33. Ngesikhathi uJesu eza emhlabeni wabantu, weza neNkathi Yomusa waqeda iNkathi Yomthetho. Ezinsukwini zokugcina, uNkulunkulu wabuye waba yinyama, wathi ukuba abe yinyama ngalesi sikhathi, waqeda iNkathi Yomusa waletha iNkathi Yombuso. Bonke labo abemukela ukuba senyameni kwesibili kukaNkulunkulu bazongena eNkathini Yombuso, bakwazi ukuvuma ngokwabo ukuholwa nguNkulunkulu. Yize uJesu enza umsebenzi omningi kubantu, waqeda kuphela ukuhlengwa kwabantu waba umnikelo wezono zabantu; akasisusanga isimo senkohlakalo yomuntu. Ukusindisa umuntu ngokugcwele ekuthonyweni uSathane akudingi kuphela ukuthi uJesu athathe izono zabantu njengomnikelo wesono, kodwa kudinga ukuba noNkulunkulu enze umsebenzi omkhulu ukuze kuqedwe nya lesi simo somuntu, esiye sonakaliswa uSathane. Ngakho, ngemva kokuba umuntu ethethelelwe izono zakhe, uNkulunkulu wayesebuyele enyameni ukuze aholele abantu enkathini entsha, waqala umsebenzi wokujezisa nokwahlulela, kanti umsebenzi Wakhe usubeke abantu endaweni ephezulu. Bonke labo abathobela ukubuswa nguNkulunkulu bazothokozela iqiniso eliphezulu bathole nezibusiso ezinkulu. Bazophila ekukhanyeni, bazuze iqiniso, indlela, nokuphila.

34. Ngaphambili kokuhlengwa komuntu, ubutha obuningi bukaSathane base bufakiwe kuye. Ngemva kweminyaka eyizinkulungwane yokonakala kukaSathane, umuntu usevele enemvelo kuye yokuphika uNkulunkulu. Ngakho, lapho umuntu esekhululiwe, akukho okungaphezu kokukhululwa kwakhe, lapho umuntu ethengwa khona ngenani eliphezulu, kodwa imvelo enobuthi kuye ingakasuswa. Umuntu osengcoliswe kangaka kumele aguquke kuqala ukuze afanele ukukhonza uNkulunkulu. Umuntu uyokwazi kahle ukungcola nokungalungi okukuye ngenxa yokwahlulela nokusola futhi uyokwazi ukuguquka bese ehlanzeka. Kungale ndlela kuphela lapho umuntu eyokwazi khona ukubuyela ngaphambi kwesihlalo sikaNkulunkulu. Wonke umsebenzi owenziwe namuhla wenzelwe ukuba umuntu ahlanzwe futhi aguqulwe; ngokwahlulela nokusola ngezwi kanye nokucwengwa, umuntu angakuxosha ukonakala kuye bese ehlanzeka. Kunokuba kuthiwe lesi sigaba somsebenzi esensindiso kungafaneleka kangcono ukuthi kuthiwe umsebenzi wokuhlanzwa. Eqinisweni, lesi sigaba singesokunqoba nokuba yisigaba sesibili sensindiso. Umuntu uzuzwa uNkulunkulu ngokwahlulela nokusolwa izwi; ngokusebenzisa izwi lapho kucwengisiswa, kwahlulelwa nokudalulwa kwazo zonke izinto ezingcolile, imibono, izinhloso kanye nalokho umuntu akufisayo kuyadalulwa ngokuphelele. Nakuba umuntu esekhululiwe futhi wathethelelwa izono zakhe, kubhekwa kuphela uNkulunkulu engakhumbuli izono zomuntu futhi engamphathi umuntu ngokwezono zakhe. Nokho, lapho umuntu ephila esenyameni futhi engakhululiwe esonweni, angase aqhubeke nesono, alokhu eqhubeka embula ukonakala kwesimo sobusathane. Yile mpilo umuntu ayiphilayo, umjikelezo ongapheli wokona nokuthethelelwa. Iningi labantu liyona emini livume izono ntambama. Ngaleyo ndlela, ngisho umnikelo wesono uhlezi usebenza kumuntu, awukwazi ukumsindisa umuntu esonweni. Kusaqedwe ingxenye kuphela yomsebenzi ngoba umuntu usenesimo esonakele. Isibonelo, lapho abantu sebazi ukuthi bayinzalo kaMowabi, bakhipha amazwi okukhononda, ababe besafuna ukuphila, futhi baba abantu abanombono ongemuhle nhlobo. Akukhombisi lokhu ukuthi abakakwazi ukuzinikela ngokugcwele ngaphansi kokubusa kaNkulunkulu? Ingabe lokhu akusiso ngempela isimo esonakele sobusathane? Lapho ningafakiwe ekusolweni, izandla zenu zaziphakeme kakhulu kunezabanye, ngisho nakwezikaJesu. Nanimemeza ngezwi elikhulu: Yiba yindodana ethandekayo kaNkulunkulu! Yiba ngosondele kuNkulunkulu! Singamane sife kunanokuzinikela kuSathane! Vukelani udrako omkhulu obomvu! Akasuke emandleni udrako omkhulu obomvu! UNkulunkulu akasiphelelise! Ukumemeza kwenu kwakukukhulu kunokwabo bonke. Kodwa-ke kwase kufika izikhathi zokusolwa, kwase kuphinda kwembulwa isimo sabantu sokonakala. Ukumemeza kwabo kwase kuma, ababe besazimisela. Yilokhu ukonakala komuntu; kujulile kunesono, kutshalwe nguSathane kwagxiliswa ngokujulile futhi phakathi kumuntu. Akulula kumuntu ukuba abone izono zakhe; umuntu akakwazi ukubona imvelo yakhe egxilile. Ukwahlulelwa yizwi kuphela okungaba nomthelela onjalo. Yileyo ndlela umuntu angaguqulwa ngayo kancane kancane kusuka kulelo qophelo kuye phambili.

