Iimvavanyo kunye neembandezelo

Kwi Inqaku lesithathu “Kwesi Sizukulwana” series (Mt 24: 34) eminye imibuzo ishiywe ingaphendulwanga. Ukusukela ngoko, ndiye ndabona ukuba uluhlu kufuneka lwandiswe.

1. UYesu wathi kwakuza kufika iYerusalem ngembandezelo enkulu ekungazange kubekho injengayo ngaphambili. Ingenzeka njani le nto? (Mt 24: 21)
2. Iyintoni imbandezelo enkulu le ngelosi yathetha ngayo nompostile uYohane? (Re 7: 14)
3. Yeyiphi imbandezelo ekubhekiswa kuyo Matthew 24: 29?
4. Ngaba ezi ndinyana zintathu zidibene nangayiphi na indlela?

Matthew 24: 21

Makhe siqwalasele le ndinyana ngokomxholo.

15 “Xa nithe nalibona isikizi lesiphanziso, ekwakuthethwe lona ngoDaniyeli umprofeti, limi endaweni engcwele (olesayo makaqonde), 16 ngelo xesha mabathi abakwelakwaYuda basabele ezintabeni. 17 Ophezu kwendlu makangehli aye kuthabatha into endlwini yakhe; 18 nosentsimini makangabuyeli emva aye kuthabatha iingubo zakhe. 19 Yeha ke abafazi abamithiyo kunye nabanyisayo ngaloo mihla! 20 Thandazani ke, ukuba intsabo yenu ingabi khona ebusika nangeSabatha. 21 Kuba ngelo xesha kuya kubakho imbandezelo enkulu, ekungazanga kubekho injalo kwasekuqalekeni kwehlabathi, kwada kwaba kalokunje, ekungasayi kubuye kubekho injalo. - I-Mt 24: 15-21 I-ESV (Icebo: cofa kulo naliphi na inombolo yeevesi ukubona ukuhanjiswa okufanayo)

Ngaba umkhukula womhla kaNowa wawumkhulu ngaphezu kokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem? Ngaba imfazwe yemini enkulu kaThixo uSomandla ebizwa ngokuba yiArmagedon eya kuchaphazela umhlaba wonke iya kuba nkulu kunokutshatyalaliswa kwesizwe sakwaSirayeli ngamaRoma ngenkulungwane yokuqala? Ngapha koko, ngaba iimfazwe ezimbini zehlabathi zazinamandla amakhulu kunye nentshabalalo kunye noxinzelelo kunokufa kwesigidi okanye ngamaSirayeli ngo-70 CE?

Siza kuyithatha njengenikiweyo ukuba uYesu akanakuxoka. Akunakulindeleka ukuba abandakanyeke kwinto ebaluleke kangaka njengesilumkiso sakhe kubafundi ngentshabalalo ezayo, kunye nento ekufuneka bayenzile ukusinda kuyo. Unoko engqondweni, kubonakala sisigqibo esinye kuphela esivisisana nazo zonke iinyani: uYesu uthetha ngokuzithoba.

Uthetha ngokwembono yabafundi bakhe. KumaYuda, luhlanga lwabo kuphela olwalubalulekile. Izizwe zehlabathi zazingabalulekanga. Kuphela kuhlanga lwakwaSirayeli apho lonke uluntu lwaluza kusikelelwa. Ngokuqinisekileyo, iRoma yayikucaphukisa ukutsho nje okuncinci, kodwa kwisikimu esikhulu sezinto, ngu-Israyeli kuphela obalulekileyo. Ngaphandle kwabantu bakaThixo abanyuliweyo, ihlabathi lalilahlekile. Isithembiso sentsikelelo kuzo zonke izizwe esenziwa ku-Abraham sasiza kuza ngembewu yakhe. U-Israyeli wayeza kuvelisa loo mbewu, kwaye babethenjisiwe ukuba bazakuthatha inxaxheba njengobukumkani bababingeleli. (IGe 18: 18; 22:18; I-Ex 19: 6) Ke ngokoluvo, ukuphulukana nohlanga, isixeko kunye netempile yayiya kuba yeyona mbandezelo inkulu kwezakha zakho.

Ukutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem ngo-587 BCE yayiyimbandezelo enkulu, kodwa ayikhange ibangele ukupheliswa kolo hlanga. Amaninzi agcinwa aza athinjwa. Kwakhona, isixeko sakhiwa kwakhona saza saba phantsi kolawulo lukaSirayeli kwakhona. Itempile yakhiwa kwakhona kwaye amaYuda aphinda anqula apho. Ubume babo besizwe bagcinwa ngamarekhodi omnombo abuyela emva kuAdam. Nangona kunjalo, imbandezelo ababekuyo ngenkulungwane yokuqala yayimbi kakhulu. Nanamhlanje, iJerusalem sisixeko esahlulwe phakathi kweenkolo ezintathu ezinkulu. Akukho mYuda unokulandelela imvelaphi yakhe ukuya ku-Abraham kwaye kuye kubuyela kuAdam.

UYesu uyasiqinisekisa ukuba imbandezelo enkulu eyafunyanwa yiYerusalem ngenkulungwane yokuqala yayiyeyona inkulu kwezakha zakho. Ayikho enye imbandezelo enkulu eya kuze ifike esixekweni.

Kuyavunywa, le yimbono. IBhayibhile ayiwasebenzisi ngokucacileyo la mazwi kaYesu. Mhlawumbi kukho enye inkcazo. Nokuba yeyiphi imeko, kubonakala kukhuselekile ukuthi konke kungumfundi ngokwembono yethu iminyaka engama-2000 yiyo loo nto; Ngaphandle kokuba kunjalo kukho uhlobo lwesicelo sesibini. Yiloo nto abantu abaninzi abayikholelwayo.

Esinye isizathu sokuba le nkolelo ibinzana elithi “imbandezelo enkulu” lisoloko lisenzeka. Kwenzeka ngo Matthew 24: 21 kwi-NWT kwaye kwakhona e ISityhilelo 7: 14. Ngaba ukusetyenziswa kwebinzana sisizathu esivakalayo sokugqiba ukuba iivesi ezimbini zidibene ngokwesiprofeto? Ukuba kunjalo, kuya kufuneka sibandakanye IZenzo 7: 11 kwaye ISityhilelo 2: 22 apho kusetyenziswa kwa eli binzana, "imbandezelo enkulu". Ewe kunjalo, oko bekungayi kuba yingqondo njengoko nabani na enokubona ngokulula.

Olunye uluvo lolwe-Preterism oluthi imixholo engokwesiprofeto kwisiTyhilelo yazaliseka ngenkulungwane yokuqala, kuba le ncwadi yabhalwa ngaphambi kokutshatyalaliswa kweJerusalem, hayi ekupheleni kwenkulungwane njengokuba abaphengululi abaninzi bakholelwa. Ama-preterist aya kugqiba ekubeni Matthew 24: 21 kwaye ISityhilelo 7: 14 Ziziprofeto ezifanayo ezinxulumene nesiganeko esinye okanye ubuncinane ezinxibelelene nokuba zombini zazaliseka kwinkulungwane yokuqala.

Kungathatha ixesha elide apha kwaye kusise kude kakhulu nesihloko ukuba sixoxe ngokuba kutheni ndikholelwa ukuba umbono we-Preterist awulunganga. Nangona kunjalo, ukuze ndingabagxothi abo banoluvo, ndiza kuyigcina le ngxoxo ngenye inqaku elinikezelwe kulo mbandela. Okwangoku, ukuba wena, njengam, awubambeleli kumbono wangaphambili, ushiyeke nombuzo wokuba yeyiphi imbandezelo ISityhilelo 7: 14 kubhekiswa kuyo.

Ibinzana elithi "imbandezelo enkulu" yinguqulelo yesiGrike: thlipseōs (intshutshiso, uxinzelelo, uxinzelelo, imbandezelo) kunye mzantsi (inkulu, inkulu, ngengqondo ebanzi).

Injani i Thlipseōs Isetyenziswe kwiZibhalo zamaKristu?

Phambi kokuba siwuphendule umbuzo wethu wesibini, kufuneka siqonde indlela igama thlipseōs isetyenziswe kwiZibhalo zamaKristu.

