WAZA UYESU WAFIKAWABIZA

…kholwa.Masiphakameni okwethutyana ngoku njengoko sifunda

iLizwi leNkosi. KuYohane oNgcwele, isahluko se-11, sizesiqalise ngomqolo we-18.

Ke kaloku iBhetani ibikufuphi neYerusalem, umgamawayo uzitadiya ezingathi zilishumi elinazihlanu:Kwakufike abaninzi bakumaYuda kwabo

babenoMarta noMariya, ukuze babathuthuzele ngayeumnakwabo.Kwaye uMariya, kwamsinya…okanye, uMarta,

kwamsinya akuva…uYesu wayesiza, wamhlangabeza:ke yena uMariya wahlala endlwini.Wathi ngoko uMarta kuYesu, Nkosi, ukuba ubulapha,

umnakwethu…ange engafanga.Kodwa ndiyazi, ukuba nangoku, nantoni ongathi

ukucele kuThixo, oko wokunika uThixo.Athi kuye uYesu, Umnakwenu uya kubuya avuke.Athi uMarta kuye, ndiyazi ukuba uya kubuya avuke

eluvukweni ngomhla wokugqibela.Wathi uYesu kuye, Ndim uvuko, no…bomi: lowo

ukholwayo kum, nokuba ubethe wafa, wodla ubomi:…bonke abadla ubomi bekholwa kum abasayi kufa

naphakade. Uyakholwa na koko?Athi kuye, Ewe, Nkosi: mna ndiyakholwa ukuba

wena unguye uKristu, uNyana kaThixo, lowo uzayoehlabathini.Waza etshilo njalo, wemka, waya wabiza uMariya

umsakwabo ngasese, wathi, UMfundisi ukho,uyakubiza.

2 Masithobiseni iintloko zethu ngoku ukwenzela umthandazo.3 Bawo wethu waseZulwini, njengoko sihlanganisene aphakwakhona ngokuhlwa ngesizathu sokukhonza Wena, sifundaiLizwi Lakho, sithabatha isiqendwana, kwaye sikholwa ukubaUyakuzisa kuthi kwaye utyhile umxholo wesiqendwana.Siyathandaza, Nkosi, ngaso ngasinye isidingo esinaso aphangobubusuku.4 Kungakhona abathile abangakwaziyo Wena. Bangabangakufumana Wena, ngobubusuku, njengoMsindisi wabobaze bamkele ngokunjalo. Banga banganakho, ngobubusuku,ngento ethile eyenziweyo, okanye ethethiweyo, eyakuzisa

2 ILIZWI ELITHETHIWEYO

uKristu inene yenene kubo. Kangangokuba, okokuba ubomibabo bonke buyakunikezelwa kuYe nasekukhonzeni Yena.SiyaKubulela ngezinto esimbonileyo ezenza Yena kunyenethemba esinalo lobomi ngaphaya kwesi sithunzi esiphila kusongoku. Sisazi oku, okokuba xa Esiza siyakuxwilelwa phezuluukuya kumhlangabeza Yena esibhakabhakeni. Kwaye ngoku,Nkosi, siyathandaza ukuba Uyakulifaka elithemba, elithembalisikelelweyo, kuyo yonke intliziyo yomntu, ngobubusuku. Abobebesendleleni kwixesha elide baza bamelana nezinto ezinzima,banga, ngobubusuku, ukholo lwabo luphakanyiselwe phezulu.Siphe oko, Nkosi, okokuba bayakuthatha imbono entsha,ngobubusuku, baze bavuselele izibhambathiso zabo kwayebaqalele ngokutsha kwakhona.

5 Bawo, sithandazela abo bagulayo nabaxhwalekileyo.Bunga obu ingaba bubusuku bokukhululwa kwabo. Ezininzi,Nkosi, ezibekiweyo iitshefu phezulu apha eqongeni. Kwayesiyathandaza, Bawo waseZulwini, njengoko ndibeka izandlaphezu kwezi zisezibhokisini. Ngoku, sifundisiwe, eBhayibhileni,okokuba, “Bathabatha okusuka emzimbeni kaPawulosoNgcwele iitshefu nemibhinqo, yaza imimoya engcolileyo yemkaebantwini, nezigulo zaphiliswa.” Ngoku siyaqonda ukubaasingoPawulos oNgcwele, kodwa Úsahleli unguYesu. Kwayesiyathandaza, Nkosi, okokuba Úyakuphilisa wonke ubani ezitheezitshefu zammela. Banga ngabanye baphiliswe ukwenzelauZuko Lwakho.

Qhekeza kuthi ngoku iSonka soBomi, ukusuka eLizwini,njengoko silindile, eGameni likaYesuKristu. Amen.

Ningahlala.

6 Kuhle ukubuyela apha kwakhona ngobubusuku,nokukhonza iNkosi. Kumnandi ukubona lomgangathoungezantsi umalunga nokugcwala, ngobubusuku, kesinombulelo kakhulu ngokuza kwenu. Nokuba ibe lityelilokuqala abakhe balapha, ndicinga ukuba oko kuyinenekakhulu.

7 Ngoku, akukhathaliseki sithetha kangakanani kubani,sithetha into enye. Ndithethe kwintlangano zabathathu njeokanye abane, emva koko ndithethe amakhulu amahlanuamawaka ngaxeshanye. Amakhulu amabini namawakaamahlanu, ngelinye ixesha. Kwaye akukhathaliseki nokubayintoni, into uKristu ayithumela kum, ukuphulaphula.Ndithetha i…Andisayi kuwuguqula umxholo wam nakanye,ukuba esi ibisisigidi sabantu sihleli apha, ngobubusuku, nje intoekwanye. Kuba, ndihlwayela nje imbewu, kwaye Ifanele iweleemhlabeni ndaweni ithile. Kwaye xa leya yokugqibela imbewuingenisiwe, akusayi kuba sabakho yimbi. Siyazi kusenokubayi…

WAZA UYESU WAFIKA WABIZA 3

8 Siyamangala kutheni imvuselelo ingaqhubeki kanye ngoku,kutheni singaboni kuthabatheka ebantwini. Andazi kutheni.Kodwamasicinge nje, kungathini ukuba iloluhlobo. Mhlawumbikukho inkwenkwe encinci phakathi apha, ngobubusuku, okanyeintombi encinci yazalwa ngaphaya eSeattle,Washington. Ngoku,laa Ncwadi iphethe igama layo. Uze kuhlangula abamagamaayephaya kula Ncwadi. Ukuhlangula kuthetha “ukubuyiselaemva apho yawa khona.” Kwaye kuhlanga loluntu, wawa. Kwayeayinakuyamkela Yona ngoku; incinci kakhulu. Ke ibandlaliyakuyijikeleza, lidlale nje, liyakuba nemihlangano, nanjalonjalo, de lamntu wokugqibela angeniswe ngaphakathi, emvakoko laa Ncwadi ivalwe, akukho wumbi wongezwayo. Emvakoko konke kugqityiwe.9 Kude, kuxa nini ela xesha liyokuba lilo, akukho namnyekuthi waziyo. Kodwa masiqhubeke nje sisenza konke esinako,sisenzela uzuko Lwakhe, lide ela xesha liphele. Asazi ngubani lamntu. Kusenokwenzeka selengenile, silinde nje uKuza Kwakhe.Asazi. Kwaye ayisokuze ityhilwe emntwini, ixesha loKuzaKwakhe, ngokuba nkqu neeNgelosi zeZulu azazi iyakuba nini.Kodwa siyikhangele nje nangeliphi ixesha, kwaye silindile,siqaphele uKuza Kwakhe.10 Ngoku, kufanele ube nokholo kwinto ethile.Akukhathaliseki yintoni, umele ukubeka ukholo lwakhondaweni ithile. Ukholo lwakho, ukholo lwakho lungaba se…kwincwadi efundwayo. Lungaba kwimvumo-nkolo yakho.Ukuba olo lolwakho—ukuba olo lukholo lwakho, lukwimvumo-nkolo yakho, ngoko oko—oko kulapho ukholo lwakho lulelekhona.11 Yithi, umzekelo, e—elithile ihlelo, lithi, “Sinencwadiyokufunda. Uyayikholelwa lonto.” Kuhle, nantoni engaphandlekokuya, akunakuyikholelwa, uyabona, ngokuba yilontooyikholelwayo, yilaa ncwadi ifundwayo yelahlelo. Kwayeisenokuba ukholelwa kwinto ethile, ungabanokhetho lwakho.Yilonto uyiyo, singamaMelika akhululekileyo, ukuba njalo.12 Kodwa, kum, ukholo lwam luseLizwini likaThixo, okouThixo akutshiloyo ukuba yiNyaniso. Zonke ezinye izintoezichaseneyo koKuya, njengezingekho njalo. Yabona? Andithiazinjalo, kodwa, kum, ukuba ichasene koKu, ayinjalo. Kwayesiyafumana namhlanje okokuba abaninzi abantu basekelezelaukholo lwabo phezu kokuthile, naphezu kwe ism ethile, okanyeukwenzeka okuthile, okanye okuthile okunye. Kodwa, kum,kufanele ibe liLizwi likaThixo, kwaye iLizwi Alithembisileyolwalo mhla.13 Hayi umthetho. Umthetho waye ungowomJuda, kwiminyakaeyagqithayo. Namhlanje sikwimimandla yobabalo, kwayesi—siphila ngaphezu komthetho. Indoda e—ephila kubabaloayinamthetho. Akukho mthetho kubabalo.


14 Ungandohlwaya njani ngokudlula ndibaleka kwisikhanyisosokumisa apha, esithe isixeko sandinika ilungelo lokudlulandibaleka kwisikhanyiso sokumisa endifunayo kuso? Yabona?Akunakho. Akukhomthetho wokundohlwaya.15 Ke, okoko ndikuKristu, ndikhululekile emthethweni.Yabona? Ndingaphezulu komthetho ngokuba ndikubabaloLwakhe. Ubeke laa ntembeko kum, yokuba andisayi kwenzananye into engalunganga, okanye Ebengasayi kundinika olababalo. Oko koko Akwenzayo kuwe ngendlela enye. SikubabaloLwakhe.

Ngoku, umxholo wam, ngobubusuku.16 Sukulibala ngomso ebusuku, ngoku. Sizakuzama ukuhlalanje mhlawumbi intwanana encinci yobude. Ndifuna ukufikaapha kancinci phambi kwexesha ngomso ebusuku, ngokubandifuna…Ngomso ebusuku iluhlobo oluthile lobusukuesilunikezela usindiso, nje senze ugxininiso kukubizelaesiguqweni, sigxininise kwabo ukuba bamkele ubhaptizoloMoya oyiNgcwele. Kwaye ubusuku obunye, okanye usukuolunye, phambi kokuba ndihambe, ndingathanda ukuthethakwi…umxholo weGazi, Umqondiso, iGazi elifanele libe phezukocango, kwaye ukuba iNkosi ithandile.17 Ngoku, ngobubusuku. Busuku ngabunye, bendisemvakwexesha busuku ngabunye. Ndizakuzama okona kungconokwam, ngobubusuku, ukuphuma ngexesha. Ndiyaqonda ukubaasinaxesha lininzi liseleyo, kwaye ndiyazama ukuhlangulaixesha esinalo, ke ndinyamezeleni. I…Ndiyakuthandazaukuba uThixo uyakufumana wonke umphefumlo ophantsikoku, osindisekayo, wanga Angawusindisa. Andazi Uyenzanjani. Kwaye luxanduva lwethu ukuthumela iLizwi, okanyeukushumayela iLizwi. Kwaye vumela…Yimbewu. Kwaye xa lambewu iya ekukhuleni, iyakuvelisa nje ngokuchanekileyo okoisithembiso sisiso.18 Ngoku ukusuka kuYohane oNgcwele i-11, ngobubusuku,sithatha esi isiqendwana: Waza uYesu Wafika Wabiza. UYesuwafika.19 Ngoku sifumana imvelaphi yalomfanekiso ngobubusuku.YayinguYesu, xa nje Waye e—engumfana omtsha, Weza kuhlalanosapho eBhetani; kwaye yayinguMariya noMarta noLazaro.Kwaye babelishiyile elabo—elabo ibandla, okanye imvumo-nkolo yabo yabaFarasi nabaSadusi, kwaye babethabathekenguYesu, baza baMmemela ekhayeni labo. Kwaye uLazarowaye e—engumhlobo osenyongweni kuYe. Kwaye siyaxelelwa,okokuba uLazaro kananjalo wayengumphulaphuli omkhulukuYohane umBhaptizi owayethetha ngokuza kukaMesiya.Kwaye ke xa uYesu wafikayo embonakalweni, waza wezaeBhetani, babesoloko beMonwabisa kwikhaya labo.


