Le yividiyo yesihlanu kuchungechunge lwethu kuMateyu 24.

Ngaba uyawamkela lo mculo ungavumi?

Awunakuhlala ufumana into oyifunayo
Kodwa ukuba uzama ngamanye amaxesha, kulungile, unokufumana
Ufumana into oyifunayo ...

Amatye aqengqelekayo, akunjalo? Kuyinyani kakhulu.

Abafundi bafuna ukwazi umqondiso wobukho bukaKristu, kodwa bebengazukuyifumana le nto bayifunayo. Babeza kufumana oko bakufunayo; kwaye into ababeyidinga yayiyindlela yokuzisindisa koko kwakuza kubakho. Babeza kujongana neyona mbandezelo inkulu eyakha yafunyanwa luhlanga lwabo, okanye ababeza kuphinda babe nalo. Ukusinda kwabo kwakuza kufuna ukuba baqonde umqondiso uYesu awabanika wona, kwaye banokholo olufunekayo lokulandela imiyalelo yakhe.

Ke, ngoku siza kwinxalenye yesiprofetho apho uYesu aphendula khona umbuzo wabo, “Ziya kubakho nini ezi zinto?” (UMateyu 24: 3; Marko 13: 4; Luke 21: 7)

Ngelixa zonke ezi ngxelo zithathu zahlukile kwenye ngendlela ezininzi, zonke ziqala ngoYesu ephendula umbuzo ngebinzana elinye lokuvula:

“Niya kubona nini ke…” (UMateyu 24: 15)

"Uyakubona nini ..." (Marko 13: 14)

"Uyakubona nini ..." (uLuka 21: 20)

Isihlomelo “ke ngoko” okanye “emva koko” sisetyenziselwa ukubonisa umahluko phakathi kwento eyayihamba ngaphambili naleyo iza ngoku. UYesu ugqibile ukubanika zonke izilumkiso abaza kuzidinga ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kodwa akukho nasinye kwezo zilumkiso esenza umqondiso okanye isenzo. UYesu sele eza kubanika lo mqondiso. UMateyu noMarko babhekisa kuyo ngokufihlakeleyo kumntu ongengomYuda owayengazazi iziprofeto zeBhayibhile njengomYuda, kodwa uLuka ushiya ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ngentsingiselo yomqondiso wesilumkiso sikaYesu.

"Ke ngoko, xa ubona into elizothe ebangela isiphanziso, njengoko yathethwa ngomprofeti uDaniel, emi kwindawo engcwele (umfundi makasebenzise ukuqonda)," (Mt 24: 15)

"Kodwa ke, xa ubona into elizothe ebangela isiphanziso ime apho kungafanelekanga (umfundi makasebenzise ukuqonda) abo ke bakwelakwaYuda mabaqale ukubalekela ezintabeni." (Mnu 13: 14)

Kodwa ke, xa nithe nayibona iYerusalem irhawulwe yimikhosi emise iintente, yazini ke ukuba kusondele ukuphanziswa kwayo. ”(Lu 21: 20)

Kusenokwenzeka ukuba uYesu wasebenzisa eli binzana, "into elizothe", ukuba uMateyu noMarko bayayithetha, kuba kumJuda owazi umthetho, beyifundile kwaye beyiva ifundwa rhoqo ngeSabatha, bekungathandabuzeki ukuba "into elizothe ebangela isiphanziso."  UYesu ubhekisa kwimisongo kaDaniel umprofeti enezinto ezininzi ezibonisa into elizothe, okanye ukuphanziswa kwesixeko kunye netempile. (Bona uDaniel 9:26, 27; 11:31; no-12: 11.)

Sinomdla ngakumbi kuDaniel 9: 26, 27 efundayo ngokuyinxalenye:

"... Kwaye inkokheli ezayo iza kutshabalalisa isixeko kunye nendawo engcwele. Kwaye ukuphela kwayo kuya kuba ngomkhukula. Kude kube sekupheleni kuya kubakho imfazwe; ekugqitywe ngayo sisiphanziso… .kwiphiko lezinto ezilizothe kuya kubakho okuphanzisayo; kude kube yinto yokupheliswa, isigqibo esigqityiweyo siya kuthululelwa nakulowo uyinkangala. ”(Da 9: 26, 27)

