ukunakwa: nakuba silwela inkululeko kanembeza ezindabeni zokuthola umuthi wokugomela i-COVID-19 wokulinga, ASIYIVUMI imibhikisho enodlame noma udlame lwanoma yiluphi uhlobo. Lesi sihloko sikhuluma kuvidiyo enesihloko esithi Isiyalezo SikaNkulunkulu Kubabhikishi Namuhla. Seluleka ukuba nokuthula, ulondoloze isimo esingesihle, futhi uhambisane nemithetho yezempilo evamile esebenzayo endaweni yakini (njengokugqoka isifihla-buso, ukugeza izandla, nokugcina amabanga amisiwe) inqobo nje uma engahambisani nemithetho kaNkulunkulu, kuyilapho ugwema izimo ezingadinga ukuba umuntu agonywe. “Ngakho-ke hlakaniphani njengezinyoka, nibe msulwa njengamajuba” (kuMathewu 10:16).

I-Temple Institute kwa-Israel ithole amathokazi amahlanu abomvu ukuze alungiselele ukuhlanzwa okungokomkhosi kwesiza sethempeli lesithathu. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ithempeli lesithathu, osekuyiminyaka lilungiswa, selizokwakhiwa maduze? Lokho bekuyosho ukuthini ekugcwalisekeni kwesiprofetho, ukuhlwithwa, kanye nokuza koMphikukristu? Yonke le mibuzo incike encazelweni yesiprofetho esisodwa.

Umbono kaDaniyeli wamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa^[1] ingenye yeziprofetho zeBhayibheli eziyinkinga kakhulu ukuzichaza. Imibono eminingi iye yabekwa ngamazinga ahlukene okusekela kweBhayibheli nomlando, kodwa yonke ibonakala ishoda ngandlela thize. Ingabe ukhona ukhiye ongekho ozovula incazelo yawo?

Kungenzeka yini ukuthi, njengoba ukuqonda kwethu isivumelwano sekukhulile, isihluthulelo esingaqondakali salesi siprofetho esiyimpicabadala satholakala ngokungazi, silindele nje ukufakwa embotsheni kakhiye yesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa futhi siphendulwe? Kulesi sihloko, uzothola ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi izici ezisekelwa kakhulu kuzo zonke izincazelo zithola ukuhunyushwa okuvumelanayo nokunobunye okuqondile futhi okuqondile, nokho okubandakanyayo futhi okubanzi ngesikhathi esifanayo.

UJesu wathandazela ukuthi abantu Bakhe, ibandla laKhe, libe munye,^[2] kodwa kufanele sihlangane ngoMoya naseqinisweni, futhi yilokho esibona uMoya ekwenza manje. Uma unoMoya, ngokuzithoba nikela ubandlululo lwakho futhi bheka kulo lonke iqiniso. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma uneqiniso, kodwa ungenawo uMoya wothando oluhlanganisayo, thengisa ukuziqhenya kwakho, uthenge izipho ezivela eNkosini, futhi uhlanganyele etafuleni Lakhe.

Onendlebe makezwe lokho akushoyo uMoya emabandleni. ( IsAmbulo 3:22 )

Ithemba Lokukhululwa

As isiphambano sosizi kusondela ekubonakaleni, futhi usizi luba lukhulu, iNkosi isinika ithemba ngendlela yokuqonda isikhathi. Omunye wemibuzo ebaluleke kakhulu emphefumulweni ocindezelekile uwukuthi, "Kuyoze kube nini?" Kuyoze kube nini sikhuthazelela ukugconwa nezingcindezi ukuze sibhekane nonembeza wethu? Kumelwe sikhuthazelele kuze kube nini izilingo ebesingazilindele? Kuyoze kube nini ububi buchuma emhlabeni? Koze kube nini iNkosi ekugcineni ikhulula abantu Bayo ekubanjweni kwesitha?

Kuyinhloso yesiprofetho sesikhathi ukukhuthaza abakhatheleyo nokuqinisa ababuthakathaka, ukuqondisa kabusha abaphambukayo futhi kuqinise abalungile. Cishe asikho esinye isiprofetho esifaneleka kangcono kuleyonjongo ngaphandle kwesiprofetho samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa, esitholakala ekupheleni kwesahluko sesishiyagalolunye sikaDaniyeli. Kuningi okuye kwabhalwa mayelana nalesi siprofetho esithakazelisayo, kodwa ukuba yinkimbinkimbi kwaso kwenza kube inselele ukuhamba.

Noma kunjalo, ngokuqonda okuyisisekelo kwesivumelwano esikufundile kulesi sikhathi samanje uchungechunge lwesihloko, kunikeza ukukhanya okusha ngokuphelele esiprofethweni esenza okuthile okuphawuleka kakhulu okuyokwenza lesi siprofetho esineminyaka engu-2600 siphile! Lesi siprofetho simayelana nomphik'ukristu nokwakhiwa kabusha kwethempeli lesithathu; futhi imayelana nesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu nabantu Bakhe. Kumayelana naleso sivumelwano esifanayo no-Abrahama, u-Isaka, noJakobe, esathola kuso izenzakalo zasezulwini ezihlotshaniswayo kwezinye zezethu Okokugcina mayelana nenkanyezi enomsila uNkulunkulu ayisebenzisa ukuze afanekisele umphongolo waleso sivumelwano.

Njengoba sesifundile, isivumelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu Bakhe kufanele “sisayinwe” ngofakazi ukuze sisebenze. Labofakazi kumelwe bafakazele ukuthi igazi likaJesu liyasebenza ngempela ekuhlanzeni kwabo esonweni. Lobo bufakazi abukwazi ukunikezwa ngamazwi nje, kodwa kuwubufakazi bokuphila. Ofakazi bakhuluma ngokuphila kwabo.

Isiprofetho samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa saziwa kakhulu ngokuthi isiprofetho sikaMesiya ngoba sikhomba ngokunembile uJesu lapho efika ezonikela ngomnikelo wakhe esiphambanweni ngesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa. Nokho, bewazi yini ukuthi kunencazelo ecashile enkulumweni yesiHeberu esetshenziswe esiprofethweni ebhekisela kuJesu—UMesiya iNkosana^[3] —lokho kunikeza ofakazi ababili indima esiprofethweni esifanayo!? Lokhu kungenzeka ngoba igama uMesiya ngokwezwi nezwi lisho “ogcotshiweyo”. Kuyigama elifanayo uDavida ayevame ukulisebenzisa ebhekise eNkosini uSawule njengenkosi egcotshiwe yeNkosi kwa-Israyeli. Futhi prince lisho “umkhuzi (njengoba ehlezi ngaphambili), kungaba umphakathi, wezempi noma ezenkolo” Nakuba lisebenza kuJesu njengomPristi neNkosi yethu egcotshiwe, akuyena yedwa umholi ogcotshiwe lesi siprofetho esingase simbonise, izihlahla zomnqumo ezimbili nazo zingasigcwalisa:

Ngase ngiphendula, ngathi kuye. Ziyini lezi zihlahla zomnqumo ezimbili ohlangothini lwesokunene uthi lwezibani nangakwesokhohlo lwalo na? … Wabe esethi, Lezi yizo ezimbili abagcotshiweyo, abami phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke. (Funda uZakariya 4:11,14.)

Futhi lapho ofakazi ababili bechazwa kusAmbulo 11, bachazwa ngokunembile yilezi zihlahla zomnqumo ezimbili:

Futhi ngizobanika amandla ofakazi bami ababili, bayakuprofetha izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha, bembethe indwangu yamasaka. Lezi ziyizihlahla zomnqumo ezimbili. nezinti zezibani ezimbili emi phambi kukaNkulunkulu womhlaba. (Isambulo 11: 3-4)

Isiprofetho samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa asikhombanga kuphela kuFakazi othembekile noqinisile, uJesu, owasayina isivumelwano ngegazi laKhe elihlengayo, kodwa nakofakazi ababili, abafakaza ngokufanayo ngokuphila kwabo okuhlengiwe. UDaniyeli (lapho kuchazwa khona amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa) kanye nesAmbulo (lapho kuchazwa khona ofakazi ababili) kufanele kufundwe ndawonye ngoba isAmbulo siqukethe izihluthulelo ezingavula futhi zembule okuqukethwe kuDaniyeli okuvalwe uphawu.^[4] 

Into eguquguqukayo ngalokhu kuqonda ukuthi ofakazi ababili bangabadlali ababalulekile besikhathi sokuphela. Uma benendima kulesi siprofetho, khona-ke lesi siprofetho kumelwe sisitshele okuthile ngezikhathi esiphila kuzo, lapho kungadingeki ukuba simbe sijule emibhalweni yomlando wasendulo engacacile ukuze sibone ukugcwaliseka kwaso. Ukuze sithokozele ukusebenza kwayo okuphawulekayo ezikhathini zethu, nokho, kuyadingeka ukuqonda ezinye izisekelo mayelana nencazelo yendabuko ye-Christ-centric, ukufunda emlandweni ukuze unikeze isisekelo sokuqonda okwengeziwe. Ngakho-ke, ngaphandle kokuchitha isikhathi, ake siqale ukudalula lesi siprofetho, siphawule ezinye zezinselele ngaphambi kokuzixazulula ngesixazululo esiyingqayizivele esinikezwe isicelo esikabili nofakazi ababili.

Ukuhlukanisa Ngokufanele Izwi Lesikhathi

Umugqa wokuvula wesiprofetho uhlanganisa nohlu lwemisebenzi yesivumelwano okufanele ifezwe ngaphambi kokuba uJesu ahlenge abantu Bakhe:

Amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa anqunyelwe abantu bakini naphezu komuzi wakho ongcwele, ukuqeda isiphambeko, nokuqeda izono, nokwenza ukubuyisana ngobubi, nokungenisa ukulunga okuphakade, nokunamathelisa umbono nesiprofetho, nokugcoba iNgcwelengcwele. ( Daniyeli 9:24 )

Lolu hlu “lwezinto ezenziwayo” ezibalulekile lubalulekile ohlelweni lwensindiso. Abaningi baphikelela ngokuthi ukusindiswa kwaqedwa esiphambanweni, futhi leso senzo sayifeza eminingana yale misebenzi, kodwa ngokwemvelo, uma iNkosi yayifezile konke okwakudingeka ukuze isuse abantu Bayo emhlabeni, khona-ke kubuza umbuzo, kungani engayenzanga? INkosi ayilindi ngokunganaki. Ulindele ukuba kufezwe okuthile, nokuthi okuthile kuwumsebenzi ongakaqedwa walesi siprofetho! Kuze kube yilapho le misebenzi yesivumelwano isiqedwa, uJesu akakwazi ukuhlenga abantwana Bakhe kulo mhlaba ogulayo!

Iningi libala izenzo eziyisithupha ohlwini, kodwa esinye sazo—ukuvalwa kombono kanye “nomprofethi” (njengoba kungase kuhunyushwe kangcono)—singase sibalwe njengezinto ezimbili ezihlukene, lapho bekuyoba khona eziyisikhombisa, emsebenzini oqediwe! Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi lezi zinto ezimbili zizohambisana ngokwemvelo. Ukusonga lo mbono kwakuyofaka nophawu kumprofethi owayeyofeza izenzo zokugcina zesivumelwano. Kodwa sizobona ukuthi kwaba khona kanjani ukuphazamiseka okukhulu okwavimbela ukuba zombili zigcwaliseke ngenkonzo kaJesu.

