Lowani m'chingalawamo, iwe ndi apabanja ako onse; pakudza masiku asanu ndi awiri ndigwetse mvula pa dziko lapansi masiku makumi anayi usana ndi usiku. (Gen. 7: 1, 4)
CHIVOMEZI CHACHIKULU
Mbale Yachisanu ndi chiwiri itatsanulidwa, chiweruzo cha Mulungu pa ufumu wa Chilombo chikufika pachimake.
Mngelo wacisanu ndi ciwiri anatsanulira mbale yace mumlengalenga. Ndipo munatuluka mawu m'Kachisi pampando wachifumu, ndi kunena, Zachitika. Kenako kunamveka mphezi, kunjenjemera, ndi mabingu, ndi chivomerezi chachikulu. Kunali chivomerezi champhamvu kwambiri kotero kuti sipanakhaleko chofanana ndi chimenechi kuyambira pomwe anthu adayamba padziko lapansi ... Miyala ikuluikulu yamatalala ngati zolemera zazikulu zidatsikira kumwamba kuchokera pa anthu… (Rev 16: 17-18, 21)
Mawu, "Zatha, ”Akubwereza mawu omaliza a Kristu pa Mtanda. Monga chivomerezi chomwe chidachitika ku Kalvare, chivomezi chimachitika ku nsonga za "kupachikidwa" kwa Thupi la Khristu, wolumala ufumu wa Wotsutsakhristu ndikuwonongeratu Babulo (wophiphiritsira machitidwe adziko lapansi, ngakhale atha kukhalanso malo enieni.) Kugwedezeka Kwakukulu komwe kunatsagana ndi Kuunikira ngati chenjezo tsopano wakwaniritsidwa. Wokwera pahatchi yoyera akubwera tsopano, osati pochenjeza, koma chiweruzo chotsimikizika pa oyipa-chifukwa chake, kachiwiri, tikumva ndikuwona chithunzi chomwecho monga Chisindikizo Chachisanu ndi chimodzi cha Kuunika, bingu la chilungamo:
Kenako kunakhala ziphaliwali, kugunda, ndi mabingu, ndi chivomerezi chachikulu ... (Chiv 16:18)
M'malo mwake, pakutsegulira Chisindikizo Chachisanu ndi chimodzi, timawerenga kuti "mlengalenga mudagawika ngati mpukutu wopukutidwa wopindidwa." Chomwechonso, Yesu atamwalira pa Mtanda - mphindi yotsimikizika ya kuweruza kwa Atate pa anthu kwanyamulidwa ndi Mwana Wake - Lemba limati:
Ndipo, tawonani, chinsalu chotchinga chapakati chinang'ambika pakati kuyambira kumwamba kufikira pansi. Nthaka inagwedezeka, miyala inang'ambika, manda anatseguka, ndipo matupi a oyera mtima ambiri amene anali m'tulo anaukitsidwa. Ndipo adatuluka m'manda mwawo atawukitsidwa, nalowa mumzinda woyera, ndipo adawonekera kwa ambiri. (Mat 27: 51-53)
Bowl Yachisanu ndi chiwiri itha kukhala nthawi yoti a Mboni awiriwa aukitsidwe. Kwa Yohane Woyera alemba kuti adauka kwa akufa "masiku atatu ndi theka" ataphedwa. Izi zitha kukhala zophiphiritsira zaka zitatu ndi theka, ndiye kuti, pafupi ndi TSIRIZA za ulamuliro wa Wokana Kristu. Pakuti timawerenga kuti panthawi yomwe adzaukitsidwa, chivomerezi chikuchitika mumzinda, mwina ku Yerusalemu, ndipo "gawo limodzi mwa magawo khumi a mzindawo lidagwa".
Anthu zikwi zisanu ndi ziwiri anaphedwa panthawi ya chivomerezicho; ena onse anachita mantha napatsa ulemerero kwa Mulungu wa Kumwamba. (Chiv 11: 12-13)
Kwa nthawi yoyamba panthawi ya chiwonongeko chonse, timamva Yohane akulemba kuti kulipo kulapa pamene "adalemekeza Mulungu wa Kumwamba." Apa tikuwona chifukwa chomwe Abambo Atchalitchi amati kutembenuka mtima kwa Myuda, mwa zina, ndi a Mboni Awiriwo.
