Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoJanuwari 8, 2015…
KUNYE emasontweni adlule, ngabhala ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi 'ngikhulume ngqo, ngesibindi, futhi ngaphandle kokuxolisa "kwinsalela" elalelayo. Kuyinsali yabafundi kuphela manje, hhayi ngoba bekhethekile, kepha bekhethiwe; kuyinsali, hhayi ngoba bonke bengamenyiwe, kodwa bambalwa abasabelayo…. ' [1]qhathanisa Ukuguquka nesibusiso Okungukuthi, ngichithe iminyaka eyishumi ngibhala ngezikhathi esiphila kuzo, ngihlala ngichaza iSiko Elingcwele neMagisterium ukuze ngilethe ukulingana engxoxweni mhlawumbe ethembele kakhulu ekwambulweni kwangasese. Yize kunjalo, kukhona abanye abamane bazizwe iyiphi ingxoxo “yezikhathi zokuphela” noma izingqinamba esibhekene nazo zifiphele kakhulu, zimbi, noma zishiseka ngokweqile — ngakho-ke zimane zisuse futhi zizikhiphe ohlwini. Makube njalo. UPapa Benedict wayeqonde ngqo ngemiphefumulo enjalo:
Kububuthongo bethu phambi kukaNkulunkulu okusenza singabunaki ububi: asimuzwa uNkulunkulu ngoba asifuni ukuphazanyiswa, ngakho-ke sihlala singenandaba nobubi. ”… Labo bethu abangafuni bheka amandla aphelele wobubi futhi awufuni ukungena ku-Passion yakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Agency, iVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2011, General Audience
Enye yezinto engaguquguquki abantu abangitshela yona ezincwadini zabo ukuthi lokhu kubhala okungcwele kubanika ithemba. Kepha hhayi ithemba elingamanga. Asikwazi ukukhuluma ngokuFika kukaJesu Kristu ngaphandle kokuvuma ukuthi wathini ngakho: ukuthi ukubuya kwakhe kuzohambisana nosizi olukhulu, ushushiso kanye nesiyaluyalu, futhi ikakhulukazi, inkohliso. Ngakho-ke, ingxoxo “yezibonakaliso zezikhathi” ayiphathelene nelukuluku lokwazi; kumayelana nokusindisa imiphefumulo; kumayelana nezingane zethu nabazukulu bethu abathathwa ngamehlo I-Tsunami Engokomoya yenkohliso kulezi zikhathi. Kukangaki uzwe ama-homilists, izikhulumi, nababhali bethi "Sonke sizokufa sihlangane noKristu noma kunini, ngakho-ke akunandaba ukuthi uyeza esikhathini sethu noma cha"? Pho-ke kungani uJesu asiyala ukuthi “qaphela futhi uthandaze”? Ngoba ukukhohlisa kungaba okucashile nokuhehayo kangangoba kungadala ukuhlubuka okukhulu kwamakholwa okholweni.
Ngisanda kufakwa engxoxweni ye-imeyili eholwa yisazi semfundiso yenkolo uPeter Bannister, umhumushi we-Countdown to the Kingdom, ofunde bobabili oFata beSonto kanye namakhasi angaba ngu-15,000 esambulo sangasese esithembekile kusukela ngo-1970. “inkathi yokuthula” njengoba kuchazwe kusAmbulo 20: 1-6 futhi esikhundleni salokho bakhethe incazelo ka-Augustine engokomfanekiso “yeminyaka eyinkulungwane” (i-amillennialism), noma kunjalo uthi…
… NjengoMfu Joseph Iannuzzi noMark Mallett, manje senginesiqiniseko sokuthi i-amillennialism akuyona kuphela hhayi ukubophezela ngokuqinile kodwa empeleni kube yiphutha elikhulu (njengemizamo eminingi emlandweni yokusekela izimpikiswano zemfundiso yenkolo, noma ngabe zithuthuke kangakanani, eziphikisana nokufundwa okusobala kweMibhalo, kulokhu iSambulo 19 no-20). Mhlawumbe lo mbuzo ubungabalulekile kangako emakhulwini eminyaka adlule, kepha manje usukwenza njalo…
Ebhekisa ocwaningweni lwakhe olukhulu, izikhangiso ze-Bannister:
Angikwazi ukukhomba a single Umthombo othembekile osekela i-eschatology ka-Augustine. Yonke indawo kuyaqinisekiswa ukuthi lokhu esibhekene nakho kungekudala kunakuqala ukuza kweNkosi (okuqondakala ngomqondo omkhulu umcimbi kaKristu, hhayi ngomqondo wecala weminyaka eyinkulungwane wokubuya kukaJesu ngokomzimba ukuzobusa ngokomzimba phezu kombuso wesikhashana) ukuze umhlaba uvuselelwehhayi Okwahlulelwa kokugcina / ukuphela kweplanethi…. Okushiwo okunengqondo ngesisekelo somBhalo sokuthi Ukuza kweNkosi 'kuseduze' yilokho, futhi, ukuza kweNdodana Yokubhujiswa. Angiboni noma iyiphi indlela nganoma yini ezungeze lokhu. Nakulokhu, lokhu kuqinisekiswa ngenani elihlaba umxhwele lemithombo yesisindo esisindayo…
Ngalokho engqondweni, ngifuna ukwethula futhi indlela ezolile nenokulinganisela kule ndaba ngombhalo ongezansi obizwa ngokuthi: Umphikukristu ezikhathini zethu. Ngikwenza lokho, hhayi ngoba nginentshisekelo ebuze bokubala isikhathi sokubonakaliswa kwakhe. Kunalokho futhi, ngoba ukuza kwakhe kwandulelwe futhi kuhambisane nenkohliso enkulu kangaka, ukuze “nabakhethiweyo” bakhohliswe. [2]isib. Mat 24:24 Njengoba uzobona, opapa abaningi bekhulu leminyaka elidlule bakholelwa ukuthi le nkohliso iyaqhubeka…
NGABE SINGABE NALE NGXOXO?
