Kungani kuneziprofetho?

477 isiprofetho Kuyohlale kukhona umuntu othi ungumphrofethi noma okholelwa ukuthi angabala usuku lokubuya kukaJesu. Ngisanda kubona ukulandisa kukarabi okuthiwa wayekwazi ukuhlobanisa iziprofetho zikaNostradamus neTorah. Omunye umuntu wabikezela ukuthi uJesu uzobuya ngePhentekoste 2019 kuzokwenzeka. Abaningi abathanda iziprofetho bazama ukuxhumanisa izindaba ezihamba phambili neziprofetho zeBhayibheli. U-Kark Barth wayala abantu ukuthi bahlale bebambelele ngokuqinile emiBhalweni njengoba efuna ukuqonda kangcono izwe lanamuhla elishintsha njalo.

Inhloso YomBhalo WeBhayibheli

UJesu wafundisa ukuthi inhloso yombhalo kwakuwukuveza uNkulunkulu - isimilo sakhe, injongo yakhe, kanye nengqikithi yakhe. IBhayibheli liyifeza le nhloso ngokukhomba kuJesu oyisambulo esiphelele nesokugcina sikaNkulunkulu. Ukufunda imibhalo egxile kuKristu kuzosisiza ukuthi sihlale sifezekile kule nhloso futhi kuzosisiza sigweme ukutolika kabi iziphrofetho.

UJesu wafundisa ukuthi uyisikhungo esiphilayo saso sonke isambulo seBhayibheli nokuthi kufanele sihumushe yonke imiBhalo (kuhlanganise nesiprofetho) kuleso sikhungo. UJesu wabagxeka kakhulu abaFarisi ngokwehluleka kuleli phuzu. Nakuba babefuna ukuphila okuphakade emibhalweni engcwele, abazange babone uJesu njengomthombo walokho kuphila (Joh 5,36-47). Okuxakayo ukuthi, ukuqonda kwabo kwangaphambili kwemiBhalo kubaphuphuthekisile ekugcwalisekeni koMbhalo. UJesu wabonisa indlela yokuchaza iBhayibheli ngokunembile ngokubonisa indlela yonke imibhalo ekhomba ngayo kuye njengokugcwaliseka kwayo4,25-27; 44-47). Ubufakazi babaphostoli eTestamenteni Elisha buqinisekisa le ndlela yokuhumusha egxile kuKristu.

Njengomfanekiso ophelele kaNkulunkulu ongabonakali (Kolose 1,15) UJesu wembula ingqikithi kaNkulunkulu ngokusebenzisana kwakhe, okubonisa izenzo zikaNkulunkulu kanye nesintu. Lokhu kubalulekile ukukhumbula lapho ufunda iTestamente Elidala. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ukusivimbela ekwenzeni izinto ezifana nokuzama ukusebenzisa indaba kaDaniel e-Lions Den esimweni samanje emhlabeni wethu, njengokuvotela isikhundla sezombusazwe. Iziprofetho zikaDaniyeli azikho ukuze zisitshele ukuthi ubani okufanele sikhethe. Kunalokho, incwadi kaDaniyeli isitshela ngendoda eyabusiswa ngokwethembeka kwayo kuNkulunkulu. Ngale ndlela uDaniyeli ukhomba uNkulunkulu othembekile ohlale enathi.

Kodwa ingabe iBhayibheli linendaba?

Abantu abaningi bayangabaza ukuthi incwadi endala njengeBhayibheli isengasebenza nanamuhla. Kakade, iBhayibheli alisho lutho ngezinto zesimanje ezinjengokwakhiwa kwamatshe, ukwelashwa kwanamuhla, nokuhamba emkhathini. Isayensi nobuchwepheshe besimanje buphakamisa imibuzo nezimfumbe ezazingekho ngezikhathi zeBhayibheli. Kodwa-ke iBhayibheli libaluleke kakhulu osukwini lwethu ngoba lisikhumbuza ukuthi intuthuko yethu kwezobuchwepheshe ayisishintshanga isimo somuntu noma izinhloso ezinhle zikaNkulunkulu ngesintu.

