Sitingathe kubisa kuti mitambo yambiri yowopseza ikubwera pafupi. Sitiyenera kutaya mtima, komabe, tiyenera kusunga lawi la chiyembekezo m'mitima mwathu. Kwa ife monga akhristu chiyembekezo chenicheni ndi Khristu, mphatso ya Atate kwa anthu… Khristu yekha ndi amene angatithandize kumanga dziko momwe chilungamo ndi chikondi zimalamulira. —PAPA BENEDICT XVI, Catholic News Agency, Januware 15, 2009
THE Mkuntho Wamkulu wafika pagombe laumunthu. Posachedwa ipita padziko lonse lapansi. Pakuti pali Kugwedeza Kwakukulu anafunika kudzutsa umunthu uwu.
Atero Yehova wa makamu: Taonani! Tsoka limayenderera kuchokera ku mtundu wina kupita ku mtundu wina; chimphepo chachikulu chimayamba kuchokera kumalekezero a dziko lapansi. (Yeremiya 25:32)
Pamene ndimaganizira za masoka owopsa omwe akuchitika mwachangu padziko lonse lapansi, Ambuye adandiwonetsa yankho kwa iwo. Pambuyo pake 911 ndi Tsunami waku Asia; pambuyo pa mphepo yamkuntho Katrina ndi moto wolusa waku California; mphepo yamkuntho itachitika ku Mynamar komanso chivomerezi ku China; mkati mwa mphepo yamkuntho yomwe ilipo-sipanakhalepo kuzindikira kosatha kuti tiyenera kulapa ndikusiya zoyipa; kulibe kulumikizana kwenikweni kuti machimo athu akuwonekera m'chilengedwe (Aroma 8: 19-22). Mwa chodabwitsazi, mayiko akupitiliza kulembetsa kapena kuteteza mimba, amasinthanso maukwati, amasintha komanso kupanga zachilengedwe, ndikuyika zolaula m'mitima ndi m'mabanja. Dziko lalephera kupanga kulumikizana kwakuti kopanda Khristu, kulipo chisokonezo.
Inde… CHISokonezo ndi dzina la Mkuntho.
Kodi sizikuwonekeratu kuti zingatenge zambiri kuposa mphepo yamkuntho kudzutsa m'badwo uno? Kodi Mulungu sanakhale wachilungamo komanso wodekha, woleza mtima komanso wachifundo? Kodi Iye sanatitumizire ife kuchuluka kwa aneneri kuti atibwezeretse ku malingaliro athu, kubwerera kwa Iye?
Ngakhale simunamvere kapena kusamvera, Yehova anakutumiziranitu atumiki ake onse, aneneri, kuti, Mubwerere yense kuleka njira yake yoyipa ndi njira zake zoipa; pamenepo mudzakhala m'dziko limene Yehova anakupatsani inu ndi makolo anu, kuyambira kalekale kufikira nthawi za nthawi. Osatsata milungu yachilendo kuti muitumikire ndi kuipembedza, kuopa kuti mungandikwiyitse ndi ntchito zanu, ndipo ndikubweretserani zoyipa. Koma simunandimvere, ati Yehova, ndipo munandikwiyitsa ndi ntchito za manja anu, ndi kubvulaza inu. (Yeremiya 25: 4-7)
MOYO NDI WOPATULIKA!
Njira ya m'Baibulo ya chilango ndi "lupanga, njala, ndi miliri" (onani Yer 24:10) - zowawa zomwe Khristu adazinena - ndi ziweruzo zazikulu za m'buku la Chivumbulutso. Kenanso, China amabwera m'maganizo… mpaka liti dzikolo lingapirire masoka ake opangidwa ndi anthu komanso masoka achilengedwe asanachitike analibe malo oti anthu ake asamuke? Lolani kuti likhale chenjezo kwa Canada ndi America, mayiko okhala madzi ochuluka, dziko, komanso mafuta osakongola achuluka. Simungataye mimba ana anu ndikutsogolera dziko lapansi kuwononga banja lachikhalidwe osakolola zomwe mumabzala!
Kodi pali amene akumvetsera?
Ndikulumbira sindisangalala ndi imfa ya munthu woyipa, koma ndikutembenuka mtima kwa woyipayo, kuti akhale ndi moyo. Bwererani, tembenukani kuleka njira zanu zoipa! (Ezekieli 33:11)
Mapeto a nthawi ino ali pa ife. Ndi chiweruzo chachifundo, chifukwa Mulungu sadzalola kuti munthu adziononge yekha, kapena Mpingo wake.
