THE PARABLE OF THE PERSISTENT WIDOW: 

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Luke 18:1-8] 

1. Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up, (faint, lose heart).

2. He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither reverenced and feared God nor respected or considered man.  

3. "And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea: 'Protect and defend and grant me justice against my adversary.'

4. "And for some time he refused. But finally he said to himself: 'Even though I don't fear or reverence God or care and have consideration for man;

5. "'Yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will defend and protect and avenge her, lest she gives me intolerable annoyance and wear me out by her continual coming or at the last she comes and rails on me or assaults  me!'"

6. And the Lord said: "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 

7. "And will not (our just) God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry out to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf?

8. "I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of man comes, will He find (persistence in) faith on the earth?"

2. En gesê: "Daar was 'n regter in 'n stad wat God nie gevrees en geen mens ontsien het nie. 

3. "En daar was in daardie stad 'n weduwee, en sy het gedurig na hom gekom en gesê: 'Doen reg aan my teenoor my teëparty.'

4. "En 'n tyd lank wou hy nie; maar daarna het hy by homself gesê: 'Al vrees ek God ook nie, en al ontsien ek geen mens nie,

5. "'Tog sal ek omdat hierdie weduwee my moeite gee, aan haar reg doen, sodat sy nie eindelik kom en my in die gesig slaan nie.'"

6. Toe sê die Here: "Hoor wat die onregverdige regter sê. 

7. "Sal God nie reg doen aan Sy uitverkorenes wat dag en nag tot Hom roep nie, al is Hy ook lankmoedig in hulle geval?

6. "En as hy by die huis kom, roep hy sy bure en vriende bymekaar en sê vir hulle: 'Wees saam met my bly, want ek het my skaap gekry wat verlore was.'

7. "Ek sê vir julle dat daar net so blydskap sal wees in die hemel oor een sondaar wat hom bekeer, meer as oor nege-en-negentig regverdiges wat die bekering nie nodig het nie. 

8. "Of watter vrou wat tien pennings het, as sy een penning verloor, steek nie 'n lamp op en vee die huis uit en soek sorgvuldig totdat sy dit kry nie?

MARRIAGE AT THE RESURRECTION:

1. English - (New International Version)

[Markus 12:18-27]

18. Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him with a question. 

19. "Teacher," they said: "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother. 

20. "Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 

21. "The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 

22. "In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 

23. "At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since all seven were married to her?"

24. Jesus replied: "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25. "When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like angels in heaven. 

26. "Now about the dead rising -- have you not read in the book of Moses, in the  account of the burning bush, how God said to him: 'I Am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'

27. "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"

HUWELIKE BY DIE OPSTANDING:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Markus 12:18-27]

18. Toe kom daar Sadduseërs na Hom, die wat sê dat daar geen opstanding is nie, en hulle vra Hom en sê: 

19. "Meester, Moses het ons voorgeskrywe: As iemand se broer sterwe en 'n vrou agterlaat en geen kinders nalaat nie, moet sy broer sy vrou neem en kinders vir sy broer verwek. 

20. "Nou was daar sewe broers, en die eerste het 'n vrou geneem en gesterwe sonder om kinders na te laat. 

21. "En die tweede het haar geneem en gesterwe, en hy het ook geen kinders nagelaat nie; en die derde net so. 

22. "En al sewe het haar geneem en geen kinders nagelaat nie. Laaste van almal het die vrou ook gesterwe. 

23. "In die opstanding dan, wanneer hulle opstaan, wie van hulle se vrou sal sy wees? - want al sewe het haar as vrou gehad."

24. En Jesus antwoord en sê vir hulle: "Is dit nie daarom dat julle dwaal dat julle die Skrifte en ook die krag van God nie ken nie?

25. "Want wanneer hulle uit die dode opstaan, trou hulle nie en word hulle nie in die huwelik uitgegee nie, maar is soos engele wat in die hemele is. 

26. "En wat die dode betref, dat hulle opstaan -- het julle nie gelees in die boek van Moses, in die gedeelte oor die doringbos, hoe God vir hom gesê het: 'Ek is die God van Abraham, en die God van Isak en die God van Jakob nie?'

