In Amanzi aneGazi, sabona umfanekiso ocacileyo wendlela “amanzi” asetyenziswa ngayo kumfuziselo wezizwe ngezizwe, nendlela umsinga wamanzi okumela ngayo ukufuduka nokuhamba kwabantu emhlabeni. Siye sabona indlela imithombo yamanzi eyimela ngayo imvelaphi.

Eli nqaku liza kwandisa ezo ngcamango kwiinguqu ezenzekayo (okanye ezenzeke) kuluntu ngoku kwixesha lesibetho sesithathu-kwaye esiye salawula iintloko zeveki emva kweveki: "i-yellow vest" imibhikisho eFransi.

Okokuqala, kufuneka siqonde ukuba iFransi imele imvelaphi yezinto ezibizwa ngokuba yimilinganiselo yaseNtshona. Le ngcamango isekelwe kwimbali yeMvukelo yaseFransi, ekwathi kuyo kwaphuma i-manifesto yokuqala yokungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo. Ezi zithethe zasasazwa ukusuka eFransi ukuya kulo lonke elaseYurophu, ukuya eUnited States, kwaye ekugqibeleni kwihlabathi lonke (nge-UN) kwaye zanda ekubeni yi-UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Kulo mongo, ndincoma kakhulu ividiyo yethu emfutshane malunga ne isimboli saseColumbia, kuba ichukumisa ngokukhawuleza iimpawu ezininzi ezibalulekileyo kunye neengongoma eziphambili ezihambelana nesi sihloko. Xa uqwalasela ukuba ukubhengezwa kwamalungelo oluntu kwathatyathelwa indawo yomthetho wobuthixo kaThixo (okt iMithetho eliShumi), kuya kucaca ukuba iFransi ingumthombo wemilinganiselo eyityhefu, kunye nendlela imijelo yaloo tyhefu yengqondo eye yampompoza ngayo kulo lonke ihlabathi laseNtshona nangaphaya kwayo.

Ngapha koko, iRevolution yesiFrentshi yaba yinguquko abantu ngokuchasene nobukhosi. Ngaloo ndlela, sibona “amanzi” (izizwe, abantu, iintlanga neelwimi) njengothunywashe osebenzayo wenguqulelo ngelo xesha. Ke, kufanelekile ngokupheleleyo ukubona iinguqu ezidlulileyo kunye nezangoku eFransi njengomnye umlinganiso wesimboli semilambo kunye nemithombo yamanzi-ingakumbi iziganeko ezenzeke ngexesha eliphambili lesibetho sesithathu ukusuka ngoNovemba 26 ukuya kwi-18 kaDisemba 2018.

Isishwankathelo “Okusuka Phezulu”

Xa siqwalasela ixesha elingaphezu nje kweeveki ezintathu lesibetho sesithathu, bekuya kuba sengqiqweni ukulindela ukuba imibhalo yeBhayibhile enxulumene noko igubungele malunga nelo xesha. Isicatshulwa sinokwahlulwa sibe ziinxalenye ezintathu ezisisiseko: umgwebo wokuphalazwa, namazwi amabini angqina umgwebo. Inxalenye yokuqala (ukuthulula isitya) kufuneka sithethe ngesiganeko sikaNovemba 26 (esikwenzileyo, njengoko besichazile Amanzi aneGazi), kwaye amazwi amabini azayo emva koko kufuneka athethe malunga nokwenzeka ngexesha eliseleyo (uqhanqalazo lwevest etyheli). Lo ngumbono kanye owenziwe nguThixo ngemiqondiso yasezulwini.

