Isahluko 3 — Ukuza KweMbewu Eyithembisiwe

GSAM 57.1“LAPHO sekufikile ukugcwaliseka kwesikhathi, uNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana yakhe, ... eyazalwa ngaphansi komthetho, ukuze ithenge labo ababengaphansi komthetho, ukuze sithole ukuba izingane.”¹

GSAM 57.2“Manje kuye onamandla okukuqinisa ngokwevangeli lami nangokushumayela kukaJesu Kristu, ngokwembulwa kwemfihlakalo eyayigcinwe iyimfihlo kusukela ekuqaleni kwezwe, kodwa manje isiveziwe, futhi ngokwemiBhalo yabaprofethi, ngokomyalelo kaNkulunkulu ongunaphakade, yaveziwe kuzo zonke izizwe ukuze kube khona ukulalela kokholo: kuNkulunkulu oyedwa onokuhlakanipha, kube nodumo ngoJesu Kristu unaphakade.”²

GSAM 57.3“Ngokwembulwa wangazisa kimi imfihlakalo; njengoba ngibhale ngaphambilini ngamazwi ambalwa, ... engakaze yaziwe ezizukulwaneni zangaphambilini ezinganeni zabantu, njengoba manje isembulwe kubapostola bakhe abangcwele nabaprofethi ngomoya.... Kimina, ongaphansi kunabo bonke abangcwele, kunikezwe lo musa, ukuthi ngishumayele phakathi kwamaZizwe ingcebo kaKristu engachazeki; nokwenza bonke abantu babone ukuthi ubudlelwano bemfihlakalo bungukuthini, eyayifihlwe kuNkulunkulu kusukela ekuqaleni kwezikhathi zonke, owadala zonke izinto ngoJesu Kristu.”³

GSAM 57.4Kuthiwa eTestamenteni Elidala ivangeli lifihlakele; eTestamenteni Elisha livela obala. Njengoba kwashiwo ngomunye, “Njengoba behamba kude noNkulunkulu, amaJuda ngokweqile alahlekelwa ukubona izifundo zenkonzo yomkhuba. Le nkonzo yayisungulwe nguKristu uqobo. Yonke ingxenye yayo yayingumfanekiso wakhe; futhi yayigcwele amandla nokubukeka kokomoya. Kodwa amaJuda alahlekelwa yimpilo yokomoya emikhubeni yabo, abambelela ezindleleni zangaphandle ezifile. Bathembela ezihlatshelweni nasemithethweni uqobo, esikhundleni sokuphumula kuye ababebhekisa kuye.

GSAM 58Ukufuna Umbuso Wasemhlabeni

GSAM 58.1“Ngenkathi amaJuda efisa ukuza kukaMesiya, babengenalo ukuqonda ngomsebenzi wakhe. Babengafuni ukusindiswa esonweni, kodwa ukukhululwa kumaRoma. Babebheke ukuthi uMesiya aze njengomnqobi, ukuze aphule amandla omcindezelayo, futhi aphakamise u-Israyeli abe ngumbusi womhlaba wonke. Ngakho-ke indlela yalungiselelwa bona ukuba benqabe uMsindisi.

GSAM 58.2“Abantu, ekumnyameni nasekucindezelweni kwabo, kanye nababusi, ababesesha amandla, babefisa ukufika komuntu ozonqoba izitha zabo futhi abuyisele umbuso kwa-Israyeli. Babefunde iziprofetho, kodwa bengenaso ukuqonda okungokomoya. Ngakho-ke baphoswa yimiBhalo ekhomba ukuhlazeka kokufika kokuqala kukaKristu, futhi basebenzisa kabi leyo ekhuluma ngodumo lokufika kwakhe kwesibili. Ukuzigqaja kwavimba ukubona kwabo; bachaza iziprofetho ngokuhambisana nezifiso zabo zokuzicabangela.

GSAM 58.3“Ngaphezu kweminyaka eyinkulungwane, abantu bamaJuda babemelele ukufika koMsindisi. Kulesi sigameko babebeke ithemba labo elikhanyayo. Emaculweni nasekubikezelweni, emikhosini yethempeli nasemithandazweni yasekhaya, bagcina igama lakhe. Kodwa-ke lapho efika, abamazi. Othandekayo wasezulwini wayebonakala kubo ‘njengesisekelo esiphuma emhlabathini owomile;’ ‘wayengenamumo noma ubuhle;’ futhi ababoni kuye ubuhle ababengabufisa. ‘Wafika kwabakubo, kodwa abakubo abamamukelanga.’”⁴

GSAM 58Ngobuzalo bukaDavide

GSAM 58.4Lapho isikhathi esabikezelwa nguDaniyeli sasiseduze, lapho “uMesiya iNkosi”—oGcotshiweyo—wayezovela, abantu bamaJuda babeyokwazi ukucabanga, futhi ngokungangabazeki bakwenza kanjalo, ngale ndlela: UMesiya ngokwenyama kumele abe owendlu nobuzalo bukaDavide, ngakho-ke ukuzalwa kwakhe kumele kube kulobo buzalo; futhi ngokwemithetho nemikhuba yamaJuda, kumele athanjiswe ukuze asebenze esidlangalaleni eneminyaka engamashumi amathathu; futhi uma ezovela njengothanjisiwe ngalowo mnyaka, khona-ke ukuzalwa kwakhe kumele kube eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu ngaphambi kokuphela kwamaviki angamashumi ayisithupha nesishiyagalolunye eminyakeni, azoqhubeka kuze kufike uMesiya.

GSAM 59Izibikezelo zikaSimeyoni no-Ana

GSAM 59.1Ngalesi sikhathi wonke u-Israyeli wayelindile. Abafundi abazimisele, abazinikele eMibhalweni Engcwele babebheke ukuzalwa komuntu owayezoba uMbusi noMqondisi wabo. KuSimeyoni osekhulile futhi onenhlonipho kwavezwa “ngoMoya oNgcwele ukuthi akasoze abone ukufa ngaphambi kokuba abone uKristu weNkosi.”⁵

GSAM 59.2Lapho uMsindisi osemncane elethwa ethempelini, uSimeyoni wazi ukuthi lo mntwana wayenguye okukhulunywa ngaye—uKristu. “Wabe esemthatha ezingalweni zakhe, wabusisa uNkulunkulu, wathi, Nkosi, manje uvumela isicakeni sakho ukuba sihambe ngoxolo, ngokwamazwi akho; ngokuba amehlo ami abone insindiso yakho, oyilungiselele ebusweni babo bonke abantu: ukukhanya ukuze kukhanyise izizwe, kube yinkazimulo yabantu bakho u-Israyeli....

