Siyakwamkela emva. Le yinxalenye ye-10 yohlalutyo lwakho lovavanyo lukaMateyu 24.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, sichithe ixesha elininzi sisusa zonke iimfundiso ezingeyonyani kunye nokuchazwa kwesiprofeto okwenze umonakalo omkhulu kukholo lwezigidi zamaKristu anyanisekileyo athembekileyo kwiinkulungwane ezimbini ezidlulileyo. Sibubonile ubulumko beNkosi yethu ngokusilumkisa ngemigibe yokutolika iziganeko eziqhelekileyo ezinje ngeemfazwe okanye iinyikima njengemiqondiso yokuza kwayo. Sibonile ukuba wabasindisa njani abafundi bakhe ekutshatyalalisweni kweYerusalem ngokubanika imiqondiso ebonakalayo ukuba bahambe ngayo. Kodwa inye into esingakhange siyenze yinto enye esichaphazelayo ngokobuqu: ubukho bakhe; ukubuya kwakhe njengoKumkani. Uya kubuya nini uYesu Kristu azokulawula umhlaba kwaye axolelanise lonke uhlanga lwabantu kusapho lukaThixo?

U-Yesu wayesazi ukuba indalo yomntu iya kudala kuthi sonke ixhala lokufuna ukwazi impendulo kulo mbuzo. Wayeyazi nento yokuba oko kunokusenza silahlekiswe ngabantu abanganyanisekanga nabaxoka. Okwangoku, emva komdlalo, amaKristu asisiseko njengamaNgqina kaYehova acinga ukuba ubhubhane wecoronavirus luphawu lokuba uYesu sele eza kuvela. Bafunda amazwi kaYesu esilumkiso, kodwa ngandlela thile, bawajikisa ngokuchasene noko akutshoyo.

Kwakhona uYesu wasilumkisa ngokuphindaphindiweyo malunga namaxhoba abaprofeti bobuxoki kunye nabathanjiswa bobuxoki. Izilumkiso zakhe ziyaqhubeka kwiivesi esiza kuzijonga, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba sizifunde, ndifuna ukwenza ulingelo oluncinci lokucinga.

Ngaba unokuyithelekelela okomzuzwana into ekuba yiyo ukuba ngumKristu eYerusalem ngowama-66 CE xa esi sixeko sasingqongwe ngowona mkhosi mkhulu ngelo xesha, umkhosi waseRoma owawungoyiswa ngokoyikiswa? Zibeke apho ngoku. Kwiindonga zeso sixeko, uyawabona amaRoma akha uthango lwezibonda ezibaziweyo ukuze ungabaleki, kanye njengoko uYesu waxela kwangaphambili. Xa ubona amaRoma esenza i-Tortuga yabo yokukhusela i-Tortuga ukuze kulungiswe isango letempile ngaphambi kokuba lihlasele, ukhumbule amazwi kaYesu ngento enyanyekayo emi kwindawo engcwele. Yonke into iyenzeka njengoko kwaxelwa kwangaphambili, kodwa ukusinda kubonakala kungenakwenzeka. Abantu batyhafile kwaye kukho intetho eninzi yokunikezela, kodwa oko ngekhe kuzalisekise amazwi eNkosi.

Ingqondo yakho ikwisiphithiphithi sokudideka. UYesu ukuxelele ukuba ubaleke xa ubona le miqondiso, kodwa njani? Ukubaleka ngoku kubonakala kuyinto engenakwenzeka. Uya kulala ngobo busuku, kodwa ulale ngokulingeneyo. Utyiwa lixhala lokugcina usapho lwakho.

Kusasa kwenzeke into engummangaliso. Kufika ilizwi lokuba amaRoma ahambe. Ngokucacileyo, wonke umkhosi wamaRoma uzisonge iintente zawo wasaba. Imikhosi yamajoni yamaYuda iyasukela. Luloyiso olukhulu! Umkhosi wamaRoma onamandla ubambe umsila wabaleka. Wonke umntu uthi uThixo kaSirayeli wenze ummangaliso. Kodwa wena, njengomKristu, uyazi ngenye indlela. Nangona kunjalo, ngaba ngenene kufuneka ubaleke ungxamile? U-Yesu wathi makangabuyeli ukuyokulanda izinto zakho, kodwa phuma ngaphandle kwesixekokazi. Ukanti unekhaya lokhokho bakho, ishishini lakho, izinto ezininzi ekufuneka uziqwalasele. Kukho nezalamane zakho ezingakholwayo.

