I. Ni Lazima Mtu Ashuhudie Kipengele cha Ukweli Kuhusu Kupata Mwili kwa Mungu

10. Kwa nini ni kwa kupitia na kuitii kazi ya Mungu mwenye mwili pekee ndipo mtu anaweza kumjua Mungu?

Aya za Biblia za Kurejelea:

“Na Neno alifanywa kuwa mwili, na akakaa kati yetu, (nasi tukautazama utukufu wake, utukufu kama ule wa Mwana wa pekee aliyezaliwa na Baba,) aliyejawa neema na ukweli” (Yohana 1:14).

“Mimi ndiye njia, ukweli na uhai: hakuna mwanadamu ayaje kwa Baba, bali kwa njia yangu. Kama ninyi mngelinijua, pia mngelimjua Baba yangu: na kuanzia sasa mnamjua, na mmemwona” (Yohana 14:6-7).

“Mimi niko ndani ya Baba, na Baba yuko ndani ya mimi” (Yohana 14:10).

“Mimi na yeye Baba yangu tu mmoja” (Yohana 10:30).

Maneno Husika ya Mungu:

Wakati Mungu alikuwa bado hajawa mwili, watu hawakuelewa mengi ya Alichosema kwa sababu kilitoka katika uungu kamilifu. Mtazamo na muktadha wa kile Alichosema ulikuwa hauonekani na haufikiwi na mwanadamu; ulionyeshwa kutoka katika ulimwengu wa kiroho ambayo watu wasingeweza kuiona. Kwa watu walioishi katika mwili, wasingeweza kupita katika ulimwengu wa kiroho. Lakini baada ya Mungu kuwa mwili, Aliongea na mwanadamu kutoka katika mtazamo wa ubinadamu, na Alitoka kwa na, na akazidi mawanda ya ulimwengu wa kiroho. Angeweza kuonyesha tabia Yake ya uungu, mapenzi, na mtazamo, kupitia mambo yale ambayo binadamu wangeweza kufikiria na mambo yale wangeweza kuona na kukumbana nayo katika maisha yao, kwa kutumia mbinu ambazo binadamu wangeweza kukubali, kwa lugha ambayo wangeweza kuelewa, na maarifa ambayo wangeweza kuelewa, ili kuruhusu mwanadamu kumwelewa na kumjua Mungu, kufahamu nia Yake na viwango Vyake hitajika ndani ya mawanda ya uwezo wao; hadi kufikia kiwango ambacho wangeweza. Hii ndiyo iliyokuwa mbinu na kanuni ya kazi ya Mungu kwa ubinadamu. Ingawa njia za Mungu na kanuni Zake za kufanya kazi katika mwili ziliweza kutimizwa sana kwa, au kupitia kwa ubinadamu, ziliweza kwa kweli kutimiza matokeo ambayo yasingeweza kutimizwa kwa kufanya kazi moja kwa moja katika uungu. Kazi ya Mungu katika ubinadamu ilikuwa thabiti zaidi, halisi, na yenye malengo, mbinu zilikuwa zaweza kubadilika kwa urahisi zaidi, na kwa umbo iliweza kupita Enzi ya Sheria.

kutoka katika “Kazi ya Mungu, Tabia ya Mungu, na Mungu Mwenyewe III” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Mungu anafanya kazi mpya katika siku za mwisho. Atafichua tabia Yake zaidi, na haitakuwa huruma na upendo wa wakati wa Yesu. Kwa kuwa Ana kazi mpya, kazi hii mpya itaandamana na tabia mpya. Kwa hiyo kama kazi hii ingefanywa na Roho—kama Mungu hangepata mwili, na badala yake Roho angenena moja kwa moja kupitia radi ili mwanadamu hangekuwa na njia ya kuwasiliana na Yeye, je, mwanadamu angejua tabia yake? Kama Roho tu Angefanya kazi, basi mtu hangekuwa na njia yoyote ya kujua tabia Yake. Watu wanaweza tu kuona tabia ya Mungu kwa macho yao wenyewe wakati Anapopata mwili, wakati ambapo Neno laonekana katika mwili, na Anaonyesha tabia Yake yote kupitia mwili. Mungu kweli huishi kati ya wanadamu. Anaonekana; mwanadamu anaweza kweli kujihusisha na tabia Yake na kile Anacho na Alicho; ni kwa njia hii tu ndiyo mwanadamu anaweza kumjua kweli.

kutoka katika “Maono ya Kazi ya Mungu (3)” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Kimsingi, ujio wa Mungu katika mwili ni kuwawezesha watu kuona matendo halisi ya Mungu, kumfanya Roho asiye na umbo kuwa bayana katika mwili, na kuwapa watu fursa ya kumwona na kumgusa. Kwa njia hii, wanaokamilishwa Naye wataishi kwa kumfuata Yeye, watamfaidi na kuupendeza moyo Wake. Mungu angalinena kutoka mbinguni tu, na hakika asije duniani, basi bado watu hawangeweza kumjua, wangeweza tu kuyahubiri matendo ya Mungu kwa kutumia nadharia tupu, na hawangekuwa na maneno ya Mungu kama uhalisi. Mungu amekuja duniani kimsingi kuwa mfano na kielelezo kwa wale ambao wamepatwa na Mungu; ni kwa njia hii pekee ndio watu wanaweza kumjua Mungu kwa hakika, na kumgusa Mungu, na kumwona, na hapo ndipo wanaweza kupatikana na Mungu kwa kweli.

