Umuntu ongaphenduli unombono wenyama futhi uholwa izinzwa zakhe, imizwa, nemizwelo. Indoda endala iyaziqhenya futhi kaningi iyazi kangcono kunabanye. Ikhehla liyadlubulunda futhi alikuthandi ukulungiswa(s), kodwa uthembele kokwakhe ukuqonda esikhundleni sokuqonda kukaNkulunkulu futhi ulandela intando yakhe esikhundleni sentando kaNkulunkulu. Inhliziyo yomuntu omdala ilukhuni futhi ayilaleli isixwayiso kanye/noma iseluleko sabanye. Kodwa yini ingozi yokungalaleli? Ingozi yokungalaleli ukuthi abantu bangena ebunganeni nasezivumelwaneni ezingaba nemiphumela eyinhlekelele ezimpilweni zabo nasezindaweni ezizungezile.. Le miphumela eyinhlekelele yayingavinjelwa ngokulalela. Kunezibonelo eziningi eBhayibhelini ezikhuluma ngabantu abenqaba ukulalela abanye. Ngokwesibonelo, cabanga ngoGedaliya, abangazange balalele izixwayiso zabanye futhi ngenxa yalokho, UGedaliya wazehlisela okubi kuye nakubantu.
uGedaliya umbusi wakwaJuda
UGedaliya wayeyindodana ka-Ahikamu futhi wayebekwe inkosi yaseBhabhiloni njengombusi phezu kwemizi yakwaJuda. Wayezinikele kuye amadoda, abantu, nabantwana nabampofu bezwe, abangazange bathunjelwe eBhabhiloni.
Lapho zonke izinduna zamabutho (amabutho), ezazisemasimini, amadoda abo ezwa ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele ibeke uGedaliya phezu kwezwe, baya kuye eMispa.
Lapho izinduna zamabutho u-Ishmayeli, indodana kaNethaniya, uJohanani noJonathani, amadodana kaKhareya, kanye noSeraya, indodana kaThanhumeti, namadodana ka-Efali, umNethofa, kanye noJezaniya, kwafika indodana yomMahakha namadoda abo, UGedaliya wafunga phambi kwabo, wathi:
“Ningesabi ukukhonza amaKaledi: hlala ezweni, nikhonze inkosi yaseBabele, kuyakuba kuhle kuwe. Mina-ke, bheka, ngiyakuhlala eMispa, ukukhonza amaKaledi, okuzakuza kithi: kodwa wena, buthani iwayini nezithelo zasehlobo, namafutha, ukubeke ezitsheni zenu, nihlale emizini yenu eniyithathile”
Lapho wonke amaJuda, ababekwaMowabi naphakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakwa-Edomi, futhi lokho kwakusemazweni onke, yezwa ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele ishiye insali yakwaJuda nokuthi ibeke uGedaliya phezu kwayo, wonke amaJuda abuya kuzo zonke izindawo ayexoshelwe kuzo, wafika ezweni lakwaJuda, kuGedaliya, eMispa, babutha iwayini nezithelo zasehlobo ngobuningi.
UJohanani nezinduna zempi bamxwayisa uGedaliya
Lapho uJohanani nazo zonke izinduna zempi, ababesemasimini, weza kuGedaliya eMispa, bathi kuye, “ingabe uyazi ngempela ukuthi oBhahali, inkosi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni ithume u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ukuba akubulale?
Kodwa uGedaliya akakholwanga amazwi abo.
UJohanani wakhuluma kuGedaliya ngasese, wathi, "giyeke ngihambe, ngiyakuncenga, futhi ngizobulala u-Ishmayeli futhi akukho muntu ozokwazi: kungani kufanele akubulale, ukuze bonke abaJuda ababuthene kuwe bahlakazeke, futhi insali kwaJuda iyashabalala?”
Kepha uGedaliya wathi kuJohanani, “ungayenzi le nto: ngoba ukhuluma amanga ngoIshmayeli.
Futhi kwenzeka, ukuthi uIshmayeli, indodana kaNethaniya, indodana ka-Elishama, abozalo lwenkosi nezikhulu zenkosi namadoda ayishumi beza kuGedaliya eMispa.