35. Umsebenzi ngezinsuku zokugcina uwukukhuluma amazwi. Zinkulu izinguquko ezingenzeka kubantu ngamazwi. Izinguquko ezenzekile kulaba bantu ekwamukeleni la mazwi zinkulu kakhulu kunalezo zangeNkathi Yomusa ekwamukeleni lezo zibonakaliso nezimangaliso. Ngoba, eNkathini Yomusa, amadimoni asuka kumuntu ngenxa yokubekwa kwezandla nemithandazo kodwa izimo zokonakala ngaphakathi kumuntu zahlala zikhona. Umuntu wayephulukiswa ekuguleni kwakhe futhi exolelwa izono zakhe, kodwa umsebenzi wendlela yokuthi izimo zobusathane ezonakalise ngayo umuntu zingaxoshwa kanjani kumuntu awenziwanga kuye. Umuntu wayephulukiswa ekuguleni kwakhe futhi ethethelelwa izono zakhe ngokukholwa kwakhe, kodwa umsebenzi wesimo semvelo yesono kumuntu asisuswanga, saqhubeka sahlala kuye. Izono zomuntu zathethelelwa ngoNkulunkulu osenyameni kodwa akusho ukuthi umuntu akanaso isono phakathi kuye. Izono zomuntu zazingathethelelwa ngomnikelo wesono kodwa umuntu akakakwazi ukuxazulula indaba yokuthi angabe esasenza isono nokuthi le mvelo yakhe yokona ingakhishwa kanjani ngokuphelele futhi iguqulwe. Izono zomuntu zaxolelwa ngenxa yomsebenzi wokubethelwa kukaNkulunkulu kodwa umuntu waqhubeka ephila enkathini endala, yendlela yesimo esonakele sobusathane. Kanjalo-ke umuntu kumele asindiswe ngokuphelele esimweni esikhohlakele sobusathane ukuze imvelo yesono ikhishwe ngokuphelele futhi ingaphinde ibe khona, kanjalo kwenzelwa ukuba isimo somuntu siguqulwe. Lokhu kudinga ukuba umuntu aqonde indlela yokukhula ekuphileni, indlela yokuphila kanye nendlela yokuguqula isimo sakhe. Kudinga nokuba umuntu enze ngokuvumelana nale ndlela ukuze isimo somuntu semvelo sizoguquka kancane kancane futhi usengaphila phansi kokukhanya futhi usengenza zonke izinto ezivumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu, alahle isimo sobusathane esonakele futhi akhululeke ethonyeni likaSathane lobumnyama ngaleyo ndlela aphume ngokugcwele esonweni. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho umuntu eyothola khona insindiso ephelele. Lapho uJesu enza umsebenzi Wakhe, ulwazi lomuntu ngaye lwalungakacaci. Umuntu wayelokhu ecabanga ukuthi uyindodana kaDavide futhi emmemezela njengomphrofethi omkhulu neNkosi enomusa eyakhulula umuntu esonweni. Abanye, ngenxa yokholo, baphulukiswa ngokuthinta nje umphetho wengubo Yakhe; abangaboni base bebona ngisho nababefile babuyiselwa ekuphileni. Nokho, umuntu akazange ayithole impande ejulile yesimo sobuSathane esonakele kuye futhi akakwazanga ukuyilahla. Umuntu wathola umusa omkhulu, njengokuthula kanye nenjabulo enyameni, isibusiso sawo wonke umndeni ngenxa yokholo loyedwa, nokuphulukiswa kwabagulayo kanye nokunye. Okunye kwakuyizenzo ezinhle zomuntu kanye nokubonakala kwazo kobuNkulunkulu; uma umuntu ayengaphila ngaleyo ndlela, wayebhekwa njengekholwa elihle. Amakholwa anjalo kuphela ayengangena ezulwini ngemva kokufa, okusho ukuthi ayesindiswa. Kodwa, ekuphileni kwawo, awazange ayiqonde nhlobo indlela yokuphila. Ayekwenza nje ukona bese evuma izono zawo ngokuwuchungachunge olungapheli ngaphandle kwenhloso yokuguqula izimo zawo: Sasinjalo isimo sabantu semvelo ngeNkathi Yomusa. Ingabe abantu sebethole insindiso ephelele? Cha! Ngakho, ngemva kokuba leso sigaba sesiphelile, usekhona umsebenzi wokwahlulela nokusola. Lesi sigaba senza umuntu abe msulwa ngamazwi ukuze umuntu anikwe indlela okumele ayilandele. Lesi sigaba sasingeke sibe nezithelo noma nenjongo ukube saqhubeka ngokuxoshwa kwamadimoni, ngoba isimo sesono somuntu asinakuxoshwa futhi umuntu angakwazi kuphela ukuma uma exolelwa izono zakhe. Umuntu uxolelwe iziphambeko zakhe ngenxa yomnikelo wesono ngoba umsebenzi wokubethelwa usufike ekugcineni futhi uNkulunkulu usemnqobile uSathane. Kodwa isimo somuntu esingalungile sisephakathi kumuntu futhi umuntu usuke esengasenza isono futhi aphikisane noNkulunkulu; uNkulunkulu akakasizuzi isintu. Yingakho kulesi sigaba somsebenzi uNkulunkulu esebenzisa izwi ukuze embule ukungalungi kwesimo somuntu, aphinde acele ukuba umuntu enze ngendlela efanele. Lesi sigaba sibaluleke kakhulu kunesingaphambili futhi sinezinzuzo ezengeziwe, okwamanje yizwi elinika ngokuqondile umuntu ukuphila futhi lenze isimo somuntu sibe sisha ngokuphelele; yisigaba somsebenzi esenziwe ngokucophelela okukhulu. Ngakho, ukuba kukaNkulunkulu senyameni ezinsukwini zokugcina kugcwalise ukubaluleka kokuba kwakhe enyameni futhi kwaluphetha ngokugcwele uhlelo lokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu lokusindisa umuntu.

36. Umsebenzi wezinsuku zokugcina ukwahlukanisa bonke ngokohlobo lwabo, ukuze kuphothulwe uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu lokuphatha, ngoba isikhathi sesisondele futhi usuku lukaNkulunkulu selufikile. UNkulunkulu uletha bonke asebengene embusweni Wakhe, okusho ukuthi, bonke labo abethembeke Kuye kwaze kwaba sekugcineni, enkathini kaNkulunkulu uqobo. Nokho, ngaphambi kokufika kwenkathi kaNkulunkulu uqobo, umsebenzi uNkulunkulu ayowenza akusikho ukubheka izenzo zomuntu noma ukuphenya ngempilo yomuntu, kodwa ukwehlulela ukuhlubuka kwakhe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyohlanza labo abeza phambi kwesihlalo Sakhe sobukhosi. Bonke labo abalandele ezinyathelweni zikaNkulunkulu kuze kube yilolu suku yibo abeze phambi kwesihlalo sikaNkulunkulu, futhi njengoba kunjalo, wonke umuntu owamukela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu esigabeni sawo sokugcina bayilabo abazocwengisiswa uNkulunkulu. Ngamanye amazwi, wonke umuntu owamukela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu esigabeni sawo sokugcina uyokwahlulelwa uNkulunkulu.

37. Ezinsukwni zokugcina, uKristu usebenzisa amaqiniso anhlobonhlobo ukuze afundise abantu, adalule ubunjalo bomuntu, futhi acubungule amazwi kanye nezenzo zakhe. Lawa mazwi aqukethe amaqiniso anhlobonhlobo, njengomsebenzi womuntu, indlela umuntu okumele alalele uNkulunkulu ngayo, indlela umuntu okumele athembeke kuNkulunkulu ngayo, indlela umuntu okumele aphile ngayo ubuntu obujwayelekile, kanye nobuhlakani kanye nesimo sikaNkulunkulu, njalo njalo. Wonke la mazwi aqondiswe engqikithini yomuntu kanye nasesimweni sakhe esikhohlakele. Ikakhulukazi, lawo mazwi adalula ukuthi umuntu umala kanjani uNkulunkulu akhulunywa mayelana nokuthi ngakho okuphathelene nokuthi umuntu kungani umuntu eyisiqu sikaSathane futhi eyisitha sikaNkulunkulu. Ekwenzeni umsebenzi wakhe wokwahlulela, uNkulunkulu akenzi nje kucace imvelo yomuntu ngamazwana ambalwa; uyembula, abhekane, futhi athene esikhathini eside. Lezi zindlela zokwambula, ukubhekana, kanye nokuthena azikwazi ukushintshaniswa namagama avamile kodwa ngeqiniso umuntu angenalo nhlobo. Yizindlela zalolu hlobo kuphela okuthiwa ngukwahlulela; kungokwahlulela kohlobo olunje lapho umuntu engathotshiswa khona futhi enziwe akholwe ngokuphelele ukuba athobele uNkulunkulu, bese, ngaphezu kwalokho ezuza ulwazi oluyiqiniso ngoNkulunkulu. Okulethwa umsebenzi wokwahlulela ukuqonda komuntu ubuso bukaNkulunkulu beqiniso kanye neqiniso ngokuhlubuka kwakhe uqobo. Umsebenzi wokwahlulela wenza umuntu athole ukuqonda okuningi ngentando kaNkulunkulu, ngenjongo kaNkulunkulu, nezimfihlakalo ezingaqondakali kuye. Kuphinde kwenze umuntu abone futhi azi ubunjalo bakhe obukhohlakele kanye nomsuka wenkohlakalo yakhe, futhi aphinde akwazi ukubona ububi bomuntu. Le miphumela idalwa umsebenzi wokwahlulela, ngoba ingqikithi yalo msebenzi empeleni ingumsebenzi wokudalula iqiniso, indlela, kanye nempilo kaNkulunkulu kubo bonke abakholwa Kuye. Lo msebenzi ngumsebenzi wokwahlulela owenziwa nguNkulunkulu.