Ukulungiselela ukulungelana kwakho, ndinike uluhlu olubanzi lwento yonke eyenzekayo ligama. Ungancamathisela oku kwinkqubo yakho yokukhangela iivesi zeBhayibhile ukuze uziqwalasele.

[Mt 13: 21; 24:9, Ngo-21, 29; Mnu 4: 17; 13:19, 24; 16:21, 33; I-Ac 7: 11; 11:19; I-Ro 2: 9; 5:3; 8:35; 12:12; 1Co 7: 28; 2Co 1: 4, 6, 8; 2: 4; 4:17; I-Php 1: 17; 4:14; I-1Th 1: 6; 3:4, 7; I-2Th 1: 6, 7; I-1Ti 5: 10; U-11: 37; IJa 1: 27; Re 1: 9; 2:9, 10, 22; 7:14]

Eli gama lisetyenziselwa ukubhekisa kwixesha lokubandezeleka nokulingwa, ixesha lembandezelo. Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kukuba igama ngalinye lisetyenziswa kwimeko yabantu bakaYehova. Imbandezelo yabachaphazela abakhonzi bakaYehova ngaphambi kukaKristu. (I-Ac 7: 11; U-11: 37Rhoqo, imbandezelo ivela kwintshutshiso. (Mt 13: 21; I-Ac 11: 19Ngamanye amaxesha, uThixo wayezisa imbandezelo kubakhonzi bakhe ababeziphethe kakuhle. (I-2Th 1: 6, 7; Re 2: 22)

Izilingo neembandezelo kubantu bakaThixo zazivunyelwe njengesixhobo sokubasulungekisa nokubaphelelisa.

"Kuba nangona imbandezelo iyeyokomzuzwana kwaye incinci, isizuzela uzuko olugqwese ngakumbi nangakumbi nolungunaphakade" (2Co 4: 17 NWT)

Yintoni Imbandezelo Enkulu ISityhilelo 7: 14?

Sicinga ngaloo nto, makhe sihlolisise amazwi engelosi kuYohane.

Ndaphendula ndathi: “Mnumzana, uyazi.” Uphendule wathi, “Aba ngabaphumileyo embandezelweni enkulu; bayihlamba imiwunduzo yabo bayenza mhlophe egazini leMvana. ” (Re 7: 14 I-BSB)

Ukusetyenziswa thlipseōs mzantsi apha yahlukile kwezinye iindawo ezintathu ibinzana livela. Apha, la magama mabini aguqulwa ngokusetyenziswa kwenqaku elichaziweyo, I-tēs. Ngapha koko, inqaku elichazayo lisetyenziswa kabini. Inguqulelo yokoqobo yebinzana kwi ISityhilelo 7: 14 ngu: “le ndezelo le kakhulu" (i-thlipseōs i-megalēs)

Ukusetyenziswa kwenqaku elichazayo kuya kubonakala kubonisa ukuba le "mbandezelo enkulu" icacile, ikhethekile, ayinjalo. Akukho nqaku elinjalo elisetyenziswe nguYesu ukwahlula imbandezelo efunyanwa yiYerusalem ekutshatyalalisweni kwayo. Esi yayisesinye seembandezelo ezininzi ezisezayo neziseza kuza kubantu abanyuliweyo bakaYehova — uSirayeli wokwenyama nowokomoya.

Ingelosi iqhubeka ichaza 'imbandezelo enkulu' ngokubonisa ukuba abo basindileyo baye bahlamba iingubo zabo bazenza mhlophe egazini lemvana. AmaKristu awasindayo ekutshatyalalisweni kweYerusalem akuthiwa ahlambe iingubo zawo azenza mhlophe egazini lemvana ngenxa yokubaleka kwabo esixekweni. Kwakufuneka baqhubeke nokuphila ubomi babo kwaye bahlale bethembekile kude kube sekufeni, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba bekudlule amashumi eminyaka kamva kwabanye.

Ngamanye amagama, loo mbandezelo yayingelovavanyo lokugqibela. Nangona kunjalo, oku kubonakala ngathi kunjalo ngembandezelo enkulu. Ukusinda kuyo kubeka umntu ekwimo yokucoceka efuziselwe iingubo ezimhlophe, eme ezulwini engcweleni kangcwele — itempile okanye ingcwele (Gr. naosPhambi kwetrone kaThixo noYesu.

