ST. UBasil wabhala ukuthi,

Phakathi kwezingelosi, abanye babekwa ukuthi baphathe izizwe, abanye bangabangani babathembekile… -I-Adversus Eunomium, 3: 1; Izingelosi Nemishini Yazo, UJean Daniélou, SJ, k. 68

Sibona umgomo wezingelosi phezu kwezizwe eNcwadini kaDaniel lapho kukhulunywa khona "ngenkosana yasePheresiya", ingelosi enkulu uMikayeli eza nayo empini. [1]isib. Dan 10:20 Kulokhu, isikhulu sasePheresiya sibonakala siyinqaba yobusathane yengelosi ewile.

Ingelosi egadayo yeNkosi "ivikela umphefumulo njengebutho," kusho uSt. Gregory waseNyssa, "inqobo nje uma singamxoshi ngesono." [2]Izingelosi Nemishini Yazo, UJean Daniélou, SJ, k. 69 Lokho wukuthi, isono esibi, ukukhonza izithombe, noma ukuzibandakanya ngamabomu kwemilingo kungashiya umuntu esengozini yobudemoni. Kungenzeka yini-ke ukuthi, ukuthi yini eyenzeka kumuntu ozivulela imimoya emibi, nayo ingenzeka kuzwelonke? Ukufundwa kweMisa kwanamuhla kuhlinzeka eminye imininingwane.

THE amagagasi okudideka, inhlekelele, nokungaqiniseki kugadla eminyango yazo zonke izizwe emhlabeni. Njengoba amanani okudla nophethiloli enyuka futhi umnotho womhlaba ucwila njengehange lolwandle, kukhulunywa kakhulu ngawo zokukhosela—Izindawo zokuphephela ukuze uvikele iSiphepho esisondelayo. Kodwa kunengozi ebhekene namanye amaKristu namuhla, futhi lokho kuwukungena emoyeni wokuzivikela oba mkhulu kakhulu. Amawebhusayithi e-Survivalist, izikhangiso zamakhithi ezimo eziphuthumayo, ama-generator kagesi, abapheki bokudla, neminikelo yegolide neyesiliva… ukwesaba ne-paranoia namuhla kuyabonakala njengamakhowe okungavikeleki. Kepha uNkulunkulu ubizela abantu baKhe kumoya ohlukile kunowo wezwe. Umoya we-absolute ukwethemba.

EZINE eminyakeni eyedlule, ngezwa igama eliqinile emthandazweni ebelikhula muva nje ngamandla. Futhi-ke, ngidinga ukukhuluma ngokusuka enhliziyweni amagama engiwaphindayo ngiwezwa:

Phuma eBhabhiloni!

IBhabhiloni lifanekisela a isiko lesono nokuzitika. UKristu ubiza abantu baKhe BAPHUMA kulo “muzi”, baphume ejokeni lomoya wakulesi sikhathi, baphume ekuwohlokeni, ekuthandeni izinto ezibonakalayo, nasekuthandeni inkanuko yobudlova okuxhume imisele yalo, futhi okuchichima ezinhliziyweni nasemakhaya abantu baKhe.

Ngabe sengizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini lithi: “Sukani kuye, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zalo futhi ningahlanganyeli ezinhluphekweni zalo, ngoba izono zalo zanqwabelana zaze zafika esibhakabhakeni… (Isambulo 18: 4-) 5)

Igama elithi “her” kulo mBhalo lithi “iBhabhiloni,” uPapa Benedict asanda kulitolika ngokuthi…

… Uphawu lwamadolobha amakhulu emhlabeni angenankolo… —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kumkhosi WaseRoma, ngoDisemba 20, 2010

KusAmbulo, iBhabhiloni iwa ngokuzumayo:

Liwile, liwile iBabiloni elikhulu. Usephenduke indawo yokuhlala yamademoni. Uyizidleke zawo wonke umoya ongcolile, isibaya sazo zonke izinyoni ezingcolile, isibaya saso sonke isilwane esingcolile nesenyanyekayo…Maye, maye, muzi omkhulu, iBabiloni, idolobha elinamandla. Ngehora elilodwa ukwahlulela kwakho sekufikile. (IsAm. 18: 2, 10)

Futhi-ke isixwayiso: 

Phuma eBhabhiloni!
