Shabbat Shalom Brothers,

Sinemibono embalwa mayelana namasonto adlule Incwadi Yezindaba mayelana nokubhujiswa okubangelwa iziphepho zakamuva. Kwathi ngeShabbat eledlule ngathola izwi lokuthi izishingishane zishaye indawo umthwebuli wevidiyo wethu abehlala kuyo futhi esinye sashaya indawo kaJim Staleys sijika ngaphambi nje kwekhaya lakhe.

I-National Weather Service ibike ngoLwesibili ukuthi inkanyamba eyahlasela eduze kwase-Oklahoma City ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule yayiyi-EF5 twister enamandla, eyayinomoya osondele ku-295 mph.

Isishingishane esingu-EF5, inombolo ephezulu kakhulu kokuthi “Isikali se-Fujita Esithuthukisiwe se-Tornado Intensity,” inoma yisiphi isishingishane esinesivinini somoya esingu-200 mph noma ngaphezulu.

Lokhu kwehlula wonke amarekhodi omoya omhlaba ngaphandle kokufunda okungaphezu kuka-300-mph okukalwe ngesikhathi se-Moore, Okla., inkanyamba ngo-1999, ngokusho kuka-AccuWeather meteorologist u-Jesse Ferrell.

Isevisi yesimo sezulu iphinde yathi i-twister enobubanzi obungamamayela angu-2.6 ibanzi kunazo zonke ezake zaqoshwa. Ngokusho kweNational Severe Storm Laboratory, inkanyamba yaphephuka isuka kumayela kuya kumakhilomitha angu-2.6 ububanzi ngemizuzwana engu-30.

Nakulokhu izivunguvungu esibhekene nazo zinzima kakhulu futhi isikhathi ngasinye lapho zifika ziphula wonke amarekhodi adlule. Labo abayofika kamuva bayophinde baphule la marekhodi ngaphandle uma sonke siphenduka futhi sibuyela ukugcina iTorah. Futhi lokho kubandakanya Iminyaka YeSabatha.

Emasontweni adlule i-News letter bengikukhombisa ukuthi noma uligcina kahle kangakanani iSabatha nezinsuku ezingcwele, uma ungayigcini iminyaka yeSabatha uyisoni futhi usengozini yezijeziso ezizayo zikaJehova. Ngemva kokuthumela lokho ngoLwesihlanu, kwakuyiShabbat lapho izivunguvungu ziphinde zathinta e-OK naseMissouri nalezi ezingenhla.

Ingabe lokhu engikushoyo nomcimbi ongenhla kuhlobene?

Uyanquma. Uma ucabanga ukuthi usindisiwe ngenxa yegazi likaJesu, kufanele ucabange futhi. Uma ucabanga ukuthi usindisiwe ngoba wenze i-altare call, kuzomele ucabange futhi. Uma ucabanga ukuthi usindisiwe ngoba usebandleni elilungile, kufanele ucabange futhi. Uma ucabanga ukuthi usindisiwe ngoba ugcina iSabatha, cabanga futhi. Uma ucabanga ukuthi usindisiwe ngoba ugcina Izinsuku Ezingcwele ezifanele, cabanga futhi. Uma ucabanga ukuthi ulungile ngoba unguthisha weTorah, cabanga futhi. Uma ungayigcini iminyaka yeSabatha kanye nezinsuku ezingcwele kanye nosuku lwesikhombisa lwamasonto onke iSabatha lomgqibelo kanjalo neminye imithetho uyoba neziqalekiso zokungayigcini ukubhekana nayo. Ungakhetha ukuthi iyiphi ozoyithola, izibusiso ezikuLev 26:1-13 noma iziqalekiso zokungazigcini 14-39. UKHETHA!! Futhi ulapho ufunda izibusiso neziqalekiso qiniseka ukuthi ufunda kuvesi 40-46 ukuze ukwazi ukushintsha izinto uma uvuka ekugcineni, uma usinde ngendlala, impi, izifo eziwumshayabhuqe, ukushaywa, ukudlwengulwa. , ukuhlukunyezwa, isimo sezulu esibi nesibi esivamile ezindaweni eziningi. Lamavesi akutshela ukuthi ungaphenduka kanjani nokuthi kuzokwenzekani kuwe uma usukwenzile.

Kodwa khethani ngokuhlakanipha ngenxa yabantwana benu; khetha ngokuhlakanipha ngenxa yomlingani wakho. Uma ungaligcini iSabatha nezinsuku ezingcwele kanye neminyaka yeSabatha uyona futhi uJehova akenzi futhi akayikuzwa imikhuleko yezoni. Labo abakhuleka nje isivunguvungu sizobashaya, labo abangabonisanga uthando lwabo ngoJehova futhi bagcine izikhathi ezimisiwe okuyizinsuku zamasonto onke, unyaka nonyaka nenyanga yesikhombisa, uJehova akabezwa.

Cabanga ngakho, unesikhathi esisodwa sokugcina unyaka weSabatha, kanye eminyakeni eyi-7. Ukugcina Izinsuku Ezingcwele unethuba elilodwa izikhathi ezingu-7 onyakeni futhi iSabatha uligcina kanye kuphela ngesonto. Lezo zikhathi ezinde phakathi kokuzibonakalisa ungowenu kuJehova. UJakobe uthi ukukholwa kuvela kubenzi bomthetho hhayi labo abawukhulumayo kuphela.

Jak 2:12 Ngakho khulumani futhi nenze njengabazakwahlulelwa ngomthetho wenkululeko. 13 Ngoba ongenzanga umusa uzakuba lokwahlulelwa ngaphandle kwesihawu, lesihawu sizathokoza phezu kokwahlulelwa. 14 Bazalwane bami, kusizani uma umuntu ethi unokukholwa kepha engenayo imisebenzi na? Ukukholwa kungamsindisa na?

Jak 2:17 Kanjalo uma lungenayo imisebenzi, ukholo lufile ngokwalo. 18 Kodwa omunye uzakuthi: Wena unokukholwa, mina ngilemisebenzi. Ngibonise ukukholwa kwakho ngaphandle kwemisebenzi yakho, mina-ke ngizokukhombisa ukholo lwami ngemisebenzi yami. 19 Uyakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu munye, wenza kuhle; namadimoni ayakholwa, athuthumele. 20 Kodwa uyakwazi yini wena muntu oyize, ukuthi ukukholwa ngaphandle kwemisebenzi kufile? 21 U-Abrahama ubaba akalungisiswanga yini ngemisebenzi, lapho enikela ngo-Isaka indodana yakhe phezu kwe-altare? 22 Uyabona ukuthi ukukholwa kwasebenza kanye nemisebenzi yakhe, nokuthi ukholo lwapheleliswa ngemisebenzi? 23 Kwase kugcwaliseka umbhalo othi: “U-Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi kungukulunga, wabizwa ngokuthi umngane kaNkulunkulu.” 24 Niyabona-ke ukuthi umuntu ulungisiswa ngemisebenzi, kungengokukholwa kuphela. 25 Ngokunjalo-ke, uRahabi isifebe kalungisiswanga yini ngemisebenzi, esezamukele izithunywa, esezikhuphe ngenye indlela? 26 Ngokuba njengalokhu umzimba ngaphandle komoya ufile, kanjalo nokukholwa ngaphandle kwemisebenzi kufile.

Emeyili

Nawa amanye ama-imeyili engiwatholile.

Leli gama liqinisekiswe ngezindlela eziningi ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule. Isihloko sephephabhuku lakho sasinalokhu enhliziyweni yomlayezo wakho.

Siyabonga ngokuzinikela kwakho kulokho u-YHVH akubizele ukuba ukwenze futhi umemezele ukuphuthuma kosuku lwethu ngenxa yoMbuso Wakhe.

Isonto ngalinye ngithola imibuzo mayelana nalokhu noma lokhuya futhi ikakhulukazi leyo ezungeza iminyaka yeSabatha kanye neyeJubili.

Futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngithola umbuzo onzima ngempela engingakwazi ukuwuphendula emigqeni embalwa. Labo ngibeke eceleni bese ngizama ukuphendula kamuva. Izikhathi eziningi ngiyakhohlwa ngabo njengoba kuvela izinto ezintsha ezidinga ukulungiswa ngokushesha.

Umngane owayenathi e-Israel ngo-2011 futhi osanda kufika ohambeni lwe-Hebraic wabuza imibuzo embalwa enzima. Bengilokhu ngiziphendula, kodwa ziphinde ziwabeke kabusha ukuze zijule futhi zifinyelele lapho zifuna impendulo.

Ngiyakuncoma lokhu nokuqinisela kwabo kanye nesizotha ekubuzeni. Empeleni imibuzo yabo iyimpande yeningi lenu bafundi izinkinga zokuthi kungani nibambekile kuleli zinga enikulo. Umbuzo omkhulu. Futhi ngicele abanye ukuthi basize ekutholeni amagama afanele okuveza impendulo eyifanele. Futhi njengoba abaningi benu benombuzo ofanayo sizobhekana neminye imibuzo eminingi ephakanyiswa yile imeyili kuleli sonto nasemavikini azayo.

Ngakho-ke ake siqale ngencwadi yabo yakamuva futhi ngikwabelana nawe lokhu ngoba nawe unale mibuzo.

Sawubona Joe

Sekunesikhathi singakhulumisani, ngakho ngicela ungixolele uma le imeyili idla isikhathi futhi mhlawumbe iba yinde ukushaywa umoya ngezinye izikhathi. Ngibhale ngasusa futhi ngabhala kabusha futhi ngasusa amameyili amaningi kangaka kuwena esikhathini esidlule - amanye nge-imeyili futhi amanye ekhanda lami, kodwa angikaze ngibe nesibindi sokuyithumela ngempela kuze kube namuhla. Ngakho-ke...kungenzeka ngibe ngingenawo wonke amagama alungile futhi ngenxa yalokho ngibe nomsebenzi omncane, kodwa ngithemba ukuthi uzophumelela. Ngiyethemba futhi ukuthi uyayithola inhliziyo yami okuphuma kuyo le imeyili. Inhliziyo yami ikuJesu kuqala nasemsebenzini Wakhe wokuhlenga esiphambanweni, kodwa nakuwe, mfowethu ekukholweni.

Selokhu ngahlangana nawe Joe, ngithintekile ngokushisekela kwakho, uthando lwakho nolwazi lwakho. Nokho ngike ngaphatheka kabi ngento engingeke ngikwazi ukubeka umunwe kuyo. Kusukela ubhalisele izincwadi zakho zezindaba lokho ukungakhululeki sekukhule kwaba ukukhathazeka kwangempela. Ngifunda okuningi ezincwadini zenu zezindaba, kodwa kwaba khona lokhu kukhululeka okukhulayo nakuba ngangingaqondi ngokugcwele ukuthi kungani. Sengike ngafuna izikhathi eziningi ukunikela ngokwezimali kuphrojekthi yakho yesivini noma iphrojekthi yakho entsha ye-TV/DVD, kodwa angikwazanga ukuzwa ukukhululwa emoyeni wami ukwenza kanjalo. Namuhla ngicabanga ukuthi ekugcineni ngiyaqonda ukuthi kungani. Ngithandazela ukuthi u-YHVH angisize ngikubeke ngamagama akhuluma ngokucacile lokho okusenhliziyweni yami. Ngithandazela ukuthi, uma kungaba neqiniso kuyo, ukuthi inhliziyo yakho ivuleke ukulemukela.

Uma ukhumbula esikhathini esidlule ngakuthumelela i-imeyili ngibuza mayelana ne-1) ukuthi kungani iziqalekiso zazisemhlabeni wonke hhayi nje ezizweni zakwa-Israyeli kanye 2) liphi igazi likaKristu kukho konke lokhu. Le imeyili imayelana nephuzu elingu-2. Angazi ngempela ukuthi ngingazichaza kanjani ngendlela efanele, kodwa ngizozama ngakho konke engingakwenza. Ngicela uxole uma ngizwakala kakhulu 'ngifundisa' noma 'ngishumayela' - angicabangi ukuthi ngisesimweni sokunifundisa noma ukunishumayeza, kodwa ngifuna ukwabelana ngenhliziyo yami futhi ngishiye noma iyiphi imfundiso noma ukushumayela kuMoya. .

Selokhu ngajoyina le Roots yesiHebheru/ukubuyela embuthweni weTorah, ngizabalaza nokuqonda umehluko phakathi kwesivumelwano esidala nesisha. Lapho ngaphambili babecishe bafane, kusukela ngifunda ukuthi iTorah iseyisisekelo sesivumelwano esisha, ngiye ngazabalaza nabo ngokungafani nakancane. Nakimi lokho akuzange kube nengqondo, njengoba ukufika kukaJesu nesiphambano kubonakala emibhalweni njengenkathi yoshintsho nesenzakalo abaprofethi ababesilangazelela kodwa babengenalo ilungelo lokusizwa. Ngamafuphi ukuqonda kwami ​​namuhla yilokhu. Umthetho kaMose wawuqukethe imiyalelo, izimiso nezimiso (ngizomane ngibhekisele kuzo njengemiyalo) kanye nesijeziso/iziqalekiso zokwephula le mithetho. Lezo ziqalekiso zenezelwa ngenxa yesiphambeko nobulukhuni benhliziyo yabantu futhi zasebenza “njengomfundisi wesikole” kwaze kwaba yilapho uKristu efika. Ngemva kokuza kuKristu asisekho ngaphansi komphathi wesikole (futhi yebo umfundisi AKUYONA imiyalo ka-YHVH njengoba amaKristu amaningi ekholelwa). Engikuqondayo ukuthi kusho ukuthi asizidingi lezo ziqalekiso/ukwesaba isijeziso ukuze sihlale sisemgqeni njengoba sinezinhliziyo ezisokiwe kanye noMoya ohlala ngaphakathi esinikela kuye ngokuzithandela ukulalela njengoba ebhala ezinhliziyweni zethu. Hhayi njengoba umuntu esiyala nakuba leyo mfundiso ngezinye izikhathi ingaba msulwa futhi ibe yiqiniso, kodwa njengoba uMoya usiyala, ngoba kungaleso sikhathi kuphela okungavela ekukholweni nasenhliziyweni yothando. Noma yikuphi okunye ukulalela okuvela ekulandeleni umuntu noma ekwesabeni okuphoqayo, akuveli okholweni futhi akuveli othandweni lukaKristu oluthululwe ezinhliziyweni zethu. Kwakungeke kwenzeke ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu ngokulalela okunjalo. Futhi akufanele sihambe ngokwesaba ezindaweni lapho singekho kulolo hlobo lokulalela okwamanje, njengoba lokho kuyinqubo eyenziwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi nguMoya. Njengoba sihamba futhi sifunda sikhula ekulaleleni kakhulu nangokwengeziwe ngoba uthando lwethu Ngaye luyakhula ngokwanda kwesambulo somsebenzi wesiphambano, amandla eQiniso Lakhe nothando Lwakhe ngathi. Futhi ngokufunda imiyalelo njengoba yanikezwa eSinayi sifunda indlela yokubonisa uthando lwethu olukhulayo Kuye ngokusabela ngokulalela. Yilokhu okushiwo ukuba ngaphansi komthetho kaMoya/umthetho kaKristu. Yimiyalo efanayo naleyo engaphansi komthetho kaMose, kodwa ayinazo iziqalekiso. Usephenduke isiqalekiso kithi. Sikhululekile esiqalekisweni esiqukethwe emthethweni kaMose. Ingabe inkululeko enjalo kufanele isinikeze izaba zesono? Makube njalo, lokhu thina esisokiweyo izinhliziyo zethu sifile esonweni, ngalokho ningabe nisona ngamabomu. Ukungalaleli umyalo weTorah ngoba asinawo ulotshiwe ezinhliziyweni zethu kodwa akufani nokungalaleli ngamabomu. Kuseyisono, kodwa isono esimbozwe ngegazi likaKristu futhi konke esikudingayo ukufulathela siye ekulaleleni ngokushesha nje lapho iZwi likhuluma ezinhliziyweni zethu ngalowo myalo. Manje akuzona izindaba Ezinhle lezo!

Okubalulekile uJoe yilokhu - ngiyazi ukuthi uphathiswe umlayezo wemijikelezo yesabatha neziqalekiso futhi lokho kuhle kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, angikholwa ukuthi kufanele zisetshenziswe njengethuluzi levangeli. Ngicabanga ukuthi anizange nicabange kanjalo kodwa ngikholwa ukuthi iyona ndlela enizisebenzisa ngayo uma zingahambisani nomyalezo wegazi likaKristu. Awukwazi ukumemezela uzamcolo bese ungawumemezeli umkhumbi. Futhi ukulalela akuwona umkhumbi, uJesu ungumkhumbi . Ukusebenzisa iziqalekiso ukuqhubeza ukwesaba kubantu ukuze balalele, kuwukushumayeza abantu emthethweni kaMose kanye neziqalekiso ezihambisana nawo. Iziqalekiso ziyiqiniso futhi kufanele sizimemezele, kodwa impendulo iwukuthi singazilaleli ngenxa yokwesaba. Impendulo yigazi likaKristu elisikhulula kulezo ziqalekiso ngoba waba yisiqalekiso ngenxa yethu. Uma iningi lezizwe zakwa-Israyeli libhekana nalezo ziqalekiso namuhla, akungenxa yokuthi azigcini zonke izinsuku ezingcwele nemiyalo, kungenxa yokuthi zisangaphansi komthetho kaMose (imiyalo eneziqalekiso ngenxa yezinhliziyo ezilukhuni) futhi umthetho kaKristu (imiyalo engenaziqalekiso ngenxa yezinhliziyo ezizinikele - kodwa yebo kunjalo nangokuqondiswa kukaBaba onothando). UJoe, ngiyakholwa ukuthi nakuba ushumayela igazi likaKristu, ushumayela abantu emthethweni kaMose ngalokho ubeka ngaphansi kweziqalekiso uJesu awafa ukuze asikhulule kuzo. Okuphazamisa nakakhulu ukuthi ungenza abantu abahlengiwe bawe emseni nasothandweni kanye nomsebenzi oqediwe wegazi likaKristu, futhi ubabuyisele emthethweni kaMose ngokumemezela ukuthi bazokufa noma badle abantwana babo ngokushesha uma bengakwenzi. yenzani zonke izinsuku ezingcwele nangomnyaka wesabatha osemnyango wethu. Ngiyaxolisa kodwa angikwazi ukuvumelanisa nalokho. Ubeka ukwesaba nomthwalo phezu kwabo uKristu abathwalele wona. ANGISHO ukuthi igazi lisinika izaba zokungazilaleli lezi zinto! Ngisho nokho ukuthi kufanele zifundiswe esimweni lapho ukugxila kungagxili eziqalekisweni, kodwa emsebenzini kaKristu wokuhlenga. Ngeshwa iningi lika-Israyeli alikho ngaphansi komthetho kaKristu, ngakho-ke lezo ziqalekiso ziyehlela ngempela. Akukhona ukuthi abalaleli yonke imiyalo nosuku olungcwele-kodwa-ke kungenxa yokuthi abekho ngaphansi kwegazi likaKristu kanye nezimfundiso zemithetho Yakhe ezinhliziyweni zabo ngoMoya Wakhe ohlala ngaphakathi. Inhliziyo yami ike yasindwa yilokhu isikhathi eside futhi ngiyacwila emoyeni wami njalo uma nifuna igazi kwezinye zezincwadi zenu, kodwa kwezinye nimemezela ukwesaba neziqalekiso zokuletha abantu ekulaleleni. Angikholwa ukuthi lelo yivangeli lezindaba ezinhle zikaKristu.

Ngakho lapho. Inhliziyo yami manje seyabiwe. Lokhu bekungelula kimi ukuthi ngikwenze njengoba ngiyingane futhi wena unguJoseph Dumond ngenxa yokulunga! Futhi nginenhlonipho nokwazisa okukhulu kakhulu ngawe nangenhliziyo yakho ngo-YHVH. Naphezu kwezinyanga zokuthandaza nokuzindla umthwalo walo myalezo awuzange ususwe enhliziyweni yami nokho, ngakho ngigcine ngikholelwa ukuthi mhlawumbe kuhloswe ukulethwa ngaleso sikhathi.

Uma kufanele kube khona noma yiliphi iqiniso lapha i-YHVH efuna ukukulahla ngecala, ngikuthanda kangangokuthi ngizifaka engozini yokukuhlukanisa ngokubhala le imeyili. Ngisengumntwana futhi usengumeluleki owaziswa kakhulu futhi othandwayo empilweni yami Joe, ngakho ngithemba futhi ngithemba ukuthi akukho lutho kule ncwadi oluzoba yimbangela yokukucasula! Ngibona kahle ukuthi ungase uvele ubhale futhi ugcine ngokungilungisa, futhi lokho kulungile futhi. Uma nginephutha ngithemba ukuthi u-YHVH uzoshintsha ukuqonda kwami. Usevele wazuza isimangaliso esikhulu sokushintsha inhliziyo yami isuke ekungabi-namthetho iye ekuthandeni iTorah Yakhe, ngakho ukushintsha umqondo wami kulokhu uma kunesidingo kumele kube isinyathelo esilandelayo esilula Kuye =).

Ngiyakuthanda mfowethu Joe. Ngiyabonga ngokuzwa inhliziyo yami. Ngiyethemba ngizozwa ngawe uma nje uthola isikhathi sokuphendula.

Shalom

Ziningi izinto okumele uphawule ngazo kule ncwadi. Ngeke kwenzeke ngesikhathi esisodwa nokho. Lo mngane wami kanye nami siyabathanda ngokubhala lokhu kuthinte izihloko eziningi ezidinga ukubhekwa kanye nokucazulula ezinye zezimfundiso zebandla abasaziphethe njengeqiniso levangeli. Lokhu kuzothatha isikhathi futhi sizokhuluma nabo isonto ngalinye enyangeni ezayo noma ngaphezulu. Ake sibone ukuthi sifinyelela kude kangakanani embuzweni wokuqala.

Ngaphambi kokuthi siphendule umbuzo wokuqala kufanele ngisho okuthile ngalokhu kuphawula okwenziwe umngane wami.

“Selokhu ngahlangana nawe Joe, ngithintekile ukushisekela kwakho, uthando lwakho nolwazi lwakho. Nokho ngike ngaphatheka kabi ngento engingeke ngikwazi ukubeka umunwe kuyo. Kusukela ubhalisele izincwadi zakho zezindaba lokho ukungakhululeki sekukhule kwaba ukukhathazeka kwangempela. Ngifunda okuningi ezincwadini zenu zezindaba, kodwa kwaba khona lokhu kukhululeka okukhulayo nakuba ngangingaqondi ngokugcwele ukuthi kungani.”