38. Isintu esonakaliswe kakhulu uSathane, asigcini nje ngokwazi ukuthi kunoNkulunkulu kodwa siyekile ukukhonza uNkulunkulu. Ekuqaleni, lapho kudalwa u-Adamu no-Eva, inkazimulo kaJehova nobufakazi Bakhe kwakuhlale kukhona. Kodwa ngemva kokonakaliswa, umuntu yamlahlekela inkazimulo kanye nobufakazi ngenxa yokuthi wonke umuntu wahlubuka kuNkulunkulu futhi wayeka nokumhlonipha. Umsebenzi wanamuhla wokunqoba uwukubuyisa bonke ubufakazi nayo yonke inkazimulo, nokuthi bonke abantu bakhonze uNkulunkulu, ukuze kube nobufakazi phakathi kwezidalwa. Yilokho okudingeka kwenziwe kulesi sigaba somsebenzi. Siyonqotshwa kanjani ngempela isintu? Siyonqotshwa kusetshenziswa umsebenzi wamazwi ukuze umuntu aqinisekiswe ngokugcwele; ngokusebenzisa isambulo, isahlulelo, isijeziso, nesiqalekiso esinonya ukuze anqotshwe ngokugcwele; nangokuveza ukuhlubuka komuntu nokwahlulela ukuphikisa kwakhe ukuze azi ngokungalungi kwesintu nokungcola, okuzosetshenziswa ukuze kuvezwe isimo sikaNkulunkulu sokulunga. Ngokuyinhloko, ukusetshenziswa kwala mazwi okuyonqoba umuntu futhi kumqinisekise ngokugcwele. Amazwi ayindlela isintu esiyogcina sinqotshwe ngayo, bonke abamukela ukunqoba kumele bamukele nokuhlaselwa kanye nokwahlulela kwamazwi.

39. ENkathini Yombuso, uNkulunkulu usebenzisa izwi ukungenisa inkathi entsha, ukuguquka izindlela zomsebenzi Wakhe, nokwenza umsebenzi waso sonke isikhathi. Lesi yisimiso uNkulunkulu asebenza ngaso eNkathini Yezwi. be yinyama womuntu ukuze akhulume ngezindlela ezahlukene, ehlomisa umuntu ukuthi abone uNkulunkulu ngeqiniso, oyiZwi elivela enyameni, nangobuhlakani nezimangaliso Zakhe. Umsebenzi onjalo wenzelwe ukufinyelela kangcono emigomweni yokunqoba umuntu, yokumphelelisa, neyokumsusa. Lokhu kuwumqondo wangempela wokusebenzisa izwi ukuthi lisebenze ngeNkathi Yezwi. Ngezwi, umuntu ufinyelela ekwazini umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, isimo siNkulunkulu, ingqikithi yomuntu nalokho umuntu afanele ukungena kukhona. Ngezwi, yonke imisebenzi uNkulunkulu afisa ukuyenza ngeNkathi Yezwi iyafezeka. Ngezwi, umuntu uyembulwa, uyasuswa abuye alingwe. Umuntu ulibonile izwi, walizwa, wabona nokuba khona kwezwi. Ngenxa yalokho, umuntu uyakholwa wubukhona bukaNkulunkulu; umuntu ukholwa ukuba namandla onke nobuhlakani bukaNkulunkulu, kanye nasenhliziyweni yothando lukaNkulunkulu kumuntu nesifiso Sakhe sokusindisa umuntu. Yize igama elithi “izwi” lisobala futhi livamile, izwi elivela emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu obe yinyama linyakazisa lonke izulu nomhlaba; izwi Lakhe liguqula inhliziyo yomuntu, imicabango nesimo sakhe esidala nokubukeka kwakudala komhlaba wonke. Kuyo yonke iminyaka, nguNkulunkulu wanamuhla kuphela osebenza ngale ndlela, futhi NguYe kuphela okhuluma futhi asindise umuntu ngale ndlela. Emva kwalokho, umuntu uhlala ngaphansi kokuqondiswa yizwi, eluswa futhi ehlinzekwa yizwi; bahlala emhlabeni wezwi, baphila phakathi kweziqalekiso nezibusiso zezwi likaNkulunkulu, ngaphezu kwalokho bahlala phansi kokwahlulela nokusola kwezwi. La mazwi nalo msebenzi kwenzelwe nje insindiso yomuntu, ukufezwa kwentando kaNkulunkulu, nokuguqula isimo semvelo somhlaba wendalo endala. UNkulunkulu wadala umhlaba ngezwi, uhola abantu emhlabeni wonke ngalo izwi, uyanqoba abuye abasindise ngezwi. Ekugcineni, uzosebenzisa izwi ukuqeda wonke umhlaba omdala. Kungaleso sikhathi-ke lapho uhlelo lokuphatha lizophelela khona.

40. NgeNkathi Yombuso, uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ukhuluma amazwi ukuze anqobe bonke abantu abakholwa kuYe. Leli “yiZwi elivela enyameni;” uNkulunkulu uze ngezinsuku zokugcina ukuze ezokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe, okungukuthi, uze ukuzoqedela ukubaluleka kweZwi elivela enyameni. Ukhuluma amazwi kuphela, futhi kumbalwa lapho kunamaqiniso khona. Le yiyona ingqikithi yeZwi elivela enyameni, futhi uma uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ekhuluma amazwi Akhe, lokhu ukuvela kweZwi enyameni, futhi kuwuLizwi eliza enyameni. “Ekuqaleni kwakukhona uLizwi, futhi uLizwi wayenoNkulunkulu, futhi uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu, futhi uLizwi waba yinyama.” Lo (umsebenzi wokuvela kukaLizwi enyameni) umsebenzi uNkulunkulu azowuqeda ezinsukwini zokugcina, futhi yisahluko sokugcina sohlelo Lwakhe lonke lokuphatha, ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu kumele eze emhlabeni azoveza amazwi Akhe enyameni. Lokhu okwenziwe namuhla, lokhu okuzokwenziwa esikhathini esizayo, lokhu okuzofezwa nguNkulunkulu, isiphetho sokugcina somuntu, labo abazosindiswa, labo abazobhujiswa, njalo njalo—lo msebenzi okumele ufezeke ekugcineni ubekwe wacaca, futhi wonke umi ngohlelo ukuze uqede ukubaluleka kwangempela kweZwi elivela enyameni. Izinqumo zokuphatha nomthetho-sisekelo okwakukhishiwe kuqala, labo abazobhujiswa, labo abazongena ekuphumuleni—la mazwi onke kumele agcwaliswe. Lona ngumsebenzi omkhulu oqedelwe uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ngesikhathi sezinsuku zokugcina. Wenza abantu baqonde ukuthi labo abahlelelwe uNkulunkulu kusengaphambili baya ngakuphi nokuthi labo abangamiselwanga kusengaphambili uNkulunkulu bona baya ngakuphi, ukuthi abantu Bakhe namadodana Akhe bazohlukaniswa kanjani, kuzokwenzekani ku-Israyeli, kuzokwenzekani eGibhithe—esikhathini esizayo, wonke la mazwi azofezwa. Izinyathelo zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu zinyusa isivinini. UNkulunkulu usebenzisa izwi njengendlela yokuveza kumuntu ukuthi yini okumele yenziwe inkathi ngayinye, yikuphi okumele kwenziwe nguNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu wezinsuku zokugcina, kanye nenkonzo Yakhe okumele yenziwe, kanti wonke la mazwi enzelwe ukufeza ukubaluleka kwangempela kweZwi elivela enyameni.

