Benedict, kunye nesiphelo seLizwe-eli ngoku liLizwi

Ngu-Meyi 21, 2011, kwaye amajelo osasazo esiqhelo, njengesiqhelo, angaphezulu kokulungele ukuthobela ingqalelo kwabo babiza igama "lobuKrestu," kodwa bexhasa ubuqhetseba, ukuba ayizizo izimvo eziphambeneyo (jonga amanqaku Apha kwaye Apha. Ndicela uxolo kwaba bafundi baseYurophu abathe umhlaba waphela ngabo kwiiyure ezisibhozo ezidlulileyo. Bekufanele ukuba ndiyithumele kwangoko).

Ngaba umhlaba uyaphela namhlanje, okanye ngo-2012? Olu camngco lwapapashwa okokuqala nge-18 kaDisemba ngo-2008…

KUNYE okwesihlandlo sesibini njengopopu, uPopu Benedict XVI wenze inqaku lokuba ukuza kukaKristu njengoMgwebi kunye nokuphela kwehlabathi "akusondelanga" njengoko abanye besitsho; Iziganeko ezithile kufuneka zize kuqala ngaphambi kokuba abuyele kuMgwebo wokuGqibela.

UPaul ngokwakhe, kwileta yakhe eya kwabaseTesalonika, usixelela ukuba akukho mntu unokulazi ixesha lokuza kweNkosi kwaye usilumkisa ngalo naliphi na ixhala lokuba ukubuya kukaKrestu kusondele. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, nge-14 kaDisemba, ngo-2008, kwisiXeko saseVatican

Kulapho ndizakuqala khona…

AMAXESHA OKUPHELA, HAYI ISIPHELO SEHLABATHI

Ukusukela ekunyukeni, ukuza kukaKrestu eluzukweni bekusondele, nokuba “ayikokwenu ukwazi amaxesha okanye amaxesha uBawo awamise ngegunya lakhe.” Ukuza kweschatological kunokufezekiswa nangawuphi na umzuzu, nokuba zombini kunye netyala lokugqibela eliza kwandulela oko "zilibazisekile". - Ikatekizim yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-673

Kubaphulaphuli Jikelele nge-12 kaNovemba ka-2008, uBawo oyiNgcwele ucacisa ukuba yintoni kanye le "ilibazisa" oku kuza:

… Phambi kokufika kweNkosi kuya kubakho uwexuko, kwaye umntu ochazwe kakuhle njengendoda “yomthetho”, “unyana wentshabalalo” kufuneka atyhileke, isiko lesiko elizakubiza uMchasi-Kristu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eSt. Peter Square; Amagqabantshintshi akhe abuyela kwisilumkiso sika-St Paul ku-2 Tesalonika 2 ekubuyeni kukaKristu.

Abaseki beCawa yasekuqaleni-amazwi awanceda ukutyhila nokudlulisa iSiko labapostile, ngokufuthi ngemfundiso eyayivela ngqo kubaPostile okanye abo balandela ngqo-basinika ukukhanya okungaphaya ngokulandelelana kweziganeko ngaphambi kokubuya kokugqibela kukaKristu. Ngokufanelekileyo, inje:

Eli xesha liphela liphela ngexesha lokuchasana nomthetho kunye nokuwexuka, okuphelela kulowo ungenamthetho-Umchasi-Kristu (2 Tes. 2: 1-4).
Uyatshatyalaliswa ngumbonakaliso kaKristu (2 Tes. 2: 8) Kunye nabo bamkele uphawu lwerhamncwa (umgwebo Philayo; Rev 19: 20-21); Emva koko uSathana ubotshelelwe “iminyaka eliwaka” (ISityhi. 20: 2) njengokuba uThixo emisela ubukumkani boxolo (Isaya 24: 21-23) iziphumlisi ngovuko lwabafeli-nkolo (ISityhi. 20: 4).
Ekupheleni kweli xesha loxolo, uSathana ukhululwa enzonzobileni ixesha elifutshane, ukukhululwa kokugqibela ngokuchasene noMtshakazi kaKristu “ngoGogi noMagogi,” izizwe uSathana azikhohlisayo kwimvukelo yokugqibela (ISityhi. 20: 7-10).
Kwehla umlilo ezulwini, wabadla (ISityhi. 20: 9); umtyholi uphoswa edikeni lomlilo apho umchasi-Kristu-irhamncwa-wayesele ephoswe (ISityhi. 20: 10) ukungenisa uKokugqibela kuZuko lukaYesu, uvuko lwabafileyo, kunye noMgwebo wokuGqibela (ISityhi. 20: 11-15), kunye nokugqitywa kwezinto (1 Pet 3: 10), esenza “amazulu amatsha nomhlaba omtsha” (ISityhi. 21: 1-4).

