Ezikhathini zasendulo, ngaphambi kweNkathi Yomusa abantu babelifunda iBhayibheli, kodwa ngaleso sikhathi kwakukhona iTestamente Elidala kuphela; lalingekho iTestamente Elisha. Njengoba kwabe kukhona iTestamente Elidala leBhayibheli, abantu baqala bafunda imibhalo engcwele. Emva kokuthi ukuqondiswa kwakhe nguNkulunkulu sekuphelile, uMose wabhala uGenesise, u-Eksodusi, kanye noDuteronomi…. Wakhumbula umsebenzi kaJehova ngaleso sikhathi, wawubhala phansi. IBhayibheli incwadi yomlando. Kunjalo, futhi liqukethe okunye ukubikezela kwabaprofethi, futhi phela, lokhu kubikezela akuwona neze umlando. IBhayibheli linezingxenye eziningi—akukho nje ukuprofetha kuphela, noma umsebenzi kaJehova kuphela, futhi akukho zincwadi zokuthunyelwa zikaPawulu kuphela. Kufanele wazi ukuthi iBhayibheli linezingxenye ezingaki; iTestamente Elidala liqukethe uGenesise, uEksodusi…, futhi kukhona kanye nezincwadi zeziprofetho abazibhala. Ekugcineni, iTestamente Elidala ligcina ngeNcwadi kaMalaki. Kubhalwe umsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho, owaholwa nguJehova; kusuka kuGenesise kuya eNcwadini kaMalaki, kungumbhalo ogcwele wawo wonke umsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho. Okungukuthi, imibhalo yeTestamente Elidala ingakho konke abantu ababeqondiswa nguJehova abadlula kukho ngeNkathi Yomthetho. NgeNkathi Yomthetho weTestamente Elidala, inani eliningi labaprofethi abamiswa nguJehova bamprofethela, banikeza imiyalelo, ezizwaneni nezizwe ezihlukahlukene, futhi babikezela umsebenzi uJehova abe ezowenza. Laba bantu ababemisiwe bonke babenikwe uMoya wokuprofetha nguJehova: Babekwazi ukubona imibono evela kuJehova, nokuzwa izwi Lakhe, ngakho bagqugquzelwa Nguyena futhi babhala ngokuprofetha. Umsebenzi abawenza wawuveza izwi likaJehova, kwabe kungumsebenzi wokuprofetha ababewenzela uJehova, futhi umsebenzi kaJehova ngaleso sikhathi kwabe kumane kuwukuqondisa abantu ngokusebenzisa uMoya. Akazange athathe isimo senyama, futhi abantu abazange babubone ubuso Bakhe nakancane. Ngakho, wamisa abaprofethi abaningi ukuze benze umsebenzi Wakhe, futhi wabanika imibiko abayidlulisela kuzo zonke izizwe nezizalo zakwa-Israyeli. Umsebenzi wabo kwabe kuwukuprofetha, futhi abanye babhala imiyalelo kaJehova kubo ukuze bakhombise abanye. UJehova wabamisa laba bantu ukuze baprofethe, babikezele umsebenzi wangesikhathi esizayo noma umsebenzi owawusadinga ukwenziwa ngaleso sikhathi, ukuze abantu babone ubuhle obumangalisayo nobuhlakani bukaJehova. Lezi zincwadi zokuprofetha zazihlukile nokho kunezinye izincwadi zeBhayibheli; zabe zingamazwi ayekhulunywe noma ebhalwe yilabo ababekade benikwe uMoya wokuprofetha—yilabo ababethole imibono noma izwi elivela kuJehova. Ngaphandle kwezincwadi zokuprofetha, yonke into eTestamenteni Elidala imibhalo ebhalwe ngabantu emuva kokuthi uJehova wayeseqedile umsebenzi Wakhe. Lezi zincwadi ngeke zikwazi ukumela ukubikezela okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi njengoba uGenesise no-Eksodusi bengeke baqhathaniswa neNcwadi ka-Isaya kanye neNcwadi kaDaniyeli. Iziprofetho zakhulunywa ungakenziwa umsebenzi; lezi ezinye izincwadi, nokho, zabhalwa lapho sewuqediwe, okuyilokho abantu ababekwazi ukukwenza. Abaprofethi baleso sikhathi bagqugquzelwa nguJehova futhi baprofetha okuthile, bakhuluma amazwi amaningi, futhi baprofetha izinto zeNkathi Yomusa, kanye nokubhujiswa komhlaba ezinsukwini zokugcina—umsebenzi uJehova ayehlele ukuwenza. Izincwadi ezisele zonke zibhala ngomsebenzi owenziwa nguJehova kwa-Israyeli. Ngakho, uma ufunda iBhayibheli, ufunda ikakhulukazi ngomsebenzi uJehova awenza kwa-Israyeli; iTestamente Elidala ekakhulukazi libhala ngomsebenzi kaJehova wokuqondisa abakwa-Israyeli, ukusebenzisa Kwakhe uMose ukuhola abakwa-Israyeli ngesikhathi bephuma eGibhithe, owabakhulula kozankosi bakaFaro, wabakhiphela endle, emuva kwalokho bangena eKhanani futhi yonke into elandela lokhu kwakuyimpilo yabo eKhanani. Konke ngaphandle kwalokhu kuyimibhalo ngomsebenzi kaJehova ezweni lonke lakwa-Israyeli. Yonke into ebhalwe eTestamenteni Elidala ngumsebenzi kaJehova kwa-Israyeli, ngumsebenzi uJehova awenza ezweni lapho enza khona u-Adamu no-Eva. Kusukela lapho uNkulunkulu waqala khona ngokusemthethweni ukuhola abantu emhlabeni emva kukaNowa, konke lokho okubhalwe eTestamenteni Elidala umsebenzi wakwa-Israyeli. Futhi kungani kungabhaliwe ngomunye umsebenzi ngaphandle kwa-Israyeli. Ngenxa yokuthi izwe lakwa-Israyeli liyimbeleko yesintu. Ekuqaleni, ayengekho amanye amazwe ngaphandle kuka-Israyeli, futhi uJehova akazange asebenze kwezinye izindawo. Ngale ndlela, lokho okubhalwe eBhayibhelini umsebenzi kwa-Israyeli kuphela ngaleso sikhathi. Amazwi akhulunywa ngabaprofethi, u-Isaya, uDaniyeli, uJeremiya, kanye noHezekeli … amazwi abo abikezela omunye umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni, abikezela umsebenzi kaJehova uqobo Lwakhe. Konke lokhu kwavela kuNkulunkulu, kwabe kungumsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele, futhi ngaphandle kwalezi zincwadi zabaprofethi, yonke into ngumbhalo ngalokho abantu abadlule kukho emsebenzini kaJehova ngaleso sikhathi.
