INOMBOLO YONYAKA 6
Lolu phawu lusho isiyaluyalu esikhulu, njengoba sifunda isAmbulo 8:17, “Ngokuba usuku olukhulu lolaka lwayo selufikile; ngubani ongema na? Namuhla, sibona futhi sijabulela ilanga, inyanga nezinkanyezi kodwa maduzane konke kuzoshintsha kulabo abaphuthelwa ukuhunyushwa. IsAmbulo 6:12-17 sifundeka kanje. “Ngase ngibona lapho livula uphawu lwesithupha, bheka, kwaba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu; ilanga laba mnyama njengendwangu yesaka yoboya, nenyanga yaba njengegazi;
Lesi yisikhathi ngemva kokuhunyushwa, lolu phawu luvuleka ngokwesaba ngoba uNkulunkulu wayezokwenyusa izinga lokwahlulela kwakhe labo ababenethuba lokwenza ukuthula noNkulunkulu kodwa benqaba. Ungabi omunye walabo bantu. Ukuzamazama komhlaba kwakukhulu, futhi ubani ofuna ukuba lapha ukuze athole ukuthi zingaki izizwe eziyobhekana nokuzamazama nomonakalo okuzowenza. Ilanga laba mnyama njengendwangu yesaka yoboya; lokhu kwakungaphezu kokusitheka kwelanga, kwakungubumnyama obuphelele. Funda u-Eksodusi 10:21-23. “Futhi uJehova wathi kuMose: “Yelulela isandla sakho ezulwini, ukuze kube khona ubumnyama phezu kwezwe laseGibhithe, ubumnyama obuphathekayo.” Lesi kwakuyisithunzi sento yangempela ezayo, osophawu lwesi-6 ibe ubumnyama bomhlaba wonke. Inyanga yaba njengegazi, lena akuyona nje inyanga yegazi eyaziwayo; lokhu kungukwahlulela.
Ivesi 13 lifundeka kanje, “Futhi izinkanyezi zezulu zawela emhlabeni, njengoba nje umkhiwane uwisa amakhiwane awo amadala, lapho unyakaziswa umoya onamandla. Izinkanyezi zasezulwini zibonakala kuzo zonke izizwe emhlabeni, ngakho uma izinkanyezi ziqala ukuwa ziyowela yonke indawo kulabo abasele ngemuva kokuhunyushwa komzimba kaKristu weqiniso. Angikaze ngicabange ukuthi i-meteorite yezinhlayiya zenkanyezi izobukeka kanjani, ngaze ngavakashela i-Winslow meteor crater e-Arizona, eU.SA. Lena indawo lapho i-meteorite yashaya khona phansi futhi yadala imbobo engamamayela angu-3 ububanzi nangaphezulu kwekota yemayela ukujula. Lapho ngithinta izinhlayiyana kwakufana nensimbi. Cabanga ukuthi lokho kuyosho ukuthini, uma insimbi esindayo iwela ezindlini nasemasimini nasemadodeni. Uma inkanyezi ifa futhi iphahlazeka ibe izingxenye zibhekwa njengama- meteor, kodwa uma lawo ma meteor eza emhlabeni abhekwa njenge- meteorite. Cabanga nje ukuthi uyobe ukuphi lapho lezi zinkanyezi ziwela emhlabeni phezu kwalabo abaye bamala uKristu. Kuzoba nodlame ukusho okuncane. Okholwa kuKristu uyasindiswa kepha abamenqabayo balahliwe. Ukuphi uhlangothi ngaphambi kokuba izinkanyezi ziwe ngokoqobo ezulwini njengoba iBhayibheli lishilo?
Ivesi 14 lifundeka kanje, “Izulu lamuka njengomqulu lapho usongwa; zonke izintaba neziqhingi zasuswa ezindaweni zazo.” Abantu bacasha emihumeni nasemadwaleni ezintaba, bathi ezintabeni nasemaweni, welani phezu kwethu, nisifihle ebusweni balowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, nasolakeni lweWundlu. Lapho lezi zinto ziqala ukwenzeka khumbula ukuthi umakoti usehambile. Owesifazane kanye nensali yakhe badlula esikhathini sosizi ngenxa yokuhlanzwa kwabo. Khumbula isAmbulo 7:14, "Laba yibo abaphuma osizini olukhulu, bageza izingubo zabo, bazenza mhlophe egazini leWundlu." Kuyoba nencithakalo engaka emhlabeni phakathi nengxenye yesibili yosizi olukhulu lwezinyanga ezingu-42. Lo mhlaba awusoze wafana. Cabanga ngezimo ebezingaqhubezela amadoda aziqhenyayo, ukuzidla emakhoneni, njengamagundane amanzi afuna ukufudumala. Cabanga ngomongameli namasenenja kanye nojenene bezempi bazo zonke izizwe abaphuthelwe ukuhlwithwa befuna imigede yomhlaba ababezocasha kuyo. Lapho kuthiwa amadoda nabesifazane abaqinile bayabuna njengezitshalo ezomile lapho bebhekene nezinhlungu zosizi olukhulu.
