UmBhalo - Iminyaka Eyinkulungwane

Ngase ngibona ingelosi yehla ezulwini, iphethe isihluthulelo sakwalasha neketanga elinzima esandleni sayo. Yambamba udrako, inyoka yakudala, onguDeveli noma uSathane, yambopha iminyaka eyinkulungwane, yamphonsa kwalasha, yamvalela, yavala uphawu, ukuze angabe esakwazi ukudukisa izizwe, iminyaka eyinkulungwane isiphelile. Ngemva kwalokhu, kufanele ikhululwe isikhathi esifushane.

Ngase ngibona izihlalo zobukhosi; ababehlezi phezu kwazo baphathiswe ukwahlulela. Ngabona nemiphefumulo yalabo ababenqunywe amakhanda ngenxa yobufakazi babo ngoJesu nangenxa yezwi likaNkulunkulu, nabangazange bakhulekele isilo nomfanekiso waso, noma balwamukele uphawu lwaso emabunzini abo noma ezandleni zabo. Baphila futhi babusa kanye noKristu iminyaka eyinkulungwane. ( IsAmbulo 20:1-4 . Ukufundwa kweMisa lokuqala ngoLwesihlanu)

 

Mhlawumbe, awukho umBhalo ohunyushwa kabanzi, ophikiswana ngokulangazela nokuhlukanisa, kunalesi siqephu seNcwadi yesAmbulo. ESontweni lokuqala, amakholwa angamaJuda ayekholelwa ukuthi “iminyaka eyinkulungwane” yayibhekisela ekubuyeni kukaJesu ngokoqobo babuse emhlabeni futhi bamise umbuso wezombangazwe phakathi kwamadili enyama nemikhosi.^[1]“...oyobe esevuka futhi eyojabulela isikhathi sokungcebeleka samadili enyama angenasilinganiselo, ahlinzekwa ngenani lenyama neziphuzo ezinjengokushaqisa nje kuphela umuzwa womoya opholile, kodwa ngisho nokudlula isilinganiso sokuthatheka ngokwakho.” (St. Augustine, Idolobha likaNkulunkulu, Bk. XX, Ch. 7) Nokho, oFata beSonto bakuqeda ngokushesha lokho okwakulindelwe, bethi kuwukuhlubuka—lokho esikubiza ngokuthi namuhla Millenarianism ^[2]bheka Millenarianism - Kuyini futhi akunjalo futhi Ilahlekile kanjani i-Era.

Labo abathatha [IsAm 20: 1-6] ngokoqobo futhi bayakukholwa lokho UJesu uzoza ukubusa emhlabeni iminyaka eyinkulungwane ngaphambi kokuphela komhlaba kuthiwa ama-millenarists. -Leo J. Trese, Ukuchazwa Kokholo, p. 153-154, Sinag-Tala Publishers, Inc UNihil Obstat futhi Imprimatur)

Ngakho, i Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika kusho:

Inkohliso Umphik'ukristu isivele iqala ukubonakala emhlabeni ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho isimangalo senziwe ukuze siqaphele emlandweni ukuthi ithemba likaMesiya elingafezeka kuphela ngale komlando ngokusebenzisa isahlulelo se-eschatological. IBandla linqabile ngisho nezinhlobo eziguquliwe zalokhu kukhohlisa kombuso ozovela ngaphansi kwegama le-millenarianism. (577), ikakhulukaziy uhlobo lwezombangazwe “oluhlanekezelwe kakhulu” lukamesiya wezwe. -hhayi. 676

Umbhalo ongezansi 577 ngenhla usiholela emsebenzini kaDenzinger-Schonnmetzer (I-Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et isimilo,) okuyinto ilandelela ukuthuthukiswa kwezimfundiso nemfundiso eSontweni LamaKatolika kusukela ezikhathini zalo zokuqala:

 

Iyini “iminyaka eyinkulungwane”?

