UEzekile uchazwa “njengomprofeti wokulila” kuba ungumqondiso waloo bantu balikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka, abathi kwisahluko sesithoba sencwadi yakhe balila (bencwina bekhala) ngenxa yamasikizi enziwa ezweni nasecaweni. Kuleso sicatshulwa siphuma kwiTestimonies esasicaphule kwinqaku elidlulileyo, uDade White wabhala wathi, “Umprofeti ngokwakhe wayengumphambukeli ezweni lasemzini, apho ulangazelelo olungenamida nenkohlakalo enoburhalarhume kwakulawula ngokugqwesileyo. Oko wakubonayo nowakuva ngengcinezelo yabantu nokungalunganga kwabakhathaza umphefumlo wakhe, waza walila kabuhlungu imini nobusuku.”

Amawaka alikhulu anamashumi amane anesine amawaka ngabo “abagxothiweyo bakwaSirayeli,” abathe basasazwa, njengoko kuboniswe ngokuthinjwa kukaHezekile. Inkqubo yokutywinwa eboniswe kuHezekile 9 iyafana naleyo ikwiSityhilelo 7, yaye zombini ezo zahluko ziboniswa njengokuba zenzeka ngemihla yokugqibela.

“Oku kutywinwa kwabakhonzi bakaThixo kuyafana noko kwaboniswa uHezekile embonweni.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.

Ukusuka etroneni, uThixo uyalela iikerubhi, zona ke zona zilawule amavili. UEzekile wayemelwe kukuqonda embonweni ukuba uThixo wayelawula, kwanakwelo xesha apho yonke into yayibonakala ikwisiphithiphithi. USista White uthi “ngendlela efanayo” emva kokubeka isakhiwo sikaThixo etroneni, elawula iikerubhi ezazisingatha imicimbi yehlabathi, njengoko echaza uYohane engcwele apho uKristu wayehamba phakathi kwamabandla asixhenxe. UEzekile noYohane bayimifuziselo yabo baphila ngexesha lokutywinwa lwabalikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka, abo, njengoko iMphefumlelo ibhala, “Imiboniso eza kwenzeka ehlabathini lethu ayikaphuphiwa nokuphuphiwa.”

Ngokuqinisekileyo, xa uDade White wabhala loo mazwi, loo mazwi ayeyinyaniso; kodwa ke ngexesha lokutywinwa afumana ukuzaliseka kwawo okugqibeleleyo. Malunga neminyaka engamashumi amabini eyadlulayo, ngaba wakhe wacinga ukuba oko ngoku kusenzeka ehlabathini ngokunxulumene nokugcwala kweenkumbi zobuSilamsi ngenene kuya kuba kusenzeka? Iinkumbi njengomfuziselo wobuSilamsi kwisahluko sesithoba seSityhilelo zibandakanya ukufuduka kwendalo kweenkumbi zaseMntla Afrika. Ezo nkumbi zixineneyo, kwindlela yazo yokufuduka yaseAfrika, zihambelana nejografi eyathatyathwa bubuSilamsi. UbuSilamsi bungowenzala kaIshmayeli, yaye unina kaIshmayeli wayenguHagare. UHagare uthetha “ukubhabha” okanye “ukusaba.” NgesiArabhu igama elo lidla ngokubhalwa ngokuthi Hajar (هاجر), yaye linxulunyaniswa nengcambu efanayo esinika igama elithi Hijra (ukufuduka/ukubaleka kukaMuhammad). Iingcambu zobuSilamsi zinxulunyaniswa kungekuphela nje nokuxinana kweenkumbi, kodwa ezo ngcambu zikwaquka intsingiselo yokufuduka. Ngaba ukhona owakhe waphupha ukuba ukufudukela ngokungekho mthethweni kwaba kukubonakaliswa kwenkumbi yobuSilamsi?