Okokuqala, makhe sihlolisise isicatshulwa size sithelekise noko sikubona esibhakabhakeni. Siya kuyitsiba inxalenye yokuqala ( indinyana 4 ), ekubeni oko bekugutyungelwe ngaphambili. Umdlali olandelayo oza kwaziswa “yingelosi yamanzi:”

Ndeva isithunywa samanzi sisithi. Wena unguye lilungisa, Owu Nkosi, ekhoyo, neyayikho, eya kubakho, ngokuba ugwebe wena ngolo hlobo. Ngokuba baliphalazile igazi labangcwele nelabaprofeti, wabanika igazi ukuba balisele; ngokuba befanelekile. ( ISityhilelo 16:5-6 )

Le ngelosi (okanye umthunywa) ithetha ngobulungisa (okanye ubulungisa) nomgwebo. Ezi zizinto esiqhele ukuzinxulumanisa nezikali: imalunga nezikali nje, okanye umlinganiselo wesigwebo. Emazulwini, lo mfuziselo ufumaneka kwikroza leLibra (izikali). Xa sijongisa amehlo ethu kulo mmandla wezulu ekuqaleni kwesibetho sesithathu, sibona ukuba umthunywa ngenene uthetha ngobulungisa ngenxa yokuwela kwakhe umda ukuya kwikroza leLibra. Umzuzu ochanekileyo nguNovemba 29, 2018, ngosuku olulandelayo emva kokuba yomibini imihla yetrone kwiwotshi idlulile:

Qaphela indlela iMercury, iplanethi yesithunywa, ihambela ngasekunene (kwintshukumo yokubuyisela umva) iwelela eLibra ngalo mhla. Ngale ndlela, umthunywa "uthetha" ngobulungisa beNkosi ngokomfuziselo ngokungena esikalini seLibra.

Sisebenzisa ngamabomu indawo ebanzi yokujonga kumfanekiso ongentla ukubandakanya ikona yeVirgo, apho unokubona iVenus isondela eLibra ukusuka ekunene. IVirgo kunye neVenus zinxulunyaniswa nesibetho sesithathu ngomqondiso omkhulu nomangalisayo,^[1] apho iVirgo imela ingelosi yesithathu kwasixhenxe, ephethe isitya sesibetho sesithathu (iVenus) kumfanekiso wasezulwini oboniswe ziinkwenkwezi zeMazaroti.

Masiqhubeke sihlolisisa ixesha elimisiweyo lesibetho sesithathu size sibone indlela ivesi yokugqibela emelwa ngayo emazulwini.

Ndeva enye iphuma esibingelelweni isithi. Ewe, Nkosi Thixo Somandla, oyinyaniso kwaye lungisa zezakho imigwebo. (ISityhilelo 16: 7)

Kwakhona, umxholo sisigwebo, esimelwa sisikali seLibra. Elinye (ilizwi) liyavakala. Ngaba oku kubhekisela kwiVenus, esiyibone isondela kwiLibra? Ukuba kunjalo, simele sikwazi ukucacisa indlela iVenus edityaniswe ngayo nezikali, ekubeni eli lizwi likwathetha ngemigwebo yokwenyaniso nobulungisa. Akunzima: ukuqhubela phambili iwotshi, sinokufumanisa ukuba iVenus ngokwenene iwela umda ukuya eLibra. kufutshane nesiphelo sesibetho sesithathu sexesha elingundoqo:

Oku kuvisisana nemigwebo yokwenyaniso neyobulungisa ekhankanywe kwesi sibhalo, kodwa umfundi onenyameko welizwi likaThixo ufanele azibuze ukuba eli lizwi liphuma njani ‘esibingelelweni. Oku kuchazwe kwi Umqondiso Omkhulu noMangalisayo weZibetho ezisixhenxe zokugqibela, ukususela ngomzuzu 6:47 . Apho, uya kufunda ukuba iLibra yayibonwa njengesibingelelo kumaxesha amandulo.

Ngaloo ndlela, siwafumene omabini la mazwi amelwa emazulwini kwixesha lexesha lesibetho sesithathu. La mazwi mabini asezulwini ayefuzisela bani? Siza kubuyela kulo mbuzo kamva, kodwa sele kubonakala ukuba ilizwi likaThixo emazulwini liyiphindaphinda ngokugqibeleleyo into ebhaliweyo—konke oko kuhambelana nexesha lewotshi kaThixo. Oku kuthetha ukuba sinokusebenzisa umfuziselo emazulwini nakwiZibhalo kweli xesha lesibetho sesithathu ukuze siqinisekise oko uThixo afuna ukukuthetha ngeziganeko zasemhlabeni eziye zenzeka ngoku.

