Kwiminyaka edlulileyo, kuye kwakho iingxoxo ezininzi kunye neengxoxo malunga nendalo kunye nendaleko, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwebandla. Ngenxa yenkcazo yenzululwazi yehlabathi ephuma kwingqondo yenyama yomntu, ongabehlabathi, icawa ngokuthe ngcembe yaqalisa ukuthandabuza inyaniso yeLizwi likaThixo elithi, UThixo nguMdali wezulu nomhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi. Bayazibuza, uThixo wadala izulu nomhlaba ngeentsuku ezintandathu? Okanye…
Amakholwa enyama akafuni ukubonakala ngathi usisidenge okanye usisidenge
Ngelishwa, ababaninzi abakholwayo abayibethelelayo inyama yabo emnqamlezweni. Abakhange bancama obabo ubomi kuYesu Kristu kwaye usahamba ngokwenyama. Ngenxa yoko, ayinamsebenzi into yokuba abanye bacinga ntoni ngabo. Abafuni kujongwa njengezidenge okanye izidenge, kodwa bafuna ukuphila njengehlabathi baze bathandwe baze bamkelwe lihlabathi. Ke ngoko abaninzi baye bahlengahlengisa kwaye watshintsha iLizwi likaThixo kwiziphumo zabo, izimvo, kunye nefilosofi, eziphuma kwingqondo yenyama neziphenjelelwa ziimfundiso zenzululwazi zomntu. Oku kuye kwabangela ukuba abaninzi balityeshele iLizwi likaThixo.
Kodwa abo, abangakholwayo kwaye abangahlali benyanisekile kwiLizwi likaThixo, kodwa bakholelwa kwindaleko, eyimfundiso yomntu, hayi abakaThixo, ngenxa yokuba bengamphulaphuli kwaye abahambi Indlela yakhe, kodwa phulaphula amazwi abantu benyama kwaye bangene kwiindlela abazikhethele bona.
Wonke umntu uyakholwa
Basenokuthi, ukuba bangamaKristu yaye bayakholelwa kuThixo nokuba ukholo lwabo luyinxalenye enkulu yobomi babo yaye lubomeleza. Kodwa ukholo lwabo lwakhiwe phezu kwesiphi isiseko?
UMtyholi needemon nabo bayakholelwa kuThixo. Bakholelwa ukuba uThixo ukho, mhlawumbi nangaphezulu kunabantu, Kodwa abasindiswanga. Isiphelo sabo esingunaphakade lidike lomlilo elingunaphakade.
Sithe isidenge entliziyweni yaso, Akukho Thixo. Bonakele, benze amasikizi, Akukho wenza okulungileyo (INdu 14:1)
Abantu abangakholelwayo kubukho bukaThixo nabo bayakholelwa. Bakholelwa ukuba uThixo akakho. Wonke umntu osemhlabeni ukholelwa kwinto ethile. Abanye bakholelwa ukuba uThixo ukho, abanye bakholelwa ukuba uThixo akakho kwaye abanye bakholelwa kwizithixo ezininzi okanye ukuba umntu okanye izilwanyana zingoothixo.
Ukholo lwenyama
Kuyo yonke iminyaka, amaKrestu amaninzi athe chu ukulishiya iLizwi likaThixo aza akhulisa olwawo ukholo, ephenjelelwa yi iifilosofi zomntu kwaye iimfundiso zeedemon kwaye ikakhulu usekwe phezu kweemvakalelo, iimvakalelo, kunye neemvakalelo.
Ngelishwa, ababaninzi abakholwayo, abafunda iBhayibhile bebodwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye bamkele kwaye bayinyamezele inyaniso enyulu yeLizwi likaThixo. Kuba iLizwi elinyulu lihlala lilukhuni kwaye lithetha ukuzithoba kwiNyaniso kunye nokuguqula ubomi(isitayile) kwaye ababaninzi abavumayo ukuzithoba kuThixo baze baguqule ubomi babo.
Umoya wokuzimela uyalawula kubomi obuninzi. Ngenxa yoko, ayingoYesu kwakhona, Ngubani iNkosi yabo kwaye uhleli etroneni yobomi babo. Kodwa banayo baziphakamisile njengoothixo bazenza iinkosi, abahleli etroneni yobomi babo.
Abasayijongi iBhayibhile njengeNyaniso kwakhona. Kodwa baye batshintsha baza bawalungelelanisa amazwi aseBhayibhileni ukuze ahambelane neentanda-bulumko nezinto ezifunyaniswe ngumntu, ephuma kwingqondo yenyama yehlabathi.
AmaKristu, abakholelwa kwindaleko
Baninzi abashumayeli nabalungiseleli, abashumayela ngeBhayibhile ngeeCawe, ngoxa bekholelwa kwindaleko. Kungenxa yokuba bakholelwa kwindaleko, bajongela phantsi kwaye khanyela uThixo njengoMdali wezulu nomhlaba? Amakholwa amaninzi aye akreqa elukholweni naseLizwini, ngokuba abanayo bahlaziye iingqondo zabo ngeLizwi likaThixo kodwa endaweni yoko, zazalisa iingqondo zabo ngolwazi, ubulumko, nenyaniso yehlabathi, nge (isayensi) iinkqubo zikamabonwakude, iincwadi, iindaba, iimagazini, imidiya yoluntu njl., nto leyo ebangele ukuba balithandabuze iLizwi likaThixo.
