Ukwehla kwengelosi ngo-Agasti 11, 1840, okwangenisa ukunyakaza lwango-1840 kuya ku-1844, uDade White alubiza ngokuthi ukubonakaliswa okukhazimulayo kwamandla kaNkulunkulu, kwakufanekisa uSepthemba 11, 2001 futhi kwakhomba ukubonakaliswa okukhazimulayo kwamandla kaNkulunkulu.
“Ingelosi elihlanganyela ekumemezeleni umlayezo wengelosi yesithathu limelwe ukukhanyisa umhlaba wonke ngenkazimulo yalo. Lapha kubikezelwa umsebenzi wobubanzi bomhlaba wonke nowamandla angajwayelekile. Inhlangano yokubuya kukaKristu yeminyaka ka-1840–44 yayiyisibonakaliso esikhazimulayo samandla kaNkulunkulu; umlayezo wengelosi yokuqala wafinyelela kuzo zonke iziteshi zobuvangeli emhlabeni, futhi kwamanye amazwe kwaba khona ukuvuka kwenkolo okukhulu kunakho konke okuke kwabonakala kunoma yiliphi izwe kusukela eNguqukweni yenkolo yekhulu leshumi nesithupha; kodwa lokhu kuyodlulwa ukunyakaza okunamandla ngaphansi kwesexwayiso sokugcina sengelosi yesithathu.” The Great Controversy, 611.
Ukufika kokuqala kwengelosi yesithathu ngo-Okthoba 22, 1844 (iKadeshi yokuqala), kwakungokokuqeda umsebenzi, kodwa abantu bakaNkulunkulu bakhetha ukuzikhethela umholi omusha nokubuyela eGibhithe. Ngo-1863, base “bakhe kabusha iJeriko”, esikhundleni sokuhlanganyela emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu wokuwisa phansi izindonga zeJeriko. Ngakho-ke baqalekiswa ngokufa ehlane.
UJoshuwa wabafungisa ngaleso sikhathi, wathi: “Makaqalekiswe phambi kukaJehova umuntu osukuma akhe kabusha lo muzi, iJeriko; isisekelo sawo uyakusibeka ngendodana yakhe yokuqala, namasango awo uyakuwamisa ngendodana yakhe encane.” Joshuwa 6:26.
Njengaku-Israyeli wasendulo eKadeshi lokuqala, ababewalile umyalezo kaJoshuwa noKalebi, ukuvukela kuka-Israyeli wanamuhla eKadeshi lokuqala (1863), kwehlisela phezu kwabo isiqalekiso sikaJoshuwa. Lapho ingelosi yesithathu ibuya ngoSepthemba 11, 2001 (iKadeshi lokugcina), kwaqala umsebenzi wokugcina ngaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu awehlise iJeriko nezindonga zalo.

Kusukela kulowo mthetho weSonto kuze kuvalwe isikhathi sokuhlolwa kwabantu, iJeriko nezindonga zalo kuyowiswa phansi, ngokuvumelana nesahlulelo sokuphatha esiphezu kwesifebe saseBabiloni esimelelwe kulowo mlando. Ivesi lamashumi amane liqala ngo-1798, futhi liphetha ngomthetho weSonto osuseduze ukufika evesini lamashumi amane nanye. Isikhathi sokuphela ngo-1798 simelela umugqa wangaphakathi webandla likaNkulunkulu, siqala ngamaMillerite omnyakazo wengelosi yokuqala kuze kufike emnyakazweni wengelosi yesithathu nakulabo abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane. Konke kusevesini elilodwa.

Ulayini womlando wesiprofetho omelwa ngu-1798 umele ngokuyinhloko ukwahlulela kophenyo, kanti ulayini oqala kuleyo ndawo efanayo ngo-1989 umele ngokuyinhloko ukwahlulela kokugwetshwa kokugcina.

Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, kusho uJehova, lapho ngiyakwenza khona isivumelwano esisha nendlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda; kungabi njengaleso sivumelwano engasenza nawoyise ngosuku engababamba ngalo ngesandla ukuze ngibakhiphe ezweni laseGibhithe; isivumelwano sami abasiphulayo, nakuba ngangiyindoda yabo, kusho uJehova. Kepha lesi yisivumelwano engiyakusenza nendlu ka-Israyeli emva kwalezo zinsuku, kusho uJehova: ngiyakufaka umthetho wami ezingxenyeni zabo zangaphakathi, ngiwulobe ezinhliziyweni zabo; ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, nabo babe ngabantu bami. Futhi abasayikufundisana, yilowo nalowo umakhelwane wakhe, nalowo nalowo umfowabo, bethi: Yazi uJehova; ngokuba bonke bayakungazi, kusukela komncane kubo kuze kufike komkhulu kubo, kusho uJehova; ngokuba ngiyakuthethelela ububi babo, nesono sabo angisayikusikhumbula. Jeremiya 31:31–34.
Bonke abaprofethi bakhomba izinsuku zokugcina, futhi inkulumo ethi “izinsuku zokugcina,” esiprofethweni imelela inkathi yokwahlulela. Ingelosi yokuqala yafika ngo-1798, ngesikhathi sokuphela, ukumemezela ukuvulwa kokwahlulela ngo-1844, okuwukufika futhi kwezinsuku zokugcina. Izinsuku zokugcina ziyizo “izinsuku” zikaJeremiya ezizayo, lapho uNkulunkulu eyakuthi “athethelele” “ububi” futhi “angabe esakhumbula” izono zabantu baKhe. Lowo msebenzi ufezwa nguKristu, njengomPristi oMkhulu ngosuku lokubuyisana olungumfuziselo ogcwalisekile, phakathi “kwezinsuku zokugcina.”
Ukube ubu-Adventism bamaMillerite babuqhubekile ngokukholwa ukuhamba ekukhanyeni okuqhubekela phambili kwengelosi yesithathu eyafika ngo-Okthoba 22, 1844, babeyobe sebese khaya labo laphakade noJesu. Yilokhu uJeremiya akushoyo lapho ethi, “emva kwalezo zinsuku.” “Lezo zinsuku” ziyizikhathi zesiprofetho ezaholela ku-1844, zaze zaphethwa khona. Yizo “izinsuku” isahluko seshumi nambili sikaDaniyeli esibhekisela kuzo.
Kepha hamba indlela yakho kuze kube sekupheleni; ngokuba uyakuphumula, bese uma ezinsukwini zokugcina uyakuma esabelweni sakho. Daniyeli 12:13.
“Ekupheleni kwezinsuku,” noma njengoba uJeremiya esho, “emva kwalezo zinsuku,” uKristu wayehlose ukubeka umthetho waKhe ezingxenyeni zangaphakathi zabantu baKhe, futhi awulobe ezinhliziyweni. Lezo zingxenye zangaphakathi ziyimvelo ephansi, noma njengoba uPawulu eyibiza, inyama, futhi inhliziyo iyimvelo ephakeme. Isivumelwano sithembisa ukunikeza abantu baKhe ingqondo entsha ngesikhathi sokuguquka, nomzimba omusha ekuFikeni kwesiBili. Umuntu wawa no-Adamu, owadalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, nowadalwa enemvelo ephakeme kanye nemvelo ephansi. Isivumelwano sikaKristu siwukuhlenga isintu, kanye nemvelo yaso ephindwe kabili, esiqalekisweni sesono.
“Ezinsukwini zokugcina zomlando waleli zwe, isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu nabantu bakhe abagcina imiyalo yakhe siyakuvuselelwa. ‘Ngalolo suku ngiyakwenzela isivumelwano nabo nezilwane zasendle, nezinyoni zezulu, kanye nezinto ezihuquzelayo emhlabathini; ngiyakwephula umnsalo nenkemba nempi kuphele emhlabeni, ngibenze balale ngokulondeka. Ngiyakunxusa kuwe kuze kube phakade; yebo, ngiyakuganisela kimi ngokulunga, nangokwahlulela, nangomusa wothando, nangesihe. Ngiyakuganisela kimi nangokuthembeka; wena uyakumazi uJehova.’
“‘Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku, ngiyakuzwa, usho uJehova, ngiyakuzwa izulu, lona lizolizwa umhlaba; nomhlaba uzokuzwa okusanhlamvu, newayini, namafutha; nakho kuzolizwa uJezreyeli. Ngiyakuhlwanyela kimi emhlabeni; ngihawukele yena obengakatholi isihe; ngithi kwabangeyisizwe sami, Nina ningabantu bami; nabo bathi, Wena unguNkulunkulu wami.’ Hoseya 2:14-23.
“‘Ngalolo suku, ... insali yakwa-Israyeli, nalabo abaphunyukile bendlu kaJakobe, ... bayakuncika eNkosini, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, ngeqiniso.’ U-Isaya 10:20. Kuzo ‘zonke izizwe, nemindeni, nezilimi, nabantu’ kuyakuba khona labo abayakusabela ngenjabulo esigijimini esithi, ‘Mesabeni uNkulunkulu, nimnike inkazimulo; ngokuba ihora lokwahlulela kwakhe selifikile.’ Bayakufulathela zonke izithombe ezibabophela kulo mhlaba, futhi ‘bayakukhuleka kuye owenza izulu, nomhlaba, nolwandle, nemithombo yamanzi.’ Bayakuzikhulula kukho konke ukubanjwa nokubhajwa, beme phambi kwezwe njengezikhumbuzo zomusa kaNkulunkulu. Belalela zonke izimfuno zobuNkulunkulu, bayakuqashelwa yizingelosi nangabantu njengalabo ‘abagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, nokukholwa kukaJesu.’ IsAmbulo 14:6–7, 12.
“‘Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho umlimi oyolima eyakwedlula ovunayo, nomcindezeli wamagilebhisi amdlule lowo ohlwanyela imbewu; nezintaba ziyoconzela iwayini elimnandi, nawo wonke amagquma ayoncibilika. Ngiyakubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bami bakwa-Israyeli, bakhe imizi eyincithakalo, bahlale kuyo; bayakutshala izivini, baphuze iwayini lazo; benze nezingadi, badle izithelo zazo. Ngiyobatshala ezweni labo, bangabe besasuswa futhi ezweni labo engibanike lona, usho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho. Amose 9:13–15.’” Review and Herald, February 26, 1914.

