Liliphi ixesha?

 

NGOKUTSHA Ukutyhilwa nguYesu kuSt Faustina, sisemgubasini we "mini yobulungisa", iMini yeNkosi, emva kweli "xesha lenceba". Abaseki beCawa bathelekisa uSuku lweNkosi kunye nosuku lwelanga (yabona UFaustina, kunye nomhla weNkosi). Umbuzo ke ngulo, sikufutshane kangakanani ezinzulwini zobusuku, elona xesha limnyama eMini — ukufika kuka-Antichrist? Nangona "umchasi-Kristu" engenakuthintelwa kumntu omnye, ^[1]Ngokokuchasa komchasi-Kristu, siye sabona ukuba kwiTestamente eNtsha uhlala ecinga ngezinto ezenzeka ngelo xesha kwimbali. Akanakuphela kwabanye abantu. Ngokukodwa unxiba iimaski ezininzi kwisizukulwana ngasinye. -Cardinal Ratzinger (POPE BENEDICT XVI), Inkolelo ye-Dogmatic Theology, Eschatology 9, UJohann Auer noJoseph Ratzinger, 1988, iphe. 199-200 njengoko uSanta uYohane wafundisayo, ^[2]cf. Eyoku-1 kaYohane 2:18 Imbali ithi, kuyakufika umlinganiswa omnye, “unyana wentshabalalo,” “kumaxesha okuphela.” ^[3] … Phambi kokufika kweNkosi kuya kubakho uwexuko, kwaye umntu ochazwe kakuhle njengendoda “yomthetho”, “unyana wentshabalalo” kufuneka atyhileke, isiko lesiko elizakubiza uMchasi-Kristu. -POPE BENEDICT XVI, Abaphulaphuli Jikelele, "Nokuba kungokuphela kwexesha okanye ngexesha lokunqongophala koxolo: Yiza Nkosi Yesu!", L'Osservatore RomanoNgomhla we-12 ku-Okthobha ka-2008

Ngokuza kuka-Antichrist, iSibhalo sisixelela ukuba sijonge iimpawu ezintlanu eziphambili:

Ixesha lokuchasana nomthetho okanye uwexuko elukholweni.

II. Ukunyuka kobuzwilakhe jikelele

III. Ukuphunyezwa kwenkqubo yorhwebo yehlabathi

IV. Ukuvela kwabaprofeti bobuxoki

V. Intshutshiso yeBandla jikelele

UYesu wasilumkisa ukuba singalali, sibukele kwaye sithandaze -ngoyiki, kodwa ngaphakathi isibindi esingcwele njengoko sibona imiqondiso "yamaxesha okuphela" ivela. Kuba njengokuba iMini yeNkosi iqhubeka, zininzi izinto eziza kuthi zibothuse abantu — abanye, enyanisweni, baya kube belahlekelwe lithuba lokuba kwinkampu kaThixo ngenxa yokuba bazenze lukhuni iintliziyo zabo, balala.

Kuba nani ngokwenu niyazi ngokucacileyo, ukuba imini yeNkosi, njengesela ebusuku, yenjenjalo ukuza kwayo. Xa abantu besithi, luxolo nonqabiseko, iya kwandula ke intshabalalo ibafikele, njengentlungu ebeleka okhulelweyo, kwaye abayi kusinda. (1 Tes.5: 2-3)

Ke ngoku masijonge ngokufutshane kula manqaku mahlanu, asinika isikhokelo sexesha esiphila kulo…

 

NGUBANI IXESHA?

I. Uwexuko

“Uwexuko” kuthetha ukuwa kakhulu elukholweni. Ngapha koko, uSt. Paul ulumkisa abafundi bakhe ngokuchasene nabo babethetha kwaye bebhala izinto…

… Ukwenza ukuba imini yeNkosi ifikile. Makungabikho namnye unikhohlisayo nangayiphi na indlela; kuba ayiyi kufika loo mini, ingekufika okreqo kuqala, atyhileke umntu wesono, unyana wotshabalalo… (2 Tes. 2: 2-3)

Ngoko ke, Ngubani ixesha?

