Isikhathi sokufunda: imizuzu eyi-19

Usuku lwalulude futhi lukhathaza kakhulu. Ukuxabana okukhulu phakathi kukaJesu nabaholi benkolo bomuzi waseJerusalema kwase kuphelile. Ngokuhoxiswa kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, eyayingasafihlwa efwini njengoba yayinjalo ngaphambili, kodwa manje esenyameni yomuntu ( Johane 1,9.14:23,38, 39 ), ukuba khona kwasezulwini kwase kuphumile ekugcineni endlini kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema ( Mathewu XNUMX:XNUMX ) -XNUMX). Kodwa njengoba abafundi bekhuphuka kancane kancane eNtabeni Yeminqumo futhi bephenduka, baphinde babhekana nombono omangalisayo weThempeli laseJerusalema.

»Iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amane, ingcebo, umsebenzi kanye nobuciko bezakhiwo kunikeze leli thempeli ubukhazikhazi obulokhu bukhula njalo. UHerode Omkhulu waba nengxenye ebukhazikhazini balesi sakhiwo esimangalisayo ephuma engcebweni yamaRoma nasendaweni yengcebo yamaJuda; Ngisho nombusi wombuso wezwe wayenikele ngakho: izingcezu ezinkulu zemabula emhlophe, ubukhulu bazo obubonakala bufana nenganekwane, babuyiswa eRoma.”impikiswano enkulu, 24) Yingakho nabafundi babeziqhenya ngalesi sakhiwo. Amaphupho abo ayezungeza leli dolobha futhi uJesu njengeNkosi yesikhathi esizayo yaseJerusalema.

»Nkosi, bheka nje! Yeka amatshe! Futhi hlobo luni lwezakhiwo?« ( Marku 13,1:21,5 ) “ehlotshiswe ngamatshe amahle nangezipho ezingcwelisiwe” ( Luka XNUMX:XNUMX ), kusho omunye wabo. Kodwa imizwa yeNkosi yayibonakala iyize yomuntu lapho bonke abantu abafayo bethambekele kakhulu kubo. Kwamangala bonke, uJesu waphendula wathi: “Anikuboni konke lokhu na? Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, lapha kuzakuba khona alikho itshe elishiywe lingaphenduki kusale abangayikunqunywa!” ( Mathewu 24,2:XNUMX )

Ama-Microcosms asendulo

Amazwi kaJesu ashaqisayo ngethempeli likaNkulunkulu nomuzi wakhe ahlanganisa izixwayiso eziningi ezingokwesiprofetho ku-Israyeli uNkulunkulu ayezinikeze u-Israyeli ngaphambi ‘kosuku lukaJehova. Abaprofethi base belumemezele kakade lolu suku lokwahlulela emizini yesikhathi sabo ezono zabo zase zidlule isilinganiso sokubekezela kukaNkulunkulu. Ingozi yabo yayiyingcaca Ama-Microcosms yokwahlulelwa okuyokwenzeka ekupheleni kwezwe njengembulunga yonke neplanethi macrocosm akunakugwenywa. Khona-ke zona lezi zono ezachitha leyo mizi ziyoba incithakalo emhlabeni wonke.

Abafundi bakaJesu nabo bakuzwisisa lokhu. Njengofakazi bokuza kukaMesiya othenjisiwe, bacabanga... usuku lweNkosiUsuku ayezofika ngalo futhi abhubhise iJerusalema kumelwe kube usuku uJesu aphuma ngalo ezulwini futhi ezoqeda lelizwe lesono. Ngakho ngemva nje kwemizuzwana babuza: “Kuyokwenzeka nini lokhu, futhi siyoba yini isibonakaliso sokubuya kwakho nesokuphela kwezwe?” ( Mathewu 24,3:1,6 ) Futhi lapho uJesu kamuva enyukela ezulwini futhi ephinda isithembiso. ngokubuya kwakhe, baphinde bababuza: “Nkosi, ingabe usubuyisela ubukhosi kuIsrayeli ngalesi sikhathi na?” ( IzEnzo XNUMX:XNUMX ) Ngakho

