Ububi bezwe bukhulu ngokwedlulele futhi ithonya labo elikhohlakele alinakuvinjwa kuwo wonke amagatsha omphakathi. Noma kunjalo, injongo yeqiniso iye yaqhubekela phambili ngenkazimulo ekhula njalo, nakuba bembalwa abayitholile. Ukuthi kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi iqembu elincane elingafaneleki lamakholwa lihlonishwe ukuthola ingcebo enjalo yokuhlakanipha nokuqonda indaba ehlanganisa umusa nezimangaliso kanye nosizi nosizi olungakhulumeki. Yindaba yesiprofetho nesambulo, yokumangala nokungakholwa.

Kulesi sigaba, uzofunda ngaleyo ndaba—konke okungalandeleka ebufakazini obuphefumulelwe babaphrofethi—futhi uzobona ukuthi igunya likaJesu Kristu lihambisana kanjani nalesi sivumelwano. Njengoba kwenza amavulandlela ama-Adventist, kanjalo nababhali betestanti baziphila iziprofetho, futhi njengesivumelwano esiqoshwe obala, indaba yabo yokugcwaliseka kweziprofetho iwubufakazi emhlabeni balokho iNkosi eyenzele abantu Bayo.

Kulesi sigaba, uzobona ukuthi uNkulunkulu ugcwalise kanjani iZwi Lakhe, kanjalo nezibopho Zakhe ngokwemibandela yesivumelwano saphakade asenza nabantu be-Advent, ukuze kuzuze umhlaba. Lesi sigaba sichaza ukuthi lesi sivumelwano sihlotshaniswa kanjani nesivumelwano saphakade, futhi njengoba izindlalifa zifunda lamakhasi, ziyozuza ukwazisa ngomsuka nokubaluleka kwaso.

Isivumelwano Saphakade

Isivumelwano, noma itestamente, yindaba egcwele ukungezwani okukhulu phakathi kwamaKrestu, kodwa uma sibheka isithombe esikhulu, sifika kucace bha. Kusukela ekuqaleni,^[1] UNkulunkulu wenza isivumelwano sokuthula^[2] nesizwe esiwileyo, ukuze kube khona insindiso, ukuze uNkulunkulu asuse isono phakathi kwabantu baKhe, futhi ahlale phakathi kwabo kuze kube phakade.

Isivumelwano esifanayo saqinisekiswa no-Abrahama, lapho isibani esivuthayo nesithando somlilo sidlula phakathi kweziqephu zezilwane zomhlatshelo ngesithembiso esingathi sína sokunikeza iKhanani inzalo ka-Abrahama.^[3] Isivumelwano esiphathelene neKhanani lasemhlabeni sasiwumfanekiso walokho mayelana neKhanani lasezulwini, lapho abantwana bokukholwa babeyohlala khona neNkosi.

Ezikhathini zakudala, izinkontileka zazenziwa ngezindlela ezahlukene kunanamuhla. Esikhundleni sokusebenzisa amakhasi emakhasini ezincwadi ezingokomthetho ukuze kulungiswe unomphela isivumelwano kuyinki ehlala njalo yamahhovisi amarekhodi omphakathi, abantu ezikhathini zasendulo bamane bavumelane ngemibandela nangesiko elikhethekile lemihlatshelo, bafunga phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuthi bayosisekela isiphetho sabo sokuthengiselana. Lolu hlobo lwesivumelwano kwakungelona nje isiko lasendulo eliyinqaba, kodwa lwalufanekisela kahle indlela ukuphulwa okwakuyolungiswa ngayo phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nensali yabantu Bakhe. ekupheleni kwesikhathi. Eqinisweni, kwakuwumfanekiso walesi sivumelwano!

UNkulunkulu wasivuselela isivumelwano sika-Abrahama noMose kanye no-Israyeli wonke, futhi ingqikithi yesivumelwano yabhalwa ezibhebheni zamatshe, imele ubunjalo baso baphakade, futhi yanikezwa abantu. Yonke inkontileka phakathi kwezinhlangothi incike kumgomo wokwenza ngokwethembeka.

Ngokomthetho, inkulumo ethi “ukholo oluhle” isho imfuneko yokwenza ukwethembeka nokugcina izithembiso zakho ngaphandle kokuxhaphaza abanye ngokungafanele noma ukubeka abanye ezingeni elingenakwenzeka.^[4]

Kwakungokukholwa ukuthi u-Abrahama wafunda ukuhamba ekulungeni, kodwa ngokuntuleka kwakho, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphumelela banqanyulwe ekuboneni ukugcwaliseka kwesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu kubo ukuze abangenise elizweni laseKhanani. Icebo likaNkulunkulu lasekuqaleni ngabo alifezekanga! Kunalokho bafela ehlane, futhi yilabo kuphela ababili phakathi kwabo ababonisa ukholo ababengabona isithembiso sigcwaliseka.

Kodwa isivumelwano sokuletha u-Israyeli ezweni laseKhanani esingokoqobo sasimane nje siwumfuziselo wesivumelwano saphakade. Esokuqala sasiyisifundo esibalulekile sokuqonda lokho uNkulunkulu ayekwenza ngempela ngalabo bamuva. Lesi sakamuva—isivumelwano “esisha”—sasiyokwenziwa ngokusekelwe ezithembisweni ezingcono^[5]—abakaJesu Kristu, enhliziyweni yakhe wona umthetho — amazwi esivumelwano sokuqala- zabhalwa.

Kodwa lesi kuzakuba yisivumelwano engizasenza lendlu kaIsrayeli; Emva kwalezo zinsuku, kusho uJehova Nkosi, Ngiyakufaka umthetho wami ezibilinini zabo, ngiwulobe ezinhliziyweni zabo; ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami. ( Jeremiya 31:33 )

Uyazi ukuthi uJesu wayenomthetho kaNkulunkulu ulotshwe enhliziyweni Yakhe, futhi kuyo yonke impilo Yakhe, akakaze nakanye eqe nowodwa wemithetho yawo. Kodwa ingabe leli vesi likhuluma ngoJesu nje? Ikhuluma ngendlu kaIsrayeli “nezinhliziyo zayo,” ubuningi, futhi ayinjalo kuphela ngoJesu! Lapho amakholwa ebeka ukholo lwawo kuJesu, ekholelwa ukuthi Yena, engenasono, wafa esikhundleni sabo, Uqala ukubanika ukulunga Kwakhe, nokholo Lwakhe. okulotshwe ngayo umthetho waKhe zabo izinhliziyo. Ngalezi zindlela ezimangalisayo, wona kanye umqondo kaKristu kubo bonke ubumsulwa nobungcwele bawo, unikezwa ikholwa, futhi liyaguqulwa lisuka ngaphakathi liphumele ngaphandle. Lokhu kungukulunga ngokukholwa, futhi kuphumela empilweni ye ngokuvumelana nomthetho kaNkulunkulu, njengoba yayinjalo impilo kaJesu. Isivumelwano esisha asizange sigcwaliseke ngokuphelele uJesu; igcwalisa ingxenye Yakhe, kodwa futhi kufanele igcwaliseke ngabantu Bakhe—omunye oyingxenye yenkontileka! Labo ngabantu Bakhe “abenza ngokwethembeka,” futhi yilokho okushiwo yileli Testamente.

Lona umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, futhi kudinga ukubambisana kwesici somuntu, ngoba ngeke aphoqe noma yiluphi ushintsho oluphikisana nentando yomuntu, kodwa kunalokho wethula ukukhanya kweqiniso futhi uletha ukuqiniseka enhliziyweni. Khona-ke kufanele kwenziwe ukhetho lokunikela ngentando, ukuze Yena enze ushintsho ekholweni. Abaningi abafanelekile ngaphansi kwemibandela yalesi sivumelwano bangayithola kuphela ngemva kokuba ukuhlolwa sekuvaliwe. Ngakho, kuphela ngokusebenzisa ukuzinikela njalo, bazonqoba yini. Labo abanokholo kuJesu bayothola umthetho obhalwe ezinhliziyweni zabo njengoba bengaphansi kokucindezeleka okukhulu kwesimo abazithola bekuso, njengoba izinhlupho ziwa, bayonikeza konke ukuthambekela kobugovu ngaphambi kokuba kubonakale njengesono. Lokhu okwabo ukubiza okuphezulu, futhi lesi sivumelwano siyadingeka ukuze baphumelele!

Bekulokhu kuwusongo lukaSathane ukubhubhisa labo abavumelanisa ukuphila kwabo nomthetho kaNkulunkulu. Lokhu ukushushiswa kwebandla laseSmirna, elimele abafel’ ukholo abathembekile. Futhi uma engakwazi ukubathulisa ekufeni, ufuna ukwenza buthaka ukwethembeka kwabo ngokuhlehla, okuyobehlukanisa noNkulunkulu futhi kubangenise ngaphansi kokulahlwa komthetho.

Ingabe uNkulunkulu angasikhulula isivumelwano saphakade kubantu abangathembekile emthethweni Wakhe? Lutho neze! Hhayi noma bengabantu Bakhe abakhethiwe! Ukwenza ngobuqotho ngokuphathelene nomthetho kaNkulunkulu kuyisici esihlukanisayo esihlukanisa abantu bakaNkulunkulu kuwo wonke umhlaba.

Kungalesi sizathu ukuthi leli akulona itestamente leSeventh-day Adventist Church, njengoba bekufanele kube njalo! Njengabapristi nabaprofethi bakwa-Israyeli wasendulo ababefisa ukubulala uJeremiya, bethi “Lo muntu ufanelwe ukufa; ngokuba uprofethile ngalo muzi, njengalokho nizwile ngezindlebe zenu;^[6] kanjalo nama-Adventist afisa ukusivala umlomo ngokukhuluma kabi ngomuzi wawo, ibandla. Ngokuphuphutheka baphuphutheka ukuthi “ibandla liyodlula kuze kube sekupheleni,” likushaya indiva ngokuphelele konke ukuhlubuka nesono esasiyovimbela uNkulunkulu ekugcwaliseni izithembiso zaKhe kubo! Kodwa uNkulunkulu unendinganiso engaguquki:

…uma uthanda ukungena ekuphileni, gcina imiyalo. ( Mathewu 19:17 )

Nakhu ukubekezela kwabangcwele, nabagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nokukholwa nguJesu. ( IsAmbulo 14:12 )

Ngaphambi kokuba uJesu abuye, kufanele abe nabantu abalotshwe umthetho kaNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo. Hhayi nje incwadi yomthetho, kodwa uMoya womthetho kufanele ube sezinhliziyweni zabo—uthando ngoNkulunkulu nothando ngomakhelwane babo. Sizoqonda kamuva ukuthi lokho kusho ukuthini ngempela, futhi kungasiphi isikhathi lolo thando lwabonakaliswa ngabafundisi betestamente, okwalethwa kubo izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu!

Kunezigaba ezimbili zesiprofetho eziqhathanisa umehluko phakathi kokuba nokuntula lokho kubonakaliswa okuphelele kothando. Okokuqala, sizobheka isiprofetho sesAmbulo 10 nalokho okuye kwaba ukugcwaliseka okucacile okungokwesiprofetho emlandweni. Njengoba umuntu ekubona ekukhanyeni kweqiniso lamanje, uyoliqonda kunanini ngaphambili! Lokhu kuzolungiselela umfundi ukuqonda isiprofetho esiqhathanisayo, futhi lapho eqhubeka, afunde ukuthi isimo samanje sezinto saba kanjani.

Ivuswe Isikhathi

Ezinye izinto—ikakhulukazi iziprofetho—ziqondwa kangcono ngemva kokuphela kwesikhathi esithile. UJesu wabeka lesi simiso esidlweni Sakhe sokugcina nabafundi bakhe:

Manje senginitshelile kungakenzeki, ukuze, nxa sekwenzeka, nikholwe. ( Johane 14:29 )

Izindlela zikaNkulunkulu ziphakeme kunezindlela zomuntu, futhi ngokuvamile, usebenza ngezindlela ezingalindelekile. Iziprofetho eziningi nezinhlobo zebhayibheli zinokugcwaliseka okukabili noma okuningi ezikhathini ezihlukene zomlando ezinezimpawu ezifanayo. Njengoba uJesu asho, umBhalo ungephulwa,^[7] nezwi lakhe aliyikubuya ize.^[8] Uma singagcwaliseki ngandlela thize, siyogcwaliseka kwenye, futhi umfanekiso wesiprofetho ungabonakala ngezindlela eziningi. Uma sibheka emuva, sibona iziprofetho eziningi ezifanayo, esizijwayele ngokukhanya okukhazimulayo, futhi okuhlangenwe nakho okwengeziwe kunikeza ukujula nokuvumelana okungenakwenzeka lapho izenzakalo zisanda kwenzeka. Ekukhanyeni kweSikhathi, iziphrofetho ezijwayelekile zikhula ebuhleni njengoba kulandiswa umlando womsebenzi Wakhe nomuntu.

Phakathi neNkathi Yokuvuka Okukhulu Kweminyaka yawo-1830 kanye nama-40s, uMoya oNgcwele wawunyakaza phakathi kwabantu, futhi izinhliziyo eziningi zashukunyiswa ukuba zibe nesithakazelo eziprofethweni zokuza Kwesibili, futhi abantu bavumelanisa ukuphila kwabo nezimiso zeqiniso. Izigijimi zayo ezifinyelela umvuthwandaba zaprofethwa eBhayibhelini njengezingelosi ezintathu zindiza ezulwini nevangeli laphakade elizoshunyayelwa emhlabeni, ukuze kukhululwe isivumelwano esiphakade. Ingelosi yokuqala yanikeza umlayezo oyinhloko wale nhlangano:

isithi ngezwi elikhulu: Mesabeni uNkulunkulu, nimnike inkazimulo; ngoba ihora lokwahlulela kwakhe selifikile; nikhuleke kuye owenza izulu, nomhlaba, nolwandle, nemithombo yamanzi. ( IsAmbulo 14:7 )

UMoya oNgcwele wasebenza ngesifundo somlimi ovamile ogama lakhe linguWilliam Miller eMelika, kanye nabanye base-Europe, ukuhola abantu ukuba badumise uNkulunkulu futhi bakhonze uMdali. Okuhlangenwe nakho kukaMiller, nokwawo wonke amakholwa, kwaboniswa kahle kusAmbulo ngencazelo elandelayo:

Ngaya engelosini, ngathi kuyo. Nginike incwadi encane. Wasesithi kimi: Lithathe, ulidle, uliqede; kuyakubaba isisu sakho, kepha emlonyeni wakho kuyakuba mnandi njengezinyosi. Ngase ngiyithatha incwadi encane esandleni sengelosi. wadla; lasemlonyeni wami limnandi njengezinyosi: kwathi ngilidlile, sabamunyu isisu sami. (Isambulo 10: 9-10)

Ingelosi iphethe incwadi eyivula, futhi uJohane kumelwe ayamukele esandleni sengelosi ngaphambi kokuba ‘idliwe’ noma iqondwe. Ngakho, ingelosi akuyena omunye ngaphandle kukaJesu Kristu, owanikeza uMiller ukuqonda kwencwadi encane ngommeleli waKhe, uMoya oNgcwele. Abantu babemagange ukufunda futhi “bayidle” leyo ncwadi encane yesiprofetho sikaDaniyeli 8,^[9] futhi njengoba ‘belihlafuna’ ngokulidla, lalimnandi njengoju kubo.

Kodwa uWilliam Miller nama-Adventist angaleso sikhathi abazange bayiqonde incazelo enkulu yesiprofetho. Ngokuhlonza isiphetho njengokubuya kukaJesu emafwini, ukulangazelela kwabo kwaphakama, kodwa okukhulu ngokwesilinganiso kwaba ukudumala kwabo lapho uJesu engabuyi njengoba babekholelwa. Ngakho, okuhlangenwe nakho okumnandi emlonyeni wabo kwaguqulwa kwaba okumunyu eziswini zabo, njengoba ukuqonda kwabo kwakubhekene nama-asidi okugaya angokoqobo. Ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele wayebahola, nokho, kufakazelwa iqiniso lokuthi isiprofetho sesAmbulo 10 sabikezela ulwazi lwabo ngencwadi encane ngokunemba okukhulu.

Ukudumala kwabo okukhulu kwavivinya ubuntu babo kwaze kwaba sekupheleni, kwafakazela ukujula kothando lwabo ngeqiniso. Abaningi bayihlanza ngokushesha le ncwadi futhi bangasenamsebenzi nayo, ngenxa yobuhlungu eyayibuzwise ukuzidla kwabo ngokungabonisi ukuthi balungile, njengoba babenethemba. Abanye bafuna izincazelo ezihlukene noma izinsuku, ukubukela phansi iqiniso lezifundo zokuqala.

Yilabo kuphela ababezibekela eceleni nazo zonke izifiso zabo zokuqhosha, befuna ngobuqotho iNkosi nezwi Lakhe ukuze bathole isiqondiso, ababengathola ukuvumelana okuphelele. lokho akuzange kukuphike ukuhola kukaMoya enhlanganweni yamaMillerite, nokho wachaza ukuthi kwenzekeni. Lesi bekulokhu isimo sengqondo salabo abalithanda ngobuqotho iqiniso. Babemazi futhi abakwazanga ukuphika ukuhola Kwakhe. Inkolelo yabo yayisekelwe othandweni ngoJesu naseqinisweni, futhi kungekho njongo yobugovu noma ithemba lokuziphakamisa. Lolo hlobo lokukholwa okuhle ezithembisweni zikaNkulunkulu yilo oluqhuba ababhali balesi sivumelwano namuhla, futhi kufanele kube ukholo oluhle lwezindlalifa ngokunjalo.

Akukhona nje isipiliyoni sencwadi encane esisebenza kumakholwa amaMillerite; Ukuchazwa kweNgelosi uqobo kwakungumfanekiso ofanelekile kaJesu njengoba bebengamtshela Yena:

Ngabona enye ingelosi enamandla yehla ezulwini, yembethe ifu, kunothingo ekhanda layo, nobuso bayo bunjengelanga, nezinyawo zayo zinjengezinsika zomlilo: ( IsAmbulo 10:1 )

NguJesu owabahola njengensika yomlilo, ekhanyisa indlela yabo bekhala, “Bheka, umyeni uyeza!^[10] KwakunguYe, owayezofika namafu ezulu, ekhanya ngokukhazimulayo njengelanga. Lesi kwakuyisithembiso ababethemba kuso, njengothingo lwenkosazana phezu kwekhanda laKhe.

Nakuba isikhalo saphakathi kwamabili sokumemezela ukubuya kukaJesu singazange sifinyelele umvuthwandaba ekufikeni Kwakhe kulesosizukulwane, lokho okuhlangenwe nakho kwasebenza njengokukhanya okukhanyayo okwakukhanya endleleni yabo, njengoba baqonda ukuthi uJesu weza kuYise:

Ngabona emibonweni yasebusuku, bheka, kwafika onjengeNdodana yomuntu namafu ezulwini, bafika koMdala wezinsuku, bamsondeza phambi kwakhe. ( Daniyeli 7:13 )

Wayebahola bobabili ngaphambi kokudumazeka kwabo nangemva kwalokho, njengezinsika zomlilo ezimbili ezaziyizinyawo eziqondisayo zeNgelosi. Isinyathelo ngesinyathelo, Wabahola, akazange avumele ukukhanya Kwakhe kufiphale, njengoba enza ku-Israyeli wasendulo ogwadule ezulazula nefu Lakhe emini nomlilo ebusuku. Kulo mbono, kunezinye izimpawu ezihlobene ngqo nomnyakazo wokufika! UJohane ubona ingelosi imi emhlabeni nasolwandle:

Wayephethe incwadi encane evuliwe esandleni sakhe. yabeka unyawo lwayo lokunene phezu kolwandle, nonyawo lwayo kwesokunxele emhlabeni; Yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu njengokubhodla kwengonyama, nalapho isimemuzile, imidumo eyisikhombisa yezwakalisa amazwi ayo. ( IsAmbulo 10:2-3 )

U-Ellen G. White, owabamba iqhaza okuhlangenwe nakho okuwumvuthwandaba, waphawula ububanzi bendawo lapho umlayezo wawufundiswa khona:

NjengeNguquko enkulu yekhulu leshumi nesithupha, inhlangano yokufika yavela emazweni ahlukahlukene eLobukholwa ngesikhathi esisodwa. EYurophu naseMelika amadoda okholo nomthandazo aholelwa ekutadisheni iziprofetho, futhi, elandelela umlando ophefumlelwe, abona ubufakazi obuqand’ ikhanda bokuthi ukuphela kwezinto zonke kwase kuseduze. Emazweni ahlukene kwakunezindikimba ezingazodwa zamaKristu okwathi, ngokutadisha imiBhalo kuphela, afika enkolelweni yokuthi ukufika koMsindisi kwase kuseduze. {I-GC 357.1}

Isambulo esivusa amadlingozi kwakuwukuqonda isiprofetho sesikhathi sezinsuku ezingama-2300, okwakufanele siphele ngo-1844. Lesi sigijimi samukelwa abaningi futhi safundiswa kabanzi eYurophu, esimelelwe ngokweBhayibheli njengolwandle ezixukwini zezizwe nezilimi ezihlukahlukene ezihlala lapho.^[11] kanye naseMelika enabantu abambalwa, ubuhlobo babo nezixuku zaseYurophu buvezwa ngokweBhayibheli nophawu oluphambene “lomhlaba.” Kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba, isigijimi asizange sisabalale (noma kunjalo, “isigijimi sengelosi yokuqala sayiswa kuzo zonke izikhungo zezithunywa zevangeli emhlabeni”^[12]). Ngakho, ukuma Kwakhe kukho kokubili olwandle nasemhlabeni kwabikezela ukuthi ukuqondwa kwencwadi kwakuyozuza kanjani isisekelo esiqinile eYurophu naseMelika.

