WE baphila ezinsukwini ezingavamile. Akunambuzo. Ngisho nomhlaba wezwe ubanjwe umuzwa okhulelwe wenguquko emoyeni.
Okuhlukile, mhlawumbe, ukuthi abantu abaningi ababevame ukugxeka umbono wokuthi noma iyiphi ingxoxo "yezikhathi zokuphela," noma ukuhlanjululwa kukaNkulunkulu, sebebheka okwesibili. Umzuzwana Kanzima bheka.
Kubonakala kimi ukuthi ikhona lekhoneni liyaphakama futhi siyayiqonda imiBhalo ekhuluma "ngezikhathi zokuphela" ngamalambu amasha nemibala. Akungabazeki ukuthi imibhalo namagama engiwabelane ngawo lapha aveza izinguquko ezinkulu emkhathizwe. Nginakho, ngaphansi kokuqondisa komqondisi wami wokomoya, ngibhale futhi ngakhuluma ngalezo zinto iNkosi ezibeke enhliziyweni yami, imvamisa ngomqondo omkhulu isisindo or esivuthayo. Kepha nami ngibuze lo mbuzo, "Ingabe lezi the izikhathi? ” Ngempela, okungenani, sinikezwa amazwibela nje.
Besiphila “ezikhathini zokugcina” kusukela uJesu enyukela eZulwini, silindele ukubuya Kwakhe. Nokho, engibhekisela kukho lapha uma ngikhuluma “ngezikhathi zokuphela” yilokho isizukulwane esithile okukhulunywa ngawo emaVangelini azozwa imihelo kanye nenkazimulo yokubusa okuzayo kukaKristu.
Usuku ngalunye oludlulayo, kimina kubonakala sengathi inkungu iyakhuphuka.
IZIMPAWU
Ingabe sikuleyo nkathi yezinhlungu zokuzala uJesu akhuluma ngayo?
Isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso; kuyakuba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, nendlala nezifo ezindaweni ngezindawo; futhi kuyoba khona izinto ezesabisayo nezibonakaliso ezinkulu ezivela ezulwini… Konke lokhu kungukuqala kwemihelo. ( Luka 21:10-11; Mathewu 24:8 )
Uma sicubungula amagama athi “umbuso ngokumelene nombuso”, lokhu kungabuye kuhunyushwe ngokuthi “iqembu elimelene nohlanga” emphakathini noma esizweni. Futhi sikubonile ukuqhuma okumangalisayo kwalokhu, ikakhulukazi ohlotsheni olubi lokuqothulwa kohlanga (cabanga ngeYugoslavia, iRwanda, i-Iraq, neSudan, njengoba sikhuluma—konke lokhu ezikhathini zamuva nje.)
Nakuba ukuzamazama sekukonke kungandi ngokwezazi zokuzamazama komhlaba, inani labantu abathintwe ukuzamazama komhlaba ngenxa yokwanda kwabantu nokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo liyanda. Ngakho, ukuzamazama komhlaba esizukulwaneni sethu kuya ngokuya kuphawuleka. Futhi singawashaya indiva kanjani amanani amakhulu okuzamazama komhlaba kwamuva ezingxenyeni zomhlaba? Ukuzamazama komhlaba kwase-Asia okwadala i-tsunami ebulalayo ngo-2005 ukusho okukodwa kuphela. Ibulale cishe ikota yesigidi.
Siyazi ukuthi kunezixwayiso zobhubhane oluzayo emhlabeni wonke; kukhona ukwanda kwakamuva kokukhathazeka kule nyanga futhi ngomkhuhlane wezinyoni wase-Asia. Izinhlobo ezintsha ze-STD ziyavela ngenkathi, ikakhulukazi phakathi kwentsha, ama-STDs ubhubhane. Futhi kukhona amagciwane amelana nemithi kanye namagciwane amasha akhula emazweni asentshonalanga, ingasaphathwa eyesifo senkomo esihlanyayo. Okunye okuphawulekayo yizinombolo eziningi zezinhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezifa ngendlela engaqondakali futhi ngokuzumayo olwandle. Noma ngisho nasemhlabeni—ngokwesibonelo, ukufa okungachazwanga kwamuva kwezinyoni ezingu-5000 e-Australia.
Aziwa kancane phakathi komphakathi jikelele izibonakaliso ezenzeka emazulwini. Ezindaweni ezingcwele zaseMarian emhlabeni wonke, kunezinkulungwane zemibiko yabantu ababona ilanga “lijikeleza”, lishintsha imibala, noma ngezinye izikhathi libonakala liwela emhlabeni. Izithombe zikaJesu, uMariya, uJosefa, noma uKristu Child ephuma elangeni zivamile kulezi zindawo zokuthandaza. Amavidiyo amangalisayo akamuva avela eMedjugorje akhombisa ilanga njengechashaza elimnyama elingabonakala ngeso lenyama (libuke lapha). Kuphinde kwaba nokwakheka kwamafu okuyingqayizivele, okungavamile enyangeni, futhi manje, ukubonakala okumangalisayo kwe-Comet McNaught engase ibe inkanyezi enomsila egqamile emlandweni oqoshiwe. Kuye kwashiwo ukuthi ngaphambi kwezinxushunxushu ezinkulu emlandweni, ama-comets abonakala njengohlobo lwe-harbinger…
Ngabe umuntu udinga ngisho nokuphawula ngesimo sezulu?
