Incwadi kaDaniyeli — Inombolo Yeshumi Nane

Emlandweni wombiko wengelosi yesibili owaqala ngo-11 Septhemba 2001, kukhona isikhathi esithile nenqubo yokuvivinywa emelwe ngokomfanekiso njengephupho lesithombe sikaNebukadinesari sezilwane; ngokuba embusweni wesiprofetho seBhayibheli umbuso futhi uyisilwane. UNebukadinesari nezikhulu zenkolo zabaKaledi bamele labo abahluleka ekuvivinyweni, kanti uDaniyeli kanye namadoda amathathu afaneleyo bamele labo abaphumelela ekuvivinyweni. Kungabonakala kungesiyo leyo ndlela, kodwa ukwehluleka kukaNebukadinesari kuqinisekiswa esahlukweni sesithathu sikaDaniyeli.

Esahlukweni sesibili sikaDaniyeli, uDaniyeli wayekhuleka ukuze aqonde “imfihlakalo” efihlekile yephupho lesithombe sikaNebukadinesari. Wayedinga ukwazi ukuthi iphupho laliyini, kanye nokuthi lalisho ukuthini. Umele labo ezinsukwini zokugcina abafuna ukuqonda izimfihlakalo ezihambisana nokwambulwa kweSambulo sikaJesu Kristu, ngokuba ukwambulwa kweSambulo sikaJesu Kristu kuyiyo “imfihlakalo” yokugcina yesiprofetho eyambulwayo ngaphambi kokuba kuvalwe isikhathi somusa. Bonke abaprofethi, kuhlanganisa noDaniyeli, bakhomba ezinsukwini zokugcina. Umzamo kaDaniyeli wokuqonda “imfihlakalo” wawungumzamo wokuphila noma wokufa, njengoba kunjalo novivinyo lomfanekiso wesilo kubantu bakaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina.

Umkhuleko kaDaniyeli, ngesikhathi efuna ukuqonda “imfihlo,” umelela uphawu lwendlela oluthile emlandweni wabantu bakaNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zokugcina. Incwadi kaDaniyeli inikeza ofakazi ababili abamisa uphawu lwendlela “lomkhuleko” ezinsukwini zokugcina. Lolo phawu lwendlela lutholakala esikhathini esimelelwa umlayezo wesibili womugqa ngamunye wenguquko.

Uvivinyo lwesithombe sesilo luchazwe ngu-Ellen White njengovivinyo okumelwe siludlule ngaphambi kokuba isikhathi somusa sivale, nangaphambi kokuba sibekwe uphawu. Lapho umculo uqala ukudlala kuDaniyeli isahluko sesithathu, isikhathi somusa savalwa ngokomfanekiso, ngokuba isahluko sesithathu simelela umthetho weSonto. Umculo kaNebukadinesari umelela ihubo isifebe saseTire esesiqala ukulihuba emakhosini omhlaba ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa engokomfanekiso esase sikhohliwe ngayo.

Emlandweni wenqubo yokuvivinywa, uDaniyeli umele isithunywa esinikezwe ukukhanya asabelana ngakho kuqala nabangane bakhe abathathu, ngaleyo ndlela efanekisa indima yesiprofetho ka-“Elija”, oyilo “izwi elimemezayo ehlane”.

“Imfihlo” yesahluko sesibili sikaDaniyeli ikhomba ukuthi umbuso wesishiyagalombili wesiprofetho seBhayibheli “ungowayisikhombisa” imibuso. Njengoba uyisifanekiselo sokuqala semibuso yesiprofetho seBhayibheli, ngalokho uxhumana nesifanekiselo sokugcina semibuso yesiprofetho seBhayibheli esitholakala esahlukweni seshumi nesikhombisa seSambulo. Umbuso wesishiyagalombili, njengoba “ungowalezo eziyisikhombisa” ezandulelayo, ukhuluma ngalelo phuzu lokuguquka elisungula iBhabhiloni lanamuhla njengobunye obuphindwe kathathu bukadrako, besilo, nomprofethi wamanga. Iphupho lesithombe likaNebukadinesari ekugcineni likhomba umbuso wesishiyagalombili wasemhlabeni emlandweni wesiprofetho.

