Woh Aage Jaai Aguwaai Kari
Prabhu Apne susamachaar aur Apne Girjaghar ke Punahsthaapna ki aguwaai karta hai. Woh bhavishye achchi tarah jaane hai. Woh aapke ih kaam me amantrit kare hai.
Hamaar bhaaiyon aur bahano, hum abhaari hai aapke saathe Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dino ke Santo ka ke ih sammelan me hone ke liye. Uh hum log ke soche ke nimantran dees raha ki kaise Prabhu Apan Girjaghar ke Punahsthaapna ih antim yug me se hum log aur priyejano ke ashish mila hai, Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson vaada karis ki hum log ke anubhav khali yaadgaar nahi par bhulaaya nahi jaae saki.
Hamaar anubhav yaadgaar rahis hai, jaise hum janta aap ke raha hoi. Kya ih na bhoolne laayak rahi hum log sab pe nirbhar howe hai. Uh hamaar kostin khaas hai kyunki ih sammelan ke taeyaari ke daoraan mai is tarah badla hoon ki mai waisa hi mehsoos karna chahata hoon. Mujhe samjhane do.
Hamaar taeyaari hamme Punahsthaapna ke ek ghatna ke record pe le ke ge. Hum ih ghatna ke baare me bahut dafe padha raha, lekin hamme ih khali ek zaroori sabha ke report lagta raha jisme Joseph Smith, Punahsthaapna ke prophet raha. Lekin ih taaim hum usme dekha kaise Prabhu hum log ke, Apan chela log ke aguwaai kare hai, Apan Girjaghar me. Hum dekha hum maransheel logon ke liye konchi matlab howe hai duniya ke Uddhaarkarta, us Banane waale ka aguwaai paana—jon sab kuch jaane hai, pichle, abhi ka, aur bhavishye ka. Uh hum log ke dhire dhire sikhaawe hai, kabhi jabran nahi.
Jon sabha ke baare me hum baat karta hai ek bahut mahatvapurn pal raha Punahsthaapna me. Uh ek Sabbath-din ke sabha raha April 3, 1836 ke, Ohio ke Kirtland Mandir me, uske samarpit howe se saat(7) din baad. Joseph Smith duniya ke ih itihaasik mahaan pal ke ek saadhaaran tarika se batais raha. Uske kahani ke dher baat Doctrine and Covenants bhaag 110 me likha hai.
“Dopahar ke, hum aur dui apan Pradhaan log ke madad kara Prabhubhoj sadasye log ke dewe me, jon Barah se liya raha, jiske kaam raha aaj pavitra mez pe kaarye karo. Apan bhaai log ke ih sewa kare ke baad, hum manch pe giya, parda long ke gire ke baad, aur Oliver Cowdery ke sange ghutno pe baetha, vishesh aur shaant praathna me. Praathna karke uthe ke baad, hum log duno jan ek hi drishye dekha.”1
“Hum log ke mann ke parda hath ge raha, aur hum log ke samajh ke aankh khol diya ge raha.
“Hum log dekha Prabhu manch ke seedha upar khada hai, hum log ke saamne, aur uske paero ke niche zameen asli sona ka tha, ek gehra peela rang me.
“Uske aankhe aag ki lapto jaise thi; uske sir ke baal safed barf jaise; uska chehre ke tej suraj ki chamak se zyaada tha; aur uska aawaaz dher paani ke bahaao ke jaisa, Jehovah ka hi aawaaz, kehta hua:
“Ki wahi pehla aur aakhri hai, Wahi jiwit hai, Usi ko maara gaya tha; Wahi Pita ke saath hamara wakeel hai.
Unke paap chama ho gaye hai aur ki weh Unke saamne saaf hai, aur usi kaaran unhe sir utha ke jayjaykaar karna hai.
Apne bhaaiyon ko khush hone do, aur mere sabhi logon ko khush hone do, jinhonne apne bal se, yeh mandir mere naam se banaya hai.
Kyunki maine is mandir ko anumati di hai, aur hamaar naam iske saath rahi, aur hum apan logon ke apan ghar me daya dikhaega.
Haan, hum apan sewak log ke saamne aaega, aur unse baat karega apan aawaaz me, agar hamaar ladkan hamaar aagya maani, aur apan pavitra mandir ke ashudh nahi kari.
Kayi hazaaron aur saekron ke dil khush honge un ashirvaadon ke kaaran jo unpe barsaaya jaaega, aur woh endowment jo mere sewakon ko mere mandir me diya jaaega.
Aur is mandir ka maan baahari deshon tak faelega; aur yeh us ashirvaad ka shuruaat hai jon hamaar ladkan pe barsaaya jaai. Aisa hi hoga. Amen.
Ih drishye ke khatam hoe ke baad, swarg Joseph aur Oliver ke liye fir se khulis, aur Moses uh log ke saamne aais, aur uh log Israel ke duniya ke chaaro kona seikattha hoe la chaabi dees, aur ten tribes ke uttar ke deshon se chuda le aaya jaaega.
