2016, Oct. 3-9 - Ukubukeza KobuKristu Nenkonzo Yethu

Isifundo SeBhayibheli - Isahluko 2 Par. 1-12

Umbuzo wezigaba ezimbili zokuqala zesifundo saleli sonto uyabuza: “Yimuphi umcimbi omkhulu kunayo yonke eyake yenzeka emlandweni womhlaba…?” Yize lo kungumbuzo oziphendulela kakhulu, umuntu angahle athethelele umKristu ngokuphendula athi: Ukuza KukaMesiya!

Noma kunjalo, leyo akuyona impendulo isigaba ebesiyifuna. Impendulo eyiyo ngokusobala ukusungulwa okungabonakali kombuso kaKristu ngo-1914.

Ake sicabange ngalokhu okwesikhashana ukusuka kumbono wemfundiso yenkolo ye-JW. Ngesonto eledlule sifunde ukuthi uKristu waqala ukubusa njengenkosi ngo-33 CE ngenkathi eya ezulwini ukuyohlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu elinde uYise ukuba anqobe izitha zakhe. (I-Ps 110: 1-2; U-10: 12-13) Nokho, ngokwezincwadi zeNhlangano, lowo mthetho wawungaphezu kwebandla kuphela. Kwathi ngo-1914, umbuso “wamiswa” emazulwini futhi uKristu waqala ukubusa umhlaba. Noma kunjalo, izitha zakhe azikanqotshwa. Empeleni, ikakhulukazi abazi ukuthi lesi “senzakalo esikhulu kunazo zonke esake senzeka emlandweni wezwe.” Inkolo yamanga isabusa umhlaba. Izizwe zinamandla amakhulu kunanini ngaphambili, manje ziyakwazi ukuqeda konke okuphilayo emhlabeni ngamahora ambalwa.

Umuntu angabuza kahle, “Yini eguqukile kusukela ngo-33 CE? Yini ngempela uJehova ayenza ngo-1914 eyayizofanelekela 'ukumisa umbuso' owawungakafezeki ngekhulu lokuqala? Kuphi ukubonakaliswa okubonakalayo "komcimbi omkhulu kunayo yonke emlandweni wesintu"? Kungabonakala sengathi kwakuyindida!

Izincwadi zithanda ukukhuluma ngo-1914 njengonyaka lapho umbuso “wasungulwa” khona. Incazelo yokuqala yegama elithi “ukusungula” “ukumisa (inhlangano, uhlelo, noma isethi yemithetho) ngokuqinile noma unomphela.” Kusuka kuyiphi AmaHeberu 10: 12-13 uthi, kubonakala sengathi umbuso wamiswa ngonyaka ka-33 CE Ngabe ikhona enye inhlangano, uhlelo, noma isethi yemithetho eyasungulwa yaqina ezulwini ngo-1914? Cabanga ngalokhu: Ingabe kukhona isikhundla esiphakeme endaweni yonke kunokuhlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu? Ngabe ikhona iNkosi, uMongameli, noma uMbusi ongafuna amandla nezikhundla eziningi kuneNkosi ehleli ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu? Lokho kwenzeka kuJesu futhi kwenzeka ngo-33 CE

Ngakho-ke akunangqondo yini futhi kungokomBhalo ukusho ukuthi uJesu waqala ukubusa njengenkosi ngekhulu lokuqala? Ukuthi izizwe zazizovunyelwa ukuthi ziqhubeke nokubusa okwesikhashana ngesikhathi sobukhosi bakhe kuqinisekiswa ngu AmaHeberu 10: 13.

Ukulandelana yilezi: 1) INkosi yethu ihleli ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu ilindele ukuthi izitha zayo zinqotshwe, futhi 2) izitha zayo zigcine sehlisiwe ukuze umbuso wayo ugcwale umhlaba. Kunezinyathelo ezimbili nje noma izigaba. Lokhu kufakazelwa nguDaniel umProfethi.

“Ubuke kuze kwaqedwa itshe, hhayi ngezandla, futhi lasishaya isithombe ezinyaweni zensimbi nobumba wasichoboza. ³⁵ Ngaleso sikhathi kwakuyinsimbi, udaka, ithusi, isiliva negolide, kuhlangene, kwaba njengamakhoba avela esibuyeni sasehlobo, umoya wabakhipha ukuze kungabikho umkhondo wabo. etholakele. Kepha itshe elishaye isithombe laba yintaba enkulu, lagcwalisa umhlaba wonke. ”(I-Da 2: 34, 35)

Amavesi amabili okuqala esixoxa ngawo achaza iphupho likaNebukadinesari. Kunemicimbi emibili ebalulekile: i-1) itshe lasikwa entabeni, kwathi i-2) lacekela phansi isithombe.