Umbuso uyisilo esiprofethweni leBhayibheli, ngakho iqiniso elimelelwe yiphupho lesithombe sikaNebukadinesari liyisibhekiselo sokuqala sesilo sokugcina, njengoba futhi kuchazwe eSambulweni isahluko seshumi nesikhombisa. Ngakho-ke, iphupho likaNebukadinesari ekugcineni liyiphupho lomfanekiso wesilo sesishiyagalombili nesokugcina. Liyiphupho “lomfanekiso wesilo”.

Uphawu lwesine lokwahlulela kwakuyisiphambano, olwaluphinde lube ukufa nokuvuka. Isikhathi salezo ziphawulo ezine simelelwa yiminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa yokuthunjwa kukaDaniyeli.

NgoSepthemba 11, 2001, ubuSulumane be-“Maye” yesithathu badedelwa, base beboshwa futhi. UJulayi 18, 2020, wawuyisiprofetho esihlulekile mayelana nendima yobuuSulumane. Umlayezo oletha amathambo omile afileyo ekuphileni uvela “emimoyeni emine”, eyisibonakaliso sobuSulumane futhi emele umlayezo Wokukhala Kwaphakathi Kwamabili. Ukubhujiswa kwesizwe okulandela ukuhlubuka kwesizwe komthetho weSonto e-United States kuletshwa ubuSulumane be-“Maye” yesithathu. Isikhathi salezo zimpawu ezine zomgwaqo simelwe yiminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa yokuthunjwa kukaDaniyeli.

Ukunyakaza kwengelosi yokuqala kumelela ukunyakaza kwengelosi yesithathu, futhi umlayezo Wokukhala Kwaphakathi Kobusuku emlandweni wamaMillerite wawuyisilungiso sesibikezelo esaphumelela ukuhluleka esaholela ekudumazekeni kokuqala.

“Ukunikwezwa amandla” kwesigijimi sokuqala emlandweni wamaMillerite kwakuyi-Islamu yoMaye wesibili, futhi lokho kunikwezwa amandla kwakungumfanekiso wokunikwezwa amandla kwangoSepthemba 11, 2001, okwalethwa yi-Islamu yoMaye wesithathu.

Amacilongo AyisiKhombisa eSambulo ayeyizahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu phezu kokuphoqelelwa kokukhulekwa kweSonto ngeSonto yibo bobabili iRoma yobuqaba neRoma yobupapa.

Ukuqaphela umlayezo Wokukhala Kwaphakathi Kwamabili kuyisici esiyinhloko “semfihlakalo” eyambulelwa uDaniyeli ngomfanekiso, lapho ekhuleka ukuba aqonde iphupho lesithombe likaNebukhadinezari. Umkhuleko wakhe uyisibonakaliso sendlela esitholakala ekupheleni kwezinsuku ezintathu nengxenye zokufa zofakazi ababili beSambulo ishumi nanye. Umkhuleko kaDaniyeli kaLevitikusi amashumi amabili nesithupha, njengoba ulotshiwe esahlukweni sesishiyagalolunye, wawungonyaka wokuqala kaDariyu. Lokhu kubeka imikhuleko yakhe ezindaweni zokuguquka.

Iphuzu lenguquko emlandweni wamaMillerite kwakungu-1856, lapho inhlangano yamaMillerite yaguquka isuka ePhiladelphia iya eLaodicea ngokukaJames no-Ellen White. Ngawo lowo nyaka kwafika “ukukhanya okusha” mayelana “nezikhathi eziyisikhombisa” ezihlokweni zikaHiram Edson ze-Review and Herald, kodwa ngo-1863 (“izikhathi eziyisikhombisa” kamuva), “izikhathi eziyisikhombisa” zaliwa ngokuphelele. UDaniyeli wakhuleka “umkhuleko” ohlonzwa ngokuthi “ikhambi” “lokusakazwa” “kwezikhathi eziyisikhombisa” ephuzwini lenguquko phakathi kombuso wokuqala nowesibili wesiprofetho seBhayibheli.

