Umlando Ofihlekile Wevesi Lamashumi Amane—Inombolo Engamashumi Amabili Nesishiyagalolunye

Mina Johane ngabona umuzi ongcwele, iJerusalema elisha, wehla uvela kuNkulunkulu uphuma ezulwini, ulungisiwe njengomlobokazi ehlotshiselwe indoda yakhe. Ngase ngizwa izwi elikhulu livela ezulwini lithi: Bheka, itabernakele likaNkulunkulu likubantu, futhi uyakuhlala nabo, bona bayakuba ngabantu bakhe, noNkulunkulu uqobo uyakuba nabo, abe nguNkulunkulu wabo. UNkulunkulu uyakwesula zonke izinyembezi emehlweni abo; ukufa akusayikuba khona, nokudabuka, nokukhala, nobuhlungu nakho akusayikuba khona; ngokuba izinto zakuqala sezidlulile. Lowo owayehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi wathi: Bheka, ngenza konke kube kusha. Wabuye wathi kimi: Bhala; ngokuba lawa mazwi aqinisile futhi athembekile. Wayesethi kimi: Sekwenzekile. Mina ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphetho. Lowo owomileyo ngiyakumnika ngokukhululekile emthonjeni wamanzi okuphila. Onqobayo uyakudla ifa lazo zonke izinto; mina ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wakhe, yena abe yindodana yami. Kepha amagwala, nabangakholwayo, nabanengekayo, nababulali, neziphingi, nabathakathi, nabakhonza izithombe, nawo wonke amanga, bayakuba nesabelo sabo echibini elivutha umlilo nesibabule; okungukufa kwesibili. Kwase kufika kimi omunye wezingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezazinezitsha eziyisikhombisa zigcwele izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, yakhuluma nami, yathi: Woza lapha, ngizokukhombisa umlobokazi, umkaWundlu. IsAmbulo 21:2–9.

Kwathi futhi ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngosuku lweshumi lwenyanga, izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi, … Izwi likaJehova lafika futhi kimi, lathi, Ndodana yomuntu, bheka, ngiyakuthathela ngesibhaxu isifiso samehlo akho; nokho awuyikukulila, futhi awuyikukhala, nezinyembezi zakho aziyikugeleza. Bamba ukukhala, ungenzi ukulila kwabafileyo, bopha isigqoko sekhanda lakho kuwe, ufake izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ungazimbozi izindebe zakho, futhi ungadli isinkwa sabantu. Ngakho ngakhuluma kubantu ekuseni; kwathi kusihlwa umkami wafa; ngase ngenza ekuseni njengalokho engangiyaliwe. Abantu base bethi kimi, Awuyikusitshela yini ukuthi lezi zinto zithini kithi, njengoba wenza kanjalo na?

Ngase ngibaphendula ngathi, Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: Khuluma nendlu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova: Bhekani, ngizongcolisa indawo yami engcwele, inkazimulo yamandla enu, okufiswa ngamehlo enu, nalokho umphefumulo wenu okuhawukelayo; namadodana enu namadodakazi enu eniwashiyile ayokuwa ngenkemba. Niyokwenza njengalokho engikwenzile: aniyikuzimboza izindebe zenu, futhi aniyikudla isinkwa sabantu. Izigqoko zenu ziyakuba semakhanda enu, nezicathulo zenu zibe sezinyaweni zenu; aniyikukhala noma nilile, kodwa niyobuna ngenxa yobubi benu, nibubulelane omunye nomunye.

Ngakho uHezekeli uyisibonakaliso kini: ngokwakho konke akwenzileyo, nani niyakwenza; futhi lapho lokhu kwenzeka, niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu. Futhi wena, ndodana yomuntu, akuyikuba yini ngalolo suku lapho ngisusa kubo amandla abo, injabulo yenkazimulo yabo, okufiswa ngamehlo abo, nalokho ababeka kukho izinhliziyo zabo, amadodana abo namadodakazi abo, ukuthi lowo osindileyo ngalolo suku uyakuza kuwe ukuze akuzwise ngezindlebe zakho? Ngalolo suku umlomo wakho uyakuvulelwa kulowo osindileyo, ukhulume, ungabe usaba yisimungulu; futhi uyakuba yisibonakaliso kubo; futhi bayakukwazi ukuthi nginguJehova. Hezekeli 24:1, 15–27.