Ngemva kokuchaza iNgelosi, uJohane wezwa “imidumo eyisikhombisa” lapho ikhuluma, futhi wayezobhala amazwi ayo, kodwa wayalwa ukuba angakwenzi:

Kwathi imidumo eyisikhombisa isizwakalise amazwi ayo, ngase ngizakuloba; futhi ungazibhali. (IsAmbulo 10: 4)

Umfundi weBhayibheli okhuthele ufuna ukuqonda zonke izici zombono, eqaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma, futhi akukho lutho okufanele luwele phansi. Pho-ke kufanele senzeni ngemidumo eyisikhombisa uJohane ayeyalwe ukuba ingalotshwa!? Kungenzeka yini ukwazi okwakhulunywa? Kungani uNkulunkulu engazange avumele uJohane ukuba azibhale? Impendulo yale mibuzo igcizelela ukuthi lo mbono usebenza enhlanganweni yamaMillerite—owayengeke afinyelele ekupheleni lapho zonke izimfihlakalo zizochazwa.

Nokho, ukubhonga kweNgelosi njengebhubesi kusikisela okuqukethwe umlayezo weMillerite njengoba wawushunyayelwa ngaleso sikhathi: ukuthi uJesu, iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda, wayebuya, nokuthi wayembula imfihlo yesikhathi:^[13]

Impela iNkosi uNkulunkulu akenzi lutho, engayambulanga imfihlakalo yakhe ezincekwini zakhe abaprofethi. Ibhubesi libhongile. ngubani ongayikwesaba na? iNkosi uNkulunkulu ukhulumile, ngubani ongayikuprofetha na? ( Amose 3:7-8 )

AbakwaMiller babeshumayele isikhathi bona bakholwa kwakungeye-Second Advent, kodwa bekuyikho ngempela ukukhala phakathi kwamabili, njengoba babekubiza kanjalo? Leli gama lithathwe emfanekisweni wezintombi eziyishumi, “ezaphuma ukuyohlangabeza umkhwenyana” (uJesu).^[14] Kuma-Adventist ayedumele, kwasebenza ekufikeni kukaJesu koMdala Wezinsuku ezulwini, futhi iqiniso lokudlula kwezizukulwane libonisa ukuthi kufanele kube nesinye isicelo, ngoba izintombi azizange zihlangane noJesu ngo-1844 noma ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho. Umuntu kufanele avume ukuthi kukhona esinye isililo phakathi kwamabili, “Bheka, umyeni uyeza! njengomyalezo wokugcina ngaphambi nje kokufika kweNkosi.

INgelosi yakhuluma isiprofetho uJohane, emele amaMillerite Adventist, kwakungafanele abhale, ngoba kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba babe nolwazi lwaso. UJohane wayengabhala kuphela ngalokho okwenzeka kubo ngaleso sikhathi. Wezwa indaba yomlando wesikhathi esizayo wabantu base-Adventist owawuqala ukubhalwa, kodwa kwaba njalo umlayezo wesikhathi esizayo okwakuzokwembulwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi—ngemva kokuba i-Advent yesikhathi esizayo ibe umlando. Kwakuyisiphrofetho somyalezo weNgelosi yesine, okuhlanganisa nendaba yokuthi izinhlinzeko zalesi sivumelwano zafinyelela kanjani ezandleni zalabo ababezahlulela ngokwezizukulwane kusukela kwabakwaMiller kuze kube manje.

Umlayezo wesikhathi wawuyifezile injongo yawo emphakathini wama-Adventist, futhi azikho izikhathi zakamuva ezaprofethwa ezwini likaNkulunkulu mayelana nokunyakaza kwalolo suku. Isifungo seNgelosi esinenzululwane sikhombisa lokhu:

Futhi wafunga ngaye ophilayo kuze kube phakade naphakade. owadala izulu, nezinto ezikuyo, nomhlaba, nezinto ezikuyo, nolwandle, nezinto ezikuwo, ukuze kungabe kusaba khona isikhathi: ( IsAmbulo 10:6 )

Isifungo sakhe sokuthi “akusayikuba-khona isikhathi” sasingabhekiseli ekupheleni kwesikhathi sezwe, kodwa esiprofethweni sokuphela kwesikhathi esitholakala encwadini encane. Okungukuthi, uJesu wamemezela ngalesi sifungo enhlanganweni yamaMiller ukuthi kwakungeke kusaba khona ukubala okungokwesiprofetho okwedlule ngo-1844 ngokuphathelene nencwadi encane eyayihlanganisa uDaniyeli 8:14 . Inhlangano yeMillerite yashumayela ngo-1844 ngesibusiso sikaMoya oNgcwele, owanikeza incwadi evulekile ukuba idle. Nokho, babengenalo igunya lokubeka izinsuku ezizayo zaleso siprofetho, ngoba kuzolulaza iqiniso losuku luka-1844, njengokungathi inephutha futhi idinga ukulungiswa. Isifungo sivikela ubuqiniso balowo mlayezo wesikhathi!

Ngokuvamile, ukuba khona kwesifungo, isifungo, kusho ukuthi incwadi yomthetho ebaluleke kakhulu ihilelekile lapha. Kubonisa ukuthengiselana mayelana nesivumelwano saphakade, okwenzeka ngemva kwenhlangano yamaMillerite. Ngempela, kwakuwukwenziwa kabusha kwesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu nabanye abantu behlelo: amaSeventh-day Adventist. Ngokwamukela iqiniso leSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa lomyalo wesine ngo-1846, baphatha ezandleni zabo itayitela lendawo yaseKhanani lasezulwini. Nakuba bengazange baye ezulwini noJesu ngo-1844, basithola ngesandla isivumelwano. Lobu ubufakazi obungokwesiprofetho beBhayibheli bokuthi iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist lalingelikaNkulunkulu abantu abakhethiwe.

Igunya lesifungo linikezwa ngokuphawula izimfanelo Zakhe njengoMdali wezulu, umhlaba, nolwandle. Akukhona kuphela ukuthi uphawu lukaNkulunkulu emyalweni wesine, kodwa luwukuhambisana okucacile nengelosi yokuqala eyayindiza ezulwini eminyakeni yokugcina yenhlangano yamaMillerite; isifungo kwaba ukulandelela umlayezo:

isithi ngezwi elikhulu: Mesabeni uNkulunkulu, nimnike inkazimulo; ngokuba ihora lokwahlulela kwakhe selifikile; owenza izulu, nomhlaba, nolwandle, nemithombo yamanzi. ( IsAmbulo 14:7 )

Ngamanye amazwi, ingelosi yokuqala yaxwayisa: “Nakani uNkulunkulu, ngoba uzokwenza ukwahlulela ngophawu lwegunya Lakhe!” Lokho kuthengiselana kwakuwukudlulisela uMthetho Wakhe—isivumelwano saphakade—ehlelweni Lakhe elisha labantu.

Kulobu bufakazi, kufanele kucace kakhulu ukuthi umbono weNgelosi enencwadi encane wawuyisiprofetho esiqondile mayelana nenhlangano yama-Adventist okuqala. Kuyoba okuphambene, ngakho-ke, ukusikisela ukuthi isifungo esenziwa yiNgelosi sasisebenza emhlabeni wonke kuzo zonke izikhathi, lapho uJohane, ukuphela kofakazi wesifungo, wayengavunyelwe ngisho nokubhala lokho okuphathelene nekusasa emva kwaleso sikhathi! Cha, kwakungesona isimemezelo somhlaba wonke saso sonke isikhathi esisele.

Nokho, kuze kube yilapho kufanele kube khona ikusasa ukugunyazwa ukuprofetha isikhathi futhi, kwakuyiqiniso ngempela ukuthi “kufanele kube khona [ngokwesiprofetho] isikhathi asisekho.” Ngamanye amazwi, iGunya elifanayo kuphela elafunga ukuthi “akusayikuba khona isikhathi” elalingaphinda liqinisekise isiprofetho sesikhathi. EBandleni lama-Adventist, isiprofetho sesikhathi sisho ukwephulwa kwabo kwesivumelwano-sesifungo uNkulunkulu ayebanike sona, ngoba ukwamukela umlayezo wesikhathi, iBandla kwakuyodingeka livume ukuthi isikhathi sabo sesiphelile, nokuthi uJesu akazange eze ngenxa yabo, nokuthi behluleka ukugcina izibopho zabo ngaphansi kwesivumelwano. Kodwa umholi wesonto, uTed Wilson, akawudli uphaya ophansi kangaka ukwephula isabatha!

Ukulandela Ezinyathelweni ZikaJesu

Umlayezo wesikhathi ngokwemvelo yawo uqobo, ufika nomsebenzi ohlukile wokuhlola eminye imilayezo engenawo. Wonke umfundi ojwayelene Nokudumazeka Okukhulu uyaqonda ukuthi ukuhamba kwesikhathi kwakuyindlela yokuhlola izinhliziyo zabantu bakaNkulunkulu. Kwaluvivinya uthando lwabo ngoNkulunkulu nangeqiniso laKhe, kwahlukanisa labo ababethanda ukubonakala Kwakhe kulabo abajoyina inhlangano ngenxa yokwesaba noma ezinye izinjongo zobugovu.

Kodwa bewazi yini ukuthi kunolunye uvivinyo olwanikezwa umlayezo? Kwakuwuvivinyo lothando futhi, kodwa uthando ngomakhelwane bethu! Endabeni yothando kuNkulunkulu, babembalwa abaphumelela esivivinyweni, kodwa endabeni yothando kumuntu-Lokho uthando lobuzalwane-okudabukisayo ukuthi akekho owaphasa! Cha, akukho noyedwa!

Beluzobukeka kanjani lolo buzalwane, uthando lwaseFiladelfiya na? Ebusweni bomlayezo wesikhathi, kunempendulo eyodwa kuphela. Uma ujwayelene nezihloko zethu, khona-ke usuvele uyazi ukuthi kuyini. Kodwa uma kungenjalo, ukuze uqonde ukuthi kubukeka kanjani, cabanga ngalokho UNkulunkulu udinga abantu Bakhe ukuze bafinyelele izinga eliphezulu lesimo sikaJesu Kristu ngaphambi kokuba eze. Uthando lukaJesu lwajula kakhulu, futhi wayala abafundi Bakhe—kuhlanganise nathi, abafundi Bakhe banamuhla—ukuba balandele isibonelo Sakhe.

UJesu manje wachazela abafundi Bakhe ukuthi ukuphila kwakhe siqu kokuzidela kwakuyisibonelo salokho okufanele kube okwabo. Esebizela kuye kanye nabafundi, isixuku esasilindile, wathi: “Uma umuntu ethanda ukungilandela, makazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe imihla ngemihla, angilandele. Isiphambano sasihlotshaniswa namandla eRoma. Kwakuyithuluzi lokufa elinonya nelilulazayo. Izigebengu eziphansi kakhulu kwakudingeka zithwale isiphambano ziyise lapho zibulawelwa khona; futhi kaningi lapho sekuzobekwa phezu kwamahlombe abo, bamelana nobudlova obukhulu, baze banqotshwa, futhi ithuluzi lokuhlushwa laboshwa phezu kwabo. Kodwa uJesu watshela abalandeli bakhe ukuthi bathwale isiphambano basithwale ngemva Kwakhe. Kubafundi amazwi Akhe, nakuba ayeqondwa kancane, ayekhomba ukuzithoba kwabo ekuthotshisweni okubuhlungu kakhulu—ukuzithoba ngisho nasekufeni ngenxa kaKristu. Akusekho ukuzinikela okuphelele lapho amazwi oMsindisi ayengabonisa khona. Kodwa konke lokhu Wayekwamukele ngenxa yabo. UJesu akazange alibale izulu njengeliyindawo efiselekayo ngenkathi silahlekile. Washiya izinkantolo zasezulwini ukuphila kwehlazo nenhlamba, nokufa ihlazo. Lowo owayecebe engcebweni yezulu engenakulinganiswa, waba mpofu, ukuze ngobumpofu bakhe sicebe. Kumelwe silandele endleleni Ayihamba. {I-DA 416.3}

Yeka uthando! Nokho cabanga ukuthi kusho ukuthini lokho! Uma uJesu engazange alibale izulu njengeliyindawo efiselekayo ngenkathi silahlekile, futhi kufanele silandele ezinyathelweni Zakhe, khona-ke futhi akufanele sibale izulu njengendawo efiselekayo kuyilapho abanye bengakalitholi ithuba lokusindiswa.

Lapho isikhathi esasiprofethiwe, ingabe ukugcwala kothando lukaKristu kwakhanya ebusweni bamaMillerite? Kwakungaba yini ukukhala kwenhliziyo yomuntu owazalwa uthando lapho izulu lingafiswa khona kuyilapho abanye befa ngaphandle kwethuba? Bekungeke yini kube ukuthi, “Nkosi, linda! Kukhona abanye abangakezwa!”?

Ubuyoba yini umphumela uma lona bekuwumthandazo osezindebeni zalawo ma-Adventist akuqala na? Ingabe babeyodumazeka? Cha! Ngalowo mthandazo, babeyobe sebephumelele kokubili uvivinyo lomthetho wothando, kuhlanganise nothando lobuzalwane, futhi uNkulunkulu wayeyokwazi ukugcwalisa izithembiso zesivumelwano saphakade kubo ngesikhathi esifushane! Ngenjabulo, ukuqonda kwesenzakalo kwakuyofika ngaphambi kokuba kudlule isikhathi, futhi konke kwakuyoba okuhlukile. Babeyokuzwa ukwamukela kukaNkulunkulu isifiso sabo esingenabugovu sokufinyelela umhlaba wonke, futhi babeyothola Kuye igunya elikhethekile namandla okwenza kanjalo!

UMoya oNgcwele uhola abantu Bakhe isinyathelo esisodwa ngesikhathi, futhi isikhathi sasingakafiki lapho zombili izingxenye zesivumelwano—imithetho emibili emikhulu—zazilotshwa enhliziyweni. Kwakusenomsebenzi owengeziwe okwakumelwe wenziwe. Kungenxa yalesi sizathu ukuthi isifungo sengelosi sisemongweni wenhlangano yama-Millerite Adventist, uJohane ayeyimele, okuwukuphela kofakazi wesifungo. Yibo abamukela incwadi encane esandleni seNgelosi badla, kodwa abazange badele isifiso sabo sezulu ukuze basindiswe okwengeziwe, futhi ngenxa yalokho, izisu zabo zaqhuma. Ukuhamba ezinyathelweni zikaJesu ukukhombisa imiyalo emibili emikhulu yomthetho:

UJesu wamphendula wathi: Owokuqala kuyo yonke imithetho uthi: Yizwa, Israyeli; INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yiNkosi eyodwa, futhi wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho, nangawo onke amandla akho. Futhi okwesibili kufana nalokhu, Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. Awukho omunye umyalo omkhulu kunale. ( Marku 12:29-31 )

Kwakudingeka isikhathi esengeziwe ukuze kulungiselelwe abantu bakaNkulunkulu lokhu. Ngokuthakazelisayo, kunesinye isifungo esinikeza isikhathi kuze kudingeke ukuba leyo nqubo ifezwe. Yisifungo esichazwa ku Isethulo se-Orion futhi kusenhliziyweni yomlayezo wokugcina kaNkulunkulu esintwini:

Ngase ngibheka, mina Daniyeli, bheka, kwakumi abanye ababili, omunye ngaphesheya kosebe lomfula, omunye ngaphesheya kosebe lomfula. Omunye wathi endodeni eyembethe ilineni eyayiphezu kwamanzi omfula. Koze kube nini ukuphela kwalezi zimangaliso? Ngase ngizwa indoda eyembethe ilineni eyayiphezu kwamanzi omfula. lapho ephakamisela ezulwini isandla sakhe sokunene nesokhohlo, efunga ophilayo kuze kube phakade ukuthi kuyakuba ngokwesikhathi, nezikhathi, nenxenye; futhi lapho eseqedile ukuhlakaza amandla abantu abangcwele. zonke lezi zinto ziyakuqedwa. ( Daniyeli 12:5-7 )

Isifungo esilotshwe esahlukweni sokugcina sikaDaniyeli sasiyisifungo sikaJesu esiqotho kuYise futhi sanikeza isikhathi. “kuze kube sekupheleni kwalezi zimangaliso,” as amadoda amabili kubhekwe osebeni lomfula. Ngokushesha lapho sibona kuhilelekile isifungo, kufanele siqaphele ukuthi sihlobene nesivumelwano saphakade; kuyisenzo somthetho. Nakuba kukhona ukufana phakathi kwesifungo esikuDaniyeli 12 nalesi esichazwe kusAmbulo 10, azikwazi ukumela isifungo esifanayo, ngoba lesi sakamuva asizange siholele ekupheleni ngempela! KuDaniyeli 12, isifungo “kuze kube sekupheleni kwalezi zimangaliso,” kwathi uJohane eseyidlile incwadi encane yesAmbulo 10 isisu sakhe sababa, watshelwa yiyona iNgelosi eyafunga ukuthi kumele kufike. nesinye isiprofetho:

Ngase ngiluthatha ugwalo oluncane esandleni sengelosi, ngayidla ngayiqeda; lasemlonyeni wami limnandi njengezinyosi; isisu sami sasibaba. Wathi kimi. Ufanele uprofethe futhi phambi kwabantu abaningi, nezizwe, nezilimi, namakhosi. ( IsAmbulo 10:10-11 )

Singaqonda ukuthi isidingo sokuphinda kuprofethe kumelwe ukuba sasingenxa yokuthi umzamo wokuqala wokuveza isikhathi sokubuya kukaJesu waphumela ekudumazekeni okukhulu. ngenxa yomhlatshelo ongekho lokho kwakuyobonisa ukuthi yomibili imiyalo emikhulu yayilotshwe ezinhliziyweni zabo. Bekusashoda okuthile kwinkontileka: i isiginesha yeqembu elamukelayo, elimelela umhlatshelo wothando lobuzalwane.

Ngakho, lapho inkantolo ivulwa ngo-1844, iMithetho Eyishumi (isivumelwano esingokomthetho) kwadingeka inikezwe isonto. ukuze bayisayine! Bathola wonke umthetho kaNkulunkulu kuhlanganisa neqiniso leSabatha ngo-1846, kodwa kwakuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuba ibandla liqonde isivumelwano futhi ekugcineni lisayine lona?