Umkhumbi Omnyama uyahamba ngomkhumbi...
Lawo ngamagama engiwazwile enyuka enhliziyweni yami ngaphambi kokuqala kwale Advent edlule. Ngizwe ukuthi iNkosi inginxusa ukuba ngibhale ngalokhu — mayelana Isambulo 13—futhi ngikhuthazwe ngokwengeziwe ngumqondisi wami ongokomoya kulokhu. Futhi kungani kungenjalo, ngoba umbhalo uqobo uthi:
Noma ubani onezindlebe kufanele ezwe la mazwi. (IsAm 13: 9)
Kepha nanku umbuzo kuwe nakimi: sinazo yini izindlebe zokuzwa la mazwi? Ngabe siyakwazi ukungena engxoxweni yoMphik'ukristu kanye nezimpawu zezikhathi, okuyingxenye yenkolo yethu yamaKhatholika, okuyingxenye yesibopho sethu esinikezwe nguKristu ukuthi "sibuke futhi sithandaze"? [3]isib. Marku 14:38 Noma ingabe sihambisa amehlo ethu ngokushesha bese sikhipha noma iyiphi ingxoxo njengokuphambanisa nokwesaba okukhulu? Ngabe siyakwazi ukubeka eceleni imicabango kanye nokubandlulula kwethu kwangaphambili futhi silalele izwi leBandla, kulokho oPapa kanye noFata beSonto abakushilo nabakushoyo? Ngoba bakhuluma ngomqondo kaKristu owathi kubabhishobhi baKhe bokuqala, yingakho nakwabalandelayo:
Onilalelayo uyangilalela nami. Lowo onilahlayo uyangilahla. (Luka 10:16)
Ngaphambi kokuthi ngihlole noma yikuphi ukuxoxwa ngeBlack Ship, lokho kukhuphuka isonto lamanga, ake siqale sibheke umbuzo ophikisayo we nini Umphik'ukristu kulindeleke. Umbuzo obalulekile ngoba umBhalo usitshela ukuthi ukuza kwakhe kuzohambisana nenkohliso enkulu. Ngokusobala, lokhu sekuvele kwenzekile, ikakhulukazi ezweni laseNtshonalanga…
INDODANA YOKUPHELELWA
Isiko Elingcwele liyakuqinisekisa ukuthi, ngasekupheleni kwesikhathi, indoda ethile uSt. Ngokuqinisekile, ungokoqobo ngempela indoda.