Namuhla, kunemibono eminingi ngokuthi iyini ngempela le nkulungwane yeminyaka uSt. John abhekisela kuyo. Okubalulekile kumfundi wemiBhalo, nokho, ukuthi ukuhunyushwa kweBhayibheli akuyona into encike kumuntu. Kwakusemikhandlwini yaseCarthage (393, 397, 419 AD) kanye neHippo (393 AD) lapho “canon” noma izincwadi zeBhayibheli, njengoba thina maKhatholika sizigcina namuhla, zasungulwa ngabalandela abaPhostoli. Ngakho-ke, kuseBandleni lapho sibheka khona incazelo yeBhayibheli, “eliyinsika nesisekelo seqiniso.”^[6]I-1 Tim 3: 15

Ikakhulukazi, sibheka ku- Obaba BeSonto Lokuqala ababengabokuqala ukwamukela nokuthuthukisa ngokucophelela “idiphozithi yokuKholwa” eyadluliselwa kuKristu yayiswa kubaPhostoli.

… Uma kungavela omunye umbuzo omusha okunganikwanga sinqumo esinjalo, kufanele babhekise emibonweni yoFata abangcwele, yalabo okungenani, abathi, ngamunye ngesikhathi sakhe nasendaweni yakhe, basale ebunyeni besidlo nasenkolweni, bamukelwa njengamakhosi avunyelwe; futhi noma yini lezi ezingatholakala zithathwa, ngamqondo munye nangemvume eyodwa, lokhu kufanele kuthathwe njengemfundiso eyiqiniso neyamaKatolika yeSonto, ngaphandle kokungabaza noma ukudideka. —USt. UVincent waseLerins, Okuvamile ka-434 AD, “For the Antiquity and Universality of the Catholic Faith Against the Profane Novelties of All Heresies”, uCh. 29, n. 77

OFata BeSonto Lokuqala babevumelana ngazwi linye ukuthi “iminyaka eyinkulungwane” uJohane oNgcwele ayebhekisela kuyo “ngosuku lweNkosi”.^[7]I-2 Thess 2: 2  Nokho, abazange bahumushe le nombolo ngokwezwi nezwi:

… Siyaqonda ukuthi inkathi yeminyaka eyinkulungwane ikhonjiswa ngolimi olungokomfanekiso… Indoda phakathi kwethu egama layo linguJohane, omunye wabaPhostoli bakaKristu, wemukela futhi wabikezela ukuthi abalandeli bakaKristu bazohlala eJerusalema iminyaka eyinkulungwane, nokuthi emva kwalokho ukuvuswa nokwahlulelwa okungunaphakade kuzokwenzeka emhlabeni wonke, futhi ngamafuphi. —St. UJustin Martyr, Ingxoxo noTrypho, Obaba beBandla, Amagugu ObuKristu

Ngakho-ke:

Bheka, uSuku lweNkosi luyakuba yiminyaka eyinkulungwane. —Ingxenye kaBarnaba, Obaba beBandla, Ch. 15

Inkulumo yabo yayingaveli kuSt. John kuphela kodwa uSt. Peter, upapa wokuqala:

Unganaki leli qiniso elilodwa, bathandekayo, ukuthi eNkosini usuku olulodwa lufana neminyaka eyinkulungwane neminyaka eyinkulungwane injengosuku olulodwa. (I-2 Peter 3: 8)

UBaba Wesonto uLactantius wachaza ukuthi uSuku LweNkosi, nakuba kungelona usuku lwamahora angu-24, lumelwe yilo:

… Lolu suku lwethu, oluboshwe ekuphumeni nasekushoneni kwelanga, luyisibonakaliso salolo suku olukhulu umjikelezo weminyaka eyinkulungwane uncike ngalo emikhawulweni yawo. —ULactantius, Obaba beBandla: Izikhungo Zaphezulu, Incwadi VII, Isahluko 14, i-Catholic Encyclopedia; www.newadvent.org

Ngakho, ngokulandela ukulandelana kwezikhathi okuqondile kukaJohane oNgcwele kusAmbulo izahluko 19 no-20, babekholelwa ukuthi uSuku lweNkosi:

• iqala ebumnyameni bomlindelo (inkathi yokungabi namthetho nokuhlubuka) [cf. 2 Thesalonika 2:1-3.