IBhayibheli lisenza siqonde indima yethu ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu, kuhlanganise nokuza okuphelele kombuso wakhe. UmBhalo usisiza ukuba sibone incazelo nenjongo yokuphila kwethu. Usifundisa ukuthi impilo yethu ayipheleli ezeni, kodwa iphokophele ekuhlanganeni okukhulu lapho siyohlangana khona noJesu ubuso nobuso. Ibhayibheli liyasambulela ukuthi kunenhloso empilweni - sadalelwa ukuthi sihlanganiswe ebunyeni nasekuhlanganyeleni noNkulunkulu wethu onguziqu-zintathu. IBhayibheli futhi linikeza umhlahlandlela wokusihlomisela le mpilo ecebile (2. UThimothi 3,16-17). Lokhu ikwenza ngokusikhomba njalo kuJesu, osinika ukuphila okuchichimayo ngokusinika ukungena kuBaba (Joh. 5,39) futhi usithumelela uMoya oNgcwele.

Yebo, iBhayibheli linokwethenjelwa, linenjongo ehlukile, efaneleke kakhulu. Yize kunjalo, iyaliwa ngabantu abaningi. Ngekhulu le-17, isazi sefilosofi esingumFulentshi uVoltaire wabikezela ukuthi eminyakeni eyikhulu iBhayibheli liyonyamalala ebumnyameni bomlando. Hhayi-ke wayenephutha. IGuinness World Records iqopha iBhayibheli njengencwadi edayiswa kakhulu kunazo zonke. Kuze kube manje, sekuthengiswe futhi kwasatshalaliswa amakhophi angaphezu kwezigidigidi ezi-100. Kuyahlekisa futhi kuyahlekisa ukuthi ikhaya likaVoltaire eGeneva, eSwitzerland, lathengwa yiGeneva Bible Society futhi lasebenza njengesikhungo sokusabalalisa iBhayibheli. Kakhulu ukubikezela!

Inhloso yesiprofetho

Ngokuphikisana nalokho abanye abangakucabanga, inhloso yesiprofetho seBhayibheli akusikho ukusisiza ukubikezela ikusasa, kepha ukusisiza sazi uJesu njengeNkosi yomlando. Iziprofetho zilungiselela futhi zikhomba indlela kaJesu. Qaphela lokho umphostoli uPetru akubhalile ngokubizwa kwabaprofethi:

Abaprofethi, abaprofetha ngomusa omiselwe nina, bafuna futhi baphenya le ntokozo [njengoba kuchazwe emavesini ayisikhombisa adlule], futhi baphenya ukuthi uMoya kaKristu ukhomba kusiphi futhi isikhathi sini, owayekubo futhi wafakaza ngaphambili. ngezinhlupheko ezizakuba phezu kukaKhristu lenkazimulo emva kwalokho. Kwambuliwe kubo ukuthi kufanele bakhonze nina, hhayi bona ngokwabo, ngalokho enishunyayelwe kini manje ngabanishumayeza ivangeli ngoMoya oNgcwele, owathunywa evela ezulwini.”1. UPetrus 1,10-enye).

UPetru uthi uMoya kaKristu (uMoya oNgcwele) ungumthombo weziprofetho nokuthi inhloso yazo ukubikezela ukuphila, ukufa, nokuvuka kukaJesu. Kusho ukuthi uma uzwile umlayezo wevangeli, uzwile konke odinga ukukwazi mayelana neziphrofetho. Umphostoli uJohane wabhala ngalokhu ngendlela efanayo: “Khulekani uNkulunkulu kunalokho! Ngokuba isiprofetho sikaMoya kaNkulunkulu siyizwi likaJesu.” ( 1 Kor9,10b, NGÜ).

Imibhalo icacile: "UJesu uyisihloko esiyinhloko seziprofetho". Iziprofetho zeBhayibheli zisitshela ukuthi ungubani uJesu, wenzani, nokuthi yini enye azoyenza. Ukugxila kwethu kuJesu nasempilweni asinika yona ngokuhlangana noNkulunkulu. Akususelwe kubumbano lwezepolitiki, izimpi zezohwebo, noma ngabe othile ubikezele okuthile ngesikhathi. Kuyinduduzo enkulu ukwazi ukuthi uJesu uyisisekelo kanye nokupheleliswa kokholo lwethu. INkosi yethu iyafana izolo, namuhla, naphakade.