“Ezinsukwini zalawo makhosi uNkulunkulu wezulu uyomisa umbuso ongasoze wachithwa. Futhi lo mbuso ngeke udluliselwe kwabanye abantu. Uyakuchoboza uqede yonke le mibuso, yona kuphela eyiyo, ⁴⁵ njengoba nje ubonile ukuthi ngaphandle kwentaba itshe alizange lisikwe ngesandla, nokuthi lachoboza insimbi, nethusi, nobumba, nesiliva negolide. UNkulunkulu Omkhulu wazise inkosi lokho okuzokwenzeka esikhathini esizayo. Leli phupho liyiqiniso, futhi incazelo yalo ithembekile. ”(I-Da 2: 44, 45)

Lamavesi amabili alandelayo asinikeza ngokuchazwa kwephupho elichazwe emavesini 34 naku-35: 1) Itshe lelo limelela ukumiswa kombuso kaNkulunkulu ngesikhathi lapho amakhosi amelwe yizinto ezahlukahlukene zesithombe asekhona; kanye ne-2) Umbuso kaNkulunkulu ubhubhisa wonke lawo makhosi ngesikhathi esithile emva kokumiswa kwawo noma “ukusungulwa”.

In IHubo 110, AmaHeberu 10, Futhi UDaniel 2, kuchazwa imicimbi emibili kuphela. Ayikho indawo yomcimbi wesithathu. Kodwa-ke, phakathi kokusungulwa koMbuso kwekhulu lokuqala kanye nempi yokugcina nezizwe, oFakazi BakaJehova bazama ukwenza isangweji emcimbini wesithathu — uhlobo oluthile lokuqiniswa kombuso. I-Kingdom 2.0 ngesichazamazwi sanamuhla.

“Sithunywa sami. . . Uyovula Indlela Phambi Kwami ”

Ezigabeni 3-5, imibuzo okufanele iphendulwe yile:

• “Kwakungubani“ isithunywa sesivumelwano ”okukhulunywa ngaso ku UMalaki 3: 1? "
• "Kwakuzokwenzekani ngaphambi kokuba 'isithunywa sesivumelwano' size ethempelini?"

Manje uma ungumfundi weqiniso weBhayibheli, kungenzeka ukuthi usebenzisa izethenjwa ezitholakala ku-NWT namanye amaBhayibheli ukuzokuyisa ku UMathewu 11: 10. Lapho uJesu ukhuluma ngoJohane uMbhapathizi. Uthi, “Nguye lo okulotshwe ngaye ukuthi: 'Bheka! Ngithuma isithunywa sami phambi kwakho, esizolungisa indlela yakho phambi kwakho! '”

UJesu ucaphuna UMalaki 3: 1, ukuze ukwazi ukuphendula umbuzo (b) ngokuphepha ngokuthi “John the Baptist”. Maye, umqhubi kungenzeka ukuthi angakwamukeli lokho njengempendulo efanele, okungenani hhayi ngokusho kwencwadi UMbuso KaNkulunkulu Uyabusa.

Phawula ukuthi UMalaki 3: 1, UJehova ukhuluma ngezindima ezintathu ezihlukile: 1) ingelosi kuthunyelwe ukusula indlela ngaphambi kokuvela kwe-2) i Lord weqiniso, ne-3) i ingelosi yesivumelwano. Njengoba uJesu esitshela ukuthi uJohane uMbhaphathizi wayeyisithunywa esathunyelwa ukuyovula indlela, kulandela ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi yeqiniso. (I-Re 17: 14; 1Co 8: 6) Noma kunjalo, uJesu ubuye nendima yesithunywa sesivumelwano. (ULuka 1: 68-73; 1Co 11: 25) Ngakho-ke uJesu ugcwalisa indima yesibili neyesithathu eyabikezelwa nguMalaki.

