Kusambulo 2:13 UJesu wakhuluma ngesihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane ePhergamo (ePhergamoni). IPhergamoni lalingomunye wemizi eyisikhombisa, uJesu akhuluma ngakho eNcwadini yesAmbulo. Amadolobha ayisikhombisa ayeyingxenye ye-Asia Minor futhi engaphansi kombuso wamaRoma. Naphezu kokunqotshwa kwamaRoma, isiko lamaGreki laligcwele. Ngakho-ke, imizi yayigcwele ukusebenzelana nemimoya. Nsuku zonke amasonto ayebhekene nokukhonza izithombe, ubuhedeni (ucansi) imikhuba namasiko, imidlalogu Imidlalo, ubuthakathi, ukubuwula umthetho, nobufebe. Ngesikhathi uJesu’ ukuvakashelwa kuJohane esiqhingini sasePhatmose, UJesu wakhuluma ngesihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane (isihlalo sikaSathane). Sasikuphi isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane? Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane sasisePhergamo (ePhergamoni), lapho uSathane ahlala khona. Kodwa uJesu wayesho ukuthini ngesihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane?
Lithini iBhayibheli ngomuzi wasePhergamo?
Kusambulo 2:12-13 UJesu wathi, ukuthi uSathane wayehlala ePhergamo nokuthi isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane noma isihlalo sikaSathane sasisePhergamo..
Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla lasePhergamo loba; Nakhu akushoyo Lowo onenkemba ebukhali esika nhlangothi zombili; ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nalapho uhlala khona, nalapho kukhona isihlalo sikaSathane: ubambe ibizo lami, futhi kawuphikanga ukholo lwaMi, ngisho nangalezo zinsuku lapho u-Antipase ayengumfel’ ukholo Wami othembekile, owabulawa phakathi kwenu, lapho uSathane ehlala khona (IsAmbulo 2:12-13)
I
Uma isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane noma isihlalo sikaSathane sasisePhergamo kusho ukuthi uSathane wayenegunya endaweni yasePhergamo nokuthi wayebusa umuzi.. Ngakho-ke, umuzi wonke wawungaphansi kwegunya likaSathane.
USathane wabusa ePhergamu ngemisebenzi nezimpilo zabantu. Abantu, ababehlala ePhergamo bakhonza uSathane futhi wanika uSathane amandla ngemisebenzi yabo nangempilo ababeyiphila.
Udeveli wanika abantu lokho ababekufuna, okungukuthi ukuhlakanipha, ulwazi, ukuchuma, amandla, ukuzijabulisa futhi ukuphulukisa.
Uma sibheka izakhiwo, isiko, imisebenzi kanye nezimpilo zabantu, sizothola ukuthi uSathane wasimisa kanjani isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ePhergamo. (Funda futhi: Amandla kasathane asetshenziswa yisono).
I-Acropolis
IPergamo yayiyinhloko-dolobha yesiko lamaGreki (Umphetho) isiko. Naphezu kokunqotshwa kwamaRoma, isiko lamaGreki laligcwele. Ku 29 I-BC Pergamo yaba inhloko-dolobha yase-Asia Minor. Futhi ithempeli lokuqala lamaRoma lakhiwa ngokuhlonipha iRoma no-August umbuso.
I (inkosi) izigodlo, amathempeli amaqaba, i-altare lasePhergamoni, umtapo wolwazi omkhulu, i-gymnasia, amathiyetha, i-amphitheatre, i-stoa, iPrytaneion (isihlalo sikahulumeni; isakhiwo lapho uhulumeni esebenzisa khona igunya), indawo yemakethe (manje) nemithombo yonke yayakhiwe e-Acropolis yasePhergamo.
Amathempeli amaqaba
Udeveli waphakanyiswa futhi wakhulekelwa emathempelini amaqaba; ithempeli lika-Athena, ithempeli likaDiyonisi, ithempeli likaDemeter, ithempeli laseRoma kanye no-August, kanye nethempeli likaHera.