kutoka katika “Unapaswa Kujua kuwa Mungu wa Vitendo Ni Mungu Mwenyewe” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Ndani ya upana wa kazi ambayo Bwana Yesu alikamilisha katika Enzi ya Neema, unaweza kuona kipengele kingine cha kile Alicho nacho Mungu na kile Alicho. Kilionyeshwa kupitia kwa mwili Wake, na kikawezeshwa kwa watu kuiona na kufahamu zaidi kupitia kwa ubinadamu Wake. Ndani ya Mwana wa Adamu, watu waliweza kuona namna ambavyo Mungu katika mwili alivyoishi kwa kudhihirisha ubinadamu Wake, na wakaona uungu wa Mungu ulioonyeshwa kupitia kwa mwili. Aina hizi mbili za maonyesho ziliwaruhusu watu kuweza kumwona Mungu aliye halisi sana, na kuwaruhusu kuwa na dhana tofauti ya Mungu. Hata hivyo, katika kipindi cha muda kati ya uumbaji wa ulimwengu na mwisho wa Enzi ya Sheria, yaani, kabla ya Enzi ya Neema, kile kilichoonekana, kilichosikizwa, na kupitiwa na watu kilikuwa tu kipengele kitakatifu cha Mungu. Kilikuwa kile ambacho Mungu alifanya na kusema katika himaya ile isiyoshikika, na mambo ambayo Aliyaonyesha kutoka katika nafsi Yake halisi ambayo yasingeweza kuonekana au kuguswa. Mara nyingi, mambo haya yaliwafanya watu kuhisi kwamba Mungu alikuwa mkubwa sana, na kwamba wasingeweza kusonga karibu na Yeye. Picha ambayo Mungu kwa kawaida aliwapa watu ilikuwa kwamba Alionekana akipotea, na watu walihisi hata kwamba kila mojawapo ya fikira na mawazo Yake yalikuwa yenye mafumbo mno na yasiyoeleweka mno kiasi kwamba hakukuwa na njia ya kuyafikia, isitoshe hata kujaribu kuelewa na kuyashukuru. Kwa watu, kila kitu kuhusu Mungu kilikuwa cha mbali—mbali mno kiasi kwamba watu wasingeweza kukiona, wasingeweza kukigusa. Ilionekana Alikuwa juu katika mbingu, na ilionekana kwamba Hakukuwepo kamwe. Hivyo basi kwa watu, kuelewa moyo na akili ya Mungu au kufikiria Kwake kokote kusingeweza kutimizika, na hata kufikika. … Katika kipindi cha Muda ambacho Bwana Yesu alikuwa akifanya kazi, watu wangeweza kuona kwamba Mungu alikuwa na maonyesho mengi ya kibinadamu. Kwa mfano, Aliweza kucheza, Aliweza kuhudhuria harusi, Aliweza kuwasiliana kwa karibu na watu, kuongea na wao, na kujadili mambo pamoja nao. Aidha, Bwana Yesu aliweza pia kukamilisha kazi nyingi zilizowakilisha uungu Wake, na bila shaka kazi Yake yote ilikuwa ni maonyesho na ufichuzi wa tabia ya Mungu. Katika kipindi hiki, wakati uungu wa Mungu ulitambuliwa kupitia kwa mwili wa kawaida ambao watu wangeweza kuona na kugusa, hawakuhisi tena kwamba Alikuwa akionekana na kutoweka, na kwamba wangeweza kumkaribia. Kinyume cha mambo ni kwamba, wangejaribu kuelewa mapenzi ya Mungu au kuuelewa uungu Wake kupitia kila hatua, maneno, na kazi ya Mwana wa Adamu. Mwana wa Adamu mwenye mwili alionyesha uungu wa Mungu kupitia kwa ubinadamu Wake na kuwasilisha mapenzi ya Mungu kwa binadamu. Na kupitia maonyesho ya mapenzi na tabia ya Mungu, Aliwafichulia watu yule Mungu asiyeweza kuonekana au kuguswa katika ulimwengu wa kiroho. Kile watu walichoona kilikuwa Mungu Mwenyewe, anayeshikika na aliye na mwili na mifupa. Hivyo basi Mwana wa Adamu mwenye mwili Alifanya mambo kama vile utambulisho binafsi wa Mungu, hadhi, taswira, tabia, na kile Alicho nacho na kile Alicho kuwa thabiti na kupewa picha ya binadamu. Ingawa sura ya nje ya Mwana wa Adamu ilikuwa na upungufu fulani kuhusiana na taswira ya Mungu, kiini Chake na kile Alicho nacho na kile Alicho yote hayo yaliweza kwa kikamilifu kuwakilisha utambulisho na hadhi binafsi ya Mungu—kulikuwa tu na tofauti fulani katika jinsi ya maonyesho. Bila kujali kama ni ubinadamu wa Mwana wa Mungu au uungu Wake, hatuwezi kukana kwamba Aliwakilisha utambulisho na hadhi binafsi ya Mungu mwenyewe. Katika kipindi hiki cha muda, hata hivyo, Mungu alifanya kazi kupitia mwili, Akaongea kutoka kwa mtazamo wa mwili, na kusimama mbele ya mwanadamu kwa utambulisho na hadhi ya Mwana wa Adamu, na hili liliwapa watu fursa ya kukumbana na kupitia maneno na kazi ya kweli ya Mungu miongoni mwa binadamu. Iliweza pia kuwaruhusu watu kuwa na utambuzi wa uungu Wake na ukubwa Wake katikati ya unyenyekevu, vilevile na kupata ufahamu wa mwanzo na ufafanuzi wa mwanzo wa uhalali na uhalisi wa Mungu.

kutoka katika “Kazi ya Mungu, Tabia ya Mungu, na Mungu Mwenyewe III” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Miliki na uwepo wa Mungu, kiini cha Mungu, tabia ya Mungu—yote yamewekwa wazi katika maneno Yake kwa binadamu. Anapopitia maneno ya Mungu, katika mchakato wa kuyatekeleza mwanadamu atapata kuelewa kusudi la maneno Anayonena Mungu, na kuelewa chemichemi na usuli wa maneno ya Mungu, na kuelewa na kufahamu matokeo yaliotarajiwa ya maneno ya Mungu. Kwa binadamu, haya ni mambo yote ambayo mwanadamu lazima ayapitie, ayatambue, na kuyafikia ili kuufikia ukweli na uzima, kutambua nia ya Mungu, kubadilishwa katika tabia yake, na kuweza kutii mamlaka ya Mungu na mipango. Katika wakati huo ambao mwanadamu anapitia, anafahamu, na kuvifikia vitu hivi, atakuwa kupata kumwelewa Mungu polepole, na katika wakati huu atakuwa pia amepata viwango tofauti vya ufahamu kumhusu Yeye. Kuelewa huku na maarifa havitoki katika kitu ambacho mwanadamu amefikiria ama kutengeneza, ila kutoka kwa kile ambacho anafahamu, anapitia, anahisi, na anashuhudia ndani yake mwenyewe. Ni baada tu ya kufahamu, kupitia, kuhisi, na kushuhudia vitu hivi ndipo ufahamu wa mwanadamu kumhusu Mungu utapata ujazo, ni maarifa anayopata katika wakati huu pekee ndio ulio halisi, wa kweli na sahihi, na mchakato huu—wa kupata kuelewa kwa kweli na ufahamu wa Mungu kwa kuelewa, uzoefu, kuhisi, na kushuhudia maneno Yake—sio kingine ila ushirika wa kweli kati ya mwanadamu na Mungu. Katikati ya aina hii ya ushirika, mwanadamu anakuja kuelewa kwa dhati na kufahamu nia za Mungu, anakuja kuelewa kwa dhati na kujua miliki na uwepo wa Mungu, anakuja na kuelewa kujua kwa kweli kiini cha Mungu, anakuja kuelewa na kujua tabia ya Mungu polepole, anafikia uhakika wa kweli kuhusu, na ufafanuzi sahihi wa, ukweli wa mamlaka ya Mungu juu ya vitu vyote vilivyoumbwa, na kupata mkondo kamili kwa na ufahamu wa utambulisho wa Mungu na nafasi Yake.

