Isingeniso
Akunangqondo inani lezintshumayelo, izindatshana, izincwadi nemibukiso echaza umbono wesikhonyane, owamenyezelwa ngumphrofethi uJoel, njengamabutho amadimoni ahlasela umkhondo wamakholwa angakhiphi okweshumi.
Ukusesha okulula ku-Intanethi kubuyisa izindatshana nezincwadi ezingenakubalwa [1] ezibeka ngokusobala ukuthi izinkumbi ngamabutho amadimoni asebenza ngqo emafeni abantu, acekela phansi izindlu, izimoto, izingubo, okokuthenga, amaholo, njll. Ukuthi lamademoni adala izinhlekelele ezimotweni, ezindizeni, kuminza imikhumbi, adiliza izakhiwo, abulale abantu, aqothule izizwe, imindeni, amasonto, imishado namakhaya.
Kunjalo, umelelani umfanekiso wesikhonyane owamenyezelwa nguJoweli? Ingabe isikhonyane singamademoni?
Umzekeliso
“Okusalile kwesibungu, isikhonyane sakudla, kwasala isikhonyane, kwasidla isikhonyane kwasala isikhonyane, kwafunwa i-aphid.” (Joweli 1: 4)
Ngaphambi kokuhlaziya lo mbhalo, ngifuna ukuqinisekisa umfundi ukuthi izibalo zesibungu, intethe, intethe kanye ne-aphid, ezakha umfanekiso womprofethi uJoel, akuwona amadimoni. Noma iyiphi indlela, ngalo mqondo, ihlose ukukhohlisa abangaqaphile ngokwenza umuntu ojwayelekile kanye neophyte isisulu esilula sabantu abangathembekile noma, okungenani, abangazi iqiniso leBhayibheli.
Umfanekiso owamenyezelwa ngumprofethi uJoel wawunezithameli ezithile: amaJuda, ngaphambi kokuhlakazeka. Ngenkathi uJoel ememezela umyalezo kaNkulunkulu kwabadala nezakhamizi zezwe, akazange akhombe isintu, sengathi wayekhuluma ngeplanethi yomhlaba, phambilini, umyalezo wawubhekiswe kubaholi bamaJuda kanye nezakhamizi zezwe laseKhanani, okungukuthi, amaJuda. (Joweli 1: 2)
Ukwandisa ububanzi besiprofetho, ukukhuluma nabeZizwe noma ngisho nokukhuluma namalungu eBandla likaKrestu, ukuguqula umyalezo womprofethi uJoel, ngoba ababhekiswe kulo mlayezo ngama-Israyeli, njengoba kungabonakala emshweni wokugcina kusuka evesini: ‘… noma, ezinsukwini zawoyihlo’, indlela yokubhekisa ezizukulwaneni ezedlule zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
“Yizwani lokhu, nina badala, nilalele, nonke nina enihlala emhlabeni: Ingabe lokhu kwenzeka ezinsukwini zenu noma, ezinsukwini zabazali benu?” (Joweli 1: 2)
Ama-Israyeli kufanele adlulisele umyalezo womprofethi uJoweli, mayelana nesikhonyane, ezinganeni zawo nasezinganeni ezinganeni zawo, ukuze umyalezo ufinyelele ezizukulwaneni ezizayo. (Joweli 1: 3)
Ziyini izinkumbi kulo mfanekiso? Impendulo itholakala evesini 6: isizwe esinamandla futhi esiningi esivela kwamanye amazwe!
