Imbali yembali isixelela ukuba kwakumalunga no-AD 90 xa iimfihlelo zokugqibela zikaThixo, eziqulathe undoqo wekamva lomntu, zatyhilwa kumpostile oyintanda kaYesu, uYohane. Malunga namawaka amabini eminyaka yayiya kudlula ngaphambi kokubuya koMtyhili, uYesu, kwaye abantu bafanele ukukholwa xa izinto zisenzeka.^[1] ngoko ezi zityhilelo zaboniswa kumpostile uYohane ngendlela efuziselayo ngokupheleleyo phezu kophahla lwezulu. Izizukulwana ezininzi ziye zakwazi ukutolika ezinye zezilumkiso zaza zafikelela enguqukweni, kodwa sisizukulwana sokugqibela kuphela esasiya kukwazi ukuzicacisa. zonke imifuziselo—ngemihla yokugqibela xa izinto zenzekile ngokwenene yaye unyana wentshabalalo sele ityhiliwe.^[2] Benale ngqiqo ipheleleyo ngemizuzu yokugqibela yobabalo lukaThixo, babeza kufika elukholweni phakathi kwehlabathi eliwexukileyo ngokupheleleyo, kuba ngaphandle kokholo akukho bani unokuma phambi koMgwebi Omkhulu.^[3] 

Imbali yoluntu, ukususela ekufikeni kokuqala kukaYesu ukuya kutsho kwixesha elingenammiselo, yabhalwa ngendlela yobukhazikhazi ngumbhali onyulwe nguThixo, njengenkoliso yeencwadi zeziprofeto zeBhayibhile. Ulandelelwano olubalisayo lwe-chiasm lufana nomzila womkhweli onyuka kwelinye icala lentaba, afikelele encotsheni, aze kamva ehle kwelinye icala. Ekuhleni, udlula imimandla yokuphakama efanayo (izihloko) kwakhona ngendlela echaseneyo aze afunde ngakumbi malunga nommandla ngamnye. Ulwazi olungaphelelanga lupheleliswa ekwehleni. Intshukumo yethu ilandela indlela esekwe kubulumko bukaThixo.^[4] 

Eyona nxalenye ivuyisayo yomboniso weziganeko zexesha lokuphela, apho onke amehlo ezidalwa ezikrelekrele zendalo iphela zijongiswe.^[5] ezithi ngenxa yoko ziwubambe umoya wazo izithunywa zezulu ezisemazulwini;^[6] kwenzeka ngexesha lokunyuka kunye nokuhla kwindawo yokufa kunye nomnqamlezo wengqungquthela embindini, xa umkhweli odiniweyo efikelela kwincopho yephulo lakhe. Isiphelo sabalinganiswa abaphambili kule ncwadi sigqitywa ngexesha lokuzama kwabo okukhulu, kwaye kwimeko yeSityhilelo, oko kubandakanya lonke uluntu. Lixesha lamangqina aphilayo nomgwebo wawo.^[7] 

Yonke into ixhomekeke kumangqina esibini eSityhilelo 11 ekugwetyweni koThixo uBawo, owanyanzelwa ukuba angene enqanaweni ngesityholo sobuxoki sikaSathana sokuba akukho bani unokuthobela imithetho Yakhe “engekho sikweni,” nokuba wonk’ ubani uya kulamkela ihlabathi likaSathana lokuchasa umthetho olonakalisayo ngaphezu kwendalo iphela kaThixo yothando lokuzincama. Kufuneka beze ubungqina bokuba msulwa kukaThixo ngokulandela umzekelo weNgqina elithembekileyo lokuqala, uYesu, nangokubonisa ukuthanda kwawo ukuthobela, phezu kwako nje ukuzincama okubandakanyekileyo. UYesu nguManduleli^[8] bala mangqina kaYise, naye omele alungele ukuzisa idini elifana nelo loNyana kaThixo, aze ngaloo ndlela axelise umzekelo Wakhe omkhulu.

Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Lowo ukholwayo kum, imisebenzi endiyenzayo mna, uya kuyenza naye yena; nemikhulu kunale uya kuyenza; ngokuba mna ndisiya kuBawo. ( Yohane 14:12 )

Xa uJohn Scotram wabuza uThixo ngoMatshi 28, 2003 ngenyaniso enye phakathi kokubhideka kobuxoki obuphikisanayo behlabathi eliwileyo, uYesu waphendula ephupheni ngombuzo ophikisanayo: “Ngaba uyafuna ukwazi inyaniso? Nokuba zithini iindleko?” UYesu wambuza lo mbuzo izihlandlo ezithathu, yaye izihlandlo ezithathu igama lompostile uYohane laphendula ngokugqiba kwelokuba “Ewe, Nkosi! Nokuba kubiza malini na!” Ngaloo nto, wafumana umyalelo kuYesu owamkhokelela kukholo lwama-Adventist, kwaye kwiminyaka esixhenxe kamva, ngokomzekelo womprofeti uHezekile,^[9] wabizelwa ukuhambisa izitshixo zokuqonda isityhilelo sikaYesu, okokuqala kwiBandla lama-Adventist, kwaye emva koko kwihlabathi liphela. Njengoko uYohane owayephila ngelo xesha wayejongile, uMtyhili weTywina oMkhulu waqhekeza amatywina asixhenxe encwadi ebizwa ngolo hlobo, ebhenca amaphepha angaphakathi encwadi, leyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ebenokufundwa nje phezulu.^[10] 

Kangangeminyaka esixhenxe, wayelungiselelwa uthumo lwakhe njengoHezekile, waza wafumana isondlo kwiLizwi likaThixo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele njengoEliya kumlambo iKidron. Kwiminyaka esixhenxe elandelayo, ukusuka kuDisemba 2009 ukuya kuNovemba 2016, wayeza kuhambisa isiluleko soBunene beNdalo kwihlabathi elingakholwayo labahlekisayo abachasayo. Amatye kaThixo. Wakwenza oko uHezekile elele kwicala elinye, waza walungisa imana yasezulwini phezu “kobulongwe benkomo” befama yakhe eParaguay. I Umyalezo weOrion kwaye i Isitya Sexesha, Abagcini-xesha abakhulu bokugqibela bakaThixo, zanikelwa eluntwini ngababhali abane abanyulwa nguThixo njengababhali abane beVangeli, nabadanduluka entlango njengoYohane uMbhaptizi.

Bambalwa kakhulu abazamkelayo iimfundiso kuloo minyaka isixhenxe baza bazimanya nenyaniso, kuba inyaniso ekwakufuneka bayiphindaphinde la madoda kaThixo ifika ngexabiso eliphezulu, awayesele elishumayele uYesu kwiindlebe ezingevayo:

Nguwo lo umthetho wam, wokuba nithandane, njengoko ndanithandayo nina. Akukho namnye unalo uthando olungaphezu kolu; nokuba umntu ancamele izihlobo zakhe umphefumlo wakhe. (UYohane 15: 12-13)

Abo balandela i inyama yegusha naphi na apho aya khona^[11] Bazimisele ukuba bucinywe ubomi babo encwadini, kanye njengoko wanikelayo uMoses kwakanye, ukuze aboni bafumane ubabalo kuThixo ophuphuma umsindo, uSomandla.^[12] 

Impendulo kumbuzo kaYesu othi, “Ngaba ndiya kulufumana ukholo xa ndibuya?”^[13] inikelwa kwincopho yembali yoluntu. Ngoko ke, endleleni eya kwincopho yeNcwadi yeSityhilelo—kwincopho yeNtaba iKiasmos, encotsheni yomnqamlezo—amangqina ali-144,000 XNUMX ema ehlanganisene neMvana, ngamxhelo-mnye naqinisekileyo ewuphendula umbuzo wokukulungela kwawo ukunikela, ukuyilandela ngokwenene iMvana nokubonakalisa uthando lokwenyaniso. UYesu ukhangela abo balungele ukuvuma ingoma kaMoses:^[14] ingoma yokuvuma ukubeka kwanobomi bukabani obungunaphakade esibingelelweni sedini ngenxa yokuthanda abantu abantliziyo zilukhuni nabavukelayo.^[15] “Ukuthanda iintshaba zakho” kwenziwa ngokukulungela kukabani ukuzincama ngenxa yazo. “Nokuba yiyiphi na indleko!”

