Ziphi izipoki ezisebhayibhelini?
Abafundi bakaJesu bebesesikebheni eLwandle lwaseGalile, kodwana bekangasinabo. UMatteo usitshela ngokwenzekile:
Ngaphambi nje kokusa, uJesu waphuma kubo, ehamba echibini. Lapho abafundi bembona ehamba echibini, bethuthumela. "Ungumpetha," basho, futhi bamemeza ngokwesaba. Kepha uJesu wathi kubo: “Yibani nesibindi! Yimi. Ungasabi". (UMathewu 14: 25-27, NIV)
UMark noLuka babika ngesigameko esifanayo. Ababhali bevangeli abanikeli incazelo yegama elithi phantom. Kuyamangaza ukuthi i-King James Bible the Bible, eyakhishwa ngo-1611, isebenzisa igama elithi "umoya" kule ndima, kepha kwathi lapho kuphuma i-New Diodati ngo-1982, yahumusha leli gama labuyisela "ghost". Iningi ezinye izinguqulo ezilandelanayo, kufaka phakathi i-NIV, i-ESV, i-NASB, i-Amplified, Umlayezo kanye nezindaba ezinhle, zisebenzisa igama elithi phantom kuleli vesi.
Ngemuva kwekuvuswa kwakhe, Jesu wabonakala kubafundi bakhe. Baphinde besaba:
Babethukile futhi besaba, becabanga ukuthi babone isiporho. Wayesethi kubo: “Nikhathazekeleni na? Kungani kuvela ukungabaza emcabangweni wakho? Bheka izandla nezinyawo zami. Yimi uqobo! Ngithinte ubone; Isipoki asinanyama namathambo, njengoba ubona nginakho. " (Lukha 24: 37-39, NIV)
Jesu bekangakholelwa kuzipoki; wayelazi iqiniso, kodwa abaphostoli bakhe ababenenkolelo-ze wayeyamukele le ndaba eyathandwayo Lapho behlangabezana nokuthile ababengakuqondi, bakuthatha masinyane kwaba yizwi.
Impikiswano ibuye idideke lapho, kwezinye izinguqulo ezindala, "ghost" isetshenziswa esikhundleni se "moya". Uhlobo lweKing James lubhekisela kuMoya oNgcwele futhi kuJohane 19:30 uthi:
Lapho uJesu esethola uviniga, wathi: “Kufeziwe.” Wakhothamisa ikhanda washiya umoya.
Uhlobo olusha lweKing James luhumusha isipoki lomoya, kufaka phakathi konke ukubhekisela kuMoya oNgcwele.
Samuweli, umoya noma okunye?
Kuvele okuthile ngesiprofetho esenzakalweni esichazwe ku-1 Samuweli 28: 7-20. Inkosi uSawuli yayilungiselela ukulwa namaFilisti, kepha uJehova wayesemfulathele. USawule wayefuna ukubikezela imiphumela yempi, ngakho wabonana nesangoma, isangoma sase-Endor. Wamyalela ukuthi akhumbule umoya womprofethi uSamuel.
Kuvele "isithombe" sendoda endala nomuntu wasemuva wamangala. Lesi simanga sithuke uSawuli, sabe sesimtshela ukuthi ngeke alahlekelwe yimpi nje kuphela kodwa nempilo yakhe kanye neyezingane zakhe.
Izazi zihlukaniswe ngalokho obekuyi-apparition. Abanye bathi bekuyidemoni, ingelosi ewile, eyalingisa uSamuel. Bayabona ukuthi wavela emhlabeni esikhundleni sehla esibhakabhakeni nokuthi empeleni uSawule akazange ambheke. USawule wayenebuso phansi. Abanye ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wangenela futhi wenza umoya kaSamuweli wabonakala kuSawule.
Incwadi ka-Isaya iphinda ikhulume ngezipoki. Imimoya yabafi kuprofethwe ukuthi ibingelele inkosi yaseBabele esihogweni:
Umbuso wabafileyo ongezansi ulungele ukuhlangana nawe ekufikeni kwakho; vusa imimoya yabafi ukuba ibingelele, bonke labo ababengabaholi emhlabeni; ebavusa ezihlalweni zabo zobukhosi, bonke ababengamakhosi phezu kwezizwe. (U-Isaya 14: 9, NIV)
Futhi ku-Isaya 29: 4, umprofethi uxwayisa abantu baseJerusalema ngokuhlasela okusondelayo kwesitha, yize azi ukuthi isixwayiso sakhe ngeke sizwakale:
Ehlisiwe, uyokhuluma esemhlabathini; inkulumo yakho izodilika othulini. Izwi lakho liyisidumbu emhlabeni; Inkulumo yakho iyokwedlula uthuli. (NIV)
Iqiniso ngezipoki ezisebhayibhelini
Ukubeka impikiswano yesipoki, kubalulekile ukuqonda imfundiso yeBhayibheli ngokuphila ngemuva kokufa. Imibhalo le ithi lapho abantu befa, umoya nomoya wabo uya ezulwini noma esihogweni ngokushesha. Masingazulazuli emhlabeni:
Yebo, sizethemba ngokuphelele futhi singathanda ukuba kude nale mizimba yasemhlabeni, ngoba lapho sizobe sekhaya neNkosi. (2 Korinte 5: 8, NLT)
Okuthiwa yizipoki ngamademoni azethula njengabantu abafile. USathane nabalandeli bakhe banamanga, bahlose ukusabalalisa ukudideka, ukwesaba nokungathembi uNkulunkulu. Uma bekwazi ukukholisa abalamuli, njengowesifazane wase-Endor, oxhumana ngqo nabafileyo, lawo mademoni angaheha abaningi kuNkulunkulu weqiniso:
... ukuvimbela uSathane ukuthi angasimangazi. Ngoba asazi emaphethini ayo. (2 KwabaseKhorinte 2:11, NIV)
Ibhayibheli lisitshela ukuthi kunombuso ongokomoya, ongabonakali emehlweni abantu. Igcwele uNkulunkulu nezingelosi zakhe, uSathane nezingelosi zakhe eziwele noma amademoni. Naphezu kwezinsolo zalabo abangakholwayo, azikho izipoki ezizulazula emhlabeni. Imimoya yabantu abangasekho ihlala kwenye yalezi zindawo ezimbili: izulu noma isihogo.
