Ukubeka uMateyu 24 ebhedini

Kuya kuba nzima ukufumana enye indinyana yeBhayibhile ebingaqondwa kakuhle, isetyenziswe kakubi kuMateyu 24: 3-31.

Ukutyhubela iinkulungwane, ezi ndinyana bezisetyenziselwa ukweyisela abakholwayo ukuba siyakwazi ukubona imihla yokugqibela kwaye sazi ngemiqondiso yokuba iNkosi ikufuphi. Ukubonisa ukuba akunjalo, sibhale inani elininzi lamanqaku malunga nemiba eyahlukeneyo yesi siprofeto kwindawo yethu yodade, Iipuzzle zeBeroean - OovimbaUkuvavanya intsingiselo ye "Esi sizukulwana" (vs. 34), ukumisela Ngubani "yena" kwi-33Ukophula umbuzo onamacandelo amathathu vs. 3, ubonakalisa ukuba ebizwa ngokuba yimiqondiso Iivesi 4-14 ngayo nantoni na, kwaye kuhlolwa intsingiselo ye iivesi 23 thru 28. Nangona kunjalo, akukaze kubekho nelinye inqaku elibanzi elizamile ukuyizisa kunye. Siyathemba ukuba eli nqaku liza kuyizalisa le mfuno.

Ngaba sinelungelo lokwazi?

Umcimbi wokuqala ekufuneka sijongile ngowethu, ukulangazelela kwendalo ukubona uKrestu ebuya. Ayisiyonto intsha le. Nabafundi bakhe abasenyongweni baziva ngale ndlela nangomhla wokunyuka kwakhe, babuza: "Nkosi, ububuyisela ngeli xesha na ubukumkani kuSirayeli?" (IZenzo 1: 6)[i]  Nangona kunjalo, wachaza ukuba olo lwazi, ukuyibeka ngokutyibilikayo, akukho namnye kwishishini lethu:

“Wathi kubo: 'Asikokwenu ukwazi amaxesha okanye amaxesha anikwe nguBawo kulawulo lwawo'' (IZe 1: 7)

Eli yayingelo xesha kuphela awazisa ngalo ukuba olo lwazi lwalungekho mida:

"Akukho bani uwaziyo ngalo mhla nelo lixa, nazingelosi zamazulu, noNyana, nguBawo yedwa." (Mt 24: 36)

"Hlalani nilindile, ke, ngenxa yokuba aniwazi umhla eza ngawo iNkosi yenu." (Mt 24: 42)

Ngenxa yoku nani hlalani nilungile, kuba uNyana woMntu uyeza ngelixa eningacingi ukuba lilo. ”(Mt 24: 44)

Qaphela ukuba ezi zicatshulwa zithathu zivela kwisahluko 24 sikaMateyu; Kwaesi sahluko siqulathe oko kuthethwa ngabantu abaninzi yimiqondiso yokubonisa ukuba uKrestu ukufuphi. Makhe siqiqe ngokungahambelani koku okomzuzwana. Ngaba iNkosi yethu ingasixelela-hayi kube kanye, hayi kabini, kodwa kathathu-ukuba asinokwazi ukuba iza nini; ukuba naye wayengazi ukuba ubuya nini; ukuba uza kubuya ngexesha xa ubuncinci besiyilindele; Ngalo lonke elixesha usixelela ngendlela yokufumana eyona nto singayaziyo? Oko kuvakala ngokungathi sisiseko somzobo weMonty Python kunesifundo seBhayibhile esandi.

Emva koko sinobungqina bembali. Ukutolika uMateyu 24: 3-31 njengendlela yokuqikelela ukubuya kukaKristu kuye kwakhokelela ekuphoxekeni, ekuphoxekeni nasekuphukelweni ngumkholo wezigidi de kube ngumhla wethu. Ngaba uYesu angasithumela umyalezo oxubekileyo? Ngaba sikhona isiprofeto sokusilela kwakhe ukuzaliseka, amatyeli amaninzi, ngaphambi kokuba ekugqibeleni sizaliseke? Kuba yile nto kanye ekufuneka siyivume ukuba yenzekile ukuba siza kuqhubeka nokukholelwa ukuba amazwi akhe akuMateyu 24: 3-31 kufanele ukuba abe yimiqondiso yokuba sikwimihla yokugqibela kwaye sele eza kubuya.

Inyani yile yokuba thina maKristu siye sanyeliswa kukulangazelela kwethu ukwazi okungaziwayo; kwaye ngokwenza njalo, sifunde kumazwi kaYesu oko engekho.

Ndikhule ndikholelwa ukuba uMateyu 24: 3-31 uthetha ngemiqondiso ebonisa ukuba sikwimihla yokugqibela. Ndavumela ubomi bam ukuba bubunjwe yile nkolelo. Ndaziva ngathi ndiyinxalenye yeqela elikhethekileyo elaziyo izinto ezifihlakeleyo kwihlabathi liphela. Naxa umhla wokufika kukaKrestu uqhubeka nokubuyela umva-njengoko kudlula ishumi ngalinye leminyaka — ndiye ndaluthethelela utshintsho olunje "ngokukhanya okutsha" okuvezwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Okokugqibela, phakathi kwiminyaka yoo-1990, xa inkolelo yam yayisele ifikelele kwinqanaba lokuqhekeka, ndafumana isiqabu xa uhlobo lwam lobuKrestu lwalahla lonke ubalo.[ii]  Nangona kunjalo, kwakungekho kude kube yi-2010, xa imfundiso eyakhiweyo kunye nengasekelwanga kwizibhalo ezibini ezathi zaziswa, endathi ekugqibeleni ndaqala ukuyibona imfuneko yokuzihlolisisa iZibhalo.

