Lokhu kusakaza kuyingxenye ye-1 yomkhosi wokuthweswa iziqu we-143^rd Ikilasi laseGileyadi. IGilead ibikade iyisikole esivunyelwe eNew York State, kepha akusenjalo.

USamuel Herd weNdikimba Ebusayo wavula izikhathi ngokukhuluma ngoJehova njengoMfundisi wethu Omkhulu. (Isa. 30:20) Njengenjwayelo, akukhulunywa lutho ngoJesu. Nokho, kusukela ngekhulu lokuqala, manje usenguMfundisi wethu Omkhulu. (UJohane 13:13; UMathewu 23: 8) UHerd ​​uphinde wathi ezinyangeni ezinhlanu ezedlule, abafundi bebehleli ezinyaweni zikaJehova, ngoba umhlaba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zakhe. Nakulokhu, uHerd ubuyela ku-OT ecaphuna ku-Isaya 66: 1, kuneqiniso elisesikhathini manje lokuthi uNkulunkulu ubeke umhlaba waba yisenabelo seNdodana yakhe, esifunda ezinyaweni zayo. (Luka 20:42) Uthi ulwazi abafundi abalutholile lubasondeze kakhulu kuJehova, kodwa akekho noyedwa ongasondela kuJehova ngaphandle kweNdodana. Ngaphandle kokufanelekile — hhayi nje ukuthula — ukuqashelwa kukaJesu, akunakwenzeka ukusondela kuNkulunkulu, uBaba. (Johane 14: 6, 7) Kungani inhlonipho efanele inganikezwa iNdodana?

Cishe emizuzwini engu-7: 30, uSam Herd uthi, “Simane sithinta izinto… futhi ngokokuqala ngqa. Cabanga nje kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, zingaki izinto esizithintile okokuqala, yize sifunde iBhayibheli kaninginingi, futhi sililalele lifundwa kaninginingi, kepha sisanda kuthinta izinto ezimbalwa.  Njengesizukulwane. Eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule besingasazi isizukulwane. Kodwa manje sesazi konke ngesizukulwane. ”

Kwadingeka ngime kancane ukuze ngithathe isilevu sami phansi.

Sisanda kukuthinta lokhu okokuqala? Besingazi ngakho ngaphambilini? Izincwadi ziye zaba nezincazelo ezahlukahlukene mayelana nencazelo yalesi “sizukulwane” iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu! Cishe njalo eminyakeni eyishumi kusukela eshumini leminyaka lama-100 kuya phambili, "sasilungisa" futhi "salungisa" ukuqonda kwethu. Ngabe konke lokho sekukhohliwe, kushanelwe ngaphansi kukakhaphethi womlando? Futhi kwenzelwa ini? Ingabe yimfundiso eqanjiwe engasekelwa emiBhalweni?

Akunangqondo kunengqondo.

UJesu wathi: "Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe lesi sizukulwane asisoze sadlula zingakenzeki zonke lezi zinto." (Mt 24: 34) Ukube uJesu ubekhuluma ngesizukulwane esingeke size emhlabeni wonke se-1,900 iminyaka, umuntu ubengalindela ukuba athi “ukuthi isizukulwane ”. Ngaphandle kwalokho, uthi “lokhu isizukulwane ”simane nje siyadukisa.

Ngakho-ke, lowo umgodi owodwa ekucabangeni. Kepha linda, singaphakamisa yini ukuthi ngo “lokhu”, uJesu wayeqonde isizukulwane esasikhona ngo-1914? Kulungile, asihambe nalokho. Ngakho-ke ukhona, ngo-1914… ubhapathiziwe futhi ugcotshwe ngomoya, futhi usanda kubona ukuqala kweMpi Yezwe Yokuqala. Uyingxenye "yalesi sizukulwane". Ngakho ngokwamazwi kaJesu, uzobona ukuphela; uzobona 'zonke lezi zinto zenzeka'. Ah, kepha cha. Ngeke. Ungaba yingxenye "yalesi sizukulwane", isizukulwane sika-1914, kodwa kukhona esinye “lesi sizukulwane”, esingakabikho — kepha akusona “leso” kodwa “lesi”. Ngakho-ke lapho “lesi sizukulwane” sango-1914 sonke sesifile, khona-ke “lesi sizukulwane” (esingakaze sibonwe ngo-1914) sizoba yingxenye yesizukulwane sika-1914. “Lezi zizukulwane” ezimbili ezihlukene, kodwa isizukulwane esisodwa nje esikhulu, esisodwa "lesi sizukulwane".

