"Joy cometh
in the Morning."
Psalms 30:5

Kokuningi ezifundweni imibhalo eyingwele ngokuvela kuNkulunkulu veza uvo ngenqubekela phambili nokuhle okuvela kuNkulunkulu, uhlela ukwazi ngaphambili ngoNkulunkulu ngohlelo oluqondile sikholwa izimfundiso ngokuhle okuvela kuNkulunkulu isambulo singabonakala futhi ngobuhle simangalise kusuka ngendlela izinto ezibukwa ngazo futhi kunobani.

Isikhathi lapho isimo sivumelekile ubumnyama kubantu, ngeke sikhohlakale kodwa usuku lomangaliso yokuhle kanye nomusa ngokuhle okuvela kuNkulunkulu, ukuholwa uMessiah, yena oyilanga lobuhle obumangalisayo, bayovuka futhi bakhazimule ngobungcwele, bahlanzeke kukho konke, balethe ukuphiliswa nokubusiswa, kuyoba ngaphezu kokulinganayo imbangela yokuhlasimulisa ngobusuku bokuqathaka, ukuzwakalisa ukudangala ubuhlungu ukugula.

Ukufa ukububula kwazekwaba ilesikhathi umusa wakhe uba ngowokuphila konke kusihlwa kungena ukukhala
ekuseni injabulo
AMAHUBO 30:5

What is the world
waiting for?

Ngokwendalo ukudala okuphelele kwaye nokugqiha kanye nobunzima ezinhlungwini kulindile kade amathemba ngosuku olubizwa ngesikhathi sokuthula okuhle kwaye amadoda alangazelela ngokungaboni ingoba abazi ngubuhle bukaJehova nenhloso emangalisayo kodwa ukukwazi kwabo okukhulu ngesikhathi sifishane  ngendlela okufanele kube ngayo.

Umdali omkhulu ulungiselela umgubho wamakholwa ngezinto ezinkulu okuyomangalisa izidalwa zakhe, ngokwenza okungaphezulu okuyizibalo eziphezulu ngokufanele bekulindele noma bakucele.

Futhi kuzidalwa zakhe ezimangele zibuka ubude nobubanzi, ukuphakama nokushona  kothando lukaNkulunkulu olugcono ukudlula konke okulindelekile uyachaza ngokuba imicabango yami ayisiyo imicabngo yenu nezindlela zenu azisizo izindlela zami ziphakeme kunezindlela zenu nemicabango yami nemicabango yenu. ISAYA 55:8,9

The Sun of Righteousness reveals "present truth" now due.

Kepha kulomsebenzi sizozama futhi siyathembisa ngempumelelo ukuhlela ngaphambi kwabalangazelele futhi nabafundi abangamelene nohlelo lukaNkulunkulu njengoba luhlobene nezincazelo zesikhathi esedlule. Inamuhla  nekusasa nokuzinikezela kwakhe, ngendlela engaphezu kwemangalisayo nobuhle kanye nokwamukelekile  kuwowonke umuntu kuyezwakala, kwaye  lokhu umphumela wobuhlakani obungajwayelekile noma amandla kokunye kombhali ukuvumela ukuthi akusikho okwakhe kuwukukhanya okuvela elangeni lokuhle okumangalisayo kulokuqala ukubona imillennial day  elozokwambula lezinto njengeqiniso  lamanje  manje limelwe lithakaselwe ngokuyiqiniso  engahlanganiswe nalutho enhlizweni, selokhu umoya wokungabaza wande kangaka  isisekelo seqiniso  ngenkolo nesisekelo seqiniso sibuzwa njalo, nalabo abaneqiniso.

What is a reasonable foundation for faith?

Sizamile ukukwambula ngokwanele isisekelo okumele konke ukukholwa kwakhiwe ngakho izwi likaNkulunkulu ukunika ithemba baqinisekise kubufakazi impela nakulabo abangakholwa.

Futhi sizamile ukwenza ngendlela ezosekela nezokwamukela ngesizathu njengesisekelo bese sizama ukwakha kulesisekelo  izimfundiso ngemibhao engcwele ngalendlela yokuthi kuqhubeke  ngokushesha, ngokuseqinisweni ukwahlulela kwabantu kungazama ngayo yonke imizila ngayo yonke imithetho ephoqayo engaba ukusho  ukuthi kwenziweni.

