Amehlo ethu avulwe ekukhanyeni okwethulwe encwadini izingxenye ezimbili zokuqala ochungechungeni, futhi sesibonile ukuthi iziprofetho zecilongo lesihlanu nesithupha lesAmbulo zikhomba kanjani empini yokuhweba phakathi kwe-US namanye amazwe-ikakhulukazi i-China-eye yaba sematheni izinyanga. Sibonile ukuthi isiprofetho esiyimpicabadala sesAmbulo 13, esibeke inselele ekuhlakanipheni kwabaningi, sixhumene kanjani nempi yezohwebo kanye ne-ajenda efihliwe yabaholi bomhlaba abaphezulu, nokuthi basebenzisana kanjani ukufeza injongo ebumbene ekuholeni umhlaba ukuba wamukele. uphawu lwesilo.

Lolo phawu mhlawumbe lungesinye sezici ezesabeka kakhulu zesiprofetho sesikhathi sokuphela, abaningi abaye bafuna kanzima ukuyiqonda. Ngeshwa, iningi aliziboni izinkomba ezingokomfanekiso esiprofethweni bese ulinda imithetho edinga i-tattoo noma i-chip ye-RFID efakwa esandleni noma ebunzini. Kuyadabukisa ukuthi udaba olubaluleke kangaka kulesi sikhathi aluqondwa kahle. Nokho siphila njengoba senza ezikhathini zokugcina, okwamanje kuyindaba esemqoka ephushwa emhlabeni wonke, futhi uNkulunkulu unikeze ukuqonda ngokucacile ukuthi luyini ngempela uphawu lwesilo.

Sithemba ukuthi ulandela lezi zixhumanisi ukuze funda ngakho, nokunye okwengeziwe, thwebula or Ukusakaza ividiyo yethu yemizuzu engama-30 ngayo, ngoba ungaqonda ngempela ukuthi izingcezu zephazili zihlangana kanjani, njengoba sesichazile. UNkulunkulu uye waxwayisa abantu Bakhe kaningi ngokwamukela uphawu lwesilo noma ukuhlangana nalabo abakhonza isithombe sakhe, kodwa uma kungacaci ukuthi siyini, lezo zixwayiso ngeke zibe nomphumela wazo.

Izimfihlakalo zezinsuku zokugcina, kuhlanganise nemvelo yophawu lwesilo, zixazululwa ngolwazi lwe Isikhathi. Abaningi bayaqaphela ukuthi sisezikhathini zokugcina, ngokuvamile, kodwa abaqondi ukuthi siseduze kangakanani ekupheleni—ngomqondo olinganisekayo. Ukuze anikeze lokhu kuntuleka, uNkulunkulu wanikeza Umlayezo we-Orion. Esekelwe ekuqondeni kweBhayibheli i-Orion njengewashi likaNkulunkulu lasezulwini, unikeza iziqinisekiso eziqinile mayelana nesikhathi esiqondile nesinembayo esiphila kuso, ngokohlaka olungokwesiprofetho lwesikhathi sokuphela kusAmbulo. I umjikelezo wecilongo isivele inikeze ubufakazi bayo obucacile, ikakhulukazi ku icilongo lesihlanu nelesithupha, futhi manje umjikelezo wezinhlupho ulandela ngokufanele ukuze unikeze abantwana bakaNkulunkulu abafunisisayo bonke ubufakazi bokuthi ukholo lwabo ludinga ukukhula, ukuze bakwazi ukufeza izidingo zabo. ukubiza okuphezulu.

Kule ngxenye, siphetha uchungechunge lwethu ngephunga lenhlupho yokuqala ngokubonisa indlela imiBhalo ngokwayo esifundisa ngayo indlela yokuqonda izimpawu zeBhayibheli njengophawu lwesilo kanye noPhawu Olukhulu lowesifazane ohlanzekile. Bekunokukhulu ukushuba okuzungeze lolo phawu lwangomhla zingama-23 kuSepthemba, 2017, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi asiqondanga, luvele lwaqubuka esikhundleni sokubhula umlilo ovuthayo. waxwayisa umhlaba esikhathini sezinhlupho esiphila kuso manje!

Uma inkolelo evamile yezilonda ezingokoqobo nezilonda ezibuhlungu igxile kakhulu engqondweni yakho, kangangokuthi uyangabaza ukuthi kungenzeka kakade ukuthi siphila esikhathini sezinhlupho, khona-ke uyozuza ngokukhethekile ekuboneni imifanekiso yasezulwini enemininingwane eminingi isikhathi esithile lapho amavesi achaza isenzakalo sezinhlupho egcwaliseka. Manje isitsha sithululelwa emhlabeni, sithinta labo abanophawu lwesilo. Isidingo sokuhlukana nabaqalekisiweyo siyokwenziwa sicace; UNkulunkulu ucela ukholo oluholela esenzweni, kodwa futhi unikeza ubufakazi ngezwi elikhulu elivela ezulwini:

Futhi Ngezwa izwi elikhulu ethempelini, ethi kuzo izingelosi eziyisikhombisa: "Hambani nithulule emhlabeni izitsha zolaka lukaNkulunkulu." Eyokuqala yahamba, yathululela isitsha sayo emhlabeni; kwase kuba khona isilonda esibuhlungu nesibuhlungu phezu kwabantu abanophawu lwesilo, naphezu kwabakhuleka emfanekisweni waso. (Isambulo 16: 1-2)

Izinto Zomoya Ziyabonakala Ngokomoya

Nokho, ngaphambi kokuba siqhubekele phambili, kunesimiso esibalulekile sokuthi, nakuba sisetshenziswa njalo, sidinga ukucaciswa. Kaningi siyehluleka ukubona incazelo kamoya yamazwi kaNkulunkulu. Ukuze kuqashelwe futhi kugwenywe izingibe ezivamile zokuhumusha, kudingekile ukubheka ngale kwencazelo ekha phezulu yombhalo. Cabanga ngalokho uNkulunkulu akusho ngomprofethi u-Isaya:

Ngokuba njengemvula yehla, neqhwa elivela ezulwini, lingabuyi khona, kepha liyayinisela umhlaba, iveza, ihlume, ukuze ihlwanyele umhlwanyeli, nesinkwa esidlayo; liyakuba njalo izwi lami eliphuma emlonyeni wami; kaliyikubuyela kimi lize. kodwa lizakufeza lokho engikuthandayo, lizaphumelela entweni engilithumele kuyo. (Funda u-Isaya 55:10-11.)

Uyaqaphela ukuthi kusho ukuthini lokhu? Izwi likaNkulunkulu alinakubuyela kuYe lingenalutho, okungukuthi, lizogcwaliseka ngandlela thize, kodwa alikwazi ukusho lutho futhi lingabi nancazelo. UNkulunkulu akanakuqamba amanga!^[1] Lapho enikeza izwi lesiprofetho, abaningi balindele ukuba ligcwaliseke ngokoqobo, kodwa uNkulunkulu ukhuluma ngezimpawu, ezinencazelo ngokokuhlangenwe nakho kwabantu Bakhe kuwo wonke umlando. Ngokwesibonelo, ngemva kokuba ubumsulwa obagqokisa abantu bokuqala bulahlekile ngenxa yesono sabo, babekwazi ukubona ukuthi ukugqokiswa izikhumba zezilwane kwaba kanjani uphawu lokubuyiselwa kobumsulwa babo obalahlekela ngokufa koMbambeli. Ngakho, izingubo ezimhlophe ezimsulwa zimelela lokho kulunga okumsulwa kukaKristu, okugqokwa abangcwele ngokukholwa.

Leli ithemba uKristu alinikeza labo kuzo zonke izizukulwane—kuhlanganise nalabo abaye balahlekelwa ubumsulwa babo siqu kubahlukumezi ababi, njengezisulu zokunukubezwa ngokobulili eSontweni LamaKatolika, ngokwesibonelo. UJesu unamandla okubuyisela lobo bumsulwa obebiwe! Nokho, uma umuntu ehluleka ukuqaphela incazelo engokomoya ‘yezingubo ezimhlophe,’ khona-ke umuntu angase enze iphutha acabange ukuthi labo abagqoke izingubo ezimhlophe ngokoqobo bangabantu abalungile!

Futhi omunye wabadala waphendula, wathi kimi. Laba abembethe izingubo ezimhlophe bangobani na? bavela ngaphi na? Ngathi kuye: Nkosi, nguwe owaziyo. Yathi kimi: Laba yibo abaphuma osizini olukhulu, bahlanza izembatho zabo, futhi wabenza mhlophe egazini leWundlu. (Isambulo 7: 13-14)

Futhi ingabe sidinga ukusho ubuze bokwenza izingubo zibe mhlophe egazini langempela? Abafundi bakaJesu babhekana nenkinga efanayo yokubona lapho ekhuluma ngolimi olungokomfanekiso:

Aniqondi kanjani ukuthi angikhulumanga kini ngesinkwa ukuthi nixwaye imvubelo yabaFarisi nabaSadusi na? Khona baqonda ukuthi wayengashongo ukuthi baxwaye imvubelo yesinkwa kodwa isifundiso sabaFarisi nabaSadusi. ( Mathewu 16:11-12 )

Ingabe isinkwa sakho sinemvubelo yezimfundiso zamanga ezithandwayo phakathi kwamaKristu namuhla? Lingakanani iphutha elisakazwa ukungaqondi kahle kwalesi simiso esisodwa sokuhumusha okungokomfanekiso!? Uma ufuna ukuthola ukujula kwencazelo uNkulunkulu acebise ngayo amazwi Akhe esiprofetho, kufanele ukuqonde lokho lapho kusetshenziswa uphawu, ikakhulukazi esiprofethweni, into eyodwa oluyenza ngokuqinisekile angasho lutho yilokho elikushoyo ngokwezwi nezwi! Imvubelo ingase ifanekisele iphutha emfundisweni, ukona enyameni, noma enye into, kodwa ngokuqinisekile hhayi imvubelo esinkwa, ngoba ngaleso sikhathi bekungeke kube uphawu!

Unalesi simiso engqondweni, lapho sifunda izindaba ze ukopha umdlavuza ebandleni kanye nase ukunuka kophenyo, noma izilonda ezijulile, ezinegciwane ukuthi hlupha ibandla, kufanele sikuhlomele ukuqonda indlela inhlupho yokuqala esebenza ngayo esimweni, njengoba iBhayibheli lifanekiselwa ‘njengesilonda esibuhlungu nesibuhlungu.

Iziprofetho Ezingokoqobo Zingaba Izifanekiselo

Kunesimo lapho ngisho neziprofetho ezingokoqobo ziba umfanekiso, ngenxa yesenzakalo esibalulekile noma ushintsho. Lokhu kungenzeka ngisho naseziprofethweni zanamuhla! Uma umprofethi ekhuluma iZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi abantu behluleka ukugcina izimo zesiprofetho, khona-ke isiprofetho ngokuqinisekile sizoba nokugcwaliseka kokomoya kunokugcwaliseka okungokoqobo! Lalela lokho uNkulunkulu akusho kuSolomoni ephusheni:

Futhi uma uhamba phambi kwami, njengalokho uDavide uyihlo wahamba ngobuqotho benhliziyo nangobuqotho, ukwenza njengakho konke engikuyale ngakho, ugcine izimiso zami nezahlulelo zami; Ngiyakumisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho phezu kuka-Israyeli kuze kube phakade; njengalokho ngathembisa uyihlo uDavide, ngathi: ‘Akuyikunqunywa muntu esihlalweni sobukhosi sakwa-Israyeli. Kepha uma niphenduka ekungilandeleni; nina nabantwana benu, aniyikugcina imiyalo yami nezimiso zami engizibeke phambi kwenu, kepha hambani nikhonze abanye onkulunkulu, nikhuleke kubo; Khona ngiyakumnquma u-Israyeli ezweni engibanikile lona; lendlu, engiyingcwelisele igama lami, ngiyakuyilahla ebusweni bami; u-Israyeli uyakuba yisaga nesifenqo phakathi kwabantu bonke: ( 1 AmaKhosi 9:4-7 )

Ibandla elingazinaki izixwayiso zikaNkulunkulu futhi liqhubeke nokuhlubuka, kodwa lilindele ukuba agcwalise izithembiso Zakhe kubo njengabantu Bakhe abakhethekile, liyodumazeka kakhulu. U-Israyeli waba uphawu (noma “isaga”) ngenxa yokuqhubeka nokuhlubuka. Namuhla, simi endaweni lapho uNkulunkulu athembisa ukubeka khona igama lakhe phakade^[2] i-Al-Aqsa Mosque futhi alikho ithempeli likaJehova. Igama lakhe alikho ngoba u-Israyeli ongokoqobo waba uphawu luka-Israyeli ongokomoya!

Uma ningabakaKristu, niyinzalo ka-Abrahama, niyizindlalifa ngokwesithembiso. ( Galathiya 3:29 )^[3]

Izithembiso neziprofetho ezenziwa ngo-Israyeli zanikezwa bonke abakholwa kuJesu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umJuda noma oweZizwe. Lawo maJuda aMenqabayo, aqhubeka ebambelele ezithembisweni ezindala uNkulunkulu ayezenze kuwo, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi ayehluleka ukuhlangabezana nemibandela, izithembiso kwadingeka zigcwaliseke kwabanye abantu—u-Israyeli ongokomoya owabasindisa. wenza ukuhlangabezana nemibandela ngoKristu!^[4] Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, u-Israyeli ongokoqobo ubelokhu ehlanganyela ohlwini oluhlukile lwesiprofetho—hhayi olwabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu ukuba bathwale isivumelwano saKhe, kodwa olwalabo abalahlekelwa umusa kaNkulunkulu. Iziqalekiso hhayi izibusiso ziyagcwaliseka kwa-Israyeli. Lokhu kuphambene nemizwa yalabo ababanjwe umnyakazo weZionism. Isibonelo, sesibonile ukuthi isimemezelo sikaTrump mayelana nokuqashelwa kweJerusalema njengenhloko-dolobha yakwa-Israyeli kwakuyisenzakalo esiyisiprofetho, kodwa saphawula ukuqala kwamasonto angu-70. yenkathazo ku-Israyeli ongokoqobo—hhayi isibusiso kodwa isiqalekiso. Kungenzeka ukuthi u-Israyeli usasebenza njengewashi, kodwa kumelwe sibheke kwenye indawo ukuze sibone indlela izibusiso ezithenjisiwe ezigcwaliseka ngayo kubantu bakaNkulunkulu namuhla!

Ukulandelela Intombi Ngesikhathi

Ukuzama ukuthola u-Israyeli ongokomoya kungaba nzima. Siyazi ukuthi ubuKristu badlula ubuJuda, kodwa namuhla amaKristu amaningi ayayeka futhi ukuhlangabezana nemibandela yesivumelwano—izimfuneko zezibusiso zikaNkulunkulu, ezathenjiswa u-Israyeli ekuqaleni, ukuba zigcwaliseke kubo ngokwabo. Ku esinye isihloko, uzofunda ngoFakazi Ababili nendlela abanikeza ngayo ubufakazi bokwethembeka mayelana nokuthi ikuphi leyo nkampani encane ehlanganisa u-Israyeli ongokomoya. Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi vele bangabaka-Israyeli ongokomoya, kodwa empeleni basemuva kakhulu ukuhlangabezana nezidingo lesivumelwano. Labo abakhethelwe ukuthwala isivumelwano Sakhe kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba kufanele bathembeke futhi bahlale bethembekile, njengomabi wefa. Kuhlale kunjalo, futhi hhayi kancane kubo, ukuthi izithembiso zinemibandela phezu kokwethembeka. UNkulunkulu kufanele abe nabantu abathembekile ukuze banikeze ubufakazi emhlabeni mayelana nesivumelwano Sakhe!

Lesi yisihloko esibaluleke kakhulu, ngoba uma engenabo abantu abathembekile, isivumelwano asinakukhululwa, futhi imbangela yensindiso isengozini! Kuyingxenye yesu, ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenza ngabantu Bakhe. Kuyindikimba ye isihloko esizayo ukubona ukuthi iziprofetho zembula kanjani ukuthi bangobani abaphethe isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu manje. Nokho, kufanele siqale siqonde ukuthi isivumelwano siziguqule kanjani izandla esikhathini esedlule. Namuhla, sinokuqonda okusha okuvela ezulwini ukuze sikucacise kahle ukuthi obani abalandela iWundlu nomaphi lapho liya khona!

Laba yibo abangangcoliswanga ngabesifazane; ngoba bayizintombi. Laba yibo abalandela iWundlu nomaphi lapho liya khona. Laba bahlengwa phakathi kwabantu, balibo kuNkulunkulu nakulo iWundlu. ( IsAmbulo 14:4 )

Isonto likaNkulunkulu elihlanzekile (noma elimsulwa) limelelwa kuseyili wasezulwini umlaza we-Virgo, ngeshwa uvezwa njengowesifazane oyivila kaningi. Uma ucabangela ukuthi umlaza ofanayo umelela isifebe saseBhabhiloni kwezinye izimo,^[5] Umdwebo onjalo awuhlali ungalungile, nokho. Kunoma yikuphi, imigqa yezinkanyezi ngokwayo (eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka esithombeni esingezansi) echaza izingxenye ezintathu ezihlukene zowesifazane (ophuzi) okukhulunywe ngazo ku. Ingxenye 1. Lezo zingxenye ezintathu kubhekiselwa kuzo futhi esibonakalisweni esikhulu sesAmbulo 12 esagcwaliseka ngo-September 23, 2017, kanye nesisodwa ngaphezulu:

Kwabonakala isimangaliso esikhulu ezulwini; owesifazane embethe ilanga, [umzimba wonke, ikakhulukazi ingxenye ephakathi] nenyanga ngaphansi izinyawo zakhe, [isigaba esingezansi] futhi phezu ikhanda lakhe [ingxenye engenhla] umqhele lezinkanyezi eziyishumi nambili [isigaba sesine: U-Leo nezinkanyezi zakhe ezivakashile]: ( IsAmbulo 12:1 )

Ngaphandle kokuphindaphinda yonke imininingwane esesiyichazile kudala, qaphela ukuthi kunezici ezine kulesi siprofetho ezibonakala ngokucacile lapho sibheka isibonakaliso sasezulwini, njengoba nje sibonisiwe. izici ezine ezibalulekile yesiprofetho emuva ngo-2012! Ndawonye, ​​bamele abantu bakaNkulunkulu—ibandla Lakhe—kanye nokukhanya kwabo ngaso sonke isikhathi.

Ingxenye yesine eyengeziwe ibonisa indlela incazelo enembile yesiprofetho esithile engashintsha ngayo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kuye ngokuthi leso sizukulwane sithembekile noma cha. Ngokuvamile umqhele wawungeke ubhekwe njengengxenye ehlukene nenhloko futhi wawungeke udinge ukuba uqondwe njengengxenye ehlukile ukube izingxenye ezintathu zazanele ukumelela abantu bakaNkulunkulu kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi. Nokho, njengoba izwi likaNkulunkulu elivela ezulwini lihlukanisa abantu bakaNkulunkulu namuhla ezizukulwaneni ezidlule, kanjalo amazulu asibonisa ukuthi ingxenye yesine—umqhele wowesifazane—imelela isizukulwane sokugcina sabantu bakaNkulunkulu, abaye bawamukela. konke ukukhanya akunikile kuso sonke isikhathi. Insali ethembekile ephuma enkathini ngayinye yomlando ongcwele yayihlala ithola ingcebo yokukhanya okusha, futhi yalandela esinye isinyathelo esibheke kuBaba (owayemelwe uLeo), kuyilapho abangathembekile besahlezi emuva, bengenalo uthando ngokukhanya okusha.