20 Ngoku, siyafundiswa ukuba uMarta noMariya babesenzaamalengalenga amancinci besenzela itempile, nanjalo njalo,apho uLazaro wayefundela ukuba ngumbhali, ukubhalaiincwadi zomthetho. Kwi…Babeyibhala ezimfeleni ngoko,nje ngofele lwesilwanyana, iphepha lwefele, kwaye lisongwekwencinci esongwayo ize inyhalwe kwisingxobo esincinci.Kwaye uLazaro wayenesandla esihle kakhulu. Kwayewayenakho ukubhala ezincwadi zisongwayo.21 Kwaye uYesu wayehlala nabo. Kwaye babeMbukele esenzaezininzi izinto, beneyona ngqiniseko kuYe, bade banokunikelanje ngokulula ngobomi babo bonke kuYe. NakubeniWaye…22 Yabona, uYesu, ngomhla Wakhe, wayeyintlekisa kakhulukwaye kuhlekiswa, ngaphezu kolona luphantsi unqulo-mntu olukhona emhlabeni namhlanje. Kwakungekho nantonienokuba ngaphantsi nenyelisekileyo kunoYesu. Yabona?Amabandla ayemthiyile Yena. Kwaye nje ayengenamsebenzinaYe, konke konke, ngokuba Wayesoloko ewohlwaya,ewabiza ngazo zonke indidi zamagama, kwaye eqhekezaamarhamente abo. Wajika ihlabathi nje languqulukubhode, njeukutsho. Babezama ukufumana igxeke elithile, ukuMtyhola,kwaye babengenakho ukulifumana. Kwaye noko Yenawa…Kubo, “Wayengumgqakhwe. Wayezelwe ngaphandlekomtshato ongcwele. Waye eludidi olungaqhelekanga lomfo.Wayengenamfundo yehlabathi, nje ukuthetha, kwaye nokoezibiza umprofeti Yena. Kwaye, owu, bethu, onjalo ukubambiumfo Awayenguye!” Kwaye wonke ubani kubo wayemnyembaYena, naphina.23 Ayiguqukanga kangako. Yabona? Njengoko nditshilongobunye ubusuku, “Umtyholi uthatha umntu wakhekodwa hayi umoya wakhe.” Umoya wabantu, osebantwini,wakhe waphila ngaphambili. Ukuba besizakuba laphaiinyangana, apho sibe nofundisiso eZibhalweni, bendingathandaukubonakalisa kuwe ukuba akukho lunqulo-mntu ebuswenibomhlaba, namhlanje, kodwa oko ndingenakubonakalisakuwe kwaqala kwiGenesis, ndize ndikubonise isiqalo sayo.Yimbewu, nje kanye ngomdiliya ukhula, yonke yawo. Kwayeunyukela kwixesha lokudubula ngoku, uze ubuyele emva kwi—kwimbewu kwakhona. Ke zonke ezi zinto ozibonayo zisenzekaemhlabeni, zaqala kwiGenesis, kuba iGenesis sisahlukosembewu yeBhayibhile, i—isiqalo.24 Ke uyabona, loo mimoya, yayiphezu kwabo bantu emvakulo mihla, isaphila ebantwini namhlanje. Yabona? USathanauthatha umntu, kodwa umoya uyaphila.25 UThixo uthatha umntu Wakhe, kodwa uMoya uyaphila. Okokwenza uYesu Kristu okwanguye izolo, namhlanje, naphakade.Wathatha uKristu Yesu, kodwa uMoya, uMoya oyiNgcwele,uyabuyela, ubuphezu kwabantu eBandleni konke ukuhla


ngezigaba. Yabona? Ngokuba, uThixo uthatha umntu Wakhe,kodwa hayi uMoya Wakhe.26 USathana uthatha umntu wakhe, kwaye ufumana yona lemimoya minye. Qaphela imvelo yayo.27 Zibandakanye, ngobubusuku, kwisimo sakho sangokungoku apho umi khona, kunye nesimo somntu othileseBhayibhile. Ubuyakuba phi ukuba ubuphile kwixeshalikaNowa? Ubuyakuba phi? Ubuyakuba phi kwimihla yeNkosiuYesu xa Yayilapha emhlabeni, enyameni Yakhe? Leliphi iqelaobuyakubandakanywa nalo, ngobubusuku? Cinga nje ngayo.Yabona? Leliphi iqela obuya kubandakanywa nalo, xa uPawuloswayebalungisa bona emva phaya eKorinte ngezinto ababezenza?Leliphi iqela obuya kubandakanywa nalo? Yabona? Jonga njeemva. Yiglasi yokukhangela. Sinokubona apho sikhoyo, into…Nantonina esasiyiyo, siyiyo ngoku, yinto engesasiyiyo emvaphaya. Ngokuba, umoya okuthi ngoku, ubandakanywa emvaphaya, okokuba okuya ngumoya omnye owawukubo emvaphaya. Bethu!28 Oko kufanele kusishumkumise kusenze siphume kokwethuu—kokwethu ukozela esikuko, ubudikidiki. Kodwa uyaziiBhayibhile ithe sifanele sibe ngala ndlela, ukuze atsice yonkeinto emlonyeni Wakhe. Ingaba Uyithembisile lonto? [IBandlalithi, “Amen.”—Mhl.] Siyazi sonke Wayithembisa. KwayeUyakuyenza. Ibandla lonke kufanele litsicwe emlonyeniWakhe.

Ngoko, ebandleni kuphumela ngaphandle uMtshakazi.Lowo ngowOnyuliweyo.29 Ngoku, uYesu wayemkile ekhayeni Lakhe kwaye wayehlalanoMarta noMariya noLazaro. Kwaye ngenye imini, uyazi…30 Wathi, eBhayibhileni, Akenzi nto ade uYise amboniseYena amakakwenze. UYohane oNgcwele 5:19, uYesu wathi,“Inene, inene, Ndithi kuni, uNyana akanakwenza ntongokunoKwakhe; kuphela koko Abona uYise ekwenza, wenzanjalo noNyana.” Kwaye ukuba uthelekisa esaSibhalo, sibenexesha lokusicazulula ukuze sibe, sikhangeleka lungileyo,kuwe. Ubaleka nje kakuhle…Ithungelana nje ngayo yonkeiBhayibhile. Kwayewonke umqolo eBhayibhileni unayo kuyo.31 IBhayibhile ikwinkqubekeko. ILizwi ngalinyeliyahlanganiselana. Akukho mpikiswano kuYo. Iqhubeka yonkengokuhlangeneyo. Ukuba ufumana impikiswano, uyifumenengaphandle kweBhayibhile, ngokuba iBhayibhile ayiziphikisi.Ikwinkqubekeko, inkqubekeko, ngokupheleleyo. Qwalasela.32 Ngoku lo, uYesu, xa…Wayesesona sipho sikhulu awathiuThixo wasinika umhlaba, ihlabathi. “UThixo walithandaihlabathi,” uYohane 3:16. Ngoku, abantu babenokholo kuYo.33 Soloko, izipho zikaThixo zijongelwa phantsi, ziintshukumozeenkolo zalemihla. Jonga ngasemva nakweliphi ixesha,


kwimihla ka Eliya, kwimihla ka Moses, kwimihla nayiphinaofuna ukuyijonga. Naphina okukuko, yasoloko ijongelwaphantsi, soloko. Zange yaguquka.34 Kwaye ngoko siyabona phaya, kananjalo, okokuba, kulaamhla, xa uThixo esebenzisa uYesu…35 Ngoku, kwakukho ixesha awathi umfazi wasebenzisaisipho sikaThixo, ngoYesu. Wachukumisa ingubo Yakhe, wazauYesu wavuma ukuba Akakhange azi ngubani oyenzileyo.Ngoku, andikholwa ukuba nje Waye…Waqhula okanyewaqhubeka.Ndikholelwa lonke iLizwiAwalitshoyo lalisingisele,linentsingiselo. Kwaye Wathi, “Ngubani oNdichukumisileyo?”Wayengazi. KwayeWabhekabheka, ngaphaya kwisihlwele, wadeWafumana umfazi kunye nolwa kholo, wamxelela malunganethombe lakhe legazi ukuba laliphilisiwe ngenxa yokhololwakhe. Ngoku, lowo yayingumfazi esebenzisa isipho sikaThixo.Ngoku, uyabona, laa mfazi mnye esebenzisa isipho Sakhe, Wababuthathaka ngoko.36 Kodwa jonga kulemeko apha, xa Wavusa uLazaro ekufeni.Kwakungekho kwanto yathethwayo malunga naYe ngokubabuthathaka phaya. Kwakukangakanani ngaphezulu okwakukoukubiza indoda, emphefumlo wawuzintsuku ezine eluhambeniumkile, kwaye ukubola sekuhleli emzimbeni wendoda! Impumloyayo, mhlawumbi, kwiintsuku ezine, yayisele iwile. Kwayenanko Ephaya, eyibizela emva ebomini kwakhona, yaza yaphila,yatya, yasela, njengaye wonke umntu. Kukangakanani okuyakunokuba yayingumfazi echukumisa ingubo Yakhe! Kodwalowa yayinguThixo esebenzisa isipho Sakhe. Yabona?37 Ngoku, lowo ngumahluko apha eqongeni. Ngoku, ukubauyakulandela i—landela inkonzo uze uphume, xesha lithile,indlela exela ngayo izinto eziyakwenzeka, kuhle, iminyakangaphambili, iiveki ngaphambili, iinyanga ngaphambili, aphomakuyiwe khona, emakwenziwe. NguThixo esebenzisa Sona.38 Apha, nguwe usebenzisa sona. Asindim. Siyaphokokanje, kuba sisipho nje soku-…sokuphumlisa wena, sisuseekunxityweni ngumntu, ukuze uThixo abenakho ukuzinxibangaso Yena, aze athethe izinto. Ngoku, ukholo lwakho,akukuqondi oko, wenza oko, ngokunokwakho. Ukholo lwakholwenza oko.39 Ngoku, ukuba uThixo ufuna ukwenza nayiphi into,Uyakuphakamisa nje, athi, “Ngoku, iyakuba njalo, yiyakwindawo ethile. Ngelixa uqhubayo ngestrato, kuyakubakhointo ethile eyenzekayo apha. Kuyakubakho indoda ene—nesutientsundu. Ineenwele ezingwevu. Iyakudibana nawe ezantsiphaya. Yiya kuyo, kuba umfazi wayo ugula kakhulu. Ukulendawo ingenye. Naku ayakukhangeleka ngako. Kwaye yiyaubeke izandla zakho phezu kwakhe. Mxelele abuyisele laa ntoemva, athe wayithatha apha kwiminyaka embalwa egqithileyo,


kwaye enze into ethile engenye, enze ungxengxezo, kwayeuyakuphila.” Emva koko ndiyakuyixela ebantwini. Siye. Nantsiindoda phaya. Nje ngokuchanekileyo ngoko kwenzekileyo.Malunga nezinto ezahlukeneyo esizweni.40 Malunga naloMarilyn Monroe xa wafayo, abasokuzebakholwe kodwa koko la ntombi yazibulala. Kodwa zangeizibulale. Wafa kukuhlaselwa yintliziyo. Ndayibona, iintsukungaphambi kokuba yenzeke, ndabaxelela malunga nayo. Kodwababengasayi kundiphulaphula.41 Xa abaya balwi babulalana. Iinyanga ezintandathuphambi kokuba yakhe…Phezulu phaya eNew York, omnyewabulala ongomnye. Ndababona e—ezindlwini zentselo zabo,bexambulisana. Ndaza ndabona omnye ebulala omnye, iinyangaezintandathu phambi kokuba yenzeke.42 Zonke ezi zinto e…ethe iNkosi yazibonisa, nguYeesebenzisa isipho Sakhe. Akukho…Akubi buthathaka, emvakoko. Kodwa xa…Yilonto endenza ndibe buthathaka, kuxawena usebenzisa isipho sikaThixo, njengoMoya oyiNgcwele.Andisosipho Sakhe. UMoya oyiNgcwele sisipho Sakhe. Esosisipho sikaThixo eBandleni, nguMoya oyiNgcwele, kwayewena uyasisebenzisa Sona. Kwaye Sona sisebenza naphina aphounokuzikhupha wena egiyareni. Yabona endithetha kona? Uzeuvumele uMoya oyiNgcwele uhambe ukusebenzise.43 Ngoku, kule meko, uYesu wayexelelwe nguYise, ukubaalishiye ikhaya emke.44 Ukuba uyaqaphela indlela eyasebenza ngayo, bona, emvakokuba egulile uLazaro. Kwaye ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo,abaninzi babo bathi, “Uh-huh! Ngoku masibone kuphiapho akhoyo ngoku lamqengqeleki ungcwele womshumayeli,ozakuthandazela abagulayo. Akekhombonakalweni.”45 Ke, Wemka. Kwaye bathi, ekugqibeleni, bathumela kuYe. Xaugqirha enikezela, bathumela kuYe ukuba eze. Kwaye endaweniyokuza, Wasuka waqhubekela phambili. Bathumela kwakhona.Endaweni yokuza, wasuka Waqhubeka wemka ngenye indlela.Yabona? Kwaze emva koko, konke ngaxeshanye, Wema, wajongangasemva kubafundi; emva kweentsuku ezininzi, umbonowazalisekisa oko uYise ebembonise kona Yena. Wathi, “ULazaroulele.”

Abafundi bathi, “Kuhle, wenza kakuhle.” Yabona?46 “Ulele,” hayi ufile. Akukho nto injalo njengekholwalisifa. Yabona? Kwaye Wabaxelela ngolwimi lwabo, “Ufile,kwaye ngenxa yenu Ndiyavuya beNdingekho phaya. Kodwa,Ndiyokumvusa. Ndiyaya ukuyakumvusa.”47 Yabona, Wayesazi ukuba izakwenziwa, ngoku. Kuba, ukubaAkenzanga, ngoko Watsho into engeyiyo xa Wathi, “Andenzi ntode uBawo aNdibonise kuqala.” Yabona?Wayesazi.


48 Kwaye emva koko jonga kuYe engcwabeni, “Bawo,ndiyaKubulela, Wena sele uNdivile. Kodwa ndikutsho okungenxa yabo abemi apha.” Yabona?

