UMQONDISO WENENE ONGAQATSHELWANGA 1

UMQONDISO WENENE

ONGAQATSHELWANGA

` ^sihlangane ngale ntsasa eGameni leNkosi uYesu.Kwaye emva kokuthandaza no^Ngale ntsasa

andivukanga kwangethuba. Ndibe bushiywa lixeshaekuvukeni. Ndaye ndiyaqonda ukuba wonke umntu uyaziukuba kutheni na ukuba kube njalo ngoku nje.

2 Ndithe ndifika ekhaya ngenye intsasa_okanye ngobunyeubusuku, wabe ummelwane wam emi eyadini, inguye nentombiyakhe encinane. Inkosikazi yakhe ingumongikazi kwigumbilokubelekisela phaya esibhedlele. Ngoko ephethe i_ingcongolo esandleni engaka ubude inesicengcelelwazanakuyo, intanjana ethile, nento encinane, isithi, “Tat’omkhuluuBranham, malunga ngo (Ndiyakholwa malunga) 3:43 okanye4:43, ngo-Oktobha umhla we-11!” Kwaze kwakho isivakalisiesikhulu saphakathi sisemazantsi sisithi, “Umdala kunokubaucinga!” Ngoko ndinamalungelo asemthethweni ngokuwokuba ndiphumle ithuba elidana ngentsasa. Akunjalo,Mzalwana Wright, wakuba_wakuba ngutat’omkhulu?

3 Ngoku ndiyacinga ukuba niyakuba bundixolela ngoko,Dade Kidd, ngale ntsasa kuba ndingakhange ndivuke ngelithuba benidlula nivela e-Ohio. Ndiqiniseke mpela ukubandiziva ndimdala ngeminyaka elishumi ngaphezulundiyacinga, owu, kungaphezulu apho. Kodwa ke njengokubanisazi nonke ukuba ndinomzukulwana omncinane ophayaphandle omalunga neeponti ezisixhenxe okanye ezisibhozoubunzima, into elolo hlobo, oyena mntwana mbi ndakhendambona. Kwathiwa ufana kanye notat’omkhulu wakhe,ngoko^Kwaye^Bendiqonda nje ukuba ebebhekiseleleenini na, apho uBilly ebesingise khona. Ngoko^

4 Phezolo ndisiza ndisihla ngeholo emva kokubizelangaphambili kwam abaguqukayo, ndihlangene neqelalabahlobo bam abathembekileyo abavela eGeorgianakwiindawo eziyingqongileyo, kwaye sisonke besiphayaphandle sikhangele abo bafo bancinane. Kwayebayathandeka, ngokukho nje^Bendisoloko ndiziva ndifananoBilly; uba noloyiko kube ngathi uyakubaphula uyazi,bancinane kakhulu. Kwaye ndiyakholwa ukuba ibinguDadeBeeler othe, “Bendisoloko ndicinga njalo^” Wayehleliecinga loo nto naye_kodwa_emva koko wafumanisa ukubaabaphuki lula olo hlobo. Ngoko ndiyacinga ukuba ifunaukuba yinyani leyo.

2 ILIZWI ELITHETHIWEYO

5 Izolo emva kwemini ndibe necham lokuba phaya ezantsikwikhaya lomnye woodade bethu apha enkonzweni, ikhayalentombi yakhe (yaye ndiyacinga ukuba nayo ilaphaenkonzweni), apho bebenesidlo sasemini sosuku lokuzalwaesincinane sikaMzalwana uNeville. Kwaye uye waba nelinyeinyathelo elikhulu alidlulileyo izolo. Ngoko ke siyakuthikuMzalwana uNeville, ubene “Mini yolonwabo yomhlawokuzalwa,” sisonke, ngokuba ungumzalwana olunge kakhulu.Kwaye kakade, usandula ukudlula amashumi amabinielinesihlanu kancinane, ke ngoko_unjengam nje, kwayengoku^Sisandula ukudlula apho okwesibini. Oko^Ngokuoko kukuba lixhego xa udlula kuloo mgama okwesibini, uyazi.6 Ndikhumbula ngentsasa awathi uFraniye Weeper wenyukaweza apha. Kwabe kuhlala apha ebumelwanenibethu_intombi yakhe ihlala apho ngoku; yena useFlorida.Kwaye uFrankye kunye nam sasihamba isikolo kunye, yayeuFrankye wabeka umnikelo esenzela usuku lwakhe lokuzalwa.Kwaye ndandineminyaka emalunga nesithathu okanye eminendishumayela ngoko. Ndamkhokelela kwiNkosi uYesuuFrankye. Waze wafaka ikota. Ndiyacinga ukubandandinamashumi amabini anesibini ngoko. Kwaye wafakaikota; ndacinga “Owu, bethu, utheth’ukuba lo Frankie Weeperunamashumi amabini anesihlanu ubudala? Whowhu, bethu,ndiyaloyika elo xesha ndakube ndidibanisa amashumi amabinianesihlanu!” Ngoku, ndisondela ekudibaniseni elo xeshaliphindwe kathathu_ke ngoko_kwakutshanje, ngoko ali_alithathi thuba lide kakhulu ukudibana.7 Ndakujonga ngapha ndibone uMzalwana noDade Kiddbekumashumi asibhozo abo babe besomelele, ndiyacinga,“Nkosi Yesu, ndixolele ngokukhalaza ndinamashumi amahlanuanesibini, babe bona^” Unamashumi asibhozo aze uMzalwanaKidd abe namashumi asibhozo ananye, ingaba kunjalo?Amashumi asibhozo ananye! Kwaye basesekushumayeleni!Ndiyakuxelela, loo nto iyakukhuthaza, akunjalo?Ngokuqinisekileyo iyakhuthaza. INkosi ilungile ngenene kuthi.8 Ngoku, inye kuphela into engalunganga endiyoyikayongokuqhuba inkonzo apha kusasa, kwaye loo nto imbi, ivakalanjengento e_eyinto elihlazo kakhulu ukuyithetha, kodwandinabahlobo abaninzi abavela kude kakhulu uku_ukuzakwezi nkonzo. Andibaboni abakwa-Evans apha, kodwabalapha ndaweni ithile, ndiyaqonda. Abaphoswa nayenye.Kwaye niyazi ukuba zingaphi iimayile abaziqhubayo qhongeCawe ukuza kuva intshumayelo? Lishumi elinesithathulamakhulu eemayile. Abanakuphumelela kolo hambongaphandle kokuba bachithe amashumi amathandathu okanyeamashumi asixhenxe eedollar ngeveki ukuza enkonzweni.Injalo loo nto. Ngexesha benyuka besiza apha kunye nosapholwabo, bawelele ngapha, bahlawule^


9 Ngoku, asikokuphela kwabo, kodwa kukho umzalwanaomncinane osuka e-Alabama, uqhuba malunga nomgamaolingana nalowo njalo ngeveki, uMzalwanaÔwu, bethungubani? UMzalwana uWest. Ndiûkhangelekanjengomfanyana nje kum. U_Ungutata, uneqela labantwana.Kodwa uhlala nje endikhumbuza, uba_ukhangeleka esemtshakakhulu, inguye nenkosikazi yakhe_uMzalwana uWest.10 UMzalwana noDade noMzalwana uPalmer, abahleli phayaemva besuka ezantsi kweMacon, eGeorgia. Kunye_KunyenoDade Ungren, esiqhelweni bavela ezantsi eMemphis,eTennessee. Ingaba bakhona kusasanje? Ndi_Ndi_ Ndi^Badla ngokuba khona_uDade Ungrin kunye_kunye neqelaelivela ezantsi eMemphis, eTennessee? YimaÊwe, phayaemva emva kanye. Kuze kubekho nabanye, nje ndi_ baninzinje kakhulu ukuba ndingababiza. Abanye babo ezantsikakhulu emazantsi eKentucky, abanye phezulu kakhulungaseChicago, ukuze abanye babo bavele eChicago, nangentlakweChicago, nakwiindawo ezijikelezileyo apho^11 NgeCawe ndiyaqonda ukuba bekukho indoda apha esuka leeeCalifornia. Kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba ihlale kancinane,ibifuna ukubonana nam. Kwaye kakade, ndiye ndaxineka emvakwenkonzo. Yaze loo ndoda yagoduka ingandibonanga. Enyeifike ivela ngaphaya e-Illinois kwindawo ethile. Ukuba loondoda ilapha ngale ntsasa, ngawona amnandi, ama-apileanencasa ndakhe ndawadla. Yaze yandiphathela isitya sama-apile. Ukuze omnye wabazalwana abavela eGeorgia_Ndiyakholwa ukuba bekulapho kwindawo ethile_ undiphatheleingxowa enkulu yamandongomane amakhulu, elingana nalamabheka makhulu okuphatha. Kwaye owu, ndiyawadla kanene.12 Khona ngoku, ndi^Kakade, andidli kudla kumnandikwezi ntsuku, andizange ukusukela ekundulukeni kukamama.Ndifuna ubuso beNkosi ngenxa yo_yombono omtsha, ndidlakuphela izinto ezilula ezinjengokuba ndi^kancinanekangangoko ndinokuzithwala. Ndihlile emzimbeningamashumi amabini eeponti obunzima, oko kukuthi^Ngoku, andizilanga. Andenzanga njalo^Hayi, okoÛkwenza nje loo nto, asikokunikela ngaloo nto eNkosini.Umelwe kukuyinika iNkosi okona kungcono unako, hayi nje^13 Kwenzekile ndabona uMzalwana Sumner nabanye phayaemva kanjalo. Baninzi kakhulu ndi^Njengokuba kwiCaweephelileyo bendichaphazela abantu abathile a_ababehlaliseuMama nezinto ezinjalo. Kwaye udade onyaniseke ngenenewayelapha; ndiyalilibala igama laloo mfazi. NdiÛkuba ukhongale ntsasa, ndicela uxolo. Kodwa omnye wabo yayinguDadeuBeeler nomnye owayenguDade noMzalwana Stephey.14 Kwakunye nabaninzi, ndi^Nindazi kakhulu ninonkengokokude nazi ukuba andizimisele xa ndithe ndanegama


endiliphosayo okanye ndibe nomntu endimqakathileyo. Indlelaebebenyaniseke ngayo bebonke. Kwaye ngamanye amaxeshaxa ndimi apha ndiye ndithethe ngomntu othile othe qathaengqondweni, kodwa ndi^Ngaloo nto ndithetha elo qelalilonke, wonke umntu. Uyabona, kumnandi nje kakhulu.Ukuze ngoko wonke umntuûyathandeka ungonobubelekuthi. Kwaye ngenene sinombulelo ngaloo nto.15 Ke ngoku, ngale ntsasa sizakuzama ukusondela kwiLizwilikaThixo kwakhona. Ngoku, ndingathanda ukwenza lengxelo icace ngenene, yokuba a_andizi nje nakwiyiphi nainkonzo ukwenzela nje ukuba ndibonwe. Andizi nje ukuzendithi, “Ke, ndifuna uku_ukuthi mhlawumbi ndithandazeiNkosi indiphe u_umyalezo oyakwenza nje abantu bonwabengenene bakhwaze.” Siyifumene kakhulu into enjalo, kodwa(kwaye siyayivuyela loo nto ilungile, ’yabona, iyamangalisa.’Yabona?) _kodwa uyazi ukuba, “Nkosi, Zikhokeleleiingcinga zam kwinto eyakuba luncedo ebantwini,eyakubabeka kwindawo esondele ngakumbi kuThixo,ukuze_ukuze_ukuze ibenzele into kangako_kangako_ingabikokubakha ngokwasemoyeni kangako, koko ibakhe elwazininasekuhloneleni uThixo, ukuze bazi ukuba mabeme njani nalwakufika utshaba.16 Bendithetha nodade obelapha phezulu esityelele kule veki,uDade uPalmer. Uthe^Wayefuna ukuba kwakutheni naukuze ndihlale kweli lizwe, kukuÛngangena nje aphauphume^ Lonke ixesha ndifika kule ngxingwa ndiyagula njeukuba ndingene. Aku_Akukho mpilweni nje ngenene ukubasengxingweni; siyayazi loo nto. Kodwa baninzi abantwanabakaThixo abalapha ezantsi, kwaye ngoko ngolunye lwezintsuku^17 Ndifuna iNkosi ngoku ukuze ndifumanise umyalezowenene othe ngqo osuka kuThixo. ’Yabona? Kwayendi^Ngoncedo lukaThixo ndikhangele nje ekubenindibambelele ade Abuye, ndithetha ukuthi andinike ingxeloethile, kuba ndiva ngathi kumelwe ukuba^Kukho intoezakwenzeka apha kufutshane. Ndifuna ukwazi ukuba yintonina, kwaye ndifuna ukwazi ngokuvela kuThixo ngqo, ukuzendibe nokuthi ITSHO INKOSI! ’Yabona? Ukuze_Ukuze ube_wena_abantu ngoko bazi ukuba asi_asindim.18 Ngoko ndifuna ukuzama ndiyenze ngokokuze_okanyendive kuYe kuqala; kuba ukuba Ubeke amazwi aKhe e_emntwini, kulungile, ngoko ayisenguloo mntu, nguYe. Ngokoukuba umntu uyithetha loo nto ngokwakhe, ngoko ayisayikuphelela ntweni konke. Kodwa ukuba u_iLizwi leNkosilisemntwini, liyakwenzeka, lize li_libe lelichanekileyo kanye.Nantso into esayalelwa yona eBhayibhileni ngaphaya malunganesahluko sama-20 seDuteronomi. Ndiyakholwa ithe,“Khangelani, ukuba ubani uthetha eGameni leNkosi, kuze oko


kungenzeki, ngoko musani ukumnaka loo mntu. (’Yabona?)Kodwa ukuba uyithethile, yaze yenzeka, ngoko kungcononimve (’yabona?), ngokuba ivela kuThixo.”19 Nantso indlela enze ngayo uThixo. Unenkqubo yaKheeqhelekileyo ebekiweyo apha eBhayibhileni_siyazi ukubaifundwa njani na loo nto_kodwa kukho izinto ezithile eziya_eziya kwibandla nakwixesha nezinto ezizezinye Athewazibhala eBhayibhileni, ukuze Abeke izwi laKhengaphakathi emntwini, aze alithethe (’yabona?)_alithethe. Kengoko, indlela yokumqonda loo mntu kukufumanisa ukubayenzeka ngaloo ndlela ayithethe ngayo na. Ngoko ukubayenzekile, ize ihlale isenzeka ngaloo ndlela, ke ngoko, siyaziukuba oko kuvela eNkosini. Ukuze si_ukuze sibe nethembalokulungiselela izinto ezizayo.20 Ndifuna ukufunda indawo ezimbini okanye ezintathueSibhalweni ngale ntsasa, kwaye ndifuna ukufunda kuqalakwiNcwadi ye-Eksodus kwaye ndiyakholwa malunganesahluko se-4 se_Eksodus okokuqala.21 Ke ngoku, ndisenokukhe ndivakalise ngeli thubanilungiselela ukufunda ezi Zibhalo, ndingakhe ndivakalise okondifuna ukukuthetha kuni, oko iNkosi ikubeke entliziyweniyam ukuze ndithethe ngako ngale ntsasa. Andazi ukubayintoni na Eyakuyenza ngako ebantwini. Mhlawumbi ijoliswekumntu omnye apha, mhlawumbi umntu othilekwabaphulaphule ikhasethi, kwendawo eyenye, kodwandifuna ukuvakalisa oku ngale ntsasa^22 Ndiyacinga ukuba ngentsasa yeCawe ephelileyondishumayele ngeNgqina LeNyaniso, ukuze ngale ntsasayeCawe, iNkosi ithandile, ndifuna ukushumayela ngoMqondisoWenene Ongaqatshelwanga.23 NdiÛMzalwana Palmer ebendixelela phezolo, ukubakwintsasa yeCawe ephelileyo ndandithetha ngomxholo okanyebendilungiselela ukuthetha kule Cawe ngeMpambana-ndlelaEzine ZeBandla. Ndaze ndathi ndakungena phezolo^Ndidlangokuyibhala intoÂndazi nokuba kufanelekile na ukuyenzaloo nto okanye hayi, kodwa ndinezinto ezininzi kakhuluêndizama ukucinga ngazo, ndakufumana into ethile ndimelwekukuyibhala kwisiqwenga sephepha. ’Yabona? Ndaze ndayakuyikhangela, kwaye eyona nto bendiyithetha malunga nokoibingezo mpambana-ndlela zine eneneni. Ndiyithethe ngolohlobo, ngenene. Kodwa into ebendithetha yona ibizizimo ezinezokulawulwa kwebandla. Ukuze ndenze loo nto, ndimelwekukufumana okuninzi kwezembali ndikuhlanganise kwayemhlawumbi kwixesha elizayo ndiyakuba nako. Kodwakuthabatha ixesha elithe chatha kunokuba bendinalo ixeshalokufunda ukuze ndifumane loo nto, ngokuba kufunekaubuyele emva ufumane imihla nokunjalo. Ngokuba konkenonke niyaqonda ukuba i^Kuyo yonke indawo, kuba, sifuna


ukuqiniseka ngenene ngezi zinto phambi kokuba sizithethe.Zimelwe ukuba zibe yinyani, ngokuba simi apha sibambeesona sikhundla sisesiphezulu sakhe sabanjwa ehlabathini,umlungiseleli, umluhgiseleli, nokona kunenyaniso kuyinene_kuchanekileyo. Simelwe kukuba lolo hlobo. Simelwekukuxhomekeka kuThixo ukuze sibe nokwenza oko.

Ngoku, kwiNcwadi ye-Eksodus, isahluko se-4:Waphendula uMoses wathi,ûyabona, abayi

kukholwa ndim, abayi kuliphulaphula izwi lam: kubabaya kuthi, UYEHOVA akabonalanga kuwe.

Wathi UYEHOVA kuye, Yintoni na loo ntoisesandleni sakho? Wathi, Yintonga.

Wathi, Yiphose emhlabeni. Wayiphosa emhlabeni,yasuka yaba yinyoka; wayibaleka uMoses.

Wathi UYEHOVA kuMoses, Solule isandla sakho,uyibambe ngomsila. Wasolula isandla sakhe,wayibamba, yasuka yaba yintonga esandleni sakhe:

Ukuze bakholwe ukuba UYEHOVA uThixo wooyise,uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo ka-Isake, uThixokaYakobi, ubonakele kuwe.

Waphinda UYEHOVA wathi kuye, Khawusifakeisandla sakho esifubeni sakho. Wasifaka isandla sakheesifubeni sakhe: akusirhola isandla sakhe, naso,sineqhenqa simhlophe njengekhephu.

Wathi, Sibuyisele isandla sakho esifubeni sakho.Wasibuyisela isandla sakhe esifubeni; wasirholaesifubeni sakhe, naso, sibuya saba njengenyama yakhe.

Kothi, ukuba abathanga bakholwe nguwe,abaliphulaphula izwi lowokuqala umqondiso,bakholwe lilizwi lomqondiso wamva. (Uyiqaphele lemiqondiso mibini, kwaye u_mqondiso ngamnyewawunezwi.)

(Mandifunde umqolo we-8 kwakhona.) Kothi, ukubaabathanga bakholwe nguwe, abaliphulaphula izwilowokuqala umqondiso, bakholwe lilizwi lomqondisowamva.

Kothi, ukuba abathanga bakholwe nayile miqondisomibini, abaliphulaphula nezwi lakho, uthabatheamanzi omlambo, uwaphalazeleêmhlabeniowomileyo: osuka amanzi owathabathileyo emlanjeniabe ligazi emhlabeni owomileyo.

24 Kwakhona ngoku, kuYohane oNgcwele isahluko so-1nomqolo we-6 sifunda ezi vesi, okanye le vesi. UYohaneoNgcwele isahluko sokuqala nevesi ye-6:


Kwakho mntu uthunyiweyo evela kuThixo, ugamalinguYohane^mntu uthunyiwe uvela kuThixo,ugama linguYohane.

25 Kwakhona kuHezekile 24:24, ndinqwenela ukufunda nesiSibhalo, siyibophe ukusuka kwiTestamente eNdala, ukuyakubaprofeti, ukuya kwiTestamente eNtsha, ukuze uqondeukuba kusuka emva ukusuka kwi-Eksodus, ekuqalekeni ukuyaesiphelweni.

UHezekile woba sisimanga kuni: niyakwenzanjengako konke akwenzileyo: ekuzeni kwako oko,niyakwazi ukuba ndiyiNkosi UYEHOVA.

Ngoku, masithobe iintloko zethu okomzuzwana njenjengokuba sisondela kuYe ngentlonipho ngoku ngendlelayomthandazo.

26 Bawo Thixo, siza eGameni likaThixo ka-Abraham, u-Isake,noYakobi, uYesu Kristu iLungisa. Siza sisazi ukuba uyakusivaYena, ngokuba asizi njengomntu othile osandula kungenaesakhiweni, koko siza ngobuganga ngokholo, sikholwa ukubaoko Akuthembisileyo, kona oko Uyakukwenza. Ngoko siyacelanamhlanje, Nkosi, ukuba Uthabathe ngamnye kuthi thinabakhoyo, konke ukusuka epulpitini ukuya emva esakhiweni,kuzo zonke iindawo, uze uvule yonke intliziyo waluse ukuvakwethu, ukuze iLizwi likaThixo Ophilileyo libe nokuza livelaeZulwini ngale ntsasa ligaleleke ngaphakathi kwentliziyo zethu,ukuze sikholwe njengokuba sisiva iLizwi leNkosi njengokubasesifundelwe ezindlebeni zethu ngale ntsasa. KwayesiyaKubulela ngeLizwi laKho. ILizwi laKho liyiNyaniso.

27 Ke ngoku, njengokuba sibona amaxa amabi esondela,yonke ingqumbo kaThixo ifumbe phezulu ukuya kungenaesibhakabhakeni. Kangangokuba naxesha nini na kungakhointo ethile enokwenzeka kwesi sizwe siKushiyileyo, ukubakungakho ukudubula okukhulu kube kunye okuyakusithabatha isizwe ngokupheleleyo sisisuse kwisalatha-ndawo sehlabathi_ngezoyikiso ezisekelezwe lilizweelingenabuthixo elingxamele ukwenza ngolo hlobo. Beyazi loonto endaweni yokusondela kuThixo, bakhangeleka besiyabemnka ngokumnka. Besazi ukuba iNcwadi yeSityhilelo nakokonke ukuhla eZibhalweni iwuxele kwangaphambili lo mhla,ngoko masifumane isiyalo, Nkosi, size singabi ngamavila silalesisozela njengokuba kwakunjalo. Sanga singavukasizishukumise.