Ngekhulu lesibili AD, kwakhiwa ithempeli likaTrajan kanye nethempeli laseGibhithe. Ithempeli likaTrajan lakhiwa ngenjongo yokuhlonipha umbusi uTrajan. Ithempeli laseGibhithe lakhiwa onkulunkulu baseGibhithe uSerapis no-Isis. Leli thempeli laseGibhithe libizwa nangokuthi i-Red Basilica.
Lapho eLobukholwa liba inkolo yezwe yombuso wamaRoma, amathempeli amaqaba asendulo, kuhlanganise ne-Red Basilica, zazisetshenziswa njengamasonto.
I-altare elikhulu lasePhergamoni; i-altare likaZeyusi
Abantu banikela imihlatshelo kaSathane ema-altare, kuhlanganise ne-altare elikhulu lasePhergamoni. I-altare elikhulu lasePhergamoni lakhiwa kwelinye lamathala e-Acropolis lapho kuhlonishwa khona uZeyusi no-Athena..
Nakuba i-altare elikhulu lasePhergamoni libizwa nangokuthi i-altare likaZeyusi, unkulunkulu ophakeme wamaGreki nonkulunkulu wesibhakabhaka, abukho ubufakazi obanele bokubuqinisekisa.
Indawo yokuzivocavoca kanye nomtapo wolwazi omkhulu
USathane wanika abantu bakhe ukuhlakanipha, ulwazi, kanye nemibono. USathane wafundisa abantu bakhe endaweni yokuzivocavoca. Wafunda abafundi bakhe ukubhala, futhi ufunde, futhi bafundiswa izazi zefilosofi, futhi wayezilolongela ezemidlalo enqunu
Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi kwakukhulekelwa onkulunkulu bamaGreki endaweni yokuzivocavoca, kodwa futhi onkulunkulu baseGibhithe. Njengoba amaGreki amukela izici eziningi zaseGibhithe.
Ngaphandle kwe-gymnasium, abantu nabo bafundiswa ePhergamo’ umtapo wolwazi omkhulu, obekuwumtapo wezincwadi wesibili ngobukhulu emhlabeni
Amatiyetha
USathane wayegcina abantu bakhe bematasa futhi ebajabulisa ngo-a.o. i-amphitheatre, amatiyetha, futhi wabenza bazipholele emabhathini ashisayo.
I-Asclepeion; isikhungo sezokwelapha
USathane wenza konke, kuhlanganise nendawo lapho abantu bakhe babengaya khona ukuze baphulukiswe. Ngoba ePhergamoni kwakukhona ne-Asclepeion, okwakuyithempeli lamaqaba lika-Asclepius.
Lelithempeli eliphilisayo (isikhungo sezokwelapha kanye nesanatorium yasendulo) yakhiwe futhi yanikezelwa ku-Asclepius; unkulunkulu wokuqala ongudokotela-demi ezinganekwaneni zamaGreki kanye nonkulunkulu wezokwelapha nokuphulukisa.
U-Asclepius wayeyindodana ka-Apollo noCoronis futhi enamandla okuphulukisa. Abantu abaningi bakholelwa emandleni akhe okuphulukisa futhi ngenxa yalokho, beza e-Asclepion ukuze baphulukiswe.
E-Asclepeion kwakukhona nezindawo zokugeza ezishisayo, inkundla yezemidlalo, indawo yokuzivocavoca, umtapo wolwazi, kanye neshashalazi. Ngoba kwakukholelwa ukuthi ukuphumula, ukuzivocavoca, kanye nokuphumula ngendlela yokuzijabulisa kungakhuthaza indlela yokuphila enempilo futhi kube nengxenye enqubweni yokwelapha. Odokotela bafundiswa futhi baqeqeshwa e-Asclepeion.
Abapristi be-Asclepeion; odokotela
Ama-Asclepiades ayengabapristi basethempelini base-Asclepeion futhi babebizwa ngokuthi odokotela. Omunye wodokotela abadume kakhulu, obuye abhekwe njengomsunguli wemithi kwaba Hippocrates.
