Abaporofethi Bamanga Bamanga

 

Ukwenqena okusakazekile kwabacabangi abaningi bamaKatolika
ukungena ekuhlolweni okujulile kwezinto ezibucayi zempilo yanamuhla,
Ngiyakholelwa, ingxenye yenkinga abafuna ukuyigwema.
Uma ukucabanga kwe-apocalyptic kushiywe ikakhulu kulabo ababekwe phansi
noma ngubani oye waba yisisulu se-vertigo yokwesaba okukhulu komhlaba,
ke umphakathi wamaKristu, impela wonke umphakathi wesintu,
udla imbuya ngothi.
Futhi lokho kungalinganiswa ngemiphefumulo yabantu elahlekile.
-Author, Michael D. O'Brien, Ingabe Siphila Ezikhathini Ze-Apocalyptic?

 

NGIPhendukile kukhompyutha yami nakuyo yonke into engangicindezela ukuthula kwami. Ngichithe isikhathi esiningi seviki eledlule ngintanta echibini, izindlebe zami zicwile ngaphansi kwamanzi, ngigqolozele phezulu okungenamkhawulo ngamafu ambalwa nje adlulayo abheka emuva ngobuso babo obonakele. Lapho, kulawo manzi acwebile aseCanada, ngalalela ukuThula. Ngizamile ukungacabangi lutho ngaphandle komzuzu wamanje nokuthi yini uNkulunkulu ayeyibaza emazulwini, imiyalezo yakhe emincane yothando kithi e-Creation. Futhi ngaMthanda futhi.

Kwakungeyona into ejulile… kepha ikhefu elibalulekile enkonzweni yami elaphindeka kathathu ekufundeni ubusuku obubodwa ngemuva kokuvalwa kwamasonto kulobu busika obudlule. I-Lockdown yempucuko yeza “njengesela ebusuku,” futhi izigidi zabantu ziye zavuka ukuze zizwe okuthile okungahambanga kahle kwenzeka manje ... futhi zifuna izimpendulo. Kube khona ukwehla komhlaba ngokoqobo kuma-imeyili, imiyalezo, izingcingo, imibhalo, njll., Futhi okokuqala, angisakwazi ukuqhubeka. Ngiyakhumbula eminyakeni eyedlule, uStan Rutherford ongasekho, oyimfihlakalo yamaKatolika waseFlorida, wangibuka ngqo emehlweni wathi, “Ngelinye ilanga, abantu bazosakazela kuwe futhi ngeke ukwazi ukuhambisana.”Yebo, ngenza engikwaziyo futhi ngiyaxolisa ngokujulile kunoma ngubani imiyalezo yakhe engingazange ngiyiphendule. 

 

IZIMANGALO ZABAKHATHOLIKA ABAKHUBAZAYO

Lapho ngibuya ekubalekeni kwami, ngezwa ngokunye ukudilika kwenhlabathi — okungangimangazi nokho, kuyaqhubeka ukudideka. Yilabo okuthi, naphezu kokucacile “Izibonakaliso zezikhathi”, ngaphandle kwe- amagama angenakuphikwa opapa, futhi yize imiyalezo yeNkosi yethu noMama wethu lokho okwakha “ukuvumelana okungokwesiprofetho” okuvela emhlabeni wonke… basafuna amatshe okukhanda abaprofethi ngamatshe. Ungangizwa kabi—ukuqonda yesiprofetho ibucayi (1 Thes 5: 20-21). Kepha ukuvela okungazelelwe kwemibhalo ku AmaKatolika umkhakha olangazelela ukukhipha ukulahlwa kulabo abangahambisani nomthethosivivinywa wabo wokuthi imboni kufanele ibe yini… noma labo abangaba nesibindi sokusho amagama athi “izikhathi zokugcina”… noma labo abazokhuluma ngezehlakalo ezizayo ezingakhombisi okuhle uhlelo oluhle lokuthatha umhlalaphansi… empeleni luyadumaza. Ngesikhathi lapho amasonto enqatshelwe noma evaliwe, lapho amanye ehlaselwa futhi ashiswa, lapho ukushushiswa kwamaKristu eNtshonalanga Ntshonalanga sekusondele kakhulu ukuba kuqhume kithi… AmaKhatholika ayakloloda? Ngokungazelelwe, amazwi kaJesu acishe afane nezikhathi zethu:

Ngalezo zinsuku ezandulela uzamcolo, babedla, bephuza, beshada, bendisa, kwaze kwaba sosukwini uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini. Abazanga kwaze kwafika uzamcolo wabakhukhula bonke. Kuyakuba njalo ekufikeni kweNdodana yomuntu. (Math 24: 38-39)

Ngamanye amagama, abanye abantu bahlala benqaba ngokuphelele. Bafuna induduzo esikhundleni sokuguqulwa. Bahlala bethola izaba zokuphakamisa ukuthi izinto azibi kubi njengoba zinjalo empeleni. Babona kuphela ingilazi njengengxenye egcwele uma ingenalutho. Abanye empeleni bahlekisa ngoNowa wesikhathi sethu.

