Abagcini beSabatha abaningi cishe abakaze bahlangane nalesi sihloko. Nokho, kuyisifundo esinemiphumela emangalisayo. Into ehlanganisa wonke amaSeventh-day Adventist azo zonke izinhlobo, iSabatha, kuyabuzwa lapha. Kodwa hhayi ngokwenza iSonto libe usuku olufanele lokuphumula, njengoba kwenza amasonto amaningi obuKristu. Futhi, imfundiso ayimenyezelwa ukuthi alusekho usuku lokuphumula lweBhayibheli eTestamenteni Elisha, ukuthi zonke izinsuku ziyafana, njengoba amaMormon noma oFakazi beshumayela, isibonelo. Kunalokho:

ISabatha Lenyanga liyazethula

Inyanga entsha. Ngalolu suku kukhona ukuphumula njengesabatha. Lokhu kulandela amasonto amane, wonke agcina ngeSabatha. Khona-ke inyanga engcwele ilandela futhi, ukuze amaSabatha ahlale emhla ziyisi-8/15/22. kanye nomhla zingama-29 enyangeni eqala ngeNyangayezulu njengosuku loku-1. Nokho, ngenxa yezimo zezinkanyezi, ngezinye izikhathi kumelwe kufakwe usuku lokugxuma ngemva kwamasonto amane ukuze usuku lokuthwasa kwenyanga luqondane nokuthwasa kwenyanga, ukuvela kokuqala kwenyanga ethambile entekenteke.

Ngalolu hlobo lwekhalenda, iSabatha lingena osukwini oluhlukile lwesonto ekhalendeni lethu inyanga ngayinye. Impela izobonakala ingavamile kubantu abaningi, amaKrestu nama-Adventist, kanti futhi muva nje isanda kusekelwa ama-Adventist ngamanye kanye namaqembu amancane abagcina iSabatha lamaLunar emhlabeni jikelele. Ukukhombisa lokhu, nasi isithombe:

Le grafu ikhombisa ukuthi iSabatha lenyanga liwela kanjani osukwini oluhlukile lweviki emjikelezweni ngamunye wenyanga. Kuyaqabukela kuba ngoMgqibelo. Ukuphumula kwakuyoba ngawo wonke amaSabatha enyanga nezinsuku zokuthwasa kwenyanga.

"Ibandla likaNkulunkulu" elikhethekile

Ambalwa ama-Seventh-day Adventist azi ukuthi ngo-1863 akusungulwanga ibandla lethu kuphela, kodwa nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi iBandla likaNkulunkulu, iSeventh Day. Lokhu kwakuwumfelandawonye wama-Adventist agcina iSabatha abenqaba imibhalo ka-Ellen White. Namuhla leli bandla linamalungu acela ku-300.000.

UClarence Dodd kanye ne-Sacred Name Movement

Ilungu lalelo sonto okuthiwa uClarence Orvil Dodd lasungula lo magazini ngo-1937 Ukholo (Inkolelo). Lo magazini, ngokungafani nezinye, waqala ukukhuthaza imfundiso yokuthi kwakubalulekile ukukhuluma igama likaNkulunkulu elingcwele, futhi, uma kungenzeka, ngendlela elifanele.

Lokhu kwabangela inhlangano yeGama Elingcwele, ebuKristwini emelene kakhulu nombono wamaJuda wokungalibizi igama likaNkulunkulu ngenxa yobungcwele balo, ikakhulukazi njengoba ukuphinyiselwa kwayo ncamashi kungasaziwa. Kunalokho, ikhuthaza ukuphimisela kwayo kaningi, ngenhlonipho nangokwethembeka. Ukuphimisela kahle kwegama likaJesu kubalulekile nakubalandeli balo mbutho.

Imikhosi YeBhayibheli

Ngokufanayo, kusukela ngo-1928 kuqhubeke, uDodd wakhuthaza ukugcinwa kwezinsuku zedili likaMose neBhayibheli esikhundleni semikhosi yobuqaba yobuKristu. UHerbert Armstrong we-Worldwide Church of God, ikakhulukazi, wathatha le mfundiso futhi wayisakaza ngomagazini. kucacile futhi kuyiqiniso. Nokho, imfundiso efanayo ithola abalandeli bayo ngezikhathi ezithile phakathi kwamaSeventh-day Adventist.