Ngaba ukho na owakhe waphupha ukuba amakomanisi ehlabathi aya kwenza umanyano neengxokolo zamaSilamsi ngoku ezichongwa njengomanyano olubomvu noluhlaza? Bobabini ubuSilamsi namandla enamba eenglobalisti enyuka ephuma enzonzobileni ngokulandelelana kwazo kwiSityhilelo 9/11, yaye enzonzobila imela ukubonakaliswa kwamandla kaSathana. Omabini la maqabane akhoyo ngoku, ngokweZibhalo zenyaniso, zizixhobo zikaSathana. UHagare wayengumYiputa, yaye uIshmayeli ngumqondiso wobuSilamsi; ngoko ke, uHagare noIshmayeli bangumqondiso womanyano lwale mihla olubomvu noluhlaza.

“‘Xa baya kube bewugqibile [begqibezela] ubungqina babo.’ Ixesha apho amangqina amabini ayemele aprofete enxibe ezirhwexayo laphela ngowe-1798. Njengoko ayesondela ekupheleni komsebenzi wawo ekusithekeni, kwakumelwe kwenziwe imfazwe kuwo ngamandla amelwe ‘lirhamncwa elinyukayo liphuma enzonzobileni engenasiphelo.’ Kumazwe amaninzi aseYurophu amagunya ayelawula eBandleni naseBurhulumenteni kangangeenkulungwane ayelawulwa nguSathana, esebenzisa ubupopu njengendlela yakhe. Kodwa apha kuziswa embonweni ukubonakaliswa okutsha kwamandla kaSathana.” The Great Controversy, 268.

Apha apha uDade White uchaza ukufika kobusoshiyali ngexesha loQhushululu lwaseFransi, ngoxa ekwaqaphela ukuba noSathana ulawula igunya lobupopu. Igunya lobupopu nalo liphuma enzonzobileni kwiSityhilelo ishumi elinesixhenxe, yaye kwisahluko sesithoba seSityhilelo, ubuSilamsi ngumsi owaphuma enzonzobileni. Inqaku lihlala limi; ngaba ukuphefumlelwa kwakuthetha ngenene ukuthi, “Imiboniso eza kwenziwa kwihlabathi lethu ayikaphuphiwa nokuphuphiwa?” Ngubani owaphupha ukuba ubuSilamsi ngoku buya kusasazeka kulo lonke elaseYurophu yaye ngoku busehlela phezu kwamazwe aseMerika? Ngaba wena waphupha ukuba iinkumbi ziya kusasazwa kuwo wonke umhlaba ngabaxhasa i-globalism beZizwe eziManyeneyo, iManyano yaseYurophu, kunye neqela leDemocratic laseUnited States?

Ngubani owakha waphupha ukuba amaziko emfundo aya koyiswa ngumfelandawonye wobukomanisi nobuSilamsi, lowo ngoku uxhaswa ngemali yeerhafu yabemi ababengazange bacinge nokucinga ukuba imali yabo yerhafu iya kusetyenziswa ukutshabalalisa isizwe esibonelela ngaloo mali yerhafu.

Ngubani owayephupha ukuba iGreat Britain iya kukhuthaza ize ixhase ukuba amantombazana amhlophe adlwengulwe ngamaqela, athinjwe aze avalelwe entolongweni kwaye abulawe yi-Islam? Abaninzi babonisa inyaniso yokuba yonke inkqubo yobukomanisi eyakha yabakho kwimbali yoluntu iye yaba kukusilela okupheleleyo, kodwa isiqhamo sobusoshiyali baseBritani sisigwebo sobusoshiyali kanye njengokuba kunjalo ukusilela kweefilosofi zoqoqosho nezopolitiko zale nkqubo.

Ngubani ngewayekhe waphupha ukuba abarhwebi bomhlaba bangavunyelwa ukuba bangenise iityhefu ukuze bafezekise ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi okungaphezu kwezigidi ezilishumi elinesixhenxe zabantu?

Ngubani owakha wacinga ukuba amadoda anjengoGeorge Soros, uBill Gates noAnthony Fauci aya kuvunyelwa ukuba afezekise izenzo zawo zobungendawo zobudemon, engajamelani nakanye nemiphumo?