Enye yezinto endazifumanisayo yindlela yokusebenza yokufunda iBhayibhile eyaziwa ngokuba iimviwo. Ndafunda kancinci ukuyeka ukukhetha kunye nokuvumela ukuba iBhayibhile izitolike. Ngoku kunokubetha abanye njengokuhlekisa ukuthetha ngento engaphiliyo, njengencwadi, njengokwazi ukuzitolika. Ndingavuma ukuba besithetha ngayo nayiphi na enye incwadi, kodwa iBhayibhile iliLizwi likaThixo, kwaye ayiphili, kodwa iyaphila.

"Kuba iliZwi likaThixo liphilile, linamandla kwaye libukhali kunekrele elintlangothi-mbini, lihlaba laze lahlule umphefumlo kunye nomoya, nokudibana kumongo, kwaye liyakwazi ukubona iingcinga kunye neentliziyo zentliziyo. ¹³ Akukho sidalwa singabonakaliyo emehlweni akhe, kodwa zonke izinto zize kwaye zibonakalalisiwe emehlweni alowo simele siphendule kuye. ”(U4: 12, 13)

Ngaba ezi ndinyana zithetha ngeLizwi likaThixo yiBhayibhile, okanye ngoYesu Kristu? Ewe! Umgca phakathi kwezi zimbini awufakwanga. Umoya kaKristu uyasikhokela. Lo moya wawukho nangaphambi kokuba uYesu eze emhlabeni, kuba uYesu wayekade ekhona njengeLizwi likaThixo. (Yoh.1: 1; ISityhi.19: 13)

Malunga nolu sindiso, Abaprofeti, owaxela kwangaphambili ubabalo oluza kuza kuwe, wakhangela, walwenza uphando, ¹¹ukuzama ukumisela ixesha kunye nesicwangciso sexesha Umoya kaKristu kubo wayethetha xa wayexela kwangaphambili ngokubandezeleka kukaKristu kunye nobungangamsha obuza kulandelwa. (I-1 Peter 1: 10, 11 BSB)[iii]

Ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaYesu, "umoya kaKristu" wawukho kubaprofeti bakudala, kwaye ikithi ukuba siyayithandazela kwaye sizivavanye iZibhalo ngokuthobeka kodwa ngaphandle kwe-ajenda esekwe kwiingcinga esele zikho okanye kwiimfundiso zabantu. Le ndlela yokufunda ibandakanya okungaphezulu kokufunda kunye nokujonga umxholo opheleleyo wenqaku. Ikwaqwalasela iimeko zembali kunye nembono yabalinganiswa abathathe inxaxheba kwingxoxo yokuqala. Kodwa konke oko akusebenzi ngaphandle kokuba sizivulele ngokwethu ukukhokelwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele. Le ayisiyo eyabantu abambalwa abakhethiweyo, kodwa ngawo onke amaKristu azithoba ngokuzithandela kuKristu. (Awunakho ukuzithoba kuYesu nakubantu. Awunakho ukukhonza iinkosi ezimbini.) Oku kugqitha ngaphaya kophando olulula, lwezifundo. Lo moya usenza ukuba singqine ngeNkosi yethu. Akukho nto sinokuyenza ngaphandle kokuthetha ngoko kutyhilwa ngumoya kuthi.

"Kwaye wongeze," La ngamazwi ayinyani avela kuThixo. Ndawa ezinyaweni zakhe, ukuba ndimnqule. Kodwa wathi kum, “Ungayenzi loo nto! Ndingumkhonzi kunye nawe nabazalwana bakho abathembele kubungqina bukaYesu. Nqula uThixo! Kuba ubungqina bukaYesu bungumoya wesiprofetho. (ISi 19: 9, 10 BSB)[iv]

Umbuzo onengxaki

Ngale nto engqondweni, ingxoxo yethu iqala kwivesi 3 kaMateyu 24. Apha abafundi babuza umbuzo onamacandelo amathathu.

“Xa wayehleli kwiNtaba yemiNquma, abafundi beza kuye ngasese, besithi:“ Sixelele, ziya kubakho nini na ezo zinto, kwaye uya kuba yintoni na umqondiso wobukho bakho nowokupheliswa kwenkqubo yezinto? ” (Mt 24: 3)

Kutheni behleli kwiNtaba yemiNquma? Luthini ulandelelwano lweziganeko ezikhokelela kulo mbuzo? Ngokuqinisekileyo andizange ndibuzwe ngaphandle kweblue.

UYesu wayesandula ukuchitha iintsuku ezine zokugqibela eshumayela etempileni. Ekuhambeni kwakhe kokugqibela, wayeza kugweba isixeko kunye netempile, ebenza baphendule ngenxa yegazi elilungileyo elachitheka lisiya ku-Abheli. (Mt 23: 33-39) Wakwenza kwacaca gca ukuba abo wayethetha nabo yayingabo ababeza kuhlawulela izono zangaphambili nezangoku.

Inene ndithi kuwe, zonke ezi zinto iya kuza Esi sizukulwana. ”(Mt 23: 36)

Bakuba bemkile etempileni, abafundi bakhe, mhlawumbi bephazanyiswa ngamazwi akhe (Kuba yintoni umJuda awayengasithandi isixeko kunye netempile yaso, ikratshi likaSirayeli wonke), bamkhombisa imisebenzi emihle yoyilo lwamaJuda. Ekuphenduleni wathi:

Ngaba awuboni zonke ezi zinto? Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Akusayi kusala apha ilitye phezu kwelitye, elingayi kuchithwa. ”(Mt 24: 2)

Xa bafikayo kwiNtaba yemiNquma, kwangolo suku, bonke abafundi bakhe babecinga ngale nto. Ngenxa yoko, babuza:

1. “Iya nini ezi zinto ? "
2. "Uyakuba yintoni umqondiso wobukho bakho?"
3. "Uyakuba yintoni umqondiso ... wokupheliswa kwenkqubo yezinto?"

