C\u00e9ad L\u00e9acht (Dain\u00e9il 12:1-3). San amsir sin saor\u00f3far do mhuintir. T\u00e1 dh\u00e1 mh\u00f3r-roinn i Leabhar Dhain\u00e9il. I gcaibidil 1-6 t\u00e1 sc\u00e9alta, sc\u00e9alta c\u00fairte faoi Dhain\u00e9il agus a thri\u00far comp\u00e1nach i gc\u00fairt r\u00edthe na Baibeal\u00f3ine i rith na deora\u00edochta, ag taispe\u00e1int faoi mar ar chosain Dia iad in amanta an gh\u00e1tair. Sa dara roinn i gcaibidil 7-12 t\u00e1 f\u00edseanna a tugadh do Dhain\u00e9il faoi cad i bh\u00ed i nd\u00e1n do impireachtai domhanda sa r\u00e9 le teacht. Tagann siad seo go l\u00e9ir chun buaice le g\u00e9arlean\u00faint an R\u00ed Ghr\u00e9igigh Aint\u00edochas Eipifeanaes (\u201cdia d\u00e9anta follasach\u201d), a thruailli\u00fa ar Theampall na nGi\u00fadach agus an iarrracht a rinne s\u00e9 creideamh na nGi\u00fadach a dh\u00edoth\u00fa ar fad. Is \u00ed aidhm na tsaothair n\u00e1 a gcreideamh si\u00fad a bh\u00ed faoi gh\u00e9arlean\u00faint a neart\u00fa agus an teachtaireacht a thabhairt d\u00f3ibh go rabhthas leis an g\u00e9arlean\u00fainteoir le milleadh gan aon gh\u00e1 le dul i mbun chomhrac airm chuige sin. Is f\u00e9idir d\u00e1ta cu\u00edosach beacht a chur leis an Leabhar, idir 167 agus 164 roimh Chr\u00edost, agus is d\u00f3cha\u00ed sa bhlain 164, agus roimh bh\u00e1s Aint\u00edochas sa bhliain 163. Su\u00edonn na f\u00edseanna an Leabhar sa se\u00e1nra litr\u00edochta ar a dtugtar apacailipteach, ina dh\u00e9antar r\u00e9amhinsint ar eachtra\u00ed diaga den r\u00e9 le teacht, r\u00e9amhinsint\u00ed n\u00e1r f\u00edora\u00edodh go minic. N\u00ed d\u00f3cha gur chuir sin as do scribhneor\u00ed na litr\u00edochta seo, de bhr\u00ed, is d\u00f3cha, gur bhraith f\u00edor\u00fa na r\u00e9amhinsint\u00ed sin ar Dhia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baineann l\u00e9acht an lae inniu le r\u00e9amhinsint amh\u00e1in d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id maidir le deireadh ama agus deireadh an tsaoil, ina mbeidh aimsir bhuartha thar an gn\u00e1th, agus tr\u00e1th ina mbeidh ais\u00e9ir\u00ed na colainne ann do na f\u00edr\u00e9in. Seo \u00ed an ch\u00e9ad uair ina bhfuil admhail chreidimh in aiseir\u00ed na colainne sa Bh\u00edobla. (T\u00e1 s\u00ed ar f\u00e1il pas beag n\u00edos luaithe i dt\u00e9acs apacailipteach i Leabhar Hen\u00f3c.) B\u00edodh go raibh aireacht\u00e1il gh\u00e9ar i luath-Iosrael go raibh Dia i l\u00e1thair lena phobal sa Teampall agus go raibh a ch\u00faram air, agus mar aon leis sin gurbh \u00e9 mian de mhianta a phobail bheith aontaithe le Dia ina mbeatha abhus, s\u00edos tr\u00edd na haoiseanna n\u00edorb ch\u00faram d\u00f3ibh aon aontacht a bheith acu le Dia tar \u00e9is a mb\u00e1is. Mheasadar, mar a mheas na cin\u00edocha Seim\u00edteacha