ISibhalo-Iminyaka Eliwaka

Ndabona isithunywa sezulu, sisihla siphuma ezulwini, siphethe ngesandla isitshixo senzonzobila, nomxokelelwane onzima. Yayibamba inamba, inyoka yakudala enguMtyholi, uSathana ke, yayibopha iminyaka eliwaka, yayiphosa enzonzobileni, yawuvalela, yawutywina, ukuze ingabi sazilahlekisa iintlanga, lide liyilahle. izalisekile iminyaka eliwaka. Emva koko, iya kukhululwa ixesha elifutshane.

Ndabona iitrone; abo babehleli phezu kwawo baphathiswe ugwebo. Ndayibona nemiphefumlo yabo babeye banqunyulwa iintloko ngenxa yobungqina babo ngoYesu nangenxa yelizwi likaThixo, abo bangazange balinqule irhamncwa nomfanekiso walo, bengalwamkelanga nophawu lwalo emabunzini abo okanye ezandleni zabo. Babuya badla ubomi, baba ngookumkani kunye noKristu iminyaka eliwaka. ( ISityhilelo 20:1-4 , NW. Ufundo lweMisa lokuqala lwangoLwesihlanu)

 

Kukho, mhlawumbi, asikho iSibhalo esitolikwa ngokubanzi, ekuphikiswana ngaso ngolangazelelo nokwahlulahlula, ngaphezu kwesi sicatshulwa seNcwadi yesiTyhilelo. KwiCawa yokuqala, amaguquka angamaYuda ayekholelwa ukuba “iwaka leminyaka” libhekisela ekuzeni kukaYesu kwakhona ngokoqobo balawule emhlabeni kwaye bamisele ubukumkani bezopolitiko phakathi kwezidlo zenyama kunye nemibhiyozo.^[1]"... abaya kuthi ke bavuke kwakhona baxhamle ukuzonwabisa kwizidlo zenyama ezingenakulinganiswa, ezilungiselelwe isixa senyama kunye neziselo ezinjengokothusa nje iimvakalelo zomoya opholileyo, kodwa kwanokodlula umlinganiselo wokukholelwa." (iSt. Augustine, IsiXeko sikaThixo, Bk. XX, Ch. 7) Nangona kunjalo, abaSeki beCawa bakhawuleza baluphelisa olo lindelo, belubhengeza njengoqhekeko-into esiyibizayo namhlanje Millenarianism ^[2]ukubona IMillenarianism -Yintoni kwaye ayikho kwaye Ilahlekile i-Era.

Abo bathatha [ISityhi 20: 1-6] ngokoqobo kwaye bayakholelwa kuloo nto UYesu uza kulawula emhlabeni iminyaka eliwaka Ngaphambi kokuphela kwehlabathi kuthiwa zi-millenarists. —Leo J. Trese, Ukucaciswa kokholo, p. 153-154, Sinag-Tala Publishers, Inc. (kunye ne UNihil Obstat kwaye nangemvume)

Ngaloo ndlela, i IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika uxele:

Umchasi-Kristu ubuqhetseba sele iqala ukumila ehlabathini lonke ixesha ibango lenziwa ukuqonda ngaphakathi kwimbali ukuba ithemba likamesiya elinokuphunyezwa ngaphaya kwembali ngomgwebo we-eschatological. IBandla lizikhabile iindlela eziguquliweyo zobu buxoki bobukumkani ukuba bube phantsi kwegama lemillenarianism. (577), ngokukodway uhlobo lwezopolitiko “olugqwethekileyo” lukamesiya wehlabathi. -n. I-676

Umbhalo osemazantsi 577 apha ngasentla usikhokelela emsebenzini kaDenzinger-Schonnmetzer (I-Enchiridion Symbolorum, inkcazo kunye nokubhengezwa kwe-rebus fidei et isimilo,) leyo ilandelela ukuphuhliswa kwemfundiso kunye neemfundiso kwiCawa yamaKatolika ukusuka kumaxesha amandulo:

 

Iyintoni “iminyaka eliwaka”?

