Apocalypse yeKrisimesi

 

NGAPHAKATHI Ibali leKrisimesi lilele ipateni ye- amaxesha okuphela. Iminyaka engama-2000 emva kokuxelwa kwayo okokuqala, iBandla liyakwazi ukujonga kwiZibhalo eziNgcwele ngokucacileyo nangokucacileyo njengoko uMoya oyiNgcwele etyhila incwadi kaDaniel- incwadi eyayiza kutywinwa "kude kube lixesha lokuphela" xa umhlaba uzakuba imeko yemvukelo — uwexuko. ^[1]cf. Ngaba isigqubuthelo siyaphakama?

Wena ke, Daniyeli, gcina oku kuyimfihlo, uyitywine nencwadi leyo kude ixesha lesiphelo; Baninzi abaya kukhubeka, nabubi bande; (Daniyeli 12: 4)

Ayikuko ukuba kukho into "entsha" etyhiliweyo, ngomntu ngamnye. Endaweni yoko, yethu ukuqonda ye “iinkcukacha” ezityhilekayo Iya icaca ngakumbi:

Nangona iSityhilelo sele sigqibile, asicaciswanga ngokucacileyo; Ihlala ikukholo lobuKristu ngokuthe ngcembe ukuze ikubambe ngokupheleleyo ukubaluleka kokuhamba kweenkulungwane. —Catechism yeCawa yamaKatolika 66

Ngokuthelekisa ibali leKrisimesi namaxesha ethu, sinokunikwa ukuqonda okungakumbi malunga noku kulapha kunye nokuzayo…

 

UMZALWANA WOKUQALA

Isitixo Ukuqonda oku kufana namaxesha ethu kulele kumbono ka-St. John kwincwadi yeSityhilelo 12 'somfazi owambethe ilanga' esebenza nzima ukuzala umntwana. ^[2]cf. Ukuphila iNcwadi yeSityhilelo

Lo mfazi umele uMariya, uMama woMkhululi, kodwa umele kwangaxeshanye iBandla liphela, Abantu bakaThixo bamaxesha onke, iBandla elihlala libuhlungu, libuye lizale uKrestu ngamaxesha onke. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI ngokubhekisele kwi-Rev 12: 1; UCastel Gandolfo, e-Itali, uAUG. 23, 2006; Zenit

U-St. John ukwathetha ngomqondiso wexesha elinye…

… Inamba enkulu ebomvu, ineentloko ezisixhenxe neempondo ezilishumi, kwiintloko zayo izizithsaba ezisixhenxe. (ISityhi. 12: 3)

Inamba yema phambi komfazi ukuba imqwenge umntwana wayo xa izalayo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, uHerode wenza iyelenqe lokufuna uKumkani owayexelwe kwangaphambili aze ambulale, kuba esoyika ukuba angamhlutha itrone. Usebenzisile inkohliso, ukuxoka kuZazi malunga neenjongo zakhe. Kodwa uThixo wamkhusela umfazi kunye nomntwana wakhe ngokulumkisa iZilumko ephupheni ukuba zingabuyeli kuHerode.

… Ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuYosefu ephupheni, yathi, Vuka, thabatha umntwana nonina, usabele eYiputa, uhlale khona ndide ndikuxelele; UHerode uza kukhangela umntwana ukuze amtshabalalise. ” (Mat 2: 13)

Umfazi ngokwakhe wabalekela entlango apho wayenendawo ayilungiselelwe nguThixo, ukuze anyanyekelwe khona iintsuku ezilishumi elinambini anamanci mathandathu. (ISityhi. 12: 6)

UHerode ulandela uMariya nomntwana wakhe:

Xa uHerode waqondayo ukuba ukhohlisiwe ziingqondi, waba nomsindo. Wayalela ukuba kubulawe onke amakhwenkwe aseBhetelehem nakwimimandla ekufutshane eneminyaka emibini nangaphantsi… (Mat 2:16)

Inamba, ngokufanayo, ilandela nabani na onophawu lukaKrestu:

Yaza inamba yamqumbela umfazi, yaya kulwa nabaseleyo bembewu yakhe, abo bagcina imithetho kaThixo nabangqinayo ngoYesu. (ISityhi. 12:17)

 

UMZALWANA WESIBINI

UkuGubungela

ICawe yamitha uKristu, ungathi, ngePentekoste xa, njengoMariya, wayegutyungelwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Iminyaka engama-2000, iBandla lisebenze kwisizukulwana ngasinye ukuba lizale uYesu ezintliziyweni zezizwe. Nangona kunjalo, ndifuna ukugxila kulo mzekeliso ngelo xesha lithile ukuphela kwe-agXa iCawe yayizokunyamezela loo "ntlungu" ebonisa ukuzala okutsha ebomini bakhe.

