Isiphetho

Uma lingekho ikusasa, kubhala uPawulu, bekungaba ubuwula ukukholelwa kuKristu (1. AbaseKorinte 15,19). Isiprofetho siyingxenye ebalulekile nekhuthaza kakhulu yokholo lobuKristu. Isiprofetho seBhayibheli simemezela okuthile okunethemba elimangalisayo. Singathola amandla amaningi nesibindi kuye uma sigxila emilayezweni yakhe ebalulekile, hhayi emininingwaneni okungaphikiswana ngayo.

Inhloso yesiprofetho

Ukuprofetha akusona isiphetho kukodwa - kuveza iqiniso eliphakeme. Okungukuthi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzobuyisana nesintu naye, uNkulunkulu; ukuthi uyasithethelela izono zethu; ukuthi uzosenza abangane bakaNkulunkulu futhi. Isiprofetho simemezela lokhu.

Isiprofetho asikho nje ukubikezela izehlakalo, kepha ukukhomba thina kuNkulunkulu. Kusitshela ukuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu, unjani, wenzani nokuthi ulindeleni kithi. Isiprofetho sibiza abantu ukuba babuyisane noNkulunkulu ngokukholwa kuJesu Kristu.

Iziprofetho eziningi eziqondile zagcwaliseka ezikhathini zeTestamente Elidala, futhi silindele ukugcwaliseka okwengeziwe. Kodwa okugxilwe kuzo zonke isiprofetho kuyinto ehluke ngokuphelele: Insindiso - ukuthethelelwa kwezono kanye nokuphila okuphakade okuza ngoJesu Kristu. Isiprofetho siyasikhombisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungumbusi womlando (Daniyeli 4,14); kuqinisa ukholo lwethu kuKristu (Johane 14,29) futhi usinika ithemba ngekusasa (1Th
4,13-enye).

Enye yezinto uMose nabaprofethi abayibhala ngoKristu yayiwukuthi wayezobulawa futhi avuswe4,27 Isiqephu 46). Baphinde babikezela izenzakalo ngemva kokuvuka kukaJesu, njengokushunyayelwa kwevangeli (v. 47).

Isiprofetho sisikhomba ekuzuzeni insindiso kuKristu. Uma singakuqondi lokhu, zonke iziprofetho azisizi ngalutho kithi. NgoKristu kuphela esingangena embusweni ongeke uphele (Daniyeli 7,13-14 no-27).

IBhayibheli limemezela Ukuza Kwesibili KukaKristu NokwaHlulelwa Kokugcina, limemezela izijeziso nemivuzo yaphakade. Ngokwenza kanjalo, ubonisa abantu ukuthi ukuhlengwa kuyadingeka, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo lokho kukhululwa kuzofika nakanjani. Isiprofetho sisitshela ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyosenza silandise ( Jude 14-15 ), ukuthi ufuna sihlengwe2. UPetrus 3,9) nokuthi usevele wasihlenga (1. UJohannes 2,1-2). Uyasiqinisekisa ukuthi bonke ububi buyonqotshwa, nokuthi konke ukungabi nabulungisa nokuhlupheka kuzophela (1. AbaseKorinte 15,25; IsAmbulo 21,4).

Isiprofetho siyaliqinisa ikholwa: limtshela ukuthi imizamo yakhe ayilona ize. Siyosindiswa ekushushisweni, sizolungisiswa futhi sivuzwe. Isiprofetho sisikhumbuza ngothando lukaNkulunkulu nokwethembeka futhi sisisiza ukuba sithembeke kuye (2. UPetrus 3,10-ishumi nesithupha; 1. UJohannes 3,2-3). Ngokusikhumbuza ukuthi yonke ingcebo yezinto ezibonakalayo iyashabalala, iziprofetho ziseluleka ukuba sazise izinto ezingabonakali zikaNkulunkulu nobuhlobo bethu baphakade naye.

