Inkemba Evuthayo

"Bheka!" UMichael D. O'Brien

Njengoba ufunda lokhu kuzindla, khumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyasixwayisa ngoba uyasithanda, futhi ufisa ukuthi “bonke abantu basindiswe” (1 Tim 2: 4).

IN umbono wababoni abathathu bakaFatima, babona ingelosi imi phezu komhlaba iphethe inkemba evutha amalangabi. Ephawula ngalo mbono, uKhadinali Ratzinger uthe,

Ingelosi ephethe inkemba evuthayo ngakwesobunxele sikaMama kaNkulunkulu ikhumbula izithombe ezifanayo eNcwadini yeSambulo. Lokhu kubonisa usongo lokwahlulelwa okusondela emhlabeni wonke. Namuhla ithemba lokuthi umhlaba ungashiswa ube ngumlotha ngolwandle lomlilo alisabonakali njengephupho elimsulwa: umuntu uqobo, ngezinto azisungulile, ubambe inkemba evutha amalangabi. -Umlayezo weFatima, ukusuka Iwebhusayithi yaseVatican

Lapho eba uPapa, kamuva waphawula:

Isintu namuhla ngeshwa sihlangabezana nokwehlukana okukhulu nezingxabano ezibukhali ezibeka amathunzi amnyama ngekusasa laso… ingozi yokwanda kwenani lamazwe anezikhali zenuzi kubangela ukwesaba okuqinile kubo bonke abantu ababhekele lokho. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Disemba 11, 2007; USA Today

ISIPHETHO ESIQHAWULEKILE

Ngiyakholelwa ukuthi le ngelosi indizela phezu komhlaba futhi njengesintu—esimweni esibi kakhulu sesono kunangesikhathi sokubonakala kuka-1917 — kufinyelela ku ubukhulu bokuziqhenya uSathane ayenakho ngaphambi kokuwa kwakhe eZulwini.

… Usongo lokwahlulelwa lusithinta nathi, iSonto laseYurophu, eYurophu naseNtshonalanga iyonke… Ukukhanya nakho kungasuswa kithi futhi senza kahle ukuvumela lesi sixwayiso sizwakale ngokungathi sína okuphelele ezinhliziyweni zethu… -UPapa Benedict XVI, Kuvulwa uHomily, ISinodi Yababhishobhi, Okthoba 2, 2005, eRoma.

Inkemba yale ngelosi yokwahlulela ithi esika nhlangothi zombili.

Kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali esika nhlangothi zombili ... (IsAm. 1: 16)

Lokho wukuthi, usongo lokwahlulelwa oluza phezu komhlaba lunezinto zombili ngokufanele futhi ukuhlanza.

"UKUQALA KWEZINHLELO" (UMPHUMELA)

Lowo ngumbhalo ongezansi osetshenziswe kufayela le- I-New American Bible ukubhekisa ezikhathini ebezizovakashela isizukulwane esithile uJesu akhuluma ngaso:

Niyakuzwa ngezimpi nemibiko yezimpi… Izizwe ziyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso; kuyakuba khona indlala nokuzamazama komhlaba izindawo ngezindawo. (Math 24: 6-7)

Izimpawu zokuqala zokuthi le nkemba evutha amalangabi isiqalile ukushwiba sezivele zivele ngokuphelele. I- ukwehla kwenani labantu bezinhlanzi emhlabeni wonke, ukuwa okuphawulekayo kwe- izinhlobo zezinyoni, ukwehla kwe- uju-bee abantu okudingekayo ukuze impova izitshalo, Isimo sezulu esimangazayo futhi esixakile… Zonke lezi zinguquko ezingazelelwe zingaphonsa ama-eco-systems entekenteke ezinxushunxushwini. Ngeza kulokho ukukhohliswa kofuzo kwembewu nokudla, nemiphumela engaziwa yokuguqula indalo uqobo, kanye nethuba lokuthi indlala kusondela kunanini ngaphambili. Kuyoba ngumphumela wokwehluleka kwesintu ukunakekela nokuhlonipha indalo kaNkulunkulu, sibeka inzuzo ngaphambi kokwenza okuhle.

Ukwehluleka kwamazwe acebile aseNtshonalanga ukusiza ukuthuthukisa ukukhiqizwa kokudla kwamazwe e-Third World kuzobuya kuzobaphazamisa. Kuzoba nzima ukuthola ukudla noma yikuphi…

Njengoba uPapa Benedict asho, kukhona nethemba lokuthi impi ebhubhisayo. Kuncane okudingekayo ukushiwo lapha… yize ngiqhubeka nokuzwa iNkosi ikhuluma ngesizwe esithile, sizilungiselela buthule. Udrako obomvu.