41. Namuhla, uNkulunkulu usebe yinyama ukuze aqedele umsebenzi “weZwi elivela lisenyameni,” ukusebenzisa izwi ukuphelelisa umuntu, nokwenza umuntu amukele ukusebenza kwezwi kanye nokucwengwa kwezwi. Emazwini Akhe unenza nikwazi ukuhlinzekwa nizuze nokuphila; emazwini Akhe, nibona imisebenzi nezenzo Zakhe. UNkulunkulu usebenzisa izwi ukunisola nokunicwenga, ngakho-ke uma nibhekene nobunzima, kungenxa yezwi likaNkulunkulu. Namuhla, uNkulunkulu akawasebenzisi amaqiniso, kodwa amazwi. Kungemva kokuba izwi Lakhe lifikile kuwe lapho uMoya oNgcwele ungasebenza kuwe ukwenze uzwe ubuhlungu noma ubumnandi. Yizwi likaNkulunkulu kuphela elingakuletha eqinisweni, futhi yizwi likaNkulunkulu kuphela elikwazi ukukwenza upheleliswe. Ngakho-ke, okungenani kumele uqonde lokhu: Umsebenzi owenziwa nguNkulunkulu ngezinsuku zokugcina ikakhulu ngukusebenzisa izwi Lakhe ukuphelelisa wonke umuntu nokuqondisa umuntu. Wonke umsebenzi awenzayo uwenza ngezwi; akasebenzisi amaqiniso ukukusola. Kunezikhathi lapho abantu belwisana noNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu akakubangeli ukungakhululeki okukhulu, inyama yakho ayisolwa futhi awubhekani nobunzima—kodwa masinyane uma izwi Lakhe lifika kuwe, likucwenge, awukwazi ukumelana nakho. Ingabe akunjalo? Ngesikhathi sabenzi bomsebenzi, uNkulunkulu wayethi uphonsa abantu emgodini ongenamkhawulo. Ingabe abantu bafika ngempela emgodini ongenamkhawulo? Ngokusebenzisa nje izwi ukucwenga abantu, abantu bangena emgodini ongenamkhawulo. Ngalokho-ke, ngezinsuku zokugcina, uma uNkulunkulu eba yinyama wasebenzisa izwi kakhulu ukukwenza konke nokukwenza kucace. Kusemazwini Akhe kuphela lapho ungabona khona ukuthi uyini Yena; kusemazwini Akhe kuphela lapho ungabona khona ukuthi unguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe. Ngesikhathi uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu eza emhlabeni, akenzi omunye umsebenzi ngaphandle kokukhuluma amazwi—ngakho-ke asikho isidingo samaqiniso; amazwi anele. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uzele ikakhulu ukuzokwenza lo msebenzi, ukuvumela abantu babone amandla Akhe nobukhulu bamazwi Akhe, ukuvumela abantu babone emazwini Akhe ukuthi uzifihla kanjani ngokuthobeka, nokuvumela abantu bazi ukuphelela Kwakhe emazwini Akhe. Konke lokhu anakho nayikho kusemazwini Akhe, ubuhlakani nokumangalisa Kwakhe kusemazwini Akhe. Kulokhu wenziwa ukuthi ukwazi ukubona izindlela eziningi uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngazo amazwi Akhe. Umsebenzi omningi kaNkulunkulu sonke lesi sikhathi bekungukunikeza ukwambula nokusebenza kumuntu. Akamqalekisi kancane umuntu, noma ngabe uyakwenza, ukwenza ngezwi. Ngalokho-ke, kule nkathi uNkulunkulu eba yinyama, ungazami ukubona uNkulunkulu ephilisa futhi ekhipha amadimoni futhi, ungazami ukuhlala ubona izimpawu—asikho isidingo! Lezo zimpawu ngeke zimphelelise umuntu! Ukukhuluma ngokusobala nje: Namuhla, uNkulunkulu wenyama wangempela uqobo Lwakhe uyakhuluma kuphela, akenzi. Leli yiqiniso! Usebenzisa amazwi ukuze akuphelelise, asebenzise amazwi ukukondla nokukuphuzisa. Uphinde asebenzise amazwi ukusebenza, futhi usebenzisa amazwi endaweni yamaqiniso ukwenza wena wazi iqiniso. Uma ukwazi ukubona lolu hlobo lomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kusho ukuthi kunzima ukungenzi lutho. Endaweni yokugxila ezintweni ezimbi, kumele ugxile kokuhle—okungukuthi, noma ngabe amazwi kaNkulunkulu agcwalisekile noma cha, noma akhona amaqiniso noma awekho, uNkulunkulu wenza abantu bazuze ukuphila emazwini Akhe, kanti lolu yilona phawu olukhulu kunazo zonke, futhi phezu kwalokho, kuyiqiniso elingephikwe. Lobu ubufakazi obukhulu ongaba nolwazi ngoNkulunkulu ngabo, futhi kuwuphawu olukhulu kunezinye izimpawu. Yila mazwi kuphela angaphelelisa umuntu.

42. Ezinsukwini zokugcina, uNkulunkulu ikakhulu usebenzisa izwi ukuphelelisa umuntu. Akasebenzisi izimpawu nezimangaliso ukucindezela abantu, noma ukubathonya; lokhu ngeke kucacise amandla kaNkulunkulu. Uma uNkulunkulu ekhombisa izizimpawu nezimangaliso kuphela, kusho ukuthi kuzoba nzima ukucacisa iqiniso likaNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke kube nzima ukuphelelisa umuntu. UNkulunkulu akamphelelisi ngezimpawu nangezimangaliso umuntu, kodwa usebenzisa izwi ukunisela nokwelusa umuntu, ngemva kwalokho abantu bakwazi ukulalela nokwazi uNkulunkulu. Lena yinhloso yomsebenzi awenzayo namazwi awakhulumayo. UNkulunkulu akasebenzisi indlela yokukhombisa izimpawu nezimangaliso ukuphelelisa umuntu—usebenzisa amazwi, futhi usebenzisa izindlela eziningi ezehlukene zokusebenza ukuphelelisa umuntu. Noma ngabe ukucwengwa, ukusebenzelana, ukuthenwa, noma ukunikezwa amazwi, uNkulunkulu ukhuluma ngezindlela eziningi ukuze aphelelise umuntu, futhi anike umuntu ulwazi olukhulu ngomsebenzi, ubuhlakani nokumangalisa kukaNkulunkulu. … Ngike ngasho phambilini ukuthi iqembu labanqobi lizuzwe eMpumalanga, abanqobi abaphuma ekuhluphekeni okukhulu. Asho ukuthini lawa mazwi? Asho ukuthi laba bantu abazuziwe bahlonipha ngeqiniso ngemva kokwahlulelwa nokusolwa, ukusetshenzwa nokuthenwa, nazo zonke izinhlobo zokucwenga. Ukukholwa kwabantu abanjalo akufiphele futhi akukhona okucatshangwayo nje, kodwa kuyiqiniso. Ababonanga zimpawu nezimangaliso, noma naziphi izimanga; abakhulumi ngamagama nezimfundiso ezinzima, noma ngemibono ejulile; kunalokho baneqiniso, namazwi kaNkulunkulu, nolwazi lweqiniso likaNkulunkulu. Ingabe iqembu elinjengaleli akufanele liwenze acace amandla kaNkulunkulu?