Okunye okungaziwa kakhulu amaphupho nemibono enamandla, eminye yayo okwabelwana ngayo lapha, futhi iyaqhubeka nokufika ku-imeyili yami. Abantu abaningi bakhuluma ngamaphupho acacile abahamba kuwo endaweni empunga eyincithakalo. Abanye bakhuluma ngezinkanyezi ezijikelezayo futhi eziwela emhlabeni. Abanye balandisa ngemibono namaphupho okushaywa kwamacilongo. Kanti ezinye ziningiliza izingxabano zempi. Lezi zonke izincazelo ezingatholakala emiBhalweni mayelana nalezo “zikhathi zokugcina.”
Umbono owodwa omangalisayo uvela esontweni elingaphansi komhlaba eShayina. Njengoba ngitshelwe muva nje kothintana naye waseNyakatho Melika, ngokubona kwakho:
Abantu ababili abahlala ezintabeni behlela edolobheni laseShayina befuna umholi othile wesifazane weBandla elingaphansi komhlaba lapho. Le ndoda nomkayo asebekhulile babengewona amaKristu. Kodwa embonweni, banikwa igama lalona wesifazane okwakumelwe bamfune futhi badlulisele umlayezo.
Lapho umthola, lo mbhangqwana wathi, “Kwabonakala kithi indoda enentshebe esibhakabhakeni yathi sizonitshela ukuthi ‘uJesu uyabuya.’”
UKUVULA
Nokho, ingabe singena nje enkathini yokucwenga okukhulu noguquko?
UPawulu uthi,
Siyazi inxenye, siprofetha inxenye, kepha lapho kufika okupheleleyo, okuyingxenye kuyakudlula... (1 Kor. 13:9)
Kungenzeka, nokho, ukuthi kuzoba khona a ukuphothula iziqu sokuqonda njengoba sibheke ekupheleleni, okuyobonakala kuphela lapho sibona uKristu ubuso nobuso? Lokhu empeleni imfundiso yeBandla:
Kodwa-ke noma ngabe iSambulo sesivele siphelele, asicaciswanga ngokuphelele; kusala okholweni lobuKristu kancane kancane ukukuqonda ngokugcwele ukubaluleka kwalo ngokuqhubeka kwamakhulu eminyaka. —Ikhathekizimu yeSonto LamaKatolika 66
Kunjengokungathi siqwala intaba ngasekupheleni kwesikhathi. Isizukulwane ngasinye siphakeme kancane, futhi ngaleyo ndlela singabona kancane kunaleso sangaphambili. Kepha ekugcineni kuzofika isizukulwane esizofinyelela eqhweni lokuqala lalesi siqongo esimbozwe yiqhwa…
Kunengxoxo engavamile eTestamenteni Elidala ebilokhu iphikelela engqondweni yami muva nje. Encwadini kaDaniyeli, umprofethi onegama elifanayo unikezwa izambulo ezibhekisela ‘ezikhathini zokugcina. Lezi zinto zalotshwa encwadini, ethi kuye ingelosi:
Kepha wena Daniyeli, gcina isigijimi kulo, uyibambe le ncwadi kuze kube-sesikhathini sokugcina; abaningi bayokuwa, ububi bande. (Daniyeli 12: 4)
Incwadi ivaliwe kuze isikhathi sokuphela, esibonakala siphakamisa ukuthi sizovulwa ngaleso sikhathi. Yisikhathi, kusho ingelosi, lapho abaningi bayokuwa, ububi bande. Uzwakala ujwayelekile? UJesu washo into efanayo ngaleso sizukulwane ‘sezikhathi zokugcina.
Ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabaningi luzophola. (Mathewu 24:12)
Mhlawumbe, lolu uphawu olukhulu kunazo zonke osukwini lwethu—ikakhulukazi njengoba isayensi iqala ukuxhaphaza nokuguqula zona kanye izinto zokuphila. Futhi asikaze nanini sikubone ukuwa okungaka oKholweni njengoba sinakho eminyakeni engama-40 edlule noma kanjalo. Nokho, uJesu ubonakala ebonisa ukuthi lokhu kuqina kwezinhliziyo kuzofika ngemuva ukushushiswa okukhulu… ukushushiswa okubonakala kusondele.
Kwezinye izinguqulo zombhalo kaDaniyeli, lithi “ulwazi luyakwanda.” Kubonakala kimi ukuthi ulwazi nokuqonda kwe- umongo lezinsuku zethu is iyakhula… njengokungathi yonke into iqala ukugxila kancane.
Ingabe incwadi kaDaniyeli isivuliwe?
