Ukuzinikela: Ngaba uyalwazi usapho lokomoya lukaElijah oyiNgcwele?
Kwindawo ehlekisayo kunye nemibongo yaseGalili, kwindawo encinci ephezulu kuLwandle lweMeditera, iNtaba yeKarmele iyenyuka, indawo yokubalekela abangcwele abaninzi abathe, kwiTestamente eNdala, bathatha umhlala-phantsi kuloo ndawo iyodwa bethandazela ukuza koMsindisi oNgcwele. Kodwa akukho namnye kubo, nangona kunjalo, owagubungela loo matye asikelelweyo ngobuhle obuninzi njengo-St Elias.
Xa lo mprofeti wayenenzondelelo enkulu wemka apho, malunga nenkulungwane yesithoba phambi kokuzalwa kukaNyana kaThixo, yaba yiminyaka emithathu imbalela engapheliyo ivala amazulu ePalestine, yohlwaya ukungathembeki kwamaJuda kuThixo. ecela ukuba isohlwayo sikhululwe ngenxa yaloo Mhlanguli ebekufanele ukuba ufikile, uEliya wathumela umkhonzi encotsheni yentaba, emyalela: "Yiya ujonge kwicala lolwandle." Kodwa umkhonzi akazange abone nto. Kwaye, ehla, wathi: "Akukho nto." Ukuzithemba, umprofeti wamenza wenyuka engaphumeleli amaxesha asixhenxe. Ekugqibeleni wabuya umkhonzi, esithi, "Yabona, ilifu elinjengesandla somntu liphuma elwandle." Ngapha koko, ilifu lalincinci kwaye lalinophahla olubonakala ngathi limiselwe ukuba linyamalale ekuphefumlweni komoya wokuqala wasentlango. Kodwa kancinci kancinci ikhula, isasazeka esibhakabhakeni ukugubungela yonke indawo kwaye yawela emhlabeni ngohlobo lwamanzi amaninzi. (1 Kumkani 18, 4344). Yayilusindiso lwabantu bakaThixo.
Ilifu elincinci yayingumfanekiso kaMariya othobekileyo, okulunga kwakhe nokulunga kwakhe kungagqitha elo loluntu lonke, kutsala ukuxolelwa nokukhululwa kwaboni. Umprofeti uEliya wabona ekucingeni kwakhe indima yomlamli kaMama kaMesiya olindelweyo. Wayengumntu wokuqala ukuzinikela kuye.
Isithethe esihle sisixelela ukuba, silandela umzekelo ka-Elias oyiNgcwele, kwakusoloko kukho abemi abahlala eNtabeni yeKarmele ababehlala bethandaza phaya phezulu, befumana kwakhona kwaye bethumela kwabanye umoya weHeliatic. Kwaye loo ndawo ingcwaliswe ngamadoda akhangeleyo yatsala ezinye iingcinga. Ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane yesine, xa iimonki zokuqala ezizimeleyo zaseMpuma zaqala ukubonakala, amathambeka amatye eNtaba iKarmele amkela indlu yenkonzo, ngendlela yoluntu lwaseByzantium, umkhondo wazo osabonakala nanamhlanje. Emva kwexesha, ukuya kwinkulungwane ye-XNUMX, iqela lemisebenzi emitsha, ngeli xesha ivela eNtshona kunye neeMfazwe zomnqamlezo, yongeza inzondelelo entsha kumbutho wamandulo. Icawe encinci yakhiwa kwangoko apho uluntu luzinikele khona ebomini bomthandazo, luhlala luphiliswa ngumoya kaEliya. "Ilifu" elincinci lakhula ngakumbi nangakumbi.
Ukukhula kwenani labazalwana bakaMama wethu weNtaba yeKarmele kufuna umbutho ogqibeleleyo. Ngo-1225 igqiza le-Order laya eRoma ukuya kucela i-Holy See ukuba ivume i-Rule, enikwe ngu-Pope Onofrio III ngo-1226.
Ngokuhlasela kweendawo ezingcwele ngamaSilamsi, umphathi weNtaba iKarmele wanika imvume inkolo eseNtshona apho bahamba khona baseka uluntu olutsha, into eninzi eyenziweyo emva kokuwa kwesiseko sokugqibela senkcaso yobuKristu, eFort San Giovanni d Acre. Abambalwa abaseleyo apho babulawelwa ukholo ngelixa babecula i- "Salve Regina".