UGedaliya akalalelanga waletha okubi kuye nakubantu
Besadla isinkwa ndawonye, wasukuma u-Ishmayeli namadoda ayishumi, ababenaye bambulala uGedaliya ngenkemba. U-Ishmayeli wambulala uGedaliya njengokwamazwi kaJohanani nezinduna zempi.
Khona-ke u-Ishmayeli wabulala wonke amaJuda, AmaKaledi, lamadoda empi, ababenaye.
Kwathi ngosuku lwesibili esembulele uGedaliya, futhi kwakungekho muntu owayekwazi, ukuthi kwafika abathile bevela eShekemi, eShilo, naseSamariya, amadoda angamashumi ayisihiyagalombili, ephucile, nezingubo zawo ziklebhukile, azisikile esandleni somnikelo nempepho ukuba akulethe endlini kaJehova..
U-Ishmayeli waphuma eMispa ukubahlangabeza, ekhala ehamba, kwaba njalo, njengoba ehlangana labo, wathi kubo, “Woza kuGedaliya.”
kwaba njalo, sebengene phakathi komuzi, u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya wababulala, wabaphonsa phakathi komgodi, inkosi u-Asa eyayenza ngenxa kaBahasha inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, yena, namadoda ayenaye.
Kepha kwafunyanwa amadoda ayishumi phakathi kwabo athi ku-Ishmayeli, “ungasibulali, ngoba sinengcebo ensimini, kakolweni, ibhali, amafutha, kanye noju.” Ngakho wayeka, futhi akababulalanga phakathi kwabafowabo.
Khona-ke u-Ishmayeli wathumba yonke insali yabantu ababeseMispa, ngisho namadodakazi enkosi, nabo bonke abantu ababesele eMispa, uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi ayemnike uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu: u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya wabathumba, wasuka ukuwelela kuma-Amoni.
Kodwa lapho uJohanani indodana kaKhareya, nazo zonke izinduna zempi ezazinaye, wezwa ngabo bonke ububi u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya abenzile, Base bewathatha wonke amadoda, wahamba ukuyokulwa no-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, bamfumana ngasemanzini amakhulu aseGibeyoni.
Manje kwenzeka, kwathi lapho bonke abantu ababeno-Ishmayeli bebona uJohanani indodana kaKhareya, nazo zonke izinduna zempi ezazinaye, basebethokoza.
Ngakho bonke abantu u-Ishmayeli ayebathumbile eMispa baphenduka babuya, waya kuJohanani indodana kaKhareya. Kodwa u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya waphunyuka kuJohanani namadoda ayisishiyagalombili, waya kubantwana bakwa-Amoni (Jeremiya 40 futhi 41).
Ngena esivumelwaneni nesitha
UGedaliya wenza isivumelwano nezinduna zamabutho futhi wabafunela okungcono kakhulu. Wababona futhi wabaphatha ngokombono wakhe. Ngakho-ke wayekholelwa ebuhleni babo nokuthi babengenayo izinhloso ezimbi, njengoba nje wayengenayo izinhloso ezimbi. UGedaliya wabathembisa ukuthi wayengeke abalimaze waze wabanika izipho.
Kodwa uGedaliya wayengazi ukuthi akubona bonke ababecabanga njengaye futhi babefana naye futhi benezinhloso ezifanayo nezakhe.. Wayengazi ukuthi isitha sakhe, owayengemva kwempilo yakhe, wayephakathi kwezinduna zamabutho.
UGedaliya akakubonanga lokho uJohanani nezinye izinduna zamabutho, ngaphandle kuka-Ishmayeli, wabona.
Lapho uJohanani nezinduna zamabutho bethola ukuthi oBhahali, inkosi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni yayithumele u-Ishmayeli ukuba abulale uGedaliya, baya kuGedaliya ukumxwayisa.
Bacela kuGedaliya imvume yokubhekana nalobu bubi, ngaphambi kokuba lobu bubi bufike kuGedaliya.
Iyini ingozi yokungalaleli nokungazinaki izixwayiso?
