Umlayezo 5 ka-Okthoba 7, 1945

"Ngibona ilanga nenyanga ecwebezelayo. Futhi ngiyaqonda ngaphakathi: 'Lena yiMpumalanga Ekude.' Ngibona iShayina inefulegi elibomvu. Bese ngibona amaSulumane nazo zonke ezinye izizwe zaseMpumalanga. Ngaphezu kwazo zonke lezi zizwe ngibona obomvu kolunye uhlangothi nomnyama kolunye, kodwa okwesibili kungasaphathwa.
Ngizwa Izwi elithi:
'Kunjengokungathi linciphile ngokuphelele.'

Ingxenye yokuqala yomyalezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke iqukethe umbono ongokwesiprofetho wekusasa laseShayina, ohlanganisa ukubhekisela okungokomfanekiso efulegeni elibomvu. Eminyakeni emine ngemva kokuba lo myalezo umenyezelwe, ngo-1949, iRiphabhulikhi Yabantu baseShayina yamenyezelwa, futhi obomvu waba uphawu lombuso omusha wobuKhomanisi. Lokhu akulona iphutha—esigijimini, obomvu ufanekisela umbono wobuKhomanisi, owawuqala ukudlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni, ngemva kokuwa kobushiqela obunsundu.
Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi kuze kube ngu-1949, ifulegi leRiphabhulikhi yaseShayina lalibonisa ilanga elimhlophe ngemuva eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, elibekwe ekhoneni eliphezulu kwesokudla lensimu ebomvu. Kuphela ngemva kokuphela kwempi yombango kanye nokubanjwa kwamandla kwamaKhomanisi kuleli zwekazi lapho ifulegi elikhona lathathelwa indawo elisha—indwangu ebomvu enezinkanyezi ezinhlanu, ezine ezincane zakha i-semicircle ezungeze enkulu. Umdwebo we-crescent, nawo, ubhekisela emazweni amaSulumane, lapho lolu phawu luye lwavela khona emafulegeni awo amakhulu eminyaka.
Lesi sithombe sembula usongo emhlabeni olubangelwa yimfundiso yobuKhomanisi engamesabi uNkulunkulu, egqilaza isintu, njengoba nje ubuNazi benza ngaphambili, okwaholela ebubini obusha. Njengoba sesibonile kakade, ezinye zezithombe ezethulwa ku-Ida Peerdeman azigcini nje ngokuthwala umyalezo wesiprofetho kodwa futhi zihambisana kahle nokuqukethwe yiyo yonke imiyalezo, ehlukaniswe ngamabhulokhi anezihloko. Isiprofetho esethulwa ku-Ida Peerdeman sibhekisela emiBhalweni Engcwele futhi sihlala sihambisana nokuqukethwe okuvela emilayezweni yangaphambilini. Isithombe selanga nenyanga sisibhekisa eNcwadini kaJoshuwa, lapho uJoshuwa ethandaza khona kuNkulunkulu ukuba amise izidalwa zasezulwini zombili ukuze akwazi ukufeza ngokugcwele umsebenzi wakhe wokuhlanza amazwe aseKhanani ebubini nakonkulunkulu bamanga. Isihloko sempi yokomoya—ukufuduka nokunqoba okuhle phezu kobubi—ngaleyo ndlela siba yisihloko esiyinhloko salo myalezo.

Joshuwa 10:12-15

10:12 Ngosuku uJehova anikela ngalo ama-Amori esandleni sama-Israyeli, uJoshuwa wathi phambi kwama-Israyeli, " Langa , yima phezu kweGibeyoni, nawe nyanga , phezu kweSigodi sase-Ajaloni!"
10:13 Ngakho ilanga lama, nenyanga yema, kwaze kwaba yilapho abantu beziphindiselela ezitheni zabo. Akulotshiwe yini eNcwadini Yokulunga ukuthi: "Ilanga lama phakathi kwezulu, futhi alizange lisheshe ukushona cishe usuku lonke?"
10:14 Akukho usuku olunjengalolu, ngaphambi noma ngemva kwalokho, lapho uJehova elalele khona izwi lomuntu. Ngempela, uJehova ngokwakhe walwela u-Israyeli.
10:15 UJoshuwa, nawo wonke u-Israyeli kanye naye, babuyela ekamu laseGiligali.

Bese ngibona indlela ende, enhle. Kufanele ngiyihambe, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, kunjengokungathi anginaso isifiso sokwenza kanjalo. Ngimele sonke isintu. Bese ngihamba ngayo. Ngikhathele kakhulu, kodwa kufanele ngiqhubeke, kancane kakhulu. Ngisekupheleni kwendlela futhi ngimi phambi kwenqaba enkulu enemibhoshongo. Isango liyavuleka ngaphakathi. Isandla singibiza ukuba ngingene, kodwa angifuni. Kunjengokungathi kufanele ngihlehle, kodwa ngingena ngaphakathi. Isandla sami sibanjwe ngokuqinile futhi ngibona—“iNkosazana egqoke okumhlophe,” iNkosazana. Ingimoyizela ithi,
“Woza!”
Isandla sami sibuhlungu—akubekezeleleki, kodwa iNkosazana iyibambe ngokuqinile, bese siqhubeka.
Ngingena engadini enhle kakhulu. Muhle kakhulu, uhlukile ngokuphelele kulabo abasemhlabeni. INkosazana ingiholela endaweni ethile ithi,
“Lobu ubulungiswa okumele bufunwe ngaphandle. Kumele butholakale, noma umhlaba uzolahleka futhi.”
Njengoba iNkosazana ikhuluma, ikhomba ngaphandle. Kubonakala sengathi ngiyakuzwa lobu bulungiswa.
Isandla sami sibuhlungu kakhulu; angikwazi ukubekezelela, kodwa uNkosazana uyamomotheka futhi ungidonsela phambili.

