Lapho isigijimi se-Orion sinyatheliswa okokuqala ngo-2010, lokho okwakwenzeka kwakuyoba impendulo yombuzo omkhulu kakhulu wokuba khona kwesintu: kuze kube nini? Kusukela kumuntu ongakholelwa kuNkulunkulu kuye kosanta, wonke umuntu ubuza lo mbuzo. Kuyaye kube umbuzo wokuthi kuze kube nini isintu singasakwazi ukuphila kule planethi. KumaKristu, umbuzo wokuthi uMzali omkhulu wegama lobuKristu uyobuya nini ukuze abanike izinga lokuphila laphakade abelokhu enalo kusukela ekuvukeni Kwakhe.

Onayo iNdodana unokuphila; futhi ongenayo iNdodana kaNkulunkulu akanakho ukuphila. ( 1 Johane 5:12 )

Futhi ukuphila okukuKristu akuthenjisiwe kwabaphilayo bodwa, kodwa nakwabafileyo;

UJesu wathi kuye: “Mina ngingukuvuka nokuphila; okholwa yimi, noma efile, wophila; Uyakukholwa lokhu na? ( Johane 11:25-26 )

Impi yokugcina yesintu iwumzabalazo wempilo. Kuyimpi yokusinda, njengoba ibonwa yizo zonke izinhlangothi. Ukungqubuzana kuza ngenxa yemibono ehlukene mayelana ukusinda kanjani. Izwe elingamesabi uNkulunkulu likholelwa ukuthi ingqondo yomuntu inganqoba zonke izithiyo, kodwa uMkristu uyazi ukuthi IYEDWA indlela engagcini ngokufa.

Mina ngingumnyango: uma umuntu engena ngami, uyakusindiswa, angene aphume, afumane idlelo. ( Johane 10:9 )

Kusukela ngo-2010 lapho uJesu ebonwa emlaza we-Orion,^[1] umnyango wamadlelo aluhlaza uvuliwe. Kulesi sihloko, umlayezo we-Orion uzofika umbuthano ogcwele njengoba sikhuluma ngemfundiso yokugcina evela esibonakalisweni seNdodana yomuntu, i-monogram Yakhe yobukhosi ehlanganisa amagama okuqala u-Alpha no-Omega, njengoba kwethulwe kulolu chungechunge lwesihloko (okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokubomvu, ngokulandelana):

Njengoba lolu phawu lwasebukhosini luletha indilinga ephelele yomlayezo we-Orion, izimo emhlabeni zimbi. Amathuba athathwe kalula ayavalwa, futhi ukungasebenzi kuzoqashelwa ngemuva kwemiphumela yako eyinhlekelele. Ukufunda akupheli, kodwa kufika isikhathi lapho kuthathwa izinqumo, zokwamukela noma ukwenqaba—ukukhetha imibala yomuntu. Sithandazela ukuthi lesi sihloko sizovala ukukhetha kwakho ukuma nezinhlwini zalabo abangabeki ithemba labo kumuntu, kodwa kuNkulunkulu.

Usho kanje uJehova Nkosi; Uqalekisiwe umuntu othembela kumuntu, owenza inyama ibe yingalo yakhe, onhliziyo yakhe iphambuka kuJehova Nkosi.

Ubusisiwe umuntu othemba kuJehova Nkosi, futhi ithemba likabani Nkosi kuyinto. (Funda uJeremiya 17:5,7, XNUMX.)

UPhawu lukaNkulunkulu

Kusukela ngesikhathi soFuduko lukaIsrayeli ebugqilini baseGibhithe, ebunzini kwakulapho umthetho kaNkulunkulu wawuzokhunjulwa khona:

Kuyakuba yisibonakaliso kuwe esandleni sakho; futhi kube yisikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho. ukuthi i NkosiUmthetho kawube semlonyeni wakho, ngoba ngesandla esilamandla ulamandla Nkosi wakukhupha eGibhithe. ( Eksodusi 13:9 )

Njengama-Israyeli agqilazwa kancane kancane phakathi neminyaka engaba ngu-400, kanjalo ngobuqili obufanayo, izwe liye lagqilazwa futhi. Iziswebhu namajoka nabaphathi bemisebenzi manje bangamazinga enzalo kanye nokwehla kwamandla emali kanye “nabaphathi bentela,” phakathi kwezinye izinto. Ukuze baphile ngokukhululeka ebugqilini futhi bangaphindeli emuva, ama-Israyeli kwakufanele abhalwe umthetho kaNkulunkulu emabunzini awo, engxenyeni engaphambili yobuchopho, okuyisihlalo sokwahlulela, sokusebenza kokuphatha, isenzo sokuzithandela, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu inkululeko yokuzikhethela. LENA inkundla yempi engokomoya yangempela.

Isihloko esandulele sichaze ukuthi umthetho kaNkulunkulu, ofakwe kuyi-DNA, uvezwa kanjani esibonakalisweni seNdodana yomuntu. Labo abangabakaNkulunkulu, labo abaphethe igama Lakhe, kufanele babe ne-DNA Yakhe—hhayi nje i-DNA yomuntu yokuqala ayidalile, kodwa ne-DNA yesimo Sakhe. Lona ngumthetho wakhe okufanele ulotshwe ezingosini ezingaphambili zabantu bakhe, ukuze bangabuyeli ebugqilini besono.

Ukuba nomthetho obhalwe esiphongweni kusho ukwahlulela, ukuhlela, ukwenza, kanye nokuthatha isinyathelo sokuzithandela ngokuhambisana nesimo Sakhe. Ukukubeka ngenye indlela, owesifazane (njengesibonelo sesonto) ngokwesiko uthatha igama lomyeni wakhe, futhi izenzo zakhe zibe ukunwetshwa kwezakhe. Uma eqongelela isikweletu, isibonelo, umthetho uzophendukela KUYE uma engakwazi ukusikhokha. Ngakho-ke, ibandla kumelwe livumelane noKristu, lingenzi okuphambene nentando yaKhe, ngoba lithathe igama laKhe futhi inkululeko yalo akusiyo elayo, kodwa lathengwa ngentengo.^[2] 

Ungalithathi igama leNkosi Nkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngeze; Okwe Nkosi akayikumyeka oliphatha ngeze igama lakhe. ( Eksodusi 20:7 )

Kusukela ku-Eksodusi kuya kusAmbulo, umuntu uthola umfanekiso ofanayo. Nakuba kuEksodusi umthetho wawuzoba yisikhumbuzo ebunzini (okungukuthi, engqondweni),^[3] kusAmbulo yigama likaNkulunkulu elinikezwe njengesikhumbuzo:

Onqobayo ngiyakumenza insika ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wami, angabe esaphuma; futhi ngizobhala phezu kwakhe igama likaNkulunkulu wami, negama lomuzi kaNkulunkulu wami, oyiJerusalema elisha, owehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu wami; futhi ngizobhala phezu kwakhe igama lami elisha. (IsAmbulo 3: 12)

Nakuba leli vesi lingabonisi ngokuqondile ibunzi, kufanele liqondwe njengoba lichaza uphawu lukaNkulunkulu oluphindwe kathathu. Umugqa osuka ephusheni elidala, eliyisiprofetho elifakwe esethulweni se-Orion ukwenza kucace:

Abangu-144,000 XNUMX bonke babekwa uphawu futhi babumbene ngokuphelele. Emabunzini abo kwakulotshiwe. UNkulunkulu, iJerusalema Elisha, nenkanyezi ekhazimulayo enegama elisha likaJesu. {I-EW 15.1}

Manje qonda lokhu kumongo wesifundo samanje se-monogram yaphezulu, ngoba luyini uphawu, uma kungesona lesi sibonakaliso? Futhi umuntu uluthola kanjani lolu phawu emabunzini abo?

