OFakazi Ababili, Umaye Wesibili, Umthetho wokugcina

Uma uke wafunda isihloko esithi OFakazi Ababili weSambulo 7: 1-13, uzokhumbula ukuthi kunobufakazi obuqinile obusekela umbono wokuthi lesi siprofetho sisazogcwaliseka. (Isimo sethu esisemthethweni njengamanje ukuthi sagcwaliseka kusuka ngo-1914 kuya ku-1919.) Empeleni, kungenzeka ukugcwaliseka okuhambisana nokubhujiswa kweBabiloni elikhulu. Yebo, ukwesekwa okuqhubekayo kwalokhu kuqonda kungatholakala ekubekweni kwalesi siprofetho ngaphakathi kohlaka nesikhathi somaye wesibili. Ukuvela kofakazi ababili kungokugcina ochungechungeni lwemicimbi eyenza umaye wesibili. Imicimbi eyandulelayo yile:

1. Ukuyeka izingelosi ezine ziboshwe emfuleni omkhulu u-Ewufrathe (Re 9: 13,14)
2. Lokhu kubulala ingxenye yesithathu yamadoda (Re 9: 15)
3. Ukudazululwa kwamahhashi; amahhashi aphefumulayo umlilo. (Re 9: 16-18)
4. Ukuduma okuyisikhombisa kuzwakala (Re 10: 3)
5. UJohane udla umqulu we-bittersweet (Re 10: 8-11)

Manje le micimbi iyingxenye kamaye wesibili olandela umaye wokuqala, yona elandelayo elandela ukukhala kwamacilongo amane okuqala. Ukushaywa kwamacilongo okuqala amane kubhekisele emiyalezweni enamandla eyamenyezelwa kuqala ngezinqumo ezazifundwa emihlanganweni yesigodi, yonke eyenzeka kusukela ngo-1919 kuqhubeke. Ngenkathi izinqumo zomhlangano zingabonakala zimelela ukugcwaliseka okungokwesiprofetho okungagudluki kwemicimbi enjalo evezwe ngokumangazayo, sizoshiya noma iyiphi inselelo yalokhu kuchazwa ngaphandle kokuthi singathathwa njengezwi lokugcina ngokuphathelene nodaba. Kodwa-ke, ngenhloso yengxoxo yethu, ngicela uqaphele ukuthi ukushaywa kwamacilongo kuyenzeka ngaphambi umaye wokuqala.
Umaye wokuqala uyenzeka kusukela ngo-1919 kuye phambili futhi, ngakho-ke yize kuboniswe ngokulandelana kusAmbulo, ukugcwaliseka kwaso kufana nokushaywa kwamacilongo. Sibe sesifika kumaye wesibili. Izehlakalo ezinhlanu zokuqala zikamaye wesibili (ezibalwe ngenhla) zonke zenzeka ngemuva kuka-1919 ngokucabanga kwethu okusemthethweni, okudinga ukuthi ukubonakala kofakazi ababili kuphume ngokulandelana, hhayi ngomaye wesibili kuphela, kodwa nangomaye wokuqala kanjalo kokukhala kwamacilongo okuqala amane. Ngokwencazelo yethu, ofakazi ababili — abakhonjiswe okokugcina kulo mbono wesihlanu — empeleni kumele bandulele konke okuboniswe lapha.
Cabanga ngalokho. UJohn, embonweni wakhe wesihlanu, ngokusobala ubeka izehlakalo ezilandelanayo zezigameko ezingokwesiprofetho ezikhulayo, kepha ukwenza ofakazi ababili bavumelane nemfundiso yethu edinga u-1914 ukuthi ibaluleke, kufanele sishiye ukuhleleka okungokomBhalo bese siphoqa okwethu.
Isimo esimangazayo seziprofetho ezihlobene nomaye wokuqala nowesibili singafanelana kahle nezehlakalo ezithile ezivelele esikhathini esizayo. Iqiniso lokuthi izingelosi ezine ziboshwe emfuleni u-Ewufrathe, isivikelo esikhulu seBabiloni lasendulo ekuhlaselweni, lingakhombisa ukuthi ukukhululwa kwazo kuhlobene nezehlakalo eziholela ekubhujisweni kweBabiloni elikhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, le micimbi ingaba njengoba nje siyichaza ku- Isambulo Umvuthwandaba incwadi. Kunoma ikuphi, kumele beze ngaphambi ukuvela kwalaba ofakazi ababili, okwenza ukugcwaliseka kwe-1914-1919 kwalesosiprofetho kungahambisani nokubhalwe phansi okungokomBhalo futhi ngenxa yalokho, kumane kungenzeki.