Okokuqala, abantu bakaNkulunkulu abathembekile phakathi kwamaJuda kuze kube uKristu bamelelwa ingxenye engezansi yowesifazane. Sisanda kubona, nokho, ukuthi u-Israyeli walahlekelwa indawo yakhe esiprofethweni ngokwenqaba uJesu ekufikeni Kwakhe kokuqala. Njengabantu, abazange bamlandele lapho efika emhlabeni okokuqala; esikhundleni salokho, bambulala. Kuze kube namuhla, amaJuda ngobuningi ahlala nesisekelo futhi awakathuthuki okholweni ukuze amukele uKristu. Insali encane kuphela—labo bafundi abambalwa ababethembekile ngesikhathi sokufika Kwakhe—ababengaqhubeka bethwele ukukhanya kwensindiso Yakhe emhlabeni, nokho iziprofetho zaqhubeka zigcwaliseka ngabo!

Ekunyukeni Kwakhe, uJesu wangena wahlala endaweni engcwele yasezulwini,^[6] lapho Akhonza khona^[7] amakhulu eminyaka ngenkathi ibandla emhlabeni likhula. Ibandla lawela ekuhlubukeni, kodwa uNkulunkulu wathumela abaguquli ngokukhanya okuvela eBhayibhelini ukubabuyisela eqinisweni. AmaKristu athembekile aphila ngokuvumelana nakho konke ukukhanya akuthola amelelwa ingxenye ephakathi yowesifazane. Nokho, amahlelo aba umphumela weNguquko enkulu yamaProthestani awazange enze imbuyiselo ephelele eyi-100% ekuhlubukeni kwawo! Kuze kube namuhla, basalokhu besexhaphozini elimile lesiyaluyalu sezimfundiso ngoba ngemva kokufa komguquki ngamunye, abantu bayeka ukuqhubekela phambili neqiniso, kodwa bakha ihlelo elisha.

Lapho uJesu ekugcineni esondela koMdala Wezinsuku^[8] ukuqala usuku olukhulu lokwahlulela,^[9] abantu ayebaphathise iqiniso Lakhe lensindiso abazange baqhubeke Naye ngokholo. Bambalwa kakhulu ekupheleni kwaleyo nkathi^[10] waqaphela ukuhamba kukaJesu endlini engcwele yasezulwini futhi wamlandela ngokukholwa.^[11] Nokho, lapho leyonsali encane ifunda ngobuqotho, ngobulula bokholo njengalokho okwaboniswa ibandla lokuqala, yabona ukuthi iziprofetho zazigcwaliseka kanjani eqenjini labo elincane lamakholwa e-Second Advent angasonti.

Insali yagcina ikhula futhi yaphiwa amaqiniso amaningi ayigugu nokuqonda isiprofetho ngaphezu kwamabandla obuKristu eyaphuma kuwo, njengenhloko ephakama ngaphezu komzimba. Abathembekile phakathi kwabo ezizukulwaneni zabo bafanekiselwa ingxenye engenhla yowesifazane. Nokho, indaba edabukisayo iyaqhubeka, ngoba esizukulwaneni samanje, basahluleka ukuqaphela Izwi lakhe ekhuluma esuka indlu yakhe engcwele e-Orion ukuzilungiselela^[12] ngaphambi kokubuya Kwakhe ukuzokhulula abantu Bakhe “abamsulwa” abamsulwa. Benesono ezinhliziyweni zabo futhi beziqhenya ngolwazi lwabo, baphikelela ekuhlubukeni kwabo njengabangaphambi kwabo futhi balahlekelwa indawo yabo ephakeme eziprofethweni.^[13] Futhi, bambalwa kakhulu abezwa izwi likaJesu futhi bamlandela lapho ephuma endaweni eNgcwelengcwele futhi waqeda ukuncenga Kwakhe. Noma kunjalo, i iziprofetho bezilokhu zigcwaliseka ngalawo ambalwa—futhi lokho kunanini ngaphambili!

Uphawu lokugcina esibonakalisweni sasezulwini umqhele wowesifazane. Njengoba uJesu, umPristi wethu Omkhulu, aqeda inkonzo Yakhe yokukhulumela futhi washintsha izingubo Zakhe, umlaza ommele emazulwini awuseyona i-Orion, kodwa uLeo.^[14] Ngendlela efanayo, abantu baKhe, sebehambile kusukela ekusekelweni kobuJuda nokukhanya kobuKristu bafinyelela ekuqondeni ukuZa kwakhe kwesiBili, ekugcineni. baphakamisela amehlo abo ezulwini, lapho bamlandela khona uLeo.

Ngubani-ke olandela iWundlu nomaphi lapho liya khona? Ingabe amaJuda, enqaba ukufunda incwadi yeTestamente Elidala eyayizobaholela kuYe? Ingabe yilawo maKristu ayeka ukudlula eNgcwelengcwele?^[15] Ngabe ama-Adventist avala izindlebe zawo ekuzweni ubizo Lwakhe?^[16] Singaphendula ngokugcizelela ukuthi “Cha!” ngoba sibona iZwi likaNkulunkulu lilotshwe emazulwini. Kuphela AmaSabatha aphezulu bamukele konke ukukhanya uNkulunkulu akunike khona kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube manje. Ku enye incwadi, sizobonisa ukuthi izibonakaliso zasezulwini zikhomba ngokuqondile kanjani kule nsali encane yensali.^[17] abalandela uJesu futhi bemukele umqhele wokunqoba.

Ukuzindla Okungokwesiprofetho

Ngeke siphike iqiniso lokuthi izimpande zethu zikamoya zilandela ukulandelana komlando wowesifazane wesAmbulo 12, futhi asinakuphika ukuthi sivela eBandleni lamaSeventh-day Adventist,^[18] kodwa sifuna ukwenza izinto ezithile zicace kulabo abangazi okuningi nge-Adventism noma abazi okuningi kangangokuthi kuyabalimaza.

Isikhathi ngasinye, umthwalo wemfanelo wokuba abanikazi besivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wawusuka kwelinye iqembu uyiswe kwelinye ngensali encane eyabonisa ukholo futhi yalandela ukuhola kukaJesu ngokumelene negagasi lokucabanga elidumile. Babengabaza izinkolelo ezingokwesiko ezazivamile zalabo ababebazungezile—kuhlanganise nemikhaya yabo^[19]- futhi wafuna ukuqonda okuphezulu.

Emaqenjini amane akha umlando wabantu bakaNkulunkulu, amabili ayekhona ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngokwesiprofetho. AmaJuda ayephila njengabantu bakaNkulunkulu ngaphambi kokubhujiswa kweJerusalema, okwakuwumfuziselo wokuphela kwezwe. Kwakufanele bamamukele uMsindisi ngaphambi kokuba kudlule isikhathi kubo. Qhathanisa neBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist, elihlale lizikhomba njengebandla lesikhathi sokuphela. Njengoba amaJuda kwakufanele amukele uJesu njengoMsindisi, amaSabatha kwakufanele amamukele njengeNkosi—ngokwamukela uJesu njengoMsindisi. izithunywa eza ebandleni egameni Lakhe phakathi neminyaka yonke, ikakhulukazi ophilayo namuhla. Kodwa njengoba bengazange, kugxile kuwe ukuthatha indawo yabo ngaphambi kokubhujiswa kwezinkolo ezihlubukayo zomhlaba ngenhlupho yesikhombisa—esasele izinyanga ezimbalwa nje. Kusezandleni zakho ukukhanyisa umhlaba ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu emvuleni yakamuva. Leyo mvula isivele inethile, njengoba kungabonwa emakhasini angu-3000+ obekudingekile ukuyibhala, kodwa inkazimulo isazokhanyisa umhlaba ngokugcwele. Ingabe uzovumela uNkulunkulu agcwalise izwi Lakhe^[20] ngawe?

Ngokulahla izithunywa ezazithunyelwe kulo, icala lebandla likhulu—ngokulingana nobukhulu bokukhanya ababengaba nakho, okungaphezu kakhulu kwalokho okwake kwanikelwa kwabanye abantu! Emlandweni wama-Adventist, ayikho inhlekelele enkulu okukhulunywa ngayo ukwedlula leyo yokwenqatshwa komyalezo wengelosi yesine ngo-1888. Kuze kube yileso sikhathi, ibandla lalibheke endleleni efanele, kodwa ukuziqhenya kwangena phakathi kwabaholi futhi baqondisa ibandla ngendlela engafanele. Lowo myalezo wokulunga ngokholo wawuyisiqalo nje salokho okwakuyofinyelela umvuthwandaba Umlayezo we-Orion osukwini lwethu. Yayingatholwa ngokugcwele kusukela ekuqaleni, kodwa njengoba yenqatshwa kwathatha iminyaka eminingi ngaphambi kokuba enye enye inikezwe, kusukela ngo-2010.

Ukube abaholi bebandla ngo-1888 bazithoba ukuze bamukele izithunywa zeqiniso, babeyombona uJesu ebuya ngo-1890—lokho okwakuphawuleka kakhulu okungu-70.^th ijubili kusukela umjikelezo wejubili waqala ekungeneni kukaIsrayeli eZweni Lesithembiso! Lelo jubili lalibaluleke kangangokuthi uNkulunkulu wenza amalungiselelo okuba ibandla libuyele emuva kulelojubili elifanayo ngaphambi kokuba uJesu abuye.^[21]

Ngaleso sikhathi, indikimba eyodwa yokugqama kwezwe eyayiwakhathaza kakhulu amaSeventh-day Adventist kwakuwumthetho wangeSonto. Lapho ucabangela amazwi ka-AT Jones—esinye sezithunywa ezilahliwe uNkulunkulu azithumela kubantu baKhe—ungaqala ukuqonda ukuthi le ndaba yayibaluleke kangakanani emphakathini. Wakhuluma ngakho phambi kwekomidi elincane le-congressional ngo-1889, esiza ukunqoba lo mthethosivivinywa:^[22]

Uvelaphi uMthetho WangeSonto?

Uyini umsuka wayo? Siyini isimilo sayo?

Kusho ukuthini kubantu baseMelika, base-United States, nasemhlabeni?

Le mibuzo ibaluleke kakhulu yonke indawo e-United States namuhla; ngoba emazweni kanye nasezweni, Umthetho wangeSonto ufunwa emhlabeni wonke; ngaphambi kweCongress kanye nezishayamthetho zoMbuso ngeSonto umthetho njalo unxuswa. {I-SLOC 3.1-3.4}

Amazwi akhe aveza ukuthi izimo zenkolo nezombusazwe zangaleso sikhathi zase zilungele ukugcwaliseka kweziprofetho zesikhathi sokuphela ezihlanganisa nomthetho wangeSonto. Amalungu amaningi agcina iSabatha ayeboshiwe futhi aboshwa e-US ngo-1889 ngenxa yokungaqapheli iSonto njengelingcwele. Nokho, lapho abantu bakaNkulunkulu bemenqaba ebusweni bezithunywa Zakhe, akakwazanga ukufeza izithembiso Zakhe kubo, ngakho izimo eziphelele zokugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho zashabalala. Phawula indlela izazi-mlando zama-Adventist zisichaza ngokuxolisa isikhathi ngemva kwalokho:

Ukuyaluyalu umthetho wangeSonto kancane kancane, kodwa eminyakeni eyalandela u-Ellen G. White^[23] wagcina izindaba zokungqubuzana kokugcina phambi kwabaholi besonto. Izikhathi zazingase zishintshe, mayelana nokushushiswa kwangempela kokugcinwa kweSabatha, kodwa izingqinamba kanye nezingqinamba izimiso ezihilelekile yahlala injalo. Kusukela ekufeni kuka-Ellen G. White kuye kwenzeka izinguquko ezengeziwe, kodwa siyakholwa ukuthi izimiso ezifanayo futhi izindaba ezifanayo zizovuselelwa engxabanweni ezayo, ukwethula ukubonakala okuphambene nokho. {3SM 381.3}

Umongameli waleli bandla njengamanje, uTed Wilson uthole ukugxekwa okukhulu ngokuthi kukhona akukho mthetho wangeSonto osendleleni, ngoba engqondweni yama-Adventist, isitatimende esinjalo siyaphika ukuthi siphila ezikhathini zokugcina. Kodwa kulelo phuzu, empeleni walikhuluma iqiniso—futhi ubufakazi bufakazela lokho. Umuntu akanakuchaza isimo sanamuhla sezombangazwe ngokuthi “umthetho wangeSonto ufunwa emhlabeni wonke” noma “ukhuthazwa njalo.” Akusahambi kahle… kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi iziprofetho zehlulekile! UNkulunkulu wayenesu eliyisipele ukuze agcwalise izwi Lakhe.

Ukuze siqonde ukuthi kwenzekani, sidinga ukuqonda indlela yokuhumusha uphawu lwesilwane. Uzobona ukuthi ukuqonda uphawu kuholela kanjani kusixazululo esihle nesivumelanayo esifanelana ngokuphelele nezimo ezikhona emhlabeni namuhla, njengoba sethule Ingxenye 2.

ISonto Lama-Adventist liye lafundisa izizukulwane ngezizukulwane ukuthi uphawu lwesilo luwukugcinwa kweSonto, ngoba isilo sikapapa (esimelelwe “uphondo oluncane” lukaDaniyeli) sabonisa igunya laso okwakucatshangwa ukuthi sikhona ngokushintsha izikhathi nemithetho.^[24] Lokhu kwakuhlanganisa ukubeka iSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa eliseBhayibhelini eceleni futhi esikhundleni salo ngele-Sun-day yalo eyalithwala lisuka eRoma lamaqaba.^[25] Ngakho, ukukhonza ngeSonto kwaba uphawu lwegunya lesilo, ngoba ngokushintsha lowomthetho, lapho kutholakala khona uphawu lukaNkulunkulu, kwamiswa olunye uphawu lwegunya. Kufana nokuthi uma abaphangi bemikhumbi bezolawula umkhumbi: babehlisa ifulegi lomkhumbi abagasele bafake elabo esikhundleni salo.

Leyo kwakuyincazelo eyiqiniso ngokuphelele yophawu lwesilo, kodwa uNkulunkulu akalinganiselwe ekugcwaliseni iZwi laKhe ngaleyo ndlela! Namuhla, ama-Adventist aphuthaza ebumnyameni, ezama ngokujulile ukuthola ubufakazi bomthetho weSonto ozayo, ngoba abona ukuthi isiphetho sesifikile kakade ngenkathi umthetho wangeSonto ukude nezingqondo zabantu abavamile. Bakhubeka Ukukhanya kwakhe okuvela e-Orion ngoba babengalithandi iqiniso, futhi manje abanako ukukhanya kukaNkulunkulu ukuze babone leyo ndaba yomthetho wangeSonto yaba uphawu ngomthetho ophathelene nesimiso sawo esiyiwele, umshado. Bayakhohlwa ukuthi kwakunjani ngasekupheleni kwawo-1880—ukuthi udaba lwangeSonto lwalulunyatheliswa kanjani nsuku zonke futhi lwalunabakhulumeli abaningi abakhuluma amazwi phambi kwesishayamthetho. Ingabe kufanele kube okuhlukile namuhla? Akukho lutho olunjalo mayelana neSonto, kodwa ikhona yonke indawo mayelana nokubekezelelana kwe-LGBT, njll.

Isakhiwo semithetho ngokwayo sivumela ukubonakaliswa ukusuka kolunye uhlangothi kuya kolunye. Kwakukhona izibhebhe ezimbili okwakulotshwe kuzo imiyalo. Ngokwemvelo zihlukana zibe ezine zokuqala mayelana nobuhlobo bethu noNkulunkulu, futhi eziyisithupha zokugcina mayelana nobudlelwane bethu komunye nomunye. Lapho siqala ukwethula ukukhanya mayelana ukushintshana kwamawele, siphawule ukuthi umthetho weSabatha uhambisana nomthetho wesihlanu, wesithupha nowesikhombisa. Eqinisweni, uma sibheka wonke umthetho kancane kancane, sibona ukuthi kukhona ukucabangela okuphelele.

Siyalwa ukuba singabi nabonkulunkulu phambi kukaNkulunkulu (1^st), futhi lokhu kubonakala emyalweni omelene nokuhaha (10^th), okuwukulangazelela izinto zasemhlabeni esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu, okunguye uqobo ongumvuzo wethu. Umyalo wokuthi kungabi nezithombe ezibaziweyo futhi nizikhothamele (2^nd) kubonakala emyalweni omelene nokunikeza ubufakazi bamanga (9^th), ngoba bathi bamelela abasezulwini, kodwa abakwenzi.^[26] Akufanele siliphathe ngeze igama likaNkulunkulu (3^rd), ngoba uma singasithathi isimo Sakhe noma singabuyiseli okweshumi kwenzuzo yethu, siyobe seba igama lakhe.^[27] noma izinsiza Zakhe^[28] (8^th).

Umthetho weSabatha unophawu olunezingxenye ezintathu, oluvame ukufundiswa ama-Adventist: INkosi (igama) yembulwa njengoMenzi (igama) lamazulu, umhlaba, ulwandle, nakho konke okukuwo (indawo), futhi ukuhlonipha lolu phawu kudlulisela isibusiso. Umyalo ubhalwe ngendlela eqondile futhi usebenza njengophawu phezu kwemiyalo yetafula letshe lokuqala lomthetho. Elinye itafula likhombisa umthetho wesine nowesihlanu, wesithupha nowesikhombisa. Ophezulu kunayo yonke, owesihlanu, uwukuphela komunye umyalo obhalwe ngendlela eqondile, futhi unophawu lukaNkulunkulu, ngoba iNkosi (igama) yembulwe njengoMniki (isihloko) seZwe Lesithembiso (indawo), okuwumhlaba omusha, nakho konke okukuwo.

Emyalweni weSabatha, siyakhunjuzwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenza umhlaba nakho konke ukuphila okukuwo, futhi emthethweni wesithupha, sitshelwa ukuthi singabulali—ukuze sisuse impilo yomuntu eyadalwa nguNkulunkulu.

Ekugcineni, njengoba nje uNkulunkulu abusisa futhi walingcwelisa iSabatha emyalweni wesine, kanjalo futhi wabusisa futhi wangcwelisa umshado, ngakho-ke umthetho wesikhombisa uyakwenqabela ukuba ungcoliswe. Ngemva kokusungula umshado, uNkulunkulu wawuvala umsebenzi Wakhe ngokuphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa. Ngakho, zonke izici zomthetho weSabatha zibonakala emiyalweni emithathu ephathelene nokuphila nomndeni (cabanga futhi ukuthi “Ungabulali” kuhlanganisa nokukhipha isisu.^[29]).

Izimpikiswano zokusekela umthetho wangeSonto njengophawu lwesilo zonke zisebenza ngokulinganayo emthethweni womndeni womgunyathi, ukulingana komshado we-LGBT. (Khumbula ukuthi funda, ukubukela, noma thwebula incazelo yethu yophawu lwesilo.) Iziprofetho zingokomoya, futhi incazelo yazo engokomoya ingagcwaliseka ngophawu lwetafula elilodwa lomthetho noma uphawu lwelinye.

Yilokhu ama-Adventist ahlulekayo ukukuqonda, ephikelela ngenkani ukuthi iziprofetho zomthetho wangeSonto kufanele zigcwaliseke ngokoqobo njengoba kulotshiwe, njengoba isiko lebandla liye lafundisa, esikhundleni sokuthi uNkulunkulu wembula kanjani ngeZwi laKhe. Amanye amazwi ahlabayo emBhalweni agcwalisekile kuma-Adventist namuhla ngomzamo wobuqili kaSathane, osebenzayo...

