Izilwane zintshontsha lo mbukiso kumdlalo webhayibheli.
Anginaso isilwane. Lokhu kungifaka engxabanweni nama-65% ezakhamizi zase-U.S ezikhetha ukwaba amakhaya azo nezilwane. U-44% wethu uhlala nezinja kanti ezingama-35% unamakati. Izinhlanzi ezinamanzi ahlanzekile iyizilwane ezifuywayo ezigcinwa kakhulu ngevolumu, ngoba abantu bavame ukuzigcina ethangini eligcwele. Ubunikazi bezinyoni bungenye yesihlanu kasayizi wezihlobo zamakati.
Ukungabi nesilwane "sami" akungiphiki injabulo yezidalwa ezindaweni zazo zemvelo, ngoba ukuba khona kwazo kuzimele okwami. Kungaba nzima ukuhlala kwiplanethi enguMhlaba futhi ukhululeke ngokuphelele ezilwaneni.
Kuyinselele efanayo ukufunda iBhayibheli nokugwema izilwane. Ngokuvamile badlala izindima ezisekelayo, kepha izinombolo zabo zempi.
Mhlawumbe iziqephu ezimbili zezilwane ezifuywayo kuphela ezilotshwe emibhalweni. Esokuqala senzeka emzekelisweni umprofethi uNathani atshela iNkosi uDavide ngawo. Indaba emnandi kakhulu ngendoda empofu enewundlu elifuywayo ayithandayo kangangokuba ilala esifubeni sayo. Ngeshwa, akukho lutho oluhle olwenzekayo kumawundlu, ngoba indoda engenangqondo futhi ecebile iyacabanga ngesidlo sakusihlwa. Ukufutheka kukaDavide ngale ndaba kugcizelela kahle leli phuzu, ngenkathi uNathani emtshela inkosi yakhe ephingayo: "Lowo muntu nguwe".
Esinye isilwane esisebhayibhelini sinesiphetho esihle. Encwadini kaTobias, uTobias osemusha unenja emlandela ngaphandle komnyango nasendleleni eya ekuzijabuliseni. Kubuye kube yinto ebabazekayo, njengoba uTobias ephinda athole ingcebo kayise futhi azitholele umfazi. Ngeshwa, umakoti, uSarah, unedemoni, okhipha okunye ukufakwa kwezinhlanzi. Kukhona i-mojo elingcwele elingcwele elisele emiseleni yezinhlanzi ukubuyisa umbono kaMdala Tobias 'olahlekile. Ngiyethemba inja ibe nohambo olunenzuzo efana nenkosi yayo.
Ngesinye isikhathi, izilwane zijabulela amaphrofayli aphezulu emidlalweni yedrama. Bekungeke kwenzeke ukuyixoxa indaba yokudalwa ngaphandle kosuku lwesihlanu, lapho izinyoni nezinhlanzi zigcwele isibhakabhaka nolwandle. Ukungasho ukuthi usuku lwesithupha, lapho ezinye izidalwa zidonsa, zikhasa, ziqhaqhazele futhi zibe gallop zibe khona - kufaka phakathi imilenze enemilenze emibili eyenziwe ngomfanekiso waphezulu. Zonke lezi zidalwa zinokudla kwe-vegan kusuka ekuqaleni, okwenza ukuhlala kwazo kube umbuso onokuthula ngempela.
Ngakho-ke inyoka ethile isenkabeni yesigameko. Lesi silwane esikhulumayo sibangela izinkinga eziningi kakhulu ukuthi izilwane ezisebhayibhelini ziyisimungulu ngemuva kwalokhu - ngaphandle kwembongolo kaBalami kuNumeri 22. Ngenhlanhla, imbongolo ikhetha ukuba ngasohlangothini lwezingelosi.
Ngemuva kwengadi, ukuthembana okungokwedlule kubhujiswa. Ukudana okungabumbene kukaKayini no-Abela kuqhuma ngenxa yokungafani kobungcweti: U-Abela ungumalusi kanti uKayini ungumlimi womhlaba. Ukuba ngumalusi kuholela ku-Abela ukunikela ngomhlatshelo wesilwane kuNkulunkulu, obonakala uthande izinhlobo zezitshalo. Khumbula, akekho umuntu odla inyama okwamanje. Imihlambi ka-Abela yayihlinzeka ngezingubo nobisi. Iphuzu lomhlatshelo akukhona ukondla uNkulunkulu kepha ukunikela entweni engeke ibuyiselwe emuva.