kutoka katika “Kumjua Mungu Ndiyo Njia ya Kumcha Mungu na Kuepuka Maovu” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Katika kipindi hiki akimfuata Yesu, Petro alikuwa na maoni mengi kuhusu Yeye na siku zote Alimhukumu kutokana na mtazamo wake. Ingawa alikuwa na kiwango fulani cha ufahamu wa Roho Mtakatifu, Petro hakuwa ametiwa nuru sana, na haya yanaonekana katika maneno yake aliposema: “Lazima nimfuate yeye aliyetumwa na Baba wa mbinguni. Lazima nimtambue yule aliyechaguliwa na Roho Mtakatifu.” Hakuelewa mambo yale ambayo Yesu alifanya na wala hakupata nuru yoyote. Baada ya kumfuata kwa muda fulani alivutiwa kwa kile alichofanya Yeye na kusema, na kwa Yesu Mwenyewe. Alikuja kuhisi kwamba Yesu alivutia upendo na heshima; alipenda kujihusisha na Yeye na kuwa kando Yake, na kusikiliza maneno Yake Yesu kulimpa ruzuku na msaada. Katika kipindi kile alichomfuata Yesu, Petro alitazama na kutia moyoni kila kitu kuhusu maisha Yake: Matendo Yake, maneno Yake, mwendo Wake na maonyesho Yake. Alipata ufahamu wa kina kwamba Yesu hakuwa kama binadamu wa kawaida. Ingawa mwonekano Wake wa binadamu ulikuwa wa kawaida kabisa, Alijaa upendo, huruma, na ustahimilivu kwa binadamu. Kila kitu alichokifanya au kusema kilikuwa chenye msaada mkubwa kwa wengine, na akiwa kando Yake, Petro aliona na kujifunza mambo ambayo hakuwahi kuyaona wala kuyasikia awali. Aliona kwamba ingawa Yesu hakuwa na kimo kikubwa wala ubinadamu usio wa kawaida, Alikuwa na umbo la ajabu na lisilo la kawaida kwa kweli. Ingawa Petro hakuweza kuyafafanua kabisa, aliweza kuona kwamba Yesu alikuwa na mwenendo tofauti na kila mtu mwingine, kwani Aliyafanya mambo yaliyokuwa tofauti kabisa na yale yaliyofanywa na binadamu wa kawaida. Tangu wakati huo akiwa na Yesu, Petro alitambua pia kwamba hulka Yake ilikuwa tofauti na ile ya binadamu wa kawaida. Siku zote alikuwa na mwenendo dhabiti na hakuwahi kuwa na haraka, hakupigia chuku wala kupuuza chochote, na aliyaishi maisha Yake kwa njia iliyokuwa ya kawaida na ya kuvutia. Katika mazungumzo, Yesu alikuwa mwenye madaha na uzuri, mwenye uwazi na mchangamfu ilhali pia mtulivu, na Hakuwahi kupoteza heshima Yake katika utekelezaji wa kazi Yake. Petro aliona kwamba Yesu wakati mwingine alikuwa mnyamavu, ilhali nyakati nyingine alizungumza kwa mfululizo. Wakati mwingine Alikuwa na furaha sana kiasi cha kwamba aligeuka na kuwa mwepesi na mchangamfu kama njiwa, na ilhali nyakati nyingine Alihuzunika sana kiasi cha kwamba hakuzungumza kamwe, ni kana kwamba alikuwa mama aliyeathirika na hali ya hewa. Nyakati nyingine Alijawa na hasira, kama askari jasiri anayefyatuka kuwaua adui, na wakati mwingine hata kama simba anayenguruma. Nyakati nyingine Alicheka; nyakati nyingine aliomba na kulia. Haijalishi ni vipi Yesu alivyotenda, Petro alizidi kuwa na upendo na heshima isiyokuwa na mipaka Kwake. Kicheko cha Yesu kilimjaza kwa furaha, huzuni Yake ikamtia simanzi, hasira Yake ikamtetemesha, huku huruma Zake, msamaha na ukali vyote vikamfanya kuja kumpenda Yesu kwa kweli, na akaweza kumcha na kumtamani kwa kweli. Bila shaka, Petro alikuja kutambua haya yote kwa utaratibu baada ya kuishi kando yake Yesu kwa miaka michache.

kutoka katika “Namna Petro Alivyopata Kumjua Yesu” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Upendo wa Mungu umeonyeshwa katika kazi Yake: ni baada tu ya kupitia kazi Yake ndipo wanaweza wakagundua upendo Wake, ni katika matukio wanayopitia ya hakika tu ambapo wanaweza kufahamu upendo wa Mungu. Kuna mengi ya kupendeza kumhusu Mungu, lakini bila ya kujihusisha na Yeye kwa hakika watu wengi hawana uwezo wa kuyagundua. Hivi ni kusema, kama Mungu asingefanyika mwili, watu wasingekuwa na uwezo wa kujihusisha na Yeye, na kama wasingekuwa na uwezo wa kujihusisha na Yeye, pia wasingeweza kupitia Kazi Yake—na kwa hivyo upendo wao kwa Mungu ungetiwa doa la uongo mwingi na mawazo. Upendo wa Mungu ulio mbinguni si halisi kama upendo wa Mungu ulio ulimwenguni, kwa kuwa ufahamu wa watu kuhusu Mungu aliye mbinguni umejengwa katika mawazo yao, bali si kwa yale ambayo wameyaona kwa macho yao, na yale ambayo wameyapitia wao wenyewe. Mungu anapokuja ulimwenguni, watu wanaweza kuyaona matendo Yake halisi na upendo wake, na wanaweza kuona kila kitu katika matendo na tabia Zake za kawaida, ambayo ni mara elfu halisi kuliko ufahamu wa Mungu aliye mbinguni. Bila kujali ni vipi ambavyo watu wanampenda Mungu aliye mbinguni, hakuna kitu halisi kuhusu huu upendo, na umejaa mawazo ya kibinadamu. Haijalishi udogo wa upendo wao kwa Mungu aliye duniani, huu upendo ni halisi; hata kama ni kidogo, ungali ni halisi. Mungu huwafanya watu kumjua kupitia kazi halisi, na kupitia ufahamu huu Anapata upendo wao. Ni kama Petro: kama hangeishi na Yesu, haingewezekana yeye kumwabudu Yesu. Aidha, huu uaminifu ulijengwa kwenye uhusiano wake na Yesu. Ili kumfanya mwanadamu ampende, Mungu amekuja miongoni mwa wanadamu na kuishi na wanadamu, na yote Anayomfanya mwanadamu kuona na kupitia ni uhalisi wa Mungu.

