Watter Christene sal weggeraap word, and wie bly agter?


Is jy gered? Het jy die Heilige Gees ontvang? Is jy verseel deur die Heilige Gees? Is jy 'n waarlik WEDERGEBORE Christen? Is jy 'n kind van GOD? Behoort jy aan GOD?

Ja?......dan sal jy weggeraap word.

Luister wat Raymond Lombard te se gehad het tov die volgende;



Is jy gered?
Woon die Heilige Gees in jou?
Is jy 'n kind van God?
Behoort jy aan God?
Is jy waaragtig wedergebore?

As jy die Heilige Gees in jou het, dan behoort jy aan God! Sal sal dan weggeraap word an die hemel, nieteenstaande jou vlak van heiligheid!

Sal jy skade lei?
Waar sal jy skade lei?
Watter skade sal jy lei?

As jy weggeraap is, gaan jy na die hemel, en in die hemel sal jy skade lei!

Het die skepping 'n hirargie?
Het Engele 'n hirargie?
Het die bose magte 'n hirargie?
Het die mensdom 'n hirargie?
Het die Koninkryk van God 'n hirargie?

Jy sal skade lei in die hemel, in die koninkryk van God!

Is jy in Christus?

As jy in Christus is, sal jy na die hemel weggeraap word, nie teenstaande jou vlak van heiligheid!

Kan jy afvallig word?
Kan jy jou saligheid verloor?
Is jy waaragtig wedergebore?
Het jy die Heilige Gees as deposito in jou hart?
Is jy verseel deur die Heilige Gees?

As jy waaragtig wedergebore is en verseel is deur die Heilige Gees, dan is jy 'n kind van God en jy sal weggeraap word na die hemel, nie teenstaande jou vlak van heiligheid!

Wat gebeur na die wegraping?
Kan mense tot redding kom na die wegraping?
Wie is die Bok nasies?
Wie is die Skaap nasies?
Wie is deel van die na-oes?
Is die 666 figuurlik of fisies?
Sal mense tot redding kom gedurende die 1000 jaar Vrederyk?
Wat is die doel van die 1000 jaar Vrederyk?
Wie is die Martelare?

Miljoene mense sal na die wegraping Jesus aanneem, maar meeste van hulle sal sterf vir hul geloof (besluit om nie die teken van die dier - die 666 aan te neem). Hierdie mense is die Martelare!

Is daar 'n "tweede kans" na die wegraping om Jesus aan te neem?
Hoeveel kanse het 'n mens?
Tot wanneer sal jy 'n kans kry?

Daar is so iets soos 'n tweede kans nie. man en vrou nl. alle mense, is bestem om eem maal te sterwe. Elke persoon het dus een kans, enige tyd tot sy dood!!!! (kan na die wegraping, gedurende die wegraping en selfs ook gedurende die 1000 jaar Vrederyk wees).

Wat beteken anitchris?
Wat is die gees van die antichris?
Wie is die persoon; die Antichris?
Hoe sal jy 'n antichris gees uitken?
Wat gebeur as jy Jesus aanneem?
Sal jy vervolg word as gevolg van die naam van Jesus?
Kan jy gered word, anders as deur die naam van Jesus?

Daar is geen ander wyse om gered te word, dan deur die naam van Jesus! En enige aksie of geloof teen die dood en opstanding van Jesus, en redding deur Jesus, is 'n antichris gees wat uiteindelik sal vergestald in die persoon; die Antichris.

Waar is die domein van Satan?
Waar woon Satan vandag?
Kan Satan vandag Christine vervolg?
Wat is Satan se toekoms?

Satan is oppad na die Hel!!!!

Wie was Lucifer (Satan)?
Hoekom was Lucifer verban uit die Hemel?
Wat was Lucifer se rol in die val van Adam en Eva?
Wanner het die val van Lucifer gebeur?
Hoeveel Engele het Lucifer gevolg?
Hoe magtig is Lucifer?
Hoe moet jy Lucifer aanspreek?
Wie was die seuns van God?
Kan Satan nog in die Hemel voorkom?
Kan Satan jou vandag vir jou sondes aankla?
Hoe gereeld moet jy jou sondes belei?
Wanneer sal Satan sy reg om aan te kla verloor?

Satan moet nooit onderskat word nie. Hy is magtig!!!

Wanneer jy sterf, hoe sal jy veroordeel word?
Gaan jy hemel toe of hel toe?
Wanneer gebeur jou oordeel?
Wat gebeur met jou gees en jou liggaam?
Wanneer ontvang jy jou verheerlikde liggaam?
Watter liggaam gaan jy in die hemel ontvang?
Wat is die verskil tussen tydelike ne verheerlikde liggame?
Sal jy (en kinders) gelyk in liggaam en ouderdom van Jesus wees?
Wat gebeur met 'n ongeredde na sy dood?
Sal ongereddes 'n verheerlikde liggaam ontvang?
Wat gebeur met 'n ongeredde se gees en liggaam?

