WHY PEOPLE FALL IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
KWANINI WATU HUANGUKA KATIKA UWEPO WA MUNGU
Introduction / Utangulizi
English:
Throughout the Bible, many people fell when they encountered the power, glory, and presence of God. Some fell in worship, some in fear, some under conviction, and others during deliverance.
Swahili:
Katika Biblia, watu wengi walianguka walipokutana na nguvu, utukufu, na uwepo wa Mungu. Wengine walianguka kwa ibada, wengine kwa hofu, wengine kwa kuguswa mioyoni, na wengine wakati wa ukombozi.

> “The house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; so that the priests could not stand to minister… for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.”
2 Nyakati 5:13-14
> “Nyumba ikajaa wingu, naam, nyumba ya Bwana, hata makuhani wasiweza kusimama ili kutumika kwa sababu ya lile wingu; maana utukufu wa Bwana umeijaza nyumba ya Mungu.”
English:
The priests could not stand because God’s glory was too strong.