Shaya icilongo eTekoa, uphakamise isibonakaliso phezu kweBeti Hakeremi; ngoba ububi busongela enyakatho, nokubhujiswa okunamandla. Ndodakazi enhle, ebuthakathaka, iZiyoni, uchithiwe; … ”Lungiselela ukulwa nayo, Phakama! masimphuthume emini! Maye! usuku luyancipha, izithunzi zakusihlwa ziyanda… (Jer 6: 1-4)

Lokhu kujeziswa, uma kukhulunywa ngokuqinile, akusona isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu kangako, kodwa imiphumela yesono, umgomo wokuhlwanyela nokuvuna. Indoda, yahlulela umuntu… izilahla.

Isahlulelo SikaNkulunkulu (Ukuhlanzwa)

Ngokwesiko lethu lamaKhatholika, isikhathi siyasondela lapho…

Uzobuya futhi ezokwahlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo. - INicene Creed

Kepha ukwahlulelwa kwe Ukuphila ngaphambi Isahlulelo Sokugcina asikho ngaphandle kwesandulela. Simbonile uNkulunkulu enza ngokuvumelana nalokho noma nini lapho isono sesintu sesibe sikhulu futhi sihlambalaza, futhi izindlela namathuba ahlinzekwa uNkulunkulu okuphenduka anganakwa (isb. uzamcolo omkhulu, iSodoma neGomora njll.) INcasakazi uMariya Ebusisiwe ubelokhu evela ezindaweni eziningi emhlabeni wonke eminyakeni engamakhulu amabili edlule; kuleyo mibono enikezwe imvume yesonto, unikeza umyalezo wesixwayiso eceleni komyalezo wothando ongapheli:

Njengoba ngishilo kuwe, uma abantu bengaphenduki futhi bazenze ngcono, uBaba uzokwenza isijeziso esibi kuso sonke isintu. Kuzoba isijeziso esikhulu ukwedlula uzamcolo, njengaleso esingakaze sibonwe ngaphambili. Umlilo uzokuwa esibhakabhakeni futhi uzosula ingxenye enkulu yesintu, enhle kanye nenhle, kungabi nabapristi noma abathembekile. —Ubusisiwe uMariya uMariya e-Akita, eJapane, ngo-Okthoba 13, 1973

Lo myalezo unanela amazwi omprofethi u-Isaya:

Bheka, uJehova udalula umhlaba, uwenza incithakalo; uyiphendula abhekise phansi phezulu, asakaze abahlali bayo: umuntu nje ovamile nompristi ngokufanayo… Umhlaba ungcolisiwe ngenxa yabakhileyo kuwo abephule imithetho, bephula izimiso, baphula isivumelwano sasendulo. Ngalokho isiqalekiso sidlile umhlaba, nabakhileyo kuwo bakhokhela icala labo; Ngakho-ke abahlala emhlabeni baphuphile, kwasala abantu abambalwa. (U-Isaya 24: 1-6)

Umprofethi uZakariya "engomeni yenkemba," ebhekisela kuSuku olukhulu lweNkosi, usinika umbono wokuthi bangaki abazosala:

“Ezweni lonke,” usho uJehova, “izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zazo ziyakunqunywa, zibhubhe, nengxenye yesithathu isale. (Zak 13: 8)

<p> Isijeziso sithi ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo, futhi kuhloswe ngalo ukususa bonke ububi emhlabeni ngoba abantu "abaphendukanga bamnikeza [uNkulunkulu] inkazimulo (IsAm 16: 9):

“Amakhosi omhlaba… azobuthana njengeziboshwa emgodini; bayovalelwa emgodini ongaphansi komhlaba, futhi emva kwezinsuku eziningi bazojeziswa. ” (Isaya 24: 21-22)

Futhi, u-Isaya akabhekiseli ekwahlulelweni kokugcina, kepha ekwahlulelweni kuka Ukuphila, ikakhulukazi labo - kungaba "umuntu ovamile noma umpristi" - abenqabile ukuphenduka bazitholela igumbi "endlini kaBaba," bakhetha igumbi Umbhoshongo omusha waseBabele. Isijeziso sabo saphakade, emzimbeni, izofika ngemuva “kwezinsuku eziningi,” okusho ukuthi, ngemvaI-Era Yokuthula. ” Okwamanje, imiphefumulo yabo izobe isivele isitholile “Ukwahlulelwa Okukhethekile,” okungukuthi, izobe isivele “ivalelwe” emlilweni wesihogo ilindele ukuvuka kwabafileyo, Nesahlulelo Sokugcina. (Bheka i- Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 1020-1021, ku "Ukwahlulela Okukhethekile" ngamunye wethu ozohlangabezana nakho lapho sifa.)