Inyama ephakathi kwabafowethu iqokomisa ukungqubuzana okungaphelelwa isikhathi phakathi komnini womhlambi nomlimi. Enye indlela yokuphila ihamba futhi imahhala, enye iboshelwe esiqeshini sendawo. Ngemuva kokubulala u-Abela, uKayini uhambe eyofuna idolobha, futhi waziqinisa lapho. Abefundisi bahlala bengemukelwa ngokwebhayibheli kubahlali basemadolobheni kuze kube phakade.
Izilwane zintshontsha lo mbukiso endaweni enkulu yezikhukhula. Ngobuchwepheshe, uNowa ungumlingiswa ophambili lapha, kodwa ubungeke ukwazi ukuthi ukunakwa okukhokhelwe kumamayela wezilwane ezihalayo ukuze zingene emkhunjini.
Ngemuva kokuba uNowa ephinde eme ezweni, ubudlelwane babuye benza olunye ushintsho. Isikhathi esiphakathi kwezinhlobo zezilwane manje sesivulekile, njengoba isidlo esimnandi sivumelekile. Izinga eliphakeme lobudlova manje selingene eMhlabeni, njengoba isidalwa ngasinye sibona enye njengokudla okungenzeka kube yikho.
Kokulandelayo, iningi lezilwane ezethulwe eBhayibhelini kuzobe kupakisha izilwane, izinto zomhlatshelo noma kumenyu. Ngokushesha u-Abrahama wengamela umhlambi wezimvu nezinkabi futhi usebenzisa izimbongolo namakamela. Akukho kulokhu okufuywayo. Uzovula kalula isithole, inqama, ijuba nejuba ngokuhlangana kwakhe okungaqondakali noNkulunkulu kulokhu kuqubuka. Izinsuku lapho sasihamba naye emkhunjini sezidlulile.
Isilwane esilandelayo esigabeni esineenkanyezi yinqama ethatha indawo ka-Isaka e-altare lomhlatshelo eNtabeni iMoriya. Inqama ka-Abhrahama inomndeni ofana neWundlu likaNkulunkulu elingumfuziselo.

Indlela yokuphila ihlasela abafowethu futhi futhi: ngenkathi u-Esawu ezingela, izintshisekelo zikaJakobe ziyahlala zekhaya. Balwela ukwamukelwa ngendlela kaKayini no-Abela, kulokhu hhayi ukunakwa nguNkulunkulu kepha okwababa. Ngiyaxolisa ukusho ukuthi izilwane eziningi zilimele ekwenzeni le ndaba, kusuka enyameni yembuzi egqoke ukuzisika njengomdlalo kuya kwesidalwa esizingelwayo esilungiselelwe ize ukuthola isibusiso esintshontshiwe.
Masinyane phambili kuMose, othumela izindimbane zamasele, amabele, izimpukane nesikhonyane njengezinhlupho phezu kweGibhithe. Ngokuphazima kweso, izilwane ziyizikhali zokubhubhisa inqwaba.

Amahhashi ahudula izinqola zikaFaro embhedeni owomile woLwandle Olubomvu, bese elahleka kanye nezinqola nabanakekeli bakaFaro.
Izilwane zaqhubeka zihlomile kuze kube isikhathi samaMaccabees, lapho izindlovu zazisebenza njengamathangi ezimpini ezingapheli zenkathi. Amasosha anika utshwala izilo ezihlwempu ukuze azilungiselele impi. Agcina amabhubesi elambele ukushwabadela izitha zenkosi. Kodwa-ke, amabhubesi emgodini othile enqaba ukudla uDaniel.
UNkulunkulu uthumela inhlanzi enkulu ukuba imgwinye uJona. Lesi akusona isenzo sempi, kepha kunalokho kungumsebenzi wesihe kwabaseNinivhi, abadinga ukulalela isixwayiso somprofethi ngaphezu kwalokho uJona afuna ukukusindisa. Inhlanzi kufanele ukuba ibonge kakhulu ukuhambisa umthwalo wayo.
Uma silanda umlando wezilwane ezisebhayibhelini, sikubheka ngokukhethekile usizi lwabo. Benza ukuphakamisa okunzima, babulawa ngamanani amaningi, babhaliswa ukulwa izimpi zabantu futhi bagcina ezitsheni ekugcineni kosuku.
Ezinye izilwane ezizithandayo zibuyela emkhombeni wazo ngobusuku obumatasa eBhetlehema ukuthola umntwana. Leyo ngane uqobo izoba ngukudla komhlaba, ithathe imithwalo yabantu, ibe ngumhlatshelo wokugcina futhi ilwe impi yokugcina yokulwa nesono nokufa. Umbuso onokuthula ususazovuselelwa.