… Ukuthi Umphikukristu uyindoda eyodwa, hhayi amandla — hhayi umoya wokuziphatha, noma uhlelo lwezepolitiki, hhayi ubukhosi, noma ukulandelana kwababusi — kwakuyisiko leSonto Lokuqala. —USt. UJohn Henry Newman, "Izikhathi Zomphikukristu", Isifundo 1
Isikhathi sakhe sembulwa kuPawulu njengaphambi "kosuku lweNkosi":
Makungabikho muntu onikhohlisa nganoma iyiphi indlela; ngoba lolo suku alunakufika, ngaphandle kokuthi kufike ukuhlubuka kuqala, kwembulwe umuntu ongenamthetho, indodana yokubhujiswa. (2 Thes. 2: 3)
AbaFata BeSonto bokuqala baqinisekise ngazwi linye ukuthi “indodana yokulahlwa” ingumuntu, umuntu oyedwa. Kodwa-ke, uPapa 
U-Emeritus Benedict XVI wenze iphuzu elibalulekile:
Mayelana nomphik 'ukristu, sesibonile ukuthi eTestamenteni eNtsha uhlala ecabanga ngemininingwane yomlando wesikhathi samanje. Angeke akhawulelwe kunoma yimuphi umuntu. Ngokufanayo uthwala imaski eminingi esizukulwaneni ngasinye. -Cardinal Ratzinger (IPOPE BENEDICT XVI), I-Theology Yesimanga, I-Eschatology 9, uJohann Auer noJoseph Ratzinger, ngo-1988, k. 199-200
Lowo umbono wokubambisana ne-Holy Sacred:
Bantwana, yihora lokugcina leli; futhi njengoba nje nizwile ukuthi umphikukristu uyeza, ngakho manje sekuvele abaphikukristu abaningi. Ngalokho siyazi ukuthi leli yihora lokugcina… Noma ngubani ophika uBaba neNdodana, lowo ungumphikukristu. (1 Johane 2:18, 22)
Lokho ukusho nje ukuthi kunabaphikukristu abaningi emlandweni wesintu. Kepha umBhalo ukhomba ikakhulukazi koyedwa, oyinhloko phakathi kwabaningi, ohambisana nokuhlubuka okukhulu noma ukuhlubuka ngasekupheleni kwesikhathi. Obaba beSonto bambiza ngokuthi "indodana yolahleko", "ongenamthetho", "inkosi", "isihlubuki nomphangi" okuvela ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi kuvela eMiddle East, mhlawumbe okuyifa lamaJuda.
Kepha uzofika nini?
UKULANDELANA KWEZIKHATHI ZOMKHOHLISI
Empeleni kukhona amakamu amabili kulokhu, kodwa njengoba ngizokusho, empeleni awaphikisani.
Ikamu lokuqala, nelidlange kakhulu Namuhla, ukuthi Umphik'ukristu uvela ekupheleni kwesikhathi, ngokushesha ngaphambi kokubuya kokugcina kukaJesu ngenkazimulo evula ukwahlulela kwendawo yonke nokuphela komhlaba.
Elinye ikamu yilo elidlange kakhulu koFata BeSonto bokuqala futhi, ikakhulukazi, elilandelana ngokulandelana kwezikhathi zikaSt. John the Apostle kusAmbulo. Futhi lokho ngukuza kwe 
ongenamthetho ulandela "inkathi yokuthula", lokho oFata beSonto abakubiza ngokuthi "ukuphumula kwesabatha", "usuku lwesikhombisa", "izikhathi zombuso" noma "usuku lweNkosi." [4]qhathanisa Izinsuku Ezimbili Ezengeziwe Lokhu futhi kungaba umbono ovame kakhulu ezambulweni zesimanje ezingokwesiprofetho. Ngithathe isikhathi ngichaza imfundiso yenkolo yaBaba BeSonto kulokhu mayelana nemibhalo emibili: Ilahlekile kanjani i-Era futhi Millenarianism: Kuyini, futhi akuyona. Ukufingqa umqondo ohlangene weMagisterium, uFr. UCharles Arminjon wabhala:
Umbono onegunya elikhulu, futhi obonakala uvumelana kakhulu neMibhalo eNgcwele, ngukuthi, ngemuva kokuwa komphik 'ukristu, iSonto lamaKhatholika lizophinda lingene enkathini yokuchuma nokunqoba. -Ukuphela Kwezwe Lamanje kanye Nezimfihlakalo Zempilo Yesikhathi Esizayo, UFr. UCharles Arminjon (1824-1885), k. 56-57; ISophia Institute Press
Lokhu kubalwa kwezikhathi kucacile eNcwadini yeSambulo lapho uSt.John abhala khona:
I. Ukuvuka kukadrako kubantu bakaNkulunkulu ("owesifazane") [5]isib. IsAm 12: 1-6
II. Udrako unikeza igunya lakhe "esilo" esibusa umhlaba wonke okwesikhashana. Esinye isilo, "umprofethi wamanga", sivela siphoqa bonke ukuba bakhonze isilo sokuqala futhi bamukele umnotho ofanayo, lowo obamba iqhaza kuwo "uphawu lwesilo". [6]isib. Isambulo 13
III. UJesu ubonakalisa amandla aKhe ehambisana nebutho lasezulwini, ebhubhisa uMphikukristu, ephonsa isilo nomprofethi wamanga esihogweni. [7]isib. IsAm 19:20; 2 Thes 2: 8 Ngokusobala lokhu akusikho ukuphela komhlaba ngokulandelana kwezikhathi kukaSt. John, noma ukuFika kwesiBili ekupheleni kwesikhathi. UFr. UCharles uyachaza:
