Isahluko 27 — Ezinye Izifakazelo Ziqinisekisiwe

GSAM 442.1“UJehoshafati wema wathi, Ngilaleleni, nina bakaJuda, nina nahlali baseJerusalema; nikholwe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, niyomiselwa; nikholwe abaprofethi bakhe, niyophumelela.”¹

GSAM 442.2Eminyakeni eyedlule kwaba nobufakazi obanikezwe ngesipho sobuprofethi ukuthi ngaphambi kokuphela amakhasi aphrintiwe aleli qiniso “azosatshalaliswa njengamaqabunga asekwindla.” Indlela lokhu okwakungafezeka ngayo ngaphandle kokuthi abantu abakholelwa eqinisweni bahlelwe noma baqoqwe ukuze benze lo msebenzi, kwakuwumbuzo owavela ezingqondweni zabaningi. Ekuphathweni kukaNkulunkulu, imiphumela emikhulu ivame ukufezeka kusukela ekuqaleni okuncane kakhulu; kanjalo kwaba njalo ekuthuthukisweni kohlelo lokusebenza olwavela phakathi kwethu.

GSAM 442Inhlangano Yezincwajana Nobumishinari

GSAM 442.3Cishe ngonyaka ka-1870 umqondo wenhlangano yezincwajana nobumishinari waphakanyiswa okokuqala ngodadewethu abazinikele abambalwa eSouth Lancaster, eMassachusetts. Laba dadewethu bazama, okwesikhashana, uhlelo lokuthumela ngoposi amaphephandaba namabhukwana enhlangano yethu kubantu abahlukene abangaphandle kokholo lwethu, bese bebabhalela izincwadi. Lokhu kwaholela ekutheni abantu abaningi bamukele iqiniso, okwavusa umbuzo engqondweni kaMfundisi S. N. Haskell: “Kungani bonke abantu bethu bengazibandakanyi ekwenzeni lokho okwenziwe odadewethu abambalwa?” Phakathi nonyaka ka-1871, ikakhulukazi, lolu daba lwaxoxwa kakhulu ezihlokweni zeReview. Emhlanganweni okhethekile weNgqungquthela Jikelele owabanjwa mhla zingama-29 kuDisemba 1871, lapho uMfundisi Haskell ekhona futhi echaza usizo olusebenzayo lolu hlelo, kwadlulwa isinqumo esiphakamisa ukusungulwa kwezinhlangano zezincwajana. OMfundisi uS. N. Haskell, uW. H. Littlejohn, uJ. N. Andrews, uJ. H. Waggoner, noI. D. Van Horn bakhethwa njengekomidi lokuphelelisa izinhlelo zokusungula lezo zinhlangano.

GSAM 443.1Lolu hlelo lwethule inkathi entsha ekuqhubekeni komsebenzi womyalezo. Kuze kube manje, ukufundisa iqiniso kwakugxile cishe ngokuphelele emizamweni yomshumayeli ophilayo. Eminyakeni eminingana uMfundisi Haskell wasebenza ngokuzikhandla kakhulu ekutadisheni nasekwethuleni izinhlelo zokwenza inhlangano yezincwajana nobumishinari ibe yimpumelelo. Ukuze sibe nobulungisa kuye, kumele sithi wayengumqalayo ngempela kulo mkhakha. Lokhu akusikho kuphela ngokuphathelene nezinhlangano zezincwajana nezobumishinari zesifundazwe, kodwa yena owethula ngo-1878 eNgqungqutheleni Jikelele eyayihlangene eBattle Creek uhlelo lweNhlangano Jikelele Yezincwajana (kamuva eyabizwa ngokuthi i-International Tract Society), insimu yayo yokusebenza yindawo engaphandle kwezingqungquthela zethu, hhayi eMelika kuphela kodwa nakwamanye amazwe.

GSAM 443Onobhala Abasebenza Kahle—Maria Huntley

GSAM 443.2INkosi ngokuphathwa kwayo yavusa onobhala abasebenza kahle, ababe usizo olukhulu kuMfundisi Haskell kulolu hlelo. UDade Maria Huntley wayengomunye owasebenza ngokungesabi, ngisho nangemva kweminyaka ebuhlungwini obukhulu bomzimba, wafa esikhundleni sakhe cishe eminyakeni eyishumi nane edlule. Ngomzamo wakhe, amathuba amaningi okwamanje emikhakheni yangaphandle aqala ukutholakala. Abanye onobhala bajoyine lo msebenzi ofanayo, futhi njengoba insimu yomsebenzi yandisiwe, sekudingeka onobhala ezilimini ezahlukene.

GSAM 444Umthelela Emabandleni Endawo

GSAM 444.1Kodwa umphumela obaluleke kakhulu wokusungulwa komsebenzi wenhlangano yezincwajana phakathi kwethu ube ngumthelela owakhuthaza ukudala nokukhulisa umoya wobumishinari phakathi kwezinhlangano zamabandla endawo. Kunikeze wonke umuntu ithuba lokwenza okuthile ngokubhalelana nangokusabalalisa izinto zokufunda, nokuzwa ugqozi lomsebenzi oqondile wokusindisa imiphefumulo.

GSAM 444Ubufakazi Obuphathelene Nomsebenzi Wezincwajana

GSAM 444.2Ukuze sikhombise imvelo yemfundiso enikeziwe ngomoya wobuprofethi ngesihloko somsebenzi wezincwajana nomsebenzi wobumishinari, sicaphuna ku-Testimonies Nos. 29 no-30:—

GSAM 444.3“Uma kukhona umsebenzi owodwa obaluleke kakhulu kunowunye, wukuletha izincwajana zethu phambi komphakathi, ngaleyo ndlela kubaholele ekucwaningeni imiBhalo. Umsebenzi wobumishinari—wokwethula izincwajana zethu emindenini, ukukhuluma nabo nokuthandaza nabo nokubathandazela—ngumsebenzi omuhle, futhi ngumsebenzi ozofundisa amadoda nabesifazane ukwenza umsebenzi wokuphatha imiphefumulo.

GSAM 444.4“Akuyena wonke umuntu ofanele lo msebenzi. Labo abanethalente namakhono angcono kakhulu, abazowuthatha lo msebenzi ngokuqonda nangohlelo, bawuthuthukise ngomdlandla onganqikazi, yibo okufanele bakhethwe. Kufanele kube nohlelo oluhlelwe kahle ngokuphelele; futhi kumele lwenziwe ngokwethembeka. Amabandla kuyo yonke indawo kumele azizwe enentshisekelo ejulile emsebenzini wokwethula izincwajana nowobumishinari.”