GSAM 59.3“USimeyoni wabasibusisa [uJosefa noMariya], wathi kuMariya unina, Bheka, lo mntwana ubekelwe ukuwa nokuvuka kabusha kwabaningi e-Israyeli; nokuba yisibonakaliso esizophikiswa ngaso (yebo, inkemba izodlula nemphefumulo wakho uqobo), ukuze imicabango yenhliziyo zabaningi ivezeke.

GSAM 59.4“Kwabe sekukhona u-Ana, umprofethi wesifazane, indodakazi kaPhanu-eli, wesizwe sase-Aser.... Futhi yena efika ngalowo mzuzu waphinde wabonga iNkosi, watshela bonke ababemelele ukukhululwa eJerusalema ngaye.”⁶

GSAM 59Izingelosi Zivakashela Abalusi

GSAM 59.5Ngaphambi kwalokhu, izingelosi zazimemezele izindaba ezinhle zokuzalwa koMsindisi kubalusi ezindaweni ezivulekile zaseBethlehem. Ezindlebeni ezilalele zabalusi, izingelosi zacula lezi zingoma ezimnandi:—

GSAM 60Abantu Abahlakaniphile Bavakashela eBethlehem

GSAM 60.2Kwabe sekuza izazi zaseMpumalanga ezazibone “inkanyezi ivuka,” njengoba kwakubikezelwe nguBalaam. Belandela ukuqondisa kwayo bafika eJerusalema, lapho kwadingeka khona ukuthi bafune iNkosi esanda kuzalwa. Lapho sebeqondiswe ukuthi iBethlehem yayizoba yindawo yokuzalwa yalowo Olindelwe, baqhubeka nohambo lwabo; futhi beholwa yinkanyezi eyavela futhi, bafika endaweni elula lapho uMsindisi ayelele khona. Lapha bakhonza lo Mntwana oNgcwele, bemnike izipho zegolide, impepho, nemure, base bahamba indlela ende bebuyela ekhaya.

GSAM 60UMsindisi eneminyaka eyishumi nambili ubudala

GSAM 60.3Ukusukela ebuncaneni bakhe kuze kube eneminyaka eyishumi nambili, akubhalwanga okuningi ngoKristu uMsindisi, ngaphandle kokukhula kwakhe ngokuhlakanipha nangobude, nokuzithoba kwakhe ngokwethembeka kubazali bakhe. Kodwa eneminyaka eyishumi nambili, esehambile noJosefa noMariya waya eJerusalema ukuyohambela umkhosi wonyaka, lapho wamangaza khona abapristi ngolwazi olwabonakala emibuzweni yakhe, nasezimpendulweni azenza ezinkingeni zabo ezinzima. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuze kube esengena emisebenzini yakhe yomphakathi, umsebenzi ophansi wombazi wahlonishwa yena njengoba esebenza noJosefu, umyeni kaMariya.

GSAM 60Umsebenzi kaJohane Umbhapathizi

GSAM 60.4Izinyanga eziyisithupha ngaphambi kwenkonzo yakhe yomphakathi, umsebenzi kaKristu wamemezelwa nguJohane uMbhapathizi. Abantu beza ngezixuku ezinkulu ukuze bezwe uJohane, futhi babhapathizwe nguye. Njengoba “babebalindele [belindele uMesiya ukuthi eze] futhi bonke abantu babezindla [“bezicabangela noma beziphikisana,” emaphethelweni] ezinhliziyweni zabo ngoJohane, ukuthi ingabe unguye uKristu noma cha; UJohane waphendula wathi kubo bonke, Mina ngempela ngiyanibhabhatiza ngamanzi; kodwa uyeza lowo onamandla kunami, engingafanele nokuxazulula umucu wezicathulo zakhe; yena uyakubhabhatiza ngoMoya oNgcwele nangomlilo; onehliko esandleni sakhe, futhi uzohlambulula kahle igceke lakhe, aze aqoqe ingqoloyi endlini yakhe yokugcina; kodwa amakhoba uyowashisa ngomlilo ongasoze wacima.”⁷

GSAM 61UJesu Wabhapathizwa

GSAM 61.1Ngesikhathi uJohane enikeza umkhuba wokubhapathiza, wabona uJesu eza kuye ukuzobhabhatizwa, wathi, “Nanti iWundlu likaNkulunkulu elithatha isono somhlaba.... UJohane wafakaza wathi, Ngambona uMoya wehla usehla ezulwini njengejuba, wahlala phezu kwakhe. Mina ngangingamazi; kodwa lowo ongithumile ukuba ngibabhabhathe ngamanzi wangitshela, Lowo ozombona uMoya wehla besehlala phezu kwakhe, yena nguye ozobhabhatha ngoMoya oNgcwele. Mina ngabona, ngafakaza ukuthi lo uyIndodana kaNkulunkulu.”⁸

GSAM 61Izwi Elisuka Ezulwini

GSAM 61.2Akugcini nje ngokuthi ubuMesiya bukaKristu bafakazelwa ukwehla okubonakalayo koMoya oNgcwele ngesimo somzimba njengejuba, kodwa futhi nangamazwi avela ezulwini. EVangelini likaMathewu sifunda, “uJesu, lapho ebhapathiziwe, wakhuphuka ngokushesha emanzini: khona-ke, nansi izulu lavuleka kuye, wabona uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehla njengesinyoni yesihlahla, wahlala phezu kwakhe: nansi izwi livela ezulwini, lisithi, Lowu uyindodana yami engiyithandayo, engijabule ngayo.”⁹

GSAM 61.3Yize “uJohane engekho owenza isimangaliso,” abantu, lapho bebona amandla amakhulu ahambisana nomsebenzi kaKristu, baphoqeleka ukusho, “Konke uJohane akusho ngalendoda kwakuyiqiniso.”¹⁰

GSAM 61UKristu Ogcobiwe Ngokomthetho

GSAM 61.4Ngokuhambisana nombiko kaLuka ngokubhapathizwa nokugcotshwa okufanayo ngoMoya oNgcwele ngesimo sejuba, sifunda, “uJesu uqobo wayesevele eneminyaka ecishe ibe ngamashumi amathathu.”¹¹