m\u00e1guaird, gur fhan rud \u00e9igin den duine aonair tar \u00e9is bh\u00e1is, ach amh\u00e1in mar sc\u00e1il de f\u00e9in i S\u00e9\u00f3l, ina raibh olc agus maith le ch\u00e9ile, gan c\u00faiteamh n\u00f3 pion\u00f3s; bh\u00ed sc\u00e1ileanna r\u00f3-lag d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id. T\u00e1 c\u00fapla t\u00e9acs i leabhair an Bh\u00edobla ina bhfuil, b\u2019fh\u00e9idir, tagairt do aontacht le Dia iar-bh\u00e1s, ach nach bhfuil sin soil\u00e9ir, ach cinn eile ina bhfuil amhras. C\u00fapla c\u00e9ad bliain roimh Leabhar Dhain\u00e9il rinne \u00fadar an leabhair Ecclesiastes (C\u00f3heilit) machnamh ar bh\u00e1s an duine agus b\u00e1s an ainmh\u00ed, agus is beag an difr\u00edocht a fheiceann s\u00e9 idir eatorthu. Seo mar a scr\u00edobhann s\u00e9 (Coheilit 3:19-20): \u201cArsa mise liom f\u00e9in ar\u00eds: \u2018Maidir leis an gcine daonna, t\u00e1 Dia tar \u00e9is iad thast\u00e1il go cinnte agus a thaispe\u00e1int nach bhfuil iontu uathu f\u00e9in ach ainmh\u00edthe\u2019. \u00d3ir t\u00e1 an chinni\u00faint ch\u00e9anna ag an duine agus at\u00e1 ag an ainmh\u00ed; mar a fhaigheann ceann acu b\u00e1s, sin mar a fhaigheann an ceann eile b\u00e1s chomh maith; \u00f3ir ta an t-aon spiorad amh\u00e1in iontu go l\u00e9ir agus n\u00edl aon bhunt\u00e1iste ag an duine ar an ainmh\u00ed. Baois is ea gach uile n\u00ed. T\u00e9ann siad go l\u00e9ir go dt\u00ed an \u00e1it ch\u00e9anna; is den luaithreach iad uile agus iomp\u00f3idh siad uile ina luaithreach ar\u00eds. C\u00e9 ar eol d\u00f3 an dt\u00e9ann spiorad an duine suas n\u00f3 an dt\u00e9ann spiorad an ainmh\u00ed s\u00edos sa talamh?\u201d. Mheasfadh duine \u00f3 r\u00e1iteas deiridh an t\u00e9acs sin go raibh amhras \u00e9igin ar an \u00fadar faoina raibh r\u00e1ite aige, agus b\u2019fh\u00e9idir go raibh difr\u00edocht idir dheiridh an duine agus an ainmh\u00ed, agus faoi cad a bh\u00ed i nd\u00e1n d\u00e1 spioraid faoi seach. Ach n\u00edor imigh as radharc an cheist faoi aontacht an chreidmhigh le Dia iar-bh\u00e1s, n\u00f3 an cheist ar chr\u00edochnaigh an aontacht sin leis an mb\u00e1s. D\u2019\u00e9irigh s\u00e9 n\u00edos g\u00e9ire le b\u00e1s uaf\u00e1sach an ilomad mairt\u00edreach i gh\u00e9arlean\u00faint Aint\u00edochas sna blianta 167-164 roimh Chr\u00edost. As sin d\u2019\u00e9irigh mar bhuaic i Leabhar Dain\u00e9il (i l\u00e9acht an lae inniu) admh\u00e1il chreidimh in ais\u00e9ir\u00ed na colainne, agus beatha shona iarbh\u00e1is le D\u00eda d\u00e1 shearbh\u00f3nta\u00ed d\u00edlse. Braithstint n\u00f3 m\u00edan chr\u00e1ifeach, b\u2019fh\u00e9idir, a bh\u00ed in ais\u00e9ir\u00ed na colainne d\u2019\u00fadar Leabhar Hen\u00f3c. D\u2019\u00fadar Leabhar Dhain\u00e9il agus do chreideamh na