GSAM 444.5“Umsebenzi wezincwajana nobumishinari uyiwo umsebenzi omuhle. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Akufanele udelelwe nganoma iyiphi indlela; kodwa kunengozi eqhubekayo yokuwuphambukisa enjongweni yawo yangempela. Kudingeka abathengisi ukuze basebenze emkhakheni wobumishinari. Abantu abangahloniphi abafanele lo msebenzi. Amadoda nabesifazane abanobuchule bokuxhumana, ikhono lokukhuluma kahle, ukubona okuzayo ngokucacile, nokucabanga ngokuhlakanipha, futhi abazwa ukubaluleka kwemiphefumulo, yibo abangaphumelela.”

GSAM 445.1Ukuthengiswa kwezincwadi, amaphamphulethi namatrakthi anenani elingaphezu kuka-$8,000,000 phakathi neminyaka eyishumi nambili, ngamabandla ethu nangabathengisi bezincwadi, kuyisiqiniseko esikhulu sokubaluleka ngempela komsebenzi weNhlangano Yezincwajana Nobumishinari.

GSAM 445Umbikezelo Ngokumelene Nokuhlakanipha Komhlaba

GSAM 445.2Kwaba nezwi lesiprofetho elalinikezwe maqondana nomsebenzi emkhakheni waseYurophu, eligcwaliseka ngokoqobo kangangokuba lifanele ukunakwa lapha. Abasebenzi nabantu baqinisekisa ukuthi lo msebenzi awunakwenziwa lapho, ikakhulukazi eScandinavia, njengaseMelika. UNkk. White, okwamangaza bona, wathi hhayi nje ukuthi kungaqhutshekela ngempumelelo, kodwa kungagcinwa ngendlela efanayo njengaseMelika, nokuthi uJehova wamkhombisa ukuthi uma bezimisele ukukhokha okweshumi kwabo, ngisho nasezimholweni ezincane abazitholayo, uNkulunkulu wayezobabusisa ngaphezu kwalokho ababekulindele. Waphinde wabatshela ukuthi abathengisi bengathengisa izincwadi ngokubhalisa eScandinavia, futhi bekuyophumelela. Abaphathi bezinkampani zokushicilela kulezo zizwe bathi, “Akunakwenzeka;” bona “bengakaze bathengise izincwadi ngaleyo ndlela.” Okulandelayo sekukhombisile ukuthi lokho ingelosi yeNkosi eyamnikeza yona kule ndaba bekuphakeme kakhulu kunobuhlakani babathengisi bezincwadi nabashicileli bomhlaba. Impumelelo ihambisane nomsebenzi wokumaketha izincwadi lapho kusukela ekuqaleni kwawo. Abanye balabo abaqala ukukhokha okweshumi kwemali yabo encane engenayo sebephenduke abathengisi bezincwadi, futhi abaziphilisi nje kuphela kodwa bathole imali eningi kunangaphambili, ngaleyo ndlela bakwazi ukukhokha okweshumi okukhulu kakhulu.

GSAM 445.3Izincwadi ezingaphezu kwe-$40,000 ngenani zathengiswa ngabathengisi ngonyaka ka-1895, ezaziphrintiwe endlini yethu yokushicilela eChristiana, eNorway. Phawula lokhu njengesinye isiprofetho esigcwalisekile, futhi lokhu kwenzeka naphezu kokuphikiswa kuzo zonke izinhlangothi, kokubili esontweni nangaphandle kwaso, ukuthi lokhu bekungeke kwenzeke.

GSAM 445.4Mayelana nomsebenzi wezinhlangano zezincwajana ezasungulwa ngo-1871 nangemva kwalokho, kungaphepha ukusho ukuthi cishe abantu abaningi bafikiswe eqinisweni ngomzamo wabasebenzi abanjalo njengalowo wemizamo yomsebenzi wokushumayela mathupha. Ngalesi sikhungo umyalezo ushicilelwa kuwo wonke amazwe nezilimi zomhlaba.

GSAM 446Ubucwebe Nomsebenzi Wezincwajana

GSAM 446.1Kubikiwe into ethokozisayo yiNhlangano Yezincwajana Nobumishinari eCalifornia ngo-Ephreli 1873. Kwabe sekushiwo ukuthi ubucwebe obabe bulethwe enhlanganweni ngabantu ababemukele iqiniso kuleso sifundazwe, kuze kube yilolo suku, bwancibilikiswa, bwahlolwa, futhi bwathengiswa ngenani labo langempela legolide nesiliva ngenani elingu-$200; nokuthi yonke le mali yatshalwa emabhukwini, ezincwadini ezincane, nasemaphephandabeni, okwakusatshalaliswa, nokuthi inhlangano yayivele inolwazi oluqinile ngabantu abangamashumi amabili ababeholelwe ekwamukeleni iqiniso ngenxa yezincwadi ezazithengwe ngemali etholiwe ekuthengisweni kobucwebe. Phakathi kwabo abafikiswe ekwazini iqiniso ngokufunda kwakukhona uJohn I. Tay, wase-Oakland, eCalifornia.

GSAM 446ISan Francisco Indawo Yobumishinari

GSAM 446.2Ngo-1875 kwenziwa ubufakazi obubalulekile ebandleni laseSan Francisco, okugcizelelwa manje ngenxa yokugcwaliseka kwabo okumangalisayo. Leli bandla kusukela ekuqaleni beliphoqelekile ukuqasha amahholo emihlanganweni yalo, futhi lokhu bekubiza kakhulu futhi kube nokungakhululeki, ngoba bekungekho uchungechunge lwemihlangano olwalungahlelwa ngoba amahholo ayedingeka kwezinye izinjongo izikhathi eziningi.

