NENO LA MUNGU LINASEMA NINI KUHUSU SABATO? (SEHEMU YA PILI)

Kwanini Bwana Yesu aliingia kwenye Sinagogi siku ya Jumamosi “SABATO”?

Kabla sijaanza kuelezea kwanini Yesu aliingia Sinagogi, ni vyema tukafahamu angalau kiufupi maana ya Sinagogi.

Sinagogi ni nyumba ya dini na ya jamii ya Wayahudi inayotumika hasa kusali. Jina hili Sinagogi linatokana na neno la Kigiriki συναγωγή sinagoge, likimaanisha "mkutano"; ni tafsiri ya neno la Kiebrania בית כנסת beit knesset, yaani "nyumba ya mkutano".
Wayahudi hutumia pia neno la Kiyiddish "shul" (=shule) kutajia sinagogi.

Sasa basi, baada ya kulewa maana ya Sinagogi, huto shangaa kuwa Wayahudi ndio watumiaji wa hayo Masinagogi na waliingia siku ya Saba “Sabato” kusali au kusoma “Shule” kama ambavyo neno hili hutamkwa katika Kiyiddish.

Hivyo, basi, haikuwa jambo la ajabu au kustaabisha tunapo soma kuwa Bwana Yesu aliingia ndani ya Masinagogi ili awafundishe Wayahudi kuhusu Ufalme wa Mbinguni. "Luka 4:16. alipokwenda Hapo Alipozaliwa Nazaret alipozaliwa na Siku ya Sabato(jumamosi) alikwenda katk #Sinagogi kama Ilivyokuwa Desturi Yake. Akasimama ili asome 17. akapewa kitabu cha nabii isaya akafunua mahali palipo andikwa "#Roho_wa_Bwana yuu Juu Yangu. Amenipaka mafuta Kuhubiriia maskini Habari njema "

Basi Wasabato wanapo soma hiyo aya teyari wanasema kuwa Yesu aliitunza Sabato kwasababu aliingia Sinagogi siku ya Saba ya Juma = Jumamosi. Haya madai hayana nguvu yeyote ile bali ni madai dhaifu. Kuingia Sinagogi siku ya Jumamosi hakukufanyi na au hakumfanyi mtu kuwa Msabato.

HILI DAI LA KUINGIA SINAGOGI naweza kulifananisha na dai la Waislam kuwa, eti, Yesu aliingia Sinagogi na hivyo Yesu ni Muislam. Waislam wao wana hoja ya kuwa Sinagogi ni Msikiti, basi ukiingia kwenye Sinagogi basi wewe ni Muislam HUKU WASABATO wana hoja ya kuwa Yesu kaingia SINAGOGI SIKU YA JUMAMOSI, basi Yesu ni Msabato. HOJA ZOTE MBILI ZA WAISLAM NA WASABATO NI DHAIFU.

Wakristo wa mwanzo hawakutumia Sinagogi katika ibada zao ndio maana Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo alisema hivi: Kwa mfano, baada ya kumtakasa mtu yule aliyejaa ukoma, Yesu alimwambia, “Asimwambie mtu, ila, Nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani; ukatoe kwa ajili ya kutakasika kwako kama Musa alivyoamuru, iwe ushuhuda kwao.” (Luka 5:14). Haya maneno yanaashiria kuwa Yesu alipo fanya huu muujiza hakuwa kwenye Sinagogi na ndio maana alimwambia Nenda ukajionyeshe kwa kuhani; ukatoe kwa ajili ya kutakasika kwako kama Musa alivyoamuru, iwe ushuhuda kwao.” (Luka 5:14).

Hiki ni kipindi ambacho ni cha kiimani zaidi. Kimsingi hiki ni kipindi ambacho kinaendelea hadi sasa. Huu ni wakati wa kupumzika kazi za mwili za uovu, yaani kuacha dhambi na kuishi kwa kumtegemea Kristo. Ni maisha ya imani.
Imeandikwa: Njoni kwangu ninyi nyote wenye kulemewa na mizigo nami nitawapumzisha. (Matayo 11.28), yaani, nitawapa ‘sabato’. Pia ndiyo maana ya andiko lisemalo: Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu ndiye Bwana wa Sabato. (Matayo 12:8). Sabato iko kwake, si kwenye siku.

Ni maisha ya kujiachia mikononi mwa Mungu ambaye yeye ndiye anayeshughulikia kila kitu katika maisha yetu. Kazi yetu ni kuamini tu kuwa atafanya; naye hakika anafanya. Hilo ndilo pumziko! Hiyo ndiyo raha! Hiyo ndiyo starehe! Hiyo ndiyo Sabato!