I isifungo sikaHippocrates isuka e-Asclepeion of Kos futhi yaqale yathathwa izazi zakhe njengohlobo oluthile lwesiko lokuqalwa..
Isifungo sikaHippocrates sisasetshenziswa nanamuhla odokotela. Umhlaba ukubiza ngezimiso zokuziphatha zobungcweti. Kepha empeleni, odokotela bazibophezela kunkulunkulu wemithi u-Asclepius, ongamandla amademoni aphuma embusweni wobumnyama.
Kodwa uHippocrates kwakungeyena yedwa udokotela owaziwayo. Omunye udokotela owaziwayo kwakunguGalen.
UGalen waqala izifundo zakhe nokuqeqeshwa kwezokwelapha e-Asclepeion ePergamos.
Uyise kaGalen ekuqaleni wayefuna indodana yakhe ifunde ifilosofi noma ezombangazwe. Kodwa lapho uyise kaGalen ethola iphupho kunkulunkulu u-Asclepius, lapho u-Asclepius eyala khona uyise kaGalen ukuba athumele indodana yakhe e-Asclepeion ukuze iyofundela ubudokotela, Uyise kaGalen walalela izwi lika-Asclepius futhi wathumela indodana yakhe e-Asclepeion.
Abapristi be-Asclepeion bazinikela ethempelini futhi bathola ukuqonda nezambulo ezivela ku-Asclepius.
I-sclepiusfeasts
Njalo eminyakeni emine ama-Asclepiusfeasts ayeba nemidlalo (imidlalogu Imidlalo), abenziwa benqunu, nokudansa, idrama, nemincintiswano yomculo wokudumisa unkulunkulu u-Asclepius. Imidlalo yaqala ngosuku lokuqala ngomhlatshelo kunkulunkulu u-Asclepius.
Ithempeli lilala e-Asclepeion
I-Asclepeion yaziwa kakhulu ngokulala kwayo ethempelini. Ngemva kokulandela amasiko athile, njengemihlatshelo konkulunkulu, ukuthandaza amafomula omthandazo akhethekile, kanye nokuhlanzwa okungokwesiko, isiguli saya endlini yokulala ethempelini.
Endlini yokulala, baluthwa ingqondo. Ngesikhathi belele, babenethemba lokuthi u-Asclepius wayezobaphulukisa noma bazothola iphupho ngaye noma ngomunye wabantwana bakhe (Oh. Inhlanzeko, I-Panacea, kanye ne-Aceso). Lapho bethola iphupho, baya kumpristi ka-Asclepius (udokotela).
Umpristi ka-Asclepius wayehlaziya iphupho futhi anikeze ukwelashwa. Ngezinye izikhathi ukwelapha kwakuhlanganisa nokuhlinzwa, lapho isiguli sasilaliswa khona ngokusebenzisa i.e. i-opium.
Imithi yesimanje nezibhedlela zinomsuka wazo kula mathempeli aphilisayo e-Asclepius.
Bavela e-Asclepius, UNkulunkulu Wezokwelapha, owanikeza ukuqonda nezambulo, okungokoqobo okuyimibono nezambulo zamandla amademoni ombuso wobumnyama, kuzazi zefilosofi, abapristi be-Asclepeion, kanye nodokotela.
Abasebenzi be-Asclepius
Emphakathini wethu wanamuhla, sisalubona uphawu lukankulunkulu u-Asclepius, okuyi induku ye-Asclepius noma udondolo luka-Asclepius; inyoka ezungezwe induku (noma abasebenzi). Lolu dondolo noma induku yaphathwa ngu-Asclepius esandleni sakhe futhi isasetshenziswa njengophawu lokuphulukisa nokwelapha.
Indlela yokusebenzelana nemimoya
Nakuba abantu abaningi belashwa e-Asclepeion, amakholwa bekumele alahle lendlela yokwelapha yemimoya, lapho eLobukholwa liba inkolo yezwe yombuso wamaRoma. Kodwa abazange.