UZakariya ubhekisela esiprofethweni njengobizo lokuphenduka (Zakariya 1,3-4). UNkulunkulu uxwayisa ngesijeziso kodwa ulindele ukuphenduka. Njengoba kuboniswe endabeni kaJona, uNkulunkulu ukulungele ukuhoxisa izimemezelo zakhe lapho abantu bephendukela kuye. Umgomo wokuprofetha uwukuphendukela kuNkulunkulu onekusasa elimangalisayo asibekele lona; hhayi ukwanelisa ukukitaza kwethu, ukuthola "izimfihlo".

Isidingo esiyisisekelo: ukuqapha

Singasiqonda kanjani isiprofetho seBhayibheli? Ngokuqapha okukhulu kuphela. Iziprofetho ezinenhloso enhle "abalandeli" balilulazile ivangeli ngokubikezela okungamanga nangemfundiso engafanele. Ngenxa yokusebenzisa kabi isiprofetho, abanye abantu bahlekisa ngeBhayibheli, baze bamklolodele noKristu uqobo.Uhlu lwezibikezelo ezingaphumelelanga kufanele lube yisexwayiso esinamandla sokuthi ukukholwa komuntu akuqinisekisi iqiniso. Njengoba ukubikezela okungamanga kungayenza ingabi nenkolelo, kufanele siqaphele.

Akudingeki sidinge ukubikezela okuvusa amadlingozi ukuze silwele kanzima ukukhula ngokomoya kanye nendlela yokuphila yobuKristu. Ukwazi izikhathi neminye imininingwane (noma ngabe kuvela ukuthi inembile) akusona isiqinisekiso sensindiso. Kithina, ukugxila kufanele kube kuKristu, hhayi kobuhle nobubi, noma ngabe yilona noma lowo mbuso wezwe mhlawumbe ungachazwa ngokuthi "yisilo".

Ukuluthwa yisiphrofetho kusho ukuthi sigxila kakhulu kuvangeli. Umuntu kufanele aphenduke futhi akholelwe kuKristu ukuthi uKristu uzobuya noma cha, noma ngabe kuzoba nenkulungwane yeminyaka, noma ngabe iMelika iyakhulunywa esiprofethweni seBhayibheli.

Kungani kunzima kangaka ukuhumusha isiprofetho? Mhlawumbe isizathu esibaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uvame ukukhuluma ngezimpawu. Abafundi bokuqala kungenzeka ukuthi babekwazi ukuthi zisho ukuthini izimpawu; Njengoba siphila esikweni nangesikhathi esihlukile, ukuhumusha kuyinkinga kakhulu kithi.

Isibonelo solimi olungokomfanekiso: iHubo le-18. Ngendlela yezinkondlo uchaza indlela uNkulunkulu asindisa ngayo uDavide ezitheni zakhe (ivesi 1). Ngenxa yalokhu uDavid usebenzisa izifanekiselo ezahlukahlukene: ukweqa endaweni yabafileyo (4-6), ukuzamazama komhlaba (8), izimpawu esibhakabhakeni (10-14), ngisho nokusindisa osizini olwandle (16-17). Lezi zinto azenzekanga empeleni, kepha zisetshenziswa ngokomfanekiso nangokomfanekiso ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso ukuze kucaciswe amaqiniso athile, ukuze kwenze kube "okubonakalayo". Lokhu kusebenza futhi nokuthi isiprofetho sisebenza kanjani.

U-Isaya 40,3:4 ukhuluma ngeqiniso lokuthi izintaba ziyehliswa futhi imigwaqo yenziwe ngokulinganayo - lokhu akushiwo ngokoqobo. Lukas 3,4-6 kubonisa ukuthi lesi siprofetho sagcwaliseka ngoJohane uMbhapathizi. Kwakungekhona ngezintaba nemigwaqo nhlobo.
 
