10. Ngiziphi iimbonelo esinazo zabantu bakaZimu abangakhenge baphule imithethwakhe ngitjho nanyana kubudisi, begodu yini eyabapha amandla wokwenza njalo?

¹⁰ Encwadini yamaHebheru isahluko se-11 umpostoli uPowula ukhuluma ngeenlingo abantu bakaZimu abazibekezelelako ngitjho nanyana angakhenge awatjho amabizwabo. Isibonelo salokho ngesomma obekanokukholwa okuqinileko owahlongakalelwa madodanakhe amabili kodwana avuswa ngokukhamba kwesikhathi. Wabuye wakhuluma ngabanye godu wathi “akhange bavume ukuthukululwa ukuze bazuze ukuvuka okuhle.” (Heb. 11:35) Iqiniso kukuthi asazi ukuthi uPowula bekakhuluma ngabobani kodwana kungenzeka bekacabanga ngabantu abanjengoNabhothi, noZakariya, abaye bakhandwa ngamatje bebafa ngebanga lokufuna kwabo ukulalela uZimu nokwenza intadwakhe. (1 Kho. 21:3, 15; 2 Kron. 24:20, 21) Singamlibali uDanyela nabangani bakhe, bona-ke bekulula ngabo ukuthi “bavume ukuthukululwa” ngokuthi baphule imithetho kaZimu. Koke kwenziwa kukholelwa kwabo emandleni kaZimu, amandla kaZimu lawo abenza bakghona ‘ukuvala imilomo yamabhubezi’ begodu “bacima imililo evutha ngamandla.”—Heb. 11:33, 34; Dan. 3:16-18, 20, 28; 6:13, 16, 21-23.

12. Ngubani osibonelo esizidlula zoke sokubekezelela iinlingo, begodu yini eyamsiza wakghona ukwenza njalo?

¹² UPowula wathi nakaqeda ukukhuluma ngabomma nabobaba abanokukholwa, wakhuluma godu nangesibonelo esizidlula zoke, seKosi uJesu Krestu. AmaHebheru 12:2 athi “esikhundleni setokozo ebe ibekwe phambi kwakhe, wanyamezelela [isigodo sokuhlutjhwa] angakhathaleli ukurhubutjhwa; uhlezi ngesidleni sesihlalo sobukhosi sakaZimu.” Kungebangelo kufanele ‘simyelele’ uJesu njengombana asibonelo sokukholwa, kazi wabekezela lokha nakaqalene neenlingo. (Funda amaHebheru 12:3.) AmaKrestu aba bongazimbi njengoJesu, isibonelo salokho mfundi u-Antiphasi owala wabetha ngenyawo phasi ukuphula imithetho kaZimu ngitjho nanyana kubudisi. (IsAm. 2:13) Bebazokuvuzwa khulu ngokwenza njalo, phela bebazokuvuswa baye ezulwini bafumane “ukuvuka okuhle” okukuvuka boke abantu abathembikileko bekadeni ebebakulindele. (Heb. 11:35) Kwathi ngemva kwesikhatjhana umBuso kaZimu ubelethiwe ngo-1914, woke amaKrestu akhethiweko anjengalawo avuswa ekufeni. Baya ezulwini ukuze bayokubusa noJesu embuswenakhe babuse abantu.—IsAm. 20:4.