nGi\u00fadach, foilsi\u00fa \u00f3 Dhia a bh\u00ed ann agus glacadh leis mar bhun-phointe do chreideamh na nGi\u00fadach, go m\u00f3r m\u00f3r i measc na bhFairis\u00edneach, m\u00edr chreidimh a sh\u00e9an na Sad\u00facaigh. Ghlac \u00cdosa leis in \u00e9adan na Sad\u00facach (Marcas 12:18-27; Matha 22:23-33; L\u00fac\u00e1s 20:27-40), agus d\u2019\u00e9irigh s\u00e9 n\u00edos l\u00e1rna\u00ed f\u00f3s le hais\u00e9ir\u00ed \u00cdosa, \u201cc\u00e9adtoradh na muintire at\u00e1 ina gcodladh\u201d (1 Corantaigh 15:20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00faradh le h\u00cdosa, mar a raibh r\u00e9amhchomhartha de, i Salm 109 (110): \u201cB\u00ed i do shu\u00ed ar mo dheis go gcuirfidh m\u00e9 do naimhde mar st\u00f3l faoi do chosa\u201d. Mar shagart t\u00e1 s\u00e9 ina shu\u00ed ar dheasl\u00e1mh D\u00e9 ag feitheamh le comhl\u00edonadh na f\u00e1istine sin.

I dt\u00e9acs an Bh\u00edobla san \u00e1it seo cuirtear isteach f\u00e1istine Irimia faoin gConradh Nua (f\u00e1gtha ar l\u00e1r sa leicsean\u00e1ir), ar a bhful mar chr\u00edoch leis: \u201cN\u00ed chuimhneoidh m\u00e9 ar a bpeaca\u00ed n\u00e1 ar a gcionta feasta\u201d, ar a leanann briathra deiridh l\u00e9acht an lae inniu: \u201cNuair a bh\u00edonn peaca\u00ed maite, n\u00ed g\u00e1 ofr\u00e1il a dh\u00e9anamh mar \u00e9iric iontu n\u00edos m\u00f3\u201d.

An Soisc\u00e9al (Marcas 13:24-32). Baileoidh s\u00e9 na tofaigh \u00f3 na ceithre ghaoth. Tuigfear an l\u00e9acht seo n\u00edos fearr m\u00e1 su\u00edtear \u00ed taobh istigh de aitheasc fada \u00cdosa, gur cuid de \u00ed. Bh\u00ed \u00cdosa agus na deisceabail sa Teampall, agus ag dul amach as an Teampall d\u00f3 d\u00fairt duine d\u00e1 dheisceabail leis: \u201cF\u00e9ach, a Mh\u00e1istir, cad iad mar chlocha agus cad iad mar fhoirgnimh iad seo!\u201d D\u2019fhreagair \u00cdosa nach bhf\u00e1gfa\u00ed cloch i mbun cloiche nach leagf\u00e1i anuas de na foirgnimh mh\u00f3ra sin. Ina dhiaidh sin, ina shu\u00ed d\u2019\u00cdosa ar Chnoc na nOl\u00f3g ar aghaidh an Teampaill (su\u00edomh oiri\u00fanach do fhoilsi\u00fa faoi chr\u00edoch ama) iarrann ceathrar de dheisceabail thosaigh \u00cdosa air insint doibh cathain a thithfeadh an m\u00e9id sin amach (treascairt an Teampaill) agus c\u00e9n comhartha a bheadh ann \u201car na nithe sin uile a bheith ag teacht chun cinn\u201d. Freagra\u00edonn \u00cdosa faoi na comhartha\u00ed a bheadh ann roimh threascairt an Teampaill (agus na cathrach) agus t\u00e9ann ar aghaidh chun labhairt ar an mbreithi\u00fanas deiridh, leis f\u00e9in, mar Mhac an Duine, mar bhreitheamh. Comhl\u00edonadh a bhriathra faoi threascairt an Teampaill (a labhair \u00cdosa sa bhliain 30 n\u00f3 33) ag arm na R\u00f3imhe sa bhliain 70, i saol na gl\u00faine lena raibh s\u00e9 ag caint.
