Kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo, isintu siye saqonda izinkanyezi ezinomsila njengamabika avela endaweni yaphezulu. Akufanele yini kube njalo, lapho uMdali owenza wonke amazulu enyakazisa izibonakaliso nezinkathi zonyaka nezinsuku neminyaka?^[1] Kodwa lapho isenzakalo sasezulwini sinencazelo yaphezulu, umuntu angakwazi kanjani ukuthi siyini? Kuthiwani uma umyalezo unganakwa?

Inkanyezi ka-Eliya yembula ubunikazi beBhayibheli benkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE (ngokwezwi nezwi “ukuhlakanipha okusha”), ngokusekelwe ezicini ezihlanganisa umzila wenkanyezi enomsila futhi ikakhulukazi isikhathi sokuvela kwayo. Kulesi sihloko uzothola ukuthi yimaphi amavesi eBhayibheli aziwa kakhulu akhuluma ngale “ngelosi” noma “isithunywa” nokuthi yisiphi isinqumo esilethela izwe namuhla.

Izinkanyezi ezinomsila zithakazelisa ikakhulukazi uma zingabonwa ngeso lenyama, ngoba inkanyezi enomsila iba yinto engokoqobo ebonwa nsuku zonke. cishe umhlaba wonke. Ngalesi sizathu, inkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE (noma i-C/2020 F3) yavela ezindabeni ngoJuni 30, 2020 ngesimemezelo esinesizotha sokuthi “ingasebenza” ngoJulayi—UMA ingasinda emngceleni. Kodwa noma kunjalo, ingabe lenkanyezi enomsila ingasho ukuhlengwa noma ukubhujiswa? Impendulo ewujuqu yalowo mbuzo ivela ngokuqondile eBhayibhelini, lapho inkanyezi enomsila ibonakala eziprofethweni—okuwumsebenzi olula ngosizo lwenkanyezi. Umlayezo we-Orion nezifundo zeBhayibheli ezihlobene nazo.

Njengoba ubona esithombeni sendlela yayo engenhla, U-NEOWISE waphuma ngokuqondile esandleni se-Orion. Ngomqondo othile—ukuhlanganisa nje amagama—lokhu kusho ukuthi “ukuhlakanipha okusha kuvela ku-Orion.” Ngakho, egameni ngokwalo, uNkulunkulu ukhomba umyalezo wolwazi olusha okufanele ufundwe kumlaza we-Orion.^[2]

Njengoba kuchaziwe ku Iwashi likaNkulunkulu e-Orion, iBhayibheli—ikakhulukazi incwadi yesAmbulo—lingaqondwa ngokugcwele kuphela ngokuphathelene namazulu, futhi umlaza we-Orion ufeza indima ebalulekile njengomfanekiso kaJesu, ‘ophethe izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa’ (okungukuthi amaplanethi asendulo) “esandleni sakhe” njengoba ehamba emkhathini welanga.^[3] Kodwa manje kuba mnandi kakhulu ngoba kukhona inkanyezi enomsila esandleni Orion sika!

Njengoba likhuphuka “likhuphuka” esandleni sika-Orion, lanqamula i-ecliptic izinsuku ezingu-7 (!) ngemva kokusitheka kwenyanga endaweni efanayo (bheka isithombe), ngaleyo ndlela kusikisela ukuxhumana okuqinile nolaka lukaNkulunkulu izimpawu zokuvuna yesAmbulo 14 kanye umphongolo wesivumelwano lecilongo lesikhombisa. Umbhalo wokuvuna waleli phuzu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukhuluma ngengelosi ‘ephuma e-altare:’

Futhi enye ingelosi yaphuma e-altare. eyayinamandla phezu komlilo... (Funda isAmbulo 14:18.)

Futhi lokhu kuhlobene nezahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu ezichazwe ngokomthetho wobupristi ngoSuku Lokubuyisana:

Ingelosi yayisithatha isitsha sempepho, yasigcwalisa ngomlilo we-altare. wawuphonsa emhlabathini. kwase kuba khona amazwi, nokuduma, nemibani, nokuzamazama komhlaba. ( IsAmbulo 8:5 )

Le mibhalo ichazwe ngokugcwele ezihlokweni ezixhunywe ngenhla, kodwa iphuzu lapha ukuthi isebenza ngesikhathi esifanayo lapho u-NEOWISE efika ngaso, futhi ibhekisela ekubhujisweni kwezwe ngomlilo,^[4] njengoba izwe ngosuku lukaNowa labhujiswa ngozamcolo. Ngakho-ke, kufaneleka kakhulu ukuthi uNkulunkulu ahilele inkanyezi enomsila njengesibonakaliso ngaphambi nje kokubuya kwesibili kukaJesu—njengoba abantu abaningi bebelokhu bekulindele ngenxa yokuthi izinkanyezi ezinomsila ziye zahlotshaniswa nokuphela kwezwe kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukubiza umlilo ezulwini (noma ukuprofetha) kuyisici sika-Eliya, omlingani wakhe wanamuhla kuprofethwa ukuthi uzofika ekupheleni kwesikhathi:

Bheka, ngiyakuthuma; u-Eliya umprofethi ngaphambi kokufika kosuku olukhulu nolwesabekayo lukaJehova Nkosi: ( Malaki 4:5 )

Ukuprofetha umlilo ovela ezulwini kuwumsebenzi we uEliya wokugcina, njengoba kuvame ukucashunwa ezihlokweni zethu:

UJohane weza ngomoya nangamandla ka-Eliya ukuzomemezela ukufika kokuqala kukaJesu. Ngikhonjwe phansi izinsuku zokugcina futhi wabona ukuthi uJohane wayemelela labo ababezohamba ngomoya namandla ka-Eliya ukumemezela usuku lolaka kanye lokufika kwesibili kukaJesu. {I-EW 155.1}

Lolu “suku lolaka” ngokuqinisekile luchazwa njengosuku lokubhujiswa komhlaba wonke ngomlilo.

Ngokuba, bheka, luyeza usuku oluvutha njengeziko; bonke abaziqhenyayo, yebo, nabo bonke abenza okubi bayakuba ngamabibi; futhi usuku oluzayo luyobashisa. kusho i Nkosi lamabandla, ukuze lingabatshiyi impande loba igatsha. ( Malaki 4:1 )

Qaphela ukuthi inkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE ine ngaphakathi isikhathi se-orbital cishe iminyaka engama-4500.^[5] Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukubonakala kwalo kokugcina kwakuseduze nokuqala kwekaNowa Iminyaka engu-120 yokushumayela ngaphambi kukazamcolo!^[6] Mhlawumbe yona kanye lenkanyezi enomsila yayiyisizathu sokuthi kungani impucuko yasendulo ihlobanisa izinkanyezi ezinomsila nokubhujiswa kanye nokuphela kwezwe! Kodwa okungenani, isikhathi sayo se-orbital esingenayo siyinkomba ecacile yalokho okushiwo yile comet.

Zonke iziprofetho zeBhayibheli zesikhathi sokuphela ziyahlangana; usuku lwenkanyezi enomsila esondela kakhulu emhlabeni ngalo July 23, 2020 inokubaluleka okukhulu okungokwesiprofetho ngoba ikhomba ngokunembile usuku oluphawulwe encwadini umphongolo wesivumelwano ngofakazi wesibili (ikherubi lesibili ngasemphongolweni).^[7] Izinsuku zanamuhla "U-Eliya” yilobu fakazi, yingakho kunokuxhumana okuqinile phakathi kwenkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE kanye no-Eliya.

Kodwa uElija wasendulo wanyuselwa ezulwini, ngakho-ke isiprofetho sikaMalaki^[8] kusho ukuthi lapho u-Eliya efika, kufanele avele ezulwini, ngandlela thize—ngakho-ke kunevesi elilodwa leBhayibheli ikakhulukazi elichaza lenkanyezi enomsila:

Futhi emva kwalezi zinto Ngabona enye ingelosi yehla ezulwini, enegunya elikhulu; futhi umhlaba wakhanyiswa ngenkazimulo yakhe. (IsAmbulo 18: 1)

Azikho izingelosi eziningi (ezinhle!) encwadini yesAmbulo okuthiwa zehla ezulwini, futhi lena ngokukhethekile ifeza indima u-Eliya wesikhathi sokuphela anayo, ekumemezeleni usuku lolaka:

Wamemeza ngezwi elinamandla, wathi: Liwile, liwile iBabiloni elikhulu, selibe yindawo yokuhlala yamademoni, nendawo yokubopha bonke omoya abangcolileyo, nenqaba yazo zonke izinyoni ezingcolileyo nezizondekayo. (IsAmbulo 18: 2)

UJesu, iSinkwa Sokuphila esivela ezulwini, naye wehlela emhlabeni—ingxenye yomhlatshelo Wakhe ngezinye izikhathi enganakwa—futhi uvela emavesini ambalwa kamuva, njengoba ungabona endleleni Ababiza ngayo “abantu Bakhe”:

Futhi ngezwa elinye izwi ezulwini, ethi: Phuma kuye, abantu bami, ukuze lingahlanganyeli ezonweni zalo, lokuthi lingamukeli okwezinhlupho zalo. ( IsAmbulo 18:4 )

Kulesi sahluko, uJesu usebenza kanye nengelosi eyehla ezulwini, njengendlela abasebenzisana ngayo njengamakherubi ambozayo phezu kwesihlalo somusa.

Wonke umlaza we-Orion umi njengomfanekiso kaJesu, nezinkanyezi ezine zangaphandle zibonisa amanxeba athenga ngawo abantu baKhe. Ngakho-ke, Ubabiza ngokuthi “abantu Bami” ngokufanelekile! WayenguManduleli, ogcotshiweyo wokuqala, kuyilapho u-Eliya (ogcotshiweyo wesibili) emelelwa kuphela njengenkanyezi enomsila, encane uma iqhathaniswa: isidalwa esidaliwe esibanjwe esandleni sikaJesu esinamandla. Umsebenzi waso sonke isithunywa ukukhomba uJesu kanye nomnikelo omkhulu obonisa uthando Lwakhe olungapheli. Ngakho, ingelosi yesAmbulo 18:1 (“u-Eliya”) imane ilandela ezinyathelweni Zakhe ekwehleleni emhlabeni, “ukwenza intando yalowo owamthumayo” ukuze alungiselele abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuba balandele uManduleli wabo baye ezulwini.

Ukulungiswa kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu kubandakanya ukuhlanza isimilo ngesikhathi solaka. Ukuwa okuphelele kweBabiloni nokuswela kwalo kuphawula ukuqala kolaka lukaNkulunkulu, njengoba nje izahlulelo zaKhe phezu kwama-Amori.^[9] zabanjelwa emuva size sifinyelele ngokuphelele isono sabo.

Kepha esizukulwaneni sesine ziyakubuyela lapha; + ngoba ububi bama-Amori abukapheleli. (UGenesise 15: 16)

UNkulunkulu uxwayisa umhlaba ngokuphindaphindiwe ngezithunywa Zakhe nezibonakaliso zasezulwini. Akachithi lutho oluhle, kodwa lapho ukonakala sekungene emphakathini owenqaba ngokuphelele ukulalela izixwayiso zaKhe, khona-ke isikhathi saKhe sokubhubhisa sesifikile, njengoba kwenzeka ezinsukwini zikaLoti:

Wayilahla imizi yaseSodoma naseGomora ngokuyiguqula ibe umlotha, waba yisibonelo kwabangayikumesaba uNkulunkulu; Wakhulula uLoti olungileyo, owayekhathazwe yinkulumo engcolile yababi: (2 Petru 2:6-7).

Ngazo zonke lezi zinhlangano eziseBhayibhelini, uNkulunkulu usebenzisa lenkanyezi enomsila ukuze asiqondise ezwini Lakhe, ukuze sifunde futhi sizuze ukuhlakanipha esigijimini esanikezwa “ingelosi” yesAmbulo 18:1 . Okuningi kwalokhu kuhlakanipha kwasezulwini kungatholakala kuyo Imfihlakalo Yomuzi Ongcwele, echaza ngisho nokuthi lengelosi eyisithunywa yeza kanjani ngempela emhlabeni, futhi nini.

Ngabe u-NEOWISE akafani nengelosi “enamaphiko” kulesi sithombe?

Nokho, inkanyezi enomsila ngokwayo iwuphawu nje olubonisa ukuthi isikhathi sesifikile sokuba inkazimulo yalengelosi igcwalise umhlaba; umyalezo wasezulwini aphiwe wona ubulokhu uthuthukiswa iminyaka eminingi—futhi waqala ngisho nasezizukulwaneni ezedlule.^[10] Ngokubona zonke lezi zinhlangano zebhayibheli, bekungeke yini kube “ukuhlakanipha” ukuphenya okunye “kokuhlakanipha okusha” lokhu kuka-Eliya-comet azokunikeza?

Umsebenzi ka-Eliya

Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi inkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE ayizange ibonakale kwaze kwaba ngemva kokusondela kwayo kakhulu elangeni, ngenxa yokukhanya kwelanga nokusondela kwenkanyezi enomsila kulo ngesikhathi somjikelezo ngoJulayi 3, 2020—ingxenye eyingozi kakhulu yokuzungeza kwayo. Nokho, lapho kuvela inkanyezi enomsila, imibiko yezindaba yadonsela ukunakekela eqinisweni lokuthi u-NEOWISE wasinda enyangeni futhi wayesebonakala ngokoqobo ngoJulayi 7, 2020, enezihloko ezinjengalezi:

I-CBS Miami - Bheka! I-Comet Esanda Kutholwa NEOWISE Manje Isibonakala Ngeso Lenyama

Amazwi anjalo asikhumbuza lokho iNkosi eyakusho mayelana nokuphela komhlaba:

Futhi lapho lezizinto ziqala ukwenzeka, khona-ke Bheka, niphakamise amakhanda enu; ngoba ukukhululwa kwenu sekusondele. ( Luka 21:28 )

Ukubonakala kwenkanyezi enomsila kwakuyizinsuku ezimbalwa nje ngemva kokusitheka kwenyanga okungama-penumbral ngoJulayi 5, okwathi umphongolo wesivumelwano, lifanekisela ithebula lesibili lomthetho elivulwa ukuze abantu basemhlabeni babukeke. Ngakho-ke, inkanyezi enomsila yabonakala ngemva kwalokho, ngoba ukuwa kweBabiloni ngokuphelele kumenyezelwa kuphela yingelosi yesAmbulo 18 uma umthetho usuveziwe ngokugcwele neziphambeko zomhlaba sezibonakala ngokusobala ngokuphambene nemithetho yawo.

Esimweni sokubonakala, kuyaphawuleka futhi ukuthi inkanyezi enomsila ivele ngosuku olwedlule Julayi 8, okubuye kube usuku olubalulekile emawashini kaNkulunkulu. Eqinisweni, lolu suku lubaluleke kakhulu kangangokuthi le ncwadi yahlelelwa ukuba ibe ngo-July 8 ngisho nangaphambi kokuba noma ubani (kuhlanganise nathi) azi ukuthi le nkanyezi enomsila yayiyophuma iphelele elangeni, ingasaphathwa eyokuthi iyobonakala nini ngeso lenyama. Kodwa isikhathi sikaNkulunkulu siphelele, nezibonakaliso zaKhe nezimangaliso zilandela abantu baKhe.

