Usindiso, Icandelo 6: IArmagedon

[Ukujonga inqaku elidlulileyo kolu ngcelele jonga: Abantwana bakaThixo] 

• Yintoni iArmagedon?
• Ngubani ofayo yiArmagedon?
• Kwenzeka ntoni kwabo bafa eArmagedon?

Kutshanje, bendisidla isidlo kunye nabahlobo bam abalungileyo nababememe esinye isibini ukuba ndibazi. Esi sibini siye sehlelwa zizinto ezininzi ezibuhlungu ebomini, kodwa ndabona ukuba zithuthuzelekile kwithemba lazo lobuKristu. Aba ngabantu abashiye iNkolo eQuquzelelweyo nemithetho eyenzelwe ngabantu yokukhonza uThixo, kwaye bezama ukwenza inkolo yabo ngokungqinelana noMzekelo Wenkulungwane Yokuqala, bezibandakanya necawa encinci, engamanyani nabantu kuloo ndawo. Okulusizi kukuba, babengekakhululeki ngokupheleleyo kunqulo lobuxoki.

Umzekelo, umyeni ebendixelela ukuba uzithatha njani iingoma ezishicilelweyo ukuzisasaza ebantwini esitratweni ngethemba lokuzuzela uKristu. Ucacisile ukuba indlela awayezimisele ngayo kukusindisa aba esihogweni. Ilizwi lakhe lahamba kancinci xa wayezama ukucacisa ukuba uziva ubaluleke kangakanani lomsebenzi. indlela awayeziva ukuba akanakuze enze ngokwaneleyo. Kwakunzima ukuba ungaziva ushukunyiswa ebusweni bobunzulu bokwenene bemvakalelo kunye nokukhathalela intlalontle yabanye. Ngelixa ndaziva ukuba iimvakalelo zakhe zazilahlekile, ndandisachukumiseka.

INkosi yethu yayishukunyiswa yimbandezelo eyayibona isiza kumaYuda omhla wakhe.

“Akusondela eYerusalem, wawubona umzi, wawulilela ⁴²wathi, Akwaba ubusazi nawe lo kwangayo le mini yoxolo! Kodwa ngoku ifihliwe emehlweni akho. (ULuka 19:41, 42 BSB)

Nangona kunjalo, xa bendicinga ngemeko yendoda kunye nobunzima obabuziswa kukukholelwa kwakhe esihogweni ngomsebenzi wakhe wokushumayela, andikwazi ukuzibamba ndizibuze ukuba ingaba le yayiyinjongo yeNkosi yethu? Kuyinyani, uYesu wasithwala isono sehlabathi emagxeni akhe, kodwa asingoYesu. (1 Pe 2: 24) Xa wayesimema ukuba simjoyine, ngaba akazange athi, “Ndiza kunihlaziya… kuba idyokhwe yam yeyobubele nomthwalo wam ukhaphukhaphu.” (Mt 11: 28-30 NWT)

Umthwalo ofundiswa bubuxoki ngesihogo somlilo[i] Ukohlwaya umKristu akunakujongwa ngohlobo lwedyokhwe enomthwalo olula. Ndizamile ukucinga ukuba kunjani ukukholelwa ngokwenyani ukuba umntu uza kutsha kabuhlungu ngonaphakade kanaphakade ngenxa yokuba ndiphoswe lithuba lokushumayela ngoKrestu xa ndinethuba. Khawufane ucinge ngokuya eholideyini kunye nobunzima bakho? Ukuhlala elunxwemeni, uphunga iPiña Colada kunye nokugcakamela ilanga, usazi ukuba ixesha olichitha wena lithetha ukuba omnye umntu uphoswa lusindiso.

Ukunyaniseka, andizange ndikholelwe kwimfundiso eyaziwayo yesihogo njengendawo yokuhlushwa ngonaphakade. Okwangoku, ndiyakwazi ukuvelana nalawo maKristu anyanisekileyo enza njalo, ngenxa yokukhula kwam kwezenkolo. Ndikhuliswe njengomnye wamaNgqina kaYehova, ndafundiswa ukuba abo bangasabeliyo kwisigidimi sam baya kufa ukufa kwesibini (ukufa ngonaphakade) eArmagedon; ukuba ukuba andizenzi zonke iinzame zokubasindisa, bendiya kuba netyala legazi ngokuhambelana noko uThixo wayekuxelele uHezekile. (Bona uHezekile 3: 17-21.) Lo ngumthwalo onzima ukubuthwala ubomi bakho bonke; Ukholelwa ukuba ukuba awuchithi onke amandla akho ukulumkisa abanye ngeArmagedon, baya kufa ngonaphakade kwaye uya kuphenduliswa nguThixo ngokufa kwabo.[ii]

Ke ndinokuvelana ngokwenene nomlingane wam onyanisekileyo ongumntu odle isidlo sangokuhlwa, kuba nam ndiye ndasebenza nzima ubomi bam bonke phantsi kwedyokhwe engenabubele kunye nomthwalo onzima, njengalowo wenziwe ngabaFarisi kwabo babeguqukele ebuYudeni. (Mt 23: 15)

Ngenxa yokuba amazwi kaYesu anokungabi yinyaniso, kufuneka samkele ukuba umthwalo wakhe ulula kwaye idyokhwe yakhe, inobubele. Oko, kuko ngokwako, kuthandabuza imfundiso yeNgqobhoko ngokuphathelele iArmagedon. Kutheni le nto izinto ezinje ngokuthuthunjiswa ngonaphakade kunye nokugwetywa okungunaphakade zibotshelelwe kuko?