Kufanele kucace ukuthi ukutadisha isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu (ukuba naso engqondweni futhi ucabange ngaso nawo wonke amakhono okucabanga engxenye engaphambili) kuhlanganisiwe kulokho okushiwo ukuba nophawu lukaNkulunkulu ebunzini. Nokho, kujule kunalokho. Kufanele ibhalwe—okusho ukuthi kufanele kube khona umbhali. Ngisho nalokhu kuboniswa ngesibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu ngokwayo:

Qaphela itshiselo (umlaza Caelum). Lelishizolo liyithuluzi elisetshenziselwa ukuqopha izinhlamvu. Njengoba kubonisiwe emazulwini, itshizolo liyaqondiswa ngasebunzini wezinhlanzi. Imayelana nokubhala uphawu lukaNkulunkulu emabunzini amaKrestu. Labo abavumela izinhliziyo zabo ezingamatshe ukuba zibhodlozwe yitshe leNkosi ngokwenza kanjalo bathola inhliziyo yenyama efana neYakhe—ingxenye engaphambili eyahlulelayo, ehlelayo, eyenza, kanye namavolontiya njengoba enza. Abanjalo Ubaveza njenga Igolide, inhlanzi yasemanzini angenasawoti etholakala emifuleni yaseNingizimu Melika eshisayo, kuhlanganise neParaguay. Igama UDorado ngokwezwi nezwi lisho “igolide” ngeSpanishi, futhi libhekisela embala wenhlanzi osagolide. Ngokomfanekiso, bayigolide ngoba banokholo olumsulwa njengegolide elivivinywe emlilweni, nezinhlanzi ngoba bangamaKristu.

Nokho, ukuze igama likaNkulunkulu lilotshwe ebunzini, kumelwe kube nomlobi. Nakuba uNkulunkulu wayengathumela ingelosi ukuba yenze lo msebenzi, lena akuyona indlela uNkulunkulu asebenza ngayo. Empeleni, uNkulunkulu uthumela abantu abavamile abanjengami nawe ngendlela efanayo nendlela akubonisa ngayo kuHezekeli komunye wemibono yakhe, lapho amadoda athunywa evela esihlalweni sobukhosi emsebenzini waphezulu ukuze aphawule (noma abeke uphawu) amadoda afanelekayo emabunzini awo.

Futhi i Nkosi yathi kuye: “Dabulani phakathi komuzi, nidabule phakathi kweJerusalema, nibeke uphawu emabunzini abantu ababubulayo nabakhala ngazo zonke izinengiso ezenziwa phakathi kwalo. ( Hezekeli 9:4 )

Ubanika ilungelo lokuhlanganyela emsebenzini, ukuze bawufanelekele umvuzo ozayo.^[4] 

Leli kube yilungelo lomsebenzi wethu kusukela ekuqaleni. Lapho uMfoweth’ uJohn ethola iwashi le-Orion ekupheleni kuka-2009 (noma ngisho nalapho ethola imfundo evela kuMoya oNgcwele ngaphambi kwalokho), kwaba yilungelo nenjabulo yakhe ukwabelana ngalo nabanye. Lelo lungelo liyaqhubeka futhi lidlulela kuwe ngisho nangalesi sigijimi sokubekwa uphawu kokugcina.

Esithangamini sethu sokufunda, uMfowethu uJohn wathwebula lo mqondo ecashunweni elilandelayo kokuthunyelwe okude:

Ingabe uwubonile umlaza okuwukuphela kwawo endaweni ka-α no-ω engingazange ngiwukhulume kuze kube manje?

Kukhona i-easel enomdwebo ongaqediwe khona kanye phezu kwendawo yonke, indawo engcono kakhulu yokuba umdwebi abheke i-panorama yokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu kanye nokuhola kwebandla Lakhe ukuze alithwebule kuze kube phakade emsebenzini wobuciko omkhulu kakhulu wendawo yonke.

Ubani umdwebi?

Impendulo ibonakala kalula ngokuguqula isithombe sibe isiqondiso esihambisanayo. NguDorado omile manje omile openda isithombe, inhlanzi evaliwe ephefumulelwe iJuba likaMoya oNgcwele, ehlale ebheke ngqo kuleso sikhundla se-pendulum lapho ihora lokuhlwithwa kwabo lizoshaywa yi-E3.

Akukhona nje ukuthi le ncazelo yomdwebi ibonisa umsebenzi kaMfoweth’ uJohane, kodwa ibonisa umsebenzi wawo wonke umuntu olandela isibonelo esifanayo somhlatshelo weNkosi yethu njengoba kwenza uFiladelfiya. Njengoba agcotshwa ngoMoya oNgcwele (ofanekiselwa ijuba), futhi welula isandla ukuze abeke uphawu kwabanye ngesikhathi asibona siboniswa iwashi lasezulwini, nawe ungakwenza. Lokho uMoya oNgcwele asenzela kona, singakubonisa kwabanye njengobufakazi bethu—ubufakazi bethu emsebenzini weSikhathi—ukwethula umsebenzi wobuciko wasezulwini odalwa yiNkosi.

Ngale ndlela, wonke umuntu unethuba lokuletha isithombe esisekhaleni emehlweni abanye, ukuze bathole uphawu lukaNkulunkulu emabunzini abo. Yile ndlela wonke umuntu angahlanganyela ngayo emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu futhi azuzele omunye umphefumulo kuKristu nakulezi zikhathi ezinzima. Uma uzomkhonza ezulwini, kumele uqale umkhonze emhlabeni. Akunandaba ukuthi ungubani; ngamunye wethu ufakazela ukuthi isisho se-pithy siyiqiniso: “UNkulunkulu akabizi abafanelekayo, ubenza bafanelekele ababiziweyo.” Inkonzo emhlabeni kuwukufaneleka kwakho ukukhonza embusweni ozayo.

Incazelo Egameni

I-Dorado yegolide imelela abantu bakaNkulunkulu ababekwe uphawu abenza njengomdwebi e-easel, bebonke beveza isithombe esiphelele sikaJesu njengofakazi kulesi sizukulwane sokugcina. Babekwe uphawu, hhayi nje ngoba beqaphela isibonakaliso sasezulwini sophawu, kodwa ngoba bevumele uMoya oNgcwele ukuba wenze ezimpilweni zabo umsebenzi owumelelayo.

Yilokhu okumele kubhalwe emabunzini abangcwele ngoba labo ababukisisa ubuso bukaNkulunkulu nabo bayaguqulwa bafane naye.