Joel 3,1-2 ubikezela ukuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu uzothululelwa “phezu kwayo yonke inyama”; NgokukaPetru, lokhu kwase kugcwalisekile kakade ngeshumi nambili labantu ngosuku lwePhentekoste (Zenzo zabaPhostoli). 2,16-17). Amaphupho nemibono eyaprofethwa uJoweli inemininingwane ekuchazeni kwayo okungokoqobo. Kodwa uPetru akakuceli ukugcwaliseka kwangempela kwezibonakaliso zangaphandle ngokwezibalo - nathi akufanele. Uma sibhekene nesithombe, asilindele ukuthi yonke imininingwane yesiprofetho ivele nezwi nezwi.

Lezi zinkinga zithinta indlela abantu abahumusha ngayo iziprofetho zeBhayibheli. Omunye umfundi angakhetha ukutolika ngokwezwi nezwi, omunye afane nomfanekiso, futhi kungenzeka kube nzima ukufakazela ukuthi iyiphi eyiqiniso. Lokhu kusiphoqa ukuthi sibheke isithombe esikhulu, hhayi imininingwane. Sibheka ngengilazi efriziwe, hhayi ngesilazi esikhulisayo.

Akukho ukuvumelana kobuKristu ezindaweni eziningi ezibalulekile zesiprofetho. Ngakho-ke nqoba i-z. B. ngezihloko zokuhlwithwa, usizi olukhulu, iminyaka eyinkulungwane, isimo esiphakathi nesihogo imibono ehluke kakhulu. Umbono womuntu ngamunye awubalulekile kangako lapha.

Yize ziyingxenye yohlelo lwaphezulu futhi zibalulekile kuNkulunkulu, akubalulekanga ukuthi sithole zonke izimpendulo ezilungile lapha - ikakhulukazi hhayi lapho behlwanyela ukungezwani phakathi kwethu nalabo abacabanga ngokwehlukile. Isimo sethu sengqondo sibaluleke kakhulu kunokugcizelela amaphuzu ngamanye. Mhlawumbe singaqhathanisa isiprofetho nohambo. Akudingeki sazi kahle ukuthi inhloso yethu ikuphi, sizofika kanjani futhi ngasiphi isivinini. Esikudingayo ngaphezu kwakho konke ukuthembela “kumqondisi” wethu, uJesu Kristu. Nguye kuphela owaziyo indlela, futhi ngaphandle kwakhe siyaphambuka. Masinamathele kuye - uzoyinakekela imininingwane.

Ngalezi zimpawu kanye nokubhuka, ake manje sibheke ezinye zezimfundiso zobuKristu eziyisisekelo ezikhuluma ngekusasa.

Ukubuya kukaKristu

Umcimbi omkhulu osemqoka ozocacisa ukufundisa kwethu ngekusasa ukubuya kwesibili kukaKristu. Cishe kunesivumelwano esiphelele sokuthi uzobuya.

UJesu wamemezela kubafundi bakhe ukuthi “uyobuya futhi” (Johane 14,3). Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uxwayisa abafundi ukuba bangachithi isikhathi sabo bebala izinsuku4,36). Ugxeka abantu abakholelwa ukuthi isikhathi sesiseduze5,1-13), kodwa nalabo abakholelwa ekubambezelekeni okude (Mathewu 24,45-51). Ukuziphatha: Kufanele sihlale sikulungiselele, kufanele sihlale sikulungele, lowo ngumthwalo wethu.

Izingelosi zamemezela kubafundi: Njengoba uJesu eya ezulwini, uyobuya futhi (IzE 1,11). “Uyozembula esezulwini kanye nezingelosi zamandla akhe emalangabini omlilo” (2. Thesalonika 1,7-8). UPawulu ukubiza ngokuthi “ukubonakala kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu omkhulu noMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu.” (Thithu 2,13). UPetru ukhuluma nangeqiniso lokuthi “uJesu Kristu wambulwa” (1. UPetrus 1,7; bheka futhi ivesi 13), ngokufanayo noJohane (1. UJohannes 2,28). Ngokufanayo naseNcwadini eya kumaHeberu: UJesu uyovela “ngokwesibili” “kube yinsindiso kulabo abamlindele” (9,28).
 