27. "God is nie 'n God van dooies nie, maar 'n God van lewendes. Julle dwaal dus grootliks."

7.

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

PRESSING ON TOWARDS THE GOAL:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Philippians 3:17-21]

17. Brethren, together follow my example and observe those who live after the pattern we have set for you. 

18. For there are many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk (live) as enemies of the cross of Christ (the Anointed One).

19. The are doomed and their fate is eternal misery (perdition); their god is their stomach (their appetites, their sensuality), and they glory in their shame, siding with earthly things and being of their party. 

20. But we are citizens of the state,  (commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven, and from it also we earnestly and patiently await (the coming of) the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [as] Saviour. 

21. Who will transform and fashion anew the body of our humiliation to conform to and be like the body of His glory and majesty, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself.

[Filippense 3:17-21]

17. Wees ook my navolgers broeders, en let op die wat so wandel soos julle ons tot voorbeeld het. 

18. Want baie --- van wie ek julle dikwels gesê het, en nou ook onder trane sê --- wandel as vyande van die kruis van Christus. 

19. Hulle einde is die verderf, hulle god is die buik en hulle eer is in hulle skande; hulle bedink aardse dinge. 

20. Want ons burgerskap is in die hemele, van waar ons ook as Verlosser verwag die Here Jesus Christus,

21. Wat ons vernederde liggaam van gedaante sal verander, om gelykvormig te word aan Sy verheerlikte liggaam volgens die werking waardeur Hy ook alles aan Homself kan onderwerp.

13. When you were dead in your sins and in the circumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,

11. In wie julle ook besny is met 'n besnydenis wat nie met hande verrig word nie, deur die liggaam van die sondige vlees af te lê in die besnydenis van Christus,

12. Omdat julle saam met Hom begrawe is in die doop, waarin julle ook saam opgewek is deur die geloof in die werking van God, wat Hom uit die dode opgewek het. 

13. En julle, wat dood was deur die misdade en die onbesnedenheid van die vlees, het Hy (God), saam met Hom lewend gemaak, deurdat Hy julle al die misdade vergewe het. 

14. En die skuldbrief teen ons, wat met sy insettinge ons vyandig was, uitgedelg en weggeneem het, deur dit aan die kruis vas te nael. 

15. Nadat Hy die owerhede en magte uitgeklee en hulle in die openbaar tentoongestel en daardeur oor hulle getriomfeer het. 

(God willing and by His marvellous mercy and grace I endeavour to share 'End Times' with you as often as I possibly can. / As dit die wil van God is en deur Sy wonderbare genade en barmhartigheid, sal ek poog om 'Eindtye' so dikwels moontlik met u deel.)

5. Let this same attitude and purpose and (humble) mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: (Let Him be your example in humility).

6. Who, although being essentially One with God, and in the form of God, (possessing the fullness of attributes which make God, God), did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained. 

7. But stripped Himself (of all privileges and rightful dignity), so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. 

8. And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself (still further) and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! 

9. Therefore, (because He stooped so low), God Has highly exalted Him and Has freely bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name,

10. That in (at) the Name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth. 

11. And every tongue (frankly and openly)  confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

12. Therefore my dear ones, as you have   always obeyed (my suggestions), so now, not only (with the enthusiasm you would show) in my presence, but much more because you are absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling, (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the Name of Christ.)

[Philippiance 3:17-21]

17. Brethren, together follow my example and observe those who live after the pattern we have set for you. 

18. For there are many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk (live) as enemies of the cross of Christ (the Anointed One.) 

19. They are doomed and their fate is eternal misery (perdition); their god is their stomach (their appetites, their sensuality) and they glory in their shame, siding with earthly things and being of their party. 

20. But we are citizens of the state (commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven, and from it also we earnestly and patiently await (the coming of) the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [as] Saviour,

21. Who will transform and fashion anew the body of our humiliation to conform to, and be like the BODY OF HIS GLORY AND MAJEDTY, by exerting that power which enables Him to subject everything to Himself.

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[Psalm 16:8] 

Ek stel die Here altyddeur voor my; omdat Hy aan my regterhand is, sal ek nie wankel nie.  