Xa uDade White wathetha ukuba imiboniso eyayiza kwenzeka yayingayi kuba yinto ekhe yaphuphwa, wakuthetha oko kumxholo wexesha lokutywinwa kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka. Wayelandela amazwi akhe okuphawula ngesilumkiso sikaKristu kuMateyu amashumi amabini anesine, apho arekhoda khona esithi, “Ezi zifundo zenzelwe ukuzuza kwethu. Kufuneka sixhase ukholo lwethu kuThixo, kuba kanye phambi kwethu kukho ixesha eliya kuvavanya imiphefumlo yabantu. UKristu, esentabeni yeMinquma, wabalisa kwangaphambili imigwebo eyoyikekayo eyayiza kwandulela ukuza Kwakhe kwesibini.”

Izifundo awayesandula ukubhekisa kuzo yayiyimifanekiso kaHezekile noYohane bobabini engcweleni, befunda ukuqonda ukuba uThixo ulawula zonke izinto. Kolu dideko nakolu vukelo sele luqalile ngoku, udideko novukelo oluya kuthi lonyuke ngakumbi kuphela njengoko imbali iqhubela phambili, abo bangabathunywa bakaThixo, njengoko bemelwe kungekuphela nguHezekile noYohane etempileni, kodwa nangoIsaya, baya kukwazi ukuhamba embalini kuphela ngendlela ezukisa iNkosi ukuba baqonda ukuba kwanazo izinto esingazange sazicinga emaphupheni zisahleli ziphantsi kolawulo lukaThixo.

Ezo vili zinqamlezana nezinye iivili zibandakanya iziganeko ezingazange ziphuphelwe, yaye zizo iziganeko ezenzekayo ngexesha lokutywinwa elaqala ngo-9/11. Izifundo ezimele ukufundwa zifundwa kuphela ngabo bathi ngokholo bangene eNdalweni eNgcwele Kakhulu baze babone uKristu nokukhanya kwaKhe kukhanya kuvela kwiTyeya yoMnqophiso. Xa olo zuko lubonwa njengoko lumelwe nguDaniyeli kwisahluko seshumi, udidi oluxhamlayo ekukhanyeni lwahlulwa kwabo basabayo embonweni.

Ke mna Daniyeli ndedwa owawubonayo lo mbono; kuba amadoda ayekunye nam akawubonanga lo mbono; kodwa ukungcangcazela okukhulu kwabawela, kangangokuba basaba baza bazimela. Daniyeli 10:7.

Kuninzi ngakumbi okunokutsalwa kule ndima ikwinqaku elingaphambili, kodwa siza kuqwalasela ivili njengoko sivala eli nqaku. Siye saqaphela kwinqaku lokugqibela umqondiso wenani elingamashumi amabini anesihlanu, yaye ngaphambi koko sachitha ixesha kwinani elingamashumi amathathu. Ukukhanya okuvela encwadini kaHezekile asikokweenani ezingumqondiso nje kuphela, kodwa kufanelekile ukuba siqale siziqhelanise neminye yaloo miqondiso yamanani ngaphambi kokuba siqalise ukuzisa ukucaca koku kudideka.

Ishumi elinesixhenxe

Iziprofeto ezintathu zeminyaka emakhulu amabini anamashumi amahlanu zichonga ixesha leminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe eliqala ekupheleni kwembali yebandla laseSmirna. Ukusukela ngowama-313 ukuya kowama-330, iminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe ifuzisela ukumiselwa komfanekiso werhamncwa.

Iminyaka emakhulu mabini anamashumi amahlanu eyaqala ngowama-457 BC yaphela ngowama-207 BC, kwiminyaka elishumi emva kwedabi laseRafiya nangesixhenxe seminyaka ngaphambi kwedabi lasePaniyam. Ukusuka eRafiya ukuya ePaniyam kwakuyiminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe, yaye loo nto imele imbali efihlakeleyo yendima yamashumi amane njengoko ibekwe kwiindima zeshumi elinanye ukuya kweleshumi elinesihlanu zikaDaniyeli ishumi elinanye.

