ISonto lizongena enkazimulweni yombuso kuphela ngaleli Phasika lokugcina, lapho lizolandela iNkosi yalo ekufeni nasekuvukeni kwalo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 677
AS siyaqhubeka nokulandela iPassion of the Body maqondana neNcwadi Yesambulo, kuhle ukukhumbula amagama esiwafunde ekuqaleni kwalencwadi:
Ubusisiwe ofunda ngokuzwakalayo futhi babusisiwe labo abalalela lo myalezo ongokwesiprofetho futhi bagcine lokho okulotshwe kuwo, ngoba isikhathi esimisiwe siseduze. (IsAm 1: 3)
Asifundanga-ke ngomoya wovalo noma ngokwesaba, kepha ngomoya wethemba nokulindela isibusiso esiza kulabo "abalalela" umyalezo ophakathi weSambulo: ukukholwa kuJesu Kristu kusisindisa ekufeni okuphakade futhi kusinikeze bahlanganyele efeni loMbuso Wezulu.
NGAPHANDLE KUKAJESU
THE Umcimbi ophawuleka kakhulu wokuThethwa Kweminyaka Eyisikhombisa akusikho ukuphakama koMphikukristu, kepha ukuqedwa kweMisa Elingcwele, okuzoba nayo imiphumela cosmic:
Lonke ulaka nentukuthelo kaNkulunkulu kuveza ngaphambi kwalo mnikelo. —USt. U-Albert Omkhulu, UJesu, Uthando Lwethu Lwesidlo, nguFr. UStefano M. Manelli, FI; k. 15
Ngaphandle kweMisa eNgcwele, kungaba yini ngathi? Konke lapha ngezansi kuzobhubha, ngoba lokho kukodwa kungabamba ingalo kaNkulunkulu. —USt. UTeresa wase-Avila, e-Ibid.
Ngaphandle kweMisa, umhlaba ngabe usuvele wabhujiswa yizono zabantu eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule. —USt. U-Alphonsus de 'Liguori; Ibid.
Futhi khumbula futhi amazwi ayisiprofetho kaSt. Pio:
Kungaba lula emhlabeni ukuthi uphile ngaphandle kwelanga kunokukwenza ngaphandle kweMisa eNgcwele. —Ibhid.
Ukungabikho kobukhona bukaKrestu eMhlabeni (ngaphandle kwalapho kuthiwa khona iMisa ngasese) kuveza ububi obubi, hhayi ezinhliziyweni kuphela, kodwa nasemkhathini uqobo. “Ngokubethelwa” kweSonto, iMisa lizocishe liphele emhlabeni wonke ngaphandle kwezindawo ezicashile. Umhlatshelo waphakade uzoqedwa obala emhlabeni wonke, futhi bonke abapristi abangaphansi komhlaba bazingelwe. Yebo, njengoba uJesu athembisa ekuqaleni kwencwadi yeSambulo:
Onqobayo ngizomnika imana elifihlekile… (IsAm 2:17)
Mayelana nalokhu, kunomyalezo ojulile ezimangalisweni ezimbili zokuphindaphindwa kwezinkwa ezenzeka ehlane lapho kwakungekho kudla khona. Esikhathini sokuqala, abaPhostoli baqoqa obhasikidi abangu-12 abagcwele izingcezwana zesinkwa ezazisele. Esikhathini sesibili, baqoqa obhasikidi abayi-7. Ngemuva kokucela abaPhostoli ukuthi bakhumbule lezi zimangaliso, uJesu ubabuza:
Anikaqondi namanje? (Marku 8: 13-21)
Obhasikidi abayishumi nambili bamele iSonto, abaphostoli abangamashumi amabili (kanye nezizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli) kanti eziyisikhombisa zimele ukuphelela. Kunjengokungathi uthi, “Ngizobheka abantu bami, ngibondle ehlane.”Ukuhlinzeka nokuvikelwa kwakhe akushodi; Uyakwazi ukunakekela uMlobokazi waKhe.
Ihora Lokunqoba KweSonto nokuboshwa kukaSathane ngamaketanga kuzoqondana. Ukunqoba okuseduze kukaNkulunkulu ebubini kwenzeka ngokwengxenye ngo Izitsha eziyisikhombisa-ulaka lukaNkulunkulu.
Umlilo uzokuwa esibhakabhakeni futhi uzosula ingxenye enkulu yesintu, enhle kanye nenhle, kungabi nabapristi noma abathembekile. Abasindile bazozithola bengamanxiwa kangangoba bazomonela abafileyo. Izingalo kuphela ezizosala kuwe kuzoba yiRosari nePhawu elishiywe yiNdodana Yami. Usuku ngalunye yisho imithandazo yeRosari. —Umyalezo ovunyelwe we-Virgin Mary Ebusisiwe kuSr. Agnes Sasagawa, Akita, Japan; Umtapo wolwazi we-EWTN online.
Izitsha eziyisikhombisa: UKUZA OKUKHULU?