Njengoba sibheka sonke isiprofetho sikaMalaki, kuba sobala kunoma yimuphi umfundi womlando weBhayibheli ukuthi uJesu wagcwalisa wonke la mazwi ngomsebenzi wakhe phakathi nenkonzo yakhe yeminyaka emi-3½. Ngempela weza ethempelini - ithempeli elingokoqobo, hhayi "igceke lasemhlabeni" eliqanjiwe - futhi njengoba uMalaki aprofetha, wenza umsebenzi wokuhlanza amadodana kaLevi. Waletha isivumelwano esisha futhi ngenxa yomsebenzi wakhe wokuhlanza, kwaqalwa isigaba esisha sabapristi, amadodana angokomoya kaLevi, noma njengoba uPawulu esho kwabaseGalathiya, “u-Israyeli kaNkulunkulu.” (IGa 6: 16)

Ngokudabukisayo, akukho kulokhu okuzuzisa Inhlangano efuna ukulungiswa kombhalo ngobukhona bayo. Bafuna ukugunyazwa kweBhayibheli 'ngendawo yabo kanye nesizwe sabo.' (John 11: 48) Ngakho-ke basebenzise ukugcwaliseka kwesibili — ukugcwaliseka okumiselwe manje okufanekisiwe — okungashiwongo ndawo noma yimuphi umbhalo.[i]  Kulokhu kugcwaliseka, ithempeli akulona ngempela ithempeli, kepha ingxenye ayikaze ikhulunywe eBhayibhelini, “igceke lasemhlabeni”. Futhi, noma uJehova ekhuluma ngeNkosi yeqiniso, akabhekisi kuJesu, kepha uzisho kuye. UJesu ushiywe njengesithunywa sesivumelwano, isimo sakhe "seqiniso seNkosi" sihoxisiwe yimfundiso ye-Watchtower. Esikhundleni salokho, kufanele sikholwe ukuthi isithunywa esilungisa indlela ngu-CT Russell nabalingani bakhe.

Isifundo sonke lesi sinikelwe “ukufakazela” ukuthi uRussel nabangane bakhe abaseduze bagcwalisa okushiwo ukugcwaliseka kwesibili kwamazwi kaMalaki aphathelene nesithunywa esisusa indlela. Lokhu kusekelwe kwinkolelo yokuthi ngokukhulula abafundi beBhayibheli inkolelo yamanga kaZiqu-zintathu, ukungafi komphefumlo womuntu, nesihogo Somlilo, laba bantu babelungiselela indlela yeNkosi yeqiniso, uJehova, kanye nesithunywa sesivumelwano , UJesu Kristu, ukuhlola igceke lasemhlabeni lethempeli elilandela i-1914.

Iningi lofakazi abafunda lokhu bazokholwa ukuthi abafundi beBhayibheli kuphela abakhululiwe kulezi zimfundiso. Usesho olulula lwe-inthanethi luzoveza uhlu lwamahlelo obuKrestu anqaba ezinye noma zonke lezi zimfundiso futhi. Noma kunjalo, uma sizokwamukela umbono wokuthi ukuzikhulula emfundisweni yamanga kusho ukugcwaliseka kwe- UMalaki 3: 1, ke uRussell akakwazi ukuba yindoda yethu.

UJohane uMbhaphathizi wayengenguye ngokungangabazeki isithunywa esungisa indlela, ngokusekelwe emazwini kaJesu uqobo at UMathewu 11: 10. Wayengumuntu omkhulu kunabo bonke futhi ngeminyaka yakhe. (I-Mt 11: 11) Ingabe uRussell wayengumlingani ofanele wosuku lwanamuhla kaJohn the Baptist? Kuyavunywa, waqala kahle. Ngesikhathi esemusha, wathonywa abefundisi bama-Adventist uGeorge Storrs noGeorge Stetson futhi kusukela ezifundweni zakhe zokuqala neqembu labafundi beBhayibheli abazinikele, wazikhulula ezimfundisweni zamanga ezinjengoNkulunkulu onguZiqu-zintathu, ukuhlushwa kwaphakade esihogweni, nomuntu ongafi umphefumulo. Kubukeka sengathi wenqabe nokulandelana kwezikhathi zesiprofetho eminyakeni yakhe yokuqala. Ukube wayehlale kuleyo nkambo, ngubani owaziyo ukuthi kungaba yini umphumela. Ukuthi inkambo yokwethembeka yokunamathela eqinisweni bekungaba ukugcwaliseka kwesibili kwe UMalaki 3: 1 ngomunye umbuzo ngokuphelele, kepha nokuvumela ukutolikwa okunjalo, uRussell nabalingani bakhe bebengahambisani nalo mthetho-sisekelo. Kungani singakusho ngokuqiniseka okungaka? Ngoba sinerekhodi lomlando esizodlula kulo.