Noma kunjalo, iseluleko seNkosi (nokuhlangenwe nakho kwesikhathi esidlule) sisazisa ukuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini ebesingayishicilela ngaphambili, besingeke sikholise muntu, ngoba kubantu abaningi, “ukubona kungukukholwa”:

Manje senginitshelile kungakenzeki ukuthi, lapho sekwenzeka, ningakholwa. ( Johane 14:29 )

Sifundile ukuthi bambalwa kakhulu abantu abakholwayo nalapho kukhona okubonayo- okuncane kakhulu ngaphambili. Kuyalinga ukufuna ukubikezela ikusasa ngokuphelele ngaphambi kokuba lenzeke, kodwa lokho ekugcineni kuyilungelo laphezulu, futhi izidalwa ezidaliwe kufanele zikhazimulise uNkulunkulu, hhayi zona. Nokho, kufanele silwele ukwazi uNkulunkulu nokuqonda ikusasa ngendlela esingakwenza ngayo ngeZwi laKhe, ngakho-ke ukutadisha iBhayibheli kubaluleke kakhulu ekuphileni komKristu, ikakhulukazi kulezi zinsuku zokugcina lapho impi yokugcina ishubile. Kodwa isiprofetho sihamba phambili ngoJesu, njengoba Waphinda wathi:

Manje ngiyanitshela kungakenzeki ukuthi, nxa sekwenzeka, ningakholwa ukuthi nginguye. (UJohn 13: 19)

UNkulunkulu uyena kuphela owazi isiphetho kusukela ekuqaleni futhi wembula izinhlelo Zakhe ezincekwini Zakhe, futhi lesi sihloko sizobonisa ukuthi kanjani UNkulunkulu wenza amacebo akhe, kusenesikhathi eside. Akufanele sikhohlwe ukuthi nakuba kufanele sibukele futhi sithandaze, uNkulunkulu unikeza iziprofetho ukuze uma kwenzeka, ukukholwa kulandele. Ukuhlakanipha Kwakhe okufanele kukhanye, hhayi ukuhlakanipha komuntu, futhi konke ukudunyiswa, udumo, inkazimulo, namandla ngokukaNkulunkulu ngokuhola Kwakhe kobuNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zabantu.

Lesi futhi kwakuyisimo sengqondo somprofethi wasendulo u-Eliya, owasebenza kanzima ukubuyisela izinhliziyo zabantu bakaNkulunkulu kuYe; akafunanga ukuziphakamisa, kepha ukudumisa uJehova;

Kwathi ngesikhathi sokunikela komhlatshelo wakusihlwa, u-Eliya umprofethi wasondela, wathi: Nkosi uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, no-Isaka, no-Israyeli, makwazeke namuhla ukuthi wena nginguNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli, nami nginguye WAKHO inceku, nokuthi ngenzile zonke lezi zinto izwi lakho. Ngizwe, O Nkosi, ngizwe, ukuze lababantu bakwazi lokho uwena Nkosi UNkulunkulu, futhi lokho wena ekubalekeni wabuyisela inhliziyo yabo emuva futhi. ( 1 AmaKhosi 18:36-37 )

Ngezindlela eziningi, lesi sihloko silandela emgqeni wochungechunge olunesihloko esithi Isithembiso sika-Eliya, echaza “u-Eliya wokugcina” owaprofethwa encwadini kaMalaki ukuze alungiselele abantu “usuku lukaJehova olukhulu nolwesabekayo.”^[11] Kwakukhona abanye abantu abafana no-Eliya ngezikhathi ezihlukahlukene emlandweni, yiqiniso, bebuyela emuva kuJohane uMbhapathizi owalungisa indlela yokuza kukaJesu kokuqala, kodwa lapha sikhuluma ngesibalo sika-Eliya wosuku lwanamuhla oza ukuzokwenza isimemezelo esibalulekile sika-Eliya. usuku lolaka nokubuya kwesibili kukaJesu—ngakho-ke kubhekiselwa kuye ngokuthi u-Eliya “wokugcina”.^[12]

Futhi ngalowo mqondo, uJulayi 8, 2020 unokubaluleka okukhulu ngoba kuwusuku lwesikhumbuzo somcimbi obalulekile “ka-Eliya”...

Inselele YeKarmeli

Eminyakeni emihlanu edlule (kusukela mhla ziyisi-8 kuNtulikazi), umhlaba wamaKrestu wabizelwa a isiqongo sentaba esingokomoya ngomqhudelwano owafaniswa nesipiliyoni sika-Eliya eNtabeni iKarmeli. Inselele yayiqondiswe kubaholi bamabandla amaProthestani, futhi isonto elilodwa lakhethwa ngokukhethekile njengesibonelo esiyinhloko sobuholi obuhlubukayo: ISonto LamaSabatha nomongameli walo ofana no-Ahabi. Le nselele yenza wonke umhlaba wamaKristu wafinyelela esinqumweni esiphathelene nezindaba zamanje zokwethembeka kuNkulunkulu. Kwenzeka ngemva nje kokuba iNkantolo Ephakeme yase-United States yenze ngempumelelo ubudoda njengomthetho wezwe, futhi ngaleyo ndlela indaba yomshado nomndeni yayibaluleke kakhulu emasontweni, ngenxa yezinkinga ezingokomthetho.^[13]

Lo mlando ubaluleke kakhulu namuhla, ngoba i-coronavirus isuse ukunaka kwawo wonke umuntu—ikakhulukazi abantu bakaNkulunkulu uqobo—kangangoba sebesonqenqemeni lokona kuNkulunkulu bengaqondi nokuthi kwenzekani kubo. Iningi lenu lilele futhi lisetshenziswa “uhlelo lwamaqembu amabili” lwe-thesis kanye ne-antithesis, elibanjwe phakathi kwemibono emibili ethinteka ngokomzwelo: ukuthatha umuthi wokugoma ukuze kuzuze umphakathi ubuyele esimweni esijwayelekile noma udelele uhulumeni futhi uvukele ukusungulwa. Uqinisekile ukuthi ungenza isinqumo esilungile, uma ubheka izinketho? Noma ingabe isimo sokubamba-22 esidinga indiza ephakeme yokucabanga, ukuze ugweme "ukudlalwa" amandla ahilelekile? Umuntu kufanele aqonde iqhinga lokugwema ukubanjwa kulo!

Iqhinga elifanayo ladlalwa eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, futhi izifundo ziyafundisa kakhulu. Yayihilela umbuzo wabesifazane abaholayo, nayo eyayiyinkinga osukwini luka-Eliya. Kwakuyisimilo esiqinile sikaJezebeli, phela, esabusa u-Ahabi futhi saqhubekisela phambili ukuhlubuka kwaIsrayeli. Emabandleni anamuhla, umbuzo wedlulele ngale kokugcotshwa kwabesifazane ukuba abe umfundisi, ukufaka ukwamukelwa kwe-LGBT njengesinye isimo. ukuthola 501(c)(3) izinzuzo, futhi ngenxa yalokho wonke amasonto avamile leyo ndaba nganoma iyiphi indlela ingene ohlelweni lwe-LGBT, kuhlanganise neSonto Lama-Seventh-day Adventist njengoba kunjalo—ukubamba kokugcina phakathi kwamaProthestani.^[14]

Ngakho, kwenzekani ngo-July 8, eminyakeni emihlanu edlule? Sizofika kulokho, kodwa okokuqala isizinda esithile: IBandla lama-Adventist livamise ukubamba iziNgqungquthela zalo eziKhulu kanye njalo eminyakeni emihlanu. Njengomongameli ohlezi, isikhathi sika-Ted Wilson saqala ngo-2010 GC Session e-Atlanta, GA, okwakuwunyaka ofanayo lapho isigijimi se-Orion siqala, njengesixwayiso sokugcina sikaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, okokuqala kuqondiswe ikakhulukazi kulelo bandla.^[15] Bese, iminyaka emihlanu kumlayezo kwafika i-GC Session elandelayo e-San Antonio, TX, kanye ne-2015 Carmel Challenge eyayihlelelwe. ngewashi le-Orion ngo-July 8, 2015—okuyinto, njengoba sazi manje, cishe iminyaka emihlanu ngaphambi kokuba inkanyezi enomsila i-NEOWISE ibonakale. Ngakho-ke, esikhundleni senye i-GC Session kanye nomunye umjikelezo wobuholi bezihlubuki, “ukuhlakanipha okusha” kuyabonakala kubantu yonke indawo. Ngakho, inkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE ngokwengxenye iyindlela kaNkulunkulu yokuletha ukunakekela eNseleleni YaseKarmeli, ezophendulwa “ngomlilo ovela ezulwini” maduze nje.

Kodwa okwenzeka eminyakeni emihlanu (umjikelezo owodwa weGC) edlule kwakukhohlisa kakhulu (sizofika kulokho) kangangokuthi uNkulunkulu wayefuna ukunika abantu isikhathi sokuqonda izindaba ezihilelekile futhi babone ngamasu abaholi babo, ngakho wavumela ukubambezeleka kwempendulo yomthandazo ka-Eliya—ukubambezeleka okwaprofethwa ngakho eBhayibhelini.

Ngase ngibona enye ingelosi yenyuka empumalanga, inophawu lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo, yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu ezingelosini ezine ezazinikelwe ukuba zilimaze umhlaba nolwandle: Ningawoni umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi, size sibeke uphawu izinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu emabunzini azo. ( IsAmbulo 7:2-3 )

Ngosuku olufana nse neCarmel Challenge, kwaphasiswa umnqamulajuqu wokuqeda “isivumelwano sase-Iran”. (JCPOA) ukugwema inhlekelele nge-ajenda yenuzi yase-Iran ngaphansi kokuphatha kuka-Obama.^[16] Ngakho-ke, ngendlela ebambekayo, kwakungabonwa nje kuphela ukuthi “umlilo ovela ezulwini” wawulenga emhlabeni wonke njengoSword of Damocles ngezinqumo zokuziphatha ezazenziwa ezindabeni zomshado wobulili obufanayo, kodwa futhi nokuthi ukubambezeleka okungokoqobo nokubonakalayo kwabe sekwenziwa, okuyi-JCPOA, nayo manje eseyahlukana phakathi kokuphela komlilo kanye nokuwohloka komlilo kaNkulunkulu. izwi likaEliya wesimanje.

I-Mind Trick

Ngokwewashi likaNkulunkulu e-Orion, i-Carmel Challenge yangoJulayi 8, 2015 yenzeke ngokukhala kwecilongo lesithupha lesAmbulo. Imifanekiso elandelayo evela ezincwadini zango-2015 ikhombisa lokhu—izithombe zazihloselwe ukukhombisa ukuhlobana nokucwiliswa kuka-Eliya kwe-altare ngemiphongolo emine yamanzi (okuhambisana nezinkanyezi ezine zangaphandle), izikhathi ezintathu (ngaphezu kwemijikelezo emithathu yewashi). Sizobuyela kulo mqondo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngemininingwane eyengeziwe, kodwa okwamanje iphuzu liwukubona ukuthi i-Carmel Challenge yafika kanjani endaweni lapho yonke imiphongolo yamanzi engu-12 isithelwe phansi:

Indlela iwashi elisebenza ngayo, inkanyezi uSaiph iyisiqalo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela amacilongo asekuqaleni (okulungiselela) ayebalwa ngokuhambisana newashi kuzo zonke iziteshi zewashi kusukela kuSaiph. Ngale ndlela, icilongo lesithupha lalihambisana noRigel (njengoba kuboniswe kwesokudla). Ngokusekelwe ekuqondaneni okunembile kwewashi,^[17] lokhu kwawa July 8, 2015, okwakuyisisekelo sesikhathi seNselele yaseKarmeli. Lesi sikhathi sasiyisimangaliso ngokwaso, ngoba sasikhomba usuku oluqondile phakathi neNgqungquthela Jikelele yesonto lapho iBandla lalizoqhuba ivoti elibaluleke kakhulu kuyo yonke iSeshini. Kwakhokhiswa njengevoti lokugcotshwa kwabesifazane, kodwa kwaba iqhinga lobuqili lokukhohlisa iningi labavoti abanogqozi ukuze liguqule ukwakheka kwamandla eBandla—okuyisenzo esasingenziwa kuphela eNhlanganweni Yenkomfa Kawonkewonke ngokwemithetho yedolobha yeBandla.

Ngakho, yonke intshiseko yendikimba yomhlaba wonke yama-Adventist akholelwa eBhayibhelini yasetshenziswa ukuze kubizwe inkosi phezu kwabo, njengasezinsukwini zikaSawule indodana kaKishi, kuyilapho ivoti lingenamphumela maqondana nendaba yokugcotshwa kwabesifazane eyayibaluleke ngempela kubantu. Kungani abaholi benza lokhu? Ngenxa yokuthi ukuze ibambisane nemithetho kahulumeni (nokuvikela izinzuzo zokukhululwa kwentela kukahulumeni), isonto kwadingeka libe nesimiso sokubusa esisezingeni eliphezulu—okuyinto abavoti balo ababengeke bayivotele ngamabomu!

Inkohliso yaleli zinga—ukudonsa uvolo phezu kwamehlo esonto lonke—kuyigalelo eliphansi elinyanyekayo elivela esikhundleni esiphakeme sokuziphatha kangangokuthi alinakuqhathaniswa! Kodwa ukusebenzisa ikhono empumputheni akuphunyuki emehlweni kaSomandla.

Uqalekisiwe odukisa impumputhe endleleni. Bonke abantu bazakuthi: Amen. ( Duteronomi 27:18 )

Futhi lokho kusiletha kulokho okwenzeka ngemva kweminyaka emihlanu—okuyoba izingwadule zabo nje. I-GC Session ka-2020 kwadingeka ikhanselwe ngenxa ye-coronavirus, futhi umcimbi ohlehliselwe kabusha wango-2021 nawo usezindaweni ezihlukene zaphezulu.^[18] Iqiniso lokuthi i-General Conference Session kwadingeka ihlehliswe kakade ukunqoba kuka-Eliya, owaprofetha ukuthi iSeshini ka-2015 izoba ngeyokugcina emlandweni. Kodwa isifundo esibanzi sanamuhla ukuthi iqhinga elifanayo liyenziwa futhi elinye ihhovisi lokuziphatha: iminyango yezempilo yomphakathi.

Nina, bantu, ninentshisekelo yokugoma noma ngokumelene nokugoma okuyimpoqo ngaphandle kokuqaphela ukuthi ukubhujiswa kwenu kwenziwa ngendlela ehluke ngokuphelele kunombuzo wokugoma, njengasesibonelweni esidabukisayo sebandla! Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wenzani, uku-catch-22! Ibandla laholelwa ekubeni likuphike ukuhola kukaMoya oNgcwele, okwakuzoqinisekiswa ngokubusa kwalo okusuka phansi kuya phezulu, esikhundleni salokho bavotela amandla obukhosi, futhi ekugcineni akuzange kube noshintsho endleleni yebandla mayelana nodaba lokugcotshwa kwabesifazane ngenxa yevoti. Labo ababemelene nalo ngenxa yokuthi babemi esisekelweni esingokweBhayibheli abazange basizwe, futhi labo ababevumelana nalo babengengcono kakhulu ngokuvotela “okumelene” namandla obukhosi. BONKE baholelwa ukuba baphike uNkulunkulu, ngandlela thize noma enye! Okuwukuphela kwenkambo efanele kwakuwuku SHIYA IBANDLA ekuphenduleni imikhuba enjalo engahlangene nhlobo nobungcwele kanye nokumesaba uNkulunkulu nganoma iyiphi indlela, isimo, noma isimo. (Sekuwukuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu kakade ukuba ibandla lize licabange ukuthi lingavota odabeni olunjengokugcotshwa kwabesifazane, okuyintando kaNkulunkulu kakade ivezwe ngokucacile eBhayibhelini.)

Ngokunjalo nasodabeni lokugoma kunezinhlangothi ezimbili. Labo abafisa ukubuyela esimweni esijwayelekile bazowuthola umgomo ukuze bakwazi BUYELA EMASONTWENI ABO (lapho igciwane kuthiwa lasakazeka khona kwasekuqaleni). Akukhona nje ukuthi lokhu kuphambene nobizo lukaJesu Phuma yaseBhabhiloni, kodwa lawa ngamabandla afanayo athobela imithetho ye-LGBT yokungabandlululi^[19] ukuze balondoloze isimo sabo sokungenzi nzuzo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela umgomo wokugoma, ikamu elisekela ibandla lizoqhubeka nokunikela okweshumi neminikelo yabo ukuze basekele ibandla elivuna lokho uNkulunkulu akubiza ngokuthi isinengiso. Akukuhle.

Kodwa labo abakhathazeke ngokufanele ngokungcolisa ithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele banquma ngobuqotho ukugwema ukugoma, kodwa inkinga iwukuthi amasonto nemigudu enethonya ifundisa ukuthi umgomo uwuphawu lwesilo, okungelona!^[20] Sicela ube nokunengqondo esifundweni sakho seBhayibheli: kusukela nini imithi yokugoma isetshenziswa ebunzini noma esandleni? Phakathi naleso sikhathi, into okuyiyo ngempela uphawu lwesilwane akukhulunywa ngakho futhi kugcinwe phambi kwabantu—ngakho kusuke kungabonakali, kusuke engqondweni, futhi lokhu kuzoholela ekutheni ukwamukela uphawu lwesilo ngenkathi wenqaba umgomo. Futhi, Akukuhle!