U-St. Thomas no-St John Chrysostom bachaza amagama la quin Dominus Jesus destruet illustre adventus sui ("Lowo iNkosi uJesu ezombhubhisa ngokukhanya kokuza Kwayo") ngomqondo wokuthi uKristu uzoshaya Umphik'ukristu ngokumkhazimulisa ngokukhazimula okuzoba njengobubi nophawu lokuFuya Kwakhe kwesibili… -Ukuphela Kwezwe Lamanje kanye Nezimfihlakalo Zempilo Yesikhathi Esizayo, UFr. UCharles Arminjon (1824-1885), k. 56-57; ISophia Institute Press
IV. USathane uboshwe “emgodini ongelamkhawulo” njengoba iSonto libusa ngokuthula isikhathi eside, elifanekiselwa yinombolo “iminyaka eyinkulungwane”. [8]isib. IsAm 20:12
V. Ngemuva kwalokho, kuba nokuvukela kokugcina ngemuva kokukhululwa kukaSathane, lokho uSt. John akubiza ngokuthi "uGogi noMagogi." Kepha umlilo uvela ezulwini, ubaqede lapho bezungeza ikamu labangcwele. Okuqaphelekayo ngokulandelana kwezikhathi zikaSt. John ukuthi “uDeveli owayebadukisile waphonswa echibini lomlilo nesibabule, lapho kwakukhona isilo nomprofethi wamanga. " [9]isib. IsAm 20:10
VI. Umlando wesintu uphela njengoba kuqala Isigwebo Sokugcina. [10]isib. IsAm 20: 11-15
VII. UNkulunkulu udala amazulu amasha nomhlaba omusha njengoba iSonto lihlangene ingunaphakade kumlingani wakhe waphezulu. [11]isib. IsAm 21: 1-3
Mayelana nalokhu, ngokulandela imfundiso kaBenedict XVI, isilo nomprofethi wamanga bayekethisa ukufika kukamphikukristu, futhi uGogi noMagogi ukuza mhlawumbe kwalokho u-Augustine akubiza ngokuthi “okokugcina Umphikukristu. ” Futhi lokhu kuchazwa futhi emibhalweni yoFata beSonto bokuqala.
Kepha lapho Umphik'ukristu esebhubhisile zonke izinto kuleli zwe, uzobusa iminyaka emithathu nezinyanga eziyisithupha, futhi ahlale ethempelini
IJerusalema; iNkosi izobuya ivela ezulwini ngamafu… ithumele lo muntu nalabo abamlandelayo echibini lomlilo; kepha ukuletha kwabalungile izikhathi zombuso, okungukuthi, okunye, usuku olungcwelisiwe lwesikhombisa… Lokhu kuzokwenzeka ngezikhathi zombuso, okungukuthi, ngosuku lwesikhombisa… iSabatha leqiniso labalungileyo. —St. U-Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140- 202 AD); I-Adversus Haereses, u-Irenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4, The Fathers of the Church, CIMA Publishing Co.
UTertullian ubeka ukuthi "izikhathi zombuso" ziyisigaba esiphakathi ngaphambi kokuphela komhlaba:
Siyavuma ukuthi umbuso sathenjiswa umhlaba phezu komhlaba, yize wawungakabi khona ezulwini, kuphela kwesinye isimo sokubakhona; ngoba kuzoba njalo emva kovuko lweminyaka eyinkulungwane edolobheni laseJerusalema elakhiwe ngokwaphezulu… - UTertullian (155–240 AD), UNise weSonto laseNicaea; U-Adversus Marcion, Ubaba ka-Ante-Nicene, Abashicileli bakaHenrickson, 1995, Vol. 3, kk. 342-343)
Umbhali we Incwadi kaBarnaba, kubhekwe njengezwi phakathi kwabaFata BeSonto, kukhulunywa ngesikhathi…
… Lapho iNdodana yakhe izokuza izobhubhisa isikhathi se- ongenamthetho futhi ahlulele abangamhloniphi uNkulunkulu, futhi aguqule ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi — khona-ke uzophumula ngempela ngosuku lwesikhombisa… ngemuva kokunikeza ukuphumula kuzo zonke izinto, ngizokwenza ukuqala kosuku lwesishiyagalombili, okungukuthi, ukuqala kolunye usuku umhlaba. -Incwadi kaBarnaba (70-79 AD), eyabhalwa nguyise Weminyaka Eyesibili Yabaphostoli
Kodwa ngaphambi kosuku lwesishiyagalombili, uSt. Augustine uyabhala:
Sizokwazi ukuhumusha amagama athi, “Umpristi kaNkulunkulu nokaKristu uyakubusa naye iminyaka eyinkulungwane; Lapho sekuphele iminyaka eyinkulungwane, uSathane uyakhululwa etilongweni lakhe. ” ngoba ngale ndlela babonisa ukuthi ukubusa kwabangcwele kanye nokugqilazwa kukadeveli kuzophela ngasikhathi sinye ... ngakho ekugcineni bayophuma abangasibo abakaKristu, kodwa babe yilokho okokugcina Umphik'ukristu… —USt. Augustine, O-Anti-Nicene Fathers, Idolobha LikaNkulunkulu, Incwadi XX, Chap. 13, 19
Umphikukristu… Namuhla?
