Imizekelo emibini yoko kuzayo esiya kwenza ngcono ukuba sifunde kuyo. NguAlberto Treiyer.

Ixesha lokufunda: imizuzu emi-19

Imini yayinde kwaye idinisa kakhulu. Owona mlo mkhulu phakathi kukaYesu neenkokeli zonqulo zesixeko saseYerusalem wawuphelile. Ngokurhoxiswa kozuko lukaThixo, olwalungasekho efini njengoko lwalukade lufihliwe, kodwa ngoku lusenyameni yomntu ( Yohane 1,9.14:23,38, 39 ), ekugqibeleni ubukho basezulwini babumkile endlwini kaThixo eYerusalem ( Mateyu XNUMX:XNUMX ) Ngokucacileyo ubukho basezulwini babumkile endlwini kaThixo eYerusalem. -XNUMX). Kodwa njengoko abafundi babenyuka kancinane kwiNtaba yemiNquma baze bajike, baphinda bajongana nombono omangalisayo weTempile yaseYerusalem.

»Ngaphaya kweminyaka engamashumi amane, ubutyebi, umsebenzi kunye nobugcisa bokwakha banike le tempile ubuqaqawuli obuhlala bukhula. UHerode Omkhulu waba negalelo kubuqaqawuli besi sakhiwo sikhwankqisayo ephuma kubutyebi bamaRoma nakubuncwane bamaYuda; Nkqu nomlawuli wobukumkani behlabathi wayenikele ngenxa yalo: iibhloko ezinkulu zebhastile elimhlophe, ubukhulu bazo obubonakala bufana nentsomi, zazisuka eRoma.”impikiswano enkulu, 24) Akumangalisi ke ngoko ukuba abafundi babeneqhayiya ngesi sakhiwo. Amaphupha abo ayejikeleze esi sixeko kunye noYesu njengoKumkani wexesha elizayo waseYerusalem.

"Nkosi, khangela nje! Amatye anjani! Yaye zizakhiwo ezinjani?« ( Marko 13,1:21,5 ) “ehonjiswe ngamatye amahle nangezipho ezingcwalisiweyo” ( Luka XNUMX:XNUMX ), watsho omnye wabo. Kodwa iimvakalelo zeNkosi zazingeyonto ithile eyayiphawulwa ngamampunge omntu apho bonke abantu abafayo betyekele kakhulu kubo. Bamangaliswa bonke, uYesu waphendula wathi: “Aniziboni na zonke ezi zinto? Inene ndithi kuni, Nantsi into eya kubakho akukho litye liseleyo kusele abangayi kunqunyulwa!” ( Mateyu 24,2:XNUMX )

Microcosms zakudala

Amazwi othusayo kaYesu aphathelele itempile kaThixo nesixeko sakhe aqukumbela izilumkiso ezininzi zesiprofeto ezazisiya kuSirayeli uThixo awayezinike amaSirayeli ngaphambi ‘kwemini kaYehova. Abaprofeti babesele belubhengezile lo mhla womgwebo kwizixeko zexesha labo ezazizono zawo zazingaphezu komlinganiselo womonde kaThixo. Umonakalo wabo wawumzobo IiMicrocosms ngomgwebo oya kubakho ekupheleni kwehlabathi njengowomhlaba wonke nesijikelezi-langa macrocosm ayinakuphepheka. Izono ke zona ezo zixeko ziya kuba ngamabhodlo ehlabathi liphela.

Abafundi bakaYesu nabo babekuqonda oku. Njengamangqina okuza kukaMesiya othenjisiweyo, bacinga... imini yeNkosiUmhla awayeza kuza ngawo aze atshabalalise iYerusalem umele ukuba ibe ngumhla wokufika kukaYesu evela ezulwini aze aphelise eli hlabathi lesono. Ngoko kwimizuzu nje embalwa kamva babuza: “Kuya kwenzeka nini na oku, yaye uya kuba yintoni na umqondiso wokubuya kwakho nowokupheliswa kwephakade eli?” ( Mateyu 24,3:1,6 ) Yaye xa uYesu kamva wenyukela ezulwini waza wasiphinda eso sithembiso. ngokubuya kwakhe, baphinda bababuza oku: “Nkosi, ububuyisela ngeli xesha na ubukumkani kuSirayeli?” ( IZenzo XNUMX:XNUMX ) Ngokuphathelele ukubuya kwakhe, baphinda bababuza: “Nkosi, ububuyisela ngeli xesha na ubukumkani kuSirayeli?”