Ukukholwa ukuthi lemibhalo engcwele  yambula  ukugcina kwisimo esisodwa kanye nohlelo oluwubungani komunye nomunye okuphi, nini kubonwe, kumelwe kuzidumise ngokwakho bonke benziwe babengcwele ngokwazi okulungile nokungalomsebenzi uvezwe obala ngethemba lokusiza  likaNkulunkulu ngokuhlongoza imicabango eyenza  komunye nomunye ngezwi elivuselelayo labo ababona ibhayibheli njengesambulo sohlelo lukaNkulunkulu futhi nangendlela okubekwa ngayo ngokungangabazi bazovuma ukuthi ukuvuselelwa ngoNkulunkulu kumelwe kufundiswe uma sikuthatha ngokugcwele kwambulwa uhlelo olungaba wubungani kubobonke futhi okusimo esimi ndawonye ngokwakho zonke izimo ngombhaliwesiphrofetho esivela kuNkulunkulu.

Objective:

A plan consistent with God’s character and
harmonizing conflicting Scriptures

Inhloso yethu njengabafuni beqiniso kumele silithole ngukuphelele ngobungani obuphelele nohlelo lokwambula lukaNkulunkulu, futhi lokhu njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu sinesizathu ukulindela njengoba kuthenjiswa ukuthi nxa esefikile yena umoya  weqiniso, uzakuniholela kulo lonke iqiniso ngokuba akayukukhuluma ngokwakhe kodwa lokho akuzwayo uyakukukhuluma anibikele lokhu akuzayo.

Njengabafunayo, sinezindlela ezimbili ezivulekile kithi, eyokuqala ukufuna phakathi kwalabo abambono wamabandla ahlukene futhi sithathe kubo bonke  ngukuhlukana kwabo sikucabange ngokuqikelela iqiniso nokuphela komgomo ubunzima esihlangabezana nabo kukendlela kungaba ukuthi ukwahlulela  kwaphulwa kwaphinde kwaphambana okukanye ukwahlulela ngokungazi nokwaphula kungayi ndawonye  ubunzima kungayi ukukhetha kwethu  okulungile futhi kungenzeka sikhethe ngephutha singalamukeli iqiniso. 

Methods of study:

Ezinye zazo zikhungethe isamba esikhulu esiyiphutha selokhu, ezinye zibalulekile izinhlonipho zisho okusilo iqiniso kwezinye.

Lendlela ingaholela ezinhlizweni ezinzima ezinganathemba nezididayo. Enye indela ukuthi imiqondo yethu siyisuse kuzozonke izihlulelo ngokungazi futhi sikhumbule  ukuthi namunye owaziyo ngohlelo lukaNkulunkulu elambule ezwini lakhe futhi linikezelwe ngokuthula nenhliziyo ephansi futhi ngenhloso yeqiniso yokufuna ukwalulekwa  nemiyalelo yodwa sizokwenza kokukhulu umbhali walulekwa  nokwamukela lona njengoba  sesifikikle isikhathi sokuthi lamukelwe  ngokusebenzisa izinsiza ezihlukene ngokuhle okuvela kuNkulunkulu esinikeziwe kona. Efesu4:11-16

Nearly 2/3 of the world’s population are still heathen

Futhi kuzekube 116millions kwisibalo esingaphezulu kwamalunga asentshonalanga amandla amaKrestu ukukholwa kwabo nokwenza kutholakala kwimigomo nemithetho sisesekelo, kumele sikhumbule kuthi lukhulu kangakanani idlanzana eGermany, England futhi lelizwe lihlulekile ukunakekela liyaxega nakwezenkolo nobumnyama bujululile, uma kungenzeka  futhi  laba abalandela inkolo yabantu abangayinaki inkonzo kaNkulunkulu wabaJuda namaKrestu futhi bangaki abavaleke amehlo ngezinkoleloze abaJuda asamphika uJesu waseNazaretha kwaye abangaphezu kuka 300 millions abalandela igama lakhe  bahlubukile okholweni kwakhe 170 millions abaningi babo baguqa ngaphambi kukaMohamed indawo enhle esilele yabantu eyalaba abakhonza eziphelayo namatshe namadlozi abo amaqhawe afile noma uSathane uqobokonke ngendlela eyodwa  noma basebenzela isidalwa kunoMdali owuNkulunkulu kukho konke babusiswe ingunaphakade.

