Namhlanje, siza kuxoxa ngemfundiso ye-eskatological yamaKristu ebizwa ngokuba yi-Preterism, ukusuka kwisiLatini indumasi intsingiselo "edlulileyo". Ukuba awuyazi into ethethwa yi-eschatology, ndiza kukugcinela umsebenzi wokuyijonga. Kuthetha isifundiswa sebhayibhile ngokubhekisele kwimihla yokugqibela. I-preterism yinkolelo yokuba zonke iziprofeto ngokubhekisele kwiintsuku zokugqibela eBhayibhileni sele zizalisekisiwe. Ukongeza, i-preterist ikholelwa ukuba iziprofeto ezisencwadini kaDaniel zagqitywa ngenkulungwane yokuqala. Ukholelwa ukuba ayizalisekanga nje kuphela amazwi kaYesu akuMateyu 24 ngaphambi okanye ngowama-70 CE xa iYerusalem yatshatyalaliswayo, kodwa nokuba isiTyhilelo kuYohane sabona sizaliseka ngokupheleleyo ngelo xesha.

Unokucinga ukuba iingxaki ezi zibangelwa yipreterist. Inani elibalulekileyo lezi ziprofeto lifuna ukutolikwa okukuko ukwenza ukuba zisebenze njengokugqitywa kwenkulungwane yokuqala. Umzekelo, isiTyhilelo sithetha ngovuko lokuqala:

"... badla ubomi kwaye balawula kunye noKristu iminyaka eliwaka. Abanye abafileyo zange baphile, kwade kwagqitywa iminyaka eliwaka. Olu luvuko lokuqala. Unoyolo kwaye ungcwele lowo unesabelo kuvuko lokuqala; phezu kwabo ukufa kwesibini akunamandla, kodwa baya kuba ngababingeleli bakaThixo nabakaKristu, balawule kunye naye iminyaka eliwaka. (ISityhilelo 20: 4-6 NASB)

U-Preterism uxela ukuba olu luvuko lwenzeka ngenkulungwane yokuqala, efuna ukuba umntu achaze kwangaphambili ukuba achaze ukuba amawaka amaKrestu anganyamalala kanjani emhlabeni ngaphandle kokushiya umkhondo wento emangalisa kangaka. Akukho nto ikhankanyiweyo koku nakweyiphi na imibhalo yamva nje yamaKristu yenkulungwane yesibini neyesithathu. Ukuba isiganeko esinjalo asinakuqatshelwa luluntu lonke lobuKristu sidlulisa inkolelo.

Ke kukho umceli mngeni wokuchaza ukuvalelwa kukaMtyholi kangangesithuba seminyaka eli-1000 ukuze angalahlekisi izizwe, singasathethi ke ngokukhutshwa kwakhe kunye nemfazwe elandelayo phakathi kwabangcwele kunye neqela likaGogi noMagogi. (ISityhi. 20: 7-9)

Ngaphandle kwemiceli mngeni enjalo, uninzi luyayixhasa le ithiyori, kwaye ndiye ndafunda ukuba inani lamaNgqina kaYehova lize ukuxhasa le nguqulelo yesiprofeto. Ngaba yindlela yokuzahlukanisa ne-1914 eschatology yoMbutho? Ngaba kubaluleke ngokwenene oko sikukholelwayo ngemihla yokugqibela? Kule mihla, siphila kwiminyaka yokuba ulungile-ndilungile-theology. Uluvo kukuba ayisiyonto ibalulekileyo ukuba ngubani na kuthi ukholelwa ukuba sonke siyathandana.