kutoka katika “Wanaompenda Mungu Wataishi Milele Katika Mwangaza Wake” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Ikiwa Mungu hangekuwa mwili ili kufanya kazi na kumwongoza mwanadamu uso kwa uso, ikiwa Hangeathiriana na mwanadamu na kuishi na mwanadamu wakati wote, basi kuuelewa upendo wa Mungu kwa kweli kisingekuwa kitu rahisi kufanya.

Mwanadamu na Mungu kimsingi hawafanani na wanaishi katika dola mbili tofauti. Mwanadamu hawezi kuielewa lugha ya Mungu, sembuse kuyaelewa mawazo ya Mungu. Ni Mungu pekee ndiye Anayemwelewa mwanadamu na haiwezekani kwa mwanadamu kumwelewa Mungu. Kwa hiyo, Mungu ni lazima Awe mwili na awe wa aina sawa na mwanadamu (akionekana kwa nje kuwa sawa, kuvumilia fedheha na maumivu mengi ili kuwaokoa binadamu, ili waweze kuielewa na kuifahamu kazi ya Mungu. Kwa nini Mungu siku zote Anamwokoa mwanadamu na hajawahi kukata tamaa? Hii si kwa sababu ya upendo Wake kwa mwanadamu? Anamwona binadamu akiharibiwa na Shetani na Hawezi kuvumilia kuacha au kukata tamaa. Kwa hivyo ana mpango wa usimamizi. Kama ingekuwa wanavyofikiri watu na Angewaangamiza binadamu punde tu anaposhikwa na hasira, basi kusingekuwa na haja ya kuteseka kwa njia hii kumwokoa mwanadamu. Na hasa ni kwa sababu ya maumivu yaliyopitiwa na kupata mwili Kwake ndiyo upendo Wake unavumbuliwa kidogokidogo na binadamu na unafahamika kwa watu wote. Kama Mungu asingefanya kazi ya aina hii sasa, watu wangejua tu kwamba kuna Mungu mbinguni na kwamba Anawapenda binadamu. Hali ingekuwa hivi, hiyo ingekuwa mafundisho tu, na watu kamwe wasingeweza kuuona na kuupitia upendo wa Mungu wa kweli. Ni kwa Mungu tu kufanya kazi Yake katika mwili ndipo watu wanaweza kuwa na uelewa wa kweli juu Yake. Ufahamu huu si wa kufikirika au mtupu na wala siyo mafundisho ambayo mtu anayaunga mkono kwa maneno matupu, lakini badala yake ni ufahamu wa kweli sana, kwa sababu upendo ambao Mungu anampatia mwanadamu ni wa manufaa ya kweli. Kazi hii inaweza kufanywa tu kupitia kupata mwili Kwake; Roho Mtakatifu hawezi kufanya kazi hiyo badala Yake.

kutoka katika “Je, Unauelewa Upendo wa Mungu kwa Binadamu?” katika Kumbukumbu za Maongezi ya Kristo

Kwa wale wote ambao wanaishi katika mwili, kubadilisha tabia zao kunahitaji kuwe na malengo ya kufuata, na kumjua Mungu kunahitaji kushuhudia matendo halisi na sura halisi ya Mungu. Yote haya yanaweza kufikiwa tu na Mungu mwenye mwili, na yote yanaweza kukamilishwa na mwili wa kawaida na halisi. Hii ndiyo maana kufanyika mwili ni muhimu, na kwa nini kunahitajika na wanadamu wote wapotovu. Kwa kuwa watu wanahitajika kumjua Mungu, taswira za Mungu wa kufikirika na wa kimiujiza inapaswa iondolewe kutoka katika mioyo yao, na kwa kuwa wanahitajika kutupilia mbali tabia yao iliyopotoka, kwanza wanapaswa kujua tabia yao iliyopotoka. Ikiwa mwanadamu anafanya kazi ili kuondoa taswira za Miungu wasio dhahiri kutoka katika mioyo ya watu, basi atashindwa kupata matokeo sahihi. Taswira za Miungu wasio dhahiri katika mioyo ya watu haziwezi kuwekwa hadharani, kutupwa, au kufukuzwa kabisa kwa maneno pekee. Kwa kufanya hivyo, mwisho wake haitawezekana kuondoa vitu hivi vilivyokita mizizi kwa watu. Ni Mungu anayeonekana tu na mwenye taswira halisi ya Mungu ndiyo inayoweza kuchukua nafasi ya vitu hivi visivyo dhahiri na vya kimiujiza ili kuwaruhusu watu kuvielewa taratibu, na ni kwa njia hii pekee ndipo matokeo mazuri yanaweza kupatikana. Mwanadamu anatambua kwamba Mungu aliyekuwa anamtafuta huko nyuma ni asiye dhahiri na wa kimiujiza. Kile ambacho kinaweza kufanikisha matokeo haya sio uongozi wa moja kwa moja wa Roho, sembuse mafundisho ya mtu fulani, bali ni Mungu mwenye mwili. Dhana za mwanadamu zinakuwa wazi pale ambapo Mungu mwenye mwili atafanya kazi Yake rasmi, kwa sababu ukawaida na uhalisi wa Mungu mwenye mwili ni kinyume na nadharia za Mungu asiye dhahiri na wa kufikirika katika fikra za mwanadamu. Dhana asili za mwanadamu zinaweza tu kudhihirishwa kupitia tofauti zao na Mungu mwenye mwili. Bila ulinganisho na Mungu mwenye mwili, dhana za mwanadamu zisingefichuliwa; kwa maneno mengine, bila tofauti ya uhalisi vitu visivyo dhahiri visingefichuliwa. Hakuna anayeweza kutumia maneno ili kufanya kazi hii, na hakuna anayeweza kuizungumzia kazi hii kwa kutumia maneno. Ni Mungu Mwenyewe pekee ndiye Anayeweza kufanya kazi Yake, na hakuna mtu mwingine anayeweza kufanya kazi hii kwa niaba Yake. Haijalishi lugha ya mwanadamu ni pevu kiasi gani, hawezi kuzungumzia uhalisi na ukawaida wa Mungu. Mwanadamu anaweza tu kumjua Mungu zaidi kwa utendaji, na anaweza tu kumwona kwa uwazi zaidi, ikiwa Mungu binafsi anafanya kazi miongoni mwanadamu na anaonyesha kikamilifu sura Yake na uungu Wake. Athari hii haiwezi kupatwa na mwanadamu yeyote yule mwenye mwili. … Kwa hiyo, mwanadamu aliyepotoka anahitaji zaidi wokovu wa Mungu mwenye mwili, na anahitaji zaidi kazi ya moja kwa moja ya Mungu mwenye mwili. Mwanadamu anamhitaji Mungu mwenye mwili ili kumchunga, kumsaidia, kumnywesha maji, kumlisha, kumhukumu na kumwadibu, na anahitaji neema zaidi na wokovu mkubwa kutoka kwa Mungu mwenye mwili. Ni Mungu katika mwili pekee ndiye anayeweza kuwa msiri wa mwanadamu, mchungaji wa mwanadamu, msaada wa mwanadamu uliopo kila mara, na hii yote ni ulazima wa kufanyika mwili leo na katika nyakati za nyuma.

