10. Umlayezo, Juni 9, 1946
"Ngiphinde ngibone iNkosazana. Iyaxwayisa, iphakamisa umunwe wayo bese ithi, njengokungathi ibhekisa emhlabeni,
'Urbi et Orbi.' Lena yinto ebaluleke kakhulu okwamanje .
"INkosazana iyehla iphethe umntwana omncane, umntwana othandekayo, ngesling. Ingenza ngiqonde ukuthi kufanele ngimlandele—futhi ngiyamlandela. INkosazana ibeka umntwana phakathi komhlaba. Iqala ukukhala kakhulu. INkosazana ikhomba kuye ithi,
'Bantu abamsekelayo, qaphelani ekugcineni! Angikwazi ukuphinda lokhu kuze kube phakade.'
Bese ngibheka leyo ndawo futhi, kodwa umntwana wanyamalala ngokuzumayo. INkosazana ibheka umhlaba ngokudabuka kakhulu ithi,
'Ubulungiswa, Iqiniso, nothando alunakutholakala phakathi kwabantu .
Bese kuba sengathi iNkosazana ibheke phambili futhi ithi,
"Inhlekelele emva kwenhlekelele. Nginitshela okwesibili ukuthi uma nje lokhu kungekho, ngeke kube khona Ukuthula Kweqiniso. Ngomthandazo, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, ngokusebenzela okuhle, hhayi ngomthandazo kuphela. Sebenza futhi niqaphele!"
Igama elithi "Urbi et Orbi" (elivela kwisiLatini, "Edolobheni naseMhlabeni") lisho ukuthi "ERoma nasezweni." Liyisibusiso esibalulekile sikapapa, esihlanganisa bonke abantu futhi esibonisa umusa nothando lukaNkulunkulu ngomhlaba wonke.
Ekuqaleni, ifomula ethi "Urbi et Orbi" yavela ezinkondlweni zikapapa—imibhalo esemthethweni ebhekiswe eRoma nasezweni lonke. Kuphela ngekhulu le-16 lapho yaba yingxenye ehlala njalo yenkonzo kapapa, ithatha isimo sesibusiso esibalulekile esinikezwa ngezikhathi ezibaluleke kakhulu empilweni yeSonto, ikakhulukazi ngoKhisimusi, uMkhosi Wokuvuka kweNkosi, nangemva kokukhethwa kukapapa omusha.
Ngokomongo woMlayezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, ifomula ethi "Urbi et Orbi" ibhekisela esibusisweni uNkulunkulu asinike umhlaba ngokuwunika iNdodana yakhe. Lesi yisibusiso esibaluleke kakhulu kuzo zonke ezinikezwe isintu nguNkulunkulu. Kulo myalezo, sizwa ukuthi "Urbi et Orbi" yilokho umhlaba okudinga kakhulu namuhla. Ngemva kwala mazwi, iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke yehla emhlabeni, ithwele uMntwana uJesu eboshwe ngendwayimane. Lesi sithombe sihambisana ngokujulile nomyalezo wezambulo zakhe: UJesu Kristu uyimpendulo yenkinga engokomoya yezikhathi zethu, ezweni elicwila ebumnyameni.
Uma sikhuluma ngo-"Urbi et Orbi" kulo mongo, sibhekisela kakhulu kuKristu, owafika emhlabeni ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele njengokukhanya kwabo bonke abantu. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi lo myalezo othize wethulwa ngoMkhosi wePhentekoste, ohambisana nesiko lamaJuda nePhasika - isikhathi lapho kukhunjulwa khona ukunikezwa koMthetho neMiyalo Eyishumi. Ngalolo suku, uMose wamukela kuNkulunkulu izibhebhe zamatshe ezinemiyalo, uphawu oluhlala njalo lweSivumelwano olusekelwe ezinsikeni ezintathu: uthando, ubulungisa, neqiniso. Kukulesi
simo lapho kufanele sicabangele ukuza kukaKristu emhlabeni - njengokukhanya kukaNkulunkulu, oweza ngoMariya ukuzohola isintu ebumnyameni. Ngezimfundiso zakhe, uKristu uzohola abantu ekuphileni okuphakade, afake ezinhliziyweni zabo ukulunga, ubulungisa, nothando lomakhelwane. Ukuza Kwakhe kwakungasho ukusindiswa okusheshayo komhlaba, kodwa ukuqala kwendlela umuntu okumele ayilandele, elalele izimfundiso Zakhe futhi azisebenzise ekuphileni kwansuku zonke. Ngaphandle kwalokhu, akukho ukusindiswa kweqiniso—singakhuluma ngakho kuphela uma, ngokulalela amazwi kaKristu, umuntu ekhululwa ethonyeni lomoya omubi.
Isibusiso esithi "Urbi et Orbi" sisuka eTestamenteni Elidala eNcwadini kaDuteronomi, ethi uma umuntu elalela iZwi likaNkulunkulu, uzobusiswa edolobheni nasensimini, okusho umhlaba wonke.
UDuteronomi 28:1-3
28:1 Manje uma ulalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngokucophelela, ulandele yonke imiyalo yakhe engikunika yona namuhla, khona-ke uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyokuphakamisa ngaphezu kwazo zonke izizwe zomhlaba.
28:2 Zonke lezi zibusiso ziyakufika phezu kwakho, zihlale phezu kwakho, uma ulalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.
28:3 Uyakubusiswa emzini, ubusiswe nasensimini.
UKristu uyisimo seZwi likaNkulunkulu—uMzimba ophakanyiswe nguNkulunkulu ukuze wonke umuntu ambone, amlingise, amuzwe, futhi ngaleyo ndlela agcwalise izimfundiso Zakhe. Kuye, isintu sathola “isibonakaliso” esiholela ekuphileni okuphakade—futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, indlela eya ensindisweni. Ukuza Kwakhe emhlabeni akuzange kulethe insindiso ngokuzenzakalelayo; kwenzeka kancane kancane, enhliziyweni yomuntu ozivulela amazwi Akhe, ahambe ezinyathelweni Zakhe, futhi aqaphe ngokwethembeka izimfundiso Zakhe, ekhetha njengoba uKristu akhetha. Leli qiniso liphinde lizwakale endimeni ecashunwe kuDuteronomi.