Aba babizwa ngokuba sisihlwele esikhulu esiphuma kuzo zonke iintlanga, izizwe nabantu. - Re 7: 9, 13, 14.

Ngoobani aba? Ukwazi impendulo kungasinceda ukuba siqonde ukuba yintoni na imbandezelo enkulu.

Kufuneka siqale ngokuzibuza ukuba baphi abanye abakhonzi abathembekileyo aboniswe benxibe imiwunduzo emhlophe?

In ISityhilelo 6: 11, siyafunda:

"9 Xa yalivulayo elesihlanu itywina, ndabona phantsi kwesibingelelo imiphefumlo yabo babebulewe ngenxa yelizwi likaThixo, nangenxa yobungqina ababunikelayo. 10 Badanduluka ngezwi elikhulu, bathi, Nkosi enguMongami, ngcwele nenyaniso, koda kube nini na unetyala, uliphindezele igazi lethu kubemi bomhlaba? 11 Emva koko banikwa nganye ingubo emhlophe bayalela ukuba baphumle ixeshana, kude kufike inani labakhonza kunye nabo^c nabazalwana babo^d kufanele ukuba bagqibelele, abaza kubulawa njengoko nabo babenzile. ” (Re 6: 11 I-ESV)

Isiphelo siza kuphela xa inani elipheleleyo labakhonzi abathembekileyo ababulewe ngenxa yelizwi likaThixo kunye nokunikela ubungqina ngoYesu Ngoku ka ISityhilelo 19: 13, UYesu ulilizwi likaThixo. I-144,000 iqhubeka ilandela imvana, uYesu, ilizwi likaThixo, nokuba uyaphi. (Re 14: 4) Aba ngabo uMtyholi abathiyileyo ngokunikela ubungqina ngoYesu. UYohane ungowabo. (Re 1: 9; 12:17Emva koko ke aba ngabazalwana bakaKristu.

UJohn ubona esi sihlwele sikhulu simi ezulwini, phambi koThixo neMvana, sinikela kubo inkonzo engcwele kwingcwele yetempile, engcweleni kangcwele. Banxibe iingubo ezinde ezimhlophe njengabo babulawa phantsi kwesibingelelo ngenxa yokunikela ubungqina ngoYesu. Isiphelo sifika xa inani elipheleleyo laba libulewe. Kwakhona, yonke into yalatha ekubeni ngamaKristu athanjiswe ngomoya.[i]

Ngoku ka Mt 24: 9, AmaKristu kufuneka eve ubunzima ngenxa yokuthwala igama likaYesu. Le mbandezelo yinto eyimfuneko ekukhuleni kobuKristu. - I-Ro 5: 3; Re 1: 9; Re 1: 9, 10

Ukufumana umvuzo awasinikwa nguKrestu, kufuneka sikulungele ukubandezeleka.

“Ke kaloku, wabiza isihlwele kuye nabafundi bakhe waza wathi kubo:“ Ukuba nabani na ufuna ukundilandela, makazincame, uthabathe isibonda sakhe sentuthumbo uze uqhubeke undilandela. ³⁵ Kuba othe wathanda ukuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; ke yena othe wawulahla umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, nangenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo ezi, wowusindisa. ³⁶ Ngokwenene, kuya kumnceda ngantoni na umntu ukuzuza ihlabathi liphela aze aphulukane nobomi bakhe? ³⁷ Eneneni, anganikela ngantoni umntu esikhundleni somphefumlo wakhe? ³⁸ Kuba othe waneentloni ngam nangamazwi am, kwesi sizukulwana sikrexezayo, sonayo, naye uNyana woMntu uya kuba neentloni ngaye, xa athe weza esebuqaqawulini boYise, enezithunywa ezingcwele. ”Mnu 8: 34-38)

Ukukulungela ukunyamezela ihlazo ngenxa yokunikela ubungqina ngoKristu ngundoqo ekunyamezeleni imbandezelo ebekwe kumaKristu lihlabathi, nkqu nokuba —kodwa ingakumbi — ebandleni. Ukholo lwethu lugqibelele ukuba nathi, njengoYesu, singafunda ukulidela ihlazo. (U-12: 2)

