Le yinxalenye ye-9 yokuhlalutya kwethu uMateyu isahluko 24. 

Ndikhuliswe njengeNgqina likaYehova. Ndikhule ndikholelwa ukuba isiphelo sehlabathi sisondele; ukuba kwisithuba seminyaka embalwa, bendiya kuhlala kwiparadesi. Ndade ndanikwa ixesha lokubala ukuze ndincede ndiqonde ukuba ndikufutshane kangakanani na kwihlabathi elitsha. Ndaxelelwa ukuba isizukulwana awathetha ngaso uYesu kuMateyu 24:34 sabona ukuqala kwemihla yokugqibela ngo-1914 kwaye sasiza kuba sisondele de kube sekupheleni. Xa ndandineminyaka engamashumi amabini, ngo-1969, eso sizukulwana sasindala njengangoku. Ewe, oko bekusekwe kwinkolelo yokuba ukuze ube yinxalenye yeso sizukulwana, bekuya kufuneka ube umdala ngo-1914. Njengokuba sasingena kwiminyaka yee-1980, iQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova kwafuneka lenze uhlengahlengiso oluthile. Ngoku isizukulwana saqala njengabantwana abadala ngokwaneleyo ukuba baqonde intsingiselo yeziganeko ze1914. 

Njengokuba eso sizukulwana sasifa, le mfundiso yalahlwa. Ke, malunga neminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, bayibuyisela ebomini ngokohlobo lwesizukulwana esiphakamileyo, kwaye baphinde bathi ngokusekwe kwisizukulwana, isiphelo sikufuphi. Oku kundikhumbuza ikhathuni kaCharlie Brown apho uLucy eqhubeka nokudibanisa uCharlie Brown ukukhaba ibhola, kuphela ukuyirhola ngomzuzu wokugqibela.

Ngokuchanekileyo bacinga ukuba siziziyatha kangakanani? Kuyabonakala ukuba, sisidenge kakhulu.

Ewe, uYesu wathetha ngesizukulwana esingayi kufa ngaphambi kokuphela. Wayethetha ngantoni?

Wufundeni ke kuwo umkhiwane umzekeliso: Nje ukuba amasebe awo amatsha antshule amagqabi awo, niyazi ukuba ihlobo likufuphi. Ngokukwanjalo nani, xa nithe nazibona zonke ezo zinto, yazini ukuba ukufuphi, sekusemnyango. Inene ndithi kuwe, Asisayi kudlula esi sizukulwana, zingadanga zenzeke zonke ezi zinto. Izulu nomhlaba ziya kudlula, kodwa amazwi am awasayi kudlula. (Mat. 24: 32-35, New World Translation)

Ngaba sifumene nje unyaka wokuqala ngokungalunganga? Ayingu-1914? Mhlawumbi i-1934, ucinga ukuba sibala ukusuka kwi-587 BCE, owona nyaka kanye owatshabalaliswa yiYerusalem yiBhabhiloni? Okanye ngaba ngomnye unyaka? 

Ungakubona ukuhendeka kokukusebenzisa oku kumhla wethu. UYesu wathi, “ukufuphi eminyango”. Umntu ngokwendalo ucinga ukuba wayethetha ngaye emntwini wesithathu. Ukuba siyayamkela loo nto, apho uYesu athetha ngokwazisa ixesha, singacinga ukuba imiqondiso iyakubonakala kuthi sonke, njengokuba sonke sinokubona amagqabi edubula abonisa ukuba ihlobo likufuphi. Apho akhomba khona, "zonke ezi zinto", sinokucinga ukuba uthetha ngazo zonke izinto awayezibandakanya kwimpendulo yakhe, njengeemfazwe, iindlala, iindyikitya zokufa, kunye neenyikima. Ke ngoko, xa esithi "esi sizukulwana" asisayi kudlula zide zonke ezi zinto zenzeke ”, konke ekufuneka sikwenzile kukuchonga isizukulwana ekuthethwa ngaso kwaye sinomlinganiso wexesha lethu. 