Imini kaYehova

Bathini abaprofeti bamandulo ‘ngemini kaYehova’? Mayibe yimini ekrakra

• imini yengqumbo” ( Hezekile 22,24:2,22; IZililo 1,15:XNUMX; Zefaniya XNUMX:XNUMX )
• imini yokoyika nembandezelo” ( Zefaniya 1,15:13,6; Isaya 19,16:30,5ff; 7:1,15; Yeremiya 16:12-15; Yoweli XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX; Obhadiya XNUMX-XNUMX )
• “imini yempindezelo,” “yempindezelo,” “intshabalalo nentshabalalo” ( Isaya 34,8:63,4; 46,10:47,4; Yeremiya 50,27:28; 1,15:XNUMX; XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX; Zefaniya XNUMX:XNUMX )
• imini yobumnyama nesithokothoko.”— Hezekile 30,2:3-1,14; Zefaniya 15:5,18-20; Amosi XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX .
• imini yakwaShofarschall kunye wokuhlaba umkhosi emizini enqatyisiweyo, naseluqoqweni olude” ( Zefaniya 1,16:XNUMX ).

Kule meko imangalisayo, ngaba sifanele sicinge ukuba uThixo ugqwashula, njengoko kuqhelekile ebantwini? Hayi. Ukuze kungabikho mathandabuzo ngokuphathelele ubulungisa bemigwebo yakhe, simbona ebiza inkundla yasezulwini yophando. Kuphela kusemva komgwebo wakhe athi angenelele ( Genesis 1:18,20ff; Zefaniya 1,12:7,9; Daniyeli 10:XNUMX-XNUMX ).

Ngaphezu koko, asizizithunywa zezulu kuphela ezimele zixelelwe ngetyala uThixo aliqalisileyo nxamnye nolo hlanga lutyholwayo. Abahlali bezixeko ezisengozini yokutshatyalaliswa kufuneka baziswe nabo. Kungeso sizathu le nto abathunywa abathunyelwa nguThixo ukuba bavakalise umgwebo, baze bona babe ngabagwebi ( Hoseya 7,1:2-8,13; 9,9:10,2; 13:12; 1,12:XNUMX; XNUMX, XNUMX ). Phezu kwazo nje izilumkiso zikaThixo, le mini yentlekele yaqhubeka ibamangalisa abangakholwayo “abalele ngeenyawo, besithi ezintliziyweni zabo, UYehova akenzi okulungileyo, akenzi nakubi!” ( Zefaniya XNUMX:XNUMX ) Nangona uThixo wayelumkisa abantu bakhe, le ntlekele yaqhubeka ibamangalisa.

Yintoni eneneni uThixo abohlwaya ngayo abantu kwezo mizekelo mincinane yoMhla wokuGqibela? Ngokutsho kukaIsaya, oku kuyahlazisa Usuku lwanaphakade “amehlo anekratshi abantu” aze ahlaze “umntu ukuzingca ebantwini,” ukuze kuphakanyiswe uYehova yedwa ( Isaya 2,11:12-14,12; 13:50,29-32; Yeremiya XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX ). Yiyo loo nto intshabalalo iza ngokuyintloko ngemiqondiso yabantu ukuzigwagwisa, umzekelo »malunga nomntu wonke inqaba ephakamileyo kwaye malunga ngamnye udonga oluqinileyo«yezixeko (Isaya 2,15:27,5). Hayi indlela engento yanto ngayo onke amakhaka akhuselayo umntu azama ukuzifihla emva kwawo ngaphandle kokusabela kwindawo ekuphela kwayo ekhuselekileyo uThixo ayinikelayo! ( INdumiso 31,19:23; 36,7:8-91; XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX; XNUMX ).