Kukho intetho eninzi yokuba uMesiya ufikile. Ngoku, uBukumkani bakwa-Israyeli buya kubuyiselwa. Nabanye abazalwana bakho abangamaKristu bayathetha ngale nto. Ukuba uMesiya uye weza ngokwenene, kutheni ke ubaleka ngoku?

Ngaba uyalinda, okanye uyahamba? Esi ayisosigqibo sincinci. Lukhetho lobomi nokufa. Emva koko, amazwi kaYesu abuyela engqondweni yakho.

“Ke ukuba nabani na uthi kuni, 'Khangela! Nanko uKrestu, nokuba uthe, Nanko ke. musa ukukholwa. Kuba kuya kuvela ooKristu ababuxoki, nabaprofeti ababuxoki, benze imiqondiso emikhulu nemimangaliso yokulahlekisa nabanyuliweyo, ukuba kunokwenzeka. Khangela! Ndinilumkisile kwangaphambili. Ke, ukuba abantu bathi kuni, 'Khangela! Usentlango, 'musani ukuphuma; 'Khangela! Kwigumbi elingaphakathi, 'musani ukukholwa. Kuba kwanjengokuba umbane uphuma kwiindawo ezingasempumalanga, ubengezela, usiya entshonalanga, buya kuba njalo ubukho boNyana woMntu. (Mateyu 24: 23-27 INguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha)

Kwaye, ngala mazwi enkenteza ezindlebeni zakho, uqokelela usapho lwakho kwaye ubalekela ezintabeni. Usindisiwe.

Ukuthetha ngenxa yabaninzi, abathi, njengam, bamamele abantu besixelela ukuba uKristu weza ngokungabonakali, ngokungathi ukwigumbi elifihliweyo okanye kukude namehlo entlango, ndingangqina ukuba inkohliso inamandla kangakanani, kwaye njani Ibeka kumnqweno wethu wokwazi izinto uThixo azikhethileyo ukuba azifihle. Isenza ukuba sijolise lula kwiingcuka ezambethe ufele lwegusha ezifuna ukulawula nokuxhaphaza abanye.

UYesu usixelela phandle ukuba: “Musani ukukholwa!” Oku akusiyo ingcebiso evela kwiNkosi yethu. Lo ngumyalelo wasebukhosini kwaye akufuneki ukuba singathobeli.

Emva koko ususa konke ukuqiniseka malunga nendlela esiya kwazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba ubukho bakhe sele buqalile. Masiphinde siyifunde loo nto.

Kuba kwanjengokuba umbane uphuma kwiindawo ezingasempumalanga, ubengezela, ubonakale kude kuse entshonalanga, buya kuba njalo ubukho boNyana woMntu. (Mt 24: 23-27 NWT)

Ndikhumbula ndisekhaya ngokuhlwa, ndibukele umabonwakude, xa kudanyaza imibane. Ngaphandle kokumfanyekiswa kweemfama, ukukhanya kwakuqaqambe kangangokuba kwavuza ngaphakathi. Ndazi ukuba kukho uqhwithela ngaphandle, nditsho naphambi kokuba ndive ukuduma.

Kwakutheni ukuze uYesu enze lo mzekeliso? Khawuqwalasele oku: Wayesandula ukusixelela ukuba singakholelwa nabani-NOMNTU-esithi bayazi ngobukho bukaKristu. Emva koko usinika umzekeliso okhanyayo. Ukuba umi ngaphandle — masithi usepakini — xa umbane ubaneka esibhakabhakeni kwaye lo mntu usecaleni kwakho ukunkqonkqoza athi, “Hee, uyazi? Umbane uvele wabaneka. ” Ungamjonga kwaye ucinge, “Sisibhanxa esinjani sona. Ngaba ucinga ukuba ndingaboni? ”

UYesu usixelela ukuba awuzukufuna mntu ukuba axelele ngobukho bakhe kuba uya kukwazi ukuzibona ngokwakho. Umbane awukho kwaphela kwihlelo. Ayibonakali kuphela kumakholwa, kodwa hayi kwabangakholwayo; kubafundi, kodwa hayi kwabangafundanga; kwizilumko, kodwa kweziyatha. Wonke umntu uyayibona kwaye uyazi ukuba iyintoni.

Ngoku, ngelixa isilumkiso sakhe sasijolise ngqo kubafundi bakhe abangamaJuda ababeza kuphila ngexesha lokungqingwa ngamaRoma, ucinga ukuba kukho umda osikiweyo? Akunjalongo noko. Uthe ubukho bakhe buya kubonakala njengombane obengezelayo esibhakabhakeni. Ngaba ukhe wayibona? Ngaba kukho umntu obubonileyo ubukho bakhe? Hayi? Ke isilumkiso sisasebenza.

