Itrone kaYehova ihleli phezu kwesibingelelo seenkwenkwezi, iphakamile ngokukhwankqisayo, nemiphetho yengubo yakhe yangaphantsi iphumele emoyeni wengcwele. Zimjikelezile, iiserafi ezinobuqaqawuli obubengezelayo, zixhotyiswe ngamaphiko amathandathu: amabini ukufihla ubuso bazo obungcwele, amabini ukugquma iinyawo zazo zasesibhakabhakeni, amabini ukucanda isibhakabhaka ngokubhabha. Bacula iculo lendumiso enyulu eyenza imida yezinto ezingcwele kunye ne-ethereal ingcangcazele: «Ingcwele, ingcwele, ingcwele iNkosi yezihlwele zasesibhakabhakeni! Indalo iphela yimboniso yozuko lwakhe olungenakubaliswa! Imibundu iyashukuma, ishukuma ukuya kwiziseko, phantsi kwengxolo yamazwi abo, kwaye ilifu lomsi ongaqondakaliyo ligubungela yonke into.
Isikhalo sam sonxunguphalo saphula ukuthula kwasezulwini. Athi ke mna, ngokuba ndigwetyiwe! Ndingumntu nje ofayo ongcoliswe yintsholongwane eyingozi, ehlala phakathi kwabantu abonakele ngokulinganayo; ukanti amehlo am okukhangela eNkosini enguMongami, uYehova wemikhosi.
Ngelo xesha, iserafi, isidalwa esinamaphiko amathandathu amenyezelayo, igxalathelana ukuza kum, ibambe ngesithawu ilahle elivuthayo elivela esibingelelweni sasezulwini. Kamsinya nje yakuba iserafi ichukumisa imilebe yam ngelahle elivuthayo, ivakalisa oku: “Ekubeni eli lahle lifike emlonyeni wakho, ibhuqiwe kwaphela intsholongwane yakho, ingabikho ebusweni bakho. Umzimba wakho uphilisiwe, ingqondo yakho iphakanyiswe, kwaye umphefumlo wakho ukhululekile. Akukho nto iphinda ingcolise ubundina bakho, obubonisa ulungelelwaniso kunye nemigangatho ebekwe nguSomandla kwindalo. Yonke iseli yakho ihambelana ngokugqibeleleyo nokungapheliyo. Unjengokukhawulwe nguMdali: ngokomfanekiselo nangokufana naye. Iimpethu azisayi kuphinda zikwenze ube isidlo sazo; kuba iimpethu ziya kuzidla zingabi sabakho. Umboniso udlamkile ngokukhanya kwe-ethereal kunye nomsi ongaqondakaliyo, ugxininisa inguqu enzulu kunye nokungenelela kukaThixo.
Esibhakabhakeni sisaqaqambile ngamandla kaThixo, ilizwi elibi loMongami onguSomandla livakala njengendudumo: “Ndothuma bani na? Ngubani na oya kuba ligorha lentando yaM?” Ngalo lonke ixesha lokuphefumla kwam ngenkalipho ezelwe ngokutsha kunye nokuzimisela okungapheliyo, ndiphendula ngamandla: “Ndilapha Tata, ndilungile kwaye ndingoyiki. Ndithumelele!”
