Wenzeni?

UJehova uNkulunkulu wabe esethi kowesifazane: “Yini le uyenzile?” (UGenesise 3: 13)

Kungaba nezindlela ezingaphezu kweyodwa zokuchaza isono sika-Eva, kodwa ngokuqinisekile esinye sazo kungaba “ukuthinta lokho okungagunyaziwe ukuthinta.” Kwakungesona isono esincane. Konke ukuhlupheka kwabantu kungalandelwa emuva kukho. Imibhalo igcwele izibonelo zezinceku zikaNkulunkulu ezawela ogibeni olufanayo.

Kukhona umnikelo kaSawule wemihlatshelo yenhlanganyelo:

Waqhubeka elinda izinsuku eziyisikhombisa kuze kube isikhathi esinqunyelwe uSamuweli ayesimisile, kodwa uSamuyeli akafikanga eGiligali, futhi abantu babehlakazeka bemuka kuye. Ekugcineni uSawule wathi: “Lethani kimi umnikelo wokushiswa nemihlatshelo yenhlanganyelo.” Wanikela umhlatshelo wokushiswa. Kepha wathi eseqedile ukunikela ngomhlatshelo wokushiswa, wafika uSamuel. USawule wayesephuma ukumhlangabeza, wambusisa. USamuweli wathi: "Wenzeni?" (I-1 Samuel 13: 8-11)

Kukhona ukubamba kuka-Uza umkhumbi:

Kodwa lapho befika esibuyeni sikaNakcon, u-Uza welulela isandla sakhe eMphongolweni kaNkulunkulu weqiniso wawubamba, ngoba izinkomo zacishe zakuphazamisa. Kulokho intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Uza, uNkulunkulu weqiniso wamshaya lapho ngesenzo sakhe sokungahloniphi, futhi wafela lapho eceleni komphongolo kaNkulunkulu weqiniso. (I-2 Samuel 6: 6, 7)

Kukhona impepho eshisayo ka-Uziya ethempelini:

Kodwa-ke, lapho nje esenamandla, inhliziyo yakhe yazikhukhumeza kuye ekuchithekeni kwakhe, futhi wenza ngokungathembeki kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe ngokungena ethempelini likaJehova ukushisa impepho e-altare lempepho. Umedi umpristi u-Azariya no-80 nabanye abapristi bakaJehova abanesibindi bangena emva kwakhe. Bahlangana nenkosi u-Uziya bathi kuye: “Akufanele wena, U-Uziya, ukushisela impepho kuJehova! Kuphela abapristi kuphela okufanele bashise impepho, ngoba bayinzalo ka-Aroni, labo abangcwelisiwe. Phuma endlini engcwele, ngoba wenze ngokungathembeki futhi awusoze wafumana inkazimulo evela kuJehova uNkulunkulu ngalokhu. ”Kepha u-Uziya, owayenomcengezi wokushiswa impepho, wathukuthela; kwathi lapho ethukuthela abapristi, kwaqhamuka uchoko ebunzini lakhe phambi kwabapristi endlini kaJehova eceleni kwe-altare lempepho. (I-2 IziKronike 26: 16-19)

Kuthiwani namuhla? Ingabe ikhona indlela oFakazi BakaJehova 'abakuthinta ngayo lokho okungagunyaziwe ukuthinta'? Cabanga ngalo mbhalo olandelayo:

Ngokuphathelene nalolo suku nalelo hora akekho owaziyo, noma izingelosi zamazulu neNdodana, kuphela uYise. (UMathewu 24: 36)

Manje, cabanga ngalesi sicaphuni esilandelayo kusuka kuhlelo lokufunda luka-Ephreli 2018 lwe INqabayokulinda:

Namuhla, sinezizathu ezizwakalayo zokukholelwa ukuthi usuku lukaJehova olukhulu 'nolwesabekayo kakhulu luseduze.  - w18 Ephreli pp. 20-24, isigaba. I-2.