Qaphela ukuthi igama elisetshenziswe elithi “amasonto” alisho iyunithi yesikhathi, kodwa limane libhekisela ebaleni eliyisikhombisa, okuyinani lokuqedwa, okusikisela ukuthi lesi siprofetho sinokuthile okuphathelene nokuletha isiphetho esiphelele sokweqa nokubuyisana. Khona kanye ubude benkonzo kaJesu yeminyaka emithathu nengxenye, ingxenye yesikhombisa, sibonisa ukuthi hhayi ephelele. Kumelwe kufike “umprofethi” othile owayezoqeda ingxenye yesivumelwano umuntu angayenza.

Inkulumo yokuqala ingahunyushwa (njengoba amanye amaBhayibheli enza okufanayo), “amashumi ayisikhombisa nesikhombisa anqunyelwe abantu bakho naphezu komuzi wakho ongcwele.” Yebo, amasonto angokoqobo angamashumi ayisikhombisa (izinsuku eziyisikhombisa), ayeyoba isikhathi esincane kakhulu ukuba singathatha kusukela ekwakhiweni kabusha kweJerusalema ngemva kokuthunjelwa eBabiloni kuze kufike uJesu ‘njengoMesiya. Ngakho-ke, isikhombisa ngokwemvelo singamelela iminyaka eyisikhombisa—okungenani kulo mongo. Lawa maviki angamashumi ayisikhombisa abekelwe:

• ukubamba ukuhlubuka (okushiwo ngokwencazelo yamagama esiHeberu),

• ukuqeda izono,

• ukwenza ukubuyisana ngobubi,

• eletha ukulunga okuphakade,

• ukuvala umbono,

• evala umprofethi, futhi

• ukugcoba okungcwelengcwele.

Lokho kuwuhlu impela! Ubani owayezokwazi ukwenza konke lokho? Ekuboneni kokuqala, singase sicabange ukuthi nguJesu kuphela owayengazigcwalisa esiphambanweni, kodwa ake sizicabangele ngokucophelela. Ingabe uJesu wakuvimba ukuhlubuka—impikiswano enkulu phakathi Kwakhe noSathane? Ukugxila kwayo kwashintsha, kodwa impi ayikanqamuki kuze kube namuhla ngemva kweminyaka ecishe ibe yizinkulungwane ezimbili. Ngokufanayo, ziye zaphela kanjani izono? Iliphi iqembu labantu eliyekile ukona? O, ukube nje iqembu elinjalo beliyozibonakalisa ngobuningi! Khona-ke umhlaba wonke wawungabona ukuthi umhlatshelo kaJesu uphumelela nakanjani! Kuningi esizokusho mayelana nalokhu, ikakhulukazi eNgxenyeni II.

Ngokuhleleka kwaphezulu nangokunemba kwezibalo, uNkulunkulu wabeka isikhathi esithile sobufakazi obunjalo bokunqoba isono ukuze bunikezwe isivumelwano. Yisikhathi salabo abagcina imiyalelo kaNkulunkulu futhi babe nobufakazi bukaJesu Kristu.^[5] Kuyenzeka kuphela ukugcina imiyalo (10) ngokukholwa (×) kuJesu (7), njengabadala abangamashumi ayisikhombisa abakhuphuka noMose entabeni yaseSinayi babona uNkulunkulu;^[6] noma abafundi abangamashumi ayisikhombisa uJesu abathuma ukwenza izimangaliso ngokholo.^[7] Ngaphezu kwalokho, umongo wenkantolo yobulungisa uboniswa yile nkulumo amashumi ayisikhombisa nesikhombisa, ngoba ukufunga (njengoba umuntu enikeza ubufakazi obufungelwe enkantolo) ngokwezwi nezwi kusho “ukuzikhomba”. Ngamanye amazwi, ubude besikhathi somthetho waphezulu bubonisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu, Lowo oquliswa icala—ufunga (7×) labo abagcina imiyalo yaKhe (10) ngokholo (×) kuJesu Kristu (7), ukuthi izenzo zesivumelwano zaziyofezwa ngaleso sikhathi (= izinsuku noma iminyaka engu-490). Zinike isikhashana uzindle ngalokho! Kunjengokungathi uNkulunkulu uthi, “Uma ngingathola ofakazi abathembekile, abalalelayo, ngingafeza icebo lokuthatha abantu Bami ngibayise ekhaya.”

UJesu wayenguManduleli, eyiSibonelo sokuqala nesisodwa sempilo ephelele yokulalela umthetho kaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa, ngakho-ke lesi sikhathi sisebenza kuYe yedwa. Ngempela, isonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa lesiphrofetho likhomba ngqo enkonzweni nokufa kukaJesu Kristu.

Yazi-ke, uqonde ukuthi kusukela ekuphumeni komyalo wokubuyisela nokwakha iJerusalema kuze kufike kuMesiya iNkosana kuyakuba ngamasonto ayisikhombisa, namasonto angamashumi ayisithupha nambili; ( Daniyeli 9:25 )

Kuleli vesi, kunikezwe izigatshana ezimbili zenkathi, kubalwa bonke ngaphandle kwesonto eledlule. Amasonto ayisikhombisa, noma iminyaka engu-49, kwaphawula isikhathi lapho udonga nomgwaqo wedolobha—indawo eyinhloko yedolobha—kwakuzokwakhiwa khona, enezela ngokuthi kwakuyokwenziwa ngezikhathi ezinzima. Khona-ke emva kwesonto lamashumi ayisithupha nesishiyagalolunye, uMesiya iNkosana (umHoli ogcotshiweyo) wayezofika endaweni. UJesu wakhonza iminyaka emithathu nengxenye ngemva kokuqala inkonzo Yakhe yasobala. Leyo impela ingxenye yesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa. Wabe esezinikela njengomnikelo ovumayo ukuba abethelwe esiphambanweni. Ngokudabukisayo, abantu Bakhe uqobo bamlahla futhi abakwazanga ukufakazela Yena, ngoba babengenakho ukuthobeka ukuze babonise ukholo ngokukholwa. Ngokumphika njengoMesiya, bavimbela ukuthi bangafeza ingxenye yabo yesu lensindiso kuze kube sekugcineni.

Yeka isimo esibi lesi esasimelela! Ukube amaJuda ayemamukele, eminyakeni emithathu nengxenye eyayisele, ayengaveza ofakazi abaningi ukuze athulise yonke impikiswano ephikisana nokuphumelela kwesibusiso sesivumelwano ababephathiswe sona. Kodwa ngenxa yokumelana kwabo nenkani, kwaba nokubambezeleka okukhulu. Lokhu kuvezwe evesini elilandelayo lesiprofetho, njengoba abahlaziyi abaningi beye bachaza.^[8] 

Emva kwamasonto angamashumi ayisithupha nambili uMesiya uyonqunywa. kodwa kungabi ngeyakhe; abantu besikhulu esiyakufika bayakuwuchitha umuzi nendlu engcwele; futhi ukuphela kwakho kuyoba ngozamcolo, futhi kuze kube sekupheleni kwempi ukuchithwa kumisiwe. ( Daniyeli 9:26 )

Umugqa wokuqala lapha (obhalwe ngokugqamile ngenhla) ukhuluma ngoJesu ehlukaniswa noYise ngenxa yezono zethu—lapho konke ukusekelwa kwasemhlabeni kwasuswa Kuye (Wanqunywa). Ivesi elisele likhuluma ngemiphumela ka-Israyeli enqaba ukufeza indima yakhe yokuveza ofakazi beNkosi. AmaRoma (“abantu besikhulu”) ekugcineni afika futhi abhubhisa umuzi nendlu engcwele, awushiya uyincithakalo ngokuphelele.

Futhi yilapho iqala khona ngempela ukuthakazelisa, kodwa ukunakekelwa kuyadingeka, ukuze singenzi ubudlova esiprofethweni. Ephuzwini lokulahla kwabo uMsindisi, kunenkathi “yesikhathi esingabaliwe” njengoba abanye besibiza kanjalo,^[9] lapho izenzakalo zalo lonke leli vesi zenzeka. Ayiboshiwe evikini lesivumelwano. Labo bantu benkosana yamaRoma (uThithu ngegama) babengenabo ubuhlobo nesivumelwano samaJuda, ngakho-ke abazange benze ngokuvumelana nesikhathi saso.

Yilapho abaningi behluleka khona ukucabangela iphuzu elilodwa elibalulekile. UNkulunkulu wacacisa, azi isiphetho kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi sasiyoba khona amashumi ayisikhombisa amasonto. Wayazi ukuthi isonto lokugcina lesivumelwano laliyobona ukubethelwa nokwenqatshwa kukaJesu ngaphambi kokufinyelela ekupheleni. Kungani Angacacisa ngamaviki angamashumi ayisikhombisa uma isiprofetho sima emavikini angamashumi ayisithupha nesishiyagalolunye nengxenye na? Kunalokho, ingqondo ingasitshela ukuthi kwakusenento ethile ngemva kokuba uJesu ebethelwe esiphambanweni ukuze aphawule iphuzu lokugcina emugqeni wesikhathi ngokuvumelana nesiprofetho, noma ngabe uhlu lwezenzo lwalungakagcwaliseki ngokuphelele.

Ngempela, kwakukhona isenzakalo esinjalo, futhi kubhekwa kakhulu eTestamenteni Elisha: ukukhandwa ngamatshe kukaStefanu.

Esikhundleni sesiphetho esikhazimulayo sombono lapho ukuhlubuka okudala kwakuyovinjwa khona futhi izono zabo zixolelwe ekupheleni kwamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa, iBhayibheli libhala ngomphumela ohluke kakhulu. Imikhondo evela Emlandweni ayisiniki usuku oluqondile lwalesi senzakalo, kodwa kwakuphakathi nokuphela kwesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa lapho ababusi bamaJuda benqotshwa ulaka lwamademoni ngokumelene noStefanu, iNkosi eyayimthumele kubo. Lapho ebona izulu livuleka, bavala izindlebe zabo, bathatha amatshe ukuba bambulale, kanjalo bazivalela izulu futhi esikhundleni salokho baletha phezu kwamakhanda abo igazi lomprofethi wokugcina owathunyelwa kwaIsrayeli.^[10] 

Abaningi baqaphela uStefanu njengomfel’ ukholo wokuqala ongumKristu kodwa bakushaya indiva ukubaluleka iBhayibheli elikunikeza indima yakhe^[11] ngokufaka i-akhawunti yakhe ende yesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu no-Israyeli—intshumayelo ende kunazo zonke ebhalwe eTestamenteni Elisha. Umbono wakhe wawungowomunye weNdodana yomuntu emi ekwahluleleni, njengoba isikhathi esabelwe isizwe siphela ngomthetho waphezulu, futhi babengasenakuba abantu bakaNkulunkulu abakhethiwe ukuba bagcwalise isivumelwano. (Kulandela ukuthi akusadingeki sigcizelele kakhulu ku-Israyeli wangempela ukuze kugcwaliseke isiprofetho, njengoba silingeka ukwenza. Ngakho, isibonelo, ofakazi besikhathi sokuphela abayizi-144,000 abanakuphuma ku-Israyeli wangempela kodwa kumelwe bavele ku-Israyeli wokholo!)