Maninzi amaKristu, abazelwe bakhulela kusapho lobuKrestu kwaye bengamaKrestu ngokwemveli. Baya ecaweni baze bathandaze ngaphambi kokuba batye nangaphambi kokuba balale baze bafunde iBhayibhile ngamaxesha athile. Bazibiza ngokuba bangamaKristu kwaye bakhangeleka njengamaKristu ngaphandle, ngenxa yokuziphatha kwabo kobuntu. Kodwa ngokweLizwi, bacinga kwaye baphila njengeentshaba zomnqamlezo kwaye bayamkhanyela uThixo. Ziyamvuma uThixo ngomlomo wazo, kodwa iintliziyo zabo azikho kuye, kodwa kwihlabathi (Mat 15:8)
UMoya oyiNgcwele uyangqina ngoThixo, uMdali wezulu nomhlaba
Ukuba umntu uthi uzelwe ngokutsha, ngoko umoya womntu uvuswe kwabafileyo ngamandla oMoya oyiNgcwele. UMoya kaThixo, Abahlala emntwini, ikwanguloo Moya mnye kaThixo, Eyenyukayo phezu kwamanzi;, kwakusenyanyeni umhlaba, kuselubala, kwakumnyama phezu kwamanzi anzongonzongo.
Kwalo Moya mnye unguMoya weNyaniso, Ngubani na oliNgqina likaThixo uSomandla; uMdali wezulu nomhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi noYesu Krestu; ilizwi (Yoh 14:17, Yoh 15:26, Yoh 16:13, I-ROM 8:9, 1 Co 2:12, 1 Co 3:16, 2 Co 1:22, 1 Jo 4:13, 1 Jo 5:6-8)
Ngoko ke, ukuba ubani uyamkhanyela uMdali aze alungelelanise iLizwi kubulumko nolwazi lweli hlabathi, ke loo mntu akanaye uMoya oyiNgcwele. Kaloku uThixo akanakuzincama.
UMoya oyiNgcwele ulingqina lendalo kwaye uyangqina ngenyaniso, ukuba uThixo nguMdali wezulu nomhlaba, nokuba Wadala izulu nomhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi ngeentsuku ezintandathu. Lowo nguThixo uSomandla, Lowo simkhonzayo! Akukho nto imnqabeleyo.
INkosi, Hayi indlela emininzi ngayo imisebenzi yakho!! Zinzulu kakhulu iingcinga zakho. Isityhakala asazi; nesinyabi asikuqondi oko (INdu 92:5-6)
Kodwa njengoko sele kuxoxwe ngayo kwiposti yebhlog yangaphambili: ‘Ngaba iBhayibhile nenzululwazi zinokuhamba kunye?', umntu ongengomoya akanakubuqonda ubunyaniso bukaThixo aze abubone uBukumkani bukaThixo. Yiyo loo nto umntu ongengowomoya engakwazi ukuqonda ukuba into inokwenziwa njani ngaphandle kwento.
Wathi uYesu, ukuba ngaphandle kokuba umntu abe uzelwe ngokutsha, akanakubona, akanakungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo (Yoh 3:3-5). Kwaye ngenxa yokuba amakholwa amaninzi awazalwa ngokutsha ngokwenene, zisezenyama kwaye zilawulwa yingqiqo. Bacinga ngokwasenyameni kwaye ke baphila ngokwengqondo yabo yenyama, olwenziwa lulwazi nobulumko beli hlabathi, ukuqonda.
Ngokholo, uyakwazi ukuyiqonda indalo
Umsebenzi wokuqala wokholo ochazwe ngesiHebhere 11 yindalo. ILizwi liyangqina, ukuba uThixo nguMdali wezulu nomhlaba nayo yonke imikhosi yawo.
Ngokholo siyaqonda ukuba umhlaba wehlabathi wahlanjwa liLizwi likaThixo, Ukuze izinto ezibonwayo azikwenziwe ngezinto ezibonakala (Heb 11:3)
Kuphela kuxa umntu ezelwe ngokutsha, umntu uyakwazi ukukholelwa ukuba uThixo udale ngeLizwi lakhe nangamandla akhe izulu nomhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi.
Ukuba utsho, ukuba uyakholelwa kuThixo kwaye uthi uzelwe ngokutsha, uze ukholwe kwiLizwi likaThixo kwaye ukholwe ukuba uThixo wadala izulu nomhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi ngeentsuku ezintandathu.
Ukuba awukholelwa oku, kodwa endaweni yoko kholelwa le nto ikuxelela yona inzululwazi kwaye uyigqale indaleko njengemfundiso yobudenge yomntu, kodwa inyaniso, emva koko awukholelwa kuThixo nakumazwi akhe, kodwa ngamazwi omntu.
Ngokukholelwa kumazwi omntu ngaphezu kwamazwi kaThixo, uthi uThixo ulixoki noko kubhalwe eBhayibhileni; ILizwi lakhe aliyonyaniso, Kodwa ubuxoki.
NguThixo uMdali wezulu nomhlaba?
Nangona inzululwazi ithi, ILizwi likaThixo liyasifundisa, lo Thixo i UMdali wezulu nomhlaba kwaye yonke indawo ngaphakathi. Akukho ndawo eBhayibhileni apho kukho ugqabhuko-dubulo olukhulu okanye inkqubo yendaleko yomhlaba, izityalo, imithi, izilwanyana, abantu, njl. kukhankanyiwe.
ILizwi liyangqina ngoThixo njengoMdali kwaye liyavuma ukuba uThixo wadala izulu nomhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi.. Ewe, ULizwi ude angqine ukuba indalo ngokwayo ingqina amandla kaThixo nobuthixo bakhe. Lo nto, akukho bani unesingxengxezo, nini (s)uya kuma phambi kwetrone kaThixo ngomhla womgwebo. Akukho mntu unokutsho, loo nto (s)wayengazi.