Ngisho nokulandela indlela enhle eboniswe ku-Ida Peerdeman, ephela eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu, kudinga umzamo, ukuzidela, ukulwa ngokomoya, kanye nokusebenza ngokwakho. Akuyona indlela elula. Umyalezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke ubonisa ngokusobala ukuthi insindiso ayisona isipho esizenzakalelayo—idinga ukubandakanyeka komuntu kanye nokugcwaliseka kwentando kaNkulunkulu.
Kodwa-ke, umbuzo usalokhu: kungani kungekho muntu ofuna ukuqala le ndlela enhle, ebonakala imema kunokuba iyenyanyekayo? Imiyalezo yangaphambilini ibhekisele kumfanekiso weVangeli wedili inkosi eyayimema kulo labo ababesevele belungiselwe izindawo. Kodwa-ke, labo abamenyiwe benqaba, becaphuna ukukhathazeka kwabantu kuphela. Babebheka izimpahla zaleli zwe njengoNkulunkulu. Kunjalo nalapha: abantu abafuni ukulandela indlela enhle ngoba baxhumene kakhulu nezinto zasemhlabeni.
Njengoba izwe ligcwele isono, ukunamathela kwabo ezweni nakho kuba ukunamathela esonweni. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, abanalo uthando olungadonsela abantu kuNkulunkulu. Kungale ndlela lapho kufanele siqonde khona uthando uKristu akhuluma ngalo—uthando ngoNkulunkulu olukwazi ukunqoba zonke izono ezibopha umuntu kuleli zwe.
Lapho labo abamenyiwe benqaba ukuhlanganyela edilini, inkosi iyala izinceku zayo ukuba zimeme wonke umuntu ezihlangana naye emigwaqweni, ize ibakhuthaze ukuba bangene. Siyabona ukuthi u-Ida Peerdeman naye kumele alandele le ndlela, yize yena ngokwakhe engafuni—umelela sonke isintu. Kodwa-ke, ucindezelwa amandla athile angabonakali, ekugcineni edonselwa esigodlweni esifanekisela uMbuso kaNkulunkulu.
ISonto usuku lapho uNkulunkulu esimema khona edilini lakhe. Uma othile enqaba lesi simemo, kufanele azibuze ngobuqotho: yini engivimbele ukuya eSontweni? Izizathu zingase zibe ezahlukene—esinye sazo ukudumala ngesimo eSontweni. Icala elinjalo lingabhekwa njengohlobo “lokuhlakazwa” kwezimvu zikaNkulunkulu ngabelusi abangenamusa.
Kodwa-ke, endabeni yombono u-Ida Peerdeman awubona, asikhulumi ngamasonto asendaweni yakithi, akude kakhulu. Sikhuluma ngezindawo zokubonakala kweNkosikazi—izindawo lapho umgwaqo omude uholela khona.
Ukuthatha uhambo olunjalo kudinga kokubili ukholo nothando, kanye nokushiywa okwesikhashana kwezinto ezikhathazayo zezwe.
Noma ubani onquma ukuqala uhambo olunjalo ufakazela ukholo lwakhe nothando lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu, uKristu, kanye neNkosikazi Yethu. Mina ngokwami ngiye ngahambela izindawo eziningi zemimoya, futhi ngingafakazela ukuthi indlela eya kuzo yayingeyinhle nje kuphela kodwa futhi inde.
INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke isimema edilini, okuphakelwa kulo iNdodana yakhe—kodwa ukuze sifinyelele ezindaweni lapho inika khona umusa wayo, umuntu kumelwe amukele lesi simemo futhi aqale uhambo. Uma sibheka isithombe seNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, simbona elule izandla zakhe njengesibonakaliso sesimemo.

Izindawo zemimoya kaMariya nazo azizenzakaleli—ngokuvamile ziyizindawo noma amadolobhana imiphakathi yawo eyayihlukaniswa ngokulunga nangobulungiswa, ukuze ibe yisibonelo kwabanye. INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ibhekisela kuleli qiniso lapho ibonisa u-Ida Peerdeman ingadi lapho ubulungiswa bubusa khona.
Ukuvezwa kweZulu njengendawo yobulungiswa kunencazelo ejulile: ukuhlala lapho, umuntu kumelwe alwele ubulungiswa lapha emhlabeni futhi abufune ekuphileni kwansuku zonke. IPharadesi aliyona umvuzo ongahleliwe, kodwa umphumela wezinqumo esizenzayo nsuku zonke.
Ubulungiswa eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu buthatha ukuthi wonke umuntu uthola lokho okuhambisana nesimo sakhe sengqondo ngoNkulunkulu nomakhelwane. Ngakho-ke kunzima ukulindela ukuthi umuntu owenqaba ngamabomu ubuhle, iqiniso, nothando uzophathwa ngendlela efanayo nomuntu ofuna ubulungiswa ngobuqotho nangokuphikelela. Lokhu kuzophikisana nohlobo lobulungiswa.
IPharadesi ubulungiswa ngenxa yobulungiswa, kanti isihogo ubulungiswa ngenxa yobulungiswa.

