Kuzodlula iminyaka eyisikhombisa, uze wazi ukuthi oPhezukonke ubusa umbuso wabantu, uwunika lowo athanda ukumnika. (Dan 4:22)
Ngesikhathi seMisa ngaleli Sonto elidlule lePassion, ngizwe ukuthi iNkosi inginxusa ukuba ngithumele kabusha ingxenye ethile ye- Isivivinyo Seminyaka Eyisikhombisa lapho kuqala khona ngePassion of the Church. Futhi, lokhu kuzindla kuyizithelo zomkhuleko emzamweni wami wokuqonda kangcono imfundiso yeSonto yokuthi uMzimba kaKristu uzolandela iNhloko yawo ngothando lwawo noma "isilingo sokugcina," njengoba ikhathekizimu lisho. (CCC, 677). Njengoba incwadi yeSambulo ikhuluma ngokuyingxenye yalesi silingo sokugcina, ngihlolisise lapha ukuhumusha okungenzeka kwe-Apocalypse yaseSt. Umfundi kufanele akhumbule ukuthi lokhu kungukubonakaliswa kwami uqobo hhayi ukuhumusha okucacile kweSambulo, okuyincwadi enezincazelo nobukhulu obuhlukahlukene, hhayi okuncane kakhulu, okuyi-eschatological. Imiphefumulo eminingi emihle iwele emaweni acijile e-Apocalypse. Yize kunjalo, ngizwe iNkosi ingiphoqa ukuba ngihambe ngokholo kulolu chungechunge, ngihlanganisa imfundiso yeSonto ngesambulo esingaqondakali nezwi eligunyazayo loFata oNgcwele. Ngikhuthaza umfundi ukuthi asebenzise ukuqonda kwakhe, akhanyiselwe futhi aqondiswe yiMagisterium.
Lolu chungechunge lususelwa encwadini yesiprofetho sikaDaniel ukuthi kuzoba "nesonto" lokuzama isikhathi eside kubantu bakaNkulunkulu. Incwadi yeSambulo ibonakala inanela lokhu lapho umphik'ukristu evela khona "iminyaka emithathu nohhafu." Isambulo sigcwele izinombolo nezimpawu okuvame ukuthi kube okungokomfanekiso. Isikhombisa singakhombisa ukuphelela, kanti ezintathu nohhafu zikhombisa ukushoda kokuphelela. Iphinde ifanekisele isikhathi "esifushane". Ngakho-ke, lapho ufunda lolu chungechunge, khumbula ukuthi izinombolo nezibalo ezisetshenziswe nguSt.
Esikhundleni sokuthumela i-imeyili kuwe lapho kuthunyelwa izingxenye ezisele zalolu chungechunge, ngizovele ngithumele kabusha izingxenye ezisele, eyodwa ngosuku, kulo lonke leli sonto. Mane ubuyele kule webhusayithi nsuku zonke kuleli sonto, futhi ubuke futhi uthandaze nami. Kubukeka kufanelekile ukuthi singazindli nje kuphela ngeNtshisakalo yeNkosi Yethu, kodwa nangeNtshiseko ezayo yomzimba Wayo, ebonakala isondela futhi isondela kakhulu…
LOKHU ukubhala kuhlola yonke ingxenye yokuqala ye- Isivivinyo Seminyaka Eyisikhombisa, eqala ngesikhathi esiseduze sokukhanyisa.
UKULANDELA INKOSI YETHU
Nkosi Jesu, ubikezele ukuthi sizobamba iqhaza ekushushisweni okukulethele ekufeni okunobudlova. ISonto elakhiwa ngentengo yegazi lakho eliyigugu manje selifana nePastor yakho; sengathi angaguqulwa, manje nangonaphakade, ngamandla ovuko lwakho. —Umthandazo weHubo, Imfundo yamahora, I-Vol III, k. 1213
Silandele uJesu kusuka ekuguqulweni isimo waya edolobheni laseJerusalema lapho ekugcineni ezogwetshwa khona ukufa. Ngokuqhathanisa, lesi yisikhathi esiphila kuso manje, lapho imiphefumulo eminingi ivukela enkazimulweni ezofika ngeNkathi Yokuthula, kodwa futhi nakuPhupho olwandulelayo.
Ukufika kukaKristu eJerusalema kufana nokuvuka “kwendawo yonke”, i- Ukuzamazama Okukhulu, lapho usebenzisa i- Ukukhanyiswa kukanembeza, bonke bazokwazi ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Ngemuva kwalokho kumele bakhethe ukuthi bamkhonze noma bambethele esiphambanweni — okusho ukuthi, ukumlandela eSontweni Lakhe, noma ukumala.
UKUHLANZWA KWEThempeli
Emva kokungena kukaJesu eJerusalema, Wahlanza ithempeli.
