Imbubhiso Ngokuphazima Kweso

—IQingping Township esesiFundazweni saseSichuan yanyamalala kabili ngenxa yokudelela kwayo ivangeli likaNkulunkulu uSomandla lezinsuku zokugcina

UJing Wei, wasesiFundazweni saseSichuan

       Ngesikhathi sokuzamazama okukhulu komhlaba okwenzeka mhla ziyi-12 kuMeyi, 2008, kwanyamalala idolobha lonke: Leyo kwakuyi-Qingping Township endaweni kamasipala waseMianzhu esiFundazweni sase-Sichuan. Ngenxa yokucinywa kolwazi uhulumeni, lena akuyona into eyaziwa abantu abaningi.

       IQingping Township yayisenyakatho-ntshonalanga yendawo eyakhahlamezwa kakhulu yinhlekelele yaseDolobheni iHanwang endaweni kamasipala waseMianzhu. Ngaphambi kokugadla kokuzamazama komhlaba, iphakathi ezintabeni, yayiyindawo yomoya ohlanzekile, amanzi acwebile kanye nezibhakabhaka eziluhlaza, futhi nezintaba zazinenala yezithelo ze-kiwi kanye neze-gingko. UNkulunkulu wanikeza abantu le nala futhi wabahlinzeka ngakho konke ababekudinga ukuze baphile; noma kunjalo abantu ababephila lapho babengamazi uNkulunkulu, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho babengazi ukuthi kumele babonge uNkulunkulu—babekhanukela ingcebo kuphela. Ngenxa yokuba phakathi kwezintaba kwaleli dolobha, ukubukeka kwendawo kwakukuhle ngokwedlulele futhi umoya wawumusha futhi umtoti. Ehlobo, kwakungekho sidingo sokusebenzisa imishini yokubandisa izindlu, kwakuyindawo yomoya ohlanzeke ngokwemvelo, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho kwakuyindawo yokungcebeleka kanye nokuphumula. Abantu basezintabeni bakha ngayinye ngayinye izindlu zokuhlala kwasemakhaya base besebenza ngokuzikhandla bethuthukisa imboni yezokuvakasha laphaya. Yaba futhi yindawo yokungcebeleka kanye nezokuzithokozisa yezisebenzi zikahulumeni abakuwo wonke amazinga, Abasebenzi bakahulumeni abaningi babefisa ukuba sezikhundleni zikahulumeni e-Qingping Township, kanti-ke nabaholi abaningi abasezingeni lesiFundazwe babejwayele ukuvakashela idolobha. Njengoba wonke umuntu azi, noma yikuphi lapho kuya khona izisebenzi zikahulumeni, kudaleka intuthuko kwezomnotho yamahhotela, ama-karaoke bar, ama-health spa, ama-foot massage spa kanye nezindawo zokucwala izinwele zendawo. Ngakho-ke noma iQingping Township yayiphakathi ezintabeni, yayingeyona neze indawo engathuthukile, futhi noma kunjalo yindawo yamadili nokuzitika, amalambu e-neon aphayizayo kanye nomculo kanye nokucula kwasebusuku; izikhulu zeQembu lamaKhomanisi zaphendula le ndawo yobuhle eyayisuka eZulwini yaba yiSodoma yanamuhla.

        Kusukela mhla uNkulunkulu uSomandla ethula umsebenzi Wakhe wezinsuku zokugcina ezindaweni ezisemhlabeni waseShayina, abazalwane basebandleni bahambela izikhathi eziningi leli dolobha elisezintabeni ukuze basabalalise ivangeli. Kodwa abantu babephila kahle futhi bengakhathazekile ngokudla noma izingubo zokugqoka. Babecabanga ukuthi abamdingi uNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke ngaso sonke isikhathi uma abazalwane beza babelinqaba ivangeli futhi baze babathethise imbala abazalwane, bethi: “Okwamanje, impilo ihamba kahle futhi nemigomo yeQembu mihle kakhulu. Niswele into engcono enizoyenza, njengoba nisho lezi zinto, kodwa-ke asikholelwa kulokho enikushoyo. Sikholelwa kuphela emalini!” Abazalwane ngaso sonke isikhathi kwakumele bahambe ibanga elide kangaka ukuze basabalalise ivangeli kulaba bantu, kodwa ngaso sonke isikhathi babebavalela ngaphandle. Abazalwane babebatshela ukuthi leli kwakuyivangeli likaNkulunkulu lezinsuku zokugcina, futhi kwakuyithuba labo elilodwa kanye nelokugcina lokuthi basindiswe, kodwa bavala izindlebe zabo; Abazalwane babatshela ukuthi bonke labo ababengakholelwa kuNkulunkulu uSomandla babengeke bavikelwe uNkulunkulu uma sekufika imbubhiso, kodwa bakushaya indiva lokho. Abantu base-Qingping Township benqaba amazwi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla futhi benqaba ukusindisa kukaNkulunkulu uSomandla—kwakungekho namunye kulelo dolobha owayekholelwa kuNkulunkulu uSomandla!