Jonathan Brown kanye neSabatha Lenyanga

Umnyakazo weGama Elingcwele usuthuthukile kuwo wonke amahlelo futhi waze wafika emibuthanweni yamaPentecostal. Umsekeli wale nhlangano nguJonathan David Brown, oyilungu leqembu lomculo kaJesus uSeth, umdidiyeli weqembu le-rock yobuKristu iPetra, lapho umculi odumile u-Twila Paris nabanye abaculi abangamaKristu bacula khona. U-Jonathan David Brown waba ngowokuqala ukusabalalisa ngokubhala imfundiso yeSabatha lenyanga, manje esingena kuzo zonke izinhlobo zemibuthano yokugcinwa kweSabatha.

Ingabe iSabatha lisekelwe enyangeni?

ISabatha lenyanga livame ukulungisiswa kuGenesise 1:1,14. Lapho ilanga nenyanga kubelwa umsebenzi wokunquma isikhathi semikhosi (ngesiHeberu מועדים mo'adim), izinsuku neminyaka. Njengoba ilanga lanele ukunquma izinsuku neminyaka, kumelwe ukuba inyanga yayihloselwe ukunquma imikhosi. ULevitikusi 3 ubonakala enezela iSabatha kule mikhosi yezinyanga. Lena impikiswano ebalulekile emfundisweni yeSabatha lenyanga. Nokho, eminye imibhalo eminingi iwahlukanisa ngokucacile amaSabatha nemikhosi (מועדים mo'adim): 23 IziKronike 1:23,31; 2 IziKronike 2,4:8,13; 31,3:10,34; 2,6; Nehemiya 44,24:45,17; IsiLilo 2,13:XNUMX; Hezekeli XNUMX:XNUMX; XNUMX; Hoseya XNUMX:XNUMX . Futhi akukho lapho iSabatha lishiwo khona ngokuqondile njengedili (מועד mo'ed).

ISabatha nalo liwumkhosi, kodwa okhethekile. Impela kungenxa yokuthi ayisekelwe enyangeni futhi ithatha isigqi sayo kuphela eqinisweni lendalo yezinsuku eziyisithupha ukuthi iba usuku lwesikhumbuzo okuyilo. ISabatha kanye nalo isonto lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa likhetheke kakhulu ngoba azinasisekelo nhlobo sokufunda izinkanyezi. Ukwehlukaniswa kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa kuyazenzela futhi akusekelwe ezigabeni zenyanga. Ngokwenza kanjalo, idonsela ukunakekela ezintweni ezisemkhathini njengendalo kaNkulunkulu futhi igxile ngokuphelele kuMdali. Ukube bekungenjalo, leli sonto belingachazwa ngendlela eguquguqukayo.

Ngempela umuntu angase aphethe ngokusuka kuGenesise 1:1,14 ngokubaluleka kwenyanga ekhalendeni futhi alazise ikhalenda lamaJuda lenyanga, imikhosi yamaJuda esekelwe kulo. Kodwa leli vesi alisho lutho ngamaSabatha enyanga, afakwa nezinsuku ezithile zokugxuma phakathi kwamasonto ezinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

Ingabe siyamhlonipha uSaturn?

Abalandeli beSabatha Lenyanga bagxeka ukuqonda kwethu iSabatha ngokukhomba ukuthi uMgqibelo usuku lweSaturn. Ngakho, ngokugcina iSabatha, siyobe sikhulekela unkulunkulu ononya uSaturn, owadla wonke amadodana akhe ngaphandle kukaJupiter. Lokhu akunaki iqiniso lokuthi iSabatha lamasonto onke lidala kakhulu kunokuxhumana kwalo nonkulunkulu uSaturn ngegama. Izazi-mlando zikholelwa ukuthi amaRoma athatha isonto lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa kumaJuda futhi anikeza izinsuku zesonto amagama onkulunkulu bawo. Siyazi futhi ukuthi amaRoma asendulo, phakathi konkulunkulu bawo, aqhathanisa uSaturn nonkulunkulu wamaJuda ngakho-ke anikezela uMgqibelo kuSaturn. Kodwa lokho akuhlangene nokuzimisela kwangempela kweSabatha lamasonto onke.

