UMUTHI osongeneko we-oliva ungabonakala ungasililitho nawumadaniswa nomuthi womsedari weLibhanoni. Kodwana umuthi we-oliva yikurunarha ekwazi ukukghodlhelela nebujamweni obubudisi. Eminye yemithi le seyineminyaka eyi-1 000 ikhona. Imirabhu yawo ithabalala itjhinge ngaphasi kwehlabathi, begodu umuthi lo ungabuye umile nanyana isirumulo sawo singaquntulwa. Imirabhu yawo nayisaphila nakanjani uzokumila godu.

Nendoda ethembekileko uJobho yaba nethemba lokuthi nanyana ingahlongakala, izokubuye iphile godu. (Jobho 14:13-15) Yasebenzisa isibonelo somuthi—mhlamunye wona we-oliva lo—nayizakuveza bona imthemba kangangani uZimu bona uzayivusa. UJobho wathi: “Mbala kunethemba emthini, nakube uyagawulwa . . . [ubuya] uhlume godu.” Nakungana izulu ngemva kwesomiso, isiqu somuthi owomileko we-oliva singabuya sihlume godu “njengesitjalo esincani.”—Jobho 14:7-9.

Wena owabona umlimi alulukela ukubona umuthi we-oliva owakatjwako ukhula godu, kunjalo nangoJehova uZimu, ukulinde ngabovu ukuvusa iinceku zakhe nabanye abantu abanengi. (Matewu 22:31, 32; Jwanisi 5:28, 29; IzEnzo 24:15) Akhucabange nje bona kuzokuba mnandi kangangani ukwamukela abantu abavusiweko!
