Okungakumbi kwiZilingo kunye noKoyisa kwethu

“Ukufa Kubini”NguMichael D. O'Brien

 

IN impendulo kwinqaku lam Uloyiko, Umlilo, “Nentlangulo”?, Wabhala uCharlie Johnston Elwandle ngombono wakhe ngeziganeko ezizayo, ngokwabelana nabafundi ngeengxoxo zabucala ebesinazo ngaphambili. Oku kubonelela, ndiyacinga, lithuba elibalulekileyo lokugxininisa ezinye zezona zinto zibaluleke kakhulu kwinjongo yam kunye nokubiza abafundi abatsha ukuba bangazi.

Andizange ndivuke ngenye intsasa ndathi, “Ewe, olu ibiya kuba lusuku oluhle lokungcolisa igama lam lomculo.” Kuba phakathi kwezihloko endiye ndanyanzeleka ukuba ndibhekise kuzo, oko kukuthi, "imiqondiso yamaxesha" kumxholo "wamaxesha okugqibela", abaphumeleli ukhuphiswano olunye lokuthandwa. Enyanisweni, bandizisele iintshaba ezininzi. Kwaye ukunyaniseka, le ngxabano ibisoloko indixaka ukususela kwi-eschatology (ukufunda "izinto zokugqibela") ngumba ongundoqo weSiko eliNgcwele. Kutheni siyiphephe njengekholoni eneqhenqa sisihloko esinomdla ngokwaso. Kuba imibhalo yeTestamente eNtsha yeCawa yokuqala yayidla ngokubekwa kwimeko yokubuya kukaYesu okulindelekileyo kunye nemiqondiso eyayiza kwandulela; yiyo i, baphila benolindelo oluqhubekayo lokubuya kukaKristu. Kutheni, ke, "singalali kwaye sithandaze" njengoko benzayo kwaye njengoko iNkosi yayalelayo? ngakumbi xa le miqondiso ivela macala onke ngaphandle kokuqala? Ndiyakrokrela ukuba kungenxa yokuba, njengoko uPope Benedict esitsho…

... ukozela kwabafundi akuyongxaki yaloo mzuzu mnye, endaweni yayo yonke imbali, 'ubuthongo' yeyethu, kwabo bangafuniyo ukubona amandla agcweleyo obubi kwaye bangafuni ukungena. Umdla wakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, kwisiXeko saseVatican, ngoAprili 20, 2011, Abaphulaphuli Jikelele, I-Catholic News Agency

Ngamanye amaxesha abantu basebenzisa isizathu sokuba sibizelwe ukuba siphile “kumzuzu wangoku”, ukuze baphephe “ukukhangela phezulu” kwaye bajongane nomsinga wobubi ogqugqisayo emhlabeni. Ngokuchasene noko, abanye bavumela imiqondiso yamaxesha ukuba ibaqhubele kude nomsebenzi welo xesha kunye nokulahlwa kuThixo. Kukho umgangatho ophakathi; kuba lowo uyityeshelayo inkohlakalo uya kuthi ngequbuliso afikelwe lixesha lokungabi nankululeko; yaye lowo wenza ngoloyiko uya kwandisa uloyiko kuphela, endaweni yokuba abe lukhanyiso ebumnyameni. Umhlobo wam othandekayo kunye nomcebisi, uMichael D. O'Brien, ubeke ngolu hlobo:

Ukuthingaza okuxhaphakileyo kweengcinga zamaKatolika ekuhloleni nzulu izinto ezibonisa ukuba ubomi banamhlanje, ndiyakholelwa, yinxalenye yengxaki abafuna ukuyiphepha. Ukuba ukucinga kwe-apocalyptic kushiywe ikakhulu kwabo babekwe phantsi okanye abaye bawela kwi-vertigo yoloyiko lwe-cosmic, ke uluntu lwamaKristu, ngokwenene lonke uluntu, luhlwempuzekile kakhulu. Kwaye oko kunokulinganiswa ngokwemiqathango ye imiphefumlo yabantu abalahlekileyo. -Author, Michael D. O'Brien, Ngaba siphila kumaxesha eApocalyptic?