UKristu ungukubonakaliswa okugcwele nokuphelele kweZwi likaNkulunkulu, elibusiswe ngabantu baseRoma nangale. Kodwa-ke, umbuzo uba ofanele: kungani lesi simo sishintsha? Kokubili emilayezweni yeNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe kanye nasezehlakalweni zezwe lanamuhla, sibona isithombe sabantu abafulathela iSiphambano kanye noKristu—esikhundleni sokumbusisa, bayamlahla kakhulu, futhi baze bamqalekise.
Umzimba kaKristu emhlabeni yiSonto Lakhe. Nokho, uma iSonto ngokwalo liziqhelelanisa neZwi likaNkulunkulu, liqinisa isibopho salo nomoya waleli zwe, futhi isono singena ezinhlwini zalo—ngenxa yokungaqapheli kwabelusi balo—khona-ke igunya likaKristu liyayeka ukuzwiwa ngabantu. Imbangela enkulu yalesi simo yisono esikhona “eMzimbeni Wakhe,” okungukuthi, iSonto, empeleni elakha ukwephulwa kweSivumelwano noNkulunkulu esibhalwe eNcwadini yoMthetho kaMose. Ngokuphula iSivumelwano noNkulunkulu, iSonto lizilethela isiqalekiso.
Ngakho-ke, iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ibuyisela uKristu emhlabeni—ezindaweni ezivame ukuhanjwa yizihambi, ezindaweni lapho kuye kwenzeka khona izithunzi zikaMariya kuwo wonke umlando emhlabeni wonke.
Lapho iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke ibeka uMntwana uJesu emhlabeni, uqala ukukhala—isibonakaliso sobuhlungu nokudabuka phambi kwezwe elenqaba uthando, ubulungiswa, neqiniso. Yilezi zindinganiso ezintathu, njengoba kugcizelelwe emilayezweni yangaphambili, ezakha “umcibisholo” ongokomoya weSivumelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nesintu, lapho ukuthula kweqiniso kungabusa khona.
INkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe ikhomba ukuthi lezi zindinganiso ziyanyamalala naseRoma uqobo, isikhungo esingokomoya seSonto. Ukhuluma ngobizo lwakhe ngendlela ekhethekile kubapristi, ebakhumbuza ukuthi basemhlabeni ngenxa kaKristu. Ukuze lesi sibusiso sihlale sikhona emhlabeni, labo abangabakaKristu kumele baqinisekise ukuthi uhlala ekhona phakathi kwabantu.
Yilo kanye umsebenzi wabo: ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uKristu ukhona ezinhliziyweni zabathembekile—kuze kube sezingeni anikezwa ngalo umhlaba nguNkulunkulu—nokuqinisekisa ukuthi isono asigxili ezinhlwini zabapristi, ngakho-ke uKristu “akahlwithwa” kubo, njengoba kwenzeka eNtabeni Yeminqumo. Isono eBandleni LikaKristu asibangeli nje kuphela igama likaKristu ukuba lingcoliswe, kodwa negama likaNkulunkulu uqobo.
UJesu uqobo, ethandaza eNsimini Yeminqumo, ukhuluma noBaba ngala mazwi: “Malingcweliswe igama lakho.”
Igama likaNkulunkulu lingangcweliswa kuphela uma labo abangabaKhe belalela izwi Lakhe futhi begcwalisa ngokwethembeka imiyalo Yakhe. Ngamanye amazwi, iGama likaNkulunkulu liyangcweliswa lapho intando Yakhe igcwaliseka emhlabeni, lapho uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ongokomoya ungafika khona emhlabeni.
Kubalulekile futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi phakathi noMthandazo WeNkosi, abafundi Bakhe balala. UKristu, ebavusa, ubabiza ukuba baqaphe, ebakhumbuza ukuthi "umoya uyavuma, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka."
Lesi sithombe sibonisa indlela umoya omubi ozama ngayo ukuvimbela umuntu othandazayo, ebangela emzimbeni wakhe zonke izinhlobo zokukhathala, okwenza umoya ube buthaka.
Ngale ndlela, abafundi bakaKristu babizelwa ukuba baqaphe ngokomoya futhi basebenze emizimbeni yabo, funa umoya omubi ungene ngaphakathi kwabo, ugqilaze imiphefumulo yabo, futhi ubanikele ekubusweni yisono, ubaphuce uKristu—isithelo Sokuphila. Masikhumbule ukuthi kwakuwukuntuleka kuka-Adamu no-Eva ukuqapha kanye nokuzithoba kwabo enyokeni okwaholela ekulahlekelweni kwabo ukufinyelela isithelo Sokuphila.
Omunye wemifanekiso kaKristu ubhekisela eqinisweni elifanayo elingokomoya, okubonisa ukuthi ukuntuleka kokuqapha kanye nokulwa ngokomoya nobubi kuholela ekulahlekelweni umusa, ebuthakathakeni bokholo kanye nokunqanyulwa kwesibopho noNkulunkulu okuxhomeke kukho ukuphila komuntu kwangempela.
Mathewu 12:29-30
12:29 Noma umuntu angangena kanjani endlini yendoda enamandla, aphange impahla yayo, uma engabophi kuqala indoda enamandla, abese ephanga indlu yayo.
12:30 Ongekho nami umelene nami, nalowo ongabuthi nami uyahlakaza.
Kulo mfanekiso, ikhaya lingumzimba womuntu, kanti indoda enamandla ingumphefumulo, ebizelwe ukuqapha nokuqapha. Umoya omubi ungangena kuleli khaya lapho umphefumulo ungaqaphile futhi ungawuvikeli esela. Lokhu kwenzeka ikakhulukazi lapho iGazi leWundlu, okubhekiselwa eGazini likaKristu, lingekho ekhaya, futhi lapho umphefumulo—esikhundleni sokumelana nobubi—uvumela isono.
Sithuthela eNtabeni Yeminqumo, lapho uKristu athandaza khona ngaphambi nje kokuboshwa kwakhe, sizwa ukubiza kwakhe kubafundi ukuba baqaphe. Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi ukuqapha kuhlobene kakhulu nomthandazo. Ngokuthandaza, umuntu umema uMoya kaKristu ngaphakathi komuntu, futhi njengoba sifunda eVangelini, nguYe onamandla okukhipha imimoya emibi. Iphuzu-ke, ukugcina ububi bungekho emicabangweni yomuntu, ukuze bungalawuli umzimba. Umthandazo ngezikhathi zobuthakathaka uba ithuluzi eliphumelelayo lokugwema imicabango emibi engaphenduka isono, ngoba zonke izono zivela enhliziyweni nasemqondweni womuntu.