Singambulela uLuka ngokusicacisela ukuba lithetha ukuthini na into elizothe ebangela isiphanziso. Singacacisa kuphela ukuba kutheni uLuka ethathe isigqibo sokungasebenzisi igama elinye elisetyenziswe nguMateyu noMarko, kodwa inye ithiyori inento yokwenza nabaphulaphuli bakhe. Uvula iakhawunti yakhe ngokuthi: “. . Ndaye ndazimisela ukuba, ndizilandile zonke izinto kwasekuqaleni, ndizibhalele ngokulandelelana kwazo, Tiyofilo odume kunene. . . ” (Luka 1: 3) Ngokungafaniyo nezinye iincwadi zevangeli ezintathu, ezikaLuka zazibhalelwe umntu omnye ngokukodwa. Kukwanjalo nakwincwadi yonke yeZenzo evulwa nguLuka "ngeakhawunti yokuqala, Tiyofilo, ndayibhala ngazo zonke izinto uYesu awaqala ukuzenza nawayezifundisa. ”(IZe 1: 1)

Elona “ziko libalaseleyo” nelokuba iZenzo iqukumbela ukubanjwa kukaPawulos eRoma kukhokelele ekubeni abanye bathi uTheophilus wayeligosa laseRoma elalinxulumene netyala likaPawulos; kunokwenzeka igqwetha lakhe. Nokuba yeyiphi na imeko, ukuba iakhawunti ibizakusetyenziselwa ukuxoxwa kwetyala lakhe, akunakunceda isibheno sakhe ukubhekisa kwiRoma "njengento elizothe" okanye "isikizi" Ukuthi uYesu waxela kwangaphambili ukuba iYerusalem yayiza kungqongwa yimikhosi kwakuya kwamkeleka ngakumbi kumagosa aseRoma.

UDaniel ubhekisa "kubantu benkokheli" kunye "nephiko lezinto ezinezothe". AmaJuda ayezithiyile izithixo nabanquli-zithixo bobuhedeni, ke umkhosi wamahedeni wamaRoma uphethe imigangatho yawo yezithixo, ukhozi ololule amaphiko alo lungqinga isixeko esingcwele kwaye luzama ukungena ngesango letempile, lingamasikizi okwenene.

Ayemele enze ntoni amaKristu xa ebona isikizi lesiphanziso?

“Mabandule abo bakwelakwaYuda basabele ezintabeni. Umntu ophezu kophahla lwendlu makangehli azokuthatha iimpahla endlwini yakhe, nomntu oze entsimini makangabuyi ayothatha ingubo yakhe yangaphandle. ”(UMateyu 24: 16-18)

". . ., mabandule abo bakwelakwaYuda basabele ezintabeni. Umntu ophezu kwendlu makangehli okanye angene ngaphakathi ukuze athabathe nantoni na endlwini yakhe; nomntu osentsimini makangabuyeli kwizinto ezisemva aye kuthabatha isambatho sakhe sangaphezulu. ” (UMarko 13: 14-16)

Ke, xa bebona into elizothe kufuneka babaleke ngokukhawuleza nangxamiseko olukhulu. Nangona kunjalo, ngaba uyayibona into ebonakala ingaqhelekanga ngomyalelo uYesu awunikelayo? Masijonge kwakhona njengoko uLuka eyichaza:

“Kodwa xa niyibona iYerusalem ingqongwe yimikhosi emise iintente, yazini ke ukuba kusondele ukuphanziswa kwayo. Mabandule abo bakwelakwaYuda basabele ezintabeni, nabo baphakathi kuyo mabemke, nabo basemaphandleni mabangangeni kuyo, ”(Luka 21:20, 21).

Bebefanele ukuba bawuthobele njani lo myalelo? Ubalekela njani esixekweni esele sijikelezwe lutshaba? Kutheni le nto uYesu engazange abanike iinkcukacha ezithe kratya? Kukho isifundo esibalulekileyo esisifumana koku. Kunqabile ukuba sinalo lonke ulwazi esilifunayo. Into ayifunayo uThixo kukuba simthembe, siqiniseke ukuba unemva yethu. Ukholo alukho malunga nokukholelwa kubukho bukaThixo. Imalunga nokukholelwa kubuntu bakhe.

Ewe, yonke into eyayixelwe kwangaphambili nguYesu, yenzeka.