         Ngo-2:28 ntambama, ngoMeyi 12, 2008, kwagadla ukuzamazama komhlaba. Ngokuphazima kweso kwazamazama umhlaba nezintaba zanyakaza, kwagingqika amadwala amakhulukazi futhi aduma ezintabeni, umoya wagcwala ngaleso sikhathi amafu amakhulu othuli, isibhakabhaka sasisithekile futhi izwe laba mnyama, futhi ezinye izintaba zavele zadilika zase zinyamalala esikhathini esincane nje. Ikhaya lomkhandlu kahulumeni wasekhaya lalisesigodini esiphakathi kwezintaba ezimbili. Ngesikhathi kugadla ukuzamazama komhlaba, isikhala phakathi kwalezi zintaba ezimbili saqala ukuvaleka kwathi, ngokuphazima kweso, iQingping Township yacindezeleka ngaphansi kwalezi zintaba ezidilikayo. Wonke umuntu osedolobheni wangcwabeka, ngomzuzwana nje izintaba ezimbili zahlangana zase zakha intaba eyodwa! Ngalowo mzuzu, kungasasho lutho ukuthi babenemali engakanani, konke kwakungesize ngalutho; imali ayizange izisindise izimpilo zabo, futhi-ke nezikhulu zeQembu lamaKhomanisi azizange zikwazi ukubasindisa! Leli dolobha elingamdumisi uNkulunkulu labhujiswa ngaleso sikhathi! Uma ngicabanga ngale nhlekelele ebanga usizi, ngikhumbula ngesikhathi uJehova efuna ukubhubhisa idolobha laseSodoma. U-Abrahama wancenga uNkulunkulu, ethi: Uma kungenzeka ukuthi kukhona abantu abayishumi abalungile edolobheni, ngabe usazolibhubhisa idolobha? UJehova uNkulunkulu waphendula, wathi: Ngeke ngilibhubhise. Ekugcineni, uLothe kanye nomndeni wakhe kuphela abakwazi ukuphuma beholwa yizingelosi, kanti-ke bonke ababesele babhujiswa umlilo omkhulu owehla uvela ezulwini! (Bheka uGen 18:20-32 no 19:1-25) Leli dolobha elingaguquki, nelalingakhonzi uNkulunkulu kusukela ngalelo sikhathi lasuswa lonke ebusweni bomhlaba, futhi yilokhu okwenzeka eQingping Township. Ngemva kokuthi sekushabalele i-Qingping Township, amabutho akhipha ngaleso sikhathi isimemezelo ezisebenzini kanye namasosha ababebandakanyeka emizamweni yokutakula ukuthi babengavumelekile ukuthi badalule lolu lwazi emazweni angaphandle, ukusetshenziswa kwamaselula abo kwakulawulwa ngokuphelele, babengakwazi ukushayela izingcingo imindeni yabo, futhi uma kukhona owayeputshukise ulwazi kwakuzobhekwana naye ngokuphathelene nomthetho wamasosha.

       Abantu baseQingping Township—ababetheleleke ngenkolo yokuthi akekho uNkulunkulu—abazange bazihlole ngesikhathi kwehla inhlekelele enkulu, futhi abazange nakancane bacabange ngezizathu zokuthukuthela kweZulu; bavele baqhubeka nokwakha imizi yabo emihle ngezandla zabo ezimbili, beqhubeka nokholo olubi lokuthi umuntu anganqoba iZulu, kanye nokuqophisana neZulu! Babengaphenduki.