UPtolemy IV Philopator (okwabizwa kwakhona ngokuba nguPtolemy IV) wayengumlawuli owaphumelela kwiDabi laseRaphia ngowama-217 BC. Walawula njengokumkani (kananjalo njengoFaro) waseYiputa kaPtolemy ukususela ngowama-221 BC ukuya kowama-204 BC; ngoko ke walawula iminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe. Waqalisa ulawulo lwakhe ngaphambi kwedabi laseRaphia, kodwa wasweleka ngaphambi kwedabi lasePanium.

Idabi laseRaphia, elimela iMfazwe yaseUkraine, laqala ngowama-2014 xa i-United States yakhokelela uguquko lombala eUkraine. UPtolemy IV, ukumkani wasezantsi, ufuzisela uVladimir Putin, owaqala ulawulo lwakhe ngowama-2000, unyaka ongaphambi kokuba kuqale ukutywinwa kwabaliwaka elinamakhulu alikhulu anamashumi amane anesine ngowama-2001. Njengokuba kwakunjalo ngoPtolemy, uPutin waqalisa ukulawula ngaphambi kwemfazwe yaseUkraine, efuziselwe lidabi laseRaphia elaqala ngowama-2014. Phambi kwePanium, uPutin, njengoko efuziselwa nguPtolemy, uyasuswa. UPutin waqalisa ukulawula ngowama-2000, ngaloo ndlela ehambelana nokuqala kwexesha lokutywinwa elaqala kunyaka olandelayo, ngowama-2001. Iminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe engumfuziselo, njengoko imelwe nguPtolemy, ichaza ixesha uPutin alawula ngalo, yaye ulawula ngelo xesha lokutywinwa.

UTrump, omelwe sisiphelo seminyaka emakhulu mabini anamashumi amahlanu eyaqala ngowama-457 BC, umi kwakulo olo lwazi-mfihlakalo lufanayo noPutin, imbali ende ngeminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe eqala kwidabi laseRaphia. Inamba (uPutin) nomprofeti wobuxoki (uTrump) bakuloo mbali ifihlakeleyo. Kuleyo mbali irhamncwa, elimelwe njengokuba “ngabaphangi babantu bakowenu,” lifanekisela amandla opopu, limi ekupheleni kweminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe ukusuka eRaphia ukuya ePanium.

Unyaka ka-321 umele umthetho weCawa eUnited States, yaye u-321 ubekwe ngaphakathi kwexesha leminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe ukusukela kuMmiselo waseMilan ngowama-313 kude kube kukwahlulwa kobukumkani ngowama-330.

Imbali ebonakaliswayo ukususela kwiPasika Enkulu kaYosiya, njengoko ibizwa njalo, iqala umjikelo weJubili weshumi elinesixhenxe wamaYuda. Ukususela kwiPasika kaYosiya, eyiyeyona mvuselelo inkulu kwiTestamente eNdala, kuse kufikelele kuOktobha 22, kubonakalisa imbali yamaMillerite ukususela kuAgasti 11, 1840 kuse kuOktobha 22, 1844, kodwa okubaluleke ngakumbi kubonakalisa imbali ka-9/11 kuse kumthetho weCawa. Ixesha lokutywinwa kwekhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka libonakaliswa ngumjikelo weJubili weshumi elinesixhenxe ukusuka kuYosiya kuse kuOktobha 22. Ishumi elinesixhenxe luphawu olunxulunyaniswa neziganeko ezikhulu zexesha lokutywinwa, yaye inani ishumi elinesixhenxe liyindawo apho amavili kaHezekile adibana khona.

