U-Eliya

HE wayengomunye wabaprofethi abanethonya elikhulu eTestamenteni Elidala. Empeleni, ukuphela kwakhe lapha emhlabeni kucishe kube yinganekwane esezingeni njengoba, ... akazange abe nokuphela.

Kwathi besahamba bexoxa, kwaqhamuka inqola evutha amalangabi namahhashi avutha amalangabi, u-Eliya wakhuphukela ezulwini esivunguvungwini. (Ukufundwa kokuqala kwangoLwesithathu)

Isiko lifundisa ukuthi u-Eliya wayiswa “epharadesi” lapho agcinwe khona enkohlakalweni, kodwa nokuthi indima yakhe emhlabeni ayikapheli.

Wenyuselwa phezulu esivunguvungwini somlilo, enqoleni enamahhashi omlilo. Wawumiselwe, kulotshiwe, esikhathini esizayo ukuqeda ulaka ngaphambi kosuku lweNkosi, Ukubuyisa izinhliziyo zawoyise kubantwana babo, nokumisa kabusha izizwe zikaJakobe. (Ukufundwa kokuqala kwangoLwesine)

Umprofethi uMalaki naye unanela lendikimba, enikeza isikhathi esiqonde ngqo:

Manje ngithuma kini u-Eliya umprofethi, lungakafiki usuku lweNkosi, usuku olukhulu nolwesabekayo; Uyakuphendulela izinhliziyo zawoyise emadodaneni abo, nezinhliziyo zamadodana koyise, funa ngifike, ngilishaye izwe ngokubhujiswa. (Mal 3: 23-24)

Ngakho-ke, ama-Israyeli ayelindele kakhulu ukuthi u-Eliya uzoba ngumuntu ovelele ozoletha ukubuyiselwa kuka-Israyeli, amemezele ekubuseni kukaMesiya owayelindelekile. Ngakho-ke phakathi nenkonzo kaJesu, abantu babevame ukungabaza ukuthi wayengu-Eliya ngempela yini. Kwathi lapho iNkosi yethu ibethelwa esiphambanweni, abantu baze bamemeza bathi, “Yima, ake sibheke ukuthi u-Eliya uza yini ukuzomsindisa.” ^[1]isib. Mat 27:49

Ithemba lokuthi u-Elijah uzobuya selichazwe ngokusobala koFata BeSonto Nodokotela. Futhi hhayi u-Eliya kuphela, kodwa no-Enoke, naye ongafanga, kodwayahunyushelwa epharadesi, ukuze anikeze izizwe ukuphenduka." ^[2]isib. USiraki 44:16; UDouay-Rheims USt. Irenaeus (140-202 AD), owayengumfundi waseSt. Polycarp, owayengumfundi oqondile woMphostoli uJohn, wabhala:

Abafundi babaPhostoli bathi bona (u-Enoke no-Elija) izidumbu zabo eziphakanyisiwe emhlabeni, zibekwe epharadesi lasemhlabeni, lapho zizohlala khona kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba. —USt. U-Irenaeus, Ama-Adersus Haereses, ILiber 4, iCap. 30

USt. Thomas Aquinas ukuqinisekisile ukuthi:

U-Eliya wakhuliselwa phezulu emoyeni, hhayi ezulwini lombuso, okuyindawo yokuhlala yabaNgcwele, futhi u-Enoke wathathwa wayiswa epharadesi lomhlaba, lapho yena no-Eliya, kukholakala ukuthi, bayohlala ndawonye kuze kufike ukufika Umphikukristu. -ISumma Theologica, iii, Q. xlix, ubuciko. 5

Ngakho-ke, oFata beSonto babheka u-Eliya no-Enoch njengokugcwaliseka 'kofakazi ababili' abachazwe kusAmbulo 11.

Ofakazi ababili-ke bazoshumayela iminyaka emithathu nohhafu; noMphikukristu uyokwenza impi nabangcwele phakathi nesonto lonke, achithe umhlaba ... - UHippolytus, uBaba weSonto, Imisebenzi Engaphezulu Nezingcezu zeHippolytus, "Incazelo kaHippolytus, umbhishobhi waseRoma, yemibono kaDaniel noNebukadinesari, ithathwe ngokuhlangana", n.39

Kodwa kuthiwani ngamazwi kaJesu mayelana no-Eliya njengasevele efikile?