116 millions ubekwe phansi njengamalunga amabandla amaKrestu ukukholwa nokwenza kwabo kutholakala  kwimigomo nemithetho sisekelo kungaphezu kwesibalo esiyiqiniso, 16 millions cishe usho izibalo amalunga amabandla aphrofethayo yeminyaka emidala futhi 1 million singasaba ungaba ngaphezu kwabavulekile kwimibono abazimisele uqeda ukubaluleka kwamasiko futhi isilinganiso somhlambi omncane abenziwe babengwele kuJesu Krestu abahamba hhayi emva kombani kodwa emva komoya.

Kumele kuzalwe ezingqondweni ukuthi ingxenye ezinkulu amalungu amabandla ayohlale ebalwa ngesibalo esilinganiswe awezingane ezincane nezisanda kuzalwa  isikakhulukazi kulesimo samazwe aseEurope, kokuningi kulokhu izingane zilinganiswe njengamalungu ebandla kusukela besandukuzalwa.

Kodwa indlela okuvela ngayo kufiphele  ngaso isithombe  akusikho ukufiphala kwesithombe esiwele ebuntwini njengamanje, lesithombe esihleshulwe ngaphezulu sibonisa kuphela isizukulwane esiphilayo.

Uma siqaphelisa ukuthi  iminyaka engamakhulu emva kweminyaka engamakhulu yezinkulungwane eziyisithupha zeminyaka edlule ishanele kude enye indawo enhle yenani elikhulu labantu cishe lonke lalivalelwe ndawonye ekuzibeni nezonokunjani ukuba mnyama lapho kwenzeke khona kubukwe ngendlela ethakaselwa abantu abaningi ngokuyiqiniso kuyisithombe esimbi.

Is there hope
for past multitudes?

Uma siqaphelisa ukuthi  iminyaka engamakhulu emva kweminyaka engamakhulu yezinkulungwane eziyisithupha zeminyaka edlule ishanele kude enye indawo enhle yenani elikhulu labantu cishe lonke lalivalelwe ndawonye ekuzibeni nezonokunjani ukuba mnyama lapho kwenzeke khona kubukwe ngendlela ethakaselwa abantu abaningi ngokuyiqiniso kuyisithombe esimbi.

Kokuhlukana kwezikhanyiso zezinkolelo zanamuhla zifundisa ukuthi lezinkulungwane zezinkulungwane zabantu ziziba igama kuphela phansi kwalomhlaba okumele sisinde ngalo basendleleni eqondile engunaphakade ukuhlupheka hayi ngalokho kuphela kepha nalabo bonke 1,161,000,000 amalunga asentshonalanga amabandla amaKrestu ukukholwa kwabo nokwenza  kutholakala kwimigomo nemithetho sisekelo ngaphandle kwabayingcosana abangcwele noma abalungile baneqiniso ngokufanayo namandla ashiwo ukwenza izinto zenzeke

Ingakho nje kulabo abakholwa kwizinto ezimbi ngezinhlelo zikaJehova nezinhloso kumele babenogqozi ekuqhubekeni abathunyelwe ukufafaza inkolo yobuKrestu. Ukumangala ekungabi engathi abahlanyiswa yikho ngempela kube ukukholwa nokuthakasela isiphetho kuyanganelisi impilo konke okuyintokozo futhi zositha kubumnyama bonke ukukhanya nokuthandeka kwendalo

Ukubonisa  ukuthi asizange ukuthatha  ngendlela okungesiyo okuyiqiniso kwisifundo samandla nokucabanga ukwenza  kwenzeke  kwabakholelwa kwinkolo yabantu sicaphune kwiphepha  elibizwa Ukungamenyezelwa ngokucela kwesinqumo sishintshwe ngaphansi kokungesikho okwakhona kwabathunyelwe ukwenza  umsebenzi obalulekile lapho umdwebo ubonisa isiphetho somugqa sithi ukushumayela  izimfundiso zikaKrestu kubonisa amandla amangalisayo izizukulwane ngaphandle 1,000 million wemiphefumulo efayo engenaye uKrestu balahlekelwe  nayithemba kusilinganiso sika 100,000 ngosuku.