Kwimbali efihlakeleyo yendima yamashumi amane kaDaniyeli, njengoko imelwe kwiindima zeshumi ukuya kweshumi elinesihlanu zesahluko esinye, inamba inxulunyaniswa nenani elithi “17” ngolawulo lukaPtolemy. Imbali esusela kwimfazwe yaseRafiya yendima yeshumi elinanye iye kwimfazwe yaseRafiya yendima yeshumi elinesihlanu yiminyaka eli-“17”. Loo mbali ibeka uDonald Trump embindini wale minyaka ilishumi elinesixhenxe emelwe zezo mfazwe zimbini. Umfanekiso werhamncwa owenziwayo uze umiswe nguTrump eUnited States umelwa yiminyaka eli-“17” ukususela ku-313 ukuya ku-330. Kwindima yokuqala yesahluko sokuqala uHezekile ukwiminyaka yamashumi amathathu yomjikelo weJubhile we-17. Wakha waphupha na ukuba inani leshumi elinesixhenxe lalimele elinye lamavili awabonwa nguHezekile eNgcweleni kaNgcwele?

uHezekile uluphawu lwabo bathi ngexesha lokutywinwa, ngokholo, bangena eNdaweni Engcwele Kakhulu. Bangababingeleli bakaPetros.

Nani ke, njengamatye aphilileyo, nakhiwa nibe yindlu yokomoya, ububingeleli obungcwele, ukuze ninikele imibingelelo yokomoya, eyamkelekileyo kuThixo ngoYesu Kristu. 1 Peter 2:5.

Bayalelwe ukuba baveze isigidimi kubantu bakaThixo bangaphambili besivumelwano, abathi ngelo xesha badlulwe; nangona bexwayiswe kwangaphambili, abantu bakaThixo bangaphambili besivumelwano abayi kubona, bengayi kuva.

Waza wathi kum, Nyana womntu, yidla ngesisu sakho, uzalise amathumbu akho ngalo mqulu ndikunika wona. Ndaza ndawudla; emlonyeni wam wawumnandi njengobusi. Waza wathi kum, Nyana womntu, hamba uye endlwini kaSirayeli, uthethe kubo ngamazwi am. Kuba awuthunyelwanga kubantu bentetho engaqhelekanga nabolwimi olunzima, kodwa uthunyelwe endlwini kaSirayeli; awuthunyelwanga kwizizwe ezininzi zentetho engaqhelekanga nabolwimi olunzima, abamazwi abo ungenakuwava. Inene, ukuba bendikuthume kubo, ngebekuphulaphule. Ke yona indlu kaSirayeli ayiyi kukuphulaphula; kuba ayiyi kundiphulaphula mna; kuba yonke indlu kaSirayeli inobuso obungqongqo nentliziyo elukhuni. Yabona, ndibenzé ubuso bakho baqina nxamnye nobuso babo, nebunzi lakho laqina nxamnye nebunzi labo. Njengedayimani, elukhuni ngaphezu kwelitye lenyengane, ndilenze laqina ibunzi lakho; musa ukuboyika, ungadakumba ngenxa yokubukeka kwabo, nangona beyindlu enemvukelo. Hezekile 3:3–9.

UEzekile uyalelwa ukuba avakalise umyalezo kubantu bomnqophiso bangaphambili, njengoko bemelwe ngamaProtestanti embalini yamaMillerite nangebandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist laseLawodike kwimihla yokugqibela. Ukuba uyala ukuwuvakalisa loo myalezo, igazi labo bashiywe bengalunyukiswanga liya kuba phezu kwakhe.