Imbali iyaphinda

Akukho mathandabuzo: uqhanqalazo lwevest etyheli luyimbali ngeendlela ezininzi kunenye; eyona nto ikhethekileyo siyibonayo namhlanje sisiqhamo seNguquko yaseFransi. INew York Times I-opines ezilandelayo:

Ngenye imini "i-gilet jaune," Ivest yengozi etyheli etyheli eye yafana nesikhalo saseFransi ngamaxabiso epetroli, ukukhula kokungalingani kwengeniso nokunye okuninzi, iya kuphelela kwimyuziyam njengenye yezona mpahla zokuqhankqalaza ezisebenzayo kwimbali.

Nabani na owakhethayo (kwaye akukho mntu ubanga ububhali, njengokuba kungekho mntu uqhubele phambili njengenkokeli yombutho), kwaye ngenxa yaso nasiphi na isizathu, ithuku okanye ingqiqo, yayiyingcamango enamandla. Isebenza kakhulu, enyanisweni, kangangokuba ngoLwesibini umongameli waseFransi, u-Emmanuel Macron, ubhengeze ukuba irhafu yepetroli ayizukunyuswa. Akuzange kubekho uphawu olunyanzelisayo lwemvukelo ukusukela oko abaSans-culottes babambe iibhulukhwe zabo njengendawo yokubona umahluko kunye ne-aristocracy ngexesha. iRevolution yesiFrentshi.

Urhulumente wangoku waseFransi uyinzala yabavukeli ababesilwa noKumkani uLouis XVI, kwaye abo babengabavukeli ekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1700 ngabo abaphetheyo ngoku. Izithebe zijikile, ngandlel’ ithile, yaye abantu abaqhelekileyo ababecinezelwe kwixesha elidlulileyo baye baba ngabacinezeli babantu abaqhelekileyo bale mihla.

Kukho uthelekiso oluninzi phakathi kweNguqulelo yesiFrentshi kunye noqhanqalazo lwevesti etyheli namhlanje, ukuqala ngeyunifomu yabo eyahlulwe ngombala. Iivesti ezityheli, apho abaqhubi beemoto baseFransi banyanzeliswa ngumthetho ukuba baziphathe ezimotweni zabo ukuba bazinxibe xa benxunguphele, zifakwe ngabantu abaqhankqalazayo njengophawu lokunyuka okunxunguphalisayo kwamaxabiso epetroli okubangelwa kukuphunyezwa kukaMacron irhafu yekhabhoni kwindawo yokuhlala iSivumelwano seMozulu. Lo ngumlomo, kwaye siya kuyiqhekeza kancinci ngexesha, kodwa inqaku lokuqala kukuba abantu bakhethe imibala yabo efanayo ukuze bachonge unobangela wabo, njengoko kwenziwa ekuqaleni kweFrentshi Revolution ngo-1789. Wikipedia amanqaku:

Abantu abaqhelekileyo baseke i-National Guard, imidlalo ye-tricolore cockades (i-cocards) eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, emhlophe kunye nebomvu, yenziwe ngokudibanisa i-cockade ebomvu neblue yaseParis kunye ne-cockade emhlophe yenkosi. Ezi cockkade, kwaye ngokukhawuleza ngokulula umbala wabo, yaba luphawu lwenguquko kwaye, kamva, yeFransi ngokwayo.

Ngaloo ndlela, ukukhethwa kwemibala ebomvu, emhlophe, nebhlowu yaseFransi yaba ngumqondiso wesizathu sabo. Asikho nje ngamabona-ndenzile ukuba amanye amazwe (ingakumbi iUnited States) abelane ngesi sikimu sombala njengoko esabelana “ngemilinganiselo” yenguqu epheleleyo yaseFransi. Ikepusi yaseFrigian yayiyeyona nto ikhethekileyo kwiyunifomu yabo, kwaye yayiyi-ayikhoni kanye kaMarianne ene-cap yaseFrigian (uthixokazi wenkululeko wabavukeli) owaphulwa ngabaqhankqalazi. Iisimboli kanye ze-Revolution endala zijolise kubaqhankqalazi be-yellow vest, kuba "imilinganiselo" ye-Revolution ibonakalise ukuba icinezela njengolawulo lukaLouis XVI.