28 Sanga singaqonda namhlanje ngendlela esingazange senzengayo ngaphambili. Zanga iintliziyo zethu zingavutha kangakoemva kwale mini, ngokokuze kubekho umlilo olunyekiweyoemiphefumlweni yethu oyakutshayela lonke eli lizwe, Nkosi,kube bubungqina obuphilileyo kwindawo yonke esikuyo.


29 Sikelela abagulayo nabaxhwalekileyo, abo basweleyo,kokubini phakathi kwethu nabo bangekho phakathi kwethu,abantu baKho ndawo zonke.

30 Sikelela iLizwi laKho, Nkosi. Ngcwalisa isicaka saKhonezicaka zaKho eziphulaphuleyo, ukuze sihlangene sibenokusondezwa ngakumbi ekuqondeni ukuvela kwaKhengaphezu koko sakhe senza njalo ebomini. Andithandazeli abakuphela bakhoyo, koko nabo bayakuva ikhasethi ehlabathinijikelele ukuze babe nokungeniswa kwiBandla likaThixoOphilileyo. Kuba siyaqonda ukuba inye indlela esinokubangamalungu ngayo weli Bandla; leyo kungokuzalwa ngoMoya;size sibhaptizelwe ngaMoya mnye Mzimbeni mnye.Ndiyathandaza, Thixo, ndithandazela ngamnye kuboehlabathini jikelele, ukuze Wena uZifumanele uzuko. Kwayesanga singayilungisa kangako imiphefumlo yethu, ukuzengokukhala okunye kwihlabathi jikelele, sibe nokukhwaza,“Ewe, yiza, Nkosi Yesu!” Oku sikuthandaza eGameni likaYesuKristu. Amen.

31 Umqondiso Wenene Ongaqatshelwanga. Abantu bahlalabefuna imiqondiso konke ukusuka kooFaro kude kubenamhlanje. Kwaye uYesu wasixelela nge_ngexesha aphokuyakuthi kubekho khona abafuni bemiqondiso, waze wathiisizukulwana esikhohlakeleyo esikrexezayo siyakuzingelananemiqondiso. Kodwa nangoko, bayakuwamnkela umqondiso;kwaye eso sizukulwana sasiya kwamnkela umqondisowovuko_ esasiyakuba sesibhetye-bhetye, esikhohlakeleyo,kwaye isizukulwana esikrexezayo esiyakunikwa umqondisowovuko.

32 Kodwa njengokuba esi Sibhalo silele phambi kwethukuHezekile isahluko sama-24 nomqolo wama-24, lo mprofetiwenziwa umqondiso. Kwaye nguloo mqondiso endinqwenelaukuthetha ngawo.

33 Le ndoda yenziwa umqondiso kuSirayeli. Kwaye konkeukuhla eZibhalweni, uThixo wasebenzisa abaprofeti baKhenjengemiqondiso. Kwaye bahlala bengaqatshelwa. Abazangebabonakale bewuqonda loo mqondiso. Bahlala njalobekhangela umqondiso wemihlali.

Nkqu nabaFarisi bemihla kaYesu bathi, “Siboniseumqondiso ophuma eZulwini.”

34 Kodwa uYesu wabhekiselela kubo ngokuthibayakuwufumana umqondiso. “Seninawo umqondiso.” Wathi,“Ninako ukucalula isibhaka-bhaka; ninako ukukhangela kuloomqondiso. Nithi, ‘Ukuba sibomvu sigwangqa, ngomsokuyakubakho imozulu embi.’”

35 Ukuba babekhangele kuloo mqondiso, ngebabekhangelekuYe baze bazi ukuba Yena wayenguMqondiso kaThixo kubo;


ngokuba iziprofetho zabo ngokubhekiselele kuYezazizalisekiswa phambi kwamehlo abo. Kodwa nangokobabesafuna umqondiso.36 Imangalisa kanjani into yokuba abantu benze loo nto,abayakuthi bafune umqondiso ngeli thuba umqondiso ukunyenabo, kanye phakathi kwabo. Ngoku, uSirayeli wayengenekuloo meko.37 Kwaye ngamaxesha amaninzi ukungcungcutheka othi loomqondiso umelwe kukungena kuko kuyamangalisa.Ukungcungcutheka awathi uYesu wangena kukoukuqondakalisa uMqondiso kaThixo, ukuba YenawayenguMesiya^38 Sifumanisa ukuba apha lo mprofeti uselula ugamalinguHezekile wathi gqolo esiba ngumqondiso lonke ixesha.Indlela awazingcungcuthekisa ngayo. Kwenye indawosifumanisa ukuba wangqengqa ngecala lakhe lasekhohloisithuba samakhulu amathathu anamashumi alithobaeentsuku. UThixo wamxelela ukuba azifumanele iimbotyinomgubo, akuhlanganise, akupheke, aze angqengqe ngecalalakhe, ahambe aye kungqengqa phezu kwenqwanqwa, azeangqengqe ngecala lasekunxele kuphela_angaguquki_isithuba samakhulu amathathu anethoba eentsuku. Yicinge!Waze waphinda wathi, “Guquka ngecala lasekuneneungqengqe apho amashumi amane eentsuku kwakhona.”39 Waze wathi apha, “Wathi uyabona^” uHezekilewathiÊhe “Ngokuba uthwele ubugwenxa babantu. UsukuNdiyakulubala njengonyaka kubo.” Ngenxa yokuba sukungalunye wangqengqa apho, loo nto yathetha unyaka abayakuwuhlala ekuthinjweni, nokuba ubugwenxa babobabuyakukhunjulwa nguThixo aze uThixo angayivaimithandazo yabo kwakhona.40 Kodwa ukungcungcutheka eyathi loo ndoda yamelwakukungena kuko. Kwakutheni ukuze kube yimfuneko oko?Abaninzi baye bamangaliswa ukuba kwenzeka njani ukubainto enjalo ibe yimfuneko ukuba yenziwe ngumntu.Kungokuba abantu abafuni kufunda iLizwi, kwaye abafunikuthandaza. Ngoko uThixo ungolawulayo, kwaye Uthumelaabaprofeti baKhe ukuba babe ngumqondiso. Abantu abafunikufunda; abakhathalele kufunda. Kwaye abafuni kuthandaza,ngokuba kakhulu_banezinto ezizezinye zokwenza.Abathabathi xesha lakuthandaza. Kwaye iBhayibhileiyindinisa kubo, ayinamdla ukhawulezayo ufanele le mihlayangoku okanye nayiphi na imihla.41 Uyazi, ndiyakholwa ukuba yayinguPawulos owathi,“Nizincwadi ezibhalwe nguThixo, ezifundwa ngabantubonke.” UThixo usebenzisa abantu ngokwemiqondiso,ukubonakalalisa imiqondiso yaKhe. Kwaye ngamaxesha


amaninzi loo mqondiso, kwaye ngalo lonke ixeshaesiqhelweni_ngaphandle kokuba kukubantu abanyuliweyo_loo mqondiso awuqatshelwa uyagxekwa, kuhlekiswe ngawo,ugxothwe, ubalelwe ekuthini^42 Nkqu nakwimihla yabaprofeti beTestamente eNdala,babebalelwa ekubeni ngabantu abangqondo, iphazamisekileyo.Babecinga ukuba abo baprofeti yayingabaphambene ingqondo,ukuba yayingaba_kwakukho undonakele engqondweni yabo.Kwaye babebabona bengena bephuma entlango be_benzeimiqondiso, baze babuyele emva baye kungena entlangokwakhona. Baze bahlekise ngabo, ngokuba babengasaziiSibhalo.43 UYesu waxelela abaFarisi ngaxesha lithilengokubhekiselele kuvuko, babesithi, “SinoÛmthetho uthiukuba umzalwana uyafa ashiye inkosikazi inge_ingenabantwana kuye, umntakwabo umelwe kukuyithatha loonkosikazi avelisele abantwana owakhe_obhubhileyo.” Bazebathi, “Sasinomnye owayenabantakwabo abasixhenxe.Owokuqala wathabatha inkosikazi, waze wabhubhaengashiyanga mbewu. Waze umntakwabo wamthabatha, wazewabhubha, kwaqhubeka njalo kwade kwangowesixhenxe; wazeekugqibeleni loo mfazi wafa.” Bathi, “Ngoku, eluvukweni,”bathi ngoku, “uyakuba yinkosikazi yowuphi kweso sixhenxe?”44 Owu, ndiyalithanda elo Lizwi. UYesu wathi, “Niyalahleka,ngokuba ningazazi iZibhalo, kwanamandla kaThixo!” Owu,indlela ebeyakuthi ayibhengeze ngayo namhlanje loo nto ukubaEbemi apha. “Niyalahleka, ngokuba ningazazi iZibhalo,kwanamandla kaThixo!” Amandla kaThixo anxibeleleneneSibhalo. “Niyalahleka kakhulu.” Ngoko Waqhubela phambiliwathi, “Eluvukweni abatshati bengendiswa nokwendiswa,koko banjengee Ngelosi.” Akathanga bayakuba ziNgelosi, kokobayakuba njengee Ngelosi_amalungu okwazana kwendodanomfazi akayi kubakho kubo. Abatshati bengendiswa.45 Sikumhla wokubhubha_okanye woko kubhubhayo, imihlayobukumkani obubhubhayo. Kodwa kuza umhla aphokuyakubakho uBukumkani bokungabhubhi obuzayo. Kwayeobo Bukumkani bokungabhubhi kulapho abahlanguliweyobayakuphila khona, abo bahlanguliweyo bazeÛbomiobushiya lo mzimba buze bubuyele kuThixo owabunikayo,buya kubuyela eMthini woBomi ngamhla uthile ukuyakulawula ngonaphakade.46 Indlela awathi ngayo lo mfana, umprofeti oselula,wazinikela wanikela ubomi bakhe buphela ukuba abengumqondiso kubantu bakowabo ngesohlwayo ababeyakusamnkela, ngokuba babe_yinto esinokuyibiza ngokuthi_kukungathali. Kwakungekho nto bayifunayo ngoThixo, kwayebabengakholelwa kwabo baprofeti; kwaye babehlekisa nje


ngabo. Kwaye^Kodwa ngaphambi koku, akunamsebenzinokuba babengafuni kuwukholelwa kangakanani na, uThixowenza ukuba babenawo nangoko.47 U-Izebhele wayengafuni kuvuma ukuba u-Ahabhiwayengumlungiseleli wakhe, kodwa ke wayenguye. UThixowenza ukuba awufumane umqondiso nakanjani na. Sinjalo esisizwe namhlanje. UThixo olilungisa onyanisekileyo ngeLizwilaKhe akanakuvumela ukuba nantoni na esiyibona izakwenzekayenzeke, ngaphandle kokuba kubekho umqondiso ndaweniithile. Wahlala enawo. Ngoku, simelwe kukuwukhangela. Kwayendiqinisekile ukuba abantu abanokuqonda kweSibhalo bayayaziukuba bamelwe kukukhangela njani na.48 UNowa wayengumqondiso kubantu ngomhla wakhengomgwebo ozayo. UNowa ngomhla wakhe wayebalelwaekuthini ungoyibaxayo. Wayengumprofeti. Wayebalelwaekuthini akamanga kakuhle engqondweni. Loo ndodayabethelela unyaka nonyaka, isakha umkhombe kwindawoeyayingenawo namanzi phezu komhlaba ingengawoawayesemithonjeni. Waze waxela kwangaphambili ngentoethile eyayiyeyempambano kwingqondo yenyama. Wathi,“Kukho amanzi ezayo ephuma esibhakabhakeni.”

Akuthandabuzeki ukuba abaninzi babenokuthi kuye,“Sibonise ukuba aphi na.”49 Inzululwazi yayiyakuthi, “Ndingakuqondakalalisela ukubaakukho manzi phaya phezulu.” Kodwa nangoko, ukuba uThixowayemxelele ukuba yayisiza iphuma esibhakabhakeni, uThixouyakwenza ukuba iLizwi laKhe lizaliseke.50 Kwaye kungekabikho manzi abonakalayo, kungazangekubekho lifu esibhakabhakeni, kungazange kwana nethontsi_kwakungekho nto injengemvula_ukanti lonke ixesha uNowawayelungisa umkhombe elungiselela imvula. Yayibubungqinaobuphilayo bokuba loo mprofeti wakholwa kwintoawayethetha ngayo, kuba wayeyilungiselela.51 Kwaye nawuphi na umntu okholwayo ngenene kwintoathetha ngayo, uyakuyilungiselela.52 Ndingakhe ndime apha okomzuzu nje kuloo mhla kaNowa.Kwaye uYesu wathi, “Kuyakuba njalo ekuzeni koNyanawomntu.” Ukuba iinkonzo namhlanje ziyakholwa kuloo ntozithetha ngayo, bebemelwe kukuyenza le nto bayithethayo.53 Singathini ukube sisakha izakhiwo ezikhulu zemifanekisoeqingqiweyo, nezakhiwo zezigidi zedollar, nokusasazwaokukhulu kwemibutho, nezinto ezilolo hlobo, size sishumayeleukuba uKristu angabuya naxesha nini na? Singathiniukuqhubela phambili^khangela kumabandla ethu ubabonebezahlula kumandla kaThixo, bengena kubuhlabathi, bazebabungenise ebandleni, baze bayiqhube, size siyivumele loonto? Ngenxa yodumo, ngenxa yoluvo oludumileyo,


nokwahlukana kobuhlelo, sizama ukukhula sidlule omnye loumbutho. Singakwenza njani oko sikushumayelayo? Kwayeihlabathi liyayibona lonto; bayayazi.54 Ngoko inkolo isuke yayinto nje_njengokuthi nje ubengowenkqubo ethile okanye ube ngowebutho lento ethile.UnquloÛsindiso lukaKristu alungombutho; alukokujoyinanto ithile; lungamava aphilileyo.55 Ngoku, uNowa wayevelisa oko wayethetha ngako. Wathi,“Kuza isikhukula somgwebo kwesi sizukulwana singalungileyo.Kwaye uThixo uyakuthulula imvula iphuma emazulwini, azeAkhukulise lonke ihlabathi.” Yayingeyiyo loo nto kuphelaAwayeyenza, koko Wayesenza nendlela yokusinda exelelaabantu ukuba beze kuyo. Kodwa babengafuni kumphulaphula.56 Kodwa uNowa njengomprofethi wayengumqondiso kwesisizukulwana, umqondiso ekwakuthethwa kakubi ngawo,indoda ekwakucingelwa ukuba i_iyindoda ephambeneyo,ilungisa into eyayi^Kwakungekho bungqina naphi na,okanye bungazange bubekho, obokuba kuyakuze kubekhoukusetyenziswa okuthile kwawo. Kodwa yiloo ndlela abantuababonakala becinga ngayo namhlanje. Banako ukucingangenqaba yokuzimela. Iyakuba luncedo luni inqabayokuzimela kuwe xa kuyakube kungekho kwa_ kungayikubakho nomthi okanye iliwa elishiyekileyo phezu komhlaba?Sinayo inqaba yokuzimela, aMakristu anayo.57 Njengokuba bendithe kwiCawe ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo,okanye ndacinga ndaweni ithile apha endleleni, “Asiyonqabayakuzimela, yinqaba ‘yokungena’, apho sithi siwelengaphakathi kuyo, ngokuzinikezela kakhulu ngayo yonkeintliziyo yethu, nangawo wonke umphefumlo wethunangengqondo yethu iphela, ngaphakathi kuKristu,uMkhombe kaThixo wokukhuseleka.”58 Kodwa uNowa, igeza_owayecingelwa ukuba ulilo ngaloomhla_ngobudenge bokushumayela nokwenza umqondisophakathi kwabantu, ebanika isiyalo, waligweba ihlabathi,wagweba ihlabathi ngokwakha inqanawa ngethubakwakungekho manzi yakuba idade kuwo. Waligwebaihlabathi, iBhayibhile itshilo, kumaHebhere isahluko se-11.Waligweba ihlabathi waze wasindisa indlu yakhengokulungiselela nokuba ngumqondiso kaThixo wemigweboezayo yaloo mhla. Yinto eyintsikelelo kangakanani!59 Kwiminyaka esemva koko kwavela omnye umqondiso; loomqondiso yayinguMoses, umprofeti. YayingumqondisokaThixo lowo kuSirayeli. Babesekuthinjweni iminyakaengamakhulu amane. Waze uThixo wabalungiselelaumqondiso kanye phambi kokuhlangulwa. Kwaye yenawayengumqondiso wokuhlangulwa kukaSirayeli nomqondisowomgwebo kwiYiphutha.


60 UNowa wayengumqondiso wokuhlangulwa kubantubakowabo nomqondiso wokugwetywa kwihlabathielilahlekileyo, kongakholwayo. Kwaloo manzi arhaxaihlabathi emnka nalo ihlabathi yayikukuphela kwendlelayokusindisa uNowa, inye into eyayinokumsindisayayingumgwebo. Inye into eyakusindisa ibandla namhlanjengumgwebo, uThixo ubeke umgwebo kweyona ntoyokulinganisa. Kodwa uNowa washumayela loo nto inye.Waba ngumqondiso.61 Ke ngoku uSirayeli emva kwamakhulu amane eminyaka,baqala ukulilela ukuhlangulwa. Kwaye uThixo akaze aZityhileaZibonakalalise bade abantu baKhe babe bakulungeleukwamnkela oko Abonisa ngako.62 NgokuÔwu, kunokuthiwani ke apha, indlela atheuThixo wasishiya ngayo size esi sizwe. Bazi ngcono.Amaphepha-ndaba ayipapashile loo nto jikelele jikelelenajikelele. Imiqondiso yokuza kwaKhe ivelisiwe, kwayebaqhubela kanye phambili njengokuba bangazange bayinake.Abanakuzithethelela. Sisekupheleni.63 UThixo uthumela kuphela abaprofeti baKhe xa abantubefuna umprofeti. UThixo uthumela umqondiso waKhe xaabantu bewulungele umqondiso. Kodwa i_into inye, abantuakuxhaphakanga^Bafikelela kwindawo apho bafuna khonainto yemihlali, okanye bafune okuthile, “Sibonise umqondisoovela eZulwini!” Kodwa xa uThixo ethumela umqondiso,ngoko abafuni kuwubona. Ngoko ufihliwe emehlweniengqondi nezilumko ukuze utyhilelwe iintsana eziyakufunda.64 Abazange bawunake, umqondiso. Indlela engewathi ngayouSirayeli wazi xa kwazalwa umntwana ogqibeleleyo, xababejonge apho phezulu baze babona nge_ngexesha leminyakaababephila kuyo, “Abantu bakuni bayakuba ngabaphambukeliamakhulu amane eminyaka kwilizwe lasemzini, kodwa ngokondiyakubakhupha.” Babemelwe kukulazi ukuba ixeshalisondele xa babebona loo mntwana ugqibeleleyo ezalwa. Nkqunonina noyise, u-Amram noJochebed, babengayoyiki imimiselokakumkani. Bamthabatha bamfaka kanye phakathi phayaemlanjeni apho kwakukho iingwenya; akukho nanyeeyayinokumluma. Babona ukuba wawukho umqondiso. Kodwaabazange bawunake. Babengekawulungeli. UThixowamngenisa, wambeka kanye kwibhotwe likaFaro, wenzaukuba uFaro amkhulise, amnike yonke imfundoawayenokuyifumana_ukubonisa ukuba (uThixo) Uzenza njanina izinto_waze waphinda wamthabatha wamsa ngaphayakwentlango, wenza ukuba ayilibale yonke loo nto.65 UFaro wayemqeqesha ngoko. UThixo wayemqeqeshaÛFaro waba namashumi amane eminyaka okumqeqesha, wazeuThixo wathabatha amashumi amane eminyaka


yokumqeqesha, esenza ukuba alibale yonke loo nto.Ukuqeqesha komntu nokuqeqesha kukaThixo. UFarowayeqeqesha unyana ukuze abe yinkokeli, ichulelokuphathana nabantu, ukuze abe ligorha, umlwi, elungiselelaomnye uFaro ozayo oyakuyibamba iYiphutha ikwindawo zayoeziphezulu, izithobela phantsi zonke ezinye izizwe izenzezihlawule irhafu kuFaro. Kodwa uThixo wamthabatha wamsangaphaya kwentlango, wakhupha yonke loo nto kuye, wazewambonisa ngemizuzu emihlanu yexesha ngetyholo elivuthayoukuba Yena wayenguThixo Ophilayo. Wakhupha konkeukoyika kuye waze wamlungiselela. Wayengumqondiso.66 UThixo ufuna ukuba abantu bakhe bathandaze. Kwaye xauSirayeli warhafiswa kangangokuba angene kwimeko yokubaabe akanakubheka phambili kwakhona, ixesha labolalizalisekile nemithwalo yayi_yayakuma kude kunokubababecinga, ngoko baqalisa ukuthandaza. Baze bathi bakuqalaukuthandaza abantu, ngoko uThixo waqalisa ukuva.Yayilixesha lokuba iLizwi likaThixo lizaliseke.67 Ke ngoko xa u-Amram no-Jochebed babonayo ukubayayilixesha lokuba iLizwi lizaliseke, baya kuthandazakuThixo. Kwaye esiqhelweni iba ngabo bathandazayo abobanomthwalo, ngabona bafumana into. Ngabo bathandazayo,abo bamiselwe kwangaphambili nguThixo ukuba benze njalo.68 Besithetha ngale ntsasa kwitafile yesidlo sakusasa ngelithuba besingxamele ukufumana isonka esiqhotsiweyonokunjalo ukuze sizokufika enkonzweni. Kubekho into ethileethethiweyo malunga nendoda eyayi (kude nalapha)_eyathiyabuyela ekutshayeni imidiza emva kokuba yayiphiliswekumhlaza. Ndathi, “Lusizi olunjani olo.”69 Ngoko omnye wathetha esithi, “Yiyona nto inzima ukusukakuyo ikhoyo, ukutshaya imidiza.”70 Ndathi, “Ndiyayazi, ngokuba ingumtyholi,” ndaze ndathi,“I_Ingumtyholi.” Ndaze ndathi, “Kwaye awunakuyiyekangaphandle kokuba amandla kaThixo abe phezu kwakho.”Ndazi abafo ababini ngemihla yam yobutsha, bobabinibabefuna ukuba ngamadoda akwaThixo. Omnye wabo kwathinje ukuba ndimkhokelele kuKristu, waqalisa ukulumekaumdiza^Watshaya iipakethe zantlanu kungenjalo zibentandathu ngemini, ahlale nje alumeke omnye emva komnyeimini yonke. Waze wazama ukulumeka omnye umdiza, kwakhointo engamvumiyo ukuba enze njalo. Wahamba waya esitovini,engazi ukuba iZibhalo ziyazigweba ezo zinto, wavula isitovu,watyhala loo pakethe yangena esitovini; kwaba kuphelile.71 Ngeli thuba omnye umfo wayefuna ukuba nguMkristu,waze wazama ngako konke anako; wakhala eNkosini. Wazawayiyeka isithuba seveki ezimbini okanye ezintathu, wazewathi akuziqonda ukuba ukuloo meko^Waphulukana