“Ngokuba isizwe esinamandla esingenakubalwa sivukele izwe lami; amazinyo aso ayizimbali futhi anemihlathi yengonyama endala.” (Joweli 1: 6)
Umprofethi uJeremiya, naye, wabhekisa ekuhlaselweni kwamanye amazwe, esebenzisa ezinye izibalo:
“Ngoba ngizokuhambela ngezinhlobo ezine zobubi, isho iNkosi: ngenkemba yokubulala nezinja, ukubahudula, ngezinyoni zezulu nangezilwane zomhlaba, ukuzishwabadela.” (Jer 15: 3)
Ukuhlasela kwezizwe zakwamanye amazwe kwase kubikezelwe ngumprofethi uMose:
“INkosi iyakukuvusela isizwe esivela kude, esiphelweni somhlaba, esindiza njengokhozi, isizwe esinolimi ongasaluqondi; Isizwe esibhekene nolaka, esingeke sihloniphe ubuso bekhehla, noma siyizwele insizwa; Izakudla izithelo zezilwane zakho, nezithelo zomhlaba wakho, uze ubhujiswe; futhi ngeke sikushiyele okusanhlamvu, noma, noma uwoyela, namazinyane ezinkomo zakho, noma ezimvu zakho, size sikuqede.” (Duteronomi 28: 49-51)
Umprofethi uJoel wenza isibikezelo esifanayo, noma kunjalo, uqamba umzekeliso ukwenza lula ukumenyezelwa kwemicimbi yesikhathi esizayo, kusuka kubazali kuya ezinganeni. Umuntu angakhohlwa kanjani umfanekiso oqukethe izinkumbi, oqeda konke okuphambi kwawo?
Ukuhlasela kwamaKhaledi kuqhathaniswa nokubhujiswa okubangelwe yisikhonyane, njengoba bebezohlasela imizi yakwa-Israyeli, eyayifana ne-Edene, okwathi ngemuva kokuhlasela kweBabiloni, kwasala incithakalo kuphela.
“Usuku lobumnyama nobumnyama; usuku lwamafu nobumnyama obukhulu, njengokusa okusabalele izintaba; abantu abakhulu nabanamandla, okungakaze kube khona, kusukela ezikhathini zasendulo, noma emva kwabo iminyaka ezayo, izizukulwane ngezizukulwane. Phambi kwakhe umlilo uqothula futhi ngemva kwakhe ilangabi elivuthayo; izwe eliphambi kwakhe linjengensimu yase-Edene, kodwa emva kwakhe lihlane eliyincithakalo; yebo, akukho okuyakuphunyuka. ” (Joweli 2: 2-3)
Umzekeliso wesikhonyane wafeza inhloso yokufanekisa okwabikezelwa nguMose, ngoba isizwe esasizohlasela u-Israyeli sasizoshwabadela konke okwakhiqizwa yizilwane nensimu. Ngeke kube khona okusanhlamvu, kumele, uwoyela noma inzalo yesilwane, ngenxa yokuhlasela kwangaphandle.
Umvini nomkhiwane yizimpawu ezibhekisa ezindlini ezimbili zamadodana kaJakobe: uJuda no-Israyeli, ukuze isiprofetho nomfanekiso zimelele, kuphela futhi kuphela, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Ukubeka amadoda, noma abeZizwe, noma isonto, njengezinto zesikhonyane, kuyiphupho lekhanda lomuntu ongafundile.
Umprofethi u-Isaya noJeremiya bafanisa izizwe ezingabazi nezilo zasendle, esikhundleni sokusebenzisa isikhonyane:
“Wena, zonke izilwane zasendle, zonke izilwane zehlathi, wozani nidle” (Is 56: 9);
“Ngakho-ke, ibhubesi lasehlathini labashaya, impisi evela ezingwadule iyobahlupha; ingwe ibuka amadolobha ayo; noma ngubani ophuma kuzo uyaphihlizwa; ngoba izeqo zabo ziyanda, ukuhlubuka kwabo kwandile. ” (Jer 5: 6)
Umonakalo ochazwe isenzo sesikhonyane, ubhekisa ebubini obukhulu obudalwe yimpi yezizwe zakwamanye amazwe hhayi amabutho wamademoni. Kungamanga angakaze ashiwo ukusho ukuthi uhlobo ngalunye lwentethe lumele amabutho amadimoni, enza ngokuphila kwabantu.
Noma ngubani othi intethe luhlobo lwebutho lamademoni, elenza impilo yalabo abangalaleli uNkulunkulu, ungumqambimanga.
UNkulunkulu waqalekisa umhlaba ngenxa yokungalaleli kuka-Adamu, futhi ekugcineni, wanquma ukuthi umuntu uzodla izithukuthuku ebusweni bakhe (Gen. 3: 17-19). Lokho kuzimisela kwaphezulu kwehlela abalungile nabangalungile! Esinye isiqalekiso esehlele isintu, amaJuda kanye nabeZizwe, kwaba ukufa, lapho bonke abantu behlukaniswe nenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu.
