“Ukutshintsha kwemozulu kwenze ingxaki. Umhlaba awuseyondawo ilungileyo yokuphila ngoku sithethayo.

 Abantu baphila phantsi kwengxaki abazifake ngokwabo kuyo. Oososayensi abaninzi bayavuma ukuba ngaba abenze amaqondo obushushu onyuka kakhulu. Oku kwenyuka kwamaqondo obushushu kubangele ukuba imozulu itshintshe loo nto yenza kwakho iintlekele eziyingozi. Nazi ezinye zazo:

•   Imozulu embi njengokonyuka kwamaqondo obushushu, ukunqaba kwemvula, imimoya ebhudlayo ebangele kwakho izikhukula nemililo emikhulu, ixhaphakile namhlanje.

•   Ukunyibilika komkhenkce.

•   Ukugcwala kolwandle.

 Le ngxaki yemozulu ikho kuzo zonke iindawo emhlabeni. Emva kokuthetha ngengxaki ekumazwe ayi-193, iphephandaba iNew York Times lathi: “Umhlaba ufuna uncedo.” Ukutshintsha kwemozulu kwenze abantu baneengxaki baza basweleka, ngoko iWorld Health Organization ithi le yeyona ngxaki inkulu kwimpilo yabantu.”

 Kodwa sinethemba lokuba izinto ziza kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo. IBhayibhile yayithethile ngezinto ezenzeka namhlanje, yachaza isizathu sokuba uThixo eza kungenelela nento aza kuyenza ukuze asikhusele.

 Ewe. IBhayibhile yatsho kwangaphambili ukuba imozulu iza kutshintsha ngenxa yokufudumala komhlaba.

 Isiprofeto: “Ngemihla yokugqibela kuza kufika amaxesha ekunzima ukuwanyamezela. Kuba abantu baza kuthanda iziqu zabo, bathande imali, . . . bangathembeki, . . . babe nenkani, . . . bajikele abahlobo babo, bangafuni kumamela mntu.”—2 Timoti 3:1-4.

 IBhayibhile yathetha ngeempawu zabantu nendlela abenza ngayo izinto eza kubangela ukutshintsha kwemozulu. Oorhulumente noosomashishini bathanda imali kakhulu kangangokuba abayikhathalelanga indlela abaza kuphila ngayo abantu kwixesha elizayo. Noba bangazama ukusebenza kunye kodwa soze bade bavumelane ngento abanokuyenza ukuze behlise ubushushu bomhlaba.

 Esi siprofeto sibonisa ukuba asifanelanga silindele ukuba abantu baza kuyeka ukonakalisa umhlaba. Kodwa iBhayibhile ithi, abantu abazicingela bodwa baza kuhambela phambili ebubini.”—2 Timoti 3:13.

 IBhayibhile ithi uYehova a uThixo, uMdali wethu, uwukhathalele umhlaba nabo bahlala kuwo. Nazi iivesi eziyi-3 zeBhayibhile ezibonisa ukuba uThixo uza kungenelela.

1.  1. UThixo ‘akawudalelanga ukuba uhlale nje umhlaba, kodwa uwudalele ukuba kuhlalwe kuwo.’—Isaya 45:18.

    UThixo uza kuyenza into awayewudalele yona umhlaba. (Isaya 55:11) Akazukuvuma ukuba wonakaliswe okanye kungahlalwa kuwo.

2.  2. “Umhlaba uza kuba ngowabalulamileyo, ibe baza kuphila kamnandi kukho uxolo oluninzi. Umhlaba uza kuba ngowamalungisa, ibe aza kuhlala kuwo ngonaphakade.”—INdumiso 37:11, 29.

    UThixo uthembisa ukuba abantu baza kuphila emhlabeni ngonaphakade babe seluxolweni.

3.  3. “Ke bona abenzi-bubi baza kususwa emhlabeni.”—IMizekeliso 2:22.

    UThixo uthembisa ukuba uza kuba susa abantu abaqhubeka besenza izinto ezimbi, nabo bawumoshayo umhlaba.

 UThixo uza kuzenza njani izinto azithembisileyo kwixesha elizayo? Uza kusebenzisa urhulumente oza kulawula emhlabeni wonke obizwa ngokuba buBukumkani bukaThixo. (Mateyu 6:10) Obo Bukumkani buza kulawula busezulwini. Akuzukufuneka buvumelane noorhulumente babantu ngezinto ezenzeka emhlabeni nakwimozulu. Kodwa uBukumkani bukaThixo buza kuthatha indawo yoorhulumente babantu.—Daniyeli 2:44.

 UBukumkani bukaThixo buza kwenzela abantu izinto ezintle buphelise neengxaki zemozulu. (INdumiso 96:10-13) Nazi izinto uYehova uThixo aza kuzenza esebenzisa uBukumkani bakhe.
