　　(1) Ukubaluleka kokuba uNkulunkulu ethatha igama likaJehova Ngenkathi Yomthetho

　　Izikhombo Zamavesi EBhayibheli:

“UNkulunkulu wathi futhi kuMose, Uzakusho njalo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli uthi, iNKOSI, uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe, ungithumile kini: yileli igama lami kuze kube phakade, futhi lesi yisikhumbuzo sami ezizukulwaneni zonke” (Eksodusi 3:15).

　　Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

　　“UJehova” yigama engalisebenzisa ngenkathi ngisebenza kwa-Israyeli, futhi lisho uNkulunkulu wama-Israyeli (Abantu abakhethiwe bakaNkulunkulu) ongazwela umuntu, amqalekise umuntu futhi aqondise ukuphila komuntu. Lisho uNkulunkulu onamandla amakhulu futhi ogcwele ukuhlakanipha. … Okusho ukuthi, uJehova kuphela onguNkulunkulu wabantu baka-Israyeli abakhethiweyo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe, uNkulunkulu kaMose noNkulunkulu wabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli. Ngakho nakule nkathi, bonke abakwa-Israyeli ngaphandle kwesizwe samaJuda bakhonza uJehova. Bamenzela iminikelo e-altare futhi bamkhonze begqoke izingubo zabapristi ethempelini. Abanethemba lakho ukubonakala kukaJehova futhi. … Igama elithi Jehova, liyigama elithile labantu bakwa-Israyeli ababephila ngaphansi komthetho. ENkathini ngayinye nesigaba ngasinye somsebenzi, igama lami linesisekelo kodwa futhi limelela okuthile okubalulekile: Igama ngalinye limele inkathi eyodwa. “UJehova” umele iNkathi Yomthetho futhi liyisihloniphiso sikaNkulunkulu owayekhonzwa ngabantu bakwa-Israyeli.

　　NgeNkathi yoMthetho, uJehova wabeka imiyalelo eminingi uMose okwakufanele ayidlulisele kwabaka-Israyeli, abamlandela ukuphuma eGibhithe. UJehova wayinika lemiyalelo abakwa-Israyeli, ababengahlobene nabaseGibhithe, kanti yayenzelwe ukungqanda abakwa-Israyeli, futhi iyizimiso Zakhe kubo. Noma umuntu wayegcina iSabatha, noma ehlonipha abazali bakhe, noma ekhonza izithixo, nokunye nokunye, lezi izimiso umuntu ayehlulelwa ngazo ukuthi unesono noma ulungile. Noma umuntu wayeshaywa ngumlilo kaJehova, noma akhandwe ngamatshe, noma athole isibusio kuJehova, kwakuncike ekutheni umuntu uyayilalela yini imiyalelo. Labo ababengaligcini iSabatha babekhandwa ngamatshe. Labo bapristi ababengaligcini iSabatha babeshaywa umlilo kaJehova. Labo ababengabalaleli abazali babo nabo babekhandwa ngamatshe. Konke lokhu kwakuvunywe nguJehova. UJehova wamisa imiyalelo Yakhe kanye nemithetho Yakhe ukuze kuthi lapho ehola izimpilo zabo, abantu balizwe futhi balilalele izwi Lakhe futhi bangahlubuki. Wasebenzisa lemithetho ukulawula uhlanga lwesintu olwalusanda kuzalwa, ukwakha isisekelo somsebenzi Wakhe owawuseza. Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yomsebenzi owenziwa uJehova, inkathi yokuqala yabizwa ngokuthi iNkathi yoMthetho.

Wabakhombisa ukuthi uJehova akakwazi nje kuphela ukuphefumulela umphefumulo kumuntu, ukuze abenempilo Yakhe, futhi wamvusa othulini wamenza isidalwa sikaNkulunkulu, kodwa nanokuthi wayengangqongqisa isintu ngamalangabi, asiqalekise isintu, esebenzisa uswazi Lwakhe ukuphatha isintu. Nabo-ke, babona ukuthi uJehova angayihola impilo yomuntu emhlabeni, futhi akhulume futhi esebenza phakathi kwabo imini nobusuku. Wawenza umsebenzi ukuze izidalwa Zakhe zazi ukuthi umuntu wavela othulini olwalucoshwe Nguye, ukuthi umuntu wenziwa Nguye. Ngaphezulu kwalokho, umsebenzi awuqala ku-Israyeli wenziwa ukuze abanye abantu nezizwe (ababengahlukene empeleni no-Israyeli, kodwa babexhantile basuka kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, kodwa beselokhu beyinzalo ka-Adamu no-Eva) bathole ivangeli likaJehova ku-Israyeli, ukuze zonke izidalwa ezweni lonkana zimdumise futhi zimphakamise Yena ngoba emkhulu.

　　Izikhombo Zamavesi EBhayibheli:

　　“Ingelosi yeNKOSI yabonakala kuye ngephupho, ithi, Josefa, ndodana kaDavide, ungesabi ukumthatha uMariya umkakho: ngokuba akukhulelweyo kungoMoya oNgcwele. Futhi uzakuzala indodana, bese uyiqamba igama lokuthi uJESU: ngokuba nguye oyakusindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo” (Mathewu 1:20-21).

