1. IBhayibheli liyirekhodi kuphela lezigaba ezimbili zikaNkulunkulu Inkathi Yomthetho neNkathi Yomusa; alilona irekhodi lomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wonke

Izikhombo Zamavesi EBhayibheli:

“Ngisenezinto eziningi engingazisho kini, kodwa ningekwazi ukuzithwala manje. Noma kunjalo, uma esefikile yena, uMoya weqiniso, uzoniholela kulo lonke iqiniso: ngoba akazukuzikhulumela, kodwa lokho azokuzwa, uzokusho: futhi uzonikhombisa okuzayo” (Johane 16:12-13).

“Onendlebe makezwe lokho okushiwo uMoya emabandleni” (IsAmbulo 2:17).

“Bheka, iNgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda, impande kaDavide, iphumelele ukuvula incwadi, nokuvula izimpawu eziyisikhombisa” (IsAmbulo 5:5).


Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

Lonke iBhayibheli liqopha umsebenzi wezinkathi ezimbili: eyodwa ngeyomsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho, futhi enye ngeyeNkathi Yomusa. ITestamente Elidala liqopha amazwi kaJehova abhekiswe kuma-Israyeli kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe kwa-Israyeli; iTestamente Elisha liqopha umsebenzi kaJesu eJudiya.


kwesithi “Umbono Womsebenzi KaNkulunkulu (2)” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni

Kufanele wazi ukuthi iBhayibheli linezingxenye ezingaki; iTestamente Elidala liqukethe uGenesise, uEksodusi…, futhi kukhona kanye nezincwadi zeziprofetho abazibhala. Ekugcineni, iTestamente Elidala ligcina ngeNcwadi kaMalaki. Kubhalwe umsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho, owaholwa nguJehova; kusuka kuGenesise kuya eNcwadini kaMalaki, kungumbhalo ogcwele wawo wonke umsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho. Okungukuthi, imibhalo yeTestamente Elidala ingakho konke abantu ababeqondiswa nguJehova abadlula kukho ngeNkathi Yomthetho. … iTestamente Elidala ekakhulukazi libhala ngomsebenzi kaJehova wokuqondisa abakwa-Israyeli, ukusebenzisa Kwakhe uMose ukuhola abakwa-Israyeli ngesikhathi bephuma eGibhithe, owabakhulula kozankosi bakaFaro, wabakhiphela endle, emuva kwalokho bangena eKhanani futhi yonke into elandela lokhu kwakuyimpilo yabo eKhanani. Konke ngaphandle kwalokhu kuyimibhalo ngomsebenzi kaJehova ezweni lonke lakwa-Israyeli. Yonke into ebhalwe eTestamenteni Elidala ngumsebenzi kaJehova kwa-Israyeli, ngumsebenzi uJehova awenza ezweni lapho enza khona u-Adamu no-Eva. Kusukela lapho uNkulunkulu waqala khona ngokusemthethweni ukuhola abantu emhlabeni emva kukaNowa, konke lokho okubhalwe eTestamenteni Elidala umsebenzi wakwa-Israyeli. Futhi kungani kungabhaliwe ngomunye umsebenzi ngaphandle kwa-Israyeli. Ngenxa yokuthi izwe lakwa-Israyeli liyimbeleko yesintu. Ekuqaleni, ayengekho amanye amazwe ngaphandle kuka-Israyeli, futhi uJehova akazange asebenze kwezinye izindawo. Ngale ndlela, lokho okubhalwe eBhayibhelini umsebenzi kwa-Israyeli kuphela ngaleso sikhathi. Amazwi akhulunywa ngabaprofethi, u-Isaya, uDaniyeli, uJeremiya, kanye noHezekeli … amazwi abo abikezela omunye umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni, abikezela umsebenzi kaJehova uqobo Lwakhe. Konke lokhu kwavela kuNkulunkulu, kwabe kungumsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele, futhi ngaphandle kwalezi zincwadi zabaprofethi, yonke into ngumbhalo ngalokho abantu abadlule kukho emsebenzini kaJehova ngaleso sikhathi.