Ngowama-66 CE, amaYuda avukela ulawulo lwamaRoma. UNjengele Cestius Gallus wathunyelwa ukuba ayokuphelisa imvukelo. Umkhosi wakhe wangqinga isixeko waza walungisa isango letempile ukuze liqhekezwe ngomlilo. Into elizothe kwindawo engcwele. Konke oku kwenzeka ngokukhawuleza kangangokuba amaKrestu akabanga nethuba lokusaba esixekweni. Ngapha koko, amaJuda ayothuswe sisantya sokuhambela phambili kwamaRoma kangangokuba babekulungele ukunikezela. Qaphela eli bali lokuzibonela elivela kumbhali-mbali ongumYuda uFlavius ​​Josephus:

"Kwaye ngoku kwenzekile ukuba uloyiko olubi lubanjiswe luvukelo, kangangokuba uninzi lwabo lwaphumela ngaphandle kwesixeko, ngokungathi lwaluza kuthatyathwa ngokukhawuleza; kodwa abantu kule nto babethatha inkalipho, kwaye indawo engendawo yomzi bawafumana umhlaba, beza apho, ukuze bavule amasango, bamkele uCestius njengomncedisi wabo, owayenaye kodwa eqhubeka nokungqinga kancinci ixesha elide, ngokuqinisekileyo besithathile isixeko; kodwa, ndicinga ukuba, ngenxa yokuphikiswa, komntu, sele engene kuwo umzi lowo kunye nengcwele, ukuba uthintelwe ukuba awuphelise umlo ngaloo mhla.

Ke kwenzeka ukuba u-Cestius angazi nokuba abantu bangcungcutheke kangakanani kwaye baphumelela kangakanani, Wawakhumbula ke amajoni akhe kuloo ndawo, kwathi, ngenxa yokupheliswa kwayo, engathabathi nalinye ihlazo, warhoxa kuloo mzi. ngaphandle kwesizathu emhlabeni. "
(Iimfazwe zamaYuda, Incwadi II, isahluko 19, umhl. I-6, 7)

Khawufane ucinge ngemiphumo yokuba uCestius Gallus engarhoxisanga. AmaJuda ngewayenikezele kwaye isixeko kunye netempile yaso ngewayengasindiswanga. UYesu ngewayengumprofeti wobuxoki. Ayizukwenzeka naphakade. AmaJuda ayengazukusaba kwisigwebo esawiswa yiNkosi kubo ngenxa yokuphalaza lonke igazi elilungileyo ukusuka kuAbheli ukubheka phambili, kude kuse kwelakhe igazi. UThixo wayebagwebile. Isigwebo siya kuhanjiswa.

Ukubuyela umva phantsi kukaCestius Gallus kuzalisekisa amazwi kaYesu.

“Enyanisweni, ngaphandle kokuba loo mihla inqunyulwe, bekungayi kubakho nyama isindayo; kodwa ngenxa yabanyuliweyo loo mihla iya kunqunyulwa. ” (Mateyu 24:22)

Ngapha koko, ngaphandle kokuba uYehova ezinqumle iintsuku, bekungayi kubakho nyama isindayo. Kodwa ngenxa yabo banyuliweyo abanyulileyo, uyinqumle imihla. ”(UMark 13: 20)

Qaphela kwakhona ukufana nesiprofetho sikaDaniel:

"... Kwaye ngelo xesha abantu bakho bayasinda, wonke umntu ofunyenwe ebhalwe phantsi encwadini." (UDaniel 12: 1)

Umbhali-mbali ongumKristu u-Eusebius urekhoda ukuba balithathile ithuba babalekela ezintabeni kwisixeko sasePella nakwezinye iindawo ngaphaya komlambo iJordani.[i]  Kodwa ukurhoxa okungachazekiyo kubonakala ngathi kunesinye isiphumo. Yawomeleza amaYuda, awangcungcuthekisa umkhosi wamaRoma owayebuya aza aphumelela. Ke, xa amaRoma ekugqibeleni abuyayo eza kusingqinga isixeko, akuzange kuthethwe ngokunikezela. Endaweni yokuba uhlobo lobudenge lubambe abantu abaninzi.

UYesu waxela kwangaphambili ukuba imbandezelo enkulu iya kubafikela aba bantu.

