Indima ebalulekile yezingelosi ngesikhathi sokufa nasekufeni
Izingelosi, ezisize amadoda ngesikhathi zisaphila emhlabeni, zisenomsebenzi obalulekile okufanele ziwenze ngesikhathi sokufa kwazo. Kuyathakazelisa kakhulu ukubona ukuthi iSiko leBhayibheli kanye nenkolelo yefilosofi yamaGrikhi kuvumelana kanjani ekusebenzeni kweMimoya "yengqondo", okungukuthi, yeZingelosi ezinomsebenzi wokuhamba nomphefumulo ziye ekugcineni. Orabi abangamaJuda bafundisa ukuthi yilabo kuphela imiphefumulo yabo ethwalwa yizingelosi abangalethwa ezulwini. Emfanekisweni odumile kaLazaru ompofu kanye noDives abacebile, nguJesu uqobo othi lo msebenzi wenziwa yizingelosi. "Isinxibi safa sathwalwa yizingelosi sayiswa esifubeni sika-Abrahama" (uLk 16,22). Ekufundweni kwe-Judao-Christian apocalyptic of the early century sikhuluma ngezingelosi ezintathu "ze-psycopomnes", - ezimboza umzimba ka-Adam (okungowomuntu) "ngamalineni ayigugu bese zigcoba ngamafutha anamakha, bese zikubeka emhumeni onamadwala, ngaphakathi komgodi ombiwe wakhelwa yena. Uzohlala lapho kuze kube sekuvukeni kokugcina ”. Ngemuva kwalokho u-Abbatan, iNgelosi yokufa, uzovela aqale amadoda kuloluhambo oluya ekwahlulelweni; emaqenjini ehlukene ngokobuhle bawo, njalo aqondiswa iziNgelosi.
Kuvame kakhulu phakathi kwababhali bokuqala abangamaKristu naphakathi koFata beSonto, isithombe seZingelosi ezisiza umphefumulo ngesikhathi sokufa futhi ziwuhambise uye ezulwini. Inkomba endala futhi ecace bha yalomsebenzi wezingelosi itholakala encwadini ye-Acts of the Passion of Saint Perpetua and companion, eyabhalwa ngo-203, lapho uSatyr etshela ngombono ayenawo ejele: "Sasiyishiyile inyama yethu lapho sekune Basithinta, basiyisa lapho babheka khona iMpumalanga. Asizange silayishwe endaweni ejwayelekile, kodwa sizwe sengathi sikhuphuka emthambekeni omnene ”. UTertullian ku "De Anima" uyabhala: "Lapho, ngenxa yokufa, umphefumulo ukhishwa esiswini senyama yawo futhi ugxume uphume eveyili lomzimba uye ekukhanyeni okumsulwa, okulula nokuthulile, uyajabula futhi uyabona lapho ubona ubuso bengelosi yakhe, elungiselela ukumuphelezela baye kwakhe ". USt.John Chrysostom, nobufakazi bakhe besaga, ephawula ngomfanekiso kaLazaru ompofu, uthi: "Uma sidinga umqondisi, lapho sidlula komunye umuzi siya komunye, kakhulu kangakanani umphefumulo ophula izibopho zenyama futhi udlule empilweni ezayo, uzodinga umuntu ozomkhombisa indlela ”.
Ekuthandazeleni abafileyo kuyisiko ukucela usizo lweNgelosi. Ku "Life of Macrina", uGregory Nyssen ubeka lo mkhuleko omangalisayo ezindebeni zikadadewabo ofayo: 'Ngithumele iNgelosi yokukhanya ukuba ingiqondise endaweni yokuqabuleka, lapho kutholakala khona amanzi okuphumula, esifubeni sezinzalamizi '.
UMthetho-sisekelo Wabaphostoli unaleminye imithandazo eyenzelwe abafileyo: “Phendulela amehlo encekwini yakho. Mxolele uma onile wenze iziNgelosi zimnikele ”. Emlandweni wemiphakathi yezenkolo eyasungulwa nguSanta Pachomius sifunda ukuthi, lapho kufa umuntu olungile futhi ongcwele, izingelosi ezine zilethwa kuye, khona-ke udwendwe luphuma ngomphefumulo emoyeni, lubheke ngaseMpumalanga, izingelosi ezimbili zithwala , eshidini, umphefumulo kamufi, kanti iNgelosi yesithathu icula amaculo ngolimi olungaziwa. USanta Gregory Omkhulu uyaphawula ezingxoxweni zakhe: 'Kuyadingeka ukwazi ukuthi iMimoya ebusisiwe icula kamnandi izindumiso zikaNkulunkulu, lapho imiphefumulo yabakhethiweyo isuka kulo mhlaba ukuze, ibambe ukuqonda lokhu kuvumelana kwasezulwini, abazizwa behlukaniswa nemizimba yabo