Khumbula esikufundileyo ngobukho bakhe kwividiyo engaphambili kolu luhlu. UYesu wayenguMesiya iminyaka emi-3½, kodwa “ubukho” bakhe babungekaqali. Igama linentsingiselo kwisiGrike esilahlekileyo kwisiNgesi. Igama lesiGrike ngu parousia kwaye kwimeko kaMateyu 24, ibhekisa ekungeneni kwendawo yamandla amatsha nalawoyisa. U Yesu weza (ngesiGrike, eleusis) njengoMesiya kwaye wabulawa. Kodwa xa ebuya, iya kuba bubukho bakhe (ngesiGrike, parousia) ukuba iintshaba zakhe ziya kungqina; Ukungena kukaKumkani woyisayo.

Ubukho bukaKristu abukhanyisanga esibhakabhakeni ukuze babonwe bonke ngo-1914, kwaye abuzange bubonwe ngenkulungwane yokuqala. Kodwa ngaphandle kwalonto, sinobungqina beZibhalo.

“Andithandi ke ukuba ningazi, bazalwana, mayela nabalele ukufa, ukuze ningabi buhlungu njengabanye abangenathemba; kuba xa sikholwa ukuba uYesu wafa, wabuya wavuka, kwangokunjalo naye uThixo Uya kulala noYesu ke uya kuza naye; kuba oku siyakutsho kuni ngelizwi leNkosi ukuthi, thina babudlayo ubomi, baya kuba besekho ebusweni beNkosi, asinako ukubaphambi kwabo baleleyo, ngokuba yiNkosi ngokwayo. ngentswahla, ngelizwi lesithunywa esiyintloko, kunye nexilongo likaThixo, baya kuhla ezulwini, kwaye abafele kuKrestu baya kuvuka kuqala, emva koko thina baphilayo, basaseleyo, kunye nabo sixwilelwe emafini, siye kuyikhawulela iNkosi esibhakabhakeni, siyakuhlala sihleli neNkosi… ”(1 kwabaseTesalonika 4: 13-17).

Kubukho bukaKristu, uvuko lokuqala lwenzeka. Ayisiyiyo kuphela abathembekileyo abavusiweyo, kodwa kwangaxeshanye, abo baphilayo baya kuguqulwa bathathwe bayokuhlangana neNkosi. (Ndisebenzise igama elithi "uxhwilo" ukuchaza le vidiyo idlulileyo, kodwa omnye wababukeli ophaphileyo utsalele ingqalelo yam kumbutho eli gama linombono wokuba wonke umntu uya ezulwini. Ndiza kuyibiza le “nguqu”.)

UPawulos ubhekisa koku xa ebhalela abase-Korinthe:

“Khangela! Ndithi kuni, Imfihlelo engcwele: Asisayi kulala ekufeni sonke, kodwa sonke siya kutshintshwa, okomzuzwana, ngokuqaqamba kweliso, ngexesha lexilongo lokugqibela. Kuba liya kukhala ixilongo, bavuse abafileyo, bangonakali, siguqulwe. (1 Kor. 15:51, 52 NWT)

Ngoku, ukuba ubukho bukaKrestu babubekhona ngo-70 CE, ngekungekho maKristu aseleyo emhlabeni ukuze aqhubeke nokushumayela okusifikise kwinqanaba apho isinye kwisithathu sehlabathi sibanga ukuba singamaKristu. Kwangokunjalo, ukuba ubukho bukaKrestu babusenzeka ngo-1914-njengoko amaNgqina esitsho- kwaye ukuba abathanjiswa abalele ekufeni bavuswa ngo-1919-kwakhona, njengoko amaNgqina esitsho-ngoku kwenzeka njani ukuba basekhona abathanjiswa kuMbutho namhlanje? Bekufanele ukuba bonke baguqulwa ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso ngo-1919.

Ewe kunjalo, nokuba sithetha ngo-70 CE okanye u-1914 okanye nawuphi na omnye umhla kwimbali, ukunyamalala ngesiquphe kwenani labantu bekuya kushiya uphawu kwimbali. Ukungabikho kwesiganeko esinjalo kwaye kungekho ngxelo yokubonakala okubonakalayo kokufika kukaKrestu njengoKumkani-ngokuhambelana nokubengezela okudanyazayo esibhakabhakeni-sinokuthi ngokukhuselekileyo kusamele abuye.

