ngokuthembeka uya kuba nako ukumbona uThixo.

Banoyolo abahlambulukileyo intliziyo; ngokuba baya kumbona uThixo bona. ( Mateyu 5:8 )

Qaphela ukuba xa umqondiso we-E3 kwiimpondo zenkunzi yenkomo usenzeka, oku kukwasisiqalo “somqheba” werhengqa esetyenziswa yiOrion kumdlalo wokugqibela. isivuno seediliya. Ngelixa i-comet E3 isiya ezantsi isenza irhengqe, i-comet K2 ivela kwisalathiso seyure yasezinzulwini zobusuku kubuso bewotshi kwaye iwela iindlela nge-E3:

Ekuqukunjelweni kwemihla yesikhumbuzo sesikhumbuzo seMvuzo kaYesu (Meyi 20-27) ngo-2023, u-E3 unqumla indlela ye-K2. Lowo ngunyaka kanye ngaphambi kwesiphelo, nto leyo ephawula iintsuku ezisi-7 + 365 zokugqibela ‘zemini kaYehova’ kaMalaki njengoko kuhlolisiswe ngaphambilana.

Ngoxa “umvundla” usenokubonakala usisilwanyana esingenakufane sibe nentsingiselo yokomoya, uMvundla umi ngaphantsi nje konyawo lukaOrion, nto leyo ebonisa ukoyisa kwawo njengotshaba, ngokufanayo nendlela amabali amangaphi awuchaza ngayo umntu ozingelwayo. Imele utshaba ngendlela enomtsalane, kwaye imi ngokugqibeleleyo ukuze isebenze njengesihlalo seenyawo zeNkosi:^[11] 

Kodwa yena lo, esondeze idini lalinye ngenxa yezono, usuke wahlala phantsi ngasekunene kukaThixo ngokungapheliyo; Okokugqibela elinde ukuba zide iintshaba zakhe zenziwe isihlalo seenyawo zakhe. ( Hebhere 10:12-13 )

Phawula indlela iBhayibhile elinxulumanisa ngayo idini likaYesu nempindezelo elindelweyo kwiintshaba Zakhe (emelwe ngumvundla ozingelwayo). Oku kuboniswa ezulwini ngu-E3 enqumla indlela ye-K2 eLepus kwisikhumbuzo sesikhumbuzo sedini likaYesu lesono, xa unyaka wokugqibela wembuyekezo uqalisa kwaye iintshaba Zakhe ziqalisa ukuva ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba sisihlalo seenyawo zeNkosi.

Ngaphaya koko, umvundla okhawulezayo ngokuqinisekileyo unokuba luphawu lokuba “iintshukumo ezikhawulezayo zokugqibela” ezaxelwa kudala ziya kuba sele zifikile nosuku (oko kukuthi unyaka) weNkosi.

Iintlekele zomhlaba kunye nolwandle, imeko engazinzanga yoluntu, izilumkiso zemfazwe, ziyamangalisa. Baqikelela ngeziganeko ezizayo ezizezona zininzi. Iiarhente zobubi zidibanisa amandla azo kwaye ziyazimanya. Basomeleza kwintlekele enkulu yokugqibela. Utshintsho olukhulu luza kwenzeka kungekudala kwihlabathi lethu, kwaye iintshukumo zokugqibela ziya kuba zezokukhawulezayo.—Ubungqina beBandla 9:11 (1909). {LDE 11.2}

Sele sizibonile iintlekele ezimangalisayo. Sele sizibonile ii-arhente zobubi zidibanisa. Sele silubonile utshintsho olukhulu kwihlabathi lethu. Yintoni eseleyo, kodwa iintshukumo ZOKUGQIBELA-oko kuthetha iintshukumo "zokugqibela", ezifana nezo zesilwanyana esifayo. Ngamanye amazwi, sisiPHELO sehlabathi njengoko sisazi.