Kukhulunywa “ngomyalo” omkhulu, “izwi lengelosi enkulu”, “icilongo likaNkulunkulu” (2. Thesalonika 4,16). Ukuza kwesibili kuzocaca, kuzobonakala futhi kuzwakale, kuzobe kucace.

Kuyohambisana nezinye izenzakalo ezimbili: uvuko nokwahlulelwa. UPawulu ubhala ukuthi abafileyo kuKristu bayovuka lapho iNkosi ifika, nokuthi ngesikhathi esifanayo abakholwayo abaphilayo bayodonselwa emoyeni ukuze bahlangabeze iNkosi eyehlayo.2. Thesalonika 4,16-17). “Ngokuba icilongo liyakukhala,” kubhala uPawulu, “nabafileyo bayovuka benokungonakali, futhi thina siyoguqulwa.”1. AbaseKorinte 15,52). Senziwa ukuguqulwa - siba “abakhazimulayo”, abanamandla, abangonakali, abangabhubhiyo nabangokomoya (amavesi 42-44).

Mathewu 24,31 kubonakala kukuchaza lokhu ngombono ohlukile: “[UKristu] uyakuthuma izingelosi zakhe namacilongo akhanyayo, ziqoqe abakhethiweyo bayo emimoyeni yomine, kusukela emkhawulweni owodwa wezulu kuze kube komunye.” Emfanekisweni wokhula. , uJesu uthi, ekupheleni kwenkathi “uyothuma izingelosi zakhe, zibuthe, zikhiphe embusweni wakhe konke okubangela ukuhlubuka nabenza okubi.” ( Mathewu 1 Kor.3,40-41). “Ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu iyakuza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye nezingelosi zayo, khona-ke iyovuza wonke umuntu ngokwalokho ekwenzileyo.6,27). Emfanekisweni wenceku ethembekileyo (Mathewu 24,45-51) nasemfanekisweni wamathalenta aphathisiwe (Mathewu 25,14-30) nenkantolo.

UPawulu uyabhala, lapho iNkosi ifika, ‘iyoveza ekukhanyeni’ “okufihliwe ebumnyameni futhi yenze kubonakale izifiso zezinhliziyo. Khona-ke uNkulunkulu uyonika wonke umuntu udumo lwakhe” (1. AbaseKorinte 4,5). Yebo, uNkulunkulu kakade wazi wonke umuntu, ngakho ukwahlulela kwenzeka esikhathini eside ngaphambi kokubuya kwesibili kukaKristu. Kodwa-ke kuzobe "kuzovezwa obala" okokuqala futhi kumenyezelwe kuwo wonke umuntu. Ukuthi sinikezwa ukuphila okusha nokuthi sivuzwa kuyisikhuthazo esikhulu. Ekupheleni ‘kwesahluko sokuvuka kwabafileyo’ uPawulu uyababaza: “Kepha makabongwe uNkulunkulu osinika ukunqoba ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu! Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, qinani, ningaphazamiseki futhi nande njalo emsebenzini weNkosi, nazi ukuthi umsebenzi wenu awulona ize eNkosini ”1. AbaseKorinte 15,5I-7-58).

Izinsuku zokugcina

Ukuze bavuse isithakazelo, abafundisi besiprofetho bayathanda ukubuza, “Ingabe siphila ezinsukwini zokugcina?” Impendulo enembile ithi “yebo”—futhi ibilokhu inembile iminyaka eyizi-2000 . UPetru ucaphuna isiprofetho esimayelana nezinsuku zokugcina futhi usisebenzise ngesikhathi sakhe (IzE 2,16-17), ngokufanayo umbhali wencwadi eya kumaHeberu (Hebheru 1,2). Izinsuku ezimbalwa ezedlule beziqhubeka isikhathi eside kunalokho abanye abantu abakucabangayo. UJesu wanqoba isitha futhi wangenisa inkathi entsha.