Ndiyavuma ukuba kukho iindinyana ezithile eBhayibhileni apho kungenakwenzeka ngoku ukufikelela kwingcaciso eqinisekileyo. Uninzi lwezi lufumaneka kwincwadi yeSityhilelo. Ewe, sishiye ngasemva imfundiso yoMbutho, asifuni ukuyila eyethu imfundiso. Nangona kunjalo, ngokuchasene nengcamango ye-buffet yeemfundiso, uYesu wathi, "Kuza ilixa, nangoku selikho, xa abanquli abayinyaniso baya kumnqula uBawo ngoMoya nangenyaniso; kuba uBawo ufuna abanjalo ukumnqula. (Yohane 4:23) Kwakhona, uPawulos walumkisa “ngabo batshabalalayo, ngenxa yokuba bengalwamkelanga uthando lwenyaniso ukuze basindiswe.” (2 Tesalonika 2:10 NASB)

Senza kakuhle ukuba singakujongeli phantsi ukubaluleka kwenyaniso. Ngokuqinisekileyo, kunokuba ngumceli mngeni ukwahlula inyaniso kwinyani; Inyaniso yebhayibhile evela kwintelekelelo yamadoda. Sekunjalo, oko akumele kusidimaze. Akukho namnye owathi kuya kuba lula, kodwa umvuzo wokuphela kwalo mzabalazo mkhulu kakhulu kwaye uthethelela nayiphi na imizamo esiyenzayo. Ngumzamo awunikezelayo uBawo kwaye ngenxa yawo, uthulula umoya wakhe kuthi ukuze usikhokele kuyo yonke inyaniso. (UMateyu 7: 7-11; uYohane 16:12, 13).

Ngaba i-preterist theology iyinyani? Ngaba kubalulekile ukuyazi loo nto, okanye ngaba kufanelekile ukuba yenye yeendawo esinokuthi sibe nezimvo ezahlukileyo ngaphandle kokonakalisa unqulo lwethu lobuKristu? Ukuthatha kwam le nto kukuba kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba ingaba le theology iyinyani. Ngokwenene ngumbandela wosindiso lwethu.

Kutheni ndicinga ukuba kunjalo? Ewe, qwalasela esi sibhalo: “Phumani kuyo, bantu bam, ukuze ningadli inxaxheba ezonweni zayo, ukuze ningamkeliswa kwizibetho zayo” (IsiTyhilelo 18: 4 NASB).

Ukuba eso siprofeto sazaliseka ngowama-70 CE, kufuneka singasinikeli ngqalelo isilumkiso saso. Leyo ngumbono wePreterist. Kodwa kuthekani ukuba bayaphazama? Ke abo bakhuthaza ubu-Preterism bacenga abafundi bakaYesu ukuba basityeshele isilumkiso sakhe esisindisa ubomi. Uyabona kule nto, ukuba ukwamkela umbono we-Preterist ayisiyondlela elula yokufunda. Isenokuba ngumcimbi wobomi okanye wokufa.

Ngaba ikhona indlela yethu yokufumanisa ukuba le theology iyinyani okanye ibubuxoki ngaphandle kokungena kwiimpikiswano eziqinisekisiweyo malunga nokutolikwa?

Ewe, ikho.

Ukuze inyani ibekho ngaphambi kwexesha, incwadi yeSityhilelo kufuneka ukuba yabhalwa ngaphambi kowama-70 CE Uninzi lwababhali bexesha langaphambili lwabhalwa ukuba yabhalwa emva kokurhangqwa kweYerusalem ngowama-66 CE kodwa ngaphambi kokuba itshatyalaliswe ngowama-70 CE

Isityhilelo sinothotho lwemibono ebonisa ezi zigigaba zexesha elizayo.

Ke, ukuba yabhalwa emva kuka-70 CE, ayinakusebenza ekutshatyalalisweni kweYerusalem. Ke ngoko, ukuba sinokuqiniseka ukuba yabhalwa emva kwaloo mhla, akukho mfuneko yokuba siqhubeke kwaye singalahla umbono wangaphambili njengomnye umzekelo wokuqiqa okungaphumeleliyo.

Uninzi lwabaphengululi beBhayibhile bathi ukutyhilwa kweSityhilelo malunga neminyaka engama-25 emva kokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem, ukubeka ngo-95 okanye ngo-96 CE oko kuya kuphikisa nayiphi na ingcaciso yangaphambili. Kodwa ngaba ukuthandana ngokuchanekileyo kuchanekile? Isekwe phi?

