Uma sibheka phezulu isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu, kunezinto eziningi amehlo okufanele agxile kuzo, eziletha ukuqonda okumangalisayo mayelana nokubukeka kweNkosi yethu. I ubhejane futhi Umvundla bakubonisile lokhu. Kodwa ingcebo enkulu kunawo wonke emehlweni ka-Israyeli uMphongolo weTestamente, owaprofethwa ukuthi uyokwambulwa ezulwini:

Ithempeli likaNkulunkulu lavulwa ezulwini, kwabonakala ethempelini lakhe umphongolo wesivumelwano sakhe. kwase kuba khona imibani, namazwi, nokuduma, nokuzamazama komhlaba, nesichotho esikhulu. ( IsAmbulo 11:19 )

Kulesi sihloko, uzobona umkhumbi owambuliwe njengoba siqhubeka sibuka isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu. Njengoba isAmbulo sikhuluma ngemifanekiso, omunye angase abuze, singazibonaphi izimpawu zomkhumbi? Sikuphi isifuba? Ziphi izinti zokuthwala? Aphi amakherubi amabili ami njengofakazi betestamente? Futhi yiziphi izinto ezifanekisela izibhebhe zesivumelwano, ibhodwe lemana, nentonga ka-Aroni eyahluma? Ingabe lezi zinto ziboniswa njengengxenye yesibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu?

Ukusuka indaba yeqiniso yofakazi ababili, umuntu angase abe nombono wokuthi mhlawumbe uNkulunkulu wenza into efanayo emazulwini naleyo Ayenza ngo-2022, lapho umkhumbi wawulandelwa ama-ephemerides enkanyezi enomsila C/2021 O3 (PanSTARRS) kanye nelanga. Izindlela zalezo zinto ezimbili zasezulwini zazilandela umkhumbi ngezibambo zawo:

Ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, ukufanekisa kwakudingeka kucatshangelwe ngokucophelela. Ukulinganisa kwezinti, amakherubi namaphiko awo, umzimba womphongolo—zonke lezi zinto zazibonakala ngomfanekiso ongokomBhalo nowasezulwini owawunesisindo esilingana nokubonakala okubonakalayo. Lokhu kusenza siqonde, isibonelo, ukuthi umzimba womkhumbi ungachazwa ngendlela engeyona unxande; ukubheka phezulu ezulwini ngokulalela umyalo weNkosi akuyona nje into encane yokubona izimo emafwini. Kumelwe siqhathanise esikubonayo nemiBhalo, futhi ngokwenza kanjalo sisebenzisa amakhono ethu okomoya. Ngale ndlela, sifunda izwi likaNkulunkulu futhi sifinyelele ekuqondeni okucacile kwezinhloso Zakhe.

Umkhumbi oboniswe esithombeni esingenhla wawungowokusilungiselela lokho osekufike enkazimulweni yawo egcwele. Inkanyezi enomsila (O3) eyalandela umkhumbi ngo-2022 yanyamalala ngesikhathi sokuhlangana kwayo nelanga, okungaqondwa uma sibheka emuva okusho ukuthi umphongolo wesivumelwano ngo-2022 wawuyisandulela esikhomba into yangempela manje esizoyihlola.

Ingabe isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu sasiyowuveza umphongolo wesivumelwano okwaprofethwa ukuthi wawuyobonakala emazulwini ngaphambi kokufika kukaJesu? Uma kunjalo, sisebenza kanjani ngokomoya namuhla futhi kufanele sihlobane kanjani nalokhu kwembulwa?

Khumbula, umphongolo wesivumelwano wawufanekisela ukuba khona kukaNkulunkulu phakathi kuka-Israyeli nabaKhe amandla kwabonakaliswa ngayo ukunqoba izitha zabo. Uma sifuna ukubona ukubonakaliswa kwalo mkhumbi manje ngaphakathi kwesignesha ye-alpha ne-omega yeNkosi yethu, singaqiniseka ngesivikelo kanye nokuba khona kukaNkulunkulu phakathi kwethu kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini esingase sibhekane nayo esikhathini esibi esiphambi kwethu.

Ake sicabangele ukuthi ukufanekiselwa komkhumbi ngo-2022 kwasiholela kanjani, futhi kusifundisa ngesambulo sokugcina sale “artifact” yasendulo yasezulwini. INkosi ilethe ukunaka kwethu endaweni yesibhakabhaka lapho isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu sekuvele ezindleleni zenkanyezi enomsila. Njengoba lesi sibonakaliso sibonisa isimo sobuNkulunkulu seNkosi yethu nabantu Bayo, akufanele yini silindele ukukwazi ukubona umphongolo wesivumelwano Sayo nalapho?

Ukwembulwa

Isifundo sokuqala kusukela ngo-2022 esingasisebenzisa ukuze sibone umphongolo wesivumelwano kulesi sibonakaliso iqiniso lokuthi ibhokisi lomkhumbi lingachazwa ngemizila yezinkanyezi zasezulwini. Ngo-2022 sabona inkanyezi enomsila i-O3 kanye nelanga lilandela umzimba womkhumbi; yiziphi izindikimba zasezulwini esizibona zifeza le ndima ngo-2023?

