Nsemmisa A Efi Akenkanfo Hɔ
◼ Abɔfo yɛ honhom, a wonni ɔhonam nipadua, enti dɛn nti na moyɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ ntaban wɔ mo mfonini ahorow mu? So eyi yɛ ɔsom mu atetesɛm ara kwa anaa?
Yɛtaa yɛ abɔfo mfonini a wɔwɔ ntaban esiane sɛnea wɔaka wɔn ho asɛm sɛnkyerɛnne kwan so wɔ Bible no mu nti.
Nea wokae no yɛ ampa sɛ honhom abɔde nni honam nipadua a ɛwɔ ntaban ankasa—wonni anim, nsa, anan, anaa nipadua akwaa horow. Nanso, mmere bi a abɔfo yii wɔn ho adi kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn nkoa no, na wɔte sɛ nnipa, efisɛ wɔyɛɛ mfomso susuw sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa.—Genesis 18:2, 22; 19:1; Atemmufo 6:11-22.
Nanso, mmere bi no, nnipa nyaa abɔfo ho anisoadehu na wɔkyerɛɛ sɛnea wɔte. Odiyifo Hesekiel huu “ateasefo baanan,” na ɔkyerɛɛ sɛ eyinom yɛ abɔfo a wɔfrɛ wɔn kerubim wɔ anisoadehu bi a onyae akyiri yi mu. (Hesekiel 1:5; 9:3; 10:3) Na abɔfo yi mu biara wɔ ntaban anan, a ɛkyerɛɛ sɛnea wotumi de ahoɔhare di Onyankopɔn ahyɛde ho dwuma wɔ baabiara. “Wɔnnannan wɔn ho wɔn nantew mu, wɔn nyinaa kɔ wɔn anim tẽẽ . . . Nea honhom no rekɔ hɔ na wɔkɔ, wɔn nantew mu wɔnnannan wɔn ho.”—Hesekiel 1: 6, 9, 12.
Nanso abɔfo a wohuu wɔn wɔ anisoadehu mu no nyinaa nsɛ bere nyinaa. Na abɔde a wɔyɛ abɔfo a wɔfrɛ wɔn serafim a Yesaia huu wɔn no wɔ ntaban asia. (Yesaia 6:1, 2) Na nsonsonoe ahorow mpo wɔ Hesekiel anisoadehu ahorow no mu. Nea edi kan no mu no, na abɔfo no wɔ anan, nsa wɔ ntaban anan no mu biara ase, ne anim anan (te sɛ onipa, gyata, nantwi, ne ɔkɔre anim). Wɔ n’anisoadehu a edi hɔ no mu no, na anim no mu biako te sɛ kerubim de mmom, ɛnyɛ nantwi, na ebia na ɛkyerɛ tumi kɛse a na kerubim no wɔ. Wɔ anisoadehu foforo bi a ohuu akyiri yi a ɛfa sɛnkyerɛnne kwan so asɔrefi bi mu asiesie ho no, Hesekiel huu kerubim a wɔwɔ anim abien, onipa de biako ne gyata de biako. (Hesekiel 1:5-11; 10:7-17; 41:18, 19) Wɔ ahyiae ntamadan no ne asɔrefi a Salomo sii wɔ Yerusalem no nyinaa Kronkron mu Kronkron mu no, na kerubim a wɔwɔ ntaban abien wɔ hɔ. Na eyinom wɔ nea wɔfrɛ no apam adaka no sika nkataso no so. Na sika kerubim abien no di nhwɛanim, na na abien no nyinaa wɔ ntaban a wɔatrɛw mu akata Apam Adaka no so. (Exodus 25:10-22; 37:6-9) Na kerubim akɛse abien a wɔde sika afa wɔn ho na wɔn mu biara wɔ ntaban abien a wɔatrɛw mu gyina Apam Adaka no (ne ne nkataso) no so wɔ Salomo asɔrefi hɔ.—1 Ahene 8:6-8; 1 Beresosɛm 28:18; 2 Beresosɛm 5:7, 8.
Josephus kyerɛwee sɛ: “[Saa] kerubim no ankasa de, obiara rentumi nka anaa ɔnyɛ sɛnea na wɔte no ho mfonini wɔ n’adwenem.” Enti, nhomanimfo ne mfoniniyɛfo binom hwɛ nea wɔfrɛ no tete Apuei Fam a Ɛbɛn anyame a wɔayɛ wɔn sɛ mmoa a wɔwɔ ntaban no nsusuwso so na wɔyɛ abɔfo (titiriw kerubim) mfonini ahorow. Nanso akwankyerɛ a yebetumi de yɛn ho ato so yiye no ne Hesekiel asɛm a ɔkae sɛ wɔn a ohuu wɔn no “wɔ onipa suban.” (Hesekiel 1:5) Enti sɛ yɛyɛ ɔsoro abɔfo ho mfonini wɔ yɛn nhoma ahorow mu a, yɛyɛ wɔn sɛ nnipa. Yɛyɛ wɔn a wɔwɔ ntaban esiane Bible nkyerɛkyerɛ bebree a ɛka abɔfo ho asɛm sɛ wɔwɔ ntaban no ne sɛnea wɔka abɔfo ho asɛm sɛ “wotu” nti.—Adiyisɛm 14:6; Dwom 18:10.
Nea etwa to no, Revelation—Its Grand Climax At Hand! no kratafa 288 yɛ ɔsoro abɔde bi a ɔwɔ ntaban, ɔbɔ ahemmotiri na okura safe bi ho mfonini. Eyi yɛ Adiyisɛm 20:1 ho mfonini pefee: “Na mihuu ɔbɔfo bi a ofi soro resian a okura ebun no ano safe ne nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn kɛse bi.” Yenim sɛ ɔbɔfo a okura safe yi ne Yesu Kristo a wɔahyɛ no anuonyam no. Mfonini no da no adi sɛ ɔwɔ ntaban esiane nokwasɛm a ɛne sɛ na abɔfo a wohu wɔn wɔ anisoadehu mu no wɔ ntaban no nti.