Abantu abaningi abafunda leNcwajana manje baphuma emabandleni obuKristu. Ungakhetha noma yiliphi ihlelo futhi sinabantu abavela kulawo mahlelo. Cishe bonke baqeqeshwe ukuba bacabange ukuthi igazi likaJesu liyabasindisa nokuthi basindiswa ngomusa.

Nakuba lezi zinkulumo ezimbili zilungile kodwa azilungile uma zisetshenziswa ngokwazo, okuyilokho ibandla elikufundise kona.

Nanku umbhalo ibandla seliguge futhi abaningi benu lisabambelele kuwo.

Kwabase-Efesu 2:8 Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa, nalokhu akuveli kini, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu; 9 akuveli ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo.

Hhayi-ke ngiyabona njengamanje lokhu kukude njengoba sizofika kule imeyili. Kodwa lena i-imeyili enhle futhi ihlanganisa izinto eziningi. Sizobuya isonto ngalinye kuze kube yilapho sesidingide udaba ngalunye esibuzwayo ngisho nemibuzo. Kodwa kumele siqale sikhulume le nto yomusa.

Okwenza abantu bangakhululeki ngami ukuthi babambelele emangeni esonto futhi isonto ngalinye ngisusa lawo manga afanayo engihlanganyela nabo amaqiniso eTorah. Anginalo ihlelo engingalivikela ukuze ngigcine umsebenzi wami. Angikhathali noma kubuhlungu noma kukucasula ukwazi iqiniso ngakho ngikusho njengoba linjalo. Angizami ukuzuza abalandeli. Abantu bayafika futhi bahambe njalo. Ngivame ukuhlanyisa abaningi futhi bahambe. Kodwa bayalibona iqiniso futhi kamuva babuye. Abefundisi abaningi bazama ukugcina nokwakha umhlambi ukuze babe neholo elikhulu futhi eliqinile. Lokho akwenzeki lapha.

Wathi uYehshua;

Luk 12:51 Nithi ngize ukuletha ukuthula emhlabeni na? Ngithi kini: Qha, kepha kunalokho ukwahlukana. 52 Ngokuba kusukela manje kuyakuba khona abayisihlanu endlini inye behlukene, abathathu nababili, nababili nabathathu. 53 Uyise uyakwehlukana nendodana, nendodana noyise; unina nendodakazi, nendodakazi nonina; uninazala amelane nomalokazana wakhe, nomalokazana amelane noninazala. 54 Futhi wathi esixukwini: Nxa nibona ifu livela entshonalanga, masinyane nithi: Kukhona imvula. Futhi kunjalo. 55 Futhi nxa nibona umoya waseningizimu uphephetha, nithi: Kuzoba ukushisa; futhi kwenzeka. 56 Bazenzisi! Niyakwazi ukwahlukanisa ubuso bezulu nomhlaba, kepha kwenzeka kanjani ukuba ningaqondi lesi sikhathi na? 57 Kungani nina ngokwenu ningahluleli okulungile na?

Ngifundisa lezo zinto ezidala nokuhlukana emakhaya. Nasekhaya lami kuyiqiniso lokhu. Isizathu sokuthi lokhu kwenzeke yingoba eminye izohlanganisa wonke umthetho webhayibheli kanti ezinye izingxenye ezithile kuphela. I-Churchianity yenza lokhu, ikhetha kuphela lezo zinto eziwuthambisayo futhi ingagcini ibhayibheli lonke ithi udoti onjena onjalo uyaqedwa.

Abaningi benu bazovumelana nalokhu engikushoyo bese kuthi njengoba siqhubeka nokwakha kulelo phuzu, niqala ukungakhululeki. Kungani? Ngoba lokho owawukholelwa kukho ebandleni lakho langaphambili, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuyiqiniso noma cha, kuyaphikiswa futhi manje kufanele uthuthele ekuqondeni okuhlukile okuzokukhipha kude nomndeni wakho nabangane uma ugcina lokhu kuqonda okusha. Ayikhululekile.

Ngenkathi ngibona okokuqala ukuthi kufanele ngigcine iSabatha, ngangazi ukuthi lokhu kuzodala kanjani izinkinga eziningi ngaphambi kokuthi ngiqale. Kodwa unembeza wami wawuthi kufanele ngibe neqiniso noma ngizoba umzenzisi.

Lokhu ngikubiza ngokubambelela emthwalweni wakho wesonto. Futhi yilokhu okudingayo ukushiya emnyango futhi uqhubeke. Kunzima ngezinye izikhathi kodwa yilokho esikwenzayo sonke.

Ngike ngahlangana nabantu abangamaKatolika futhi begqoke i-tzit tzit. Babesaya esontweni ngeSonto futhi bagcina uKhisimusi kodwa manje base begqoka i-tzit tzit futhi basebenzisa igama eliNgcwele.

Nakuba lokhu kuzwakala kuyinqaba futhi kwakungajwayelekile kimi lapho ngihlangana nabo, abaningi benu benza into efanayo. Wamukela izinto ezithile ezikuhlaba umxhwele futhi uzifake ekuqondeni kwakho okusha futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo ubambelele ekungaqondini kwakho kwangaphambili. Isibonelo nje abanye benu basagxumeka isihlahla sikaKhisimuzi bethi lokhu akubona ubuqaba ngoba senigcina iSabatha. Ngempela? Uziqambela amanga nje. Kodwa abaningi babambelela ekuqondeni okusha bezama ukukwenza kufanelane nokungaqondi kwabo kwangaphambili. Ukuyekethisa, ukuxuba imbewu njengokungathi.

Manje ake sikhulume ngale ndaba yomusa. Okukhulunywe ngumngani wami nakuba bengaphumanga basho kanjalo. Kuwukungaqondi okucashile abaningi benu abanakho. Sula lokhu futhi eminye yemibuzo nezinkinga nayo iyahamba.

Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa yiMonte Judah
http://lionlamb.net/v3/YAVOH-HeisComing/2011/12

Ingabe UMUSA umqondo ongokomoya walethwa emhlabeni okokuqala nguMesiya? Noma, ingabe lalikhona ezikhathini “zeTestamente Elidala” kuNowa, uAbrahama, noMose? Uma umusa wawungekho ngaphambi kokuba kufike uMesiya, pho-ke abangcwele bangaphambili basindiswa kanjani? Ngibuza le mibuzo ngoba abefundisi abaningi banezimpendulo ezihlukene. Babuka UMUSA NOMTHETHO njengezinto ezihlukene, cishe eziphikisanayo. Kodwa ingabe ngempela?
Ngaphambi kokuba siqhubekele phambili, ake sichaze amagama ambalwa eBhayibheli: umusa “umusa ongafanelwe,” umusa “uwumusa ongafanelwe.” Ukukholwa “ukukholwa izithembiso (izwi) likaNkulunkulu.” Insindiso iwukuthola “ukukhululwa.” Ukuhlengwa “kuthengwa ebugqilini.”
Uyini umehluko phakathi komusa nesihe njengoba kokubili “kuwumusa ongafanelwe na?”

Umusa usho ukuthi uthole into obungayifanele. Isihe asikutholi okuthile obukufanelekele. Umusa nguNkulunkulu owabelana nathi ngezibusiso Zakhe kuyilapho umusa uwukuthi uNkulunkulu uvimbela izahlulelo Zakhe kithi. AmaKristu amaningi awacabangi ajule ngendlela umusa osebenza ngayo. Bakuthatha kalula futhi ngokunganaki njengokungathi kuwumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kubo. Bese bethatha umusa kaNkulunkulu ongabafanele, nakuba beziphatha kabi. Empeleni bakholelwa ukuthi umusa uyayisusa imithetho kaNkulunkulu.

Amakholwa amasha kamesiya abhekana nezinto ezihlukahlukene njengoba eqala ukukholelwa kuMesiya neTorah. Lapho begcina iSabatha, bedla i-kosher, futhi bejabulela amaholide ahlukene bazizwa “bexhumene” noNkulunkulu weBhayibheli futhi “amalambu aqala ukuvuleka” ekuqondeni kwabo imiBhalo. Ngabo akukho ukuphikisana phakathi komusa kaNkulunkulu nemiyalo yaKhe. Kodwa futhi babhekana nokulahlwa amaKristu amaningi, okubamangazayo.

Isizathu sokwenqatshwa sibuyela emuva encazelweni yoMUSA nokuthi uhlobana kanjani neTorah. AmaKristu amaningi akholelwa ukuthi UMUSA uyinto eyalethwa uMesiya futhi labo abanye abangcwele basindiswa ngemihlatshelo yezilwane nangoMthetho. Kubo, amazwi kaPawulu kwabase-Efesu asho konke.

Kwabase-Efesu 2:8-9 Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa, nalokhu akuveli kini, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu; 9 akuveli ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo.

AmaKristu amaningi (nami ngangingomunye wawo) afundiswa ukuthi kunomehluko omkhulu phakathi kwalokho uNkulunkulu akwenza ngoMose no-Israyeli, nalokho uJesu akwenza ngeBandla.

Ekuqondeni kwabo leli vesi lithi sisindiswa ngomusa kaJesu ngokukholwa kuye kuphela hhayi ngokwenza imisebenzi emihle njengokugcina imiyalo yomthetho kaMose. Baphinde bafundiswa ukuthi uma ugcina leyo mithetho eMthethweni futhi uzama ukukholwa kuJesu ukuthi uzowa eMseni futhi ulahlekelwe insindiso yakho. Kalula nje, bakholelwa ukuthi awukwazi ukukholelwa kuJesu uma uzama ukulandela iTorah yeTestamente Elidala. (Eceleni, amaJuda amaningi awakholelwa ukuthi ungagcina iTorah futhi ukholwe nakuJesu.)

Lokhu kucabanga kuyingxenye yemfundiso yenkolo esikhundleni. Sekungamakhulu eminyaka isonto likhuthaza ukuthi selithathe isikhundla sikaIsrayeli njengohlelo lukaNkulunkulu lwanamuhla nokuthi uJesu usethathele indawo yawo wonke okhokho besikhathi esidlule. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngokwemfundiso yenkolo ethathela indawo iTestamente Elisha nalokho oFata beSonto abakushoyo kubusa usuku nokuthi noma yini eyashiwo eBhayibhelini ngaphambili iwumlando nje futhi ayinamphumela oyisibopho namuhla.

Uma ugcina iSabatha, bakubona NJENGOKUYA esontweni ngeSonto (isinqumo esenziwe oFata beBandla). Ekujuleni kwenhliziyo, besaba ukuthi usuka ekusindisweni kwakho kuJesu. Uma bekubona ugcina imithetho ehlanzekile nengcolile (kosher), bakubona uzibeka ngaphezu kwabo futhi unecala lokuzibona ulungile.

Uma uqala ukugcina amaholide eBhayibheli, kusho ukuthi wenqaba uKhisimusi kanye nePhasika. Ukungahlanganyeli kukhisimusi yikona okuwukubenqaba kanye nobuKrestu. Manje bacasukile mathupha futhi bazizwa bengamakholwa eqiniso kuyilapho wena udelela futhi ulahla bona, umndeni, nokholo. Bayothi kini, “Khumbulani, siphana izipho njengoba nje uNkulunkulu asiphe isipho sikaJesu, noJesu uyisizathu saleso sikhathi.”

Uma ubilisa konke ukungaqondi nokudumazeka kubuyela emazwini kaPawulu kwabase-Efesu. Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe...

Ake ngize ngqo ephuzwini lalesi sihloko: umKristu ovamile ufundiswe ngokungalungile ngalokho uPawulu akusho (njengabanye izinto uPawulu azifundisa). Iqiniso liwukuthi uPawulu ufundisa ivangeli elanikezwa u-Abrahama futhi lafundiswa nguMose!

Amazwi athi ngomusa usindisiwe ngokukholwa ayimfundiso yakudala yeTorah. Ngaphambi kokuba ngichaze lokho, ake sibuyekeze incwadi uPawulu ayeyibhalela abase-Efesu futhi sibone ukuthi wathini eholela kulesi sitatimende esibalulekile mayelana nomusa, insindiso, nokholo.

Umphostoli uPawulu wayebhalela iqembu elisha lamakholwa angabeZizwe ayemane ezwa ngabo. Wayengakavakashi kubo, ngakho wababhalela le ncwadi. Isiyalezo sakhe siyoqala ngoMesiya, uMsindisi wethu, kodwa usebenzisa iTorah nemiBhalo njengesisekelo sakhe sokufundisa.

Ngemva kokubingelela kwabase-Efesu, uPawulu wabachazela ukuthi kusukela kudala uNkulunkulu wayebahlelele ukuba babe ingxenye yomkhaya kaNkulunkulu.

Kwabase-Efesu 1:4 njengalokho asikhetha kuye ngaphambi kokusekelwa kwezwe, ukuba sibe ngcwele, singasoleki phambi kwakhe othandweni, 5 wasimisela ngaphambili ukuba sibe abantwana bakhe ngoJesu Kristu ngokokulunga kwakhe. ukuthokoza kwentando yakhe, 6 kube yinkazimulo yenkazimulo yomusa wakhe asenzile samukeleka kuye othandiweyo.

UPawulu wagxila endleleni uMesiya ayenikeze ngayo ukuhlengwa kwezimpilo zethu, ezalahleka ngenxa yesono, ngokunikela ngokuphila Kwakhe esikhundleni esamukelekayo, okuholela ekuthethelelweni kwezono zethu kanye nokwamukela umusa negunya likaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu (umusa). Ube esebhala ukuthi kukhona “imfihlakalo” kuleyo nqubo eye yaziswa kithi esikholelwa ekuhlengweni kukaMesiya.

Eph 1:9 esesazisile imfihlo yentando yakhe ngokwentando yakhe enhle ayeyihlosile kuye ngokwakhe.

Noma nini uPawulu ekhuluma “ngemfihlakalo” ukhuluma ngemfundiso ejule kakhulu ngokuhlengwa kukaMesiya okutholakala kuyiTorah. Ake ngichaze ngokuqhubekayo. Amavesi okuqala achaza ukuhlengwa emiBhalweni atholakala kuGenesise 37. Iyingxenye yendaba kaJakobe ethumela uJosefa ukuba ayobheka inhlalakahle yabafowabo nomhlambi. UMesiya uqobo lwakhe wayethunywe uYise ukuba enze okufanayo nakithi. Ake sihlole uGenesise 37 eduze – indaba yokuhlengwa.

UGenesise 37:12 Abafowabo baya kwalusa umhlambi kayise eShekemi. 13 U-Israyeli wathi kuJosefa: “Abafowenu abawalusi umhlambi eShekemi na? Woza, ngizakuthuma kubo. Wathi kuye: "Ngilapha." 14 Wathi kuye: “Ake uhambe, ubone ukuthi kusahlezi kahle ngabafowenu nemihlambi yini. Futhi ungilethele izwi futhi. Wamthuma esuka esigodini saseHebroni, wafika eShekemi.

UJosefa wayeyilungu lokuqala lomkhaya kaJakobe owathuthela eGibhithe futhi wagqilazwa. Ngenxa yokuphila kukaJosefa bonke abafowabo bahlanganyela naye eGibhithe futhi izizukulwane ezine kamuva zakhululwa eGibhithe nguMose nangePhasika. Njalo uma kukhulunywa ngePhasika indaba, iqala ngoGenesise 37 kanye nendaba kaJosefa ethunywa nguyise uJakobe. UPawulu wayeyiqonda le mfundiso futhi wabhekisela kuyo encwadini yakhe eya kwabase-Efesu. Kuyangimangaza namanje ukuthi umKristu ovamile namuhla akazi ukuthi uPawulu usekelwe phezu kwencwadi yakhe eya kwabase-Efesu.

Kodwa linda, kusekuningi okukuGenesise uPawulu ayekuqonda futhi. Lapho ithi abafowabo bayokwalusa umhlambi eShekemi, umbhalo wesiHeberu awusho ukuthi kwakungekayise. Empeleni umbhalo uthi bahamba bayokwelusa umhlambi wase-Aleph-Tav. Yigama lesiHebheru elincane elibizwa ngokuthi “et.” Ngaphezu kwalokho, ababhali ababhala iTorah benza okuthile okukhethekile okuvela izikhathi ezine kuphela emiBhalweni. Babeka “amachashazi” ngaphezu kwalezo zinhlamvu ezimbili ezithi Aleph-Tav.

EBhayibhelini i-King James Version lawa abizwa ngokuthi “amajothi.” Lapho uJeshua esho lamazwi, “Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha iTorah…”, wabe esethi, “Akuyikudlula ngisho nelilodwa ganyana noma ichashana kuze kufezeke konke.”

Igama elithi “et” elinamajothi angenhla kwezinhlamvu lijulile embhalweni weBhayibheli. Iningi lezazi nabefundisi abangamaKristu alikaze likuzwe lokhu noma liqonde incazelo yako, kodwa uPawulu wayekwazi ngakho.

Sekuyiminyaka izazi ezingamaJuda zibuza, “Ingubani noma iyini i-Aleph-Tav?” UMesiya uqobo wabaphendula lapho ethi kumphostoli uJohane, “Mina ngingu-Alefi noThavi, owokuqala nowokugcina.” AmaKristu abhekisela emibhalweni yawo yesiGreki hhayi yesiHeberu egcina ngo-Alfa no-Omega. Lokhu ngokuphumelelayo kwenza le nkulumo yaba umqondo weTestamente Elisha kuphela esikhundleni sokuwulandelela emsukeni kaMesiya otholakala kuyiTorah. Kodwa namuhla amaqhinga anjalo awasebenzi njengoba singabuyela embhalweni wesiHeberu. Lokhu kufana nokuguquguquka okuhlanekezele igama elithi umusa.

Ukusetshenziswa kwamagama “amagama” ngababhali kuhlobanisa lomBhalo nezinye eziseTorah. Iziqephu ezine zixhunywe ngale ndlela. Lawo mavesi akhuluma ngengxabano yesikhathi eside yomkhaya kaJakobe. Iqala ngengxabano phakathi kukaJakobe newele lakhe u-Esawu owayefuna isibusiso uJakobe asithola ku-Isaka. Ihlanganisa ukuhlengwa kukaMesiya, izibulo, futhi iphetha ngokubuyiselwa kokugcina ekupheleni kwezikhathi.

Kodwa kuthiwani ngengxenye “eyimfihlo” uPawulu ayebhekisela kuyo ngokuqondile? Bheka futhi kuGenesise 37. Amazwi athi uJakobe wamthuma esigodini saseHebroni.

TSHEKA!

IHebroni iyintaba; asikho “isigodi” saseHebroni! Igama langempela lesiHeberu elisetshenziswe lapha lithi “emek.” I-Emek inezincazelo ezimbili: imfihlakalo nesigodi. I-Valley ingasho into efanayo nemfihlakalo uma ukubheka ngale ndlela. Ubheka phansi entabeni futhi indlela iholela esigodini esimnyama. Ngakho-ke, kukhona “imfihlakalo” yokuthi yini ephambi kwakho. Isigodi simelela “imfihlakalo.” Empeleni uMose wabhala ukuthi uJakobe wayethumela uJosefa ohambweni “oluyimfihlakalo” olwaluyophumela ekuhlengweni, uhambo olwaluyophumela ngemva kweminyaka ethile ngePhasika nokuphuma kwabantwana bakwaIsrayeli eGibithe, njengoba nje uNkulunkulu ayebikezele kuAbrama.

Gen 15:13 Wathi ku-Abrama: “Yazi nokwazi ukuthi inzalo yakho iyakuba ngumfokazi ezweni elingelona elayo, ibakhonze. Futhi bayakuwahlupha iminyaka engamakhulu amane. 14 Futhi futhi ngizosahlulela leso sizwe abayosikhonza. ngasemuva bayakuphuma nempahla enkulu.

UJosefa wasiza uJakobe nomkhaya wakhe ukuba bathuthele eGibhithe futhi ngemva kwalokho ukugqilazwa kwalandela ngokuvumelana namazwi kaNkulunkulu. Nakuba lokhu kwathatha isikhathi eside kakhulu, uNkulunkulu uyabekezela ukuze alungise izimo ukuze abonise umusa Wakhe esintwini. Ingabe kufanele nginikhumbuze ukuthi uJesu wasebenzisa isikhumbuzo sePhasika nangosuku olufanayo ukuze enze umhlatshelo wakhe ngenxa yethu?

Ngakho ake sibuyele kulokho uPawulu ayekusho kwabase-Efesu ngalemfihlakalo kaMesiya emsebenzini wokuhlenga.

Kwabase-Efesu 1:11 esakhethwa kuye futhi ukuba sibe yifa, esamiselwa ngaphambili ngokwenhloso yalowo osebenza zonke izinto ngokwecebo lentando yakhe.

Futhi, uPawulu uthi umsebenzi kaMesiya nokusindiswa kwethu kuyingxenye yecebo levangeli uNkulunkulu aliklama kudala. Ifa liyinto edluliswa yizizukulwane ezedlule, futhi ifa lethu levangeli lisuka kubaba wethu u-Abrahama.

Eqinisweni, uPawule wafundisa ukuthi ivangeli AKUMELE linikezwe kuqala eTestamenteni Elisha, lanikwa u-Abrahama kuqala. Nakhu kuGenesisi.

UGenesise 12:3 Ngiyakubusisa abakubusisayo, ngiqalekise okuqalekisayo. futhi kuyobusiswa kuwe imindeni yonke yomhlaba.

Nangu uPawulu ethi ivangeli lashunyayelwa ku-Abrahama.

KwabaseGalathiya 3:8 ZULXNUMX; UmBhalo ubona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzakulungisisa abezizwe ngokukholwa, washumayela ivangeli ngaphambili ku-Abrahama, wathi: “Izizwe zonke ziyakubusiswa ngawe.”

Lokho uPawulu akusho kwabase-Efesu yilokho akufundisa futhi kwabaseGalathiya. Icebo likaNkulunkulu leminyaka libekwe eTorah ngesibonelo sobaba. Kuyisu likaNkulunkulu futhi ukwelula lezo zibusiso ezanikezwa obaba nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kuzo zonke izizwe, izizwana, nezilimi. Ivangeli (izindaba ezinhle zokuhlengwa) ngelabo bonke abantu abakholwa kuNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, u-Isaka, noJakobe. UJesu unguNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, u-Isaka, noJakobe!

Yilokhu okuhlukanisa amakholwa kamesiya kukho kokubili ubuJuda nobuKrestu. UbuJuda bukholelwa kuNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama kodwa bayamphika uMesiya uYeshua. UbuKrestu bukholelwa kuJesu futhi abumnaki uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama. AmaMesiya akholelwa kuNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, u-Isaka, noJakobe. Bakholelwa futhi kuMesiya uJesu njengokugcwaliseka kwezithembiso ezenziwa kobaba. Kubo, uNkulunkulu akashintshi. Azikho izingxabano nobufakazi noma izinkathi ezahlukene noma ukwehlukana Okudala Nokusha.