… Izinto ezibhalwe eTestamenteni Elidala zingumsebenzi kaJehova kwa-Israyeli, futhi lezo ezibhalwe eTestamenteni Elisha ngumsebenzi kaJesu ngeNkathi Yomusa; abhala ngomsebenzi owenziwe nguNkulunkulu ezinkathini ezimbili ezihlukene. ITestamente Elidala libhala ngomsebenzi owenziwa nguNkulunkulu ngeNkathi Yomthetho, ngakho iTestamente Elidala liyincwadi yomlando, lapho iTestamente Elisha liphethe umsebenzi weNkathi Yomusa. Lapho umsebenzi omusha uqala, lezi zincwadi zibe seziphelelwa isikhathi—ngakho iTestamente Elisha nalo liyincwadi yomlando. Kusobala ukuthi, iTestamente Elisha alihambisi ngomthetho njengeTestamente Elidala, futhi alibhali ngezinto eziningi kangako. Wonke amazwi amaningi akhulunywa nguJehova eTestamenteni Elidala abhalwe eBhayibhelini, kanti amazwi athile kuphela kaJesu abhalwa kumaVangeli Amane. Kunjalo, uJesu Naye wenza umsebenzi omningi kodwa akuzange kubhalwe yonke imininingwane. Ukuthi kuncane okwabhalwa eTestamenteni Elisha yingenxa yobuningi bomsebenzi owenziwa nguJesu; umsebenzi awenza ngesikhathi seminyaka emithathu kanye nengxenye emhlabeni kanye nalowo wabaphostoli wabe umncane kakhulu kunomsebenzi kaJehova. Ngakho, zincane izincwadi eziseTestamenteni Elisha kunaseTestamenteni Elidala.

Liyincwadi enjani iBhayibheli? ITestamente Elidala liwumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngeNkathi Yomthetho. ITestamente Elidala eBhayibhelini libhala wonke umsebenzi kaJehova ngeNkathi Yomthetho kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe wokudala. Lonke libhala umsebenzi owenziwa nguJehova, futhi ekugcineni liphothula zonke izindaba zomsebenzi kaJehova ngeNcwadi kaMalaki. ITestamente Elidala libhala ngezingxenye ezimbili zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu: Omunye ngumsebenzi wokudala, futhi omunye ngukumisa umthetho. Yomibili yenziwa nguJehova. INkathi Yomthetho imele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngaphansi kwegama likaJehova; yiwo wonke umsebenzi owenziwa ngaphansi kwegama likaJehova. Ngakho, iTestamente Elidala libhala ngomsebenzi kaJehova, kanti iTestamente Elisha libhala ngomsebenzi kaJesu, umsebenzi owenziwa ikakhulukazi ngaphansi kwegama likaJesu. Ukubaluleka okukhulu kwegama likaJesu kanye nomsebenzi awenza kubhalwe eTestamenteni Elisha. Ngesikhathi seTestamente Elidala, uJehova wakha ithempeli ne-altare kwa-Israyeli, waqondisa impilo yama-Israyeli emhlabeni, efakazela ukuthi bangabantu Bakhe abakhethiweyo, iqembu lokuqala labantu abakhetha emhlabeni futhi ababe ngabenhliziyo Yakhe, iqembu lokuqala alihola mathupha; okungukuthi, izizwe eziyi-12 zakwa-Israyeli zabe zingabakhethiweyo bokuqala bakaJehova, ngakho uNkulunkulu wayesebenza njalo kubo, kwaze kwafika lapho sewuphele khona umsebenzi kaJehova weNkathi Yomthetho. Umsebenzi wesigaba sesibili kwabe kungumsebenzi weNkathi Yomusa weTestamente Elisha, futhi wenziwa phakathi kwesizwe sakwaJuda, esinye sezizwe eziyi-12 zakwa-Israyeli. Ukuthi isilinganiso somsebenzi sasisincane kakhulu kwakungenxa yokuthi uJesu wabe enguNkulunkulu osenyameni. UJesu wasebenza kuphela kulo lonke izwe laseJudiya, futhi wenza umsebenzi weminyaka emithathu nesigamu kuphela; ngakho okubhalwe eTestamenteni Elisha akukwazi impela ukudlula ubuningi bomsebenzi obhalwe eTestamenteni Elidala. Umsebenzi kaJesu weNkathi Yomusa ubhalwe ikakhulukazi kumaVangeli Amane. Indlela eyahlanjwa ngabantu beNkathi Yomusa kwabe kuyileyo yezinguquko ezikha phezulu kakhulu ezimweni zabo zempilo, iningi lazo zibhalwe ezincwadini ezathunyelelwa amaKristu okuqala.