Kodwa ukuba kunjalo, kutheni singenakwenza njalo. Jonga isiphithiphithi esishiyekileyo emva kwesifundo esingaphumeleliyo samaNgqina kaYehova. Ngaphezulu kwekhulu leminyaka lokuphoxeka kunye nokudana okubangele ukuphulukana nokholo lwabantu abaninzi. Kwaye ngoku bayiqokelele le mfundiso isisiyatha yokwabelana ngesizukulwana, benethemba lokuba basenze sithathe enye ibhola ekhatywayo.

Ngaba ngokwenene uYesu uya kusilahlekisa kanjalo, okanye ngaba nathi siyazikhohlisa, size sizityeshele izilumkiso zakhe?

Masithathe umphefumlo onzulu, siphumze iingqondo zethu, sisuse yonke inkunkuma ekutolikeni kwe-Watchtower nasekutolongeni kwakhona, kwaye sivumele iBhayibhile ithethe nathi.

Inyani yile yokuba iNkosi yethu ayixoki, kwaye ayiziphikisi. Le nyaniso isisiseko kufuneka ngoku isikhokele ukuba siza kufumanisa ukuba uthetha ngantoni xa esithi, "usondele emasangweni". 

Isiqalo esihle ekumiseleni impendulo yalo mbuzo kukufunda umxholo. Mhlawumbi iivesi ezilandela uMateyu 24: 32-35 ziya kusikhanyisela ngakumbi ngalo mbandela.

Akukho namnye uwaziyo loo mhla nelo lixa, azazi nezithunywa ezisemazulwini, akazi noNyana lo, kuphela nguYise. Njengoko kwaye kuhle ngemihla kaNowa, koba njalo ekuhambeni koNyana woMntu. Kuba ngemihla yangaphambi konogumbe, abantu babedla, besela, batshata, bepha, kwada kwayimini uNowa wangena ngayo emkhombeni. Kwaye Babengaqwalaseli, kude kufike unogumbe kwaye ubatshisile bonke. Iya kuba njalo ke ekufikeni koNyana woMntu. Amadoda amabini aya kube esentsimini: omnye athathwe, omnye ashiywe. ⁴¹ Abafazi ababini boba besila etyeni lokusila, omnye athathwe, omnye ashiywe.

Ke ngoko hlalani nilindile, kuba Awazi umhla eza ngawo iNkosi yakho. Kodwa qonda oku: Ukuba umnini-ndlu ebesazi ukuba isela liza ngawuphi na umlindo wobusuku, ngewayegcine umlindo kwaye angavumeli ukuba indlu yakhe igqojozwe. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, nawe kufuneka ulungele, kuba UNyana woMntu uza kuza ngelixa eningalilindelanga. (Mat. 24: 36-44)

UYesu uqala ngokusixelela ukuba naye wayengazi ukuba uza kubuya nini. Ukucacisa ngakumbi ukubaluleka kwalonto, uthelekisa ixesha lokubuya kwakhe kunye nemihla kaNowa xa lonke ilizwe lalingazi ukuba ilizwe labo sele lizakuphela. Ke, ilizwe langoku liya kuba lingenako nokubuyela. Kunzima ukungaziqapheli ukuba kukho imiqondiso ebonisa ukufika kwakhe okufuphi, njengeCoronavirus. Ergo, iCoronavirus ayilophawu lokuba uKrestu sele eza kubuya. Ewe, kuba inkoliso yamaKristu asisiseko sobuvangeli kunye namaNgqina kaYehova- ukukubona oko kungumqondiso wokungahoyi into yokuba uYesu wathi, "uNyana woMntu uza ngelixa ongalilindelanga." Ngaba sicacile kuloo nto? Okanye ngaba sicinga ukuba uYesu wayezikhohlisa nje? Ukudlala ngamagama? Andicingi njalo.

