Izingelosi zidlala izindima ezibalulekile eBhayibhelini
Amakhadi okubingelela nezithombe zesitolo sezikhumbuzo eziyizingelosi ezinjengezingane ezinamaphiko ezemidlalo kungaba yindlela ethandwa kakhulu yokuzibonisa, kepha ibhayibheli liveza isithombe esihlukile nezezingelosi. EBhayibhelini, izingelosi zivela njengabantu abadala abanamandla amakhulu abavame ukumangaza abantu abazihambelayo. Amavesi eBhayibheli anjengoDaniel 10: 10-12 noLuka 2: 9-11 abonisa ukuthi izingelosi zikhuthaza abantu ukuba bangazesabi. IBhayibheli liqukethe imininingwane ethokozisayo ngezingelosi. Nazi ezinye zezinto ezivezwa yiBhayibheli ngezingelosi: izidalwa zikaNkulunkulu zasezulwini kwesinye isikhathi ezisisiza lapha eMhlabeni.
Khonza uNkulunkulu ngokusikhonza
UNkulunkulu wadala inqwaba yezidalwa ezingafi ezibizwa ngezingelosi (okusho ukuthi ngesiGreek okusho "izithunywa") ukuba zisebenze njengommeli phakathi kwakhe nabantu ngenxa yegebe eliphakathi kobungcwele bakhe obuphelele nokushiyeka kwethu. 1 KuThimothi 6:16 kwembula ukuthi abantu abakwazi ukubona uNkulunkulu ngokuqondile. Kepha ama-Heberu 1:14 athi uNkulunkulu uthumela izingelosi ukuyosiza abantu abazohlala naye ezulwini ngelinye ilanga.
Abanye bathembekile, abanye bawa
Ngenkathi izingelosi eziningi zihlala zithembekile kuNkulunkulu futhi zisebenzela ukwenza okuhle, ezinye izingelosi zajoyina ingelosi ewile ebizwa ngokuthi uLusifa (manje owaziwa ngokuthi nguSathane) lapho ihlubuka uNkulunkulu, ngakho manje basebenzela izinhloso ezimbi. Izingelosi ezithembekile nezingcwele zihlala zilwa impi yazo emhlabeni, nezingelosi ezinhle zizama ukusiza abantu nezingelosi ezimbi ezizama ukulinga abantu ukuba bone. Ngakho-ke eyoku-1 Johane 4: 1 iyanxusa: "... musani ukukholwa yonke imimoya, kodwa vivivinya imimoya ukuze nibone ukuthi ivela kuNkulunkulu yini ...".
Izinhlelo zezingelosi
Zinjani izingelosi uma zivakashela abantu? Kwesinye isikhathi izingelosi ziyavela zisesimweni sasezulwini, njengengelosi uMathewu 28: 2-4 echaza ehleli etsheni lethuna likaJesu Kristu ngemuva kokuvuka kwakhe enombala omhlophe okhanyayo osikhumbuza umbani.
Kepha kwesinye isikhathi izingelosi zibukeka njengezabantu uma zivakashela uMhlaba, ngakho-ke amaHeberu 13: 2 ayaxwayisa: "Ungakhohlwa ukubonisa umoya wokungenisa izihambi, ngoba ngokwenza njalo abanye abantu babonisa umoya wokungenisa izihambi bengazi."
Ngezinye izikhathi, izingelosi azibonakali, njengoba eyabaseKolose 1:16 yembula: “Ngoba zadalelwa kuye zonke izinto: izinto ezisezulwini nasemhlabeni, ezibonakalayo nezingabonakali, noma ngabe ziyizihlalo zobukhosi noma amandla noma obukhosi noma ababusi; zonke izinto zidalwe ngaye futhi zidalelwa yena. "
IBhayibheli lamaProthestani likhuluma ngokuqondile ngezingelosi ezimbili kuphela ngegama: UMikayeli, olwa noSathane ezulwini noGabriel, otshela iNtombi enguMariya ukuthi uzoba ngunina kaJesu Kristu. Kodwa-ke, futhi iBhayibheli lichaza izinhlobo eziningana zezingelosi, ezinjengekherubhi neserafi. I-Bible yamaKatolika ikhuluma ngengelosi yesithathu ngegama: Raphael.
Imisebenzi eminingi
Ibhayibheli lichaza izinhlobo eziningi zemisebenzi ezenziwa izingelosi, ukusuka ekukhulekeleni uNkulunkulu ezulwini kuya ekuphenduleni imithandazo yabantu abaseMhlabeni. Izingelosi esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu zisiza abantu ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene, kusukela ekushayeleni kuya ekufezeni izidingo zomzimba.
Unamandla, kepha hhayi unamandla onke
UNkulunkulu unike izingelosi amandla abantu abangenawo, njengokwazi konke okusemhlabeni, amandla okubona ikusasa namandla okwenza ukusebenza ngamandla amakhulu.
Noma zinamandla kangakanani, kepha izingelosi azibonakali ngokwazi noma zinamandla onke njengoNkulunkulu.Hubo 72:18 lithi uNkulunkulu kuphela onamandla okwenza izimangaliso.
Izingelosi zimane nje ziyizingelosi; labo abathembekile bathembela emandleni abo abawanikwe nguNkulunkulu ukufeza intando kaNkulunkulu .Yize umsebenzi wamandla wezingelosi ungakhuthaza ukumangala, ibhayibheli lithi abantu kufanele bakhulekele uNkulunkulu kunezingelosi zakhe. Isambulo 22: 8-9 sibika ukuthi umphostoli uJohane waqala kanjani ukukhuleka ingelosi eyamnikeza umbono, kepha ingelosi yathi ingomunye wezinceku zikaNkulunkulu futhi esikhundleni salokho yayala uJohane ukuba akhonze uNkulunkulu.
