Esinye seziprofetho ezigqama kakhulu ze-apocalyptic kusAmbulo siyingozi ihora, usuku, inyanga, nonyaka kwabikezelwa phakathi kwecilongo lesithupha nomaye wesibili. Eboshelwe esifungweni sokuthi “akusayikuba khona isikhathi,”^[1] kuphawula ingqopha-mlando ecacile yokuphela komhlaba. Lesi sihloko esifushane sihlola ukuxhumana kwayo okubalulekile nezenzakalo zamanje.

Njengoba kucacisiwe ku ICilongo Lesithupha ividiyo, ukwembuleka kwalesi siprofetho kwaqala ngophawu oluqinisekile: ukuwa okungokomlando kombuso wase-Assad wase-Assad, okukhonjwe njengomzuzu obalulekile ngesandla sewashi lenkanyezi kaNkulunkulu.^[2] e-Orion. I-Iran, omunye umuntu obalulekile kulesi siprofetho, yasola ngokushesha i-US kanye no-Israel ngokuhlela ukuwa kombuso.

"Akufanele kube nokungabaza ukuthi okwenzekile eSyria kuwumphumela wohlelo oluhlangene lwaseMelika kanye neZionist," kusho uKhamenei kumabonakude wombuso. "Sinobufakazi, futhi lobu bufakazi bushiya ngaphandle kokungabaza."^[3] 

Ukuwa kombuso ka-Assad kwayilimaza kakhulu i-Iran, kwabhebhethekisa intukuthelo yayo njengoba ikhono layo lokusebenzisa amandla eduze kwe-Israel ngokusebenzisa iSyria lancipha kakhulu. Ukuhlasela kwezindiza kwa-Israel ezihlokweni zamasosha aseSyria kwaqala ngokushesha futhi kwaqhubeka ezinyangeni ezalandela zesiprofetho, kwanciphisa amathuba okuba amaqembu ahlangene ne-Iran aphinde alawule. NgoDisemba 15, i-Israel yaqala ukuhlasela okushubile kakhulu esifundeni kusukela ngo-2012, okubizwa ngokuthi "ibhomu lokuzamazama komhlaba," idedela i-fireball enkulu yamafu.^[4] Njengokuwa kombuso wakwa-Assad, lolu suku lwaphawulwa ewashini likaNkulunkulu e-Orion, futhi luphawula iphuzu lokushintsha isibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo, lapho ulaka lukaNkulunkulu selugcwele futhi lungaqala ukuthululwa.^[5] 

Njengoba kuhlongozwe ku ICilongo Lesithupha ividiyo, amayunithi amane esikhathi—ihora, usuku, inyanga, nonyaka—zimakwa ngezinyanga ezine ezilandelanayo, ngayinye iqondana neyunithi ngayinye. Ishadi elingezansi libonisa ukuxhumana kwabo:

Isikhathi esibalulekile safika ngokuthwasa kwenyanga emnyama yangomhla zingama-29 kuNdasa, 2025, kanye nokufiphala kwayo ngokwengxenye. Ngaphambi kokuthi kuvele inyanga yokuqala kusihlwa ngoMashi 30, izihloko zezindaba zomhlaba wonke zaqubuka njengoba uMongameli uTrump ekhulisa ukungezwani ngokusabisa okuvusa inkanuko ngokumelene ne-Iran:

“Uma bengenzi isivumelwano, kuzoqhunyiswa amabhomu,” Kusho uTrump engxoxweni yocingo. “Kuzobe kuqhunyiswa amabhomu okufana nalokhu abangakaze bakubone ngaphambili.”^[6] 

Yaqala kanjalo inyanga lapho "umlilo" kwabikezelwa ukuthi izofeza indima yayo ebulalayo esiprofethweni:

Zase zithukululwa izingelosi ezine ezazilungiselwe ihora nosuku nenyanga nomnyaka. ukuze abulale ingxenye yesithathu yabantu. (IsAmbulo 9: 15)

Ngalokho kwabulawa ingxenye yesithathu yabantu; ngomlilo, nangomusi, nangesibabule, okuphuma emilonyeni yawo. ( IsAmbulo 9:18 )

