Matthew 24:4-35

UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: “Qaphelani ningadukiswa muntu. Ngokuba kuyakuza abaningi ngegama lami, bathi: ‘Mina nginguKristu,’ badukise abaningi. Niyakuzwa izimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi. Bhekani ningethuki, ngokuba kumelwe ukuba kwenzeke, kepha ukuphela koba kungakafiki. Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso, kube khona indlala nokuzamazama komhlaba izindawo ngezindawo. Kepha konke lokho kungukuqala kwemihelo. “Lapho-ke bayakunikhaphela osizini, banibulale; niyakuzondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yegama lami. Khona-ke abaningi bayakukhubeka, bakhaphelane, bazondane. Kuyakuvela abaprofethi bamanga abaningi, badukise abaningi. Ngenxa yokwanda kokubi kuzakuphola uthando lwabaningi. Kodwa okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni nguyena oyakusindiswa. Leli vangeli lombuso liyakushunyayelwa ezweni lonke, kube ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke, andukuba kufike ukuphela. “Ngakho-ke nxa nibona amanyala encithakalo ashiwo nguDaniyeli umprofethi emi endaweni engcwele – ofundayo makaqaphele – khona abaseJudiya mababalekele ezintabeni, ophezu kwendlu angehli ukuyothatha okusendlini yakhe, osensimini angabuyeli emuva ukuyothatha ingubo yakhe. Kepha maye kwabakhulelweyo nabancelisayo ngalezo zinsuku! Khulekani ukuba ukubaleka kwenu kungabi sebusika nangesabatha. Ngokuba lapho kuyakuba khona usizi olukhulu olungazange lube khona kwasekuqaleni kwezwe kuze kube manje nolungasayikuba khona. Uma lezo zinsuku zingafinyezwanga, bekungesindiswe muntu; kepha ngenxa yabakhethiweyo lezo zinsuku ziyakufinyezwa. Khona uma umuntu ethi kini: ‘Bhekani, nangu uKristu,’ noma: ‘Nanguya,’ ningakholwa. Ngokuba kuyakuvela okristu bamanga nabaprofethi bamanga, baveze izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimangaliso, ukuze kudukiswe nabakhethiweyo, uma kungenzeka. Bhekani, senginitshelile ngaphambili. “Ngakho-ke uma bethi kini: ‘Bhekani, usehlane,’ ningaphumi; noma bethi: ‘Bhekani, usendlini,’ ningakholwa; ngokuba njengonyazi luphuma empumalanga, lubonakale kuze kube sentshonalanga, kuyakuba njalo ukufika kweNdodana yomuntu. Nomaphi lapho kukhona isidumbu, kulapho amanqe eyakubuthana khona. “Kepha masinyane emva kosizi lwalezo zinsuku “ ‘ilanga liyakufiphazwa, nenyanga ayiyikukhanya, nezinkanyezi ziyakuwa ezulwini, namandla ezulu ayakuzanyazanyiswa.’ “Khona kuyakubonakala ezulwini isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu, bese zikhala izizwe zonke zomhlaba, zibone iNdodana yomuntu iza emafwini ezulu, inamandla nenkazimulo enkulu. Iyakuthuma izingelosi zayo ngokukhala okukhulu kwecilongo, ziqoqe abakhethiweyo bayo emimoyeni yomine, kusukela emkhawulweni omunye wezulu kuze kube komunye. “Fundani umfanekiso emkhiwaneni; nxa igatsha lawo selithamba, lihlume amaqabunga, niyazi ukuthi ihlobo seliseduze. Kanjalo nani, nxa nibona konke lokhu, yazini ukuthi iseduze ngasemnyango. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesi sizukulwane asiyikudlula kungakenzeki konke lokhu. Kuyakudlula izulu nomhlaba, kepha amazwi ami awasoze adlula.

UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: “Qaphelani ningadukiswa muntu. Ngokuba kuyakuza abaningi ngegama lami, bathi: ‘Mina nginguKristu,’ badukise abaningi. Niyakuzwa izimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi. Bhekani ningethuki, ngokuba kumelwe ukuba kwenzeke, kepha ukuphela koba kungakafiki. Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso, kube khona indlala nokuzamazama komhlaba izindawo ngezindawo. Kepha konke lokho kungukuqala kwemihelo. “Lapho-ke bayakunikhaphela osizini, banibulale; niyakuzondwa yizizwe zonke ngenxa yegama lami. Khona-ke abaningi bayakukhubeka, bakhaphelane, bazondane. Kuyakuvela abaprofethi bamanga abaningi, badukise abaningi. Ngenxa yokwanda kokubi kuzakuphola uthando lwabaningi. Kodwa okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni nguyena oyakusindiswa. Leli vangeli lombuso liyakushunyayelwa ezweni lonke, kube ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke, andukuba kufike ukuphela.