Imizimba yethu ngayinye "ithempeli likaMoya oNgcwele" (1 Cor 6: 19). Lapho ukukhanya koMkhanyiso kungena emiphefumulweni yethu, kuzoqala ukusabalalisa ubumnyama — a ukuhlanzwa kwezinhliziyo zethu. ISonto futhi liyithempeli elenziwe “ngamatshe aphilayo,” okungukuthi, umKristu ngamunye obhabhadisiwe (1 Pet 2: 5) owakhiwe phezu kwesisekelo sabaPhostoli nabaprofethi. Leli thempeli elihlangene lizohlanzwa nguJesu futhi:
Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqale kwabendlu kaNkulunkulu.
Ngemuva kokuhlanza ithempeli, uJesu washumayela ngesibindi kangangokuba abantu “bamangala” futhi “bamangala ngokufundisa kwakhe.” Kanjalo nensali, eholwa nguBaba Ongcwele, izodonsela imiphefumulo eminingi kuKristu ngamandla nangegunya lokushumayela kwabo, okuzonikwa amandla ngokuthululwa kukaMoya ngokuKhanya. Kuzoba isikhathi sokuphulukiswa, ukukhululwa, kanye nokuphenduka. Kepha akuwona wonke umuntu ozokhangwa.
Kwakuneziphathimandla eziningi ezinhliziyo zazo zazilukhuni futhi zenqaba ukwamukela imfundiso kaJesu. Wabalahla laba babhali nabaFarisi, ebadalula ngamanga ababekhona. Kanjalo nabathembekile bazocelwa ukuthi badalule amanga abaprofethi bamanga, abangaphakathi nangaphandle kweSonto — abaprofethi beNew Age nabomesiya bamanga — futhi babaxwayise ngoSuku Lobulungisa oluzayo uma bengaphenduki phakathi nalokhu “kuthula ”SoPhawu lwesiKhombisa:
Silence phambi kweNkosi uJehova! ngoba luseduze usuku lukaJEHOVA… luseduze futhi luyeza masinyane… usuku lokukhala kwamacilongo… (Zef 1: 7, 14-16)
Kungenzeka ukuthi ngesitatimende esiqondile, isenzo, noma impendulo kaBaba oNgcwele, kuzodwetshwa umugqa ocacile esihlabathini, bese kuthi labo abangafuni ukuma noKristu neBandla lakhe baxoshwe ngokuzenzekelayo — bahlanzwe eNdlini.
Ngaba nomunye umbono wosizi olukhulu… Kubonakala kimi ukuthi kwakufunwa imvume kubefundisi ababengeke bayinikwe. Ngabona abapristi abaningi asebekhulile, ikakhulukazi oyedwa, ababekhala kamunyu. Abambalwa abasebasha nabo babekhala… Kwakungathi abantu bahlukana ngamakamu amabili. —Ubusisiwe u-Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824); Impilo Nezambulo zika-Anne Catherine Emmerich; Ngisusa kusuka ngo-Ephreli 12, 1820.
Emifanekisweni yobuJuda, “izinkanyezi” zazivame ukubonisa amandla ezombusazwe noma ezenkolo. Ukuhlanzwa Kwethempeli kubonakala ngathi kwenzeka ngesikhathi uMfazi ebeletha imiphefumulo emisha ngomusa we-post-Illumination nokushunyayelwa kwevangeli:
Wayekhulelwe futhi ekhala kakhulu ngezinhlungu njengoba ayesebenza kanzima ebeletha. Kwabe sekuvela esinye isibonakaliso esibhakabhakeni; kwakungudrako omkhulu obomvu… umsila waso wakhukhula ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi esibhakabhakeni waziphonsa emhlabeni. (IsAm 12: 2-4)
Lokhu "okwesithathu kwezinkanyezi" kuye kwahunyushwa njengengxenye yesithathu yabefundisi noma isigaba sabaphathi. Yilokhu Kuhlanzwa Kwethempeli okuphetha ngokuthi Ukukhipha amadlozi kweSilo okuvela ezulwini (IsAm 12: 7).
Izulu liyibandla okuthi ngobusuku balempilo yamanje, ngenkathi lona ngokwalo linezimfanelo ezingenakubalwa zabangcwele, likhanye njengezinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo zasezulwini; kepha umsila kadrako ushanela izinkanyezi ziye emhlabeni… Izinkanyezi eziwa ezulwini yilabo asebelahle ithemba ezintweni zasezulwini futhi bahahela, ngaphansi kokuholwa uSathane, umkhakha wenkazimulo yasemhlabeni. —USt. UGregory Omkhulu, I-Moralia, 32, 13
ISIHLAHLA SOMFIHLO
EmBhalweni, umkhiwane uwuphawu luka-Israyeli (noma ngokomfanekiso iSonto LamaKristu okuyi-Israyeli entsha.) KwiVangeli likaMathewu, ngemuva nje kokuhlanza ithempeli, uJesu waqalekisa umkhiwane owawunamaqabunga kodwa ungenazithelo:
Kwangathi kungabe kusaba khona sithelo esivela kuwe futhi. (Math 21:19)
Ngalokho, isihlahla saqala ukubuna.