Namhlanje, kukho iimbono ezininzi malunga nokuba liliphi kanye kanye eli waka leminyaka abhekisela kulo iSt. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kumfundi weSibhalo, nangona kunjalo, kukuba ukutolikwa kweBhayibhile ayingombandela oyintloko. Kwakukumabhunga aseCarthage (393, 397, 419 AD) naseHippo (393 AD) apho “icanon” okanye iincwadi zeBhayibhile, njengoko thina maKhatholika sizigcina namhlanje, zasekwa ngabalandela abaPostile. Ngoko ke, yiCawe apho sikhangela ingcaciso yeBhayibhile, yona “intsika nesiseko senyaniso.”^[6]I-1 Tim 3: 15

Ngokukodwa, sijonge kwi OoCeba bamandulo ababengabokuqala ukuba bobabini bamkele kwaye baphuhlise ngononophelo "idiphozithi yoKholo" egqithiselwe kuKristu ukuya kubaPostile.

… Ukuba kuvela umbuzo omtsha apho kungekho sinqumo sinikiweyo, kufuneka babhenele kwizimvo zooBawo abangcwele, babo ubuncinci, abathi, elowo ngexesha lakhe nasendaweni yakhe, bahlale kubunye bobudlelane ngokholo ke zamkelwa njengeenkosi ezivunyiweyo. Kwaye nantoni na ekunokuthi kufunyaniswe ukuba ibigcinwe, ngamxhelo mnye nangemvumelwano enye, oku kufuneka kuthathwe njengemfundiso eyinyani neyamaKatolika yeCawa, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo. —St. UVincent waseLerins, Isiqhelo ka-434 AD, "Kwizinto zakudala kunye neUniversity of the Catholic Faith Against the Profane Novelties of All Heresies", Ch. 29, n. 77

Abaseki beCawa yamandulo baphantse bavumelana ukuba “iminyaka eliwaka” ekubhekiselwa kuyo nguSt. John yayibhekisela “kwimini yeNkosi”.^[7]I-2 Thess 2: 2  Nangona kunjalo, abazange batolike eli nani ngokoqobo:

… Siyaqonda ukuba ixesha leminyaka eliwaka libonakalisiwe kulwimi lokomfuziselo… Indoda phakathi kwethu egama linguYohane, omnye wabaPostile bakaKrestu, wamkela waxela kwangaphambili ukuba abalandeli bakaKrestu bazakuhlala eJerusalem iminyaka eliwaka, kwaye emva koko iyonke kwaye, ngamafutshane, uvuko olungunaphakade nomgwebo ziyakwenzeka. —St. UJustin Martyr, Incoko kunye noTraypho, Ootata beCawe, Ilifa lamaKristu

Ngenxa yoko:

Ewe, imini yeNkosi iya kuba yiminyaka eliwaka. -Umhla kaBharnabhas, Ootata beCawe, Ch. Ngama-15

Inkcazo yabo yayingaveli eSt. John kuphela kodwa iSt. Peter, upopu wokuqala:

Ungayityesheli le nto inye, zintanda, ukuba phambi kweNkosi imini enye injengeminyaka eliwaka, newaka leminyaka lifana nosuku olunye. (2 Peter 3: 8)

UBawo weCawa uLactantius wacacisa ukuba uMhla weNkosi, nangona ingengomhla weeyure ezingama-24, imelwe ngawo:

… Ngalo mhla wethu, ohambelana nokuphuma nokutshona kwelanga, ngumfuziselo wosuku olukhulu apho isekethe eliwaka leminyaka lixhoma imida yayo. -Lactantius, Ootata beCawa: Amaziko obuThixo, INcwadi VII, Isahluko se-14, Inzululwazi yamaKatolika; www.newadvent.org

Ngaloo ndlela, elandela ubalo-maxesha oluthe ngqo lukaYohane oNgcwele kwiSityhilelo isahluko 19 nesama-20, ayekholelwa ukuba yiMini yeNkosi:

• iqala kubumnyama bomlindo (ixesha lokuchasa umthetho nowexuko) [cf. 2 Tesalonika 2:1-3

• crescendos ebumnyameni (imbonakalo “yomchasi-mthetho” okanye “umchasi-Kristu”) [cf. 2 Tesalonika 2:3-7; IsiTyhilelo 13]