Ekubeni abantu abaninzi, ngenxa yokuxhalaba kunye nokoyika ikamva, bacingela ngokwabo kuphela kwaye bengasathethi malunga namahlwempu, isigwebo saloo mini sikwabhekiselwa kubo »inkulu kwaye intle«Izinto abazithengileyo ngokungekho sikweni. Yeha ke abo bongeza indlu kwenye, intsimi kwenye, de kungabikho ndawo iseleyo nize nihlale nedwa esazulwini selizwe!” ( Isaya 5,8.9:2,13, 14 ) Uwexuko lokuziphatha nohanahaniso lokomoya olwenzekayo injongo yokuyigubungela ayibaleki emehlweni abaprofeti kwanaphantsi kwembonakalo entle yentabalala yezinto eziphathekayo ( Isaya 4,12:14-XNUMX; Hoseya XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX ).

Kanti ke abuyi kuba bubumnyama nesiphanziso ngemini kaYehova. Xa ephalaza umgwebo wakhe kwizixeko ezingendawo, uThixo akanakuze akulibale ukusindisa intsalela yakhe ethembekileyo ( Isaya 1,11:12ff; 30,26.29; 3,16:12,17, 14,12; Yoweli 15,1:16ff). Ngokukwanjalo, ekupheleni kwehlabathi, xa, ngokutsho kweSityhilelo, ephalaza izibetho zengqumbo Yakhe phezu komhlaba wonke, akayi kubalibala abaseleyo abayigcinayo imiyalelo Yakhe ( ISityhilelo 17,14:XNUMX; XNUMX:XNUMX; XNUMX . XNUMX; XNUMX; XNUMX:XNUMX ). Ngamanye amazwi: zombini kwi IiMicrocosms yabantu bamandulo ngokunjalo nakwizijikelezi-langa macrocosm Namhlanje, iMini kaYehova yimini yokuchasana: intlekele yehlabathi, kodwa intlawulelo nentlawulelo yabantu bakaThixo.

Izigwebo ze-microcosmic zikhomba kwisigwebo esipheleleyo kunye nesokugqibela.

IBhayibhile ithetha kuphela ngemigwebo emibini epheleleyo: uNogumbe malunga neminyaka engama-4000 eyadlulayo ( Genesis 1-6 ) nesiphelo esisemnyango sehlabathi ngomlilo ( 8 Petros 2:3,6-7,10, 120 ). Ngaphandle kweminyaka eli-XNUMX yokuvakaliswa kukaNowa, akukho nto ingako siyifundayo ngendlela uThixo awalumkisa ngayo ihlabathi langaphambi konogumbe ngentlekele enkulu eyenzeka. Noko ke, ngokuphathelele intlekele yesibini yendalo iphela esisingise kuyo, asinakuphela nje ukuvakaliswa kwabaprofeti, kodwa kwanemigwebo emincinane yangaphambili uThixo awathi wazityelela ngayo iintlanga kwixesha elidluleyo. Kunokuba sibukele abantu singakhathali size sibavumele ukuba babaleke besiya kwintshabalalo enkulu yokugqibela, sibona uThixo engenelela ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuze aphelise ubungendawo aze athintele imvukelo yomntu ukuba isasazeke kuyo yonke indawo ngaphambi kwexesha layo.

Ekubeni imigwebo yakhe eyibekele umda kwiindawo ezithile aze abasindise abanye abantu, ikwabizwa ngokuba yimigwebo yenceba. Zenzelwe ukwenza abantu baqaphele ingozi abakuyo kunye noko kubalindileyo. Oku kwabangela ukuba lo mprofeti athi: “Ekubeni imigwebo yakho ibetha ihlabathi, abemi behlabathi baya kufunda ubulungisa.” ( Isaya 26,9:XNUMX ) Izindlu zonqulo ziyaphinda zizaliseke, abantu babuza imibuzo emininzi yaye baya besanda. zivuleleke ngakumbi kwivangeli.

Kodwa ziziphi iintonga zoqeqesho uThixo azisebenzisayo? Ngaba kusoloko kukho imbalela, izaqhwithi nezibetho? Ngaba usoloko engenelela ngokuthe ngqo? Hayi. Ukuze angaqalisi uqhushululu olukhulu nolwehlabathi lonke, njengoko kulindelekile ekupheleni kwehlabathi, ngokufuthi uThixo usebenzisa abanye abantu abangamaziyo ukohlwaya izixeko ezikhohlakeleyo, kodwa abazono zabo zingekafikeleli kwinqanaba lomonde wobuthixo. .