". . Kuba ngelo xesha kuya kubakho imbandezelo enkulu, ekungazanga kubekho injalo kwasekuqalekeni kwehlabathi, kwada kwaba kalokunje, ekungasayi kubuye kubekho injalo. (UMateyu 24:21)

". . .Kuba loo mihla iya kuba yimihla yembandezelo, engazanga ibekho enjalo kwasekuqalekeni kwendalo awayidalayo uThixo, kwada kwelo xesha; (UMarko 13:19)

". . Kuba kuya kubakho ingxakeko enkulu phezu komhlaba, nengqumbo kwaba bantu; Baya kuwa ngohlangothi lwekrele, bathinjwe, basiwe kuzo zonke iintlanga, . . . ” (Luka 21:23, 24)

UYesu wasixelela ukuba sisebenzise ukuqonda kwaye sijonge kwiziprofetho zikaDaniyeli. Inye ehambelana nesiprofetho esibandakanya imbandezelo enkulu okanye njengoko uLuka esitsho, uxinzelelo olukhulu.

"… Kwaye kuya kubakho ixesha lokubandezeleka okungazange kubekho elinjalo kususela oko lwabakhoyo uhlanga kude kube lelo xesha ...." (Daniyeli 12: 1)

Apha kulapho izinto zidaka khona. Abo banephenyana yokufuna ukuqikelela ikamva bafunda ngakumbi kula magama alandelayo kunokuba kunjalo. UYesu wathi imbandezelo enjalo “ayenzekanga kwasekuqalekeni kwehlabathi kwada kwaba ngoku, hayi, ayiyi kuphinda yenzeke.” Bacinga ukuba imbandezelo eyenzeke kwiYerusalem, nokuba imbi kangakanani na, ayifani ngobukhulu okanye ngobukhulu kwento eyenzekileyo kwimfazwe yehlabathi yokuqala neyesibini. Banokukhomba kwi-Holocaust ethi, ngokweengxelo, ibulele ama-6 amaJuda ezigidi; Inani elikhulu kunelo lafa ngenkulungwane yokuqala eYerusalem. Ke ngoko, baqiqa ngelithi uYesu wayethetha ngenye imbandezelo enkulu ngakumbi kunaleyo yenzeka kwiYerusalem. Bajonge kwiSityhilelo 7: 14 ngaba uYohane wabona isihlwele esikhulu simi phambi kwetrone ezulwini kwaye saxelelwa yingelosi, "Aba ngabo baphuma embandezelweni enkulu ...".

“Heke! Batsho. Yabona! Amagama afanayo ayasetyenziswa— “imbandezelo enkulu” —ngoko kumele ukuba ibhekisa kwisiganeko esinye. Zihlobo zam, bazalwana noodade, oku kukuqiqa okungagungqiyo apho ungakha khona ukuzaliseka okupheleleyo kwamaxesha okugqibela. Okokuqala, uYesu akasebenzisi senzi esicacileyo xa ephendula umbuzo wabafundi. Akayibizi “le imbandezelo enkulu ”ngokungathi inye kuphela. “Yimbandezelo enkulu” nje.

Okwesibini, into yokuba ibinzana elifanayo lisetyenziswe kwisiTyhilelo ayithethi nto. Ngaphandle koko, kuya kufuneka sibophe kule ndawo yesiTyhilelo ngokunjalo:

Nditsho ke, ndikubamba ngale nto, yokuba uyamnyamezela uIzebhele, ozibiza ngokuba ungumprofetikazi, ukuba ke afundise, alahlekise amakhoboka am, ukuba ahenyuze, adle izinto ezibingelelwe izithixo. Kwaye ndamnika ixesha lokuba aguquke, kodwa akazimisele ukuguquka kubuhenyu bakhe. Khangela! Ndiza kumphosa ebhedini egulayo, nabo bakrexeza kunye naye imbandezelo enkulu, ngaphandle kokuba bayaguquka kwizenzo zakhe. ”(ISityhi 2: 20-22)

Nangona kunjalo, abo bakhuthaza uluvo lwesibini, inzaliseko enkulu bayakukhomba kwinto yokuba uthi le mbandezelo inkulu ayinakuze iphinde yenzeke. Babenokuqiqa ke ngelithi, ekubeni iimbandezelo ezimbi zimbi kunaleyo yehle iYerusalem, kumele ukuba ubhekisa kwinto enkulu ngakumbi. Kodwa bamba umzuzu. Bayalibala umxholo. Umxholo uthetha ngembandezelo enye kuphela. Ayithethi ngento encinci kunye nokuzaliseka okukhulu. Akukho nto ibonisa ukuba kukho inzaliseko yokomfuziselo. Umxholo ucacile. Jonga kwakhona kumagama kaLuka:

“Kuya kubakho ingxakeko enkulu phezu kwawo umhlaba, nengqumbo kwaba bantu; Kwaye baya kuwa ngohlangothi lwekrele, bathinjwe, basiwe kuzo zonke iintlanga ”. (Luka 21:23, 24)

Ithetha ngamaJuda, ixesha. Yiloo nto kanye eyenzekayo kumaYuda.

“Kodwa ayivakali loo nto,” abanye baya kuthi. "Umkhukula kaNowa wawuyimbandezelo enkulu kunaleyo yehlela iYerusalem, ngoko ke wayenokuyinyani njani amazwi kaYesu?"

Mna nawe khange siwathethe loo mazwi. UYesu wawathetha loo mazwi. Ke, oko sicinga ukuba uthetha ukuba akubali. Kuya kufuneka siqonde ukuba wayethetha ntoni. Ukuba siyayamkela into yokuba uYesu akanakuxoka okanye aziphikise, kuya kufuneka sijonge nzulu ukusombulula imbambano.

UMateyu ubhala ngaye esithi, “kuya kubakho imbandezelo enkulu ekungazange kubekho injengayo ukususela ekuqaleni kwehlabathi”. Liliphi ilizwe? Ihlabathi loluntu, okanye ilizwe lamaJuda?

UMarko ukhetha ukuchaza la mazwi: "Yimbandezelo engazange ibekho enjalo kwasekuqalekeni kwendalo. Ngaba indalo yadalwa? Ukudalwa komhlaba? Ukudalwa kwehlabathi loluntu? Okanye kukudalwa kohlanga lwakwaSirayeli?

UDaniel uthi, "ixesha lembandezelo elingazanga libekho elinjalo, kususela koko lwabakhoyo uhlanga" (Dan 12: 1). Sisiphi eso sizwe? Nasiphi na isizwe? Okanye uhlanga lwakwaSirayeli?

Into esebenzayo, esivumela ukuba siqonde amazwi kaYesu ngokuchanekileyo nangokuyinyani ukwamkela ukuba wayethetha ngaphakathi komxholo wohlanga lwakwa-Israyeli. Ngaba imbandezelo eyabafikela yaba yeyona ibakhathazayo njengesizwe?

Zigwebe ngokwakho. Nazi izinto ezimbalwa eziphambili:

Xa uYesu wayethatyathwa ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni wema kancinci kuba wathi kubafazi ababemlilela, “Zintombi zaseYerusalem, musani ukundililela mna, kodwa zilileleni nina, nabantwana benu. (Luka 23: 28). Wayezibona izinto ezoyikisayo ezaziza kufikela esixekweni.

Emva kokuba uCestius Gallus arhoxile, kwathunyelwa enye iGeneral. UVespasian wabuya ngowama-67 CE waza wathimba uFlavius ​​Josephus. UJosephus waphumelela ukuthanda jikelele ngokuxela ngokuchanekileyo ukuba uya kuba ngu-Emperor awayenzayo kwiminyaka emibini kamva. Ngenxa yoku, uVespasian wammisela kwindawo ebekekileyo. Ngeli xesha, uJosephus wenza irekhodi elibanzi ngemfazwe yamaJuda / yamaRoma. Ngokumka kwamaKristu ngokukhuselekileyo ngowama-66 CE, kwakungekho sizathu sokuba uThixo azibambe. Isixeko sihlaselwe sisiphithiphithi esinamaqela emigulukudu, inzondelelo enogonyamelo kunye nolwaphulo mthetho olubangela uxinzelelo olukhulu. AmaRoma awazange abuyele eYerusalem ngokuthe ngqo, kodwa agxila kwezinye iindawo ezinjengePalestine, iSyria, neAlexandria. Amawakawaka amaYuda afa. Oku kuchaza uYesu elumkisa abo bakwelakwaYuda ukuba basabe xa bebona into elizothe. Ekugqibeleni amaRoma eza eYerusalem aza asingqinga isixeko. Abo bazama ukubaleka ungqingo babanjwa ngabantu abazinikeleyo kwaye banqunyulwa imqala, okanye ngamaRoma ababethelela eminqamlezweni, kangange-500 ngosuku. Indlala yathimba isixeko. Kwakukho isiphithiphithi kunye noxinzelelo kunye nemfazwe yamakhaya ngaphakathi esixekweni. Iivenkile ebekufanele ukuba zibagcina iminyaka zatshiswa yimikhosi yamaJuda ephikisayo ukugcina elinye icala lingabinazo. AmaYuda ehla ngokudla abantu. UJosephus ubhala ingxelo yokuba amaJuda enza okungakumbi ukwenzakalisana omnye nomnye kunamaRoma. Khawufane ucinge xa ​​uhlala phantsi kolo loyiko imihla ngemihla, kubantu bakho. Xa amaRoma ekugqibeleni angena esixekweni, baphambana baza babulala abantu ngokungakhethi. Ngaphantsi kwelinye kwi-10 lamaYuda asindileyo. Itempile yatshiswa nangona uTitus wayalela ukuba ayigcine. Xa uTitus ekugqibeleni wangena esixekweni kwaye wazibona iinqaba, waqonda ukuba ukuba babebambe kunye babeza kuwagcina amaRoma ngaphandle ixesha elide. Oku kwabangela ukuba athi ngokuqonda:

“Ngokuqinisekileyo sinoThixo kubukho bethu kule mfazwe, kwaye yayingenguye ngaphandle koThixo owakhupha amaJuda phantsi kwezi zinqaba; Kuba yintoni enokwenziwa zizandla zabantu, okanye nawuphi na umatshini, ekubhukuqeni ezi sitora![ii]

Umlawuli ke wayalela uTitus ukuba asitshise isixeko asibeke phantsi. Yiyo loo nto amazwi kaYesu athi ilitye lingashiywanga phezu kwelitye azaliseka.

AmaYuda aphulukana nohlanga lwawo, itempile yawo, ububingeleli bawo, zabo iirekhodi, isazisi sabo. Ngokwenene le yayiyeyona mbandezelo inkulu kwezakha zakho kolo hlanga, idlula kude nokuthinjelwa eBhabheli. Akukho nto injengaye eya kuphinda yenzeke kubo. Asithethi ngamaJuda ngamanye, kodwa isizwe esasinyulwe ngabantu bakaThixo bade bambulala unyana wakhe.

Sifunda ntoni koku? Umbhali wamaHebhere usixelela:

“Kuba ukuba siqhelisela isono ngabom emva kokufumana ulwazi oluchanileyo lwenyaniso, akusekho mbingelelo wezono useleyo, kodwa kukho ulindelo oluthile oloyikekayo lomgwebo nengqumbo evuthayo eza kubadla abo baphikisayo. Umntu ongawuthobeliyo umthetho kaMosis usweleke engenanceba ngobungqina bababini okanye abathathu. Ucinga ukuba, oyena mntu unyathele kuNyana kaThixo, waligqala njengexabiso eliqhelekileyo igazi lomnqophiso awangcwaliswa ngalo, kwaye ngubani owenze umsindo wobubele obungasifanelanga edelile? Kuba siyamazi Lowo wathi: “Impindezelo yeyam; Kuya kubuyekeza mna. ” Kwaye kwakhona: "UYehova uya kubagweba abantu bakhe." Kuyoyikeka ke ukuwela ezandleni zoThixo ophilayo. ” (KumaHebhere 10: 26-31)

UYesu unothando kwaye unenceba, kodwa kufuneka sikhumbule ukuba ungumfanekiso kaThixo. Ngoko ke, uYehova unothando yaye unenceba. Simazi ngokwazi uNyana wakhe. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ngumfanekiso kaThixo kuthetha ukubonakalisa zonke iimpawu zakhe, hayi ezo zifudumeleyo.

