Izibonakaliso zeNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke
INkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe – lesi kwakuyisihloko uMariya abonakala ngaphansi kwaso ku-Ida Peerdeman e-Amsterdam. Lezi zibonakaliso, ezathatha kusukela ngo-1945 kuya ku-1959, zazihlanganisa imiyalezo engu-56 equkethe umyalezo ocebile kakhulu nojulile oqondiswe kubo bonke abantu.
Imiyalezo edluliselwa ngo-Ida Peerdeman akulula ukuyichaza. Mhlawumbe ngenxa yalesi sizathu, iSonto alikakhiphi isinqumo esisemthethweni mayelana nokuba yiqiniso kwayo. Lo myalezo obonakala ulula, obhekwa ngabanye njengovamile, empeleni uyinkimbinkimbi esekelwe ezithombeni nasezimpawu - ngaphandle kolwazi lwemiBhalo Engcwele yonke - ezingenakuqondakala kahle.
Noma kunjalo, njengoba sizobona kule ncwadi, lo myalezo awugcini nje ngokuba muhle kodwa futhi ugcwele ukujula okungokomoya nokubaluleka kwezenkolo. Le ncwadi igxile ekuhlaziyweni kwemiyalezo okusekelwe kokuqukethwe kanye nezenkolo, izama ukwembula incazelo yayo ngokukhanya kweSambulo Saphezulu.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi indlela imiyalezo edluliselwe ngayo – ngokuvamile ngesimo esiyimfihlakalo nesingokomfanekiso – inenhloso ejulile. Ukungacaci kwayo akusithezi umyalezo, kodwa kuvusa ukucabanga, kushukumise ingqondo nenhliziyo ukuba ifune iqiniso. Lolu hlobo lomyalezo luvumela umyalezo kaNkulunkulu ukuba ugxile kakhulu kubantu, okuholela ekuguqukeni ekuziphatheni kwabo. Izwi elingenamqondo liyanyamalala kalula, kanti elicwila ekujuleni kokuqonda komuntu linethuba "lokuhluma" futhi lithele izithelo ngesimo sokuguquka kwangaphakathi.
UKristu wasebenzisa indlela efanayo yokufundisa - wakhuluma nabafundi bakhe ngemifanekiso eqhubeka nokuphefumulela futhi ihlala iyinselele kwabaningi ukuyichaza. UMoya kaNkulunkulu kumele ufunwe ngokholo nangokuvuleleka ukuze uhlale enhliziyweni yomuntu.
Isici esiyisisekelo sokuhlola ubuqiniso bazo zonke izambulo ezivela kuNkulunkulu ukuxhumana kwazo nemiBhalo Engcwele. Njengoba kuzoboniswa kamuva kulolu cwaningo, lesi sici - maqondana nemibono yase-Amsterdam - saqashelwa ngokugcwele. Imiyalezo yeNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe igcwele izinkomba eziningi eBhayibhelini, ezihambisana nomyalezo wayo ngendlela emangalisayo. Zivumela ukuqonda okujulile koMoya WemiBhalo Engcwele, osalokhu uyimfihlakalo kwabaningi.
Sizoqala ukucabanga kwethu ngombono weThempeli likaNkulunkulu iNkosazana Yethu Yazo Zonke Izizwe eyambulela u-Ida Peerdeman ngesikhathi sokubonakala kwakhe. Sizogxila endaweni yalo, ukubukeka kwalo kwangaphandle, kanye nophawu lwama-altare angaphakathi. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ithempeli elicelwe yiNkosikazi yethu alikakhiwa. Kodwa-ke, kukhona umbono, ngokusekelwe ezincazelweni ezinikezwe ngumbono.
Kokubili isakhiwo sethempeli kanye nendawo ekhonjiswe nguMariya kuyisihluthulelo sokuqonda umyalezo wemiyalezo. Lesi sici semibono—ebalulekile ekuchazeni kwayo okugcwele—silokhu sishiywe ngaphandle kakhulu ezifundweni ezitholakalayo.
Ithempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke
Ngesikhathi sokubonakala kwakhe kwama-52, okwenzeka ngoMeyi 31, 1956, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke yabonisa u-Ida Peerdeman indawo eqondile lapho ithempeli lalizokwakhiwa khona, kanye nokubonakala kwalo. Embonweni wakhe, u-Ida wabona idlelo elinezihlahla kanye nendlu yetiye ejwayelekile etholakala ohlangothini oluseningizimu loMgwaqo iWandelweg. Kulapho, ngokusho kwesiboniso, ithempeli leNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke lalizokwakhiwa khona.
"Manje ulinda isikhathi eside. Bese ebheka nxazonke, uthi, "Manje, iNkosazana, phambi kwalabo ababuthene, ikuvumela ukuthi ubone ukuthi isonto leNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke kufanele lakhiwe kuphi nokuthi kanjani." Futhi, iNkosazana ayisho lutho isikhathi eside. Bese kuba sengathi simi ngokuzumayo edlelweni. INkosazana manje ingivumela ukuthi ngibone ngokucacile ukuthi isonto elisha lizokwakhiwa kuphi. Ikhomba ngakwesobunxele bese ithi, "Bheka ngokucophelela! Hhayi lapho, kodwa lapha." Manje ikhomba ngakwesokudla. "Ngizokukhombisa lokhu manje. Kamuva, tshela abanye!" Manje ngiyibona kahle indawo: idlelweni elinezihlahla kanye netiye engxenyeni eseningizimu yeWandelweg . INkosazana ithi futhi, "Bheka ngokucophelela!" Ilinda isikhashana bese iqhubeka ithi: "Bazoba nobunzima. Lena indawo enkulu; kamuva, izozungezwa yingxenye yedolobha." Bese ngibona indawo enkulu ngempela, ezungezwe izindlu nezakhiwo ezintsha. Ingxenye yomgodi okhona manje ayisekho."
Ngesikhathi sombono wamashumi amahlanu nanhlanu, u-Ida Peerdeman wabona ukukhanya okungaqondakali okwakumelwe akulandele. Lokhu kukhanya kwamholela endaweni ngqo lapho ithempeli lalizokwakhiwa khona. Le ndawo yaqokwa njengendawo "yokubuyela kuNkulunkulu," okubonisa ukuthi ngethempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, isintu sinikezwa ithuba lokubuyela kuMdali ngokomoya—ukuvuselela ubuhlobo bomuntu noNkulunkulu nokubuyisana naye.