Heb 9:27 En net soos die mense bestem is om een maal te sterwe en daarna die oordeel,

What Christians will be raptured, and who will be left behind?

Are you saved? Does the Holy Spirit dwell in you? Are you sealed by the Holy Spirit? Are you a truley REBORNE Christian? Are you a Child of GOD? Do you belong to God?

Yes?......then you will be raptured.


Listen to what Raymond Lombard has to say in in regard to the following (refer summary of the answers hereunder)



UNFORTUANATELY; Voice is in Afrikaans, script in English

Are you saved?
Does the Holy Spirit dwell in you?
Are you a child of God?
Do you belong to God?
Are you truly reborne?

If you have in you the Holy Spirit, then you belong to God!. You will be raptured and go to heaven, notwithstanding your level of devotion!

Will you suffer loss?
Where will you suffer loss?
What loss may you suffer?

If you are raptured, you will go to heaven, and in heaven you will suffer loss!

Does creation have a hierarchy?
Does Angles have a hierarchy?
Does Evil Spiritual Forces have a hierarchy?
Does Eartly Nations have a hierarchy?
Does the Kingdom of God have a hierarchy?

You will suffer loss in heaven, in the Kingdom of God!!!

Are you in Christ?

If you are in Christ, you will be raptured and go to heaven, notwithstanding your level of devotion!

Can you forsake, abandon your believe?
Can you fall out of grace?
Are you truly reborn?
Do you have the Holy Spirit as deposit in your heart?
Are you sealed by the Holy Spirit?

If you are truly reborne and is sealed by the Holy Spirit, then you are a child of God, and you will be raptured and go to heaven, notwithstanding your level of holiness!

What happens after the rapture?
Will people be saved after the rapture?
Who are the goat nations?
Who are the sheep nations?
Who will be part of the gleanings? ( collections bit by bit)
Is the 666 figuratively or physical?
Will people be saved during the 1000 years of Peace?
What is the purpose of the 1000 years of Peace?
Who are the Martyrs?

Millions of people will accept Jesus after the rapture, but most will have to die for their faith (decide not to accept the mark of beast - the 666) These people will be Martyrs.

Is there a "second chance" after the rapture to accept Jesus?
How many chances do you have?
Till when will you have your chance?

There is not really such a thing as a second chance. Man and woman i.e. all people, are destined to die once. Every person thus has one chance, any time before your death!!! (could be after the rapture, during the rapture and even during the 1000 years of Peace).

What does antichrist mean?
What is the spirit of the antichrist?
Who is the person; Antichrist?
How would you know an antichrist spirit?
What happens if you confess Jesus?
Will you be pursued because of the Name of Jesus?
Can you be saved, other than by the name of Jesus?

There is no other way to be saved , other than by the name of Jesus! and any action or belief against the death and resurrection of Jesus, and salvation only through Jesus, is an antichrist spirit which spirit will eventually realize in the person; Antichrist

What is the domain of Satan?
Where is Satan's residence today?
Does the Satan persecute a Christian today?
What is Satan's future?

Satan is on his way to Hell!!!!

Who was Lucifer (Satan)?
Why was Lucifer exiled from Heaven?
What was Lucifer's role in the fall of Adam and Eve?
When did the fall of Lucifer happen?
How many Angels followed Lucifer?
How mighty is Lucifer?
How must you address Satan?
Who was the Sons of GOD?
Can Satan still appear in Heaven?
Can Satan persecute you for your sins today?
How regular should you confess your sins?
When will Satan lose its power to persecute?

Satan must never be underestimated. He is most powerful!!!

When you die, how will you be judged?
Do you go to heaven or hell?
When does judgment happen?
What happens to your spirit and body?
When will you receive your glorified bodies?
What bodies will people have in Heaven?
What is the difference between temporary and glorified bodies?
Will you (and children ) be equal to Jesus in body and age?
What happens to unsaved persons after death?
Will unsaved persons receive glorified bodies?
What happens to a unsaved persons spirit and body?

Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

Openbaring 1: Die dinge wat jy gesien het - Deel 3/3


Die volgorde van profetiese gebeure (Op 1: 19)


Op 1:19 Skryf die dinge op wat jy gesien het, die wat is, sowel as die wat gaan gebeur;

Openbaring is die enigeste boek in die Bybel wat 'n geinspireerde buitelyn het van sy inhoud en daarom is daar geen rede om Openbaring as nie-chronologies gebeure te wil beskou nie. Ook in Openbaring self is daar geen uitspraak wat daarop aandui dat die gebeure nie in 'n tydorde plaasvind nie. Inteendeel, ons lees juis dikwels: "En na hierdie dinge..." (Op 4:1; 7:1,9; 18:1; 19:1).

Anders dan bogenoemde, is daar verskeie perentetiese gedeeltes in Openbaring wat die volgorde in Openbaring onderbreek om meer inligting of detail te gee.

Die struktuur van Openbaring behels dus;
  • Inleiding en groete (Op 1: 1-8)
  • Die dinge wat Johannes gesien het (Op 1:9-20)
  • Die dinge wat is (Op 2-3)
  • Die dinge wat gaan gebeur (Op 6:1 - 18.24), en
  • Die wederkoms van Jesus Christus (Op 19:1 - 20:3), en
  • Die Messiaanse koninkryk (Op 20:4 - 20:15), en
  • Die nuwe en ewige orde (Op 21:1 - 22:9),  en dan finaal
  • Die beloftes en laaste waarskuwings (Op 22: 10 - 22:21)

Revelations 1: Things you have seen - Part 3/3


The sequence of prophetic occurances (Rev 1: 19)


Rev 1:19 Therefore, write down what you have seen, what is, and what is going to happen after these things.

Revelations is the only book in the bible giving us an inspired outline of its content and therefore there is no reason to view Revelations as non-chronological, as within Revelations there is no indication read as to why it is not chronological. In fact we read in several instances "After these things...." (Rev 4:1; 7:1,9; 18:1; 19:1).

Other than this, there are several parenthetical insertions within Revelations that breaks the sequence of its revelations to supply more information and/or detail.

The structure of Revelations thus entails;
  • Introduction and greetings (Rev 1: 1-8)
  • The things that John had seen (Rev 1:9-20)
  • The things what is (Rev 2-3)
  • The things that is going to happen (Rev 6:1 - 18.24), and
  • The coming of Jesus Christ (Rev 19:1 - Rev 20:3), and
  • The Messianic kingdom (Rev 20:4 - Rev 20:15), and
  • The new and eternal order (Rev 21:1 - Rev 22:9),  then finally:
  • Promises and last warnings (Rev 22: 10 - Rev 22:21)

Revelations 1: Things you have seen - Part 2/3

The resurrected Lord Jesus Christ (Rev 1: 12 -18)


Rev 1:19 Therefore, write down what you have seen, what is, and what is going to happen after these things.

John turns to see and then records a series of descriptions and revelations of Jesus Christ. He sees Jesus, in all His glory, indeed in His role toay as our High Priest, in the mids of 7 goldens candle sticks, which are the 7 churches and in his right hand Jesus held 7 stars (angels), whom are the messengers / leaders of the 7 churches. (Rev 1: 20)

Rev 1:12-16 ISV Then I turned to see who was talking to me, and when I turned I saw seven gold lamp stands. (13) Among the lamp stands there was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash around his chest. (14) His head and his hair were white like wool, in fact, as white as snow. His eyes were like flames of fire, (15) his feet were like glowing bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of raging waters. (16) In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword. His face was like the sun when it shines with full force.

Jesus gives John, and us, the assurance that He existed from the beginning, He is the First and the Last. He has overcome death, to be alive forevermore!

Rev 1:17-18 ISV When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. But he placed his right hand on me and said, "Stop being afraid! I am the first and the last, (18) the living one. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever! I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Openbaring 1: Die dinge wat jy gesien het - Deel 2/3

Die verrese Here Jesus Christus (Op 1: 12 -18)


Op1:19 Skryf die dinge op wat jy gesien het, die wat is, sowel as die wat gaan gebeur;

Johannes draai, sien en skryf dan neer 'n series van beskrywings en openbarings van Jesus Christus. Hy sien Jesus, in all Sy heerlikheid, inderdaad in sy rol vandag as ons Hoe Priester, te midde van 7 kandelare, dit is die 7 gemeentes, en in Sy regterhand hou Jesus vas 7 sterre (engele), dit is die boodskappers / leeraars van die 7 meentes (Op1: 20).

Op1:12-16 AOV Toe draai ek my om, om te sien watter stem met my gespreek het; en toe ek my omgedraai het, sien ek sewe goue kandelaars, (13) en tussen die sewe kandelaars Een soos die Seun van die mens met ‘n kleed aan wat tot op die voete hang, en gegord om die bors met ‘n goue gordel. (14) Sy hoof en hare was wit soos wit wol, soos sneeu, en sy oë soos ‘n vuurvlam, (15) en sy voete soos blink koper wat gloei soos in ‘n oond, en sy stem soos die stem van baie waters. (16) En in sy regterhand het Hy sewe sterre gehou, en ‘n skerp tweesnydende swaard het uit sy mond uitgegaan, en sy aangesig was soos die son wat skyn in sy krag.