Ewe kunjalo, ubuntu buza kwenza abanye bathi, "Ewe, ihlabathi lingangakhathalelwa kodwa abalandeli bakhe baphaphile, kwaye baya kuwubona umqondiso."

Ngaba ucinga ukuba ngubani uYesu awayethetha naye xa wathi-ndiyayithanda indlela iNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha ekubeka ngayo xa wathi “… UNyana woMntu uyeza ngelixa awucingi ukuba yiyo. " Wayethetha nabafundi bakhe, ingelilo eluntlitheko loluntu.

Ngoku sinento enye engenakuphikiswa: Asinakho ukuxela kwangaphambili ukuba iNkosi yethu ibuya nini. Sinokude siye kude siye kuthi nakuphi na ukubikezela kuyaqiniseka ukuba akulunganga, kuba ukuba siyayixela kwangaphambili, siza kuyilindela, kwaye ukuba siyayilindela, ayizukuza, kuba uthe-kwaye nam ungacingi ukuba singayithetha rhoqo le nto-uza kuza xa singamlindelanga. Ngaba sicacile kuloo nto?

Akunjalo? Mhlawumbi sicinga ukuba kukho isiphako? Ewe, besingayi kuba sodwa kuloo mbono. Nabafundi bakhe abayifumananga. Khumbula, wayithetha yonke le nto kanye phambi kokuba abulawe. Ukanti, kwiintsuku nje ezingamashumi amane kamva, xa wayeza kunyukela ezulwini, bambuza oku:

"Nkosi, ububuyisela ngeli xesha na ubukumkani kuSirayeli?" (Izenzo 1: 6)

Kuyamangalisa! Ngokukodwa kwinyanga ephelileyo, wayebaxelele ukuba naye ngokwakhe wayengazi ukuba uza kubuya nini, emva koko wongeze ukuba uza kufika ngexesha elingalindelekanga, kodwa basakhangela impendulo. Wabaphendula, kulungile. Wabaxelela ukuba ayiyondaba yabo leyo. Uyibeke ngale ndlela:

“Asikokwenu ukwazi amaxesha okanye amaxesha uBawo awabeke kuwawakhe amandla.” (Izenzo 1: 7)

"Yima khawume", ndisiva umntu esithi. “Yima nje umzuzu we-goll-dang! Ukuba akufuneki sazi, kutheni le nto uYesu wasinika imiqondiso kwaye esixelela ukuba konke kuya kwenzeka kwisizukulwana esinye?

Impendulo kukuba, akazange. Siwafunda kakubi amazwi akhe. 

UYesu akaxoki, kwaye akaziphikisi. Ke ngoko, akukho kungqubana phakathi kukaMateyu 24:32 kunye neZenzo 1: 7. Zombini zithetha ngamaxesha onyaka, kodwa azinakuthetha ngamaxesha afanayo. KwiZenzo, amaxesha namaxesha abhekisele ekuzeni kukaKristu, ubukho bakhe bobukumkani. Ezi zibekwe kulawulo lukaThixo. Asifanelanga ukuzazi ezi zinto. YekaThixo ukwazi, hayi thina. Ke ngoko, utshintsho lwamaxesha athetha ngalo kuMateyu 24:32 oluchaza ukuba xa “ukufuphi eminyango” alunakubhekisa kubukho bukaKristu, kuba la ngamaxesha amaKristu avunyelwe ukuwabona.

Obunye ubungqina boku sibubona xa siphinda sijonga indinyana 36 ukuya kwengama-44. UYesu uyenza icace gca into yokuba ukufika kwakhe kuya kuba yinto engalindelekanga kangangokuba kwanabo bayifunayo, abafundi bakhe abathembekileyo, baya kumangaliswa. Nokuba siyakulungela, siya kuhlala simangalisiwe. Ungalilungiselela isela ngokuhlala liphaphile, kodwa usaya kufumana isiqalo xa ligqabha, kuba isela alikho saziso.