"Ngemva kwalokho, njengoba uNkosikazi ehamba kancane, ngamuzwa ethi, 'Lalela, landela ukukhanya!' Kungazelelwe, ukukhanya kwaphuma ekamelweni. Ngakufuna ekamelweni elilandelayo, kodwa kwangihola, kwangiholela ngaphandle kwendlu yethu. Ngakulandela kwaze kwaba yilapho ngifika emgwaqweni. Kwahamba phambi kwami ngaya eWandelweg . Kungazelelwe, kwama. Ngangifuna phansi lapho, ngabe sengizwa izwi leNkosikazi. 'Ufunani?' Ngabe sengibona uNkosikazi emi phakathi kwamafu amabili enesiphambano, umhlaba, nezimvu. Yena ngokwakhe wayemi
egqoke okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okukhanyayo. Njengoba ekhuphuka kancane kakhulu phezulu, ngamuzwa ethi, 'Lena yindawo yokubuyela kwami kuYe. Yakha lapha uMphakathi owodwa wezizwe zonke.'"
Uma sibheka imephu yesathelayithi yendawo lapho kwakwakhiwa khona iThempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, sizobona ukuthi iWandelweg iseduze noMfula i-Amstel.
Le ndawo ayiyona ingozi ngokwesimo sayo sendawo. Kokubili indawo yeThempeli leNkosikazi yeZizwe Zonke kanye nomklamo walo wangaphandle nowangaphakathi kubhekisela ezenzakalweni ezichazwe eNcwadini kaJoshuwa eseBhayibhelini.
Uma sibheka isithombe sesathelayithi (isithombe 1), siphawula ukuthi indawo lapho iNkosikazi yeZizwe Zonke yayifisa ukuba kwakhiwe khona ithempeli itholakala eMfuleni i-Amstel. Lo mfula uwuphawu olufanekisela iJordani yaseBhayibhelini, ama-Israyeli awela ngayo endleleni eya eZweni Lesithembiso.
Phakathi nomyalezo wamashumi amahlanu nesibili, iNkosikazi yeZizwe Zonke yavumela u-Ida Peerdeman ukuba abone indawo eqondile yethempeli embonweni. Embonweni, u-Ida kwadingeka aqale abheke ngakwesobunxele, ngemva kwalokho uMariya wamembulela ukuthi ithempeli lalizoba ngakwesokudla koMgwaqo iWandelweg. Kulolu hlangothi kwakukhona idlelo elinezihlahla kanye netiye elincane - indawo eyaziwa kakhulu ngumboni.
Le ndawo yayibizwa ngokuthi i-Amstelpark futhi yayiyingxenye yendawo enkulu eluhlaza. Ngo-1968, ngemva kokuba imiyalezo isithunyelwe, indawo yahlukaniswa yaba izingxenye ezimbili, enye yazo yaqanjwa ngokuthi uMartin Luther King Park ukuhlonipha umfundisi weBlack Baptist owabulawa ngalowo nyaka ngabaphikisi bezombusazwe. UMartin Luther King Jr. walwela ukulingana ngokobuhlanga, elwela amalungelo abantu kanye nokuqedwa kobandlululo olubhekiswe kubantu baseMelika abamnyama, okwathi ngenxa yalokho wathola umklomelo weNobel Peace Prize ngo-1964.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi emilayezweni yakhe eminingana, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke yanxusa ngokusobala ukuhlonishwa kwamalungelo abantu abamnyama. Kulesi simo, ukubulawa kukaMartin Luther King kungafundwa njengesiprofetho kanye nokuqinisekiswa kwamazwi kaMary mayelana nezingxabano ezivela ekubandlululweni ngokobuhlanga, okufanele isintu siwalahle. UMary wakhumbuza wonke umuntu ukuthi bonke abantu bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi banombala wesikhumba—“abamnyama nabamhlophe.”
Ngakwesobunxele seWandelweg, ebheke entshonalanga, kukhona i-Zorgvlied Cemetery. Ukuhlelwa kwendawo kwale ndawo kungokomfanekiso okhethekile – ngakolunye uhlangothi kunepaki enedlelo, kanti kolunye kukhona ithuna. Lokhu akulona iphutha. Lesi sithombe sibhekisela eziNtabeni zaseBhayibhelini iGerizimu ne-Ebali, ezazitholakala ngaphesheya koMfula iJordani. INtaba iGerizimu kwakuyintaba yezibusiso, efanekisela uMuthi Wokuphila, kanti iNtaba i-Ebali yayiyintaba yeziqalekiso, ehambisana nomuthi wokufa.
Kulo mongo, indawo yokungcwaba iZorgvlied ingafundwa njengesithombe soMuthi Wokufa, kanti indawo lapho iThempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke lalizokwakhiwa khona ifanekisela uMuthi Wokuphila, ofanekiswe yiNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke uqobo.
Manje ake sikhumbule izinkomba zeNtaba iGerizimu ne-Ebali emiBhalweni Engcwele. Lapho uJoshuwa nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli bewela uMfula iJordani, babenesibopho sokuvuselela isivumelwano sabo noNkulunkulu phansi kwalezi zintaba ezimbili - iNtaba iGerizimu ne-Ebali.
Ukufundwa kweNcwadi yoMthetho KaMose, equkethe umbhalo wesivumelwano, kwenzeka emzini waseShekemi, oseduze naphakathi kwalezi zintaba. Kule ndawo, wonke umphakathi wakwa-Israyeli wabuthana, futhi iSivumelwano, umphakathi wakwa-Israyeli owawuthembise ukusigcina ngokwethembeka, safundwa ngesizotha emphongolweni wobufakazi.
Amalungiselelo ayo ayecacile: uma ama-Israyeli ephula isivumelwano, iziqalekiso zikaNkulunkulu zazizokwehla phezu kwawo zivela eNtabeni i-Ebali; nokho, uma ehlala ethembekile, izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu zazizokwehla phezu kwawo zivela eNtabeni iGerizimu.
Uma sibheka futhi isithombe 1, siphawula ukuthi idolobha laseShekemi encazelweni yeBhayibheli lihambisana nendawo lapho u-Ida Peerdeman ayehlala khona. Ngokombono wakhe—ebheka efulethini lika-Ida—ngakwesobunxele kwakwelula indawo ehambisana neNtaba iGerizimu, kanti ngakwesokudla—indawo ebhekisela ngokomfanekiso eNtabeni i-Ebali.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, eNtabeni i-Ebali kwakumi i-altare leNkosi, lapho ama-Israyeli ayenikela khona iminikelo yokuthula neminikelo yokudumisa uNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, umuntu angathi i-altare kwakuyindawo lapho izisulu zafela khona, futhi ngaleyo ndlela, ngandlela thile, ithuna labo. Ngalokhu kukhanya, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi indawo yokungcwaba yaseZorgvlied isendaweni ehambisana neNtaba i-Ebali.
