KuNum. 22, sihlangana nomuntu obonakala ngendlela eyinkimbinkimbi futhi igama lakhe kwakunguBalami, umMowabi. Wakwazi ukukhuluma noNkulunkulu futhi uNkulunkulu wamphendula. Abanye bethu emhlabeni banethuba elifanayo; umbuzo uthi siyiphatha kanjani. Abanye bethu bayathanda ukwenza intando yethu, kepha bathi sifisa ukulandela ukuholwa nguNkulunkulu. Lokhu kwaba njalo ngoBhalami.

U-Israyeli lapho eya ezweni Lesithembiso kwaba ukwesaba ezizweni. Esinye salezo zizwe kwakunguMowabi; okwakuyinzalo kaLoti nendodakazi yakhe, emva kokubhujiswa kweSodoma neGomora. UBalaki wayeyinkosi yakwaMowabi futhi ukwesaba u-Israyeli kwamnqoba. Kwesinye isikhathi senza njengoBalaki, sivumela ukwesaba kusihlule. Ngemuva kwalokho siqala ukufuna usizo kuyo yonke imithombo engajwayelekile; enza zonke izinhlobo zokuyekethisa kepha ngokuvamile ngentando kaNkulunkulu. UBalaki wathumela ukuba kubizwe umprofethi obizwa ngokuthi uBhalami. Imininingwane yakhe uBalaki yayixubene nezifiso zakhe. Wayefuna ukuthi uBhalami aqalekise u-Israyeli, abantu uNkulunkulu ayesebabusisile. Wayefuna ukunqoba futhi ashaye abantu bakaNkulunkulu; ubaxoshe ezweni. UBalaki wayenesiqiniseko sokuthi lowo uBhalami ambusisayo noma wamqalekisa kumele kwenzeke. UBalaki wakhohlwa ukuthi uBhalami wayengumuntu nje nokuthi uNkulunkulu ulawula ikusasa labo bonke abantu.
Amazwi kaNkulunkulu anguyebo noma cha futhi akadlali. Izivakashi zikaBhalami zeza nemivuzo yokubhula ezandleni zabo futhi uBhalami wabacela ukuba balale naye ngenkathi ekhuluma noNkulunkulu ngokuvakasha kwabo. Qaphela lapha ukuthi uBhalami wayeqinisekile ukuthi angakhuluma noNkulunkulu nokuthi uNkulunkulu uzokhuluma naye. Wonke umKristu kufanele akwazi ukukhuluma noNkulunkulu ngokuzethemba. UBalami wakhuluma noNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko futhi watshela uNkulunkulu ukuthi izivakashi zakhe zazizokwenzani futhi uNkulunkulu waphendula, wathi kuNum. 22:12 “awuyikuhamba nabo; ungabaqalekisi abantu, ngokuba babusisiwe. ”
UBileyamu wavuka ekuseni, watshela izivakashi zikaBalaki lokho uNkulunkulu amtshele khona; okusho ukuthi "iNkosi yenqaba ukunginika imvume yokuhamba nawe." Izivakashi zalandisa uBalaki ngalokho uBalami azitshela zona. UBalaki ubuyisele emuva izikhulu ezihloniphekile, ethembisa uBhalami ukukhushulwa ekuhlonipheni okukhulu futhi uzokwenza noma yini uBhalami ayishoyo kuye. Njenganamuhla amadoda ahloniphekile, ingcebo namandla anabaprofethi bawo, abakhulumela uNkulunkulu. Imvamisa laba bantu bafuna ukuthi umphrofethi atshele uNkulunkulu ukuthi enze lokho akuthandayo lamadoda. UBalaki wayefuna, uBhalami aqalekise u-Israyeli. UBhalami akakutholanga ngokuqondile ukuthi awukwazi ukuqalekisa lokho uNkulunkulu akubusisile.
KuNum. 22 UBileyamu wayelwa neqiniso elalimcacela, ukuthi noma ngabe uBalaki wayemnikeza igolide nesiliva elingakanani, uBhalami wayengeke akwazi ukudlula izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami. UBileyamu wabiza uNkulunkulu, uJehova, uNkulunkulu wami; wayeyazi iNkosi, wakhuluma naye futhi wezwa kuye. Inkinga yokuqala ngoBhalami nabaningi namhlanje ukuzama ukubona ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzowuguqula umqondo waKhe ngodaba oluthile. UBhalami evesini 20 wanquma ukukhuluma noNkulunkulu futhi ukuze abone ukuthi uzothini. UNkulunkulu uyazi ukuphela kwasekuqaleni wayesemtshelile uBhalami ngesinqumo sakhe kodwa uBhalami wayelokhu ezama ukubona ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzoshintsha yini. UNkulunkulu wabe esetshela uBhalami, ukuthi angahamba kodwa akakwazanga ukuqalekisa labo ababusisiwe.