Ewe, yiyo yonke le nto isipostile: ukusindisa imiphefumlo yabantu. Ke ngoko, iNkosi “yawuphazamisa” umsebenzi wam kamabonakude nomculo ukuze inditsalele kobu bupostile bokubhala ukuze ndilungiselele abafundi “uMvuzo weBandla.” Eli lungiselelo lelinye nje igalelo kwiskimu esikhulu. Ndithetha nje, ndithetha neqhezu labantu abathetha isiNgesi, abaliqhezu kumawaka asixhenxe abemi bomhlaba. Ndingumncedi omnye omncinci phakathi kwabaninzi abancedisa iNkosi yethu kunye neNenekazi lethu. Ngaphezu koko, iNkosi yandilumkisa kwasekuqaleni ukuba abaninzi abasayi kusamkela isigidimi. Ngoko ke ndithetha kumasalela okwenyaniso.

Sekunjalo, ndifuna ukuthembeka kangangoko ndinako kwisimemo seNkosi, esaqala ngowama-2002 xa uPopu John Paul II wasibiza ngokuba lulutsha ukuba sibe “ngabalinganiswa bamaxesha amatsha” ^[1]UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, uMthendeleko woKwamkeleka, kwiSikhululo seenqwelomoya samazwe ngamazwe saseMadrid-Baraja, ngoMeyi 3, 2003; www.fjp2.com kwaye…

…abalindi bentsasa abavakalisa ukuza kwelanga elinguKrestu oVukileyo! -I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo kaBawo Oyingcwele kuLutsha lweHlabathi, XVII uSuku lweHlabathi loluTsha, n. 3; (cf. ngaba 21: 11-12)

Oku kufuna "ukhetho olukhulu lokholo nobomi" kulo "msebenzi unzima", ^[2]UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, UNovo Millenio Inuente, n. 9 njengoko wayibizayo. Kuba uSt John Paul II wayecela ukuba silungiselele iBandla ngokubuya kukaYesu, oluluthotho lweziganeko ezikhokelela ekubonakaleni Kwakhe enyameni ekupheleni kanye kwexesha. Haleluya! (ukubona Bawo Oyingcwele Othandekayo… Uyeza!). Yayilubizo lokuba “ngabahlalutyi” kunye nabalindi ngoku, hayi kumashumi eminyaka ukususela ngoku (njengoko uCharlie wayeqikelela). Ibe oko kungenxa yokuba iziganeko zokugqibela ezaxelwa kwangaphambili eZibhalweni ziyaqhubeka yaye sele ziza kutyhileka ekuhambeni kweminyaka namashumi eminyaka ezayo. Njengoko uYesu watshoyo kwiSt. Faustina,

Uya kulungisa umhlaba ngokuza kwam kokugqibela. -UYesu waya eSt. Faustina, Inceba kaThixo emphefumlweni wam, kwidayari, n. 429

Kodwa uPope Benedict wenza ingongoma ebalulekileyo:

Ukuba umntu uthathe eli lizwi ngendlela yokulandelelana, njengomyalelo wokulungela, njengokuba kunjalo, kwangoko ukuBuya kwesiBini, iya kuba bubuxoki. -Ukukhanya kweLizwe, Incoko kunye noPeter Seewald, iphe. 180-181

“Ilizwi” elinye elafika entliziyweni yam ekuqaleni yayikukuba iNkosi “yayityhila” imo “yamaxesha okuphela.” Kuba njengoko Waxelela umprofeti uDaniyeli, ezi zinto zaziyakubakho "igcinwe iyimfihlo kwaye itywinwe kude kube lixesha lesiphelo." ^[3]Dan 12:9 Ziyatyhilwa, njengoko iimbonakalo zeNenekazi Lethu kunye nezityhilelo ezingaqondakaliyo ezifana noVenerable Conchita, iSt. Faustina, kunye nabakhonzi bakaThixo uLuisa Piccarreta kunye noMarta Robin kunye nabanye. Abongezeleli nto intsha kwiSityhilelo sikaWonke-wonke seCawa, kodwa kunoko, bayasinceda ukuba siphile ngoku ngokuzele ngakumbi ngaso.