GSAM 446.3Ngasihlwa zango-14 no-20 Ephreli 1875, amalungu ahamba phambili ebandla laseSan Francisco abizwe ndawonye endlini kaNkk. J. L. James, Fifth Street, eduze kweMarket Street, kanti uNkk. White wasitshela lapho lokho ayekuboniswe embonweni mayelana nesimo, okwakuwukuthi iSan Francisco izohlala iyindawo yobumishinari lapho umsebenzi ungaqhutshwa khona; nokuthi imiphefumulo izoqhubeka, uma udaba luphathwa ngokuhlakanipha, yamukela iqiniso. Uma kwakwakhiwa indlu yokukhuleka lapho abantu abangamenywa khona, futhi lapho umsebenzi ungaphathwa khona, kwakuzongezwa imiphefumulo enanini labo, ezazizosiza ukuhlangabezana nezindleko nokwehlisa isikweletu okwakumele sithwalwe ekulungiseni indlu yomhlangano.

GSAM 447.1UNkk. White waqhubeka wathi wayebone ukuthi lapho ezokhuthaza ibandla laseSan Francisco ukubaluleka kokwakha indlu yokukhulekela, kwakuzobukeka kulelo bandla elihlwempu njengokuhamba ebumnyameni; kodwa wayeyalelwe ukuthi athi njengoba behamba bayobona umusa kaNkulunkulu uvula indlela phambi kwabo, isinyathelo ngesinyathelo, nokuthi abangane bazovela yonke indlela, kuze kube sekugcineni isikweletu sizokhokhwa ngokuphelele.

GSAM 447.2Njengomunye wabambalwa ababehlangana emihlanganweni esivele kushiwo, ngingasho ukuthi umbono walelo qembu, elalinabantu abampofu balo mhlaba cishe bonke, lokuzibophezela ekwakheni indlu yomhlangano engu-35 x 80 izinyawo, futhi lokhu kwakwenzeka edolobheni lapho izindleko ezincane zomhlabathi zazidinga okungenani u-$6,000, kwakubonakala ngempela njengokuthi “kuhamba ebumnyameni.” Bakhuthazwa ukuba benze lesi sinyathelo kuphela ngokwethemba okuphelele ababekunokuthi ubufakazi obabulethwe kubo nguNkk. White babuvela eNkosini, futhi ngokuqinisekile buzogcwaliseka.

GSAM 447.3Njengoba bengihlanganyele kulo msebenzi cishe kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube manje, ngifisa ukusho lapha ukuthi ubufakazi obungenhla bugcwalisekile ngazo zonke izindlela. Lapho saqala ukufuna izindawo, saphumelela ukuthola indawo ebiza u-$6,000 ngokukhokha u-$4,000. Udade oyedwa wathi wayezonikeza u-$1,000 uma engakwazi ukuthengisa indawo yakhe. Ngokushesha wabeka impahla ezandleni zomthengisi wezindlu nomhlaba, owamtshela ukuthi intengo yayiphansi kakhulu. Phakathi kwamaviki amabili indawo yakhe yathengiswa ngama-$1,000 ngaphezulu kwenani ayeyilinganise ekuqaleni, kwaphothulwa isithembiso sakhe. Omunye, umfowethu ompofu ongazange abone ukuthi ibandla lingakhiwa kanjani, kodwa wathi, “Uma iNkosi ithi kumele kwenziwe, izovula indlela noma ngabe kanjani,” wathola, ngokumangala kwakhe, ukuthi ifa lomunye wamalungu omndeni wakhe selixazululiwe, futhi yena waba ngumnikazi wama-$20,000. Wanikela ngo-$1,000 ekwakheni, wathenga ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu zomhlaba webandla ukuze akhe indlu yakhe, ngaleyo ndlela wasiza inhlangano ngezindlela ezimbili.

GSAM 448Isibusiso Esibalulekile eSan Francisco

GSAM 448.1Ngakho-ke singasho ukuthi kwakukhona iminikelo eminingi nezibusiso ikomidi elihlangabezane nazo ngesikhathi liqhubeka nokwakha lesi sakhiwo. Kwanele ukusho ukuthi isakhiwo sebandla sakhiwa ngemali ecishe ibe ngu-$14,000, kuhlanganisa nomhlaba, okungaphezu kwesigamu salokho kwakukhokhelwe ngeminikelo ngaphambi kokuqedwa kwesakhiwo. I-Laguna Street, lapho kwakhiwe khona lesi sakhiwo, ingxenye yedolobha eyayingenazo izakhiwo ezanele zezikole, ibhodi lesikole laqala ukuqasha amagumbi angaphansi ukuze libambe isikole ngaphambi kokuba uphahla lufakwe endlini. Imali yokuqasha engu-$75 ngenyanga, eyayitholakala cishe iminyaka emibili, yahlangabezana nenzalo nezindleko zokusebenza, kwashiya inhlangano ithola imali eyayizoyisebenzisa ekwehliseni isikweletu esisele.

GSAM 448Isikhungo Sokwelapha Ngamanzi

GSAM 448.2Njengamanje kusasele ingxenye encane yaleso sikweletu, futhi egumbini elingaphansi kwebandla kunesikhungo sokwelapha ngamanzi esiphelele, konke lokhu kungaphazamiseki ngezinkinga zezimali, futhi kunenani elikhulu kakhulu kunaleso sikweletu esisele, esizoba yindaba esedlule maduze.

GSAM 448.3Ingxenye yobufakazi ephathelene nemiphefumulo eyamukela iqiniso igcwalisekile ngokumangalisayo. Akukhona nje amashumi, kodwa amakhulu, abantu abamukele ukukhanya kweqiniso kulelo dolobha, futhi manje sebehlakazekile ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zomhlaba. Ngesikhathi ngivakashela eSan Francisco, ngivame ukubona abantu ababili kuya kweyishumi abamukele iqiniso selokhu ngahlangana nabo okokugcina; futhi akukapheli okwamanje.

GSAM 449Ukushona kukaMfundisi White

GSAM 449.1Cishe ngonyaka ka-1880 uNkk. White wafundiswa ngomoya wobuprofethi ukuthi athi kumyeni wakhe, uMfundisi uJames White, ukuthi kumele abeke phansi izinkathazo nemithwalo eminingi ayebambe, aphinde ayidlulisele ezandleni zabanye abasha, kanti yena kumele “azilungiselele inguquko yakhe yokugcina”—okusho ukuthi umjaho wakhe womhlaba wawuzophela kungekudala. Le miyalelo waqala ukuyilalela, futhi kwakungesikhathi esifanele, ngoba ngonyaka ka-1881 imisebenzi yakhe yema, wabe eselala kuJesu. NgoJulayi 31 wahlaselwa umalaleveva. Ngo-Agasti 3 wasuswa ekhaya lakhe waya eSanitarium yaseBattle Creek, lapho athola khona yonke inakekelo nokunakwa okwakungenzeka kunikezwe, kodwa kwakungasizi lutho. Waqhubeka esiba sibi kakhulu. Kusukela ekuqaleni kokugula kwakhe wayenombono wokuthi “ushintsho lwakhe lokugcina” isifikile.