Konke oku kungasentla kusebenza kuwo onke amaKristu. Imbandezelo ekhokelela ekucocweni yaqala kanye ekuzalweni kwebandla xa uStefano wabulawa. (I-Ac 11: 19Uye waqhubeka unanamhla. Uninzi lwamaKristu ludlula ebomini babo aluzange lufumane ntshutshiso. Nangona kunjalo, uninzi lwabantu abazibiza ngokuba bangamaKristu abamlandeli uKrestu naphina apho aya khona. Balandela amadoda naphina bona hamba. Kwimeko yamaNgqina kaYehova, bangaphi abazimiseleyo ngokuchasene neQumrhu Elilawulayo kwaye bamele inyaniso? Bangaphi abantu bakaMormoni abaya kuyichasa inkokheli yabo xa bebona iyantlukwano phakathi kweemfundiso zabo nezikaKristu? Kukwanjalo ke nakumaKatolika, amaBhaptizi, okanye amalungu ayo nayiphi na enye inkolo. Bangaphi abaza kulandela uYesu ngaphezulu kweenkokheli zabo ezingabantu, ngakumbi xa ukwenza njalo kuzisa ugculelo nehlazo kusapho nakubahlobo?

Amaqela amaninzi enkolo abambelela kwimbandezelo enkulu ekuthethwa ngayo yingelosi ISityhilelo 7: 14 lolunye uvavanyo lokugqibela kumaKristu ngaphambi kweArmagedon. Ngaba iyavakala into yokuba la maKristu aphilayo xa iNkosi ibuya ayakudinga uvavanyo olukhethekileyo, abasindisiweyo abaseleyo abaye baphila kule minyaka ingama-2,000 XNUMX idlulileyo? Abazalwana bakaKristu abaphilayo ekubuyeni kwakhe baya kudinga ukuvavanywa ngokupheleleyo kwaye ukholo lwabo lufezeke ngokupheleleyo njengabo bonke abo bafa ngaphambi kokufika kwakhe. Onke amaKristu athanjisiweyo kufuneka ahlambe iingubo zawo kwaye azenze mhlophe egazini leMvana kaThixo.

Ke uluvo lwexesha elithile lokuphela kwembandezelo alubonakali lihambelana nesidingo sokuqokelela kunye nokugqibezela eli qela eliya kuthi likhonze noKristu ebukumkanini bakhe. Kunokwenzeka ukuba kubekho imbandezelo enkulu ekupheleni kweentsuku, kodwa akubonakali ngathi yimbandezelo enkulu ISityhilelo 7: 14 isebenza kuphela kwelo xesha.

Kuya kufuneka sikhumbule ukuba ngalo lonke ixesha igama thlipseōs isetyenziswe kwiZibhalo zamaKristu, isetyenziswa ngandlela ithile kubantu bakaThixo. Ngaba akukho ngqiqweni ukukholelwa ukuba lonke ixesha lokucokiswa kwebandla lamaKristu libizwa ngokuba yimbandezelo enkulu?

Abanye basenokucebisa ukuba singapheleli apho. Baza kubuyela ku-Abel, umfeli-nkolo wokuqala. Ngaba ukuhlanjwa kwengubo egazini lemvana kungasebenza kumadoda athembekileyo asweleka ngaphambi kukaKristu?  KumaHebhere 11: 40 icebisa ukuba abo benziwe bagqibelela bekunye namaKristu.  KumaHebhere 11: 35 isixelela ukuba bazenzile zonke izenzo zokuthembeka ezidweliswe kwisahluko 11, kuba babezabalazela uvuko olungcono. Nangona imfihlelo engcwele kaKristu yayingekatyhilwa ngokupheleleyo, KumaHebhere 11: 26 UMoses “walugqala ungcikivo lukaKristu njengobutyebi obungaphezu kobutyebi baseYiputa” yaye “wayekhangele ngenyameko emvuzweni.”