“Lazaro, phuma.” Kwaye wenza njalo. Waphumelangaphandle engcwabeni.49 Ngoku, xa uYesu washiya ikhaya, kutheni, okwa kufanengxaki kwangena. Kwaye khumbula nje, xa Eshiya ikhayalakho, ingxaki isendleleni. Ngoku, Wayengagxothwanga, apha.Okanye, Wayemkile nje lula, ngokuba uYise waMtsalela kude.Onke amathemba ayemkile. Ngoku, elinjani ukudakumbaikhaya elincinci! Abaninzi bethu, ngobubusuku, bayazi indlelayokuvelana neliya ikhaya, xa ukufa kuntlitha ikhaya lethu.Kwaye akungeze wazi ukuba yintoni ude ufanele udlule ngokuyakube kanye. Kodwa, uyazi, xa babe…50 Ukufa kwakuntlithe ikhaya elincinci. Bathumela kuYe.Elinjani ukwaphuka ikhaya elalililo! INdoda ababenentembelokuyo, iNdoda ababeyithanda, iNdoda ababeyibonile iphilisaabagulayo, kwaye yenze abazimfama babone, kwaye iprofete,kwaye isazi iingcinga zentliziyo, ixelele abantu okuyakwenzeka,lonke ixesha! Kwaye Wanxibelana neSibhalo, ukuyakwisingxi, kanye ngokuchanekileyo, kangako, de bona abantuabangabathandi beSibhalo bamkholelwe Yena. Yabona? Kwayekwakukho abanye babahlobo Bakhe abanyanisekileyo, kwayeWavumela okuya kwenzeke. Yabona? Wavumela oko kwenzekanje ukubona ukuba bayakwenza ntoni. Akukho ntandabuzo, okokoko kwakusengcingeni kaYisemalunga nayo. Onke amathembaayemkile. INdoda ababethembele kuyo, yabonakala ukubaYayingeyiyo into ababecinga ukuba yayiyiyo Yona, okanye u—ukuba yiyo. Kwaye babesekuzilahleleni. ULazaro, umsakwabo,wayefile.51 Babengenakubuyela emva ecaweni, ngokuba babeselebemamkele uYesu, “laa mbaxi,” kwaye babekwayiwe, kwayebenencwadi yabo, njengoko kwakunjalo, namhlanje, esukaecaweni yabo, eyokuba bangabi sabuyela. Kwaye babeshiyekebengenacawa. Babeshiyeke bengenasihlobo, kukhangelekanjalo. Abantu besixeko babebalahlile. Izihlobo zabo ezilungileyoezaziqhele ukunxulumana nabo ecaweni, zazingenantoyakwenza nabo, ngokuba bamkela uYesu, “Lo mphumanto’wombaxi.”52 Ke, ngoko, iNdoda ababenentembelo kuyo yayibaphoxilengokucacileyo kwaye ingasayi kubabonelela. Kwaye bathumelaityeli lesibini. Kwaye Usabaphoxa; waza wavumela indoda ife,ide iqholwe, ibekwe engcwabeni, ingcwatywe. Ngoku, uthethangeyure elithinzi, leyo yayiyeyona yure ilithinzi elathi elakhayalincinci layibona.53 Waza emva koko uYesu weza. NguYe lowo, kulaa yureinethunzi. Uyivumela yenzeke, ngelinye ixesha. Eyona yure


ilithunzi, emva koko uYesu weza. UBukho Bakhe busolokobuzisa amathemba amatsha.54 Lena ingaba yeyona ilithinzi iyure kwabathile kuni bantu.Kusenokwenzeka, ugqirha ukuncamile, ngomhlaza. Kwayeumntu wenze konke anokwenza ukusindisa ubomi bakho,kodwa kungaphaya kolwakhe—kolwakhe ulwazi. Akanakumbianokusebenza ngako. Wenze konke anokwenza, kwaye uzakufa.Ingaba yeyona ilithinzi iyure owakhe wayibona. Kodwa,khumbula nje, kukwelathinzi leyure xa Esiza. Uyeza. Emvakoko, xa Esiza, kuzisa ithemba elitsha. Kuzisa amathembaamatsha xa Esiza. UBukho Bakhe buzisa ithemba.55 UMarta, waphuma. Wasoloko ebonisa imibala yakhe,eyokuba wayengekho nje kanye ebonakala nyanisekileyongokuchanekileyo njengoMariya, ngokuba uMariyawayephulaphula eLizwini, kodwa, uMarta, xa wayeMphekelaisidlo sasemalanga, nezinto.Wabonisa awayekuko kanye ngoko.56 Kuba, xa uYesu wabuyela esixekweni, akukho ntandabuzokodwa koko abaninzi kubo bathi, “Ngoku, emva kokubainkwenkwe ifile, yangcwatywa, ngoku lomqengqeleki ungcwelewomshumayeli uyanyebeleza ubuyela esixekweni.” Akukhontandabuzo ukuba xa uMarta waqalisa ukuphuma, abanyebabo bathi, “Jongani, nakuya ehamba ngoku. Ukubandandisendaweni yakhe, bendiyakuMnika intwana yengcingayam. BendiyakuMxelela malunga nayo xa ndifika phaya. Owu,akukho ntandabuzo kuphela koko wayezakutsho. Siyakuhambasiyokumbukela eyenza.” Ukuba wayenokwenza, eli balibelingayi kufundwa ngendlela elililo, ngobubusuku.57 Ngoku mqaphele. Naku ehamba. Wayenokuba wagqithango—ngo—ngomalusi weyakhe—weyakhe yokuqala icawa.Waza wathi, “Ngoku, masifumanise kwenzeka ntoni ngoku.Yabona? Unyebeleze wemka. Xa iyure, iyure ebalulekileyo,ifika, Unyebeleze wemka.”58 Ngoku, uMarta, akukho ntandabuzo, wayengumfundiweBhayibhile, okanye wayengenako ukumamkela uYesu,indawo yokuqala. Wayengenako ukuyamkela phezukwepsychology yabantu, okanye phezu kweziseko zenkolo zaloomhla. Wayengenako ukuyamkela phezu kwecawa, ngokubaicawa yayimthiyile Yena. Kwaye abenkolo babemthiyile Yena.Kwaye bonke kubo babemthiyile Yena. Ke, kufanele ukubawayengumfundiweSibhalo, kwayewayefundile eBhayibhileni.59 Kwimihla ka Eliya, kwakukho umfazi oga-…ongumfaziwomShunanekazi. Kwaye wayelidlolo. Kwaye wayenokholoendodeni, umprofeti, wayenguye owaloo mhla, ku Eliya. Kwayewamakhela indawana encinci ecaleni lendlu yakhe. Kubayena nomyeni wakhe babenekhaya elihle. Bakha indawo bazebabeka i—isitya samanzi phakathi phaya, kunye nendawo yakheyokuhlamba nokuzicoca, baze nje benza indawo entle kunene,


yokuhlala kakuhle. Kwaye xa esiza ngaphaya, yena noGehazi,isicaka sakhe, waza wathi, “Jonga kokunjani ukulunga athilomfazi womShumanekazi wa—wasibonisa kona.” Wathi,“Hamba uyokumbuza ukuba ndithethe nomphathi e—endaziyongaye. Ndiyamazi kakuhle. Okanye, ndithethe nokumkani?Bendikhe ndabizwa kananjalo ndabizwa ngamaxesha amaninziukuba ndithethe naye ndibonisane naye.”Wathi, “Ngoku, andaziukuba ndingathetha na xa ndisiya phambi kwakhe kwakhona,okanye xa ndibizwe ukuya kwabanye bababantu?”60 Ke uGehazi waya wambuza. Waza wathi, “Hayi.” Wathi,“Ndihlala kunye nabantu bakowethu. Andinasizathu nasinyesokucela izinto ezifana nezo. Oko bekuphuma nje entliziyweniyam, nje kuba ndisazi yena yindoda kaThixo. Kwaye ndifunaukubonisa ukwenzelelela kuye. Kuphela koko.”Wathi…61 Kuhle, buyela emva, waza wathi uGehazi, “Kodwa umyeniwakhe mdala kwaye abanabantwana.”62 Ke, u-Eliya makube wabona umbono. Waza wathi, “Hamba,mxelele, ‘Malunga nexesha lobomi, malunga nonyaka ukusukelangoku, uyakugona umntwana.’” Waza wenza njalo. Wabanenkwenkwe encinci.63 Inkwenkwe encinci yayimalunga neshumi elinesibinileminyaka ubudala. Yayingaphandle emasimini kunye noyise,malunga neshumi elinanye entloko emini, ke kufanele ukubayayikukutshiswa lilanga. Yakhala, “Intloko yam! Intlokoyam!” Waza uyise wenza ukuba ithunyelwe ekhaya, baza—baza ke bayilalisa phezu kwemilenze kanina. Kwaza emvakwemini, inkwenkwe encinci yafa, yagula kangako; mhlawumbikukutshiswa lilanga. Kungekhomphefumlo kuyo. Yayifile.64 Ke wayithatha wayibeka phezu kwebhedi ka-Eliya. Enjaniindawo yokuyilalisa! Owu, bethu! Kanye ngqo kakuhle.Wayilalisa phezu kwebhedi ka-Eliya.65 Waza wathi kwisicaka, “Bopha i-esile ngoku, uze uhambephambili. Kwaye uze ungemi de ndikuxelele, ngokuba sifunaukuya kwindoda kaThixo.” Wayesazi, ukuba unokufikakulaa ndoda, uyakufumanisa isizathu sokuba kutheni. UkubauThixo unokuyixelela yona ukuba olwa sana lwalusiza, kwayeyayinokumsikelela ngentsikelelo kaThixo, yokuba obakhe—yokuba obakhe ubudlolo besibeleko buyakuzala unyana,ngokuqinisekileyo uThixo wayenokuyixelela laa ndoda kutheniAmthathileyo. Wathi, “Ungemi de ndikuxelele. Hamba uyekulaa ndoda kaThixo.”66 Ngoku, xa u—umkhweli wasondelayo kwindoda kaThixo,yayingazi. UThixo akabaxeleli yonke into ezakwenzekaabaprofeti Bakhe. Wayengakwazi amakakwenze. Ke wathi,“Nanko esiza laa mShunanekazi,” wathi kuGehazi. Wathi,“Kwaye—kwaye udakumbile, kwaye uThixo ukufihlile kum.Andazi ufuna ntoni.”


67 Ke, xa wenyukayo. Ndiyakuthanda oku. Xa wenyukayowasondela ku Eliya, u-Eliya wakhwaza, wathi, “Ingabakulungile konke kuwe? Ingaba kulungile konke ngomyeniwakho? Ingaba kulungile konke ngomntwana?”68 Qwalasela, umyeni ehamba emgangathweni, ekhala.Yabona? Wayengenalo ukholo awayenalo umfazi. Kwaye yenaumyeni, ekhala nje kwaye eqhubekeka; bonke abamelwane,beqhubeka. Kwaye usana, iiyure phambi koko, lwalulelelubanda, ebhedini.69 Qaphela, xa efika kule ndoda kaThixo. Wathi, “Konkekulungile.” Amen. Ndiyakuthanda oko. “Yonke into ilungilengoku. Ndisebukhoneni bokumele Yena.” Amen. Nantsoke. “Konke kulungile.” Kwaza emva koko wawa phantsingasezinyaweni zakhe waqalisa ukumbikela; hayi yena exelelaumfazi. Umfazi wamxelela.70 Kwaye ngoko wathi kuGehazi, “Bhinqa izinqe zakho,uthathe le ntonga uze uhambe uyibeke emntwaneni.” Wayengaziinto amakayenze.71 Ke…Kwaye ndiyacinga kulapho uPawulos, enye indodayeSibhalo, wayengenakho, engenakho ukuthatha iitshefuemzimbeni wakhe, ukuba wayengazange abe neSibhalosokuyenza. U-Eliya wazi nto, yonke into awayeyichukumisa,yayisikelelekile; kodwa ukuba wayenokufumana umfazi ukubaakholwe koko! Ke ndicinga koko uPawulos wakwenzayo.Ngoku, sithambisa iitshefu nge oli. Ngoku, oko akusoSibhalo,kodwa konke kulungile. Kugqibelele kulungile. “Kodwabathatha emzimbeni kaPawulos,” iBhayibhile itshilo, “iitshefuokanye imibhinqo.” Qwalasela. Kodwa…72 Kwaye u-Eliya, wathi, “Thatha le ntonga, hamba uyoyibekaelusaneni. Kwaye ukuba nabani uthetha nawe, sukuphendula.Hamba nje, beka intonga elusaneni.”73 Ngoku, ukholo lomfazi lwalungekho sentongeni.Lwalukumprofeti.Wathi, “Njengoko e—ehleli nje iNkosi uThixo,nomphefumlo wakho ungasokuze ufe, andizukukushiya.” Kwayewahlala kanye phaya, enyamekele, wade wafumana impenduloyoko wayefuna ukukwazi.74 Kuhle, u-Eliya wayengenampendulo, ke kwakukho kuphelainto enye yokwenza, kukuhamba naye. Ke, wabhinqa izinqezakhe, waza wahamba.75 Wadibana noGehazi ebuya. Wathi, “Ingaba uwulandeleumyalelo wam?”76 Wathi, “Ndikwenzile. Ndibeke intonga phezu kosana.Akukho bomi okanye nanto okwangoku.” Ibe iziyure neeyureusana lufile.77 Kuhle, u-Eliya wangena. Wayengazi amakakwenze.Ke, khumbulani, wehla enyuka ngomgangatho, nje emva


naphambili, emva naphambili, wade uMoya weza kuye.Kwaye xa uMoya weza kuye, wabeka umzimba wakhe phezukowolwasana umzimba, kwaye yathimla amatyeli asixhenxeyaza yabuyela ebomini, ngenxa yokwakuzinikela nokhololwalamama.78 Ngoku, uMarta, esazi ukuba laa mShunamekazi womfaziwayenokholo kulaa mprofeti, ekubeni engummeli kaThixoemhlabeni wawo laa mhla. Ukuba u-Eliya wayengu…wayengummeli kaThixo womhla wakhe, waye esazi umfaziukuba wayebone ngokwaneleyo okuphuma kuYesu okokubawayeNgummeli kaThixo wawo loo mhla. Nantso ke. Yabona?Yenza iSibhalo sibaleke kakuhle.79 Emva koko, xa wabaleka waphuma waya kuYe, ebonakalangathi wayenelungelo lokumngxolisa Yena, aze athi, “KutheniUngezanga? Kutheni Ungezanga? Sithumele sikubiza Wena.Sishiye icawa. Senze konke oku.” Hayi. Leyo yinguqulelo ka1964 yayo. Hayi ngoko, bona. “Senze konke oku. Senze okuya.Ndinikeze oku. Ndinikeze okuya.” Unikeze ntoni? UThixowanikezela ngoNyana ngenxa yakho nam, abangafanelekanga.80 Ufanele ukuba waphumela phaya. Kwaye wayesazi ukubauThixo wazibonakalisa Yena. Kwaye qaphela xa esiza.Bamlandela yena, ukuze babone awayeyakuthetha. Ngokuwaphuma phaya, waza wawa phambi kwaKhe, kuqala,waze wathi, “Nkosi.” Yilonto Awayeyiyo. “Ukuba Ubulapha,umsakwethu ngeba ebengafanga.” Yabona? “Umsakwenu ngebaebengafanga.” Kwaye wa…

Wathi, “Umsakwenu uyakuvuka kwakhona.”WazaYena…81 “Ewe, Nkosi. Uyakuvuka kumhla wokugqibela, kuvuko lukawonkewonke.Wayeyinkwenkwe elungileyo. Uyakuvuka kumhlawokugqibela.” Yabona, babekholwa kuvuko lukawonkewonke.