Impi kamoya kufanele ilwe ngezikhali zomoya. Ukuze ulwe nalezi zinhlobo zamaqhinga avimbela umuntu ukuba akhethe okuncane kokubi okubili, umuntu udinga ukuba seqophelweni eliphezulu lokuziphatha—futhi ngenxa yalokho, siwudinga kakhulu umqondo kaJesu. Kudingeka siqonde ukuthi yini emcasulayo nokuthi yini engeyinhle. Wafakwa ekhoneni naye, nguJudasi, ongamnikanga ukukhetha okuhle: noma Wayengasebenzisa amandla Akhe ukuze azikhulule—okwakuyoba isenzo sobugovu kanye nokunqoba okuphelele kukaSathane—noma avumele umzimba Wakhe—hhayi nje ithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele, kodwa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu—ukuba ungcoliswe, udwengulwe, wonakaliswe futhi ubhujiswe ngokungenakulungiseka (ukuba bekungengenxa yovuko). Cabanga ngalokhu: uma amaRoma ayesebenzisa umjovo obulalayo esikhundleni sokubethelwa, uJesu wayeyobe ekulungele ukuwamukela ngokufanayo nje umphumela wezono zethu phezu Kwakhe. Ingabe lokhu akugomi ngendlela ehlukile?

Ukufuna ukusindisa ukuphila komuntu kuwubugovu, futhi ubugovu akunandawo embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

Yilowo nalowo ofuna ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho; njalo loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe uzayilondoloza. ( Luka 17:33 )

Uma abantu ababi bekwenza okubi ngokuzenzisa, ungaphumuza isiqiniseko sokuthi bamlimaza noJesu, futhi bayovuzwa ngokufanelekile ngesikhathi esifanele, kodwa ukufuna ukusindisa ukuphila komuntu akuyona indlela kaKristu. Kunalokho, kungaba ngcono ukuhoxa kulesi simiso—njengoba uJesu enza—futhi siqale esingcono ngokuziphatha okuphakeme. SHIYA EMASONTWENI^[21] kanye nenkulumo-ze yabo yokugoma ngokuphelele futhi baqale amaqembu okufunda asekhaya noma aku-inthanethi ukuze ufune ukuhlakanipha okusha okuvela kuNkulunkulu futhi ushiye isivikelo sempilo yakho Kuye. Vele, ngokwemvelo umuntu kufanele aqaphele ukuthi yini efakwe emizimbeni yakhe, futhi umuthi wokugomela i-COVID-19 ungase uphathwe njengoshevu, kodwa uma ufika ngamandla, ungaphuli okuthi “Ungabulali” ukuze uvikele impilo yakho yomuntu siqu, isibonelo! (UPetru wakhuzwa ngokusika indlebe yomphikisi kaJesu.) Hlala ngaphansi kwerada ukuze ugweme umgomo nganoma iyiphi indlela kuwe, kodwa thatha ukuma kwakho kulokho okubaluleke kakhulu kuNkulunkulu: umthetho wakhe, iMithetho Eyishumi!^[22]

Umhlatshelo uyingxenye edingekayo yempilo yobuKristu. Ukuze agweme ukubhujiswa kwemiphefumulo, umKristu kumelwe ahlale ekulungele ukuzidela ngenxa yabanye, njengoba uJesu nabo bonke abaphostoli abangcwele bafundisa ngesibonelo eTestamenteni Elisha. Izincwadi zeTestamente Elisha zivame ukweluleka abangcwele ukuba balalele amandla ombuso ngangokunokwenzeka ngaphandle kokwephula umthetho kaNkulunkulu, ngakho ukuziphatha kwabo okungenasici kwakuyoba ubufakazi obufanele ngoKristu. Kungumsebenzi wawo wonke umKristu ukuphila ubufakazi obunjalo, futhi ngokwenza kanjalo afinyelele abalahlekile ngomlayezo wensindiso ukuze kungabikho noyedwa umphefumulo ophuthelwayo obengaphendukela ekulungeni.

Ukubambezeleka kanye ne-altare

Ngokwesiprofetho, icilongo lesithupha (lapho kwenziwa inselelo ka-Elija) liyingqayizivele ngoba lihlanganisa ukubambezeleka okuqondile esikhathini esinqunyiwe sokugcwaliseka kwalo, okusho ukuthi umlilo nesibabule sika-Eliya wanamuhla kwakufanele kube nenkathi yesikhathi phakathi kwesixwayiso nokwahlulela (ngokungafani novivinyo losuku olufanayo luka-Eliya womlando).

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

Lokhu sekuvele kuchaza ukuthi kungani umlilo ungazange udle i-General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist ngenkathi bevota e-Alamodome ngo-2015.^[23] noma kungani umlilo ungazange line eNkantolo Ephakeme yase-United States lapho abahluleli bememezela isinqumo sabo sokuvikela umshado wobulili obufanayo—futhi ngokuqonda okuncane, kuyachaza futhi. nini umlilo wawuzobaqeda: ngehora elithile, ngenyanga ethile, ngosuku oluthile, lonyaka othile.

Esinye sezifundo ezibaluleke kakhulu nezibalulekile uNkulunkulu azifundise abantu Bakhe ezikhathini... ukubekezela. Nakuba ebonakala ede ekugcwaliseni izithembiso Zakhe, kufanele sizixake futhi sihlenge isikhathi ngokufunda kanye nokufunda kabusha iZwi Lakhe nokwabelana nabanye ngokukhanya Kwakhe abasebumnyameni. Ngale ndlela, umuntu uyakhula ekwazini uNkulunkulu nokumqonda ngokwengeziwe, kuyilapho isikhathi sokugcwaliseka kwezithembiso Zakhe sisondela.

Cabanga, ngokwesibonelo, ngesithembiso sokuqala soMsindisi ozayo:

Ngiyakubeka ubutha phakathi kwakho nowesifazane, naphakathi kwenzalo yakho nenzalo yakhe; yona iyakuchoboza ikhanda lakho, wena uyakulimaza isithende sayo. ( Genesise 3:15 )

Isithembiso sokunqoba koMsindisi ekuchobozeni ikhanda lenyoka sesizofika ekugcwalisekeni kwaso okuphelele njengoba kuchazwe encwadini. Ukubhula Kwasehlobo. Kodwa cabanga ngakho: lokho sekuyisikhathi eside silindile ngo-Eva! Lapho ekhulelwe izibulo lakhe, wamangala ngenzalo ayeyithwele esiswini sakhe, futhi ngokuqinisekile wayecabanga ngesithembiso sikaJehova lapho ebeletha izibulo lakhe.^[24]

U-Adamu wamazi u-Eva umkakhe; wakhulelwa, wazala uKayini; wathi, Ngithole indoda kwa Nkosi. (UGenesise 4: 1)

Cabanga nje ukudumala kwakhe lapho iminyaka idlula futhi le ngane okwakuthiwa yesithembiso ikhula yaba umbulali wokuqala! Ngesikhathi esifanayo, washonelwa indodana yakhe ethembekile, u-Abela, eyayingaseyona indoda ephilayo yokuba inzalo ethenjisiwe.

Kodwa ingabe wayeka? Cha, walungisa ukuqonda kwakhe iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi waveza ukuthi uMsindisi kwakumelwe avele kuNkulunkulu njengeMbambeli ukuze afeze ukubuyisana u-Abela ayengeke ngokuqinisekile ngenxa yokuthi wafa.

U-Adamu wabuye wamazi umkakhe; wazala indodana; waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uSeti. KuNkulunkulu, wathi, ungimisele enye inzalo esikhundleni sika-Abela; owabulawa nguKayini. ( Genesise 4:25 )

Ngale ndlela, icebo lensindiso laqhubeka amakhulu eminyaka ngesikhathi abantu bakaNkulunkulu befuna ngokucophelela uMsindisi ozayo, befunda wonke amazwi aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu. Ngaleso sikhathi, abalingiswa ngabanye babecwengisiswa umzamo wokuqonda iqiniso.

Lokhu kube okuhlangenwe nakho kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu kuze kube namuhla lapho ulwazi lwezwi likaNkulunkulu selukhule ngendlela emangalisayo.^[25] Njengoba uNkulunkulu ehola, iqiniso lembuleka ngendlela eyandisa futhi inothisa ulwazi lwangaphambili, njengoba nje nomqondo ka-Eva Wokuthatha Indawo wanda ekuqondeni kwakhe iqiniso lokuthi inzalo yakhe yayizonqoba inyoka. Isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu asizange sibe yize, kodwa icebo Lakhe labonakala likhula.

Kunjalo nangokuhlangenwe nakho kuka “Eliya” wanamuhla. Umzamo wokwemba iqiniso elisezwini likaNkulunkulu kanye nezindleko zokulinikeza abanye abangalifuni, usebenzela ukucwenga isimilo. Konke ukubambezeleka, konke ukugxeka, konke ukungabaza kuguqulwa kube yithuba lokufunda kabusha nokucwenga umzimba weqiniso lamanje elizuzwe kanzima. Lena yindlela “u-Eliya” wanamuhla alakha ngayo kabusha i-altare leNkosi, ngokomfanekiso. Yonke iwashi lewashi lengeza umlando walo nomuzwa kowangaphambi kwalo.

Amatshe ayishumi nambili ezizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli, u-Eliya akha ngawo kabusha i-altare, amelela isivumelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu Bakhe. Sibonile ukuthi ubunjani umphongolo wesivumelwano zembulwe ezulwini nezibhebhe zombili zesivumelwano zabekwa phezu kombukiso. Lokhu kusho ukuthi incazelo ye-altare lika-Eliya kusukela ngo-2015 futhi yachaza futhi ngo-2020 ngo-XNUMX. Isikhathi Asisekho izuza ukubaluleka okukhulu kakhulu namuhla.

Nakuba u-Eliya eBhayibhelini ayelilungisile i-altare lomhlatshelo, ukuhlotshaniswa nophawu lomphongolo wesivumelwano namuhla kubonisa ukuthi singase sisebenzelana ne-altare lempepho elalisemnyango weNdawo Engcwelengcwele. Yilapho iphunga lemithandazo yabangcwele likhuphuka ngokomfanekiso emsini onuka kamnandi ogcwalisa iNdawo Engcwele “njengephunga elimnandi” eNkosini. Ingabe umthandazo ka-Eliya wanamuhla uzwakele?

Ngemva kokwakha kabusha i-altare, u-Eliya wabeka izinkuni nomhlatshelo phezu kwalo, okwakufanekisela isiphambano nomhlatshelo kaJesu. Ngokuvamile lokhu kufanekiselwa iwashi ngemigqa yesihlalo sobukhosi (ebomvu) leso “siphambano” enkabeni lapho u-Alnitak (Lowo owalinyazwa) emelela uMhlatshelo omkhulu ogazi lawo elihlambululayo lachithwa siseyizoni.^[26]

Wazihlela izinkuni, wayihlahlela inkunzi, wayibeka phezu kwezinkuni, wathi: Gcwalisa amanzi emiphongolweni emine, uwuthele emnikelweni wokushiswa, naphezu kwezinkuni. (Amakhosi we-1 18: 33)

Imiphongolo yamanzi eyayithelwa emhlatshelweni ifanekisela nakakhulu ukuhamba kwesikhathi ngokulandelana okuqondile.

Futhi wathi; Kwenze okwesibili. Bakwenza ngokwesibili. Wathi, Kwenze okwesithathu. Bakwenza okwesithathu. Amanzi agobhoza ngase-altare nxazonke; wagcwalisa nomsele ngamanzi. ( 1 AmaKhosi 18:34-35 )

Kwathelwa imiphongolo emine, kwalandela eminye emine, kwalandela eminye emine—futhi yonke yayixhunywe nomsele ozungeze i-altare, njengokulandelana kwemijikelezo yamawashi amathathu. Inqubo yaqedwa lapho amanzi, njengesikhathi, enyakaza iwashi ngalinye lendilinga yewashi emithathu.

Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi lokhu kulandelana kwemiphongolo emine yamanzi athululwe izikhathi ezintathu ezihlukene akuchazi imijikelezo emithathu yewashi, kodwa iqiniso lokuthi amanzi agelezela emgwaqeni. esifanayo umsele isikhathi ngasinye wenza lokhu kube ukugcwaliseka okuphelele. Umsele wawune-a isilinganiso esithile lokho kusebenza kuyo yomithathu imijikelezo ehilelekile.

…futhi wenza umsele ngase-altare, likhulu njengoba lingaqukatha izilinganiso ezimbili zembewu. (Funda eyoku-1 AmaKhosi 18:32.)

Yomithathu imijikelezo yabelana “ngomsele” ofanayo olinganisa izinsuku ezingama-259 nxazonke. Lo msele mkhulu ngokwanele ukuba ungaqukatha izilinganiso ezimbili zembewu—njengokolweni. Uma leyo mbewu kakolweni ibigaywa ibe ufulawa wokwenza isinkwa, yayingaba izingxenye ezimbili. Ngakho-ke, i-trench ibhekisela ku- izingxenye ezimbili zomoya ka-Eliya, okuyinto “u-Elisha”, i-144,000, azoyidinga emjikelezweni wokugcina wewashi. Lokhu kuphinde kubhekise enzalweni yebandla, eyigazi labafel’ ukholo. Kusenomsebenzi okufanele wenziwe ngemva kwezenzakalo zaseNtabeni iKarmeli!

Umthandazo Ka-Eliya Nempendulo Yawo

Esinye sezici eziningi zomsebenzi ka-Eliya wokugcina kube ukucacisa ulimi lukaNkulunkulu lwasezulwini eziprofethweni zeBhayibheli. Uchungechunge lonke lwamavidiyo luyatholakala, anesihloko Izibonakaliso zika-Eliya, echaza izimiso zeBhayibheli eziyisisekelo zokuqonda izimpawu zasezulwini lapho livela khona emBhalweni (enye yamaphuzu ayisihluthulelo ahlukanisa isayensi yezinkanyezi yaseBhayibhelini nesayensi yezinkanyezi yamaqaba).

Isibonelo, iVenus (Inkanyezi Ekhanyayo Neyokusa efanekisela uJesu^[27]) ingamelela uMhlatshelo etafuleni le-altare emlaza weTaurus kusukela ngo-July 4 kuya ku-July 10. Kulelo windi elifushane, inkanyezi enomsila i-NEOWISE yabonakala ngaso kanye unyaka weNselele yokuqala ka-Eliya yaseKarmeli.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, inyanga isemlaza ka-Aquarius, othela amanzi akhe njengamanzi u-Eliya ayewathele e-altare. Ilanga liseweleni laphezulu (uPollux) likaGemini, elimelela uJesu Kristu njengeNkosi—futhi lisendaweni yesikela (kuyilapho iMercury iseweleni eliguqayo). Ilanga lingafanekisela umlilo ovela ezulwini oqede umhlatshelo e-altare namatshe ayishumi nambili. Ngakho-ke, amazulu apenda isikhumbuzo esicacile saso sonke isimo somhlatshelo ka-Eliya ngoJulayi 8, 2020, okuwusuku lwesikhumbuzo seCarmel Challenge.

Kodwa uma uJesu emelelwa umhlatshelo e-altare, angaba kanjani iNkosi ephethe isikela esandleni ngesikhathi esifanayo? Ngokusobala, umhlatshelo ose-altare ufanekisela umhlatshelo ophelele owanikelwa kanye kuphela ngenxa yesono. Ngakho, iwele elinesikela esandleni limelela uJesu ophilayo, owayala ukuba kubulawe uHezekeli 9 njengoba kwakumboziwe ngaphambili, okuhambisana nokubulawa kwabapristi bakaBali no-Ashera endabeni ka-Eliya.

Ngokuhlakanipha Kwakhe okukhulu, uNkulunkulu wayazi kusengaphambili ukuthi ibandla laliyongena ekuhlubukeni okuphelele ekupheleni kwesikhathi, nokuthi kwakuzodingeka isu lokubuyisela. Kwesinye isikhathi sibhekisela kulokhu ngokwesimo "Sohlelo A" kanye nesimo "soHlelo B". EZwini Lakhe, uNkulunkulu uvumela noma yini engenzeka futhi unikeza wonke amathuba ngesintu okubonisa ukholo, ukuphenduka, nokuguqula inkambo yomlando nesiprofetho.

Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu wathumela u-Eliya wanamuhla ukuba azophonsela ibandla inselelo ngo-July 8, 2015 esimweni esithi “Plan A”, futhi ukube abantu bakaNkulunkulu babefaneleka ukubhekana nenselele, unyaka, inyanga, usuku, nehora lecilongo lesithupha kwakuyobe kugcwaliseke ngokuphelele, njengoba nje iphayona lamaSeventh-day Adventist uJosiah Litch lalichaza ngezinsuku ezingu-360 zomprofethi uJosiah Litch. Izinsuku ezingama-30 ngenyanga + usuku olu-1 + ihora elingu-1 = izinsuku ezingama-391 (nehora elilodwa), okungaqondwa njengesikhathi esingokoqobo salabo okufikelwe ukuphela kwezwe.

Manje ukukuhlanganisa, sibala kusukela ngedethi ye-Carmel Challenge emakelwe July 8, 2015 njengoba icilongo lesithupha ewashini, umlilo wawuyobe wehlile uvela ezulwini Izinsuku ezingu-391 kamuva ngo-Agasti 1, 2016—usuku oluqondile lwesithupha isifo!

Lokhu kubonisa indlela amawashi ahambisana ngayo neBhayibheli nokuthi icilongo lesithupha liyisixwayiso esithuthukisiwe ngempela—kodwa kamuva—ihora, usuku, inyanga, nonyaka lapho imiphumela yako esabekayo iyoba khona.

“Ngohlelo B,” nokho, uNkulunkulu kwadingeka abuyisele abantu Bakhe “emuva ngesikhathi” ukuze alungise umnyombo wenkinga eyaqala eminyakeni eminingi edlule kwenye iNgqungquthela Jikelele eyayinedumela elibi: i Minneapolis 1888 Iseshini. Nakuba lokhu kuhilela umlando wama-Adventist futhi, udaba olufanayo lukhona yonke indawo namuhla kuyo yonke imibuthano yobuKristu ngendlela yokungqubuzana phakathi kwe-OSAS nalabo abaqonda ukuthi umKristu kufanele alalele imithetho kaNkulunkulu (nomuntu). Kumayelana nombuzo wokuthi “ukulunga ngokukholwa” kusho ukuthini ngempela! Ukuze kuqedwe ukuhlubuka okukhona namuhla, umuntu kufanele abuyele emuva emsukeni wenkinga, ‘aphinde azame.

Mayelana nengqungquthela yaseMinneapolis, kwathiwa:

UNkulunkulu wayeqonde ukuthi abalindi kufanele basukume futhi ngamazwi abumbene bathumele umlayezo onqunyiwe, enikeza icilongo umsindo othile, ukuze bonke abantu baphuthume endaweni yabo yomsebenzi futhi benze ingxenye yabo emsebenzini omkhulu. Khona-ke ukukhanya okunamandla, okukhanyayo kwalenye ingelosi eyehla ezulwini inamandla amakhulu, kwakuyogcwalisa umhlaba ngenkazimulo yayo. Sisasele ngeminyaka; futhi labo ababema ebumpumputheni futhi bavimbela ukuqhubekela phambili kwawona kanye umyalezo uNkulunkulu ayewusho ukuthi kufanele baphume emhlanganweni waseMinneapholi njengesibani esivuthayo, banesidingo sokuthobeka izinhliziyo zabo phambi kukaNkulunkulu futhi babone futhi baqonde ukuthi umsebenzi uye wavinjwa kanjani ubumpumputhe babo bengqondo nobulukhuni benhliziyo. {14MR 111.1}

Ukuthi lesi senzo sokuhamba isikhathi safezwa kanjani ukuze sibuyele ngokomfanekiso kuleyo ngqungquthela indaba yokuvula iwebhusayithi ye-WhiteCloudFarm, indaba ye umhlatshelo wasePhiladelphia. Kafushane, “u-Eliya” wenza noNkulunkulu umsebenzi owafeza wokubuyisela isikhathi emuva, ngomqondo othile, owaphumela emijikelezweni ye-Orion ephambene newashi ebilokhu ifundwa kusukela ngaleso sikhathi.^[28]

Uhambo olubuyela emuva lwaluhilela omunye umjikelezo wecilongo, manje othi “Plan B,” owaqinisekisa kabusha Inselele YeKarmeli ngesexwayiso ngosuku olusha lwecilongo lesithupha langomhla zi-3 Juni 2018. Kube khona uphawu lomhlaba olunamandla ngendlela emangalisayo ngalolo suku kangangokuthi kwathatha izihloko ezimbalwa.^[29] ukuze adlulisele ubukhulu besigijimi, esingazange sime kodwa senyukela esibonakalisweni esikhulu nesimangalisayo sezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina.^[30]

Ngokwesibonelo, iBhayibheli lihlobanisa umthandazo ka-Eliya nomhlatshelo wakusihlwa:

Futhi kwenzeka ngesikhathi sokunikela komnikelo wakusihlwa, ukuthi u-Eliya umprofethi wasondela, wathi: Nkosi Nkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, no-Isaka, no-Israyeli, makwazeke namuhla ukuthi wena unguNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli, nokuthi mina ngiyinceku yakho, nokuthi ngenzile zonke lezi zinto ngezwi lakho. ( 1 AmaKhosi 18:36 )

Lesi sikhathi somhlatshelo siqinisekiswe ngokumangalisayo ukuqhuma kwe Volcán de Fuego^[31] ngalo kanye lelo hora ngewashi lapho icilongo lesithupha lifika ngomjikelezo omkhulu wecilongo. Ngaleso sikhathi, ukuhlobana phakathi kwemijikelezo yewashi ehlukahlukene kwakungaqondwa ngokugcwele, kodwa kwakusobala ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayekhuluma ngezenzakalo ezihlobene nesiprofetho esifanayo secilongo lesithupha. Ukunyamalala kwesigodi sonke okuthiwa Igazi likaKristu (Igazi likaKristu) lasebenza njengomfanekiso ocacile womhlatshelo oshisiwe owanikelwa u-Eliya eNtabeni iKarmeli kanye nesilinganiso uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngaso namuhla. Siphila esigodini sembulunga yonke, futhi uNkulunkulu ulwa nezwe lonke ngenxa yesono salo kanye nezwe lobuKristu ngenxa yokuhlubuka kwalo, futhi umlilo nesibabule salokho kuqhuma umele umlilo ongacimeki ogcinelwe uSathane nezingelosi zakhe nabo bonke abaye benqaba insindiso kaNkulunkulu.

Khona-ke, ngokunengqondo, icilongo elisha lesithupha kufanele likhombe inhlupho yesithupha entsha, njengokuthi izinsuku ezingu-391 zabonisa kanjani ubuhlobo emijikelezweni yokulungiselela, akunjalo? Isithombe esilandelayo sibonisa (qaphela indlela iwashi elihamba ngayo ngokuphambene newashi, ngokuphambene necala elithi “Plan A”):

Ngaphandle kweqiniso lokuthi asikho isikhungo sezindaba emhlabeni wonke esibike umlilo ovela ezulwini ngo-April 4, 2019, sekukhona ubunzima bokuthi ngokungafani nanoma yimuphi omunye umjikelezo wangaphambili wewashi le-Orion, umjikelezo wesifo uqhubeka ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka ngesikhathi esifanayo umzuliswano ongaphezu kowodwa, futhi singakwazi kanjani ukuthi yimuphi kule mizuliswano isixwayiso secilongo lesithupha esikhomba ngempela? “Amahora” amathathu esAmbulo 18 ahilelekile lapha njengoba kuchazwe ku Ihora Lokuphunyuka, kodwa iyiphi kulawo “mahora” okushiwo?

Isixazululo kufanele sibe sobala ngokususelwe emfanekisweni we-altare lika-Eliya elimbozwe ekuqaleni: kufanele likhombe usuku wesithathu nxazonke, NGEMVA kokulungiswa kwe-altare futhi NGEMVA kwawo wonke amabhakede amane athululwe kathathu. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho u-Eliya aguqa khona futhi wathandazela uNkulunkulu ukuba abuyisele abantu baKhe kuYe ngesibonakaliso somlilo ovela esibhakabhakeni. Uma sikhuluma iqiniso, lokhu kuzofanelana nesikhathi esithile ngaphambi kophawu lweBetelgeuse, lapho yomine “imiphongolo” isigeqekile (lapho inkanyezi enomsila i-NEOWISE iqala ukufika endaweni yesehlakalo). Kungenzeka yini lokhu kusenesikhathi?

Abaprofethi abaningi be-YouTube^[32] bebekhuluma ngesenzakalo esingaba khona sokuhlwithwa—okungase futhi siqondane nomlilo ka-Eliya—futhi beluleka ababukeli babo ukuba babuke zonke izinsuku ezithakazelisayo ngoJulayi (isib. umphongolo wesivumelwano). Kulabo abalalelisisayo, akubuzwa ukuthi siphila ezikhathini zesiprofetho, kodwa inselele ukwazi ukuthi yini okufanele uyibheke nendlela yokuhamba kulezi zikhathi.

Kodwa ngokulandela umqondo ofanayo nowasebudlelwaneni bokulungiselela becilongo/inhlupho, icilongo lesithupha liyokhomba ngisho sekwephuzile njengesiteshi somugqa wesihlalo sobukhosi. Septhemba 3–6, 2020, okuphinde kube ukuphela kophawu lwesivumelwano futhi ngaleyo ndlela iphuzu okungenzeka ukuthi u-Eliya kufanele aqinisekiswe ngaso.

Eqinisweni, izenzo okumelwe zenziwe ngokuphathelene nealtare lempepho zinikeza ubufakazi obengeziwe balokhu. NgokweMishnah, ngoSuku Lokubuyisana umpristi omkhulu wayebeka amalahle e-altare endaweni ethile:

Lapho efika eMphongolweni wabeka ipani lamalahle avuthayo phakathi kwezinti ezimbili. Wanqwabela impepho phezu kwamalahle yagcwala intuthu indlu yonke.^[33]

Njengoba kubonakala ophawini lomphongolo wesivumelwano, izingongolo zimelelwa izinhlu zezihlalo zobukhosi. Ngakho, “umlilo” ka-Eliya (noma “amalahle” kaHezekeli) kufanele ubekwe “phakathi kwezigxobo ezimbili,” noma phakathi kuka-September 3 no-September 6, 2020, ozohamba ngo-September 4 noma 5.

Ukugcwaliswa kwendlu ngomusi kuwuphawu olubalulekile, ngoba isAmbulo sihlobanisa leliphuzu nezinhlupho:

Nethempeli lalinjalo egcwele intuthu enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu nasemandleni akhe; futhi kwakungekho muntu owayengangena ethempelini, zize zigcwaliseke izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zezingelosi eziyisikhombisa. ( IsAmbulo 15:8 )

Leli vesi liza ngokushesha ngaphambi kokuthululwa kwezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, okusho ukuthi noma yiluphi uhlobo lomlilo iziprofetho ezikhuluma ngalo, izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina ziyothululwa futhi emandleni naseNkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu. Sizibonile izexwayiso ziba namandla futhi ziqina futhi izinkinga zomhlaba ziya zijula ​​futhi zibe zimbi kakhulu, kodwa ekugcineni izimpawu eziyisixwayiso zinqotshwa imiphumela yangempela.

Kulapho umuthi wokugomela i-coronavirus kulindeleke ukuthi ube khona,^[34] kanti okwamanje “igagasi lesibili” liyeza. Kuzoba kubi kakhulu,^[35] hhayi ngokwezinga lokufa kuphela, kodwa ngokwezimpendulo zeziphathimandla, ezizosebenzisa izinyathelo ezeqisayo ukulwa nenkinga lapho kubhekene nezinye izinkinga eziningi. Ezinye izindawo zomhlaba sezivele ziyabila ngenxa yempi.^[36] Imali izophela, nokudla kuzoshabalala. Ngokusho kukaByron Searle,^[37] lendlala, njengendlala yaseGibhithe, izoqala ngemva “kwamasonto ayisikhombisa” (esikhundleni seminyaka eyisikhombisa ngesikhathi sikaJosefa). Awunawo amasonto ayisishiyagalombili kusukela manje—ayisikhombisa nje kuphela—futhi uma uwabala ekhalendeni lakho, uzofika ezihlalweni zobukhosi zikaSepthemba 3–6 ewashini le-Orion lapho indlala izoqala khona. Mhlawumbe umlilo ka-Eliya uzoshisa zonke izimakethe zezimali futhi wehlise ingcebo yomhlaba ngobusuku obubodwa!?

Manje nina madoda anothileyo, khalani nikhale ngosizi oluzonehlela. ( Jakobe 5:1 )

Nokho, ngaso sonke isikhathi sobukhulu uNkulunkulu unecebo ngabantu bakhe, futhi njengoba nje uJosefa achitha iminyaka eyisikhombisa eqoqa ukudla kwendlala, uNkulunkulu ukuhlinzekwa ngokomoya nangokwenyama kubantu baKhe namuhla.

Ngisho nalokhu kuyingxenye yendaba yenkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE, okuthi (nakuba ingabonakali) izofika ezinyaweni zeVirgo ngaleso sikhathi.

Ekhalela uTamuzi

Esinye isibonakaliso sokuthi ukugcwaliseka kwenselele ka-Eliya kumelwe ngokunokwenzeka kufike ngosuku olungemva kuka-September 3–6 yiqiniso lokuthi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, umlilo owawuse-altare wawunikeza ubufakazi bokuthi uNkulunkulu ka-Eliya wayenguNkulunkulu weqiniso, ngakho-ke u-Eliya wayengabulala abaprofethi bakaBali no-Ashera. Isihloko esandulele sachaza ukuthi “ihora” elithile laliyoqala ezihlalweni zobukhosi zikaSepthemba 3–6, 2020, lapho izingelosi ezibulalayo zikaHezekeli zizoqala umsebenzi wazo, futhi endabeni ka-Eliya, lokhu kwakuyohambisana nokubulawa kwabapristi bakaBhali ngemva kwesibonakaliso esivela kuNkulunkulu.

Lokhu kuletha umbono omusha “ukukhalela uTamuzi” njengesinye sezinengiso ezaholela ekubulaweni kukaHezekeli 9:

Wayesengiyisa ngasemnyango wesango likaJehova Nkosiindlu kaJehova eyayisenyakatho; bheka, kwakuhlezi abesifazane belilela uTamuzi. Wayesethi kimi: “Uyakubona lokhu wena ndodana yomuntu na? uyakubuye ubone izinengiso ezinkulu kunalezi. ( Hezekeli 8:14-15 )

Lesi bekungesona isinengiso sokugcina ukubonakala futhi kufanele size ngokusobala ngaphambi kokuhlatshwa. I-Carmel Challenge ka-2015 yabekwa esimweni sokulethwa komthetho kaNkulunkulu eNtabeni iSinayi ngenxa yesinyathelo sokuvikela umshado wobulili obufanayo kanye nokusungula imithetho ye-LGBT yokubekezelelana nokungabandlululi emhlabeni wonke futhi ikakhulukazi e-United States ngaleso sikhathi. Imithetho enjalo iphambene nomthetho kaNkulunkulu, ochaza umshado ovikelwe emyalweni wesikhombisa njengophakathi kwendoda nowesifazane emyalweni wesihlanu.

Njengoba sibuyekeza lezi zinto namuhla ekukhanyeni ukuthi kuvulwe kanjani umphongolo wesivumelwano nomthetho kaNkulunkulu ezulwini,^[38] kuyacaca ukuthi okuhlangenwe nakho kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngenkathi uMose ehla entabeni yaseSinayi ubuso bakhe bukhazimula, ephethe izibhebhe ezimbili zeMithetho Eyishumi ezandleni zakhe, ngempela ingqikithi efanele. Lena indaba ibandla lomhlaba wonke (“u-Israyeli ongokomoya”) eliphila ngayo manje, njengaku-2015. Umlilo eNtabeni iKarmeli i-athikili ikhulume lokhu emazwini ayo okuvala (kugcizelelwe):

Lwela ngawo wonke amandla akho ukuba phakathi kwezi-144,000; bayonqoba impi yokugcina yoMbusi weqiniso Womhlaba Wonke, ngenxa yothando lwabo oluphelele. Luwuthando lukaJesu lokuzidela nolungenabugovu, olubonakala ebusweni babo njengoba kwenzeka kuMose lapho ehla entabeni yaseSinayi.