Kodwa lokhu kukungala nobumnyama ngendlela abantu  ababona ngayo kusuka ngendlela okubonakala ngayo kubantu bakholelwa  isifundo zemibhalo eyingcwele zibonisa ukukhanya  okuyinhloso yalamakhasi ukukuveza zikhonjwe yizwi ngeke sikholwe ukuthi uhlelo oluhle lukaNkulunkulu lwalumele lube kanje noma lwaloba kanje ngokwehluleka okunje.

Kuzoba isiphumuzo kwizingane ezingaqiniseki ngoNkulunkulu ukuqaphela ukuthi uMprofethi uIsaya washo sona lesimo sezinto futhi nokulungisa okuxovekile ngokuba bheka ubumnyama buyasibekela umhlaba nesigayegaye abantu kepha uJehova uyaphuma phezu kwakho  nenkazimulo yakhe iyakubonakala phezu kwakho.

Izizwe ziyakuhamba ekukhanyeni kwakho namakhosi ekukhazimuleni nokuphumula kwakho.

Ubufakazi balokhu qaphele umoya kulemiqga elandelayo enamathiselwe kwisigcini mazwi ePhiladelphia. Ukungabaza nobumnyama kuyakubanzima ngokungodlame nesikholelwa kukho kwizikole ezahluke, ezingakaqedwa emiqondweni yababhali ngesindlela zokuhle okuvela kuJehova neqiniso lisikhombisa kusuka ezwini likaJehova.

Izibusiso ezikanje ziyeza manje emhlabeni ngokumbuliwe kokuhle okuvela kuJehova ngenhloso kanye nokuvula ngezwi  lokuhlela okuvela kuJehova futhi izibusiso nokwambula isibalo esithemba kuyindlela kulabo abayobheka ecaleni ngokuyikho uhlelo lwemibono ngaphandle kobufakazi obuphathekayo yamadoda nasekuzibophezeleni ngesikhathi ukufuna izifundo ezingcwele ngokungashiyi ngaphandle isizathu futhi uJehova uyasimema thina ukusebenzisa  (Isa. 1:18) zothola ukuthi bhothayi ababusisiwe njengesithembiso kusuka kucikicane kuyakwisithupha  emazulwini kuyiphutha limele labo abanganakho ukukholwa ngokulandelayo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi kumele kuqondakale ngokucacile iqiniso akusikho okokuthi Umhubi uthi Ukukhanya kuhlanyelwe olungileyo ukujabula kuhlanyelwe  abanhliziyo ziqotho Amahubo (97:11) kubantwana bakaNkulunkulu isibani sibekiwe ukukhanya kushabalala  kwizindlela zakhe kakhulu  ebumnyameni.

Izwi lakho liyisibani ezinyaweni  zami nokukhanya endleleni yami. Amahubo 119:105

Umkhondo wabalungileyo njengokukhanya kokusa okuqhubeka ngokukhanya njalo kuze kubesemini. Izaga 4:18

Njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi akakho olungileyo akakho noyedwa kwabase Roma 3:10 lelibanga liqonde ukuqinikesekisa ngokholo kuyigunya kuphela kwibanga elizohamba endleleni ekhazimulayo kakhulu hayi ukubona manje okungambuliwe ngohlelo lukaJehova futhi nezinto ezizayo kwaye kuyiqiniso ukuthi indlela  yomuntu  ngamunye okholwayo  ingekhazimulayo, kube isicelo esiphuthumayo ngalesigameko siqinisekisa lelibanga.