Njengoba sizobona ngezansi, okuqukethwe yimiyalezo akugcini nje ngokuhambisana nemiBhalo Engcwele, kodwa indawo yemibono ngokwayo iyincazelo ephilayo yomyalezo weBhayibheli.
Manje ake sibheke incazelo yokubonakala kweThempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke (isithombe 2), ngoba libhekisela kakhulu ngokomfanekiso eziNtabeni iGerizimu ne-Ebali. Ama-dome amabili angaphandle ethempeli, apendwe ngombala oluhlaza, abonisa lezi zintaba—iGerizimu ne-Ebali—ezimbozwe utshani. Lesi isithombe esingokomfanekiso, esibonisa idlelo lapho izimvu zikaNkulunkulu, ezifanekisela abantu, zidla khona. EmiBhalweni Engcwele, iNtaba iGerizimu ichazwa njengenothile futhi igcwele izimila, kanti iNtaba i-Ebali ihlala ingenalutho futhi yomile. Lokhu kungafani kwaba uphawu kuma-Israyeli—isikhumbuzo sokuthi ukungabi nalutho kwale ntaba kubangelwa ukuntuleka kokwethembeka nokuhlonipha okufanele uNkulunkulu.
Phakathi kwalezi zintaba ezimbili kukhuphuka i-dome ephakathi, efanekisela ngokomfanekiso umuzi waseShekemi—indawo lapho ama-Israyeli avuselela khona iSivumelwano sawo noNkulunkulu. Kwakulapho, phakathi kweNtaba iGerizimu ne-Ebali, eMphongolweni weSivumelwano, lapho umphakathi wama-Israyeli waqinisekisa khona ukwethembeka nokuzinikela kwawo kuNkulunkulu.
Ngokufanayo, ngaphansi kwedome ephakathi yeThempeli leNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe kumi iTabernakele, okufanele liqondwe njengoMphongolo omusha weSivumelwano sezikhathi zethu—indawo lapho uNkulunkulu ehlala ekhona khona ngokucacile phakathi kwabantu bakhe.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, isango eliyindilinga phambi kwedome libhekisela endaweni eyaziwa ngokuthi iGilgali. Yilapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bazihlanza khona futhi balungiselela uhambo lwabo lokulwa nobubi. Ngokomoya wobuKristu, iGilgali iba uphawu lokuhlanzwa kwenhliziyo nokulungiselela impi engokomoya ngokumelene nobubi. Lokhu kuhlanzwa kufezwa esakramenteni sokuphenduka, kuyilapho iSidlo seNkosi siqinisa umphefumulo ukuze ubhekane novivinyo nezinselele zansuku zonke.
Ngakho-ke, idome ephakathi negceke eliyindilinga limelela ngokomfanekiso iSonto likaKristu, elikhona phakathi komuthi wokuphila nomuthi wokufa. Kufanelekile ukugcizelela ukuthi umuthi wokufa yindawo lapho umuntu efunda khona ukuhlukanisa okuhle nokubi. Kule ndawo, umuntu angabuyela kuNkulunkulu kuphela ngemva kokufa ngokomzimba, lapho eseziqonde ngokugcwele izimfundiso zikaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, akukhona ukushayisana ukuthi lena yindawo yamathuna namatshe ethuna – ama-altare angokomfanekiso awo wonke umuntu, lapho wonke umuntu kufanele anikele khona umhlatshelo othokozisayo kuNkulunkulu.
Njengoba singabona, isakhiwo sethempeli sinokubaluleka okujulile kwezenkolo kanye nokwesifanekiso. Ngakho-ke ake sibheke ngokujulile izakhi ngazinye zokwakheka kwalo, siqhathanise incazelo kanye nomsebenzi wazo nomyalezo wemiBhalo Engcwele.
"Kungazelelwe, ngibona isonto elikhulu limi endaweni uNkosikazi ayibonisile. Liyisonto elihle kakhulu esigcawini esikhulu. Isonto elikhethekile kakhulu. Asilazi, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, ungabona okuthile kuwo wonke amasonto akhona. Ingxenye engemuva - ingxenye esempumalanga, ingxenye engaphambili - ngesitayela saseNtshonalanga. Isonto lakhiwe ngamatshe emvelo aphuzi-beige. Ama-dome aluhlaza akhanyayo ayamangaza kakhulu, elinye likhulu linamabili amancane ohlangothini ngalunye. UNkosazana uwakhomba athi, "Ubona ama-dome amathathu esontweni, elinye likhulu namabili amancane ohlangothini ngalunye." Umbala oluhlaza walama-dome uvumelana kahle nezindonga zesonto eziphuzi-beige. Lezi zindonga ziqukethe amafasitela amakhulu. Engxenyeni eseduze nama-dome, amafasitela atholakala ngqo ngaphansi kwama-dome. Isiphambano simi e-dome enkulu."
I-dome ne-altare ezitholakala ohlangothini lwesobunxele lwesonto
"Manje iNkosazana ikhomba ukufundwa kweVangeli bese ithi, 'I-altare leNkosazana livezwa njengoba libonakala.' Ngibona isithombe seNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke emi emhlabeni; ngemuva kwayo kukhona iSiphambano nezimvu. Zonke lezi zithombe ezintathu zifana nokuqoshwa kokhuni olunsundu olumnyama, kufaka phakathi isithombe seNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke." (Umyalezo 52)
Sibona ukuthi i-altare elingaphansi kwedome elingakwesobunxele—elibhekisela eNtabeni Yezibusiso—lingeleNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke.
Kwakukule ntaba, ngokusho kokulandisa kweBhayibheli, lapho izibusiso zazizokwehlela khona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uma nje behlala bethembekile eSivumelwaneni sikaNkulunkulu, njengoba kulotshwe eNcwadini yoMthetho kaMose. Ukugcina lesi Sivumelwano kwakuwukuqinisekisa usizo lwaphezulu luka-Israyeli kanye nempumelelo kuzo zonke izenzo zabo nemizamo yabo.
Umbhalo weSivumelwano wafundwa ngobuqotho edolobheni laseShekemi, maqondana neNtaba iGerizimu ne-Ebali, futhi bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli bathembisa obala ukuwugcina.
Kodwa-ke, ukuze umusa kaNkulunkulu ugeleze ngempela kubantu, kwakudingeka ubumsulwa bomzimba, kodwa umuntu uzalwa engcolile—isidalwa esibuthakathaka esithambekele esonweni. Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu, esazi isimo somuntu, wanika umuntu ithuba lokusebenza kuye. Uyasivusa ngemva kokuwa ngakunye futhi usinika ithuba lokusebenza ebuthakathakeni bethu.