Kuba uYesu uza kuza ngexesha esingalilindelanga kakhulu, uMateyu 24: 32-35 akanakubhekisa ekufikeni kwakhe kuba yonke into ebonisa ukuba izakubakho imiqondiso kunye nexesha elifanelekileyo lokulinganisa ngalo.

Xa sibona amagqabi etshintsha silindele ukuba ihlobo lifike. Asimangaliswa yiyo. Ukuba kukho isizukulwana esiya kungqina zonke izinto, ke silindele ukuba zonke izinto zenzeke ngaphakathi kwesizukulwana. Kwakhona, ukuba silindele ukuba kwenzeke ngaphakathi kwexesha elithile, akunakuba kubhekiswa kubukho bukaKristu kuba loo nto iyeza xa silindele.

Yonke le nto icace gca ngoku, kangangokuba usenokuzibuza ukuba amaNgqina kaYehova ayiphose njani. Ndiyiphose njani? Ewe, iQumrhu Elilawulayo linobuqhophololo obuncinci kwimikhono yalo. Bakhomba kuDaniel 12: 4 ethi "Baninzi abaya kuzula-zula, kwaye ulwazi lokwenyani luya kuba luninzi", kwaye bathi ngoku lixesha lokuba ulwazi lube luninzi, kwaye olo lwazi luquka ukuqonda amaxesha namaxesha ubeke igunya lakhe. Isuka e Insight incwadi esinayo:

Ukungaziqondi iziprofeto zikaDaniyeli ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane ye-19 kubonisa ukuba eli “xesha lesiphelo” elalixelwe kwangaphambili laliseza, kuba abo 'babenengqiqo,' abakhonzi bokwenene bakaThixo, babemele basiqonde esi siprofeto “ngexesha ukuphela. ”- Daniyeli 12: 9, 10.
(Insight, Umqulu 2 iphe. 1103 Ixesha Lesiphelo)

Ingxaki ngale ndlela yokucinga kukuba "banexesha lokuphela" elingalunganga. Imihla yokugqibela athetha ngayo uDaniyeli imalunga nemihla yokugqibela yenkqubo yezinto yamaJuda. Ukuba uyakuthandabuza oko, nceda ujonge le vidiyo apho sihlalutya ubungqina besi sigqibo ngokweenkcukacha. 

Oko bekuthethiwe, nokuba ufuna ukukholelwa ukuba uDaniel isahluko se-11 kunye ne-12 sinenzaliseko kulo mhla wethu, loo nto ayiwatshintshi amazwi kaYesu kubafundi ukuba amaxesha namaxesha okufika kwakhe yayiyinto kuphela Utata ukwazi. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, "ulwazi luyanda" aluthethi ukuba lonke ulwazi luyatyhilwa. Zininzi izinto eBhayibhileni esingaziqondiyo-kwanamhlanje, kuba ayiloxesha lokuba ziqondwe. Kukungabi nakuthini ukucinga ukuba uThixo angaluthatha ulwazi alufihle kuNyana wakhe, abapostile abali-12 nawo onke amaKrestu eNkulungwane yokuQala anikwe izipho zomoya-izipho zokuprofeta nokutyhila-azityhilele abanjengoStephen Lett, Anthony UMorris III, kunye nalo lonke iQumrhu Elilawulayo lamaNgqina kaYehova. Ewe, ukuba wayeyityhilile kubo, kutheni le nto beqhubeka nokungayifumani? Ngo-1914, ngo-1925, ngo-1975, ukubala nje abambalwa, kwaye ngoku sisizukulwana esiqhekezayo. Ndithetha ukuba, ukuba uThixo utyhila ulwazi oluyinyani malunga neempawu zokuza kukaKrestu, kutheni le nto siqhubeka sikufumana, kuphosakele kakhulu? Ngaba uThixo ungenawo amandla akhe okudlulisa inyaniso? Ngaba udlala ngathi? Ukuba nexesha elimnandi ngeendleko zethu njengoko siqhubeka nokulungiselela isiphelo, emva koko sithathelwe indawo ngumhla omtsha? 