43. Ngezinsuku zokugcina, uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ufike emhlabeni ikakhulukazi ukuze akhulume amazwi. Lapho uJesu efika, wasabalalisa ivangeli lombuso wasezulwini, futhi wafeza umsebenzi wokuhlengwa ngokubethelwa. Waletha isiphetho seNkathi Yomthetho, futhi wachitha zonke izinto ezindala. Ukufika kukaJesu kwaqeda iNkathi Yomthetho futhi kwaletha iNkathi Yomusa. Ukufika kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ezinsukwini zokugcina sekulethe isiphetho seNkathi Yomusa. Ufike ikakhulukazi ukuzokhuluma amazwi akhe, ukusebenzisa amazwi ukuphelelisa umuntu, ukukhanyisa nokukhanyisela umuntu, nokususa indawo kaNkulunkulu ongaqondakali enhliziyweni yomuntu. Lokhu akusona isigaba somsebenzi owenziwa nguJesu ngesikhathi efika. Lapho uJesu efika, wenza izimpawu eziningi, wasindisa abagulayo futhi wakhipha amadimoni, futhi wenza umsebenzi wokuhlenga ngokubethelwa. Ngenxa yalokho, emicabangweni yakhe, umuntu ukholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu kufanele abe njalo. Ngoba ngesikhathi uJesu efika, akawenzanga umsebenzi wokususa umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongacacile enhliziyweni yomuntu; lapho efika, wabethelwa, wasindisa abagulayo waphinde wakhipha amadimoni, futhi wasabalalisa ivangeli lombuso wasezulwini. Ohlangothini olulodwa, ukuthatha kukaNkulunkulu isimo somuntu ezinsukwini zokugcina kususa indawo ephethwe nguNkulunkulu ongacacile emicabangweni yabantu, ukuze ungabe usaba khona umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongacacile enhliziyweni yomuntu. Ngamazwi nomsebenzi wakhe uqobo, ukuhamba Kwakhe kuzo zonke izindawo nomsebenzi ongokoqobo nojwayeleke ngokumangazayo awenza phakathi kwabantu, wenza ukuthi umuntu azi ubunjalo bukaNkulunkulu, futhi asuse indawo kaNkulunkulu ongacacile enhliziyweni yomuntu. Kolunye uhlangothi, uNkulunkulu usebenzisa amazwi akhulunywa inyama Yakhe ukwenza umuntu aphelele, nokufeza zonke izinto. Lona umsebenzi uNkulunkulu azowufeza ezinsukwini zokugcina.

44. Ngezinsuku zokugcina, uNkulunkulu ufike ikakhulukazi ukuze akhulume amazwi akhe. Ukhuluma ngokweso likaMoya, ngokweso lomuntu, futhi nangokweso lomuntu wesithathu; Ukhuluma ngezindlela ezehlukene, esebenzisa indlela eyodwa ngesikhathi esithile, futhi asebenzise ezinye izindlela zokukhuluma ukuguquka imicabango yomuntu kanye nokususa umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongacacile enhliziyweni yomuntu. Lokhu iwona umsebenzi osemqoka owenziwa nguNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yokuthi umuntu ukholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufike ukuzosindisa abagulayo, ukukhipha amadimoni, ukwenza izimangaliso, kanye nokuletha izibusiso eziphathekayo kumuntu, uNkulunkulu wenza lesi sigaba somsebenzi–umsebenzi wokusola nokwahlulela—-ukuze asuse izinto ezinjalo emicabangweni yomuntu, ukuze umuntu azi ubunjalo kanye nokujwayeleka kukaNkulunkulu, futhi ukuze umfanekiso kaJesu ususwe enhliziyweni yakhe futhi indawo yawo ithathwe umfanekiso omusha kaNkulunkulu. Ngokushesha uma umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu kumuntu uba mdala, uphenduka isithixo. Ngesikhathi uJesu efika futhi enza leso sigaba somsebenzi, wayengamele ukuphelela kukaNkulunkulu. Wenza izimpawu nezimangaliso ezithile, wakhuluma amazwi athile, futhi wagcina ngokubethelwa, futhi wamela ingxenye eyodwa kaNkulunkulu. Wayengeke amele konke okungokukaNkulunkulu, kodwa wamela uNkulunkulu ngokwenza ingxenye eyodwa yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Lokhu yingoba uNkulunkulu mukhulu kakhulu, futhi uyamangalisa kakhulu, futhi akaqondakali, futhi ngoba uNkulunkulu wenza ingxenye eyodwa yomsebenzi wakhe enkathini ngayinye. Umsebenzi owenziwa nguNkulunkulu kule nkathi owokuhlinzeka ikakhulukazi amazwi empilo yomuntu; ukuvezwa kwesimo nengqikithi eyonakele yemvelo yomuntu; nokususwa kwemicabango yezenkolo, ukucabanga kwasemandulo, ukucabanga osekuphelelwe isikhathi, kanye nolwazi namasiko omuntu. Konke lokhu kufanele kunekwe obala futhi kuhlanzwe ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu. Ezinsukwini zokugcina, uNkulunkulu usebenzisa amazwi, hhayi izimpawu nezimangaliso, ukuphelelisa umuntu. Usebenzisa amazwi akhe ukudalula umuntu, ukwehlulela umuntu, ukusola umuntu futhi nokuphelelisa umuntu, ukuze emazwini kaNkulunkulu, umuntu aze abone ukuhlakanipha nobuhle bukaNkulunkulu, futhi aze abone isimo sikaNkulunkulu, ukuze ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu, umuntu abone izenzo zikaNkulunkulu. NgeNkathi Yomthetho, uJehova wahola uMose wamkhipha eGibhithe ngamazwi Akhe, futhi wakhuluma amazwi athile kuma-Israyeli; ngaleso sikhathi, ingxenye yezenzo zikaNkulunkulu yenziwa yacaca, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi izinga lomuntu lalilinganiselwe nje futhi yayingekho into eyayingenza ukuthi ulwazi lwakhe luphelele, uNkulunkulu waqhubeka wakhuluma futhi wasebenza. NgeNkathi Yomusa, umuntu waphinde wabona ingxenye yemisebenzi kaNkulunkulu. UJesu wakwazi ukwenza izimpawu nezimangaliso, ukusindisa abagulayo nokukhipha amadimoni, futhi wabethelwa, kwathi emuva kwezinsuku ezintathu wavuka wavela kubantu esenyameni. Abantu babengazi lutho olunye ngaphandle kwalokhu. Umuntu wazi kuphela lokho akukhonjiswa nguNkulunkulu, futhi ukuba uNkulunkulu wayengakhombisi lutho oluthe xaxa kumuntu, umuntu wayengagcina kulelo zinga lokuqonda uNkulunkulu. Ngakho, uNkulunkulu uyaqhubeka ukusebenza, khona ulwazi lomuntu ngaye lungaya lujula, futhi ukuze aye ngokuya efinyelela ekwazini ubunjalo bukaNkulunkulu. Ezinsukwini zokugcina, uNkulunkulu usebenzisa amazwi akhe ukuphelelisa umuntu. Isimo sakho esonakele sivezwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu, kanti nemicabango yakho yenkolo ithathelwa indawo yiqiniso likaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ezinsukwini zokugcina ufike ikakhulukazi ukugcwalisa amazwi athi “uLizwi waba yinyama, uLizwi ufika enyameni, futhi uLizwi uvela esenyameni,” futhi uma ungenalo ulwazi oluphelele ngalokhu, uzolokhu ungakwazi ukuma uqine. Ezinsukwini zokugcina, uNkulunkulu ufuna ikakhulukazi ukufeza isigaba somsebenzi lapho uLizwi evela esenyameni, futhi lokhu ingxenye yohlelo lukaNkulunkulu lokuphatha.