Ngokuba ebasola, uthi: Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, kusho iNkosi, lapho ngiyakwenza isivumelwano esisha nendlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda; kungefani nesivumelwano engasenza nawoyise ngosuku engabamba ngalo isandla sabo ukuba ngibakhiphe ezweni laseGibhithe; ngokuba abahlalanga esivumelwaneni sami, nami angibanakanga, kusho iNkosi. Ngokuba yilesi isivumelwano engiyakusenza nendlu ka-Israyeli emva kwalezo zinsuku, kusho iNkosi; ngiyakufaka imithetho yami engqondweni yabo, ngiyilobe ezinhliziyweni zabo; mina ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu kubo, nabo bayakuba ngabantu kimi. Hebheru 8:8–10.
Amazwi athi “leyo minyaka” ayeyileyo kaDaniyeli ethi “ukuphela kwezinsuku,” eyagcina ngo-1798 nango-1844. Umugqa wophondo lobuProthestani oqala ngo-1798, evesini lamashumi amane likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye, ugcizelela ubudlelwano besivumelwano obumiswa nabayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane. Igama lesiHeberu elithi “lot” liyitshe elincane elalisetshenziselwa ukunquma isiphetho somuntu. UDaniyeli watshelwa ukuba ahambe ayophumula (ekufeni), kuze kube “sekupheleni kwezinsuku,” lapho, ngo-1844, ukwahlulela kwakuyoqala khona futhi isiphetho sakhe sinqunywe.
Kepha qhubeka ngendlela yakho kuze kube sekupheleni; ngokuba uyakuphumula, bese uma ekupheleni kwezinsuku kufika uyakuma esabelweni sakho. Daniyeli 12:13.

Ngoba ngomnikelo munye ubaphelelisile kuze kube phakade labo abangcweliswayo. Futhi noMoya oNgcwele ungufakazi kithi ngalokho; ngokuba emva kokuba eseshilo ngaphambili ukuthi: Lesi yisivumelwano engizakwenza nabo emva kwalezo zinsuku, isho iNkosi, ngiyakufaka imithetho yami ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngiyibhale nasezingqondweni zabo; nezono zabo nobubi babo angisayikukukhumbula futhi. Manje lapho kukhona ukuthethelelwa kwalokhu, akusekho mnikelo wesono. Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, lokhu sinesibindi sokungena endaweni engcwele kakhulu ngegazi likaJesu, ngendlela entsha nephilayo, asivulele yona ngokweveyili, okungukuthi, inyama yakhe; futhi njengoba sinomPristi oMkhulu phezu kwendlu kaNkulunkulu. Hebheru 10:14–21.