Kepha thina sonke, ngobuso obuvulekile sibuka inkazimulo yeNkosi njengasesibukweni; baguqulelwa embusweni ofanayo besuka enkazimulweni baye enkazimulweni; njengoba kungoMoya weNkosi. ( 2 Korinte 3:18 )

Uma uzibuka esibukweni, uyawubona umfanekiso kaJesu Kristu? Uyambona umuntu onobuntu Bakhe, umuntu owenza okuthile esikhundleni Sakhe, othi ekuphileni kwansuku zonke abhale amasheke esihe ukuze anike abampofu eMoyeni: amasheke abhalwe nge-monogram yaphezulu, iBhange LeZulu elijabulela ukulihlonipha egameni loMnikazi nomsunguli walo?

Noma ukuyiveza ngendlela efaneleke kakhulu ku-fintech yenkulungwane entsha yeminyaka, ingabe ungomunye othi ekuphileni kwansuku zonke othumela izinkokhelo ezisheshayo zentethelelo ngesivinini sokukhanya kulabo “abasesikweletini” kubaphathi abakhulu bobushiqela obunciphayo? Ingabe ukusebenzelana kwakho nabanye abantu okwezinga elifana negolide elingokomoya—impahla yokholo eyivelakancane neyigugu njengegazi likaJesu Kristu?

Izinhlamvu I-alpha futhi i-omega esikubonayo ezulwini kuyisignesha yeNkosi, kungathi kusenkontileka, kumbe isivumelwano. Kodwa amelelani lawo ma-initials? Ngokuvamile, i-monogram izoba namagama okuqala nesibongo somuntu. Kwesinye isikhathi i-initial ephakathi nayo ifakiwe. Izinhlamvu zimelela igama, futhi igama limelela umuntu. Manje, umuntu angabuza, uma I-alpha futhi i-omega yizinhlamvu ezimele igama leNkosi, pho ubani igama Lakhe? UJesu ubizwa ngamagama amaningi eBhayibhelini achaza okuthile ngobuntu bakhe.

Ngokuba sizalelwe umntwana, siphiwe indodana, nombuso uyakuba semahlombe akhe, negama lakhe liyakuthiwa oMangalisayo, uMluleki, uNkulunkulu onamandla, uYise ongunaphakade, iNkosi yokuthula. ( Isaya 9:6 )

Abanye bayathanda ukumbiza besebenzisa igama Lakhe lesiHebheru elithi, Yeshua noma elinye lalo futhi akukho lutho olungalungile ngalokho kodwa lowo okhuluma igama elibhekise eNkosini makaqonde incazelo yalo. Ngamagama ahunyushwe ngokuthi “Umeluleki” kuqondile, kodwa ngamagama angaphandle, noma singawaphimisa ngokuphelele, singase singaqondi incazelo yawo.

Uyakubeletha indodana, uyiqambe igama lokuthi uJesu; ngoba uyakusindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo. (Mathewu 1: 21)

Ngakho, uqondeni lapho uJesu ezibiza ngo-Alfa no-Omega? Lapho sibona izinhlamvu ezithi Alfa no-Omega ophawulweni lweNdodana yomuntu, kusikisela ukuthi igama leNkosi lokuqala (ngesiGreki) liqala ngohlamvu. I-alpha futhi isibongo Sakhe siqala ngohlamvu omega. Bakha isifinyezo “segama” Lakhe eliphelele.

Kusukela ekuqaleni kwesigijimi se-Orion, siye saqonda ukuthi uJesu new Igama liyigama lesi-Arabhu lasendulo lenkanyezi emaphakathi yewashi le-Orion, i-Alnitak, njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili. Kodwa ekuchazeni ukubuya kukaJesu, iBhayibheli likhuluma ngokwambulwa kwelinye igama njengoba uJohane echaza lokho akubona:

Amehlo akhe anjengelangabi lomlilo; nasekhanda lakhe kukhona imiqhele eminingi; wayelebizo elilotshiweyo elalingaziwa muntu, ngaphandle kwakhe. (IsAmbulo 19: 12)

Lapho iNkosi ibuya, leli gama elikhethekile liyoba kubhaliwe. Kubhaliwe encwadini uphawu weNdodana yomuntu—lowo mbhalo wasezulwini omelela uMuntu weNdodana yomuntu.

Khona kuyakubonakala ezulwini isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu [ngaleli gama elingaziwa]: khona-ke ziyakuzila izizwe zonke zomhlaba, zibone iNdodana yomuntu [Funda kuphela] iza ngamafu ezulu ngamandla nenkazimulo enkulu. ( Mathewu 24:30 )

Lapho isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu sibonakala, leli gama (noma i-monogram elimelela lona) libonakala futhi liqashelwe ngokokuqala ngqá. Ikona kwaziswe kuphela nxa sembulwa ezulwini, futhi lokho kusho ukuthi kufanele sikwazi manje, ngoba siyabona ukuthi isibonakaliso siyoba khona phakathi nezinyanga ezizayo kuze kube yilapho iNkosi yethu izobonakala ngamehlo ethu.

Ingabe uyalazi igama Lakhe okwamanje? Akulona igama Lakhe elisha kuphela, kodwa futhi negama Lakhe lomndeni, futhi wonke umfundi wesigijimi se-Orion angalazisa. Iye yasetshenziswa kakhulu, kodwa akekho owayazi ukuthi yalotshwa ngesibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu. Kuphela manje lapho isibonakaliso singafundwa khona Ukwazisa lelogama:

Imfihlakalo iyaxazululeka lapho siqaphela ukuthi incwadi i-omega ngesiGreki (ω) ungunkamisa omsindo wakhe uhambisana nohlamvu “o” ngesiNgisi, kuyilapho uhlamvu I-alpha (α) ihambisana nokuthi “a”. I-Alnitak igama elisha likaJesu,^[5] kodwa inkanyezi emelela iNkosi itholakala kumuphi “umndeni”? Kusemndenini womlaza we-Orion. Igama lakhe elisha eliphelele linjalo "I-Alnitak yase-Orion." Ungowokuqala nowokugcina (igama).

IBhayibheli lalotshwa ngesiGreki, nokho, ngakho-ke kufanele sihlole ukuthi lamagama asezulwini anawo yini amagama esiGreki I-alpha futhi omega. Phela, ngisho nesiNgisi sethu "noma" elinye lamaGreki "noma" osekuphenduke igama lasekhaya ngokumangalisayo ngenkathi ye-Covid: omicron. Ungazihlolela wena usebenzisa i-Google Translator: NgesiGreki, igama lenkanyezi u-Alnitak libhalwe ngokuthi Αλνιτάκ, ngokucacile iqala ngohlamvu I-alpha (A). Futhi igama lomlaza i-Orion lilotshwe ngokuthi Ωρίων, futhi iqala ngokucacile ngohlamvu i-omega (Ω).^[6] 

Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi umuntu angafunda ukuthi umbhalo osebunzini labangu-144,000 akulona nje igama (noma izinhlamvu zokuqala) zikaJesu, kodwa futhi nelikaYise:

Ngase ngibona, bheka, iWundlu limi entabeni yaseSiyoni, kumi kanye nalo abayizi-144,000 XNUMX ababenaye. Igama lakhe negama likaYise lilotshiwe emabunzini abo. ( IsAmbulo 14:1 )

Umuntu angakwazi qonda ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthi uBaba uneziqalo ezifanayo neNdodana yakhe, noma kushiwo ngokwemvelo, iNdodana ineziqalo ezifanayo nezikaYise. Uma nizibonile iziqalo zeNdodana, nizibonile neziqalo zikaYise futhi.

