Liyini ‘Lelive’

11. Siphrofetho saHezekeli silichaza njani “live” lelitawuhlaselwa nguGogi?

¹¹ Njengobe sifundzile esigabeni 3, Gogi wakaMagogi utawuvusa intfukutselo yaJehova lenkhulu ngekutsi ahlasele live leliligugu kuJehova. Liyini lelive? Asibuyele esiphrofethweni saHezekeli. (Fundza Hezekeli 38:8-12.) Lesiphrofetho sitsi Gogi “utawuhlasela live bantfu balo lababuyisiwe,” kanye nesive “lesibuyiswe etiveni.” Naka naloko lesikushoko mayelana netikhonti letibuyiselwe kulelive futsi letihlala kulo: ‘tihlala ngekulondzeka’; tihlala etindzaweni “letite lubondza lwekuvikela, nemishudo kanye nemagede”; futsi ‘tandzise umcebo wato.’ Leli ngulelive lelihlala tikhonti taJehova letihlantekile emhlabeni wonkhe. Singalibona kanjani lelive?

12. Ngukuphi kubuyiselwa lokwenteka eveni laka-Israyeli ngetikhatsi teliBhayibheli?

¹² Kutasisita kuhlolisisa kubuyiselwa lokwenteka ka-Israyeli wasendvulo, lebekulive lelihlala bantfu baNkulunkulu labakhetsiwe, basebenta futsi bakhontela Nkulunkulu kulo iminyaka leminyenti. Ngesikhatsi ema-Israyeli akhombisa kutsi aketsembeki, Jehova wasebentisa Hezekeli kuze aphrofethe kutsi lelive belitawubhujiswa futsi kube bete lohlala kulo. (Hez. 33:27-29) Nobe kunjalo, Jehova waphindze waphrofetha kutsi ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi labasele lebebaphendvukile bebatawubuya eBhabhulona futsi bafike babuyisele kukhonta lokuhlantekile kulelive. Ngenca yekutsi belitawubusiswa nguJehova, lelive laka-Israyeli belitawushintjwa libe lihle “njengengadze yase-Edeni.” (Hez. 36:34-36) Lokubuyiselwa kwacala nga-537 B.C.E., ngesikhatsi emaJuda lebekatfunjiwe abuyela eJerusalema futsi abuyisela kukhonta kweliciniso eveni lawo lebekalitsandza.

13, 14. (a) Liyini live laNkulunkulu? (b) Kungani lelive liligugu kuJehova?

¹³ Esikhatsini salamuhla, tikhonti taNkulunkulu letihlantekile nato tabuyiselwa ngendlela lefanako. Njengobe sifundzile eSehlukweni 9 salencwadzi, nga-1919 bantfu baNkulunkulu bakhululwa ekutfunjweni yiBhabhulona Lenkhulu lebesekutsetse sikhatsi lesidze. Ngaloyo mnyaka, Jehova wabuyisela bantfu bakhe eveni lakhe. Lelo live lisho umndeni waNkulunkulu, lokusho simo sekutiva ulondzekile nobe sekuba nebuhlobo lobuhle naNkulunkulu lesijatjulelwa ngulabo labamkhontako. Kulelo live, sihleti ndzawonye ngekulondzeka futsi sinekuthula kwengcondvo. (Taga 1:33) Sitfola imfundvo lenyenti levela kuNkulunkulu, futsi sinemsebenti lomnyenti losenetisako wekumemetela ngeMbuso waNkulunkulu. Sibona ngalokucacile kutsi siliciniso lesaga lesitsi: “Sibusiso saJehova ngiso lesenta umuntfu anjinge, futsi akamletseli buhlungu etikwaso.” (Taga 10:22) Ngisho nobe sihlala kuphi emhlabeni, sikulelive laNkulunkulu lelakhiwa ngumndeni wakhe, yingci nje nasisekela kukhonta lokuhlantekile ngemavi nangetento.

¹⁴ Lelive liligugu kuJehova. Kungani? Kungobe emehlweni akhe, bantfu bakhona bafana netintfo “letiligugu tato tonkhe tive,” lokubantfu labadvonsele ekukhonteni lokuhlantekile. (Hag. 2:7; Joh. 6:44) Betama ngekutimisela kugcoka buntfu lobusha, lobuveta buntfu baNkulunkulu lobuphakeme. (Ef. 4:23, 24; 5:1, 2) Njengobe batikhonti letihlantekile, batinikela ngalokuphelele emsebentini waJehova, futsi loko bakwenta ngetindlela letimkhatimulisako naletiveta indlela labamtsandza ngayo. (Rom. 12:1, 2; 1 Joh. 5:3) Singacabanga nje ngendlela Jehova lajabula ngayo nakabona tikhonti takhe tisebenta ngekutimisela kute tente lelive libe lihle kakhulu. Cabanga nje: Nawenta kukhonta lokuhlantekile kute kucala ekuphileni kwakho, awugcini nje ngekwenta lelive laNkulunkulu kutsi libe lihle, kepha uphindze ujabulise nenhlitiyo yaJehova.—Taga 27:11.

¹⁶ Gogi wakaMagogi utalihlasela nini lelive letfu lelibuyiselwe? Lesiphrofetho siyaphendvula: “Encenyeni yekugcina yeminyaka wena utawuhlasela live.” (Hez. 38:8) Loku kutawenteka esikhatsini lesingasekupheleni kwalelive. Khumbula kutsi kuhlupheka lokukhulu kutawucala ngekutsi kubhujiswe iBhabhulona Lenkhulu, lokungumbuso welive wenkholo yemanga. Ngemuva kwekutsi tinhlangano tenkholo yemanga setibhujisiwe, nangaphambi kwekutsi kucale i-Amagedoni, Gogi utawuphuma liwonkhe, atihlasele kwekugcina tikhonti teliciniso.
