1. Umlayezo, March 25, 1945
"Kwenzeka ngoMashi 25, 1945, uMkhosi Wokumemezela. Mina nodadewethu sasihlezi ekamelweni sixoxa sodwa. Sasihlezi eduze kwesitofu sensimbi. Kwakuyizimpi, futhi kwakukhona ubusika bendlala. Ubaba uFrehe, owayesedolobheni ngalolo suku, wafika ezosivakashela. Phakathi nengxoxo, ngokungazelelwe ngadonswa ekamelweni elilandelayo futhi ngisondela eduze kokukhanya. Ngaphoqeleka ukuba ngihambe. futhi yonke into eyayilapho yanyamalala emehlweni ami yiba yiNcasakazi eNgcwele. Akukho okunye okwenzekayo."
Umhlangano wokuqala ka-Ida Peerdeman neNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe wenzeka ngoMkhosi Wokumenyezelwa KweNkosi, ogujwa ngoMashi 25. Lolu suku, oluphawula ukuqala kwemibono, lubhekisela ngokusobala endaweni yeBhayibheli yokumenyezelwa, lapho iNgelosi kaNkulunkulu yabonakala khona kuMariya, iphethe umyalezo ovela kuNkulunkulu uqobo.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi phakathi nemibono eminingi kaMariya eyenzeke emhlabeni wonke, ukhuluma nababoni, ebabiza ngokuthi “izingelosi zakhe ezincane.” Lokhu akuyona into eyenzeka ngengozi, kodwa ukubhekisela okujulile emcimbini wokumenyezelwa kweNkosi, lapho iNgelosi Enkulu uGabriyeli yambingelela ngamazwi alokho okubizwa ngokuthi Ukubingelela Kwengelosi. I-"Hail Mary," eyakha ingxenye ephakathi yeRosari, yayisekelwe kulo musho. Noma ubani ophinda iRosari futhi “ebona” uMariya emoyeni wakhe uba njengeNgelosi yeNkosi imbingelela. Imibono yeNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe ingafundwa njengohlobo “lokumenyezelwa” kwezigcawu zeBhayibheli; kulokhu, ukumenyezelwa kweNkosi.
Noma kunjalo, esigijimini sokuqala, yiNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke ethatha indima yeNgelosi yeNkosi, eza ku-Ida Peerdeman enomyalezo ovela kuNkulunkulu. U-Ida, njengoMariya owayengaphambi kwakhe, kumele aphendule "yebo" obizweni oluvela eZulwini.
Endabeni kaMariya, lokhu kwakuyimvume yokuzala uKristu, kuyilapho u-Ida Peerdeman amukela umsebenzi wokudlulisa imiyalezo yeNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke emhlabeni, futhi kukho konke ukuphila kwakhe, ugcwalisa le ntando yaphezulu, eba yingalo yaKhe emhlabeni.
Ngesikhathi sokubonakala kweNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, sizobona izinkomba eziningi zezigcawu ezivela kokubili eTestamenteni Elidala nelisha. Ukuzazi kahle kuyisihluthulelo sokuqonda umyalezo ongokomoya iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke ewudlulisela emhlabeni ngale miyalezo.
"Ngokungazelelwe lesi sibalo sikhuluma nami. Sithi,
'Phinda ngemva kwami.'
Ngakho-ke ngiqala ukuphinda ngemva kwaso, igama negama. Sikhuluma kancane kakhulu. Siphakamisa iminwe emithathu yokuqala, bese kuba emine, bese kuba yonke emihlanu. Njengoba senza kanjalo, singitshela ukuthi,
'Lezi '3' zingoMashi, lezi '4' zingo-Ephreli, kanye nalezi '5' zingoMeyi.'"
Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, imiyalezo yeNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe iqukethe neziprofetho, eziyizibonakaliso ezihloselwe ukuqinisa ukholo lwabantu nokuqinisekisa igunya lomyalezo wonke. Lezi ziprofetho azizona nje izimemezelo zezenzakalo zesikhathi esizayo kodwa futhi ziwubufakazi bokuthi zivelaphi ngendlela engaphezu kwemvelo.
