KuLuka 21 uJesu wabikezela okwakuzokwehlela iJerusalema. Ngesikhathi esifanayo wayechaza lokho okuyokwenzeka ekupheleni komlando wezwe, ngaphambi nje kokuba iNdodana yomuntu ize “emafwini ezulu” inamandla nobukhazikhazi obukhulu. Phawula la mazwi: ‘Khona-ke, qaphelani, futhi ningavumeli ukuxhamazela kungapheli, noma izinkathazo zokuphila, funa lolo suku lunifikele ngokuzumayo njengogibe oluhlwithayo. Ngoba uyofika phezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni. Hlalani niqaphile futhi niqhubeke nithandaza ukuze nibe namandla okubalekela noma yini ezokwenzeka futhi nibhekane neNdodana yomuntu ngokuqiniseka.”— Luka 21,34:36-XNUMX ;

Lesi sixwayiso siya kwabathi bangamaKristu. Noma ubani onolwazi ngezimfundiso ezibalulekile zokwenza izinqumo zanamuhla kodwa nokho angakulungiseleli ukuza kweNdodana yoMuntu akazinaki lesi sixwayiso. Ngakho-ke, qaphela, futhi ungazivumeli ukuba ubanjwe obishini lokweqisa, noma ubanjwe yizinkathazo zokuphila, funa lolo suku lufike kuwe ngokuzumayo!” Akukaze kube khona izaba zokungabi nangqondo ngokomoya.

Yilabo kuphela abembethe ingubo yokulunga kukaJesu abangasinda ekwahlulelweni okuzayo emhlabeni. Singakhohlwa ukuthi la mazwi aphakathi kwamazwi okugcina uJesu awasho kubafundi bakhe. Lolu cingo kufanele luvele njalo emaphephandabeni nasezincwadini zethu. Impahla engabalulekile ngokuphindwe ngekhulu kufanele futhi ithathe indawo encane. Lezi zixwayiso ezingcwele, ezibucayi yizinsimbi zokuxwayisa. Amalungu eBandla kanye nabantu basemhlabeni ngokufanayo bayasidinga lesi sixwayiso; ngoba kuyiqiniso elikhona manje. - Izeluleko Kubabhali nabahleli, I-23-24.

Imbubhiso esondelayo

UJohane wabona ngamehlo akhe izenzakalo ezimbi eziyomemezela ukuza kukaJesu. Wabona amabutho ekhuphukela empini futhi abantu bequleka ngenxa yokwesaba (Luka 21,26:XNUMX). Wabona umhlaba ususwa endaweni, izintaba zidudulelwa olwandle, amagagasi azo ayegubha. Wabona izitsha zolaka zithululwa futhi isifo, indlala, nokufa kwehlela abakhileyo emhlabeni. - Buyekeza futhi Herald, January 11, 1887.

Kakade uMoya kaNkulunkulu wokulinganisa uyahoxa kancane emhlabeni. Iziphepho, iziphepho, izivunguvungu, imililo nezikhukhula, izinhlekelele emhlabeni nasemanzini zilandelana ngokulandelana ngokushesha. Isayensi izama ukuchaza lokhu. Izibonakaliso ziyaqina futhi zimemezele ukusondela kweNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Kushiwo zonke izimbangela ezingase zibe khona, hhayi ezangempela. Abantu abaqapheli ukuthi izingelosi eziqaphile zibamba imimoya emine kuphela kuze kube yilapho izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zibeka uphawu. Lapho-ke uNkulunkulu eyala izingelosi zakhe ukuba zidedele imimoya, izwe liyoguqulwa libe isenzakalo sombango okungekho nopeni ongasichaza. - Ubufakazi 6, 407; bona. ubufakazi 6, 406.

Akucabangeki kuwo wonke umuntu

Simi emngceleni wezenzakalo ezinkulu nezingathi sína. Lesi siprofetho sizogcwaliseka ngokushesha. INkosi isemnyango. Maduze sizongena esikhathini sentshisekelo enkulu kubo bonke abantu. Izimpikiswano zesikhathi esidlule zizovuselela; kuzovela izindaba ezintsha. Okuzokwenzeka emhlabeni wethu kudlula kude wonke amaphupho adlule. USathane usebenza ngamathuluzi abantu. Labo abazama ukuguqula umthethosisekelo nokushaya umthetho ogunyaza ukugujwa kweSonto abazi ukuthi lokhu kuzoholelaphi. Sisonqenqemeni lwenhlekelele. Kodwa izinceku zikaNkulunkulu akufanele zithembele kuzo ngokwazo kulesi sikhathi esikhulu sesidingo... Inkambo yezenzakalo ezizayo isesandleni sikaJehova. Ubukhosi bezulu bulawula mathupha isiphetho sezizwe kanye nezindaba zebandla. - Ubufakazi 5, 753; bona. ubufakazi 5, 785.

