Abubuwa 3 da Ya Kamata Ku Sani Game da Ezekiyel

Shafukan Ezekiyel sun cika da tashin hankali iri-iri: mutanen Allah sun rabu zuwa bauta a Babila kuma mazauna da aka kewaye a Urushalima, annabi na ƙarshe daga zuriyar firist wanda ke kwance a gefen hagu na tsawon kwanaki 390 kuma wanda ya ƙi yin makokin mutuwar matarsa, da wahayi na alamomin sihiri tare da zane-zane masu ban tsoro, masu tayar da hankali (Ezekiyel 4:4–8; 24:15–24). Wataƙila babban tashin hankali a cikin Ezekiyel yana cikin bayyanar halin Allah: mai girma amma mai rai, mai tsarki kuma mai jin haushi da zunubi amma mai gafara, kuma mai ban tsoro a cikin hukuncinsa amma mai ban mamaki a cikin rahamarsa. Kodayake waɗannan tashin hankali suna da damar damuwa ko rikitar da mai karatu, littafin Ezekiyel yana bayyana sunan da ɗaukakar Ubangiji ta hanya ta musamman da koyarwa.

Waɗannan abubuwa uku ya kamata su taimaka muku wajen sassauta tashin hankali da jin daɗin annabce-annabcen Ezekiyel.

1. Wahayi da wahayin Ezekiyel masu ban mamaki sun bayyana Allah mai ɗaukaka amma wanda ake iya sani.

Ba sai ka karanta sosai cikin Ezekiyel ba kafin ka fuskanci ruɗani. Wahayinsa na farko da kiransa sun ƙunshi halittu huɗu masu rai (wanda daga baya aka gane su a matsayin kerubobi) masu halaye masu ban tsoro, wani tunani na “kamannin ɗaukakar Ubangiji” wanda ke girgiza hankalin mutum, da kuma jerin ayyuka da suka zo tare da umarninsa – gami da cin littafi da shiru (Ezekiyel 1:1–3:27; 10:20). Kuma wannan shine kawai farkon littafin. Ayyuka na alama, hotuna, da shela, da ziyara daga Ubangiji mai ɗaukaka da tawagar mala’ikunsa, suna sake dawowa gaba ɗaya (duba Ezekiyel 10:1–22; 40:1–4).

Amma ka san wannan: ya kamata ka fuskanci mamaki. Gamuwa da ɗaukakar Allah mai girma yana buƙatar amsa ta mamaki da tawali’u. Da zarar ka karɓe shi, Ezekiyel ya faɗi a fuskarsa (Ezekiyel 1:28). Wani ɓangare na manufar wannan rikodin hidimarsa mai cike da Ruhu shine ya haifar da irin wannan martani mai cike da mamaki a cikinmu. Mutane kamar Ezekiyel, kamar waɗanda aka kai bauta a Babila, da kuma kamar mu ba za su iya sanin Allah bisa ga sharuddanmu ba: Dole ne ya bayyana kansa. Duk da haka, kada ku yi kuskure, Ezekiyel ya bayyana cewa Allahnmu mai iko duka yana nan kuma yana bayyana kansa a ko’ina cikin duniya, kamar yadda kalmar “Za ku sani ni ne Ubangiji” ta bayyana a cikin wa’azin ga Isra’ila da kuma ga al’ummai (Ezek. 7:4, 9; 11:10; 13:9, da sauransu).

Abin baƙin ciki, zunubin ɗan adam da ridda suna buƙatar Allah mai tsarki ya bayyana kansa da farko a cikin hukunci, wanda ke kaiwa ga batunmu na gaba.

2. Zuriyar firist ta Ezekiyel ta fito a cikin jaddada tsarkin Allah.

Ezekiyel ya bayyana kansa a matsayin firist a farkon littafin, amma wataƙila bai taɓa samun damar yin hidima a wannan matsayin a Urushalima ba (Ezek. 1:3). Madadin haka, Ubangiji ya kira shi ya yi aiki a matsayin annabinsa, da farko ya fitar da annabcin hukunci a kan mutanensa masu tawaye, sannan a kan mugayen al’ummai (Ezek. 1:1–24:27; 25:1–32:32). Duk da wannan canjin aiki, Ezekiyel ya dogara sosai kan iliminsa na firist, musamman game da tsarkin Allah a shari’a.