…ngayo yonke inkohliso yokungalungi kwababhubhayo; ngoba kabamukelanga uthando lweqiniso, ukuze basindiswe. Futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu UNkulunkulu uzobathumela ukuduka okunamandla, ukuze bakholwe amanga; ukuze balahlwe bonke abangakholwanga iqiniso, kepha bejabulela ukungalungi. ( 2 Thesalonika 2:10-12 )

Kudingeka ukuthanda iqiniso ngaphezu kwesiko lesonto elamukelekayo. Sinxusa abantu ngabanye ukuba basebenzise inkululeko yabo siqu yokucabanga nokwenza, futhi ‘baphume’ ezinhlanganweni ezidukisiwe ezenqaba ukulandela uNkulunkulu.

Ngenxa yokuthi ama-Adventist ayengenalo uthando lweqiniso alithumela kubo, bathola ukuduka okunamandla ngoshintsho ekugcwalisekeni okungokoqobo njengoba u-Ellen G. White abhala ngakho ekugcwalisekeni kommeleli. Sonke isAmbulo sigcwaliseka ngokushesha nxazonke kubo ngenkathi belindile… futhi balinde… futhi balinde… ukuze lowo mthetho wangeSonto ohlale ungaqondakali ukuthi uvuselelwe. Ngakho-ke, bazenza bangabi namsebenzi ngokuphelele kulabo abathemba ukubakhonza, kuyilapho izinhlupho zehla nxazonke kubo.

Uma ekugcineni umthetho wabo “othandekayo” wangeSonto ufika, kuyofika sekwephuze kakhulu ukuba izinqumo zithathwe ngoNkulunkulu, njengoba leso sikhathi sesidlulile kakade. Umlayezo weSikhathi abawenqabayo ukhuluma ngezwi elicacile bememezela ukuthi izinhlupho seziqalile, osekubonakala manje. Uyobona ukuthi uNkulunkulu usenza ngokucace kangakanani leso simemezelo esivela ezulwini, ekhomba ngokuqondile esambulweni esisabekayo esiphoqelela inhlekelele eSontweni LamaKatolika!

Isinqumo Sokujezisa

Ihlazo lokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokocansi alizange lenzeke ngokuphazima kweso. Asigcini nje ngokukhuluma ngeminyaka engama-70 yamacala okunukubezwa kwezingane ngokobulili—noma kufanele sithi, cishe iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili kusukela isiko lamaRoma lalethwa esontweni kuhlanganise nokuhlukunyezwa kobulili bomuntu ngokuvamile, ukwenqabela ukushada kanye ngasese “nokusebenza okuyichilo”^[30] njengamaRoma. Kodwa sikhuluma ngokuthi amacala okuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokocansi avela kanjani futhi aqala ukunuka phambi komhlaba wonke. Ihlazo lokuhlukumeza ngokocansi libanzi, kunjalo, kodwa phezu kwesizinda se UJohn Jay Report nezinye izici eziye zaba nomthelela enkingeni ekhulayo, uNkulunkulu ukhomba izenzakalo ezibalulekile ezaholela ekugqashukeni kwenhlupho yokuqala.

Eminyakeni yamuva, uphenyo grand jury edolobheni lasePhiladelphia ePennsylvania, e-US, wadlala indima ebalulekile, futhi wabona isiboshwa sokuqala e-US ngokufihla ukuhlukumeza abanye abapristi ababemphethe.^[31] Nokho, “ukumboza” akuchazi isisindo esigcwele sobugebengu. Inqubo evamile emasontweni iwukuba abefundisi basuke kwesinye isifunda noma esontweni baye kwesinye lapho kuphakama izinkinga, noma baze babakhuphulele ezingeni eliphezulu phakathi kwezikhundla. Lokhu kunyakaza njengengxenye yenqubo yokufihla kuveza ezinye izisulu kulowo ozingelayo. Yilokho ngokwengxenye okwenza ukufihla kube kubi kakhulu—hhayi nje kuphela ukuthi isifo asinqandwa, kodwa sibhebhetheka ngokuqhubekayo, futhi abenzi bobubi bayavuzwa esikhundleni sokujeziswa.

Akubangakho ngephutha ukuthi iPhiladelphia—idolobha lase-US elinegama elifanayo neledolobha lasebhayibhelini encwadini yesAmbulo—kwaba inkundla yophenyo olubalulekile ngobugebengu bokunukubezwa ngokobulili eSontweni LamaKatolika olwaholela ophenyweni lwezwe lonke. Liyidolobha elikhulu kunawo wonke esifundazweni sasePennsylvania, futhi njengesizinda salelihlazo, libonisa umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwesonto leqiniso leBhayibheli laseFiladelfiya nesonto elonakele lanamuhla. Ibandla lasebhayibhelini laseFiladelfiya alinakusolwa—into engeke ishiwo ngebandla elingene ehlazweni.

Uma uxhumene neBandla lamaKhatholika, noma ungumKristu nje, ngokuqinisekile usuvele uhlupheka ngenxa yamahlazo, futhi makube kude nathi ukwengeza inhlamba ekulimaleni. Kunalokho, ithemba lethu ukukunikeza kulesi sihloko isisusa esinamandla “sokuphuma”—hhayi ingubo, njengoPapa Francis izimemo, kodwa aphume esontweni elihlazisayo, njengoba abaningi sebenza kakade.^[32] Lokho kungase kube isinyathelo esikhulu futhi esinzima ngokufanayo kwabanye abampilo yabo yonke iboshelwe ebandleni, kodwa kuyindaba yokuphila okuphakade nokufa okuphakade.

Abezindaba babiza kahle umbiko wejaji elikhulu lasePennsylvania ngokuthi “umbiko omubi.” Labo okufanele bazi indlela yensindiso futhi okufanele ngabe baholela abanye kuKristu bayahlangatshezwa futhi balahlwa ngezizathu zabo:

Phakathi nophenyo olukhulu lwamajaji, umpristi owehlisiwe owavuma ukuhlukumeza izingane wagomela ngokuthi wayengawazi umthelela ongathi sína wezenzo zakhe. [Iphini Lommeli Omkhulu Ophakeme] Impendulo kaDye, ecashunwe embikweni: Beningazi yini ukuthi umbhalo ngokwawo uthi kungcono ukugaxa itshe lokugaya entanyeni yakho, uphonswe olwandle kunokuba ulimaze umntwana na?

Ngokusebenzisa imiBhalo, lo mbiko uyilokho kanye oye wabizwa ngakho: “umbiko omubi.” Amacala amaningi awazange ashushiswe ezinkantolo zasemhlabeni, futhi iningi lalabo abenza amacala alizange lijeziswe yizinkantolo zasemhlabeni, kodwa into eyodwa eqinisekile:

...uNkulunkulu iyakuyisa yonke imisebenzi ekwahlulelweni, kanye nakho konke okusithekileyo; noma kuhle, noma kubi. ( UmShumayeli 12:14 )

Futhi uNkulunkulu ukulokhu. Uma uqonda lokho UNkulunkulu akalona nje Uthando, kodwa futhi Isikhathi, khona nizoqonda futhi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uletha kanjani yonke imisebenzi ekwahlulelweni namuhla, njengoba isishayo sokuqala sithululwa. ngesikhathi sayo, ngokwewashi likaNkulunkulu.

“Umsebenzi” wakho njengomuntu ovamile noma kunoma yisiphi esinye isikhundla, esiyokwahlulelwa futhi ngokukamShumayeli 12:14 ngenhla, uwukubona ukuthi ibandla njengenhlangano lilahliwe ngempela. Inesifo esingelapheki; igulela ukufa. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yensindiso ebandleni indlela yokuphuma ngomnyango, futhi umsebenzi wakho uwukusindisa abantu abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka, kuhlanganise nawe, ngokulahla ubulungu bakho noma ukuzihlanganisa nebandla, ukujoyina “ibandla laseFiladelfiya” elingasoleki neliyiqiniso elikhona namuhla.

UNkulunkulu unebandla. Akulona isonto lombhishobhi elikhulu, futhi akulona ukusungulwa kwesizwe, futhi akulona amahlelo ahlukahlukene; ngabantu abathanda uNkulunkulu futhi ugcine imiyalo yaKhe. “Lapho kubuthene ababili noma abathathu egameni laMi, ngilapho phakathi kwabo.” Lapho uKristu ekhona, ngisho naphakathi kwabambalwa abathobekile, leli yibandla likaKristu, ngokuba ubukhona boPhezukonke noNgcwele ohlala phakade bungakha ibandla kuphela. {17MR 81.4}

Ibandla leqiniso liwumzimba walabo, njengoKristu ilungele ukuzidela, kungakhathaliseki izindleko, ukuhlenga abantu bakubo esonweni. Lolo uthando lobuzalwane lweqiniso.

“Idolobha lothando lobuzalwane” laqanjwa ngokungenacala umsunguli walo, uWilliam Penn, kodwa liye lawohloka laba idolobha “lenkanuko yobuzalwane” esikhundleni salokho. Yaziwa “nge-Gayborhood,” ikhaya layo lomgubho omkhulu kakhulu woSuku LukaZwelonke Lokuphuma emhlabeni. Leli dolobha likhethelwe uMhlangano Womhlaba Wemindeni ka-2015, owadonsa izihambeli eziningi ezivela emazweni akude, abanye bengekho esinye isizathu ngaphandle kokubona uPapa Francis lapho. Ngenxa yokuthi uPapa uFrancis wakhetha enye indawo elungele i-LGBT yomhlangano ngo-2018, eyayibizwa ngokuthi “ukudunwa kwe-pro-gay yoMhlangano Womkhaya” wamaKatolika abambelele ngokuqinile emthethweni, lo mbuzo kufanele ubuzwe: Kungani abaholi besonto bethambekela ezindaweni ezinjalo ukuze kube nemihlangano “Yomkhaya?” Izimpendulo ezisheshayo azanelisi.

Ukumisa kukaPapa ePhiladelphia bekusohambweni lwakhe olufanayo eMelika lapho amenywe khona ukuthi azokhuluma nezindlu zombili zeCongress yaseMelika, kanye neGeneral Assembly yeZizwe Ezihlangene. Ungabona indlela ukuxhumana phakathi kwesilo sokuqala nesesibili sesAmbulo 13, njengoba kuchazwe ku Ingxenye II, kwavela isimo. Kwaboniswa ukuthi iCapricornus, imbuzi yasolwandle, imele ukuhlangana kwesilo esivela olwandle (iVatican) nesilo sasemhlabeni (i-United States). Manje uzobona indlela uNkulunkulu asebenzisa ngayo umfanekiso osezulwini ukuze athumele umyalezo ocace kakhulu ngombiko wejaji elikhulu lasePennsylvania:

Inhlanganisela eyake yaba khona ekhulwini yenyanga enegazi ne-Mars eboniswe ngenhla yenzeka engxenyeni yezilwane zasemhlabeni yeCapricornus. ngosuku iNkantolo Ephakeme yasePennsylvania eyala ngalo ukuba kukhululwe yombiko wamajaji amakhulu mayelana nokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokobulili eSontweni LamaKatolika. I-US, njengesilo esinezimpondo ezimbili, esikhuluma njengodrako, nayo iyindawo lapho kwavela khona ihlazo.

Lapho sineplanethi ebomvu, iMars, ikanye nenyanga enegazi—okubhekisela emyalweni ongokomBhalo ‘wokuyivuza ngokuphindwe kabili’ ngezono zayo.^[33] Njengokubizelwa okuphindaphindiwe kwembuyiselo embikweni, iplanethi yempi isho ukuthi kufanele kuthathwe izinyathelo zokulwa—ngisho nokushintsha imithetho efana nemithetho yemingcele—ukuze kulethe imbuyiselo efanele ngamacala ahlasimulisayo aye enziwa ezinganeni ezingasoli lutho nezingakwazi ukuzivikela.

Uma ucabangela ukufanekisa kwe-Capricornus kanye nethuba lalokhu kuhlangana okuhambisana nomyalelo weNkantolo Ephakeme, akubi nje inyanga yegazi yekhulu leminyaka, kodwa ukuqondana kanye kwezinkulungwane ezimbili zeminyaka. Kungaba uNkulunkulu wendawo yonke kuphela—Isikhathi Yena uqobo-ekhomba esinqumweni sokukhipha lombiko njengesiqalo sokuphindisela ngezinhlupho phezu kwesifebe esikhulu.

nezimpondo eziyishumi owazibona phezu kwesilo. laba bayakusizonda isifebe, basenze incithakalo, sibe nqunu; lidle inyama yalo, lisitshise ngomlilo. ( IsAmbulo 17:16 )

Isifebe, iBabiloni, simele ibandla elifeba ezizweni esikhundleni sokuzigcina lihlanzekile kuNkulunkulu kuphela. Umhlaba wonke wawubukela umfanekiso walobu bufebe lapho inhloko yeBandla Lendawo Yonke ikhuluma nazo zonke izizwe zomhlaba ngesikhathi esisodwa ngo-September 25, 2015. Kwakungashiwo kufaneleke nakakhulu ukuthi “umhlaba wonke wamangala ngemva kwesilo.”^[34] Isikhathi sokuqala kusukela ngaleso sikhathi lapho uMkhandlu-jikelele weZizwe Ezihlangene waba khona futhi ngo-September 25—eminyakeni emithathu kamuva—inhloko yesilo sesibili sesAmbulo 13, esinika lonke ukukhulekela kwesilo sokuqala, yakhuluma nezizwe. Manje isilo sokuqala samangala ngaso futhi isilo sesibili senza ukuba umhlaba usidumise ngakho konke "impumelelo" esayenza ngempi yaso yentela egameni likapapa, njengoba kuchazwe encwadini. Ingxenye II. Lapho umhlaba wonke uyahleka umholi oqhoshayo wesizwe esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni ekhuluma “ngalokho akufezile” ngosuku lokukhumbula inkulumo kaPapa uFrancis, kubonakala kucace bha ukuthi ukudunyiswa nodumo akuyi kuye, kodwa “kumuntu ophansi kwekhethini” othobekile.

Uma ucabanga ukuthi icala lilinganiselwe ngaphakathi kweSonto LamaKatolika, cabanga futhi. KwakuyiMelika “yamaProthestani” eyamema isilo sokuqala ukuthi sikhulume neCongress ngo-2015. Kwaba futhi amabandla amaProthestani aseMelika ahlangana ukuze akhethe uDonald Trump njengomongameli wesilo sesibili. Ngokwenza njalo balahla uMyeni wabo bafeba noMbuso. Ubizo lokuphuma eBhabhiloni akulona nje ubizo lokuphuma eBandleni eliKhatholika, kodwa wubizo lokuphuma kuwo wonke amabandla azifebe—ngamanye amazwi, amabandla wonke. Elinecala kunawo wonke iBandla lamaSeventh-day Adventist, okuziqhenya nokujabula kwalo, u-Ben Carson ongenele ukhetho lobumongameli, kwaba yithuluzi elibalulekile ekuhlanganiseni amasonto ngemuva kukaTrump.^[35]

Nokho, amatafula ayaphenduka, njengoba nje isiprofetho sisho. Izizwe seziqala ukuzonda isifebe nokusibeka obala ihlazo phambi kwezwe. Leli hlazo likhulu kangangokuthi ukhadinali waseMelika uthi umama wakhe "enamahloni okuba ngumKatolika. "

Lokhu akusho ukuthi izizwe ngokwazo zishintsha umqondo wazo; izizwe zakhiwe ngamaqembu amaningi, futhi akuzona zonke ezicabanga noma zenze ngendlela efanayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abaholi abanjengoTrump bathanda ukwesekwa abakuboleke ngenani elikhulu labantu bezenkolo bonke abathonywe ohlangothini olufanayo. Muva nje uze waveza eyakhe inhlonipho enkulu kweBandla lamaKhatholika. Ukuhlangana kweSonto noMbuso kungamandla anamandla, acishe afane nonkulunkulu bamashiqela ngaphakathi kwethonya lamasonto. Yilokho okwenza izinto zibenje ukuqhathaniswa kukaTrump noKoresi eyingozi kakhulu, futhi ngokusobala ujabula kakhulu “ngezinkonzo” zamasonto anjalo adayisa ngomzimba. Eqinisweni, usephinde wabavakashela ngethemba lokuthi bazomjabulisa ngakho olunye ukhetho.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kukhona labo, njengoDaniel Dye kanye nejaji elikhulu, abasebenzela amazwe abo ngohlelo lwezobulungiswa ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi amacala anzima ayajeziswa—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubani owenzekayo. Ijaji elikhulu lakhiwa izakhamuzi ezivamile, ezimelela “thina bantu” okuyibona abahlanjalazwa isonto. Kukhona amandla amaningi asebenzayo ngaphakathi “kwesilo” esisodwa sesizwe esisodwa. Iziprofetho nezimpawu zasezulwini zikhuluma ngazo zonke izici ezifanele.

Isonto leqiniso kodwa elingakabonakali, elifanekiselwa emazulwini yiQoqwa Lenkanyezi Yezinyosi^[36] ngaphakathi komlaza weCancer, kwakhiwa yilabo abazokwenza melanani nobubi, kungakhathaliseki izindleko. Umlaza weCancer umi ngakolunye uhlangothi lwendilinga yasezulwini ukusuka kuCapricornus, isitha esinguSathane sabantu bakaNkulunkulu. Ngaleso sizathu, ilanga liqokomisa umlaza Womdlavuza ngesikhathi sokufiphala kwenyanga eCapricornus.^[37] Lokhu kunezincazelo ezimbili: ngomqondo owodwa, kukhombisa “umdlavuza”^[38] emzimbeni wesonto, iNkantolo Ephakeme yasePennsylvania eyanquma ukuyidalula ngokuqondile ngosuku lokusitheka kwenyanga. Nokho, liphinde liqokomise impi phakathi kokuhle nokubi, futhi libonisa ukuthi ukuthethelelwa kuyeza kubantu bakaNkulunkulu beqiniso, abami ekukhanyeni kweLanga Lokulunga—uma behlukana nesifebe sesAmbulo namadodakazi aso, bephephela “emaqenjini” amancane phakathi kohlaka olukhulu lwenkolo yobuProthestani engokomlando.

Ukulungiselela Ukuthulula Izinhlupho

Isikhathi esiholela ku-Agasti 20, 2018 kwakungesona isikhathi sesikhathi lapho icilongo lesithupha lalikhala khona, kodwa futhi kwakuyisikhathi sokulungiselela izinhlupho. Yingakho i- izincwadi zokwahlulela zasezulwini zavalwa; njengasezinkantolo zasemhlabeni, ukudalulwa kwamacala emphakathini kuza ngemva kokuba uphenyo seluphothuliwe. Ukuze isishayo sokuqala sithululwe ngo-August 20, 2018, izincwadi kwadingeka zivalwe ngaphambi kwalokho, futhi kwakufanele kwenziwe amalungiselelo, konke ngesikhathi sokukhala kwecilongo lesithupha. Ngaleso sizathu, izimpawu zasezulwini zecilongo lesithupha zinezincazelo eziningi. Azibonakali nje kuphela ezenzakalweni zokuvalwa koSuku Lokubuyisana, kodwa futhi nasemalungiselelweni okuthulula izitsha zolaka lukaNkulunkulu.^[39]

Isahluko 15 sesAmbulo sichaza izigcawu eziholela enhlupho yokuqala, siqala ngokutholakala isibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo, ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoJuni 30, 2018 ngo ividiyo ifomethi.^[40]

Nami wabona esinye isibonakaliso ezulwini, enkulu futhi emangalisayo, izingelosi eziyisikhombisa zinezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina; ngoba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lugcwaliswa ngazo. ( IsAmbulo 15:1 )

Lesi sibonakaliso—esigcizelelwa kakhulu emiBhalweni—saqinisekisa ukuqala komjikelezo wenhlupho yewashi le-Orion ngezwi likaNkulunkulu elivela emazulwini. Khumbula, isAmbulo kumelwe siqondwe ngokomongo wezulu. Leli vesi lethula isibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo, esichazwa kabanzi kamuva emavesini alandelayo.