UBhalami wabophela imbongolo yakhe wahamba nezikhulu zakwaMowabi. Ivesi 22 lifunda, ukuthi intukuthelo yeNkosi yavutha kuBhalami ngokuya kuBalaki, lapho iNkosi isishilo, ungayi kuBalaki. Endleleni eya kuBalaki, uBhalami wehliswa umoya nembongolo yakhe ethembekile. Imbongolo yakwazi ukubona ingelosi yeNkosi ikhiphe inkemba, kepha yahlushwa ukushaywa uBhalami owayengakwazi ukubona ingelosi yeNkosi.
Lapho uBhalami engakwazi ukuqonda okwakwenziwa imbongolo, iNkosi yanquma ukukhuluma noBhalami ngezimbongolo ngezwi lomuntu. UNkulunkulu wayengenayo enye indlela yokufinyelela lo mprofethi ngaphandle kokwenza okuthile okungajwayelekile. UNkulunkulu wenza imbongolo ikhulume futhi iphendule ngezwi nangokucabanga komuntu. Izinombolo. 22: 28-31 ifingqa ukuxhumana phakathi kukaBhalami nembongolo yakhe. UBhalami wayethukuthele kakhulu ngezimbongolo zakhe njengoba iningi lethu livame ukwenza ukuthi asixoxi ngezwi likaNkulunkulu. UBhalami wayethukuthelele kakhulu imbongolo yakhe kangangokuba wayishaya kathathu, wasongela ukuyibulala imbongolo uma ephethe inkemba esandleni sakhe. Lapha umprofethi wayephikisana nesilwane esinezwi lomuntu; futhi akuzange kwenzeke endodeni leyo, kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi imbongolo ikhulume ngezwi lomuntu futhi isho amaqiniso anembile. Umprofethi wayedle kakhulu ngesifiso sakhe sokufika kuBalaki okwakuphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu. Izikhathi eziningi sizithola senza izinto eziphikisana nentando kaNkulunkulu futhi sicabanga ukuthi silungile ngoba kuyisifiso senhliziyo yethu.
KuNum. 22:32 Ingelosi kaJehova yavula amehlo kaBileyamu, futhi yathi kuye: "Ngiphumile ukumelana nawe, ngokuba indlela yakho ibiyimbi phambi kwami." Lo kwakunguNkosi ekhuluma noBhalami; futhi ucabange iNkosi ithi; indlela yakhe (uBhalami) yayiyiphutha phambi kwami ​​(INkosi). UBileyamu wanikela ngemihlatshelo kuJehova ngenxa kaBalaki noMowabi ngenxa kaJakobe; kodwa uNkulunkulu waqhubeka embusisa uJakobe. Izinombolo. U-23: 23 uthi, “Impela akukho ukuthakatha ngoJakobe; futhi akukho ukubhula okungamelana no-Israyeli. ” Khumbula ukuthi uBhalami wayenikela ngemihlatshelo ezindaweni eziphakeme zikaBhali. Imbongolo yabona kathathu ingelosi yeNkosi kepha uBhalami akakwazanga. Uma imbongolo ingashintshi inkambo yokugwema ingelosi, uBhalami wayengabulawa.
Evesini 41, uBalaki wamthatha uBileyamu wamkhuphula wamyisa ezindaweni eziphakeme zikaBali, ukuze lapho abone ingxenye enkulu yabantu. Cabanga ngomuntu okhuluma futhi ezwe kuvela kuNkulunkulu emi ezindaweni eziphakeme zikaBhali. Lapho ushiya eceleni ukuze uhlangane nabanye onkulunkulu nabalandeli babo; umi ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zikaBali njengesivakashi sikaBalaki. Abantu bakaNkulunkulu bangenza amaphutha kaBhalami, kuNum. 23: 1. Umprofethi kaBalami watshela uBalaki oyiqaba, ukuba amakhele ama-altare futhi azilungiselele izinkabi nezinqama zomhlatshelo kuNkulunkulu. UBhalami wakwenza kwabukeka sengathi noma yimuphi umuntu anganikela kuNkulunkulu. Yini enethempeli likaNkulunkulu noBhali? UBalami wakhuluma noNkulunkulu futhi uNkulunkulu wafaka izwi lakhe emlonyeni kaBhalami ethi evesini 8: Ngingamqalekisa kanjani lowo angamqalekisanga uNkulunkulu? Kumbe ngingamphikisa kanjani ongadelelwanga yiNkosi na? Ngoba ngisesiqongweni samadwala ngiyambona, futhi ngisemagqumeni ngiyambona. Bheka, abantu bayohlala bodwa, futhi ngeke babalwe phakathi kwezizwe.