I-France lilizwe elingaqhelekanga kwiintshukumo zoqhanqalazo-ukusuka kuqhanqalazo olukhulu lwabafundi luka-1968 ukuya kuqhankqalazo lwangoku olukhokelwa yimanyano. Kodwa ngexesha loqhanqalazo “lwevest etyheli” olunyakazise izitrato zaseParis kule mpelaveki, abaqhankqalazi babuyele emva kwimbali yabo, ukuya kutsho kwixesha leMvukelo yaseFransi.

Abaqhankqalazi ababematsha ecaleni kweChamps-Elysées ngoMgqibelo (Dec. 1) baye bavakala bekhwaza besithi “Siqhuba uqhankqalazo” kwaye "IMacron ukuya eBastille." I-Arc de Triomphe inomyalezo ngepeyinti yokutshiza: "Sinqumle iintloko ngaphantsi koku," Isalathiso sokufa nguKumkani uLouis XVI kunye nenkosikazi yakhe, uMarie-Antoinette.^[2]

Ukukhokelela ekuqhambukeni kweBastille—ukuqala kweMvukelo yamaFrentshi—iimeko zazifana noko zinjalo namhlanje:

Ngexesha lolawulo lukaLouis XVI, IFransi yajongana nenkulu ingxaki yezoqoqosho, okubangelwa inxalenye yeendleko zokungenelela kwi-Revolution yaseMelika, kwaye yenziwe mandundu ngu a inkqubo yokurhafiswa ebuyela umva.^[3]

Umbandela oyintloko yayikuwohloka kwezoqoqosho kubantu abaqhelekileyo, okubangelwa yirhafu eninzi kumahlwempu nerhafu encinane kwizityebi. Le yimeko kanye yanamhlanje. Uqhanqalazo lwevesti etyheli luqale ngenxa yokunyuswa kwerhafu yepetroli kaMacron, ebeza kuba nefuthe kubasebenzi, ngakumbi kwizithili zasemaphandleni apho kungekho zithuthi zikawonke-wonke. New York Times Iingxelo:

Abo bathe bathabatha inxaxheba [kwivesti yokuqala etyheli yoqhanqalazo] ubukhulu becala yayingamadoda nabafazi abaxhomekeke kwiimoto zabo ukuze baye emsebenzini baze banyamekele iintsapho zabo. Kulo mxube kwakukho abanini bamashishini amancinci, iikontraka ezizimeleyo, amafama, abancedisi emakhaya, abongikazi kunye nabaqhubi beelori. Bahlala kwaye basebenze ngokuyintloko kwiidolophu zasemaphandleni nakwiindawo ezisemaphandleni okanye kwiindawo zedolophu ezinkulu zaseFransi, abaninzi bafumana nje imali eyaneleyo yokuziphilisa.

Namhlanje, abaqhankqalazi baphinde bakhetha iyunifomu echongiweyo ngombala: i-vest ephuzi, kwaye bahlasela ngokukodwa ezo mpawu ezimele iinguqu zangaphambili: i-Frygian-cap-egqoke i-Marianne, kunye nezinye izikhumbuzo zelizwe lenguqu ebomvu-emhlophe kunye ne-blue.

Ngaphambi nje kokuba iBastille ibhukuqwe ngowe-1789, abameli abambalwa babantu bazama ukuthethathethana ngokuvunyelwa yirhuluneli, kodwa—njenganamhlanje—“kwakuncinane kakhulu, kwashiywa lixesha.” Ihlokondiba lahlasela iBastille kwaye iNguquko yayisele iqalile.