nengqondo yakhe. Waze wabuyela ezingqondweni wazibonaengemva eyadini enkqonkqoza iceba lenkonkxa entloko kuye.Wabaleka waya endlwini ngokukhawuleza wathabathaimidiza yakhe watshaya ipakethe ngaphambi kokuba emnkeendlwini ngolo rhatya, omnye nje emva komnye.72 ’Yabona, omnye wayebiziwe. “Akukho mntu unokuza kuMengathanga uBawo Amtsale, bonke aNdinike bona uBawobayakuza kuM.” Sasithetha ntoni eso silumkiso? Sasibubomikomnye. Wasibona. Awunakusibona ngaphandle kokubauThixo asityhile. Sifihliwe kumehlo eengqondi nezilumkosatyhilelwa iintsana ezo ziyakuthanda ukufunda. Injalo loonto.73 “U-Amram noJochebed babesazi ukuba yayilixesha, iyureyayisondele.”74 Kwaye ndifuna ukuyithetha lento ngeli thuba ndithethangayo. Asikokothandayo okanye obalekayo, nguThixoowenzela inceba. Injalo loo nto. NguThixo.75 Ngoko namhlanjeÔwu, mayitshone nzulu lento! Ukubanamhlanje uThixo ukubizile wakwahlula wawedwa kwizintozehlabathi namandla obuqaqawuli kaThixo akungcwalisilekwezo zinto, umelwe kukuba ngoyena mntu wonwabileyoukhoyo ehlabathini. Kukho izigidi ezinqwenela ukuba zibebezinokwenza njalo, kodwa azinako. Asikokwazo ukuba zibenaloo nto. Lo ngumhla apho ibandla libizwa likhutshwakwakhona, lahluliwe. Kwahlukile kwinto ekwakukade kuyiyo.Ewe!76 Xa abantu beqalisa ukuthandaza. Xa uSirayeli waqalayoukuthandazela umprofeti, uThixo wayenaye umprofeti.UThixo wayenomprofeti lonke ixesha, kuba uThixo wahlalaesithi qakatha phambi kwabo. Wayenayo indoda se ilungisiwe,kodwa Wayelindele abantu ukuba baye kuthandaza, ukubaabantu bayifune.77 Ingumzekelo endingathi ngonjani wanamhlanje loo nto.Into esiswele yona namhlanje ayingomvuseleli, asiyiyo enyeindoda ephuma kumbutho omkhulu ethile enokuthi ifumenewonke amaqela iwahlanganise ndaweninye. Into esiswele yonanamhlanje ngumprofeti othunywe ephuma kuThixo kunyenoMyalezo oyakuligweba ihlabathi. UThixo anganayo loondoda ukuba abantu nje bangayilungela. Niyazi ukubandithetha ngantoni na. Kungenzeka ukuba mhlawumbi unayondaweni ithile ehlabathini, kodwa abantu kumelwe bayifune.UThixo akazityhali nje izinto zihle ngemiqala yabantu.Umelwe ukuyifuna. “Banoyolo abalambela banxanelweubulungisa ngokuba bayakuhluthiswa bona.” Injalo loo nto!78 Emva kokuba uMoses waqatshelwayo_emva kokubaabantu, gxebe, baziyo ukuba babeswele inkokeli, baqalaukuthandaza. Baqala ukuthandazela ukuba uThixo


abathumele inkokeli okanye umntu othile oyakubakhupha,waze Wabathumela indoda, umprofeti. Lowo yayingumqondisowaKhe. Ngoku, ukuba lo mntu wayengengomprofeti, ukubawayephakame wathi, “Ndiyingqondi yezomkhosi,’ u_uSirayeliwayenelungelo lokungayikholelwa loo ndoda, ngokuba uThixongalo lonke ixesha ngokungenakusilela uthumele umprofeti.Biza ixesha libe linye eBhayibhileni elakhe lakho. Kuhlalanjalo ingumprofeti Amthumelayo eno ITSHO INKOSI.79 NoDavide ngokwakhe, ingqondi enkulu yezomkhosiawakhe wanayo uSirayeli, ukanti uDavide wayengumprofeti.Ngokuqinisekileyo wayenguye. WayenguDavide umprofeti.80 Walindela ukuba abantu babe nomnqweno entliziyweniyabo ukuba bamve lo mprofeti Wayeya kumthumela. Kakadelalikho iqela elalisithi liyafuna, elalingafuni. Kwabonakalakamva ukuba babengalunganga. Babenomdla nje, nemihlali,kwaye iBhayibhile yathi kwaphuma isihlwele esixubeneyonabo. Yenza ntoni loo nto? Yezisa inkathazo entlango. Kwayengalo lonke ixesha kwakusenziwa into yamandlaamakhuluÔwu, ndinqwenela ukuba ndibe bendinokuyenzaingene nzulu lento apha. Lonke ixesha uThixo ethumela intoethile, kukho okukrwada, ukulinganisa okukokwenyamakwayo okuphuma kunye nayo, lonke ixesha. Qho kukho intoyoku”zenzisa ngokokholo” yaloo nto. Kwaye loo nto ihlalakanye ngokukuko ebantwini. Kodwa umprofeti wenenekaThixo uhlala kunye no ITSHO INKOSI! Akasayi kuzeagungqe asuke eSibhalweni ukuba uthunywe nguThixo.81 UMoses wahlala ngokuchanekileyo eSibhalweni. UThixowathi, “Ndiyakubakhupha!” Wathi kuMoses, “Ndithume wenaukuba wenze loo msebenzi!” UMoses wayenamava;wayehlangene noThixo. Wayenalo iLizwi leNkosi.82 Isizathu sokuba uThixo athumele abaprofeti kungokubabaneLizwi leNkosi. ILizwi leNkosi liza kubaprofeti. Kwayeukuba akanalo iLizwi leNkosi, ngoko akangomprofeti.83 Kuninzi ukulinganisa okukokwenyama okuzama ukuthibangabaprofeti kuzo zonke izigaba zexesha, kodwa bahlalanjalo besimnka eLizwini leNkosi. Kodwa umprofeti weneneuhlala ngokuchanekileyo eLizwini! Ngoku, musa ukusilibalaeso sicatshulwa! Umprofeti wenene uhlala no-ITSHO INKOSI.84 UYesu wasiyala ngemihla yokugqibela ngokokuyakwenzeka. Kodwa i_isicaka senene, umprofeti wenene,akaze asilele ukuhlala kanye no-ITSHO INKOSI.85 UMoses wahlala ekunye neNkosi. Yayinguye umqondiso.Wayengumqondiso kuSirayeli ukuba umhla wakhewokuhlangulwa wawusondele, kwaye wayengumqondisokwiYiphutha ukuba umhla wayo wesiphelo wawusondele,kuba yarhaxwa yaphela phaya ku-Lwandle Olufileyo emvakoko, umkhosi kaFaro uphela. Babesesiphelweni samandla abo


ezomkhosi. Waye umprofeti wayengumqondiso wesiphelosesizwe.86 Yicinge! Mkhulu kangakanani na uThixo yaye Usebenzakubulula obungakanani! Ngokuqinisekileyo ukubaabangenamfundo abanakuyiqonda, abafundileyo bamelwekukuyiqonda loo nto. Ukuba amakhoboka aye kwimingxumayodaka lwaseYiphutha ayengenakuyiqonda loo nto yokubalowo yayingumprofeti ovela kuThixo nokuba ilixa lalisondele,kwakumelwe kangakanani ukuba ibhotwe likaFaro liyazi.Kodwa lolodidi olungaziyo. Nalo udidi oluyiphosayo njalo.87 Kwaye uMoses wema ekhangele ngezoo festile kwabobantwana bakwaSirayeli bedlulaÛSirayeli^KuFarobabengamakhoboka nezinja; kuMoses babengabanyulwabakaThixo. IBhayibhile itshilo ukuthi uMoses wanyula,wazenzela okwakhe ukunyula, ukuba athwale ihlazolikaKristu, elibalela ekuthini libobona butyebi bukhulukuneziyolo zesono, kuba wayekhangelene nomvuzo.88 UMoses wayesazi ukuba bona babengengobaphixi bodaka;bona babengabantu abanesithembiso. Ngokwakhe, wayezaziukuba wayengubani na. Wayengenakubaxelela; bamelwekukuba bayiqonde ngokwabo loo nto. Wayezazi okwakheukuba wawuyintoni na umsebenzi wakhe a_amelwekukuwenza. Wayesazi ukuba uThixo umvelisele le njongo,kodwa wayengenakubaxelela. Kwaye okoko babemfamekilekuloo nto, akazange azityhile ngokuphandle bade bayiqonda.Ngoko bawubona loo mqondiso, baze bawazi.89 Wathi, “Ndiyakumnika umqondiso uSirayeli. Thabatha lentonga; yijike ibe yinyoka. Ukuba abayiphulaphulanga loonto, ngoko faka isandla sakho esifubeni sakho, sikhuphe;ziphilise kwiqhenqa, ngoko baya kukholwa yiloo nto. Kwayeukuba abayivanga loo nto, thabatha amanzi uwakhupheemlanjeni weNayile ezantsi phaya, uwagalele kumhlabaowomileyo, aze onke amanzi abe ligazi.” Yayingumqondisowesizwe lowo. Abantu baya kukholwa nguwo ngokoÂbobalungele ukuwamnkela baya kukholwa nguwo bakuwubonaumqondiso kaThixo uqhubeka. Kodwa isizwe kukuba sibenento ethile eyahlukileyo. Ngoko Wabanika loo nto yonkeingumqondiso.90 UThixo wasebenzisa indoda, indoda ethobekileyo,umprofeti ukuba abe ngumqondiso wesiphelo saloo mekoyesizwe apho ezantsi. Thixo sithumele omnye; sivelisele omnye.Kwaye ukuba abantu bakaThixo bangathandaza kangangoko,Angamvelisa. Ngabantu abamelwe kukuba babe naloomthwalo. Bamelwe kukuba bavuke. Bamelwe kukubabaqonde. Bamelwe kukuba bazi ukuba ngowuphi na umhlaesiphila kuwo nokuba ziziphi na iimeko ezizijikelezileyophambi kokuba babe bangavuka. Ningaqhubela phambili


niphila kanye njengokuba benihleli nisenza: “Ndizakwakhaumzi omtsha kunyaka ozayo. Ndimelwe kukufumana inqweloengcono kuneyakwaJones. Ndimelwe oku^” Owu, okukhulukangako kwalento, ngeli thuba uqondayo ukubaakunamsebenziÎlungile loo nto, kodwa umelwe kukubauqonde, mzalwana, ukuba yonke le into iyakutshabalala!UYesu wathi, “Musani ukoyika lowo ubulala umzimba(isiqhushumbisi se-atom saseRussia)^Musani ukoyika lowounokuwujika lo mzimba ube luthuli oluqhushumbileyongemizuzu embalwa, kodwa yoyikani Lowo unokuwujika lomzimba ube lolo hlobo aze aphose umphefumlo esihogweni.”Yiyo leyo!91 Njengokuba ndandithetha nogqirha wangaphandleesibhedlele ngexesha umama wayelapho. Wayethetha ngokubaibaluleke kangakanani na into yokuba inzululwazi ibeizakusebenza ngezinto ezithile ezakhe umzimba, ize ifake iyezakuzo, ize ibone ukuba kutheni na ukuba loo nto ibulaleintsholongwane, ize iyisindise intsobi yobomi. Ndathi, “Yintoemangalisayo leyo. Intle nje kwaphela.” Ndamphulaphulaokomzuzwana, ndade ndathi, “Gqirha, yinto elungileyo leyo.Ndiyayivuyela loo nto. Ilungile; ndi_ndinombulelo kuThixongaloo nto. Kodwa khangela, nichithela ubomi benu bonkeekuzameni ukufumana into ethile esendalweni, kodwa kutheningamanye amaxesha ningakhe nicinge ukuba nguBani naoyidalileyo? Ngubani owayenzayo? Ngubani umseki wayo?NguThixo uMseki waloo nto. Unokuba mkhulu kangakananiuMdali kunendalo Awayenzayo? Kutheni lento sigxininisakangaka kwindalo ngeli thuba singacingi ngoMdali Owenzaamazulu nomhlaba waza wenza umzimba nobomi, abeenokuwutshabalalisa nangaliphi na ixesha Anqwena ngalo,ngokuba ungowaKhe.”92 Iba yinto enika umdla kakhulu le ukusebenza ngayo,umzimba womntu. Siyayibulela loo nto. Bakwazi ukutshintshailiso lisuke komnye umntu liye komnye, babe nokuthabatha loomisontwana icekethekileyo mincinane, baze bakhuphe ilisokumngxuma womntu, baphinde balifake ngaphayakumngxuma womnye umntu, ize loo ndoda ibe nokubona ngeloliso. Yinto emangalisayo leyo.93 Kwakudla ngokuthi ukuba umama, xa wayezakufumanausana, lube_lube usana lungenakuvela, waye_wayesenziwangolo hlobo, ukuze usana lungabi nakuzalwa, uninakwanosana babesifa bobabini. Yayinjalo loo nto. Kodwaawufane uve ngaloo nto_yayiyinto eyahlukileyo_mhlawumbiayisekho. Kodwa namhlanje bangathabatha loo mama emvakokuba sele ekuloo meko yokufumana usana, kwaye ukuba_xa umama sele esondele nga_ngamaxesha amaninziekufumaneni usana, bangamthabatha loo mama bamngeniseegumbini bamnike into ethile elalisayo yokulwa iintlungu


balukhuphe olo sana, abe noluqhelekileyo_u_ uzalo_bathabathe usana. Siyayivuyela loo nto.94 Ndixelele inkqubo ibenye. Ukuba uvale umbhobhokwindawo odibene kuyo apha ngaphandle kwindawo ethileehamba amanzi kwesi sixeko ukhangele ukuba kuyakwenzekantoni na kumbhobho ongomkhulu. Oko kuyakuwugqabhuza.Kodwa singawusika umlenze siwususe, siyinqumle ingalo,ukuze ngommangaliso kaThixo, Uyakwenza ukuba lidlule eloogazi ngenye indlela ngexa lesibini alibalekise lijikele ngenyeindlela ukusindisa obu bomi baloo mntu. Ngubani onokuyenzaloo nto? Ndixelele?95 Unqumle umthambo obaleka igazi omkhulu, unqumleowona mjelo uphuma apha kwindawo ethile emanzini ngelithuba impompo isebenzayo ukusuka kumbhobho odibanisayo.Iyakwenza ntoni loo nto? Yizame kube kanye ufumanise ukubakuyakwenzeka ntoni na. Akukho ndlela iyenye yakuba adlulengayo. Amelwe kukuthi adubule ebuyela emva kumbhobhoodibeneyo. Ukuba uThixo akazange enze indlela yokuba eligazi lizidlulele ngokwalo, ngokukhawuleza, lingathi likhelenyukela entliziyweni ungafa. Lonke ixesha uxinga umnwewakho, ibiyakuba kukufa ngephanyazo. Lonke ixesha usikekakwindawo ethile ethe yavula umthambo obaleka igazi, okanyeinto enjalo, ingakukufa ngequbuliso. Ukunqumla umnwewakho, ungaba ufile. Kuphelele apho. Lingadubula libuyelekanye entliziyweni yakho kwakhona, lize likubulale. KodwauThixo^

96 Ngoku, sicinga ukuba oko kuyamangalisa. Sicinga^Kuyinto emangalisayo, kwaye siyayivuyela indlela ethe ngayoinzululwazi ya_yaba nokwazi ukubopha loo mithambo yegaziize iyenze ukuba ingophi. Ilungile yonke loo nto! KodwayayinguBani Lowo Wakusekayo oko? ’Yabona, sikhangelakuyo yonke indawo silibale ngoMdali wayo. ’Yabona?Sikhangela kwizinto ezizezenyama silibale ngazo zonke i_izinto ezizezomoya. Nantso into esenza yona.97 Ngoku, abaprofeti bakaThixo ngabo a_abaneLizwi laKhe.Naso isizathu sokuba bakholwe abantu kubo. Naso isizathusokuba uThixo abe wathi kuMoses^Wathi phayakwiGenesis, kaninzi kwi-Eksodus, konke apho, “Ukuba kuthekweza phakathi kwenu umntu ongowomoya okanyeumprofeti^ Ngoku, siza kuzazi njani ezi zinto? Wathi, “Xaathe wathetha into, yaze yenzeka, athethe eyenye, yenzeke,ngoko kholwani kuyo.” ’Yabona? Ngumqondiso lowo. NgokoUnikela iLizwi laKhe, hayi kwiinkokeli, hayi kwabalawulangenkani, koko kubaprofeti.98 UKhrushchev akangomqondiso kwihlabathi. Hayi,mhlekazi! UHitler wayengengomqondiso kwihlabathi! Kodwakwenye indawo, kwindawo ethile uThixo wayenomprofeti


othobekileyo olindele ilixa. Nguye umqondiso! Nguyeumqondiso oyakuligweba ihlabathi usindise ibandla_loomprofeti.99 U-Eliya wayengumqondiso ngomhla wakhe, umprofeti u-Eliya. KwiÛngu_Wayengumqondiso weLizwi likaThixo.Umgwebo kwiYiphutha nokuhlangulwa kuSirayeli ukubababekholwa kuye^100 Ngaloo mhla wesono ka-Eliya xa wonke uSirayeli wayeseleebuye umva kuThixo, babeya kungena bonke esonweni. Babesebelulibele ulungelelwano; babesele bekulibele ukukhutshwabekhokelwa nguThixo, noYehova omkhulu owavula uLwandleoluBomvu waze wabakhupha eYiphutha, nomprofeti omkhuluonjengoMoses phakathi kwabo. Babesele bekulibele oko.Siyakulibala oko. Nina maWisile niyamlibala uJohn Wesley;nina maLuthere niyalibala ngoMartin Luther; nina maBhaptiziniyalibala ngoJohn Smith. Abaninzi bethu balibele ngoCharlesFinney, oyena umkhulu kubo bonke.101 Kuthiwa amashumi alithoba anesixhenxe ekhulwiniabantu abaguqulwa nguFinney abambelela. Amashumiasixhenxe anesihlanu ekhulwini kwabaka-Moodey bakreqakwisithuba sonyaka. Kwaye kwabaka-Wesley, iqelalobungcwele, lalihleli likreqa njalo. Kodwa uFinney wabanamashumi alithoba anesixhenxe ekhulwini. Omncinaneoyintwanana, obhityileyo, umfo onempandla owaphumakwiqonga lokushumayela wakhangela ngaphaya esihlwelenikanjeya, baze abantu baquleka ngokuba wahlalaematyholweni ngenye imini wade uMoya oyiNgcwelewambamba. Yayiyi loo nto! Wayengumqondiso wesiphelo,malunga namakhulu amabini eminyaka eyadlulayo, saloomvuselelo inkulu wathi uWesley nabanye banayo, nomgweboowawusiza. Wayengumqondisoêso sizukulwana sinesono.

102 Nendlela u-Eliya awayenokuma ngayo apho, enobugangaeqinile eyedwa (amen!), kungekho mntu unaye; kodwawayengumqondiso kaThixo. Isininzi sesifundisi sasiphumesemnka no-Ahabhi ngendlela yokwenziwa kwezintongokwangoku. Babengabezinto zangoku kweso sizukulwana.Kodwa yenjani indlela awathi ngayo u-Ahabhi wakudala,okanye_u-Ahabhi wakudala kunye naloo nzuzo yakhe yonkeinkulu, waze wangenisa ibandla lonke phakathi kubuKatol-^kungekubo ubuKatolika, koko iyinto ephantse yafana_ekunquleni izithixo, walizisa kwindawo abathi babhetye_bhetye kuyo, abanye babenokunqula ngale ndlela, kubeyinkululeko nje; “Ungenza nantoni na oyifunayo,” baba kolohlobo lwemeko^103 Kwaye nendlela awathi ngayo wema u-Eliyangokungqabavu no-ITSHO INKOSI. Owu Thixo, siphe indodaenjalo! Wayengoyiki ukuxelela u-Izebhele ngemeko yakhe.


Wayengamoyiki u-Ahabhi. Wayengoyiki ecinga ukubauphakamile. Wema enobuganga, wahamba waya ku-Ahabhi,wathi, “Akukho nombethe oyakuwa ndide ndiwubize.” Amen!104 Uyintoni? Ngumqondiso kweso sizukulwana sonayo.Ingaba uSirayeli wawubona? Hayi! Bamhleka, bahlekisangaye. Wachaza kwangaphambili ukuba kuyakubakhoimbalela, ukuba kuyakubakho_kuyakubakho ingxaki,ukulamba, indlala. Waze waprofeta ngokunobuganga emiyedwa no-ITSHO INKOSI! Wathi, “Nkosi, bababulele basukabonke abenyaniso. Bababulele baphela. Ndim ndodwa oseleyoomi neLizwi laKho!” Yayimalunga nantoni ingxaki? NeLizwilikaThixo.105 U-Eliya wayefuna ukuhlala kunye neLizwi.Wayengumprofeti wenene. Abanye abaprofeti babethe, “Owu,kulungile, oko akwenzi mahluko ungako. UYehovaakakhathali, uyazi.” UYehova akakhathali! Kunyanzelekileukuba ibe liLizwi laKhe. Kwaye u-Eliya wemangokungqabavu kwela Lizwi naku-ITSHO INKOSI. UThixowamnika imfihlelo encinane ngamhla uthile. Wathi,“Ndinamawaka asixhenxe, Eliya, othe wangqina kuwo phayaphandle. Akanasibindi saneleyo sokuphuma ayibange loo nto.Azimele ematyholweni jikelele; kodwa ezintliziyweni zabo,bazizicaka zaM. Abagobanga dolo kuBhahali. Bayoyikaukuyenza loo nto. Kodwa ndininika umqondiso, kwaye wenaungumqondiso. Yima phaya phandle, uze ume kwiLizwi laM.Ndiyakukukhathalela. Banike umqondiso.” Haleluya! Thixosithumele okunjalo, othile oyakuba ngumqondiso weLizwilikaThixo. Kwaye sonke isithembiso uThixo awasithembisayosiyakuxhaswa kuloo mntu, kuba yena ungumqondiso,umqondiso olityelweyo.106 Owu, babecinga ngokuba u-Ahabhi wayengukumkaniomkhulu nazo zonke izizwe zazimoyika, oko kwakanele.Kodwa u-Eliya wayengumqondiso weLizwi. Ngumprofetiwenene lowo, umqondiso weLizwi. Ngoko ngelo thubawayengumqondiso weLizwi, babengakholwa kuye;babengenanto babenokumsebenzisa kuyo.

