Kwestin
?Hu ya “woman” ya we Aesea 60:1 i tokbaot, mo olsem wanem hem i “girap” mo i “saenaot”?
Aesea 60:1 i talem se: “O woman, yu girap, yu saenaot from we laet blong yu i kam finis. Glori blong Jehova i stap saen long yu.” Ol vas raonabaot oli soemaot se “woman” ya hem i Saeon o Jerusalem, we i kapital blong Juda long taem ya. a (Aes. 60:14; 62:1, 2) Taon ya Jerusalem i pijarem nesen blong Isrel. Taswe ol tok we Aesea i talem, i mekem se yumi gat tu kwestin: Faswan, ?wetaem mo olsem wanem Jerusalem i “girap” mo i saenaot long saed blong spirit? Nambatu, ?ol tok blong Aesea oli stap kamtru long taem blong yumi?
?Wetaem mo olsem wanem Jerusalem i “girap,” mo i saenaot long saed blong spirit? Jerusalem mo tempol blong hem i kam nogud taem ol man Jiu oli go kalabus long Babilon blong 70 yia. Be afta we Media mo Pesia i winim Babilon, ol man Isrel we oli stap long olgeta ples we Babilon i rul long hem, oli kam fri mo oli save gobak long kantri blong olgeta mo mekem tru wosip bakegen. (Esra 1:1-4) Stat long 537 B.K.T., ol 12 traeb blong Isrel we oli laef yet, oli gobak long kantri blong olgeta. (Aes. 60:4) Mo oli stat blong mekem ol sakrefaes i go long Jehova, mekem ol lafet, mo bildim bak tempol. (Esra 3:1-4, 7-11; 6:16-22) Long taem ya, glori blong Jehova i stat blong saen long Jerusalem bakegen, we i minim ol man blong God. Nao olgeta oli kam olsem wan laet blong ol nesen we oli stap long tudak long saed blong spirit.
Be profet tok blong Aesea i no kamtru fulwan long taem ya. Bighaf blong ol man Isrel oli no moa gohed blong obei long Jehova. (Neh. 13:27; Mal. 1:6-8; 2:13, 14; Mat. 15:7-9) Biaen, oli sakemaot Mesaea, Jisas Kraes. (Mat. 27:1, 2) Long 70 K.T., ol enemi oli spolem Jerusalem mo tempol blong hem nambatu taem.
Jehova i bin talemaot finis se samting olsem bambae i hapen. (Dan. 9:24-27) Taswe i klia se folem stamba tingting blong hem, profet tok blong Aesea 60 bambae i no kamtru fulwan long Jerusalem long wol ya.
?Ol tok blong Aesea oli stap kamtru long taem blong yumi? Yes, be profet tok ya i kamtru long wan narafala woman, hemia “Jerusalem blong heven.” Aposol Pol i tokbaot hem se: “Hem i mama blong yumi.” (Gal. 4:26) Jerusalem blong heven, hemia haf blong oganaesesen blong God long heven, we i fulap long ol gudfala enjel. Mo ol “pikinini” blong hem, we hemia Jisas mo ol 144,000 man we God i makemaot olgeta olsem Pol, oli gat hop blong laef long heven. Olgeta ya oli kam “wan tabu nesen” hemia “Isrel blong God.”—1 Pita 2:9; Gal. 6:16.
?Olsem wanem Jerusalem blong heven i “girap” mo i “saenaot”? Hem i mekem olsem tru long ol pikinini blong hem, we God i makemaot olgeta long wol ya. Traem skelem ekspiriens blong olgeta wetem samting we profet tok blong Aesea japta 60 i tokbaot.
Ol tabu Kristin oli mas “girap” from we oli bin stap long tudak long saed blong spirit, taem rabis gras o apostasi i kam fulap afta we evri aposol oli ded. (Mat. 13:37-43) Biaen oli kalabus long Bigfala Babilon, we hemia olgeta giaman skul long wol. Ol tabu Kristin ya oli stap kalabus olsem gogo kasem “lashaf blong sistem blong wol,” we i stat long yia 1914. (Mat. 13:39, 40) Smoltaem afta, hemia long 1919, oli kam fri mo kwiktaem nomo oli stat blong saenaot long saed blong spirit, hemia taem oli joen fulwan long wok blong prij. b Long ol yia we i pas, plante man blong olgeta nesen oli kam long laet ya, mo hemia i minim tu smol haf blong Isrel blong God we i stap yet, hemia ol “ol king” we Aesea 60:3 i tokbaot olgeta.—Rev. 5:9, 10.
Long fiuja, ol tabu Kristin bambae oli mekem se laet blong Jehova i saenaot moa. ?Bambae oli mekem samting ya olsem wanem? Taem oli ded, bambae oli kam olsem haf blong “Niufala Jerusalem,” o waef blong Kraes, we hemia ol 144,000 king mo pris.—Rev. 14:1; 21:1, 2, 24; 22:3-5.
Niufala Jerusalem bambae i gat wan impoten wok, hemia blong mekem profet tok blong Aesea 60:1 i kamtru fulwan. (Skelem Aesea 60:1, 3, 5, 11, 19, 20 wetem Revelesen 21:2, 9-11, 22-26.) Long Isrel bifo, gavman i stap long Jerusalem. So long sem fasin, Niufala Jerusalem wetem Kraes bambae oli kam gavman we bambae i rul long niufala sistem blong wol. ?Olsem wanem Niufala Jerusalem i “kamaot long God long heven, i kamdaon”? Hemia taem hem i tekem aksen blong lidim ol man long wol. Ol man blong olgeta nesen we oli ona long God, “bambae oli wokbaot long laet we i stap kamaot long taon ya.” Mo tu, bambae oli kam fri fulwan long sin mo ded. (Rev. 21:3, 4, 24) Nao bambae “olgeta samting oli kam niuwan bakegen,” olsem we Aesea mo ol narafala profet oli bin talemaot. (Wok 3:21) Ol samting ya bambae oli stat blong kam niuwan taem Kraes i kam King, mo bambae oli kam niuwan fulwan long en blong Wan Taosen Yia Rul Blong Kraes.
a Long Niu Wol Translesen, Aesea 60:1 i yusum tok ya “woman,” be i no “Saeon” o “Jerusalem.” Hemia from we Hibru veb ya “girap” mo “saenaot,” oli yusum nomo blong tokbaot woman o gel, olsem we oli yusum tok ya “yu.”
b Esikel 37:1-14 mo Revelesen 11:7-12 tu oli tokbaot tru wosip we i stanap bakegen long 1919. Buk blong Esikel i tokbaot taem ya we olgeta tabu Kristin oli mekem tru wosip bakegen afta we oli bin kalabus blong plante yia. Buk blong Revelesen i tokbaot taem ya we wan smol grup blong ol tabu brata we oli stap lidim ol wok, oli mekem se tru save i kam antap bakegen afta we oli bin kalabus blong smoltaem. Mo long 1919, olgeta ya oli mekemap “gudfala slef we i waes.”—Mat. 24:45; yu luk buk ya Pure Worship of Jehovah—Restored At Last! long Inglis, pej 118.