UKristu ubiza abafundi bakhe ukuba baqaphele—baqaphe ikhaya labo njengomninindlu ongavumeli isela ukuba lintshontshe okuyigugu kakhulu. Lesi sithombe sinobukhulu obungokomoya: sibonisa isidingo sokuqapha njalo ukuvimbela isono ukuba singangeni enhliziyweni yomuntu, esasizontshontsha ukuphila okuphakade. Njengoba sesishilo kakade, isimo esifanayo senzeka ku-Adamu no-Eva, lapho umoya omubi waphuca khona isipho sokuphila okuphakade, okwaholela ekubeni bangalaleli uNkulunkulu. Sizobuyela
kulesi sihloko esithombeni esilandelayo soMlayezo, lapho u-Ida Peerdeman ebona khona amademoni esondela emhlabeni—intuthuko eyengeziwe yobizo lokuqapha nempi yokomoya.
Imiyalezo yeNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe inezingqimba eziningi. Isithombe sikaJesu Osengumntwana, owaphinde wabekwa emhlabeni yiNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe, sibhekisela emfanekisweni womninindlu owahamba uhambo futhi waphathisa izinceku zakhe ukuphathwa kwendlu yakhe.
Marko 13:33-37
13:33. Hlalani nilindile, nilinde , ngokuba anazi ukuthi isikhathi sizofika nini.
13:34. Ngoba kunjengomuntu owahamba uhambo , washiya indlu yakhe, wabeka izinceku zakhe phezu kwakho konke, wabela yilowo nalowo umsebenzi, wayala umlindimnyango ukuba alinde.
13:35. Ngakho-ke hlalani nilindile, ngokuba anazi ukuthi inkosi yendlu izofika , kusihlwa, noma phakathi kwamabili, noma ekukhaleni kwezinkukhu, noma ekuseni.
13:36. funa afike ngokuzumayo, anifumane nilele .
13:37. Kodwa lokho engikushoyo kini, ngikusho kubo bonke: Hlalani nilindile !
Kulo mfanekiso, uKristu uyiNkosi ebuya emhlabeni ngeNkosikazi yezizwe zonke. Kodwa-ke, uMntwana uJesu uqala ukukhala, eveza ukunganeliseki kwakhe, futhi ekugcineni uyanyamalala, ngoba emhlabeni, izindinganiso ezifana nokulunga, ubulungiswa, nothando lomakhelwane—zona kanye lezo esizichaze ngaphambilini ngokuthi “umcibisholo” ongokomoya, uphawu lweSivumelwano phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nesintu—azitholakali. Labo ababizelwe ukusebenzela uNkulunkulu abazange bazame ukwenza lezi zindinganiso zibe khona ezinhliziyweni zabo noma ezinhliziyweni zabanye.
Bese sizwa ngezinhlekelele ezisindayo emhlabeni ngenxa yesivumelwano esaphukile noNkulunkulu. INkosikazi yezizwe zonke igcizelela ukuthi kuze kube yilapho lezi zindinganiso zibusa emhlabeni, ukuthula kweqiniso akunakuba khona.
Imiyalezo yeNkosikazi yezizwe zonke ithinta ngokuphindaphindiwe isihloko sokuthula, okusobala ngempela—ukuthula kokubonisa. Izinsongo zangempela zaleli zwe zivame ukuhlala zingabonakali kubantu, zifihliwe “ngemuva kwezigcawu.” Kodwa-ke, uNkulunkulu ubona konke okufihliwe ezinhliziyweni zabantu. Ukuthula kwaleli zwe—okusekelwe ekuxhashazweni kwabakhulu phezu kwabancane—akusikho ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu.
Ukuthula kweqiniso phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nesintu kungaba khona kuphela uma ukulunga, ubulungiswa, nothando lomakhelwane kubusa ngempela emhlabeni. Izinhlekelele ezizayo emhlabeni ziwumphumela wokuphulwa kweSivumelwano noNkulunkulu, esilotshwe eNcwadini yoMthetho kaMose. Ngokungafani neSivumelwano noNowa, okwaphulwa kwaso okwaholela kuZamcolo, iNcwadi yoMthetho kaMose inemininingwane eminingi futhi iveza uhlu oluphelele lwezijeziso ezizokwehlela labo abahluleka ukugcina iSivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
Ngenkathi esigcawini sangaphambilini soMlayezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, uMntwana uJesu ekhuluma ngokubuya kwenkosi, manje uba uThingo Lwenkosazana—isibonakaliso soMoya kaNkulunkulu. UKristu nguYe ophethe uMoya kaNkulunkulu ngaphakathi kuye, owembulwe ngokulunga, ubulungiswa, nothando lomakhelwane. Lezi yizona kanye izindinganiso azifundisa abafundi bakhe, ukuze babe ukukhanya kwezwe, njengaye, umnsalo—ingalo kaNkulunkulu ukuze kuzuze leli zwe.
Lapho iNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke ibuyisela uMntwana uJesu emhlabeni, uyanyamalala. INkosikazi ibheka buthule futhi igxile, ingayiboni iNdodana yayo, ngoba ilahliwe ngabantu, futhi labo abamiselwe Yena emhlabeni bamfulathele. Ngalesi sikhathi, kuvela isibonakaliso sezinhlekelele ezizayo.
Kulesi sithombe, uKristu uba uThingo—umnsalo nengalo kaNkulunkulu, kuyilapho iNkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe ibonisa uNkulunkulu, obheka umhlaba futhi—engamboni uKristu, iSibonakaliso Sesivumelwano—ememezela izinhlekelele ezizayo. Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi inhlekelele yehlela lezo zindawo lapho uKristu nezindinganiso azifundisayo zingekho khona. Uma nje ekhona phakathi kwamaJuda, iJerusalema lakhuthazela; nokho, lapho elahlwa futhi ebulawa yibo, uThingo lwanyamalala. Ngenxa yalokho, iThempeli eJerusalema labhujiswa, futhi abantu bamaJuda bathunjwa.