Kuba kwasekudalweni kwehlabathi, iindawo zakhe ezibe zingenakubonwa zibonwa kakuhle, iqondwe ngezinto ezenziweyo, namandla akhe angonaphakade kunye nothixo; ukuze bangabi nasizathu (I-ROM 1:20)
Le yimini ayenzileyo uYehova; siya kugcoba sivuye ngayo (INdu 118:24)
Wathandaza uHezekiya phambi koYehova, watsho, Owu Nkosi, Thixo kaSirayeli, ehleli phakathi kweekerubhi, wena unguThixo, Nguwe wedwa, kuzo zonke izikumkani zehlabathi; Wena ulenzile izulu nehlabathi (2 nini 19:15)
Wena, Nawe, yiNkosi yodwa; Wena walenza izulu, izulu lamazulu, kunye nomkhosi wabo wonke, Umhlaba, nazo zonke izinto ezikuyo, iilwandle, nako konke okukuyo, Uzigcina zonke ziphela; umkhosi wezulu uqubuda kuwe (Neh 9:6)
Izulu libalisa uzuko lukaThixo; isibhakabhaka sixela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe (INdu 19:1)
Ngelizwi likaYehova yayingamazulu; nawo wonke umkhosi wawo ngomoya womlomo wakhe. Ulobutha njengemfumba amanzi olwandle;: Ulobeka koovimba inzulu. Malimoyike lonke ihlabathi: Mabamhlonele bonke abemi belimiweyo. kuba wayethetha, kwaye kwenziwe; Wayalela, kwaye yema ngokukhawuleza (INdu 33:6-9)
Nisikelelwe nguYehova uMenzi wezulu nomhlaba. Izulu, namazulu, zeNkosi: ke ihlabathi ulinike oonyana babantu (INdu 115:15-16)
Uncedo lwam luvela kuYehova, owenza izulu nomhlaba (INdu 121:2)
Makakusikelele eZiyon uYehova, uMenzi wezulu nehlabathi (INdu 134:3)
Hayi, uyolo lwalowo uluncedo lunguThixo kaYakobi!, othembele kuNdikhoyo uThixo wakhe:
Owenza izulu, kunye nomhlaba, ulwandle, nayo yonke into ekuyo: kulo ugcine inyaniso ngonaphakade (INdu 146:5-6)
Mabalidumise iGama leNkosi: ngokuba wawisa umthetho, zadalwa ke.
Uzimise ngonaphakade kanaphakade: Uwise umthetho wokuba akuyi kugqithwa (INdu 148:5-6))
Nkosi, Wena unguThixo, owenza izulu, kunye nomhlaba, kunye nolwandle, Kwaye konke okukuyo (IZenzo 4:24)
Nathi singabantu abeva oko kuni, ndivakalise kuni ukuba nibuye kwaba thixo bangento, nibuyele kuThixo ophilileyo, elenza izulu, kunye nomhlaba, kunye nolwandle, nazo zonke izinto ezikuyo (IZenzo 14:15)
Yoyika uThixo, nimzukise; ngokuba lifikile ilixa lokugweba kwakhe: nimnqule umenzi wezulu, kunye nomhlaba, kunye nolwandle, nemithombo yamanzi (Umfundisi 14:7)
(Funda kwakhona: 2Ukuya 2:12, Umsebenzi 38-41, INdu 124:8, Yi 37:16)
Ngaba uThixo wadala umhlaba ngeentsuku ezintandathu okanye amawaka amathandathu eminyaka?
Ngaba ngokwenene indalo yadalwa ngeentsuku ezintandathu njengoko lisitsho iLizwi likaThixo? Okanye ngaba indalo yadalwa kwiminyaka engamawaka amathandathu, njengoko abantu abaninzi besitsho?
Abantu, abaye beza nale ngxelo bathi, ukuba uThixo wathabatha amawaka amathandathu eminyaka ukudala ihlabathi, bengemi kwinyaniso yeLizwi likaThixo, kodwa bazivumela ukuba baphenjelelwe bubulumko nolwazi lweli hlabathi baza bazama ukuxuba indaleko neBhayibhile; ILizwi likaThixo.
Le ntetho kunye nemfundiso iphuma kwingqondo yenyama, engakwaziyo ukuqonda nokukholelwa ukuba uThixo wathabatha usuku olunye nje ukudala into engento.
Ingqondo yenyama ayikwazi ukuqonda nokuqonda, ungazibiza njani izinto, ezingezizo ngokungathi zikho, aze azise into ethile evela kummandla womoya ingene kummandla wendalo. Ukuze baxhase iintanda-bulumko zabo neemfundiso zabo nokulitolika kwabo ngokomfuziselo igama elithi ‘yôm’ bacaphula ezi zibhalo zilandelayo.:
Ngokuba iwaka leminyaka emehlweni akho Linjengemini yezolo, xa idlule, nanjengomlindo wasebusuku (INdu 90:4)
Kodwa, zintanda, musani ukungayazi le nto inye, Imini enye kuYehova injengeminyaka eliwaka, Iwaka leminyaka linjengemini enye (2 Pe 3:8)
Kodwa ezi zibhalo zibini azinanto yakwenza nendalo kodwa zinento yokwenza nomahluko phakathi kwendlela uThixo alijonga ngayo ixesha nendlela umntu wemvelo wenyama alijonga ngayo ixesha.. Kuba ixesha likaThixo lahlukile kunexesha lomntu. Kwiindumiso 90 imalunga nobomi bomntu wendalo kunye nangaphakathi 2 UPetros 3:8 imalunga nesithembiso se Ukubuya kukaYesu.
ILizwi liyangqina, ukuba uThixo wadala izulu nomhlaba ngeentsuku ezintandathu, waza uThixo waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe:
Agqitywa ke amazulu nehlabathi, nomkhosi wawo wonke. Wawugqiba ke uThixo ngomhla wesixhenxe umsebenzi wakhe awawenzayo; waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe awawenzayo. Wawusikelela uThixo umhla wesixhenxe, wayingcwalisa: ngokuba waphumla ngawo kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe awawudalayo, wawenza uThixo. Yiyo le ke inzala yezulu nomhlaba, xa badalwe, Ngemini awawenza ngayo uYehova uThixo umhlaba namazulu (Gen 2:1-4)
Ngeentsuku ezintandathu uYehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, ulwandle, Kwaye konke okukuyo, kwaye waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe: Kungoko uYehova wawusikelela umhla wesabatha, kwaye uyingcwalisayo (Eks 20:11)
Ngeentsuku ezintandathu uYehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe, kwaye wahlaziyeka (Eks 31:17)
Ukukhanya kunokubakho njani ngaphambi kokudalwa kwelanga?