Nami wabona into efana ne-a ulwandle lwengilazi kuhlanganiswe nomlilo, nalabo abasinqobileyo isilo nomfanekiso waso nenombolo yegama laso. emi phezu ulwandle lwengilazi, ubambe amahabhu kaNkulunkulu. (Funda isAmbulo 15:2.)

Ukuze lisiqondise ekuqondeni ukuthi isibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo sevesi 1 sizokwembuleka kanjani ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, iBhayibheli libe selichaza imininingwane eyengeziwe, okufanele sikwazi ‘ukuyibona’ emazulwini. Ivesi linikeza izimpawu ezimbalwa ezibalulekile, njengokuthi umuntu onikeza iziqondiso angachaza kanjani izimpawu zendawo ezimbalwa ezibalulekile ukusiza ukukhomba umzila. Izimpawu zomhlaba yilezi: ulwandle lwengilazi (okukhulunywe kabili), abanqobi (abathembekile) abangcwele, namahabhu kaNkulunkulu. Zonke lezi izimpawu zasezulwini esizaziyo.

Ulwandle lwengilazi okukhulunywe ngalo kabili oluxubene nomlilo, sekuyisikhathi eside siluqonda njengolubhekisela kuyi-Orion Nebula, esobala futhi egcwele izinsimbi ezinjengomlilo, “njengengilazi exutshwe nomlilo,” futhi iyindawo lapho iDolobha Elingcwele liyokwehla lisuka khona.^[41] Lokhu kuwuphawu olunamandla lokuthi sidinga ukuba nombono we-Orion njengoba sibheka isithombe sasezulwini leli vesi elisichazayo.

Nokho, kumelwe sihlanganise nabangcwele abanqobayo ngokombono wethu. Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, uphawu lwasezulwini olumelela abantu bakaNkulunkulu yiQembu Lezinyosi kuCancer. Ngakho-ke, umbono wethu akufanele uhlanganise i-Orion kuphela, kodwa neCancer.

Uphawu lokugcina olushiwo amahabhu kaNkulunkulu. Imuphi umlaza omuhle owaziwa ngokubamba ihabhu, futhi uhlala phakathi kwe-Orion neCancer? Ngokwemvelo i-Gemini, cishe njalo evezwa ngehabhu.

Umbuzo kuphela osele uthi: Kufanele sibheke nini kule ndawo? Singayithola impendulo ngoba siyazi 1) kumelwe kube ngaphambi kwesibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo ngo-August 20, njengoba lombhalo uchaza izigcawu eziholela enhluphweni yokuqala, 2) kumelwe kube ngenkathi iCancer yenziwa yasebenza, ngenxa yabangcwele abanqobayo, okuyisihloko esiyinhloko saleli vesi, futhi 3) okuthile okuku-Orion kumelwe kubonise ukuthi “ukuhlala kukasanta” engilazini.

Lapha sibona ngo-August 7/8, 2018—kungakapheli amasonto amabili ngaphambi kokuba kuthululwe isifo sokuqala—zonke izincazelo zevesi. Ilanga, elivula iCancer, ligqamisa iCluster Beehive (Praesepe, noma uMjelo) njengabangcwele abanqobile. Bona bona bame olwandle lwengilazi ngokukhanya okuncane, inyanga, imi phezu (noma phezu) kwe-Orion Nebula. Ilanga likhomba isihloko, futhi inyanga ikhombisa ubudlelwano nolwandle lwengilazi. Futhi phakathi kwezinkanyezi ezimbili ezibuswa yilezi zinkanyiso ezimbili ezinkulu kuneGemini—enikeza i(amahabhu).

Manje sesizibonile zonke izimpawu zethu zaleli vesi, futhi ngalokho sikulungele ukusuka kuleso sikhathi futhi silandele ukulandelana kwezenzakalo ezichazwe emavesini alandelayo.

Amavesi 3 no-4 akhuluma ngokuhlabelela kwengoma kaMose neWundlu. Ingoma ka ukuthobeka kokuzidela ebesilokhu sikugcizelela ngokuphindaphindiwe ngokuphambene kakhulu nokuziqinisekisa kwenhlangano ye-Pride. Njengoba sesikhulume kakhulu ngalokho, sizokucacisa lapha. Lomhlatshelo ukhombisa labo abayonqoba ekugcineni; banamawashi kaNkulunkulu futhi baqonda izimpawu zokuza kukaJesu. Isihloko esizayo izobe igxile endabeni yokuthi obani laba abacula le ngoma, ezosiyisa emvuthwandaba wesAmbulo. Laba yibo abadumisa uNkulunkulu ngokuzibonakalisa Kwakhe ngalesi sikhathi. Ngenhloso yamanje, nokho, ivesi elilandelayo elikhuluma ngqo ngendaba yokuthulula izinhlupho ivesi 5:

Emva kwalokho ngabona, bheka, livuliwe ithempeli letabernakele lobufakazi ezulwini (IsAmbulo 15:5).

Leli vesi elifushane linomlomo, futhi lidinga ukuhlehliswa kancane kancane. Kunamagama amathathu ayisihluthulelo: ithempeli, itabernakele, kanye nobufakazi. Okusho ukuthi lokhu kudlala ezulwini, ukuthi kufanele sibheke ezulwini futhi ukuze siqhathanise esikubonayo lapho nencazelo yeBhayibheli ukuze siqonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu uthini ngaleli vesi.

Okokuqala, ake sithathe “ubufakazi.” Ngokwebhayibheli, ubufakazi bubhekisa eMithethweni Eyishumi ngokuqondile noma ngokuvamile kakhulu esithembisweni sikaNkulunkulu esintwini, esibizwa nangokuthi. iTestamente. Iwumbhalo ongokomthetho obhaliwe oqinisekisa izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu kulabo abazuzayo. Sekuthathe izindlela eziningi kuwo wonke umlando,^[42] futhi ibilokhu iyigugu futhi igadiwe abantu abathembekile kuNkulunkulu, njengoba sesibonile kakade.

Udrako wamthukuthelela owesifazane, wahamba wayokulwa nensali yenzalo yakhe; abagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu, futhi nibe nobufakazi bukaJesu Kristu. (IsAmbulo 12: 17)

Njengoba nje izibhebhe ezimbili zeMithetho Eyishumi zazigcinwe phakathi kwekamu lika-Israyeli, ubufakazi bukaJesu Kristu buyatholakala futhi phakathi kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu namuhla; Ikona ubufakazi babo. Yilokho abakucabangayo, abakhuluma ngakho, abakwenzayo, nabakugqugquzelayo:

Yizwa, Israyeli: The Nkosi uNkulunkulu wethu munye Nkosi: Futhi uzoyithanda Nkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangawo onke amandla akho. Lawa mazwi engikuyala ngawo namuhla ayakuba senhliziyweni yakho, uwafundise kubantwana bakho, ukhulume ngawo. lapho uhlezi endlini yakho, nalapho uhamba endleleni, nalapho ulala, nalapho uvuka. Wowabopha abe luphawu esandleni sakho, abe yisikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho. Wowaloba ezinsikeni zendlu yakho nasemasangweni akho. ( Duteronomi 6:4-9 )

Ubufakazi buphethwe abantu bakaNkulunkulu, abamelelwe iQembu Lezinyosi. Leyo “yindlu” yabo emfanekisweni wasezulwini. Lapho iBhayibheli likhuluma ‘ngetabernakele lobufakazi’ evesini 15:5 , likhuluma ngeCluster Beehive—itabernakele lapho abantu bakaNkulunkulu bekhona nalapho ubufakazi bukhona.

Uma ufunda leli vesi ungacabangi ngesithombe sasezulwini, kuyaxaka ukuthi likhuluma “ngethempeli” “letabernakele,” ngoba ngokuvamile umuntu ucabanga ngetabernakele nethempeli njengento eyodwa, kodwa likhuluma sengathi indlu ethile ingaphakathi kwenye indlu. Nokho, kucace ngokuphelele emfanekisweni wasezulwini: IQembu Lezinyosi (itabernakele) empeleni lingaphakathi “kwethempeli” elikhudlwana le-Cancer yomlaza—elalikhanyiswa yilanga emfanekisweni wasezulwini wevesi elidlule, ngaphambi kokuba ilanga lidlulele kuLeo. Futhi-ke, ukuze ilanga liphume “ethempelini,” umnyango wawudinga ukuvulwa njengoba ivesi lisho (izimpawu eziphuzi kanje):

Isithombe esingenhla sibonisa umzuzu oqondile lapho ilanga lishiya Umdlavuza. Yilapho umnyango weCancer (ithempeli) uvuleka. Ngokwesithembiso esenziwa ebandleni likaNkulunkulu laseFiladelfiya, iLanga Lokulunga lavula umnyango:

Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseFiladelfiya loba ukuthi; Nakhu akushoyo ongcwele, oqinisileyo, onesihluthulelo sikaDavide INgonyama yesizwe sakwaJuda, ovula kungavali muntu; avale kungavuli muntu; ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho; bheka, ngimisile phambi kwakho umnyango ovulekile; akakho ongalivala, ngokuba unamandla amancane, uligcinile izwi lami, kawuliphikanga igama lami. ( IsAmbulo 3:7-8 )

Umfanekiso wokuvulwa kwethempeli evesini 15:5 ukhuluma ngosuku oluqondile ilanga elangena ngalo uLeo—August 10/11, 2018—futhi ngaleyo ndlela iLanga Lokulunga labonakala lisezingubo Zakhe zobukhosi lilungele ukusebenzisa amandla Akhe okuphatha ukuze ajezise ababi. Lona umongo lapho sonke isahluko siqala khona, njengoba kubekwe esahlukweni esingaphambili:

Nengelosi afake isikela lakhe emhlabeni, yawukha umvini womhlaba, yawuphonsa esikhamweni sewayini esikhulu solaka lukaNkulunkulu. ( IsAmbulo 14:19 )

Ukugcwaliseka kwesAmbulo 14:19 , okubonisa ukuvunwa kwamagilebhisi amabi, kufanele kuhlobene ne-Sickle asterism of Leo, ngendlela efanayo nendlela isikela lenyanga elasebenza ngayo esandleni sika-Orion ngenkathi uJesu enxusa njengomPristi Ophakeme.^[43] Kodwa emfanekisweni wesahluko 15, inyanga ayisachazwa njengesilikela kodwa njengesitsha—indebe yolaka lukaNkulunkulu ethwala izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina.

Evesini elilandelayo ngokulandelana kwesAmbulo 15, kufanele sikwazi ukubona “izingelosi” eziyisikhombisa:

Zase ziphuma ethempelini izingelosi eziyisikhombisa. benezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa, bembethe ilineni elihlanzekileyo nelimhlophe, bebophe izifuba ngamabhande egolide. ( IsAmbulo 15:6 )

Njengoba bephuma ethempelini, siqala ethempelini, kuhlanganisa nethempeli ngokwalo ngendlela yaseBhayibhelini ehlanganisa amaJuda, ukubheka nokubala izingelosi. Yebo, manje sibala izingelosi eziyisikhombisa zenhlupho ezaboniswa ngesibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo: Umdlavuza (wenhlupho yokuqala), uLeo (owesibili), uVirgo, uLibra, u-Ophiuchus/uScorpius, iSagittarius, futhi ekugcineni uCapricornus. Lezi “izingelosi” eziyisikhombisa (imilaza) zivela ethempelini, iCancer (ihlanganisa).

Kuleli qophelo, ivesi elilandelayo leSambulo 15 liyagcwaliseka:

Futhi enye ye izilo ezine wanika izingelosi eziyisikhombisa izitsha zegolide eziyisikhombisa zigcwele ulaka lukaNkulunkulu ophilayo kuze kube phakade naphakade. ( IsAmbulo 15:7 )

Lapha sithola ikhambi lemfumbe okungekho omunye umhumushi weBhayibheli owake wayichaza. Kunezidalwa ezine ezihlukene eziphilayo, noma “izilo” ezizungeze isihlalo sobukhosi embonweni wegumbi lesihlalo sobukhosi wesAmbulo 4 , futhi umbhalo awunikezi ncazelo eyengeziwe mayelana nokuthi yimuphi oletha izitsha zolaka. Ngokubheka umkhathi kuphela lapho singabona khona ukuthi kwakunguLeo-ingonyama-owethula izitsha zezinhlupho ezingelosini eziyisikhombisa ngenxa yokuthi ilanga lenza uLeo asebenze ngalesi sikhathi.

Esithombeni esedlule, ungabona ukuthi ukuhlangana kwenyanga neMercury kuseduze kakhulu (kungakapheli amahora ama-2) ngesikhathi ilanga livula i-Leo. Ilanga nenyanga zisebenza ndawonye lapha ukuze zixoxe indaba yasezulwini, ngokufanayo nendlela ezazisebenza ngayo ndawonye ngaphambili ukuze zibonise ubuhlobo phakathi kwabangcwele abanqobile kuCancer nolwandle lwengilazi e-Orion. Kulokhu, njengoba uLeo, ecushwa yilanga, efanekisela “umnikezeli” wezinhlupho ezizothululwa, umkhumbi wenyanga wawuyokhomba ngokunengqondo ingelosi “eyamukelayo” nesitsha sayo. Sesijwayele ukwazi inyanga njengesitsha.^[44] ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokugcwaliswa kwayo kanye nokuchithwa kwayo njalo ngenyanga.

Ukuhlangana ngokushesha kwenyanga neMercury kubonisa ingelosi yokuqala yenhlupho, Umdlavuza, ithola uketshezi lwenhlupho ngenyanga ingene ebhodleleni layo, iMercury, ngo-August 10/11, 2018. Okulandelayo, inyanga ishesha iya elangeni ukuze ingelosi yenhlupho yesibili, uLeo, ithole inhlupho yayo esitsheni sayo, ilanga. Qaphela ukuthi imilaza namaplanethi (noma ilanga kuleli cala) anezindima ezimbili. Isilo asiziniki inhlupho, kodwa emfanekisweni wasezulwini uLeo umele kokubili isilo esinikezayo kanye nengelosi yenhlupho yesibili. Ngokufanayo, ilanga linendima yokwenza isilo sengonyama sisebenze, futhi lisebenza njengesitsha sengelosi yesibili yenhlupho. Kufanele siqikelele ukugcina umehluko walezi zindima.

Ngokulandelayo, inyanga iya eVirgo, njengengelosi yenhlupho yesithathu, ukuze ilethe inhlupho ebhodleleni layo, iVenus, njalonjalo. Indaba yonke ixoxwa emazulwini. Le nqubo yokusabalalisa iqala ngo-August 10/11, 2018 (esivele siyibone njengosuku olubalulekile) futhi yenzeka ngesikhathi uLeo—esinye sezilo ezine—ecushwa ilanga, ekugcwalisekeni kombhalo.

Sesifundile kakade emfanekisweni wecilongo lesithupha ukuthi inyanga emnyama eseduze nelanga elivuthayo imelela intuthu, futhi siphinde sibone ukuthi lapho ukusakazwa kwenhlupho kuqala (okufanekiselwe ekuqaleni lapho ilanga “livula umnyango” wethempeli) kanye nenyanga entsha—esekuCancer—isondela eduze nelanga, iBhayibheli liphinde likhulume ngomusi:

Ithempeli lagcwala ubhema enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu nasemandleni akhe; futhi kwakungekho muntu owayengangena ethempelini, zize zigcwaliseke izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zezingelosi eziyisikhombisa. ( IsAmbulo 15:8 )

Ilanga eLeo, elifanekisela inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, likhukhula ethempelini (Umdlavuza). Inyanga ifanekiselwa lokho kukhanya njengomusi ovela enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuthakazelisayo, akekho owayekwazi ukungena ethempelini kwaze kwaba ngemva kwezinhlupho. Ingabe lokho kusho ukuthi umdlavuza ngeke uthole amaplanethi avakashile ngaleso sikhathi, uma iMercury isihambile? Lokho kulungile! I-Mercury ihamba ngo-August 29, 2018, futhi ngaphandle kwenyanga, echazwe kumongo waleli vesi ngokuthi “umusi” ogcwele ithempeli njengoba uvunguza inyanga ngayinye, ayikho enye iplanethi eke iphinde ingene kuCancer kuze kubuye iMercury ngoJuni 24, 2019—isikhathi esingaphezu kwenyanga ngemva kokuza Kwesibili. Ihambisana kahle nombhalo; akukho “muntu” owakwazi ukungena zize zigcwaliseke izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa.

Manje sesingeniswa ngqo esahlukweni esilandelayo, lapho kuthelwa khona izinhlupho.

Futhi ngezwa a izwi elikhulu ephuma ethempelini, ethi kuzo izingelosi eziyisikhombisa. Hambani, nithulule izitsha zolaka lukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni. ( IsAmbulo 16:1 )

Izwi elikhulu libonisa enye yezinkanyiso ezinkulu ezulwini. Ukuba khona kwelanga eLeo, limi emnyango “wethempeli” kusho ukuqala kokuthululwa kolaka lukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, njengoba sekuqondwe kakade. Nokho, kunesikhathi esincane lapho izingelosi eziyisikhombisa okumelwe ‘zihambe’ ziye ezindaweni zazo ezimisiwe ngesikhathi. Lokho kusho ukuthi uma sifuna ukuqonda ukuthi izinhlupho (ikakhulukazi ezokuqala) zithululwa kanjani ngokwezehlakalo zomhlaba wangempela, sidinga ukulandelela okwenzeka emazulwini kusukela kuleli phuzu kuya phambili kuze kuthululwe inhlupho yokuqala.

Futhi Owokuqala Wahamba...

Njengoba silandela ukunyakaza kwasezulwini ukuya phambili kusukela ephuzwini langaphambilini, ngo-Agasti 10/11, 2018, into yokuqala ethakazelisayo esibamba ukunaka kwethu ukuthi inyanga esheshayo isheshe ihlangane noVenus, isikhundla sakhe engxenyeni yekhanda namahlombe e-Virgo esasivele siyibonile. Ingxenye I ukuba nokubaluleka okukhulu kumongo wokuhunyushwa kwecilongo lesithupha. Manje, inyanga ifika njengengxenye yokulethwa kwezinhlupho (inhlupho yesithathu, njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili).

Khumbula, iVenus iphinde idlulisele umbala osagolide enkomishini (umlaza weCrater), njengoba kuchazwe ku Isiphetho Somkhulu. Ngale ndlela, i-Virgo imelela isonto lesifebe ngokuba nendebe yegolide esandleni sayo.

Nowesifazane wayevunule ngokunsomi nokubomvu, evunule ngegolide namatshe anenani namaparele; ephethe indebe yegolide esandleni sakhe egcwele amanyala nokungcola kobufebe balo: (IsAmbulo 17:4)

Ngakho-ke, esithombeni esingenhla, ngaphezu kwenyanga ekhombisa ukulethwa kwezinhlupho, siphinde sibe nesithombe seVenus, endimeni yayo njengombhubhisi, onikwe amandla ngalokho kulethwa. Usekulungele ukugadla ebuholini beBandla ngalolu suku lwangomhla ziyi-14 kuNcwaba wezi-2018. Konke sekumi ngomumo futhi sekumiselwe inhlupho yokuqala ezolandela.