Jesus gee Johannes, en ons vandag, die versekering dat Hy van die bigin af aan bestaan, Hy is die Begin en die Einde. Hy het die dood oorwin, Hy lewe vir ewig!

Op1:17-18 AOV En toe ek Hom sien, val ek soos ‘n dooie aan sy voete; en Hy het sy regterhand op my gelê en vir my gesê: Moenie vrees nie; Ek is die eerste en die laaste (18) en die lewende; en Ek was dood en kyk, Ek leef tot in alle ewigheid. Amen. En Ek het die sleutels van die doderyk en van die dood.

Openbaring 1: Die dinge wat jy gesien het - Deel 1/3

Johannes die Apostel verban (Op 1: 9 - 11)


Op 1:19 Skryf die dinge op wat jy gesien het, die wat is, sowel as die wat gaan gebeur

Vanaf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_of_Patmos

Traditionally, this named author is believed to be the same person as both John the apostle of Jesus and John the author of the Fourth Gospel

Adela Collins, a theologian at the University of Notre Dame, writes:
"Early tradition says that John was banished to Patmos by the Roman authorities. This tradition is credible because banishment was a common punishment used during the Imperial period for a number of offenses. Among such offenses were the practices of magic and astrology. Prophecy was viewed by the Romans as belonging to the same category, whether Pagan, Jewish, or Christian. Prophecy with political implications, like that expressed by John in the book of Revelation, would have been perceived as a threat to Roman political power and order.

Op 1:9-11 Ek, Johannes, julle broeder en deelgenoot in die verdrukking en in die koninkryk en lydsaamheid van Jesus Christus, was op die eiland wat Patmos genoem word, ter wille van die woord van God en om die getuienis van Jesus Christus. (10) Ek was in die Gees op die dag van die Here, en ek het agter my ‘n groot stem gehoor, soos van ‘n basuin, wat sê: (11) Ek is die Alfa en die Oméga, die eerste en die laaste, en skryf wat jy sien in ‘n boek en stuur dit na die sewe gemeentes wat in Asië is: na Éfese en Smirna en Pérgamus en Thiatíre en Sardis en Filadelfía en Laodicéa.

Johannes was omrede sy geloof (terwille van die Woord van God & terwille van die getuienis van Jesus) na die eiland Patmos verban en dit was daar waar hy die groot stem van Jesus Christus gehoor het wat hom die opdrag gegee het om te "skryf wat jy sien in ‘n boek en stuur dit na die sewe gemeentes wat in Asië is: na Éfese en Smirna en Pérgamus en Thiatíre en Sardis en Filadelfía en Laodicéa."

Rev 1:9-11 I am John, your brother and partner in the oppression, kingdom, and patience that comes because of Jesus. I was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus. (10) I came to be in the Spirit on the Day of the Lord, when I heard a loud voice behind me like a trumpet, (11) saying, "Write on a scroll what you see, and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."

Because of his faith (the Word of God & the testomony about Jesus), John was banned to the island Patmos and it was there that he heard the loud voice of Jesus Christ giving him instructions to "Write on a scroll what you see, and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."

Openbaring 1: Groete aan die 7 kerke


Groete aan die 7 Kerke (Op 1:4-8)

Op 1:4 Johannes aan die sewe gemeentes in Asië: Genade vir julle en vrede van Hom wat is en wat was en wat kom, en van die sewe Geeste wat voor sy troon is

Die 7 gemeentes word by name genoem in Op 2-3

Die getal sewe in die Skrifte dui aan volmaaktheid en volkomendheid. Sien onder andere: http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/7.html

Die 7 kerke geopenbaar is dus verteenwoordigend van die ganse Kerk en die spesifieke gemeentes genoem verteenwoordig dus die toestand van die ganse Kerk en ook tydvakke wat in die Kerk geskiedenis sou volg.

Die groete vanaf die 7 Geeste dui op 'n kwalatiewe aspek en aldus op die 7 attribute van die Heilige Gees.

Jes 11:2 en op Hom sal die Gees van die HERE rus, die Gees van wysheid en verstand, die Gees van raad en sterkte, die Gees van kennis en van die vrees van die HERE.

Jesus Christus is die Getroue Getuie, het uit die dode opgestaan, is die Prins van alle konings op aarde en ook die Koning van alle konings, het ons lief, het ons van ons sondes gewas en het ons gemaak konings en priesters vir God.