UYesu ebesandula ukubaxelela, kabini, ukuba “zonke ezi zinto” ziya kutshatyalaliswa. Ke xa bambuza "ngezi zinto", babebuza ngokwemeko yamazwi akhe. Babengabuzi malunga neArmagedon umzekelo. Igama "iArmagedon" alinakusetyenziswa eminye iminyaka engama-70 xa uJohn wabhala iSityhilelo sakhe. (ISi 16:16) Babengacingi ukuba inzaliseko enye iza kwenzeka kabini, ibe inzaliseko yokomfuziselo engabonakaliyo ibingazalisekiswa. Wayebaxelele nje ukuba ikhaya kwaye indawo yabo yokunqula eya kutshatyalaliswa iza kutshatyalaliswa, kwaye bafuna ukwazi ukuba nini. I-Plain kwaye ilula.

Uya kuqaphela ukuba wathi "zonke ezi zinto" ziya kuza phezu kwesi "sizukulwana". Ke ukuba uphendula umbuzo othi "ezi zinto" ziyakwenzeka nini kwaye ekuphenduleni kwakhe usebenzisa ibinzana elithi “esi sizukulwana”, ngekhe bagqibe kwelokuba wayethetha ngesi sizukulwana sinye wayebhekise kuso ngaphambili Usuku?

I-Parousía

Kuthekani ngenxalenye yesibini yalo mbuzo? Kutheni le nto abafundi basebenzise igama elithi "ubukho bakho" endaweni yelithi "ukuza kwakho" okanye "ukubuya kwakho"?

Eli gama "ubukho" ngesiGrike ngu Parousía. Ngelixa inokuthetha into enye eyenziwayo ngesiNgesi ("imeko okanye into ekhoyo, eyenzekayo, okanye ekhoyo endaweni okanye kwinto") kukho enye intsingiselo kwisiGrike engekhoyo kwisiNgesi.  I-Pauousia yayisetyenziswa empuma njengebinzana lobugcisa kutyelelo lwasebukhosini lokumkani, okanye umlawuli. Eli gama lithetha `` ukuba secaleni, '' ngoko ke, 'ubukho bobuqu' (K. Wuest, 3, Bypaths, 33). Yayithetha ixesha lotshintsho.

UWilliam Barclay ungene Amagama eTestamente eNtsha (iphe. 223) ithi:

Ukongeza, enye yezona zinto zixhaphake kakhulu kukuba amaphondo abonisa ixesha elitsha ukusuka kwiparousia yomlawuli. ICos ibhalwe ixesha elitsha ukusuka kwiparousia kaGaius Kesare ngo-AD 4, njengoko iGrisi yayisuka kwi-parousia ka-Hadrian ngo-AD 24. Icandelo elitsha lexesha lavela ngokuza kokumkani.
Esinye isenzo esiqhelekileyo yayikukubetha iingqekembe ezintsha zokukhumbula utyelelo lokumkani. Uhambo lukaHadrian lungalandelwa ziingqekembe zemali ezabethwayo ukukhumbula utyelelo lwakhe. Xa uNero watyelela eKorinte iingqekembe zabethwa ukukhumbula i-Adventus yakhe, ukuza, okufana nesiLatin njengeparousia yamaGrike. Kwakungathi ngokuza kokumkani kwavela uluhlu lwamaxabiso amatsha.
Ngamanye amaxesha iParousia isetyenziswa 'ngokuhlasela' kwephondo ngokubanzi. Isetyenziselwa ukuhlasela kweAsia nguMithradates. Ichaza ukungena kwindawo yesehlakalo ngamandla amatsha nawoyisayo.

Singayazi njani ingcinga yokuba abafundi babecinga ntoni?

Okungaqhelekanga ngokwaneleyo, abo banokukhuthaza ukucaciswa okungachanekanga, kobukho obungabonakaliyo, banike impendulo bengazi.

UKUQHUTYWA KWABAPOSTILE
Xa babuza uYesu ukuba, “Uyakuba yintoni na umqondiso wobukho bakho?” Babengazi ukuba ubukho bakhe bexesha elizayo abuyi kubonakala. (Mat. 24: 3) Naxa emveni kokuvuka kwakhe, babuza: "Nkosi, ububuyisela ngeli xesha na ubukumkani kuSirayeli ngeli xesha?" (Izenzo 1: 6) Babekhangela ukubuyiselwa okubonakalayo. Nangona kunjalo, umbuzo wabo ubonise ukuba babugcina ebukumkanini bukaThixo njengoKristu ukusondela. (W74 1 / 15 p. 50)

Kodwa bengawufumani umoya oyingcwele, babengayiqondi into yokuba engayi kuhlala kwitrone yasemhlabeni; babengenalo nofifi lokuba uza kulawula njengomoya ozukileyo ovela emazulwini kwaye ke babengazi ukuba ubukho bakhe yesibini babuya kungabonakali. (w64 9 / 15 pp. 575-576)

Ukulandela le ndlela yokucinga, cinga ngoko abapostile babekwazi ngelo xesha: UYesu wayesele ebaxelele ukuba uya kuba nabo nanini na xa ababini okanye abathathu behlanganisene egameni lakhe. (Mt 18: 20) Ukongeza, ukuba bebebuza ngobukho nje obuqhelekileyo njengoko siliqonda eli gama namhlanje, ngewayebaphendulile njengoko wenzayo kamsinya emva koko ngala mazwi: "ndinani yonke imihla de kube sekuphelisweni inkqubo yezinto. ” (Mt 28: 20) Abayi kufuna mqondiso ngaloo nto. Ngaba ngenene sikholelwa ukuba u Yesu wayefuna ukuba sijonge kwiimfazwe, iinyikima, kunye nendlala, sithi, "Ah, bubungqina obungaphezulu bokuba uYesu unathi"?

Kuyaphawuleka nokuba kwiivangeli ezintathu ezixela lo mbuzo, nguMateyu kuphela osebenzisa igama parousia. Oku kubalulekile kuba nguMateyu kuphela othetha "ngobukumkani bamazulu", ibinzana alisebenzisa amaxesha angama-33. Ugxile kakhulu kubukumkani bukaThixo obuzayo, ke kuye, bukaKristu parousia Oko kuthetha ukuba inkosi ifikile kwaye izinto sele zitshintshile.