GSAM 449Isitatimende sikaMfundisi uSmith

GSAM 449.2Uma ekhuluma ngalesi sigameko, uMfundisi Uriah Smith uthi: “Izimo zokufa kwakhe bezingeke zibe ngcono kakhulu. Ngesikhathi esaphaphama ezinsukwini ezintathu zokugcina zokugula kwakhe, wafakaza ukuthi akazange azwe ubuhlungu. Inqwaba yabangane abaqotho nabakhala izinyembezi babemi ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwesakhiwo ngesikhathi ntambama yeSabatha elihle impilo yakhe yancipha kancane kancane. Njengokuwela ekuthuleni kokulala, wangena ekufeni; kwathi lapho konke sekuphelile, ukuthula okumnandi kwabonakala kugcwele ebusweni bakhe bonke. Kwaba sengathi lo mthandazo uphenduliwe:

GSAM 449.4Ngesikhathi sokushona kwakhe wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha nezinsuku ezimbili. Ukuhlonishwa ayekhonzwa ngakho eBattle Creek kwabonakala ngokuthi okungenani abantu abayizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu amahlanu babekhona emngcwabeni wakhe, mhla ziyi-13 ku-Agasti, futhi walandelwa eya endaweni yakhe yokugcina yokuphumula eMangcwabeni ase-Oak Hill ngumgqeni wezinqola ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nanhlanu kanye nezixuku zabantu abahamba ngezinyawo.

GSAM 450.1Ezifakazelweni eziningi ezinikezwe ngemva kokushona kwakhe, futhi ezashicilelwa ku-Review, sithatha okulandelayo okubhalwe nguMfundisi S. N. Haskell:—

GSAM 450.2“Uma ngicabanga ngokwahlulela kwakhe okuqinile cishe kuzo zonke izimo eziphuthumayo, ububele benhliziyo nobuqhawe bomoya abaveza kulabo abaphambukayo, ngisho nalabo abamhlukumezile, noma nini lapho ebona ubufakazi bokuzisola kwabo, nothando lwakhe ngalokho akukholelwa ukuthi kulungile, ngingasho ngempela, Ubaba kwa-Israyeli uwile. Futhi ngenkathi ephumule, umsebenzi, kanye nabantu abaningi, bazokuzwa ukushoda kokubona kwakhe okungaphambili nokunakekela kwakhe kobuzali.”

GSAM 450.3Lapho efile, izitha zethu zathi umyalezo manje kumele ume. Akunjalo; lezo zinhlangano ezazisungulwe nguye ngaphansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu zazihloselwe ukukhula zibe nkulu nakakhulu, zibe “njengezihlahla ezitshalwe nguJehova,” lapho kuzovela khona izigatsha eziningi nezinezithelo.

GSAM 450Imithetho Yenkolo Ebikezelwe

GSAM 450.4Sekudlule iminyaka engamashumi amahlanu nesishiyagalombili selokhu labo ababeyisa umyalezo wengelosi yesithathu bathi isikhathi sizofika, ngokwesiprofetho seSambulo 13, lapho abantu bezobhekana nokuhlukunyezwa, e-United States nakwezinye izindawo, ngenxa yokugcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu. Encwadini ebhalwe nguNkk. White, enesihloko esithi, Early Writings, sifunda okulandelayo mayelana nalokhu kufundiswa:—

GSAM 450.5“Ingelosi yathi, ‘Bhekani!’ Ingqondo yami yagxila kubabi, noma kwabangakholwa. Bonke babephithizela. Ukulangazelela namandla abantu bakaNkulunkulu kwakubacasule futhi kwakubathukuthelisile. Kwakukhona ukudideka, ukudideka kuzo zonke izindawo. Ngabona izinyathelo ezithathwe ngokumelene neqembu elalinokukhanya namandla kaNkulunkulu. Ubumnyama baba bukhulu kakhulu ngakubo; kodwa bema baqinile, bemukelwa nguNkulunkulu, bethembele kuye. Ngababona bedidekile; kamuva ngabazwa bekhala kuNkulunkulu ngokuzimisela. Umkhuleko wabo wawungapheli, wawungapheli ebusuku nasemini: ‘Intando yakho, Nkulunkulu, mayenziwe! Uma lokhu kungakhazimulisa igama lakho, yenza indlela yokuphunyuka yabantu bakho! Sisindise ezizweni ezisizungezile. Basibekele ukufa; kodwa ingalo yakho ingaletha insindiso.’”²

GSAM 451.1“Kwathi emva kwalokho ngabona amadoda ayesezikhundleni zokuhola emhlabeni ehlangana ndawonye, kanti noSathane kanye nezingelosi zakhe bematasatasa bebazungezile. Ngabona umbhalo, amakhophi wawo asakazeke ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zomhlaba, unikeza imiyalelo yokuthi ngaphandle kokuthi abangcwele bavume ukuyeka ukholo lwabo olukhethekile, bayeke iSabatha, futhi bagcine usuku lokuqala lweviki, abantu babe nenkululeko, ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, ukubabulala.”³

GSAM 451Ukuhlukunyezwa eMelika

GSAM 451.2Abaphikisi bethu bathi ukuhlukunyezwa ngeke kufike kuleli, ngoba uMthethosisekelo wase-United States uthi “iCongress ngeke yenze mthetho ophathelene nokusungulwa kwenkolo, noma ukuvimba ukwenziwa kwayo ngokukhululekile.” Futhi, ngaphezu kwalokhu, “uMqulu Wamalungelo” wezifundazwe eziningi uvimbela imithetho yenkolo. Naphezu kwalezi zimangalo, abantu bethu baqhubekile nokumemezela umyalezo wokuxwayisa nokulungiselela okudingekayo ukuze babhekane nengxabano.