Abantu abaninzi bayabuthandabuza ubunyani, ukuthembeka, nokuthembeka kweLizwi likaThixo kuba kwiGenesis 1 kubhaliwe kwathiwa, nokuba ukukhanya nemini nobusuku zabakho phambi kwelanga, inyanga, kwadalwa iinkwenkwezi. Kodwa kunokubakho njani ukukhanya ngaphandle kwelanga?
Abantu abaninzi bathi, ukuba oku akunakwenzeka yaye ke ngoko bathi iBhayibhile asiyonyaniso! Kuba ilanga livelisa ukukhanya. Kwaye ukuba ilanga ladalwa ngomhla wesine, Kwenzeka njani ukuba ukukhanya kunye nemini nobusuku kubekho phambi kwelanga?, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi? Ke ngoko bakhetha ukukholelwa kwindaleko baze bayigqale indaleko njengeyinyaniso.
Kodwa akuyi kuba kuhle, ukuba amakholwa ebethanda izinto zomoya zobukumkani bukaThixo njengokuba izazinzulu zikwindawo yendalo kwaye zifundisisa kwaye ziphengulule izibhalo njengezazinzulu zifundisisa kwaye ziphande.?
Ukukhanya, awakudalayo uThixo ngomhla wokuqala, kukukhanya, evela kuYe. Ukukhanya kuvela kuThixo kungekhona elangeni. UThixo ulawula ukukhanya kungekhona ilanga. Ngokuba uThixo ukuKhanya.
NdinguNdikhoyo, kwaye akukho wumbi, akukho Thixo ingendim: ndikubhinqile, nangona ungandazi: ukuze bazi ukususela ekuphumeni kwelanga, kwaye ukusuka entshona, ukuba akukho wumbi ingendim. NdinguNdikhoyo, kwaye akukho wumbi. Ndibumba ukukhanya, adale ubumnyama: Ndenza uxolo, adale ububi: NdinguYehova owenza zonke izinto (Yi 45:5-7)
Wahlula uThixo phakathi kokukhanya nobumnyama, wathi kukukhanya: imini nobumnyama: ubusuku. Imini nobusuku zabakho phambi kwezikhanyiso; ilanga, inyanga neenkwenkwezi, zadalwa.
Xa izulu, umhlaba owomileyo; kwadalwa umhlaba neelwandle, yayilixesha lokuba kudalwe izikhanyiso esibhakabhakeni samazulu
UThixo wayesele ekudalile ukukhanya kwaye wayesele eyahlula imini nobusuku, kodwa ngoku Wadala waza wamisa izikhanyiso, oko kwakuya kuba ngumthwalo wokukhanya emhlabeni.
Ukukhanya kunye nemini nobusuku besele kukho, kodwa ngoku unike uxanduva negunya elangeni, inyanga neenkwenkwezi. Ukususela kusuku lwesine, babeza kujongana nokukhanya emhlabeni.
Kanye njengokuba uThixo wayenike uxanduva nolawulo emntwini phezu komhlaba nomkhosi wawo. UThixo wayeyigqibile indalo, kodwa Walunika uxanduva nolawulo emntwini (Gen 1:26-28, INdu 115:16)
Ukudalwa kwelanga, inyanga, neenkwenkwezi ngomhla wesine
Utsho uYehova, owenza ilanga libe sisikhanyiso emini, nemimiselo yenyanga neyeenkwenkwezi, ukuba ibe sisikhanyiso ebusuku (Kuba 31:35)
Ngosuku lwesine, UThixo wadala ilanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi, wazibeka esibhakabhakeni samazulu, wathi mazikhanyise emini nasebusuku. Yayiyikomishini leyo, uThixo walinika ilanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi (Indalo yakhe). UThixo wabenza baba noxanduva lokukhanya.
Ukususela ngaloo mhla, kuba kwakumiselwe ukwahlula imini nobusuku, ukuba yimiqondiso, kunye namaxesha onyaka, kunye neentsuku kunye neminyaka, zibe zizikhanyiso esibhakabhakeni samazulu, zikhanyise ehlabathini.
UThixo wanika ilanga ukuba lilawule imini, yaye inyanga neenkwenkwezi wazinika igunya ukuze zilawule ubusuku, zahlule ukukhanya ebumnyameni.. Xa uThixo wayedala ilanga, inyanga, neenkwenkwezi wazinika igunya, ukuba zikhanyise, zilawule imini nobusuku, Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile (Gen 1:14-19)
UThixo unguMdali wokukhanya kungekhona ilanga
Imini yeyakho, nobusuku bobakho: Nguwe owalungisa ukukhanya nelanga (INdu 74:16)
Ukukhanya kuvela kuThixo. Ukukhanya kudalwe nguThixo kungekhona ilanga. Ilanga alilenzanga imini, nenyanga neenkwenkwezi azibenzanga ubusuku. Kodwa uThixo wadala ukukhanya, waza wakwahlula ukukhanya nobumnyama. UThixo wenza imini nobusuku kungekhona indalo yakhe.
UThixo wayalela ilanga ukuba likhanyise emhlabeni, kodwa ilanga lidalwe nguThixo kwaye ngoko liyindalo kaThixo kwaye ngenxa yoko, ilanga alinakuze linqulwe.
Mhlawumbi uThixo wadala ukukhanya nemini nobusuku ngaphambi kokuba adale ilanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi, ukuthintela abantu ukuba bacinge ukuba ilanga, inyanga, neenkwenkwezi zikhanyisa, zizigqale njengothixo(s) kwaye ubanqule, njengoko kusenzeka kwiinkcubeko ezininzi zobuhedeni.
