LAPHO kuxoxwa kakhulu namuhla ngokuthi lesi noma leso siprofetho sizogcwaliseka nini, ikakhulukazi eminyakeni embalwa ezayo. Kepha ngivame ukuzindla ngeqiniso lokuthi namhlanje kusihlwa kungaba wubusuku bami bokugcina emhlabeni, ngakho-ke kimi, ngithola umjaho wokuthi "ngazi usuku" ungaphezu kwamandla. Ngivame ukumamatheka uma ngicabanga leyo ndaba kaSt. Francis okwathi, ngenkathi esebenza engadini, wabuzwa: "Ungenzenjani uma wazi ukuthi umhlaba uzophela namuhla?" Uphendule wathi, “Ngicabanga ukuthi ngizoqeda ukulima lo mugqa wobhontshisi.” Nakhu kukhona ukuhlakanipha kukaFrancis: isibopho somzuzwana intando kaNkulunkulu. Futhi intando kaNkulunkulu iyimfihlakalo, ikakhulukazi uma kukhulunywa ngayo isikhathi.

UJona waqala uhambo lwakhe phakathi kwedolobha… ememezela, “Kusezakuba yizinsuku ezingamashumi amane, bese iNineve lichithwa”… Lapho uNkulunkulu ebona ngezenzo zabo ukuthi baphenduka kanjani endleleni yabo embi, wazisola ngobubi ayesongele ukubenza kubo; akakwenzanga.

Namuhla, singofakazi bobubi obuyihlazo kakhulu—ukonakala okwanda ngeviki. Futhi ngakho akumangalisi ukuzwa wonke umuntu kusukela kubantu abaphansi kuya kopapa bexwayisa ngokwesiprofetho ngezingozi eziseduze zalesisizukulwane.

Kodwa-ke, kukhona isiprofetho eBandleni esiqhamukayo engicabanga ukuthi bambalwa abasibona “njengesiphrofetho” ngenxa yaso kanye isizathu sokuthi akwethusi njengamagama okusolwa ngokuphahlazeka kwamabhange noma impi yomhlaba. Futhi yilokhu: lokho UNkulunkulu ulungiselela umzuzu wokuvangela emhlabeni ongafani nanoma yini esake sayibona. Njengoba uJesu esho eVangelini lanamuhla:

... ngokushumayela kukaJona baphenduka, futhi kukhona lapha okukhulu kunoJona.

Angisikiseli ukuthi izixwayiso azibalulekile. Cha, bakhona kubalulekile ekuvuseni umzimba kaKristu. Kodwa kukhona okukhulu lapha, futhi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulungiselela isivuno esikhulu. “Yithuba lokugcina,” ongathi, ngaphambi kokuba uNkulunkulu ahlanze umhlaba. Okwe…

... inhliziyo edabukileyo nethobekileyo, O Nkulunkulu, awuyikuyidelela. (Ihubo Lanamuhla)

I-Apostolic Exhortation kaPapa uFrancis yangonyaka odlule iphakathi nendawo yalesi siprofetho esingokwesiprofetho, ^[1]qhathanisa Evangelii Gaudium, (Injabulo Yevangeli) “Ekumenyezweni Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla” eqhubeka nombono kaJohn Paul II “wevangeli elisha” lamanje nelizayo. UFrancis uyaqaphela ukuthi siphakathi 'koshintsho lwesikhathi eside', ^[2]Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 52 kodwa igama eliwumgogodla yilelo lokubuyela enhliziyweni yomsebenzi weBandla, okuwubuvangeli—ngakho-ke, isizathu semibhalo yami ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule ngigxile kakhulu ekubeni ngofakazi beqiniso: amadoda nabesifazane abangcwele. Ngoba lapho kuba mnyama, amaKristu eqiniso akhanya ngokwengeziwe ayomelana nesizinda sobubi. Leyo yinto ebaluleke kakhulu okufanele siyiqonde namuhla—hhayi usuku lwalesi noma leso senzakalo. 

Mayelana nalokhu, uBenedict XVI usethe ithoni efanele:

... kufanele kukhunjulwe ukuthi isiprofetho ngomqondo weBhayibheli asisho ukubikezela ikusasa kodwa ukuchaza intando kaNkulunkulu yamanje, ngakho-ke sibonise indlela efanele yesikhathi esizayo.. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Umyalezo kaFatima, I-Theological Commentary, www.vatican.va

Lapho uNkulunkulu ebona ngezenzo zabo ukuthi baphenduka kanjani endleleni yabo embi, wazisola ngobubi ayesongela ukubenza kubo; akakwenzanga. (Ukufunda kokuqala)