Wathi uYesu, “KodwaNdilulo olwavuko noBomi.”82 Owu, bethu, emva kokuba emphoxile! Ingathini iNdoda,eluvuko loBomi, engaze iphathe isihlobo ngolwa hlobo?Ngamanye amaxesha Uyakuvavanya, abone oyakukwenza.Yabona? Abeke into phambi kwakho, aze abone into oyenzayongayo. Angayenza lonto, ngobubusuku. Ubesoloko ekwenza oko,nje ukubona oko uyakukwenzamalunga nayo.83 Emva koko siyafumanisa, okokuba xa oku kwenziwa,wathi, “Ndiyakholwa ukuba Wena unguNyana kaThixoowayemele ukuza ehlabathini.” Oko koko Wakuvumayo ngqoukuba ukuko. “Kwaye nangoku, nangona umsakwethu efile,nangona eqholiwe, nangona engcwatyiwe, nangona enukaengcwabeni, kodwa nangoku, nantoni na Oyicelayo kuThixo,uThixo uyakukunika Wena.” Nantso ke. Nantso ke. Esosisikhokelo sokuvula. Wakholwa koko Wakucelayo. UkubaUcela uThixo esenzela yena, uThixo uyakuwuva umthandazo


Wakhe. “Nangoku, nantoni na Oyicelayo kuThixo, uThixouyakukunika Wena.”84 Ngoku ubungabanalo olwahlobo lokholo, ngobubusuku,kwiLizwi likaThixo? Kulungile, uYesu liLizwi Lakhe.Ubungabanalo olwahlobo lungako lokholo eLizwinilikaThixo? Xa Lona njengoko li—njengoko liqondakaliselwengokungqalileyo ngawo lomhla njengoko Lalinjaloukuqondakaliswa kulaa mhla. Ungakukholelwa oko? “Nantonina oyicelayo Wena kuThixo, uThixo uyakukunika Yona.”Yabona?85 Uthi, “Kodwa ugqirha undiphoxile, Mzwalwana uBranham,wathi akanakuba sandenzela nto.”86 “Kodwa nangoku, Nkosi!” Uthi, “Andikwazanga kuhambaiminyaka. Kodwa nangoku, Nkosi, nantoni na Wena oyicelayokuThixo, uThixo uyakukunika Wena.” Uhleli kwisandlasasekunene kobuKhulu kubuNgangamshe, elindela wena ucele.“Nangoku, nantoni na Oyicela kuThixo, uThixo uyakukunikaWena.”87 Ayitsho na iBhayibhile, “Uhleli kwisandla sasekunenekubuNgangamshe”? Yintoni isandla sasekunene? Hayi isandlanjengomntu, esam. Ngamandla, isandla sasekunene samandla.NguThixo enathi, uThixo ekuthi. UThixo apha ngoku. Isandlasasekunene, obuhleli buphila uBukhona, kanye apha. Xa ufunauThixo, akudingeki uye eZulwini. Ulapha kanye nawe. Isandlasasekunene samandla obuNgangamshe Bakhe, ehleli apha,elindele ukwenza ungxengxezo phezu kwezivumo zenu, elindeleukubizwa.88 “Nangoku, Nkosi!” Nangona ugqirha endixeleleandinakuphila kuphela enye iveki, “Nangoku, Nkosi, nantonioyicela uThixoWena, uThixo wokunikaWena.”89 Akumangalisi Wathi, “Umsakwenu uyakuvuka kwakhona.”Wathi, “Ndim olwavuko noBomi. Lowo ukholwa kuM, nakubeniebefile, noko uyakuphila. Nosukuba esidla ubomi okholwayokuM akasayi kufa. Uyakholwa na koku?”

Wathi, “Ehe, Nkosi, ndiyayikholwa.” Injalo lonto.90 Ngoku, xa unokholo lwenene, xa lawo mazinyoobuxhakaxhaka esiya kuhlangana ngolwa hlobo, ivili lizakujika.Okuthile kuza kwenzeka, kuba kukho amandla macala omabini.Amandla, elukholweni! Kunye namandla…Ivili elincincilijikwa lukholo. Elikhulu lijikwa ngamandla kaThixo. Xa ezozinto zijika, okuthile kufanele kwenzeke.91 Ukwenza okwa kukhanya phezulu phaya, kuthathaintwanana ezimbini zento, kunye nomatshini ojikelezayowokwenza umbane, zijika kunye. Inje kanye ngawe. Iyakwenzaukukhanya. Iyakwenza ukholo. Iyakwenza—iyakwenzaamandla. Iyakwenza impiliso. Xa ikholwa noThixo bejika


kunye, kwenza amandla ovuko Lwakhe. Xa ikholwa lithathaiLizwi Lakhe entliziyweni liqalise ukulenza. Lizisa ukholo,kuba Uthembisile. Yonke into isemgceni. Kuphela kwentoofanele uyenze ukufumana umbane kukutyhala iqhosha. Kokokuphela ofanele ukwenze xa esi Sibhalo sifanele sizalisekengoku. Cinezela iqhosha. Sukoyika.92 Yilonto iyingxaki nabantu. Ndasoloko ndisitsho…Yintlekisa encinci ukuyitsho. Ndifumana iindidi ezimbinizabantu njengoko ndihamba, abeziseko nabakwaMoya.Ngaphandle koko, andazi malunga nayo. Kwaye abaqiqingabantu abaziyo ngokuzinzileyo malunga nalapho bamekhona, kodwa abanalo nolunye ukholo koko bakwenzayo. KwayeabakwaMoya ngabantu abane…banalo olwakholo kodwa abazibangobani.93 Inje ngomntu onemali ebhankini abe engakwazi kubhalaitsheki abe omnye uyakwazi ukubhala itsheki abe akanamaliebhankini. Ukuba unokuzihlanganisa. Ukuba ufumanaabakwaMoya ukuba bavuke, okokuba uMoya oyiNgcweleenibanga ukuba ninaye, nguYe eqondakalisa iGama LakheneLizwi Lakhe. Ngoko bhala igama lakho ukunqumleza itshekiuze uyingenise. Yiqaphele yona iba—yiqaphele yona iqondwayibhanki yeZulu.94 “Cela uBawo egameni Lam, nantoni na.” Yabona? Sukoyikaukuyicela. Wathembisa Uyakuyenza. Kutheni, phaya, yiyi…Akudingeki ukuba ukhathazekemalunga nayo.Wayithembisa.95 Yiqwalasele ngoku. Kwaye wayelungile, xa waziyoukuba uThixo waye eku Eliya, Waye—Waye—WayenguKristu,kananjalo. Uyayikholwa lonto? UYesu wathi wayenguye,wathi wayenguthixo, kuba iLizwi likaThixo leza kuye. UkubauThixo wayeku Eliya, kukangakanani ngaphezulu WayeekuNyana Wakhe! Kwaye ukuba uThixo, ngesa sabelo sincinci,wayenokuvusa usana olufileyo, kukangakanani ngaphezulu,uThixo ekwinzaliseko Yakhe!96 Kuhle, kukangakanani ngaphezulu ngoku, uThixouziqondakalise kunye nathi kwaye ekuthi! Isicamagushelosenziwe. Sasingenziwanga ngoko. Babesephantsikwesicamagushelo se—sedini lenkunzi yegusha. Kwaye ngokusiphantsi kwesicamagushelo seGazi likaThixo; hayi igazilobuJuda, hayi igazi leNtlanga. Wayengelilo nelinye. WayeeliGazi likaThixo.97 Igazi liphuma kwisini seduna. Isikhukukazi singabekaiqanda, kodwa ukuba khange sibe kunye nentaka eliduna,alisokuze liqandusele. Alichunyiswanga. Ukuchuma kusukakwiseli yegazi esisithwali-oksijini, elo ligazi elikwisini seduna,okoko. Umfazi liqanda kuphela.98 Kwaye kule meko, uYesu wayeliGazi likaThixo, iselieliGazi elidaliweyo. Wayengenguye umJuda naNtlanga.


Waye enguThixo. IBhayibhile yathi, “Sisindiswe ngeGazilikaThixo,” hayi elomJuda okanye iNtlanga, iGazi elidaliweyo.Kulapho, ukuba WayengumJuda, ukholo lwam lumkile. UkubaWayeyiNtlanga, ukholo lwam lumkile. Waye enguThixo. Wayeengongenakufa uThixo ebonakaliswe enyameni, okokubaWadala iseli yeGazi waza wezenzela umzimba OngoWakhe.Amen. Oko kwenza amadimoni angcangcazele kwaye abaleke.Oko kumenza abe kwintshukumo. Xa ubona eyona yeneneinto. Mayibongwe iNkosi. [IBandla liyancoma—Mhl.] UThixoebonakaliswe enyameni. UliGazi likaThixo. Ngoko ke, uBomibuza busuka kulambewu. Kwaye ngoku ngelaGazi…

99 Kwidini elidala, umnquli ubeka izandla zakhe phezukwenkunzi yegusha, baze banqumle umqala. Ababingelelibathatha igazi baze bayitshise. Kwaye umnquli, esiva iintlunguzokufa phezu kwe—kwenkuzi yegusha, izandla zakhe zonkeziligazi elisuka kwencinci, efayo inkunzi yegusha, efayo, okanyeigusha encinci, njengoko isifa, kodwa wabuyela emva waphumakunye nesazela esinye ebengene naso. Ngokuba, xa laa seli yegaziyophuka, yayiligazi lenye, iduna lenkunzi yegusha, yabona,kwaye iqanda elisuka kwithokazi. Kwaye ubomi obabukokuyababungenakubuyela phezu kobomi bakhe, ngokuba bubomibesilwanyana. Ubomi besilwanyana abunamphefumlo, ke asaziokulungileyo kokungalunganga. Ke abunakubuyela emva.

100 Kodwa koKu, xa sibeka ngenene izandla zethu phezukweDini lethu, uYesu, size sive ezintliziyweni zethu okokubasinetyala, kwaye sazi oko sikwenzayo. IGazi lelaDini, uBomiobabukwelaGazi yayinguThixo Ngokwakhe, ke Uyabuyelaemva phezu kwakho, uMoya oyiNgcwele. Uba ngunyanakaThixo, emva koko, ungenasimbi isazela sesono. Lowouzelwe nguThixo akasenzi isono. Akanakona. IMbewu kaThixoikuye. Akanakona. Akanamnqweno wasono, konke. Ke, okousanqwenela isono, unetyala laso. Kodwa xa ungenamnqwenotu, ukuba wenza nantoni engalunganga, ngoko akuyenzingenjongo.

101 AmaHebhere 6 athi, “Ukuba sithi sone ngabomi emvenikokuba sakwamkela ukuyazi iNyaniso, akusasele dini ngenxayesono.” Ukona ngabom. Ke ukuba uyaqhubeka ufuna ukona,ngabom, kukho into engundonakele namava akho.

102 Ngoku, xa wamvayo Yena. Waye kanye…Xa Wathi,“Ndiluvuko noBomi. NDINGUYE.” Owu! Enjani ingqinisekoyeLizwi lesithembiso, ngokuba Wayengulaa NDINGUYEowayesentlango kunye noMoses, emva phaya kwityholoelivuthayo! Nkqu naxa onke amathemba ayephelile, nakubekunjalo wayenelisekile. Ukuba nje unokumenza Yena acele,iyakwenzeka. Ngoku, indlela esidinga ngayo ukholo njengoluyanamhlanje!


103 Ngoku, kwakufanele akholwe kokungenakwenzeka,kwingcinga zale mihla, indlela yale mihla yokucinga.Kwakufanele akholwe kokungenakwenzeka. Kodwa izintoezingenakwenzeka zenziwa zaba yinene xa uThixo ethatyathwaeLizwini Lakhe. Izinto ezingenakwenzeka zenziwa ezenene xauThixo ethatyathwa eLizwini Lakhe.104 Qwalasela, obunjani ubuhle, “Kodwa nangoku, Nkosi,nangoku,” akukhathaliseki yintoni i—imeko eyiyo. “Nangoku,nantoni na oyicelayo Wena kuThixo, uThixo uyakuyenza,” kulayure elithinzi.105 Masiphicothe nje iqela labantu apha, okanye njalo,eBhayibhileni, nje umzuzu, nje ukufumana laa yure ilithinziphambi kokuba sibize umgca wokuthandazela.106 Masicinge ngoYobhi. Wayeyeyona ndoda ililungisaemhlabeni, waza uSathana waza phezu kwakhe. Waza kuThixo,kuqala, wamtyhola uYobhi ngokuba ngofekethiswayo nguThixo.Wathi, “Ngokuqinisekileyo, umbiyele. Qhawula uthango.Ndiyakumenza akuqalekiseWena ebusweni Bakho.”

UThixowathi, “Akunakuyenza lonto.” Yabona?107 Kwaye ngoku, uYobhi wangena kulo lonke uhlobolwengxaki. Khumbula, walahlekelwa bubo bonke ubutyebibakhe.Walahlekana nako konke ukubaluleka kwakhe.108 Wayeyinkosana, uyazi, eMpuma, nazo zonke iinkosanaezincinci zaziqhele ukuza kuqubuda phambi kwakhe ngokubawayeyindoda yobulumko. Wayengumprofeti. Kwaye wonkeumntuwayefuna ukumbona nokuthetha naye, nje ithutyana. Njeithutyana lexesha lakhe liyakuthetha nje lukhulu. Kwaye indlelaawayeqhele ukuhamba ehle ngestrato, intlonipheko entliziyweniyakhe ngoThixo, ngokuba uThixowamenza umprofeti.109 Kwaye amadoda azingqondi ayenyuka aze athi, “Yobhi,mhlekazi, siyazi ukuba uThixo omkhulu weZulu unawe. Njeicebiso elincinci singathanda ukuba nalo. Senze ethile-thile into.Sifanele sibe nantoni?” Kwaye uThixo ubesakuyityhila kuYobhi.Kwaye bebesakuya bayokwenza oko ngala ndlela, kwaye leyoyindlela ebisakuba yiyo. Oko kwakulungile.110 Kodwa, konke ngaxeshanye, bonke abantu bachasana naye.Ehe. Wonke umntu wamjikela. Emva koko izitshingitshanezeza, zabulala abantwana bakhe zabulala zonke izilwanyanazakhe. Yonke into awayenayo yemka. Emva koko kuza abonabakhe abakhulu, mhlawumbi amadikoni ebandla lakhe, yabona,beza kumnika intuthuzelo. Kwaye babemtyhola. “Ngoku, Yobhi,uyazi, indoda eyayithandwa nguThixo, njengawe, kwaye konkeoku kwenzekile kuyo, kufanele kube kukho into engalunganga.Wenze into engalunganga.”111 Wathi uYobhi, “Ndonelisekile zange. Intliziyo yam icocekilephambi koThixo, kwaye ndilenzile idini lam.” Amen.