Ukubona ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuthi “eduze”, ake sibheke umhlaka-15 Januwari 2014 INqabayokulinda isihloko esithi "UMbuso Wakho Mawuze ”—Kodwa Nini?:

Kodwa-ke, amazwi kaJesu kuMathewu 24: 34 kusinika isiqiniseko sokuthi okungenani abanye balesi “sizukulwane ngeke badlule” ngaphambi kokubona ukuqala kosizi olukhulu. Lokhu kufanele kwenezele ukuqiniseka kwethu ukuthi kusasele isikhathi esincane ngaphambi kokuba iNkosi yoMbuso kaNkulunkulu ithathe isinyathelo sokubhubhisa ababi futhi ilethe izwe elisha lokulunga.-2 Pet. 3:13. (w14 1 / 15 pp. 27-31, isig. I-16.)

Njengoba ukwazi ukubona, “kungekudala” kusho esikhathini sokuphila sabantu abaphilayo manje, futhi njengoba lo mbhalo ucacisa umusho phambilini, labo bantu 'sebekhulile'. Ngalo mqondo, singabala ukuthi sisondelene impela, futhi sibeke umkhawulo ongaphezulu wokuthi leli zwe elidala lingahlala isikhathi esingakanani. Kepha akufanele yini sazi ukuthi ukuphela kuyofika nini? OFakazi abaningi, kubandakanya nami ezikhathini ezedlule, banikeze incazelo yokuthi asicabangi ukuthi sazi usuku nehora, kuphela ukuthi ukuphela kusondele kakhulu. Kepha ukuhlaziywa ngokucophelela kwemibhalo kukhombisa ukuthi asikwazi ukuzithethelela kalula kanjalo. Phawula lokho uJesu akusho ngaphambi nje kokwenyukela kwakhe ezulwini:

Lapho sebehlangene, bambuza bathi: “Nkosi, ingabe ubuyisela umbuso ku-Israyeli ngalesi sikhathi?” Wathi kubo: “Akukona kini ukwazi izikhathi noma izinkathi uBaba azibekele zona. amandla akho. (Izenzo 1: 6, 7)

Qaphela ukuthi akulona nje usuku oluqondile olungaphandle kwegunya lethu, ulwazi lwezikhathi nezinkathi akuyona eyethu. Ukuqagela konke, ukubala konke ukuthola ukuthi ukuphela kusondele kuyindlela yokuthola lokho esingagunyaziwe ukuba nakho. U-Eva wafela ukwenza lokho. U-Uza wafela lokho. U-Uziya washaywa uchoko ngokwenza lokho.

UWilliam Barclay, wakhe I-Daily Study Bible, bekufanele usho lokhu:

UMathewu 24: 36-41 ubheke ukuFikelwa kwesibili; futhi basitshela amaqiniso athile abaluleke kakhulu. (i) Basitshela ukuthi ihora lalowo mcimbi laziwa uNkulunkulu futhi uNkulunkulu yedwa. Kuyacaca-ke ukuthi ukuqagela maqondana nesikhathi sokuBuya kwesiBili akuyona into encane njengokuhlambalaza, ngoba umuntu ocabanga ngale ndlela ufuna ukuqeda izimfihlo zikaNkulunkulu okungezikaNkulunkulu kuphela. Akuwona umsebenzi womuntu ukuqagela; kungumsebenzi wakhe ukuzilungiselela, nokubuka. [Gcizelela imayini]

Ukuhlambalaza? Ingabe ngempela kubi kangako? Ukwenza isibonelo, ake sithi ushada futhi, ngenxa yezizathu zakho, ugcine usuku luyimfihlo. Usho okuningi kubangani bakho. Ngemuva kwalokho omunye umngane uza kuwe akucele ukuthi umtshele usuku. Cha, uyaphendula, ngikugcina kuyimfihlo kuze kube isikhathi esifanele. “Woza” kuphikelela umngane wakho, “ngitshele!” Ngokuphindaphindiwe uyaphikelela. Ungazizwa kanjani? Kungathatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthi ukungabi nanhliziyo kwakhe kusuke ekucasuleni kancane kuye ekucasuleni kakhulu, kuze kube yintukuthelo? Ngabe isenzo sakhe besingaba wukungahloniphi izifiso zakho kanye nelungelo lakho lokuveza usuku lapho ubona kufanele? Uma eqhubeka usuku nosuku nesonto nesonto, ingabe ubungane babuzosinda?