• kulandelwa kukuntwela kokusa (ukukhonkxwa kukaSathana nokufa komchasi-Kristu) [cf. 2 Tes 2:8; ISityhilelo 19:20; ISityhilelo 20:1-3

• kulandelwa lixesha lasemini (ixesha loxolo) [cf. ISityhilelo 20:4-6]

• de kwatshona ilanga ngexesha nangembali (ukuphakama kukaGogi noMagogi nohlaselo lokugqibela kwiCawa) [ISityhi 20:7-9] xa uSathana ephoswa esihogweni apho uMchasi-Kristu (irhamncwa) kunye nomprofeti wobuxoki babekho “ngeminyaka eliwaka” [ISityhilelo 20:10].

Loo ngongoma yokugqibela ibalulekile. Isizathu kukuba uya kuva abashumayeli abaninzi Evangelical kunye Catholic namhlanje bathi Umchasi ubonakala ekupheleni kwexesha. Kodwa ufundo olucacileyo lwe<em>Apocalypse yeSt.

Kodwa ke xa uKrestu echasene nazo zonke izinto ezikhoyo emhlabeni, uya kulawula iminyaka emithathu eneenyanga ezintandathu, uhlale etempileni eJerusalem. Yothi ke iNkosi ibuye ivela ezulwini esemafini… ithumele lo mntu kunye nabo bamlandelayo kwichibi lomlilo; kodwa izisa amalungisa ngobukumkani, oko kukuthi, ukuphumla, usuku olungcwele ... Ezi ziya kwenzeka ngexesha lobukumkani, oko kukuthi, ngomhla wesixhenxe ... iSabatha yokwenene yamalungisa. —St. UIrenaeus waseLyon, uBawo weCawa (140- 202 AD); IiHerevers Haereses, uIrenaeus waseLyon, V.33.3.4,Ootata beCawe, ICIMA Ukupapasha Co

Uya kumbetha okhohlakeleyo ngentonga yomlomo wakhe, ambulale ongendawo ngomoya womlomo wakhe; ingcuka iya kuba lundwendwe lwemvana, ingwe ibuthe netakane lebhokhwe; yenzakalisa okanye yonakalise kuyo yonke intaba yam engcwele; ngokuba ilizwe liya kuzala kukwazi uYehova, njengamanzi egubungele ulwandle. ( Isaya 11:4-9; thelekisa ISityhilelo 19:15 )

Mna nawo onke amanye amaKrestu angoothodoki siziva siqinisekile ukuba kuya kubakho uvuko lwenyama olulandelwa yiminyaka eliwaka kwisixeko esakhiwe ngokutsha, esihonjisiweyo, nesandisiweyo saseYerusalem, njengoko kwakubhengezwe nguMprofeti uHezekile, uIsaya nabanye. —ISt. UJustin Martyr, iNgxoxo kunye noTrypho, uCh. 81, Ootata beCawe, Ilifa lamaKristu

Phawula, abaSeki beCawa ngaxeshanye babhekisela ‘kwiminyaka eliwaka’ ngokuthi “yiMini yeNkosi” ‘nophumlo lwesabatha. Bakusekela oku kwibali lendalo elikwiGenesis xa uThixo waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe...^[8]I-X 2: 2

... ngokungathi yinto efanelekileyo ukuba abangcwele bafanele ukonwaba ngohlobo lokuphumla ngeSabatha ngeloxesha [“leminyaka eliwaka”]… Kwaye olu luvo alunakuphikiswa, ukuba bekukholelwa ukuba uvuyo lwabangcwele , ngayo loo Sabatha ngokomoya, kunye neziphumo kubukho bukaThixo… —St. UAugustine waseHippo (354-430 AD; Gqirha weCawe), Isidima sobuntu, Bk. XX, Ch. I-7, IYunivesithi yase Katolika yaseMelika Press

Ke ngoko, ukuphumla kwesabatha kuhlala kuse kubantu bakaThixo. (Heb. 4: 9)

Kwileta kaBharnabhas nguBawo wabapostile wenkulungwane yesibini, ifundisa:

… Uza kuza unyana wakhe, alitshabalalise ixesha longendawo, agwebe abangahloneli Thixo, atshintshe ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi, ayophumla ke ngolwesixhenxe, emva kokuba ephumle ngazo zonke izinto, ukuqala kosuku lwesibhozo, oko kukuthi, elinye ilizwe. -Umhla kaBharnabhas (70-79 AD), owabhalwa nguyise wabapostile wenkulungwane yesibini

Apha, kwakhona, kwisityhilelo esivunyiweyo sesiprofetho, siva iNkosi Yethu iqinisekisa olu balo-maxesha lukaYohane oNgcwele kunye nabaSeki beCawa:

Umbono wam kwiNdalo yayibuBukumkani beNtando yam emphefumlweni wesidalwa; Eyona njongo yam yayikukwenza umntu abe ngumfanekiso kaBathathu Emnye ngenxa yokuzaliseka kwentando yam kuye. Kodwa njengoko umntu wayerhoxa kuYo, ndaphulukana noBukumkani bam kuye, yaye kangangeminyaka engama-6000 kwafuneka ndinyamezele idabi elide. —UYesu kuMkhonzi kaThixo uLuisa Piccarreta, kwiidayari zikaLuisa, Vol. XIX, ngoJuni 20, 1926

Ngoko ke, apho uneyona ntambo icacileyo nengaqhawukiyo kuzo zombini izityhilelo zikaYohane, ukuya kuphuhliso lwabo kuBaseki beCawa, ukuya kwisityhilelo sangasese sokuba—ngaphambi kokuphela kwehlabathi—kuya kubakho “umhla wesixhenxe” wokuphumla, amazulu nomhlaba. “uvuko” lweCawa emva kwexesha lomchasi-Kristu.

U-St. Thomas no St John Chrysostom bacacisa la magama Ubalo-mbono ngo-Jesu ngumzekelo we-adventus sui (“Leyo iNkosi uYesu iyakumtshabalalisa ngokuqaqamba kokuza kwayo”) ngengqiqo yokuba uKrestu uya kubetha umchasi-Kristu ngokumkhazimla ngokuqaqamba okuya kufana nelizwi nomqondiso wokuza kwakhe okwesibini… igunya jonga, kwaye enye ebonakala ihambelana kakhulu neSibhalo esiNgcwele, kukuba, emva kokuwa komchasi-Kristu, iCawa yamaKatolika iya kuphinda ingene kwixesha lokuphumelela kunye noloyiso. -Ukuphela kweLizwe langoku kunye neemfihlakalo zoBomi boKamva, Fr. UCharles Arminjon (1824-1885), iphe. 56-57; USomalia Institute Press

… [Icawe] iyakulandela iNkosi yakhe ekufeni nasekuVukweni. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, 677

 

Luyintoni “uvuko lokuqala”?

Kodwa luyintoni kanye kanye olu “vuko lokuqala.” UKhadinali owaziwayo uJean Daniélou (1905-1974) wabhala:

Isiqinisekiso esiyimfuneko sesigaba esiphakathi apho abangcwele bavukekileyo basesemhlabeni kwaye bengekangeni kwinqanaba labo lokugqibela, kuba le yenye yezinto zemfihlakalo yeentsuku zokugqibela ekusafuneka zityhilwe.. -Imbali yeMfundiso yoBukristu bokuqala phambi kweBhunga laseNicea, 1964, iphe. 377