Makhe sibone ukuba singayifumana na loo nto.

Umpostile uPawulos waxelela abaseKorinte: "Ngomlomo wamangqina amabini okanye amathathu umba wonke kufuneka umiselwe" (2 kwabaseKorinte 13: 1). Ngaba sinawo amangqina anokungqina malunga noku kuthandana?

Siza kuqala ngobungqina bangaphandle.

Ingqina lokuqala: UIrenaeus, wayengumfundi kaPolycarp owayekwangumfundi woMpostile uYohane. Ubeka umhla ekubhaleni ngasekupheleni kolawulo loMlawuli uDomitian owayelawula ukusuka kwi-81 ukuya kwi-96 CE

Ingqina lesibini: UClement waseAlexandria, owayephila ukusuka ku-155 ukuya ku-215 CE, ubhala athi uJohn wasuka kwisiqithi sasePatmos apho wayevalelwe khona emva kokuba uDomitian esweleke ngoSeptemba 18, 96 CE Kule meko, uClement ubhekisa kuYohane "njengendoda endala". ngeyengakulungelanga ukubhala kwangaphambi kuka-70 CE, inikwe into yokuba uYohane wayengomnye wabapostile abasebancinci kwaye ke wayenokuba sele ephakathi kuphela ngelo xesha.

Ingqina lesithathu: UVictorinus, umbhali-mbhali wenkulungwane yokuqala yesicatshulwa, ubhala athi:

“Xa uJohn wayethetha ezi zinto, wayekwisiqithi sasePatmos, egwetywe emigodini nguKesare Domitian. Apho wabona iApocalypse; kwaye xa sele aluphele, wacinga ukuba uya kukhululwa ngokubandezeleka; kodwa ke uDomitian ebulewe, wakhululwa ”(Commentary of ISityhi. 10:11)

Ingqina lesine: UJerome (340-420 CE) wabhala:

“Kunyaka weshumi elinesine emva kokuba uNero, uDomitian evuse intshutshiso yesibini, [uJohn] wagxothwa kwisiqithi sasePatmos, wabhala iApocalypse” (iLives of Illustrious Men 9).

Oko kwenza amangqina amane. Ke, lo mcimbi ubonakala umiselwe ngokuqinileyo kubungqina bangaphandle bokuba iSityhilelo sabhalwa ngo-95 okanye ngo-96 CE

Ngaba bukhona ubungqina bangaphakathi bokuxhasa oku?

Ubungqina 1: KwisiTyhilelo 2: 2, iNkosi ixelela ibandla lase-Efese: “Ndiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, nokubulaleka kwakho, nokunyamezela kwakho. Kwindinyana elandelayo uyabancoma kuba "ngaphandle kokutyhafa, unyamezele kwaye wanyamezela izinto ezininzi ngenxa yegama lam." Uqhubeka ngokukhalimela: "Kodwa ndinale nto ngakuwe: Uluyekile uthando lwakho lokuqala." (Isityhilelo 2: 2-4 BSB)

UMlawuli uClaudius walawula ukusuka ngo-41-54 CE, kwaye ke, ngasekupheleni kolawulo, apho uPawulos waseka ibandla lase-Efese. Ngokubhekele phaya, xa wayeseRoma ngo-61 CE, ebancoma ngokuthanda nangokholo lwabo.

"Ngenxa yesi sizathu, oko ndivayo ngalo ukholo lwakho kwiNkosi uYesu nangothando lwakho kubo bonke abangcwele."

Ukukhalimela kukaYesu kubanika ukuqonda kuphela ukuba ixesha lidlulile. Oku akusebenzi ukuba kudlule iminyaka embalwa ukusuka kudumo lukaPawulos ukuya ekugwetyweni kukaYesu.