Sithenjiswe ukunqoba

Ikusasa elibalulekile liyaphuma manje. Kuzodingeka ukholo olukhulu, amandla kanye nokubekezela ukubekezelela izilingo nezilingo zabo, ukufeza imisebenzi yabo. Kodwa singathola ukunqoba okukhazimulayo. Akukho nowodwa umphefumulo olindile, obukele, othandazayo futhi okholwayo oyowela ngamaqhinga esitha. Wonke amazulu anesithakazelo enhlalakahleni yethu futhi alindele ukuba sicele ukuhlakanipha namandla alo. - Buyekeza futhi Herald, July 1, 1884.

Esikhathini esiseduze sokulingwa, uNkulunkulu uthembisa ukulondeka kubo bonke ‘abagcina izwi lakhe lokubekezela’ ( IsAmbulo 3,10:XNUMX ). - Buyekeza futhi Herald, January 11, 1887.

Kuyaphuthuma kakhulu!

Ukubuya kukaJesu kulo mhlaba akusekude ukufika. Lokho kufanele kube i-leitmotif yawo wonke umlayezo. - Ubufakazi 6, 405; bona. ubufakazi 6, 404.

Kungenzeka yini ukuthi iveli lihlehliswe, ubungabona izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu nezahlulelo eziyofika emhlabeni wethu olahliwe, futhi wawubona umbono wakho, ungathuthumela ngenxa yokwesaba imiphefumulo yakho kanye nemiphefumulo yabantu bakini. Imithandazo eqotho yayiyokhuphukela ezulwini ngokunxusa okusuka enhliziyweni. Ubuyokhala “phakathi kwegceke ne-altare” futhi uvume ubumpumputhe bakho bokomoya nokuhlehla. - Ubufakazi 6, 408; bona. ubufakazi 6, 407.

Isikhathi sokudla okuqinile

Usuku seluvele luthuthuke kakhulu "ngokuphakela ubisi." Uma imiphefumulo eseqinisweni inyanga eyodwa noma ezimbili futhi esezobhekana nosizi olungakaze lube khona ngaphambili, ingakwazi ukuzwa iqiniso elisobala noma ibekezelele ukudla okuqinile kwendlela eqondile, iyoma kanjani ngosuku lwempi? Amaqiniso esithathe iminyaka ukuwazi azokwaziwa ezinyangeni ezimbalwa yilabo abemukela isigijimi sengelosi yesithathu namuhla.

Sabe sesifuna ngesineke ukwambulwa kweqiniso, siqoqa imisebe yokukhanya lapha nalaphaya, silwela, futhi sinxuse uNkulunkulu ukuthi asembulele iqiniso. Kodwa manje iqiniso lisobala, imisebe yabo igxile. Ukukhanya okukhanyayo kweqiniso, lapho kwethulwe kahle, kuyabonakala futhi kusebenze ezinhliziyweni. Lapho imiphefumulo isiqinisekile ngeqiniso, ubisi alusadingeki. Uma usuzivule ngokugcwele eqinisweni futhi inhliziyo isilungile, iqiniso lizosebenza. Njengemvubelo kuyosebenza, igeze izinkanuko zenhliziyo yemvelo futhi ihlanze isimilo. Kuyihlazo uma amakholwa aneminyaka eseqinisweni ethi imiphefumulo enezinyanga ezimbalwa nje iseqinisweni isaludinga “ubisi”. Kukhombisa ukuthi abaqondi kahle ukuthi uMoya weNkosi uhola kanjani nokuthi abakasiboni isikhathi esiphila kuso. Noma ubani owamukela iqiniso namuhla angathuthuka ngokushesha. Inhliziyo ingahle idabuke phambi kukaJehova; inhliziyo kufanele idatshulwe, kungabi yizingubo. Ngo-1854 - Ukukhishwa kwe-Manuscript 1, 33
