UYesu Kristu wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni NgoMeyi 25, AD 31. Lo mhla, owathi ngonyaka wama-2020 wangqamana noSuku lweSikhumbuzo eUnited States, eneneni sisikhumbuzo selona dini lemfazwe likhulu embalini: ukufa kukaYesu emnqamlezweni. Kulo nyaka, uSuku lweSikhumbuzo belufanele lugcinwe njengesikhumbuzo sedabi likaKristu noSathana nenkululeko kwingcinezelo yesono awayizuzayo kubo bonke abakholwayo kwigama lakhe. Kodwa ucinga ukuba bangaphi abantu ababenomnqamlezo ezingqondweni zabo ngolo suku? Mhlawumbi ukubethelelwa emnqamlezweni kwiYerusalem yakudala kwiminyaka eliwaka elinamakhulu asithoba anamashumi asibhozo anesithoba eyadlulayo kunokuqondwa ngcono ukuba eli bali liyachasana nemeko yanamhlanje yokufa komntu ogama limbi. UGeorge Floyd.

Andimazi lo mntu, ngaphandle nje kokuba wenziwe udumo. Ndiyamazi ukuba mnyama kwaye oko ngelishwa kumnika istereotype. Kwakhona uYesu wayesazi ukuba wayengowaseNazarete, idolophu ababelindele ukuba baphume kuyo. Amapolisa angcungcuthekisa uGeorge Floyd ngedolo entanyeni kwindlela eqinileyo nerhabaxa de wabhubha ngenxa yokuphefumla. NoYesu wangcungcuthekiswa emnqamlezweni onzima de waphefumla okokugqibela.

Ngelishwa, nangona kunjalo, okwenzekayo “ngosuku lwesithathu” emva kokufa kukaGeorge Floyd ngoMeyi 25, 2020 yayingelovuko kodwa yayiluvuko. imvukelo. Abaqhankqalazi abaye bathatha isizathu sakhe babonisa umlingiswa okhumbuza omnye umntu ngaphandle kukaYesu:

Kwaye kukho ke obekuthiwa nguBharabhas, ekhonkxiwe nabanye abenzi bomsebenzi besaqunge naye, ababebulele abantu kwimvukelo. ( Marko 15:7 )

Kutheni uluntu ngokubanzi lucatshukiswe lude lwenze udushe (uvukelo) lude lubulale^[1] ukuchasa ukufa kwale ndoda, kwaye ithini—ngokwentlalo nebhayibhile—ngamaxesha esiphila kuwo? Kwaqhambuka udushe eMinneapolis nakwezinye iindawo nge-27 kaMeyi, 2020, eyayisisikhumbuzo sokuvuka kukaKristu. Uyawubona umahluko? Abalandeli bakaYesu abazange benze umngcelele nxamnye neLizwe xa iNkosi yabo yabethelelwa emnqamlezweni, kodwa kunokuba bakhumbule idini leNkosana Yoxolo ngoMhla weSikhumbuzo kulo nyaka, uhlanga olwalubonakala ngathi lungamaKristu lwaphakama lwakhumbula “AsingoYesu, kodwa uGeorge Floyd!”

Endaweni yoqhanqalazo olukhulu, xa iNkosi yeenkosi yabethelelwa emnqamlezweni kwabakho uthando olunzulu olungagungqiyo olwathi kamva lwatshintsha ihlabathi ngendlela enoxolo ngokwenene. Abafundi abazange bamatshe, baphange, bahlasele, okanye batshabalalise ngempindezelo, kodwa basebenza ngoxolo ngenxa yokwanda kobukumkani beNkosi, bengahlehle ekuphulukaneni nobomi babo, kodwa ngoxolo kuphela. Lo yayikwangumzekelo kaMartin Luther King Omnci., owayekhokele uxolo Uqhankqalazo olusekelwe kwimilinganiselo yokuziphatha efanelekileyo kuwo onke amaKristu.

Inkululeko yakhelwe phezu kwedini kwaye ilungile ukuyilwela, kodwa qhinga kunye neendlela zoxolo^[2] zibalulekile, ngokunjalo nokukhetha amahlakani afanelekileyo. Ingxabano phakathi kwephiko lasekhohlo kunye ne-rightwing e-US, umzekelo, ibangele kuphela ukuwohloka kokuziphatha kumacala omabini, kwaye ekugqibeleni, akukho mntu uphumelela. Omabini amacala ahlukene kangangokuba ilizwe lahlukana phakathi kwaye imfazwe yamakhaya sisiphumo esingenakuphepheka.^[3] Ziphi iinkokeli ezithatha indawo ephezulu? Iphi isimilo? Baphi abo baza kukhomba ngokungenaloyiko umnwe unobangela wokwenyani yokoyiswa kwesizwe okulihlazo? I-United States of America iye yawexuka kuThixo ngokuzisa isikizi leSodom neGomora phantsi kweliso lika-Obama, kwaye uTrump-nabo bonke abacebisi bakhe bomoya kunye nesiseko sabavoti bokuziphatha-akenzanga nto ukuyirhoxisa. Kungenxa yoko le nto uhlanga luphela! Kwaye ukudibana ne-LGBT hotbed ye-LGBT yanamhlanje kusenza sibe mandundu ngakumbi isono, ngokuchasene nenkolelo yobuKristu eyaziwayo.