Ukuba ukuthandabuza kuhleli, qwalasela esi Sibhalo sithetha ngento aya kuyenza uKrestu ebusweni bakhe:

Ngoku mayela nokuza [Parousia - “Ubukho”] beNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu kunye nokuhlangana kwethu kuye, siyanicela, bazalwana, ukuba singaphazanyiswa okanye sonwabe ngawo nawuphi na umoya okanye umyalezo okanye ileta ebonakala ngathi ivela kuthi, sisithi iMini yeNkosi sele efikile. Makungabikho namnye unilukuhlayo nangayiphi na indlela, kuba ayiyi kuza, kude kufuneke imvukelo, kwaye kutyhilwe umntu ongendawo, unyana wentshabalalo. Uya kuchasa kwaye aziphakamise ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababizwa ngokuba thixo okanye into enquliweyo. Ke uya kuhlala etempileni kaThixo, ezivuma ukuba nguThixo. (2 Tes. 2: 1-5 BSB)

Ukuqhubeka kwiivesi 7:

Kuba imfihlakalo yokuchas 'umthetho sele isebenza, kodwa lowo uyinqwenelayo ngoku uya kuqhubeka de akhutshwe. Kwaye ke uya kutyhilwa lowo ungendawo, lowo iNkosi uYesu iya kumbulala ngompefumlo womlomo wayo kwaye iwubhangise ngobungangamsha bokufika kwayo [Parousia - "Ubukho"].

“Ukuza [Parousia - “Ubukho”] yalowo ungekho mthethweni uya kuhamba kunye nokusebenza kukaSathana, ngalo lonke uhlobo lwamandla, imiqondiso, nommanga wobuxoki, nayo yonke inkohliso engendawo eqondiswe kwabo batshabalalayo, ngenxa yokuba bala uthando lwenyani. ngewabasindisile. Ngesi sizathu ke, uThixo uya kubathumela inkohliso enamandla, ukuze bakholwe bubuxoki, ukuze isigwebo sifike kubo bonke abangakholwanga yinyaniso nabonwabileyo ngobubi. (2 Tes. 2: 7-12 BSB)

Ngaba ungakho nakuphi na ukuthandabuza ukuba lo ungenamthetho usasebenza kwaye wenza kakuhle kakhulu, enkosi kakhulu. Okanye ngaba unqulo lobuxoki kunye nobuKristu obuwexukileyo buye baphela? Okwangoku, kubonakala ngathi. Abaphathiswa abazifihle ngobulungisa bobuxoki basaphethe kakhulu. UYesu kusafuneka agwebe, "ambulale ambulale" lo mchasi-mthetho.

Ke ngoku sifika kwinqanaba elinengxaki likaMateyu 24: 29-31. Ifundeka ngolu hlobo:

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 kuzibetha zibuhlungu, zimbone uNyana woMntu esiza esemafini ezulu enamandla nobuqaqawuli obukhulu. Kwaye uya kuthumela iingelosi zakhe zinesandi esikhulu sexilongo, ziqokelele ndawonye abanyuliweyo bakhe kwiimoya zozibini, kuthabathela esiphelweni sezulu kude kuse kwesinye isiphelo sawo. (Mat. 24: 29-31 NWT)

Kutheni le nto ndiyibiza ngokuba yondlela inengxaki?

Kubonakala ngathi iyathetha ngobukho bukaKristu, akunjalo? Unophawu loNyana woMntu obonakala ezulwini. Wonke umntu emhlabeni, okholwayo nongakholwayo ngokufanayo uyayibona. Emva koko kuya kuvela uKrestu ngokwakhe.

Ndicinga ukuba uyakuvuma ukuba kuvakala ngathi kukukhanyisela umboniso wezulu. Unexilongo elikhalayo emva koko abakhethiweyo bayahlanganiswa. Sifunda nje amazwi kaPawulos aya kwabaseTesalonika kunye nabaseKorinte ahambelana namazwi kaYesu apha. Ke, yintoni ingxaki? UYesu uchaza iziganeko kwikamva lethu, akunjalo?

Ingxaki kukuba uthi zonke ezi zinto zenzeka "kwangoko emva kwembandezelo yaloo mihla ...".

Umntu uya kucinga ukuba ngokwenyani uYesu ubonakalisa imbandezelo eyenzeka ngo-66 CE, eyanqunyulwa kancinci. Ukuba kunjalo, ke ngekhe athethe ngobukho bakhe obuzayo, kuba sele sigqibile ukuba uguquko lwamaKristu aphilayo alukenzeki kwaye akukaze kubekho ukubonakaliswa kwamandla obukumkani bukaYesu obangqinwa ngabo bonke abantu Umhlaba oya kuzisa intshabalalo yalowo ungendawo.

