Sifiselana "Unyaka Omusha Ojabulisayo!" Sicabanga ngezinqumo; izindlela esifuna ukwenza kangcono ngazo. Sifuna ukuba usizo, ukuzwa injabulo etholakala ngokufeza konke uNkulunkulu asinikeze isikhathi sakho kukho.
Ngakho... lithini iBhayibheli ngesikhathi?
EBhayibhelini, isikhathi simelela izimo ezingokomoya ezimpilweni zethu. Cabanga ngezinsuku ezingu-7 zokudala, izinsuku ezingu-40 nobusuku obungu-40, iminyaka engu-20 uJakobe esebenzela uLabani, iminyaka engu-7 yenala neminye engu-7 yendlala, noma engu-40 ehlane. Kukhona izinsuku zeSabatha, neminyaka yeSabatha, njalo ngonyaka wesikhombisa. Ngomnyaka wamashumi ayisihlanu, kukhona iJubili; isikhathi sokusetha kabusha nokubuyisela. Izinto ezenzeka kulezo zindaba zithathe isikhathi -- futhi izinguquko okudingeka sizenze ukuze sizalwe kabusha ngokomoya zithatha isikhathi, nazo.
Nasi isicaphuna esivela ku-Isaya esiphathelene nesikhathi:
“Ingakabi nemihelo, yazala, ingakafiki kuye ubuhlungu, izale owesilisa; izwe lazala ngalusuku lunye na? Isizwe siyakuzalwa kanyekanye na? Ngiyakufohloza, ngingazaleli, ngingazalisi, ngingazali. yini ebangela ukuzalwa nokuvala [isibeletho]?" (Isaya 66:7-9).
"Izwe liye lazala ngalusuku lunye na? Isizwe siyakuzalwa kanyekanye na?" Ngokusobala akunjalo. Ukuphenduka, ukuguqulwa, nokuzalwa kabusha kuyizigaba zenqubo yempilo yonke. Nansi incazelo yengxenye yenqubo evela Izimfihlakalo Zezulu 2625:
"Omunye umqondo wale nqubo ungakhiwa kusukela kokuhlangenwe nakho kwabantu abazalwa kabusha. INkosi ifaka izimfanelo zasezulwini zothando kanye nezimfanelo zomoya zokholo kuzo hhayi ngesikhathi esisodwa kodwa kancane kancane. Uma lezi zimfanelo ziguqula ingqondo yethu ehluzekile ibe into evulekele ukuzithola, siqala ukuzalwa kabusha–ikakhulukazi ngemizabalazo yangaphakathi esinqoba kuyo. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, isikhathi sesivuthiwe sokuba silahle ubuntu bethu obudala futhi sembathe obusha. Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe ngokuzalwa kabusha komuntu, bona §§Izimfihlakalo Zezulu 677, 679, 711, 848, 986, 1555, 2475."
Encwadini yakhe ethi "Love in Marriage", Swedenborg inikeza le ncazelo, futhi:
"Abantu banolwazi, ukuhlakanipha, nokuhlakanipha. Ulwazi luhlobene nokujwayela okuthile, ukuhlakanipha kuhlobene nokuyiqonda, futhi ukuhlakanipha kuhlobene nokuphila ngayo. Ukuhlakanipha okubhekwa njengento yonke kuwukujwayelana, ukuqonda nokuphila konke. ngaso leso sikhathi Ukwazi ngezinto kuza kuqala, kwakha ukuqonda, futhi lokhu kokubili kwakha ukuhlakanipha - okwenzeka lapho uphila ngokukhalipha ngokuvumelana namaqiniso owazi ngawo. Ngakho ukuhlakanipha kuhlobene nakho kokubili ukuqonda nokuphila, ndawonye. ukuhlakanipha lapho kuhlanganisa ukuqonda ngakho-ke kuyingxenye yokuphila, futhi ekugcineni kuwukuhlakanipha lapho kwenziwa ingxenye yokuphila ngakho-ke ingxenye yokuqonda.” (Nomshado Wasezulwini 130)
Endabeni ekuGenesise, lapho u-Abrahama ethumele khona inceku ayethembekile ezweni lakubo ukuba iyofunela indodana yakhe, u-Isaka umfazi, kukhona leli vesi, okuthi - nakuba lingabonakali kanjalo ebusweni balo - empeleni line incazelo engaphakathi ebaluleke kakhulu lapha:
“U-Isaka waphuma ukuzindla ensimini sekuhlwile; waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabheka, bheka, nanko kuza amakamela! (Genesise 24:63)
Futhi nansi incazelo yaleli vesi, nelilodwa elingaphambi kwalo, kusukela Izimfihlakalo Zezulu 3200:
"Lawa mavesi amabili aveza isimo sobuhle endizeni enengqondo lapho ilindele iqiniso eliwukuhlangana nalo njengomlobokazi nomyeni wakhe.... Kubalulekile ukwazi nokho ukuthi lezi zigaba azifikanga nje. kanye kodwa njalo kukho konke ukuphila kweNkosi emhlabeni, kwaze kwaba yilapho ikhazinyuliswa. Kungokufanayo nakubantu abavuselelayo, ngoba abazalwa kabusha ngesikhathi esisodwa kodwa bahlala njalo kukho konke ukuphila kwabo ngisho nakokunye ukuphila. Phela asikwazi ukuphelela.
