“Kuphela kwendlala.” Lawa ngemavi laveta umgomo webaholi bemave mayelana nalenye yetinkinga letinkhulu letikhungetse bantfu, lokukwenetisa bonkhe bantfu ngekudla emhlabeni.a Nobe kunjalo, kutawuke kwewnteke yini kutsi kungasabi nendlala emhlabeni? Litsini liBhayibheli?

LiBhayibheli laphrofetha ngenkinga yekuswelakala kwekudla lamuhla

LiBhayibheli laphrofetha ngekuswelakala kwekudla lobekutawenteka esikhatsini lesiphila kuso, lokusikhatsi lelisibita ngekutsi ‘ngemalanga ekugcina.’ (2 KuThimothi 3:1) Nkulunkulu akakubangeli lokuswelakala kwekudla, kodvwa usecwayisile ngako. (Jakobe 1:13) Naka nati tiphrofetho letimbili letiseBhayibhelini.

“Kutawuba khona indlala . . . etindzaweni letehlukahlukene.” (Matewu 24:7) Lesiphrofetho lesiseBhayibhelini sabiketela ngekwandza kwendlala. Umbiko wakamuva lophawulekako lovetwe ngulabo labanake indlela kudla lokukhicitwa nalokusakatwa ngayo utsi: “Indlala kanye nekuswelakala kwekudla lokunemphilo nalokwenela kusimo lesiya ngekuba sibi kakhulu.”b Tigidzi tebantfu emaveni lamanyenti atikutfoli kudla letikudzingako. Lokubuhlungu kutsi ngenca yaloko, bantfu labanyenti bayafa.

“Ngatsi nangibuka ngabona lihhashi lelimnyama; lobekaligibele bekaphetse sikali esandleni sakhe.” (Sembulo 6:5) Lelihhashi lelingekwemfanekiso kanye naloyo lobekaligibele kumelela indlala kulamalanga ekugcina.c Lesikali lesisesandleni salomgibeli walelihhashi sisetjentiselwa kukala kudla kuze bantfu batfole kudla lokuncane. Njengobe lomgibeli walelihhashi aligibele, kuvakala livi lelimemetela kutsi emanani ekudla atawenyuka kakhulu, futsi lecwayisa bantfu kutsi bangakumoshi kudla lokusisekelo. (Sembulo 6:6) Loku kuyiveta kahle indlela kudla lokuswelakala ngayo lamuhla njenogbe tigidzigidzi tebantfu tingakhoni kukutfola nobe kutsenga kudla lokunemphilo.