Isikhathi Sokwahlulela

Kunemibandela ethile okufanele ihlangatshezwe ngaphambi kokuba uJesu eze. Impikiswano enkulu phakathi kukaKristu noSathane akuyona nje ingxabano yezwe, kodwa iyinkantolo esemthethweni eqhubekayo mayelana nokugcinwa nokubusa kwendawo yonke. Icala lokuzivikela lesimo sikaNkulunkulu lidinga ukuthi kwethulwe ubufakazi futhi kubizwe ofakazi, abanikeza ubufakazi obamukelekayo ngoNkulunkulu. Inkantolo yasezulwini yahlala ngo-1844, ngokweziprofetho ezanikezwa uDaniyeli,^[15] ogama lakhe lisho ukuthi “uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli wami” noma “ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu”.

ngabuka zaze zaphonswa phansi izihlalo zobukhosi [setha], kwahlala oMdala wezinsuku, ingubo yakhe imhlophe njengeqhwa, nezinwele zekhanda lakhe zinjengoboya bezimvu obuhlanzekileyo; isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sasinjengelangabi lomlilo, namasondo akhe njengomlilo ovuthayo. Kwaphuma umfula ovuthayo phambi kwakhe; izinkulungwane zezinkulungwane zazimkhonza, nezinkulungwane eziyishumi zezinkulungwane eziyishumi zazimi phambi kwakhe; ukwahlulela kwamiswa, nezincwadi zavulwa. ( Daniyeli 7:9-10 )

UDaniyeli wayalwa ukuba avale incwadi yesiprofetho sakhe eyembula isikhathi okwakuyoqala ngaso ukwahlulela. Kwakungeke kubekwe uphawu kuze kube phakade, kodwa kuphela “kuze kube yisikhathi sokuphela.”^[16] Khona-ke leso siprofetho^[17] zaziyoqondwa, futhi ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, uDaniyeli waboniswa leso senzakalo esingokomfanekiso omkhulu lapho kwakubuzwa khona umbuzo:

Ngase ngibheka, bheka, kwakumi abanye ababili, omunye ngaphesheya kosebe lomfula, omunye ngaphesheya kosebe lomfula. Omunye wathi endodeni eyembethe ilineni eyayiphezu kwamanzi omfula. Koze kube nini ukuphela kwalezi zimangaliso? ( Daniyeli 12:5-6 )

Le ndoda yabuza umbuzo owawuvutha enhliziyweni kaDaniyeli: “Kuyoze kube nini kudlula lokhu, futhi uNkulunkulu angabonakaliswa oqotho?” Ingabe lowo mbuzo uvutha enhliziyweni yakho? Uyakulangazelela ukubona uYihlo eqinisekiswa futhi ukwahlulela kuphele? Ungu ethekwini njengomsolwa, futhi labo abamthandayo bayofuna ukwazi ukuthi icala liyophela isikhathi esingakanani, nokuthi iyini indima yabo kulo! Izindlalifa zaleli fa zinendima ebaluleke kakhulu okudingeka iqondwe futhi igcwaliswe. Konke okudingekayo sekunikeziwe, kodwa kufanele ukuthola isivumelwano esilotshwe ezinhliziyweni zabo futhi sime ekukhanyeni kwe UJesu e-Orion ngaphandle kokuwa.

Impendulo yombuzo othi, "Kuze kube nini?" kunikezwa, kodwa uNkulunkulu ubengeke azembule izimfihlo ezinjalo ngombhalo osobala. Wayigoqa ngomfanekiso owawuzoqondwa kuphela lapho kwafika isikhathi sokuba ambulwe.

Ngase ngizwa indoda eyembethe ilineni eyayiphezu kwamanzi omfula. lapho ephakamisela isandla sakhe sokunene nesokhohlo ezulwini, efunga ngaye ophila phakade kuyakuba yisikhathi, nezikhathi, nenxenye; lapho isiqedile ukuhlakaza amandla abantu abangcwele, zonke lezi zinto ziyakuqedwa. ( Daniyeli 12:7 )

INkosi iyakwazi ukupakisha ulwazi oluningi endaweni encane, futhi lesi isibonelo esihle esingokomBhalo! Esinye sezambulo zakuqala uNkulunkulu azinika uMfowethu uJohane kwakuwukuqonda ubude besikhathi sokwaHlulela—okokuqala isiprofetho esihlukile, futhi kamuva wathola ukuthi isikhathi esifanayo sembulwa kulesi sifungo. Kuye kwafakwa futhi kwachazwa ezinguqulweni zakuqala ze- Iwashi likaNkulunkulu e-Orion isethulo. Uphawu lubonisa ukuqinisekiswa okukabili kwesivumelwano (12 + 12), noma itestamente, ngesifungo sikaJesu (× 7).^[18] UJesu ukhombisa (ngaphandle kwamazwi) ukuthi lesi sigaba sokwahlulela sasiyohlala njalo 168 iminyaka: (12 + 12) × 7. Lokhu kusiletha kusukela ekuqaleni kokwaHlulelwa ngo-1844 kuze kufike ekwindla ka-2012 njengokuphela kwesigaba sokwahlulelwa kwasezulwini kulabo abafa bebiza igama likaKristu: ukwahlulelwa kwabafileyo.^[19]

Abantu Bami Babhujiswa!

Kuyo yonke iminyaka eyi-168 yokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo, a incwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa lavulwa, uphawu ngemva kolunye, kwaqala ngelokuqala ngo-1846, ngemva nje kokubekwa kweSahlulelo. Incwadi yayibhalwe ngaphakathi nangemuva,^[20] ngakho ingxenye yayingafundwa ngaphandle kokuyivula incwadi. Ubudlelwano bezimpawu nomlando wobuKristu bumelwe yingxenye eyayingafundwa ngaphandle kokuyivula. Ingxenye efihliwe yencwadi yayingenakufundeka noma iqondwe kwaze kwaba yilapho kuvulwa izimpawu ngemva kuka-1844. Lokhu kulandela isibonelo sokunqotshwa kweJeriko, njengoba siye sachaza kabanzi Umlando Uyaphinda uchungechunge futhi kufinyezwe ku IBhabhiloni Liwile - Ingxenye I.

Uma uqonda ukuthi imashi yokuqala eyisithupha yaphindwa ekuhambeni kosuku lwesikhombisa, futhi kanjalo izimpawu eziyisikhombisa zavulwa ngempela phakathi nesikhathi sokwahlulela, khona-ke uyabona ukuthi iqiniso ngeSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa ekuqaleni nje yokuqonda kwesonto isivumelwano saphezulu! Kwavulwa uphawu lokuqala kuphela ngo-1846 njengoba baqaphela ukuthi babethola isivumelwano esivela eGunyeni eliphakeme kakhulu lasezulwini, kodwa ibandla lalinokuningi okwakumelwe likuqonde.

Emuva kweminyaka engu-168 efungisiwe, ukuphela kwalesi sigaba eside sokwaHlulela kwafika ngoSuku Lokuhlawulela (Yom Kippur) luka-2012. KwakuyiSabatha Eliphakeme eliphindwe kasikhombisa lika-Okthoba 27, 2012;^[21] usuku lokwahlulela lwabantu bokwahlulela—labo abaqaphela okwenzeka ezulwini ngo-1844. Lesi kwakungaba isenzakalo esibaluleke kakhulu ezulwini kusukela ekufeni nokuvuswa kukaJesu! Yeka indlela okumelwe ukuba umkhathi obukeka ngayo wawukubhekisise lokho okuholela kulolo suku! Kuzokwenzekani ngakho!? Ingabe abantu bakaNkulunkulu babeyozilungiselela bona ngokwabo ukufakaza Ngaye?

Okwaqala njengeqembu elincane, kodwa elishisekayo lase liphindaphindekile phakathi neminyaka eyi-168 ngemva kokuqala kokwahlulela, futhi ngokuhlanganyela badlula ezigabeni zokuthuthuka njengoba zimelelwa uchungechunge lwezincwadi eziya emabandleni kusAmbulo 2 & 3. Ngokudabukisayo, nakuba kwakubikezelwa, ngo-2012, amazwi kaJesu ebandleni laseLawodikeya ayengenakusebenza okwengeziwe:

Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuthi awubandi, awushisi; ngabe uyabanda noma uyashisa. Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yokuba usivivi, ungashisi, ungabandi, ngiyakukuhlanza uphume emlonyeni wami. Ngokuba uthi: Ngicebile, ngicebile, angisweli lutho; kanti kawazi ukuthi ulusizi, lolusizi, lompofu, lesiphofu, njalo uhamba ze; (Isambulo 3: 15-17)

Ibandla lalithathe isimo sengqondo sika-Israyeli wasendulo, sokuthi ngenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu wayebakhethile, babeyoba ngabakhethiweyo Bakhe phakade, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi baziphatha kanjani. Bebambelele esithembisweni (esinemibandela) sokuthi “ibandla liyodlula,” bakubala njengokholo ukuzihlukanisa neqiniso njengoba abaholi abaphakeme bengazinaki zonke izinhlobo zesono nokuhlubuka. Bawushaya indiva umlando kaIsrayeli, futhi izindonga zokuhlukaniswa nemikhuba yezwe zabhidlizwa kwaze kwaba yilapho ukuhlangana kwabo nezwe sekuphelele. Kusukela kwabangenandinganiso abasanda kusebenzisa ibandla ukuze bathole imizwa emihle, kuya kulabo abemukela ngokwenkolo yonke imikhakha yezimfundiso ezilandelanayo namasiko esonto, bonke baphika amandla evangeli okubhala umthetho ezinhliziyweni zabo. Babenobufakazi, kodwa kabayigcwalisanga ingxenye yabo yesivumelwano. NjengeLawodikeya (ngokwezwi nezwi, “abantu bokwahlulela”), babengabandi futhi bengashisi, nokho babekholelwa ukuthi abaswele lutho.

Uyakholwa futhi ukuthi izinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu aziguquki, ziqinile, futhi aziguquki; ukuthi konke kuzokwenzeka ngokoqobo njengoba kuprofethiwe futhi akukho esikwenzayo noma esingakwenzi okuzoshintsha lutho ohlelweni Lwakhe? Akunjalo! Angase azi isiphetho kusukela ekuqaleni, kodwa thina asikwazi, futhi Usibiza ukuba sihambe ekulungeni ngokukholwa ukuze umsebenzi Wakhe ufezeke futhi afike! Akuzange kudingeke ukuthi kuthathe iminyaka eyizi-2000, kodwa ngenxa yesimo sengqondo esinengekayo sokulinda ngokuvilapha sengathi uJesu unguYe ochitha isikhathi, imbangela kaNkulunkulu isesikhathini sobunzima. Sisethubeni lokugcina lokuqeda umsebenzi Wakhe noma sihlulwe yimpi! Ngeke kusaba khona ukubambezeleka. Sukuma umvumele afeze umsebenzi Wakhe kuwe!

Phaphamani ekulungeni, ningoni; ngoba abanye kabamazi uNkulunkulu; ngikhuluma lokhu ukuze libe lenhloni. ( 1 Korinte 15:34 )

IBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist lalinomthwalo wemfanelo omkhulu wokunikeza umlayezo wokugcina womusa emhlabeni, futhi liwuhole ezehlakalweni zokugcina zokwaHlulelwa njengesizwe sabapristi. Lokhu bekuyinhloso ye- Umlayezo we-Orion. Banikezwa ukuba babahlanze futhi babalungiselele ukukhonza njengabapristi ekupheleni komlando walo mhlaba. Nokho, esikhundleni sokubona isisindo somthwalo wabo wemfanelo ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu, bamukele udumo oluphakeme, futhi bavukele umcimbi ngokholo, bamfulathela Lowo owayekhuluma esezulwini. Basebenzisa kabi ingcebo enkulu kamoya uNkulunkulu ayebabusise ngayo, ebaguqulela isiqalekiso, futhi babala izwi Lakhe elivela ezulwini njengento evamile yomuntu. Ngokwenza kanjalo, babonisa ukuntula kwabo ukwesaba uJehova futhi banezela kulo monakalo omkhulu inhlamba “yeSabatha lendalo” yabo siqu.^[22] ngalo kanye usuku lokuphela kokwahlulela kwabo. Babengeke besakwazi ukubalekela isiphetho sabo senkampani:

Abantu bami babhujiswa ngokuswela ukwazi; ngokuba ukulahlile ukwazi, nami ngiyakukulahla; ukuze ungabi ngumpristi wami; lokhu ukhohliwe umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakho, nami ngiyakukhohlwa abantwana bakho. ( Hoseya 4:6 )

Sasinzima isigwebo esakhishwa ngalolo suku! Nakuba lalinelungelo elikhulu, iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist lalingeke livunyelwe ukufeza indima uNkulunkulu ayeyihlelele. Okwaqala ngokudumazeka okukhulu kwabathembekile bakaNkulunkulu emhlabeni ngo-1844, kwaphetha ngokudumazeka okukhulu kukaNkulunkulu ezulwini ngo-2012. Kodwa kulokhu okungokoqobo kwasezulwini, babengenandaba futhi basaqhubeka bengenandaba nhlobo. Bayaqhubeka nokulungisa isimo sabo semithetho iSabatha ngalinye njengoba bephishekela umhlaba, bekholelwa ukuthi banonyawo emnyango wezulu ngoba bangama-Adventist, futhi ama-Adventist “asenalo iqiniso” (alisenalo).

Iminyaka engu-168, Wasebenza naleli bandla, elivikela, eliqondisa, futhi elinikeza amandla njengoBaba onothando enganeni Yakhe. Kodwa njengo-Israyeli wasendulo, baqala ukufulathela futhi bafuna ukuphila njengamahlelo azungezile, kwaze kwaba yilapho inhliziyo yabo iqhelelene naYe, kangangokuthi lapho Ekhuluma e-Orion, abakwazanga ngisho nokubona. Izwi lakhe! Yeka ukuthi lokhu kumelwe ukuba kwayilimaza kanjani inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu lapho ebona umphumela ongenakugwenywa! Yizwa isililo sakhe esibuhlungu nesibuhlungu:

Manje hamba uye; ngizakutshela engizakwenza esivini sami [iBandla lamaSabatha lamaSeventh-day Adventist]: ngizasusa uthango lwayo, lidliwe; ngiyakudiliza ugange lwawo, lunyathelwe; ngiyakuwenza incithakalo; kepha kuyakumila amakhakhasi nameva; ngiyakuyala amafu ukuba anganinisi mvula phezu kwawo. Ngesivini se Nkosi Sebawoti yindlu ka-Israyeli, namadoda akwaJuda isithombo sakhe esithandekayo; wabheka ukwahlulela, kepha bheka, ukucindezela; ngifuna ukulunga, kepha bheka ukukhala. (U-Isaya 5: 5-7)

Ukuntula kwabo ukuphenduka nezinguquko ngesikhathi esimisiwe kwenza ukuba uNkulunkulu angakwazi ukubasebenzisa ukuze anikeze izwe ubufakazi bokugcina, obudinga abantu abaqinile nabathembekile. UNkulunkulu wayezokwenzani? Abantu baKhe babeMnqabele! Ngubani owayenganikeza izixwayiso zokugcina emhlabeni?

Ithempeli likaNkulunkulu lalilinganisiwe, lase lifinyezwa. UNkulunkulu wayebadinga abapristi abathembekile, kodwa wabathola bengakulungele nhlobo ukulwa, kodwa bedukile futhi bengazinzile, bephuza iwayini lamanga aseBabiloni. Umphumela omubi wephathi yesonto uchazwe ngokucacile:

Ngokuba onke amatafula agcwele ubuhlanzo nokungcola, akukho ndawo ehlambulukileyo. ( Isaya 28:8 )

Ngenxa yalesi simo esibi uNkulunkulu athola kuso abantu Bakhe—isivini Sakhe asithanda kakhulu—bayingcosana kakhulu phakathi kwabo abakwazi ukuzwa izwi Lakhe livela e-Orion futhi basabela. Akutholakalanga phakathi kwabo amadoda ayishumi nambili ukuba afakaze ngoYise, ngokuba akekho owalalela. Ngakho, kwakudingekile ukuba izenzakalo zokugcina zokwaHlulela ziqhubeke ngendlela ehlukile. Ngokuthula, izibukeli zasezulwini zazibukele ukuze zibone ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezokwenzani.

Kucelwe isimo esiphuthumayo, esivumela a ukushintsha indawo okwegceke lasezulwini. IBandla lama-Seventh-day Adventist, eliwumfanekiso ka-Israyeli, lalingeke lisasebenza ekuphakamiseni abapristi bakaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke esizukulwaneni sokugcina. Kunalokho, Wakhetha labo bantu abambalwa abasabela ezwini Lakhe, futhi wabaqoqela ndawonye, ​​kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngokwenyama noma ngokumelela, Ipulazi Elimhlophe Lefu eParaguay, eNingizimu Melika. Kulelo qembu elincane, uvusa isizwe sabapristi abayothatha indawo yalabo ababekhona "iphuma endleleni ngophuzo olunamandla."^[23]

Isikhathi Esiphuthumayo

Isimo sesifungo sikaJesu esikuDaniyeli 12 sinikeza ubude besikhathi sokwaHlulelwa izingxenye ezimbili. Ingxenye ebonwayo, njengoba sibonile, yembula isikhathi seminyaka engu-168 engxenyeni yokuqala yokwaHlulelwa. Ingxenye enkulu yesifungo isitshela ngokuphela kokwaHlulelwa futhi iphetha ngezenzakalo ezihlobene nokuZama kwesiBili. Lesi sigaba sesibili siyadingeka ngoba “izincwadi zomlando” zabaphilayo azikaqedwa, kodwa zisalotshwa njengoba ukuphila kusaqhubeka emhlabeni. Isikhathi sabaphilayo yisikhathi lapho amathonya ahlukanisayo ebangela abantu ukuba bathathe ukuma okucacile nokubonakalayo, ngokumelela noma ngokumelene nezimiso zomthetho kaNkulunkulu. Umthetho kaNkulunkulu uyindinganiso enkulu bonke abahlulelwa ngayo!

Kunezimiso ezimbili ezihlukene emthethweni kaNkulunkulu eziphathelene ikakhulukazi nezingxenye ezimbili zokwaHlulela. ISabatha laliwumgomo omkhulu wesigaba eside sokwahlulelwa kwabafileyo, kodwa ukwahlulela kwabaphilayo kuqhutshwa umthetho ohlukile, nakuba uxhumene! Umshado uyisikhungo esingamawele esihlanganiswe ngokungenakuhlukaniswa neSabatha. Iziqondiso zikaNkulunkulu zomshado zisekelwe eNdalweni, njengoba nje neziqondiso Zakhe mayelana neSabatha, futhi zombili lezi zinhlangano zivivinya ubuqotho bomuntu egunyeni likaNkulunkulu njengoMdali.

Awukho nowodwa umphumela wokwehluleka kweSonto Lama-Adventist oye wabonakala ulilimaza kakhulu ithemba lalo lensindiso kunenhlekelele yeNgqungquthela Yalo Enkulu YaseMinneapolis ka-1888. Ukube basabela ezwini leNkosi, babeyolandela izenzakalo zoMthetho WangeSonto njengokugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho seBhayibheli kuze kube sekubuyeni kukaJesu kuleso sizukulwane. Kodwa njengoba bamala uMniki-mthetho bethi babambe umthetho Wakhe, Wazihoxisa kubo futhi akakwazanga ukugcwalisa iziprofetho ezazishiwo, njengoba nje wayengenakubangenisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eKhanani ngaphambi kokuzulazula kwehlane.

Khona manjalo, lihlukumezekile futhi selinamandla, ibandla lagxila embuzweni weSabatha/ngeSonto njengendlela eya eKhanani lasezulwini. Njengabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, bathi:

Bavuka ekuseni kakhulu, bakhuphukela esiqongweni sentaba, bathi: Bheka, silapha, futhi sizokhuphukela endaweni lapho uJehova Nkosi uthembisile: ngoba sonile. ( Numeri 14:40 )

Leyo yimpendulo ye-Adventism ku-fiasco yango-1888: “iyokhuphukela endaweni lapho Nkosi uthembisile” “ngokugcina iSabatha.” Kodwa uMose wathi:

UMose wathi: Ngalokho niyeqa manje umyalo kaJehova Nkosi? kodwa kayiyikuphumelela. (Izinombolo 14: 41)

IBandla lama-Adventist liye landa ngamanani, kodwa ingabe liye laphumelela ngokungena eKhanani lasezulwini? Akunjalo—ngokuphambene, liye lacwila ekuhlubukeni okuphelele ngokuzithoba emithethweni yezwe yazo zonke izindaba ezingqubuzana nomthetho kaNkulunkulu. Ukugcina umthetho kaNkulunkulu, zonke umyalo kufanele ugcinwe, hhayi nje owodwa noma ngaphezulu. Namuhla, imibuso yombuso ishaya umthetho omelene noNkulunkulu hhayi ngombuzo weSabatha, kodwa odabeni lomshado—futhi ibandla lihluleke kabuhlungu esivivinyweni.

