OKUFUNDISWA YIBHAYIBHILE
Ngaphambi kokuba uThixo adale izinto ezibonakalayo nabantu bokuqala, wayesele enze izidalwa eziphakamileyo nezikrelekrele. Zinamandla ngaphezu kwabantu, ibe zihlala kwindawo ahlala kuyo uThixo, engafikelelekiyo nengabonwayo ngabantu. (Yobhi 38:4, 7) IBhayibhile izibiza ezi zidalwa ngokuthi ‘ngoomoya okanye iingelosi.’—INdumiso 104:4.a
Zingaphi iingelosi? Linani elikhulu kakhulu. Iingelosi ezijikeleze itrone kaThixo ‘zingamashumi amawaka aphindwe ngamashumi amawaka.’ (ISityhilelo 5:11) Ngamany’ amazwi, sinokuthi iingelosi zingamakhulu ezigidi!
‘Ndabona iingelosi ezininzi ezijikeleze itrone. Inani lazo lalingamashumi amawaka aphindwe ngamashumi amawaka namawaka amawaka.’—ISityhilelo 5:11.

Iingelosi zazisiba zizithethi zikaThixo okanye abathunywa.b Zikwaboniswa eBhayibhileni ziphumeza imisebenzi kaThixo emangalisayo. UThixo wathumela ingelosi ukuba isikelele uAbraham, imnqande nasekunikeleni ngonyana wakhe uIsake. (Genesis 22:11-18) UMoses wabona ingelosi iphakathi kwetyholo elivuthayo, imphathele umyalezo owawuza kutshintsha ubomi. (Eksodus 3:1, 2) Xa umprofeti uDaniyeli waphoswa emngxunyeni weengonyama, ‘uThixo wathumela ingelosi yakhe, yayivala imilomo yeengonyama.’—Daniyeli 6:22.
“Kwabonakala ingelosi kaYehova kuye [uMoses] isedangatyeni lomlilo etyholweni elinameva.”—Eksodus 3:2.

Asinakuyazi yonke into eyenziwa ziingelosi namhlanje. Sekunjalo, iBhayibhile ibonisa ukuba nazo zinceda abantu abanyanisekileyo bazi okungakumbi ngoThixo.—IZenzo 8:26-35; 10:1-22; ISityhilelo 14:6, 7.
UYehova wanika usolusapho uYakobi iphupha elibonisa iingelosi zisenyuka zisehla ‘kwileli’ ephakathi kwezulu nomhlaba. (Genesis 28:10-12) Elo phupha inoba labangela ukuba uYakobi aqonde oko sikuqondayo nathi namhlanje, ukuba uYehova uThixo uthumela iingelosi zize emhlabeni ukuze zincede abantu abanyanisekileyo abadinga uncedo.—Genesis 24:40; Eksodus 14:19; INdumiso 34:7.
‘Wabona ileli imiswe emhlabeni, umphezulu wayo ufikelela emazulwini; yaye iingelosi zikaThixo zazinyuka zisihla kuyo.”—Genesis 28:12.
a IBhayibhile ibonisa ukuba abanye boomoya bavukela ulawulo lukaThixo, ibe ezi ngelosi zingendawo izibiza ngokuba ‘ziidemon.’—Luka 10:17-20.