45. Emsebenzini wezinsuku zokugcina, izwi linamandla amakhulu kunokuvezwa kwezibonakaliso nezimangaliso futhi igunya lezwi lingcono kunelezibonakaliso nezimangaliso. Izwi lembula zonke izimo zenkohlakalo ezisenhliziyweni yomuntu. Awukwazi ukuzibonela zona. Lapho zibonakaliswa kini ngezwi, niyobe senizibona ngokwemvelo; ngeke nikwazi ukuziphika, kunalokho niyokholwa ngokuphelele. Ingabe akusilo igunya lezwi leli? Lona ngumphumela womsebenzi wanamuhla wezwi. Ngakho, umuntu akakwazi ukusindiswa ezonweni zakhe ngokugcwele ngokuphulukisa abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni futhi angeke enziwe aphelele ngokwambulwa kwezibonakaliso nezimangaliso. Igunya lokuphulukisa nelokuxosha amadimoni limnikeza umusa kuphela umuntu kodwa inyama yomuntu isengekaSathane futhi isimo esonakele sobusathane sisekumuntu. Ngamanye amazwi, lokho okungakahlanzwa kusengokwesono nokungcola. Kungemuva kokuba umuntu esehlanziwe ngamazwi kuphela lapho engazuzwa nguNkulunkulu futhi angcweliswe.

46. Lesi sigaba somsebenzi sizokukhanyisela umthetho kaJehova kanye nokuhlenga kukaJesu, futhi sibalulekile ukuze uqonde wonke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wohlelo lokuphatha lweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, nokuthi wazise konke ukubaluleka kanye nengqikithi yale minyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha yohlelo lokuphatha ukuze futhi uqonde inhloso yawo wonke umsebenzi owenziwa nguJesu kanye namazwi awakhuluma, kanye ngisho nokukholwa kwakho nokuthanda kwakho iBhayibheli. Konke lokhu kuzokwenza ukuba uqonde ngokugcwele. Uzowuqonda umsebenzi owenziwe uJesu kanye nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu namuhla; uzoliqonda futhi ulazi lonke iqiniso, ukuphila nendlela. Esigabeni somsebenzi owenziwa uJesu, kungani uJesu ahamba ngaphandle kokwenza umsebenzi wokuphetha? Kungenxa yokuthi isigaba somsebenzi kaJesu sasingewona umsebenzi wesiphetho. Lapho ebethelwa esiphambanweni, amazwi Akhe nawo afika ekugcineni; ngemva kokubethelwa Kwakhe, umsebenzi Wakhe wawusuqedwe ngokuphelele. Isigaba esikuso manje sihlukile: Kuyoba kuphela ngemva kokuba amazwi esekhulunywe kwaze kwaba sekugcineni nomsebenzi wonke kaNkulunkulu usuphothuliwe, lapho umsebenzi Wakhe uyoqedwa khona. Phakathi nesigaba sikaJesu somsebenzi, maningi amazwi agcina engashiwongo noma angaphiniyiswanga ngokugcwele. Kodwa uJesu akakhathazekanga ngalokho akusho noma angakushongo, ngoba inkonzo Yakhe kwakungeyona inkonzo yamazwi ngakho ngemva kokubethelwa esiphambanweni wahamba. Leso sigaba somsebenzi ikakhulu sasingenxa yokubethelwa, futhi asifani nhlobo nesigaba sanamuhla. Lesi sigaba somsebenzi ikakhulu simayelana nokuqedwa, ukucaciswa kanye nokufinyelelisa wonke umsebenzi esiphethweni. Uma amazwi engakhulunywanga kwaze kwaba sekupheleni kwawo, ngeke ibe khona indlela yokuphetha lo msebenzi ngoba kulesi sigaba somsebenzi wonke umsebenzi ufikiswa ekugcineni futhi ufezwa ngokusebenzisa amazwi. Ngaleso sikhathi, uJesu wenza umsebenzi omningi ongaqondakali kumuntu. Wahamba ngokuthula futhi namuhla baningi abangawaqondi amazwi Akhe, labo abanokuqonda okuyiphutha kodwa ababesakholwa ukuthi baneqiniso, abangazi ukuthi baphambukile. Ekugcineni, lesi sigaba sanamuhla sizofikisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ekugcineni okuphelele, futhi silethe isiphetho sawo. Bonke bayoluqonda futhi balwazi kahle uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu lokuphatha. Imibono ekumuntu, izinhloso zakhe, ukuqonda kwakhe okuyiphutha, imicabango yakhe ngomsebenzi kaJehova noJesu, imibono yakhe ngokuqondene nabeZizwe, nakho konke okunye ukuphambuka namaphutha akhe kuyolungiswa. Umuntu uyoziqonda zonke izindlela ezifanele zokuphila nawo wonke umsebenzi owenziwe nguNkulunkulu nalo lonke iqiniso. Lapho lokhu kwenzeka, lesi sigaba somsebenzi sizophela.

