Ɔkwan Koro Pɛ A Wobɛfa So Anya Ogye
“SƐ MUHU sɛ dɔm atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia a, ɛnde munhu sɛ ne bɔ abɛn. Ɛnna momma wɔn a wɔwɔ Yudea nguan nkɔ mmepɔw so.” (Luka 21:20, 21) Saa na Yesu kyerɛkyerɛɛ n’asuafo no. Na wɔn a wɔantie Kristo asɛm no nso ɛ? Ɔka too hɔ sɛ: “Wɔbɛtotɔ nkrante ano, na wɔafa wɔn nnommum akɔ amanaman nyinaa so. Na wiase amanaman betiatia Yerusalem so.”—Luka 21:24.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ katee wɔ ɔsom mu no ampɛ Yesu asɛm no. Sɛnea Abram L. Sachar nhoma a wɔfrɛ no A History of the Jews kyerɛ no, na wɔn a wɔyɛ katee no “yɛ nnipa wɔyɛ ade ma ɛtra so a wɔyɛɛ biribiara a wobetumi sɛ wɔde bɛbrɛ wɔn wuranom a wɔyɛ abosonsomfo no ase.” Na guan a wobeguan ho adwene no nyɛ te sɛ nea ɛmfata nko, na mmom nea enye koraa no, ɛbɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔyɛ ahufo! Enti wɔ afe 66 Y.B. mu no, Romafo atirimɔdensɛm no kanyan saa Yudafo yi ma wofii atuatew ase. Bere a Yudafo atuatewfo no ko faa Masada akyi no, Roma yɛɛ ntɛm sɛ ɛbɛko afa Yerusalem. Afei na ‘asraafo atwa Yerusalem ho hyia.’ Nanso bere a Roma amrado a wɔfrɛ no Cestius Gallus yii n’asraafo fii hɔ mpofirim no, hokwan no bue maa wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem no sɛ wobedi Yesu afotu no akyi na wɔaguan. Afeha a ɛto so abiɛsa abakɔsɛm kyerɛwfo a wɔfrɛ no Eusebius ka sɛ: “Nanso, esiane sɛ na wɔnam ɔsoro adiyi so ahyɛ asɔre no mufo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa nti . . . wofii kurow no mu, na wɔkɔtraa kurow bi a ɛwɔ Yordan akyi a wɔfrɛ no Pella mu.” Na wɔn a wɔkae no nso ɛ?
Bere a afe 70 Y.B. dui no, Romafo no san bae a wɔhyɛ ɔsahene Titus ase. Esiane sɛ na wɔawe ahinam so sɛ wobedi nkonim nti, wotwaa kurow no ho hyiae. Flavius Josephus a na anka kan ɔyɛ Yudani otuatewfo a na afei ɔresom Romafo no, twaa Yerusalem afasu no ho hyiae na ɔsrɛɛ ne nkurɔfo no sɛ wonnyae ɔko a mfaso nni so no. Ɔteɛɛm sɛ, “Munhu sɛ ɛnyɛ sɛ moreko atia Romafo no nkutoo na mmom Onyankopɔn nso.” Nea efii mu bae? N’ankasa asɛm a ɔkae ne sɛ: “Nanso, ɛwom sɛ Josephus de nusu teɛɛm srɛɛ wɔn de, nanso atuatewfo no ampene so, saa ara nso na wɔammu no sɛ eye sɛ wɔbɛsakra wɔn kwan no.” Esiane eyi nti, wɔde ɔkɔm ne afoa kunkum mpem ɔhaha pii na wɔsoaa mpem dudu pii kɔyɛɛ nkoa! Nanso bere a hwee anyɛ wɔn wɔ Pella no, na Kristofo no betumi asusuw nhyira horow a ɛwɔ tie a wotiee Kristo kɔkɔbɔ no so no ho.
Ogye Nnɛ
Nea esii wɔ Yerusalem no yɛ nea ɛbɛba wɔ Wiase nyinaa wɔ yɛn bere yi mu ho nhwɛso ketewaa bi ara kwa. Nanso nea ɛho aba asɛm mprempren no nyɛ kurow bi na mmom wiase nneɛma nhyehyɛe no nyinaa!—Mateo 24:21.
Ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn ankasa na ɔde wiase nyinaa ɔsɛe yi bɛba. Nanso, dɛn ntia? Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ‘ɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔasɛe asase no.’ (Adiyisɛm 11:18) Onyankopɔn a “ɔnwenee asase na ɔyɛe no . . wammɔ no hunu,” na ɔremma onipa nsɛe no denam fi anaa nuklea ɔsɛe a ɔde bɛba so. (Yesaia 45:18) Nanso ebehia sɛ ɔde Ne ho gye asɛm no mu na ɔde asiw ɔsɛe a onipa de bɛba a wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so agye wɔn ho suro no ano. Nanso Yesu kae sɛ, ‘yebetumi aguan afi nneɛma a ɛrebɛba yi nyinaa mu.’—Luka 21:36.
Esiane sɛ Yesu akyidifo a wɔwɔ hɔ nnɛ no wɔ asase so baabiara nti, ɛrentumi nyɛ yiye sɛ wobeguan akɔ beae pɔtee bi sɛnea Kristofo a na wɔwɔ afeha a edi kan no mu yɛe no. Ɛnnɛ, gye a wobegye obi no gyina tie a obetie Bible mu afotu a ɛwɔ Sefania 2:2, 3 no so: “Mommma [Yehowa] abufuw mu gya no mma mo so ansa, mommma [Yehowa] abufuw da no mmma mo so ansa. Monhwehwɛ [Yehowa], asase sofo a mobrɛ mo ho ase na moyɛ n’atemmude nyinaa! Monhwehwɛ trenee, monhwehwɛ ahobrɛase; ebia wɔbɛkora mo so, [Yehowa] abufuw da no.” Na Bible no kɔ so ka sɛ: “Na obiara a ɔbɛbɔ [Yehowa] din no, wobegye no nkwa.”—Yoel 2:32.
Ɛyɛ nokware sɛ, Bible nkyerɛase ahorow bi mma ntease a ɛwɔ kyerɛwsɛm yi mu no nna adi denam kyerɛ a ɛkyerɛ ase sɛ: “Obiara a ɔbɛbɔ AWURADE din no, wobegye no nkwa” no so. (Authorized Version) Nanso mfitiase kasa a wɔde kyerɛw kyerɛwsɛm yi kyerɛ sɛ pii ho hia sen guan a wobeguan atoa “AWURADE” bi a onni din ara kwa. Wɔ Bible pii mu no, kyerɛwsɛm te sɛ Dwom 83:18, kyerɛ pefee sɛ saa “AWURADE” no din ankasa ne YEHOWA. (AV; American Standard Version) Bɔ a wɔbɛbɔ ne din kyerɛ pii sen di a wɔde di dwuma wɔ guasodeyɔ mu ara kwa. Ɛsɛ sɛ obi “hwehwɛ” Yehowa denam sua a obesua Bible no so na ohu no sɛ onipa. (Yohane 17:3) Saa nimdeɛ yi ka obi a ɔyɛ koma pafo ma ɔkyerɛ obu ma tumi a Yehowa wɔ sɛ Amansan Hene, na odi ne gyinapɛn ahorow so na osuasua Yesu wɔ ‘Onyankopɔn din a woyi no adi kyerɛ’ mu.—Yohane 17:6.
Enti kɔ a obi kɔ asɔre a ɔpɛ ara kwa no nyɛ ɔkwan a ɔbɛfa so anya ogye. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na aba saa, bere a ɛnyɛ sɛ asɔre ahorow no mmfa Onyankopɔn din ankasa no nni dwuma nko, na mmom wɔntaa nhyɛ di a wɔde bedi dwuma no ho nkuran na wommu Onyankopɔn ahyɛde horow titiriw biara mpo no? Kae sɛ odiyifo Malaki ka sɛ, Onyankopɔn wɔ “nkae nhoma” ma wɔn a “wosuro Yehowa na wosusuw ne din ho no.” (Malaki 3:16, NW) Wɔ nyamesom akuw horow a wɔka sɛ wɔyɛ Kristofo no mu no, nea ɛwɔ he na ɛde Onyankopɔn din a ɛne Yehowa no di dwuma, na emufo de wɔn ho nyinaa to ɔno ne ne bɔhyɛ ahorow so, na wɔde akokoduru hyɛ emufo nkuran sɛ wɔnyɛ n’adansefo? (Yesaia 43:10) Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ eyinom ne wɔn a ‘wɔhwehwɛ Yehowa’ no. Wɔhyɛ afoforo nkuran sɛ wɔmmɛka wɔn ho wɔ sua a wɔresua nokware kwan koro pɛ a wɔbɛfa so anya ogye wɔ ɔsɛe a ɛreba wiase no nyinaa so mu no ho ade.
