Mahlalela: Ngiyajabula kuphindze ngikubone Ndwandwe. Awati kutsi ngisijabulela njani lesifundvo setfu seliBhayibheli lesiba naso njalo ngeliviki. a Usele njani vele ndvodza yakitsi?

Ndwandwe: Ngisele kahle kakhulu.

Mahlalela: Ngiyajabula kukuva loko. Ngelilanga lesigcinene ngalo, besikhuluma ngekutsi kungani BoFakazi BaJehova batsi uMbuso waNkulunkulu wacala kubusa nga-1914. b Ngesikhatsi sicoca ngalendzaba, satfola bufakazi baloku esiphrofethweni lesisesehlukweni 4 sencwadzi yaDanyela. Usakhumbula yini kutsi lesiphrofetho besikhuluma ngani?

Ndwandwe: Wo, yebo ngiyakhumbula, besikhuluma ngesihlahla lesikhulu iNkhosi Nebukhadnezari leyasibona ephusheni.

Mahlalela: Ucinisile. Kuleliphupho Nebukhadnezari wabona sihlahla lesikhulu lesasifika ezulwini. Wase uva sitfunywa saNkulunkulu simtjela kutsi lesihlahla kufanele sijutjwe, kodvwa sicu netimphandze taso tishiywe. Ngemuva ‘kwetikhatsi letisikhombisa,’ lesihlahla besitawuphindze sihlume. c Saphindze sacoca nangekutsi kungani lesiphrofetho sigcwaliseka kabili. Usakhumbula yini kutsi sagcwaliseka nini kwekucala?

Ndwandwe: Angitsi sagcwaliseka kuNebukhadnezari, ngesikhatsi alahlekelwe yingcondvo iminyaka lesikhombisa?

Mahlalela: Yebo. Nebukhadnezari walahlekelwa yingcondvo kwesikhashana, ngako kubusa kwakhe kwaphazamiseka. Ekugcwalisekeni lokukhulu kwalesiphrofetho, kubusa kwaNkulunkulu nako bekutawuphazamiseka tikhatsi letisikhombisa. Njengobe safundza, letikhatsi letisikhombisa tacala ngesikhatsi kubhujiswa iJerusalema nga-607 B.C.E. Kusukela ngaleso sikhatsi, kwababete emakhosi emhlabeni labemelele Jehova Nkulunkulu ekubuseni bantfu. Kodvwa-ke, ekupheleni kwaletikhatsi letisikhombisa Nkulunkulu abetawubeka uMbusi lomusha labetawubusa bantfu bakhe, futsi loMbusi abetawuba sezulwini. Ngalamanye emavi, kuphela kwaletikhatsi letisikhombisa bekutawusho kutsi uMbuso waNkulunkulu wasezulwini sewuyacala kubusa. Kuze kube ngunyalo sesicocile ngekutsi letikhatsi letisikhombisa tacala nini. Ngako-ke nasingakhona kubona kutsi letikhatsi betitawuba tindze kangakanani, sitawukwati nekutfola kutsi loMbuso waNkulunkulu wacala nini kubusa. Sisahambisana mosi Mnguni?

Ndwandwe: Yebo, sisahambisana kahle. Sewungisitile wangikhumbuta ngalesiphrofetho.

Mahlalela: Kuhle kakhulu-ke nakunjalo. Asisale sichubeka nendzaba yetfu, sihlole kutsi letikhatsi letisikhombisa betitawuba tindze kangakanani. Nami bengisayotikhumbuta ngayo lendzaba, futsi ngitawetama kutsi ngikuchazele kahle.

Ndwandwe: Kulungile.

Mahlalela: Kulokugcwaliseka kwekucala kwalesiphrofetho lesifaka ekhatsi Nebukhadnezari, kuyacaca kutsi letikhatsi letisikhombisa betisho iminyaka lesikhombisa leyetayelekile. Kepha-ke, kulokugcwaliseka kwaso lokukhulu lokufaka ekhatsi uMbuso waNkulunkulu, letikhatsi letisikhombisa kufanele kutsi tindze kakhulu kuneminyaka nje lesikhombisa leyetayelekile.

Ndwandwe: Hawu, yini lekwenta usho njalo?

Mahlalela: Kwekucala nje, khumbula kutsi letikhatsi letisikhombisa tacala ngalesikhatsi kubhujiswa iJerusalema nga-607 B.C.E. Nasingacala kubala kusukela kulowo mnyaka, iminyaka lesikhombisa ingasiyisa emnyakeni wa-600 B.C.E. Kodvwa-ke kute lokumcoka lokwenteka ngalowo mnyaka lokuhambisana nekubusa kwaNkulunkulu. Ngetulu kwaloko, njengobe sike sasho ekucaleni, emakhulwini eminyaka leyalandzela, ngesikhatsi Jesu alapha emhlabeni, waveta kutsi letikhatsi letisikhombisa betisengakapheli.

Ndwandwe: Wo, uyati sengiyakhumbula-ke loku sewusho.

Mahlalela: Ngako-ke, kunekutsi tibe yiminyaka leyetayelekile, letikhatsi letisikhombisa kufanele kube tisikhatsi lesidze.

Ndwandwe: Sidze kangakanani leso sikhatsi?