GSAM 62.1Ngemva kokuzila ukudla okude kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane kweNkosi yethu, kanye nezilingo ezinamandla zikaSathane ehlane, ezalandela ngokushesha ukubhapathizwa kwakhe, wabuya eNazareth, lapho ayekhulele khona; futhi njengokuvamile kwakhe, wangena esinagogeni ngosuku lweSabatha, wema ukuze afunde.... Umoya weNkosi uphezu kwami, ngoba ungithambisile ukushumayela ivangeli kwabampofu.... Wabe eseqala ukubatshela, “Namuhla le ndima igcwalisekile ezindlebeni zenu.”¹²

GSAM 62Isikhathi Sesifezekile

GSAM 62.2UMaka, ekubhaleni lesi sigameko esifanayo, uthi, “Isikhathi sesigcwalisekile, nombuso kaNkulunkulu ususeduze: guqukani, nikholwe evangeli.”¹³ Isikhathi esasibikezelwe sokuba oGcotshiweyo avele sasifikile. Ukugcotshwa nguMoya oNgcwele kwenzeka ngesikhathi sokubhapathizwa kwakhe, futhi manje wayeseqala inkonzo yakhe, ngesikhathi nangendlela eyayibikezelwe ngabaprofethi abangcwele basendulo.

GSAM 62Ubufakazi Obubonakalayo Bokuthi uKristu unguMesiya

GSAM 62.3Inkonzo kaKristu yayihambisana nokwenza izimangaliso njalo, ezaziyifakazela abantu, noma bengayiqondi ngokuphelele izifaniso namazwi akhe, ukuthi wayeyi-Immanuel, okusho ukuthi “uNkulunkulu unaye.”¹⁴ Kulezi zimangaliso uKristu wayenikeza umhlaba hhayi nje ubufakazi bamandla kaNkulunkulu kuye, kodwa futhi ukubonakaliswa okusebenzayo kobuntu bukaNkulunkulu nothando lwakhe. Lapho uFilipi, ngemva kweminyaka emithathu yokuhlanganyela okuqhubekayo noKristu, ebona izimangaliso zakhe ezinamandla, wathi, “Nkosi, sikhombise uBaba, futhi kuyosanele,” uJesu wathi kuye, “Ngabe bengikini isikhathi eside kangaka, kodwa awungikazi, Filipi? Ongibonile ubone uBaba; ungathi kanjani-ke, Sibonise uBaba? ... Ngikholelwe ukuthi ngikuBaba, uBaba ukimi; noma ngikholelwe ngenxa yemisebenzi uqobo.”¹⁵

GSAM 63UJohane Edidekile

GSAM 63.1Nakuba ekubhapathizweni kukaKristu, uJohane wayebone ukwehla okubonakalayo koMoya oNgcwele, futhi wezwa izwi elisuka ezulwini limemezela ukuthi uyindodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi yena uqobo wamemezela ukuthi “uyiwundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa isono somhlaba,” izenzakalo zazihamba ngendlela ehlukile kakhulu kulokho ayekulindele kangangokuba yena, ejele lakhe elimnyama, wayekhungathekile futhi edidekile.

GSAM 63.2“Njengabafundi boMsindisi, uJohane uMbhapathizi akazange aqonde imvelo yombuso kaKristu. Walindela ukuthi uJesu athathe isihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavide; futhi njengoba isikhathi sihamba, uMsindisi engazange afune igunya lobukhosi, uJohane waba nodideko futhi ekhathazekile.”¹⁶ “Ebiza ababili babafundi bakhe, [yena] wabathumela kuJesu, ethi, Ingabe unguye okufanele uze? Noma silindele omunye?” “Ngaleso sikhathi [uJesu] waphulukisa abaningi ezifweni zabo nasezishayweni, nasemimoyeni emibi; kwabanye abaningi ababeyizimpumputhe wanika ukubona. Khona-ke uJesu waphendula wathi kubo, Hambani niye, nimtshele uJohane izinto enizibonile nezizwile.”¹⁷

GSAM 63.3Kwakunzima kakhulu kumaJuda noma ngisho kubafundi ukubona ngokusobala amaqiniso amaningi awakhuluma uMsindisi, ngoba babeqinile ekukholweni ukuthi lapho uMesiya efika wayezophula umthwalo wamaRoma, owawubacasula kakhulu, futhi ngokushesha abuyisele umbuso kaDavide, abuse njengenkosi yomhlaba.

GSAM 63.4UJesu waqala ukushumayela wathi, “Guqukani, ngokuba umbuso wezulu ususeduze.”¹⁸ Lapho abaphostoli bakhe abayishumi nambili bethunyelwa phambili, baletha umyalezo ofanayo, “Umbuso wezulu ususeduze.”¹⁹ Kamuva emsebenzini wakhe, lapho abangamashumi ayisikhombisa bethunyelwa phandle, kwakungamazwi athi, “Umbuso kaNkulunkulu ususeduze kini.”²⁰

GSAM 64Abantu Bamangala Ngenxa Yomsebenzi KaKristu

GSAM 64.1Amazwi amangalisayo nezimfundiso zikaKristu aholele abantu ukuthi bathi, “Akukaze kube khona umuntu okhuluma kanje.”²¹ Futhi lapho elapha umuntu ongaboniyo nongakhulumi, “Bonke abantu bamangala, bathi, Ingabe lo akayena indodana kaDavide?”²² noma ngenye indlela, Ingabe lo akayena imbewu kaDavide, uMsindisi othembisiwe? “Lapho efika ezweni lakhe, wafundisa esinagogeni sabo, kwaze kwamangaza bonke, bathi, Uthole kuphi lo muntu lokhu kuhlakanipha nemisebenzi enamandla? Akayena yini indodana yombazi? Akabizwa yini umama wakhe ngoMariya? nabafowabo uJakobe noJosi noSimoni noJuda?”²³

GSAM 64.2Ngonyaka wesithathu wobufundisi bukaKristu, lapho ayekhona ethempelini ehlanganyela umkhosi wokunikezela, amaJuda amzungeza, athi kuye, “Uzosisenza sibe nokungabaza isikhathi esingakanani? Uma unguKristu, sitshele ngokusobala.”²⁴ Ngonyaka odlule, lapho enze isimangaliso esikhulu sokondla abantu abayizinkulungwane ezinhlanu “ngezinkwa eziyisihlanu zebhali nezinhlanzi ezimbili ezincane,” “wabona ukuthi bazofika bamthathe ngenkani bamenze inkosi; [ngakho-ke] waphinde wanyakaza waya entabeni.”²⁵

