Umzekeliso wenkumbi yomprofeti uYoweli
Umonakalo ochazwe sisenzo seenkumbi, ubhekisa kububi obukhulu obubangelwa yimfazwe neentlanga zangaphandle hayi kwimikhosi yeedemon. Bubuxoki obungathethekiyo ukuthi uhlobo ngalunye lwentethe lumele imikhosi yeedemon, ezisebenza kubomi babantu.
Umzekeliso wenkumbi yomprofeti uYoweli
Intshayelelo
Kuyinto engenangqondo inani leentshumayelo, amanqaku, iincwadi kunye nemiboniso echaza umbono weenkumbi, owabhengezwa ngumprofeti uJoel, njengemikhosi yeedemon ehlasela ubukho babakholwayo abangakhangeli isishumi.
Ukukhangela okulula kwi-Intanethi kubuyisa amanqaku amaninzi kunye neencwadi [1] echaza ngokuthe ngqo ukuba iinkumbi yimikhosi yeedemon ezisebenza ngokuthe ngqo kwizinto zabantu, ezichitha izindlu, iimoto, iimpahla, ukutya, imivuzo, njl. Ukuthi ezi demon zibangele iintlekele ezimotweni, kwiinqwelomoya, kutshone iinqanawa, kudilize izakhiwo, kubulala abantu, kutshabalalisa izizwe, iintsapho, iicawa, imitshato namakhaya.
Injalo loo nto, umela ntoni umzekeliso weenkumbi owachazwa nguYoweli? Ngaba iinkumbi ziidemon?
Umzekeliso
“Okwasalayo kumbungu, kwadliwa ziinkumbi, kwasala inkumbi, kwadliwa ziinkumbi kwasala inkumbi, yayidla intwala.” (Yoweli 1: 4)
Phambi kokuhlalutya isicatshulwa, ndifuna ukuqinisekisa umfundi ukuba amanani omqombothi, intothoviyane, inkumbi nentwala, ezenza umzekeliso womprofeti uYoweli, ayizizo iidemon. Nayiphi na indlela, ngale ndlela, ijolise ekukhohliseni abangalumkanga ngokwenza i-layman kunye neophyte ixhoba elilula lamadoda anganyanisekanga okanye, ubuncinci, ingazi nyani yebhayibhile.
Umzekeliso owabhengezwa ngumprofeti uYoweli wawunabantu abathile: amaJuda, phambi kokusasazeka. Xa uJoel ebhengeza umyalezo kaThixo kubadala nakubemi belizwe, akazange ajonge eluntwini, ngokungathi wayethetha ngeplanethi yomhlaba, ngaphambili, lo myalezo wawujolise kwiinkokheli zamaJuda nakubemi belizwe laseKanan, oko kukuthi, amaYuda. (Yoweli 1: 2)
Ukwandisa ububanzi besiprofetho, ukuthetha nabeeNtlanga okanye nokuthetha namalungu eCawa likaKrestu, kukujija umyalezo womprofeti uYoweli, kuba abantu ekujoliswe kubo ngalo myalezo ngamaSirayeli, njengoko kunokubonwa kwisivakalisi sokugqibela. Ukusuka kwindinyana: ‘… okanye, ngemihla yooyihlo’, indlela yokubhekisa kwizizukulwana ezidlulileyo zoonyana bakaSirayeli.
Yivani oku, nina badala, nimamele, nonke bemi bomhlaba: Ngaba oku kwenzekile ngemihla yenu, nangemihla yabazali benu? (Yoweli 1: 2)
Ama-Israyeli kufuneka adlulise umyalezo womprofeti uYoweli, malunga neenkumbi, kubantwana babo nakubantwana kubantwana babo, ukuze umyalezo ufikelele nakwizizukulwana ezizayo. (Yoweli 1: 3)
Zintoni iinkumbi ezikulo mzekeliso? Impendulo ifumaneka kwivesi 6: uhlanga olunamandla noluninzi lwangaphandle!