112 Nantso ke, ngoko yima kulo. Ukuba uhlangabezeneneemfuno zikaThixo, hlala kanye phaya. Sukugungqa. U-Abraham wabiza yonke into echaseneyo nesasithembisonjengengekhoyo. Zange agxadazele kwisithembisongokungakholwa, kodwawomelela, enika indumiso uThixo.113 UYobhi wahlala kanye nalo. Kwaye emva emva kwethuba,ongowakhe umfazi ngahlobo luthile wamjikela. UYobhiwabanamathumba, impilo yakhe yasilela. Waphuma wayakuhlala eluthuthwini, wazikrwempa ngompha okanye okuthile,isirhuzuli. Ungafane ucinge esinjani ukuba lusizi isimo laandoda yayikuso!114 Ndikhumbula ndithatha eliya ngelinye ixesha, kumnqubawam, iminyaka eyagqithayo. Kwaye ndandikuyo unyaka,nje iNcwadi kaYobhi. Leyo yindlela. Siyayiqhekeza nje,nje sithunge lonke iLizwi ngokuhlangana. Kwaye emvakoko ndabanaye kwelathuthu phaya malunga nezintlanuezilandelelanayo iiCawa. Kwaye zange ndi…Emva kwethuba,udade omncinci wandibhalela incwadi. Wathi, “MzalwanauBranham, uzakumsusa nini uYobhi kwelathuthu?” Kodwanda—ndandizama ukuvakalisa into. Yabona? Nda—ndandi—ndandizama ukwenza oku kuzinze, okokuba, kutheniwayephaya.115 Kwaye umfazi wakhe waphuma wathi, “Yobhi, ulusizi.Kutheni ungamqalekisi uThixo uze ufe ukufa?”116 Ngoku jonga. Zange ambize yena umfazi osisidenge. Wathi,“Wena uthetha okomfazi osisidenge.” Ngamanye amazwi, “U—u—uthetha okwesidenge.” Wathi, “INkosi yanika, kwaye iNkosiiyathabatha. Malibongwe iGama leNkosi.”117 Emva koko, wayesazi wayezakufa. Kwaye wathi,“Nkosi…” Isahluko se-14 sikaYobhi, wathi, “Kukho ithembaemthini, ukuba uvuthulekela phantsi.” Wayazi ukuba ubu…Iyabaphembelela abantu. Ubomi bakhe babululutho. UThixoakazange asinike ubomi bethu nje ukuba siyabule, oku, okuya.Wabunikezela, ukuba busetyenziselwe Yena. Yenza into ethile.Xelela umtu othile. Akunakuthetha? Hlabelela ngomlozi, okanyeinto ethile. Nika inkangeleko ethile, ndaweni ithile. KwayeuYobhi wayeluhlobo lendoda eyayilulutho.118 Wathi, “Ukuba umthi uhlela engcwabeni; i—ivumbalemvula, iingcambu ziyaphuma kwakhona. Ukubaintyantyambo iyafa, ingcambu encinci ilala phaya ize idubuleivuleke, intlama iyaphuma kuyo.” Akukho ndlela onokufumanaubomi kuyo. Kodwa xa intlakohlaza ifika, iyavela lantyatyambokwakhona. “Ngoku, kukho ithemba, ukuba intyatyambo iyafa,ukuba umthi uyafa. Kodwa umntu,” wathi, “ulala phantsi,aphume umoya. Oonyana bakhe bayeza ukuza kumnika imbeko,kwaye angayiboni lonto.” UYobhi ufuna ukwazi. “Xa betyalaimbewu emhlabeni, kwaye iyaphuma. Kodwa batyala umntu


emhlabeni, kwaye akaphumi.” Ngoku wathi, “Kumalunganantoni konke oku?”119 Kwaye wayengaqondi. “Angathini umntu, enozukoolungaphezulu kunentyatyambo; umntu, enozukoolungaphezulu kunomthi, kumfanekiselo kaThixo; kwaye nokowamtyala emhlabeni, kwaye oko—oko kugqityiwe. Oonyanabakhe bayeza kuzila, kwaye akayiboni lonto. Owu akwabaUbonokundifihla engcwabeni, Ubonokundigcina endawenienqabileyo de ugqithe umsindoWakho. Wena Undibekele ixeshanendawo; endingenakuyigqitha.”120 Qwalasela ngoku, xa konke okukuxhwaleka kufika.Kwaye nabahlobo bakhe bamzela ngomhlana, bamtyholangokuba ngowona emfihlekweni. Umfazi wamlahla.Wonke umntu wamlahla. Wathi, “Umphefumlo wakhewawungongaqhelekanga emfazini wakhe.” Kunye nazo zonkeizinto ezenzekayo kuye! Kwaye kwakhangeleka ngathi uThixoumlahlile. Kwaye wayezakufa aze aye emhlabeni.121 UThixo wathetha naye, kangangohlobo lokuthi, “Yobhi,ngoku bhinqa izinqe zakho. Ndizakuthetha nawe.” Kwaye xaWathi, “Uyabona, umthi zange wona. I—intyatyambo zangeyona. Yayifezekisa injongo yaM. Ngoko ke yantshuliswa, enyeukuya kwenye, kwaye zange yone, ke iyavuka kwakhona. Kodwaumntu wona, ngoko ke uyanqanyulwa.”122 Ke, ngoko, uYobhi waqalisa ukumangala, waza wangenaekudakumbeni nje kanye ngoMarta wenzayo. Kwiyureyobumnyama, xa, yonke impembelelo yakhe, ingaba uyiphileelizeni? Uzakuthetha njani noYobhi Yena? Ungumprofeti.Uyakuthetha njani naye? Kumbono.123 Emva koko wakhangela phezulu, zaza iindudumo zagquma,imibane yatshawuza, waza weza uYesu. Emva koko wambonaYena kwimihla yokugqibela. Wathi, “Ndiyazi uMhlawuleliwam uhleli, kwaye ngemihla yokugqibela Úyakuma phezukwalo mhlaba. Nakubeni iimpethu zofele lwam ziwudlavuzilelo mzimba, kodwa enyameni yam ndiyakumbona uThixoendiyakumbona.” Iyure yobumnyama, emva koko uYesu uyeza.124 Ngoku, leyo yeyona Ncwadi indala eBhayibhileni. UYobhi,yayibhaliwe phambi kweGenesis ibhalwe, bayabanga.125 Qwalasela ngoku uMoses, kwiyure yakhe yobumnyama.Wayesazi. Unina wayemxelele indlela uYehova awamkhulisangayo, indlela awayezakuba ngumhlanguli wabantu. Kwayewayezamile ukuyenza ngendlela yasemkhosini yokuma,kuba wayeyindoda yomkhosi, wakhuliswa noFaro, waba yi—yinkokheli. Wayezakuba ngufaro olandelayo. Kwaye waphumawaya kuzama ukubahlangula bona ngesandla esisesakhe.

Kodwa uThixo akahlanguli njalo. UThixo uhlangulangesandla esiseSakhe.


126 Ke wabakrelekrele, wafunda, wafunda zonke i…wafumanaeyakhe iPh.D., neLL.D. kunye nazo zonke iiLL neeDD ezahambanayo, ndiyaqikelela. Ke wacinga, “Ndiyifumene ngenene ngoku.Ndisandula ukuphuma esikolweni sakwalizwi.” Ke waphumaphaya, waza wasilela.127 Emva koko uThixo wamthabathela phaya iminyakaengamashumi mane waza wakhuphela ngaphandle yonke lamfundo kuye, yabona, amashumi amane eminyaka. Ngokuuyindoda endala, amabhovu ajinga ehlela ngasesinqenisakhe, ukhuni esandleni sakhe, onke amathemba okuhlangulaabantu egqibile ukuphela. Alusizi amaHebhere ezantsi phaya,ehluphekile ngabo baqhubi babo, etywatyushwe imihlana,kunye—kunye nabombi bodaka eludakeni. Onke amathembaokuhlangula emkile. Kwaza emva koko ngenye imini, kwicalaelingasemva kwentlango, uYesu weza, iNtsika yoMlilo. Wathi,“NDINGUYE.”

Oko kokoWayekukoYena. Ngenye iminiWayethetha…128 Wathi, “Kutheni, Usithi Wena ‘wabona u-Abraham’?Kutheni,” wathi, “kutheni, Akukho nangaphezu kwamashumiamahlanu eminyaka ubudala. Kwaye uthi…Siyazi Uphambene.Une—Unedemoni.”

Wathi, “Phambi kokuba wayekho u-Abraham,NDINGUYE.”129 Ke, yayinguYesu owezayo, kwiNtsika yoMlilo, kwiyureyakhe eyona imnyama. Kwaye wehla, ngoko.130 Uyazi, xa uYesu ekufumana, ikwenza wenze izinto ezivakalaphambeneyo, ehlabathini. Ungafane ucinge laa ndoda indalaisihla isiya phaya ukuyakuthatha esasixeko, okanye elaa lizwe?Kwaye yayenza, inentonga egoso esandleni sayo, kodwa yonangokwayo yayisesandleni sikaThixo. Koko okwenza umahluko.131 Kulungile, masithethe ngesinye isimo nje ithutyana.Masithethe malunga noYayiro, eBhayibhileni, ngeentsukuzikaYesu. Yena, wayengolungileyo omncinci umfo. Wayeeli—elikholwa, ikholwa elizifihlayo. Bendiyakumbiza intoethile enjengekholwa lasemdeni, njengeentlola ezawelelangaphaya zangcamla izinto ezilungileyo zaza zabuyelaemva zathi ayinakwenzeka. Kodwa uYayiro wayelikholwalasemfihlakalweni. Wayeyikholelwa iNkosi uYesu, kubawayengumfo olungileyo. Mhlawumbi wayezifundisisile iincwadiezisongwayo, waza wabona apho uYesu wahlangabezana nazozonke eziyimfuneko, kwaye waye Engulamprofeti owayefaneleukuvuswa, ngokuka Moses. Kodwa wayengenakulenza uvumolwakhe, ngokuba, oko, nawuphi umntu owenza uvumolokuba babenaye uYe-…ebehamba noYesu, ke, kanye ngokobabesikwa. Kwaye waye engumbingeleli.132 Kodwa, uyazi, uThixo unendlela yokunyanzela into,ngamanye amaxesha, ukukwenza uyenze. Ke, uyazi,


wayenentombi encinci, umntwana wakhe okuphela kwakhe.Kwaye wagula kakhulu, baze babiza ugqirha. Waza ugqirhawenza konke anokwenza, yaza intwazana encinci yagulangakumbi. Ngoku ugqirha wambizela ngaphandle, wathi,“Yayiro, ndikuthiyile ukuxelela oku, Gqr. okanye Mfu. Yayiro.Kodwa uyazi intoni? Laa mntwana uzakufa. Kunga malunga njeneyure aphile.”Ndingafane ndicinge, bonke bephakuzela, kwayenabantu bemile kufuphi, belila. Kwaye bamlalisa emandlalweniomncinci, isofa encinci phaya, enjalo.Waza ngoko uYe-…133 Ndingambona uYayiro omncinci ejikeleza ukuya kufumanaumnqwazana wakhe omncinci wobulungiseleli, wazawawugungxa. Umfazi wakhe wathi, “Uyaphi?”134 “Uyazi, ndiyaqikelela inyanzelwe kum.” Emva kokowaphuma ngomnyango. Wathi, “Kuphi…” Umalusi wakhewayemi phaya, wathi, “Yayiro, uyaphi?”

“Uh, kuhle, ndiyacinga ndiyakukhe ndithabathe uhambo.”135 Uyazi, leyo yiyure yakhe yethinzi elikhulu. Apha kuzamntu othile phezulu endleleni, wathi, “Heyi, Yayiro! UyazinguBani osezantsi edokisini? UYesu waseNazarete, laa mprofeti,usandula ukufika.” Yayiyeyona yure yakhe inethinzi kakhulu,ngoko wasondela uYesu nje kwithinzi elimnyama leyure.Ndingambona egungxa lamnqwazana mncinci ebusweni bakhe,esihla ngendlela ngamandla kangangoko enako.136 Wathi, “Nkosi, yiza ubeke izandla Zakho phezu komntwanawam, kwaye uyakuphila.” Xa wayesendleleni yakhe ebuyelayo,into yokuqala uyazi, omnye othile wathi, “Sukumkhathaza Yena.U…Selefile. Ufe izolo, kwaye ulele ngoku.” Owu, kwaye u…Intliziyo yakhe encinci yayimalunga nokukrazuka.137 Ndingambona uYesu ejonga kuye, wathi, “Ingabaandikuxelelanga na, ‘Musa ukoyika kwaye uyakulubonauzuko lukaThixo’?” Ndiyayicinga intliziyo yakhe yabuyelaekubetheni kwakhona kakuhle. Wenyuka ngendlela, ejongeyonke intshukumo.Wafika endlini, bathi, “Owu, ufile.”

Wathi, “Akafanga. Ulele.”138 “Kuhle,” bathi, “ngoku thina…Sivile Wena ubuphambene;ngoku siyazi Unjalo.”139 Wathi, “Phumani, nonke nina bangakholwayo.Andinakwenza nto ngelixa nina bangakholwayo nihleliapha.” Wabakhuphela ngaphandle bonke. Emva koko wayangaphaya kumntwana, wathi, “Vuka, ntwazana,” waza wavuka.Isithinzikazi seyure, ukufa kwakugqibile kuntlithe ikhaya, wazauYesu wasondela.140 Ngoku siyaqwalasela, xa intwazana yakhe encinci yayigula,zange alinde, njengoNikodimo, udliwano ndlebe lwabucalaebusuku. Isidingo sasingoko. Kwafuneka enze into kanye ngoku.Okukwakunye kanye ngoku. Ukuba lakhe lakho ixesha ofuna