Ingxaki yehlabathi

Ukusasazeka koqhanqalazo lwe-yellow vest kwamanye amazwe aseYurophu kubonisa ukuba ukunganeliseki ngokubanzi akukuphela kweFransi. Oku kuyinyaniso nangesizathu soqhanqalazo: ukunyuka kwerhafu yepetroli kwakuyinxalenye yomzamo wokuphumeza irhafu yekhabhoni ekuxhaseni into ebizwa ngokuba yi-Climate Deal (iSivumelwano saseParis). Okuphoxayo (okanye masithi "ngokufanelekileyo"), iParis-apho kwazalelwa khona iSivumelwano seMozulu-yafumana ubunzima bokuwa kwisibetho sesithathu, kodwa iSivumelwano seMozulu sichaphazela ngaphezu kweFransi kuphela. Ichaphazela ihlabathi lonke.

Ngubani oqhuba iipolisi? Imigaqo-nkqubo yaseFransi yangaphambi kwenguqulelo yavela kwintloko yeCawa yamaKatolika. Iirekhodi zembali:

Yayibupapa owawuqalisile umsebenzi owawugqitywa kukungakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo. Umgaqo-nkqubo waseRoma aye aphumeza ezo meko, ezentlalo, ezobupolitika nezonqulo, ezazibangela ukuba iFransi itshatyalaliswe. Ababhali, xa bebhekisela kumasikizi eMvukelo, bathi oku kugabadela kubekwa etroneni nasebandleni. Ngobulungisa obungqongqo bafanele babekwe ityala ebandleni. UbuPopu batyhefa iingqondo zookumkani ngokuchasene noHlaziyo, njengotshaba kwisithsaba, imbambano eyayiya kuba yingozi kuxolo nemvisiswano yesizwe. Yayiyingcaphephe yaseRoma eyathi ngale ndlela yaphefumlela eyona nkohlakalo neyona ngcinezelo inkulu eyayiphuma etroneni. {GC 276.4}

Kusenjalo ke nanamhlanje. Kwakhona yityhefu yeCawa yamaKatolika nomgaqo-nkqubo obangela ingcinezelo eFransi nakwihlabathi liphela. UPapa uFrancis usebenzisa umbuzo wokusingqongileyo njengendlela yokumanyanisa ihlabathi phantsi kwebhanile yakhe "yokuziphatha", kwaye ke ungumphembeleli oxhokonxa abantu behlabathi.

UPope Francis…kwincwadi kapopu kaJuni 2015 Laudato Si': Kukhathalelo lweKhaya lethu Eliqhelekileyo... yandisa imilinganiselo yobuKatolika yokusingqongileyo ukuze ithethelele abo bakwimida yengqondo yezentlalo abangabona basemngciphekweni wotshintsho olukhawulezayo lwemekobume—amahlwempu ehlabathini nakwizizukulwana ezizayo. UPope Francis intsebenziswano esebenzayo kunye neengcali ezikhokelayo kwisayensi yemozulu kunye nophuhliso lwezoqoqosho kunye nembono yakhe njengoPopu wokuqala ongeyena waseYurophu womeleza igalelo lakhe kwintetho yokuziphatha okuhle malunga nobulungisa phakathi kunye naphakathi kwesizukulwana, ukhetho olukhethekileyo kumahlwempu, imigaqo-nkqubo yokunciphisa ikhabhoni, kunye noxanduva oluqhelekileyo kodwa olwahlukileyo kwiingxoxo zemozulu yamazwe ngamazwe. Iinzame zakhe zokukhuthaza ngo-2015 zilindelekile iindibano ezibalulekileyo zeenkokeli zehlabathi, kuquka ukuqinisekiswa kweNgqungquthela yeZizwe eziManyeneyo kwiinjongo zoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo ngoSeptemba 2015 kunye neNkomfa ye-UN yoTshintsho lweMozulu eParis ngoDisemba 2015, kwafikelela kuvutho-ndaba kwisigqibo esingamxhelo mnye phakathi koorhulumente abali-195 sokwamkela iSivumelwano saseParis. Igalelo likaPope Francis kwingxoxo ngemigaqo-nkqubo yemozulu yamazwe ngamazwe kunye neenjongo zophuhliso oluzinzileyo likhuthaze intsebenziswano yezopolitiko ekhokelela kwizivumelwano ezibalulekileyo zamazwe ngamazwe.^[4]

Ngaloo ndlela, ngumgaqo-nkqubo wepopu ophembelela ihlabathi lonke-kwaye iSivumelwano seMozulu asiyiyo yodwa indlela umtyholi afumana ngayo inkxaso yehlabathi kwinjongo yakhe kuThixo.