Esikhathini sokugcina kuzoba khona abahleki bosulu, belandela izinkanuko zabo zokungamhloniphi uNkulunkulu. Yilaba abamisa ukwahlukana, abantu basemhlabeni, abangenawo uMoya. (Jude 1:18)

Eminyakeni eyishumi nanhlanu eyedlule, ngagcina sengithi “yebo” kwikhwelo likaSt. John Paul II kithina sentsha ngoSuku Lwentsha Lomhlaba:

Basha abathandekayo, kukithi ukuba abe abalindi wasekuseni omemezela ukuza kwelanga ngubani onguKristu Ovukile! —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Umyalezo kaBaba Ongcwele kuNtsha Yomhlaba, I-XVII Usuku lwentsha lwezwe, n. 3; (cf.Is. 21: 11-12)

O, muhle kanjani—UJesu uyeza. Kodwa ingabe amaKatolika akholelwa ngokujulile ukuthi Uyeza ngaphandle kwakho konke okunye obekuzokwandulela njengoba kubekiwe kuMathewu 24, Marku 13, uLuka 21, 2 Thes 2, njll. Futhi uma sithi “Uyeza”, sisuke sibhekise ku-a inqubo ebizwa ngokuthi “izikhathi zokugcina” ezifinyelela emvuthwandaba ngokugcwaliseka kwamazwi “kaBaba Wethu” ngaphambi kokuphela komhlaba — lapho uMbuso Wakhe uzofika khona kanye kuyokwenziwa emhlabeni njengaseZulwini-Njengokugcwaliseka kwemiBhalo nokulungiswa kokugcina kweSonto.

… Umbuso kaNkulunkulu usho u-Kristu uqobo, esimfisela ukufika nsuku zonke, futhi ekufikeni kwakhe sifisa ukubonakaliswa ngokushesha kithi. Ngoba njengoba kungukuvuka kwethu, lokhu kuye kuvuka kuye, ukuze naye aqondwe njengombuso kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba siyakubusa kuye. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika (CCC), n. 2816

Yingakho siqambe iwebhusayithi yethu entsha ukuthi “Ukwehlela eMbusweni”Esikhundleni se-" Countdown to Doom and Gloom ": sisondela ekunqobeni, hhayi ukwehlulwa. Kepha imfundiso yeMagisterium icacile:

Ngaphambi kokuza kwesibili kukaKristu iBandla kumele lidlule esivivinyweni sokugcina esizonyakazisa ukholo lwamakholwa amaningi... ISonto lizongena enkazimulweni yombuso kuphela ngaleli Phasika lokugcina, lapho lizolandela iNkosi yalo ekufeni nasekuvukeni kwalo. --CCC, n. 675, 677

Le “nkazimulo” (isib. Ingunaphakade) yandulelwa ngu ukungcweliswa leSonto ukuze uMlobokazi angabi nasici futhi angabi nasici (Eph 5: 27), ukuze agqokiswe ilineni elimhlophe lokuhlanzeka (IsAm 19: 8). Lokhu kuhlanzwa kumele andulela uMkhosi WeMvana WeWundlu. Ngakho-ke, iningi leNcwadi yeSambulo alikho mayelana nokuphela komhlaba kepha ukuphela kwalesi sikhathi, okuholela ku "ubungcwele obusha nobungcwele”Njengoba kusho uSt. John Paul II.^[1]qhathanisa Ukuza Ubungcwele Obusha NobuNkulunkulu Ngakho-ke, umanduleli wakhe uPapa St. John XXIII wabiza uMkhandlu Wesibili Wabefundisi wase-Vatican ngalokhu engqondweni: ukuthi i-Era of Peace iyeza, hhayi ukuphela komhlaba.

