--Daniyeli 8: 1-27

intshayelelo

Ukuphononongwa kwakhona kweakhawunti kuDaniel 8: 1-27 yomnye umbono owanikwa uDaniel, kukhuthazwe kukuvavanywa kukaDaniel 11 no-12 malunga neKumkani yaseNtla kunye neKumkani yaseMzantsi neziphumo zayo.

Eli nqaku lithatha indlela efanayo namanqaku angaphambili kwincwadi kaDaniel, oko kukuthi, ukusondela kuvavanyo, ukuvumela iBhayibhile ukuba izitolike. Ukwenza oku kukhokelela kwisiphelo sendalo, kunokuba usondele ngombono osele uchaziwe. Njengamaxesha onke kuso nasiphi na isifundo seBhayibhile, umxholo wawubaluleke kakhulu.

Ngoobani abaphulaphuli ekujongwe kubo? Yanikwa ingelosi kuDaniel phantsi kukaMoya oyiNgcwele kaThixo, ngeli xesha, kwakukhona ukutolikwa kobukumkani besilwanyana ngasinye, kodwa ngaphambili kwakubhalelwe uhlanga lwamaJuda. Lo ikwangunyaka wesithathu kaBheleshatsare, nekuqondwa ukuba ngunyaka wesithandathu kaNabonidus, utata wakhe.

Masiqalise uviwo lwethu.

Imvelaphi kumbono

Kuyaphawuleka ukuba lo mbono wenzeka kwi-6^th unyaka kaNabonidus. Lo yayingunyaka apho uAstyages, uKumkani waseMediya, wahlasela uKoreshi, uKumkani wasePersi, wanikezelwa kuKoreshi, elandelwa nguHarpagus njengoKumkani waseMedi. Kunika umdla kakhulu ukuba ingxelo kaNabonidus [i] ngowona mthombo wolunye ulwazi. Ukongeza, ikwangumzekelo onqabileyo kakhulu apho ukuxhonywa kukakumkani ongenguye waseBhabhiloni kubhalwa ngababhali base Bhabhiloni. Irekhoda impumelelo kaKoreshi kwi-6^th Unyaka kaNabonidus ngokuchasene ne-Astyages kunye nohlaselo lukaKoreshi nxamnye nokumkani ongaziwayo kwi-9^th unyaka kaNabonidus. Ngaba inxalenye eyaziwayo yeli phupha elimalunga namaMedi namaPersi yaxelelwa uBheleshatsare? Okanye ngaba izenzo zasePersi zazisele zibekwe esweni yiBhabheli ngenxa yokuchazwa kukaDaniel ngomfanekiso wephupha likaNebhukadenetsare kwiminyaka ethile ngaphambili?

UDaniel 8: 3-4

“Ndithe ndakuphakamisa amehlo am, ndabona, khangela! inkunzi yegusha imi phambi komfula lowo, zineempondo ezimbini. Ezi mpondo zombini zazinde, kodwa olunye lwalulude kunolunye, olude lolo lwaluza emva koko. ⁴ Ndabona inkunzi yegusha ihlaba isiya entshona nasemantla nasemazantsi, kwaye kwakungekho rhamncwa lasendle limiyo phambi kwayo, yaye kwakungekho bani uhlangulayo esandleni sayo. Kwaye yenza ngokuthanda kwayo, kwaye yaziphakamisa. ”

Ukutolikwa kwezi ndinyana kunikwe uDaniel kwaye kwabhalwa kwindima yama-20 ethi “Inkunzi yegusha oyibonileyo ineempondo ezimbini imela ookumkani baseMediya namaPersi.”.

Kunika umdla ukuqaphela ukuba ezi mpondo zimbini yayiyiMediya nePersi, kwaye njengoko ivesi 3 isitsho, "Omde anyuke emva koko". Kwazaliseka kwangalo nyaka wombono, njengakule 3^rd Ngonyaka kaBheleshatsare, iPersi yaba ligunya kwizikumkani ezibini zamaMedi namaPersi.

Ubukhosi bamaMedi namaPersi batyhutyha intshonalanga, iGrisi, emantla, iAfghanistan nePakistan, kunye nezantsi, iJiphutha.