Nangona kunjalo, ukuba injongo yeXesha loXolo kunye “newaka leminyaka” kukuseka kwakhona imvisiswano yantlandlolo yendalo.^[9]“Ngaloo ndlela ke isenzo esipheleleyo secebo lantlandlolo loMdali elichaziweyo: indalo apho uThixo nendoda, indoda nebhinqa, uluntu nendalo zimanyene, kwincoko, kumthendeleko. Eli cebo, lacatshukiswa sisono, laphakanyiswa ngendlela emangalisayo ngakumbi nguKristu, Owenza ngokufihlakeleyo kodwa ngokunempumelelo kule nyaniso yangoku, elindele ukuzalisekisa…”  (UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Abaphulaphuli Jikelele, ngoFebruwari 14, 2001) ngokubuyisela isidalwa “ekuphileni kwiNtando yobuThixo” ukuze “Umntu unokubuyela kwimeko yakhe yantlandlolo yokudala, kwimvelaphi yakhe nakwinjongo awayeyilelwe yona,”^[10]UYesu kuLuisa Piccarreta, ngoJuni 3, 1925, Umqu. 17 ke ndiyakholelwa ukuba uYesu, ngokwaKhe, usenokuba wayityhila imfihlakalo yesi sicatshulwa kuMkhonzi kaThixo uLuisa Piccarreta.^[11]cf. Uvuko lweCawa Kodwa okokuqala, masiqonde ukuba olu “vuko lokuqala”—nangona lunokuba nembonakalo yokwenyama, kanye njengokuba kwakukho ukuvuka ngokwasenyameni kwabafileyo ngexesha lovuko lukaKristu.^[12]ukubona Uvuko oluzayo - ngokuyintloko ngokomoya kwindalo:

Uvuko lwabafileyo olulindelekileyo ekupheleni kwexesha sele lufunyenwe okokuqala, ukuzaliseka ngokupheleleyo ngokomoya uvuko, eyona njongo iphambili yomsebenzi wosindiso. Iqulathe kubomi obutsha obunikwe nguKrestu ovusiweyo njengesiqhamo somsebenzi wakhe wokuhlangula. —UPOPE ST. UJOHN PAUL II, Abaphulaphuli Jikelele, ngoAprili 22nd, 1998; IVatican.va

Uthe uThomas Aquinas...

… La magama kufuneka aqondwe ngenye indlela, oko kukuthi, uvuko 'lwasemoyeni', ekuya kuthi ngalo abantu bavuke ezonweni zabo kwisipho sobabalo: ngelixa uvuko lwesibini lolwemizimba. Ulawulo lukaKrestu lubonisa iBandla ekungafeli kubafeli-nkolo kuphela, kodwa nakwabanye abanyuliweyo, icandelo elibonisa konke; okanye balawula noKristu ebuqaqawulini ngokubhekisele kubo bonke, kukhankanywa ngokukhethekileyo ngabafel 'ukholo, kuba Ngokukodwa bayalawula emva kokufa abo babelwela inyaniso, kude kuse ekufeni. -ISumma Theologica, Qu. 77, ubugcisa. 1, rep. 4

Ngenxa yoko, ukuzaliseka ‘koBawo wethu’ kubonakala kunxibelelene “novuko lokuqala” ekubhekiselwa kulo nguYohane Ongcwele ngokuba kusungula ulawulo lukaYesu ngendlela entsha kwinkulungwane yokuqala. ubomi bangaphakathi yeCawa Yakhe: “UBukumkani Bokuthanda kukaThixo”:^[13]“Ngoku, nditsho oku: ukuba umntu akabuyi umva ukuze athathe intando yam njengobomi, njengomthetho kunye nokutya, ukuba ahlanjululwe, ahlanjululwe, ahlulwe, azibeke kuMthetho weNdalo, kwaye athathe intando yam. njengelifa lakhe, ayabelwe nguThixo – yona kanye imisebenzi yentlawulelo neyokungcwaliswa ayisayi kuba namiphumo mininzi. Ke, yonke into ikwiWill yam – ukuba umntu uyayithatha, uthatha yonke into.” (Jesus to Luisa, June 3, 1925 Vol. 17.)

Ngoku, uVuko lwam luphawu lwemiphefumlo eya kuthi ibumba ubuNgcwalisa bayo kwiNtando yam. —UYesu waya eLuisa, Aprili 15, 1919, Umqu. 12

. . . uBukumkani bukaThixo buthetha uKristu ngokwakhe, esinqwenela ukufika mihla le, nokufika kwakhe sinqwenela ukuba kubonakale kamsinya kuthi. Kuba njengokuba eluvuko lwethu, ekubeni sivuka kuye, kwangokunjalo unako ukuqondwa njengobukumkani bukaThixo, kuba siya kulawula kuye. -IKatekism yeCawa yamaKatolika, n. 2816

Apho, ndiyakholwa, unemfundiso yobuthixo “yewaka leminyaka” ngamafutshane. UYesu uyaqhubeka:

… Uvuko lwam lufanekisela abaNgcwele babaphilayo kwiThanda lam - kwaye oku kunesizathu, kuba isenzo ngasinye, igama, inyathelo, njlnjl. Okwenziwe kwiWill yam kukuvuka okungcwele okufunyanwa ngumphefumlo; luphawu lozuko olufumanayo; Kukuphuma kuye ukuze angene kubuThixo, kwaye athande, asebenze kwaye acinge, azifihle kwiLanga elinamandla lokuzithandela kwam ... —UYesu waya eLuisa, Aprili 15, 1919, Umqu. 12

UPopu Pius XII, enyanisweni, waprofeta ngovuko lweCawa phakathi kwexesha kunye nembali ebeya kubona isiphelo sesono esifayo, ubuncinci kwabo bathambekele kwisipho sokuPhila kwintando kaThixo.^[14]cf. Isipho Apha, kukho i-echo ecacileyo yenkcazo engumfuziselo kaLactantius yoMhla weNkosi njengokulandela “ukuphuma nokutshona kwelanga”:

Kodwa kwanobu busuku emhlabeni babonisa imiqondiso ecacileyo yesifingo ezayo, yomhla omtsha yokufumana ukwanga kwelanga elitsha ngakumbi… Ukufa… Ngamnye, uKrestu kufuneka abutshabalalise ubusuku besono esonakeleyo ngokuqala kobabalo. Kwiintsapho, ubusuku bokungakhathali kunye nokuphola kufuneka kunike ilanga lothando. Kwimizi-mveliso, ezixekweni, ezizweni, kumazwe angaqondi nokuthiya ubusuku buye bukhanye njengemini, I-nox sicut die illuminabitur, nembambano iya kuphela kwaye kuya kubakho uxolo. -IPOPE PIUX XII, Urbi et Orbi idilesi, Matshi 2, 1957; IVatican.va

UYesu uthi kuLuisa, ewe, olu luvuko alukho esiphelweni seentsuku kodwa ngaphakathi ixesha, xa umphefumlo uqala phila kwintando kaThixo. 

Intombi yam, eluVukweni lwam, imiphefumlo yafumana amabango afanelekileyo okuba iphinde ivuke kum ibe nobomi obutsha. Kwakungokuqinisekiswa kunye nokutywinwa kobomi bam bonke, kwemisebenzi yam kunye namazwi am. Ukuba ndize emhlabeni yayikukunceda umphefumlo ngamnye ukuba ubenovuko lwaM njengolwabo - ukubanika ubomi kwaye ubenze bavuke eluVukweni lwam. Kwaye uyafuna ukwazi ukuba uvuko lokwenene lomphefumlo lwenzeka nini? Hayi ekupheleni kweentsuku, kodwa ngelixa lisaphila emhlabeni. Lowo uhlala kuThanda lam uvuka ekukhanyeni athi: 'Ubusuku bam buphelile'… ke ngoko, umphefumlo ohlala kumyolelo wam ungatsho, njengoko isithunywa sathi kubafazi abangcwele abasendleleni eya engcwabeni, ' uvukile. Akakho apha. ' Umphefumlo onjalo ohlala kwiNtando yam unokuthi, 'Intando yam ayiseyoyam, kuba ivukile e-Fiat kaThixo.' - Aprili 20, 1938, Umqu. 36

Ngesi senzo soloyiso, uYesu watywina ubunyani bokuba wayenguYe [kuMntu oNgcwele omnye kokubini] enguMntu noThixo, kwaye ngovuko lwaKhe waqinisekisa imfundiso yakhe, imimangaliso yakhe, ubomi beSakramente nobomi bonke beCawe. Ngapha koko, ufumene uloyiso ngaphezulu kokuthanda komntu kuyo yonke imiphefumlo ebuthathaka kwaye ephantse yafa kuyo nayiphi na into elungileyo, ukuze ubomi bokuthanda kukaThixo obabuza kuzisa ubungcwele kunye nazo zonke iintsikelelo kwimiphefumlo ziboyise. —INenekazi lethu eLuisa, Intombikazi ebukumkanini bokuthanda kukaThixo, Usuku 28