• crescendos ebumnyameni (ukuvela “kongenamthetho” noma “Umphikukristu”) [cf. 2 Thesalonika 2:3-7; IsAmb 13]

• kulandelwa ukuntwela kokusa (ukuboshwa kukaSathane nokufa komphikukristu) [cf. 2 Thes 2:8; IsAm 19:20; IsAmbulo 20:1-3

• kulandelwa isikhathi sasemini (inkathi yokuthula) [cf. IsAmbulo 20:4-6;

• kwaze kwashona ilanga ngesikhathi nomlando (ukuphakama kukaGogi noMagogi kanye nokuhlaselwa kokugcina kweBandla) [IsAm 20:7-9] lapho uSathane ephonswa esihogweni lapho umphikukristu (isilo) nomprofethi wamanga babekade bekhona phakathi “neminyaka eyinkulungwane” [IsAmbulo 20:10].

Lelo phuzu lokugcina libalulekile. Isizathu siwukuthi uzozwa abashumayeli abaningi beVangeli namaKatolika namuhla bethi Umphikukristu uvela ekupheleni kwesikhathi. Kodwa ukufunda okucacile kwe-Saint John's Apocalypse kusho okuhlukile - kanjalo noFata BeSonto:

Kepha uma umphik'ukristu esezichithile zonke izinto kulomhlaba, uyakubusa iminyaka emithathu nezinyanga eziyisithupha, ahlale ethempelini eJerusalema; khona-ke iNkosi izofika ivela ezulwini ngamafu… ithumele lo muntu nalabo abamlandelayo echibini lomlilo; kepha ukuletha ukulunga kwezikhathi zombuso, okungukuthi, okuseleyo, kungcweliswe usuku lwesikhombisa… Lokhu kuzokwenzeka ngezikhathi zombuso, okungukuthi, ngosuku lwesikhombisa… iSabatha leqiniso labalungile. —St. U-Irenaeus waseLyons, uBaba weSonto (140- 202 AD); I-Adversus Haereses, u-Irenaeus waseLyons, V.33.3.4,Obaba beBandla, I-CIMA Publishing Co

Uyakushaya oyisihluku ngenduku yomlomo wakhe, abulale omubi ngomoya wezindebe zakhe; impisi iyohlala ewundlu, ingwe ibuthise nezinyane lembuzi... limaza noma uchithe kuyo yonke intaba yami engcwele; ngokuba umhlaba uyakugcwala ukumazi uJehova njengamanzi asibekela ulwandle. (Isaya 11:4-9; IsAmbulo 19:15)

Mina kanye nawo wonke amanye amaKristu angokwenkolo sinomuzwa wokuthi kuyoba khona ukuvuka kwenyama okulandelwa iminyaka eyinkulungwane edolobheni laseJerusalema elakhiwe kabusha, elihlotshisiwe, nelikhulisiwe, njengoba kwamenyezelwa abaProfethi uHezekeli, u-Isaya nabanye. -St. U-Justin Martyr, Ingxoxo no-Trypho, uCh. 81, Obaba beBandla, Amagugu ObuKristu

Phawula, oFata beSonto kanyekanye babiza “iminyaka eyinkulungwane” ngokuthi “uSuku LweNkosi” nangokuthi “ukuphumula kwesabatha.” Lokhu bakususela endabeni yendalo kaGenesise lapho uNkulunkulu ephumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa...^[8]IGen 2: 2

… Kube sengathi kuyinto efanelekile ukuthi abangcwele ngaleyo ndlela bajabulele uhlobo lokuphumula kweSabatha ngaleyo nkathi [“yeminyaka eyinkulungwane”]… Futhi lo mbono ubungeke uphikiswe, uma bekukholelwa ukuthi injabulo yabangcwele , kulelo Sabatha okungokomoya, futhi ngokulandelana ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu… —St. U-Augustine waseHippo (354-430 AD; Udokotela weSonto), I-De Civival Dei, Bk. XX, uCh. 7, iCatholic University of America Press

Ngakho-ke, ukuphumula kwesabatha kusasalele kubantu bakaNkulunkulu. (Hebheru 4: 9)

Encwadini kaBarnaba kaBaba wabaphostoli wekhulu lesibili, ifundisa:

… INdodana yakhe izofika ibhubhise isikhathi somuntu ongenamthetho, yahlulele abangamhloniphi uNkulunkulu, iguqule ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi, khona-ke uyophumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa…. ukuqala kosuku lwesishiyagalombili, okungukuthi, ukuqala kwelinye izwe. —I-Letter of uBarnaba (70-79 AD), eyabhalwa uBaba WabaPhostoli wekhulu lesibili

Nalapha futhi, ekwambulweni okungokwesiprofetho okuvunyiwe, sizwa iNkosi Yethu iqinisekisa lokhu kubalwa kwezikhathi kuka-St. John and the Church Fathers:

Umbono wami eNdalweni kwakuwuMbuso Wentando yami emphefumulweni wesidalwa; inhloso yami eyinhloko kwakuwukwenza umuntu umfanekiso kaZiqu-zintathu Waphezulu ngenxa yokugcwaliseka kweNtando yami phezu kwakhe. Kodwa njengoba umuntu ehoxa kuLo, ngalahlekelwa uMbuso wami kuye, futhi isikhathi eside esingangeminyaka engu-6000 kwadingeka ngilwe impi ende. —UJesu ENcekwini KaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta, encwadini yezenzakalo zezenzakalo zikaLuisa, Umq. XIX, Juni 20, 1926

Ngakho-ke, lapho unentambo ecace kakhulu nenganqamuki evela kuzo zombili izambulo zika-St. John, ekuthuthukisweni kwabo kubaFata beBandla, ekwambulweni kwangasese ukuthi—ngaphambi kokuphela kwezwe—kuyoba “usuku lwesikhombisa” lokuphumula, a. “uvuko” lweBandla ngemva kwesikhathi soMphikukristu.

U-St. Thomas no-St John Chrysostom bachaza amagama la quin Dominus Jesus destruet illustre adventus sui (“INkosi uJesu eyombhubhisa ngokukhazimula kokuza kwayo”) ngomqondo wokuthi uKristu uzoshaya umphikukristu ngokumkhazimulisa ngokukhazimula okuzoba njengebika nesibonakaliso sokuza kwakhe kwesibili… enegunya buka, futhi okubonakala kuvumelana kakhulu noMbhalo oNgcwele, ukuthi, emva kokuwa komphik 'ukristu, iSonto lamaKhatholika lizophinda lingene esikhathini sokuchuma nokunqoba. -Ukuphela Kwezwe Lamanje Nezimfihlakalo Zempilo Yesikhathi Esizayo, UFr. UCharles Arminjon (1824-1885), k. 56-57; ISophia Institute Press

… [ISonto] lizolandela iNkosi yalo ekufeni kwayo nokuvuka kwabafileyo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, 677

 

Luyini “uvuko lokuqala”?

Kodwa luyini ngempela lolu “vuko lokuqala.” UKhadinali odumile uJean Daniélou (1905-1974) wabhala:

Isiqiniseko esibalulekile sesesigaba esiphakathi lapho abangcwele abavukile besesemhlabeni futhi bengazange bangene esigabeni sabo sokugcina, ngoba lesi ngesinye sezici zemfihlakalo yezinsuku zokugcina okumelwe zembulwe. -Umlando Wokufundisa Kwasekuqaleni KwamaKristu Phambi Komkhandlu WaseNicea, I-1964, iphe. 377