Akuphosakalanga ukunyamekela imekobume; ikwangumsebenzi onikwe nguThixo. Noko ke, uSathana usebenzisa loo nto ukuze aphumeze iqhinga elibi ngakumbi. Usebenzisa elo “gunya lokuziphatha” ukuze anyanzelise iintlanga zehlabathi ukuba zikhonze Amalungelo Oluntu—oko kukuthi ukunqula indalo endaweni yoMdali. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuyinyamekela kakuhle indalo ngoxa ugatya uMbhali wayo?

Indlela lo mgaqo-nkqubo uchaphazela ngayo ihlabathi ingabonwa kuphela kwimibhikisho ye-yellow vest, kodwa nakwiingxoxo ze-COP24. Isuka e IVatican nge-13 kaDisemba 2018:

Uthethathethwano lokugqibela luyaqhubeka kwiNkomfa yeMozulu yeCOP24 ePoland apho idrafti kulindeleke ukuba inikezelwe ebandakanya a incwadi yomthetho ukuphumeza isivumelwano saseParis.

Ukwenziwa “kwencwadi yomthetho” kuthetha ukuba iSivumelwano seMozulu sinikwa amazinyo. Oko kuthetha ukuba amazwe kwihlabathi liphela aza kujongana notshintsho kwimithetho yawo yasekhaya efana naleyo uMongameli Macron waseFransi ebezama ukuyiphumeza ngokufanelekileyo, ethe yahlangatyezwa nesikhalo sabantu.

Ibhekisa phi le nto? Luthini uqhanqalazo lwevesti etyheli malunga noxinzelelo lwezemali oluhla kakhulu, kwihlabathi liphela? Ngaba oku kuya kuya kuhambela phambili ekuzalisekeni kweSityhilelo 18 , xa lonke urhwebo luba lukhuni yaye iintlanga ezinomsindo zilitshisa ngomlilo ihenyukazi elikhulu?

Imigwebo yeNyaniso noBulungisa

Sabona amazwi amabini kwisibetho sesithathu engqina ubulungisa bemigwebo yesibetho sesithathu. Aba babemelwe emazulwini nguMercury noVenus, bobabini bangena esikalini seLibra kwixesha lesithathu lesibetho. Ngoobani la mangqina asezulwini, avakalisa ukuba uThixo ulilungisa kwimigwebo ebonakaliswe eFransi ngoqhanqalazo lwe-yellow vest, ngenxa yokuba iFransi yaphalaza ngokupheleleyo igazi labangcwele nabaprofeti kwixesha elidlulileyo, kwaye ngoku bafumana oko bafanele?

Ingxelo yaseFransi ekubulaleni abangcwele iyoyikeka kakhulu:

Akukho nalinye ilizwe apho umoya wobutshaba nxamnye noKristu ubonakaliswe ngokuphawulekayo ngakumbi [kunaseFransi]. Akukho lizwe lakha lafumana inkcaso ekrakra nenkohlakalo ngakumbi inyaniso. Kwintshutshiso eyathi iFransi yatyelela abavumi bevangeli, wambethelela emnqamlezweni uKristu emntwini wabafundi baKhe.