“Ndiboniseni Imali!”

Ukubeka ngokulula, iimfundiso ezahlukeneyo zecawa ezijikeleze iArmagedon ziye zaba yinkomo ezinkozo kuLungiselelo lweNkolo. Ewe kunjalo, ihlelo ngalinye kunye nehlelo ngalinye liyahluka kwingxelo yeArmagedon kancinci ukuze kumiselwe uphawu lokunyaniseka. Ibali lihamba ngolu hlobo: “Sukuya kubo, kuba abanayo inyani epheleleyo. Sinenyaniso kwaye kufuneka unamathele kuthi ukunqanda ukugwetywa nguThixo ngeArmagedon. ”

Lingakanani ixesha lakho elixabisekileyo, imali kunye nokuzinikela onganikokunikela ukuthintela iziphumo ezibi kangaka? Ewe kunjalo, uKristu ulisango elisa elusindisweni, kodwa mangaphi amaKristu anokukuqonda ngokwenene ukubaluleka kukaYohane 10: 7? Endaweni yoko, banqula izithixo bengazi, bezinikela ngokupheleleyo kwiimfundiso zabantu, bade benze nezigqibo zobomi nokufa.

Konke oku kwenziwa luloyiko. Uloyiko ngundoqo! Uloyiko lwedabi elizayo apho uThixo eza kuza atshabalalise bonke abangendawo — funda: kuzo zonke ezinye iinkolo. Ewe, uloyiko ligcina irenki kunye nefayile ihambelana kwaye neepokotho zazo zivulekile.

Ukuba siyathenga kule ntengiso, siyayityeshela inyaniso ebalulekileyo kwindalo iphela: UThixo uluthando! (1 Yohane 4: 8) UBawo wethu akasiqhubeli kuye sisebenzisa uloyiko. Kunoko, usitsalela kuye ngothando. Le asiyomnqatha kunye nokunamathela kusindiso, kunye nomnqathe bubomi obungunaphakade kunye nentonga, ukugwetywa okungapheliyo okanye ukufa eArmagedon. Oku kuphakamisa umahluko wokuqala phakathi kwazo zonke iNkolo eziLungelelanisiweyo kunye nobuKristu obunyulu. Indlela yabo Umntu ofuna uThixo, kunye nabo basebenza njengezikhokelo zethu. Umehluko kangakanani umyalezo weBhayibhile, apho sifumana khona UThixo efuna uMntu. (ISi 3:20; Yohane 3:16, 17)

Yahweh okanye Yehova okanye naliphi na igama olikhethayo nguBawo wendalo iphela. UTata ofelwe ngabantwana bakhe wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukubafumana kwakhona. Inkuthazo yakhe kukuthanda uBawo, uthando oluphezulu.

Njengoko sicinga ngeArmagedon, kufuneka siyigcine loo nyaniso engqondweni. Okwangoku, ukubambana kukaThixo nabantu kuyabonakala ngathi yinto kaTata onothando. Ke singayiqonda njani iArmagedon ekukhanyeni kukaYehova enguThixo onothando?

Yintoni iArmagedon

Igama livela kube kanye esiBhalweni, kumbono onikwe umpostile uJohn:

Saza esesithandathu isithunywa sayiphalaza ingqayi yaso emlanjeni omkhulu ongumEfrati; ¹³Ndabona, kuphuma emlonyeni wenamba, nasemlonyeni werhamncwa, nasemlonyeni womprofeti wobuxoki, oomoya abathathu abangcolileyo abanjengamasele. ¹⁴Kuba bangoomoya beedemon, besenza imiqondiso, abaphuma baye kookumkani behlabathi lonke, ukubahlanganisela Idabi ngemini enkulu kaThixo uSomandla. ¹⁵Yabona, ndiza njengesela. Unoyolo lowo uphaphileyo, uzigcinayo iingubo zakhe, ukuze angahambi ze, abonakale ekuhleni. ¹⁶Bazihlanganisela endaweni ekuthiwa ngesiHebhere IArmagedon. ” (ISi 16: 12-16)

IArmagedon ligama lesiNgesi eliguqulela isibizo esifanelekileyo sesiGrike IHarmagedón, abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba, igama elibanzi elibhekisela, “kwintaba yaseMegido” —indawo efanelekileyo apho kwakusiliwa khona amadabi amaninzi abandakanya amaSirayeli. Ingxelo engokwesiprofeto efanayo iyafumaneka kwincwadi kaDaniyeli.