GSAM 64UKristu Ufundisa Abafundi Ngokufa Kwakhe

GSAM 64.3Ekufundiseni abafundi bakhe, uKristu wenza kube yinto ebalulekile ukususa umqondo wokubusa kwasemhlabeni okuqala ngokushesha, nokubabonisa ukuthi kumele afe aphinde avuke, ahambe aye kude abuye. Ngakho wababuza, “Kuthiwani uma nibona Indodana yomuntu inyukela phezulu lapho ayekhona ngaphambili?”²⁶ Ngemva kokubayala “ukuba bangatsheli muntu ukuthi unguye uJesu uKristu,” sifunda: “Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi uJesu waqala ukubonisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi kumele aye eJerusalema, abhekane nezinsizi eziningi ezivela kubadala, abaholi bepristi nababhali, abulwe, bese evuswa ngosuku lwesithathu. Khona-ke uPetru wamthatha wamxwayisa, wathi, Kude nawe lokhu, Nkosi; lokhu ngeke kwenzeke kuwe.”²⁷

GSAM 65.1Ngaleso sikhathi wabatshela ukuthi kukhona abanye ababemi lapho abangeke bafe bengakaboni iNdodana yomuntu ifika embusweni wayo.²⁸ Cishe izinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili kamuva, lesi siprofetho sagcwaliseka; futhi umphostoli uPetru ubhekisela kulowo “mbono” kaKristu eza embusweni wakhe njengobufakazi bokubuya kwesibili kukaKristu okusazokwenzeka esikhathini esizayo.²⁹

GSAM 65.2Ngesinye isikhathi lapho uKristu nabafundi bakhe beseGalile, uJesu wathi kubo, “Indodana yomuntu izokhashelwa ezandleni zabantu; bazombulala, kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izovuswa. Futhi badabuka kakhulu.”³⁰ Kodwa-ke abazange baqonde incazelo yakhe, ngoba noma ngesikhathi ezama ukugxilisa ezingqondweni zabo iqiniso elinzulu lokufa nokuvuka kwakhe, babebanga impikiswano phakathi kwabo ngokuthi ubani omkhulu embusweni wezulu.³¹

GSAM 65.3Ngomunye umzuzu uPetru wathi kuJesu, “Sishiye konke, sakulandela; sizothola ini-ke? Wathi uJesu kubo, Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, nina eningilandeleyo, ekuzalweni kabusha lapho iNdodana yomuntu izohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sobukhazikhazi bayo, nani nizohlala ezihlalweni eziyishumi nambili, nahlulele izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli.”³² Kodwa-ke umqondo wombuso owawuzokwakhiwa kungekudala wawusemqondweni wabo, futhi bona, njengabantu nje, baqala ukufuna indawo ephakeme kakhulu embusweni.

GSAM 65.4Kwabe sekuza unina onentshisekelo kaJakobe noJohane, amadodana kaZebedewu, ecela uKristu ukuthi amadodana akhe athole izikhundla eziphakeme—omunye ngakwesokudla, omunye ngakwesobunxele kwesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi; noma mhlawumbe omunye abe uNdunankulu kahulumeni, omunye abe uMphathiswa Wezangaphandle. Kodwa uKristu wathi ngokusobala, “Anazi enikucelayo.”³³

GSAM 66Ukufika Ngokunqoba eJerusalema

GSAM 66.1Akukude naleli thuba kwenzeka isenzakalo esikhulu nesimangalisayo. Kwakuwukuvuswa kukaLazaru ethuneni, lowo owayesefile izinsuku ezine. Isimangaliso esinamandla kangaka savusa futhi samangaza abantu kangangokuba amaFarisi athuka, futhi kanye nabapristi, ngokushesha babiza umhlangano; futhi ekuxoxeni kwabo babuza, “Sizokwenzani? Ngoba lo muntu wenza izimangaliso eziningi. Uma simshiya kanjalo, bonke abantu bazokholwa kuye; futhi amaRoma azofika athathe zombili indawo yethu nobuzwe bethu.”³⁴ Ngesikhathi amandla kaSathane avela ngaphansi ethatha labo ababezama ukubhubhisa uKristu, amandla avela phezulu ayehambisa izixuku ukuba zimkhazimulise, futhi zigcwalise lokho okwakubikezelwe ngaye.

GSAM 66.2Ngesikhathi esishiwo ngenhla, abantu baphuma ngobuningi, hhayi nje ukubona uJesu kuphela, kodwa nokubona uLazaru, lowo ayevuse kwabafileyo. Manje kubo kwabonakala kuqinisekile ukuthi uJesu wayengumuntu ababemlindele isikhathi eside njengenkosi yabo, futhi lapho bemhlangana naye eza eJerusalema, ehlezi ethole lembongolo, amazwi emiBhalo afika ngamandla ezingqondweni zabo, “Ungesabi, ndodakazi yaseZiyoni: bheka, inkosi yakho iyeza, ihlezi phezu kwethole lembongolo.”³⁵ Kwaqhuma umsindo omkhulu wokunqoba phakathi kwesixuku esikhulu, owawudida kakhulu amaFarisi anenhliziyo ebandayo nabacabangayo. Phakathi kwabo bathi, “Niyabona ukuthi aninamandla? Bheka, umhlaba wonke umlandele.”³⁶ Esicelweni sabo sokuba uKristu amise ukumemeza, waphendula wathi, “Ngiyanithi, uma laba bethula umlomo, amatshe azokhala ngokushesha.”³⁷ INkosi yayisithi ngalesi sigameko, “Memeza,” futhi uma abantu bengawugcwalisi izwi layo, yayizofaka izwi ematsheni emigwaqweni, bese azokhala; ngoba izwi layo kumele ligcwaliswe.