Ngo-1967, uMoya oyiNgcwele waligqumelela iBandla kwakhona xa iqela elincinane labafundi baseyunivesithi lafumana “iPentekoste” ngeli xesha uthandaza phambi kweSakramente eliSikelelweyo. "Amandla Oyena Uphakamileyo" afika phezu kwabo, ^[3]cf. ULuka 1:34 kwaye ke ngoko kwavela ukuhlaziywa kweCawa, intshukumo "yesisa" eyasasazeka kwihlabathi liphela. Yamkelwa ngoopopu, bakhuthazwa yimfundiso yakhe yaseburhulumenteni, kwaye yamkelwa njengesipho esivela kuThixo:

Nokuba zingaqhelekanga okanye zilula kwaye zithobekile, izipho zizihombo zoMoya oyiNgcwele ezizuzisa ngokuthe ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo iCawe, eyalelwa njengoko injalo ekwakheni kwakhe, kulunge abantu, nakwiimfuno zehlabathi... Iimpawu ziya kwamkelwa ngombulelo ngumntu owamkelayo kunye nawo onke amalungu eCawa ngokunjalo. Zizinto ezintle zobabalo olumangalisayo lobupostile kunye nobungcwele bawo wonke umzimba kaKristu… -Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. Ngo-799-800

Njengokuba uMariya wayeprofetile kwiMagnificat yakhe ukubhukuqwa "kwabanamandla" nokuphakanyiswa "kwabathobekileyo" -into awayeyifundile eza kuza entlango, uMnqamlezo, ngekrele elihlaba entliziyweni yakhe-ngokunjalo, oku kuthululwa UMoya wayehamba nelizwi lesiprofeto phambi kukaPopu Paul VI:

Kuba ndiyakuthanda, ndifuna ukukubonisa endikwenzayo emhlabeni namhlanje. Mna Ndifuna ukukulungiselela okuzayo. Imihla yobumnyama iyeza Ihlabathi, imihla yeembandezelo… Izakhiwo ezihleliyo ngoku aziyi kubakho emi. Ixhasa ezi Apho abantu bam ngoku abayi kubakho. Ndifuna nilungiselele, bantu bam, nazi mna kuphela, ninamathele kum kwaye nibe nam ngendlela enzulu kunangaphambili. Ndiza kukusa entlango… mna Ndiza kukuhluba Yonke into oxhomekeke kuyo ngoku, ke uxhomekeke kum. Ixesha le ubumnyama buyeza ehlabathini, kodwa ixesha lozuko liza kwiCawa yam, a ixesha lozuko liza kubantu bam. Ndiya kuthulula phezu kwakho zonke izipho zoMoya wam. Ndizokulungiselela umlo wasemoyeni; Ndizokulungiselela ixesha lokushumayela elingazange labonwa lihlabathi…. Kwaye xa ungenanto ngaphandle kwam, uya kuba nayo yonke into: umhlaba, amasimi, amakhaya, abantakwenu kunye noodade nothando kunye uvuyo noxolo kunanini na ngaphambili. Hlalani nilungile, bantu bam, ndifuna ukunilungiselela… -Ralph Martin, ngoMeyi, 1975, eSt.Peter's Square, kwisiXeko saseVatican

Ukuthululwa kukaMoya, ngelixa kunikelwe iBandla kunye nehlabathi liphela, kwamkelwa kuphela yintsalela ngaphakathi kuMzimba kaKristu.

Kwaye kukho abalusi kuloo mmandla, behlala ezindle, belinda ebusuku imihlambi yabo. Ingelosi yeNkosi yabonakala kubo kwaye ubuqaqawuli beNkosi bakhanya babangqongile, kwaye babethwa luloyiko olukhulu. Isithunywa eso sathi kubo, Musani ukoyika; kuba, yabonani, ndinishumayeza iindaba ezilungileyo zovuyo olukhulu, oluya kuba kubo bonke bantu. (ULuka 2: 8-10)

Ngokunjalo, “ubuqaqawuli beNkosi” obuthululelwe phezu kweCawa bufikile umlindo wobusuku, njengokuba ingena kumlindo weMini yeNkosi esiphelweni seli xesha. ^[4]cf. Iintsuku ezimbini ezingakumbi Ubumnyama bobo bomoya, ilizwe elisongelwe kubusuku bowexuko.

