NOT kudala sitshatile, umfazi wam watyala igadi yethu yokuqala. Undithathele ukhenketho ndalatha iitapile, iimbotyi, iikhukhamba, iletisi, umbona, njl. Emva kokuba egqibile ukundibonisa loo miqolo, ndiye ndaguqukela kuye ndathi, "Kodwa ziphi zona izicumba?" Wajonga kum, wakhomba kumqolo wathi, “Iikhukhamba zikhona.”
“Ndiyazi,” ndatsho. "Kodwa ziphi iipikili?" Umfazi wam uye wandijonga nje, waphakamisa umnwe wakhe kancinci wathi, “Ii cucumbers Pha. "
Ndiye ndamjonga ngathi uyaphambana. Ndaphinda ndajonga phantsi kumqolo awayendikhomba kuwo… kwaye ngequbuliso, kwathi qatha kum. IiPickles-zii-cucumber-ezi-pickled. Ubomi bam bonke, uBaba wam wayehlala ebhekisela kwiikomkomere njenge "pickle patch" (kwaye, oy yoy yoy, ezo zipikili zazilungile!).
Ngamanye amaxesha, kukho iinyaniso eziphambi kweempumlo zethu, kwaye nangona kunjalo, asiziboni ngenxa yemeko yangaphambili okanye ukunqongophala kolwazi. Okanye ngenxa yokuba asikho ufuna ukubona inyaniso.
Njengenenekazi elikwiminyaka yakhe yamashumi amabini elindibhalele izolo. Unina wayedla ngokuthetha ngemibhalo apha, kodwa le ntombazana yayingafuni kwanto yakwenza nabo. Enyanisweni, bamcaphukise. Wayengumntu owalushiya ukholo lwakhe, ephila ubomi obuchasene neVangeli. Kodwa ngenye imini waya nonina kuMthendeleko, yaye ekubuyeni kwakhe, wagqiba kwelokuba afunde ezinye zeemibhalo zam. Ufundele iiyure. Ngoko wabuza uThixo enoba yayikhona na inyaniso kwizinto ezibhalwe apha. Waba namava eNkosi awayenzulu kakhulu, wathi amazwi awanakuwenza ubulungisa. Waqalisa ukuya kwiMisa nokuvuma izono rhoqo yaye ngoku uthandaza yonke imihla. Uthi: “Kunyaka ophelileyo, ndivakalelwa kukuba iNkosi ibindifundisa izinto ezininzi! Ndiziva ndisondelelene naye kunye noMama wethu waseZulwini endingazange ndibenawo.”
Ezinye izinto zifihlakele emehlweni, kwaye kufuna amava, ulwazi olutsha, ubulumko, ukuqonda ngakumbi ukuvuma ukuzibhaqa.
MHLAWUMBI AYIKHO CRYTPIC EMVA KONKE...
Kunjalo ke ngeengxoxo apha kule veki kwiNcwadi yeSityhilelo. Abanye benu banokuzibuza ukuba ngaba ndibonisa inoveli imfundiso malunga nokuza kweNkosi ukuze imisele uLawulo lwaYo lweMithendeleko ukuya eziphelweni zomhlaba. Okanye ukuba oku kunokuba luhlobo oluthile loqhekeko. Inyaniso kukuba le mfundiso isuka kwasekuqaleni, kubapostile ngokwabo. Abaseki beCawa bokuqala—abo bafundi bokuqala beCawa ukucacisa imfundiso yobuPostile—bathabatha iNcwadi yeSityhilelo ngokwexabiso layo. Abazange bangene kuhlobo lwe-gymnastics yengqondo abaninzi abayenzayo namhlanje ukuze bafike kwingcaciso engokomfuziselo eshiya imibuzo emininzi ebuzwayo kunokuba iphendulwe.
Nangona imiba emininzi ye-Apocalypse yaseSt.
1 Iintlanga zaziya kuvukela kuwexuko;
2. Babeza kufumana inkokeli ebafaneleyo: “irhamncwa”, umchasi-Kristu;
3 UKristu wayeza kubuya eze kugweba irhamncwa neentlanga (umgwebo wabaphilayo), emisela ulawulo lwakhe. kwabangcwele bakhe—uloyiso lokwenene lweCawa-ngoxa uSathana wayeya kukhonkxwa okwethutyana kangangexesha elithile (ngokomfuziselo, “iwaka leminyaka”).