UNkulunkulu uzothumela izijeziso ezimbili: eyodwa izoba sesimweni sezimpi, ukuvukelwa, nobunye ububi; kuyakusuka emhlabeni. Enye izothunyelwa ivela ezulwini. -Isiprofetho samaKatolika, Yves Dupont, Tan Books (1970), ikhasi. 44-45
Ngokwanda kuka-Umphik'ukristu, umnyango we Ark, ebelilokhu livulekile, selizovalwa, njengoba nje nomkhumbi kaNowa ungazange uvalwe kuze kudlule “izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.” Njengoba uJesu asho kuSt. Faustina:
… Ngaphambi kokuba ngize njengoJaji onobulungisa, ngiqala ngivule kakhulu umnyango wesihe Sami. Owenqaba ukudlula emnyango wesihe Sami kufanele adlule ngomnyango wobulungiswa Bami… -Isihe Saphezulu Emphefumulweni Wami, Idayari, n. 1146
Izitsha Eziyisikhombisa (IsAm 16: 1-20) zibonakala zingukugcwaliseka okungokoqobo kwemicimbi efana ngokomoya emacilongweni amane okuqala, ukwahlukana. Kungenzeka, bachaza inkanyezi enomsila noma enye into yasezulwini edlula phakathi komhlaba nelanga. Amabhowulu ayizimpendulo ezilungile ekuhlubukeni okudle umhlaba, nasegazini labangcwele
okuchithekwayo. Ziqukethe umaye wesithathu nowokugcina ozohlanza umhlaba kubo bonke ububi.
Kuzoba khona izibonakaliso elangeni nasenyangeni nasezinkanyezini, nasemhlabeni izizwe ziyokwesaba, zikhungathekiswe ukuduma kolwandle namagagasi. Abantu bazobulawa ukwesaba belindele okuza emhlabeni, ngoba amandla ezulu azanyakaziswa. (Luka 21: 25-28)
Sizobona le nto isondela emhlabeni. Ingase ihlukane ibe izingxenye eziningi (njengoba kwenzekile ngezinkanyezi ezinomsila zakamuva ezingena esimisweni sethu sonozungezilanga; bheka isithombe esingenhla), bese ushaya umhlaba ngezicucu ezahlukahlukene — njengezakhi eziphakathi kwamacilongo amane okuqala. Njengoba umsila weSilo wadlula phezu kweSonto, umsila wemfucumfucu yale nto uzoshanela umhlaba, uthumele “intaba evuthayo” olwandle, imvula "yesichotho nomlilo" emhlabeni, kanye "nomhlonyane" noma ushevu amagesi nasemifuleni.
Ngokucindezela kwayo okukhulu, inkanyezi enomsila izophoqelela okuningi olwandle futhi ikhukhule amazwe amaningi, ibangele ukuswela okukhulu nezinhlupho eziningi. Yonke imizi esogwini izohlala ngokwesaba, futhi eminingi yayo izobhujiswa amagagasi olwandle, futhi izidalwa eziningi eziphilayo zizobulawa, ngisho nalabo abalekela izifo ezimbi. Ngoba akukho kulawo madolobha lapho umuntu ephila ngokuvumelana nemithetho kaNkulunkulu. —USt. UHildegard (ngekhulu le-12), Isiprofetho samaKatolika, iphe. I-16
ISIJEZISO ESIKHULU
Ingilosi yokuqala yahamba yathululela isitsha sayo emhlabeni. Kwaqubuka izilonda ezibandayo nezimbi kulabo ababenophawu lwesilo noma abakhonza umfanekiso waso. (IsAm 16: 2)
Isazi semfundiso yenkolo uFr. UJoseph Iannuzzi uqagela ukuthi labo abathola uphawu lwesilo bazoshaywa yizilonda ezibandayo, ezimbi ezibangelwa 'umlotha omubi'; labo abavikelwe uNkulunkulu ngeke. Labo abathathe "uphawu" bathola lokhu kuhlushwa.
Umoya onamandla uzovuka eNyakatho uthwele inkungu esindayo nothuli olujiyile ngomyalo kaNkulunkulu, futhi uyogcwalisa umphimbo wabo namehlo abo ukuze bayeke ubudlwangudlwangu babo bese behlaselwa ukwesaba okukhulu. Ngaphambi kokuba inkanyezi enomsila ifike, izizwe eziningi, ezinhle ngaphandle, zizoshaywa indlala nendlala… —USt. UHildegard (ngekhulu le-12), I-Divinum Operorum, ISt. Hildegardis, isihloko 24
Kuyaziwa ukuthi izinkanyezi ezinomsila ziqukethe i- red uthuli abanye ososayensi abakholelwa ukuthi luyilo tholins, ezingama-molecule amakhulu e-carbon organic. Izitsha zesibili nezesithathu ziguqula ulwandle “lube yigazi,” lubulala impilo yasolwandle futhi lubhubhise imifula neziphethu ngenxa yothuli olubomvu lwenkanyezi enomsila. Isitsha Sesine sibonakala sichaza imiphumela yenkanyezi enomsila emkhathini, okwenza ilanga libonakale lishisa kakhulu, lishisa umhlaba. Ngempela, besingekho yini isixwayiso esibuhlungu “esimangalisweni selanga” esabonwa ngamashumi ezinkulungwane eFatima, lapho ilanga lishisa futhi libonakala liwela emhlabeni? Isitsha sesihlanu kubukeka sengathi siyalandela kusuka kwesesine: umhlaba uvutha yimiphumela yokushisa okuhangulayo, isibhakabhaka sigcwala umusi, sifaka umbuso weSilo ebumnyameni obukhulu.
Ngokunokwenzeka njengomphumela wesihlanu, i-Sixth Bowl yomisa umfula i-Ewufrathe futhi ikhulule imimoya yamademoni ukuze ihehe amakhosi aseMpumalanga ukuthi ahlangane e-Armagedoni.
I-Armagedoni… isho ukuthi “Intaba yaseMegido.” Njengoba iMegido kwakuyindawo yezimpi eziningi ezazinqume endulo, leli dolobha laba uphawu lokunqotshwa kokugcina okuyinhlekelele kwamandla wobubi. —Imibhalo yaphansi yeNAB, cf. IsAm 16:16
Lokhu kulungiselela umhlaba ukuba isitsha seSikhombisa nesokugcina sithululwe emhlabeni — ukuzamazama komhlaba okuzonyakazisa izisekelo zobubi…