Olu luhlu lweziganeko phambi Ukubuya kukaKristu njengoMgwebi kufumaneka kwimibhalo yeeNtloko zeCawa zokuqala kunye nababhali becawa:

… Xa uNyana wakhe eya kuza atshabalalise ixesha labangenamthetho kwaye agwebe abangahloneli Thixo, atshintshe ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi — Uya kuthi ke aphumle ngolwesixhenxe… emva kokuba ephumle kuzo zonke izinto, ukuqala kosuku lwesibhozo, oko kukuqala kwelinye ilizwe. -Ileta kaBharnabhas (Ngo-70-79 AD), ebhalwe ngu-Apostolic Tata wenkulungwane yesibini

Ke ngoko, uNyana kaThixo Osenyangweni kunye namandla… uya kuyitshabalalisa intswela-bulungisa, enze umgwebo wakhe omkhulu, kwaye uya kukhumbula ebomini amalungisa, athi… azimanye nendoda iminyaka eliwaka, abalawule ngokona kulungileyo myalelo… Inkosana yeedemon, engumqhubi wabo bonke ububi, iya kukhonkxwa ngemixokelelwane, kwaye iya kuvalelwa ngexesha leminyaka eliwaka lolawulo lwasezulwini… Phambi kokuphela kweminyaka eliwaka uMtyholi uya kukhululwa ngokutsha Hlanganisela zonke izizwe zobuhedeni ukuba zenze umlo nxamnye nomzi ongcwele… “Wofika ke umsindo wokugqibela kaThixo kwiintlanga, uzitshabalalise” ihlabathi liza kuhla ngomlilo omkhulu. - umbhali wenkulungwane ye-4 weecawa, uLactantius, “Amaziko KaThixo ”, I-ante-Nicene Fathers, Iphepha 7, iphe. 211

INgcwele uAugustine inikezele ngeenkcazo ezine zexesha “leminyaka eliwaka”. Esona sicatshulwa ngoku namhlanje kukuba sibhekisa kwixesha elisusela ekuvukeni kukaKristu kude kube ngoku. Nangona kunjalo, yayiyindlela enye yokutolika, enokuba yenziwa yaduma ekulweni i uqhekeko lwe Millenarianism ngelo xesha. Ngenxa yoko kuye kwathethwa ngaBaseki beCawa abaliqela, enye yeenguqulelo zika-Augustine mhlawumbi ifaneleke ngakumbi:

Abo bathe, ngamandla ale ndawo [yesiTyhilelo 20: 1-6], bakrokrela ukuba uvuko lokuqala lungekamva kwaye ngumzimba, bashukunyisiwe, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ngakumbi ngenani leminyaka eliwaka, ngokungathi Yayiyinto efanelekileyo ukuba abangcwele ke ngoko bonwabele uhlobo lokuphumla ngeSabatha ngeloxesha, ulonwabo olungcwele emva kokusebenza kweminyaka engamawaka amathandathu okoko umntu wadalwa… (kwaye) kufanele kulandelwe ukugqitywa kweminyaka engamawaka amathandathu, njengoko yeentsuku ezintandathu, uhlobo lweSabatha yomhla wesixhenxe kwiminyaka eliwaka elandelayo; Kwaye kungenxa yesi sizathu abangcwele bephakama, oko kukuthi; ukubhiyozela iSabatha. Olu luvo alunakuphikiswa, ukuba bekukholelwa ukuba uvuyo lwabangcwele ngale Sabatha luyakuba njalo ngokomoya, kunye neziphumo kubukho bukaThixo… -De Civitate Dei [IsiXeko sikaThixo], IYunivesithi yamaKatolika yaseMelika Press, iBk XX, Ch. 7

Isithethe sabapostile sikhanyiselwa ngakumbi kukutyhilwa kwabucala okuvunyiweyo. "Umhla wesixhenxe", "iwaka leminyaka lolawulo lwasezulwini" kwakuprofetwe ngayo yiNtombi Enyulu eFatima xa yayithembisa ukuba Intliziyo Yayo Engagungqiyo yayiza kuphumelela kwaye ilizwe liyakunikwa "ixesha loxolo". Yiyo loo nto uYesu eyalela uSt Faustina ukuba umhlaba ngoku uphila ngexesha lobabalo:

Bonke abantu mabayiqonde inceba yam engenakulinganiswa. Ngumqondiso wexesha lokuphela; emva kwayo iya kufika imini yomgwebo. —Idayari yaseSt. Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wam, n. I-848