“Kuba uhlanga olunamandla olungenakubalwa luvukele kulo mhlaba wam; Amazinyo asemadinini kwaye anemihlathi yengonyama endala.” (Yoweli 1: 6)
Umprofeti uYeremiya, naye, wayebhekisa kuhlaselo lwangaphandle, esebenzisa amanye amanani:
Ngokuba ndiya kunivelela ngeentlobo ezine zobubi, utsho uYehova; ngekrele lokubulala, izinja, ukubarhuqa, neentaka zezulu, nezilo zomhlaba, ukuba nizidle nizitshabalalise. (Yer 15: 3)
Uhlaselo lweentlanga zasemzini lwalisele luxelwe kwangaphambili ngumprofeti uMoses:
UYehova uya kukuphakamisela uhlanga oluvela kude, esiphelweni somhlaba, esiphaphazela njengokhozi, uhlanga olulwimi lungayi kuluva; Isizwe esijamelene noburhalarhume, esingayi kuhlonipha ubuso bexhego, okanye simsizele umfana; Adle isiqhamo senkomo yakho, nesiqhamo somhlaba wakho, ude utshabalale; kwaye ayiyi kukushiyela iinkozo, neoli, namathole eenkomo zakho, naweegusha zakho, ide ikugqibe.” (Dut. 28: 49-51)
Umprofeti uJoel wenza isibikezelo esifanayo, nangona kunjalo, uqamba umzekeliso ukulungiselela ukuvakaliswa kweziganeko ezizayo, ukusuka kubazali ukuya ebantwaneni. Angathini na umntu ukulibala umzekeliso oneenkumbi, eziqwenga yonke into ephambi kwabo?
Uhlaselo lwamaKaledi luthelekiswa nentshabalalo ebangelwe ziinkumbi, kuba bebeza kungena kwizixeko zakwaSirayeli, ezazifana ne-Eden, ethi yona, emva kohlaselo lweBhabheli, kushiyeke kusenkangala kuphela.
“Usuku lobumnyama nobumnyama; yimini yamafu nesithokothoko, njengentsasa enwenwela phezu kweentaba; abantu abakhulu nabanamandla, ekungazange kubekho unjalo, kususela kumaxesha amandulo, nasemva kwabo iminyaka ezayo, kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Phambi kwakhe umlilo utshisa nasemva kwakhe ilangatye elivuthayo. Umhlaba phambi kwakhe unjengomyezo we-Eden, emva kwakhe uyintlango eyinkangala; Ewe, akuyi kusinda.” (Yoweli 2: 2-3)
Umzekeliso weenkumbi wawusebenza ngenjongo yokubonisa oko kwaxelwa kwangaphambili nguMoses, kuba uhlanga olwaluza kuhlasela uSirayeli lwaluza kutya yonke into eveliswa zizilwanyana nentsimi. Akusayi kubakho ngqolowa, kufuneka, i-oyile okanye inzala yezilwanyana, ngenxa yokuhlasela kwamanye amazwe.
Umdiliya nomkhiwane ngamanani abhekisa kwizindlu ezimbini zoonyana bakaYakobi: uYuda noSirayeli, ukuze isiprofeto nomzekeliso zimele, kuphela kwaye ngokukodwa, abantwana bakwaSirayeli. Ukubeka amadoda, okanye iiNtlanga, okanye icawe, njengezinto ezenziwa ziinkumbi, yingcinga yentloko yomntu ongafundanga.
Umprofeti uIsaya noYeremiya bathelekisa iintlanga ezingaqhelekanga namarhamncwa asendle, endaweni yokusebenzisa iinkumbi:
“Wena, zonke izilwanyana zasendle, zonke izilwanyana zehlathi, yizani nidle” (Is 56: 9);
Ngenxa yoko ingonyama yasehlathini ibabulele, ingcuka ivela entlango. ihlosi lijonga izixeko zalo; ophuma kuzo uya kwaphulwa; ngenxa yokuba ukreqo lwabo luyanda, uwexuko lwabo landa. ” (Yer 5: 6)
Umonakalo ochazwe sisenzo seenkumbi, ubhekisa kububi obukhulu obubangelwa yimfazwe neentlanga zangaphandle hayi kwimikhosi yeedemon. Bubuxoki obungathethekiyo ukuthi uhlobo ngalunye lwentethe lumele imikhosi yeedemon, ezisebenza kubomi babantu.
Nabani na othi intethe yintlobo yomkhosi weedemon, osebenza kubomi babo bangamthobeliyo uThixo, ulixoki.