107 Wayengumqondiso kumhlolokazi xa uThixo wamthumelaphaya ngaphandle kwiNtaba yeKarmele, ezantsi kwe_phezuluemfuleni weKeriti, wamthumela apho ezantsi emva kokubawayemondle ngamahlungulu waza watsha umfula. Wehlawaya kule ndlu yomhlolokazi. Yindawo enjani enokuyiwangumshumayeli. Kodwa wehla waya apho, ngokuba uThixowamxelela ukuba makaye. Kodwa Wehla waya apho. Wathi,“Ndimyalele ukuba akondle.”108 Loo mhlolokazi wayemelwe kukuba nomqondiso^Yenawayemelwe kukuba ngumqondiso ngelo thuba umhlolokaziwayelapho phandle, enokudla okwanele nje ukuba enze


iqebengwana esenzela yena nenkwenkwe yakhe ukuba balidle,negubu elanele_i-oli ekwigubu yokwenza iqebengwanaelincinane elikhaphu-khaphu ekuphilwa ngalo. Wathi,“Ndilapha phandle ndichola inkunana ezimbini.”109 Ngaloo ntsasa yoyikekayo, ishushu, ibengezelayo xa loomfo mdala unobuso obukhangeleka bunoboya, iinweleezingwevu zijinga emqolo kuye, waphuma apho, yabeibengezela inkqayi yakhe, wangqiyama ngesango, wathi,“Ndiphe intwana yamanzi ndisele,” waze wathi, “ngaphandlekoko, undiphathele intwana yokudla esandleni sakho,iqebengwana!”110 Wathi, “Andinakudla kwaneleyo. Ndilapha phandlendichola iinkunana ezimbini zokwenzela unyana wamiqebengwana. Ndinokwanele nje ukwenzela yena libe linyekunye nam. Sizakudla ke sife.”111 Wathi, “Musa ukoyika, kuba ITSHO INKOSI.” Nantsoindoda esiswele yona. Yayingathi, “Kuba, okokusenokwenzeka, dade; kusenokwenzeka. Andazi.” Hayi, hayi!U-Eliya wayeqinisekile ngethemba. “ITSHO INKOSI, laamphanda awusayi kuphela nelaa gubu le-oli aliyi koma kudekube yilo mini uThixo ayakuthumela imvula ngayo phezukomhlaba.” Amen! Nantso ke. Loo nto yayifanele ukubangumqondiso owaneleyo kuye.112 Yena umele ibandla namhlanje. Emva kokuba u-Eliyawahlala naye ithutyana^wayenenkwenkwe encinane. Yazeyagula. Ingulo yayo yaba yembi kangangokuba kudekungabikho mphefumlo ushiyekileyo kuyo; yafa. Ngokowenzani yena! Ibandla sele liyibonile loo miqondiso. Kodwayintoni? Kuthi nje ukuba kufike ukuxakeka okuncinane,ngokukhawuleza lifune ukugxeka ibandla ngaloo nto. Wafunaukugxeka u-Eliya. Wathi, “Wena mfo wakwaThixo, ngoku uzeapha ukuza kundikhumbuza ngezono zam uthabathe ubomibonyana wam.”113 U-Eliya wamthabatha unyana lowo, wenyukela kwigumbieliphezulu apho wayelala khona apho phezulu, wambekaphezu kwebhedi yakhe, wazolula phezu kwakhe, wathi, “NkosiThixo (Haleluya!) buyisela umphefumlo wale nkwenkwe!”Laza usana lwavuka.114 Walithabatha walihlisa elibuyisela, waze loo mfaziwakhangela kolo sana, waze wakhangela kuye kwakhona; ngokowayesazi ukuba kwakukho into ethile ekhoyo apho; wathi,“Ngenxa yoku ndiyazi ukuba iLizwi likaThixo lisemlonyeniwakho.” Amen! Wayengumqondiso kuloo mhlolokazi. Wathiakubona amandla kaThixo, Ophilisayo kungenjalo abulale,evusela usana lwakhe ebomini, wathi, “Ngenxa yoku, ndiyaziukuba wena uyindoda yakwaThixo.” Wayazi loo nto. Izizwenamhlanje zingayihleka loo nto njengoko benzayo ngoko.


Babengenakuyikholelwa. Kodwa loo mfazi wayesazingokwahlukileyo. Kwakungumqondiso kuye apho, njengokubawayengumqondiso wokuvusa unyana wakhe ambuyiseleebomini. Abo baprofeti bahlala njalo beyimiqondiso kaThixo.

115 Ngethuba u-Eliya ngoko wabizelwa kukhuphiswanolwamandla, wathi, “Ukuba uThixo unguThixo khonzani Yena.Ukuba uBhahali unguthixo, khonzani yena!”Âyinakubangumhla omangalisayo lowo ku-Eliya namhlanje? Ukubaezopolitiko zinguthixo, khonzani zona! Sifumene ntonikwezopolitiko? Senze ntoni? Asifumananga nto koko yinqwabayokonakala. Akukho nto siyifumeneyo, kodwa silahlekelwekuko konke, phantse siso sonke isihlobo ebesinaso kuzo zonkeizizwe. Apho kule veki iphelileyo silahlekelwe zezibinikungenjalo ezithathu zezizwe ezizezinye zingenakubuKomanisi. Sirhafisa abantu size sifumane imali yabosiyithumele ngaphesheya phaya ukuba yondle abo bantubajike bangene kubuKomanisi nje ukuba bomelele. Bubuhana-hanisi obo. Injalo loo nto!

116 Sibanga ukuba singaMakristu. Masifane naMakristu;ngoko kungabi ngakondla nezinto ezinjalo. Koko kuneyonaincinane; oko_okoÛmntu nje oqhelekileyo onentliziyoelungileyo angayenza loo nto. Lunqulo olo; asilosindiso.Baninzi abantu abafumana unqulo kunye nosindiso luxutyiwe.Unqulo kukondla abahlolokazi namahlwempu njalo-njalo;lunqulo olo. Kodwa usindiso luzalo olutsha, ukuzalwangokutsha. Yahlukile ke loo nto. Unqulo, ubuMohammedlunqulo. Zininzi iinkolo.

117 Ngoku, phezu kweNtaba yeKarmele ngaloo mini wakubizaolo khuphiswano, waze wabiza u-Ahabhi kunye namawakaababingeleli ababengabasetempileni yamahlelo abo; wababizelaphezu kweNtaba yeKarmele, wathi, “Nyukani nize apha!Hlanganani nam apha phezulu! Ndiyakumelana nalo lonke eloqela!” Wenza ntoni? Wayeno-ITSHO INKOSI. Wayengoyiki.Wathi, “Nikelani ngenkunzi ninqule uBhahali. Makathi uThixoophendule ngomlilo abe nguThixo.”

118 Ngoko yonke imini ngokokude kusukele kusasa kube semvakwedinala, baxhuma bakhwela phezu kwesibingelelo; bazijeca;bakhala; bakhwaza. U-Eliya wahamba esiya emva naphambili,wathi, “Khwazani ngokukhulwana, mhlawumbi usathabatheuhambo lokuya kuloba okanye into enjalo. Mhlawumbiusaphumile kukho into ayizamayo!” kuba wayeno-ITSHOINKOSI. Wayanelisekile; wayeneLizwi likaThixo. Kwayemzalwana, dade, yintoni eyenye anokuthi nawuphi na umntuayiswele kunedinga likaThixo. UThixo wathi Uyakuyenza loonto. Njengokuba u-Abraham wabalela ekuthini uThixo unakoukukwenza oko Athethe ngako. Wazi ukuba uThixounokuyenza loo nto, ngokuba uThixo wayetshilo.


119 Ngoko wa_ngoko wababiza ukuba benyuke baye apho,ngoko bazijeca bakhwaza yonke imini kwade kwangumnikelowangokuhlwa, ngoko u-Eliya^Khangela indlela awayenzangayo loo nto! Into yokuqala awayenzayo yaba kukuqengqaamatye alishumi elinesibini awahlanganise. UThixo akahluka-hlukananga. Amahlelo emvaba ayawahlula amabandla, kodwahayi uThixo.

Omnye ethe, “UnguMkristu?”120 “NdingumBhaptizi.” Ngoko, oko akungaphezulu kokuthiuyihagu.121 Athi, “NdingumWisile.” Ngoko, oko akungaphezulukwehagu kwakhona kuThixo.122 Ndithi, “UnguMkristu na?” Ukuba unguMkristu umelwekukuba ufane noKristu, uhlalise ngaphakathi kuweubungcwele bobuNgangamsha, ngoMoya oyiNgcwele njengokowawayo ngomhla wePentekoste. Hayi imihlali ethile, kokondithetha iPentekoste yenene. ’Yabona? Kulungile!123 “NdingumPentekoste!”; “Ndi_ndingowobunye!”; “Ndi_ndingumTriniti!”; “Ndi^” Owu, bethu, oko akungaphezulukokuba uthi ubuyenye into. Akuthethi kwanto kuThixo. Okokuyahlula.124 Nantso into eyenzeka phaya ezantsi phakathi kwaloomadoda okholo. Kodwa u-Eliya waqengqa laa matye alishumielinesibini wawahlanganisa ukubonisa ukuba uThixounguThixo omnye ephezu kwabo bonke, wawaqengqawawahlanganisa.125 Ngoko wathi akuwahlanganisa olo hlobo, waxhelainkunzi yenkomo waza wayibeka phezulu phezukwesibingelelo seenkuni. Wathi, “Ngoku, ukuze niqinisekeukuba akukho kwenza buqhinga kule nto, hambani niyekulanda ishumi elinesibini lemiphanda yamanzi.” Wazengenene wazimanzisa ngamanzi ezo nkuni. Owu, haleluya!Wayefuna ukubonisa ukuba uThixo wayenguThixo. Ngokubakutheni? Wayeno-ITSHO INKOSI. Wayengumprofeti.WayeneLizwi likaThixo.126 Ukuze kuthi ngaloo mini ukuba babesithi uyakukhuphangaphandle ebandleni, bayakwenza oku, okunye,ukubabhaptizela eGameni likaYesu, nazo zonke izintoezahlukeneyo ezilolo hlobo. Yimfeketho! Ngu-ITSHO INKOSI.127 Umntu othile othandekayo ngobunye ubusuku, wayethethanam; weza wandigangxa ezingalweni zakhe, wathi, “MzalwanaBranham,” wathi, “ndifuna ukukubuza into ethile.” Wathi,“Ukuba unokuthi wenzelele nje kancinane ngale nto uthethangayo^”

Ndathi, “Intoni?”


Wathi, “Lonke olo bhaptizo.” Wathi, “AmabandlaaseChicago nako konke jikelele akufuna nje ngenene, kodwaoyika ukuba uyakusuke uchaphazele loo nto.”128 Ndathi, “Ngokuqinisekileyo, ndiyakuyichaphazela.Ngokuqinisekileyo, ndiyakuyichaphazela.”

Bathi^”Ke, nantso kuphela into abayichasileyongakuwe.”129 Ndathi, “Ngoko abachasenanga nam; asindimowayithethayo. NguThixo owayithethayo. Ndimema nabani nakubo ukuba eze andixelele ukuba iphosakele loo nto.”’Yabona?130 Wathi, “Ke, uyabona, u_umelwe kukuvumelana wenzeubudlelane.” Ikwayiloo nto inye ababefuna ukuba ayenze, u-Ahabhi. UThixo akenzeleleli. Hayi, mhlekazi! Akenzeleleli.

Wathi^Wathi, “Ngoku, Mzalwana Branham, ndifunaukukubuza into. Ingaba iNgelosi yeNkosi^Wathi,“Siyayikholelwa sonke iNgelosi yeNkosi. Ingaba iNgelosiyeNkosi yiyo eyakuxelela oku?”131 Ndathi, “Andikhathali nokuba iNgelosi yeNkosi ingatsho.Nokuba ingayiNgelosi yeNkosi, Eyakuthetha loo nto. Kodwaukuba Ithethe okuchaseneyo, IbingeyoNgelosi yeNkosi leyo!”Ndathi, “Nangaphandle kokuba iNgelosi ithethe ntoni naokanye nantoni na eyenye eyithethileyo, uPawulos wathi,‘Nokuba kusuke iNgelosi ephuma eZulwini yashumayelanayiphina ivangeli eyenye kuni, mayiqalekiswe.’”132 INgelosi naye wonke ubani aphaÊzinyezingokwenyama, into ekhukhumeleyo ethile xa sithethangengeelosi. Kwaye uJoseph Smith, uBrigham Young nazozonke ezi zinto zingamaqela wenkolo yama-Adventist, nayoyonke enye into, babona zonke iintlobo zezinto ezilolo hlobo,kodwa zihlala zichasene neLizwi. Kodwa uThixo uyalixhasaiLizwi laKhe. LiliLizwi laKhe.133 Ndathi, “Oko kuliLizwi leNkosi! Ngokuqinisekileyo, konkeendakhe ndakwazi ndakufundiswa nguYe. Andizange ndiyekwiziko lemfundo okanye esikolweni. Kuvela kuYe.” Kodwandathi, “Nokuba bekuchaseneÛkuba bekuchasene naloonto, ngendingazange ndikholwe kuYe, kuba oko^LiLizwilikaThixo kuqala; yonke enye into ibe bubuxoki.” ILizwilikaThixo, hlala kunye naLo.134 Ngoko u-Eliya wathi akugqiba, wazimanzisa ngamanzizonke ezo ziqobo ngaphezulu ngeshumi elinesibini lemiphandayamanzi, wawagalela ngaphezulu phezu kwaloo nto. Wabuyaumva apho ezole nje kangangokuba wayenokuba nako. Kuba?UThixo akanakuxoka. UThixo owamxelela oko. Wathi, “NkosiThixo ka-Abraham, ka-Isake, nokaSirayeli, makwazeke ngalomhla ukuba unguThixo Wena, ndaye mna ndisisicaka saKho,


kwaye ndikwenze ngokomyalelo waKho oku, ngokuba kungu-ITSHO INKOSI! Ndenze oku ngenxa yokuba Wenawandixelela kona, ngokuba kungokweLizwi laKho!Makwazeke ngoku ukuba Wena unguThixo!” Waze umliloweNkosi wawa, walidla idini, iinkuni ezimanzisiweyo,wakhotha amatye, nayo yonke enye into, wasusa yonke into.Ngoko uSirayeli wakhwaza, amawaka asixhenxe, “UThixomakabe nguThixo!”135 U-Eliya. Kuhle kangakanani ukubona lowo mncinane,mdala, ukhangeleka ebuthathaka, umzimba onqinileyooshwabene wonke, loo ntonga incinane isesandleni kuye, igubuelincinane le-oli lijinga ecaleni kuye, nesiqwenga senguboyegusha simjijele. Kuba babeyakumfaka entolongweni ukubawayehambe esitratweni. Kodwa bayeka abafazi ukuba banxibeiibhulukhwe ezimfutshane, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyoabanakuyenza loo nto (’yabona?), baye kumntu othile^Kengoko^Kodwa be_nanko esihla enqumla apho esiza,enqumla induli. Phezu kwezo nkuni^136 Ngoku, iNtaba yeKarmele ingesiso esincinane_esincinaneisithuba sendawo esilapha phandle esizikithini sentlango;yintaba enkulu. Ihamba ngokuza ngecala ngolu hlobo, inyukeiye kutsho encotsheni, ikhangele phezu kolwandle. Kwaye u-Eliya kunye noGehazi babaleka baya kutsho phezuluencotsheni. Kwaye u-Eliya wawa ngobuso bakhe apho waqalaukulila kuThixo umqolo wakhe ujongiswe ngaseNtshona,ukhangele elangeni. Iminyaka emithathu neenyangaezintandathu kungazange kwawa nombethe lo. WathikuGehazi, “Hamba uye kukhangela ubone ukuba kukho intoonokuyibona na, ilifu eliphuma phezu kolwandle.” Wema phezukwale ntaba, ekhangele ngaphaya, wathi, “Andiboni nento le.”137 Wahlala kanye kuloo ndawo! “Thixo ukuba aba bantubathe baguquka, ukuba aba bantu babuyele kuWe, ukubabalungele ukusuka kuyo yonke le mfeketho babuyele eLizwinilaKho, ngoko Wena unguThixo ukuba ube nokuphendulaiLizwi laKho.”138 Mandithethe kwaloo nto inye namhlanje. Thabathani lamahlelo emvaba niwaphule. Libalani ngezi yantlukwanozobuhlelo nivumele abantu babuyele kwiLizwi likaThixo,kumgca wokuqingqa, ndaye ndiyakuniqondakalaliselaÛkuba usekho uThixo onako ukuphendula ngomlilo.139 Ndicela abantuûkuba babize kuThixo^MakathiuThixoÔyakuthi abize umntu. Abantu mabaceleumprofethi, uThixo uyakumbeka phambi kwabo. Ndimemaizizwe ukuba zenze loo nto. Yiwa ngobuso ucele uThixo ukubaathumele umhlanguli uze ukhangele ukuba kuyakwenzekantoni na. Yenze nje kube kanye. UThixo uyakuphendula.UThixo uhlala esenza njalo.


140 Wawa ngobuso wathi, “Thixo, makwenzeke namhlanje.Aba bantu bakhe bachasana naWe. Aba bantu babeqhekekebazizo zonke iintlobo zamahlelo phaya phandle. Kodwanamhlanje UZiqondakalalisile. Wena unguThixo. Kwayeabantu bathe, ‘Lahlelani kude uBhileham!’ ndaye ndiwabulelela mawaka ababingeleli. Basukile endleleni ngoku, Nkosi.Zonke izithintelo zimnkile, izithintelo ezincinaneebezisahlula.” UmWisile angathanda ukuza kunqula kunyenomBhaptizi; umBhaptizi angathanda ukuza angenenabakwaMoya, abanyanisekileyo ngentliziyo phaya ezantsi, lamawaka asixhenxe anyanisekileyo; kodwa abanakuyenza loonto. Ukuba bathe benza njalo, bakhatyelwa ngaphandlekwamabandla abo. Abanye babo abakhathali; bayeza nokubakutheni na. Injalo loo nto.141 Kodwa mabathi bonke badilize elo kratshi bahlanganebathi, “Siyakuzilibala zonke ezi zinto ziyimigaqo apha,nekatekizim, nayo yonke enye into esifunda kuyo; masibuyeleeLizwini leNkosi.” Khangela ukuba kuyakwenzeka ntoni nangoko. UThixo uyakubavelisela umprofeti_Ngokuqinisekileyouyakwenza njalo_oyakuLizisa kanye kubo ukuba sebelungeleukuLamnkela. Kuqala bamelwe kukuthandaza. UThixouyalinda.142 Ingaba kuyinto engaqhelekanga ukuba uThixo afuneukuba abantu babe nenxaxheba kuloo nto? Xa uYesuwakhangela phaya phandle esivunweni, Wathi, “Amasimiavuthiwe, abasebenzi ke bambalwa. Thandazani ngokoeNkosini yokuvuna (yayinguYe lowo)_thandazani kuM, ukuzeNdithumele abavuni baye ekuvuneni kwaM.” Yinxaxhebaethile omelwe kukuyenza. UThixo ulindela ibandla laKheukuba libize kuYe. Wahlala eyenza loo nto. UThixo ulindeabantu namhlanje ukuba babizele umkhonzi waKheemsebenzini. Kwaye umkhonzi akanakungena emsebenzinibade abantu bathandaze.143 USirayeli wayengenakungena msebenzini phaya ezantsikunye nemiqondiso nezimanga bade bawa ngobuso babobathandazela umhlanguli. UThixo wayenaye umhlanguliwaKhe. UThixo wayenomprofeti owayejinga phaya phezulukoozintlango, wamgcina apho ithuba lamashumi amaneeminyaka elindele bona ukuba balunge bathandaze. Kodwabathi bakulunga baqalisa ukuthandaza, ngoko uThixowathumela umhlanguli. UThixo uyakwenza into enyenamhlanje, ukuba abantu bangathi bahlangane, baqaliseukuthandaza. Konke kulungile!144 Wayengumqondiso kwabo baprofeti bobuxoki naku-Ahabhi ukuba yena wayengumkhonzi kaThixo.Wayengumprofeti kaThixo. Ngoko kananjalowayengumqondiso kuSirayeli ukuba wayenokuvala amazuluokanye avule amazulu xa wayenqwenela ukwenza njalo.


Wayenguwo ngokuqinisekileyo. Ndixelele ukuba ngubani naonokuvala amazulu. Ndibonise abe mnye onokuvula amazulungaphandle koThixo. Kwaye iLizwi likaThixo_iLizwilikaThixo likubaprofeti.145 UMikaya, umqondiso kuYehoshafati. UMikayawayengumqondiso kuYehoshafati ukuba uThixo umgcina ekhoumprofeti wenene.146 Ngoku, qaphela! Wayenamakhulu amane abaprofeti; u-Ahabhi wayenabo. Waze wabiza ukuba kuze loo makhulumane abaprofeti. Baze ngamxhelo mnye bamxelelaÛkanti,ezantsi kuloo ntliziyo kaYehoshafati, indoda yakwaThixo,wayesazi ukuba kwakukho into ethile ephosakeleyo. Wayesaziukuba kwakukho into ephosakeleyo. Wathi, “Anisenaye naomnye?” Emva kokuba amakhulu amane ayemi apho?147 Wathi, “Aba ngabaprofeti bonke, abaprofeti bakaYehova.Nangaya a_amaWisile, amaBhaptizi, amaPresbhithari,aboBunye, nabo owu bethu, bethu, amaTriniti nazo zonkeiintlobo ezahlukeneyo. Besinabo bonke apha. Kwayengamxhelo mnye bathi esi sesona sizwe sikhulu sikhoyo.Asimelwe koyika nto malunga,” njengenkwenkwe encinaneibetha umlozi phakathi kwamangcwaba, uyazi, xa isoyika.Musa ukuzikhathaza ngaloo nto.

