NGAPHAMBILI IMisa emasontweni ambalwa edlule, bengizindla ngomqondo ojulile engibe nawo eminyakeni embalwa edlule yokuthi uNkulunkulu uqoqela imiphefumulo kuye, kunye ngakunye… Oyedwa lapha, omunye laphaya, noma ngubani ozokuzwa ukunxusa Kwakhe okuphuthumayo ukwamukela isipho sempilo yeNdodana Yakhe… kube sengathi thina bavangeli sidoba ngezingwegwe manje, kunamanethi.
Ngokungazelelwe, amagama afika engqondweni yami:
Inani labeZizwe selicishe lagcwaliswa.
Lokhu, yiqiniso, kusekelwe emiBhalweni:
… Ukuqina sekufikile ku-Israyeli ngokwengxenye, kuze kufike inani eliphelele labezizwe, ngakho-ke wonke u-Israyeli uzosindiswa. (Rom 11: 25-26)
Lolo suku lapho "inombolo ephelele" ifinyelelwa kungenzeka iyeza maduze. UNkulunkulu uqoqa umphefumulo owodwa lapha, umphefumulo munye lapho… ukha amagilebhisi ambalwa okugcina ekupheleni kwesizini. Ngakho-ke, kungaba yisizathu sombango okhulayo wezepolitiki nodlame oluzungeze u-Israyeli… isizwe esimiselwe ukuvuna, esimiselwe 'ukusindiswa', njengoba uNkulunkulu athembisa esivumelwaneni saKhe.
UKUMAKISHWA KWEMIPHEFUMULO
Ngiyaphinda futhi ukuthi ngizwa i ukuphuthuma ukuze siphenduke ngokujulile futhi sibuyele kuNkulunkulu. Esontweni eledlule, lokhu kuye kwanda. Kungumqondo wokwehlukana okwenzeka emhlabeni, futhi futhi, kuhlanganiswe nombono wokuthi i- Uzimisele imiphefumulo iyahlukaniswa. Ngifisa ukuphindaphinda igama elithile eligcizelelwe enhliziyweni yami engxenyeni yokuqala:
INkosi iyahlunga, ukwahlukana kuyakhula, futhi imiphefumulo ibekwa uphawu ukuthi ikhonza bani.
UHezekeli 9 weqa ekhasini kuleli sonto.
Dlula phakathi komuzi [udabule iJerusalema] bese umaka u-X emabunzini alabo abalusizi ngazo zonke izinengiso ezenziwa kuwo. Kwabanye ngamuzwa ethi: Dabula phakathi komuzi emva kwakhe ushaye! Ungabheki kubo ngesihawu noma ubonise umusa! Amadoda amadala, intsha nezintombi, abesifazane nezingane — zibaqede! Kepha ungathinti noma yikuphi okumakwe nge-X; qala endlini yami engcwele.
Ungoni umhlaba noma ulwandle noma izihlahla size sibeke uphawu emabunzini ezinceku zikaNkulunkulu wethu. (IsAm 7: 3)
Njengoba ngihambile ngaya eNyakatho Melika eminyakeni emithathu edlule, inhliziyo yami ibishisa ngomqondo wokuthi "igagasi lenkohliso" lidlula emhlabeni. Labo abaphephela enhliziyweni kaNkulunkulu "baphephile" futhi bavikelekile. Labo abenqaba izimfundiso zikaKristu njengoba zembulwe eSontweni Lakhe, futhi benqaba umthetho kaNkulunkulu obhalwe ezinhliziyweni zabo, bangaphansi "komoya wezwe."
Ngalokho uNkulunkulu uthumela kubo inkohliso enamandla, ukubenza bakholwe ngamanga, ukuze kuthi bonke abangakholwanga yiqiniso kepha bajabula ngokungalungi balahlwe. (2 Thes. 2:11)
UNkulunkulu ufisa lokho akekho olahlekile, Lokho konke ngisindiswe. Yini uBaba angayenzanga eminyakeni eyi-2000 edlule ukunqoba impucuko? Yeka ukubekezela akukhombisile kulelikhulu leminyaka elidlule njengoba besidalula izimpi zomhlaba ezimbili, ububi bokukhipha isisu, nezinye izinengiso eziningi ngesikhathi esifanayo sihlekisa ngobuKristu!