Usongo olukhulu lukaTrump lokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu lunokubaluleka okujulile, njengoba i-Iran igqama kakhulu ezweni isiprofetho secilongo lesithathu, eyaze yaxwayisa nangesikhali sayo esisha, esinamandla kakhulu ngegama: iKhorramshahr. UNkulunkulu usiholele kuleli gama ngo-Agasti 2017, ngaphambi kokuthi sazi isixhumanisi salo ku-arsenal yase-Iran. Lokhu kwakungaphambi kokuthi lo mcibisholo uqale ukuvela esidlangalaleni kanye nezinyanga ezimbalwa ngemuva kokuthi i-Iran iqale ukuwuhlola ngasekuqaleni kwalowo nyaka. Usulungele ukusetshenziswa, usewumcibisholo webanga elide e-Iran namuhla.

Usongo oluvela kumongameli wase-US lwanikezwa ngayo inyanga emnyama lapho isitsha sesine sasikhona elangeni. Okuhambisanayo kuseBhayibhelini. Umlilo, intuthu, nesibabule hambisana ne umlilo ngesitsha sesine solaka lukaNkulunkulu, kwaba mnyama ngolwesihlanu, nesiphetho ngehora lesihlanu ichibi lomlilo we izinhlangano ezintathu ngesikhathi sesithupha.^[7] 

Ngokuphawulekayo, usongo lukaTrump lulandele incwadi ayithumele kumholi wase-Iran ngoMashi 7—usuku indishi yesine yaqala umzila wayo esandleni sika-Orion. Kuyo, unxuse i-Iran ngolimi oluqinile ukuthi ixoxisane ngesivumelwano esisha senuzi.^[8] Njengesitsha sesine, okwavela imiphumela enyangeni ngemuva kokuthululwa kwayo, imiphumela yenkulumo kaTrump ephikisana ne-Iran yavela phakathi nenyanga “yomlilo”, kusukela ngoMashi 30 kuya ku-Ephreli 27, 2025.

Isivumelwano sokuqala senuzi, esakhiwa ngo-2015 ngaphansi kokuphatha kuka-Obama, sashiywa nguTrump ngo-2018, sathathwa njengesivumelwano esibi. Lezi zivumelwano zihlose ukuvimbela i-Iran ekusebenziseni izikhali zayo zenuzi. Nokho, ukunothiswa kwe-uranium yase-Iran kudlule kude amazinga adingekayo ekuphehleni ugesi futhi kungena emngceleni odingekayo ezinhlotsheni ezithile zezikhali zenuzi.

Kusukela uTrump ehoxile esivumelwaneni sase-Iran ngo-2018, a ibhomu lesikhathi selisondele, selilungele ukubhebhethekisa izingxabano zaseMpumalanga Ephakathi zibe impi eqondile. Ngalezi zenzakalo zakamuva, usongo selufinyelele izinga elingakaze libonwe ngaphambili.

USir Richard Dalton uchaze lesi simo “njengesiyingozi kakhulu kwesake saba khona”.

Engxoxweni abe nayo ne-BBC Newsnight, uSir Richard uthe: “Ubungozi bempi phakathi kwe-Israel ne-United States ngakolunye uhlangothi ne-Iran ngakolunye ayikaze ibe ngaphezu kwalokho.”^[9]

Ingabe le nyanga ingaletha umlilo kule ngxabano? UTrump usetshale iqembu lesiteleka esithwala izindiza^[10] namabhomu anamandla enuzi esifundeni,^[11] ngenkathi i-Iran kubikwa ukuthi icubungula isiteleka sokuqala endaweni yase-US e-Indian Ocean.^[12] I-Israel, ngokuqeda izinsongo eziningi zama-proxy e-Iran eduze nemingcele yayo, izimisele ukuvimbela i-Islamic Republic ekufezeni izikhali zenuzi. Ngesonto eledlule, izikhulu eziphezulu zakwa-Israel zikugcizelele lokhu kuphuthuma ngamagama angenakuphikiswa:

"Uhlelo lwenuzi lwase-Iran bekufanele ngabe kade kubhekwana nalo", kusho umthombo omkhulu wakwa-Israel uxwayise muva nje. Izikhulu zakwa-Israel zisaqinisekile ukuthi iTehran izoba sesimweni sokucebisa i-Uranium 233 eyanele [sic] ukukhiqiza izikhali eziningana ze-fission ekugcineni kwe kulenyanga futhi leso sinyathelo sidingeka ngokushesha. Isikhulu sezombusazwe e-Israel e-Jerusalem sitshele iphephandaba lase-UK, i- Ilanga, ukuthi “kubaluleke kakhulu manje kunangaphambili ukumisa isifiso sikaKhamenei senuzi”, wengeza ngokuthi “akukona nje ukuphikelela okuhlanyayo, kubaluleke kakhulu ekuzinzeni kuka-Israyeli nomhlaba.^[13] 

Ngo-Ephreli 14, uTrump ukugcizelele ukuphuthuma, esola i-Iran ngokusebenzisa izingxoxo zangezimpelasonto ukuthola isikhathi. Ukhiphe isexwayiso esiqinile, esabisa ngokungaguquki ngokuthi nge-Iran nezikhali zenuzi, "ngeke babe nayo".

"I-Iran kufanele isuse umqondo wesikhali senuzi. Ngeke babe nesikhali senuzi," kusho uTrump.

Ebuzwa ukuthi ngabe izinketho zase-US zokuphendula zifaka phakathi isiteleka samasosha ezikhungweni zenuzi zaseTehran, uTrump uthe: "Yebo kunjalo."

UTrump uthe abantu base-Irani badinga ukuhamba ngokushesha ukuze bagweme impendulo enzima ngoba "basondele kakhulu" ekwakheni isikhali senuzi.^[14] 

Izingelosi ezake zaboshwa e-Ewufrathe manje sezikhululiwe ngokwesiprofetho secilongo lesithupha.^[15] bema lapho amafu esiphepho ebuthana futhi nemimoya yempi ishuba ngokushesha. Lezi zenzakalo azinikezi isikhathi esiningi.

Uma sibheka kubagcini besikhathi basezulwini phakathi nalezi zikhathi ezingokwesiprofetho ezishubile, sibona ilanga linqamula umlaza wePisces. Yangena ngoMashi 12, lapho incwadi kaTrump yamukelwa yi-Iran, lapho axwayisa khona ngesenzo sezempi^[16] ngaphandle uma isiqede isivumelwano phakathi nezinyanga ezimbili. Ilanga lihlala ePisces kuze kube ngu-Ephreli 18, 2025.

Lokhu kuyaphawuleka, njengoba uPisces eyingelosi ‘ekhoneni lomhlaba’ lika-March, engomunye walabo abanqatshelwe ukulimaza kuze kube yilapho izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zibekwa uphawu.^[17] Njengoba zisondelene nesivuno sikaNkulunkulu, lezi zingelosi zaboshwa umkhuleko wabangcwele ngo-2016 futhi manje sebekhululiwe. Ngakho-ke, lapho lezi zingelosi manje seziqala ukulimaza njengemimoya ye IMpi Yezwe Yesithathu iyadedelwa,^[18] kuwubufakazi obungangabazeki bokuthi abangu-144,000 XNUMX babekwe uphawu, okumemezela ukuvuna kukaNkulunkulu okuseduze.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, thina okushiwo ngaphambili ukuthi ukuma kwenyanga nendawo yethempeli ngo-April 18—ngalo kanye usuku lapho ilanga liphuma ePisces—kubonisa ukunxusa ukuba kufakwe isikela lokuvuna okusanhlamvu okuhle. Kungenzeka yini kube phakathi nalolu suku lapho iphuzu elibilayo lifinyelelwa enhlekeleleni yase-Iran, evusa abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuba babone iqiniso lezikhathi zokugcina? Isikhathi sizokwembula, kodwa ngokuphawulekayo, ilanga bese lingena Aries, iwundlu—umlaza ofanelekayo wokuvunwa kukakolweni, ofanekisela abangu-144,000 XNUMX abalandelayo iWundlu likaNkulunkulu.