Ngokusobala, inkanyezi enomsila i-K2 ne-E3 manje ilandelela umngcele osebenza njengendawo ebiyelwe—ibhokisi lamagugu angokomoya, njengomkhumbi. Sesihlonze izinto eziningi ezithakazelisayo—ijuba, inhlanzi, indoda yasemfuleni—esike sasikisela ngazo emgwaqeni. isingeniso kulolu chungechunge. Ingabe umzimba ‘wenhlanzi enkulu’ njengoba wakhiwe imigqa emibili yenkanyezi enomsila nawo wawumelela umphongolo wesivumelwano? Impela, yilokhu esikufundile kusuka ku-2022, futhi uzobona ukuthi kusaqhubeka nango-2023.

Womabili ama-ephemerides (izindlela ezibaliwe zenkanyezi enomsila) phakathi nesikhathi esishiwo sisuka kusuka kumlaza wewashi kuya kwelinye. Futhi, kufanele sicabange ngokuhambisana nezimpawu ezinengqondo. Esibonelweni sango-2022, i-ephemeris yelanga—ngokusobala umugqa oqondile—yayisebenza ukuze ifanekise izinti ezithwalayo, ezazisuka kwelinye ikherubi ziye kwelinye.

Ukuze kube lula ukwenza umfanekiso, sibheke isimo kangangokuthi izigxobo zakhe umugqa oqondile, kodwa emazulwini, yonke “imigqa eqondile” igcina igobile. Ngakho, "ukuqondisa" komugqa akusona isici esichazayo sezigxobo. Lapha ngo-2023, sibona ukuthi zombili izindlela zenkanyezi enomsila zisuka komunye umlaza wewashi ziye kwelinye, futhi lawawashi amabili angofakazi ababili beSikhathi: i-Orion neHorologium.

Lemilaza emibili imelela uJesu njengoMpristi neNkosi, ngokulandelana, kanye esesimweni somuntu (i-Orion, ebonisa isihe saKhe ngezikhathi zesixwayiso) futhi yabe ihlotshiswe ngobukhosi baphezulu (Horologium, ebonisa ubukhosi Bakhe ngezikhathi zokwahlulela). Ingabe uyaqala ukuqonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu ugcwalise ngokucebile kangakanani amazulu ngenkazimulo Yakhe ekubonakalisweni kobukhona Bakhe ngomkhumbi? Kuyinto eyodwa ukwenza ngokoqobo bheka ngesimo sabo izinhlamvu u-Alfa no-Omega ezilotshwe emazulwini, kodwa manje nathi siyaqala qaphela izinto ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu ezingabonakali ngokusobala.

Uma imilaza yamawashi amabili ingofakazi ababili, khona-ke kunengqondo ukuthi kungani ama-trajectories enkanyezi enomsila iphela phambi kwayo yomibili imilaza.^[1] Imizila yezinkanyezi ezinomsila ifanekisela kahle izinti ezimbili ezisuka “komphathi womkhumbi” ziye komunye.

U-Orion uze ubambe inkanyezi enomsila i-K2 esandleni sakhe sobunxele ngesikhumba sebhubesi njengoba igobela ekhanda Lakhe, kuyilapho i-E3 idlulela ohlangothini lwe-Orion ngesikhathi sophawu. Ku-Horologium, izindlela zenkanyezi enomsila zifika ezinyaweni Zakhe (E3) kanye nesandla Sakhe sokunene (K2), njengoba iHorologium nayo imele isiphambano Sakhe, iphawula ihora lomhlatshelo Wakhe.^[2] Ngakho, siyabona ukuthi izinkanyezi ezinomsila ziphawula amanxeba kaJesu: izandla Zakhe ezimbili ezeluliwe, ikhanda Lakhe, uhlangothi Lwakhe, nezinyawo Zakhe. Inkanyezi enomsila ngayinye ‘yacwiliswa’ egazini lomhlatshelo kaJesu, egeleza ku-Eridanus, futhi “yafafaza” esihlalweni somusa somphongolo—isivalo sebhokisi:

Wothabatha egazini lenkunzi, alifafaze ngomunwe wakhe phezu kwesihlalo somusa ngasempumalanga; phambi kwesihlalo somusa uzafafaza ngegazi ngomunwe kasikhombisa. ( Levitikusi 16:14 )

Kulesi sigcawu, sibona isenzo sikaJesu sokuhlawulela, esenziwa cishe eminyakeni eyizi-2000 edlule eKalvari, sikhunjulwa, sifafazwa emphongolweni wesivumelwano saKhe “ngomunwe” waKhe wodumo. Futhi igazi namanzi aphuma ohlangothini lwaKhe ogwaziwe eqinisekisa ukufa Kwakhe, kwehle umfantu emhlabeni phezu kwesihlalo somusa esifihlwe emhumeni ngaphansi.^[3] njengo-Eridanus ageleza esihlalweni somusa sasezulwini.

Limelwe kanjalo igazi uJesu alinikeza umthetho ophulwayo.^[4] KumKristu, umthetho awunakwehlukaniswa egazini Lakhe. Lokhu kubangela umbuzo, Ingabe siyawubona umthetho nakulo lesi sibonakaliso? Lapho sicabangela ukuthi ufakazi unikeza ubufakazi, kunengqondo ukuthi ubuso bamawashi amabili (izingxenye zofakazi ababili abakhulumayo) nabo bumelela lawawashi amabili. amatafula lobufakazi: umthetho kaNkulunkulu. Kodwa amawashi angawamelela kanjani amatafula amatshe Ngaphakathi umkhumbi lapho imilaza ingekho kakhulu ngaphakathi komjikelezo ozungezwe izinkanyezi ezinomsila? Isiprofetho esidala siyachaza:

Ngenkathi la mazwi ethemba elingcwele enyukela kuNkulunkulu, amafu ashanela emuva, futhi amazulu agcwele izinkanyezi ayabonakala, ekhazimula ngendlela engachazeki ngokuphambene nomkhathi omnyama nothukuthele nhlangothi zombili. Inkazimulo yomuzi wasezulwini igeleza iphuma emasangweni ajare. Khona-ke kubonakala isandla esibhakabhakeni siphethe izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe zigoqwe ndawonye. Umprofethi uthi: “Amazulu ayakumemezela ukulunga kwakhe, ngokuba uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli ngokwakhe.” IHubo 50:6. Lowomthetho ongcwele, ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu, okwamenyezelwa phakathi kokuduma nelangabi eSinayi njengomqondisi wokuphila, manje wembulwa kubantu njengomthetho wokwahlulela. Isandla sivula amatafula, futhi kubonakala imiyalo ye-Decalogue, ilandelwa njengokungathi ipeni lomlilo. Amagama acacile kangangokuthi bonke bangawafunda. Inkumbulo iyavuswa, ubumnyama benkolelo-ze kanye nokuhlubuka kushanelwa kuyo yonke ingqondo, kanye namazwi ayishumi kaNkulunkulu, kufushane, kuphelele, futhi kunamandla, zivezwe emehlweni abo bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni. {I-GC 639.1}

Sabona amatafula egoqwe ndawonye ngo-2022, kodwa manje isandla esingaqondakali sesivule amatafula. Itafula ngalinye lethulwa ngofakazi bakhe (i-Orion ne-Horologium). Ubuso babo obubonisa isikhathi bukhazimula ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ibonakalisa esimeni Sakhe. Manje kuyacaca ukuthi kungani amatafula engasekho emkhunjini. Bakhishiwe ukuze bonke babonwe.

Amawashi anobuso obuyisicaba obunezinombolo, njengoba nje nezibhebhe zamatshe zazinobuso obuyisicaba obunemithetho eyishumi enezinombolo. Nokho, isiqhathaniso sima lapho—noma kubonakala—ngoba amawashi awanawo amahora ayishumi, kodwa ayishumi nambili. Anjani pho “amazwi ayishumi” kaNkulunkulu?kufushane, kuphelele, futhi kunegunya—yethulwa ukuze ibukwe?

Siyazi ukuthi imiyalo ihlukaniswe ngokulinganayo kuwo wonke amatafula amabili. Itafula letshe lokuqala limelela isibopho sesivumelwano somuntu kuNkulunkulu futhi lihlanganisa imiyalo emine yokuqala. Leli yithebula elikhonjiswa yi-Orion, enezinkanyezi zayo ezine zangaphandle ezikhombisa amamaki angamahora amane ngewashi le-Orion. Liphelelisa, elinye itafula linemithetho eyisithupha ephathelene nomsebenzi womuntu komunye umuntu. Ihora lesithupha ligqame ngokukhethekile ngenxa ye-pendulum, ewela kabili yinkanyezi enomsila E3. Ungakwazi yini ukuthola izifundo zomoya kulokhu?

Usho ukuthini uNkulunkulu ngokuhlanganisa itafula lokuqala lomthetho ne-Orion? I-Orion imele inkonzo yobupristi obukhulu beNkosi; inkonzo yegazi Lakhe phambi kukaBaba egameni lomuntu, ukubuyisela ubuhlobo obuphukile phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu Bakhe. Ingabe igazi likaJesu liye lawufeza umsebenzi walo maqondana nalesi sithebe somthetho? Ingabe uNkulunkulu uza kuqala ekuphileni kwakho, kangangokuthi uyoba nesibindi sokummelela ngisho nalapho abanye bengakwenzi?

Yizwa, Israyeli: The Nkosi uNkulunkulu wethu munye Nkosi: Futhi uzokuthanda Nkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangawo onke amandla akho. (Duteronomi 6: 4-5)

Ngendlela efanayo, iwashi leHorologium, elinemithetho eyisithupha ehlobene ngokukhethekile nesikhathi senkathazo “esingakaze sibe khona” kusukela ngo-February 20 kuya ku-May 28, 2024, libiza bonke abantwana bakaNkulunkulu ukuba bazindle ngokuthi kusho ukuthini ukugcwalisa ithebula lesibili lomthetho, elikhuluma ngendlela esiphatha ngayo abanye abantu. Ingabe ‘sizithandile izitha zethu’? Ingabe siye saxwayisa ngezingozi ezingokwenyama nezingokomoya zosuku lwethu? UJesu umi eHorologium njengeNkosi noMahluleli omkhulu. Uhlukanisa izimvu ezimbuzini; labo abanothando—futhi abafisa ukwanda—uthando Lwakhe ezinhliziyweni zabo ngomunye nomunye, nalabo abangenalo.

Futhi owesibili ufana nawo, Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. (Mathewu 22: 39)

UJesu wayezimisele ngisho nokunikela ngokuphila Kwakhe phakade, ukuze ahlenge bonke ababeyizisulu zesono.

Ngokuba bonke bonile, basilalelwe inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; ( Roma 3:23 )

Sonke sihlukanisiwe noNkulunkulu nokuphila, futhi ngaphandle kokuthi uJesu wenza lowo mhlatshelo, besingeke sibe nethemba. Ukube bekungengenxa yokukhetha Kwakhe ukwamukela ubizo Lwakhe njengeWundlu lomhlatshelo ukuze lisuse isono sezwe—ukuba bekungengenxa yokukhetha Kwakhe ukubhapathizwa eJordani, besiyolahleka sonke ingunaphakade. Lomhlatshelo ukhonjiswe ophawini lweNdodana yomuntu obonakala kubo bonke ukuba bawuqonde futhi bawamukele. UJesu ungumfanekiso womthetho kaNkulunkulu futhi umhlatshelo Wakhe uphakathi nendawo.