GSAM 451.3Ngo-1863 kwasungulwa inhlangano enenjongo yokuguqula uMthethosisekelo wase-United States nemithetho yelizwe, ukuze kusebenze ekuphoqeleleni inkolo. Le mibono ithole abalandeli ngokushesha okukhulu kangaka, futhi umgomo wokuphoqa abantu benze okulungile, ikakhulukazi maqondana nokugcina uSonto, wathola indawo enkulu, kangangokuba ukuhlukunyezwa ngempela sekuqalile ezifundazweni eziningi, ngisho nakulezo lapho imithetho yazo yeSonto inikeza izindlela kulabo abagcina olunye usuku ngokukanembeza, futhi abantu bavalelwe ejele ngenxa yokungagcini uSonto.

GSAM 452Ukuboshwa Okuyikhulu Neshumi Nesithupha

GSAM 452.1Phambi kwami kunohlu lokuboshwa kwabantu abayikhulu neshumi nesithupha kwama-Adventist oSuku Lwesikhombisa eMelika, kusukela ngonyaka ka-1878 kuya kuMashi 1896. Kulabo, abayikhulu nesishiyagalolunye bagwetshwa. Iningi labo seliboshwe izinsuku ezingamashumi amabili kuya kwezingu-60, kanti cishe abayishumi nambili baphoqelelwa ukusebenza “eqenjini lababoshwe ngamaketanga” nababulali, amasela, kanye nezigebengu ezimbi kakhulu. Kuzo zonke izimo, labo abababeka isigwebo bavuma ukuthi bangabantu abahle kakhulu emphakathini.

GSAM 452I-Religious Liberty Association

GSAM 452.2NgoJulayi 21, 1889, kwakhiwa eBattle Creek, eMichigan, inhlangano ebizwa ngeNational Religious Liberty Association, inhloso yayo kwakuwukuphikisa imithetho yenkolo, ukusabalalisa ulwazi kubantu abaningi mayelana nobudlelwano beqiniso phakathi kwenkolo nohulumeni, nokunikeza usizo kulabo abahlukunyezwayo ngenxa kanembeza wabo. Le nhlangano yenza umsebenzi omkhulu ekusabalaliseni izincwadi, nasekukhanyiseni abantu mayelana nezibopho nezingozi zaleso sikhathi ezweni lethu. Eqinisweni, lenze umsebenzi omkhulu ekwandiseni izixwayiso eziku-IsAmbulo 14:9-12.

GSAM 452Usizo Lwamaphephandaba Angewona Awenkolo

GSAM 452.3Ukuhlukunyezwa okwakubhekiswe kuma-Adventist oSuku Lwesikhombisa ngaleso sikhathi kwabhalwa ezihlokweni zokuhlela zamaphephandaba afana neNew York Sun, iNew York World, iChicago Inter Ocean, njll. Kwavela izihloko ezikhuluma ngokukhululekile mayelana nendlela engalungile eyayithathwe ngokumelene nomuntu wase-United States ngenxa yokulalela unembeza wakhe nokugcina usuku olwalubekwe emyalweni. Ngezihloko zephephandaba ezinjalo, lolu daba lwafinyelela ezigidini zabafundi. Phakathi nenyanga eyodwa, iqiniso eliyinhloko lomyalezo wengelosi yesithathu lafika ezingqondweni zabantu abaningi kunalabo esasikwazile ukubafinyelela eminyakeni engaphezu kwamashumi amabili.

GSAM 453Intukuthelo Yomuntu Eyenzelwe Ukudumisa iNkosi

GSAM 453.1Ngakho-ke kubonakala ukuthi imizamo yabantu yokumisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, nokuthola imithetho yokusekela iSabatha eliphikisanayo nalelo eliyalelwe emyalweni wesine, isize ukuvula indlela yokuthuthuka okusheshayo kweqiniso.

GSAM 453.2Uma ngicabanga ngalokho okwenziwe ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngalezi zindlela, izindima ezimbili zemiBhalo engcwele zivele engqondweni ngamandla. Eyokuqala ithi, “Asikwazi ukwenza lutho olungaphikisana neqiniso, kodwa siyakusekela iqiniso;”⁴ kanti eyesibili ithi, “Impela intukuthelo yabantu izokudumisa; intsalela yentukuthelo uyoyinqanda.”⁵

GSAM 453Isiprofetho Ngemithetho YeSonto

GSAM 453.3Ku-Testimony No. 32, elashicilelwa ngo-1885, kunesitatimende mayelana nokuthi imithetho yeSonto izodlula kanjani e-United States. Sifundeka kanje: “Ukuze bathole ukuthandwa nokuxhaswa, abenzi bomthetho bazovuma isicelo somthetho wangeSonto.”⁶ Sizocabanga okwesikhashana ukuthi lokhu sekufeziwe kanjani.

GSAM 453Umthetho We-World's Fair

GSAM 453.4Ngo-1892 kwenziwa isicelo eCongress sokuvimbela ukuvulwa kweWorld's Fair eyayizobanjelwa eChicago, e-Illinois, kusukela ngoMeyi kuya ku-Okthoba ngalowo nyaka, ukuthi ingavulwa ngeSonto. Umthetho onjalo wamukelwa ngomhlaka 19 Julayi 1892, ngaphansi kwengcindezi efanayo naleyo eyayibikezelwe ngenhla. Futhi makukhunjulwe ukuthi lokhu kube yisikhathi sokuqala iCongress yase-United States yaseNyakatho Melika ukwenza umthetho mayelana nombuzo weSabatha.

GSAM 453.5Amabandla athumela izinhlu ezinkulu zamagama nezicelo, kanye namatelegramu, hhayi nje ukucela iCongress, kodwa futhi ngobungane (?) ewazisa amalungu eCongress “okuthi ngalokhu sizibophezela thina siqu nomunye nomunye, ukuthi kusukela manje kuqhubeke, sizonqaba ukuvota noma ukusekela nganoma yisiphi isikhundla noma isikhundla sokwethenjwa, noma yiliphi ilungu leCongress, noma ngabe ungusosena noma ummeleli, ozovota nganoma yiluphi olunye usizo lwanoma yiluphi uhlobo lweWorld's Fair ngaphandle kwemibandela ekhulunywe ngayo kulezi zinqumo.” Imiqathango yayingukuthi i-Fair ivale ngeSonto.

GSAM 454Izinkulumo eCongress, 1892

GSAM 454.1Njengesibonelo sendlela yokukhuluma eCongress, lapho umthethosivivinywa wawudlula, funda okulandelayo:

GSAM 454.1“Bengingathanda ukubona lesi simemezelo sibhalwe ngokumhlophe nangokumnyama, siphakanyiswe yiCongress yase-United States. Sibhale. Ungasibhala kanjani? ... Sisho ngamazwi, uma unamandla; sikhuthaze, uma unamandla; bangaki abavotele lesi simemezelo abazobuya lapha futhi? Ngethemba ukuthi akekho. Nizibeka engcupheni ngokusiphikisa.”

