Iinkwenkwezi kwiZibhalo Ezingcwele Xa ndicinga ngezulu lakho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga neenkwenkwezi, ozimisileyo; Uyintoni na umntu, le nto umkhumbulayo, nonyana womntu, le nto umnyamekelayo? INdumiso 8:3-4

IiPentateuch UThixo wenza izikhanyiso ezibini ezikhulu: isikhanyiso esikhulu sokulawula imini, nesikhanyiso esincinci sokulawula ubusuku; wenza neenkwenkwezi. IGenesis 1:16 Wamsa phandle, wathi, Khawujonge ezulwini, ubale iinkwenkwezi, ukuba unako ukuzibala. Wathi kuye, Iya kuba njalo ke imbewu yakho. IGenesis 15:5 Ukuba ndiya kukusikelela, ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, nanjengentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle, imbewu yakho ilidle ilifa isango leentshaba zayo; IGenesis 22:17 Ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, ndiyinike imbewu yakho onke la mazwe, kwaye ngembewu yakho zonke iintlanga zehlabathi ziya kusikelelwa; IGenesis 26:4 Waphinda waphupha elinye iphupha, walixelela abantakwabo, wathi, Yabonani, ndiphuphe elinye iphupha; kwaye ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi ezilishumi elinanye zaqubuda kum. IGenesis 37:9 Khumbula uAbraham, uIsake, noSirayeli, abakhonzi bakho, owazifunga ngabo, wathi kubo, Ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yenu ibe njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, nalo lonke eli lizwe ndithethileyo ngalo ndiya kulinika imbewu yenu, balidle ilifa ngonaphakade. IEksodus 32:13 Ndiya kumbona, kodwa kungekhona ngoku; ndiya kumjonga, kodwa kungekhona kufutshane: kuya kuphuma inkwenkwezi kuYakobi, nentonga yobukhosi iya kuvela kwaSirayeli, iwabethe amaMowabhi, iwatshabalalise onke amaSheti. INUMERI 24:17 UYehova uThixo wenu unandisile, nanku namhla ningangeenkwenkwezi zezulu ukuba baninzi kwenu. IDuteronomi 1:10 hleze uphakamisele amehlo akho ezulwini, uze xa ubona ilanga, nenyanga, neenkwenkwezi, wonke umkhosi wezulu, uqhutywe ukuba uzinqule, uzikhonze, ezo uYehova uThixo wakho azabele zonke iintlanga phantsi kwezulu lonke. IDuteronomi 4:19

I-Selenology yeBhayibhile - Inyanga Ekhanyayo Xa ndicinga ngezulu lakho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga neenkwenkwezi, ozimisileyo; Uyintoni na umntu, le nto umkhumbulayo, nonyana womntu, le nto umnyamekelayo? INdumiso 8:3-4

Ooyihlo behla baya eYiputa bengabantu abangamashumi asixhenxe; ke ngoku uYehova uThixo wakho ukwenze waba baninzi njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu. IDuteronomi 10:22 Niya kusala nimbalwa, nangona naningangeenkwenkwezi zezulu ungaliphulaphulanga ilizwi likaYehova uThixo wakho. IDuteronomi 28:62

ngobuninzi;

ngokuba

Imbali Zalwa ezulwini, Iinkwenkwezi ezindleleni zazo zalwa noSisera. Abagwebi 5:20 UDavide akabali inani labo, ukususela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabini nangaphantsi; kuba uYehova wayethe uya kuwandisa amaSirayeli njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu. 1 Kronike 27:23 Sasebenza ke emsebenzini; isiqingatha sabo sasiphethe izikhali, ukususela ekuphumeni kokusa kude kube sekuphumeni kweenkwenkwezi. UNehemiya 4:21 Abantwana babo wabandisa njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, wabazisa ezweni owalithembisa ooyise ukuba baza kungena kulo balidle ilifa. UNehemiya 9:23 Iinkwenkwezi zomsobomvu walo mazibe mnyama; Malungabuboni ukukhanya kwemini. UYobhi 3:9

Malufune

ukukhanya,

lungabikho;

Uloyalela ilanga lingaphumi, Azitywine iinkwenkwezi. UYobhi 9:7 UThixo akakho na phezulu ezulwini? Jonga ukuphakama kweenkwenkwezi, ukuba ziphakame kangakanani na! UYobhi 22:12 Khangela enyangeni, ayikhanyi; ewe, iinkwenkwezi azicocekanga emehlweni akhe. UYobhi 25:5 Xa iinkwenkwezi zakusasa zacula kunye, nabo bonke oonyana bakaThixo bakhwaza ngovuyo? UYobhi 38:7

Imibongo Xa ndiqwalasela amazulu akho, umsebenzi weminwe yakho, inyanga neenkwenkwezi ozimisileyo, ungubani umntu, ukuba umkhumbule, nonyana womntu, ukuba umvelele? INdumiso 8:3-4 Inyanga neenkwenkwezi zilawule ebusuku: Ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. INdumiso 136:9 Ubala inani leenkwenkwezi, uzibiza zonke ngamagama azo. INdumiso 147:4 Mdumiseni, langa nenyanga; mdumiseni, nonke inkwenkwezi zokukhanya. INdumiso 148:3 Mhla ilanga, nokukhanya, nenyanga, neenkwenkwezi, zingabi mnyama, namafu engabuyi emva kwemvula; INtshumayeli 12:2