Ngenxa yokuthi ibandla lama-Adventist lawenqaba umlayezo weNgelosi yesine—kuze kufike futhi kuhlanganise nezwi likaNkulunkulu elivela e-Orion, icebo likaNkulunkulu lezimo eziphuthumayo seliqalile ukusebenza. Lokho kwakudinga isikhathi esengeziwe—isikhathi esavumela ukuhlasela kukaSathane umshado ukuba kukhule ngokugcwele futhi kuthele izithelo zawo ezinengekayo. Ukube bahlala bethembekile, izehlakalo zokugcina zaziyokwenzeka ngendlela ababeyoyibona ngayo, kodwa manje, bangaphansi kwenkohliso eqinile:

Khona-ke oMubi uyakwambulwa, … Lowo, ukufika kwakhe kungokokusebenza kukaSathane ngawo wonke amandla nezibonakaliso nezimangaliso zamanga, Nakho konke ukuduka kokungalungi kwababhubhayo; ngoba kabamukelanga uthando lweqiniso, ukuze basindiswe. Futhi ngenxa yalokhu uNkulunkulu uyakubathumela okulamandla okuduka, ukuze bakholwe amanga; Ukuze balahlwe bonke abangakholwanga iqiniso. kodwa ngajabula [kuvunyelwe] ukungalungi. ( 2 Thesalonika 2:8-12 )

Kulula ukuba ikamela lingene ngentunja yenaliti kunomuntu ocebile [i-Adventist, icebile ngokomoya] ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu. ( Marku 10:25 )

Lapho imithetho iba yizwe lonke echitha ukuhleleka kukaNkulunkulu emshadweni, kulapho ama-Adventist elindela khona umthetho weSonto ozayo. Bayahluleka ukuqaphela ukuthi isonto labo siqu likhulekela umfanekiso wesilo ngokugunyazwa buthule kwemishado esontekile, alibalungisi abahlukumezi ezinhlwini zabo. Ekwahlulelweni kwabaphilayo, bonke kumelwe bame futhi babe njengezintombi ezimsulwa, ezingangcolisiwe kanye nabesifazane (abamele amabandla),^[24] noma bayakwamukeliswa okwezinhlupho eziyakuthululwa phezu kweBabiloni nakubo bonke abanakho efebile naye, kuhlanganise neSonto LamaSabatha.

Ngase ngizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: Phuma kuyo [IBhabhiloni], bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zalo, ningamukeli izinhlupho zalo. ( IsAmbulo 18:4 )

Lelitestamente elalabo abaphuma KUWO WONKE amabandla ahleliwe, kuhlanganisa neBandla lamaSabatha, elilahliwe ngokusemthethweni. Isigaba 1.

Inguquko isuka embuzweni weSabatha iye embuzweni womshado, noma isuka ekwahlulelweni kwabafileyo iye ekwahlulelweni kwabaphilayo, ikhonjiswe esifungweni sikaDaniyeli 12. Esaphakamise izandla Zakhe ezulwini, ekhombisa ubude besikhathi sokuqala, wakhuluma ngomlomo ubude besikhathi sakamuva. Ngokufanayo, njengoba enye yayifika ekupheleni kwayo, elandelayo yayiqala.

Isonto lenza imizamo yalo yokuqala engathi sína yokwamukela uhlobo lomshado owonakele emhlabeni Intwasahlobo ka-2012, lapho indaba yokugcotshwa kwabesifazane, okunqunywa izimiso nezimpikiswano ezifanayo nokubekezelela i-LGBT, iqala ukunaka okusemthethweni kwesonto.^[25] Ngaleso sikhathi, isidingo sikaNkulunkulu sofakazi ababezomela umthetho Wakhe sasiholela ekubeni sibize ukuhlanganyela esidlweni seNkosi sakusihlwa kanye nathi ngosuku lwePhasika lika-2012, esalubona njengesiqalo seSidlo SeNkosi. “isikhathi, izikhathi, nengxenye” ngengxenye enkulu yesifungo sikaJesu. Izinsuku eziyi-1290 zimelela kanjalo,^[26] waqala ngalolo suku, ngo-April 6, 2012.

Umbuzo ungase ufike engqondweni yakho, “Ingabe uNkulunkulu ngempela angabhekana nesimo esiphuthumayo?” Siwuveza ngendlela esingayiqonda ngayo, kodwa uNkulunkulu wazi konke—ngisho nangekusasa. Wabona kusengaphambili ukuthi iBandla lama-Adventist lalizohluleka, kodwa kwakungeyona intando Yakhe. Ukuze alinikeze lonke ithuba, Wakhela eziprofethweni ukuguquguquka okuthile, kangangokuthi yonke into yayiyogcwaliseka ngokuphelele ebandleni uma babethembekile, noma okungenani baphenduka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Wabenzela konke okusemandleni abo, kodwa ukukhetha kwakungokwabo ngokuphelele; UNkulunkulu akazange avimbe inkululeko yabo. Noma kunjalo, iziprofetho azizange zibe namagama aqinile kangangokuthi zingavimbela ukugcwaliseka kwesibili okuphelele: lokho kohlelo lwezimo eziphuthumayo. Ubuhlakani bezwi likaNkulunkulu buwukuthi lokhu kuvumelana nezimo akunikezwa isigatshana esinemibandela esihlukile, esithi “uma ungathembeki, khona-ke lokhu kuzokwenzeka esikhundleni salokho,” funa kusikisele ngokungaqondile ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengalindele ukuba abantu Bakhe bathembeke. Kunalokho, kwakungendlela ehlukile, kodwa esebenza ngokufanayo yeziprofetho ezifanayo.

IBandla lalingazigcwalisa ngokuphelele iziprofetho, futhi ukuba lazenza, izenzakalo zokugcina zomhlaba zaziyobe sezifinyelele esiphethweni sazo esiwujuqu njengempendulo. Isivuno somhlaba zaziyovunwa, futhi uJesu wayezofika ngo-October 23, 2016, ngalo kanye usuku lokukhumbula ukuqala kokwaHlulela.^[27]

Yilokho okwakungenzeka, kodwa lapho uNkulunkulu elinganisa ithempeli futhi elithola lifushane, waqala ukulungisa nokuqinisa insali Yakhe yabaphristi—idlanzana elalisamlandela nomaphi lapho ayeya khona. Wabanika imijikelezo yewashi yamacilongo nezinhlupho, kodwa okuxakayo babengasebenzi ngendlela ababelindelekile. Kwakuyisikhathi esivivinyayo, futhi ulwazi lwabo lwachazwa kahle ngesikhalo sikaMhubi,

Izinyembezi zami zingukudla kwami ​​imini nobusuku, lapho bethi kimi njalo: “Uphi uNkulunkulu wakho na? ( IHubo 42:3 )

Ngaleso sikhathi sasingaqondi ukuthi ukugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho kwakuwumphumela wokuhlubuka kwesonto. Eqinisweni, kwaze kwaba yisikhathi secilongo lesithupha lapho sagcina sibona khona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayelahlile ngokungenakulungiseka iBandla lama-Adventist, futhi sahoxisa ubulungu bethu futhi saqala ukubiza abantu ukuba baphume kulo. Kuze kube yileso sikhathi, kwakuhlale kunethemba lokuthi isonto lisazohlanzwa!

Nakuba lawo macilongo okuqala engazange abavuse abantu njengoba sasikulindele, sasikwazi ukubona izingelosi ezingamacilongo, njengokungathi, zinezindawo zazo ezimisiwe nomculo ezitobhini. Nokho, okuxakayo ukuthi abadlali babengakakulungeli ukudlala! Kwakukhona nje okwanele okwenzeka ekuqinisekiseni imijikelezo yewashi esasikulindele silindele lokho okuzayo. Konke kwakuzokwenzeka, kodwa ngendlela ehlukile kunaleyo eyayilindelekile, esaqala ukuyiqonda ukuthi kwakungenxa yokwehluleka kweSonto Lama-Adventist ukufeza umsebenzi walo omiswe ngokwaphezulu.

Sasikuqonda kancane kangakanani ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayenzani ngathi, nokho sakubona lokho kwakuyiNkosi! Wayeyimpilo yobuso bethu futhi wayesilungiselela umhlatshelo wasePhiladelphia, lapho sibeka phansi amathemba ethu ajabulisayo ukuze ukwehluleka kweBandla kunxeshezelwe. Kwakudingeka isikhathi esengeziwe, ngakho sacela isikhathi esengeziwe, sikwethemba lokho Isikhathi izohlinzeka. Khona-ke, kancane kancane, uNkulunkulu waqala ukusivulela inkazimulo egcwele yecebo Lakhe elimangalisayo, leli Testamente elidlulisela kulabo abathakazelayo.

Uhlelo olubandakanya i-Adventism ngaphansi kwesivumelwano (uMthetho) abadluliselwa kubo ngo-1846 kwakuyisihloko semibhalo yethu kuze kube ngumhlatshelo weFiladelfiya. Ubufakazi esabubhala ngaphambi kwaleso sikhathi abuzange buchithwe njengoba neTestamente Elidala leBhayibheli lingachithwanga lapho iTestamente Elisha liveza ngalo ukukhanya okusha, ngemva kokuba u-Israyeli eseweqe umugqa wokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu.^[28]

Nokho kufanele sisiqonde kanjani isifungo sikaJesu ekukhanyeni kwesikhathi esengeziwe, njengoba isikhathi, izikhathi nengxenye empeleni akusakhombi “ekugcineni kwalezi zimangaliso,” njengoba manje ukunwetshwa sekukhona? Ingabe sikhona isiprofetho seBhayibheli esikhomba lolu shintsho oluphuthumayo? Siprofetha ngegunya likabani lezi zikhathi ezandisiwe? Lena imibuzo ephendulwayo lapho sifunda isihloko esasizophinda siprofethwe!

Ukuprofetha Isikhathi Futhi

Sibonile ukuthi iNgelosi yesAmbulo 10 yaprofetha kanjani ngomnyakazo weMillerite kanye nokudumala okukhulu, ivikela ukunemba kokuchazwa kwezinsuku ezingama-2300 kanye nokubaluleka kwalokho okwenzeka ngo-1844 ngokubenqabela ukwenza noma yiziphi izimemezelo zesikhathi zanoma yiluphi uhlobo. Lapho ukwahlulela kuqalile, sabona indlela isifungo sikaJesu esikuDaniyeli 12 sembula ukuthi singakanani isikhathi esasiyokwenzeka—kokubili kwabafileyo (iminyaka engu-168) nesabaphilayo (izinsuku ezingu-1290)—kuze kube sekupheleni. Kodwa futhi sabona ukuthi “abantu bokwahlulela,” iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist, behluleka kanjani emsebenzini wabo ngokubekezelela isono nokuhlubuka, bethembela engcebweni yabo yokomoya, bengazi ukuthi base bempofu, bezimpumputhe, benqunu futhi bengakufanelekeli ukugijimela uNkulunkulu ezweni. umjaho wokugcina. Insali encane kakhulu futhi ebuthaka, eyashiywa imile ukuze ikhonze njengofakazi bakaNkulunkulu, yayidinga isikhathi esengeziwe kunalokho ebesiyokwanela ukuba ingxenye ebalulekile yebandla yayilizwe izwi likaNkulunkulu. Nokho uJesu wafunga isifungo kuye “ophila phakade,” ukuthi kuyoba khona isikhathi, izikhathi, nengxenye! Isidingo sesikhathi esengeziwe sasingenziwa kanjani ngaphandle kokwephula isifungo!?

Umkhondo wethu wokuqala uvela evesini lokugcina leSambulo 10, elingena esiprofethweni esilandelayo:

Futhi yena [Ingelosi; uJesu] wathi kimi, Ufanele uprofethe futhi ngaphambi [noma mayelana^[29]] abantu abaningi, nezizwe, nezilimi, namakhosi. (IsAmbulo 10: 11)

Ama-Adventist aye ahumusha ngokwesiko lokho okufanele kuprofethwe futhi njengomyalezo wengelosi yesithathu, kodwa ulimi lusho okuhlukile. Ngenkathi i kuqala isigijimi sengelosi saya “kuzo zonke izizwe, nemindeni, nezilimi, nabantu”^[30] lokhu akushiwo nge wesithathu isigijimi sengelosi, namakhosi awafakiwe ohlwini. Nokho, umlayezo weNgelosi yesine wesAmbulo 18 ngempela umayelana “zonke izizwe [futhi kanjalo, abantu abaningi nezilimi zabo]... lamakhosi womhlaba.” ^[31]

Embonweni, uJohane umelela inceku kaNkulunkulu eyanikezwa isigijimi. Ekuqaleni, umelela uWilliam Miller, kodwa kuleli phuzu loguquko lweNgelosi yesine, kusobala ukuthi kumele amele enye: uMiller wesibili. Njengowokuqala, lo Miller wesibili wayezoprofetha isikhathi futhi, kulokhu eletha umhlatshelo. Isikhathi siyindikimba yombono weSambulo 10. Kwakuyisiprofetho sesikhathi uMiller asishumayela, isiprofetho sesikhathi iNgelosi eyasimemezela ukuthi siyophela, nesiprofetho sesikhathi okufanele siprofethwe futhi.

Umzalwane uJohane, okwanikezwa ngaye lesi sigijimi “sokuprofetha futhi,” akabizwanga ngaphandle kokuzibophezela okuphindwe kathathu ukuthi wayefisa iqiniso, kungakhathaliseki izindleko, isibophezelo esenziwa kamuva yibo bonke abangaphakathi kwenhlangano. Ngamazwi athi, “Ufanele uprofethe futhi,” isigijimi sokugcina sesintu sase siqalile, ngoba yileli vesi lapho uNkulunkulu aholela khona uMfoweth’ uJohn ukuba aqale izifundo zakhe, ngisho nangaphambi kokuba andizele eParaguay ukuze akhe umsebenzi wakhe lapho.

Kodwa ingabe wayenikezwe ngempela igunya lokushumayela isigijimi mayelana nesikhathi futhi? Ngonyaka ka-2010, lapho eqala ukushicilela umlayezo we-Orion emphakathini, abaningi bathuka lapho bebeka isikhathi sanoma yisiphi isenzakalo esiyisiprofetho, futhi izingcaphuno zika-Ellen G. White ezazibonisa igunya lesifungo sikaJesu kusAmbulo 10 zaziphindaphindwa kaningi njengobufakazi bokuthi kwakungeke kube yiqiniso. Kwakunjengokungathi amaJuda acaphuna umthetho kaMose ngesikhathi sikaJesu: ayengaqapheli ukuthi omkhulu kunoMose wayehamba phakathi kwawo, nokuthi ulapha ukuze amise isivumelwano esingcono. Ama-Adventist ahluleka ukuqaphela ukuthi isifungo seSambulo 10 sasilinganiselwe emilayezweni yezingelosi ezintathu, nokuthi umlayezo weNgelosi yesine wafika ngegunya futhi ngempela. kumele kube umlayezo wesikhathi! Futhi njengabaphikisi bomyalezo kaMiller wokuqala, abaphikisi bomyalezo kaMiller wesibili babengenalo ngempela uthando lokuvela kukaJesu, futhi bamane bacasha ngazo zonke izaba ezikahle zokungakholwa. Kodwa igunya laphezulu lanikezwa ngempela inhlangano entsha, njengoba sizobona maduze.

NguJesu ovezwa yiNgelosi kusAmbulo 10, futhi nguJesu ovezwa yi-Orion, ngakho sithola ukufana okuthile phakathi kweNgelosi nomyalezo we-Orion. Isibonelo, ubuso Bakhe njengelanga buwuphawu lwenkanyezi i-Alnitak, amelelwa ngayo kuyi-Orion, futhi embeswe ifu, njenge-nebulae enamafu eyizungezile. Lokhu kuxhumana okuncane kukhomba endleleni umlayezo weNgelosi yesine ubhekisa emuva esikhathini somnyakazo wamaMillerite, nakuba umlayezo ngokwawo wavela esikhathini esikude kakhulu. Osukwini lukaMiller, isigijimi sasingenakuhamba ngokushesha, futhi kwathatha iminyaka ukumisa isizinda saso eYurophu naseMelika, kodwa namuhla, ngenxa yokwanda kolwazi, isigijimi sasitholakala ngaso leso sikhathi kuwo wonke amazwekazi owakhiwe. Umbono weSahluko 10 ufanelana kuphela nesikhathi sikaMiller wokuqala kanye nokudumala okukhulu, kodwa isikhathi somsebenzi kaMfoweth’ uJohane sichazwa ngemininingwane engokwesiprofetho evesini lokugcina, kanye nesahluko esilandelayo.^[32] Isiprofetho seSahluko 11, kuhlanganisa nofakazi ababili, sigcwaliseka ngokuqondile ukunyakaza kweNgelosi yesine yama-Adventist eSabatha Eliphakeme.

OFakazi Ababili

Ofakazi ababili beSahluko 11 bachazwa lapha kanje:

Futhi ngizonika amandla ofakazi bami ababili, bayakuprofetha izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha; embethe indwangu yamasaka. Laba bayiminqumo emibili nezinti zezibani ezimbili ezimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu womhlaba. ( IsAmbulo 11:3 )

Mayelana nokuthi bangobani labofakazi ababili, i-Adventist Bible Commentary iveza lobu bufakazi obulandelayo beBhayibheli:

Ofakazi bami ababili. Kuphakanyiswe ukuhunyushwa okuhlukahlukene kwalolu phawu. Ukuhunyushwa kwevesi 5, 6 kuye kwaholela abanye ukuba baveze lab’ ofakazi njengoEliya noMose (bheka kuvesi 5, 6 ), kodwa ukubaluleka kwalabo “fakazi ababili” kudlulela ngalé kwalokhu. Evesini lesi-4 bakhonjwa ngokuthi “iminqumo emibili” ‘nezinti zamakhandlela ezimbili,’ okuyizimpawu ezithathwe kuZak. 4:1–6, 11–14 . Lapho kuthiwa bamelela “abagcotshiweyo ababili, abemi ngaseNkosini yomhlaba wonke” ( ivesi 14 ). Njengoba amagatsha omnqumo afanekiselwa amafutha ezibani zendlu engcwele (v. 12), kanjalo kulaba abangcwele abaphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu uMoya oNgcwele unikezwa abantu (bheka kuZak. 4:6, 14; bheka Kolose 408; cf. TM 338 ). Njengoba ukuvezwa okuphelele kukaMoya oNgcwele kubantu kuqukethwe emiBhalweni ye-OT ne-NT, bangathathwa njengofakazi ababili. (bheka GC 267; cf. Johane 5:39). Ngokuphathelene neZwi likaNkulunkulu umhubi uthi, “Izwi lakho liyisibani ezinyaweni zami nokukhanya endleleni yami”; “ukungena kwamazwi akho kuyakhanyisa” (IHu. 119:105, 130; qhathanisa nezAga 6:23).

Kafushane, ofakazi ababili iTestamente Elidala nelisha leBhayibheli.^[33] Leso isisekelo esakhela phezu kwaso manje.

Kunokuhlobana okuningana phakathi kweziprofetho zikaZakariya nesAmbulo 11, njengoba kukhonjiswe yi-Bible Commentary, kodwa lezo ziprofetho nazo zixhumene ngokuseduze nomlayezo weNgelosi yesine. Ngokwesibonelo, uZakariya 2 uchaza indoda enomucu wokulinganisa olinganisa iJerusalema, eliqondana nesiqalo sesAmbulo 11, njengoba sibonile esiqondana nomsebenzi walo mnyakazo. UZakariya 5 uchaza “umqulu ondizayo,” oyincwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa ze-Orion, ezindiza emazulwini.

Umbono wezihlahla zomnqumo ukhuluma ngamafutha kaMoya oNgcwele egeleza emithini ye-oliva engena ezibanini.^[34] Ofakazi ababili bafaniswa neminqumo emibili ngoba baphefumulelwe nguMoya oNgcwele.

Ngokuba isiprofetho asifikanga endulo ngentando yomuntu. kodwa abantu abangcwele bakaNkulunkulu bakhuluma beqhutshwa nguMoya oNgcwele. (I-2 Peter 1: 21)

NjengamaKristu, siyazi ukuthi amafutha ezibani zethu avela eZwini likaNkulunkulu eTestamenteni Elidala neLisha.^[35] UZakariya wayengumphrofethi ngaphambi kokuba kube neTestamente Elisha, kodwa sekuke kwaba khona ukuvezwa okukabili koMbhalo oNgcwele. KuZakariya, njengoba kwakunjalo ngosuku lukaJesu, imiBhalo yayihlanganisa uMthetho nabaProfethi. Kwase kuba iTestamente Elidala nelisha. Namuhla sinobufakazi "obudala" be-Adventism ekugcineni bagcwaliseka ensalini yensali, Philadelphia, kanye nalesi sivumelwano esisha abasinikeza sona ngalokhu izindlalifa.

Kunezivumelwano ezimbili kuzo zonke izimo. Ziyizinto ezimbili ezingokomthetho—inkontileka endala noyise benkathi edlule, ehlanganisa zonke izinkontileka zangaphambili, kanye nenkontileka entsha eyenziwa yilabo abahlangabezana ngokwethembeka nemibandela yenkontileka endala futhi ngaleyo ndlela bathola izinzuzo ezizinikezayo.