Usuku lukaJehova

Bathini abaprofethi basendulo ‘ngosuku lukaJehova’? Makube usuku olumuncu

• usuku lolaka” ( Hezekeli 22,24:2,22; IsiLilo 1,15:XNUMX; Zefaniya XNUMX:XNUMX )
• usuku lokwesaba nolosizi” ( Zefaniya 1,15:13,6; Isaya 19,16:30,5ff; 7:1,15; Jeremiya 16:12-15; Joweli XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX; Obadiya XNUMX-XNUMX )
• “usuku lwempindiselo”, “lokubuyisela,” “incithakalo nokubhujiswa” ( Isaya 34,8:63,4; 46,10:47,4; Jeremiya 50,27:28; 1,15:XNUMX; XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX; Zefaniya XNUMX:XNUMX )
• usuku lobumnyama nesigayegaye” ( Hezekeli 30,2:3-1,14; Zefaniya 15:5,18-20; Amose XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX )
• usuku lukaShopharschall kanye lokuhlaba umkhosi ngemizi enezivikelo eziqinile nasezinqabeni eziphakemeyo” ( Zefaniya 1,16:XNUMX ).

Kulo mongo omangalisayo, ingabe kufanele sicabange ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenza ngokwedlulele, njengoba kuvamile phakathi kwabantu? Cha. Ukuze kungabi nakungabaza ngobulungisa bezahlulelo zakhe, simbona ebiza inkantolo yasezulwini yophenyo. Kungemva kwesahlulelo sakhe kuphela lapho engenela khona (Genesise 1:18,20ff; Zefaniya 1,12:7,9; Daniyeli 10:XNUMX-XNUMX).

Ngaphezu kwalokho, akuzona izingelosi kuphela okufanele zaziswe ngecala uNkulunkulu aliqalile ngokumelene nesizwe esimangalelwe. Izakhamuzi zasemadolobheni asatshiswa ngokucekelwa phansi kumele zaziswe. Kungakho izithunywa uNkulunkulu azithumayo ukuba zimemezele isahlulelo, zona zibe njengabahluleli ( Hoseya 7,1:2-8,13; 9,9:10,2; 13:12; 1,12:XNUMX; XNUMX, XNUMX ). Naphezu kwezixwayiso zikaNkulunkulu, lolu suku oluyinhlekelele lwaqhubeka lumangaza abangakholwa “abalala ezinyaweni zabo, bethi ezinhliziyweni zabo: ‘UJehova akenzi okuhle noma okubi!’ ( Zefaniya XNUMX:XNUMX ) Ngakho-ke, le nhlekelele yayilokhu iqhubeka.

UNkulunkulu wabajezisa ngani abantu kulezo zibonelo ezincane zoSuku Lokugcina? Ngokuka-Isaya, lokhu kuyalulaza Usuku Lwaphakade “amehlo abantu abazidlayo” futhi alulaze “abangcwele ukuziqhenya wabantu,” ukuze kuphakanyiswe uJehova kuphela ( Isaya 2,11:12-14,12; 13:50,29-32; Jeremiya XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX ). Yingakho ukubhujiswa kuza ngokuyinhloko ngezimpawu zomuntu ukuzidla, isibonelo »mayelana nawo wonke umuntu umbhoshongo ophakeme futhi mayelana ngamunye udonga oluqinile« wemizi (Isaya 2,15:27,5). Yeka ukuthi ziyize kanjani zonke izihlangu eziyisivikelo umuntu azama ukucasha ngazo ngaphandle kokuphephela endaweni okuwukuphela kwayo ephephile uNkulunkulu ayinikezayo! ( IHubo 31,19:23; 36,7:8-91; XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX; XNUMX ).

Njengoba abantu abaningi, ngenxa yokukhathazeka nokwesaba ikusasa, bazicabangela bona kuphela futhi bengasaboni ngabampofu, ukwahlulelwa kwalolo suku nakho kuqondiswe kubo »enkulu futhi enhle« Impahla abazabele ngokungafanele. “Maye kulabo abenezela enye indlu kwenye, insimu kwenye, kuze kungasekho ndawo futhi nihlale nodwa phakathi nezwe!” ( Isaya 5,8.9:2,13, 14 ) Ukuhlubuka kokuziphatha nobuzenzisi obungokomoya okwabangela ukuba kube khona obala. okuhloselwe ukukusibekela akuphunyuki emehlweni abaprofethi ngisho nangaphansi kwenala ewubukhazikhazi bezinto ezibonakalayo ( Isaya 4,12:14-XNUMX; Hoseya XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX ).