Inene, bayasigculela besithi, Buphi obu bukho bakhe buthenjisiweyo? Kuba, kususela kwimini yokufa kukaokhokho bethu ekufeni, zonke izinto ziyaqhubeka kanye njengoko zinjalo kwasekuqalekeni kwendalo. ” (2 Petros 3: 4)

Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uMateyu 24: 29-31 uthetha ngobukho bukaYesu. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba kukho inkcazo efanelekileyo yokusetyenziswa kwegama "kwangoko emva kwembandezelo enkulu". Nangona kunjalo, ngaphambi kokungena kuyo, kuya kuba kufanelekile ukuqaphela elinye icala lengqekembe, umbono ogcinwe ziiPreterists.

(Enkosi ngokukhethekileyo "kwilizwi elivakalayo" ngale nkcukacha.)

Siza kuqala ngevesi 29:

Kodwa ke, emveni kwembandezelo yaloo mihla, ilanga liya kwenziwa mnyama, ithi inyanga inganiki khanyiselelo, iinkwenkwezi ziwe ezulwini, athi namandla amazulu azanyazanyiswa. (Mateyu 24: 29 Darby Translation)

Imifanekiso efanayo yasetyenziswa nguThixo esebenzisa u-Isaya xa wayeprofeta ngokubhekisele kwiBhabheli.

Iinkwenkwezi zezulu kunye nemikhosi yazo
ayizukubanika ukukhanya kwabo.
Ilanga eliphuma liya kuba mnyama,
nenyanga ayinakukhanyisa.
(U-Isaya 13: 10)

Ngaba uYesu wayethetha umzekeliso ofanayo xa kutshatyalaliswa iYerusalem? Mhlawumbi, kodwa masingafikeleli nakwesiphi na isigqibo esisifikileyo, ngoba isifaniso siyangqinelana nobukho bexesha elizayo, ngoko ke ayisiqinisekisi ukuba inokusebenza kuphela kwiYerusalem.

Indinyana elandelayo kuMateyu ifundeka ngolu hlobo:

“Kwaye ngelo xesha kuya kubonakala umqondiso woNyana woMntu ezulwini; Ziya kwandula ke zonke izizwe zomhlaba zibhomboloze, kwaye ziya kumbona uNyana woMntu esiza esemafini ezulu enamandla nobuqaqawuli obukhulu. (Mat. 24:30 Darby)

Kukho enye into ebangela umdla efumaneka kuIsaya 19: 1 ethi:

Isihlabo esisingisele kwiYiputa. Uyabona, uYehova ukhwele efini elinamendu, uza eYiputa. Ziyaqubuda kuye izithixo ezingento zaseYiputa phambi kwakhe, intliziyo yeYiputa inyibilika phakathi kwayo. (Darby)

Ke, isikweko esiza-ngamafu sibonwa njengesibonisa ukufika kokumkani owoyisayo kunye / okanye nexesha lomgwebo. Oko kunokufana ngokomfuziselo noko kwenzeka eYerusalem. Oku akuthethi ukuba bawubona ngokwenene “umqondiso woNyana woMntu ezulwini” kwaye emva koko bambona ngokoqobo “esiza ngamafu ezulu enamandla nobuqaqawuli obukhulu”. Ngaba amaYuda aseYerusalem naseJudiya ayabona ukuba intshabalalo yayingengokwesandla samaRoma, kodwa yayisisandla sikaThixo?

Abanye balatha koko uYesu wakuxelela iinkokeli zonqulo kwityala lakhe njengenkxaso yokusebenzisa uMateyu 24:30 ngenkulungwane yokuqala. Wathi kubo: “Ndithi kuni nonke, Ukususela ngoku niya kumbona uNyana woMntu ehleli ngasekunene kwamandla, esiza namafu ezulu.” (UMateyu 26:64 BSB)

Nangona kunjalo, khange athi, “njengokuba ixesha lizakubona uNyana woMntu…” kodwa kunoko “ukusukela ngoku”. Ukusukela ngeloxesha ukuya phambili, kuyakubakho imiqondiso ebonisa ukuba u Yesu uhleli ngasekunene kwaMandla, kwaye uzakuza ngamafu ezulu. Leyo miqondiso ayifikanga ngo-70 CE, kodwa ekufeni kwakhe xa ikhethini eyahlula iNgcwele neYona Ngcwele yaqhekeka kubini ngesandla sikaThixo, kwaza ubumnyama bagubungela umhlaba, kwaza inyikima yalugungqisa uhlanga. Imiqondiso nayo ayizange iyeke. Kungekudala kwabakho abathanjiswa abaninzi ababehambahamba elizweni, besenza imiqondiso yokuphilisa eyayenziwe nguYesu kwaye beshumayela ngoKrestu ovusiweyo.

