Ikhephu eCairo?

Ikhephu lokuqala eCairo, Egypt kwiminyaka eli-100, Imifanekiso ye-AFP-Getty

Snow eCairo? Umkhenkce kwaSirayeli? Sleet eSyria?

Kwiminyaka eliqela ngoku, umhlaba ubukele njengoko iziganeko zomhlaba zendalo zonakalisa imimandla eyahlukeneyo ukusuka kwindawo ukuya kwenye. Kodwa ngaba kukho ikhonkco kwinto eyenzekayo eluntwini ngobukhulu: ukonakaliswa komthetho wendalo kunye nokuziphatha?

Ubani kufuneka alumke, ewe, angathabathi isiganeko esinye ngokungathandabuzekiyo njengohlobo oluthile lwesazisi. Imozulu enzima ihlala ihamba nomntu ukususela ekuwa kuka-Adam. Kodwa ngoku siphila kwelona xesha lingaqhelekanga. Njengoko ndibhalile ngaphakathi incwadi yam kwaye kwabelwana ngayo apha, kungekuphela nje imbonakalo yeNkosikazi Yethu, kodwa oopopu ngokwabo besilumkisa ukuba siphila kwelo xesha elaziwa ngokuba “ngamaxesha okuphela” (bona Kutheni le nto ooPopu bengekhwaza?).

Ngaphambi kokuba ndiphendule umbuzo wonxibelelwano phakathi kwendalo noluntu, ziziphi izinto esifana ngazo ngoku?

I. IiPali eziShifting

indalo: Umhlaba ngoku ukwinkqubo yokutshintshwa kweepali; ijometri emantla iba ngasezantsi, emazantsi iba emantla.

Uluntu: NgeMvukelo yaseFransi, xa “umgaqo-siseko wamalungelo abantu” waba sisiseko sokuziphatha kuRhulumente, kwaqalisa ixesha elitsha lonxulumano phakathi kweCawa noRhulumente. Ngoku sibona uRhulumente engasasekeki amalungelo oluntu kwisidima sendalo somntu kunye nomthetho ongaguqukiyo wendalo nokuziphatha, kodwa kwiimfuno zamagama amancinane, abagwebi kunye nabezopolitiko abanee-ajenda, kunye neminqweno kunye neemo zengqondo ezixhaphakileyo kwinkcubeko. Ikhampasi yokuziphatha iguqulelwa ngokoqobo entloko njengoko okulungileyo kusiba kokubi, nokubi kusiba kokulungileyo.

Lo mzabalazo uhambelana nokulwa kwe-apocalyptic kuchazwe ku [ISityhi 11:19–12:1-6, 10] kwidabi phakathi” komfazi oyambethe ilanga” ‘nenamba’]. 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.  -UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Cherry Creek State Park Homily, eDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993

Kule nkalo, ungcikivo loMprofeti luchane kakhulu: “Yeha ke abo bathi okubi kukulunga nokulungileyo kubi, abamisa ubumnyama endaweni yokukhanya nokukhanya endaweni yobumnyama” (Ngaba 5:20). —UPOPU JOHN PAUL II, Evangelium Vitae, "IVangeli yoBomi", n. 58

II. Iilwandle ezifayo kunye nezilwanyana, iintaka kunye neenyosi

indalo: Iindaba bezigcwele ngamabali obunzima bokufa kwayo yonke into ukusuka kwiintlanzi ukuya kwiintaka, amahlengesi ukuya kwixhama. Nangona kusoloko kukho oonobangela bendalo, ngamanye amaxesha akukho zingcaciso zanelisayo. Phakathi kweentlobo, ngokukodwa kukufa kweekholoni ezinkulu zeenyosi ^[1]cf. “Ubunzima benyosi yobusi budala ixhala lokufumaneka kokutya”; cbsnews.com indima yayo ingundoqo kuvuvuzelo lwe izityalo nemithi yeziqhamo. Njengoko ilizwi lihamba, akukho zinyosi, akukho kutya.