Lokhu kusho ukuthi impela kungenzeka ukuthi lowo “ongenamthetho” adalulwe yethu izikhathi, ngaphambi “kwenkathi yokuthula.” Sizokwazi ukusondela kwakhe ngezinto ezithile ezibalulekile:
A. Kumele kube khona ukuhlubuka.
...izwe kuyimpande yobubi futhi kungaholela ekubeni sishiye amasiko ethu futhi sixoxisane ngokuthembeka kwethu kuNkulunkulu othembekile njalo. Lokhu… kubizwa ngokuthi ukuhlubuka, oku… kuyindlela “yokuphinga” eyenzeka lapho sixoxisana ngomongo wobuntu bethu: ukwethembeka eNkosini. —UPAPA UFRANCIS ovela emndenini, iVatican Radio, ngoNovemba 18, 2013
OPapa babuke iSonto lincipha ngokuthembeka eNkosini manje isikhathi esingaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka. 
Ngubani ongehluleki ukubona ukuthi umphakathi usesikhathini samanje, ngaphezu kwanoma yisiphi isizukulwane esedlule, uhlushwa yisifo esibi futhi esinezimpande ezijulile, esithuthuka nsuku zonke futhi sidla okungaphakathi kwaso, siyidonsela ekubhujisweni? Niyaqonda, Bazalwane Ababonakala kahle, ukuthi lesi sifo siyini—ukuhlubuka okuvela kuNkulunkulu… Uma konke lokhu kubhekwa kunesizathu esizwakalayo sokwesaba hleze lokhu kuphazamiseka okukhulu kube sengathi kunambitheka, futhi mhlawumbe kungukuqala kwalobo bubi obugcinelwe izinsuku zokugcina; nokuthi kube khona vele emhlabeni "iNdodana Yokubhujiswa" lowo uMphostoli akhuluma ngayo. —I-POPE ST. I-PIUS X, E Supremi, I-Encyclical On the Return of All All Christ in Christ, n. 3, 5; Ngo-Okthoba 4, 1903
Ephawula ukuqala kokudelelwa kobuKristu emhlabeni wonke, uPapa Pius XI wabhala:
… Bonke abantu abangamaKristu, bedangele futhi bekhubazekile ngokudabukisayo, bahlala besengozini yokulahla ukholo, noma yokuhlukunyezwa ukufa okunesihluku kakhulu. Lezi zinto ngokweqiniso zidabukisa kangangokuba ungasho ukuthi izehlakalo ezinjalo zifanekisela futhi zibonise “ukuqala kosizi,” okusho ngalabo abazolethwa ngumuntu wesono, “ophakanyisiwe ngaphezu kwakho konke okubizwa ngokuthi UNkulunkulu noma uyakhonzwa ” (2 Thes. 2: 4). -I-Miserentissimus Redemptor, Incwadi Encyclical on Reparation to the Sacred Heart, n. 15, Meyi 8, 1928; www.v Vatican.va
Ngenkathi ngingabhekisa kubapapa abambalwa abakhuluma ngale ndlela efanayo yokungathembeki okukhulayo, ake ngiphinde ngicaphune uPaul VI:
Kukhona ukungakhululeki okukhulu ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni naseSontweni, futhi lokho okukhulunywa ngakho ukukholwa… Ngezinye izikhathi ngifunda isigaba seVangeli sezikhathi zokuphela futhi ngiyafakaza ukuthi, ngalesi sikhathi, ezinye izimpawu zalesi siphetho ziyavela. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Imfihlo Paul VI, UJean Guitton, k. 152-153, Reference (7), k. ix.
Ukuhlubuka, ukulahleka kokholo, kusakazeka emhlabeni wonke kuya emazingeni aphakeme kakhulu eSontweni. —Ikheli le-Anniversary of the Sixtieth Anniversary of the Fatima Apparitions, ngo-Okthoba 13, 1977
B. Ngaphambi kokuba isilo sifike, kumele kube khona ubufakazi “besibonakaliso esikhulu” “sowesifazane owembethe ilanga” kanye “nesibonakaliso” sikadrako esivela (bheka iSamb. 12: 1-4).