Ama-Israyeli ayengazihlanza ngemikhuba, ikakhulukazi ngokunikela ngomhlatshelo wesilwane esingenasici somzimba. Lo mhlatshelo wawunencazelo ejulile engokomfanekiso. Ngokuvumela imihlatshelo yezilwane, uNkulunkulu wayefuna ukusikisela okunye: ukuthi umuntu ngokwakhe kufanele abe umhlatshelo ongenasici—ngaphandle kwesono esisihlukanisa noNkulunkulu futhi esivimbela ekutholeni izibusiso zaKhe ngokugcwele.
Ngakho-ke, incazelo engokomoya yalo mkhuba yembula ukuthi akuphathelene nezilwane, kodwa mayelana nokuguqulwa kwenhliziyo yomuntu, okusebenza ekuhlanzweni kwakhe—ongathola izibusiso ezivela eNtabeni iGerizimu, efanekiselwa ngokomfanekiso njengedome eliluhlaza kwesobunxele.
Abamele izizwe eziyisithupha zakwa-Israyeli babenesibopho sokudlulisela isibusiso kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uma nje behlala bethembekile eSivumelwaneni noNkulunkulu. Indima yabo yayiwumlamuleli—babemi phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, becela isibusiso sikaNkulunkulu kanye nomusa odingekayo emphakathini.
Ngokomfanekiso, kwakumelwe zibe seNtabeni iGerizimu, lapho babebona khona wonke umphakathi wakwa-Israyeli, njengoba nje uNkulunkulu ebheka phansi phezulu emhlabeni, egcina “iso” kukho konke okwenzekayo phakathi kwabantu baKhe.
Ukuba khona kwalezi zizwe eNtabeni iGerizimu kwakuyisibonakaliso sokuthi uNkulunkulu wayegcina iSivumelwano saKhe, futhi ithuluzi laKhe ekunikezeni izibusiso kwakuyilezi zizwe eziyisithupha ezimisiwe zakwa-Israyeli, ezazinikeza izibusiso egameni laKhe esizweni sonke.
Duteronomi 27:12. Lezi yizizwe ezizoma eNtabeni iGerizimu ukubusisa abantu: uSimeyoni, uLevi, uJuda, u-Isakare, uJosefa, noBenjamini.
Indima efanayo ezikhathini zanamuhla - emasikweni amaJuda - igcwaliswa yilokho okubizwa ngokuthi i-tzaddik (ngesiHebheru: צַדִּיק), okusho ukuthi “olungileyo.” Kufanele abe ngumuntu ongcwele kakhulu noqotho, okhulumela uNkulunkulu egameni lomphakathi, ecela umusa, isivikelo, nezibusiso.
AmaTzadikim, ikakhulukazi ebuJudeni bamaHasidic, abhekwa njengabaholi abangokomoya nabalamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu. Ukuphila kwabo kufanele kube sobala, ngokuvumelana noMthetho, futhi kugcwele ukuzinikela – yilapho kuphela lapho umthandazo wabo ungasebenza khona ukuze kuzuze umphakathi.
Esikweni lobuKristu, le ndima idlalwa nguMama kaNkulunkulu – yena, njengoMuntu Omsulwa, oncengela abantu umusa nezibusiso ezivela kuNkulunkulu neNdodana. Ukulamula kwakhe kuvela ebungcweleni obungavamile, ukulalela intando kaNkulunkulu, kanye nokunakekelwa ngumama kwabo bonke abantu bakaNkulunkulu.
Kodwa-ke, kumelwe kukhunjulwe ukuthi ukuze umuntu athole umusa ngempela, kumelwe ahlale eSivumelwaneni noNkulunkulu. Lapho lesi Sivumelwano siphulwa yisono, ukuguquka kubalulekile. Ngokuzihlanza eSakramenteni Elingcwele, umuntu ubonisa isifiso sakhe sokuba umuntu ongcono ngokuphenduka ezonweni zakhe.
Isimiso sokwamukela izibusiso sibonakala ngokucacile ngenye yezambulo ezitholwe ngu-Ida Peerdeman. Kulo mbono, wabona umhlaba ucwila ebumnyameni obukhulu. Kusukela ebumnyameni, izithunzi zabantu zavela kancane kancane – abantu ngabanye, amehlo abo ebheke phezulu kuNkulunkulu.
Laba kwakungabantu abalwa ngokomoya nesono sabo, belwela ukuguqulwa kwangaphakathi, futhi befisa ukuba ngcono. Baqaphela ubuthakathaka babo futhi baphenduka ngenxa yabo ngokudabuka okusuka enhliziyweni. Yibo ababezothola isibusiso seNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe, ngoba ngokuzikhandla okuqhubekayo, okuvela esifisweni esiqotho sokuguquka, base befunde ukuhlukanisa okuhle nokubi. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi base beyiqondile le sifundo, base bengaqala isigaba esisha - ukukhonza abanye, ukugcwalisa intando yaLowo owayebanike isikhathi nethuba lokuguquka.
"Ngabe sengibona, ngaphansi kwalesi senzakalo esikhazimulayo, isiqephu sesibhakabhaka esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka esithambile, futhi ngaphansi kwaso, ingxenye engenhla yomhlaba. Kwakumnyama ngokuphelele. Lokhu kwavusa kimi umuzwa odabukisayo nowenyanyekayo. Ngabe sengibona iNkosikazi inyakazisa umunwe wayo, ngapha nangapha, futhi inikina ikhanda layo ngokuhlambalaza nangokuxwayisa - ibheke kulowo mhlaba omnyama. Ngamuzwa ethi, 'Phendukani!'
Ngabe sengibona into ekhethekile kakhulu. Kulowo mhlaba omnyama nomnyama, amakhanda abantu aqala ukuvela. Amakhanda akhuphuka kancane kancane, elandelwa yimizimba yawo, futhi ekugcineni ngababona laba bantu, bonke bephelele, bemi kule ngxenye yomhlaba eyindilinga. Njengoba ngibabheka, ngacabanga, "Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi kunezinhlanga nabantu abaningi kangaka?" Ngesikhathi ngibabuka ngibancoma, ngabona uNkosikazi enweba izandla zakhe phezu kwabo njengesibonakaliso sesibusiso. Khona-ke ukubukeka kwakhe kwakungasadabuki kangako. Ngamuzwa ethi, "Mbuyisele!" (Umyalezo 56).