Wathi, “Kodwa aninaye na omnye?”Wathi, “Owu, ewe, ukhona ongomnye apha, kodwa,”

wathi, “ndimthiyile!” Wathi, “Uhlala ethetha izinto ezimbimalunga neli lizwe. Uhlala njalo esithi into embi izakusihlela.”148 UYehoshafati wathi, “Ndi_Ndingathanda ukumva!” Owu,ewe! Wayeyintoni? Umqondiso. Ngaphandle kokuba mingaphina imibutho okanye amahlelo eemvaba, uThixo wayesenayeumprofeti ohlala kunye neLizwi.149 UYehoshafati wayesazi ukuba u-Ahabhi wayegwetyiwe,ngokuba laa mprofeti wenene u-Eliya, wayengumqondisoezizweni, wathi, “Izinja ziyakulixhapha igazi lakho.”^?^Kunjalo. Wayesazi ukuba laa Izebhele kunye nayebabezakuhlelwa yiloo nto. Wayesazi ukuba kuyakuba njalo.’Yabona?150 Kwaye uMikaya_uMikaya wathi^Benyuka beza kuyebathi, “Ngoku, ndixelele, ukuba uyafuna na ukungenakumbutho olandelayo, ndiyakukuxelela into oyakuyenza, uzeuvumelane nje nokuba bonke abashumayeli banyanisile.’Yabona? Uze uthi kuye, ‘Nyuka.’” Waza wathi, “Uvume nje.”Wathi, “Ndiyakukuxelela into esiyakuyenza. Siyakwenza^Siyakuqinisekisa ukuba ungena kumbutho wethu, ukubauyakwenza nje loo nto (’Yabona?), ukuba uyakwenzelelela njekwezi zinto zimbalwa uthetha ngazo. Ungene nje_ungene


uvumelane nabo, uhambe ubheke phambili kunye nabo.”Haha-haha! Ungaqikelela ukuba umprofeti wenene kaThixoangemnka eLizwini likaThixo? Unga^

Ke, aba bafo bathi, “Kodwa sibone umbono,” la makhulumane abaprofeti, “Siyazi. Singabaprofeti. Siyazi, kubasingabaprofeti!”151 UMikaya wathi, “Andithandabuzi ukuba nibone umbono.Andikuthandabuzi nakancinane oko, ukuba nibone umbono.Kodwa awukho ngokweelaLizwi.” Amen! Wathi, “Namndibone umbono.” Amen! Owu, yiba nenceba.Wayengumqondiso. Wayengumqondiso. Wathi, “Ndiboneumbono, kwaye ndimbone uSirayeli enjengezimvuezingenamalusi zithe saa phezu kwenduli, zingenamalusi.”

Kwaye lo mongameli-jikelele mkhulu, ubhishophuwenyuka wammonxoza emlonyeni, wathi, “Uphume wayaphiuMoya kaThixo ekumnkeni kwawo ukuphuma kum?”152 Wathi, “Uyakubona xa sele uvalelwe entolongweni.Uyakubona.”

Yena_u-Ahabhi wathi, “Fakani laa mfo entolongweninimnike isonka sosizi nimnike amanzi osizi ukuba awasele.”Wathi, “Ekubuyeni kwam ndinoxolo,” wathi, “ngokondiyakubona emandikwenze kuye.”153 UMikaya wakudala wema apho eno-ITSHO INKOSI.Wathi, “Ukuba ubuyile oku kokubuya, uThixo akathethangakum.” Nantso ke! Wayeyintoni? Umqondiso, njengabaprofetibakaYehova, abaprofeti bakaThixo bahlala kunye neLizwilikaThixo.154 Ukuba ufumana umprofeti othi umelwe kukubhaptizwakwizihlonipho zikaYise, Nyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele,ngumprofeti wobuxoki lowo. Ukuba uthi kukho umprofetiphakathi kwenu othi bathathu oothixo, ngumprofeti wobuxokilowo. Akukho Sibhalo sako konke oko. Injalo loo nto! Kodwaumprofeti wenene kaThixo uyakuhlala nela Lizwi. Kwayeukuba umbono wakhe uchasene nelaa Lizwi, asingomprofetiwenene ophuma kuThixo lowo.155 Akukho ndawo eBhayibhileni apho nabani na wakhewabhaptizelwa kwizihlonipho zikaYise, Nyana, MoyaoyiNgcwele.156 Khangela kuPawulosi phaya phezulu entolongweni, iJudaelincinane elinempumlo egoso, enempandla engqengqe aphophezulu, echithe amashumi amabini eminyaka kwintolongoyaseRoma. Wabhala ezi ncwadi. Ngoku, ucinga ukubababecinga ntoni abashumayeli babafazi ngoPawulos xa wathi,“Mabathule abo bafazi emabandleni; andibavumeli ukubabathethe”? Ndicinga ukuba ngebamenza into ngenene. Ucingaukuba bacinga ntoni abo bhishophu, abo bhishophu, xa bathi


bathetha zonke ezo zinto zahlukeneyo, “Yiyeke le into apha,nale apha, konke oku, okuyaÛPawulos, ndixelele, ngubanilo mfo kanene, lo mfo ungqengqe apha, lo mfo ungqengqe aphaentolongweni?” Kodwa wayehlangene noYesu. Wayeyazi intoawayethetha ngayo. Kwaye ngokuphuma kwakwelo qela linye,emva kokufa kukaPawulos, ekugqibeleni babumba ngelo qelaloo bhishophu nabakhulu, kwiBhunga laseNiceae, yaze loo ntoyabumba ibandla lobuKatolika, besimnka kwiLizwi likaThixo.Nako apho bangena khona ooYise, Nyana, Moya oyiNgcwelebakho. Ndicela umngeni nakubani na, naphi na, nakwisiphi naisizwe ukuba aqondakalalise oko ukuba akunjalo.

157 ITSHO INKOSI ubhaptizo kusetyenziswa isihloniphosikaYise, Nyana, Moya oyiNgcwele lolobuxoki. ITSHO INKOSIndiyalela wonke umntu kuni nina balapha, nakwabamameleikhasethi abangengakabhaptizwa eGameni likaYesu Kristu,ukuba babhaptizwe kwakhona eGameni likaYesu Kristu.

158 UPawulos kwiZenzo 5:9_okanye 19:5, wathi, “Namamnkelana uMoya oyiNgcwele nakholwayo nje?”

Bathi, “Asazi nokuba kukho uMoya oyiNgcwele.”

Wathi, “Nabhaptizelwa enini na phofu?”

159 Bathi, “Sibhaptiziwe.” Kodwa hayi kubhaptizolobuKristu! UYise, Nyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele” ayilobhaptizo lobuKristu. Akukho Mkristu wakhe wabhaptizwangolo hlobo eBhayibhileni kungenjalo kumakhulu eminyakaemva kweBhayibhile. Ngumgaqo wobuKatolika ingeyiyoimfundiso yoBukristu. Ndibonise eBhayibhileni. Bu_Bubutshilikithi. Kukusebenza kwedemon. Andithethi kuthiabantu ababhaptizwe ngolo hlobo bayiloo ndlela. UThixounabaninzi abantu apho phandle namhlanje abangaziyo ukubakokuphina okungcono.

160 Kodwa ilixa lifikile. Simelwe kukubuyela eLizwini ukubasilindele ukuba uThixo asebenze ngalo mhla njengokoWenzayo ngoko.

161 Ndathi kumama ngethuba wayebhubha_phambi kokubaabhubhe. Ndathi, “Mama, ndakuba ngumKristu, njengomfanandaqalisa ukufuna ndifumanise. Ndandisazi ukuba kwakukhouThixo ngemibono oyaziyo nezinto ezenzekayo konke aphaebomini.” Ndathi, “Ngoko ndifumanise ukuba ibandlalamaKatolika lithe, ‘Sithi ibandla. Akwenzi mahluko nokubaithini na iBhayibhile; sikholelwa kuloo nto ukuba iyinene;kodwa sithi ibandla. Oko sikuthethayo, uThixo ukubophaeZulwini.’” Ke ngoko, bayenza ngolu hlobo. Ngumzimba omnyelowo. “AmaLuthere athe, ‘Baphosisile, thina siyikholelwa ngalendlela.’ AmaBhaptizi athi, ‘Baphosisile; thina siyikholelwangale_ndlela!’ Kwaye kukho amakhulu aloo mibutho.” Kuba,unganalo njani ukholo? Nguwuphi kubo onyanisileyo?


162 Inye into eyinyaniso; ndandingayazi ngoko. Ndathi,“Mama, ndiye ndabuyela eBhayibhileni ndaze ndafumanisaindlela ababeyiyo abo bapostile bokuqala, uhlobo lwebandlaababenalo, indlela ababefundisa ngayo, nezinto abazenzayo.Ndaze ndenza ngokuchanekileyo kanye ngendlela abenzangayo, indlela eyathetha ngayo iBhayibhile; ndaze ndafumanakwa ezo ziphumo zinye.” Amen! Uxolo ngokusebenzisaingcaciso enjalo, “Kodwa i_incasa yokudla yaziwangokudliwa kwako.” Yinyaniso leyo! Ndafumana kwa ezoziphumo bazifumanayo. Ewe!163 Ngoko awunakwakha themba phezu kwento ekukhoamakhulu alithoba wendlela ezahlukileyo zokuya ngale ndlelanangaleya indlela. Ndaze ndafumanisa ngaphayaeBhayibhileni ukuba uYesu wathi ngokwaKhe ukuba umntuuyakususa iLizwi libe linye okanye aLiguqule kule Ncwadi,nabani na oyakongeza nantoni na kuLo, okanye asuse nantonina kuLo, kwaloo mntu uyakukhutshwa, isabelo sakhekwiNcwadi yoBomi. Oko kubonisa ukuba igama lakhebelikhona apho kulungile, kodwa liyakucinywa.164 Owu, simelwe kukubuyela kweli Lizwi. “Amazulunehlabathi ayakudlula, kodwa iLizwi laM alisayi kusilela.”Ewe, mhlekazi! “Malithi lonke ilizwi lomntu libe bubuxokielaM ke libe yinyaniso,” watsho uYesu. Masihlale kunyeneLizwi! Ewe! Owu, bethu! Ewe!165 UYehoshafati wayesazi ukuba uThixo ugcina umprofetiwenene ohlala kunye neLizwi laKhe aze angenzeleli ngaLo.166 Hayi, mhlekazi! Uhlala kunye nalo kanye, amakhuluamane echasene naye ngeziprofeto zawo kananjalo, kodwaokwakhe yayiliLizwi likaThixo nomqondiso okwamnye nezozinto. Kwaye ndithi namhlanje, into esiyisweleyo yindoda,umprofeti, aveliswe phakathi kwethu oyakuma neLizwilikaThixo ngaphandle kwayo nantoni na ethethwa nguyenabani na okanye nayiphi na imvaba yobuhlelo eyithethayo.167 UMikaya wayengenantsebenziswano. UMoseswayengenantsebenziswano. UNowa wayengenantsebenziswano.Akukho namnye kubo owayena_ owakhe wasebenzisana. Konkekuchasene nabo. Kodwa bangumqondiso kwimihla emibiphambi kokuba uThixo athumele umgwebo. Kwaye uThixouyaligcina iLizwi laKhe kwaye ufuna ukuba iLizwi laKheligcinwe ngabantu baKhe. Mayibongwe iNkosi!

Ngoku, siyehla siya ekuvaleni, okwemizuzu embalwa njengoku. Ngoku, phulaphulisisa.168 Kwakukho indoda ethunywe ivela kwaThixo egamalinguYohane, umqondiso womprofeti. Phambi kokuba uYesuabe wathi weza emhlabeni ukuza kuZichaza, Wathumelaumprofeti phambi kwaKhe. Ingaba Wayenza loo nto?Wathumela umprofeti. U-Eliya weTestamente eNdala


waprofeta ukuba kuyakuza onamandla ka-Eliya,weTestamente eNdala. Wayeya kuba ngumqondiso womprofetiwokuba uYesu wayesiza, ukuba kwakukho uMesiya ozayo.169 Kwaye xa uYohane waphuma entlango, wayengumqondisowokuba uMesiya Wayesendleleni. Xa uYohane wavelayo,uSirayeli wayemelwe kukwazi ngabaprofeti bakhe^Nakoapho bayiphosa khona abantu. Abakholelwa kubaprofeti babo.AbakholelwaÂsikholwa kwinto awayithethayo uPetrosukuba yayiyinyani ngomhla wePentekoste.” Abakholelwaukuba yayiyinyaniso leyo. Abakholelwa kwinto awayithethayouPawulos_kwaloo nto inye yenziwa nguPetros_waze wathi,“Ukuba iNgelosi ephuma eZulwini ishumayela naliphi naiLizwi elilelinye, mayiqalekiswe.” Abakholelwa kuloo nto!’Yabona? Abakholwa yiyo! Kwaye babengakholwangabaprofeti babo. Ukuba babazile, babeyakwazi ukuba u-Isaya wathi, “Kuyakubakho izwi lomemeza entlango eliyakulungisa indlela phambi kweNkosi.” Ngebabeyazile loo nto.Wayengumprofeti, itshawe kubaprofeti. Wabaxelela, kodwaabazange bakholwe yiloo nto. Hayi, hayi! Wathi, “KukhouMesiya ozayo.”170 Le ndoda yayiyindoda ethunywe kwaThixo. Owu,mzalwana. Yayingalandelwa. UThixo wayinika abalandeli,umhlambi omncinane, kanye njengokuba Wenzayo ku-Eliya.UThixo wayinika abalandeli bayo. Ayizange ibafumanekumbutho othile wezopolitiko. Yashumayela iLizwi, yahlalaphezu kweLizwi likaThixo, waze uThixo wayinika umhlambiomncinane. U-Eliya wahlala phezu kweLizwi likaThixo.UThixo wamnika umhlambi omncinane.171 Le ndoda yayingenakusebenzisana kuthile.Yayingenabalandeli, ingenantsebenziswano, ingenguyeowehlelo, wayengaceli nto, engoyiki nto. YayinguYohane lowo.Kuba? Wayeyindoda eyayithunywe ivela kwaThixo. Nasoisizathu sokuba abe wema. Wayengu-Eliya emi aphonokuqondakalalisa ebantwini ukuba uMesiya wayesiza. Wathi,“Ndililizwi laLowo udanduluka entlango, njengoko watshoyou-Isaya umprofeti. Yilungiseni indlela yeNkosi!”

172 Abo baFarisi nabaSadusi bema apho bexambulisanamalunga needyasi zabo nezinto ezinjalo. Kanye ngelo thubababexambulisana bexoxa ngazo, wangena kanye esizikithiniphakathi kwabo, kwafika uMesiya ehamba. UYohane wathi,“Bonani, nguYe lowo.” Haleluya!173 Mkhangele! WayeMazisile. “NguYe lowo. Umi kanyephakathi kwenu ngoku.” Malunga nelo xesha, amazulu aduma,uYesu wahamba wangena emanzini, waze uYohane wathwalaubungqina, ebona uMoya kaThixo unjengehobe usihla, iZwilikhwaza “Lo nguNyana waM eNdikholisiweyo kukuhlalakuye.” Owu, bethu, bethu!


174 UYohane wathi, “Ngoku, ndimelwe kukuba ndinciphe;ande Yena.” Owu, onjani umprofeti. Ngumqondiso kuSirayeli.Ewe, mhlekazi!175 Wayeyindoda ithunywe ivela kwaThixo, nakubeni utatawakhe wayengumbingeleli. Owu, ewe! Uyise uZekariyawayengumbingeleli. Kodwa ingaba uqaphele, uThixowayengenakuvumela loo mprofeti axubane nemibutho yabo.Uyise ngewamthathayo wamsa ngaphaya kwisikolosezakwalizwi, kwelikhulu elinguthile-thile ihlelo, wamenzaumlungiseleli ophume izandla, uyazi, waze wamqeqeshakakhulu wamnika into eninzi yawayengafanelanga kubanako. Kodwa uThixo wayengenakuvumela ukubaumphefumlo wakhe ungcoliseke. Niyaqonda?Wayengenakuvuma ukuba loo ndoda ixubane nemibutho.Akazange abe ngowawo nawuphi na kuwo, akukho qelalankolo, abaFarisi, abaSadusi, okanye amaHerode, okanyenantoni na ekwakunokuba yiyo. UThixowayengenakuyivumela loo nto.176 Wayezelwe ngendlela engaqhelekanga. Wayengumntwanaongaqhelekanga. Wayengumprofeti. Uyise wayengumbingeleli,kodwa Wayengenakumvumela axubane nabo bonke ubuhana-hanisi babo, iinkolo zobuFarisi nezinto ezinjalo. Wenza ntoni?Wamthabatha wamkhuphela entlango wamqeqesha entlango.177 Okunjani ukuqeqeshwa! Amen! Wamqeqesha ngamava.Kokona kungcono oko. Ukwazi uThixo^Wathi ukuphumakwakhe, wayesazi ngokuchanekileyo ukuba wawuyintoniumyalelo wakhe. Kwaye uThixo wawungqinela loo myalelo.WaWungqinela phi? Emlanjeni. Ngoku, ukuba ungakwaziukudibanisa isibini nesibini uthi sisine^Phezu komlambo!Wathi, “Ndililizwi lalowo wadandulukayo entlango,‘yilungiseni indlela yeNkosi, wutyenenezeni umendo waYo.’”

178 UYohane indoda ethunywe ivela kwaThixo. UThixowayengenakumvela ukuba angcoliswe yiloo nto. Wamqeqeshaentlango ngoThixo. Wamqeqesha, kungekuko kwizikolo zabo,hayi kwizifundo zezakwalizwi zabo. Ukuba waYeyakwenzanjalo, ngewayengxalwe ngayo yonke into enjengoko kuphumaezikolweni namhlanje, zonke iintlobo zezikolo;ingengomaPresbhithari nje, amaBhaptizi, namaWisile kokoizikolo zabakwaMoya, zibi kangako nazo, naziphi na kwezozikolo zeLizwi zibakhupha apho. Hayi!179 Uyeza^Watsho uMoya ka-IsayaÛyeza, ukuzakukaYohane kwakuxelwe kwangaphambili eSibhalweni. U-Isaya 40 ne-3 wathi, “Ndiyakuthuma umthunywa waM phambikwamâlungise indlela^” Kungenjalo, lowoyayinguMalaki 3. WathiûMalaki 3, wathi, “Uyakuthumaumthunywa waKhe phambi kwaKhe. Umprofeti, umprofetiwokugqibela ekwathethwa ngaye. Into yokugqibela


eyayithetha ngaye. Khumbula, iNcwadi yokugqibelayeTestamente eNdala yathetha ngokuba u-Eliya uyakuzakubantwana bakwaSirayeli phambi kokuba abonakalalisweuMesiya.

180 Ingaba senilungile? INcwadi yokugqibela yeBhayibhile,iSityhilelo, iyasibonisa ukuba kuyakubakho ukubuya okuthilekwakhe ngemihla yokugqibela esiza kwibandla labeeNtlanga,umqondiso. Indlela abayiphosa ngayo. Uprofetiwe ukubauyakuza kwakhona kanye nje phambi koKuza kwesibinikweNkosi. KuMalaki isahluko se-4 nakwiZityhilelo, kananjalo,isahluko se-3, sisixelela ukuba uyakuba lapha ngemihlayokugqibela, ukuba kwalowo wema ethubeni ngenxa yabantukunye nomhlambi omncinane awayeyakuthi uThixo amnikewona. Uyakufika ngemihla yokugqibela. UThixo watsho.Uyakuba ngumqondiso kwesi sizwe seNtlanga sokuba ixeshalaso alisekho.

181 Kwaye khumbula, xa avelayo, ixesha lisondele!Masithandaze kuThixo ukuba amthumele. Ixesha lisondele!Nje ukuba ulungiselelo lwakhe lube lwaluphelile, uMesiyawaZibonakalalisa.

182 Nje ukuba lo umkhulu uyakuza ngemihla yokugqibelaagqibe ulungiselelo lwakhe, uMesiya uyakuZibonakalalisa.Kuyakuba njalo. Ixesha lisondele, ngoko kungcono sithandaze.Kungcono uqalise ukuthandaza.

183 Ungumqondiso ovela kuThixo kwesi sigabaoyakuqondakalalisa oko Akuko. Wonke umntu uyakuyazi loonto. UThixo uyakuyingqinela. Uyakubonakalalisa imiqondisonezimanga ezingazange zenziwe phezu komhlaba ngaye.Andithethi ukuxhuzu-xhuzula, ukushukumisa, nokuthethangeelwimi. Uyakubuya neLizwi likaThixo njengokubayayinjalo le ndoda. Kuba? Kuprofetwe ukuba uyeza kuMalaki4 nakwiSityhilelo 3, ngoko uyakuza. Akukho ntoiyakumthintela; uyeza (amen!) uyakuba lapha. Amen! Mabawengobuso babo abantu namhlanje baqalise ukuthandazakuThixo bakhangele oko kuyakwenzeka. Niyakumbonaebonakala esemandleni. Ewe, mhlekazi!

184 NgokweSibhalo umyalezo womqondiso wakhe uyakubakukuguqulaÛyakuba yintoni owakhe^Siyakumazingokuba eyakuba yintoni? Siyakwazi njani ukuba ngowuphina yena?

185 Uyazi, uSirayeli wayibuza loo nto ngaxesha lithilengaphaya kwiDuteronomi isahluko 20, ivesi 20, ndiyakholwayiyo. Wathi, “Siyazi ukuba lo uyakuba ngonguye? Sazi njani?”UThixo usixelela ukuba siyakumazi. Uyakwenza ntoni?Uyakuguqulela iintliziyo zabantwana zibuyele kuMyalezowePentekoste yakuqala ekuqalekeni.