Ngezinye izikhathi kufanele silalele, sizisole kakhulu, kumazwi abantu okuthi, noma bevutha ngentshiseko, bengenakho ukuqonda nokukala. Kule nkathi yesimanje akukho okunye abangakubona ngaphandle kokuqagela nokucekela phansi… Sibona ukuthi kufanele singavumelani nalabo baprofethi bokubhujiswa abahlala bebikezela inhlekelele, sengathi ukuphela komhlaba kuseduze. Ezikhathini zethu, ukuhlinzekwa nguNkulunkulu kusiholela ohlelweni olusha lobudlelwano babantu, ngomzamo womuntu nangaphezu kwakho konke okulindelwe, oluqondiswe ekugcwalisekeni kwamacebo kaNkulunkulu aphezulu futhi angaqondakali, lapho konke, ngisho nezingqinamba zomuntu, kuholela okuhle okukhulu kweBandla. —UPAPA ST. UJOHN XXIII, Ikheli Lokuvulwa Komkhandlu Wesibili WaseVatican, ngo-Okthoba 11, 1962

UJohn Paul II wayifingqa ngale ndlela:

Ngemuva kokuhlanzwa ngokuhlolwa nangokuhlupheka, ukuqala kwenkathi entsha sekuzophela.-IPOPE ST. UJOHN PAUL II, Izilaleli Ezijwayelekile, Septhemba 10, 2003

Yebo, “ukulingwa nokuhlupheka” kwandulela le “nkathi yokuthula” ezayo. Kungakho "ukusayinwa kwesimilo esihle" kwamaKhatholika athi kufanele sikhulume ngethemba kuphela, izifihla-buso zabaklami, nezinto "ezivumayo" kuthola ubuwula obuncane; kungani labo abafuna ukuhlala emaphethelweni babiyele ukubheja kwabo maqondana nalezi zikhathi (ukungena kuphela lapho kubenza babukeke benembile futhi behlakaniphile) kuyigwala nje; futhi kungani ukuhlasela njengama- "fundamentalists" labo abathi siphila "ezikhathini zokugcina" kungubumpumputhe nje. Ngokuzimisela, balindeleni? Imiphefumulo enjalo kubonakala sengathi ifuna ukuhlela kabusha izihlalo zokuhlala kule Titanic esikhundleni sokusiza abafowabo nodadewabo ukuthi bangene esikhunjeni sokuphila (okusho. “Umkhumbi” we-Immaculate Heart) ohambweni olunesiphepho olungaphambili. Kepha ungathathi izwi lami ngalo maqondana nezikhathi esidlula kuzo:

Kukhona ukungakhululeki okukhulu ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni naseSontweni, futhi okubuzwayo ukukholwa. Kuyenzeka manje ukuthi ngiphinde kimina ibinzana elingaqondakali likaJesu eVangelini likaSt. Luke: 'Lapho iNdodana yoMuntu ibuya, ingabe isazoluthola ukholo emhlabeni?'… Ngezinye izikhathi ngifunda isigaba seVangeli sokuphela izikhathi futhi ngifakazela ukuthi, ngalesi sikhathi, ezinye izimpawu zalesi siphelo ziyavela. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Imfihlo Paul VI, UJean Guitton, k. 152-153, Reference (7), k. ix.

… Omelana neqiniso ngobubi futhi alifulathele, wona kakhulu kuMoya oNgcwele. Ezinsukwini zethu lesi sono sesivame kakhulu ukuthi lezo zikhathi ezimnyama zibonakale sezifikile ezabikezelwa nguSt. Paul, lapho abantu, bephuphuthekiswe ukwahlulelwa okulungile kukaNkulunkulu, kufanele bathathe amanga ngeqiniso, futhi bakholelwe "enkosini waleli zwe, ”ongumqambimanga noyise walo, njengomfundisi weqiniso:“ UNkulunkulu uzobathumela ukusebenza kwephutha, ukuze bakholwe amanga (2 Thes. Ii., 10). Ezikhathini zokugcina abanye bayakuhlubuka ekukholweni, banake imimoya yamanga nezimfundiso zodeveli ” (1 Thim. Iv., 1). —POPE LEO XIII, IDivinum Illud Munus,n. 10

Lapho 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

Kulabo abaphikisayo ukuthi yonke le nkulumo ye-apocalyptic imane nje iyinkohliso yobudedengu futhi engeyinhle, cabanga ngalokho uJesu akushoyo ekuqaleni kwencwadi yeSambulo — umbhalo ogcwele iziprofetho zempi yomhlaba, indlala, ukuwa komnotho, ukuzamazama komhlaba, izinhlupho , iziphepho ezibulalayo zesichotho, izihlambi zamatshe ezibhubhisayo, izilo, ama-666 nokushushiswa