Isiprofeto Kuba iinkwenkwezi zezulu kunye neenkwenkwezi zazo aziyi kukhanyisa; ilanga liya kuba mnyama ekuphumeni kwalo, kwaye inyanga ayiyi kukhanyisa ukukhanya kwayo. UIsaya 13:10 Ngokuba uthe entliziyweni yakho, Ndiya kunyuka ndiye ezulwini, ndiyiphakamise itrone yam ngaphezu kweenkwenkwezi zikaThixo; ndiya kuhlala entabeni yebandla, emaphethelweni asentla; UIsaya 14:13 Udiniwe bubuninzi bamacebo akho, mabame ngoku abavumisi ngeenkwenkwezi, abajongiinkwenkwezi, nababikezeli benyanga, bakusindise kwezi zinto ziza kukufikela. UIsaya 47:13 Utsho uYehova, uMniki welanga, ukuba libe lukhanyiso emini, uMniki wemimiselo yenyanga neenkwenkwezi, ukuba zibe lukhanyiso ebusuku, uMniki wolwandle, ukuba amaza alo agqume, ukuthi: NguYehova wemikhosi igama lakhe; UYeremiya 31:35 Xa ndikucima, ndiya kuligubungela izulu, ndizenze mnyama iinkwenkwezi zalo; ndiya kuligubungela ilanga ngelifu, nenyanga ingakhanyisi. UHezekile 32:7 Yakhula yada yafikelela nakumkhosi wezulu; yaphosa phantsi inxalenye yomkhosi neenkwenkwezi emhlabeni, yazinyathela. Daniyeli 8:10 Abo balumkileyo baya kukhazimla njengokukhanya kwesibhakabhaka, nabo bajika abaninzi babe bubulungisa njengeenkwenkwezi ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Daniyeli 12:3 Umhlaba uya kunyikima phambi kwabo, amazulu aya kunyikima; ilanga nenyanga ziya kuba mnyama, neenkwenkwezi ziya kurhoxisa ukukhanya kwazo; Yoweli 2:10 Ilanga nenyanga ziya kuba mnyama, neenkwenkwezi ziya kurhoxisa ukukhanya kwazo. UYoweli 3:15 Funani lowo wenza iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe neOrion, oguqula ithunzi lokufa libe kusasa, awenze imini ibe mnyama ngobusuku, obiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele phezu komhlaba: nguYehova igama lakhe. UAmosi 5:8 Kodwa nithwele umnquba kaMoloki wenu noKiyuni imifanekiso yenu, inkwenkwezi yothixo wenu, enazenzela nina. UAmosi 5:26 Nokuba uthe waphakama njengokhozi, nokuba uthe wabeka indlu yakho phakathi kweenkwenkwezi, ndiya kukuhlisa apho, utsho uYehova. UObhadiya 1:4 Ubandisile abarhwebi bakho ngaphezu kweenkwenkwezi zezulu; inkumbi iyaphanga, iphaphazele imke. UNAHUM 3:16

IiVangeli kunye neZenzo besithi, Uphi na lo kumkani wamaYuda ozelweyo? Kuba sibone inkwenkwezi yakhe empumalanga, size kumnqula. Waza uHerode, ebabizele ngasese izazi, wabuza kuzo ngenyameko ixesha lokubonakala kwenkwenkwezi. Bakuba bevile ukumkani, bahamba; nantso inkwenkwezi, 3

ababeyibonile empumalanga, ihamba phambi kwabo, yada yafika yema phezu kwendawo awayekuyo umntwana. Bathi bakuyibona inkwenkwezi, bavuya kakhulu. UMateyu 2:2 , 7 , 9, 10 Kwangoko ke, emva kwembandezelo yaloo mihla, ilanga liya kwenziwa mnyama, inyanga ingakhanyisi, neenkwenkwezi ziya kuwa ezulwini, namandla amazulu azanyazanyiswa. UMateyu 24:29 Iinkwenkwezi zezulu ziya kuwa, namandla asezulwini aya kuzanyazanyiswa. UMarko 13:25 Kuya kubakho imiqondiso elangeni, enyangeni, nasezinkwenkwezini; nasemhlabeni kubekho imbandezelo yeentlanga, zididekile; lugquma ulwandle namaza; ULuka 21:25 Ewe, nathabatha umnquba kaMoloki, nenkwenkwezi yothixo wenu uRemfan, imifanekiso enayenzayo ukuba niyinqule; ndiya kunifudusela ngaphaya kweBhabheli. IZenzo 7:43 Kwathi ke, kwakungabonakali langa nankwenkwezi kangangeentsuku ezininzi, kwanesaqhwithi esikhulu, lonke ithemba lokuba singasindiswa laphela. IZenzo 27:20

Iileta Kukho ubuqaqawuli belanga obunye, nobuqaqawuli benyanga obunye, nobuqaqawuli beenkwenkwezi obunye; kuba inkwenkwezi yahlukile kwenye inkwenkwezi ngobuqaqawuli. 1 kwabaseKorinte 15:41 Kungoko ke kwaphuma omnye, naye efana nofileyo, uninzi lwazo lunjengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, nanjengentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle, lungenakubalwa. Hebhere 11:12 Kananjalo sinelizwi lesiprofeto eliqinisekileyo ngakumbi, enityaphayo ukulinyamekela, njengesibane esikhanyisa endaweni emnyama, kude kuse, liphume ikhwezi ezintliziyweni zenu; 2 Petros 1:19 Amaza alwayo olwandle, evuthela ihlazo lawo; iinkwenkwezi ezibhadulayo, ezigcinelwe ubumnyama bobumnyama ngonaphakade. UYuda 1:13

ISityhilelo Wayephethe iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe esandleni sakhe sokunene, emlonyeni wakhe kwaphuma ikrele elibukhali elintlangothi-mbini, ubuso bakhe bunjengelanga elikhanya ngamandla alo. Imfihlakalo yeenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe ozibonileyo esandleni sam sokunene, neziphatho zezibane zegolide ezisixhenxe. Iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe zizithunywa zamabandla asixhenxe; neziphatho zezibane ezisixhenxe ozibonileyo zibandla ezisixhenxe. ISityhilelo 1:16 , 20 “Kuba ingelosi yebandla lase-Efese, bhala uthi: ‘Utsho lowo uphethe iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe esandleni sakhe sokunene, ohamba phakathi kweziphatho zezibane zegolide ezisixhenxe; ISityhilelo 2:1 Kwaye ndiya kumnika ikhwezi lokusa. ISityhilelo 2:28

Isithunywa sebandla laseSardesi sibhalele uthi: “Utsho lowo uneoMoya abasixhenxe bakaThixo, neenkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe, ukuthi: Ndiyazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuba unegama lokuba uphilile, ukanti ufile.” ISityhilelo 3:1 Iinkwenkwezi zezulu zawela emhlabeni, njengokuba umkhiwane uvuthulula amakhiwane awo angekavuthwa, xa ushukunyiswa ngumoya onamandla. ISityhilelo 6:13 Ingelosi yesithathu yavuthela ixilongo, kwawa inkwenkwezi enkulu ezulwini, ivutha njengesibane, yawela phezu kwesithathu semilambo, naphezu kwemithombo yamanzi; Igama lenkwenkwezi kuthiwa yiMhlonyane; isahlulo sesithathu samanzi saba ngumhlonyane; abantu abaninzi bafa ngamanzi, ngokuba enziwe krakra. Isithunywa sesine savuthela ixilongo, saza sabethwa isahlulo sesithathu selanga, nesahlulo sesithathu senyanga, nesahlulo sesithathu seenkwenkwezi, ukuze isahlulo sesithathu sazo sibe mnyama, imini ingakhanyi isahlulo sesithathu sayo, nobusuku ngokunjalo. ISityhilelo 8: 10-12 Ingelosi yesihlanu yavuthela ixilongo, ndaza ndabona inkwenkwezi iwile ezulwini yaya emhlabeni, yaza yanikwa isitshixo sesihogo esingenasiphelo. ISityhilelo 9:1 Kwabonakala umqondiso omkhulu ezulwini: umfazi enxibe ilanga, inyanga iphantsi kweenyawo zakhe, entloko yakhe isithsaba seenkwenkwezi ezilishumi elinambini. Umsila wayo wawurhola isiqingatha sesithathu seenkwenkwezi zezulu, waziphosa emhlabeni; yaza inamba yema phambi komfazi owayeza kuzala, ukuze imqwenge umntwana wakhe xa ezelwe. ISityhilelo 12:1 , 4 Mna, Yesu, ndithumile isithunywa sam ukuba siningqinele ezi zinto emabandleni. Mna ndiyingcambu nenzala kaDavide, ndiyinkwenkwezi ekhanyayo neyokusa. ISityhilelo 22:16