(Nakuba kunokungavumelani okuthile mayelana nokuthi yisiphi isimemezelo okufanele kuqalwe ngaso umugqa wesikhathi nokuthi kufanele kulinganiswe kanjani ngempela ukuze kufinyelelwe esiphambanweni sikaJesu, lesi sakhiwo siyindlela eqondile kakhulu, enobhapathizo lukaJesu nokukhandwa ngamatshe kukaStefanu okuhambisana nendikimba nesikhathi sesiprofetho.) U-Israyeli wayesefinyelele umkhawulo wokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu. Khumbula amazwi kaJesu kuPetru mayelana nokuthi uzothethelela isikhathi esingakanani:

Khona kwasondela uPetru kuye, wathi: “Nkosi, umfowethu uyakungona kangaki, ngimthethelela na? kuze kube kasikhombisa na? UJesu wathi kuye: “Angisho kuwe ukuthi kuze kube kasikhombisa; Kuze kube amashumi ayisikhombisa aphindwe kasikhombisa. (UMathewu 18: 21-22)

UJesu wayeyazi indlela yesikhathi somusa embonweni kaDaniyeli wamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa! Ngeshwa, ngenxa yemigqa yangaphambili yesiprofetho eyethula ukubambezeleka okude, abaningi baphetha ngokuthi ivesi lokugcina liqhubeka nencazelo yesikhulu saseRoma, kodwa empeleni, iphinda futhi yandise endikimbeni efanayo eyethulwe evesini eledlule ngemininingwane eyehlukene—uMesiya enqunywa ngaphambi kokuba umsebenzi wesivumelwano uqedwe. Ingqikithi lapha iyisivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu nabantu Bakhe, futhi akekho umRoma owayengaba nengxenye! Ulimi oluhlanganisiwe olusetshenzisiwe alusizo, kodwa nansi izincazelo ezithile zikaStrong zokucacisa:

Futhi uyakuqinisa [“qina” ngo] isivumelwano nabaningi isonto elilodwa: futhi phakathi nesonto uyakuqeda umhlatshelo nomnikelo; kanye nokusabalala [“umphetho noma umkhawulo”, okungukuthi, umkhawulo] uyakulenza libe yincithakalo; ngisho kuze kube sekugcineni [“ukuqedwa”], futhi lokho okunqunyiwe kuyakuthululelwa phezu kwencithakalo. ( Daniyeli 9:27 )

NguJesu ukufa kwakhe kwaqeda inkonzo yomhlatshelo, futhi kubhekisela phakathi nesonto, lapho ebethelwa esiphambanweni. Uma siveza leli vesi sisebenzisa ulimi olulula futhi siliqhathanise nevesi eledlule, kungasiza ukuliqonda:

Idolobha labo iJerusalema laliyokwenziwa incithakalo kuze kutholakale isizukulwane esithembekile esasizomamukela ngokuhlanganyela futhi isiprofetho sipheleliswe. Khona-ke ukuvutha kolaka lukaNkulunkulu (“lokho [okumisiwe]”) ekugcineni kwakuyothululwa phezu komuzi oyincithakalo. Ngokuthakazelisayo, izinguqulo eziningi zihumusha igama lokugcina ngokuthi “umchithi” libhekisela kumaRoma achitha leli dolobha. Umehluko uyancipha lapho umuntu eqonda ukuthi ekugcineni, amaRoma, iBabiloni, neJerusalema, ahlangana (nge-typology) abe yinto eyodwa, yesikhathi sokuphela yamanga nokuhlubuka (okufana kakhulu maduze-ukuvula Abrahamic Family House, ehlanganisa isonto lamaRoma, isonto lamaSulumane “laseBhabhiloni” kanye nesinagoge lamaJuda).

Ukuphela Kwencithakalo

Ngenxa yokufakwa kwezenzakalo esiprofethweni ezingahambelani nesimiso sesikhathi samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa esishiwo, abaningi baye baphetha ngokuthi lesi siprofetho kumelwe siphele ngokubhujiswa kweJerusalema. Abanye basikisela ukuthi ikhomba ekupheleni kwesikhathi kanye nokubhujiswa kwezwe mayelana Umphik'ukristu. Ikuphi okuyiqiniso?

Lena akuyona imibono engenasisekelo, futhi amakholwa aqotho afuna ukuqonda izwi likaNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo ethobekile anamathela kweminye yale mibono ehlukene. Uma likhuluma ngokuphela kwezwe, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuliqonda! Nokho, noma yimuphi umbono uwodwa awunakugcwaliseka okuphelele kwalesi siprofetho. Ngeke sikuzibe ukuthi isiprofetho sikhuluma ngencithakalo esabekayo nokubhujiswa. Nokho, lokho akwenzekanga phakathi nenkathi yesikhathi yamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa eyaphela ngokukhandwa ngamatshe uStefanu, futhi uma isonto lokugcina lahlukaniswa nesiprofetho sonke, kwakuyokwenza ubudlova ekuhambeni okuqhubekayo kwesikhathi futhi kwenze buthaka lesi siprofetho sesikhathi esicacile ukuze sibhekisele esikhathini esingashiwongo sesikhathi esizayo.

Kodwa-ke, ngisho nemizamo engcono kakhulu yokuzama ukusebenzisa sonke isiprofetho kunoma yisiphi isikhathi esisodwa siphumela ekuchazeni okungakaze kuhambisane ngokuphelele nalokho okucacisiwe. Lesi esinye sezizathu eziyinhloko ezenza kube nemibono eminingi kangaka engqubuzanayo maqondana nalesi siprofetho!

Kuyasiza ukucabangela ukuthi uNkulunkulu akacabangi ngomkhondo owodwa nje, futhi kubonakala sengathi iziprofetho Zakhe azivamile ukukhawulelwa ebuhlotsheni bomuntu nomuntu nokugcwaliseka kwazo. Isiphetho esingasithola kulezi zinto siwukuthi sonke isiprofetho amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa kufanele aphinde futhi—hhayi nje isonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa kuphela. Khona-ke isiprofetho singaba kuqedile okwesibili nxazonke, ukwakha phezu ukugcwaliseka kwalezo zenzo esezifeziwe kakade ngesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa lokusetshenziswa komlando. Lokhu, nokho, kuzodinga ukuthi umaka ngamunye wesikhathi esiprofethweni aqondaniswe aphinde ukuze kusetshenziswe izikhathi zokugcina zamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa—uhlelo olude, ngokuqinisekile! Noma kunjalo, uzobona ukuthi yilokhu uNkulunkulu akwenzile ngofakazi Bakhe ababili.

Ufakazi oyedwa akayikumvukela umuntu ngobubi banoma yisiphi isono noma ngesono kunoma yisiphi isono one ngaso; ngomlomo wawofakazi ababili noma ngomlomo wawofakazi abathathu indaba iyakuqiniswa. ( Duteronomi 19:15 )

Izindlela zeNkosi ziphakeme kunezindlela zethu,^[12] futhi lapho thina bheka phezulu, Uyasihola kulo lonke iqiniso. Ngokuqonda iwashi lasezulwini elikhomba ofakazi ababili (iSmirna neFiladelfiya) nesiphambano sabo, futhi ngokuqhathanisa lokho nephethini yamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa omlando, singanquma ukuthi umugqa wesikhathi ungangena kanjani.

The kuqinisekiswe kathathu Usuku lwamawashi amathathu lobuNkulunkulu lungoMashi 8 (ka-2023). Lokhu kufanele kube usuku olubaluleke kakhulu! Ewashini ngalinye, lalisezingeni elihlobene eduze nomhlatshelo.^[13] Kuthiwani uma isiprofetho samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa sisinika inkomba yokuthi leliphuzu lika-March 8, 2023, kufanele liwele phakathi nesonto, kunokuba libe sekupheleni, njengoba uJesu abethelwa esiphambanweni phakathi nesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa na?

Uma sicabanga ukuthi kunesikhathi sesibili sezinsuku ezintathu nengxenye ngemva kwalesi esimakwe njengenkanyezi enomsila i-K2^[14] weqa imishayo emibili yesiphambano eHorologium, nokuthi lezi ndawonye zihlanganisa isonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa, khona-ke sinehange lesicelo sezikhathi zokuphela okungenzeka samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa.^[15] Ukugcwalisa izinsuku ngokwephethini yesiprofetho esingokomlando, ukusetshenziswa kokuhlakanipha kwansuku zonke kungabukeka kanje:

Iviki lokugcina lingafanelana kanjani namawashi asezulwini kulesi simo? Usuku lokugcina lwesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa kuzoba iSabatha, March 11, 2023. Kodwa-ke, uma sibhekisisa iwashi lasezulwini, singabona ukuthi ukuphela kwezinsuku ezintathu nengxenye ezichazwe yinkanyezi enomsila kudlula amahora ambalwa osukwini lwesiHeberu lukaMashi 11/12, 2023. NgoMashi 12, 2023, baphunyuka ngalé kwewashi le-BB, bafika ngale kwewashi le-KB.^[16] yangena endaweni yewashi ngoJuni 12, 2021, lapho sifuna iwashi lokuhlwithwa okuphezulu (ngaphandle kokwazi ngaleli washi leHorologium):^[17] 

Mhlawumbe iwashi lethu lokuhlwithwa kufanele libe elangoMashi 12, 2023, kunokuba libe ngoMashi 8, ngaphandle kokunciphisa ukubaluleka kwe-8.^th. Uma kunjalo, khona-ke ekupheleni kwamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa, abalungileyo babeyobona izulu livuleka njengoStefanu futhi babeyolalela izwi elibabiza ngokuthi “Khuphukani lapha!” ngo-March 12, 2023. Ngaleso sikhathi, izincithakalo zokugcina zaziyothululelwa abenqaba isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu no. eyodwa (hhayi amaJuda kuphela), njengoba isivumelwano sasiyogcwaliseka ngaleso sikhathi.

Kodwa imuphi “umuzi” lesi siprofetho esasizobhekisela kuwo, owawuyoba incithakalo ekupheleni kwala masonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa? Ingabe yilona iJerusalema lika-Israyeli wanamuhla elamiswa ngo-1948? Akunjalo neze! Lapho uNkulunkulu esebalahlile njengabantu baKhe, isizwe sakwa-Israyeli saba isingathekiso sika-Israyeli ongokomoya, ngakho kufanele sibheke esizweni lapho abantu baKhe baka-Israyeli ongokomoya begcwele khona namuhla. “Inhloko-dolobha” yezwe lobuKristu, indikimba ka-Israyeli ongokomoya, kufanele igxile enkolweni yobuProthestani, futhi kuneriphabhuliki eyodwa ethandwa kakhulu emhlabeni eyasungulwa ezimisweni zobuProthestani futhi eyanelisa izimo zalesi siprofetho (nezinye). Iminyaka eminingi, bekuyisizwe esinethonya elikhulu emhlabeni kwezepolitiki, kwezomnotho, nakwezempi: i-United States of America.^[18] 

Kuze kube manje, sibheke kuphela isici esizayo salo mugqa wesikhathi ongenzeka, njengoba uphathelene nesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa, kodwa izinsuku zengxenye yokuqala yomugqa wesikhathi sezidlulile. Besingadinga izehlakalo ezibalulekile nezifanele ezizofanelana nezincazelo zebhayibheli ngalezo zinsuku, uma lo mugqa wesikhathi—kuhlanganise nesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa, osekusesikhathini esizayo—ungaqinisekiswa.

Ngokumangalisayo, akudingeki ukuba umuntu afune isikhathi eside ukuze athole “isinqumo” ekuqaleni kwalawa masonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa. Imvamisa, i-United States Congress ayihlangani ngemva kwamahora—ikakhulukazi ekupheleni kwesonto lomsebenzi—kodwa ngoLwesihlanu, ngo-November 5, 2021, kwaba necala elikhethekile. Umthethosivivinywa kaMongameli Biden womlando, wengqalasizinda wama-trillion dollar wawuphansi, futhi wayesebenza izingcingo kuze kube sebusuku kakhulu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi unamavoti awadingayo ukuze liphumelele. Ekugcineni, ngaphambi nje kwamabili, umthethosivivinywa wedlulisa iNdlu, okusho ukuthi wawuzoba umthetho—untula nje isiginesha esiqinisekisiwe sikamongameli ngokwakhe.