USam Herd uthi "sikuthinte okokuqala lokhu." Lapho ngihlala khona, "ukuthintwa" kunenye incazelo.

Izinkulumo ezimbalwa ezilandelayo zinikeza iseluleko esihle kahle kulabo abathweswe iziqu ukuba babaqondise ekuzwaneni nabanye njengoba bephuma ezabelweni zabo. Izinkulumo eziningi zisuselwa ezibonelweni zangezikhathi zakwa-Israyeli. Ngakho-ke, konke ukugxila kubuye kuJehova, kunikezwe okuncane kuJesu.

Ukungazethembi okukhulayo kweNdikimba Ebusayo kubonakala enkulumweni yokugcina: Enye futhi indlela yokulalela ngokungaboni. UMark Noumair uya ekulandiseni kuka-2 Samuweli 21: 1-10 futhi kufanele afinyelele ngempela ukusiguqula sibe yisibonelo esingasetshenziswa ukwenza oFakazi babekezelele ukungabi nabulungisa, okubonakalayo nokwenzekayo, kubadala nakwabaphezulu. enhlanganweni. Inhloso yakhe ukukwenza uhlale uthembekile, ngenkathi ubekezela buthule futhi ubeka isibonelo nakwabanye ukuthi benze okufanayo. I-akhawunti iyamangaza ngokwayo ngokwendlela yethu yesimanje, kepha ukuzama ukuyisebenzisa ukukhuthaza ukwethembeka ezinhlelweni zenhlangano kumangalisa nje.

Nayi i-akhawunti:

“Manje kwakukhona indlala ezinsukwini zikaDavide iminyaka emithathu ilandelana, ngakho-ke uDavide wabonana noJehova, futhi uJehova wathi:“ USawule nendlu yakhe wayenecala legazi, ngoba wabulala abaseGibheyoni. ”2 Ngakho inkosi yabiza abaseGibheyoni yakhuluma nabo. (Ngeshwa, abaseGibheyoni kwakungewona ama-Israyeli kepha ama-Amori asala, nama-Israyeli afunga ukuwasindisa, kepha uSawule wafuna ukubabulala ngentshiseko yakhe kubantu bakwa-Israyeli nabakwaJuda.) U-3 uDavid uthe kwabaseGibheyoni: “Yini okufanele ngikwenzele yona, futhi ngingakwenza kanjani ukubuyisana, ukuze ubusise ifa likaJehova?” U-4 abaseGibheyoni bathi kuye: “Akuyona into. Indaba yesiliva noma yegolide kithi maqondana noSawule nendlu yakhe; futhi asinakubulala muntu kwa-Israyeli. ”Yathi:“ Engikushoyo, ngizokwenzela khona. ”5 Basebesithi enkosini:“ Umuntu owasiqothula wahlela ukusiqothula lapho kungahlali ndawo. ezweni lakwa-Israyeli- u-6 masinikwe amadodana akhe ayisikhombisa. Sizophanyeka izidumbu zazo phambi kukaJehova eGibheya likaSawule, okhethiweyo kaJehova. ”Inkosi yabe isithi:“ Ngizowanikela. ”7 Kodwa-ke, inkosi yakhombisa ukuzwela uMefibhosheti, indodana kaJonathani indodana kaSawule, ngenxa yesifungo esenziwe phambi kukaJehova phakathi kukaDavide noJonathani, indodana kaSawule. Ngakho-ke inkosi yathatha u-Aromoni noMefibhosheti, amadodana amabili kaRizpa indodakazi ka-Aya ayizalele uSawule, namadodana amahlanu kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawule ayizalele u-Adriyeli indodana UBharizilayi umMeherati. I-8 Wayesebanikela kwabaseGibheyoni, futhi babethela izidumbu zabo entabeni phambi kukaJehova. Bonke abayisikhombisa babo bafa kanye kanye; Babulawa ezinsukwini zokuqala zokuvunwa, ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kwebhali. I-9 URizpa, indodakazi ka-Aya, wathatha indwangu yamasaka wayendlala edwaleni kusukela ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kuze kube imvula yehla ezulwini isemazimbeni; akavumanga izinyoni zezulu ukuba zihlale phezu kwabo emini nezilo zasendle ukuba zisondele ebusuku. ”(10Sa 2: 21-1)