Uma beningazile mina, beniyakumazi noBaba; kusukela manje niyamazi, nimbonile. ( Johane 14:7 )

Ngokulandela lo mfanekiso, inkanyezi ephakathi yezinkanyezi zebhande le-Orion—leyo emelela uBaba—iqanjwa ngokuthi I-Alnilam. Lezi yizinkanyezi ezimbili kuphela ze-Orion amagama azo aqala ngohlamvu I-alpha (ngesiGreki).

Kodwa ingabe ikhona incazelo ejulile okwamanje ngemuva kwaleli gama elithi Alfa no-Omega leNkosi noBaba wethu? Amagama aseBhayibhelini anencazelo. Bakhuluma ngesimilo salowo okuthiwa. UNkulunkulu uluthando; Isimilo sakhe siwumongo wothando. Okwakhe Igama nguThando. Ngakho, isho ukuthini i-Orion? Noma okungcono, imeleni?

Ingabe kumane nje kwaqondana ukuthi kuwo wonke amaqoqo ezinkanyezi angu-88 esibhakabhakeni, amabili ncamashi aqala ngohlamvu? i-omega ngesiGreki: i-Orion ne-Horologium, Ωρολόγιον? Izinkanyezi ezimbili ezibikezela isikhathi—ingilazi yehora ye-Orion newashi le-pendulum, iHorologium—imi njengeziqu ezimbili zomuthi wokuphila nhlangothi zombili zomfula wokuphila ( Eridanus ). Baxhumene ngokuseduze, bobabili bomndeni owodwa weSikhathi—ekuqaleni nasekugcineni, namanzi omfula wesikhathi elokhu edlula kubo, enikeza ukuphila nokudla esithelweni sabo kuyo yonke indalo.

Ngokuba siphila, sihamba, sikhona kuye; njengalokhu izimbongi ezithile zakini zishilo ukuthi: Ngokuba nathi siyinzalo yakhe. ( IzEnzo 17:28 )

Kusukela ekuqaleni kweNdalo e-Orion kuze kube yisikhathi sokuphela ku-Horologium, isici esivamile isikhathi. Futhi "isikhathi" ngesiGreki yi ωρα:

G5610 Sawubona hora (ho'-rah) ibizo

1. "ihora"

{ngokoqobo noma ngokomfanekiso [okusho “isikhathi”]}

Lapho uJesu ezichaza ngokuthi omega, Ngokuphumelelayo wathi, “Mina ngiyisikhathi sokuqala e-Orion nesokugcina eHorologium”; Isimo sakhe sothando asikwazi ukuvumela isono ukuba sihlale phakade. Uyosiqeda isikhathi salo.

Igama I-Alnitak igama lasendulo elisuselwa olimini lwesi-Arabhu elisho ukuthi “Olimele.” Lesi yisimilo seNkosi, hhayi nje isitatimende esiyiqiniso. Kungani Ingabe Walimala? IBhayibheli lisitshela ngokucacile:

Kodwa walinyazwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu, Yachotshozwa ngobubi bethu: isijeziso sokuthula kwethu sasiphezu kwakhe; nangemivimbo yakhe siphilisiwe thina. ( Isaya 53:5 )

UJesu walinyazwa ngenxa yethu—ngenxa yothando lwakhe ngathi. Igama elihlukile lisetshenziselwa ukuchaza lolu hlobo lothando lokuzidela nolunomusa ngesiGreki. Ikona αQAPHELA:

G26 ἀγαπη i-agape (ag-ah'-pay) ibizo

1. uthando, okungukuthi uthando noma umusa

Ngakho, lapho uJesu ememezela ukuthi Ungu-Alfa no-Omega, Uthi Ungu-Alnitak wase-Orion, Umunye noBaba, Uluthando nesikhathi sokukuveza; i αγαπη futhi ωρα.

Konke kunesikhathi sakho, nesikhathi sazo zonke izinto phansi kwezulu: isikhathi sokuzalwa nesikhathi sokufa; isikhathi sokutshala nesikhathi sokusiphula okutshaliwe; ( UmShumayeli 3:1-2 )

UJesu wayekhona ekuqaleni eNdalweni futhi Ukhona manje ekubhujisweni njengoba kwaprofethwa kusAmbulo 19. Sisesikhathini sokuphela; isikhathi sokufa; isikhathi sokusiphula okwakutshaliwe. Kodwa labo abalaziyo igama leNkosi akufanele besabe. UnguLolimele wezikhathi zonke, ukuze sibe nokuphila kuze kube phakade. Ngenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu uyiSikhathi, womathathu amalungu oMkhandlu Waphezulu ayiSikhathi, kodwa uJesu uNguye walabo Abathathu abayiSikhathi abalimala. Ungu-Alnitak—u-Alfa—Olimele womndeni Waphezulu Wesikhathi—u-Omega.

Ukuvala Umbuthano Wokukhanya

INkosi izethula njengo-Alfa no-Omega ekuqaleni kwencwadi yesAmbulo, lapho izethula emabandleni ayi-7 futhi futhi ekugcineni, lapho Yethula umlobokazi wayo, uMuzi oNgcwele. Amabandla ayisikhombisa amele ibandla Lakhe lonke emhlabeni:

NgangikuMoya ngosuku lweNkosi, ngezwa emva kwami ​​izwi elikhulu kungathi ngelecilongo, lithi: Ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, owokuqala nowokugcina: nokuthi: Okubonayo, kubhale encwadini, ukuthumele emabandleni ayisikhombisa ase-Asiya; e-Efesu, naseSmirna, nasePhergamo, naseThiyathira, naseSardesi, naseFiladelfiya, naseLawodikeya. ( IsAmbulo 1:10-11 )

Amabandla kulelo nalelo dolobha kwakhulunywa ngaye mathupha, futhi kwanikezwa isithembiso kulabo ababeyonqoba kulo ngalinye. Khona-ke okuqukethwe okuyinhloko kwesAmbulo kulandisa indaba yokunqoba kwebandla ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kanye nensali yenzalo yalo, phezu kwesitha. Sengiphetha, kwethulwa umlobokazi weNkosi—iJerusalema elisha, lapho ibandla lihlala khona:

Wathi kimi. Kwenziwe. Ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphetho. Owomileyo ngiyakumnika ngesihle emthonjeni wamanzi okuphila. Onqobayo uyakudla ifa lakho konke; ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wayo, yona ibe yindodana yami. ... Kwase kufika kimi enye yezingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezazinezitsha eziyisikhombisa ezigcwele izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, yakhuluma nami, yathi: Woza lapha, ngizokubonisa umlobokazi, umkaWundlu. Yangithwala ngikuMoya yaya entabeni enkulu nephakemeyo, yangikhombisa umuzi omkhulu, iJerusalema elingcwele, wehla uvela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu, ( IsAmbulo 21:6-10 ) .