Manje yizwa lokho uJesu akushoyo ukuthi uzokwenzela ofakazi ababili, abamele amatestamente amabili—amadala namasha:

Futhi ngizanika ofakazi bami ababili amandla, njalo bazaprofetha izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha, embethe indwangu yamasaka. ( IsAmbulo 11:3 )

Ofakazi ababili babeyoba inikezwe amandla, noma igunya, lokuprofetha, nakuba embethe indwangu yesaka lokulila. Ofakazi ababili bayimibhalo ephefumulelwe nguMoya yeZwi likaNkulunkulu. Esikhathini esidlule, amandla anikezwa eZwini laKhe ayelingana neminyaka eyi-1260 kusukela ngo-538 kuya ku-1798, lapho iBhayibheli lalivinjelwa abantu ukuba lingabonakali, futhi kwaba nokushushiswa okunzima kulabo ababezama ukulifundisa. ngobulula bokholo. Kodwa njengoba sibonile ngaphambili, kunezindlela eziningi iziprofetho ezingagcwaliseka ngazo. Manje sesiyabona ukuthi lesi siqephu sihlobene nomyalo “wokuphinda uprofethe” onikezwe ekupheleni kweSahluko 10, nokuthi iZwi likaNkulunkulu manje lihlanganisa okungaphezu nje kweTestamente Elidala neLisha leBhayibheli. Umoya Wesiprofetho—imibhalo ka-Ellen G. White, isithunywa seNkosi—manje isifushaniswa neBhayibheli njengeTestamente “elidala”, lifinyezwa futhi laqedwa imibhalo yethu lokho kwaholela emhlatshelweni waseFiladelfiya.

Singaziqonda kanjani izinsuku eziyi-1260 esimweni samanje? Ngempela, kukhona ukusetshenziswa kwesimanje kwalesi sikhathi! Okubalulekile ukuthi amatestamende amabili enziwe samuntu ofakazi ababili. Esambulweni 10, uJohane wayengufakazi kuphela esifungweni seNgelosi, kodwa kuDaniyeli 12, umprofethi wabona. amadoda amabili efakaza isifungo. Bafana nofakazi ababili besAmbulo 11.

Uyayibona? Esifungweni saKhe esikuDaniyeli 12, uJesu ukhuluma ngesikhathi, izikhathi, nengxenye, emelela izinsuku eziyi-1290, njengoba kuhlanganiswe inyanga ehlanganisa izilinganiso. KusAmbulo 11, kunikezwe isikhathi esifanayo: izinsuku eziyi-1260. Khumbula ukuthi izinsuku ezingu-1290 zaqala ngePhasika ngo-April 6, 2012. Kodwa abantu bakaNkulunkulu babengakakulungeli ukuqala ukunikeza ubufakazi Ngaye, ngakho kwabizwa iPhasika lenyanga yesibili, njengoba lenziwa ezinsukwini zikaHezekiya.^[36] Leyo nyanga yenyanga yayinezinsuku ezingu-30, kusale izinsuku ezingu-1260 ngemva kwePhasika lesibili ngoMeyi 6, 2012. Ingabe amadoda amabili akuDaniyeli 12 angaba ofakazi ababili abachazwe kusAmbulo 11 ? Ubudlelwano phakathi kwalaba ababili buveza ukuthi bandawonye, ​​futhi bayaphelelisana! Ngempela, isithembiso sikaJesu samandla kofakazi ababili simane singesinye isici sesifungo esikuDaniyeli 12!

Ngakho, izinsuku ezingu-1260 yaqala lapho uJesu, ngalesisithembiso, enika igunya lokuprofetha, kofakazi Bakhe. Kwaba futhi ukuqala kwesabelo esikhethekile sansuku zonke sikaMoya oNgcwele esasizoqhubeka kuze kube sekupheleni kwezinsuku eziyi-1260.^[37] Lezi zilinganiso yanika amandla enkonzweni yeNgelosi yesine ngenyama yomoya ngesikhathi esifanele. Lokho kwakungamandla okuprofetha namandla okukwenza phakathi kokuhlekwa nokungakholwa. Ngaleso sikhathi, imibhalo ephefumulelwe yesikhathi esidlule yaqoqwa ndawonye futhi yaqedwa, okwaphumela ekuletheni kukaNkulunkulu isivumelwano saphakade.

Ukwenziwa samuntu kwamatestamende amabili “njengofakazi ababili” kuyiphuzu elibalulekile. Ichaza ukuthi kungani amatestamende—amathuluzi angokomthetho—ebizwa ngokuthi ofakazi. Zabhalwa abantu ababekhonza njengofakazi, benikeza ubufakazi babo ngokubhala izivumelwano. Kodwa abantu abahilelekile kule nqubo akubona “ofakazi ababili” beBhayibheli, ngokwabo. Bona (abantu) bavele babhale amatestamente, abizwa ngokuthi “ofakazi ababili,” kodwa leli gama alibhekiseli kubantu ngokwabo, kodwa libhekisela kulawa mathestamente amabili njengezincwadi eziphilayo.

Ukunikezwa amandla kofakazi ababili kuchaza izinqubo ezimbili ezihlukene. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, igunya linikezwe ukumemezela isikhathi futhi, futhi ngakolunye uhlangothi, ofakazi banikezwa isikhathi esinqunyiwe sokwenza umyalo wabo. Igunya lase linikezwe kakade nomyalo wokuprofetha futhi, lapho uNkulunkulu eqala ukuthulula imvula yamuva. Lesi kwakuyisikhathi sokugcwaliseka kwamazwi kaJesu okugcina kubafundi Bakhe ngaphambi kokwenyuka Kwakhe:

Wathi kubo: "Akusikho okwenu." ukwazi izikhathi noma izinkathi uBaba azimise ngamandla akhe. Kepha niyakwamukeliswa amandla, emva kwalokho uMoya oNgcwele usefikile phezu kwenu [Umlayezo weNgelosi yesine, okuyiMvula Yakamuva—umlayezo wesikhathi]: futhi [bese] niyakuba ngofakazi bami eJerusalema, naseJudiya lonke, naseSamariya, kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba. ( IzEnzo 1:7-8 )

Ngokusobala, uJesu wayesho ukuthi abafundi babeyoba ofakazi Bakhe kuphela ngemuva bemukela uMoya oNgcwele, futhi ngempela, babhala ingxenye yeBhayibheli ngemva kwalokho (kodwa, kunjalo, ngaleso sikhathi, abazange banikeze ubufakazi ngesikhathi sokubuya kukaJesu). Kithina, ukwamukela uMoya oNgcwele kubhekisela eminyakeni emibili yokuqala lapho sathola khona umlayezo wemvula yakamuva ngesimo sewashi likaNkulunkulu e-Orion kanye Nomkhumbi Wesikhathi. Kwaze kwaba yilapho isigijimi sesifinyelele ekuvuthweni okuthile namaphutha amancane eselungisiwe, lapho ukuthunywa kobufakazi kwaqala ngo-2012 kulabo bantu ababeyoma ngokomfanekiso enkantolo yasezulwini ukuze kuqulwe icala likaYise, njengoba kuchazwe encwadini yomthetho. Isexwayiso Sokugcina uchungechunge lwesihloko. Laba bantu bathola izabelo ezikhethekile zansuku zonke zikaMoya oNgcwele kusukela ekuqaleni kwezinsuku eziyi-1260; kusukela ngoMeyi 6, 2012 kuya phambili. Ngaphambi kwalokho, babengawulungele ngokugcwele umsebenzi wabo njengofakazi. Noma kunjalo, izikhathi ezingokwesiprofetho ezaprofethwa iNgelosi yesine ziphathelene nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo, kuhlanganise nokulungiselela ukusuka kukaBaba eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele eyohlala esikhumulweni semikhumbi.^[38] Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo kwase kuqale ngokusemthethweni ngezinsuku eziyi-1290 zesifungo esikuDaniyeli 12:7, ngisho nangaphambi kokuba ofakazi bangene endaweni yobufakazi.

Uyabona ukuthi yini ejule futhi ethobekile ekunikezeni igunya lesAmbulo 11 kofakazi ababili?! Ngalesi siprofetho, iNkosi ngokwayo ikhomba umnyakazo woMgibi wesibili ngokuthi, “Naba ofakazi Bami, engibanika bona mathupha igunya lokuprofetha.” Ngakho, lokho abakuprofethayo nabakubhalayo kuba imiBhalo yohlu lwezincwadi zeBhayibheli futhi kuthola isigxivizo segunya laphezulu! Umlayezo weNgelosi yesine uyisigijimi sikaMoya oNgcwele, futhi ungamafutha ageleza ezintini zamakhandlela ezimbili—amawebhusayithi amabili anemiBhalo, lokhu kukhanya okukhanyisa ngawo emhlabeni. Lokho kufana nesimanjemanje kwendlela okwabhalwa ngayo imiBhalo yeTestamente Elidala neTestamente Elisha! Kodwa kukhona okwengeziwe: futhi isiphetho sokubhalwa kwesu laphezulu lokusindiswa kwesintu.

Ngakho-ke, ofakazi ababili besAmbulo 11 bayinto efana “namathestamende” amabili omlayezo weNgelosi yesine. Eqinisweni, sasibonile ngesikhathi sesimemezelo sokuqala kuze kufike ku-2016, ukuthi ofakazi ababili bamele Umlayezo we-Orion futhi Umkhumbi Wesikhathi, eyayinembile futhi isebenza ngaleso sikhathi. Ngendlela efanayo, uMthetho nabaProfethi kwakufanele kunikeze indawo eTestamenteni Elidala nelisha ngemva komnikelo omkhulu esiphambanweni. Omunye ubheke phambili esiphambanweni, kanti omunye ubheka emuva esiphambanweni. Ngokufanayo nasezikhathini zethu zanamuhla, ofakazi ababili badlula enguqukweni. I-Orion Message kanye Nomkhumbi Wesikhathi kwadingeka bayeke isikhundla sabo esikhethekile njengofakazi ababili, ngokuhlonipha amawebhusayithi ethu amadala namasha njengama-testamente amabili, abheke phambili nangemuva kuMhlatshelo waseFiladelphia, ngokulandelana.

Yebo, asiwaphrinti amakhophi angempela “ezincwadi” zethu Namuhla. Kule nkathi yobuchwepheshe, senza yonke into nge-elekthronikhi, sisebenzisa amawebhusayithi ukuze sishicilele okubalulekile. Ngakho-ke sinamawebhusayithi amabili: eyodwa ibheke phambili emhlatshelweni wePhiladelphia (LastCountdown.org) kanti omunye ubheka emuva emhlatshelweni (I-WhiteCloudFarm.org). Isizindalwazi seLastCountdown sichaza iziphrofetho ezindala ezaholela emhlatshelweni wasePhiladelphia (nakuba sasingazange sikubone ngaleso sikhathi) njengoba nje iTestamente Elidala lalikhomba esiphambanweni, nokho akekho owayesiqonda ngempela. Futhi iwebhusayithi ye-WhiteCloudFarm.org ibheka emuva futhi ichaza isipiliyoni sangaphambili somhlatshelo waseFiladelphia ngendlela efanayo neTestamente Elisha elalikhomba ngayo emuva emhlatshelweni kaJesu esiphambanweni futhi lachaza iziprofetho ezaba ngokoqobo.

Lawa mawebhusayithi “ayiTestamente Elidala nelisha” lemibhalo yethu. Ababhali abane—njengabavangeli abane—babhala ngokuqondile ngomhlatshelo weFiladelphia ngemva kokuba kwenzeke ngo-Okthoba 2016. Ngamunye wabo wabhala mayelana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo okwabiwe kanye nalokho ababekusho, ngokombono wabo ngamunye, njengoba abalobi abane bevangeli babhala mayelana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo noJesu. Namuhla, sisesigabeni sokubhala “izincwadi” zeTestamente Elisha njengoba siqhubeka nokubika ngeziprofetho zamacilongo nezibonakaliso ze-apocalyptic ezulwini. Lezi zingosi ezimbili ziyimiBhalo yanamuhla, eyayibhalwe futhi ibhalwa ngamafutha kaMoya oNgcwele. Ziwukuqedwa kweBhayibheli—ukuloba izinto ezingalotshiwe okukhulunywa ngazo kusAmbulo: ingaphakathi lencwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa, nemidumo eyisikhombisa engalotshiwe. Kodwa kuNkulunkulu makube udumo!

IsAmbulo 11 sikhuluma ngofakazi ababili; ukuthi baprofethe izinsuku eziyi-1260 bembethe isaka, futhi baqede ubufakazi babo ngaphambi nje kokufa kwabo nokuvuka kwabo okwalandela. Ngokuqonda ukuthi ofakazi ababili bamele imibhalo yethu ngomlayezo weNgelosi yesine, singaqala ukuhlaziywa kahle umfanekiso.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi kunezici ezihlukile zofakazi ababili ezingabachazi ngempela ababhangqwana, noma ngaphambi koshintsho lwabo, noma ngemva kwalokho, kodwa ngokuvamile ezisebenza ngokujwayelekile. Ngokwesibonelo, sesishilo kakade ukuthi labofakazi ababili ngaphambili babeqondwa njengemiyalezo ye-Orion neVessel of Time. Futhi lezi izifundo eziyisisekelo eziqhubeka nokusebenza kuzo zombili iwebhusayithi yethu endala kanye newebhusayithi yethu entsha.

Ukuprofetha ngendwangu yesaka ngaphambi kokuba ofakazi ababili bavuswe futhi bakhazinyuliswe, kwenzeka esikhathini esiyiminyaka emithathu nengxenye ngaphambi komhlatshelo waseFiladelfiya—umhlatshelo ongokomfanekiso wamathemba ethu esiwazisayo, owaprofethwa enkonzweni yaseLastCountdown. I LastCountdown.org iwebhusayithi, emelela omunye wofakazi ababili abaprofetha bembethe indwangu yesaka, ibilokhu ibonakala imnyama futhi ibomvu, inezinkanyezi ngemuva, njengokungathi “igqoke” indwangu yesaka namachashaza nje amancane okukhanya alunguza ngemuva kwesibhakabhaka ebusuku.

Ukugqoka indwangu yamasaka kuchaza isimo esiqhubekayo sokulila ngesikhathi kunikezwa isigijimi. Hhayi nje ngenxa yokububula nokukhala^[39] ngenxa yezinengiso ezenziwa ngabathi bangabantu bakaNkulunkulu, kodwa futhi ngenxa yokuntula ukholo esasihlangana nalo nxazonke. U-Ellen G. White wasebenzisa uphawu lwendwangu yesaka ngenkathi echaza umsebenzi kaLuther:

UNkulunkulu wayenomsebenzi ayefuna awenze. Kusamelwe ahlupheke ngenxa yeqiniso. Kumele alibone lidlula ekushushisweni okuchitha igazi. Kumelwe ayibone yembethe indwangu yamasaka, futhi imbozwe isihlamba sabashiseka ngokweqile. Kufanele aphile ukuze athethelele, futhi abe umvikeli wawo lapho amandla amakhulu omhlaba kufanele afune ukuwubhidliza. Kumele aphile ukuze akubone kunqoba, futhi adabule amaphutha nezinkolelo-ze zobupapa.... {GW92 61.1}

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i I-WhiteCloudFarm.org iwebhusayithi yavezwa ngemva komhlatshelo weFiladelfiya, njengobufakazi besibili bomsebenzi kaJesu. Ayisembathiswa ubumnyama bobusuku obugcwele izinkanyezi, kodwa ikhanya ekukhanyeni kwemini, imelela ofakazi ababili ngemva kokuvuka kwabo okungokomfanekiso ngemva komhlatshelo weFiladelfiya. Kubonisa ithemba lethu ngoMuzi oNgcwele ngesimo somthunzi wentaba ephakeme ephonswe phezu kwamafu. Ukuklanywa kwamawebhusayithi kwaxazululwa kudala ngaphambi kokuba siqonde yonke imifuziselo uNkulunkulu aphefumulela uMfoweth’ uJohn ukuba ayisebenzise. Ithunzi, yiqiniso, lifanekisela iNtaba iChiasmus eyatholwa kamuva, esibhale ngayo kuyo. Iminyaka Eyisikhombisa Yokuphila. Le webhusayithi entsha manje ingenisa ekuseni ngokuza kukaJesu ngokukhala okukhulu kwecilongo lokumenyezelwa okwesibili.

Naphezu kwethemba eliqhakazile eselikhona selokhu sathola isimemezelo okwesibili, sisasele sigqoke amasaka, ngoba ukulahlwa komyalezo akuzange kunciphe. Cha, kodwa njengoba sisondela ekupheleni, kuba nobudlova nakakhulu. Amawebhusayithi amabili, amatestamende amabili kanye nofakazi banamuhla, ababezosebenza njengabahlengi bokugcina abathembekile bakaNkulunkulu, bami ngaphansi kwethunzi lokufa, okuphonswa phezu kwabo ulaka oluyimpumputhe nokushushiswa kwabazonda uNkulunkulu.

Imfumbe Yokuphindaphinda

Manje ake size embuzweni wokuthi izifungo zikaDaniyeli 12 nesAmbulo 11 zazingagcwaliseka kanjani, lapho ukwandiswa kwesikhathi esasithandazela esiqongweni seNtaba iChiasmus kwavunyelwa ngempela. Ngokwencazelo, isikhathi esimisiwe esishiwo esifungweni sasiyokwelulwa kungazelelwe kuze kube “sekupheleni kwalezi zimangaliso” ngendlela engaziwa okwamanje! Kulapho ubuhlakani bezwi likaNkulunkulu buthela khona izithelo. Lapho sizwa amazwi kaJesu, sivame ukuxoxa nawo njengokungathi yithi sodwa emhlabeni. Nokho, manje zibeke endaweni yofakazi abangaphesheya komfula, bobabili abagqolozele uJesu. Ezicathulweni zofakazi wokuqala, sizwa isifungo sikaJesu lapho edlulisela kithi isikhathi esiyizinsuku eziyi-1290. Khona-ke siya ngaphesheya komfula futhi sizifake ezicathulweni zofakazi wesibili, futhi sizwa amazwi afanayo, kodwa sisuka ngaphesheya mayelana nomfula. UJesu, ngokombono Wakhe, ufunga ubude bezinsuku eziyi-1290 ngezindlela ezimbili ezihlukene! Impendulo yale mfumbe iba sobala: UJesu wakhuluma naye ofakazi ababili emabhange amabili ahlukene, futhi kanjalo, kukhona izikhathi ezimbili ezihlukene zezinsuku eziyi-1290 iyinye!

UDaniyeli ubona uJesu emi phakathi kwabantu ababili ababona isifungo Sakhe. IsAmbulo 11:3-4 sibonisa isimo esifanayo esisanda kusibona, lapho enikeza ofakazi Bakhe ababili isithembiso segunya Lakhe lokufakaza. IsAmbulo sidweba isithombe ngezimpawu zikaZakariya njengengemuva, ombono wakhe wezihlahla zomnqumo ezimbili uhlanganiswe nereferensi:

Futhi ngizonika amandla ofakazi bami ababili, bayakuprofetha izinsuku eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha; embethe indwangu yamasaka. Laba bayiminqumo emibili nezinti zezibani ezimbili ezimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu womhlaba. (Isambulo 11: 3-4)

Ngase ngiphendula, ngathi kuye. Ziyini lezi zihlahla ezimbili zomnqumo ngakwesokunene sothi lwesibani nangakwesokhohlo salo na? Ngasengiphendula futhi, ngathi kuyo: Ayini lawa magatsha amabili omnqumo aphuma emibhobheni emibili yegolide, athulula kuwo amafutha egolide? Yangiphendula yathi: Awazi yini ukuthi lezi ziyini? Ngathi: Hatshi, nkosi yami. Wabe esethi, Laba ngabagcotshiweyo ababili, abami phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke. (Funda uZakariya 4:11-14.)

Ofakazi ababili besAmbulo 11 bayizihlahla zomnqumo ezimbili, kuyilapho encwadini kaZakariya, izihlahla zomnqumo ezimbili zingofakazi ababili abagcotshwe ngamafutha. Ngakho-ke kokubili, profetha ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele ukunikeza ukukhanya.

Kusekuningi okumelwe kushiwo mayelana nokuthi ubani kanye/noma ukuthi ofakazi ababili bameleni, futhi lokho kuzokwethulwa esigabeni samafa, kodwa ngezinjongo zethu manje, singahlanganisa ofakazi ababili njengemibiko emibili, uNkulunkulu anikeza ngayo ukukhanya mayelana nalezi zikhathi namuhla. Ufakazi wokuqala unikeza ukukhanya kwakhe ngesikhathi sokuqala-isimemezelo ngethu LastCountdown.org website, kuyilapho ufakazi wesibili edlulisa ukukhanya kwakhe kwesimemezelo okwesibili ngokusebenzisa yethu I-WhiteCloudFarm.org iwebhusayithi. Ngale ndlela, ofakazi ababili baxhumeke ngokuqondile kumawebhusayithi amabili, futhi bahambisana namatestamende amabili anamuhla.