UMmangaliso weOli

Ngexesha, sele sidlulile umnyango omnye kwingcwele yasezulwini-umnyango obizwa ngokuba yiNdlela eyavulwa ngo-2021 njengoko izigunyaziso zokugonywa komqeshi zakhanyiswa ngokuluhlaza xa uComet BB engena eHorologium. Iingcango ezimbini eziseleyo zivula indlela eya kwixesha elitsha lexesha elingcwele. Nje ukuba ucango luvulwe, i-comet K2 ibetha ngokukhawuleza iyure yasezinzulwini zobusuku ewotshini.

Ke kaloku phakathi kobusuku kwabakho umemezo, Nanko umyeni esiza; phumani niye kumkhawulela. ( Mateyu 25:6 )

Olu cango lwesibini lucango lweNyaniso, oluya kuvuleka xa uK2 engena eHorologium ekuqaleni kukaMatshi. Ayiphelelanga nje ekuqubisaneni nayo, kodwa ixesha lifutshane kakhulu ukusukela ngoku kude kube yimini yeNkosi iqala ngoMeyi ka-2023. umzuzu wenyaniso kusele iinyanga ezimbalwa.

Abo balandela uEliya endleleni yokucanyagushelwa ngoBawo kufuneka bangene kuzo zontathu iingcango zengcwele eqhelekileyo. UmKristu akanako ukwaneliseka ayeke ukuhamba nokukhula noKristu. Kufuneka siqhubeke sihamba naye sinokholo kumnyango ngamnye asikhokelela kuwo, kungenjalo siya kwahlulwa kuye. Abanjalo ke banokuchanabeka kwiinkohliso ezinamandla zamaxesha enkohliso esiphila kuwo.

Nangenxa yoko, uThixo uya kubathumela ulahlekiso olusebenza ngamandla, ukuze bakholwe bubuxoki; ukuze bagwetywe bonke abangakholwanga yiyo inyaniso, basuka bakholiswa kuko ukungalungisi. ( 2 Tesalonika 2:11-12 )

Amava entshukumo yeMillerite kwiminyaka yoo-1800 anika ukukhanya kwindlela enokwenzeka ngayo loo nto, kuba uYesu ngokwakhe wangena kwiingcango ezintathu ezifuziselayo zengcwele njengoMbingeleli wethu oMkhulu noManduleli. Weza njengoMntu emhlabeni, waza ngaloo ndlela wangena entendelezweni, apho Walinikela khona idini laKhe.

Njengokuba wandithuma ehlabathini, nam ndibathume bona ehlabathini. ( Yohane 17:18 )

UmKristu kufuneka amlandele ngokholo kumnyango olandelayo. Emva kokuba enyukele ezulwini, wayisungula ingcwele yasezulwini, apho kangangeenkulungwane (njengoko kunamava emhlabeni), walungiselela ngoMoya wakhe kwindawo engcwele, ebasulungekisa abantu bakhe ngenyaniso yeLizwi lakhe.

Ngenxa yabo ke ndiyazingcwalisa mna, ukuze nabo babe ngabangcwalisiweyo yinyaniso. ( Yohane 17:19 )

Njengoko intshukumo yeAdvent yayiqala, uYesu wadlula ngomnyango wesithathu kwiNgcwele. Lo mbono ulandelayo, owafunyanwa ngexesha lamava kaMillerite, uchaza ukwahlukana okwenzeka kwindawo engcwele xa uYesu wenza olo tshintsho oluya kwingcwele yeengcwele:

Ndabona itrone, ekuhleli kuyo uYise noNyana. Ndabujonga ubuso bukaYesu kwaye ndancoma umntu wakhe othandekayo. Andizange ndikwazi ukumbona umntu kaBawo, kuba ilifu lokukhanya eliqaqambileyo lamgubungela. Ndambuza uYesu ukuba uYise wayenemo efana naYe. Wathi Wayenako, kodwa andizange ndikwazi ukumbona, kuba wathi, “Ukuba nithe nabubona ubuqaqawuli bobuntu Bakhe, aniya kuphinda nibekho.” Phambi kwetrone ndabona abantu beAdvent-ibandla kunye nehlabathi. Ndabona iinkampani ezimbini, omnye waqubuda phambi kwetrone, enomdla ngokunzulu, ngoxa omnye wema engakhathali yaye engakhathali. Abo baqubuda phambi kwetrone babeya kwenza imithandazo yabo baze bakhangele kuYesu; emva koko wayeya kukhangela kuYise, kwaye abonakale emcenga. Ukukhanya kwakuza kuvela kuYise kuye kuNyana kwaye ukusuka kuNyana ukuya kwiqela elithandazayo. Ndaza ndabona ukukhanya okuqaqambileyo okugqithiseleyo kuphuma kuYise kuzisa kuNyana, kwaye kuvela kuNyana kwakutshangatshangisa phezu kwabantu abaphambi kwetrone. Kodwa bambalwa ababeza kufumana oku kukhanya kukhulu. Baphuma abaninzi phantsi kwawo, baxhathisa kwaoko; abanye ke basuka balutyeshela ukhanyiso, lwasuka lwemka kubo. Abanye babeyixabisile, baye baqubuda kunye neqela elincinane elithandazayo. Eli qela lakwamkela ukukhanya, lavuya kuko, bathi nobuso balo babengezela bubuqaqawuli balo. {EW 54.2}

Phawula ukuba kulo mhlathi ungasentla, la maqela mabini achazwe esenza ukhetho lwawo. Bayakwazi ukufumana okanye ukukugatya ukukhanya ngelo xesha, okuhambelana nexesha kwindawo engcwele (njengoko kuya kubonakala kumhlathi olandelayo). Kodwa lwakuba lwenzekile utshintsho oluya kweyona ndawo ingcwele, la maqela mabini ayahlukana ngonaphakade. Akukho macala aguqukayo emva koko kwenzeka kwindawo engcwele!

Ndambona uBawo ephakama etroneni, ekhwele inqwelo yomlilo ngena kwingcwele kangcwele uhlale phantsi kwesigqubuthelo, uhlale phantsi. Waphakama uYesu etroneni, yaza nento eninzi yababethobile yesuka kunye naye. Khange ndibone imitha yokukhanya idlula isuka kuYesu isiya kwisihlwele esingakhathaliyo emva kokuba evukile, kwaye bashiywe kubumnyama obugqibeleleyo. Abo bavukayo xa uYesu ephumileyo, bawagcina amehlo abo ethe ntsho kuYe njengoko wayeshiya itrone waza wabakhokelela ngaphandle umganyana. Waze Wayiphakamisa ingalo yaKhe yasekunene, saze seva ilizwi laKhe elithandekayo lisithi, “Yima apha; Ndiyemka ndiya kuBawo, ukuze ndibuthabathe ubukumkani; gcina iingubo zakho zingenasisihla, Liselilifutshane ixesha, ndibuya emsithweni, ndinamkelele kum ngokwam. Kwandula ke inqwelo yokulwa enamafu, inamavili afana nomlilo odangazelayo, ijikelezwe zizithunywa zezulu, yeza apho uYesu akhoyo. Wangena enqwelweni wathwalwa wasiwa kweyona ndawo ingcwele, apho kwahlala khona uBawo. Apho ndabona uYesu, uMbingeleli oMkhulu, emi phambi koBawo. Emqukumbelweni wengubo yakhe kwakukho inkenteza nerharnate, inkenteza nerharnati. Abo bavuka kunye noYesu baya kuluthumela kuye ukholo lwabo kweyona ngcwele, kwaye uthandaze, “Bawo wam, siphe uMoya wakho.” Emva koko uYesu wayebaphefumlela uMoya oyiNgcwele. Kuloo moya kwakukho ukukhanya, namandla, nothando oluninzi, uvuyo noxolo.