Enye yezincazelo ezinhle kakhulu engizibonile ngalokhu ivela ku UWelwyn Commentary weTestamente eliDala. Yinde kancane, kepha kufanelekile ukuthi ifundwe uma ufuna ngempela ukuthola isibambo ku-mindset engaba khona yalezo zinsuku.

'Kungenxa kaSawule nendlu yakhe eyayigcwele igazi…' (2 Samuel 21: 1).

Ehlobo le-1977, i-United States yazanyazanyiswa uchungechunge lwezinhlekelele ezimbi kakhulu. ICalifornia yabhidlizwa yisomiso futhi yavutha imililo ngehlathi. Izikhukhula enkabeni yePennsylvania zathatha izimpilo eziningi futhi zakhumbula iSikhukhula saseJohnstown se1889 esangcwaba idolobha lonke ngobusuku obubodwa. Futhi idolobha laseNew York lathusa ngokubulawa 'kwendodana kaSam' kanye 'nomnyama omnyama' lapho izitolo ze-2,000 zaphangwa ngobusuku obubodwa. Abantu abaningi babenesizathu sokubuza, 'Kusho ukuthini lezi zinto?' Futhi izimpendulo ze-galore zavela ososayensi, odokotela bezengqondo nodokotela bezenhlalo.

Bambalwa, uma bekhona, yalezi pundits zemidiya bebenengxenyenamba yokuqonda kulezi zinkinga izangoma zikaFaro ababenazo lapho, eminyakeni ye-3,500 edlule, babhekana nezinhlupho ezazizehlele eGibhithe. Izazi zazinomqondo omncane wezimbangela zesibili ezisibheka kusikhathi sethu sesayensi. Abakwazanga ukusampula amanzi abomvu egazi leNayile bawathumele elabhorethri ukuthi lihlaziywe; babengenazo izazi zezilwane zokubakhanyisela ngokukhanya okukhulu kwamaxoxo nesikhonyane; babengenayo 'isayensi' yokuhlinzeka 'izincazelo' ezingekho ngaphezu kokuchazwa ngokwendalo kwemicimbi. Futhi-ke, njengabaphezulu kwemvelo —kanye nabezizwe abanamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo — babefuna izimpendulo eziphezulu. Bahlanganisa bobabili nababili futhi bafinyelela impendulo yokuthi konke lokho kuhlobene nokuxabana kwabo noMose nama-Israyeli nokuthi, ngenxa yalokho, lezi zinhlekelele 'zazingumunwe kaNkulunkulu' (U-Eksodusi 8: 19). Bebeqonda ukuthi yini indoda yanamuhla yezwe kanye nama “Christian” wezwe anqaba ngokuqinile ukuvuma-ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenza emlandweni nokuthi, ngenxa yalokho, kunobudlelwano phakathi kokuziphatha komuntu nez izehlakalo zomlando ezingachazwa kuphela ngokuya ngomdlalo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngesono somuntu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kwengalo ende yomthetho kaNkulunkulu.

Lokhu wudaba olubhekiswe ku-2 uSamuel 21. Kusetshenziswa okokuqala ebudlelwaneni obuphakathi kwabaseGibheyoni, iqembu lamaKhanani elihlala kwa-Israyeli, nama-Israyeli, ngokubhekisisa emzameni owedlule weNkosi uSawule owedlule wokusebenzisa 'ikhambi lokugcina' lokuqothulwa 'kwenkinga' eqhubekayo yalezo zifundo zabantu (21: 1-14). Kuboniswa futhi ngokusebenza ekubhujisweni kwamaFilisti futhi, ngesinye isikhathi, ukusindiswa kwempilo kaDavide empini (21: 15-22). Ingalo yeNkosi ifinyelela ekuqinisekiseni ubulungiswa bayo futhi ibize onecala ukuthi alandise. Kepha kuyingalo efanayo engafinyezwanga ukuze ingakwazi ukusindisa.