Ndipo Enoch ndi Eliya wa ku Thesbite adzatumizidwa ndipo 'adzatembenuzira mitima ya atate kwa ana,' kutanthauza kuti, adzatembenuza sunagoge kwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu ndi kulalikira kwa Atumwi. —St. John Damascene (686-787 AD), Dokotala wa Mpingo, De Fide Orthodoxa
Kulira kosasunthika, kulira maliro, ndi kulira kudzakhala paliponse… Amuna adzafunafuna thandizo kwa Wokana Kristu ndipo, chifukwa sangathe kuwathandiza, adzafika pozindikira kuti si Mulungu. Pamapeto pake akamvetsetsa momwe awapusitsira kwambiri, adzafunafuna Yesu Khristu. — St. Hippolytus, Zambiri Zokhudza Wokana Kristu, Dr. Franz Spirago
Kuuka kwa mboni ziwirizi kukuyimiridwa ndi oyera mtima omwe adauka pambuyo pa kuuka kwa Khristu ndipo "adalowa mumzinda woyera" (Mat 27:53; onaninso Chiv 11:12)
cHIGONJETSO
Pambuyo pa imfa Yake, Yesu anatsikira kwa akufa kuti akamasule miyoyo yomangidwa muukapolo wa Satana. Momwemonso, chophimba cha kachisi wakumwamba chatsegulidwa ndipo Wokwera pahatchi yoyera akutuluka kudzamasula anthu ake ku kuponderezana ndi Wokana Kristu.
Kenako ndinaona kumwamba kutatseguka, ndipo panali hatchi yoyera; wokwera wake amatchedwa Wokhulupirika ndi Woona… Ankhondo akumwamba adamtsata Iye, wokwera pa akavalo oyera ndi kuvala bafuta woyera woyera… Kenako ndinaona chilombocho pamodzi ndi mafumu a dziko lapansi ndi magulu awo ankhondo atasonkhana kuti amenyane ndi wokwera pahatchi uja ndi gulu lake lankhondo. Chilombocho chinagwidwa limodzi ndi mneneri wonyenga uja amene anachita pamaso pake zizindikiro zomwe anasocheretsa nazo iwo amene analandira chizindikiro cha chilombo ndi iwo amene analambira fano lake. Awiriwo adaponyedwa amoyo mu dziwe lamoto loyaka sulufule. (Ciy. 19:11, 14, 19-20)
Ndipo atachita izi kwa zaka zitatu ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi yokha, adzawonongedwa ndi kubwera kwachiwiri kwaulemerero kuchokera kumwamba kwa Mwana wobadwa yekha wa Mulungu, Ambuye wathu ndi Mpulumutsi Yesu, Khristu weniweni, amene adzapha Wokana Kristu ndi mpweya pakamwa pake, nadzampereka iye kumoto wa gehena. —St. Cyril waku Jerusalem, Doctor Doctor (c. 315-386), Maphunziro a Katekisimu, Nkhani XV, n. 12
Iwo amene amakana kupatsa Mulungu ulemerero pambuyo pa chivomerezi chachikulu amachitiridwa chilungamo pamene khomo la Likasa limasindikizidwa ndi dzanja la Mulungu:
iwo anachitira mwano Mulungu chifukwa cha mliri wa matalala chifukwa mliriwu udali waukulu ... Ena onse adaphedwa ndi lupanga lomwe lidatuluka mkamwa mwa wokwera kavalo… (Rev 16:21; 19:21)
Malupanga awo adzaboola mitima yawo; mauta awo adzathyoledwa. (Masalmo 37:15)
Pomaliza, Satana adzamangidwa kwaunyolo “zaka chikwi” (Chiv 20: 2) pamene Mpingo udzalowa mu Nyengo Yamtendere.