UPawulu uqhubeka nencwadi yakhe eya kwabase-Efesu ngokubakhumbuza ngokuphila kwabo kwangaphambili ngaphambi kokuba bakholelwe ekuhlengweni kukaNkulunkulu.

Kwabase-Efesu 2:1 Unenze naphila enanikade nafa ngeziphambeko nezono, 2 enanikade nihamba kuzo ngokwendlela yaleli zwe, ngokombusi wamandla omkhathi, ongumoya osebenzayo manje. kubantwana bokungalaleli; 3 ekade sasiphila phakathi kwabo ezinkanukweni zenyama yethu, sifeza izinkanuko zenyama lemicabango, njalo ngokwemvelo sasingabantwana bolaka njengabanye. 4 Kodwa uNkulunkulu, ocebile ngesihawu, ngenxa yothando lwakhe olukhulu asithanda ngalo 5 (ngisho nalapho sasifile ezonweni) usenze siphile kanye noKristu (ngomusa nisindisiwe);

Kodwa kunomehluko omkhulu manje emsebenzini kaMesiya. Phawula indlela uPawulu akhuluma ngayo evesini lethu eliyisihluthulelo. Zonke izimpikiswano zakhe bezilokhu zakha kuze kube manje kuleli phuzu alishoyo emavesini alandelayo.

Kwabase-Efesu 2:8 Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa, nalokhu akuveli kini, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu; 9 akuveli ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo.

Ingabe incwadi yabase-Efesu iwukuphela kwendawo uPawulu afundisa kuyo lesi siphetho esibalulekile? Cha. UPawulu wafundisa okuningi ngale ngxoxo encwadini yabaseRoma. Ake sihlole imfundiso kaPawulu lapho.

Kodwa ake sibuze imibuzo eyisisekelo kakhulu. Uma umusa umusha ngempela eTestamenteni Elisha ngoMesiya, pho u-Abrahama wasindiswa kanjani? Ngaleso simo, uMose wasindiswa kanjani noma bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli kuhlanganise nabaphrofethi ngaphambi kokufika kukaMesiya na?

Ngike ngizwe abanye othisha bethi bagcina umthetho noma benza imihlatshelo. Ake ngiqinisekise ukuthi akekho owake wasindiswa ngokugcina umthetho noma ngokubeka inkunzi e-altare. Ngingakuqinisekisa ukuthi iTorah AYIKUfundisi lokho. Ngisho nomlobi wamaHebheru uyakwazi lokho.

KumaHeberu 10:4 Ngokuba akunakwenzeka ukuba igazi lezinkunzi nelezimbuzi lisuse izono.

UPawulu wafundisa kweyabaseRoma ukuthi insindiso ngokholo yavela ku-Abrahama.

Wonke umuntu owake waphila noma oyophila esikhathini esizayo usindiswa ngokukholelwa kulokho uNkulunkulu akuthembisile. Ukukholelwa kulokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo kubalwa njengokulunga futhi lelo kholwa libe seliholelwa ekusindisweni ngomnikelo owamukelekayo (umhlatshelo) nangomusa kaNkulunkulu. Bheka isibonelo sokusindiswa kukaNowa kuZamcolo.

UNowa walandela izwi likaNkulunkulu (iziyalezo zakhe zokwakha umkhumbi) kodwa kwaba umusa kaNkulunkulu owamsindisa.

Gen 6:8 Kepha uNowa wafumana umusa emehlweni kaJehova.

UPawulu wabhalela amaRoma egcizelela egcizelela ukuthi ukwenza imisebenzi yoMthetho njengoba kwenza amaJuda angokwenkolo akwanele ukuze athole insindiso. Ababhali nabaFarisi babefundisa ukuthi insindiso ivela ngemisebenzi yomthetho. Baze bashintsha eminye yemithetho yangempela ukuze bashube kakhulu isimo. Kungakho uJesu waphikisana nabo. Namuhla inkolo yobuJuda isafundisa lesi simiso sensindiso: “Umkhuleko, nokuphenduka, nezenzo ezinhle ziyawunqanda umyalo onzima.” AmaJuda azinikele athandaza kaningi usuku ngalunye ngokwezincwadi zawo zemithandazo, anikela ngezipho, futhi enza mitzvot (izenzo ezinhle) ekholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ngeke ahlulele kodwa awalethe embusweni waKhe wesikhathi esizayo. Kuyinsindiso ngemisebenzi, iTorah engayifundisi.

UPawulu wenza udaba lwakhe ekhuluma nempikiswano yabaFarisi yokuthi ukusoka (omunye wemisebenzi yomthetho) kwakuyimpoqo ukuze usindiswe.

Roma 4:8 ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engayikubalela isono nangayiphi indlela.” 9 Ngakho-ke lokhu kubusiswa kungokusoka kuphela noma nakungasokile na? Ngokuba sithi: Ukukholwa kwabalelwa ku-Abrahama ukuthi kungukulunga. 10 Pho, kwabalelwa kanjani na? Esokile noma engasokile na? Hhayi ekusokeni, kodwa ekungasokini. 11 Wasesemukela isibonakaliso sokusoka, uphawu lokulunga kokukholwa engakasoki; ukuze abe nguyise wabo bonke abakholwayo bengasokile, ukuze kubalelwe nakubo ukulunga; 12 futhi abe nguyise wokusoka kwabangasokile kuphela, kodwa nakulabo abahamba ngezinyathelo zokholo lukababa wethu u-Abrahama ngesikhathi sokungasoki. 13 Ngokuba isithembiso sokuthi uyakuba yindlalifa yezwe asinikwanga u-Abrahama nenzalo yakhe ngoMthetho, kodwa ngokulunga kokholo.

Kalula nje kuwukuthi “Ngokuba ngomusa kaNkulunkulu zithethelelwe izono zenu futhi nisindisiwe ngokukholwa okufanayo u-Abrahama ayenakho, hhayi ngemisebenzi yomthetho, njengomyalo wokusoka.”

ITorah empeleni ifundisa lokhu okulandelayo: UNkulunkulu ufuna ngokufanelekile ukuthi inkokhelo (ukubuyisana nokubuyisela) yenziwe ngokweqa imithetho yaKhe. Ngenqwaba yezibonelo, iTorah nayo ikhombisa ukuthi sonke seqe imithetho yaKhe, siqala ngo-Adamu. Kodwa ngokwezithembiso zeTorah, uMesiya ngomusa uyazinikela ukuba abe yibamba elamukelekayo (iWundlu likaNkulunkulu) elicaciswe ubulungisa bukaNkulunkulu. Ngokukholelwa ezithembisweni zikaNkulunkulu nangokuthemba umusa wakhe, sithola isipho sokuphila (ukuthethelelwa kanye nefa lombuso Wakhe).

Yilokhu u-Abrahama ayekholelwa kukho. Yilokhu uMose ayekholelwa kukho. Yilokhu uPawulu akufundisa. Yilokhu esikholelwa kukho.

Lena kwakuyiyona mpikiswano kanye nesinqumo mayelana nensindiso emkhandlwini wokuqala eJerusalema (IZenzo 15). Lapho uPawulu ebuya nobufakazi babaningi beZizwe ababeza ekukholweni kuJesu, amakholwa kaJesu angabaFarisi aqala ukufundisa lokho ayekwazi ngaphambili ukuthi umuntu kumelwe asokwe ukuze asindiswe futhi enze imisebenzi yomthetho. UPawulu waphikisa kakhulu futhi le ndaba yalethwa phambi kwabo bonke abazalwane eJerusalema kuhlanganise noPetru noJakobe. UPetru wema futhi wafakaza ngokuthi abeZizwe bokuqala (uKorneliyu nendlu yakhe) basindiswa kanjani. Umthetho nemiyalo yayingahlangene ngalutho nakho.

IzEnzo 15:9 Akabekanga mahluko phakathi kwethu [amaJuda] nabo [abeZizwe], ehlambulula izinhliziyo zabo ngokholo.

Amakholwa abaFarisi azama ukuhlanganisa imfundiso yobuJuda noMesiya uma ifika kwabeZizwe. Baqale baphikisana ngokuthi abezizwe kumele basokwe ukuze basindiswe. Khona-ke baphikisana ngokuthi abeZizwe kufanele bagcine uMthetho ukuze basindiswe. Kodwa ukwahlulela komkhandlu kwakuvumelana nemfundiso kaPawulu. Imisebenzi yoMthetho ayiyona ingxenye yensindiso; imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu iyinsindiso. ITorah ibilokhu ifundisa ukuthi insindiso inqunywa ukukhetha kukaNkulunkulu nezenzo Zakhe, hhayi izenzo zethu. Kodwa-ke kwaphakama umbuzo wokuthi yini okufanele siyenze ngoMthetho uma sisindiswa ngomusa ngokukholwa.

AmaKristu nawo anenkinga encane yokuqonda ukuthi insindiso isebenza kanjani kanye nemiyalo. Bangaki kini abake bezwa amaKrestu ethi uma ungasonti ngeke usindiswe? Lokhu kuzwakala njengabaFarisi, bezama ukwengeza umyalo noma emibili ukuze baziphendulele. AmaKristu athi awayilandeli imithetho ye-kosher, kodwa ngomqondo othile ayayenza. Bamane banohlu oluhlukile lwezinto ezihlanzekile nezingcolile ohlwini lukaNkulunkulu. Kubo, iwayini lingcolile, kuyilapho uNkulunkulu ethi lihlanzekile; nengulube ihlanzekile, kuyilapho uNkulunkulu ethi ingcolile. Athi amaKrestu insindiso ingokukholwa kodwa uma wona obala phambi kwawo asuke enesiqiniseko sokuthi uya esihogweni. Bakholelwa ukuthi ukugcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu kufana nokulahla ukholo kuNkulunkulu.

Cabangela indida isikhashana salowo musho wokugcina!

Yingakho amaMesiya amasha edelelwa abangane nemindeni yabo abangamaKristu noma abangamaJuda. Ababoni abakwaMesiya beqinisekisa izenzo zabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, babheka ukugcina imiyalo njengento engokwenkolo (engathi sína) kunokumane nje indiva ukholo ndawonye.

Kodwa nali iqiniso elitholwa uMesiya: UNkulunkulu uthembise ukungcwelisa noma yimuphi umuntu olalela imiyalo yaKhe. Ukungcwelisa kusho “ukuhlukanisa.” Uma amaMesiya amasha egcina iSabatha, abaqondi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ucosha izwe futhi alisuse kubo. Lapho bezwa ukuhlukana, bayazi ukuthi abazange bakubangele. Babona abanye besuka eduze kwabo.

Cabanga ngengxabano ephathelene noKhisimusi. Abazalwane abaningi bakaMesiya bafunda kusenesikhathi ukuthi umBhalo uthi u-Asheri (imithi yokudumisa) uyizithixo phambi kukaNkulunkulu. UJeremiya umprofethi uchaza indoda egawula isihlahla esihlala siluhlaza, inamathisele amapulangwe phansi ukuze silinganisele, bese isihlobisa ngegolide nesiliva ikhonza izithombe (Jeremiya 10)! Ngazi amaKristu amaningi athanda iNkosi ngokweqiniso ezinhliziyweni zawo kodwa abe nezihlahla zikaKhisimusi ezindlini zawo. Lapho bebona uMesiya omusha eyeka umkhosi, baphikisa ngokuthi abakubheki njengesithixo ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngakho-ke, bakhululiwe ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu. Nakuba ngivuma ukuthi umusa nomusa kaNkulunkulu kuyamangalisa; abayona imvume yokona ngamabomu. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ukukhothama phambi kwesihlahla sikaKhisimusi ukuze uthole izibusiso (izipho) ngaphansi kuyisenzo sokukhonza izithombe. Izenzo zabo zikhaphela inhliziyo namazwi abo. UNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu onomona futhi ngeke abelane ngenkazimulo Yakhe nanoma yimuphi omunye. Ufuna sihluke ezweni.

Uma amaKristu ecabanga ukuthi angabukisa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu wokulandela izinhliziyo zawo, kusho ukuthi awile emseni. Ukuzilungisisa kwanoma yiluphi uhlobo ngumuntu kukususa “emseni ongafanelwe” kaNkulunkulu.

ITestamente Elisha likhuluma ngale ndaba ngamandla angaphezu kukaJeremiya. Lapho uPetru ethi abeZizwe basindiswa ngokholo njengamaJuda, umphostoli uJakobe waphetha yonke indaba yensindiso ngokubhalela abeZizwe incwadi enemininingwane yalokho okulindeleke kubo manje njengoba sebenokholo kuMesiya uJesu. Kucaciswe izinto ezintathu ezibalulekile. Impendulo yokuthi uMthetho nensindiso ngomusa ngokukholwa kuhlanganiswa kanjani ndawonye iphendulwa ngokucacile.

Into yokuqala yezinto ezintathu ezibalulekile ukudeda kuzo zonke izinhlobo zokukhonza izithombe!

IzEnzo 15:19 Ngakho-ke ukwahlulela kwami ​​kungukuthi singabakhathazi labo abaphendukela kuNkulunkulu bevela kwabezizwe, 20 kodwa masibabhalele ukuba bayeke ukungcola kwezithombe, nobufebe, nokuqumbeleneyo, nokuqumbeleneyo. egazini.

Nakhu okuxakayo ngempela. Amakholwa amasha kamesiya empeleni enza lokho okwashiwo incwadi kaJakobe eya kwabeZizwe. Lokhu kukubonisa ukuthi kuqhelele kangakanani emfundisweni yeBhayibheli ukuthi amaKristu aye akhukhuleka lapho ecabanga ukuthi amaMesiya anephutha ngokuphendukela emiyalweni.

Isahlulelo esashiwo uJakobe nesafezwa uPawulu noPetru sasingesisha. Kuyimfundiso eyisisekelo yeTorah. Eqinisweni, imiyalo uJakobe akhuluma ngayo iyisihloko sikaLevitikusi 17 no-18 (ukukhonza izithombe, ubungcwele, nokuziphatha okubi kobulili) futhi ibizwa ngokuthi “inhliziyo yoMthetho.” Ayikho indlela yokuthi uhlanganyele namanye amakholwa uma wenza lezi ziphambeko. UJames usanda kubuyekeza ubuncane (okubalulekile) okuvela kuTorah ngokuhlanganyela. Akubuzwa ukuthi ubekhuluma ngoMthetho lapha njengoba esho lokhu okulandelayo.

IzEnzo 15:21 Ngokuba uMose kwasendulo unabamshumayelayo emizini ngemizi, efundwa emasinagogeni isabatha ngamasabatha.

Empeleni, uJakobe wathi uma unemibuzo mayelana nokukhonza izithombe, i-kosher, noma ukuziphatha okubi, bhekisa emfundisweni kaMose yamasonto onke iSabatha ngalinye. Lokhu akusho ukuthi le mithetho emithathu ebalulekile iyona kuphela imiyalo, usho ukuthi ikholwa kufanele liyigcine njengemincane. Ziningi ezinye iziyalezo ekulungeni ezilandelayo. Njengoba amasonto engayifundisi iTorah ngeSabatha kuyaqondakala ukuthi kungani amaKristu amaningi engazi ngalezi zinto ezibalulekile noma eminye imiyalo kaNkulunkulu. Okuncane abakwaziyo kuyinzwabethi engcono kakhulu kanye nokuhlanekezelwa okuqondile okubi kakhulu.

Ingabe umphostoli uPawulu ukhuluma ngokugcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu ngemva kokusho amazwi akhe ajulile athi insindiso ivela ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ngokukholwa? Yebo uyakwazi. Bheka ivesi elilandelayo ngokushesha.

Eph 2:10 Ngokuba singumsebenzi wakhe kuKristu Jesu, sidalelwe imisebenzi emihle uNkulunkulu ayimisela ngaphambili ukuba sihambe kuyo.

UPawulu ufundisa ukuthi insindiso iza kuqala, ngemva kwalokho kufanele silalele iNkosi njengomphumela waleyo nsindiso. Akafundisi ukuthi senza imisebenzi emihle ukuze sisindiswe; ufundisa ukuthi senza imisebenzi emihle ngenxa yensindiso yethu. Umphostoli uJakobe usho okufanayo. Nokho, ugcizelela ukuthi ukholo lubonakala kangcono ngaleyo misebenzi kunokuvuma nje ngomlomo wakho, okuyiqiniso.

Jak 2:17 Kanjalo uma lungenayo imisebenzi, ukholo lufile ngokwalo. 18 Kodwa omunye uzakuthi: Wena unokukholwa, mina ngilemisebenzi. Ngibonise ukukholwa kwakho ngaphandle kwemisebenzi yakho, mina-ke ngizokukhombisa ukholo lwami ngemisebenzi yami.

UPawulu uqhubeka athi imisebenzi emihle kaMesiya ayikona ukugcina imiyalo njengoba kuchazwa ubuJuda (ukusoka). Imisebenzi emihle esiyenzayo iyafana neka-Abrahama neka-Israyeli wonke eyachazwa uMose.

Eph 2:11 Ngakho-ke khumbulani ukuthi nina eningabezizwe ngaphambili nanisenyameni, ababizwa ngokuthi abangasokile ngalokho okuthiwa ngabasokile enyameni okwenziwa ngezandla; 12 nokuthi ngaleso sikhathi naningenaye uKristu, ningahlukanisiwe nombuso ka-Israyeli, ningabafokazi ezivumelwaneni zesithembiso, ningenathemba, ningenaNkulunkulu ezweni. 13 Kodwa khathesi-ke kuKhristu uJesu lina elakade likhatshana selisondele ngegazi likaKristu. 14 Ngokuba ungukuthula kwethu, owenza thina sobabili sibe-munye, wadiliza umduli owawusahlukanisa phakathi kwethu, 15 esechithile ubutha enyameni yakhe, (umthetho wemiyalo osezimisweni) ukuze enze kuye ngokwakhe. laba ababili babe ngumuntu munye omusha, benza ukuthula phakathi kwabo; 16 ukuze abuyisane bobabili noNkulunkulu emzimbeni munye ngesiphambano, esebulele ubutha phakathi kwakhe.

Noma yimuphi umuntu ongaphandle kukaMesiya uJesu akayona ingxenye yombuso ka-Israyeli (umbuso kaNkulunkulu). Futhi bangaphandle kwezivumelwano nezithembiso uNkulunkulu azenza no-Adamu, uNowa, u-Abrahama, uMose, kanye neNkosi uDavide. Abanalo ithemba kuNkulunkulu. Kepha uma umuntu ethemba uNkulunkulu, kusukela ngezithembiso azenza kubaba wethu u-Abrahama, kuholela kuMesiya futhi siyakwamukela konke uNkulunkulu akuthembisile. Insindiso kaNkulunkulu kithi namuhla iyinsindiso efanayo ka-Abrahama esikhathini esidlule.

Njengomuntu ongumJuda, ngizwela kakhulu kunoma yimuphi umKristu ophakamisa ukuthi amaJuda awasindisi. Ngikholelwa ngempela ukuthi insindiso ikuMesiya Yeshua nokuthi uNkulunkulu kuphela ongenza isahlulelo esinjalo kuze kube phakade. Kodwa, njengoPawulu, ngingaphinda lokho uNkulunkulu akushilo. Isibonelo sethu ngu-Abrahama; umgomo weTorah unguMesiya.

Ezinsukwini zenkathi yethempeli lesibili, kwakunolunye udonga, olungamiswanga uMose, olwamiswa entabeni yethempeli olwaluhlukanisa abeZizwe emagcekeni akwaIsrayeli. Yayibizwa ngokuthi "udonga oluphakathi lokuhlukanisa." Umbhalo oqoshwe kulolo donga wawusho ukufa kwanoma yimuphi oweZizwe owayedlulela ngalé kwesahlukaniso futhi angene ethempelini. UNkulunkulu akazange akumise lokhu, lona kwakuwumsebenzi wabaFarisi nabaSadusi. UPawulu wabhala ukuthi umsebenzi kaJesu wokuhlenga wonke umuntu ulubhidlizile lolu donga ukuze bonke abantu, ngisho namakholwa angabeZizwe, beze futhi bakhulekele uJehova ethempelini Lakhe. Lokhu akwenzi ithempeli lisuke; iyivula ukuze uthole ukufinyelela okwengeziwe. Lokhu akuthathi indawo yenkonzo yasethempelini; kwenza kutholakale kakhudlwana.

Ekugcineni, uPawulu uthi ukufakwa esikhundleni kukaMesiya Yeshua kwenze wonke amakholwa Kuye abe yingxenye yomndeni awuqala no-Abrahama.

Kwabase-Efesu 2:19 Ngakho-ke aniseyibo abafokazi nezihambi, kodwa niyizakhamuzi ezikanye nabangcwele, ningabendlu kaNkulunkulu.

Sonke siye saba “Abantu Abakhethiweyo” ngokukhetha komusa kukaNkulunkulu. Sonke siyingxenye yenzalo ka-Abrahama, “abantwana besithembiso.” Akekho kithi onokulunga okungokwakhe; simemezela imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu, hhayi eyethu. Simane sithi, “Ngokuba ngomusa nisindisiwe ngokukholwa, akumele umuntu aziqhayise ngemisebenzi.”

AbakaMesiya abasha kudingeka baqonde ukuthi imindeni yabo nabangane bayesaba ukuthi balushiyile ukholo lapho bememezela imiyalo kaNkulunkulu futhi beyigcina. Kufanele ubaqinisekise ukuthi usindisiwe ngomusa kaNkulunkulu osebenza ngokukholwa kwakho ezithembisweni zikaNkulunkulu nokuthi uMesiya uqobo ukuphoqile ukuba ugcine imiyalo yakhe lapho ethi:

Joh 14:15 Uma ningithanda, gcinani imiyalo yami.

Abangani bakho nomndeni wakho abayazi imiyalo noma ukuthi ungayigcina kanjani. Abaqapheli ukuthi uJesu wayekhona ekudalweni, wayekhona edla isidlo sasemini no-Abrahama, futhi wayelapho enikeza uMthetho (imithetho Yakhe) evela eNtabeni iSinayi. Bazi kuphela ukugujwa kukaKhisimusi kanye nePhasika. Abazi ukuthi amaholide obuKristu ahlanganisa ingxube yabanye onkulunkulu abanjengoMithra, uNeptune, no-Ishtar.

Ngakho-ke yeluleni umusa kubo njengoba nje uNkulunkulu enzile kini. Ungadangali yilabo abaphikisana nokuhamba kwakho. Vumela ukukhanya kwakho kukhanye ukuze nabanye babone indlela yokuhamba.