Le asiyondlela kaBawo onothando.

Ke, uMateyu 24: 32-35 usebenza phi?

Masiyiqhekeze ibe ngamacandelo ayo. Masiqale ngenqaku lokuqala. Wayethetha ukuthini uYesu xa esithi “ukufuphi eminyango”. 

I-NIV iguqulela oku "ikufuphi" hayi "ukufuphi"; kwangokunjalo, iKing James Bible, New Heart English Bible, Douay-Rheims Bible, iDarby Bible Translation, iWebster's Bible Translation, iWorld English Bible, kunye neYoung's Literal Translation zonke ziguqulela “yona” endaweni yokuthi “yena”. Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba uLuka akathi "ukufuphi okanye sekusemnyango", kodwa "ubukumkani bukaThixo bukufuphi".

Ngaba uBukumkani bukaThixo abufani nobukho bukaKristu? Kuyacaca ukuba akunjalo, kungenjalo, siza kubuyela kwimpikiswano. Ukufumanisa ukuba u "yena", "bona", okanye "ubukumkani bukaThixo" budibana nantoni kule meko, kuya kufuneka sijonge kwezinye izinto.

Masiqale ngazo “zonke ezi zinto”. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, xa beyila umbuzo oqale sonke esi siprofeto, babuza uYesu, "Sixelele, ziyakwenzeka nini ezi zinto?" (Mateyu 24: 3).

Zeziphi izinto ababebhekisa kuzo? Umxholo, umxholo, umxholo! Makhe sijonge umxholo. Kwiindinyana ezimbini ezandulelayo, sifunda oku:

Ke kaloku xa uYesu wayevela etempileni, abafundi bakhe beza kumbonisa izakhiwo zetempile. Ephendula wathi kubo: “Aniziboni zonke ezi zinto? Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Akusayi kusala apha ilitye apha elityeni, lingaphantsi. ”(Mat. 24: 1, 2)

Ke, xa uYesu kamva esithi, "asisayi kudlula esi sizukulwana zingadanga zenzeke zonke ezi zinto", uthetha kwa ezo "zinto" zinye. Ukutshatyalaliswa kwesixeko kunye netempile yaso. Oko kusinceda siqonde ukuba sisiphi isizukulwana athetha ngaso. 

Uthi "esi sizukulwana". Ngoku ukuba wayethetha ngesizukulwana esingazukuvela eminye iminyaka engama-2,000 XNUMX njengoko amaNgqina esitsho, akunakulindeleka ukuba athi "le". "Oku" kubhekisa kwinto esesandleni. Nokuba kukho into ekhoyo ngokwasemzimbeni, okanye into ekhoyo ngokomxholo. Kwakukho isizukulwana esasikhona ngokwasemzimbeni nangokwemeko, kwaye akukho mathandabuzo okuba abafundi bakhe babenokwenza unxibelelwano. Kwakhona, ejonga umxholo, uvele nje wachitha iintsuku ezine zokugqibela eshumayela etempileni, egxeka uhanahaniso lweenkokheli zamaJuda, evakalisa nomgwebo esixekweni, etempileni nakubantu. Ngaloo mini, kanye ngalo mhla babuza lo mbuzo, xa beshiya itempile okokugqibela, wathi:

“Zinyokandini, nzalandini yamarhamba, niza kuwusaba njani umgwebo weGehena? Ngenxa yesi sizathu, ndithumela kuni abaprofeti nezilumko nabayaleli basesidlangalaleni. Abanye babo uya kubabulala ubenzele izibonda, kwaye abanye kubo uya kubohlwaya kwizindlu zakho zesikhungu kwaye utshutshise kwimizi ngemizi, ukuze lifike phezu kwakho lonke igazi elilungileyo elaphalazwa emhlabeni, ukusuka kwigazi lika-Abheli olilungisa Igazi likaZakariya unyana kaBharakiya, owambulalayo phakathi kwengcwele nesibingelelo. Inene ndithi kuwe, zonke ezi zinto iya kuza Esi sizukulwana. " (Mat. 23: 33-36)

Ngoku ndiyakubuza, ukuba ubukhona kwaye umvile esitsho, kwaye kamva kwangalo mini, kwiNtaba yemiNquma, ubuzile kuYesu, ukuba ziya kwenzeka nini zonke ezi zinto-kuba uya kuba nexhala kakhulu Yazi-ndithetha ukuthi, INkosi ixelele nje yonke into eniyinqabileyo kwaye ingcwele izakutshatyalaliswa-kwaye njengenxalenye yempendulo yakhe, uYesu uxelele ukuba 'esi sizukulwana asisayi kufa ngaphambi kokuba zenzeke zonke ezi zinto', awungekhe ugqibe kwelokuba abantu awayethetha nabo etempileni kunye nabo wayebabiza ngokuba "sesi sizukulwana" babeya kuba bayaphila bezobonakalisa intshabalalo awayixele kwangaphambili?

Umxholo!

Ukuba sithatha uMateyu 24: 32-35 njengasekutshutshisweni kweYerusalem ngenkulungwane yokuqala, sisombulula yonke imiba kwaye sisuse nayiphi na impikiswano ebonakalayo.

Kodwa sisalelwe ukuba sisombulule ukuba ngubani okanye kubhekiswa kubani xa esithi "usondele eminyango", okanye njengoko uLuka ekubeka, "uBukumkani bukaThixo busondele".

Ngokwembali, into eyayikufutshane eminyango yayinguMkhosi waseRoma owawukhokelwa nguNjengele Cestius Gallus ngo-66 CE kwaye emva koko ngu-General Titus ngo-70 CE UYesu wasixelela ukuba sisebenzise ukuqonda sijonge kumazwi kaDaniel umprofeti.

"Ke ngoko, xa ubona into elizothe ebangela isiphanziso, njengoko yathethwa nguDanyeli umprofeti, emi endaweni engcwele (umfundi makasebenzise ukuqonda),"

Ilunge kakhulu. 

Wathini umprofeti uDaniyeli ngalo mbandela?

“Kuya kufuneka uyazi kwaye uqonde ukuba ukususela ekunikezelweni kwelizwi lokuba ibuyiselwe kwaye yakhiwe kwakhona iYerusalem kude kuse kuMesiya iNkokeli, ziya kubakho iiveki ezisi-7, kunye neeveki ezingama-62. Iya kubuyiselwa kwaye yakhiwe kwakhona, kunye nendawo yembutho yoluntu kunye nomsila, kodwa ngamaxesha eembandezelo. Kwaye emva kweeveki ezingama-62, uMesiya uyakunqunyulwa, angabi nanto. “Kwaye abantu benkokeli ezayo baya kuwonakalisa umzi kunye nengcwele. Kwaye ukuphela kwayo kuya kuba ngomkhukula. Kude kube sekupheleni kuya kubakho imfazwe; kugqitywe kwelokuba kube senkangala. (Daniyeli 9:25, 26)

Abantu abatshabalalise isixeko nendawo engcwele yayingumkhosi wamaRoma — abantu bomkhosi waseRoma. Inkokheli yabo bantu yayiyinjengele yaseRoma. Xa uYesu wayesithi “ukufuphi eminyango”, ngaba wayebhekisa kulo Jenerali? Kodwa kusafuneka sisombulule intetho kaLuka ethi "uBukumkani bukaThixo" bukufuphi.

