Mhlaka 19 May 2022, i-United Nations Security Council yathola umbiko ovela kuziphathamandla ezedlula-75 otshengisa ukuthi “indlala ebivele ithwalise abantu nzima ngenxa yomkhuhlane weCOVID-19 lokutshintsha komkhathi isizangezeleleka ngenxa yempi ese-Ukraine.” Imagazini okuthiwa yi-The Economist layo ibika ukuthi “abantu bavele balenhlupho ezinengi kodwa sezizangezeleleka ngenxa yendlala.” IBhayibhili lalivele likhulumile ukuthi kwakuzakuba lendlala ensukwini zokucina. Lanxa kunjalo liphinda lisinike ithemba.

•   UJesu wathi: “Isizwe sizavukela isizwe, lombuso uvukele umbuso. Kuzakuba lokuswelakala kokudla.”—UMathewu 24:7.

•   Ibhuku leSambulo lisitshela ngabagadi bamabhiza abane. Omunye umgadi webhiza leli umela impi. Ulandelwa ngomunye umgadi omela indlala ngoba ngesikhathi leso ukudla kuzahlupha ukutholakala njalo kuyabe kudula okuzwayo. IBhayibhili lithi: ‘Ngasengibona nanto ibhiza elimnyama! Owayeligadile wayephethe isikali sokulinganisa esandleni sakhe. Ngezwa okwakuzwakala angathi lilizwi, lisithi: ‘Ilitha eyodwa yengqoloyi ngodenariyu, lamalitha amathathu ebhali ngodenariyu.’—ISambulo 6:5, 6.

 Iziphrofetho lezi eziseBhayibhilini ezimayelana lendlala zigcwaliseka khathesi futhi iBhayibhili lithi lezi ‘zinsuku zokucina.’ (2 Thimothi 3:1) Nxa ufuna ukuzwa okunengi ngensuku zokucina kanye labagadi bamabhiza abane okukhulunywa ngabo kuSambulo, bukela ividiyo ethi, Izinto Zitshintshe Kakhulu Emhlabeni Kusukela Ngo-1914 njalo ubale lesihloko esithi, “Ngobani Abagade Amabhiza Amane?”

•   IBhayibhili lisinika amacebo angasinceda simelane lezimo ezinzima, ezihlanganisa ukuswelakala kanye lokudula kokudla. Ungathola amanye amacebo esihlokweni esithi “Ungenzani Ukuze Wenelise Ukuphila Ngemali Encane?”

•   IBhayibhili liphinda lisinike ithemba lokuthi izinto zizakuba ngcono. Lisithembisa ukuthi “kuzakuba lenala yokudla emhlabeni” lokuthi umuntu ngamunye uzathola ukudla okweneleyo. (IHubo 72:16) Nxa ufuna ukuzwa okunengi ngezithembiso eziseBhayibhilini lokuthi kungani ungakukholwa elikutshoyo, bala isihloko esithi “Ithemba Elimayelana Lekusasa Elingcono.”