I-Apocrypha Ngomhla wesine wayalela ukuba mazilungelelane. 2 Esdras 6:45

Nokuba ubuso babo baye bazibamba buya kukhanya ngaphezu kweenkwenkwezi, ngoxa ubuso bethu buya kuba mnyama ngaphezu kobumnyama? 2 Esdras 7:55 Baya kubethana, baze batshabalalise inkitha enkulu yeenkwenkwezi emhlabeni, inkwenkwezi yabo; kwaye igazi liya kuba ligazi ukususela ekreleni ukuya esiswini, Kuya kuvela imimoya enamandla evela empuma, iyivule; kwaye ilifu aliphakamisileyo ngomsindo, kunye neenkwenkwezi ezivuselelwe ukubangela uloyiko oluya empuma nasentshona, ziya kutshatyalaliswa. Amafu amakhulu nanamandla aya kukhukhumala azele yingqumbo, kunye neenkwenkwezi, ukuze zibangele uloyiko kuwo wonke umhlaba, kunye nabo bahlala kuwo; kwaye baya kuthulula phezu kwayo yonke indawo ephakamileyo nephakamileyo inkwenkwezi eyoyikekayo, Baya kuza kuyo, bayirhawule, inkwenkwezi nayo yonke ingqumbo baya kuyithululela phezu kwayo; emva koko uthuli nomsi ziya kunyukela ezulwini, nabo bonke abakungqongileyo baya kuyililela. 2 Esdras 15:35 ,39-40,44 Ngelizwi lakhe iinkwenkwezi zenziwe, kwaye uyalazi inani lazo. 2 Esdras 16:56 Iisekethe zeminyaka, kunye neendawo zeenkwenkwezi: Ubulumko bukaSolomon 7:19

Kuba mhle ngaphezu kwelanga, kwaye ngaphezu kwayo yonke iinkwenkwezi: xa kuthelekiswa nokukhanya, ufumaneka phambi kwayo. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 7:29 Wabanika abalungileyo umvuzo womsebenzi wabo, wabakhokela ngendlela emangalisayo, waba sisigqubuthelo kubo emini, nokukhanya kweenkwenkwezi ebusuku; Ubulumko bukaSolomon 10:17 Kodwa bacinga ukuba umlilo, okanye umoya, okanye umoya okhawulezayo, okanye isangqa seenkwenkwezi, okanye amanzi anamandla, okanye izibane zezulu, ngoothixo abalawula ihlabathi. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 13:2 Akukho mandla omlilo ayenokubakhanyisela: namalangatye akhanyayo eenkwenkwezi ayengenakukwazi ukumelana nokukhanya kobo busuku bubi. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 17:5 Ubuhle bezulu, ubuqaqawuli beenkwenkwezi, isihombo esikhanyisa kwiindawo eziphakamileyo zeNkosi. INtshumayeli 43:9 Ngoko ke wamqinisekisa ngesifungo, esithi uya kuzisikelela iintlanga ngembewu yakhe, nokuba uya kumandisa njengothuli lomhlaba, ayiphakamise imbewu yakhe njengeenkwenkwezi, ayinike ilifa ukususela elwandle ukuya elwandle, ukusuka emlanjeni ukuya esiphelweni somhlaba. INtshumayeli 44:21 Wayenjengekhwezi lokusa phakathi kwelifu, nanjengenyanga epheleleyo. INtshumayeli 50:6 Iinkwenkwezi zakhanya emilindweni yazo, zavuya; xa ezibizayo, zithi, Silapha; ngoko ke ngovuyo zabonakalisa ukukhanya kulowo wazidalayo. UBharuki 3:34 Kuba ilanga, inyanga, neenkwenkwezi, njengoko zikhanya kwaye zithunywe ukuba zenze imisebenzi yazo, ziyathobela. Ileta kaYeremiya 1:60 Owathetha nabo, wabathembisa ukuba uya kuyandisa imbewu yabo njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, nanjengentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle. Umthandazo ka-Azariya 1:13 Nina nkwenkwezi zezulu, mbongeni uYehova: mdumiseni nimphakamise ngaphezu kwayo yonke into ngonaphakade. Umthandazo ka-Azariya 1:41 Kwaye loo mntu, owayecinga ukuba ngaphambi kokuba afikelele kwiinkwenkwezi zezulu, akukho mntu wayenokunyamezela ukulithwala ngenxa yevumba lakhe elinganyamezelekiyo. 2 Maccabees 9:10

UEnoki Kwaye ndaboniswa umbono ngolu hlobo: Khangela, embonweni amafu andimema kwaye inkungu yandibiza, kwaye ukuhamba kweenkwenkwezi kunye nemibane kwandikhawulezisa, kwaye imimoya embonweni yandibangela ukuba ndibhabhe kwaye yandiphakamisa, yandithwala yaya ezulwini. Uphahla lwayo lwalufana nendlela yeenkwenkwezi kunye nemibane, kwaye phakathi kwazo kwakukho iikherubhi ezivuthayo, kwaye izulu lazo lalicwebe njengamanzi. Kwaye umgangatho walo wawungumlilo, kwaye ngaphezulu kwawo kwakukho imibane kunye nendlela yeenkwenkwezi, kwaye nophahla lwalo lwalungumlilo ovuthayo. UEnoki 14:8,11,17