UThixo wabalela abantu bakhe, ukunqula ilanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi. Ukuba umntu ebengayi kuwugcina umthetho wakhe, akanqule ilanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi, aze loo mntu agwetyelwe isohlwayo sokufa (Kwanika 4:19, Kwanika 17:3-5).
Ngaphandle kwamazwi nemiyalelo kaThixo, nangaphandle kwezilumkiso zaKhe, Abantu bakhe babesoloko bebhadula baze bangene kwindlela yezithethe zobuhedeni baze banqule ilanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi (2 Ukuya 23:5-5, 2 Ukuya 23:11, Khohlo 8:16)
Kodwa ilanga alingoThixo kwaye alinakuze libe nguThixo, kodwa ilanga liyindalo yesandla sikaThixo kwaye liya kuhlala liyindalo kaThixo. Ilanga lingqina likaThixo nobukhulu nobungangamsha bakhe.
Izulu libalisa uzuko lukaThixo; isibhakabhaka sixela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe. Imini ngemini ithetha intetho, ubusuku bubonisa ubusuku ukwazi. Akukho ntetho, akukho ntetho, apho ilizwi labo lingavakali. Intambo yawo yokulinganisa iphume yaya ehlabathini lonke, namazwi abo kude kube sekupheleni kwehlabathi. Walimisela ilanga umnquba kuzo, elinjengomyeni ephuma egumbini lakhe, yaye inemihlali njengegorha ukuba ibaleke elugqatsweni. Ukuphuma kwakhe kuthabathele ekupheleni kwezulu, nokujikeleza kwayo kwesa ekupheleni kwayo: akukho nto inokusithela ebushushwini balo (INdu 19:1-6)
Izulu libalisa uzuko lukaThixo; isibhakabhaka sixela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe (INdu 19:1)
Inyanga wayenzela amaxesha ayo: Ilanga liyakwazi ukutshona kwalo (INdu 104:19)
Igunya likaThixo phezu kwelanga
Xa uYoshuwa wathetha kuYehova waza wayalela ilanga nenyanga ukuba zime ngxi, bathobela. Kwihambo kaYoshuwa, siyalubona ukholo lwakhe kuThixo, owathi mayime indalo kaThixo, yaye uThixo waweva waza wawaphendula amazwi kaYoshuwa, yaye ilanga nenyanga zathobela zema ngxi (Ukuba 10:12-13, Hab 3:11).
Abefundisi bezakwalizwi bathi, ukuba oku akwenzekanga ngokwenene, kodwa oko sisikweko. Izazinzulu zithi, ukuba esi siganeko yayikukusithwa kwelanga yinyanga. Kodwa ngokuthetha oku, zimjongela phantsi uThixo uSomandla nobukhulu namandla akhe.
Kusebenza into efanayo nakuphawu, awathi uThixo wayinika uHezekiya, ukuze isithunzi selanga sibuye umva izinyuko ezilishumi ukusuka kwizinyuko. Lalithobela ilizwi likaThixo ilanga, labuya izinyuko ezilishumi.
Khangela, ndisibuyisa isithunzi sezinyuko, elatshonayo elangeni lika-Ahazi, izidanga ezilishumi ngasemva. Labuya ke ilanga izinyuko ezilishumi, yehle ngayo (Yi 38:8)
Ubumnyama
Kuya kufika usuku, ukuba ilanga, inyanga, neenkwenkwezi azisayi kuphinda zinike ukukhanya kwazo, ngenxa yezono ezisemhlabeni. Izono ziya kuba zikhulu kakhulu emhlabeni, ukuba indalo, kuquka nelanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi, uya kubandezeleka.
Oku kwenzeka kwakhona xa uYesu wathabatha zonke izono zehlabathi phezu kwakhe waza isono samoyisa. Oku kwabonakala kummandla wendalo ngobumnyama, owayelawula phezu komhlaba ukusukela kwintsimbi yesithandathu ukuya kutsho kwilixa lesithoba (Mat 27:45, Mar 15:33).
Khangela, iyeza imini yeNkosi, Ikhohlakele zombini kunye nomsindo kunye nomsindo ovuthayo, ukubeka umhlaba ngenkangala: abatshabalalise aboni kuyo. Kuba iziqalelo zezulu namakroza alo akayi kukhanyisa kukhanya kwawo: Ilanga liya kuba mnyama ekuphumeni kwakhe, Inyanga ayiyi kukhanyisela ukukhanya kwayo (Yi 13:9-10)
Kwaye xa ndikukhuphayo, Ndiya kugubungela izulu, kwaye wenze iinkwenkwezi zayo zimnyama; Ndiza kuligubungela ilanga ngelifu, nenyanga ayiyi kumkhanyisa. Zonke izibane ezikhanyayo zezulu ndiza kumnyama kuwe, Wamisa ubumnyama emhlabeni wakho, Itsho iNkosi uYehova (Khohlo 32:7-8)
Umhlaba uyanyikima phambi kwabo; Amazulu aya kugungqa: Ilanga nenyanga ziya kuba mnyama, Kwaye iinkwenkwezi ziya kurhola ukuqaqamba kwabo (UJoe 2:10)
ndenze izimanga emazulwini nasehlabathini;, igazi nomlilo, neentsika zomsi. Ilanga liya kuguqulwa ibe bubumnyama, nenyanga ibe ligazi, Ngaphambi kokuba imini enkulu yeNkosi ifike (UJoe 2:30-31)
Ilanga nenyanga zenziwe mnyama, iinkwenkwezi zikufinyezile ukukhanya kwazo (UJoe 3:15)
Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, Itsho iNkosi uYehova, ndilitshonise ilanga emini enkulu, ndenze ubumnyama ehlabathini ngemini elisileyo (Amo 8:9)
Ilanga lelo yemihla iya kuba mnyama, nenyanga ayiyi kumkhanyisa, Kwaye iinkwenkwezi ziya kuwa ezulwini, Kwaye amandla ezulu aya kushukunyiswa (Mat 24:29, Mar 13:24-25, Lu 21:25-26)
Ndabona xa yalivulayo elesithandathu itywina, kwaye, khangela, kwabakho inyikima enkulu; Ilanga laba mnyama, njengerhonya loboya, yaba yinyanga njengegazi; Zathi iinkwenkwezi zezulu zawela emhlabeni, Nokuba umkhiwane umkhiwane uwancamaza ngegama lakhe, Xa eshukunyiswa ngumoya onamandla (Umfundisi 6:12-13)
Neyesine ingelosi yavuthela ixilongo, saza sabethwa isahlulo sesithathu selanga, nesahlulo sesithathu senyanga, nesahlulo sesithathu seenkwenkwezi; ngokokude isahlulo sesithathu sabo sibe mnyama, nesahlulo sesithathu sayo imini ayikhanyi, kwangokunjalo nobusuku (Umfundisi 8:12)
Kunokubakho njani ukukhanya ngaphandle kwezikhanyiso?