Kungaphikiswa ukuba iMbandezelo enkulu, elona xesha lokulingwa kwabakhonzi bakaYehova abathembekileyo, ligubungela umyinge opheleleyo wembali yoluntu. Nokuba kunjalo, kubonakala kucacile ukuba abukho ubungqina bethutyana nje phambi kokubuya kukaKristu apho kuya kubakho imbandezelo ekhethekileyo, uhlobo oluthile lovavanyo lokugqibela. Ewe, abo baphila ngexesha likaYesu baya kuvavanywa. Baya kuba phantsi koxinzelelo ukuze baqiniseke; Kodwa lingenzeka njani elo xesha ukuba lube luvavanyo olukhulu kunaleyo abanye baye batyhubela kuyo kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi? Okanye ngaba sicebisa ukuba abo baphambi kolu vavanyo lokugqibela bacingelwa ukuba nabo abavavanywanga ngokupheleleyo?

Kwaoko Emva kwembandezelo yaloo mihla…

Ngoku siza kwindinyana yesithathu ekuthethwa ngayo.  Matthew 24: 29 ikwasebenzisa thlipseōs kodwa kwimeko yexesha.  Matthew 24: 21 ngokuqinisekileyo inxulumene nokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem. Singakuxela oko kufundo kuphela. Nangona kunjalo, ixesha eligutyungelweyo thlipseōs of ISityhilelo 7: 14 sinokuncitshiswa kuphela, ke asinakuthetha ngokwezigaba.

Ingabonakala ngathi ixesha le thlipseōs of Matthew 24: 29 inokufumaneka kumxholo, kodwa kukho ingxaki. Ngowuphi umxholo?

"29 "Kwangoko emva kwembandezelo enkulu ngaloo mihla ilanga liya kwenziwa mnyama, ithi nenyanga ingabukhuphi ubumhlophe bayo; zithi neenkwenkwezi ziwe ezulwini, athi namandla amazulu azanyazanyiswe. 30 Uya kubonakala ezulwini umqondiso woNyana woMntu, zize zonke izizwe zomhlaba zilile, zimbone uNyana woMntu esiza phezu kwamafu ezulu, enamandla, nobuqaqawuli obukhulu. 31 Wozithuma izithunywa zakhe zasemazulwini, zinexilongo elisandi sikhulu, zihlanganisele ndawonye abanyulwa bakhe, baphume kumacala omane omoya, kuthabathela esiphelweni sezulu, kude kuse kwesinye isiphelo salo. (I-Mt 24: 29-31)

Kuba uYesu uthetha ngembandezelo enkulu eza kuza phezu kwabantu baseJerusalem ngexesha lokutshatyalaliswa kwabo ngokupheleleyo ngamaRoma, abafundi beBhayibhile abaninzi bagqiba kwelokuba uYesu uthetha ngembandezelo enye apha kwindima 29. Nangona kunjalo, kubonakala ngathi ayinakuba njalo , kuba kanye emva kokuba iJerusalem itshatyalalisiwe, kwakungekho miqondiso elangeni, enyangeni nasezinkwenkwezini, kwaye nomqondiso woNyana woMntu wawungabonakali emazulwini, kwaye nezizwe zange ziyibone iNkosi ibuya ngamandla nozuko, kwaye abangcwele bahlanganiselwa emvuzweni wabo wasezulwini.

Abo bafikelela kwisigqibo sokuba ivesi 29 ibhekisa ekutshatyalalisweni kweYerusalem bayayiqonda into yokuba phakathi kwesiphelo sengcaciso ka Yesu yokutshatyalaliswa kwe Yerusalem namazwi akhe, “kwaoko emveni kwembandezelo enkulu. yezo ntsuku… ”, Ziivesi ezintandathu ezongezelelweyo. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba ezo ziganeko ngezo ntsuku yile uYesu abhekisa kuzo njengexesha lembandezelo?