Ndabona iindawo zezibane, iindawo zokugcina iinkwenkwezi, neendudumo, nakwiindawo ezinzulu, apho kwakukho isaphetha esivuthayo, iintolo, umqolomba wazo, nekrele elivuthayo, nayo yonke imibane. Enoki 17:3 Ndabona imimoya yezulu ijika ize izise umjikelo welanga nazo zonke iinkwenkwezi ekutshoneni kwazo. Ndabona apho iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe ezifana neentaba ezinkulu ezivuthayo, kwaye kum, xa ndibuza ngazo, ingelosi yathi: 'Le ndawo yisiphelo sezulu nomhlaba: le ibe yindawo yokugcina iinkwenkwezi nomkhosi wezulu. Kwaye iinkwenkwezi eziqengqeleka phezu komlilo ngabo baphule umyalelo weNkosi ekuqaleni kokuvela kwazo, kuba azizange ziphume ngexesha lazo elimiselweyo.' Enoki 18:4,12-14 Ndabona apho iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe zezulu zidityaniswe ndawonye, njengeentaba ezinkulu, zivutha ngumlilo. Ezi zezona nkwenkwezi zezulu, eziye zaphula umyalelo weNkosi, zaza zabotshwa apha, de kwaphela iminyaka eliwaka elishumi, ixesha elibangelwa zizono zazo. UEnoki 21:3,6 Ndabona indlela iinkwenkwezi zezulu eziphuma ngayo, ndaza ndabala amasango apho ziphuma khona, ndaza ndabhala phantsi yonke iminyango yazo, yinkwenkwezi nganye nganye ngokwayo, ngokwenani lazo, namagama azo, iindlela zazo, neendawo zazo, namaxesha azo, neenyanga zazo, njengoko u-Uriel ingelosi engcwele eyayinam wandibonisa. UEnoki 33:3 Ngaphakathi kwezi sango zincinci kudlula iinkwenkwezi zezulu zize zibalekele entshona kwindlela eziboniswa yona. UEnoki 36:3 Ndabona eminye imibane neenkwenkwezi zezulu, ndaza ndabona indlela awabiza ngayo zonke ngamagama azo, zaza zamphulaphula. UEnoki 43:1 Kwakhona enye into endiyibonileyo malunga nemibane: indlela ezinye iinkwenkwezi eziphuma ngayo zibe yimibane kwaye zingenakwahlukana nemo yazo entsha. UEnoki 44:1 Aba ngabo bagweba iinkwenkwezi zezulu, Baphakamise izandla zabo nxamnye noPhezukonke, Banyathele emhlabeni baze bahlale kuwo. Zonke izenzo zabo zibonakalisa ukungalungi, Amandla abo axhomekeke kubutyebi babo, Ukholo lwabo lukoothixo ababenze ngezandla zabo, Baye bayalikhanyela igama leNkosi yemimoya, Baye batshutshisa izindlu zamabandla akhe, Nabathembekileyo abaxhomekeke egameni leNkosi yemimoya. UEnoki 46:7-8 Ewe, ngaphambi kokuba kudalwe ilanga nemiqondiso, Ngaphambi kokuba kwenziwe iinkwenkwezi zezulu, igama lakhe laqanjwa phambi kweNkosi yoMoya. (Enoki 48:3) Neegumbi zomoya, nendlela umoya owahlulwe ngayo, nendlela olinganiswa ngayo, nendlela amasango omoya abalwa ngayo, ngalinye ngokwamandla omoya, namandla okukhanya kwenyanga, nangamandla afanelekileyo: kunye nokwahlulwa kweenkwenkwezi ngokwamagama azo, nendlela zonke izahlulo ezahlulwe ngayo. Enoki 60:12 Kwaye ngaloo sifungo iinkwenkwezi zigqibezela indlela yazo, Kwaye uzibiza ngamagama azo, Kwaye ziyamphendula ukususela ephakadeni ukuya ephakadeni. Enoki 69:21 Wandibonisa zonke iimfihlo ezisekupheleni kwezulu, namagumbi onke eenkwenkwezi zonke, nazo zonke izikhanyiso, apho zivela khona phambi kwabangcwele. Enoki 71:4

Ndabona iingcango ezintandathu apho ilanga liphuma khona, neengcango ezintandathu apho ilanga litshona khona nenyanga iphuma ize itshone kwezi ngcango, neenkokheli zeenkwenkwezi kunye nabo bazikhokelayo: ezintandathu empuma nezintandathu entshona, kwaye zonke zilandelana ngokulandelelana ngokuchanekileyo: kunye neefestile ezininzi ngasekunene nangasekhohlo kwezi ngcango. UEnoki 72:3 Kwaye ubuninzi belanga neenkwenkwezi bufikelela kwiintsuku ezintandathu: kwiminyaka emi-5 iintsuku ezi-6 minyaka le zifikelela kwiintsuku ezingama-30: kwaye inyanga iwela emva kwelanga neenkwenkwezi ukuya kwinani leentsuku ezingama-30. Kwaye ilanga neenkwenkwezi zizisa yonke iminyaka ngokuchanekileyo, ukuze zingahambi okanye zilibazise indawo yazo ngosuku olunye ngonaphakade; kodwa zigqibe iminyaka ngobulungisa obugqibeleleyo kwiintsuku ezingama-364. UEnoki 74:11-12 Kwaye iinkokheli zeentloko zamawaka, ezibekwe phezu kwendalo yonke naphezu kweenkwenkwezi zonke, nazo zinxulumene neentsuku ezine ezidityanisiweyo, ezingahlukaniswanga nesikhundla sazo, ngokwenani lonyaka, kwaye ezi zikhonza kwiintsuku ezine ezingabalwanga ekubalweni konyaka. UEnoki 75:1 Kuba imiqondiso namaxesha neminyaka nemihla ingelosi u-Uriyeli eyandibonisa yona, iNkosi yozuko eyimise ngonaphakade phezu kwazo zonke izikhanyiso zezulu, ezulwini nasemhlabeni, ukuze zilawule phezu kobuso bezulu kwaye zibonakale emhlabeni, kwaye zibe ziinkokheli zemini nobusuku, oko kukuthi ilanga, inyanga, neenkwenkwezi, nazo zonke izidalwa ezikhonzayo ezenza ukujikeleza kwazo kuzo zonke iinqwelo zezulu. UEnoki 75:3 Ngokuphathelele iingcango ezilishumi elinambini ezulwini, eziphelweni zomhlaba, apho kuphuma khona ilanga, inyanga, neenkwenkwezi, nayo yonke imisebenzi yezulu empuma nasentshona. Kukho iifestile ezininzi ezivulekileyo ngasekhohlo nasekunene kwazo, kwaye ifestile enye ngexesha layo elimiselweyo ivelisa ubushushu, obufana nala masango apho iinkwenkwezi ziphuma khona njengoko eziyalele, kwaye apho zibekwe khona ngokwenani lazo. Ndabona iinqwelo zemfazwe ezulwini, zibaleka ehlabathini, ngaphezu kwezo ngcango apho iinkwenkwezi ezijikelezayo khona zingatshoni. Kwaye enye inkulu kunazo zonke ezinye, kwaye yiyo leyo ehambahambayo kwihlabathi liphela. UEnoki 75:6-9 UEnoki 79 1 Ngoku ke, nyana wam, ndikubonisile yonke into, kwaye umthetho weenkwenkwezi zonke zezulu ugqityiwe. 2 Wandibonisa yonke imithetho yale mihla ngemihla, nangamaxesha onke okulawula, nangonyaka ngamnye, nangokuphuma kwawo, nangomyalelo omiselweyo kuyo inyanga neveki nganye: 3 Nokufiphala kwenyanga okwenzeka esangweni lesithandathu: kuba kweli sango lesithandathu ukukhanya kwayo kugqityiwe, kwaye emva koko kukho ukuqala kokufiphala: 4 Kwaye ukuncipha okwenzekayo esangweni lokuqala ngexesha lalo, kude kuphele iintsuku ezilikhulu elinamashumi asixhenxe anesixhenxe: kubalwa ngokweeveki, iiveki ezingamashumi amabini anesihlanu kunye neentsuku ezimbini. 5 Iwela emva kwelanga nolandelelwano lweenkwenkwezi iintsuku ezintlanu kanye ngexesha elinye, kwaye xa le ndawo uyibonayo ihanjiwe. 6 Le yimifanekiso nomzobo wazo zonke izikhanyiso u-Uriel ingelosi enkulu, oyinkokeli yazo, andibonise zona. Ngaloo mihla ingelosi u-Uriyeli yaphendula yathi kum: Khangela, ndikubonisile yonke into, Enoki, kwaye ndikutyhilele yonke into ukuze ubone eli langa nale nyanga, kunye neenkokheli 8