Ndijike ndajonga kule nkampani isaqubuda phambi kwetrone [kwindawo engcwele]; babengazi ukuba uYesu uyishiyile. USathana wabonakala ehleli etroneni, ezama ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi kaThixo. Ndababona bejonge phezulu etroneni, bethandaza, “Bawo, siphe uMoya wakho.” USathana wayeya kwandula ke aphefumlele phezu kwabo impembelelo engengcwele; kwakukho ukukhanya namandla amaninzi, kodwa kungekho thando lumnandi, uvuyo, noxolo. Injongo kaSathana yayikukubagcina belahlekiswa kwaye bahlehle baze balahlekise abantwana bakaThixo. {EW 55.1-56.1}

Njengoko ubona, ixesha eliqinisekileyo losindiso likwindawo engcwele, ehambelana neenyanga phakathi kwesikhalo sasezinzulwini zobusuku ngoMatshi de i-comet E3 ingene kweyona ndawo ingcwele ngoJanuwari 2024. Akukho xesha lininzi eliseleyo, kodwa kweli gumbi letempile kukho isiphatho sesibane esinika ukukhanya kwenyaniso. Kuphela kusemva kokuba iNkosi isivulele umnyango wesithathu apho umanyano luya kuqala njengoko Yathembisayo:

Andiceleli ke aba bodwa, ndicelela nabo baya kukholwa kum ngelizwi labo; ukuze bonke babe banye; njengokuba wena, Bawo, ukum, mna ndikuwe, ukuze nabo babe banye kuthi; ukuze ihlabathi likholwe ukuba wena wandithuma. Uzuko owandinika lona, ​​ndilunike bona; ukuze babe banye, njengokuba thina sibanye; mna ndikubo, wena ukum, ukuze babe ngabazalisekileyo ntweni-nye; ukuze liqonde ihlabathi ukuba wena undithumile, wabathanda, njengokuba wandithandayo nam. ( Yohane 17:20-23 )

UYesu wayethandazela ukuba ungene kwiingcango zengcwele—inkqubo yokucamagushela esinokuthi ngayo simanyane noBawo ngoKristu. Abanye bethu bebefunda oku kukhanya iminyaka emininzi, kodwa abaninzi abayi kuba nayo iminyaka; baya kuba neenyanga nje.

Njengoko ndakubonayo oko simele sibe kuko ukuze sizuze ilifa uzuko, ndaza ndabona ukuba uYesu wayebandezeleke kangakanani ukuze asizuzele ilifa elityebe kangaka, ndathandazela ukuba sibhaptizelwe kwiimbandezelo zikaKristu, ukuze singabi semngciphekweni wokulingwa, kodwa sizithwale ngomonde nangovuyo, sisazi oko uYesu wabandezelekayo ukuze thina ngobuhlwempu neembandezelo zakhe sibe nobutyebi. Yathi ingelosi, “Zincame; kufuneka uhambe ngokukhawuleza. Abanye bethu baye banexesha lokufumana inyaniso nelokuqhubela phambili inyathelo ngenyathelo, yaye inyathelo ngalinye esilithabileyo liye lasinika amandla okuthabatha elinye. Kodwa ngoku ixesha selisondele, kwaye into ebesiyifunda iminyaka, kuya kufuneka bafunde kwiinyanga ezimbalwa. Kwakhona baya kuba nokuninzi abafanele bakufunde yaye kuninzi ekufuneka bakufunde kwakhona. abo bangalwamkelanga uphawu lwerhamncwa, nomfanekiso walo, xa uthe waphuma ummiselo; Kufuneka ube nesigqibo ngoku sokuthi, Hayi, asiyi kulihlonela igunya lerhamncwa. {EW 67.2}

Umba weli nqaku wamkelwa ngexesha lesidlo sezibane, etempileni kaThixo ngeSabatha, Disemba 24, 2022 (uBubusuku bangaphambi kweKrisimesi yehlabathi). Wakubona kufanelekile ukuba akhanyisele abantu bakhe “ukukhanya, amandla, nothando oluninzi, uvuyo noxolo” kubantu Bakhe ngaloo mini, yaye njengoko ngamnye wenu elandela umnyango weNyaniso ukususela ngoMatshi wowama-2023, niya kuba nethuba lokungenelwa kukukhanya kwesibane esikwindawo engcwele nize nitye isonka senyaniso esilungiselelwe phezu kwetafile yesonka somboniso. Kodwa “zincame; kufuneka uhambe ngokukhawuleza. Yenza isigqibo sokuhamba ngokholo ngelixa unako.