NgesiHeberu akukho ukuxhumana phakathi kwezinsuku zesonto nonkulunkulu abathile, njengoba sinakho ezilimini eziningi zaseYurophu. Lapha izinsuku zibizwa ngokuthi: usuku lokuqala, usuku lwesibili, usuku lwesithathu, usuku lwesine, usuku lwesihlanu, usuku lwesithupha, iSabatha. Usuku ngalunye lwesonto seluvele luqondiswe eSabatheni elizayo futhi ngalokho kuqinisekisa ubuqiniso beSabatha lamasonto onke.

Buphi ubufakazi obungokomlando?

AmaKaraite, alandela inyanga ngokuqinile kakhulu kunobuJuda obungokwesiko, noma amanye amahlelo amaJuda emlandweni awake agcina iSabatha lenyanga. Ngisho nabaphostoli babelandela ikhalenda lomkhosi wamaJuda wesikhathi sabo. Abukho ubufakazi bokuthi bafuna ukuguqulwa kwekhalenda. Pho umuntu usithathaphi isiqiniseko sokuthi iSabatha lenyanga liyiSabatha lasebhayibhelini?

Isazi-mlando esingumJuda uFlavius ​​​​Josephus (AD 37-100) siyabika: “Alikho nelilodwa idolobha lamaGreki noma amaBarbari noma abanye abantu lapho isiko lethu lokuphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa lingazange lingene khona!” ( Mark Finley , Usuku Olucishe Lwalukhohlwa, Arkansas: Iqembu Elikhathazekile, 1988, ikhasi 60)

Umbhali ongumRoma uSextus Iulius Frontinus (40-103 AD) wabhala ukuthi “bahlasela amaJuda ngosuku lweSaturn, lapho benqatshelwe ukwenza noma yini engathi sína.” ( USamuele Bacchiocchi, Ukuhlasela Okusha Okumelene NeSabatha - Ingxenye 3, December 12, 2001) Usuku lweSaturn akwaziwa ukuthi luhambisana nokuthwasa kwenyanga.

Isazi-mlando uCassius Dio (AD 163-229) sithi: “Kanjalo iJerusalema labhujiswa ngalo kanye usuku lukaSaturn, usuku amaJuda aluhlonipha kakhulu kuze kube namuhla.” ( Ibid.)

UTacitus (AD 58–120) ubhala lokhu ngamaJuda: “Kuthiwa banikela ngosuku lwesikhombisa ukuze baphumule ngoba lolo suku lwaqeda izinkinga zabo. Kamuva, ngenxa yokuthi ukungenzi lutho kwakubonakala kulinga kubo, banikela njalo ngonyaka wesikhombisa ebuvilaleni. Abanye bathi benza lokhu ngokuhlonipha uSaturn."I-History, Incwadi V, ecashunwe ku: Robert Odom, ISabatha neSonto ebuKristwini Bakuqala, Washington DC: Buyekeza futhi Herald, 1977, ikhasi 301)

UPhilo wase-Alexandria (15 BC-40 AD) uyabhala: “Umthetho wesine ubhekisela osukwini lwesikhombisa olungcwele... AmaJuda agcina usuku lwesikhombisa njalo ngezikhathi ezithile zezinsuku eziyisithupha.” (IDecalogue, Incwadi XX ecashunwe kokuthi: ibid. p. 526) Lo mthombo wasekuqaleni awazi lutho ngokufakwa kwenyanga entsha noma izinsuku zokugxuma.

Ingabe lezi zicaphuno azikwenzi ucabange, uma ucabangela ukuthi namuhla wonke amaqembu amaJuda emhlabeni wonke agcina iSabatha ngoMgqibelo? AmaJuda awakaze aphikisane ngakho wanna iSabatha kufanele ligcinwe, okungenani kanjani izobanjwa nokuthi iqala ngasiphi isikhathi ngoLwesihlanu.

Ukuguqulwa kwekhalenda lamaJuda

Ukuguqulwa kwekhalenda lamaJuda ka-359 AD akuzange kusilahle isigqi seviki lenyanga esicatshangwayo manje, kodwa kunalokho ukubonwa kwemvelo kwenyanga nebhali njengezinkomba zezinyanga ezintsha kanye nokuqala konyaka. Kunalokho, ukwethwasa kwezinyanga nezinyanga ezigxumayo kwabalwa ngokwesayensi yezinkanyezi kanye nezibalo kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke. Nokho, akukho okushintshile emjikelezweni wamasonto onke.

