Imibhalo yenkolo lapha.
THE Umprofethi uDaniel unikezwa umbono onamandla nowesabisayo wemibuso emine eyayizobusa okwesikhashana — owesine kube ngundlovukayiphikiswa emhlabeni wonke lapho uMphik'ukristu ayezovela khona, ngokwe-Tradition. Bobabili uDaniel noKristu bachaza ukuthi izikhathi zalesi “silo” zizobukeka kanjani, yize kubhekwa ngezindlela ezahlukene.
UDaniel uchaza umbuso wobushiqela “onamazinyo amakhulu ensimbi awudla wawuchoboza, futhi okusele wakunyathela ngezinyawo zawo.” Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uJesu ubonakala echaza isiphithiphithi futhi imiphumela ezedlula futhi zihambisana nesilo: ukubhujiswa kweJerusalema, isizwe esivukela isizwe, ukuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla, indlala nezinhlupho ezindaweni ngezindawo. Ukhuluma ngoshushiso, ukuzungezwa kweJerusalema ngamabutho, bese kuba nenhlekelele ethile ethinta izilwandle nezilwandle. [1]isib. ULuka 21: 5-28
Zikhona yini izimpawu zokuthi isikhathi sesilo sesifikile kithi? Kuleli khulu leminyaka elidlule kuphela, sibonile izimpi ezimbili zomhlaba, ukuqothulwa kohlanga okuqhubekayo, futhi manje umncintiswano wezikhali zenuzi phakathi kwamazwe amaningana. Sibona nokuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla amakhulu amakhulu okubhubhisa, kusuka eJapan kuya eHaita, eNew Zealand kuya e-Indonesia. Ukusweleka kokudla, ngenxa yemikhuba emibi yezomnotho nezolimo, kudlangile emazweni omhlaba wesithathu… futhi manje umhlaba ulungele ukuqhuma “kwezinhlupho” njengoba singena esikhathini sangemva kwe-antiboitic lapho izidakamizwa zethu zingasasebenzi nje.
UPapa Francis, mhlawumbe hhayi ngengozi, ukhiphe iSikhuthazo Sakhe SobuPhostoli kuleli sonto lapho sifunda ngesilo sikaDaniel sobushiqela, esiqinisekiswa nguSt. ubushiqela kwezomnotho. [2]isib. IsAm 13: 16-17 Encwadini yakhe, uBaba oNgcwele ukhuluma “ngohlelo” lwamanje, ethi:
Ngakho-ke kuzalwa ubushiqela obusha, obungabonakali futhi obuvame ukubonakala, obubeka ngokungahambisani futhi ngokunganqeni ukubeka imithetho nezimiso zayo. Isikweletu nokuqongelelwa kwenzalo nakho kwenza kube nzima emazweni ukuthi abone amandla eminotho yawo nokugcina izakhamizi zingawajabuleli amandla azo okuthenga wangempela. Kukho konke lokhu singangeza inkohlakalo esabalele kanye nokubalekela ukukhokha intela, okuthe kwaba nobukhulu bomhlaba wonke. Ukomela amandla nezinto onakho akukho mkhawulo. Kulesi simiso, esivame uku shwabadela yonke into emi endleleni yenzuzo eyengeziwe, noma yini entekenteke, njengemvelo, ayinakho ukuzivikela phambi kwezintshisekelo zemakethe ebumbene, eba ukuphela komthetho. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 56
Yebo, ngisho nemvelo inyathelwa ngezinyawo njengoba siqhubeka nokufaka ushevu ekudleni kwethu, emanzini nasemhlabathini. KumaHubo namuhla, siyathandaza:
Nina mahlengethwa nazo zonke izidalwa zamanzi, bongani iNkosi; mdumiseni nimphakamise ngaphezu kwakho konke kuze kube phakade. (Daniyeli 3)
Kodwa sifunde kule nyanga ukuthi amahlengethwa ayafa ngamanani aqopha umlando — nezinyamazane, izinyoni, izinhlanzi, nezinye izidalwa ezinezimbangela ezingachazeki ngokuvamile. Ukudunyiswa kwendalo kuphendulwa isililo.
Kuthiwani ngokushushiswa? Kube khona abafel 'ukholo abaningi ngekhulu elidlule kunawo wonke amakhulu eminyaka angamashumi amabili edlule ehlangene. Futhi kusobala ukuthi inkululeko yobuKristu iyanyamalala, hhayi kuphela ezindaweni ezinobutha ezifana nezifunda zamaSulumane, kepha naseNyakatho Melika, lapho inkululeko yokukhuluma ishabalala ngokushesha. Futhi kuzofika, lowo mzuzu, kusho uBaba oNgcwele, lapho izitha zeSonto zizobe seziqede lonke iqiniso.
Kuzofana nokunqoba kwenkosana yaleli zwe: ukwehlulwa kukaNkulunkulu. Kubukeka sengathi kulowo mzuzu wokugcina wenhlekelele, uzothatha leli zwe, ukuthi abe ngumphathi walo mhlaba. —POPE FRANCIS, Homily, Novemba 28, 2013, Vatican City; I-Zenit.org
Kepha uJesu usitshela eVangelini lanamuhla ukuthi, njengamakholwa anqobayo, izinto sizibheke ngenye indlela:
… Lapho nibona lezi zinto zenzeka, yazini ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu useduze. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesi sizukulwane asiyikudlula kungakenzeki konke lokhu. (Luka 21: 31-32)
Izikhathi zoshushiso zisho ukuthi ukunqoba kukaJesu Kristu kuseduze… Kuleli sonto kuzosisiza ukucabanga ngalokhu kuhlubuka okujwayelekile, okubizwa ngokuthi ukuvinjelwa kokukhulekelwa, bese sizibuza ukuthi: 'Ngiyayithanda yini iNkosi? Ngabe ngikhonza uJesu Kristu, iNkosi? Noma ngabe uhhafu nengxenye, ngiyawudlala umdlalo wokuba yinkosana yaleli zwe… Ukudumisa kuze kube sekupheleni, ngokwethembeka nangokwethembeka: lona umusa okufanele siwucele kuleli sonto. ' —POPE FRANCIS, Homily, Novemba 28, 2013, Vatican City; I-Zenit.org