Ngelixa nayiphi na into enye yesiprofetho inokubonakala ngathi inezicelo ezingaphezulu kwesinye, xa sijonga zonke iivesi xa zizonke, ngaba kuvela umfanekiso owahlukileyo?

Umzekelo, xa sijonga indinyana yesithathu, sifunda oku:

"Kwaye uya kuthumela iingelosi zakhe ngesandi esikhulu sexilongo, ziqokelele ndawonye abantu bakhe abanyuliweyo, bevela koomoya abane, bethabathela esiphelweni sezulu [kuse] kwesinye isiphelo sabo [amazulu]. (Mateyu 24: 31 Darby)

Kucetyisiwe ukuba iNdumiso 98 icacisa ukusebenza kwendinyana yama-31. Kuloo Ndumiso, sibona imigwebo kaYehova yobulungisa ikhatshwa kukuvuthelwa kwamaxilongo, kwanemilambo iqhwaba izandla, neentaba zimemelela ngovuyo. Kukwacetyisiwe ukuba ukusukela ukubizwa kwexilongo kwakusetyenziselwa ukuqokelela abantu bakwa-Israyeli kunye, ukusetyenziswa kwexilongo kwindima yama-31 kubhekisa ekukhululweni kwabakhethiweyo eYerusalem emva kokurhoxa kwamaRoma.

Abanye bathi ukuhlanganiswa kwabanyulwa ziingelosi kuthetha ukuhlanganiswa kwamaKristu ukususela ngelo xesha ukuya kuthi ga kumhla wethu.

Ke, ukuba ufuna ukukholelwa ukuba uMateyu 24: 29-31 wazaliseka ngexesha lokutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem, okanye ukusuka ngelo xesha ukuya phambili, kubonakala ngathi kukho indlela ekufuneka uyilandile.

Nangona kunjalo, ndicinga ukuba ukujonga isiprofetho xa sisonke kwaye kungaphakathi kwiZibhalo zamaKristu, endaweni yokubuyela emva kwiminyaka engamakhulu amaxesha nangaphambi kobuKristu kunye nemibhalo, kuya kusikhokelela kwisiphelo esonelisayo nesivumelanayo.

Makhe siqwalasele.

Ibinzana lokuvula lithi zonke ezi ziganeko zenzeka kwangoko emva kwembandezelo yaloo mihla. Eziphi iintsuku? Unokucinga ukuba uyayikhonkxa iYerusalem kuba uYesu uthetha ngembandezelo enkulu echaphazela isixeko kwivesi 21. Nangona kunjalo, siyayijonga into yokuba wayethetha ngeembandezelo ezimbini. Kwivesi 9 sifunda oku:

“Ke abantu baya kuninikela embandezelweni, banibulale, nithiywe ziintlanga zonke ngenxa yegama lam.” (Mat. 24: 9)

Le mbandezelo yayingaphelelanga kumaJuda, kodwa ifikelela kuzo zonke iintlanga. Iqhubeka nanamhlanje. Kwinxalenye yesi-8 yolu ngcelele, sibonile ukuba kukho isizathu sokujonga imbandezelo enkulu yesiTyhilelo 7:14 njengeqhubekayo, hayi njengesiganeko sokugqibela esandulela iArmagedon, njengoko abantu bekholelwa njalo. Ke, ukuba siyajonga ukuba uYesu uthetha kuMateyu 24:29 ngembandezelo enkulu kubo bonke abakhonzi abathembekileyo bakaThixo ukutyhubela ixesha, xa loo mbandezelo igqityiwe, iziganeko zikaMateyu 24:29 ziyaqala. Oko kuyakubeka ukuzaliseka kwikamva lethu. Indawo enjalo iyahambelana nengxelo efanayo ekuLuka.

“Kwaye kuya kubakho imiqondiso elangeni nasenyangeni nasezinkwenkwezini, nasemhlabeni ukubandezeleka kweentlanga engayazi indlela yokuphuma ngenxa yokugquma kolwandle nokuguguma kwalo. Abantu baya kudinwa ngenxa yoloyiko nokulindela izinto ezilizelayo elimiweyo, kuba amandla ezulu aya kuzanyazanyiswa. Baya kumbona ke ngelo xesha, uNyana woMntu esiza ngelifu, enamandla nobuqaqawuli obukhulu. (Luka 21: 25-27)

Okwenzekileyo ukusukela ngonyaka wama-66 ukuya kowama-70 CE akuzange kuzise uxinzelelo kwizizwe zehlabathi, koko kwazisa kuphela uSirayeli. Ingxelo kaLuka ayibonakali ngathi ijibe ngokuzaliseka kwenkulungwane yokuqala.

