Ngiyabona ukuthi kufanele sikuqonde ukwambulwa okuyimfihlo nokubheka emuva kuyinto enhle, kepha ngiyazi ukuthi abantu baya “jabula” ngokwenzeka emhlabeni maqondana ne-eschatology. Ngikubuza konke njengoba imilayezo ibikhuluma izinto ezifanayo iminyaka eminingi. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi sisaqhubeka nokuzwa le milayezo esikhathini seminyaka engama-50 bese silindile? Abafundi babecabanga ukuthi uKristu wayezobuya kungekudala emva kokuba enyukele ezulwini… Sisalindile.