Ngiphathe le ndaba ngokuningiliziwe encwadini yami Ubuso bokugcina, futhi washicilela isigaba esikhuluma ngalo Mfazi nodrako lapha. [12]qhathanisa Owesifazane Nedrako Ubunikazi bowesifazane buchazwa nguBenedict XVI:
Lo wesifazane umele uMariya, uMama woMhlengi, kepha umele ngasikhathi sinye iBandla lonke, Abantu bakaNkulunkulu bazo zonke izikhathi, iBandla okuthi ngezikhathi zonke, libuhlungu kakhulu, liphinde lizale uKristu. —Castel Gondolfo, e-Italy, Agasti 23, 2006; I-Zenit
Ukuthi ungubani udrako nakho kuqondile. Ungu:
Udrako omkhulu, inyoka yasendulo, obizwa ngokuthi uDeveli noSathane, owakhohlisa umhlaba wonke. (IsAm 12: 9)
UJesu ubiza uSathane ngokuthi “umqambimanga” futhi “ungumbulali”. [13]isib. Johane 8:44 Udrako udonsela imiphefumulo emangeni akhe ukuze ayibhubhise.
Sitshelwa manje ukuthi udrako ukhohlisa “umhlaba wonke.” Kungaba okulungile ukusho ukuthi uhlelo lokukhohlisa umhlaba wonke lwaqala ngekhulu le-16 lapho kwenzeka izinto ezimbili: iNguquko YamaProthestani kanye Nokukhanyiselwa. [14]bheka Imfihlakalo iBabiloni Emiyalezweni evunyelwe ngokwesonto kaFr. UStefano Gobbi, incazelo enhle kakhulu yalolu “phawu” lwe 
udrako ovelayo, umoya womphik 'ukristu, inikiwe:
… Umphik'ukristu ubonakaliswa ngokuhlaselwa okunamandla kokholo ezwini likaNkulunkulu. Ngokusebenzisa izazi zefilosofi eziqala ukunikeza ukubaluleka okukhethekile kusayensi bese zicabanga, kukhona ukuthambekela kancane kancane kokwenza ubuhlakani bomuntu kuphela njengokuphela kweqiniso. Kuzalwa amaphutha amakhulu efilosofi aqhubeka phakathi kwamakhulu eminyaka kuye ezinsukwini zakho… neNguquko yamaProthestani, iSiko liyaliwa njengomthombo wesambulo saphezulu, futhi yiMibhalo Engcwele kuphela eyamukelwe. Kepha nalokhu kufanele kuhunyushwe ngesizathu, futhi iMagisterium eyiqiniso yeSonto lezinduna, lapho uKristu ephathise ukubhekwa kwediphozi yokholo, yenqatshwa ngenkani. -Umama wethu kusolwa uFr. UStefano Gobbi, Kubapristi, Abapristi Abathandekayo Benkosikazi Yethu, n. 407, "Inombolo Yesilo: 666", k. 612, uHlelo lwe-18; nge-Imprimatur
Vele, kuyo kanye le nkathi, zazikhona futhi zibalulekile izibuko zikaNkosikazi Wethu, "owesifazane ogqoke ilanga," ephikisana nala maphutha wefilosofi.
C. Kungenzeka umnotho womhlaba ofanayo
Njengoba uMphikukristu ebeka uhlelo olulodwa lomnotho olufanayo emhlabeni wonke, izimo zokuvela komnotho womhlaba jikelele ngokuqinisekile kungaba yisibonakaliso sohlobo oluthile. Kuyaphikiswa ukuthi lokhu bekungenzeki ngisho kuze kube yileli khulu leminyaka elidlule. UBenedict XVI ukhombe…
… Ukuqhuma kokuncika emhlabeni wonke, okwaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke. UPaul VI wayekade ekubonile ngaphambili, kepha ijubane elibi lapho liguquke khona belingalindelekile. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, AmaCaritas eVikisa,n. 33
Kepha ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke, kukodwa akukubi. Kunalokho, yizimbangela eziyimbangela yalokhu eziye zaphakamisa ama-alamu kapapa.
… Ngaphandle kokuqondiswa kwesisa senhliziyo ngeqiniso, lo mbuso womhlaba wonke ungadala umonakalo ongakaze ubonwe futhi udale ukwahlukana okusha emndenini wesintu. —Ibid. n. 33
Noma ngubani angabona ngokusobala ukuthi izizwe ziboshelwe ohlelweni lwamabhange lomhlaba wonke, oluxhunyaniswe nobuchwepheshe, obususa kancane imali enzima (ukheshi). Izinzuzo ziningi, kepha kunjalo nobungozi namandla okulawulwa okuphakathi. UPope Francis ubengagunci ngalezi zingozi ezikhulayo enkulumweni yakhe ayibhekise kwabaseYurophu 
Iphalamende.