SABATO SI SIKU

Upo ushahidi wa kutosha katika Biblia unaoonyesha kwamba sabato si siku katika juma. Bwana anapoongelea kuhusu safari ya wana wa Israeli anasema:
Kwa hiyo nalichukizwa na kizazi hiki, nikasema, Siku zote ni watu waliopotoka mioyo hawa ... hawataingia rahani mwangu. (Ebr. 3:10-11).

Pia imeandikwa: Maana ameinena siku ya saba mahali fulani hivi, Mungu alistarehe siku ya saba, akaziacha kazi zake zote; na hapa napo, Hawataingia rahani mwangu. (Ebr. 4:4-5).

Katika maandiko haya Mungu anasema kwamba, kutokana na kukasirishwa na uasi wa wana wa Israeli kule jangwani, alimua kwambahawataingia kwenye raha aliyokuwa amewaandalia. Neno rahani hapa, au kwa Kiingereza rest, ndilo hilohilo sabato. Ndiyo maana hapo juu katika Waebrania 4:4-5, anahusisha siku ya saba na kuingia rahani.

WHAT DOES THE WORD OF GOD SAY ABOUT THE SABBATH? (PART TWO)

WHAT DOES THE WORD OF GOD SAY ABOUT THE SABBATH? (PART TWO)

Why did the Lord Jesus enter the Synagogue on Saturday, the “Sabbath”?

Before I begin to explain why Jesus entered the Synagogue, it is good to briefly understand the meaning of a Synagogue.

A Synagogue is a Jewish religious and community house mainly used for prayer. The word “Synagogue” comes from the Greek word συναγωγή (synagoge), meaning “assembly”; it is the translation of the Hebrew word בית כנסת (beit knesset), meaning “house of assembly.”

Jews also use the Yiddish word shul (= school) to refer to the Synagogue.

Now then, after understanding the meaning of Synagogue, you will not be surprised that Jews were the users of these Synagogues and entered them on the seventh day, the “Sabbath,” to pray or to study—“school,” as the word is pronounced in Yiddish.

Therefore, it was not strange or astonishing when we read that the Lord Jesus entered the Synagogues to teach the Jews about the Kingdom of Heaven. Luke 4:16 – When He went to Nazareth, where He had been brought up, on the Sabbath day (Saturday) He went into the Synagogue, as was His custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it is written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor.”

Now, when Seventh-day Adventists read that verse, they immediately claim that Jesus kept the Sabbath because He entered the Synagogue on the seventh day of the week = Saturday. But these claims hold no weight; they are weak arguments. Entering the Synagogue on Saturday does not make someone a Sabbath keeper.

This claim of entering the Synagogue I can compare to the claim of Muslims, who argue that since Jesus entered the Synagogue, therefore Jesus was a Muslim. Muslims claim that a Synagogue is a Mosque, so if you enter a Synagogue, you are a Muslim. On the other hand, Adventists claim that since Jesus entered the Synagogue on Saturday, therefore Jesus was a Sabbath keeper. Both arguments—by Muslims and by Adventists—are weak.

The early Christians did not use Synagogues in their worship. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ said this: For example, after cleansing a man full of leprosy, Jesus told him, “Tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” (Luke 5:14). These words indicate that when Jesus performed this miracle, He was not in a Synagogue; hence He told the man, “Go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

This is a spiritual period, and it continues even today. This is the time of resting from sinful works of the flesh—that is, ceasing from sin and living by depending on Christ. It is the life of faith.

It is written: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28), meaning, I will give you “Sabbath.” That is also why Scripture says: “For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” (Matthew 12:8). The Sabbath is in Him, not in a day.

It is a life of surrendering into the hands of God, who takes care of everything in our lives. Our work is only to believe that He will do it; and indeed, He does. That is the rest! That is the peace! That is the true Sabbath!

THE SABBATH IS NOT A DAY

There is enough evidence in the Bible showing that the Sabbath is not merely a day in the week. When the Lord speaks about the journey of the Israelites, He says:

“That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray … they shall never enter My rest.’” (Hebrews 3:10-11).

It is also written: “And yet on the seventh day God rested from all His works … and again in the passage above He says, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” (Hebrews 4:4-5).

In these passages, God says that because of the rebellion of the Israelites in the wilderness, He decided they would not enter the rest He had prepared for them. The word “rest” here—sabbath—is the same concept. That is why in Hebrews 4:4-5, the seventh day is linked to entering His rest.