Kepha, ngaphandle kwesiqalekiso esivela ekoneni kuka-Adam, inhlanhla iphonswa ethangeni layo yonke inzalo yakhe, ngaphandle kokuhlukanisa abalungile nabangalungile “ngoba isikhathi nethuba kuthinta wonke umuntu, ngokungaqondakali” (IzA 9:11). Wonke umuntu osebenza kulempilo unelungelo lokudla, ngoba umthetho wokuhlwanyela uyefana kuwo wonke umuntu: ulungile futhi awunabulungisa.
Ukusho ukuthi isikhonyane esisika sisebenza empilweni yabangakholwayo ngamanga. Ukusho ukuthi ingxenye yalokho okuzuzwa ngumuntu ongakholwa ngomsebenzi wakhe, kungokwamadimoni kuyisicefe, ngoba umhlaba nokugcwala kwawo kungokukaJehova.
Usebenzisa u-Isaya 55, ivesi 2, ukukhuluma ngezimali, ufakaza ngokumelene neqiniso lomBhalo. Lapho u-Isaya ebuza abantu, ngokuchitha lokho abakutholile besebenza kulokho okungesona isinkwa, wayengakhulumi ngogwayi, iziphuzo, ukuzijabulisa, imithi, njll. UNkulunkulu wayekhuza abantu ngokusebenzisa imali ayizuzile emihlatshelweni, iminikelo engamjabulisi uNkulunkulu (Isa 1: 11-12; Isa 66: 3).
Okujabulisa uNkulunkulu, futhi okwanelisa umuntu ngokweqiniso, ukuthi uzolalela izwi likaNkulunkulu, ngoba, ‘ukuphendula kungcono kunokuzidela’. (1 Sam 15:22) Kepha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babenikelwa emihlatshelweni, okungukuthi, basebenzisa izithelo zomsebenzi kulokho ababengenakukugculisa!
“Kepha uSamuweli wathi:“ UJehova uyenamela iminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo, njengalokhu enamele ukulalelwa kwezwi likaJehova na? Bheka, ukulalela kungcono kunomhlatshelo; futhi ukukhonza kungcono kunamanoni emvu.” (1 Sam 15:22)
Akunangqondo ukusho ukuthi isikhonyane esibhubhisayo sibhekisa ezinhlekeleleni zemvelo, izinhlekelele, isimo sezulu esibi, njll., Kepha ukusebenzisa uJohn 10, ivesi 10, lapho isela lafika khona, uma lingezukubulala, ukweba nokubhubhisa, njengesenzo sodeveli , ukufunda kabi ngezisusa ezingezinhle. Ukusho ukuthi ibutho lamademoni, elimelelwa yisikhonyane, ngababulali abenza okushiwo nguJohane 10, ivesi 10; kuyabheda.
Isela uJesu athi lize ukuzobulala, ukweba nokuchitha alibhekiseli kudeveli, kodwa kubaholi bakwa-Israyeli, abeza phambi kwakhe. Abaholi bakwa-Israyeli babengamasela nabaphangi, ngoba benza ngaphambi kokuba uJesu eze, ngenxa yalokho okwabikezelwa ngabaprofethi:
“Ngabe le ndlu ebizwa ngegama lami ingumhume wabaphangi emehlweni akho na? Bhekani, nami sengikubonile lokhu,” usho uJehova. (Jer 7:11);
“Bonke abafike ngaphambi kwami bangamasela nabaphangi; kepha izimvu azibezwanga.” (Johane 10: 8);
“Isela kalizi kungengokweba nokubulala nokubhubhisa; Mina ngizile ukuze babe nokuphila, babe nakho kuchichime.” (Johane 10:10);
“Futhi wathi kubo, Kulotshiwe ukuthi, Indlu yami izobizwa ngokuthi yindlu yomkhuleko; kepha nina niyenze umhume wamasela ”. (Mt 21:13)
Isiphetho sezikhulumi ezisebenzisa umzekeliso wesikhonyane siyamangaza kakhulu uma siphakamisa indlela yokunqoba isikhonyane: ukuthi ube khona!