IBhayibheli futhi libizwa ngokuthi iTestamente Elidala neTestamente Elisha. Niyazi ukuthi “itestamente” kuchaza ukuthini? “Itestamente” eTestamenteni Elidala livela esivumelwaneni sikaJehova kanye nabantu bakwa-Israyeli, ngesikhathi ebulala abantu baseGibhithe futhi wasindisa abakwa-Israyeli kuFaro. Impela, ubufakazi balesi sivumelwano kwabe kuyigazi le wundlu elalibhecwe eminyango, uNkulunkulu amisa ngalo isivumelwano nomuntu, lapho okwathiwa bonke labo ababenegazi lewundlu emakhothameni nasezinsikeni zomnyango kwabe kungama-Israyeli, babengabantu baNkulunkulu abakhethiweyo, futhi bonke babeyosindiswa nguJehova (ngoba uJehova ngaleso sikhathi wayesezobulala wonke amadodana angamazibulo eGibhithe kanye namazibulo ezimvu nezinkomo) Lesi sivumelwano sinamazinga amabili encazelo. Abekho abantu noma imfuyo yaseGibhithe eyabe izosindiswa nguJehova; Yena wayezobulala wonke amadodana abo angamazibulo kanye namazibulo ezimvu nezinkomo. Ngakho, ezincwadini eziningi zeziphrofetho kwabikezelwa ukuthi abaseGibhithe babeyojeziswa kanzima ngenxa yesivumelwano sikaJehova. Lokhu izinga lokuqala lencazelo. UJehova wabulala amadodana angamazibulo aseGibhithe kanye namazibulo ayo yonke imfuyo, futhi wasindisa bonke abakwa-Israyeli, okwakuchaza ukuthi bonke labo basezweni lakwa-Israyeli wayebazisa kakhulu uJehova, futhi babezosindiswa; Yena wayefisa ukwenza umsebenzi wesikhathi eside kubo, futhi wamisa isivumelwano nabo ngokusebenzisa igazi lewundlu. Kusukela lapho kuqhubeka, uJehova wayengeke ababulale abakwa-Israyeli, futhi wathi babeyohlala bengabakhethiweyo bakhe ingunaphakade. Wayeyoqala umsebenzi Wakhe eNkathini Yomthetho iyonke phakathi kwezizwe eziyi-12 zakwa-Israyeli. Wayezokwembula yonke imithetho Yakhe kuma-Israyeli, futhi akhethe phakathi kwabo abaphrofethi kanye namajaji, futhi babeyoba maphakathi komsebenzi Wakhe. Wenza isivumelwano nabo: Ngaphandle uma inkathi yayishintsha, wayeyosebenza phakathi kwabakhethiweyo kuphela. Isivumelwano sikaJehova sasingenakuguqulwa, ngoba senziwa ngegazi futhi samiswa nabantu Bakhe abakhethiweyo. Okubaluleke kakhulu, Yena wayekhethe isilinganiso nabantu abafanelekile ayezosebenza kubo inkathi iyonke, ngakho abantu basibona isivumelwano njengesibaluleke kakhulu. Lokhu izinga lesibili lencazelo. Ngaphandle kwekaGenesise, eyayingaphambi kokumiswa kwesivumelwano, zonke ezinye izincwadi eTestamenteni Elidala zikhuluma ngomsebenzi phakathi kwama-Israyeli emuva kokumiswa kwesivumelwano. Impela, ngezinye izikhathi kukhona izindaba ngabeZizwe, kodwa jikelele, iTestamente Elidala likhuluma ngomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli. Ngenxa yesivumelwano sikaJehova nabakwa-Israyeli, izincwadi ezibhalwe ngeNkathi Yomthetho zibizwa “ngeTestamente Elidala.” Zibizwa ngesivumelwano sikaJehova nabakwa-Israyeli.

ITestamente Elisha libizwa ngegazi likaJesu elachitheka esiphambanweni kanye nesivumelwano Sakhe nabo bonke abakholwa Kuye. Isivumelwano sikaJesu kwabe kuyilesi: Abantu babedinga ukukholwa kuye nje ukuze izono zabo zithethelelwe ngegazi Lakhe elalichithekile, ngaleyo ndlela babeyosindiswa, futhi bazalwe kabusha Ngaye, futhi babengeke besaqhubeka ukuba yizoni. Abantu babedinga ukuthi bakholwe Kuyena ukuze bathole umusa Wakhe, futhi babengeke bahlupheke esihogweni emuva kokufa. Zonke izincwadi ezabhalwa ngeNkathi Yomusa zaba khona emuva kwalesi sivumelwane, futhi zonke zikhuluma ngomsebenzi namazwi akuso. Lezi zincwadi azidluli ekusindiseni kwesiphambano seNkosi uJesu noma isivumelwano; zonke ziyizincwadi ezabhalwa bangafowethu eNkosini ebabedlule kokuthile. Ngakho, nalezi zincwadi zibizwa ngesivumelwano: Zibizwa ngokuthi ITestamente Elisha. La matestamente amabili aphethe kuphela iNkathi Yomusa kanye neNkathi Yomthetho, futhi awaxhumene nenkathi yokugcina.