Patriarchs, prophets, apostles and saints
have walked in increasing light

Amadoda aphethe imizi okunye izizwe  abaprofethi, abapostoli, kanye nabangcwele besikhathi esidlule nesamanje ekwandiseni ukukhanya, ukukhanya kuzoqhubeka bande ngaphezu kwesikhathi samanje kuze kufike usuku oluhle noma olufanele kuyindlela eqhubekayo futhi eqhubeka nokukhanya nokuqoshiwe okuhle okuvela kuJehova ukukhanya  ngokomoya kuyakusondela ngakhoke udumo kuNkulunkulu nokulunga nokuhle silindele ukugcwala kwezithembiso.

Abaningi banokholo oluncane ngalokho ababuki ukukhanya  futhi ngoba ngokungathembeki  kanye  nokungabi nandaba bagunyaziwe ukuhlala ebunyameni ngabe bengena ekwandiseni ukukhanya.

The Morning Cometh

Umoya kaNkulunkulu anikezelwe emabandleni ukuholela eqinisweni bazothatha  izinto ezibhaliwe zikhonjiswe kuthina kodwa ngaphezu kwalakho okubhaliwe asidingi lutho nokuthi kusukela ebuntwaneni wazi imibhalo engcwele enamandla okukuhlakaniphisa kubeyinsindiso ngokukholwa kuKrestu uJesu  Tim 2  3:5 kwaye futhi kuyiqiniso ukuthi ubumnyama bumboza umhlaba ubumnyama obushaqisayo kukubantu.

"The morning cometh"
– for all the world

Umhlaba awuhlezi ukulesimo siqinisekisiwe umlindi wathi uyeza ukusa kepha busebusuku. (Isa. 21:12)

Ngakhoke ningahluleli lutho singakafiki isikhathi, ingakafiki iNkosi eyakuveza ekukhanyeni okufihlakeleyo kobumnyama  iveze obala izizindlo  zezinhliziyo, laphoke yilowo nalowo uyakuthola ukubongwa kuNkulunkulu kwabase Korinte 1 4:5 kuyoshabalalisa ubuhlungu nokuxoshiwe emoyeni kumoya omubi, futhi kulethe ukuphila, impilo uxolo, injabulo noma intokozo.

Uma sibuka esikhathini esidlulile sithola ukuthi ukukhanya babuboniswa kodwa kubuthaka nongucacile ukufiphala kanye nokungaboni ngokucacile kwakuyizithembiso zesikhathi esedlule  izithembiso ezenziwa kuAbraham kanye nabanye zikhombisa ngokomthetho nemigubho yakwa Israel yabe izithunzi futhi yanika umbono ongacacile ngomangaliso kuNkulunkulu kanye nokuzwela okwakhiwe.

Jewish hope

Njengoba sesifika ezinsukwini zikaJesu ukukhanya kuyanda. Ubude bokulindelekile kuzekube lesosikhathi kube ukuthi uJehova uzoletha othunyelwe ukuhlenga uIsrael kwizitha zakhe nokubanyusa ukuba babe amakhosi esizwe somhlaba kuyindlela yamandla nezimfundiso zikaNkulunkulu singasebezisa njengezisebenzi zakhe ukubusisa yonke imindeni yomhlaba.

Ithuba elinikezelwe kubo lokuba zindlalifa embusweni kaNkulunkulu wawungongajwayelekile  ezimweni eziphoqayo kulokhu ababekulindele kanye nesilinganiso sezinto ezingenzeka njengomuso kwebanga elikhethiwe lihlomula isimangaliso esithenjisiwe nangokubona kwabantu nendlela abayithatha ngayo nokungajwayelekile ukwenzeka ukuthi bonke kodwa abayingcosana babengawuboni umlayezo.

Ukungaboni kwabo kanye nokubanempi kukho bekukhuphula ngokwendalo nini ngesikhathi sohle lukaNkulunkulu isikhathi sesifikile ukudlulisa umlayezo, nokumemeza ekuhlanganyeleni kumbuso othenjisiwe novulelekile  kuzozonke izidalwa ngaphansi kwezulu, okumele ngabe ngokukholwa bayabona ingane yokukholwa Abraham kanye nendlalifa ethenjisiwe eyenziwe kuye.