Ngakho, incwadi yesAmbulo ivala umbuthano njengoba amabandla ayisikhombisa eba umlobokazi oyedwa. UJesu njengo-Alfa no-Omega uxhumene nalolu shintsho. Kuleli qophelo, kungaba kuhle ukubuyela ekukhanyeni kokuqala iNkosi eyayihole uMfoweth’ uJohn ukuba akuhlanganyele obala nge-Internet. UMoya ubulokhu uhola kusukela ekuqaleni njengo-Alfa no-Omega, ukuletha abantu Bakhe abahlakazekile babe mzimba munye.

Kusukela yashicilelwa ngo-2010, i- Isethulo se-Orion ifake phakathi ekupheleni kocwaningo lwamaslayidi alandelayo aveza igama lobukhosi likaJesu:

Ezinkanyezini ezintathu zamabhande ezimele ubuNkulunkulu, u-Alnitak uyinkanyezi emele uJesu ohlezi ngakwesokunene sikaBaba osezulwini (kwesobunxele njengoba sibona ngokwethu). Siyabona ukuthi iNkosi, eyalinyazwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu,^[7] iBhinca elibopha ibandla kuNkulunkulu.

Kulo mongo, sinikeziwe ukuqonda ukuthi kungani i-monogram yaphezulu ingabonisi kuphela igama elisha likaJesu, kodwa futhi negama likaNkulunkulu uYise. Njengoba imelelwe ngu I-Alnilam yase-Orion, uYise unegama elifanayo neleNdodana. Bahlale behlangene ngenhloso nangesimilo. Njengoba ufunda futhi ucabangisisa ngala ma-slides alandelayo, uzothola umbono wobukhosi beNkosi (kanye nobukhulu besono salabo abalahla umusa Wakhe).

Namuhla, izazi zezinkanyezi zisebenzisa izinhlamvu zesiGreki ukuze zichaze izinkanyezi. Nokho, lezo zinhlamvu zisetshenziswa njengezinombolo kakhulu kunamagama, futhi azihlobene negama likaJesu “okungekho muntu owayazi ngaphandle kwaYe uqobo,”^[8] okubonisa ukuthi akumelwe silandele indlela umuntu abhala ngayo izinkanyezi ngokunganaki, kodwa okukaNkulunkulu owanikeza imifanekiso enezinkanyezi incazelo yayo.

Njengoba ufunda lawo ma-slides, kuyaqala ukuba nomqondo ukuthi kungani iNkosi—u-Alfa no-Omega—ithumele Orion umyalezo (ω) nge I-Alnitak (α) njengenkanyezi yayo emaphakathi? Igazi lemihlatshelo lalimelela ukuphila. Egazini kune-DNA, ikhodi yokuphila, echaza umuntu. Imayelana nomlingiswa. Kuphela kungenxa yenkonzo kaJesu njengoMkhulumeli omkhulu owancenga igazi Lakhe esikhundleni sethu lapho singaphunyuka emiphumeleni yaphakade yesono, engukufa. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwalomlayezo, ubesilungiselela ukuphela.

Uyakubona ukuhlobana phakathi komfula i-Eridanus nomfula womugqa wegazi lomuntu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, noma i-DNA, inkambo yayo uSathane azama ukuyilawula namuhla? Ukuze umuntu agxambukele ngokuqondile nangamabomu i-genome yomuntu ukudlala ngomlilo.

Umuntu angaphatha umlilo esifubeni sakhe, izingubo zakhe zingashi, na? ( IzAga 6:27 )

Kodwa uNkulunkulu unikeze lesi sigijimi sesixwayiso kuwo wonke umhlaba ukuze labo abamthandayo, abahlakaniphileyo, labo abamhloniphayo bazilungiselele kahle ukuqaphela futhi bangabi nasibindi sokuqhwaga igunya loMdali nangentando yabo, bangcolise lokho Akudalile kuphelele ekuqaleni.

Isayensi yake yafundisa ukuthi i-DNA yethu imisiwe futhi ayiguquki, kodwa selokhu yaqonda ukuthi i-double helix yethu iyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu futhi iyashintsha ngokuvumelana nenkambo yokuphila kwethu. Yingakho kuvame ukubhekwa ukuthi isimilo sabazali sitholwa ngabantwana. Lapho umuntu eqala ukuphila ngoMoya kaKristu, uba a isidalwa esisha^[9] futhi i-DNA yakhe ngenxa yalokho iyavuselelwa. Njengoba lokho kuthambekela kofuzo kunqotshwa, izakhi zofuzo zomuntu ziyashintsha.

Ithempeli lasezulwini liyindlu kaNkulunkulu lapho isoni singaya khona ngokukholwa ukuze sithole ukuhlanzwa ekungcoleni kwesimo saso.

Isihlalo somusa simelelwa izinkanyezi ezintathu zamabhande e-Orion. U-Alnitak, okusho Olimele, uphawula uhlangothi lapho igazi elachithwa khona ukuze kusindiswe umuntu.

Imiphumela yophenyo isiyabonakala manje. Abaningi baye bazibonakalisa bengafaneleki, ngoba esikhundleni sokubheka phezulu kuMsindisi we-Orion ukuze bathole insindiso, baye bathembela kumuntu ukuba abelapha futhi abavikele. Abanye basayontengantenga futhi bavume ngaphansi kokucindezela okwandayo, ukucindezelwa, noma ukushushiswa, futhi kungokwalabo lomlayezo manje okufanele unikezwe ukuze ubaqinise. Vumela leli phuzu liqhutshwe ekhaya, ukuze bagcine umqhele wabo wokuphila, benqabe noma yimuphi umuthi wokugoma noma umzamo womuntu wokuphazamisa iDNA yabo, futhi babaleke echibini lomlilo. Amehlo alaba adinga ukuqondiswa kuMsindisi neNkosi yabo.

Ngokukholwa kuKristu, singasinqoba isono futhi sikhiqize kabusha iDNA yethu njengoba ithinta isimilo sethu. Siba isidalwa esisha ngomfanekiso kaKristu. Kodwa uma sibeka ukholo lwethu kumuntu kanye nobuchwepheshe bakhe bofuzo, siba isidalwa esisha ngomfanekiso indoda. Abaningi baye baqaphela ukuthi ukuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo okufanayo kwakwenzeka ezinsukwini zikaNowa.

Lezi ziyizizukulwane zikaNowa: UNowa wayeyindoda elungileyo futhi uphelele ezizukulwaneni zakhe, uNowa wahamba noNkulunkulu. ( Genesise 6:9 )

UNowa wayephelele “ezizukulwaneni zakhe,” okusho ohlwini lwegazi lakhe, i-DNA yakhe. Oyise abesaba uNkulunkulu babengathathwanga yinkanuko yamehlo ukuze bashade “namadodakazi abantu” futhi ngaleyondlela bangcolise igazi lawo.