UThixo wawuqalekisa umhlaba ngenxa yokungathobeli kuka-Adam, ekugqibeleni, wazimisela ukuba umntu atye ukubila ebusweni bakhe (Gen. 3: 17-19). Ukuzimisela kukaThixo kuwa phezu kwamalungisa nabangalunganga! Esinye isiqalekiso esiwele eluntwini, amaYuda kunye neeNtlanga, yayikukufa, ekuthi ngalo bonke abantu bahlukaniswe nobuqaqawuli bukaThixo.
Kodwa, ngaphandle kwesiqalekiso esiveliswe kukona kuka-Adam, ithamsanqa liphoswa emathangeni kuyo yonke inzala yakhe, ngaphandle kokwahlulwa kwelungisa nokungabi nabulungisa “kuba ixesha nethuba lichaphazela wonke umntu, ngokungacacanga” (IMiz. 9:11). Wonke umntu osebenza kobu bomi unelungelo lokutya, kuba umthetho wokuhlwayela uyafana kuwo wonke umntu: ulungile kwaye awunabulungisa.
Ukutsho ukuba inkumbi yokusika isebenza kubomi babantu abangakholwayo bubuxoki. Ukuthi inxenye yento umntu ongakholwayo ayizuzayo emsebenzini wakhe, yeyedemon yinto enqabileyo, kuba umhlaba kunye nokuzala kwawo kukwiNkosi.
Usebenzisa u-Isaya 55, ivesi 2 ukuthetha ngezemali, ungqina ngokuchasene nenyaniso yesiBhalo. Xa u-Isaya ebuza abantu, malunga nokuchitha oko bakusebenzeleyo besebenza koko kungesosonka, wayengathethi ngemidiza, iziselo, ulonwabo, amayeza, njl. UThixo wayekhalimela abantu ngokuchitha oko akufumanayo kwimibingelelo, iminikelo engamkholisiyo uThixo (Isa 1: 11-12; Isa 66: 3).
Oko uThixo akholiswayo kuko, nokwanelisa ngokwenyani umntu, kukuba aliphulaphule ilizwi likaThixo, kuba, ‘ukuphendula kungcono kunombingelelo’. (1 Sam 15:22) Kodwa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli banikelwa kumadini, oko kukuthi, bachitha iziqhamo zomsebenzi kwizinto abangazukwanelisa!
“Kodwa uSamuweli wathi, ‘Ngaba uYehova unonelele amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo, ngangokuba enonelele ukuthotyelwa kwelizwi likaYehova? Ukuthobela kulunge ngaphezu kokubingelela; kwaye ukukhonza kungcono kunamanqatha egusha.” (1 Sam 15:22)
Akunangqondo ukuthetha ukuba inkumbi etshabalalisayo ibhekisa kwintlekele yendalo, iintlekele, imozulu embi, njl., Kodwa ukusebenzisa uYohane 10, ivesi 10, apho isela lize khona, ukuba lingabulali, libe kwaye litshabalalise, njengezenzo zomtyholi , akufundeki kakuhle uneenjongo ezingalunganga. Ukuthi imikhosi yeedemon, emelwe yinkumbi eyonakalisayo, ngababulali abenza oko kuthethwa nguYohane 10, ivesi 10; ayikhathali.
Isela uYesu wathi lize kubulala, ukuba, ukutshabalalisa alibhekiseli kumtyholi, kodwa kwiinkokeli zakwa-Israyeli, ezazize phambi kwakhe. Iinkokheli zakwa-Israyeli babengamasela nabaphangi, kuba babesenza izinto ngaphambi kokufika kukaYesu, ngenxa yesiprofeto ababesixele kwangaphambili.
“Ingaba le ndlu ibizwa ngegama lam, umqolomba wezihange emehlweni enu? Yabonani, mna lo ndikubonile oko, utsho uYehova. (Yer 7:11);
“Bonke abo beza phambi kwam bangamasela nabaphangi; kodwa izimvu azibaphulaphulanga.” (UYohane 10: 8);
Isela alizi lingazele ukuze libe, lixhele, litshabalalise. Mna ndizele ukuze babe nobomi, babe nabo ke ngokugqithiseleyo. (UYohane 10:10);
Wathi kubo, Kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Indlu yam iya kubizwa ngokuba yindlu yokuthandaza; ke nina niyenze umqolomba wezihange ”. (Mt 21: 13)
Ukuqukunjelwa kwezithethi ezisebenzisa umzekeliso weenkumbi kuyamangalisa ngakumbi xa iphakamisa indlela yokoyisa iinkumbi: ukubakho!