ukuphila, kanye ngoku lixesha. Sukulindela elinye ixesha. Elilixesha lokwenza into. Ewe, mhlekazi. Waba ngozilahleleyo,waza uYesu weza wambiza ekufeni.141 Oyimfama uBhartumeyi, esinye ngaphezulu isimiloesizakuthetha ngaso, nje okomzuzu. Ndingathanda ukuninikaibali ngobomi bakhe, indlela a—awaye eyiyo, indlela awayesenzangayo indlela yokuphila ngamahobe amancinci edlala.Kwaye ke, ngezo ntsuku, babenemvana eyayisakukhokelaumntu oyimfama, nje kanye benayo namhlanje inja ekhokelaoyimfama.142 Ke ngenye imini, ibali liyabaliswa malunga noBhartumeyi,okokuba, uYesu, phambi kokuba Aze embonisweni, kwayewayenentombi encinci eyayigula. Kwaye waxelela…waphumawakhala kwaye wathandaza eNkosini, wathi, “Nkosi, ukubaUno…ukuba nje Unokundinika obu bomi bale ntombi yamincinci! Andizange ndibenakho ukuyibona. Kodwa ukubanje Unokumenza aphile, ndiyaKuthembisa, ngomso, okokubandiyaKunika amavukuthu am amabini.” Oko koko wayenakoukonwabisa abantu ngako. Ke abangqibi abaninzi, kwakufaneleabe nento engaqhelekanga. Ke amabini amancinci amavukuthuayeyakudlala elinye phezu kwelinye. Ke wathi, kulungile,uya…Wanikezela, wanikeza umnikelo, ngokuba umntwanawaphila.143 Ubusuku obumbalwa emva koko, umfazi wagula.Wazawayangaphaya, ecaleni lendlu, wathi, “Nkosi, andinanto ingenyekodwa imvana yam encinci endikhokelayo.” Wathi, “UkubaUyakumenza aphile,” wathi, “Ndiya—ndiya—ndiyakuKunikalemvana.” Kwaye ke, kusuku olulandelayo, umfazi wakhewaphila.144 Ke nanku elapha, esihla. Waza wathi, umbingeleli wathi,“Uyaphi na wena, Bhartumeyi oyimfama?”145 Wathi, “Ndiyehla ukuyakunikela ngale mvana.” Wathi,“Umfazi wam; uYehova umphilisile umfazi wam.” Waza wathi,“Ndiyokunikela ngale mvana.”146 Wathi, “Akunakunikela ngala mvana, Bhartumeyi.” Wathi,“Laa mvana ngamehlo akho.”147 Wathi, “Kodwa ukuba Bhartumeyi uyakuthobelaisithembiso sakhe kuThixo, uThixo uyakubonelela imvanaukwenzela amehlo kaBhartumeyi.”148 Ngenye imini, weva isankxwe sisiza ngesixeko, abanyebabo bengxola, “Besithi, Wena mprofeti waseGalili,bandixelela ukuba Uvusa abafileyo.” Lowo yayingumbingeleli.“Sinamangcwaba agcwele bona phezulu apha. Nyuka uzekubavusa abanye babo. Bandixelela Uvusa abafileyo. MasiboneWena usiya, vusa omnye wabo. Abanye babantu abalungileyobalele phezulu phaya. MasiKubone ubavusa bona.” Abanye


bathi, “Ukuba Ungumprofeti, ndixelele yintoni endiyenzileyoizolo.”149 Abanye babo bathi, “Uzuko kuThixo enyangweni! Vulelaniumtyhi uKumkani kaSirayeli.”150 Zonke intlobo zeenkcuku, namakhulu abo. Ngoku, ukubauyakuya, ukhe waya eYeriko, uphawule apho wayehleli khona,wayemalunga namakhulu amabini omgama ukusuka aphobaphuma khona esangweni. Ngoku, akukho ntandabuzo, abantubethontelana phezu kwakhe. Kwaye ohluphekileyo omdala umfoehleli phaya emoyeni, nokungcangcazela, nemirhaji imsongele.Kwaye kungekho mvana yakumkhokela, kungekho—kungekhonamahobe. Kwaye mhlawumbi wayengenamafutha ukwenzelaubusika, kwaye i…mhlawumbi kwakumalunga no Oktobha,kwaye kubanda. Kwaye nako ehleli, kula meko. Kwaye wa…Elinye elilungileyo inenekazi makube lathi kuye, xa…151 Wathi, “Ubani? Imalunga nantoni yonke ingxolo?” Uyazi,kukho into engaqhelekanga. Apho akhoyo uYesu, kusolokokukho ingxolo eninzi. Ehe. Kunjalo. Wathi, “Imalunga nantoniyonke ingxolo?” Kulungile, bathi…152 Eli nenekazi lilungileyo, kufanele makube lalingumlandelikaYesu. Lathi, “Uyazi, nguYesu waseNazarete.”

“Kuhle, ngubani uYesu waseNazarete?”153 “Kuhle, uyazi, iSibhalo sitsho ukuba iNkosi uThixoizakuvusa umprofeti.”

“Owu, ewe! Uthetha uNyana kaDavide? IngabaUsemhlabeni?”

“Ndimbonile Yena esenza kanye ngokuchanekileyo.UliLizwi. Injalo ngqo lonto.”154 Wamemeza, “Owu, Yesu, yiba…Owu, Yesu, NyanakaDavide, yiba nenceba kum!” Ngoku, wayesazi. Wayegqibileukugqitha. Wayesazi ukuba umemezo lwakhe lwangokwenyamalwalungenakuviwa. Kodwa wazi, ukuba waye EliLizwi, kwayeeNgulaMesiya, kwakufanele Abe ngumprofeti, kuba uMesiyawayengumprofeti. Kwaye wayesazi ukuba unokuba…ukhololwakhe kuThixo. Hayi intandabuzo kodwa oko wakumemezayo,“Yehova, yiba nenceba kum! Yiba nenceba! Ngoku mandimenzeame Yena.” Waza wamemeza, “Wena Nyana kaDavide, yibanenceba phezu kwam!” Mhlawumbi, konke ukumemeza,Wayengenakho ukuluva. Kodwa ukholo lwakhe lwaMmisa.UYesu watsho njalo.155 “Waza uYesu wema ngxi.” Ndifuna ukushumayela koko,mhlawumbi, ngelinye ixesha, imini. “Kwaye ngoko uYesuwema ngxi.”156 Kwaye wema Yena ngxi. Wabhekabheka. Waza Wathi,“Ukholo lwakho lukuphilisile.” Kula yure ilithinzi kakhulu,ngoko uYesu wasondela.


157 Intsasa nje phambi koko, kwakukho i…xa Wa…intsasakanye phambi kokuba Angene, ephuma ngesango ngalamvakwemini. Wayeze esixekweni, kwakukho indoda phayaegama linguZakeyu. Kwaye yayingusomashishini wesixeko.Kwaye umfazi wayo, uRebheka, waye e—engumfazi olungileyo,ikholwa kwiNkosi uYesu.158 Kodwa wayengakholwa, yena buqu, kuba urabhiwayemxelele, “Akukho baprofeti. Asinabaprofeti. Eliya ligqubalobuvuvu. Ungayikholelwa into enjeya. Uyechubeke kakhuluelungileyo indoda; ishishini lakho apha. Kutheni, ungaze uyenzelanto. Jonga ukuma kwakho ecaweni.”159 Kwaye ke wayemxelele uRebheka, wathi, “Owu, kukhoubuvuvu. Akukho nto injengomprofeti.”160 Kodwa, uyazi, uRebheka wayethandazile; de intliziyo yakheencinci yayimalunga nokukrazuka. Wayefuna ukuzibonelangokwakhe. Ke wayesazi ukuba Wayezakuba sesixekweni ngalamini. Ke uyazi awakwenzayo? Wayemfutshane ngesithomo,ke wayengenakho u—ukumbona Yena xa Egqitha, ngenxayesihlwele. Ke wathi, “Ndiyakufumanisa ukuba Ungumprofetina okanye hayi. Ukuba ndiMjonga ebusweni, ndiyakukuxelelaukuba Ujongeka hlukileyo kwenye nayiphi indoda.” Kewakhwela phezulu emthini, waza watsalela onke amagqabikuye, nezinto, wahlala phaya. Waze wathi, “Ngoku, uyazi, xaEgqitha, ndizakuMbona.”161 Ke njengoko Ejikela idolo, ehamba ngoluhlobo, esihlangestrato, wafika kanye phantsi komthi. Waza Wema, wajongaphezulu, wathi, “Zakeyu, yehla. Ndiyagoduka nawe.” Owu,iyure yethinzi lakhe elikhulu. Ingabawaye Engumprofeti okanyewaye Engenguye umprofeti? Kwiyure yethinzi elikhulu, uYesuuyasondela.Wayesazi ukuba yayingubani. “Zakeyu, yehla.”162 UZakeyu wathi, “Ukuba ndenze nantoni engalunganga,ndiyakuyihlawula. Ndiyakwenza nantoni na.”Wayeqondisisekile. UYesu wasondela.163 Umfazi onethombe legazi wahamba, iBhayibhile yathi,“Wachitha yonke imali yakhe koogqirha. Akukho namnyekubo owayenokumnceda.” Akukho ntandabuzo, oogqirhabazama kanzima, kodwa basilela. Babengenakho ukumnceda.Wayenalo elithombe legazi iminyaka ngeminyaka, mhlawumbiukusukela ekuyekeni ukuya exesheni. Kwaye waye engumfaziomdala ngoku, eqhubekeka nje. Engenakuyenza. Owu, waye…Wayesekuzilahleleni. Ngokuba, akukho ntandabuzo, ngalaantsasa xa omncinci—omncinci umkhonjana utyhalekelaekudlikidlweni ezantsi phaya, umntu othile…Wayehlalaphezulu endulini, ngasentla. Mhlawumbi umyeni wakhewayesele wawathengisa amahashe, kunye—kunye nefamabebambise ngayo, nento yonke, ezama ukwenza lomfazana


wakhe mncinci aphile. Kwaye hayi…Wayevile malunga naYe.Wathi, “Ngubani lowa usezantsi phaya?”

Wathi, “Lowa ngulaamprofeti wase Galili.”164 Wathi entliziyweni yakhe, akukho Sibhalo ngayo,“NdiyaMkholelwa. Kwaye ukuba nje ndingachukumisalaa ngubo yalaNdoda ililungisa, ndiyakuphiliswa.” Hmm!Ukuba wayenokwenza okuya ngaphandle kwesithembisoseSibhalo, kufanele thina senze ntoni ngesithembiso seSibhalo?Watyhilizela phambili.165 Kwakukho umalusi, bonke babo, bemile phaya ukumgxekaumfazi, behlekisa ngoYesu kwaye bezama ukuMenza awushiyeumhlaba. Babengafuni abantu babo bonke baphazamisekeezingcingeni. Babengenakho ukusebenzisana emhlanganweni.Kwakungekho nto babenokuyenza.166 Kodwa Weza ngapha ukuza kuba nomhlangano, nakanjani.Yabona? Kwaye ke Wayezakuba nawo, nakanjani. Kesiyafumanisa, kwakukho ababini okanye abathathu phayaabanokumnceda Yena, ke bamwelisa Yena umlambo, nakanjani.Ke ngoko siyafumana, okokuba kwi…njengoko Waqalisaukuhamba.167 Lo mfazi mncinci, wathi, “Kulungile, enjalo iNdoda ukubanjeya, ebaluleke kakhulu, ndingongabalulekanga kakhulukuYo.”168 Kwaye abaninzi, abanye babo baqalisa ukuthi, “Uh, ndazisekuYe, ngokuba ndi—ndifuna ukwazi ukuba Ngumprofeti okanyehayi.” “Uh, ke, kuhle, ndazise, Simon,” ubani-bani. Wonkeumntu, “Eweke, Rabhi! Kutheni, bathi Ungumprofeti.”169 “Ehe. Ehe. Enkosi, mhlekazi. INkosi ikusikele.” Qhubeka,ngalo olohlobo, njengokoWahambawaqhubeka.170 Into yokuqala, lo mfazi mncinci waqhubeka ezicudisaphakathi kwalo madoda, nangokujikela, wade wachukumisaingubo Yakhe ngoku. Ingubo yasePalestina iyawunduza;ino m—mphakathi wengubo, nawo, ukugcinela uthuli kudeemilenzeni. Kwaye Ebengayi kuva oko ngokwasenyameni.Ngoko, wamchukumisa Yena. Oko koko wayefuna ngqoukukwenza.Wabuyela emvawazawahlala phantsi.171 Leyo yayiyure yakhe yethinzi elikhulu, yonke imaliyayiphelile, yonke into engenye, waza wasondela uYesu. UYesuwaguquka wathi, “Ngubani oNdichukumisileyo?” Wajongaphandle phaya, kwaye nanko wayelapho. Wathi, “Ukhololwakho lukusindisile.”172 Umfazi omncinci equleni ngokwasekuziphatheni,wayengenakuba mbi ngakumbi. Wayene…Wayesandulaukuthatha owesithandathu umyeni wakhe, kengokwasekuziphatheni wayengenakuba ngakumbi. Iyure yakheyethinzi elikhulu, akukho ntandabuzo, ukunyukela phezulu


phaya aze athi, “Olunjani udwayinge endilulo! Ndingomtsha,umfazi omhle, kodwa ndiyaqalisa ukuguga nje kancinci.Ndifikelela kumashumi amabini am ngoku, ke eyam…andinakuqhubeka…”173 Ngoku khumbula nje, dade, xa ushiya laa mashumi amabini,xa ushiya laa mashumi amabini anesibini eminyaka, uyasilela,akukhathaliseki nokuba ucinga akunjalo, okanye hayi. Unjalo.Ehe. Uyasilela. Yonke indoda injalo, nayo. Wena, xa ufikamalunga…uya…174 Yilonto endayibuzayo kumhlangano waseKiwanis ngaxeshalithile. Ndathi, “Ndixelele injani, eyokuba, xa ndisitya ukutya,kwenza iiseli zegazi kunye nam ndibe mkhulu ndomelele. Xandandineshumi elinesithandathu iminyaka ubudala, nditya intoekwanye endiyityayo kanye ngoku. Ndiba mkhulu ndomelelelonke ixesha. Ngoku, ukusukela ekugqitheni amashumi amabinianesibini, akukhathaliseki nditya kangakanani, ndizikhathalelekangakanani, ndiba buthathaka namdala. Kutheni injalo,ukuba ndihlaziya ubomi bam ngoku, ingaba iyakuba koko…?Lonke ixesha ndisitya, ndihlaziya ubomi bam, kuba ndifakaiiseli zegazi ngaphakathi. Kutheni zingasayi kundakha ngokunjengoko bezisenza ngoko?” Akunakho ngokwenzululwaziukuyiqondakalisa, ukuba ufanele uyenze.175 Lidinga uThixo alenzileyo. Kwaye uzakuhlangana nalo,nawe. Khumbula nje oko. Uza kulo. Galela amanzi uwakhupheemphandeni, uwase egilasini, iba sisiqingatha ukuzala, kwayeemva koko ukhawulezise ukuwagalela ayehla; ndixelele ayaphi kwaye kwenzeka ntoni. Yabona? Kungokuba uThixo wenzeidinga.176 Kwaye lo mfazi mncinci, wazi ukuba imihla yakheyayimalunga nokugqitywa ngoko. Umsebenzi wakheuyakonakaliswa. Ke wayecinga malunga, “Ndiyakwenza ntoni?Kodwa,” wathi, “uyazi, ndasoloko ndacinga ukuba ngenye iminikunokubakho uMesiya aze.” Wenyukela phaya, iqula. Kusolokokuxa ucinga malunga naYe, xa Esondela. Yabona? Kwaye kewenyukela phaya; ithinzi. Bonke abafazi babemkile. Kwayewayengoziphethe kakubi, engenakuthetha nabo, okanye nanto.Enamagwegwe, kwayewehlisa isijijo.Wazawaqalisa…

Wava uMntu esithi, “Hamba uye kubiza umyeni wakhouze apha.”