UBukumkani bukaThixo babukho ngaphambi kokuba uYesu athanjiswe njengoKristu. AmaJuda ayebukumkani bukaThixo emhlabeni. Nangona kunjalo, babeza kuphulukana nenqanaba, elaliza kunikwa amaKristu.

Nantsi ethatyathwe kwaSirayeli:

Kungenxa yoko le nto nditsho kuwe, ukuba uBukumkani bukaThixo buya kuthatyathwa kuwe, bunikwe uhlanga oluvelisa iziqhamo zabo. (Mat. 21:43)

Nantsi inikiwe kumaKristu:

"Usihlangule egunyeni lobumnyama wasifudusela ebukumkanini boNyana wakhe oyintanda," (KwabaseKolose 1:13)

Singangena eBukumkanini bukaThixo nangaliphi na ixesha:

“Akuqonda ke ukuba uYesu uphendule ngengqondo, wathi kuye:“ Akukho kude kubukumkani bukaThixo. ” (Marko 12: 34)

AbaFarisi babelindele urhulumente owoyisayo. Bayiphosa ngokupheleleyo inqaku.

“Xa ebuzwa ngabaFarisi ukuba uBukumkani bukaThixo buyeza nini, wabaphendula wathi:“ Ubukumkani bukaThixo abufiki ngokubonakala okuphawulekayo; bangatsho nokuthi, 'Nanku apha!' okanye, 'Apha!' Kuba, khangela! Ubukumkani bukaThixo buphakathi kwenu. ”(Luka 17: 20)

Kulungile, kodwa yintoni umkhosi wamaRoma onxulumene noBukumkani bukaThixo. Ewe, ngaba sicinga ukuba amaRoma ngewayekwazile ukutshabalalisa isizwe sakwaSirayeli, abantu abanyuliweyo bakaThixo, ukuba uThixo ebengafuni ukuba njalo? 

Cinga ngalo mzekeliso:

“Ngokuphendula kwakhona uYesu waphinda wathetha nabo ngemifanekiso, esithi:“ Ubukumkani bamazulu bufana nomntu, ukumkani, owamenzela unyana wakhe isidlo somtshato. Kwaye wathumela amakhoboka akhe ukuya kubiza abo babemenyiwe kumsitho womtshato, kodwa babengavumi ukuza. Wabuya wathumela amanye amakhoboka, esithi, 'Yitshoni kwabo bamenyiweyo: “Khangelani! Ndilungiselele isidlo sam sangokuhlwa, iinkunzi zam zeenkomo kunye nexhego lityetyisiwe, zonke izinto zilungile. Yiza kumtshato. ”'Kodwa bengakhathali bemkile, omnye waya kwintsimi yakhe, omnye waya kwishishini lakhe lokuthengisa; kodwa okuseleyo, babamba izicaka zakhe, zabaphatha gadalala, bababulala. Ke kaloku waqumba ukumkani, wayithumela imikhosi yakhe, wabatshabalalisa abo babulali, wawutshisa nomzi wabo. (Mt 22: 1-7)

UYehova walungiselela umsitho woNyana wakhe, kwaye izimemo zokuqala zaya kubantu bakhe, amaJuda. Kodwa abavumanga ukuya, kwaye okubi ngakumbi, babulala abakhonzi bakhe. Wathumela ke imikhosi yakhe (amaRoma) ukuba ibulale ababulali, itshise nomzi wabo (iYerusalem). Ukumkani wenza le nto. Ubukumkani bukaThixo buyenzile le nto. Xa amaRoma enza ukuthanda kukaThixo, uBukumkani bukaThixo babukufuphi.

KuMateyu 24: 32-35 kunye nakuMateyu 24: 15-22, uYesu unika abafundi bakhe imiyalelo engqalileyo malunga noko bamele bakwenze kunye nemiqondiso ukubonisa ukuba bazilungiselela nini ezi zinto.