Ubufakazi beTalmud

ITalmud ibhala imininingwane eminingi ngekhalenda, imikhosi, ukuthwasa kwenyanga, iSabatha lamasonto onke. Kungani kungakhulunywa lutho ngeSabatha lenyanga?

Ukwethwasa kwenyanga kungaba kanjani ngaphandle komjikelezo wamasonto onke lapho ufunda izingcaphuno ezilandelayo zeTalmud?

“Ukuthwasa kwenyanga kuhlukile kunomkhosi... Uma ukwethwasa kwenyanga ngeSabatha, indlu kaShammai yanquma ukuthi umuntu kufanele asho izibusiso eziyisishiyagalombili emthandazweni wakhe owenezela. Indlu kaHillel yanquma: eziyisikhombisa.« (Talmud, Eiruvin 40b) Nokho, ngokwemfundiso yeSabatha lenyanga, ukwethwasa kwenyanga kwakungeke kube ngeSabatha.

“Uma okweshumi nesithupha [kwePhasika] kungena ngeSabatha, zona (izingxenye zewundlu lePhasika) kufanele zishiswe ngolweshumi nesikhombisa, ukuze zingaphuli iSabatha noma umkhosi.” (Talmud, Pesachim 83a) imfundiso yeSabatha lenyanga, usuku lwe-16 lwaluyoba .kodwa njalo usuku olulandela iSabatha lenyanga.

Izingcaphuno zikwenza kucace ukuthi iSabatha lalingekho ezinsukwini ezimisiwe zomjikelezo wenyanga, kodwa lalihamba ngokuzimela unyaka wonke.

Zisho ukuthini izimpande zaseBabiloni zeSabatha lenyanga?

Kuthiwa abaseBabiloni babenesigqi samasonto onke esifana naleso esikhuthazwa abalandeli beSabatha LamaLunar. Kwaqala futhi ngokuthwasa kwenyanga futhi isonto lokugcina lenyanga lase linezinsuku ezingaphezu kweziyisikhombisa, njengasezifundisweni zanamuhla zeSabatha lenyanga. Kodwa kusukela nini iBabiloni lingaba nesibonelo esihle kithi?

AbaseBhabhiloni babegubha a ishaphathu eshiwo umkhosi wenyanga njalo ngomhlaka-7/14/21/28 yenyanga, okungukuthi usuku olulodwa ngaphambi kwamaSabatha enyanga okusolakala ukuthi. Abanye ososayensi basola ukuthi ama-Israyeli athatha umkhosi weSabatha enkolweni yenyanga yaseMesophothamiya futhi awususa emjikelezweni wenyanga lapho ezinza eKhanani. Nokho, ngokwenza kanjalo, baphika ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu futhi bachaza inkolo yamaJuda ngendlela yokuziphendukela kwemvelo, noma abakholelwa ekuphefumuleni kwemiBhalo, eye yalazi iSabatha kusukela ekudalweni kwayo.

Isonto lezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili lihlobana kanjani nomyalo wesine?

Kufanele umuntu aziphathe kanjani ngezinsuku ze-leap ngezinye izikhathi ezivela ekupheleni komjikelezo wenyanga? Kwakungeke kube izinsuku zokuphumula, futhi kwakungeke kube izinsuku zokusebenza. Kodwa umthetho wesine uthi: Uyakusebenza izinsuku eziyisithupha, uphumule ngolwesikhombisa! Kungani iBhayibheli lingaqondisi lokhu?

Kungani uEksodusi 2 engazange abonise ukuthi okungenani kanye ngenyanga ngoSuku Lokulungiselela kwakumelwe kubuthwe izikhathi ezintathu noma ezine uma ngempela kwakukhona impelasonto ende yezinsuku ezimbili noma ezintathu?

Lunini ngempela usuku lwenyanga entsha?

Kunezindlela eziningana zokunquma ukuthwasa kwenyanga: ngokwezinkanyezi, ngeso, kwa-Israel noma lapho uhlala khona, njll. Iyiphi indinganiso okufanele usebenzise? Ekuphileni okungokoqobo, abalandeli beSabatha lenyanga bangakwazi kanjalo ukuba nemikhosi yabo yeSabatha ihlukaniswe okungenani usuku olulodwa.