Wathi, “Andinamyeni.”177 Wathi, “Injalo lonto. Ubunamahlanu, kwaye nale uhlalanayo ngoku asiyoyakho.”178 Waza waba sekuzilahleleni. Wathi, “Mhlekazi, ndiyabonaukubaUngumprofeti. Ndiyazi ukuba xa uMesiya efika, oko kokoAyakukwenza.”

Wathi, “NdinguYe.”


179 Owu, abafundi babephezulu elwandle, ngobunye ubusuku,kwaye onke amathemba emkile. Mhlawumbi uhleli apha,ngobubusuku, kule ndlela inye, onke amathemba amkile.Umkhonjana wabowawuzele ngamanzi nayo yonke into. Kwaye,uYesu, bemka ngaphandle Kwakhe.180 Kwaye xa bakhalayo bekhwaza, kwaye bemangalisiweyintoni eyayizakwenzeka, yintoni eyenzekayo elandelayo?Bambona Yena esiza ehamba phezu kolwandle. Uyazi intoni?Babemoyika Yena. Yakhangeleka okwesiporho, yakhangelekaokwethile ethile engathi ingaba luhlobo lobumoya okanyeinto ethile. Yabona? Naku kusiza uMntu ehamba phaya, njengesithunzi emanzini, baza baqalisa ukukhala. Kuphela kwentoeyayinokubanceda, kwaye ngoko babeYoyika.181 Ukuba oko asiyiyo ngokuchaneke ngqo indlela ekuyiyonamhlanje, bayaWoyika wona, bayaWoyika.182 Kodwa kwenzeka ntoni? Nje kwiyure ekoyikeni kwabo,iZwi leza, lathi, “Musani ukoyika. NdiM.” Emva koko, uYesuwasondela. Owu, bethu! uYesu wasondela. “Musani ukoyika.NdiM.”183 Ngoku, uYesu nguye izolo, namhlanje, naphakade. Andazi,ngobubusuku…Ndifanele ndishiyelele omnye umxholo wamapha. Kodwa andazi, ngobubusuku, ukuba thina, kule yure…UMfundisi uzile njengoko Ethembisile, kwaye ubiza abantwanaBakhe abakholwayo ukuba baMqonde eLizwini Lakhe,elibonakalisa Lona. Andazi nokuba uYesu uzile kuthi. Lena yi—lena yiyure elithinzi kakhulu ibandla elakhe layibona.184 Ngoku, uyazi intoni? Lonke ibandla, kwamsinya,lizakufanele libe leleliya—eliya Qumrhu lamaBandla Ehlabathi.Kwaye xa uyenza, uyakuphulukana namalungelo obuvangelibakho xa usenza oko. Kwaye ukuba akuyenzi, ngoko akunakubalihlelo tu. Kuba, lonke ihlelo kufanele lize kulo. Nifundilengayo, nje ngohlobo olunye njengoko ndenzayo. Yiyure elithinzikakhulu ibandla elincinci elakhe lanayo. Yonke into iphumilengenxa yayo. BakwaMoya, owu, zivuseni!185 Kwaye kanye kuleyure yethinzi elikhulu, ngoko nako kusizauYesu, ukuzakungqinela ukuba Unawe. Ulapha, yabona, iyureelithinzi kakhulu.186 Ndivile ibali elincinci, kundithatha nje umzuzu ukulibalisa.Umfazi wa—wabizwa, unosithili weza ukuza kumbona, kubawayebethekile kukuhlupheka. Wayenonyana, kwaye wayemkilewaya e-Indiya kwixesha eladlulayo. Kwaye yena, olungekakhulu umhlobo, kwaye inkwenkwe elungileyo. Kwaye keumfazi waba njalo nje, engenakutya nento yonke, de unosithilieze kuphanda, ukwenzela yena ukutya kukanosithili. Kwaye xababelapho, yathi indoda, “Kuhle, akunabo na abakuthandayobakuncede?”

Wathi, “Owu, ndinonyana.”


Wathi, “Wenza ntoni?”Wathi, “Owu, uyi—i—injineli yombane e-India.”“Kuhle, usebenzela bani?”Wathi, “Urhulumente we United States.”“Kutheni,” wathi, “engakuncedi?”Wathi, “Kuhle,” wathi, “a—akandincedi. Kodwa…”

187 Wathi, “Kuhle, ke kutheni ungamceli endaweni yokubizaunosithili?”188 Wathi, “Uyelunge kakhulu inkwenkwe. Undibhalela ezakhezamnandi iileta.” Waza wathi, “Uyazi, ndiyamthanda, keandinakumxelela ukuba ndi—ndinesidingo ngolu hlobo.”189 Bathi, “U—ukubhalela iileta, kwaye uyeva kuye, nentoyonke?”

“Ewe.”“Kwaye futhi akakuncedi?”

190 Wathi, “Hayi.” Wathi, “Kodwa undithumela eminye eyakheyamihle imifanekiso endakhe ndayibona ebomini bam.” Kwayewathi…

Ke yathi indoda, “Makhe ndiyibone eminye yalemifanekiso.”191 Wathi, “Kulungile, mhlekazi. Ndinayo kanye aphaeBhayibhileni.” Kwaye wayivula, waza waqalisa ukuyizisa.Uyazi yayiyintoni? Ii-odolo zemali esuka e-India, enemifanekiso.Yayinemifanekiso yonke, uyabona, ii-odolo zemali.Wayenamawaka eedola, kodwa nje wayengazi ukubawayexabisekile. Yayifihliwe yonke eBhayibhileni.192 Andazi, ngobubusuku, ukuba uYesu akayi kutyhilakuthi oko kufihlwe kuleBhayibhile, enzele thina. Sityebileelubabalweni Lwakhe nakwinceba Yakhe. Andazi nokubauyakuza asibize. Masijonge ngeBhayibhile size sibone okosinako kuYe, ngelixa sithobisa iintloko zethu nje ithutyana.193 Bawo waseZulwini, yenza inceba Yakho…Ulapha, Bawo.Kutheni, nje ndisezigqondweni ngako oko. Kutheni, Uthe,“Naphina ababini okanye abathathu behlangene eGameni laM,Ndiyakubalapho phakathi kwabo.” Ngoku, oko, “Amazulunomhlaba ayakugqitha, kodwa Oko akusokuze.” Sincede,ngobubusuku, ngoku, njengoko sithandazela aba bagulayoabantu, ngale mizuzu imbalwa ilandelayo. ZenzeWaziwe, Nkosi.Yesu, yiza ubize abagulayo, (Ungayenza?) okokuba babenokwaziukuba Wena—Wena ungokhoyo ndawo-zonke uThixo. Ulapha,onguye izolo, namhlanje, naphakade. NgeGama likaYesu,ndiyathandaza. Amen.194 Zihlobo, nje umzuzu okanye emibini de kuyakube ngenenelixesha lokunqumamisa, kodwa masibize nje umgca omncinci


wokuthandazela. Ningathanda ukuba nawo? Phakamisaniisandla senu, ukuba ni—ningathanda ukuhlala eminye elishumi,ishumi elinesihlanu lemizuzu. Kulungile. UThixo anisikelele.Nje—nje…Ingaba kulungile kubasindleki phaya, kulungilekuthi ukuba nokuya? Enkosi, kakhulu.195 Ngoku, uphi uBilly? Mangaphi amakhadi owakhuphileyo? A,B, C. Besinantoni kuqala, oo-A?

Makuthi oko…Yimani nje phaya, kanyengokukhawuleza. Yiba nje ne…201 Ngoku, bangathi abanye benu bahlale nje ngokuzola,ngentlonipho? Sanukushukuma ngoku. Mabathi abo, abathe njebabizwa.202 Amashumi asixhenxe anesithoba, amashumi asibhozo.Amashumi asibhozo ukuya kumashumi asibhozo anesihlanu.Ikhangeleka ngathi abana…Mhlawumbi amanye awongamakhadi ebenikezwe isine okanye isihlanu sobusukuobugqithileyo.

Kuyakulunga oko, nje umzuzu ngoku.203 Ngoku bangaphi, nonke kuni phaya, aba…abakholelwaekubeni—ekubeni banokwenza njengalaa mfazi mncinciwenzayo, ukuchukumisa umqukumbelo wengubo Yakhe?Phakamisa isandla sakho, uthi, “Ndi—ndi—ndi—ndiyakholwa.Ndiyakholwa ngenene ndingachukumisa umqukumbelowengubo Yakhe.”204 Ngoku uMfundisi ufikile.

Kholwani ngentliziyo yenu yonke ngokuokokuba uMfundisi ufikile kwaye uyakubiza.205 Ngoku, njengoko umgca wokuthandazela usenzeka ezantsiphaya, ndicinga abanye babazalwana bayanceda ukwenzaumgca wokuthandazelwa ume kakuhle nge—ngendlela abayiyokumanani abo. Ngoku wonke ubani unekhadi. I…Mangaphingaphezulu amakhadi akhoyo apha? Masibone izandla zenu.Wagcineni. Sizakuthandazela wonke ubani kubo. Andikhathalinokuba ngubani, si…Ukuba iNkosi indivumele ndaphila,ndizakuthandazela wonke ubani phambi kokuba ndimkengeCawa.206 Ngoku khumbulani, kukho isidlo sakusasa sabalungiselelikusasa. Kwaye ingaba nisibhengezile, siphi? Besibhengeziwe.Kulungile. Ntoleyo, ukuba ninakho, yihlani. Iyakuba…ndiyacinga ndifanele ndithethe, ngentseni kusasa phaya? [Othileuthi, “Ewe, isidlo sakusasa.”—Mhl.] Kulungile. Kuhle. Kuhle.Kulungile.207 Kutheni, uthi, “Zange ndakuva”? Ndibize malunga,ndicinga, ishumi elinesihlanu. Amashumi asixhenxeanesihlanu, amashumi asibhozo, amashumi asibhozoanesihlanu, amashumi asithoba, into enjengaleyo. Oko…Okokuyakuba kokulungileyo. Nje ngohlobo…Kulungile. Qalisaukubathumela phezulu. Ukuba ujongile, ngoku leyo yi…Yabona?208 Ngoku, wonke umntu ahloniphe kakhulu. Ngoku, ngokuphulaphulani. Ndiyazi ukuba nifanele niye emsebenzini kusasa.Umsebenzi wenu ubalulekile. Ndiyakwazi oko. Abantwanabenu balinde nina. Abagcini babantwana; uthe uyakuhambangecala emva kweyesithoba. Kodwa masilinde nje.

Ngoku,ukuba le Bhayibhile ikuthembisile oku, uThixo uyakwenza, leyoyeyona nto ibalulekileyo endinokucinga ngayo. Yabona?

Beka isitulo khona ngaphaya, kunye nobuxhakaxhakaobukhalayo, kwaye oko koko obekusenza langxolo.


209 Ngoku jonga. Ngoku, khumbulani, makathi wonke umntuaphumle ngokuqinisekileyo ngoku. Ndiyathemba andinenzanganathabathekela ekucingeni ukuba ndiluhlobo oluthile lonqulo-mntu okanye into ethile, okokuba ndiyakuba ngulaa Mntu,iNkosi uYesu. Anikukholelwa oko, aninjalo? Ngokuqinisekileyoaninjalo. Ndisisicaka Sakhe. Ndingumoni othe wasindiswangobabalo. Kodwa, koku, iyure ifikile apho atheWanika isipho.210 Ndibe novavanyo nje kamsinya, xa igquba loogqirhabamayeza bandithabathele phantsi kokwaziswa,ukundivavanya, ukwenzela uvavanyo lwamaza. Kwaye niyazioko baphuma bandixelela kona?211 Bathi, “Andizange ndakubona oko ebomini bam.” Wathi,“Uyazi, wena u…” Wathi, “Umntu, okokuba xa izimvo zakhoezintlanu zokuba u…umzimba ulawulwa khona.” Wathi,“Ngoku, ngoku, eyakho…” Wathi, “Leyo yingqondo yakhoyokuqala ephaphamileyo, yokuqala. Uphila kuyo. Kodwaxa izimvo zakho ezintlanu ziba se—sekungasebenzini, ngokouba sekungaphaphamini. Oko kukude lee kuwe. Kufaneleukuba ufile kule mvakalelo okanye nantoni apha, njengokoubuyela emva uphuma apha ukuya koku kungaphaphamikwaye uyaphupha.” Wathi, “Kukho inxalenye yakho ethiiye ndaweni ithile. Kwaye wena, xa uvuka, ubuyela kokukuphaphama kwakhona, uyothukela emva apha, uyakhumbulaoko ukuphuphileyo.”212 Bangaphi abakhe banephupha? Ngokuqinisekileyo,iminyaka eyagqithayo, nonke kuni. Kuhle, kukho ezinye indawozakho ndaweni ithile, kuba usayikhumbula engcingeni yakho.Ingaba kunjalo? Ke oko beku kukungaphaphami kwakho.213 Wathi, “Oko kokuqhelekileyo. Kodwa,” wathi, “Mfu.Branham,” wathi, “amashumi amawaka aphindwe ngamawakaabantu esakhe sabavavanya, asizange sifumane uhlobo olunjengawe.”

Ndathi, “Ingaba ndiphambene?”214 Wathi, “Andicingi abantu basuka ngaphaya kulo lonkeihlabathi, ukuza kuthetha nomntu ophambeneyo.”

Kwaye ndathi, “Kulungile, ingaba ndinjalo? Ndiyazindiphakuphaku.”215 Wathi, “Hayi ngaphezulu kunomnye umlungiseleli okanyeugqirha, nabani osebenzisana noluntu.”

Ndathi, “Yintoni engaqhelekanga?”216 Wathi, “Uyazi intoni? Iingqondo zakho ezimbinizokuphaphama zime kanye ngqo ngokuhlangeneyo.” Wathi,“Ungaphupha iphupha ngelixa amehlo akho evuliwe.” Yabona?

Wayengazi oko wayekuko, kumalunga nantoni. Ndathi,“Ingaba injalo?”


217 Wathi, “Ehe. Akusayi kufanele uye kulala ukuze uphupheiphupha.”218 Ndathi, “Gqirha, ingaba wakhe wafunda kwi…malunganombono? Uyazi yintoni umbono?”

