Lokhu kuthi akufane nosomabhizinisi otshela unobhala wakhe ukuba abhale incwadi, bese emtshela ukuthi yini okufanele ayibhale.

UJehova wadala izingelosi kusasele isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba adale umhlaba. Zadalelwa ukuba ziphile ezulwini. Kunezingelosi ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyikhulu. (Daniyeli 7:10) Zinamagama nobuntu obungafani, futhi izingelosi eziqotho zithobekile, ziyenqaba ukukhonzwa abantu. Zinezikhundla ezingafani futhi zabelwe imisebenzi ehlukahlukene.

IBhayibheli laprofetha, noma labikezela, isikhathi uMesiya ayeyovela ngaso. Kwakuyoba sekupheleni kwenkathi ebizwa ngokuthi amasonto angu-69, eyaqala ngonyaka ka-455 B.C.E. yaphela ngonyaka ka-29 C.E.

Sazi kanjani ukuthi yaphela ngo-29 C.E.? La masonto angu-69 aqala ngonyaka ka-455 B.C.E. lapho uNehemiya efika eJerusalema futhi eqala ukwakha kabusha lo muzi. (Daniyeli 9:25; Nehemiya 2:1, 5-8) Njengoba nje igama elithi “idazini” lenza sicabange ngo-12, nelithi “isonto” lisikhumbuza u-7. Amasonto kulesi siprofetho, akuwona amasonto ezinsuku eziyisikhombisa kodwa amasonto ayiminyaka eyisikhombisa, ngokuvumelana nomthetho wesiprofetho othi ‘usuku lumelela unyaka.’ (Numeri 14:34; Hezekeli 4:6) Lokhu kusho ukuthi isonto ngalinye liyiminyaka eyisikhombisa, okwenza amasonto angu-69 abe iminyaka engu-483 esewonke (69 x 7). Uma sibala iminyaka engu-483 kusukela ku-455 B.C.E., lokho kusiletha onyakeni ka-29 C.E (awukho unyaka ongu-0). Lowo yiwo kanye unyaka uJesu abhapathizwa ngawo waba nguMesiya!—Luka 3:1, 2, 21, 22.

IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu unguMdali futhi wadala uJesu ngaphambi kwazo zonke ezinye izinto. (Kolose 1:15, 16) UJesu akayena uNkulunkulu uMninimandla Onke. Akakaze athi ulingana noNkulunkulu. Empeleni, wathi: “UBaba mkhulu kunami.” (Johane 14:28; 1 Korinte 15:28) Kodwa amanye amasonto afundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu mthathu emunye: uBaba, iNdodana nomoya ongcwele. Igama elithi “Ziqu-zintathu” alikho eBhayibhelini. Lena imfundiso engamanga.

Umoya ongcwele amandla kaNkulunkulu angabonakali awasebenzisela ukufeza intando yakhe. Awuwona umuntu. Ngokwesibonelo, amaKristu okuqala “agcwala umoya ongcwele,” futhi uJehova wathi: “Ngiyothululela omunye womoya wami phezu kwayo yonke inyama.”—IzEnzo 2:1-4, 17.

AmaKristu eqiniso awasisebenzisi isiphambano lapho ekhonza uNkulunkulu. Kungani engasisebenzisi?

1.  Sekuyisikhathi eside isiphambano sisetshenziswa enkolweni yamanga. Endulo, sasisetshenziswa ekukhonzeni imvelo nasemikhosini yocansi eyayenziwa abantu abangamkhonzi uNkulunkulu. Eminyakeni engu-300 ngemva nje kokufa kukaJesu, amaKristu ayengasisebenzisi isiphambano lapho ekhonza. Eminyakeni eminingi kamuva, umbusi waseRoma uConstantine wenza ukuba isiphambano sibe uphawu lobuKristu. Lolu phawu lwasetshenziselwa ukuzama ukwenza ubuKristu buthandeke kakhudlwana. Kodwa isiphambano sasingahlangene ngalutho noJesu Kristu. I-New Catholic Encyclopedia iyachaza: “Isiphambano sitholakala kokubili kubantu bangaphambi kobuKristu nakulabo abangewona amaKristu.”

