La maNgqina mabini, yeha yesibini, uMgaqo wokugqibela

Ukuba uyifundile inqaku ngamaNgqina amabini yesiTyhilelo 7: 1-13, uyakhumbula ukuba kukho ubungqina obomeleleyo bokuxhasa uluvo lokuba esi siprofeto asikazaliseki. (Indawo esime kuyo ngoku kukuba yazaliseka ukusuka ngo-1914 ukuya ku-1919.) Inzaliseko ehambelana nokutshatyalaliswa kwe-Bhabhiloni enkulu ibonakala ngathi inokwenzeka. Ewe, inkxaso engaphaya yokuqonda inokufunyanwa ekubekweni kwesi siprofeto ngaphakathi kwesakhelo kunye nexesha lesikhewu sesibini. Ukuvela kwamangqina amabini kukugqibela kuthotho lweziganeko ezenza uyeha wesibini. Iziganeko ezandulelayo zezi:

1. Ukukhuphela ngaphandle kweengelosi ezine ziboshwe kumlambo omkhulu umEfrate (Re 9: 13,14)
2. Ezi zibulala isinye kwisithathu samadoda (Re 9: 15)
3. Ukutshixiza kwamahashe; amahashe aphefumla umlilo. (Re 9: 16-18)
4. Iindudumo ezisixhenxe ziyakhala (Re 10: 3)
5. U-John udla umqulu we-bittersweet (Re 10: 8-11)

Ngoku ezi ziganeko ziyinxalenye yoyeha wesibini olandela uyeha wokuqala, othi emva koko alandele ukuvuthelwa kwamaxilongo amane okuqala. Ukuvuthelwa kwamaxilongo okuqala amane kubhekisa kwizigidimi ezinamandla ezavakaliswa kuqala ngezigqibo ezazifundwa kwiindibano zesithili, zonke eziqhubeka ukususela ngo-1919 ukubheka phambili. Ngelixa izigqibo zendibano zinokubonakala ngathi zimele ukuzaliseka kokuprofeta kwezi ziganeko zibonakaliswe ngokumangalisayo, siya kuwushiya umceli mngeni wale nguqulelo ngaphandle kokuba ithi ayinakuthathelwa ngqalelo njengelizwi lokugqibela kulo mbandela. Nangona kunjalo, ngeenjongo zengxoxo yethu, nceda uqaphele ukuba ukuvuthelwa kwamaxilongo kuyenzeka phambi kokuba uyeha wokuqala.
Uyeha wokuqala wenzeka ukusukela ngo-1919 ukubheka phambili ngokunjalo, ke nangona kubonisiwe ngokulandelelana kwiSityhilelo, sizalisekisa ngokufanayo nokuvuthelwa kwexilongo. Emva koko sifika kuyeha wesibini. Iziganeko ezintlanu zokuqala zoyeha wesibini (ezidweliswe apha ngasentla) zonke zenzeka emva kowe-1919 ngokuthathela ingqalelo kwethu okusemthethweni, kufuna ukuba ukubonakala kwamangqina amabini kungaphandle kokulandelelana, kungekuphela ngoyeha wesibini, kodwa noyeha wokuqala ngokunjalo kumaxilongo amane okuqala. Ngokutolika kwethu, amangqina amabini-aboniswe okokugqibela kulo mbono wesihlanu-eneneni kufuneka alandele yonke into eboniswe apha.
Cinga ngaloo nto. UJohn, kumbono wakhe wesihlanu, ucacisa gca ukulandelelana kweziganeko zesiprofeto, kodwa ukwenza la mangqina mabini ahambisane nemfundiso yethu efuna ukuba u-1914 abe ngoyena ubalulekileyo, kufuneka siwushiye umgaqo weZibhalo kwaye sinyanzelise esethu.
Ubume obumangalisayo beziprofeto ezinxulumene noyeha wokuqala nowesibini zinokuhambelana kakuhle neziganeko ezithile ezibalaseleyo kwikamva lethu. Into yokuba iingelosi ezine zibotshelelwe kumlambo i-Ewufrathe, eyona ndawo yokuzikhusela kweBhabhiloni yamandulo, inokubonisa ukukhululwa kwazo kunento yokwenza neziganeko ezikhokelela ekutshatyalalisweni kweBhabhiloni Enkulu. Kwelinye icala, ezi ziganeko zinokuba njengoko sizitolikayo kwi Isiphelo Incopho incwadi. Nokuba yeyiphi na imeko, kufuneka beze phambi kokuba ukuvela kwamangqina amabini, ukwenza i-1914-1919 ukuzalisekiswa kweso siprofetho kungqinelani nengxelo yeZibhalo kwaye ngenxa yoko, ayinakwenzeka kwaphela.