Futhi njengoba kwenzeka emihleni kaNowa, kuyakuba njalo nasemihleni yeNdodana yomuntu. ( Luka 17:26 )

Njengoba amavulandlela okuqala ebandla lokwahlulela alandela uJesu ngokukholwa lapho engena endaweni engcwelengcwele yasezulwini, kanjalo lesi sizukulwane sokugcina siyamlandela nomaphi lapho eya khona namuhla.

Abangu-144,000 XNUMX bangabalandeli bakaJesu. Yilabo abathi ngokuzidela bakhethe indlela yomhlatshelo njengaye, bangabheki impilo yabo kanye nensindiso ngaphezu kweyabanye abantu. Yilabo abazozama ukusiza abanye, ngisho nalapho bona beswele. Ababi balubona lolo thando olungenabugovu kuKristu kodwa abasoze baluqonda:

Abantu bema bebukele. Nababusi kanye nabo bamklolodela, bathi. Wasindisa abanye; akazisindise, uma enguKristu, okhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu. ( Luka 23:35 )

UJesu wayengeke azisindise. Wayazi inani okwakumelwe likhokhelwe ukuze sisindiswe, futhi leyo ntengo ayisoze yalibaleka. Likhunjulwa emazulwini.

Kuze kube phakade, akekho oyoke akhulume nganoma yiliphi inxeba, nganoma yikuphi ukulimala, noma yikuphi okubi okwenzekile ngaphandle kwalokho okwadluliselwa eNkosini yethu endaweni engcwele yezulu. Ubekezelela konke, futhi Nguye yedwa ofanele ukukhunjulwa ngokuhlupheka Kwakhe. Uyena yedwa u-Alnitak, “Olimele” we-Orion, u-Alfa no-Omega.

Ngokuba kuludumo luni, uma nibekezela nishaywa ngenxa yona? kepha uma nenza kahle nihlupheka ngenxa yalokho, nikubekezelela, lokho kuyabongeka kuNkulunkulu. (I-1 Peter 2: 20)

Akekho ezulwini oyokhumbula ubuhlungu, ngoba bonke abahlengiwe esonweni bayokwazi ukuthi kwakuwumusa kaNkulunkulu kuphela.

Ngokuba iWundlu eliphakathi kwesihlalo sobukhosi liyobelusa, libaholele emithonjeni yamanzi okuphila; futhi uNkulunkulu uyakwesula izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo. (IsAmbulo 7: 17)

Munye kuphela okwazi ukwesula izinyembezi zonke, ngoba igazi lakhe yilona elapholisa amanxeba abo.

INkosi Nombuso Wayo

Kusukela ngo-2010, ngokuqashelwa kuka-Alnitak njengenkanyezi enegama elisha likaJesu, “Ama-Orionists” aye athandaza eNkosini ebhekisela egameni Lakhe elisha—uJesu, Olimele, noma Jesus-Alnitak. Namuhla, amagama Akhe okuqala phezu kwamawashi asezulwini aqinisekisa futhi aqinisekisa ukuthi babeqinisile ukwenza kanjalo. I-monogram yaphezulu ka-Alfa no-Omega ifanekisela IGAMA LOKUQALA LENKOSI NEGAMA LOKUGCINA, njengoba nje Yabonisa kusukela ekuqaleni kwesAmbulo:

NgangikuMoya ngosuku lweNkosi, ngezwa emva kwami ​​izwi elikhulu kungathi ngelecilongo, lithi: Mina ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, oNgcwele kuqala futhi okokugcina: nokuthi: Okubonayo, kubhale encwadini, ukuthumele emabandleni ayisikhombisa ase-Asiya; ( IsAmbulo 1:10-11 )

Kungani kubalulekile ukwazi igama likaJesu eliphelele? Wazibiza ngomngane wethu nomfowethu, futhi Wayenjalo. Wabeka eceleni ubunkulunkulu Bakhe ukuze abe ngomunye wesintu. Ngalo mqondo, uJesu siyamazi. Uye wakubona ukuphila emhlabeni njengoba siye sabhekana nakho, kanye nenjabulo nobuhlungu bakho.

Ngokuba asinaye umpristi omkhulu ongenakuzwelana nobuthakathaka bethu; kodwa walingwa kukho konke njengathi. nokho abangenasono. ( Hebheru 4:15 )

Ngalo mqondo, simazi ngokwegama lokuqala. Simbiza ngokuthi u-Alnitak, sazi ukuthi njengoba silinyazwe yisono, Naye wahlupheka futhi walimala ngenxa yesono. Siyazi Uyaqonda.

Ngoba kokubili ongcwelisayo nalabo abangcweliswayo zonke zimunye: ngalokho akanamahloni okubabiza ngabazalwane; esithi: Ngizalitshumayela ibizo lakho kubazalwane bami, phakathi kwebandla ngizahlabelela kuwe indumiso. ( Hebheru 2:11-12 )

Sihlanganiswe noMsindisi ngendlela esondelene kakhulu kunezingelosi. Siyigazi linye naye! Singabantwana Bakhe, futhi ngaphandle kokukhetha, izingane zihlanganyela i-DNA yokhokho bazo.

Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba sibe ngabantwana Bakhe, Waqala waba uMntwana wethu.

Ngakho lokhu abantwana bahlanganyela igazi lenyama, laye uqobo wahlanganyela khona lokho; ukuze ngokufa ambhubhise lowo owayenamandla okufa, okungukuthi, uSathane; futhi abakhulule labo ababeboshelwe ebugqilini ukuphila kwabo konke ngokwesaba ukufa. Ngokuba nempela akathathanga isimo sezingelosi; kodwa wathatha inzalo kaAbrahama. (Hebheru 2: 14-16)

Uma uJesu Kristu ethathela Yena ubunjalo besintu eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezine emva kokuwa, ingabe singalokotha sidelele lona kanye ifa lofuzo Angazange abe namahloni ukulithatha? Futhi uma ngokholo samukela ukuhlanzwa kwegazi Lakhe—igazi Lakhe lobuntu, ngemva kokunqoba udeveli enyameni yethu—singalokotha sithembe noma yimuphi omunye umfanekiso wesimiso sokuphila ngaphandle kwalowo azenzele wona?

UJesu uye wathwala igazi Lakhe—imvelo yethu, ifa lethu lofuzo—waliyisa ezulwini eliphakeme kakhulu, ukuze kuthi nakuba emi lapho phezulu futhi ephakanyisiwe e-Orion, sisengakwazi ukumbiza ngegama laKhe lokuqala, elithi Alnitak, ngokuqaphela indima Yakhe ekubuyiseleni isimo sethu esiwile kuNkulunkulu uBaba. Igazi lakhe liyisibonelo sobuntu ezulwini, futhi labo emhlabeni abaphumelela ukuhlolwa kwe-DNA, labo abasemhlabeni abasignesha yofuzo efana nomfanekiso wasezulwini babodwa abagunyazwe njengezindlalifa, njengabantwana bakaBaba.

Kodwa uJesu futhi uyinkosi, futhi uyala ukuhlonishwa. Akanalo nje igama lokuqala, kodwa nesibongo. Njengezicukuthwane zasendulo, akabhekiselwa kubo kuphela ngegama Lakhe, kodwa nangombuso Wakhe. Akayona nje i-Alnitak. Akayena nje noma yimuphi umuntu olimele. Uyi-Alnitak yase-Orion, iNkosana yaseZulwini elimele eyalinyazwa yimi!