Wahamba owokuqala. wathululela umganu wakhe emhlabeni; kwasekuvela isilonda esibi esibuhlungu phezu kwabantu ababelophawu lwesilo, labo abakhonza umfanekiso waso. ( IsAmbulo 16:2 )

Lokhu “kuya” ukuthulula inhlupho kukhulunywa ngakho engelosini yokuqala kuphela. Lokho kunengqondo, njengoba ezinye izingelosi zinesikhathi esanele sokuya ezikhundleni zazo, kodwa nokho kubonisa isici esiyingqayizivele senhlupho yokuqala: isibonakaliso sasezulwini sibonisa isenzakalo sango-August 14, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba inhlupho ithululwe.

Isenzakalo sasemhlabeni, kunjalo, kwakuwumbiko womphakathi mayelana nehlazo lokunukubezwa ngokobulili elaletha isilonda esibuhlungu nesibuhlungu senhlupho yokuqala phezu kwezwe elesaba izilo—kodwa masingasheshi. Lapho inkantolo, ngomhla zingama-27 kuJulayi, iyala ukukhululwa kombiko wejaji elikhulu, bahlanganisa nomnqamulajuqu wokushicilela lo mbiko: Agasti 14, 2018. Ngenxa yalesi sikhathi esinqunyiwe, ukukhishwa kombiko akuzange kubamangaze labo ababelandela okwenzekayo. Ngokuqinisekile akuzange kummangaze uPapa Francis, owathi tweeted ngakho amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokukhululwa kwayo. Isifinyezo esingenhla sibonisa amazulu ngesikhathi se-tweet yakhe, efundeka kanje:

Nanamuhla baningi abafel’ ukholo, baningi kakhulu abashushiswa ngenxa yothando lukaKristu. Bangamandla angempela eBandla!

Umqondo womfel' ukholo awukwazanga ukuvela ngokusobala ku-tweet yakhe. Yabangela ukusabela okungekuhle okuhlukahlukene, ngokuyinhloko ngenxa yokungakhulumi ngezinsolo ezibucayi ezibhekiswe eBandleni ezazizoshicilelwa ngalolo suku. Noma kunjalo, kubonisa ukuthi uPapa uFrancis wayekulindele, futhi wayefuna ukuhlanganisa “abafel’ ukholo” akanye nabo ukuze balungele “ukushushiswa” “ngenxa yothando” luka “Kristu.”^[45]

Iqiniso lokuthi ubelindele umbiko lifaka umbala omnyama ezimpendulweni zakhe mayelana nokuhlukunyezwa, kokubili esidlangalaleni ngemva kombiko, nangaphakathi kweVatican ngaphambi kombiko. Ukwehluleka kwakhe ukuphatha izono ezimbi kangaka ngobulukhuni obufanele ngolwazi olugcwele kangangokuthi ibandla laliphenywa futhi licutshungulwa kukhombisa ukuthi yena ngokwakhe akazibheki iziphambeko njengezono ezinkulu. As uthe ngemva kombiko:

…kubukeka sengathi uMmangaleli Omkhulu ukhululiwe futhi usenjalo ehlasela ababhishobhi [do the children matter?]. Yiqiniso, sonke siyizoni, thina babhishobhi. Uzama ukwembula izono, ukuze zibonakale ukuze ahlazeke abantu.

Amazwi akhe abeka abahlukumezi bezingane ngokobulili ezingeni elifanayo “nazo zonke izoni”, noma avume ukuthi bonke ababhishobhi (okuhlanganisa naye) banecala lezono eziyihlazo. Kunoma ikuphi, kukhombisa ithimba likanembeza elingakaze libonwe njengobupapa bakhe futhi elingasifaneli ngokulinganayo isikhundla sakhe—ngaphandle uma uqonda. ukuthi ihhovisi lakhe ngempela kunjalo.

Isisho esingenhla sinika ukukhanya okusha kokuthi wayeqonde ukuthini ngesisho sakhe esinegciwane, “Ngingubani mina ukuba ngahlulele?” Kungenzeka yini ukuthi esikhundleni sokuvela ekuthobekeni okwakucatshangwa ukuthi kwakuwukuvuma icala? “Thina babhishobhi sonke siyizoni,” futhi “sonke senze izinto eziyihlazo ngokufanayo, ngakho singobani thina ukuba sahlulele ungqingili othi ukholelwa kuKristu?” “Emazwini acacisayo,” upapa washo lokho ufuna ongqingili beze bazovuma. Cabanga isikhashana manje. Ucabanga ukuthi kwenzekani lapho abafana abancane abangongqingili bephumela kumfundisi, uma umpristi ngokwakhe engumhlaseli? Ngokusobala kuyisimo esihle ukuhlonza inyama esanda kuhlaselwa! Lonke uhlelo lwenzelwe ukukhuthaza umdlavuza wobungqingili: okokuqala, ukuvuma izono kunikeza indlela yokuthi umdlavuza ukhule ngaphansi kwe-radar, kuyilapho i-metastasis evamile iqhutshwa ukudluliselwa kwabefundisi noma nini lapho kunenkinga. Kuwuhlelo oluvame ukuhlaselwa umdlavuza, futhi akukho “ukwelashwa” okungase kukwazi ukuwelapha.

Okuyiqiniso icala ngomqondo kufanele kwanele ukukhombisa inkinga. Isitabane saya kovuma izono (hhayi ngokudalulwa igama) futhi asizange sinikezwe isijeziso, ukwelulekwa, akukho lutho… futhi kamuva uba isishoshovu samalungelo ongqingili. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini eyenzekayo noma engenzeki ngaphandle kweminyango evaliwe, isipiliyoni sokuvuma isono esiyisibonelo esivezwe kuleli cala siholela ekuqhutshekiselweni phambili kwe-ajenda ye-LGBT, futhi yileyo ndlela upapa afuna ngayo.

Othile angase alingeke ukuba aphakamise izingxabano ezivamile zomuntu wotshani. Phela, kungaba unya olungakanani ngomfundisi ukulahla ingane empofu eyisitabane esihogweni ngento angakwazi ukuyilawula? Udaba luphendulwa ngokushesha nangokungangabazeki ngokuthi, “Ungakwenzi.” Ungenzi ngokuvumelana nemibono engalungile. Imicabango engalungile ayisona isono, kodwa ukwenza ngayo kuyisono. Ungakwenzi ukuziphatha okungcolile. Akuhlukile kunanoma yimuphi omunye “Awuyikuba.” Kusobala futhi kulula, futhi akubeki cala kunoma yimuphi umuntu ohlonza i-LGBT inqobo nje uma engenzi izenzo zesono.

Uma wenza kahle, awuyikwamukeleka na? uma ungenzi kahle, isono sihlezi ngasemnyango. Ukufisa kwakhe kuyakuba kuwe, wena ubuse phezu kwakhe. ( Genesise 4:7 )

Inkinga iwukuthi, izwe alifuni ukungabi nasono. Umhlaba uyaziqhenya ngokuziphatha kwawo okuxekethile, futhi inhlangano ye-Pride isho kanjalo egameni layo. Inhloso yawo ukwenza kube semthethweni kanye nokukhuthaza isono esibhubhisa unembeza emhlabeni wonke.

Lapho umuntu enza izenzo zokuzehlisa njengoba ucansi, obeye aziwe njengo ubuggery, umuntu onjalo ukhipha owakhe unembeza. Umuntu akanakuba nonembeza ophelele kuyilapho enza isigaba sezenzo ezingcolile ezigunyazwa umshado wobulili obufanayo. Ngemva kwezahluko eziningi ezichaza izimfuneko ezifanele zomshado zabefundisi, uPawulu uthi okulandelayo:

Kepha uMoya usho ngokucacile ukuthi ngezikhathi zokugcina abanye bayakuhlubuka ekukholweni, benaka omoya abadukisayo nezifundiso zamademoni; Ukukhuluma amanga ngokuzenzisa; unembeza wabo oshile [Strong's: to brand (“cauterize”)] ngensimbi eshisayo; Ukwenqabela ukushada... (I-1 uThimothi 4: 1-3)

Lokhu kuyicala eliqondile leSonto LamaKatolika ngemfundiso yalo nomkhuba walo wokwenqabela abapristi ukuba bashade, okungqubuzana nezahluko zonke zeBhayibheli ezandulela lesi sicaphuno esingenhla. UPawulu uveza lemfundiso ngokuthi ukuchezuka ekukholweni futhi njengoba a imfundiso yobuzenzisi okuvela kodeveli—kulabo onembeza wabo ususiwe kanye nokuxhumana okuphukile kuphazamisekile! Insimbi eshisayo isetshenziselwa ukubeka uphawu-okungukuthi nge- uphawu lwesilwane. Ukukhipha unembeza kumuntu kuyamehlisa aze afike ezingeni lesilo esinesihluku.

Mngane, uma usenawo unembeza wakho—uma ungakaqedwa ukuhlasela kwenkulumo-ze ye-LGBT, futhi usengabona ukuthi kuwukuhlukumeza umzimba womuntu—hhayi nje kwabancane—ukwanelisa izinkanuko eziyisisekelo ngezindlela ezandisa ingozi yezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi nezinye izinkinga zezokwelapha ngokuphindaphindiwe,^[46] ke mngani, sekuyisikhathi sokulalela ucingo futhi UBALEKE ESODOMU NEGOMORA! …Ngaphambi kokuthi uthole ukuthi unikele ngezingane zakho kuquqaba lwe-LGBT ungaqondile futhi wangcoliswa ngobuwena, njengoba bekuzokwenzeka kuLoti, ukube izingelosi azimbizanga ukuba aphume kuleyo ndawo. Lokhu makube ubizo lwakho lwengelosi; ungalindi ukuthi imimoya ikudonse ngesandla, ngoba lokho ngeke kwenzeke.

Lokhu akuseyona nje eyokushiya amabandla awile. Unembeza wabo bonke ohulumeni bezizwe uye wanqunywa ukugunyazwa ngokomthetho komshado wobulili obufanayo. INGXENYE ngayinye yembulunga iyahlaselwa, futhi ambalwa amazwe asamelana nawo^[47] ukuhlasela. Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi abantu bakaNkulunkulu bashiye ngisho amakhaya abo nezindawo zabo uma kunesidingo ukuze babalekele ulaka lukaNkulunkulu oluza ngokuqinisekile njengoba lwalunjalo endulo.

Futhi ejikijela imizi yaseSodoma naseGomora umlotha wayilahla ngokuyichitha. ebenza babe yisibonelo kwabazakuthi emva kwalokho baphile ngokungamesabi uNkulunkulu; (I-2 Peter 2: 6)^[48]

Funda sonke isahluko ukuze uthole ukulahlwa okubuhlungu kwabaholi beSonto LamaKatolika lanamuhla—abavela kulowo okuthiwa “upapa wokuqala,” umphostoli uPetru ngokwakhe! Qhathanisa amazwi akhe anamandla namazwi abuthakathaka alabo abathi bahlezi esihlalweni sakhe!

Ngokulindele umbiko wokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokocansi, uPapa Francis akazange ahlanze indlu. Kunalokho, udlalise isisulu nge-tweet yakhe ngosuku okwakuzokhishwa ngalo umbiko. Lapho ekhuluma “ngamandla eBandla,” ngokusobala wayengabhekiseli ezisulu zokunukubezwa ngokobulili, eziningi zazo ezalahlekelwa ukuqiniseka ngokuphelele eBandleni nakuNkulunkulu ngenxa yalo. Wayebeka abaphathi abasolwa njengabafel 'ukholo nabashushiswayo! I imibono kuTwitter wakhe ukhombisa ukunengeka okufanele kwabantu ngaye.

Lapho ingelosi yokuqala “ihamba,” akuthathanga sikhathi ngaphambi kokuba iphunga elibi lamanxeba eBandla lifinyelele umuntu wesono yena. UPapa Francis wacindezelwa ukuba abhale incwadi incwadi esemthethweni ekhishwe ngosuku oluqondile lwenhlupho yokuqala, Agasti 20, 2018, ngoba isikhathi sombiko wejaji elikhulu kanye nodaba lukaMcCarrick ezinsukwini ezandulele akuzange kumshiye izinketho eziningi. Umthwalo wemfanelo omkhulu wokunuka kwaleli hlazo emakhaleni omhlaba wawusuwele phezu kwakhe, futhi kwadingeka akhulume okuthile ngaphambi kokuvulwa koMhlangano Womhlaba Wemindeni ngosuku olulandelayo.

Isilonda Esibuhlungu Futhi Esibuhlungu

Manje usubone ubufakazi obanele bokwazi ukuthi inhlupho yokuqala ngempela inakho konke okuphathelene nehlazo lokunukubezwa ngokobulili eSontweni LamaKatolika. Usubonile ukuthi izibonakaliso ezinkulu zasezulwini bezilokhu zikhomba kanjani ehlazweni, okokuqala ngenyanga yegazi emangalisa kakhulu yekhulu leminyaka ihlangene neplanethi ebomvu i-Mars ekhomba umyalelo wenkantolo ephakeme yasePennsylvania wokukhipha umbiko, futhi okwesibili nenyanga ngokuhlanganyela noVenus umbhubhisi ekhanda le-Virgo ekulethweni kombiko ngokwawo. Lezi zibonakaliso zibonisa ukuthi amehlo asezulwini abheke ehlazweni—njengoba inkosi iplanethi uJupiter yafika esilinganisweni ukuze ikhiphe isahlulelo. Ezingxenyeni ezidlule zalolu chungechunge, ubonile indlela iziprofetho zeBhayibheli eziye zagcwaliseka ngayo ezulwini nasemhlabeni, nendlela amacilongo anikeza ngayo izinhlupho umongo omningi, okubonisa ukuthi abaphikisi uphawu nomfanekiso wesilo basukelwa ngolaka emhlabeni wonke ngempi kaTrump yokungathengi noma ukuthengisa. Ubonile ukuthi amasonto athengisa ngomzimba, afanekiselwa i-Virgo, ahlulelwa kanjani ulaka lukaNkulunkulu ngamacala enziwe. kule minyaka engu-70 edlule.

Isikhathi seminyaka engu-70 sisikhumbuza ubude besikhathi sokudingiselwa kwamaJuda eBabiloni, futhi ngenxa yalokho iqiniso lokuthi lombiko ufika ekupheleni kweminyaka engu-70 yokuhlukunyezwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu abangenacala libonisa ukuwa kweBabiloni ngendlela engakaze ibonwe ngaphambili:

Ebunzini lakhe kwakulotshwe igama elithi: IMFIHLO. IBHABHILONI ELIKHULU, UNINA WEZIFEBE NEZINENGAKA ZOMHLABA. ( IsAmbulo 17:5 )

Ngokuqondile ukuwa kweBabiloni lasendulo okukhunjulwayo ngezinhlupho, ikakhulukazi eyesithupha, ebhekisela ekomisweni kwe-Ewufrathe njengendlela umuzi wasendulo owanqotshwa ngayo. Ukusakazwa esidlangalaleni kwamacala enziwa iBandla lamaKhatholika kuleso sibalo seminyaka kumshaye ngempela inhloko yeBandla, UPapa Francis ngokwakhe, emphoqa ukuba akhiphe incwadi engokomthetho “eya kubantu bakaNkulunkulu.”

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi incwadi kapapa ayizange iqondiswe eSontweni LamaKatolika kuphela, naphezu kokumelwa ngaleyo ndlela. Yayiqondiswe “kubantu bakaNkulunkulu” bazo zonke izinkolo. UPapa uFrancis uzibona—ngemvume yabaholi bawo wonke amahlelo amakhulu—njengommeleli omkhulu wobuKristu bubonke. Futhi ngempela, izwe limbona kanjalo, futhi, njengoba induna yoMkhandlu Wamabandla Womhlaba yathi:^[49]

“Ngicabanga ukuthi amaKristu amaningi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi angamaKatolika noma cha, ayambona [UPapa Francis] njengezwi elinamandla lalokho esifuna ukukusho njengamaKristu namuhla.”

"Sifuna ukucela ubulungisa, sisebenzele ukuthula, futhi sinikeze umlayezo wothando lukaNkulunkulu, lokuhlanganisa, lokunikeza ithemba kulabo abaludingayo."

“Ngalowo mqondo, ukhulumela wonke amaKristu,” uthe.

Amabandla angewona amaKhatholika ahlushwa amanxeba afana nalawo akhungethe ibandla lamaKhatholika ngenxa yokuthi asehambisana nalo futhi anezinjongo zalo asebenzisana nalo.

Kuye Incwadi, upapa usebenzisa ulimi olucishe lufane nalolo olusetshenziswe emiBhalweni lapho echaza inhlupho yokuqala… kuphela uchaza amanxeba isonto eliye lawalimaza izisulu zalo. Eqaphela lokhu kusonteka okubi, incwadi yakhe iqala entsha—futhi ngokufanele diabolical-incazelo. Ulimi lwakhe olunemfoloko lubonakala kusukela emugqeni wokuvula kuye phambili:

“Uma ilungu elilodwa lihlupheka [ngokuhlukumeza], bonke bahlupheka kanye nayo [through public shame]” ( 1Kor 12:26 ) Lawa mazwi kaPawuli oNgcwele ngamandla kunanela enhliziyweni yami [ngokucasuka] njengoba ngivuma futhi ukuhlupheka okubekezelelwe abaningi izingane [okusho ukuthi “abangabalulekile”] ngenxa yokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi, ukusetshenziswa kabi kwamandla kanye nokuhlukumeza unembeza okwenziwa a kubalulekile inombolo [the ones who are important] yabefundisi kanye nabantu abazinikezele. Amacala abangela amanxeba ajulile [ebandleni—izilonda zesifo—] yobuhlungu nokungabi namandla [ukuze babavimbe bangavezwa], ngokuyinhloko phakathi kwezisulu [abaphristi abampofu nababhishobhi], kodwa nasezintweni zabo [umabhalane] amalungu omndeni kanye nasemphakathini omkhulu wamakholwa [“Abaholi besonto abangamaKristu”] nabangakholwa [abaholi benkolo abangewona amaKristu] ngokufanayo.

Ngezwi lokuzisola, uyavuma “ukuthi laba amanxeba ungalokothi unyamalale futhi lokho they zidinga ngokunamandla ukugxeka lezi zihlukumezi..." Isonto liyaphoqeleka ukuba libasole ngokumelene nezifiso zabo eziveziwe (ezivezwa ngokufihla okuningi), ngenxa nje yokuthi “lamanxeba awapheli” emehlweni—umcabango ophindaphindiwe encwadini.

Amanxeba aleyo ncazelo yilokho esingakubiza ngokuthi “izilonda” namuhla, njengoba isichazamazwi siqinisekisa:

ibizo: isilonda; Ubuningi bebizo: izilonda

• isilonda esivulekile endaweni yangaphandle noma yangaphakathi yomzimba, okubangelwa ukuphuka kwesikhumba noma ulwelwesi lwamafinyila

• Isici sokuziphatha noma ithonya elonakalisayo.