INkosi ayilibali isithembiso sayo, njengoba abanye bethi "ukubambezeleka," kepha iyanibekezelela, ingathandi ukuthi kubhubhe noma ngubani kodwa bonke baphenduke. (2 Pet. 3: 9)
Futhi-ke, sisenenkululeko yokuzikhethela, ukukhetha ukuphika uNkulunkulu:
Lowo okholwa kuye akalahlwa; ongakholwayo uselahliwe, ngokuba engakholwanga egameni leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa. (Johane 3:18)
Futhi-ke, yisikhathi se- ukukhetha: isivuno sesifikile. UPapa John Paul II wayeqonde ngqo:
Manje sibhekene nengxabano yokugcina phakathi kweBandla nabamelene neBandla, leVangeli kanye ne-anti-Gospel. -Wengezwa kuBishop baseMelika eminyakeni emibili ngaphambi kokuba akhethwe njengopapa; Ishicilelwe kabusha kaNovemba 9, 1978, ka The Wall Street Journal.
Ngabe umuntu kufanele abe ngumprofethi ukuze akubone lokhu? Akucaci yini ukuthi imigqa ehlukanisayo idonswa phakathi kwezizwe namasiko, phakathi kwesiko lokufa kanye nesiko lempilo? Cishe eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu edlule, uPapa Paul VI wafakaza ekuqaleni kwalezi zikhathi:
Umsila kasathane usebenza ekuhlakazekeni komhlaba wamaKhatholika. Ubumnyama bukaSathane bungene basabalala kulo lonke iSonto LamaKhatholika kuze kufike esiqongweni salo. Ukuhlubuka, ukulahleka kokholo, kusakazeka emhlabeni wonke kuya emazingeni aphakeme kakhulu eSontweni. -UPapa Paul VI, Okthoba 13, 1977
Kwabonakala esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini; bheka udrako omkhulu obomvu…. Umsila wakhe washanela ingxenye yesithathu yezinkanyezi zezulu; wabaphonsa emhlabeni. (IsAm 12: 3)
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. —UPapa Paul VI, Imfihlo UPaul VI, UJean Guitton
Isijeziso ESIZAYO.
Noma nini lapho uzwa izwi emlonyeni wami, kufanele ubatshele baxwayise kimi. Uma ngithi komubi: Uyakufa nokufa; futhi awumxwayisi noma ukhulume ukumyekisa ezenzweni zakhe ezimbi ukuze aphile. Lowo muntu omubi uzofela isono sakhe, kepha mina ngiyakukubeka icala ngokufa kwakhe. (Hezekeli 3: 18)
Ngithola izincwadi ezivela kubapristi, abadikoni, nabantu abavamile abavela emhlabeni wonke, futhi igama liyafana: "Kukhona okuzayo!"
Siyibona endalweni, engikholwa ukuthi ikhombisa izinhlekelele endaweni yokuziphatha / yomoya. ISonto liye labanjwa ihlazo namahlubuka; izwi lakhe alizwakali. Umhlaba ukhula ngokungabi namthetho, kusuka ebugebengwini obuningi obunodlame, uye esizweni esiphatha ngokumelene nezizwe ngaphandle komthetho wamazwe omhlaba. Isayensi idilize imigoqo yokuziphatha ngokusebenzisa ubunjiniyela bezakhi zofuzo, ukwakheka kwezakhi kanye nokunganakwa kwempilo yomuntu. Imboni yezomculo ifake ushevu kubuciko bayo yalahlekelwa nobuhle bayo. Ezikaqedisizungu seziguqukele kwisisekelo samatimu namahlaya. Abasubathi abangochwepheshe nama-CEO enkampani bakhokhelwa imiholo engalingani. Abakhiqizi bakawoyela namabhange amakhulu bathola inzuzo enkulu ngenkathi besenga umthengi. Izizwe ezicebile zidla ngaphezu kwezidingo zazo njengoba kufa izinkulungwane nsuku zonke indlala. Ubhadane lwezithombe zobulili ezingcolile lungene cishe kuwo wonke amakhaya ngamakhompyutha. Futhi amadoda awasazi ukuthi angamadoda, nabesifazane, ukuthi bangabesifazane.