Op 1:5-6 en van Jesus Christus, die getroue getuie, die eersgeborene uit die dode en die Owerste oor die konings van die aarde! Aan Hom wat ons liefgehad het en ons van ons sondes gewas het in sy bloed (6) en ons gemaak het konings en priesters vir sy God en Vader, aan Hom die heerlikheid en die krag tot in alle ewigheid! Amen.

Vers 7 is die tema van Openbaring; die wederkoms van Jesus Christus as troos vir die gemeentes!

Op 1:7 Kyk, Hy kom met die wolke, en elke oog sal Hom sien, ook hulle wat Hom deursteek het; en al die geslagte van die aarde sal oor Hom rou bedryf; ja, amen!

GOD die Vader word genoem die Alfa en die Omega (Op 1:8; 21:6), en

Die naam word ook gebruik en is van toepassing op Seun van GOD (Op 1:11; 22:13)

GOD, die Almagtige, wat instaat is tot alle dinge; Hy heers oor alle dinge en Hy beheer die gang van die geskiedenis en sal alles wat in Openbaring geskrywe staan tot vervulling bring.

Op 1:8 Ek is die Alfa en die Oméga, die begin en die einde, sê die Here, wat is en wat was en wat kom, die Almagtige.

Revelations 1: Greetings to the 7 Churches


Greetings to the 7 Churches (Rev 1: 4-8)

Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne;

Die 7 churches are named in Rev 1:11, also more fully described in Rev: 2-3

The figure Seven in Scripture indicates perfection and absoluteness. Also see: http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/7.html

The 7 churches would represent the entire church age and the specific churches named represent thus the comprehensive condition of the entire church as well as the church timelines that would follow during the church history.

The greeting from the 7 Spirits refers to a qualitative aspect and as such refers to the 7 attributes of the Holy Spirit.

Isa 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and power, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.

Jesus Christ is the Faithful Witness, has risen from the dead, is the Prince of all kings on earth, as well as the King of all kings, loves us, has washed us from our sins and has made us Kings and Priests for God.

Rev 1:5-6 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood; (6) and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests unto his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Verse 7 is the theme of Revelations; the second coming of Jesus Christ as comfort for the churches!

Rev 1:7 Look! He is coming in the clouds. Every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. So be it! Amen.

GOD the Father is called the Alpha and the Omega (Rev 1:8; 21:6), and this name is also applicable to the Son of GOD (Rev 1:11; 22:13)

GOD, the Almighty, whom can do everything; He reigns over all things and He regulates the flow of history. He will bring to fulfillment all that is written in Revelations.

Rev 1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

Openbaring 1 : Die Inleiding


Die Inleiding tot Openbaring (Op 1: 1-3)

Rev 1:1-3
Die openbaring van Jesus Christus wat God Hom gegee het om aan sy diensknegte te toon wat gou moet gebeur, en wat Hy deur die sending van sy engel aan sy dienskneg Johannes te kenne gegee het, (2) wat getuig het van die woord van God en die getuienis van Jesus Christus alles wat hy gesien het. (3) Salig is hy wat die woorde van die profesie lees, en die wat dit hoor en bewaar wat daarin geskrywe is, want die tyd is naby.
  • Die bron van hierdie openbaring is GOD
  • Wat dit gegee het aan sy Seun, Jesus Christus
  • om aan sy dienskenegte te toon (wedergebore, Heilige Gees-gevulde Christen gelowiges)
  • te toon (dws. die tekens met betelenisse van die tekens)
  • Wie dit op sy beurt gegee het vir 'n onbekende engel ('n boodskapper)
  • Om te gee aan sy (Jesus) se dienskneg Johnnes ( dit die Apostel Johnnes)
  • Wie beveel was om neer te skryf alles wat hy gesien het (maw. die tekens met betekenisse)
Alles wat Johannes gesien het rakende die Woord van GOD en die getuienis van Jesus Christus, het Johannes neergeskryf deur middel van tekens, visioene, gesigte en woorde , aldus die tekens met betekenisse van die tekens, en aldus dan GOD se belofte van 'n uitsonderlike Goddelike seen as ons die tekens bestudeer en verstaan.

Rev 1:3 Salig is hy wat die woorde van die profesie lees, en die wat dit hoor en bewaar wat daarin geskrywe is, want die tyd is naby.

Die studie van Openbaring is aldus 'n studie van die tekens se betekenisse om soedoende te verstaan wat die inhoud van God se openbarings beteken.