Ngubani onokusilela ukubona ukuba uluntu ngeli xesha langoku, ngaphezu kwalo naliphi na ixesha elidlulileyo, liphethwe sisifo esoyikekayo nesinzulu ethi yona ikhule yonke imihla, idle kweyona nto ingaphakathi kuyo, iyirhuqele entshabalalweni? Niyayiqonda, Bazalwane abaHloniphekileyo, ukuba yintoni esi sifo — kukuwexuka kuThixo… Xa konke oku kuthathelwa ingqalelo kukho isizathu esihle soloyiko hleze obu bubi bungangqinwa, kwaye mhlawumbi nesiqalo sobubi obugcinelwe imihla yokugqibela; nokuba kungade kubekho umhlaba "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

Uwexuko, ukulahleka kokholo, kuyasasazeka kwihlabathi liphela nakwezona nqanaba ziphezulu ngaphakathi kweCawa. -UPOPU PAUL VI, Idilesi yesikhumbuzo seminyaka engamashumi amathandathu yeFatima Apparitions, ngo-Okthobha 13, 1977

UPius X watsho ngo-1903. Angathini ukuba ebesaphila namhlanje? Mhlawumbi oko kwathethwa nguPius XI:

Kwaye, nangokuchasene nentando yethu, ingcinga ivuka engqondweni yokuba ngoku ezo ntsuku zisondele apho iNkosi yethu yaprofeta yathi: “Kwaye ngenxa yokuba isono sande, uthando lwabaninzi luya kuphola” (Mat. 24:12). —UPOPI PIUS XI, I-Miserentissimus Redemptor, Encyclical on Revenue to the Sacred Heart, n. 17 

II. Ubuzwilakhe behlabathi

Umprofeti uDaniel, uSt. John, kunye naBaseki beCawe yokuqala babemxhelo-mnye ekuvakaliseni ukuba kuza kubakho ulawulo lwehlabathi oluza kunyathela phezu kolawulo nobulungisa namalungelo eentlanga nezizwana ezininzi.

Emva koko, emibonweni yobusuku, ndabona irhamncwa lesine, eloyikekayo, elomeleleyo ngokuncamisileyo. yayinamazinyo amakhulu entsimbi eyayiqwenga nokutyumza, kwaye yayinyathela ngeenyawo okuseleyo. (Daniyeli 7: 7)

Ngoko ke, Ngubani ixesha?

Ngeziphumo ezibi, inkqubo ende yembali ifikelela kutshintsho. Inkqubo ethe yakhokelela ekufumaneni umbono we “Amalungelo oluntu” —amalungelo afunyanwa emntwini wonke naphambi kwawo nawuphi na umthetho-siseko noMthetho kaRhulumente — namhlanje aphawulwe ngokuchasana okumangalisayo… ilungelo lobomi liyaliwa okanye linyathelwe. : "ilungelo" liyayeka ukuba njalo, kuba alisasekelwanga ngokuqinileyo kwisidima somntu, kodwa lenziwa ukuba lihambelane nentando yelungu elinamandla. Ngale ndlela idemokhrasi, iphikisana nemithetho-siseko yayo, ishukuma ngokukuko kwindlela yobuzwilakhe. —UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, IVangelium Vitae, "IVangeli yoBomi", n. I-18, 20

Idabi phakathi kwenkcubeko yobomi kunye nenkcubeko yokufa namhlanje idabi eliphakathi kweVangeli kunye ne-anti-gospile, uMfazi weSityhilelo ngokuchasene nenamba, kwaye ekugqibeleni, uKristu ngokuchasene noMchasi-Kristu ofuna ukumisela inkcubeko yokufa kwihlabathi liphela ^[4]cf. UkuThola okuKhulu  kukungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo kunye nokuthanda izinto zehlabathi.