Kunokubakho njani ukukhanya ngaphandle kwelanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi? UThixo akaxhomekekanga elangeni, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi. Kuba kumhlaba omtsha nezulu, aliyi kubakho ilanga, inyanga, kunye neenkwenkwezi. Ke yena uThixo uya kuba sisikhanyiso esingunaphakade, abakhanyisele abangcwele.
Ilanga aliyi kuba saba sisikhanyiso kuwe emini; nenyanga ayikukhanyiseli, ukuze kube mhlophe kuwe: ke uYehova uya kuba sisikhanyiso esingunaphakade kuwe, nozuko lwakho kuThixo. Aliyi kuba satshona ilanga lakho; ingafi nenyanga yakho: kuba uYehova uya kuba sisikhanyiso esingunaphakade kuwe, zizaliseke iintsuku zesijwili sakho (Yi 60:19-20)
Akuyi kubakho busuku khona; kwaye abafuni ikhandlela, kwanokukhanya kwelanga; kuba iNkosi uThixo iyazikhanyisela: baya kulawula ngonaphakade kanaphakade (Umfundisi 22:5)
Ngaba umntu wenziwe ngothuli okanye iinkawu eziguqulweyo?
IBhayibhile ithi, ukuba uThixo wamdala umntu ngothuli lomhlaba, ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo (El-Elohim; uThixo, ilizwi, noMoya oyiNgcwele). UThixo wamdala umntu ngothuli lomhlaba waza waphefumlela umoya wakhe wobomi emathatheni akhe waza umntu waba ngumphefumlo ophilayo.
Nangona kunjalo, ngokukaMnu. Darwin, umntu akazange adalwe nguThixo, kodwa umntu yinkawu eguqukileyo. Ngokutsho kwakhe, abantu baya kuzuza kuhlobo olufanayo lwenkawu njenge orangutan, igorila, kunye nemfene. I-chimpanzee yinqanaba phambi kokuvela kumntu. Le mfundiso isekelwe kwisibakala, ukuba i-chimpanzee inezinto ezininzi ezifanayo nomntu.
Kodwa isilwanyana esinemilenze emine sinokuba ngumntu onemilenze emibini njani? Kwaye ukuba umntu unokuvela kolu hlobo lwenkawu, kwakutheni ukuze zingabi nazo zonke iiorangutan, iigorila kunye neetshimpanzi ziguqukela emntwini? Ukuba le ngxelo iya kuba yinyani, kwenzeka njani ukuba uhlobo olunye kuphela lweentlobo zemfene luye lwavela kwaye zonke ezinye iintlobo zemfene azizange zivele? Kwaye kuthekani ngezinye izilwanyana? Kutheni bengakhange bavele kwezinye izidalwa?
Iyamangalisa, luhlobo luni lwempembelelo kunye nefuthe amazwi omntu omnye anokuba nawo kuluntu luphela. Umntu onengqondo yenyama uyavuka kwaye asasaze ubuxoki bakhe; iifilosofi zakhe, ezisekelwe kwizinto azifunyanisileyo nakwingqiqo yakhe.
Ingaba uMnu. UDarwin uye wazitshitshisa iimfundiso zakhe ngaphambi kokuba afe okanye hayi, ayibalulekanga. Imalunga nokuba yeyiphi impembelelo enkulu kwiingxelo zakhe kunye neemfundiso zakhe kwisayensi yendalo yanamhlanje kunye nento eyenziwa ngabantu ngeemfundiso zakhe.. Kuba inzululwazi yendalo isakholelwa kumazwi akhe kwaye isasebenzisa iimfundiso zakhe kwaye ikholelwa ukuba abantu bavela ezinkawini..
Kwaye ngenxa yabantu abaninzi, abathi bayakholelwa kuThixo, abazalwa ngokutsha kwaye ke ngoko abakho ngokwasemoyeni kwaye basenengqondo yenyama, bakholelwa amazwi omntu ngaphezu kwamazwi kaThixo.
Kodwa iLizwi lithetha ngokuchaseneyo nayo yonke intetho esekelwe phezu kwayo indaleko. ILizwi lithi, ukuba yonke inyama ayinyama-nye. Yiyo loo nto inyama yenkawu ingenakuze ibe yinyama yabantu.