Impi nobunzima sekuhlasele isintu okweminyaka eyizinkulungwane. Ngabe kuzoba kubi kakhulu? Mhlawumbe. Izinto zingahle zibe ngcono ngemuva kwalokho, bese ziphinde zibe zimbi kakhulu. Noma kuba ngcono kwabanye abantu futhi kubi kakhulu kwabanye ngasikhathi sinye. "Inkomba yosizi" iye yehla yenyuka kuwo wonke umlando, futhi kungenzeka iqhubeke ngaleyo ndlela.
 
Nokho, ngokuphindaphindiwe kwamanye amaKristu kwakungase “kungabi kubi ngokwanele”. Bacishe bomele usizi olukhulu oluchazwa ngokuthi isikhathi esinzima kunazo zonke esiyoke sibe khona emhlabeni.4,21). Bakhangwa Umphikukristu, “isilo”, “umuntu wesono” nezinye izitha zikaNkulunkulu. Kuzo zonke izenzakalo ezimbi, ngokuvamile babona isibonakaliso sokuthi uKristu usezobuya.

Kuyiqiniso ukuthi uJesu wabikezela isikhathi sosizi olwesabekayo4,21), kodwa okuningi kwalokho ayekubikezele kwase kugcwalisekile kakade lapho kuvinjezelwa iJerusalema ngo-70. UJesu uxwayisa abafundi bakhe ngezinto okufanele basazenzele zona; z. B. ukuthi kwakuyodingeka ukuba abantu baseJudiya babalekele ezintabeni (v. 16).

UJesu wabikezela izikhathi zesidingo esiqhubekayo kuze kube sekubuyeni kwakhe. “Ezweni ninosizi,” esho (Johane 16,33, Ubuningi bokuhumusha). Abaningi babafundi bakhe badela ukuphila kwabo ngenxa yokholo lwabo kuJesu. Izilingo ziyingxenye yempilo yobuKristu; UNkulunkulu akasivikeli kuzo zonke izinkinga zethu4,22; 2. UThimothi 3,12; 1. UPetrus 4,12). Ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, ngezikhathi zabaphostoli, abaphikukristu babesebenza (1. UJohannes 2,18 awu 22; 2. Johane 7).

Ingabe lukhona usizi olukhulu olwabikezelwa esikhathini esizayo? AmaKrestu amaningi ayakukholwa lokhu, futhi mhlawumbe baqinisile. Yize kunjalo izigidi zamaKristu emhlabeni jikelele sezivele zishushiswa namuhla. Abaningi bayabulawa. Kunoma yikuphi kubo, ukucindezeleka akukwazi ukuba kubi kakhulu kunalokho okuvele kunjalo. Sekuyiminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili, izikhathi ezimbi ziye zehlela amaKristu kaninginingi. Mhlawumbe usizi olukhulu luthathe isikhathi eside kakhulu kunendlela abantu abaningi abacabanga ngayo.

Imisebenzi yethu yobuKristu ihlala injalo noma ngabe usizi luseduze noma lukude - noma ngabe seluqalile. Ukuqagela ngekusasa akusisizi ukuthi sifane kakhulu noKristu, futhi lapho kusetshenziswa njengesilinganiso ukunxusa abantu ukuba baphenduke, kusetshenziswa kabi kabi. Labo abaqagela ngokukhathazeka basebenzisa kabi isikhathi sabo.