Lokhu kufanekisa kubhekisela ezivumelwaneni ezenziwa noNowa noMose, okubonisa ukuthi zonke izivumelwano uNkulunkulu azenza nesintu zihlala zisebenza futhi zifuna ukwethembeka.
Omunye umfanekiso ovela eVangelini obhekisela ngokucacile esithombeni soMlayezo umfanekiso wesivini:
Marko 12:1-9
12:1. Waqala ukukhuluma nabo ngemifanekiso, wathi: “Umuntu othile watshala isivini, wasibiyela ngodonga, wemba isikhamo sewayini, wakha umbhoshongo. Ekugcineni, wasiqashisa kubalimi, wahamba.
12:2 Ngesikhathi esifanele, wathuma inceku kubalimi ukuba ithathe kubo isabelo sezithelo zesivini.
12:3 Bayibamba, bayishaya, bayimukisa ingenalutho.
12:4 Wabe esethuma enye inceku kubo, bayishaya ekhanda, bayihlambalaza.
12:5 Wathumela enye futhi, bayibulala. Wathuma nezinye eziningi, ezinye kuzo bazishaya, ezinye bazibulala.
12:6 Wayenenye indodana, ayithandayo; wayithumela kubo ekugcineni, ngokuba wathi phakathi kwakhe: ‘Bayakuyihlonipha indodana yami.’
12:7 Kodwa labo balimi bathi omunye komunye: ‘Lo uyindlalifa.’ Wozani, masimbulale, ifa libe ngelethu.
12:8 Base bembamba, bambulala, bamphonsa ngaphandle kwesivini.
12:9 Uzokwenzenjani umninisivini? Uzofika ababhubhise abalimi, anike abanye isivini.
Kulesi sithombe, iNkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe ibonakalisa uNkulunkulu, owathumela iNdodana yakhe esivinini ukuze ivune isivuno esifanele. Lesi sivuno yimiphefumulo yabantu abagcwele uMoya kaNkulunkulu.
Esikhundleni sokunika uNkulunkulu okungokwakhe, izinceku zithatha amandla, zizibiza ngokuthi zingabaphathi bodwa besivini.
Uma sibheka umoya waleli zwe, sibona indlela efanayo: igunya, okufanele likhonze umuntu ngokwemvelo, livame ukuba yisiphetho ngokwalo. Umuntu bese eqala ukukhonza igunya, hhayi ngenye indlela. Ukwenqatshwa kweNdodana—indlalifa efanele—kuwukuphela kwale nqubo.
Lapho indodana yomnikazi wesivini ibulawa yizinceku ezimbi—uMntwana uJesu uyanyamalala emhlabeni—umnikazi wesivini uletha inhlekelele phezu kwazo, ezibhubhisa futhi anike abanye isivini. Lo mfanekiso uyisixwayiso esinzima izinceku zikaNkulunkulu okungafanele zisikhohlwe, futhi uphinda umfanekiso weJerusalema esisanda kukhuluma ngalo.
UKristu uvela eMiyalezweni “njengomncane”—futhi nabafundi Bakhe kufanele babe njalo, ngokuvumelana namazwi kaKristu athi umfundi akamkhulu kunomfundisi wakhe, noma inceku kunenkosi yakhe. Ngakho-ke, bonke abafisa ukuba “bakhulu” eMbusweni weZulu akumelwe badlule iNkosi yabo lapha emhlabeni, kodwa kumelwe bafane naYe ngokuthobeka nangokukhonza.
Emyalezweni weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, sizwa ukuthi ukuze kugwenywe inhlekelele, kokubili ukusebenzela ubuhle nomthandazo kuyadingeka—okwakuqala kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukuxoshwa kobubi kuleli zwe ngeke kwenzeke ngokwako; sidinga abantu abangabakaKristu, abakhanyisela abanye indlela eya kuNkulunkulu, njengoba nje naye enza empilweni yaKhe. Abantu abanjalo bayingalo kaKristu emhlabeni.
Umthandazo uqinisa umuntu emsebenzini womubi, ozama ngazo zonke izindlela ukuwisa labo abazinikele ngempela kuNkulunkulu. Ngokuthandaza, siqapha “indlu” yethu ukuze ingaphangwa yisela. Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi umthandazo awusona isiphetho ngokwawo, kodwa uyindlela yokusiza ukwenza umhlaba ube indawo engcono nokunikeza ukwesekwa ngokomoya emzabalazweni wansuku zonke.
Ukusebenzela okuhle kuhlala kuyindlela eyinhloko, kuyilapho umthandazo uqinisa umuntu ukuba ahambe kuyo. Kubalulekile futhi ukuthi uMlayezo uqale usebenzise amagama athi “umsebenzi nomthandazo,” kulandelwe “umsebenzi nokuqapha,” ugcizelela ukuthi ukuqapha kweBhayibheli kuhlobene kakhulu nomthandazo futhi kwakha ingxenye yawo engokomoya.
Ngibe sengibona uNkosikazi esondela eceleni. Manje ngiboniswa isithombe esinyanyekayo kakhulu. Kusukela kolunye uhlangothi, sengathi amademoni asondela kimi. Lezi yizidalwa ezizulazula ngokuxakile; ezinezimpondo emakhanda azo, izinzipho ezihlekisayo, nobuso obubi. Ngizwa uNkosikazi ethi,
"Ngibikezela inhlekelele enkulu nentsha emhlabeni .
UNkosikazi usho la mazwi ngokudabuka nangokuxwayisa. Bese ethi,
"Uma abantu bebengalalela..."—futhi aqhubeke nokunikina ikhanda lakhe.
Bese ngibona isikhathi esifushane bese ngizwa,
"Kubonakala sengathi konke kuzohamba kahle, isikhathi esifushane .
