IN ubudala beqhwa langaphambilini, imiphumela yokuphola komhlaba jikelele yayilimaza ezifundeni eziningi. Izinkathi ezincane zokukhula zaholela ezitshalweni ezingaphumelelanga, indlala nendlala, futhi ngenxa yalokho, izifo, ubumpofu, izimpi zombango, uguquko, ngisho nempi. Njengoba uvele wafunda ku Ubusika Bokusishayelwa Kwethu, bobabili ososayensi neNkosi yethu babikezela lokho okubonakala kungukuqala kwenye “inkathi encane yeqhwa.” Uma kunjalo, kungakhanyisa okusha ngokuthi kungani uJesu akhuluma ngalezi zibonakaliso ekupheleni kwenkathi (futhi empeleni kuyisifinyezo IziMpawu eziyisiKhombisa zeRevolution futhi okukhulunywa ngakho nguSt. John):
Isizwe siyovukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso. Kuyoba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla, indlala, nezifo ezindaweni ngezindawo; futhi izinto ezesabekayo nezibonakaliso ezinamandla zizovela ezulwini… Konke lokhu kungukuqala kwemihelo. (Luka 21: 10-11, Mat 24: 7-8)
Kodwa-ke, kunento enhle okufanele ilandelwe lapho uJesu ethulisa lesi siphepho samanje — hhayi ukuphela komhlaba, kodwa ukuqinisekiswa weVangeli:
… Oqinisela kuze kube sekupheleni uyakusindiswa. Futhi leli vangeli lombuso lizoshunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke njengobufakazi ezizweni zonke, khona-ke ukuphela kuyofika. (Math 24: 13-14)
Ngempela, ku iMisa lokuqala lanamuhla efunda, umprofethi u-Isaya ubona kusengaphambili isikhathi esizayo lapho “uNkulunkulu eyoletha isikhathi seZiyoni lapho ezothethelela konke ukona futhi aphulukise konke ukugula”[1]Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1502 nokuthi uMesiya uzoduduza izizwe zonke njengoba zigobhozela zibheke “eJerusalema.” Kungukuqala “kwesikhathi sokuthula” esandulelwaisahlulelo”Wezizwe. KwiTestamente Elisha, iZiyoni liwuphawu lweSonto, "iJerusalema Elisha."
Ezinsukwini ezizayo intaba yendlu kaJehova iyakumiswa njengentaba ephakeme kakhulu, iphakanyiswe ngaphezu kwamagquma. Zonke izizwe ziyakugobhozela khona… Ngokuba ukuyala kuyakuphuma eSiyoni, nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema. Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe, abeke imigomo kubantu abaningi. Bayakukhanda izinkemba zabo zibe-ngamakhuba, nemikhonto yabo ibe-ngocelemba; isizwe esisodwa asiyikuphakamisela inkemba kwesinye, futhi abayikuphinda baqeqeshele impi futhi. (Isaya 2: 1-5)
Ngokusobala, ingxenye yokugcina yalesi siprofetho isazogcwaliseka.
Ngoba izimfihlakalo zikaJesu azikenziwa ngokuphelele futhi zigcwaliseke. Aphelele, empeleni, asesimweni sikaJesu, kodwa hhayi kithi, angamalungu akhe, noma eSontweni, okuwumzimba wakhe ongaqondakali. —St. UJohn Elies, qaphela "EMbusweni KaJesu", Imfundo yamahora, IVol IV, ikhasi 559
Kukhona “ukunqoba” okuseza okuzoba nemiphumela emhlabeni wonke. Kuza “ubungcwele obusha nobungcwele”UNkulunkulu azothwesa ngalo iSonto umqhele ukuze aqinisekise izwi lakhe“ njengofakazi ezizweni zonke ”futhi alungiselele uMlobokazi Wakhe ukufika kokugcina kukaJesu enkazimulweni. Lokhu, empeleni, bekuyinjongo eyisisekelo yokucela uMkhandlu Wesibili weVatican:
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 . —I-POPE ST. JOHN XXIII, Ukuthula KwamaKristu Wangempela, Disemba 23, 1959; www
Kungukugcwaliseka kombono ka-Isaya weNkathi Yokuthula, ngokusho kweMagisterium:
… Ithemba lokunqoba okukhulu kukaKristu lapha emhlabeni ngaphambi kokuphela kokuphela kwezinto zonke. Isenzeko esinjalo asishiywanga ngaphandle, asinakwenzeka, akusikho konke okuqinisekile ukuthi ngeke kube khona isikhathi eside sobuKristu obunqobayo ngaphambi kokuphela. -Imfundiso yeSonto LamaKhatholika: Isifingqo seMfundiso yamaKhatholika, ILondon Burns Oates & Washbourne, k. 1140
ISonto lamaKatolika, elingumbuso kaKristu emhlabeni, kulindeleke ukuba lisatshalaliswe phakathi kwabo bonke abantu nezizwe zonke… —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ama-Quas Primas, I-Encyclical, n. 12, Disemba 11, 1925; cf. Math 24:14
U-Isaya ubona izizwe zigobhozela “endlini” eyodwa, okungukuthi, iSonto elilodwa lapho bazothatha khona iZwi likaNkulunkulu elingekasetshenziswanga eligcinwe kuMkhuba Ongcwele.