NgoMgqibelo ekuseni, Novemba 6, 2021, uJoe Biden ojabule wenza isimemezelo ukuthi lesi “sinyathelo esiyisikhumbuzo esiya phambili” ngabe kwakha igridi kagesi egulayo, izinhlelo zamanzi, imigwaqo, amabhuloho, amachweba, i-broadband, ezokuthutha zomphakathi nokunye. Uqale inkulumo yakhe ngokubiza inkulumo ethi “isonto lengqalasizinda,”^[19] esize ukumela imizamo eminingi ehlulekile yokuqalisa lokho eyayikuthembisile: “ukubuyisela nokwakha”.

Lesi simemezelo esiqala amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa sifanelana ngokuphelele nencazelo yeBhayibheli, futhi qaphela ukuthi siqinisekisa lokho umuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema, okumelelayo kulesi siprofetho: iUnited States, lesosilo esinjengewundlu esinezimpondo ezimbili,^[20] emelela amandla ayo omphakathi nawokuziphatha njengeriphabhulikhi enezindinganiso zobuProthestani.

Nokho, akulona idethi kuphela okufanele icatshangelwe. INkosi icacisa amaphuzu amaningi ngesikhathi ukuze asebenze njengeziqinisekiso, ukuze anikeze ubufakazi obanele bokusekela ukholo lwayo. Lena into eyodwa eyenze lesi siprofetho saba inselele kakhulu, ngoba wonke amaphuzu adinga ukuhambisana nomlando ukuze aphumele ekusetshenzisweni okusebenzayo. Lokhu sekuholele ekuhumusheni okuningi (ngaphandle kwalokho osekuvele kuvela ekungacaci kahle kolimi ngokwalo). Uma elinye iphuzu emugqeni wesikhathi lingagxiliswa kumcimbi ogcwalisekile, lapho-ke singaba nethemba elikhulu lokuthi wonke umugqa wesikhathi ulungile.

Iphuzu elilandelayo liwuphawu lwamasonto ayisikhombisa ngoMgqibelo, Disemba 25, 2021. Isizwe sasijabulela iholide “likaKhisimusi” lobuqaba—okuyinto ngempela yokugujwa kosuku lokuzalwa lukaNimrode. Kodwa ngalolo suku, abaningi babebuka inkanyezi ehlukile kunaleyo ephezu kwesihlahla sabo sikaKhisimusi; kuma-TV nakumakhompyutha emhlabeni wonke, izibukeli zazibukele ukuqala kwenkathi entsha. I-James Webb Space Telescope yezigidigidi eziyishumi ibiqala ukusebenza emkhathini ukuze ibheke emuva emkhathini wakuqala ifuna umkhondo womsuka wayo. Nakuba bonke bengase bazazise izithombe ezinhle zendalo kaNkulunkulu ezithwebulayo, isibonakude simelela okungaphezu nje komzamo ongokwesayensi. NjengoMongameli Biden ngokuqhosha ngokuphindaphindiwe mayelana "nokubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe" okuholwa yi-US, "ayikho into engaphezu kwamandla ethu." Lokhu kufana ngokuphawulekayo nendaba yeBhayibheli yombhoshongo wasekuqaleni kaNimrode waseBabele ngokwawo:

Basebesithi: Hambani, masakhe umuzi nombhoshongo osiqongo sawo singafinyelela ezulwini; masizenzele igama, funa sihlakazeke ebusweni bomhlaba wonke. Futhi i Nkosi yehla ukubona umuzi nombhoshongo abawakhile abantwana babantu. Futhi i Nkosi wathi: “Bheka, abantu munye, futhi bonke banolimi lunye; futhi lokhu baqala ukukwenza. futhi manje akukho lutho oluyovinjwa kubo, okuyinto ababecabanga ukuyenza. (UGenesise 11: 4-6)

Ekusetshenzisweni komlando, amasonto okuqala ayisikhombisa abelwa ukwakha idolobha nokubuyisela isiko. Kungaba okunengqondo uma ekusetshenzisweni kwesikhathi sokuphela, bakhomba ukwakhiwa kombhoshongo osiqongo sawo sifinyelela ezulwini? Lokhu kungasikisela ubuhlobo phakathi kwe-United States neBhabhiloni, obusekelwa kabanzi abaningi abanoMoya wokuprofetha namuhla. Izigaba ezintathu zikaWebb zezibuko eziyisithupha (6 + 6 + 6) zegolide, ezivikelwe kunoma yikuphi ukukhanya okuvela elangeni, zakha iso elikhulu, eliqala ukubheka ezulwini kwalinganiswa udrako,^[21] ngaleyo ndlela “iphrintiwe” nomfanekiso wayo kusukela ekuqaleni. Lesi sibonakude asiyena omunye ngaphandle kweso elibona konke eliwuSathane elingatholakala kuwo wonke amasiko nesikhathi, kusukela kumbhalo we-hieroglyphics wasendulo waseGibhithe kuya kubhili yedola.

Lokhu kungaba wubufakazi bokuthi umbhoshongo waseBabele (okungukuthi, iBabiloni) usuwakhiwe kabusha futhi isiqongo sawo sesifinyelele ezulwini. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kufanekisela nomfanekiso waseBabiloni wendoda yegolide,^[22] ukugubha lokho umuntu angakufeza, kanye nenhloso yakhe yokubusa phakade ngaphandle komlandeli. Lowo umgomo omkhulu womzamo wokuthola amaplanethi okuhlalwa kuwo: ukubusa kwamakoloni.

UNkulunkulu ubengeke amelane nomuntu ukwenza konke abangakucabanga uma bezithiba ukuze bagcine imicabango yabo ingaphakathi kwemingcele yokuziphatha ebekwe yiMithetho Eyishumi. Kodwa umuntu ongalungiseki uhahela amandla futhi uzibeka ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu. Namuhla, umuntu uthi akamdingi uNkulunkulu; udidekile ngentuthuko yobuchwepheshe babantu, ugomela ngokuthi “akukho okungaphezu kwamandla ethu.” Ugqolozele ekuqaleni kwendawo yonke kusukela ekugcineni kwawo, ngamehlo ahahayo okwengane efuna ukushayela imoto kayise. Umuntu ufuna amandla okuba umdali wakhe. Namuhla, isintu sihambisana nesisekelo sofuzo esingabonakali sempilo, futhi silungisa okuhle imigudu yamadwala emkhathi. Kuyokwenzekani ngokufinyelela kobuntwana okunjalo “kwesondo lokuqondisa” likaNkulunkulu lokudala? Ingabe sikulungele ukuthatha umthwalo wemfanelo ngezenzo ezinjalo? Singabona isiphetho kusukela ekuqaleni?

Izehlakalo ezimbili ezingokomlando “kanye esizukulwaneni”—njengoba uBiden abiza umthethosivivinywa wakhe wengqalasizinda—zafika ngaso kanye izikhathi ezishiwo ngokwesiprofetho seBhayibheli esineminyaka engu-2600 ubudala, isonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa laqiniswa ngesikhathi ngewashi likaNkulunkulu kumlaza weHorologium, konke kufanelana kahle nomfanekiso weBhayibheli. Lezi yizizathu zokukholelwa ukuthi amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa esimanje awabhekiseli e-United States kuphela, kodwa “ekubambisaneni kwamazwe ngamazwe”^[23] yesimiso sezilo zembulunga yonke, iBabiloni, elimelelwe umbhoshongo waseBhabhele nomfanekiso wegolide wenkosi yaseBabiloni. Nalapha futhi, sithola ukuthi iBabiloni, iJerusalema, nobuKristu bezihlubuki kuhlanganiswe esiprofethweni esifanayo, njengokungathi kuwumuzi ofanayo. Akufani nesiphrofetho sofakazi ababili, esichaza “umuzi omkhulu” lapho uJesu abethelwa khona esiphambanweni (iJerusalema) ngokweSodoma (njenge-US, ehola umhlaba wonke ngezivikelo zayo zombuso wobungqingili) kanye neGibhithe elikholelwa kunkulunkulu abaningi (njengeBhabhiloni elinobuningi):

Izidumbu zabo ziyakuba semgwaqweni womuzi omkhulu othiwa ngokomoya iSodoma neGibithe, lapho neNkosi yethu yabethelwa khona. ( IsAmbulo 11:8 )

Kuleli qophelo, sidinga ukuhlehla ukuze sibone kakhudlwana isithombe esikhulu. Lapho uJesu ebethelwa esiphambanweni phakathi nesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa emgqeni wesikhathi womlando, amatafula aphendulwa kuYe ngokuhlubuka kwabantu baKhe aletha imfoloko enkulu yesikhathi emlandweni womhlaba. Isiprofetho sesivumelwano samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa sasingeke sigcwaliseke ngokuphelele phakathi nesikhathi esinqunyiwe, okuholela ekubhujisweni nasekubhujisweni komuzi, ithempeli, nabantu, futhi kudingeke ukuba kuhlehliswe kakhulu ukukhululwa. Indlu engcwele kwakuyodingeka ihlanzwe ngaphambi kokuba isivumelwano simiswe kabusha. Futhi eqinisweni, lesi siprofetho samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa sifika ngokwengqikithi yesiprofetho eside kakhulu esibekwe esahlukweni esandulele sencwadi kaDaniyeli, futhi lesi siprofetho eside sinikeza isikhathi kuze kube yilapho indawo engcwele kufanele ihlanzwe futhi umugqa wesikhathi wamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa wesivumelwano uqalwe kabusha.^[24] 

Ukubambezeleka Okude, Okuprofethiwe

Uma sibuyela emuva ukuze sibheke isithombe esikhulu, siyabona ukuthi isiprofetho samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa siyingxenye enemininingwane yesiprofetho eside sezinsuku ezingama-2300 esanikezwa uDaniyeli esahlukweni esandulele:

Ngase ngizwa ongcwele ekhuluma, nomunye ongcwele wathi kulowo owakhulumayo: “Uyoze kube nini umbono womnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke nesiphambeko esichithayo ukuba kunyathelwe indawo engcwele nebandla na? Wathi kimi. Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona indlu engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa. ( Daniyeli 8:13-14 )

Isihloko esivezwe esiprofethweni samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa sibalulekile futhi sibalulekile kangangokuthi sithatha umbono omangalisayo ongaphezu kowodwa. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uma sinencazelo efanele yamaviki angama-70, kufanele sikwazi ukuqonda ukuthi sonke isikhathi sezinsuku ezingama-2300 sihlangana kanjani, hhayi nje amaviki angama-70 kuphela! Lokhu kuyinto abafundi beBhayibheli abambalwa baze bayizame, nokho ubuhlobo phakathi kwalezi ziprofetho ezimbili bucacile, njengoba sizobona.

Lokhu kwengeza olunye ungqimba lobunkimbinkimbi ekuchazeni amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa, ngoba ayingxenye yohlelo lwesikhathi olungalawuleki lweminyaka engu-2300 oluhlanganisa ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yomlando wesintu! Ngombono ofanele, iwela kahle endaweni, nokho. Ake sibheke kafushane ukuthi kungani sixhuma lezi ziprofetho ezimbili, nokuthi lokhu kuye kwenziwa kanjani ngokomlando, ngoba lokhu kuzosinika ukuqonda lapho sithatha isinyathelo esilandelayo futhi sisebenzise izinsuku ezingu-2300 ngokulandelana kwethu okusha kwesikhathi sokuphela!