Ngelixa iinkumbi zazimele ilizwe lamaKaledi, elahlasela iJerusalem ngo-586 BC, xa uNebhukadenetsare II – umlawuli waseBhabheli- wahlasela uBukumkani bakwaJuda, etshabalalisa isixeko saseJerusalem kunye neTempile, ethumela amaJuda eMesopotamiya. , ungazoyisa njani ezi ‘nkumbi’, ukuba ngaba amaKaledi aphelile?
Ukongeza ekuthini iinkumbi ezikumzekeliso kaJoweli ziindidi ezahlukeneyo zeedemon, izithethi ezininzi zithi ekuphela kwendlela yokuzibetha kukuthembeka kwizishumi neminikelo! Ubuxoki!
Oonyana bakaSirayeli bahlaselwa ziintlanga zasemzini, kuba abawuphumulanga umhlaba ngokwelizwi leNkosi, hayi ngenxa yokuba bengabikho, njengoko sifunda:
Ndonichithachitha phakathi kweentlanga, ndirhole ikrele lam emva kwenu, ilizwe lenu kube senkangala, nezixeko zenu zibe ngamanxuwa. Liya kwandula ukwaneliswa ziisabatha zalo ilizwe, yonke imihla yokuba kusenkangala kulo, nibe semhlabeni weentshaba zenu; umhlaba ke uya kuphumla udlale ngeMigqibelo yawo. Uya kuphumla yonke imihla yokuphanziswa, kuba akazange aphumle ngeesabatha zakho, xa wayehlala kuyo” (Lev 26:33 -35).
Kungenxa yokungaphumli komhlaba, ukuze uThixo amise iiveki ezingama-70 zikaDaniel, njengoko kubhaliwe kwiNcwadi yeziKronike:
ukuze kuzaliseke ilizwi likaYehova ngomlomo kaYeremiya, lide ilizwe laneliswe ziisabatha zalo; yonke imihla yenkangala, yaphela yada yazaliseka iminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe.” (2 Kronike 36:21).
Isikhalazo sikaMalaki ngokuzisa zonke izishumi kwingxowa-mali inde emva kokugxothwa eBhabheli (Mal 3:10). Umprofeti uMalaki wayephila ngexesha likaEzra noNehemiya, kwisithuba emva kokuthinjwa, xa iindonga zaseYerusalem zazisele zakhiwe, malunga ne-445 BC
Ibhayibhile icacile:
“Njengokubhadula kweentaka, njengenkonjane ibhabha, isiqalekiso ngaphandle kwesizathu asisayi kuza”. (IMi 26: 2)
Ngaba isiqalekiso sehlela abantwana bakwaSirayeli sisenzo seedemon? Hayi! Iidemon ziqalekisiwe ngendalo, kodwa azingonobangela weziqalekiso eluntwini. Unobangela wesiqalekiso esiwe phezu koonyana bakaSirayeli yayikukungathobeli imithetho kaThixo, eyanikelwa nguMoses. Uhlaselo lwaseBhabheli lwenzeka kuphela ngenxa yokungathobeli kuka-Israyeli hayi ngezenzo zeedemon!
Kubantwana bakwaSirayeli, uThixo wacebisa iintsikelelo neziqalekiso kwaye umxholo wokuzifumana, ngokulandelelana, kukuthobela nokungathobeli. Unobangela wesiqalekiso yayikukungathobeli, kuba ngaphandle kwesiqalekiso akusayi kubakho siqalekiso.
Kwaye ngubani owamisa isiqalekiso? UThixo ngokwakhe!