Isono sidalulwe [21: 1-2]

Indima iqopha ukuthi 'Ngesikhathi sokubusa kukaDavide, kwaba khona indlala iminyaka emithathu elandelanayo.' Akukacaci ukuthi kubuswa nini uDavida indlala yeminyaka emithathu kwenzeka ngasiphi isikhathi. Umfundaze wamanje ubheka i-2 uSamuel 21-24 njengesithasiselo ekulandiseni okungokomlando-okubizwa ngokuthi 'uSamuel Appendix'-futhi ngenxa yalokho kungenzeka kungenzeki ngokulandelana kwezikhathi okulandelanayo. Noma ngabe icala linjani, akungabazeki ukuthi isazi-mlando esiphefumulelwe saqopha izimo zenhlekelele ngalesi sikhathi kulandisa lwaso ukuze sigxile esihlokweni esifanayo njengezahluko 19 ne20, okuwukuthi, ukusebenzelana kukaDavid nabasekeli kanye nenzalo yendlu kaSawule. Uzokhumbula ukuthi ngenkathi uDavide ebaleka u-Abisalomu, uShimeyi wayembize ngokuthi 'yigazi' ngenxa yokusolwa kwakhe ukuphathwa kwendlu kaSawule (16: 7-8). Kungenzeka ukuthi leli cala liqhamuke ezindabeni ezimbozwe yi-21: 2-14 -ukubulawa kwabazukulu bakaSawule. Amarekhodi alesi sigameko, afakiwe, ngombhalo ngalesi sikhathi ukuze kuqondwe irekhodi lelo. Ngokombono wesazi-mlando, lokhu kuyingxenye ebalulekile ekulandiseni kokubuyiselwa kukaDavid, ngoba kuyamfakazela ukuthi uyinkosi yeNkosi phezu kwako konke ukuzibophezela okukhona endlini kaSawule, njengoba kuvezwe nguShimei, uSheba kanye nabakwaBenjamini. UDavida uphakama njengenkosi elungile egunyazwe yiNkosi.

Isinyathelo sokuqala salesi siphetho esishiwoyo ukuhlonza indlala yeminyaka emithathu yezono zikaSawule nendlu yakhe eyayigcwele igazi. UDavid 'wayefune ubuso beNkosi' ngoba wayazi ukuthi indlala yayiba nobudlelwano bohlobo oluthile nesimo sokuziphatha nokomoya somphakathi wakwa-Israyeli (Duteronome 28: 47-48). Ngamagama anamuhla, singasho ukuthi izinhlekelele zemvelo azibizwa ngokuthi 'zemvelo' kepha zihlobene nesimo sesintu esinesono futhi zakha ingxenye eyodwa ekusebenzeni kukaNkulunkulu nabantu. UDavid akazange abalekele iziphetho ngalokhu. Akazange acabange ukuthi yiziphi izizathu, noma azungeze ozakwabo abahlaziye umhluzi. Wabuza iNkosi ngezindlela ezinqunyiwe futhi kwambulelwa ukuthi isizathu ukuthi inkosi eyi-Sauli uSawule 'yabulala abaseGibeyoni'.

AbaseGibheyoni babengabantu bama-Amori (amaKhanani) ababesuswe lapho u-Israyeli engena ezweni. Babekade bethole isivumelwano sokuthula no-Israyeli ngenkohliso yobuhlakani (uJoshua 9: 3-15). Lapho ama-Israyeli ethola ukuthi ayekhohlisiwe, kodwa asihlonipha isifungo (cf. Ihubo 15: 4). Lesi kwakuyisivumelwano uSawula ayephule ngaso ngokuzama ukuqothula abaseGibeyoni (21: 2). Isono sasihlanganiswa neqiniso lokuthi ngenkathi uNkulunkulu eyala uSawule ukuba aqothule ama-Amaleki (1 uSamuel 15: 3), akazange anikeze imiyalo enjalo maqondana nabaseGibeyoni. Iminyaka yayidlulile kusukela kulobu bugebengu, kepha uNkulunkulu akazange abukhohlwe futhi indlala yayingumthelela wokuqala wobulungiswa bakhe.