Kepha uGedaliya akakholwanga amazwi kaJohanani, wala amazwi kaJohanani nezinduna zempi, wahlulela ngokubona kwakhe.; njengalokho akubona ku-Ishmayeli. UGedaliya akabonanga bubi kulowo muntu, owayengemva kwempilo yakhe. Cha, kungenjalo wayeyonika imvume kuJohanani nezinduna zempi.
Ngisho nalapho uJohanani efika okwesibili kuGedaliya ngasese ukuze amxwayise futhi amnikeze imvume, UGedaliya akazange awakholelwe amazwi akhe futhi akalalelanga.
Esikhundleni sokukholelwa amazwi akhe nokulalela amazwi akhe, UGedaliya wasola uJohanani ngokuthi ungumqambimanga, ngoba uIshmayeli wayengekho njengoba uJohanani amchaza.
Ngokungalaleli amazwi kaJohanani futhi enqabe amazwi akhe nangokuncika kokwakhe ukuqonda, UGedaliya waya ekubhujisweni kwakhe
Ukukhaphela
NjengoJude, owazenza umngane kaJesu, kodwa eqinisweni, wayeyisitha sakhe, futhi njengoba ehlezi etafuleni likaJesu futhi edla esidlweni sakhe uSathane (-bi) wangena kuye wafeza icebo lakhe elibi, U-Ishmayeli naye wazenza umngane kaGedaliya futhi wenza ukuba amethembe ngamanga, kodwa eqinisweni, wayeyisitha sakhe futhi ehlezi etafuleni likaGedaliya edla ukudla kwakhe, ububi obukuye bafeza icebo lakhe, wambulala uGedaliya ngenkemba.
UGedaliya akalalelanga futhi wathembela kokwakhe ukuqonda. Wakholelwa kumuntu ongalungile futhi wangena esivumelwaneni nobungane nomuntu, obebonakala ukuthi umngani wakhe ngaphandle kodwa ngaphakathi, wayeyisitha sakhe.
Ngenxa yobuwula bukaGedaliya nangenxa yokuthi wayeholwa izingqondo nemizwa yakhe akabonanga bubi ku-Ishmayeli futhi wazishaya indiva izixwayiso.. Akazange abhekane nobubi ngakho ububi babhekana noGedaliya.
Ngokungalaleli izixwayiso, Kwakungeyena uGedaliya yedwa, owabhekana nemiphumela eyinhlekelele empilweni yakhe kodwa nendawo ahlala kuyo; amaJuda, amaKaledi, ababekhona, lamadoda angamatshumi ayisikhombisa, ababesendleleni besuka eShekemi baya eMispa nabanye abakhileyo kwaJuda, ababethunjiwe babhekana nemiphumela eyinhlekelele.
Ukuphendula imizwa nemizwa yabantu
U-Ishmayeli akazange nje azi ukuthi yini okwakumelwe ayenze ukuze uGedaliya amethembe, kodwa futhi ukuze azuze ukwethenjwa ngamadoda angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili aseShekemi. Wathi efika kubo wakhala indlela yonke. Wathatha indima yokuba isisulu futhi wabakhohlisa ngokusebenzisa imizwa yakhe kanye nemizwa yabo nangokukhuluma amanga. Ngakho-ke wasebenzisa futhi wadukisa amadoda angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili ngemizwelo yakhe nangamazwi akhe, owabangenisa ogibeni lwakhe, wabulala abangamashumi ayisikhombisa kubo.
U-Ishmayeli wabathumba bonke abantu bakwaJuda, wabathumba kanye nabanye abantu abayishumi.
Ukuguqula isitha sibe umngane
Isitha sazi kahle ukuthi yini okufanele siyenze ukuze sibhubhise isitha saso. Okungukuthi, ngokuthola ukumethemba nangokuba umngane wakhe. Isitha sazi, ukuthi uma nje engathola ukwethenjwa yisitha sakhe futhi abe umngane wakhe, angafeza icebo lakhe elibi.
