KuJoel 2:28, UZimu wathembisa ukuthi uzothulula umoya wakhe phezu kwayo yonke inyama. Baningi abantu, OKUKHOLWAZI abamfundisweni babantu abasethembiso kuJoweli mayelana nokuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu kuze kube manje futhi kuzokwenzeka ezinsukwini zokugcina futhi balinda lezinsuku zokugcina zomoya kaNkulunkulu. Kepha ingabe lebhayibheli likhona? Ngabe kuzoba nokunye ukuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni? Noma ingabe amagama avela kumprofethi uJoweli asevele agcwalisile futhi wabhala ngoJoweli ngesigameko sokuthululwa komoya ongcwele ngosuku lwePhentekhosti?
"Kuzakufika emva kwalokho, Ukuthi ngiyakuthulula umoya wami phezu kwenyama yonke "
Kuyakuza emva kwalokho, ukuthi ngithululele umoya wami phezu kwenyama yonke; amadodana enu namadodakazi enu ayakuprofetha, abadala benu bayakuphupha amaphupho, izinsizwa zenu ziyobona imibono: Naphezu kwezinceku nezincekukazi ngalezo zinsuku ngiyakuthulula uMoya wami. Futhi ngizobonakalisa izimangaliso ezulwini nasemhlabeni, igazi, nomlilo, nezinsika zentuthu. Ilanga lizoguqulwa laba ubumnyama, nenyanga igazi, ngaphambi kosuku olukhulu nolwesabekayo lweNkosi. Futhi kuyokwenzeka, Ukuthi noma ngubani obizayo igama leNkosi lizokhululwa: Ngoba eNtabeni iZiyoni naseJerusalema kuyakukhululwa, Njengoba iNkosi ikusho, nasensalweni uJehova azokubiza ngayo (UJoweli 2:28-32)
Kepha manje yizwa, O Jakobe inceku yami; no-Israyeli, engikhethe: Usho kanje uJehova uJehova, wakubeka esibelethweni, okuzokusiza; Ungesabi, O Jacob, Inceku yami; futhi wena, Jesurun, engikhethe. Ngoba ngizothela amanzi phezu kwakhe owomile, nezikhukhula emhlabathini owomile: Ngizothulula umoya wami embewu yakho, nesibusiso sami ngenzalo yakho (Isaya 44:1-3)
Umprofethi uJoel wayengeyena kuphela, owaprofeta ngokuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu. Abanye abaningi, Phakathi kwalokho kwakungumprofethi u-Isaya, Umprofethi uHezekeli nakaqiniso uJesu Kristu, waprofeta ngokuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu ukuza komoya ongcwele (Oh. UHezekeli 11:19-20; 36:26-27; 37:1-14, UJohane 14:16-26; 15:26-27; 16:7-16; IzEnzo 1:8).
Kepha yize uNkulunkulu athembisa ukuthi uzothulula umoya wakhe phezu kwayo yonke inyama, Ukuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu akwenzekanga ngokushesha.
Akukaziwa lapho kubhalwe incwadi ethi Brofethi kaJoweli. Izinsuku ezahlukahlukene zezazi ziyahlukahluka kusuka 835-200 BC *. Ngakho-ke, Ngeke sinqume ukuthi imingaki iminyaka emingaki ngaphambi kokuba isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu sagcwaliseka. Kepha singabona ukuthi kwathatha iminyaka engamakhulu ambalwa, Ngaphambi kwesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu mayelana nokuthululwa komoya wakhe kwagcwaliseka, Njengesithembiso sikaNkulunkulu ngokuza kukaMesiya (Funda futhi: ‘Silinde Isithembiso SikaMesiya‘)
Futhi ngakho-ke abantu bakaNkulunkulu baphila ngokulindela isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu ngokuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu phezu kwayo yonke inyama. Abantu bebengazi ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenzeka nini, kodwa ukuthi kuzokwenzeka kwakuyiqiniso futhi kuqinisekile.
Ukuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu ngosuku lwePhentekhosti
Futhi lapho usuku lwePhentekhosti lwenzeka ngokugcwele, bonke babene-accord eyodwa endaweni eyodwa. Futhi kungazelelwe kwavela umsindo ovela ezulwini njengomoya onamandla, Futhi yagcwalisa yonke indlu ababehlala kuyo. Kwabonakala kubo izilimi ezinjengobavukile zinjengomlilo, Futhi yahlala phezu kwayo ngamunye wabo. Futhi bonke bagcwala ngoMoya oNgcwele, futhi waqala ukukhuluma ngezinye izilimi, Njengoba umoya ubanikeza inkulumo.
Futhi kwakukhona ukuhlala eJerusalema amaJuda, amadoda azinikele, Kuzo zonke izizwe eziphansi kwezulu. Manje lapho lokhu kuhlolwe phesheya, Isixuku sahlangana ndawonye, futhi kwahlazeka, Ngoba ukuthi wonke umuntu uzwele bekhuluma ngolimi lwakhe. Futhi bonke bamangala bamangala, ukusho omunye komunye komunye, Bheka, Akubona bonke laba abakhuluma amaGalileeans? Futhi sizwa kanjani yilowo nalowo olimini lwethu, lapho sazalwa khona? Amabele, namaMede, nama-Elamu, kanye nabahlali baseMesopotamia, naseJudiya, kanye ne-cappadocia, ePontus, ne-Asia, I-phrygia, kanye nePamfiliya, eGibhithe, nasezingxenyeni zeLibya mayelana neCyrene, kanye nabantu abangabazi baseRoma, AmaJuda namaproselithe, Izikebhe nama-Arabians, Siyabazwa bekhuluma ngezilimi zethu imisebenzi emangalisayo kaNkulunkulu. Futhi bonke bamangala, futhi bebengabaza, ukusho omunye komunye komunye, Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Abanye bahlekisa, La madoda agcwele iwayini elisha.
Kepha uPeter, Ukusukuma neshumi nanye, waphakamisa izwi lakhe, wathi kubo, Nina bantu baseJudiya, Nonke nina nonke ehlala eJerusalema, yiba nguwe, futhi wazwa amazwi ami: Ngoba lokhu akudakwanga, Njengoba nicabanga, Ukubona ukuthi kuyihora lesithathu losuku. Kepha yilokhu okwashiwo ngumprofethi uJoweli; Futhi kuzokwenzeka ezinsukwini zokugcina, kusho uNkulunkulu, Ngizothululela emoyeni wami kuyo yonke inyama: amadodana enu namadodakazi enu ayakuprofetha, Izinsizwa zakho zizobona imibono, Amadoda akho amadala azophupha amaphupho: Ezincekwini zami nezincekukazi zami ngizothululela ngalezo zinsuku zomoya wami; futhi bayoprofeta: Futhi ngizobona izimangaliso ezulwini ngenhla, nezimpawu emhlabeni ngaphansi; igazi, nomlilo, nomphunga wentuthu: Ilanga lizoguqulwa laba ubumnyama, nenyanga igazi, Ngaphambi kwalolo suku olukhulu noluphawu lweNkosi: Futhi kuyokwenzeka, ukuthi noma ngubani obiza igama leNkosi uyakusindiswa (IzEnzo 2:1-21)
Umoya weNkosi, owafika kwezinye, owamiswa uNkulunkulu esivumelwaneni esidala futhi ethembekile kuNkulunkulu futhi ekhuluma ngegama lakhe, Manje yathululelwa phezu kwayo yonke inyama; Kulabo abakholelwa kuKristu futhi baphenduka futhi babhapathizwa futhi bamlandela uJesu Kristu futhi bamlalela. UMoya oNgcwele, omunye uMduduzi, wayeze emhlabeni futhi wahlala endodeni.
I 120 Abafundi bakaJesu babengowokuqala, owamukela umoya ongcwele futhi wagcwala umoya ongcwele. Ke cishe 3000 abantu, owawungeyodwa indlu yakwa-Israyeli futhi wezwa ubufakazi bukaPhetro ngoJesu Kristu, UMesiya futhi wakholwa amazwi kaPetru futhi aphenduka futhi abhapathizwa, wamukela umoya ongcwele.
Isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu nokuza kukaMoya oNgcwele akuzange kuhloswe nje kuphela ngembewu kaJakobe; Israyeli, Kepha nakwabezizwe, Obani ngokukholwa kuKristu ababeyophenduka futhi babhapathizwe. Ngoba uNkulunkulu akayona abantu abahlonishwayo, Kepha ezizweni zonke, umuntu owesabayo futhi esebenza ukulunga uyamukelwa kanye naye.