Yonke inyama ayisinyama efanayo: Kodwa kukho uhlobo olunye lwenyama yamadoda, enye inyama yamarhamncwa, enye yeentlanzi, nenye yeentaka. (1 I-cor 15:39)
ILizwi liyangqina, ukuba uThixo wadala umntu ngothuli lomhlaba ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo:
Watsho njalo uThixo, Masenze umntu ngokomfanekiso wethu, Emva kokufana kwethu: Kwaye bavumele ukuba balawule kwiintlanzi zolwandle, Kwaye ngaphezulu kwentaka yomoya, Kwaye ngaphezulu kweenkomo, nakuwo wonke umhlaba, Kwaye phezu kwayo yonke into enambuzelayo emiselweyo emhlabeni. Ngoko uThixo wamdala umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe, Ngomfanekiso kaThixo wamdalela yena; Indoda nebhinqileyo yadala (Gen 1:26-27)
UYehova uThixo wenza umyezo e-Eden ngasempumalanga; wambeka khona umntu abembumbile (Gen 2:8)
Kwaye uYehova uThixo wabumba ngomhlaba zonke izinto eziphilileyo zasendle, nazo zonke iintaka zezulu; wazisa kuAdam ukubona ukuba wothini na ukuzibiza: wathi awazibiza ngako uAdam zonke izinto eziphilileyo, ibiligama layo elo (Gen 2:19)
Wabona ke uThixo ukuba ububi bomntu bukhulu emhlabeni, Kwaye ukuba yonke ingcinga yeengcinga zentliziyo yentliziyo yakhe yayihlala imbi. Wazohlwaya ke uYehova, ukuba wenza umntu emhlabeni, kwaba buhlungu kuye entliziyweni. Utsho * uNdikhoyo, Ndiza kumtshabalalisa umntu endimdalayo ebusweni bomhlaba; bobabini umntu, kunye nerhamncwa, nento ekhulayo, kunye neentaka zomoya; ngokuba ndiyazohlwaya ngenxa yokuba ndizenzile (Gen 6:5-7)
Nabani na ophalaza igazi lomntu, igazi lakhe lophalazwa ngumntu: kuba umntu wamenza ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo (Gen 9:6)
UMoya kaThixo undenzile, Nokuphefumla kukaSomandla kundidlise ubomi. (Umsebenzi 33:4)
Yazini ukuba uYehova nguThixo yena: nguye owasenzayo, hayi thina ngokwethu; singabantu baKhe, nezimvu zedlelo lakhe. (INdu 100:3)
Ndiya kukuncoma; Kuba ndenziwe ngokoyikekayo nangokumangalisayo: zibalulekile izenzo zakho;
Umphefumlo wam uyazi kakuhle. Ayengagushekile kuwe inyama yam, mna ndenziwa emfihlekweni, Wenziwe ngokumangalisayo kwezona ndawo zisezantsi zomhlaba. (INdu 139:13-14)
Ngaloo mini umntu uya kondela kuMenzi wakhe, amehlo akhe akhangele koyiNgcwele kaSirayeli (Yi 17:7)
Itsho iNkosi uYehova, Lowo wadala amazulu, waza wazolula; uMtwabululi wehlabathi, nento ephuma kuyo; Ulonika abantu abakulo ukuphefumla, nomoya kwabahamba ngayo (Yi 42:5)
II ndenze umhlaba, wadala umntu phezu kwayo: I, nditsho izandla zam, waneka izulu, nomkhosi wawo wonke ndawuwisela umthetho (Yi 45:12)
Mna ndenza ihlabathi, umntu nenkomo esemhlabeni, ngamandla am amakhulu, nangengalo yam eyolukileyo, ndilinike lowo kuthe tye emehlweni am (Kuba 27:5)
Kodwa ukusukela ekuqaleni kwendalo uThixo wabenza babe yindoda nebhinqa (Mar 10:6, Mat 19:4)
(Funda kwakhona: Gen 5:1-2, Umsebenzi 4:17, Yi 64:8, Zach 12:1, Mal 2:10, UJames 3:9)
ILizwi likaThixo
Sonke Isibhalo sinikelwa ngokuphefumlelwa nguThixo, kwaye iyingenelo kwimfundiso, ngenxa yokohlwaywa, ukulungisa, Ngqeqesho ebulungiseni: Ukuze umntu kaThixo abe egqibeleleyo, inikelwe ngokupheleleyo kuyo yonke imisebenzi elungileyo (2 Tim 3:16-17)
Lonke ilizwi likaThixo, Okubhalwe eBhayibhileni kungamazwi omoya kwaye aphethe ubomi bukaThixo. Lonke ilizwi likaThixo, Loo nto ityalwe ebomini bomntu okholwayo uya kuyenza, kuxhomekeke emhlabeni kunye nokukhulisa, bavelise isiqhamo okanye bangathwali. IBhayibhile sisonka somoya kunye Ikhampasi kumntu omtsha, ozelwe ngokutsha kuYesu Kristu, kwaye ikhokelela umntu omtsha enyanisweni kaThixo.
Kwakamsinya nje ukuba uphambuke eLizwini ulishiye iLizwi, kwaye uphile ngokweengcamango zakho, iintanda-bulumko, iziphumo, izimvo, iimvakalelo, kunye namava, uya kuphambuka ubabalo kwaye uthembele kwiimbono zakho, ulwazi, nobulumko, ezibunjwa lihlabathi. Awuyi kuphila ngokholo emva kweLizwi kwaye ushumayele iLizwi, kodwa uya kushumayela kwaye uhambe ngokholo kuwe; ulwazi lwakho, ubulumko, kunye nobuchule.
Ngelo xesha waphendula uYesu wathi, Ndiyabulela kuwe, Owu Bawo, Nkosi yezulu nomhlaba, ngokuba ezi zinto uzifihlile kwizilumko neengqondi, wabatyhilela iintsana (Mat 11:25)
UPawulos wema eqinile elukholweni waza washumayela ngoYesu Kristu
UPawulos wayekholelwa kuYesu Kristu waza wema eqinile elukholweni. Akazange alalanise nobulumko behlabathi kunye neentanda-bulumko zalo, ngokuba ubulumko nokwazi kweli hlabathi wabuthabatha njengobudenge (1 Co 1:20). Ngokutsho kwehlabathi, UPawulos wayengumntu onobuchule. Nangona kunjalo, xa waba namava okudibana noYesu Kristu, wabeka phantsi ubulumko bakhe basemhlabeni nolwazi lwakhe waza wambatha uYesu Kristu kwaye bamlandela.