Iske baad, Elias bhi unke saamne aaya, aur Abraham ke susamachaar ka yug ka jimwaari diya, yeh kehkar ki wahi do logon me aur unke ladkan me ashish aayega.
Drishye ke khatam hoe ke baad, ek aur mahaan aur vishaal drishye unhe dikha, prophet Elijah jo mare bina swarg gaya tha, unke saamne khada hua, aur kaha:
Elijah bolis, ab sahi samay aae ge hai, jon Malachi bolis raha—ki [hum] aaega, Prabhu ke uh bada aur daraone din se pehle—
Taaki pitaaon ke dil bachchon ke or mudenge, aur bachchon ke dil pitaaon ke or mudenge, jab tak puri dharti shraapit na ho jaaye—
Aur isliye, is yug ki chaabiyaan unhe di gayi hai, aur isse woh jaan jaaenge ki Prabhu ka bada aur daraona din nazdeek hai, haan bahut jaldi hone waala.”2
Ab, hum toh ih kahani dher dafe padha raha. Pavitra Aatma hamme swikriti dees raha ki ih kahani sach hai. Magar jab hum padhta aur taeyaari karta raha ih sammelan ke liye, hum aur achcha se Prabhu ke shakti dekh paaya aguwaai kare me Apan chela log ke Apan kaam ke liye.
Kirtland Mandir me Moses ke Joseph ke Israel ke ikattha howe la chaabi dewe se saat(7) saal pehle, “Joseph Mormon Dharamshaastra ke shirshak paej se seekhis ki uske lakshye raha ‘Israel ke gharane ke baaki ke logon ko dikhaana ki woh Prabhu ke vachano ko jaante hai, ki unhe hamesha ke liye bhula nahi diya gaya hai.’ 1831 me, Prabhu Joseph ke batais Israel ka ikattha hona Kirtland me shuru hoi, ‘Aur tab se [Kirtland], jiske hum maangega uh sab deshon me jaai kyunki Israel ko bachaya jaaega, aur Mai unki aguwaai karunga.’”3
Bhale prachaar kaarye ki zaroorat thi Israel ke ikattha kare ke liye, Prabhu Apan leadaron ke prerit karis Barah Devduton ke sikhaawe ke, jon Girja ke pehle prachaarak bane, Yaad rakho tumhe dusre deshon me nahi jaana hai jab tak tumhe apna endowment na mil jaae.”4
Ayse lage hai ki Kirtland Mandir mahatvapurn raha Prabhu ke dhire dhire waale yojna me kam se kam do kaaran se: Pehla, Moses intazaar karis mandir ke bane ke tab jaae ke Israel ke ikattha kare la chaabi dees. Aur dusra, Pradhaan Joseph Fielding Smith sikhaais ki “Prabhu Santon ke aagya dees ek mandir [Kirtland Mandir] banawe ke jahan uh sakta raha adhikaar ke chaabi dewe aur jahan devdut log endow hoe saki aur akhri dafa uske susamachaar ke prachaar kare paai.”5 Bhale jon mandir endowment jaise hum log aaj janta hai Kirtland Mandir me nahi dewa jaata raha, taeyaari ke mandir dharamvidhiyaan wahan shuru hois raha bhavishyevaani ko purti karne ke liye, jiske saath dher dhaarmik drishtiyaan mili jisse mishan pe jaane waale vaada kiye endowment se taeyaar huwe “swarg ke shakti se”6 jisse dher saare ikattha huwe prachaar sewa ke zariye.
Joseph ke Israel ke ikattha howe la jimwaari mile ke baad, Prabhu Prophet ke prerit karis Barah Devduton ke sadasyon ke mishan pe bheje ke. Jab hum stady karta raha, hum saaf rup se jaane paaya ki Prabhu achchi tarah se Barah ke raasta taeyaar karis raha mishan pe jaawe ke dur desh jahan logon ke taeyaar kara ge raha vishwaas kare aur swikriti dewe ke. Samay aawe pe, hazaaro saki, uh log ke zariye, Prabhu ke punahsthaapit Girjaghar me laawa jaae.
Hum log ke record ke mutaabik, yeh anumaan lagaya gaya hai ki 7,500 se le kar 8,000 logon ne baptisma liya tha un do mishan ke samay jab Barah British Isles gaye the. Yahi se Europe me prachaar kaarye ki shuruaat hui. 19th sadi ke anth tak lagbhag 90,000 log America jaa chuke the, jisme zyaada log British Isles aur Scandinavia se aaye the.7 Prabhu, Joseph ke prerit karis aur uh sab vishwaasi prachaarako ke bhi jon prachaar kare ge raha, aisan samay pe, jab uh log ke namumkin lagta raha hoi. Lekin Prabhu, Apan sampurn purva drishti aur taeyaari ke madad se, uske mumkin karis.
Aapke yaad hoi uh saadharan lag rahe aur lagbhag shaeraana bhaasha Doctrine and Covenants ke bhaag 110 se.