Ngale ndlela, ubukhosi baseAsiriya baba “sisitokhwe” sengqumbo yakhe, nangona ukumkani wabo wayengayazi loo nto (Isaya 10,5:7-4,17). Kamsinya nje emva kokuba olo qeqesho lungendawo luzalisekise icebo lalowo umisa aze ashenxise ookumkani ( Daniyeli 6,20:21; 10,10:14-15 ) Ngoko nangoko uThixo uhlabela mgama etshabalalisa “ikratshi” ‘namehlo anekratshi’ ( Isaya XNUMX . :XNUMX) -XNUMX) ukohlwaya naba bantu. Izembe liya kumqhayisela obetha ngalo na? Isarha iyamqhayisela na lowo uyisebenzisayo? Ngokungathi intonga iya kubhukuqa lowo uyiphakamisayo, ngokungathi intonga iphakamisa ongenguye umthi!” ( ivesi XNUMX ).

Ukuba imigwebo kaThixo iphunyezwa ngabaluleki abakhohlakeleyo abangaziyo ukuba baphumeza ukuthanda kukaThixo, uthixo udlala nje indima yomlamli welishwa. Njengomenzi weli hlabathi, uyalurhoxisa ukhuseleko lwakhe kwisixeko esigwetyiweyo aze ngaloo ndlela anike umtshabalalisi notshaba ukufikelela. Kuya kuba njalo kulo lonke ihlabathi xa imimoya yeenkanuko zabantu ivuthululwa zizithunywa zezulu ezine uThixo azibeke kwiimbombo zone zomhlaba ukuze ziphelise ubungendawo behlabathi lonke zize ziphelise intshabalalo yokugqibela ( ISityhilelo 7,1:3-7,2 ; thelekisa uDaniyeli XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX; XNUMX).

Ngaba zisekhona ii-microcosms zomgwebo wokugqibela namhlanje?

Isiphelo sehlabathi ngaphandle kohlanga lwakwaSirayeli nangaphandle kwetempile yalo? Loo nto yayingekho ezingqondweni zabafundi. Ekubeni ngaphambili iMini kaNaphakade yayizifikele iintlanga ezingabahedeni nabantu bazo, zazicinga ukuba amabhodlo eYerusalem ayeya kuvela ekutshatyalalisweni kwehlabathi. Ngale ndlela baxuba i-microcosm yomhla wabo kunye ne-macrocosm yokuphela. Kodwa uYesu walucingela ucalucalulo lwabo lobuzwe waza wazixuba ngovelwano ezi ziganeko zibini. Ukuba amehlo abo ayevulwe, babeya kuqonda kwakhona ukuba intshabalalo esondelayo yeYerusalem ngamaRoma yayingayi kuba sisiphelo, kodwa ngomnye nje umzekelo wokutshatyalaliswa kwehlabathi ( 1 Korinte 10,6.11:XNUMX, XNUMX ).

Oku kukhokelela kulo mbuzo ulandelayo: Siphila kwihlabathi apho imiqondiso yendalo iphela eyalathwa kuyo abaprofeti nabapostile bamandulo kwanoNyana kaThixo noNyana kaThixo yayizaliseka. Ngaba sinokulindela imizekelo emincinci emitsha yentshabalalo yokugqibela? Ewe. Oku koko kanye uYesu wathetha ngako ngexesha lesiphelo: “Niya kuva ke ngeemfazwe namarhe eemfazwe,” wavakalisa oko. Kodwa kwakhona walumkisa: “Lumkani, ningankwantyi; ngokuba zonke ezo zinto zimelwe kukubakho; kodwa kunjalo hayi isiphelo okwangoku” ( Mateyu 24,6:XNUMX )

Ngenkulungwane yama-20, xa kwaqhambuka iimfazwe zehlabathi ezimbini, abaninzi babekholelwa ukuba isiphelo sasisele siqalile. Bawalibala kwaloo mazwi eNkosi uYesu. Imikhosi yezizwe yaphinda yamanyana kwakhona ekupheleni kwaloo nkulungwane inye nxamnye ne-Iraq, yaye kwakhona amarhe asasaza ukuba iArmagedon ifikile, idabi lokugqibela lehlabathi ekuthethwe ngalo kwiApocalypse ( ISityhilelo 16,16:XNUMX ). Kodwa isiphelo asikafiki. “Kuba uhlanga luya kuvukelana nolunye uhlanga, nobukumkani buvukelane nobunye,” yahlabela mgama iNkosi uYesu, “kuya kubakho iindlala, neendyikitya zokufa, nezinyikimo zomhlaba apha naphaya. Yiyo yonke le nto Ukuqala komsebenzi.’ Oko kukuthi, ezi zizigwebo zangaphambi kwexesha. Nokuba ezi zinkulu ngokwesikali kuneenkundla zamandulo, zisenjalo ingekabikho isiphelo ngokwaso.