Esikhundleni sokulahla le ndlela yokwelapha, AmaKristu azisebenzisa lezi zindlela futhi azisebenzisa ebandleni.
Isonto lamukela phakathi kokunye ithempeli lokulala esontweni nasezigodini kanye Kwenziwa ubuKristu yona.
Umehluko kuphela wawuwukuthi abazange bambize u-Asclepius njengoba benza e-Asclepeion. Kunalokho, babiza uNkulunkulu, abangcwele, nabafel’ ukholo. Kodwa imikhuba nezindlela zazifana ncamashi.
Abazange bame eZwini futhi bengakholwa eGameni likaJesu nokuthi ngemivimbo kaJesu baphiliswa. (Isiboshwa 53:5, 1 Isifuba khadi 2:24). Kunalokho, bamukela amasiko nezindlela zobuqaba futhi bakhonza izithombe. Ngokukhonza kwabo izithombe bavumela Ukusebenzelana nemimoya ukungena ebandleni.
Izenzo zokulumba ngesikhathi sikaJesu
Kuningi kakhulu okumelwe kubhalwe mayelana nemikhuba yemimoya yasePhergamo. Kodwa indaba esemqoka ukuthi zonke lezi zinto ezenzeka ePhergamos, lapho uSathane ayemise khona isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi nalapho ehlala khona, zisaqhubeka futhi sekuyisizinda somphakathi wethu.
Izenzo zemilingo zombuso wamaRoma, lapho isiko lamaGreki laligcwele khona, Yayikhona kakade ngaphambi kokuba uJesu eze emhlabeni naphakathi nokuhamba Kwakhe emhlabeni. Nokho, asifundi lutho eBhayibhelini ukuthi uJesu wazihlanganisa nale mikhuba yobuqaba.
Asifundi lutho ngoJesu ukuya enkundleni yemidlalo yaseshashalazini nokujatshuliswa nokuvakashela imidlalo (imidlalogu Imidlalo) noma imincintiswano yomculo.
Asifundi lutho ngoJesu egxile ekuzilolongeni noma ekuzivocavoceni Yena uqobo nasekukhuthazeni indlela enempilo yokuphila. Futhi asifundanga lutho ngoJesu ngokuthumela umuntu e-Asclepeion.
Nakuba uJesu weza emhlabeni futhi waphila emhlabeni, UJesu wayengeyena owaleli zwe.
UJesu wayengowomunye uMbuso, uMbuso owawungesiwo owalumhlaba. Yingakho uJesu engazange agxile ezintweni zalomhlaba, kodwa ngezinto zezulu; izinto zikaYise.
UJesu akazange alandele inyama, kodwa emva kukaMoya futhi wabona imisebenzi kaSathane. Esikhundleni sokuzihlanganisa nemisebenzi emibi kaSathane, UJesu wahlala -zwayo kuNkulunkulu nasemazwini Akhe futhi walandela Imiyalo Yakhe Ngentando yakhe.
Ngenxa yeqiniso, ukuthi uJesu wahamba elandela uMoya futhi wahlala ethembekile emiyalweni kaNkulunkulu, UJesu wayengawufeza umsebenzi Wakhe.
Siyini isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane?
UJesu wembulela uJohane ukuthi isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane sasisePhergamo nokuthi iPhergamo yayiyindawo kaSathane ehlala kuyo.. Uma sibheka umuzi wasePhergamo, kungaba kuhle kakhulu, ukuthi isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane asigcini nje ngokubhekisela e-altare likaZeyusi. Kodwa isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane sasibhekise kuwo wonke umuzi wasePhergamo; uhulumeni, inkolo, imfundo, nezimpilo zabantu.
Konke okwakhiwe kwakugqugquzelwa uSathane. USathane wayengumbhali futhi wayebusa kuzo zonke lezi zindawo. Inhloso kaSathane kwakuwukugqugquzela abantu futhi abuse ezimpilweni zabo. Ukuze, USathane wayezophakanyiswa ngabantu.