23 Ngelo xesha, ukuba ubani uthe kuni, Nanku apha uKristu. nokuthi, Nankuya phaya. musani ukukholwa. 24 Kuba kuya kuvela ooKristu ababuxoki, nabaprofeti ababuxoki, benze imiqondiso emikhulu nezimanga, ngokokude bathi, ukuba bekunokwenzeka, balahlekise nabanyuliweyo. 25 Yabonani, ndinixelele ngenxa engaphambili. 26 Ukuba ke bathi kuni, Nanko entlango, musani ukuphuma niye. Nokuba bathi, Nanko emagumbini, musani ukukholwa. 27 Kuba kwanjengokuba umbane uthi uphume empumalanga, ubonakale kude kuse entshonalanga, kuya kuba njalo nokufika koNyana woMntu. 28 Naphi na apho sikhona isidumbu, aya kuhlanganisana khona amaxhalanga. (I-Mt 24: 23-28 I-ESV)

Ngelixa la magama azalisekisiwe ukutyhubela iinkulungwane kwaye kuwo wonke ummandla opheleleyo weNgqobhoko, ndivumele ukuba ndisebenzise iqela elinye lenkolo endilaziyo ngomzekeliso ukubonisa indlela okuchazwa nguYesu apha njengembandezelo; ixesha lokubandezeleka, ukubandezeleka, okanye intshutshiso, ngokukodwa ekhokelela kuvavanyo okanye ukuvavanywa kwabantu bakaThixo, abo banyuliweyo.

Iinkokeli zamaNgqina kaYehova zibanga ukuba zithanjisiwe ngelixa uninzi lomhlambi wabo (99%) lungathanjiswanga. Oku kubaphakamisela kwinqanaba labathanjisiweyo (Gr. UChristos) okanye ooKrestu. (Kukwanjalo ke nakubabingeleli, oobhishophu, ookhadinali, nabefundisi bezinye iinkonzo.) Aba bazibanga bethethela uThixo njengejelo lakhe lonxibelelwano elimiselweyo. EBhayibhileni, umprofeti asingomntu uxela ikamva nje kuphela, kodwa uthetha umntu ophefumlelweyo. Ngamafutshane, umprofeti ngumntu othetha egameni likaThixo.

Kuzo zonke ii-20^th kwinkulungwane ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, aba bathanjisiweyo (UChristosI-JWs ibanga ukuba uYesu ebekhona ukusukela ngo-1914. Nangona kunjalo, ubukho bakhe bude kuba uhleli etroneni yakhe ezulwini (kude entlango) kwaye ubukho bakhe bufihlakele, abubonakali (kumagumbi angaphakathi). Ngaphaya koko, amaNgqina afumana iziprofeto kubunkokheli “abathanjisiweyo” malunga nemihla yokuba ubukho bakhe buza kwandiswa bufike nini emhlabeni ekufikeni kwakhe. Imihla enje ngo-1925 nango-1975 yafika yadlula. Banikwa nezinye iinguqulelo zesiprofeto malunga nexesha eligutyungelwe "sesi sizukulwana" esibangele ukuba balindele ukuba iNkosi ifike kwisithuba esithile sexesha. Eli xesha liqhubeka nokutshintsha. Bakhokelwe ekubeni bakholelwe ukuba ngabo bodwa abanikwe olu lwazi lukhethekileyo ukuba babubone ubukho beNkosi, nangona u Yesu wathi iyakuba njengombane esibhakabhakeni obonakalayo kubo bonke.

Zonke ezi ziprofetho zajika zabubuxoki. Ukanti ooKrestu bobuxoki (abathanjisiweyo) kunye nabaprofeti bobuxoki[ii] baqhubeke nokwenza ukutolika okutsha ukukhuthaza umhlambi wabo ukuba ubale kwaye balindele ngolangazelelo ukusondela kokubuya kukaKristu. Uninzi luyaqhubeka ukukholelwa kula madoda.

Xa kuvela amathandabuzo, aba baprofeti bathanjisiweyo baya kwalatha "kwimiqondiso emikhulu nemimangaliso" engqina ukuba balijelo elimiselweyo lonxibelelwano lukaThixo. Izimanga ezinjalo zibandakanya umsebenzi wokushumayela owenziwa kwihlabathi lonke ochazwa njengommangaliso wale mihla.[iii]  Bakwalatha kwiziprofeto ezikwincwadi yeSityhilelo, besithi le “miqondiso mikhulu” yazaliseka ngamaNgqina kaYehova, ngokuyinxenye, ngokufundwa nokwamkelwa kwezigqibo kwiindibano zesithili.[iv]  Oko kubizwa ngokuba kukukhula okumangalisayo kwamaNgqina kaYehova ngomnye “ummangaliso” osetyenziselwa ukweyisela abo bathandabuzayo ukuba okuthethwa ngala madoda kuyakholelwa. Baya kubangela ukuba abalandeli babo bangayihoyi into yokuba uYesu akazange akhombe nakweziphi na izinto ezinjengophawu lwabafundi bakhe bokwenene.