Mahlalela: Incwadzi yeliBhayibheli yeSembulo, lehlobene kakhulu nencwadzi yaDanyela, iyasisita ekutseni sititfole letikhatsi letisikhombisa kutsi tindze kangakanani. Iveta kutsi tikhatsi letintsatfu nahhafu tingangemalanga langu-1 260. d Ngako-ke tikhatsi letisikhombisa, lesititfola nasiphindza kabili letikhatsi letintsatfu nahhafu, tilingana nemalanga langu-2 520. Sisahambisana mosi Ndwandwe?

Ndwandwe: Yebo, kona ngiyakuva. Kodvwa angiboni kutsi loku kuveta njani kutsi uMbuso waNkulunkulu wacala kubusa nga-1914.

Mahlalela: Kulungile asesibone kutsi loku kuyahlangana yini nalo-1914. Ngaletinye tikhatsi, etiphrofethweni teliBhayibheli, lilanga limelela umnyaka. e Nasisebentisa lomtsetfo wekutsi lilanga limelela umnyaka, letikhatsi letisikhombisa tingalingana neminyaka lengu-2 520. Nasibala sisuka ku-607 B.C.E. siye embili, leminyaka lengu-2 520 isibeka ku-1914. f Nguloku-ke lokusenta siphetse ngekutsi 1914 ngumnyaka lokwaphela ngawo letikhatsi letisikhombisa, lokungumnyaka Jesu laba ngawo yiNkhosi eMbusweni waNkulunkulu. Lokunakeka kakhulu futsi kutsi kusukela nga-1914, emhlabeni bekusolo kwenteka tintfo letinkhulu liBhayibheli lelakhuluma ngato kutsi titakwenteka ngemalanga ekugcina.

Ndwandwe: Ngutiphi leto tintfo?

Mahlalela: Cabanga ngaloko Jesu lakusho njengobe kuvetwe kuMatewu 24:7. Mayelana netikhatsi labetawucala ngato kubusa ezulwini, naku Jesu lakusho: “Sive siyawuvukela lesinye sive, nembuso uvukele lomunye umbuso, futsi kuyawuba khona indlala nekutamatama kwemhlaba etindzaweni letehlukahlukene.” Naka kutsi Jesu wakhuluma ngendlala kanye nekutamatama kwemhlaba lebekuyawuba khona ngemalanga ekugcina. Angitsi sesitibone kakhulu tinkinga letinjalo lamhlabeni kulelikhulu leminyaka lelendlulile?

Ndwandwe: Hheyi kunjalo.

Mahlalela: Kulelivesi Jesu waphindze wakhuluma ngetimphi lebetiyawuba khona nasayiNkhosi eMbusweni waNkulunkulu. Nencwadzi yeliBhayibheli yeSembulo nayo yakhuluma ngaletimphi, hhayi nje timphi telive kodvwa ngetimphi lebetitawutsintsa umhlaba wonkhe ngemalanga ekugcina. g Usakhumbula yini kutsi imphi yelive yekucala yacala nini?

 Ndwandwe: Yacala nga-1914, lomnyaka lotsite Jesu wacala ngawo kubusa! Hawu! Uyati angizange sengikucabange-ke loku.

Mahlalela: Masihlanganisa konkhe loku, letiphrofetho letimayelana netikhatsi letisikhombisa kanye naletinye nje tiphrofetho letiseBhayibhelini letimayelana nemalanga ekugcina, kuvele kubonakale kutsi loku kunengcondvo. BoFakazi BaJehova bayaciniseka kutsi Jesu waba yiNkhosi eMbusweni waNkulunkulu nga-1914, nekutsi emalanga ekugcina acala ngalowo mnyaka. h

Ndwandwe: Eish, ngisazama kukuvisisa kahle konkhe loku.

Mahlalela: Kufanele ndvodza yakitsi. Njengobe ngike ngasho nje, nami kwangitsatsa sikhatsi kukuvisisa kahle konkhe loku. Kepha ngiyetsemba kutsi lencociswano yetfu seyikusitile wabona kutsi nanome lomnyaka wa-1914 ungatfolakali eBhayibhelini, kodvwa BoFakazi BaJehova batisekela emiBhalweni timfundziso tabo letimayelana nalomnyaka.

Ndwandwe: Yebo kunjalo Mahlalela, ngiko lengikutsandzako ngani, kutsi nome ngabe yini leniyikhulumako niyifakazela ngembhalo. Animane nje nisho imibono yenu. Kodvwa ngiyatibuta kutsi yini leleyenta lendzaba ibe lukhuni kangaka. Wentiwa yini nje Nkulunkulu kutsi angaveli asigagulele lomnyaka wa-1914 kutsi ngiwo Jesu labetawucala ngawo kubusa ezulwini?

Mahlalela: Muhle lowo mbuto wakho Ndwandwe. Ecinisweni imiBhalo inetintfo letinyenti letingakaveli tacaciswa. Yini vele leyenta kutsi Nkulunkulu avumele kutsi liBhayibheli libhalwe ngendlela lebeyitawudzinga kutsi bantfu batimisele nabafuna kulicondza? Mhlawumbe singacoca ngako loku nangibuya.

Ndwandwe: Ngingabonga mnaketfu.