KuMateyu 24: 3, siyabona ukuba abafundi babuza umbuzo onamacandelo amathathu. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ekuqwalaselweni kwethu, sifundile ukuba uYesu uphendule njani kula malungu mathathu:

Inxalenye 1 ibisithi: "Ziya kubakho nini zonke ezi zinto?" Oku kubhekisele ekutshatyalalisweni kwesixeko kunye netempile awayethethe ngayo ngomhla wakhe wokugqibela eshumayela etempileni.

Icandelo 2 lalisithi: "Uya kuba yintoni umqondiso wokuphela kwexesha?", Okanye njengoko iNguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha isitsho, "isiphelo senkqubo yezinto". Oko kwazaliseka xa “ubukumkani bukaThixo babuthatyathiweyo kubo, banikwa uhlanga oluvelisa iziqhamo zabo.” (Mateyu 21:43) Obona bungqina bokwenzekileyo yayikukushenxiswa ngokupheleleyo kohlanga lwamaYuda. Ukuba babengabantu bakaThixo abanyuliweyo, ngewayengazange avumele ukuba kutshatyalaliswe isixeko kunye netempile. Kude kube ngoku, iYerusalem sisixeko esiphikiswayo.

Into engekhoyo kuqwalaselo lwethu yimpendulo yakhe kwinxalenye yesithathu yombuzo. Uya kuba yintoni na umqondiso wobukho bakho? ”

Ukuba amazwi akhe akuMateyu 24: 29-31 azaliseka ngenkulungwane yokuqala, uya kuthi ke uYesu asishiye singenampendulo yento yesithathu yombuzo. Oko kuya kuba kukungafani naye. Ubuncinci, ngewayesixelele, "Andinakuphendula lo nto." Umzekelo, wayekhe wathi, "Zininzi izinto endinokuzithetha nawe, kodwa awukwazi ukuzithwala ngoku." (Yohane 16:12) Ngesinye isihlandlo, ngokufanayo nombuzo wabo kwiNtaba yemiNquma, bambuza ngokungqalileyo, “Ngaba uza kububuyisela uBukumkani bakwaSirayeli ngeli xesha?” Akazange awutyeshele lo mbuzo okanye abashiye bengenampendulo. Endaweni yoko, wabaxelela ngokungqalileyo ukuba impendulo yinto abavunyelwe ukuyazi.

Ke, kubonakala ngathi akunakulindeleka ukuba awushiye umbuzo, "Uyakuba yintoni umqondiso wobukho bakho?", Engaphendulwanga. Okona kuncinci, angasixelela ukuba asivumelekanga ukuba sazi impendulo.

Ngaphezulu kwayo yonke le nto, kukho ubume besilumkiso malunga nokungathathwa ngamabali obuxoki ngobukho bakhe. Ukusuka kwivesi 15 ukuya ku-22 unika abafundi bakhe imiyalelo ngendlela yokusinda ngobomi babo. Ke nge-23 ukuya kwi-28 unika iinkcukacha ngendlela yokuphepha ukulahlekiswa ngamabali ngobukho bakhe. Uqukumbela ngelithi ngokubaxelela ubukho bakhe buya kubonakala ngokulula kubo bonke njengokukhanya esibhakabhakeni. Emva koko uchaza imicimbi eya kulunga ngokuchanekileyo. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ukuza kukaYesu ngamafu ezulu kuya kuba lula ukubona nje umbane odanyaza usuka empuma uye entshona kwaye ukhanyisa isibhakabhaka.

Ekugqibeleni, iSityhilelo 1: 7 sithi, “Khangela! Uza ngamafu, kwaye onke amehlo aya kumbona… ”Oku kuyahambelana noMateyu 24:30 othi:“… baya kumbona uNyana woMntu esiza esemafini… ”. Kuba iSityhilelo sabhalwa kwiminyaka emva kokuwa kweYerusalem, oku kwalatha kwinzaliseko yexesha elizayo.