186 Owu, bethu! Umqondiso ongaqatshelwanga, umqondisooyinene, kwaye bayawuphosa. Bahlala besenza njalo. Emvaukuya kwibandla lenene, uMyalezo wenene.187 Uyakuma yedwa ngokuchasene namahlelo, engqabavuengenaloyiko no-ITSHO INKOSI. Akayi kwenzelelelanakuliphi na ihlelo; akayi kuba nanto yakwenza nawo. Akayikuyekelela kuyo nantoni na na. Uyakuba ngongqalileyoeLizwini, ITSHO INKOSI. UThixo uyakulungqinelaulungiselelo lwakhe ngemiqondiso nezimanga, ukutyhilwaokukhulu kweLizwi, nokuveliswa kubantu. Yenjani iminiesondeleyo! NjengokubaÛyakuma njengokuba wenzayouPetros noYohane_ngomhla wePentekoste. Emva kwalooPentekoste kukuze babe nokuzaliswa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele,babhaptizwa apho, bema kuloo ntendelezo ye-Sanhedrin;bema apho benabo bonke ubuganga ekwakunokumiwa kubo.Bathi, “Siyanalela ukuba nifundise ngeGama likaYesukwakhona.”188 Wathi, “Ingaba okona kulungileyo kukuphulaphula ninana okanye uThixo? Zigwebeleni ngokwenu.” Engazi nto,engafundanga! Amen! OkukaThixo^Babengabaprofeti.Babengabaprofeti, bethanjiswe nguThixo. BabeyimiqondisokaMoya oyiNgcwele. Babengabaprofeti. Babesazi.189 Babefana nje kunye noYohane. Babekhe benyuka bayaapho ePentekoste, kwaye babenento abayifumeneyo.Babengafani nabaninzi babashumayeli bethu namhlanje,abangabendlela yokuzithandela kwabo, beqhayisa ngokubaungakanani na ukuba mkhulu umbutho esinawo, bangaphi naesinabo kumaqela ethu amakhulu. “Simi ngokombuthoomkhulu. Senza umsebenzi omkhulu wokumisela amabandla.”Owu, yiba nenceba! “Owu, sinezihlwele ezikhulu kunabobonke abanye.” Yintoni na? Kukutsala ngokwezopolitiko!Ndifuna ukuba uphulaphulisise okwale ilandelayo mibini,imizuzu emithathu.190 Ukutsala ngokwezopolitiko! Ngokuqinisekileyo, ndikhendathetha into kwimizuzu embalwa edlulileyo; niyazi ukubandithetha ngantoni na. Ngomqondiso oprofetiweyo. Ndiyiyeke,ndayibeka phambi kwenu. ’Yabona? KeÎngekuni nodwanilapha, kodwa kwabo bayakuva, iphezu kwenu! Yenzaningayo nantoni na enifuna ukuyenza. Maze nithandaze niboneuThixo enyakaza kuloo ndawo. Mkhangeleni EzalisekisaiLizwi laKhe. Ulindile.191 Xa iziqhushumbisi ze-atom, nabantu besoyikakwiPentagon (umanyano lwezizwe ezikhulu ezihlanu), abaziukuba mabenze ntoni na, imiqondiso esisimanga esibhaka-bhakeni yezinto ezingaziwayo ezikhanyayo ezibhabhayo, nayoyonke into awathi uThixo wayixela kwangaphambili, lixeshalaloo-Eliya_ukho kwindawo ethile_ezakuthi gqi.


192 Mabathi abantu, mawuthi lo mhlambi mncinane, loomasalela mancinane, ayakuthi uThixo amnike wona, ithi loontsalela incinane iye kubizo lokubizelwa ngaphandle nguThixoukhangele ukuba kuyakwenzeka ntoni na. Kuyakubakhoumboniso wamandla wesizwe. Kuyakubakho amandlaabangazange bawabone ngaphambili. Inkathazo kulento yile,ngeli xesha kuyakube seliphele kakhulu ixesha kubo. Ingcangoziyakube sezivaliwe. Ngoko khumbula, sisekuphelenikwexesha. Thandaza!193 Khangela namhlanje kulento siyibiza ngokubalulungiselelo. Yintoni le sinayo? (Ngoku ekuvaleni ndifunaukuthetha oku. Yintoni le sinayo? Akukho nto sinayo. Ezinyezenkokeli zethu eziphambili, abona baphambili, babavangelibethuÔmnye wabona bavangeli baphambili bethu wathi,“Ukuba ndinokufumana ishumi ekhulwini labantuendibaguqulileyo bebambelele unyaka wonke, ndiyakubanombulelo kakhulu.” Ngoku nkqu kungekudalanga kakhuluwathi uFinney wafumana amashumi alithoba anethobaekhulwini wabo. UPawulos waba nekhulu longezwengamakhulu_amakhulu ongezwe ngamakhulu. Omnyewayesindiswa, wayezaliswe kangako, mzalwana, wayehambaaxelele umntu ongomnye; aze axelele omnye umntu; azeaxelele lowo; kwaya ekubeni zizigidi. Kuba? Babenento.BabekwiLizwi.194 Namhlanje sicinga nje ngezihlwele ezikhulu. Yintoni na?Ngumbutho wezopolitiko. Ukuba thina siyeza_umvangeliothile obalulekileyo ufika esixekweni, yintoni ezakuqala?Liqela lamadoda. Kwaye ukubaÔnke amaWisile,amaBhaptizi, amaPresbhithari, ewonke, benza indawanaencinane abajonge ukuyiphumeza abaÛmelwekukushumayela oku kuphela; yaye akanakukushumayelaokuya; kwaye akanakukushumayela oku; kokounokushumayela okuya.” Yintoni le sinayo? Kwaye bayenyukabaye apho^195 Abafazi_ndithetha ngabakwaMoya_abafazi bayangenaapho, benyuke baye esiguqweni^baqalise ukucenga^

196 Ndandihleli ndichasene nokubizela esiguqweni.Ndisenokukhe ndiyithethe loo nto. Andikholelwa kwezo ntozinjalo. Akukho nto injalo eBhayibhileni. Angeza njaninawuphi na umntu ngaphandle kokuba uThixo umbizile?Awunakuze umenze angasondeli. Akukho nto umele ukuyibizaukuba uThixo umbizile. Ukubizela esiguqweni yimbonoyobuWisile leyo. Injalo loo nto! Ukubizela esiguqweni^Babebafumana bonke, bathi, “John, uyazi, umama wakhowabhubha kwixesha elide eladlulayo^197 Owu, Yho-yho; ewe, mzalwana; Yho-yho.” Asiyonguqukoleyo.


198 Apha kubusuku obumbalwa obudlulileyo sasino_nomboniso eLouisville umfazi owangeniswa ekwibhokisiyomngcwabo, yabekwa eqongeni kwindlu eyayiyokugcinaizixhobo. “Amakhulu abantu,” kwathiwa, “Balekani niyeesiguqweni.” IVangeli ayisosoyikiso. Ayikokuziva unosizi;yinguquko yokuhlabeka.199 Khangela kwezi nkonzo, abavangeli abakhulu, kwaye nkqunolwam oluthobekileyo, ulungiselelo oluncinane_ndingazikhupheli ngaphandle^Ngamanye amaxesha ndizivandineentloni ngokuphuma. Kunjalo! Senza ntoni? Siyemasibizele esiguqweni sibacenge. Amantombazana amancinaneenyuke aye apho abe ehlafuna iintshungama. “’Yabona,’yabona, ndiyaya^” [UMzalwana Branham uyalinganisa_Mhl.] Aba bafazi benyuka baye apho benqothule iinwelebenobuso obuqatyiweyo_abakwaMoya_bangene, bazebaphume, bathi bathethe ngeelwimi; bangakhe baziyekezikhule iinwele zabo baze benze kwaloo nto bebeyenza.Undixelela ukuba yinguquko leyo? Yimpoxo kuThixo leyo.IBhayibhile ithe kusisono nehlazo kubo ukuba bachebe iinwelezabo. Angathini umfazi onenwele ezinqothuliweyo ukugxekaumfazi oziqaba ubuso? Naye usenokubuqaba. Iyeza iyureyokuba izembe libekwe ezingcanjini zomthi, ukuze wonkeumthi ongathwali siqhamo silungileyo ugawulwe uwiswe.200 Kwenzeke ntoni? Yayingekho ndleleni. Kuba aba bethubangoku, abo babizwa ngokuba ngabashumayeli aphaphandleîziqhu ezikhulu, nabanobuyoko-yokoabaphakamileyo, nemibutho, abazinto ngoThixo kunokubauNoqhakancu esazi ngezithwalandwe zaseYiphutha. Xakufika^Benyuka apho^201 Kwakuyakuthini ukuba abantu ngomhla wePentekostebabenyuke apho bathi, “Ngoku, uYesu wasiyalela ukuba sinyukesize apha sihlale side samnkele amandla avela phezulu. Ngoku,bazalwana, lithoba lonke leentsuku silapha; masiyamnkelengokholo loo nto. Ngoku, sinawo uMoya oyiNgcwele.Siyaphuma^Ngokuba sibekho apha; sikwenzile okoebesixelele kona uYesu.” Ngekwakungazange kubekho mava.202 Mandinixelele into. Ndiyazi ukuba eli likhasethi, kodwanantsi isiza nakanjani na. Phulaphula ndizakukuxelela into.Kulihlazo, abantu ukuÂndizange ndikholelwe ekubeniuMoya oyiNgcwele wawukukushukuma. Andizangendikholelwe ekubeni uMoya oyiNgcwele yayikuku_bubungqina bokuthetha ngeelwimi, okanye ukulila, okanyeukukhwaza! Ezo zinto zimvakalelo zemihlali. Ndiyakholwaukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele unokuyenza loo nto. Kodwa uMoyaoyiNgcwele bubungamsha obungcwele buhleli ngaphakathi.Kwaye ndiyakholwa ukuba iqela elikhulu labantu elibangaukuba linawo uMoya oyiNgcwele alazi nento enye malunganaWo. Uhlangana noThixo!


203 Indlela ekwathi ngayo ngomhla wePentekoste, bathi,ngoku njengamaBhaptizi namhlanje, amaPresbhithari,namaWisile, ndiyabuza, “Ingaba uyakholwa ekubeni una^”204 “Owu, ewe, siwamnkela ngokholo.” Ngokholo, akukhokwanto! Asinguwo lowo. Yimihlali.205 Uyakuthanda ukubona ukutshona kwelanga, uze umeukhangele ilanga lisihla litshona, ulile, iinyembezi zihle.AsingoThixo lowo. Loo nto yimihlali esuka kwinto ethileekuwe. Xa uthe weva ngomntu othile ogulayo okanye umntuothile ofayo, uyakhwaza ukhale, asingoThixo lowo. Loo ntokukuvakalelwa kobuntu. Indlela uThixo^

206 Ndakhe ndababona abantu kumdlalo webhola bevuyakangangokuba bade bathintithe ngemilebe yabo, nayo yonkeenye into. Ungandixeleli. Siswele imvuselelo, usindiso.Kwaye abantu bakwaMoya bayafika benze abantu babenomdla, babaxelele ukuba xa bathe bathetha ngeelwimibawufumene uMoya oyiNgcwele. Kwaye abanye babo baphilazonke iintlobo zobomi emva koko. Phulaphula, mzalwana,ngomhla wePentekoste kwakungenjalo. Babengazangebaxhomekeke kuthetheni ngeelwimi okanye nakwiyiphi nainto. Ngethuba babelapho bemi kwindawo enye bemxhelomnye, uThixo wehla ngenene phakathi kwabo. Babona phezukwakhe ngamnye ukulenyeza komlilo okumalunganjengokuya kujinga phezu kweentloko zabo. UThixowayekho! Yayingeko kuthi “umamnkela ngokholo” okanyengokuziva ngemihlali okuthile. Babezaliswe nguMoyaoyiNgcwele, baze baphuma ke baqalisa ukuthetha ngeelwimi.Kodwa kuqala bahlangana noThixo. Nantso intoengundonakele namhlanje. Abantu benziwa nje babenomdla,ibe yimihlali, ibe ingenguwo uMoya oyiNgcwele. UMoyaoyiNgcwele kukuhlala ngaphakathi kobuNgangamshabobungcwele. Amazwi akho liLizwi laKhe. Ndiyakuxelela,into esiyisweleyo namhlanje lubizo.207 Abantu bayangenaÂbafazi abafana nabo bayangena,bathethe ngeelwimi, babuye baphume, kwaye ukhe wayakwindawo zabo nje apho akhoyo amabandla abo^208 Ndinqwenela ukuba abe uBilly ebehleli apha. Ndisandulakufumana incwadi evela emazantsi phaya kwindawo ethilengenye imini apho umfazi wathi, “Ndingowombutho othileomkhulu^” Owona mbutho mkhulu wabantu bakwaMoya,umbutho omkhulu wamatriniti. Waze wathi, “Bonke abafaziphaya kuthi, Mzalwana Branham, bonke bayazicheba iinwelezabo. Bendineenwele ezinde ezimnyama.” Wathi, “Bendihlelindizithanda, ngokuba bendikholelwa ukuba ibizezeNkosi.”Wathi, andizange ndiqabe make-up. Ibandla lethu lifundisaukuba loo nto yeyodidi lwakudala.” Wathi, “Bandixelelaukuba xa bendisonge iinwele zam zazisisipha emqolo, bathi,


‘Khangela apha, unevili elingenamoya emqolo’ nazo zonkeizinto ezinjalo. Bathi, ‘Uthwele elingenamoya_ivilielingenamoya ekhosi kuwe.’” Waze wathi, “Ekugqibeleniumyeni wam wathi, ‘Kutheni ungazichebi nje iinwele zakhoufane nabo bonke abanye aba.’” Ngoku, ndinencwadiephindela kuye. Wathi, “Ingaba kunjalo (Ndive kwelinyelamakhasethi akho) ukuba ubhaptizo loBukristu luseGamenilikaYesu Kristu?” Ngoku, niyazi ukuba uyakufumana ntonina akunjalo? Ehe, ewe! Wathi, “Ndixelele, MzalwanaBranham, ndilambile; ndifuna ukwazi ukuba ndenze ntonina.”209 Ndizakuthi, “Uhlazekile laa myeni ukreqileyo wakho nelaaqela lingenaThixo ukhonza kunye nalo. Phuma phakathikwabo!” Kunjalo! UThixo akanakuguqu-guquka. Xa uThixoethe wathetha into, sukube Enyanisile. Andikhathali nokubabangaphi na abashumayeli abangabakreqi abafunaukwenzelelela ukuze babe nombutho omkhulu kungenjaloiqela. Siswele abangabosindiso. Amadoda ayakuma axeleleamakhosikazi wabo ukuba enze ngolo hlobo, lincinane ithembaendinalo kumava enu okuba ngaMakristu. Kunjalo! Guqukakungenjalo utshabalale! Tyhini le!210 Ungena ngolo hlobo, ujoyine amabandla_iicawezakwaMoya_ubuye uphume ungakhe uguquke nakancinane,uhlale useyiloo nto, ungakhe ushukume nakancinane. Owu,ukuba lusizi! Yintoni na? Ngoo-Izebhele bala maxesha. Mnyekuphela umfazi eBhayibhileni owakhe waziqaba ubuso, wazeuThixo wondla ngaye izinja. Oo-Jezebhele bangoku barhuqaoo-Ahabhi babo ngeempumlo. Nayiphi na indoda enobufazieyakuvumela umfazi wayo ukuba enze ngolo hlobo, anxibeiibhulukhwe ezimfutshane nezinto, aze aphume aphaesitratweni, enxibe iilokhwe, ekhangeleka ngokungathiuhlinzwe waqiniswa ngokwe-weiner inyamakazi, ehlinzweyonke ngolo hlobo, aze ahambe (Andiyithethi njengesiqhuloloo nto_ asiyondawo yakuqhula le. Eli liLizwi likaThixo!Liyinyaniso! Kunjalo!) Ehle ngesitrato enelokhwe emqhinekangangokuba angabi nakho nokuhamba, ithi indoda ethileyakuba nento eyithethayo malunga naye ufune ukulwa nayo.Ubumelwe kukuba ube_ubethwe emhlathini (injalo loo nto!)Ngenxa yokumvumela enze into enjalo. Oko kubonisa ukubaunjani na. Kunjalo kanye.211 Into esiyisweleyo yiVangeli. Thixo, velisa umntu othileabonakale obuyele kanye eLizwini. UThixo wathi asiyiyonento ehloniphekileyo kumfazi kwa ukuba eze enkonzweniathandaze iinwele zakhe zichetyiwe. Kwaye umfazi ochebaiinwele zakhe uneÎndoda inelungelo eligqibeleleyolokwahlukana naye. Ungumfazi ongenantlonipho. IBhayibhileitsho. Akanantlonipho kumyeni wakhe. Usenokungayazi loonto. Nawuphi na umfazi oyakuthi anxibe iibhulukhwe


ezimfutshane akanantlonipho. Usenokungayazi yena loo nto.Nkosazana, andizami kukukhathaza. Ndizama ukukusindisaedikeni lomlilo, isihogo! Guquka!212 “Ke,” utsho, “Ndinawo uMoya oyiNgcwele.” Uze wenzengolo hlobo? UThixo akhele ngaphakathi kuwe, kwalo Thixowathi kuwe ungayenzi into enjalo?

213 “Ke,” utsho, “Ndiye ndathetha ngeelwimi.” Ndakhendazibona iidemoni zithetha ngeelwimi. Ndakhe ndabona e-Afrika besela igazi ngeqokobhe lentloko yomntu, bathethengeelwimi, bathandaze kumtyholi. Ndakhe ndakwiinkampanizamagqwirha nabathakathi apho babethetha ngeelwimi bazebazitolike. Ndakhe ndabona iintsiba zokubhala ziphezukwetafile zize zibhale ngolwimi olungaziwayo, ize indoda ifikeitolike loo nto, kwaye yinyani. Ungandixeleli ngeelwimi.Sinento eninzi yazo ngoku. Ukanti ndiyakholwa ukuba uThixounalo ulwimi olungaziwayo. Ndiyakholwa ukuba uThixouyathetha ngeelwimi ezingaziwayo, kodwa musa ukuthembelakuloo nto! UPawulos wathi, “Ndingafanelana ndithethangeelwimi zabantu nezeeNgelosi ndingenawo uMoyaoyiNgcwele, andikabi yonto. Ndingafanelana ndinokususaiintaba^”

214 Abantu abaninzi bazama ukuthi, “Owu, le yindodaebalulekileyo yakwaThixo. Ukuba unokubona imimangalisoemikhulu.” Kuba, iidemon ziyaphilisa_iidemon ziyaphumazenze izinto ezilolo hlobo. Ndiyazi ukuba amagqwirhaayaphuma enze izinto ezilolo hlobo, libe nefaskoti eliyijijeleyokanjeya, baze bafake imali; athabathe iinwele ezisuka ngemvaentloko kuye, azizamise egazini aligalele phakathi^Bazeabantu be_abantu abanyanisekileyo_ bayakholwaÂsinguloo mntu; ngabo bantu bekholwa ukuba basondelakuThixo ngelo gqwirha.

215 Akazange atsho uYesu ukuthi, “Baninzi abaya kuza kuMngaloo mini bathi, ‘Ndandineemvuselelo ezinkulu zempiliso’”?Asingomqondiso lowo. Ngumqondiso wokuba sisekugqibeleni.Akazange atsho uYesu kuMateyu isahluko sama-24 malunganevesi yama-24 kananjalo, 24:24^Waze Wathi, “Abaprofetiababuxoki bayakuvela ngemihla yokugqibela benzeimiqondiso emikhulu kangangokuba balahlekisenabaNyuliweyo ukuba bekunokwenzeka.” KodwaabaNyuliweyo bemi phezu kweLizwi! Bayazi ukuba uyintonina umqondiso wenene.216 Angathini umntu owenza izinto ezinjalo ophika ukholokuThixo, athi ungumprofeti ovela eNkosini? Kungathiniehlabathini ukuba indodaÎsenokuba ngumprofeti, njengabobabenjalo phaya ezantsi ngemihla ka-Ahabhi, uYehoshafati,xa uMikaya waphakamayo. Kodwa babenomnye apho ezantsiowema phezu kweLizwi. U-EliyaÎLizwi leNkosi lalibhale


ukuba u-Ahabhi uyakufikelwa sisiphelo sakhe, kwaye umbonoka-Eliya wawukunye naloo nto. Kwaye nayiphi na indoda_nayiphi na indoda ezibiza ngokuba ingumprofeti ngokomoyaiyaqaphela ukuba lonke ilizwi lale Nto liyinyaniso.217 Angathini ukuba ngumtriniti? Angathini ukubhaptizaeGameni looYise, Nyana, noMoya oyiNgcwele aze athiuthanjiswe ngoMoya? Angathini ukufundisa abantu loomposiso aze abe esathanjiswe ngoMoya? Ayinakwenzeka. Yintoengenakwenzeka.218 Ndiyaqaphela ukuba oko akuyonto yaziwayo, kodwaasifuni kuba ngabaziwayo; kukunyaniseka okufunekayo kuwe.219 Ngoku, u-Izebhele no-AhabhiÊwe, mhlekazi! Ngoba?Bayenzelani loo nto? Batheni aba bafazi ukuba bakwenze oko,bagcine iinwele zabo zingekho, baze baqabe imake-up, bazebaphume banxibe iibhulukhwe ezimfutshane abe amadodaedlula kufutshane nezinto ezilolo hlobo. Abayeni babo benzeloo nto? Ngokuba abanaye umprofeti wenene kumaqonga abookushumayela ukuze abaxelele inyaniso. Babaxelela,“Kulungile, akukho mahluko apho. Ilungile loo nto.Awumelwe kwenza nto ngaloo nto”220 WenaÔko liLizwi leNkosi! IBhayibhile ithe nawuphi naumfazi oyakunxiba iimpahla elungiselelwe indoda ulisikiziphambi koThixo. UThixo akagugu-guquki. Angathini Yenaukuguqu-guquka aze abe nguThixo? Ungongenasiphelo!221 Baswele umprofeti wenene obaxelela ukuba loo ntongumqondiso wesiphelo. IBhayibhile ithe bayakuyenza. U-Isaya isahluko se-5 uthe abafazi bayakwenza loo nto ngemihlayokugqibela. Ngokuchanekileyo! Ngoko nabo ke.222 Kodwa bathi banomprofeti epulpitini. Uyaloyika iLizwilikaThixo, hayi^Woyika ibandla. Masithandaze kuThixoukuba asithumele oko kuKhanya kwamva, ezo Zibanezangokuhlwa, asithumele lowo Wathembisa ngaye, kwiBandlaelinyuliweyo eliya kuchaza oko kuyinyaniso, lime kwiLizwilikaThixo. Bayeke ooJezebhele noo-Ahabhi^Ngokoliyakubahlula. Oko kuchanekileyo.223 Khumbula, bathi abafazi bakuqalisa ukwenza ngolohlobo^Ngoku buyela nje emva kwindawana xa bathi baqalaukucheba iinwele zabo nokwenza ngolo hlobo. Ekuqalenikwabafazi ukuba benze kanjalo, kungelo xesha, ngeso sigabasexesha, apho u-Eliya ngemihla yokugqibela ayakuvelanomqondiso wokuphela kwexesha_enomqondiso wokuphelakwexesha_njengokuba kwakunjalo ngemihla kaLothe.’Yabona? Umqondiso wexesha lesiphelo^Xa bathe abafazibaqala ukwenza njalo^Benza ngoloo hlobo ngoku. Kwayekungelo xesha u-Elisha ayakuvela khona embulula ebiza,ekhalimela ekrazula (kunjalo!), enomqondiso kaThixoomngqinelayo, ebheka phambili. Akazi kubiza qela likhulu


ngoku. IBhayibhile ithe, “Musani ukoyika, mhlambi mncinane,kukuthanda kukaYihlo ukukunika uBukumkani.” ’Yabona?Injalo loo nto! Injalo ngokuchanekileyo.