KwiSityhilelo uYesu uchazwa njengoKumkani oligorha. Xa INguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha isithi: “'Impindezelo yeyam; Kuya kubuyekeza mna, utsho uYehova ”, oko akusenzi isiGrike sichane. (Roma 12: 9) Eyona nto iyitshoyo yile, “'Impindezelo yeyam; Ndiya kubuyekeza ', Itsho iNkosi. ” UYesu akahlali ecaleni, kodwa sisixhobo esisetyenziswa nguBawo ukwenza impindezelo. Khumbula: le ndoda yamkela abantwana abancinci ezandleni zayo, yenze isabhokhwe ngeentsontelo kwaye yagxotha ababolekisi ngemali ngaphandle kwetempile-kabini! (UMateyu 19: 13-15; UMarko 9:36; uYohane 2:15)

Ithini inqaku lam? Andithethi kuphela kumaNgqina kaYehova ngoku, kodwa nakwinkolo nganye evakalelwa kukuba uphawu lwabo lobuKristu lolukhethwe nguThixo ukuba lube lolakhe. AmaNgqina akholelwa ukuba umbutho wawo kuphela kwonyulwe nguThixo kuyo yonke iNgqobhoko. Kodwa okufanayo kunokuthiwa kuninzi kakhulu kwezinye iicawa ngaphandle. Umntu ngamnye ukholelwa kwelokuba inkolo yabo iyinyani, kungenjalo kutheni behlala kuyo?

Nangona kunjalo, kukho into enye esinokuthi sonke sivumelane ngayo; Inye into engathandabuzekiyo kubo bonke abakholelwa kwiBhayibhile: ukuba isizwe sakwaSirayeli sasingabantu abanyulwe nguThixo kubo bonke abantu abasemhlabeni. Yayilicawa kaThixo, ibandla likaThixo, intlangano kaThixo. Ngaba oko kwabasindisa kwimbandezelo eyoyikisayo eyoyikekayo?

Ukuba sicinga ukuba ubulungu bunamalungelo ayo; ukuba sicinga ukuba ukunxulumana nombutho okanye icawe kusinika ikhadi elikhethekileyo lokuphuma ejele. emva koko siyazikhohlisa. UThixo akazange ohlwaye kuphela abantu abathile kuhlanga lakwaSirayeli. Walushenxisa uhlanga; ukucima ubuzwe babo; Yadiliza isixeko sayo, yangathi ngumkhukula watshabalalisa njengoko uDaneli waxela kwangaphambili; bazenza pariah. Yinto eyoyikekayo ukuwela ezandleni zoThixo ophilayo.

Ukuba sifuna ukuba uYehova asincumele, ukuba sifuna ukuba iNkosi yethu, uYesu asimele, kufuneka sithathe inyani malunga noko kulungileyo kwaye kuyinyani ngaphandle kwendleko kuthi.

Khumbula oko uYesu asixelele kona:

“Wonke umntu, ke ngoko, ovumayo ukuba amanyene nam phambi kwabantu, ndiya kuvuma ukuba ndimanyene naye phambi kukaBawo osemazulwini; kodwa lowo undikhanyelayo phambi kwabantu, nam ndiza kumkhanyela kuBawo osezulwini. Musani ukucinga ukuba ndizise uxolo emhlabeni; Andize ukubeka uxolo, kodwa luphume. Kuba ndize kwenza imbambano, indoda ngokuchasene noyise, intombi nentombi yakhe nonina, umfazi omncinci enxamnye noninazala. Ewe, iintshaba zomntu ziya kuba ngabantu abendlu yakhe. Lowo uthanda kakhulu uyise nokuba ngunina kunam, akandifanele mna; nalowo uthanda unyana wakhe nokuba yintombi yakhe kum, akandifanele mna. Kwaye nabani na ongasamkeli isibonda sakhe sentuthumbo kwaye alandele emva kwam akandifanele. Lowo ufumana umphefumlo wakhe uya kulahleka, nalowo ulahlekelwa ngumphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam uya kuwufumana. ”(UMateyu 10: 32-39)

Yintoni eseleyo ukuxoxa ngoMateyu 24, uMarko 13, noLuka 21? Idili enkulu. Khange sithethe ngemiqondiso elangeni, enyangeni nasezinkwenkwezini. Khange sithethe ngobukho bukaKristu. Sichukumise ikhonkco abanye abaziva likhona phakathi 'kwembandezelo enkulu' ekhankanywe apha kunye "nembandezelo enkulu" ebhalwe kwiSityhilelo. Owu, kwaye kukwakho ukukhankanywa kwesinye "samaxesha amisiweyo eentlanga", okanye "amaxesha eeNtlanga" asuka kuLuka. Yonke loo nto iya kuba ngumxholo wevidiyo yethu elandelayo.

Enkosi kakhulu ngokubukela nangenkxaso yakho.