Kwiinkulungwane emva kwenkulungwane igazi labangcwele laliphalaziwe. Ngoxa amaWaldo abuncama ubomi bawo kwiintaba zasePiedmont “ngenxa yelizwi likaThixo, nangenxa yobungqina bukaYesu Kristu,” bangqinelwa ngokufanayo nabazalwana babo inyaniso; iiAlbigenses zaseFransi. Ngemihla yoHlaziyo abafundi balo babulawa ngokungcungcuthekiswa ngendlela eyoyikekayo. Ukumkani nezidwangube, abafazi abaziintloko nabathinjana abathambileyo, Iqhayiya nobungangamela besizwe; babebone ngamehlo abo kwiintlungu zabafeli-nkolo bakaYesu. AmaHuguenot akhaliphileyo, silwela amalungelo athe intliziyo yomntu iwagcina angcwele, beliphalazile igazi labo kwiindawo ezininzi ekulilwe nzima. AmaProtestanti ayebalelwa njengabavukeli, ixabiso labekwa phezu kweentloko zabo. bazingelwa njengamarhamncwa. {GC 271}

Ngaba iFransi ayifanelanga ukoyiswa ngamarhamncwa (ngendlela yabaqhankqalazi abanomsindo) ngokulandelelana kwayo? Hayi indlela ekungangqinelani ngayo ukuba uhlanga olwabulala abangcwele bakaThixo lwalufanele luzicingele ukuba luyintloko yabathetheleli bamalungelo abantu!

Wonke umntu olandela indlela efana neFransi ekukhanyeni uThixo aze amisele umthetho wakhe ongcwele ngomthetho owenza uluntu (kunye namalungelo oluntu) lube nguthixo walo, baya kufumana intlango yabo. Nabani na olandela ikhondo lokunyelisa uThixo ngokunyamezela umtshato wesini esinye njengelungelo lomntu, eligxeka ngokuphandle ilungiselelo loMdali, ekugqibeleni uya kufumana inkululeko engunaphakade kuThixo—ekukufa okungunaphakade. Ukususela kudala, iFransi ibikhokele kwimvukelo enxamnye noThixo ngoku esasazeke ehlabathini lonke. NgeFransi yoguquko kubhaliwe kwathiwa:

IFransi yabonisa iimpawu ezaziyahlula ngokukhethekileyo iSodom. Ngexesha leMvukelo kwabonakala imeko yokuwohloka kokuziphatha nokonakala okufana naleyo yazisa intshabalalo kwizixeko zaloo thafa. Kwaye umbhali-mbali ubonisa kunye ukungakholelwa kuThixo kunye nokuziphatha okubi kweFransi, njengoko kunikwe kwisiprofeto: “Into eyayinxibelelene ngokusondeleyo nale mithetho ichaphazela unqulo, yayiyeyoko eyayinciphisa umanyano lomtshato—elona qhina lingcwele abantu banokulwenza, noluhlala luhleli olukhokelela ngokunamandla ngakumbi ekuzimaseni uluntu—ukuya kwimeko yesivumelwano nje soluntu somlinganiswa wexeshana, apho nabaphi na abantu ababini banokubandakanyeka kwaye baziphose ngolonwabo.... [okt umtshato wesini esinye] Ukuba i-fiends bezizimisele ukusebenzela ukufumanisa indlela yokutshabalalisa ngokufanelekileyo nantoni na ehloniphekileyo, ethandekayo, okanye esisigxina kubomi basekhaya, kunye nokufumana kwangaxeshanye isiqinisekiso sokuba ububi ababeyinjongo yabo yokuyidala kufuneka buqhubeke ukusuka kwesinye isizukulwana ukuya kwesinye, ngekhe baqulunqe isicwangciso esisebenzayo ngakumbi sokuthotywa komtshato .... njengoko 'umthendeleko wokukrexeza.'”—Scott, vol. 1, ikh. 17. {GC 270.1}

Ngaba uyayibona indlela oku kufane kubizwe ngokuthi “imilinganiselo” yaseNtshona eye yamkelwa ngokucokisekileyo libutho lehlabathi namhlanje, ngokutshata kwabantu besini esinye nokunyamezelana kweLGBT kubaminxa abo bafuna ukuthobela umthetho wesixhenxe kaThixo? Ngaba uyayiqonda into eyinyani? uphawu lwerhamncwa yiyo?