Atero Ambuye Yehova, Tsoka lidzagwera tsoka; Onani ikubwera! Mapeto akubwera, mapeto akubwera pa iwe! Onani ikubwera! Nthawi yafika, m'bandakucha. Pachimake wafika kwa inu okhala m'dziko lapansi! Nthawi yafika, layandikira tsiku: nthawi yachisokonezo, osati yosangalala… Onani, tsiku la YEHOVA! Onani, mapeto akubwera! Kusayeruzika kwakula bwino, chipongwe chikuchulukirachulukira, ziwawa zawuka kuti zithandizire zoyipa. Sizingachedwe kubwera, kapena kuzengereza. Nthawi yafika, m'bandakucha. Wogula asasangalale kapena wogulitsa asalire, chifukwa mkwiyo udzakhala pa iye onse khamu… (Ezekieli 7: 5-7, 10-12)
Simungamve mphepo? A latsopano Era Wamtendere kukucha, koma osati izi zisanathe.
CHINTHU CHOMWE CHINKHALIDWA
Kutengera ndi Abambo Oyambirira a Mpingo ndi olemba zamatchalitchi, ndikuwunikiridwa ndi vumbulutso lenileni lachinsinsi komanso mawu a Apapa amakono, pali nthawi zinayi zosiyana zomwe Mphepo yamkuntho idafika. Kutalika kwa magawo awa ndi chinthu chomwe sitingakhale otsimikiza, kapena ngakhale atha kumaliza m'badwo uno. Komabe, zochitika zikuchitika mwachangu kwambiri ndipo ndikumva kuti Ambuye akundiuza kuti nthawi ili, kwambiri mwachidule, ndikuti mwachangu kuti tipitilize kukhala ogalamuka ndipo pempherani.
Zowonadi Ambuye Mulungu sachita kanthu, osawululira chinsinsi chake kwa atumiki ake aneneri… Ndanena izi kwa inu kuti musapatuke… (Amosi 3: 7; Yohane 16: 1)
Gawo Loyamba
Gawo Loyamba ndi gawo la mbiriyakale kale: nthawi yochenjezeratu. Makamaka kuyambira 1917, Dona Wathu wa ku Fatima ananeneratu kuti Mphepo yamkuntho ikanabwera ngati sipangakhale kulapa kokwanira ndi nzika zapadziko lapansi. Woyera Faustina adalemba mawu omwe Yesu adampatsa, kuti Iye ndi "kutalikitsa nthawi ya chifundo m'malo mwa ochimwa"Ndikuti iyi inali"kusaina nthawi zomaliza.”Mulungu wapitilizabe kutumiza Dona wathu, yemwe walankhula nafe mwachindunji, kapena kudzera mwa anthu osankhidwa: zamatsenga, owona, ndi mizimu ina yomwe ikugwira ntchito yolosera, yomwe yachenjeza za Mkuntho womwe ukubwera womwe ungamalize nthawi yachisomo.
Dziko lapansi likukumana ndi mphepo zamkuntho zamkuntho. Yesu adawatcha awa “zowawa za pobereka” (Luka 21: 10-11). Sakusonyeza kutha kwa nthawi, koma kumapeto kwa nthawi. Gawo ili la Mkuntho lidzakula mwankhanza kale ndi Diso la Mkuntho ifikira umunthu. Chilengedwe chidzatigwedeza ife, ndipo chitonthozo chadziko lapansi ndi chisungiko zidzagwa pansi ngati nkhuyu zamtengo (Yeremiya 24: 1-10).
Gawo Lachiwiri
Ndi tsoka lomwe lakantha madera ambiri padziko lapansi, ndi Diso la Mkuntho idzawoneka modzidzimutsa pamwamba. Mphepo zidzatha, bata lidzaphimba dziko lapansi, ndipo kuunika kwakukulu kudzawala m'mitima yathu. Mukamphindi, aliyense aziona ngati momwe Mulungu amaonera miyoyo yawo. Ili ndiye Ora lalikulu la Chifundo lomwe lingapatse dziko lapansi mwayi wolapa ndikulandira chikondi ndi chifundo cha Mulungu chopanda malire. Kuyankha kwa dziko lapansi panthawiyi kudzatsimikizira kuopsa kwa Gawo Lachitatu.