Ubusisiwe ofunda ngokuzwakalayo amazwi esiprofetho, futhi babusisiwe abezwayo, abagcina okubhalwe kuso; ngoba isikhathi sesiseduze. (IsAm 1: 3)

Hm. Babusisiwe labo abafunda “inhlekelele nobumnyama”? Yebo, kungukubhujiswa nobumnyama kuphela kulabo abahluleka ukukubona lokho “Ngaphandle kokuthi uhlamvu lukakolweni luwele phansi lufe, luhlala luwuhlamvu nje lukakolweni; kodwa uma ifa, ithela izithelo eziningi. ” ^[2]John 12: 24 UJesu ufuna ukuthi sifunde futhi sixoxe ngale mibhalo ekhathazayo ukuze balindele futhi uzilungiselele, futhi ukulungela okunjalo empeleni isibusiso. Kepha lapha, angikhulumi ngamasu we-prepping noma amasu okusinda kepha ukulungiselela inhliziyo: lapho umuntu eba kude kakhulu nezwe kangangokuba anganyakaziswa yinkulumo yokujeziswa, abaphikukristu nokulingwa ngoba bayabona ukuthi akukho lutho, akukho okwenzekayo kulo mhlaba okungagcini kuza ngendlela yesandla sikaBaba. Njengoba kusho kumaHubo anamuhla:

Ngakho-ke funda ukuthi yimina ngedwa uNkulunkulu, futhi akukho nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami. Yimina engiletha ukufa nokuphila, mina engifaka amanxeba ngiwapholise.Isihlabelelo sanamuhla)

Ukuthula kwemiphefumulo enjalo akuzi ngokubambelela entofontofo yamanga nasekuphepheni okukhohlisayo noma “ngokucabanga okuhle” nokunamathela ekhanda lakho esihlabathini esiyisaga… kepha ngokufa kulo mhlaba nasezithembisweni zawo eziyize:

Noma ngubani othanda ukungilandela makazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele. Ngoba loba ngubani othanda ukusindisa impilo yakhe, izamlahlekela, kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami uzayithola. Iyiphi inzuzo ebingaba khona ngomuntu ukuzuza umhlaba wonke alahlekelwe impilo yakhe? (IVangeli Lanamuhla)

Ngokwezindinganiso zanamuhla, uJesu wayengathathwa njengomprofethi wamanga ngenkulumo enjalo eyethusayo. Kepha uyabona, abaprofethi bamanga yilabo ababetshela abantu ukuthi benzeni wayefuna ukuzwa; abaprofethi beqiniso yilabo ababatshela ukuthi bathini Okudingekayo ukuzwa-futhi babakhanda ngamatshe.

 

IZWI ON FR. UMICHEL

Amatshe amaningi aphonswayo njengamanje abhekiswe kumboni okusolwa ukuthi uvela eQuebec, eCanada, uFr. UMichel Rodrigue. Ungomunye wabasolwa abasolwa abaningi okuvela kubo Ukwehlela eMbusweni futhi osephenduke induku yohlobo lombani. Kungenzeka ngoba amashumi ezinkulungwane zabantu akabukeli nje ama-video akhe lapho noma afunde amagama akhe, kepha empeleni kuphendula kubo. Sithole izincwadi ezingenakubalwa zokuguqulwa okunamandla nokuvuka okwenzeka ngemiyalezo kaFr. UMichel — ezinye zazo ziyamangaza futhi ziya “zidlanga.” 

Ngokwami, ngibone kuphela ingxenyana yamavidiyo ku-Countdown of Fr. UMichel (anginasikhathi sokubuyekeza konke okubhaliwe; engisebenzisana nabo, nokho, badlule ezinkulumweni zakhe). Kulokhu engikuzwile, akuhambisani neMibhalo kuphela kepha "nokuvumelana okungokwesiprofetho" kwababoni emhlabeni jikelele. Kuleyo mibuzo ephakanyiswe "ekuhloleni kwezenkolo" nguDkt.Mark Miravalle, engisebenza naye uProf. Daniel O'Connor uphendule ngokucacile nangokunengqondo.^[3]bheka “Impendulo esihlokweni sikaDkt. Mark Miravalle ngoFr. UMichel Rodrigue ” Yize kunjalo, ngiyaqhubeka "nokubuka futhi ngithandaze" futhi angiqondi uFr. UMichel kodwa bonke ababoni ku-Countdown. Asikhuthazi noma yibaphi ababonayo; simane nje sinikeza isigcawu samazwi angokwesiprofetho anokwethenjelwa nathembekile ngokwesiyalo sikaSt “Makukhulume abaprofethi ababili noma abathathu, abanye mabakulinganise okushiwoyo.” ^[4]Korinte 1 14: 29