Yingoma yeMvana kaThixo, enokufundwa kuphela ngabo bahlambulukileyo intliziyo nabangazingcolisi ngamabandla alungelelanisiweyo, angawo onke.^[16] ecula iculo le-UN Human Rights.^[17] Lo ngumbono oyintloko wembali yoluntu, yaye idinga kwabo banokufunda le ngoma kukuba babe ngamangqina kaThixo anyuliweyo ali-144,000 XNUMX.

kuba iminyaka esixhenxe, uJohn Scotram kunye nabo bamthelelayo benyuka indlela engumnqantsa namatye ukuya kule ncopho belindele umbono ozukileyo nokuxwilelwa kwiNtaba kaThixo kwiYerusalem yasezulwini. Kunoko, bawufumana umnqamlezo, njengoko yayiwufumene ngaphambili iNkosi yabo. Ngaba babeza kunikezela baze batyumke phantsi kobunzima bentiyo nokugculelwa ngabanye abantu, okanye ngaba babeya kuphethukela kwelinye icala baze babandezeleke eminye “imihla engama-40,” njengomprofeti othobelayo uHezekile?

Ngomhla wama-22 ku-Okthobha 2016, bema encotsheni yeNtaba yeXesha, bawubona umnqamlezo osencotsheni, baza bakhumbula Lowo wayekhe wajinga emnqamlezweni eGolgotha. Iyure yesigqibo wayezile.

Ndabona, nantso iMvana imi phezu kwentaba yeZiyon, kumi nayo ikhulu elinamanci mane anesine lamawaka, bephethe. igama likaYise ebhalwe emabunzini abo. ( ISityhilelo 14:1 )

Babenetywina likaThixo^[18] emabunzini abo, ngenxa yegama elitsha likaYesu^[19] sele ityhilwe kubo ngo-2010, kwaye kamsinya emva koko igama likaThixo uYise, elaziwa libandla laseFiladelfiya kuphela. Amagama amele iimpawu, kunye UThixo akalothando nje oko kwakutyhilwe kubo njengoko babehamba kwindawo yokufa yentaba.

Babelandela i ilizwi likaThixo Isandi sivela ezweni lamanzi amaninzi, ezweni lohadi, eParaguay.

Ndeva izwi liphuma ezulwini, ngathi sisandi samanzi amaninzi, ngathi sisandi sendudumo enkulu, ndaza ndeva isandi sababethi beehadi bebetha iihadi zabo: ( ISityhilelo 14: 2 )

Babeliqonda iculo namazwi engoma entsha.

Bavuma ingoma entsha, phambi kwetrone, naphambi kwezinto eziphilileyo zone, namadoda amakhulu; kwaye kungekho namnye unako ukuyifunda ingoma leyo, lingelilo ikhulu elinamanci mane anesine lamawaka, ababethengiwe emhlabeni. ( ISityhilelo 14:3 )

Bayishiya intlambo enzulu nengumgxobhozo yemibutho yecawa yaseRoma yaye ngaloo ndlela baba ziintombi ezinyulu emehlweni kaThixo. Bayilandela iMvana ukuya kwi-Orion Nebula kwiNgcwele kaNgcwele, kwaye xa babegqobhoza kwigquma lelifu, babona amazulu avulekile.

