Ukuhlwithwa - ukubuya kukaJesu
“Imfundiso yokuhlwithwa” ekhuthazwa amanye amaKristu ikhuluma ngalokho okuyokwenzeka ebandleni lapho uJesu ebuya - “ekubuyeni kwesibili” njengoba kubizwa kanjalo. Imfundiso ithi amakholwa ahlangabezana nohlobo oluthile lokwenyukela okuncane; ukuthi “bayohlwithwa” ukuyohlangana noKristu esikhathini esithile ekubuyeni Kwakhe enkazimulweni. Amakholwa okuhlwithwa empeleni asebenzisa isiqephu esisodwa njengereferensi:
1. Thesalonika 4,15-17:
“Ngokuba sinitshela lokhu ngezwi leNkosi ukuthi thina esisekhona esisekhona kuze kube sekufikeni kweNkosi asiyikubandulela labo asebalala. Ngokuba iNkosi uqobo iyakwehla ezulwini lapho izwi lizwakala, lapho izwi lengelosi enkulu necilongo likaNkulunkulu likhala, futhi abafileyo abafela kuKristu bayovuka kuqala. Ngemva kwalokho thina esiphilayo esisele siyakuhlwithwa kanye nabo emafwini emoyeni ukuze sihlangabeze iNkosi; kanjalo siyakuba neNkosi njalo.
Imfundiso yokuhlwithwa ibonakala ivela emuva endodeni okuthiwa uJohn Nelson Darby ngawo-1830. Wahlukanisa isikhathi sokuza kwesibili kwaba izingxenye ezimbili. Okokuqala, ngaphambi kosizi, uKristu wayezofika kwabangcwele Bakhe (“ukuhlwithwa”); ngemva kosizi wayeyoza nabo, futhi yilokhu kuphela lapho uDarby abona khona ukubuya kwangempela, “ukuza kwesibili” kukaKristu ngobuhle nenkazimulo. Amakholwa okuhlwithwa anemibono ehlukene mayelana nokuthi ukuhlwithwa kuyokwenzeka nini ngenxa ‘yosizi olukhulu’ (usizi): ngaphambi, phakathi, noma ngemva kosizi (ngaphambi, phakathi nosizi, nangemuva kosizi). Ukwengeza, kunombono wedlanzana wokuthi yiqembu elikhethiwe kuphela ebandleni lobuKristu eliyohlwithwa ekuqaleni kosizi.
Ngabe iGrace Communion International (GCI/WCG) ikubona kanjani ukuHlwithwa?
Uma thina 1. Thesalonika 4,15-17, umphostoli uPawulu ubonakala ethi nje lapho kukhala “icilongo likaNkulunkulu” abafileyo abafela kuKristu bayovuka kuqala futhi, kanye namakholwa asaphila, “bayovuka emafwini emkhathini. umoya eNkosini ngokuphambene". Ukuthi lonke ibandla - noma ingxenye yebandla - ngaphambi, phakathi noma ngemva kosizi lizohlwithwa noma lidluliselwe kwenye indawo akushiwo.
Mathewu 24,29-31 ibonakala ikhuluma ngesenzakalo esifanayo. KuMathewu, uJesu uthi abangcwele bayoqoqwa “masinyane ngemva kosizi lwangaleso sikhathi.” Uvuko, ukubuthwa, noma uma uthanda, “ukuhlwithwa” kwenzeka ngokufingqiwe ekubuyeni kwesibili kukaJesu. KulemiBhalo kunzima ukuqonda umehluko owenziwa amakholwa okuhlwithwa. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, ibandla limelela incazelo eyiqiniso yombhalo oshiwo ngenhla futhi aliboni ukuhlwithwa okukhethekile njengoba kunikeziwe. Lamavesi okukhulunywa ngawo asho nje ukuthi lapho uJesu ebuya ngenkazimulo, abangcwele abafile bayovuka futhi bahlanganiswe nalabo abasaphila.
Umbuzo wokuthi kuzokwenzekani ebandleni ngaphambi, phakathi nangemuva kokubuya kukaJesu usalokhu uvuliwe kakhulu emiBhalweni. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, sinesiqiniseko salokho okushiwo umBhalo ngokucacile nangokuqinile: UJesu uzobuya ngenkazimulo ezokwahlulela umhlaba. Labo abaye bahlala bethembekile kuye bayovuswa futhi bahlale naye enjabulweni nasenkazimulweni phakade.