GSAM 66UKristu Uzohamba Aphinde Abuye

GSAM 66.3Akugcini nje ngokuthi uMsindisi wethu wayefuna ukuqondisa izingqondo zabafundi eqinisweni lokuthi wayezofa futhi avuke, kodwa wayefuna futhi ukubafundisa ukuthi umbuso wawungeke ufike kuze kube yilapho esehambile futhi esebuyile. Ebhekisa ekubulaweni kwakhe esiphambanweni wathi, “Mina, uma ngiphakanyiswa emhlabeni, ngizodonsa bonke abantu kimi. Lokhu wathi, ekhombisa ukuthi uzofa kanjani. Abantu bamphendula bathi, Sizwe emthethweni ukuthi uKristu uhlala unaphakade; futhi uthi kanjani, Indodana yomuntu kumele iphakanyiswe? Ubani lo Indodana yomuntu?”³⁸

GSAM 67.1Ukuze abafundi baqonde ngokuphelele ukuthi wayezoya kude abuyele futhi ngaphambi kokuba umbuso wakhe usungulwe emhlabeni, wathi, “Zingane ezincane, isikhathi esifushane ngisekhona nani. Nizongifuna; njengoba ngatshela amaJuda, Lapho ngiya khona anikwazi ukuza; ngakho-ke manje ngiyanitshela.... USimoni Petru wathi kuye, Nkosi, uya kuphi? UJesu wamphendula wathi, Lapho engiya khona awukwazi ukungilandela manje; kodwa uzongilandela kamuva.”³⁹ Wabe esekhuthaza izinhliziyo zabo ezikhathazekile nezidabukile ngalezi zisho: “Inhliziyo yenu makungakhathazeki; nikholwa kuNkulunkulu, nikholwe nami. Endlini kababa kukhona izindlu eziningi; uma bekungekho kanjalo, bengizokutshela. Ngiyahamba ngiyokulungiselela indawo. Futhi uma ngiyahamba ngiyokulungiselela indawo, ngizobuya ngizokwamukela nina kimi; ukuze lapho ngikhona nibe khona nani.”⁴⁰

GSAM 67Isifaniso Somuntu Ophakeme

GSAM 67.2Futhi uMsindisi waphinda wazama ukulungisa umbono ongalungile wokuthi umbuso wawuzovela ngokushesha, ngokusebenzisa lesi sifaniso esilandelayo ngesikhathi yena nabafundi bakhe beya eJerusalema: “Induna ethile yangena ezweni elikude ukuze ithole umbuso wayo, bese ibuya. Yabiza izinceku zayo eziyishumi, yazinika amapawundi ayishumi, yathi kuzo, Zibandakanyeni emsebenzini kuze ngibuye.... Kwathi lapho ebuyile, esethola umbuso, wayala laba zinceku abebezinikwe imali ukuba zibizwe kuye, ukuze azi ukuthi ngamunye wazuza malini ngokuhweba.”⁴¹ Kulesi sifaniso iNkosi izimela ngesikhulu. Wayezoya ezweni elikude—kuyise—futhi lapho athole khona umbuso, ngaphambi kokubuya ukuzobusa.

GSAM 68.1Njengempendulo embuzweni wabafundi, “Iyini isibonakaliso sokufika kwakho nokuphela komhlaba?”⁴² uMsindisi wabanika uhlu lwezehlakalo ezazizokwenzeka phakathi kobunzima obukhulu obuzowela ebandleni, kanye nezimpawu ezicacile ezazizovela. Uma lezi zenzakala, babeyazi ukuthi ukufika kwakhe sekuseduze, sekusemnyango, nokuthi isizukulwane esibona lezi zenzakalo asisoze sidlule kuze afike.⁴³

GSAM 68Ushiywe Yibo Bonke Abafundi

GSAM 68.2Kodwa naphezu kwazo zonke izifundo uKristu ayezinike abaphostoli mayelana nokufa kwakhe nokuhlazeka kwakhe, bahluleka ngokuphelele ukuqonda iqiniso ayebafundise ngalo mayelana nokwahlulelwa kwakhe nokubethelwa kwakhe esiphambanweni. Babenombono obuthakathaka kangaka weqiniso ukuthi lapho kufika ukuhlolwa, ithemba labo lafa, bonke “bamshiya baphunyuka.”⁴⁴ Ngisho uPetru, uPetru owayenentshiseko njalo, owayeqiniseka ukuthi noma bonke abantu bemshiya, yena ngeke amshiye, emahoreni ambalwa kamuva wayephika iNkosi yakhe, efunga ukuthi akamazi lowo muntu. Babengakuqondi kahle ukusho kweNkosi ukuthi ngosuku lwesithathu emva kokubethelwa kwakhe esiphambanweni wayezovuka kwabafileyo, babuza futhi bahlanganyela phakathi kwabo bathi “kusho ukuthini ukuvuka kwabafileyo.”⁴⁵ Empeleni, babengakholwa kangangokuba, ngemva kokushona kwakhe nokubekwa komzimba wakhe ethuneni elisha likaJosefa, balungiselela ukumfaka izithako zokugcina umzimba. Ithemba selidlulile—lifihlwe noKristu ethuneni—yayingusuku lweSabatha olunjani kubafundi! Ngenhliziyo ezizwe umthwalo wosizi nokudumazeka, bengenaye uMsindisi onobubele nomusa, umhlanguli wabo owagcwala izenzo zothando nomusa, okusondela ukubathuthuzela nokubaqinisa, kwakungakanani ukudabuka kwesimo sabo!

GSAM 69Iziganeko Ezishukumisayo Zasekuseni Kokuvuka

GSAM 69.1Ekusa kosuku lokuqala lweviki sekufikile! Kwakukhona ukudideka okukhulu ezulwini nasemhlabeni! Ingelosi enamandla yehla ivela ezindaweni zenkazimulo iye ethuneni likaJosefa, iphethe umyalezo omyala iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ukuthi ivuke. “Futhi, bheka, kwaba nokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu: ngoba ingelosi yeNkosi yehla isuka ezulwini, yafika yagingqa itshe yalisusa emnyango, yahlala phezu kwalo. Ubuso bakhe babunjengombani, nezingubo zakhe zazimhlophe njengeqhwa: ngenxa yokumesaba abagadi bathuthumela, baba njengabafileyo.”⁴⁶ “Abaningi babangcwele abalele bavuka, baphuma emathuneni ngemva kokuvuka kwakhe, bangena edolobheni elingcwele, babonakala kubantu abaningi.”⁴⁷ Cabanga ngalabo ababizayo abanjalo eJerusalema, eminyango yabangane babo, ngezindaba zokuthi uKristu obulelwe esiphambanweni uvukile kwabafileyo, nokuthi nabo bavuswe ngamandla akhe, ukuze bafakazele ngokuvuka kwakhe. Yikuphi ukusebenza phakathi kwabafundi nabesifazane abangcwele—begijima lapha nalapha ukwazisa izindaba ezinhle, “Uvukile kwabafileyo, ngoba simbonile futhi sakhuluma naye!”