Nasi isicaphuna ku-1910 edition ye Izifundo emiBhalweni IVolumu 3. Mayelana nembhoshongo waseGiza, uRussell awubiza ngokuthi “yiBible in Stone”, siyafunda:

“Ngakho-ke, uma silinganisa sibuyele emuva“ Phambi Kokwenyuka Iphasela ”kusihlanganisi salo nge-“ Entrance Passage, ”sizoba nosuku olubekiwe lokumaka ekhasini eliphansi. Lesi silinganiso yi-1542 amayintshi, futhi kukhombisa unyaka BC 1542, njengosuku kulelo phuzu. Bese silinganisa “i-Entrance Passage” kusuka kulelo phuzu, ukuthola ibanga eliya ekungeneni kwe- “Pit,” elifanekisela inkathazo enkulu nokubhujiswa okuzovalwa yilonyaka, lapho ububi buyobe bususwa emandleni, siyabuthola ukuba ngamasentimitha we-3457, okufanekisela iminyaka ye-3457 kusuka ngosuku olungaphezulu, i-BC 1542. Lesi sibalo sibonisa i-AD. I-1915 njengokumaka ukuqala kwenkathi yobunzima; yeminyaka ye-1542 BC kanye ne-1915 iminyaka AD. ilingana iminyaka ye-3457. Ngakho-ke, iPhiramidi lifakaza ukuthi ukuvalwa kwe-1914 kuzoba yisikhathi sesikhathi sobunzima esingazange sibe khona njengoba kwakukhona isizwe - cha, futhi ngeke kusaba khona ngemuva kwalokho. Futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuzophawulwa ukuthi lo “Fakazi” ugcizelela ngokuphelele 'ubufakazi beBhayibheli kule ndaba ... "

Ngaphandle komqondo odidayo wokuthi uNkulunkulu wafaka ukubala kwezikhathi kweBhayibheli ekwenziweni kombhoshongo waseGibhithe, sinemfundiso esabekayo yokuthi isizwe esacwila ebuhedeni kufanele sibe umthombo wesambulo saphezulu. Uchungechunge lukaRussell olungenqamuki lwezibikezelo ezihlulekile lwezikhathi luzokwanela ukumdicilela phansi futhi azihlanganise noJohn uMbhapathizi wosuku lwanamuhla, kodwa uma kukhona ukungabaza okusalayo, ngokuqinisekile ukuzimisela kwabo ebuqabeni — uphawu lukankulunkulu welanga uHorus lubonisa isembozo sika Izifundo EmiBhalweni—kufanele kube ngokwanele kithi ukubona ukuthi ukuhunyushwa kweNdikimba Ebusayo UMalaki 3: 1 iyisidina.

Ngokuqinisekile ngokwayo, le ncwadi iyaqhubeka ithi:

"Njengoba isihloko sayo siphelele sibonisa, iphephabhuku IZion's Watch Tower neHerald of Christ’s Presence wayekhathazeke kakhulu ngeziprofetho eziphathelene nokuba khona kukaKristu. Ababhali abagcotshiweyo abathembekile ababeneqhaza kuleyo magazini babona ukuthi isiprofetho sikaDaniyeli esiphathelene “nezikhathi eziyisikhombisa” saba nomthelela ngesikhathi sokugcwaliseka kwezinjongo zikaNkulunkulu maqondana noMbuso kaMesiya. Ngokushesha njengama-1870, akhomba ukuze 1914 njengonyaka lapho lezo zikhathi eziyisikhombisa zazizophela. (UDan. I-4: 25; ULuka 21: 24) Yize abafowethu bangaleso sikhathi bengakakuqondi ukubaluleka kwawo wonke lowo nyaka, babememezela lokho ababekude, kube nemiphumela ehlala njalo. ” - isig. I-10

Bonke kodwa bambalwa kakhulu boFakazi BakaJehova emhlabeni wonke abazosifunda lesi sigaba futhi basiqonde ukusho lokho IZion's Watch Tower neHerald of Christ’s Presence yayimemezela ukuba khona kukaKristu okungabonakali kuka-1914. Eqinisweni, lo magazini wawumemezela ubukhona ababecabanga ukuthi base buqalile ngo-1874. I-1914 ngokuqukethwe, kukhombisa ukuthi ukubalwa kwezikhathi okusekelwe eBhayibhelini kwabaFundi BeBhayibheli okusekelwe kakhulu ezimfundisweni zethu zamanje ukulandelana okude kwencazelo eqanjiwe ehlulekile. Ukusho, njengoba kwenza isigaba, ukuthi “abafowethu bangaleso sikhathi babengakakuqondi ukubaluleka okuphelele kwalowo nyaka ophawuliwe” kufana nokuthi iSonto LamaKatolika lezikhathi eziphakathi belingakakuqondi ngokugcwele ukubaluleka kwemfundiso yabo yokuthi umhlaba umaphakathi nendawo yonke. Ngempela, manje singasho ukuthi ukubaluleka okuphelele kwenkolelo yabaFundi BeBhayibheli ngonyaka we-1914 njengonyaka ophawuliwe ukuthi lonke uhlelo lwabo lwezinkolelo lususelwa enganekwaneni engenasisekelo salo emiBhalweni.

