Amabali amathathu asuka eBhayibhileni ngenceba kaThixo
Inceba ithetha ukuba nosizi, ukubonisa imfesane, okanye ukwenza inceba komnye umntu. Ebhayibhileni, ezona zenzo zinkulu zenceba zikaThixo zibonakaliswa kwabo bafanele ukohlwaywa. Eli nqaku liza kuvavanya imizekelo emithathu ebalaseleyo yokuthanda kukaThixo ukwenza inceba yakhe yoyise umgwebo (Yakobi 2:13).
INineve
INineve, ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane ye-120.000 BC, yayisisixeko esikhulu kwisixeko esandayo seAsiriya. Amagqabantshintshi awahlukeneyo eBhayibhile athi abemi besixeko ngexesha likaYona babesuka kwi-600.000 ukuya kwi-XNUMX okanye nangaphezulu.
Uphando olwenziwe kubemi bamandulo lubonisa ukuba isixeko sabahedeni, kwiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu anesithandathu ngaphambi kokutshatyalaliswa ngo-612 BC, yayiyeyona ndawo inabantu abaninzi emhlabeni (iminyaka engama-4000 yokukhula kwedolophu: ubalo lwabantu lwimbali).
Ukuziphatha gwenxa kwesi sixeko kwatsala umdla kaThixo kwaye kwafuna isigwebo sakhe (Yona 1: 1 - 2). INkosi igqiba ekubeni, kodwa, inwebe isixeko. Thumela umprofeti omncinci uYona ukuba axwayise iNineve ngeendlela zakhe zesono kunye nentshabalalo ezayo (3: 4).
U-Yona, nangona uThixo kwafuneka amkholise ukuba enze umsebenzi wakhe, ekugqibeleni walumkisa iNineve ukuba umgwebo wakhe wawusondela ngokukhawuleza (Yona 4: 4). Ukuphendula kwangoko kwesixeko yayikukuba wonke umntu, kubandakanya nezilwanyana, azile ukutya. Ukumkani waseNineve, owayezila ukutya, wade wayalela abantu ukuba baguquke kwiindlela zabo ezimbi ngethemba lokufumana inceba (3: 5 - 9).
Impendulo engaqhelekanga yaleyo yaseNineve, ekubhekiswa kuyo nguYesu ngokwakhe (uMateyu 12:41), yazisa inceba kaThixo kweso sixeko ngokuthatha isigqibo sokungawubhukuqi!
Usindiswe ekufeni
UKumkani uDavide wayenombulelo kwaye wayefumana inceba kaThixo rhoqo, ebhala ubuncinci kwiiNdumiso ezingama-38. Kwindumiso enye, inombolo 136, udumisa izenzo zenceba zeNkosi kwiindinyana zakhe ezingamashumi amabini anesithandathu!
UDavid, emva kokunqwenela umfazi otshatileyo ogama linguBhatshebha, akazange akrexeze naye kuphela, kodwa wazama nokufihla isono sakhe ngokulungiselela ukubhubha komyeni wakhe u-Uriya (2 Samuweli 11, 12). Umthetho kaThixo wawufuna ukuba abo benze ezo zenzo bohlwaywe ngesigwebo sentambo (iEksodus 21:12 - 14, iLevitikus 20:10, njl.
Umprofeti uNatan uthunyelwa ukuba aye kuxelela ukumkani ngezono zakhe ezinkulu. Emva kokuba eguqukile kwinto ayenzileyo, uThixo wenzela uDavide inceba ngokucela uNatan ukuba athi kuye, “Usibekile uNdikhoyo isono sakho. awuyi kufa ”(2 Samuweli 12:13). UDavid wasindiswa ekufeni ngokuqinisekileyo kuba wasivuma kwangoko isono sakhe kwaye inceba yeNkosi yathathela ingqalelo intliziyo yakhe yokuguquka (jonga iNdumiso 51).
IYerusalem yasindisa intshabalalo
UDavid wafuna enye inceba enkulu emva kokwenza isono sokubalwa kwabalwi bakwa-Israeli. Emva kokujongana nesono sakhe, inkosi ikhetha ubhubhane weentsuku ezintathu obulalayo emhlabeni wonke njengesohlwayo sakhe.
UThixo, emva kokuba ingelosi yokufa ibulale ama-70.000 amaSirayeli, uyeke ukubulawa kwabantu ngaphambi kokuba ingene eYerusalem (2 Samuweli 24) UDavid, ebona ingelosi, ucela inceba kaThixo ukuba ingaphulukani nobomi obungaphezulu. Isibetho sinqunyanyisiwe emva kokuba inkosi yakhe isibingelelo kwaye yenza amadini kuso (ivesi 25).