UDaniyeli wathinteka kakhulu embonweni weSahluko 8, lapho amandla ayeyokwenza incithakalo agcizelelwa khona, futhi wayefuna ukukuqonda, kodwa akekho owayekwazi:

Mina Daniyeli ngaphela amandla, ngagula izinsuku ezithile; ngasengisukuma, ngenza umsebenzi wenkosi; futhi Ngamangala ngombono, kodwa kakho owaqondayo. (UDaniel 8: 27)

Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, ngemva kokuzwa cishe iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa ukuthi iJerusalema liyohlala liyincithakalo,^[25] UDaniyeli wafuna iNkosi emthandazweni omude olotshwe eSahlukweni 9. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho ingelosi yabuya khona izomtshela ngamaviki angamashumi ayisikhombisa, imkhomba ekusebenzeni kweqiniso kombono wakhe wangaphambili.^[26] Ngakho-ke, kufanele sibheke amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa engqikithini yalowo mbono kaDaniyeli 8, ogxile ekuthuthukisweni kombuso wamaRoma owawuzobethela uJesu esiphambanweni futhi ubhubhise indlu engcwele. Uma sengeza lo mbono njengenye ikholomu esiqhathanisweni sethu sevesi langaphambilini, ukufana kungabonakala ngokucacile:

Isiprofetho sangaphambili sibhekisela ezenzakalweni ezifanayo, kodwa ngombono ohlukile. Njengoba iqhubeka, kuzwakala ukukhala okujwayelekile kwabangcwele abashushiswayo, kunanela ukulangazelela kukaDaniyeli ukuqonda isikhathi:

Ngase ngizwa ongcwele ekhuluma, nomunye ongcwele wathi kulowo owayekhuluma. Isikhathi eside kangakanani kuyakuba ngumbono ngomnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke, nesiphambeko esiyincithakalo, ukunikelwa kwendlu engcwele nebandla. [abantu] ukunyathelwa ngezinyawo? ( Daniyeli 8:13 )

Impendulo yalo mbuzo kufanele ivumele umuntu ukuba azi ukuthi incithakalo yayiyoqhubeka isikhathi esingakanani, okwaba umphumela wokwenqaba kwamaJuda uJesu. Isikhathi esinikezwe impendulo side impela:^[27] 

Wathi kimi: Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona indlu engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa. ( Daniyeli 8:14 )

Ukuze singaguquguquki (njengoba iziprofetho ezimbili zixhumene) kufanele sisebenzise izinsuku ezingama-2300 ngendlela efanayo namaviki angamashumi ayisikhombisa. Okusho ukuthi, ukusebenzisa amasonto angokoqobo angamashumi ayisikhombisa kusho ukuthi kufanele sisebenzise izinsuku zangempela ezingama-2300, kuyilapho ukusetshenziswa komlando, iminyaka engama-490 ingasho iminyaka engama-2300. Isiqalo singatholwa yiqiniso lokuthi amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa kuthiwa “ayonqunywa”—kusuka kulo mongo omude ongokwesiprofetho.

Kunqunywa amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa [EkaStrong's: “qunyiwe” noma “inqunyiwe”] phezu kwabantu bakho naphezu komuzi wakho ongcwele,… (Daniyeli 9:24)

Ngamanye amazwi, lawo maviki angamashumi ayisikhombisa eminyaka adlula umugqa wesikhathi weminyaka engu-2300; bayingxenye eklanyelwe inhloso ethile (njengoba sixoxile ezigabeni ezedlule). Ngawo-1830 kanye nama-'40s, lokhu kwakungesinye sezici ezibalulekile zezibalo zikaWilliam Miller ezagqugquzela ukuvuka Okukhulu. Esimweni esingokomlando, esiqala ngomthetho ka-Aritahishashita ngo-457 BC wokwakha kabusha iJerusalema,^[28] iminyaka engu-2300 yelula kwaze kwaba ngu-1844, lapho ukuhlanzwa kwendlu engcwele kwakuzokwenzeka ngokwesiprofetho.

KwakusePulazini likaWilliam Miller eNew England lapho abalandeli bakhe abaningi, ababizwa ngokuthi abakwaMillerite, beza khona bezohlala naye, futhi ekugcineni babukela naye “edwaleni lokwenyuka” ukuze uJesu eze futhi ahlanze umhlaba njengendawo engcwele.

Nokho, singamthethelela uMiller ngokukholelwa ukuthi ukuhlanzwa kwendlu engcwele kwakumelela ukuhlanzwa komhlaba ngomlilo ezinsukwini zokugcina, ngoba isibonelo sokubhujiswa kweJerusalema nendlu yalo engcwele sibonisa ngempela ukubhujiswa kwezwe ngomlilo ekupheleni kwesikhathi. Kungase kube okunembile ukuhlobanisa ukuhlanzwa kwendlu engcwele nokuphela kwezwe; kwakungelona nje uhlelo lokusebenza olufanele ukuphela kwe zomlando Isiprofetho sezinsuku ezingama-2300.

Indawo Engcwele, Ihlanziwe

Uma besingasebenzisa lesi siprofetho sezinsuku ezingama-2300 emasontweni ethu angempela angamashumi ayisikhombisa, kufanele sibale izinsuku ezingama-2300 siqala emyalweni kaMongameli uBiden wokubuyisela ingqalasizinda yase-US? Akunjalo! Khumbula ukuthi iBhayibheli alisho ukuthi yikuphi ukuphela kwezinsuku ezingu-2300 amasonto angu-70 ‘anqunywa’ kuzo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona ukungaqondakali kwenkulumo ethi, “khona indlu engcwele iyohlanjululwa.” Kungasho noma lapho ukuhlanzwa kuzoqala, noma lapho kufanele kuqedwe. Njengoba kwenzeka, ukuhlanzwa okwenzeka ngosuku lukaMiller kwakungesona isiphetho njengoba ayekulindele, kodwa kwakuyisiqalo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ekusetshenzisweni kwesikhathi sokuphela, lapho umbono uvalwa, ukuhlanzwa obekuqhubeka kufanele kuqedwe ekugcineni!

Njengoba abakwaMiller babuthana epulazini belindele ukubuya kweNkosi ngesikhathi saYo esimisiwe ngokombono kaDaniyeli wezinsuku ezingamakhulu amabili namakhulu amathathu, kanjalo futhi kukhona ipulazi lapho abantu babuthana khona belindele ukubuya kweNkosi ngokwesikhathi esimisiwe ekusetshenzisweni kwesikhathi sokuphela kwesiprofetho esifanayo. Lelo pulazi lingabonakala ngokuzulazula umugqa wesikhathi ukuya ekuqaleni kwalo. Ukususa izinsuku ezingama-2300 osukwini lokugcina lwamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa ngoMashi 2300, 11, siza Ngo-Novemba 22, 2016:

The I-WhiteCloudFarm.org Iwebhusayithi yaba bukhoma kanye kanye nokushicilelwa kwesihloko sethu sokuqala lapho, sikhumbuza umhlaba ukuthi UNkulunkulu akalona nje Uthando, kodwa futhi Isikhathi! Sakhetha lolosuku ngoba kwakungesesibili usuku lwesikhombisa lomkhosi wamadokodo.^[29] ncamashi inyanga eyodwa yebhayibheli emva kwethuba lokuhlwithwa kwangaphambi kosizi elachithwa, njengoba abanye bephuphile (kuchaza Sihlangene Esiphambanweni Sosizi). Ngokushesha, sathola ukuthi kwakunjalo isiqalo lokuzwakala kwe amacilongo ezulwini.

INkosi ayigcini nje ngokutshela abantu Bayo ukuthi balinde nini, kodwa Ibatshela ukuthi sikuphi isibaya Sayo sesikhathi sokuphela, lapho izimvu Zakhe kufanele zibuthane khona, cishe. Lokhu akushiwo kalula, kungathi itulo lokukhangisa ukwenza izinombolo zethu zikhuphuke. Lokhu singakusho ngoba sibona ukubaluleka kweBhayibheli uNkulunkulu akunikeze le nkonzo. Besingazi ukuthi i uMiller wesibili yayihlotshaniswa nesiprofetho sezinsuku ezingu-2300 njengomanduleli wakhe, noma ngisho nokuthi izinsuku ezingu-2300 zaziyoba nokunye ukusebenza kwesikhathi sokuphela, kodwa lapho sesilandele umugqa wesikhathi weBhayibheli emuva ekuqaleni kwawo, kwaba sobala ngokuthuka.

Asicacise ngokuthile, nokho. Emndenini webandla likaNkulunkulu owandisiwe, sonke sinezindima nemisebenzi ehlukene njengamalungu ahlukene omzimba. Kungenzeka ukuthi iNkosi ikhomba lenkonzo ngendlela ekhethekile, iyenze igqame ngokwesiprofetho, kodwa nathi ngokwethu siyakudinga ukuphumula komzimba. Ekuqaleni sasiyingxenye yeBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist, elahlangana kulo ezihlukahlukene 19^th-amasonto amaProthestani ekhulwini leminyaka ngesikhathi sikaWilliam Miller kanye ne-Great Advent Awakening. Kodwa “imiyalezo yesikhathi” ayizange idume.

Lokhu kusiletha ekukhulumeni ngephuzu elibalulekile iNkosi ebonakala ishayela ekhaya: isikhathi sokuqonda asigcini nje ngezinsuku nokubala, ngoba lowo mcabango uthatha ngokuthi iNkosi inohlelo olumisiwe, olungaguquki lokuthi uzofika nini, futhi ngeke luguquke. Ngalowo mcabango odlangile, ubudlelwano bomuntu noNkulunkulu buyajivazwa, njengokungathi ukubuya Kwakhe kumayelana nesikhathi hhayi ngabantu Bakhe. Kodwa uNkulunkulu unguBaba ngokoqobo, futhi iNkosi enguMkhwenyana wethu. UyiSikhathi, ngakho Usebenza ngohlelo, kodwa Uluthando, ngakho Uhlela isikhathi Sakhe ngokomlobokazi waKhe!

Ingabe ukulungele ukuhlangana Naye? Uma kunjalo, bhalani amakhalenda enu, ngoba iNkosi imise usuku lokusiletha emshadweni! Kepha uma bengekho ofakazi bokusayina isivumelwano somshado, njengoba sibona umthetho Wakhe unjalo,^[30] isikhathi sisazophinde sidlule, futhi kuyodingeka eqhamuke nezindlela ezintsha, ezihlakaniphe nakakhulu ukuze agcwalise izwi Lakhe. Kuyoze kube nini we linda? Kuyoze kube nini senza iNkosi ibambezele umshado Wayo? Masisukume njengabantu futhi sinikeze ubufakazi obuhlangene bothando olungenakunyakaziswa Ngaye nangomunye nomunye, noma yikuphu okungezeka!

Kuyo yonke le minyaka, iNkosi isiholile ezifundweni eziningi futhi yathuthukisa ukuqonda kwethu izindikimba ezibalulekile. Ngokwesibonelo, cabanga ngophawu lwesilo. Abaningi abanandaba nokwamukela uphawu ngoba bayazi ukuthi kuza ngemva kokuhlwithwa kwebandla—futhi ngokobuchwepheshe, bangase baqinisile. Nokho, abangakucabangi ukuthi kukhona futhi isithombe futhi inombolo yesilo amaKristu okufanele asigweme ngokufanayo, futhi lezi sezivele zifikile! Ngibe nawe waqonda umehluko? Ngokuvamile, ungafunda lapha mayelana isikhathi sokuvakashelwa kwethu, futhi ungase qonda amaphupho akho kangcono ngenxa yalokho.

Akashongo yini uJehova ukuthi: “Phumani kulo, bantu bami, na”? Esihlokweni sethu esilandelayo, uzoqonda ukuthi kungani lo myalo unikezwa, nokuthi “yena” ungubani ngempela esimweni sethu sanamuhla. (Qinisekisa ukuthi ubhalisele yethu I-Alnitak Newsletter kuTelegram ukuze zaziswe lapho isinyatheliswa!) Ingabe izimvu zeNkosi kufanele ziphume eBabiloni zilambile futhi zomile, zizulazula ngokungenanjongo ehlane zifuna ukondliwa, noma ingabe uNkulunkulu uzibonisa ipulazi elithile lapho kukhona amadlelo aluhlaza (iqiniso lamanje), amanzi athambile (ukunyakaziswa koMoya), kanye netafula eliphanayo elendlalwe (elinezitha ezinkulu ezinomsoco) phambi kwezitha zethu ezingokomoya?

