Ukuphela Kobubi
Isihloko esandulele kulolu chungechunge sikhulume ngesibonakaliso esiyinhlanganisela uJesu asinikeza esibonisa ukusondela kokuphela kwezwe lamanje. Leso sibonakaliso sihlanganisa ukumenyezelwa kwezindaba ezinhle zoMbuso kaNkulunkulu embulungeni yonke—uhulumeni kaNkulunkulu ozobusa wonke umhlaba maduzane. (Daniyeli 2:44; Mathewu 24:3, 14) Lapho lo msebenzi wokumemezela sewufeziwe, uJesu wathi, “ukuphela kuyofika.” Mhlawumbe uzomangala ukuzwa ukuthi into yokuqala uNkulunkulu ayoyisusa, inkolo yamanga eye yammelela kabi. EBhayibhelini, inkolo yamanga ifanekiselwa isifebe esibizwa ngokuthi “iBhabhiloni Elikhulu.”—IsAmbulo 17:1, 5; bheka ibhokisi elithi “Indlela Yokubona IBhabhiloni Elikhulu,” ekhasini 13.
Isiprofetho 1:
“Zizofika ngalusuku lunye izinhlupho zalo [iBhabhiloni Elikhulu], ukufa nokulila nendlala, futhi liyoshiswa ngomlilo liphele, ngoba uJehova uNkulunkulu, olahlulele, unamandla.”—IsAmbulo 18:2, 8.
Ukugcwaliseka: IBhayibheli lembula ukuthi ngesikhathi sakhe esifanele, uNkulunkulu uyobangela ukuba ababusi bezwe bezombangazwe abanamandla baliphendukele iBhabhiloni Elikhulu balibhubhise. ‘Bayolenza incithakalo balihambise nqunu’ futhi ‘bayoyidla bayiqede inyama yalo.’ (IsAmbulo 17:16) Ngamanye amazwi, bayokwembula ihlazo lalo futhi bawuthathe wonke umcebo walo. Ukubhujiswa kwalo kuyoshesha futhi kwenziwe ngokuphelele kangangokuba ngeke kusale ngisho neminonjana yalo.—IsAmbulo 18:21.
Ababusi bezombangazwe bangase bacabange ukuthi lesi senzo siyisinqumo sabo. Kodwa, ukugcwaliseka kwalesi siprofetho esimangalisayo kuyoqinisekisa ukuthi ukuphela kwaleli Bhabhiloni kuyobe kubangelwe uNkulunkulu. Uyena ‘oyobe ekufake ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuba bafeze umqondo wakhe.’—IsAmbulo 17:17.
Isiprofetho 2:
“Ezinsukwini zalawo makhosi uNkulunkulu wezulu uyomisa umbuso. . . . Uyochoboza uqede yonke le mibuso [eyenziwe abantu], wona uqobo ume kuze kube nini nanini.”—Daniyeli 2:44.
Ukugcwaliseka: Ngemva kokuba eseqedile ngenkolo yamanga, uNkulunkulu uyobe esephendukela kwezinye izinhlangano—ezombangazwe nezentengiselwano, kuhlanganise nabantu ababi. (IzAga 2:22; IsAmbulo 19:17, 18) Njengoba kwenza umnikazi wendawo oxosha abantu abaqashile abonakalisa isakhiwo sakhe, uNkulunkulu ‘uyochitha labo abachitha umhlaba.’ Uyobhubhisa nalabo abawugcwalisa ngobudlova nangezenzo zobulili ezihlasimulisayo.—IsAmbulo 11:18; Roma 1:18, 26-29.
Obani abayosinda? IBhayibheli liyaphendula: “Abamnene bayodla ifa lomhlaba, futhi ngempela bayothola injabulo enkulu ngokuchichima kokuthula.”—IHubo 37:11; 72:7.
Ingabe singazethemba iziprofetho zeBhayibheli? Ingabe singaqiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyobuqeda ububi nokuhlupheka futhi abalondoloze abalungile? Yebo!

OFakazi BakaJehova bakholelwa ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu unguMlobi weBhayibheli nokuthi konke akuthembisile uyokwenza. (2 Thimothewu 3:16) Ingabe le nkolelo inengqondo?
Uma unomngane okuthanda ngempela nosekuyisikhathi eside wazana naye futhi ongakaze akukhohlise, ubungamethemba yini uma ethembisa ukukwenzela into ethile enhle futhi enawo amandla okufeza leso sithembiso? Ngokuqinisekile ubungamethemba. UNkulunkulu ungcono ngisho nangaphezu kwanoma imuphi umngane esingaba naye. “UNkulunkulu akalokothi aqambe amanga!”—Thithu 1:2, Contemporary English Version.
UNkulunkulu akalwamukeli ukholo olungenasisekelo. Ngenxa yalokho, waphefumulela abalobi beBhayibheli ukuba babhale iziprofetho eziningi eziyogcwaliswa nguyena kuphela, onguMninimandla onke. Iningi lalezo ziprofetho nokugcwaliseka kwazo okumangalisayo kuye kwaxoxwa ngakho ezingxenyeni zokuqala eziyisithupha ezidlule zezihloko zalolu chungechunge.