Elijah bolis, ab sahi samay aae ge hai, jon Malachi bolis raha—ki [hum] aaega, Prabhu ke uh bada aur daraone din se pehle—
Taaki pitaaon ke dil bachchon ke or mudenge, aur bachchon ke dil pitaaon ke or mudenge, jab tak puri dharti shraapit na ho jaaye—
Aur isliye, is yug ki chaabiyaan unhe di gayi hai, aur isse woh jaan jaaenge ki Prabhu ka bada aur daraona din nazdeek hai, haan bahut jaldi hone waala.”8
Hum gawahi deta hai ki Prabhu aage ka bhavishye dekhis raha aur kaise Woh hamein aguwaai karke le jaaega Unki madad karne ke liye antim dino me Uske lakshye ko paane me.
Jab hum Bishopric ke Adhyakshta me sewa pradaan kar raha tha kayi saal pehle, hamaar kaam raha design aur vikaas dal ke khyaal rakho jon FamilySearch banais raha. Hum saodhaan hai ih bole me ki hum “khyaal” kara uske banana na ki yeh kaha ki hum “aguwaai kara” uh kaam ke. Dher budhimaan log apan kaam chodis aur aais uh banawe jon Prabhu mangta raha.
Pratham Adhyakshta ek lakshye tay karis raha ki kamti se kamti dharamvidhiyaan dui dafa kara jaawe. Hum log ke sabse bada chinta raha nahi jaan paana ki kya ek insaan ki dharamvidhiyaan pehle ho chuki hai. Dher saal tak—ya jo bahut saal laga—Pratham Adhyakshta humse puchis, “Aap kab tak ih kaam khalaas karaega?”
Praathna, lagan, aur bhaari chamta rakhne waale logon ke niji tyaag se, woh kaam samaapt hua. Yeh dhire dhire mumkin hua. Pehla kaam raha FamilySearch ke user-friendly banao uh log ke liye jon computer se waakif nahi the. Aur pariwartan huwe, aur hum janta hai uh hote rahi, kyunki jab bhi hum log aage badhta ek ek samasya ke prerna se hal kare ke, hum log taeyaar hoe jaata aur praktikaran paae ke liye us sudhaar ke liye jon utna hi avashyak hai magar abhi samajh me nahi aa raha hai. Aaj bhi, FamilySearch uh bane hai jonchi Prabhu ke zaroori hai Uske Punahsthaapna ke liye—aur na sirf dharamvidhiyon ke dui dafa hoe se roke ke liye.
Prabhu hum log ke sudhaar laawe ke maoka dewe hai taaki insaan apan purwajo se waakif hoe sake aur uh log se pyaar kare sake aur uh log ke liye mandir dharamvidhiyon ke pura kare sake. Ab, jaise Prabhu sach me janta raha yahi hoi, yuva log apan maata/pita aur ward ke sadasyo ke sikhaawe hai computers ke baare me. Sab koi bahut khushi paais hai ih kaam kare me.
Elijah ke aatma jawaan aur budhon, ladkan aur maata/pitaaon, naati/pote aur aaja/aajiyaan ke dilon me badlaao laawe hai. Mandirein phir jaldi hi khushi se baptisma aur anye pavitra dharamvidhiyon ka samay tay karenge. Apan purwajo ke kaam kare ke ichcha aur maata/pita aur ladkan ke beech ke rishta mazboot howe hai.
Prabhu janta raha ih sab hoi. Uh iske liye yojna banais raha, dhire dhire karke, jaise Usne Apan Girjghar ke aur sab sudhaar me kiya hai. Usne vishwaasi logon ko jaagrut aur taeyaar kiya hai jon mushkil kaam ke achcha se kare sake. Uh sab taaim se bahut sabar karne waala rahis hai hamein “niyam par niyam, aagya par aagya, thoda yahan thoda wahan”9sikhaane me. Woh Apne iraade kab aur kahan pura hoga me kadak rehta hai, fir bhi Woh dekhta hai ki tyaag aksar ashirvaadein deta rehta hai jo humne pehle nahi jaana tha.
Hum samaapt karta hai Prabhu ke apan abhaar vyakt karke—Woh jisne Pradhaan Nelson ko prerit kiya ki woh mujhe amantrit kare ek tyaag dekar is sammelan ki taeyaari kare. Mere taeyaari ke samay ka har pal aur har praathna ne ek ashirvaad diya.
Hum aap sab ke amantrit karta hai jon ih sandesh ya ih shabdon ke suni ki aap bharosa rakkho Prabhu Apne susamachaar aur Apne Girjaghar ke Punahsthaapna ki aguwaai karta hai. Woh aage jaai aguwaai kari. Woh bhavishye achchi tarah jaane hai. Woh aapke ih kaam me amantrit kare hai. Woh aapke saath dei. Uske paas ek yojna hai aapke sewa ke liye. Aur jab aap tyaag bhi dega, aapke anand mehsoos hoi dusar ke madad kare me Uske aane ke liye taeyaar rahe ke.
Hum aapke gawahi deta hai Parmeshwar jo Pita hai woh zinda hai. Ishu hi Masih hai. Yeh Unka Girjaghar hai. Parmeshwar aap ke jaane aur aapse pyaar kare hai. Woh aapse prem kare hai. Usne aapke liye raasta taeyaar kiya hai. Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se, amen.