kutoka katika “Mwanadamu Aliyepotoka Anahitaji Zaidi Wokovu wa Mungu Mwenye Mwili” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Leo unaweza kumwabudu huyu mtu, lakini kwa hakika unamwabudu Roho. Hiki ndicho kiwango cha chini kabisa kinachopaswa kufahamiwa kuhusu ufahamu wa watu kuhusu Mungu aliyepata mwili: kujua kiini cha Roho kupitia kwa mwili, kujua kazi ya uungu ya Roho katika mwili na kazi ya wanadamu katika mwili, kukubali maneno yote ya Roho na matamshi katika mwili, na kuona jinsi Roho wa Mungu anauelekeza mwili na kudhihirisha uwezo Wake katika mwili. Hivi ni kusema kuwa, mwanadamu anapata kumjua Roho aliye mbinguni kupitia kwa mwili; kuonekana kwa Mungu wa vitendo Mwenyewe miongoni mwa wanadamu kumemwondoa Mungu asiye yakini kutoka katika dhana za wanadamu; ibada ya watu kwa Mungu wa vitendo Mwenyewe imeongeza utiifu wao kwa Mungu; na kupitia kwa uungu wa kazi ya Roho wa Mungu katika Mwili, na kazi ya wanadamu katika miili, mwanadamu hupata ufunuo, na kuongozwa, na mabadiliko hupatikana katika tabia ya maisha yake. Hii tu ndiyo maana halisi ya ujio wa Roho katika mwili, kimsingi, ili kwamba watu waweze kushirikiana na Mungu, kumtegemea Mungu, na kuupata ufahamu wa Mungu.

kutoka katika “Unapaswa Kujua kuwa Mungu wa Vitendo Ni Mungu Mwenyewe” katika Neno Laonekana katika Mwili

Kikundi cha watu ambao Mungu mwenye mwili Anataka kupata leo ni wale wanaokubali mapenzi Yake. Watu wanahitaji tu kutii kazi Yake, sio daima kujishughulisha na mawazo ya Mungu aliye mbinguni, waishi ndani ya hali isiyo dhahiri, au kufanya mambo kuwa magumu kwa Mungu mwenye mwili. Wale ambao wanaweza kumtii ni wale wanaoyasikia kabisa maneno Yake na kutii mipango Yake. Watu hawa hawajali kamwe jinsi Mungu mbinguni alivyo kwa kweli au ni kazi ya aina gani Mungu wa mbinguni Anafanya sasa kwa wanadamu, lakini wao humpa Mungu aliye duniani mioyo yao kabisa na kuweka nafsi zao zote mbele Yake. Kamwe hawazingatii usalama wao wenyewe, na hawalalamiki juu ya ukawaida na utendaji wa Mungu katika mwili. Wale wanaomtii Mungu katika mwili wanaweza kukamilishwa na Yeye. Wale wanaomwamini Mungu mbinguni hawatapata kitu. Hii ni kwa sababu si Mungu mbinguni, lakini ni Mungu hapa duniani ndiye Anayetoa ahadi na baraka juu ya watu. Watu hawapaswi daima kumtukuza Mungu aliye mbinguni na kumwona Mungu duniani kama mtu wa wastani. Hii si haki. Mungu mbinguni ni mkuu na wa ajabu na mwenye hekima ya ajabu, lakini hii haipo kabisa. Mungu duniani ni wa wastani sana na asiye na maana; Yeye pia ni wa kawaida sana. Hana mawazo ya ajabu au vitendo vya kimiujiza. Anatenda tu na kuongea kwa njia ya kawaida na ya matendo. Ingawa Hazungumzi kwa njia ya ngurumo au kuita upepo na mvua, Yeye kwa kweli ni mwili wa Mungu aliye mbinguni, na kwa kweli ni Mungu anayeishi kati ya wanadamu. Watu hawapaswi kumtukuza yule wanayeweza kumwelewa na ambaye analingana na mawazo yao wenyewe kama Mungu, au kumwona Yeye ambaye hawawezi kumkubali na kabisa hawawezi kufikiria kama wa chini. Yote haya ni uasi wa watu; yote ni chanzo cha upinzani wa wanadamu kwa Mungu.