Lesi simo esimangazayo somphumela nomphumela wesono nokwahlulela sibonisa izimiso ezintathu zokusebenzelana kukaNkulunkulu nabantu nezizwe, futhi ikakhulukazi ngokusobala nabantu bakhe, isonto-kwa-Israyeli kwakuyibandla ngesikhathi seTestamente Elidala.

1. Lapho uSawule ehlasela abaseGibheyoni, cishe wakwenza ngesibindi sokuthi lokho kuzojabulisa uNkulunkulu. Noma kunjalo wayengenayo imvume yokwenza lokho. UZimu bekamtshele ukuthi asebenzisane nama-Amaleki, kepha wamiselela umsebenzi olula, olula kakhulu wehla kumaGibeyoni angenakulungelwa. Wanquma ukwenza lokho afuna ukukwenza, lapho azi kahle kahle ukuthi yini uNkulunkulu afuna akwenze, futhi wagqoka ukungamlaleli kwakhe ekukhohliseni okuhloniphekayo komqondo wokuthi wayewenza umsebenzi weNkosi noma kunjalo. Uma ungeke nje ukone ngesibindi, uthola indlela yokuyichaza kabusha ngokuthi 'ilungile'! Le ndlela ingashintshwa kalula kunoma isiphi isici sempilo. Ngisho nokwephulwa okukhulu kweMiyalo Eyishumi kuye kwalungiswa ngale ndlela. Abafel 'ukholo babulewe ngokuzikhohlisa ukuthi nguNkulunkulu owayefuna ukubulawa kwabo, kanti iziphingi sezizithethelele ngokuthi le nkampani "yayinobuhlobo obumnandi, yayizinzile futhi ngenxa yalokho yamthokozisa kakhulu uNkulunkulu kunalobobumshado obabuphulwe ngumuntu wabo." isono.
2. Izinkinga nemicimbi yomlando akuzona izinto ezingenamqondo. Izingozi azikaze zibe 'yinhlanhla yomdwebo'. Konke kungubufakazi bomuntu siqu, okuwela ngaphakathi kokujikeleza kobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu — noma kungenakubukeka kangakanani kungabonakali ngaleso sikhathi. Akunasizathu sokuba amaKristu akholwe ngalokhu. UNkulunkulu usebenza emhlabeni futhi usitshela okuthile! Umhlaba ungawubiza ngokuthi 'yinhlanhla embi', kepha amaKhristu 'mawasebenzise olunye ulimi oluhlonipha uNkulunkulu' futhi aqaphele ukuthi 'Lapho ukumamatheka kukaNkulunkulu kususwa kithi, kufanele sisole ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle.' Ukusabela kwethu kokuqala kufanele kube ukuya eNkosini ngomkhuleko bese, noJobe, 'sithi kuNkulunkulu: Ungangilahli, kepha ngitshele ukuthi unamacala mni ngami.' Kulabo abathanda uJesu Kristu, impendulo ngeke ibe yinde, ngoba uNkulunkulu unguBaba onothando kubantu bakhe: njengabo bonke ubaba othembekile uyala izingane zakhe. Kepha njengoNkulunkulu olungileyo ngokuphelele, uyochoboza izitha zakhe, alwele nalabo ababacindezele. Izikhukhula nendlala kufanele zigxilise izingqondo zethu emibuzweni esebenzayo — kanye nasekupheleni — yempilo yethu, injongo yayo kanye nesiphetho sayo, kanye nezimangalo zikaNkulunkulu.
3. Yinsumansumane, noma idume kakhulu, leyo 'Isikhathi' 'ngumphilisi omkhulu'. 'Isikhathi' asiyona indawo yokuguquka nokuguqula izindlela zethu. Abantu bangakhohlwa izono zethu zangesikhathi esedlule futhi ukwamukelwa kokuhlanjalazwa kungabonakala njengokupholisa, kepha uNkulunkulu akakhohlwa ngoba uzolwela umthetho wakhe ngokuphelele nalabo abonile. Kwa-Israyeli, ukubulawa ngesihluku kwabaseGibeyoni kwakuyinhlekelele eyilibaleke ngokuphelele; KuNkulunkulu, kwakuwukulinganisa okulinda kuphela ukukhala kwakhe kwecilongo! Le yimvelo yobulungiswa bangempela bukaNkulunkulu waphakade. Akukho ukungabi nabulungisa okuyodlula kuye. Lapho abesilisa bebonakala behluleka ukwenza izinto isikhashana, bazizwa sengathi basendaweni ecacile — izinto 'zivele zishaye' noma 'zipholile'. Kepha ngokombono weNkosi akukho 'okushaya umoya' nje. Akukho 'simiso semikhawulo' nangobulungisa bukaNkulunkulu. Uyakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga.