Phawula ukugcizelelwa kothando lokuzidela, olubalulekile ukuze sibonakalise ngokugcwele ubuntu bukaJesu. Ubuso bukaMose bakhanya ngoba wayekade ephambi kukaJehova ngokwanele ukuba abonise isimo Sakhe somhlatshelo. Lezi izifundo ezingokomoya ezijulile ezichazwe kwezinye izihloko, njengasochungechungeni oluthi Umhlatshelo waseFiladelphia ngisho nesihloko esikhiphe i I-Carmel Challenge uqobo. KuMose lesi simo somhlatshelo savivinywa lapho ehla eNtabeni iSinayi nezibhebhe zokuqala zamatshe futhi wathola ukuthi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bonakalisa ithole legolide, ngenxa yalokho uMose wahlephula izibhebhe ezimbili zobufakazi.

Lesi siqephu “sethole legolide”, esimele ukukhetha omunye unkulunkulu esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu weqiniso, sifana ngokuphawulekayo nalokho okwenzeka kumaSeventh-day Adventist ngo-2015 lapho avotela isakhiwo samandla obukhosi. Amanye amasonto enza okufanayo, ngokusayina izivumelwano zokubambisana neSonto LamaKatolika, kanjalo enze upapa abe inhloko yawo. Uyakhumbula wonke umoya wokuthakasela uTony Palmer kanye nesinyathelo sakhe sokuqeda ubuProthestani? Kwakumayelana nalokho!

Njengasezinsukwini zikaSamuweli, ukukhetha inkosi kwakuwukwenqaba ukubusa kukaNkulunkulu:

Futhi i Nkosi Wathi kuSamuweli: “Lalela izwi labantu kukho konke abakushoyo kuwe, ngokuba abakulahlanga wena; kodwa bangilahlile mina, ukuze ngingabi yinkosi phezu kwabo. (I-1 Samuel 8: 7)

Ngakho, ngo-July 8, 2015, ibandla lokugcina elikhulu elake labhikishela ukuhlubuka kweRoma lanezela ezonweni zabo zokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu “ngethole labo legolide” ngaso leso sikhathi lapho kwakufanele ngabe bakulungele ukwamukela umthetho kaNkulunkulu—umbhalo wesimo Sakhe somhlatshelo—ukuze (ngamanye amaqiniso) wawungabazuzisa ukuqeda umsebenzi wabo emhlabeni. Babengaqaphela ukuthi umshado ungcwele njengeSabatha nokuthi kwakuyofaneleka ukwenza noma yikuphi ukuzidela okudingekayo—ngisho nokudela isimo sabo 501(c)(3) kanye nezinzuzo ezingokwezimali ezihlobene nawo—ukuze bahlale bevumelana nomthetho kaNkulunkulu.

Kunalokho, bacabanga ukuthi bangahamba umugqa omuhle phakathi kweqiniso namanga. Ukuthatha umgwaqo ophakeme wokuziphatha bekuyoqinisa ibandla ukuthi liphakamise izwi lalo ngokumelene nokuhlubuka kwe-United States yonke ngenxa yesinqumo sayo seNkantolo Ephakeme esenza ukuba ubudoda kube yisono esivikelwe izwe lonke ngo-June 26, 2015, ngaphansi kwamasonto amabili ngaphambili (futhi ngokwesibonelo, i-US yahola amanye amazwe ukuba enze okufanayo). Mhlawumbe amandla abo abengaletha ukuqaphela futhi agweme izahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu, “kulokho okungenzeka ukuthi kwaba khona.” Kunalokho, isizwe siye sadlulela esonweni. kulo nyaka (nasekupheleni kukaJuni) ngodaba lokuhushulwa kwezisu.^[39]

Inhlekelele yesizwe yakwa-Israyeli yokuphulwa kwezibhebhe zamatshe ikhunjulwa ngokwesiko njengenye yezinhlekelele ezinhlanu (ezokuqala ngisho) ezehlela abantu bamaJuda ngosuku lweshumi nesikhombisa lwenyanga kaTamuzi.

Eyeshumi nesikhombisa kaTamuzi usuku lwamaJuda lokuzila ukudla lokukhumbula ukubhodlozwa kwezindonga zaseJerusalema ngaphambi kokubhujiswa kweThempeli Lesibili. Iba ngosuku lwe-17 lwenyanga yesi-4 yesiHeberu kaTamuzi futhi iphawula ukuqala kwenkathi yokulila yamasonto amathathu eholela eTisha B'Av.

Lolu suku lubuye lukhumbule ngokwesiko ukubhujiswa kwezibhebhe ezimbili zeMiyalo Eyishumi nezinye izinhlekelele ezingokomlando ezehlela amaJuda ngosuku olufanayo.

...

Usuku Lweshumi Nesikhombisa lukaTamuzi lwenzeka ezinsukwini ezingamashumi amane emva kweholide lamaJuda likaShavuot. UMose wenyuka eNtabeni iSinayi ngeShavuot wahlala khona izinsuku ezingamashumi amane. Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benza Ithole Legolide ntambama ngosuku lweshumi nesithupha likaTamuzi lapho kwakubonakala sengathi uMose akehli lapho ethenjisiwe. UMose wehla ngosuku olulandelayo (izinsuku ezingamashumi amane ngokubala kwakhe), wabona ukuthi ama-Israyeli ayephula imithetho eminingi ayeyamukele kuNkulunkulu, waziphihliza izibhebhe.^[40]

Lolu suku lokulila, noma “lokukhala” lwenyanga “kaTamuzi” lusikhumbuza isiprofetho esishiwo ngenhla:

Wayesengiyisa ngasemnyango wesango likaJehova Nkosiindlu kaJehova eyayisenyakatho; futhi, bheka, kwakuhlezi abesifazane ekhalela uTamuzi. Wayesethi kimi: “Uyakubona lokhu wena ndodana yomuntu na? phenduka futhi, uyakubona izinengiso ezinkulu kunalezi. ( Hezekeli 8:14-15 )

Ngewashi likaNkulunkulu leli vesi lixhumanisa isinengiso esisendlini yeNkosi nokubuyela kwamabandla ebuholini bamaRoma (ngisho namaJesuit) ngaphansi kukaPapa uFrancis. Lokhu kuhlubuka, uNkulunkulu akubiza ngokuthi yisinengiso, kuthinta wonke amabandla ngisho nomhlaba wonke, njengoba nje ukusuka kuka-Israyeli kuNkulunkulu kwakuyocima ukuKhanya kokuphila emhlabeni wonke, ukuba yayingekho insali.

Lokhu kuhlotshaniswa noHezekeli kunencazelo ebalulekile ngoba kunikeza isikhathi nezizathu zokuthi kungani kamuva izingelosi ezinezikhali zokuhlaba ziyalwa ukuba zishaye emzini. Kungenxa yezenzo ezimbi nezinqumo ezathathwa ngamabandla ngo-2014 no-2015 ukuthi maduze nje uNkulunkulu uzohambela amabandla nesizwe ngomlilo. Futhi kusho ukuthi ukubulawa kusondele impela ekuqaleni, njengoba kuchazwe ku Ihora Lokuphunyuka.

AmaSabatha aphezulu ayakwazi ukubala ukuthi usuku oluthile ekhalendeni leBhayibheli lufika nini, ngoba afunda ukuvikela ukholo lwawo ngokufakazela lokho. UJesu wafa ngoLwesihlanu, May 25 ngo-AD 31. Uma ungakwazi ukwenza lokhu, ungaqiniseka kanjani-ke ukuthi wafela izono zakho nhlobo? Ziningi izinkolelo-mbono ezingamanga neziphikisanayo mayelana nokuthi uKristu wafa nini, kodwa uma kungenakufakazelwa ngaphandle kokungabaza ngokobufakazi beBhayibheli, pho siqine kangakanani isisekelo sokukholwa komuntu? Umhlatshelo wakhe omkhulu kumelwe ube umthombo wokholo oluphilayo, futhi lokho kuwumnyombo wobizo luka-Eliya kuNkulunkulu. futhi sibuyele eNkosini yethu eyasifela, njengoba kufanekiselwa umhlatshelo e-altare.

Ngakho-ke, kumane nje kuyindaba yokuthi uma izinengiso zikaJulayi 8, 2015 zixhunywe kuTamuzi 17, kufanele sibe nelukuluku lokwazi ukuthi uTamuzi 17 uwa nini. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi liwe ngosuku lweNselele yeKarmeli uqobo lwalo, ngoJulayi 8, 2015?

Ukuze kube njalo, inyanga entsha kwakuzodingeka ibonakale ezinsukwini ezingu-17 ngaphambi kukaJulayi 8, okwakuzoba ngoJuni 21 (!). Kungenzeka yini ukuthi inyanga entsha ibonakale ngoJuni 21 ngonyaka ka-2015, ngenkathi kwenzeka i-Carmel Challenge? Ukusebenzisa uhlelo olufanele,^[41] umuntu angakwazi ukubala ukubonwa kwenyanga okuseduze ukuze athole ukuthi “ingozi” enjalo yayingenzeka yini. Cishe, umphumela usebangeni likaJuni 16-18… eduze kukaJuni 21, kodwa akusasondele ngokwanele.

Kuthiwani ngeminyaka elandelayo? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhomba onyakeni wokugcwaliseka kwalenselele? Ungakwazi ukubala imiphumela ngokwakho:

• 2016: Julayi 4-6… kude.

• 2017: Juni 23–25… eduze kukaJuni 21, kodwa isaphumile ebangeni futhi.

• 2018: Juni 13–15… kude.

• 2019: Julayi 2-4… kude.

• 2020: Juni 21–23… Ukubuka kwangomhla zingama-21 kuJuni KUSENZINI!

Akumangalisi yini lokho—ithuba lokuqala lokubona inyanga entsha ngoJuni 21 ngenyanga kaTamuzi, ukuze uTamuzi 17 aqondane noJulayi 8 futhi ngaleyo ndlela aqedele inselele “ka-Eliya”, ngakho kwenzeka ukuwa iminyaka emihlanu (ubude obujwayelekile besikhathi seNgqungquthela Jikelele) ngemva kokuba ibandla liphikiswe inselelo ngenxa yesinengiso salo ngo-2015!

Kodwa-ke, izinsuku ezisuka kuJuni 21 kuya ku-23 zingamathuba kuphela. Ukulandela ukwenza ukubala okuqondile kubonisa ukuthi inyanga yayiyobonakala kusukela ngo-June 22, njengoba kwaqinisekiswa ofakazi bokuzibonela baseJerusalema ababona inyanga ngo-June 22 ngemva kokushona kwelanga.^[42] Lokho kwakuyokwenza lobo busuku nangosuku olulandelayo, uJune 23, kube usuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesine (uTamuzi). I-17^th usuku lwaluzoba uJulayi 9, 2020, hhayi uJulayi 8. Ingabe kusenokuthile okushodayo?

Sikhuluma ngesiqalo sesahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu esikhulu kunazo zonke ezake zaba khona ezikhathini zanamuhla. Ingabe uNkulunkulu ubengashiya noma yikuphi ukungaqiniseki ngezinhloso Zakhe, noma ukungabaza ngesikhathi Sakhe saphezulu? U-Eliya wanamuhla wabiza u-Ted Wilson, abaholi bawo wonke amasonto obuProthestani, kanye ne-WONKE YOBUKRISTU ukuba balandise. Lokho kusho ukuthi kufanele kube nesizathu kucace ngokwanele ukuthi umhlaba wonke ubone, ukuthi kungani inyanga yayingabonwa ngosuku olwedlule, ngoJuni 21.

Uyayazi impendulo… Zibuze nje: ingabe wayibona inyanga ngoJuni 21, 2020—okuyinto ngokuvamile eyayingenakwenzeka nhlobo ngoba ngaleso sikhathi kwakuseyinyanga emnyama ngokuphelele yezinkanyezi!? Kodwa, kunjalo! Kube nokusitheka kwelanga ngoJuni 21, okusho ukuthi inyanga yayikhona BONWA zigcwele ilanga!

Izikhathi zika-Israyeli: Ukufiphala kwelanga 'kwendandatho yomlilo' okungavamile kufiphaza isibhakabhaka kwa-Israel

Kwa-Israyeli, le “nyanga” yayimboza ilanga ngokwengxenye, okwaphumela ngisho nelanga ukucabangela isimo socezwana njengoba ukukhanya kwawo kufanekisela inyanga. Wonke umuntu obone lokhu kusitheka kwelanga ngeSonto, Juni 21, 2020 ungufakazi wokubonwa kwenyanga entsha, okusho ukuthi, ngokomqondo weBhayibheli, ukuqala kwenyanga entsha! Lokhu kuzoletha uTamuzi 17 kuya kuJulayi 8 ukuthi akhombe unyaka ka-2020 njengonyaka lapho ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luzoqala khona ngezinengiso zebandla kanye neCarmel Challenge ezogcwaliseka. Futhi yilokho Ngaphezu kwalokho ukuze inkanyezi enomsila i-NEOWISE ivela ngaleso sikhathi ukuze ibonise lo nyaka njengonyaka wokugcwaliseka!

Ingabe uyoba phakathi kwalabo abavuma uNkulunkulu weqiniso, no-Eliya njengenceku yaKhe? Ingabe uzothatha izikhali zempi kamoya futhi ubulale amanga ngeqiniso?

Kwathi bonke abantu bekubona, bawa ngobuso babo, bathi: The Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu; i Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu. UElija wasesithi kubo. Thathani abaprofethi bakaBali; makungaphunyuki noyedwa kubo. Bababamba, u-Eliya wabehlisela emfudlaneni iKishoni, wababulalela khona. ( 1 AmaKhosi 18:39-40 )

Isipho Seqiniso E-altare

KwakukuNkulunkulu lapho u-Eliya ekhomba abantu, futhi kwakuyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ukuthi umhlatshelo owawuse-altare wawufanekisela. UMuntu ongcwele nongenasono wayedingeka njengoMbambeli wesintu; noma yimuphi umhlatshelo onesici wawungeke ukwazi ukuhlawulela isintu, ngoba isintu sadalwa singenasono, futhi ukubuyisela isoni esimweni sokungabi nasono kwakudinga uMbambeli ongenasono. Noma yini engaphansi kwalokho yayiyobe isilele ekuqedeni zonke izono emphefumulweni wekholwa.

Umlilo kaNkulunkulu wawuwuphawu lokuthi uNkulunkulu wayewamukele umhlatshelo, ukuthi wawuthathwa njengongenabala, nokuthi ubumsulwa bawo bamukelwa ngenxa (endabeni ka-Eliya) ibandla. Ngakho, kwakungelona nje uphawu lokubonisa ukuthi ubani onguNkulunkulu weqiniso, kodwa futhi ukubuyisela abantu kuNkulunkulu ngesibonakaliso sokuthi Umhlatshelo ka-Eliya yamukelwa, futhi babengabuyiselwa emseni kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yalokho, futhi bathole isibusiso semvula eyayidingeka kakhulu ngemva kweminyaka emithathu nengxenye yesomiso. Ngisho namatshe e-altare ashiswa umlilo ngenxa yokuthi kwakungadingeki imihlatshelo eyengeziwe—yanele, futhi isivumelwano (esifanekiselwa amatshe angu-12) sase sigcwalisiwe. kuvunyelwe.

Umhlatshelo owamukelekayo uwumhlatshelo ofanelwe ukulingiswa.^[43] Lapho umfundisi kaKristu ephuma ukuze afinyelele abanye ngomlayezo wensindiso, izindebe zakhe kufanele zikhulume ngoKristu nangaye obethelwe esiphambanweni.^[44] Yilokhu okufundiswa iwashi likaNkulunkulu ngezindlela eziningi, futhi njengoba uphawu lomphongolo wesivumelwano lufika esiphethweni salo ngoSepthemba 3–6, 2020, kufanele sibuze ukuthi lusho ukuthini lolo phawu lobungcwele.

In Ingxenye II of Imfihlakalo Yomuzi Ongcwele, kwatholakala ukuthi uJesu wabhapathizwa ngo Ngo-September 4, AD 27—isikhumbuzo sawo manje esiphakathi kwezihlalo zobukhosi zewashi! Lolu suku lwango-AD 27 lwaluyimpicabadala enkulu okwathi lapho isixazululiwe, yabonakala ibaluleke kakhulu.