Wayesethi, Hamba, utshele lesi sizwe, uthi: Yizwani nokho, kodwa ningaqondi; nibone nokho, kodwa ningaboni ngokuqonda. Yenza inhliziyo yalesi sizwe ibe manonono, wenze izindlebe zaso zibe nzima, uvale amehlo aso; funa sibone ngamehlo aso, sizwe ngezindlebe zaso, siqonde ngenhliziyo yaso, siphenduke, siphiliswe. U-Isaya 6:9, 10.

Kepha izwi likaJehova laba kubo isiyalo phezu kwesiyalo, isiyalo phezu kwesiyalo; umugqa phezu komugqa, umugqa phezu komugqa; lapha okuncane, nalaphaya okuncane; ukuze bahambe, bawe emuva, bephulwe, babanjwe ogibeni, bathunjwe. Isaya 28:13.

Futhi abaningi phakathi kwabo bayokhubeka, bawe, baphihlizwe, bathiyelwe ngogibe, babanjwe. U-Isaya 8:15.

Amazwi kaKristu ayekhulunywe ezindlebeni zesixuku esikhulu sabantu; kodwa lapho eseyedwa, uPetru, uJohane, uJakobe, no-Andreya beza Kuye lapho ehlezi eNtabeni YemiNqumo. Bathi, “Sitshele, ziyokuba nini lezi zinto na? futhi siyokuba yini isibonakaliso sokufika Kwakho, nesokuphela kwezwe na?” UJesu akazange aphendule abafundi Bakhe ngokuthatha ngokwehlukana ukubhujiswa kweJerusalema nosuku olukhulu lokufika Kwakhe. Wahlanganisa incazelo yalezi zehlakalo ezimbili. Ukuba wayebavulele abafundi Bakhe izehlakalo zesikhathi esizayo ngendlela ayezibona ngayo, babengeke bakwazi ukumelana nalokho ababeyokubona. Ngobubele kubo wahlanganisa ndawonye ukuchazwa kwalezi zinkinga ezimbili ezinkulu, eshiya abafundi ukuba bazihlolisise bona ngokwabo incazelo yakhona. Lapho ebhekisela ekubhujisweni kweJerusalema, amazwi Akhe okuprofetha afinyelela ngalé kwaleso sehlakalo aya ekushisweni kokugcina ngalolo suku lapho iNkosi iyakuphuma endaweni Yayo ukuze ijezise izwe ngobubi balo, lapho umhlaba uyakuveza igazi lawo, ungabe usazimboza nababuleweyo bawo. Le nkulumo yonke yanikezwa, kungekhona abafundi kuphela, kodwa nalabo abayophila ezigcawini zokugcina zomlando waleli zwe.

“Ephendukela kubafundi, uKristu wathi, ‘Qaphelani ukuba kungabikho muntu onikhohlisayo. Ngokuba abaningi bayakuza ngeGama Lami, bethi, NginguKristu; bayakudukisa abaningi.’ Omesiya bamanga abaningi bayavela, bezibiza ngokuthi benza izimangaliso, bememezela ukuthi isikhathi sokukhululwa kwesizwe samaJuda sesifikile. Laba bayodukisa abaningi. Amazwi kaKristu agcwaliseka. Phakathi kokufa Kwakhe nokuvinjezelwa kweJerusalema kwavela omesiya bamanga abaningi. Kodwa lesi sixwayiso sanikezwa futhi nalabo abaphila kulesi sikhathi sezwe. Lezo zinkohliso ezasetshenziswa ngaphambi kokubhujiswa kweJerusalema zisetshenzisiwe kuyo yonke iminyaka, futhi ziyophinde zisetshenziswe futhi.”