Die bestudering van die profesie sal 'n verwagte liefde en honger wakker maak vir die wederkoms van Jesus Christus.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Apostle
John the Apostle (c. AD 6 — c. 100) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was the son of Zebedee and Salome and brother of James, son of Zebedee, another of the Twelve Apostles. Christian tradition holds that he outlived the remaining apostles — all of whom suffered martyrdom — and ultimately died of natural causes "in great old age near Ephesus".[1] The Church Fathers consider him the same person as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, and the Beloved Disciple.

Vader, Jesus Christus, mag die lees en bestudering van U openbaring werklikwaar by ons 'n passie en liefde opwakker vir die dag van wederkoms van onse Here Jesus Christus, ons Bruidegom en Koning. Dankie Vader vir U Gees wat ons elke dag lei. Amen.

Revelations 1 : The Introduction


The Introduction to Revelations (Rev 1: 1-3)

Rev 1:1-3 KJV
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: (2) Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. (3) Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
  • The source of this revelation is GOD
  • Whom gave it to his Son, Jesus Christ,
  • to show his servants (born-again, Holy Spirit-filled Christian believers)
  • And he sent and signified it (gave signs and explanation of signs)
  • By his Angel (a messenger)
  • To give to his (Jesus's) servant John ( that is the Apostle John)
  • Whom was ordered to write down all that he had seen (the signs and explanation of the signs)

All that John had seen in regards to the Word of GOD and the testimony of Jesus, John has written down by means of signs, visions and words i.e. the signs and explanations of the signs, and as such GOD promises us an exceptional Divine blessing if we study and understand these signs.


Rev 1:3 "Blessed is the one who reads, as well as those who hear the words of this prophecy and pay attention to what is written in it because the time is near. "


This study is thus all about us studying the signs, and the explanation of the signs, enabling us to understand the revelations made by GOD.

The study of this prophecy will awaken a love and hunger as to the return of Jesus Christ.

John the Apostle (c. AD 6 — c. 100) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was the son of Zebedee and Salome and brother of James, son of Zebedee, another of the Twelve Apostles. Christian tradition holds that he outlived the remaining apostles — all of whom suffered martyrdom — and ultimately died of natural causes "in great old age near Ephesus".The Church Fathers consider him the same person as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, and the Beloved Disciple.


Father, Jesus Christus, may our reading and study of your revelations lead us to awaken a passion and love for the day of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Bridegroom and King. Thank You Lord Father for your Spirit that leads us every day. Amen.

Openbaring: Inleiding Deel 3 (Finaal)

Rev 1:7 Kyk, Hy kom met die wolke, en elke oog sal Hom sien, ook hulle wat Hom deursteek het; en al die geslagte van die aarde sal oor Hom rou bedryf; ja, amen!


Die vers gee ons die tema van Openbaring....die lang verwagte wederkoms van Jesus Christus!
Ons het dus Sy belofte dat hy weer gaan kom naamlik die troos en hoop van die gemeentes. Die boek Openbaring sluit dan ook af met die tema (Op. 22:20).

Openbaring gee aan ons deur tekens met betekenisse, dus 'n insig oor
a) gebeure tot op die wederkoms,
b) gebeure wat plaasvind tydens die wederkoms, en
c) gebeure wat volg op die wederkoms van Jesus Christus.

Rev 1:19 Skryf die dinge op wat jy gesien het, die wat is, sowel as die wat gaan gebeur;


The divisies van Openbaring behels die; 
  • Sewe seels
  • Sewe basuine
  • Sewe wraakskale
  • Sewe oordele
  • Sewe nuwe dinge

Benewens die divisies is daar verskeie parentetiese gedeeltes wat die reekse oordele onderbreek wat meer inligting of detail gee. 

Die struktuur van Openbaring behels;
  • Inleiding en groete (Op 1: 1-8)
  • Die dinge wat Johannes gesien het (Op 1:9-20)
  • Die dinge wat is (Op 2-3)
  • Die dinge wat gaan gebeur (Op 6:1 - 18.24)
  • Die wederkoms van Jesus Christus (Op 19:1 - 20:3)
  • Die Messiaanse koninkryk (Op 20:4 - 20:15)
  • Die nuwe en ewige orde (Op 21:1 - 22:9)
  • Die beloftes en laaste waarskuwings (Op 22: 10 - 22:21)

Daar is geen rede hoekom Openbaring as nie-chronologies gebeure te wil beskou nie. Ook in Openbaring self is daar geen uitspraak wat daarop aandui dat die gebeure nie in 'n tydorde plaasvind nie. Inteendeel, ons lees juis dikwels: "En na hierdie dinge..." (Op 4:1; 7:1,9; 18:1; 19:1).