Ngakho-ke abeZizwe Bokuqala, UKorneliyu nomndeni wakhe nabangane bakhe abakhulu bathola ngokukholwa umoya ongcwele ngemuva kokuzwa amazwi kaPhetro nobufakazi bakhe ngoJesu Kristu futhi baba yindalo entsha (IzEnzo 10, AmaRoma 10:11-12).
Ukugcwaliseka kwesithembiso sokuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu ngomprofethi uJoel
UPeter ukuqinisekisile, ukuthi lokho okwakwenzekile ngosuku lwePhentekhosti, yilokho umprofethi uJoweli ayeprofethile. Ngakho-ke amazwi kaNkulunkulu, okwakukhulunywa ngawo ngomphorofidi uJoweli kwagcwaliseka.
Izinsuku Zokugcina
UNkulunkulu, Obani abasezikhathini zezinhlelo kanye nabaphathi abahlukahlukene bakhuluma ngesikhathi esedlule kobaba ngabaprofethi, Kulezi zinsuku zokugcina okukhulunywa nathi ngendodana yakhe, anendlalifa esikhundleni sazo zonke izinto, futhi wabhala nobani umhlaba (IsiHebheru 1:1-2)
UPeter akazange aqinisekisile kuphela ngamazwi akhe lokho okwaprofethwa nguJoel mayelana nokuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu, Kepha uPhetro waqinisekisa nokuthi baphila ezinsukwini zokugcina.
Usakhemvamela, Obani abaningi okungenzeka ukuthi umbhali wencwadi yesiHeberu, futhi wabhala ukuthi baphila ezinsukwini zokugcina.
Baphila ezinsukwini zokugcina futhi siphila ezinsukwini zokugcina. Nakho konke uJesu aprofethe ngesibonakaliso sokuza kwakhe nokuphela komhlaba, kuzokwenzeka ekugcineni kwezinsuku zokugcina (Funda futhi: ‘Izikhundla ezintathu ezisebhayibhelini‘).
Ngabe kuzoba nokunye ukuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina?
Amagama kaJoel mayelana nokuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu agcwalisiwe ngosuku lwePentekosti. Ngosuku lwePentekosti, UMoya oNgcwele wafika kanye nakubo bonke emhlabeni futhi uhlala emadodaneni kaNkulunkulu (kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane), Obani abangabakhe futhi bathobele uJesu Kristu.
Akusayikubakho okunye ukukhishwa komoya kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, Yize kukhona izimfundiso eziningi zamanga, Yisho ukuthi amazwi kaJoel awagcwalisiwe okwamanje futhi alindele ukukhishwa okunamandla kakhulu komoya ongcwele kuyo yonke inyama, -phi, Ngokusho kwabo kumele kube ukubonakaliswa okuhle nokubukwa okunamandla. Babheke phambili entweni esele yenzekile.
Kepha lokho ikakhulukazi ngoba okulindelwe kwabo akuhambelani neZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Ngamagama nezimfundiso zabantu, badale isithombe sokuthululwa komoya kaNkulunkulu ongenakuvumelana namaqiniso. Ngakho-ke balinde okuthile okungasoze kwafika.
Njengabantwana abaningi abangamaJuda, Obani abaka-Israali, Sisalinde isithembiso sikaNkulunkulu ngokuza kukaMesiya futhi sibheke ngabomvu, Ngenkathi zonke iziprofetho eziphathelene nokuza kukaMesiya sezigcwalisiwe futhi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu uJesu Kristu, uMesiya, selivele lifikile.
Wayesezweni, Futhi umhlaba wenziwa nguye, Futhi umhlaba wawungayi. Weza edwa, futhi eyakhe yamukele (UJohane 1:19-20)
Kepha abaningi ababonanga futhi bamvuma njengoMesiya wabo, Ngobani? Ngoba baphuphuthekisiwe futhi abamazi uNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso nangemiBhalo nokulindela kwabo uMesiya kwakuhlukile kwangempela nokuthi ungubani ngempela (A.O. Uyise 29:9-12, UJohane 5:37-47; 12:37-41, AmaRoma 11:7-10).