Lokho kusho ukuthi, kube nokudideka kwangempela okuzungeze uFr. UMichel. Umhlanganyeli wethu, uChristine Watkins, owaxoxisana noFr. Michel ngencwadi yakhe, wayebhale ukuthi uFr. UMichel "utshela konke" kubhishobhi wakhe "owayegunyaze" imiyalezo yakhe. Ngokuphambene nalokho, umbhishobhi wabhalela uFr. UMichel ukuthi akawusekeli umqondo wokuthi “Isixwayiso, izijeziso, iMpi Yezwe yesithathu, iNkathi Yokuthula, noma ikuphi ukwakhiwa kwama-refuge, njll.” futhi wanikeza izinkomba zokuthi wayengakakuboni konke. Akucaci ukuthi kwenzeke kanjani noma kungani lokhu kuxhumana okungafanele kwenzeka. Okungaqashelwa kulokhu ukuthi umbhishobhi akayisekeli imiyalezo yakhe, kodwa futhi nokuthi alukho uphenyo olusemthethweni noma ucwaningo lwemiyalezo olwenzekile. Umbhishobhi unelungelo lombono wakhe, kepha kusukela ngalokhu kubhalwa, akakakhiphanga isimemezelo esisemthethweni nesibophezelayo maqondana nezinsolo zokudalulwa kukaFr. UMichel. Ngaleso sizathu, imilayezo ihlala ku-Countdown to the Kingdom ukuze iqhubeke nokuqonda.^[5]isib. bheka “Isitatimende ngo-Fr. UMichel Rodrigue ”

Okwesibili, abantu abaningi baphikisana nezinye iziphrofetho ezisuka ku-Fr. UMichel ukuthi lokhu kuwa kuzobona ukuphakama emicimbini emibi. Bathi lezo ziprofetho kufanele zingamanga ngoba uJesu wathi: "Akusikho okwenu ukwazi izikhathi noma izinkathi uBaba azimise ngegunya lakhe."^[6]Izenzo 1: 7 Kepha iNkosi yethu ibikhuluma nabaPhostoli eminyakeni eyi-2000 eyedlule, hhayi zonke izizukulwane (futhi kusobala ukuthi wayeqinisile). Ngaphezu kwalokho, uFr. UMichel ubengeke abe ngumboni wokuqala emlandweni weSonto ukukhuluma ngemicimbi ezayo. Imiyalezo egunyaziwe kaFatima ibicacise kakhulu ngemicimbi ezayo eseduze, kungasaphathwa usuku oluqondile “lwesimangaliso selanga” Ekugcineni, uFr. UMichel Mayelana nalokhu empeleni iyahambisana nabanye ababoni emhlabeni wonke abakhomba imicimbi emikhulu kungekudala.

Umprofethi umuntu okhuluma iqiniso ngamandla okuxhumana kwakhe noNkulunkulu — iqiniso lanamuhla, nalo, ngokwemvelo, elikhanyisa ikusasa. —UKhadinali uJoseph Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Isiprofetho SamaKristu, Isiko Langemuva KweBhayibheli, Niels Christian Hvidt, Isandulelo, k. vii

Ukubheka nje izihloko ezisematheni nsuku zonke kusikisela ukuthi ababoni mhlawumbe balunge kakhulu kunalokho.

Ngokuqondene nenkonzo yami, ngizoqhubeka nokuhamba neBandla kulezi zinto. Ngabe uFr. UMichel noma omunye umboni "ulahlwe ngokusemthethweni", ngizokunamathela kulokho. Ngempela, bekungeke kube yisikhumba samazinyo ami ngoba le nkonzo ayakhelwanga esambulweni sangasese kepha Isambulo Somphakathi sikaJesu Kristu eseZwini likaNkulunkulu, sigcinwe ekubambeni kokholo, futhi sidluliswa ngeSiko Elingcwele. Lelo yidwala engimi kulo, futhi ngiyethemba ukugcina abafundi bami nabo, ngoba ukuphela kwedwala elibekwe nguKristu uqobo.

Ngakho-ke lokho kusho ukuthi, akufanele siqhubeke silalele lona leloZwi ngokuzithoba okuqaphelayo ?:

Ungawadeleli amazwi abaprofethi,
kepha vivinya konke;
bambelela kokuhle…

(I-1 I-Tesaronika 5: 20-21)