Idome ngakwesokudla
"Bese iNkosazana ikhomba ku-..., bese ikhomba i-altare ohlangothini lapho kufundwa khona izincwadi. Izandla zayo ziboshwe, ithi ngenhlonipho enkulu: 'I-altare likaBaba, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele.'"
Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, uphahla olufanele lwethempeli lubhekisela ngokomfanekiso eNtabeni i-Ebali. Kwakukule ntaba, ngokweNcwadi yoMthetho kaMose, lapho iziqalekiso zazizokwehlela khona phezu kwabantu uma ama-Israyeli ephula iSivumelwano noNkulunkulu.
Bemelela izizwe eziyisithupha zakwa-Israyeli, babemi eNtabeni i-Ebali, benomthwalo wokuqinisekisa ukwethembeka kwabo kulesi Sivumelwano. Bebheka phezulu, babenombono ongokomfanekiso ngezimpilo zabantu futhi babebaqondisa ngokomoya. Ukuba khona kwabo kwaba yisikhumbuzo sokuthi noma yikuphi ukuphambuka eMthethweni kunemiphumela engenakugwenywa.
Duteronomi 27:13. URubeni, uGadi, u-Asheri, uZebhuloni, uDani, noNafetali bazoma eNtabeni i-Ebali ukuze bamemezele iziqalekiso.
Esiqongweni seNtaba i-Ebali kwakumi i-altare elimiselwe uNkulunkulu, lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babenikela khona iminikelo yokuthula neminikelo yokudumisa. Uphahla olufanele lweThempeli leNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe, olubhekisela ngokomfanekiso eNtabeni i-Ebali, luphinde lubhekisele e-altare – kulokhu njenge-altare likaNkulunkulu uBaba, iNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele.
INtaba i-Ebali nayo iwuphawu lomuthi wokufa, yingakho imihlatshelo esiyinikela kuNkulunkulu simi phansi kwawo ibaluleke kakhulu. Uma imihlatshelo yethu – izenzo zethu – iwukubonakaliswa kokungalaleli intando yaKhe, sizilethela isiqalekiso.
Wonke umuntu kumele, ngesikhathi esithile empilweni yakhe, akhuphukele kule ntaba ukuyokhonza uNkulunkulu. Kodwa-ke, into ebalulekile isimo sengqondo esingokomoya esisondela ngaso kuYe. Uma sikhuphuka kule ntaba singcolile, njengoba iNcwadi kaMose isikhumbuza, iziqalekiso zizowela phezu kwethu. Ngakho-ke, akunakwenzeka ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ngeqiniso futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo siqhubeke nesono futhi singenzi lutho ngaso.
Ngale ndlela, isakhiwo seThempeli leNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe siba ukubonakaliswa kwemiBhalo Engcwele kanye neSivumelwano esenziwe noNkulunkulu.
Isithombe esiphilayo salesi Sivumelwano yithempeli loMzimba kaKristu kanye neNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe. Ngokuzilingisa, siba njengoNkulunkulu, ongumfanekiso wabo.
E-altare likaNkulunkulu namuhla, sinikela ngemihlatshelo yethu – izenzo zethu zansuku zonke zokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu. Ukuguqa phambi kweSakramente Elingcwele, ukudumisa, umthandazo, nesimo sengqondo sokuhlonipha kuyizindlela eziqondile zokukhulekela – uma ziphuma enhliziyweni – eziba umhlatshelo wethu wansuku zonke.
UKristu, ngempilo yakhe, wasibonisa ukuthi yimuphi umhlatshelo othokozisa uNkulunkulu nokuthi kufanele adunyiswe kanjani. Isimo sakhe sengqondo sisebenza njengesibonelo nesifundo kithi. Lokhu akukhona nje ngezenzo zangaphandle zokuzinikela noma ngisho nemizamo yokuletha ukuthula phakathi kwabantu, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, mayelana nokulingisa uKristu ekulweni nokulunga, ubulungiswa, nothando.
Umhlatshelo onjalo kuphela omsulwa futhi ongenasici futhi ongajabulisa uNkulunkulu ngempela.
Inkolelo yokuthi uMhlatshelo kaKristu wasindisa wonke umuntu ngokuzenzakalelayo, kungakhathaliseki isimo sakhe sengqondo, iyimfundiso yamanga. Insindiso, nakuba inikezwa wonke umuntu, idinga impendulo yomuntu. Yingakho uNkulunkulu asithumelele uKristu—ukuze, ngokumlingisa, sibe njengaye.
Ngakho-ke, uma sifuna ubulungiswa, ukulunga, nothando emhlabeni, uma sinikeza uNkulunkulu udumo olufanele futhi silethe ukuthula phakathi kwabantu, khona-ke sizothela izithelo ezithokozisayo kuNkulunkulu. Ngamunye wethu kumelwe enze umhlatshelo wakhe.
Kukhona imiphefumulo emhlabeni eye yaqonda ngempela izimfundiso zikaNkulunkulu—ayizange nje izamukele ngengqondo kodwa yazisebenzisa. Imiphefumulo enjalo, elandela ezinyathelweni zikaJesu, izinikela ekukhonzeni abanye. Ukuphila kwayo—okunikelwe kuNkulunkulu nakwabanye—kuba ukusekela umhlaba. Kungenxa yemiphefumulo ezidelayo kangaka ukuthi umhlaba usekhona, ngoba ithwele umthwalo wemiphumela yezono zabanye—iziqalekiso zethu.
Kulo mongo, ukufa kukaJesu esiphambanweni kugcwalisa uphawu lweNtaba i-Ebali—intaba yeziqalekiso. Endabeni yakhe, kwakuyiGolgotha, okwakumi phezu kwayo i-altare likaNkulunkulu. Ngokomthetho weTestamente Elidala, isijeziso sokwephula iSivumelwano nokwenyuka “intaba kaNkulunkulu” ngaphandle kokuhlanzwa kwakuwukukhandwa ngamatshe noma ukubethelwa. UJesu, ebhaxabulwe futhi ehlazekile, wabonakala sengathi ukhandwe ngamatshe—futhi ekugcineni, wahlatshwa ngomkhonto wesosha laseRoma. Wazithathela iziqalekiso zethu, ngokuvumelana nesimiso: “Kungcono ukuba umuntu oyedwa afele abantu kunokuba isizwe sonke sibhubhe” (bheka uJohane 11:50).
Isimangalo sokuthi uJesu “wazithathela izono zethu” ngokuzenzakalelayo futhi ngaphandle kokungenelela komuntu siholela ekungaqondini kahle incazelo yoMhlatshelo Wakhe. Umhlatshelo kaKristu awukhululi muntu emthwalweni womuntu siqu—ngokuphambene nalokho, ubiza wonke umuntu ukuba ahlanganyele futhi alingise.