USathane wayesebenza kakhulu ezimpilweni zabantu. Ikakhulukazi empilweni yabaholi bezombangazwe nabaholi bezenkolo.
USathane wayeyinkosi nenkosi emathempelini akhe, ilathi elikhulu, umtapo wolwazi omkhulu, indawo yokuzivocavoca, iPrytaneion, kanye ne-Asclepeion (i-sanatorium yasendulo, esibhedlela).
USathane wasungula zonke lezi zinto ukuze agcine abantu bematasa. USathane wabajabulisa wasezibopha kuye.
Abantu, ababevakashela lezi zindawo kwakungokukaSathane nombuso wakhe futhi bemkhonza. USathane wathatha wonke umuntu, owangena endaweni yakhe.
USathane wayazi kahle ukuthi umuntu wenyama wayefunani. Ngakho-ke uSathane wabayenga futhi wabaheha ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, ulwazi, ukuchuma, impilo, amandla, umlingo, ukuzijabulisa, futhi ulindele izinkanuko futhi (ucansi) izifiso zomuntu wenyama. Wathi nje esezidlile, wafeza icebo lakhe lokubhubhisa ezimpilweni zabo.
Ukushushiswa kwamaKristu ePhergamo
Akumangalisi, ukuthi amaKristu ashushiswa ePhergamo. USathane wabona ukuthi indawo yakhe yayihlaselwa futhi ithathwe amaKristu.
Ukuze avimbele insimu yakhe ukuba ingathathwa amaKristu, USathane wazama ukuqeda izitha zakhe esebenzisa imfundiso engamangas, ukuyenga kwenyama, ukuyekethisa nesiko lobuqaba, ukukhothama kubaholi, futhi bephika uJesu Kristu.
Futhi uma zonke lezi zinto zingasebenzi, ngoba amaKristu ahlala elalela futhi ethembekile kuJesu Kristu naseZwini laKhe, futhi akazange aphike uJesu futhi akazange akhothamele uSathane, ababebusa ezimpilweni zabaholi bezombangazwe nabezenkolo, amaKristu abulawa (Funda futhi: ‘Ngabe uyavuma uJesu phambi kwabesilisa noma uyaphika uJesu).
Emphakathini wethu, sisabona ithonya lamasiko amaRoma namaGreki emazweni asentshonalanga. Uma ulele ngokomoya futhi amehlo akho omoya evaliwe awuboni. Kodwa uma uvuka ngokomoya, amehlo enu azavuleka. Uzobona, ukuthi yonke into ethathwa njengejwayelekile futhi engenabungozi emphakathini wethu ayithathwa njengejwayelekile futhi ingenabungozi eqinisweni lokuKhanya. Kodwa liphefumulelwe umbuso wobumnyama.
Ulwazi luyokwanda
Kodwa wena, UDaniyeli, athule amagama, futhi unamathelise incwadi, kuze kube sesikhathini sokuphela: abaningi bayakugijima beya ngapha nangapha, nolwazi luyakwandiswa (UDaniyeli 12:4)
Encwadini kaDaniyeli, kulotshiwe ukuthi ulwazi luyakwanda. Lolu lwazi aluhlangene nolwazi lukamoya lweqiniso likaNkulunkulu, IZwi laKhe, nombuso wakhe. Kodwa lolu lwazi lubhekisela olwazini lwalo mhlaba (ulwazi lwezinto zemvelo), elisuka esikweni lamaGreki futhi ligqugquzelwa amandla amabi obumnyama.
Njengoba iZwi likaNkulunkulu liyiqiniso, siyabona ukuthi amazwi kaNkulunkulu mayelana nokwanda kolwazi lwenyama ayagcwaliseka.
Ukugxila ekwandeni kolwazi nokuhlakanipha akukaze kube khona kangaka.
Kulindeleke kubantu ukuthi benze umsebenzi osezingeni eliphezulu futhi bathole imfundo ephakeme nezikhundla eziphezulu emphakathini. Futhi lokhu kakade kuqala esemncane.