"Siya kwenye ingxenye yengadi. Ngenkathi uNkosikazi ephakamisa umunwe wakhe ngapha nangapha, njengokungathi uyaxwayisa, uthi:
'Leli yiQiniso. Lalelani ngokucophelela. IQiniso nalo likhona ngaphakathi, kodwa laphaya, ngaphandle, alikho, alikho.'
IQiniso lingimboza njengomuzwa. Ngifuna ukuzikhulula esandleni saKhe, bese ngithi: 'Linzima kakhulu.'

Iqiniso liyabusa eNsimini yase-Edene—indawo lapho konke kuhambisana nohlelo lukaNkulunkulu, kungenamanga, ubuzenzisi, nokungalungi. Kodwa-ke, ukuze umuntu abe nale Nsimi, kumelwe aqale afune iqiniso ngale kwayo, lapha—kuleli zwe lesikhashana. Njengobulungiswa nothando, iqiniso alinikezwa ngokuzenzakalelayo. Kumele lifunwe, liqashelwe, futhi likhethwe ezinqumweni zansuku zonke.
Ngakho-ke, sibona ngokucacile: ukungena eNsimini yase-Edene, umuntu kumelwe alwele ubulungiswa, iqiniso, nothando lomakhelwane kuleli zwe.
Lawa magama amathathu—Ubulungiswa, Iqiniso, kanye nothando—avela emfanekisweni womnsalo esikhulume ngawo lapho sixoxa ngemiyalezo yangaphambilini.
Lo mnsalo, njengomnsalo weBhayibheli kuGenesise, uwuphawu lwesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu nesintu. EBhayibhelini, uNkulunkulu uthembisa ukuthi ngeke esawubhubhisa umhlaba ngozamcolo—noma kunjalo, uma yena ngokwakhe “ebona umnsalo ezulwini.” Esimweni esingokomoya, lokhu kusho ukuthi uma uNkulunkulu ebona ukubonakaliswa kwakhe kumuntu—okungukuthi, ubulungiswa, iqiniso, nothando—umuntu ngeke ahlulelwe.

"Kodwa-ke uNkosikazi ungikhomba okuthile, futhi kunjengokungathi ngibheka okuthile ngamehlo enyoni. Ngiphakamisa iminwe emibili bese ngibona uPapa wethu, futhi ngaphansi kwami, iVatican. Bese ngibona lonke iSonto LamaRoma Katolika. Ngaphezulu kweVatican, ebhalwe emoyeni ngamagama amakhulu, acacile, kukhona igama elithi "Ama-Encyclicals."
"Lena yindlela efanele," uNkosikazi ungitshela ngokugcizelela.
"Kodwa awuphili ngazo," esho ngokudabuka.
Ngibona iVatican futhi, izungezwe yiSonto LamaKatolika lonke. uNkosikazi ungibheka futhi—ebeka umunwe wakhe ezindebeni zakhe—ethi,
"Kodwa lokho kuyimfihlo, phakathi kwami nawe."
Ubeka umunwe wakhe ezindebeni zakhe futhi athi ngokuthula kakhulu,
"Akuhlali kukhona futhi."
Uphinde angimomotheke futhi. Ungibheka ngokungikhuthaza bese ethi,
"Kodwa izinto zisengaba zinhle."

Ngalesi sigijimi, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ifisa ukudonsela ukunaka kwethu eqinisweni lokuthi amazwi kuphela—ngisho namahle kakhulu—awanele uma engalandelwa yizenzo. UbuKristu abugcini nje ngokumemezela iqiniso, kodwa bumayelana nokulisebenzisa. Akwanele ukubhala izincwadi ezibhaliwe, imibhalo, noma izimemezelo. Kumelwe siphile ngazo—nsuku zonke, ngokuthobeka nangokuvumelana.
Lesi sibizo sisebenza kuwo wonke umuntu, kuhlanganise nabefundisi. Ngisho naphakathi kwabo, akusobala ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi amazwi kumelwe alandelwe yisenzo. Amandla eqiniso obufakazi awaveli emazwini ahlakaniphile, kodwa ekwethembekeni, okuqinisekiswa ekuphileni kwansuku zonke.
Izincwadi ezibhaliwe ziyindlela enhle, yize zidinga amandla futhi zinzima. Isithombe seSonto lamaRoma siwukubonakaliswa kweZulu kwasemhlabeni, kodwa—njengoba iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke isho—kuwukubonakaliswa okungaphelele. Iqiniso nobulungiswa, okufingqiwe ngokuhlelekile ezibhalweni ezibhaliwe, kufanele kutholakale eBandleni. Kodwa-ke, thina ngokwethu siyaqaphela ngokuqinisekile ukuthi kulula kakhulu ukusho into enhle kunokuyisebenzisa—futhi lokhu kufakazela ubuthakathaka bomuntu.
UKristu wathi, "Qaphelani futhi nithandaze ukuze ningangeni esilingweni; umoya uyavuma, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka" (Mathewu 26:41). Kodwa-ke, uma inyama yomuntu—izenzo zakhe—ilandela umoya kaKristu, uzozuza umphefumulo wakhe.
Ngokomongo wesigijimi, iVatican kufanele ibe yindawo yobulungiswa nokulunga, futhi indlela eholela kule ndawo yizincwadi ezibhaliwe, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ezibiza ngokuthi "indlela enhle." Ngakho-ke kuvezwa izindlela ezimbili: indlela enhle nendlela enhle.
U-Ida Peerdeman wagcizelela ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuthi iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke yayingeyena nje kuphela enhle kodwa futhi yayithandaza ngendlela enhle kakhulu. Isenzo sayo ngasinye esiqondiswe kuBaba neNdodana sasiphethe ukuvumelana nobuhle obungokomoya obukhulu.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, indlela eholela eBandleni likaKristu yindlela yobuhle. Ngale ndlela, kwembulwa ukuhambisana okuthile okungokomoya: UKristu uhola umuntu ebuhleni, kuyilapho iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke iholela ebuhleni. Kufanele kugcizelelwe ukuthi ukuba olungile nolungile kuyindlela enhle yokuziphatha.

