Sewero lomaliza? Ndi bwino kukonzekera izo. Ndi Kai Mester

Pamene Khoma la Berlin linagwa mu 1989, sindinakhulupirire. Maonedwe anga a dziko anagwa. Malingaliro adziko lapansi omwe sindikanatha kuyanjanitsa ndi chikhulupiliro changa cha zochitika za nthawi yotsiriza kuchokera ku Chivumbulutso chifukwa Nkhondo Yozizira ya dziko la bipolar sinalole kulamulira kwapadziko lonse lapansi ndi Wokana Kristu. Izi zinatsatiridwa ndi kugwa kwa Soviet Union ndi kuchepa kwa chikomyunizimu cha boma.

Pamene Pangano la Good Friday Agreement linathetsa nkhondo yachiwawa ku Northern Ireland mu 1998, ndinangogwedeza mutu. Nkhondo yomaliza pakati pa Akatolika ndi Apulotesitanti inatha. Izi zikanayembekezeredwa potengera maulosi a pa Chivumbulutso 13, kumene utsogoleri wachipembedzo wapadziko lonse ukulengezedwa kwa onse.

Pamene ndege zinagwera pa World Trade Center mu 2001, sindinakhulupirirenso. Kodi ndili mufilimu yolakwika? Malingaliro anga adziko lapansi adasweka. Lingaliro ladziko lonse la USA womasuka, yemwe palibe amene angagwiritse ntchito molakwika dongosolo lankhanza la Chivumbulutso 13. Guantanamo ndi nkhondo ya drone inatsatira.

Pamene Papa Benedict adasiya ntchito mwadzidzidzi mu 2013 ndipo Papa Francis adasankhidwa, dziko lapansi lidadabwa: Mjesuiti ngati Papa! Ndipo adatulutsa Roma m'chigwacho poganiza kuti idamira pansi pa Benedict chifukwa cha chipongwe. Chithunzi chonyezimira cha Francis tsopano chikuwonetsa chiyembekezo pamaso pa ambiri pakati pa misala yandale pamitu. Francis amalemekezedwa ndi anthu padziko lonse lapansi monganso papa wina aliyense, ndipo maulaliki ake nthawi zina amakhala abwino komanso ozama kuposa ambiri m'madera athu.

Ndipo tsopano? ... 2017 ikubwera ... Gawo la zochitika zomaliza likupitirizabe kumanga.

Filimuyi Hacksaw Ridge ikuwonetsedwa m'makanema padziko lonse lapansi. Wotsogolera Mel Gibson ndi Mkatolika. Munthu wamkulu mufilimuyi ndi Desmond Doss, Seventh-day Adventist yekha komanso wosamenyana kuti alandire Medal of Honor (1945), mphoto yankhondo yapamwamba kwambiri ku United States.

Nthawi yomweyo, boma latsopano pansi pa a Donald Trump likupanga ku White House. Abwenzi ake apamtima ndi mamembala a nduna ali m'matchalitchi osiyanasiyana osunga Lamlungu (Greek Orthodox, Katolika, Reformed, Presbyterian, Methodist, ndi zina zotero). Koma chimodzi chodziwika bwino: Seventh-day Adventist Ben Carson, yemwe adalandira Medal of Freedom mu 2008, imodzi mwa mphotho ziwiri zapamwamba kwambiri ku United States.

Mlangizi wofunika kwambiri wa Donald Trump, katswiri wake wamkulu Stephen Bannon, adaphunzitsidwa ndi amonke ndipo ali ndi digiri ya masters kuchokera ku yunivesite ya Jesuit Georgetown. Wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wa Trump akudzifotokoza yekha ngati Mkatolika wachikatolika, dzina lomwe likadakhala lotsutsana kale.

Panthawi yachisankho, a Donald Trump adalengeza kuti chipembedzo ndi Chikhristu ziyenera kuchitanso ndale zambiri. Akufunanso mgwirizano ndi Akatolika ndi Evangelicals.

Nkhani zingapo za atolankhani zikukamba za kufanana kwakukulu pakati pa Papa Francis ndi Donald Trump. Onsewa ndi otchuka ndi anthu wamba ndipo amagwedeza masitolo awo. Monga Lutera, iwo amayankhula chinenero cha anthu ndi kuswa miyambo yakale.