Lapho ingane ikhula kancane, othisha ngokushesha bazise abazali babo futhi bababize ukuba benze okuthile.
Ingane ayisavunyelwe ukuba yingane. Kodwa umntwana kulindeleke ukuthi akhule ngokushesha futhi enze kahle. Ingane iyahlaziywa ifakwe ebhokisini, ngokusebenzisa ama-SAT, ezithuthukiswa ngu Ososayensi (umsuka wefilosofi yamaGreki) ukukala izinga lobuhlakani bengane.
Abazali abaningi abazilaleli izidingo nezifiso zezingane zabo. Ababheki ukuthi yini eyenza izingane zabo zijabule. Kodwa abazali abaningi baphoqelela intando yabo futhi bacindezela izingane zabo ukuba zenze izinga eliphezulu futhi zithole imfundo ephakeme kakhulu. Ukuze izingane zabo zithole isikhundla esiphezulu emphakathini nabazali bazo babukise.
Izingane azijabulile futhi zizizwa zilahlekile
Kukhona ingcindezi enjalo ezinganeni, ukuthi izingane eziningi azijabulile futhi zinomuzwa wokuthi azizizwa, -mukelwe, futhi ithandwa futhi yingakho izingane eziningi zilahla.
Akumangazi ukuthi abaningi kangaka izingane zizizwa zilahlekile futhi abajabule, kodwa uhlangabezana nokuphazamiseka kokuzazi noma ucindezelekile futhi uze uzibulale.
Umhlaba uyamangala, kungani izingane eziningi kangaka zilahla futhi zizibulale. Kodwa ababheki imbangela, ukuthi umhlaba udalile.
Abantu bacabanga ukuthi ukuhlakanipha nolwazi lwaleli zwe kuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu ekuphileni futhi uSathane uyakusebenzisa lokhu.
Lapho ehlakaniphe kakhulu futhi ephakeme imfundo yomuntu, kulapho uSathane ethatha khona umuntu.
Umuntu uphefumulelwe uSathane futhi uthola ukuqonda, ulwazi, ukuhlakanipha, kanye nezambulo, futhi uzibandakanya namandla amademoni. Futhi lapho amandla amademoni ekhona, ukungcola kobulili kwenzeka.
Ukukhonza izithombe kuholela ekungcoleni kobulili
Ukungcola kobulili kuwukubonakaliswa kwemisebenzi yamandla amademoni. Lokhu kwenzeka ePhergamo, lapho kwakujwayelekile ukuba nobudlelwano bocansi ngobuningi nabesilisa nabesifazane ngaphandle ukugana isivumelwano. Futhi masingakhohlwa ubudlelwano bocansi nezingane, ikakhulukazi abafana. Kodwa lokho akufanele kumangaze, njengoba bedlala ezemidlalo benqunu. Kodwa konke lokhu kungcola kobufebe kwakuyisono amanyala kuNkulunkulu futhi kuseyisinengiso kuNkulunkulu.
Yingakho ke, UNkulunkulu waxwayisa abantu bakhe ukuba bangazihlanganisi nokukhonza izithombe, imikhuba yobuqaba, namasiko obuhedeni, okwakubhekwa njengokujwayelekile kwabeZizwe, kodwa kuNkulunkulu zaziyisinengiso.
UNkulunkulu wabapha abantu baKhe Umthetho wakhe ukwembula Intando yakhe futhi Indlela yakhe.
Esivumelwaneni Esisha, abaphostoli bakaJesu abagcinanga nje kwa-Israyeli beshumayela ivangeli, njengoJesu, kodwa baya emhlabeni ukuyoshumayela ivangeli kwabezizwe.
Lapho beya kwabezizwe, babhekana namasiko obuhedeni nokukhonza kwabo izithombe nobufebe (ukungcola kobulili).