Ubani oyobonisa uthando lobuzalwane esikhathini sokuhlupheka esingakaze sibe khona, phakathi kokugadla okubili okuhlukene kwehora lesithupha? Ubani oyovumela ukukhanya kukaKristu kukhanye phakathi nobusuku bosizi kusukela kuhwalala kuze kuse—ukuqala kokubuya kwesibili kukaKristu? Yilabo kuphela abanesithebe sesibili sesivumelwano esilotshwe ezinhliziyweni zabo.

Ngalokho bonke bayakukwazi ukuthi ningabafundi bami, uma nithandana. ( Johane 13:35 )

Ngabe umthetho usuwenziwe wacaca manje?

Kuthiwani NgeSabatha?

Elinye irekhodi lombono ocashunwe ngenhla lihlanganisa imininingwane eyengeziwe:

UJesu wavula [izibhebhe zamatshe ezagoqwa ndawonye njengencwadi], ngabona imiyalo eyishumi ibhalwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu kuyo. Phezu kwetafula kwakukhona ezine, futhi kwelinye eyisithupha. Ezine ezazisetafuleni lokuqala zazikhanya kakhulu kunalezi ezinye eziyisithupha. Kodwa owesine, umthetho weSabatha, wakhanya ngaphezu kwawo wonke; ngoba iSabatha lalihlukaniselwe ukugcinwa ukuze kuhlonishwe igama likaNkulunkulu elingcwele. ISabatha elingcwele lalibukeka likhazimula—inkazimulo yenkazimulo yayizungezile. Ngabona ukuthi umthetho weSabatha wawungabethelwa esiphambanweni. Uma kwakunjalo, eminye imiyalo eyisishiyagalolunye kwakungu; futhi sikhululekile ukuwaphula wonke, kanye nokuhlephula esesine. Ngabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengalishintshi iSabatha, ngoba akashintshi. Kodwa upapa wayelushintshile kusukela osukwini lwesikhombisa kuya osukwini lokuqala lwesonto; ngoba kwakumele aguqule izikhathi lemithetho. {I-EW 32.3}

Kuningi okumelwe sikukhiphe lapha, kodwa ngemithetho emine yokuqala emelwe izinkanyezi zangaphandle ze-Orion, umuntu angase abuze ukuthi iyiphi kulezi zinkanyezi ezine ehambisana nomyalo wesine kulokhu okuprofethwe ukuthi uzokhanya kakhulu. Kwe Isethulo se-Orion, inkanyezi uSaiph yayizimisele ukuba umsuka wokubala isikhathi nxazonke zewashi le-Orion, futhi ngaleyondlela yayiyoba inkanyezi “yokuqala,” ehambisana nomyalo wokuqala kule ndaba. Njengoba isebenza njengewashi, eyesibili izohambisana neBetelgeuse, iBellatrix yesithathu, kanye noRigel wesine.

Ukuxhumana phakathi kwemithetho emine yokuqala kanye ne-Orion kuqinisekiswa ukuthi u-Rigel uyinkanyezi ye-Orion ekhanya kakhulu. Uyabona ukuthi izimpawu zesiprofetho zikhomba kanjani encazelweni yasezulwini? Lokhu kuhambisana kahle nokuqonda ukuthi umfula i-Eridanus, onendawo yokugcina e-Rigel, imele I-Gene Yokuphila or Uhlu LweSabatha Eliphakeme, yona ngokwayo eyasungulwa ngeSabatha.^[5] NgoHlu LweSabatha Oluphakeme mayelana nesigijimi se-Orion, iSabatha limenyezelwa ngokugcwele, njengoba kwaprofethwa futhi:

Ngabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu unabantwana abangaliboni abaligcinayo iSabatha. Abazange benqabe ukukhanya phezu kwalo. Futhi ekuqaleni kwesikhathi sosizi, sagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele ngenkathi sihamba futhi wamemezela kakhulu isabatha... {I-EW 33.2}

Njengoba kuchaziwe ku UKristu Kuwe, Ufuzo Lwenkazimulo, iSabatha libaluleke kakhulu kunokuchaza usuku lokukhulekela. Eqinisweni, nakuba leso sici kwakuyindawo yokuhlola yebandla ngesikhathi esibalulekile somlando, akulona iphuzu lokuhlola namuhla. Kodwa lo myalo oyingqayizivele uvivinya ubuqotho bomuntu kuMdali wakhe ngendlela noma izindlela ezingase zibe usizo emphakathini ngesikhathi esithile.

Ingabe siyawuhlonipha umklamo kaNkulunkulu wobulili ngokomfanekiso wakhe^[6] lapho umhlaba uyingcolisa ngokusekela imikhuba ye-LGBT? Ingabe siyawuhlonipha umklamo Wakhe kuzakhi zethu zofuzo ngaphandle kokujova ikhodi yomuntu siqu yezinto eziphilayo, ukubhala kabusha ukulandelana kwethu kofuzo? Futhi besingawuhlonipha yini umklamo Wakhe ngesikhathi uma amandla ezwe efuna ukuba singanaki uphawu loMdali esikhumbuzweni samasonto onke somsebenzi Wakhe wensindiso?^[7] ngokuhlonipha uphawu lomzamo womuntu siqu wokuzisindisa? ISabatha liyi-a ukuvivinywa kobuqotho okuphindwe kathathu, futhi zimbili kuphela izici zalolo vivinyo ezifanelekile emphakathini namuhla, futhi ngaphandle koshintsho oluphawulekayo emphakathini olungaphakamisa iSabatha odabeni oluphawulekayo oluhlukanisayo emhlabeni wonke, luyohlala lunjalo.