GAWO Lachitatu
Nthawi imeneyi ibweretsa kutha kwanthawi ino komanso kuyeretsedwa kwa dziko lapansi. Pulogalamu ya Diso la Mkuntho adzakhala atadutsa, ndipo mphepo zazikulu zidzayambiranso mwaukali. Ndikukhulupirira Wokana Kristu adzauka mgawoli, ndipo kwakanthawi kochepa adzaphimba Dzuwa, kubweretsa mdima waukulu padziko lapansi. Koma Khristu adzaswa mitambo yoipa ndikupha "wosayeruzikayo", ndikupha, kuwononga ulamuliro wake wapadziko lapansi, ndikukhazikitsa ulamuliro wachilungamo ndi chikondi.
Koma Wokana Kristu uyu akadzawononga zinthu zonse m'dziko lino lapansi, adzalamulira zaka zitatu ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, nadzakhala m'kachisi ku Yerusalemu; ndipo Ambuye adzadza… natumiza munthu uyu ndi iwo akumtsata m'nyanja yamoto; koma ubwereretsere olungama nthawi za ufumu, ndiye kuti, zotsala, tsiku lopatulidwa lachisanu ndi chiwiri. —St. Irenaeus waku Lyons, Zidutswa, Buku V, Ch. 28, 2; kuchokera ku The Early Church Fathers and Other Works, lofalitsidwa mu 1867.
GAWO LACHINAYI
Mphepo yamkuntho idzakhala itayeretsa dziko lapansi ku zoipa ndipo, kwa nthawi yayitali, Mpingo udzalowa mu nthawi yopuma, umodzi wosayerekezeka, ndi mtendere (Chiv 20: 4). Chitukuko chidzakhala chosavuta ndipo munthu adzakhala pamtendere ndi iyemwini, ndi chilengedwe, komanso koposa zonse ndi Mulungu. Ulosi udzakwaniritsidwa, ndipo Mpingo udzakhala wokonzeka kulandira Mkwati wake pa nthawi yoikika ndi yodziwika ndi Atate okha. Kubweranso kwa Khristu muulemerero kudzatsogoleredwa ndi kuwuka komaliza kwa satana, chinyengo cha amitundu ndi "Gogi ndi Magogi" pomaliza Era Wamtendere.
Mphepo yamkuntho ikangodutsa, munthu woipa sakhalaponso; koma wolungama akhazikika nthawi zonse. (Miy 10:25)
NTHAWI YA KUKONZEKERETSA YATHA
Abale ndi alongo, monga Atate Woyera adanena pamwambapa, mkuntho uli Pano, Ndikukhulupirira kuti, Mphepo Yamkuntho Yaikulu ikuyembekezeka kwazaka zambiri. Tiyenera kukhala okonzekera zomwe zikubwera popanda kutaya chiyembekezo. Mwachidule, izi zikutanthauza kukhala ndi moyo wachisomo, kuyang'anitsitsa chikondi chake ndi chifundo chake, ndikuchita chifuniro cha Ambuye mphindi ndi nthawi ngati kuti lero ndiye tsiku lathu lomaliza padziko lapansi. Mulungu wakonza, kwa iwo omwe alabadira mu nthawi ino ya chisomo, malo opulumukirako ndi chitetezo chauzimu chomwe, ndikukhulupirira, chidzakhalanso malo opambana a kufalitsa komanso. Apanso, izi nthawi yokonzekera yomwe ikufika kumapeto silo buku lothandizira kuti mudziteteze koma ndikutikonzekeretsa kulengeza Dzina la Yesu mu mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera, china chake chomwe Mpingo umayitanidwa kuchita nthawi zonse, m'badwo uliwonse, komanso m'malo aliwonse.
Zolinga ziwiri zomveka bwino zikutsalira patsogolo pathu: Choyamba ndikusonkhanitsa miyoyo yambiri momwe tingathere Likasa isanafike Gawo Lachitatu; chachiwiri ndikudzipereka kwathunthu kwa Mulungu ngati mwana, amene amayang'anira ndi kusamalira Mpingo wake ngati Mkwati wa Mkwatibwi Wake.
Musaope.
Pakuti afesa mphepo, ndipo adzakolola kamvuluvulu. (Hos 8: 7)