"Bese ngibona phambi kwami amanye amasonto, amahlelo ahlukene. INkosikazi iphakamisa umunwe wesilumkiso, futhi ngenkathi ingivumela ukuthi ngibone iSonto LamaKatolika lonke futhi, ithi:
"ISonto LamaKatolika lingakhula libe likhulu impela, kodwa..."
Bese iyayeka ukukhuluma futhi ngibona imigqa yonke yabefundisi, abafundi basekolishi, izindelakazi, njll., bedlula phambi kwami. INkosikazi inikina ikhanda layo bese ithi ngokugcizelela:
"Kunzima kakhulu, akunamsebenzi."
Bese ithi futhi:
"Akunamsebenzi."
Ibheka phambili ngqo. Bese ikhomba abafundi basekolishi, abapristi, kanye nabefundisi bese ithi ngokugcizelela:
"Imfundo engcono, hambisana nesikhathi, yesimanje, enobungane."

ISonto LamaKatolika alikwazi ukuchuma ngaphandle komsebenzi ozinikele noqhubekayo wabefundisi balo—futhi lo msebenzi ngeke wenzeke wodwa. Ngeshwa, phakathi kwabefundisi abaningi namuhla, ukuphola okungokomoya okuthile, ukudumazeka, ngisho nokuyeka ukuzibandakanya ngenkuthalo emsebenzini weSonto kungabonakala.
Isihloko sesimemo somkhosi sivela kabusha ngokomongo womyalezo wonke. AmaSeminari, abapristi, nabo bonke abefundisi bayizinceku zikaNkulunkulu umsebenzi wazo ukumema abantu eSontweni, hhayi ukubaxosha. Ngakho-ke, kufanele bahambisane nezikhathi, babonise isinyathelo, futhi bakhathalele ukuzuza izinhliziyo zabantu kuNkulunkulu, ukuze abathembekile beze esontweni benenjabulo nesifiso.
Kuhle ukugcizelela ukuthi uma iSonto liyeka ukufuna noma yiziphi izindinganiso noma umzamo ongokomoya kumuntu, balahlekelwa isithakazelo empilweni yenkolo. Yilokho imvelo yomuntu: abantu bayabandakanyeka lapho okuthile kubathakazelisa nalapho bephikiswa.

EVangelini, uJesu uthumela abafundi bakhe ukuba balethe Izindaba Ezinhle emhlabeni wonke. Ubayala futhi ukuba bangathathi imali noma izinto ezingadingekile ohambweni lwabo. Lo myalo unencazelo ejulile. Abafundi, ababengenazo izinto ezibonakalayo, baphoqeleka ukuba bathole ukwethenjwa nezinhliziyo zabantu ababebashumayeza iVangeli. Ngokushintshana ngezipho ezingokomoya, bathola ukwamukelwa nokudla.
Okwamanje, namuhla, ikakhulukazi ezakhiweni eziphakeme zeSonto, isilingo senduduzo nokunethezeka siyabonakala. Lesi simo asikhuthazi intshiseko engokomoya. Labo abangadingi ukulwela izidingo zansuku zonke bangalahlekelwa kalula intshiseko yabo yenkonzo. Ubuholi beSonto bunesibopho sokwakhiwa kwamazinga aphansi abefundisi. Kodwa-ke, uma buhluleka ukuqaphela isidingo soshintsho, bukhulisa inkinga yokubizwa nokukhathala okungokomoya.
Kunzima ukulindela ukuzibophezela nokuzinikela kubantu abasha uma bengaboni isibonelo sempilo yevangeli ngempela—ubumpofu emoyeni, egcwele intshiseko nokuzidela. Ukuvuselelwa kweSonto kumele kuqale ngalabo abanomthwalo wemfanelo omkhulu ngaphakathi kwalo.