Wathi, “Ingaba leyo yintetho yeBhayibhile, Mnu.Branham?”

Ndathi, “Ewe.”219 Wathi, “Kuhle, andazi kwanto malunga neBhayibhile.”Wathi, “Bendingenakwazi oko uthethamalunga nako.”

Ndathi, “Ingabawakhewayifunda iBhayibhile?”Wathi, “Ehe.”“Funda emva eBhayibhileni malunga nabaprofeti bakudala

beNdala?”“Owu,” wathi, “oko! Intoni? Babebona kwantlandlolo

izinto?”“Ehe.” Ndathi, “Oko kwenzeka kum,mhlekazi.”

220 Wathi, “Oko, ndiyavuya wena…Oko kwayigqiba. Kuhle,yilonto, yabona.” Wathi, “Niyazi intoni? Nifanele—nifaneleniye ngaphakathi nisivumele sikuxilonge oku.” Wathi, “Okukuyakuba lolukhulu uphando lwenzululwazi.”

Ndathi, “Linda umzuzu, gqirha.Wakhewanalo iphupha?”Wathi, “Ewe.”

221 Ndathi, “Ke ndiphuphele iphupha. Ndixeleleokuzakwenzeka ngomso. Akunakuyenza ukuba kufanele uyenze.Yabona? Nokuba ngubani okwenze waba nelaa phupha kufaneleayenze.”222 “Nam andinakubona mbono. Kufanele ibe nguYe ovumelaimibono. Andinakuyibona de Yena andixelele. Andaziemandikutsho de Yena andixelele mandikutsho. Kodwasisipho, uyabona, endazalwa naso. Into yokuqala endakhendayikhumbula ebomini bam kukubona umbono. Kwaye nalinyeixesha eyakhe ayabi yiyo.” Yabona? Yeyakho—yakho…Esosisizathu obona abantu…223 Sinokuninzi ukulinganisa. Oko kuchanekile kanye. Kodwasiyakusoloko sinako oko. Ngokuqinisekileyo.224 Ndifunde ibali likaMartin Luther, kumaLutere enu. ImbalikaMartin Luther yathi, “Kwakungeyonto ingaqhelekangaeyokuba uMartin Luther wayenokuchasa ibandla iKatolikaaze asinde ngalonto; kodwa wayenokuphakamisa intloko yakhengaphezulu kobaxeko olwalulandela imvuselelo yakhe, kwayeahlale engcwengile ngeSibhalo.” Yilonto. Ehe.225 Oko akunanto yakwenza nabo. Unoxanduva phambikoThixo…Kuba, yabona, sisipho nje. Yabona? Uziwiselangapha, kuze emva koko iNkosi ithethe.


226 Ngoku, apha. Apha, ingaba lona ngumfazi? Ngoku,apha, oku kufanele kuyibonakalise, ngoku, ukuba wonkeubani uyakuhlonipha ngenene, nje imizuzu embalwa. Ingabangoqalayo ukuza apha. Ngoku nanku u—umfazi osemtsha,a—andizange ndambona ebomini bam. Ungongaziwayo ndim.Andimazi.227 Kodwa apha siyahlangana, nje ngoYohane oNgcwele 11…bendiphaya, ngobubusuku, yabona, xa…uYohane oNgcwele4, ndithetha oko, apho uYesu wahlangana nomfazi equleni.Bendithetha malunga naye. Wayenokuba wayemtsha kakhulukunaYe. Kwaye Yena wamxelela apho yayikho ingxaki yakhe.Kwaye ngalonto, wathi, “Ngoku, Mhlekazi, Wena, ndiyaqondaukuba Unguye umprofeti.”228 Ngoku, yabona, umprofeti ngulowo iLizwi likaThixo elizakuye. Isiprofeto salamhla, iLizwi ekufuneka lizalisekisiwe kulamhla, liza kula ndoda, kwaye Yona ilela Lizwi liphilayolalamhla.229 Wathi, “Ndiyaqonda ukuba Wena ungumprofeti. Ngokusilinde lamprofeti.” Ukuba uyakusa olangqamaniso emva, likusakanye emva ku—kulamprofeti. Wathi, “Siyazi xa uMesiya efika,oko koko Ayakwenza. Úyakusibikela ezo zinto.”

Wathi, “NdinguYe, lowo uthetha naye.”230 Kwaye wahamba wathi “Yiza, ubone iNdoda endixeleleizinto endizenzileyo. Ingabi lo asingoMesiya?” Kwaye bonkeabantu bayikholelwa.231 Ngoku, Wathembisa oko, “Imisebenzi Ayenzayo, amakholwaayakuyenza nawo.” Kwaye ngoku, kule mihla yokugqibela,ungqinisisile uKuza Kwakhe okukufutshane ngayo, xa EzityhileYena kwindlela enye njengokoWenzayo eSodom.232 Ingaba beniphulaphule kwiMiyalezo kule veki?Niyakukholelwa oko ukuba yiNyaniso? [Udade uthi, “Ewe.”—Mhl.] Ngoku, thina ekubeni singazani omnye komnye, injalolonto, ingaba injalo? [“Ewe.”] Nje ukuze abantu babone,phakamisa isandla sakho, ukuze abantu babone.233 Andizange ndimbone umfazi, ebomini bam. Andazingokungaphezulu malunga naye kunayo nantoni. Yabona?Ungumfazi nje osemtsha, umtsha kakhulu kunam. Sizalwekwiminyaka emininzi ngokwahlukileyo, iimayile ukwahlukana,kwaye apha siyahlangana, ixesha lokuqala. Apha simi kunyeapha, abantu jikelele, izikhanyiso, yonke into engenye. Simiapha ebuKhoneni bukaThixo. Kwaye ndithetha nani, ukuzendifumanise, kuqala, ukuba laa ntambiso iyakuza phezukwam. Kwaye ukuba iyenzeka, ngoko ndiyakukwazi ukuyenza.Ngaphandle koKuya, andinakuyenza. Ngoku, kuphela kwentoendiyenzayo kukuthandaza nje ndize ndibeke izandla kuni,njengomalusi wenu eyakwenza, okanye nabani eyakuba nguye,ndize ndiqhubeke. Yabona? Sisipho. Ndizifumanela, oko nje


ndikwaziyo, ukuphumla kuSo. Kodwa, ngoko, andinakusenzaSona size. Kufanele Yena eze. Kufanele Sona size, ngoKwaso.234 Ngoku nje yibani ngabahloniphayo. Ilapha. Ngoku, eGamenilikaYesu Kristu, ndithabathela wonke umoya ngaphakathiapha phantsi kolawulo lwam, ukwenzela uzuko lukaThixo.Ngoku hlalani ngokuzola. Ukuba nantoni iyenzeka, ndiyakubanakho ukuyilawula, ukuba nje anixhumi kwaye niqalisaukuqhubeka. Hlala uzole. Ukuxhuzula nezinto ngamanyeamaxesha zingena emhlanganweni zize ziyaluzelise iqelalabo, ngolwa hlobo. Bangaphi abakubonile okuya njengokokusenzeka emhlanganweni wam? Ngokuqinisekileyo. Yabona?Ngokuqinisekileyo. Kodwa hlalani nje nizole. Ndim onoxanduvalokuya. Kodwa ukuba unenkani, asiloxanduva lwam, kuba esosisohlwayo.235 Ngoku, andinazo ezinye izimvo yintoni alapha ngazo lamfazi. Ngoku, uyazi ngoko ngoku, ngeli xesha, okokuba intoethile iyaqhubeka. Yabona? Kuba, kanye phakathi kwakhe nam,uyaqalisa nje ukunyamalala. KokwaKukhanya kuyangena.236 Ngoku, umfazi ngenene, eyona nto yakhe alapha ngayo,umele umntu othile. Unomntu a—athandazela yena. Kwayelowo ngu—ngu—ngu—ngumntu ombi kakhulu, kubuphakuphakubokwahluleka. Ngudade wabo. Injalo lonto. Injalo lonto,phakamisa izandla zakho. Unobuphakuphaku bokoyisakala.Ngoku jonga.237 Ke abantu bathi, “Ndiyacinga ukuqikelele nje okuya.” Hayi,hayi. Yabona? Zange kuqikelelwe.238 Ngoku qaphela. Ungumntu olunge kakhulu, umoyaolungileyo. Ngoku nje ithutyana. Ngoku jonga kum. Kwaye kokouPetros noYohane bakutshoyo, esangweni, “Ngoku jonga kum.”Yabona? Kubonakala kukho nto yimbi engenye entliziyweniyakho. Ewe. Uhluphekile, wena buqu, ngohlobo lesiyezi,njengoko usifumana. Unayo lonto. Injalo lonto.239 Unokuthile entliziyweni yakho, ofuna ukwazi ngako, kwayeoko kumalunga nalamzalwana. Usesibhendlela apha. [Udadeuthi, “Ewe.”—Mhl.] Ufuna mna ndikuxelele kwenzeke njaniukuba abe phaya? Wayekwingozi yemoto. Injalo lonto. Huh!Ingaba uyakholwa ukufumene oko ukucelileyo? Ngoko hambangendlela yakho. Igqithile, ngoko. Yabona?

“Ukuba ningakholwa, zonke izinto zinokwenzeka.”240 Unjani, nenekazi? Ngoku, ingaba uyakholwa ukuba uYesuKristu nguNyana kaThixo, okwanguye izolo, namhlanje,naphakade? [Udade uthi, “Ndenza njalo.”—Mhl.] UkubaÚyakutyhila kum yintoni ingxaki yakho, uyakukholwa okokubaAngakwenza oko? [“Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyakwenza.”]Kulungile. Ngoku wanga Angakunikeza oko.

Nkosi Yesu, esi sihlwele seSakho. Sisemva kwexesha,Nkosi.Kodwa ungandedluli, Owu Msindisiolungileyo,

Yiva ukukhala kwam ngokuzithoba;Xa Ubabiza abanye,Ungandedluli.Wena Msinga wayo yonke intuthuzelo yam,Ungaphezu kobomi kum;Ngubani endinaye emhlabeni ngaphandleKwakho?

Okanye ngubani eZulwini kuphela nguWe?Imfama uFanny Crosby wenza loo ntetho.

262 Nkosi Yesu, ungagqithi namnye kubo, kodwa baphe bonkengamnye kubo impiliso yabo, ngobubusuku. Ndibanikela kuWe,eGameni likaYesu Kristu.


263 Phakamisani izandla zenu ngoku nicule imibongo.Ndiyakubathandazela. Kulungile.Wonke umntu, niyaMkholwa?264 Ngoku, Mnu. ndoda-yehadi, NdiyakuMdumisa.NdiyakuMdumisa. Siphe inowuthi. Kulungile.

Wonke umntu, ngezandla zenu ziphakanyisiwe ngoku.NdiyakuMdumisa, ndiyakuMdumisa,Mayidunyiswe iMvana eyaxhelelwa aboni;Mnikeni Yena uzuko, nonke nina bantu,Kuba igazi Lakhe lihlambe lasusa ngalinyeibala.

265 Ngoku xhawula izandla nomnye ecaleni kwakho, uthi,“UThixo akusikelele, sihlobo. Ndi—ndiyavuya ukwazi ukubawamkele uYesu njengomphilisi wakho.” Ngoku, oko kuhle.Kulungile. Xhawula izandla uthi, “Bulela iNkosi.”266 Ngoku masiphakamisele izandla zethu kuYe, size siculekwakhona ngentliziyo zethu zonke; iintloko zethu zithotyiwe,amehlo ethu evaliwe, ngentliziyo zethu zonke ngoku.

NdiyakuMdumisa, ndiyakuMdumisa,Mayidunyiswe iMvana eyaxhelelwa aboni;Mnikeni Yena uzuko, nonke nina bantu,Kuba igazi Lakhe lihlambe lasusa ngalinye…

267 Ingaba uqondakalisiwe ngokwaneleyo phakathi kwenuokokuba ningamamkela Yena? NiyakholwaÚlapha? Niyakholwaukuba lowo nguYe? Zihlobo, ukuba bendingehlela phaya kwesasihlwele ndize ndiphilise nabani wenu bantu, ndiqinisekilebendiyakuyenza. Bendingavuya ukukwenza oko. Ngentliziyoyam yonke, bendiyakuyenza. Kodwa a—andinakukwenza oko.A—andinayo nenye—nenye indlela yokuyenza. Kodwa kuphelakwento endinayo, sesi sipho sincinci endithe ndanibonisa sona,kwaye oko kuqondakalisa isithembiso seSibhalo sokuba uYesuKristu ulapha kanye kunye nathi, egcina isithembiso Sakhe.Owu, oko kufanele kuvuthise iintliziyo zethu. Bethu, cinga njengoYesu, ela Gama limangalisayo!268 Xa, xa elaGama laqala ukuthethwa, xa uMariya wenyukelakwaYuda. Kwaye u-Elizabeth ekhawule, noYohane omncincieneenyanga ezintandathu ubudala, esibelekweni sikanina,kwaye engekashukumi. Ngoku, wonke ubani uyazi, malunganeenyanga ezintathu, okanye ezine, kubuncinci, usanaluyashukuma. Kwaye u-Elizabeth wayengaqhelekanga,yena…Lwalungashukumanga. Wayezifihlile. Kwaye xawabona uMariya esiza, ubuso bakhe obuncinci bakhanya,nozuko lukaThixo. Waza wathi, “Uyazi…” Waza wabonawayezakuba ngumama, waza wathi, “Ndiyaqonda wenanoYosefu nitshatile?”

“Hayi. Asitshatanga.”“Kulungile, uh, kwaye uzakuba nomntwana?”


269 “Ewe. UMoya oyiNgcwele undigubungele, kwaye ÚthelaNto iyakuzalwa kum iyakubizwa ‘uNyana kaThixo.’ Kwayendiyakumbiza iGama Lakhe ‘Yesu.’”270 Kwaye nje kwamsinya ethe, “Yesu,” ityeli lokuqala ekwathiiGama likaYesu Kristu lakhankanywa ngemilebe yomntu,oluncinci olufileyo usana kwisibeleko sikanina lwamkela uMoyaoyiNgcwele lwaza lwaqalisa ukuxhuma ngovuyo, esibelekwenisikanina.271 Kufanele iGama likaYesu lenza ntoni kwelizelwe ngokutshaiBandla? Andiyifumani. Uzuko kuThixo! UnguYesu Kristu,uNyana kaThixo, umniki-Bomi. Amen. MasiMnike udumo.Phakamisani nje izandla zenu. Kwaye ndiyakuMdumisa.Haleluya!
