    • Izizwe Ziyaxokozela

       4. Ungawafingqa kanjani amaphuzu ayinhloko eHubo 2:1, 2?

      4 Ebhekisela ezenzweni zezizwe nababusi bazo, umhubi uqala ingoma yakhe ngokuhlabelela: “Kungani izizwe ziye zaxokozela namaqembu ezizwe eye alokhu evungazela into eyize? Amakhosi omhlaba ayama nezikhulu eziphakeme zibuthene ndawonye ngobunye ngokumelene noJehova nogcotshiweyo wakhe.”—IHubo 2:1, 2.a

       5, 6. Iyiphi “into eyize” izizwe eziye ‘zalokhu ziyivungazela’?

      5 Iyiphi “into eyize” izizwe zanamuhla eziye ‘zalokhu ziyivungazela’? Kunokuba zamukele oGcotshiweyo kaNkulunkulu—uMesiya, noma uKristu—izizwe ziye ‘zalokhu zivungazela,’ noma zizindla, ngokuthuthukisa elazo igunya. La mazwi ehubo lesibili ásebenza nasekhulwini lokuqala C.E. lapho iziphathimandla zamaJuda namaRoma zibambisana ekubulaleni iNkosi kaNkulunkulu eyayisazobekwa, uJesu Kristu. Nokho, ukugcwaliseka okuyinhloko kwaqala ngo-1914 lapho uJesu ebekwa njengeNkosi yasezulwini. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, akukho nelilodwa iqembu lezombusazwe emhlabeni eliye lamukela iNkosi kaNkulunkulu ebekiwe.

      6 Kwakushiwo ukuthini lapho umhubi ebuza ukuthi ‘kungani izizwe zivungazela into eyize’? Yinjongo yazo eyize; iwudwadwa oluzobhuntsha nakanjani. Ngeke zikwazi ukuletha ukuthula noxolo kulo mhlaba. Kodwa ziyaqhubeka nezenzo zazo zize ziphikise ukubusa kukaNkulunkulu imbala. Empeleni, ngobunye ziye zaviva, zabuthana zimelana noPhezukonke noGcotshiweyo wakhe. Yeka ubuwula!

      INkosi KaJehova Enqobayo

       7. Lapho bethandaza, abalandeli bakaJesu bokuqala balisebenzisa kanjani iHubo 2:1, 2?

      7 Abalandeli bakaJesu báwasebenzisa kuye amazwi eHubo 2:1, 2. Lapho beshushiselwa ukholo lwabo, bathandaza: “Nkosi Engumbusi [Jehova], nguWe owenza izulu nomhlaba nolwandle nazo zonke izinto ezikukho, nguwe futhi ngomoya ongcwele owasho ngomlomo kakhokho wethu uDavide, inceku yakho, wathi, ‘Kungani izizwe zixokozela nabantu bezindla ngezinto eziyize na? Amakhosi omhlaba ema nababusi babuthana ngobunye bemelene noJehova nogcotshiwe wakhe.’ Noma kunjalo, bobabili uHerode [Antipase] noPontiyu Pilatu kanye nabantu bezizwe nabantu bakwa-Israyeli babuthana ngokoqobo kulo muzi bemelene nenceku yakho engcwele uJesu, owayigcoba.” (IzEnzo 4:24-27; Luka 23:1-12)b Yebo, ekhulwini lokuqala inceku kaNkulunkulu egcotshiwe, uJesu, yakhelwa uzungu. Nokho, leli hubo lalizogcwaliseka nangenye indlela ngemva kwamakhulu eminyaka.

       8. IHubo 2:3 lisebenza kanjani ezizweni zanamuhla?

      8 Lapho u-Israyeli wasendulo ebuswa inkosi engumuntu, njengoDavide, izizwe nababusi bamaqaba babebuthana bamelane noNkulunkulu nogcotshiweyo wakhe owayesesihlalweni sobukhosi. Kodwa kuthiwani ngesikhathi sethu? Izizwe zanamuhla azifuni ukuzivumelanisa nezimfuneko zikaJehova noMesiya.