The region now modernly

known as North Beach was once infamous as the Barbary Coast District renown for

prominence in prostitution and gambling which emerged from the destitute

society of those bankrupt by the gold rush. Once an actual beach, it was later,

the area developed into a residential and commercial region by the end of the

19th century, but the remnant influence of the aberrant society. During

the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the region was rebuilt largely through the

use of immigrant labor consisting primarily of Italian and Chinese society; in

fact during the great fires, many Italians were credited for helping to contain

the fire by drenching their houses in red wine[1] . The region was known for the large number of immigrants and became the precursors to the Italian district and Chinatown. Vesuvio and City Lights Bookstore is embedded in this region in a semi liminal region between the two communities which emerged as a consequence of the development of this region; in fact it lies adjacent to Broadway St. infamous for the clubs consisting of nudity and inebriety. Although, our sites of interest came in the mid 1900’s the region largely represented a lack of affluence, prompting the collaboration among many society to be largely accepting of the diversity in which this community is composed. No wonder the Beatnik culture which emerged in the 1950’s in North Beach became largely accepted and although the movement was ephemeral, the society and notions of the past are largely preserved.

Keurig announced at the end of 2014 that they were recalling almost 7.2 million of their MINI Plus Brewing Systems. These machines were reported for causing burn injuries (some very severe) to the face and extremities. There were a total of 6.6 million machines in the United States and over 500,000 in Canada recalled by the company in December. The recall was issued after Keurig received over 200 reports of liquid leaving the machine and causing severe burns. So far there are over 90 burn injuries reported.

10:15 –10:30 SPOTLIGHT: UNDERSTANDING CHINA’S GENERATION WHY

Today’s Chinese youth have very different attitudes than their parents. They have grown up with social media, and expect a more open society and a freer flow of information. They also desire many of the products and services common in the rich nations. How can business best reach these new consumers? What are their dreams and frustrations?

Learning Modules | Practice Modules | Test Modules | All in the Game Mode

CBAG is “Computer based Abacus Games”. The CBAG CD has Learning, Practice and the Test Modules. Though a student cannot benefit merely with the CD without going to a trainer, the CD enables through the dedicated sections of the Learning Module reinforcement of understanding the concepts and benefit of thorough learning, back from the Abacus class. Similarly, there is equally great scope for practice with question papers and create-your-own-question paper possibilities. The student would be in a position to endlessly create scope for practice and thus benefit greatly from it to meet the need of Speed & Accuracy (and not accuracy alone). With the un-ending scope for drawing practice boards that keep dropping down before the student, the objective is more than fulfilled. Likewise with the test module - here again, innumerable no. of question papers which become the most essential element before the competitions, are made available. The student could access with any number of test papers which come handy for the best of practice.

If attaining proficiency in Mental Arithmetic by image of Abacus and enhancing the brain skills – unflinching Concentration, fine-quality listening skills and creativity are what the student looks for or the parent expects his ward to possess, then UCMAS CBAG CD fulfills the promise of total accomplishment. While the students of the age group 4 – 13 years greatly benefit out of the life skills, the adults find it greatly satisfying for their concentration levels enhance and their computing skills find new horizons. UCMAS CBAG CD thus would be a great companion for learning and winning.

Understanding the Importance of Krebs /TCA Cycle in Our Bodies

IIn 1953, a British scientist, Professor Hans Adolf Krebs won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine with his discovery that is now called the Krebs Cycle Theory.

The Krebs cycle (TCA Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle) is our body's energy production house and it makes the majority of energy in our body to keep us alive. It is essential and without it we would not exist.

According to Krebs theory, the starch and sugar in the food we eat is converted into glucose, the fats are converted into fatty acids, and the protein in meat and beans is converted into more than 20 types of amino acids. All these nutrients must be combined with acetic acid (from vinegar) before they can enter the citric acid cycle. In this citric acid cycle, these nutrients are converted into energy (adenosine triphosphate, ATP) that can be utilised by the body. During the conversion process, the food is continuously converted into citric acid, which is then converted into cis-Acotinate, isocitrate, a -ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate and oxaloacetate. The cycle repeats itself when the acids are converted back to citric acid.

Maintaining this Krebs Cycle is very important, but the cycle cannot function properly if the body is tired or restricted by an improper diet. When the nutrients are not fully synthesised, the incomplete combustion residue will be converted into pyruvate, which will break down into lactic acid when exposed to hydrogen ion. The accumulation of lactic acid in the body results in muscle aches, pain in the nerves and lethargy. The accumulation of lactic acid in the blood stream results in an acidic body.

Boost Your Kreb's Cycle!

The great news is, if you have a sluggish Krebs Cycle, you can now bring your health back on the right track by improving your Krebs Cycle by using a good energy accessory and supplementing with these natural herbal supplements:

KIGALI, December 16, 2020: Rwanda Development Board has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with trade enabler-DP World to launch its new global B2B and B2C e-commerce platform, Dubuy.com, in Rwanda early next year. The vision of the MoU is to make it easier for Rwandan businesses to engage in international trade.

Rwanda will become DP World’s hub for expanding e-commerce across the East Africa Community and beyond. Rwandan businesses will also benefit from broader DP World services and investment that will help to facilitate and develop trade. This includes the promotion of Rwandan exports of coffee, tea, and horticulture on Dubuy.com, the modernising of Rwanda’s supply chain logistics including in rural areas, and access to digital tools to help businesses save money and expand their reach to local, regional, and global markets.

The decision to launch Dubuy.com in Rwanda follows the country’s consistent superior annual rating in the World Bank’s global “Ease of Doing Business” rankings and its commitment to international trade and investment.

The e-commerce site will bring Rwandan products to global markets and help enterprises from around the world to invest in Rwanda. In turn, Rwandans will have greater access to international products.

DP World has already invested in world-class port and logistics facilities in Kigali, demonstrating its strong belief in Rwanda’s future.

Быть может я вам всем сейчас скажу,

Секрет,

Но не уверен я и в этом,

Но все же, раз об этом я пишу,

Скажу,

И буду без сoмненья прав,

Хоть до сих пор я не уверен,

Но к черту жалкий серый страх!

А может лучше промолчать?

Тогда, раз уж никто и не узнает,

Спокойней будет мне,

И вам,

И дальше буду я в себе держать,

А снег и дальше таять..

Но белый, потом серый, снег

Растает в летнем свете,

А мой секрет

Всю жизнь и будет мукой мне.

Я лишь хотел сказать вам этим,

Что лучше полоснуть чистейшей правдой по глазам,

Чем лить вкуснейшую неправду.