Ukulunga kwabaseGibeyoni [21: 2-14]

Kufanele siphawule ukuthi abaseGibheyoni babengakaze bakhononde nge-pogrom kaSawule. Njengabo bonke abacindezelwe nabancane abancindezelwa konke, bafuna nje ukusinda. IProthestani ingavele yenze isihluku esithe xaxa futhi ifinyelele ekuqothulweni uSawule ayelwele ukumbulala ngakho. Izisulu zazithule. KwakuyiNkosi evule icala futhi nendlala yakhe yeminyaka emithathu. Ngakho-ke uDavida wasondela kwabaseGibheyoni ukuze ahlehlise isikhalazo sakhe esasesikhona. Wababuza, 'Ngizolungisa kanjani, ukuze nibusise ifa leNkosi?' (I-21: 3).

Impendulo nesicelo seGibheyoni (21: 4-6)

Impendulo yaseGibheyoni yayinobuhle njengoba yayivinjelwe. Okokuqala, babeqikelela ukuthi babheka bobabili amalungelo omthetho kaNkulunkulu kanye nokuba sengozini kwesimo sabo njengabantu abangaphansi. Abazange bacele ukulimala kwezezimali, ngoba iZwi LikaNkulunkulu liyakwenqabela ukulahleka kokuhweba ngokuphila ngokubulala imali. Isigwebo sentambo besisolo-futhi sisekhona namanje - isijeziso esifanele sokubulala (Izinombolo 35: 31-33). 'Lezo zinto ezibaluleke ngokweqile nempilo engelutho,' kusho uMathen Henry, 'abathengisa igazi lobuhlobo babo ngezinto ezonakalayo, njengesiliva negolide.' Futhi ababuzanga ukuthi bakhishwe ezinswelweni zabo ngaphansi kwama-Israyeli, okuzoba wukusebenza okusemthethweni komthetho wokubuyiselwa ku-Eksodusi 21: 26: 'Uma umuntu eshaya umbulala noma incekukazi esweni bese eyonakalisa, kufanele ayekele inceku iya ngokukhululeka ukuze ihlawule iso. ' Baphinde babona ukuthi babengenalo ilungelo lokubulala umuntu kwa-Israyeli. Ngale ndlela, ngobuhlakani babeka wonke umthwalo wobulungiswa esinqumeni sikaDavid sokuba imantshi enkulu yakwa-Israyeli. Babengekho ngaphandle komqondo walokho ababekufuna, kepha babefuna ukuthi uDavid aqonde ukuthi babephendula kuye ngokuthobeka nangendlela enomusa ngokweqiniso nangokuphikisana nendlela yokuziqhenya neyokuziphindiselela.