Ngemihla yabo kumkani, uThixo wamazulu uya kumisa ubukumkani obungayi konakala naphakade. Buya kuzicola buzigqibe zonke ezo zikumkani, bona bume ngonaphakade. ⁴⁵njengokuba ubone ilitye liqhephuka entabeni kungengasandla samntu, laza layicola laqhekeza intsimbi, ubhedu, udongwe, isilivere negolide. UThixo omkhulu umazisile ukumkani okuya kubakho emveni koku; Eli phupha liqinisekile, yaye ingcaciso yalo ithembekile. ” (Dan 2:44, 45)

Ulwazi oluthe kratya ngale mfazwe yobuthixo luyatyhilwa ngakumbi kwiSityhilelo isahluko 6 esifundeka ngokuyinxenye:

“Ndabona xa yaliqhekezayo itywina lesithandathu, kwaza kwabakho unyikimo olukhulu; ilanga laba mnyama njengengubo erhwexayo Zenziwe yoboya, kwaye inyanga yonke yaba njengegazi; ¹³ zaza iinkwenkwezi zezulu zawela emhlabeni, njengokuba umkhiwane uphosa amakhiwane awo angavuthwanga xa ugungqiswa ngumoya omkhulu. ¹⁴ Isibhakabhaka sahlukana njengomsongo xa usongwa, kwaye zonke iintaba kunye neziqithi zasuswa kwiindawo zazo.¹⁵ Ke ookumkani bomhlaba kunye nabantu abakhulu kunye ^[a]abaphathi nezityebi nabomeleleyo nawo onke amakhoboka nabantu abakhululekileyo bazifihla emiqolombeni nasemaweni eentaba; ¹⁶ bathi kwiintaba nasemaweni, Siweleni, nisifihle kuYehova ^[b]ubukho baLowo uhleli etroneni, nasengqumbo yeMvana; ¹⁷ kuba ufikile umhla omkhulu wengqumbo yawo; ngubani na ke onako ukuma? (ISi 6: 12-17 I-NASB)

Kwaye kwisahluko 19:

“Ndaza ndabona irhamncwa nookumkani bomhlaba nemikhosi yabo behlanganisene ukwenza imfazwe nalowo uhleli ehasheni kunye nomkhosi wakhe. ²⁰ Irhamncwa labanjwa, kunye nalo kwabanjwa umprofeti wobuxoki owayesenza imiqondiso ^[a]ebusweni bakhe, awathi ngalo wabalahlekisa abo balwamkelayo uphawu lwerhamncwa, nabo baqubuda kuwo umfanekiselo walo; abo babini baphoswa bephila edikeni lomlilo elivutha kunye ^[b]isulfure. ²¹ Abaseleyo babulawa ngekrele eliphuma emlonyeni walowo uhleli ehasheni, zathi zonke iintaka zahlutha yinyama yabo. (ISi 19: 19-21 I-NASB)

Njengoko sibona ngokufunda le mibono yesiprofeto, bazaliswe lulwimi olungumfuziselo: irhamncwa, umprofeti wobuxoki, umfanekiso omkhulu owenziwe ngentsimbi eyahlukileyo, amabinzana afana namasele, iinkwenkwezi eziwa esibhakabhakeni.[iii]  Nangona kunjalo, singaqaphela ukuba ezinye izinto ziyinyani: umzekelo, uThixo ulwa ngokoqobo nookumkani bokwenyani bomhlaba.

Ukufihla iNyaniso ekubonakaleni

Kutheni kukho konke ukufuzisela?

Umthombo weSityhilelo nguYesu Krestu. (Re 1: 1) IliLizwi likaThixo, ke ngoko oko sikufundayo kwiZibhalo zangaphambi kobuKristu (zesiHebhere) kuza ngaye. (Yohane 1: 1; ISi 19:13)

UYesu wasebenzisa imizekeliso — amabali okomfuziselo — ukufihla inyaniso kwabo babengafanele kuyazi. UMateyu usixelela:

Beza abafundi kuYesu, bambuza, Kungani na ukuba uthethe ebantwini ngemizekeliso?
¹¹Uphendule ke wathi, Unikwe ukwazi iimfihlelo zobukumkani bamazulu, babe ke bona bengakuphiwanga. ¹²Onako ke uya kunikwa, abe nako ngokugqithiseleyo; Ongenako ke, uya kuhluthwa kwanoko anako. Yiyo le nto ndithetha nabo ngemizekeliso.

'Nangona bebona, ababoni;
nokuba beve, abeva, bengaqondi. '”
(Mt 13: 10-13 BSB)

Kuyamangalisa ukuba uThixo azifihle izinto ngokucacileyo. Wonke umntu unayo iBhayibhile, kodwa bambalwa kuphela abayiqondayo. Isizathu soku kunokwenzeka kukuba uMoya kaThixo uyafuneka ukuze uqonde iLizwi lakhe.