GSAM 454Ukuzigqaja Okwenziwe Yibandla

GSAM 454.2Labo abacele futhi abaqinisekise eCongress ukudluliswa kwalo mthetho bawubheka njengokunqoba okubalulekile ohlelweni lwabo lokumisa imithetho yenkolo, kuyabonakala ngokucacile ngoba omunye walaba minisita abadumile, entshumayelweni ePittsburg, ePennsylvania, ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, wathi:—

GSAM 454.3“Ukuthi ibandla linethonya ezinhlanganweni ezinkulu zezepolitiki noma eziphethe kulokhu sekufakazelwe ngempumelelo enkulu endabeni ye-World's Fair yakamuva, lapho iSenethi yase-United States, inhlangano ephakeme kunazo zonke ezweni, ilalela izwi lenkolo, yagunyaza umthetho wokusetshenziswa kwezimali ze-World's Fair ezingu-$5,000,000 ngesibopho esabekwa yibandla sokuthi iminyango yombukiso omkhulu ingavulwa ngeSonto. Lelo qiniso elikhulu nelihle liphakamisa engqondweni yomKristu ukuthi uma lokhu kungenziwa, nezinye izinyathelo ezifanayo ezibalulekile nazo zingafezeka. Ibandla liyaqhubeka lithola amandla, futhi izwi lalo lizozwakala esikhathini esizayo kaningi kakhulu kunangaphambili.”

GSAM 454.3Ngakho-ke sibona ukuthi lobu bufakazi obunikezwe ngo-1885 buye bwagcwaliseka futhi busaqhubeka bugcwaliseka.

GSAM 455Ubumbano bamaKatolika namaProthestani

GSAM 455.1Kulesi sihloko sizobhekisela kwesinye isiprofetho esenziwa ngo-1885, futhi etholakala ku-Testimony No. 32:—

GSAM 455.2“Lapho ubuProthestani buzolula isandla sabo ngaphezu komgodi ukuze bubambe isandla samandla aseRoma; lapho buzoletha ngaphezu komgodi omkhulu ukuze bubambane nezandla nokusebenzelana nemimoya yabafileyo; lapho, ngaphansi komthelela walobu bumbano obuthathu, izwe lethu lizolahla zonke izimiso zoMthethosisekelo waso njengombuso wamaProthestani nowurepabliki, futhi lizohlela ukusabalalisa amanga nezinkohliso zikaPapa, khona-ke singazi ukuthi sekufikile isikhathi somsebenzi omangalisayo kaSathane, nokuthi ukuphela sekuseduze.”⁷

GSAM 455.3Ukuze sibonise ukuthi ingxenye yokuqala yalesi siprofetho isiqalile ukugcwaliseka, sidinga nje ukubhekisisa lokho okwenzekayo ezindaweni ezizungezile. Bheka amaProthestani, abashumayeli nabantu, befuna ukuthandwa ngamaKatolika, bewamenyela ukuba bahlanganyele ezinhlanganweni zabo, njll. Makukhunjulwe ukuthi cishe akukho noma yini encane yalokho okubonakala manje kule ndaba eyayibonakala ngo-1885, lapho ubufakazi obungaphezulu bunikezwa khona.

GSAM 455.4Ukuze kubonakale ukuthi amaProthestani afuna kanjani isandla nosizo lwamaKatolika, ngicaphuna okushicilelwe ku-Kansas City (Mo.) Star ngomhlaka 18 Mashi 1896.

GSAM 455AmaMethodist nosuku lukaSt. Patrick

GSAM 455.5Inkulumo yethulwa eCoates Opera House, eKansas City, eMo., ngosuku lukaSt. Patrick, mhlaka 17 Mashi 1896, nguDkt. Mitchell, umfundisi webandla elihamba phambili lamaMethodist eKansas City. I-Star ibiza ingxenye yale nkulumo ngokuthi “isigcawu esincane esimangalisayo.” UDkt. Mitchell washayelwa izandla kakhulu lapho ethi lokhu:—

GSAM 455.6“Ukucwasa kungumntwana wokungazi. Siyacwasa ngoba asibazi kahle omakhelwane bethu. Thina amaProthestani sifundiswe ukukholelwa ezintweni ezingachazeki ngamaKatolika. AmaKatolika afundiswe ukukholelwa ezintweni ezingachazeki ngamaProthestani. Manje sithola imibono yethu engalungile ngomunye nomunye lapho sisondela ngokwanele ukubheka emehlweni nokubambana ngezandla; uma nje sasazana kangcono, sasizothandana kangcono. Sibe sihlukene futhi sagxeka. Kuyahlazo kubalandeli bakaKristu obusisiwe. Bonke amaKristu bakhululwe ngegazi elifanayo eliyigugu; sisekelwa ngomusa ofanayo kaNkulunkulu, futhi silindele ukufinyelela ezulwini elifanayo. Bathandekayo, masazane kangcono lapha phansi.”

GSAM 456.1I-Star iyaqhubeka:—

GSAM 456.2“UDkt. Mitchell wabe esethandukela kuBaba Dalton [umpristi wamaKatolika] owayehlezi ngemuva kwakhe, wamnika isandla sakhe wathi, ‘Nansi, Mfowethu Dalton, isandla sami.’ UBaba Dalton wavuka wabamba isandla eseluliwe, kwathi lapho uDkt. Mitchell esixhawula, wathi, ‘Kuyoba yihlazo elikhulu uma, ngemva kokuphila isikhathi eside edolobheni elifanayo emhlabeni, kwakumele sithole ingelosi ukuthi isethule komunye nomunye ezulwini. Masazane lapha emhlabeni.’ Izethameli zamemeza ngenjabulo, kwathi lapho uBaba Dalton esehlezi phansi, uDkt. Mitchell waqhubeka nenkulumo yakhe.”