“uyisikhohlakali esinesilonda esingelapheki esibizwa ngokugembula”

"Izilonda ezivulekile" ezinjalo yikho kanye okulethwa isifo sokuqala:

Eyokuqala yahamba, yathululela isitsha sayo emhlabeni; kwasekuwa enomsindo futhi ebuhlungu sore [Okunamandla: isilonda] phezu kwabantu abanophawu lwesilo, naphezu kwabakhuleka emfanekisweni waso. ( IsAmbulo 16:2 )

E-US, i-FBI isongela ngisho na uphenyo lukazwelonke eBandleni eliKhatholika manje. Umqondisi uChristopher Wray uthe okulandelayo (egcizelela owakhe):

Uma sinamaqiniso, futhi sinomthetho, futhi sinobufakazi obusekela uphenyo, bukhona AKUKHO sikhungo ukuthi sesaba ukuphenya. Isikhathi.^[50]

Uma ufunda ezinye zezindaba zabantu abahlukunyezwa ngokocansi, uzwa ngokushesha ukuthi lobu bugebengu bubuhlungu futhi bucasula kangakanani. Kubonakala sengathi upapa uyavuma ukuthi ubuhlungu babo “bukhala ezulwini,” nakuba le nkulumo, ngokweBhayibheli, ibhekisela izono zeBhabhiloni kanye nokukhala kwayo kobuhlungu ngenxa yokujeziswa kwayo, okuphinda kukwenze ubuze ukuthi ngobani “izisulu” abhekisela kuzo—ukuhlukunyezwa “abasindile,” njengoba ebonisa, noma “abafel’ ukholo” besigaba saphezulu, njengaku-tweet yakhe esike sayibona ngaphambili!^[51]

Abaholi bamabandla bakhalela uzulu ngenxa yobuhlungu babo, kodwa ubuhlungu bokuphoxeka, hhayi ubuhlungu bokungalungi nokuphuka okukhala ngakho izisulu zangempela. Ngesibonelo esisontekile esinjalo esiyinhloko yebandla, ingabe kuyamangaza ukuthi abelusi bakhe abangaphansi babonisa ukugula okufanayo? Kusuka kumbiko we-Pennsylvania Grand Jury:

Kwesinye isigameko, umfundisi wadlwengula intombazane, wayikhulelisa, wahlela nokuhushula isisu. Umbhishobhi waveza imizwa yakhe encwadini: “Lesi isikhathi esinzima kakhulu ekuphileni kwakho, futhi ngiyabona ukuthi uphatheke kabi. Kodwa incwadi kwakungeyona eyentombazane. Yayibhekiswe kumdlwenguli.

Kwabahlukunyezwayo, uNkulunkulu uthi kuyi-Orion, “Ngiyakhumbula izono zabakuhlukumeziyo.” Iwashi lakhe liphawula izikhathi lapho impindiselo ithululelwa phezu kwabo ngezinhlupho—futhi izilonda ezibolile zaleli hlazo zisuka nje ekuqaleni. Ukuphindisela ngekaJehova, futhi Yena kuthanda khokha,^[52] kodwa njengoba enza, udinga ukuhlehla, funa uthole isijeziso sabo!

Ngase ngizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zalo, futhi ningamukeli izinhlupho zalo. Ukuze izono zakhe babe wafinyelela ezulwini, uNkulunkulu ukhumbulile ububi balo. (Isambulo 18: 4-5)

Ngalo kanye usuku luka-August 20, 2018, olwamakwa kusenesikhathi njengokuqala kwenhlupho yokuqala ewashini elingcwele likaNkulunkulu i-Orion, upapa waphoqeleka ukuba alahle izono zeBandla lakhe, elase lifinyelele phezulu. Ngokujwayelekile, ukuvuma isono kuyisinyathelo sokuqala sokuphenduka, kodwa njengoba sesibonile, ngisho nasenhluphweni yesihlanu, ngeke kusaba khona ukuphenduka, futhi izilonda ezibangela ubuhlungu obungaka ebandleni ziyobe zisekhona. Kungani? Ngoba ukuphenduka kusho ukubuyela emuva. Kusho ukuthatha isinyathelo sokuhlehlisa indlela eya esonweni.

Esimeni sokunukubezwa kwezingane ngokocansi ngumuntu wenkolo, okuwukuphela kwendlela yokubuyela emuva wukuphuca umenzi wobubi isikhundla sakhe bese simnikela ezikhulwini zomphakathi ukuze ziphenywe futhi zijeziswe ngokulandela imithetho yezwe. Kusho ukuthola umnyombo walenkinga esakazeke yonke indawo, kuhlanganise namaphutha ezimfundisweni nangokwesiko ayenza ibe lula, futhi lokho kuyinto upapa angayenzanga nangeke ayenze. Leyo yinto abaholi bebandla abanomthwalo wemfanelo kuwo wonke amazinga abangazange bayenze futhi abangeke bayenze. Kungasho ukulungiswa okuphelele kwesonto, kodwa abayifuni into enjalo. Abagcinanga ngokusibekela lezi zono ezimbi kuphela, kodwa bakhuthaza labo ababezenzile ngoba bathokozela isono.

Impela, uPapa uzodelela umpristi lapha nalaphaya ukuze kubukeke sengathi wenza okuthile ngakho—njengesibonelo sakamuva sompristi waseChile osolwa ngokuhlukumeza izingane ngokobulili.^[53]—kodwa ngaphandle kokuthola umnyombo wenkinga, abahlukumezi abaningi abengeziwe bayohlale becathama ethunzini. Ngemva kokukhululwa kwencwadi yakhe, amazwi amaningi aphakanyiswa ngokushesha ekugxekeni upapa (nabandulele, kuhlanganise noBenedict XVI noJohn Paul II) ngenxa yaso kanye isizathu sokuthi ushintsho lwangempela lukude. One washo okungachazeki kanje:

UFrancis akakasho ukuthi yiziphi izinjongo ezibambekayo iVatican ezolandela shintsha isiko layo noma afunele abahlukunyeziwe usizo.

Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ngemva kweminyaka emihlanu nengxenye yobupapa bakhe, lo mfana akasenayo inhloso yokuhlanza izinkinga zangempela eBandleni? Kwenzekani kukho konke ukuguquka kwakhe eVatican ngonyaka wakhe wokuqala? Naphezu kwakho konke isibindi sakhe sokuthobeka, ingabe uMguquli Omkhulu Wenhlangano YeziNguquko akakwazi ngisho nokuqala ukuhlanza indaba eyodwa ebaluleke kakhulu ngempela kumalungu eBandla lakhe? Ngemva kwaso sonke lesi sikhathi, kungani umkhandlu wakhe wezimpisi ezihlekayo^[54] wamsiza ngalokhu?

Yebo, kunempendulo eyodwa elula kuyo yonke leyo mibuzo: imane iyingxenye yenkinga, kuze kufike kupapa ngokwakhe, ngokusho kombhalo. Agasti 22 ubufakazi yowayeyinxusa likapapa e-US, ngenxa yokuthi upapa kuthiwa wayazi ngecala lokunukubezwa ngokobulili likaKhadinali ophakeme, uTheodore McCarrick futhi ngokuqaphela walimboza futhi wanika uMcCarrick amanye amathuba esikhundleni sokumjezisa—kwaze kwaba yilapho ukumenyezelwa kwecala lakhe kwaba usongo, yebo.

Uyabona manje ukuthi kungani ukuhlanganiswa kwenyanga nombhubhisi, uVenus, esibonakalisweni sasezulwini sika-August 14, 2018, kwenzeka engxenyeni yekhanda namahlombe e-Virgo? Lesi sifo esavela ngalolo suku sithinta ngisho nenhloko yeBandla!

Kodwa zingakapheli izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, ingelosi yokuqala “yahamba,” futhi ngalo kanye usuku lwesibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo sika-August 20, 2018, esichazwa Izincwadi Zivaliwe, inhlupho yokuqala yathululwa emhlabeni. Buka amavidiyo amabili okugcina kuleso sihloko uma ungakawaboni! Izingelosi eziyisikhombisa zenhlupho zivezwe ezinkanyezini eziyisikhombisa, ngayinye ibambe isitsha sayo seplanethi ngaphakathi kwemingcele yayo ngalolo suku:

Isifo sokuqala sihambisana nomlaza weCancer, inkalankala, isilwane okwaqanjwa ngaso lesi sifo esesabekayo.^[55] ukuthi minyaka yonke ihlupha izigidi zabantu abengeziwe, futhi okuvame ukuqhathaniswa nalo lelihlazo.^[56] Kodwa ngaphandle kokwelashwa, umdlavuza uyisifo esibulalayo! Futhi ngalesi sikhathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, akulashwanga isikhathi eside kangangokuthi ukubikezela kufiphele: Izinyanga eziyisi-6 zokuphila. Futhi iwashi ukukitaza.

Njengoba sesiphawulile, izingqapheli eziqaphela isiko leBandla lamaRoma ziyazi ukuthi umdlavuza obulalayo wangempela awukona nje ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi kwezingane, kodwa abantu abanukubeza abantu bobulili obufanayo. Elinye iphimbo elinjalo lizwakalise ukukhathazeka kwakhe ngale ndlela:^[57]

Okukhathazayo ukuthi, uDkt. Richard Fitzgibbons, oseke waphatha abefundisi abaningi ngokwengqondo eminyakeni engu-34, uthe “Bonke abapristi engangibaphatha ababehileleke ngokobulili ngaphambili babehileleke ebuhlotsheni bobungqingili babantu abadala.”

IBandla lamaKhatholika libizwa “ngeRoma” ngesizathu. Isiqu sikapapa sikaPontifex Maximus sisuselwa kubabusi baseRoma, cishe bonke ababengongqingili.^[58]

Eyokuqala yahamba, yathululela isitsha sayo emhlabeni; kwase kuba khona isilonda esibuhlungu nesibuhlungu phezu kwabantu abanophawu lwesilo. naphezu kwabakhuleka kumfanekiso wakhe. ( IsAmbulo 16:2 )

Lapho uqonda ukuthi uphawu lwesilwane akuyona enye into ngaphandle komshado wobulili obufanayo, noma ngamanye amazwi i-codified sodomy, okuwukubhujiswa okuphelele komshado njengoba uNkulunkulu awumisa futhi wawubeka uphawu ngosuku lwesikhombisa, khona-ke uyaqonda ukuthi kungani inhlupho yokuqala ithululelwa ngokukhetha ebandleni elinokuphendukezelwa kobungqingili esisekelweni sezimpande zayo. Uma ungumKatolika, asizisho lezi zinto ngokumelene nawe uqobo, kodwa amaqiniso omlando adinga ukwenziwa obala kuwo wonke amazinga ukuze usabele obizweni lukaJoshua:

Futhi uma kukubi kini ukukhonza uJehova Nkosi, zikhetheleni namuhla ukuthi ngubani eniyakumkhonza; noma onkulunkulu ababakhonza oyihlo ababengaphesheya koMfula, noma onkulunkulu bama-Amori enihlala ezweni lawo; kepha mina nendlu yami siyakumkhonza uJehova. Nkosi. ( Joshuwa 24:15 )

Ucabanga ukuthi wawuyini umlayezo ophelele kuMhlangano Womhlaba Wemindeni, lapho uPapa uFrancis wakhetha indawo Ireland? Izinguquko zakamuva zaleso sizwe zaziwa kahle:

Iminyaka emithathu yokugcina e-Ireland ibone ushintsho olukhulu lwezenhlalakahle oluboniswa kuma-referendum kanye nomthetho: ukulingana komshado ngo-2015; Umthetho Wokuqashelwa Kobulili oqhubekayo ngawo lowo nyaka ukhuluma ngamalungelo abantu abashintshashintshayo; kanye nenhlolovo ka-2018 esusa ukuchitshiyelwa kwesishiyagalombili, ukuvinjelwa komthethosisekelo wase-Ireland mayelana nokuhushula izisu, kanye nokugunyaza ukunqanyulwa okufika kwamaviki ayi-12.^[59]

UPapa uFrancis uthumela ngokusobala izimpawu ezixubile, ezama ukuhamba ngentambo phakathi kwenkululeko kanye ne-conservative. Kodwa uyashelela, futhi abantu babona ngobuchule bakhe.

Izwe elonakele lizama ukusho ukuthi ukuhlanekezelwa kobulili (uthando olungenamingcele) kubi kuphela lapho kulimaza abanye futhi akukho lutho olungalungile uma nje izenzo zobulili zivumelana. Umthetho kaNkulunkulu, nokho, ukhuluma ngokungananazi ngokumelene nokuhlanekezelwa kobulili, okuhlanganisa nesodomy:

Uma umuntu elala nabantu, njengoba elala nowesifazane. bobabili benzile isinengiso; bayakubulawa nokubulawa; igazi labo liyakuba phezu kwabo. ( Levitikusi 20:13 )

Ebandleni lanamuhla, “ukubulala” kungasho into efana nokuxoshwa esontweni. Kusho ukuthi akumele kube khona ukubekezelelana ebandleni ngamacala anjalo. Kuwubulungisa obusankondlo ukuthi inhlupho yokuqala “ibulala” okhadinali beBandla, njengoKhadinali uDolan, owathi ihlazo likanina lokuba ngumKatolika “wamfaka” noma ngamanye amazwi “wabulawa” kuye.

Ukuze umuntu acabange ukuthi isigwebo sentambo sobulili obufanayo sasiwumthetho weTestamente Elidala kuphela, umphostoli uPawulu usho okufanayo encwadini yakhe. kumaRoma, ngokwemibandela lokho kufana nokusola okubuhlungu “kumaRoma” anamuhla:

Ngalokho-ke uNkulunkulu wabanikela ezinkanukweni zezinhliziyo zabo ekungcoleni; ukuhlazisa imizimba yabo phakathi kwabo: Abaguqule iqiniso likaNkulunkulu laba amanga, bakhuleka, bakhonza okudaliweyo kunoMdali; obongekayo kuze kube phakade. Amen. Ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu wabanikela uthando olubi: ngokuba nabesifazane babo baguqula ukwenza kwemvelo kwaba ngokuphambene nemvelo; ngokunjalo nabesilisa bayeka ukwenza kwemvelo kowesifazane, basha ngokukhanukelana; amadoda namadoda enza okuyichilo, bemukela phakathi kwabo umvuzo ofanele ukuduka kwabo. Njengalokho bengathandanga ukuba nokwazi uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wabanikela emqondweni eyonakele, ukuba benze okungafanele; begcwaliswe yikho konke ukungalungi, ubufebe, ububi, ukufisa, inzondo; begcwele umona, ukubulala, ukuphikisana, inkohliso, ubuxhwanguxhwangu; abahlebayo, nabahlebayo, abazonda uNkulunkulu, abadelelayo, nabazidlayo, nabazidlayo, nabaqambi bokubi, nabangalaleli abazali, nabangaqondi, nabephula isivumelwano, nabangathandi, nangenaluzwela, nangenasihawu; abathi besazi ukwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu, ukuthi abenza okunjalo bafanele ukufa, abakwenzi lokho kuphela, kodwa injabulo kulabo abazenzayo. (KwabaseRoma 1: 24-32)

Ebufakazini obucashunwe ngaphambili bukaMbhishobhi Omkhulu uViganò, ngokuqinisekile owayenolwazi ngenxa yesikhundla sakhe esiphakeme njengenxusa labaphostoli e-United States kanye noNobhala-Jikelele weSifundazwe saseVatican City ngaphambi kwalokho, uchaza ngokucacile indlela uPapa uFrancis “ayijabulele ngayo” uKhadinali McCarrick, okumenza abe umeluleki wakhe omethembayo.

Njengendlela yokuzivikela, upapa wenqabile ukuphawula. Nokho, abaningi bayaqaphela ukuthi ukuthula lapho ubhekene nezinkulumo ezinjalo eziqinisekisayo opaque kakhulu futhi kufana nokufihla, Phinda futhi. Ukuthula akuhlali kugolide. Ummeli-jikelele wasePennsylvania wakwenza kwacaca ukuthi iVatican yayinolwazi, futhi lokho kusho ukuthi umkhondo wephepha kufanele ube khona ngempela, ngoba—njengoba uDaniel Dye waqinisekisa—Umthetho wecanon weSonto LamaKatolika uyakufuna. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi ukuthula kukapapa kusho ukuthi uzama ukugwema ukudalula owakhe icala?

Ukukhala kwabahlukunyezwayo ngempela sekufinyelele ezulwini, njengoba upapa evuma, futhi kuyophela kuye ngendlela efanayo naleyo yaseSodoma:

Futhi i Nkosi wathi: “Ngokuba isikhalo saseSodoma nesaseGomora sikhulu, futhi isono sabo sinzima kakhulu; Ngiyakwehla manje, ngibone uma benzile kanyekanye njengokukhala kwayo esifike kimi; futhi uma kungenjalo, ngizokwazi. ( Genesise 18:20-21 )

Futhi ukubhujiswa kweSodoma kwafezwa yizithunywa ezintathu ezifanayo ezishiwo esiprofethweni secilongo lesithupha: umlilo, umusi, nesibabule.

Khona-ke Nkosi lana phezu kweSodoma naphezu kweGomora isibabule futhi umlilo ukusuka Nkosi ezulwini; Wayichitha leyo mizi, nethafa lonke, nabo bonke abakhileyo emizini, nalokho okuhlumayo emhlabathini. Kepha umkakhe wabheka emuva esemva kwakhe, waba yinsika kasawoti. U-Abrahama wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, waya endaweni ayemi kuyo phambi kukaJehova Nkosi: Wabheka ngaseSodoma naseGomora nakulo lonke izwe lethafa, wabona, bheka, ubhema yenyuka njengentuthu yesithando somlilo. ( Genesise 19:24-28 )

Lokho kusho ukuthi izimpi zohwebo uTrump azilwayo nezizwe ekugcineni zizowela phezu kweBabiloni ekubhidlikeni kwakho konke ukuthengisa kwayo, njengoba nje kushiwo iSambulo 18.

Kokunye, ubaba wamanga washo iqiniso encwadini yakhe:

Ngiyawuqaphela umzamo kanye nomsebenzi owenziwa ezingxenyeni ezehlukene zomhlaba ukuqhamuka nezindlela ezidingekayo zokuqinisekisa ukuphepha nokuvikelwa kobuqotho bezingane kanye nabantu abadala abasengozini, kanye nokuqalisa ukungabekezelelani nezindlela zokwenza bonke labo abenza noma abafihla lobu bugebengu baphendule. Sibambezelekile ekusebenziseni lezi zenzo nezijeziso ezidingeka kakhulu, nokho nginesiqiniseko sokuthi zizosiza ukuqinisekisa isiko elikhulu lokunakekela esikhathini samanje nangesikhathi esizayo.

Upapa oyiqaphelayo imizamo yokungabekezeleli lutho kanye nokuziphendulela kodwa yena ngokwakhe afihle ukukhohlakala okunjalo uziveza njengomkhohlisi, nanjengomuntu osho enye into futhi enze enye. uSathane ungumpetha wokuzenzisa.

Ingabe kukholakala lapho ethi insindiso itholakala ngokuhlanganyela neBandla, njengomzimba owodwa ohlupheka ndawonye? Uma ungakabi lapho okufanele ube khona, iNkosi uqobo iyakubiza, mfundi othandekayo, kanye nabanye abantu bayo:

Phumani kuyo, bantu bami; ukuze lingahlanganyeli ezonweni zalo, lokuthi lingamukeli okwezinhlupho zalo. Ngokuba izono zalo zifinyelele ezulwini, noNkulunkulu ukhumbulile ukungalungi kwalo. Linikeni njengalokho lanivuza khona, niliphindisele ngokuphindwe kabili ngokwemisebenzi yalo; (Funda isAmbulo 18:4-6.)

Uma umuntu efunda kuphela isingeniso se Grand Jury Report, umuntu akakwazi ukuzibamba ngaphandle kokuba nomuzwa ojulile wokuthi imbuyiselo kumelwe ivuzwe kubenzi balobu bugebengu, njengoba nje uJehova ebiza evesini elingenhla. Ukuthi lamacala amakhulu okuziphatha ambozwe egameni lokuvikela isikhungo sebandla ngazo zonke izindlela kukhombisa igebe lokuziphatha elikhulu ngendlela efinyelela kude kakhulu. Uthando lukaNkulunkulu. Lowo mqondo wokuthi ukubuyiselwa kudinga ukwenziwa yingakho ijaji elikhulu lifisa ukususa isimiso semikhawulo:

Kodwa thina [ijaji elikhulu] abanelisekile ngamacala ambalwa esingawaletha, amelela iphesenti elincane labo bonke abahlukumezi bezingane esibabonile. Siguliswa yibo bonke ubugebengu obuzohamba ongajeziswanga futhi onganxeshezelwa. Lo mbiko uwukuphela kwendlela yethu. Sizoqamba amagama abo, sichaze nabakwenzile - bobabili abahlukumeza ucansi nalabo ababafihlayo. Siya khanyisa isibani ekuziphatheni kwabo, ngoba yilokho okufanele izisulu.