Kule Iminyaka ye-Aquarius, uThixo uye wathumela umthunywa Wakhe ngokuyinxenye ukuba alinganise ihlabathi ekugwebeni—njengeMercury esikalini saseLibra. Uye wakuphawula ukumvukela kwehlabathi uThixo. Oku othanjisiweyo uqukumbela uluvo lwakhe: “Ulilungisa, Yehova, ngokuba ugwebe ngolo hlobo.” Ukuba uThixo ekugqibeleni uya kulinika ihlabathi imbuyekezo yezenzo zalo, ngoko zilumkele, kuba uThixo akayi kumkhulula onetyala.^[5]

Ngaba wena, ngokobuqu, ukulungele yaye unako ukujongana nemigwebo kaThixo? Ngaba izono zakho zixolelwe, okanye baya kubuya ukuza kubanga ixabiso labo emphefumlweni wakho, njengezono zaseFransi kunye nehlabathi? Namathela kuYesu ngentliziyo yakho yonke!—kuba kungekudala akuyi kubakho enye indlela ngaphandle kokuva “ingqumbo yeMvana.” Njengoko sibonile ngaphambili, uMtshabalalisi ngokwaKhe naye ungena emgwebeni, efanekiselwa nguVenus ongena eLibra. Apha, uVenus umele uYesu, ongqina ubulungisa bukaBawo uSomandla ekuthululeni isibetho sesithathu:

Ndeva enye iphuma esibingelelweni isithi. Nangona kunjalo, INkosi uThixo uSomandla, ziyinyaniso, zinobulungisa izigwebo zakho. (ISityhilelo 16: 7)

UYesu, owabethelelwa emnqamlezweni esibingelelweni saseFransi njengomntu wabalandeli bakhe, uligweba njani ihlabathi? Kwakhona namhlanje uyatshutshiswa ngenxa yembandezelo yawo onke amadoda nabafazi aboyik’ uThixo emhlabeni wonke abasoloko begocagocwa yaye bekhathazwa “ngabavukeli” abakuphela kosukelo lwabo kukukhululeka kumthetho kaThixo. Abantu abalungileyo banyanzelwa ngoko kubizwa ngokuba yimithetho yamalungelo oluntu ukuba banyamezele kwanezona zinto zoyikekayo izono kuThixo, nakwiingcwele zabo kanye. Ngaba oku asikokubulawa kwemiphefumlo yamaKristu okudlula izenzo zenkohlakalo zezona sahluko zimnyama zaseFransi kwiingxelo zembali ezingenakuguqulwa? Ukuba umzimba wawubulewe, uThixo uya kuwuvusa; kodwa ukuba amadoda nabafazi balahlekelwa bubomi banaphakade ngenxa yokuba bedityaniswa imihla ngemihla zizono zehlabathi macala onke de ukholo lufe… ingaba asiyondyikitya yokufa enkulu nengenasiphelo na engaphaya engazange ibonwe yindalo yonke?

Abathanjiswa ababini abavela kummandla wasezulwini baye behla ngamnye ngexesha labo ukuze balibone eli hlabathi—njengezithunywa zezulu ezibini ezatyelela eSodom—yaye ingxelo yabo sele igqityiwe kwanangaphambi kokuphela kwesibetho sesithathu: eli hlabathi ngokwenyaniso nangobulungisa liyifanele imigwebo kaThixo uSomandla.

Ziphakamise, ukuba uyamoyika uThixo, kwaye uwumele ngokuqinileyo umthetho wakhe, kwaye unqule Yena yedwa - hayi ubuntu okanye amalungelo oluntu okanye ubulumko bomntu okanye umntu. NguMenzi kuphela onokulungisa oko konakaliswe ngokungenakulungiseka. Ayikho enye indlela yokulungisa ihlabathi eliye latshatyalaliswa ngabantu ngaphandle kokuthulula umphefumlo wakho kuMdali walo ngokuguquka kwaye uzithobe kuye-kungakhathaliseki ukuba yintoni umphumo.

Ngcwele, ngcwele, ngcwele! Nkosi Thixo Somandla!