Ke ngoko, injongo yam ngeli xesha ayingombandela wokufunda imiqondiso yamaxesha kwaye ngokuzimeleyo esebenzisa iZibhalo. Kunoko, iye yabandakanya amawaka eeyure zokunikel’ ingqalelo ngenkuthalo kwiSityhilelo sikaWonke-wonke seCawa, ekukhuleni kwayo kubaSeki beCawa, nasekuhluzweni kwezakwalizwi ezilungileyo kokubi kula maxesha ethu adidekileyo, avumelanayo, nanamhlanje. Kwakhona kuye kwabandakanya ingqalelo koopopu benkulungwane edluleyo abaye babonisa ngolwimi olucacileyo nolubangel’ umdla esibonakala singabo, okanye are ukungena “kumaxesha okuphela” (bona Kutheni le nto ooPopu bengekhwaza?).

UCharlie ukhankanye isiTyhilelo 12 nendlela avakalelwa ngayo ukuba umsebenzi wakhe unxulumene naso. Ndiyavuya ukuba wayiphakamisa loo nto, kuba isiTyhilelo 12 sisembindini wobupostile ngokunjalo nakumbindi wencwadi yam, Imbonakalo yokuGqibela, eyi-synthesi
s yemibhalo yam apha.

Kukho isilingo sokujonga “amaxesha okuphela” ngokupheleleyo njengesiganeko esizayo. Kodwa xa sibuyela umva, sinokubona, njengoko iCatechism ifundisa, ukuba “bangeniswa kuKuvela koNyana okukhululayo.” ^[4]cf. I-CCC, n. I-686 Ndithetha ukuthi, asifikanga ngobusuku kwinkcubeko ewuchaze ngokutsha umtshato, iwuqhawule ikamva lawo, ikhusela abantu bayo abasesichengeni, iziyobisi kulutsha bayo, ibachasa abafazi bayo, itshintsha isini sayo… kwaye isoyikisa ngokutshutshiswa nabani na ochasa ezi zinto. Kwincwadi yam, ndichaza ngokweenkcukacha oko uJohn Paul II akubiza ngokuba "yeyona mbambano inkulu yembali" adlule kuyo umntu. Emva kokuba iiyantlukwano ezibini zilima umhlaba ngenxa yokunganeliseki, ixesha lokuKhanya laveliswa “nguyise wobuxoki,” nto leyo eye yakhokelela ekwahlukaneni ngokuthe ngcembe kweCawa noRhulumente ukusa kwinqanaba lokuba uRhulumente ngokwakhe abe lunqulo olutsha. UJohn Paul II wanxulumanisa le nkqubela ngqo ukuya kwiSityhilelo 12:

Lo mzabalazo ungqamana nomlo we-apocalyptic ochazwe kwi (ISityhi 11: 19 - 12: 1-6). Amadabi okufa ngokuchasene noBomi: “inkcubeko yokufa” ifuna ukuzinyanzelela kumnqweno wethu wokuphila, nokuphila ngokupheleleyo… Amacandelo amaninzi oluntu abhidekile malunga nokulungileyo nokubi, kwaye afumana inceba yabo amandla "okudala" uluvo kwaye alunyanzelise kwabanye ... "inamba" (ISityhi 12: 3), "umlawuli weli hlabathi" (Yoh 12: 31) kunye "noyise wabo ubuxoki" (Yoh 8:44) , izama ngokungayekiyo ukususa ezintliziyweni zabantu imvakalelo yombulelo nentlonelo ngesipho santlandlolo esingaqhelekanga nesisisiseko sikaThixo: ubomi bomntu ngokwabo. Namhlanje loo mzabalazo uye waba ngokuthe ngqo. -UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Cherry Creek State Park Homily, eDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993

Kwaye ngoko, wathi, sifike ngexesha eliqinisekileyo:

Ngoku simi phambi kolona dabaniso lukhulu lwembali olwakha lwafunyanwa luluntu. Ngoku sijongene nongquzulwano lokugqibela phakathi kweBandla kunye nabachasi bebandla, phakathi kweVangeli nechasa-igospile, phakathi kukaKristu nomchasi-Kristu. Olu ngquzulwano luphakathi kwezicwangciso zoBonelelo oluNgcwele. Ngoko ke, ikwiCebo likaThixo, kwaye kufuneka ibe sisilingo ekufuneka iBandla lisithabathile, kwaye sijongane nalo ngenkalipho… -Nkongolo yoMthendeleko, yokubhiyozela iminyaka emibini yokutyikitywa kweSibhengezo seNkululeko, ePhiladelphia, PA, 1976; Ezinye izicatshulwa zesi sicatshulwa ziquka amagama athi “uKristu nomchasi-Kristu”. Umdikoni uKeith Fournier, ozimasayo, uyayichaza le nto ingentla; cf. Katolika kwi-Intanethi

