CHIKAMU CHINOGADZWA
Ini ndakanyora mukati Kunyengedza Kukuru nhevedzano yekuti danho rakagadzirirwa "kusangana kwekupedzisira." Pasi rose rakapihwa chikafu chakadzikama cheDhiragoni, sezvo muvengi achiedza kukwezva mweya isingaverengeke kubva kuna Mwari ne "michero nemiriwo" yenhema - rugare rwenhema, kuchengetedzeka kwenhema, uye chitendero chenhema. Asi Mwari, ane nyasha dzakazara panowanda zvivi, akagadzirirawo mabiko. Uye Ari kuda kutumira kukoka kunzira dzepasi rose kukoka "vakanaka nevakaipa", chero ani achauya (Matt 22: 2-14).
Iuto raMaria diki kugadzirira izvozvi mu "iyo Bastion”Achatumwa kunokoka vanhu.
AKABEREKWA KWEMA HORA
Mhandara Yakaropafadzwa, "mukadzi akapfekedzwa muzuva," ari kubereka vakasara vakagadzirirwa nguva ino yeevhangeri. Inoti muMagwaro kuti,
Akazvara mwanakomana, mukomana mukomana, akafanirwa kutonga nyika dzese netsvimbo yedare. Mwana wake akakwidzwa kuna Mwari nechigaro chake cheushe. (Zvak. 12: 5)
Kana vakasara ava vaumbwa zvizere, icha'kwidzwa kudenga nechigaro chake cheushe. ' Ndokunge, ichapihwa nyowani jasi resimba rake rizere.
[Iye] akatimutsa pamwe chete naye, akatigarisa naye kudenga muna Kristu Jesu, kuti munguva dzinouya aratidze fuma isingaenzaniswi yenyasha dzake muunyoro kwatiri muna Kristu Jesu. (VaEfeso 2: 6-7)
Rimwe remazera iwayo nderiri kuuya: iro Era rerunyararo. Asi pamberi pazvo, panofanira kuve ne Hondo huru yemweya.
Zvekare zvakare, rangarira kuti "Mukadzi" kuna Zvakazarurwa 12 ndiMaria uye Chechi. Saka kunyange Chechi yakasara ichi "yatorwa ichienda Kudenga", inotiwo:
Mukadzi amene akatizira kurenje kwaakawana nzvimbo yakagadzirirwa naMwari, kuti agotarisirwa ikoko kwemazuva gumi nemaviri nemakumi matanhatu. (Zvak. 12: 6)
Kureva, Chechi ichiri panyika. Haana "kubvutwa" seizvo vamwe vanotenda zvisizvo. Asi, uyu akasara ane pfungwa yakanangana nezvinhu zviri kumusoro achigara pano pasi; vanhu vakasiya zvinhu zvenyika ino, vakagamuchira zvinhu zvaMwari; boka rinotora zvimwe zvese sekurasikirwa kuti riwane Kristu, uye nekudaro rinogovana:
mukuzara uku maari, iye ari musoro weutungamiriri hwose nesimba. (VaK. 2:10)
"Mukadzi-Kereke" inoramba iri pasi pano kuti ibereke "huwandu hwakazara hwevaHedeni", asi yakachengeteka pamweya uye yakachengeteka mukutizira kwemoyo waMwari, wakafukidzwa mumucheka wesimba rake. Ndiko kuti, ndiye akapfeka Mwanakomana.
THE 1260 MAZUVA
Mushure mokunge mukadzi asununguka, kune hondo kudenga. Sezvo ini ndakanyora mukati Kununurwa kweDhiragoni, ino ichave nguva apo vakasara, mu simba nechiremera chezita raJesu, achakanda Satani "pasi" (Zva 12: 9). Inguva huru yekuparidza evhangeri uye chikamu chemhedziso inoshamisa yeiyi "kusangana kwekupedzisira" sekudaidzwa kwaitwa naPapa John Paul - nguva inogara makore matatu nehafu, sekureva kweMagwaro (zvinomiririra zvimwe zve "nguva pfupi".) ndizvo Nguva yeZvapupu zviviri:
Ndichachaira zvapupu zvangu zviviri kuti zviporofite kwemazuva gumi nemaviri nemakumi matanhatu, zvakapfeka masaga. (Zvak. 11: 3)
Izvi zvapupu zviviri, kunyangwe zvingave zvichitaura nezvekudzoka kwaEria naEnoki, zvakare zvinomiririra mauto aMaria, kana chikamu chayo, chakagadzirirwa chirevo chechiporofita chemazuva ekupedzisira engoni. Ndiyo Awa Yekukohwa Kukuru.