Manje ngibona umhlaba, futhi uNkosikazi ukhomba kuwo. Ngibona izibani ezikhanyayo nemisebe; kunjengokungathi umhlaba usakazeka kuzo zonke izinhlangothi. Bese uNkosikazi ukhomba esibhakabhakeni. Umi ngakwesokudla sami, ngakho entshonalanga, futhi ukhomba empumalanga. Ngibona izinkanyezi eziningi esibhakabhakeni. UNkosikazi uthi,
. "
Isithombe esingenhla soMlayezo sihlanganisa izinkomba emithonjeni eyahlukene yeBhayibheli: Incwadi yoMthetho KaMose equkethwe kuDuteronomi, i-Apocalypse kaSt. John, kanye neVangeli ngokusho kukaSt. Mark. INkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe imemezela inhlekelele entsha, ehlotshaniswa nokuvela emhlabeni kwamademoni angenakubalwa, njengoba nje ehlasela u-Ida Peerdeman, azohlasela nalabo abamaziyo uNkulunkulu. Into efanayo yenzeka ePharadesi, lapho umoya omubi ukhohlisa u-Adamu no-Eva, ubaholela ekwephuleni umyalo kaNkulunkulu.
U-Ida Peerdeman wanikwa umusa wokubona izidalwa zomoya, ezivame ukungabonakali emehlweni omuntu, ngenxa yalokho angasitshela lokho akubona. Ekupheleni kwalesi sithombe esesabekayo kukhona amagama abalulekile: "Ukube nje abantu bebengalalela..."
Uma siqhubekela eNcwadini yoMthetho KaMose, siyaqaphela ukuthi inesakhiwo esifanayo. UNkulunkulu uxwayisa abantu ukuthi uma bengalaleli izwi Lakhe futhi belandela ngokwethembeka imiyalo Yakhe, iziqalekiso zizowela phezu kwabo; nokho, ukulalela iZwi likaNkulunkulu kuzoletha isibusiso. Lokhu okunye—ukuphila noma ukufa, isibusiso noma isiqalekiso—kuyisisekelo seSivumelwano.
Ake sicaphune kuDuteronomi:
UDuteronomi 28:15-21
28:15 Uma ungalaleli izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho futhi ungalandeli ngokucophelela yonke imiyalo nezimiso engikunika zona namuhla, khona-ke zonke lezi ziqalekiso ziyokwehlela phezu kwakho zikufice.
28:16 Uyoqalekiswa emzini futhi uqalekiswe ensimini.
28:17 Ubhasikidi wakho nomkhombe wakho wokuxovela.
28:18 Kuyoqalekiswa isithelo sesisu sakho, umkhiqizo womhlabathi wakho, nenzalo yezinkomo zakho, nenzalo yezimvu zakho.
28:19 Kuyoqalekiswa ukungena kwakho nokuphuma kwakho.
28:20 UJehova uyokuthuma isiqalekiso, isikhubekiso, nesithiyo kukho konke obeka isandla sakho kukho, noma ngabe wenzani. Uyochotshozwa futhi ubhubhe ngokuzumayo ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zakho, ngoba ungishiyile.
28:21 UJehova uyobangela isifo esiwumshayabhuqe ukuba sikunamathele uze uqedwe ezweni ongena kulo ukulidla.
Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi uma abantu belalela amazwi eNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, ethunyelwe nguNkulunkulu neNdodana njengoMlamuleli, umhlaba ubuyogcwala izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu kuphela. UNkulunkulu udala isintu ngeZwi, ngakho-ke impendulo yomuntu iyadingeka. Indalo ingenzeka kuphela uma isintu silalela uNkulunkulu futhi sigcwalisa ngokwethembeka imiyalo yaKhe.
ImiBhalo Engcwele iyiZwi likaNkulunkulu, enikeza izakhi zokwakha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu. Noma ubani ofisa ukufana noNkulunkulu kufanele asebenzise lesi sakhi ukwakha ithempeli lemizimba yakhe—okungukuthi, ukubumba umoya wakhe ngomfanekiso woMoya kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke, iZwi likaNkulunkulu, njengesakhi sokwakha isakhiwo esingokomoya, akumelwe nje kuphela lizwakale futhi lamukelwe mathupha kodwa futhi limenyezelwe kwabanye ukuze uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ufike emhlabeni wonke.
EVangelini likaMarku, uKristu umemezela inhlekelele entsha, engabonwanga kusengaphambili eNcwadini yoMthetho KaMose. Ukuphela kwezwe okuchazwe lapho akusona isenzakalo esingahleliwe, kodwa umphumela wokwanda kwesono—kokubili ngaphakathi kwezakhiwo zeSonto nasemhlabeni wonke. Lesi sithombe sesiphelo sezwe sibonisa isijeziso sokwephula iSivumelwano noNkulunkulu—ngokuntuleka kobulungiswa, ukulunga, nothando lomakhelwane emhlabeni.
Ukube bekungekho noyedwa emhlabeni uNkulunkulu ayengazibona kuye—uMoya waKhe, Uthando lwaKhe, iQiniso, kanye noBulungiswa—umhlaba ubuyobhujiswa.
Esiprofethweni sikaKristu eVangelini likaMarku, sizwa ukuthi inhlekelele iyagwenywa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu; ngaphandle kwalokho, akekho obengasinda. Lokhu kuhambisana nemiBhalo eNgcwele, ethi uma uNkulunkulu ethola abantu abalungile emzini othile, ngeke awubhubhise.
Kodwa-ke, ngemva kwalesi sikhathi sobuhle obubonakalayo, kuzovela abaprofethi bamanga, cishe bethi bagwemile inhlekelele. Bazokwenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, bezibiza ngokuthi bangoMesiya nabaprofethi, ukuze bakhohlise abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu kuqala. Kuphela lapho nabo benqotshwa ukukhohliswa lapho ukuphela kokugcina, okwethulwa njengenhlekelele yendawo yonke, kuzofika khona.
Emyalezweni weNkosikazi yazo zonke izizwe, sizwa ukuthi amademoni azovela emhlabeni, edala isiphithiphithi esifana nalesi okukhulunywa ngaso esiprofethweni sikaKristu. Amademoni azofuna ukuhlukanisa abantu, aguqule ubulungiswa nokulunga, futhi alethe incithakalo lapho kungafanele khona—eBandleni.
Isikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu egodla khona isijeziso ngenxa yabakhethiweyo sizoba sifushane, futhi phakathi nalesi sikhathi, abakhethiweyo bazovezwa ekukhohlisweni okunonya kakhulu. Lapho nabo benqotshwa, ukuphela kokugcina kuzofika. Umlayezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke ugcizelela ukuthi phakathi nalesi sikhathi esifushane—esingabonwa ngu-Ida Peerdeman—konke kuzobonakala kulungile, kodwa ngisho nabakhethiweyo ekugcineni bazonqotshwa, futhi inhlekelele—evezwa njengeyendawo yonke—ngokungenakugwenywa yenzeke.