Amandla weqiniso wentando yeningi lethu - aqondwa njengokuvezwa kwentando yabantu - akufanele avunyelwe ukuwa ngaphansi kwengcindezi yezintshisekelo zamazwe omhlaba ezingekho emhlabeni wonke, ezibenza buthakathaka futhi bazenze zibe yizinhlelo ezifanayo zamandla ezomnotho enkonzweni yemibuso engabonakali. —POPE FRANCIS, Ikheli eliya ePhalamende laseYurophu, eStrasbourg, eFrance, Novemba 25, 2014, Zenit
“Imibuso engabonakali…” Ngempela, isilo sokuqala esivela kuSambulo 13, esiphoqa umhlaba wonke ukuthi ube ngohlelo olulodwa, olufanayo lwezomnotho, yisilo semibuso, okungukuthi "eziyishumi":
Ngasengibona isilo siphuma olwandle silezimpondo ezilitshumi lamakhanda ayisikhombisa; ezimpondweni zalo kwakukhona imiqhele eyishumi, nasemakhanda aso kukhona amagama enhlamba. (IsAm 13: 1)
Ngakho-ke kuzalwa ubushiqela obusha, obungabonakali futhi obuvame ukubonakala, obubeka ngokungahambisani futhi ngokunganqeni ukubeka imithetho nezimiso zayo. Izikweletu nokuqongelelwa kwenzalo nakho kwenza kube nzima emazweni ukuthi abone amandla eminotho yawo futhi agcine izakhamizi zingathokozi ngamandla azo okuthenga… Kulolu hlelo, olujwayele shwabadela yonke into emi endleleni yenzuzo ekhuphukile, noma yini entekenteke, njengemvelo, ayikwazi ukuzivikela ngaphambi kwezintshisekelo ze- a senziwe emakethe, okuba ukuphela komthetho. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 56
Kuvela "esilweni", kulezi "zimpondo", lapho umphik'ukristu evuka…
Ngangicabanga izimpondo eziyishumi eyayinazo, lapho ngokuzumayo kwavela olunye, uphondo oluncane phakathi kwabo, kwathi ezintathu zezimpondo ezedlule zanqotshwa ukuze kuvuleke ithuba. Lolu phondo lwalunamehlo anjengamehlo omuntu, nomlomo owawukhuluma ngokuzikhukhumeza… Isilo sanikwa umlomo okhuluma ukuziqhayisa nokuhlambalaza. (Daniyeli 7: 8; IsAm 13: 5)
… Futhi ubeka “uphawu” kubo bonke abangenakuthenga ngaphandle kokuthengisa ngaphandle kwabo.
I-Apocalypse ikhuluma ngomphikisi kaNkulunkulu, isilo. Lesi silwane asinalo igama, kodwa inombolo. [Ekusabekeni kwamakamu okuhlushwa], bakhansela ubuso nomlando, baguqula umuntu abe yinombolo, bamehlisa waba yingcosana emshinini omkhulu. Umuntu akawona nje umsebenzi. Ezinsukwini zethu, akufanele sikhohlwe ukuthi bafanekisela ikusasa lomhlaba obeka engcupheni yokwamukela ukwakheka okufanayo kwamakamu okuhlushwa, uma umthetho womhlaba wonke womshini wamukelwa. Imishini eyakhiwe ibeka umthetho ofanayo. Ngokwalo mqondo, umuntu kufanele ahunyushwe ngu- a ikhompyutha futhi lokhu kungenzeka kuphela uma kuhunyushelwa ezinombolweni. Isilo siyinombolo futhi siguquka sibe ngamanani. Kodwa-ke, uNkulunkulu unegama futhi ubiza ngamagama. Ungumuntu futhi ubheka umuntu. —UKhadinali Ratzinger, (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI) uPalermo, Mashi 15, 2000 (omalukeke bangeziwe)
D. “Izinhlungu zokubeletha” zamaVangeli noMfu Ch. 6
UPaul, uSt. John, noKristu uqobo bakhuluma ngeziyaluyalu ezinkulu ezandulela futhi ezihambisana nokuza kukaMphikukristu: impi, ukuwa kwezomnotho, ukuzamazama komhlaba okusakazeke kabanzi, izinhlupho, indlala kanye nokushushiswa kulokho obekungabonakala kungumhlaba wonke. [15]qhathanisa Izimpawu Eziyisikhombisa Zenguquko
Impela lezo zinsuku bekungabonakala ngathi zifikile kithi uKristu Kristu iNkosi yethu abikezela ngazo: “Niyokuzwa ngezimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi, ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso.” (Math 24: 6-7). —UPOPE BENEDICT XV, I-Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum, Encyclical Letter, n. 3, Novemba 1, 1914; www.v Vatican.va
Ukuqubuka okujwayelekile kwe- ukungabi namthetho kuholela ekuqiniseni kwezinhliziyo lapho uJesu ekhomba, njengesinye isibonakaliso "sezikhathi zokuphela", ukuthi “Uthando lwabaningi luzophola.” [16]Mat 24:12; isib. 2 Thim 3: 1-5 OPapa baqonde 
lokhu akukhona nje kuphela ukulahlekelwa intshiseko yenkolo kodwa ukuyekethisa okuvamile ebubini uqobo.