UBaba wami… ususa lonke igatsha elikimi elingatheli izithelo. Uma umuntu engahlali kimi, uphonswa ngaphandle njengegatsha, abune; amagatsha abuthwa, aphonswe emlilweni, ashe. (Johane 15: 1-2, 6)
Ukuhlanzwa kwethempeli kungukususwa kwawo wonke amagatsha angatheli izithelo, angaphenduki, akhohlisayo, nalawo ayekethisayo eSontweni (cf IsAm 3:16). Bazohlungwa, basuswe, babalwe njengomunye weSilo. Bayokuwa ngaphansi kwesiqalekiso esingebabo bonke labo abenqabile iQiniso:
Okholwa eNdodaneni unokuphila okuphakade; kepha ongayilaleli iNdodana ngeke akubone ukuphila, kepha ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lumi phezu kwakhe. (Johane 3:36)
Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu ubathumela amandla akhohlisayo ukuze bakholwe ngamanga, ukuze bonke abangakholwanga eqinisweni kepha bavume ukwenza okubi bagwetshwe. (2 Thes. 2: 11-12)
ISIKHATHI SOKULINGANISA
USt. John ukhuluma ngqo ngalokhu kuhlungwa kokhula kukolweni, okubonakala kwenzeka ikakhulukazi engxenyeni yokuqala yokuQulwa Kweminyaka Eyisikhombisa. Kubuye futhi Isikhathi Sokulinganisa, Kulandelwe inkathi yokugcina lapho Umphik'ukristu ezobusa izinyanga ezingama-42.
Ngabe senginikezwa induku yokulinganisa njengodondolo, futhi ngatshelwa: “Sukuma ulinganise ithempeli likaNkulunkulu ne-altare nalabo abakhonza kulo; kepha ungalinganisi igceke elingaphandle kwethempeli; kushiye lokho, ngoba kunikelwe kwabezizwe, futhi bazowunyathela phansi umuzi ongcwele izinyanga ezingamashumi amane nambili. (IsAm 11: 1-2)
INgcwele uJohane ayibizelwa ukukala, hhayi isakhiwo, kodwa imiphefumulo — labo abakhonza ealtare likaNkulunkulu “ngomoya nangeqiniso,” beshiya eceleni labo abangakhulekeli— “igceke elingaphandle.” Lokhu sikubona ngokunembile okukhulunywa ngakho kwenye indawo lapho izingelosi ziqeda ukubeka uphawu “emabunzini ezinceku zikaNkulunkulu” ngaphambi kokuba ukwahlulela kuqale ukuwa:
Ngezwa inani lalabo ababekwa uphawu, abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane ababekwe uphawu kuzo zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli. (IsAm 7: 4)
Futhi, “u-Israyeli” uwuphawu lweBandla. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi uSt. John usishiya ngaphandle isizwe sakwaDani, mhlawumbe ngoba yawela ekukhonzeni izithombe (AbaHluleli 17-18). Kulabo abenqaba uJesu kulesi Sikhathi Somusa, futhi esikhundleni salokho bathembele kuNew World Order nasekukhonzeni izithombe kobuqaba, bazolahlekelwa uphawu lukaKristu. Bazogxivizwa ngegama noma uphawu lwesilo "ezandleni zabo zokunene noma emabunzini abo" (IsAm 13: 16).