Ngisho nalabo abafihlayo bayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungumvuzi wezenzo eziyimfihlo:

…eSifundazweni Sase-Erie, naphezu kokuvuma komfundisi ukuthi ashaye okungenani abafana abancane abayishumi nambili, umbhishobhi wabhala embonga “ngakho konke okwenzele abantu bakaNkulunkulu…. UJehova obona ekusithekeni uyakuvuza.”

Zabo umvuzo nje iza ngokushesha, futhi ayigcini nje kupapa kanye nabenzi bobugebengu. Lesi sifo sithinta umhlaba, njengoba nje umhlaba usuthathe okwesilo uphawu nesithombe.

Umhlaba Uyathinteka

Akuyona iSonto LamaKatolika kuphela (elinophawu lwesilo) eliqanjwe ngokukhethekile eBhayibhelini:

Yahamba eyokuqala, yathulula isitsha sayo emhlabeni; kwasekuvela isilonda esibi esibuhlungu phezu kwabantu ababelophawu lwesilo. naphezu kwabakhuleka emfanekisweni wakhe. (IsAmbulo 16: 2)

Izilonda ezibuhlungu nezibuhlungu zihlupha umhlaba wonke wamaKrestu, kuhlanganisa nabo bonke labo wamukele upapa e-US kanye ne-UN ngo-2015. Kwakungalawo maKristu afanayo afaka ibhola elibhidlizayo elaziwa ngokuthi uTrump e-White House, ukuze abangele ukuthuthumela okuye kwafana ngendlela engathandeki ngandlela thile nalokho uPapa Francis akwenza eVatican. Kodwa “njengokuhlanjululwa” kweCuria, ubuholi obuqinile bukaTrump abenzi lutho ukulungisa inkinga yesizwe sokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu. Ukushada kwabantu bobulili obufanayo kusewumthetho wase-US. Kuwo wonke usekelo lwakhe lobuKhristu, uTrump kazange aphakamise umunwe ukulungisa isinengiso esisenziwa nguzulu isizwe esigoqela. Uma usekele u-Trump noma u-Pope Francis, sekuyisikhathi sokuthi uhoxe eqenjini labo.

Isono siyathelelana, futhi kukhona into okuthiwa icala ngokuhlanganyela. Wonke amahlelo ahlangene ngezandla namaKhatholika (iningi lawo ayekade engamaProthestani) kwakufanele acabangele isAmbulo 18:4. Iyodwa kuphela indlela yokuphuma kulo mdlavuza okhungethe iBandla lamaKhatholika, nokusuka, okwenzeka ngamanani aqopha umlando. Umbiko owodwa ibonisa ukuthi “isonto lamaKatolika liye lalahlekelwa amalungu amaningi emashumini eminyaka amuva nje kunanoma iyiphi enye inkolo enkulu.” Akumangalisi lokho ezimbalwa e-Ireland waphuma ezobona upapa.

Akuqondakali ukuthi njengoba kwaqala inhlupho yokuqala, uMongameli uTrump naye wahlushwa “amanxeba ajulile” ngemva kokuvuma kukaMichael Cohen amacala ayisishiyagalombili, amanye awo athinta ngokuqondile uMengameli.” Futhi ngisho noqokelwe esikhundleni sakhe eNkantolo Ephakeme uBrett Kavanaugh kufanele abhekane nezinsolo zokungaziphathi kahle ngokobulili kusukela ebusheni bakhe, okuveza ukubaluleka kokulondoloza ubungcwele bobulili, ngisho nasebusheni bakhe.

Ukuhlangana kobulili yilokhu uNkulunkulu akuhlukanisele ngobungcwele, futhi uma sikuthatha njengento evamile noma nje, singcolisa lobo bungcwele, futhi senze umonakalo ezinhliziyweni nasezingqondweni ezihilelekile, okungalungiseka kuphela ngomsebenzi kaKristu kulabo abaphendukayo. Namuhla, sibona indlela ukuphathwa okuvamile kobulili okunezela ngayo iphunga elibi emphakathini elizungeze isikhundla sikamongameli wase-United States, ihhovisi lapho umuntu kufanele athole isibonelo esiyisibonelo sokuziphatha. UNkulunkulu kuphela ongalandisa ngobukhulu bokuhlukumezeka ngokomzwelo okuye kwaphindaphindeka ngenxa yale nkambo engalungile, futhi manje useqala ukujezisa.

Labo abafuna athweswe icala uTrump ngenxa yokungaziphathi kahle kwakhe - okuhlanganisa nokukhokha imali ethule ukuzama ukudambisa amathumba abuhlungu obudlelwano bakhe bokuphinga ukuze abe nomthelela okhethweni - bathi "ukubalwa kwecala sekuqalile."^[60] Impendulo kaTrump? Uwubekela eceleni ngokuphelele wonke umthwalo wemfanelo wokuziphatha futhi ubeke udaba lwakhe ekusebenzeni nasekuhlakanipheni kwakhe, okusobala ukuthi ukwazisa kakhulu:

"Angazi ukuthi ungambeka kanjani icala umuntu owenze umsebenzi omuhle," kusho uMnu uTrump etshela iFox News. "Ngizokutshela ukuthi, uma kwenzeka ngigwetshwa, ngicabanga ukuthi imakethe izophahlazeka. Ngicabanga ukuthi wonke umuntu ube mpofu kakhulu ngoba, ngaphandle kwalokhu kucabanga, uzobona - uzobona izinombolo ongeke uzikholelwe, ngokuhlehla."

Ukuzigqaja okweqile eceleni, ungakushayi indiva indida yangempela yokuthi uTrump uqobo “waprofetha” (noma wasabisa) ngokuphahlazeka kokuthengiswa komhlaba wonke, njengoba nje isAmbulo 18 siprofetha ukuthi kuzokwenzeka—ukuthi uhlala noma cha.

Njengesizwe, i-US ibeke isisindo sayo esigcwele ngemuva uphawu lwesilwane "ukukhuthaza" amanye amazwe ukuthi alandele. Yasebenzisa ithonya layo, isebenzisa kabi igama likaKristu njengalokho okubizwa ngokuthi isizwe samaKristu, ukuze ibhidlize ukusungulwa komshado owakhishwa e-Edene, ngesandla soMdali ngokuqondile. Bonke labo abakhonza (noma abahlonipha) izindlela zokuphila ze-LGBT—amaKatolika noma amaProthestani—baqala ukuhlushwa izilonda ezibuhlungu zesAmbulo 16:2, ngesikhathi esimisiwe, ngokwewashi likaNkulunkulu.

Amazwi athembekile (kanye nangathenjwa) ayakhuphuka ukubhekana noTrump. "Ukwesaba: I-Trump in the White House" ikhishwe ngo-9/11,^[61] ngokungaqondile iphakamisa ukuthi idalula uTrump ngendlela eyenza kube umhlaka-9/11 wokuphatha kukaTrump, ngendlela efanayo nokuthi inkinga yokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi kuthiwa yayiyi-9/11 yeSonto LamaKatolika.^[62]

Inhloko “yamaProthestani” aseMelika—“indoda yendlu yamaProthestani”—ibe nobumongameli obuhlazisayo obube inhlupho naseMelika.^[63] Ngokuphoxa abalandeli bakhe abangamaKristu, usolwa ngokuphinga yisihlabani sobulili ezingcolile esithi “Stormy Daniels.” Ukukhuluma nje ngakho kwenza isisekelo sokusekelwa kwakhe kobuKristu sidikibale—labo abasenomuzwa wokuziphatha okuhle, okungenani.

Incwadi yakhe ebizwa ngokuthi “Ukudalula Okugcwele” izoshicilelwa ngo-Okthoba 2, 2018^[64]- ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga inhlupho yesibili. Lokho kusho ukuthi kusukela enhlokweni yeBandla elikhulu kuya kunhloko yoMbuso omkhulu kunayo yonke, amahlazo obulili ezinhlobonhlobo zamaRoma noma izinhlobonhlobo “zobuKristu” ziye zachaza inhlupho yokuqala kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni.

Ukungcoliswa Komshado

Ngemva kokubhekana nezinkinga ezimbi kakhulu ngokuqhathaniswa zokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokobulili nobungqingili, ukuphinga kungase kubonakale kuyinto elula. Nokho, akunjalo. I-Counsel on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW), eshicilele okuhle kakhulu Isitatimende saseNashville beqinisekisa imfundiso yeBhayibheli ngobulili nomshado, muva nje bathumele incwadi lapho bezama ukuphendula umbuzo wokuthi kungani umphakathi wawela ngokushesha kangaka “esiphithiphithini sobulili nobulili.” Bakhomba imbangela kanje:

Lona ngumbuzo obalulekile futhi owusizo okufanele uzindle. Imiphi imingenela eyaholela esikhukhuleni esinomsindo sokudideka okukhona manje ngomshado, ubulili, ngisho nemibuzo eyisisekelo enjengokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba owesilisa noma owesifazane? Omunye umthelela ofunwa ukwethembeka esiwuqaphelayo umlando wesonto ongaphelele wedivosi nokushada kabusha. Ukwehluleka kwebandla ukubizela amalunga alo embonweni ophakeme kuno i-serial monogamy kuye kwaholela ezizukulwaneni zezingane ezikhuliswe emakhaya ahlukene nabazali okungenzeka ukuthi baye bavuma ngekhanda umbono weBhayibheli ngomshado, kodwa baphila ngendlela ewuphikayo.^[65]

"I-Serial monogamy" isisho esisezingeni eliphezulu sento evamile kakhulu, ikakhulukazi e-United States. Njengoba enye i-blogger ikubeka, ngokungaqondile kancane: “I-serial monogamy isebudlelwaneni obuzibophezele bobulili obubodwa. kodwa akusho ukuthi uzoba nalowo muntu uze uhlukane nokufa."^[66] Ngithi alinembile ngenxa yegama elilodwa eliphikisanayo: “ukuzinikela.” Umuntu akakwazi ukusho ukuthi uzinikele ngempela ebuhlotsheni obaziwa kusukela ekuqaleni ukuthi uma nganoma isiphi isikhathi, noma yiliphi iqembu elingafuni ukulenza lisebenze, lingakhansela ukuzibophezela bese lidlulela ebuhlotsheni obulandelayo. Lokho kufana nokuzibophezela njengokusayina kukaMongameli uTrump esivumelwaneni samazwe ngamazwe, i-Iran eyake yaxwayisa ngaso ukuthi singanakwa ngaphambi kokuba abuyele ekhaya!^[67]

Lomcabango wokushiya ivulekile indlela yokuphunyuka uma uba nzima kakhulu, unciphisa ubungcwele bomshado zisuka nje, ingasaphathwa eyokuthi ululaza umthetho kaNkulunkulu, njengoba “indlela yokuphuma” ebuhlotsheni obunjalo iholela ekuphingeni—isehlukaniso nokushada kabusha ngaphandle kwesizathu sokungathembeki kobulili. UJesu wayenezinga eliphakeme, elikhohliwe ngokuyisisekelo— elaphonswa endundumeni kadoti yamasiko esimanje, njengoba iNdiya lenzile ngomthetho walo omelene nokuphinga selokhu sashicilela. Ingxenye 2!^[68]

Kepha mina ngithi kini: Yilowo nalowo olahla umkakhe, ngaphandle kwesizathu ubufebe, umenza ukuba aphinge: futhi noma ubani oshada nohlukanisiwe uyaphinga. ( Mathewu 5:32 )

Ngakho-ke, ubungcwele nesibusiso sikaNkulunkulu kuyaphucwa imishado enjalo engazibophezeli, njengoba yehlisa isithunzi isivumelwano esinesizotha phambi kukaNkulunkulu sibe yisivumelwano nje sesikhashana somuntu. Ngaleyondlela abaningi baholelwa “ekuthatheni kwabo umfazi oyedwa,” begxuma besuka kobunye ubuhlobo beya kobunye emzamweni ongapheli wokufuna ukuzanelisa ngobugovu.

Ngakho-ke lokho akuhlanganisileyo uNkulunkulu, makungahlukaniswa muntu. ( Marku 10:9 )

Igama elithi ubufebe, nokho, lithi i-porn ngesiGreki. Ihlanganisa izenzo zocansi ezingekho emthethweni.^[69] Akuvunyelwe yonke into, ngisho nabashadile.

Madoda nabesifazane, ngelinye ilanga niyofunda ukuthi iyini inkanuko, kanye nomphumela wokwaneliseka kwayo. Intshisekelo yekhwalithi eyisisekelo ingatholakala ebudlelwaneni bomshado njengangaphandle kwawo.—The Review and Herald, September 19, 1899. {I-TSB 111.2}

Uma indoda noma inkosikazi eziphatha kabi ikhuthaza noma ivumelana nemikhuba yobulili engcolile emehlweni kaNkulunkulu, ingcolisa umbhede womshado! Lokho kuhlanganisiwe njengezizathu zesehlukaniso ngokoMsunguli womshado, ocashunwe ngenhla kuMathewu 5:32. Iseluleko sesimanje sokuthi noma imuphi umkhuba othile wobulili wamukelekile inqobo nje uma bobabili abantu bevumelana nawo akulungile. Umbuzo kufanele uzibuze: Ingabe uNkulunkulu uyakwamukela?

Izenzo zobulili eziphambene nentando kaNkulunkulu eshiwo ukuphinga nobulili ngaphambi komshado, kanye nokuziphatha ocansini ngokweqile. Ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi kwabashade nabo, ukunukubezwa kwezingane ngokocansi, ukulala nezihlobo, izenzo zobungqingili (izitabane nobulili obubodwa), kanye nokulala nezilwane ziphakathi kokuhlanekezelwa okusobala yohlelo lukaNkulunkulu lwasekuqaleni.^[70]

Kulolo hlu kufanele kwengezwe ukushaya indlwabu kanye nobulili bomlomo^[71] phakathi kwezinye izinto eziningi “zokuhlanekezela okungabonakali” okuhlanganisa imikhuba yobulili engcolisayo engenamkhawulo njengokucabanga okungalawuleki kwengqondo engahlanzekile. Umshicileli wezempilo waseMelika uSylvester Graham wachaza umyalo wesikhombisa kanje:

UKUNGAHLULEKI kuhlanganisa zonke izenzo ezingavunyelwe, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umzimba noma ingqondo ngomlayo wesikhombisa. Futhi konke okunqatshelwe kuwo kungafakwa ngaphansi kwalezi zinhloko ezimbili ezilandelayo:

1. Ukungahlanzeki kwengqondo.

2. Ukungahlanzeki kokuziphatha.

Ngokungahlanzeki kwengqondo, kusho umqondo wokungahlanzeki engqondweni, ukwazisa isifiso esingcolile. Sonke isono sinesihlalo saso engqondweni. Umthetho wesikhombisa, njengawo wonke omunye, udlulela “ekucabangeni nasezinhliziyweni zethu.” “Lokhu,” kusho uDwight, “akunakuphendulwa kusobala emazwini oMsindisi wethu ngalo mthetho (umthetho wesikhombisa), ‘Yilowo nalowo obuka owesifazane ukuze amkhanuke, usephingile naye kakade enhliziyweni yakhe. "Math.5:28. Futhi kuvumelana nalokhu omunye umbhalo, othi, “Enhliziyweni kuphuma ukuphinga.

Ngokungahlanzeki kokuziphatha, kufanele siqonde ukwenza ukungahlanzeki nganoma iyiphi yezindlela zakho ezihlukahlukene zokuthuthukisa imicabango yesono, njengokuthi,

1. Ngengxoxo engcolile, ukubhala, ukubukeka, nokushukuma komzimba. "Inkulumo iyisibuko somphefumulo." Ngakho-ke kungukuthi “ngamazwi akho uyakulungisiswa, nangamazwi akho uyakulahlwa.” Math. 12:37. Kodwa ukubukeka okuphawulekayo, ukubhala, ukushukuma komzimba, njll., okuyizinto ezimelela amazwi nolimi, njengazo, ziyakwazi ukwenziwa izikhonzi zesono; ngakho, futhi, kufanele bathobele umthetho ojwayelekile ofanayo.^[72]

Ngisho nokweqisa kulokho obekuyoba okuhlanzekile kuyisono.

Ngisho namadoda nabesifazane abathi besaba uNkulunkulu bayeka ukukhanukela izinkanuko zabo, futhi abacabangi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubajezisa ngokusetshenziswa kwamandla abalulekile, okwenza buthaka ukubamba kwabo ukuphila futhi kuvuselele isimiso sonke. {I-TSB 110.3}

Izinkanuko zezilwane, ezaziswayo nezinethwayo, ziba namandla kakhulu kulesi sikhathi, futhi ububi obungachazeki empilweni yomshado buyimiphumela eqinisekile. Endaweni lapho ingqondo ithuthukiswa khona futhi ibe namandla okulawula, ukuthambekela kwezilwane kubusa phezu kwamandla aphezulu naphakeme kuze kube yilapho kulethwa ukuthobela imikhuba yezilwane. Uyini umphumela? Izitho ezithambile zabesifazane ziyaguga futhi zigule; ukuzala akusaphephile; amalungelo ocansi ayaxhashazwa. Amadoda wonakalisa imizimba yawo, nomfazi usebe yisigqila sezinkanuko zabo ezimbi, kuze kungabikho ukumesaba uNkulunkulu phambi kwamehlo abo. Ukwanelisa imizwelo eyehlisa kokubili umzimba nomphefumulo kuwuhlelo lokuphila komshado, futhi uyini umphumela oqinisekile? Izifo ezimbi kakhulu, ezibuhlungu zilethwa kwabesifazane, futhi isiqalekiso sikaNkulunkulu siphezu kwabesilisa nabesifazane ezifweni ezinyanyekayo ezingadingeki nhlobo... {4MR 378.2}

Lapho uqonda ukuthi “isilwane” “sezinkanuko zezilwane” kanye “nesilo” “ophawu lwesilo” amagama amabili ahlukene ento eyodwa, kwenza umuntu athuthumele ngokuthi bangaki abathi bangamaKristu abazitika ngokweqile ngokobulili asebesitholile kakade isahlulelo sabo.