Ubungqina 2: Ngokutsho kweSityhilelo 1: 9, uJohn wayevalelwe kwisiqithi sasePatmos. Umlawuli uDomitian wayeluthanda olu hlobo lwentshutshiso. Nangona kunjalo, uNero, owayelawula ukususela ngo-37 ukuya ku-68 CE, wakhetha ukubulawa, okwenzekayo kuPeter noPaul.

Ubungqina 3: KwiSityhilelo 3:17 sixelelwa ukuba ibandla laseLawodike lalisisityebi kakhulu kwaye lalingafuni kwanto. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba samkela ukubhala ngaphambi kuka-70 CE njengabaphangi bexesha langaphambili, singabuchaza njani ubutyebi obunje ngokuba isixeko saphantse satshatyalaliswa yinyikima ngo-61 CE Akubonakali kusengqiqweni ukukholelwa ukuba bangasuka kwintshabalalo epheleleyo ubutyebi obuninzi kwiminyaka nje emi-6 ukuya kwesi-8?

Ubungqina 4: Iileta zika-2 Petros no-Yuda zabhalwa kanye phambi kokurhangqwa kwesixeko okokuqala, malunga nowama-65 CE Zombini zithetha ngempembelelo eyonakalisayo yokungena ebandleni. Ngexesha lesiTyhilelo, eli sele lihlelo elipheleleyo likaNicolaus, into engenakwenzeka ukuba iqhubeke kwiminyaka embalwa (IsiTyhilelo 2: 6, 15).

Ubungqina 5: Ukuphela kwenkulungwane yokuqala, ukutshutshiswa kwamaKristu kwakusasazeke kubo bonke ubukhosi. IsiTyhilelo 2:13 sithetha ngoAntipas owabulawa ePergamo. Nangona kunjalo, intshutshiso kaNero yayiphelele eRoma kwaye yayingezizo izizathu zonqulo.

Kubonakala ngathi kukho ubungqina obuninzi obungaphandle nangaphandle obuxhasa umhla wama-95 ukuya kowama-96 CE uninzi lwaBaphengululi beBhayibhile babambelela kule ncwadi. Ke, zithini izinto zaphambi kwexesha ukuba ziyabuphikisa obu bungqina?

Abo baphikisana ngomhla wokuqala babonisa izinto ezinjengokungabikho kokukhankanywa kwentshabalalo yeYerusalem. Nangona kunjalo, ngonyaka wama-96 CE lonke ilizwe belazi ngentshabalalo yeJerusalem, kwaye ke amaKrestu aqonda ngokucacileyo ukuba konke kwenzeke ngokungqinelana nesiprofetho.

Kuya kufuneka sikhumbule ukuba uYohane wayengabhali ileta okanye ivangeli njengabanye ababhali beBhayibhile, njengoJames, Paul, okanye Peter. Wayesebenza njengonobhala ethatha unyanzeliso. Wayengabhali ngesiqu sakhe. Waye waxelelwa ukuba abhale oko akubonileyo. Amaxesha alishumi elinanye unikwa umyalelo othile wokubhala into awayeyibona okanye ayixelelwayo.

"Kwakhona, uthi:" Bhala, kuba la mazwi athembekile kwaye ayinyaniso (Re 21: 5)

Ke, ngaba kufanele ukuba sicinge ukuba ukubona ukubonakaliswa kokhokelo lobuThixo, uYohane uya kuthi, “Hee, Nkosi. Ndicinga ukuba kuya kuba kuhle ukuba sithethe ngokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem okwenzeka kwiminyaka engama-25 eyadlulayo ... uyazi, ngenxa yolwazelelo! ”

Andikuboni oko kusenzeka, akunjalo? Ke, ukungabikho kwayo nayiphi na into ekhankanyiweyo yeziganeko zembali akuthethi nto. Liqhinga nje lokuzama ukusenza samkele umbono wokuba ii-preterists zizama ukuwela. Yi-eisegesis, ayikho enye into.

