Ngaphambi kokuba udlulele kwimfundiso ethile kaYesu, bekuya kuba luncedo ukuhlolisisa ngokufutshane indlela eye yaphuhliswa ngayo ingqiqo yeBhayibhile ngalo mbandela.

IsiTyhilelo esiqhubela phambili

Kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuba iBhayibhile inikela isityhilelo esiqhubekayo sokuthanda kukaThixo ngoluntu. Ekuqaleni, umntu wayephila kwimeko yobudlelane noThixo nokufikelela ngokusisigxina ‘kuMthi woBomi’ loo nto yayikwazi ukusenza singafi ngokuphumelelayo (Gen 3:22). Ke, umbuzo, ‘Kwenzeka ntoni xa sisifa?’ ibiyinto engenamsebenzi; kwaye ngokukhawuleza emva kwesono sika-Adam akuzange kubonakale ngathi kuninzi okwenzekileyo - ngaphandle nje kokuba ubudlelwane bomntu noThixo baphulwa waza wagxothwa kumyezo wase-Eden.. Kodwa ngoku, njengoko yayithenjiswe ngobuqhetseba yiNyoka, uluntu luye lwaba ‘njengoThixo, ukwazi kakuhle kunye nobubi.’ Ngaphambili, amava akhe ayemahle kuphela: ngoku waqalisa ukwehlelwa bububi (zombini ngaphakathi nangaphandle), ummangaliso wobomi obutsha, ubukrakra bentiyo nokufa nokungakwazi okothusayo ukufumanisa oko kwakuya kwenzeka kuye xa esifa. Kule ndawo, into awayeyazi kukuba umzimba wakhe wawumiselwe ukubola ubuyele emhlabeni.

Kodwa wayenentuthuzelo enye enkulu. UThixo owayemngcatshile intembelo yakhe wayesamkhathalele (Gen 3:21) kwaye wayexele kwangaphambili ngeNyoka: “Ndiza kubeka ubutshaba phakathi kwakho nomfazi, naphakathi kwembewu yakho kunye nembewu yakhe. Uya kukwenza intloko yakho, Kwaye uya kutyumza isithende sakhe.” (Gen 3:15) UAdam okanye iNyoka babengazi ukuba kwakuthetha ntoni oko. Kanjalo, kwakubalulekile ukuba iNyoka ingazi: kuba yayiyinxalenye yecebo likaThixo lokuba iNyoka ngokwayo ifanele ibe nenxaxheba ekuzihliseleni intlekele..

Kodwa sithetha ngobulumko bukaThixo emfihlakalweni, ubulumko obufihliweyo, awathi uThixo ngenxa engaphambili, kwangaphambi kwawo amaphakade, wayimisela uzuko lwethu, ekungabangakho namnye wabaphathi beli hlabathi ubaziyo. ngokuba bebesazi, ngebengayibethelelanga emnqamlezweni iNkosi yozuko. (1Co 2:7-8)

Ukutyhubela iinkulungwane ezalandelayo uThixo watyhila ngokuthe ngcembe injongo yakhe yokugqibela: kodwa rhoqo ngeendlela eziye zaqhubeka ukufihla iqhinga lakhe lokugqibela ngelixa esifundisa ngakumbi malunga nemigaqo yokulunga nobulungisa bukaThixo - kunye nokubaluleka okubalulekileyo kokuphuhlisa ubudlelwane bokholo noThixo..