Uluntu: Kwangaxeshanye, sibona ukufa kwabantu abaninzi, kodwa uninzi lwalo aluthinteleki kuphela, kodwa ngenjongo. Abantu abamalunga ne-15-18 bafa mzuzu ngamnye ngenxa yokungondleki—oko kukuthi abantu abangama-25,000 suku ngalunye. ^[2]Ingxelo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo ngo-2007; www.factcheckinginjusticefacts.wordpress.com Kuyathintelwa kuba, ngelixa amazwe azizityebi angathandabuzi ukungenelela kwizizwe apho Ugcino lweoyile zisemngciphekweni, kuncinci kakhulu okanye akwanelanga ukuthintela indlala. Ukuqhomfa, uqingqo-nzala, iinkqubo zokugonywa, nezinye iityhefu, enoba kusemoyeni, emanzini, kuthungelwano lokutya, okanye “kwiziyobisi” ezixutywe ngamayeza nazo ziye “zabanciphisa abantu” njengokuba abaninzi ngoku bengaphantsi kumanqanaba okuzalwa. Kulo Lwesihlanu kuphela, kuye kwaqhomfa ngaphezulu kwe-125,000, ngokutsho koMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi. Yaye elo nani alithethi nto ngokuqhomfa ngemichiza ngendlela yokuthintela ukuzala okanye “ngemorning after pill.”

UFaro wakudala, ethanda ubukho nokwanda kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wabangenisa kulo lonke uhlobo lwengcinezelo kwaye wayalela ukuba kubulawe wonke umntwana oyinkwenkwe oyindoda ozelwe ngabafazi bamaHebhere (cf. Ex. 1: 7-22). Namhlanje baninzi abanamandla emhlabeni abenza ngendlela efanayo. Nabo bakhathazwa kukwanda kwamanani abemi abakhoyo… Ngenxa yoko, endaweni yokuba banqwenele ukujongana nokusombulula ezi ngxaki zinzima ngokuhlonipha isidima sabantu kunye neentsapho kunye nelungelo lomntu ngamnye elingenakuphikiswa, bakhetha ukukhuthaza nokunyanzelisa nangayiphi na indlela Inkqubo enkulu yolawulo lokuzalwa. —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, IVangelium Vitae, "IVangeli yoBomi", n. I-16

Ukuwohloka kwenkqubo yendalo, edla ngokuba ngunobangela wokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi kweentlanzi, izilwanyana nezinambuzane, ngokufanayo kufana nokuwohloka okuqhubekayo koqoqosho lwehlabathi ngenxa yemigaqo-mali enyolukileyo nenkqubo yezemali egxile kwingeniso egqubayo ngoku. ^[3]cf. theeconomiccollapseblog.com

III. Izandyondyo zemvula zityhutyha iizaqhwithi kunye neetsunami

indalo: Izikhukula ezinkulu zirekhodwe kwihlabathi lonke kunye "nezaqhwithi zale nkulungwane," nokuba ziinkanyamba, izaqhwithi, okanye iitsunami eziveliswa ziinyikima.

Uluntu: Kuye kwakho into endiyibiza ngokuba yi-a Itsunami yokuziphatha kwaye Unogumbe wabaprofeti bobuxoki kumaxesha ethu anamandla okuchasa ubomi, ukuchasa umtshato, ukuchasa-ii-ajenda zenkululeko egameni “lokunyamezelana”. ^[4]cf. Unogumbe wabaprofeti bobuxoki Icandelo I kwaye Icandelo II Oku kugqabhuka kwepropaganda, ethi ngokukhawuleza itshintshe imeko-quo kwinkqubo "yobuntu obungenabuntu," ^[5]uBenedict XVI, ICaritas eVeritate, n. I-78 ubukhulu becala kubangelwe ngokuyinxenye kumkhukula we "anti-gospel" nge-intanethi, imidiya yoluntu, imidiya yoluntu, kunye nefuthe leHollywood.

Lo mlo sizifumana kuwo… [ngokuchasene] namagunya atshabalalisa umhlaba, kuthethwa ngawo kwisahluko se-12 seSityhilelo… Kuthiwa inamba ikhokelela kumjelo omkhulu wamanzi ngokuchasene nomfazi obalekayo, ukumtshayela… ndicinga ukuba Kulula ukutolika ukuba lo mlambo umeleni: yile misinga ilawula wonke umntu, kwaye ifuna ukuphelisa ukholo lweCawa, olubonakala ngathi alunandawo yokuma phambi kwamandla alomsinga azinyanzelisa njengeyona ndlela yokucinga, ekuphela kwendlela yobomi. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iseshoni yokuqala yesinodi ekhethekileyo kuMbindi Mpuma, nge-10 ka-Okthobha ka-2010

IV. Iinkwenkwezi eziwileyo

indalo: “Iinkwenkwezi ezidubulayo” bezintyumpantyumpeka esibhakabhakeni ukususela ekudalweni kwendalo. Kodwa kulo nyaka uphelileyo okanye emibini, kubonakala kukho ulwando oluphawulekayo ekubonweni kweebhola ezinkulu ezikhanyisa esibhakabhakeni—ubuncinane, lowo uqhushumbayo. phezu kweRashiya kulo nyaka uphelileyo zonakalisa izakhiwo kwaye zonakalisa amakhulu.