Isithembiso sikaJesu esisencwadini yesAmbulo 11:3-4 asiqiniseki kancane kunaleso esikuDaniyeli 12:7, lapho ngesifungo saKhe, uJesu aphendula umbuzo wokuthi kwakuyothatha isikhathi esingakanani “kuze kuphele zonke lezi zinto.” Futhi iqinisekile njengesifungo sesAmbulo 10, lapho uJesu athi kwakungeke kusaba khona “isikhathi” kuze kufike isikhathi soMiller wesibili. Eqinisweni, kufakazela ukuthi lesi sithembiso esinikezwe ngegunya kuSambulo 11 singumlingani wesithembiso sikaJesu kuSambulo 10. Lapha, amandla esiprofetho sesikhathi anikezwa futhi. Kodwa kufanele kuprofethwe futhi ukuze kumenyezelwe ukuphela kwezinto okukhulunywe ngazo kuDaniyeli 12. Isifungo sesAmbulo 10 silandelwa yisikhulu KODWA, okuyinkomba ecacile yokuthi kwakuyophinda kube nesiprofetho sesikhathi esisha esasiyoholela ngempela ekupheleni kwezinto:

Kodwa ngezinsuku zezwi lengelosi yesikhombisa lapho izakubetha icilongo. imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu kufanele ipheleliswe. (IsAmbulo 10: 7)

IsAmbulo 11 sichaza lesi sigaba sokugcina sokufakaza ngaphambi kokuphela kwezimfihlakalo zikaNkulunkulu.

Umyalezo obonakalayo osesimweni sezihlahla ezimbili zomnqumo ezingakwesokhohlo nesokudla sikaJesu uhlanganisa nomqondo wokufunga, noma wokuthembisa igunya eliphakeme kunawo wonke (okuvela kuye amafutha kaMoya oNgcwele eminqumweni). Ikhonkodensi ye-Strong ichaza ukufunga ngokuthi "isikhombisa" wena uqobo:

H7650, שׁבע, shâba‛, shaw-bah'

Umsuka wakudala; kufanele iphelele, kodwa isetshenziswe kuphela njenge- denominative esuka ku-H7651; kwabayisikhombisa, okungukuthi, ukufunga (njengokungathi ngokuphindaphinda isimemezelo izikhathi eziyisikhombisa).

Isixazululo semfumbe yokuphindaphinda sisebenza nakofakazi ababili besAmbulo 11, futhi sigcina sinezikhathi ezimbili zesikhathi: umbhangqwana wezinsuku eziyi-1290 kusukela esifungweni sikaDaniyeli 12, kanye nepheya yezinsuku eziyi-1260 kusukela kusAmbulo 11. Ngakho, lokho okwaprofethwa kuwebhusayithi yethu endala, ngisho nangaphambi komhlatshelo osebenzayo weFiladelfiya kanye nesithembiso, kusewumhlatshelo osebenzayo kanye nesethembiso. Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, sinenye isethi yezikhathi zesimemezelo sesibili! IZwi likaNkulunkulu alinaphutha. Wenza ilungiselelo eZwini laKhe kudala ngaphambi kokuba sithandazele isikhathi esengeziwe!

Amagama amaningi nezinsuku ezisuka kuwebhusayithi endala kufanele manje kubhekwe ngokujulile, kubhekwe ngale kokusebenza kwangaleso sikhathi. Ngokwenza kanjalo, sizohlangana nomyalezo obaluleke kakhulu. Senza okufanayo ngeBhayibheli lapho sithatha izithembiso ezanikezwa u-Israyeli, isibonelo, futhi sizisebenzise kithi. Sifinyelela ekuqondeni okujulile ngokubaluleka kuka-Israyeli lapho siqonda leso sizwe njengesamukeli sokuqala sesibusiso sikaNkulunkulu ngefa. Leli fa, nokho, belingatholwa kuphela ukube “babengabanqobi”. Lezi zonke izimfundiso zamakholwa anamuhla, okufanele afunde esibonelweni esidabukisayo sika-Israyeli futhi alungise lokho u-Israyeli akona.

Umbuzo wethu manje uthi, lokhu kuqonda okusha kuvumelana kanjani nalokho esesikwazi kakade kusukela eNtabeni iChiasmus? Ukuze uqhathanise, singabonisa ngokucacile imigqa yesikhathi ekhona ye-(kakabili) 1260 kanye (kakabili) nezinsuku eziyi-1290 kumdwebo wethu wamanje kanje:

Kubo bobabili ufakazi wokuqala (LastCountdown.org) kanye nofakazi wesibili (WhiteCloudFarm.org), siyabona ukuthi imigqa yesikhathi yezinsuku eziyi-1260 neziyi-1290 iphetha ndawonye: ngo-Okthoba 18, 2015 kufakazi wokuqala, no-April 6, 2019 okwesibili, ngokulandelana.

Nokho umbuzo obaluleke kakhulu uwukuthi, Ingabe ishadi lilonke liyavumelana nesifungo sikaDaniyeli 12 , lapho amadoda amabili emi ngakolunye uhlangothi lomfula futhi ebuka uJesu emi phezu komfula? Kungumbono othakazelisayo ukuthi kukhona igebe Isikhombisa izinsuku phakathi kwemigqa yesikhathi emibili yezinsuku eziyi-1260, ehlukanisa isiphetho sokuqala kusukela ekuqaleni komugqa wesikhathi wesibili. Ingabe lesi sikhala sezinsuku eziyisikhombisa sinencazelo maqondana nendawo yesifungo?

Yebo kunjalo! Sibonile ukuthi “ukufunga” kusho kanjani ngokwezwi nezwi ukuthi “kumuntu oyisikhombisa” ngesiHeberu, nokuthi uJesu (omelelwa inombolo yesi-7, inani lokuqedwa) umi phakathi kofakazi ababili abezwa isifungo Sakhe mayelana nezikhathi. Emdwebeni, Uphakathi nendawo bobabili izimemezelo zesikhathi, njengoba nje ukubethelwa Kwakhe kumi phakathi kweTestamente Elidala neTestamente Elisha.

Ngalokhu kuqonda, singakwazi ukudweba umdwebo kangcono nakakhulu. Ukuze kokubili isifungo sikaJesu esikuDaniyeli 12 kanye nesithembiso kofakazi ababili kuSambulo 11 sivumelane ngokuphelele, umugqa oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ophezulu akufanele ubeke phezu kwegebe lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa. Ngakho, siphusha ukuqala komugqa wesikhathi oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka wezinsuku eziyi-1290 ngezinsuku ezingama-30, ngaleyo ndlela sisusa ukugqagqana, futhi sikuvumele kuqale ngokuhambisana nomugqa wesikhathi oluhlaza wezinsuku eziyi-1260, njengoba kukhonjisiwe ngezansi:

Sithola idethi entsha ebesingakayazi: Meyi 6, 2019—izinsuku ezingu-30 ngemva komhla ka-April 6, 2019 esiwujwayele. Okuphawulwe ngezinsuku ezingu-1290 zikaDaniyeli 12:6-7, okufanele kuqhubeke kuze kube “sekupheleni kwalezi zimangaliso” kubaluleke kakhulu ngoba kubonisa ihange lesinye isenzakalo. Lolu suku maduze luzodlala indima ethokozisayo kuzindlalifa zalesi sivumelwano.

Okubalulekile: umfundi akufanele adidanise lezi zinsuku eziyi-1290 nezinsuku eziyi-1290 zesinengiso sikaDaniyeli 12:11, esaqala ngempela ngoSepthemba 25, 2015, njengoba kuboniswe emdwebeni wokuqala nowokuqala. Lapho, alibhekiseli ezenzakalweni ezifanayo nezezinsuku ezingu-1290 zesifungo sikaDaniyeli 12:7 , esinikezwa ‘njengesikhathi, nezikhathi, nengxenye’!

Isikhathi sethu esisanda kutholakala sisinikeza isisekelo seBhayibheli sokulindela umcimbi izinsuku eziyi-1290 kusukela ngomhlaka-25 Okthoba 2015, ozoba ngoMeyi 6, 2019. Ukuze sithole ukuthi siyini, kufanele sibheke ukwakheka kwezikhathi: Ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo kwaqala ngo-2012 ngezehlakalo zika-April 6 no-May 6, futhi zizophela ngo-2019; ngemva kweminyaka eyisikhombisa impela!

Leli lungiselelo liyakwenza hhayi beka uJesu esiqongweni seNtaba iKiasmus. Kunalokho, phakathi nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo njengeZinga eliyisibonelo, okufanele bonke babheke kulo abafuna ukufinyelela esicongweni somhlatshelo waseFiladelfiya. Eqinisweni, uJesu umi endaweni echazwe kusAmbulo 7:1-3 : lapho icebo lezimo eziphuthumayo sekufanele liqale ukusebenza, njengoba abangu-144,000 XNUMX bengabekwanga uphawu bonke lapho kufika isikhathi sezinhlupho, noma ukuphela kwezimangaliso.

Emva kwalokho ngabona izingelosi ezine zimi emagumbini omane omhlaba, zibambe imimoya yomine yomhlaba, ukuze kungavuthuzi moya emhlabeni, naphezu kolwandle, naphezu kwanoma yisiphi isihlahla. Ngase ngibona enye ingelosi yenyuka empumalanga, inophawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo; yasimemeza ngelizwi elikhulu ezingilosini ezine ezanikwa ukulimaza umhlaba lolwandle, yathi: Ningawoni umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi, size sibeke uphawu izinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu emabunzini azo. (Isambulo 7: 1-3)

Ngaphandle kwesandiso sesikhathi, ukuma Kwakhe ngo-Okthoba 2015, bekuyoba ekupheleni kwesikhathi sesihe njengomgomo nesibonelo sabangcwele. Amazwi eziprofetho zeBhayibheli ezifanayo avumela ngamabomu kokubili okungenzeka; Izikhathi zezinsuku eziyi-1260/1290 zingaqondwa njengezisebenza kofakazi ababili ndawonye, ​​noma kufakazi ngamunye ngamunye, zinikezwe kabili. Nakulokhu, uNkulunkulu eqaphela wayivulela ithuba inkululeko yokuzikhethela yomuntu. Wazi konke; Wazi isiphetho kwasekuqaleni, kodwa akayigodli intando yomuntu ngokwazi Kwakhe kusengaphambili. Uma iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist belithembekile, noma okungenani liphendukile ebusweni bomlayezo we-Orion, isiprofetho sofakazi ababili besAmbulo 11 sasiyoqedwa ngesikhathi esisodwa sezinsuku eziyi-1260, kodwa uNkulunkulu wenza ukuba iZwi laKhe ligcwaliseke ngezigaba ezimbili; esimweni esibi kakhulu, ngepasi elilodwa kufakazi ngamunye—futhi ngeshwa kwenzeka ngaleyo ndlela.

Isivumelwano Segazi

UJesu omi phakathi kwemigqa emibili yesikhathi ujulile ngomfanekiso, omelelwa enye yemikhuba yakudala yokunikela. Ezikhathini zasendulo, isivumelwano senziwa ngokuhlukanisa izilwane zomhlatshelo zibe izingxenye ezimbili, futhi abasesivumelwaneni babehamba phakathi kwezingcezu. Nansi indlela uNkulunkulu asenza ngayo isivumelwano no-Abrahama lapho efuna isiqinisekiso esivela kuNkulunkulu sokuthi uzofeza isithembiso Sakhe:

Wamthathela zonke lezi [izilo zomhlatshelo], Futhi abahlukanise phakathi, wabeka ucezu olulodwa komunye; kepha izinyoni akazihlukanisanga. ( Genesise 15:10 )

Kwathi lapho ilanga selishonile, kwaba mnyama, bheka isithando somlilo, nesibani esivuthayo esadlula phakathi kwalezo zicucu. Ngalo lolo suku the Nkosi wenza isivumelwano no-Abrama, wathi: “Leli zwe ngiyinike inzalo yakho, kusukela emfuleni waseGibhithe kuze kufike emfuleni omkhulu, umfula u-Ewufrathe.”

INkosi yenza isivumelwano naye lapho edlula phakathi kwenxenye yomhlatshelo, ukuthi bonke “abantwana besithembiso”^[40] yayizobalelwa u-Abrahama.

Ukwedlula phakathi kwezingxenye zomhlatshelo kwakuwukuzibophezela kokuphila komuntu ekugcwalisekeni kwesivumelwano. “Ukuphila kwezilwane kwakuthembisa ukuphila kwalabo ababehlanganyela esivumelwaneni.”^[41] Kwakuyisifungo esiqotho sokuthi uma bengasephula isivumelwano, ukuphila kwabo kwakuyokwenziwa kufane nokwesilwane esihlukene phakathi!

Isivumelwano segazi sasihlanganisa isifungo sokuziqalekisa. Abathintekayo babehamba ngendlela ephakathi kwezilwane ezihlatshiwe ukuze bathi, “Makwenzeke kimi lokhu uma ngingasigcini isifungo sami.”^[42]

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi kwakubiza malini ukuze thina, njengamaKristu angewona amaJuda samukele ngokuqondile isivumelwano saphakade, ngaphandle kwamaJuda. Cishe iminyaka eyizi-2000, isivumelwano sasiphakathi kukaNkulunkulu nenzalo ka-Abrahama yangempela, ababezoba abazuzi besintu, futhi insindiso yayingamaJuda.^[43]

Ngokwezimo, abantwana baka-Abrahama baba izigqila eGibhithe. UNkulunkulu wabakhulula ebugqilini futhi wavuselela isivumelwano sakhe nabo entabeni yaseSinayi, lapho akhipha khona iMithetho Eyishumi. Lezo zibhebhe ezimbili zobufakazi zaziyisivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu no-Israyeli, futhi zazichaza imibandela yesivumelwano. Isivumelwano sinamaqembu amabili, futhi iqembu ngalinye alinazo nje izinzuzo, kodwa futhi nezibopho okufanele zifezeke.

UIsrayeli njengesizwe wehluleka ukugcina iMithetho Eyishumi, kodwa ngokuthumela iNdodana yaKhe ohlwini lozalo lukaIsrayeli, uNkulunkulu wanikeza Othile ukuba agcwalise imibandela yesivumelwano. UJesu weza ukuze agcwalise izibopho zika-Israyeli ngaphansi kwesivumelwano.

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

Ekugcineni, uJesu uyena yedwa owayegcine umthetho kaNkulunkulu, isibopho sesivumelwano. Ngokwenza kanjalo, wathola izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu ngokwemibandela yesivumelwano, futhi waba indlalifa yakho konke uNkulunkulu ayekuthembise isintu.

Kuyaye kuthiwe uJesu wayengehla esiphambanweni nakho konke ukulungisiswa, abuyele ezulwini njengeNkosi, ngoba wayenqobile esonweni. Kuyiqiniso ngomqondo othile, kodwa bekuyophambana nesimo Sakhe sothando, ngoba ngaleso sikhathi umhlaba wonke wawuyobe ulahlekile unomphela, ngoba abazange bahlangabezane nezimfuneko zesivumelwano njengoba enza. Kungakho kwakuyintando kaNkulunkulu ukuba iNdodana yakhe ihlupheke futhi ife ngenxa yabanye—ukubahlenga.

Ngemva kokunqoba zonke izinto, futhi esethole zonke izinto kuNkulunkulu, uJesu wenza ukuphela kwesinqumo uThando ayeyosenza: Wakhetha ukudela konke—ngenxa yabanye. Wenza isivumelwano esisha esinemibandela engcono: lokho ayekuzuze njengefa njengomJuda ngokulalela isivumelwano esidala, wayeyokunika labo abakholwa Kuye.

Kodwa manje usezuze inkonzo enhle kakhulu, njengoba engumlamuleli wesivumelwano esingcono, esimiswe phezu kwezithembiso ezingcono. ( Hebheru 8:6 )

Wagcwalisa imibandela yesivumelwano esidala njengendlalifa yaso kuphela, futhi wenza isivumelwano esisha ngemibandela ehlukene. Insindiso yayingeke isafika esizweni sakwa-Israyeli sisonke, kodwa ngaYe ngokukhethekile.

Ukuze aqalise isivumelwano esisha, uJesu kwadingeka anikele ngegazi—hhayi igazi lesilwane esingokomfanekiso, kodwa igazi laKhe. Ngokwenza kanjalo, wazifeza ngokugcwele izibopho zikaNkulunkulu ku-Israyeli ngaphansi kwesivumelwano esidala. UNkulunkulu wayefungile ekuzilimazeni Kwakhe futhi wayengeke ahlehle, futhi ngokuzithoba ekufeni, isiqalekiso sokuziqalekisa senziwa phezu Kwakhe. Esenzweni Sakhe sokuzidela, uJesu ngaso leso sikhathi wasayina isivumelwano Sakhe esisha ngegazi, futhi wahlangabezana nazo zonke izibopho ezivelele ngaphansi kwesivumelwano esidala, kanjalo ekhulula uNkulunkulu esibophweni esiqhubekayo ngo-Israyeli njengesizwe nabantu. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuze kube manje, isizwe sakwaIsrayeli silingana nanoma yisiphi esinye isizwe, silahlekelwe indima ekhethekile esasinayo ngaphambi kokuba senqabe uMsindisi.

ITestamente Lanamuhla

Konke okwenzeka ngokwesivumelwano kusukela ku-Abrahama kuya kuJesu sekuphindaphindwe. AmaKristu, njengabantwana baka-Abrahama, aba yizigqila ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Esikhundleni sokuba yizigqila eGibhithe, amaKristu aba izigqila zobuqaba nezikhulu zopapa. Khona-ke uNkulunkulu wavusa abashisekeli beNguquko bamaProthestani, abathi, njengoMose, bakhipha amaKristu kancane kancane ebugqilini benkolo yamanga. IBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist kwakuyibandla lokugcina lamaProthestani, futhi yilona elamukela uMthetho kaNkulunkulu kabusha ngokubuyiselwa kweSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa, njengoba nje abantwana bakwaIsrayeli bemukela iMithetho Eyishumi ngesikhathi sikaMose.

Njengabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nokho, i-Adventism nayo yahlubuka emingceleni yeZwe Lesithembiso ngo-1888, futhi kwadingeka izule ehlane. Ukuzulazula kwama-Israyeli ehlane kwaphela lapho uJoshuwa—umfanekiso kaKristu—engena eKhanani. Noma kunjalo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baqhubeka behla ngokuhlubuka bebonke, kwaze kwaba yilapho uJesu—uMesiya weqiniso—efika futhi evuselela isivumelwano njengoba kuchazwe ngenhla. Ngokufanayo esizukulwaneni sethu, ngemva kwehlane elide lizulazula ebandleni, uNkulunkulu wathumela uMoya oNgcwele nemvula yakamuva ukuze embule uJesu e-Orion, ukuze labo ababezomamukela bamukele umthetho ezinhliziyweni zabo, futhi ngalokho bahlangabezane nemibandela yesivumelwano esisha.

Indaba yabantu bakaNkulunkulu namuhla ayihlukile njengoba yayinjalo ngesikhathi sika-Israyeli. I-Adventism yehluleka ukuhlangabezana nemibandela yesivumelwano esisha. Babephethe uMthetho esandleni, kodwa beweqa ngomoya. Yinsali encane kuphela eyabambelela esivumelwaneni, igcina imibandela yaso yothando ngokwethembeka, futhi ngalokho yathola izinzuzo zaso.

Imithetho emibili emikhulu yesivumelwano iwukuthanda uNkulunkulu ngokwedlulele kanye nokuthanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena.^[44] Imibandela yesivumelwano esisha ithi lezi zimiso zilotshwe ezinhliziyweni zethu ngokholo. Ukuthanda umakhelwane wethu—umhlaba wonke—njengoba sizithanda thina, kuwukusebenzela insindiso yabo njengokungathi ingeyethu. Kuwukubanikeza umyalezo wokugcina wesihe ukuze babone isono sabo futhi baphenduke kuso ngaphambi kokuba kwephuze kakhulu.