Laba yibo abangangcoliswanga ngabesifazane; ngoba bayizintombi. Laba yibo abalandela iWundlu nomaphi lapho liya khona. (IsAmbulo 14: 4)

Isiqondiso sikaNkulunkulu ekuqondeni ukusebenza kwezwi laKhe lesiprofetho sikhanya ngokuphawulekayo esifundweni sethu secilongo lesithathu. Sicaphuna esihlokweni sika-2017, Izimpawu eziya e-Edene:

Icilongo lesithathu liqala ukukhala okukhulu kweNgelosi yesine! Imibhalo yesAmbulo 14:13-19 ihambisana nemibhalo yamacilongo. Ngakho, iSambulo 14:15 singecilongo lesithathu:

Enye ingelosi yaphuma ethempelini, imemeza ngezwi elikhulu kohlezi efwini, ithi: “Faka isikela lakho, uvune, ngokuba isikhathi sokuvuna sesifikile; ngoba isivuno somhlaba sesivuthiwe. ( IsAmbulo 14:15 )

Kungokokuqala emibhalweni yokuvuna ingelosi ikhala ngezwi elikhulu. Kukhona oyedwa kuphela onezwi elikhulu. Ngecilongo lesithupha, ubiza ukuvunwa kwamagilebhisi amabi; lokho kungukuphela komusa.

Lokhu kwakuwukukhala kwecilongo lesithathu elinesibonakaliso sasezulwini—“inkanyezi enkulu evela ezulwini, evutha njengesibani.”^[19] Ngokuhola kukaMoya oNgcwele ocwaningweni olumangalisayo, saqonda ukuthi “wehlela kanjani engxenyeni yesithathu yemifula, naphezu kwemithombo yamanzi”—ngokuqondile edolobheni laseKhorramshahr, e-Iran. Manje, eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili ngemuva kwaleso sexwayiso phakathi nehlandla lokuqala likaTrump, usongo alubikezela lukhula kakhulu kunangaphambili.

Iwashi le-Orion, elaveza ukuthi icilongo lisho isikhathi esingakanani ngo-2017, labonisa ukuthi “icilongo lesithathu nelesithupha lihlotshaniswa kanjani ngendlela ethile.”^[20] Lokhu kuxhumana manje kuya ngokuya kucace. Umaye wesibili, omenyezelwa yicilongo lesithupha, uhilela abadlali abavezwa icilongo lesithathu—i-Iran, ngokungaqondile, ingelosi yokuvuna ebutha ukolweni. Lezi zenzakalo zaprofethwa ngokuzimela ngale nyanga yenyanga, eyaqala nge IJubili le-70. INkosi imile ikulungele ukuqeda umsebenzi Wayo wokugcina emhlabeni.

Ngokuba uyakuqeda umsebenzi, awufinyeze ngokulunga, ngokuba uJehova uyakuwenza umsebenzi omfushane emhlabeni. ( Roma 9:28 )

Njengoba kucashunwe ngaphambili, i-Orion yabonisa ukuthi icilongo lesithupha laliyohlanganisa ukuphela komusa nokuqala kokuvuna amagilebhisi. Manje, njengoba umlilo nentuthu kamaye wesibili kuphumela esibabuleni, inkathi yezwe yomusa ngempela iyophela esikhathini esabikezelwa yicilongo lesithupha. Izwi likaNkulunkulu ngeke libuye lize kodwa izofeza inhloso yayo.^[21] Kwangathi umbuso kaNkulunkulu uvuna isivuno esikhulu njengoba bonke bebona umsebenzi weNkosi kulelihora. Sengathi ungama uqine okholweni uJesu alufunayo ekubuyeni Kwakhe.

Kambe uNkulunkulu kayikuphindisela yini abakhethiweyo bakhe abakhala kuye imini lebusuku, lanxa ebabekezelela? Ngithi kini: Uzabalungisela masinyane. Nokho nxa ifika iNdodana yomuntu, iyakufumana ukukholwa emhlabeni na? (ULuka 18: 7-8)

Ukuze “Yilowo nalowo obiza igama leNkosi uyakusindiswa.” Bazabiza kanjani-ke kuye abangakholwanga kuye, futhi bayakukholwa kanjani kuye abangazange bezwe na? “Yeka ukuthi zinhle kangakanani izinyawo zabashumayela ivangeli lokuthula, abaletha izindaba ezinhle zezinto ezinhle!” Kodwa abalilalelanga bonke ivangeli. Ngokuba u-Isaya uthi: “Nkosi, ngubani okholwe umbiko wethu na? Ngakho-ke ukukholwa kuvela ngokuzwa, ukuzwa kuvela ngezwi likaNkulunkulu. (KwabaseRoma 10: 13-17)