Nokho, uma inhloso yeNkathi Yokuthula kanye “neminyaka eyinkulungwane” kuwukuphinde kumiswe ukuvumelana kwasekuqaleni kwendalo.^[9]“Yilokhu-ke isenzo esiphelele sohlelo lokuqala loMdali oluchazwe: indalo lapho uNkulunkulu nomuntu, owesilisa nowesifazane, isintu kanye nemvelo kuzwana, ekuxoxisaneni, ekuhlanganyeleni. Lelisu, lacasulwa yisono, lathathwa ngendlela emangalisayo kakhulu nguKristu, Owenza ngendlela engaqondakali kodwa ngokuphumelelayo esimweni samanje, elindele ukugcwaliseka…”  (UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, Izethameli Jikelele, February 14, 2001) ngokubuyisela isidalwa “ekuphileni Entandweni Yaphezulu” ukuze “Umuntu angase abuyele esimweni sakhe sasekuqaleni sendalo, emsukeni wakhe, nenjongo ayedalelwe yona,”^[10]Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta, June 3, 1925, Umq. 17 ngakho-ke ngikholwa ukuthi uJesu, uqobo Lwakhe, kungenzeka ukuthi uvule imfihlakalo yalesi siqephu kuNceku kaNkulunkulu uLuisa Piccarreta.^[11]qhathanisa Ukuvuswa KweSonto Kodwa okokuqala, masiqonde ukuthi lolu “vuko lokuqala” - nakuba lungaba nesimo somzimba, njengoba kwakukhona ukuvuka kwabafileyo okungokwenyama ngesikhathi sokuVuka kukaKristu uqobo.^[12]bheka Uvuko Oluzayo - ngokuyinhloko okungokomoya ngokwemvelo:

Ukuvuswa kwabafileyo okulindeleke ekupheleni kwesikhathi kakade sekuqala ukugcwaliseka, okuwujuqu okungokomoya uvuko, inhloso eyinhloko yomsebenzi wensindiso. Kutholakala empilweni entsha eyanikezwa uKristu ovusiwe njengesithelo somsebenzi wakhe wokuhlenga. — UPOPE ST. UJOHN PAUL II, Izilaleli Ezivamile, ngo-April 22, 1998; v Vatican.va

Kusho uThomas Aquinas...

… Lawa magama kufanele aqondwe ngenye indlela, okungukuvuka 'komoya', lapho abantu beyovuka futhi ezonweni zabo esipho somusa: ngenkathi uvuko lwesibili lungolwemizimba. Ukubusa kukaKristu kufanekisa iSonto lapho kungafeli abafel 'ukholo nje kuphela, kodwa futhi nabanye ababusi ababusayo, ingxenye ekhombisa konke; noma babusa noKristu enkazimulweni ngokuqondene nabo bonke, kukhulunywa ngokukhethekile ngabafel 'ukholo, ngoba ikakhulukazi babusa emva kokufa abalwela iqiniso, baze bafa. -ISumma Theologica, Qu. 77, ubuciko. 1, rep. 4

Ngakho, ukugcwaliseka ‘kukaBaba Wethu’ kubonakala kuhambisana “novuko lokuqala” uSt. impilo yangaphakathi yeBandla Lakhe: “Umbuso Wentando Yaphezulu”:^[13]“Manje, ngisho lokhu: uma umuntu engajiki emuva ukuze athathe intando yami njengokuphila, njengomthetho futhi njengokudla, ukuze ahlanzwe, ahlonishwe, ahlukaniswe, azibeke eMthethweni Wokudala, futhi athathe Intando yami. njengefa lakhe, ayabelwe nguNkulunkulu - yona kanye Imisebenzi yokuhlenga neyokungcweliswa ngeke ibe nemiphumela yayo echichimayo. Ngakho-ke, yonke into iku-Will yami - uma umuntu eyithatha, uthatha yonke into." (Jesus to Luisa, June 3, 1925 Vol. 17

Manje, ukuVuka kwami ​​kuwuphawu lwemiphefumulo ezokwakha ubungcwele bayo eNtandweni yami. —UJesu kuya eLuisa, ngo-Ephreli 15, 1919, Umq. 12

…umbuso kaNkulunkulu usho uKristu uqobo lwakhe, esifisa ukuba eze nsuku zonke, nokufika kwakhe esifisa ukuba kubonakale masinyane kithi. Ngokuba njengalokhu engukuvuka kwethu, lokhu sivuka kuye, kanjalo angaqondwa njengombuso kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba siyakubusa ngaye. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika, n. 2816

Lapho, ngiyakholwa, unemfundiso yenkolo “yeminyaka eyinkulungwane” ngamafuphi. UJesu uyaqhubeka:

… Uvuko lwami lufanekisela abaSanta babaphilayo kwiWill My - futhi lokhu kunesizathu, ngoba isenzo ngasinye, igama, isinyathelo, njll. Okwenziwe kwiThanda lami kungukuvuka okungcwele okutholwa ngumphefumulo; wuphawu lwenkazimulo alutholayo; kungukuphuma kuye ukuze angene ebuNkulunkulwini, futhi athande, asebenze futhi acabange, azifihle kwiLanga eligcwele amandla engqondo yami… —UJesu kuya eLuisa, ngo-Ephreli 15, 1919, Umq. 12

UPapa Pius XII, eqinisweni, waprofetha ngovuko lweSonto phakathi nenkathi yesikhathi nomlando lokho kwakuyobona ukuphela kwesono esifayo, okungenani kulabo abathambekele eSiphweni Sokuphila Ngentando Yaphezulu.^[14]qhathanisa The Gift Lapha, kunokunanela okucacile kwencazelo kaLactantius engokomfanekiso yoSuku lweNkosi njengokulandela “ukuphuma nokushona kwelanga”:

Kepha kepha ngalobu busuku emhlabeni kukhombisa izibonakaliso zokukhanya kokusa okuzayo, kosuku olusha ukuthola ukwanga kwelanga elisha nelikhanyayo… Ukuvuka kukaJesu kuyadingeka: uvuko lweqiniso, olungavumi ukuba yinkosi Ukufa… Ngamuntu ngamunye, uKrestu kufanele abhubhise ubusuku besono esikuwo ngokuvuka komusa abuyiselwe. Emindenini, ubusuku bokunganaki nokuphola kumele bube yilanga lothando. Kumafektri, emadolobheni, ezizweni, emazweni angaqondi futhi enenzondo ubusuku kumele bukhanye njengosuku, nox sicut die illuminabitur, umbango uyophela futhi kube nokuthula. — UPOPE PIUX XII, U-Urbi et Orbi ikheli, Mashi 2nd, 1957; v Vatican.va

UJesu uthi kuLuisa ukuthi, impela, lolu vuko alukho ekupheleni kwezinsuku kodwa lungaphakathi isikhathi, lapho umphefumulo uqala phila ngentando yaphezulu. 

Indodakazi yami, Ekuvukeni Kwami, imiphefumulo yathola izimangalo ezifanele zokuvuka futhi kiMi empilweni entsha. Kwakuwukuqinisekiswa nokusayinwa kwempilo Yami yonke, yemisebenzi Yami namazwi Ami. Uma ngiza emhlabeni bekungukuvumela umphefumulo ngamunye ukuthi ukwazi ukuzuza uvuko Lwami njengolwabo - ukubanikeza impilo nokubenza bavuke Ekuvukeni Kwami uqobo. Futhi ufisa ukwazi ukuthi uvuko lwangempela lomphefumulo lwenzeka nini? Hhayi ekupheleni kwezinsuku, kepha ngenkathi isaphila emhlabeni. Lowo ohlala eNtandweni Yami uvuka ekukhanyeni bese ethi: 'Ubusuku bami sebudlulile'… Ngakho-ke, umphefumulo ohlala kwiWill yami ungasho, njengoba ingelosi yathi kwabesifazane abangcwele abasendleleni eya ethuneni, ' uvukile. Akasekho lapha. ' Umphefumulo onjalo ohlala eNtandweni Yami futhi ungathi, 'Intando yami akusewona owami, ngoba uvukile eFiat kaNkulunkulu.' - Ephreli 20, 1938, Umq. 36

Ngalesi senzo sokunqoba, uJesu waqinisa iqiniso lokuthi wayenguMuntu noNkulunkulu, futhi ngovuko lwakhe waqinisekisa imfundiso yakhe, izimangaliso zakhe, impilo yamaSakramente nempilo yonke yeSonto. Ngaphezu kwalokho, Uthole ukunqoba ngaphezu kwentando yomuntu yayo yonke imiphefumulo ebuthakathaka futhi ecishe yafa ngenxa yanoma ikuphi ukulunga kwangempela, ukuze impilo yeNtando Yaphezulu eyayizoletha ukugcwala kobungcwele nazo zonke izibusiso emiphefumulweni ibanqobe. —INkosikazi Yethu eLuisa, Intombazanyana embusweni wentando yaphezulu, Usuku 28