I-Synteleias Chukumisa I-Aiōnos

Phambi kokuba sidlulise i-3 yangaphambili, kufuneka siqonde ukuba abafundi baqonde ntoni "ngokupheliswa kwenkqubo yezinto" okanye njengoko uninzi lwenguqulelo lubeka, "ukuphela kwexesha"; NgesiGrike, I-Synteleias Chukumisa I-Aiōnos). Singaqwalasela ukuba ukutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem kunye netempile yayo kwaphawula ukuphela kwexesha, kwaye kunjalo. Kodwa ngaba leyo yinto ababecinga ngayo abafundi xa babebuza umbuzo wabo?

NguYesu owazisa umxholo wokuphela kwenkqubo yezinto okanye ubudala. Ke bebengaqulunqi izimvo ezintsha apha, kodwa bebuza kuphela umqondiso wokuba isiphelo esele sithethile ngaso siza kufika nini. Ngoku uYesu akazange athethe ngeendlela ezintathu nangaphezulu. Wayekhe wabhekisa kwaba babini kuphela. Wayethetha nokuba ikwangoku, nangoko kuzayo.

“Umzekelo, ke lowo uthethe amazwi anxamnye noNyana woMntu, uya kuxolelwa; ke yena othe wathetha nxamnye nomoya oyingcwele, akuyi kuxolelwa, no, ingekho kule nkqubo yezinto nakwilizayo. ”(Mt 12: 32)

". . .UYesu wathi kubo: “ le nkqubo yezinto ukutshata kwaye unikezwe emtshatweni, 35 kodwa abo babalwe kufanelekile ukuba bazuze inkqubo yezinto Uvuko lwabafileyo abatshati, abatshatanga. ”(Lu 20: 34, 35)

". . .Uye inkosi yakhe yalincoma igosa, nangona lalilungile, kuba lenze ngobulumko obusebenzayo; Oonyana baka le nkqubo yezinto Banobulumko ngendlela efanelekileyo kwisizukulwana sabo kunabo bantwana bokukhanya. ”(Lu 16: 8)

". . .asizukufumana ikhulu ngoku ngeli xesha, izindlu kunye nabantakwabo noodade wabo noomama nabantwana nabantwana kunye neentshutshiso, kunye inkqubo yezinto ezayo ubomi obungunaphakade. ”(Mnu 10: 30)

UYesu wathetha ngenkqubo yezinto eza kuza emva kokuphela kwale ikhoyo. Inkqubo yezinto ngemihla kaYesu yayiquka okungaphezulu kunesizwe sakwaSirayeli. Yayiquka iRoma, kunye nehlabathi liphela ababebazi.

Bobabini uDaniyeli umprofeti, ekubhekiswa kuye nguYesu kuMateyu 24: 15, kunye noYesu ngokwakhe, baxela kwangaphambili ukuba intshabalalo yeso sixeko iza kuza kwabanye, umkhosi. (Luka 19:43; Daniyeli 9:26) Ukuba babephulaphule baze bathobele umyalelo kaYesu othi “basebenzise ukuqonda”, babeya kuqonda ukuba esi sixeko sasiza kupheliswa ngumkhosi wabantu. Banokuyithatha le iRoma kuba u Yesu wabaxelela ukuba isizukulwana esikhohlakeleyo somhla wabo siza kubona isiphelo, kwaye bekungenakulindeleka ukuba olunye uhlanga luyoyisa luthathe indawo yeRoma kweli xesha lifutshane liseleyo. (Mt 24: 34) Ke iRoma, njengomtshabalalisi weYerusalem, yayiya kuqhubeka ukubakho emva kokuba "zonke ezi zinto" zenzekile. Yiyo loo nto isiphelo sexesha sahlukile "kuzo zonke ezi zinto".

Ngaba luphawu okanye imiqondiso?

Inye into eqinisekileyo, bekukho uphawu olunye kuphela (lwesiGrike: ulwaziso). Bacele i Ongatshatanga Sayina i-3 kwaye u-Yesu wabanika Ongatshatanga sayina kwivesi 30. Abazange bacele imiqondiso (isininzi) kwaye uYesu akabanikanga ngaphezulu kunokuba bacelile. Wayethetha ngemiqondiso kwisininzi, kodwa kuloo meko wayethetha ngeempawu zobuxoki.

Kuba kuya kuvela ooKristu ababuxoki, nabaprofeti ababuxoki, bavuke imiqondiso nemimangaliso ukuze balahlekise, ukuba kunokwenzeka, nkqu nabo banyuliweyo. ”(Mt 24: 24)

Ke ukuba umntu uqala ukuthetha "ngemiqondiso emikhulu", kusenokwenzeka ukuba abe ngumprofeti wobuxoki. Ngapha koko, ukuzama ukujikeleza ukungabikho kobuninzi ngokubanga ukuba uYesu wayethetha "ngomqondiso odibeneyo" liqhinga nje lokuphepha ukuphawulwa njengomnye wabaprofeti bobuxoki asilumkisa ngabo. (Kuba abo basebenzisa ibinzana elithi "umqondiso odityanisiweyo" baye-amaxesha amaninzi-ukuba iingqikelelo zabo zisilele, sele bebonakalisile ukuba bangabaprofeti bobuxoki. Akukho ngxoxo iyaqhubeka.)

Iziganeko ezibini

Nokuba abafundi babecinga ukuba isiganeko esinye (ukutshatyalaliswa kweSixeko) siza kulandelwa ngokukhawuleza ngomnye (ukubuya kukaKrestu) sinokuqikelela. Into esiyaziyo kukuba uYesu wayewuqonda umahluko. Wayewazi lo myalelo ngokuchasene nokwazi nantoni na malunga nexesha lokubuya kwakhe esemandleni oKumkani. (IZe. 1: 7) Kodwa ke, kubonakala ukuba kwakungekho sithintelo sinye sokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem. Ngapha koko, nangona bengakhange bacele mqondiso wendlela esondele ngayo, ukusinda kwabo kwakuxhomekeke ekuboneni ukubaluleka kweziganeko.