DIE NEDERIGHEID EN VERHEERLIKING VAN CHRISTUS:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Filippense 2:5-12]

5. Want hierdie gesindheid moet in julle wees wat ook in Christus Jesus was. 

6. Hy, wat in die gestalte van God was, het dit geen roof geag om aan God gelyk te wees nie,

7. Maar het Homself ontledig deur die gestalte van 'n dienskneg aan te neem en aan die mense gelyk geword; 

8. En in gedaante gevind as 'n mens, het Hy Homself verneder deur gehoorsaam te word tot die dood toe, ja, die dood van die kruis. 

9. Daarom het God Hom ook uitermate verhoog en Hom 'n Naam gegee wat bo elke naam is, 

10. Sodat in die Naam van Jesus sou buig elke knie van die wat in die hemel en die wat op die aarde en die wat onder die aarde is,

11. En elke tong sou bely dat Jesus Christus die Here is, tot heerlikheid van God die Vader. 

12. Daarom, my geliefdes, soos julle altyd gehoorsaam gewees het, nie in my teenwoordigheid alleen nie, maar baie meer nou in my afwesigheid, werk julle eie heil uit met vrees en bewing. 

[Filippense 3:17-21]

17. Wees ook my navolgers broeders, en let op die wat so wandel soos julle ons tot voorbeeld het. 

18. Want baie -- van wie ek julle dit dikwels gesê het en nou ook onder trane sê -- wandel as vyande van die kruis van Christus. 

19. Hulle einde is die verderf, hulle god is die buik en hulle eer is in hulle skande; hulle bedink aardse dinge. 

20. Want ons burgerskap is in die hemele, vanwaar ons ook as Verlosser verwag die Here Jesus Christus. 

21. Wat ons vernederde liggaam van gedaande sal verander, om gelykvormig te word aan Sy VERHEERLIKTE  liggaam, volgens die werking waardeur Hy ook alles aan Homself kan onderwerp.

WORD OF THE DAY / WOORD VAN DIE DAG.

11 June 2014. 

WORD OF THE DAY:

[Habakkuk 3:17-19]

17. Though the fig tree does not blossom  and there is no fruit on the vines, (though) the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,

18. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exalt in the (victorious) God of my salvation!

19. The Lord God is my strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk (not to stand still in terror, but to walk) and make (spiritual) progress upon my high places (of trouble, suffering, or responsibility)!  

11 Junie 2014.  

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[Habakuk 3:17-19] 

17. Alhoewel die vyeboom nie sal bloei en aan die wingerdstokke geen vrug sal wees nie, die drag van die olyfboom sal teleurstel en die saailande geen voedsel oplewer nie. die kleinvee uit die kraal verdwyn, en geen beeste in die stalle sal wees nie ---

18. Nogtans sal ek jubel in die Here, ek sal juig in die God van my heil.  

19. Die Here is my sterkte, en Hy maak my voete soos die van herte, en Hy laat my tree op my hoogtes.

RECEIVING A GLORIOUS RESURRECTION BODY. / OM 'N WONDERBARE NUWE OPSTANDINGS LIGGAAM TE ONTVANG.

Tursday 10 June 2014.

WORD OF THE DAY:

[Deuteronomy 31:6]  Be strong and of good courage. Do not fear nor be afraid of them. For the Lord your God is He Who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. 

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

RECEIVING A GLORIOUS NEW RESURRECTION BODY:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[1 Corinthians 15:35-58]

35. But someone will say: "How can the dead be raised, and with what (kind of body) will they come forth?

36. You foolish man! Every time you plant seed, you plant something that does not come to life (germinating, springing up, and growing,) unless it dies first. 

37. Nor is the seed you sow then the body which it is going to have (later), but it is a naked kernel, perhaps of wheat or some of the rest of the grains.

38. But God gives to it the body that He plans and sees fit, and to each kind of seed a body of its own. 

39. For all flesh is not the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for beasts, another for birds, and another for fish. 

40. There are heavenly bodies (sun, moon and stars), and there are earthly bodies (men, animals and plants)), but the beauty and glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, while the beauty and glory of earthly bodies is a different kind. 