Ngemva kokubonisa ukholo oludingekayo olubeka uthando ngabalahlekile ngaphezu kwesithakazelo sabo saphakade, idlanzana labantu namuhla—njengoJesu—ngokucatshangwayo lalingase lishiye isiphambano salomhlaba ukuze liye ezulwini futhi lithole umvuzo waphakade. Khona-ke futhi, kukhona izinhlanzi ezifanayo: bekuyophambana nesimilo sothando esilotshwe ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngoba bonke abanye babeyogwetshelwa ukufa okuphakade, behlulekile ukuhlangabezana nemibandela yesivumelwano esisha, ukuba nokholo kuJesu. Esimeni esinjalo, kunenketho eyodwa kuphela yothando ongayenza, ngakho iqembu linikeze umhlatshelo wasePhiladelphia, ngakho isivumelwano ababenaso sasingenziwa sitholakale ukuze abanye babe abahlanganyeli kuso.

NkosiJehova, ngubani oyakuhlala etendeni lakho na? ngubani oyakuhlala entabeni yakho engcwele na? ...Ofungayo kube kubi kuye, angaguquki. (IHubo 15: 1,4)

Abafakazi banamuhla nabo kungase kudingeke basayine isivumelwano sabo ngegazi, njengoba kuchazwe ku Isigaba 1 lalesi sivumelwano. Uma kunjalo, bayofeza okufana nalokho uJesu akwenza: bayonikeza izindlalifa ingcebo echichimayo abayitholile ngaphansi kwesivumelwano sangaphambili. Nokho, nakuba igazi likaJesu lakwazi ukuhlawulela amacala abantu, elethu akunjalo. Ngakho-ke, isiqalekiso sesifungo asinakususwa emakhanda alabo abenqaba umlayezo wokugcina wesihe—umyalezo weNgelosi yesine kaJesu kuyi-Orion. Njengoba umlayezo wemvula yakamuva, ukuwenqaba ngokuzimisela kuwukuhlambalaza uMoya oNgcwele, ongenakuthethelelwa.

Kanjalo uNkulunkulu uyofeza wonke umthwalo Wakhe wesivumelwano ngendlu kaNkulunkulu yakuqala, amaSeventh-day Adventist. Lesi sivumelwano samanje sizodlulisela zonke izimpahla ezibonakalayo nezingaphatheki (ezibalulwe eSigabeni 3) kuzindlalifa ezishiwo Isigaba 1.

Ithuba Lokugcina Lokujoyina Ama-Testators

Njengoba isikhathi sokuqinisekiswa kwalesi sivumelwano sisondela, kubalulekile ukuba abafundi bakaJesu namuhla baqonde ukuthi ingxenye yokubonisa ukholo lwabo oluhle ukuthembisa ukuphila kwabo. Ngesikhathi sikaJesu, abaningi abazange baluvume ukholo lwabo obala ngenxa yokwesaba amaJuda. Besaba ukushushiswa nokubulawa, kodwa abakwazanga ukuhlala kuleso simo unomphela futhi bagcine ukholo lwabo. Ukukholwa kumele kuholele esenzweni esibonakalayo!

Kulesi simemezelo okwesibili ngemuva kwe- umhlatshelo wasePhiladelphia, sehla ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso sisuka esiqongweni seNtaba iChiasmus siya emithambekeni emaphakathi, lapho abantu bakaNkulunkulu abathembekile abacashile bekhuphukela khona emzamweni wabo wokuphunyuka esigodini saseBabiloni esingezansi. Umzamo wokuletha usizo kwabanjalo nganeno kwentaba ye-chiastic uboniswa ngezimpawu ezihlukene endabeni yokugcina yencwadi kaJohane, Isahluko 21.

Kwakukhona abafundi abayisikhombisa—inani elingokomfanekiso labenzi besivumelwano nezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni sikaJesu sokunene.^[45]-Futhi njengathi, babelinde ngaselwandle ukuthi iNkosi evukile ibahlangabeze. Lapho belindile, badoba olwandle—okufanekisela ukudoba kwethu abantu olwandle lwabantu bomhlaba. Eselwandle uJesu wababiza wathi:

Khona uJesu wathi kubo: Bantwana, aninakho ukudla na? Bamphendula bathi: “Qha.” Wathi kubo. Phonsani inetha ngakwesokunene somkhumbi, nizakufumana. Base bephonsa, kepha babe besaba namandla ukulidonsa ngenxa yobuningi bezinhlanzi. (UJohn 21: 5-6)

Ukuphonsa inetha ngakolunye uhlangothi lomkhumbi kufanekisela imizamo yethu ngemva kwe umhlatshelo wasePhiladelphia, ngakwesokudla sentaba ye-chiastic yesikhathi. Sisengabadobi babantu, sidoba imiphefumulo, futhi iBhayibheli libonisa ukuthi sizobamba isixuku esikhulu ekufinyeleleni kwethu kwe-Inter-“net”, njengoba sesisebenza ngakolunye uhlangothi!

Lokhu kudoba okukhulu kwezinhlanzi ezivela eNkosini kuyoba yigugu, ngisho noma kungangeni emkhunjini. Umfanekiso ongokomfanekiso ubonisa ukuthi izinhlanzi zilethwa ogwini—iKhanani lasezulwini—ngobhapathizo lwamanzi lokufa. Ngaleyo ndlela, le miklomelo eyigugu—izinombolo ezingu-153 ngokombhalo—izofeza indima ebalulekile yokugcwalisa ingxenye yophawu lwesihlanu:

Lalapho selivule uphawu lwesihlanu. Ngabona phansi kwe-altare imiphefumulo yababulewe ngenxa yezwi likaNkulunkulu nangenxa yobufakazi ababenabo, bamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, bathi: “Koze kube nini, Jehova, ongcwele noqinisileyo, ungahluleli, uphindisele igazi lethu kwabakhileyo emhlabeni na? Base benikwa yilowo nalowo izingubo ezimhlophe; kwathiwa kubo, basaphumule isikhashana; kuze kugcwaliseke izinceku ezikanye nabo nabafowabo ababezobulawa njengabo. (Isambulo 6: 9-11)

Ngaleyo ndlela, laba abasanda kuguquka bayoba nethuba lokuhlanganyela kulo msebenzi, benezela amasignesha abo abomvu okwegazi etestamenteni phambi kwabenzi bomsebenzi wobulifa. Abanjalo abakholwa ngaphambi kokuba kuqinisekiswe isivumelwano banokuqashelwa okukhethekile:

Ngabona okubomvu njengomphetho ezingutsheni zabo; imiqhele yabo yayikhazimula; izingubo zabo zazimhlophe qwa. Njengoba sibabingelela, ngabuza uJesu ukuthi bangobani. Wathi babengabafel’ ukholo ababebulawelwe Yena. {I-EW 18.2}

UPetru wayephike iNkosi izikhathi ezintathu lapho uJesu equliswa icala, ngoba esaba ukubulawa. UJesu wakungabaza kathathu ukuzinikela kwakhe ukuze amvumele ukuba anqobe ukwehluleka kwakhe. Ekugcineni, uPetru wabonisa ukwethembeka kwakhe ngokufa kwakhe njengomfel’ ukholo. IZwi likaNkulunkulu liyaphinda libonise ukuthi kunezigaba ezimbili: oPetru noJohane—njengoMose noEliya ongokomfanekiso. UPetru wafa njengomfel’ ukholo, kodwa uJohane waphila ukuphila kwakhe konke, izitha zakhe zingakwazi ukumbulala. Abokuqala yilabo abayobhukuda emanzini, okufanekisela ukufa, kanti abakamuva yilabo abeza phezu kwamanzi (bephila) ogwini lapho uJesu ekhona. Abanye bazofa, kodwa bafike ngaphambi kwesikhathi,^[46] kuyilapho abanye bezophila, kodwa bafike kamuva. Ngamunye uyogcinwa ehoreni lokulingwa ngendlela ehlukile—kungaba ngokufa noma ngokulondolozwa.

Njengoba sicabanga ngalezi zinto, kungokwemvelo ukuzibuza ngesiphetho sabantu abathile, kodwa uJesu uyaxwayisa ukuba singaqageli ngale kwalokho okwembulwe ngalokhu:

UJesu wathi kuye. Uma ngithanda ukuba ahlale ngize ngifike, kuyini lokho kuwe na? ngilandele. (UJohn 21: 22)

UJesu usigodlile isinqumo sokugcina. Kufanele sizithobe entandweni Yakhe ngalezi zinto, futhi simlandele. Noma kunjalo, akusho ukuthi wonke umuntu kufanele ahlole inhliziyo yakhe futhi azibonakalise, ukuthi ukulungele yini ukuma ngaphandle kokuphika uJehova, lapho ebhekene nethemba lokubulawa ngenxa yokuhlangana kwakhe nenhlangano yamaSabatha amaSabatha aphezulu.

Okwethu akuwona umsebenzi wedlanzana labantu, futhi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umuntu ukusiphi isigaba, izwi lika ngamunye okholwe ukuthi umbiko wethu kufanele uzwakale kuleli hora eliwujuqu!

Ungesabi lezozinto ozahlupheka ngazo; bheka, uSathane uyakuphonsa abanye kini etilongweni, ukuze nilingwe; niyakuba nosizi izinsuku eziyishumi; thembeka kuze kube sekufeni, futhi ngizokunika umqhele wokuphila. (IsAmbulo 2: 10)

Kudingeka ukuthi abaningi basebenzisane ukuze bafeze umsebenzi. Kwakungenxa yokuthi sasingenakho ukusekelwa kwama-Adventist, okwakuwukuphela kwawo ayehlonyiselwe ukusinikeza, okwenza sasidinga isikhathi esengeziwe.

Kwakuyiqiniso elimangalisayo lelo. Njengoba nje uNkulunkulu ayedinga ukubambisana komuntu ukuze anikeze izibusiso zezithembiso Zakhe ngaphansi kwesivumelwano esidala, nathi sasincike ekwamukeleni kwama-Adventist umlayezo ukuze silethe izibusiso zesivumelwano esisha ezixukwini. Kodwa njengoJesu, ngeke sishintshe esifungweni sethu, nakuba sifunga ukuze sizilimaze. Lapho umsebenzi wethu wokufinyelela umhlaba ngomlayezo wensindiso sekufanele usuqediwe ekupheleni komugqa wesikhathi wokuqala wezinsuku eziyi-1260 ngo-Okthoba 18, 2015, sahamba noJesu phakathi kwezingxenye zomhlatshelo wesifungo, sesifungile ngokholo ukuthi sizomlandela. kungakhathaliseki izindleko!

Isibambiso sethu sokholo savuselelwa phezulu kweNtaba iChiasmus lapho sicela isikhathi esengeziwe, futhi ukuqinisekiswa kuyofika lapho ukholo luhlangabezana neqiniso noma uma ngoKristu osiqinisayo, igazi lethu linikelwa.

Ngokuba lapho kukhona khona isivumelwano, kumelwe ukuba kube khona ukufa kwalowo olenzayo. Ngokuba isivumelwano sinamandla emva kokufa kwabantu; ( Hebheru 9:16-17 )

Kwakungokungaphumeleli kweBandla lama-Adventist lapho isivumelwano esiphakade salethwa kithi ngaphandle kwabo, futhi ngokusiqinisekisa kwethu ngokufa, sasiyolethwa ngokushintshana yilesi sivumelwano kubo bonke ababeyokholelwa umbiko wethu njengezindlalifa ezifanele.

Isiko u-Abrahama ahlanganyela kulo lalimane nje limelela lokho okwakuyodingeka ekugcineni ukuze isivumelwano siqiniswe. Kwakuyisivumelwano segazi, kodwa u-Abrahama akazange anikele ngegazi lakhe, ngoba kwakuwumfanekiso—umfanekiso—wesivumelwano esikhulu kakhulu esenziwa nesintu sonke ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane ngokholo! UJesu wanikela ngegazi Lakhe eKalvari, ebonisa ukuzibophezela kwakhe negunya lokufeza imibandela yesivumelwano. Siphinde sinikele ngegazi lethu, sikhombise ukuzibophezela kwethu ku umhlatshelo wasePhiladelphia ukwenza ifa laseSmirna iyatholakala izindlalifa.

Ngalolo phawu lwegazi, kwakuyoxazululwa phakade ukuthi ukunqoba uKristu akuzuza esiphambanweni kwakunamandla anele okubhala isimiso esiphelele somthetho ezinhliziyweni zabantu. Igazi lethu lalingeke lihlawulele lutho, kodwa kwakuyodingeka ukuze kugunyazwe isivumelwano njengesignesha yalabo abafaka amatestanti, njengoba kufanekiselwa ukufa kwezilwane ezazihlukaniswa phakathi. Kungaba ukubonakaliswa kokugcina kothando lukaKristu enhliziyweni yomuntu, kumuntu wakubo.

UJesu NeziMpawu Zokwahlulela

Isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu asinakuhlukaniswa nomthetho Wakhe, ngoba siwumthetho Wakhe. Kulotshiwe ezinhliziyweni zethu ekugcwalisekeni kwesivumelwano esisha sikaJesu!^[47] Inqubo yokwahlulelwa iwukuqinisekisa ukuthi ngabe ngempela siqinise isivumelwano ngokuvumela uNkulunkulu ukuba abhale umthetho Wakhe ezinhliziyweni zethu, futhi ekugcineni akhulule isivumelwano. Futhi umiphi uJesu ngokuqondene nesivumelwano? Umi phakathi kwezingxenye ezimbili zomhlatshelo, okungukuthi, phakathi kwezikhathi ezimbili zesifungo esicacisa ubude besikhathi sokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo. Ngakho-ke, uJesu umi phakathi nendawo yokwahlulela njengengqikithi, iZinga lobuNkulunkulu elinomthetho obhalwe enhliziyweni Yakhe.

Phakathi nezikhathi zokuqala, sasilungiselelwa ukwenza umhlatshelo, ukubonakalisa ukugcwala kwesiqu sikaKristu. Lowo mhlatshelo uwubufakazi bokuthi umthetho wawulotshwe ngempela ezinhliziyweni zethu—kuhlanganise nothando ngomakhelwane bethu.

Ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo futhi yisikhathi lapho uphawu lwesikhombisa luvulwa khona! Ku Iminyaka Eyisikhombisa Yokuncika, sabona ukuthi izimpawu zesAmbulo zakha iphethini elimangalisayo lapho izimpawu zipakishwa ngokuphumelelayo kangangokuthi zivaleke ngokulandelana kwazo.^[48] Izimpawu ezintathu eziphezulu esitakini zethulwe kanje:

Manje njengoba sesinesithombe esicacile sazo zonke izikhathi zesiprofetho zofakazi ababili, isithombe esikhulu sezimpawu siyabonakala futhi. Ake sicwengisise izinsuku zokuqala nezokugcina zezimpawu ezithintwa yilokhu kuqonda okusha, siqale ngophawu lwesikhombisa, manje olunencazelo ecacile:

Lalapho selivule uphawu lwesikhombisa. kwaba khona ukuthula ezulwini kwangaba yingxenye yehora. (IsAmbulo 8: 1)

Emibhalweni yethu eshicilelwe, siyihumushe kahle ingxenye yehora njengesilinganiso sesikhathi ngokuphathelene nomjikelezo wokwahlulela wewashi le-Orion, okunengqondo njengoba liyincwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa, futhi umjikelezo wokwahlulela umjikelezo ohambisana nosuku lokugcina ngaphambi kokuwa kweJeriko, namamashi ayo ayisikhombisa. Iphethini yamamashi azungeze iJeriko iwukhiye, futhi lokho kuchazwe ngokuningiliziwe ku Umlando Uyaphinda - Ingxenye II futhi futhi IBhabhiloni Liwile! – Ingxenye I. “Usuku” olugcwele ewashini lokwahlulela luhlanganisa iminyaka engu-168, ngakho ihora elilodwa limane nje liyiminyaka engu-168 ÷ 24 = 7, okusho ukuthi ingxenye yehora iyiminyaka emithathu nengxenye.

Iphutha cishe wonke umuntu alenzayo—nathi nathi—iwukucabanga ukuthi le nkathi kumelwe ihlanganise lonke uphawu. Lesi sikhathi sokuthula sinikezwe evesini lokuqala, kodwa amavesi alandelayo ahlobene, futhi kufanele siwacabangele futhi. Sizobuyela kuleli phuzu, ngoba kunegugu elihle elizotholakala lapho! Sekwanele manje ukususa umkhawulo wokuthi uphawu lwesikhombisa, oluhambisana nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo, alukwazi ukuba lude kuneminyaka emithathu nengxenye. Njengoba sesibonile, isifungo sikaJesu sesikhathi, izikhathi nengxenye, sisebenza ezikhathini ezimbili ezifanayo! Ngakho, sinenkathi yeminyaka eyisikhombisa yokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo—ihora elilodwa ewashini Lokwahlulela—esikhundleni sengxenye yesibili yaleso sikhathi. Lokhu kubhekisela encazelweni yokuqala evela Iminyaka Eyisikhombisa Yokuncika (eshadini elingenhla), lapho ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo kuphawulwa njengokusuka ku-Oct. 25, 2015 kuya ku-April 6, 2019, okuyingxenye yesibili yesikhathi seminyaka eyisikhombisa.

Ngakho uJesu, omelelwa inombolo eyisikhombisa, ufanekiselwa kabili phakathi nokwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo. Ngokuqondile phakathi kwawo yinkathi yezinsuku eziyisikhombisa emelela uJesu emi emfuleni enza isifungo esikuDaniyeli 12:7 . Ngesikhathi esifanayo, sonke isikhathi sesifungo siyiminyaka eyisikhombisa ehambisanayo, emelela uJesu njengendikimba yokwahlulela neZinga abaphilayo abahlulelwa ngalo, umthetho waKhe olotshwe enhliziyweni.

Kodwa akukhona lokho kuphela esikubonayo lapho kuvulwa uphawu lwesikhombisa! Lesi futhi isikhathi esiyisiprofetho sofakazi ababili! Isifungo sikaJesu kuDaniyeli 12:7 sinikeza isikhathi esikhulu salo lonke uphawu lwesikhombisa ezingxenyeni ezimbili zezinsuku eziyi-1290, kuyilapho isithembiso saKhe sokunikeza amandla ofakazi ababili siyinkathi emfushane kancane (kodwa kusasele iminyaka eyisikhombisa) phakathi kwenkulu. Ngakho, umfanekiso ungokaJesu futhi ngokwezinga elincane, ofakazi ababili, okuwumbhalo obhaliwe wezwi Lakhe elivela e-Orion, elibhalwe ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele emvuleni yamuva ukuba bafakaze Ngaye emhlabeni wonke. Labo abakholwa yizwi likaNkulunkulu elivela e-Orion bangabahlengiwe, abanomthetho kaNkulunkulu obhalwe ezinhliziyweni zabo!

Uyasibona isithombe esihle esivezwe lapha? Vumela amazwi kaJesu enelise umphefumulo wakho:

angiyikunishiya niyizintandane; ngiyakuza kini. Kuseyisikhashana izwe lizongibona [e-Orion] angiphinde; kodwa nina niyangibona, ngokuba mina ngiyaphila, nani nizakuphila. Ngalolo suku niyokwazi nina ukuthi ngikuBaba [okungukuthi uJesu wembulwa ku Isikhathi], nani nikimi, nami kini. Onemiyalo yami, ayigcine, nguyena ongithandayo; ongithandayo uyakuthandwa nguBaba, nami ngiyakumthanda, ngizibonakalise kuye. ( Johane 14:18-21 )

UJesu umi kubantu baKhe, futhi abantu baKhe kuye, isithombe sobunye. Kungumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu obuyiselwe; UKristu nomlobokazi waKhe—u-Adamu wesibili, no-Eva wesibili.

Ngokuba singamalungu omzimba wakhe, awenyama yakhe, namathambo akhe. Ngenxa yalokho indoda iyakushiya uyise nonina, inamathele kumkayo, futhi labo ababili bayoba nyamanye. Le mfihlakalo inkulu, kepha ngikhuluma ngoKristu nebandla. (Kwabase-Efesu 5: 30-32)

Ingabe uyayiqonda ukuthi iyini ngempela ingqikithi yokwahlulela? I umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu manje ivaliwe ngokuphelele ukuze ukwazise futhi uqhathanise ne umfanekiso wesilo! Njengoba izimpande zako zise-Edene, ukubuyiselwa komfanekiso kaNkulunkulu kuyoqedwa ekudaleni umhlaba ngemva kweminyaka eyinkulungwane yesikhombisa. Khona-ke izincwadi zokwahlulela zizovalwa futhi izimpawu eziyisikhombisa zizobopha kuze kube phakade ubufakazi besono kanye nenkumbulo yokonakala komfanekiso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni. Ibhande le-Orion njengoba manje seliboshiwe, amathonya amnandi ezinkanyezi zayo eziyisikhombisa ayohlanganiswa nabantu bakaNkulunkulu, angaphinde alahleke. Lapho ukwahlulela kwabaphilayo sekufike esiphethweni, izimpawu ezisele ziyoqinisekisa ukunqoba kwesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu saphakade emiqondweni yawo wonke umuntu owake wazalwa, isinyathelo esisodwa ngesikhathi. Lena indaba yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa.