Ukube uJesu—uMhlatshelo oyisibonelo—wayengekho eGolgotha ngaleso sikhathi, ubulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu ngabe buwile ngokushesha phezu kwabantu ababekhona. Kwakuwukuba khona Kwakhe okwamisa isenzo sobulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu. Lapho uKristu ekhona, ubulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu buyamiswa, futhi umuntu unikezwa isikhathi nethuba lokuguqulwa—ngeSonto likaKristu, okufanele libe yindawo yokuvuka ekwindla.
Lesi sici esimangalisayo siphinde sembulwe eMfihlweni Wesithathu waseFatima. Kulo mbono, uPapa ukhuphukela entabeni—e-altare likaNkulunkulu—ephenduka ingenalutho. Akukho mhlatshelo lapho. Abekho abantu abazinikela ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu, abanikela izimpilo zabo kwabanye, ngomoya kaKristu. Ngakho-ke, bonke abakhona entabeni bayabhubha—ngokufanekisela ngamatshe ngokudubula ngezibhamu. Entabeni, akekho othokozisa uNkulunkulu ngokuziphatha kwakhe, akekho ongazithwalela umthwalo wezono neziqalekiso zesintu. Lonke iSonto liyekile umsebenzi walo wokuholela abantu kuNkulunkulu.
Imfihlo Yesithathu yeFatima akuyona nje umbono wezenzakalo zesikhathi esizayo, kodwa isixwayiso—esiqondiswe kuPapa, abefundisi, kanye neSonto lonke. Kuyisixwayiso sokuthi iSonto akufanele livumelane nalelizwe, eligcwele ububi, kodwa kufanele libuyele ekwakheni abantu ngomfanekiso kaKristu, ngoba uma lilandela izindlela zaleli zwe, lizobhekana nesiphetho esifanayo nesabanye.
ISonto eliyeka ukuba yindawo yokuzidela, ubunzima, kanye nomzabalazo ongokomoya liba nje yisikhungo esingenalutho esiphikelela ngesizathu esithile esingaziwa—i-altare elingenamhlatshelo, lapho umhlaba uphenduka khona ngokunganaki.
Idome eliphakathi
Ngemva kokuwela uMfula iJordani, uJoshuwa, kanye nabo bonke abantu, bavuselela iSivumelwano noNkulunkulu, esibhalwe encwadini yoMthetho kaMose, phansi kweNtaba iGerizimu neNtaba i-Ebali. Le ncwadi ifundwa ngesizotha phambi kwenhlangano yonke - emphongolweni wesivumelwano - edolobheni laseShekemi, eliphakathi kwezintaba ezimbili okukhulunywe ngazo ngenhla.
Uphahla oluphakathi lweThempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke lubhekisela ngokomfanekiso emzini waseShekemi, indawo lapho kwavuselelwa khona iSivumelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu baKhe. Uphahla oluphakathi, kanye negceke eliyindilinga leSonto leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, lubonisa wonke amaBandla kaKristu akhona phakathi kwethu. Ngakho-ke iSonto liba umuzi ongokomfanekiso waseShekemi - indawo lapho kwenzeka khona ukuvuselelwa kweSivumelwano phakathi komuntu noNkulunkulu.
Izimpawu ezintathu ezingcwele zazigcinwe eMphongolweni weSivumelwano: imana - ukudla okwanikezwa nguNkulunkulu, okwakondla abantu bakwa-Israyeli phakathi neminyaka engamashumi amane bezulazula ehlane; izibhebhe zeMiyalo Eyishumi - uphawu loMthetho nokwethembeka esivumelwaneni; kanye nenduku ka-Aroni - uphawu lobuholi obungokomoya kanye nokukhethwa kukaNkulunkulu.
EThempelini leNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe, i-altare eliphakathi liqukethe iTabernakele – uMphongolo weSivumelwano seTestamente Elisha. Kungaphakathi kwalo, ngesimo seSidlo seNkosi, lapho uKristu ehlala khona ngempela. Yena ngokwakhe ungokuqukethwe koMphongolo weSivumelwano: UnguMthetho, Ukudla, noMalusi oholela abantu bakhe kuBaba.
"Esiqongweni kumi ama-altare amathathu, ahlelwe ngendlela eyindilinga. INkosikazi ikhomba i eliphakathi bese ithi: 'Phakathi kukhona iSiphambano, iSimangaliso Sansuku Zonke, i-altare loMhlatshelo weSiphambano .'
Bese uNkosikazi ekhomba itabernakele , elinesiphambano esincane phezu kwalo."
Umphongolo wesivumelwano wawunesivalo, esibizwa ngokuthi isihlalo somusa (ngesiHebheru: kapporet), esasidlala indima ebalulekile emcimbini wokubuyisana. Kanye ngonyaka, ngoSuku Lokubuyisana (Yom Kippur), umpristi omkhulu wayengena eNgcwelengcwele afafaze isivalo ngegazi lomhlatshelo. Lesi kwakuyisikhathi esingcwele kakhulu sokukhulekela sonyaka wonke - isenzo esingokomfanekiso sokubuyisana kuNkulunkulu. Isihlalo
somusa sasingesona nje isembozo soMphongolo, kodwa futhi sasiyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu - indawo yobukhona baKhe, lapho isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu senzeka khona. Yilapho lapho ukubuyisana kwenzeka khona: hhayi njengokususwa kwezono, kodwa njengokumiswa kwemiphumela yobulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu, okwakufanele ngokwemvelo iwele phezu kwabantu ngokungathembeki kwabo eSivumelwaneni. Kwakuyisenzo sesihe sikaNkulunkulu - isikhathi esinikezwe isintu sokuguquka nokubuyela kuNkulunkulu.
Esifanekisweni seTestamente Elisha, iTabernakele liwukuqhubeka okungokomoya koMphongolo wesivumelwano. Kungaphakathi kwalo lapho uKristu ekhona ngempela, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo - njengomuntu ozelwe. UMoya kaNkulunkulu – Yena uqobo lwakhe uhlezi esihlalweni saKhe sobukhosi, okuyisiphambano esibekwe phezu kwesembozo seTabernakele.
Njengoba nje ngesikhathi sikaMose isihlalo somusa sasifafazwa ngegazi lomhlatshelo, kanjalo neGazi likaKristu “lamisa” ubulungisa baphezulu obebuyowela phezu kwesintu. Egazini laKhe, uNkulunkulu wabonisa isihawu emhlabeni, evula isikhathi sokuguquka kwesintu.