1 kaPetru 5:10 Kepha uNkulunkulu womusa wonke owasibizela enkazimulweni yakhe yaphakade ngoKristu Jesu, senihluphekile isikhashana, uyakuniphelelisa, aniqinise, aniqinise, aniqinise.

I-Triennial Torah Cycle

Siyaqhubeka kule mpelasonto nezikhathi zethu Umjikelezo Wokufunda I-Torah Weminyaka Emithathu

Duteronomi 21 Zak 1-5 2 Thim 1-2

Imithetho Yomndeni Neyomphakathi ( Duteronomi 21:1-21 )

Ezimeni lapho kubulawe khona abantu ababengenakuxazululeka, kwakudingeka kuqala kutholwe ukuthi ubugebengu buwela kuyiphi indawo yedolobha—njengoba kwakuyoba isibopho salelo dolobha ukwenza konke elingakwenza ukuze liphenye lolu daba. Nokho lapho bengatholi mpendulo, kwakusafanele kube khona uhlobo oluthile lokubuyisana ukuze kugwenywe ukungcoliswa kwezwe (qhathanisa noNumeri 35:33). Ngakho, esikhundleni sokubulala umenzi wobubi, abadala bedolobha eliseduze kwakumelwe bathathe ithokazi elalingakasetshenziselwa umsebenzi bayehlise emfudlaneni ogelezayo futhi baliphule intamo—nakuba izinguqulo ezimbalwa zithi sanqunywa ikhanda. Khona-ke abadala kwakudingeka bageze izandla zabo phezu kwentamo yesithole, ngaleyo ndlela babonise ubumsulwa babo futhi bathole ukubuyisana ( amavesi 1-9 ). Olunye uhlobo oluthile lwethokazi, okungukuthi, ithokazi elibomvu, nalo lwalusetshenziselwa ukuhlanzwa okuthile (qhathanisa noNumeri 19:2). Futhi ebonisa ukuthi kwande kangakanani emhlabeni wasendulo ukugeza izandla komuntu obala ukuze kubonise ukungabi nacala, uPontiyu Pilatu kamuva wayezogeza izandla zakhe ukuze aziveze ukuthi umsulwa ekubulaweni kukaJesu ( Mathewu 27:24 ). Umfudlana ogelezayo ungase futhi ufanekisele ukungcoliswa kwezwe elithathwayo.

UDuteronomi 21:10-14 uvumela ukuba umIsrayeli ashade nowesifazane wesinye isizwe phakathi kweziboshwa zempi. Phawula imfuneko yokuba ‘aphuce ikhanda lakhe futhi aphungule izinzipho zakhe. Ngokwe-Nelson Study Bible: “Lo mkhuba wawuhloselwe ukunikeza owesifazane isikhathi sokujwayela isiko elisha nokulila ngenxa yokuhlukana nomkhaya wakhe ngenkani. Kwakuwuphawu futhi lokuhlanzwa. Wayelungiselela ukuba yingxenye yomphakathi omusha” (inothi ku-21:12). Njengoba nje uNkulunkulu amenqabela ngokucacile umIsrayeli ukuba ashade namaqaba ayehlanganyela ekukhulekeleni izithombe, lona wesifazane kwakumelwe amukele uNkulunkulu weqiniso kaIsrayeli (njengoba amavesi 12-13 ngandlela-thile esikisela, ebonisa ukuthi owesifazane wayengaphansi kwegunya lomyeni).

Amavesi 15-18 akhuluma ngesimo esingathandeki lapho indoda inabafazi ababili, omunye ethandwa kakhulu kunomunye, nemiphumela yendodana eyizibulo yomfazi ongathandwayo. UNkulunkulu wayesafuna ukuba indodana eyizibulo ithole isabelo esiphindwe kabili sefa likayise eyabelwe yona. Abantu baye bazibuza ukuthi kungani amadoda ayevunyelwa ukushada abafazi abangaphezu koyedwa ezikhathini zasendulo. Impendulo iwukuthi lena kwakungeyona inhloso kaNkulunkulu yasekuqaleni. UJesu wathi ekuqaleni, lapho edala u-Adamu no-Eva, “laba ababili” babeyoba “nyamanye,” futhi “laba ababili” kwakungafanele bahlukanise. Ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo yomuntu, uNkulunkulu wavumela amadoda ukuba abe nabafazi abangaphezu koyedwa, njengoba evumela namadoda ukuba ahlukanise nomkawo ( qhathanisa noMathewu 19:1-9 ). Nokho, umlando weBhayibheli ubonisa ukuthi ukuba nabafazi abangaphezu koyedwa kwaletha izinkinga eziningi emkhayeni. Ubunzima, kulokhu, buka-Abrahama, uJakobe kanye noSolomoni bunikeza izibonelo.

Amavesi 18-21 akhuluma ngendodana eyisihlubuki ezinikele ekudakweni nasekuminzini, eyenqaba ngenkani ukulalela abazali bayo—ngokusobala ibhekisela endodaneni esekhulile hhayi enganeni. Nokho lokhu kwakungekona nje “okujwayelekile” ukuhlubuka kwentsha. Kunalokho, lalisho umuntu owayezakhele idumela ‘njengomuntu ongelusizo lwalutho’ isikhathi eside. Ukuze bavimbele abanye ekulingiseni indlela yokuphila enengekayo yendodana—nokuvimbela ukudelela kwendodana igunya lobuzali ekukhuleni ekubeni ingalihloniphi lonke igunya, kuhlanganise nelikaNkulunkulu, kuze kube seqophelweni lokuba ekugcineni ibe yingozi emphakathini—abazali bayo kwadingeka bayibikele. abadala, futhi kwadingeka abulawe.

Isijeziso esinjalo singase sizwakale sinzima ezindlebeni zethu namuhla. Kodwa khumbula ukuthi imithetho kaNkulunkulu yayiklanyelwe ukudala umphakathi onokuthula, okhiqizayo, nolondekile wabo bonke abantu. Lesi sijeziso, nakuba sasinzima, sasiklanyelwe ukuvikela abanye. Esazi isimo somuntu, uNkulunkulu waqaphela ukuthi lapho insizwa ibonisa isimo sengqondo sokuhlubuka, nenkani isikhathi eside, uma idelela futhi ilahla igunya labazali bayo nabanye, uma ibonisa ukuzithiba okuncane noma ukungabonisi nhlobo noma ukuzimisela ukuthatha. Umthwalo wemfanelo ngezenzo zakhe, kwakuyoba nje indaba yesikhathi ngaphambi kokuba isimo sakhe sengqondo sokudelela simholele ekubeni alimaze noma abulale ngisho nokubulala omunye umuntu. Ngakho uma ngokuhamba kwesikhathi engabonisi ukuthambekela kokushintsha, inkinga yayixazululeka ngaphambi kokuba athole ithuba lokulimaza noma ukubulala abanye. Lesi sijeziso ‘sasizosusa ububi phakathi’ kuka-Israyeli futhi senze abanye “bezwe futhi besabe” ( ivesi 21 ).

Imiphakathi yethu ibingahluka kangakanani namuhla uma izinsizwa zazi ukuthi zingaphansi kwesijeziso esinjalo zisencane uma zikhetha ukwenqaba lonke igunya nezindinganiso zokuziphatha ezihloniphekile? Izinkinga eziningi ezikhungethe imiphakathi yethu, njengezigebengu zemisebenzi, amaqembu ezigelekeqe kanye nababulali abaningi bentsha, zingaqedwa ngaphambi kokuba bathole ithuba lokuqalisa. Wonke umphakathi ubungalondeka futhi ube ngcono, futhi abantu abangenacala bekungeke kudingeke bahlale ngokwesaba izigebengu. Khumbula, futhi, ukuthi lesi kwakungesona isiphetho esiphelele sabantu abanjalo. UNkulunkulu wayazi ukuthi ekugcineni wayeyobavusela ezweni elizayo lapho beyokwazi khona ukuqonda kangcono imiphumela yokuziphatha kwabo futhi baphenduke (bheka isAmbulo 20:5, 11-12; Hezekeli 37:1-14; “Omkhulu Wokugcina. Usuku: Ukuphila Okuphakade Okunikelwe Kubo Bonke,” Uhlelo LukaNkulunkulu Losuku Olungcwele: Isithembiso Sethemba Laso Sonke Isintu, 1999, amakhasi 51-57). Ngempela uNkulunkulu ungunkulunkulu wobulungisa, umusa nokukhathalela kothando inhlalakahle yabo bonke.

uZakariya

Isingeniso kuZakariya (Zakariya 1:1-6)

U-Ezra 4:24-5:2 uthi ngonyaka wesibili wenkosi yasePheresiya uDariyu, umbusi wakwaJuda uZerubabele nompristi omkhulu uJeshuwa noma uJoshuwa bawuqala kabusha umsebenzi wethempeli lesibili besabela ekushumayeleni komprofethi uHagayi noZakariya. UHagayi 1:14-15 usitshela ukuthi umsebenzi waqalwa kabusha ngosuku lwama-24 lwenyanga yesithupha (oluqondana noSeptember 22, 520 BC). Nokho umlayezo wokuqala wencwadi kaZakariya ungowenyanga yesishiyagalombili yalowo nyaka (ekupheleni kuka-October kuya ekupheleni kukaNovember)—inyanga eyodwa kuya kwezimbili ngemva kokuba umsebenzi uqalile. Ngokusobala uZakariya washumayela noHagayi ngaphambi kosuku lwama-24 lwenyanga yesithupha kodwa akazange awuthole umyalezo ovela kuNkulunkulu oqala incwadi yakhe kwaze kwaba yinyanga yesishiyagalombili. Ngamanye amazwi, inkonzo kaZakariya yaqala ngaphambi kokubhalwa kwencwadi yakhe.

UZakariya ungumProfethi Weshumi nanye kwabangu-11 AbaProfethi Abancane—ongowesibili kwabaProfethi abathathu basePostexilic. Uzibiza ngokuthi “uZakariya indodana kaBerekiya, indodana ka-Ido” ( Zakariya 12:1 ). U-Ezra ubhekisela kuye ngokuthi “uZakariya indodana ka-Ido” ( Ezra 1:5; 1:6 )—“indodana” kulokhu okusho ukuthi “umzukulu.” NjengoJeremiya noHezekeli, uZakariya wayengeyena nje umprofethi kodwa futhi wayengumpristi. Wazalelwa eBhabhiloni futhi wayephakathi kwalabo ababuyela ePalestine ngonyaka wama-14-539 ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu ngaphansi kobuholi bukaZerubabele noJoshuwa (cf. Ido, Neh 537:12). Kamuva, lapho uJoyakimi engumpristi ophakeme, uZakariya ngokusobala walandela umkhulu wakhe u-Ido ( Zak 4:1, 1 ) njengenhloko yomkhaya wabapristi ( Neh 7:12-10 ). Njengoba kwakungumzukulu (uZakariya) owalandela umkhulu (u-Ido) kulesi senzakalo, kucatshangwa ukuthi uyise (uBherekiya, uZak 16:1, 1) wafa esemncane, ngaphambi kokuba aphumelele ebunhlokweni bomkhaya. Nakuba ayephila ngesikhathi sikaHagayi, uZakariya waqhubeka nenkonzo yakhe isikhathi eside ngemva kwakhe (bheka uZak 7:1 no-1:7 noHag 1:1; bheka futhi uNeh 1:12-10). Uma sicabangela ubusha bakhe enkathini yokuqala yenkonzo yakhe ( Zak 16:2 , ‘insizwa’ ), kungenzeka ukuthi uZakariya waqhubeka kwaze kwaba sekubuseni kuka-Aritahishashita I (4-465 BC)” ( Expositor’s Bible Commentary, isethulo sikaZakariya. ). Izahluko 424-1 zikaZakariya zibhalwe ngesikhathi sokwakhiwa kabusha kwethempeli. Izahluko 8-9 azibhalwanga isikhathi futhi kukholakala ukuthi zabhalwa kamuva kakhulu.

Igama elithi Zakariya, elivamile eTestamenteni Elidala, lisho ukuthi “UYhwh Uyakhumbula.” I-Expositor’s ithi: “Amagama amathathu efomini eliphelele elibizwa ngokuthi uZakariya, uBerekiya, u-Ido) asho ukuthi 'iNkosi iyakhumbula,' 'iNkosi ibusise,' futhi 'ngesikhathi esifanele (?).' [Umhlaziyi uCharles] Feinberg… ehlanganisa la magama amathathu, ukholelwa ukuthi abonisa ukuthi ‘iNkosi iyakhumbula,’ futhi ‘iNkosi iyobusisa’ ‘ngesikhathi esimisiwe,’ okungukuthi, ngomqondo othile, okuyindikimba yencwadi” (phawula ngo-1:1). Umlayezo kaZakariya uwukuthi uNkulunkulu ngeke abakhohlwe noma abalahle abantu baKhe—uyobakhumbula futhi ababuyisele. Lokhu kakade kwase kubonakala ngokubuyisela uNkulunkulu ayekufeza ngaleso sikhathi. Futhi ngesikhathi esifanele uNkulunkulu wayeyothumela uMesiya ukuba alethele insindiso nenkazimulo yaphakade.

“UZakariya uvame ukubizwa ngokuthi ‘umprofethi wethemba’…. Incwadi [Yakhe] igcwele izikhombo kuKristu. Izikhombo eziphathelene noMesiya zihlanganisa ukuthobeka kukaKristu nobuntu bakhe ( 6:12 ). Bachaza ukukhashelwa Kwakhe nguJuda ( 11:12-13 ), ubunkulunkulu Bakhe ( 3:4; 13:7 ), ubupristi Bakhe ( 6:13 ), nobukhosi Bakhe ( 6:13; 9:9; 14:9 ) 16). UZakariya ukhuluma nangokushaywa kukaMesiya yiNkosi [umyalo] ( 13:7 ), ukufika kwaKhe kwesibili ( 14:4 ), ukubusa kwaKhe okukhazimulayo ( 9:10; 14 ), nokumiswa kwaKhe kokuthula kwezwe ( 9:9 ) 10:3-10; XNUMX:XNUMX). Ezincwadini ezimbalwa zeTestamente Elidala sithola ukunakwa okunjalo njalo kunikezwe uMsindisi ozayo” (Bible Reader's Companion, isingeniso sikaZakariya).

Encwadini yakhe ethi The Minor Prophets, uCharles Feinberg uthi: “Umkhathi ongokwesiprofetho kaZakariya ubanzi kakhulu kunowabanye abaprofethi abancane. Incwadi yakhe ibizwe ngokuthi i-apocalypse ngenxa yokuba khona kwemibono eminingi. Uhlala kuMuntu nomsebenzi kaKristu ngokugcwele kunabo bonke abanye abaprofethi abancane bendawonye” (ikhasi 273).

Akungabazeki ukuthi isigijimi sikaZakariya sasikhuthaza. NjengoHagayi, wabhekana nokusabela okuhle kubantu bakwaJuda. Lokhu kuholela embuzweni mayelana nokuthi kwenzekani ngalo mprofethi. Kamuva uJesu ukhuluma ngokubulawelwa ukholo okwesabekayo ‘kukaZakariya, indodana kaBherekiya, owabulawa phakathi kwethempeli ne-altare’ ( Mathewu 23:35 )—indawo okubonakala sengathi isikisela ukuthi isisulu kwakungumpristi, njengoba kwakuvunyelwe abapristi kuphela kule ndawo. Nokho kubonakala kuxakile ukuthi umbhali wencwadi kaZakariya wayehloselwe ukucabangela ukuthi u-Ezra no-Nehemiah abasho lutho ngesenzo esibi kangaka—esiyobe simelele ushintsho olukhulu endleleni abantu ababheka ngayo. Nokho, kungenzeka ukuthi uZakariya waphila ngemva kokuqedwa kwencwadi kaEzra nekaNehemiya nokuthi ukubulawa kwakhe ukholo kwenzeka ngaleso sikhathi—mhlawumbe abantu ababenomuzwa wokuthi izimemezelo zakhe eziphathelene noMesiya zehlulekile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abahlaziyi ngokuvamile baphetha ngokuthi uKristu wayebhekisele kuZakariya “indodana kaJehoyada” owakhandwa ngamatshe waze wafa egcekeni lethempeli ( 2 IziKronike 24:19-22 )—ebona uJehoyada njengoyisemkhulu noBherekiya njengoyise nakuba engashiwongo ngegama. emBhalweni (noma uBherekiya njengegama lesibili likaJehoyada). Incwadi yeziKronike yayiyincwadi yokugcina yeBhayibheli osukwini lukaJesu, futhi kuthiwa amazwi aKhe athi “igazi lika-Abela olungileyo kuze kube segazini likaZakariya indodana kaBherekiya” ayehloselwe ukusho ukufel’ ukholo “kusukela komunye umkhawulo wemiBhalo kuya komunye. .”

“Buyelani Kimi…nami ngizobuyela kini” (Zakariya 1:1-6)

Incwadi yomprofethi uZakariya ivula ngobizo lokuphenduka ( Zakariya 1:1-6 ). Nakuba uNkulunkulu ayezishukumisile izinhliziyo nezingqondo zabantu ukuba baqale kabusha umsebenzi wokwakha ithempeli, kusobala ukuthi babengaguqulwanga ngokugcwele. Ukusebenza ekwakheni kabusha kwakunganele. Kwakudingeka baqondise kabusha ukuphila kwabo ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu, bamkhonze ngenhliziyo yonke ngesimo sengqondo esifanele. Futhi babedinga ukuhlala endleleni— bahlale bengaguquguquki ekulaleleni (uhlelo olude kakhulu lwabantu ababengenawo amandla ahlala ngaphakathi kaNkulunkulu ngoMoya Wakhe). UHagayi wayesekhulume ngokudumazeka kwabaningi ngobubanzi bethempeli elisha uma kuqhathaniswa nelikaSolomoni ( Hagayi 2:3 ). Ukudumazeka kwakungase kubangele ukunganakwa nokuyeka njengoba kwakunjalo eminyakeni ethile ngaphambili. Ngakho uHagayi wanxusa ukuba aqine. NgoZakariya uNkulunkulu unxusa “ukubuya”—ukuphenduka.

Kwakudingeka ukuba abantu baqaphele ukuthambekela kwabo esonweni kanye nethuba lokuba bawele endleleni yokhokho babo yokulahla uNkulunkulu. (Ngempela, njengoba eyoku-1 Johane 1:7-8 ikwenza kucace, ngisho namaKristu eqiniso, aguqukile awaphumeleli ngaso sonke isikhathi emzabalazweni wawo oqhubekayo wokulwa nesono—futhi kumelwe ‘abuyele’ njalo futhi njalo kuNkulunkulu nasezindleleni zaKhe.) Nokho, isiyalo sokuthi abantu abangalandeli ezinyathelweni zokhokho babo kwakufanele babe isikhuthazo. Abadingiswa ababebuyile babenokuzikhethela kule ndaba—kwakungamelwe bahambe ngendlela yokhokho babo.

UNkulunkulu omkhulu wayenabo ukuze asize futhi aqondise labo ababezothembela Kuye futhi bazithobe Kuye—futhi aqondise futhi ajezise labo ababengafuni. “Qaphela isihloko esithi 'Nkosi YamaBandla' [Yhwh Sabaoth] kuso sonke lesi siqephu kanye naso sonke isiprofetho. Yigama likaNkulunkulu eliyisici kuHagayi, uZakariya, noMalaki, elivela izikhathi ezingaphezu kwezingamashumi ayisishiyagalombili. Inguqulo yesiGreki yeTestamente Elidala ilihumusha ngokuthi 'uMninimandla onke.' UNkulunkulu uyiNkosi yezinkanyezi, amandla ezulu, nawo wonke amandla omkhathi—igama likaNkulunkulu elihlanganisa wonke umuntu” (Feinberg, p. 275).

UZakariya 1:5-6 unikeza umbono obalulekile mayelana neziprofetho zeBhayibheli. Abaprofethi abaningi bangaphambili babexwayise ngokubhujiswa kwesizwe okwakuyofika kuIsrayeli noJuda ngenxa yokwehluleka kwabo ukulalela uNkulunkulu kodwa bafa ngaphambi kokuba kubhujiswe. Abaningi babheka ukufa kwabo njengesizathu sokubheka izixwayiso zabo njengezixwayiso ezingamanga. Nokho izimemezelo zabo zagcwaliseka. “Nakuba izithunywa zingase zihambe, amazwi kaNkulunkulu azoqhubeka egcwaliseka ( cf. Isaya 40:6-8 )” ( Expositor’s, inothi lamavesi 4-6). Abaningi namuhla bayasihleka usulu iziprofetho zesikhathi sokuphela, bethi labo abakhipha izixwayiso ze-apocalypse kudala bafa futhi abasekho—izimemezelo zabo azikhathazeki ngazo. Lolu hlobo lokucabanga luwubuwula. UNkulunkulu uSomandla usaphila. Nguye owenze izimemezelo ngezinceku Zakhe—futhi uzoqinisekisa ukuthi ziyagcwaliseka.

Evesini lesi-6, inkulumo ethi “Ngakho-ke babuya” noma “‘Khona-ke baphenduka’ [NIV] (‘bafika kubo,’ ‘bashintsha izingqondo zabo’) ngokusobala ibhekisela kulokho okwenzeka kokhokho bangaphambi kokudingiswa kanye/noma kokhokho babo. inzalo ngesikhathi sokudingiswa futhi ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho…. Kwadingeka bavume ukuthi babezilethele phezu kwabo isiyalo saphezulu sokudingiswa ngoba benqaba ‘ukulalela,’ noma ‘ukunaka,’ uJehova namazwi akhe esixwayiso ngezinceku zakhe abaprofethi. Kwakumelwe futhi bavume ukuthi uJehova wayelungile futhi elungile ekwahluleleni kwakhe, ngoba wayebenzele okwakufanele izindlela zabo nemikhuba yabo, konke ngokuvumelana nalokho ‘eyayinqumile ukukwenza’ ( cf. isiLilo 2:17 ).” (Isibonisi, inothi likaZakariya 1:4-6).

Abadingisiwe babeqinisekise abaprofethi bangaphambili abalahlwayo—amazwi abo ayegcwalisekile. Abantu bosuku lukaZakariya kwakudingeka bafunde izifundo futhi baphile ngokuvumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu. Yiqiniso, lesi sigijimi sasingesona esosuku lukaZakariya kuphela. La mazwi abhalelwa nakithi.