47. Uma abantu begcina eNkathini Yomusa, kusho ukuthi ngeke bakhululeke esimweni sabo senkohlakalo, angiyiphathi eyokwazi isimo sikaNkulunkulu ngokwendalo Yakhe. Uma abantu benale nala yomusa kodwa bengenayo indlela yokuphila ebenza bazi uNkulunkulu futhi banelise uNkulunkulu, lokho kusho ukuthi ngeke bamzuze Yena yize bekholelwa Kuye. Lolo uhlobo lokukholwa oludabukisayo. Uma usuqedile ukufunda le ncwadi, uma usuzibonile zonke izinyathelo zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osenyameni eNkathini Yombuso, uzozwa ukuthi amathemba eminyaka eminingi aseyabonakala. Uzozwa ukuthi kumanje kuphela lapho osubone khona uNkulunkulu ubuso nobuso; kumanje kuphela lapho ubheke khona ubuso bukaNkulunkulu, uzwe ukukhuluma kukaNkulunkulu, uthokozele ubuhlakani bomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, uzwe ngempela ukuthi unguNkulunkulu oyiqiniso futhi umninimandla onke. Nizozwa ukuthi senizuze izinto eziningi abantu benkathi edlule abangazange bakubona noma baba nakho. Ngalesi sikhathi, nizokwazi kahle ukuthi kuyini ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu, nokuthi kuyini ukufuna inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu. Yebo, uma ninamathela emibonweni yakudala, nichithe noma niphike iqiniso likaNkulunkulu wenyama wesibili, kusho ukuthi nizosala ningenalutho ningatholanga lutho, ekugcineni nibe necala lokuphikisa uNkulunkulu. Labo abahlonipha iqiniso bazithobe emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu bazongena ngaphansi kwegama likaNkulunkulu osenyameni okwesibili–uSomandla. Bazokwazi ukwamukela ukuholwa nguNkulunkulu, futhi bazothola okuningi neqiniso eliphakeme bathole nokuphila okuyiqiniso kwabantu. Bazobona umbono ongakaze ubonwe ngabantu bakudala: “Ngase ngiphenduka ngiqalaza leliphimbo elalikhuluma nami. Futhi lapho ngiphenduka, ngase ngibona izinduku zamakhandlela zegolide eziyisikhombisa; Futhi phakathi kwezinduku zamakhandlela ayisikhombisa kunofana neNdodana yomuntu, ombethe ingubo efinyelela ezinyaweni, futhi ebophe isifuba ngebhade legolide. Ikhanda Lakhe nezinwele Zakhe zimhlophe kuhle kukavolo, zimhlophe kuhle kweqhwa; namehlo Akhe enjengelangabi lomlilo; Nezinyawo Zakhe zinjengethusi elicolekile, engathi zibaswe esithandweni somlilo; nephimbo Lakhe linjengamanzi amaningi. Futhi ephethe ngakwesokudla izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa: futhi emlonyeni Wakhe kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali nhlangothi zombili: nobuso Bakhe bunjengokukhanya okuphele kwelanga” (IsAmbulo 1:12-16). Lo mbono ubonakalisa isimo esiphelele sikaNkulunkulu, kanti futhi umbono onjengalona wesimo Sakhe esiphelele ubonakalisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uma eba yinyama ngalesi sikhathi. Ezikhukhuleni zokujezisa nokwahlulela, iNdodana yomuntu ibonakalisa isimo Sayo semvelo ngokukhuluma amazwi, ukuze bonke abemukela ukusola nokwahlulela Kwakhe babone ubuso beqiniso beNdodana yomuntu, ubuso obuyisibonakaliso esiyiqiniso sobuso beNdodana yomuntu obabonwa nguJohane. (Yebo, konke lokhu ngeke kubonakale kulabo abangawemukeli umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu eNkathini Yombuso.) Ubuso beqiniso bukaNkulunkulu ngeke buchazeke kahle ngamagama omuntu, ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu usebenzisa ukubonakalisa isimo Sakhe semvelo ukukhombisa abantu ubuso Bakhe beqiniso. Okungukuthi bonke labo ababone isimo semvelo seNdodana yomuntu babubonile ubuso beqiniso beNdodana yomuntu, ngoba uNkulunkulu mkhulu kakhulu futhi ngeke achazeke ngamagama abantu. Uma abantu sebesibonile isinyathelo ngasinye somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu eNkathini Yombuso, bayobe sebeyazi incazelo eyiqiniso yamazwi uJohane awakhuluma eNdodaneni yomuntu phakathi kwezibani: “Ikhanda Lakhe nezinwele Zakhe zimhlophe kuhle kukavolo, zimhlophe kuhle kweqhwa; namehlo Akhe enjengelangabi lomlilo; Nezinyawo Zakhe zinjengethusi elicolekile, engathi zibaswe esithandweni somlilo; nephimbo Lakhe linjengamanzi amaningi. Futhi ephethe ngakwesokudla izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa: futhi emlonyeni Wakhe kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali nhlangothi zombili: nobuso Bakhe bunjengokukhanya okuphele kwelanga.”

48. Kungani umsebenzi wokunqoba uyisigaba sokugcina? Awukhona yini ukuvezwa kwesigaba ngasinye umuntu ayophelela kuso? Awukhona yini ukuvumela wonke umuntu, enkambweni yomsebenzi wokunqoba wokusola nokwahlulela, ukuvezwa kobunjalo bangempela kanye nokuhlelwa ngokwezinhlobo kamuva? Kunokuthi lokhu ukunqoba isintu, kungaba ngcono ukuthi lokhu kuveza ukuthi isigaba ngasinye somuntu siyophelelaphi. Lokho kusho ukuthi, lokhu kuwukwahlulela izono zabo nokuveza izigaba ezihlukahlukene zabantu, kunqunywe ngaleyo ndlela ukuthi babi noma balungile. Ngemva komsebenzi wokunqoba kulandela umsebenzi wokuklomelisa abalungile nokujezisa ababi: Abantu abalalela ngokugcwele, okusho ukuthi abanqotshwe ngokugcwele, bayobekwa esigabeni esilandelayo sokusakaza umsebenzi endaweni yonke; abanganqotshiwe bayobekwa ebumnyameni futhi bayobhekana nenhlekelele. Ngakho abantu bayohlukaniswa ngokohlobo lwabo, abenzi bokubi bayokwenziwa iqembu lezikhohlakali, bangaphinde futhi babone ukukhanya kwelanga, nabenzi bokuhle bayokwenziwa iqembu labalungile, ukuze bathole ukukhanya futhi baphile phakade ekukhanyeni. Ukuphela kwazo zonke izinto sekuseduze, ukuphela komuntu kucaciswe kwakhanya bha emehlweni akhe, futhi zonke izinto ziyobekwa ngezinhlobo zazo. Ngakho abantu bangakwazi kanjani ukuphunyuka kulokhu? Ukwembulwa kokuphela kwesigaba ngasinye somuntu kuphela lapho ukuphela kwazo zonke izinto sekuseduze, futhi kuphela phakathi nomsebenzi wokunqoba indawo yonke (okubandakanya wonke umsebenzi wokunqoba oqala ngomsebenzi wamanje). Lokhu kwembulwa kokuphela kwaso sonke isintu kwenziwa phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela, ngendlela yokusola, nangendlela yomsebenzi wokunqoba wezinsuku zokugcina.

Izinsuku zokugcina yilapho zonke izinto ziyohlukaniswa khona ngokwezinhlobo ngokunqoba. Ukunqoba umsebenzi wezinsuku zokugcina; ngamanye amazwi, ukwahlulela isono somuntu ngamunye kuwumsebenzi wezinsuku zokugcina. Ngaphandle kwalokho, abantu bangahlukaniswa kanjani? Umsebenzi wokwahlukanisa owenziwa phakathi kwenu uyisiqalo salowo msebenzi kuyo yonke indawo. Ngemva kwalokhu, labo abawo wonke amazwe nazo zonke izizwe nabo bayowuzwa umsebenzi wokunqoba. Lokhu kusho ukuthi wonke umuntu endalweni uyohlukaniswa ngokohlobo lwakhe, eza phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulelwa ukuze ahlulelwe. Akekho umuntu noma into engaphunyuka kulokhu kusolwa, futhi akekho ongagwema lokhu kuhlukaniswa ngezinhlobo; bonke bayobekwa ngokwezigaba zabo. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi sekuseduze ukuba zonke izinto nawo wonke amazulu nomhlaba kufike ekupheleni kwakho. Umuntu angaphunyuka kanjani ekupheleni kokuba khona kwakhe?