zeenkwenkwezi zezulu kunye nabo bonke abazijikayo, imisebenzi yabo kunye namaxesha kunye nokuhamba. Enoki 80:1 Kwaye iintloko ezininzi zeenkwenkwezi ziya kuyigqitha imiqathango ebekiweyo. Kwaye ezi ziya kutshintsha imijikelo yazo nemisebenzi yazo, Zingabonakali ngamaxesha amiselweyo kuzo. Kwaye yonke imiqathango yeenkwenkwezi iya kufihlwa kwaboni, Neengcinga zabantu abasemhlabeni ziya kuphambuka kuzo, Kwaye baya kuguqulwa kuzo zonke iindlela zabo, Ewe, baya kuphambuka baze babathathe njengoothixo. Enoki 80:6-7 Banoyolo bonke abalungileyo, banoyolo bonke abo bahamba ngendlela yobulungisa kwaye bangoni njengababoni, ngokubala yonke imihla yabo apho ilanga lihamba khona izulu, lingena kwaye liphuma kwiingcango iintsuku ezingamashumi amathathu kunye neentloko zamawaka eenkwenkwezi, kunye nezine ezidibeneyo ezahlulahlula iindawo ezine zonyaka, ezizikhokelayo kwaye zingena nazo iintsuku ezine. UEnoki 82:4 Kwaye unamandla phezu kobusuku nemini esibhakabhakeni okwenza ukuba ukukhanya kukhanyisele abantu—ilanga, inyanga neenkwenkwezi, nawo onke amandla ezulu ajikeleza kwiinqwelo zawo ezijikelezayo. Kwaye le yimiyalelo yeenkwenkwezi, ezihlala kwiindawo zazo, nangamaxesha azo, nemibhiyozo neenyanga. UEnoki 82:8-9 Ndathi ndakuphuma ezantsi ndaza ndabona izulu, nelanga liphuma empuma, nenyanga itshona entshona, neenkwenkwezi ezimbalwa, nomhlaba wonke, nayo yonke into awayeyazi ekuqaleni, ndaza ndayibonga iNkosi yomgwebo ndayidumisa kuba yayenza ilanga laphuma kwiifestile zasempuma, yaza yenyuka yaya phezulu ebusweni bezulu, yaza yahamba yaqhubeka nendlela eyayiboniswe yona. Enoki 83:11 Ndaphinda ndabona ngamehlo am njengoko ndandilele, ndaza ndabona izulu phezulu, ndaza ndabona inkwenkwezi iwile ezulwini, yavuka yatya yaza yadla phakathi kwezo nkomo. Emva koko ndabona iinkomo ezinkulu nezimnyama, zaza zonke zatshintsha izitali zazo namadlelo azo kunye neenkomo zazo, zaza zaqala ukuhlala kunye. Ndaphinda ndabona embonweni, ndaza ndajonga ezulwini, ndaza ndabona iinkwenkwezi ezininzi zisihla zaza zaziphosela phantsi zisuka ezulwini zaya kuloo nkwenkwezi yokuqala, zaza zaba ziinkunzi phakathi kwezo nkomo zaza zadla nazo phakathi kwazo. UEnoki 86:1-3 Omnye wathi kum: Hlala apha ude ubone yonke into eyenzeka kwezi ndlovu, iinkamela, neeesile, neenkwenkwezi neenkomo, nazo zonke ezo zinto. Enoki 87:4 Ndabona omnye wabo bane baphuma kuqala, waza wabamba inkwenkwezi yokuqala eyayiwile ezulwini, wayibopha izandla neenyawo, wayiphosa enzonzobileni: ngoku loo nzonzobileni yayimxinwa, inzulu, imbi kakhulu kwaye imnyama. Omnye wabo warhola ikrele, walinika ezo ndlovu, iinkamela, namaesile: baza baqalisa ukubethana, umhlaba wonke wanyikima ngenxa yabo. Njengoko ndandibona embonweni, khangela, omnye wabo bane baphuma wabaxuluba ngamatye ezulwini, waza waqokelela waza wathabatha zonke iinkwenkwezi ezinkulu ezazinamalungu angaphakathi afana namahashe, waza wazibopha zonke izandla neenyawo, waza waziphosa enzonzobileni yomhlaba. UEnoki 88:1-3 INkosi yabiza loo madoda asixhenxe okuqala amhlophe, yaza yayalela ukuba azise phambi kwayo, eqala ngenkwenkwezi yokuqala eyayikhokela indlela, zonke iinkwenkwezi ezazinamalungu angaphakathi afana nawamahashe, zaza zawazisa onke phambi kwayo. Enoki 90:21

Kwaye umgwebo wabanjwa kuqala phezu kweenkwenkwezi, baza bagwetywa baza bafunyanwa benetyala, baza baya kwindawo yomgwebo, baza baphoswa enzonzobileni, egcwele umlilo nomlilo, kwaye izele ziintsika zomlilo. Enoki 90:24 Okanye kukho nabani na onokuqonda ubude bezulu, nokuba bukhulu kangakanani na ukuphakama kwalo, nokuba lisekwe phezu kwentoni na, nokuba likhulu kangakanani na inani leenkwenkwezi, nokuba zonke izikhanyiso zimi phi na? Enoki 93:14 Ngoku ke, yazini ukuba uza kubuza kwiingelosi ngezenzo zenu ezulwini, elangeni nasenyangeni nasezinkwenkwezini ngokubhekisele kwizono zenu kuba emhlabeni nigweba amalungisa. (Enoki 100:10)

