Kulamadoda avela eMpumalanga abona inkanyezi ethile. Amadoda la ayizazi zezinkanyezi njalo athi ukuhlola kwawo izinkanyezi kwenza akwazi okuzakwenzakala empilweni zabantu. (U-Isaya 47:13) Amadoda la athe eseMpumalanga abona inkanyezi njalo ayilandela okomango omude aze afika eJerusalema.

Esefikile ayabuza athi: “Ungaphi lowo ozelweyo oyinkosi yamaJuda? Sibone inkanyezi yakhe siseMpumalanga, yikho size lapha ukuze sizomkhothamela.”​—UMathewu 2:1, 2.

Ubona angani ngubani owasebenzisa inkanyezi ukuthi ikhokhele izazi zezinkanyezi? Khumbula ukuthi kayizange iqale izikhokhele izise eBhethilehema lapho okwakuloJesu. Kodwa yazikhokhela yazifikisa eJerusalema zabonana leNkosi uHerodi eyayifuna ukubulala uJesu. Icebo likaHerodi lokubulala uJesu lalizaphumelela aluba uJehova kazange axwayise izazi ukuthi zingabuyeli kuHerodi. Yikho-ke, kuyakhanya ukuthi nguSathane isitha sikaNkulunkulu owasebenzisa inkanyezi efuna ukubulalisa uJesu.