Ubhapathizo lumelela (phakathi kwezinye izinto) isinqumo somuntu siqu nesesidlangalaleni sokulahla isono sakhe esidlule (uJesu ayengenaso!) futhi ahambe endleleni yokulunga. Limele ukufa nokuzalwa kabusha kuKristu, okuncike eMhlatshelweni Wakhe. KumKristu, kuyisinqumo “ukuthatha isiphambano sakhe futhi amlandele.”^[45]

Nokho, uComet NEOWISE, watholwa ngobusuku bango-March 27, 2020. Lobu kwakuwubusuku besinqumo sikaMfoweth’ uJohn ngo-1999 sokunikela ngokuphila kwakhe kuNkulunkulu ukuze akhonze, nalapho ethola iphupho ngo-2003 elamenza wafundela ukubhapathizwa, kwathi ngo-2004 wathembisa ukuhamba emanzini amaningi aye endaweni yasemanzini.^[46] Wabhapathizwa ngo-July 12, 2003, okwathi ngalowo nyaka Tamuzi 11 ngokwekhalenda leBhayibheli, futhi kulo nyaka, iTamuzi 11 iyaqhubeka NgoJulayi 3, 2020—inkathi yenkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE, lapho “ibhapathizwa ngomlilo” njengoba idlula ilanga! Lokhu kufanekisela ukuthi ogcotshiweyo wesibili (uGabriyeli) walishiya kanjani izulu njengekherubi elisibekelayo, weza evela kuNkulunkulu weza emhlabeni (njengoba u-NEOWISE evela elangeni), wakhonza ukubuyisela iqiniso likaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, futhi maduze uzomuka futhi. Lezi zonke izikhathi zesinqumo ezixhuma le comet nomsebenzi we uEliya wokugcina.

Nokho, kuJesu ubhapathizo lwalunokubaluleka okuhlukile kunezoni. Wayengenaso isono sokugezwa, kodwa wabhapathizwa “ukugcwalisa ukulunga konke,”^[47] ngoba lalimele isinqumo Sakhe esisobala sokungena enkonzweni egameni lesintu, ukuqedela umsebenzi ayethunyelwe wona. Lapho ebhapathizwa, uNkulunkulu wavuma uJesu njengeNdodana yakhe.

Lapho uJesu ebhapathizwa, wakhuphuka masinyane emanzini. Bheka, amazulu amvulelwa, wabona umoya kaNkulunkulu wehla njengejuba, ukhanyisela phezu kwakhe. Futhi bheka izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokozile ngayo. ( Mathewu 3:16-17 )

Njengabo bonke abanye abantu, uJesu kwadingeka akhule futhi afinyelele ekugcwalisekeni kwenjongo yakhe ekuphileni. Wayeqonda incazelo yewundlu lomhlatshelo lapho ebonisana nodokotela bomthetho eJerusalema, kodwa ngokubhapathizwa Kwakhe, wamukela ubizo lomhlatshelo. Waqala kanjalo-ke umsebenzi Wakhe, umsebenzi emhlabeni owawuyofinyelela umvuthwandaba ngokubonakaliswa kothando okukhulu kakhulu nokungenabugovu okwake kwaziwa. Ngomhlatshelo Wakhe, uJesu wanqoba uSathane esikhundleni somuntu.

Uma inselele yecilongo lesithupha lika-Eliya yayizofinyelela ekugcwalisekeni kwayo okuphelele esiteshini senhlupho yesithupha emjikelezweni wamanje wewashi le-Orion (September 3–6, 2020, njengoba sibonile), khona-ke lokhu kuqondaniswa kosuku lokubhapathizwa kukaJesu (Gregory) lwangoSeptember 4 nemigqa yezihlalo zobukhosi zewashi kumelwe kube nokubaluleka okujulile.

Lokhu kugqanyiswa yiqiniso lokuthi uBellatrix ubuye wakhomba ngqo ekuqaleni kokugubha usuku lwesonto lokuhlupheka (May 20, 2020) ngenkathi inyanga ecwebile imaka isikhumbuzo sokubethelwa Kwakhe esiphambanweni (Meyi 25, 2020). Sisondelene kakhulu nenhliziyo ka-Eliya, ngoba kwakuyisifundo esihle UKrestu eGetsemane kanye nosuku lokubethelwa Kwakhe okwabeka i isisekelo esiqinisekile lapho kungaqondwa khona ikhalenda namawashi kaNkulunkulu.

Isiphambano sikaKristu siyoba isayensi kanye nengoma yabahlengiweyo ingunaphakade. KuKristu okhazinyulisiwe bayobona uKristu ebethelwe esiphambanweni. Akusoze kwalibaleka ukuthi Lowo omandla akhe adala futhi asekela imihlaba engenakubalwa ngokusebenzisa indawo enkulu yomkhathi, oThandekayo kaNkulunkulu, uMninimandla onke wezulu, Lowo ikherubi neserafi elikhanyayo elalijabulela ukukhuleka—wazithoba ukuze aphakamise umuntu owile. {I-GC 651.2}

Alukho olunye usuku olunokubaluleka okungangoMeyi 25, AD 31, ikakhulukazi enhlanganweni ka-Elijah, futhi kwakuyisikhumbuzo salolo suku ngo-2020 lapho impi yobuhlanga yaqala khona eMinneapolis, okwenza ukuthi iMelika emnyama ivukele imibhikisho enodlame. Lokhu futhi kwagcwalisa esinye isici sesiprofetho secilongo lesithupha, esikhuluma ngebutho elinamandla ayizigidi ezingu-200.

Zase zithukululwa izingelosi ezine ezazilungiselwe ihora, nosuku, nenyanga, nonyaka, ukuze abulale ingxenye yesithathu yabantu. Inani lempi yabamahhashi laliyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili; ngezwa umumo wabo. ( IsAmbulo 9:15-16 )

Ukungaziwa okungaqondakali kwaleli butho ekugcineni kuzokwaziwa ngokwengqikithi yalokho okwenzeka ngoMeyi 25, 2020. IZizwe Ezihlangene ziliqamba ngokusemthethweni leli butho ngo-2015-2024 “Iminyaka Eyishumi Yamazwe Ngamazwe Yabantu Benzalo Yase-Afrika":

Ekumemezeleni leliShumi Leminyaka, umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe uqaphela ukuthi abantu bomdabu base-Afrika bamele iqembu elihlukile okufanele amalungelo abantu athuthukiswe futhi avikelwe. Around abantu abayizigidi ezingu-200 abazibiza ngokuthi bangabokudabuka e-Afrika bahlala emazweni aseMelika. Izigidi eziningi ezengeziwe zihlala kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba, ngaphandle kwezwekazi lase-Afrika.

Ngakho-ke, i-UN ngokwayo ihlinzeka ngenani uJohane alizwa embonweni, futhi leli butho lahlanganiswa ngoMeyi 25, 2020 ngokubulawa kukaGeorge Floyd. Ayini amandla aleli butho? IBhayibheli liyasitshela:

Ngoba amandla abo emlonyeni wabo, nasemisileni yawo: ngokuba imisila yawo yayifana nezinyoka, inamakhanda, futhi alimaza ngayo. ( IsAmbulo 9:19 )

"Umlomo" yilapho izwi livela khona, futhi ukuthi abantu base-Afrika baseMelika banamandla ezwini labo kubonakala ngokwabo; I-Black Lives Matter kanye nezinye izinhlangano eziningi zikhona ukuze zinikeze izwi kuleli butho.

Isiprofetho sinezingqimba eziningi zencazelo, futhi izici ezihlukahlukene zecilongo lesithupha eziye zahunyushwa esikhathini esidlule zisasebenza,^[48] kuyilapho ezinye izici manje seziyavela esimweni samanje. Abantu base-Afrika baziwa ngezifihla-buso zamabhubesi kanye nemibala yendabuko ephuzi noluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka:

Ngase ngibona amahhashi embonweni nabahlezi phezu kwawo; benezivikelo zesifuba zomlilo [bomvu], kanye ne-jacinth [okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka], nesibabule [yellow]: namakhanda amahhashi aye njengamakhanda ezingonyama; emilonyeni yazo kwakuphuma umlilo, nomusi, nesibabule. ( IsAmbulo 9:17 )

Ibhayibheli liyaqhubeka nokusho izono ezivelele zalesi sibalo sabantu:

Kepha abanye abantu abangabulawanga yilezi zinhlupho abaphendukanga emisebenzini yezandla zabo; ukuthi bangakhulekeli amademoni, nezithombe zegolide, nezesiliva, nezethusi, nezetshe, nezokhuni, ezingakwazi ukubona, ukuzwa, nokuhamba; futhi abaphendukanga ekubulaleni kwabo, nasekuthakatheni kwabo, nasebufebeni babo, nasekwebeni kwabo. ( IsAmbulo 9:20-21 )

I-Islam nayo inendima lapha, njengoba abantu abaningi base-Afrika nabo bengamaSulumane, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezisenyakatho. UNkulunkulu akakhethi buso bamuntu, futhi akakhulumi kalula ngesono ngoba nje senziwe iqembu elincane. Kunjalo futhi ukuthi i-coronavirus ihlasele abantu base-Afrika baseMelika kakhulu kunabanye. “Umphefumulo owonayo uyakufa.”^[49]

Ngiyathokoza yini ngokufa komubi na? isho iNkosi uNkulunkulu: hhayi ukuba abuye ezindleleni zakhe, aphile, na? ( Hezekeli 18:23 )

Umusa weNkosi kwanele kuwo wonke umuntu ofisa ukukhululeka esonweni—umAfrika noma ngenye indlela—ngakho akekho onezaba. Uma ukuthambekela kofuzo kunamandla, uKristu unamandla.

UGeorge Floyd wayengeyena umfel’ ukholo, kodwa ngempela wayengumhlatshelo: umhlatshelo owawufanekiselwa e-altare likaBhali, bonke labo abaguqa ngobumbano naye abakhothamele kuwo. Ngisho nenkulumo ethi “Black Lives Matter” ngemva kokufa kukaGorge Floyd iwukugomela ngendelelo kokuthi umhlatshelo e-altare likaBhali kufanele uhlonishwe. Nokho, umlayezo kaEliya wesimanje wawunjalo Kuqinisekisiwe ngokuqubuka kwezibhelu mayelana nosuku lokubethelwa, usuku oluphakathi nendawo yomlayezo.

Ngininika umyalo omusha wokuba nithandane; njengoba nginithandile, ukuthi lani lithandane. (UJohn 13: 34)

Akakho onothando olukhulu kunalolu, lokuthi umuntu adele ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yabangane bakhe. ( Johane 15:13 )

Kodwa indaba kaJesu ayikapheli ngokufa Kwakhe esiphambanweni! Umugqa wesihlalo sobukhosi ngakwesokunene sewashi ophawula ukuqala kophawu lomphongolo wesivumelwano ukhomba April 27, 2020. Lona bekuwunyaka wesikhombisa kwasungulwa isibonakaliso sikaJona—ukukhanya okukhulu kunakho konke okwake kwaziwa isintu—okwenzeka ngeSabatha, April 27, 2013. Ukuliqonda kahle ikhalenda likaNkulunkulu kusenza sikwazi ukunquma hhayi nje kuphela izinsuku zokukhumbula iminyaka kaGregory, kodwa futhi nezinsuku zezinsuku zeBhayibheli, zesiHeberu. Ekhalendeni leBhayibheli, Ngomhla zingama-27 kuMbasa wezi-2013, kwakuwusuku lwesithungu sokuzuliswa, okusho ukuvuka kweNkosi yethu. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi lolo suku lwedili olukhethekile lwaba ngeSabatha lika-2013, lokho kwalwenza lwaba iSabatha Eliphakeme.^[50]

Manje njengoba kunezinsuku ezintathu ewashini ezikhomba ezenzakalweni ezintathu ezibaluleke kakhulu ekuphileni kukaJesu—Ubhapathizo, Umdlandla, Novuko—siqala ukubona isithombe esibumbene sakheka.

Uma sicabangela ukuthi iwashi lihlehla lihlehla (ngokuphambene newashi), sinokulandelana “okuhlehlisiwe,” okubonisa ukuphila kukaJesu ekubukezweni, futhi kubonakala sengathi yonke ingxenye ephezulu yewashi ihilelekile. Lesi yisikhathi esifanayo sesibonakaliso somphongolo wesivumelwano; ngoba uJesu wagcwalisa wonke umthetho ngempilo Yakhe yokusebenzela abanye ngokuzinikela.

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

Ngendlela efanayo, abantu bakaNkulunkulu bangafunda ewashini indlela yokuhamba enkonzweni yabanye futhi kanjalo bagcine umthetho waKhe. UJesu weza njengeSibonelo sethu ukuze asifundise singasinqoba kanjani isono futhi siphile ngezimiso zomthetho ezimpilweni zethu.^[51]

Kodwa kuthiwani ngeBetelgeuse? Isiphi isigameko esibaluleke kakhulu ebesingenzeka ngoJune 22, esikhathini esithile empilweni Yakhe yenkonzo, esingaqondana nendawo nenkazimulo yeShekina emfanekisweni womkhumbi?

Ekukhanyeni okuphelele umphongolo wesivumelwano—kuhlanganisa namakherubi ayisibekelayo—umuntu angasho ukuthi yisiphi isenzakalo esikhulu esiboniswa lapha: Ukuguqulwa isimo.

Emva kwezinsuku eziyisithupha uJesu wathatha oPetru, noJakobe, noJohane umfowabo, wakhuphukela nabo entabeni ende bebodwa. Futhi waguqulwa isimo phambi kwabo. ubuso bakhe bakhazimula njengelanga, nezingubo zakhe zazimhlophe njengokukhanya. bheka, kwabonakala kubo UMose no-Eliya ekhuluma naye. ( Mathewu 17:1-3 )

Isimo esabonwa uPetru, uJakobe, kanye noJohane sasifanekisela uMbuso weZulu, sifana nezidalwa ezintathu ezikhona emphongolweni wesivumelwano: uNkulunkulu phakathi nezingelosi ezimbili, enye ngapha nangapha.

UMose entabeni yokuguqulwa isimo wayewubufakazi bokunqoba kukaKristu phezu kwesono nokufa. Wayemelela labo abayophuma ethuneni ekuvukeni kwabalungileyo. U-Eliya, owayeguqulelwe ezulwini engakuboni ukufa, wayefanekisela labo abayobe bephila emhlabeni ekufikeni kwesibili kukaKristu, futhi ‘abayoguqulwa, ngesikhashanyana, ngokuphazima kweso, ngecilongo lokugcina; lapho “lokhu okufayo kumelwe kwembathe ukungafi,” futhi “lokhu okonakalayo kumelwe ukwembatha ukungonakali.” 1 Korinte 15:51-53 . UJesu wembethe ukukhanya kwasezulwini, njengoba ezovela lapho eseza “ngokwesibili engenasono ekusindisweni.” Ngokuba Uzofika “enkazimulweni kaYise kanye nezingelosi ezingcwele.” Hebheru 9:28; Marku 8:38 . Isithembiso soMsindisi kubafundi sase sigcwalisekile. Phezu kwentaba umbuso wenkazimulo wesikhathi esizayo wawumelelwe ngobuncane.—UKristu iNkosi, uMose ummeleli wabangcwele abavusiwe, no-Eliya wabahumushiwe. {I-DA 421.4}

Nakuba abafundi abathathu ababona lesi senzakalo babecabanga ukuthi kwakusho ukuthi uJesu wayesezomisa ukubusa Kwakhe eMhlabeni, kwakunenjongo ehlukile. UJesu wayebakhuphule entabeni ukuze afunele amandla kuNkulunkulu yena nabafundi Bakhe ngaphambi kokufa Kwakhe.

Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba umqhele kufanele kufike isiphambano. Hhayi ukubekwa kukaKristu njengenkosi, kodwa ukufa okuzofezwa eJerusalema, kuyisihloko sengqungquthela yabo noJesu.... Lamadoda, akhethwe ngaphezu kwazo zonke izingelosi ezizungeze isihlalo sobukhosi, ayezele ukuzokhuluma noJesu. mayelana nezigcawu zokuhlupheka Kwakhe, kanye nokuMduduza ngesiqiniseko sozwelo lwasezulwini. Ithemba lomhlaba, insindiso yawo wonke umuntu, kwakuwumthwalo wengxoxo yabo. {I-DA 422.2}

Ngakho-ke, lesi senzakalo esibalulekile empilweni kaJesu asigcini nje ngokulandela ukulandelana kwewashi, kodwa sihlobene ngokuqondile ne-Passion kaKristu, ukuxhumanisa amaphuzu e-Betelgeuse ne-Bellatrix ndawonye njengokugxilwa kwalo mfanekiso wesithombe somlingiswa kaKristu kanye nothando Lwakhe ngesintu oluboniswa emazulwini. Kodwa ngohlelo lwethu lwesikhathi, isiphambano sikaMeyi 25 salandelwa umqhele kaJuni 21. UJesu wafa kanye, futhi manje usebuya njengeNkosi yamakhosi.