Ngelixa oko kusebenza ekuqondeni imizekeliso kaYesu, ikwasebenza nasekuqondeni isiprofeto. Nangona kunjalo, kukho umahluko. Ezinye iziprofeto zinokuqondwa kuphela ngexesha elifanelekileyo likaThixo. Nokuba umntu othandwa njengoDaniel wayegcinwe ekuqondeni inzaliseko yeziprofeto awayenelungelo lokuzibona emibonweni nasemaphupheni.

“Ndiyivile into ayithethileyo, kodwa andiyiqondi ukuba uthetha ukuthini. Ndathi, Howya kuphelela phi na, nkosi yam? ⁹Wathi, Khawuye ke, Daniyeli; kuba le nto ndiyithethileyo ifihlakele, itywinwe kude kube lixesha lokuphela. (Dan 12: 8, 9 NLT)

Umnqweno wokuThobeka

Ngenxa yako konke oku, masikhumbule ukuba njengoko singena nzulu kuzo zonke iinkalo zosindiso lwethu, siza kuqwalasela inani leZibhalo kwimibono yokomfuziselo eyanikwa uYohane kwiSityhilelo. Ngelixa sinokuthi sikwazi ukufezekisa ukucaca kwezinye iingongoma, siya kuba singena kwindawo yokuqikelela kwabanye. Kubalulekile ukwahlula phakathi kwezi zinto zimbini, kwaye ungavumeli ikratshi lisithwale. Kukho iinyaniso zebhayibhile-iinyaniso esinokuqiniseka ngazo -kodwa kukwakho izigqibo apho ukuqiniseka okuqinisekileyo kungafumaneki kweli xesha. Nangona kunjalo, imigaqo ethile iya kuqhubeka isikhokela. Umzekelo, sinokuqiniseka ukuba "uThixo uluthando". Olu luphawu oluphambili okanye umgangatho kaJahweh okhokela konke akwenzayo. Kuya kufuneka ke ibhekise kuyo nayiphi na into esiyiqwalaselayo. Siye safumanisa ukuba umbuzo wosindiso unento yokwenza nosapho; Ngokukodwa, ukubuyiselwa koLuntu kusapho lukaThixo. Le nyani iya kuhlala isikhokela. UBawo wethu onothando akabathwalisi umthwalo abantwana bakhe.

Enye into enokusiphazamisa ekuqondeni kwethu kukungabi namonde. Sifuna ukuphela kokubandezeleka okubi kangangokuba siza kukhawulezisa ezingqondweni zethu. Le yinto enomdla eqondakalayo, kodwa inokusilahlekisa ngokulula. NjengabaPostile bakudala, siyabuza: "Nkosi, uyabubuyisela na ubukumkani bakwaSirayeli ngeli xesha." (IZenzo 1: 6)

Kukangaphi sizifaka engxakini xa sizama ukumisela “nini” isiprofeto. Kodwa kuthekani ukuba iArmagedon ayisosiphelo, kodwa linyathelo nje eliqhubekayo lenkqubela eluntwini?

Imfazwe yoSuku oluKhulu lukaThixo, uSomandla

Phinda ufunde iziqendu ezimalunga neArmagedon ukusuka kwiSityhilelo nakuDaniel ezikhankanywe apha ngasentla. Yenza oku ngokungathi awuzange ufunde nantoni na eBhayibhileni ngaphambili, awuzange uthethe nomKristu ngaphambili, kwaye awuzange uve igama elithi "Armagedon" ngaphambili. Ndiyazi ukuba ayinakwenzeka loo nto, kodwa zama.

Nje ukuba ugqibile ukufunda ezo zicatshulwa, ngaba awuvumi ukuba into echazwe apho kukho imfazwe phakathi kwamaqela amabini? Kwelinye icala, unoThixo, kwaye kwelinye, ookumkani okanye oorhulumente bomhlaba, zichanekile? Ngoku, kulwazi lwakho lwembali, yintoni eyona njongo iphambili yemfazwe? Ngaba izizwe ziyalwa namanye amazwe ngeenjongo zokutshabalalisa bonke abahlali? Umzekelo, xa iJamani yahlasela amazwe aseYurophu ngeMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi, ngaba injongo yayo yayikukususa bonke ubomi babantu kuloo mimandla? Hayi, inyani kukuba ilizwe elinye lingena kwelinye ukuze lisuse urhulumente okhoyo kwaye limisele ulawulo lwalo kubemi.

Ngaba masicinge ukuba u-Yehova umisela ubukumkani, amise uNyana wakhe njengokumkani, ongeze abantwana abangabantu abathembekileyo ukuba balawule noYesu eBukumkanini, emva koko sibaxelele ukuba isenzo sabo sokuqala solawulo kukwenza intshabalalo yomhlaba wonke? Ngaba kunengqondo ukuba kumiselwe urhulumente aze ke abulale bonke abantu? (IMi 14:28)

Ukwenza olo qikelelo, ngaba asigqithi koko kubhaliweyo? Ezi ndinyana azithethi ngokutshatyalaliswa kobuntu. Bathetha ngokupheliswa kolawulo lomntu.