Nyana yomntu, ndikubeke ukuba ube ngumlindi wendlu kaSirayeli; ngoko ke yiva ilizwi emlonyeni wam, uze ubalumkise ngokuphuma kum. Xa ndisithi kongendawo, Uya kufa okunene; uze wena ungamkhalimeli, ungathethi ukulumkisa ongendawo endleleni yakhe engendawo, ukuze kusindiswe ubomi bakhe; lowo mntu ungendawo uya kufela ebugwenxeni bakhe; kodwa igazi lakhe ndiya kulibiza esandleni sakho. Ke ukuba uyalumkisa ongendawo, aze angabuyi ebungendawo bakhe, naseNdleleni yakhe engendawo, uya kufela ebugwenxeni bakhe; kodwa wena uwuhlangule umphefumlo wakho. Kananjalo, xa ilungisa lithe lajika ebulungiseni balo, lenza ubugwenxa, ndibeke isikhubekiso phambi kwalo, liya kufa; ngenxa yokuba ungalilumkisanga, liya kufela esonweni salo, nobulungisa balo elabenzayo abuyi kukhunjulwa; kodwa igazi lalo ndiya kulibiza esandleni sakho. Noko ke, ukuba uyalumkisa ilungisa, ukuze ilungisa lingoni, lize lingoni, liya kuphila okunene, ngokuba lilumkisiwe; nawe uwuhlangule umphefumlo wakho. Hezekile 3:17–21.

Kwizahluko “ezilishumi elinanye” zokuqala zikaHezekile, waboniswa intshabalalo yeYerusalem, ebonakaliswe ngemibono yasemlanjeni iKebare, ethafeni naseYerusalem. Wamiselwa ukuba avakalise isilumkiso somgwebo osondelayo phezu kweYerusalem. Umyalezo wesilumkiso womgwebo osondelayo phezu kweYerusalem sisilumkiso esanikwa kuqala ibandla lama-Seventh-day Adventist laseLawodike. Isilumkiso sichaza umgwebo nokwaliwa kwabantu bakaThixo abaseYerusalem abangenalo itywina likaThixo. Isilumkiso esafaniswa noHezekile sisilumkiso somthetho weCawa oza kamsinya.

Kwezo zahluko zokuqala zilishumi elinanye apho ezi nyaniso zibekwe khona, uHezekile wenziwa isidenge, aze emva koko athethe kuphela xa uThixo emvulela umlomo ngokukodwa, yaye oku kuqhubeka de kube yintshabalalo yeYerusalem, athi emva koko aphinde akwazi ukuthetha.

Wandula ke umoya kum, wandimisa ngeenyawo zam, wathetha nam, wathi kum, Hamba, uzivalele ngaphakathi endlwini yakho. Ke wena, nyana womntu, yabona, baya kukubeka iimbophelelo, bakubophe ngazo, ungabi saphuma phakathi kwabo; yaye ndiya kwenza ulwimi lwakho lunamathele eluphahleni lomlomo wakho, ukuze ube sisimumu, ungabi ngowokubakhalimela; ngokuba bayindlu enemvukelo. Ke xa ndithetha nawe, ndiya kuwuvula umlomo wakho, uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi: Lowo uvayo makeve; nalowo walayo make ale; ngokuba bayindlu enemvukelo. Hezekile 3:24–27.

Xa iYerusalem yawa, uHezekile wayenokuphinda athethe kwakhona.

Kwathi ke ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini wokuthinjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngomhla wesihlanu wenyanga, kwafika kum osindileyo ephuma eYerusalem, esithi, Umzi ubethiweyo. Ke kaloku isandla seNkosi sasiphezu kwam ngokuhlwa, phambi kokuba lowo usindileyo afike; yaye yayiwuvulile umlomo wam, wada wafika kum kusasa; umlomo wam wavuleka, andaba sisimumu kwakhona. Hezekile 33:21, 22.