I-Ram eneempondo ezimbini: amaMedi namaPersi, uphondo lwesibini iPersi ukuba lube namandla

UDaniel 8: 5-7

“Mna ke, ndaqhubeka ndicinga, yaye, khangela! ndabona inkunzi yebhokhwe ivela entshonalanga, ihamba phezu komhlaba uphela, ingawuchukumisi umhlaba. Ke yona inkunzi yebhokhwe ibinophondo olubonakalayo phakathi kwamehlo ayo. ⁶ Yaza yaqhubeka yaya kufikelela kwinkunzi yegusha eyayineempondo ezimbini, endandiyibone imi phambi komjelo wamanzi; yeza kuyo ibaleka ngomsindo wayo onamandla. Ndayibona isondela kufutshane nenkunzi yegusha, yaza yabonisa ubukrakra kuyo, yaza yayixabela inkunzi yegusha, yazaphula iimpondo zayo zombini, yaza inkunzi yegusha ayabi namandla okumelana nayo. Yayiphosa emhlabeni, yayinyhasha, yaza inkunzi yegusha ayabi namhlanguli esandleni sayo. ”

Ukutolikwa kwezi ndinyana kunikwe uDaniel kwaye kwabhalwa kwindima yama-21 ethi “Kwaye inkunzi yebhokhwe exhonti [imela] ukumkani waseGrisi; kwaye ke uphondo olukhulu olwaluphakathi kwamehlo alo, lumele ukumkani wokuqala ”.

Ukumkani wokuqala yayinguAlexander omkhulu, oyena Kumkani ubalulekileyo kubukumkani bamaGrike. Yayinguye owahlasela iRam, ubukhosi bamaMedi namaPersi bayoyisa, bawuthatha wonke umhlaba wayo.

UDaniyeli 8: 8

“Yaduna iinkunzi zeebhokhwe ngokuzidla ngokugqithiseleyo; kodwa kamsinya nje yakuba namandla, uphondo olukhulu lwaphuka, kwaza kwavela ezine ngokugqwesileyo esikhundleni salo, zibhekise kwimimoya yomine yamazulu ”

Oku kwaphindwa kuDaniel 8:22 “Kwaye oko kwaphukileyo, kwabakho ezine ekugqibeleni ezathi zema esikhundleni sazo, kukho izikumkani ezine ezivela kuhlanga [lwakhe] eziya kuma, kodwa kungenamandla akhe”.

Imbali ibonisa ukuba iinjengele ezi-4 zabuthabathela kubo ubukhosi buka-Alexander, kodwa babedla ngokulwa bodwa endaweni yokuba basebenzisane, ke ngoko babengenagunya lika-Alexander.

Inkunzi yebhokhwe: iGrisi

Uphondo lwayo olukhulu: nguAlexander omkhulu

Iimpondo zayo ezi-4: uPtolemy, uCassander, uLysimachus, uSeleucus

UDaniel 8: 9-12

“Kolunye lwazo kwaphuma olunye uphondo, oluncinane, lwaya lusiba nkulu ngakumbi ngasemzantsi nangasempumalanga nangasentla. ¹⁰ Yaqhubeka ikhula ngakumbi de yangumkhosi wasezulwini, kangangokuba yabangela ukuba omnye wemikhosi kunye neenkwenkwezi ziwele emhlabeni, wabanyathela. ¹¹ Kwaye yonke indlela eya kwiNkosana yomkhosi yabeka umoya omkhulu, kwaye kuye rhoqo

yathathwa, kwaye indawo emisiweyo yengcwele yakhe yaphoswa phantsi. ¹² Kwaye kwanikwa nomkhosi ngokwawo ngokuthe ngcembe, kunye ne-rhoqo

, ngenxa yokreqo; yaqhubeka iphosa inyaniso emhlabeni, kwaye yaphumelela ”

UKumkani wasemantla kunye noKumkani wasemazantsi baba zizikumkani ezongamileyo ezine ezivela koloyiso luka-Alexander. Ekuqaleni, uKumkani waseMzantsi, uPtolemy wayephethe igunya phezu kwelizwe lakwaYuda. Kodwa ekuhambeni kwexesha uBukumkani bukaSeleucus, uKumkani wasemantla, wafumana ulawulo kumhlaba wokumkani wasezantsi (i-Egypt phantsi kooPtolemy) kuquka nelakwaYuda. Ukumkani omnye wama-Seleucid uAntiochus IV wamsusa esikhundleni waza wambulala u-Onias III owayengumbingeleli omkhulu wamaJuda ngelo xesha (iNkosana yoMkhosi wamaJuda). Kananjalo wabangela ukuba kususwe amadini asetempileni kangangexesha elithile.

Isizathu sokususwa kwento ehlala ihleli kunye nelahleko yomkhosi kungenxa yokona kohlanga lwamaJuda ngelo xesha.

Kwakukho iinzame eziqhubekayo zabaninzi abaxhasi baka-Antiochus IV bokuzama ukuwaguqula amaJuda, belahla kwaye babuyise ulwaluko. Nangona kunjalo, iqela lamaJuda elalichasa le Hellenization lavela, kubandakanya inani lamaJuda adumileyo awayechasa nalapho babulawa khona.

