Nangona kunjalo, ukutolikwa kweBhayibhile ngephupha kwakufuneka kuvavanywe ngononophelo ukubonisa ukuba livela kuThixo (iDuteronomi 13). Bobabini uYeremiya noZekariya balumkisa ngokuthembela emaphupheni ukuba bavakalise isityhilelo sikaThixo (Yeremiya 23:28).

Nangona kunjalo, iZenzo 2:17 kunye no-Yuda 8 basebenzisa igama eliqhelekileyo xa kuthethwa ngephupha (i-enypnion) kunye nephupha (enypniazomai), ezibhekisa kumaphupha e-oracle nakwamanye angabonakaliyo.
"Umbono wasebusuku" okanye "umbono ebusuku" lelinye ibinzana elisetyenziswe eBhayibhileni ukuthetha umyalezo okanye iphupha. Eli binzana lifumaneka kwiTestamente eNdala neNtsha (Isaya 29: 7; Daniyeli 2:19; Izenzo 16: 9; 18: 9).
Amaphupha emiyalezo
Amaphupha ebhayibhile ahlulahlulwe baba ngamacandelo amathathu asisiseko: imiyalezo yentshabalalo okanye ubutyebi, isilumkiso malunga nabaprofeti bobuxoki kunye namaphupha aqhelekileyo angengawo awomlomo.
Iindidi ezimbini zokuqala zibandakanya amaphupha emiyalezo. Elinye igama lomyalezo wamaphupha yindawo yokubhala. Amaphupha emiyalezo ngokubanzi akafuni kutolikwa kwaye ahlala ebandakanya imiyalelo ngqo ethe yahanjiswa ngu-uthixo okanye umncedisi wobuThixo.

KuMateyu 2:12, izilumko zalumkiswa ngomyalezo wephupha ukuba zingabuyeli kuHerode. Kwaye kwiZenzo 16: 9, umpostile uPawulos wayenombono wasebusuku wendoda eyayimcenga ukuba aye eMakedoni. Lo mbono ebusuku yayingumyalezo wephupha. Ngayo, uThixo wathuma uPawulos ukuba ashumayele iindaba ezilungileyo eMakedoni.
Amaphupha angumfuziselo
Amaphupha afuziselayo afuna ukutolikwa kuba aqulathe iisimboli kunye nezinye izinto ezingezizo ezokwenyani ezingaqondakali kakuhle.
Amaphupha athile okomfuziselo asebhayibhileni alula ukutyhilwa. Xa unyana kaYosefu uYosefu waphupha ngeengqimba zengqolowa kunye nemizimba yasezulwini iqubuda phambi kwakhe, abakhuluwa bakhe baqonda ngokukhawuleza ukuba la maphupha abikezela ukuzithoba kwabo kwixesha elizayo kuYosefu (Genesis 37: 1-11).
Wabaleka uYakobi ephila ngenxa yamawele wakhe uEsawu, xa ke wayolala khona ngokuhlwa eLuzi. Ngobo busuku ephupheni, wabona umbono wokuhamba ngezitepsi, okanye izinyuko, phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba. Iingelosi zikaThixo zazinyuka ziyehla zenyuka. Wabona uYakobi emi ngasentla kwesitepsi. UThixo wasiphinda isithembiso senkxaso awayeyenzile ku-Abraham noIsake. Waxelela uYakobi ukuba inzala yakhe iya kuba ninzi, zisikelele zonke iintsapho zomhlaba. Waqhubeka wathi: "Ndinawe, ndiza kukugcina naphi apho uya khona, ndikubuyisele kulomhlaba.
Ngoba andizukushiya ndide ndenze lento ndikuthembise yona “. (IGenesis 28:15)
Ukuchazwa kweephupha likaYakobi elipheleleyo ngekhe kucace ukuba ibingenguye ingxelo kaYesu Kristu kuYohane 1:51 yokuba yile ileli. UThixo uthathe inyathelo lokuqala ukufikelela ebantwini ngoNyana wakhe, uYesu Krestu, “ileli” egqibeleleyo. UYesu "nguThixo enathi", oweza emhlabeni ukusindisa uluntu ngokusidibanisa nolwalamano noThixo.
Amaphupha kaFaro ayenzima kwaye efuna ukutolikwa ngobuchule.

Akukho namnye kwizilumko zase-Egypt kunye nabavumisi ababedla ngokuchaza amaphupha ababenokuyiqonda intsingiselo yephupha likaFaro.
Umngcwabi kaFaro wakhumbula ukuba uYosefu uliguqulele iphupha lakhe entolongweni. Emva koko uYosefu wakhululwa entolongweni kwaye uThixo wamtyhilela intsingiselo yephupha likaFaro. Iphupha lokomfuziselo labona iminyaka esixhenxe elungileyo yokuchuma kweYiputa kwalandela iminyaka esixhenxe yendlala.
Amaphupha kaKumkani uNebhukadenetsare
Amaphupha kaKumkani uNebhukadenetsare achazwe kuDaniel 2 no-4 yimizekelo emihle yamaphupha okomfuziselo. UThixo wanika uDaniel amandla okuchaza amaphupha kaNebhukadenetsare. Elinye lala maphupha, uDaniel wacacisa, waxela kwangaphambili ukuba uNebhukadenetsare wayeya kudakasa iminyaka esixhenxe, ehlala emasimini enjengesilwanyana, esineenwele ezinde kunye nezikhonkwane, kwaye esitya ingca. Emva konyaka, ngelixa uNebhukadenetsare eqhayisa ngaye, iphupha lazaliseka.

Ngaba uThixo usathetha nathi ngamaphupha?
Namhlanje uThixo unxibelelana ikakhulu ngeBhayibhile, isityhilelo sakhe esibhaliweyo kubantu bakhe. Kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba akanakukwazi okanye akazukuthetha nathi ngamaphupha. Inani elothusayo lamaSilamsi aguqukele kubuKrestu athi akholelwa kuYesu Krestu ngamava ephupha.
Njengokuba ukutolikwa kwamaphupha kumaxesha amandulo kwakufuna ukuvavanywa ngononophelo ukubonisa ukuba iphupha livela kuThixo, kunjalo nanamhlanje. Amakholwa angathandaza kuThixo acele ubulumko kunye nezikhokelo ngokubhekisele ekutolikeni amaphupha (Yakobi 1: 5). Ukuba uThixo uthetha nathi ngephupha, uyakuhlala eyicacisa intsingiselo yalo, kanye njengoko wenzayo kubantu abase Bhayibhileni.