IJasher IJasher 8 1 Kwaye ngobo busuku uAbram wazalwa ngabo, bonke abakhonzi bakaTera, nazo zonke izilumko zikaNimrod, kunye namaqili akhe beza badla basela endlwini kaTera, baza bavuya naye ngobo busuku. 2 Kwaye xa zonke izilumko kunye nabakhafuli baphuma endlwini kaTera, baphakamisa amehlo abo ezulwini ngobo busuku ukuze bajonge iinkwenkwezi, baza babona, kwaye khangela inkwenkwezi enye enkulu kakhulu ivela empuma kwaye ibaleka emazulwini, kwaye yaziginya iinkwenkwezi ezine kumacala omane amazulu. 3 Zonke izilumko zokumkani kunye neengcali zakhe zamangaliswa ngulo mbono, kwaye izilumko zayiqonda le nto, kwaye zaziqonda ukubaluleka kwayo. 4 Bathi omnye komnye, Oku kubonisa kuphela umntwana ozelwe nguTera ngobo busuku, oya kukhula aze aqhame, ande, aze alidle ilifa lonke ilizwe, yena nabantwana bakhe ngonaphakade, kwaye yena nembewu yakhe baya kubulala ookumkani abakhulu, baze balidle ilifa ilizwe labo. 5 Kwaye amadoda azizilumko namaqili abuyela emakhaya ngobo busuku, kwaye kusasa onke la madoda azizilumko namaqili avuka kusasa, aza ahlanganisana endlwini ethile. 6 Bathetha omnye komnye, bathi, Yabonani, umbono esiwubonileyo izolo ebusuku ufihliwe kukumkani, akawuxelelwanga. 7 Ukuba le nto inokuthi ivele kukumkani ngemihla yokugqibela, uya kuthi kuthi, Kutheni na nindifihlele le nto, size ke sonke sife; ke ngoko, masihambe siye kumxelela ukumkani umbono esiwubonileyo, nentsingiselo yawo, size ke sihlale sicacile. 8 Bakwenza oko, baza bonke baya kukumkani baqubuda kuye emhlabeni, bathi, Makaphile ukumkani, makaphile ukumkani. 9 Sivile ukuba uTera unyana kaNahore, inkosana yomkhosi wakho, uzalelwe unyana, saza safika endlwini yakhe izolo ebusuku, sadla sasela, savuya naye ngobo busuku. 10 Kwaye xa abakhonzi bakho baphuma endlwini kaTera, besiya emakhayeni ethu ukuze bahlale apho ubusuku, saphakamisa amehlo ethu ezulwini, saza sabona inkwenkwezi enkulu ivela empuma, kwaye inkwenkwezi efanayo yabaleka ngesantya esikhulu, yaza yaginya iinkwenkwezi ezine ezinkulu, ezivela kumacala omane amazulu. 11 Abakhonzi bakho bamangaliswa ngumbono esawubonayo, baza boyika kakhulu, saza sagqiba kwelokuba loo mbono, saza sazi ngobulumko bethu ukuba utoliko lwawo lufanelekile, ukuba le nto iphathelele umntwana ozelwe nguTera, oya kukhula aze ande kakhulu, aze abe namandla, aze abulale bonke ookumkani bomhlaba, aze azuze ilifa lawo onke amazwe abo, yena nembewu yakhe ngonaphakade.

UAbram wabona iinkwenkwezi nenyanga phambi kwakhe, wathi, Inene, lo nguThixo owadala umhlaba wonke kunye nomntu, kwaye khangela, aba bakhonzi bakhe ngoothixo abamngqongileyo: uAbram wakhonza inyanga waza wathandaza kuyo ubusuku bonke. Kwathi kusasa xa kwakukhanya kwaye ilanga likhanya emhlabeni njengesiqhelo, uAbram wabona zonke izinto uYehova uThixo azenzileyo emhlabeni. UAbram wathi kuye Inene, aba asingoothixo abenza umhlaba nabo bonke abantu, kodwa ngaba bakhonzi bakaThixo, kwaye uAbram wahlala endlwini kaNowa kwaye apho wayeyazi iNkosi neendlela zayo 'waza wakhonza iNkosi yonke imihla yobomi bakhe, kwaye sonke eso sizukulwana samlibala iNkosi, sakhonza abanye oothixo bomthi namatye, saza savukela yonke imihla yaso. UJasher 9:17-19 Akufika uAbram, iingcali zokumkani nezilumko zambona uAbram, zaza zamemeza kukumkani, zisithi, Nkosi yethu ebalaseleyo, ngokuqinisekileyo le yindoda esiyaziyo ukuba yayingumntwana inkwenkwezi enkulu eyathi ekuzalweni kwakhe yaginya iinkwenkwezi ezine, esasizixelele ukumkani ngoku kwiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu ukususela ngoko. UJasher 12:9 Ke ngoko, ukuba uya kuliphulaphula ilizwi lam, ugcine imiyalelo yam, imimiselo yam, nemithetho yam, ndiya kuziwisa iintshaba zakho phambi kwakho, ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, ndiyithumele intsikelelo yam kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zakho, ungasweli nto. Suka ngoku, thabatha umfazi wakho, nayo yonke into onayo, uye ezweni laseKanan, uhlale khona, ndiya kuba nguThixo kuwe, ndikusikelele. Wasuka uAbram, wathabatha umfazi wakhe, nayo yonke into onayo, waya ezweni laseKanan njengoko uYehova wayemxelele; uAbram wayeneminyaka engamashumi amahlanu ubudala ekuphumeni kwakhe eHaran. Wafika uAbram ezweni laseKanan, wahlala phakathi komzi, wamisa intente yakhe phakathi kwabantwana baseKanan, abemi belo lizwe. UYehova wabonakala kuAbram, ekufikeni kwakhe ezweni laseKanan, wathi kuye, Eli lilizwe endakunika lona wena nembewu yakho emva kwakho ngonaphakade, ndiya kuyenza imbewu yakho ibe njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, ndinike imbewu yakho ibe lilifa lonke ilizwe olibonayo. UJasher 13:4-7 Ngelo xesha uYehova wabonakala kwakhona kuAbram eHebron, wathi kuye, Musa ukoyika, umvuzo wakho mkhulu kakhulu phambi kwam, kuba andiyi kukushiya, ndide ndikwandise, ndikusikelele, ndenze imbewu yakho ibe njengeenkwenkwezi zasezulwini, ezingenakulinganiswa, zingabalwa. Jasher 16:20 Wathi uIsake, Yehova, Thixo wezulu nomhlaba, wena ububele bakho nenceba yakho izalise ihlabathi, wena owamthabathayo ubawo endlwini kayise nasendaweni yakhe yokuzalwa, wamzisa kweli lizwe, wathi kuye, Ndiya kulinika imbewu yakho eli lizwe, waze wena wamthembisa, wathi kuye, Ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu nanjengentlabathi yolwandle, makaqiniseke amazwi akho owawathethayo kubawo. UJasher 26:6 Waphuma uYakobi, waqhubeka nendlela yakhe, waya eHaran, wafika entabeni yaseMoriya, walala apho ubusuku bonke kufutshane nomzi waseLuzi; uYehova wabonakala kuYakobi ngobo busuku, wathi kuye, NdinguYehova uThixo ka-Abraham noThixo kaIsake uyihlo; ilizwe olele kulo ndiya kulinika wena nembewu yakho. Yabona, ndinawe, ndiya kukugcina naphi na apho uya khona, ndiyandise imbewu yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, ndiziwise zonke iintshaba zakho phambi kwakho; xa zilwa nawe, aziyi kukweyisa, ndiya kukubuyisela kweli lizwe ngovuyo, nabantwana, nobutyebi obukhulu. Wavuka uYakobi ebuthongweni bakhe, wavuya kakhulu ngumbono awawubonayo; wathi igama laloo ndawo yiBheteli. UJasher 30:1-3