Shure kwaizvozvo Ishe akagadza vamwe makumi manomwe nevaviri vaakatuma mberi kwake vari vaviri vaviri, kuguta rega rega nenzvimbo imwe neimwe yaaida kushanyira. Akati kwavari, “Kukohwa kukuru asi vashandi vashoma. saka kumbira tenzi wegoho kuti atumire vashandi mukukohwa kwake. Enda hako; Ndiri kukutumai samakwayana pakati pamapere. Usatakura chikwama chemari, kana saga, kana hwashu; uye musakwazisa munhu panzira. ” (Ruka 10: 4)
Iyi ndiyo mweya yakateerera kudana ku "Budai muBhabhironi!”Muhupenyu hwakareruka, kune"Kuzvipira Disposession”Yezvinhu zvekunyama kuti zviwanikwe kuna Mwari kune chero basa raAkavagadzirira. Kunyanya kuda pfuma kunogadzira ruzha mumweya unovhara izwi raMwari. Nekupesana, mweya wedare unogonesa mweya kuti unzwe mirairo yayo yenguva dzino:
Pfuma yake, munhu anoshaya njere: akafanana nemhuka dzinoparadzwa. (Pisarema 49:20)
Uku kureruka kwemoyo kunoratidzwa nezvapupu zviviri "zvakapfeka masaga."
Ndinotenda awa achave mazuva eiyo kusefa kwekupedzisira pamberi pa “musuwo weAreka”Inovhara, uye iyo Zuva raIshe anosvika kuzonatsa pasi kune "budiriro yerudo" (onawo Mamwe Mazuva maviri kuti unzwisise zvinorehwa ne "Zuva".
Muguta ripi neripi ramunopinda uye vakakugamuchirai, idyai zvinoiswa pamberi penyu, poresai vanorwara varimo uye muti kwavari, 'Ushe hwaMwari hwaswedera.' Chero guta raunopinda uye vasingakugamuchire, enda kumigwagwa uye uti, 'Guruva reguta rako rakanamatira kutsoka dzedu, kunyangwe isu tinokuzunzira iwe.' Asi zivai izvi: umambo hwaMwari hwava pedyo. Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Zvicharerukira Sodhoma nezuva iro kupfuura guta iro pakutongwa. (Ruka 10: 8-15)
UMAMBO HWAMWARI HWASWEDZA
Ichave nguva yezviratidzo nezvishamiso zvinoshamisa sezvo zvapupu izvi zvichazivisa kuti Humambo hwaMwari hwava pedyo (Zva 11: 6). Ichave nguva iyo Satani achasangana nekukuvadzwa kwakaputsika pasi pechitsitsinho che "Mukadzi-Chechi" uyo achatungamirirwa nekutungamira kwaMwari.
Dhiragoni payakaona kuti yakandirwa pasi, yakatevera mukadzi aive abereka mwana mukomana. Asi mukadzi akapihwa mapapiro maviri egondo guru, kuti akwanise kubhururukira kunzvimbo yake murenje, uko kure nenyoka, akachengetwa kwegore, makore maviri, nehafu yegore. (Zva 12: 13-14)
Zvino, anonyora St. John, iyo hondo inopinda muchikamu chayo chekupedzisira nekusimuka kweChikara kubva mugomba rakadzika uye kutambudzwa kwevose avo "vanochengeta mirairo yaMwari uye vanopupurira Jesu" (Rev 11: 7; 12: 17; 24: 9).
Iva nechokwadi cheizvi: Kristu neMuviri wake vachakunda mukati ose nhanho yekupokana kwekupedzisira. Iye achave ari padyo nesu kupfuura mweya wedu. Tichararama nekufamba uye kuve kwedu maari. Hapana chaanoita pasina kutanga audza vaporofita vake (Amosi 3: 7). Inguva ino yandinotenda we zvakasikwa. Mwari ngavakudzwe!
Ndanetseka manje. Asi chii chandinofanira kutaura? 'Baba, ndiponesei panguva ino'? Asi ndizvo zvandakauyira panguva ino. Baba, kudzai zita renyu, kubva zvino ndinokuudzai zvisati zvaitika, kuti, kana zvichiitika, mugotenda kuti ndini. (Johani 13:19)