“Kothi, ukuba uthe uthe akwaliphulaphula izwi likaYehova uThixo wakho, ukuba ugcine ungayigcini yonke imithetho yakhe nemimiselo yakhe endikuwiselayo namhla, zize phezu kwakho ezi ziqalekiso zonke zikufumane: Damn wena esixekweni kwaye uzokulahla elizweni. Damn ibhasikidi yakho kunye ne-kneader yakho. Siqalekisiwe isiqhamo sesizalo sakho, nesiqhamo somhlaba wakho, nembewu yeenkomo zakho, neyempahla yakho emfutshane. Uqalekisiwe xa ungena kwaye uqalekiswa xa uphuma. UYehova uya kuthuma isiqalekiso phezu kwakho, ukudideka kunye noloyiso kuyo yonke into obeka isandla sakho kuyo; ude utshabalale, ude ubhubhe ngesiquphe, ngenxa yezinto zakho ezimbi ozenzileyo ondishiye ngazo. (Dut. 28: 15-20)
Ngokuqinisekileyo, ngaphandle kwesizathu, akukho siqalekiso!
Igalelo lemali kwiziko elinikiweyo alikhululi nabani na kwiidemon, iziqalekiso, iliso elibi, njl. Imiyalezo enjalo yinkohliso ukudibanisa elula. Kungenxa yokuba ungenalo ulwazi lokuba awuyi kohlwaywa:
“Abalumkileyo babona ububi bazifihle; ke zona iziyatha zigqitha kubo, zohlwaywe.” (IMi 27:12)
Ukwenza ibango lokungazi phambi koThixo akukhululi nabani na kwiziphumo. Yiyo loo nto imfuneko yokuba umntu ahoye ilizwi likaThixo.
Kodwa, kukho abo balivayo ilizwi likaThixo, nangona kunjalo, bagqiba kwelokuba bahambe ngokokucebisa kweentliziyo zabo, becinga ukuba baya kuba noxolo. Inkohliso enkulu, kuba intsikelelo yeNkosi yeyabo bathobela ilizwi laKhe.
“Kwaye kuyakuthi, xa umntu eve amazwi esi siqalekiso, azisikelele entliziyweni yakhe, esithi: Ndiza kuba noxolo, nokuba ndihamba ngokwembono yentliziyo yam; ukongeza kunxano, nokusela.” (Dut. 29:19)
Isifundo esivela kumntu okholwayo kuYesu Krestu koko kwaziswa kumzekeliso weenkumbi sichazwa ngumpostile uPawulos kwabaseKorinte:
“Kwaye ezi zinto zenziwa kuthi ngomfanekiso, hleze sinqwenele izinto ezimbi, njengabo.” (1 Kor. 10: 6).
Kulabo bakholelwa ukuba uYesu unguKrestu, akusekho kugwetywa, kwaye into esiyifundayo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli kukuba singenzi iimpazamo ezifanayo. Ukuba akukho kugwetywa umntu osisidalwa esitsha, ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uzifihlile noKristu kuThixo, ke ngoko, akoyiki ziidemon, iziqalekiso, njl.
Nabani na okuKrestu ongendawo akamchukumisi, kuba uzimele kunye noKristu, kuThixo.
“Siyazi ukuba wonke umntu ozelwe nguThixo akoni; kodwa into eveliswe nguThixo iyazigcina, kwaye ongendawo akayichukumisi. ” (1 Yohane 5:18);
“Kuba sowufile kwaye ubomi bakho bufihlakele kunye noKrestu, kuThixo.” (Kol 3: 3)
Onke amakholwa kuKristu asikelelwe ngazo zonke iintsikelelo zokomoya kuKristu Yesu (Efe. 1: 3), ke akukho mfuneko yokoyika isenzo seedemon.
Esona siqalekiso sinokufikelela kwikholwa kukuvumela ukuba akhohliswe ngabantu abathi, ngobuqhetseba, bazikhohlise ngobuqhetseba, bemke enyanisweni yeendaba ezilungileyo (Eph 4: 14; 2 Pet 2: 20-21), ke ngoko, ngokunxulumene nabo bonke izinto, yena ungaphezu ophumeleleyo, kwaye akukho sidalwa unako ukwahlula kuye nothando lukaThixo, okuye uKristu.
“Kodwa kuzo zonke ezi zinto, singaphezulu kokuphumelela, ngulowo wasithandayo. Kuba ndiqinisekile ukuba ukufa, nobomi, nazingelosi, nazilawuli, magunya, okwangoku, nakwikamva, nokuphakama, nobunzulu, nasiphi na esinye isidalwa, akunako ukwahlula sothando lukaThixo, olukuye uKristu Yesu, iNkosi yethu ”(Roma 8: 37-39).