Lokhu kwakufanele kumtshele uBhalami ngokusobala ukuthi akukho okungenziwa ngokumelene no-Israyeli: Futhi kwase kuyisikhathi sokushiya uBalaki okwakungafanele afike ukuhlangana naye kwasekuqaleni; ngoba ekuqaleni iNkosi yatshela uBhalami ukuthi angahambi. Ukuhlanganisa ukungalaleli uBalami waqhubeka nokulalela uBalaki nokunikela ngemihlatshelo eminingi kuNkulunkulu esikhundleni sokugwema uBalaki. Kusukela kulo mbhalo kufanele kucacele kuso sonke isintu ukuthi akekho umuntu ongaqalekisa noma ahlambalaze u-Israyeli nokuthi u-Israyeli kumele ahlale yedwa futhi akumele abalwe phakathi kwezizwe. UNkulunkulu ubakhetha njengesizwe futhi akukho okungenziwa ngakho. KuNum. 25: 1-3, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eShithimi, baqala ukufeba namadodakazi akwaMowabi. Babizela abantu emihlatshelweni yawonkulunkulu babo, abantu badla, bakhothamela onkulunkulu babo. U-Israyeli wazihlanganisa noBali Peyori. intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Israyeli. Izinombolo. U-31: 16 ufundeka kanje, “bheka, laba babangela ukuthi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngeseluleko sikaBalami, benze ukona kuJehova endabeni yasePheyori kwaba khona isifo phakathi kwebandla leNkosi.” UBhalami umprofethi owayejwayele ukukhuluma nokuzwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu manje wayesekhuthaza abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuba baphikisane noNkulunkulu wabo. Bhalamu watjala inhlanyelo leyesabekako emkhatsini webantfwana baka-Israyeli kantsi futsi uyabutsintsa buKhristu lamuhla. Ngumoya odukisa abantu, obaholela kude noNkulunkulu.
KuSamb. 2:14 yona leNkosi eyakhuluma noBhalami yiyo leyo Nkosi eqinisekisa ukuthi izenzo zikaBhalami zaziqonde ukuthini kuYe (INkosi). INkosi yathi, ebandleni lasePhergamu, “Nginezinto ezimbalwa ngimelene nawe, ngoba unabo lapho labo ababambe imfundiso kaBalami, owafundisa uBalaki ukubeka isikhubekiso phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ukuba badle okuhlatshelwe izithombe, nokufeba. ” Lokhu kungamakhulu eminyaka ngaphambi kokubhalwa kwencwadi yesambulo. Inkinga ukuthi imfundiso kaBhalami iselungile futhi iyaphila emasontweni amaningi namuhla njengoba ukuhumusha (ukuhlwithelwa) kusondela. Abantu abaningi bangaphansi kwethonya lemfundiso kaBhalami. Zihlole ubone ukuthi imfundiso kaBhalami isiyithathile impilo yakho yokomoya. Imfundiso kaBalami ikhuthaza amaKrestu ukuthi angcolise ukwahlukana kwawo futhi alahle abalingiswa bawo njengabantu abangaziwa nabahambi emhlabeni abathola induduzo ekujabuliseni izifiso zabanye onkulunkulu. Khumbula ukuthi noma yini oyikhonzayo iba nguNkulunkulu wakho.

UJuda ivesi 11, ukhuluma ngokugijimela ukuhaha ngemuva kwephutha likaBalami ukuthola umvuzo. Kulezi zinsuku zokugcina abantu abaningi badonsela ekuzuzeni ngokwezinto ezibonakalayo, ngisho nasemibuthanweni yobuKristu. Amadoda anamandla kuhulumeni, osopolitiki kanye nabantu abaningi abacebile bavame ukuba nabesilisa abakholwayo, abaprofethi, izazi, ababoni nokunye ukuncika ekutheni bazi ukuthi ikusasa libaphatheleni. Laba bantu abaphakathi kukaBhalami balindele imivuzo nezenyuso ezivela kubantu abanjengoBalaki. Baningi abantu abanjengoBhalami ebandleni namhlanje, abanye bayizikhonzi, abanye banesiphiwo, bayaphoqa kodwa banomoya kaBhalami. Qaphela umoya kaBhalami uNkulunkulu uphikisana nawo. Ngabe umoya kaBhalami uyayithonya impilo yakho? Uma uzwa izwi lomuntu kusuka kwesinye isidalwa sikaNkulunkulu, akusiyena umuntu lowo, bese wazi ukuthi umoya kaBhalami useduze.
Bambelela eNkosini uJesu Kristu futhi izokubamba. Ungavumeli umoya kaBhalami ungene kuwe noma uwe ngaphansi kwethonya lomoya kaBhalami. Ngaphandle kwalokho uzodansela ingoma nomculo wesigubhu esihlukile kodwa hhayi uMoya oNgcwele. Phenduka futhi uphenduke.
