Igama elithi izulu lisetyenziswa ngeendlela ezintathu eBhayibhileni: (1) amazulu abonakalayo; (2) ummandla womoya; yaye (3) lithetha indawo ephakamileyo okanye isikhundla esiphakamileyo. Kwimeko nganye, loo nto kuthethwa ngayo yiyo esinceda siqonde intsingiselo echanileyo. a

1. Amazulu abonakalayo. Kule nkalo, amazulu abhekisela esibhakabhakeni apho kubhudla umoya, kubhabha iintaka, apho amafu ahlisa imvula nekhephu nalapho kulenyeza imibane. (INdumiso 78:26; IMizekeliso 30:19; Isaya 55:10; Luka 17:24) Asenokubhekisela nasemajukujukwini apho kukho “ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi.”​—Duteronomi 4:19; Genesis 1:1.

2. Ummandla womoya. Igama elithi izulu likwabhekisela kummandla womoya, kwindawo yokuhlala ephakame ngaphezulu lee kunesibhakabhaka. (1 Kumkani 8:27; Yohane 6:38) Kummandla womoya kuhlala uYehova uThixo ‘onguMoya’ kwakunye neengelosi awazidalayo. (Yohane 4:24; Mateyu 24:36) Maxa wambi amazulu ayamntwiswa ukufanekisela iingelosi ezithembekileyo, ‘ibandla labangcwele.’​—INdumiso 89:5-7.

   IBhayibhile iphinde isebenzise igama elithi amazulu xa ibhekisela kwinxalenye yommandla womoya ‘kwindawo ahlala kuyo’ uYehova. (1 Kumkani 8:43, 49; Hebhere 9:24; ISityhilelo 13:6) Ngokomzekelo, iBhayibhile yaxela kwangaphambili ukuba uSathana needemon zakhe baza kuphoselwa ngaphandle kwezulu ibe abazange banikwe mvume yokubuyela ezulwini. Sekunjalo, babeza kuhlala bekummandla womoya.​—ISityhilelo 12:7-9, 12.

3. Indawo ephakamileyo okanye isikhundla esiphakamileyo. IZibhalo zisebenzisa igama elithi izulu ukuchaza isikhundla esiphakamileyo esidla ngokuba sesomntu ophetheyo. Eso sikhundla sinokuba:

   • SesikaYehova uThixo njengoMongami.​—2 Kronike 32:20; Luka 15:21.

   • BuBukumkani bukaThixo, urhulumente oza kuthabathel’ indawo ulawulo lwabantu. IBhayibhile ibhekisela kobo Bukumkani ‘njengamazulu amatsha.’​—Isaya 65:17; 66:22; 2 Petros 3:13. b

   • NgamaKristu asemhlabeni anethemba lokuphila ezulwini.​—Efese 2:6.

   • Ngoorhulumente babantu ababaphakameleyo abantu ababalawulayo.​—Isaya 14:12-14; Daniyeli 4:20-22; 2 Petros 3:7.

   • Ngoomoya abangendawo abalawula emhlabeni ngoku.​—Efese 6:12; 1 Yohane 5:19.

Kunjani ezulwini?

Kuyasetyenzwa kummandla womoya. Kuhlala amakhulu ezigidi zeengelosi ‘eziphulaphula isandi selizwi lakhe [uYehova].’​—INdumiso 103:20, 21; Daniyeli 7:10.

Xa ithetha ngezulu iBhayibhile ithi linokukhanya okuqaqambileyo. (1 Timoti 6:15, 16) Umprofeti uHezekile wabona umbono wamazulu ‘onjengokukhanya okuqaqambileyo’ ukanti yena uDaniyeli wabona ‘umsinga womlilo.’ (Hezekile 1:26-28; Daniyeli 7:9, 10) Izulu lingcwele okanye licocekile yaye lihle.​—INdumiso 96:6; Isaya 63:15; ISityhilelo 4:2, 3.

Indlela iBhayibhile elichaza ngayo izulu iyamangalisa. (Hezekile 43:2, 3) Ekubeni ummandla womoya ungaphaya kwamandla ethu, akunakwenzeka ngabantu ukukuqonda ngokupheleleyo oko kwenzeka ezulwini.
