U-Ellen White ujonge kwikamva. NguKai Mester

Ixesha lokufunda: imizuzu emi-5

U-Ellen White, umama owasungula iCawa ye-Seventh-day Adventist, wayeneminyaka engama-33 ubudala xa kwaqala iMfazwe yaseMelika yaseMelika. Amazwe asemantla nakumazantsi eUnited States aye ahlukana ngenxa yombandela wobukhoboka. UAbraham Lincoln wayenyulwe njengoMongameli kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa ngaphambili. Ekupheleni kwemfazwe, ubukhoboka buya kupheliswa eUnited States. Kodwa emva konyaka, phakathi kwemfazwe, u-Ellen White ujonge kwikamva kwaye ubhala:

Indima yeNgilani ekuqhambukeni kweMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala

Ndaboniswa ukuba ukuba injongo yale mfazwe ibikukuphelisa ubukhoboka, iNgilani ngeyingxamele ukuya kunceda amazwe asemantla ukuba ayefuna njalo. Kodwa iNgilani iziqonda kakuhle iinjongo zikarhulumente. Iyazi ukuba akukho malunga nokupheliswa kobukhoboka, kodwa malunga nokuqhubeka kobukho beManyano. Nangona kunjalo, iNgilani ayifuni ukuba igcinwe. Urhulumente wethu uyazingca kakhulu ngokuzimela kwakhe. Abantu besi sizwe bazincomela esibhakabhakeni kwaye bazijongela phantsi iikumkani ngendelelo. Iqhayisa ngenkululeko yayo, nangona iliqhwabel’ izandla yaye ilixabisa iziko lobukhoboka, imbi ngokuphindwe kaliwaka kunobuzwilakhe bookumkani. Kweli lizwe lokhanyiselo, kuveliswa inkqubo evumela inxalenye yentsapho yoluntu ukuba ikhobokise enye inxalenye ize ithobe isidima sezigidi zabantu kwinqanaba lezilwanyana. Isono esinjalo asifumaneki nakumazwe obuhedeni.

Isithunywa sezulu sathi: “Yiva, mazulu, ukukhala kwabacinezelweyo, ubabuyekeze abacinezeli ngokuphindwe kabini ngokwezenzo zabo.” Aba bantu baseza kuthotywa kube luthuli!

INgilani ngoku iqwalasela ukuba ithathe ithuba lobuthathaka besizwe sethu kwaye iye kulwa nayo. Ilinganisa okuhle kunye nokubi kwaye izama ukuvavanya ezinye izizwe. INgilani yoyika ukuba imfazwe yaphesheya ingamenza buthathaka ekhaya [ukutshona kwemali okuzayo] kwaye ezinye iintlanga zazinokuxhakamfula. Ezinye izizwe zithe cwaka kodwa zilungiselela imfazwe, zinethemba lokuba iNgilani iya kulwa imfazwe nesizwe sethu. Kuba ke babeza kuthatha ithuba baziphindezele ngenxa yokuba iNgilani iye yaqhatha kwaye yabaphatha ngokungekho sikweni ngaphambili. [Ukholoniyali]. Abanye babalawulwa bakakumkanikazi balindele kuphela ithuba lokulahla idyokhwe yabo; kodwa ukuba iNgilane ithathe isigqibo sokuba kufanelekile, akasayi kuthandabuza okomzuzwana ukuba athabathe eli thuba kwaye asebenzise amandla akhe ukuhlazisa isizwe sethu. Nje ukuba iNgilani ibhengeze imfazwe, ilizwe ngalinye liya kuthi [amagunya obukoloniyali] kwizilangazelelo zakhe [iikholoni] cinga, kwaye kukho imfazwe ngokubanzi, isiphithiphithi ngokubanzi [Imfazwe yehlabathi yokuqala]. – Ubungqina beBandla 1, 259; thelekisa ubungqina 1, 281

Iyamangalisa indlela uEllen White ayichaza ngayo imeko yezopolitiko yehlabathi apha kwi-1862. Njengoko imbali ibonisa, iNgilani yagqiba kwelokuba ingangeni emfazweni ngelo xesha. Kodwa xa iBritani enkulu yangena kwimfazwe yelizwekazi eyayisele iqalise kakuhle kwiminyaka engama-50 kamva ngoAgasti 4, 1914, imfazwe kawonke-wonke eyayixelwe kwangaphambili nesiphithiphithi esipheleleyo salandela: IMfazwe Yehlabathi Yokuqala. INgilani yayixhalabele isikhundla sayo kwezobupolitika. Kodwa yavakalisa ukuphela koBukhosi baseBritani ngezandla zabo. Kanye njengokuba uEllen White wayexele kwangaphambili, amathanga aseBritani asebenzisa ithuba lokusilela kweBritani ngokwezoqoqosho nasekhaya kwiphulo lawo lokufuna inkululeko emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi I neMfazwe Yehlabathi II, baza uBukhosi baseBritani bawohloka. Kuphela yimali-mboleko evela e-USA eyasindisa iNgilani kwi-bankruptcy ngo-1946. Ngokwenzekayo, akuzange kube nguDisemba 31, 2006 apho iNgilani yahlawula isavenge sayo sokugqibela e-USA.

