16, 17. UJehova wayenza kanjani inkazimulo yakhe yakhanya phezu kwenhlangano yakhe enjengomfazi ngo-1914, futhi yimuphi umyalo ayinikeza wona?

¹⁶ Ngolimi olushukumisa inhliziyo, imiBhalo ichaza indlela ukukhanya kwaphezulu okusakazwa ngayo kubantu kuyo yonke indawo. UIsaya 60:1-3, obhekiswe ‘kumfazi,’ (NW) kaJehova, noma inhlangano yakhe yasezulwini yezinceku ezithembekile, uthi: “Vuka ukhanye, ngokuba ukukhanya kwakho kuyeza; inkazimulo kaJehova iphumela phezu kwakho. Ngokuba bheka, ubumnyama buyasibekela umhlaba, nesigayegaye abantu; kepha uJehova uyaphuma phezu kwakho, nenkazimulo yakhe iyakubonakala phezu kwakho. Izizwe ziyakuhamba ekukhanyeni kwakho, namakhosi ekukhazimuleni kokuphuma kwakho.”

²⁰ Kodwa kungenxa yayiphi injongo uJehova eye wasebenzelana nabo ngalendlela? Njengoba yena ngokwakhe asho kuIsaya 60:21, ukwenzela ukuba ‘adunyiswe,’ ukuze igama lakhe lihlonishwe futhi abanye badonseleke kuye njengowukuphela kukaNkulunkulu weqiniso—futhi lokho kuphumele ezinzuzweni zaphakade kubona. Ngokuvumelana nalokhu, ngo-1931 labakhulekeli bakaNkulunkulu weqiniso bamukela igama elithi oFakazi BakaJehova. Ngenxa yokufakaza kwabo, ingabe “amakhosi” adonseleka ekukhanyeni ababekubonisa, njengoba uIsaya abikezela? Yebo! Hhayi abaholi bezwe bezombangazwe, kodwa inani elalisasele lalabo abasohlwini lokubusa njengamakhosi noKristu eMbusweni wakhe wasezulwini. (IsAmbulo 1:5, 6; 21:24) Futhi kuthiwani ‘ngezizwe’? Ingabe kuye kwazikhanga lokhu kukhanya? Ngokuqinisekile kunjalo! Asikho isizwe esisodwa sezombangazwe esiye sakhangeka, kodwa isixuku esikhulu sabantu abaphuma kuzo zonke izizwe siye sathatha ukuma kwaso ngasohlangothini loMbuso kaNkulunkulu, futhi silindele ngentshiseko ukukhululelwa ezweni elisha likaNkulunkulu. Kuyoba yizwe elisha ngempela okuyogcwala kulo ukulunga.—2 Petru 3:13; IsAmbulo 7:9, 10.