Umthetho Emfuleni Wesikhathi

Umfula i-Eridanus ngokomthetho uwumfanekiso wokugeleza kwesikhathi. Ibonisa isikhathi esingagelezi nje kuphela ngesikhathi sokwahlulela, kodwa futhi ngezinga elikhulu lomlando wesintu, simelela umfula uHezekeli awuchaza, oqala kusukela ekudalweni kuya kuKristu:

Lapho umuntu ephuma esiya ngasempumalanga, owayephethe umucu esandleni sakhe, walinganisa izingalo eziyinkulungwane, wangidabulisa emanzini; amanzi afika emaqakaleni. Waphinda walinganisa inkulungwane, wangidabula emanzini; amanzi ayefika emadolweni. Waphinda walinganisa inkulungwane, wangidabula; amanzi afika okhalweni. Ngemva kwalokho walinganisa inkulungwane; kwakungumfula engingenakuwuwela, ngokuba amanzi ayephakeme, amanzi okubhukuda, umfula ongaweleki. ( Hezekeli 47:3-5 )

Umfula kaHezekeli ufanekisela igazi likaJesu elenziwa isithembiso isisekelo somhlaba ukuze kuvikeleke isintu.

Kuyakuthi konke okuphilayo okunyakazayo nomaphi lapho umfula ufika khona kuyakuphila, kube khona izinhlanzi eziningi kakhulu, ngokuba lawa manzi ayakufika khona, ngokuba ayakuphiliswa; futhi konke kuyakuphila lapho umfula ufika khona. ( Hezekeli 47:9 )

Uma siqhathanisa lokhu nesimo sasezulwini, kuba sobala ukuthi ingxenye yokuqala yomfula osuka eRigel uye endodeni esemfuleni (bheka isithombe) imelela labo. iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezine lokho uHezekeli akuchaza. Lena iminyaka ye- umjikelezo omkhulu wewashi le-Orion kusukela ku-Adamu kuze kufike kuJesu Kristu. Khona-ke ingxenye yesibili yomfula kusukela kumuntu kuya ewashini iHorologium imelela iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili yenkathi yobuKristu kuze kube manje—isikhathi sokwahlulela. Le minyaka ivalwe ngomjikelezo wokwahlulela wewashi le-Orion, ophele ngo-2014/15.^[8] 

Ukubeka lokhu emgqeni wesikhathi, wonke umlando womhlaba uchazwa ngokugeleza komfula usuka kumlaza we-Orion (ukulinganisa isikhathi ukusuka eNdalweni) ukuya kumlaza weHorologium (ukulinganisa isikhathi ekupheleni kwezwe).

Ngakho, ngokuqonda kwethu izibhebhe zomthetho ezimelelwe kuleyomilaza emibili, manje singakwazi ukubona iMithetho Eyishumi njengokubonakaliswa kwesikhathi, ngaphambi nangemva kwesiphambano:

Manje sekucace nakakhulu ukuthi kungani uJesu athi akezanga ukuzochitha umthetho:

Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umthetho noma abaprofethi; angizanga ukuchitha, kodwa ukugcwalisa. (Mathewu 5: 17)

UJesu, njengomzimba wobunkulunkulu, wagcwalisa ingxenye yobunkulunkulu yesivumelwano ngokwenza konke okusemandleni Akhe kuze kufike futhi kuhlanganise nokunikela ngokuphila Kwakhe ukugcwalisa ukwethembeka Kwakhe esintwini. Futhi kuthiwani ngeminye imiyalo eyisithupha ephathelene nengxenye yomuntu yesivumelwano? Sibheka emuva eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha kuya Ekudalweni njengophawu lokuthi itafula lesibili letshe elinemithetho eyisithupha seligcwalisekile nalo—uma ngempela izimo zothando sezifeziwe.

Waphinda futhi, uJesu wafingqa wonke umthetho ngomyalo owodwa:

Ngininika umyalo omusha wokuba nithandane; njengalokhu nginithandile, nani nithandane. ( Johane 13:34 )

Kulo “myalo omusha” kuchazwe ukubuyisana okubonisa ukuhlangana phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu. Lapho umuntu eqonda inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu, ubuyisela uthando lwaphezulu futhi umjikelezo uyaphela. Ngakho, wonke umthetho uhlanganiswa emyalweni owodwa omusha. Ukubeka lokhu kumongo womugqa wesikhathi, lo myalo omusha uvezwa enkulungwaneni yeminyaka lapho uKristu nabantu Bakhe beyobusa ndawonye.

Ubusisiwe, ungcwele onesabelo ekuvukeni kokuqala; phezu kwabanjalo ukufa kwesibili akunamandla. kodwa bazakuba ngabapristi bakaNkulunkulu labakaKristu, babuse kanye laye iminyaka eyinkulungwane. (IsAmbulo 20: 6)

Endabeni kaJesu, umhlatshelo wakhe esiphambanweni owuphawu lweminyaka eyizi-4000 ubonisa ukuthi ubuNkulunkulu bafeza isivumelwano. Singazi kanjani ukuthi isintu nayo yenze ingxenye yaso? Ingabe sikhona isenzakalo, uhlobo oluthile lomhlatshelo, oluphawula iphuzu lapho singabheka khona emuva futhi sibone ukugcwaliseka kweminyaka engu-6000?