Imibono Yasebusuku: Amahhashi Phakathi Kwezihlahla Zomhobe (Zakariya 1:7-21)

Incwadi kaHagayi yaphela zingama-24 lwenyanga yesishiyagalolunye ngomnyaka wesibili kaDariyu. Incwadi kaZakariya iqala kabusha ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbili, ngolwezi-24 lwenyanga ye-11 (1:7)—okulingana maphakathi no-February ka-519 BC UZakariya 1:7-6:15 ubhala ukulandelana kwemibono eyisishiyagalombili (noma eyisikhombisa, kuye ngokuthi kanjani. babalwa) umprofethi abhekana nakho ngalobobusuku okwalandelwa ukuthweswa umqhele ongokomfanekiso kompristi omkhulu uJoshuwa, njengoba sizobona kamuva. Kule ngxenye, “uZakariya uphishekela isiphetho esifanayo nesikaHagayi, akha kabusha ithempeli njengesikhungo sokukhulekela nokubusa kwezwe, nanjengendawo yokuhambela izizwe (8:20-23; Hag. 2:7-9)” ( The Nelson Study Bible, phawula kuZakariya 1:7–6:15). Nokho uma sidlula kule mibono, cishe sizothola eminye yayo iphakathi kweminye yemibhalo ecashile neyimpicabadala kulo lonke iBhayibheli.

Umbono wokuqala ( 1:7-17 ) ubonisa indoda egibele ihhashi elibomvu emi emgodini noma esigodini phakathi kwemithi yemibomvana. “Imibomvana isihlahla esihlala siluhlaza esake savame kakhulu endaweni yaseJerusalema (Neh. 8:15)” ( phawula kuZakariya 1:8 ). “Umuntu” uchazwa evesini 11 ngokuthi “iNgelosi [malakh noma ‘isithunywa’] seNkosi.” Abaningi babheke lo musho lapha njengokubhekisela kuKristu ozelwe enyameni, njengoba kuvame ukuba njalo eTestamenteni Elidala. Cishe lokhu kunjalo njengoba isibalo esilapha ngokusobala sifana neNgelosi yeNkosi embonweni wesine wobusuku, njengoba sizobona kamuva, ngokusobala ingowaphezulu (bona 3:1-4).

I-Expositor’s Bible Commentary iyaqhubeka iphawula: “KusAmbulo 6:4 ihhashi elibomvu (bheka noZak 6:2) lihlotshaniswa nenkemba, ithuluzi lempi nokufa, okungase futhi kube ukubaluleka kombala lapha (cf. (Isaya 63:1-6). KuNehemiya 8:15 [ocashunwe ngenhla] imibomvana, ehlala iluhlaza, ihlotshaniswa noMkhosi Wamadokodo wokwenza amadokodo; naku-Isaya 41:19 no-55:13 afakiwe encazelweni yesibusiso sombuso wobuMesiya. Khona-ke, mhlawumbe akhuluma ngethemba nesithembiso sesikhathi esizayo, ukubuyiselwa ekuthunjweni eBabiloni kuyisigaba sokuqala sokugcwaliseka okuqhubekayo kwaleso sithembiso. Izihlahla zitholakala emhosheni. Ezansi kweNtaba Yeminqumo kunezihlahla zommbomvana endaweni ephansi kakhulu yesiGodi saseKidroni. Umhosha ungase ufanekisele isimo esiphansi sikaJuda ngaleso sikhathi; kodwa, njengoba kusikiselwe ngenhla, kukhona umsebe wokukhanya noma ithemba ngekusasa. Ngemva komgadi wehhashi kwakunamahhashi abomvu, ansundu, namhlophe—mhlawumbe [noma, mhlawumbe, mhlawumbe] enabagibeli bawo, njengoba ebika engelosini yeNkosi evesini 11. Laba abanye abagibeli noma amahhashi ngokusobala bamelela izithunywa eziyizingelosi (cf. Ivesi 10). Amahhashi amhlophe ahlotshaniswa nempindiselo kanye nokunqoba (cf. IsAm 19:11, 14 [kanye nesici sokunqoba esiku-6:2])” ( phawula kuZakariya 1:8 ). Kungenzeka ukuthi amahhashi ngokwawo amelela izingelosi, njengoba kungenzeka futhi kusAmbulo 19:11 nasevesini 14 (qhathanisa neHubo 18:10 ). Kungenzeka ukuthi kwakukhona izingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezihlola kabusha lapha kubo bonke abahamba “ezweni lonke” ( Zakariya 1:11; qhathanisa no-4:10 ). Sizophinde sibone umfanekiso wamahhashi anemibala ehlukahlukene ekupheleni kombono kaZakariya ebusuku esahlukweni 6 , lapho ‘bemagange ukuzulazula emhlabeni wonke’ ( ivesi 7 )—lapho bekhipha isahlulelo saphezulu phezu komhlaba. izizwe.

Umbiko amahhashi noma abagibeli bamahhashi abawunikeza iNgelosi yeNkosi esahlukweni 1 uthi wonke umhlaba uphumule ngokuthula (ivesi 9). Lena akuyona incazelo yoMbuso kaMesiya onokuthula ozayo. Kunalokho, kumelwe sibheke lo mbiko ngokuvumelana namazwi ashiwo uNkulunkulu evesini 15: “Ngithukuthelele kakhulu izizwe ezikhululekile.” Le ncazelo ihambisana nezimo zesikhathi lesi siprofetho esanikezwa ngaso. Khumbula ukuthi iminyaka emibili yokuqala yokubusa kombusi wasePheresiya uDariyu (522-520 BC) yayigcwele iziyaluyalu, njengoba ebeka phansi ukuhlubuka ngemva kokunye njengoba kulotshwe embhalweni wakhe odumile ophakeme emaweni aseBehistun (noma eBisitun) entshonalanga. I-Iran (bona www.livius.org/be-bm/behistun/behistun01.html). Kodwa ekupheleni kuka-520, wayesekwazi ukulawula kuwo wonke umbuso.

Ngakho uMbuso WasePheresiya wawulondekile futhi uJuda wahlala endaweni ephansi, ecindezelwe. “Umbiko wabagibeli bamahhashi kumelwe ukuba wabadumaza abantu bakaNkulunkulu abakhethiwe ngoba wawukhuluma ngokuthula nokuthula phakathi kwezizwe, kuyilapho, esikhundleni salokho, zazilindele ‘ukuzamazama kwazo zonke izizwe’ ( Hag 2:6-9, 20-23 ) Njengoba zazilindele ukunyakaziswa kwazo zonke izizwe. isibonakaliso sokubuyisa umusa nesibusiso esigcwele eSiyoni” ( Expositor’s, inothi kuZakariya 1:12 ).

Evesini 12 iNgelosi yeNkosi, futhi mhlawumbe ibhekisela kuMuntu owayezozalwa kamuva njengoJesu Kristu, inxusa uNkulunkulu esikhundleni sikaJuda (qhathanisa namaHeberu 7:25). Ephendula, uNkulunkulu umemezela ukushisekela kwakhe iJerusalema nentukuthelo Yakhe ngezizwe. UNkulunkulu “wathukuthela kancane” noma, mhlawumbe okuhunyushwa kangcono ngokuthi, “isikhashana uthukuthele” abantu Bakhe abonayo (bheka incwadi ethi Expositor, inothi emavesini 13-15). Kodwa manje intukuthelo Yakhe iphendukela emandleni ezizwe. Ngenkathi ebasebenzise ukujezisa u-Israyeli noJuda, ugqozi lwezizwe zabezizwe ekuhlaseleni kwabo abantu bakaNkulunkulu lwalubi (ivesi 15). Uma kubhekwa isici sesikhathi sokuphela eziprofethweni zalesi sigaba, kufanele sikubone ukuthula nokukhululeka kwezizwe emavesini 11 no-15 cishe abhekisela esikhathini sezinsuku zokugcina—lapho amandla ezizwe ebonakala enqoba, izinto zibonakala zithule. okwesikhathi esithile futhi u-Israyeli noJuda bayanqotshwa.

UNkulunkulu uthembisa ukuthi usazobonisa isihe eJerusalema, ukwelulwa komugqa womhloli wevesi 16 obonisa inhloso kaNkulunkulu yokwakha kabusha ithempeli nenhloko-dolobha yamaJuda.

Uma sicabangela lesi siprofetho ekukhanyeni kwalokho esesikubonile kakade kuHagayi nalokho okusazolandela kuZakariya, kubonakala sengathi uNkulunkulu akha indlu Yakhe evesini 16 wasebenza kwelinye izinga ekwakhiweni kabusha kwethempeli ngesikhathi salabo baprofethi, elinye izinga ekwakhiweni kwethempeli elingokomoya, iBandla (elalizoqala eJerusalema futhi libizwe ngokuthi iJerusalema elingokomoya neSiyoni), bese kuba kwelinye izinga kuze kufike eJerusalema leminyaka eyinkulungwane nethempeli nangale kwalokho. Phawula ukukhulunywa ngemizi esanda futhi echumayo evesini 17, kubhekisela ngokucacile ekusebenzeni okungokoqobo, kwesizwe kwesiprofetho. Ngaphandle kokumane ubhekisele ekubuyeni kukaJuda wasendulo, lokhu ngokuqinisekile kumelela—kucatshangelwa ukugxila okusobala kwesikhathi sokuphela ochungechungeni lwemibono lapha—ukubuyiselwa okuzayo kwawo wonke u-Israyeli.

Umkhulumeli uCharles Feinberg unikeza ukufingqwa okuhle kombono wokuqala: “Izici eziphawulekayo zenduduzo kaIsrayeli kulombono wokuqala yilezi: (1) ukuba khona kweNgelosi ka[Yhwh] phakathi kukaIsrayeli owehlisiwe nocindezelekile; (2) Ukuthandazela kwakhe ngothando nokulangazelela; (3) izithembiso zezibusiso zesikhathi esizayo. Ngakho-ke singase sithi incazelo yombono yilokhu: nakuba u-Israyeli engakafiki esikhundleni sakhe esithenjisiwe, uNkulunkulu uyamkhumbula, enikeza indlela yokwahlulela kwaKhe ezizweni ezishushiswayo, futhi egcinela uIsrayeli inkazimulo nokuchuma ezweni. ukubusa okunomusa nokunenzuzo kukaMesiya. Uchungechunge lwemibono lusiyisa ekusebenzelaneni kukaNkulunkulu noIsrayeli kusukela esikhathini sokujeziswa kwabo nguNkulunkulu ngaphansi kwemibuso yabeZizwe kuze kube yilapho bebuyiselwa ezweni labo nomuzi nethempeli labo elakhiwe kabusha ngaphansi kweNkosi yabo enguMesiya. Umbono wokuqala unikeza indikimba evamile yalo lonke uchungechunge; abanye banezela imininingwane…Lapho izwe limatasatasa ngezindaba zalo, amehlo kaNkulunkulu nenhliziyo kaMesiya kwakusesikhundleni esiphansi sakwaIsrayeli nasethempelini laseJerusalema” (ecashunwe kwethi Expositor, phawula emavesini 16-17). .

Naye lo mhlaziyi uphakamisa ukuthi umbono wokuqala ubeka inkundla kulabo abalandelayo. “Yonke imibono eyisishiyagalombili yakha iyunithi, futhi eyokuqala iyisihluthulelo sayo yonke” (Feinberg, The Minor Prophets, 1952, p. 275).

Izimpondo Ezine Nezisebenzi Ezine Ezinekhono ( Zakariya 1:7-21 )

Njengoba sicabanga ngalombono ongenhla, wokuthi umbono wokuqala uyisihluthulelo seminye imibono yasebusuku, umbono wesibili kaZakariya ( amavesi 18-21 ) uqondwa njengowukukhuliswa kolaka lukaNkulunkulu ezizweni ezikhululekile emavesini 11 no-15 . .

UZakariya ubona izimpondo ezine “ezihlakaze uJuda, u-Israyeli, neJerusalema” ( ivesi 19 ) zilandelwa yizingcweti ezine noma izisebenzi ezifika zizokwethusa futhi zikhiphe izimpondo ( amavesi 20-21 ). Uphawu lwezimpondo luvamile emiBhalweni. Ngokusekelwe kulokhu okungamathuluzi izilwane eziningi ezilwa ngawo, izimpondo zifanekisela amandla namandla ezizwe noma ababusi bazo (bona uDaniyeli 7:7-8, 24). Ngokuqondene nezingcweti, “igama lesiHeberu lisetshenziselwa noma yimuphi umsebenzi onekhono ngokhuni, ngensimbi, noma ngetshe” (ikhasi 278). Abanye bahumusha leli gama ngokuthi “abakhandi.” Lapha sinomfanekiso walabo abashaya ngesando, bagaye, baphahlaze, baphonse emlilweni, balolonge kabusha okusebenzisekayo futhi balahle okungatholakali. Empeleni, bangabasebenzi abanekhono lokubhubhisa.

Obani ngempela lezi zimpondo ezine akucaci kahle. Kubonakala sengathi bachazwa ngokuthi bahlakaze (inkathi edlule) abantu bakwa-Israyeli nabakwaJuda, okubukeka sengathi kukhomba izehlakalo ezase zenzekile. Nokho, isenzo sesiHeberu singase futhi sihunyushwe ngokuthi hlakaza (inkathi yamanje, bheka incwadi ethi Expositor’s, inothi elikuZakariya 1:18-19 ), okungase kubhekisele ekuhlakazeni okusazokwenzeka.

Izimpondo ngokuvamile zibonakala ngokuthi (ngokombono wenkathi edlule kuphela) iGibhithe, i-Asiriya, iBhabhiloni nePheresiya noma (ngombono wesikhathi esidlule kuya kwesakusasa) zifana nemibuso emine kaDaniyeli 2 no-7—iBhabhiloni, iPheresiya. , iGrisi neRoma. Inkinga eyodwa ngencazelo yokuqala ukuthi ayiqhubeki kuze kube sesikhathini sokubuyiselwa kokugcina kukaIsrayeli enkathini kaMesiya, ngokuvumelana nayo yonke eminye imibono kulesi sigaba. Inkinga eyodwa ngencazelo yesibili iwukuthi ishiya ngaphandle isizwe esahlakaza umbuso wasenyakatho wakwaIsrayeli—iAsiriya (bheka futhi ivesi 19 ). Enye inkinga ngazo zombili izincazelo ukuthi amaPheresiya awazange abahlakaze abantu bakwaJuda (bheka ivesi 21). Akunjalo namaGreki, ngisho nangesikhathi soshushiso lwamaSeleucus.

Konke lokhu njengoba kunjalo, incazelo engenzeka kakhulu yezimpondo ezine ingabonakala iwukuthi: 1) IAsiriya lasendulo, elathumba uIsrayeli nengxenye kaJuda; 2) iBabiloni lasendulo, elathumba uJuda; 3) iRoma lasendulo, kamuva elalizodingisa amaJuda aseJudiya; 4) imvuselelo yesikhathi sokuphela kwayo yonke lemibuso esesigabeni esisodwa samandla, esizoxosha ama-Israyeli namaJuda emazweni abo. Abakhandi abane abasusa lezi zimpondo babeyoba: 1) IBabiloni lasendulo, umnqobi weAsiriya; 2) iPheresiya lasendulo, umnqobi weBhabhiloni lasendulo; 3) izindimbane zamaGoth ezazizowisa uMbuso WamaRoma; 4) uMesiya, ozogcina ehlule umbuso wesikhathi sokuphela weRoma-iBhabhiloni ne-Asiriya.

Ekugcineni, uNkulunkulu uyasitshela kumaHubo 75:10, “Zonke izimpondo zababi ngiyakuzinquma, kepha izimpondo zabalungileyo ziyakuphakanyiswa.”

Ukulinganisa IJerusalema Ngokukhula Kwesikhathi Esizayo (Zakariya 2)

UZakariya 2 usiletha embonweni wesithathu wobusuku (amavesi 1-13). UFeinberg uthi: “Uma umbono wesibili ubonakala njengokukhulisa iqiniso lika-1:15, umbono wesithathu uwukuchazwa kwesithembiso esiku-1:16” (ikhasi 279). Lokhu kubonakala kunengqondo ngokuphelele, njengoba u-1:16 engakhulumi nje kuphela ngethempeli elakhiwayo kodwa futhi nomugqa womhloli owelulelwa phezu kweJerusalema, okubonisa ukwakhiwa kabusha nokwandiswa komuzi esikhathini esizayo. Lokhu kubuye kuchazwe ku-2:1-2. Phawula ukuthi iJerusalema liyoba “njengemizi engenazindonga” ( ivesi 4 ). Umphakathi uyochichima izindonga zomuzi, isiprofetho siyaqhubeka, njengoba kungadingeki ukuba abantu babuthane phakathi kwabo. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe uzosebenza njengesivikelo sabantu. Nokho ukungabikho kwezivikelo eziqinile akukabonakali idolobha laseJerusalema kusukela esikhathini sikaZakariya kuze kube manje. Ngempela, lesi simo ngokusobala siyinkathi kaMesiya. “Udonga lomlilo, olubonisa ukulondeka nokuphepha, lufana nensika yomlilo ku-Eksodusi. ( Phawula u-Eks 14:24 [namavesi 19-20 , lapho insika yayimi phakathi kwama-Israyeli nabaseGibhithe], no-Is 4:5 noZak 9:8 .) UNkulunkulu uyoba udonga lwalo lwensindiso nesivikelo ( Is 26:1 ) ). Inkazimulo yeShekina ithenjiswa lapha” (Feinberg, p. 280).

Ukuba khona kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ehlala ngaphakathi nakho kuxhumene noZakariya 1:16 , le ngxenye ebonakala iyandisa. Kwashiwo lapho ukuthi indlu kaNkulunkulu, indawo yakhe yokuhlala, yayizoba seJerusalema. Futhi, kubonakala sengathi kunokugcwaliseka ingxenye yaleli vesi eJerusalema elingokomoya, iBandla likaNkulunkulu, elithola ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu obuhlala ngaphakathi nesivikelo esiyisimangaliso esikhundleni sezivikelo ezingokomzimba. Kodwa ngokusobala okulotshwe lapha ngokuyinhloko kuyisiprofetho sezinsuku zokugcina. Njengoba uFeinberg ephawula: “Ngokuqinisekile ngeke kuphikwe ukuthi ukugcwaliseka kwalesi siprofetho kusenkathini yeminyaka eyinkulungwane ( Hab 2:14 ). Isihloko sombono siwukwakhiwa kabusha nokuhlaliswa kabusha kweJerusalema, okuveza amazwi ka-1:16-17 , futhi ukufezwa okuphelele kwala mazwi kuyoba ukumiswa kweJerusalema emhlabeni njengomuzi wokuhlala kukaNkulunkulu. Usuku olubusisiwe ku-Israyeli nomhlaba wonke oyoba khona” (ikhasi 280).

Ingxenye esele yombono wesithathu ( 2:6-13 ) inikeza imininingwane eyengeziwe ngokuphathelene nokwandiswa kweJerusalema kwesikhathi esizayo, ngokomoya nangokwenyama, nokuba kwalo indawo yokuhlala kaNkulunkulu ehlala njalo.

Amavesi 6-7 athi abantu abaningi abazoba baseSiyoni kudingeka babaleke baphume eBhabhiloni. Lokhu cishe kunamazinga amaningana encazelo. Okokuqala, kwakunesicelo sesikhathi sikaZakariya. Khumbula ukuthi lapho inkosi yasePheresiya uKoresi ingena emzini waseBhabhiloni yawulondoloza unjalo. Kodwa kwakuzoba kubi nakakhulu kamuva. UDariyu wayesanda kuqeda izihlubuki ezimbili lapho. Futhi owalandela uDariyu, indodana yakhe uXerxes, wayezophanga iBabiloni ngo-482 BC Ngemva kokuhlubuka kwakamuva, laphinde lanqotshwa u-Antiochus III Ochus cishe ngo-340 BC Kubonakala kunengqondo ukukholelwa ukuthi, ngezinga elithile, uZakariya wayexwayisa amaJuda ayesehlala ngokunethezeka. eBabiloni kulokhu kuhlasela okuzayo kanye nokubhujiswa okuwumphumela.

Ukwengeza, cabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhuluma nalabo “Abasabalalisile…njengemimoya yomine yezulu” (Zakariya 2:6). Kungenzeka ukuthi lokhu kukhuluma kumaJuda kulo lonke elaseBabiloni elihlakazekile (noma ukuhlakazeka) kusukela esikhathini sikaZakariya kuze kube namuhla—ukuthi abuye emphakathini osekelwe eBabiloni ukuze ahlale eJerusalema noma ezindaweni ezizungezile, ngaleyo ndlela andise inani labantu bakhona. Cishe kukhona futhi umuzwa wokubuyela kuNkulunkulu okuhloswe ngawo lapha. Labo ababeyoba ingxenye yeSiyoni elingokomoya, bayophuma “eBabiloni” lemibono nezindinganiso zamanga zaleli zwe. Futhi kukhona ngokusobala ukusetshenziswa kwesikhathi sokuphela kokweqa eBhabhiloni, njengaseziyalo zikaNkulunkulu ezicishe zifane zokwenza njalo kwezinye iziqephu (bona uJeremiya 50:8; 51:6; Isaya 48:20; Isambulo 18:4). Igama elithi “indodakazi yaseBhabhiloni” (Zakariya 2:7) lingase lisho ngisho nomfuziselo wesikhathi sokuphela wesimiso sangaphambili.

Evesini lesi-8 sithola ukuthi “iNkosi” ithi, “Ingithumile…”—okungukuthi, ngokusobala uKristu ozelwe enyameni uthi uNkulunkulu uBaba umthumile—kulokhu ukuba alethe isahlulelo phezu kwezizwe ezithathe isinyathelo ngokumelene naye. Abantu bakhe. Ukuthinta—ukulimaza—abantu bakaNkulunkulu kufana nokuthinta “inhlamvu yeso Lakhe,” okusho inhlamvu yeso, okungenye yezingxenye ezibaluleke kakhulu neziqashwe kakhulu zomzimba womuntu. Ngamafuphi, uNkulunkulu uthi, ukuhlasela abantu Bakhe kufana nokumgqokisa ehlweni. UNkulunkulu uyonikela lezi zizwe njengempango kulabo eziye zabacindezela, okungukuthi, ku-Israyeli wenyama nongokomoya (ivesi 9).

Nokho lesi akusona isigijimi esingenathemba ezizweni. Ngokuba lapho uNkulunkulu efika ezohlala eSiyoni (ivesi 10), “izizwe eziningi ziyohlanganiswa neNkosi ngalolo suku” futhi ziyoba abantu Bakhe futhi (ivesi 11)—ngaleyo ndlela andise kakhulu “umuzi kaNkulunkulu,” kuzo zombili lezi zizwe. umuzwa wenyama nokamoya. Ngempela, iJerusalema, njengoba kunjalo eziprofethweni eziningi, limelela sonke isizwe sakwaIsrayeli, futhi zonke ezinye izizwe kumelwe zibe ingxenye ka-Israyeli ngokomoya ukuze zibe abantu bakaNkulunkulu futhi, ekugcineni, zibe ingxenye yoMbuso waKhe. Kulowo Mbuso bayohlala Naye futhi uyohlala nabo njengomndeni owodwa kuze kube phakade. Phela, inkulumo ethi “iZwe Elingcwele,” nakuba ngokuvamile isetshenziswa namuhla, ivela emBhalweni kuphela evesini 12.