Aba ngabo bangadyobhekanga ngabafazi; ngokuba banyulu. Aba ngabo bayilandelayo iMvana apho isukuba isiya khona. Aba bathengwa bephuma ebantwini, baziintlahlela kuye uThixo nakuyo iMvana. ( ISityhilelo 14:4 )

Bathengwa ngegazi leMvana, abathi ngalo balungiselelwa ukunikela kwanobomi babo obungunaphakade, ukuba lwaluya kuzisa umphefumlo omnye kuphela kwitrone kaThixo.

Phezulu encotsheni, nangona kunjalo, bayibona inyaniso eyoyikekayo kanye phambi kokuxwilwa kwabo ... babengaphelelanga! Ngo-Oktobha 22, 2016, iintsuku ezimbini ngaphambi kokuba uYesu, Lowo Ungxwelerhiweyo, wayefanele ukuba afike, kwakukho abambalwa kuphela abasindileyo kwiqela labakhweli, ababenokuyoyisa iNtaba yaseChiasmus. Izigidi zamalungu eqela lentambo ukusuka kuluhlu lweSeventh-day Adventists sele zijikile emva Iimitha ezimbalwa zokuqala, kwaye abanye abade bafikelela kwindawo yokufa kwindawo yokuphakama kwe-altitude marker ngo-2015 baye bawela ngokungenamandla kwiNtlambo yeSin. Encotsheni yethafa, ngaphambi nje komnqamlezo wencopho, abalandeli bakaKora bakreqiwe, bekholelwa ukuba babelahlekisiwe yaye indlela yayikude ngakumbi. Balujikisa amehlo abo kuYesu, yaye ngaloo nto, ukukhanya kwesiprofeto okwakutyhile indlela kude kube ngoku kwacinywa. Bakhubeka baza bawela enzonzobileni.

IsiTyhilelo sesi-7 sichaza lo mbono, uThixo awawubonayo ngenxa yokwazi kwakhe izinto zonke. Ixubusha ngale meko iyingxaki kwisicwangciso sikaThixo—esokuba inani labali-144,000 XNUMX lalingekafikelelwa ngokupheleleyo ngexesha elimisiweyo, nangona lalisele lifikile ixesha lokugqitywa komsebenzi. Ukulibaziseka kufuneka kunikwe nguThixo uBawo ukuze kufikelelwe kwinani elipheleleyo lamangqina...

Ndaza emva koko ndabona izithunywa zezulu ezine, zimi kwiimbombo zone zomhlaba, zibambe imimoya yomine yomhlaba, ukuze kungavuthuzi moya phezu komhlaba, naphezu kolwandle, nakuwuphi na umthi. Ndabona esinye isithunywa sezulu, sinyuka siphuma empumalanga, sinetywina likaThixo ophilileyo; Musani ukuwonakalisa umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi, side sibatywine abakhonzi boThixo wethu emabunzini abo. (Isityhilelo 7: 1-3)

Umbono wompostile uYohane usinika inkcazelo eneenkcukacha yeemeko ezingqonge lo mbono. Imfazwe—umoya—iya isiba qatha ngakumbi imfazwe yehlabathi kwiimbombo zone zomhlaba. Le mfazwe sele iza kuqhambuka, kodwa imele irhoxiswe ukuze ukutywinwa kugqitywe.

Le ngcaciso ikwenza kucace ukuba ngaxa lithile, ucwangciso lukaThixo lumele lube sikubonise ilibazisekile. Kufuneka kubekho ixesha elithile phakathi kweziganeko zexesha lesiphelo xa simi phambi kwamarhe akhwazayo nacacileyo emfazwe yehlabathi ethi ihlehliswe kuphela ngommangaliso wobuthixo. Lo mboniso webhayibhile ubaluleke kakhulu kangangokuba waziswa kumthunywa weNkosi kubantu bama-Adventist kwimibono emibini eyongezelelweyo...^[20] 

“Izithunywa zezulu ezine” zazisele ziza kuwugqiba umsebenzi wazo, kodwa kufika enye ingelosi ize izicele ukuba zikubekele elinye ixesha ukukhululwa kwemimoya emine, ukuze inani labo batywiniweyo ligqitywe. Oku kuphakamisa lo mbuzo: Ngaba uyalazi iqela labantu abazalisekisa, okanye abazalisekisa, esi siprofeto? Ukuba kunjalo, ngoko umfumene umvakalisi wenene wesigidimi seNgelosi yesine. Noko ke, inani labo kusafuneka lizaliswe, yaye inani labo li-144,000 XNUMX. Usenokuba ngomnye wabo!