Uluntu: Incwadi yeSityhilelo ibhekisela kwiinkokeli zamabandla asixhenxe ngokufuziselayo njengezithunywa zezulu okanye “iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe.” ^[6]Rev 1: 20 Ngokunjalo, inamba yeSahluko 12 itshayela “isinye kwisithathu seenkwenkwezi” esibhakabhakeni ngomsila wayo. Oku kuqondwa njengomfuziselo wesinye kwisithathu seBandla elatshayelwa luwexuko. Namhlanje, sinjalo ukubona ukuwa “kweenkwenkwezi” ezininzi, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kweBandla namhlanje. ^[7]cf. Xa Imisedare Iwa Amadoda nabafazi abakrelekrele abanezipho ezikhulu kunye nabanokubanakho baye bawa phantsi amanyathelo esihendo, ukusuka kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya kunye namaqhawe omculo ukuya koobhishophu.

Okubangela umdla kukuba, idabi elikwiSahluko se-12 sesiTyhilelo likwaphakathi kweNenekazi Lethu, “Inkwenkwezi yoBuvangeli oButsha” kunye nenamba, uLusifa, laa nkwenkwezi iwileyo kwincwadi kaIsaya:

Uwe njani ezulwini, khwezi lokusa, nyana wesifingo! Unqunyulwe njani emhlabeni, wena uchebe natioNn! (U-Isaya 14: 11-12)

V. Sinkholes

indalo: Kudala ndilandela imingxunya ebonakala kwihlabathi lonke. Ezinye zazo ziyacaciswa, njengokugqabhuka kombhobho wamanzi okhukulisa indledlana esecaleni kwayo. Ezinye zibangelwa bubuchule bokwemba imigodi nobokugrumba, njengokuthi “fracking.” Kwaye ezinye, ezinye zazo ezinkulu, ziyimfihlakalo. Noko ke, okuqinisekileyo kukuba, ziqalisa ukubonakala ehlabathini lonke ngesantya esothusayo. ^[8]cf. Iphupha laseMelika

Uluntu: Kwizizwe ngezizwe, kukho oko uBenedict XVI abhekisele kuko njengokuwohloka “kwimvisiswano yokuziphatha.” Ngokomzekelo, sibona iintlanga ngezizwe ngoku zinikezela kwiimfuno “zokuzala amalungelo”: ukuqhomfa ngokwesidingo nolawulo-nzala. Sikwabona, njengetsheyina lenyikima, ukuwohloka komthetho wokuziphatha nowendalo omi kangangamawaka eminyaka xa kuthethwa ngomtshato nokukhuselwa kwesidima sobomi bomntu.

Ukuba iziseko zitshatyalalisiwe, unokwenza ntoni lowo ulilungisa? (Nd 11: 3)

UBawo Oyingcwele wathelekisa oku kuwa nokuwa koBukhosi baseRoma esithi ngoko, njengangoku, kwakukhatshwa iimpawu kwindalo:

Ukwahlulwa kwemithetho-siseko ephambili yezomthetho kunye nemo yokuziphatha esisiseko esiyixhasayo yawavula amadama kude kube lelo xesha ayekhusela ukuhlalisana ngoxolo phakathi kwabantu. Ilanga lalitshona kwihlabathi liphela. Rhoqo iintlekele zendalo ziyonyusa ngakumbi le meko yokungazithembi. Kwakungekho gunya libonakalayo elinokuphelisa oku kwehla. Eyona nto yayinyanzeliswa, yayikukucela amandla kaThixo: isicelo sokuba aze kukhusela abantu bakhe kuzo zonke ezi zisongelo.. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Idilesi kwiRomania yaseRoma, nge-20 kaDisemba ka-2010

VI. IXesha Elitsha Lomkhenkce

indalo: Kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, ndafunda ingxelo yesazinzulu esathi, ngokungafaniyo neentshatsheli zento ebizwa ngokuba “yiglobal warming”, sasilumkisa ngelithi ihlabathi, enyanisweni, lingena “kwixesha elitsha lomkhenkce” elitsha. Ingcamango yakhe wayisekela ekuhlolisiseni amaxesha omkhenkce adluleyo, ummandla welanga nomjikelo wendalo womhlaba. Ukusukela ngoko, udityaniswe sisazinzulu emva kokuba isazinzulu esathi, sivavanya umsebenzi ongaqhelekanga wokuzola welanga (xa bekufanele ukuba ligqabhuke ngumsebenzi welanga kunye nomlilo) waqikelela ukuba, ukusukela kulo nyaka ukuya ku-2014, “Ixesha Elincinane Lomkhenkce” iqalile. Imiphumo yoku isenokuba yintlekele ekhokelela ekungaphumeleli kwezityalo, indlala, kwaneemfazwe njengoko kusiliwa amadabi obutyebi. Nazi izihloko ezimbalwa ezithe zavela:

• Izazinzulu ngemozulu ziyasokola ukuchaza ukuhla kobushushu
• I-Academy yaseRashiya yeNzululwazi Lumkisa ngeXesha elibandayo elikufuphi
• Ingcaphephe yeMozulu ilumkisa ngengxaki yokuphola yehlabathi ezayo
• Ubungqina bokufudumala kwehlabathi buba ngumphunga
• Ingxelo: Izazinzulu ziqikelela inkulungwane yokuphola kwehlabathi
• Amabala elanga kunye neGlobal Cooling
• Ukupholisa kweHlabathi kulapha “kumashumi amathathu eminyaka azayo”
• Umjikelo weLanga waNgoku weLanga ubuthathaka kakhulu kwiNkulungwane

Uluntu: Omnye weyona miqondiso ibalulekileyo “yemiqondiso yamaxesha” awathi uYesu masiyilumkele, ndiyacinga, yenye yezona zinto zixhaphakileyo:

… Ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabaninzi luya kuphola. (Mat. 24:12)

Ngaba ukhe wema ukufunda izimvo kuYouTube okanye kwiforum yoluntu? Ngaba umamele indlela unomathotholo nomabonwakude abahlalutyi kunye neendwendwe zabo baphathana kunye nabachasi babo bezopolitiko? Ngaba uye waphawula ukwanda “komsindo wendlela”, ukungabi namonde, ukungabi nambeko, nokubanda okuthe kwathomalalisa izitalato zethu?

“Uthando olugqibeleleyo luluphosela phandle lonke uloyiko,” wabhala iSt. Omnye usenokuthi, “Uloyiko olugqibeleleyo lukhupha lonke uthando.” Siphila kwixesha apho abantu boyika ukuhamba bodwa ebusuku, apho sitshixa iingcango zethu, sitshixe iifestile, sifakele izixhobo zokhuseleko, sifakele izixhobo zokuhlola intsimbi ezikolweni zethu, sihlole ii-imeyile neefowuni zabantu, silinde okulandelayo. "ikhowudi" evela kurhulumente wobumbano malunga nosoyikiso lwangoku lobunqolobi. Abantu baseMelika bathenga imipu kunye neembumbulu ngoku ngamanani arekhodiweyo ^[9]cf. theguardian.com. Ulwaphulo-mthetho olunogonyamelo luye lwanda nge-15% eUnited States yaye ulwaphulo-mthetho lwempahla nge-12%, kunyaka ophelileyo. ^[10]cf. iindaba.com Abantu baya kukhwela ngaphaya baze babethane ngenqindi e-Walmart nge-gadget ye-$ 20 kwinto engumzekeliso wento uPope Francis abiza ngayo "ukuthengwa okungalawulwayo"; ^[11]U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-60 IWall Street iyaqhubeka nokungabahoyi abantu abahluphekayo ngento ayibiza ngokuba “kukuzimela ngokupheleleyo kweemarike kunye nokucingelwa kwemali”; ^[12]U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-202 kwaye ngoku kukho umdlalo omtsha we "Knockout" ukusasazeka ukusuka kwisixeko ukuya kwisixeko, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku nje e-US, apho uzama ukunkqonkqoza umntu ongamaziyo ngenqindi enye. Ngaba uPawulos oNgcwele akazange athi lo mdlalo wawuza kudlalwa “ngemihla yokugqibela”?

yazi oku: Kuya kubakho amaxesha okoyikekayo, ngemihla yokugqibela. abantu baya kuba ngabazingcayo nabathandi bemali, abanekratshi, abanekratshi, abatshabhisi, abangathobeli bazali, abangenambulelo, abangahloneli Thixo, abangenabubele, abangenatarhu, abahlebi, abarheletyi; behlukunyezwa, abathiya okulungileyo, abancethezi, abasileyo, abathiwe lwale likratshi, abathandi beziyolo kunokuba bathande uThixo. ( 2 Tim 3:1-4 )

