IBhayibheli liyincwadi yesiphrofetho

Abanye abantu babheka iBhayibheli njengencwadi nje yomlando noma yezinganekwane ze-Israyeli. Kepha, iBhayibheli liyincwadi endala kunazo zonke emhlabeni, eyabhalwa ngezikhathi ezihlukene yinqwaba yabantu beminyaka nemisebenzi ehlukahlukene, eminyakeni engaphezu kwe-1,600 (nkulungwane namakhulu ayisithupha). Okumangalisa kakhulu wukuthi yonke into eyabhalwa eminyakeni eyi-1,600 (nkulungwane namakhulu ayisithupha) ixhunywe njengesiphrofetho nokugcwaliseka kwaso.

Phakathi kwemibhalo yeBhayibheli, ake sifunde isiphrofetho esimayelana neNkosi uKhoresi nokugcwaliseka kwaso. INkosi uKhoresi yaba umsunguli woMbuso wasePheresiya, nomqobi wamazwe aseMpumalanga. Ake sibheke impumelelo yakhe enkulu elotshwe eBhayibhelini.

“Nakhu okushiwo nguKhoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya, uthi: “ ‘USimakade uNkulunkulu wasezulwini unginike yonke imibuso yomhlaba, wangiqoka ukuba ngimakhele indlu eJerusalema, kwaJuda.” ‘ “ Ezr 1:2-3

Kungani uKhoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya, adumisa uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, wakhulula nama-Israyeli na? INkosi uKhoresi yabona igama lakhe lilotshwe encwadini ka-Izaya, eyayilotshwe eminyakeni ecishe ibe yi-170 (khulu namashumi ayisikhombisa) ngaphambi kokuba akhulule ama-Israyeli.

“Usho kanje uSimakade kogcotshiweyo wakhe, uKhoresi, osandla sakhe sokunene ngisibambile ukuba ngehlule izizwe phambi kwakhe, . . . Ngiyakukunika ingcebo yobumnyama, nemfuyo ethukusiweyo ezindaweni ezifihlakeleyo, ukuba wazi ukuthi nginguSimakade okubiza ngegama lakho, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.” Iza 45:1-3

yakhulula ama-Israyeli njengoba kwakuphrofethiwe eBhayibhelini. Ngenxa yalokho, iNkosi uKhoresi isanconywa ngabantu njengenkosi yasendulo eyakhulula izigqila, yabona nelungelo lenkululeko yenkolo. IBhayibheli laphrofetha ngokuzalwa kukaJesu njengomntwana eminyakeni ecishe ibe ama-700 (khulu ayisikhombisa) ngaphambi kokuza kwakhe emhlabeni.

“. . . intombi izakukhulelwa, izale indodana, iyiqambe ngokuthi ngu-Imanuweli.” Iza 7:14

Ngokwalesi siphrofetho, uNkulunkulu wazalwa enguJesu ngomzimba wentombi uMariya (Mt 1:18–23). Ngaphezu kwalokho, iBhayibheli lachaza kusengaphambili indlela uJesu ayezohlupheka ngayo.

“Yayidelelekile, yashiywa ngabantu, ... Yebo, yahlatshwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu, yachotshozwa ngobubi bethu; isijeziso sethu saba phezu kwayo, ukuze sibe nokuthula; nangemivimbo yayo, siphilisiwe thina.” Iza 53:3-5

Ngokwalesi siphrofetho, uJesu wagwazwa ngomkhonto, wabhaxabulwa (Mt 27:26–35; Jn 19:34). Nakuba abantu babengaziqondi iziphrofetho zeBhayibheli ngenkathi zisabhalwa, zonke sezigcwalisekile.

Ngakho iBhayibheli liyasixwayisa ukuthi singakudeleli ukuphrofetha (1 Th 5:20). Yingoba angeke sisindiswe uma sidelela iziprofetho zeBhayibheli. Njengoba iziphrofetho eziningi zigcwaliseke njengoba zibhaliwe, kanjalo neziphrofetho ezisele zizogcwaliseka nakanjani.

“Kuyakuba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, kubhoke indlala ezindaweni eziningi, kube khona ubhubhane, izinto ezesabekayo nezibonakaliso ezinkulu ezivela ezulwini.” Lk 21:11

IBhayibheli lisitshela ukuthi kumele sibalekele eZiyoni ukuze sisindiswe mhla kufika inhlekelele enkulu yokugcina nokubhujiswa.

“. . . Buthanani, . . . Misani ibhanela libheke eZiyoni, nibaleke niyocasha, ningemi, ngokuba ngiyakwehlisa inhlekelele ivela enyakatho, nokubhujiswa okukhulu.” Jer 4:5-6

IZiyoni, lapho kugcinwa khona imikhosi kaNkulunkulu, iyindawo yesiphephelo nensindiso uNkulunkulu asithembise yona (Iza 33:20). Emhlabeni, Inhlangano Ethunywe Ezweni iBandla likaNkulunkulu yilona lodwa ibandla emhlabeni eligubha imikhosi kaNkulunkulu ngokwezimfundiso zeBhayibheli; liyiZiyoni.