GSAM 69UJesu Ungena Emaphandleni

GSAM 69.2“Bheka, ababili babo bahamba ngalolo suku baya emzaneni omncane obizwa ngokuthi i-Emmaus, owawuqhele cishe ngamastadiyu angamashumi ayisithupha [amamayela ayisikhombisa nesigamu] ukusuka eJerusalema. Bakhuluma ndawonye ngazo zonke lezi zinto ezenzekile. Kwathi lapho besaxoxa futhi bexoxisana, uJesu uqobo wasondela, wahamba nabo. Kodwa amehlo abo abebanjwe ukuze bangamazi. Wathi kubo, Lena yingxoxo enjani eniyixoxayo phakathi kwenu nihamba, nidabukile? Omunye wabo ogama lakhe uKleopasi waphendula wathi kuye, Ingabe nguwe wedwa ongumfokazi eJerusalema, ongazazi izinto ezenzekile khona kulezi zinsuku? Wathi kubo, Yini lezo zinto? Bathi kuye, NgoJesu waseNazareth, owayengumprofethi onamandla ngezenzo nangezwi phambi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu bonke; nokuthi abapristi abakhulu nabaphathi bethu bamnikela ukuba agwetshwe ukufa, bambethela esiphambanweni. Kodwa thina sasinethemba lokuthi yena wayezokhulula u-Israyeli; futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke lokhu, sekuyizinsuku ezintathu kusukela kwenzeka lezi zinto. Yebo, futhi abanye besifazane eqenjini lethu basimangaza, ababehambile ekuseni ethuneni; futhi lapho bengatholi umzimba wakhe, babuya bethi babone umbono wezingelosi ezathi wayephile. Futhi abanye babo ababe nathi baya ethuneni, bakuthola kunjalo njengoba abesifazane bethi; kodwa yena abambonanga.

GSAM 70.1“Wathi kubo, Nina bahlanya, benhliziyo ezibambezelayo ekukholweni konke okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi! Ingabe uKristu akufanele abekezelele lezi zinto, angene ebukhazikhazini bakhe? Futhi eqala kuMose nakubaprofethi bonke, wabachazela kuyo yonke imiBhalo izinto eziphathelene naye.”⁴⁸ Lapho esezokwabelana nabo isidlo, waphula isinkwa wabonga, “amehlo abo avuleka, bamazi.... Bathi komunye nomunye, Ingabe izinhliziyo zethu bezingavuthi ngaphakathi kithi, esakhuluma nathi endleleni, esavulela imiBhalo?”⁴⁹

GSAM 70.2Manje, ekugcineni, abafundi bayabona, ngemva kokuba inkinga isichazwe ngokuphelele kubo, ukuthi kwakukhona ukufa nokuvuka okuhlobene nomsebenzi woMsindisi. Kodwa bazobheka kanjani umbuzo wombuso wakhe?

GSAM 70.2“Waziveza ephilile ngemva kokuhlupheka kwakhe ngobufakazi obungangabazeki obuningi, ebabonakala izinsuku ezingamashumi amane, ekhuluma ngezinto eziphathelene nombuso kaNkulunkulu; futhi, esehlangene nabo, wabayala ukuthi bangashiyi iJerusalema, kodwa balinde isithembiso sikayise, esithi, Nizwe ngami; ngoba uJohane wabhapathiza ngamanzi; kodwa nina nizobhapathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele kungekudala.

GSAM 71Ingabe Manje Uzobuyisela Umbuso?

GSAM 71.1“Ngakho-ke lapho sebehlangene ndawonye, bambuza bathi, Nkosi, ngalesi sikhathi uyobuyisela umbuso kwa-Israyeli? [okusho ukuthi, Sifundile ukuthi kwakudingeka ukuthi ubethwe esiphambanweni, uvuke kwabafileyo ngokwemiBhalo, kodwa awusoze wabuyisela umbuso manje?] Wathi kubo, Akusikho kini ukwazi izikhathi noma izizini uBaba azibeke emandleni akhe. Kodwa niyothola amandla, lapho uMoya oNgcwele esefikile kini; nibe izifakazi zami eJerusalema nakuzo zonke iJuda naseSamariya kuze kube emaphethelweni omhlaba. Futhi lapho esekhuluma lezi zinto, besabuka, wakhuphukela phezulu; kwafika ifu lamamukela emehlweni abo. Futhi ngenkathi bebheke ngokuqinile esibhakabhakeni lapho enyukayo, nanko, kwavela amadoda amabili ngokugqoka okumsulwa, amele eduze kwabo; lawo athi, Nina bantu baseGalile, nime nibheke phezulu ezulwini ngani? Lo uJesu, olukhulunywe ngaye, olwenyukiswe enizulwini, uzobuya ngendlela eniyibonile enyukayo ngayo.”⁵⁰

GSAM 71UJesu uzohlala ezulwini kuze kube sekubuyiselweni kwezinto

GSAM 71.2Manje njengoba uMsindisi ebashiye, futhi empeleni bembone “enyukela lapho ayekhona khona ngaphambili,” babe nokuqiniseka ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele uzobafundisa ngesikhathi umbuso ozofika ngaso. Ngakho-ke, uPetru eziyalweni zakhe kubantu, ngemva kokwamukela uMoya, wathi, “Uyothumela uJesu Kristu, owamemezwa kini ngaphambili; lowo okufanele amazulu amamukele kuze kube yizikhathi zokubuyiselwa kwazo zonke izinto, uNkulunkulu akhulume ngazo ngomlomo wabo bonke abaprofethi bakhe abangcwele kusukela ekuqaleni kwezwe.”⁵¹

GSAM 71.3KuMphostoli uPetru kwaphinde kwanikezwa nguMoya oNgcwele amaqiniso mayelana nemihlaba emithathu: Okokuqala, umhlaba owawungaphambi kozamcolo, owawubhujiswa ngamanzi; okwesibili, umhlaba wanamuhla ogcinelwe umlilo—umlilo umhlaba ogcwele wona, njengoba kubhalwe ku-Revised Version—lowo mlilo ozoba ukubhujiswa, ukonakala, nokubhujiswa kwabantu abangamukeli uNkulunkulu; okwesithathu umhlaba omusha, “okuhlala kulo ubulungisa;” noma, njengoba abanye behumusha, “lapho abalungileyo bahlala khona.”⁵²