224 Umelwe kukuba aliwe ngabo bonke ngaphandlekomhlambi omncinane, ngokuba ufana no-Eliya kunyenamakhulu asixhenxe kunye noYohane nomhlambi wakheomncinane. Ewe!

225 Uyabona ukuba simi phi na namhlanje? Simelwekukubuyela emva kwiPentekoste yasekuqalekeni. Simelwekukubuyela emva kwizinto zikaThixo. Simelwe kukubuyelaemva. Mzalwana, dade, ungakhe uqhathwe kumava akho.

226 Si_Silindele elo lixa. Ungakhe uthabathe njeu“Ndiyathemba ukuba kunjalo, ndiyakholwa; ngokholondiyawamnkela.” Ungakhe uyenze loo nto! Hlangana noThixoubuso ngobuso, uze uzaliswe ngoMoya, uze ukhangele keukuba kwenzeka ntoni na. Kwaye ukuba loo moyaungaphakathi kuwe uchasene neli Lizwi, ngoko wuyeke loomoya. Hamba uye kufumana^Thandaza ukuba uThixoakunike uMoya oyakuthi^

227 Xa lo Moya uyakuthi uvele ngemihla yokugqibela,uyakuba sisiyalo ngokuchasene nabo_nabo bangabobuxoki(’yabona?), ngokuba uYohane wathi, “Musani ukucinga nithingaphakathi kwenu thina si_thina sino-Abraham ubawowethu^Sine^SingabaÔobawo bethu yayingamaWisile,amaBhaptizi, amaRhabe, okanye abenkonzo kaMoya. Musaniukucinga ukuba nine_ningabantwana baka-Abraham, kubauThixo unako ukumvelisela abantwana kula matye u-Abraham.” Musani ukucinga ukuba ngokubaningabakwaMoya niyakuba ngabanokuxolelwa. Hayi konkekonke! UThixo unako ukumvelisela kula matye abantwana u-Abraham. Loo nto ichaneke kanye! Ewe, mhlekazi!

228 Thethani nje iLizwi likaThixo ngobunyaniso bomhlawokugqibela. Isiprofeto singuÛkuba u^

229 Mandibuyele nje emva apha okomzuzu, mandikuboniseindlela esinokufumanisa ngayo. Ndinazo_inqwaba yeZibhaloezibhalwe phantse apha, bendibhekiselela nje kuzo. Ndifunaukukufundela sibe sinye esiphuma^MasiÔkokuqala,masithathe_masithathe iDuteronomi isahluko se-18 sizesifumanise nje emzuzwini, nje ukuze_ukuze phambi kokubasivale apha, ukuze ndibe nokunifundela esi Sibhalo.KwiDuteronomi isahluko se-18 (kulungile), masibone kengoku, ivesi yama-20 isahluko se-18. IDuteronomi 20^

Kodwa umprofeti, yena othe wakhukhukhumalawathetha ilizwi egameni lam, endingamwiselangamthetho ukuba alithethe, nothe wathetha egamenilathixo bambi^(Isininzi)^loo mprofeti makafe.


(Injalo loo nto! Kuphelile ngaye kokomoya.“Umphefumlo owonayo, kuyakufa wona.” SinoThixoomnye, hayi oothixo.)

Xa ke uthe entliziyweni yakho, Sothini na ukulaziilizwi a_angalithethanga uYEHOVA? (“Siyakwazinjani? Bayakuba baninzi kakhulu, siyakwazi njani? Louthetha okuya omnye athethe oku, njengoÔmnyeuthetha oku, aze omnye athethe okuya, njalo-njalo.”Ngoku, khangela. Siyazi.)

Ilizwi athe walithetha umprofeti egamenilikaYEHOVA, alabakho, alehla, lelo lizwiangalithethanga uYEHOVA, uthethengokukhukhumala umprofeti lowo: uzeunganxunguphaliswa nguye.

230 Ukuba uThixo akayithethanga loo nto, ngoko musaniukoyikiswa yiyo; ku_kulungile; qhubani nje nilibale ngaloonto. ’Yabona?

231 Ngoku, khangela kwinto esiyivayo namhlanje. UMgaqowabapostile, umgaqo wamaWisile, umgaqo wabaBhaptizi,umgaqo wamaPentekoste, umgaqoÛmgaqo, umgaqo,yintoni umgaqo? Niwufumana phi? Ndimema nabani na ukubaandibonise uMgaqo wabaPostile eBhayibhileni.NdiyakholwaÂkukho nto injalo. Ukuba abapostile babenomgaqo abakhe babambelela kuwo, nguwo lo: “Guqukaninonke ngabanye nibhaptizwe eGameni likaYesu Kristu ukuzenixolelwe izono, naye niyakwamnkela isipho soMoyaoyiNgcwele; kuba idinga likuni.” Ungaphoswa kukubona aphosikhoyo, sihlobo? Sikwimeko embi kakhulu. Yintoni na leyo?Umqondiso Wenene Onganakwanga.

232 Ngoku, ningamadoda nabafazi, uninzi lwenu, kwayeningabantwana bakaThixo. Musani ukungawunaki.Khumbula, ukuba simelwe kukuba sibe nazo ezi zinto.Zimelwe kukuba zenzeke ngalo mhla, ngeli lixa siphila kulongoku. Lilo eli ilixa kanye nje phambi koKuza kukaMesiya.Kumelwe kukuba kubekho isibhengezo esivelayo siphumakuThixo. Mandinifundele loo nto. Masibuyele emva kuMalaki.Yeyokugqibela yeTestamente eNdala. Kwaye phulaphula kokoAkuthethayo kuMalaki i^Ngoko si^Phulaphula kokuokomzuzwana nje. Ngoku, ukuba uyaqaphela kuMalaki 3uthetha njengokuba uYesu wathethayo ngokuzakukaYohane^

Yabonani, Ndiyakuthuma umthunywa wam, ageceindlela phambi kwam: iyakuza ke, ngesiquphe iNkosi,leyo niyifunayo, etempileni yayo, kwa umthunywawomnqophiso enimlangazelelayo: yabona, uyeza, utshouYEHOVA wemikhosi.


233 YayinguYohane lowo evakalisa ukuza kukaYesu, kwayeWeza etempileni ngokuchanekileyo njengokuba Watshoyo,uMthunywa womnqophiso, iNgelosi eyayino_entlango ino_kunye nabafundi_okanye ikunye noSirayeli. Niyakholwaukuba WayenguMthunywa? Kuba, Wathi, “NdaphumakuThixo, Ndibuyela kwakuThixo.”234 Ngoku, kwakutheni ukuze uPawulos anikwe isifo ukubasimntlithe. Emva kokuba uYesu wayefile, wangcwatywa,wavuka kwakhona, emva kwexesha elide, uPawuloswahlangana naYe ubuso ngobuso kwindlela eya eDamasko.Wathi, “Ndaphuma kuThixo ndaze ndabuyela kuThixo.”UPawulos wakhangela phezulu; kwakukho ukuKhanyaokukhulu apho, kwalaa Ntsika yoMlilo inye. Uyazi ukubandithetha ntoni na? Kwalaa Ntsika yoMlilo^KwayeuPawulos wayethetha naYe, waze Waphendula kuPawulos.Abantu abazange baMve. Abazange bamve Yena, kodwauPawulos waMva.

Wathi, “Sawule, Sawule, uNditshutshiselani ni na?”Wathi, “Ungubani na, Nkosi?”

235 Wathi, “NdinguYesu. Ngoku vuka uhambe ngesitratoesibizwa ngokuba sesithe Tye; uyakuxelelwa apho ukubhekaphambili. Ndinomprofeti onyukayo apho ezakukuxelelaomawukwenze, uyabona, indlela o^”236 UPawulos^Wehla, wabhaptizwa, wathandaza eNkosini,wamnkela uMoya oyiNgcwele, waze uPawulos wathi, “Ndibenoviko enyameni endalunikwayo, umtyholi, isithunywasomtyholi esindintlithileyo.” Oko kufana nokubethwa emvakokubethwa. Wayesiba ngcono, ize loo nto imbethe kwakhona.Wathi, “Ndiye ndayithandaza iNkosi kathathu ukuba isisusekum, kodwa iNkosi yathi, ‘Pawulos, ubabalo lwaMlukwanele.’” Waze wathi, “Ukuze ndingaziphakamisingaphezu kwaloo mfumba yesityhilelo^” Wayenesityhileloesithe chatha kunesikaPetros, uYakobi, uYohane, okanyenabani na kubo. WaMbona emva kokuba Wayesele emnkileisithuba mhlawumbi seminyaka emibini okanye ngaphezulu,emi ekwiNtsika yoMlilo ethetha naYe. Kokungaphezulukangakanani namhlanje, kumawaka amabini eminyaka, kwayenangoku Usaphila. Amen!237 Wathi, “Ndanikwa, ukuze ndingabi nakuziphakamisangokungaphezulu, wathi ‘Ngoku, mzalwana, ndingaphezukwenu nonke. ’Yabona, ndi_ndiMbone emva kokubaWavuswayo kwabafileyo, ndaze ndathetha naYe; ndim^’Ukuze ke ndingabi nakuziphakamisa ngokungaphezulu apho,ndanikwa into ethile eyakundigcina ndithobekile.” Ewe!238 Yayinguye owabaxelela ukuba babhaptizwe kwakhonaeGameni likaYesu. Wathi, “Nokuba iNgelosi ivelaeZulwini^”


239 Wathi, “Andizange ndiye kwizikolo zabo naphi na aphobabekhona.” Wathi, “Andinyukanga ndiye eYerusalemkwangoko, kungekho kwisithuba seshumi elinesine leminyaka.”Wathi, “Ndehla ndaya eYiphutha, ndehla ndaya kungena e-Asiya ezantsi phaya.” Ndafuna ubuso beNkosi, ndilapho ezantsiisithuba esimalunga neminyaka emithathu ndifundaiTestamente eNdala, ndayibona ukuba ithelekiseka nantoni nayonke. Wathi ukubuya kwakhe emva kweshumi elinesineleminyaka, wahlangana noPetros kunye nabanye, babe benalooVangeli inye, bebhaptiza ngendlela enye, besenza kwa into enye.Amen! Wazi ukuba yayiyinyaniso. Ewe, mhlekazi!240 Phulaphula kuMalaki ngoku, ngapha kweli cala, kuMalaki3.

Kwathi, xeshikweni uYesu ebegqibile ukubamiselaabafundi baKhe abalishumi elinababini, wesuka aphowaya kufundisa nokushumayela emizini yabo.

Ke kaloku uYohaneêyive esentolongweniimisebenzi kaKristu, waye_esentolongweni imisebenzikaKristu, wesusa babini kubafundi bakhe,

Wathi kuye, Wena ungulowo uzayo na, silindewumbi kusini na? (Amehlo okhozi kaYohaneayefiphele apho ezantsi entolongweni. ’Yabona?)

Waphendula uYesu, wathi kubo, Hambani^niyekumbikela uYohane izinto eni_eni^zivayonenizibonayo: (UYohane wayengumprofeti, kwayeukuba_ukuba angayiva lento kuqhubeka yona,uyakuNdazi ukuba ndinguBani na. ’Yabona?Wathi^)

^bayemnka abo, waqala uYesu wathi kwizihlwelengaye uYohane, Naye niphuma nisiya kubona ntoni naentlango?^(Khangela lo mprofeti ngoku)^nayeniphuma nisiya kubona ntoni na entlango? Yabeiyingcongolo na izanyazanyiswa ngumoya?^(HayiuYohane. Owu, hayi! “Nzalandini yeenyoka engceni,”watsho kwiimvaba zamahlelo, “ngubani oniyalileyoukuba niyibaleke ingqumbo ezayo?

(Ngoku phulaphula, uphulaphulisise ngoku.)Yabonani, ndiyakuthumela kuni u-Eliya umprofeti,ingekafiki imini enkulu eyoyikekayo kaYEHOVA:

243 Ngoku, lowo yayingenakuba nguYohane. Yayingekhe,ngokuba ihlabathi ngelatshatyalaliswa ngoko. Kodwa aphaUthe kuMateyu 3, Uthumela umthunywa phambi kwaKhe.Kwaye uYesu wathi, “Lowo ngu-Eliya owayekuza kuzakulungisa indlela phambi kwaM. Kodwa phambi kokubaisiqhushumbisi se-atom sibethe, ndiyakuthumela kuni u-Eliyaumprofeti.”

Wobuyisela iintliziyo zooyise kubantwana,neentliziyo zabantwana kooyise, hleze ndizendilichithe ilizwe ngokuliphanzisa.


244 Kuprofetiwe ngaloo mhla^Ngoku, uthi, “Owu, laaÊliya, wayezakuba nguYohane.” UMthunywa womnqophisoyayinguYohane, ngenene; loo nto ichanekile kanye. UYesuwatsho waze wayingqina loo nto kanye apha. “Nguye lobendithetha ngaye.” Kodwa uyayibona eyokubawayengenakuba ngu-Eliya owayezakuza (’yabona?);yayingenakuba nguye. Ngokuba, uyabona, ukuba yayinguye,ngoko isiprofeto sasiphosakele; ihlabathi alizangelitshatyalaliswe kudala apho. ’Yabona? “Kodwa phambikwemini enkulu eyoyikekayo yeNkosi ukuba ifike,Ndiyakuthumela kuni u-Eliya.

Ngoko iprofetiwe. Sikwixesha lesiphelo,mzalwana wam, injalo loo nto.246 Njengamakhulu amane abaprofeti echasene noMikaya,bathi^Si_Sikumhla wokugqibela, siyayazi loo nto.Abaprofeti bobuxoki babonakalisa umqondiso wobuxoki,ukujoyina amahlelo eemvaba. Bathi, “Yizani nijoyine.Masihlangane. Yizani nijoyine ibandla lethu. Yizani nobulungubenu. Sivulile ngale ntsasa ukuze nibe nokuguqula ubulungubenu ukusuka kwelinye ibandla ukuza kweli.” Owu,yimfeketho! Bukunceda ngantoni ubulungu bakho? Ukubaawunalifa eZulwini; libala ngaloo nto.247 Abaprofeti bobuxoki baya kubonakalisa imiqondisoyobuxoki. Kodwa khangela, abaprofeti benene, bayakuhlalakunye neLizwi likaThixo. Imiqondiso yenene iyakuvelisaiLizwi leNyaniso likaThixo kwiBandla lenyaniso. KwayeiBandla lenyaniso liyakwamnkela iLizwi livuye ngaLo. Xaumhlambi omncinane uyakuthi ulinikwe ngemihlayokugqibela, oyakuba yintsalela yabeNtlangaeyakudluliselwa^248 Xa uYesu wezayo kwakungekho_kwakungekho ngaphezukwabambalwa apho abakholwayo. Iqela elincinane likaYohanelilo elakholwayo. UYesu wabathabatha ukusukela aphoukubheka phambili, wenza abafundi ngabo wabheka phambili.249 Ngethuba u-EliyaÊkufikeni kwentshabalalo^Ngethuba lokufika kwexesha likaNowa, nguyeowayengumqondiso; waze wangenisa abantu emkhombeni. Xawezayo u-Eliya, watsala abantu ebakhupha kwindidekoababekuyo. Ekuzeni kukaYohane^Bonke abaprofeti


babeyimiqondiso, imiqondiso, imiqondiso, imiqondiso. KwayeWasithembisa umqondiso ngomhla wokugqibela, ngemihlayokugqibela kuyakubakho umqondiso. Ngumqondisoongaqatshelwanga. Abantu abawuboni. Bahamba nje bedlulaphezu kwawo bawuyeke udlule. Mzalwana, dade, musaukujoyina inkonzo. Mandithethe lento ekuvaleni ngoku.250 Ukuba nje ukhe wanamava emihlali ethile, ukuvakalelwaokuthile, musa ukuxhomekeka kuloo nto! Musani ukuyenzaloo nto, bantu bathandekayo. Ni^Ndithetha nabantu^Ndiyabava bexhakaza oomatshini bokushicilela amazwi phayaemva kanye ngoko. Ndithetha ngoku kwibandla. ’Yabona?251 Phulaphula, ungakhe^(ndithetha ezininzi zezi zintongamanye amaxesha ukwenzela ukuba abantu abakumhlabaophaya ngaphesheya^) Hlala kunye noThixo, khangelaowakho umqondiso wenene. Uyakuwubona. Uyakubakufutshane kuwe. Kodwa izigidi ziyakuhamba kanye zidlulakuwo zingawuboni. Xa uYesu wezayo, babengaMazi. Abazangebamqaphele u-Eliya. Uyazi ukuba bathini ekunyukeni kuka-Eliya? Babengakholwa kuloo mfeketho. Bathi, “Yimfeketholeyo.” Abantwana benyuka apho kweso sixeko sabo kanyeapho wayehlala khona_apho wayehlala khona, eshumayelakhona, wenza imiqondiso nezimanga kanye apho kwelo lizwe,xa bathi_kwavela isilumkiso, “Asimfumani u-Eliya, iNkosiimnyuse ngesaqhwithe.” Bayihleka into enjalo.252 Naku kusiza u-Eliya_Elisha ekwanaloo miqondiso phezukwakhe, engumzekelo kaKristu kunye neBandla laKhe. Nakukunyuka u-Eliya, kwalooÊlisha, laa miqondiso minyeebenayo u-Eliya, isihla isiza kwenza kanye yona. Nkqunabantwana abancinane baphuma bamlandela, besithi, “Nkqayindini endala, kutheni unganyukanga njengo-Eliya nje?” ’Yabonaukuba kwenzeka ntoni kwabo bantwana bangenantlonipho?Namhlanje bayahleka bahlekise.

Uyakuyizalisa intliziyo yakhonomphefumlo wakho ngamandla, uthando, nokuvutha.255 Thixo, ndincede ukuba ndifumane indawo yam phayangaphesheya ndaweni ithile kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo,kwaye kusele nje ukuba ndibone ukuba ndingahambela phi nangokulandelayo.


256 Silinde ithuba elide kakhulu. Ndilinde ithuba elide.Ndikhumbula ndicheba ingca kwiyadi yam engasemva phaya.Xa ndandisakha le ndlu ilapha, iNkosi yandibiza. Inkosikaziyam yalila ngokuba yayingafuni ukushiya umama wayo. Yathi,“Mhlawumbi phaya_akukho mntu uyakumkhathalela.”Ndacinga, “Ndinomama owalupheleyo okwam.”257 Ndandihleli phaya ezantsi ngenye imini ndicheba ingca.Ndahlala phantsi; iZwi elicace kangako leza lathi, “Zahlule,ukuze Ndikusikelele”

Ndathi, “Nkosi Thixo, ndenze ndonwabe apha, Uyabonaukuba yintoni na endimelene nayo.”258 Zonke ezo zinto ziphelile ngoku. Umama uBroyusebuqaqawulini, umama uBranham ngokunjalo.

Thixo siphe!271 Akusekho nto iyenye ndinokuyenza. Ndiye ndakhwazangezwi lam unyaka nonyaka, Nkosi; kwaye ngaphandlekokuba Wena wenze ngoku, akukho nto ndinokuyenza.Ndiyathandaza ukuba_ukuba wenze ngokwaKho.

Bangathini ukuzangaphandle kokuba Ubenze bahlabeke, uMoya oyiNgcweleomkhulu.275 Kwaye ndiyaKuthandaza, Nkosi Thixo, ukuba ukubaindoda nokuba ngumfazi, inkwenkwe okanye intombazanaingaphakathi kwesi sakhiwo ngale ntsasa, ukuba uMoyaoyiNgcwele wanga ungeza nangako amandla okuchukumisangokokude iinyembezi zihle ngezidlele zabo zichaphazeleemphefumlweni wabo, Nkosi, ukuze ngokuvela ebunzulwinibentliziyo yabo babe nokukholwa bamnkele uKristu. Siphe oko,Nkosi! Abasayi kuswela siguqo. Umphefumlo wabo uyakubasisiguqo sabo. Siphe oko, Nkosi! Ukuze babuye ngentliziyoezeleyo beze kuWe, bathi, “Ngoku ndifuna ukubhaptizwaeGameni likaYesu Kristu ukuze ndixolelwe endiguquke kuzo.”Siphe oko, Nkosi. Bazalise ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.276 Siphe abavangeli ehlabathini namhlanje, ingengabo abobanyanzelayo, batsale, benze abantwana beemvana zobuhlelo.Thixo Zivelisele abantwana. Yiba nabantu, Nkosi, abayakuthandaza. Ndicinga ngendlu kaKorneli. Ayizange loo ntoyenzeke kwiNtlanga ngaphambili, kodwa babezila bethandaza.Yaze yathi laa ndoda yakwaThixo, laa mprofeti, emi apho,wathi esathetha la mazwi, uMoya oyiNgcwele wabawela abobabeliva iLizwi. Thixo siphe olo hlobo lwenkonzo.277 Wathi esawathetha la mazwi uPetrosÔwu Thixo,babesele belungile. Babezila; babelindile; babenyanisekile.Babengalindanga nje^Babelinde deÂbo bapostilebabelinde ade uThixo ehle phakathi kwabo, kwayebabenokuMbona bathethe naYe. Baphuma beneentliziyoezalitshisa ihlabathi la. Babenobuganga baze bema phakathikweendawo ezazinokuthetha ukunqunyulwa intloko yabokuzo. Bathi, “Ingaba kulungile ukuba siphulaphule nina,okanye imibutho yenu, okanye nina hlelo lemvaba yabantu,kungenjalo simamele uThixo? Ziboneleni.” Kwaze kwathikanye nje ukuba bayekwe bahambe, baphuma kanye njebashumayela iGama likaYesu Kristu kwakhona.278 Owu Thixo, siphe_siphe oko, Nkosi. Mvelise lowo Uthethangaye eZibhalweni kuthi. Mthambise, Nkosi. Ndiyambiza.Mthume, Nkosi! Owu Thixo, iintliziyo zethu ezilambileyoziyakhala. Mthumele, Nkosi, oyakubuyisela abantu kukhololoobawo kwakhona, uyakubasusa kwaba nodoli bobuhleloabangenise kumava wenene kaThixo njengokuba benzayongePentekoste, ibandla lenene kwakhona livutha, likwanalooMyalezo, ukholo olunye, imfundiso enye, iBhayibhile ekwanye,uThixo omnye okwanaloo miqondiso. Sivelisele umprofeti,Nkosi.279 Philisa abagulayo phakathi kwethu namhlanje, Nkosi.Kukho abo balapha basweleyo. Ndiyabathandazela, Bawo.