49. Isigaba sezinsuku zokugcina, lapho umuntu ezonqotshwa khona, isigaba sokugcina sempi noSathane, kanti futhi umsebenzi wokusindiswa okuphelele komuntu emandleni kaSathane. Incazelo yangaphakathi yokunqotshwa komuntu ukubuya kokusamuntu kukaSathane, umuntu owonakaliswe nguSathane, kuMdali, emuva kokunqotshwa kwakhe, ngalokho uyoshiya uSathane futhi abuyele ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu. Ngale ndlela umuntu uyobe esesindisiwe ngokuphelele. Ngakho, umsebenzi wokunqoba umsebenzi wokugcina empini ebhekene noSathane, kanye nesigaba sokugcina ekuphatheni kukaNkulunkulu ukuze kuhlulwe uSathane. Ngaphandle kwalo msebenzi, ukusindiswa komuntu okuphelele bekungeke kwenzeke neze ekugcineni, ukuhlulwa ngokuphelele kukaSathane nakho bekungeke kwenzeke neze, futhi isintu besingeke neze sikwazi ukungena esiphethweni esimangalisayo, noma ukukhululeka ethonyeni likaSathane. Ngenxa yalokho, umsebenzi wokusindiswa komuntu ngeke uphethwe ngaphambi kukuthi impi noSathane iphethwe, ngoba umnyombo womsebenzi wokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu ungenxa yokusindiswa kwesintu. Isintu sasekuqaleni sasisezandleni zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngenxa yokulingwa nguSathane nokonakaliswa, umuntu waboshwa nguSathane futhi wawela ezandleni zomubi. Ngakho, uSathane waba yinto okufanele yehlulwe emsebenzini wokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba uSathane wamngena umuntu, nangenxa yokuthi umuntu uwumsebenzi wokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu, uma umuntu ezosindiswa, kufanele ahlwithwe ezandleni zikaSathane, okusho ukuthi umuntu kufanele abuyiswe emva kokuthunjwa nguSathane. Ngalokhu, uSathane kufanele anqotshwe ngezinguquko esimweni somuntu esidala, izinguquko ezibuyisela umqondo wakhe wokuqala, bese ngale ndlela, umuntu, obethunjiwe, ehlwithwa ezandleni zikaSathane. Uma umuntu ekhululiwe ethonyeni nokuboshwa nguSathane, uSathane uyojabhiswa, umuntu ekugcineni uyobuyiselwa emuva, futhi uSathane uyohlulwa. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi umuntu usekhululiwe ethonyeni elimnyama likaSathane, umuntu uyoba impango yayo yonke lempi, futhi uSathane uyoba umenziwa oyojeziswa uma lempi seyiphelile, emuva kwalokho umsebenzi usuwonkana wokusindiswa komuntu uyobe usuqediwe.

Labo abakwazi ukuma baqine phakathi nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokwahlulela nokusola phakathi nezinsuku zokugcina—okungukuthi, phakathi nomsebenzi wokugcina wokuhlanza—kuyoba yilabo abayongena ekuphumuleni kokugcina kanye noNkulunkulu; ngakho, labo abangena ekuphumuleni bayobe bekhululiwe ethonyeni likaSathane futhi bayobe bezuzwe uNkulunkulu ngemva kokudlula kwabo emsebenzini Wakhe wokuhlanza wokugcina. Laba bantu abazuzwe uNkulunkulu bayongena ekuphumuleni kokugcina. Isici somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokusola nokwahlulela ukuhlanza isintu, futhi usuku lokuphumula kokugcina. Ngale kwalokho, bonke abantu ngeke bekwazi ukulandela uhlobo lwabo noma ukungena ekuphumuleni. Lo msebenzi uwukuphela kwendlela yokungena kwesintu ekuphumuleni. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuhlanza kuphela oyohlanza isintu ekungalungini kwaso, futhi umsebenzi Wakhe wokusola nokwahlulela kuphela oyoveza lezo zinto zokungalaleli phakathi kwesintu, ngalokho wehlukanise labo abangasindiswa kulabo abangeke basindiswe, nalabo abayosala kulabo abangeke basale. Lapho lo msebenzi uphela, labo abayovunyelwa ukuba basale bayohlanzwa bonke futhi bangene esimweni sobuntu esiphakeme ngokwengeziwe lapho beyojabulela khona ukuphila kwabantu kwesibili okumangalisa ngokwengeziwe emhlabeni; ngamanye amazwi, bayongena osukwini lokuphumula lwabantu, baphile noNkulunkulu. Ngemva kokuba labo abangeke basale sebesoliwe futhi bahlulelwa, imikhuba yabo ababeyenza iyokwembulwa ngokuphelele; ngemva kwalokho bayobhujiswa njengoSathane, ngeke baphinde bavunyelwe ukuba baphile emhlabeni. Isintu sakusasa ngeke sibe nohlobo olunjena lwabantu; laba bantu abakulungele ukungena ezweni lokuphumula, futhi abakulungele ukungena osukwini lokuphumula uNkulunkulu ayolujabulela nabantu, ngoba kuhloswe ukuthi bajeziswe futhi babi, ababona abantu abalungile. Bake batakulwa, baphinde bahlulelwa futhi basolwa; bake banikela inkonzo kuNkulunkulu umsebenzi, kodwa lapho kufika usuku lokugcina, bayoqothulwa futhi babhujiswe ngenxa yokukhohlakala kwabo nangenxa yokungalaleli kwabo futhi abanakuphinde batakulwe. Ngeke baphinde baphile emhlabeni esikhathini esizayo, futhi ngeke baphile nohlanga lwesintu lwesikhathi esizayo. Noma yibaphi abenza okubi nabangasindiswanga bayobhujiswa lapho abangcwele phakathi kwesintu bengena ekuphumuleni, kungakhathaleki ukuthi bashonile noma bayaphila. Akunandaba ukuthi baphila kuyiphi inkathi laba bantu abenza okubi, noma imimoya yabalungile nalabo abenza ukulunga, bonke abenza okubi bayobhujiswa, futhi bonke abantu abalungile bayosindiswa. Ukuthi umuntu noma umoya uyasindiswa noma cha, akuncikile ngokuphelele emsebenzini awenza esekhulile, kodwa kunqunywa ukuthi bamenqaba yini noma bamphika uNkulunkulu. Uma abantu benza okubi enkathini eyedlule, futhi bengashintshi izindlela zabo, nakanjani bayoba izisulu zesijeziso. Uma abantu kule nkathi benza okubi futhi bengashintshi izindlela zabo, nakanjani nabo bayizisulu zokujeziswa. Abantu bahlukene phakathi ngenxa yokulungile nokubi, hhayi ngenxa yenkathi abaphila kuyo. Uma beke bahlukaniswa ngenxa yokulungile nokubi, abantu abajeziswa noma bathole umvuzo ngokushesha; kunalokho, uNkulunkulu uyokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe wokujezisa ububi nokuklomelisa ukulunga ngemva kokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe wokunqoba ezinsukwini zokugcina. Empeleni, ubelokhu esebenzisa okulungile nokubi ukuze ahlukanise isintu, kusukela ngesikhathi enza ngaso umsebenzi Wakhe phakathi kwesintu. Uyomane abusise olungile futhi ajezise omubi lapho eqeda umsebenzi Wakhe, esikhundleni sokuhlukanisa ababi nabalungile lapho eseqeda umsebenzi Wakhe ekugcineni, uyobe eselandela ngokushesha nesu lokujezisa ababi anike abalungile umvuzo. Umsebenzi Wakhe wasekugcineni wokujezisa ababi nokunika abalungile umvuzo wenziwa ukuze kuhlanzwe ngokuphelele sonke isintu, ukuze alethe ukuphumula kwaphakade kuso sonke isintu esingcwele. Lesi sigaba somsebenzi Wakhe siwumsebenzi obucayi kakhulu. Siyisigaba sokugcina sawo wonke umsebenzi Wakhe wokuqondisa.