И словно бабочка крылом

Твои слова из чистой правды

Застряли в сердце топором,

А я забыл сказать о главном…

Я не могу так поступать как ты,

Я не могу так сухо молвить факты,

Ведь раньше в сердце был лишь белый свет,

Оставленный твоими черными глазами,

Сейчас там лишь топор,

Оставленный твоими нежными руками.

Я вам скажу, секретов нет,

Мою любовь втоптали в пыль ногами.

Artificial intelligence versus natural intelligence – what are the differences and what do they have in common? How do machines “think,” how do they learn, and what distinguishes us humans from machines? Artificial intelligence in all its complexity is a central focus of the new Ars Electronica Center; after all, this technology is setting off a revolution that will affect our lives in ways that cannot be overestimated. Our goal with the exhibition “Understanding Artificial Intelligence” is to make our visitors “AI savvy” and give them all a basic idea of what artificial intelligence is, how it is already being applied, and what it can already do. The exhibition shows how neural networks are constructed and even offers visitors an opportunity to train them at a number of interactive stations.

Virginia Army National Guard UH-72 helicopter air crews based in Sandston conduct live hoist training with Chesterfield Fire & EMS Scuba Rescue Team personnel Aug. 14, 2013, at the Chesterfield County Public Safety Training Center in Chester, Va. The training was part of an ongoing effort designed to enhance the emergency response capability of each organization in support of the commonwealth's ability to react to and support emergency management operations. After receiving approval from National Guard Bureau, Virginia Army National Guard aviators conducted multiple emergency management training events with local first responders and will continue to train with them over the next 12 months. Previous training sessions focused on basic hoist operations, and the most recent training advanced to a rooftop extraction scenario. This training provides a greater understanding of Guard capabilities and further enhances interoperability between the commonwealth's emergency management partners.

Learn to Read and Write Mandarin Chinese

1. Learn Pinyin. Pinyin is a kind of Chinese writing system. The letters of Pinyin originate from the Rome alphabet, not the Chinese characters. Pinyin is very useful for Chinese learners, even if you haven't learned traditional Chinese characters, you can learn to read and write mandarin with Pinyin. There are many Chinese textbooks with Pinyin, as well as learning materials. Although Pinyin is derived from the Rome alphabet, English native speakers cannot get hang of its pronunciation immediately. Therefore, it is very important to have a correct pronunciation guidance when learning Pinyin.

2. Learn to read Chinese characters. Although recognizing Chinese characters is not a necessity for learning Chinese, many people are attracted by Chinese characters because Chinese characters will make them feel closer to traditional Chinese culture. However, in fact, it is not easy to recognize Chinese characters. In order to understand the contents of the Chinese newspapers, an ordinary Chinese reader needs to familiarise himself with about 2000 Chinese characters - and this is just the beginning. It is said that there are more than 50000 Chinese characters (though some of them are no longer used). The greatest advantage of recognizing Chinese characters is that you can learn more about other cultures, including Cantonese, Japanese and Korean. These languages, though different from Chinese in pronunciation, use Chinese characters (or simplified versions of Chinese characters) in writing.

3. Learn to write Chinese characters. Once you learn to read Chinese characters, you may be interested in the writing of Chinese characters. Learning chinese writing is a complex skill. It requires patience and a little sense of art. The first step in learning Chinese characters writing is to learn the "basic unit", that is, the independent radicals, which form the basis of Chinese characters. There are 214 radicals in Chinese, some radicals are single words, others are just part of complex Chinese characters. When writing Chinese characters, the stroke order is very important. You must follow certain rules - for example, from top to bottom, from left to right, first horizontal and then vertical. If the stroke is not correct, then the word you write is wrong.

4. Read Chinese. If you want to improve the level of Chinese reading, you need to read at least 15-20 minutes a day. First of all, you can read some children's books (basically with Pinyin) to improve your reading level, and of course, you can also find some good materials on the Internet to read. You can also use the Chinese you learned in your daily life. You can try to read the Chinese tags on food, or ask a waiter at a restaurant for a Chinese menu. Once you have improved your reading level, you can get some Chinese newspapers (Chinese version) and try your best to read the articles. This is also a good way to help you understand Chinese culture and current affairs in China.

5. Learn to write Mandarin Chinese every day. In order to improve your Chinese writing level, you can write something in Chinese every day, no matter in Pinyin or in Chinese character. One way is to write a Chinese diary every day, write something about the weather, write what you feel or what you have done every day. If you are brave enough, find some friends who speak Chinese to help you check if there are any mistakes. Or you can also find a Chinese pen pal to write to each other. This is a win-win way, you can improve your Chinese level, and your pen pal can improve his or her English level. You can also ask your pen pal to help you modify your letter and send it back to you in reply. The last way to practice Chinese writing ability is to make a Chinese list, such as shopping lists, or Chinese tags for the household objects.

Getting from Paddington to Victoria Station for the train to Gatwick in the morning tube crush is cheap, but a taxi is easier; no fighting the sweaty crowds or navigation required. Gatwick is harder to navigate if looking for the hire cars. For a while their location looked like a closely guarded secret.

GPS does a good job of getting out of the airport. But heading for East Sussex seemed to require creeping down single lane roads between high hedges in fear of tractors coming the other way; all very picturesque but terribly slow and frustrating.

This is where Dumb Woman's Lane enters the picture, literally. It's a real place and never a better name was given. Some of the fault rested with the navigator failing to switch the default from shortest route to fastest route. That would have helped.

Nevertheless the disembodied women in my phone still wanted to take peculiarly odd routes. For a time it was speculated that there must have been a shoe sale somewhere and she was in fear of missing out. Ignoring her advice and following the occassional sign, an uncommon thing in the British countryside, gave a clue. Would you believe that in the middle of nowhere there are still toll bridges? The toll might only be 40p. But that didn't matter because she still wanted to go shoe shopping.

The moral of this tale is to look deep into those settings least a toll turn into an annoying troll.

This is a Rocketdyne J-2 rocket engine, mounted on a Saturn V S-IVB third stage, on display at the Kennedy Space Center. This engine was designed in the early 1960s using slide rule technology over a period of about five years, demonstrating what can be done with a solid understanding of engineering principles and "low tech'" tools. The engine performed flawlessly throughout the Apollo program... the last one flew in 1975... and the design is currently being updated for use with NASA's planned Space Launch System. Contemporary young engineers have literally crawled around engines on display in museums and blown the dust off 40 year old drawings, concluding "Gee, the original designers really knew what they were doing!"