Injongo yalo rhulumente uphantsi kukaKristu kukwandisa ithuba lokuxolelaniswa noThixo kubo bonke abantu. Ukwenza oku, kufuneka inikeze indawo elawulwa nguThixo apho umntu ngamnye anokusebenzisa inkululeko engakhethwanga yokuzikhethela. Ayinakukwenza oko ukuba kusekho ulawulo lomntu lwalo naluphi na uhlobo, nokuba ngumgaqo wepolitiki, umthetho wezenkolo, okanye lowo usetyenziswa ngamaziko, okanye unyanzeliswa zizinyanzelo zenkcubeko.

Ngaba Ukhona Osindiswa eArmagedon?

UMateyu 24: 29-31 uchaza ezinye zeziganeko ezandulela iArmagedon, ngakumbi umqondiso wokubuya kukaKristu. IArmagedon ayikhankanywa, kodwa into yokugqibela uYesu athetha ngayo malunga nokubuya kwakhe kukuhlanganiswa kwabalandeli bakhe abathanjisiweyo ukuba babe kunye naye.

Wozithuma izithunywa zakhe zasemazulwini, zinexilongo elisandi sikhulu, zihlanganisele ndawonye abanyulwa bakhe, baphume kumacala omane omoya, kuthabathela esiphelweni sezulu, kude kuse kwesinye isiphelo salo. (Mt 24: 31 BSB)

Kukho ingxelo efanayo kwisityhilelo esibandakanya iingelosi, imimoya emine kunye nabanyuliweyo okanye abakhethiweyo.

“Emva koko ndabona iingelosi ezine zimi kwiimbombo zone zomhlaba, zibambe imimoya yayo yomine ukuze kungabikho moya uvuthuza emhlabeni okanye elwandle okanye nakuwuphi na umthi. ²Ndabona enye ingelosi inyuka ivela empumalanga, inetywina loThixo ophilayo. Wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu kwiingelosi ezine ezazinikwe amandla okonakalisa umhlaba nolwandle. ³"Sanukuwonakalisa umhlaba okanye ulwandle okanye imithi de siwatywinele amabunzi abakhonzi boThixo wethu." (ISi 7: 1-3 BSB)

Ukusuka koku singabona ukuba abo bangabantwana bakaThixo abanyulwe ukuba balawule noKristu eBukumkanini bamazulu, bayakususwa kwindawo yangaphambi kwemfazwe ayilwelayo uKristu nookumkani bomhlaba. Oku kuhambelana nemodeli engaguquguqukiyo ebekwe nguThixo xa ezisa intshabalalo kwabangendawo. Abakhonzi abathembekileyo abasibhozo babekelwa bucala, bavalelwa ngesandla sikaThixo kwiTyeya ngaphambi kokuba amanzi omkhukula akhululwe ngomhla kaNowa. ULote nosapho lwakhe bakhutshelwa ngaphandle kwemimandla ngaphambi kweSodom, iGomora, kunye nezixeko ezikufutshane zatshiswa. AmaKristu ahlala eJerusalem ngenkulungwane yokuqala anikwa indlela yokubaleka esixekweni, ebalekela kude ezintabeni, ngaphambi kokuba umkhosi wamaRoma ubuye uzokuhlasela isixeko emhlabeni.

Isandi sexilongo esikhankanywe kuMateyu 24: 31 kukwathethwa ngaso kwindima enxulumene nayo kwi-1 Tesalonika:

". . Ke kaloku, andithandi ukuba ningazi, bazalwana, mayela nabalele ukufa; ukuze ningabi buhlungu njengabanye abangenathemba. 14 Kuba xa sikholwa ukuba uYesu wafa, wabuya wavuka, kwangokunjalo naye uThixo woza nabo abalele ukufa ngaye uYesu, kunye naye. 15 Kuba oku sikutsho kuni ngelizwi likaYehova, ukuba thina baphilayo basindayo baye ebukhweni beNkosi asiyi kubakhokela nganto abo balele ekufeni; 16 Ngokuba iNkosi ngokwayo iya kuhla emazulwini inendanduluko, inelizwi lesiphatha-zingelosi, inexilongo likaThixo, baze abo bafe bemanyene noKristu bavuke kuqala. 17 Emva koko thina baphilayo basaphilayo, kunye nabo, baya kuthatyathelwa emafini, size sihlangabeze iNkosi esibhakabhakeni; kwaye njalo siya kuba neNkosi. 18 Ngenxa yoko hlalani nithuthuzelana ngala mazwi. ” (1Te 4: 13-18)

Ke abantwana bakaThixo abalele ekufeni nabo basaphila ekubuyeni kukaKristu basindisiwe. Banyuswa ukuba bayokuhlala noYesu. Ukuchaneka, abasindiswa eArmagedon, kodwa ngaphambi nje kokuba yenzeke.