Ivesi 15-16 lifundeka kanje, “Amakhosi omhlaba, nezikhulu, nezinduna, nezicebi, nabanamandla, nezigqila zonke, nabo bonke abakhululekileyo bacasha emihumeni nasemadwaleni ezintabeni; bathi ezintabeni nasemaweni: Welani phezu kwethu, nisisithe ebusweni balowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, nasolakeni lweWundlu. Wake wacabanga ukuthi yini ezokwenza amadoda:
a. Bacashe emihumeni nasemadwaleni ezintaba; sikhuluma ngemigede, izimbobo, imigudu kanye nesembozo esimnyama emadwaleni nasezintabeni. Buka amagundane amancane ehlathini azungeze izimbobo zomhlaba ezinamatshe, efuna isiphephelo; yindlela abantu abayobukeka ngayo phakathi nosizi olukhulu. Akuyikuba khona inhlonipho emigodini yamadwala ezintaba; futhi umuntu nesilwane bayolwela izicasha. Lezi zilwane azonanga kodwa abantu bonile; isono senza umuntu abe yisisulu sezilwane.
b. Yini ezokwenza abantu bakhulume nedwala elingaphili, bethi liwele phezu kwethu lisifihle? Leli elinye lamaphuzu aphansi kakhulu emlandweni wesintu, umuntu ecasha kumenzi wakhe. Ukuswelakala kubamba labo abaphuthelwe ukuhlwithwa futhi benqaba uJesu Kristu, lapho bethola ithuba. Namuhla yilolo suku lweSINDISO, okuwukuphela kwesivikelo ezinsizini ezinkulu.
c. Sifihle ebusweni balowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi. Manje yisikhathi seqiniso, uNkulunkulu uvumela ukwahlulela kwakhe ukuba kushaye abantu emhlabeni abenqaba izwi lakhe lothando nesihe. Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe, manje kwase kuphelile. Manje kwase kuyisikhathi sokwahlulela futhi ngeke ibe khona indawo yokucasha.
d. Sifihle ebusweni beWundlu. IWundlu lidinga ukuhlonzwa okufanele; okuyosiza umuntu abone ukuthi kungani labo abasala ngemva phakathi nosizi olukhulu befuna ukufihlwa ebusweni beWundlu. Khumbula ukuthi iwundlu alinangozi, ngokuvamile lisetshenziswa futhi lamukelwa njengomhlatshelo.
LeliWundlu laliwumhlatshelo wezono zabantu esiphambanweni saseKalvari. Ukwamukela umsebenzi osuphelile weWundlu kuqinisekisa insindiso, ukuphunyuka osizini olukhulu, futhi kuqinisekisa ukuphila okuphakade. Ukwenqaba umhlatshelo weWundlu kubangela ukulahlwa nesihogo. NgokwesAmbulo 5:5-6 othi, “Futhi omunye wamalunga wathi kimi: “Ungakhali; bheka, iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda inqobile ukuyivula incwadi, nokulahlekelwa izimpawu zayo eziyisikhombisa. Ngase ngibona, bheka, phakathi kwesihlalo sobukhosi nezidalwa ezine eziphilayo, naphakathi kwamalunga, kwakumi iWundlu linjengokuhlatshiwe, linezimpondo eziyisikhombisa namehlo ayisikhombisa, lawo omoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu. zithunyelwa emhlabeni wonke.” Khumbula isAmbulo 3:1 esithi, “Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseSardesi bhala; nakhu akushoyo onawoMoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu, nezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa.”
IWundlu nguJesu Kristu. UJesu Kristu uyizwi elaba yinyama, Johane 1:14. Izwi lalinguNkulunkulu, futhi ekuqaleni uLizwi waba yinyama futhi ehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi kusAmbulo 5:7. Lapho udelela ubuhle, uthando nesipho sikaNkulunkulu esinguJesu Kristu (NgokukaJohane 3:16-18, XNUMX) Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi. , kodwa ube nokuphila okuphakade . . . . . . , ulaka lweWundlu kuphela, nesihogo esikulindile. Isihlalo somusa sikaNkulunkulu sesizoguquka sibe yisihlalo sokwahlulela sikaNkulunkulu.
Ake sicabange ukuthi umhlaba ubuyoba njani lapho ilanga liba mnyama nenyanga ibe yigazi phakathi nokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu. Ukwesaba, ukwesaba, intukuthelo nokuphelelwa ithemba kuzobamba uquqaba oluphuthelwe ukuhlwithwa. Ingabe uqinisekile ngokuphelele ukuthi uzobe ukuphi ngalesi sikhathi?