Okuthathu nesigamu kuwuphawu lweminyaka eyinkulungwane namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha, yona futhi ewuphawu “lwezikhathi eziyisikhombisa.” NgoJulayi 18, 2020, inhlangano yamaLawodikeya ye-Future for America yabonakalisa ukuvukela umyalo kaNkulunkulu wokuthi kungaphinde futhi kuxhonywe umlayezo wesiprofetho phezu kwesikhathi. Inhlangano yabe “ibulawa” futhi “ihlakazeka” emgwaqweni weSambulo ishumi nanye, odlula esigodini sikaHezekeli samathambo omile afileyo. Ekupheleni kwaleso sikhathi “sokuhlakazeka,” esibuye sibe “yisikhathi sokulibala” somfanekiso wezintombi eziyishumi, manje sebebizwa baphume emathuneni abo “ngezwi elimemezayo” livela ngaphakathi “ehlane” lezinsuku “ezintathu nesigamu.”

Lapho lowo mthandazo wokuphenduka nowokuvuma usufeziwe, isithembiso sithi uNkulunkulu uyobe esekhumbula isivumelwano saKhe futhi aqoqe abantu baKhe abahlakazekile. Isiprofetho sikaHezekeli sokuqala saqoqa amathambo ndawonye, kwase kuthi isiprofetho sakhe “somoya abane” siguqule labo “baseFiladelfiya” abasanda kuzalwa baba ibutho elinamandla kakhulu… ibutho elinamandla kakhulu elathi, ngokwesAmbulo 11, lase lizakuthi “liphakanyiselwe ezulwini” “ngefu lezingelosi”. Khona-ke bona bangaba “uphawu” lweNkosi.

Labo abayoba “uphawu” kumelwe baphenduke ekusetshenzisweni kwe“zikhathi nezinkathi”, uma befuna ukwamukela amandla kaMoya oNgcwele okufeza umsebenzi “wophawu”.

Sekuyisikhathi eside kuqondwa ukuthi imiDumo EyisiKhombisa imelela “ukuchazwa kwezehlakalo ezenzeka ngaphansi kwemiyalezo yezingelosi zokuqala nezesibili,” nokuthi futhi imelela “izehlakalo zesikhathi esizayo ezaziyokwambulwa ngokulandelana kwazo.” Manje sekwambulwe ngeSambulo “seqiniso,” ukuthi izimpawu zendlela ezintathu zokugcina zomugqa wokuvuselelwa zingumlando “ofihliweyo” weMiDumo EyisiKhombisa. Lezo zimpawu zendlela ziqala ngokudumala “kokuqala” futhi ziphethe ngokudumala “kokugcina.” Uphawu lwendlela oluphakathi luyiSikhalo Saphakathi Kobusuku. Ukudumala kokuqala kuphawula ukuqala “kwesikhathi sokulinda”, esiphela eSikhalweni Saphakathi Kobusuku. Umlayezo weSikhalo Saphakathi Kobusuku uphela “ekwahluleleni” lapho kuphawulwa khona ukudumala kokugcina.

“Isahlulelo” sikaNebukadinesari sephupho nencazelo uDaniyeli ayethulile siphawula owesithathu ezimpawini ezintathu ezimelela “umlando ofihlekile” weZidumo EziyisiKhombisa. Leso sahlulelo siphinde sithathwe kuDaniyeli isahluko sesithathu, esimela umgomo osetshenziswa ngokuqinile ezincwadini zikaDaniyeli neSambulo, lowo mgomo uthi “phinda futhi wandise”.

“Umlando ofihlekile” “wabafakazi ababili”, abamele inhlangano ye-Future for America, umele ukudumazeka kwangoJulayi 18, 2020. Khona-ke kwaqala “isikhathi sokubambezeleka” njengoba simelwe “izinsuku ezintathu nengxenye” eSambulweni isahluko seshumi nanye. Ukuvuswa nokuvuka kwalabo “ababulelwa emigwaqweni” yisilo esakhuphuka “emgodini ongenamkhawulo” kuchazwe ngokucacile ngokukhethekile eZwini likaNkulunkulu lesiprofetho; kodwa ezingeni elilula, lapho abafakazi ababili bevuka, bayaqonda “imfihlo” emelwe kuDaniyeli isahluko sesibili.

Sizophothula isifinyezo nesiphetho sesahluko sesibili sikaDaniyeli esihlokweni esilandelayo.