Ellen White kanye neSabatha Lenyanga

Bazizwa kanjani abagcini beSabatha Lenyanga ngalezi zinkulumo ezilandelayo zika-Ellen White? “Umjikelezo wamasonto onke wezinsuku eziyisikhombisa ezingokoqobo, eziyisithupha zokusebenza kanye nowesikhombisa ukuphumula, uvela eqinisweni elimangalisayo lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa zokuqala.” (izipho zomoya 3, 90)

“Ngabe sengibuyiselwa ekudaleni futhi ngabona ukuthi isonto lokuqala, lapho uNkulunkulu eqeda umsebenzi wokudala ngezinsuku eziyisithupha futhi ephumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa, lalifana ncamashí nanoma yiliphi elinye isonto. UNkulunkulu omkhulu, ezinsukwini zakhe zokudala nokuphumula, walinganisa umjikelezo wokuqala wesonto, owawuzoba isibonelo kuwo wonke amasonto alandelayo kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi.« (Umoya Wesiprofetho 1, 85)

Kungani ngizivumela ukuba ngithathwe eqhweni?

Umsuka womlando wemfundiso yeSabatha lamaNyanga kanye nemibuzo eminingi eyiphakamisayo ukhombisa ukuthi asihlangene nemfundiso yebhayibheli. Ngakho-ke iSabatha Lenyanga lingesakeni lesitha lamaqhinga. Kodwa-ke, labo abaphethe le mfundiso akufanele babonwe yithi njengezitha, kodwa njengabantu abadinga kakhulu imithandazo nothando lwethu. Ingabe asikazitholi yini kithi izimfanelo eziholela abantu ukuba bamukele lezi zimfundiso zamanga nezinye? Kungaba nezisusa ezinhle kakhulu zalokhu: Isifiso sokwenza kuphela lokho okubonakala kuyiqiniso kunembeza womuntu siqu, ngisho noma kuphambene negagasi. Noma: Umlilo wokuzinikela ofuna ukukhombisa uNkulunkulu ukuthi yikuphi ukuzidela ozimisele ukukwenza. Kodwa futhi ukholo oluhle, ukulangazelela i-eccentric futhi ngeshwa konke ukuziqhenya okuvame kakhulu. Bunempilo kangakanani ubudlelwano bomndeni wami kanye nomphakathi? Kungenzeka yini ukuthi sengivele nginendawo enganakekile empilweni yami yezenhlalo eye yangivulela imfundiso engase ilethe ukudideka okukhulu emsebenzini wami, emphakathini, nasempilweni yomphakathi? Akukona ize ukuthi udeveli abizwe ngokuthi ama-diabolos, okungukuthi, umenzi wokungcola. Ngoba ufuna ukubhuntshisa ngokuphelele ukuthunywa kwebandla likaNkulunkulu.

Ngivivinye, Nkosi!

Ngeshwa, ukuthatheka kusakazeke ikakhulukazi phakathi kwamakholwa: umuntu ukholelwa ngaphandle kokuhlola. Uyakwethemba ucwaningo lwabanye, hhayi ngoba izimpikiswano zabo zikholisa, kodwa ngoba zishaya ingwijikhwebu kithi. Ama-Adventist angabantu "abakholwayo", ngeshwa ngokuvamile "abakhohlisayo". Uma kukhona okunzima ukukwenza, yilapho uzizwa ukhuthazekile. Ngoba kufanele nginqobe i-ego yami! Mhlawumbe ukufela ukholo kuyingxenye yesithombe sakho? Abanye abantu bangaphandle baye benza ubuhle ngenxa yesidingo futhi ngokuzithandela baphephela kokungavamile, futhi okholweni lwabo. Okubi nakakhulu, uma sintula ukuthobeka, siyoduka naphezu kokuhlakanipha okuphakeme nokuba neqiniso.

Izindaba ezimnandi

Izindaba ezinhle: UNkulunkulu uyayazi indlela yokusisindisa kukho konke lokhu uma sikulangazelela ngobuqotho ukusindiswa futhi sizimisele ukwenza intando yakhe ngokumelene nentando yethu. Uzosinika ukuqonda, ulwazi lwentando Yakhe, ukulinganisela kanye nokuthobeka ekuphileni kwethu kokukholwa. Uzophinde agcwalise isizungu ngobukhona Bakhe futhi asiduduze. Uma sifuna ubuso bakhe ngobuqotho, uzosiholela emgomweni wethu - uma kunesidingo ngokuphambuka.