“‘Niyozwa ngezimpi nangamahlebezi ezimpi; qaphelani ukuba ningakhathazeki; ngokuba zonke lezi zinto zimelwe ukwenzeka, kodwa ukuphela akukafiki.’ Ngaphambi kokubhujiswa kweJerusalema, abantu balwela ubukhosi obukhulu. Ababusi bembuso babulawa. Labo okwakucatshangwa ukuthi bema eduze kwesihlalo sobukhosi babulawa. Kwakukhona izimpi namahlebezi ezimpi. ‘Zonke lezi zinto zimelwe ukwenzeka,’ kusho uKristu, ‘kodwa ukuphela [kwesizwe samaJuda njengesizwe] akukafiki. Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso; futhi kuyakuba khona indlala, nezifo ezibhubhisayo, nokuzamazama komhlaba ezindaweni eziningi. Konke lokhu kungukuqala kosizi.’ UKristu wathi, Njengoba orabi bebona lezi zibonakaliso, bayozimemezela njengezahlulelo zikaNkulunkulu phezu kwezizwe ngenxa yokubamba abantu baKhe abakhethiweyo ebugqilini. Bayomemezela ukuthi lezi zibonakaliso ziyisibonakaliso sokufika kukaMesiya. Ningakhohliswa; lokhu kungukuqala kwezahlulelo zaKhe. Abantu bazibhekela bona. Abaphendukanga futhi baguquka ukuze ngibaphilise. Izibonakaliso abazivezayo njengezimpawu zokukhululwa kwabo ebugqilini ziyizimpawu zokubhujiswa kwabo.” The Desire of Ages, 628.

“Kungakabiphi amehlo ethu adonselwa eMpumalanga, ngoba kwakubonakele ifu elincane elimnyama elalingangangesigamu sobukhulu besandla somuntu, esasisazi sonke ukuthi laliyisiBonakaliso seNdodana yoMuntu.” The Day Star, 1846.

Khona inkosi yathi ezincekwini, Mbopheni izandla nezinyawo, nimthathe nimkhiphe, nimphonse ebumnyameni bangaphandle; khona kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo. Ngokuba baningi ababiziweyo, kodwa bayingcosana abakhethiweyo. Mathewu 22:13, 14.

Ngakho-ke abokugcina bayakuba ngabokuqala, nabokuqala babe ngabokugcina; ngoba abaningi babiziwe, kodwa bambalwa abakhethiweyo. Mathewu 20:16.

Nonke nina bakhileyo emhlabeni, nani enihlalayo emhlabeni, bonani, lapho ephakamisa ibhanela ezintabeni; nalapho ekhalisa icilongo, yizwani. Isaya 18:3.

Ngalolo suku abayizithulu bayakuzwa amazwi encwadi, namehlo ezimpumputhe ayakubona ephuma ekusithekeni nasebumnyameni. Isaya 29:18.

Kuyakuba nini ngibona ibhanela, futhi ngizwe umsindo wecilongo na? Ngokuba abantu bami bayiziwula, abangazanga; bangabantwana abayiziphukuphuku, futhi abanakuqonda; bahlakaniphe ukwenza okubi, kodwa ukwenza okuhle abanalwazi. Jeremiya 4:21, 22.

Memezelani lokhu endlini kaJakobe, nikumemeze kwaJuda, nithi: Yizwani manje lokhu, nina bantu abayiziwula, ningenakuqonda; eninamehlo, kodwa ningaboni; eninezindlebe, kodwa ningezwa. Jeremiya 5:20, 21.

Izwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi, lathi: Ndodana yomuntu, uhlala phakathi kwendlu ehlubukayo, enamehlo okubona, kodwa ayiboni; inezindlebe zokuzwa, kodwa ayizwa; ngokuba iyindlu ehlubukayo. Hezekeli 12:1, 2.

Ngakho-ke ngikhuluma kubo ngemifanekiso; ngokuba bebona ababoni; futhi bezwa abezwa, futhi abaqondi. Kubo kugcwaliseka isiprofetho sika-Isaya esithi: Ngokuzwa niyakuzwa, kodwa aniyikuqonda; nangokubona niyakubona, kodwa aniyikubona ngokucacileyo. Ngokuba inhliziyo yalaba bantu isiphuphuthekile, nezindlebe zabo sezisinda ukuzwa, namehlo abo bawavale; funa mhlawumbe babone ngamehlo abo, bezwe ngezindlebe zabo, baqonde ngenhliziyo yabo, baphenduke, mina ngibaphulukise.

Kepha abusisiwe amehlo enu, ngokuba ayabona; nezindlebe zenu, ngokuba ziyezwa. Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini, abaningi kubaprofethi nakubalungileyo bafisa ukubona lezozinto enizibonayo, kodwa abazibonanga; nokuzwa lezozinto enizizwayo, kodwa abazizwanga. Mathewu 13:13–17.

Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Manini ezindleleni, nibone, nibuze ngezindlela zasendulo, nithi, Iphi indlela enhle na? nihambe ngayo, khona niyakufumana ukuphumula kwemiphefumulo yenu. Kodwa bathi: Asiyikuhamba ngayo. Futhi nganibekela abalindi, ngathi: Lalelani umsindo wecilongo. Kodwa bathi: Asiyikulalela. Jeremiya 6:16, 17.

“Yonke imiyalezo eyanikezwa kusukela ngo-1840 kuya ku-1844 kufanele yenziwe ibe namandla manje, ngoba baningi abantu abalahlekelwe ukuqondisa kwabo. Imiyalezo kufanele iye kuwo wonke amabandla.

“UKristu wathi, ‘Amehlo enu abusisiwe, ngoba ebona; nezindlebe zenu, ngoba zizwa. Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini, abaprofethi abaningi namadoda alungileyo bafisa ukubona lezo zinto enizibonayo, kodwa abazibonanga; nokuzwa lezo zinto enizizwayo, kodwa abazizwanga’ [Mathewu 13:16, 17]. Ayabusiswa amehlo abona izinto ezabonwa ngo-1843 nango-1844.

“Umlayezo wanikezwa. Futhi akufanele kube khona ukubambezeleka ekuwuphindeni lo mlayezo, ngoba izibonakaliso zezikhathi ziyagcwaliseka; umsebenzi wokuphetha kufanele wenziwe. Umsebenzi omkhulu uyokwenziwa esikhathini esifushane. Maduze kuyakunikezwa umlayezo ngokumiswa nguNkulunkulu oyokhula ube yisikhalo esikhulu. Khona-ke uDaniyeli uyokuma esabelweni sakhe, anikeze ubufakazi bakhe.” Manuscript Releases, umqulu 21, 437.

Khona-ke abathile kubabhali nabaFarisi baphendula, bathi: Mfundisi, sithanda ukubona isibonakaliso esivela kuwe. Kodwa yena waphendula wathi kubo: Isizukulwane esibi nesiphingayo sifuna isibonakaliso; kepha asiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso somprofethi uJona; ngokuba njengoba uJona wayenezinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu esiswini senhlanzi enkulu, kanjalo neNdodana yomuntu iyakuba nezinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu enhliziyweni yomhlaba. Mathewu 12:38–40.

“Imicabango yoMsindisi manje yabuyela ekuzindleni ngezinto ezedlule nezizayo. Ngesikhathi abantu bezama ukuchaza lokho ababekubonile nabakuzwile ngokwemibono eyayenziwe ezingqondweni zabo, nangokokukhanya ababenaso, ‘uJesu waphendula wathi, Leli zwi alizelanga ngenxa yami, kodwa ngenxa yenu.’ Kwakuwubufakazi obuyinhloko bokuba kwakhe nguMesiya, uphawu lukaYise lokuthi uJesu wayekhulume iqiniso, nokuthi wayeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Ingabe amaJuda ayeyosuka kulobu bufakazi obuvela eZulwini eliphezulu na? Bake bacelela uMsindisi bathi, Yisiphi isibonakaliso osibonisayo ukuze sibone sikholwe? Izibonakaliso ezingenakubalwa zaziphiwe kulo lonke inkonzo kaKristu; nokho base bevimbe amehlo abo, baqinisa izinhliziyo zabo, funa baqiniseke. Isimangaliso esikhulu kunazo zonke sokuvuswa kukaLazaru asisusanga ukungakholwa kwabo, kodwa sabagcwalisa ngobubi obandayo. Futhi manje njengoba uYise wayesekhulumile, futhi bengase bengabe besacela esinye isibonakaliso, izinhliziyo zabo azithambiswanga, futhi baqhubeka benqaba ukukholwa.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 3, 79.

“Ngokuvuswa kukaLazaru, abaningi baholelwa ekukholweni kuJesu. Kwakuyicebo likaNkulunkulu ukuthi uLazaru afe, abekwe ethuneni ngaphambi kokuba uMsindisi afike. Ukuvuswa kukaLazaru kwakuyisimangaliso sikaKristu esiphakeme kunazo zonke, futhi ngenxa yaso abaningi badumisa uNkulunkulu.” Manuscript Releases, ivolumu 21, 111.