Ungayivumela i-w
orld ukuqhubeka ngale ndlela?
Umhlaba ungcolisiwe ngenxa yezakhamuzi zawo, ezeqe imithetho, zephula izimiso, zaphula isivumelwano sasendulo. Ngalokho isiqalekiso sidlile umhlaba, nabakhileyo kuwo bakhokhela icala labo; Ngakho-ke abahlala emhlabeni baphuphile, kwasala abantu abambalwa. (Isaya 24: 5)
Izulu, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, belilokhu lisixwayisa: umcimbi noma uchungechunge lwezehlakalo luyeza oluzophelisa, noma okungenani ukukhanyisa, okungenzeka ukuthi yibuphi ububi obungakaze bube khona kunanoma yisiphi isizukulwane emlandweni wesintu. Kuzoba yisikhathi esinzima esizoletha impilo njengoba siyazi ukuthi imile, sibheke ezinhliziyweni, futhi kube lula ukuphila.
Hlanza inhliziyo yakho kokubi, Jerusalema, ukuze usindiswe…. Ukuziphatha kwakho, ububi bakho, benzile lokhu kuwe; Yeka ukuthi mubi kangakanani le nhlekelele yakho, ukuthi ifinyelela kanjani enhliziyweni yakho! (Jer 4:14, 18)
Bafowethu nodadewethu — lezi zinto azembulwa kithi njengezinsongo ezivela kuNkulunkulu, kepha kunalokho njengezixwayiso lezo yethu ukuba nesono kuzosibhubhisa isintu ngaphandle kukhona ukungenelela okuvela esandleni Sakhe. Ngoba ngeke siphenduke, ukungenelela kumele kube nomthelela, yize lo mthelela ungancipha ngomthandazo. Isikhathi asisazi, kodwa izimpawu zisizungezile; Ngiphoqelekile ukumemeza "Namuhla usuku lwensindiso!"
Njengoba uJesu axwayisa, abayiziwula yilabo abaphuza ukugcwalisa amalambu abo ngamafutha — ngezinyembezi zokuphenduka — kuze kwephuze kakhulu. Manje-uphethe muphi uphawu ebunzini lakho?
Ingabe manje sengizincengela kubantu noma kuNkulunkulu? Noma ngifuna ukujabulisa abantu? Uma bengisazama ukujabulisa abantu, ngabe angiyona inceku kaKristu. (Gal 1:10)
INGELOSI ENENKemba EVUTHAYO
Siyazi ukuthi isintu sasisesikhathini esifanayo sokuguquka njengalesi ngaphambili. Kukusiphi isibonakaliso esidume kakhulu esamukelwa yiSonto esikhathi sethu, ababoni bakaFatima balandisa abakubonile:
… Sabona iNgelosi iphethe inkemba evutha ngesandla sayo sobunxele; ebenyezelayo, yakhipha amalangabi abukeka sengathi azoshisa umhlaba ngomlilo; kodwa bafa bahlangana nobukhazikhazi uMama Wethu awakhazimulisa kuye buvela esandleni sakhe sokudla: ekhomba umhlaba ngesandla sakhe sokudla, iNgelosi yamemeza ngezwi elikhulu: 'Ukuphenduka, Ukuphenduka, Ukuphenduka! '. -Ingxenye yesithathu yemfihlo kaFatima, kwembulwa eCova da Iria-Fatima, ngomhlaka 13 Julayi 1917; njengoba kuthunyelwe kuwebhusayithi yeVatican.