Nokho konke akuwona ubumnyama nencithakalo ngosuku lukaJehova. Lapho ethululela isahlulelo sakhe phezu kwemizi emibi, uNkulunkulu akasoze akhohlwa ukusindisa insali yakhe ethembekile ( Isaya 1,11:12ff; 30,26.29; 3,16:12,17, 14,12; Joweli 15,1:16ff). Ngokufanayo, ekupheleni kwezwe, lapho, ngokwesAmbulo, ethulula izinhlupho zolaka Lwakhe phezu komhlaba wonke, ngeke ayikhohlwe insali egcina imiyalo yaKhe ( IsAmbulo 17,14:XNUMX; XNUMX:XNUMX; XNUMX; XNUMX; XNUMX; XNUMX:XNUMX). Ngamanye amazwi: kokubili ku- Ama-Microcosms kwabantu basendulo kanye nezinga leplanethi macrocosm Namuhla, uSuku lukaJehova luwusuku lokuqhathanisa: inhlekelele emhlabeni, kodwa ukukhululwa nokuhlengwa kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu.

Izahlulelo ze-microcosmic zikhomba esahlulelweni esiphelele nesokugcina.

IBhayibheli likhuluma kuphela ngezahlulelo ezimbili eziphelele: uzamcolo eminyakeni engaba ngu-4000 edlule (uGenesise 1-6) kanye nokuphela komhlaba ngomlilo osekuseduze (8 Petru 2:3,6-7,10). Ngaphandle kweminyaka engu-120 yesimemezelo sikaNowa, asifundi okuningi ngendlela uNkulunkulu axwayisa ngayo umhlaba wangaphambi kwezikhukhula ngenhlekelele enkulu eyenzeka. Nokho, mayelana nenhlekelele yesibili yendawo yonke esiphokophele kuyo, asinakho nje kuphela isimemezelo sabaprofethi, kodwa futhi sinezahlulelo ezincane zangaphambili uNkulunkulu ahambela ngazo izizwe esikhathini esidlule. Esikhundleni sokubuka abantu ngokunganaki futhi sibavumele bagijimele ekubhujisweni okukhulu kokugcina, sibona uNkulunkulu engenela ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuze anqande ububi futhi avimbele ukuhlubuka komuntu ukuba kusabalale yonke indawo ngaphambi kwesikhathi sakho.

Njengoba izahlulelo zakhe zilinganiselwe ezindaweni ezithile futhi asindise abanye abantu, zibizwa nangokuthi izahlulelo zesihe. Zihloselwe ukwenza abantu bazi ngengozi ababhekene nayo nokuthi yini ebalindele. Lokhu kwashukumisela lo mprofethi ukuba athi: “Ngokushesha lapho izahlulelo zakho zishaya umhlaba, abakhileyo ezweni bayofunda ukulunga.” ( Isaya 26,9:XNUMX ) Izindlu zokukhulekela ziyaphinda zigcwale, abantu babuza imibuzo eminingi futhi baya ngokuya beba namandla. avuleleke kakhulu evangelini.

Kodwa yiziphi izinduku zokuyala uNkulunkulu azisebenzisayo? Ingabe kuhlala kunesomiso, iziphepho nezifo? Ingabe uhlale engenela ngokuqondile? Cha. Ukuze angaqali umlilo ovamile nowomhlaba wonke, njengoba kulindelekile ekupheleni kwezwe, uNkulunkulu uvame ukusebenzisa abanye abantu abangamazi ukuze ajezise amadolobha anonya, kodwa izono zabo ezingakafinyeleli ezingeni lokubekezela kwaphezulu. .

Ngale ndlela, umbuso wase-Asiriya waba “yisigxobo” “solaka” lwakhe, nakuba inkosi yawo yayingazi ngakho (Isaya 10,5:7-4,17). Ngokushesha nje lapho iziyalo ezimbi ezinjalo sezilifezile icebo lalowo obeka futhi asuse amakhosi ( Daniyeli 6,20:21; 10,10:14-15 ) Ngokushesha uNkulunkulu uqhubeka nokubhubhisa “ukuzidla” kanye “namehlo aziqhenyayo” ( Isaya XNUMX . :XNUMX) -XNUMX) ukujezisa lababantu futhi. “Izembe liyaqhosha ngolishayayo na? Noma isaha liyaqhosha ngalowo olisebenzisayo? Njengokungathi induku inyakazisa ophakamisayo, njengokungathi induku iphakamisa ongeyena umuthi!” ( Ivesi XNUMX )