Lapha endaweni ephakeme kakhulu ewashini, sibona uJesu njengesipho esikhulu e-altare. Lona nguYe u-Eliya wesimanje abelokhu ekhomba kuye, selokhu aqala ukwakha indlu yakhe phezu kwalelo Dwala 2010 kanye Umlayezo we-Orion (ephakathi kolimele^[52]) futhi ikakhulukazi Isifundo seGetsemane, eyashicilelwa okokuqala (ngesiJalimane) ngoSepthemba wonyaka ka-2010—iminyaka eyishumi ngaphambi kwemigqa yesihlalo sobukhosi sikaSepthemba ka-2020, lapho usuku lokubethelwa kukaJesu lutholakala futhi lwafakazelwa. Yiluphi olunye ucwaningo oluyisipikili esinjalo endaweni eqinisekile?^[53] Futhi njengesinxephezelo somsebenzi wakhe, okwakumelwe wamukelwe ngenjabulo futhi wamukelwe futhi usekelwe abacwaningi beBhayibheli abanekhono bezwe, uEliya wavuna ushushiso futhi wabhekana nokuvinjelwa okunonya kwalokhu kukhanya. Kodwa leliqiniso liyokuma kuzo zonke izivunguvungu, ngoba lisekelwe kuJesu Kristu futhi Yena ebethelwe esiphambanweni.^[54]

Kepha uma kuvela kuNkulunkulu, anikwazi ukukuchitha; funa nifunyanwe ningabalwa noNkulunkulu. ( IzEnzo 5:39 )

Ngakho, kufaneleka kakhulu ukuba le ngxenye ephezulu yewashi ihambisane nesonto laseSmirna, njengoba kuboniswe ekwethulweni kwe-Orion.^[55] ISmirna yibandla elithembekile elabizelwa ukunikela ngezimpilo zalo ngenxa Yakhe:

Ungesabi lezozinto ozahlupheka ngazo; khangela, uSathane uzaphosela abanye benu entolongweni, ukuze nilingwe; futhi niyakuba nosizi izinsuku eziyishumi: thembeka kuze kube sekufeni, futhi ngizokunika umqhele wokuphila. ( IsAmbulo 2:10 )

Izinsuku eziyishumi zeminyaka eyishumi yomlayezo we-Orion, futhi yingakho i ifa laseSmirna.

Ngakho-ke, njengoba icilongo lesithupha lokulungiselela lalikhomba esihlungwini sesithupha sokulungiselela, kanjalo icilongo lesithupha elinomsindo likhomba ukuqala kwenkonzo kaKristu ezihlalweni zobukhosi kwesokunxele zikaSepthemba 3–6, 2020, nakuyo yonke inkonzo kaKristu—ukuphila, ukufa, nokuvuka—lokho kuhlanganisa yonke ingxenye ephezulu yewashi. Ikakhulukazi okugxilwe kuyo umhlatshelo Wakhe, okwakuwumvuthwandaba wenkonzo Yakhe yonke, futhi ngokombono womuntu, ukunqoba okukhulu kunakho konke okwake kwenziwa uSathane.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi esosizini noma enkazimulweni yokuguqulwa kwakhe isimo, uJesu wayehlale ecabanga ngabanye, ngisho nangaphansi kwemithwalo Yakhe siqu kanye nalokho kuhlupheka okungekho omunye owake wakwazi. Abantwana bakaNkulunkulu nabo bawumthwalo kaEliya wanamuhla, ngoba njengoba uJesu asuswa emhlabeni, kanjalo “noEliya” uyosuswa (kuwumbuzo nje wokuthi liyogcwaliseka kanjani futhi nini), futhi kuyoba khona ukulambela kwezwi likaNkulunkulu ezweni. Njengoba kumelwe ahambe, ucabanga nangalabo abayosala—njengoElisha—ukuze bawele iJordani baqhubeke nomsebenzi ngaphansi kwezimo ezimbi zezwe nezamazwe ngamazwe.

Kuyakuthi ophunyuka enkembeni kaHazayeli abulawe nguJehu, nophunyuka enkembeni kaJehu abulawe u-Elisha. Kepha ngitshiye izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa kwa-Israyeli, onke amadolo angaguqanga kuBhali, nayo yonke imilomo engazange imange. ( 1 AmaKhosi 19:17-18 )

U-Eliya wayesebabulele abapristi bakaBali no-Ashera eNtabeni iKarmeli, kodwa kwakusenomsebenzi omningi wokulungisa okwakumelwe wenziwe kwa-Israyeli. Namuhla abaprofethi kuyo yonke indawo bathi “isonto alilungile, ibandla alikakalungeli,” futhi ngokuvamile baqinisile. Ingabe ibandla selikulungele ukuzidela njengoba kwenza uKristu? Ingabe ikulungele ukuzidela njengoba kwenza uPhiladelphia, bayeke ukuhlwithwa ukuze bafune futhi basindise abalahlekile ngesikhathi sosizi? Singathi futhi, “isonto alikalungeli.”

I-Mirror

Emfanekisweni womphongolo wesivumelwano, uJesu noGabriyeli bama njengofakazi ababili noma ababili abagcotshiwe abavale isihlalo somusa ngamaphiko abo, njengoMose no-Eliya bema endaweni yokuGuqulwa isimo. NguJesu owafa esiphambanweni engabangenisanga abantwana bakhe eZweni Lesethembiso lasezulwini, njengoMose wafa entabeni yaseNebo, noJesu wavuka futhi wenyukela kuBaba njengoMose wavuswa wayiswa ezulwini. (UJoshuwa, umfanekiso wogcotshiweyo wesibili, kamuva wahola abantwana bakwaIsrayeli wabangenisa eKhanani.)

Ngokuphambene, u-Eliya nguye owanyuselwa ezulwini ephila futhi ofana nogcotshiweyo wesibili, noma ufakazi wesibili, okwakumelwe asuswe emhlabeni ahlwithwe ayiswe ezulwini ephila. Isibonakaliso somphongolo wesivumelwano sinikeza ukuqonda okwengeziwe kulokhu, ngoba sibonisa ukulandelana kwezenzakalo okufana nesibuko (bheka isithombe), futhi lezo eziphathelene noJesu sezigcwalisekile kakade njengesibonelo kithi.

Ikakhulukazi, kunesici esinelukuluku lophawu: iwashi le-Orion likhomba isikhumbuzo sokuqala kweviki le-Passion ngoMeyi 20, 2020, kanti iMazzaroth (ngenyanga entsha) ikhomba isikhumbuzo sokubethelwa ngokwayo ngoMeyi 25.

Ohlangothini lwesobunxele kubonakala inyanga entsha yango-July 23, 2020—okungahambisana nokubethelwa—kodwa ikuphi umugqa wewashi wewashi le-Orion (umugqa onamachashazi osesithombeni) okhomba “isenzakalo sokunqoba” esihlobene nokungena kukaJesu eJerusalema ngokunqoba?

Kuyacaca ukuthi kukhona okuzotholwa lapha. Ingabe inkanyezi enomsila ka-Eliya inganikeza umkhondo, uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi isondela kakhulu emhlabeni ngo-July 23? Sesivele sabona ukuthi izinsuku ezibalulekile zenkanyezi enomsila NEOWISE zonke zikhomba kanjani empilweni kaMfowethu uJohn, okuhlanganisa neqiniso lokuthi ngoJulayi 23, 2020, ilanga nenyanga zikuCancer noLeo, ngokulandelana, zikhomba izimpawu zokuzalwa zikaMfoweth' uJohn. njengoba kuchaziwe ku Amagugu Omphongolo Olahlekile.

Uma lezi zinkanyezi (ezichaza isizwe sakhe esingokomoya kanye nomphostoli ngokusho kwe Isifundo seDolobha Elingcwele) kwaphawula ukufika kwakhe emhlabeni njengomuntu, babengeke yini futhi kulo mongo babe inkomba yokuthi sesifikile isikhathi sokusuka kwakhe ebandleni, njengo-Eliya owathathwa yisivunguvungu somlilo? Isikhathi sizosho ngqo ukuthi kwenzekani ngalolo suku, kodwa okungenani kufanele silindele iphethini enikezwe ngakolunye uhlangothi lwewashi ukukhombisa okuthile okungafana noma okuphambana nokubethelwa kukaJesu esiphambanweni.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, sifunda ngokwenza isibuko isandla sewashi langoMeyi 20, 2020 ukuthi okuthile okuhambisana nokungena kukaJesu ngokunqoba eJerusalema kufanele kubonakale kwesokunxele. Lesi sandla sewashi “esifihliwe” saziwa isikhathi eside, futhi sisekelwa ukutholakala koHlelo Oluphakeme LweSabatha,^[56] okuqinisekisa zonke izandla zewashi le-Orion kanye nezehlakalo zika-1888-1890 ezingaphawulwanga ngesandla senkanyezi e-Orion-leyo minyaka enzima lapho iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist limi emingceleni yaseKhanani emva kokuhlola izwe.

Ezimbili zezinhloli (AT Jones no-EG Waggoner) zabuya nombiko omuhle, kodwa ibandla lenqaba ukukhuphuka liyodla izwe. Ukuqhathanisa nokungena kweKhanani kwenziwa ku-General Conference Bulletin ka-1892, amagama ashiwo ku-Ellen G. White:^[57]

“Ngabona ukuthi uJones noWagoner babenomlingani wabo kuJoshua noCaleb. Njengalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhanda izinhloli ngamatshe angokoqobo, nibakhanda ngamatshe laba bazalwane ngamatshe okubhuqa nokuklolodela. Ngabona ukuthi wenqaba ngamabomu lokho owazi ukuthi kuyiqiniso, ngenxa nje yokuthi kuhlazisa kakhulu isithunzi sakho. Ngibone abanye benu ematendeni enu belingisa futhi behlekisa ngazo zonke izinhlobo zalaba bazalwane ababili. Ngabona futhi ukuthi uma uwamukele umyalezo wabo, ngabe sisembusweni iminyaka emibili kusukela ngalolo suku, kodwa manje kufanele sibuyele ehlane futhi sihlale lapho iminyaka engamashumi amane.” GCB May 9, 1892 (Melbourne, Australia).

“Iminyaka emibili kusukela ngalolo suku” (okungukuthi, ingqungquthela yaseMinneapolis ka-1888) kwakuyoba unyaka ka-1890 lapho uJesu ayezofika khona. Uma umuntu eqhathanisa lapho lezi zinsuku zenkathi yokwahlulela ziwela khona ewashini ngokuphathelene nomjikelezo osebenzayo manje, umuntu uthola ibanga ledethi ukusuka kuJulayi 29, 2020 kuya ku-Agasti 1, 2020 elihambisana neminyaka engu-1888 kuya ku-1890, okunikeza isandla sewashi esidingekayo somcimbi “wokunqoba” ohambisana nawo.

Umbuzo uwukuthi, yiziphi izinsuku ezikhonjiwe okufanele umugqa udwetshwe?

Ngaphambili, sibonile ukuthi inkanyezi enomsila i-NEOWISE nendaba ka-Eliya kuhlobene eduze ‘nokukhalela uTamuzi,’ eqala isikhathi samaJuda samasonto amathathu sokulila ngenxa yokubhujiswa kwethempeli. Isiphetho salesi sikhathi sokulila singo-Tisha B'Av (the 9^th ka-Av) ewela phezu Julayi 31 ngo-2020, khona kanye phakathi nebanga ledethi lika-1888 kuya ku-1890. Ukukhuluma ngqo, ihambisana nonyaka ka-1889, unyaka owodwa ngaphambi kophawu lokuza okungenzeka kukaJesu. Ingelosi uGabriyeli yafika izobuyisela ibandla emingceleni yaseKhanani ngemva kokuzulazula kwehlane! Manje njengoba umsebenzi wakhe usuphelile, kungase kube yisikhathi sokuhamba—njengoba kubikwa nokuthi uNEOWISE ngeke esabonakala ngeso lenyama ngasekupheleni kukaJulayi.^[58] Liyobe selihlehlele emazulwini lapho lalivela khona.

Lokhu kunemiphumela ejule kakhulu. Futhi kwakunguTisha B’Av lapho ama-Israyeli eqala ukwenqaba ukungena eZweni Lesithembiso.

Futhi i Nkosi wezwa izwi lamazwi enu, wathukuthela, wafunga, wathi: Impela akusayikubona namunye kulaba bantu balesi sizukulwane esibi lelo zwe elihle; engafunga ukubanika oyihlo...Nabuya nakhala phambi kukaJehova Nkosi; kodwa Nkosi alilalelanga izwi lenu, alibekanga indlebe kini. ( Duteronomi 1:34-35, 45 )

Labo abenqaba insindiso kabusha abasoze bangena eKhanani lasezulwini. Bonke bafile, ngokomoya, kuyilapho abangenacala—njengabantwana bakwaIsrayeli—manje bengawuthatha umlayezo wengelosi evela ezulwini futhi balinqobe ngokuqiniseka izwe eliphambi kwabo.

UNkulunkulu usewulungiselele konke umzimba Wakhe, kodwa kunento eyodwa esekhona: ithempeli elidala. Kudingeka ichithwe futhi isuswe endleleni ukuze umzimba Wakhe omusha wamakholwa ume futhi umkhulekele ngomoya nangeqiniso, esikhundleni sabangakholwayo. Ukubhujiswa kwethempeli lasendulo eJerusalema kwathatha izinsuku ezimbalwa kusukela ku-Av 7 kuya ku-Av 10, ngokushiswa kwethempeli ngokwalo ngo-Av 9. Uma uqhathanisa lezo zinsuku nekhalenda likaGregory, lonke uhla luhambisana ncamashi nenkathi esukela kuJulayi 29 kuya ku-August 1 eboniswe ngenhla, ephawulwe ewashini njengezinsuku zika-1888 kuya ku-1890.

Ngokuba sesifikile isikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala kithi, kuyakuba yini ukuphela kwabangalaleli ivangeli likaNkulunkulu na? (Funda eyoku-1 Petru 4:17.)

Ingabe amazwi e-YouTube abekade esho lezi zinto, noma engaqondi ngokugcwele? Isibonelo, u-“rodyd61169” ukhulume ngalezi zikhathi kuvidiyo yakhe enesihloko esithi “Urgent Alert To Imminent Rapture”, kanye ne-“REVELATIONCHAPTER12dotCOM” ikhulume kabanzi ngokubaluleka kuka-Av 9 kuvidiyo yakhe. Bhubhisa LELI Thempeli - 9 Av, 2020. Waze waqaphela ukuxhumana nokuphuphuthekiswa (noma ukukhipha amehlo) abaholi bakamoya, ngaphandle kokuqaphela ukujula okugcwele kwalokho okushoyo nokuthi izimpawu zasezulwini zibonisa lokhu:

Ngokuqondile u-Av 9, umlaza weCancer (omele isonto) uphuphuthekiswe ukukhanya kwelanga, kuyilapho elinye iso laba mnyama ngaphambi nje kwenyanga (nayo eyimpumputhe). Lokhu akusona isenzakalo esivamile; kuwuphawu lwalokho okwenzeke ebandleni kanye nalokho okuzayo. Labo abangahambi ekukhanyeni kweqiniso lamanje^[59] uyoshiywa ebumnyameni obuphelele.