2.  UJesu akafelanga esiphambanweni. Amagama esiGreki ahunyushwe ngokuthi “isiphambano” amane asho “isigxobo,” “ugodo,” noma “isihlahla.” I-Companion Bible iyachaza: “Akukho lutho esiGrekini [seTestamente Elisha] olukhuluma ngezingodo ezimbili.” UJesu wafela esigxotsheni.

3.  UJehova akafuni sisebenzise izithombe noma izimpawu ezithile lapho simkhonza.—Eksodusi 20:4, 5; 1 Korinte 10:14.

UJesu wayala abalandeli bakhe ukuba bagcine iSikhumbuzo sokufa kwakhe. Lokhu bakwenza njalo ngonyaka, ngomhla ka-14 wenyanga kaNisani, okuwusuku ama-Israyeli ayegubha ngalo iPhasika. ESikhumbuzweni, wonke umuntu udluliselwa isinkwa newayini, okumelela umzimba negazi likaJesu. Labo abayobusa noJesu ezulwini bayasidla lesi sinkwa baphuze newayini.

Kuyi-Nguqulo Yezwe Elisha yesiZulu, igama elithi “umphefumulo” lisetshenziselwa ukuchaza (1) umuntu, (2) isilwane, noma (3) ukuphila komuntu noma kwesilwane. Nazi ezinye izibonelo:

• Umuntu. “Ezinsukwini zikaNowa . . . abantu abambalwa, okungukuthi, imiphefumulo eyisishiyagalombili, bathwalwa ngokuphepha emanzini.” (1 Petru 3:20) Lapha igama elithi “imiphefumulo” libhekisela kubantu—uNowa nomkakhe, amadodana abo amathathu namakhosikazi awo.

• Isilwane. “UNkulunkulu wathi: ‘Amanzi mawaswebezele uswebezane lwemiphefumulo ephilayo, kundize izidalwa ezindizayo phezu komhlaba ebusweni bomkhathi wamazulu.’ UNkulunkulu wathi: ‘Umhlaba mawuveze imiphefumulo ephilayo ngezinhlobo zayo, izilwane ezifuywayo nezilwane ezihambayo nezilo zasendle zomhlaba ngezinhlobo zazo.’ Kwaba njalo.”—Genesise 1:20, 24.

• Ukuphila komuntu noma kwesilwane. UJehova wathi kuMose: “Bonke abantu abebezingela umphefumulo wakho bafile.” (Eksodusi 4:19) Lapho uJesu esemhlabeni, wathi: “Mina ngingumalusi omuhle; umalusi omuhle unikela umphefumulo wakhe ngenxa yezimvu.”—Johane 10:11.

  Ngaphezu kwalokho, lapho umuntu enza okuthile “ngawo wonke umphefumulo” wakhe, kusho ukuthi ukwenza ngokuzithandela nangawo wonke amandla akhe. (Mathewu 22:37; Duteronomi 6:5) Igama elithi “umphefumulo” lingabuye lisetshenziselwe ukuchaza isifiso sesidalwa esiphilayo. Kungashiwo ukuthi umuntu ofile noma isidumbu kungumphefumulo ofile.—Numeri 6:6; IzAga 23:2; Isaya 56:11; Hagayi 2:13.

Nokho ahlale ebhekisela entweni ethile engabonakali kubantu, njengomoya ovunguzayo noma ophefumulwa abantu nezilwane. La magama angabuye abhekisele ezidalweni ezihlala ezulwini nasemoyeni ongcwele, ongamandla uNkulunkulu awasebenzisayo. IBhayibheli alifundisi ukuthi kunento ethile kumuntu eqhubeka iphila lapho efa.—Eksodusi 35:21; IHubo 104:29; Mathewu 12:43; Luka 11:13.

Ngakho, iGehena aliyona indawo engabonakali abantu abafile abahlushwa noma bashiswe kuyo phakade.