Wufundeni ke kuwo umkhiwane umzekeliso: Nje ukuba amasebe awo amatsha antshule amagqabi awo, niyazi ukuba ihlobo likufuphi. 33 Ngokukwanjalo nani, xa nithe nazibona zonke ezo zinto, yazini ukuba ukufuphi, sekusemnyango. ”(Mt 24: 32, 33)

"Nangona kunjalo, xa ubona into elizothe ebangela isiphanziso ime apho kungafanelekanga ukuba (umfundi makasebenzise ukuqonda). . . ”(Mnu 13: 14)

Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Asisayi kudlula esi sizukulwana, zingadanga zenzeke zonke ezi zinto. ³⁵ Liya kudlula izulu nomhlaba, kodwa amazwi am awasayi kudlula. ”(Mt 24: 34, 35)

Ngaphandle kokubanika ithuba lexesha elibekiweyo ("esi sizukulwana") ukwabonisa indlela abazakubona ngayo ukubonakalisa kwayo. Aba bantu baya kuthi babonakale ngaphambili ukuba babengekazicacisi kwangaphambili, ngaphandle kwalowo usindileyo. Ukubonakala kwento elizothe.

Ixesha elibekiweyo lokulandela ukubonakala kwalo mqondiso wesinye lalithintelwe kwaye lifuna inyathelo elikhawulezileyo yakuba indlela icociwe njengoko kwakuxeliwe kuMt 24: 22. Nayi iakhawunti efanayo njengoko ihanjiswe nguMark:

“Bandule ke abo baseYudeya basabele ezintabeni. I-15 Umntu ophezu kwendlu makangehli okanye aye ngaphakathi ukuba athathe into endlwini yakhe; I-16 kwaye ivumele umntu osemasimini ukuba angabuyeli kwizinto ezisemva ukuze athathe ingubo yakhe yangaphandle. 17 Yeha abafazi abakhulelweyo kunye nabancancisa usana ngaloo mihla !. . .Ngaphandle koko, ukuba uYehova ebengayinqamlelanga imihla, bekungayi kubakho nyama isindayo. Kodwa ngenxa yabo banyuliweyo abanyulileyo, uyinqumle imihla. ”(Mnu 13: 14-18, 20)

Nokuba bebengazange babuze umbuzo abawubuzileyo, uYesu ngewayenethuba lokufumana ithuba lokudlulisela olu lwazi lubalulekileyo, olusindisa ubomi kubafundi bakhe. Nangona kunjalo, ukubuya kwakhe njengoKumkani akufuneki myalelo ungqalileyo. Ngoba? Kungenxa yokuba usindiso lwethu aluxhomekekanga ekufuduseleni kwindawo ethile kwindawo esiwa kuyo umnqwazi, okanye ukwenza enye into ethe ngqo njengokugubungela imigubasi yeminyango ngegazi. (Ex 12: 7) Usindiso lwethu luya kuba luphuma ezandleni zethu.

"Kwaye uya kuthumela iingelosi zakhe ngesandi esikhulu sexilongo, kwaye baya kubaqokelela ndawonye abanyuliweyo bakhe kwimimoya yomine, ukusuka kwesinye isiphelo samazulu ukuya kwesinye isiphelo." (Mt 24: 31)

Ke masingakhohliswa ngabantu abanokusixelela ukuba bangabanini bolwazi olufihlakeleyo. Oko kuphela ukuba siyabamamela apho siya kusindiswa. Amadoda asebenzisa amagama anje:

Sonke kufuneka sikulungele ukuthobela nayiphi na imiyalelo esiyifumanayo, nokuba ibonakala ivakala njengombono wecebo lobuchule okanye lomntu. (w13 11 / 15 p. 20 par. 17)

Isizathu sokuba uYesu angasinikanga miyalelo yosindiso lwethu, njengoko wenzayo kubafundi bakhe benkulungwane yokuqala, kungenxa yokuba xa ebuya usindiso lwethu luya kuba sezandleni zethu. Iya kuba ngumsebenzi weengelosi ezinamandla ukubona ukuba siyavunwa, sihlanganiselwe njengengqolowa kuvimba wakhe. (Mat 3:12; 13:30)

Ubunye bufuna ukuba kungabikho kulwa

Masibuyele emva siqwalasele i-Mt 24: 33: "... xa nizibona zonke ezi zinto, yazini ukuba ukufuphi eminyango."

Abaxhasi "bemihla yokugqibela" balatha koku kwaye bathi uYesu ubhekisa kuye ngokwakhe njengomntu wesithathu. Kodwa ukuba bekunjalo, ke uphikisana ngokungqalileyo nesilumkiso sakhe esenze nje iivesi ezilishumi elinanye ngaphezulu:

Ngenxa yoku nani hlalani nilungile, kuba uNyana woMntu uyeza ngelixa eningacingi ukuba lilo. ”(Mt 24: 44)

Singazi njani ukuba ukufuphi ngelixa kwangaxeshanye sikholelwa ekubeni akanakuba kufutshane? Ayenzi ngqondo. Ke ngoko, u "yena" kule vesi akanakuba nguNyana womntu. UYesu wayethetha ngomnye umntu, umntu ekuthethwa ngaye kwimibhalo kaDaniel, umntu onxulumene nazo "zonke ezi zinto" (ukutshatyalaliswa kwesixeko). Ke makhe sijonge kuDaniel impendulo.