Ukuwa kweYerusalem kumela ukuwa kwebandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist laseLawodike ngemihla yokugqibela. Oko kuwa kwenzeka ngelo xesha abo babetywiniwe eYerusalem kwisahluko sesithoba besakuphakanyiswa njengelona bandla loyisayo. Abo baseLawodike abangaphakathi eYerusalem bayakhutshwa, yaye ikhulu elinamashumi amane anesine amawaka liyaphakanyiswa njengoko ubukumkani bozuko bumiselwa. Obo bukumkani bozuko babufuziselwe kukumiselwa kobukumkani bobabalo emnqamlezweni. Ubukumkani bobabalo emnqamlezweni buhambelana nobukumkani bozuko ngexesha lomthetho weCawa, yaye obo bukumkani bubini bubekwa kulandelelwano lwembali yesiprofeto olufumaneka encwadini kaHezekile. Izahluko ezilishumi elinanye zokuqala, xa uHezekile ebekwe ngaphakathi komxholo wengcwele, zimalunga nokuhlanjululwa kwebandla likaThixo njengoko abantu baKhe betshintsha besuka kwibandla elisalwa, elichazwa njengelakhiwe yingqolowa nokhula, bangene kwibandla eloyisayo, elakhiwe ngumnikelo wengqolowa wePentekoste.

Wena ke, nkosana yakwaSirayeli engahlambulukanga nenobungendawo, omhla wakho ufikile, xa ubugwenxa buya kuba nesiphelo, Itsho iNkosi uThixo ukuthi; Susa iqhiya yobukhosi, ususe nesithsaba; le nto ayisayi kuba njengokuba ibinjalo: phakamisa ophantsi, uthobe ophakamileyo. Ndiya kuyibhukuqa, ndiyibhukuqe, ndiyibhukuqe; yaye ayisayi kuba sabakho, ade afike lowo unelungelo layo; ndize ndimnike sona. Hezekile 21:25–27.

UZedekiya wayengukumkani wokugqibela wakwaYuda, yaye nguye “inkosana engendawo yakwaSirayeli, osuku lwayo lufikile” kwezi ndima. UNebhukadenetsare wayesele eza kuyithimba iYerusalem, yaye isithsaba sikaZedekiya sasiza kususwa yiBhabhiloni, eyayiza kubhukuqwa ngamaMedi namaPersi, wona aza kuthi ke abhukuqwe ngamaGrike, wona aya kubhukuqwa yiRoma. Olo bhukuqo lwesithathu lufika eRoma, eyimbali apho uKumkani “onelungelo layo” aya kwamkela isithsaba sobukumkani bobabalo ekumiselweni kwabo obo bukumkani emnqamlezweni.

“Kwindlavini engendawo ehlambelayo” kwakufikile umhla wokubalwa kokugqibela. “Susa isigqubuthelo sobukumkani,” watsho uYehova emisa umthetho, “ukhulule nesithsaba.” Kwakungekho kude kube nguKristu ngokwaKhe amise ubukumkani baKhe apho uYuda wayeza kuphinda avunyelwe ukuba abe nokumkani. “Ndiya kuyibhukuqa, ndiyibhukuqe, ndiyibhukuqe,” yayingummiselo ongcwele ngokusingisele etroneni yendlu kaDavide; “yaye ayisayi kubakho, ade afike Lowo ilungelo layo lelikaYe; ndize ndilinike Yena.” Hezekile 21:25–27.” Abaprofeti neeKumkani, 451.

Ngexesha lemvula yamva, eyaqala xa umgwebo wabaphilayo waqalayo ngomhla we-9/11, uKristu umisa ubukumkani bakhe bozuko.

“Xa ezi zingelosi zine ziyekelela, uKristu uya kumisela ubukumkani baKhe.” Spalding and Magan, 3.

Ixesha lokulungiselela liqala ngomhla wama-9/11, yaye ngexesha lomthetho weCawa intaba engcwele ezukileyo iphakanyiswa ngaphezu kwazo zonke iinduli neentaba.

Ilizwi awalibonayo uIsaya unyana ka-Amotsi malunga noYuda neYerusalem. Kothi ke ngemihla yokugqibela, intaba yendlu kaYehova imiswe encotsheni yeentaba, iphakanyiswe ngaphezu kweenduli; zize zonke iintlanga ziphuphume ziye kuyo. Kwaye izizwe ezininzi ziya kuhamba zithi, Yizani, sinyuke siye entabeni kaYehova, endlwini kaThixo kaYakobi; uya kusifundisa ngeendlela zakhe, sihambe emendweni yakhe; kuba eZiyon kuya kuphuma umyalelo, nelizwi likaYehova liphuma eYerusalem. Isaya 2:1–3.