"Ngabe sengibona ijuba elimnyama lindiza phezu kwesonto lethu. 'Akukho elimhlophe,' ngisho, 'kodwa elimnyama.' INkosikazi ikhomba lelijuba ithi,
'Lona umoya omdala okumele unyamalale!'
Ngibona lelijuba liphenduka ngokuzumayo libe yijuba elimhlophe. INkosikazi ithi,
'Leli yijuba elisha, elimhlophe. Lithumela imisebe kuzo zonke izinhlangothi, ngoba umhlaba uyazamazama. Eminyakeni embalwa ezayo umhlaba uzobhubha. Kodwa-ke, UZOZA ahlele umhlaba, kodwa...'"—futhi ulinde isikhashana—"Kumelwe balalele!"
INkosikazi igcizelela igama elithi "kumele," njengokungathi iyaxwayisa futhi. Bese ithi,
"Bafuna ukuhamba lapha futhi; abafuni le ndawo. Abantu ababoni lutho kuyo."

Ijuba elimnyama liwumfanekiso ongokomfanekiso wesimo esingokomoya seSonto LamaKatolika, esesiwile. Kudingeka izinguquko ezinkulu, kodwa ukuze lokhu kwenzeke, kumelwe silalele lokho uNkulunkulu akushoyo ngabaprofethi bakhe.
Ukungasebenzi kahle, ukuntuleka komzamo ongokomoya, nokukhetha impilo ekhululekile kusho ukuthi imibono yanamuhla iya ngokuya ithatha imimoya yabantu abasha, futhi izwe liya ngokuya licwila ebumnyameni obungokomoya. Ukungaqondi kahle uMoya kaKristu ngabefundisi abaningi kuholele ekungangeni kahle nasekulahlekelweni komsebenzi iSonto okufanele liwufeze esintwini—umsebenzi wokumemezela ubulungiswa, iQiniso, noThando, ubizo lokuguquka, kanye nokuqaphela imiphumela yobubi kanye nemivuzo yobuhle.
Esinye sezimangalo ezilimaza kakhulu ezigxile ezingqondweni zabefundisi inkolelo yokuthi uKristu usevele usindise bonke abantu—kungakhathaliseki ukuziphatha kwabo nokholo lwabo. Le mfundiso ayigcini nje ngokuhlanekezela umyalezo weVangeli kodwa empeleni iyaphika ukuba khona kwesihogo, ngaleyo ndlela isidingo sokuguquka. Okwamanje, zonke izibonakaliso zikaMarian zamakhulu eminyaka amuva zizama ukulungisa lokhu kungaqondi kahle, okuvela ekuchazeni kabi imiBhalo Engcwele.
Emilayezweni yakhe, uMariya uhlala ebiza ukuphenduka, umthandazo, ukuguquka, kanye nobuhle. Ugcizelela ukuthi ubulungisa neqiniso likaNkulunkulu kungokwalabo abakufunayo kuleli zwe futhi abalandela bona. Akunakwenzeka ukumemezela insindiso eshibhile ehlukanisiwe nomthwalo wemfanelo womuntu siqu ngezinqumo abazenzayo. Uma iSonto liqala ukukhuluma ngezwi lomhlaba, liyayeka ukuba negunya kulo. Khona-ke umhlaba uba negunya leSonto, ngoba iSonto liqala ukulandela umhlaba.

"Bese uNkosikazi engithatha futhi. Siqhubeka singena ensimini. Sima phambi kwesiphambano esikhulu. UNkosazana uthi,
'Mamukele. Uhambe phambi kwakho.'
Ngiyenqaba, futhi ngizizwa sengathi bonke abantu bomhlaba benza okufanayo futhi bafulathela isiphambano.
Ngidonswa yisandla, futhi ngibona uNkosikazi emi phambi kwami futhi. Ubambe isandla sami kwesakhe. Uthi futhi,
'Woza!'

Umyalezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke ugcizelela ngokucacile ukuthi isiphambano—lapho i-altare liwuphawu lwasemhlabeni—sidinga umhlatshelo kithi sonke. Ukuguqulwa kwangempela kwaleli zwe kungenzeka kuphela ngokuzidela komuntu siqu. Ngakho-ke, iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke icela u-Ida Peerdeman ukuba amukele isiphambano, okusho ukuzidela ngenxa yokuhle. Wonke umuntu uthole umsebenzi wakhe, imizimba yakhe—futhi kungomzimba wakhe lapho kufanele anikele umhlatshelo kuNkulunkulu: umhlatshelo wokuzihlanza nokuhlanganyela ekuvuseleleni umhlaba.
UKristu uyisibonelo sethu kule ndlela. Wasindulela—sonke amaKristu—ekunikeleni umhlatshelo obubanzi bawo budlula noma yini uNkulunkulu angayilindela kumuntu. Emilayezweni kaDade Eugenia Ravasio, sizwa ukuthi ngisho nesenzo esincane kakhulu sobuhle sibaluleke kakhulu kuNkulunkulu. Ngisho nengxenye encane “yegolide elifudumele”—uphawu lobuhle nothando—ebekwe esikalini ingadlula noma iyiphi “insimbi ebandayo”—izenzo ezingenabo ubuhle nothando umuntu azibeka nsuku zonke ngakolunye uhlangothi lwalesi sikali esingokomoya.
UNkulunkulu akalindeli ubuqhawe kithi esikalini saseKalvari. Izenzo ezilula, zansuku zonke zomusa, uthando, kanye nomhlatshelo zanele – yizo ezibumba umhlaba osizungezile futhi ziguqule izinhliziyo zethu.
Kodwa leli zwe alikahlanzwa ebubini. Bheka nje nxazonke: isono siqhubeka singena ezinhlakeni zomphakathi, ebuhlotsheni bomuntu siqu, ngisho nonembeza. Ngakho-ke, ukuvuselelwa kwezwe kudinga ukuzibophezela kwawo wonke umuntu – kungakhathaliseki indawo yakhe, isikhundla, noma ubizo lwakhe.
Lo myalezo uqinisekiswa ngamazwi kaJesu, alotshwe emaVangelini:
“Uma umuntu ethanda ukungilandela, makazidele, athathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele” (Mathewu 16:24).
I-altare lomuntu lingumzimba wakhe – kulapho kufanele anikele khona umhlatshelo ongokomoya kuNkulunkulu. Labo abazidelayo, okungukuthi, abashiya impilo yesono, bangalandela uJesu futhi babe yizikhali zokuguqulwa kwezwe. Ngalo moya, bakhumbula uJoshuwa nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abalwa impi yokunqoba ububi nokususa onkulunkulu bamanga emazweni aseKhanani.
Kodwa-ke, kubalulekile ukugcizelela ukuthi lapha sikhuluma ngeqiniso elingokomoya, hhayi elempi. UNkulunkulu uvame ukwembula izimfihlakalo zeZulu kithi ngezinto ezibonakalayo. Akukhona mayelana nanoma yiziphi izingxabano noma izingxabano ezihlomile, kodwa mayelana nokuhlanza inhliziyo yomuntu ebubini ngokulandela uKristu.
Yinhliziyo yomuntu ngqo ezoba yiThempeli likaNkulunkulu—iZwe Elingcwele.
Kodwa namuhla, abaningi abafuni ukulandela uJesu; abaningi bayaphambuka esiphambanweni. Bambalwa abafuna ukulwa nobubi, ngoba kuyindlela enzima nedingayo. Ukuzidela uKristu akhuluma ngakho kuqala ngokushiya isono—okungukuthi, ukufulathela konke okuphikisa iNtando kaNkulunkulu. Emilayezweni yangaphambilini, sichaze incazelo ejulile yeSiphambano, lapho sibona khona uKristu Obethelwe: hhayi njengophawu lobuthakathaka, kodwa njengokulalela ngokugcwele iNtando kaBaba.
Isono ukuvukela uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu, futhi uKristu Obethelwe esiphambanweni usibonisa ukuthi ngisho nalapho ebhekene nokuhlupheka okukhulu, akazange ahlehle, akazange ahlubuke, akazange alahle iNtando kaBaba. Ngokuphambene nalokho—ngamandla amakhulu omoya, ngesenzo sokulalela okuphelele, wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe ukuze asindise leli zwe. Isiphambano sinobukhulu obungokomoya kithi; siyindlela okufanele siphike ngayo isono, njengoJesu. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho singaba khona amathuluzi okuguquka emoyeni waleli zwe.

"Manje ngibona uMfanekiso okhanyayo, obonakalayo egqoke ingubo ende. Uhamba phambi kwethu. UnguMfanekiso wesilisa, ongokomoya ngokuphelele. Indoda iphethe iSiphambano Esikhulu, esihudula phansi. Angikwazi ukubona ubuso Bakhe. Konke kungumsebe owodwa wokukhanya. Uhamba neSiphambano emhlabeni, kodwa akekho omlandelayo.
'Eyedwa,' kusho uNkosikazi kimi.
'Uhamba yedwa kuleli zwe. Kuzoba kubi kakhulu kuze kube yilapho kwenzeka into embi kakhulu futhi kungazelelwe iSiphambano sima phakathi komhlaba. Manje kuzodingeka basibheke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bayafuna noma cha!'"