Phakathi kwamaNgqina kaYehova — njengakwezinye iicawa zeNgqobhoko — baya kufunyanwa njengabanyulwa bakaThixo, ingqolowa phakathi kokhula. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko uYesu walumkisayo, nabanyuliweyo banokulahlekiswa ngooKrestu bobuxoki nabaprofeti bobuxoki abenza imiqondiso nemimangaliso emikhulu. AmaKatolika nawo anemiqondiso nemimangaliso emikhulu, njengamanye amahlelo obuKrestu. AmaNgqina kaYehova akahlukanga kule nkalo.

Okulusizi kukuba, abaninzi baye balahlekiswa zizinto ezinjalo. Bephoxekile ngenxa yenkolo, abantu abaninzi baye bawa kwaye abasakholelwa kuThixo. Basilele ixesha lokuvavanywa. Abanye banqwenela ukushiya, kodwa boyika ukwaliwa okuya kuthi kubangele ukuba izihlobo nosapho zingasafuni ukunxulumana nabo. Kwezinye iinkonzo, amaNgqina kaYehova, umzekelo, oku kuthintelwa kunyanzeliswa ngokusemthethweni. Uninzi lwabanye, sisiphumo sengqondo yenkcubeko. Ngayiphi na imeko, olu luvavanyo, kwaye kuhlala kunzima kakhulu ukujongana nako. Abo baphuma phantsi kwefuthe looKrestu bobuxoki nabaprofeti bobuxoki bahlala befumana intshutshiso. Ukutyhubela imbali, le yayiyintshutshiso yokoqobo ebonakalayo. Kwihlabathi lethu lanamhlanje, ihlala iyintshutshiso yengqondo kunye nentlalo. Nangona kunjalo, abanjalo basulungekiswa yimbandezelo. Ukholo lwabo lugqibelele.

Le mbandezelo yaqala ngenkulungwane yokuqala ibe isaqhubeka nanamhlanje. Sisiseko sembandezelo enkulu; imbandezelo engaphumi kwimikhosi yangaphandle, enje ngamagunya aseburhulumenteni, kodwa evela ngaphakathi kwindawo yamaKristu ngabo baziphakamisayo, besithi bangamalungisa kodwa eneneni beziingcuka eziqwengayo. - 2Co 11: 15; Mt 7: 15.

Le mbandezelo iyakuphela kuphela xa ooKrestu bobuxoki nabaprofeti bobuxoki besuswe endaweni. Ukuqonda okufanayo kwesi siprofetho kwi ISityhilelo 16: 19 ukuya ku-17: 24 yeyokuba inxulumene nokutshatyalaliswa konqulo lobuxoki, ikakhulu iNgqobhoko. Kuba umgwebo uqala ngendlu kaThixo, oku kubonakala kufanelekile. (I-1Pe 4: 17) Ke xa aba baprofeti bobuxoki nooKristu bobuxoki besuswe nguThixo, le mbandezelo iya kube iphelile. Ngaphambi kwelo xesha kusaza kubakho ithuba lokuxhamla kule mbandezelo ngokuzikhupha phakathi kwakhe, nokuba yeyiphi na indleko okanye iintloni ezibangelwa kukuhleba okungalunganga kunye nokunyelisa usapho nabahlobo. - Re 18: 4.

Ke emva kwembandezelo enkulu abo iintsuku, yonke imiqondiso exelwe kwangaphambili kwi UMateyu 24: 29-31 iza kwenzeka. Ngelo xesha, abanyuliweyo bakhe baya kwazi ngaphandle kwamazwi obuxoki abo babizwa ngokuba ngooKrestu nabaprofeti abazimeleyo ukuba inkululeko yabo sele ikufuphi. - Luke 21: 28

Ngamana sonke singathembeka ukuze sikwazi ukudlula kwimbandezelo enkulu kunye "nembandezelo yaloo mihla" kwaye sime phambi kweNkosi yethu noThixo ngeengubo ezimhlophe.