Abanye bazenza ngemifanekiso yabantu, yegolide neyesilivere, baze baye kuzo ngamaxesha abaziwa ngabo, kwaye imifanekiso ifumana impembelelo yeenkwenkwezi, kwaye ibaxelele izinto zexesha elizayo, kwaye ngale ndlela yayiyimifanekiso uRakeli ayiba kuyise. UJasher 31:43 NdinguYehova uThixo kayihlo uAbraham noThixo kaIsake, ndiya kulinika wena eli lizwe nembewu yakho emva kwakho, kwaye ndiya kwenza imbewu yakho ibe njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, kwaye uya kusasazeka kwiimbombo zone zezulu, kwaye kuwe nakwimbewu yakho zonke iintsapho zomhlaba ziya kusikelelwa. Jasher 32:17 UIsake unyana ka-Abraham wathandaza kuYehova ngenxa yoonyana bakhe, wathi, Nkosi Thixo, wathembisa ubawo, wathi, Ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, wandithembisa, waza waqinisekisa ilizwi lakho, ngoku ookumkani baseKanan behlangene, ukuze balwe nabantwana bam kuba abazange benze gonyamelo. Jasher 34:65 Emva koko uYosefu waphupha elinye iphupha, walixelela uyise iphupha phambi kwabazalwana bakhe, wathi uYosefu kuyise nakubazalwana bakhe, Yabonani, ndiphuphe kwakhona iphupha, ndibone ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi ezilishumi elinanye ziqubuda kum. UJasher 41:14 UIsake wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwabo bonke oonyana bakaYakobi, wababamba, wabagona, wababanga ngamnye ngamnye, waza uIsake wabasikelela ngaloo mini, wathi kubo, Ngamana uThixo wooyihlo anganisikelela, andise imbewu yenu njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, inani layo. UJasher 47:5 Wabayalela ukuba bazise phambi kwakhe imaphu yakhe yeenkwenkwezi, awayezazi rhoqo uYosefu, waza wathi kuBhenjamin, Ndivile ukuba amaHebhere ayazi yonke into, ngaba uyazi na le nto? Wathi uBhenjamin, Umkhonzi wakho uyazi nayo yonke into endiyifundiswe ngubawo, waza wathi kuBhenjamin, Khawujonge esi sixhobo uze uqonde apho ukhona umntakwenu uYosefu eYiputa, owathi wehla waya eYiputa. UBhenjamin wasibona eso sixhobo sinemifanekiso yeenkwenkwezi zezulu, waza waqonda kuso ukuze azi apho umntakwabo wayekhona, waza uBhenjamin wahlula lonke ilizwe laseYiputa laba ziindidi ezine, waza wafumanisa ukuba lowo wayehleli etroneni phambi kwakhe yayingumntakwabo uYosefu, waza uBhenjamin wamangaliswa kakhulu, waza uYosefu wabona ukuba umntakwenu uBhenjamin wayemangaliswe kakhulu, wathi kuBhenjamin, Ubone ntoni na, kwaye kutheni umangalisiwe? UJasher 53:18-20

IiJubhili Le misebenzi mine mikhulu uThixo wayidala ngomhla wesithathu. Ngomhla wesine wadala ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi, wazibeka esibhakabhakeni samazulu, ukuze zikhanyisele wonke umhlaba, zilawule imini nobusuku, zahlule ukukhanya ebumnyameni. IiYubheli 2:8 Wafumana umbhalo owawuqoshwe zizizukulwana zangaphambili edwaleni, waza wafunda oko kwakuwo, wawubhala phantsi waza wona ngenxa yawo; kuba wawuqulethe imfundiso yabalindi ababehlala begcina ngayo imiqondiso yelanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi kuyo yonke imiqondiso yezulu. IiYubheli 8:3 Kwaye ngeveki yesithandathu, kunyaka wesihlanu wayo, uAbram wahlala ubusuku bonke ngenyanga entsha yesixhenxe ukuze ajonge iinkwenkwezi ukususela ngokuhlwa ukuya kusasa, ukuze abone ukuba kuza kuba njani na unyaka malunga neemvula, kwaye wayeyedwa njengoko wayehleli ejonge. Kwafika ilizwi entliziyweni yakhe, wathi: Zonke iimpawu zeenkwenkwezi,

neempawu zenyanga nezelanga zonke zisesandleni seNkosi. Kutheni ndizifuna? Ukuba uyathanda, uyayinisa imvula kusasa nangokuhlwa; Kwaye ukuba uyathanda, uyayibamba, kwaye zonke izinto zisesandleni sakhe. IiJubhili 12:16-18 Wamkhuphela ngaphandle, wathi kuye: “Khangela ezulwini, ubale iinkwenkwezi, ukuba unako ukuzibala.” Wajonga ezulwini, wabona iinkwenkwezi. Wathi kuye: “Iya kuba njalo ke imbewu yakho.” Wakholwa kuYehova, kwaza oko kwabalelwa kuye njengobulungisa. IiJubhili 14:4-6 Wathi: Ndizifungile, itsho iNkosi, ngenxa yokuba uyenzile le nto, ungamgodlanga unyana wakho, unyana wakho othandekayo, kum, ukuba ndiya kukusikelela ngokukusikelela, ndiyandise imbewu yakho. Njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, nanjengentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle. Imbewu yakho iya kuzidla ilifa izixeko zeentshaba zayo, Kwaye ngembewu yakho zonke iintlanga zomhlaba ziya kusikelelwa; ngenxa yokuba uliphulaphule ilizwi lam, kwaye ndibabonisile bonke ukuba uthembekile kum kuko konke endikuthethileyo kuwe: Hamba ngoxolo. IiJubhili 18:15-16 Kuba ndiya kulinika wena nembewu yakho lonke eli lizwe, ndize ndisimise isifungo sam endasifungayo kuAbraham uyihlo, ndize ndiyandise imbewu yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, ndiyinike imbewu yakho lonke eli lizwe. IiJubhili 24:10 Kwaye ngamana angandisa oonyana bakho ngexesha lobomi bakho, kwaye ngamana bangavuka ngokwenani leenyanga zonyaka. Kwaye ngamana oonyana babo banganda baze babe baninzi ngaphezu kweenkwenkwezi zezulu, kwaye inani labo lingaphezulu kunentlabathi yolwandle. IiJubhili 25:16 Khumbulani, nyana bam, uYehova uThixo ka-Abraham uyihlo, nendlela endandimnqula ngayo, ndamkhonza ngobulungisa nangovuyo, ukuze anandise, andise imbewu yenu njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu ngobuninzi, animise emhlabeni njengesityalo sobulungisa esingayi kuncothulwa kuzo zonke izizukulwana ngonaphakade. IiYubheli 36:6

