Isixazululo esihle kakhulu seminyaka emisha

Wake wazibuza ukuthi uNkulunkulu unendaba yini noNcibijane? UNkulunkulu usesikhathini esibizwa ngokuthi iphakade. Lapho edala abantu, wababeka ngendlela yesikhashana ehlukaniswe yaba yizinsuku, amasonto, izinyanga neminyaka. Kunamakhalenda amaningi ahlukene asetshenziswa abantu kulo mhlaba. UNyaka Omusha WamaJuda awugujwa ngosuku olwandulela uNcibijane, nakuba kunezimiso ezifanayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi usebenzisa liphi ikhalenda, Usuku Lonyaka Omusha luhlala luwusuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala yonyaka wekhalenda. Isikhathi sibalulekile kuNkulunkulu. AmaHubo alandisa ngomthandazo kaMose ethandazela ukuhlakanipha ekubhekaneni nezikhathi: “Izinsuku zeminyaka yethu ziyiminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa, nalapho isinamandla iminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili, nokuziqhenya kwayo kungukukhandleka nobuze, ngokuba ukushesha kuyadlula; ngindiza lapho. Ngakho-ke sifundise ukubala izinsuku zethu ukuze sibe nenhliziyo ehlakaniphile!” ( IHubo 90,10:12 no Eberfeld Bible ).

Into eyodwa iBhayibheli elisifundisa yona ngobunjalo bukaNkulunkulu ukuthi ubeka ijubane futhi wenza izinto ngesikhathi esifanele. Uma kwenzeka okuthile ngosuku lokuqala noma lwamashumi amabili lwenyanga, kuyakwenzeka ngalona lolo suku, kuze kube yihora, yebo kuze kube umzuzu. Akuyona into eyenzeka ngengozi noma isimo esiphuthumayo, uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu. Impilo kaJesu yahlelwa kwaze kwaba sekugcineni, ngokwesikhathi nendawo. Ngisho nangaphambi kokuba uJesu azalwe, icebo lalungiswa futhi uJesu waphila ngalo. Lokho kungenye yezinto ezifakazela ubunjalo bukaJesu bobuNkulunkulu. Akekho ongabikezela ukuthi ukuphila kwakhe kuyoba njani, njengoba kwenza uJesu nabaprofethi ababengaphambi kwakhe. Kokubili ukuzalwa kukaJesu nokubethelwa nokuvuka kwakhe kwabikezelwa ngabaprofethi eminyakeni eminingi ngaphambi kokuba kwenzeke. UNkulunkulu wenza futhi washo izinto eziningi ngoSuku LwamaJuda Lonyaka Omusha. Nazi izibonelo ezintathu ezivela emlandweni weBhayibheli.

Umkhumbi kaNowa

Lapho uNowa esemkhunjini phakathi negagasi elikhulu, kwadlula izinyanga ngaphambi kokuba amanzi abothe. KwakungoSuku LweNcibijane lapho uNowa evula ifasitela futhi wabona amanzi eshona. UNowa wahlala emkhunjini ezinye izinyanga ezimbili, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi wayesekujwayele ukunethezeka nokuvikeleka ayekunikwa umkhumbi wakhe. UNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuNowa, wathi: "Phuma emkhunjini, wena nomkakho, namadodana akho, nabafazi bamadodana akho kanye nawe!" (1. mose 8,16).

UNkulunkulu wacela uNowa ukuba aphume emkhunjini, ngemva kokuba wonke umhlaba wawusuwomile. Ngezinye izikhathi sibhekana nezinkinga ekuphileni kwethu. Kwesinye isikhathi sivaleleke kuzo futhi sikhululeke kakhulu ukuthi singahlukana nazo. Sesaba ukubashiya ngemuva. Noma ngabe ukuyiphi indawo yokunethezeka, ngoSuku Lonyaka Omusha 2021 UNkulunkulu ukutshela amazwi afanayo nawasho kuNowa: Phuma! Kunomhlaba omusha laphaya futhi ulinde wena. Izikhukhula zangonyaka odlule kungenzeka ukuthi zakukhukhula, zikuwise phansi, noma zikuphonsele inselelo, kodwa ngoSuku LweNcibijane kuwumyalezo kaNkulunkulu wokuthi uqale phansi uthele. Kuthiwa ingane eshile iyobalekela umlilo, kodwa akufanele wesabe. Unyaka omusha uyaqala, ngakho-ke phumela ngaphandle - amanzi afikile phezu kwakho acwile.