Impendulo yalo mbuzo ijule kakhulu. Masihambe nomfula osuka e-Orion ubheke eHorologium futhi sifune ngokucophelela noma yimiphi imikhondo. Njengoba iso lethu lilandela indlela yomfula, ukubona kwethu kuhlangana nomunye “umkhomo” ngaphandle kwenhlanzi enkulu eyakhiwe ama-trajectories enkanyezi enomsila. NguCetus, isilo sasolwandle, noma uLeviyathani, onguSathane.

Izidalwa zasolwandle ezimbili ezinkulu zimelene zodwa emaceleni ahlukene omfula, esinye siletha izoni ekukhanyeni nasekusindisweni njengoba inhlanzi enkulu yenza kuJona, esinye sifuna ukudonsela ebumnyameni bomgodi wakhe ongelamkhawulo zonke “inhlanzi” ezihlala eMfuleni Wesikhathi. UCetus ngezidladla zakhe uzama ukuphambukisa umfula endleleni yawo, futhi emgqeni wesikhathi womlando, leli phuzu—phakathi kweNdalo nesiphambano—lihambisana nenkulungwane yesibili yeminyaka, lapho uSathane efuna ukonakalisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngokuphendukezelwa kwezakhi zofuzo ezinsukwini zikaNowa. Ngalokhu, iNkosi yathi:

Kodwa njengoba zazinjalo izinsuku zikaNowa, kuyakuba njalo nokufika kweNdodana yomuntu. (Mathewu 24: 37)

Amazwi akhe aqinisekiswa njengoba sibona indaba yesizukulwane sikaNowa esibonakalisweni seNdodana yomuntu, esidlalayo futhi namuhla. Umlando uyaphinda. Nathi namuhla besihamba nomfula wesikhathi, futhi uSathane uzama futhi ukucekela phansi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu endalweni ephilayo futhi abuyisele umhlaba esimweni sokuchithwa. Kwaprofethwa kudala ukuthi uSathane uzozama ukuguqula indlela yoMfula weSikhathi, futhi umthetho owumele:

Futhi yena [amandla asemhlabeni alawulwa uSathane] bayakukhuluma amazwi amakhulu ngokumelene noPhezukonke, bakhathaze abangcwele boPhezukonke. futhi ucabange ukushintsha izikhathi nemithetho: bayakunikelwa esandleni sakhe kuze kube yisikhathi nezikhathi nengxenye yesikhathi. ( Daniyeli 7:25 )

Kodwa qaphela ukuthi iyiphi enkulu! Amandla omkhomo ngokuyinhloko asemaphikweni awo amakhulu omsila, futhi asemsileni wenhlanzi enkulu lapho umlaza we-Orion ubonakala khona umnsalo wawo uqondiswe ngqo ekhanda likaCetus. USathane unesizathu esizwakalayo sokwesaba uthango lolaka lukaNkulunkulu.

Kusukela 2014 lapho kuphela imijikelezo emikhulu yaminyaka yonke ye-Orion futhi sisuka ngokomfanekiso eRigel sigudla umfula ukuya esikhathini sokubuya kukaKristu, kwakusele iminyaka emibili nje kuphela umhlatshelo wasePhiladelphia okufanele kwenziwe 2016, okuhambisana nendawo emaphakathi eduze komfula lapho kubonakala khona indoda.

In 2015, phakathi naleyo minyaka emibili, uSathane waphinde wakhuthaza “umshado nokuganiselana” njengasezinsukwini zikaNowa. Umshado ungcwele ngokwawo, kodwa endabeni kazamcolo umuntu angaphetha ngokuthi wawudlulele futhi nabantu bengenandaba noNkulunkulu neqiniso lokuthi izwe labo lase lizophela, kwakungafaneleki.

Ngokuba njengasezinsukwini zangaphambi kukazamcolo babedla, bephuza; ukuganwa nokuganwa, kwaze kwaba usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini, (Mathewu 24:38).

Ngo-2015 kwakuwumshado wobulili obufanayo owanikeza inkulumo ethi "umshado nokunikela emshadweni" umbala wayo onemibala (futhi onesono). Nalapha futhi, umhlaba washesha ukuzonakalisa, ungakunaki lokho isikhathi ewashini likaNkulunkulu sase siphela. Namuhla ukuhlanganiswa kobunikazi sekuhambile kusukela ekuzilolongeni kwengqondo kuya kokwenyama: akukhona nje ukuthi abantu abambalwa badidekile ngokuthi bangowesilisa noma besifazane, kodwa manje iningi lomhlaba liwele ngamabomu ekwandiseni noma ekonakaleni kwekhodi yofuzo yomzimba ngokusebenzisa imigomo ye-mRNA nezinye izindlela.^[9] 

Kuyoze kube nini lokhu ngaphambi kokuba iNkosi iphinde ibhubhise umhlaba?

Uma ingxenye yokuqala yomfula ithatha iminyaka emibili ohambweni lwethu lwanamuhla, umuntu angase acabange ukuthi ingxenye yokugcina kufanele ithathe unyaka owodwa, ngokulandela isilinganiso esifanayo nasohlelweni lweminyaka eyinkulungwane.