Isithombe esilandelayo kuMlayezo sibonisa lapho sizithola khona kulesi siprofetho: umfowethu uphikisa umfowethu, emnikela ekufeni, futhi incithakalo ibonakala lapho kungafanele ibe khona. Lokhu kubhekisela esimweni eBandleni—izingxabano nokuhlukana phakathi kukaPapa nababhishobhi, abathi, esikhundleni sokuhola abantu kuKristu, balwe impi yangaphakathi.
Umbono ube usuveza umthombo wobubi: amabutho amademoni, afana nezilwane ezinezimpondo emakhanda azo. KuGenesise, uNkulunkulu ubikezela ubutha phakathi kwenyoka nowesifazane, embula impi yaphakade phakathi kokuhle nokubi. Ngakho-ke, okuhle kumelwe kulwelwe—njalo nangokuqaphela.
Yilawa mademoni, inzalo yenyoka yasendulo, abangela ukubhujiswa kokuhle emhlabeni kanye nazo zonke izinxushunxushu. Nawo, enza njengoba enza ePharadesi, lapho inyoka—ngaphansi kwesicashazi sokukhuluma egameni likaNkulunkulu—ikhohlisa u-Adamu no-Eva, njengoba nendima evela eVangelini likaMarku (Marku 13:5–6) ikhumbuza.
Naphezu kobukhulu besixwayiso, iNkosazana Yazo Zonke Izizwe inikeza ithemba: lesi simo akudingeki senzeke. Inhlekelele ayigwemeki. UNkulunkulu uyaqhubeka ekhuluma nesintu—ngeZwi Lakhe, ngeSonto, nangoMariya. Kwanele ngesintu ukuba sizimisele ukulalela izwi leZulu futhi siphendule ngokuphila okuvumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu.
UMarku 13:5-27
13:5. UJesu waqala ukuthi kubo: “Qaphelani ukuba kungabikho onikhohlisayo .
13:6 Abaningi bayakuza ngegama lami, bathi: ‘Nginguye.’ Futhi bazodukisa abaningi.
13:7 Nxa nizwa ngezimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi, ningesabi. Lokhu kumelwe kwenzeke, kodwa ukuphela akukafiki.
13:8 Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso ; kuyakuba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba ezindaweni ngezindawo, nendlala. Lokhu kungukuqala kosizi.
13:9 Kodwa nina, qaphelani. Bayoninikela ezinkantolo, futhi niyoshaywa emasinagogeni. Niyokuma phambi kwababusi namakhosi ngenxa yami, kube ngubufakazi kubo.
13:10 Kodwa ivangeli kumelwe lishunyayelwe kuqala ezizweni zonke.
13:11 Futhi lapho benihola ukuze banikhaphele, ningakhathazeki kusengaphambili ngalokho enizokusho; kodwa khulumani noma yini enitshelwa ukuba niyisho. Ngaleso sikhathi kuyokwambulwa. Ngoba akunina enikhulumayo, kodwa uMoya oNgcwele.
13:12. Umfowabo uyakunikela umfowabo ekufeni, noyise umntwana; abantwana bayakuvukela abazali, bababulale.
13:13. Futhi niyozondwa yibo. konke ngenxa yegama lami. Kodwa lowo okhuthazela kuze kube sekupheleni uyakusindiswa.
13:14. Futhi nxa nibona isinengiso esibangela incithakalo simi lapho kungafanele khona - ofundayo makaqonde - khona-ke labo abaseJudiya mababalekele ezintabeni.
13:15. Ophezu kwendlu makangehli noma angene endlini ukuyothatha utho.
13:16. Futhi lowo osensimini makangebuyeli emuva ukuyothatha ingubo yakhe.
13:17. Kodwa maye kulabo abakhulelweyo nabancelisayo ngalezo zinsuku!
13:18. Futhi thandazani ukuthi kungafiki ebusika.
13:19. Ngoba lezo zinsuku ziyoba yisikhathi sokuhlupheka, okungakaze kube khona kusukela ekuqaleni kokudalwa. 13:20 Futhi uma iNkosi ibingazifinyezi lezo zinsuku, bekungeke kusindiswe muntu .
Kodwa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo abakhethileyo, izozifinyeza lezo zinsuku.
13:21 Futhi-ke uma umuntu ethi kini: 'Bhekani, nangu uKristu!' bhekani, lapho, ningakholwa.
13:22 Ngokuba oMesiya bamanga nabaprofethi bamanga bayakuvela, benze izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, badukise abakhethiweyo, uma kungenzeka .
13:23 Ngakho-ke qaphelani nina! Nginitshelile konke kusenesikhathi.
13:24 Ngalezo zinsuku, emva kwalolo sizi, ilanga liyofiphala, nenyanga ayiyikukhanya.
13:25 Izinkanyezi ziyakuwa ezulwini , namandla asezulwini ayakuzanyazanyiswa.
13:26 Khona-ke bayakubona iNdodana yomuntu iza emafwini inamandla nenkazimulo enkulu.
13:27 Khona iyakuthuma izingelosi, iqoqe abakhethiweyo bayo emimoyeni yomine, kusukela emikhawulweni yomhlaba kuze kube semikhawulweni yezulu.
INkosikazi Yazo Zonke Izizwe ikhombisa u-Ida Peerdeman inhlekelele ehilela izinkanyezi eziwa esibhakabhakeni. Lesi sithombe sibonisa izidalwa zasezulwini ezisondela zivela empumalanga, ezihloselwe ukuletha imbubhiso emhlabeni wonke. Lesi sithombe singahunyushwa njengesibikezelo senhlekelele yobukhulu bendawo yonke. Isibonelo senhlekelele enjalo kungaba ukushayisana kweMilky Way Galaxy ne-Andromeda Galaxy, okuthi—ngokusho kocwaningo lwesayensi—kungenakugwenywa. Olunye uhlobo lokubhujiswa olungenzeka kungaba yimvula ye-asteroid esondela evela empumalanga futhi ishaya uMhlaba.
Kodwa-ke, okungaphambi kwayo akuyona indlela yenhlekelele ngokwayo ebalulekile ekucabangeni kwethu.