Embonweni owatholwa ngu-Ida Peerdeman, isigcawu esibonisa iSidlo Sokugcina saboniswa ngemuva kwe-altare eliphakathi leThempeli leNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe. Lesi sithombe asibonanga ngengozi – sibhekisela ngqo ekumisweni kweSidlo Sokukhumbula uJesu Kristu.
KwakuyiSidlo Sokukhumbula esafanekisela ukunikezwa koMzimba kaKristu njengemana yesintu, ukudla okungokomoya isintu esasizothola ngakho amandla okuhlala kuNkulunkulu.
Ngale ndlela, uKristu wasifanekisela, kuye ngokwakhe, iqiniso elingokomoya elivela eTestamenteni Elidala, esimangalisweni semana evela ezulwini. Njengoba nje imana yayiwukudla okungaphezu kwemvelo kubantu bakwa-Israyeli phakathi nohambo lwabo lweminyaka engamashumi amane ehlane, kanjalo neSidlo Sokukhumbula ukudla okungokomoya kwawo wonke amaKristu – umphakathi ohambahambayo ihlane lalo mhlaba liya ekuphileni okuphakade.
Indawo yeSidlo Sokugcina, ebekwe ngemuva kwe-altare embonweni ka-Ida Peerdeman, ngaleyo ndlela igcizelela iqiniso eliyisisekelo: enkabeni yeThempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke – futhi ngaleyo ndlela enkabeni yempilo yomuntu engokomoya – yiSidlo SeNkosi. Akuyona nje isikhumbuzo soMhlatshelo kaKristu, kodwa nokuba khona kukaNkulunkulu okuphilayo, kwangempela, oqhubeka nokondla abantu bakhe ngesinkwa esivela ezulwini.
"INkosikazi ithi: 'I-altare lomhlatshelo eliphakathi ; ngemuva kwalo, ngemuva – iSidlo Sokugcina esivezwe lapha.' Manje iNkosikazi ingivumela ukuba ngibone ngokucacile izindawo ezingemuva kwama-altare amathathu. Ngemuva kwe-altare eliphakathi, cishe kulo lonke ububanzi bodonga olungemuva oluyindilinga, ngibona indawo yeSidlo Sokugcina. Umfanekiso kaKristu uyamangalisa, umfanekiso ogcwele isithunzi. Phambi kwakhe kumi iKhasi. Ezandleni Zakhe Uphethe iSidlo. Kunjengokungathi uphula iSidlo. Etafuleni kukhona abaPhostoli, behlezi phansi kancane."
Ngesikhathi sokunye kokubonakala kwakhe, u-Ida Peerdeman wabona udwendwe lwabantu beholwa umpristi ephethe uMthendeleko. Udwendwe lwaluya eWandelweg Street - indawo lapho kwakwakhiwa khona iThempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke. Lo mbono ubhekisela ngqo ezenzakalweni ezichazwe eNcwadini kaJoshuwa.
Ngemva kokuwela uMfula iJordani, uJoshuwa - ngokuhambisana nomyalo kaMose - wayebophekile ukuvuselela iSivumelwano noNkulunkulu. Ngosuku lwalesi senzakalo esibalulekile, wonke umphakathi wakwa-Israyeli wahamba ngodwendwe oluhloniphekile oluya eShekemi, ehola uMphongolo weSivumelwano, owawuthwalwa abapristi. Lapho, phansi kweNtaba iGerizimu ne-Ebal, eduze koMphongolo weSivumelwano, umpristi ongumLevi wafunda iNcwadi yoMthetho kaMose. Ngakho-
ke, siyabona ukuthi imibono ka-Ida Peerdeman igxile kakhulu kumfanekiso weTestamente Elidala, elihlala liphila futhi lifanele amaKristu namuhla. Ekhanda lodwendwe embonweni ka-Ida kwakukhona uMthendeleko - uNkulunkulu weqiniso, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, okuqukethwe okungokomoya. UMphongolo we Isivumelwano. Udwendwe lwaya eSontweni leNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe, lapho, phambi kukaNkulunkulu, isivumelwano noNkulunkulu savuselelwa khona.
UNkulunkulu wembula amaqiniso angokomoya ngezenzakalo zasemhlabeni. Njengoba nje ama-Israyeli ake alwa ukuze ahlanze iZwe Lesithembiso kubo bonke ububi, nanamuhla wonke umuntu ubizelwa ukuxosha ububi “ezweni lakhe lesithembiso,” eliyimizimba yakhe.
ITestamente Elisha liwukugcwaliseka kanye nokubonakaliswa kweTestamente Elidala – ngobuntu bukaJesu Kristu, oyiZwi likaNkulunkulu eliPhilayo, uMbhalo oNgcwele ophilayo. Ngakho-ke, lapho sifunda iTestamente Elidala, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi umyalezo walo ubhekisela kakhulu eqinisweni elingokomoya, futhi izenzakalo ezichazwe ziyimifanekiso yamaqiniso embulwe kuKristu.
"Bese kuthi iNkosikazi: 'Ngenxa yale njongo, ngifune obaba baseDominican. Umsunguli uzobeka isithombe lapho. Isithombe kumele sifike e-Amsterdam ngokushesha. Ngikhethe i-Amsterdam njengendawo yeNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe. Lena futhi indawo yeSakramente. Qondani konke lokhu kahle.'" Bese ngibona udwendwe oluneSakramente Elingcwele. Phakathi kwabantu abaningi abadlulayo, ngibona nabapristi. Omunye wabapristi uhamba phambili ephethe iSakramente Elingcwele. Udwendwe lusondela luvela eDolobheni Elidala, luvela eBegijnhof, futhi luya eWandelweg, okwangibonisa iNkosazana.
Khona-ke iNkosazana ithi: "Ukwabiwa kuzokwenziwa yizindela phakathi kwabo bonke abefundisi, phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe. MaDominic, qondani kahle lokho eninakho ezandleni zenu! ""Leli phuzu lokugcina liyagcizelelwa."
Esigijimini seNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, kukhona ukubhekisela okucacile e-Amsterdam njengendawo ekhethekile—iDolobha LeSakramente. Lesi sikhundla sibhekisela esenzakalweni samakhulu eminyaka edlule: Isimangaliso Se-Eucharist esenzeka ngoMashi 25, 1345, eminyakeni engu-600 ngaphambi kokubonakala kokuqala kweNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke.
