THE Umprofeti uDaniel unikwa umbono onamandla nowoyikisayo wezikumkani ezine eziza kulawula okwexeshana — okwesine inguzwilakhe wobuzwilakhe kwihlabathi liphela awayeza kuvela kuwo uMchasi-Kristu, ngokweNkcubeko. Bobabini uDaniel noKristu bachaza ukuba ayakubonakala njani amaxesha esi "silo", ngaphandle kweendlela ezahlukeneyo.
UDaniel uchaza ngolawulo lobuzwilakhe 'olunamazinyo amakhulu entsimbi elalidla laza latyumza, laza okushiyekileyo lanyhashwa ngeenyawo zalo.' Kwelinye icala, kubonakala ngathi uYesu uchaza isiphithiphithi kwaye ziphumo ohamba phambili, ukhapha irhamncwa, intshabalalo yeYerusalem, uhlanga oluvukelana nohlanga, iinyikima zomhlaba ezinkulu, iindlala, neendyikitya zokufa kwiindawo ngeendawo. Ukhankanya intshutshiso, ukujikeleza iYerusalem yimikhosi, kunye nentlekele ethile echaphazela ulwandle neelwandle. [1]cf. ULuka 21: 5-28
Ngaba ikhona imiqondiso yokuba amaxesha erhamncwa asifikile? Kwinkulungwane nje edlulileyo kuphela, sibonile iimfazwe ezimbini zehlabathi, ukuqhubeka kohlanga, kwaye ngoku ugqatso lwezixhobo zenyukliya phakathi kwamazwe aliqela. Sikwangqina iinyikima zomhlaba ezinamandla amakhulu okutshabalalisa, ukusuka eJapan ukuya eHaita, eNew Zealand ukuya eIndonesia. Ukunqongophala kokutya, ngenxa yeendlela ezimbi zoqoqosho nezolimo, zixhaphakile kumazwe asithathu ehlabathi… kwaye ngoku ilizwe lilungele ukuqhushumba “kwezifo” njengoko singena kwixesha lasemva kwembambano apho amachiza ethu engasasebenziyo.
UPopu uFrancis, mhlawumbi kungengakho nje ngokungangqinelaniyo, ukhuphe incwadi yakhe yokukhuthaza abapostile kule veki xa sifunda ngerhamncwa likaDaniyeli, u-St. Ubuzwilakhe kwezoqoqosho. [2]cf. ISityhi 13: 16-17 Kwincwadi yakhe, uBawo Oyingcwele uthetha "ngenkqubo" yangoku, esithi:
Ubuzwilakhe obutsha ke buyazalwa, abubonakali kwaye buhlala bubonakala, obunyanzelisa ngokungathandabuzekiyo kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo babeke eyabo imithetho nemigaqo. Ityala kunye nokuqokelelwa kwenzala kukwenza kube nzima kumazwe ukuba aqonde amandla oqoqosho lwawo kwaye agcine abemi ekuonwabeleni amandla abo okwenene okuthenga. Kuko konke oku sinokongeza ukurhwaphiliza ngokubanzi kunye nokuzikhusela kwirhafu, okuthe kwathatha indawo kwihlabathi liphela. Ukunxanelwa amandla kunye nezinto onazo akukho mda. Kule nkqubo, exhomekeke kuyo ginya Yonke into emi endleleni yengeniso eyandisiweyo, nokuba yintoni ethe-ethe, njengokusingqongileyo, ayinakuzikhusela phambi komdla wentengiso, ethi ibe ngulo mthetho. —UPOPA UFRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-56
Ewe, nendalo esingqongileyo inyathelwa phantsi ngeenyawo njengoko siqhubeka sifaka ityhefu ekutyeni, emanzini nasemhlabeni. KwiNdumiso namhlanje, siyathandaza:
Nina mahlengesi, nani nonke zinto zidalwa zinamanzi, bongani uYehova; Mdumiseni, nimphakamise ngaphezu kwayo yonke ngonaphakade. (Daniyeli 3)
Kodwa sifundile kulenyanga ukuba amahlengethwa ayafa ngamanani — neenyamakazi, iintaka, iintlanzi, nezinye izidalwa ezinezizathu ezingaziwayo. Indumiso yendalo iguqulwa ibe sisililo.
Kuthekani ngentshutshiso? Kubekho abafeli-nkolo kwinkulungwane edlulileyo kunakuqala kwiinkulungwane ezingama-20 ezidlulileyo zidityanisiwe. Kwaye kucacile ukuba inkululeko yamaKristu iyanyamalala, hayi kuphela kwiindawo ezinobutshaba ezinje ngemimandla yamaSilamsi, kodwa nakuMntla Melika, apho inkululeko yokuthetha inyamalala ngokukhawuleza. Kwaye kuyakufika, ngalo mzuzu, utshilo uBawo oyiNgcwele, xa iintshaba zeCawe ziya kube zigqumelele yonke inyaniso.
Kuya kuba njengoloyiso lwenkosana yeli hlabathi: ukohlulwa kukaThixo. Kubonakala ngathi ngalo mzuzu wokugqibela wentlekele, uya kulidla ilifa eli hlabathi, ukuze abe yinkosi yeli hlabathi. —UPOPA UFRANCIS, eHomily, nge-28 Novemba 2013, kwisiXeko saseVatican; Zenit.org
Kodwa uYesu usixelela kwiVangeli yanamhlanje ukuba, njengamakholwa aphumeleleyo, kufuneka sizibone ngenye indlela izinto:
… Xa nizibona ezi zinto zisenzeka, yazini ukuba ubukumkani bukaThixo bukufuphi. Inene, ndithi kuni, Asisayi kudlula esi sizukulwana, zingadanga zonke ezo zinto zibekho. (ULuka 21: 31-32)
Amaxesha okutshutshiswa athetha ukuba uloyiso lukaYesu Krestu lukufuphi… Kule veki kuyakusinceda ukuba sicinge ngolu kreqo, olubizwa ngokuba ngumqobo wonqulo, kwaye sizibuze: 'Ngaba ndiyayithanda iNkosi? Ngaba ndiyamhlonela uYesu Kristu, iNkosi? Okanye ngaba sisiqingatha nesiqingatha, ndiyawudlala umdlalo inkosana yeli hlabathi… Ukunqula kude kube sekupheleni, ngokunyaniseka nokuthembeka: olu lubabalo ekufuneka silucelile kule veki. ' —UPOPA UFRANCIS, eHomily, nge-28 Novemba 2013, kwisiXeko saseVatican; Zenit.org