Uma izahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu zifezwa abajezisi abanonya abangaqapheli ukuthi bafeza intando kaNkulunkulu, unkulunkulu umane udlala indima yokuba umahluleli wekusasa. Njengomdali walo mhlaba, uyahoxisa isivikelo sakhe edolobheni elilahliwe futhi ngaleyo ndlela anikeze umbhubhisi nesitha ukufinyelela. Kuyokwenzeka kanjalo emhlabeni wonke lapho imimoya yenkanuko yomuntu idedelwa yizingelosi ezine uNkulunkulu azibeke emagumbini omane omhlaba ukuze zinqande ububi bembulunga yonke futhi zinqande ukubhujiswa kokugcina ( IsAmbulo 7,1: 3-7,2 ; qhathanisa noDaniyeli XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX; XNUMX).

Ingabe asekhona ama-microcosms okwahlulela kokugcina namuhla?

Ukuphela komhlaba ngaphandle kwesizwe sakwa-Israyeli futhi ngaphandle kwethempeli laso? Lokho kwakungekho emiqondweni yabafundi. Njengoba endulo uSuku Lwaphakade lwalufikele izizwe ezingamaqaba nakubantu bazo, zazicabanga ukuthi incithakalo yaseJerusalema yayiyovela lapho kubhujiswa umhlaba. Ngale ndlela baxuba i-microcosm yosuku lwabo ne-macrocosm yokuphela. Kodwa uJesu walucabangela ubandlululo lwabo lobuzwe futhi ngozwela wazixuba lezi zenzakalo ezimbili. Uma amehlo abo evuleka, babeyoqaphela futhi ukuthi ukubhujiswa okuseduze kweJerusalema amaRoma kwakungeke kube ukuphela, kodwa esinye isibonelo sokubhujiswa kwezwe ( 1 Korinte 10,6.11: XNUMX, XNUMX ).

Lokhu kuholela embuzweni olandelayo: Siphila ezweni lapho izibonakaliso zendawo yonke ezakhonjwa ngabaprofethi nabaphostoli basendulo kanye neNdodana kaNkulunkulu zigcwaliseka khona. Singalindela izibonelo ezincane ezintsha zokubhujiswa kokugcina? Yebo. Yilokhu uJesu akhuluma ngakho ngesikhathi sokuphela: “Kodwa niyozwa ngezimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi,” esho. Kodwa futhi waxwayisa: “Xwayani, ningethuki; ngoba konke lokhu kumele kwenzeke; kodwa kunjalo hhayi isiphetho okwamanje” ( Mathewu 24,6:XNUMX )

Ekhulwini lama-20, lapho kuqala izimpi zezwe ezimbili, abaningi babekholelwa ukuthi ukuphela kwase kuqalile. Bawakhohlwa lawa mazwi eNkosi uJesu. Amabutho ezizwe ahlangana futhi ekupheleni kwalelo khulu leminyaka ngokumelene ne-Iraq, futhi kwaphinde kwasakazwa amahlebezi okuthi i-Armagedoni isifikile, impi yezwe yokugcina okukhulunywa ngayo ku-Apocalypse ( IsAmbulo 16,16:XNUMX ). Kodwa isiphetho asikafiki. “Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela esinye, nombuso uvukele omunye,” kuqhuba iNkosi uJesu, “kuyakuba-khona indlala, nezifo eziwumshayabhuqe, nokuzamazama komhlaba lapha nalaphaya. Konke lokhu yikho Ukuqala komsebenzi.’ Okusho ukuthi, lezi izahlulelo ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ngisho noma lezi zinkulu ngesilinganiso kunezinkantolo zasendulo, zisenjalo kungakabi isiphetho uqobo lwaso.

Lapho izahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu zikhishwa amandla amabi, abalungile nabangalungile bavame ukuhlupheka. Ngakho, ngokwesiko lamaJuda, uJeremiya wafa ngoba wakhandwa ngamatshe ngenxa yokuprofetha ngokubhujiswa kweJerusalema abaseBabiloni. UDaniyeli nabangane bakhe abathathu baboshwa kanye nabanye abasinda ekubhujisweni. Lamazwi alandelayo oMsindisi asebenza kwabangenacala okufanele bahlupheke ngaphansi kwezimo ezinjalo: “Ningabesabi ababulala umzimba, kodwa bengenamandla okubulala umphefumulo; Kunalokho yesabani lowo ongabhubhisa umphefumulo nomzimba esihogweni!” ( Mathewu 10,28:XNUMX )

Ngalezi zahlulelo ezinomkhawulo, uJehova ufuna ukuvusa abantu nezizwe eqinisweni lokuthi ukwahlulela okufanele kuseduze, okungenakutholwa kukho umusa (Isambulo 16).