“ULazaru, omzimba wakhe wawusubonile ukubola ethuneni, kodwa manje owayethokoza ngamandla obudoda obukhazimulayo, wahola isilwane ayesigibele uMsindisi.” The Desire of Ages, 572.

“Ngivame ukukhonjiswa emfanekisweni wezintombi eziyishumi, ezinhlanu zazo ezazihlakaniphile, kanti ezinhlanu ziyiziwula. Lo mfanekiso ugcwalisekile futhi uyogcwaliseka kuze kufike nakulona kanye uhlamvu, ngoba usebenza ngokukhethekile kulesi sikhathi, futhi, njengomyalezo wengelosi yesithathu, ugcwalisekile futhi uzoqhubeka uyibe yiqiniso lamanje kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.

“UBates wayengomunye wabaholi ababalulekile emhlanganweni wasenkambini wase-Exeter (New Hampshire) ngo-Agasti, 1844, lapho ‘ukukhala kweqiniso kwaphakathi kwamabili’ kwethulwa okokuqala. Kwenzeka ukuthi uBates abe ngumshumayeli okhethwe inkonzo yalokho kusa enkambini. Wayekhuthaza abalaleli bakhe ukuba bathembeke futhi ebaduduza ngokuzola ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayebavivinya nje kuphela, ukuthi babesekuseni kwesikhathi sokulinda, kanye neminye imizwa efanayo, lapho uSamuel S. Snow egibela ihhashi engena enkambini. Ehlezi eceleni kukadadewabo, uNkk. John Couch, uSnow waphinda wagcizelela ukuqiniseka kwakhe ukuthi uKristu wayeyovela ngesikhathi esimisiwe. Ethinteke kakhulu, uNkk. Couch wethusa izethameli ngokusukuma ememezela, ‘Nangu umuntu onomyalezo ovela kuNkulunkulu!’” Leroy Froom, The Prophetic Faith of our Fathers, ivolumu 4, 549.

“Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni ubonakalisa, kusukela esikhathini kuya esikhathini, ukufana okumangalisayo kukho konke ukuvuselelwa okukhulu noma kuyo yonke inhlangano yenkolo. Izimiso zendlela uNkulunkulu asebenzelana ngayo nabantu zihlala zifana njalo. Izinhlangano ezibalulekile zesikhathi samanje zinokuhambelana kwazo nalezo zesikhathi esedlule, futhi amava ebandla ezikhathini zangaphambili aqukethe izifundo zenani elikhulu zesikhathi sethu.” The Great Controversy, 343.

Jabula kakhulu, ndodakazi yaseSiyoni; memeza ngenjabulo, ndodakazi yaseJerusalema: bheka, iNkosi yakho iza kuwe; ilungile, iletha insindiso; ithobekile, igibele imbongolo, yebo, ithole, amazinyane embongolo. Zakariya 9:9.

“Uma umfundi efisa ukuqonda amathuluzi ayosetshenziswa empini eseduze ezayo, okumelwe akwenze kuphela ukulandela umlando wezindlela iRoma eyazisebenzisa ngenjongo efanayo ezikhathini ezedlule. Uma efisa ukwazi ukuthi amaPapa namaProthestani behlangene bayobaphatha kanjani labo abenqaba izimfundiso zabo eziyizimfundamkhondo, makabone umoya iRoma eyawubonakalisa ngawo maqondana neSabatha nabayivikelayo.

“Izimemezelo zobukhosi, imikhandlu emikhulu, kanye nemithetho yesonto esekelwa ngamandla ezwe kwakuyizinyathelo umkhosi wobuqaba owafinyelela ngazo esikhundleni sawo sodumo ezweni lobuKristu. Isinyathelo sokuqala somphakathi sokuphoqelela ukugcinwa kweSonto kwakuwumthetho owakhishwa nguConstantine. (A.D. 321; bheka inothi leSithasiselo ekhasini 53.) Lesi simemezelo sasifuna abantu basemadolobheni baphumule ‘ngosuku oluhloniphekileyo lwelanga,’ kodwa savumela abantu basemakhaya ukuba baqhubeke nemisebenzi yabo yezolimo. Nakuba empeleni wawungumthetho wobuqaba, waphoqelelwa yinkosi ngemva kokwamukela kwayo ubuKristu ngegama kuphela.” The Great Controversy, 574.