Xa imigwebo kaThixo iphunyezwa ngamandla angendawo, amalungisa nabangengomalungisa ngokufuthi bayabandezeleka. Ngoko, ngokwembali yamaYuda, uYeremiya wafa ngenxa yokuba waxulutywa ngamatye ngenxa yokuprofeta ngokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem ngamaBhabhiloni. UDaniyeli nabahlobo bakhe abathathu bathinjwa kunye nabanye abasindayo kuloo ntshabalalo. La mazwi alandelayo oMsindisi asebenza kwabamsulwa abafanele babandezeleke phantsi kweemeko ezinjalo: “Ningaboyiki abo babulala umzimba, kodwa bengenako ukuwubulala wona umphefumlo; yoyikani ke lowo unako ukutshabalalisa umphefumlo nomzimba esihogweni somlilo!” ( Mateyu 10,28:XNUMX )

Ngale migwebo ilinganiselweyo, uYehova ufuna ukuvusa abantu nezizwe kwinyaniso yokuba umgwebo olungileyo usemnyango, ekungayi kubakho nceba kuwo (IsiTyhilelo 16).

“Isiprofeto soMsindisi somgwebo owawuza kufika eYerusalem siya kuba nenye inzaliseko. Intshabalalo embi yeyokuqala yayiyimbonakalo nje encinci yeyesibini. Kwenzeke ntoni kwisixeko esikhethiweyo ubonisa ukuba nguwuphi na umgwebo ihlabathi eliya kuwufumana ongayifuniyo inceba kaThixo kwaye unyathele umthetho wakhe... iziphumo zokugatya igunya lezulu. … Imbali yexesha elidlulileyo, uthotho olungapheliyo lwemvukelo, amadabi kunye neemvukelo, “zonke izihlangu zabanyathela entshinyeleni yemfazwe, nezambatho zonke ezirhuqe ngegazi” (Isaya 9,4:XNUMX) – zithini na? bathelekisa uloyiko lwaloo mini xa uMoya kaThixo omodareyithayo uya kushenxiswa ngokupheleleyo kwabangahloneli Thixo, yaye ungasayi kuphinda uthintele ukugqabhuka kweenkanuko zabantu nomsindo wobuSathana! Liya kwandula ke ihlabathi libone, kunanini na ngaphambili, imiphumo eyoyikekayo yolawulo lukaSathana.”impikiswano enkulu, 36)

Njengakwixesha lamandulo kwaye “ngokuchaneka okungapheliyo, oNgapheliyo ugcina iirekhodi zabantu. Ngethuba nje enikezela ngobabalo lwakhe kwaye ebiza inguquko, i-akhawunti ayiyi kuvalwa. Kodwa xa amanani efikelela kumlinganiselo othile awubekileyo uThixo, ingqumbo yaKhe iyaqala. Emva koko kuzotywe ibhalansi. Umonde kaThixo ufikelele esiphelweni. Ubabalo alusabathandazeli abantu.« (Abaprofeti nooKumkani, 364)

“Inkulu inceba abenzela yona ngokubiza inguquko; kodwa xa ubugwenxa babo bufikelela kumda othile obekwe nguThixo, Inceba iyayeka ukuthethelelwa kwaye ingqumbo iyaqala.« (Ubomi bukaPaul, 318)

Isibikezelo sesiprofeto sokutshatyalaliswa kweWorld Trade Center

Malunga neminyaka elikhulu ngaphambi kokuba ezona zakhiwo zazikade zintle ehlabathini ziwe eNew York ngoSeptemba 11, 2001, imboni yamaSabatha yabona esi siganeko yaza yachaza isizathu sokuba uThixo avumele le ntlekele ukuba yenzeke. Le nto wayenza, kwanjengoko babesenza kwamandulo izithunywa zikaThixo. Iziprofeto zabo azifani nezo zikaNostradamus okanye nasiphi na esinye isangoma okanye isazi ngekamva abantu abaphethukela kuye namhlanje bengenalo naluphi na ulwalathiso lokwenene ngeziganeko.