Omnye wemifudlana ephambili yokucinga kule webhusayithi kukufundisa ukuba uMzimba-yiCawe-uya kulandela u-Kristu iNtloko yawo ngePhupha lakhe. Kule meko, ndibhale uthotho lweembonakalo ezibiziweyo Ityala leminyaka esixhenxe ebandakanya oku kulandelayo kuchazwa ngabaFata beCawa kunye neCatechism, iNcwadi yeSityhilelo, ukuvuma ukutyhilwa kwangasese, kunye nokukhuthazwa okuze kum ngomthandazo, kukudibanisa konke ngokokuthanda kweNkosi yethu.

NGUBANI IXESHA?

Siphi ke esi sizukulwana kulandelelwano lweziganeko zecosmic? U-Yesu usiyalele ukuba sijonge imiqondiso yamaxesha ukuze sikulungele ngakumbi ukuza kwakhe. Kodwa hayi ukuza kwakhe nje: ukulungiselela nokulungiselela ukufika kwabaprofeti bobuxoki, intshutshiso, umchasi-Kristu, kunye nezinye iimbandezelo. Ewe, uYesu wasiyalela ukuba sijonge kwaye sithandaze ukuze sikwazi ukuhlala sithembekile "kwityala lokugqibela" eliza kubakho.

Ngokusekwe koku bendikukhankanyile ngasentla, kodwa ngakumbi ngamazwi kaPopu John Paul II, Paul VI, Leo XIII, Pius X kunye nabanye oopopu abathi bonke babhekise kumaxesha ethu Ulwimi lwe-apocalypticIsizukulwana sethu ngokuqinisekileyo singumgqatswa wokufika “komchasi-mthetho.” Esi sigqibo ndiye ndacacisa, kunjalo, kwimibhalo eliqela kule ndawo.

Yintoni umsebenzi wam? Ngokuyinxalenye, kukulungiselela ngakumbi kwezi zilingo. Nangona kunjalo, eyona njongo yam kukukulungiselela, hayi uMchasi-Kristu, kodwa uYesu Krestu! Ngokuba iNkosi ikufuphi, inqwenela ukungena entliziyweni yakho Ngoku. Ukuba uyivula ibanzi intliziyo yakho kuYesu, sele uqalile ukuhlala ebukumkanini bukaThixo, kwaye iintlungu zeli xesha langoku ziya kubonakala zingenanto xa zithelekiswa nozuko oza kulungcamla ngoku, nolulindele ngonaphakade.

Kukho izinto ezoyikisayo ezibhalwe kwezi “blog”. Kwaye ukuba banokukuvusa kwaye bakuqhubele ezinyaweni zikaKristu, yinto entle leyo. Ndingakhawuleza ndikubone ezulwini unamadolo angcangcazelayo kunokuba ndazi ukuba ungene kwilangatye elingunaphakade kuba ulele esonweni. Kodwa kungcono ukuba uza eNkosini ngentembelo kunye nethemba, uqaphela uthando kunye nemfesane yakhe engapheliyo kuwe. UYesu ayinguye "umntu ophuma phaya", umgwebi okhohlakeleyo okhawulezayo ukukugweba, kodwa ukufuphi… uMzalwana noMhlobo, emi ngokungathi kukumnyango wentliziyo yakho. Ukuba uyayivula, uya kuqala ukuhleba iimfihlelo zakhe zobuthixo kuwe, ebeka eli hlabathi kunye nayo yonke imigibe yalo kwimeko efanelekileyo, kwaye akunike ilizwe elizayo, kobu bomi, nakwelizayo.

Ingxoxo nganye yamaKrestu ngezinto zokugqibela, ezibizwa ngokuba yi-eschatology, ihlala iqala ngesiganeko soVuko; kwesi siganeko izinto zokugqibela sele ziqalisile kwaye, ngandlela ithile, sele zikhona. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, kubaphulaphuli Jikelele, nge-12 kaNovemba ka-2008, kwisiXeko saseVatican

Liya kudlula izulu nehlabathi; ke wona amazwi am akasayi kudlula. Kodwa ngalo mhla nelo lixa, akukho namnye owaziyo, kwanezingelosi ezulwini, kunye noNyana, kodwa nguBawo kuphela. Bukela! Lumka! Awazi ukuba ixesha liya kufika nini. (UMarko 13: 31-33)

INkosi isondele. Esi sizathu sokuvuya kwethu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, nge-14 kaDisemba, ngo-2008, kwisiXeko saseVatican