“U-Eliya uzofika nempela abuyisele zonke izinto; Kepha ngithi kini: U-Eliya usefikile, kepha abamazanga yena, kodwa benza kuye konke abakuthandayo. Kanjalo neNdodana yomuntu iyakuhlushwa ezandleni zabo. ” Khona abafundi baqonda ukuthi ubekhuluma kubo ngoJohane uMbhapathizi. (Math 17: 11-13)

UJesu unikeza impendulo uqobo: U-Eliya izofika futhi uye vele woza. Lokho wukuthi, ukubuyiselwa kukaJesu kwaqala ngempilo yaKhe, ukufa, nokuvuka Kwakhe, okwamenyezelwa nguJohane uMbhapathizi. Kepha kungokwakhe umzimba ongaqondakali lokho kuletha umsebenzi wokuhlengwa uphele, futhi yilokhu okuzomenyezelwa yindoda, u-Eliya. Umprofethi uMalaki uthi uzofika ngaphambi "usuku lweNkosi", okungesilo isikhathi samahora angama-24, kepha ngokomfanekiso kubhekiselwa kulo ngokomBhalo ngokuthi "iminyaka eyinkulungwane." ^[3]qhathanisa Izinsuku Ezimbili Ezengeziwe “Isikhathi sokuthula” ngaleso sikhathi, kungukubuyiselwa kweSonto nomhlaba, ukulungiswa koMlobokazi kaKrestu abasizwa oFakazi Ababili ngokuletha ukungenelela kwabo okuyisimangaliso lapho kuphakama ububi.

… Lapho iNdodana yokuBhubha isidonsele enhlosweni yakhe umhlaba wonke, kuzothunyelwa u-Enoke no-Eliya ukuze badubule uMubi. —USt. U-Ephrem, Isi-Syri, III, Kol. 188, Sermo II; isib. inkungu.org

Kungaphambi koSuku lweNkosi, noma okungenani isiqephu salo, lapho u-Eliya ezobonakala futhi aphendulele izinhliziyo zawoyise emadodaneni abo, okungukuthi, amaJuda eNdodaneni, uJesu Kristu. ^[4]qhathanisa Igagasi Elizayo Leyunithiy Ngokufanayo, u-Enoke uzoshumayeza abeZizwe “kuze kufike isibalo esigcwele sabezizwe”. ^[5]isib. Rom 11: 25

U-Enoke no-Eliya… baphila namanje futhi bazophila baze bafike ekuphikiseni uMphikukristu uqobo, nokulonda abakhethiweyo ekukholweni kukaKristu, futhi ekugcineni bazoguqula amaJuda, futhi kuqinisekile ukuthi lokhu akukakagcwaliseki. —USt. URobert Bellarmine, Liber Tertius, Ikhasi 434

Kepha njengoba uJohane uMbhapathizi “wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kwasesizalweni sikanina” futhi waya phambili “ngomoya nasemandleni kaElija”, ngokunjalo nami ngiyakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uvusa ibutho elincane “lofakazi”. Imiphefumulo eyakhiwa esibelethweni sikaMama Wethu Obusisiwe ukuphuma emoyeni nangamandla ngaphansi kwe isembatho esingokwesiprofetho likaElija, likaJohane uMbhabhathizi. UPapa uPapa John XXIII wayengomunye walabo mphefumulo owazizwa ebizelwe ukuqala ukubuyiselwa kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu, ukubenza babe ngabantu abangcwele abalungele ukuhlangana noMyeni:

Umsebenzi kaPapa John othobekile “ukulungiselela iNkosi abantu abaphelele,” ofana ncamashi nomsebenzi wombhabhadisi, ongumlandeli wakhe nokuthi uthatha igama lakhe kuye. Futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthi ucabange ukuphelela okuphakeme futhi okuyigugu kunalokho lokunqoba kokuthula kobuKristu, okuwukuthula enhliziyweni, ukuthula ngokuhleleka kwezenhlalo, empilweni, impilo kahle, ukuhloniphana nobuzwe bezizwe . —UPOPA JOHN XXIII, Ukuthula KwamaKristu Wangempela, Disemba 23, 1959; www

Kuyaphawuleka futhi ukuthi uMama wethu waseMedjugorje kuthiwa ungene ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “Indlovukazi Yokuthula ”- izibuko ezaqala ngosuku lomkhosi kaJohane uMbhapathizi. Zonke lezi zibonakaliso zingaba ngabanduleli bezikhathi lapho u-Eliya ebuya, futhi mhlawumbe ngokushesha okukhulu kunokuba abaningi becabanga.

Njengomlilo kwaqhamuka umprofethi u-Eliya, onamazwi anjengomlilo ovuthayo… Umlilo uhamba phambi kwakhe uqothula izitha zakhe nxazonke. Imibani yakhe ikhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba uyabona, uthuthumela;. (Ukufundwa kokuqala kwangoLwesine neHubo)