Okwenza lokhu kube kubi kakhulu ukuthi bathi uJehova uNkulunkulu unecala lakho konke.

"Ngaphezu kwakho konke, [uRussell] wadumisa uJehova uNkulunkulu, lowo obhekele ukufundisa abantu baKhe lokho okudingeka bakwazi lapho kudingeka bazi." - isig. I-11

Ngabe kufanele sikholwe ukuthi uJehova wafundisa abantu bakhe inganekwane yokuba khona kukaKristu ngo-1874 ngoba yilokho ababedinga ukukwazi ngaleso sikhathi? Ngabe kufanele sikholwe ukuthi wabakhohlisa ngemfundiso engamanga yokuthi u-1914 uzoba ukuqala kosizi olukhulu — imfundiso eyashiywa kuphela ngo-1969 — ngoba babedinga ukuyazi leyonganekwane? Ingabe uJehova uyabadukisa abantwana bakhe? Ingabe uSomandla uqamba amanga kwabancane bakhe?

Into embi kabi ukuyifaka, kepha-ke sisasele nalesi siphetho uma singemukela okushiwo isigaba 11.

Kufanele sizizwe kanjani ngezinto ezinjalo? Ingabe kufanele simane sikushiye njengokwehluleka kwabantu abangaphelele? Akufanele yini 'senze into enkulu ngakho'? UPaul wathi, “Ngubani ongakhubeki, nami ngingavuthi ngolaka? Kufanele sithukuthele ngalezi zinto. Inkohliso esilinganisweni esikhulu edukisa amadoda! Lapho abanye bebona ubukhulu benkohliso, bazokwenzenjani? Abaningi bazoshiya uNkulunkulu ngokuphelele; ukhubeke. Lokhu akukhona ukuqagela. Ukuskena okusheshayo kwezinkundla ze-inthanethi kukhombisa ukuthi kunezinkulungwane eziningi eziwele ngasendleleni lapho zibona ukuthi zidukisiwe impilo yazo yonke. Laba basola uNkulunkulu ngokungalungile, kodwa lokho akukhona yini ukuthi batshelwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubhekene nazo zonke lezi zimfundiso?

Kubukeka sengathi sibonile kuphela ichopho leqhwa ezifundweni ezimbili ezedlule. Sizobona ukuthi isiphi isonto elizayo elisilethelayo.

[i] Lapho efingqa isikhundla sethu esisha ngokusetshenziswa kwezinhlobo nezinhlobo zokufanekisa, kusho uDavid Splane Uhlelo Lomhlangano Wonyaka we2014:

“Ngubani ozonquma ukuthi umuntu noma umcimbi uluhlobo oluthile uma izwi likaNkulunkulu lingasho lutho ngalo? Ngubani okufanelekelayo ukwenza lokho? Impendulo yethu? Ngeke senze okungcono kunalokho ukucaphuna umfowethu othandekayo u-Albert Schroeder owathi, "Kudingeka siqaphele kakhulu lapho sisebenzisa ama-akhawunti emiBhalweni yesiHeberu njengezindlela zokuprofeta noma izinhlobo uma la ma-akhawunti engasetshenziswanga emiBhalweni uqobo." ukuthi isitatimende esihle? Siyavumelana nayo. ”(Bheka i-2: 13 umaki wevidiyo)

Ngemuva kwalokho, sizungeze i-2: umaki we-18, uSplane unikeza isibonelo somfowethu oyedwa u-Arch W. Smith owayeyithanda inkolelo esake sayibamba ngokubaluleka kwamaphiramidi. Kodwa-ke i-1928 INqabayokulinda wayichitha leyo mfundiso, walwamukela lolu shintsho ngoba, uma sicaphuna uSplane, “wavumela izizathu zanqoba imizwa.” USplane ube eqhubeka ethi, “Ezikhathini zamuva nje, umkhuba osezincwadini zethu bekuwukubheka ukusetshenziswa ngokoqobo kwezenzakalo hhayi izinhlobo lapho imiBhalo ngokwayo ingazichazi ngokucacile ukuthi zinjalo. Ngeke nje sidlule kulokho okubhaliwe."