4 Emva kweli xesha loxolo, uSathana wayeya kukhululwa kwimvukelo yokugqibela enxamnye nabangcwele, kodwa umlilo wawuza kutshabalalisa iintshaba zikaThixo uze uzise imbali kwisiphelo sayo esichukumisayo ngomgwebo wabafileyo nokuqalisa kweZulu elitsha noMhlaba Omtsha.
Ngoku, abaSeki beCawa bokuqala bafundisa olu balo-maxesha njenge ubupostile Inyaniso, ukuba "amaxesha obukumkani", ixesha elikhethekileyo "lentsikelelo" liyeza.
Ke, intsikelelo eyaxelwa kwangaphambili ngokungathandabuzekiyo ibhekisa kwixesha loBukumkani Bakhe, xa ilungisa liza kulawula ngokuvuka kwabafileyo; xa indalo, izalwa ngokutsha kwaye ikhululwe ebukhobokeni, iya kuvelisa intabalala yokutya kwazo zonke iintlobo kumbethe wezulu nokuchuma komhlaba, njengoko abantu abadala bekhumbula. Abo babone uYohane, umfundi weNkosi, [basixelele] ukuba bayivile indlela iNkosi ebifundisa ngayo, yathetha ngayo ngalo maxesha. —ISt. UIrenaeus waseLyons, uBawo weCawa (140–202 AD); U-Adversus Haereses, u-Irenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4, ooBawo beCawa, i-CIMA Publishing Co.; (ONgcwele uIrenaeus wayengumfundi waseSt. Polycarp, owayesazi waza wafunda kuMpostile uYohane waza kamva wamiselwa njengobhishophu waseSmirna nguYohane.)
Kodwa uninzi lwabaguqukileyo bamaYuda bamandulo babekholelwa ukuba uYesu ngokwakhe wayeza kuza esebuqaqawulini ukuze alawule emhlabeni enyameni ngaphambi kokuphela kwexesha "iwaka leminyaka" lokoqobo (ISityhi 20: 1-6), ukuseka ubukumkani bezopolitiko phakathi kwezidlo kunye nezidlo. Kodwa oku kwagwetywa njengoqhekeko (cf. Millenarianism-Yintoni kwaye ayikho). Kungeso sizathu ke ekwathi kwiinkulungwane kamva, iSt. Augustine phakathi kwabanye, ezama ukuluphepha olu qhekeko, wanika “iwaka leminyaka” intsingiselo yokomfuziselo. Wanika olu luvo:
… Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku njengoko kwenzekayo kum… [iSt. UJohn] wasebenzisa iminyaka eliwaka njengelingana nawo onke amaxesha eli hlabathi, esebenzisa inani lemfezeko ukuphawula ukuzaliseka kwexesha. —St. UAugustine waseHippo (354-430) AD, De Civitate Dei “Isixeko SikaThixo”, Incwadi yama-20, Ch. 7
Ngoko, leyo yimeko abaphengululi beBhayibhile abangamaKatolika abaliqela abaye banayo ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla ngaphandle kokuhlolisisa ngenyameko ngakumbi ulwimi olufuziselayo lwabaseki beCawa neziprofeto zeTestamente Endala ezinxulumene ‘nexesha loxolo’ elizayo. Nangona kunjalo, banokungaqondi ukuba iSt Augustine ngokunjalo wanika ingcaciso yesiTyhilelo 20 eyayingqinelana ne:
—ufundo olucacileyo lobalo-maxesha lweSt.
—ISt. Imfundiso kaPetros yokuba “eNkosini imini enye injengeminyaka eliwaka, neminyaka eliwaka injengemini enye,” ( 2 Petros 3:8 );
—kwakunye noko kwafundiswa ngabaseki beCawa bamandulo, bephawula imbali yoluntu ukusukela ngowama-4000 BC, kwanokuba...