AbeZizwe bakhuliswa ngesiko lamaqaba. Babejwayele isiko labo, imikhuba, nemikhuba futhi yayibhekwa njengejwayelekile, ngoba babeyingxenye yesiko labo. Babengazi kangcono. Njengabantu bakaNkulunkulu, ababehlala eGibhithe 430 iminyaka futhi bakhulela eGibhithe futhi babewazi amasiko namasiko aseGibhithe futhi bewabheka njengejwayelekile (Funda futhi: ‘Wonke amasiko ayanyamalala kuKristu‘).
Kodwa uNkulunkulu akazange azibheke njengezijwayelekile lezi zinto. Kungakho uNkulunkulu wayefuna abantu baKhe benze njalo nivuselele ingqondo yabo ngamazwi nemiyalo Yakhe. UNkulunkulu wayefuna abantu baKhe bagweme ukukhonza izithombe nobufebe.
Intando kaNkulunkulu ayikashintshi esivumelwaneni esisha
Intando kaNkulunkulu ayikashintshi. Esivumelwaneni Esisha, lokhu kuseyintando Yakhe. Ngakho-ke abaphostoli bakhuluma ngokungcweliswa nobungcwele eNkosini futhi esivumelwaneni esisha. Bayala amakholwa ukuba aphile ukuphila okungcwele futhi asuse zonke izono nokungalungi phakathi kwabo. Abaphostoli baxwayisa amakholwa ukuthi angazihlanganisi nokukhonza izithombe nobufebe.
Abaphostoli babazi kahle ukuthi umusa kaNkulunkulu wayengaqondile ukuqhubeka uphila esonweni nokuthi kwakungakhathalekile ukuthi uphila kanjani. Babazi, ukuthi ukuphila kuJesu Kristu njenge indalo entsha kwakungasho ukuhamba njengendalo endala nokuyekethisa nezwe. Ngoba ukube bebekukholwa lokhu, njengoba kwenza amaKristu amaningi namuhla, khona-ke babengeke bakhulume ngemisebenzi yenyama nesono. Babengeke bayale amakholwa ukuthi aphenduke futhi abasuse ezimpilweni zabo.
Esivumelwaneni Esidala, UNkulunkulu wayengafuni ukuthi abantu Bakhe bazihlanganise namasiko nemikhuba yobuqaba. Kunalokho, UNkulunkulu wayefuna ukuba bazihlukanise nabo futhi bahlale bezinikele futhi belalela Yena neZwi laKhe. UNkulunkulu akakafuni ukuba abantu Bakhe bazihlanganise nesiko lobuqaba lalo mhlaba.
Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane samiswa emhlabeni
Zonke izinto, okwenzeka ePhergamoni, zenzeka emhlabeni futhi zibe yisizinda sezimpilo zabantu.
Umbuso wamaRoma, lapho isiko lamaGreki laligcwele khona, usekhona futhi uyabusa emhlabeni. Lokhu kukhombisa, ukuthi uSathane usemise isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi emhlabeni. USathane usengunkulunkulu walelizwe futhi abantu bakhonza uSathane njengonkulunkulu ngezimpilo abaziphilayo.
USathane uthatha izingqondo zabantu. Ngoba uSathane uyazi, ukuthi uma elawula ingqondo, unakho ukuphila. Ubanika abakufunayo futhi agcwalise izidingo zabo zenyama. Futhi ngokubuyisela, abantu bakhonza uSathane futhi banikeze uSathane amandla ngemisebenzi yabo kanye nezimpilo zabo.
UNkulunkulu unguMdali
Kodwa uNkulunkulu UMdali wezulu nomhlaba nakho konke okungaphakathi. Intando kaNkulunkulu kanye nomthetho Wakhe, okungumthetho kaMoya, imiswe kuze kube phakade. IZwi lakhe liyiqiniso futhi limi kuze kube phakade!
Yonke indalo ifakaza ngoNkulunkulu ngakho akekho onezaba. Wonke umuntu, ongafuni ukuzithoba kuNkulunkulu naseZwini lakhe nemiyalo yakhe uyokwenza letha ububi empilweni yakhe futhi uyokwahlulelwa ngeZwi ngoSuku olukhulu lweNkosi (UJohane 12:48).