“Isiprofetho soMsindisi ngesahlulelo esiyofika eJerusalema sizoba nokunye ukugcwaliseka. Ukubhujiswa okubi kweyokuqala kwaba ukubonakaliswa okuncane nje kwesibili. Kwehlelwa yini umuzi okhethiwe kukhombisa ukuthi isiphi isahlulelo esiyotholwa umhlaba esilahla umusa kaNkulunkulu futhi sinyathele umthetho Wakhe... imiphumela yokwenqaba igunya lezulu … baqhathanisa nokwesaba kwangalolo suku lapho uMoya kaNkulunkulu olinganiselayo uyohoxiswa ngokuphelele kwabangamesabi uNkulunkulu, futhi ngeke usabamba ukuqubuka kwenkanuko yomuntu kanye nolaka lukaSathane! Khona-ke izwe liyobona, kunanini ngaphambili, imiphumela emibi yokubusa kukaSathane.” (impikiswano enkulu, 36)

Njengasemandulo futhi “ngokunemba okungenaphutha, Ongapheli ugcina amarekhodi abantu. Inqobo nje uma enikeza umusa wakhe futhi ebiza ukuphenduka, i-akhawunti ngeke ivalwe. Kodwa uma izinombolo zifinyelela inani elithile uNkulunkulu alimisile, ulaka Lwakhe luyaqala. Bese kukhishwa ibhalansi. Ukubekezela kukaNkulunkulu sekuphelile. Umusa akasakhulumeli amadoda.« (Abaprofethi naMakhosi, 364)

“Mkhulu umusa ababonisa wona ngokubiza ukuphenduka; kodwa lapho icala labo lifinyelela umkhawulo othize obekwe nguNkulunkulu, Umusa uyayeka ukuncenga futhi ulaka luyaqala.« (Impilo kaPawuli, 318)

Isibikezelo esiyisiprofetho sokubhujiswa kweWorld Trade Center

Eminyakeni engaba yikhulu ngaphambi kokuba izakhiwo ezaziyizakhiwo ezimangalisa kakhulu emhlabeni ziwe eNew York ngo-September 11, 2001, umboni wemibono wama-Adventist wabona lesi senzakalo futhi wachaza izizathu zokuthi kungani uNkulunkulu avumela le nhlekelele ukuba yenzeke. Wenza lokhu ngendlela izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu endulo ezazikwenza ngayo. Iziprofetho zabo azifani nezikaNostradamus nanoma isiphi esinye isangoma noma isazi sekusasa abantu abaphendukela kuye namuhla ngaphandle kokuma kwangempela ngezenzakalo.

Eminyakeni emithathu ngaphambi kokubhujiswa kwedolobha laseSan Francisco ngokuzamazama komhlaba ngo-1906, u-Ellen White wamemezela ukuthi leli dolobha lalizohanjelwa ngokushesha ngesahlulelo saphezulu.Umcimbi wosuku lokugcina, 114). Uphinde wamemezela ukuthi "izehlakalo zenhlekelele yaseSan Francisco zizophindwa kwezinye izindawo... Izinkantolo esezifikile," echaza, "zi isixwayiso ngesijezisookuzakwehlela imizi emibi, kodwa hhayi ukuthinta kokuqeda.” (isib.)

Isitatimende esilandelayo sango-1901 sibonisa ukuthi kwakuyoba namanye ama-microcosm anomthelela emhlabeni wonke: “Izikhumbuzo ezithophayo usayizi womuntu iyophahlazeka ibe uthuli ngaphambi kokuba ukubhujiswa okukhulu kokugcina kufike phezu kwezwe.” (Umcimbi wosuku lokugcina, 111) Amaphephandaba ansuku zonke asebenzisa inkulumo efanayo lapho echaza ukuhlaselwa kwe-Twin Towers eNew York. Bheka i-Clarín kusukela ngo-Okthoba 17, 2001: "Uphawu olukhulu kunazo zonke lwe-capitalism emhlabeni seluvele lwaba uthuli" (http://edant.clarin.com/diario/2001/10/17/i-311171.htm)