Kodwa bonke lobu bubi njengoba babufinyelela umvuthwandaba ngobugwala nobuvila balabo abathi, ngendlela yabafundi abalele nababalekayo, bexegezela okholweni lwabo, bamshiya kabuhlungu uKristu… abalandela isibonelo sikakhapheli uJuda, noma badla itafula elingcwele ngokuxhamazela nangokuhlambalaza, noma uye ekamu lesitha. Futhi-ke, nangokuphikisana nentando yethu, umcabango uvuka emqondweni wokuthi manje lezo zinsuku ziyasondela iNkosi yethu eyaprofetha ngazo: “Futhi ngenxa yokuthi ububi buningi, uthando lwabaningi luzobanda” (Math. 24:12). —POPE PIUS XI, IMiserentissimus Redemptor, Encyclical on Reparation to the Sacred Heart,n. 17, www.v Vatican.va
… 'Ubuthongo' bungobethu, bethu abangafuni ukubona amandla aphelele wobubi futhi abangafuni ukungena ku-Passion yakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, iCatholic News Agency, iVictoria City, ngo-Ephreli 20, 2011, General Audience

Bafowethu nodadewethu, yize isikhathi sokuvela kwalowo “ongenamthetho” singasazi, ngizizwa ngiphoqelekile ukuqhubeka nokubhala ngezinye zezimpawu ezivelayo ezisheshayo zokuthi izikhathi zoMphikukristu zingahle zisondele, futhi maduzane kunokuba abaningi becabanga. Phakathi kwazo, ukuvela kobuSulumane obunolaka, ubuchwepheshe obuningi obushubile, isonto lamanga elikhulayo, nokuhlaselwa kwempilo nempilo yomuntu. Eqinisweni, uJohn Paul II wathi "lokhu kungqubuzana kokugcina" kuphezu kwethu:
Manje sesibhekene nengxabano yokugcina phakathi kweSonto nabamelene nesonto, phakathi kweVangeli nephikisayo, phakathi kukaKristu nomphikukristu. Lokhu kungqubuzana kuphakathi kwezinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu; kuyicala okumele iSonto lonke, ikakhulukazi iSonto LasePoland, liluthathe. Kuyisivivinyo sesizwe sethu kanye neBandla hhayi kuphela, kepha ngandlela-thile ukuvivinywa kweminyaka engu-2,000 XNUMX yamasiko nempucuko yobuKrestu, nayo yonke imiphumela yayo eqondene nesithunzi somuntu, amalungelo abantu, amalungelo abantu namalungelo ezizwe. —Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), e-Eucharistic Congress, ePhiladelphia, PA ngomgubho weminyaka emibili wokusayinwa kweSimemezelo Sokuzimela; ezinye izingcaphuno zalesi siqephu zifaka phakathi amagama athi "uKristu nomphikukristu" njengoba ngenhla.

kanye nemiyalezo yoMama Wethu, isinikeza okhiye bokuthi singazilungiselela kanjani futhi sinqobe ukukhohliswa koMphikukristu:
Babusisiwe abazonqoba lowo mcindezeli ngaleso sikhathi. Ngoba bazobekwa babe nodumo futhi babe ngaphezulu kunofakazi bokuqala; ngoba ofakazi bangaphambili banqobe amanxusa akhe kuphela, kepha laba bagumbuqela futhi banqoba ongabeka uqobo, i indodana yokubhujiswa. Ngakho-ke, ngemiqhele nobukhosi kangakanani, ngeke zihlotshiswe yiNkosi yethu, uJesu Kristu!… Uyabona ukuthi ukuzila ukudla futhi Umthandazo abangcwele bazozivocavoca ngaleso sikhathi. —St. I-Hippolytus, Ekupheleni Kwezwe,n. 30, 33, newadvent.org
ISonto manje selikumangalela phambi kukaNkulunkulu ophilayo; umemezela kini izinto eziphathelene noMphikukristu ngaphambi kokuba zifike. Ukuthi zizokwenzeka ngesikhathi sakho asazi, noma zizokwenzeka emva kwakho asazi; kodwa kuhle ukuthi, ukwazi lezi zinto, kufanele uzenze uvikeleke ngaphambili. —USt. UCyril waseJerusalema (c. 315-386) Udokotela weSonto, Izinkulumo zeCatechetical, Isifundo XV, n. 9