Amanqaku ale webhusayithi ajongana nokuzaliseka kweso siprofeto, ukwenziwa kokulibaziseka idini laseFiladelfiya emva kweminyaka esixhenxe yenkonzo kwisigidimi seNgelosi yesine, nesandi sokugqibela selizwi amaxilongo kaThixo. Apha uya kufunda ukuba abantu babelungiselelwa njani ukukhonza kwakhona iminyaka “esixhenxe” engenamandla, ukuba uThixo angabanika uRakeli, ibandla laKhe elihle, elinyulu.

Ingelosi kaThixo-uYesu, ikhwezi lokusa, Alnitak^[21]—iphakamisa itywina loThixo ophilayo kwimpuma yasezulwini, apho iQela leOrion limi kunye neOrion Nebula, ize ilinikele okokugqibela kubo bonke abo baguqukayo. UnguLowo usazibambileyo iingelosi ezine, okanye ababhengezi besigidimi seNgelosi yeSine, ukuba baqhubele phambili umsebenzi wamangqina esibini kwisiTyhilelo 11 ukuya ekugqityweni nasekuthumeleni izibetho emhlabeni.^[22] nanini na befuna.^[23] 

UYesu, ethethelela njengoMbingeleli oMkhulu kwingcwele yasezulwini phambi kwetrone kaThixo uYise, ubayalela ukuba bathelele kubizo Lwakhe lokubamba nokukhumbula idini Lakhe—igazi Lakhe. Ngasinye kwezi ngelosi zine, ezifanekiselwa ziinkwenkwezi ezine ezingaphandle zeQela leOrion, iwotshi kaThixo yehlabathi, imele “ibambe” okokugqibela. Akukho nto inokuvunyelwa ukuba ithintele ukutywinwa kwamalungu alahlekileyo e-144,000. Kwaye noko, amaxilongo amelwe kukufikelela kwinzaliseko yawo, ukuze abaninzi bavuke baze babeke phantsi kwebhanile edyojwe ligazi lika-Imanuweli.

Ngoku ke ixesha lokuvuna, xa, kwincwadi yeSityhilelo, umpostile uYohane ebona uYesu ehleli kwilifu elimhlophe. UJohn Scotram wabhaptiza ifama yakhe eseParaguay “iFama yeLifu eliMhlophe” emva phayaa ngo-2005, njengendawo yokusebenzela uThixo awayemnike yona. Kulapho ikhula khona ingqolowa elungileyo, embewu yakhe yawa emhlabeni ochumileyo, yaye kulapho ke uvimba kufuneka ukuhlanganiselwa khona.^[24] 

Ndakhangela, nanko ilifu elimhlophe, efini apho kuhleli ofana noNyana woMntu, enesithsaba segolide entloko, ephethe irhengqa elibukhali esandleni sakhe. Kwaphuma esinye isithunywa sezulu etempileni, sidanduluka ngezwi elikhulu kulowo uhleli efini, sisithi, Lifake irhengqa lakho, uvune; ngokuba lifikile ilixa lokuba uvune; ngokuba isivuno sehlabathi sivuthiwe. Lowo uhleli efini waliphosa irhengqa lakhe emhlabeni; wavunwa ke umhlaba. ( ISityhilelo 14:14-16 )

Phakamisani iintloko zenu nisebenze kunye nathi njengabavuni! Umvuzo wabasebenzi beyure yeshumi elinanye uya kuqiniseka kuwe, kodwa kuphela ukuba uyayithanda inyaniso ... nokuba yintoni na indleko!