EVangelini likaMarku, sifunda ukuthi ngaphambi nje kwezehlakalo zokugcina, kuzokwenzeka isikhathi sesiphithiphithi sendawo yonke. Lokhu kuzoholela ekuhlukaneni phakathi kwezizwe, kodwa futhi nasekuhlukaneni okujulile ngaphakathi kweSonto likaKristu uqobo. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi iVangeli likaMarku likhuluma “ngokuqalekiswa” kwabafundi bakaKristu beqiniso—ngaphakathi nangaphandle koMuzi.
UMarku 13:9 Kodwa qaphelani: bazoninikela ezinkantolo , futhi nizoshaywa emasinagogeni ; futhi nizomiswa kwababusi namakhosi
Lokhu kuwukuhlanekezela okucacile kwesibusiso esithi "Urbi et Orbi" okukhulunywe ngaso ngaphambili. Lesi siqalekiso sihlobene nokuntuleka "kwe-arc" - uphawu lothingo, oluhlotshaniswa noMoya kaKristu. Ungumnikazi wothando lomakhelwane, ubulungiswa, nokulunga - izindinganiso eziholela ekuthuleni kweqiniso.
UKristu uxwayisa ngokuthi lapho uNkulunkulu ebonisa isihe saKhe emhlabeni ngenxa yabakhethiweyo, kuzovela abaprofethi bamanga abaningi abazozenza Yena. Lapha sibona ukufanekisela umbono - "uthingo" lwamanga - uphawu olungenalo okuqukethwe yiSivumelwano. Ezweni lanamuhla, abantu abaningi bavela bephethe amabhanela othingo lwamanga olunjalo.
Konke lokhu kuholela ekulahlekelweni yisibusiso sikaNkulunkulu, ngoba uNkulunkulu akaboni uthando ngomakhelwane, ubulungiswa, noma ukulunga emhlabeni. Umthombo wakho konke lokhu yimimoya emibi iNkosazana Yezizwe Zonke eyibonisa u-Ida Peerdeman - amademoni akhululiwe njengezinja eziboshwe ngamaketanga. Labo abangalindi “ikhaya” labo, abaphikeleli emthandazweni, futhi ikakhulukazi abangafinyeleli irosari—eyayibekwe njengesikhali sokulwa namademoni—bazoba sengozini enkulu yokuthonywa yiwo.
I-Apocalypse of St. John nayo ibhekisela kulesi simo sezwe:
IsAmbulo 20:7-10
20:7. Lapho iminyaka eyinkulungwane isiphelile,
uSathane uyakukhululwa etilongweni lakhe .
20:8. Uyakuphuma ukuyodukisa izizwe
ezisemagumbini amane omhlaba,
uGogi noMagogi,
ukuze azibuthele empini;
inani lazo linjengesihlabathi solwandle .
20:9. Baphuma baya ebusweni bomhlaba
, bazungeza ikamu labangcwele nomuzi othandekayo .
Umlilo wehla uvela kuNkulunkulu ezulwini,
wabaqeda .
20:10. UDeveli owabadukisayo
waphonswa echibini lomlilo nesibabule,
lapho kukhona khona isilo nomprofethi wamanga;
bayakuhlushwa imini nobusuku kuze kube phakade naphakade.
Incwadi yesAmbulo ikhuluma ngamademoni ekhululwa ngobuningi emhlabeni ukuze akhohlise abantu futhi ahlwanyele isiyaluyalu. Azozungeza ikamu labangcwele kanye noMuzi Othandekayo - iRoma. Lapho amademoni efinyelela umgomo wawo, uNkulunkulu uzothumela umlilo uvela ezulwini, uqede konke - lesi sithombe singaqondwa njengenhlekelele enkulu.
Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi lo mbono uhambisana neVangeli likaMarku kanye noMlayezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke. Lonke uMlayezo uwubizo lokuqapha, funa umoya omubi uthathe amandla phezu komzimba nomphefumulo womuntu. Lesi simo sibonakala njengohlobo lovivinyo, oluzodlula kuphela labo abanamandla okholweni. Bayoba abapristi beNkosi eNdlu yeNkosi, njengoba sifunda kamuva eNcwadini yesAmbulo.
Uma sihlala neVangeli likaMarku kanye neziprofetho eziphathelene nokuphela kwesikhathi, kufanelekile ukucabangela amazwi kaKristu, ahlala ephikisana kuze kube namuhla. Nansi imisho:
Mathewu 13:30 . "Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesi sizukulwane asiyikudlula kungakenzeki konke lokhu."
Empilweni yomphakathi, impikiswano ivame ukuvela yokuthi lesi siprofetho asikagcwaliseki, njengoba uKristu ekhuluma ngokugcwaliseka kwaso njengesizukulwane Sakhe. Okwamanje, njengoba sishilo ngaphambili, uNkulunkulu uchaza izindaba zeZulu kubantu ngezinto ezibonakalayo. Ememezela ukugcwaliseka kwesiprofetho, uKristu usiqhathanisa nomuthi womkhiwane ohluma amahlumela entwasahlobo. Lesi sithombe sibhekisela ngokucacile esimweni sokujikeleza kwezinkathi, futhi ngaleyo ndlela siphinde sivele izinqubo ezithile.
Ngakho-ke, siyabona ukuthi lesi siprofetho sijikeleza, njengezinkathi, futhi ukugcwaliseka kwaso kwenzeka kuzo zonke izizukulwane. Isizukulwane ngasinye sibhekana nokuphakama nokwehla, futhi umuntu ngamunye ekugcineni uyahamba kuleli zwe. Kumuntu, umzuzu wokufa uba "ukuphela" kwakhe siqu: ilanga liyayeka ukukhanya, inyanga ifiphale, nezinkanyezi ziwe ezulwini.
Ngalesi sikhathi, uKristu uza nezingelosi zakhe, futhi isahlulelo sidluliselwa emphefumulweni womuntu.
Umuntu uhlala emhlabeni ukuze afunde umehluko phakathi kokuhle nokubi, futhi ahlanganyele empini engokomoya eyabikezelwa eNcwadini kaGenesise, lapho uNkulunkulu esungula ubutha phakathi kowesifazane nenyoka. Lokhu kufanekisela impi yaphakade phakathi kokuhle nokubi, eqhubekayo emlandweni wezwe nasenhliziyweni yawo wonke umuntu.