“Kwaye isixeko kunye nendawo engcwele abantu inkokeli oko kuza kulonakalisa. Kwaye ukuphela kwayo kuya kuba ngomkhukula. Kude kube sekupheleni kuya kubakho imfazwe; isigqibo ekugqitywe kuso sisiphanziso. ... “Kwaye kwephiko le izinto ezilizothe kuya kubakho ophanzisayo; kude kube yinto yokupheliswa, into egqityiweyo iya kuphalala nakulowo uyinkangala. ”(Da 9: 26, 27)

Enoba “lowo usemnyango” nguCestius Gallus, owaphula isango letempile (indawo engcwele) ngowama-66 CE, wawanika amaKristu ithuba lokuba athobele uYesu, asabe, okanye Kwathi kanti “nguNjengele Titus owathi ngowama-70 CE wasithimba isixeko, wabulala phantse bonke abemi baso, waza wayitshabalalisa loo tempile. Into ebalulekileyo kukuba amazwi kaYesu angqineke eyinyani, kwaye anika amaKristu isilumkiso esinexesha abanokuzisebenzisa ukuzisindisa.

Isilumkiso esi yaba ziimpawu

UYesu wayebazi kakuhle abafundi bakhe. Wayezazi iintsilelo zabo kunye nobuthathaka babo; umnqweno wabo wokuvelela kunye nokulangazelela kwabo ukuphela okuzayo. (NguLuka 9: 46; Mt 26: 56; Izenzo 1: 6)

Ukholo aludingi ukubona ngamehlo. Ibona ngentliziyo nangengqondo. Uninzi lwabafundi bakhe luya kufunda ukuba nalo mgangatho wokholo, kodwa ngelishwa ayingabo bonke. Wayeyazi ukuba ukholo lomntu obuthathaka ngakumbi, kokukhona umntu ethembela ngakumbi kwizinto ezibonakalayo. Ngothando wasinika uthotho lwezilumkiso zokulwa lo mkhwa.

Ngapha koko, endaweni yokuphendula ngokukhawuleza umbuzo wabo, waqala kwangoko ngesilumkiso:

"Lumka kungabikho mntu ulahlekisayo," (Mt 24: 4)

Uxela kwangaphambili ukuba umkhosi kaKristu wobuxoki — abazibiza ngokuba ngabathanjisiweyo — uya kuza ulahlekise abafundi abaninzi. Oku kuya kubonisa imiqondiso kunye nemimangaliso yokukhohlisa nabanyuliweyo. (Mt 24: 23) Ngokuqinisekileyo, iimfazwe, iindlala, iindyikitya zokufa, kunye neenyikima ziziganeko ezoyikekayo. Xa abantu behlelwa yintlekele engaqondakaliyo enjengendyikitya yokufa (umz.Isibetho esiMnyama esinciphise inani labemi behlabathi kwi-14.^th Ngenkulungwane, okanye inyikima, bakhangela intsingiselo apho kungekho. Uninzi luya kufikelela kwisigqibo sokuba luphawu oluvela kuThixo. Oku kubenza babe ngumhlaba ochumileyo wayo nayiphi na indoda enganyanisekangayo ebhengeza ukuba ungumprofeti.

Abalandeli bokwenyani bakaKristu mabasukume bakuphelise oku kubuthathaka komntu. Bamele bawakhumbule amazwi akhe athi: “lumkani ningoyiki, kuba ezi zinto zimele zenzeke, kodwa isiphelo asikabikho.” (Mt 24: 6) Ukugxininisa ukungaphepheki kwemfazwe, uqhubeka athi:

Ye- [gar] Uhlanga luya kuvukelana nohlanga nobukumkani buvukelane nobukumkani, kwaye kuya kubakho ukunqongophala kokutya neenyikima zomhlaba kwiindawo ngeendawo. I-8 zonke ezi zinto ziqalo lentlungu. ”(Mt 24: 7, 8)

Abanye bazamile ukujika esi silumkiso sibe ngumqondiso odibeneyo. Bacebisa ukuba uYesu atshintshe ithoni yakhe apha, ukusuka kwisilumkiso esikuma-6 ukuya kumqondiso odityanisiweyo kwi-7. Babanga ukuba akathethi ngento eyenzeka rhoqo kwiimfazwe, kwiinyikima, kwindlala, nakwindyikitya yokufa.[v] kodwa ngolunye uhlobo lokunyuka olwenza ukuba le micimbi ibaluleke ngakumbi. Nangona kunjalo, ulwimi aluvumeli eso sigqibo. UYesu uqala esi silumkiso ngokudibanisa gar, ngesiGrike — njengakwiNgesi — yindlela yokuqhubeka nengcinga, ungayithelekisi ntsha.[vi]

Ewe, ilizwe elaliza kuza emva kokuba uYesu enyukele ezulwini laliza kuthi ekugqibeleni lizaliswe ziimfazwe, iindlala, iinyikima zomhlaba kunye neendyikitya zokufa. Abafundi bakhe kwakuza kufuneka babandezeleke nangona le “inimba” kunye noluntu luphela. Kodwa akaziniki ezi njengempawu zokubuya kwakhe. Singakuthetha oku ngokuqinisekileyo kuba imbali yebandla lamaKristu isinika ubungqina. Amaxesha ngamaxesha, amadoda aneenjongo ezintle nabangathembekanga aye aqinisekisa amakholwa angoowabo ukuba bayakwazi ukusondela kwesiphelo ngenxa yezi zinto kuthiwa ziyimiqondiso. Uqikelelo lwabo belusoloko lusilela ukuzaliseka, lubangele ukuphoxeka okukhulu kunye nokholo lomkhombe.

UYesu uyabathanda abafundi bakhe. (Yohane 13: 1) Akasayi kusinika miqondiso yobuxoki enokusilahlekisa kwaye isenze sibandezeleke. Abafundi bambuza umbuzo waza wawuphendula, kodwa wabanika okungaphezulu koko bakucelayo. Wabanika oko bakudingayo. Wabanika izilumkiso ezininzi ukuba bajonge ooKrestu bobuxoki bevakalisa imiqondiso nemimangaliso yobuxoki. Into yokuba abaninzi bakhethe ukungazinanzi ezi zilumkiso yinto elusizi kwindalo yesono.

