10. Amanye amaJuda azizwa kanjani ngethempeli alakhayo, kodwa yini uJehova ayithembisayo?

¹⁰ Isigijimi sesibili (2:​1-⁠9). Kudlula isikhathi esingaphansi kwenyanga ngemva kokuba umsebenzi wokwakha uvuselelwe, futhi uHagayi unikeza isigijimi sakhe sesibili esiphefumlelwe. Lesi siqondiswe kuZerubabele, kuJoshuwa, nasensalini yabantu. Ngokusobala amanye amaJuda abuya ekuthunjweni futhi ayelibonile ithempeli likaSolomoni langaphambili aba nomuzwa wokuthi lelithempeli lalingayikusondela ngisho nokusondela kulo ngobuhle. Kodwa uthini uJehova-Sebawoti? ‘Qinani nisebenze, ngoba nginani.’ (2:⁠4) UJehova ubakhumbuza isivumelwano sakhe nabo, futhi ubatshela ukuthi bangesabi. Ubaqinisa ngesithembiso sokuthi uyozamazamisa bonke abezizwe futhi enze ukuba okunxanelekayo kwabo kufike nokuthi uyogcwalisa indlu yakhe ngenkazimulo. Inkazimulo yalendlu yokugcina iyoba nkulu kuneyokuqala, futhi kulendawo uyonikeza ukuthula.

16. Isiprofetho sikaHagayi sihlobene kanjani nethemba loMbuso, futhi kumelwe sisishukumisele kuyiphi inkonzo namuhla?

¹⁶ Kuthiwani ngesiprofetho sokuthi uJehova ‘uyozamazamisa izulu nomhlaba’? Umphostoli uPawulu ubonisa ukusebenza kukaHagayi 2:⁠6 ngalamazwi: “Kepha manje [uNkulunkulu] uthembisile wathi: Kusezakuba-kanye ngizamazamise kungabi-ngumhlaba wodwa, kepha nezulu futhi. Lokho kokuthi: Kusezakuba-kanye kutshengisa ukuguqulwa kwezinto ezinyakaziswayo, njengokuba zenziwe, ukuze lezo ezinganyakaziswayo zime. Ngakho-ke, lokhu samukeliswa umbuso ongenakunyakaziswa, masibonge ngesingamkhonza ngakho uNkulunkulu ngokumthokozisa, nangokumhlonipha, nangokuthuthumela, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wethu ungumlilo oqothulayo.” (Heb. 12:​26-29) UHagayi ubonisa ukuthi ukuzamazamisa kwenziwa ngenjongo ‘yokugumbuqela isihlalo sobukhosi semibuso, nokuchitha amandla emibuso yabezizwe.’ (Hag. 2:​21, 22) Ekucaphuneni lesiprofetho, ngokuphambene uPawulu ukhuluma ngoMbuso kaNkulunkulu “ongenakunyakaziswa.” Khona-ke, lapho sizindla ngalelithemba loMbuso, ‘masiqine sisebenze,’ sinikeze uNkulunkulu inkonzo engcwele. Futhi, masikhumbule ukuthi ngaphambi kokuba uJehova agumbuqele izizwe zomhlaba, kukhona okuthile okuyigugu okumelwe kunyakaziswe futhi kumelwe kuphume kuzo, ukuze kusinde: “Ngizamazamise nabo bonke abezizwe, kufike okunxanelekayo kwabo bonke abezizwe, ngiyigcwalise lendlu ngenkazimulo, usho uJehova-Sebawoti.”​—⁠2:​4, 7.
