Unkulunkulu wamaJuda u-Yahweh wabonakala isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuhlanganiswa kwezinhlanga endaweni eyodwa. Inkolo yakhe yaqaphela ukuthi kukhona amanye ama-patrioti phakathi kwezinye izizwe. Ekuqaleni, uJehova wayekhulekelwa yizizwe ezimbalwa zezintandane, futhi zazibhekwa njengedemoni lasehlane. Kusukela isikhathi sakhe saqala ukubona ukuthi unkulunkulu wesizwe sakwaJuda. Ngemva kokuhlanganiswa kwezizwe uJehova waba yinto enkulu yamaJuda.
Yini eyaziwa ngoJehova?
Ngemuva kokubunjwa kombuso wakwa-Israyeli, igama lonkulunkulu wamaJuda laqala ukubonakala nomphathi wempi. Ngezinguquko emkhakheni wethonya likaJehova, ukubukeka kwakhe kwaguqulwa. Ngokusho kolwazi olukhona, okokuqala lalimelelwa yingonyama, futhi ekugcineni inkunzi. Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, wathola isithombe somuntu. AmaJuda ayengacabangi ukuthi uJehova abe yinto evamile futhi anikezwe indawo ethile yokuhlala. Abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi unkulunkulu wamaJuda uhlala eNtabeni iSinayi. Kwakukhona kule ndawo lapho kwenziwa khona imihlatshelo yomhlatshelo wamanzi, futhi imihlatshelo yabantu yayingavunyelwe. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ulwazi lwavela ukuthi uJehova uhlala emkhunjini obukeka njengebhokisi elitheni. Esikhatsini sawo kwakukhona amakherubi amabili aqoshiwe, enziwe ngegolide. Ngendlela, abanye abacwaningi bakholelwa ukuthi umkhumbi wawuyisihlalo sobukhosi. Kukhona nolwazi lokuthi kwakukhona izifanekiso zikaJehova noma imeteorite ebhokisini.
Njengoba inkolo yaleli nkulunkulu isakazeka, abapristi bakhe nabo baba nokubaluleka nakakhulu. Baphendukela kuJehova ngosizo lwezinhlanhla ngezinhlanzi noma izinti. Abantu beza kubapristi ukuba baphenduke kuzimu kubo. Umkakhe kaJehova wayebhekwa njengo-Anat (Asher). Ukushiwo kwalo kutholakala ngesikhathi sokucwaningwa kwezinto ezivubukulwa emafetheni angamaJuda. Ngendlela, abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi uJesu Kristu ungunkulunkulu wamaJuda, kodwa empeleni lo mbono awulungile, ngoba amaJuda awazange amukele njengomesiya.