Ngaba Ukhona Umntu Osindiswayo eArmagedon?

Impendulo nguEwe. Bonke abo bangengobantwana bakaThixo abasindiswanga kwiArmagedon okanye ngaphambi kwayo. Nangona kunjalo, ndiyonwaba ekubhaleni oku, kuba ukusabela kwangoko ikakhulu ngenxa yokukhuliswa ngokwenkolo yethu kukuba ukungasindiswa eArmagedon yenye indlela yokuthetha ukugwetywa eArmagedon. Akunjalo. Kuba iArmagedon ayiloxesha lokuba uKrestu agwebe wonke umntu emhlabeni-amadoda, abafazi, abantwana kunye neentsana-akukho namnye oya kusindiswa ngelo xesha, kodwa akukho namnye ogwetywayo. Usindiso lomntu lwenzeka emva kweArmagedon. Linqanaba nje — njengenqanaba lenkqubo eya eluntwini ekugqibeleni usindiso.

Umzekelo, uYahweh wazitshabalalisa izixeko zaseSodom naseGomora, ukanti uYesu ubonakalisa ukuba ngeba zisindisiwe ukuba umntu onjengaye uye kushumayela kuzo.

“Nawe Kapernahum, uphakanyiselweyo ezulwini. Uya kuhlela kwelabafileyo; ngokuba imisebenzi yamandla eyenzeke kuwe, ukuba yayenzeke eSodom, inge ihleli kwada kwaba namhla. 24 Ngenxa yoko ndithi kuni, Koba nokunyamezeleka okomhlaba waseSodom ngomhla woMgwebo kunani. ” (Mt 11: 23, 24)

U-Yehova ngewayengatshintshile okusingqongileyo ukuze ezo zixeko zisindiswe kwintshabalalo, kodwa wakhetha ukungayenzi loo nto. (Ngokucacileyo, indlela awenza ngayo ikhokelele kulunge olukhulu- kuYohane 17: 3.) Ukanti, uThixo akabaniki themba lobomi obungunaphakade, kanye njengokuba noYesu esitsho. Ngaphantsi kolawulo lukaKristu, baya kubuya kwaye babe nethuba lokuguquka kwimisebenzi yabo.

Kulula ukubhideka kukusetyenziswa gwenxa “kosindisiweyo”. ULote “wasindiswa” ekutshatyalalisweni kwezo zixeko, kodwa sekunjalo wafa. Abemi bezo zixeko abazange 'basindiswe' ekufeni, kodwa baya kuvuswa. Ukugcina umntu kwisakhiwo esivuthayo akufani nosindiso lwanaphakade esithetha ngalo apha.

Kuba uThixo wababulala abo baseSodom naseGomora, kodwa azakubabuyisela ebomini, kukho isizathu sokukholelwa ukuba nabo babulewe emfazweni kaThixo ekuthiwa yiArmagedon baya kuvuswa. Nangona kunjalo, ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba sikho isizathu sokukholelwa ukuba uKristu uza kubulala wonke umntu emhlabeni yiArmagedon, emva koko abavuse kamva? Njengoko besitshilo ngaphambili, singena kwindawo yokuqikelela. Nangona kunjalo, kunokwenzeka ukuba kufunyanwe okuthile kwiLizwi likaThixo okunokujonga kwelinye icala ukuya kwelinye.

Yintoni iArmagedon

KuMateyu isahluko 24 uYesu uthetha ngokubuya kwakhe-phakathi kwezinye izinto. Uthi uya kuza njengesela; ukuba iyakuba lixesha esingalilindelanga. Ukuqhuba inqaku lakhe, usebenzisa umzekelo wembali:

“Kuba ngemihla eyandulela unogumbe, abantu babesidla kwaye besela, betshata yaye betshata, de kwayimini awangena ngayo emkhombeni uNowa; babengazi kwanto ngokwenzekayo, wada wafika unogumbe, wabakhukulisa bonke. Kuya kuba njalo nokufika koNyana woMntu. (Mt 24: 38, 39)

Ingozi kumfundi weBhayibhile kukwenza izifaniso ezininzi. UYesu akathethi ukuba kukho ukungqinelana komntu nomnye phakathi kwawo onke amacandelo onogumbe kunye nokubuya kwakhe. Uthetha nje ukuba njengokuba abantu belo xesha bengazange bakuqonde ukuphela kwabo, ngokunjalo abo baphilayo xa ebuyayo abayi kukubona kusiza. Yilapho isifaniso siphela khona.

Umkhukula yayingengomlo phakathi kookumkani bomhlaba noThixo. Kwakungokupheliswa koluntu. Ngapha koko, uThixo wathembisa ukuba akasayi kuphinda ayenze kwakhona.