UPawulos waba sisidalwa esitsha waza uMoya oyiNgcwele wahlala kuye. Akazange asebenzise zonke iintlobo zamagama anyanzelisayo omntu, kodwa weza esemandleni kaThixo, wathetha amazwi akhe ngegunya
Xa uPawulos wayese-Athene, ezinye izithandi zobulumko zamaEpikure namaStoyike zazinomdla wokwazi ngeemfundiso zakhe ezintsha. UPawulos akazange oyikiswe kwaye eyiswe ngabo kunye neemfundiso zabo kwaye akazange alushiye ukholo lwakhe. Kodwa uPawulos washumayela ngoYesu Kristu nokuvuka kwakhe nangenxa yokushumayela kwakhe umnqamlezo, abanye babo beza elukholweni (IZenzo 17:17-34).
Ukoyika uYehova kukuqala kobulumko
Umahluko omkhulu phakathi kwangelo xesha nangoku, ukuba abaprofeti beTestamente eNdala kunye nabapostile nabafundi bakaYesu kwiTestamente eNtsha babenoloyiko (uloyiko) kaThixo. Ngenxa yokoyika kwabo uThixo, babenobulumko bukaThixo. Babemgqala uThixo njengoMdali wezulu nomhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi baza bakugqala njengenyaniso yonke into awayeyithethile nawayeyithethile..
Bahlala benyanisekile kuYe, phezu kwako nje ukutshutshiswa kwabantu. Kuba ukuba ufunda iTestamente eNdala kunye neTestamente eNtsha, uze uphawule ukuba akukho namnye wabaprofeti, abapostile, kunye nabafundi, ababemiselwe nguThixo baza bathetha inyaniso yakhe, babethandwa ngokwenene.
Kulungile, babethandwa xa kukho into efunekayo kuba besengxakini, okanye ukuba bebefuna, ukuphilisa, ilizwi lokwazi, ubulumko malunga nomcimbi othile okanye enye into.
Kodwa ngokukhawuleza njengomprofeti, *umpostile okanye umfundi weza wathetha egameni likaThixo, ebakhawulela ngehambo yabo, wababizela enguqukweni, nokuba bathe baprofeta ngeziganeko ezizayo., oko bekungeyonto intle, emva koko ngequbuliso abazange baphinde bathandwe ngolo hlobo baza batshutshiswa baza bavalelwa entolongweni.
Abanye bade bagwetyelwa ukufa, ngenxa nje yokuba bathetha inyaniso kaThixo kwaye baprofeta eGameni laKhe. Kwaye into ebuhlungu kukuba, ukuba ngokufuthi babengayalelwanga ukuba bathi cwaka baze bavalelwe entolongweni baze babulawe ngabantu abangakholwayo; abeeNtlanga, kodwa ngabantu babo.
Oku akuzange kwenzeke kwiTestamente eNdala kuphela, kodwa nakwiTestamente eNtsha kwaye kusenzeka nangoku (Mat 23:31, Lu 11:47, 1 Th 2:14-16).
Ngaba uyakholelwa kwiLizwi likaThixo?
Kukho iingxoxo ezininzi ngakumbi ezichasene nemfundiso yendaleko. Kodwa ukuba ndingacaphula zonke izibhalo zeBhayibhile kwaye ndicaphule bonke ubungqina kunye neengxoxo, akuyi kunceda ukukholisa umntu wenyama wemvelo ngengqondo yenyama kule mfundiso yobuxoki.
Konke malunga nento enye kwaye kunjalo: uyakholwa na kwiLizwi likaThixo? Ngaba uyakholelwa ukuba iBhayibhile iliLizwi likaThixo kwaye imele Yena? Uyakholwa ukuba iBhayibhile iyiNyaniso? Kuba ngaphandle kokholo akunakwenzeka ukukholisa uThixo. Inyama nengqondo yenyama azinako ukukholwa. Kuba ukholo sisiqhamo somoya kungekhona esenyameni.
Kuphela indalo entsha, Umoya wakhe ovuswa ekufeni, bayakwazi ukuyiqonda baze bayikholelwe iBhayibhile; ILizwi likaThixo.
Ezo, abo bazelwe nguThixo baya kuliphulaphula ilizwi lakhe. Ngoko ke, baya kuphulaphula iLizwi baze benze oko iLizwi libaxelela ukuba bakwenze. Bazalwa nguThixo kwaye bakholelwa ukuba uThixo nguMdali wezulu nomhlaba nako konke okungaphakathi.
Kubo bonke abanye abantu, IBhayibhile ibubudenge. Ngoko ke abayi kuwaphulaphula amazwi eBhayibhile. Ke bona baya kuva amazwi omntu wenyama, abanobulumko nolwazi lwehlabathi.
Umntu wenyama, ongabehlabathi ungowehlabathi. Ke ngoko umntu wenyama uya kuliphulaphula ihlabathi kwaye akholwe oko likuthethayo ihlabathi. Ekubeni inzululwazi ilulwazi lwehlabathi umntu wenyama ukholelwa oko kuthethwa yinzululwazi, kuquka indaleko.
Wonke umntu unikwe inkululeko yokuzikhethela. Ngoko ke wonke umntu ukhululekile ukuba akholelwe kwaye enze nantoni na (s)uyafuna. Wonke umntu usenokuzenzela ukhetho lokukholelwa koko kuthethwa yiBhayibhile okanye oko kuthethwa lihlabathi. Kodwa inye into ecacileyo, kwaye oko kukuba indalo kunye nendaleko ayinakuhamba kunye. Inokuba yenye okanye enye.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