41. The sun is glorious in one way, the moon is glorious in another way, and the stars are glorious in their own (distinctive) way; for one star differs from and surpasses another in its beauty and brilliance. 

42. So it is with the resurrection of the dead. (The body)is perishable and decays, but (the body) that is resurrected is imperishable (immune to decay, immortal.)

43. It is sown in dishonour and humiliation; it is raised in honour and glory. It is sown in infirmity and weakness; it is resurrected in   strength and endued with power. 

44. It is sown a natural (physical) body; it is raised a supernatural (a spiritual) body. (As surely as) there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body. 

45. Thus it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam, (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit, (restoring the dead to life.)

46. But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual. 

47. The first man (was) from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man (is) the Lord out of heaven. 

48. Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is (the Man) from heaven so also (are those) who are of heaven (heavenly-minded).

49. And just as we have borne the image (of the man) of dust, so shall we - and so let us also bear the image (of the Man) of heaven.

50. But I tell you this brethren, flesh and  blood cannot (become partakers of eternal salvation and) inherit or share in the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable, (that which is decaying) inherit or share in the imperishable (the immortal).

51. Take notice! I tell you a mystery, (a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God.) We shall not all fall asleep (in death), but we shall all be changed (transformed).

52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the (sound of the) last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead (in Christ) will be raised imperishable (free and  immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed).

53. For this perishable (part of us) must put on the imperishable (nature), and this mortal (part of us, this nature that is capable of dying), must put on immortality (freedom from death).

54. And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says: DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP, (utterly vanquished forever) in and unto victory. 

55. O death, where is your victory? O death where is your sting? 

56. Now sin is the sting of death, and sin exercises its power (upon the soul) through (the abuse of) the Law. 

57. But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory (making us conquerors) through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

58. Therefore my beloved brethren, be firm, (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,(always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord), knowing and being continually aware that your labour in the Lord is not futile. (It is never wasted or to no purpose .)

Dinsdag 10 Junie 2014. 

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[Deuteronomium 31:6]  Wees sterk en vol moed; wees nie bevrees en word nie verskrik vir hulle nie; want dit is die Here jou God wat saam met jou trek; Hy sal jou nie begewe of verlaat nie. 

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:

OM 'N WONDERBARE NUWE OPSTANDINGS-LIGGAAM TE ONTVANG:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[1 Korintiërs 15:35-58]

35. Maar iemand sal sê: "Hoe word die dode opgewek, en met hoedanige liggaam kom hulle?" 

36. Dwase mens! Wat jy saai word nie lewendig as dit nie gesterf het nie. 

37. En wat jy saai -- jy saai nie die liggaam wat sal word nie, maar 'n blote korrel, byvoorbeeld van koring of van iets anders. 

38. Maar God gee dit 'n liggaam soos Hy dit gewil het, en aan elkeen van die saadkorrels sy eie liggaam. 

39. Alle vlees in nie dieselfde vlees nie, maar die vlees van mense is anders as die vlees van vee, en die vlees van visse anders as die van voëls. 

40. En daar is hemelse liggame en aardse liggame; maar die heerlikheid van die hemelse is anders as die van die aardse. 

41. Anders is die heerlikheid van die son en anders is die heerlikheid van die maan, en anders die heerlikheid van die sterre; want die een ster verskil in heerlikheid van die ander ster. 

42. So is ook die opstanding van die dode: daar word gesaai in verganklikheid, daar word opgewek in onverganklikheid;

43. Daar word gesaai in oneer, daar word opgewek in heerlikheid; daar word gesaai in swakheid, daar word opgewek in krag. 

44. 'n Natuurlike liggaam word gesaai, 'n geestelike liggaam word opgewek. Daar is 'n natuurlike liggaam en daar is 'n geestelike liggaam. 

45. So is daar ook geskrywe: "Die eerste mens Adam, het 'n lewende siel geword; die laaste Adam (Jesus), 'n lewendmakende Gees. 