Kulesi simo, isiprofetho sokuqala samemezela ukukhululwa kweNetherlands ekubusweni yiJalimane, okwenzeka ngempela ngoMeyi 5, 1945. Lesi senzakalo—esabikezelwa ngaphambi kokuba senzeke—saba yisiqinisekiso kwabaningi sobuqiniso bemiyalezo eyanikezwa u-Ida Peerdeman.
Kubalulekile futhi ukuqaphela izenzo zeNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe ezihambisana nalesi sithombe. Okokuqala, uphakamisa iminwe emithathu, okubonisa isibusiso. Iminwe emithathu ephakanyisiwe isikhumbuza ubunye boZiqu-zintathu Ezingcwele, kuyilapho emibili egobile futhi ihlangene ndawonye ngesenzo esifanayo ifanekisela izimo ezimbili zikaKristu—ezingcwele nezomuntu.
Ngemva kwalesi sibusiso, iNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe iphakamisa iminwe yesine neyesihlanu, okubhekisela kulesi siprofetho. Kusukela kulesi senzo, singaphetha ngokuthi ukukhululwa kweNetherlands ekubusweni yiJalimane kwakuyisithelo sesibusiso seNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe kanye nobunye boZiqu-zintathu Ezingcwele.
Kufanele futhi kuqashelwe ukuthi esithombeni esiveza i-Annunciation, iNgelosi iphakamisa isandla sayo ngeminwe emihlanu enwetshiwe, okubonisa i-Annunciation, ehambisana kahle nosuku nokuqukethwe kwalesi sigijimi. Ngakho-ke siyabona ukuthi isenzo seNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke sinencazelo esezingeni eliphezulu—sisho isibusiso, isiprofetho, kanye ne-Annunciation.
Njengoba nje i-Annulus yabusisa uMariya ngesikhathi se-Annunciation, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke manje ibusisa u-Ida Peerdeman, futhi ngaye, labo abathandaza iRosari ukuze kukhululwe iNetherlands. Ngokuthandaza iRosari, sifunda i-Annunciation futhi samukela uKristu kuye, njengoba ingxenye elandelayo yomyalezo ikhuluma ngayo. Esethulweni salesi sifundo, sishilo ukuthi izizwe eziyisithupha zakwa-Israyeli zazimi eNtabeni Yezibusiso ukuze zilamule isibusiso sikaNkulunkulu. U-Ida Peerdeman udlala indima efanayo kulokhu.
Iminwe emihlanu ephakanyiswe yiNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke nayo ifanekisela imfundiso yesine neyesihlanu kaMarian—emithathu yayo esevele imisiwe. Imfundiso yesine, i-Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, yamenyezelwa ngoNovemba 1, 1950, kanti eyesihlanu ayikakasungulwa.
"Wabe esengibonisa irosari bese ethi,
'Ungamkweleta. Phikelela!'
Wabe esema isikhashana wabe esenezela,
'Umthandazo kumele usakazwe!'
Manje ngibona amasosha phambi kwami, ama-Allies amaningi. INkosazana Engcwele ikhomba kuwo. Ithatha irosari esandleni sayo bese ikhomba umfanekiso kaKristu, bese ibuyela emasosheni. Kufanele ngiqonde ukuthi kumelwe abe umsizi ezimpilweni zabo, ngoba iZwi lithi,
'Maduze bazobuyela emakhaya abo,' likhomba amabutho."
La mazwi abonakala elula futhi eqondile. Eqinisweni, ukujula kwawo kubuyela emuva eTestamenteni Elidala, lapho ingxenye yokuqala yalolu cwaningo ibhekisela khona. Lapho, sikhulume ngokufana phakathi kokubonakala kweThempeli leNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke kanye neNtaba yaseBhayibhelini i-Ebali neGerizimu, echazwe eNcwadini kaJoshuwa.