Umsebenzi weNceku ka-Eliya

In Isikhathi Asisekho, uMfoweth’ uJohn wabhala ukuthi u-October 5, 2020 (iphuzu leSaiph ewashini) kwakuyoba ukufika kukaJesu, futhi wayeqinisile lapho esho, ngoba ukufika kukaJesu akukhona ngokuphazima kweso. Umjikelezo wokugcina wewashi likaNkulunkulu “ihora” lokugcina “losuku” (unyaka osuka endaweni yaseBetelgeuse kaJuni 22, 2020 kuya endaweni yaseSaiph kaJuni 21, 2021) wokuza kukaKristu. Ngakho, isikhathi sokuza kwaKhe kubhekiselwa kuso embhalweni ngokuthi “usuku NEhora,” okufanele kumenyezelwe yilabo abeza ngomoya namandla kaEliya owamemezela ngempela usuku “nehora” lokuza kukaKristu esihlokweni sakhe sokugcina.

UNkulunkulu uhola abantu Bakhe isinyathelo ngesinyathelo kulo lonke iqiniso. Incazelo engokwesiprofetho yokuza kukaKristu itholakala kusAmbulo 19, esimchaza esezulwini elandelwa ibutho. Ibandla likaNkulunkulu lifaniswa nowesifazane othembekile oboshiwe kulo mhlaba nesikhohlakali esibi (uSathane) esimbambele ukuba abe yisihlengo. UJesu Kristu uyeza njengoMsindisi wakhe, ukuzovusa abathembekile bebandla bayo yonke iminyaka etilongweni labo lokufa futhi abathathe kanye nabangcwele abaphilayo abayise ekhaya laKhe lapho beyolondeka khona. Nokho, lokhu ngeke kwenzeke ngaphandle kwempi enkulu kunazo zonke! Futhi ukuze anqobe lempi, uKristu ubiza ibandla Lakhe ukuba limlandele futhi lilalele izwi Lakhe, kungenjalo ngeke nje lilahlekelwe umphefumulo walo kuphela kodwa. engozini impilo Yakhe futhi.

Isidingo sokulwa impi ngempumelelo sikhombisa ukuthi ukuza kwesibili akuwona nje umzuzwana kodwa kudinga isikhathi. Ngenxa yale mpi, inhlupho yesithupha iphetha ngokuqoqwa kwabantu:

Wabahlanganisela endaweni ethiwa ngesiHeberu iArmagedoni. ( IsAmbulo 16:16 )

Njengoba kuchaziwe ngenhla esigabeni Umthandazo ka-Eliya kanye nempendulo yawo, inselele yaseKarmeli yecilongo lesithupha inokugcwaliseka kwayo esiteshini senhlupho yesithupha yewashi, okungukuthi imigqa yesihlalo sobukhosi kwesokunxele. Uchungechunge lwesihloko I-Coronageddon kanye neCilongo Lesiliva yaqanjwa ngamabomu ukugcizelela ukuthi impi ye-Armageddon yaqala ngokuvela kwe-coronavirus khona kanye ngesikhathi emigqeni yesihlalo sobukhosi kwesokunxele emjikelezweni wesibili wewashi lenhlupho. Impi isiqalile! Kodwa-ke, uphawu lwe-altare aluzange luqedwe kwaze kwaba umzuliswano wesithathu wewashi lezifo, futhi ngenxa yalokho okubi kakhulu kusazovela kusukela ngoSepthemba 3-6 kuqhubeke, okuyiphuzu elifanayo ewashini. Manje siyazi ukuthi lesi yisikhathi lapho umuthi wokugomela i-coronavirus kulindeleke ukuthi utholakale,^[60] futhi kanjalo “ihora” lokulingwa liyoqala. Ingabe lesi sihloko esishubile sizophumelela ekwenzeni abantwana bakaNkulunkulu bawe endaweni ephakeme yokuziphatha yomthetho Wakhe? Noma bayogcina iMithetho Eyishumi futhi bahambe ngokungenasici phambi kwamehlo abantu, ngisho noma bebeka ukuphila kwabo engozini noma impilo yabo engozini? Ingxenye “yehora” yokuthula ezulwini iyokwesabeka ngendlela esabekayo njengoba indawo yonke ibukele ngokufutheka ukuze ibone umphumela wempi yokugcina engokomoya eyonquma yonke impi.

Sebenzisa isikhathi ngokuhlakanipha. Funda ku-Eliya indlela yokubukela nokuthandaza, indlela yokuqonda uNkulunkulu nokuzwa izwi Lakhe. Kungakho kunokushintshana phakathi kokuqala “kwehora” lokulingwa “nehora” lokubuya kukaKristu, ukuze umuntu akwazi ukusebenzisa okungenani lesosikhathi esifushane ukufunda ku-Eliya futhi achazelwe ngempi ngaphambi kokuba angenele impi kuze kuphele umjikelezo.

Ukuthula ezulwini kumayelana nophawu lwesikhombisa, okusho ukuthi lesi sigaba sempi siwumvuthwandaba wayo yonke incwadi yezimpawu eziyisikhombisa. Iziphetho zaphakade zizonqunywa futhi imivuzo engapheli iyozuzwa noma ilahleke—futhi iqhaza elikhulu empini iphethwe nguNkulunkulu uBaba, mathupha. Uyazi ukuthi ulwela bani? Ingabe uyaqonda ukuthi lesi sikhathi esiwumqoka futhi siwumgogodla wayo yonke impikiswano phakathi kokuhle nokubi? KukaNkulunkulu kuphela, futhi ngokulalela ngokuphelele umthetho Wakhe kuphela okungatholwa ukunqoba, ngakho-ke umthetho usuveziwe uphawu lomphongolo wesivumelwano.

Kusukela kulokho okuye kwaqondwa kuze kube manje, ukuvulwa nokuvalwa okumangalisayo kwezimpawu zesAmbulo manje kungethulwa ngendlela ethuthukisiwe, kuqala ngokuthula ezulwini kophawu lwesikhombisa phezulu:

Uphawu lwesithupha lungaqondwa njengoluthatha isikhathi esithe ukuvuleka kancane kunolwesikhombisa, sibala “ngokuzamazama komhlaba” (okungokoqobo noma okungokomfanekiso) okuza ngokwewashi emigqeni yesihlalo sobukhosi sikaSepthemba 3–6, 2020, uphawu luvalwa ngokubonakala kukaJesu njengoba kushiwo embhalweni.^[61]

Isiphetho sophawu lwesihlanu sibuyekeziwe ukuze sibonise ukwahlulelwa okuhlukene kanye nokuziphindiselela ngegazi labafel' ukholo. Ukwahlulela kwaqala nge-coronavirus ngoDisemba ka-2019 futhi kuqhuba "amahora" amabili ngewashi (umvuzo ophindwe kabili), futhi impindiselo kwababi ilandela ukuhamba kwabalungile.

Izinsuku zangemva kweminyaka eyinkulungwane nazo zibuyekeziwe ngokolwazi lwakamuva.

Isambulo 18 sichaza ukuwa kweBabiloni kanye nokuwohloka okuphelele kwezimali komnotho womhlaba. Sekuvele kuyiqiniso ukuthi inkinga ye-coronavirus idale inkinga yezezimali, ngakho-ke "indlu yamakhadi" izowa noma nini. Ingabe ukuwa kuzophawula ukuqala “kwehora” lesilingo ngoSepthemba?

Phakathi naleso sikhathi, ngokuphambene nesimiso sasemhlabeni wonke sesahluko 18, omunye umbono ‘wehora’ unikezwa esahlukweni 19. Uqala ngamazwi asezulwini—izinkulumo zokudumisa nokunqoba zalabo abangabombuso kaNkulunkulu. Lokhu kuhambisana “nokumemeza kokunqoba” okuchazwe ku isihloko esandulele, esanda kwandulela ukuwa kweBabiloni.

Bese umjikelezo wewashi olandelayo uqala ngencazelo ehlukile yehhashi elimhlophe, elihambisana nenkanyezi uSaiph:

Futhi ngabona izulu lavuleka [igama elingukhiye le-Orion^[62]], futhi bheka ihhashi elimhlophe; nohlezi phezu kwalo ubizwa ngokuthi oThembekileyo noQiniso, futhi ngokulunga uyahlulela, enze impi. ( IsAmbulo 19:11 )

Uqala kanjalo umzuliswano wokugcina wewashi, “ihora” lokuza kukaJesu, futhi kungalesi sikhathi lapho ibutho likaNkulunkulu kumelwe linqobe iBabiloni.

Amabutho asezulwini amlandela egibele amahhashi amhlophe. embethe ilineni elicolekileyo, elimhlophe nelihlanzekileyo. (IsAmbulo 19: 14)

Akuyona impi yenyama negazi, kodwa ngeyababusi namandla KAMOYA. Iphathelene nokuhlanzeka kokuziphatha, ubumsulwa nokulunga. Yebo, uJesu uyabalwela abantu bakhe, kodwa futhi ulwa NABO KANYE NGABO! Wonke amalungu ebandla anengxenye okufanele ayenze kanye nezitha azozilwa kule mpi yokugcina, futhi ukunqoba kuza kuphela ngoKristu nokulunga Kwakhe. njengoba kufanele kumzimba webandla ngokuphenduka nokulalela.

Ekutadisheni izinhlobo, sibhekene nombuzo ovelayo othi: “Uhlobo luya kude kangakanani, ekumeleleni kwalo okomfuziselo?” Ukunqoba eNtabeni iKarmeli kwakungakapheli kwaze kwaba yilapho izwe elomile seliniselwe imvula futhi, futhi lapha sinenye inombolo ebalulekile yeBhayibheli:

Futhi [Elijah] wathi encekwini yakhe: Yenyuka manje, ubheke ngaselwandle. Wakhuphuka, wabheka, wathi: "Akukho lutho." Wasesithi: Hamba futhi kasikhombisa. Kwathi ngokwesikhombisa wathi: bheka, kukhona evuka ifu elincane olwandle, njengesandla somuntu... (Funda eyoku-1 AmaKhosi 18:43-44.)

“Ifu elincane elimnyama” liwuphawu lokubuya kukaJesu.

Ngokushesha amehlo ethu adonsekela empumalanga, Okwe ifu elincane elimnyama kwase kubonakala, cishe ingxenye enkulu njengesandla somuntu, esasisazi sonke ukuthi kwakuyisibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu. {I-EW 15.2}

Ngokohlobo, lokhu kusho ukuthi ibandla kufanele libheke isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu izikhathi eziyisikhombisa ngemva kweNselele yaseKarmeli ngokwayo. Lokhu kubala izingxenye eziyisikhombisa zewashi (izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa) kusukela ngoSepthemba 3-6, 2020 kuze kuvele ukubonakala. Njengoba umhlaba uwohloka phakathi, lesi ngeke kube isikhathi esilula. Usuku olulandelwa ubusuku obulandelwa yimini luyoletha ukwesaba phezu kolunye, futhi abantwana bakaNkulunkulu kuyodingeka bamethembe futhi bamlandele ezweni eligubuzelwe ngokuphelele ebumnyameni.

Isihloko esilandelayo sizonikeza amazwibela ezimpawu zendlela nezibonakaliso zasezulwini zenkathi elandelayo, kodwa abantwana bakaNkulunkulu kumelwe bafunde ukuncika Kuye futhi bazizwele izwi Lakhe ngokwabo, ngoba u-Eliya ngeke ehlale ekwazi ukudlulisela amazwi kaNkulunkulu kubantu njengoba kwenza uMose. Ngakho-ke, hlenga isikhathi futhi usebenzise wonke amathuba ukuze ufunde futhi ufundise abanye manje.

Ukwazi ukuthi isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu ukubonakala kwembobo emnyama, kuyathakazelisa ukuthi manje njengoba lesi sihloko esiphathelene no-Eliya sibhalwa, isayensi izama ukuthola ubufakazi bomgodi omnyama "we-grapefruit" ngaphakathi kwesimiso sethu sonozungezilanga.^[63] Izinombolo kanye nokungabikho kweplanethi ebonakalayo engazichaza kusho ukuthi maningi kakhulu amathuba okuba khona komuntu—aphakeme ngokwanele ukuze kugunyazwe ukufunwa kososayensi.^[64] Uma kubonakala, leli bekuyoba “ifu elincane elimnyama” “elicishe libe ingxenye yesandla somuntu” elaprofethwa.

Nokho, lo mgodi omnyama uzosho ukuthini uma usubonakala kuwo wonke umuntu? Ababi abakhetha ubumnyama esikhundleni sokukhanya abayikubona lutho ngaphandle kokubhujiswa phambi kwabo. Njengoba ubuka ividiyo engezansi, uzokwazi ukukucabanga kahle lokho uJohane akubona embonweni lapho ebhala ukuthi amazulu amuka njengomqulu:

Izulu lamuka njengomqulu ogoqwayo; zonke izintaba neziqhingi zasuswa ezindaweni zazo. Amakhosi omhlaba, nezikhulu, nezinduna, nezicebi, nezigqila, nezigqila zonke, nabakhululekileyo, bacasha emihumeni nasemadwaleni ezintaba; bathi ezintabeni nasemaweni: Welani phezu kwethu; usifihle ebusweni balowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi nasolakeni lweWundlu, ngokuba usuku olukhulu lolaka lwayo selufikile; ngubani ongema na? ( IsAmbulo 6:14-17 )

Ubani ongasinda emgodini omnyama? Lokhu ukwesaba ababi, abazokwazi ukuthi wonke amaphupho abo kanye namathemba abo ekusasa elijabulisayo kuzophela ngesiphetho esibuhlungu nesizisolayo:

Kodwa kwabalungileyo, lolu phawu, lesi sibonakaliso—noma simnyama ekuqaleni—sizoqondwa njengesango eliya ezindaweni zasezulwini. Bahlambulule isimilo sabo egazini leWundlu futhi bayakwazi ukuya ngaphesheya. Kungase kubonakale ekuqaleni njengobumnyama obungapheli, futhi wonke umphefumulo uzothuthumela ngokumangala, ubuze umbuzo, "Ingabe ngihlanzekile?" Kodwa ukukhanya kuzozungeza abangcwele njengothingo futhi uJesu uzovela njengoba umnyango uvuleka futhi imbobo emnyama ishintsha ibe imbobo yezikelemu endaweni yonke yokukhanya. Ifu elincane elimnyama likhula libe yifu elikhulu elimhlophe lokuza kukaJesu.

Akehli emhlabeni, kodwa abangcwele bayambona njengoba benyuselwa kuye ngefu. Ividiyo elandelayo inikeza amazwibela wokuthi uhambo lungaba njani:

Umnyango oya kwenye indawo uyovuleka futhi iNkosi izovela nezingelosi zayo ukuze ivune abathembekile emhlabeni.^[65] Umuntu usengakwazi manje ukuqonda ukuthi uJesu uzobonakala kanjani efwini, nokho ngeke athinte le planethi engcolile kuze kube ngemva kwenkulungwane yeminyaka lapho Eyidala kabusha.

Sebenzisa isikhathi ngokuhlakanipha. Lungisani, lungelani, yibani ngcwele! Fundisani abanye futhi niphendulele abaningi ekulungeni ngokusemandleni esintu, nazi ukuthi “nginamandla okwenza konke ngoKristu ongiqinisayo,”^[66] futhi “kuNkulunkulu zonke izinto zingenzeka.”^[67] Akukho mkhuba wobugovu oyovunyelwa ukungcolisa uthando lwezulu, ngakho sebenzela abanye ngamandla akho wonke futhi unganciki kokwakho ukuqonda. Bamba “ukuhlakanipha okusha” okuvela phezulu, uthando lokuzidela olubonakaliswa kuJesu, futhi ulandele isibonelo asinikeza ngokuphila nangenkonzo Yakhe. Gcwalisani izibani zenu ngamafutha ngakho ungasebenzisa futhi usetshenziswe kwabanye, ukhanyisa indlela eya kuJesu.

Okwakho Nge-Dolorosa^[68] ukulindele, kodwa uma uthembekile ekunikeleni njengoJesu owanikela, uyohlangana Naye ngaphesheya futhi uzwe kuBaba, njengoba enza, ukuthi umsebenzi wakho wamukelwa yini. Akekho umuntu osindiswa ngemisebenzi, kodwa ngaphandle kwemisebenzi akekho osindiswayo. Lokho kungukulunga ngokukholwa ngamafuphi, futhi kungokholo kuphela lapho ukulunga kungeza khona.^[69] ngoba ngaphandle kokholo akwenzeki ukuthokozisa uNkulunkulu.^[70] Kwangathi abayizi-144,000 banganqoba ngokugcwele ukuze babonakalise uKristu kuze kube amazwi kaBaba angashiwo ngabo, futhi:

bheka, izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokozile ngayo. ( Mathewu 3:17 )