UJohanani wamxwayisa uGedaliya kabili, kepha uGedaliya akamlalelanga. Ngoba akazange alalele usizi olukhulu lwehlela phezu kwakhe nabo bonke abakhileyo kwaJuda.
Futhi lesi simo sisenzeka emhlabeni, esontweni, nasezimpilweni zabantu.
Abantu abaningi bafana nse noGedaliya. Bagcwele ukuzidla futhi balandela inyama. Abafuni ukulalela abanye, ababaxwayisa ngezingozi. Kunalokho, bacabanga ukuthi bazi kangcono futhi bacabanga ukuthi baqinisile ngakho-ke abalaleli futhi bayazenqaba izixwayiso.
Bancika ekuqondeni kwabo siqu nasekuqondeni, okuyinto ezikhathini eziningi ezakhiwe yimizwa yabo; ngalokho abakubonayo nabakuzwayo, imizwelo nemizwa yabo, kanye nokuhlakanipha kwenyama nolwazi
Ngakho-ke abaningi bayadukiswa futhi bangena ezivumelwaneni nasebunganini nalabo okungafanele bangene nabo ezivumelwaneni nasebunganini..
Ngoba nakuba bengase babonakale benobungane futhi beqotho ngaphandle futhi babonakale benezinhloso ezinhle futhi bakhulume amazwi amahle nangcwele, azifani ngaphakathi futhi azinazo izinhloso ezinhle kodwa zinezinhloso ezimbi.
Kodwa ngenxa yokungazi kwendoda endala yenyama, oholwa yizinzwa zakhe, imizwa, nemizwelo, futhi ngoba siphila emhlabeni, lapho i uthando olusha uwunqobile umhlaba futhi ungase ungaqapheli futhi ugxeke, kodwa kufanele ibe positive futhi ikhulume izinto ezinhle kuphela futhi yamukele konke ukuziphatha, udeveli angaba nendlela yakhe futhi enze umnyakazo wakhe omkhulu endaweni kamoya nemvelo.
AmaKristu, abangazilaleli izixwayiso
Lokhu sikubona ekuphileni kwamaKristu lapho amaKristu esikanye nawo ezama ukuxwayisa abafowabo noma odadewabo ngabo (ngokomoya) ububi, kodwa abezwa. Izikhathi eziningi, la maKristu angawenyama futhi abuswa umqondo futhi akazilaleli izixwayiso ze (ngokomoya) ububi, izimfundiso zamanga kanye/noma kuveza ubunjalo bangempela babantu, ababonakala bengokomoya kodwa empeleni bengenjalo, futhi benqabe izixwayiso futhi bahambe ngendlela yabo, njengoGedaliya.
Ngoba bazi kangcono futhi bathembele kokwabo ukuqonda. Izikhathi eziningi bacabanga ukuthi bahlukile kulo mthetho.
Ngakho-ke, amaKristu amaningi asenqaba iseluleko neziqondiso zamaKristu akanye nawo kanye nesibonelo, ngena ezifundweni ezibafundisa okuphambene nokukholwa futhi zibenze baphambuke kuJesu; Izwi futhi abamdingi uNkulunkulu futhi ekugcineni balahle ukholo lwabo.
Noma amakholwa enyama angena ebunganini nabangakholwa, ababayengayo babenze bangabi nandaba nesono futhi babadonsele emhlabeni.
Futhi masingakhohlwa amakholwa enyama, abangena ezivumelwaneni zomshado nabangakholwa, abangakholelwa kuNkulunkulu noma abanenye inkolo noma (empumalanga) uhlelo lwefilosofi nezinkolelo, naphezu kwezixwayiso zamakholwa esikanye nawo. Izikhathi eziningi bacabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukuhlelile, kuyilapho uNkulunkulu ecace kakhulu eZwini laKhe. Ngenxa yokuziqhenya nokuhlubuka eZwini, abantu abaningi balethe ububi phezu kwabo. Nakuba isoka labo lingase lithandeke futhi libonakale linobungane, -nothando, -khathazayo, njll. kusukela ngaphandle, ngaphakathi babi futhi ngesikhathi somshado, lobu bubi buzobonakala.