Bayibonile imvukelo yamaJuda eyagxotha ikampu yamaRoma kweso sixeko. Babona ukubuya komkhosi wamaRoma. Bafumana isiphithiphithi kunye nengxabano ukusuka kwiminyaka yohlaselo lwamaRoma. Babone ukungqingwa kokuqala kwesixeko kunye nokubuyela umva kwamaRoma. Ngebabesazi ngakumbi ukuba iYerusalem yayisondele. Kodwa xa kufikwa kubukho bakhe obuthenjisiweyo, uYesu usixelela ukuba uza kuza njengesela ngexesha ebesingalilindelanga. Akasiniki miqondiso.

Kutheni usenza lo mahluko? Kutheni le nto amaKristu enkulungwane yokuqala efumana ithuba elingaka lokulungiselela? Kutheni le nto amaKristu namhlanje engazi ukuba kufuneka okanye alungiselele ubukho bukaKristu? 

Kuba kufuneka balungiselele kwaye asiyenzi. 

Kwimeko yamaKristu enkulungwane yokuqala, kwakufuneka athathe amanyathelo athile ngexesha elithile. Ngaba unokucinga ukuba ubaleka kuyo yonke into onayo? Ngenye imini uvuka kwaye ngumhla lowo. Ngaba unayo indlu? Yiyeke. Ngaba uneshishini? Hamb 'umshiye. Ngaba unosapho kunye nabahlobo abangakholelwayo kwinkolelo yakho? Bashiye bonke –shiya bonke ngasemva. Nje kanjalo. Kwaye uye kwilizwe elikude ongazange walazi nakwikamva elingaqinisekanga. Konke onako kukukholwa kwakho eluthandweni lweNkosi.

Kuya kuba kukungabi naluthando, ukutsho ubuncinci, ukulindela ukuba ubani enze loo nto ngaphandle kokubanika ixesha lokuba balungiselele ngokwengqondo nangokweemvakalelo.

Ke kutheni amaKrestu anamhlanje engafumani thuba elifanayo lokuzilungiselela? Kutheni le nto singafumani zonke iintlobo zemiqondiso yokwazi ukuba uKrestu ukufuphi? Kutheni le nto uKristu kufuneka eze njengesela, ngexesha esingalindelanga ukuba angafika ngalo? Ndiyakholelwa ukuba impendulo, ilele kwinto yokuba akukho mfuneko yakwenza nto ngalo mzuzu ngelo xesha. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba sishiye nantoni na size sibalekele kwenye indawo ngesaziso somzuzwana. UKristu uthumela iingelosi zakhe ukuba zisihlanganise. U-Kristu uya kukukhathalela ukusinda kwethu. Uvavanyo lwethu lokholo luza mihla le ngendlela yokuphila ubomi bobuKristu kunye nokuma kwimigaqo uKristu asinike yona ukuba siyilandele.

Kutheni ndikholelwa oko? Sithini isiseko sam sezibhalo? Kuthekani ngobukho bukaKristu? Kwenzeka nini oko? IBhayibhile ithi:

Kwaoko ke, emveni kwembandezelo yaloo mihla, ilanga liya kwenziwa mnyama, inyanga inganikezeli ukukhanya kwayo, neenkwenkwezi ziwe ezulwini, athi namandla amazulu azanyazanyiswa. Uya kubonakala ngelo xesha umqondiso woNyana woMntu ezulwini, kwaye zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziya kuba buhlungu, zibone uNyana woMntu esiza esemafini ezulu enamandla nobuqaqawuli obukhulu. (Mat. 24:29, 30)

Ngokukhawuleza emva kwaloo mbandezelo!? Yeyiphi imbandezelo? Ngaba kufuneka sijonge imiqondiso kwimihla yethu? Azaliseka nini la magama, okanye njengoko ama-Preterists esitsho, sele ezalisekisiwe? Konke oku kuya kugutyungelwa icandelo le-10.

Okwangoku, enkosi kakhulu ngokubukela.