Lapho uJoshuwa nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli bewela iJordani futhi bengena eZweni Lesithembiso, ngaphambi kokuba bahlale lapho, kumelwe baqale baxoshe bonke ububi ezweni. Kodwa-ke, lokhu akufezwa ngamandla omuntu kuphela, kodwa ngamandla kaNkulunkulu nemiyalelo Yakhe. Ngesinye isikhathi, iNkosi uqobo iyangenelela: iphonsa isichotho samatshe esivela ezulwini, ibhubhisa izitha zika-Israyeli ngempumelelo kakhulu kunanoma yisiphi isikhali.
UJoshuwa 10:11 "Lapho bebaleka ku-Israyeli ethambekeni laseBeti-horoni, iNkosi yanisa amatshe amakhulu avela ezulwini phezu kwabo, kwaze kwaba se-Azeka, babhubha. Iningi labo lafa ngesichotho kunangenkemba yama-Israyeli."
INetherlands—eyayihlalwa amabutho amaNazi ngaleso sikhathi—yaphinde yathola inkululeko yayo ngoMeyi 5, 1945, njengoba kwabikezelwa yiNkosikazi Yethu Yazo Zonke Izizwe. Nokho, lokhu akuzange kufezwe ngamandla empi kuphela, kodwa ngokuyinhloko ngomthandazo weRosari. Embonweni ongenhla, u-Ida Peerdeman uthola isibonakaliso esicacile sokuthi yiRosari noKristu abanegalelo ekukhululweni kweNetherlands. Khumbula ukuthi ngokuthandaza iRosari, sithi iSibingelelo Sengelosi kuMariya, futhi ngokubuyisela, samukela uKristu kuye. Ingelosi yabingelela uMariya, futhi wazala Yena emhlabeni.
Kulo mongo, amabutho e-Allied abhekisela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abakhulula iZwe Lesithembiso ekubusweni kobubi—amabutho aseJalimane. UKristu, njengoJoshuwa, uzobahola ekunqobeni, njengoba usho.
“Isichotho samatshe” esiphonswa ezulwini siphinde sifanekise iRosari lapha—ubuhlalu baso bufana namatshe amancane, futhi ukuthandaza kuso kuba yisikhali esingokomoya. Njengoba sifunda eNcwadini kaJoshuwa, izitha eziningi zabhubha ngenxa yesichotho sikaNkulunkulu samatshe kunenkemba. Ngokufanayo, namuhla, uma inkinga ebangela ukuwa kwethu isisinqoba, singathola ukwesekwa ekuthandazeni iRosari.
Ngakho-ke iRosari iba “isichotho samatshe” esingokomoya esishaya isitha esikhulu somuntu—uSathane.
INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ikhomba esiphambanweni sikaKristu, ivumela u-Ida Peerdeman ukuthi amabutho e-Allied kumele afune ukwesekwa kuJesu. Lokhu kubhekisela kumfanekiso kaJoshuwa, umkhuzi wamabutho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Njengoba nje abantwana bakwa-Israyeli balandela uJoshuwa, nanamuhla isintu kumele silandele uJesu Kristu, sixosha ububi ezinhliziyweni zabo, futhi, ngokwengeziwe, emhlabeni. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi igama elithi “Joshuwa” ngesiHebheru (Yehoshua) lisho okufanayo nelithi “Jesu”—“UJehova uyasindisa.”
ITestamente Elidala libonisa amaqiniso angokomoya ngezenzakalo ezenzeka emhlabeni, ngakho-ke akufanele lithathwe ngokoqobo. “Izwe Lesithembiso” lawo wonke umuntu lingumzimba wakhe, okumele—ukuze ube yiZwe likaNkulunkulu ngempela—kumelwe lihlanzwe ekukhulekeleni izithombe nasebubini. Umthandazo weRosari uba usizo kulokhu kuhlanzwa okungokomoya—“isichotho samatshe” esingokomoya esixosha isitha futhi silungiselele inhliziyo yomuntu ukwamukela uNkulunkulu.