Nezinye izimvu nginazo, ezingezona ezalesi sibaya; nazo kufanele ngizilethe, futhi bayolizwa izwi lami; futhi kuyoba umhlambi owodwa, nomalusi munye. (UJohn 10: 16)

Ingabe uzofika Isiphephelo eGosheni? Isimemo sisavuliwe, kodwa isikhathi siya ngasemaphethelweni ngokushesha. Izinguquko emhlabeni esizibonile selokhu kwaqala usizi lwe-Covid ziyanda, futhi maduze iBabiloni lizowa ngokuphelele. Ngisho noma ungakuboni ukucekelwa phansi okukhulu ngokomzimba—ngaphandle kwe-Ukraine—kuthiwani ngokucekelwa phansi komnotho? Ukuwa kweBabiloni, phela, akuchazwanga kuphela ngokwesimo senyama esihlungwini sesikhombisa, kodwa nangokwezimali kuSambulo 18.

Lokhu kuphakamisa omunye umbuzo. Kungaba khona yini ingxenye yezezimali esiprofethweni sikaDaniyeli esingakayiqondi kuze kube manje (uma sibheka ukuthi ihlobene nokuwa kweBabiloni lanamuhla)? Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayeyokufeza kanjani lokho? Lungela ukubona ubuhle obumangalisayo endleleni iNkosi ehlanganisa ngayo izwi Layo!

I-Symmetry yesikhathi

Ngokuvamile kuba njalo ngesiprofetho ukuthi amagama afanayo abhekisela ezihlokweni ezingaphezu kwesisodwa ngesikhathi esisodwa. Lokho kuwuphawu lweminwe lobuhlakani baphezulu. Nokho konke kusongwe ngephakeji emfushane, ehlelekile. UNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu wokuhleleka, ubuhle, ukulinganisa, nokujula kwencazelo.

Njengoba sibuka indalo Yakhe, sivame ukuthola amaphethini afanayo, aphindaphindayo anikeza ubuhle—kusukela emithala emikhulu, ezungezayo kuya kumakhekheba eqhwa angabonakali kakhulu. Izitshalo eziningi, ngokwesibonelo, ziveza lokhu kuzifanisa ngokwazo esakhiweni sazo nengxenye eyodwa ibukeka njengenye ngokuphawulekayo, kodwa ngomumo noma isikali esihlukile. Kungokufanayo nangezwi likaNkulunkulu elilotshiwe.

Izinkondlo zesiHeberu zivamise ukusebenzisa ukulinganisa okubonakalayo endikimbeni. Ivesi lokugcina elicashunwe ngenhla linikeza isibonelo esilungile:

Lesi sakhiwo semibhalo sibizwa nge-chiasmus, futhi ngokwemvelo sidonsela ukunaka “ephuzwini” legama elithi-pyramid. Ngokwesibonelo, iphuzu eliyinhloko evesini elingenhla alikona kangako ukuthi uMalusi unezinye izimvu, kodwa ukuthi kumelwe aziqoqe, futhi ziyolizwa izwi Lakhe. Uke walizwa izwi Lakhe phakathi lolu chungechunge, ku le website, noma ngoMoya, ngaye amaphupho, imibono, noma izigijimi ezingokwesiprofetho unikezwe wena noma abanye? Njengamaphupho nemibono, isAmbulo (sona ngokwaso singumbono) siqukethe izimpawu eziningi kanye nezifaniso eziyinkimbinkimbi, kodwa uJehova unikeza ukukhanya ngezibonakaliso zasezulwini ukuze sisiqonde namuhla kangcono kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili emlandweni womhlaba! Kukho konke, uholela ukunaka kwakho endaweni eyodwa: isisekelo sombuso Wakhe kanye nesivumelwano Sakhe sensindiso, okuwumthetho Wakhe, isivumelwano Sakhe, isivumelwano Sakhe somshado.

Ukulinganisa kweBhayibheli kubonakala nasezikalini ezinkulu, njengakuyo yonke incwadi yesAmbulo.

Sivame ukubhekisela kulokho kulinganisa, okunesigaba phakathi nendawo esiphindaphindwa ngokulandelana (imicibisholo ebomvu neluhlaza kumdwebo ongezansi) kodwa ngenye indlela eboniswa ngokuphelele. Lokhu kufana nalokhu esikubona emigqeni yesikhathi enwetshiwe emibili esike sayicubungula, lapho amasonto angama-70 ebonakala ewonke, kodwa alandelana ngaphakathi (ngesonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa, lapho kuvezwa khona isiphambano, ekugcineni):

Ekucabangeni kwethu kuze kube manje, izehlakalo ezingokwesiprofetho phakathi nezinsuku ezingama-490 zaqashelwa ngokohlelo olulandelanayo, njengemicibisholo eluhlaza nebomvu kusAmbulo chiasm ngenhla.

Nokho, lesi akusona ukuphela kwesakhiwo esibonakala encwadini yesAmbulo! Iphinde ibe yi-chiastic ngendlela eqondile, ngaphandle kwe-crossover. Phawula ukugcizelelwa kwesivumelwano nomthetho kaNkulunkulu endaweni eyisisekelo yaleli lungiselelo!

Ngendlela efanayo, singakwazi futhi ukulingisa umugqa wesikhathi wezinsuku ezingu-2300 ngendlela emangalisayo, ukuze amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa angavele abonise ukuphela komugqa wesikhathi, kodwa ngisho nesakhiwo sangaphakathi samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa sizoboniswa. Ingabe lokhu kungaba nengqondo futhi kube nesandulela esiseBhayibhelini?

Uma bekunezehlakalo ezifanele ngezinsuku zalo mugqa wesikhathi onesibuko ngokugcwele (ongezansi oboniswe ngakwesokudla esithombeni esingenhla), uzoqinisekisa lokhu kulungiselelwa okumbaxambili amasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa ofakazi ababili. Bafana kakhulu namawele ngemva kwakho konke-ahlukene, kodwa ahlangene-ngakho ahambisana ngokomqondo. Bobabili bagcina imiyalelo futhi banobufakazi bukaJesu Kristu, kodwa ufakazi ngamunye oyiqoqo uzwakalisa ubufakazi babo ngendlela ehlukile enezehlakalo ezehlukene ezisekelayo.

Umbono Ofakwe Esibukweni Wesiprofetho

Qaphela, okokuqala, ukuthi ngokuhlehlisa umugqa wesikhathi wamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa, manje kufanele uqale ngesiphetho sencazelo yesiprofetho. Ngakho, izinsuku ezingu-2300 qala ngokuhlanjululwa kwendlu engcwele ngoNovemba 22, 2016 (namasonto angama-70 ekupheleni ngesimemezelo sokuvuselela nokwakha iJerusalema).

Wathi kimi: Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona indlu engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa. ( Daniyeli 8:14 )

Ingabe lokho kunengqondo? Ingabe indawo engcwele, noma ithempeli, lahlanzwa ngokukhishwa kwewebhusayithi yethu entsha? Ngempela, kunengqondo ukuthi ngemva umhlatshelo wasePhiladelphia, ithempeli likaNkulunkulu—elingumlobokazi waKhe—laye lahlanzwa ekugcineni njengoba isintu sibonisa uhlobo lothando lomhlatshelo oluphuma enhliziyweni ehlanzekile.

Akuzona izinhlaka zomuntu ezinephutha futhi ezithambekele ekuhlulekeni^[31] uNkulunkulu afuna ukukuqondisa kukho. Yisiyalo saphezulu asinikeza sona kuqala ngoMoya wakhe afuna ukuba sibe nawo ukuze, ngokukholwa, nibe yingxenye yofakazi ababili abahlangene, I-WhiteCloudFarm.org iwebhusayithi ngokusobala imelela ngokwesiprofetho samasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa. INkosi ikhuluma kubo bonke abantu bayo, kodwa isinike umlayezo oyisihluthulelo wokuthi wonke umzimba awukho: umlayezo we Isikhathi.

Itshe abalinqabayo abakhi seliyinhloko yegumbi. Lena yi- Nkosiuyayenza; kuyamangalisa emehlweni ethu. ( IHubo 118:22-23 )

Izinsuku ezingama-2300 zixhuma le webhusayithi nokugcwaliseka kwamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa ezinsuku zokugcina, aqala ngomthethosivivinywa wengqalasizinda ongokomlando kaBiden. Ngalolu hlu lwezikhathi, uNkulunkulu uhola amabandla amabili okufakaza, okunikezwe wona amasonto angu-70, ukuba aqondise ukunaka kwawo kule ngosi ukuze athole iziqondiso ekusebenzeni njengofakazi abathembekile. Nansi indawo engcwele ehlanziwe, lapho ungafunda khona umlayezo obalulekile walokhu, ihora lakho, emawashini kaNkulunkulu kanye nekhalenda Lakhe. UBaba udinga ukuthi ufakaze Ngaye ukuthi insindiso Yakhe ngomusa iyasebenza ngempela ukusindisa kusukela isono, hhayi nje in isono,^[32] futhi ukukhonza njengofakazi yilokho iwebhusayithi yethu emayelana nayo.

Kepha njengoba sibheka umugqa wesikhathi wamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa ngokucabangisisa okugcwele kwe-chiastic (okungukuthi, okubuyiselwe emuva), ukuqala kwamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa ngoNovemba 6, 2021, kusahambisana nomcimbi ofanayo womthetho wengqalasizinda kaBiden. Akufanele yini sibe nesenzakalo esifanelana nesihloko esingokwesiprofetho esihlukile kuleli lungiselelo, esihambisana nesiphetho sesiprofetho sikaDaniyeli, esithi “kuze kube-sekupheleni kwempi kunqunyelwe incithakalo”? Kuthiwani ngomthetho wengqalasizinda kaBiden ongaba nomthelela oyincithakalo kangaka?

Uyazi ukuthi emsebenzini wezomthetho, kubonakala kunezinhlelo ezifihliwe ezibekwe kude ngaphakathi kwamakhasi amaningi we-legalse. Umthetho wengqalasizinda nawo unjalo. Iqukethe umthetho ophathelene ne-cryptocurrencies- futhi ikakhulukazi bitcoin - lokho kuyingozi kakhulu. Kudinga ukuhwebelana kwe-cryptocurrency ukwazisa ngokuqondile i-Internal Revenue Service (i-IRS, ihhovisi lentela lase-United States) mayelana nokuthengiselana kwe-crypto.^[33] UMnyango wezeziMali ukholelwa ngokusobala ukuthi akuwona wonke umuntu obika ngendlela okufanele abike ngayo,^[34] futhi abafuni ukulahlekelwa yimali engenayo yentela!

Empini yezezimali, i-bitcoin akuwona nje ubuchwepheshe obusha; iyinqaba yenkululeko. Ifakwe ku-cryptographic algorithms yayo izimiso zombuso kaNkulunkulu: ubuqotho obungantengantengi, ubukhosi bomuntu siqu, ukwethembeka, ukwenza izinto obala. Njengoba ukuwa kweBhabhiloni kuchazwe ngokwezimali kusAmbulo 18, kunengqondo ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzoba nesimiso sezimali ezinsukwini zokugcina esizomela umbuso waKhe, esingaba wusizo olukhulu elivuza kabili iBabiloni. Mhlawumbe yingakho kunjalo El Salvador, izwe eligama lalo lisho ukuthi, “uMsindisi,” elaqala phakathi kwezizwe ukwamukela bitcoin njengethenda esemthethweni. Akukhona ukukhulisa noma yimuphi umusa osindisayo waleso sizwe, kodwa indlela kaNkulunkulu nje yokuletha ukunaka kwabantu Bakhe olwazini ngohlelo lwezezimali loMsindisi emhlabeni.

