Ingabe izingelosi ziyindoda noma ngowesifazane? Okushiwo yiBhayibheli
Ingabe izingelosi zingabesilisa noma abesifazane?
Izingelosi aziwona owesilisa noma owesifazane ngendlela abantu abaqonda ngayo nabathola ngayo ubulili. Kepha noma nini lapho kukhulunywa ngezingelosi eBhayibhelini, igama elihunyushwe ngokuthi "ingelosi" lihlala lisetshenziswa ngendlela yesilisa. Futhi, lapho izingelosi zivela kubantu eBhayibhelini, babehlala bebonakala njengabantu. Futhi lapho kunikezwa amagama, amagama ayehlala esilisa ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Igama lesiHeberu nelesiGreki elisho ingelosi lihlala lingowesilisa.
Igama lesiGrikhi elithi angelos nelesiHeberu elithi מֲלְאָךְ (malak) womabili amabizo abesilisa ahunyushwe ngokuthi "ingelosi", okusho isithunywa esivela kuNkulunkulu (Strong's 32 and 4397).
"Dumisani iNkosi, nina zingelosi zakhe [malak], nina bantu abanamandla abenza ukuhleleka kwakhe, abalalela izwi lakhe". (IHubo 103: 20)
“Ngabe sengibheka futhi ngezwa izwi lezingelosi eziningi [i-angelos], elibala izinkulungwane nezinkulungwane nezinkulungwane eziyishumi eziphindwe kayishumi. Bazungeze isihlalo sobukhosi, izidalwa eziphilayo kanye nabadala. Bababaza: "Lifanele iWundlu, elabulawa, ukwamukela amandla, ingcebo, ukuhlakanipha, amandla, udumo, inkazimulo nodumo!" "(Isambulo 5: 11-12)
Lapho izingelosi zivela kubantu eBhayibhelini, babehlala bebonakala njengabantu.
Izingelosi ezimbili zavela njengamadoda ngenkathi zidla emzini kaLoti eSodoma kuGenesise 19: 1-22 zamthumela yena nomndeni wakhe ngaphambi kokubhubhisa idolobha.
"Ingelosi yeNkosi," watshela umama kaSamson ukuthi uzoba nendodana. Uchaze ingelosi kumyeni wakhe "njengomuntu kaNkulunkulu" kuBahluleli 13.
"Ingelosi yeNkosi" yavela njengendoda echazwa ngokuthi "ifana nokukhanyiselwa futhi izingubo zayo zazimhlophe njengeqhwa" (uMathewu 28: 3). Le ngelosi yagingqa itshe phambi kwethuna likaJesu kuMathewu 28.
Lapho bethola amagama, amagama ayehlala esilisa ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Izingelosi okukhulunywa ngazo kuphela eBhayibhelini nguGabriyeli noMichael.
UMichael kukhulunywa ngaye okokuqala kuDaniel 10:13, kwalandela uDaniel 21, Jude 9 kanye neSambulo 12: 7-8.
UGabriel ukhulunywe ngaye kuDaniel 8:12, Daniyeli 9:21 kwiTestamente Elidala. KuTestamente Elisha, uGabriel wamemezela ukuzalwa kukaJohane uMbhapathizi kuZakariya kuLuka 1, bese kuzalwa uJesu kuMariya ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kuLuka 1.
Abesifazane ababili abanamaphiko kuZakariya
Abanye bafunda lesi siprofetho kuZakariya 5: 5-11 bese behumusha abesifazane ababili abanezimpiko njengezingelosi zabesifazane.
“Ingelosi ebikhuluma nami yeza, yathi kimi: 'Phakamisa amehlo, ubone okubonayo.' Ngabuza: "Kuyini?" Uphendule wathi: "Yibhasikidi." Futhi wanezela: "Lokhu kungububi babantu ezweni lonke." Kwabe sekuphakanyiswa isembozo somthofu, futhi kwakuhlala owesifazane kubhasikidi! Wathi, "Lokhu kungububi," waphinde wawuphushela emuva kubhasikidi wafaka isivalo somthofu phezu kwawo. Ngabe sengiphakamisa amehlo ami - ngabona abesifazane ababili phambi kwami, benomoya emaphikweni abo! Babenamaphiko afana nalawo onogolantethe futhi baphakamisa ubhasikidi phakathi kwezulu nomhlaba. "Bayisa kuphi ubhasikidi?" Ngabuza ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami. Waphendula: “Ezweni laseBabiloni ukwakha indlu khona. Uma indlu isilungile, ubhasikidi uzobekwa endaweni yawo ”(Zakariya 5: 5-11).
Ingelosi ekhuluma nomprofethi uZakariya ichazwa ngegama lesilisa elithi malak kanye nezabizwana zesilisa. Kodwa-ke, ukudideka kuvela lapho, esiprofethweni, abesifazane ababili abanamaphiko bandiza bemuka nebhasikidi lobubi. Abesifazane bavezwa ngamaphiko kanogolantethe (inyoni engcolile), kodwa ababizwa ngezingelosi. Njengoba lesi yisiprofetho esigcwele izithombe, abafundi akudingeki ukuthi bathathe izingathekiso ngokoqobo. Lesi siprofetho sidlulisa imifanekiso yesono sika-Israyeli esingaphenduki nemiphumela yaso.
Njengoba ukuphawula kweCambridge kusho, “Akudingekile ukubheka noma iyiphi incazelo yemininingwane yaleli vesi. Bavele badlulise iqiniso, begqoke izithombe ngokuhambisana nombono, wokuthi ububi buvele ngokushesha emhlabeni ”.
Kungani izingelosi zivame ukuvezwa njengabesifazane kwezobuciko namasiko?
I-a Christianity Today i-athikili ihlobanisa ukuboniswa kwezingelosi kwabesifazane namasiko asendulo obuqaba okungenzeka ukuthi ahlanganiswe nomcabango nobuciko bobuKristu.
“Izinkolo eziningi zobuqaba zazinezinceku zonkulunkulu abanamaphiko (njengoHermes), kanti ezinye zazo zazingabesifazane ngokukhethekile. Abanye onkulunkulukazi abangamaqaba nabo babenamaphiko futhi baziphatha ngandlela thile njengezingelosi: benza ukubonakala okungazelelwe, bethumela imiyalezo, belwa izimpi, befaka izinkemba ”.
Ngaphandle kobuKristu nobuJuda, amaqaba ayekhonza izithombe ezinamaphiko nezinye izici ezihlobene nezingelosi zaseBhayibhelini, njengonkulunkulukazi ongumGrikhi uNike, okhonjiswa ngamaphiko afana nezingelosi futhi othathwa njengoyisimangaliso sokunqoba.
Ngenkathi izingelosi kungezona ezesilisa noma abesifazane ngokwabantu futhi amasiko adumile aziveza njengabesifazane ngobuciko, iBhayibheli lihlala likhomba izingelosi ngamagama wesilisa.