Kwiminyaka emithathu ngaphambi kokutshatyalaliswa kwesixeko saseSan Francisco ngenyikima ngowe-1906, uEllen White wavakalisa ukuba eso sixeko sasiza kutyelelwa kungekudala ngumgwebo wobuthixo.Isiganeko sosuku lokugqibela, 114). Ukwabhengeze ukuba "iziganeko zentlekele yaseSan Francisco ziya kuphinda ziphindwe kwezinye iindawo ... Iinkundla esele zifikile," wachaza, "zi. isilumkiso sesohlwayoeya kuyifikela imizi embi, kodwa hayi ukugqiba.” (ibid.)

La mazwi alandelayo ngowe-1901 abonisa ukuba kwakuya kubakho ezinye iintsholongwane ezichaphazela ihlabathi lonke: “Amatye ezikhumbuzo anobukhazikhazi. ubungakanani bomntu iya kukhubeka ibe luthuli ngaphambi kokuba intshabalalo yokugqibela ifike ehlabathini.”Isiganeko sosuku lokugqibela, 111) Amaphephandaba emihla ngemihla asebenzisa ibinzana elifanayo ukuchaza ukuhlaselwa kweTwin Towers eNew York. Bona uClarín ukususela ngo-Oktobha 17, 2001: “Owona mqondiso mkhulu wobukhapitali behlabathi uye wadilika waluthuli” (http://edant.clarin.com/diario/2001/10/17/i-311171.htm)

"Ezi zakhiwo zinebhongo ziya kujika zibe luthuthu" (Isiganeko sosuku lokugqibela, 111) »Iindawo zokuhlala ezixabisa kakhulu, Imimangaliso yobugcisa bokwakha werden ukusukela ngoku kuyalingana iya kutshatyalaliswa xa uYehova ebona ukuba abaniniyo bagqithile kumda wokuxolelwa... [njengomfanekiso] wendlela okwakhiwa ngayo umhlaba kungekudala okuya kuba ngamanxuwa.” (ibid., 112)

Wathi: “Abantu baza kuqhubeka nokwakha izakhiwo ezibiza izigidi ezixabisa izigidi, ingqalelo ekhethekileyo iza kunikelwa kubuhle bazo nolwakhiwo oluqinileyo, kodwa uYehova uye wandazisa ukuba phezu kwazo nje uzinzo neendleko ezingaqhelekanga zezi zakhiwo. uya kuba nesabelo kwisiphelo sendlu yamandulo yaseYerusalem."(UKristu uyeza kamsinya, 81; bona. Iziganeko zoSuku lokugqibela 112) Ngamanye amazwi: nalapha, akukho litye liya kushiywa lingajika.

Kule nkalo, kufuneka kukhunjulwe ukuba emva kokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem, abantu bafuna igolide eyayinyibilikile emlilweni kwaye yageleza kwiintanda phakathi kwamatye. Ngokwenjenjalo, bawabhukuqa onke amatye ebelingayi kuhlala endaweni yawo, ezalisekisa oko kwakuxelwe kwangaphambili yiNkosi uYesu. Iitoni zegolide nazo zangcwatywa xa izakhiwo zaseNew York zadilika. Yonke into iyaphangwa kwakhona, kungekuphela nje ukucoca indawo, kodwa nokubuyisela obu butyebi bunomtsalane.