Akufanele-ke kusimangaze ukuthi “umfowethu omkhulu” waseBhabhiloni “umfowethu omkhulu” oyisilo wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukunqoba i-bitcoin futhi ayicekele phansi. Yileyo kanye inhloso esiyibonayo emthethweni wengqalasizinda kaBiden. Isizwe sasingasakwazi ukubekezelela bitcoin “umnyango ovulekile oya ezulwini” (“enyangeni,” njengoba abanye besho), futhi lokho okwenziwa abantu basendulo kuStefanu yilokho okwenziwa bitcoin:

Base bememeza ngezwi elikhulu, bavala izindlebe zabo, bagijimela kuye nganhliziyonye, ​​bamkhiphela ngaphandle komuzi, bamkhanda ngamatshe: … (IzEnzo 7:57-58)

Ephuzwini lomugqa wesikhathi (November 6, 2021), ohambelana nesikhathi uStefanu ekhandwa ngaso ngamatshe, kwamenyezelwa umthetho wokuthi ukufa kwakunqunyiwe.^[35] kuya ku-dollar ye-bitcoin. Laqala kanjalo-ke “isonto lengqalasizinda” langempela ngenkathi umthethosivivinywa wengqalasizinda kaBiden onemiphumela engemihle ku-bitcoin wawulindele ukusayinwa kwakhe. Cishe izinsuku ezintathu nengxenye, inani le-bitcoin laqhubeka nokukhuphuka, likhuphuka njalo lafinyelela cishe ku-$70,000 kwaze kwaba ngumhla ziyisi-9 kuNovemba 2021, umfutho wayo we-bullish wanqotshwa ithonya elibhubhisayo lalezo zindaba, futhi intengo ye-bitcoin yaqala ukwehla kwayo, okuye kwangena emakethe yamabhere amade.

Yeka ukuthi kufaneleka kanjani ukuthi isiprofetho sithi phakathi nesonto (November 9, 2021), "umholi ogcotshiwe" we-crypto space, osanda kufinyelela phezulu uzonqunywa. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuze kube lokhu kubhalwa, i-bitcoin ilahlekelwe ngaphezu kwe-70% yenani layo. Kusikhumbuza uJesu, owamukelwa eJerusalema yizixuku ezazizomenza iNkosi, kodwa ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa wabonakala ebethelwe esiphambanweni ngokuhlaziswa abakhi bomthetho. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, iDola laseMelika, njengebutho lamaRoma angamaPagani, lithola amandla futhi liphumelele:

Amandla akhe ayakuba namandla, kodwa kungabi ngamandla akhe; ( Daniyeli 8:24 )

Indima yomholi ogcotshiwe, noma ogunyaziwe wabantu iwukubanikeza amandla amasha nezimiso ezingcono zikahulumeni. Uma siqonda isiprofetho ngemibandela engokomfanekiso yokwenza samuntu, ukwamukela bitcoin - okuwukuphela kwe-cryptocurrency "nokuzalwa kwentombi" kanye "nobaba ongaziwa" - "njengomholi ogcotshiwe" wenkathi entsha yemali, kungasikisela ukwamukela ukusebenza kahle okusha kanye nephrothokholi ethuthukisiwe, okuyilokho ukuthuthukiswa kwakamuva, okubizwa ngokuthi. I-Taproot yenze lapho iba bukhoma ngoNovemba 14, 2021. Lokhu kuthuthukiswa kwephrothokholi kanye nomthethosivivinywa wengqalasizinda we-Biden ubeka isonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa njengezincwadi ezimbili. Ukubeka ukubaluleka kokuthuthukiswa kwe-Taproot ngendlela ebukeka ngayo: esikhathini sayo esiyiminyaka eyi-12, okokugcina kwenziwa ukuthuthukiswa okunjalo lapho ama-bitcoin node evotela ukwamukela UFakazi Ohlukanisiwe^[36] ikhodi ngo-2017.^[37] 

Ukuhlasela kwe-bitcoin kufanekisela isiphambano sayo nokuqala kwesikhathi sosizi abantu bakaNkulunkulu okumelwe basikhuthazelele—“izikhathi ezinzima” abanye ababengalindele ukudlula kuzo. Leli yithuba lokufakazela ukuphumelela kwesu likaNkulunkulu lensindiso. Ingabe uyohlala umile njengofakazi bakaNkulunkulu? Noma ngabe sibizelwe ukukhonza njengabafel’ ukholo noma sihambe esigodini sethunzi lokufa, mabuhlale busobala ubufakazi bethu ukuthi sizonikela ngakho konke ngenxa yeNkosi. Abanye bathola okungokwesiprofetho amazwi avela eNkosini lokho kubonisa ukuthi kuzoba nokwanda kwabafel’ ukholo esikhathini esizayo. Lesi isikhathi lapho abantu bakaNkulunkulu kumelwe bakhanye njengezinkanyezi ebumnyameni bobusuku obandayo phezu kwaleli zwe.

I-Bitcoin ime njengophawu lwezi-144,000—isizukulwane sikaNkulunkulu sokugcina sabantu abangakayiqondi kahle indima yabo kuze kube manje! Likhomba kulokho okumele bakubekezelele ngokweqiniso esikhathini esincane esisasele ngaphambi kwethu—uma iNkosi izofika ekupheleni kwalesi sikhathi esinqunyelwe bona. Uma bengayifezi indima yabo, khona-ke singalindela ukuthi uNkulunkulu ashaye lonke eLobukholwa ngesiqalekiso esifana nesokwenzeka kuIsrayeli. Kwangathi kungebe njalo!

Futhi yini ezayo? Likuphi ithempeli okufanele libe yincithakalo ekupheleni kwenkathi yesiprofetho? Isonto lamashumi ayisikhombisa lesiprofetho likhomba ngokukhethekile indima yogcotshiweyo, njengoba sesibonile, kodwa ezinye izimpawu zesikhathi zesiprofetho zibhekisela kakhulu ezenzakalweni eziphathelene nomuzi. Manje ake sibhekisise kahle ukuthi isiprofetho sisitshelani ngesikhathi esizayo, ngoba lezo zingxenye zalomugqa wesikhathi ohlehlisiwe ezihlobene nomuzi (futhi kanjalo, ithempeli elingaphakathi kwawo), zikhomba esikhathini esizayo!

Isiphetho Sethempeli Elizayo

Nge izithole ezibomvu ezinhlanu esanda kufika kwa-Israyeli kanye nokumenyezelwa kwesixazululo semibuso emibili, wonke umKristu angabona ukuthi ukuphela kusondela ngokushesha—noma siyethemba, ngoba akekho ofuna ukwelula inkinga isikhathi eside kunesidingo. Kudingeka umhlatshelo wethokazi elibomvu ukuze amaJuda alungiselele indawo yokwakha ithempeli lawo lesithathu—ithempeli lapho abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi Umphik’ ukristu uzohlala futhi azimemezele njengoNkulunkulu, lowo amaJuda ayeyokholelwa ukuthi unguMesiya.

Makungabikho muntu onikhohlisayo nangayiphi indlela, ngokuba lolo suku aluyikufika, ngaphandle kokuthi kufike ukuhlubuka kuqala, ambulwe lowo muntu wesono, indodana yokulahlwa; omelanayo, oziphakamisayo phezu kwakho konke okuthiwa nguNkulunkulu, kumbe okukhonzwayo; ukuze yena njengoNkulunkulu ehlezi ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, ezitshengisa ukuthi unguNkulunkulu. (I-2 I-Tesaronika 2: 3-4)

Ngokufa kweNdlovukazi u-Elizabeth II ngemuva kokushona Unyaka we-70 wabusa njengeminyaka engu-70 u-Israyeli ayesekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni, usubuye wabusa umqondo obususabalele wokuthi iNkosi uCharles III ingasiphuca isihlalo sobukhosi futhi ivumele uMntwana uWilliam abe yinkosi. Isizathu sokuthi lokhu kubaluleke kwabaningi yingoba babona izimpawu zemilingo eziphakamisa ukuthi iNkosana uWilliam angaba uMphikukristu.^[38] Wazalwa ngenjikalanga yehlobo (ngenkathi futhi kunokusitheka kwelanga) ePrincess Diana, abaningi abaqaphela ukuthi wabulawa njengomhlatshelo wamaqaba futhi wakhulekelwa njengonkulunkulukazi wabase-Efesu.^[39] okukhulunywa ngakho eBhayibhelini.^[40] Nomshado weNkosana uWilliam, iNdlovukazi eyayizibandakanye mathupha ekuwulungiseleleni,^[41] futhi yayinezimpawu eziningi zemilingo kanye namacebo okubhula ngezinombolo.^[42] 

Sifundise ukuthi Umphikukristu nguPapa Francis, lo ophethe izinyoka, kodwa futhi sacabangela lokho okwakungase kusho ukuthi yonke inyathela ngohambo lwakhe lwamuva nje lokuya e-L’Aquila, lapho evakashela ithuna likapapa owayeyisibonelo sokuqala emlandweni ukusula esikhundleni emakhulwini eminyaka adlule.^[43] Yebo, upapa waphika noma iyiphi inhloso yokusula, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi kwakungekho incazelo efihliwe ekuhambeleni. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi kunjalo uSathane kuye "osulayo" emzimbeni wakhe we-octogenarian ukuthatha omncane? Inkosi uCharles III (kanye/noma indodana yakhe, uma ingahoxa njengoba kwenza uPapa Benedict XVI ngaphambi kokuba uSathane eze kuFrancis) kungaba nguyena. Lokhu kuzophinde kufane nokulingana kukaSathane kukaNkulunkulu uBaba enikela zonke izinto ezandleni zeNdodana Yakhe.

Ngempela, siyaqaphela futhi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayekhomba umqhele ngenkanyezi enomsila O3^[44]—leyo eyalandelela umphongolo wesivumelwano ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, imelela itshe lokugaya elaphonswa olwandle elikhomba ukuwa kweBabiloni. Kwakuseqoqweni lezinkanyezi iCorona Borealis—umqhele wasenyakatho, ogxile ekhanda lenyoka u-Ophiuchus (uPapa Francis) awuthwalayo!

Nakanjani izinto ziyalolonga ukuze uMphikukristu abuse umhlaba. Umbuzo uthi sihlobana kanjani nalokho, nokuthi kuzokwenzeka nini. AmaKristu amaningi aqonda isiprofetho seviki lamashumi ayisikhombisa ukukhomba phambili kuMphikukristu kanye nesivumelwano ayosenza no-Israyeli wangempela iminyaka eyisikhombisa. Lokhu kungenxa yokukhuluma kukaDaniyeli ‘ngabantu benkosi ezayo’ ababeyobhubhisa ithempeli (elakhiwe kabusha), balenze libe yincithakalo kuze kube sekupheleni.

