All Things Denote There Is a God (Alma and Korihor) [Zonke Izinto Zikhomba Ukuthi uNkulunkulu Ukhona (u-Alima noKorihori)], nguWalter Rane

NgoJulayi 15–21: “Amandla Ezwi likaNkulunkulu”

U-Alima 30–31

Imibhalo eku-Alima 30–31 ikhombisa ngokucacile amandla asemazwini—ngokubi kanye nokuhle. “Amazwi aluthayo” kanye “nokukhuluma kakhulu” komfundisi wamanga owayebizwa ngoKorihori kwasabisa ukuletha “imiphefumulo eminingi phansi ekonakalisweni” (u-Alima 30:31, 47). Ngokufanayo, izimfundiso zowahlubuka kumaNefi obizwa ngoZoramu zaholela iqembu lonke labantu ukuba liwe “eziphosisweni ezinkulu” kanye “nesekuphendukezeleni izindlela zeNkosi” (u-Alima 31:9, 11).

Ngokwehlukile, u-Alima wayenokholo olunganakuguquka lokuthi izwi likaNkulunkulu lalizoba “nomphumela onamandla amakhulu emiqondweni yabantu kunenkemba noma yini enye” (u-Alima 31:5). Amazwi ka-Alima ayequkethe iqiniso laphakade futhi eletha amandla aJesu Kristu ukuthulisa uKorihori (bheka u-Alima 30:39–50), futhi emema izibusiso Zakhe kulabo abahamba naye ukuletha amaZoramu eqinisweni (bheka u-Alima 31:31–38). Lezi izibonelo ezibalulekile kubalandeli baKristu namuhla lapho imiyalezo engamanga ivamile. Singathola iqiniso ngokwethemba, njengo-Alima enza, “amandla ezwi likaNkulunkulu” (u-Alima 31:5).