And just to show I'm not completely biased, the Russian RD-107 engine is another great design; it took shape on the drawing board in the mid 1950s and is still in service, launching cosmonauts and astronauts to the International Space Station today!

History of the Museum

Scientific research and gathering in Austria found relatively late understanding and promotion. Indeed contained the chambers of art and curiosities of the Habsburgs also natural produce but for a long time they have been regarded as mere oddities, not as objects of scientific importance. It was not until Emperor Franz I. (Francis Stephen of Lorraine, 1745-1765), the husband of Maria Theresia, founded in 1748 with the purchase of the famous collection of Johann Baillous a private Naturalienkabinett. It was put up in accordance to Baillous' own scientific system in the Hofburg and was initially managed by this self.

The main emphasis was put on minerals and fossils as well as snail and mussel shells and corals. Plants and animals with soft parts were then (mainly because of the preparation problems) yet little appreciated as collector's items. They were held alive in botanical gardens and menageries.

After the death of Francis I the collection in which the Emperor had invested large sums of money was transferred into state ownership, reorganized and made ​​twice a week accessible to the public. 1776 appointed Maria Theresa, particularly dear to her being mainly the earth sciences as a basis for mining and industry, the excellent mineralogist and montanist Ignaz von Born to Vienna and entrusted him with the systematic expansion of the collection. Born was a leader of the Enlightenment and Freemasonry, he might even have given the model for Sarastro in Mozart's "Magic Flute". With him for "Austria", definitely, dawned the scientific-technological age. The Naturalienkabinett (a cabinet of curiosities) then became a center of mineralogical research in Europe.

The nature-loving Emperor Franz II (I, 1792-1835) expanded the natural history collection for a private animal cabinet. The foundation for this were the trophies of the Habsburgs, which date back to Emperor Maximilian II (1564-1576), as well as the famous collection of prepared native vertebrates and insects of the falconer Joseph Natterer. After several reclassifications followed in 1807 the foundation of a separate plants cabinet. The Emperor lay with the gift of his Privatherbars (private plant collection) the foundation.

The exhibition practice around 1800 was marked by an often curious juxtaposition of little scientific and very progressive tendencies. The stuffed animals were shown in artificial landscape dioramas, ie already in ecological context. Alongside, however, stood also Stopfpräparate (stuffed compounds) of people of non-native breeds such as the "high princely Moor' Angelo Soliman, who came to literary fame.

The eminent scholar and organizer Carl Schreibers who from 1806 until 1851 headed the Natural History Collection, provided for key reforms in all areas. He extented all departments to major research centers and was supported not only by the museum officials, but also by a number of often highly skilled, unpaid volunteers.

On the occasion of the marriage of his daughter Leopoldina with the Brazilian crown prince Dom Pedro in 1817 sent Emperor Franz also well-known researchers to South America. Through their collecting activities, the growth of the museum's experienced a glorious climax. So stayed the zoologist Johann Natterer for 18 years in South America and established an in an exemplary manner documented collection of scientific and ethnographic objects for Vienna. This contributed significantly to the worldwide reputation of the museum, but also led to a decades-long lack of space.

With various, not always felicitous chosen emergency solutions on tried in vain to handle space problems sussesfully. During the revolutionary turmoil of 1848, the Imperial Palace was bombarded by imperial troops and partially set on fire. A part of the collection was destroyed, tragically, also many irreplaceable objects from the Brazilian material.

In the years after the Revolution, the collection was converted into an independent zoological, botanical and mineralogical Hofkabinett (Court cabinet). These cabinets with their extremely rich stocks offered not only ideal possibilities to explore, they contributed to the establishment of scientific disciplines in the university sector in 1870 also considerably to the formation of young scientists. The collections have been enhanced through exchange and purchases, by the collecting activities of the researchers as well as legacies, especially of scientifically inclined travelers, constantly . In addition, the by the Imperial Court generously funded cooperation with the Austrian navy became very important: Especially the circumnavigation of the world of the frigate "Novara" (1857-1859), which was attended by numerous excellent naturalist, gave an exceedingly rich collection of new material to the museum. The scientific word off should take decades.

This scientific Poiniergeist (pioneering spirit), reflecting the general belief in progress in the second half of the 18th Century, was facing the more and more oppressive need of space. Although Emperor Franz Joseph had already in 1857 the razing of the fortification lines around the city center ordered. On the cleared area should along a boulevard alongside other representative public buildings also new museums emerge. Up to the completion of this project, however, it was still a long way to go.

The liberal bourgeoisie then undergoing a steep political and economic upswing was inclined to replace the old cabinets through research and education centers for broad strata of the population and thus make its own cultural advancement clearly visible. But the neo-absolutist empire of the gradually decaying Habsburg monarchy, too, wanted erect itself a modern, artistically accomplished monument: A monumental Imperial Forum following the ancient example was planned, that should be reaching from the Imperial Palace to the royal stables. Realized of it was only a torso: the New Castle and Maria Theresa Square with Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History.

The internal organization of the new 'Imperial and Royal Natural History Court Museum", which on 10 August was officially opened in 1889, goes back to the great geologist, New Zealand researcher and first director of the museum, Ferdinand von Hochstetter, and has been preserved largely in its clear systematic today. However, the proliferation of resources and new demands on the research and display collection activities required new spatial and structural solutions. Thus, an underground storage was created in 1990, which extends under the building on four levels and in fully air-conditioned rooms keeps a portion of the collection material. Due to the roof extension (1991 to 1995) further collection, but also numerous new working rooms were gained.

The research, the preservation and completing of the major scientific collections and the presentation of selected natural objects to this day have not lost any of their topicalities. In a time of increasingly rapid destruction of our environment, they are more important than ever. Just as the white patches have become smaller on the map, penetrates the science into ever smaller areas. Long scanning electron microscope and X-ray equipment have replaced hand magnifier. In the permanent exhibition area visitors also have access to advanced optical devices, especially in "Microcosmos" ( Hall 21). The preservation of collection, too, follows modern conservation knowledge.

Over a century ago, the Museum hace been created for the systematic presentation - the diversity of nature sorted strung together, the palace-like building, the interplay of means and objects as well as the historic atmosphere giving it a distinctive character.

Even with the redesign of many exhibition halls systematic classification was basically retained to make the visitors aware of the immense diversity of life. However, the presentation is successively adapted to the museological requirements and needs of the 21st century. Also presented are interesting topics and new contents in a contemporary didactic form.