       Ngemva kokuzamazama komhlaba, indlela okubukeka ngayo zonke izifunda zedolobha lonke yayibe nenguquko enkulu (izintaba eziningi zazidilikile, zisukile noma zihlangene), futhi idolobha lasekuqaleni lalingasabonakali nhlobo; ukwengeza kulokho, izikhukhula ezazehla ezintabeni zavala yonke imigwaqo. Kungenxa yalezo zizathu-ke ukuthi, izikhulu eziphezulu zikahulumeni wasekhaya zanquma ukucima isifunda sokulawula sase-Qingping Township ebalazweni. Futhi noma kunjalo abanye babaholi bekomidi leqembu lesifundazwe, ngenxa yokwakha omunye umsebenzi wokuzigabisa, babefuna ukwakha olunye uhlelo lwasemakhaya lukahulumeni ophathele abantu olusakuhlola, futhi baphikisana nokucinywa kwedolobha. Ngakho-ke, ngaphandle kokungabaza, uhulumeni waqala ukutshala imali eningi kuleya ndawo, futhi waletha ochwepheshe abamnkantsh’ ubomvu kwezobunjiniyela bamabhuloho kanye Nokuhlelwa Kwesifundazwe kanye Nesikhungo seDizayini ukuze bazokwenza uphenyo endaweni, bakhethe indawo okuzokwakhiwa kuyo, badwebe bese bakha kabusha. Ngokukhulu ukushesha, iQingping Township entsha sha, enazo zonke izikhungo zokuyesekela, yaphinde yasungulwa futhi ezintabeni. Yayihlanganisa amahhovisi kahulumeni wendawo, isibhedlela, izikole, izakhiwo okuhlalwa kuzo njalo njalo; futhi konke kwenziwa ngesikhathi esisodwa futhi konke kwakwenziwe kwangokwesimanjemanje. Ukutshala isihlahla esisodwa ekhaya lomuntu, kwakubiza izikhulu zikahulumeni wendawo imali engafinyelela kuma-yuan ayizinkulungwane ezingama-50. Kwathi ngesikhathi lapho wonke umuntu esezizwa enokubonga umgomo weQembu futhi bonke belibele ukujabulela ukuthuthela endaweni engcono, ngo-Agasti 15, 2009, kwavele kwehla izikhukhula esibhakabhakeni ezaya ngokuba namandla, ezabe seziholela ekubhidlikeni komhlaba wehla ezintabeni. Ngokukhulu ukushesha, udaka kanye namadwala adilika ezikhukhuleni ezinamandla ezehla ezintabeni, ziqonde ngqo lapho okwakumi khona iQingping Township entsha. Kwaphinda futhi, ngokuphazima kweso, indawo eyakhiwe kabusha yedolobha likahulumeni yagqibeka ngaphansi kodaka kanye namadwala agelezayo, futhi idolobha laphinde lehlelwa yinhlekelele ebanga usizi futhi! Idolobha laphinda futhi, lasuswa ebusweni bomhlaba!

       Lokhu kwagcwalisa ngokunembayo amazwi kaNkulunkulu uSomandla: “Uma abantu bezwe noma besizwe bengakwazi ukwemukela insindiso kanye nokunakekela kukaNkulunkulu, lelo lizwe noma leso sizwe esinjalo siyohamba indlela eya encithakalweni, eya ebumnyameni, futhi siyobhujiswa nguNkulunkulu.” “Uma ungumKristu ngokweqiniso, uzokholwa ukuthi ukuvuka nokuwa kwanoma iliphi izwe noma isizwe kwenzeka ngokuhlela kukaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu yedwa owazi isiphetho sezwe noma isizwe, futhi uNkulunkulu yedwa olawula inkambo yalesi sintu. Uma isintu sifisa ukuba nesiphetho esihle, uma izwe lifuna ukuba nesiphetho esihle, kufanele umuntu aguqe phansi adumise uNkulunkulu, aphenduke futhi avume phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwalokho isiphetho somuntu ngokungenakugwemeka singagcina ngenhlekelele.” “Sithemba ukuthi alikho izwe noma isizwe esizomelana nalokho uNkulunkulu afisa ukukufeza. Labo abavimba umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, abamelana nezwi likaNkulunkulu, abaphazamisa futhi balimaze uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu, bayojeziswa nguNkulunkulu ekugcineni. Lowo oweyisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uyothunyelwa esihogweni; noma iliphi ilizwe eleyisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu liyobhujiswa; noma isiphi isizwe esivukayo ukumelana nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu siyoshabalaliswa kulo mhlaba, futhi singabe sisaba khona.” (“UNkulunkulu Wengamela Isiphetho Sesintu Sonke” kwincwadi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni).

         Le nhlekelele enkulu isenza sikwazi ukwazi isimo esilungile sikaNkulunkulu! Ukuba kukaNkulunkulu enyameni ngalesi sikhathi kwenzelwe ukusindisa isintu ngokomkhawulo okungafinyeleleka kuwo futhi, ngesikhathi sezinhlekelele, uzoba nomusa kulabo abamthanda ngokweqiniso futhi abamumemezayo, intukuthelo Yakhe izowela kulabo abamedelelayo futhi abangaphenduki! UNkulunkulu uthi: “Inhlekelele ilethwe yiMina futhi ihlelwe yiMina. Uma ungeke usebenzele okuhle ebukhoneni Bami, ngakho ngeke uphephe ekwehlelweni yinhlekelele.” (“Kumele Wenze Izenzo Ezinhle Ezanele Ukulungiselela Isiphetho Sakho” kwincwadi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni)

Okulandelayo, sizokwabelana nabo bonke abantu ngezigameko kanye nobufakazi babazalwane abakholwa kuNkulunkulu uSomandla abahlala ezindaweni ezehlelwa kakhulu inhlekelele ezifana neMianzhu neShifang eSichuan ngokuthi basindiswa kanjani uNkulunkulu kanye nokusinda kwabo ngendlela emangazayo ngesikhathi sokuzamazama komhlaba kuka-“5.12”, besebenzisa okungamaqiniso ukwethula ubufakazi: Amazwi kaNkulunkulu ahlale eyiqiniso elingeguqulwe!