Kodwa-ke, ukuze unqobe le mpi engokomoya, izikhali zodwa azanele—ukulalela uMholi nakho kuyadingeka. Lo Mholi nguJesu Kristu. Ukunqoba kungenzeka kuphela uma umuntu elalela iZwi Lakhe futhi emlandela, njengoba nje abantwana bakwa-Israyeli balandela uJoshuwa.
"Odadewethu noBaba uFrehe bahlangana ngakimi. Lapho uBaba uFrehe engizwa ngikhuluma, wathi komunye wodadewethu, "Bhala phansi konke akushoyo." Ngemva kokuphinda imisho embalwa, ngamuzwa ethi, "Lalela, ubuze ukuthi ungubani."
Ngabe sengibuza, "UnguMariya?" Lo muntu wamomotheka waphendula wathi,
"Bazongibiza ngokuthi 'Nkosikazi,' 'Mama.'"
Lo muntu wadlula phambi kwamehlo ami. Ngabe sengibheka isandla sami. Isiphambano sabekwa phambi kwami, kwadingeka ngisithathe. Ngasithatha kancane kakhulu, ngoba sasinzima kakhulu.
Ngemva kokuba lo muntu engitshele konke, sasuka. Kulapho-ke kuphela lapho ukukhanya kwanyamalala khona, futhi ngokuzumayo ngabona konke okungizungezile ekamelweni njengoba bekulokhu kunjalo njalo."
Isitatimende esingenhla seNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke siyisandulelo somthandazo ozokwembulwa ku-Ida Peerdeman emilayezweni elandelayo. Lo mthandazo uqukethe ivesi elikhethekile:
"Kwangathi iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, eyake yaba uMariya, ingaba uMmeli wethu. Amen."
La mazwi abhekisela kuMariya ngokusobala, obizwa lapha ngokuthi iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke. Wonke umuntu ophinda lo mthandazo uyamqaphela njengoNkosikazi noMmeli wakhe phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Kodwa-ke, lesi sihloko sinencazelo ejulile, egxile emfanekisweni weBhayibheli. Sibhekisela eNcwadini kaJoshuwa, eyakha isisekelo esingokomoya sezambulo zeNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke. Ngaphambi nje kokulwa nesono nokukhonza izithombe, iNgelosi eyimfihlakalo ibonakala kuJoshuwa. Njengoba sifunda emiBhalweni Engcwele, ayithathi uhlangothi nobubi, kodwa iza njengesithunywa sikaNkulunkulu ukulwa nobubi. UJoshuwa ukhuluma naye ngamazwi agcwele inhlonipho: "Inkosi yami iyiyalani inceku yayo?"
UJoshuwa 5:13-15
5:13 Kwathi uJoshuwa eseseduze neJeriko, waphakamisa amehlo wabona indoda imi phambi kwakhe inenkemba ehoshiweyo esandleni sayo. UJoshuwa wasondela kuye wathi: “Ungakithi, noma ungakwezitha zethu?”
5:14 Waphendula wathi: “Cha, ngokuba ngingumkhuzi webutho leNkosi, futhi ngisanda kufika.” UJoshuwa wawa phansi, wakhuleka kuye, wathi: “ Inkosi inceku yayo?”
5:15 Khona-ke induna yebutho leNkosi yathi kuJoshuwa: “Khumula izimbadada zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingcwele.” UJoshuwa wenza kanjalo.
UMariya ufisa ukuba yiNkosikazi yezizwe zonke—ngaphandle kwanoma yikuphi ukwahlukana. Ngakho-ke, manje kanye, njengoba umhlaba ungena shí esiphithiphithini, isikhathi somzabalazo ongokomoya siqala kabusha. Lokhu kufakazelwa ukuphuthuma kwangaphakathi u-Ida Peerdeman abhekana nakho lapho ebizwa ukuba athathe isiphambano esinzima. Lesi senzo siba yisandulela somsebenzi wakhe: ukubeka uKristu futhi enkabeni yomhlaba, ukuze isintu sikwazi ukumlandela futhi empini yokuhlanza umhlaba esonweni. Isisindo sesiphambano sifanekisela umsebenzi omkhulu osisephambi kwethu.