... kufuneka kulandele ukuzaliseka kwamawaka amathandathu eminyaka, njengeentsuku ezintandathu, uhlobo lweSabatha yomhla wesixhenxe kwiminyaka eliwaka elandelayo… yoba yisabatha leyo ngokomoya, kunye neziphumo ze Ubukho bukaThixo... —St. UAugustine waseHippo (354-430 AD),IsiXeko sikaThixo, Bk. I-XX, Ch. 7
Esi yaba sisiphelo kanye seTheological Commission ngowe-1952 eyapapashwayo Iimfundiso zeCawa yamaKatolika, i…
… ithemba kuloyiso olunamandla lukaKristu apha emhlabeni ngaphambi kokuzaliseka kwezinto zonke. Isehlo esinjalo asibekelwa bucala, asinto ingenakwenzeka, ayiqinisekanga kwaphela into yokuba akusayi kubakho xesha lide loloyiso lobuKristu ngaphambi kwesiphelo... ubungcwele, isiphumo esinjalo siya kuziswa kungekhona ngokubonakala komntu kaKristu eBungangamsha kodwa ngokusebenza kwaloo mandla okungcwaliswa asebenzayo ngoku, uMoya oyiNgcwele kunye neeSakramente zeCawa. -Imfundiso yeCawa yamaKatolika: Isishwankathelo semfundiso yamaKatolika, Inkampani yeMacMillan, 1952), iphe. 1140
Andisayi kuhambela phambili kwindlela kwaye kutheni oku kuza kobukumkani bukaKristu “emhlabeni njengokuba kusezulwini” kwafihlwa kwaye kwaqondwa phosakeleyo. Unokufunda malunga naloo nto Ilahlekile i-Era. Kodwa ndiza kuqukumbela ngokubuza umbuzo: ukuba imfundiso ezayo “yexesha loxolo” ngaphambi kokupheliswa kwezinto zonke ibubuvuvu obufundiswa ngabaseki beCawa—imfundiso abathi yavela ngqo kumpostile uYohane—ngoko Yintoni enye Ngaba ngoku sifanele sibuze naloo nto ivela kuYohane? Ngaba Ubukho Bokwenene Bomthendeleko? Ukuzalwa kukaLizwi wenziwa inyama? Ndicinga ukuba uyayifumana ingongoma yam. Isizathu sokuba iCawe yamaKatolika ibe yile nto iyiyo namhlanje kungenxa yokuba bekunjalo uthembekile kuBaseki beCawa bamandulo “nedepositi yokholo.”
… Ukuba kuvela umbuzo omtsha apho kungekho sinqumo sinikiweyo, kufuneka babhenele kwizimvo zooBawo abangcwele, babo ubuncinci, abathi, elowo ngexesha lakhe nasendaweni yakhe, bahlale kubunye bobudlelane ngokholo ke zamkelwa njengeenkosi ezivunyiweyo. Kwaye nantoni na ekunokuthi kufunyaniswe ukuba ibigcinwe, ngamxhelo mnye nangemvumelwano enye, oku kufuneka kuthathwe njengemfundiso eyinyani neyamaKatolika yeCawa, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo. —ISt. UVincent yaseLerins, iCommonitory ye434 AD, "Ngexesha lamandulo kunye nendalo yonke yeNkolo yamaKatolika ngokuchasene neNqaku leNqaku lazo zonke iiNqulo", Ch. 29, n. 77
Mhlawumbi lixesha lokuba siphinde sihlolisise iZibhalo ze-apocalyptic ngokubhekiselele kwinto yokuba iNenekazi lethu lifundisa into esele iphambi kweempumlo zethu.
Ewe ummangaliso wathenjiswa eFatima, owona mmangaliso mkhulu kwimbali yehlabathi, owesibini emva koVuko. Kwaye loo mmangaliso uyakuba lixesha loxolo olungazange lubonelelwe ngenene emhlabeni. — UKhadinali Mario Luigi Ciappi, umfundisi wezakwalizwi ongupopu kaPius XII, uJohn XXIII, uPaul VI, uJohn Paul I, noJohn Paul II; ngo-Oktobha 9, 1994; Ikhatyathi yoSapho; iphe. 35
Eyona nto iphawuleka ngakumbi kwiziprofetho ezibhekiswa 'kumaxesha okugqibela' kubonakala ngathi sinesiphelo esinye, ukubhengeza intlekele enkulu elindele uluntu, uloyiso lweCawe, kunye nokuhlaziywa kwehlabathi. -I-Catholic Encyclopedia, Isiprofeto, www.newadvent.org
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