Revelations: Intro Part 3 (Final)

Rev 1:7 Look! He is coming in the clouds. Every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. Every tribe on earth will mourn because of him. This is true. Amen.


This verse gives us the whole theme of Revelations....the long awaiting second coming of Jesus Christ!
We have thus the promise of His return, the comfort and hope of the Churches. The book Revelations also closes with theme (Rev 22:20).

Revelations thus provides us with signs with meanings, that gives us an insight into
  • things that will happen up to the visible coming of Jesus Christ,
  • things that will happen during his coming, and
  • things that will happen after his coming.

Rev 1:19 Therefore, write down what you have seen, what is, and what is going to happen after these things.

The divisions within Revelations contain the;
  • Seven seals
  • Seven trumpets
  • Seven plagues
  • Seven bowls
  • Seven new things

Other than this, there are several parenthetical insertion within Revelations that breaks the sequence of the above ranges of judgements to supply more information and/or detail.

The structure of Revelations entails;
  • Introduction and greetings (Rev 1: 1-8)
  • The things that John had seen (Rev 1:9-20)
  • The things what is (Rev 2-3)
  • The things that is going to happen (Rev 6:1 - 18.24)
  • The coming of Jesus Christ (Rev 19:1 - Rev 20:3)
  • The Messianic kingdom (Rev 20:4 - Rev 20:15)
  • The new and eternal order (Rev 21:1 - Rev 22:9)
  • Promises and last warnings (Rev 22: 10 - Rev 22:21)

There is no reason to view Revelations as non-chronological as within Revelations there is no indication read as to why it is not chronological. In fact we read in several instances "After these things...." (Rev 4:1; 7:1,9; 18:1; 19:1).

Openbaring - Inleiding Deel 2

Op 1:3 Salig is hy wat die woorde van die profesie lees, en die wat dit hoor en bewaar wat daarin geskrywe is, want die tyd is naby.


Hoe geseend inderdaad sal jy wees as jy lees wat geskrywe staan in Openbaring.

Openbaring as 'n profetiese openbaring gemaak deur Jesus Christus, is letterlik sowel as figuurlik. Hierdie boek moet letterlik opgeneem word behalwe waar dit duidelik simbolies is, en waar dit hoogs onwaarskynlik blyk te wees dat dit letterlik is.

Openbaring is "Die openbaring van Jesus Christus wat God Hom gegee het om aan sy diensknegte te toon wat gou moet gebeur, en wat Hy deur die sending van sy engel aan sy dienskneg Johannes te kenne gegee het. (Op 1:3) en was gerig aan die sewe gemeentes in Asie. Dit is egter ook bedoel vir die Kerk van Christus dws. alle gemeentes van Jesus Christus in die eeue wat sou volg.

Die Heilige Geskrifte is nie 'n sistematiese verhandeling, te wete teologie, geskeidenis of wetenskap of enige ander onderwerp nie. Dit is egter wel die openbaring van GOD, van sy plan en doel deur die eeue heen met betrekking tot die aarde en die mens.

Openbaring is die mees wonderlike geinspireerde boek wat presies sy naam impliseer: Dit is 'n OPENBARING!!!

Op 22:6-7
(6) En hy het vir my gesê: Hierdie woorde is betroubaar en waaragtig; en die Here, die God van die heilige profete, het sy engel gestuur om sy diensknegte te toon wat gou moet gebeur. (7) Kyk, Ek kom gou. Salig is hy wat die woorde van die profesie van hierdie boek bewaar"

Vader, ek so dankbaar vir verlossing deur Jesus alleen, vir ganade en vir die hoop in ons harte deur die krag van die Heilige Gees wat my opgewonde, afwagtend maak op die wederkoms van u Seun, Jesus Christus, my Verlosser, my Saligmaker. In die wonderbare naam van Jesus Christus, gee ek u al die lof en eer.

Amen

Revelations - Intro Part 2

Rev 1:3 How blessed is the one who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and obey what is written in it, for the time is near!


How blessed indeed you will be if you read what is written in Revelations.

Revelations as a prophetic revelation made by Jesus Christ, is literal as well as figuratively. This book must be viewed as being literal, except were it is otherwise obvious figurative speach, where it is obvious symbolic and in instances were it is highly improbable to be literal.

Revelations ".... is the revelation of Jesus Christ. God gave it to him to show his servants the things that must happen soon. He sent this revelation through his angel to his servant John" (Rev 1:1 ) and was addressed to the seven churches at the time in Asia. It is also however addressed to the the Church of Jesus Christ i.e all the churches of Jesus Christ throughout the ages of time that has followed.