Ewe, ukuba siza kwamkela umbono wangaphambi kobuPreterist, kuya kufuneka samkele ukuba ubukho bukaYesu baqala ngo-70 CE ngokusekwe kuMateyu 24:30, 31 kwaye abangcwele bavuswa kwaye benziwa kumila kumbi ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso ngelo xesha . Ukuba bekunjalo, kutheni ke kufuneka ukuba abaleke esixekweni? Kutheni zonke izilumkiso malunga nokusaba kwangoko ukuze ungabhaqwa kwaye utshabalale nabanye? Kutheni ungabakhupheli nje phezulu ngoko nangoko? Kwaye kutheni kungasayi kubakho nto ikhankanyiweyo kwimibhalo yamaKristu ukusukela pha kwinkulungwane ukuya kwinkulungwane yesibini yokuxhwilwa kwabo bonke abo bangcwele? Ngokuqinisekileyo bekuya kubakho ukukhankanywa kokunyamalala kwalo lonke ibandla lamaKristu laseYerusalem. Ngapha koko, onke amaKristu, amaJuda kunye neeNtlanga, ngewayephelile ebusweni bomhlaba ngo-70 CE-exwilwe. Isenokungaziwa loo nto.

Kukho enye ingxaki kwi-Preterism endicinga ukuba iyigqwesa yonke enye into kwaye ebonisa imeko eyingozi kwesi sikhokelo sobufundisi. Ukuba yonke into yenzekile ngenkulungwane yokuqala, yintoni eshiyekileyo kuthi sonke? U-Amosi usixelela ukuba "iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ayiyi kwenza nto ngaphandle kokuba iwutyhilile umcimbi wayo oyimfihlo kubakhonzi bayo abaprofeti" (Amosi 3: 7).

Ubandlululo aluniki sibonelelo kuloo nto. IsiTyhilelo sibhaliwe emva kweziganeko zokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem, sishiywe yimifuziselo ukusinika iziqinisekiso zekamva. Ezinye zezi zinto sinokuziqonda ngoku, ngelixa ezinye ziya kucaca xa kufuneka njalo. Injalo ke nesiprofetho.

AmaYuda ayesazi ukuba uMesiya uza kuza kwaye ayeneenkcukacha eziphathelele ekufikeni kwakhe, iinkcukacha ezazichaza ixesha, indawo kunye neziganeko eziphambili. Nangona kunjalo, kuninzi okwasala kungafakwanga kodwa okubonakalayo xa uMesiya wafika ekugqibeleni. Yile nto sinayo ngencwadi yeSityhilelo nesizathu sokuba ibangela umdla kumaKristu namhlanje. Kodwa ngo-Preterism, konke oku kuyahamba. Inkolelo yam yeyokuba ukufundisa kwangaphambili kuyingozi kwaye kufanelekile ukukuphepha.

Ngokutsho oko, andicebisi ukuba uninzi lukaMateyu 24 alunazalisekiso kwinkulungwane yokuqala. Into endiyithethayo yile yokuba into izalisekisiwe kwinkulungwane yokuqala, kumhla wethu, okanye kwikamva lethu kufuneka igqitywe ngokusekwe kwimeko kwaye ayenzelwanga ukuba ilingane nexesha elithile langaphambi kokukhulelwa ngokusekwe kuthelekelelo.

Kwisifundo sethu esilandelayo, siza kujonga intsingiselo kunye nokusebenza kwembandezelo enkulu ekubhekiswa kuyo kuMateyu nakwisiTyhilelo. Asizukuzama ukufumana indlela yokuyinyanzela nakweliphi na ixesha elithile, kodwa ke siza kujonga umxholo kuyo yonke indawo eyenzekileyo kwaye sizame ukumisela ukuzaliseka kwayo.

Enkosi ngokubukela. Ukuba ungathanda ukusinceda siqhubeke nalo msebenzi, kukho ikhonkco kwinkcazo yale vidiyo yokukusa kwiphepha lethu leminikelo.