UThixo uyanyamalala kubude boluntu, kwaye, ngokufiphala kokukhanya okuvela kuThixo, uluntu luyaphulukana nokuthwala, kunye neziphumo ezibonakala zonakalisayo. -Incwadi Yobungcwele Bakhe uPapa uBenedict XVI oya kubo bonke oBhishophu beHlabathi, NgoMatshi 10, 2009; AmaKatolika kwi-Intanethi

Kufike ngexesha apho uThixo wanika umtshakazi wakhe uPapa owakhala esithi, "Musa ukoyika!" ^[5]—UJOHN PAUL II, waseHomily, eSt.Peter's Square, nge-22 kaOkthobha 1978, uNombolo 5 Kuba, njengoMariya, iBandla liyazi ukuba ukubhukuqwa kwabanamandla kuya kuza ngobulumko namandla oMnqamlezo-ekugqibeleni ngePhupha.

Inkohliso enkulu

NjengoHerode, owaluka iwebhu yamanga ukuze abambe umzimba kaYesu, ngokunjalo noSathana ebeluka, ukusukela kwixesha lokuKhanyiselwa kwiinkulungwane ezine ezidlulileyo, iwebhu yenkohliso yokubambisa uMzimba kaKristu ngokusebenzisa ubuchwephesha. ^[6]cf. Ubulumko kunye nokuhlangana kwesiphithiphithi UYesu uthe ngale ngelosi iwileyo:

Wayesisibulala-mntu kwasekuqalekeni… ulixoki noyise wabo ubuxoki. (Yohane 8:44)

Umtyholi uxoka ukuze ekugqibeleni abulale umphefumlo kwanomzimba (okt. UbuKomanisi, ubuNazi, ukukhupha isisu, njl. Ndibhalile okuninzi ngeli dabi lembali phakathi koMfazi kunye nenamba, ^[7]cf. Umfazi kunye neNamba indlela uSathana athe wahlwayela ubuxoki bentanda-bulumko ukuze ahambise iingqondo zabantu kude nentando kaThixo, ukuze bakhawule kwaye kwamkela "inkcubeko yokufa." Ewe, musa ukulibala malunga naloo nto-imfazwe phakathi kukaMariya (inzala yeCawa) kunye noSathana, eyaprofetwa kwasekuqaleni kwiGenesis 3:15.

Ukhanyiso

The Isikhanyiso seSazela Kudala ndibhala malunga nalo lubabalo lokurhoxisa amadoda kubukhosi bukaSathana ngokubatyhilela inceba nothando lweNtliziyo eNgcwele. Abangcwele kunye neentsomi basichaza esi siganeko njengento engaphakathi kwaye ihamba kunye uphawu lwangaphandle esibhakabhakeni. Ngaba oku akunakuthelekiswa nokukhanya kweNkwenkwezi yaseBhetelehem ekhokelela amadoda kuKumkani wookumkani?

… Yabona, inkwenkwezi leyo zayibonayo ekuphumeni kwayo izandulela, ide iye kuma phezu kwendawo abekuyo umntwana lowo. Bavuya kakhulu bakubona inkwenkwezi… (Mat 2: 9-10)

Kodwa ayinguye wonke umntu owayevuya kukubona inkwenkwezi, nangona kwakubhengeza ukuza koMsindisi. Ukukhanya kwenkwenkwezi iqaqadekile Intliziyo kaHerode… kunye nemikhosi eyazifezekisayo izicwangciso zakhe zokubulala.

Uncedo lukaThixo

Kweso siprofeto eRoma, uThixo uthetha ngokuhlutha iBandla laKhe, ngokumkhokelela entlango de angabinanto ngaphandle kwaKhe. Njengokuba iintlungu zokubeleka zaye zanda kuMariya kwade kwaba kukuzala kwakhe, ngokunjalo kwabakho ukubonelelwa kukaThixo ngelo xesha. Ukubonelelwa kwesitali, izipho zaMadoda aZilumko, amaphupha angaqondakaliyo akhokele kwaye akhokele uMariya noJoseph kwiindawo zabo zokubalekela… Kuya kuba njalo naseCaweni xa ezala “inani elipheleleyo leentlanga”: ^[8]cf. Roma 11:25; cf. Esi sizukulwana? UThixo uya kuyinika indawo yokubalekela kunye nenkuselo kwinamba:

… Umfazi wanikwa amaphiko amabini okhozi olukhulu, ukuze abhabhe aye kwindawo yakhe entlango, apho, kude nenyoka, wanyanyekelwa khona unyaka, iminyaka emibini, nesiqingatha sonyaka. (ISityhi. 12:14)

Ukunyuka kwerhamncwa

Siyayibona namhlanje imiqondiso “yentsha” ekhoyo eCaweni. Imiyalelo emitsha ivela apha naphaya nabantu abatsha umlilo kaThixo; amalinge enkalipho ebomini akhokelwa ngabantu abancinci; abafana abathembekileyo nabaqhelekileyo abangena kwizikolo zokufundisa; kunye namanyathelo amaninzi asisiseko avelisa iziqhamo zoMoya oyiNgcwele. USathana akanako ukuloyisa iBandla likaKrestu ngokwakhe wathembisa ukuba amasango esihogo awasokuze oyise. ^[9]cf. Mat 16:18

Inyoka, nangona kunjalo, ikhuphe umlambo wamanzi emlonyeni wayo emva kokuba umfazi eyitshayele ngomsinga wamanzi. Umhlaba wamnceda umfazi, wawuvula umlomo wawo, wawuginya umkhukula, owawuhluza inamba ngomlomo wawo. Yaza ke inamba yamqumbela umfazi, yaya kulwa nayo yonke imbewu yakhe, abo bagcina imithetho kaThixo benikela ubungqina ngoYesu. (ISityhi. 12: 15-16)

Xa uHerode waqondayo ukuba ukhohlisiwe ziingqondi, waba nomsindo. Wathi makubulawe abantu abaninzi (Mat 2:16)

[Irhamncwa okanye umchasi-Kristu] wayevunyelwe ukuba alwe nabangcwele kwaye aboyise. (ISityhi. 13: 7)

USathana uthatha isikhundla sakhe sokugqibela "sokulwa" nxamnye nenzala yomfazi. 

Sijongene nengxabano yokugqibela phakathi kweCawa kunye ne-anti-Church, yeVangeli ngokuchasene neVangeli. Olu ngquzulwano luphakathi kwezicwangciso zobonelelo lukaThixo; luvavanyo apho iBandla liphela… -Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), kwi-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA; Nge-13 ka-Agasti ka-1976

Abo bathe balwala ubabalo loKhanyiso, ukukhanya “kwenkwenkwezi” obekuya kubakhokelela kuMsindisi, ngokuqinisekileyo baya kuba yinxalenye yamalungu “aphikisana neCawa,” umkhosi werhamncwa. Baya kuthi, besazi okanye bangazi, bancede ekuphumezeni iziphumo zokugqibela zoluntu olwamkele "inkcubeko yokufa." Baya kutshutshisa iBandla, njengoko uKristu waprofetayo, baphalaza igazi labafeli-nkolo abatsha ngenxa yokholo.

Baya kunigxotha esikhungwini; ewe, liyeza ilixa laxa wonk 'ubani onibulalayo eya kucinga ukuba unqula uThixo. Bayinqula inamba eyalinika igunya irhamncwa. Balinqula nerhamncwa elo^* Sathi, Ngubani na onokuthelekisa irhamncwa? Ngubani na onokulwa nalo? (Yohane 16: 2; ISityhi 13: 4)

Isahluko soxolo

Emva kokufa kukaHerode, sifunda oku:

Vuka, umthabathe umntwana nonina, uye ezweni lakwaSirayeli; kuba bafile abo babezonda ubomi bomntwana. Wavuka ke, wamthabatha umntwana nonina, weza ezweni lakwaSirayeli. Kodwa akuva ukuba uArkelawo ungukumkani kwelakwaYuda esikhundleni sikayise uHerode, woyika ukubuyela khona. Wathi ke, ehlatyelwe nguThixo ephupheni, wemka waya kummandla welaseGalili. (Mat 2: 20-22)

Ngokunjalo, emva kokufa kuka-Antichrist, uSt. John ubhala ukuba ayisosiphelo sehlabathi, kodwa sisiqalo sexesha lokugqibela xa Icawe iya kulawula noKristu kude kuse eziphelweni zomhlaba. Kodwa kanye njengokuba uJoseph noMariya bengazange babuyele “kwilizwe lakwaSirayeli” njengoko babethembe, ngokunjalo, ulawulo lwethutyana lobukumkani bukaThixo emhlabeni asikokufika kwaseZulwini kokugqibela, kodwa yingcamango yolo xolo lwanaphakade. novuyo. Iya kuba lithuba apho iNtando kaThixo eNgcwele iya kulawula emhlabeni "njengaseZulwini" iminyaka eliwaka; ixesha apho iCawa iya kukhula ngokucacileyo ebungcweleni ukuze imlungiselele ukwamkela uYesu “engenabala okanye nasiphako” ^[10]cf. Efe 5:27 xa abuya kwakhona esebuqaqawulini.