Ngoko, ngamnye makasebenzise amathuba akho ngokuzele ngakumbi ukuze afikelele abanye ngenyaniso, ngoxa yona inokufunyanwa. Amaxesha aya kuba nzima ngakumbi, kodwa umvuzo ngokwemigaqo yemiphefumlo kubukumkani bukaThixo nawo uya kwanda ngenxa yokuba imbandezelo eyongeziweyo ngokuqinisekileyo iya kuvula amehlo abantu abaninzi ababengekaqondi xa ihlabathi liphela. Abaninzi bebesenza umlinganiswa wobuKristu ukulungiselela eli xesha. Uguqulelo olungasemva lomzila wemfuza wobomi kubantu bakaThixo sele luphantse luphelele; kuya kudlula phambi kokuba kuqale imithendeleko yasentwasahlobo. Njengoko kuchaziwe kwi UKristu kuWe, uMfuzo wozuko, ekubuyiseleni i-gene yobomi, i-triplet yokugqibela ukuba ibhalwe ngowokuqala: i-1841-1843 triplet, ebonisa ukunyakaza kweMillerite kunye nokukhala phakathi kobusuku.

Ngoko ke, kufanelekile ukuba sicinge ngaloo minyaka size sithelekise amava ayo noko siza kujamelana nako. Xa umnyango weNyaniso uvulwa ngoMatshi ka-2023, abo bakulungeleyo baya kukwazi ukungena apho—abo bathe, njengeentombi ezinyulu eziziingqondi, baye babumba ubuntu bobuKristu. Ngelixa silapha emhlabeni, kufuneka sizame ukuba phakathi kwelo nani lineDNA kaKristu ebhalwe kubuntu babo.

Masizame ngamandla onke uThixo asinike wona ukuba sibe phakathi kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine lamawaka. {Mar 241.9}

Ixesha loko kuzama ngoku. Isikhalo sasezinzulwini zobusuku somzekeliso weentombi ezilishumi siqalisa xa ucango lweNyaniso luvulwa. Kwakhona, kukho amaqela amabini. Ezinye iintombi ezinyulu zazinokukhanya (ioyile) engumxholo wommangaliso weHanukkah, kunye namanqaku ethu. Kodwa abanye, nangona beshumayela, abafuni ukulandela ukukhanya kukaThixo kwaye izibane zabo ziya kucinywa. Endaweni yoko baya kukhokelwa yimbonakalo yokukhanya evela kutshaba lwemiphefumlo, ethengwe kubathengisi abangenakuthenjwa bobusuku. Eli lixesha esingena kulo, ke mayibe nyulu kwaye ivuleleke intliziyo yakho ukuze ujike ukhanyiselwe nguBawo, ukuze ungazifumani usebumnyameni ngemini enkulu neyoyikekayo yeNkosi.

Iindaba ezilungileyo kwabo bangazilungiselelanga kukuba ummangaliso weoli uthembisa ukukhanya kanye ngeli xesha. Ioyile yeentsuku ezisibhozo yayifuneka, kodwa yayifumaneka ngosuku olunye kuphela. Imfuneko yile: kufuneka ukhanyise isiphatho sesibane sakho ngeoli engcwele ngokholo, nokuba kubonakala kunganelanga ukugcina ixesha elifunekayo. Yenza okusemandleni akho, nokuba kubonakala ngathi awusenako ukwenza enye ngomso. Thabatha inyaniso kwaye ukhanyise ukukhanya kwakho, nokuba awuyiqondi yonke into. Njengoko kubonisiwe ngokuphindaphindiweyo, abo banokholo kuThixo baya kuxhaswa. UThixo uya kuyisikelela yonke imigudu enyanisekileyo yokwabelana ngokukhanya kwaKhe.