Iincwadi Ezilahlekileyo ZeBhayibhile Bathi, Uphi na ukumkani wamaYuda ozelweyo? Kuba sibone inkwenkwezi yakhe empumalanga, size kumnqula. Protevangelion 15:2 Baphendula bathi, Sibone inkwenkwezi enkulu ngokungaqhelekanga ikhanya phakathi kweenkwenkwezi zezulu, yaze yakhanya ngaphezu kwezinye iinkwenkwezi, kangangokuba azizange zibonakale, saza sazi ngaloo ndlela ukuba kuzalwe ukumkani omkhulu kwaSirayeli, ngoko ke size kumnqula. Ngoko ke izazi zaphuma, kwaye khangela, inkwenkwezi ezaziyibona empumalanga yahamba phambi kwazo, yada yafika yema phezu komqolomba apho umntwana wayekhona noMariya unina. IProtevangelion 15:7,9 Kwangaxeshanye kwabonakala kubo isithunywa sezulu esifana nenkwenkwezi eyayibakhokela kuhambo lwabo ngaphambili, ukukhanya ababekulandela de babuyela kwilizwe labo. 1 Iindaba Ezilungileyo Zobuntwana BukaYesu Kristu 3:3 Kodwa xa wayeza kumbona, wabona phakathi kwamehlo akhe iimpawu zeqhenqa njengeenkwenkwezi, waza emva koko wathi umtshato uphelile kwaye awusebenzi. 1 Iindaba ezilungileyo zobuntwana bukaYesu Kristu 12:9

Ngubani owalala engcwabeni efile, waza wehla weza kuthi ephila, kwaye ekufeni kwakho zonke izidalwa zangcangcazela, neenkwenkwezi zonke zashukuma, kwaye ngoku ukhululekile phakathi kwabafileyo, kwaye uphazamisa imikhosi yethu? IVangeli likaNikodemo 17:6 Waphinda wathi: UThixo wamkhupha uAbraham, wathi kuye: Khangela ezulwini, ubale iinkwenkwezi, ukuba unako ukuzibala; iya kuba njalo ke imbewu yakho. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 5:10 Ilanga nenyanga, nazo zonke iinkampani ezahlukeneyo kunye neenkwenkwezi, zihamba ngeendlela azibekele zona ngaxeshanye, zingaphambuki nakancinci kuzo. 1 Clement to the Corinthians 9:7 Nezinye izizwe zakhe azizange zibe nozuko luncinci: uThixo ethembisile ukuba imbewu yakho (utsho) iya kuba njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu. 1 Clement to the Corinthians 14:18 Uthini na ke ngoko athi, Waza waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe? Uthetha oku, xa uNyana wakhe eza kufika, aze alitshabalalise ixesha longendawo, aze agwebe abangahloneli Thixo; aze atshintshe ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi; aze ke aphumle ngozuko ngaloo mini yesixhenxe. Ileta Jikelele kaBarnabas 13:6 Wabonakala njani ke uMsindisi wethu ehlabathini? Inkwenkwezi yakhanya ezulwini ngaphaya kwezinye iinkwenkwezi, kwaye ukukhanya kwayo kwakungenakuchazwa, kwaye ubutsha bayo babangela uloyiko ezingqondweni zabantu. Zonke ezinye iinkwenkwezi, kunye nelanga nenyanga, zaziyingoma yale nkwenkwezi; kodwa leyo yathumela ukukhanya kwayo ngaphezu kwazo zonke. Kwaye abantu baqala ukukhathazeka ukucinga ukuba le nkwenkwezi intsha ivela phi ngokungafaniyo nezinye. Incwadi ka-Ignatius eya kwabase-Efese 4:11-12 Ngoku xa wayebethelwe esiphambanweni, kwabakho ubumnyama phezu kwehlabathi lonke, nelanga lafihlwa kangangesiqingatha semini, neenkwenkwezi zavela, kodwa akukho kukhanya kwabonakala kuzo; nenyanga yalahlekelwa kukukhanya kwayo, ngokungathi itshiswe ligazi; nehlabathi labangasekhoyo laginywa; kangangokuba indawo engcwele yetempile, njengoko beyibiza njalo, ayizange ibonakale kumaYuda ngokwawo ekuweni kwawo, kodwa abona umngxuma emhlabeni, kunye nokuduma kweendudumo ezilandelelanayo. Ngoku xa wayebethelwe esiphambanweni, kwafika ubumnyama phezu kwehlabathi lonke; ilanga lalifihliwe ngokupheleleyo, kwaye isibhakabhaka sabonakala simnyama kusesemini, kangangokuba iinkwenkwezi zabonakala, nangona zazisenokukhanya kwazo okufihlwe, ngoko ke, ndicinga ukuba ubuhle bakho abunakwazi ukuba kwihlabathi liphela bakhanyise izibane zabo ukususela kwiyure yesithandathu ukuya ngokuhlwa. Kwaye inyanga, eyayifana negazi, ayizange ikhanye ubusuku bonke, nangona yayigcwele, kwaye iinkwenkwezi kunye ne-Orion zalila ngamaYuda, ngenxa yesiphambeko esenziwe ngabo. Kwiileta zikaHerode noPilato

Iincwadi Ezilityaliweyo zase-Eden Bazise phambi kwam amadoda amakhulu nabalawuli beenkwenkwezi, bandibonisa iingelosi ezingamakhulu amabini, ezilawula iinkwenkwezi neenkonzo zazo ezulwini, zibhabha ngamaphiko azo zijikeleze bonke abo bahamba ngenqanawa. Iimfihlo zikaEnoki 4:1 Indlela ehamba ngayo kunye nokubuya kwayo ihamba neenkwenkwezi ezine ezinkulu, kwaye inkwenkwezi nganye ineenkwenkwezi eziliwaka phantsi kwayo, ngasekunene kwevili lelanga,