Kungenelele uMama wethu waseFatima. Kungenxa yokuncenga kwakhe ukuthi lesi sahlulelo asifikanga ngaleso sikhathi. Manje yethu isizukulwane sibonile ukwanda kwezibuko zikaMariya, isixwayisa futhi ngesahlulelo esinje ngenxa yesono esingachazeki sesikhathi sethu.
Isahlulelo esamenyezelwa yiNkosi uJesu [eVangelini likaMathewu isahluko 21] sibhekisa ngaphezu kwakho konke ekubhujisweni kweJerusalema ngonyaka wama-70. Nokho usongo lokwahlulelwa lusithinta nathi, iSonto laseYurophu, eYurophu kanye naseNtshonalanga jikelele. Ngaleli Vangeli, iNkosi futhi ikhala ezindlebeni zethu amazwi athi eNcwadini Yesambulo ayibhekise eBandleni Lase-Efesu: “Uma ungaphenduki ngizoza kuwe ngisuse uthi lwakho lwesibani endaweni yalo.” Light singasuswa kithina futhi senza kahle ukuvumela lesi sixwayiso sizwakale ngokuzimisela okukhulu ezinhliziyweni zethu, ngenkathi sikhala eNkosini: "Sisize siphenduke! Siphe sonke umusa wokuvuselelwa kwangempela! Ungavumeli ukukhanya kwakho phakathi kwethu kuzokucisha! Qinisa ukukholwa kwethu, ithemba lethu nothando lwethu, ukuze sithele izithelo ezinhle! ” -UPapa Benedict XVI, Kuvulwa uHomily, ISinodi Yababhishobhi, Okthoba 2, 2005, eRoma.
Umbuzo abanye abangaba nawo owokuthi, "Ngabe siphila esikhathini sokuhlanzwa kuphela, noma ingabe nathi siyisizukulwane esizobona ukubuya kukaJesu?" Angikwazi ukuphendula lokho. NguYise kuphela owazi usuku nehora, kepha njengoba sekukhonjisiwe, opapa besimanje bakhombise ukuthi kungenzeka. Engxoxweni kuleli sonto nomvangeli ovelele ongumKatolika e-United States, uthe "Zonke izingcezu zibonakala zikhona. Yilokho kuphela esikwaziyo ngempela." Akwanele yini lokho?
Ulele ngani? Sukuma ukhulekele ukuthi ungaze uvivinywe. (Luk 22:46)
ISIKHATHI SOMUSA
Umphefumulo wakho ubuzokuya kuphi kuze kube phakade uma namuhla bekuwusuku oshone ngalo? USt. Thomas Aquinas wayegcina ugebhezi etafuleni lakhe ukumkhumbuza ngokufa kwakhe, ukugcina umgomo wangempela phambi kwakhe. Leyo yinhloso ngemuva kwala "macilongo esixwayiso", ukusilungiselela ukuhlangana noNkulunkulu, noma nini lapho kungenzeka. UNkulunkulu umaka imiphefumulo: labo abakholelwa kuJesu, futhi abaphila ngokwemiyalo yakhe ayethembisa ukuthi izoletha "impilo echichimayo". Akusona usongo, kepha isimemo… isikhathi sisekhona.
Nginweba isikhathi somusa ngenxa [yezoni]…. Ngenkathi isikhathi sisekhona, mabavumele usizo emthonjeni womusa Wami… Lowo owenqaba ukudlula ngomnyango womusa Wami kumele adlule ngomnyango wobulungiswa Bami. -Idayari kaSt Faustina, 1160, 848, 1146
“Kepha manje,” usho uJehova, “buyelani kimi ngenhliziyo yenu yonke, ngokuzila ukudla, nangokukhala, nangokulila, niklebhule izinhliziyo zenu, hhayi izingubo zenu, nibuyele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu. Ngoba unomusa nobumnene, uyephuza ukuthukuthela, ucebile ngomusa, uzisola ngokujezisa. Mhlawumbe uzophinde abuye futhi ashiye isibusiso ngemuva kwakhe (Joweli 2: 12-14)