Lokhu kusho ukuthi indoda yasemfuleni ayimeleli kuphela umhlatshelo weNkosi yethu, kodwa futhi umhlatshelo waseFiladelfiya. Nokho, kunomehluko omkhulu: nakuba umhlatshelo kaJesu waletha insindiso kuwo wonke umhlaba, umhlatshelo waseFiladelfiya wawungeke wenze into enjalo. Munye kuphela uMsindisi neNkosi, uJesu Kristu. Kepha lokho okwafezwa umhlatshelo waseFiladelphia yilokho kanye okwakuhlosiwe: ukuthola eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa kusukela ku-Time uqobo Lwakhe ukuvumela bonke ababefisa, ukufinyelela emfuleni wokuPhila.

Noma ukukubeka emfanekisweni wezulu, umhlatshelo waseFiladelfiya wasebenza ukubuyisela umfula weSikhathi endleleni, uhlwitha ukuphila ezinzipho zokufa ukunikeza labo abafuna. Futhi lapho kulelo jiko eliwusizo kukhona umlaza weFornax, ihhavini lokuhlupheka labantu bakaNkulunkulu (lapho Igolide lihlanzwa khona) eliye labonakala kule minyaka eyisikhombisa, manje esicishe iphelele.

Ingabe kuyacaca ngomugqa wesikhathi ukuthi iminyaka eyisikhombisa yanikezwa njenge kuceliwe? Lokhu kuletha ingqikithi yesikhathi esisebenzayo somfula osuka e-Orion uye eHorologium eminyakeni eyishumi—inani lomthetho ogcwele. Sekuseduze ukuthi siqale unyaka wokugcina kuze kufike ukubuya kwesibili kweNkosi yethu 2024.

Ngokuba usuku lwempindiselo lusenhliziyweni yami, nomnyaka wokuhlengwa kwami ​​usufikile. ( Isaya 63:4 )

Uguquko olusuka e-Orion luye eHorologium lumelela umehluko phakathi kokufika kokuqala kukaKristu, lapho efika njengomhlatshelo, ekubuyeni Kwakhe kwesibili njengeNkosi yamakhosi. Lokhu kuchazwa ekudumiseni kwalabo abazungeza isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu:

Amalunga angamashumi amabili nane ahlezi phambi kukaNkulunkulu ezihlalweni zawo zobukhosi, awa phansi ngobuso, akhuleka kuNkulunkulu, athi: Siyakubonga, Nkosi Nkulunkulu Somandla, okhona nowayekhona nozayo; ngoba uzithathele amandla akho amakhulu, wabusa. (Isambulo 11: 16-17)

Ukuze ulungele umbuso kaNkulunkulu, umthetho kaNkulunkulu kufanele ulotshwe kuyo yonke imicu yobuntu bethu. Kufanele kube kuDNA yethu. I Uhlu LweSabatha Eliphakeme okwakha isakhi sofuzo sokuphila ngendlela engokomfanekiso imelelwa umfula i-Eridanus, okusho ukuthi uhambo lwethu ukusuka komunye umkhawulo kuya komunye lumele ulwazi lomuntu lokuba nomthetho kaNkulunkulu obhalwe ku-DNA.

Namuhla, isayensi iyazi ukuthi i-DNA morphs ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ishintsha isimo futhi iziphathe ngendlela ehlukile ezimeni ezahlukene. USathane (omelwe uCetus emazulwini) uzama ngokuphumelelayo ukushintsha i-DNA yomuntu futhi aphambukise inkambo yofuzo lomuntu. Ufuna iDNA yomuntu ifane neyakhe i-DNA yenyoka, kanye nesimilo somuntu ukulandela indlela yakhe yobugovu. Kodwa isimilo somhlatshelo esifanekiselwa nguKristu sibuyisela lowomfula endleleni futhi sibuyisele kumuntu leso similo esifanele, esibonakaliswa ekuzikhetheleni kwakhe komhlatshelo.

Ulotshiwe yini umthetho enhliziyweni yakho? Ingabe wonke amangqamuzana omzimba wakho asebenza ngokulalela imiyalo Yakhe, iDNA Yakhe? Umthetho kaNkulunkulu manje ufanekiselwa ezulwini ngamawashi amabili. UNkulunkulu Isikhathi, futhi umthetho Wakhe uwumbhalo wesimo Sakhe, ngakho Wethula imithetho Yakhe ngezimpawu zesikhathi. Kungakho sabona iminyaka eyizi-4000 kuze kufike esiphambanweni kanye neminyaka eyizi-6000 yesono kuze kube yilapho umhlaba uyokwahlulelwa ngomthetho. Yebo, uNkulunkulu uyabulala. Hhayi ngoba kungokwemvelo Yakhe ukwenza okubi, kodwa ngoba lapho ububi buphikelela ngaphezu kwemingcele yesikhathi asinikeze ngomusa, isikweletu sobubi ekugcineni siyafika.

Izizwe zathukuthela, kwafika ulaka lwakho, nesikhathi sabafileyo sokuba bagwetshwe, unike izinceku zakho abaprofethi umvuzo, nabangcwele, nabesabayo igama lakho, abancane nabakhulu; futhi kufanele abhubhise labo ababhubhisa umhlaba. ( IsAmbulo 11:18 )

Ewashini le-Orion, imiyalo emine yokuqala “isayinwa” njengokungathi izinkanyezi ezintathu zamabhande, ezimelela amalungu amathathu oMkhandlu Waphezulu—uBaba, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele. Kwelinye ithebula, elinye iwashi libonisa eminye imiyalo eyisithupha mayelana nesikhathi sosizi esingakaze sibe khona, esifanekiselwa yi-pendulum. Ndawonye, ​​womabili amatafula obufakazi aqalwa ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu njengoba izinkanyezi ezinomsila zilandela izinhlamvu zika-Alfa no-Omega ku i-monogram yaphezulu ngaphesheya kokubili.