Ezekiyel, a cikin aikinsa mai cike da Ruhu Mai Tsarki, mai gabatar da ƙara, bai ja da baya wajen bayyana laifukan tsohuwar iklissiyar alkawari game da dokokin alkawari na Allah da ƙazantarsu ta hanyar bautar gumaka ba (Ezek. 5:6; 16:59). Waɗannan ayyukan sun yi haɗarin “ɓata” sunan Ubangiji, suna sa Allah ya kiyaye tsarkinsa ta hanyar cire kasancewarsa mai ɗaukaka (wanda aka nuna ta kursiyinsa na sama, mai ɗauka) daga Urushalima kuma ya naɗa mata ranar halaka (Ezek. 20:9, 14). Ezekiyel ya nuna mummunan tawayen Isra’ila ta hanyar gabatar da littattafai daban-daban, wataƙila babu abin da ya fi ɓata rai fiye da misalin ‘yan’uwa mata biyu marasa aminci (Ezek. 23:1–49). Kuma kada al’ummai su yi farin ciki da faɗuwar Urushalima kuma su yi tunanin kansu ba za a iya karya su ba, Ezekiyel zai kai hari ga masarautu bakwai da ke kewaye—alama ce ta dukkan al’ummomin duniya—da irin waɗannan annabcin hukunci. Su ma, za su amsa laifinsu da tawayensu ga Allah mai tsarki, kuma duniya za ta san ɗaukakarsa ta hanyar hukuncinsu.

Amma kada Isra’ila ta bar bege, Ezekiyel ya yi amfani da wani ra’ayi na firistoci don tsammanin maidowa: haikalin.

3. Yesu ya cika annabcin Ezekiyel na maidowa a matsayin haikalin Allah.

Ko a tsakiyar shari’a, Allah mai tsarki na Isra’ila mai ɗaukaka ya annabta maidowa. Zai ta da mutanensa na alkawari kamar yadda Ezekiyel ya shaida farfaɗowar ƙasusuwa busassu (Ezekiyel 37:1-14). Duk da haka, Ubangiji ba zai mayar da su zuwa ga yanayinsu kawai kafin hukunci ba, amma zai tsarkake su ya ba su sabuwar zuciya, ya sake kafa su a cikin mulkin kakanninsu, ya naɗa musu sarki mai adalci na zuriyar Dauda, ​​ya zauna a tsakiyarsu har abada (Ezekiyel 36:22–37:28). Ezekiyel ya hango wannan yanayin da ya canza na zaman lafiya na alkawari ta hanyar wahayinsa na sabon haikalin, wanda ke nuna kasancewar Ubangiji ta har abada, kamar yadda sunan birnin ya bayyana a sarari, “Ubangiji YANA Nan” (duba surori 40–48).

Cika annabcin Ezekiyel ya fi sake gina Haikali na Biyu, yana samun ƙarshensa a cikin Yesu. Ayyukan Manzo Yohanna da aka hure sun shaida shi. Cikakkiyar ɗaukakar Allah ta bayyana a cikin Ɗan Allah da aka haifa a jiki, wanda ke zaune a tsakiyar mutanensa kuma yana sanar da Allah (Yahaya 1:14-18). Yesu ya danganta kansa da haikalin, yana kwatanta raunin halakarsa da gicciyensa da ɗaukakar maidowarsa da tashinsa daga matattu (Yahaya 2:18-22). Bugu da ƙari, kamar yadda Ezekiyel ya hango kogi yana gudana daga haikalin, yana ba da rai ga dukkan duniya, haka nan Yesu ya ayyana kansa tushen ruwan rai (Yahaya 4:1-43; 7:37-39). A cikin wahayinsa na ƙarshe, Yahaya ya shaida wannan kogin da ke gudana daga kursiyin Allah da Ɗan Rago, bayan ya kawo tsarkakewa da warkarwa ga mutanensa da aka warwatse cikin al’ummai (Ru’ya ta Yohanna 22). Babban tashin hankalin Ezekiyel ya bunƙasa zuwa mafi girman damar da za a iya tsammani: kasancewar Allah da Ɗan Rago har abada.