Kumaphepha ambalwa emva koko, uEllen White uyaphinda ayichole kwakhona:

Emva kwexesha elifutshane loxolo: iMfazwe Yehlabathi yesiBini

Ezinye izizwe zisijonge ngamehlo abomvu isizwe sethu. Khange ndixelelwe ukuba kutheni. Kodwa basilungiselela ngokunzulu isiganeko. Olona ncedo lukhulu kunye nezidubedube ngoku kugquba phakathi koorhulumente bethu. Abaxhasi bobukhoboka kunye nabangcatshi baphakathi kwabo; yaye nangona zixhasa uManyano, zinempembelelo kwizigqibo, ezinye zazo ezide zithande amazwe asemazantsi.

Ndaboniswa abantu bomhlaba bekwisiphithiphithi esikhulu: imfazwe, uphalazo-gazi, ukuswela, ukuswela, indlala nezifo zazilawula kulo lonke ilizwe. [IMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala, umkhuhlane waseSpain, ubhubhani wetyphoid, imeko yezoqoqosho kwihlabathi, njl.njl.]. Njengoko abantu bakaThixo babengqongwe kuko konke oku, baqalisa ukunxulumana baze bazibeke ngasemva iingxaki zabo ezincinane. Ukuba nesidima kwakungasenguye amandla okuqhuba, ukuthobeka okunzulu kwathatha indawo yako. Ukubandezeleka, ukungabi nakuzinceda kunye nokuswela kwabuyisela ingqiqo etroneni, igazi elitshisayo nelingenangqiqo laphinda labuyela ezingqondweni kwaye lenza ngobulumko nangobulumko.

Emva koko ingqalelo yam yaphambuka. Kangangexesha elithile kwakubonakala kukho uxolo [phakathi kweemfazwe ezimbini zehlabathi]. Kodwa emva koko ndaboniswa abantu bomhlaba kwakhona; kwaye yonke into yawela kwisiphithiphithi kwakhona. Iingxwabangxwaba, iimfazwe nophalazo-gazi olubangelwa yindlala nendyikitya yokufa zazigquba kuyo yonke indawo. Ezinye iintlanga zazibandakanyekile kule mfazwe nakwesi sidubedube. Imfazwe yakhokelela kwindlala. Ukuphelelwa lithemba nokuphalazwa kwegazi kwabangela izibetho [Isibini. Imfazwe yehlabathi, iLeningrad Blockade, uBusika beNdlala, ubhubhani weSixhenxe weKholera njl.njl.]. Zaza ke iintliziyo zabantu “zasilela kukoyika nakukulindela izinto ezilizelayo elimiweyo” ( Luka 21,26:XNUMX ). [Isisongelo seNyukliya, iMfazwe yoMlomo]. - Ibid., 267-268; ibid., 289-290

Isahluko esithi "Ubukhoboka kunye neMfazwe" siphetha ngesi sivakalisi. Ngoko ke, ngowe-1862, uEllen White waprofeta ngeemfazwe ezimbini ezaziya kuchaphazela bonke “abemi bomhlaba.”

Cinezela kunye!

Ndamangaliswa njengoko ndandifunda incwadi kaBob Pickle Impendulo kwividiyo: iSeventh-day Adventism, uMoya osemva kweCawe kwaziswa ngokuzaliseka kwesi siprofeto. Okumangalisayo kukuba, ayizange indibambe xa ndifunda umqulu wokuqala weeTestimonies, mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba ifunyenwe kumxholo weMfazwe yaseMelika yaseMelika. Ndiyathemba ukuba nabanye abakhe banamava afanayo baya kuvulwa amehlo njengam. UThixo akasishiyanga ebumnyameni ngoEllen White. Kodwa kuyabonakala ukuba akwanelanga ukufunda imibhalo yabo uwedwa. Makhulu kakhulu. Kuphela kuxa sixinanisana njengebandla apho sinokuthi singene kwintsikelelo epheleleyo yolu Khanyo.