“UKristu wayazi ukuthi ukuze aqhubekisele phambili ngempumelelo icebo losindiso kwakufanele aqale umsebenzi wokuhlenga umuntu khona kanye lapho ukubhujiswa kwaqala khona. U-Adamu wawa ngokuzitika kwesifiso sokudla. Ukuze agxilise kumuntu izibopho zakhe zokulalela umthetho kaNkulunkulu, uKristu waqala umsebenzi waKhe wokuhlenga ngokuguqula imikhuba yomzimba yomuntu. Ukwehla kokulunga kanye nokonakala kohlanga ngokuyinhloko kubangelwa ukuzitika kwesifiso sokudla esiphambukisiwe.” Testimonies, volume 3, 486.

Lapho izinti ezimbili zikaHezekeli zihlanganiswa zibe yinduku eyodwa kuze kube phakade, lokhu kukhomba isivumelwano lapho uKristu esusa isono kubantu Bakhe kuze kube phakade, futhi izimo zemvelo eziphakeme neziphansi zibuyiselwa esakhiweni esifanele sobukhosi bokuhleleka, futhi abantu baphinde babe ngabaphelele.

Sizoqhubeka nalesi sifundo esihlokweni esilandelayo.
Izwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi, lathi, Futhi wena, ndodana yomuntu, zithathele induku eyodwa, ubhale phezu kwayo ukuthi, NgeyakaJuda, nangeyabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abangabalingane bakhe; bese uthatha enye induku, ubhale phezu kwayo ukuthi, NgeyakaJosefa, induku ka-Efrayimi, nangenxa yayo yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli abangabalingane bakhe; uzihlanganise enye kwenye zibe yinduku eyodwa; ziyakuba yinye esandleni sakho. Kuthi lapho abantwana babantu bakho bekhuluma kuwe, bethi, Awuyikusitshela yini ukuthi usho ukuthini ngalezi zinto na? uthi kubo, Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova; Bheka, ngiyakuyithatha induku kaJosefa, esesandleni sika-Efrayimi, nezizwe zakwa-Israyeli abangane bakhe, ngizihlanganise nayo, kanye nenduku kaJuda, ngizenze zibe yinduku eyodwa, futhi ziyakuba yinye esandleni sami. Lezo zinduku obhala kuzo ziyakuba sesandleni sakho phambi kwamehlo abo. Uthi kubo, Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova; Bheka, ngiyakubathatha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli phakathi kwezizwe lapho beye khona, ngibabuthele nxazonke zonke, ngibalethe ezweni labo siqu; ngibenze babe yisizwe esisodwa ezweni, phezu kwezintaba zakwa-Israyeli; inkosi eyodwa iyakuba yinkosi kubo bonke; abasayikuba yizizwe ezimbili, futhi abasayikwehlukaniswa babe yimibuso emibili nakancane. Futhi abasayikuzingcolisa ngezithombe zabo, nangezinto zabo ezinyanyekayo, nangazo zonke iziphambeko zabo; kepha ngiyakubasindisa kuzo zonke izindawo zabo zokuhlala, lapho bonile khona, ngibahlanze; ngaleyo ndlela bayakuba ngabantu bami, nami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo. UDavide inceku yami uyakuba yinkosi phezu kwabo; bonke bayakuba nomalusi oyedwa; bayakuhamba futhi ezahlulelweni zami, bagcine izimiso zami, bazenze. Bayakuhlala ezweni engalinika uJakobe inceku yami, lapho oyihlo bahlala khona; bayakuhlala kulo, bona, nabantwana babo, nabantwana babantwana babo kuze kube phakade; inceku yami uDavide iyakuba yisikhulu sabo kuze kube phakade. Futhi ngiyakwenza nabo isivumelwano sokuthula; siyakuba yisivumelwano esiphakade nabo; ngibamise, ngibandise, ngibeke indawo yami engcwele phakathi kwabo kuze kube phakade. Nethabernakele lami liyakuba nabo; yebo, ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami. Izizwe ziyakwazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngingcwelisa u-Israyeli, lapho indawo yami engcwele isiphakathi kwabo kuze kube phakade. Hezekeli 37:15–28.