GSAM 72.1Umphostoli uPawulu wethula ukuvuka kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu nokuguqulwa kwabangcwele bakhe bonke kusuka esimweni sokufa kuya ekungafini, “ngokuphazima kweliso, ngecilongo lokugcina.” Watshela amaKorinte ukuthi uKristu manje usesesihlalweni sobukhosi sikayise, futhi uzohlala lapho kuze zonke izitha zakhe zithobelwe yena. Lokho kusho ukuthi, kuze kube yilapho umbuso—umbuso wakhe—unikezwe ezandleni zakhe nguBaba, njengoba kwaphrofethelwa kuDaniyeli 7:13, 14; IHubo 2:8, 9. Ebandleni laseThesalonika wethula ukuza kukaKristu nokuvuka kwabafileyo njengethemba labo kuphela, futhi njengomthombo woduduzo lwangempela lapho abathandekayo babo behlukaniswa nabo ngesandla sokufa.⁵³

GSAM 72Ukubuya kweNkosi Okungacacile

GSAM 72.2Kuze kube manje ibandla belingakabi nolwazi oluqondile ngesikhathi iNkosi ezobuya ngaso. Lapho uMphostoli encwadini yakhe yokuqala ayibhalela abaseThesalonika ethi, “thina esaphilayo esasalele sizophakanyiswa,” abafowethu baqonda ukuthi uKristu wayezofika ngenkathi abanye babo basaphila. Encwadini yakhe yesibili uyalungisa umbono wabo ongafanele ngencwadi yakhe, wathi “lolo suku aluzofika, ngaphandle kokuba kuqala kube nokuhlukana, bese kudalulwa lowo muntu wokonakala, indodana yokubhujiswa; ophikisa futhi ozibeka ngaphezulu kwazo zonke izinto ezibizwa ngoNkulunkulu noma ezinkonzwayo.”⁵⁴

GSAM 72Ukushiya Inkolelo

GSAM 72.3Futhi ibandla lisashiywa liyazama ukuthola indlela ebumnyameni mayelana nesikhathi sokubuya kwesibili kukaKristu. Abafowethu baye bafunda ukuthi kuzoba nokuphambuka; kodwa umbuzo wawungowokuthi kuzohlala isikhathi esingakanani. Impendulo yanikezwa kamuva kuJohane ngesikhathi ebone umbono esiQhingini sasePatmos, ezimpawini ezitholakala ezahlukweni eziyishumi nambili neziyishumi nantathu zeSambulo—“isikhathi, nezikhathi, nengxenye”, “izinyanga ezingamashumi amane nambili”, “izinsuku eziyinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha” (iminyaka); kodwa kuze kube manje kwakungekho okwenzekile okwakumaka ukuqala kwaleso sikhathi eside. Ngakho-ke ibandla lalisathemba futhi lilinde ukuza kukaKristu lingazi ngokuqinisekile isikhathi esinembile sokubonakala kwakhe; ngoba lapho leso sikhathi sokuhlupheka sesidlule, kwakusazoba nesikhashana sokulwa nokunqoba esalele ebandleni “elisele”.⁵⁵

GSAM 73.1Ngenxa yokuvalwa kwamarekhodi eTestamente Elisha, isihloko sokubuya kwesibili kukaKristu sibekwe ngokusobala phambi kwethu. Cishe ivesi eyodwa kwazo zonke ezingamashumi amathathu ikhuluma ngendlela ethile ngokubuya kwesibili kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu. Ngalesi sihloko, kanye nesimo sebandla maqondana nalelo themba phakathi neminyaka edlule kuze kube esikhathini sanamuhla, uRobert Patterson, D.D., ukhuluma embhalweni obizwa nge-Interior, ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “Ithemba Elibusisiwe,” ngale ndlela:—

GSAM 73IMileniyamu Yasemhlabeni—uPatterson

GSAM 73.2“Lapho iNkosi yethu ishiya ibandla layo emhlabeni iya kuBaba, yalishiya lisesimweni sokudabuka. Abafundi bakhe abangamakhulu amahlanu babezungezwe umhlaba wonke wezitha zakhe, ohlelwe waba izinkolo eziphikisana nobuKristu nohulumeni ngomunye wobuhlakani obuphakeme kakhulu, ogcwele intando embi enobuthi, futhi ofundiswe isipiliyoni seminyaka eminingi ngezindlela ezisebenza kahle kakhulu zokubhubhisa. INkosi yayiyazi ingozi yethu; futhi ezinkulumweni zakhe zokugcina akazange ayinciphise, noma athembise ukuncipha kobutha bomhlaba nokuhlupheka kwebandla. Kodwa wathembisa ukuthi yena uqobo uyobuya ukuze ahlule izitha zakhe, nokuthi uzosisekela kuze kufike lolo suku olubusisiwe. ‘Umhlaba uyakuzonda. Ezweni nizoba nezinsizi. Nizokhala nililele, kodwa izwe lizojabula. Nizadabuka, kodwa ukudabuka kwenu kuzoguquka kube injabulo.... Manje-ke ninokudabuka, kodwa ngiyobonani futhi, nenhliziyo yenu izojabula, nenjabulo yenu akekho ozoyithatha kini. Uma ngihamba, ngizobuya futhi ngizonamukela kimi, ukuze lapho ngikhona, nibe khona nani.’