Yini eyovusa labo abathi bahamba ekukhanyeni okukhanyisa abantu bakaNkulunkulu kulezi zinsuku zokugcina? Ukukhathala kokuquleka kokuquleka ngokuzitika kwesifiso sokudla esiphendukezelwe, ukuzithoba njalo komphefumulo nomzimba nomoya ekungcoleni kokuziphatha, kuphezu kwabantu. Ngaphansi kwesifungo somshado, uMdali wethu asimisa, isifiso sokudla siye sahlanekezelwa futhi saneliswa. Futhi lezi nkanuko ezikhanukelayo, namandla azo okubhubhisa, ziye zadluliselwa zisuka kubazali ziye kubantwana, futhi zaqina kangangokuthi amagama abo alotshwe ezincwadini zezulu njengabaweqi bomthetho kaNkulunkulu. Ebusweni babo kubekwa isono saseSodoma [uphawu lwesilo ebunzini]. Futhi ukuqhubeka kulezi zono kuzoletha imiphumela eqinisekile neyesabekayo. Bayobhujiswa ngokuzumayo, kungabikho ukwelashwa. Bayokwamukela isigwebo esithi, ‘Ongalungile makaqhubeke engalungile: nongcolile makaqhubeke engcolile…’ {GCDB Mashi 2, 1897, isig. 12}

Uma sibuyela encwadini evela kwa-CBMW, ezama ukuthola izimbangela zokuwohloka kokuziphatha esikubona namuhla, baphenya umnyombo wesono esitholakala yonke indawo esihlupha ngisho nemindeni “esadla ngoludala” kanye namasonto:

Phakathi kwezinkulungwane zeminye imingenela esingayilandela indlela isonto kanye nezwe okubonakala kwamukela ngokungangabazeki isisekelo sesimanje sokuthi amadoda nabesifazane bayashintshana ngokuphathelene nezindima ekhaya nasebandleni. Lokhu kuguquguquka okusebenzayo kwavula iminyango yokushintshashintsha kwe-ontological okusakazeke kakhulu namuhla. Uma ngempela ungekho umehluko ophusile phakathi kobunhloko besilisa nobunhloko besifazane ekhaya nasebandleni, Khona-ke kungokwemvelo ukuthi amadoda nabesifazane abashintsheki hhayi kuphela ngokusebenza-owesifazane angenza noma yini indoda engayenza, ukuya esikhathini-kodwa nange-ontologically-owesifazane angaba noma yini indoda engaba yikho, ukuya esikhathini. Ngaphansi kokucabanga okunjalo, umehluko phakathi kwendoda ekhetha ukushada nendoda nendoda ekhetha ukushada nowesifazane awunakibo, uyacabangela, futhi awunaki. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma owesifazane engaba noma yini indoda engaba yiyo, kungani engeke abe yindoda futhi?

Badweba ngokufanelekile umugqa oqondile osuka enhlanganweni yokulingana yabesifazane ukuya ekubekezeleleni kwe-LGBT. Ngamanye amazwi, bakusho kahle lokho abesifazane abahola emakhaya nasemabandleni kwaholela ekuvuleni amasango ezikhukhula zokuziphatha okubi. Ukuchazwa kwabo “ngozamcolo ohlokomayo” wokudideka kwamanje mayelana nomshado kusikhumbuza amazwi oMoya Wesiprofetho:

Ukusabalala Kokuziphatha Okubi Namuhla-Isithombe esibi sesimo sezwe senziwe phambi kwami. Ukuziphatha okubi kugcwele yonke indawo. Ukuziphatha okubi kuyisono esikhethekile salesi sikhathi. Ayikaze i-vice iphakamise ikhanda layo elikhubazekile ngale ndlela isibindi njengamanje. Abantu babonakala bentekenteke, futhi abathandi bobuhle nokulunga kweqiniso bacishe badikibala ngenxa yesibindi sakho, amandla, kanye nokusabalala kwayo. Ububi obuningi abupheleli nje kongakholwayo kanye nomdeleli. Sengathi ngabe kunjalo, kodwa akunjalo. Amadoda nabesifazane abaningi abazibiza ngenkolo kaKristu banecala. Ngisho nabanye abathi babheke ukubonakala Kwakhe abasasilungeli leso senzakalo USathane ngokwakhe. Abazihlanzi kukho konke ukungcola. Sekuyisikhathi eside bekhonza inkanuko yabo kangangokuthi kungokwemvelo ukuba imicabango yabo ibe engcolile futhi imicabango yabo yonakaliswe. Kuyinto engenakwenzeka ukwenza izingqondo zabo zigxile ezintweni ezimsulwa nezingcwele njengoba kungaba ukuguqula umzila we-Niagara futhi uthumele amanzi ayo athulule izimpophoma.... Wonke umKristu kuyodingeka afunde ukubamba inkanuko yakhe futhi alawulwe yisimiso. Ngaphandle kokuba enze lokhu, akalifanele igama lobuKristu. {AH328.1}

UNkulunkulu akahlekwa. Lapho imithetho Yakhe yephulwa, imiphumela iyehla, futhi isimo samanje sezinto akunakwenzeka ukuhlehla. Leyo yincazelo yokuvalwa kokuvivinywa! Umthetho wangeSonto wawungakhulekelwa,^[73] kodwa uMthetho waseSodoma uzobulala. Kungakho ubizo lungaselulo lokuguqula amabandla, kodwa ukuthi “Phumani kulo, Bantu baMi!”

Yi-United States esebenzisa amandla ayo njengesisindo somhlaba wonke ukuphusha umshado wobulili obufanayo namalungelo e-LGBT. Futhi nomaphi lapho ihamba khona, indlela iqale ilungiswe ngenhlangano elwela amalungelo abesifazane, ethi owesifazane angenza noma abe noma yini indoda engayenza—kuhlanganise nokuba yinhloko yendoda. NgokwemiBhalo, ubunhloko besifazane bu ukuhlambalaza:

Kodwa ngifuna wazi lokho inhloko yawo wonke amadoda uKristu; nenhloko yowesifazane yindoda; lenhloko kaKristu nguNkulunkulu. ( 1 Korinte 11:3 )

Lokhu akusho ukuthi owesifazane akakwazi ukuhola lutho, kodwa nje ukuthi udinga ukuba ngaphansi kwegunya eliphakeme lendoda, inqobo nje uma lo mhlaba usengaphansi kwesiqalekiso sesono! Akufanele abe sesimweni ngokuphelele igunya, ‘elinezwi lokugcina,’ kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusekhaya noma esontweni noma kunoma yimuphi omunye umongo. IBhayibheli lisenza sicace lesi simiso ezicini ezimbili:

Ngokuba u-Adamu wabunjwa kuqala, kwase kuba u-Eva. Futhi u-Adamu akakhohliswanga, kodwa owesifazane ekhohlisiwe waba sesiphambeko. ( 1 Thimothewu 2:13-14 )

Lokhu akusho ukuthi abesifazane baphansi noma banenani elincane noma yimuphi omunye umbhedo onjalo; UNkulunkulu umane wamisa isibonelo endalweni ngokudala indoda kuqala futhi ahlanganise nayo yonke izakhi zofuzo zowesifazane. Indoda inegunya elikhulu endabeni yendalo, futhi leso sandulela sihlala njalo uma nje umshado ngokwawo, owenziwa “muhle kakhulu” futhi wabekwa uphawu njengomsebenzi owenziwe kahle.^[74] ukuma kuze kube sekupheleni kwaleli zwe elicekelwe phansi yisono. Kungumthetho kaNkulunkulu—umthetho we Isikhathi—lokho kubeka indoda endimeni yobunhloko.

Ngakho-ke umthwalo ongenakuvinjelwa ugxile endodeni, ukuthanda njengoba uKristu athanda^[75]-ngokusola labo abathandayo uma bephambuka, nangokuthatha izindleko.kungakhathaliseki izindleko- phezu kwaKhe. Isono sika-Adamu kwaba ukuthokozisa u-Eva ngoba wayengenakukwazi ukuphila ngaphandle kwakhe. Mangaki amadoda ajabulisa abafazi babo ngesizathu esifanayo? Mangaki amadoda avumela abafazi babo ukuba babe nezwi lokugcina, ukuze nje benze ucansi lokugcina? Akuhlukile kakhulu kunoTrump enikeza u-Stormy Daniels amathuba amnandi ukuze athole izinkonzo zakhe—futhi ngaleyo ndlela umhlaba ukhungethwe ukuvezwa okugulayo kobunhloko besilisa. Ukuba nekhanda elikhulu akubona ubunhloko.

Ngethemba manje sekucacile ukuthi izimpande zokuhlubuka zijula ​​kangakanani. Inhlupho yokuqala yesilo sesibili seSambulo 13 ibangelwa kakhulu yiwo wonke amahlelo awo obuKristu achezuke kakhulu emthethweni kaNkulunkulu ngokwehluleka ukuhambisana nesimiso sikaNkulunkulu emshadweni ekhaya nasemphakathini. Ngenxa yalokho, i-United States (namanye amazwe amaningi) adlule iphuzu lokungabuyi emgwaqeni oya ekuzibulaleni kwe-LGBTIAQ.

Siphelile isikhathi

Izenzakalo ezibalulekile emlandweni ohlazisayo wosuku lwethu zihambisana ngokuphelele nezinsuku ezaprofethwa iwashi lenhlupho kanye nezibonakaliso zasezulwini zecilongo lesithupha:

Izehlakalo zazilandela izimpawu zasezulwini:

• July 27, 2018 - INkantolo Ephakeme yasePennsylvania wabusa ukukhulula umbiko wokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokocansi we-grand jury.

• August 14, 2018 – Ihhovisi Lommeli Omkhulu wasePennsylvania lishicilela umbiko wehlazo lokunukubezwa ngokocansi.

• August 20, 2018 – IVatican ishicilele incwadi kaPapa Francis evuma amanxeba ajulile nangelapheki.
  Agasti 21, 2018 - Icala likaMichael Cohen, elithinta futhi elilimaza kakhulu uMongameli uTrump.
  Agasti 22, 2018 - Ubufakazi bukaMbhishobhi Omkhulu uViganò bufaka uPapa uFrancis ehlazweni ngokuqondile.

Lezi zenzakalo zihambisana ngokuphelele nezinsuku ezaprofethwa iwashi lenhlupho kanye nezibonakaliso zasezulwini zecilongo lesithupha:

• July 27, 2018 - I-Blood Moon ngokubambisana ne-Mars eCapricornus.

• August 14, 2018 - Ukuhlangana kwenyanga neVenus e-Virgo.

• August 20, 2018 - Isibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo sezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, neCancer njengenhlupho yokuqala.

Ngazo zonke izibonakaliso zasezulwini, nakuyo yonke imiBhalo ecashuniwe, ubonile ukuthi lezi zilonda ezibuhlungu nezibuhlungu ezingelapheki eziye zahlasela umhlaba ngokuzumayo futhi zabangela ukuba amakhanda esilo sokuqala nesesibili (upapa kanye ne-US, ngokulandelana) anuke, achazwa ngokunembile eBhayibhelini njengenhlupho yokuqala, okuthiwa izowela phezu kwalowo mfanekiso noma isilo somshado (Ukubekezelelana kwe-LGBT). Inhlupho yokuqala imayelana necala elikhulu nelinyanyekayo lokunukubezwa ngokomthetho kobulili bomuntu okuphunyuke emikhawulweni yezimfihlo zeBandla futhi kwaphula yonke imingcele kanembeza, nakubantu abasha.

Ngaphezu kokugcwaliseka okunembe kakhulu kwevesi lokuqala lenhlupho, isAmbulo 16:2 , izibonakaliso zasezulwini ziye zabonakala zinencazelo ekhuluma ngendlela enamandla ngezimo. Ngedrama eyadlalwa emazulwini yilanga, inyanga, nezinkanyezi, sabona izingelosi eziyisikhombisa ziphuma etabernakele lasezulwini futhi zisakaza izinhlupho. Njengoba lokho kwakwenzeka ezulwini, ikakhulukazi ngombhubhisi, uVenus, ekhanda likaVirgo wesifazane ngo-Agasti 14, 2018, umbiko wasePennsylvania Grand Jury wakhululwa ngokumelene nokuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngokobulili eSontweni LamaKatolika emhlabeni. Isibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo sabonisa uhlobo lwezinkinga zokuziphatha, ezikhula buthule, zisakazeke, futhi zibhubhise njengomdlavuza ongelapheki, isifo esifanekiselwa umlaza wegama elifanayo nenhlupho yokuqala ezothululwa.

Ngisho sekuyinhlupho yesihlanu, lezizilonda ezibuhlungu zisakhulunywa, kanye nenkomba yokuthi akusayikuba khona ukuphenduka, ngakho-ke zenzele ongakwenza, obathandayo, nalabo abaseduze kwakho ngokunaka izwi elivela ezulwini elibiza wonke umuntu ezindaweni zonke ukuba aphume futhi ahlukane. Nika wena nabathandekayo bakho unembeza ohlanzekile ngokwenza ikhefu elihlanzekile nalabo abangeke baphenduke. Ngokuphambene nalokho uPapa Francis angathanda ukukucabanga, ayikho insindiso emzimbeni wesonto ogcwele umdlavuza, kusukela ekhanda kuye phansi.

Simi phambi kokwesula ngempoqo noma ukuchithwa kwehhovisi labaholi ababili abanamandla kakhulu emhlabeni, ngenxa yobugebengu obunesisekelo esibi. Umuntu angase azibuze: Obani ababengavala izindawo zabo? Abanye baze bakhulume ngokubekwa icala kukaTrump ngokwemibandela ethi “isitsha sobuthi.” Khumbula ukuthi yiplanethi iMercury eyayibusa kuCancer kusibonakaliso esikhulu nesimangalisayo sezinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zokugcina, nokuthi iplanethi iMercury ihlotshaniswa nesici se-mercury, esabelana ngegama layo i-Elemental mercury iwushevu obhekene nalezi zimo ezilandelayo, ezichaza ngokungaqondakali izinkinga ezibhekene nesilo sokuqala nesesibili namuhla.

Ubuthi be-Mercury wuhlobo lobuthi bensimbi ngenxa yokuchayeka kwe-mercury. Izimpawu zincike ohlotsheni, umthamo, indlela, kanye nesikhathi sokuchayeka. Kungase kuhlanganise ubuthakathaka bemisipha, ukungasebenzisani kahle, ukuba ndikindiki ezandleni nasezinyaweni, ukuqubuka kwesikhumba, ukukhathazeka, izinkinga zenkumbulo, inkinga yokukhuluma, ukuzwa kahle, noma ukungaboni kahle.

Ingabe isonto aligcwele ukukhathazeka ngamahlazo akhulayo? Ngabe umhlaba awukhathazeki kakhulu ngalokho uTrump angakwenza eqinisweni lakhe elihlanekezelwe? Kunezinkinga zokukhumbula izenzo zonya zesikhathi esidlule emlandweni wenkolo nowezombangazwe. IBandla ukhohliwe ukuthi kungenzeka kangakanani ukuchezuka kuNkulunkulu kuyilapho ulondoloza umbono wokuzibheka ngobungcwele, kuyilapho uMbuso uhlupheka kakhulu ngenxa yokukhohlwa izinkathi zangaphambili zobushiqela lapho izono ezinkulu zazibekezelelwa khona kwaze kwaba yilapho isikhalo sobubi sibizela wonke umhlaba empini.

Kuyacaca ukuthi uPapa uFrancis unenkinga yokukhuluma, lapho izintatheli zimbuza ngokungananazi ngecala lakhe futhi akakwazi ukuphendula nezwi. Futhi unenkinga yokuzwa? Sekunini ukukhala kohlukunyezwayo kuwela endlebeni yakhe—nasezindlebeni zeBandla, ngokuvamile—ngaphandle kokunakwa okufanele embangela? Kunini ibandla liyishalazela le nkinga yokunukubezwa ngokocansi? Koze kube nini izakhamizi zaseMelika zigxilile ekususweni ngendlela ehlelekile kwenkululeko yazo yangempela, esikhundleni salokho ziphoqwe ukuba zibekezelele isinengiso? Kusobala kakhulu ukuthi umhlaba ngempela uhlushwa imiphumela yalobu buthi obungokomfanekiso be-mercury, futhi maduzane uzoqhunyiswa ngokuhlanya ngokuphelele.

UTrump ubhekene nenkinga cishe kuyo yonke imikhakha-isimo neNorth Korea sibi, impi yezomnotho neChina kuyanda, iSiriya egcwele ingozi, ichweba laseHormuz likhona esongelwa, ukungezwani neRussia kuyanda, futhi uhlu luqhubeka njalo, sonke lesi sikhathi ubumongameli bakhe bungatshazwa. Lapho ubona indlela izimali eziwa ngayo emazweni asathuthuka, zonke izimpawu zilapho—iBhabhiloni liwile!

Kodwa izinto zizoba zimbi nakakhulu. Ngicela ulalele izwi elikhuluma kuwe lisezulwini, ulandele isimemezelo esithi, “Phuma,” uma nganoma iyiphi indlela ungase usinde esiphethweni somubi.

Futhi lapho lezi zinto ziqala ukwenzeka, khona-ke sukumani, niphakamise amakhanda enu; ngoba ukukhululwa kwenu sekusondele. ( Luka 21:28 )

Phakamisani amakhanda enu, nilalele izwi likaNkulunkulu ezulwini.

Kuyadabukisa ngendlela engachazeki ukuthi amaKrestu amaningi mihla namalanga ahlushwa izilonda nokunuka kabi kwamahlazo abaholi bawo. Kodwa akufanele kube njalo! UJesu, owayengakaze afane necala, wabhekana nokuhlukaniswa okubi kakhulu kukaNkulunkulu ukuze akunikeze amandla okuthatha izinyathelo ezidingekayo ukuze uzihlukanise nesono. Awusadingi ukuhlobana nabahlukumezi bocansi, noma uzizwe unamahloni nomuzwa wecala lezenzo zabo ezimbi ngendlela engachazeki. Awudingi ukuzwa ihlazo le-narcissism kaTrump. Zithobe nje uthathe ukuma okusha. Thatha ikhefu elisemthethweni ngemifelandawonye yakho edlule. Ungakhetha ukwesula, ukukhansela ubulungu bakho, nanoma yini edingekayo ukuze wenze ngokwehlukana okuhlanzekile kulabo abala ukwenza njalo.

Kepha okhubekisa abe munye walaba abancinyane abakholwa yimi, bekungaba ngcono kuye ukuba itshe lokuchola ligaxwe entanyeni yakhe, acwiliswe ekujuleni kolwandle. Maye kuwo umhlaba ngenxa yezikhubekiso! ngokuba kufanele ukuba kufike izikhubekiso; kodwa maye kulowomuntu esiza ngaye isikhubekiso! Ngakho uma isandla sakho noma unyawo lwakho kukukhubekisa, kunqume, ukulahle; kungcono kuwe ukungena ekuphileni ulunyonga noma ulunyonga kunokuba uphonswe emlilweni ophakade unezandla zombili noma izinyawo zombili. Uma iso lakho likukhubekisa, likhiphe, ulilahle; Qaphelani ningadeleli noyedwa walaba abancinyane; ngokuba ngithi kini: Izingelosi zabo ezulwini zibona njalo ubuso bukaBaba osezulwini. Ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu ize ukusindisa lokho okulahlekile. ( Mathewu 18:6-11 )

Uyasesaba isizungu? UJesu wayenesizungu, yenza inkatho yakho kanye Naye! Ingabe uyesaba ukuhlekwa usulu? UJesu wahlekwa usulu; Uyaqonda. Ingabe uyesaba ukuzifaka engozini yokucekela phansi impilo yakho enhle ngokuthatha ukuma kwesibindi? UJesu wayengenawo ngisho nomcamelo ayezobeka kuwo ikhanda lakhe. Isikhathi sifushane kakhulu ukuba sikhathazeke ngalezo zinto, kodwa ingunaphakade lilindele kuphela labo abazimisele ukudela izinto ezinomkhawulo zalelizwe.

Vuka ume ngezinyawo zakho, futhi ume uqine eDwaleni lezimilo leZwi likaNkulunkulu. Bonisa ukholo lwakho ngemisebenzi yakho, njengoJakobe.^[76] Joyina ibutho likaNkulunkulu ngokuhlanganyela lolu chungechunge lwezihloko ukuze usole izono zaseBhabhiloni futhi ubize wonke umuntu yonke indawo ukuthi “Phumani kulo!” Ngaleyo ndlela wena ngokwakho ungakhanyisa ukukhanya kubenzi bobubi futhi ufune ukubuyiselwa kwezono zabo, ezifinyelele ezulwini.
