IN entwasahlobo ka-2006, ngithole kakhulu izwi elinamandla lokho kuhamba phambili kwemicabango yami kulezi zinsuku…
Ngamehlo omphefumulo wami, iNkosi ibilokhu inginika "amazwibela" amafushane ezinhlakeni ezahlukahlukene zomhlaba: ezomnotho, amandla ezepolitiki, uchungechunge lokudla, isimilo sokuziphatha, kanye nezinto ezingaphakathi eSontweni. Futhi izwi belihlala lifana:
Inkohlakalo ijule kakhulu, kumele yehle yonke.
INkosi yayingumkhontoinkosi ye Ukuhlinzwa Kwezimonyo, kuze kufike kuzo kanye izisekelo zempucuko. Kubonakala kimi ukuthi ngenkathi sikwazi futhi kufanele sithandazele imiphefumulo, iSurgery uqobo lwayo manje ayikwazi ukuhlehliswa:
Lapho izisekelo zichithwa, abaqotho bangenzani? (IHubo 11: 3)
Namanje izembe selibekiwe empandeni yemithi. Ngakho-ke yonke imithi engatheli izithelo ezinhle iyanqunywa, iphonswe emlilweni. (Luka 3: 9)
Ekupheleni konyaka wezinkulungwane eziyisithupha, bonke ububi kufanele buqedwe emhlabeni, nokulunga kubuse iminyaka eyinkulungwane [IsAm 20: 6]... - UCaecilius Firmianus Lactantius (250-317 AD; uBaba Wokuqala weSonto kanye nomlobi wezenkolo), Izikhungo Zaphezulu, Umq. 7.
ISONO NENDALO
Indalo isebenza, futhi ingumkhiqizo wohlelo lukaNkulunkulu:
Uhlele zonke izinto ngesilinganiso nenombolo nesisindo. (IzA 11:20)
Unguye "ingcina" yazo zonke izinto ezidaliwe:
Zonke izinto zadalwa ngaye futhi zadalelwa yena. Ungaphambi kwazo zonke izinto, futhi zonke izinto zibambisene kuye. (Kol 1: 16-17)
Lapho umuntu eqala ukudlala ngohlelo lukaNkulunkulu, futhi ngokwengeziwe enqaba yona kanye "ingcina" yalolo hlelo, indalo uqobo iqala ukwehluka. Lokhu sikubona kusizungezile namuhla njengoba izilwandle zethu ziqala ukufa, izilwane ezahlukahlukene zomhlaba nezasolwandle ziqala ukunyamalala ngendlela engachazeki, inani lezinyosi liyancipha, izimo zezulu ziya ziba zimbi ngokwengeziwe, nezinhlupho, indlala, amagagasi okushisa, isomiso, izikhukhula nomoya, iqhwa , nesichotho kunesiphepho esihlasela izindawo ezisemaphandleni kaningi.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma isono singathinta indalo, kanjalo futhi ubungcwele. Ngokwengxenye lobu bungcwele, obuzokwembulwa ezinganeni zikaNkulunkulu, okulindelwe yizo zonke izidalwa.
Ngoba indalo ilindele ngokulangazela okukhulu ukwambulwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu; ngoba indalo yenziwa yaba ngaphansi kobuze, hhayi ngokuthanda kwayo kodwa ngenxa yalowo owayibeka phansi, ngethemba lokuthi indalo ngokwayo yayizokhululwa ebugqilini bokonakala futhi ihlanganyele enkululekweni ekhazimulayo yabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. Siyazi ukuthi yonke indalo ibubula ngezinhlungu zokubeletha kuze kube manje… (Rom 8: 19-22)
IPHENTEKOSTE ELISHA
ISonto likhuleka futhi lithemba usuku lapho uMoya uzofika futhi "uvuselele ubuso bomhlaba." Lapho eza ngePentekoste Lesibili ezokwethula iNkathi Yokuthula, indalo nayo izovuselelwa ngezinga elithile-lokhu, ngokuqonda okunikezwe thina ngoFata beSonto Lokuqala baleso sikhathi "seminyaka eyinkulungwane" sokuthula (IsAm 20: 6):
Futhi kulungile ukuthi uma indalo ibuyiselwa, zonke izilwane kufanele zithobele futhi zithobele umuntu, futhi zibuyele ekudleni okwanikwa uNkulunkulu ekuqaleni… okungukuthi, imikhiqizo yomhlaba. —St. U-Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140- 202 AD); Ama-Adersus Haereses, U-Irenaeus waseLyons, udlula uBk. 32, uCh. 1; 33, 4, The Fathers of the Church, ICIMA Publishing Co .; (USt. Irenaeus wayengumfundi waseSt. Polycarp ngubani uqobo owayemazi uMphostoli uJohane futhi wafunda kuye, futhi kamuva wagcotshwa njengombhishobhi waseSmirna nguJohn)
Ngoba i Isijeziso esivela eZulwini kuzonciphisa ingqalasizinda ibe ngothuli, isintu sisonke sizobuyela ekuphiliseni ngomhlabathi futhi.
Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Lapho nginihlambulula ebubini bonke benu, ngiyakuchitha imizi, kwakhiwe amanxiwa; umhlaba oyincithakalo uyolinywa, ngaphambili owawuyinkangala obonakaliswe emehlweni abo bonke abadlula ngendlela. "Lomhlaba oyincithakalo wenziwe waba yinsimu yase-Edene," bazosho. (Ez 36: 33-35)
Indalo, izalwe kabusha futhi ikhululwe ebugqilini, izokhiqiza inala yokudla kwayo yonke inhlobo evela emazolweni ezulu kanye nasekuvundiseni komhlaba. -U-St. Irenaeus, Ama-Adersus Haereses
Umhlaba uzovula ukuthela kwawo futhi uthele izithelo eziningi kakhulu ngokwawo; izintaba ezinamadwala ziconsa uju; imifula yewayini iyakugobhoza, nemifula igeleze ubisi; ngamafuphi nje izwe ngokwalo lizojabula, nayo yonke imvelo iphakame, isindiswe futhi ikhululwe ebubini bobubi nokungazihloniphi, necala nephutha. - UCaecilius Firmianus Lactantius, Izikhungo Zaphezulu
Khumbula futhi kusuka ku- Ingxenye I umkhosi wamaJuda UShavuoth:
Ukudla okudliwe ngalolu suku kufanekisela ubisi noju [uphawu lomhlaba wesithembiso], futhi yakhiwe ngemikhiqizo yobisi. -http://lexicorient.com/e.o/shavuoth.htm
Ukuchazwa komhlaba ogeleza "ubisi noju" kungokomfanekiso lapha njengoba kunjalo emiBhalweni Engcwele. "Ipharadesi" elizayo ngokuyinhloko a okungokomoya eyodwa, futhi ngandlela thile, izofinyelela ezingeni eliphakeme lobumbano noNkulunkulu kunalokho u-Adamu no-Eva abakujabulela. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi, ngokufa nokuvuka kukaKristu, ubudlelwano bethu noBaba abubuyiswanga kuphela, kepha nathi ngokwethu sesiyisidalwa esisha esikwazi ukuhlanganyela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu uqobo (Rom 8:17). Ngakho-ke, maqondana nesono sika-Adamu, iSonto limemeza ngenjabulo: O felix culpa, quae talum ac tantum meruit habere Redemptorem ("Oh iphutha elijabulisayo, elisizuzele uMhlengi omkhulu kangaka!")