Endlini yase-Amsterdam, indoda eyayigula kakhulu yayilele. Ngesikhathi sokuphathwa kweSakramente Lokugcotshwa Okukhulu, yamukela i-Eucharist kodwa ngokushesha yahlanza. Owesifazane owayeyinakekela waphonsa ukuhlanza kanye ne-Eucharist emlilweni. Kodwa-ke, ngosuku olulandelayo—ngemva kokuvuselela umlilo—wantanta ngokuyisimangaliso ngaphezu kwamalangabi.
Umnakekeli owayeshaqekile wasonga i-Eucharist ngendwangu wayibeka ebhokisini, alinika umpristi. Nokho, ngosuku olulandelayo, kwavela ukuthi i-Eucharist yayibuyele endaweni yayo yokuqala ngendlela engaqondakali. Lokhu kwenzeka kabili futhi. Ngesikhathi sesithathu, kwenziwa isinqumo sokudlulisela i-Eucharist ngodwendwe oluhloniphekile esontweni—futhi kuphela lapho yahlala khona endaweni yayo entsha.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, i-Amsterdam ibigubha lesi senzakalo njengesiMangaliso seSidlo SeNkosi, esikhunjulwa ngodwendwe lwaminyaka yonke olubizwa ngokuthi "iMirakel." Luqala esontweni elakhiwe endaweni okwakukhona kuyo indlu yokugula yangaphambili futhi lulandela umzila womlando oya esontweni—njengoba nje lwenze ngosuku lokudluliselwa okuyisimangaliso kweNkosi.
Isango eliphambi kwama-domes amathathu
"Umnyango wesonto muhle kakhulu, uphakeme, futhi muhle kakhulu. Izitebhisi ziholela emnyango omkhulu ovulekile. Lomnyango unezinsika ezine ezinkulu ngaphambili, ezihlotshiswe ngemihlobiso, kokubili phezulu nangaphansi. Izinsika azibushelelezi, kodwa zinemifantu kusukela phezulu kuya phansi. Uphahla olungaphezulu komnyango, olusekelwe yilezi zinsika, lune-cornice evelele enohlobo oluthile lwesithombe noma i-bas-relief kuwo. Manje uNkosikazi uthi ngokuzithoba,
'Manje singena eNdlini yeNkosi.' Kungazelelwe, ngizithola ngimi noNkosikazi ngaphakathi esontweni. Liyisonto elikhulu nelifudumele. Wonke amafasitela ayingilazi enemibala, ngemibala ecebile nefudumele; uhlobo olubomvu noluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka oluvela empumalanga luvame kakhulu. Lena imibala engabonakali emasontweni ethu. Njengoba sihamba noNkosikazi esontweni, ngibona ukuthi phansi kwehlela phansi kancane, njengokungathi kuse-amphitheater. Kuyamangaza futhi ukuthi konke esontweni kuhlelwe ngendlela yesiyingi. Konke ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwesonto kuyindilinga. Engxenyeni engaphambili yesonto, ngibona inkundla yobukhulu obukhulu. Engxenyeni yayo engaphambili, kunezitebhisi ezakhiwe ngendlela yesiyingi. Izindawo zokuhlala nazo zihlelwe ngendlela yesiyingi. Ngibona izindonga zesidlo sakusihlwa phambi kwepulatifomu."
Esimweni sethu, isango eliyindilinga leThempeli leNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe libhekisela ngokomfanekiso eGilgali yeTestamente Elidala - indawo ebaluleke kakhulu emlandweni wakwa-Israyeli. IGilgali kwakuyindawo lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babelungiselela khona ukulwa nesitha esasihlala ezweni laseKhanani. Yilapho futhi iPhasika lagujwa khona okokuqala eZweni Lesithembiso – hhayi ngokudla imana, kodwa ngesinkwa esibhakwe ngemikhiqizo yaleli zwe. IGiligali yayiyindawo yokuhlanzwa, futhi yilapho ama-Israyeli asokwa khona.
Ngalo moya, isango eliyindilinga leThempeli leNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe liba uphawu lweGiligali yeTestamente Elisha – indawo yokulungiselela impi yangaphakathi enhliziyweni yomuntu nesitha sayo sangempela, uSathane. Futhi yindawo yePhasika, lapho sidla khona iSinkwa Sokuphila – uKristu, esibhakwe ngemikhiqizo yaleli zwe. Lesango liyindawo yokuhlanzwa esakramenteni sokuphenduka nokubuyisana, kanye nokusoka okungokomoya kwenhliziyo.
Imiyalezo yeNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe
Ukuchazwa okufanele kwemiyalezo yeNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke kungenzeka kuphela ngokukhanya kwemiBhalo Engcwele. Lokhu akufanele kumangaze, njengoba sibhekene nomyalezo ovela kuNkulunkulu. Le miyalezo iyisikhumbuzo samaqiniso asevele embulwe ngabaprofethi bakaNkulunkulu futhi alotshwe emiBhalweni Engcwele—nakuba evezwe ngombono ohlukile, ahambisana nezikhathi zanamuhla. Incazelo yemiyalezo yeNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke
icebile ngezimpawu futhi inencazelo ejulile, okwenza isimemo sokuzindla ngayo. Ulwazi oluphelele lwemiBhalo Engcwele kuphela oluvumela ukufundwa okufanele komyalezo wabo—ngokuqonda izehlakalo ezichazwe eTestamenteni Elidala nokuzibuka ngokukhanya kweqiniso elingokomoya. Isibonelo
esihle sendlela yokufunda iTestamente Elidala yiNcwadi kaJoshuwa, lapho, ngaphansi kobuholi bakhe, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli kwadingeka baxoshe ububi eZweni Lesithembiso. Ngombono ongokomoya, “izwe elithenjisiwe” lingumzimba wethu, lapho wonke umuntu kufanele asuse khona bonke onkulunkulu bezinye izizwe nobubi—ngaphansi kobuholi bukaJesu. Igama elithi Joshuwa (ngesiHebheru: Yehoshua) lingenye yezindlela ezifanayo negama elithi Jesu.
Ngokuzindla ngamazwi eNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, umuntu uvula inhliziyo yakhe emandleni eZwi likaNkulunkulu, elingagxila kakhulu emphefumulweni, liqinise ukholo futhi liholele ekuguqulweni kwangaphakathi.
Ngo-Ida Peerdeman, iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke yanikeza imiyalezo engu-56, okuhlanganisa neziprofetho. Inhloso yabo ukuqinisekisa ubuqiniso bomyalezo wonke. Imiyalezo ngayinye ikhuluma ngezihloko ezahlukahlukene, ngakho-ke izohlukaniswa ngezigaba (ngokubhala okulukiwe), kulandelwe ukuphawula.