Ngowe-1904, lo mbhali ukwamnye wabhala: “Ngobunye ubusuku ndaboniswa izakhiwo [zaseNew York] ukuba... Umgangatho ngomgangatho ukuya esibhakabhakeni wakhula. Ezi zakhiwo zazigqalwa njengesiqinisekiso sokungatshi kwaye zazakhiwe ukuze Ukuzukisa umnini kunye nomakhi. Ephakamileyo nangaphezulu izakhiwo zafunjwa; eyona nto ibiza kakhulu yayisetyenziswa ekwakheni. Kodwa abaninizo abazange bazibuze lo mbuzo: “Sinokwenza njani ukuze simzukise ngakumbi uThixo?” Abazange bacinge ngoYehova. Ndathi entliziyweni yam, “Owu, ukuba nje wonke umntu otyala imali yakhe ngolu hlobo ebenokubona izenzo zakhe emehlweni kaThixo! Basenokwakha izakhiwo ezibalaseleyo, kodwa hayi indlela abubudenge ngayo amacebo abo nezinto abaziyileyo emehlweni aLowo ulawula indalo iphela! Abafuni ngeentliziyo neengqondo zabo zonke iindlela zokuzukisa uThixo. Ngelishwa, baye baphulukana nombono walo msebenzi uphakamileyo womntu. Njengoko ezi zikhundla ziphakamileyo zazisanda, abanini babenebhongo ngenkalipho ngokuba nemali yokwanelisa iminqweno yabo nokuvusa umona kubamelwane babo. Uninzi lwemali ababeyityale apha bayifumana ngokurhwaphiliza, ngengcinezelo yamahlwempu. Babelibele ukuba yonke intengiselwano yoshishino ibhalwa ezulwini nokuba yonke intengiselwano engalunganga nayo yonke into yobuqhophololo ibhalwa apho. Kuya kufika ixesha apho inkohliso nokurhabaxa kwabantu kuya kufikelela esiphelweni abangafanele basiwele; baya kubona ukuba nokuzeka kade umsindo kukaYehova kulinganisiwe.

Umboniso olandelayo owadlula phambi kwam wawu ialam yomlilo. Abantu wajonga eziphakamileyo nezakhiwo ekucingelwa ukuba azitshi yaye zathi: “Zikhuseleke ngokupheleleyo.” [Abaninzi bafa ngenxa yokuba baxelelwa ukuba babuyele ezihlalweni zabo, ukuba izakhiwo zikhuselekile.] Kodwa ke
Izakhiwo zatshatyalaliswa ngokungathi zenziwe ngamashwa. Iinjini zomlilo zazingenamandla okujongana nokutshatyalaliswa kwaye abacimi-mlilo babengenakukwazi ukuzisebenzisa. Ndayibona loo nto abantu abanekratshi, abanamabhongo abaneentliziyo ezingaguqukiyo ngokusisigxinaXa lifika ixesha likaYehova, siya kufumanisa ukuba isandla esasisindisa ngamandla amakhulu siya kutshabalalisa ngamandla amakhulu. Akukho gunya emhlabeni linokuthintela isandla sikaThixo. Akukho mpahla isetyenziselwa ukwakha namhlanje eya kumelana nokutshatyalaliswa xa ixesha likaThixo elimisiweyo lifika abantu baya kuvuzwa ngenxa yokungawuthobeli kwabo umthetho wakhe namabhongo abo okuzingca” (Ubungqina beBandla 9, 12-13).

Ngowe-1906, uEllen White waba nomnye umbono woloyiko. Kodwa apho akazange axelelwe igama lesixeko awasibonayo. Mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba abanye abashumayeli, emva kokuchaza iNew York, ngokukhawuleza bathi esi sixeko siya kutshatyalaliswa yinyikima, ngaloo ndlela begqwetha iingxelo zabo (Ileta 176, 1903). Namhlanje, phantse kwinkulungwane kamva, sichukunyiswa kukufana kwalo mbono neziganeko zokutshatyalaliswa kweWorld Trade Center.

"Bendi esixekweniAndazi ukuba kuphi, kwaye ndeva ugqabhuko-dubulo emva kokudubula. Ndikhawuleze ndachopha ebhedini, ndakroba efestileni ndabona iibhola ezinkulu zomlilo. Ukusuka kule Iintlantsi zadubula ngohlobo lweentolo kunye neebhloko ezipheleleyo zezakhiwo zadilika. Kwimizuzu embalwa yonke ibhloko yesakhiwo yadilika kwaye ndasiva ngokucacileyo isikhalo kunye nokuncwina. Ndihleli nkqo, ndakhwaza ukuze ndifumanise ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni: Ndiphi? Iphi intsapho yethu? Ndiye ndavuka kodwa andazazi noba ndiphi. Kaloku bendingekho endlini. « (Umbhalo-ngqangi ukhupha i-11, 918)