IVANGELI LOKUPHILA
Ngesikhathi seNkathi Yokuthula, ngaphambi kokuphela kwesikhathi, iNkosi yethu uqobo yathi iVangeli lizoshunyayelwa kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba:
Leli vangeli lombuso lizoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke njengobufakazi ezizweni zonke, futhi ke ukuphela kuyofika. (Math. 24:14)
IVangeli kuqala futhi a IVangeli lempilo. Umuntu usazokhandleka, kodwa umsebenzi wakhe uzoba nezithelo. Izindlela zakhe zizokwenziwa lula, kepha ukuthula kuzoba ngumvuzo wakhe. Ukubeletha kusazoba buhlungu, kepha impilo izochuma:
Lawa ngamazwi ka-Isaya maqondana neminyaka eyinkulungwane: 'Ngoba kuzoba khona izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha, futhi okwangaphambili ngeke kukhunjulwe noma kungene enhliziyweni yabo, kodwa bayojabula bathokoze ngalezi zinto, engizidalayo … Akusayikuba khona usana lwezinsuku lapho, nexhegu elingagcwalisi izinsuku zalo; ngokuba umntwana uyakufa eneminyaka eyikhulu… Ngokuba njengezinsuku zomuthi wokuphila ziyakuba-njalo izinsuku zabantu baMi, nemisebenzi yezandla zabo iyakwandiswa. Abakhethiweyo bami abayikusebenzela ize, noma bazalele abantwana isiqalekiso; ngoba bayoba inzalo elungile ebusisiwe yiNkosi, kanye nenzalo yabo enabo. -USt. Justin Martyr, Ingxoxo noTrypho, Ch. 81, The Fathers of the Church, Christian Heritage; isib. Is 54: 1
Uma iSonto liphila ngeNtando Yaphezulu, khona-ke lizobe liphila "ngemfundiso yenkolo yomzimba" lapho izenzo zokuzibandakanya nezokuzibandakanya zothando lomshado zingakhombisi yonke intando kaNkulunkulu kuphela, kodwa noZiqu-zintathu oNgcwele uqobo, njengoba uNkulunkulu ayehlosile lezi zenzo okufanele zenziwe futhi zenziwe.
Esicaphunweni esingenhla esivela kuSt. Justin Martyr, akabhekiseli "emazulwini amasha nomhlaba omusha" ozovela ngemuva kokuphela kuka-t.
ime, kepha kunenkathi entsha ezayo lapho "Umbuso wakho mawuze, intando yakho mayenziwe emhlabeni njengasezulwini."Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi ubuso bomhlaba bungavuselelwa ngandlela thile ngenkathi i- UMdali Spiritus iza? Lapho uSathane namabutho akhe beboshwe kwalasha, umuntu ehlonipha futhi esebenzisa indalo njengoba uNkulunkulu ayehlosile, futhi ngamandla anikeza impilo kaMoya oNgcwele, indalo izothola inkululeko entsha.
UKUQHUBEKA KWESikhashana
Kokubili imiBhalo Engcwele kanye noBaba BeSonto bakhuluma ngesikhathi emhlabeni lapho ukuhlubuka kwemvelo kumuntu kuzobonakala kumisiwe. U-St. Irenaeus uthi:
Zonke izilwane ezisebenzisa imikhiqizo yenhlabathi ziyoba nokuthula nokuzwana esinye nesinye, ngokuphelele ngokomuntu nangokubizwa kwakhe. -Ama-Adersus Haereses
Lapho-ke impisi iyoba yisimenywa sewundlu, ingwe ilale phansi nezinyane lembuzi; Inkonyane kanye nebhongo lengonyama kuzobhekabheka kanyekanye, nomntwana omncane ozobahola… Ingane izodlala ngasemhokheni wezimfezi, ingane ibeke isandla sayo emhhumeni wenyoka. Ngeke kube khona ukulimala noma incithakalo kuyo yonke intaba yami engcwele; ngokuba umhlaba uyakugcwala ukumazi uJehova njengamanzi asibekela ulwandle. ”(Isaya 11: 6, 8-9)
Ngisho nendawo yonke ingahle i-odolwe kabusha ngenxa yesiphithiphithi sasemhlabeni lapho izono zomuntu zimlethele khona:
Ngosuku lokuhlaba okukhulu, lapho imibhoshongo iwa, ukukhanya kwenyanga kuzofana nokukhanya kwelanga futhi ukukhanya kwelanga kuzokuphinda kasikhombisa (njengokukhanya kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa). Ngosuku uJehova azobopha ngalo amanxeba abantu bakhe, uyopholisa imivimbo eshiywe yimivimbo yakhe. (Is 30: 25-26)
Ilanga lizokhanya ngokuphindwe kasikhombisa kunalokhu elikhona manje. - UCaecilius Firmianus Lactantius (250-317 AD; uBaba weSonto kanye nomlobi wokuqala wesonto), Izikhungo Zaphezulu
UPapa John Paul uqinisekisa ukuthi lokhu kuvuselelwa kwendalo kumane nje kuyisithelo soMbuso kaNkulunkulu ekugcineni okwamukelwe:
Leli ithemba lethu elikhulu nokunxusa kwethu ukuthi, 'Umbuso wakho mawuze!' - Umbuso wokuthula, ubulungiswa kanye nokuzola, okuzomisa kabusha ukuvumelana kokuqala kwendalo. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Izethameli Ezijwayelekile, ngoNovemba 6, 2002, Zenit
Futhi, kunzima ukwazi ukuthi kungakanani kulokho okushiwo oFata BeSonto okufanekisela ukuvuselelwa ngokomoya emhlabeni, nokuthi kungakanani okungokoqobo. Okuqinisekile ngukuthi ubulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu buzobusa. Kuyaqiniseka futhi ukuthi iZulu kanye ne ukuphelela kwendalo yonke ngeke kufike kuze kuphele isikhathi.