"Bazolizwa izwi lami, kube-yisibaya esisodwa nomalusi munye." Kwangathi uNkulunkulu… maduze angagcwalisa isiprofetho sakhe sokuguqula lo mbono oduduzayo wekusasa ube yiqiniso lamanje… Kungumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukuletha lelihora elijabulisayo futhi ukwenze kwaziwa yibo bonke… Lapho lifika, kuzokwenzeka ukuthi kube yihora elinamandla, elikhulu elilodwa elinemiphumela hhayi kuphela lokubuyiselwa koMbuso kaKristu, kodwa ukumiswa kwe ... komhlaba. Sithandaza kakhulu, futhi sicela abanye ngokufanayo ukuba bathandazele lokhu kuphakanyiswa komphakathi okufiswa kakhulu. —I-POPE PIUS XI, Ubi Arcani dei Consilioi “Ekuthuleni KukaKristu eMbusweni wakhe”, Disemba 23, 1922
Uma sibheka konke okwashiwo izulu nomhlaba ngekhulu elidlule, kubukeka ngathi singena Ukwahlulelwa kwabaphilayo okukhulunywa ngaye ku-Isaya naseNcwadini Yesambulo futhi, ezikhathini zethu, ngo ISt. Faustina. Lokhu kwenzeka ngqo ngaphambi kweNkathi Yokuthula (okuyi “Usuku lweNkosi“). Futhi-ke, bafowethu nodadewethu, asigcineni lo mbono oduduzayo phambi kwethu — nokuyinto esingalindelekile ngokuza koMbuso kaNkulunkulu ngesimo esisha.
Ngithe “ukunqoba” kuzosondela… Lokhu kulingana ngokulingana nokuthandazela kwethu ukufika koMbuso kaNkulunkulu. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, k. 166, Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald (Ignatius Press)
Kubuye kube ukunqoba kukaMarian kwazise lezi zimfihlakalo zazivele zifezekisiwe nangeNcasakazi uMariya iSonto elibiza ngokuthi “Indodakazi yaseSiyoni.”
Kukuyena njengoMama noModeli okumele iSonto libheke ukuze liqonde ngokuphelele incazelo yenjongo yalo. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, I-Redemptoris Mater, hhayi. 37
Ukunqoba “kowesifazane ogqoke ilanga” kuqala manje njengoba simamukela futhi sivula izinhliziyo zethu ukwamukela uJesu, ambiza ngokuthi “ilangabi” le-Immaculate Heart yakhe. 
Ngempela, kuyilangabi akukho "inkathi yeqhwa," akukho siphepho, akukho mpi noma amahemuhemu ezimpi angacima. Ngoba ukufika koMbuso kaNkulunkulu ngaphakathi…
Ngizohlala ngiseduze kwakho eSiphepho manje esibuya. Ngingunyoko. Ngingakusiza futhi ngifuna ukukwenza! Uzobona yonke indawo ukukhanya kweLangabi Lami Lothando kuphuma njengokuphazima kombani kukhanyise iZulu nomhlaba, futhi engizokhipha ngawo umlilo ngisho nemiphefumulo emnyama nemnyama... Leli Flame eligcwele izibusiso eziphuma enhliziyweni yami Engaphelele, futhi engikunika lona, kufanele lisuke enhliziyweni liye enhliziyweni. Kuzoba yisimangaliso esikhulu sokukhanya okuphuphuthekisa uSathane… Isikhukhula esikhulu sezibusiso esiseduze nokuzamazamisa umhlaba kumele siqale ngenani elincane lemiphefumulo ethobeke kakhulu. Umuntu ngamunye othola lo mlayezo kufanele awuthole njengesimemo futhi akekho okufanele aphatheke kabi noma awuzibe… —Imilayezo evunyelwe evela ku-Virgin Mary Ebusisiwe iya ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann; bheka www.jumanspolga.org
Usuku lweNkosi lusondela. Konke kufanele kulungiselelwe. Zilungiselele emzimbeni, engqondweni nasemphefumulweni. Zihlanze. —USt. URaphael waya kuBarbara Rose Centilli, ngoFebhuwari 16, 1998