Ukungabonakali I-Parousia?

Ndicela uxolo ukuba ndandingomnye wabo babengasinanzi isilumkiso sikaYesu phantse bonke ubomi bam. Ndabeka indlebe “kumabali obuxoki ayilwe ngobuqhetseba” malunga nobukho obungabonakaliyo bukaYesu obabusenzeka ngo-1914. Ukanti noYesu wasilumkisa ngezinto ezinje:

“Ngelo xesha ke, ukuba ubani uthe kuni, 'Khangela! Nanko uKrestu, okanye, Nanko ke. musa ukukholwa. I-24 Kuza kuvela ooKristu bobuxoki kunye nabaprofeti bobuxoki kwaye baya kwenza imiqondiso emikhulu kunye nemimangaliso ukuze balahlekise, ukuba kunokwenzeka, kwanabo banyuliweyo. 25 Jonga! Ndikuxelele kwangaphambili. 26 Ke, ukuba abantu bathi kuwe, 'Khangela! Usentlango, 'musani ukuphuma; 'Khangela! Unamagumbi angaphakathi, 'musani ukukholwa. ”(Mt 24: 23-25)

UWilliam MillerUmsebenzi wabo wazala umbutho wama-Adventist, wasebenzisa amanani avela kwiNcwadi kaDaniel ukubala ukuba uKristu uza kubuya ngo-1843 okanye ngo-1844. Xa oko kungaphumelelanga, kwabakho ukudana okukhulu. Nangona kunjalo, omnye umSabatha, UNathan Barbour, wathabatha isifundo koku kusilela kwaye xa esakhe isiprofeto sokuba uKrestu uza kubuya ngo-1874 sasilela, wasitshintsha sabuya ngokungabonakaliyo wabhengeza impumelelo. U-Krestu “wayesentlango” okanye efihlwe “kumagumbi angaphakathi”.

UCharles Taze Russell wathenga ubalo lwamaxesha lukaBarbour kwaye wamkela ubukho obungabonakaliyo be-1874. Wafundisa ukuba u-1914 wayeza kuphawula ukuqala kwembandezelo enkulu, awayeyigqala njengenzaliseko yokomfuziselo yamazwi kaYesu akuMateyu 24:21.

Kwakungekho kude kube yi-1930s NguJ. Rutherford ishukumise ukuqala kobukho bukaKristu obungabonakaliyo kumaNgqina kaYehova ukusuka kwi1874 ukuya kwi1914.[vii]

Kuyakhathaza ukuphulukana neminyaka kwinkonzo yoMbutho owakhelwe kumabali obuxoki ayilwe ngobuqhetseba, kodwa akufuneki sikuyeke kusiphoxe. Endaweni yoko siyavuya kuba uYesu ebone kufanelekile ukuba asivusele kwinyaniso esikhululayo. Ngolo vuyo, sinokuqhubela phambili nokunikela ubungqina ngoKumkani wethu. Asizikhathazi ngokwazi kwangaphambili oko kungaphandle kolawulo lwethu. Siza kwazi xa ixesha lifikile, kuba ubungqina abunakuphikwa. UYesu wathi:

Kuba kwanjengokuba umbane uphuma empumalanga ukhanye uye entshonalanga, buya kuba njalo ubukho boNyana woMntu. I-28 Naphi na apho ikhoyo isidumbu, ziya kuhlanganiselwa khona iinkozi. ”(Mt 24: 27, 28)

Wonke umntu ubona umbane obaneka esibhakabhakeni. Wonke umntu unokubona amaxhalanga ejikeleza, nokuba kukude kangakanani. Kuphela ziimfama ezifuna umntu oza kuzixelela ukuba umbane ubanekile, kodwa asisaboni.

Xa uYesu ebuya, ayizukuba yinto yokutolika. Umhlaba uya kumbona. Uninzi luya kuzibetha lusizi. Siza kuvuya. (ISi 1: 7; Luk 21: 25-28)

UMqondiso

Ke ekugqibeleni sifika kumqondiso. Abafundi bacela umqondiso omnye kuMateyu 24: 3 kwaye uYesu wabanika uphawu olunye kuMateyu 24:30:

“Ke umqondiso woNyana woMntu uya kubonakala ezulwini, kwaye zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziya kuzibetha zibuhlungu, kwaye ziya kumbona uNyana woMntu esiza esemafini ezulu enamandla nobuqaqawuli obukhulu. (Mt 24: 30)

Ukubeka le nto kule mihla, uYesu wathi kubo, "Nizondibona xa nibona '. Umqondiso wobukho bakhe is ubukho bakhe. Akukho mfuneko yokuba kubekho isixwayiso kwangoko.

UYesu wathi uya kuza njengesela. Isela alikuniki mqondiso wokuba uyeza. Uvuka ezinzulwini zobusuku umangaliswe sisandi esingalindelekanga sokumbona emi egumbini lakho lokuhlala. Lowo kuphela “komqondiso” owufumanayo ngobukho bakhe.

Ukutshixiza isandla

Kuyo yonke le nto, sisandula ukudlula kwinyaniso ebalulekileyo ebonisa ukuba ayisiyo kuphela uMateyu 24: 3-31 hayi Isiprofeto semihla yokugqibela, kodwa akunakubakho siprofeto sinjalo. Akukho siprofeto sinokusinika imiqondiso eyandulelayo ukuze sazi ukuba uKrestu ukufuphi. Ngoba? Kungenxa yokuba oko kuya kulonakalisa ukholo lwethu.