46. Die geestelike is ewenwel nie eerste nie, maar die natuurlike; daarna die geestelike. 

47. Die eerste mens was uit die aarde aards, die tweede Mens is die Here uit die hemel. 

48. Soos die aardse mens was, so is ook die aardse mense; en soos die Hemelse Mens is, so is ook die hemelse mense. 

49. En soos ons ook die beeld van die aardse gedra het, so sal ons ook die beeld van die hemelse dra. 

50. Maar dit verklaar ek broeders, dat vlees en bloed die koninkryk van God nie kan beërwe nie. Ook beërwe die verganklikheid nie die onverganklikheid nie. 

51. Kyk, ek deel julle 'n verborgenheid mee: ons sal wel nie almal ontslaap nie, maar ons sal almal verander word. 

52. In 'n oomblik, in 'n oogwink, by die laaste basuin; want die basuin sal weerklink, en die dode sal onverganklik opgewek word; en ons wat nog lewe sal ook verander word. 

53. Want hierdie verganklike liggaam moet met onverganklikheid beklee word, en hierdie sterflike moet met onsterflikheid beklee word. 

54. En wanneer hierdie verganklike met onverganklikheid beklee is, en hierdie sterflike met onsterflikheid beklee is, dan sal vervul word die Woord wat geskrywe is: DIE DOOD IS VERSLIND IN DIE OORWINNING. 

55. Dood, waar is jou angel? Doderyk, waar is jou oorwinning?

56. Die angel van die dood is die sonde, en die krag van die sonde is die wet. 

57. Maar God Sy dank, wat ons die oorwinning gee deur onse Here Jesus Christus. 

58. Daarom, my geliefde broeders, wees standvastig, onbeweeglik, altyd oorvloedig in die werk van die Here, omdat julle weet dat julle arbeid in die Here nie tevergeefs is nie.

THE RISEN CHRIST, FAITH'S REALITY. / DIE OPGESTANE CHRISTUS, DIE REALITEIT VAN ONS GELOOF.

Weekend 7 & 8 June 2014.

WORD OF THE DAY:

[Matthew 28:20]  "Behold, I Am with you all the days, until the end of the world. Amen."

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

THE RISEN CHRIST, FAITH'S REALITY:

1. English - (New King James Version)

[1 Corinthians 15:12-34]

12. But if Christ is proclaimed, that He was risen from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13. But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither Has Christ been raised. 

14. And if Christ Has not been raised, then our proclamation is worthless, and our faith is also worthless.   

15. And we are also found to be false witnesses of God, because we testify of God that He raised Christ; whom He did not raise if the dead are not raised. 

16. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ is not raised. 

17. And if Christ is not raised, your faith is foolish; you are yet in your sins.  

18. Then also those who fell asleep in Christ, were lost. 

19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 

20. But now Christ has risen from the dead, and Has become the first-fruit of those who slept. (In death)

21. For since death is through man, the resurrection of the dead also is through a Man. (Jesus)

22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive.

23. But each in his own order: Christ the first-fruit and afterward those who are Christ's at His coming; 

24. Then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the

Father; when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. (Of the enemy)

25. For it is right for Him to reign until He Has put all enemies under His feet. 

26. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.  

27. For He put all things under His feet. But when He says that all things have been put under His feet, it is plain that it excepts Him Who Has put all things under Him. 

28. But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subject to Him WHO HAS subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all things in all. 

29. Otherwise, what will they do, those being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not at all raised, why indeed are they baptized on behalf of the dead?

30. And why are we also in danger every hour?

31. Day by day I die, by your rejoicing. which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

32. If according to man I fought with beasts in Ephesus, what advantage is it to me if the dead are not raised? "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

33. Do not be deceived: "Evil companionships corrupt good habits."

34. Be righteously awake, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. 

Naweek 7 & 8 Junie 2014. 

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[Matthéüs 28:20]  "En kyk, Ek is met julle al die dae tot aan die voleinding van die wêreld. Amen."

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:

DIE OPGESTANE CHRISTUS, DIE REALITEIT VAN ONS GELOOF:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[1 Korintiërs 15:12-34]

12. As dit dan gepreek word dat Christus uit die dode opgewek is, hoe sê sommige onder julle dat daar geen opstanding van die dode is nie? 