Iingcinga ezingenakuthintelwa

Amaphephandaba emihla ngemihla achaza ezi nqaba zimbini, ezadilika kunye nezinye izakhiwo eziphakamileyo, njengomfuziselo “wamandla omntu” kunye “namandla ezoqoqosho” awayethotyiwe. Yenzekile embindini weziko loqoqosho lwehlabathi kwaye yachaphazela kakhulu iimarike zehlabathi. »Ikamva lethu lezoqoqosho lisemngciphekweni. Ngokuhlasela iisimboli ezimbini ezinkulu zehlabathi lezemali, i-Twin Towers, abanqolobi bazama ukuphazamisa ukuthembela kwethu kwinkqubo yezoqoqosho yehlabathi.« (Clarín, Oktobha 21, 2001; bona http://archivo.eluniversal.com.mx/ nacion/ 69179.html)

ENew York, wonke umntu wavuma, ayisayi kuba sisixeko esinye kwakhona. Nangona izandla ezigqwethekileyo nezibulalayo zabangela loo ntshabalalo, nabani na okholelwa ngokwenene kuThixo umele azibuze isizathu sokuba uThixo avumele isenzo esikhohlakele ngolo hlobo.

Bangaphezu kwe-100.000 abantu abathandana besini esifanayo eNew York minyaka le. Abantu abangama-434.000 bafa minyaka le e-USA ngenxa yokutshaya (i-1.200 yonke imihla) ngaphandle kwamanyathelo aneleyo athathiweyo ukuyiyeka. Amakhulu amawaka angakumbi abulawa bubuhlwempu ehlabathini lonke, ngoxa imbinana ingabona bantu bazizityebi yaye bephila tofotofo. Ngaba uThixo uya kusigcina ngonaphakade isandla sakhe esikhuselayo kule meko yogonyamelo nemvukelo njengoko izibonakalisa kwesi sixeko sikhulu sezoqoqosho?

Kwakhona kusenza sihlale kwaye siqaphele ukuba phantse unyaka ngaphambi kokuhlaselwa, abameli abaphezulu bamazwe onke bahlanganisene kwisixeko esifanayo ngamanani angazange abonwe ngaphambili. Oomongameli bamazwe aphambili abali-150 bafota baza bavakalisa uxolo njengeyona njongo iphambili yeZizwe Ezimanyeneyo. Kunosukelo olufanayo, kwasekwa iphulo elalihlanganisana eNew York yaye lalibizwa ngokuba ziinkonzo ezimanyeneyo. Wonke umntu uthetha ngoxolo lwehlabathi, nto leyo azabalazela ukuyifumana. I-millennium entsha iqalile, eya kuthi ekugqibeleni - ngenxa yenkqubela phambili yempucuko kunye nehlabathi jikelele - ibe yinkulungwane yoxolo. Kodwa endaweni yoxolo, isibetho semfazwe nentshabalalo sibuya ngequbuliso.

Ngaba oku akunakuba lixesha athetha ngalo umpostile uPawulos, xa ekupheleni kwehlabathi yonke into ithatha umlinganiselo wendalo iphela? Kwanokuba isiphelo singekafiki, asinakuphikiswa ukuba oku kusenokuba sisiqalo seziganeko zokugqibela. “Kuba nazi kakuhle,” utsho lo mpostile, “ukuba imini yeNkosi iya kuza njengesela ebusuku. Kuba ukuba baya kuthi: 'Luxolo nonqabiseko,' ke intlekele iya kubafikela ngequbuliso njengenimba komithiyo; abayi kusinda. Ke nina, bazalwana, anikho bumnyameni, ukuba imini leyo iniqubule njengesela... Ngoko masingalali njengabanye, masiphaphe sibe ziingcathu. Kuba uThixo akasimiselanga ngqumbo; usimisele ukuzuza usindiso ngayo iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.” (1 Tesalonika 5,2:9-XNUMX)

“Nangenxa yokwanda kokuchasa umthetho,” uYesu waprofeta ngaloo ngokuhlwa kubafundi bakhe ababekhwankqisiwe, “luya kuphola uthando lwabaninzi” ( Mateyu 24,12:21,25 ). “Ehlabathini kuya kubakho uloyiko phakathi kweentlanga ngenxa yokudideka ... njengoko abantu beya kusifa kukoyika nakukulindela izinto eziza kwenzeka phezu komhlaba” ( Luka 26:28-XNUMX ). Kodwa wena, “Xa ezi zinto ziqala ukuhla, yimani nime, niziphakamise iintloko zenu, ngenxa yokuba iyasondela inkululeko yenu” (ivesi XNUMX).