UJesu Kristu Futhi ukhulumile eZwini leNkosi Tribulation Period inkathi yosizi eqala phakathi nendawo emavesini alandelayo:

Matthew 24:15-31

“Ngakho-ke nxa nibona amanyala encithakalo ashiwo nguDaniyeli umprofethi emi endaweni engcwele – ofundayo makaqaphele – khona abaseJudiya mababalekele ezintabeni, ophezu kwendlu angehli ukuyothatha okusendlini yakhe, osensimini angabuyeli emuva ukuyothatha ingubo yakhe. Kepha maye kwabakhulelweyo nabancelisayo ngalezo zinsuku! Khulekani ukuba ukubaleka kwenu kungabi sebusika nangesabatha. Ngokuba lapho kuyakuba khona usizi olukhulu olungazange lube khona kwasekuqaleni kwezwe kuze kube manje nolungasayikuba khona. Uma lezo zinsuku zingafinyezwanga, bekungesindiswe muntu; kepha ngenxa yabakhethiweyo lezo zinsuku ziyakufinyezwa. Khona uma umuntu ethi kini: ‘Bhekani, nangu uKristu,’ noma: ‘Nanguya,’ ningakholwa. Ngokuba kuyakuvela okristu bamanga nabaprofethi bamanga, baveze izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimangaliso, ukuze kudukiswe nabakhethiweyo, uma kungenzeka. Bhekani, senginitshelile ngaphambili. “Ngakho-ke uma bethi kini: ‘Bhekani, usehlane,’ ningaphumi; noma bethi: ‘Bhekani, usendlini,’ ningakholwa; ngokuba njengonyazi luphuma empumalanga, lubonakale kuze kube sentshonalanga, kuyakuba njalo ukufika kweNdodana yomuntu. Nomaphi lapho kukhona isidumbu, kulapho amanqe eyakubuthana khona. “Kepha masinyane emva kosizi lwalezo zinsuku “ ‘ilanga liyakufiphazwa, nenyanga ayiyikukhanya, nezinkanyezi ziyakuwa ezulwini, namandla ezulu ayakuzanyazanyiswa.’ “Khona kuyakubonakala ezulwini isibonakaliso seNdodana yomuntu, bese zikhala izizwe zonke zomhlaba, zibone iNdodana yomuntu iza emafwini ezulu, inamandla nenkazimulo enkulu. Iyakuthuma izingelosi zayo ngokukhala okukhulu kwecilongo, ziqoqe abakhethiweyo bayo emimoyeni yomine, kusukela emkhawulweni omunye wezulu kuze kube komunye.

Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi uKristu wakhuluma kuphela ngenkathi yeminyaka eyisikhombisa eyaziwa ngokuthi usizi emavesini 4-31. Nakuba amavesi 4-14 ebonakala enikeza izincazelo ezivamile, ahambisana nencazelo enikezwe ekuqaleni kusAmbulo 6, esibhala imininingwane ephathelene nokuqala kosizi.  UMathewu 24:6-7 uthi kuyoba khona “izimpi namahemuhemu ezimpi…Ngokuba isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso, ezindaweni ngezindawo kube khona indlala nokuzamazama komhlaba.” Lapha, uKristu ukwenza kucace ukuthi impi izodlala indima ebalulekile eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule ngaphambi kokubuya Kwakhe.

Ukucacisa kakhudlwana, ikusasa liphethe okungenani impi yezwe eyodwa ngaphezulu. Akukho lutho emBhalweni othi kuzoba nenani elithile kuphela lezimpi zomhlaba. IMpi Yezwe I neyesi-II akukhulunywanga ngayo ngokucacile emiBhalweni, futhi kungenzeka kube neMpi Yezwe yesithathu. Yimpi yokugcina kuphela eshiwo ngokuningiliziwe, evumela incazelo yokuthi kungase kube nabanye ngaphambi kwengxabano yokugcina.

UJohane uMphostoli waboniswa ukuthi izikhathi zokugcina zaziyoba njani, ikakhulukazi eminyakeni eyisikhombisa yokugcina ngaphambi kokubuya kukaKristu. Kusukela kusAmbulo 6, waloba akubona ngokuphathelene nekusasa. Impi itholakala kulesi sahluko, futhi iyaqhubeka nokuba yingxenye yezenzakalo ezenzekayo kuze kube yilapho uKristu ebuya esahlukweni 19 (IsAmbulo 6:2; 4; 11:7; 12:7; 13:4, 7; 16:14; 17:14; 19:11; 19:19).

IsAmbulo 19:11 sithi, “. . . ngokulunga [uKristu] wahlulela futhi alwe impi.  IsAmbulo 19:19 sithi uJohane “wabona isilo namakhosi omhlaba namabutho awo, ebuthene ukuba alwe naye (uKristu) ohlezi ehhashini, nebutho lakhe. Phawula ngokukhethekile ukuthi lithi amakhosi omhlaba namabutho awo ahlangene ukuze alwe noKristu. Lokhu kuyichaza ngokucacile impi yezwe. Kufanele futhi kuqashelwe ukuthi umnqobi kule mpi ngokusobala uKristu, obamba isilo/umphikukristu nomprofethi wamanga futhi abaphonse echibini lomlilo, futhi amabutho abalandelayo bayabhujiswa (IsAmbulo 19:20-21). Ngakho, nakuba kusazoba khona impi yezwe eyodwa, akungabazeki ukuthi umphumela uyoba khona—ukulunga kuyobusa njengoba uKristu, iNkosi yamakhosi noMbusi wababusi, enqoba bonke abamelene Naye.

Kuyafaneleka futhi ukubalula ngalesi sikhathi ukuthi ngemva kokubusa kukaKristu kweminyaka eyinkulungwane, kuyoba nokunye ukuvukela okungase kube nempi yezwe. USathane uzoboshwa iminyaka eyinkulungwane bese ekhululwa. Lapho ekhululwa, uhola ukuhlubuka phakathi kwabantu bomhlaba. UKristu ngokushesha ubeka phansi lokhu kuhlubuka futhi ahlulele unomphela uSathane, amphonsa echibini lomlilo njengoba Enza ngesilo/umphikukristu nomprofethi wamanga (IsAmbulo 20:7-10).