Lapho uDavid ephinda ebuza ukuthi yini angayenza, bacela ukuthi 'banikezwe izizukulwane eziyisikhombisa zabesilisa bakaSawule ukuthi babulawe futhi badalulwe phambi kweNkosi eGibeya likaSawule-okhethiweyo weNkosi' (21: 5-6 ). Lesi sicelo sivame ukubukwa namuhla ngokuthi 'siyinqaba futhi siyaphikisana' ngoba sasihilela ukubulawa kwabantu abayisikhombisa okuthiwa 'ngamadoda angenacala'. Ngakho-ke kuyimfashini yamanje yokuchaza lokhu 'ngokwesiko nangesimo sobudala'. Le ndlela, kepha ifaka isifiso seNkosi, eyahola uDavid ukuba adlulisele lobu bulungisa kwabaseGibeyoni. Kuphakamisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uqobo wayegcotshwa ngesiko nangesimo sangaleso sikhathi futhi wazizwa ephoqelekile ukuthi avumele lesi senzo esinecala ngokufanele senziwe ukuze sihambisane nemibono yobulungisa yesikhathi samanje. Okwamanje singazizwa kahle ukuthi sikhanyiselwe ngokwengeziwe! Ukuhlolwa kwalolu hlobo, noma kunjalo, kuwushaya indiva iqiniso elilula futhi eliyisisekelo kunabo bonke-iqiniso okufanele libe yisisekelo sokuhumusha sokuqonda ukuthi kwenzekani kule micimbi- ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukuvumile lokhu njengokuphindisela okulungiselelwe ukuqothulwa koqobo kukaSawule. UCharles Simon uqaphela kufanele: 'uhlobo olunjalo lokuziphindisela belungeke lube nesizathu esihle phakathi kwethu; ngoba izingane akumele zihlupheke ngenxa yamacala abazali [cf., Duteronome 24: 16]: kepha, njengokuyalwe nguNkulunkulu, bekulungile: futhi, uma iqiniso lonke laziwa, cishe besizothola ukuthi amadodana USawule wayesize futhi wasebenzisa amacebo amabi kayise; nokuthi-ke bahlupheka ngokufanelekile njengabalingani ecaleni lakhe. ' Kusemqoka ukuthi 'eziyisikhombisa' ezizukulwaneni zikaSawule kuphela zabulawa. Le nombolo imele isenzo sikaNkulunkulu nokuphelela kwesenzo sakhe. AbaseGibheyoni bacela isibalo esincane lapho ubulungiswa obunjalo bungabonakala bungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kunokubuyiselwa kwabantu. Noma kunjalo kulokhu, abaseGibheyoni bakhombisa ukuzithiba okufakazela ukuqonda nokuzithoba okukhulu kumakhanoni wobulungiswa baphezulu. Impendulo kaDavid kwakungukunikeza lesi sicelo.

Ukubulawa kwabantu abayisikhombisa (21: 7-9)

Ngasohlangothini lukaLoch Oich, ngomgwaqo ophakathi kweFort William ne-Inverness, eScotland, kukhona iqula, elibizwa ngokuthi yiGaelic, uTober n'an ceann'-'umthombo wamakhanda '. Isikhumbuzo esinamakhanda ayisikhombisa aqoshwe njengesikhumbuzo sokugeza lapho amakhanda asebanjiwe babulawa ngamakhanda amadodana kaMacdonald waseKeppoch ngaphambi kokuthi wethulwe yinkosi yomndeni oshonelwe ngenhloso yokufeza ubulungiswa, isitayela saseHighland. Lapho ubulungiswa benziwa, kudinga ukubonwa ukuthi benzelwe, ukuze abantu baqonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu akahlekwa. Ngakho-ke uDavide wakhetha abayisikhombisa bendlu kaSawule. Wanikela amadodana amabili kaSawule ngoRizpa kanye nabazukulu abahlanu, amadodana endodakazi kaSawule uMerabi, enakekela ukukhipha uMefibosheti, ngenxa yesivumelwano sakhe 'phambi kweNkosi' noJonathan, indodana kaSawule (21: 7). Abasikhombisa babulawa futhi izidumbu zabo zalengiswa ukuze ziboniswe emphakathini ngesikhathi sokuvunwa kwebhali, uphawu lokuthi indlala yayiyindlela kaNkulunkulu yokuletha isono sendlu kaSawule. Umbhalo uthi 'Noma ngubani obethelwe esihlahleni ungaphansi kwesiqalekiso sikaNkulunkulu' (Duteronome 21: 23).

Ukuqapha kukaRizpah (21: 10-14)

