Wena uligugu kakhulu.—Dan. 9:23.
Umphrofethi Danyela bekalijaha ngesikhatsi baseBhabhulona bamtfumba, bamsusa eveni lakubo. Kodvwa kusebaleni kutsi bamtsandza. Babona loko “lokubonakala ngephandle,” kutsi Danyela ‘akanasici, ubukeka kahle’ nekutsi uchamuka emndenini lobalulekile. (1 Sam. 16:7) Ngenca yaloko, bamcecesha kutsi abe ngumuntfu lobalulekile emmangweni. (Dan. 1:3, 4, 6) Jehova wamtsandza Danyela, ngenca yeluhlobo lwemuntfu lelijaha lelakhetsa kuba ngilo. Ecinisweni, kusenekwenteka Danyela bekaseminyakeni yabo-20 ngesikhatsi Jehova akhuluma kahle ngaye, ambala naNowa naJobe, emadvodza lacitsa iminyaka leminyenti atakhela ligama lelihle naNkulunkulu. (Gen. 5:32; 6:9, 10; Jobe 42:16, 17; Hez. 14:14) Jehova wachubeka amtsandza Danyela kuko konkhe kuphila kwakhe.—Dan. 10:11, 19. w23.08 2 ¶1-2

Condzisisa bubanti, budze, kuphakama, kanye nekujula.—Ef. 3:18.
Nawufuna kutsenga indlu, ungatsandza kubona konkhe ngalendlu lofuna kuyitsenga. Singenta lokufanako nangalapho sifundza liBhayibheli futsi silidadisha. Nawufundza ngekushesha, ungahle ugcine ngekwati emaciniso lasisekelo, ‘lokutintfo letimelula temavi aNkulunkulu.’ (Heb. 5:12) Kodvwa njengobe kudzingeka kutsi ungene ngekhatsi kulendlu kuze ubone tintfo letinyenti ngayo, kufanele ulifundze ngekucophelela liBhayibheli kuze ulicondze kahle. Indlela lekahle yekudadisha liBhayibheli kubuka kutsi tintfo lelitisho kulenye indzawo tihlangana njani nalelitisho kulenye indzawo. Yetama kucondza emaciniso lowakholelwako nekutsi yini lekwenta uwakholelwe. Kuze silicondze kahle lonkhe liVi laNkulunkulu, kufanele sifundze emaciniso lajulile lakulo. Umphostoli Pawula wakhutsata bazalwane bakhe nabodzadze kutsi balidadishe ngekucophelela kuze bakwati “kubucondzisisa bubanti, budze, kuphakama, kanye nekujula” kweliciniso. Nabenta njalo, ‘bebatawucina futsi basime’ ekukholweni. (Ef. 3:14-19) Natsi kufanele sente lokufanako. w23.10 18 ¶1-3

Bazalwane, lingisani sibonelo sebaphrofethi lebebakhuluma egameni laJehova, labahlupheka ngetindlela letinyenti futsi babeketela.—Jak. 5:10.
LiBhayibheli linetibonelo letinyenti tebantfu lababeketela. Tinike sikhatsi sekucwaninga ngaletibonelo. Sibonelo nje, nanobe Davide agcotjwa asemncane kutsi utawuba yinkhosi yaka-Israyeli, kwadzingeka kutsi alindze iminyaka leminyenti ngaphambi kwekutsi acale kubusa. Simeyoni na-Ana bakhonta Jehova ngekwetsembeka njengobe bebasalindzele Mesiya. (Luk. 2:25, 36-38) Njengobe usafundza ngaletibonelo, yetama kuphendvula nayi imibuto: Yini lokungenteka yasita lomuntfu kutsi abeketele? Kwamsita njani kubeketela? Ngingamlingisa njani? Kungakusita nekufundza ngalabo labangazange babeketele. (1 Sam. 13:8-14) Ungatibuta: ‘Yini lokungenteka yenta bangabeketeli? Ngumiphi imiphumela lababhekana nayo?’ w23.08 25 ¶15