But let us ask ourselves some questions to go deeper:

• When Israel was in the wilderness, were they not keeping the Sabbath as a day? Yes, they were. The Bible says: “On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much—two omers for each person—and the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses. He said to them, ‘This is what the Lord commanded: Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord.’” (Exodus 16:22-23).

• If they were keeping the Sabbath, then why did God still say, “They shall never enter My rest”? If you asked God, you might say, “Lord, how can You say they won’t enter Your rest while they rest every seventh day?” This is clear proof that the true Sabbath is not just about physical rest on the seventh day. There is a deeper Sabbath that the seventh day only foreshadowed.

• Furthermore, although those who disobeyed perished in the wilderness, others entered the land—their children. Did they then receive that rest (the true Sabbath)?

Some may say yes, because even in Jesus’ time, He often taught in Synagogues on the Sabbath. But Paul’s teaching makes it clear: keeping the Sabbath day is not the true rest of God.

Paul warns in Colossians 2:16-17: “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration, or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.”

He begins this by saying, “Therefore.” Why? Because in verses 14–15, he explains: “(Jesus) canceled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. He set it aside, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.”

There were religious people—especially as we read in Acts and Galatians—who wanted Christians to live under the law, keeping external things such as circumcision or Sabbath days. Paul warns: Do not let them pull you back under the law!

Even today, Adventists judge Christians for not keeping the Sabbath day. Paul warned against such religious legalism.

Our salvation as Christians is in Jesus Christ—not in keeping Moses’ law. The Sabbath day itself has no power over your life. Jesus is the Creator of the seventh day, and He is Lord over it.

Paul even rebuked the Galatians strongly, saying: “You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.” (Galatians 4:9–10).

And again in Romans 8:3-4: “For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”

Therefore, Paul insists: do not let anyone judge you concerning food, drink, festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths.

The Gospel of Christ is higher than the Law of Moses. “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17).

WHY DID JESUS “BREAK” THE SABBATH?

• Example 1: Jesus healed a man who had been an invalid for 38 years and told him, “Pick up your mat and walk.” (John 5:8). This was on the Sabbath. When the Jews saw him carrying his mat, they said, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.” (John 5:10). By their interpretation, Jesus had broken the Sabbath.

• Example 2: When accused, Jesus replied, “My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I too am working.” (John 5:17). By saying this, Jesus clearly rejected the legalistic Sabbath restriction.

• Example 3: Jesus healed a woman who had been crippled by a spirit. The Synagogue leader said: “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.” (Luke 13:14). Again, by their interpretation, Jesus had broken the Sabbath.

So why did Jesus do these things on the Sabbath? Because the Sabbath is not a mere day. If it were only about ceasing from physical work, Jesus would have been guilty. But because the true Sabbath means rest in Him, He demonstrated that healing, saving, and restoring people is the true meaning of Sabbath.

I end part two with this question: Is it wrong to worship on Saturday, the Sabbath?

DON’T MISS PART THREE – Why did the Pharisees accuse Jesus of letting His disciples break the law of Moses by breaking the Sabbath? (Mark 2:23-28). But how did the Lord Jesus respond? ……………………………..

GERMANY: 70-year-old woman brutally beaten by five young Muslim savages

THE REASON? Her refusal to sell them cigarettes where German law stipulates cigarettes may only be sold to people at least 18 years old, which none of them were.

When she refused to sell them cigarettes, they began screaming in her face and tried to grab the cigarettes by force. Then they attacked her with sticks and gave her a savage beating.

Shhhh…don’t tell anyone, but a 1,000 Muslim “Allahu Akbar”-chanting mob attacked police and set fire to Germany’s oldest church on New Year’s Eve

But, but but…The events of the night were described as “quiet” by German police in a statement, and as “normal” by a spokesman for the city government.

Breitbart (h/t Emma)  At New Year’s Eve celebrations in Dortmund a mob of more than 1,000 Muslim men chanted ‘Allahu Akhbar’, launched fireworks at police, and set fire to a historic church.

Already by 7 pm a man was hospitalized with first-degree burns to his face and hands after fireworks were hurled at a group of homeless people outside the city’s main train station. More than two dozen people were injured at festivities in Dortmund, some seriously.

At midnight, the situation threatened to escalate. A livewire published by the Ruhr Nachrichten reported that a crowd of “at least 1,000 young men” began throwing fireworks into crowds of visitors, which also included families with children. Asked by officers to stop, the mob turned to pelt fireworks at police instead.