　　“Futhi ingelosi yathi kuye, Ungesabi, Mariya: ngokuba ufumene umusa kuNkulunkulu. Futhi, bheka, uzakukhulelwa, bese uzala indodana, uyiqambe igama lokuthi uJESU. Yena uyakuba mkhulu, athiwe iNdodana yoPhezukonke: futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu iyakumnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavide: Futhi uyakuba yinkosi yendlu kaJakobe kuze kube phakade, nombuso wakhe awuyikuba nakuphela” (Luka 1:30-33).

Waba umfanekiso wenyama enesono ukuze aqedele umsebenzi wokubethelwa ahlenge bonke abantu, futhi kwakungenxa yezono zaso sonke isintu ukuba abe ngumhlatshelo wesono. Lona yiwo umsebenzi omkhulu awufeza. Ekugcineni, wahlinzeka indlela yesiphambano ukuqondisa labo abalandela. Ngesikhathi uJesu efika, ikakhulu kwakuwukuqeda umsebenzi wokuhlenga. Wahlenga bonke abantu, waletha nevangeli lombuso wezulu kubantu, futhi, phezu kwalokho, waletha umbuso wezulu. Ngenxa yalokho, labo abafika ngemva kwakho konke bathi, “Kumele sihambe indlela yesiphambano, sizidele ngenxa yesiphambano.” Yebo, ekuqaleni uJesu wenza omunye umsebenzi wakhuluma namanye amazwi ukuze abantu baphenduke bavume izono zabo. Kodwa inkonzo Yakhe kwakungukubethelwa, kanti le minyaka emithathu nesigamu ayichitha eshumayela indlela kwakuwukucwengelela ukubethelwa okwenzeka muva. Izikhathi eziningi uJesu athandaza ngazo nazo kwakungenxa yokubethelwa. Impilo yomuntu ojwayelekile ayeyiphila neminyaka engamashumi amathathu nantathu nesigamu ayiphila emhlabeni kakhulu kwakungenxa yokuqedela umsebenzi wokubethelwa, kwakungokokumnika amandla, kumenze akwazi ukwenza umsebenzi Wakhe, ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu wamethemba ngomsebenzi wokubethelwa.

　　ENkathini yoMusa, uJesu weza ukuzohlenga sonke isintu esiwile (hhayi ama-Israyeli kuphela). Ukhombise umusa nesisa kubantu. UJesu owabonwa abantu eNkathini yoMusa ubegcwele isisa futhi wayehlala enothando ngoba wayeze ukuzosindisa abantu ezonweni. Wayekwazi ukuxolela abantu izono zabo kwaze kwaba sekubethelweni Kwakhe okwasindisa abantu ngempela ezonweni. Ngaleso sikhathi, uNkulunkulu wavela kubantu ngomusa nangesisa; okusho ukuthi ube ngumhlatshelo wabantu wabethelwa ngenxa yezono zabantu ukuze baxolelwe ungunaphakade. Ubenomusa, uzwelo, ukubekezela nothando. Futhi bonke labo ababelandela uJesu ngeNkathi yoMusa babefuna ukuba nokubekezela nothando kuzo zonke izinto. Babekezelela konke ukuhlupheka, futhi abazange baziphindiselele ngisho sebeshaywa, beqalekiswawa, noma bekhandwa ngamatshe.

Abantu abakaze baxhumane Nami futhi abakaze bangazi, bebelokhu bengasinakile isimo Sami semvelo. Kusukela ekudalweni komhlaba kuze kube namhlanje, akekho owake wangibona. Lona nguNkulunkulu obonakala kubantu phakathi nezinsuku zokugcina kodwa ofihlekile ebantwini. Uhlala ebantwini, uyiqiniso futhi ungokoqobo njengelanga elishisayo nomlilo ovutha amalangabi, onamandla nogcwaliswe ngegunya. Akekho noyedwa umuntu noma into engeke yahlulelwa ngamazwi Ami, futhi akekho noyedwa ongeke angacwengwa ngomlilo ovuthayo. Ekugcineni, zonke izizwe ziyobusiswa ngenxa yamazwi Ami, futhi ziyophihlizwa zibe yizicucu ngenxa yamazwi Ami. Ngaleyo ndlela, bonke abantu ngezinsuku zokugcina bayobona ukuthi nginguMsindisi obuyile, nginguNkulunkulu uMninimandla Onke onqobe sonke isintu, owake waba ngumnikelo wesono kubantu, kodwa ezinsukwini zokugcina ngiba nayimisebe yelanga eshisa zonke izinto, kanye nelanga lokulunga elambula izinto zonke. Lowo umsebenzi Wami wezinsuku zokugcina. Ngithathe leli gama futhi nginalesi simo semvelo ukuze bonke abantu babone ukuthi nginguNkulunkulu olungile, futhi ngiyilanga elishisayo, nomlilo onamalangabi.