Kudala ndilindile ngale ntsasa, yaye kukho abo bahleliapha^Ngobunye ubusuku xa umpostile uPawuloswashumayela ubusuku bonke, umfana wawa kwelo gumbiwazingenisa ekufeni. Wayesindwe bubuthongo.Wayengazimisele kwenza njalo, kodwa we_wehliwabubuthongo. Waze wawa; babe ubomi bakhe buphelile; wazeumpostile wathandaza, ubomi babuyela ngaphakathi kuyekwakhona.280 Owu Nkosi Thixo, baninzi apha abathe behliwa kukugula,kwaye ngeli thuba silinde lade ledlula ixesha lokukhuphainkonzo. Baninzi abo bagulayo. Owu Thixo, makathi loomandla, laa_laa Moya uyiNgcwele uza buqu ekwiNtsikayoMilo, UZiqondakalisayo Azazise ukuba unguLowo Anguye_kwaye siyakholwa kuYe_makarhangqe wonke umntu olaphanamhlanje, aphilise abagulayo, azalise ngoMoya, apheintlangulo ngayo yonke indlela, Nkosi, esiswele yona. Zizalisekanye iintliziyo zethu ngokholo, Thixo, ngokholoolungacimiyo, ngokholo olungenzeleleliyo, ukuze sibe no-ITSHO INKOSI. Siphe oko, Nkosi!281 Ngabantu baKho, uMyalezo waKho, iLizwi laKho, izicakazaKho, kwaye umtyholi akanandawo yakubambelela kuthi.Akanako nokusitshabalalisa xa lo mnquba utshatyalaliswa;kuba ukuba lo mnquba wasemhlabeni uyatshabalala sinomnyeosele ukho ulindile. Akanakusenzakalisa, kuba yonke intoelutshaba lwethu ilutshaba lwaKho, kuba singabaKho.Sithengwe ngexabiso leGazi elinqabileyo likaYesu. Ngoko ke,nina zidemoni zithe zabopha aba bantu ngokugula,ndiyaniyalela eGameni likaYesu Kristu ukuba niphumekumntu wonke kubo. Njengesicaka sikaThixo, esibanga eliLizwi ukuba liyiNyaniso, bayekeni. Aninamagunya. Yonkeinto enaninebango kuyo yacinywa eKalvari, kwaye aninakubasaba bamba.282 Ngoku Thixo, yipha yonke indoda nomfazi, inkwenkweokanye intombazana elapha ukholo lokukholwa kuloo nto.ILizwi lithethiwe. “Ukuba nithe kule ntaba, ‘Funquleka’ningathandabuzi entliziyweni yenu (umthandazo wokholowomsindisa ogulayo), nikufumene enikucelayo.” Siyayazi loonto. Sinalo elo themba liqinisekileyo kuThixo. Ukubasinokholo ngokupheleleyo, ukuba uThixo uphila ngaphakathi,siyakholwa yiloo nto. Kwaye ndiyazi ukuba loo nto injalo,Nkosi. Ngoko siphe lona namhlanje, ngenxa yokugulanosindiso. Ngeli thuba bendimelwe kukuthi, bendimelwendithe usindiso kuqala ukuze kulandele ukugula. Siphe oko,Nkosi, kuba umphefumlo nguwona unexabiso kunomzimba.283 Kodwa abo bathi ngamanye amaxeshaÛmphefumlowabo usindisiwe, ukuze lo mzimba mdala ubeusengokaSathana, kwaye uyazi ukuba uyakuwuthabathaekupheleni kwexesha. Uyakuwucumza awubuyisele zide


izinambuzane ezincinane zomhlaba nezirhubuluzi zingenekuwo ziwudle uphele; kodwa akangekhe awuchukumise laamphefumlo; kuba ububutyebi obunqabileyo kuThixo. Kwayekobo bomi, njengobuphuma kwigqabi, bubuyela kuThixoOwanikisa ngabo, uyakuvela kwisigaba sexesha esilandelayobunomzimba omtsha angasayi kuze awuchukumise uSathana.Obungasokuze ubudala okanye nayo nantoni naiwuchukumise. Uyakuba ngumzimba wobuqaqawuli.Sikhangele kuloo nto, Nkosi. Sikelela abantu baKho.BangabaKho, ndaye ndibanikela ezandleni zaKho. Okundikucela eGameni likaYesu!

[Kukho iziprofeto ezikhutshwayo ngabazalwana_Mhl.]284 Asilolizwi lam elo; liLizwi laKhe. Owu, oko sikusweleyo,ngale yure, ngeli lixa siphila. Ingaba aniqondi, zihlobo, ukubauThixo akezi kwabakhulu abahloniphekileyo; Uhlala phakathikwabathobekileyo, kwizinto ezincinane ezithobekileyo.Aniboni, mhlawumbi, niqonde ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni khonangoku, yintoni ehamba-hamba phakathi kwesi sakhiwo,yintoni ehamba-hamba phakathi kwaba bantu kanye ngoku.285 Kwakutheni ukuze uMoya athi kwangoko phambi kokubandenze nantoni na, ngoMzalwana Higginbotham,“Wukhangeleni loo myalezo, kuba ndiwuzisile (yinto ethileokanye enye elolo hlobo) ukuza kuniyala ngale nto izayo!”?Khangelani ukuba yintoni na eyenzekayo.286 Ezinye izinto, iZibhalo endizibhale apha phantsi,andikhange ndizichathe kwa ukuzichatha; ndisuke ndedlulangaphaya kwazo kanye. Bendikhokelelwa apho nguMoyaoyiNgcwele. ’Yabona? Ezinye zezi Zibhalo, andikhangendizichathe konke; ndisuke nje ndedlulela ngaphaya kwenyeinto ngokupheleleyo, kwathi kwakanye ethubeni ndeva intoefikayo, ndaze ndajikela ngaphaya ndayifumana ukuba iphi na.287 UMoya uthetha macala onke ngoku. Owu bantu,thembekani, nyanisekani! Musani ukuzama ukuphumlaphezu^’yabona, ni_nikhangela into ethile enkuluebengezelayo, ngeli thuba bonke abaprofeti_nkqu uDavidewatsho ukuthi ekuzeni kweNkosi yonke intaba iyakuthotywaii_iindawo eziyimifula ziyakunyuswa. Wathi iintabaziyakudloba ngokwamaxhama athi amagqabi aqhwabe izandlazawo. Kuba, babecinga ukuba iyakuba yintoni loo nto abantuxa i_uYesu wafikayo? Yajika yayintoni? Umshumayeliwakudala othobekileyo, owayengenamfundo, kwiminyakaelithoba kudala waya kungena entlango, hayi ukuyakuqeqeshwa ngumntu, koko ukuya kuqeqeshwa nguThixo.Waphuma wema enesiqwenga sengubo yegusha azijijele ngasoenoboya wonke ebusweni, exhonti wonke, iinwele zijingazibetha entanyeni, iphila apho eentlango ngeenkumbi(ziintetheezo), iinkumbi zasendle nobusi ngethuba wayehlala


entlango^Weza wema eludakeni elunxwemeni wavakalisaukuza kukaMesiya. Kwaye uMesiya wehla kanye, iNdodaeqhelekileyo phakathi kwabantu, waze wabhaptizwa.288 Yaye bonke abaprofeti bavakalisa ukuba yenye yezonazinto zinkulu zake zenzeka; kwaye yayiyiyo. ’Yabona?Bakhangela into ethile enkulu, ebengezelayo, into eyayizakwenzeka. ’Yabona? UMoya oyiNgcwele awukhazimli;Uqaqambile. Ukukhazimla kokwehlabathi. UkukuqaqambakokukaThixo.

Qaqamba phezu kwam, Nkosi, ngumthandazo wam lowo.Ndithobe ndihle. Ndithabathe; undibumbe, undenze. MoyakaThixo ophilileyo, hamba ngokutsha phezu kwam. Ndibumbe,ndenze, undenze ndibe ngowaKho, Nkosi. Ndithabathe nje.289 Ndiwuqaphela nje ukuba laa Moya kaKristu uhamba-hamba kuso sonke esi sakhiwo ngale ntsasa. UThixo oyakugweba ihlabathi ulapha khona ngoku, ndiqinisekenjengokuba ndimi kule pulpiti. Kubekho ukungqinelwa kanye,kabini, kathathu kwaloo nto, ngeLizwi, ngokuchanekileyonjengoko yatshoyo iBhayibhile. Wawuva uthula ngelo xeshaemva kwaloo nto? Kubekanye, kabini, kathathu, yonke intoikulungelelwano lokomoya, yonke into ikulungelelwanolweSibhalo. Owu, vulani iintliziyo zenu niqonde. Owu, elinjelona ixesha. Yintoni enokwenzeka ngeli xesha?290 Babekwigumbi eliphezulu, bonke belinde ngamxhelo mnye.

Kuba abo balindela eNkosini,Bayakuhlaziyeka emandleni.Bayakunyuka ngamaphiko ngokokhozi.

291 Ungenyuki nje uye phaya uthi, “Nkosi, ndicela uxolongezono zam. Ngoku, ndamnkela ngokholo ukuba ndinawouMoya oyiNgcwele uhambe umnke.” Abo balindela eNkosini,iiveki, iintsuku, nokuba yintoni na, bayakuhlaziyekaemandleni. Bayakunyuka ngempiko ngokokhozi.Bayakubaleka bangadinwa; xa behamba, abayi kudinwa.Ndifundise, Nkosi, ukulinda. Lindela eNkosini.292 Imini nobusuku, ngokuthe rhoqo u-Anna wayesetempileninjalo ethandaza emini, ebusuku. Ekungeniseni uYesu.Wayengene eyimfama ehamba kweso sakhiwo, wajikeleza_umfazi oyimfama_wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwaKhe,wadumisa uThixo; ngokuba kubumfama bakhe benyama,emoyeni wakhe, wachukunyiswa nguMoya ukuya kutsho kuloondawo Wayemi kuyo.293 Apho uSimyon, Wayemlindele ngaphakathi kwigumbilokuthandazela, phaya ngasemva, wayesazi ukubawayethenjiswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba akasayi kufa,ixhego elidala, elinamashumi asibhozo, selisondele kumashumialithoba eminyaka ubudala^Kwaye waye_xelele abantu


ngokuphandle, “Andisayi kufa ndide ndimbone uMesiya!”Kwathi kanye kwangaloo mzuzu, usana oluncinaneoluyinkwenkwe^Wayeyintoni Yena? Wayengengomntuudumileyo, bathi bonke abalindi beme benika imbeko xakwakungeniswa uMesiya, esongelwe kakuhlenangokubekekileyo, emhle eqholiwe, wafakwa amavumbaamnandi njengeentsana ezazisiza kusikelelwa. Kodwa umamaomncinane ekwakuthethwe okubi ngaye^Kwathiwa ubenosana ngaphandle kweqhina elingcwele lomtshato, esongelwengamaniki-niki wamalaphu, idyokhwe_izinto zedyokhwe zizoawaYesongelwe ngazo, bahamba benyuka isakhiwo wabewonke umntu emele mgama kuYe. Kodwa nalo elo gqubalincinane, elo qela lincinane, u-Anna ingomnye, omnyeinguSimyon, esihla ngomgca, engazi ukuba wayesiyaphi na,waphosa amehlo akhe kuLo, waze waphakamisa izandlazakhe, wathi, “Nkosi, sindulule isicaka saKho sinoxolo ngoku,ngokweLizwi laKho, kuba amehlo am alubonile uSindisolwaKho.” ’Yabona, ’yabona?294 Kwakungekho nto ikhazimlayo, yayikukuqaqamba! Kwayenakubeni kwakuthethwa okubi ngaloo nto, yayingumqondiso.Yaye namhlanje, umqondiso kuthethwa kakubi ngawo.Awunamntu usebenzisana nawo. Ku_Ku_Kuthethwa kakubingawo ubizwe ngayo yonke into, kodwa ungumqondisoongaqatshelwanga, umqondiso ekuthethwa kakubi ngawo.IBhayibhile yathetha ngaloo nto, umqondiso ekuthethwakakubi ngawo.295 Masikhumbule oku njengokuba siseluhambeni lokugoduka.Ningaze niwuvumele ukuba loo Myalezo ufe ezintliziywenizenu. Nokuba nenza ntoni na, ningaze niyenze leyo into.Cingani ngawo lo imini nobusuku. Nize nithandaze imininobusuku ukuba uThixo avelise ingqina laKhe ngoku.Sesililungele, kuba ndiyakholwa ukuba kwakamsinya ixeshaalisayi kubakho. Siyeza^Njani?296 “Kuyakuba nini, Mzalwana Branham?” Andazi.Mhlawumbi namhlanje; kusenokuba ngomso. Ukuba akukhonamhlanje, ndiyakube ndikukhangela ngomso. Kwayekusenokuba kulo nyaka, kunyaka ozayo, kwiminyaka elishumi.Mhlawumbi kumashumi amathathu eminyaka, andazi ukubakuyakuba nini na ngoko, kodwa ndithetha ukusukela ngokuukuya phambili, hlalani nilungele wonke umzuzu.297 Yaye ungathathi nje into ethile eqhelekileyo. Ungakheuyenze loo nto. Ungakhe uphumle imini nobusuku ude ubeuthethe noThixo. Zigcine ekubeni ngoyibaxayo. Musaukuphatshuzeliswa yimihlali. Ungayenzi loo nto. Yiloo ntoengenisa obungaka ubundlavini bento yenze abantu bawoyike(’yabona?), kungenxa yobundlavini bokuyibaxa. Ungakheuyamnkele loo nto; konke konke. Hlala apho ude uthethenoThixo. Ngaphaya koko umphefumlo wakho, yaye nguwe


oyakuchithela ingaphakathi lakho ngaphaya. Funeka keuqiniseke ukuba awubambi nje izandla ucengceleze umgaqookanye wamnkele into ethile ngokholo nje. Musa ukwenza loonto! Thetha noThixo; uThixo makathethe nawe; ukhangeleukuba kuyakwenzeka ntoni na kuwe. Yijonge iminqwenoyakho noko kuyakwenzeka; ngoko uyakwazi ukuba uthethenoThixo na okanye hayi.298 Kuni nina bakholiweyo kuYe ngale ntsasa. Kuwe wena^Ndi_Ndithethe malunga neziguqo. Uyayazi indlela ababeyenzangayo loo ndlela eBhayibhileni? Bonke abakholwayo eNkosini_bonke abakholwayo eNkosini babhaptizelwa eGameni likaYesuKristu ukuze baxolelwe izono zabo. Ukuba awukaÂsikazesibe nokubizela ngaphambili esiguqweni. Abazange benzeabantu benyuke. Xa usenza loo nto ufumana yonke into le.Nanko umfo enyuka esiza esibingelelweni ekhangelekaenenkani aguqe ngenxa yokuba umntu othile uzameukumfumana. U_U_Uba nobunzima obuphindwe kabinibokuba ungaphinda umfumane kwakhona. ’Yabona? Wenzanike ngoko? Ufumana yonke into ingene apho. Kwaye uYesu uthe,“Bonke aNdinike bona uBawo bayakuza kuM.” Hlala neloLizwi! UThixo nguye oyakwenza okuseleyo kuloo nto. Injalo loonto! NguThixo oyakwenza okuseleyo kuyo.299 UThixo anisikelele! Ndiyathemba ndiyakunibonakwakhona ngokuhlwa. Ndiyathemba ukuba mntu ngamnyekuni onako^Ndiyazi ukuba abaninzi benu baye bahlalaapha_bekude. Ndizakuhla ngokuhlwanje ukuya kuphulaphulaumzalwana wam. Ukuba kube yintando kaThixo. Andifunikuyithabatha yomibini imiyalezo yakhe.300 UMzalwana uNeville uyindoda elungileyo yakwaThixo,kwaye ndiyazi_ndiyazi^Xa ndimva eshumayela, ndiyaziukuba oko kuvela phi na_kuvela ngqo entliziyweni yakhe.Ndiyayazi loo nto. Kwaye uMzalwana uNeville, njengokubawayetshilo ngobunye ubusuku ngethuba lalaa ntetho, esithi,“Ndakhe ndaphumla ndisithi, ‘Ngenye ndiyakumbhaptizaeGameni likaYesu.’” Ndanditshilo. Kuba? Ndabonaukunyaniseka nokuthembeka okukuye. Ndazi ukuba ukuba a_angaze ayinikwe sibone ukuba a_angayibona ngenene, amehloakhe angavuleka, angayamnkela. Ndalinda ndaxelela ibandla,“Ningakhathazeki, laa mshumayeli womWisile uzakulunga.”Nanku ke namhlanje, ungumlungiseleli walo mnquba, ezinzekangako emsebenzini ngangoko anokuba nako, ekuMyalezo.Uyakholwa kuThixo. Yaye ndiyazi ukuba xa ndiva into ethileevela kuMzalwana uNeville, ndiyazi ukuba iyeyinene, ivelakuThixo, kuba ulolo hlobo lwendoda.301 Ndizibekile izandla zamÊzi tshefu zenu zilaphasezithandazelwe. Ndithemba ngamnye kuni uyakwamnkelaintsikelelo evela kuThixo, ndithemba ukuba uThixousentliziyweni yenu.


302 Asi_Asizi apha uku_ukuza kufumana intsikelelo evelakuThixo kangangokuba sisiza apha^Yonke imihlasiphefumla sifumana intsikelelo ephuma kuThixo. Into esizelaukuyenza apha, kukuza kulungiswa, sixotyulwe, ukuzakwalusa iintliziyo zethu, nokuza kuba phambi koThixo,nokuza kukholwa kuThixo ngeentliziyo zethu zonke.303 Nilikhumbule iLizwi leNkosi, ningalibali, ningasileliukukhangela ngaphaya kumqondiso wenene othunyelwe uvelakuThixo. Ngoko ke ndizakubuyisela inkonzo kuMzalwanauNeville, athethe nokuba yintoni na anqwenela ukuyithetha.

[UMzalwana uNeville uthetha nabantu_Mhl.]304 Akukho nto imnandi ngaphezu koko, ebendinokuyicela,ngumzalwana wenene. Isizathu sokuba ndibe ndi^’Yabonazihlobo, ndi_ndiyazi ukuba niyandithanda; niyamthandauMzalwana Neville; nibathanda bonke abantu bakaThixo.Sinothando omnye komnye. Ukuba kwakukhe kwakho ixeshaebesimelwe kukuba nento engaphezu kothando omnye komnyekunamhlanje. Simelwe kukusondelelana, mzalwana, ukuzesithi nje_sibe ngabazalwana noodade begazi ngokuthe chatha.Nalo uthando olumelwe kukuba sezintliziyweni zethu omnyekomnye, yintobeko nentlonipho, ibe yeyona iphezulu. Kwayendiyayithanda loo nto. Ndiyayithanda loo nto yenene.305 Yaye apha uMzalwana Neville, noMzalwanaHigginbotham, uMzalwana^Ndiyakholwa ukubaibinguMzalwana Funk (bekungavakali nokuba nguye) othewakhupha umyalezo phaya emva. Obuvela_obuvela kuThixo,loo myalezo, zihlobo, ngenene ibivela kuye. Nabani na onakoukucalula koomoya uyayazi loo nto.306 Kodwa nantsi into ekuyiyo. Iyeza, ndi_ndimthandakakhulu uMzalwana uNeville kangangokuba ndide ndicingeoku: a_andithandi ukuthetha nto ngaphandle kokuba ngenenendibe ndinento evela kuThixo endinokunixelela yona.’Yabona? Kwaye ndineÔku_Oku kwaba sentliziyweni yammalunga neentsuku ezimbini okanye ezintathu ezidlulileyo,ndaze andabi nako ukukhangela kakhulu kwade kwaphezolondathabatha iZibhalo ezimbalwa ndazijonga. Naso isizathusokuba ndibe ndize kuphaka. Usukile ezandleni zam ngoku.’Yabona? Nokuba nenze ntoni na ngawo, oko kuxhomekekile_iyakuba nini. Niyabona? Kodwa usukile kwezam izandla.307 Ke uMzalwana Neville kunye nam, silolo hlobo nje. Ukubandihlile ndeza apha nje_nje ukuza kuthetha ngelinye ixeshakubekho into ethile enjalo, uMzalwana Neville enomyalezoovela kuThixo, ndingahlala nje phantsi. Ewe, ngenene!Ndinganika indawo uMyalezo kaThixo rhoqo. ’Yabona? Yayeyiloo ndlela esenza ngayo omnye komnye. Naso ke isizathusokuba ndithi, “Ndi^” Ukuba_Ukuba uThixoakandinikanga nto, ke ngoko, mhlawumbi, uthetha nje^Yaye


ukuba uThixo unike uMzalwana Neville into, ndilaphaepulpitini kusasa ngeCawe, ngokuhlwa ngeCawe, nokubakunini na, uMzalwana angathi nje_angangumzalwanakangako; angeza kum, athi, “Mzalwana Branham,ndiyakholwa kuwe ukuba usisicaka sikaThixo, kodwa iNkosiisandula kundinika umyalezo.” Ungayenza loo nto,awungekhe? Ewe! Ndenza loo nto nam kuye.308 Ukuba ebezakuthetha, ndize ndithi, “Mzalwana Neville,ungakhe undixolele? UThixo undinike umyalezo. Ndimelwekukuwuxelela abantu khona ngoku.” Kwayeanga_uMzalwana Neville angesuka ngoko endleleni, nawuphina kuthi angenza njalo komnye. ’Yabona, nantsi indlela esenzangayo. Ke ngoko, ukuba thina_andinanto iyethile, ngoko^309 Ndi_Ndiyakuthanda nje ukumva eshumayela.Ndive^Bangaphi abebemvile ngokuhlwa kweCaweephelileyo? Onjani ukumangalisa umyalezo. Ndiyakuxelela,ungqinelene kanye noko bekuthethwa ngentsasa. Yaye bantu,ndiyanixelela, nineLizwi elaneleyo likaThixo kangangokubangokuqinisekileyo nimelwe kukuphila kakuhle nilunge.UThixo anisikelele ngoku, Mzalwana Neville! `