Ukwakhiwa kwethempeli

UNkulunkulu wayala uMose ukuba akhe ithempeli elifana netende. Lokhu kwakufanekisela indawo lapho uNkulunkulu ayehlala khona nabantu. Ngemva kokuba impahla isilungisiwe, uNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: “Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala wolimisa itabernakele letabernakele.”2. (Funda uMose 40,2). Ukwakha iqhugwane lepensela kwakuwumsebenzi okhethekile owawubekelwe usuku olukhethekile - uSuku Lonyaka Omusha. Ngemva kweminyaka eminingi, iNkosi uSolomoni yakha ithempeli ngezinto eziqinile eJerusalema. Leli thempeli langcoliswa futhi lahlukunyezwa abantu ngezikhathi ezizayo. INkosi uHezekiya yanquma ukuthi kufanele kushintshe. Abapristi bangena endaweni engcwele yethempeli, baqala ukuyihlambulula ngoSuku Lomnyaka Omusha: “Kepha abapristi bangena endlini kaJehova ukuba bayihlambulule, babeka konke okungcolile okwafunyanwa ethempelini likaJehova. igceke lendlu kaJehova, amaLevi alithatha, alikhiphela emfudlaneni iKidroni. Kodwa ngokungcwelisa baqala ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala, kwathi ngolwesishiyagalombili lwenyanga bangena emphemeni weNkosi, bangcwelisa indlu kaJehova izinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili; ngosuku lweshumi nesithupha lwenyanga yokuqala baqeda ukushumayela. umsebenzi »(2. 2 IziKr9,16-enye).

Kusho ukuthini lokhu kithi? ETestamenteni Elisha uPawulu ukhuluma ngokuba kwethu ithempeli likaNkulunkulu: “Anazi yini ukuthi niyithempeli likaNkulunkulu nokuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu uhlala kini na? Uma umuntu echitha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uyakumchitha yena, ngokuba ithempeli likaNkulunkulu lingcwele;1. AbaseKorinte 3,16)
Uma ungakakholwa kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ukumema ukuba usukume ube yithempeli Lakhe futhi uzoza ahlale kuwe. Uma usukholelwa kuNkulunkulu kakade, khona-ke isigijimi sakhe siyefana naleyo eyanikezwa amaLevi ezinkulungwaneni zeminyaka edlule: ukuhlanza ithempeli ngoSuku LukaNcibijane. Uma ungcolile ngenxa yokungcola kobulili, inkanuko, ubutha, ukuxabana, umhawu, ukufutheka kwentukuthelo, ubugovu, ukungezwani, umona, ukudakwa nezinye izono, uNkulunkulu ukumema ukuba uhlanzwe Nguye futhi uqale ukukwenza ngoNcibijane. . Ingabe usuqalile? Kungaba isinqumo esihle kakhulu soNyaka Omusha empilweni yakho ukuze ube ithempeli likaNkulunkulu.

Phuma eBhabhiloni!

Kukhona okunye okwenzeka kuNcibijane okulotshwe encwadini kaEzra. U-Ezra wayengumJuda owayedingiswe namanye amaJuda amaningi eBhabhiloni ngoba iJerusalema nethempeli kwakubhujiswe abaseBhabhiloni. Ngemva kokuba iJerusalema nethempeli sekwakhiwe kabusha, umbhali u-Ezra wanquma ukubuyela eJerusalema. Wayefuna ukufundisa abantu ngokugcwele lokho okusemiBhalweni. Nathi singathanda ukwenza okufanayo futhi sithi kini: Namuhla siyithempeli likaNkulunkulu elingokomoya nebandla lakhe. Ngakho ithempeli laliwuphawu kithina makholwa kanye neJerusalema uphawu lwebandla. “Ngoba ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala wanquma ukukhuphuka eBhabhiloni, futhi ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yesihlanu wafika eJerusalema, ngoba isandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wakhe sasiphezu kwakhe.” ( Ezra [space]]7,9).

Wanquma ukulishiya iBhabhiloni ngoSuku LweNcibijane. Ngalolu suku lukaNcibijane, nawe ungakhetha ukubuyela esontweni (elimelwe iJerusalema). Ungase ubambeke eBhabhiloni lendlela yakho yokuphila, umsebenzi wakho, izinyathelo zakho ezimbi. Kunamakholwa asekhona ngokomoya eBhabhiloni, noma engakwazi ukufeza imisebenzi ephuthumayo evela eJerusalema, ibandla. Njengo-Ezra, ungakhetha manje ukuthatha uhambo lwakho lokubuyela ekhaya - esontweni. Isonto lakho likulindile. Kungaba uhambo olunzima, ikakhulukazi izinyathelo zokuqala eziya ekhaya. Uyazi, uhambo olude luqala ngesinyathelo sokuqala ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala. Kwamthatha izinyanga ezine u-Esra ukufika. Unethuba lokuqala namuhla.

Ngithemba ukuthi uyobheka emuva ngobusuku obandulela uNcibijane bese uthi: «Ngiyajabula ngokuthi, njengoNowa, ngaphuma endaweni yokunethezeka yomkhumbi, ngangena ezweni elisha uNkulunkulu ayemlungiselele lona. NjengoMose, owamisa itabernakele ngoSuku Lonyaka Omusha, noma njengo-Ezra, owanquma ukulishiya iBabiloni ukuze afunde okwengeziwe ngoNkulunkulu! Ngikufisela unyaka omuhle kakhulu!