…ukungabikho kwentlonipho kwabanye kunye nobundlobongela buyanda, kwaye ukungalingani kuya kucaca ngakumbi. -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-52

Njengenqaku elisecaleni, kukwakho umzekelo kwiNcwadi yeSityhilelo yolunye uhlobo “lwexesha lomkhenkce” oluyinxalenye yezohlwayo zaloo mihla:

Kwehla isichotho esikhulu ezulwini, njengamatye amakhulu, esihla phezu kwabantu; bamnyelisa uThixo ngesibetho sesichotho, kuba sinzima kunene. (ISityhi. 16:21)

Yiyo ke loo nto, nangokungahambisani nentando yethu, ingcinga ivuka engqondweni yokuba ngoku ezo ntsuku zisondele apho iNkosi yethu yaprofeta yathi: “Kwaye ngenxa yobuninzi bobugwenxa, luya kuphola uthando lwabaninzi” (Mat. 24:12). —I-POPE PIUS XI, I-Miserentissimus Redemptor, Encyclical on Revenue to the Sacred Heart, n. 17

PHA luthelekiso olunamandla phakathi koko kwenzekayo kwindalo noko kwenzekayo ngokuziphatha kweli hlabathi siphila kulo. Kwaye ikhonkco phakathi kwezi zibini alithandabuzeki:

Kuba ukulinda ngolangazelelo ukutyhileka kwabantwana bakaThixo. kuba indalo yathotyelwa kokuphuthileyo, kungengakuthanda kwayo, kodwa ngenxa yalowo wayithobelayo, ngethemba lokuba indalo ngokwayo iya kukhululwa ebukhobokeni bokonakala, ibe nenxaxheba enkululekweni yozuko lwabantwana bakaThixo. Siyazi ukuba yonke indalo iyancwina inenimba kwada kwaba ngoku… (Rom 8: 19-22)

Kwaye uYesu wayecacile malunga nokuba kuya kuba yintoni iintlungu zokubeleka:

Uhlanga luya kuvukelana nohlanga, nobukumkani buvukelane nobukumkani; kuya kubakho iindlala, nezinyikimo zomhlaba kwiindawo ngeendawo. Zonke ke ezo zinto zikukuqaleka kwenimba. ( Mateyu 24:7-8 )

ONgcwele uPawulos wabhala ukuba kuKristu, “zonke izinto zibambene." ^[13]Col 1: 7 Ke, xa sisusa uKristu kwiintsapho zethu, imithetho, kunye nezizwe, zonke izinto ziqala ukwahlukana. Akusekho i-absolute esikhokelwa ngayo, kwaye ke, indalo kunye nomntu ngokwakhe "unokulahlwa" ukuze kuzuze abambalwa. Indalo isabela kwisono soluntu ekubeni indalo ngokwayo ibotshelelwe “kuwo onke amacebo kaThixo okusindisa.” Umhlaba awuyondawo nje yokupaka Isabelo sabantu, kodwa ngokusisiseko sinxibelelene nokusindiswa koluntu nasekwenzeni ‘indalo entsha kuKristu. ^[14]cf. Katekisiki yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. I-280

Ebantwini uThixo ude abanike amandla okwabelana ngesisa ekuboneleleni kwakhe ngokubanika uxanduva "lokoyisa" umhlaba nokuba negunya kuwo. Yiyo loo nto uThixo esenza ukuba abantu babe nezizathu ezikrelekrele nezikhululekileyo ukuze bagqibezele umsebenzi wokudala, ukuze bagqibelele ukuvumelana kwawo ukuze kulungelwe bona kunye nabamelwane babo. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 307

Kuxhomekeke kwinguquko yomntu:

Intobeko kaThixo izulu. Kwaye ukuba sisondela kule ntobeko, siyakuchukumisa izulu. Umhlaba nawo wenziwa mtsha.. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Umyalezo weKrisimesiNge-26 kaDisemba ngo-2007

Kude kube ngoko, umntu kufuneka adlule kobu busika bokuhlanjululwa.

Ikhephu elingakumbi eCairo.

KUFUNDWA NGOKUBA:

• Ukuze uqonde isizathu sokuba ububi bubonakala busanda, funda “ilizwi” lesiprofeto awathi ubhishophu waseKhanada wandicela ukuba sabelane nalo: Ukususa isithintelo

• Ayiyiyo iCawe kuphela, kodwa indalo ngokwayo iya kufumana ukuhlaziywa ngexesha elizayo "indlebe yoxolo": Ukudalwa ngokutsha

• Izigwebo zokugqibela
