I-Angelology: Ingelosi enkulu uMikayeli uhamba nemiphefumlo ezulwini
Iingelosi zityelela bonke abantu xa besifa, amakholwa athi. Inkokeli yazo zonke iingelosi - iNgelosi eyintloko uMikayeli- ibonakala ngaphambi kwexesha lokufa kwabo bangekadibani noThixo, ibanika ithuba lokugqibela lokusindiswa ngaphambi kokuba ixesha labo lokuthatha isigqibo liphele. Iingelosi ezingama-Guardian zinoxanduva lokukhathalela umphefumlo womntu ngamnye kubo bonke ubomi zibakhuthaza ukuba bathembele kuThixo ngokunjalo.Ngoko ke, uMichael kunye neengelosi ezikhuselayo basebenza kunye ukukhapha imiphefumlo yabo basindiswa ezulwini kanye emva kokufa kwabo. .
UMichael ubeka ithuba lokugqibela kusindiso
Kungekudala ngaphambi kokuba kusweleke umntu onomphefumlo wakhe ungasindiswanga, uMichael utyelela ukuze abanike ithuba lokubeka ukholo lwabo kuThixo ukuze baye ezulwini, amakholwa athi.
Kwincwadi yakhe, Ukunxibelelana neNgelosi eyintloko uMichael yoQeqesho kunye noKhuseleko, uRichard Webster ubhala athi:
"Xa umntu esifa, uMichael ubonakala kwaye unika umphefumlo ngamnye ithuba lokuzikhulula, ukuphazamisa uSathana kunye nabancedisi ngenxa yoko."
UMichael ngumntu ohamba ngokulandela abantu abafayo kwicawa yamaKatolika ngenxa yendima yakhe ekhuthaza abaswelekileyo ukuba bathembele kuThixo.
Kwincwadi yakhe ethi The Life and Prayers of Saint Michael the Arangelol, uWyatt North ubhala:
“Siyazi ukuba nguSt. Michael ohamba nabathembekileyo kwiyure yabo yokugqibela nangomhla wabo womgwebo, besithethelela phambi kukaKristu. Ngokwenza njalo, ulinganisa izinto ezilungileyo zobomi bethu xa zithelekiswa nezimbi, eziqulathwe zizikali [kumsebenzi wobugcisa obonisa uMikayeli esilinganisela imiphefumlo]. "
INyakatho ikhuthaza abafundi ukuba bazilungiselele ukudibana noMichael nangaliphi na ixesha labo lokufa liza:
Ukuzinikela yonke imihla kuMichael kobu bomi kuya kuqinisekisa ukuba ulinde ukufumana umphefumlo wakho ngelixa lokufa kwakho kwaye akukhokelele kubukumkani obungunaphakade. […] Xa sisifa, imiphefumlo yethu ivulekile ukuba ihlaselwe ngomzuzu wokugqibela ziidemon zikaSathana, ukanti ngokumema uSt. Michael, ukhuseleko luqinisekisiwe ngekhaka lakhe. Ukufika esihlalweni somgwebo kaKristu, uSt. […] Thembela usapho kunye nabahlobo bakho kwaye nibongoze inkxaso yakhe yonke imihla kubo bonke abo nibathandayo, nithandaza ngaphezu kwabo bonke ngokuzikhusela ekupheleni kobomi benu. Ukuba sinqwenela ngokwenyani ukukhokelwa buBukumkani obungunaPhakade ukuze sihlale kubukho bukaThixo, kufuneka sicele isikhokelo kunye nokukhuselwa kukaSt. Michael ubomi bethu bonke. "
Iingelosi ezigada zinxibelelana nabantu abakhathalayo
Ingelosi nganye yomntu oswelekileyo (okanye iingelosi, ukuba uThixo unike umntu ongaphezulu kwesinye umntu lowo) unxibelelana naloo mntu njengoko edlulela kubomi basemva kokufa, amakholwa athi.
Kwincwadi yakhe yeHlabathi engabonakaliyo: ukuqonda iingelosi, iidemon kunye nezinto zokomoya ezikujikelezileyo, u-Anthony Destefano ubhala:
“[Awuyi kuba] wedwa xa usifa- kuba iNgelosi yakho enguMgcini iyakubakhona nawe. […] Eyona njongo yemishini yakhe [yeNgelosi yakho eGciniweyo] yayikukunceda ngamahla ndinyuka obomi nokukunceda ukuba uye ezulwini. Ngaba iyavakala into yokuba angakushiya ekugqibeleni? Akunjalongo noko. Iya kuba lapho nawe. Nokuba ungumoya ococekileyo, ngendlela ethile engaqondakaliyo uya kuba nakho ukumbona, umazi, unxibelelane naye kwaye uqaphele indima ayidlalileyo ebomini bakho. "
Esona sihloko sibalulekileyo sokugcina iingelosi kufuneka sixoxe nabantu abaseza kufa kukusindiswa kwabo. UDefefano ubhala athi:
“Ngexesha lokufa, xa imiphefumlo yethu ishiya imizimba yethu, konke okuya kushiyeka lukhetho esilwenzileyo. Kwaye olo khetho luya kuba lolukaThixo, okanye oluchasene naye. Iya kumiswa ngonaphakade.
Iingelosi ezingumlindi "zithandaza nabantu nabantu kwaye zenza imithandazo kunye nemisebenzi emihle kuThixo" kubo bonke ubomi babantu, kubandakanywa nasekupheleni, ubhala uRosemary Ellen Guiley kwincwadi yakhe ethi The Encyclopedia of Angels.