Isikhathi seminyaka eyiNkulungwane

ISambulo 20 sikhuluma ngokubusa kweminyaka eyinkulungwane kukaKristu nabangcwele. Amanye amaKrestu akuqonda kahle lokhu njengombuso weminyaka eyinkulungwane uKrestu azowumisa ekubuyeni kwakhe. Amanye amaKristu abona "iminyaka eyinkulungwane" ngokomfanekiso, njengophawu lokubusa kukaKristu esontweni, ngaphambi kokuza kwakhe kwesibili.

Inombolo eyinkulungwane ingasetshenziswa ngokomfanekiso eBhayibhelini 7,9; IHubo 50,10), futhi abukho ubufakazi bokuthi kufanele kuthathwe njengoba kunjalo kusAmbulo. Isambulo sibhalwe ngesitayela esicebe ngendlela engavamile ngezithombe. Ayikho enye incwadi yeBhayibheli ekhuluma ngombuso wesikhashana oyomiswa ekubuyeni kwesibili kukaKristu. Amavesi afana noDaniyeli 2,44 ngokuphambene nalokho, ngisho nokusikisela ukuthi umbuso uyoba phakade ngaphandle kwanoma iyiphi inkinga eminyakeni eyi-1000 kamuva.

Uma kunombuso weminyaka eyinkulungwane ngemva kokubuya kukaKristu, ababi bayovuswa futhi bahlulelwe eminyakeni eyinkulungwane ngemva kwabalungileyo ( IsAmbulo 20,5:2 ). Nokho, imifanekiso kaJesu ayisikiseli leso gebe esikhathini (Mathewu 5,31-46; UJohane 5,28-29). Iminyaka eyinkulungwane ayiyona ingxenye yevangeli likaKristu. UPawuli ubhala ukuthi abalungileyo nababi bayovuswa ngalolo suku (2. Thesalonika 1,6-enye).

Kungadingidwa eminye imibuzo eminingi ngalesi sihloko, kepha lokho akudingeki lapha. Izinkomba zemibono ngayinye ekhonjiwe zingatholakala emiBhalweni. Noma yini umuntu angayikholelwa mayelana neMinyaka Eyinkulungwane, kunento eyodwa eqinisekile: Ngesinye isikhathi inkathi yesikhathi okukhulunywa ngayo kuSambulo 20 izophela, bese ilandelwa izulu elisha nomhlaba omusha, ongunaphakade, okhazimulayo, inkulu, ingcono futhi yinde kuneMinyaka Eyinkulungwane. Ngakho-ke, lapho sicabanga ngomhlaba omuhle wakusasa, singakhetha ukugxila embusweni waphakade, ophelele kunasesigabeni sesikhashana. Sinephakade okufanele sililangazelele!

Ingunaphakade lenjabulo

Kuyoba kanjani lokho - ingunaphakade? Siyazi kuphela ingxenye (1. AbaseKorinte 13,9; 1. UJohannes 3,2) ngoba wonke amazwi nemicabango yethu kusekelwe emhlabeni wanamuhla. Njengoba uDavide ekubeka: “Phambi kwakho kukhona ukuchichima nokuthokoza ngakwesokunene sakho kuze kube phakade.6,11). Ingxenye engcono kakhulu yaphakade kuyoba ukuphila noNkulunkulu; ukuba njengaye; ukumbona ngalokho ayikho ngempela; ukumazi nokumazi kangcono (1. UJohannes 3,2). Lona umgomo wethu omkhulu kanye nomuzwa wokuba yikho okufunwa uNkulunkulu, futhi lokhu kuzosanelisa futhi kusinike injabulo ingunaphakade.

Futhi eminyakeni eyizi-10.000 kusukela manje, nezinduna ziphambi kwethu, sizobheka emuva ezimpilweni zethu namhlanje bese simomotheka ngezinkathazo ebesinazo futhi simangale ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenza umsebenzi Wakhe masinyane kanjani ngesikhathi sisemhlabeni. Kwakuyisiqalo nje futhi ngeke kube khona ukuphela.