Irhamncwa labanjwa, kunye nalo kwabanjwa umprofeti obuxoki, lowo wayenzayo imiqondiso leyo wayilahlekisa ngayo abo balwamkelayo uphawu lwerhamncwa, nabo baqubuda kuwo umfanekiselo walo; Bobabini baphoswa bephila echibini lomlilo elivuthayo nesalfure. Ndabona iitrone. abo babehleli phezu kwabo babephathiswa izigwebo. Ndabona nemiphefumlo yabo babenqunyulwe iintloko ngenxa yobungqina babo kuYesu nangenxa yelizwi likaThixo, nababengalinqulanga irhamncwa nomfanekiso walo, abangalwamkelanga uphawu lwalo ebunzini nasesandleni. Babuyela ebomini baza balawula kunye noKristu iminyaka eliwaka. (ISityhi 19: 20; 4: XNUMX)

Mna kunye nawo onke amanye amaKhristu esiqhelo siziva siqinisekile ukuba luyakuba khona uvuko lwenyama olulandelwa yiminyaka eliwaka, yakwakhiwa, yaxhonywa, yandiswa isixeko saseYerusalem, njengoko kwabhengezwa nguMprofeti uHezekile, u-Iaya nabanye… Indoda phakathi kwethu ogama linguYohane, omnye wabaPostile bakaKristu, wafumana kwaye waxela kwangaphambili ukuba abalandeli bakaKristu baya kuhlala eYerusalem iminyaka eliwaka, nokokuba emva koko indalo iphela kwaye, ngokufutshane, uvuko lwanaphakade kunye nomgwebo ziyakwenzeka. —St. UJustin Martyr, Ingxoxo kunye noTrypho, uCh. 81, Ootata beCawe, Ilifa lamaKristu

 

LIVULE ITHEMBA LAKHO!

Vumela ibali leKrisimesi-ukukhawula, ukuzalwa, kunye neentsuku zokuqala zosapho lwaseNazarete- kube yintuthuzelo enkulu emphefumlweni wakho. UThixo uyakubagcina bekhuselekile kula maxesha abo bahlala bethembekile kuye. ^[11]cf. ISityhi 3:10 Ngokukhuselekileyo, ndithetha okona kubaluleke kakhulu kubo bonke: ukukhuselwa komphefumlo. UYesu akasithembisi ngebhedi yeeroses. Ngapha koko, uthembisa uMnqamlezo. Kodwa uMnqamlezo ngumyezo omkhulu apho luvela khona uvuko emva kokuba "ukhozo lwengqolowa luwele emhlabeni lwaza lwafa." ^[12]cf. Yohane 12:24

Silingwa ukuba sibuze imibuzo,

“Ngaba“ uHerode ”(Umchasi-Kristu) usaphila namhlanje?”

“Sisondele kangakanani kwezinye zezi ziganeko?”

“Ngaba ndiza kuphila ndibone iXesha loXolo?”

Kodwa owona mbuzo ubaluleke kunayo yonke kukuba ingaba mna, njengabalusi okanye iZilumko, ndikulandele ukukhanya kobabalo kobabalo ukunqula uYesu, apha ngoku, ndikhona entliziyweni yam, ndikho kwi-Eucharist eNgcwele? Kuba ubukumkani bamazulu abukude, kwenye indawo kude kude. Ikufuphi, watsho njalo uYesu. ^[13]cf. UMarko 1:14 Okanye ngaba inkohliso kaHerode indibambe kwiwebhu yayo, indenza ingqondo kunye nentliziyo yam ilale, ndindisholo kwinkcubeko yokufa kunye nokuthanda izinto eziphathekayo okutyhafisa umphefumlo wehlabathi? Nokuba impendulo iyintoni na, nokuba injani na imeko yomphefumlo wam-nokuba ilungiselelwe ngakumbi na, njengaZilumko, ukuthobeka okuninzi njengabelusi, okanye ukungakulungeli, njengomgcini wehostele — masikhawulezise ngokukhawuleza ukuze sifumaneke ezinyaweni Lowo uluthando kunye nenceba uqobo.