Ngamanye amazwi, uJesu manje kumelwe aqedele kithi lokho Akufeza Ngokuba Senyameni Nokuhlengwa Kwakhe:

Ngoba izimfihlakalo zikaJesu azikapheleliswa ngokuphelele futhi zigcwaliseke. Baphelele, ngempela, ngobuntu bukaJesu, kodwa hhayi kithi, esingamalungu Akhe, noma eBandleni, elingumzimba Wakhe ongaqondakali. —St. UJohn Elies, qaphela "EMbusweni KaJesu", Imfundo yamahora, IVol IV, ikhasi 559

Ngakho-ke, uyakhuleka uLuisa:

[Ngincenga] ukuvuswa kweNtando Yaphezulu ngaphakathi kwentando yomuntu; sengathi sonke singavuka kuWe… —Luisa to Jesus, 23rd In the Divine Will

 

I-Augustinian Factor

Njengoba ngishilo ekuqaleni, amazwi amaningi eVangeli neKhatholika akholelwa ukuthi “isilo” noma Umphikukristu ufika ngasekugcineni komhlaba. Kodwa njengoba ubona ngenhla, kusobala embonweni kaSt ngemuva isilo nomprofethi wamanga baphonswa esihogweni (IsAm 20: 10), akukhona ukuphela kwezwe kodwa ukuqala kokubusa okusha kukaKristu kwabangcwele bakhe, "inkathi yokuthula" phakathi "neminyaka eyinkulungwane." 

Isizathu salesi sikhundla esiphambene ukuthi izazi eziningi zithathe enye yazo ezintathu Imibono eyaphakanyiswa uSt. Augustine mayelana nenkulungwane yeminyaka. Lona ocashunwe ngenhla uvumelana kakhulu noFata BeSonto - ukuthi kuyoba khona ngempela “ukuphumula kwesabatha.” Nokho, kulokho okubonakala kuwukuphikisa ukushisekela kwabakholelwa eminyakeni eyinkulungwane, u-Augustine naye wahlongoza:

… Kuze kufike kimi… [iSt. UJohn] wasebenzisa iminyaka eyinkulungwane njengelingana nayo sonke isikhathi salomhlaba, esebenzisa inani lokupheleliswa ukuphawula ukugcwala kwesikhathi. —USt. U-Augustine waseHippo (354-430) AD, I-De Civival Dei "Idolobha LikaNkulunkulu ”, Incwadi 20, Ch. 7

Le ncazelo iyona okungenzeka ukuthi iphethwe umfundisi wakho. Kodwa-ke, u-Augustine wayephakamisa ngokucacile umbono nje - "ngoba kwenzeka kimi". Nokho, abanye baye bathatha ngokungalungile lo mbono njengemfundiso, futhi baye baphonsa noma ubani othatha oka-Augustine nezinye izikhundla zokuba yimbuka. Umhumushi wethu, isazi sezenkolo esiyiNgisi uPeter Bannister, ofunde kokubili oFata beBandla bokuqala kanye namakhasi angaba ngu-15,000 esambulo esiyimfihlo esithembekile kusukela ngo-1970 kanye no-Mariologist ongasekho uFr. Réné Laurentin, uyavuma ukuthi iBandla kumele liqale ukucabanga kabusha ngalesi sikhundla esilahla iNkathi Yokuthula (i-amillennialism). Eqinisweni, uthi, isikhathi eside.

… Senginesiqiniseko sokuthi lokho i-amillennialism akuyona kuphela hhayi ukubophezela ngokuqinile kodwa empeleni kube yiphutha elikhulu (njengemizamo eminingi emlandweni yokusekela izimpikiswano zemfundiso yenkolo, noma ngabe zithuthuke kangakanani, eziphikisana nokufundwa okusobala kweMibhalo, kulokhu iSambulo 19 no-20). Mhlawumbe lo mbuzo ubungabalulekile kangako emakhulwini eminyaka adlule, kepha manje usukwenza njalo… Angikwazi ukukhomba a single umthombo othembekile [ongokwesiprofetho] osekela i-eschatology ka-Augustine [umbono wokugcina].
