      JEHOVA NKULUNKULU watsi: “Lizulu lisihlalo sami sebukhosi, umhlaba usenabelo setinyawo tami.” (Isaya 66:1) Nkulunkulu abekhuluma ‘ngesenabelo setinyawo takhe’ nakatsi: “Ngiyakuyikhatimulisa indzawo yetinyawo tami.” (Isaya 60:13) Usikhatimulisa njani senabelo setinyawo takhe, nobe asente sibe sihle? Futsi loko kusho kutsini ngalabo labaphila emhlabeni, losenabelo setinyawo takhe?

      2 EmiBhalweni yesiHebheru emavi latsi ‘senabelo setinyawo’ aphindze asetjentiswe nakuchazwa lithempeli laka-Israyeli wasendvulo. (1 Tikhronike 28:2; Tihlabelelo 132:7) Lelithempeli belilihle kakhulu kuJehova ngobe laliyindzawo leyinhloko yekukhonta kweliciniso. Lalisetjentiselwa nekukhatimulisa Jehova emhlabeni.

Lililungiselelo lakhe lelenta bantfu kutsi babe bangani bakhe futsi bamkhonte. Lelilungiselelo likhona ngesizatfu senhlawulo yaJesu. Lacala nga-29 C.E. ngesikhatsi Jesu abhajatiswa futsi agcotjwa njengemPhristi Lophakeme welithempeli laNkulunkulu.​—Hebheru 9:11, 12.

      Bantfu baJehova kufanele bamdvumise nyalo khona lapha emhlabeni

      4, 5. (a) Ngekusho kweTihlabelelo 99, yini tikhonti taJehova teliciniso letifuna kuyenta? (b) Ngumuphi umbuto lokufanele sitibute wona?

      4 Sijabula kakhulu ngelilungiselelo laNkulunkulu lekukhonta kweliciniso. Sikhombisa kubonga kwetfu ngekutsi sitjele labanye ngelibito laJehova nangesipho sakhe lesihle senhlawulo. Sijabula kakhulu nangekutsi kunemaKhristu eliciniso langetulu kwetigidzi letisiphohlongo ladvumisa Jehova onkhe emalanga. Njengobe bantfu labanyenti labasenkholweni yemanga bacabanga kutsi batawudvumisa Nkulunkulu ezulwini ngemuva kwekufa kwabo, bantfu baJehova bayayati indlela lokubaluleke ngayo kumdvumisa nyalo khona lapha emhlabeni.

      5 Nasidvumisa Jehova, sisuke silingisa sibonelo setinceku taNkulunkulu letetsembekile letichazwa kuTihlabelelo 99:1-3, 5. (Fundza.) Emadvodza letsembekile lafaka ekhatsi Mosi, Aroni kanye naSamuweli alisekela ngalokugcwele lilungiselelo laNkulunkulu lekukhonta kweliciniso esikhatsini lesendlulile. (Tihlabelelo 99:6, 7) Ngaphambi kwekutsi labagcotjiwe labasesemhlabeni bakhonte njengebaphristi naJesu ezulwini, ngekwetsembeka bakhonta Jehova eluhlangotsini lolusemhlabeni lwalelithempeli laNkulunkulu lamuhla. Tigidzi ‘taletinye timvu’ tibasekela ngekwetsembeka. (Johane 10:16) Omabili lamacembu akhonta Jehova ngebunye. Nanobe kunjalo, kufanele sitibute: ‘Ngilisekela ngalokugcwele yini lilungiselelo laJehova lekukhonta kweliciniso?’

      8, 9. Liyini ‘lipharadisi’ lelabonwa nguPawula embonweni?

Kwekucala, lingamelela liPharadisi mbamba lelitawuba lamhlabeni ngekushesha. (Lukha 23:43) Kwesibili, lingamelela kuthula kubantfu baNkulunkulu emhlabeni lomusha. Kwesitsatfu, lingamelela simo lesihle “lesisepharadisi laNkulunkulu” ezulwini.​—Sembulo 2:7.