Kusuka kumbhali wezenkolo wekhulu lesithathu leminyaka,

Kepha Yena, lapho eseqede ukungalungi, futhi enza isahlulelo saKhe esikhulu, futhi eyokhumbuza empilweni abalungileyo abebephila kusukela ekuqaleni, uyobe eganwe phakathi kwabantu iminyaka eyinkulungwane… —Lactantius (250-317 AD), Izikhungo Zaphezulu, Obaba be-Ante-Nicene, k. 211

UKUWA KWESINTU… UKUWA KWEZINKANYEZI

Lesi Sahlulelo Sokuhlanjululwa singafika ngezindlela eziningi, kepha okuqinisekile ukuthi sizovela kuNkulunkulu uqobo (u-Isaya 24: 1). Isimo esisodwa esinjalo, esivame ukwambulwa ngasese nokwahlulela kwencwadi yeSambulo, ukufika kwe inkanyezi enomsila:

Ngaphambi kokuba iComet ifike, izizwe eziningi, ezinhle ngaphandle, zizokhuzwa ngokuswela nendlala [imiphumela]. Isizwe esikhulu olwandle esihlala abantu bezinhlanga ezahlukahlukene nozalo: ngokuzamazama komhlaba, isivunguvungu, namagagasi olwandle kuzokonakala. Izokwehlukaniswa, futhi ingxenye enkulu icwiliswe. Leso sizwe sizoba namashwa amaningi olwandle, futhi silahlekelwe amakoloni asempumalanga ngeTiger neNgonyama. IComet ngezingcindezi zayo ezinkulu, izophoqelela okuningi olwandle futhi ikhukhule amazwe amaningi, kubangele ukuswela okukhulu nezinhlupho eziningi [ukuhlanza]. —USt. Hildegard, Isiprofetho SamaKatolika, k. 79 (1098-1179 AD)

Futhi, siyabona imiphumela ulandelwa ngu ukuhlanza.

EFatima, phakathi isimangaliso okwabonwa ngamashumi ezinkulungwane, ilanga labonakala liwela emhlabeni. Labo ababelapho babecabanga ukuthi umhlaba uzophela. Bekuyi isixwayiso ukugcizelela ubizo lukaMama wethu lokuphenduka nokuthandaza; futhi kwakuyisinqumo esasinqandwe ngokuncengela kukaNkosikazi wethu (bheka Amacilongo Esixwayiso - Ingxenye III)

Kwaphuma inkemba ebukhali esika nhlangothi zombili, futhi ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga ngokukhanya kwalo okukhulu. (IsAm. 1: 16)

UNkulunkulu uzothumela izijeziso ezimbili: eyodwa izoba sesimweni sezimpi, ukuvukelwa, nobunye ububi; kuyakusuka emhlabeni. Enye izothunyelwa ivela ezulwini. —Ubusiswe u-Anna Maria Taigi, i-Catholic Prophecy, u-P. 76

UMUSA NOBULUNGISA

UNkulunkulu uluthando, ngakho-ke, ukwahlulela Kwakhe akuphikisani nesimo sothando. Umuntu usengabona umusa Wakhe usebenza esimweni samanje somhlaba. Imiphefumulo eminingi isiqala ukuqaphela izimo zomhlaba ezikhathazayo, futhi ngethemba, sibheka umnyombo wezinsizi zethu eziningi, okungukuthi, Isono. Ngaleyo ndlela futhi,ukukhanyisa unembeza”Kungenzeka ukuthi isiqalile kakade (bheka “Iso Lesiphepho”).

Ngokuguqulwa kwenhliziyo, umkhuleko, nokuzila ukudla, mhlawumbe okuningi kwalokhu okubhalwe lapha kungancishiswa, uma kungeke kubambezeleke ngokuphelele. Kepha ukwahlulelwa kuzofika, kungaba sekupheleni kwesikhathi noma ekugcineni kwezimpilo zethu. Kulowo obeke ukholo lwakhe kuKristu, ngeke kube yisikhathi sokuthuthumela ngokwesaba nokuphelelwa yithemba, kepha sokujabula ngomusa omkhulu futhi ongenakulinganiswa kaNkulunkulu.

Nobulungisa Bakhe.