GSAM 456Okuthile Okukhulu Nokunqumayo

GSAM 456.3Sithatha amazwi komunye umbiko, oshicilelwe eMelbourne, e-Australia, mhla ziyi-18 kuFebhuwari 1892:

GSAM 456.3“Lonke izulu liboniswa kimi njengokubuka ukusethulwa kwezehlakalo. Isimo esiphuthumayo sizovezwa empikiswaneni enkulu neyinde ekubuseni kukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni. Okuthile okukhulu nokunqumayo kuzokwenzeka, futhi maduze nje.”

GSAM 456“Isizwe SobuKristu” sikaJaji Brewer

GSAM 456.4Ezinsukwini eziyishumi nanye ngemuva kokubhalwa kwalo mbhalo, futhi ngaphambi kokufika kwawo e-United States, kwenzeka isigameko amaProthestani namaKatolika abasibiza ngokuthi sinqume ikusasa leli zwe. Ngibhekisela esinqumweni seNkantolo ePhakeme yase-United States, esithi “Leli yizwe lamaKristu,” esakhishwa ngomhla ka-29 kuFebhuwari yiJaji leNkantolo ePhakeme uBrewer. Njengoba sekubonisiwe, ngomhlaka 19 kuJulayi ngonyaka ofanayo kwagunyazwa uMthetho Wokuvala NgoSonto we-World's Fair. Abashumayeli ababemele ngamandla ukuwudlulisela benza izicelo ezinamandla ngesisekelo sokuthi njengoba iNkantolo ePhakeme yamemezela ukuthi leli lizwe liyizwe lamaKristu, ngokwemvelo iSabatha yamaKristu kufanele ivikelwe ekungcolisweni. Futhi kanjalo iqembu leNational Reform laqonda. Njengoba leli liyizwe lamaKristu, kufanele limukele uNkulunkulu nemithetho yakhe njengesisekelo sikahulumeni, njll. Empeleni kwenzeka okuthile okukhulu nokunqumayo kule mpikiswano yokugcina, “futhi maduze nje.”

GSAM 457Abaprofethi Basendulo

GSAM 457.1Mayelana nemibono enikezwe izinceku zikaNkulunkulu, abaprofethi, kwakubonakala kunezinhlobo ezimbili—olunye olubizwa ngokuthi “imibono evulekile,” noma leyo enikezwa lapho umuntu engabonakala khona esembonweni; kanti olunye olubizwa ngokuthi “imibono yasebusuku.” Kubhekiselwa emibonweni yokuqala ku-1 Samuweli 3:1, lapho kutholakala khona okuhlangenwe nakho komntwana uSamuweli ngala mazwi: “Izwi likaJehova laliyigugu ngalabo bamazisi; kwakungekho mbono ovulekile.”

GSAM 457Imibono Evulekile

GSAM 457.2Kwaba nombono onjalo (umbono ovulekile) lapho isandla seNkosi sasiphezu komprofethi Hezekeli. Njengoba abasekhulile bakaJuda behlezi phambi kwakhe, bamubona embonweni ovulekile.⁸ Ngomunye umcimbi umprofethi uDaniyeli wathathwa embonweni phakathi kwababusi bamaKhaledi. Ukube bahlala, babengambona embonweni, kodwa esikhundleni salokho “kwehla kubo ukuzamazama okukhulu, baphunyuka bezifihla.”⁹

GSAM 457Imibono Yobusuku kaNkk. White

GSAM 457.3Imibono yokuqala kaNkk. White yayimibono evulekile yonke. Kusukela ngo-1884, ubunjalo bemibono buye bwashintsha ngalokhu, njengoba manje ibizwa eMibhalweni Engcwele ngokuthi “imibono yasebusuku,” hhayi amaphupho nje, kodwa ingelosi ekhanyayo efanayo iyavela, imnika imiyalelo, njengaseminyakeni eyedlule emibonweni evulekile. Izibonelo eziningi zemibono “yasebusuku” zibhalwe eBhayibhelini, njengoba kubonakala kalula uma ufunda uGenesise 46:2; Daniyeli 2:19; 7:13; Izenzo 16:9; 18:9; 23:11; 27:23-25.

GSAM 458.1Kule mibono yasebusuku kaNkk. White kwenziwe iziprofetho eziningi ezibalulekile, ezifezekile ngokunembile kakhulu, njengoba sekushiwo ngaphambilini. Manje ngizobheka eminye yemibono yakamuva.

GSAM 458Ukuthuthelwa eWashington

GSAM 458.2Ngo-1893, uNkk. White wathi:

GSAM 458.2“Kugcwele kakhulu izikhungo eziningi eziqoqeke eBattle Creek. Ukube lezo zintshisekelo zazihlukaniswe futhi zafakwa kwamanye amadolobha, lapho ukukhanya nolwazi kungabusisa khona ezinye izindawo, bekungaba ngokohlelo lukaNkulunkulu. INkosi ayifuni iJerusalema yesibili eBattle Creek. Kuzodingeka kube nokuzivumelanisa kabusha okuqinile nokuguqulwa kanye nokudluliselwa kwezinsiza nezikhungo uma intando kaNkulunkulu izogcwaliseka.”

GSAM 458.3Engqungqutheleni Jikelele e-Oakland, eCalifornia, ngoMashi 1903, wathi:

GSAM 458.3“Iminyaka eminingi isixwayiso besinikezwa kubantu bethu, Phumani eBattle Creek. Kodwa ngenxa yemisebenzi nezikhungo eziningi ezazisungulwe lapho, kwakulula ukuhlala, futhi abantu babengaboni ukuthi kungani bekufanele bathuthele.”

GSAM 458.4“Njengempendulo embuzweni obuzwe mayelana nokuzinza kwenye indawo, ngiphendula ngithi, Yebo. Amehhovisi eNgqungquthela Jikelele nomsebenzi wokushicilela makususwe eBattle Creek. Angazi ukuthi indawo izoba kuphi, noma ngabe ogwini lwe-Atlantic noma kwenye indawo. Kodwa lokhu ngizokusho, Ningabeki itshe noma isitini eBattle Creek ukuze nikwakhe kabusha ihhovisi le-Review lapho. UNkulunkulu unendawo engcono kakhulu yalo.”

GSAM 458.5Ngemva kokuzwa lo myalelo, ingqungquthela yabakholwayo yavota “ukuthi amahhovisi eNgqungquthela Jikelele asuswe eBattle Creek, eMichigan, aye kwenye indawo ogwini lwe-Atlantic.”