Isiphetho evesini 13 sokuba umhlaba uthule ulindele ukungenela nokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu ngokuyisisekelo siphindaphindwa kuHabakuki 2:20 .

UJoshuwa Umphristi Omkhulu Negatsha Elizayo (Zakariya 3)

Umbono wesine kaZakariya wobusuku uphathelene nompristi omkhulu wosuku lwakhe, uJoshuwa noma uJeshuwa, nokho njengomfuziselo waso sonke isizwe, njengoba sizobona. Khumbula ukuthi umpristi omkhulu uJoshuwa nombusi uZerubabele babehole emzamweni wokuqala wokuqalisa kabusha ukukhulekela eJerusalema nokuqala ukwakhiwa kwethempeli—futhi kamuva, ngemva kokuvumela ukwakhiwa kuqedwe, basabela ngokuphenduka ekushumayeleni kukaHagayi noZakariya, behola ibandla. isizwe ke ngomzamo omusha.

Evesini 1, elithi “yena” obonisa umprofethi isenzakalo samanje kungenzeka ukuthi ingelosi ehumusha ekhulume naye emibonweni edlule noma uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe, okubhekiselwe kuye evesini elandulelayo ( 2:13 ) futhi okukhulunywe ngaye ekuqaleni. njengokukhombisa izithombe kuye (bona 1:20).

Umpristi omkhulu uJoshuwa umi phambi kweNgelosi yeNkosi (3:1). Njengoba lesi sibalo siyakwazi ukususa ububi (bheka amavesi 3-4), ngokusobala kubhekiselwa kuKristu ongakabi senyameni. Ngempela, evesini lesi-2 sibona “iNkosi” ibiza ukusolwa kwehle “kuye iNkosi”—ngokusobala uKristu ebiza ukusolwa kwehle okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba.

Ukukhuzwa kubizwe kuSathane. “IsiHebheru ngokwezwi nezwi sisho ‘uSathane,’ okusho ‘uMmangaleli’” ( Nelson Study Bible, inothi elisevesini 1)—noma, ngokufanayo, “Isitha” noma “uMphikisi.” Igama elithi “phikisani” evesini 1 futhi, esimweni esingokomthetho, lingahunyushwa ngokuthi “beka icala.” “Ukumangalela kukaSathane kwenza [isehlakalo] sibe nomlingiswa wokwahlulela. Isikhundla sokuma ngakwesokunene kwakuyindawo yokumangalelwa ngaphansi komthetho (IHu 109:6). USathane uyazazi izinjongo zikaNkulunkulu ngo-Israyeli ngakho-ke ubelokhu esola amaJuda futhi ewasola namanje…. USathane ungummangaleli, hhayi kaJoshuwa kuphela (okungukuthi, u-Israyeli), kodwa futhi wawo wonke amakholwa ( Jobe 1-2; IsAm 12:10 )” ( Expositor’s Bible Commentary, phawula kuZakariya 3:1). Kuyathakazelisa ukukhumbula ukuthi amaSamariya, njengamanxusa kaSathane ukuze abhuntshise ukubuyiselwa kukaJuda nokukhulekelwa kwakhe, ayelokhu eletha amaJuda phambi kwesigodlo sombuso wasePheresiya ( Ezra 4:4-5 ).

Isizathu sokumangalela kukaSathane kuZakariya 3 ngokusobala ukungcola kukaJoshuwa, okufanekiselwa yizingubo zakhe ezingcolile. I-Expositor ithi embhalweni wayo evesini 3: “Igama lesiHeberu elithi soim ('okungcolile') 'liyinkulumo enamandla kakhulu olimini lwesiHeberu esho ukungcola kwesimilo esibi nesinyanyekayo' (Feinberg…). Abanye abahumushi bathi uJoshuwa wayembozwe indle—embonweni kuphela! Izingubo ezinjalo zimelela ukungcoliswa kwesono (cf. Isaya 64:6). Ukwandisa inkinga, uJoshuwa (okungukuthi, uIsrayeli), engcoliswe isono, wayekhonza kulesisimo esingcolile phambi kweNgelosi yeNkosi.”

UJoshuwa wayenecala lesono, njengoba ayekade eyeka ukwakhiwa kabusha kwethempeli ngesikhathi eqhubeka nenkonzo yobupristi. “Umpristi omkhulu wayemelela abantu phambi kukaNkulunkulu (bheka u-Eks. 28:29) futhi kwakungamelwe angcoliswe ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile noma abe ongcolile ( Eks. 28:2; Lev. 21:10-15 )” ( Nelson, umbhalo kaZakariya 3 :3). Kuyathakazelisa ukubheka umpristi omkhulu njengommeleli wesizwe, ngoba umfanekiso kaJoshuwa ngokusobala usetshenziswa ngaleyo ndlela kule ndima. Isizwe sonke, lesisizwe sabapristi (bheka u-Eksodusi 19:6), sasinecala phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

Ukubonakaliswa kwesizwe kusobala evesini 2. Esabela ekumangaleleni kukaSathane uJoshuwa, Lowo kamuva owayezoba uJesu Kristu uyaphendula, “INkosi ekhethile iJerusalema mayikujezise! Ulandela ngokuthi “Lona akulona yini uphawu olukhishwe emlilweni?” Ngaphambili uNkulunkulu wayetshele abantu bakwa-Israyeli ku-Amose 4:11 , “Ngachitha abanye benu, njengalokho uNkulunkulu wachitha iSodoma neGomora, naninjengesikhuni esophulwe ekushiseni.” Leso siprofetho sasikabili, sibhekisela ku-Israyeli wasendulo nowesikhathi sokugcina. Umbono wamanje uyafana kulokhu. I-Expositor's iyaphawula: “Ukukhuluma ngothi oluvuthayo olwahlwithwa emlilweni kuwuphawu olwengeziwe lokuthi u-Israyeli, hhayi uJoshuwa, ekugcineni. U-Israyeli wabuyiswa ukuze afeze injongo kaNkulunkulu yesikhathi esizayo ngaye (cf. Amose 4:11). 'Umlilo' ubhekisela ekuthunjweni kwaseBhabhiloni. Ngokomfanekiso, u-Israyeli wahlwithwa njengokhuni oluvuthayo kulowo mlilo. Nokho, lesi senzakalo singase sibheke emuva ekukhululweni eGibhithe (cf. Dut. 4:20; 7:7-8; Jer 11:4) futhi siqhubekele phambili nokukhululwa enkathini yosizi oluzayo (cf. Jer 30:7; Zak 13:8-9; IsAm 12:13-17)” ( phawula kuZakariya 3:2 ).

USathane usolwa ngokufanelekile nguNkulunkulu ngoba izinsolo zakhe, njengoba kuhlale kunjalo, ziyisiqongo sokuhlambalaza, ukuzenzisa nokusonta iqiniso. Kokukodwa, ukusola kukaSathane empeleni kwakugxeka uNkulunkulu, kubeka kungabaza ukuthi uNkulunkulu ophelele nolungile angamamukela kanjani umuntu ongcolile noma isizwe esingcolile enkonzweni Yakhe—futhi mhlawumbe esho ukuthi lonke icebo likaNkulunkulu lihlulekile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uSathane ngokwakhe wayeyisizathu esiyinhloko salokhu kungcola! Nakuba umpristi omkhulu nesizwe eqinisweni babenecala—njengoba kwenza abantu bazo zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli namuhla kanye naso sonke isintu ( Roma 3:9-19 )—uSathane, ‘njengomlingi’ ( bheka uMathewu 4:3; 1 Thesalonika 3:5), ungumshoshozeli omkhulu wazo zonke izono emhlabeni, eqinisweni unguyise wesono (NgokukaJohane 8:44). Ekugcineni, uNkulunkulu uhlose ukubuyisela isintu Kuye futhi abeke phezu kukaSathane icala nokulahlwa ngendima yakhe ehamba phambili ezonweni zesintu (bheka “Usuku Lokubuyisana: Ukususwa Kwesizathu Sesono Nokubuyisana KuNkulunkulu” ebhukwini lethu lamahhala elithi Uhlelo LukaNkulunkulu Losuku Olungcwele: Isithembiso Sethemba Laso Sonke Isintu, amakhasi 38-43).

KuZakariya 3:4 , iNgelosi yeNkosi (bheka ivesi 3)—futhi ngokusobala Lowo owayezoba uJesu Kristu—isusa ububi bukaJoshuwa. Ekuqaleni kwaleli vesi, utshela “abami phambi Kwakhe” ukuba bathathe izingubo zikaJoshuwa ezingcolile. Abaningi bahumusha abanye abemi lapha njengezingelosi, ezibophela emuva emibonweni yangaphambili. Nokho kwakungayiphi indlela ababengamathuluzi okukhumula ngayo izingubo zikaJoshuwa ezingcolile akucaci. Kungenzeka ukuthi lapha kukhulunywa ngezinye izinceku zikaNkulunkulu. Kwakungenxa yokushumayela kukaHagayi noZakariya lapho umpristi omkhulu uJoshuwa aphenduka khona. Eqinisweni, kwakungenxa yokushumayela kwabo lapho sonke isizwe saphenduka. UNkulunkulu ubelokhu esebenza ngabameleli abanjalo. Nokho, njengoba isiphetho sevesi 4 sisho, nguKristu uqobo Lwakhe owasusa ububi bukaJoshuwa futhi wamembathisa izingubo ezintsha—ngomhlatshelo Wakhe (lapho empeleni wayezothwala ukungcoliswa kwazo zonke izono zesintu njengomphathi wesono futhi athathe. kanye Naye ethuneni) bese ephila impilo Yakhe evukile phakathi kwalabo abayomamukela.

“UJoshuwa wayezogqokiswa izingubo ezinothile—ummeleli kaNkulunkulu embethe ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu. Inceku kaNkulunkulu yasuka engutsheni engcolile yangena engutsheni yemikhosi. Izingubo zomkhosi (igama lesiHeberu elisetshenziswe lapha naku-Isaya 3:22) zikhuluma ngobumsulwa, injabulo, nenkazimulo; kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi zifanekisela ukubuyiselwa kukaIsrayeli obizweni lwakhe lokuqala ( Eksodusi 19:16; Isaya 61:6 ). Kukhona umehluko lapha: UJoshuwa egqoke izingubo ezingcolile—uIsrayeli engumpristi kodwa engcolile futhi engcolile; UJoshuwa egqoke izingubo zomkhosi—inkazimulo yesikhathi esizayo ka-Israyeli ekuhlukaniselweni kabusha esikhundleni sobupristi” ( phawula evesini 4 ).

Isiqalo sevesi 5 ngokuvamile sibonakala njengenkulumo kaZakariya yentshiseko yokufisa ukuba ukubuyiselwa kobupristi kuqedwe. Nokho lokhu kungaba yingxenye yengcaphuno kaNkulunkulu evela evesini eledlule.

Emavesini 6-7 , uNkulunkulu uthembisa uJoshuwa (kokubili umpristi omkhulu wangempela kanye, ngokomfanekiso, isizwe sakwaIsrayeli) ukuthi ukwethembeka ezindleleni zaKhe kuyophumela egunyeni nomthwalo wemfanelo phakathi kwendlu nasemagcekeni kaNkulunkulu—osukwini lukaZakariya okusho ithempeli elakhiwe kabusha kodwa ngomqondo obanzi ubhekisela eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu. Labo abami noNkulunkulu, futhi, izingelosi noma izinceku zaKhe ezingabantu, abangcwele (abanjengoHagayi noZakariya), abayokwamukela uMbuso.

Evesini lesi-8 , “uJoshuwa nabangane bakhe babeyisibonakaliso ngoba ukumiswa kabusha kobupristi kwenza obala inhloso kaNkulunkulu eqhubekayo yokugcwalisa izithembiso zakhe kubantu baKhe” ( Nelson, phawula evesini 8 ). Ngempela, ukubuyisela kukaNkulunkulu uJoshuwa nobupristi kwakuzoba isibonelo esinamandla sendlela uNkulunkulu ayeyosibuyisela ngayo isizwe sonke. Ukususwa kobubi bukaJoshuwa evesini 4 kwakuhloselwe ukufanekisa ngokuqondile ukususwa kobubi bukaIsrayeli esikhathini esizayo (ivesi 9)—ekuqaleni koMbuso Weminyaka Eyinkulungwane (qhathanisa nevesi 10).

Futhi kukhona esinye isici kulesi sibonakaliso. UNkulunkulu uthi uJoshuwa kanye nabapristi abakanye naye “babeyisibonakaliso esimangalisayo, ngokuba bhekani, ngiyakuveza iNceku Yami UHLELO” (ivesi 8). Igatsha linguMesiya, uJesu Kristu (bheka futhi 6:12; Isaya 4:2; 11:1; 53:2; Jeremiya 23:5; 33:15). Manje sekusobala ukuthi kungani uJoshuwa kanye nabapristi abakanye naye bengabantu abafanayo [okungukuthi, abameleli]: isenzo sokuthethelela nokuhlanzwa sibheka leso sikaMesiya lapho isizwe singeke sigcine ngokuhlengwa kodwa empeleni, kanye nobubi baso kuze kube phakade. isusiwe” ( Feinberg, amakhasi 287-288). Ngisho negama elithi Joshuwa (noma elithi Jeshuwa, njengoba uEzra elihumusha) lalisho ukuthi “Okwaphakade Uyinsindiso.” Kuvela esimeni sakamuva sesiGreki saleli gama lapho sithola khona igama elithi Jesu—yena kanye Lowo okwakuyovela ngaye ukuhlengwa nensindiso, umPristi Ophakeme ophakeme umpristi omkhulu ongumuntu wakwa-Israyeli ayewumfanekiso nje wakhe.

Njengoba sizobona kamuva, uZakariya 6:9-13 ukwenza kucace ukuthi uJoshuwa, kwelinye izinga, wayefanekisela uMesiya. Ngempela, kukhona ukufana okumangalisayo esahlukweni 3. Njengoba uJoshuwa angcoliswa isono (esosizwe kanye naye uqobo), kanjalo noKristu (nakuba Yena ephelelisiwe) wayeyothwala ukungcola kwesono njengomthwali wesono wabantu. Njengoba uJoshuwa aphikiswa uSathane, uJesu wayeyoba njalo. Futhi njengoba uJoshuwa, embonweni, wembathiswa kabusha ngezingubo ezinothile ukuze akhonze njengompristi omkhulu ofanelekayo wesizwe, kanjalo uJesu wayengeke esathwala isono futhi esikhundleni salokho wayeyogqokiswa inkazimulo njengomPristi Ophakeme ophelele nophelele. UJoshuwa emi phambi kweNgelosi yeNkosi (uJesu) emfanekisweni wayezomela uJesu uqobo Lwakhe emi phambi kukaNkulunkulu uBaba. Ngakho sibona kulombono omangalisayo umsebenzi kaKristu wokuhlenga kukho kokubili ukufika Kwakhe kokuqala nokwesibili—okufana nesiphrofetho sakamuva encwadini kaZakariya (bona 9:9-17).

Kufanele kuphawulwe ukuthi konke lokhu kusahambisana nomfanekiso oshiwo ngenhla kaJoshuwa njengommeleli futhi wama-Israyeli—ngokwenyama nangokomoya—njengoba inkulumo ethi “iNceku” ka-3:8 isetshenziswa kokubili isizwe sabapristi noMesiya waso (bheka iBhayibheli Uhlelo lokufunda luphawula ku-Isaya 42).

Itshe elikuZakariya 3:9 lingase libe okunye okubhekiselwa kuMesiya. UFeinberg uyaphawula: “Ziningi izincazelo ezinikezwa itshe elishiwo lapha; kuthiwa iyitshe lesisekelo seThempeli, itshe lesisekelo seThempeli, itshe eliyigugu emqheleni kaMesiya, wonke amatshe ethempeli elakhiwa ngaleso sikhathi, uZerubabele, i-altare, itshe eliyigugu esivikelweni sesifuba sompristi omkhulu. noma emqhele wobukhosi, nethempeli eliqediwe ngokwalo. Indlela eyethulwe ngayo, nangenxa yalokho okushiwo ngayo, ireferensi cishe ingase ibe itshe elivamile lempahla. Sesikushilo kakade ukuma kwethu ukuthi lo unguMesiya. Ubufakazi bemiBhalo buyotholakala kuGenesise 49:24; IHubo 118:22; Isaya 28:16; Mathewu 21:42; IzEnzo 4:11; kanye neyoku-1 Petru 2:6” (ikhasi 287).

Abanye bacabanga ukuthi “amehlo ayisikhombisa” etshe amelela umbono ogcwele noma ophelele—isayensi yezinto zonke—njengoba isikhombisa ngokuvamile sisho ukuphelela emiBhalweni. Nokho, amehlo ayisikhombisa kungenzeka kube yilawo okubhekiselwa kuwo esahlukweni esilandelayo, “amehlo ayisikhombisa… hamba “hambahamba emhlabeni wonke” futhi ubikele uNkulunkulu ( 4:10 ). Inkulumo ethi “lawa mehlo ayisikhombisa” ku-1:11 ingase futhi ibhekisele “ezibanini eziyisikhombisa” zika-4:10, njengoba uJesu kamuva achaza ukuthi “isibani somzimba liso” ( Mathewu 4:2; Luka 6:22; 11).

Sizokubona okwengeziwe kwalokhu esifundweni sethu esilandelayo, kodwa cabangela okwamanje ukuthi encwadini yesAmbulo, umphostoli uJohane uthola umbono kaJesu Kristu ephakathi kwezinti zezibani zegolide eziyisikhombisa ezinezinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni saKhe sokunene ( 1:12-16 ). Uyatshelwa, “Izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa ziyizingelosi zamabandla ayisikhombisa, nezinti zezibani eziyisikhombisa… zingamabandla ayisikhombisa” (ivesi 20). Ngakho mhlawumbe umfanekiso okuZakariya 3:9 ngowethempeli likamoya, iBandla likaNkulunkulu. Lakhiwe phezu kweDwala lesisekelo, uJesu Kristu (Mathewu 16:18; 1 Korinte 10:4; Efesu 2:19-22). Njengoba iBandla liwuMzimba kaKristu, “izibani” zoMzimba Wakhe zaziyoba “amehlo.” Futhi lezi zinti zezibani eziyisikhombisa, lamabandla ayisikhombisa (ahlanganisa wonke), ngalinye liphathiswe umthwalo wemfanelo wenye yezingelosi eziyisikhombisa ezimelelayo—okubizwa nangokuthi “izibani zomlilo eziyisikhombisa ezivutha phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, eziyimimoya eyisikhombisa kaNkulunkulu” ( NW ) IsAmbulo 4:5; 3:1)—ngalo mqondo futhi abakhonza ‘njengamehlo’ kaNkulunkulu aqaphile.

Kufanele futhi sicabange ukuthi nakuba amehlo ayisikhombisa “ephezu” kwetshe engasho ukuthi itshe linamehlo ayisikhombisa, kungase kusho nokuthi amehlo ayisikhombisa abheke itshe—okulenza libe yindawo okugxilwe kuyo ukunaka noma okubhekwe kulo ukuze athole isiqondiso nosizo. ( qhathanisa neHubo 141:8 ).

Abaningi abahlobanisa itshe njengoMesiya babheka ukuqoshwa kulo njengokubhekisela—ikakhulukazi uma kukhulunywa ngenkulumo elandela ukususwa kobubi—ekunqunyweni kwenyama kaJesu emhlatshelweni waKhe ukuze enze isihlawulelo. Ngaphandle kwalokho, lo mfanekiso ungase uhlobane namaHeberu 1:2 , lapho uJesu kuthiwa “uwumfanekiso ncamashí” noma “umcibisholo” wobuntu bukaYise—isiGreki lapha siyigama elithi charakter, elisho “umdwebo,” esisuselwa kuwo. igama lethu lesiNgisi elithi “character” (Strong’s No. 5481). Isimo sikaNkulunkulu kufanele futhi siqoshwe ezinhliziyweni zawo wonke amakholwa.

Okunye okungenzeka mayelana netshe eliqoshiwe elabekwa phambi kukaJoshuwa ukuthi lalingase lihambisane nokubhekisela kusAmbulo 2:17 ‘etsheni elimhlophe . . . [negama] elisha elilotshiwe” elinikezwa amakholwa anqobayo. Itshe elinjalo lalingase libonise ukukhululeka emacaleni angokomthetho noma umvuzo wokunqoba (bheka umbhalo we-Nelson Study Bible kuleli vesi). Sizolihlola ngokwengeziwe leli vesi lapho sifika encwadini yesAmbulo ohlelweni Lokufundwa KweBhayibheli. Kwanele ukusho okwamanje ukuthi incazelo enjalo ngeke iwuvimbele umqondo wetshe nokuba uMesiya uqobo lwakhe, njengoba engumthombo wentethelelo, impilo entsha, ukunqoba kanye nomvuzo wabo bonke abantu bakaNkulunkulu.

Njengoba sekuchaziwe kakade, ukususwa kobubi bukaJoshuwa evesini 4 kwakuhloselwe ukufanekisela isiphetho sevesi 9, lapho uNkulunkulu ethi, “ngiyakususa ububi balelo zwe ngalusuku lunye.” Lokho uJuda abhekana nakho osukwini lukaZakariya kwakumane kuwumanduleli omncane walesi senzakalo esiprofethiwe. Lokhu uNkulunkulu abhekisela kukho lapha ukuphenduka kwesizwe sonke ekubuyeni kukaKristu (bheka uZakariya 12:10-14)—kanye nokuhlanzwa kwalabo abangafuni ukuphenduka. Ukusolwa kukaSathane ( 3:2 ) kuyogcwaliseka lapho exoshwa ngaleso sikhathi sokubuyisana kwesizwe futhi ukumangalelwa kwakhe kuphelile ( bheka isAmbulo 20:1-2 ). “Ngakho,” kubhala uPawulu, “u-Israyeli wonke uyakusindiswa, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: ‘UMkhululi uyakuvela eSiyoni, asuse ukungamhloniphi uNkulunkulu kuJakobe; ngokuba lokhu kuyisivumelwano sami nabo, lapho ngisusa izono zabo” (KwabaseRoma 11:26-27).