Ngenkathi izinkumbi zazimele isizwe samaKhaledi, esahlasela iJerusalema ngo-586 BC, ngenkathi uNebukadinesari II – umbusi waseBabiloni – ehlasela uMbuso wakwaJuda, echitha idolobha laseJerusalema kanye neThempeli, futhi edingisela amaJuda eMesopotamiya. , ungazinqoba kanjani lezi ‘zinkumbi’, uma amaKaledi engasekho?
Ngaphezu kokuthi izinkumbi ezisemfanekisweni kaJoweli ziyizinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zamademoni, izikhulumi eziningi zithi ukuphela kwendlela yokuzishaya ukwethembeka kokweshumi neminikelo! Amanga!
Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlaselwa izizwe zakwamanye amazwe, ngoba abaphumulanga umhlaba, ngokwezwi leNkosi, hhayi ngoba bengekho lapho, njengoba sifunda:
“Ngiyakunihlakazela ezizweni, ngihoshe inkemba emva kwakho; izwe lakho liyakuba yincithakalo, imizi yakho ibe yihlane. Khona izwe liyakujabulela amasabatha alo, zonke izinsuku liyincithakalo, ube sezweni lezitha zakho; lapho-ke umhlaba uzophumula futhi udlale ngeMigqibelo yawo. Uzophumula zonke izinsuku eziyincithakalo, ngoba akaphumulanga ngamasabatha akho, lapho uhlala kuwo” (Lev 26:33 -35).
Kungenxa yokuthi akawuphumulanga umhlaba, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wasungula amasonto angama-70 kaDaniel, njengoba kubhalwe eNcwadini yeziKronike:
“Ukuze izwi likaJehova lifezeke ngomlomo kaJeremiya, lize izwe laneliswe ngamasabatha alo; zonke izinsuku zokubhujiswa zaphumula, yagcwaliseka iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa.” (2 IziKr. 36:21).
Isikhalazo sikaMalaki ngokuletha konke okweshumi esikhwameni semali kudala ngemuva kokudingiswa eBhabhiloni (Mal 3:10). Umprofethi uMalaki wayephila ngesikhathi esifanayo no-Ezra noNehemiya, esikhathini esingemuva kokudingiswa, lapho izindonga zaseJerusalema zase zakhiwe kabusha, cishe ngonyaka ka-445 ngaphambi kukaKhristu.
IBhayibheli licacile:
“Njengenyoni ezulazulayo, njengenkonjane endiza, kanjalo isiqalekiso ngaphandle kwesizathu ngeke size”. (IzA 26: 2)
Ngabe isiqalekiso sehlela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngesenzo samademoni? Akunjalo! Amademoni aqalekisiwe ngokwemvelo, kepha awazona izimbangela zeziqalekiso esintwini. Imbangela yesiqalekiso eyehlele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukungalaleli imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, eyanikezwa nguMose. Ukuhlasela kweBabiloni kwenzeka kuphela ngenxa yokungalaleli kuka-Israyeli hhayi isenzo samademoni!
Kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uNkulunkulu waphakamisa izibusiso neziqalekiso kanti isiqubulo sokuzithola kwakungukulalela nokungalaleli. Imbangela yesiqalekiso kwaba ukungalaleli, ngoba ngaphandle kwesiqalekiso ngeke sibe khona isiqalekiso.
Futhi ngubani owasungula isiqalekiso? UNkulunkulu uqobo!