"Lezi zakhiwo eziziqhenyayo zizophenduka umlotha" (Umcimbi wosuku lokugcina, 111) »Izindawo zokuhlala ezibizayo, Izimangaliso zobuciko bezakhiwo werden kusukela manje kuyalingana izobhujiswa lapho uJehova ebona ukuthi abanikazi beqile umkhawulo wokuthethelela... [njengesithombe] sokuthi ukwakheka komhlaba nakho kuzoba incithakalo ngokushesha kangakanani.” (ibid., 112)

Wathi: “Abantu bazoqhubeka nokwakha izakhiwo ezibizayo ezibiza izigidi, kuzogxilwa ngokukhethekile ebuhleni bazo nokwakhiwa kwazo okuqinile, kodwa uJehova ungitshele ukuthi naphezu kokuzinza nokubiza okungavamile kwalezi zakhiwo. izohlanganyela isiphetho sethempeli langaphambili laseJerusalema."(UKristu uyeza masinyane, 81; bona. Imicimbi Yosuku Lokugcina 112) Ngamanye amazwi: nalapha, alikho itshe eliyoshiywa lingaphendulwanga.

Mayelana nalokhu, kufanele kukhunjulwe ukuthi ngemva kokubhujiswa kweJerusalema, abantu bafuna igolide elalincibilikile emlilweni futhi lageleza emifantwini phakathi kwamatshe. Ngokwenza kanjalo, baphenduka wonke amatshe abeyohlala endaweni yawo, egcwalisa ngokoqobo lokho iNkosi uJesu eyayikubikezele. Amathani egolide nawo agqitshwa lapho izakhiwo zaseNew York ziwa. Konke kuphinde kuqotshwe futhi, hhayi nje ukuhlanza indawo, kodwa futhi nokubuyisela la magugu ahlaba umxhwele.

Ngo-1904, yena lo mbhali wabhala: “Ngobunye ubusuku ngaboniswa izakhiwo [eNew York] ukuthi... Iphansi nephansi ukuya esibhakabhakeni lakhula. Lezi zakhiwo zazibhekwa njengeziqinisekisiwe ezingashi futhi zakhiwe ukuze Ukudumisa umnikazi nomakhi. Okuphezulu nangaphezulu izakhiwo zanqwabelana; impahla ebiza kakhulu yayisetshenziswa ekwakheni. Kodwa abanikazi bawo abazange bazibuze umbuzo othi: “Singamkhazimulisa kanjani uNkulunkulu kangcono?” Babengacabangi ngoJehova. Ngathi enhliziyweni yami, “O, ukube wonke umuntu otshala imali yakhe ngale ndlela ubengabona izenzo zakhe ngamehlo kaNkulunkulu! Bangase bakhe izakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu, kodwa yeka ukuthi amacebo abo nezinto abaziqambile ziwubuwula kanjani emehlweni aLowo obusa indawo yonke! Abafuni ngezinhliziyo nezingqondo zabo zonke izindlela zokudumisa uNkulunkulu. Ngeshwa, balahlekelwe umbono walo msebenzi ophakeme kakhulu womuntu. Njengoba lezi zikhundla eziphakeme ziphakama, abanikazi babeziqhenya ngesibindi ngokuba nemali yokwanelisa izifiso zabo futhi bavuse umona komakhelwane babo. Imali eningi ababeyitshale lapha bayithola ngokuqola, ngokucindezelwa kwabampofu. Babekhohliwe ukuthi yonke imisebenzi yebhizinisi ibhalwa ezulwini nokuthi zonke izenzo ezingalungile nazo zonke izenzo zokukhwabanisa zibhalwa lapho. Kuzofika isikhathi lapho ukukhohlisa nokungahloniphi kwabantu kuzofinyelela umkhawulo okungafanele baweqe; khona bayakubona ukuthi ukubekezela kukaJehova kulinganisiwe.