• Gen 5:24. UEnoki uyanyamalala ngenye imini kwiimeko ezingayifumaniyo ingcaciso esengqiqweni. Ngaba amakhondo akhe aphela ngokukhawuleza ngengubo elahliweyo kwaye akukho phawu lomzabalazo, njengoEliya kwiminyaka yamva (2Kings 2:11-13)? Asazi: kodwa abo babeshiywe ngasemva bagqibe kwelokuba, ngenxa yokuba wayesaziwa ngokusondela kuThixo eyona nto ibalulekileyo kuye, UThixo umele ukuba wawufezile umnqweno wakhe.
• Gen 6:5-8:22. Ububi buyanda kangangokuba uThixo ugqiba kwelokuba abuthintele ukusasazeka ngesigwebo sokufa ngoko nangoko.. NguNowa kuphela - indoda eyathi, njengoEnoki, wahamba noThixo, Waphila ngobulungisa kwaye wathobela ilizwi likaThixo-uyasinda kweso sigwebo sangoko, kunye nosapho lwakhe.
• ... kwaye ke ibali liyaqhubeka, ngeziganeko ezilandelelanayo zomeleza enye, ezinye okanye zombini iingcamango zokuba uThixo uya kubabuyekeza ububi abo benza ububi: kodwa oko, ngandlela thile, phezu kwabo nje ububi obucacileyo kunye nokufa obehlele uluntu, UThixo wayesafuna ukuba kunye nathi kwaye ukufa kwakungafuneki ukuba ibe sisiphelo kwabo bamfuna ngokwenene.

Loo nto ayithethi ukuba zazingekho ezinye iziprofeto ezazikhomba ekuzeni kukaYesu. Njengoko ixesha lihamba, zazingakumbi nangakumbi.

Ngokuphathelele olu sindiso, abaprofeti bafuna, bagocagoca ngenyameko, owaprofetayo ngobabalo oluya kunifikela, sifuna ukuba ngubani na okanye luhlobo luni lwexesha uMoya kaKristu, eyayikubo, walatha ku, xa wayexela kwangaphambili iimbandezelo zikaKristu, nozuko oluya kubalandela. (1Pe 1:10-11)

Nangona kunjalo, Indlela ezaziza kuzaliseka ngayo ezi ziprofeto yahlala iyimfihlelo; namakholwa ngamanye ngamanye amaxesha atshintshana phakathi kwethemba nokuphelelwa lithemba. Ndiza kukhetha eminye imizekelo emibini yomzekeliso othile…

Umsebenzi, phakathi kwako konke ukukhalaza kwakhe, iphuma nengqiqo yokwenene yokomoya:

Ndiyazi mna ukuba umhlawuleli wam uhleli;, yaye ekugqibeleni uya kuma emhlabeni. Kwaye emva kokuba ulusu lwam ludlavulwe, kodwa ndisenyameni yam, ndiya kumbona uThixo; (Job 19:25-26)

Kangangoko sinokuthi, UYobhi akazange akuxelelwe oku nguThixo okanye nawuphi na umprofeti owamandulelayo. Inyaniso, ibonakala ukusuka Job 7:9 ukuba le ngcamango ayizange ifike kuye ngaphambili. Ukanti akabonakali enxulumana noThixo ngelo xesha ngokomoya! Ufunda nje imikhondo kwiinkqubano zikaThixo zangaphambili nomntu kwaye ubeka ukholo lwakhe kukulunga nobulungisa bokugqibela bukaThixo.. Ngoko ugqiba kwelokuba kumele kufike intlangulo – nokuba kufuneka alinde kude kube sekupheleni kwehlabathi.

Kukho umzekelo ofanayo kwi Psalm 49:1-20. Umdumisi ukuchaza oku ‘njengeqhina’ - umbuzo obonakala ngathi awunampendulo isengqiqweni kodwa unengqiqo xa ekugqibeleni ubonwa ngokwembono echanekileyo. Uqala ngokubuza ukuba kwenzeka njani ukuba ajongane nekamva ngaphandle koloyiko, xa amaxesha amabi naphezu kokuqonda kwakhe isono sakhe. Emva koko uthelekisa oku kunye nokuzithemba ngokukhukhumala kwabo baye bazuza impumelelo kunye newonga kweli hlabathi.; ebonisa ukuba abanako nokusindisa obabo ubomi kwaye yonke loo nto iba lilize. Ugqiba ngala mazwi:

Babuthe ngokweegusha kwelabafileyo. Ukufa kuya kubalusa;. Abathe tye bayabanyathela kwakusa. Ubuhle babo buya kubola kwelabafileyo, kude nendlu yabo enkulu. Kodwa uThixo uya kuwukhulula umphefumlo wam esandleni selabafileyo, ngokuba eya kundamkela. Selah. Musa ukoyika xa umntu enziwa isityebi, bakuba besanda ubuqaqawuli bendlu yakhe. Ngokuba ekufeni kwakhe akayi kuthabatha nento. Aluyi kuhla emva kwakhe uzuko lwakhe. Nangona esaphila wawusikelela umphefumlo wakhe– abantu baya kukudumisa ngokuzenzela okulungileyo– uya kuya noko esizukulwaneni sooyise. Abayi kukubona ukukhanya naphakade. Umntu osisityebi akanangqondo, ufana nezilwanyana ezitshabalalayo. (Psa 49:14-20)

Elabafileyo

‘EShiyol’ ligama lesiHebhere elithetha ‘indawo yabafileyo;’ kwakhona maxa wambi kubhekiselwa kuyo kwiTestamente Endala ‘njengomhadi’ (Ezekiel 31:16). NgesiNgesi, lidla ngokuguqulelwa ngokufuziselayo ngokuthi ‘ingcwaba;’ nangona kubhekiswa kuyo indawo yokungcwaba, isiHebhere sisebenzisa igama elahlukileyo, ngokuqhelekileyo ‘ingcwaba.’ IShiyol iphantse ifane negama lesiGrike, ‘Hadesi;’ yaye iguqulelwe ngolo hlobo kwiTestamente eNtsha nakwiTestamente Endala yeSeptuagint. Ikwaguqulelwa nangokuthi ‘iShiyol’ okanye ‘Hadesi’ kwiinguqulelo ezininzi zesiNgesi zanamhlanje.

Ezekiel 32:18-32 isizobela umfanekiso weShiyol njengomhadi omkhulu apho abafileyo beentlanga ezahlukahlukeneyo bangcwatywe bengamaqela; abanye baneempawu zembeko kunabanye: kodwa wafa. Abanye bakhuthazwa sisibakala sokuba lo mbono kaHezekile awunanto yakuyithetha ngoSirayeli yaye bonke abo bakhankanyiweyo abalukanga.. Kodwa abanye, bebuqonda ubugwenxa babo, yaye ngenxa yokungafumani themba licacileyo lovuko ekugqibeleni bakubona ukufa njengesiphelo yaye bajolisa amathemba abo ekunandipheni iintsikelelo ezininzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka kobu bomi.. KwanoKumkani uHezekiya (omnye wookumkani bakwaYuda abahlonel’ uThixo) kulindelwe ukuba aphelele eShiyol, kungekho themba lobomi bexesha elizayo, xa wafayo:

Ndithe, “Ndathi ke kwakuphela ubomi bam, ndangena emasangweni elabafileyo. Ndibanjelwe intsalela yeminyaka yam.” Ndithe, “Andimboni uYa, NguYehova ezweni labaphilileyo. andiyi kuba sambona umntu, ndikubemi belimiweyo;. Indawo yam yokuhlala isusiwe, kwaye ufuduswe kum njengentente yomalusi. Ndiye ndasonga, njengomluki, ubomi bam. Uya kundinqumla emfanteni wokuluka. Uya kundigqibela ngemini kude kube sebusuku. … Kuba elabafileyo alinakukuncoma. Ukufa akunakukubhiyozela. Abahla baye emhadini abanakulindela inyaniso yakho. (Isa 38:10-12,18)

IGehena

‘IGehena’ sisishunqulelo sesiGrike segama lesiHebhere, ‘kwintlambo yonyana kaHinom.’ Lo mwonyo, ngaphandle nje kweYerusalem, yayiyindawo engendawo. Xa abantu bamaYuda bemka kuThixo, bakha ‘indawo ephakamileyo’ (indawo yedini) Pha; apho abantwana ‘babecalulwa emlilweni’ (oko kukuthi. idini) kuThixo weentlanga, Moleki. Umprofeti uYeremiya wathetha la mazwi alandelayo ngokuchasene nayo:

Bazakhe iziganga zaseTofete, esemfuleni wakwaBhen-hinom, babatshise oonyana babo neentombi zabo emlilweni; endingayiyalelanga, kwaye ayizange ithi qatha engqondweni yam. Ke ngoko, khangela, ziyeza iintsuku, utsho uYehova, ayisayi kuba sathiwa yiTofete, kwanomfula wakwaBhen-hinom, kodwa yintili yokuBulala: baya kungcwatyelwa eTofete, kude kungabikho ndawo yakungcwaba. Izidumbu zaba bantu ziya kuba kukudla kweentaka zezulu, nakwizilo zomhlaba; kungabikho bani uboyikisayo. (Jer 7:31-33)