Padzakhala vuto lina mu 'dziko lakumadzulo' ili vuto la chikhulupiriro chathu, koma tidzakhalanso ndi chitsitsimutso cha chikhulupiriro, chifukwa chikhulupiriro chachikhristu ndichowona, ndipo chowonadi chidzakhalapobe mdziko la anthu, ndipo Mulungu adzakhala woona nthawi zonse. Mwanjira imeneyi, pamapeto pake ndili ndi chiyembekezo. -POPE BENEDICT XVI, kufunsa mafunso ali pandege popita ku WYD Australia, LifesiteNews.com, July 14th, 2008
NTHAWI YA MTENDERE
Kuchokera pamavuto asanu ndi limodzi adzakupulumutsa, ndipo pa lachisanu ndi chiwiri palibe choipa chidzakukhudza. (Yobu 5:19)
Chiwerengero "zisanu ndi ziwiri" cha mphika womaliza, womwe ndi kukwaniritsidwa kwa Lipenga lachisanu ndi chiwiri, ukuimira kukwaniritsidwa kwa Chiweruzo cha osapembedza ndipo akukwaniritsa mawu a wolemba Masalmo kuti:
Ochita zoipa adzadulidwa; koma iwo amene alindira Yehova adzalandira dziko lapansi. Yembekezera pang'ono, ndipo woipa adzatha psiti; uwafunefune ndipo sadzapezekapo. (Masalmo 37: 9-10)
Ndikutuluka kwa Dzuwa Lachilungamo—kutacha ya Tsiku la Ambuye — otsalira okhulupirika adzatulukira kudzatenga dzikolo.
M'dziko lonse, atero AMBUYE, magawo awiri mwa atatu a iwo adzadulidwa ndi kutayika, ndipo gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatuwo lidzatsala. Ndidzabweretsa gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatuwo pamoto, ndipo ndidzawayenga monga momwe siliva amayengedwa, ndipo ndidzawayesa ngati momwe golide amayesera. Adzaitana pa dzina langa, ndipo ndidzamvera iwo; Ndidzati, Ndiwo anthu anga, ndipo adzati, Yehova ndiye Mulungu wanga. (Zekariya 13: 8-9)
Monga momwe Yesu adauka kwa akufa "tsiku lachitatu," momwemonso, ofera za chisautso ichi adzauka mu zomwe Yohane Woyera amatcha "chiukitsiro choyamba":
Ndinaonanso miyoyo ya iwo amene anadulidwa mutu chifukwa cha umboni wawo wa Yesu ndi chifukwa cha mawu a Mulungu, ndi amene sanalambire chirombo kapena fano lake kapena kulandira chizindikiro chake pamphumi pawo kapena m'manja. Iwo anakhala ndi moyo ndipo analamulira pamodzi ndi Khristu zaka chikwi. Otsala a akufa sanakhalanso ndi moyo kufikira kudzatha zaka chikwi. Uku ndiko kuuka koyamba. (Chiv 20: 4)
Malinga ndi aneneriwo, osankhidwa a Mulungu amayika mapembedzedwe awo ku Yerusalemu kwa "zaka chikwi," ndiye kuti, "nthawi yamtendere" yowonjezera.
Atero Ambuye Yehova, Inu anthu anga, ndidzatsegula manda anu, ndi kutuluka m'menemo, ndi kukubwezerani m'dziko la Israyeli. Ndidzaika mzimu wanga mwa inu kuti mukhale ndi moyo, ndipo ndidzakukhazikitsani m'dziko lanu; motero mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova… Pamenepo aliyense amene adzaitana pa dzina la Yehova adzapulumutsidwa; Pakuti pa phiri la Ziyoni padzakhala otsala, monga Yehova wanena, ndi opulumuka m'Yerusalemu amene Yehova adzaitana. (Ezek. 37: 12-14;Yoweli 3: 5)
Kubwera kwa Wokwera pahatchi yoyera sindiko Kubweranso Komaliza kwa Yesu m'thupi pamene Iye abwera kudzaweruzidwa komaliza, koma kutsanulidwa kwathunthu kwa Mzimu Wake wolemekezedwa mu Pentekoste Yachiwiri. Ndikutsanulira kukhazikitsa bata ndi chilungamo, kutsimikizira Nzeru, ndikukonzekeretsa Mpingo wake kuti umulandire Iyemkwatibwi wangwiro ndi wopanda banga."Ndikulamulira kwa Yesu" m'mitima mwathu, "malinga ndi St. Louis de Montfort, pomwe" atumwi a nthawi zomaliza "adayamba" kuwononga tchimo ndikukhazikitsa ufumu wa Yesu.