Ngomhla we-9/11, imimoya yakhululwa yaza yabuye yabanjwa, ngaloo ndlela kuphawulwa ukuqala kokumiselwa kobukumkani bukaDaniyeli isahluko sesibini, obumelwe njengelitye eliqingqiweyo entabeni elizalisa ihlabathi lonke.

“Lo mbono wanikwa ngo-1847 ngexesha apho kwakukho bambalwa kakhulu kubazalwana bama-Advent ababegcina iSabatha, yaye nakwabo babembalwa, babembalwa ababethi ukugcinwa kwayo kubaluleke ngokwaneleyo ukuba kudwetshelwe umgca phakathi kwabantu bakaThixo nabangakholwayo. Ngoku ukuzaliseka kwaloo mbono kuyaqala ukubonakala. ‘Ukuqalisa kwelo xesha lembandezelo,’ elikhankanywe apha, akubhekiseli kwixesha xa izibetho ziya kuqalisa ukuthululwa, koko kubhekisa kwixesha elifutshane ngaphambi kokuba zithululwe, ngoxa uKristu esesengcwelweni. Ngelo xesha, ngoxa umsebenzi wosindiso usondela esiphelweni, imbandezelo iya kube isehla phezu komhlaba, yaye iintlanga ziya kuba nomsindo, sekunjalo zibanjwe zingalawuleki ukuze zingawuthinteli umsebenzi wengelosi yesithathu. Ngelo xesha ‘imvula yasekupheleni,’ okanye uhlaziyo oluvela ebusweni beNkosi, iya kuza, inike amandla ilizwi elikhulu lengelosi yesithathu, yaye ilungise abangcwele ukuba beme ngexesha apho izibetho ezisixhenxe zokugqibela ziya kuthululwa.” Early Writings, 85.

UKristu umisa ubukumkani baKhe obungunaphakade ngexesha lemvula yasemva kwexesha, yaye ubukumkani baKhe buquka ubukumkani bobabalo obamiselwa emnqamlezweni kwanobukumkani baKhe bozuko ngexesha lomthetho weCawa. UZedekiya ukuya eBhabheli (ubukumkani bokuqala), ukuya kumaMedi namaPersi (ubukumkani besibini), ukuya eGrisi (ubukumkani besithathu) kuze kuye eRoma yobuhedeni (ubukumkani besine) kubonakalisa imbali ekhokelela kubukumkani bobabalo. Loo mbali ibonakalisa ulandelelwano lwembali oluhambelanayo olusuka eRoma yoPopu (iBhabheli yomoya--ubukumkani besihlanu), luse eUnited States (amaMedi namaPersi omoya--ubukumkani besithandathu), luse kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo (iGrisi yomoya--ubukumkani besixhenxe) luze luye kumanyano oluphindwe kathathu lwenamba, lwerhamncwa, nolomprofeti wobuxoki, oluthi ngokudibeneyo lwenze iRoma yanamhlanje (iRoma yomoya--ubukumkani besibhozo obungobabasixhenxe).

Uloyiso lobo bukumkani kuDaniyeli 2 umelwe lilitye, yaye abathembekileyo bakaThixo bangamatye etempileni.

Nani ngokwenu, njengamatye aphilileyo, niyakhiwa nibe yindlu yomoya, ububingeleli obungcwele, ukuze ninikele imibingelelo yomoya, eyamkelekileyo kuThixo ngoYesu Kristu. 1 Peter 2:5.

Obo bukumkani obungunaphakade boyisa izikumkani zehlabathi, buzalise nehlabathi lonke. KuHezekile isahluko samashumi mane kuse ekupheleni kwencwadi yakhe, obo bukumkani bunye bumelwa njengetempile ezalisa ihlabathi ngamanzi obomi.

Siya kuqhubekeka ngale micimbi kwinqaku elilandelayo.
