Izingelosi zikaNkulunkulu nawomoya ababi zisobala eBhayibhelini futhi zixubene nomlando wabantu. Abaningi bacabanga ukuthi izingelosi ezingcwele “ezingomoya bokukhonza abathunyelwe ukukhonza ngenxa yabayakudla ifa lokusindiswa” (Heberu 1:14) zingomoya babafileyo. Kodwa imiBhalo iphethe ubufakazi bokuthi akubona omoya babafileyo abangekho emzimbeni. IE 21.3
Ngaphambi kokudalwa komuntu, zazikhona izingelosi, ngoba mhla kubekwa izisekelo zomhlaba “Izinkanyezi zokusa zahlabelela kanyekanye, nawo onke amadodana kaNkulunkulu ajabula,” Jobe 38:7. Ngemuva kokuwa komuntu, izingelosi zathunywa ukuyoqapha umuthi wokuphila, kungakaze kube khona umuntu ofayo. Izingelosi ziphakeme kunabantu, ngoba umuntu wenziwa “waba ngaphansana kukaNkulunkulu.” IHubo 8:5. IE 22.1
Uthi umprofethi: “Ngezwa izwi lezingelosi eziningi zihaqe isihlalo sobukhosi.” Zilindile phambi kweNkosi yamakhosi— “izingelosi zakhe, ezenza okwezwi lakhe,” “izigidigidi zezingelosi,” iSambulo 5:11; iHubo 103:20, 21; Heberu 12:22. Njengezithunywa zikaNkulunkulu “zigijima njengombane,” indlela ezishesha ngayo. Ingelosi eyabonakala ethuneni loMsindisi “ukubonakala kwayo kwakunjengonyazi,” yenza ukuthi abaqaphi bathuthumele ngokwesaba, “baba njengabafileyo.” Ngesikhathi uSaneheribi ehlambalaza uNkulunkulu esabisa nolsrayeli, “kwaphuma ingelosi kaJehova, yabulala ekamu labaseAsiriya abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi ayisishiyagalombili nesihlanu,” Hezekeli 1:14; Mathewu 28:3, 4; 2 Amakhosi 19:35. IE 22.2