Lo mzabalazo uhambelana nomlo we-apocalyptic ochazwe kwi [Rev 12]. Ukulwa amadabi okuBulala uBomi: "inkcubeko yokufa" ifuna ukuzinyanzela kumnqweno wethu wokuphila, kwaye siphile ngokugqibeleleyo… Amacandelo amakhulu oluntu axakanisekile malunga nokuba yintoni elungileyo nengalunganga, kwaye bakwinceba yabo igunya "lokwenza" uluvo kunye nokunyanzelisa abanye… “Inamba” (ISityhi. 12: 3), “umlawuli weli hlabathi” ((Yoh. 12:31) kwaye 'nguyise wobuxoki' (Jo 8:44), ngokungapheziyo uzama Ukuphelisa iintliziyo zabantu imvakalelo yombulelo kunye nentlonipho ngesipho sokuqala esingaqhelekanga nesisisiseko sikaThixo: ubomi bomntu uqobo. Namhlanje lo mzabalazo uye wangqala ngokuthe ngqo. -UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Cherry Creek State Park Homily, eDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993

III. Uqoqosho lwehlabathi

Umbono ka-St. John wawucacile ukuba "irhamncwa" lesiTyhilelo liza kufuna ukunyanzela abantu ukuba bathenge baze bathengise ngento ayibiza ngokuba "luphawu lwerhamncwa." ^[5]Rev 13: 16 Ithuba lokuba lonke ihlabathi linokufakwa kwinkqubo yezoqoqosho ibonakale ingenakwenzeka kwisizukulwana esidlulileyo. Kodwa iteknoloji utshintshe konke oko kumashumi nje ambalwa eminyaka.

Ngoko ke, Ngubani ixesha?

I-Apocalypse ithetha ngomchasi kaThixo, irhamncwa. Esi silwanyana asinalo igama, kodwa inombolo. [Ezoyikisayo zeenkampu zoxinaniso], bayaburhoxisa ubuso kunye nembali, beguqula umntu ukuba abe linani, bemnciphisa kwi-cog kumatshini omkhulu. Umntu akakho ngaphezu komsebenzi. Ngemihla yethu, akufuneki silibale ukuba bamisela kwangaphambili ikamva lehlabathi elinomngcipheko wokwamkela ulwakhiwo olufanayo lweenkampu zoxinaniso, ukuba umthetho womatshini wamkelekile. Oomatshini abakhiweyo banyanzelisa umthetho omnye. Ngokwalo mgaqo, umntu kufuneka atolikwe ngu ikhompyutha kwaye oku kunokwenzeka kuphela xa kuguqulelwa kumanani. Irhamncwa linani kwaye iguqula ukuba ngamanani. UThixo, nangona kunjalo, unegama kwaye ubiza ngamagama. Ungumntu kwaye ujonge umntu. -Khadinali Ratzinger, (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI) Palermo, Matshi 15th, 2000 (akekeliswe sithi)

… Ubuzwilakhe be-mamon […] bujikisa uluntu. Alukho ulonwabo olwaneleyo, kwaye ukugqithisa kokukhohlisa ukunxila kuya kuba bubundlobongela obuqhekeza yonke imimandla-kwaye konke oku egameni lokungaqondi kakuhle kwenkululeko eyijongela phantsi inkululeko yomntu kwaye ekugqibeleni iyitshabalalise. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Idilesi eya kwiRoyal Curia, nge-20 kaDisemba ka-2010

IV. Abaprofeti bobuxoki

Kucacile kwizilumkiso zikaKristu kwiincwadi zeVangeli neeleta ukuba ingozi iya kuvela, kungekuphela ngaphandle, kodwa ikakhulu Ngaphakathi ICawa "igqwetha inyaniso." ^[6]cf. Ndiyazi ukuba emva kokumka kwam iingcuka eziqwengayo ziya kuza phakathi kwenu, zingawucongi umhlambi. Kwaye kwiqela lakho, amadoda aza kuza egqwetha inyaniso ukuze abarhole abafundi emva kwabo. Hlalani nilindile… (Izenzo 20: 29-31) Oko kukuthi, abo "baprofeti bobuxoki" ngabo bangafuni "ukumnyikimisa
isikhephe, ”ezigxininisa iimfundiso zecawa, okanye ziyibethe ngoyaba njengezipasile, ezingabalulekanga, okanye eziphelelwe lixesha. Bahlala bebona ukuba uLwabiwo kunye nolwakhiwo lweCawa luxinekile, luthandeka kakhulu kwaye alunademokhrasi. Bahlala befaka endaweni yemithetho yokuziphatha yendalo ngendlela eguqukayo "yokunyamezelana."