Lesi siqeshana somyalezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke sandisa umcabango owavezwa ngaphambilini—ngomehluko wokuthi siqokomisa imiphumela yokungenzi lutho komuntu lapho kunesidingo sokuvuselela umhlaba.
Uma kungekho muntu othwala isiphambano sakhe futhi alandele uKristu Obethelwe, kusho ukuthi akukho muntu olungileyo noyedwa osele. Indaba yeSodoma neGomora iyasikhumbuza. Encwadini kaGenesise, uNkulunkulu uqinisekisa u-Abrahama ukuthi uzoyisindisa le mizi uma kutholakala ngisho nabantu abayishumi abalungile kuyo. Kodwa-ke, ngisho naleli nani elincane lalingekho—futhi imizi yabhujiswa. Kusukela ngesikhathi sikaKristu
, kubonakala sengathi umuntu oyedwa olungileyo kuphela owanele ukusindisa isizwe.
Imiyalezo ka-Ida Peerdeman iphinda iveze isithombe sesizwe esiwile esilele phambi kwaso—esivusa idrama yeSodoma neGomora. Lokhu akuyona into eyenzekile. Kuyisixwayiso esingokomfanekiso: izizwe ezishiya umthetho kaNkulunkulu futhi zifulathele uNkulunkulu zingazilethela imiphumela yokukhetha kwazo.
Masikhumbule futhi isivumelwano esihlotshaniswa neNtaba i-Ebali, lapho kushiwo khona ngokucacile ukuthi isiqalekiso siwela emphakathini ngenxa yesono sawo. Uma abantu bengawenzi umzamo wokuguquka nokuvuselelwa ngokomoya, uma bengalandeli "umholi," bashiya ububi bube ngamacebo abo. Futhi ububi, bushiywe bungalawulwa, buyavuthwa—futhi ekugcineni buqhume. Lokhu kuholela enhlekeleleni, imiphumela yayo ethinta wonke umuntu. Wonke umuntu kumelwe abheke ukuhlupheka, okuhlotshaniswa ngokomfanekiso nesiphambano.
Umlayezo uzwakala ngesixwayiso esimangalisayo: akekho othwala isiphambano sakhe noma olandela uKristu, futhi umhlaba ubheke kwalasha ngokungenakuvinjelwa. Uma kungekho muntu othatha umzamo wokulwa ngokomoya, uma kungatholakali ngisho noyedwa umuntu olungileyo, khona-ke ukuhlupheka kuzoba yinto evamile. Wonke umuntu kuzodingeka abheke imiphumela yokunganaki kwakhe. Lokhu akuyona nje umbono wembubhiso. Kuyisikhumbuzo sangempela sesimiso esingokomoya esihambisane nesintu kusukela ekuqaleni: umhlaba awukwazi ukuba khona ngaphandle komhlatshelo, ngaphandle kobuhle, ngaphandle kwalabo abalandela uKristu.
Indlela imiyalezo edluliselwa ngayo kithi ivumelana ngokugcwele namazwi kaKristu, aseshiwo kakade. INkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe ayigcini nje ngokudonsela ukunaka eqinisweni lesono, kodwa futhi isikhumbuza njalo ngesahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu kanye nobulungisa Bakhe.

Johane 16:7-8
16:7 Kodwa mina nginitshela iqiniso: Kuyinzuzo kini ukuthi ngihambe. Ngokuba uma ngingahambi, uMsizi akayikuza kini . Kodwa uma ngihamba, ngiyakumthumela kini.
16:8 Futhi lapho efika, uyakwahlulela umhlaba ngesono, nokulunga, nokwahlulela .

Abanye bangathanda ukususa la mazwi eVangelini, kodwa - njengoba uKristu amemezela - akukho noyedwa umqulu noma isiqephu esisodwa esizoshintsha eMthethweni.

Mathewu 5:17-20
5:17 Ningacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha uMthetho nabaProfethi. Angizelanga ukuchitha, kodwa ukugcwalisa.
5:18 Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini, kuze kudlule izulu nomhlaba, akusoze kwadlula ibala elilodwa, nelincane, emthethweni , kuze kugcwaliseke konke.
5:19 Ngakho-ke noma ngubani ochitha owodwa wale miyalo, ngisho nomncane kunayo yonke , afundise abanye kanjalo, uyakuthiwa mncane kunayo yonke embusweni wezulu. Kodwa noma ubani oyenzayo futhi ayifundise uyakuthiwa mkhulu embusweni wezulu.
5:20 Ngoba ngithi kini: Uma ukulunga kwenu kungadluli okwababhali nabaFarisi, anisoze nangena embusweni wezulu.

"Bese ngibona izithombe ezingajwayelekile. Ngibona ama-swastika ngaphansi kweSiphambano, ngiwabona ewa; bese kuba izinkanyezi eziwayo, izando namasikela; konke kuwela ngaphansi kweSiphambano. Ngibona obomvu; obomvu awunyamalali ngokuphelele. INkosikazi ithi:
'Wonke umuntu ubheka phezulu. Manje ngokuzumayo wonke umuntu uyafuna, kodwa ngezindleko...
Kwakumnyama kulo mhlaba, kodwa manje konke sekukhanye kakhulu. Manje uyabona ukuthi konke kuyadlula.'"

Ububi obunganqanyulwanga ngokushesha buvame ukukhula ngokungalawuleki. Yilokhu okwenzeka ngemibono equkethe uphawu lwe-swastika noma ubukhomanisi. Uma bengalawulwa futhi benganakwa ezigabeni zabo zokuqala, bakhula baba yinhlekelele yomhlaba wonke, beletha ukuhlupheka ezigidini, ukuchitheka kwegazi, kanye nokuwa kwezisekelo zokuziphatha zempucuko.
Umlando usifundisa ukuthi ububi kumele buqedwe emthonjeni wabo. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho umhlaba ungasindiswa khona ekwandeni kobubi. Futhi amandla kuphela akwazi ukubunqoba ngempela ubuhle obugeleza esiphambanweni—okungukuthi, impi yomuntu siqu nesono eyenzeka enhliziyweni yawo wonke umuntu futhi ehlala idinga ukulahlwa nomhlatshelo.
Sibona ukuthi isiphambano sikaKristu sidlula yonke imibono ewela ezinyaweni zaso. Kuphela ngokumisa umzimba womuntu lapho ebhekene nesono—ngokusiphika, njengoba uKristu enza—umuntu uzokwazi ukunqoba bonke ububi emhlabeni, obubonakala ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu ngemibono yobugebengu.
Kodwa, njengokungathi akakwazi ukuhlola unembeza ngokujulile, umuntu uyaqhubeka nokwenza amaphutha afanayo. Uvumela ububi bukhule kuze kube yilapho bufinyelela izinga lapho ukungenelela kusho ukuhlupheka, ukubhujiswa, kanye nenani elingacabangeki lokukhokha.
Lona umthetho ongokomoya—ongashintshiwe kusukela ekuqaleni kwesikhathi: lapho okuhle kuthule, ububi buyakhala. Lapho umuntu ehluleka ukuzibandakanya empini yansuku zonke nesono enhliziyweni yakhe, khona-ke ububi buyakhula bufinyelele ezingeni lezakhiwo, izizwe, namazwekazi. Futhi ngokushesha noma kamuva, umhlaba kumelwe ubhekane nemiphumela. Kuphela lapho umuntu eqala ukufuna uNkulunkulu—lapho imiphumela yokukhetha kwakhe ingasenakulungiseka.