Baningi abathi uJesu unguMsindisi wabo. Kunabaningi abajabulayo ukunqwabelanisa izono zabo emahlombe Akhe futhi baqhubeke beklolodela igazi elivela enxebeni Lakhe ukuze bavale izono zabo ezingapheli. Kodwa laba bazoqaphela ngokushesha ukuthi uJesu akazange abe indoda yokudlala. Akazange anikele ngegazi laKhe ngenxa yezincwadi kuphela. Akazange eze ukuzokhuluma nosathane kodwa ukumbhubhisa, njengoba Asho enyokeni ekuqaleni:

Ngiyakubeka ubutha phakathi kwakho nowesifazane, naphakathi kwenzalo yakho neyakhe; Uzokuchoboza ikhanda, wena uyakumshaya isithende sakhe. ( Genesise 3:15 )

UJesu manje uyeza njengeNkosi. Njalo lapho inkosi efanele ibuya embusweni, njalo ibulala amambuka ayesebenzela isitha ekuyisuseni. (Futhi akufanele azenzele yena; unezikhulu kanye nebutho lonke lalokho.)

Akusizi ngalutho ukwamukela uJesu njengoMsindisi wakho uma ungamenzi futhi uMbusi wakho. Akusizi ukuvuma izono zakho uma ungamvumeli uJesu aziqede nya.

Akakho ongakhonza amakhosi amabili, ngokuba uyakuzonda enye, athande enye; noma ibambelele kwenye, idelele enye. Anikwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noMamona. ( Mathewu 6:24 )

Ukubusa phezu kwesono kubalulekile. Yilokhu uJehova amyala ngakho uKhayini ngaphambi kokuba ambulale u-Abela:

Futhi i Nkosi Wathi kuKayini: “Uthukuthelelani na? ubuso bakho bunyukubeleni na? Uma wenza kahle, awuyikwamukeleka na? uma ungenzi kahle, isono sihlezi ngasemnyango. Ukufisa kwakhe kuyakuba kuwe, wena ubuse phezu kwakhe. ( Genesise 4:6-7 )

Isono sifuna ukuba nawe, kodwa wena kufanele libuse phezu kwalo. UJesu unguMsindisi noMbusi, futhi njengomntwana wakhe unegunya Lakhe lokubusa phezu kwesono empilweni yakho, futhi kufanele. Njengesosha elihle elivikela umbuso wenkosi yalo, nawe kumelwe ubulale isono ekuphileni kwakho. Yileyo ncazelo yobhapathizo. Futhi yilokho okushiwo igama likaJesu eliphelele: i-Alnitak yase-Orion, kokubili uMsindisi noMbusi—uMbusi Wesikhathi.

Zonke izimpawu zinezingxenye ezintathu: igama, ihhovisi, kanye nendawo. Manje siyazi ukuthi igama Lakhe i-Alnitak, futhi indawo Yakhe yi-Orion—umlaza wezulu ogqame kunawo wonke, obonisa isihlalo sobukhosi Bakhe obufinyelela kulo lonke izulu; akakho omkhulu.

Kodwa liyini ihhovisi Lakhe? Umkhondo usemlaza oxhumanisayo we-Eridanus. Kokubili imilaza yewashi nomfula ophakathi kwawo kubalulekile ocingweni. I-Orion imelela uJesu njengomPristi Ophakeme, Lowo owakhulumela isintu ngegazi laKhe siqu. Uchazwa kusAmbulo njengeWundlu elihlatshiwe kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba:

Bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni bayakukhuleka kuye, ogama lakhe lingalotshwanga encwadini yokuphila iWundlu elihlatshiweyo kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba. (IsAmbulo 13: 8)

Leli vesi lithinta isikhathi—ikakhulukazi isikhathi somlando womhlaba. Phawula ukuthi naphezu kokuthi uSathane ebangela ukuba bonke abangebona abakaNkulunkulu bamkhulekele okwesikhashana, BONKE ABANTU ekugcineni bayomkhulekela uJesu, ngisho nalabo abangeke bazuze ifa lokuphila okuphakade.

Ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi; onke amadolo ayakuguqa phambi kwami, nezilimi zonke ziyakuvuma kuNkulunkulu. (KwabaseRoma 14: 11)

Kunesizathu esiqondile esenza wonke umuntu akhulekele uJesu. Ngeke abuye njengeNkosi yamakhosi noMbusi wababusi ngenxa nje yokuthi uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngoba Ufanelwe yileso sikhundla. Ufanelekile, ekugcineni ngisho nasemehlweni ababi. Kungani kumfanele? IBhayibheli liyasitshela:

Ngase ngibona, ngezwa izwi lezingelosi eziningi zihaqe isihlalo sobukhosi, nezilwane, namalunga; Esho ngezwi elikhulu, Lifanele iWundlu elahlatshwayo ukwamukela amandla; nengcebo, nokuhlakanipha, namandla, nodumo, nenkazimulo, nesibusiso. (Isambulo 5: 11-12)

IWundlu elahlatshwa lifanele ukwamukela amandla. Lokhu kuboniswa ngokomfanekiso esibonakalisweni seNdodana yomuntu ngokusebenzisa imilaza emithathu eyinhloko: I-Orion imelela uJesu njengoMkhulumeli othenjisiwe, iWundlu elihlatshiwe kusukela ekusekelweni kwezwe. Igazi lakhe elagobhoza ukuze kusindiswe isintu lifanekiselwa umfula u-Eridanus, uJesu abhapathizwa kuwo ngokufa futhi wavuka futhi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi iHorologium, emelela uJesu njengeNkosi ekupheleni kwesikhathi. Umfula (owawugeleza ohlangothini Lwakhe) uyisixhumanisi:

Futhi unesambatho sakhe futhi phezu kwakhe ithanga igama elilotshiweyo elithi, INKOSI YAMAKHOSI, KANYE Nkosi OF NkosiS. ( IsAmbulo 19:16 )

Bekungeke kube khona ukuxhumana kusuka e-Orion kuya ewashini leHorologium ukube uJesu akazange anikele ngokuphila Kwakhe. Umnikelo Wakhe wamenza wafaneleka ukwamukela amandla. Okufanayo kuyafana nakubo bonke abanye abantu: labo abalandela indlela yomhlatshelo yokukholwa njengoba kwenza u-Abrahama bayothola isibusiso uNkulunkulu amthembisa sona:

Ingelosi kaJehova Nkosi wabiza u-Abrahama ngokwesibili esezulwini, wathi: “Ngizifungile mina,” usho uJehova Nkosi, ngokuba wenze lokhu, awuyigodlanga nendodana yakho, ezelwe yodwa yakho, ukuthi ngokubusisa ngikubusise, futhi ngokwandisa ngiyakwandisa inzalo yakho. njengezinkanyezi zezulu, nanjengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle; nenzalo yakho iyakudla ifa lesango lezitha zayo; Nangenzalo yakho ziyakubusiswa izizwe zonke zomhlaba; ngoba ulalele ilizwi lami. ( Genesise 22:15-18 )

Lapha endabeni ka-Abrahama, sithola umfanekiso walokho okushiwo isAmbulo ngabantu bakaNkulunkulu abafakaza ukuthi uMoya Wakhe womhlatshelo uyasebenza phakathi kwabo.

