Amasiko eTestamente Elidala ayeyizinhlobo nezithunzi; ukukhomba abantu ngeqiniso leTestamente Elisha elizayo elitholakala ebudlelwaneni obusindisayo noJesu Kristu
Umbhali wamaHeberu manje ukhombisa abafundi bakhe ukuthi iSivumelwano Esidala noma imikhuba yeTestamente Elidala kwakuyizinhlobo nezithunzi nje kuphela zesivumelwano esisha noma iqiniso leTestamente Elisha likaJesu Kristu - “Ngalokho-ke nesivumelwano sokuqala sasinezimiso zenkonzo engcwele nendlu engcwele yasemhlabeni. Ngokuba kwakulungiswa itabernakele: ingxenye yokuqala okwakukhona kuyo uthi lwezibani, netafula, nezinkwa zokubukwa, okubizwa ngokuthi indawo engcwele; nangemuva kwesihenqo sesibili, ingxenye yetabernakele ethiwa ingcwelengcwele kunayo yonke, eyayinomcengezi wempepho wegolide nomphongolo wesivumelwano owawumbozwe ngegolide nxazonke, okwakukhona kuwo imbiza yegolide eyayinemana, induku ka-Aroni lokho kwahluma, nezibhebhe zesivumelwano; ngenhla kwawo kwakukhona amakherubi * enkazimulo engamele isihlalo somusa. Kulezi zinto manje asikwazi ukukhuluma ngokuningiliziwe. Manje lapho lezi zinto sezilungiswe kanjalo, abapristi njalo wangena ingxenye yokuqala yetabernakele, benza izinkonzo. Kodwa engxenyeni yesibili umpristi omkhulu wayehamba yedwa kanye ngonyaka, kungengaphandle kwegazi, alinikela ngenxa yakhe nangenxa yezono zabantu ezenziwa ngokungazi; uMoya oNgcwele okhombisa lokhu, ukuthi indlela eya eNgcwelengcwele kunayo yonke ibingakabonakaliswa ngenkathi itabernakele lokuqala lisamile. Bekufanekisela isikhathi samanje lapho kuhlinzekwa khona izipho nemihlatshelo okungenakukwazi ukwenza lowo owenze inkonzo aphelele maqondana nonembeza - okhathalela kuphela ukudla neziphuzo, ukugeza okuhlukahlukene, kanye nemithetho yenyama ebekwe kuze kube yisikhathi senguquko. ” (Heberu 9: 1-10)
Itabernakele laliyindawo engcwele noma engcwele; kubekelwe ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu wayebatshele kuEksodusi - “Futhi mabangenzele indawo engcwele, ukuze ngihlale phakathi kwabo.” (U-Eksodusi 25: 8)
Uthi lwesibani kwakuyi-menorah, eyenziwe ngephethini yesihlahla se-alimondi esiqhakazayo, esasinikeza ukukhanya kubapristi ababekhonza endaweni engcwele. Kwakuwuphawu lukaKristu owayengukukhanya kweqiniso okwakuzokuza emhlabeni. (U-Eksodusi 25: 31)
Isinkwa, noma 'isinkwa Sobukhona,' sasiqukethe izinkwa eziyishumi nambili ezazibekwa etafuleni ohlangothini olusenyakatho lweNdawo Engcwele. Lesi sinkwa 'savuma' ngokomfanekiso ukuthi izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli zazondliwa njalo ngaphansi kokunakekelwa nguNkulunkulu. Bekufanekisela noJesu, owayeyiSinkwa esivela ezulwini. (U-Eksodusi 25: 30)
Umcengezi wegolide kwakuyisitsha okwakulethwa kuso impepho e-altare legolide phambi kweNkosi. Umpristi wayegcwalisa umcengezi wempepho ngamalahle avuthayo avela emlilweni ongcwele womnikelo wokushiswa, awuthathe awuse endaweni engcwele, abese ephonsa impepho emalahleni avuthayo. I-altare lempepho lalingumfanekiso kaKristu njengomlamuleli wethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu. (U-Eksodusi 30: 1)
Umphongolo wesivumelwano wawuyibhokisi lokhuni, elembozwe ngegolide ngaphakathi nangaphandle okwakuqukethe izibhebhe zomthetho (imiyalo eyishumi), ibhodwe legolide elinemana, nenduku ka-Aroni eyahluma. Isembozo somphongolo 'sasiyisihlalo somusa' lapho kwakwenziwa khona ukubuyisana. UMacArthur uyabhala “Phakathi kwefu lenkazimulo laseShekinah ngaphezu komphongolo kanye namathebulethi omthetho ngaphakathi komkhumbi kwakukhona ikhava efafazwe ngegazi. Igazi elivela emihlatshelweni lalimi phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nomthetho kaNkulunkulu owephuliwe. ”
Isikhathi "senguquko" safika lapho uJesu afa futhi wachitha igazi lakhe ngenxa yezono zethu. Kuze kube yilesi sikhathi, uNkulunkulu 'udlulise' izono zethu kuphela. Igazi lezilwane ezahlukahlukene ezinikelwa ngaphansi kweTestamente Elidala belinganele ukususa isono.
Namuhla, 'senziwe abalungile kuNkulunkulu' kuphela, noma silungisiswa ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu. AmaRoma asifundisa - “Kepha manje kwembulwa ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu ngaphandle komthetho, kufakazelwa nguMthetho nabaProfethi, ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu, ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu, kubo bonke nakubo bonke abakholwayo. Ngoba akukho mehluko; ngokuba bonke bonile, basilalelwe inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, balungisiswa ngesihle ngomusa wakhe ngokuhlengwa okukuKristu Jesu, uNkulunkulu ambeka waba yinhlawulo ngegazi lakhe ngokukholwa ukukhombisa ukulunga kwakhe, ngokuba ngokubekezela uNkulunkulu wayezidlulisile izono ezazenziwa phambilini, ukukhombisa ukulunga kwaKhe esikhathini samanje, ukuze abe ngolungileyo nomlamuleli walowo okholwayo kuJesu. ” (AmaRoma 3: 21-26)