IsiTyhilelo 12 sithetha ngokungenelela “komfazi ombethe ilanga” esilwa nenamba (ibhinqa elingumfuziselo kaMariya kunye nabantu bakaThixo). Ithetha ngokuqhawuka kwamandla kaSathana, kodwa hayi ityathanga (eliza kamva; bona isahluko sama-20). Sandula ke esi sahluko siqukunjelwe xa uSathana elungele ukuhlanganisa amandla akhe aseleyo ‘njengerhamncwa. Oko kuthetha ukuba iSahluko seShumi elineSibini seSityhilelo sine yonke into ukwenza oko kwathethwa nguJohn Paul II: itshayelelo ethe ngqo yokungquzulana nomchasi-Kristu. Ibe njengoko kumele kuphindwa kwakhona, kukoyiswa “kwerhamncwa nomprofeti wobuxoki” abathi abaSeki BeCawa, abefundisi bezakwalizwi abaliqela beli xesha, “nemvumelwano yesiprofeto” yeentsonkotha zala maxesha, ikhokelela “kwixesha loxolo.” Eshwankathela abaSeki beCawa nentlaninge yezityhilelo eziyimfihlelo, umfundisi wezakwalizwi uMfundisi uJoseph Iannuzzi wathi:

Kule mbono, ukubonakala komchasi-Kristu phambi kokuba iXesha loXolo liba ngumcimbi weSiko. -Umchasi-Kristu kunye namaxesha okugqibela, n. I-26

Ukwabonisa, njengoko ndiyenzile, ukuba emva kwi-Era, kukho uhlaselo lokugqibela lukaSathana njengoko uSathana ekhonkxiwe enzonzobileni aze ahlanganisele iintlanga zobuhedeni nxamnye “nenkampu yabangcwele” ngaphambi kokubuya kukaYesu esebuqaqawulini. Lo Mchasi-Kristu wokugqibela, uGogi noMagogi, ukwavumelana nemfundiso yeSt.  ^[5]cf. Eyoku-1 kaYohane 2:18 Kwakhona, olu balo-maxesha lucacileyo, olungadityaniswanga lomchasi-Kristu ngaphambili kwaye emva kweXesha loXolo lidityaniswe ngabahlalutyi abaninzi beli xesha laba sisiganeko esinye, esihlala sisekwe ekuqondeni okulambathayo kunye nokuxhathisa kuqhekeko lwemillenarianism (bona Millenarianism -Yintoni kwaye ayikho kwaye Ilahlekile i-Era). Bakholelwa kwelokuba sijamelene “nembandezelo encinane” elandelwa kukupheliswa koxolo okuzisa ihlabathi “kwimbandezelo enkulu” xa uMchasi-Kristu ebonakala ngaphambi nje kokuphela kwazo zonke izinto.

Ngoku, ndiyathemba ukuba abafundi bam baya kuqonda ngeli xesha ukuba kutheni ndiza kuzikhathaza ngokubonisa ukubaluleka kwalo mahluko. Ukuba amaKristu axelelwa ukuba uMchasi-Kristu kusenokwenzeka ukuba usele kudlule iinkulungwane, ngaba imiphefumlo ayinakubhaqwa, “njengesela ebusuku”? Ukuba uYesu wayethe “nabanyuliweyo” banokuphambuka, ngoko kuya kubonakala kum ukuba sifanele siyilumkele imiqondiso yamaxesha, ngakumbi xa la maxesha angoku okuchas’ umthetho ekhomba ngokothusayo ekufikeni “komchasi-mthetho”. Ngokwenene, uPopu Paul VI wathi “Uwexuko, ukuphelelwa lukholo, kusasazeka ehlabathini lonke.” ^[6]Intetho kwisikhumbuzo seMinyaka engamaShumi amathandathu yeFatima Apparitions, nge-13 kaOkthobha, 1977. Kwaye ngaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka eyadlulayo, iSt. Pius X yacinga...