Ukusweleka kukaGeorge Floyd kubonisa ukuphela kwexesha loqhanqalazo olunoxolo e-United States. UGeorge Floyd kunye nezidubedube ezilandela ukufa kwakhe zibonisa ukuba ilizwe liphulukene nengqiqo yokuziphatha kwaye liye lanikezela kwiimpembelelo ezichasene nobuKristu zeNew World Order.

Oku kubonisa ngakumbi kunangaphambili ukuba siphila kwixesha lehlabathi isivuno sokugqibela, njengoko ezi ziphithiphithi zisenzeka ngokugqibeleleyo ngokuvisisana newotshi kaThixo uBawo. I-25 kaMeyi, 2020 ibikukuqala kwenyanga yesithathu yebhayibhile kwaye iphawula inguqulelo ukusuka ekuvuneni ingqolowa ukuya ekuvuneni kweediliya;

Amagqabantshintshi ngewotshi kaThixo anikwe kweli nqaku Ixesha Alisekho kwabo bangekaqhelani nayo, kodwa ngoku sifuna nje ukugxininisa ukuba siphakathi kumjikelo wokugqibela wewotshi, kwaye le ndawo iphakamileyo inokubaluleka okukhulu. Kulapho sifumana khona isikhumbuzo se umbingelelo weNkosi yethu, yaye ukudlula kweli candelo liphezulu lewotshi kufana nokufikelela encotsheni yentaba. Kule meko, yintaba yobungqina obubonisa ukuba isiphelo sehlabathi silapha kwaye UYesu uyeza kwakhona. Ngaba uyakubona oko kwenzekayo ehlabathini uze uqonde indlela ezizalisekisa ngayo isiprofeto seBhayibhile?

ILizwi likaThixo alisileli, kwaye zonke izilumkiso ezinikwe iMelika ziyaqala ukuwela kwesi sizwe samaProtestanti, esiye sawexuka kwaye sahanahanisa. Indyikityha yobundlobongela eMinneapolis iphawula ukuqala komlilo wokwenyani nobushushu^[4] loo nto yenza izisongelo zangaphambili zikaTrump^[5] isandi esiphantsi kunangaphambili. Isiphelo sifikelelwe, kwaye isizwe esahlulelene asinakuma.

Nobukumkani, ukuba buthe bahlulelana bodwa, abunako ukuma obo bukumkani; ( Marko 3:24 )

Ukulondolozwa komanyano awalufelayo u-Abraham Lincoln ngowe-1865 kuyaphela, kwaye izigidi kusenokwenzeka ukuba zife kule nkqubo njengoko isizwe sisika njengenqanawa ekwaphulwe umphambili wayo. Kwelinye icala, ukuphakamisa ii-odolo ezitshixwayo kwenza abantu babe sesichengeni ngakumbi kutshaba olungabonakaliyo kwaye bathathwe ngurhulumente wamapolisa osebenzayo ngoku, ngelixa kwelinye icala udushe lwasekuhlaleni lubangela ukuba abantu babulalane ngokungenangqiqo. Inye kuphela indlela yokuphuma: phezulu!

Ungquzulwano oluphakathi kwesi sizwe luvula indlela yokuba iTshayina igqibezele umsebenzi wokuphanzisa, njengoko oko kwaboniswa ngabaprofeti belo xesha.^[6] Khumbula amazwi okugqibela kaGeorge Floyd: “Andikwazi kuphefumla.” Ezi azibanga sisingcikivo nje sezizwe ngezizwe ezivela eTshayina nakwezinye izizwe ezingengomaKristu, kodwa zisisikhumbuzo esicacileyo sokuba. ukuphalazwa nokugubungela igazi labamsulwa akunakuze kudlule ngaphandle kokuphawulwa nguThixo.

… kwaye qiniseka ukuba isono sakho siya kukufumana. (Iphuma kwiNumeri 32:23)

IUnited States yayiphambili ekuxhaseni ukugqunywa kwe ukufa kaJamal Khashoggi ukuba athande umhlobo othandabuzayo, kwaye amazwi akhe okugqibela ayefana ncakasana: “Andikwazi kuphefumla.”^[7] Inyani yokuba i-US ingenelela ukumisa ukuhanjiswa kweoyile yaseIran eVenezuela^[8] ngeli xesha kubalulekile, njengoko ngokwenene yonke into isibetho sesibini sibandakanya iyabuya kwakhona, nokuba kunjalo ulawulo lobuzwilakhe, Ku bulala, iimfazwe yeoli, ukopha kwimarike yemasheya, okanye ukunqongophala kobukrelekrele kwakhona kwicala likaDonald Trump. Ngee-Obamas ethetha ngesihloko sikaGeorge Floyd,^[9] mhlawumbi eUnited States, njengoko irhamncwa lesibini yeSityhilelo 13, kungekudala iza kuba nomongameli ababini, njengeVatican irhamncwa lokuqala kwakweso sahluko sinoopopu ababini!