Izinkulumo zinkolelo ngalendlela ezakheka ngayo  eminyakeni eminingi edlule iningi lamaKrestu  anenkoleloze ngokukhombisa inhlonipho kwinkolo, kumele ngabe akunakuningi okwaziwa ngohlelo luka Nkulunkulu njengalokhu kwaziwa  abasunguli. Leliphutha kube likhulu kabi ngaphandle kokuthiemihle imigomo ngeqiniso ayengamelwe ngokugcola kunezinkomba ezibalulekile  ngokuma kweqiniso selizofika futhi lamaKrestu basuswe izinkulumo  nkolelo zabo zogange.

Abafundi abathembekile ezwini kumele behlezi benika isizathu ngethemba kuye.  Izwi likaNkulunkulu lilodwa lingenza ubuhlakani futhi libe inzuzo, nenkolelo, nemiyalelo lokhu indoda kaNkulunkulu ingabangecocekile. (1Pet. 3:15; 2 Tim. 3:15-17)

Ilendlu kuphela yokuhlenga enongokungakhathali  ukunikezela ngezinto ezintsha nezindala  inyama isifikelwe isikhathi emizini eqinisweni namunye okholwa imibhalo ngezinkulumo esithi sesinalo izwi lesiprofetho eliqinisekile kakhulu enenza kahle ukuliqaphela kungathi liyisibani esikhanyayo endaweni emnyama kuze kuse ikhwezi liphumele enhlizweni zenu. 2 Pet. 1:19

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
II Timothy 3:16

Ulwazi ngokuphele akuyona into yakudala kodwa kwekusasa ikusasa  eliseduzane siyethemba size sibone ngendlela ukuthi asilungisele ukukuthakasela nokulandela okusha okungavuliwe ngezinhlelo zikaBaba wethu.

Iqiniso sisaphindela kumazwi abaprofethi kanye nabaPostoli ngalo lonke ulwazi ngesikhathi samanje nekusasa hayi kepha ngoba njalo saqonda uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu kanye nezinhloso ezazingcono, kodwa ngoba uNkulunkulu usebenzise bona njengombhobho ukuxhumana nathi kuwowonke amabandla ebanga lamaKrestu, iqiniso lihlobene nalezinhlelo njengoba ngoshesha seziphelele isikhathi.

Leliqiniso liqinisekisiwe  ngobuse qophelweni eliphezulu ngabaPostoli uPaul uyasitshela  ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenze waziwa kumandla amaKrestu  imfihlo yesifiso sakhe ayeyihlose kuye asizange sambulwa phambilini ekubeni  wayenaso siqoshiwe ekushiwo ubumnyama asizange saziqonda  kuze sifike  empeleni amehlo nokuqonda kwethu makuvulwe ukuthi sithakasele ubizo olukhulu eyakhelwa ngaphandle kwakholwa ebanga lamaKrestu. Eph. 1:9,10,17,18; 3:4-6

Lokhu kusikhombisa  ngokusobala ukuthi hay abaProfethi noma izingelossi aqonda kusho uthini ukukhuluma  kweziprofethi Peter uthi uma bebuza ngokulangazelela ukwazi basho ukuthini,  uNkulunkulu wabatshela bona ukuthi iqiniso lamboza ebuprofethini kwakungekona  okwabo kodwa kwethu bebanga lamaKrestu futhi waqguqguzela amabandla ukuthemba futhi kulombusoozayo (izibusiso, ukuhawukelwa) kulendlela kakhulu ulwazi yohlelo lukaNkulunkulu. 1Pet. 1:10-13

Apostle Peter

Kuyimfakazo ukuthi noma uJesu athembisa amandla kumele baholwe kulolonke iqinio kwamukele kwenzeke kancane kungavulwa.

Ngesikhathi amabandla azinsukwini zabaPostoli lalikhulekile kwamaningi amaphutha  aqhamuka ngaphansi kohlelo labaBishop  kwaye ngeke siqinisike ukuthi amabandla akudaala abona ngokujula noma ngokucacile ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu  okungenzeka kubonakale namuhla.