GSAM 74.1“Lena yayiyithemba elibusisiwe lokubuya kwakhe mathupha ngalo athuthuzela ibandla lakhe ngesikhathi ehamba. Phakathi naleso sikhathi sonke sokungabikho kwakhe, wathi kumele sibekezelele ukuhlupheka; futhi kunjalo okwenzekile. Uma sizojabulela noma yisiphi isikhathi sokuthula ngaphandle ngesikhathi engekho, uma ibandla lakhe lizokhululwa ekuhlaselweni komhlaba, uma kuzoba khona inkathi yokuhlanzeka lapho ukhula lungakhuli phakathi kwengqoloyi, noma uma, ekufikeni kwakhe, ezokwamukelwa yizakhamuzi zomhlaba ogcwele udumo lweNkosi, noma ngempela abe nakho ukuthola ukholo emhlabeni, kuzoba yisimanga esingazelelwe kuye. UJesu wayengazi ngale minyaka eyinkulungwane. Sithi wayengazi ngakho, ngoba akazange asitshele ngakho; futhi uthi, ‘Ngibizile nina abangane, ngoba zonke izinto engizwile kuBaba ngizazise kini.’ Kodwa kuyo yonke imikhulumo yakhe nezifaniso akukho noma yisiphi isibonakaliso esincane sokuthi kumele silindele noma yisiphi isikhathi sokuthula noma sokuduma ngaphambi kokufika kwakhe. Abaphostoli babengazi ngokulinganayo ngeminyaka eyinkulungwane engenaKristu. Eminyakeni engamakhulu amathathu emva kokuhamba kweNkosi yethu ithemba elibusisiwe lebandla kwakuyithemba lokubuya kwakhe.

GSAM 74.2“Kodwa lapho, ekuthuthukeni kokuphambuka kwakhe okubikezelwe, umakoti kaKristu waqala ukuziduduzela ekungabikhoneni kwakhe ngobungane bamakhosi omhlaba, ngokwemvelo waphendukela kude nesibhakabhaka saseMpumalanga, nasekubuyeni kweNkosi yakhe, okwakuzophetha ubukhulu bakhe bomhlaba. Lapho abavuseleli befaka ithrompethi levangeli emlonyeni wabo ... amaphupho enkathi yeminyaka eyinkulungwane engenaKristu asuswa ngokushesha ... futhi ibandla laqala kabusha ukubheka ukufika kweNkosi ukuzobhubhisa u-Antikristu.... Ezincwadini zabo, ezinkulumweni, nasezivumweni zokholo, abavuseleli bamemezela amathemba abo angaphambi kwenkathi yeminyaka eyinkulungwane.

GSAM 74.3“I-Westminster Assembly iphetha isitatimende sayo sokholo ngokumemezela ukholo lwayo ekubuyeni kwesibili kweNkosi ngamazwi achaza ngokuphelele ukholo lwabaphremiliniyali. Bamemezela ngala mazwi asindayo: ‘Njengoba uKristu efuna siqiniseke ngokuphelele ukuthi kuzoba nosuku lokwahlulela, kokubili ukuze avimbele bonke abantu ekoneni, nokunikeza induduzo enkulu kwabalungileyo ezinkingeni zabo, kanjalo uzokwenza lolo suku lungaziwa kubantu, ukuze bakhiphe konke ukuzethemba okungokwenyama, futhi bahlale belindile, ngoba abazi ukuthi iNkosi izofika ngaliphi ihora: futhi bahlale belungele ukusho, Woza, Nkosi uJesu: woza ngokushesha!’⁵⁶

GSAM 75.1“Abokhokho bethu abavuselelayo baqinisa izinhliziyo zabo ngokulindela ukuza kweNkosi, futhi bakhuthazana ngokukhala bathi, ‘Bambelela ensimini! ngoba uyeza namabutho osizo,’ umqondo owafakwa muva nje eculweni lokuvuselelwa elidumile, kodwa owawujwayelekile kwamaCovenanters aseScotland akudala.

GSAM 75.2“Kodwa kungakapheli sikhathi eside kwavela ukuphambuka kwesibili ekukholweni phakathi kwamabandla avuselelweyo. Kwaziwa eScotland njengeModeratism; eNgilandi, njengeArianism, futhi muva nje, njengeBroad Churchism; eMelika kwazibiza ngokuthi iUnitarianism; naseJalimane, iRationalism. Ukubeka ingqondo yomuntu njengomahluleli, nokubheka ukubona kwethu kwesimanje okuncane njengobufakazi, nokuphika ukuthi noma yisiphi isenzakalo singenzeka ngaphandle kokuhambisana nomthetho wemvelo obonwayo, kwanciphisa uJesu waba sesikhundleni somfundisi wamaJuda, owayephambili esikhathini sakhe, kodwa engazi lutho ngesayensi yanamuhla. Vele, umqondo wokuthi umuntu onjalo angabuya emhlabeni ongabonakali ukuze abuse emhlabeni wabuyiselwa ezinganekwaneni zesiHebheru.

GSAM 75UDaniel Whitby mayelana neMileniyamu

GSAM 75.3“Izithembiso zokubuya kwakhe okwesibili nokubusa emhlabeni zachazwa njengokusho ukusabalala kwevangeli lakhe kuphela, nokuzithoba kwengxenye enkulu yomhlaba kubuKristu iminyaka eyinkulungwane, noma, njengoba abanye becabanga, iminyaka engu-360,000; phakathi naleyo nkathi abantu babeyothuthuka emikhakheni yobuciko bokuphila komphakathi, futhi bajabulele ukuthula nenhlalakahle okungakaze kube khona. Futhi ekupheleni kwaleso sikhathi elide, elikhulu kakhulu ukuze ingqondo evamile ikwazi ukulibona lonke, mhlawumbe kwakuzovela ukuzamazama okukhulu kwemvelo, futhi kwakungathiwa iNkosi izofika izobhubhisa umhlaba, bese ibiza isintu ukuba sihlulelwe. Le thiyori yachazwa ngokuningiliziwe futhi yathandwa ngumhlaziyi waseNgilandi ogama lakhe linguWhitby [uDaniel Whitby washona ngo-1726], owabonisa ngokubhalelana kwakhe okushicilelwe ukuthi wayengu-Arian, kodwa izincazelo zakhe zazithandwa kakhulu ngabantu beqembu lakhe, futhi iMileniyamu yakhe yenganekwane yamukelwa ngenjabulo ngabaningi abahola izimpesheni ababambelele emfundisweni efanele nabangane bamabandla kahulumeni aseYurophu, ababebethemba ukuthi izobanika isikhathi eside sokuthola okweshumi nodumo. Ngenxa yomthelela wabo, yafakwa eMelika, lapho yasetshenziswa khona ngokushesha njengengxenye yezisho ezijwayelekile ezinkulumweni zomhlangano neziphetho zezinkulumo.”

GSAM 76.1Lezi zaziyizimfundiso ezahlukahlukene emazweni ahlukene njengoba sisondela esikhathini lapho iNkosi yathumela isixwayiso esinzima sokufika kwayo, ngisho “sekuseduze.”