“Njengegagasi elikhulu lolwandle, le nhlangano yahlasela izwe lonke. Isuka emzini iye emzini, isuka emzaneni iye emzaneni, yaze yafinyelela nasezindaweni zasemakhaya ezikude, yaze abantu bakaNkulunkulu ababelindile bavuswa ngokuphelele. Ukushisekela okweqisayo kwanyamalala phambi kwalesi simemezelo njengenkungu yasekuseni enyamalala phambi kwelanga eliphumayo. Abakholwayo babona ukungabaza kwabo nokudideka kwabo kususwa, kwathi ithemba nesibindi kwaphilisa izinhliziyo zabo. Umsebenzi wawukhululekile kulokho kweqisa okuhlala kubonakala lapho kunokuthokozela komuntu ngaphandle kwethonya elibusayo lezwi noMoya kaNkulunkulu. Wawufana ngesimo nalezo zikhathi zokuzithoba nokubuyela eNkosini okwathi phakathi kuka-Israyeli wasendulo kwalandela izigijimi zokukhuza ezazivela ezincekwini zaYo. Wawuphethe izimpawu eziveza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kuyo yonke inkathi. Kwakukhona injabulo encane yokuthatheka okwedlulele, kodwa kunalokho kwakukhona ukuhlolwa okujulile kwenhliziyo, ukuvuma isono, nokulahla izwe. Ukulungela ukuhlangana neNkosi kwakuwumthwalo wemiphefumulo ehluphekayo. Kwakukhona umkhuleko ophikelelayo nokuzinikela kuNkulunkulu okungagodliwe lutho.” The Great Controversy, 400, 401.

“Isimemezelo saphakathi kwamabili asizange sithwalwe kakhulu yizingxabano, nakuba ubufakazi bemiBhalo babucacile futhi buphetha. Kwahamba naso amandla aphoqayo ayanyakazisa umphefumulo. Kwakungekho kungabaza, kungekho nokubuza. Ngesikhathi sokungena kukaKristu ngokunqoba eJerusalema, abantu ababebuthene bevela kuzo zonke izingxenye zezwe ukuzogcina umkhosi, bathutheleka eNtabeni YemiNqumo, futhi lapho sebehlangene nesixuku esasihambisa uJesu, babamba ugqozi lwaleso sikhathi, base besiza ukukhulisa isimemezelo, ‘Ubusisiwe lowo ozayo egameni leNkosi!’ [Mathewu 21:9.] Ngendlela efanayo, abangakholwayo ababethutheleka emihlanganweni yama-Adventist—abanye ngenxa yokufuna ukwazi, abanye ngenxa nje yokuhlekisa—bezwa amandla aqinisekisayo ayephelezela umlayezo othi, ‘Bheka, uMyeni uyeza!’” Spirit of Prophecy, umqulu 4, 250.

Kepha igceke elingaphandle kwethempeli ulishiye, ungalilinganisi; ngokuba linikelwe kwabeZizwe; futhi umuzi ongcwele bayakuwunyathela ngaphansi kwezinyawo izinyanga ezingamashumi amane nambili. IsAmbulo 11:2.

Ingelosi yesithathu yabalandela, isho ngezwi elikhulu, ithi: Uma noma ubani ekhuleka kuso isilo nasesifanekisweni saso, emukela uphawu lwaso ebunzini lakhe noma esandleni sakhe, lowo uyakuphuza iwayini lolaka lukaNkulunkulu, elitheliwe lingaxutshiwe enkomishini yokufutheka kwakhe; futhi uyakuhlushwa ngomlilo nangesibabule phambi kwezingelosi ezingcwele, naphambi kweWundlu. Nomusi wokuhlushwa kwabo ukhuphukela phezulu kuze kube phakade naphakade; futhi abanakho ukuphumula imini nobusuku, labo abakhuleka kuso isilo nasesifanekisweni saso, nalowo nalowo owamukela uphawu lwegama laso. Nakhu ukubekezela kwabangcwele; naba abagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nokukholwa kukaJesu. IsAmbulo 14:9–12.

“Isiprofetho esesahlukweni seshumi nanye sikaDaniyeli sesicishe safinyelela ekugcwalisekeni kwaso okuphelele. Umlando omningi osewenzekile ekugcwalisekeni kwalesi siprofetho uyophindwa.” Manuscript Releases, inombolo 13, 394.
