Mlingo wa Mphulupulu Woyenera Kukwanira

Pophunzira zochita za Mulungu ndi anthu akale, timaona kuti iye ankayembekezera kaye asanawononge kufikira chiyembekezo chonse chakuti anthuwo adzawongokera chitatheratu. Mwachitsanzo, za chiweruzo chake pa Akanani, Mulungu anauziratu Abrahamu za machimo awo kukali zaka zambiri. Koma nthaŵi yopereka chiweruzo chake inali isanakwane. Sinakwane bwanji? Baibulo limati: “Pakuti mphulupulu za Aamori [Akanani] sizinakwaniridwe,” kapenanso malinga ndi mmene Baibulo la Knox limanenera: “Kuipa kwa Aamori [kunali] kusanafike pachimake.”​—Genesis 15:16.a

Komabe, patapita zaka ngati 400 Mulungu anapereka chiweruzo, ndipo Aisrayeli, mbadwa za Abrahamu, analanda dzikolo. Akanani angapo, monga Rahabu ndi Agibiyoni, anapulumuka chifukwa cha mtima wawo ndi ntchito zawo, koma ochuluka anali atafika ponyansitsa malinga ndi zimene zapezedwa ndi okumba m’mabwinja nthaŵi zino. Iwo ankalambira mphamvu ya kubala, ankachita uhule wapakachisi, ndi kupereka ana nsembe. Halley’s Bible Handbook imati: “Ofukula m’mabwinja amene amakumba mabwinja a mizinda ya Kanani amadabwa chifukwa chake Mulungu sanawawononge mwamsanga koposa ndi mmene anachitira.” Pomaliza pake, ‘mlingo wa machimo a Akanani unadzaza’; kuipa kwawo ‘kunafika pachimake.’ Palibe amene akanaimba Mulungu mlandu wa kusalungama pamene analola dziko kuyeretsedwa kwinaku kupulumutsa aja amene anali ndi mtima wabwino.