Isiqephu esilandelayo esadlula phambi kwami ​​kwaba i-alamu yomlilo. Abantu abuke eziphakeme nezakhiwo okuthiwa azishi futhi wathi: “Ziphephe ngokuphelele.” [Abaningi bafa ngoba batshelwa ukuba babuyele ezihlalweni zabo, ukuthi izakhiwo zaziphephile.] Kepha i
Izakhiwo zazidliwa sengathi ezakhiwe ngamabhadi. Izicishamlilo zazingenawo amandla okubhekana nokucekela phansi futhi izicishamlilo azikwazanga ukuzisebenzisa. Ngakubona, lokho abantu abaziqhenyayo, abathanda ukuvelela abanezinhliziyo ezingaphenduki unomphelaLapho isikhathi sikaJehova sifika, siyothola ukuthi isandla esisindisile ngamandla amakhulu siyobhubhisa ngamandla amakhulu. Awekho amandla emhlabeni angavimba isandla sikaNkulunkulu. Azikho izinto ezisetshenziselwa ukwakha izakhiwo namuhla ezingamelana nokubhujiswa lapho kufika isikhathi sikaNkulunkulu esimisiwe abantu bayovuzwa ngokungawunaki kwabo umthetho wakhe nezifiso zabo zobugovu” (Ubufakazi beBandla 9, 12-13)

Ngo-1906, u-Ellen White waba nomunye umbono wokwesaba. Kodwa lapho akazange atshelwe igama lomuzi awubona. Mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi abanye abashumayeli, ngemva kokuchaza iNew York, ngokungazelelwe bathi leli dolobha lalizobhujiswa ukuzamazama kolwandle, ngaleyo ndlela bahlanekezele izitatimende zabo ( Incwadi 176, 1903). Namuhla, cishe ngemva kweminyaka eyikhulu, sihlatshwa umxhwele ukufana kwalo mbono nezehlakalo zokucekelwa phansi kweWorld Trade Center.

"Bekade ngi edolobheniAngazi ukuthi kuphi, futhi ngezwa ukuqhuma ngemva kokuqhuma. Ngokushesha ngahlala embhedeni, ngalunguza efasiteleni ngabona amabhola amakhulu omlilo. Kusukela kulokhu Izinhlansi zidubule ngendlela yemicibisholo futhi wonke amabhlogo ezakhiwo adilika. Emizuzwini embalwa ibhilidi lonke labhidlika futhi ngezwa kahle ukuklabalasa nokububula. Ngihlezi ngiqondile, ngamemeza kakhulu ukuze ngithole ukuthi kwenzekani: Ngikuphi? Uphi umndeni wethu? Ngabe sengiphaphama kodwa ngaphinda ngangakwazi ukuthi ngikuphi. Ngoba bengingekho ekhaya. « (Ukukhishwa kwe-Manuscript 11, 918)

Ukucabangisisa okungenakugwemeka

Amaphephandaba ansuku zonke achaza le mibhoshongo engamawele, eyadilika kanye nezinye izakhiwo eziphakeme, njengophawu “lwamandla omuntu” kanye “namandla omnotho” ayethotshisiwe. Kwenzeka enkabeni yesikhungo sezomnotho emhlabeni futhi kwathinta kakhulu izimakethe zomhlaba. »Ikusasa lethu lezomnotho lisengcupheni.

I-New York, wonke umuntu wavuma, ngeke aphinde abe idolobha elifanayo. Nakuba izandla ezihlanekezelwe nezibulalayo zabangela ukubhujiswa, noma ubani okholelwa ngempela kuNkulunkulu kumelwe azibuze ukuthi kungani uNkulunkulu evumele isenzo sonya esingaka.

Kodwa esikhundleni sokuthula, isishayo sempi nencithakalo siyabuya kungazelelwe.

Akunakuba lesi sikhathi umphostoli uPawulu akhuluma ngaso, lapho ekupheleni komhlaba yonke into ithatha indawo yonke? Ngisho noma isiphetho singakafiki, angeke kuphikwe ukuthi lokhu kungaba isendlalelo sezehlakalo zokugcina. “Ngokuba nazi kahle,” kusho umphostoli, “ukuthi usuku lweNkosi luyakufika njengesela ebusuku. Ngokuba uma bethi: 'Ukuthula nokulondeka,' khona-ke inhlekelele iyobahlasela ngokuzumayo njengemihelo yowesifazane okhulelweyo, futhi ngeke baphunyuke. Kepha nina, bazalwane, anikho ebumnyameni, ukuba usuku lunifice njengesela... Ngakho masingalali njengabanye, kepha masiphaphame, sisanguluke. …Ngokuba uNkulunkulu akasimiselanga ulaka, kodwa ukuzuza insindiso ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu” (1 Thesalonika 5,2:9-XNUMX).
