Iyini ipayipi yaseJeriko

Ngezinye izikhathi ungase uzwe kubantu ngokuphathelene nale nkulumo: "Niyamemeza ngokuqondile, njengepipi leJeriko!" Kulesi sihloko sizozama ukucacisa incazelo yale nkulumo. Ake sithole ukuthi yiyiphi "ipayipi yaseJeriko" yi-incazelo yale nkulumo. Ukuze wenze lokhu, kuzodingeka uhambe uye esidlule. Futhi usitshele ngesenzakalo esibhekene nalokho okushiwo isithakazelo kithi, iBhayibheli.

Umthombo wolwazi okukhulunywe ngenhla usesikhathini sethu cishe kuzo zonke izindlu. Abanikazi beBhayibheli bangakholelwa kuNkulunkulu noma ukungabaza, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi izenzakalo ezihlobene negama elithi "icilongo laseJeriko" likhona ngempela. Indaba yeBhayibheli ichazwa eNcwadini kaJoshuwa. Lo mphathi-mlawuli, owayengumsizi nomfundi womprofethi uMose.

Mhlawumbe wonke umuntu uyazi indaba yeBhayibheli yokuthi uMose wahola kanjani abantu base-Israyeli ehlane iminyaka engama-40, futhi abantu babelokhu bekhononda: babengenalo ukudla okwanele noma amanzi, benza ithole legolide esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu. Lezi zenzakalo zichazwa ngale ndlela: abantu bakwa-Israyeli baphuma ebugqilini baseGibhithe, kodwa ubugqila kuphela abuzange buphume ezinhliziyweni zabantu. Babeziphatha njengezigqila, beqhubeka behlubuka ngokumelene nomprofethi uMose, beveza ukungajabuli kwabo ngesikhathi esincane. Akunzima ukuqagela ukuthi "labo balwa" abanqobayo ezweni, uNkulunkulu ayekuthembise u-Abrahama, kwakungenakwenzeka.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abantu abanomoya wokugqilaza, bafa ehlane, futhi izingane zabo - isizukulwane esisha, zivuthiwe ngokwanele ukungena eZweni Lesithembiso. Umprofethi uMose naye wafa, wamncenga uJoshuwa ukuba aqine futhi abe nesibindi, nokuletha abantu eKhanani. Manje iNinin waba umholi wabantu, futhi uNkulunkulu wafakaza igunya lakhe ngezimangaliso ezehlukene. Kuzodingeka sikhiphe imininingwane ethile ngenxa yokwanda kwayo. Kodwa uJoshuwa kanye nebutho lesizukulwane esisha banquma ukuhlasela izwe laseKhanani ngokuthanda kukaMose noNkulunkulu.

Futhi, ngemva kokuthumela ama-scouts, umphathi omkhulu waya emzini, obizwa ngeJeriko. Ngokushesha sizofunda ukuthi yiyiphi "ipayipi yaseJeriko", ikakhulukazi amapayipi, kodwa okwamanje - ukubekezela okuncane. Leli dolobha laliqinile kakhulu futhi lizungezwe izindonga ezinamandla. Eqinisweni, kwakuyisiqine esingenakunqotshwa sosayizi omkhulu.

UNkulunkulu uphendukela kuJoshuwa futhi uqinisekisa umlawuli ukuthi ngokungangabazeki uzowina ukunqoba okukhulu. Isu elihlongozwayo leNkosi lokuqhuba ukuvimbezelwa kwenqaba kwakungavamile. Ubupristi nabantu abanamandla bakwazi ukuzungeza iJeriko izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. Ngaphambili kwakukhona ibutho elihlomile ngokugcwele, futhi lilandelwa abapristi abayisikhombisa, ngamunye wabo owayenecilongo. Inkulumo ethi "icilongo laseJeriko" iqala ukucacisa, kodwa lokhu akuyona indaba ejabulisayo. Ngaphambi kwabapristi abayisikhombisa balandela abanye ababethwele umphongolo wesivumelwano, futhi emva kwabo bonke abanye besilisa.

Ngakho abapristi bashaya amacilongo abo ayisikhombisa, kodwa abanye abantu abazange bathule. Ngokuqondile, babenqatshelwe ukulahla izwi labo kuze kufike isikhathi lapho uJoshuwa ehambisa uphawu olukhethekile. "Ngiyakuncoma!" Wakha umholi ngosuku lwesikhombisa wesifunda saseJeriko. Abantu bavumelana ngokumemeza futhi bamemeza kakhulu futhi izindonga zomuzi zawa. Ibutho lahlukana futhi lalinqoba. Ingabe kuyiqiniso? Ukuze ahlulele umfundi, kodwa le ndaba yeBhayibheli inezimpikiswano eziningi, kanye nabanye, okuchazwe ezenzakalweni zeBhayibheli.

Kodwa nokho, uDkt. Brian Wood, isisebenzi seYunivesithi yaseToronto, esanda kukhishwa imiphumela yemfuyo eyenziwa ngqo endaweni yasendulo yaseJeriko. Yena nabasizi bakhe benza uhlaziyo olunzulu lwe-radioactive. Ezinye izindlela zokucwaninga zasetshenziswa. Ngenxa yalokho, kwavela ukuthi umuzi wawuzungezwe ngempela izindonga eziphakeme futhi eziqinile kakhulu, okwakusondela ngesikhathi esifanayo. Lapha nawe "ipayipi yaseJeriko."

Cishe, abantu abaningi abememeza bebodwa bangakha ukudlidliza kwemisindo ehambelana nemvamisa yamadonga aqinile. Yileyo ndlela ukubhujiswa kwabo kwenzeka ngayo. Yebo, leyo nkulumo ethi "ipayipi yaseJeriko" esikhathini sethu inokubaluleka okunjalo: i-zychny, icilongo, izwi elikhulu kakhulu.