• “Malingcweliswe igama lakho”

• “Umbuso wakho mawuze”

• “Intando yakho mayenzeke . . . nasemhlabeni”

  Sithandazela ukuba lokho uNkulunkulu ayekuhlosile ngesikhathi edala umhlaba nabantu kufezeke ukuze abantu abalalelayo baphile phakade ePharadesi bengenaso isono, okuyinto uJehova ayeyihlosile lapho edala abantu.

Isiprofetho esisencwadini kaDaniyeli isahluko 4, sisifundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayeyomisa uMbuso wakhe ngo-1914.

Isiprofetho: UJehova wenza ukuba iNkosi uNebukhadinezari iphuphe isiprofetho esasimayelana nokunqunywa kwesihlahla esikhulu. Kulelo phupho, isihlahla saboshwa ngebhande lensimbi nethusi ukuze singakhuli kuze kuphele “izikhathi eziyisikhombisa.” Ngemva kwaleso sikhathi, isihlahla sasiyophinde sikhule.—Daniyeli 4:1, 10-16.

Sisho ukuthini kithi lesi siprofetho: Isihlahla simelela ukubusa kukaNkulunkulu. Kwaphela iminyaka eminingi uJehova esebenzisa amakhosi eJerusalema, ukuze abuse isizwe sakwa-Israyeli. (1 IziKronike 29:23) Lawo makhosi awazange athembeke, ngakho ukubusa kwawo kwaphela. IJerusalema labhujiswa ngonyaka ka-607 B.C.E. Zaqala ngaleso sikhathi “izikhathi eziyisikhombisa.” (2 AmaKhosi 25:1, 8-10; Hezekeli 21:25-27) Lapho uJesu ethi, “IJerusalema liyonyathelwa phansi yizizwe, kuze kugcwaliseke izikhathi ezimisiwe zezizwe,” wayekhuluma ‘ngezikhathi eziyisikhombisa.’ (Luka 21:24) Ngakho, “izikhathi eziyisikhombisa” aziphelanga ngesikhathi uJesu esemhlabeni. UJehova wathembisa ukuthi wayeyomisa iNkosi, ekupheleni ‘kwezikhathi eziyisikhombisa.’ Ukubusa kwale Nkosi entsha, uJesu, kwakuyolethela abantu bakaNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke izibusiso ezihlala phakade.—Luka 1:30-33.

Ubude ‘bezikhathi eziyisikhombisa’: “Izikhathi eziyisikhombisa” zaba iminyaka engu-2 520. Uma sibala iminyaka engu-2 520 sisuka onyakeni ka-607 B.C.E., sifika onyakeni ka-1914 (awukho unyaka ongu-0). Yilowo nyaka uJehova abeka ngawo uJesu, uMesiya, waba iNkosi yoMbuso kaNkulunkulu ezulwini.

Siwuthola kanjani u-2 520? IBhayibheli lithi izikhathi ezintathu nohhafu, zilingana nezinsuku ezingu-1 260. (IsAmbulo 12:6, 14) Ngakho, ukuze sithole “izikhathi eziyisikhombisa,” kumelwe siphinde kabili izinsuku ezingu-1 260, okusinika izinsuku ezingu-2 520. Izinsuku ezingu-2 520 zilingana neminyaka engu-2 520, ngenxa yendlela yokubala engokwesiprofetho lapho “usuku lumelele unyaka.”—Numeri 14:34; Hezekeli 4:6.

(Mathewu 24:3, 27, 37) ‘Izinsuku zokugcina’ zaqala lapho uMbuso kaNkulunkulu uqala ukubusa ezulwini ngo-1914, futhi ziyophela lapho izwe likaSathane libhujiswa ngempi i-Armagedoni.—2 Thimothewu 3:1; 2 Petru 3:3.

(IzEnzo 24:15) IBhayibheli liphinde lithi kukhona abayovuswa ukuze baphile ezulwini. Lokho kwenzeka lapho labo abakhethiwe, noma abagcotshwe uNkulunkulu, bevuswa ukuze baphile ezulwini noJesu.—Johane 5:28, 29; 11:25; Filipi 3:11; IsAmbulo 20:5, 6.