The Holy Scripture is not a systematic composition, in other words theology, or history, or science, or any topic but it is a revelation from GOD. It reveals GOD's plan and goal throughout the ages in regard to the earth and humans.

Revelations is the most wonderful inspired book as it's name indeed depicts: It is a REVELATION!

Rights (C) 2011 Raymond D Lombard


Rev 22:6-7
(6) He said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show his servants the things that must happen soon. (7) I'm coming soon! Blessed is the one who follows the words of the prophecy in this book."

Father God, I am so thankful for redemption thought Jesus Christ alone, for grace and for the hope in my heart by the power of the Holy Spirit which makes me exited and waiting on the coming of your Son, Jesus Christ, my Saviour, my Redeemer. In the wonderful naam of Jesus Christ, I give you al the honour and praise.

Amen

Openbaring - Inleiding Deel 1

Gedurende 2011 was ek geseend met die geleentheid om bybelstudie klasse by te woon waarin ek gedurende die jaar lering aangaande die boek Openbaring ontvang het. Ek het ook aan die einde van 2011 my kennis met my Sanlam Sel Groep gedeel en ons het toe besluit om in die jaar 2012 Openbaring te bespreek.


Ek het ook besluit om ons gesprekke to sommeer en dan aan te stuur na jou om te lees. Jy kan in elk geval enige tyd die sel bywoon indien jy dit sou verkies.

As dit, wat ek met jou deel jou belangstelling opwek, dan is daar 'n teks-vir-teks kommentaar / boek beskibaar @ R75 elk. ( Engelse weergave daarvan beskibaar einde Februarie 2012). Wat ek aanstuur vir julle is slegs 'n sommering en 'n volledige beskikbaarheid van die skrywer se lering (Raymond Lombard Ministries) is aan jou beskikbaar as jy die boek en/of A4 notas tov elke hoofstuk ook beskikbaar @ R10 elk, aankoop. Jy kan enige bestellings met my plaas of verkry dit deur die volgende kontak details; Tel 0219391898 of per mail na vekparow@mweb.co.za.

So, waarom die bestudering van Openbaring?

Rev 1:3 Salig is hy wat die woorde van die profesie lees, en die wat dit hoor en bewaar wat daarin geskrywe is, want die tyd is naby.

Openbaring as 'n bybel boek is afgelei van die Griekse woord apokaluyij 'apokalupsis' menende 'revelation' (Strong's 602), aldus 'n "Openbaring" wat dus as die laaste bybel boek inderdaad die "Die openbaring van Jesus Christus is, wat God Hom gegee het om aan sy diensknegte te toon wat gou moet gebeur, en wat Hy deur die sending van sy engel aan sy dienskneg Johannes te kenne gegee het" (Op 1:1)

Johannes het dus geskrywe " ..die dinge op wat jy gesien het, die wat is, sowel as die wat gaan gebeur" (Rev 1:19 ) en die boek Openbaring, is dus 'n openbaring (Grieks apo + kalupto = oopmaak) i.e. openbarend , maar tergelyk ook 'n profesie (Op 1:3, 22:7, 10, 18-19) is ook na verwys as 'n profeties - apokoliptiese geskrif wat ons aandui 'n besondere karater ter onderskeiding van die ander boeke in die Nuwe Testatment.

Revelations - Intro Part 1

In 2011 I was blessed with the opportunity to attend some bible study classes in which we during the year studied Revelations. I have since shared some of my knowledge within my Sanlam Cell Group and we have decided late last year to study Revelations during 2012.


I have also decided to summarize the weekly discussions and to the pass it on to you to read.
In any event you are welcome to join our weekly meetings if you so prefer.

If you are or become interested in what I share with you, there is a full text by text commentary / book available @ R75 each. ( English version only available end of February 2012). What I pass on to you is indeed only a summary and full disclosure of the writers teaching (Raymond Lombard Ministries) is only available to you if you purchase the book and/or A4 notes for each chapter, also available @ R10 each.

You are welcome to order any material through myself or use the following contact details Tel 0219391898 or mail; vekparow@mweb.co.za.

So why the study of Revelations?

Rev 1:3 How blessed is the one who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and obey what is written in it, for the time is near!

Revelations as a Bible book is derived from the Greek word apokaluyij 'apokalupsis' meaning 'revelation' (Strong's 602)...and Revelations as the last book of the Bible, is in indeed " The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John (Rev 1:1) "

John thus did wrote down what he had seen, what is, and what is going to happen after these things. (Rev 1:19 ) and Revelations , thus as a Prophesy (Rev 1:3, 22:7, 10, 18-19) is in fact also referred to as a Prophetic Apokaluptic writing, thereby depicting a exceptional character separating Revelations from all other books in the New Testament.