Ukuvezwa kwalezi zidumbu nakho bekuhlukile ngaphandle komthetho kaDeteronomi 21: 22-23, ebeka umngcwabo ngaphambi kokushona kobusuku ukuze 'izwe' lingadelelwa '. Isizathu salokhu ukuthi 'izwe' laliyifa likaNkulunkulu futhi ukushiya isidumbu singakhiswanga kungokoqobo nangokomfanekiso ukungcolisa lokho uNkulunkulu ayekunikeze. Isiqalekiso kumenzi wobubi owayebulewe kwakungamelwe sidluliselwe 'ezweni'. Kulokhu, okuphambene nalokho bekuyikho. 'Kwakuyizwe' elalivele lihlaselwe. Lokhu kubulawa kwakungu ngenhloso yokuqeda leso siqalekiso. Ngakho-ke ukuvezwa kwalezi zidumbu akugcinanga nje ubusuku bonke kepha kusuka ekuvuneni, okwakungo-Ephreli, ukufika kwemvula, okungenzeka ukuthi kwakuyinkathi yemvula ejwayelekile ngo-Okthoba! Okusho ukuthi, kwaqhubeka kuze kube yilapho lokho okuqinisekisa ukuvuna okulandelayo, futhi kwaba nokuqedwa kwesahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu, kwakuyiqiniso elifezekile.

Ukuphaphama kukaRizpah kuhlale kuleso sikhathi. Wazisola ngesono esasithathe amadodana akhe kuye. Wayekhala kuze kuzongcwatshwa kahle izidumbu zabo. Okwamanje uvimbele izidumbu zabo ukuthi zingagcwali inyamazane yezilwane zasendle — okuyisimo esiphawuleka kunazo zonke sokuzinikela kwamadodana akhe (21: 10). Lapho uDavida ezwa ngalokhu, washukumiseleka ukuba aqoqe amathambo kaSawule namadodana akhe, futhi, ngezinsalela zalabo abayisikhombisa, babangcwaba ethuneni likayise uKishi (21: 11-14). Lokhu kwaphawula ukucaciswa okucacile kwengxabano kaNkulunkulu no-Israyeli mayelana nokubulawa ngesihluku kwabaseGibeyoni. Umusa wakhe waphinda futhi wabusisa izilimo zabantu bakhe.

UMark Noumair uzoyisebenzisa kanjani le akhawunti ukusenza sihlale sithembekile eNhlanganweni?

Ukwenza iphuzu lakhe, uMark kumele aqale asenze sikholelwe ukuthi uRizpah wayengaqondi ukuthi kungani izidumbu zamadodana akhe nabazukulu bakhe zingangcwatshwa. Akunakwenzeka lokho, kepha kufanele asenze sikholelwe lokhu ngoba sonke isifaniso sakhe sincike kuso. Kumele futhi sicabange ukuthi, njengoba kwakunjalo ngaleso sikhathi, noma ikuphi ukungabi nabulungisa okubonakalayo esingahlangabezana nakho kwiNhlangano empeleni kuyamukelwa uNkulunkulu. Uma silalela, sithule, futhi ungakhonondi, kepha mane ubekezele futhi ubeke isibonelo esihle, sizoklonyeliswa nguNkulunkulu.

Ingqondo enjalo itholakalaphi emBhalweni? Cabanga nje uzama ukuthola u-Eliya noma u-Elisha noma omunye wabaprofethi ukuthi athenge lo mbono we-gooey.  'Qhubeka ubekezele, Eliya. Yebo, kukhona ukukhulekelwa kukaBhali okwenzekayo, kodwa uJehova ufuna uhloniphe labo bantu abaphethe, wenze lokho abakutshela khona. Thula nje, uhlale uthembekile, futhi uNkulunkulu uzokulungisa ngesikhathi sakhe, futhi akunikeze umvuzo omkhulu, ononile. '

UNoumair uthi: “Uthando nokuthembeka kukaRizpah nokubekezela kwakhe kunikeza isibonelo esifanele ukusilingisa. Uma ubhekene nokulingwa, khumbula ukuthi abanye babheka indlela oziphatha ngayo… babhekile… futhi ngenxa yokukhungatheka, ungazizwa uthi, 'Awu, kungani abadala bengenzanga lutho? Kungani ababonisi bengasinakekeli lesi simo? Jehova kungani ungenzi lutho? ' Futhi uJehova wathi, 'Kukhona engikwenzayo. Ngisebenzisa isibonelo sakho sokuthula ukukhombisa abanye ukuthi lapho ukhuthazelela isimo, ngizobaklomelisa. Ngizobanika umvuzo omkhulu kunalokho abebekulindele. Kuzokulungela ukulinda, ngoba mina, Jehova, ngiyathanda ukuba ngumvuzi. ' Yeka indlela enhle nehloniphekile ukusetshenziswa uJehova uNkulunkulu. ”