Kepha ake sithi ayigcinanga lapho. Manje uqala ukutshela abanye abantu ukuthi empeleni umtshelile - futhi nguye kuphela - usuku, nokuthi uma befuna ukungena edilini, nguye kuphela ogunyazwe nguwe ukuthengisa amathikithi. Isikhathi nesikhathi ubeka izinsuku, kuphela ukuthi zidlule ngaphandle komshado. Abantu bakuthukuthelela, bacabanga ukuthi ubambezela ngokungadingekile. Ulahlekelwa abangane ngenxa yalo. Kukhona ngisho nokuzibulala okuhlobene nokudumazeka. Kepha umngani wakho wakudala wenza impilo ehle ngayo.

Usazibuza ukuthi ngabe kubi kangako?

Kodwa linda umzuzwana, kuthiwani ngesibonakaliso esitholakala kuMathewu 24, kuMarko 13 nakuLuka 21? Ingabe uJesu akazange anikeze isibonakaliso ngokunembile ukuze sazi lapho ukuphela sekusondele? Lowo ngumbuzo ofanele. Ake sibone ukuthi ukulandisa kukaLuka kuqala kanjani:

Khona-ke bambuza, bethi: “Mfundisi, lezi zinto ziyokwenzeka nini empeleni, futhi siyini isibonakaliso lapho izinto lezi zenzeka?” Wathi: “Bheka ukuthi awudukiswa, ngoba abaningi bazokuza ngegama lami, bethi, 'Nginguye,' futhi, 'Isikhathi esifanele sesiseduze. '¹ Musa ukubalandela. (Luka 21: 7, 8)

Uma ucabanga ukuthi ukulandisa kukaLuka kuqala ngesexwayiso ngokulandela labo umyalezo wabo othi 'isikhathi siseduze', futhi ngasekupheleni kokulandisa kukaMathewu uJesu uthi akekho owaziyo usuku noma ihora, kubonakala kucace ukuthi isibonakaliso besingazukuqala. kube sobala amashumi eminyaka (noma ngisho nekhulu leminyaka) ngaphambi kokuphela.

Kuthiwani ngokuphuthuma? Ukucabanga ukuthi ukuphela kuseduze akusisizi yini ukuba sihlale siphapheme? Hhayi ngokusho kukaJesu:

Ngakho-ke, hlalani nilindile ngoba awazi INkosi yakho iza ngaluphi usuku. “Kepha yazi into eyodwa: Ukube umninindlu ubazi ukuthi isela liza ngawuphi iwashi, ngabe ubephapheme futhi akavumanga ukuba indlu yakhe igqekeziwe. Ngenxa yalokhu, nani hlalani nilungile, ngoba INdodana yomuntu iza ngehora eningacabangi ukuthi liyilo. (UMathewu 24: 42-44)

Qaphela ukuthi akasitsheli ukuthi “hlala ulindile” ngoba isibonakaliso sisivumela ukuthi sazi ukuthi ukuphela kuseduze, kodwa kunalokho, usitshela ukuthi sihlale silindile ngoba abazi. Futhi uma kuzofika ngesikhathi 'esingacabangi ukuthi siyiso', khona-ke thina angikwazi.  Ukuphela kungafika noma nini. Ukuphela kungenzeka kungafiki esikhathini sethu sokuphila. AmaKrestu aqotho abelinganisa leyo miqondo cishe iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili. Akulula, kepha kuyintando kaBaba wethu. (Mathewu 7:21)

UNkulunkulu akayena owokuhlekwa insini. Uma sizama kaninginingi futhi singaphenduki ukuzama "ukuhlwitha izimfihlakalo zikaNkulunkulu yedwa", noma okubi kakhulu, sikhwabanise ukuthi sesikwenzile lokho, sizovuna ini? Ngisho noma thina, ngokwethu, sigwema ukwenza lezo zimemezelo, ingabe sizobusiswa ngokulalela ngokuvumelana nalabo abagabadela bathi “isikhathi sesiseduze”? Ngaphambi kokuba kufike ithuba lethu lokuzwa amagama athi "wenzeni?", Kungani singaziniki isikhathi sokuzindla ngombuzo othi, "sizokwenzenjani?"