13. As daar geen opstanding van die dode is nie, dan is Christus ook nie opgewek nie. 

14. En as Christus nie opgewek is nie, dan is ons prediking vergeefs en vergeefs ook julle geloof;

15. En dan word ons valse getuies van God bevind, omdat ons teen God getuig dat Hy Christus opgewek het, wat Hy nie opgewek het nie, ten minste as die dode nie opgewek word nie. 

16. Want as die dode nie opgewek word nie, dan is Christus ook nie opgewek nie;

17. En as Christus nie opgewek is nie, dan is julle geloof nutteloos, dan is julle nog in julle sondes;

18. Dan is ook die wat in Christus ontslaap het, verlore. 

19. As ons net vir hierdie lewe op Christus hoop, dan is ons die ellendigste van alle mense. 

20. Maar nou, Christus is opgewek uit die dode; Hy het die Eersteling geword van die wat ontslaap het. 

21. Want aangesien die dood deur 'n mens is, is die opstanding van die dode ook deur 'n Mens. (Jesus)

22. Want soos hulle almal in Adam sterwe, so sal hulle ook almal in Christus lewend gemaak word;

23. Maar elkeen in sy eie orde: as Eersteling Christus daarna die wat aan Christus behoort by Sy koms.  

24. Daarna kom die einde, wanneer Hy die koninkryk aan God die Vader oorgee, as Hy alle heerskappy en alle gesag (van die vyand) vernietig het. 

25. Want Hy moet as Koning heers totdat Hy al Sy vyande onder Sy voete gestel het. 

26. Die laaste vyand wat vernietig word, is die dood. 

27. Want Hy het alles aan Sy voete onderwerp, maar as Hy sê dat alles onderwerp is, is dit duidelik dat Hy uitgesonder is wat alles aan Hom onderwerp het. 

28. En wanneer alles aan Hom onderwerp is, dan sal ook die Seun self Hom onderwerp aan die Een wat alles aan Hom onderwerp het, sodat God alles in almal kan wees. 

29. Anders, wat sal hulle doen wat hulle vir die dode laat doop, as die dode geheel en al nie opgewek word nie? Waarom laat hulle hul nog vir die dode doop?

30. Waarom is ons ook elke uur in gevaar?

31. Ek sterf dag vir dag, broeders, sowaar as wat ek op julle roem in Christus Jesus, onse Here. 

32. As ek in Éfese op menslike wyse met wilde diere geveg het, wattet voordeel was dit vir my? As die dode nie opgewek word nie, "laat ons dan eet en drink, want môre sterf ons!"

33. Moenie dwaal nie; slegte gesprekke bederf goeie sedes. 

34. Wees nugter op die regte manier, en sondig nie; want sommige het geen kennis van God nie. Ek sê dit

tot julle beskaming!

THE DAY OF THE LORD. / DIE WEDERKOMS VAN DIE HERE.

Thursday 5 June 2014.

NB! It is very important that you read my blog about 'End Times' regularly, as to get better insight of what will happen to you. Be sure that if you accepted the fact (believe in your heart) that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that God raised Him up from the dead, you will be saved. (Please read Romans 10:6-13, in order to get clarity concerning this.)

Then, when Jesus comes on the clouds of heaven, you will be reckoned with the elect, and you will meet Jesus in the air - (whether dead or still alife) 

Then, when destruction comes, you will be a spectator from the porches of heaven. 

Please bear with me. I am trying to put all the 'End Time' Scriptures in proper order of importance, as the Holy Spirit leads me. Just be faithful and try to study all the blogs concerning this, in order to get a better perspective.  

          <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

WORD OF THE DAY:

[Hebrews 4:15,16]

15. For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to sympathise with our weaknesses, but we have One Who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet without sin. 

16. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us, in our time of need. 

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

THE DAY OF THE LORD:

Part 2.

1. English - (New International Version)

[2 Peter 3:11-18]

11. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and Godly lives;

12. As you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 

13. But in keeping with His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. 

14. So then dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with Him. 

15. Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul, also wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him. 

16. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.   

17. Therefore dear friends, since you already know this, be on guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men, and fall from your secure position. 

18. But grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever! Amen.  

Donderdag 5 Junie 2014.