Ngamanye amazwi, ngoku uYesu umele agqibe kuthi into awayifezayo ngokuzalwa kwakhe kunye nentlawulelo:

Kuba iimfihlelo zikaYesu azikazaliseki ngokupheleleyo. Baphelele, ngokwenene, kubuntu bukaYesu, kodwa hayi kuthi, abangamalungu aKhe, okanye eCaweni, engumzimba wakhe ofihlakeleyo. —St. U-John Elies, phatha "kubukumkani bukaYesu", Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, VV IV, iphe. 559

Kungoko, uLuisa ethandaza:

[Ndicela] ukuvuswa kweNtando kaThixo ngaphakathi kwentando yomntu; Sonke singavusa kuWe… -Luisa kuYesu, kumjikelo wama-23 kwiLungelo eliNgcwele

 

Umba kaAugustinian

Njengoko benditshilo ngaphambili, amazwi amaninzi eVangeli namaKatolika akholelwa ukuba “irhamncwa” okanye uMchasi-Kristu usondele ekupheleni kwehlabathi. Kodwa njengoko ubona ngasentla, kucacile kumbono weSt emva irhamncwa nomprofeti wobuxoki baphoswa esihogweni (ISityhi 20:10), ayisosiphelo sehlabathi kodwa sisiqalo solawulo olutsha lukaKristu kwabangcwele bakhe, “ixesha loxolo” ebudeni “beminyaka eliwaka.” 

Isizathu sokuma okuchaseneyo kukuba abaphengululi abaninzi bathathe enye ye Ntathu UAugustine waseSt. Augustine wacebisa ngewaka leminyaka. Lo ukhankanywe ngasentla ngoyena ungqinelana nabaSeki beCawa—ukuba ngokwenene kuya kubakho “uphumlo lwesabatha.” Nangona kunjalo, kwinto ebonakala ngathi ikukubuyela umva ngokuchasene nenzondelelo yama-millenarianists, uAugustine naye wacebisa:

… Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku njengoko kwenzekayo kum… [iSt. UJohn] wasebenzisa iminyaka eliwaka njengelingana nawo onke amaxesha eli hlabathi, esebenzisa inani lemfezeko ukuphawula ukuzaliseka kwexesha. —St. UAugustine waseHippo (354-430) AD, Isidima sobuntu "Isixeko sikaThixo ”, Incwadi ye-20, Ch. 7

Olu toliko yeyona nto inokwenzeka ukuba ibanjwe ngumfundisi wakho. Nangona kunjalo, uAugustine wayephakamisa ngokucacileyo uluvo nje - "ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwenzeka kum". Ukanti, abanye baye baluthatha ngokuphosakeleyo olu luvo njengemfundiso, baze bamlahle nabani na othabatha ekaAugustine omnye izikhundla zokuba ngumqhekeki. Umguquleli wethu, umfundisi wezakwalizwi oliNgesi uPeter Bannister, ofunde ngabaseki beCawa bokuqala kunye namaphepha angama-15,000 esityhilelo sangasese esikholelekayo ukususela ngo-1970 ekunye nongasekhoyo oyingcali yaseMariologist uFr. Réné Laurentin, uyavuma ukuba iCawa kufuneka iqalise ukucinga kwakhona ngesi sigqibo sigatya iXesha loXolo (Amillennialism). Enyanisweni, uthi, ithathelwe ixesha elide.

… Ngoku ndiqinisekile ukuba Amillennialism ayisiyiyo kuphela hayi ukubophelela ngokuzibophelelayo kodwa enyanisweni yimpazamo enkulu (njengelinge elininzi kwimbali ukuxhasa iingxoxo zobufundisi, nokuba zintsonkothe ​​kangakanani, ezijongana nokufundwa okucacileyo kwesiBhalo, kule meko IsiTyhilelo 19 no-20). Mhlawumbi lo mbuzo ubungabalulekanga kangako kwiinkulungwane ezidlulileyo, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ngoku… Andinakukhomba ku Ongatshatanga umthombo othembekileyo [wesiprofeto] oxhasa i-eschatology ka-Augustine [uluvo lokugqibela].