Uma ubheka futhi ezinye izimpawu, ukucolisiswa okumbalwa sekulungile, ngoba zivalwa ngokulandelana njengoba zavulwa.

Buthini ubumqoka balo mbono wesithombe esikhulu seNgqungquthela Enkulu phakathi kokuhle nokubi? Uphawu lwesikhombisa luhlanganisa umvuthwandaba wesivumelwano saphakade phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomuntu. Ukuvulwa kwencwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa kumayelana namatestamente. Kuhlanganisa lonke ifayela lamaphepha asenkantolo ahlobene nokuxoshwa okukhulu kwezingelosi ezimbi ezulwini, nokwamukelwa kwesintu esikhundleni sazo njengamadodana kaNkulunkulu!

Uphawu lwesithupha luhlanganisa ukubonakala okubonakalayo kukaJesu Kristu kwababi abacashayo:

bathi ezintabeni nasemaweni: Welani phezu kwethu, nisifihle ebusweni balowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi. olakeni lweWundlu: Ngokuba usuku olukhulu lolaka lwayo selufikile; ngubani ongema na? ( IsAmbulo 6:16-17 )

Ababi bazama ukucasha ebusweni bukaJesu, okukhomba ngesonto abonakala ngalo efwini elikhulayo. Bebelokhu bebhekene nokwanda kobunzima bezinhlupho, futhi ukubuya kukaJesu kuletha kuphela ukulahlwa kanye nebika elibi lokufa njengoba bezwa ulaka Lwakhe kubo. Labo abangakwazi ukuma bachazwe esahlukweni esilandelayo, kuyilapho abanye beshiywa ukuba bafe phakathi nosuku iminyaka eyisikhombisa engenamandla, njengoba iplanethi inikezela emiphumeleni yesikhathi eside yempi ye-athomu yomhlaba ihlanganiswe ne-hypernova ye-Alnitak.^[49] Ngalokhu kuqonda, leli vesi elingenhla liwela ekuvumelaneni okuphelele nokuvalwa kophawu lwesithupha ngosuku lokuza kwesibili ngokwalo.

Ngokuqondene nophawu lwesihlanu, senza ukucolisiswa okuncane kokususa usuku lwalo lokuphela lapho ababi sebefile bonke, okuyimpendulo yokugcina yombuzo wemiphefumulo yabafel’ ukholo ngaphansi kwe-altare:

Bamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, bathi: Koze kube nini, Nkosi, ongcwele noqinisileyo; Awunakwahlulela, uphindisele igazi lethu kwabakhileyo emhlabeni na? (IsAmbulo 6: 10)

Ngemva kweminyaka eyisikhombisa yokungabi nalutho, bonke ababi (“abakhileyo emhlabeni”) bayobe sebefile, benqotshwe amakhaza obusika be-athomu, futhi igazi labafel’ ukholo liyobe seliphindiselwe ngokugcwele uNkulunkulu. Khona-ke izimpawu ezisele ekugcineni zivala umlando wesono, kuze kube yilapho ukuvunywa kokunqoba kukaKristu kwaphakade kuyonikezwa kuzo zonke izilimi—abalungile nababi.

Ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi, onke amadolo ayakuguqa phambi kwami, nezilimi zonke ziyakudumisa uNkulunkulu. ( Roma 14:11 )

Kuthuleke eZulwini

Esinye seziqinisekiso ezimangalisayo zokuhola kukaNkulunkulu kulenkonzo sitholakala ophawu lwesikhombisa, oluhlanganisa amatestamente amabili anamuhla. Sesikuphawulile kakade ukuthi akufanele sicabange ukuthi ukuthula ezulwini yikho kuphela okuchazwe ocingweni lwesikhombisa. Ukuqonda kwethu okusha kwenkathi yeminyaka eyisikhombisa yophawu lwesikhombisa kufanelana kanjani nesiprofetho? Qaphela ukuthi iza kumongo wesAmbulo 7 kanye nokubekwa uphawu kwabangu-144,000:

Emva kwalokho ngabona izingelosi ezine zimi emagumbini omane omhlaba, zibambe imimoya yomine yomhlaba, ukuze kungavuthuzi moya emhlabeni, naphezu kolwandle, naphezu kwanoma yisiphi isihlahla. Ngabona enye ingelosi yenyuka iphuma empumalanga; enophawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo [lapho abangu-144,000 babekwa uphawu]: yasimemeza ngelizwi elikhulu ezingilosini ezine. owanikelwa kuye ukulimaza umhlaba nolwandle, Ethi, Ungalimazi umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi, size sibeke uphawu izinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu emabunzini azo. (Isambulo 7: 1-3)

Ukusebenzisana okuchazwe lapha kwembula kakhulu! Izingelosi ezine zokuqala zibambe imimoya, kodwa zinamandla okulimaza umhlaba, okungukuthi, ukudedela imimoya emine. Noma kunjalo, enye ingelosi iyabavimba, ithi izinceku zikaNkulunkulu azikabekwa uphawu! Lesi yisimo esingajwayelekile! Lezi zingelosi ezine zibonakala zingavumelani necebo laphezulu, futhi isithunywa esikhethekile kufanele sithunyelwe kuzo ukuze sizinqande zingaphumi emgqeni! Zingobani lezi zingelosi ezine, noma izithunywa, njengoba igama lingahunyushwa futhi?^[50] Lesi sigameko sisikhumbuza icilongo lesithupha:

Ingelosi yesithupha yayisibetha, ngezwa izwi livela ezimpondweni ezine ze-altare legolide eliphambi kukaNkulunkulu, lithi engelosini yesithupha enecilongo. Zithukululeni izingelosi ezine eziboshwe emfuleni omkhulu u-Ewufrathe. Zase zithukululwa izingelosi ezine ezazilungiselwe ihora nosuku nenyanga nomnyaka. ukuze abulale ingxenye yesithathu yabantu. (Isambulo 9: 13-15)

Lapha sithola zona lezi zingelosi ezine ezinamandla okulimaza umhlaba! Izinkanyezi ezine zangaphandle ze-Orion, ngayinye iphethe isigijimi sesikhathi esithile (ngaleyo ndlela izithunywa, noma izingelosi), ngokomfanekiso zibambe imimoya yembubhiso kuze kufike isikhathi sewashi. Ngakho esikubona kusAmbulo 7 ukuthi i-Orion yayikhomba icilongo lesithupha—inkanyezi yesine yezinkanyezi ezine zangaphandle (emjikelezweni wokuqala wamacilongo), lapho izingelosi, zilungiselelwa lelo hora, zazizokhululwa ukuze zenze umsebenzi wazo wokubhubhisa. Kodwa inkinga yayiwukuthi babeboshwe e-Ewufrathe, bengakwazi ukufinyelela emhlabeni! Futhi ngani? Yini eyayingenza uNkulunkulu athumele enye ingelosi ukuze iqondise lezi ezine?

Sibhekisela ecilongo lesithupha, sabhala Ukufa Kwamawele ngalezi zingelosi:

Ngokuphathelene nendlu engcwele yasezulwini, ikhuluma ngezilo ezine^[51] noma izidalwa eziphilayo^[52] ezimelelwa izinkanyezi ezine zezandla nezinyawo ze-Orion Clock—zonke ezifanekiselwa izimpondo ezine ze-altare. Ikhuluma ngezingelosi ezine eziboshiwe, okusho ukuthi kukhona obekubopha umlayezo [Umlayezo Wengelosi Yesine, umelelwe i-Ewufrathe] kanye nokuligcina lingasabalali ngendlela okufanele—okungubuholi obukhona bebandla:

Okuwukuphela kwento evimbela uNkulunkulu ekufezeni izinhloso Zakhe ngendlela eqondile kubantwana Bakhe yilapho kunesono phakathi kwabo. Kwakungabaholi beBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist ababeyisithiyo esigijimini. Isithunzi sabo esikhulu kunokuphila sivimbe konke ukukhanya okuvela ku-Orion. Sesikuchazile kakade ngaphambili, kodwa naphezu kwethemba lethu lokuthi abantu bayovuka futhi babone iNkosi yabo e-Orion, abazange bakwenze. Ibandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist lalingeke lenze ingxenye yalo ekuthumeleni umlayezo—noma LISHIYE umlayezo!

Izingelosi ezine zazisebenza ngokuvumelana ngokuphelele necebo likaNkulunkulu, kodwa ibandla alizange libambisane ukuze linikeze amandla azo esigijimini. Ngakho, enye ingelosi ithunywa ukuba iyokhuluma nalesi simo esiphuthumayo ngomyalezo othi, “Ima! Asikalitholi ithuba lokuvala izinceku zikaNkulunkulu okwamanje!”—ngenxa yesonto elalingekho! Njengoba singaziqondi lezi zinto ngaleso sikhathi, sasilindele ukuthi icilongo lesithupha lizwakale ngokuzwakalayo, futhi kwaze kwaba yilapho sesiqonda iqhinga elalidlalwa ibandla kumalungu alo ngaleso sikhathi.^[53] ukuthi saqala ukuqonda ukuthi kungani kwakudingeka ukubambezeleka. Isahluko 8, esiqala ngokuvulwa kophawu lwesikhombisa, sinikeza umbono omkhulu wendlela uNkulunkulu ayeyosibuyisela ngayo isikhathi esilahlekile!

Lapho selivule uphawu lwesikhombisa, kwaba khona ukuthula ezulwini cishe isigamu sehora. (IsAmbulo 8: 1)

Sesibonile kakade ukuthi akufanele sicabange ukuthi isigamu sehora sokuthula yiso sonke isikhathi sophawu, kodwa ingabe isizinzile engqondweni yakho okwamanje, kungani kukhona ukuthula ezulwini? Kungukuthula kokungabaza njengoba umkhathi wasezulwini ubuka ukuthi bekuyoba yini isimo esiphuthumayo! Leyominyaka emithathu nengxenye nayo yayithule emhlabeni ngomqondo wokuthi izixwayiso ezidingekayo ezivela ezulwini zazinganikezwa—kungaba yisonto noma izenzakalo zezwe ezinkulu ngokwanele ukuba zivuse futhi zixwayise abantu ngalokho okuzayo.

Nakuba kwakuyisikhathi sokuthula, nokho, kwakunomsebenzi owawubonakala.

Futhi ngabona izingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu; futhi kubo zanikwa amacilongo ayisikhombisa. (IsAmbulo 8: 2)

Kuleli qophelo, ukuthula akukakanqamuki, kodwa ukuqhubeka kwezenzakalo kuyembulwa. Okokuqala, ekuthuleni, uJohane ubona izingilosi eziyisikhombisa ezimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Lokho kufanekisela izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa zeOrion, ngoba ziyizingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu, zilungele ukukhonza ngisho noma ibandla lalingazifuni.

Ngokulandelayo, uJohane ubona, esathule, ukuthi banikezwa amacilongo ayisikhombisa. Manje njengoba sesinomfanekiso omkhulu wofakazi ababili, siyabona ukuthi lokhu kuhambisana nomjikelezo wecilongo phakathi nesikhathi sokumenyezelwa kokuqala, lapho izingelosi ezizungeze iwashi le-Orion zanikezwa okokuqala noma zabelwa amacilongo ayisikhombisa esAmbulo, kusukela ngo-January 31/February 1, 2014, Umjaho Wokugcina intshumayelo.

Uyabona ukuthi le ncazelo ihambisana kanjani nesikhathi sokuthula okukhulunywe ngaso evesini eledlule? Banikwa amacilongo, kodwa kuze kube manje, abakawakhiphi umsindo! Kuze kube yilapho sifunda ngento ezwakalayo, kufanele siqonde ukuthi isabhekisela esikhathini sokuthula!

Okulandelayo, sifunda ngemithandazo e-altare nokujikijelwa phansi kwesitsha sempepho:

Kwafika enye ingelosi wema e-altare. enomcengezi wegolide wempepho; yanikwa impepho eningi ukuba iyinikele kanye nemithandazo yabangcwele bonke phezu kwe-altare legolide eliphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi. Wenyuka umusi wempepho kanye nemikhuleko yabangcwele phambi kukaNkulunkulu uphuma esandleni sengelosi. Ingelosi yasithatha isitsha sempepho, yasigcwalisa ngomlilo we-altare, yasiphonsa emhlabeni; kwase kuba khona amazwi, nokuduma, nemibani, nokuzamazama komhlaba. ( IsAmbulo 8:3-5 )

Ingubani iNgelosi ekhonza e-altare lempepho? Lowo kwakuyoba umPristi Omkhulu wendlu engcwele yasezulwini, noma uJesu uqobo Lwakhe, kunjalo! Uyakhumbula ukuthi uJesu umi kuphi maqondana nomdwebo ongenhla? Umi ekupheleni komjikelezo wecilongo lapho icilongo lesithupha liphela khona nelesikhombisa liqala—phakathi nenkathi emibili yeminyaka emithathu nengxenye kusukela esifungweni. Kuyiphuzu lapho Angakhonza khona ngokulinganayo ngesikhathi sokuqala (uma iBandla lama-Adventist lalithembekile) noma elesibili.

Lesi senzakalo sifana necilongo lesithupha, lapho izwi lizwakala khona emagumbini omane e-altare legolide (i-altare lempepho). Kungaleso sikhathi lapho kufika inala yemithandazo evela kwabathembekile bakaNkulunkulu phambi kukaNkulunkulu okunamafu amnyama empepho. Nasekumisweni kweBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist ngesikhathi somjikelezo wecilongo lokumenyezelwa kokuqala, ukuhlubuka kwabo eMhlanganweni Omkhulu Wenkomfa YaseSan Antonio kwabangela ukuba imikhuleko yalabo abangcwele ababeselapho, yenyuke kakhulu kunakuqala! Kulula ukubona ukuthi lesi sigcawu somkhuleko sihambisana nemithandazo yabakholwayo eholela futhi efaka isicelo sethu phezu kweNtaba iChiasmus. Ephendula, uNkulunkulu wamemezela okwesibili isimemezelo, esichaza amazwi nokuduma kwezulu, futhi sinikeza inkomba mayelana nokwakwenzeka, njengoba uzobona.

Khumbula, kwakungesikhathi sesimemezelo sokuqala lapho sashicilela khona umkhuleko ka-Eliya wesimanje wecilongo lesithupha:

O Nkosi Nkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, u-Isaka, no-Israyeli, makwazeke ngalolo suku—uLwesithathu, Julayi 8, 2015 [ukuqala kwecilongo lesithupha]ukuthi wena unguNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli, futhi mina ngiyinceku yakho, nokuthi ngenzile zonke lezi zinto njengezwi lakho. Ngizwe, Jehova, ngizwe, ukuze lababantu bazi ukuthi wena Jehova unguNkulunkulu, nokuthi uphendule inhliziyo yabo emuva.

Hlanza Wena, Nkosi, indlu yakho ephunga lamaJesuit nasekuhlubukeni! Vumela umlilo wakho oqothulayo, ngokukaHezekeli 9, wenze umsebenzi wawo ukuze ibandla Lakho liphinde likhanye ngokukhanya owalikhethela lona, ​​ukuze kukhanyisele umhlaba wonke.

Kungani umlilo ungazange uwele ngalelo langa? Abangabazayo nabangabazayo bawuchitha ngokushesha lo mthandazo ngokuthi wawushiwo kumprofethi wamanga. Abazange baqonde ukuthi uJesu umi ngesikhathi, nokuthi izindlela Zakhe zingaphezu kwezindlela zomuntu! Kodwa ababekwazi lokho UNkulunkulu akalona nje uthando, bagcina ukholo lwabo kwaze kwafika impendulo. (Yebo, noma ngabe umlilo wehlile ebandleni ngalolo suku, abaphikisi bebeyothi lokhu kubangelwa izimangaliso zamanga kunokuba bazinikele eqinisweni, ngoba bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya. Yilabo abathanda iQiniso kuphela abayokwazisa ukukhanya Kwakhe.)

Ngakho waphendulwa kanjani ngempela umthandazo? Lapho sithandaza kuYe okhona, owayekhona, nozayo, singase sithole ukuthi imithandazo yethu iphendulwa ngendlela ekhazimula kakhulu kunalokho ebesikucabanga! UJesu wayazi ukuthi kwakuyoba ngcono kakhulu ukuphendula umthandazo ka-Eliya kamuva, hhayi ngecilongo lesithupha lomjikelezo othule wecilongo, kodwa ngecilongo lesithupha lomjikelezo wecilongo onomsindo omkhulu, oguquliwe! Sehla eNtabeni iChiasmus ngakolunye uhlangothi, siphinde sidlule endaweni efanayo ngesikhathi lapho uJesu ayemi khona ngaphambili, ekupheleni komjikelezo wokuqala wecilongo. Icilongo lesithupha lomjikelezo wokuqala limi ngakolunye uhlangothi lwecilongo lesithupha lomjikelezo wesibili. Lena yindlela uJesu abonwa ngayo uJohane emi ecilongo lesithupha layo yomibili imijikelezo.

Lesi sigaba setestamente lethu sikhombisa ukuthi ngempela, zonke lezi zinto zenziwe ngokokuhola kukaNkulunkulu—ngakho izithiyo zaziyosuswa ukuze ukukhanya Kwakhe kukhanye, futhi ukuze wonke umuntu abe nethuba lokuzuza isithakazelo esivumelwaneni saphakade sohlelo Lwakhe lwensindiso. Ngakho-ke umugqa wesikhathi wofakazi wesibili awuseyona inkathi yokuthula ezulwini: yisikhathi lapho abantu bengaphinde bezwe izixwayiso zeZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi baxhunyelelwe esivumelwaneni njengezindlalifa zensindiso ngaphandle kweBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist njengesithiyo.

Umsindo Wamacilongo

Nezingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezazinamacilongo ayisikhombisa bazilungisela ukuzwakala. (IsAmbulo 8: 6)

Sesidlulile endaweni lapho uJesu ami khona manje, lapho umsindo wezwi lakhe efunga uqeda ukuthula. Nokho umbhalo ongenhla usiletha ekuqondeni ukuthi kusenesikhathi sokulungiselela ngaphambi kokuba amacilongo aqale ukwenza imisindo yawo ecacile yesixwayiso. Lokhu kumelela ingxenye yokuqala yenkathi yesiprofetho yofakazi wesibili, kuze kube yilapho iwebhusayithi yesibili isilungile futhi namacilongo alowo mjikelezo wecilongo waqala ukukhala. Ngaleso sikhathi, abadlali babebuthana esiteji somhlaba, beshuna izinsimbi zabo futhi bezilolongela imigqa yabo. Sayizwa imisindo eminingi enjalo phakathi nesikhathi esasilindele ukuthi kube yizifo eziwumshayabhuqe.

Futhi, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi isiprofetho sasingagcwaliseka ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene, ngoba uNkulunkulu akayigodli intando yomuntu. UJesu wayezofika ngokwesimemezelo sokuqala ukuba iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist lalithembekile. Kuphinde kwaba nesikhathi sokulungiselela phakathi nesikhathi sofakazi wokuqala, futhi lokho kuhumusha kusasebenza ngaphakathi komongo wesimemezelo sokuqala. Kuleso simo, umjikelezo wokuqala wecilongo wawuyobe unomsindo ngenxa yokuthi kwakuyoba namazwi amaningi ayememezela ukuza kukaKristu nokuyaluza okwengeziwe ngokwezenzakalo zezwe. Nokho, njengoba sesimenyezelwe okwesibili, isiprofetho sophawu lwesikhombisa siba nencazelo entsha nejulile, ehlanganisa kokubili izimemezelo zesikhathi.

Ubani ongasho ukuthi asiholwanga nguNkulunkulu ukuba sicele isikhathi esengeziwe ngemva kokubona lesi siqinisekiso! Isinyathelo ngasinye endleleni sathathwa nje ngokulandela ukuhola Kwakhe, futhi kamuva sabona lokhu kuvumelana okwakhela phezu kweqiniso lokuthi lokhu ngempela kwakuyintando kaNkulunkulu! Ukubona yonke ingxenye yokwahlulela kwabaphilayo kubhekiselwa kuyo, hhayi njengoba sasikulindele ekuqaleni, kodwa njengoba saqonda ekugcineni, ngokulandelana okuphelele, okuqondile, kuyasiphoqa ukuba sidumise uNkulunkulu wethu, okunguye yedwa owazi isiphetho kusukela ekuqaleni! Singasethemba ngokuphephile isandla Sakhe esiqondisayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukubonakala kungasikiselani ebumnyameni bamanje.