Jeremiah 19:1-15 yenza isibhengezo esigxininisa ngakumbi malunga nale ndawo; ebethelela ukuba iya kuzaliswa zizidumbu zabo bamshiyileyo uThixo; nokuba kwaneYerusalem iya kwenziwa ifane nayo ngenxa yobungendawo babemi bayo.

Ixesha leTempile yesiBini

Ebudeni beminyaka ephakathi kokubuya ekuthinjweni eBhabhiloni nokuzalwa kukaYesu kwakukho ukungavisisani okukhulu ngokwemfundiso phakathi kwamaYuda.. Iqela leenkcuba-buchopho labaSadusi layikhaba ngawo omane ingcamango yeengelosi, imimoya, ubomi emva kokufa nomgwebo wokugqibela njengenkolelo nje; kanti abaFarisi babezingisa kubunyani bazo. Nangona kunjalo, Ukutolikwa kweyona ntsingiselo yezibhalo ezithetha ngalo mbandela yayiyintelekelelo, ngokuxhomekeke ekutolikweni koorabhi ngabanye - kwaye zahluke kakhulu. Kodwa ngexesha likaYesu ‘iShiyol’ ngokuqhelekileyo yayiqondwa njengethetha indawo yokufa; nangona kubonakala ukuba abaFarisi babefikelele kwisigqibo sokuba amaYuda angamalungisa ayeza kusinda kwinkohlakalo yawo aze endaweni yoko amkelwe phakathi koosolusapho awayeza kulindela uvuko lwawo ebudeni bexesha likaMesiya.. Le yayiyimeko maxa wambi ekubhekiselwa kuyo ‘njengeSifuba sika-Abraham.’

Ngenkulungwane yokuqala BC isiAramiki, kunesiHebhere, yaba lulwimi lwemihla ngemihla lwamaYuda; yaye kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo ukukhapha ufundo lwasesidlangalaleni lwezibhalo zesiHebhere kunye nendinyana ngendinyana yokucacisa ingcaciso yesiAramiki., eyaziwa ngokuba yiTargum. Ekuqaleni, ezi zacengcelezwa ngenkumbulo: kodwa phakathi kwinkulungwane yokuqala AD babezibophelele ekubhaleni.

IiTargum ziyayityhila loo nto, ngexesha likaYesu, ‘IGehena’ yaba ngumzekeliso wendawo apho uThixo wayebohlwaya abenzi bobubi—ingakumbi abangakholwayo beentlanga.: kodwa namaYuda. Nangona kunjalo, kwakucingelwa ukuba makubekho umda kwixesha leso sohlwayo kunye nezithethe zoorabhi ezathi zaphuhliswa ngeli xesha zamisela umda omkhulu 12 iinyanga. Kwakukholelwa ukuba emva koku umntu wayenokulungela uvuko okanye ukutshatyalaliswa; le yokugqibela ichazwa ‘njengokuFa kweSibini.’ Ngeendlela ezininzi, ke ngoko, izithethe zoorabhi eziphathelele iGehena zazifana ngakumbi nengcamango yamaKatolika yeNtlambululo-miphefumlo kunaleyo siyibiza ngokuba sisihogo..

Ke xa uYesu wayeqalisa ubulungiseleli bakhe ezi ngcamango zilandelayo zazisele zisekiwe kwiingcinga zamaYuda, nangona ubume bawo bokwenyani yaqhubeka ingumbandela wengxoxo:

• IShiyol—Indawo yabafi.
• Isifuba sika-Abraham-indawo apho amaYuda angamalungisa anokulindela uvuko lwawo.
• IGehena – indawo yempindezelo kaThixo, kulandelwa mhlawumbi luvuko lwabafileyo, okanye
• Ukufa kweSibini - intshabalalo okanye imeko yokufa okusisigxina.
