Imini KaYehova Ikufuphi
1 AmaKristu akulangazelela ngamandla ukufika kwemini kaYehova ezayo, apho aya kutshabalalisa le nkqubo yezinto aze azise ihlabathi elitsha lobulungisa. (2 Pet. 3:12, 13) Ekubeni singazi ngokuthe ngqo ukuba loo mini iza kufika nini, simele sihlale siphaphile size sincede nabanye benze okufanayo. (Hez. 33:7-9; Mat. 24:42-44) Ukucamngca ngeLizwi likaThixo lesiprofeto kuza kusenza siqiniseke ukuba “imini enkulu kaYehova ikufuphi.”—Zef. 1:14.
2 Ukulandelelana Kwamagunya Ehlabathi: Njengoko kubhalwe kwiSityhilelo 17:9-11, umpostile uYohane uthetha ‘ngookumkani abasixhenxe,’ abamela ukulandelelana kwamagunya ehlabathi asixhenxe. Kwakhona uYohane uthetha “ngowesibhozo ukumkani,” ngoku omelwa ziZizwe Ezimanyeneyo. Ngaba silindele ukuba kuvele amanye amagunya ehlabathi? Akunjalo, kuba isiprofeto sithi lo kumkani wesibhozo ‘uyemka aye entshabalalweni,’ kuze kungaphindi kuthethwe ngabanye ookumkani basemhlabeni. Ngaba esi siprofeto sikunceda ubone ixesha esiphila kulo?
3 UDaniyeli 2:31-45 usinceda siqonde ukuza kwemini kaYehova. Kweso siprofeto, umfanekiso omkhulu obonwa nguNebhukadenetsare embonweni ufuzisela ukulandelelana kwamagunya ehlabathi. Ngalinye kula magunya sele livelile. Siphila kweliphi ixesha namhlanje? Siphila kwixesha elifuziselwa ziinyawo zalo mfanekiso. Esi siprofeto sikuchaza ngokucacileyo oko kuza kulandela. Ulawulo lwabantu luza kupheliswa ngokupheleleyo, luze luvulel’ ithuba “ubukumkani obungenakuze bonakaliswe.” Ngaba uyayibona indlela oku okubonisa ngayo ukuba imini kaYehova ikufuphi?
4 Ubugqina Obungakumbi: Singamangqina okuzibonela ukuba imini kaYehova ikufuphi. Sibona ukuzaliseka koko kwaxelwa kwangaphambili ngumpostile uPawulos ngokuphathelele iimpawu zabantu “ngemihla yokugqibela.” (2 Tim. 3:1-5) Yaye sinesabelo kumsebenzi wokunikela ubungqina ehlabathini lonke ofanele wenziwe ngaphambi kokufika kwesiphelo. (Mat. 24:14) Ngamana umsebenzi wethu wokushumayela ekuhleni ungaqhubeka ubonisa ukungxamiseka koko kwathethwa yingelosi eyathi: “Moyikeni uThixo nimzukise, kuba lifikile ilixa lokugweba kwakhe.”—ISityhi. 14:6, 7.