Isikhathi sicaciswe kuZakariya 3:10, ophinda isiprofetho seminyaka eyinkulungwane sikaMika 4:4 (bheka amavesi 1-5). Nokho manje kunezelwa isici sokuthi akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi wonke umuntu uyohlala ngaphansi komvini wakhe nomkhiwane wakhe, okubonisa ukuchuma komuntu siqu, kodwa bonke bayomema omakhelwane ukuba bahlanganyele nabo—okungabonisi nje abantu ngabanye abafinyelela omunye komunye, kodwa zonke izizwe zomhlaba bamenywa ukuba bahlanganyele ezibusisweni zika-Israyeli. Ekugcineni u-Israyeli uyoba isizwe sobupristi esilungile uNkulunkulu ayehlose ukuba sibe yiso.

“Kungabi Ngamandla noma Ngamandla, kodwa NgoMoya Wami” (Zakariya 4)

Embonweni kaZakariya wesihlanu wobusuku, sibona ukuthi “uyavuswa…njengomuntu ovuswa ebuthongweni bakhe” (ivesi 1). Lokhu kubonakala kusikisela ukuthi empeleni wayesalele, kodwa wavuswa enkathini yokuquleka wayiswa esimweni sephupho ukuze ezwe umbono olandelayo—kulokhu uthi lwesibani segolide, iminqumo emibili nesigijimi sikaZerubabele.

Incazelo yothi lwesibani lwegolide—ikhandela elinemibhobho nezibani eziyisikhombisa—ivusa, njengoba kwakuyoba njalo kubantu bosuku lukaZakariya, umfanekiso womfuziselo wamagatsha ayisikhombisa wethempeli. (Igama lesiHeberu elithi menorah liyigama elisetshenziswa kuzo zombili uthi lwezibani.) Nokho, okusha lapha isithombe sesitsha esingaphezu kwalo nesihlahla somnqumo ohlangothini ngalunye.

Njengoba kwaphawulwa oHlelweni Lokufundwa KweBhayibheli kumazwana esahlukweni 3, incwadi yesAmbulo isinika umfanekiso othi izibani, lapho izinti zezibani eziyisikhombisa zifanekisela amabandla ayisikhombisa akha iBandla likaNkulunkulu lonke (bheka 1:12-16, 20). Embonweni wasezulwini, umphostoli uJohane naye wabona “izibani zomlilo eziyisikhombisa zivutha phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, eziyimimoya eyisikhombisa kaNkulunkulu” ( IsAmbulo 4:5 )—okubonakala kufana nezingelosi ezimelela amabandla ayisikhombisa ( bheka 1:20 ) 3:1;

Isibani sivumela abantu ukuba babone ebumnyameni. Ngokombhalo kuwuphawu lweZwi nomthetho kaNkulunkulu, ukukhanya kweqiniso nokuqonda ukukhanyisa indlela abantu Bakhe okufanele bahambe ngayo (bona iHubo 119:105, 130; Izaga 6:23). UJesu Kristu, iZwi eliphilayo likaNkulunkulu, wathunyelwa emhlabeni njengokukhanya ( Johane 1:1-9, 14; 8:12; 9:5 ). Kodwa ukukhanya Kwakhe kufanele kukhanye kubo bonke abantu bakaNkulunkulu—hhayi nje ekumemezeleni iZwi likaNkulunkulu kodwa nangokuphila ngalo. Njengoba uJesu atshela abalandeli bakhe: “Nina ningukukhanya kwezwe. Umuzi ophezu kwentaba ungesithekile. futhi abasosi isibani basibeke ngaphansi kwesitsha, kodwa basothini othini, sikhanyisele bonke abasendlini. Kanjalo makukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuze babone imisebenzi yenu emihle [hhayi nje ulwazi namazwi] bese bekhazimulisa uYihlo osezulwini” ( Mathewu 5:14-16 ) .

Emfanekisweni kaJesu wezintombi ezihlakaniphile neziyiziwula kuMathewu 25:1-13 , izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zichazwa njengeziphethe izibani—ezihlakaniphile zinamafutha okugcina izibani zazo zivutha neziyiziwula ziswele amafutha ukuze izibani zazo zicime. Amafutha alapha—mhlawumbe amafutha omnqumo njengakwimenora yethempeli (bheka u-Eksodusi 27:20-21)—awukubasela ilangabi. Emfanekisweni kaKristu umele uMoya oNgcwele ezimpilweni zabantu bakaNkulunkulu. Ukuqhubeka nokubonisa umfanekiso, cabanga ukuthi amafutha ayeyi-ejenti yokungcwelisa ekugcotshweni nokuthi uJesu wagcotshwa ngoMoya oNgcwele (Izenzo 10:38). Uma sibuyela emzekelisweni wezintombi, kufanele siqonde ukuthi ukuze siqhubeke sikhanyisa ubufakazi bukaNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe kulokho esikushoyo nesikwenzayo, amaKristu adinga ukuhlinzekwa okungapheli kukaMoya oNgcwele (bheka kwabaseGalathiya 3:5; Filipi 1:19) ). Futhi njengoba umphostoli uPawulu atshela uThimothewu ngalowoMoya, kumelwe “sivuthele elangabini lesipho sikaNkulunkulu” (2 Thimothewu 1:6, NIV). Ngakho, kungoMoya kaNkulunkulu lapho abantu Bakhe bekwazi khona ukukhanya njengezinkanyiso futhi babhoboze ubumnyama balo mhlaba.

Umoya kaNkulunkulu uyingxenye eyinhloko embonweni ongokwesiprofetho kaZakariya 4. Ngempela, lapho uZakariya ebuza incazelo yezimpawu ( ivesi 5 ), impendulo yokuqala ayitholayo, esizoyihlola ngokuqhubekayo maduze, iwukuthi ifanekisela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Umoya (ivesi 6). Cabangela izici zesigcawu angasazi uZakariya—isitsha esingaphezu kwe-menorah neminqumo emi kwesokudla nakwesobunxele saso (amavesi 2-3). Ngokuthakazelisayo, kamuva sithola ukuthi imithi yomnqumo imelela abagcotshiweyo—ngokwezwi nezwi elithi “amadodana amafutha amasha”—“ami eduze kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke” ( ivesi 14 , JP Green’s Literal Translation ). Embonweni bema nhlangothi zombili zesitsha, okwakubonakala kukhomba lesisitsha njengokubili isitsha samafutha futhi njengoNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe—noma njengobukhona bukaNkulunkulu ngoMoya Wakhe. Ngempela, uNkulunkulu uyisitsha, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, ngoMoya waKhe uqobo. Isitsha lapha ngokusobala siwumthombo wamafutha e-menorah—njengoba nje uNkulunkulu engumthombo woMoya Wakhe, awunikeza abantu Bakhe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kufanele sicabange ukuthi lesi sigameko esihlobene nethempeli. I-menorah kwakuyithempeli elimelela ukukhanya kukaNkulunkulu njengoba kuphuma kubantu Bakhe—ikakhulukazi ethempelini Lakhe elingokomoya, iBandla. Njengoba inkazimulo yeShekina, ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu ngoMoya oNgcwele ohlala ngaphakathi, behlele phezu kwetabernakele likaMose nethempeli likaSolomoni, kanjalo lesisitsha esimele ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu nokunikezwa koMoya waKhe sihlala phezu kwemenora.
Akungabazeki ukuthi impendulo eyanikezwa ekubuzeni kukaZakariya yayihloselwe ukuba ibe isikhuthazo nesikhuthazo esikhulu kubantu bosuku lwakhe—ikakhulukazi kumbusi wakwaJuda, uZerubabele. Kodwa njengeminye imibono kaZakariya yalobobusuku obufanayo, lesi kwakungesona isiprofetho sesikhathi sakhe kuphela kodwa nesezinsuku zokugcina.

Umyalezo kaNkulunkulu kuZerubabele uwukuthi umsebenzi awenza, wokwakha ithempeli, ngeke ufezwe “ngamandla noma ngamandla”—okungukuthi, hhayi ngamandla noma ikhono lomuntu nje—kodwa ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu ( ivesi 6 ). . UZerubabele, njengoba sazi, wayeke wabhekana nakho kanzima. Akazange aphumelele ukudlula ezigabeni zesisekelo ngenxa yokuphikiswa kwamaSamariya kanye nabantu bakubo bephoxeka—futhi ngokusobala nokuntula kwakhe intshiseko. Izinto zazimile iminyaka. Manje umsebenzi wawususukile. Noma kunjalo, ukube bekuyekwa emzamweni womuntu nje, bekuyovela izinkinga futhi ukudangala bekuyophinde kunqobe. USathane, esebenzela ukuvimba abantu bakaNkulunkulu, wayeyonqoba. Empeleni kwase kunezimpawu zokukhathazeka. Abanye “badelela usuku lwezinto ezincane” (ivesi 10)—babheka umsebenzi omncane wethempeli lesibili njengento engelutho uma beqhathaniswa nenkazimulo yangaphambili yethempeli likaSolomoni (bheka uHagayi 2:3) noma bebheka izimo ezincane zamanje futhi bengacabangi ngeso lengqondo. ikusasa uNkulunkulu alithembisile.

Kodwa uNkulunkulu ukhanyisa iqiniso elimangalisayo lokuthi uMoya waKhe uyithuluzi elizofeza intando yaKhe. Kungamandla asebenza kubantu Bakhe ukubanika impumelelo ekugcineni—“amafutha” okukhanyisa izibani zabo ukuze bakhanyise inkazimulo Yakhe ekufezeni noma yini abathume ukuba bayenze. Lokhu kufanele kube isikhuthazo esikhulu kubo bonke abantu bakaNkulunkulu. Emsebenzini wokubamba iqhaza ekwakhiweni kwethempeli likaNkulunkulu elingokomoya, iBandla Lakhe, ngokuqinisekile ngeke siphumelele uma siyekwa ukuba sizenzele ngokwethu. Ukube siyekwa ukuba sizicabangele thina, besingeke siphumelele ukude ekuphileni uhlobo lokuphila uNkulunkulu alufunayo kithi. Kodwa asisodwa. UNkulunkulu uhlala enathi ukuze asisize. “Yeka ukuthi lesi sigijimi sifike ngesikhathi kangakanani osukwini lwethu namakomiti, amabhodi, imikhankaso, izinhlelo, izinhlangano, imiqhudelwano, isabelomali, abaxhasi, imibuthano, amaqembu nokunye okuningi. Laba abasoze bazuza ukuze bafeze umsebenzi uNkulunkulu asiphathise wona; njengoba kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni kuwumsebenzi kamoya, kufanele kube ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu onamandla onke nongehluleki futhi ongenaphutha. Ingalo yenyama iyehluleka; Akalokothi akwenze” (Charles Feinberg, The Minor Prophets, p. 290).

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuthi into iqala kancane akusho ukuthi izohlala injalo. Kungase kulindelwe izinto ezinkulu. Futhi kwakunjalo ngempela lapha. Ngempela, kamuva uJesu wayeyochaza ukuthi ngisho noMbuso kaNkulunkulu waphakade omkhulu nokhazimulayo uqala njengohlamvu oluncane lwesinaphi ( Mathewu 13:31-32 ). Usuku lwezinto ezincane luyisiqalo, alusona isiphetho. Kufanele sikukhumbule lokhu kuyo yonke imizamo yethu. Ngamandla kaNkulunkulu ngoMoya Wakhe engeziwe emizamweni yethu, lokho okuqala njengokuncane nokuncane kungakhula kufinyelele eziqongweni esingenakuzicabanga. Ngisho nezithiyo ezibonakala zingenakunqotshwa zinganqotshwa. Njengoba uJesu asho, “Kubantu akunakwenzeka, kodwa hhayi kuNkulunkulu; ngokuba kuNkulunkulu zonke izinto zingenzeka” (Marku 10:27).

UZakariya 4 unokuthile akushoyo ngezithiyo kule ndaba. Ngemva kokuchaza ukuthi imizamo kaZerubabele iyothela izithelo ngamandla oMoya kaNkulunkulu ( ivesi 6 ), uNkulunkulu uqhubeka athi: “Ungubani wena ntaba enkulu? Phambi kukaZerubabele uyakuba yithafa. (Ivesi 7). UJesu ngokufanayo watshela abafundi bakhe, “Uma ninokukholwa okungangembewu yesinaphi, niyakuthi kule ntaba: Suka lapha, uye laphaya, iyakusuka; futhi akukho lutho oluyokwenzeka kini” ( Mathewu 17:20 ). Kuzo zombili izimo, isithombe esokususa noma yiziphi izithiyo ezimi endleleni. Osukwini lukaZakariya, izithiyo kwakuwukumelana namaSamariya, ithonya elibi elingokomoya likaSathane kanye nokuthambekela kwabantu kokuyekethisa lapho bebhekene nokuphikiswa.

Ngokuthakazelisayo, isiprofetho sikaZerubabele lapha sibonakala sifana nesiprofetho esiku-Isaya 40 somuntu owayeyolungisa indlela ngaphambi kukaMesiya: “Izwi lomemeza ehlane lithi: ‘Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisa ogwadule umgwaqo kaNkulunkulu wethu. Zonke izigodi ziyakuphakanyiswa, zonke izintaba namagquma kuthotshiswe; izindawo ezimangelengele ziyakuqondiswa, izindawo ezimangelengele zibe bushelelezi…'” (amavesi 3-5). Umbono futhi owokususa izithiyo endleleni. Njengoba uHlelo Lokufunda IBhayibheli lukhulumela u-Isaya 40, lesi siprofetho sagcwaliseka ngokwengxenye uJohane uMbhapathizi, owalungisa indlela ngaphambi kokufika kukaKristu kokuqala, nokho sasizogcwaliseka ngomqondo okhudlwana ngaphambi kokubuya kukaKristu kwesibili—ukulungiselela isikhathi sokuphila. abantu ukuba baMamukele ngaleso sikhathi. Ngempela, kungase kube ukuthi okubhekiselwa kuZerubabele kuZakariya 4 akukona nje umbusi wosuku lukaZakariya—uZerubabele lapha angasho nozakwabo wesikhathi sokuphela, njengoba sizobona.

Ivesi 7, kuyi-NKJV nakwezinye izinguqulo, lithi uZerubabele “wayeyokhipha itshe lekhanda”—okungukuthi, lethempeli ayelakha. “Itshe lekhanda” laliyoba itshe eliphezulu eliqeda umsebenzi. Lokhu kuchaza kungabonakala kufanelana nevesi lesi-9, elithi, “Izandla zikaZerubabele zibeke izisekelo zaleli thempeli; izandla zakhe ziyakuqeda. Nokho igama letshe lesisekelo ngokwezwi nezwi lithi “itshe lesisekelo,” futhi abanye balinganisa lokhu “netshe legumbi” kumaHubo 118:22 (KJV)—okungukuthi, itshe legumbi lesisekelo (qhathanisa no-Isaya 28:16; Jobe 38:6). Nokho lokho kubonakala kungenangqondo esiprofethweni sikaZerubabele esikuZakariya 4:7 njengoba wayesesibekile kakade isisekelo sethempeli lesibili—eqinisweni wayenze umsebenzi wokwakha isisekelo kabili futhi wayengeke esawenza. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, abaningi bahumusha elithi “itshe eliyikhanda” lapha ngokuthi itshe lesisekelo—kodwa lingabhekisela etsheni legumbi lesisekelo uma kwakuhloswe uZerubabele wesikhathi esizayo nethempeli elihlukile.

Ngokudabukisayo, kunokungabaza ngokuthi uZerubabele wahlala yini njengombusi isikhathi eside ngalé kwesikhathi uZakariya anikeza lesi siprofetho—omunye umbuzo mayelana nokuthi wayesaqondisa yini ukwakhiwa kabusha kwethempeli lapho kuqedwa. Ngemva kokungenela kombusi wasePheresiya uDariyu ukuze akhuthaze ukwakhiwa kabusha kwethempeli kuEzra 6, esizokufunda maduze nje, akukhulunywa ngoZerubabele owasebenza kulo msebenzi ngesikhathi owaqedwa ngaso (bheka amavesi 13-22)—kuphela. kukhulunywa “ngabadala bamaJuda” abakha isakhiwo (ivesi 14). Abanye baye bacabanga ukuthi lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uDariyu noma omunye wabangaphansi kwakhe wamsusa uZerubabele esikhundleni.

Khumbula ukuthi uDariyu, ukuze azitholele esakhe isikhundla, wayesanda kuphelisa ukuvukela okulandelanayo embusweni wonke—okwakugqugquzelwa kakhulu ababethi bangene ezihlalweni zobukhosi zezindawo zabo. Futhi uZerubabele wayengowozalo lukaDavide. Encwadini yakhe ethi Old Testament History, uDkt. Charles Pfeiffer uyabhala: “Ukunyamalala kukaZerubabele esikhundleni sakhe njengombusi wakwaJuda kungase kube umphumela wokuhlelwa kabusha komphakathi okwabangelwa uDariyu. Akukho ukusikisela emibhalweni yeBhayibheli ukuthi wasuswa ngenxa yokuvukela umbuso, njengoba abanye besikisela. Iqiniso lokuthi igama lakhe livele liphume embhalweni weBhayibheli lingase lisikisele ukuthi ukuguqulwa kwenqubomgomo uDariyu awusungula kwaholela ekususweni kwakhe” (1973, p. 519).

Isazi-mlando uJohn Bright, kwethi A History of Israel, siveza ukuthi ezinye zeziprofetho zikaHagayi noZakariya zazingase zichazwe amaJuda angaleso sikhathi njengezikhomba kuZerubabele njengoMesiya. UBright uthi ngisho noma uZerubabele ngokwakhe wayengacabangi ngalezi zinkulumo, “inkulumo yayinobuthakathi, futhi uZerubabele wayengakwazi ukuyilawula. Lokho iziphathimandla zasePheresiya zaziyocabanga ngakho, ukube kwakufike ezindlebeni zazo, umuntu angakuqagela kalula. Futhi ngokusobala kwakukhona ababezikhandla ukuze babone ukuthi kwenzeka [ebhekisela kumaSamariya]…. Okwenzeka kuZerubabele kuyimfihlakalo. Kungenzeka ukuthi ekugcineni amaPheresiya awuzwa umuzwa kwaJuda amsusa. Kodwa asazi. Abukho ubufakazi bokuthi wabulawa. Nokho, njengoba singasazwa lutho ngaye, futhi njengoba kungekho noyedwa emndenini wakhe owamlandela, kungenzeka ukuthi amaPheresiya awaphuca indlu kaDavide igunya layo lezombangazwe” (2000, pp. 371-372). I<em>Expositor’s ithi omunye umhlaziyi “usikisela ukuthi uZerubabele cishe wabizelwa ePheresiya njengoba omunye wozalo lwakhe, uHattush, wabuya noEzra ( 8:2; 1 IziKronike 3:19-22 )” ( phawula uEzra 5:15-17 ).

Uma uZerubabele wayesaphethe lapho kuqedwa ithempeli, khona-ke amazwi kaZakariya 4:9 athi, “izandla zakhe ziyakuqeda,” ngokuqinisekile ayeyosebenza kuye. Kodwa kwakungeke kudingeke ukuba zisebenze kuye kuphela, njengoba kungase kube nokugcwaliseka kamuva lapho uZerubabele esebenza njengomfuziselo womunye umuntu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma uZerubabele ayengasekho esikhundleni lapho kuqedwa ithempeli lesibili, khona-ke ivesi 9 cishe alibhekiseli kuye nhlobo kodwa kumuntu wesikhathi esizayo ogcwalisa isikhundla esifanayo uZerubabele ayengumfanekiso wakhe. Kufanele futhi kukhunjulwe esibonelweni sikaEliya no-Elisha ukuthi ukuthunywa komuntu okukhethekile kungafezwa omunye umuntu—njengoba umyalo ka-Eliya ophindwe kathathu eNtabeni yaseSinayi ( 1 AmaKhosi 19:16 ) wafezwa ngokwengxenye kuphela kuyena, okunye kwakuwukuthunywa kwakhe. igcwaliswe u-Elisha nomunye u-Elisha amthuma.

Wayezoba ubani owakamuva kaZerubabele? Cabanga futhi izwi lomemeza ehlane ku-Isaya 40, elungisa indlela phambi kukaKristu. Njengoba sekuchaziwe, uJohane uMbhapathizi wayifeza leyo ndima ezingeni elilodwa. Waze “wakhipha itshe eliyinhloko ngokumemeza kokuthi ‘Umusa, umusa’” ( Zakariya 4:7 ). Njengoba amavesi amaningana ebonisa, uJesu uyitshe lesisekelo, inhloko yegumbi (bheka uMathewu 21:42; IzEnzo 4:11; 1 Petru 2:7, KJV). Futhi uJohane uMbhapathizi nguye owamemezela ngaye eJudiya, ememezela umusa waKhe ( Johane 1:14-16, 29 ). Ngaphezu kwalokho, cabanga ukuthi inkonzo kaJohane yayifanekisela omunye umsebenzi ofana no-Eliya wesikhathi sokuphela owawuzofeza ukubuyisela okukhulu futhi ulungiselele abantu ukubuya kwesibili kukaKristu (bona uMalaki 4:5-6; Mathewu 17:11-13). Yebo, abantu abalungiselelwa ezinsukwini zokugcina bayingxenye yethempeli elingokomoya. Ngakho siyabona futhi ukuthi umsebenzi kaZerubabele wokubuyisela ithempeli elibonakalayo ufana nomfuziselo wesikhathi sokuphela. Lo mlingani wesikhathi sokuphela angabandakanya ngisho nokubekwa kwesisekelo—ngoba nakuba, njengoba umphostoli uPawulu achaza, uJesu Kristu uyisisekelo sokugcina seBandla Lakhe (1 Korinte 3:11), wabuye washo ukuthi umsebenzi omkhulu wobuphostoli. endaweni empeleni kwakungukubekwa kwesisekelo (bona kwabaseRoma 15:20).

Nokho kufanele siqaphele ukuthi umakhi nomvuseleli oyinhloko kulesi sithombe uMesiya uqobo Lwakhe, uJesu Kristu. Lokhu kusobala kulokho okushiwo ekupheleni kwalolu chungechunge lwemibono kuZakariya 6:12 : “Bheka, uMuntu ogama lakhe linguHlumela; Uyakuhluma endaweni yakhe, akhe ithempeli likaJehova; yebo, uyakulakha ithempeli likaJehova.” Iphuzu liyaphindwa ukuze ligcizelelwe. Ngisho nomsebenzi owawenziwa uZerubabele umbusi empeleni wawungumsebenzi kaJesu Kristu—okungukuthi, uKristu nguye owayewenza. Endabeni yozakwabo wesikhathi sokuphela uZerubabele, futhi uKristu uyena ngempela owenza umsebenzi. Wafeza umsebenzi wokwakha ithempeli elingokoqobo. Futhi Ufeza ukwakhiwa kwethempeli elingokomoya. Njengoba asho, “Ngizolakha ibandla Lami” (Mathewu 16:18). Futhi Uzowuqeda lowo msebenzi.