GSAM 459.1Emhlanganweni weKhonsili yeNgqungquthela Jikelele owabanjelwa eBattle Creek, kulandela iseshini yeNgqungquthela Jikelele, kwavotwa ukuthi “sisekela ukubeka ihhovisi eliyinhloko leNgqungquthela Jikelele eduze kwedolobha laseNew York.” Ngakho-ke kwakhethwa ikomidi elikhulu lokucinga indawo efanelekayo. Ikomidi lalidlulisela uNkk. White uhlelo lalo, labuza ukuthi ingabe unokukhanya okwengeziwe okungabanikeza yini. Ephendula wathi:—

GSAM 459.2“INkosi mayisisize ukuthi sithathe izinyathelo ngokuqonda nangokuthandaza. Ngiyazi ukuthi uyafuna ukuthi sazi, futhi kusenesikhathi, ukuthi sifake kuphi indlu yethu yokushicilela. Ngiyavuma ukuthi indlela yethu ephephile kuphela wukuba silungele ukuthuthela ngesikhathi ifu lihamba. Masithandaze ukuthi asiqondise. Ubonakalisile ngokuphathwa kwakhe ukuthi ufuna sishiye iBattle Creek....

GSAM 459.3“Kudingeka kusetshenzwe eNew York, kodwa ukuthi indlu yethu yokushicilela kufanele isungulwe lapho angikwazi ukusho. Angibheki ukukhanya engikutholile njengokwanele ukuze ngisekele lesi sinyathelo.”

GSAM 459.4Ngemva kokuchitha cishe amasonto amabili befuna indawo eNew York City nasemadolobheni azungezile, ikomidi lahluleka ukuthola indawo efanele yendlu yokushicilela. Ngalesi sikhathi kwafika incwadi, ebhalwe mhla zingama-30 kuMeyi, lapho uNkk. White athi:—

GSAM 459.5“Njengoba abafowethu befuna indawo yokushicilela i-Review and Herald, kumele bafune iNkosi ngokuzimisela. Kumele bahambe ngokucophelela okukhulu, ukuqapha, nomthandazo, nangokuzazi njalo ubuthakathaka babo. Akufanele sithembele ekwahluleni kwabantu. Kumele sifune ukuhlakanipha uNkulunkulu akunikeza....

GSAM 459.6“Mayelana nokusungula lesi sikhungo eNew York, kumele ngithi, Qaphelani. Angisekeli ukuthi sibe seduze neNew York. Angikwazi manje ukunikeza zonke izizathu zami, kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi noma iyiphi indawo eqhele ngaphansi kwamamayela angamashumi amathathu kulelo dolobha izoba seduze kakhulu. Hlola izindawo ezizungezile kwezinye izindawo. Ngiyazi ukuthi izinzuzo zaseWashington, D.C., kumele ziphenywe ngokucophelela.

GSAM 460.1“Akufanele sisungule lesi sikhungo edolobheni noma emaphethelweni edolobha. Kufanele sisungulwe esifundeni sasemakhaya, lapho singazungezwa yizwe.”

GSAM 460Isiprofetho sesiphakamiso esihle

GSAM 460.2Ngale mininingwane ikomidi laqala ngokuthandaza ukubheka izindawo eWashington, kwathi-ke kwafika incwadi yesithathu equkethe lo myalelo:

GSAM 460.2“Besiyakhuleka ukufuna ukukhanya mayelana nendawo yomsebenzi wethu eMpumalanga, futhi ukukhanya sekufikile kithi ngendlela ecacile kakhulu. Ngithole ukukhanya okuqinile kokuthi kuzonikelwa kithi ukuthenga izindawo lapho kusetshenziswe khona imali eningi ngabantu ababenemali abayisebenzisa ngokukhululekile. Abanikazi balezi zindlu zobukhosi bafa, noma ukunaka kwabo kudonswa kwenye into, futhi impahla iyethulwa ukuthengiswa ngentengo ephansi kakhulu....

GSAM 460.3“Ngokukhanya engikunikwe, ngiyazi ukuthi okwamanje ihhovisi elikhulu le-Review and Herald kufanele libe eduze kweWashington.”

GSAM 460Indawo Ebikezelwe Yatholakala

GSAM 460.4Ngale ncwadi esandleni, ikomidi laqala ukufuna indawo esifundeni saseColumbia, kodwa kwakungatholakali mhlaba ongaphansi kuka-$1,000 nge-acre. Ekugcineni, ukunaka kwabo kwaphendukela eTakoma Park. Okulandelayo ngumbiko wekomidi:—

GSAM 460.5“Sithole ingxenye yomhlaba ecishe ibe ngama-acre angamashumi amahlanu ngaphandle kweSifunda, kodwa ngaphakathi kwemingcele yedolobha laseTakoma Park, esingayithenga ngamadola ayinkulungwane eziyisithupha, noma ngenani lika-$120 nge-acre. Le ndawo yahlolwa ngokucophelela. Sithole ukuthi eminyakeni embalwa edlule yayikhethwe ngudokotela waseBoston njengendawo yesanitharium. Kuthiwa uchithe cishe amadola ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisithupha ekuthengeni nasekusuleni yonke ingxube yezihlahla ezincane, izingodo, nodoti. Ubunzima bezimali bamvimbe ekufezeni izinhlelo zakhe, kwathi ingxenye yomhlaba yadlulela ezandleni zendoda eyayibambe imortgage kuyo, ngentengo yakhe yamadola ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nanhlanu.

GSAM 461.1“Izakhamuzi zaseTakoma Park, ezimelwe ngumongameli kamasipala nabanye abaholi abakhulu, basamukela ngenhliziyo yonke kule ndawo, futhi basinikeza iziqinisekiso zokubambisana ngobungane ekufezeni izinhlelo zethu.

GSAM 461.2“Kuzo zonke izihambo zethu nokusesha kwethu, asizange sithole enye indawo egcwalisa ngokuphelele izimfuneko zobufakazi njengale. Sikholelwa ukuthi umusa kaNkulunkulu usiholele endaweni ayefuna sihlale kuyo.”

GSAM 461.3Njengoba sibona ukugcwaliseka okuningi kwezifakazelo okwethulwe kulesi sahluko nasezahlukweni ezedlule, “masikholwe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu, ukuze siqiniswe; futhi sikholwe umprofethi wakhe, ukuze siphumelele,” ukuze silungele izenzakalo ezisazokwenzeka esikhathini esizayo, futhi singathathwa ngazo singalindele.