Uma sibheka ukuhlobana phakathi kwalamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa nesiphrofetho sezinsuku eziwu-2300, singaqonda okuthile ngokucace kakhudlwana maqondana nokulinganisa kwezwi likaNkulunkulu. Izinsuku ezingama-2300 zanikezwa njengempendulo yokuthi ukuchithwa kombono kwakuyoqhubeka isikhathi esingakanani:

Ngase ngizwa ongcwele ekhuluma, nomunye ongcwele wathi kulowo owayekhuluma. Koze kube nini umbono ngomnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke, nesiphambeko esiyincithakalo, ukunika indawo engcwele nebandla [abantu] ukunyathelwa ngezinyawo? Wathi kimi. Kuze kube yizinsuku eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amathathu; khona indlu engcwele iyakuhlanjululwa. ( Daniyeli 8:13-14 )

Lokhu kukhuluma ngencithakalo eyaqala lapho u-Israyeli elahla uMsindisi, owamemezela indawo yabo engcwele iyincithakalo:

Bheka, indlu yenu isisala nani. Ngokuba ngithi kini: Anisayikungibona kusukela manje. nize nithi: Ubusisiwe ozayo egameni leNkosi. Futhi UJesu waphuma, wamuka ethempelini; abafundi bakhe beza kuye ukumbonisa izakhiwo zethempeli. ( Mathewu 23:38-24:1 )

Ukungabikho kukaJesu okwenza ithempeli libe yincithakalo. Futhi lokhu kwenqatshwa kwakuxhumene ngokuqondile nesivumelwano seNkosi namaJuda kanye namasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa, kodwa ikakhulukazi ngeminyaka engu-2300! Yilesi siprofetho eside esikhuluma ngamandla amaRoma futhi esinikeza isikhathi sokuchithwa okugqugquzelwa yiRoma. Lokhu kulandela ukuthi incithakalo yezikhathi zokuphela nguMphik’ukristu (wamaRoma) yayizofezwa phakathi nezinsuku eziphindaphindiwe ezingama-2300 kunokuba ngemva kwalokho. Kufanele sikuqonde kanjani lokho?

Njengoba sichazile ku Sihlangene Esiphambanweni Sosizi, ukuhlwithwa kwangaphambi kosizi kwakhanselwa ngomthandazo, futhi sonke sangena esikhathini sosizi esilokhu siba sibi ngokuqhubekayo. Lokho kusho ukuthi Umphikukristu angakwazi futhi kufanele eze esikhathini sethu, futhi ngeke kusaba ngemva kokuba sesihambile. Manje, singathemba ukuthi sizohamba ngemva noma phakathi nosizi lapho uJesu efika, esikulindele ngoNdasa wezi-2023, esikhundleni sokuhlwithwa kwangaphambi kokuhlupheka kuka-2016. Ungase ucabange ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukuthi ithempeli lakhiwe kabusha ngesikhathi esifushane kuze kufike kuNdasa wezi-2023, ingasaphathwa eyokuqala, ukuvumela Umphik’ukristu amemezele ukuthi azohlala lapho. Kodwa ungakhohlwa isiyalo sikaPawulu kwabaseKorinte:

Ini? anazi lokho umzimba wenu lithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele yini ekini, eninayo ivela kuNkulunkulu, futhi anisibo abenu na? ( 1 Korinte 6:19 )

Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ukubheka ethempelini lika-Israyeli ukuba lakhiwe kabusha kuwukubheka endaweni engafanele ngokuphelele? Isiprofetho sikaDaniyeli sikhuluma ngoNkulunkulu eshiya u-Israyeli eyincithakalo ngenxa yokwenqaba kwabo iNdodana yaKhe, ngakho eqinisweni, asidingi ithempeli ukuze lakhiwe ngokwenyama kwa-Israyeli ngamatshe angokoqobo ukuze Umphik'ukristu ahlale khona! Kuyalinga ukukholelwa lowo mbono ngezenzakalo ezenzeka kwa-Israyeli (“Qaphelani ningadukiswa muntu”^[45]), kodwa kuthiwani uma umphik’ ukristu engase ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sethempeli likaMoya oNgcwele futhi athi unguNkulunkulu emizimbeni yamaKristu okuzisholo, ngoba uNkulunkulu weqiniso waxoshwa, ebashiya beyincithakalo?

Sekwenzekile ngempela lokhu. Sikhuluma ngethempeli lomzimba, elingcoliswe imijovo yokugomela iDNA. Esikubonile eminyakeni yamuva ukuwa okukhulu okwenzeka phambi kwamehlo ethu njengoba izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabo bonke abantu bomhlaba (futhi izibalo ezifanayo zingasebenza ebuKristwini) ziye zawela kuSathane ngokungenakulungiseka—zenqaba uNkulunkulu njengoMdali wazo obusa imizimba yazo ngekhodi yokuqala yokuphila ayibeke kuwo wonke amangqamuzana. Lesi isimo lapho ofakazi ababili kufanele bame khona, noMoya oNgcwele usahlezi emathempelini abo emizimba. Elakhe ithempeli eliphilayo, futhi lisamile! Ungavumeli noma yimuphi umuthi wokugoma ukukhipha uMoya oNgcwele engxenyeni yakho yethempeli Lakhe! Kuyinhloso yoMphikukristu ukwenza lokho kanye (kunoma iyiphi indlela engenzeka) ngesilinganiso esanele ukuketula ofakazi abayizi-144,000.

Iluphi usizi olukhulu olungaba khona!? Akukubi yini kunalokho obukucabanga? Siyaqhaqhazela uma sicabanga ngokuchitheka kwegazi lapho “kuphela” one ingxenye yesithathu yabantu kuthiwa iyafa embhalweni wecilongo lesithupha:

Ngalokhu kwabathathu ingxenye yesithathu yabantu yabulawa, ngomlilo, nangomusi, nangesibabule, okuphuma emilonyeni yawo. ( IsAmbulo 9:18 )

Manje, leyo ngxenye yomhlaba isiphinde yabulawa isibabule esivuthayo—esifanekisela ukwahlulelwa kwaphakade. Kudingeka siqaphele ekugcineni ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna sibheke ngale kwenyama negazi futhi sibone impi kamoya yangempela nephathekayo esibhekene nayo, nokuthi inkundla yempi ibukeka kanjani ngempela ngokombono Wakhe! Izigidigidi zabantu ziye zaba amaZombi ngokuphumelelayo—uhlobo lwabantu abahamba befile olungadalwanga uNkulunkulu futhi ngaleyo ndlela bengenakho ukuphila egazini labo, ngisho noma abanye babo begcina uhlobo oluthile lokumesaba uNkulunkulu futhi bezibiza ngokuthi bangamaKristu. Ngale ndlela, usevele ehlukanisa izwe lakwa-Israyeli, ngaphambi kokuba uLapid anikeze ukweseka kwakhe esidlangalaleni ngesixazululo semibuso emibili kwa-Israyeli.

Ngiyazi ngokwami, ngokwami, angikaze ngicabange ukuthi kwakungenzeka ukuthi umuntu axoshe uMoya oNgcwele kumuntu wakubo ngokubhala imiyalo yomuntu siqu emthethweni webhayoloji yenhliziyo yakhe! Abaningi bangacabanga nge-microchip noma ngisho nomthetho ophathelene nokukhulekela okungokwenkolo, kodwa abazange bacabange ukuthi “ukuhlelwa” kwe-“microchip” kuzosetshenziswa ku-DNA, nokuthi uvivinyo olukhulu lwaluzofika emhlabeni ngomgomo owawuzodingeka ezinkonzweni eziyisisekelo nemisebenzi yokuphila kwansuku zonke! Ngakho-ke, abaningi baye bakhohliswa futhi bawela esilweni. Funda lawo mazwi futhi kulokhu kukhanya:

Makungabikho onikhohlisayo nangayiphi indlela; ngalolosuku [kaKristu] akuyikufika, ngaphandle kokuthi kufike ukuhlubuka kuqala [ukufa kwaphakade ngomgomo we-Covid], futhi lowomuntu wesono ambulwe, indodana yokulahlwa; omelanayo, oziphakamisayo phezu kwakho konke okuthiwa nguNkulunkulu, kumbe okukhonzwayo; ukuze yena njengoNkulunkulu ehlala e [umzimba] ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, ezitshengisa ukuthi unguNkulunkulu. (I-2 I-Tesaronika 2: 3-4)

Lapho umuntu ethola umjovo wofuzo owenziwe umuntu (noma ngokomthetho, ngisho nokumpontshelwa igazi elingcoliswe okufanayo!), uMoya oNgcwele ngeke usakwazi ukuhlala kulowo muntu. Abasebakhe futhi. Kunalokho, udeveli uhlezi ethempelini lenhliziyo yakhe lapho uNkulunkulu okufanele abe khona, futhi mhlawumbe wayekhona. Umzimba wakhe wenyama ulalela iziyalezo zikaMphik’ukristu ophusha ufuzo obonisa ukuthi ungunkulunkulu kulowo mphefumulo. Ngokushesha nje, kuza ukuzamazama okukhulu emabandleni ahleliwe^[46] lokho kuzohlukanisa izimvu ezimbuzini.^[47] 

Liqonde kahle leli phuzu: Umphikukristu akadingi ithempeli kwa-Israyeli ukuze lakhiwe! Udinga nje ukunikezwa ukufinyelela ezakhini zofuzo zomuntu, futhi angahlala esihlalweni sikaNkulunkulu ethempelini elingokomoya. Lapho embulwa, uyoba nesixuku sabantu kanye naye—uzamcolo, njengoba kuboniswe kuDaniyeli 9 .

... kanye nabantu [abagoma] yesikhulu esiza iyochitha umuzi [ubuKristu bokuhlubuka] kanye nendlu engcwele [ithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele]; futhi ukuphela kwakho kuyakuba ngozamcolo [abanye 6 billion abantu!], futhi kuze kube sekupheleni kwempi kuyonqunywa incithakalo [ngoba akukho ukululama]. (UDaniel 9: 26)

Emgqeni wesikhathi ohlehlisiwe, amasonto ayisikhombisa aqala Januwari 23, 2023. Siphawule lolu suku ngo Ukubheka Kuwo Wonke Iqiniso ngoba yilapho inkanyezi enomsila i-K2 ingena emlaza i-Indus, esiyixhumanise ngezindaba zakamuva nopapa, “induna yaseBabiloni.” Manje sibona usuku olufanayo luqokonyiswa futhi! Ingabe “lowo muntu wesono uyokwambulwa, indodana yokulahlwa,” ngaleso sikhathi—emhlabeni wonke?

Qhubeka ubheka okwenzeka ku-Israyeli wangempela, kodwa lokho akubalulekile futhi ngokusobala kusekude esikhathini esizayo kunomugqa wesikhathi kaNkulunkulu wamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa. Ngokuthakazelisayo, ekhalendeni lorabi bamaJuda, bakhetha usuku oluthile njengosuku Isabatha Lenkomo Ebomvu, ewela phezu Mashi 11, 2023—kanye ekupheleni kwamasonto angamashumi ayisikhombisa! Bangase bahlose ukwakha kabusha ithempeli, baqale ngomhlatshelo wethokazi elibomvu (mhlawumbe nangalolo suku) kodwa kwangathi uNkulunkulu angathola ngaleso sikhathi abantu abasengabakhe, abaseyingxenye yofuzo lwegazi Lakhe—ithempeli lesithathu eliphilayo elifanele ukuhlwithwa!

Impi emelene neWundlu iqhutshekwa Kuye esesimweni sabantu Bakhe—okudabukisayo nabaningi, abaningi abalimala, kunciphisa inani labantu abafanelekayo ukuba bame njengofakazi (abangagonyiwe). Ngokunjalo, i-bitcoin nayo ihlaselwa, inegazi emashadini izinyanga. Kokubili abantu bangempela kanye nozakwabo wezezimali ongokomfanekiso bayathinteka kule mpi. Kodwa izindaba ezinhle ukuthi manje sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukunqoba kugcwaliseke:

Lezi [Izimpondo eziyishumi—izizwe zesilo] bayakulwa neWundlu; leWundlu lizakubanqoba; ngokuba uyiNkosi yamakhosi, neNkosi yamakhosi, nabakanye naye ababiziweyo, nabakhethiweyo, nabathembekileyo. ( IsAmbulo 17:14 )