UJesu futhi uyobangela ukuba kwakhiwe ithempeli elisha eMinyakeni Eyinkulungwane. Ngempela, ngaphandle kwalokho esesikubonile kakade, ukukhulunywa kwentaba enkulu eba ithafa phambi kukaZerubabele kuZakariya 4:7 kungase kuhlotshaniswe nalokhu. Ngoba uZakariya 14:10 uthi phakathi nokubusa kukaJehova, indawo yezintaba yaseJerusalema nendawo eyizungezile iyophendulwa ibe ithafa eliphakeme. Yebo, kufanele futhi sicabange ukuthi uZerubabele wasekuqaleni, uma evusiwe njengomunye wabangcwele bakaNkulunkulu, wayengadlala indima ephambili emsebenzini wokulungisa nokwakhiwa kwethempeli wenkathi yeminyaka eyinkulungwane. Kufanele futhi kuqashelwe ukuthi intaba enkulu eba yithafa abanye bayibona njengebhekise kuhulumeni wezwe kaSathane oqhunyiswa wasuswa ekubuyeni kukaKristu.

KuZakariya 4:10 , intambo yomthofu wokumisa esandleni sikaZerubabele, into yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izindonga ziqonde zibheke phezulu, kusho ukuthi umatasa nomsebenzi wakhe wokwakha. Ngokufana okungokomoya, uKristu wenza isiqiniseko sokuthi bonke bahambisana Naye. Futhi labo abangeke balethwe ekuvumelaneni bayahlanzwa (qhathanisa no-Amose 7:7; Isaya 28:17).

“Laba abayisikhombisa” abajabulela ukubona umsebenzi owenziwayo evesini elifanayo—okubhekiselwa kubo ngokuthi “amehlo eNkosi”—abanalo isandulela esiseduze. Kumelwe ukuba ibhekisela ezibanini eziyisikhombisa zalo mbono ( ivesi 2 ) noma emehlweni ayisikhombisa ombono odlule ( 3:9 )—noma womabili uma izincazelo zawo zihambisana. Ngempela, imimoya eyisikhombisa ibonakala imi njengabameleli bezingelosi bamabandla ayisikhombisa akha iBandla likaNkulunkulu lonke. Lokhu kwahlolisiswa ngezinga elithile kumazwana okufundwa kwethu kwangaphambilini. Nakuba ingxenye yalokho okuhloswe ngakho lapha kungenzeka ukuthi uNkulunkulu nezingelosi Zakhe bejabule ngomsebenzi obuyiselwe kaZerubabele ethempelini elingokoqobo, umfanekiso uyasebenza naseBandleni nezingelosi ezimelele ukujabulela ukwakhiwa kwethempeli likamoya nokuhlanzwa kwalo. izinkinga. ( U-Amose 5:7-9 uchaza umbono kaNkulunkulu emi odongeni nentambo yomthofu wokumisa, elubeka phakathi kukaIsrayeli ukuze abonise abantu njengabagwegwile futhi asuse noma yini engahambelani Naye nendlela Yakhe.)

UZakariya manje ubuyela ekubuzeni kwakhe, emangazwa incazelo yemithi yominqumo emibili esembonweni ( Zakariya 4:11 ). Evesini 14 kubhekiselwa kubo njengabagcotshiweyo ababili noma, ngokwezwi nezwi, “amadodana amafutha amasha” ( Green’s Literal Translation )—ngokusobala abondliwe endishini engenhla kwendawo, emelela uNkulunkulu njengechibi loMoya Wakhe. Kodwa ukugeleza koMoya kaNkulunkulu akugcini ngezihlahla zomnqumo. Evesini 12 , uZakariya uchaza amagatsha omuthi ngamunye—noma “amahlukuzo amabili omnqumo” ( Green’s Literal Translation )—aconsa amafutha emapayipini egolide aseduze kwawo. Ngakho, lawa madodana amabili amafutha awagcotshwanga ngoMoya kuphela, futhi ayagcoba—awuphathise abanye.

Encwadini yakhe ethi Glory in Our Midst: A Biblical-Theological Reading of Zechariah’s Night Visions, uDkt. Meredith Kline uyaphawula ngale ndima: “Ukungaqondi kahle kwamadodana amafutha njengabagcotshiweyo [mane nje] kuye kwaholela ekuchazeni okuvamile kwalaba ababili. njengezikhundla zobukhosi nezobupristi, ezazimelelwe uZerubabele noJoshuwa ngosuku lukaZakariya. Kodwa uma imithi ingumthombo (ongumlamuleli) wamafutha agelezela esihlahleni, uma amadodana amafutha kungebona abagcotshiweyo kodwa abagcotshiweyo, kufanele sicabange ngabaprofethi, hhayi amakhosi noma abapristi. Abaprofethi, ngokuvelele umprofethi wepharadigm uMose, babengamanxusa kaNkulunkulu ayinhloko ekugcotshweni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kusAmbulo] 11:4 kungofakazi ababili abayisiprofetho [ivesi 3] okuthiwa bayizihlahla zomnqumo ezimbili. Ngaphezu kwalokho, incazelo yamadodana amafutha ‘njengami ngakuNkosi yomhlaba wonke,’ okungukuthi, njengezinceku zayo, ivumelana negama elijwayelekile labaprofethi njengezinceku zikaNkulunkulu ( cf Amose 3:7; Jer. 7 :25:25; IsAm. 4:10; Le ncazelo iphinde ikhombise ukukhonjwa okungokwesiprofetho ngokuthi isho isimo salabo abangeniswa emkhandlwini ongcwele…ilungelo elikhethekile labaprofethi” (7, pp. 11-18).

Ngosuku lukaZakariya uqobo, yena noHagayi babengabaprofethi ababili uNkulunkulu abasebenzisa enkonzweni ekhethekile yoMoya Wakhe ukuze abuyisele isizwe kuYe—ukubuyisela, ngobizo lokuphenduka, uZerubabele, uJoshuwa kanye nesizwe babuyele emsebenzini. ababizelwa khona. Ngalowo mqondo, uZakariya wayenikezwa umbono ophathelene nomsebenzi wakhe. Nokho umbono wawungewona owaleso sikhathi kuphela njengoba sesibonile. UNkulunkulu uye waliphinda leli phethini emlandweni. Ofakazi ababili bokugcina besikhathi sokuphela bayonikezwa amandla amakhulu okufeza umsebenzi wabo (bheka iSambulo 11:3-6). Nokho, njengenhlalayenza, amandla okwenza intando kaNkulunkulu ngeke aqhamuke kubo—ngempela ngeke. Kunalokho, kuyoba okukaMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu—njengoba kufanele kube njalo. Leso yisifundo okumele sonke sisifunde.

Umqulu Ondizayo kanye ne-Efa Lobubi (Zakariya 5)

Sifaka isihloko sethu emqulwini ondizayo njengoba lolu cwaningo lungafiki esiphethweni esifanayo.

Isahluko 5 sisinikeza lokho ngokuvamile okubhekwa njengombono kaZakariya wesithupha nowesikhombisa ebusuku. Nokho, kubonakala kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi zakha umbono owodwa ezingxenyeni ezimbili. Encwadini yakhe ekhuluma ngemibono kaZakariya, uDkt. Meredith Kline wethula lesi sahluko ngale ndlela: “Ngokuvumelana nephethini yamagama esethulo (cf. 1:7-8; 1:18…2:1…3:1; 4:1; 2:5 -1; 6:1; 1:7) kunemibono eyisikhombisa kuZak. 6:8-5:3 , hhayi isishiyagalombili [njengoba ngokuvamile kubalwa], ngoba uZakariya 5 akufanele ahlukaniswe abe imibono emibili kodwa ubhekwa njengenye, umbono wesithupha. Izethulo zemibono emibili engoziqu-zintathu ephakathi kombono wehinji elimaphakathi ( Zakariya 5 ) zonke zihlanganisa umusho othi, ‘Ngabona futhi bheka,’ kodwa awukho kuZak. 5:2, lapho abahlaziyi abaningi bebezoqala khona umbono ohlukile. Umusho esiwuthola esikhundleni sevesi 3 ufana nalowo ophawula maphakathi, hhayi isiqalo, sombono okuZak XNUMX:XNUMX.

“Ubunye bezingxenye ezimbili zikaZakariya 5 buboniswa futhi ukuhlobana okuthile kohlelo lolimi namagama. Ngakho-ke, isijobelelo 'ekubukeni kwabo' (v. 6) sinesandulela saso amasela nabafungi bamanga bevesi 3. Futhi inkulumo ethi 'kulo lonke izwe' (v. 6) iqala kabusha 'izwe lonke' ku-v. 3. [I-NKJV 'inomhlaba wonke' kuzo zombili izindawo.] Okuphoqa kakhulu, nokho, ukuhlobana okucacile kwezihloko zezingxenye ezimbili zesahluko kanye nokuhlangana okumangalisayo komfanekiso wazo. Umbono wesithupha ubonisa isiqalekiso sokwahlulelwa kokudingiswa, uhlukanisa izigaba zaso ezimbili ezihlukene: ukubhujiswa kwezisulu ezweni lakubo ( amav. 1-4 ) nokudingiswa ngokuthuthela kwelinye izwe ( amav. 5-11 )” ( Inkazimulo Phakathi Kwethu: Ukufundwa Kwebhayibheli-kweTheological of Zechariah's Night Visions, p.

Isihloko esikhulu ngemibono kaZakariya siwukuvuselelwa kokomoya. Lokho kuhlanganisa nokubuyisela abaphendukile kanye nokujezisa labo abangakaphenduki—kokubili izici zakhona zazifanekiselwa umthofu wokuqondisa wesahluko esandulele (bona 4:10). Manje, esahlukweni 5, sibona isinyathelo sokuqondiswa kwezigwegwe esithathwe ngempela.

Isahluko sivula ngomqulu ondizayo onesiqalekiso. Isithombe sokundiza lapha sitolikwa ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene. Abanye bathi kumelela ukushesha kwesijeziso esizayo (bona Feinberg, The Minor Prophets, p. 293). Abanye basikisela ukuthi ukundiza kukhombisa ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukubalekela isahlulelo esilethwa umqulu (Umngane Womfundi WeBhayibheli, izahl. 5-6 isifinyezo). Kanti abanye bagomela ngokuthi ukundiza kumane nje kubonise umqulu njengongasongwa—ungambulwa—ukuze bonke bawufunde ( Expositor’s Bible Commentary, inothi eliku-5:1-2 ). Nakuba kungase kufanekise zonke lezi zinto, cishe kunencazelo eqondile, njengoba sizobona. Phawula ukuthi umqulu ulandela abephula umthetho kaNkulunkulu ( ivesi 4 ).

Ubukhulu bomqulu buyizingalo eziyi-10 by 20 (ivesi 2). Ngokusebenzisa ingalo encane kakhulu engamasentimitha angu-18, leyo ingaba amafidi angu-15 ubude—kodwa ingaba nkulu kancane uma kuhloswe ingalo enkulu. Kunoma ikuphi, lokhu kungase kufane nebhodi lokukhangisa elikhulu, futhi abanye bathi leli iphuzu—ukuthi lalilikhulu kakhulu ukuba libonwe yibo bonke. Nokho abanye babonisa, njengoba kwenza uFeinberg, “indawo engcwele etabernakele likaMose [okusekelwe ezilinganisweni ezikuEksodusi] kanye nompheme weThempeli likaSolomoni (lapho uMthetho wawuvame ukufundwa khona) kwakunezilinganiso ezifanayo ( 30 AmaKh 1 :6). Umbono wawuzosifundisa ukuthi ubungcwele bendlu engcwele yeNkosi buyisilinganiso sesono nokuthi ukwahlulela kufanele kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu. (Bheka 3Pe 1:4-17)” (iph. 18). Phawula futhi ukufana okungenzeka noHezekeli 293:9-5 , lapho isijeziso sikaIsrayeli sasizoqala khona endlini engcwele kaNkulunkulu. Isiqalekiso esikuZakariya 6:5 sibe sesiphumela “kulo lonke izwe.” “Umhlaba wonke” nawo ungaba neqiniso uma lokhu kufanekisa ama-Israyeli esikhathi sokuphela ahlakazeke emhlabeni wonke—njengoba abantu bakwa-Israyeli nabakwaJuda bebonakala bengabamukeli bokujeziswa kulesi siprofetho.

Kline uthi: “Ngokuchaza umqulu uZakariya awubona ‘njengesiqalekiso’ ( Zak 5:3 ), ingelosi isitshela ukuthi uwumbhalo wesivumelwano, isivumelwano seNkosi esanikezwa ngoMose…. Ingxenye evamile yezivumelwano [zeNkosi yenkosi yasendulo] kwakuyizijeziso, ezazihlanganisa izibusiso kodwa zazinesisindo esikhulu ngasohlangothini lwesiqalekiso [ngokungathembeki] (bheka uDut 8:1-68; 29:16-28; cf. 27:11; 26-26; Levi 3:39-5 . Ukwenziwa kwalesi sijeziso sesiqalekiso sika…[ubudlelwane besivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu no-Israyeli] esivezwe kuZakariya 5. Inkulumo ekuZakariya 3:32, ‘ngapha…ngaphesheya’ [ibhekisela ekubhaleni nhlangothi zombili umqulu], ngokunokwenzeka ubhekisela ngokuqondile ezibhebheni zesivumelwano zaseSinayi [okungukuthi, izibhebhe zamatshe zeMiyalo Eyishumi], njengoba usetshenziswe ku-Eksodusi 15:28 ukuchaza lezo zibhebhe zamatshe njengoba zilotshwe nhlangothi zombili. Kodwa umqondo ungase ube [ukubonisa] ukuthi isiqalekiso sihlasela lapha nalaphaya, okungukuthi, yonke indawo kulo lonke 'izwe' (cf. Dut. 16:19-178)” (ikhasi XNUMX).

Uma inkomba ihloselwe ukuhambisana nokulotshwa kweMithetho Eyishumi, kuyathakazelisa ukucabangela izono ezimbili ezishiwo emavesini 3-4—ukweba nokufunga amanga ngegama likaNkulunkulu. Esokuqala siwukwephulwa koMthetho Wesishiyagalombili, okungenzeka ukuthi uvele ngemuva kwezibhebhe zemiyalo. Ngokuqondene nesono sesibili, kuyilapho abanye besibheka njengokumane sinikeza ubufakazi bamanga (ukwephula uMyalo Wesishiyagalolunye), isici esingathi sína kakhulu sokufakazela amanga lapha siwukwephula isifungo esenziwe egameni likaNkulunkulu futhi kanjalo siphathe igama likaNkulunkulu ngeze—ngaleyondlela kweqa uMyalo Wesithathu. , okwakuyovela ngaphambili ezibhebheni zemiyalo. Imithetho emine yokuqala ifingqa umsebenzi womuntu kuNkulunkulu futhi eyisithupha yokugcina ifingqa umsebenzi womuntu maqondana nomunye umuntu. Abanye babona ukwephulwa koMthetho Wesithathu kanye Nowesishiyagalombili njengokumelela ukwephulwa kwazo zombili izici zomthetho ngokuvamile, nakuba ukwephulwa okuqondile okwengeziwe kungase kuhloswe.

Qaphela ukuthi isijeziso sabephula isivumelwano siwukuxoshwa (ivesi 3) kanye nokubhujiswa kwezindawo zokuhlala (ivesi 4). Nakuba ukuxoshwa kungase kusho ukufa, kubonakala kuhlobana nengxenye yakamuva kaZakariya 5, lapho ububi buyaboshwa buyiswe kwelinye izwe ( amavesi 5-11 ).

Cabanga ukuthi uZakariya ubona okuthile “okuphuma” ezweni ( amavesi 5-6 ). Kuyi-New King James Version kuthiwa “ubhasikidi,” nokho isiHebheru sangempela, njengoba sihunyushwa kuyi-King James Version, siyi-efa, ingxenye enkulu yesiHeberu yasendulo yesilinganiso esomile, cishe ingxenye yebhakeli. Kunjalo, kusobala ukuthi kukhona ubhasikidi, umgqomo noma esinye isiqukathi njengoba sinesivalo esinzima kuso (bheka amavesi 7-8). Kubhasikidi kuhlala owesifazane obizwa ngokuthi “Ububi”—ukwenziwa samuntu kwesono nobufebe babantu obungokomoya futhi okungenzeka ukuthi umelela abantu ababi ngokwabo. Baqoqwe, njengokungathi, ngesilinganiso esigcwele—okungukuthi, bonke—bese bephoqwa futhi bavalelwa. Sibe sesibona umfanekiso wabesifazane abaphiko beza ukuzobathwala babayise eShinari—okungukuthi, ezweni laseBhabhiloni (amavesi 9-11).

UKline uchaza lo mbono ngale ndlela, ehlanganisa zombili lezi zingxenye: “Lapho ebiza uIsrayeli ukuba afunge ukwethembeka kwesivumelwano sakhe uMose wabikezela: ‘Kuyakuthi uma ningamlaleli uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, zonke lezi ziqalekiso ziyokwehlela phezu kwenu. …[iziqalekiso] ziyokusukela, zikufice uze ubhujiswe’ (Dut 28:15, 45)” (ikhasi 178). Lokhu kubonakala kuyincazelo engenzeka kakhulu yomqulu ondizayo. UKline uyaqhubeka: “Okuyinhloko phakathi kweziqalekiso ezisongelwa kwakuyoba ukuvinjezelwa nokucekelwa phansi kwezindawo zabo zokuhlala ezweni elingcwele nokudingiselwa kwelinye izwe. “UJehova uyakuletha isizwe ngokumelene nawe esivela kude…esindiza njengokhozi” (Duteronomi 28:49). ‘Bayokuvimbezela kuwo wonke amadolobha akho zize ziwe izindonga zakho eziphakeme nezinezivikelo eziqinile ezweni lakho lonke’ (Duteronomi 28:52). “Niyosishulwa ezweni… futhi uJehova uyonihlakaza phakathi kwabantu bonke” (Duteronomi 28:63-4). Ngosuku lukaZakariya isahlulelo esinjalo sokuthunjwa sase sehlele uIsrayeli noJuda ngokufanayo [uIsrayeli ezandleni zabase-Asiriya noJuda ezandleni zabaseBabiloni], futhi manje labo abasanda kubuyiselwa kulokho kuthunjwa kwaseBabiloni baxwayiswa uZakariya ukuthi futhi esikhathini esizayo abanjalo abanjalo. isiqalekiso sasiyokwehlela umphakathi wesivumelwano. Izindlu zabephuli besivumelwano ezweni lesethembiso zaziyoqedwa (Zak 5:1-4) futhi zona ngokwazo zaziyosuswa ziyiswe ezweni laseShinari (Zak 5:5-11)” (ikhasi 178). Phawula ukuthi “indlu” esezweni lendabuko iyabhujiswa ( ivesi 4 ) futhi “indlu” entsha ibalindele ezweni laseBhabhiloni ( ivesi 11 ).

AmaJuda aseJudiya abhekana nokucekelwa phansi nokudingiswa okunjalo cishe emakhulwini ayisithupha eminyaka kamuva ezandleni zoMbuso WamaRoma, owalandela uMbuso WaseBabiloni futhi ngokuyisisekelo ukuqhubeka kwesimiso saseBabiloni. Elindele le nhlekelele, uJesu wayeze abaxwayise: “Bhekani! Indlu yenu ishiywa nani isiyincithakalo” ( Mathewu 23:38 )—okuhambisana noZakariya 5:4 . Nokho lokhu kwakumane kuyisandulela sokubhujiswa okuyokwehlela kokubili u-Israyeli noJuda ezinsukwini zokugcina ezandleni zoMbuso WaseRoma ovuselelwe oqokwe emiBhalweni njengeBhabhiloni lesikhathi sokuphela.

Abesifazane ababili abanamaphiko bamelela amabutho asusa ama-Israyeli (bheka ivesi 9). Zifanekiselwa ngamaphiko njengezikanogolantethe. “Unogolantethe uyinyoni efudukayo evame ukubonakala ihamba enyakatho ngasesigodini saseJordani entwasahlobo yonyaka” ( Nelson Study Bible, inothi elisevesini 9 ). “Labo abajwayelene nemikhuba yale nyoni basazisa ukuthi ekufudukeni kwayo kwaminyaka yonke, unogolantethe empeleni uhamba ibanga elide kunalelo elisuka eJudiya liya eShinari” ( Feinberg, p. 296). “Ukucaciswa kwamaphiko njengezikanogolantethe kungase kube ngenxa yokufaneleka kwamaphiko aqinile kanogolantethe kulesi sabelo, kodwa…ukungcola kukanogolantethe kufanele kube okufanelekile (cf. Lev 11:19; Dut. 14:18 ). Ama-agent angcolile asetshenziswa nguMahluleli ka-Israyeli ukususa ukungcola ezweni lakhe elingcwele eBhabhiloni elingcolile, indawo yokuhlala amademoni kanye nokubamba yonke imimoya engcolile nenyoni engcolile (IsAm 18: 2) "(Kline, p. 186).

Nakuba kubonakala sengathi abesifazane ababili abanamaphiko bathwala i-efa ndawonye, ​​kungase kube ukuthi omunye uyalithatha bese kuba omunye—mhlawumbe okubonisa ukudingiswa kwamaRoma kwamaJuda ngezikhathi zabaphostoli bese kuba ukuthunjwa kwaseBabiloni kwesikhathi sokuphela. Uma abesifazane bephethe ubhasikidi ndawonye, ​​​​bangamela u-Israyeli nabathumbi basendulo bakwaJuda, i-Asiriya neBhabhiloni, kuhlanganiswe esikhathini sokuphela embuthweni wamandla ofanayo. Kungenjalo, zingamela izingxenye ezimbili zeBhabhiloni lesikhathi sokuphela, njengamandla enkolo yomibili (IsAmbulo 17) kanye nombuso wezohwebo (IsAmbulo 18).

Iphuzu eliyinhloko likaNkulunkulu kuZakariya 5 libonakala sengathi ububi abunandawo emphakathini Wakhe wesivumelwano. Kunalokho, liyohlanzwa futhi lithunyelwe lapho lifaneleka khona, eBabiloni—isizinda sakho konke ukuphikisana noNkulunkulu—okuyothi, njengoba isahluko esilandelayo sibonisa, liyohlangabezana nesahlulelo saKhe. Nokho njengoba sizobona futhi, ithemba lisekhona lokuphenduka esikhathini esizayo.