INkosazana yezizwe zonke ifisa ukuthi ububi nokukhonza izithombe kususwe ezinhliziyweni zabantu ngokushesha okukhulu. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho izokwazi khona ukuziveza ngokugcwele njengoMama wezizwe zonke, yenze wonke umuntu abe yindodana noma indodakazi yayo. Kodwa-ke, lokhu akuyona impi yobudlova, kodwa impi engokomoya lapho ukunqoba kuzalwa khona ngokwethembeka entandweni kaNkulunkulu.
I-Angelus isikhumbuza ukuthi ukunqoba ububi kufezwa ngokunikela kuNkulunkulu ukukhulekelwa okufanele. Isifundisa ukwenza lokhu njengoba kwenza iNkosazana yezizwe zonke. Lapho uNkulunkulu ethola inkazimulo efanele Yena, unikeza umusa kubantwana Bakhe—njengokufanekiswa kweBhayibheli kwesichotho samatshe, esabulala izitha eziningi kunenkemba. Kanjalo, nasempini engokomoya, amandla kaNkulunkulu ahlala edlula wonke amandla omuntu.
UMariya uyisibonelo esiphelele somkhulekeli kaNkulunkulu—othobekile, othembekile, futhi ozinikele ngokuphelele entandweni Yakhe. Kungenxa yalesi simo sengqondo ukuthi imithandazo yakhe iphendulwa nguNkulunkulu, njengoba kwenzeka eKhana laseGalile. INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke isibonisa ukuthi ukunika uNkulunkulu udumo olufanele kusivulela umusa kaNkulunkulu—umusa oletha usizo ngezikhathi lapho amandla ethu enganele ukunqoba ubunzima.
Encwadini kaJoshuwa, sibona ukuthi ukubizwa kokuqala iNgelosi yeNkosi ekhuluma noJoshuwa ukukhulekela uNkulunkulu. UJoshuwa uyakhothama phambi Kwakhe futhi akhumule izimbadada zakhe, eqaphela ubungcwele bendawo emi kuyo. Kamuva endabeni, iNkosi ithumela isichotho samatshe phezu kwezitha zika-Israyeli—isenzakalo esingafundwa njengophawu lokungenelela kukaNkulunkulu, impendulo ekuhlonipheni okukhonjiswa ubungcwele Bakhe.
Esikweni lobuKristu, isenzo sokuthobeka nokudumisa sibonakala ngokuguqa phambi kukaNkulunkulu – njengoba umprofethi u-Isaya ebikezela: “Amadolo onke ayakukhothama kimi” (Isaya 45:23).
Ngokufanayo, ngesikhathi sokubonakala kweNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, u-Ida Peerdeman uhlala eguqa phambi kukaMariya. Lesi senzo siwukubonakaliswa kwenhlonipho ngobukhona bukaNkulunkulu kanye nobufakazi bokuthobeka phambi kwaKhe, umthombo wawo wonke umusa nokunqoba. Kuzo zonke izibonakaliso ezenzeke emhlabeni wonke, uMariya usibonisa indlela yokuthandaza nokudumisa uNkulunkulu. Kungalokhu lapho kufanele simlingise – ngokuthobeka, ngokumdumisa, nangokuthemba ngokuphelele intando kaNkulunkulu, bese umusa waKhe ungathululwa phezu kwethu.
Isiqu seNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke njengoMama sinokubaluleka okukhulu, ikakhulukazi ngokubheka iTestamente Elisha. EVangelini likaJohane, uJesu, efa esiphambanweni, ukhuluma nomfundi wakhe othandekayo ngala mazwi: “Bheka, uMama wakho” (Johane 19:27). Ngale ndlela, uMariya uvezwa njengoMama wabo bonke abahlala bethembekile kuKristu kuze kube sekupheleni.
Nokho, kuJoshuwa, iNgelosi yeNkosi izembula njengeNkosi, futhi masikhumbule ukuthi indima yeNgelosi yeNkosi kulo myalezo idlalwa yiNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke.