Ke ngoku, xa sisiya kwindinyana yokugqibela, sinako:

"Kwaye uya kuthumela iingelosi zakhe ngesandi esikhulu sexilongo, kwaye ziya kubaqokelela abanyulwa bakhe kwimimoya yomine, zithabathele esiphelweni sezulu kude kuse kwesinye." (Mat. 24:31 BSB)

Uya kuthi ke emva koko athumele iingelosi, zibuthe ndawonye abo banyuliweyo zivela kwimimoya yomine, zithabathela esiphelweni sehlabathi ziye esiphelweni sezulu. (Marko 13: 27)

Kunzima ukubona ukuba "ukusuka esiphelweni somhlaba kuye esiphelweni sezulu" inokulingana njani nokuphuma kwabantu okwenzeka eYerusalem ngo-66 CE

Jonga ngoku ubudlelwane phakathi kwezo ndinyana kunye nezi zilandelayo:

“Khangela! Ndiyanithetha ngemfihlakalo engcwele: Asisayi kulala sonke [ekufeni], kodwa sonke siya kutshintshwa, okomzuzwana, ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso, ngexilongo lokugqibela. Kuba Ixilongo liya kukhala, kwaye abafileyo baya kuvuswa bengonakali, kwaye siya kutshintshwa. ” (1 Kor. 15:51, 52 NWT)

"... INkosi ngokwayo iya kuhla ivela ezulwini inelizwi lokuyalela, inelizwi lesiphatha zingelosi kunye Ixilongo likaThixo, kwaye abo bafe bemanyene noKristu baya kuvuka kuqala. Emva koko thina abaphilayo abasindileyo siya kuthi, kunye nabo, sibanjiselwe emafini siye kuhlangana neNkosi emoyeni; Kwaye ngaloo ndlela siya kuba neNkosi. ” (1 Tes. 4:16, 17)

Zonke ezi ndinyana zibandakanya ukukhalisa ixilongo kwaye zonke zithetha ngokuqokelelwa kwabanyuliweyo eluvukweni okanye kwinguqu, eyenzeka ebusweni beNkosi.

Emva koko, kwindinyana yama-32 ukuya kweyama-35 kaMateyu, uYesu unika abafundi bakhe isiqinisekiso sokuba intshabalalo eyaxelwa kwangaphambili yeYerusalem iza kuza ngexesha elimisiweyo kwaye iya kubonakala. Ke kwivesi 36 ukuya ku-44 ubaxelela okwahlukileyo ngobukho bakhe. Ayizukubonakala kwaye akukho xesha lichaziweyo lokuzaliseka kwayo. Xa ethetha kwivesi yama-40 yamadoda amabini asebenzayo enye iyakuthathwa enye ishiywe, kwaye kwivesi yama-41 yabafazi ababini abasebenzayo enye ithathiwe enye ishiywe, ngekhe athethe ngokubaleka eYerusalem. Loo maKrestu zange athathwe ngesiquphe, kodwa asishiya isixeko ngokwabo, kwaye nabani na ofuna angahamba nawo. Nangona kunjalo, umbono wokuba umntu athathwe ngelixa umlingane wakhe eshiyekile uhambelana nembono yokuba abantu baguqulwe ngesiquphe, ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso, bangene kwinto entsha.

Ngamafutshane, ndicinga ukuba xa uYesu esithi "kwangoko emva kwembandezelo yaloo mihla", uthetha ngembandezelo enkulu esinyamezelayo mna nawe nangoku. Le mbandezelo iya kuphela xa iziganeko ezinxulumene nobukho bukaKristu zisenzeka.

Ndiyakholelwa ukuba uMateyu 24: 29-31 uthetha ngobukho buka-Kristu, ingenguye ukutshutshiswa kweYerusalem.

Nangona kunjalo, unokungavumelani nam kwaye kulungile. Le ngenye yeendinyana zeBhayibhile apho singenakuqiniseka ngokuqinisekileyo malunga nokusebenza kwayo. Ngaba ibalulekile loo nto? Ukuba ucinga ngenye indlela kwaye ndicinga enye, ngaba usindiso lwethu luya kuthintelwa? Uyabona, ngokungafaniyo nemiyalelo uYesu awayinika abafundi bakhe abangamaJuda malunga nokusaba esixekweni, usindiso lwethu aluxhomekekanga ekuthatheni ikhondo lesenzo ngexesha elithile ngokusekwe kumqondiso othile, kodwa endaweni yoko, kuthobelo lwethu oluqhubekayo yonke imihla yobomi bethu. Emva koko, xa iNkosi ibonakala njengesela ebusuku, iya kukukhathalela ukusisindisa. Xa ixesha lifika, iNkosi iya kusithatha.

Haleluya!