Uthe ke uNdikhoyo akukuva ukuba wayenevumba elithandekayo, uNdikhoyo wathi entliziyweni yakhe: “Andisayi kuphinda ndiwuqalekise umhlaba ngenxa yomntu, kuba injongo yentliziyo yomntu imbi kwasebutsheni bakhe. Akunjalo Ndiya kuphinda ndibethe yonke into ephilayo njengoko ndenzile. ”(Ge 8: 21)

Ndiwamisela umnqophiso wam nani, wokuba akusayi kuphinda kunqunyulwe yonke inyama ngamanzi onogumbe, kungabi sabakho nogumbe wokutshabalalisa umhlaba....Kwaye amanzi akasayi kuphinda abe ngunogumbe wokonakalisa yonke inyama.”(Ge 9: 10-15)

Ngaba uYehova udlala imidlalo yamagama apha? Ngaba umisela umda kwindlela yokuphelisa uluntu kwihlabathi liphela? Ingaba uthi, “Sukuba nexhala, kwixesha elizayo xa nditshabalalisa ihlabathi loLuntu andizukusebenzisa manzi?” Ayivakali ngokwenyani njengoThixo esimaziyo. Ngaba ikhona enye intsingiselo kumnqophiso wakhe wesithembiso kuNowa? Ewe, kwaye siyayibona kwincwadi kaDaniel.

“Emva kweeveki ezingamashumi amathandathu anesibini, uya kunqunyulwa umthanjiswa angabinanto. Umzi nengcwele uya kutshatyalaliswa ngabantu benganga eya kuza; Ukuphela kwayo kuya kuza ngomkhukula, kude kube sisiphelo semfazwe. Ukuphanziswa kumisiwe. ”(Daniyeli 9:26)

Oku kuthetha intshabalalo ye Yerusalem eyaya ivela ezandleni zomkhosi wase Roma ngo 70 CE Kwakungekho mkhukula ngoko; akukho manzi anamandla. Ukanti, uThixo akanakuxoka. Ke wayethetha ukuthini xa wayesithi “ukuphela kwayo kuya kuza ngomkhukula”?

Kuyabonakala ukuba, wayethetha ngesimo samanzi omkhukula. Bátshayela yonke into emendweni wabo; Nokuba amatye amakhulu anobunzima beetoni ezininzi asiwe kude nendawo avela kuyo. Amatye awayesakha itempile ayenobunzima obuziitoni ezininzi, ukanti umkhukula wamajoni aseRoma wawungashiyelani. (Mt 24: 2)

Ukusuka koku sinokugqiba ukuba uYahweh wayethembisa ukuba angaze abatshabalalise bonke ubomi njengoko wenzayo ngomhla kaNowa. Ukuba silungile kuloo nto, umbono weArmagedon njengokutshatyalaliswa ngokupheleleyo kwabo bonke ubomi iya kuba kukwaphula eso sithembiso. Ukusuka koku sinokuqonda ukuba intshabalalo yomkhukula ayinakuphindwa kwaye ngenxa yoko ayinakusebenza njengomfuziselo weArmagedon.

Siwelile sivela kwinto eyaziwayo saya kwindawo yokuqiqa okutsala. Ewe, iArmagedon iya kubandakanya idabi eliphakathi kukaYesu nemikhosi yakhe besoyisa oorhulumente bomhlaba. Inyaniso. Nangona kunjalo, iya kufikelela phi loo ntshabalalo? Ngaba baya kubakho abasindayo? Ubunzima bobungqina bubonakala bukhomba kwelo cala, kodwa ngaphandle kwengcaciso ecacileyo neyahlukileyo kwiZibhalo, asinakuthetha ngokuqinisekileyo.

Ukufa kwesiBini

"Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo abanye babo babulawa eArmagedon abazukuvuka", abanye basenokuthi. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, bayafa kuba besilwa noYesu. ”

Enye yeendlela zokuyijonga, kodwa ngaba sinikezela kwiingcinga zabantu? Ngaba siyawisa isigwebo? Ewe, ukuthi bonke abo bafa baya kuvuswa kungabonwa njengogweba ngokunjalo. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, umnyango wokugweba ujika zombini. Kuyavunywa, asinakuthetha ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa inye into ekufuneka ikhunjulwe: Ibhayibhile iyathetha ngokuFa kwesiBini, kwaye siyaqonda ukuba imele ukufa kokugqibela ekungekho kubuya kuko. (ISi 2:11; 20: 6, 14; 21: 8) Njengoko ubona, zonke ezi ngxelo zikwiSityhilelo. Le ncwadi ikwabhekisa kuKufa kwesibini isebenzisa isikweko sedike lomlilo. (ISi 20:10, 14, 15; 21: 8) UYesu wasebenzisa isikweko esahlukileyo xa wayebhekisela ekufeni kwesibini. Wathetha ngeGehena, indawo apho kutshiswa khona inkunkuma nalapho baphoswa khona abo bacinga ukuba abanakukwazi ukuhlangulwa. (Mat 5: 22, 29, 30; 10: 28; 18: 9; 23: 15, 33; Mr 9: 43, 44, 47; Luk 12: 5). (Yakobi 3: 6)

Inye kuphela into esiyiqapheleyo emva kokufunda zonke ezi ndawo kukuba uninzi alunxibelelananga nexesha. Apropos kwingxoxo yethu, akukho namnye obonisa ukuba abantu baya kwiLake yoMlilo, okanye bafe ngokuFa kweSibini, eArmagedon.