Ngakho-ke umthetho manje usuqinisekisiwe futhi wethulwa emazulwini. Ngokukholwa ku Igazi likaKristu elihlawulelayo, wonke umntwana kaNkulunkulu angahamba engenasici ngokomthetho kaNkulunkulu usuku lonke lwempindiselo nomnyaka wembuyiselo, kodwa labo abangahambi ngokukholwa ngeke bame, kodwa bayothola isabelo sabo echibini lomlilo.

Ngokuba bhekani, luyeza usuku oluvutha njengeziko; bonke abaziqhenyayo, yebo, nabo bonke abenza okubi bayakuba ngamabibi, nosuku oluzayo luyakubashisa,” usho uJehova. Nkosi lamabandla, ukuze lingabatshiyi impande loba igatsha. ( Malaki 4:1 )

Isiphetho neSiqalo

Siye sachaza izibhebhe ezimbili zomthetho, njengoba zifanekiselwa isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu. Ukuze sivale lesi sihloko, ake siphawule kafushane izinto ezisele zomphongolo wesivumelwano: intonga ka-Aroni eyahluma nebhodwe lemana. Eyokuqala ichazwe ngaphambili: ifanekiselwa yinduku ye-pendulum ye-Horologium, enamaqabunga nezithelo ezikhula kuyo njengoba kuboniswa indlela yenkanyezi enomsila BB.

Ibhodwe lemana liye lachazwa ngendlela ehlukile, njengoba saqaphela ukuthi ijuba lifanekisela uMoya oNgcwele esimweni sokubhapathizwa kukaKristu. UMoya oNgcwele ungamafutha akhiqiza ukukhanya okungokomoya. Kungumlilo odla umlilo womphefumulo. Lapho sidla izwi likaNkulunkulu, kufanele silehlise ukuze lithele izithelo ekuphileni kwethu, njengoba amafutha kufanele ashiswe ukuze aveze ukukhanya kwawo. Ngakho-ke, ijuba lifanekisela ibhodwe lemana—ukudla okwehla ezulwini—elikulo lolu chungechunge mayelana nesibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu ezulwini ingxenye yokugcina.

Ingabe wenelisile umphefumulo wakho? Uma kungenjalo, sicela uthandazele uMoya oNgcwele ukuba eze phezu kwakho futhi akusize uqonde ngaphambi kokuba kwephuze kakhulu.

Manje isikhathi sizibekele ingcebo ezulwini, silungise izinhliziyo zethu, zilungele isikhathi sokuhlupheka. Yilabo kuphela abanezandla ezihlanzekile nezinhliziyo ezihlanzekile bayoma kuleso sikhathi sokuvivinywa. Manje yisikhathi sokuba umthetho kaNkulunkulu ube sezingqondweni zethu, emabunzini, futhi ulotshwe ezinhliziyweni zethu. {I-EW 57.2}

Umphongolo wesivumelwano wawuhlala endaweni engcwelengcwele. Umpristi kuphela owayevunyelwe ukulibheka, bese, kanye kuphela ngonyaka. Umpristi wayengeke alinge alivule ukuze aveze okukuyo, funa yena nalabo ababelibonile bangaqedwa. Kwakufanele ahluzeke futhi aqaphe kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe, funa atholakale ephatha ngokungafanele igazi elimelela umhlatshelo weNkosi, hhayi mayelana nobungcwele bawo.^[10] 

Ngakho manje, njengoba umkhumbi ungabonwa nje kuphela, kodwa uvuliwe—hhayi emhumeni lapho abambalwa abangafaka khona, kodwa emazulwini anezinkanyezi lapho kungekho noyedwa ongaphunyuka—lesi sizukulwane siyozwa ulaka lukaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwalabo ababhapathizwa ngobhapathizo uJesu abhapathizwa ngalo, njengoba luboniswe kulesi sibonakaliso. Ubhapathizo lomhlatshelo, ubhapathizo egazini likaJesu. Lesi sizukulwane sabangcwele ngaso leso sikhathi sihlabela abanye futhi siyizithelo^[11] we umhlatshelo wabanye, njengoba nje sonke sisindiswa ngomhlatshelo owodwa woLimele.

Yilo umyalo wami wokuba nithandane; as [ngendlela] Ngikuthandile. ( Johane 15:12 )

Ngegazi lakhe kuphela isizukulwane sikaNkulunkulu sokugcina singahlanza izandla zaso nezinhliziyo zaso ukuze sime njengesizukulwane sabapristi phambi komphongolo ongcwele kaNkulunkulu njengoba uvula. Ningehluleki ukugeza izingubo zenu egazini leWundlu. Igazi lakhe liwuphawu lwakho lokuphila.

Omunye wamalunga waphendula, wathi kimi: “Laba abembethe izingubo ezimhlophe bangobani na? bavela ngaphi na? Ngathi kuye: Nkosi, nguwe owaziyo. Yathi kimi: Laba yibo abaphuma osizini olukhulu; bahlanza izembatho zabo, bazenza zaba mhlophe egazini leWundlu. (Isambulo 7: 13-14)