“Kuyakuthi-ke uma ungalaleli izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ukuze ungagcini ukugcina yonke imiyalo yakhe nezimiso zakhe engikuyala ngakho namuhla, zonke lezi ziqalekiso ziyakufika phezu kwakho, zikufice; Damn wena edolobheni futhi damn wena ezweni. Kulahla ubhasikidi wakho kanye ne-kneader yakho. Siqalekisiwe isithelo sesizalo sakho, nezithelo zomhlaba wakho, nenzalo yezinkomo zakho, neyezimvu zakho. Uzoqalekiswa lapho ungena futhi uqalekiswa lapho uhamba. UJehova uyakuthuma isiqalekiso phezu kwakho; ukudideka nokwehlulwa kukho konke obeka isandla sakho ukukwenza; uze ubhujiswe futhi uze ubhubhe ngokuzumayo ngenxa yobubi bemisebenzi yakho ongishiye ngayo.” (Duteronomi 28: 15-20)
Kuyiqiniso ukuthi, ngaphandle kwesizathu, akukho siqalekiso!
Ukunikela kwezezimali esikhungweni esinikeziwe akukhululi muntu emadimonini, eziqalekisweni, esweni elibi, njll. Imiyalezo enjalo iyakhohlisa ukuxhuma leyo elula. Akungenxa yokuthi awunalo ulwazi lokuthi ngeke ujeziswe:
“Abaxwayisiwe babona okubi bacashe; kepha abangenacala bayadlula, bahlupheke ngakho.” (IzA 27:12)
Ukufuna ukungazi phambi kukaNkulunkulu akukhululi muntu emiphumeleni. Ngakho-ke isidingo sokuthi umuntu anake izwi likaNkulunkulu.
Kepha, kukhona labo abezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu, noma kunjalo, banquma ukuhamba ngokwalokho okushiwo yizinhliziyo zabo ezikhohlisayo, becabanga ukuthi bazoba nokuthula. Inkohliso enkulu, ngoba isibusiso seNkosi ngesalabo abalalela izwi Layo.
“Futhi kungenzeka ukuthi, uma umuntu ezwa amazwi alesi siqalekiso, azibusise enhliziyweni yakhe, athi: Ngizoba nokuthula, noma ngihamba ngokombono wenhliziyo yami; ukwengeza ukoma nokuphuza.” (Duteronomi 29:19)
Isifundo esitholwa yikholwa kuKristu Jesu kulokho okwamenyezelwa emfanekisweni wesikhonyane sivezwa ngumphostoli uPawulu kwabaseKorinte:
“Futhi lezi zinto zenziwa kithi ngomfanekiso, hleze sifise izinto ezimbi njengabo.” (1 Kor 10: 6).
Kulabo abakholelwa ukuthi uJesu unguKristu, akusekho ukulahlwa, futhi lokho esikufunda kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli kwenzelwa ukuthi singenzi amaphutha afanayo. Uma kungekho ukulahlwa kothile oyisidalwa esisha, kuqinisekile ukuthi ucashile noKristu kuNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke, akudingeki esabe amadimoni, iziqalekiso, njll.
Noma ngubani okuKristu omubi akamthinti, ngoba ucashile noKristu, kuNkulunkulu:
“Siyazi ukuthi wonke umuntu ozelwe nguNkulunkulu akoni; kodwa okwenziwe nguNkulunkulu kuyazigcina, futhi omubi akathinti.” (1 Johane 5:18);
“Ngoba usuvele ufile futhi impilo yakho ifihlwe noKristu, ikuNkulunkulu.” (Kol 3: 3)
Bonke abakholwa kuKristu babusisiwe ngazo zonke izibusiso ezingokomoya kuKristu Jesu (Efe. 1: 3), ngakho-ke asikho isidingo sokwesaba isenzo samademoni.
Isiqalekiso kuphela esingafinyelela kumuntu okholwayo ukuzivumela akhohliswe ngabantu abathi, ngobuqili, bazikhohlise ngokwabo, basuke eqinisweni levangeli (Eph 4:14; 2 Pet 2: 20-21), ngakho-ke, maqondana izinto, ungaphezu kokuwina, futhi asikho isidalwa esingamhlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu, olukuKristu.
“Kepha kukho konke lokhu, singabanqobi ngalowo wasithandayo. Ngoba ngineqiniso lokuthi ukufa, noma impilo, noma izingelosi, noma izikhulu, noma amandla, noma okukhona, noma ikusasa, noma ukuphakama, noma ukujula, noma esinye isidalwa, akusikwazi ukusihlukanisa sothando lukaNkulunkulu, olukuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu ”(Rom. 8: 37-39).