Uphondo oluncinci oluvela kolunye lweempondo ezine: Inzala ka-Seleucid uKumkani uAntiochus IV

UDaniel 8: 13-14

"And Ndeva ongcwele othile ethetha, waza omnye ongcwele wahlabela mgama wathi kulowo wayethetha: “Koda kube nini na lo mbono uqhubeka

Nokreqo olubangela inkangala ephanzisayo, ukwenza indawo engcwele nomkhosi izinto zokunyathelwa? ” ¹⁴ Ngoko wathi kum: “Kude kube ngamawaka amabini anamakhulu amathathu ngokuhlwa neentsasa; kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo indawo engcwele iya kubuyiselwa kwimeko yayo elungileyo. ”

Imbali irekhoda ukuba yayiyiminyaka emithandathu kunye neenyanga ezi-6 (4 ngokuhlwa kunye nentsasa) ngaphambi kokuba ubume besiqhelo bubuyiselwe, njengoko isiprofeto seBhayibhile sibonisa.

UDaniyeli 8: 19

"waza wahlabela mgama wathi “Yabona, ndikubangela wazi into eya kwenzeka kwinxalenye yokugqibela yesiqalekiso, ngenxa yokuba yexesha elimisiweyo lesiphelo.”

Isiqalekiso sasizokuchasana no-Israyeli / namaJuda ngenxa yokuqhubeka kokona. Ixesha elimiselweyo lesiphelo ke ngoko yayilelenkqubo yamaYuda yezinto.

UDaniel 8: 23-24

"Kwaye kwinxalenye yokugqibela yobukumkani babo, njengoko abagwenxa besenza de kugqitywe, kuya kusuka kume ukumkani onobuso oburhabaxa nokuqonda amazwi antsonkothileyo. ²⁴ Kwaye amandla akhe omelele, kodwa kungabi ngamandla akhe. Kwaye ngendlela emangalisayo uya kubangela intshabalalo, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuphumelela aze enze ngempumelelo. Okunene uya kubatshabalalisa abo banamandla, kwanabantu abangcwele. ”

Kwinxalenye yokugqibela yobukumkani babo bokumkani wasemantla (i-Seleucids) njengoko yayithathiwe yiRoma, uKumkani onobukrakra - inkcazo elungileyo kakhulu kaHerode Omkhulu, wayeza kuma. Wanikwa ubabalo awalamkelayo ukuba abe ngukumkani (hayi ngamandla akhe) kwaye waphumelela. Wabulala nabantu abaninzi abanamandla (abo banamandla, ababengengomaYuda) kunye namaJuda amaninzi (ngelo xesha nangoku abangcwele okanye abo banyuliweyo) ukugcina nokunyusa amandla akhe.

Wayephumelele nangona uninzi lwalumenzela iyelenqe.

Wayeqonda amaqhina okanye iintetho ezingacacanga. Ingxelo kaMateyu 2: 1-8 malunga nabavumisi ngeenkwenkwezi kunye nokuzalwa kukaYesu, ibonisa ukuba wayesazi ngoMesiya othenjisiweyo, kwaye wayinxibelelanisa nemibuzo yomvumisi ngeenkwenkwezi kwaye wazama ngobuqili ukufumanisa apho uYesu wayeza kuzalelwa khona ukuze azame ukuphazamisa ukuzaliseka kwayo.

UKumkani onobukrakra: UHerode Omkhulu

UDaniyeli 8: 25

“Kwaye ngokokuqonda kwakhe uya kubangela ukuba inkohliso iphumelele esandleni sakhe. Kwaye entliziyweni yakhe uya kuqhayisa, kwaye ngexesha lokukhululeka kwiinkathazo uya kubhubhisa abaninzi. Uya kumelana neNkosana yeenkosana, kodwa uya kwaphulwa kungengasandla ”

UHerode wasebenzisa inkohliso ukugcina amandla akhe. Izenzo zakhe zibonisa ukuba waziphakamisa, kuba akazange akhathalele ukuba ubulale bani okanye wonakalisa. UHerode wazama nokubulala uYesu, iNkosana yeenkosana, esebenzisa ukuqonda kwakhe izibhalo kunye nolwazi alunikwe ngumbuzo onobuqili wokuzama ukufumana uYesu. Xa oku kusilelayo, wayalela ukuba kubulawe onke amakhwenkwe amancinci kwindawo yaseBhetelehem ukuya kuthi ga kwiminyaka emibini ubudala ngelinge lokubulala uYesu. Kwakungancedi, nangona kunjalo, kwaye kungekudala emva koku (mhlawumbi unyaka ubuninzi) usweleke ngenxa yokugula kunokuba abulawe ngesandla sombulali okanye ngesandla somchasi emfazweni.

UKumkani onoburhalarha uza kuzama ukuhlasela uYesu iNkosana yeeNkosana