"Ngizwa isandla sami siba lula. Kungazelelwe ngibona uNkosikazi emi, futhi ephethe irosari. Uthi,
'Qhubeka uthandaza - umhlaba wonke!'
Ukhomba iSiphambano athi,
'Umhlaba wonke kumele ubuyele kuYe, kusukela kwabakhulu kuya kwabancane, kusukela kwabampofu kuya kwabacebile, kodwa kuzodinga umzamo.'
Manje ngibona umhlaba wonke phambi kwami. Njengoba uNkosikazi ebeka unyawo lwakhe kuwo, uthi,
'Ngibeka unyawo lwami emhlabeni. Ngizobasiza futhi ngibaholele emgomweni wabo, kodwa kumele balalele...'
Bese ngibona konke kunyamalala ngokuzumayo phambi kwamehlo ami."

Ukuze kuguqulwe umhlaba ngempela, umthandazo nesenzo kumele kuhambisane. IRosari, nakuba ibonakala ilula, ingumthandazo onamandla angavamile. Emilayezweni, ivame ukufaniswa "nesichotho samatshe" esivela eNcwadini kaJoshuwa—amatshe awela ezulwini ezitheni zomuntu, okungukuthi, amandla obumnyama ahlasela umphefumulo futhi abhubhise ukuhleleka kukaNkulunkulu.
Lapho uJoshuwa ethandaza kuNkulunkulu ukuba amise ilanga nenyanga, iNkosi yaphendula umthandazo wakhe, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, yathumela isichotho samatshe ezitheni zakhe, esenza umonakalo omkhulu ebubini kunenkemba.

Joshuwa 10:11-13
10:11. Ngesikhathi bebalekela u-Israyeli ethambekeni laseBeti-Horoni, uJehova waphonsa amatshe amakhulu ezulwini phezu kwabo, kwaze kwaba se-Azeka, bafa. Abaningi babo bafa ngesichotho kunangenkemba yama-Israyeli.
10:12. Ngosuku uJehova anikela ngalo ama-Amori esandleni sama-Israyeli, uJoshuwa wathi phambi kwama-Israyeli, “ Langa, yima phezu kweGibeyoni, nawe nyanga , phezu kweSigodi sase-Ajaloni!”
10:13. Ngakho ilanga lama, nenyanga yema, kwaze kwaba yilapho abantu sebeziphindiselele ezitheni zabo. Akulotshiwe yini eNcwadini Yokulunga ukuthi: “Ilanga lama phakathi kwezulu, alisheshanga ukushona cishe usuku lonke?”

Kwenzeka into efanayo engokomoya: wonke umuntu othandaza irosari, njengomfanekiso, unisela "isichotho samatshe" esitheni sakhe sangempela—ububi obufihliwe ezinhliziyweni zakhe. INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke, nayo, ibiza umthandazo wokuvimba usongo oluzayo, oluhlotshaniswa ngokomfanekiso nemibono enezimpawu ezishiye uphawu olubuhlungu emlandweni womhlaba. Esigijimini, sibona izimpawu zobushiqela—isando, isikela, i-swastika, nezinkanyezi—ziwela ngaphansi kweSiphambano, esiba njengenkemba kulo mbono. Kufanelekile ukwengeza ukuthi i-swastika ivela ophawu lwasendulo lwelanga, futhi njengoba sibona esithombeni somyalezo, leli langa "limisiwe."
Kodwa-ke, ukuze okuhle kunqobe, umuntu kumele aqale abuyele kuKristu, ofana noJoshuwa ohola abantu bakhe—ozohola isintu ngokomoya ukuze sinqobe ububi.
Kudingeka ukuzikhandla: ukulwa nesono sakho, ubuvila obungokomoya, nokunganaki. Le ndlela idinga ukuzidela, umzamo, nokuthobeka. Ngaphandle kokuguquka komuntu siqu, akukho ukuvuselelwa kweqiniso komhlaba. UKristu ufundisa konke lokhu.
Nokho, asisibo izintandane kulo mzabalazo. INkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ime ohlangothini lwesintu futhi ngokomfanekiso ichoboza ikhanda lenyoka ngokubeka unyawo phansi. Ukuba khona kwayo kumemezela usizo ekunqobeni ububi, kodwa uNkulunkulu unikeza lolu sizo ngokubambisana nesintu.
Ngakho-ke, kumelwe silalele lokho okushiwo yiNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke emilayezweni yayo—hhayi ngezinhliziyo zethu kuphela, kodwa nangempilo yethu yonke. Kungale ndlela kuphela lapho ububi bungase bunqotshwe khona ekugcineni futhi umhlaba uhlanzwe.