Ngakho-ke, isizukulwane ngasinye kumele sibhekane novivinyo lwaso, siqaphele uhlobo lwalo mzabalazo, futhi sikhuthazele kuze kube sekupheleni. Yilabo kuphela abamukela izimfundiso zikaNkulunkulu futhi bazisebenzise abangathola insindiso.
Isigqoko sikakhadinali (i-galero) sasiwuphawu lomsebenzi nesithunzi sikakhadinali. Umbala waso obomvu wawufanekisela igazi, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuzimisela ukulichitha ukuvikela ukholo nokwethembeka kuKristu—ngisho nasekufeleni ukholo.
Kufanelekile ukugcizelela ukuthi umsebenzi oyinhloko kakhadinali ungumeluleki kuPapa, futhi isithunzi sakhe yisikhundla sesonto esihloniphekile. Akuyona izinga lesakramente leMiyalo Engcwele, ngokungafani ne-episcopate, - njengokulandelana kwabaphostoli - okungokwesakramente ngokwemvelo.
Ababhishobhi ngokwesiko benziwa abakhadinali, kodwa kuphela ezimweni ezingavamile, ngemvume kaPapa, lapho abapristi bangaphakanyiswa khona baye esigabeni sikakhadinali.
Emdwebweni woMlayezo weNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke, sibona i-galero ilele phambi kuka-Ida Peerdeman, inophawu "X" ngaphezulu kwayo, njengokungathi isigqoko sinqanyuliwe. Kufanelekile ukukhumbula ukuthi uMlayezo okukhulunywa ngawo wanikezwa u-Ida Peerdeman ngo-1946, kanti ngemva koMkhandlu Wesibili weVatican, ngo-1969, uPapa Paul VI waqeda ukusetshenziswa kwe-galero.
Ngakho-ke singabona ubukhulu besiprofetho kulesi sithombe: isimemezelo sokuqedwa kwesigqoko sikakhadinali—isenzakalo esenzeka eminyakeni engama-23 ngemva kokuba uMlayezo uthunyelwe.
Kodwa-ke, lesi sithombe sinencazelo ejulile, esifanelana nendaba ebanzi yeMilayezo yeNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke. Ukungabikho kwesigqoko sikakhadinali kwembula ukuthi abapristi beSonto abasazimisele ngokudela ukuphila kwabo ngenxa yokholo neSonto, noma ukuhlala bethembekile kuKristu kuze kube sekupheleni—ngisho nasekufeleni ukholo. Esikhundleni sokuzimisela ukuzidela, isimo sengqondo sokunethezeka siyanda, siqala ukweqa umsebenzi ophathiswe abafundi nguKristu.
Ngakho-ke iMilayezo yeNkosikazi Yezizwe Zonke yembula hhayi nje ubumnyama obumboza umhlaba kodwa futhi nobukhulu bawo obumangalisayo obukhona ngaphakathi kweSonto uqobo. Yilesi sici—impi engokomoya eqhubeka ngaphakathi kwezakhiwo zalo—lapho iVangeli likaMarku nalo lidonsela ukunaka khona, libikezela izikhathi zokugcina.
EMlayezweni oxoxwa ngawo, sibona uPapa ezungezwe ababhishobhi abaphikisana negunya lakhe. Phakathi nalesi sigameko, kuvela igama elithi “inhlekelele,” elalihlotshaniswa ngaphambili nesithombe samademoni asondelayo. Lokhu kubonisa ukuthi amandla obumnyama yiwo abangela lesi simo, esifaka—esikhundleni sokuthula okwamenyezelwa nguKristu—esiletha isiphithiphithi, ukudideka, kanye nokuhlukana okuholela ezingxabanweni.
Lonke umlayezo ugcizelela isidingo sokuqapha, okusho ukuqapha ikhaya lomuntu ekufikeni kwesela. Njengoba kuboniswe ngaphambili, ikhaya lomphefumulo womuntu lingumzimba wakhe, kanti amademoni—akhululwa emhlabeni njengezinja ezikhishwe odongeni—yilawa masela, afuna ukweba okuyigugu kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, ukuqapha kuba yinto ebalulekile: umthandazo, ukuphikelela okholweni, kanye nokumelana okuqinile nobubi ukuvimbela umoya omubi ukuthi ungalawuli umzimba futhi uwubeke intando yawo kuwo.
Ababhishobhi abame eduze kukaPapa bavezwa njengalabo abahlulekile ukuhlala beqaphile. Isimo sabo sengqondo sibonisa okuphambene nalokho uKristu akufundisayo. Ngakho-ke umuntu angaphetha ngokuthi umoya omubi ungene “ekhaya” lawo—ngenxa yokuntuleka komthandazo, ukuqapha, kanye nempi yokomoya, futhi ngenxa yalokho, banikela intando yabo ebubini.
Nokho, uPapa, evumela ukucindezela kwabo, wenza izinqumo ezingalungile, njengaleyo ephathelene nokuqedwa kwesigqoko sikakhadinali, esiphethe uphawu olujulile nolungacacile oluhambisana nomsebenzi weSonto likaKristu kanye nokuzimisela kwalo ukuzidela, kuze kube sezingeni lokufela ukholo.
ISonto, elinomsebenzi wokuletha ukuthula emhlabeni ngokulihlanza esonweni, lona ngokwalo liqala ukuwela esonweni futhi libe umthombo wokungahlaliseki. NjengoMzimba kaKristu, kufanele libe ukukhanya komhlaba kanye nesibonakaliso sethemba, hhayi imbangela yehlazo. Lokho okwakufanele kube yindawo yokuhlanzwa ngokomoya kuqala ukuwohloka—futhi lokhu kungenye yezibonakaliso eziphazamisayo kakhulu ngaphambi kokuphela.
Uma iSonto, elimiswe nguKristu njengosawoti womhlaba nokukhanya komhlaba, lilahlekelwa ubumsulwa balo kanye nokubumbana kwangaphakathi, khona-ke akukho lutho oluvimbela isono ekugubungeleni umhlaba ngokuphelele. EmiBhalweni yangaphambili, iSonto lalethwa njengokukhanya okufiphala kancane kancane. Ububi, obungalawulwa, busakazeka ngisho nalapho singakulindele khona.
