Kudala ukuthi uNowa washumayeza umhlaba wesikhathi sakhe, ukuze baxwayiswe ngokufanele ngokubhujiswa okubehlelayo. Lo msebenzi wendlu ngendlu kaNowa wawufanekisela umsebenzi esiwenza namuhla. Ukube ubufunda lesi sigaba ungabhekanga kulo mbhalo futhi uwucabangisise kahle, ubungeke uwuthole umqondo wokuthi uNowa washumayeza izwe labantu abangamesabi uNkulunkulu bosuku lwakhe?
Kodwa-ke, kuvela isithombe esihlukile lapho ufunda indinyana ekhonjiwe yesi-2 Pet. 2: 4,5. Ingxenye efanelekile ithi, “… futhi akazange ayeke ukujezisa izwe lasendulo, kepha wagcina uNowa, umshumayeli wokulunga, ephephile nabanye abayisikhombisa ngenkathi eletha uzamcolo ezweni labantu abangamesabi uNkulunkulu”
Yebo, washumayela ukulunga, kodwa hhayi emhlabeni wosuku lwakhe. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi usebenzise wonke amathuba abewanikwa yena ngenkathi eqhubeka nokuphatha ipulazi lakhe ukugcina umndeni wakhe uphila futhi akha umkhumbi, umsebenzi omkhulu. Kepha ukucabanga ukuthi wahamba emhlabeni eshumayela njengoba senza akuwona nje umbono ophusile. Abantu base beneminyaka engu-1,600 70 bukhona ngaleso sikhathi. Ngokunikwa isikhathi eside sokuphila kanye namathuba okuthi abesifazane bahlala bavundile isikhathi eside kakhulu kunangesikhathi sethu, kulula ukuba izibalo ukuqhamuka nenani lomhlaba wonke kumakhulu ezigidi, noma ezigidigidini. Noma ngabe bonke bebephila iminyaka engama-80 noma engama-30 kuphela futhi abesifazane bebethole iminyaka engama-XNUMX kuphela kuleyo minyaka — njengoba kunjalo nanamuhla — umuntu usengafinyelela kubantu abangamakhulu ezigidi. Kuliqiniso, asazi ukuthi kwenzekani emuva ngaleso sikhathi. Iminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu ayisithupha yomlando wesintu ihlanganiswe ezahlukweni ezimfushane eziyisithupha zeBhayibheli. Mhlawumbe kube nezimpi eziningi futhi kwabulawa izigidi. Noma kunjalo, kunobufakazi bokuba khona kwabantu eNyakatho Melika ezikhathini zangaphambi kukazamcolo. Ngaphambi kukazamcolo, bekuzoba khona amabhuloho omhlaba, ngakho-ke isimo kungenzeka kakhulu.
Kodwa-ke, noma singakunaki konke lokho njengokucabanga okumsulwa, kusalokhu kuneqiniso lokuthi iBhayibheli alifundisi ukuthi uNowa washumayeza umhlaba wosuku lwakhe, kuphela ukuthi ngenkathi eshumayela, washumayela ukulunga.