Kunezibonelo eziningi ezengeziwe zezimo ekuphileni, lapho amakholwa engazimisele ngokulalela izixwayiso zabanye futhi engafuni ukulungiswa, futhi ngenxa yalokho, bazilethela okubi.
Lesi yisithelo somuntu omdala wenyama, njengoba nje sibona empilweni kaGedaliya, owayengumuntu omdala futhi eholwa yinyama yakhe futhi ethembele kokwakhe ukuqonda.
Ibandla alizilaleli izixwayiso
Kwenzeka okufanayo nasebandleni. Kukhona abaholi, abaqokwa ebandleni futhi abasendleleni efanele, kodwa ngezimo nangethonya lezwe noma ithonya lamakholwa enyama, bangena ezindleleni, okungeyona ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu.
Ezinye izimbangela zingase zibe, ukuthi bagcwalise ingqondo yabo ngolwazi lwenyama, ukuhlakanipha, nezinto zalomhlaba futhi uzibandakanye nazo (empumalanga) amafilosofi nezakhi zezimfundiso zasempumalanga futhi bathonywe imimoya emibi futhi bafane nezwe bashiye uJesu; iZwi bese ungena (ukusebenzelana nemimoya) izindlela, okuholela ezinxushunxushwini nasekubhujisweni.
Baqhamuka nezimfundiso zamanga ezingagxili kuJesu Kristu nokumelela nokumisa uMbuso waKhe emhlabeni nokusindisa imiphefumulo eminingi ekufeni., kodwa bagxile kubo futhi bagcwalise izinkanuko zenyama kanye nezifiso kanye nezidingo zomuntu.
Bakhuluma umyalezo ofanayo nowomhlaba futhi bayizikhulumi ezikhuthazayo futhi Abaqeqeshi bempilo, esikhundleni sobaba nabaholi bomoya, ophakamisa, khulisa, futhi uqondise imiphefumulo futhi uyiholele ekuphileni okuphakade (Funda futhi: Abaqeqeshi bempilo esikhundleni sobaba abangokomoya).
Izikhathi eziningi, abaholi, abangase babonakale bengokomoya kodwa empeleni bengokwenyama futhi bethembele kokwabo ukuqonda, ukuhlakanipha kwenyama, ulwazi, kanye nokuqonda futhi baholwa yimizwa yabo, imizwa, nemizwelo, zibandakanye nabantu, abanezinhloso ezingalungile futhi abafuna isikhundla, ibizo, imali, noma bafuna ukuthuthukisa ezabo izimfundiso futhi (okungaphezu kwemvelo) isipiliyoni noma...
Bayakhohlisa futhi benza ngobuqotho, enobungane, nangokomoya ukuze uzuze ukwethenjwa abaholi futhi babe abangane nabo ukuze bafeze i-ajenda yabo efihliwe.
Bathonya abaholi futhi baqinisekise ukuthi bashumayela lokho abafuna ukukuzwa futhi baqinise inyama yabo. Futhi ngakho bayehlisa futhi balungise izindinganiso nemiyalo yeZwi entandweni, izinkanuko, izifiso, lezidingo zenyama (Funda futhi: Ngabe uNkulunkulu uzoshintsha intando yakhe ngezinkanuko nezifiso zenyama?)
Abaholi kufanele baphefumulelwe nguMoya oNgcwele nangeZwi futhi bashumayele ngoMoya umyalezo kaNkulunkulu, kodwa esikhundleni salokho, bayalalela futhi bathonywe amakholwa enyama futhi bashumayele imiyalezo yenyama ukuze bafeze izifiso nezidingo zomuntu wenyama..
Kuyaye kwenzeke ukuthi umholi angasazi isimo kanye nezinhloso ezimbi nezimbi zomuntu, ngoba baphakathi kwawo noma baphuphuthekiswe yinyama noma izimo, kodwa ukuthi ikholwa kanye nathi(s) uyayibona ingozi abesexwayisa umholi, kodwa izikhathi eziningi umholi akalaleli.