Kulandela-ke ukuthi inombolo ethi “144, 000” ingahle ibhekise “kwinani eliphelele labeZizwe” ngoba ukulinganisa kufanele kucace:
ukuqina kufikile ku-Israyeli ngokwengxenye, kwaze kwaba inombolo ephelele AbeZizwe bayangena, ngalokho u-Israyeli wonke uzosindiswa… (KwabaseRoma 11: 25-26)
UKUVALWA KOKUVALWA KWAMAJUDA
Lokhu kulinganiswa nokumakwa kungenzeka kufaka nabantu abangamaJuda futhi. Isizathu ukuthi bangabantu asebengabakaNkulunkulu vele, abamiselwe ukuthola isithembiso saKhe 'sesikhathi sokuqabuleka.' Enkulumweni yakhe kumaJuda, uSt. Peter uthi:
Phenduka, ngakho-ke, uphenduke, ukuze izono zakho zisulwe, nokuthi iNkosi ikunikeze izikhathi zokuqabuleka futhi ikuthumele uMesiya osevele emiselwe wena, uJesu, okumele izulu limamukele kuze kufike izikhathi ukubuyiselwa kwendawo yonke –- uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngawo ngomlomo wabaprofethi bakhe abangcwele kusukela endulo. (IzEnzo 3: 1-21)
Ngesikhathi sokuQulwa Kweminyaka Eyisikhombisa, uNkulunkulu uzogcina insali yabantu abangamaJuda emiselwe "ukubuyiselwa komhlaba wonke" okuqala, ngokusho koFata beSonto, I-Era Yokuthula:
Ngizishiyele amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa angazange aguqe kuBali. Kanjalo futhi esikhathini samanje kukhona insali, ekhethwe ngomusa. (Rom 11: 4-5)
Ngemuva kokubona i-144, 000, iSt. John inombono wesixuku esikhulu kakhulu ayikwazanga ukubalwa (cf IsAm. 7:9). Kungumbono weZulu, nabo bonke labo abaphenduka bakholwa yiVangeli, amaJuda kanye nabeZizwe. Iphuzu elisemqoka lapha ukubona ukuthi uNkulunkulu umaka imiphefumulo manje futhi isikhashana ngemuva kokuKhanya. Labo abanomuzwa wokuthi bangashiya izibani zabo engcupheni engenalutho yokulahlekelwa izihlalo zabo etafuleni lesidlo.
Kepha abantu abakhohlisayo nabazenzisi bayoqhubeka besuka kokubi baye kokubi kakhulu, bakhohlisi futhi bakhohliswe. (2 Thimothewu 3:13)
EYOKUQALA engu-1260 IZINSUKU
Ngikholwa ukuthi iSonto lizokwamukelwa futhi lishushiswe engxenyeni yokuqala yokuQulwa kwecala, yize ushushiso lungeke lube yigazi kuze kube uMphikukristu eqala ukubusa. Abaningi bazothukuthela bazonde iSonto ngokuma liqine eQinisweni, kanti abanye bazolithanda ngokumemezela iQiniso elibakhululayo:
Yize babezama ukumbamba, babezesaba izixuku, ngoba zazimbheka njengomprofethi. (Math 21:46)
Njengoba nje babonakala bengambophi, kanjalo neBandla ngeke linqotshwe iSilo phakathi nezinsuku zokuqala eziyi-1260 zoKwaqulwa Kweminyaka Eyisikhombisa.
Lapho udrako ebona ukuthi uphonswe phansi emhlabeni, wamjaha owesifazane owayebelethe umntwana wesilisa. Kepha owesifazane wanikezwa amaphiko amabili okhozi olukhulu, ukuze akwazi ukundiza aye e-pl ace yakhe ehlane, lapho, kude nenyoka, anakekelwa khona unyaka, iminyaka emibili, nengxenye yonyaka . (IsAm 12: 13-14)
Kepha ukuhlubuka Okukhulu sekuqhakaze ngokuphelele futhi imigqa idwetshiwe ngokusobala phakathi komyalo kaNkulunkulu neNew World Order eyaqala ngesivumelwano sokuthula noma "isivumelwano esinamandla" namakhosi ayishumi kaDaniel iSambulo nawo asibiza "ngesilo", indlela zilungiselele “umuntu ongenamthetho.”
Manje maqondana nokuza kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu nokuhlangana kwethu ukuhlangana nayo… Makungabikho muntu onikhohlisa nganoma iyiphi indlela; ngoba lolo suku ngeke lufike ngaphandle kokuba kufike ukuhlubuka kuqala, kwembulwe umuntu ongenamthetho, indodana yokubhubha… (2 Thes. 2: 1-3)
Kungaleso sikhathi lapho iDragoni inika igunya laso Isilo, Umphik'ukristu.
Udrako walinika amandla alo nesihlalo sobukhosi, kanye negunya elikhulu. (IsAm. 13: 2)
Isilo esikhuphukayo siyisibonelo sobubi namanga, ukuze amandla agcweleyo okuhlubuka akumbathisa aphonswe esithandweni somlilo. -USt. Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140-202 AD); Ama-Adersus Haereses, 5, 29
Uma konke lokhu kubhekwa kunesizathu esihle sokwesaba… ukuze kube khona emhlabeni “iNdodana yokulahlwa” lowo uMphostoli akhuluma ngaye. —UPAPA ST. I-PIUS X, Encylical, E Supremi, n. 5
Kuzoqala kanjalo-ke ukubhekana kokugcina kweSonto kule nkathi, nengxenye yokugcina yokuThethwa Kweminyaka Eyisikhombisa.
Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoJuni 19th, 2008.