Kuyimfakazo futhi ukuthi abaPostoli abahlukene banezikhundla ezihlukene ukubona uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu noma yonke imibhalo ayeholela ekhuthazwe uNkulunkulu ngendlela yeyiqiniso ngalo amazwi abaprofethi ukucacisa umehluko wolwazi sinalo kodwa  ukukhumbula imfundiso engenasisekelo ngesikhathi sikaPeter kanye abanye abapostoli ngaphandle kukaPaul uma izimfundiso zikaJesu zaqala ukuya kwabangawona amaJuda. (Izenzo 10:28; 11:1-3; Gal. 2:11-14)

Peter ngokungaqinise  kwakulalwe mbono ohlukile  kuPaul kuqinisekisa ukhuthazwe ngamazwi abaprofethi izindlela zokuxhumana zakudala futhi izambulo eziqondile zenziwe kuye.

Apostle Paul

Ukungaqiniseki kuakaPeter kwakumakwe ngokuhlukile ngokuqinisekisa uPaul ukhuthaza ngamazwi wabaprofethi, God izinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu izambulo zenziwe kuye uqobo.

Paul ngokusobala wayenokuningi okungaphezu kwezambulo kunabanye abaPostoli. Lezizambulo wayengavunyelwe ukuzenza zaziwe emabandleni ngeke nangokungcwele nokucacile nakwabanye abaPostoli. (2Cor. 12:4; Gal.  2:2)

Kwaye siyabona ubungako nokubaluleka kuwowonke amabandla kuleyomibono kanye nezambulo zinikezelwe kuPaul kodwa wayengavunyelwe ukusho ukuthi uboneni noma ngabe yini konke wayazi kwakuwokuthile okungachazeki kukaNkulunkulu kusiyalela ngesikhathi esizayo kwaye akubona kwakumnika ingcindezi kufiphele futhi kujulile nangokwencazelo kumazwi akhe lapho ukukhanya okufika emva kwesikhathi okuyikho, umphrofetho ogcwalisayo kanye nemimoya esikhombisa indlela, siyakwazi ukuthakasela kakhulu ngokugcwele kumabandla akuqala.

Apostle John

Njengoba siza ukuqinisekisa inkulumo yenkulumo edlule kusibuyisela encwadini yokugcina ebhayibhelini Isambulo yabhalwa AD 96. Amazwi okuvula amemezela kona njengesambulo esikhethekile nesibalulekile kwizinto ezingaqondakalanga ngaphambili. Lokhu kukhomba ngokuphelele kulesiyasikhathi akunani. Uhlelo lukaJehova alwambuliwe ngokugcwele.

Nencwadi ayizange yabanjalo kuze kube manje konke lokho igama kusho ukuthi okungavuliwe isambulo okwamanje njengoba amabandla akuqala bekukhathelele kusobala neyodwa eqonda noma iyiphi ingxenye yalencwadi. Nembala uJohane owabona imibono kusobala akazange wakunaka lokhu akubona.

Wayengumphrofethi aphinde abengumphostoli ngesikhathi ewumphostoli wayeqonda futhi wayecabanga ukuthini ngalesiyasikhathi inyama efike ngesikhathi esifanele njengomphrofethi wayesho kakhulu izinto ezaziletha inyama esikhathini esizayo yemizi.

Ngesikhathi samaKrestu abanye abakhethelwe okungcwele bazama ukuthola baqonde ikusasa lamabandla ngoluhlola lencwadi eyizinkomba ngokungangabazi bonke abafunda baqonda nembala nengxenye yezimfundiso zabusiswa njengesithembiso Isambulo1:3 incwadi yayilokhu ikuveza lokhu ezinsukwini zenhlangano ngokuhlukumeza Amakhatholika yabe ibalulekile kuLuther ekukhetheni abaBhishopi, ekubeni futhi babefisa ukwenza kahle nabakhethelwe ukuhola okwenkolo, empeleni yabe yimelene nobuKrestu yashiwo abaphostoli ukufunda ngezinto esezadlula futhi manje siyabona igcwalisa indawo enkulu ngesiprofetho.

Kodwa kwenzeka kancane ngokungajahi uNkulunkulu usivulela iqiniso wambula ingcebo edlulele yomusa wakho ngokulandelayo kuningi ukukhanya okuzayo manje kunokunye kwezikhathi zamabandla nokudlule.