Mu 2017 dziko lonse lachikhristu lidzakondwerera zaka 500 za kukonzanso. Pa Okutobala 31, 1517, Martin Luther anaika mfundo zake 95 pa Tchalitchi cha Wittenberg Castle ndipo anatenga udindo wa Papa. Koma tsopano ngakhale Papa Francis akukondwerera! Chifukwa nayenso akufuna kugwirizana ndi Chikristu chonse.

Inde, ndi siteji bwanji! Mbiri ya dziko lapansi yakhala ikudikirira izi kwa nthawi yayitali. Kodi takonzekera zochitika zaposachedwapa? Kukhulupirika kokha muzinthu zazing'ono kumatikonzekeretsa izi.

Desmond Doss anali woona ku zikhulupiriro zake motero anakhala chitsanzo kwa anthu ambiri. Mbiri ya moyo wa Ben Carson inapangidwanso kukhala filimu. Kutembenuka kwake kuchoka ku mkwiyo wofulumira kupita ku khalidwe lofatsa ndi manja opangira opaleshoni sikunabisike. Kuyambira tsopano, iye mwina adzakhala pamaso pa anthu mu nthawi yeniyeni monga kale, monga munthu wakuda yekha mu nduna Donald Trump ndi yekha amene anakulira mu gulu osauka.

Kaya mawu a Moredekai adzakwaniritsidwa mwa iye, akuti: “Musaganize kuti mudzapulumutsa moyo wanu chifukwa muli m’gulu la nduna za pulezidenti wa United States, inu nokha pa a Adventist onse. Pakuti ngati mukhala chete pa nthawi ino, thandizo ndi chipulumutso zidzafika kwa Adventist kuchokera kumalo ena. Koma iwe ndi nyumba ya atate wako mudzawonongeka. Ndipo ndani akudziwa ngati sunakhale mtumiki nthawi ino?” (Esitere 4,13:14-2017 ndi Luther XNUMX mofotokozera mofotokozera)?

Kodi Ben Carson atenga mbali iyi pakukwaniritsidwa kwa eschatological kwa buku la Esther? Zaka zinayi mpaka zisanu ndi zitatu zotsatira zidzanena.

Mkamwini wa a Donald Trump a Jared Kushner amachokera kubanja lachiyuda la Orthodox. Mkazi wake Ivanka ndi mwana wamkazi wapafupi kwambiri ndi Donald Trump. Iye anatembenukira ku Chiyuda asanakwatire, ndipo banja lake liri lokhulupirika kwambiri ku Sabata kotero kuti siliimba kapena kulandira mafoni kwa maola 25 kuyambira madzulo Lachisanu madzulo mpaka madzulo Loweruka ndi kudzipereka kotheratu kwa ana awo atatu.

Mbali iyi ikuperekanso funso la eschatological la Sabata-Lamlungu kukhudza kosangalatsa.

Mmodzi amakhala ndi malingaliro akuti wotsogolera waluso akukonzekera filimu yotsatira yopatsa chidwi, nthawi ino zonse zikuwoneka ngati sizikhala zopeka, osati zakale, koma zenizeni zenizeni.

Poyamba zingakhale zosangalatsa komanso zosangalatsa. Koma idzafika nthawi imene idzakhala yosasangalatsa kwa aliyense padziko lapansi - kwa ena posachedwa, kwa ena pambuyo pake - chifukwa umunthu watsala pang'ono kuyendetsa dziko lapansi pakhoma.

Chifukwa chake ndili ndi pempho lofulumira:

Phunzirani Mawu a Mulungu (makamaka maulosi a m’Baibulo); kusintha kwambiri moyo wanu ngati pali zinthu zomwe mumachitabe motsutsana ndi chikumbumtima chanu; funani Mulungu m’pemphero kuti muzindikire ndi kukwaniritsa ntchito yanu yapayekha (gawo ndi sitepe); ndipo nyamukani ku madalitso anu athunthu mu gawo la chikoka chomwe Mulungu wakupatsani! Aliyense amene amasewera kwa nthawi tsopano ali pachiwopsezo chosowa sitimayo ndikukokera anthu ambiri pansi nawo omwe akanapulumutsidwa.