Njengoko i-China ivala inkululeko yaseHong Kong naseTaiwan, kwaye i-US ayiziva ibophelelekile kunokuba ibethe isohlwayo kumaqela onzakeleyo ukukhusela i-China ukuba iwasebenzise "ukukrazula" i-US,^[10] umntu kufuneka abuze ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kubunkokeli bokuziphatha kolona lawulo luphambili lwedemokhrasi yehlabathi! Lithetha ukuthini umnxeba kaLiberty, “Ndinike ukudinwa kwakho, amahlwempu akho, abantu bakho abaxineneyo abalangazelela ukuphefumla ngokukhululekileyo,” xa ichaza ukubandezeleka kwabantu bakowabo phantsi kweemeko ezivaliweyo? Xa uDonald Trump ewenza ngokubanzi abaqhankqalazi njenge "thugs" kwaye ngokubandayo ubeke phantsi umthetho wokuphanga kunye nokudubula,^[11] iphi impembelelo yokuziphatha yesizwe?

Nangenxa yokwanda kokuchasa umthetho, luya kuphola uthando lwabaninzi. ( Mateyu 24:12 )

Ubume bokuziphatha okubi behlabathi obukhokelela kwimithetho yomtshato wesini esifanayo kwi-2015 yayihamba kunye nesiganeko esivuthayo esifana necala likaGeorge Floyd: uFreddie Grey.^[12] Ummangaliso wokuba kutheni ukungavisisani ngokobuhlanga akuzange kubile ngelo xesha phantsi kuka-Obama kunengcaciso yayo kwi ukulibaziseka oko kwayalelwa ngokwesiprofeto seSityhilelo 7:

Ndaza emva koko ndabona izithunywa zezulu ezine, zimi kwiimbombo zone zomhlaba, zibambe imimoya yomine yomhlaba, ukuze kungavuthuzi moya phezu komhlaba, naphezu kolwandle, nakuwuphi na umthi. Ndabona esinye isithunywa sezulu, sinyuka siphuma empumalanga, sinetywina likaThixo ophilileyo; Ungenzi buhlungu umhlaba, nolwandle, nemithi; side sibatywine abakhonzi boThixo wethu emabunzini abo. ( ISityhilelo 7:1-3 )

Oko kulibaziseka kwathengwa ngelelo, ngokufanayo nendlela uqhankqalazo olunoxolo lukaMartin Luther King Omnci. okwakwandisa ngayo ukuzola kwesizwe, kodwa ngoku izithunywa zezulu ezine ziwuyeka uphele umoya wokruthakruthwano—yaye imimoya iyasondela. Ke, ngokutsho kweBhayibhile, isiphelo seli hlabathi sisondele, kwaye lixesha lokuba uguquke kwaye ulungiselele ukubeka yonke into esibingelelweni. Nangona intle kwaye ilungile ukukhathalela indalo, asiyondalo esisengxakini nayo—njengoko uPopu Francis esitsho.^[13]—kodwa uMdali wendalo! Usalibambe ngesandla sakhe ihlabathi, kwaye kufuneka sifune umgangatho ophezulu womthetho wakhe wokuziphatha.

Kwinqaku elilandelayo, imixholo ekuthethwa ngayo apha iya kuchazwa kumxholo weSityhilelo 11 , yaye uya kuqalisa ukuqonda iinyaniso ezinzulu nokholo olungagungqiyo olunokukuzisela iiankile kulo lonke uqhwithela olukhoyo. Njengempendulo yentshukumo ka-Martin Luther King Omnci., lixesha lokuba “sithabathele kwizihlalo [zokwenene]” ukomeleza ukubambelela kwakho kuThixo, kwaye wazi apho Imigca yakhe yedabi zitsaliwe, ukuze ube nokuma ngoxolo nangokuzithemba, nokuba kusebomini okanye ekufeni.

Ungavumeli ukubonakala kwengxaki ye-coronavirus ukuba kukuqhathe- "ingxaki elungileyo" ayizange ichithe,^[14] kwaye ihlabathi alisayi kuba njengangaphambili. Iwotshi (ekumfanekiso ongasentla) ibonisa ukuba siphakathi kobunzima, sibala ukusuka kwindawo yaseSaiph xa i-coronavirus yabhengezwa ukuba iza kuba moya nge-20 kaJanuwari 2020 kwaye ibaleka ngasekunene. Iliza lokuqala liphelile, kodwa iliza lesibini lisemnyango, kwaye liya kuba libi kakhulu. Ukuzola okukhoyo kuphela liliso lesiphango,^[15] kwaye eyona nto imbi kakhulu iseza.^[16] Ngoko ziqinise: emva kwemaski yentsholongwane elandelayo, mangaphi amazwi okugqibela abantu aya kuthi “andikwazi kuphefumla”?