Ngakho-ke, labo abasabhekene nempi engokomoya, befisa ukuhlanza izinhliziyo zabo ethonyeni lobubi, futhi abaqaphela uKristu njengoMholi oholela ekunqobeni,
bazombiza ngokuthi iNkosazana. Labo, abasekelwa umusa kaKristu, asebevele banqobe ububi, behlala noKristu ngokwethembeka, njengomfundi othandekayo owahlala naye kwaze kwaba sekupheleni, bazombiza ngokuthi uMama. Nomaphi lapho uMariya ekhona ngempela phakathi kwabafundi bakaKristu, bangabantwana bakhe.
Kulesi senzakalo seTestamente Elidala, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ivezwa njengeNgelosi eyabonakala kuJoshuwa. Njengoba iNkosazana idlula phambi kwamehlo ka-Ida Peerdeman, umbono ubona isiphambano silele phansi—uphawu lukaKristu. Njengoba nje uJoshuwa awela phansi phambi kweNgelosi yeNkosi, nalapha futhi isiphambano, isibonakaliso seNdodana kaNkulunkulu, sihlala phansi.
Lesi sithombe siba nencazelo ejulile: uNkosikazi udlula eduze kuka-Ida Peerdeman bese enyamalala ensimini yakhe yombono, ngaleyo ndlela ekhomba iNdodana yakhe. Ku-Ida, lokhu kuyibizo elicacile—lokuthatha isiphambano nokuzivumela ukuba aholwe nguKristu. Isikhali sethu kule mpi akuyona inkemba yensimbi, kodwa isiphambano, uphawu lokunqoba kukaKristu, okuyinto, ngokomoya, eba yinkemba kanye nophawu lukaJoshuwa—umholi wabantu bakaNkulunkulu, ehola isizwe ekunqobeni ububi.
Sithola isimo sengqondo esifanayo sikaMariya eKhana laseGalile. Lapho iwayini liphela, uMariya ukhomba uJesu, ethi, “Yenzani noma yini anitshela yona” (Johane 2:5). Kulo myalezo, uNkosikazi Wezizwe Zonke naye wenza isenzo esifanayo: ukhomba kuKristu futhi ukhuthaza u-Ida—kanye naye, ngamunye wethu—ukuba athathe isiphambano, amlandele, futhi agcwalise amazwi Akhe.
Umyalezo wokuqala weNkosikazi Wezizwe Zonke unokubaluleka okungavamile. Ukuqonda kwawo okufanele kuvula indlela yokuqonda okugcwele umyalezo wonke wezambulo, okwakha isisekelo lapho konke kusekelwe khona.
Siyabona ukuthi okuqukethwe yilesi sigijimi kusibiza ukuba silwe nobubi. Njengoba nje ezinsukwini zikaJoshuwa, lapho iZwe Lesithembiso laligcwele ububi kakhulu, kanjalo nanamuhla wonke umhlaba ugcwele isono, okumele siqedwe. Njengoba nje amabutho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, eholwa nguJoshuwa, ake ahlanza iZwe Lesithembiso, nanamuhla, ngaphansi kobuholi bukaKristu, sibizelwe empini efanayo. Kodwa-ke, lokhu akuyona impi yempi, kodwa impi engokomoya okufanele ngamunye wethu ayilwe ezinhliziyweni zethu.
Yonke imiyalezo yeNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke igxile kakhulu eTestamenteni Elidala neLisha, ngomoya wesimiso seVangeli:
Mathewu 13:52, "Ngakho-ke wonke umbhali oye waba umfundi wombuso wezulu unjengomninindlu okhipha engcebweni yakhe okusha nokudala."
Lokhu kuxhumana kubonisa ukuqhubeka kwecebo likaNkulunkulu. Ukwembulwa kweNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke kuba ibhuloho phakathi kokudala nokusha, phakathi kwesimemezelo nokugcwaliseka kwaso kuKristu noMariya.
