Umkhukula, kunye nento esiyaziyo ngayo

Ihlabathi elibizwa ngokuba yihlabathi okanye umkhukula omkhulu yintlekele enkulu. Esi siganeko sichazwa kwiinkonzo ezininzi, iimbali kunye neengcali. Ingundoqo yentsholongwane eyenzekayo kukuba umhlaba wonke uphuphuma ngamanzi, kwaye zonke izinto eziphilayo kuwo ziyabhubha.

Singafumanisa ukuba ibali lithini ngeso siganeko njengoMkhukula, iBhayibhile. Mhlawumbi, lo mthombo ufikeleleka kakhulu ekufundeni ngokubanzi namhlanje. EBhayibhileni, kwisahluko sesithandathu seGenesis kuthiwa iPlanethi yomhlaba ngelo xesha yazaliswa ngamanyala. Kubhaliwe ngokoqobo ukuba wayonakele phambi koThixo.

Ngelo xesha, umdali wezulu emhlabeni wenza isigqibo sokutshabalalisa bonke ubomi. Akukhona nje ngabantu, kodwa ngezilwanyana kunye neentaka. Nangona kunjalo, umntu othile kulezi zihlandlo ezikude wayemeleleke kwabanye bonke ukuba wayephila ngokulunga. Kungenxa yesi sizathu sokuba uThixo wanquma ukugcina ubomi bakhe nentsapho yakhe. Lo mntu wabizwa nguNowa. Ngaphambi kokubeka umkhukula emhlabeni, uThixo wamyalela uNowa ukuba akhe ityeya. Esi sisakhiwo esikhulu, apho, ngaphezu kwentsapho kaNowa, izilwanyana kwakufanele zilungele.

Zonke izidalwa eziphilayo zazifuneka ziqokelelwe ngamabini. IBhayibhile ithi uThixo wenza umnqophiso noNowa. Emva kokuba abantu kunye nezinye izidalwa eziphilayo, ezijoliswe ekusindisweni, bezingekho engozini, ikhukula emhlabeni jikelele. Le ntlekele yahlala iintsuku ezingama-40 kunye nenani elifanayo lobusuku. Ngexesha elifanayo, kubonakala ngathi amanzi awawathulukanga kuphela kwizulu, kodwa nakwiimbilini zomhlaba.

Uyaziwa njani? EBhayibhileni. Isahluko sesixhenxe sencwadi yokuqala yeBhayibhile, ebizwa ngokuba yiGenesis, isitshela ukuba emva kokusindiswa kwangena emkhombeni, yonke imithombo yendawo enkulu yalasha yavuleka, kwaye iifestile zasezulwini zavulwa. Kuyavela ukuba amanzi aphumelele kuphela kwiifestile zezulu, kodwa nakwiindawo ezilahla.

I-Ethnologists iyaziwa ngamakhulu amabali, echaza ngokukhukula. NgokomKristu wamanje, ityeya, apho imiphefumlo ekhethiweyo igcinwa kwintlekele enkulu, ayikho enye into kodwa isimboli somsindisi wehlabathi likaYesu Kristu. KwiTestamente Entsha, iVangeli libhalela amazwi kaKristu, athi abo kuphela abaza kuye baza bakholelwa kuye baya kusindiswa emhlabeni. Ngaphezu koko, Uthi lowo ukholwayo kuye uya kuba kuye.

Izazi-mlando ziye zaqinisekisa ukuba inkolelo yesigungxube ibonakala kwimithombo yamandulo kuneBhayibhile. Le ngqungquthela ifumaneka kwingqungquthela yaseAsiriya ebhaliwe kwiipilisi zedongwe, ezazigcinwe kwithala leencwadi yaseAsiriya ukumkani ogama linguAsbanibanipali. Ubudala beeplate zibuyela kwi-7 leminyaka BC. Kukho intsomi yaseSumeri, echaza uMkhukula. Le nxalenye yeTale yeGalegamesh eyaziwayo.

Kuphawuleka ukuba ekuqaleni kweminyaka engama-90 yekhulu elidlulileyo, ngexesha lokucubungula, kwafunyanwa idolophu yase-Uri yase-Sumeriya yakudala. Iziphumo zemigodi zavumela abavubukuli ukuba benze ukucinga ukuba kwisixeko esifumanekayo kukho iimpawu zentlekele echazwe eBhayibhileni kunye neengcinga zeenkolelo, ezibizwa ngokuba nguMkhukula. Ngokukodwa, inokumiselwa yimithombo yamanzi ekhoyo apha.

Emva koko, kule mihlaba yafunyanwa eMesopotamiya, ezinye iidolophu zafunyanwa, apho kwafunyanwa khona umlambo owodwa. Kukholelwa ukuba umxholo waseSumeriya womkhukula uneminyaka eyi-6 000 ubudala. Kuchazwe apha ngendlela efana neBhayi- bhileni, ukuya kwi-pigeon ekhutshweyo, kodwa ihobe elilandelayo alizange libuye, kodwa lafumana umhlaba. Ukwahlukana kukuba kwiseko laseSomeri umgudu wakhululwa okwesibini.

Ngokubhekiselele kwinjongo yezesayensi malunga nale ntlekele yehlabathi, iimbono ziyahlukana kakhulu. Ezinye izazinzulu zithetha ngokucacileyo ukuba umkhukula wehlabathi ungoyinto eyimfihlakalo. Abanye banikela ubungqina bokuba kubukho emhlabeni. Umbhali wale nqaku wabona umboniso owenziwe yi-Moody Institute, enika ubungqina besikhukhula. Iingxabano zazibonakala zikholisa kum, kwaye ndiyakholwa iBhayibhile, kodwa ke wonke umntu makenze isigqibo sokuba njani kunye nantoni na ukukholelwa kuyo.