Ukuqokelela imithwalo yethu

Masibuyele kwimithwalo yethu yeemfundiso. Mhlawumbi kukho into apho esinokuyilahla khona ngoku.

Ngaba sihamba nembono yokuba iArmagedon lixesha lomgwebo wokugqibela? Ngokucacileyo izikumkani zomhlaba ziya kugwetywa zifunyanwe zisilela? Kodwa akukho ndawo apho iBhayibhile ithetha ngeArmagedon njengosuku lokugwetywa kwabo bonke abantu abasemhlabeni, abafileyo okanye abaphilayo? Sifunde nje ukuba abantu baseSodom baya kubuya ngomhla womgwebo. Ibhayibhile ayithethi ngabafileyo abuyela ebomini ngaphambi okanye ngeArmagedon, kodwa kuphela emva kokuba kudlulile. Ke ayinakuba lixesha lomgwebo kubo bonke abantu. Ngale ndlela, iZenzo 10:42 zithetha ngoYesu njengalowo ugweba abaphilayo nabafileyo. Le nkqubo yinxalenye yokusebenzisa kwakhe igunya lobukumkani ngexesha lolawulo lweminyaka eliwaka.

Ngubani ozama ukusixelela ukuba iArmagedon ngumgwebo wokugqibela woluntu? Ngubani osoyikisayo ngamabali enza-okanye-obomi obungunaphakade okanye ukufa okungunaphakade (okanye ukugwetywa) eArmagedon? Landela imali. Ngubani ozuzayo? Inkolo eQuquzelelweyo inomdla ekuqinisekiseni ukuba samkela ukuba isiphelo siya kufika njengawe ngalo lonke ixesha kwaye ithemba lethu ekuphela kwalo kukunamathela kubo. Ngenxa yokungabikho kobungqina obuqinileyo beBhayibhile ukuxhasa eli bango, kufuneka silumke kakhulu xa sibamamele abanjalo.

Kuyinyaniso ukuba isiphelo singafika nanini na. Nokuba kukuphela kweli hlabathi, okanye kukuphela kobomi bethu kweli hlabathi, akunamsebenzi kangako. Nokuba yeyiphi indlela, kufuneka senze ixesha eliseleyo libale into ethile. Kodwa umbuzo esifanele sizibuze wona ngulo, "Yintoni etafileni?" Inkolo elungelelanisiweyo ingasenza sikholelwe ukuba xa kufika iArmagedon, ekuphela kwento onokukhetha kuyo kukufa okungunaphakade okanye ubomi obungunaphakade. Kuyinyani ukuba isithembiso sobomi obungunaphakade ngoku sisetafileni. Yonke into kwiZibhalo zamaKristu iyathetha ngaloo nto. Nangona kunjalo, ngaba inye kuphela into onokuyenza endaweni yoko? Ngaba leyo yenye indlela yokufa ngonaphakade? Ngoku, ngeli xesha lixesha, ngaba sijamelene nokukhetha kwezi zimbini? Ukuba kunjalo, yeyiphi inqaku lokumisela ulawulo loBukumkani bookumkani abangababingeleli?

Kuyaphawuleka ukuba xa wanikwa ithuba lokunikela ubungqina phambi kwabasemagunyeni abangakholwayo bemihla yakhe ngalo mbandela, umpostile uPawulos akazange athethe ngezi ziphumo zibini: ubomi nokufa. Endaweni wathetha ngobomi nobomi.

“Ndiyavuma kuni, nangona kunjalo, ukuba ndinqula uThixo woobawo bethu ngokweNdlela, abayibiza ngokuba lihlelo. Ndiyakholelwa kuyo yonke into ebekwe ngumthetho kwaye ibhalwe kubaProfeti, ¹⁵kwaye ndinethemba elifanayo kuThixo ukuba nabo bayalixabisa, ukuba kuza kubakho uvuko lwamalungisa nabangendawo. ¹⁶Ngeli themba, ndizama ukuhlala ndinesazela esicocekileyo phambi koThixo nasebantwini. ” (IZenzo 24: 14-16 BSB)

Uvuko ezimbini! Ngokucacileyo ziyahluka, kodwa ngokwenkcazo, omabini la maqela ayaphakama, kuba yile nto ithethwa ligama "uvuko". Nangona kunjalo, ubomi ekuvuswa kwiqela ngalinye bohlukile. Kanjani? Oko kuya kuba ngumxholo wenqaku lethu elilandelayo.