Njengoba umuntu ehlala ekhululekile futhi njengoba inkululeko yakhe ihlala intekenteke, umbuso wentando enhle
ungalokothi umiswe ngokuqinisekile kulo mhlaba. -Isikhulumi uSalvi, Incwadi Encyclical of PAPE BENEDICT XVI, n. 24b
Ekupheleni kwesikhathi, umbuso kaNkulunkulu uzofika ngokugcwala kwawo… ISonto… lizokwamukela ukuphelela kwalo enkazimulweni yezulu kuphela. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 1042
WELALELA UMTHALO WETHEMBA
Akungabazeki ukuthi uPapa John Paul II wayazi ngalesi sikhathi esizayo njengoba kwabuye kwathenjiswa nguMama wethu waseFatima "njengesikhathi sokuthula." Eminyakeni embalwa ngemuva kokukhethwa kwakhe esihlalweni sikaPeter, wathi:
Kwangathi kungasa wonke umuntu isikhathi sokuthula nenkululeko, isikhathi seqiniso, sobulungiswa nethemba. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, umyalezo womsakazo ngesikhathi somcimbi wokuhlonishwa, ukubonga nokubekwa kuVirgin Mary Theotokos eBasilica yaseSaint Mary Major: Isegnamenti kaGiovanni Paolo II, IV, iVatican City, 1981, 1246; Umyalezo kaFatima, www.vatican.ca
Kubonakala sengathi siwela ngalezo zinsuku. Yebo, ukuwela. Izinhlupheko zalesi sikhathi samanje ngeke ziqhathanise nesikhathi sokuthula uNkulunkulu azonikeza ngaso iBandla Lakhe — isibikezelo esikhulu kakhulu senjabulo yaphakade yaseZulwini elinde abahambi abethembekile bomhlaba. Yilokhu okumele sibhekise amehlo ethu kukho, futhi sithandaze ngendlela engakaze yenzeke ngaphambili yokuthi sizohamba nemiphefumulo eminingi kakhulu singene nabo "ezweni lesithembiso."
Siyavuma ukuthi umbuso sathenjiswa umhlaba phezu komhlaba, yize wawungakabi khona ezulwini, kuphela kwesinye isimo sokubakhona; njengoba kuzoba njalo emva kovuko lweminyaka eyinkulungwane edolobheni laseJerusalema elakhiwe ngokwaphezulu… Sithi lo muzi unikezwe uNkulunkulu ukuthola abangcwele ngovuko lwabo, futhi uvuselele ngabo ngobuningi bazo zonke izibusiso ezingokomoya zangempela , njengembuyiselo yalabo esikudelele noma sakulahla… —UTertullian (155-240 AD), Ubaba weSonto laseNicene; U-Adversus Marcion, u-Ante-Nicene Fathers, uHenrickson Publishers, 1995, Vol. 3, kk. 342-343)
Ekugcineni kuphela, lapho ulwazi lwethu oluyingxenye luphela, lapho sibona uNkulunkulu "ubuso nobuso", lapho sizokwazi khona ngokuphelele izindlela ngazo — ngisho nangamadrama wobubi nesono — uNkulunkulu aholele indalo yakhe kulokho kuphumula okucacile kweSabatha owadala izulu nomhlaba. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 314