Njengokuba uMichael ethetha ngumoya-moya nomntu ngamnye ongasindiswanga oswelekileyo-ebakhuthaza ukuba bakholelwe kuThixo kwaye bathembele kuThixo ngosindiso- ingelosi elondolozayo eyayikhathalele loo mntu ixhasa iinzame zikaMichael. . Abantu abafayo, abanomphefumlo wabo sele usindisiwe, abadingi mzuzu wokugqibela kaMichael ukubongoza ukuba banxibelelane noThixo.Kodwa bafuna ukhuthazo lokuba akukho nto bayoyika njengoko beshiya uMhlaba besiya ezulwini, Iingelosi zabo ezigcinayo zihlala zidlulisela loo myalezo kubo, amakholwa athi.
Ukusukela oko uAdam, umntu wokuqala wasweleka, uThixo wabela ingelosi yakhe ephezulu - uMikayeli - ukuba ahambise imiphefumlo yabantu ezulwini, batsho amakholwa.
Ubomi buka-Adam no-Eva, isicatshulwa senkolo esigqalwa njengesingcwele kodwa singekho semthethweni kubuYuda nakubuKristu, sichaza indlela uThixo athi ngayo kuMichael indima yokuthatha umphefumlo ka-Adam awuse ezulwini. Emva kokufa kuka-Adam, umfazi wakhe esaphila, uEva, kunye neengelosi ezulwini bathandazela ukuba uThixo awenzele inceba umphefumlo ka-Adam. Iingelosi zicenga uThixo kunye, zisithi kwisahluko 33, "Ngcwele, ndiyaxolela kuba ngumfanekiso wakho kunye nomsebenzi wezandla zakho ezingcwele."
UThixo ke uvumela umphefumlo ka-Adam ukuba ungene ezulwini kwaye uMikayeli wadibana naye apho. Isahluko 37 iivesi 4 ukuya ku-6 zithi:
"Ubawo wabo bonke, ehleli etroneni yakhe engcwele wasolula isandla sakhe, wathabatha uAdam wamnikela kwisiphatha-zingelosi uMikayeli, esithi," Mphakamiseleni ezulwini kwelesithathu izulu, nimshiye apho kude kube yimini eyoyikekayo. , endiza kuyenza emhlabeni. 'Emva koko uMichael wathatha u-Adam wamshiya apho uThixo wayemxelele khona ".
Indima kaMichael ehamba nemiphefumlo yabantu eya ezulwini iphembelele ingoma edumileyo "uMichael, Row the Boat ashore". Njengomntu okhokela imiphefumlo yabantu, uMichael waziwa njenge psychopomp (igama lesiGrike elithetha "isikhokelo semiphefumlo") kwaye ingoma leyo ibhekisa kwiintsomi zamandulo zamaGrike malunga ne-psychopomp ethwele imiphefumlo iwela umlambo owahlula umhlaba phila kwelabafileyo.
U-Evelyn Dorothy Oliver noJames R. Lewis kwincwadi yabo, iingelosi ukusuka ku-A ukuya ku-Z, babhala:
“Esinye sezona zinto zazisaziwa ngabantu bakudala yayinguCharon, umkhweli weentsomi zamaGrike owayenoxanduva lokuhambisa imimoya yabafileyo iwele uMlambo iStyx ize iye kummandla wabafileyo. Kwilizwe lobuKristu, kwakungokwemvelo ukuba iingelosi zize kwenza umsebenzi wee-psychopumps, umsebenzi uMikayeli unxulunyaniswa ngokukodwa nawo. Ingoma endala yevangeli "uMichael, Row the Boat Ashore" yinto ethetha ngomsebenzi wakhe njenge psychopomp. Njengoko imifanekiso yokubheqa ibonisa, iNgelosi enkulu uMichael imelwe njengohlobo lweChristian Charon, ethwele imiphefumlo emhlabeni isiya ezulwini. "
Iingelosi ezigada zinceda zikhuphe imiphefumlo ezulwini
Iingelosi ze-Guardian zihamba noMichael (onokuba kwiindawo ezininzi ngaxeshanye) kunye nemiphefumlo yabantu abafileyo njengoko behamba ngemilinganiselo ukufikelela emnyango wezulu, amakholwa athi. UGuiley ubhala oku kwi-Encyclopedia of Angels: “Bayayifumana kwaye bayayikhusela imiphefumlo ngexesha lokufa. "Ingelosi engumgcini imkhokelela emva kokufa ...".
I-Quran, eyona ndima ingcwele yamaSilamsi, iqulethe ivesi echaza umsebenzi weengelosi ezigcina imiphefumlo yabantu kubomi basemva kokufa: "[UThixo] uthumela abagcini ukuba bakujonge naxa ukufa kukufikela, abathunywa bayawususa umphefumlo wakho "(ivesi 6:61).
Nje ukuba uMichael kunye neengelosi ezigcinayo bafika kunye nemiphefumlo emnyango wezulu, iingelosi ezikwinqanaba le-Dominions zamkela imiphefumlo ezulwini. Iingelosi zommandla weli "zizinto esinokuzibiza ngokuba" ngabaxeleli bemiphefumlo ezayo, "kubhala uSylvia Browne kwincwadi yeeNgelosi zikaSylvia Browne. "Bemi ekupheleni kwetonela kwaye benza umnyango owamkelekileyo wale miphefumlo idlulayo."