Sihamba ngokholo, hayi ngokubona. (2 Co 5: 7) Nangona kunjalo, ukuba bekuza kubakho imiqondiso exela ukubuya kukaKrestu, kunokuba yinto efanelekileyo yokuyekisa isandla, ngokungathi kunjalo. Isibongozo esithi, “hlalani nilindile, kuba anazi ukuba inkosi yendlu iza kufika nini”, sasiza kuba nantsingiselo. (Mnu 13:35)

Isibongozo esikweyabaseRoma 13: 11-14 besingayi kuba nantsingiselo ingako ukuba amaKristu ukutyhubela iinkulungwane ebenokwazi ukuba uKristu ukufuphi okanye akunjalo. Ukungazi kwethu kubalulekile, kuba sonke sinobomi obunomda, kwaye ukuba sifuna ukuyitshintsha ibe yinto engenasiphelo, kufuneka sihlale siphaphile njalo, kuba asazi ukuba iNkosi yethu iza nini.

Isishwankathelo

Ekuphenduleni umbuzo awubuziweyo, uYesu waxelela abafundi bakhe ukuba balumke bangaphazanyiswa zizinto ezimbi njengeemfazwe, iindlala, iinyikima zomhlaba kunye neendyikitya zokufa, bezichaza njengemiqondiso kaThixo. Wabalumkisa nangamadoda aza kuza, esebenza njengabaprofeti bobuxoki, esebenzisa imiqondiso nemimangaliso ukubaqinisekisa ukuba uYesu sele ebuyile engabonakali. Wabaxelela ukuba intshabalalo yeJerusalem iya kuba yinto abanokuyibona isiza kwaye iyakwenzeka kubomi babantu ababephila ngelo xesha. Okokugqibela, wabaxelela (kunye nathi) ukuba akukho mntu unokwazi ukuba ubuya nini. Nangona kunjalo, akufuneki ukuba sikhathazeke, kuba ukusindiswa kwethu akufuneki ukuba sazi kwangaphambili ngokuza kwakhe. Iingelosi ziya kukhathalela ukuvunwa kwengqolowa ngexesha elimisiweyo.

Addendum

Umfundi onengqiqo ubhale wabuza malunga nevesi 29 ebendikutyeshele ukuphawula ngayo. Ngokukodwa, yintoni "imbandezelo" ekubhekiswa kuyo xa isithi: "Kwaoko ke, emveni kwembandezelo yaloo mihla…"

Ndicinga ukuba ingxaki ivela ekusebenziseni kweNkosi igama kwindinyana 21. Igama ngu thlipsis NgesiGrike kuthetha "intshutshiso, uxinzelelo, uxinzelelo". Umxholo osondeleyo kwindinyana 21 ubonisa ukuba ubhekisa kwiziganeko ezinxulumene nokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem ngenkulungwane yokuqala. Nangona kunjalo, xa esithi "kwaoko emveni kwembandezelo enkulu [thlipis] ngaloo mihla ”, ngaba uthetha kwaloo mbandezelo? Ukuba kunjalo, kulindeleke ukuba sibubone ubungqina bembali yokuba ilanga lenziwe mnyama, kwaye nenyanga ayiniki kukhanya kwayo, neenkwenkwezi ziyawa ezulwini. ” Ngapha koko, kuba eqhubeka ngaphandle kwekhefu, abantu benkulungwane yokuqala kufanele ukuba babebonile "umqondiso woNyana woMntu… uvela ezulwini" kwaye babemele ukuba bazibetha ngenxa yentlungu njengoko babebona uYesu “esiza ngamafu. samandla ngamandla nobuqaqawuli obukhulu. ”

Akukho nto yenzekileyo, ke kwi-29, kubonakala ngathi ngekhe abhekisele kwimbandezelo efanayo ekubhekiswa kuyo kwindima yama-21.

Kuya kufuneka siyikhumbule into yokuba phakathi kwenkcazo yokutshatyalaliswa kwenkqubo yezinto yamaYuda kwi-vss. 15-22 nokuza kukaKristu kwindima. 29-31, kukho iivesi ezithetha ngooKrestu bobuxoki nabaprofeti bobuxoki abalahlekisa nabanyuliweyo, abantwana bakaThixo. Ezi ndinyana ziqukumbela, kwi-27 kunye ne-28, ngesiqinisekiso sokuba ubukho beNkosi buya kubonakala ngokubanzi kubo bonke.

Ke ukuqala kwivesi 23, uYesu uchaza iimeko ezaziza kulandela emva kokutshatyalaliswa kweJerusalem nezaziya kuphela xa ubukho bakhe buzibonakalisa.

". . Kuba kanye njengoko umbane uphuma empumalanga kwaye ukhanye ujonge ukuya ngasentshona, buya kuba njalo ubukho boNyana woMntu. I-28 Naphi na apho ikhoyo isidumbu, ziya kuhlanganiselwa khona iinkozi. ”(Mt 24: 27, 28)

Khumbula oko thlipis lithetha "intshutshiso, uxinzelelo, uxinzelelo". Ubukho booKrestu bobuxoki nabaprofeti bobuxoki ukutyhubela iinkulungwane kuzise intshutshiso, ukubandezeleka kunye noxinzelelo kumaKristu okwenyani, kuvavanya ngokuqatha nokucoca abantwana bakaThixo. Jonga nje intshutshiso esiyinyamezelayo njengamaNgqina kaYehova, kuba siyazikhanyela iimfundiso zabaprofeti bobuxoki zokuba uYesu sele ebuyile ngo-1914. Kungabonakala ukuba imbandezelo uYesu abhekisa kuyo kwindima ye-29 ikwayiloo nto uYohane abhekisa kuyo kwiSityhilelo. 7:14.

Kukho izikhombisi ezingama-45 zembandezelo kwiZibhalo zamaKristu kwaye phantse zonke zibhekisa kwimikhondo kunye nokuvavanywa kwamaKristu okunyamezela njengenkqubo yokucokisa ukuze ufaneleke kuKristu. Ngokukhawuleza emva kokuphela kwembandezelo yexesha elide, umqondiso kaKristu uza kubonakala ezulwini.

Oku kuthatha kwam izinto. Andifumani kwanto elunge ngakumbi nangona ndivulekile kwiingcebiso.