Bamnqoba ngegazi leWundlu; nangezwi lobufakazi babo; futhi abakuthandanga ukuphila kwabo kwaze kwaba sekufeni. (IsAmbulo 12: 11)

U-Abrahama wabalelwa ekufanelekeleni ifa lezulu nomhlaba ngoba wadela. Uke wayihamba leyo Ndlela? Ingabe izwi lobufakazi bakho bokholo libe ngelokunqoba komhlatshelo kuKristu?

Ngokuqonda ukuthi yini enikeza uJesu igunya lokuthola wonke amandla, manje singaphendula ngokuqiniseka ukuthi ihhovisi Lakhe liyini ngempela: Nguye owathatha igalelo lezono zethu. Wayenguye futhi uyohlale enguye “Olimele” ozimpawu zakhe ziyohlala phakade. Uphawu olugcwele—igama, ihhovisi, indawo—ngakho-ke "U-Alnitak, Olimele We-Orion."

Izinkanyezi ezintathu eziyinhloko zesibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu (i-Orion, i-Eridanus, iHorologium) zonke zimelela isikhathi ngandlela-thile. I-Orion iyingilazi yehora, emelela ukuqala kwesikhathi noma isikhathi esedlule. I-Eridanus umfula, omelela ukuhamba kwesikhathi, noma isikhathi samanje. Futhi iwashi leHorologium limelela ukuphela kwesikhathi, noma isikhathi esizayo. UNkulunkulu Uyisikhathi, futhi uJesu uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaYise.

Mina ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphetho, isho iNkosi. okhona, nowayekhona, nozayo, uMninimandla onke. (IsAmbulo 1: 8)

Manje uyaqonda ukuthi kungani iNkosi isiholele ekuqondeni isibonakaliso seNdodana yoMuntu ukuze kube ingqikithi yomgodi omnyama—lezo zindawo ezisemkhathini lapho indawo nesikhathi kuhlangana khona ngobunye obuchaza ubunjalo bukaNkulunkulu, onguSikhathi futhi ukuyo yonke indawo ngoMoya. Ngempela kwakuyiNkosi eyasihola ukuba sikuqonde lokhu njengefu elincane elimnyama elalisondela emhlabeni. Ngo-April ka-2019, sabukela ngokulangazela isambulo esikumabonakude somgodi wokuqala omnyama owake wabonwa ngokuqondile—i-M87. Yanikezwa igama lesiHawaii, elithi POWEHI, elisho “indalo emnyama engenakuqonda”—igama elifanelekayo loMdali onokuhlakanipha okungenakuphenyeka.^[10] futhi sigutshuzelwe ubumnyama.^[11] Njengoba kubhekiselwa egameni le-IKHONA yaphakade, silibhala ngendlela efanayo nawo wonke amakepisi.

Kodwa lezi zinto kwakungamazwibela nje akude, angaxazululwanga kahle, esimo Sakhe sobukhosi. Ifu elincane elimnyama lalizosondela emhlabeni. Sasilindele ukuthi maduze nje, kuzodalulwa imbobo emnyama enkabeni ye-Milky Way yethu—eduze kakhulu kune-light-year engu-M54 eyizigidi ezingu-87. Nakuba kuthathe isikhathi eside kunalokho obekulindelekile, isithombe sokuqala se I-Sagittarius A* yembulwa ngoMeyi 12, 2022—isikhungo samandla adonsela phansi edolobheni elingcwele lasezulwini—kanye nezibi ezintathu ezikhanyayo zingabonakala kalula njengemibono emithathu yePhakade, “okhona, nowayekhona, nozayo.” Iyiphi indawo elandelayo eseduze yokuthola umgodi omnyama? Ingabe yatholwa e-Orion, noma kungenzeka ukuthi “iPlanethi X” empeleni yayiwumgodi omncane omnyama ocashe khona lapha esimisweni sethu sonozungezilanga?

Manje siyabona ukuthi izimbobo ezimnyama zaziholela kuphi, njengoba singabona ifu eduze kakhulu phakathi kwezinkanyezi ezinomsila ezimbili esimisweni sethu sonozungezilanga esibhekene nesizinda semilaza (izinkanyezi zazo ngokwazo ziseduze kakhulu kuneSagittarius A*). Njengoba singasezona izindawo ezintathu ezilufifi ezikhanyayo, sibona uJesu evezwa ezinhlakeni zezinkanyezi ezintathu ezihlukene zesikhathi.

Leli qiniso lichazwa ezulwini futhi lasayinwa u-Alfa no-Omega ngokuhamba ngesikhathi kwezinkanyezi ezinomsila ezimbili i-K2 ne-E3. Lolu uphawu lweSikhathi okufanele lulotshwe emabunzini abantu bakaNkulunkulu.

Ingabe uphawu lukwilobe yakho yangaphambili? Ingabe Isikhathi sisemqondweni wakho? Uke wabuza owakho umbuzo othi "kuyoze kube nini?" Ingabe isikhathi sokubuya kukaKristu sazisa ukwahlulela kwakho futhi siqondisa imisebenzi yakho yokuphatha?

Kwangathi kusukela kulolu suku kuya phambili uthatha isikhathi ngokungathí sina. Sebenzisa sonke isikhathi ngokuhlakanipha, ukuletha umlayezo ka-Alnitak, Olimele we-Orion, emhlabeni. Ungakhathazeki ngalabo abawenqabayo; amadoda aphethe izikhali azolandela maduze nje.^[12] Kodwa kufanele ninikele ngesipho somhlatshelo uma nitholakala nifanelekela ukuhlanganyela no-Abrahama efeni lesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle nelezinkanyezi zezulu. Okufanele ukwenze ukulandela umfula ngokukholwa. Kumelwe uhambe nezinkanyezi ezinomsila (izinkanyezi) uye e-Orion Nebula (izihlabathi olwandle lwengilazi).

Akukhathalekile ukuthi uvela emlayezweni we-Orion ngo-2010 njengathi, futhi wafika kulolu suku lweNkosi eHorologium (njengenkambo yenkanyezi enomsila E3), noma uma uqala lolu suku ngesikhathi sewashi leHorologium futhi uthola indlela ebuyela kuJesu, Olimele e-Orion (njengenkambo yenkanyezi enomsila K2). Noma iyiphi indlela, uzolandela umfula wokuphila omele ukwakheka komlingiswa okudingekayo ezulwini.^[13] Futhi kulolo hambo, njengoba ubhapathizwa emhlatshelweni kaKristu futhi wabekwa uphawu ngoMoya oNgcwele weSikhathi, uphelezelwa nguMuntu owanikela ngakho konke ngenxa yakho. Ibandla laseFiladelfiya limazi kanjalo uJesu njengoMngane.

Kusukela manje anginibizi ngokuthi izinceku; ngokuba inceku ayikwazi okwenziwa inkosi yayo; ngoba konke engikuzwile kuBaba nginazisile khona. (UJohn 15: 15)