Ngoba abaholi abaningi abazilaleli izixwayiso futhi bayazenqaba izixwayiso, abaholi abaningi abaziletheli ububi kuphela kodwa phezu kwebandla lonke. Ngenxa yalokhu, ukukhanya emadolobheni amaningi nasemadolobheni kuyacisha futhi amabandla amaningi ahlezi ebumnyameni (Funda futhi: Isonto lihlezi ebumnyameni).
Futhi yilokho kanye udeveli akufunayo. Ngoba lapho ukukhanya kucishiwe, Abantu, abahlala ebumnyameni abasayikudonselwa ekukhanyeni futhi bayohlala embusweni wakhe.
Qaphela izimpisi ezembathe isikhumba semvu!
Qaphela Abaprofethi Bamanga, eza kuwe ezingutsheni zezimvu, Kepha ngaphakathi bayizimpisi eziphangayo (Mathewu 7:15)
UJesu akashongo, “qaphelani izimpisi”. Ngoba izikhathi eziningi usathane, amademoni (izingelosi eziwile), Amadodana kaDeveli (abangakholwayo) bavame ukubonakala ngamakholwa njengezimpisi. Ngakho-ke izimpisi zaziyobonakala kalula. Kepha uJesu wathi, “xwayani abaprofethi bamanga, eza kuwe ezingutsheni zezimvu, kodwa ngaphakathi bayizimpisi eziphangayo”.
Kusukela ngaphandle, laba baprofethi bamanga babukeka njengezimvu, ngakho-ke kunzima ukuzibona.
Kusukela ngaphandle, awukwazi ukubona ukuthi azizona izimvu zeqiniso, abangabezimvu zikaJesu.
Kodwa lezi zimvu akuzona ezikaJesu futhi ngenxa yalokho azililaleli izwi Lakhe futhi aziphili ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu..
Banomsebenzi owodwa kuphela futhi lokho ukudala isiphithiphithi, ukweba, futhi babhubhise njengoyise.
Impisi, omi ngaphandle kothango angeke enze okubi ngoba uthango luhlukanisa impisi nezimvu. Kodwa ngokushesha lapho isango lingagadiwe noma lingavalwanga kahle noma impisi ithola enye indlela yokungena esibayeni sezimvu, impisi ingabangela umonakalo omkhulu futhi ilimaze futhi ibulale izimvu eziningi. Ngoba leyo yimvelo yempisi; ukubulala izimvu.
Kuyafana endaweni yomoya. Lapho isango lokuphila komuntu noma ibandla aligadiwe umKristu wamanga, umprofethi, uthisha, noma umphostoli angangena kalula esontweni futhi asebenzise yabo (ngokomoya) ulwazi, amazwi aqotho nadukisayo, imizwelo, nemizwa yokuzuza ukwethenjwa kwamakholwa nabaholi futhi kudaleke omkhulu umonakalo ebandleni (Funda futhi: Obani izimpisi ezembethe isikhumba sezimvu, abadala umonakalo?).
Asibona abangenalwazi ngamaqhinga kaSathane
Akufanele sibe abangenalwazi ngethuluzi likaSathane. Kodwa namuhla, amaKristu amaningi alele futhi aphuphuthekiswe ubumnyama. KunamaKristu ambalwa kuphela, abangokomoya futhi baqaphela amacebo amabi kaSathane futhi bawamise.
Yilabo kuphela, abazelwe kabusha bengaholwa yinyama, kodwa hambani emva kweZwi noMoya futhi nahlukanisa okuhle nokubi futhi nahlukanise imimoya, uyobona futhi embule imisebenzi kaSathane, osebenzisa abantu ukufeza inhloso yakhe. They vimbela ukuthi izivumelwano zenziwa nesitha (Funda futhi: Ingabe asibona abangenalwazi ngamacebo kaSathane?).
Ngakho-ke, ungaqhoshi futhi udlubulundele futhi unganqabi isixwayiso. Kodwa lalela futhi ubathathe ngokungathi sína futhi ubavivinye eZwini, ukuze avimbele ububi ukuba bungene futhi afeze umsebenzi wakhe obhubhisayo empilweni yakho nasebandleni.
'Usawoti womhlaba’