IRAQ: Meet baby Trump

Kurdish family in Iraq has named their newborn baby “Trump.” Never heard anyone naming their kid after Barack Hussein Obama. But that’s not all…

An Iraqi seafood restaurant has also been named after Trump. Muslims admire strength, something Donald Trump has in abundance, but Obama never had, except against the Israelis and patriotic Americans.

WAISLAM WANAMWITA ALLAH LAKINI YEYE ANASEMA JINA LAKE NI SHETANI.

SASA TUMWAMINI MWENYE JINA AU WAISLAM WANAO MWABUDU SHETANI?

Who is Allah?

the Islamic diabolical deity is called “The Greatest Deceiver” ( Qur’an 3:54 )

The Bible too also mentions the GREAT Deceiver…

(Rev 19:20) And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he Deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

The ONE trait that is truthful about Allah is also congruent to the beast; also known as the Biblical Satan.

ALLAH = SHETANI

ALLAH = SHETANI

Here, the Qur’an says that Allah is the GREATEST Deceiver.

The names:
Satan; The Devil; The Great Dragon; The Serpent; Lucifer, The Deceiver…

All of these names are synonyms for Satan….

So..
because Satan = Deceiver,
and because Allah = Deceiver

According to the Transitive Property…

Satan = Allah ( Allah is actually SATAN )

( Therefore All Names for Satan, are now consistent names of Allah as well )

ALLAH IS A CREATION AND NOT THE CREATOR

Allah, is a created being, a “Fallen” Angel….

Who chose to Rebel against The MOST HIGH GOD.

The Qur’an was accurate to call him the “Greatest Deceiver“,

because he was able to deceive 1/3 of the heavenly angels into joining him in his rebellion against The TRUE God.

But they were cast out of heaven,

So now, they spend their time trying to pull mankind away from worshiping the creator.

And are instead, trying to direct mankind to worship Devils instead.

Satan is a Devil & a MASTER deceiver, “Allah” is simply one of his many titles

Satan
Lucifer
Son of the Morning
Abbadon
Appolyon
Allah
Beelzebub
Baal
Great Dragon
Old Serpent
Ancient Serpent
Devil
The Wicked One
The god of this world‘s systems
( Far too names many to include them all )

- Shalom.

WAKRISTO JIEPUSHENI NA SALAAM MNAYOSALIMIWA NA WAISLAMU

Imekuwa ni desturi kuwasikia, au kumsikia Muislamu, akimsalimia Mkristo, Sam aleykum (سم عليكم) Kwa Mkristo ambae hajui kitu, huitikia kwa haraka, Wa'alaykum Ssalaam, matumaini yake yote ni kuwa, amepewa salamu, ambayo waislamu wote husalimiana,

Yaani السلام عليكم (ASsalaam aleykum) Wakimaanisha, Amani ya Allah iwe juu yenu...

Mkristo mwenzangu, tambua kuwa, Muislamu abadani akijua wewe ni Mkristo, hawezi kukusalimia السلام عليكم (ASsalaam Aleykum) yaani kukutakia amani ya mungu, muabudiwa na waislamu, bali yeye muislamu humsalimia Mkristo kwa kusema:-

Sam Aleykum (سم عليكم) yaani akiwa na maana kwa kiswahili, "Mauti iwe juu yenu" hiyo ni kwa wengi, kama ni Mkristo mmoja basi husalimiwa kwa kuambiwa:-

Sam Alaika (سم عليك) Maana yake, "Umauti uwe juu yako" Sasa hapo Mkristo pasina kujua anaitikia kwa uchangamfu, akidhani anapewa Salaa nzuri, kumbe anatakiwa mauti
(Hastahili kuishi)...

Kwa hivyo kuanzia Leo, unaposalimiwa na muislamu, Sam aleykum, basi mjibu tu kwa kumwambia:-

Wa alyekum Faqatu (عليكم فقة) Umauti huo umrudie yeye mwenyewe, na hata kama atakutakia Amani halisi ambayo wao hutakiana السلام عليكم Yaani amani ya Allah iwe juu yenu/yako, usimrudishie, maana amani watoayo waislamu (Ulimwengu) ni tofauti na Amani aliyoitoa Yesu kwa wanafunzi wake aliposema.
سلام لكم (Salaamu'n Lakum) Maana yake Amani iwe kwenu

Hapo kuna utofauti wa amani (سلام) hiyo ya Yesu na hiyo (سلام) amani waitoayo Waislamu... maana Yesu amesema.

"Amani yangu nawapeni, amani yangu nawaacheni, niwapavyo mimi, sivyo kama Ulimwengu utoavyo" (Yohana 14:27)

Kwa hivyo JIHADHARI sana na salaam zao.