… Kusenokubakho emhlabeni "uNyana wentshabalalo" athetha ngaye uMpostile. —IIPOPE ST. IPIUS X, E Supremi, I-Encycology on the Return of zonke Izinto kuKristu, n. 3, 5; Ngomhla we-4 ku-Okthobha 1903

Aba balindi babehleli kungqameko oluphakamileyo kunam—kwaye abazange bathandabuze ukulumkisa abathembekileyo.

Ingongoma yam apha asikokuba sixambulisana. Endaweni yoko, kukuthembeka kumsebenzi wam, endiwunikezela ekucaluleni kweBandla. Kwaye inxalenye yaloo mishini kukuba Vuka kwaye lumkisa ukuba “imiqondiso yamaxesha”, ukutyhilwa Uhlaziyo lwehlabathi, uwexuko olukhulu nokuchas’ umthetho okusasazeka kuyo yonke indawo, nembonakalo engazange ibonwe ngaphambili ‘yomfazi owambethe ilanga’ ziziimpawu ezinamandla zokubonakala kobungendawo. kwenzeka ukuba umchasi-Kristu, oza ngaphambi kweXesha loXolo, inokuvela ngaphakathi yethu amaxesha (bona Umchasi-Kristu kwiXesha lethu). Yaye, xa ndikhangela emva ngoku, ndibona izilumkiso endiye ndaziva ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndinikele ngazo kulo mbandela bezikwizigaba ezihlanu—zinamakhulu aliqela emibhalo phakathi kokomeleza, ukukhuthaza, nokwakha ukholo lwenu. Ukuba ucofa izihloko, unokufunda iinkcukacha:

I. Iphupha lalowo ungenamthetho (iphupha elivakala ngoku kuphela)

II. Ukuphakanyiswa koMthinteli (“ilizwi” endalifumanayo ngokuphathelele “umchasi-mthetho” nangala maxesha)

III. Ubuxoki obuzayo (Iqhinga likaSathana lokuchasa inceba kaThixo)

IV. ITsunami Yokomoya (amaza enkohliso yokomoya asasazeka kulo lonke ihlabathi)

V. Inqanawa emnyama iyahamba (kuvuka ibandla lobuxoki)

Ngokuphathelele ixesha, andizukuqikelela. Ingongoma ephambili yile: sibizwe nguYesu ukuba “silinde sithandaze”. Njengomlindi, ndixele nje into endiyibonayo kwisithuba sam ngelensi yeSiko eliNgcwele kunye neMagisterium-hayi, ndinayo. wakhwaza, kunoko, ngenxa yembopheleleko yokuziphatha. Kungcono ndibe wrongo kunokuba ndithule. Nokuba kukho ungenelelo lwezulu phakathi kwangoku kunye nokubonakala komchasi-Kristu ngaphambi kweXesha, ke, lishishini leZulu. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyakholelwa ukuba siya kubona izinto ezimangalisayo kweli “xesha lenceba” ngaphambi “kwexesha lobulungisa”. Kodwa indima yam, ngokuyinxenye, kukwenza kwaziwe ubalo-maxesha lwala maxesha, “umfanekiso omkhulu” ngokweSiko osilungiselelayo ukuza koBukumkani.

Bayatshabalala abantu bam kukuswela ukwazi. ( Hoseya 4:6 )

Kwaye ndiyacinga ukuba kubalulekile, kungenjalo iNkosi yethu ngekhe ithethe ngezi zinto kwasekuqaleni, kakhulu kunikwe iSt Paul kunye neSt. Into endicinga ukuba yinkcitho yexesha kukubala amaxesha.

Asikokwenu ukwazi amaxesha nokuba ngamathuba, awamise ngelakhe igunya uBawo. ( IZenzo 1:6-7 )

Kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo xa ndandithandaza phambi koMthendeleko oSikelelweyo kwindlu yam yomlawuli wokomoya, ndayibona iNkosi ithetha ngokucacileyo entliziyweni yam, Ndininika ulungiselelo lukaYohane umbhaptizi. Ubulungiseleli bukaYohane babukukubhengeza ukuza ‘kweMvana kaThixo.

Kanjalo, Yiza Nkosi Yesu! Maranatha! Mabufike ubukumkani bakho!