NB! Dit is baie belangrik dat u my blog betreffende 'Eindtye' gereeld lees. Sodoende sal u 'n beter begrip verkry wat met u gaan gebeur. Wees verseker dat as u die feit aanvaar het (in u hart glo) dat Jesus Christus die Seun van God is, en dat God Hom uit die dode opgewek het, sal u gered word. (Lees asseblief Romeine 10:6-13 sodat u klarigheid en bevestinging betreffende hiervan kan kry.) Dan, wanneer Jesus op die wolke van die hemel kom, sal u gereken word met die uitverkorenes, en sal u ook Jesus tegemoet gaan in die lug. (Hetsy u al dood is, of nog lewe.)

Dan, wanneer destruksie kom, sal u uitsig vanuit die portale van die hemel hê, en getuies wees van al die gebeure. 

Wees asseblief geduldig met my. Ek probeer om al die 'Eindtyd' Skrifte in 'n redelike orde te hou, soos wat die Heilige Gees my lei. Wees net getrou en probeer om al hierdie verskillende ugegewens te bestuur, sodat u beter insig daaromtrent kan verkry. 

          <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[Hebreërs 4:15,16]

15. Want ons het nie 'n Hoëpriester wat nie met ons swakhede medelye kan hê nie, maar Een wat in alle opsigte versoek is net soos ons, maar sonder sonde. 

16. Laat ons dan met vrymoedigheid na die troon van genade gaan, sodat ons barmhartigheid kan verkry en genade vind, om op die regte tyd gehelp te word. 

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:

DIE WEDERKOMS VAN DIE HERE:

Deel 2.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[2 Petrus 3:11-18]

11. Terwyl hierdie dinge dan vergaan, hoedanig moet julle nie wees in heilige wandel en godsvrug nie? - -

12. Julle wat die koms van die dag van God verwag en verhaas, waardeur die hemele deur vuur sal vergaan en die elemente sal brand en versmelt. 

13. Maar ons verwag volgens Sy belofte nuwe hemele en 'n nuwe aarde waarin geregtigheid woon. 

14. Daarom geliefdes, terwyl julle hierdie dinge verwag, beywer julle dat julle vlekkeloos en onberispelik voor Hom bevind mag word in vrede. 

15. En ag die lankmoedigheid van onse Here as saligheid, soos ons geliefde broeder Paulus ook met die wysheid wat aan hom gegee is, aan julle geskryf het,

16. Net soos in al die briewe. Hy spreek daarin oor hierdie dinge, waarvan sommige swaar is om te verstaan, wat die ongeleerde en onvaste mense verdraai net soos die ander Skrifte, tot hulle eie verderf. 

17. Noudat julle dit dan vooruit weet geliefdes, moet julle op julle hoede wees dat julle nie miskien meegesleep word deur die dwaling van mense en wegval uit julle eie vastigheid nie. 

18. Maar julle moet toeneem in die genade en kennis van ons Here en Saligmaker, Jesus Christus. Aan Hom kom die heerlilheid toe, nou sowel as in die dag van die ewigheid. Amen. 

(God willing and by His marvellous grace and mercy, I will endeavour to share 'End Times' with you as often as I possibly can. / As dit die wil van God is en deur Sy wonderbare genade en barmhartigheid sal ek 'Eindtye' met u deel so dikwels as wat ek moontlik kan.)

THE DAY OF THE LORD / DIE WEDERKOMS VAN DIE HERE.

Tuesday 3 June 2014. 

WORD OF THE DAY:

[1 John 4:15,16]

15. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 

16. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God, and God in him. 

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

THE DAY OF THE LORD:

1. English - (New International Version)

[2 Peter 3:2-10]

2. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets, and the command given by our Lord and Saviour through your apostles. 

3. First of all you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 

4. They will say: "Where is this 'coming' He promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has, since the beginning of creation. 

5. But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's Word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 

6. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.

7. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men. 

8. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 

9. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 

10. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. The heavens will disappear  with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and anything on it, will be laid bare. 

Dinsdag 3 Junie 2014.

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[1 Johannes 4:15,16]

15. Elkeen wat bely dat Jesus die Seun van God is - God bly in hom, en hy in God. 

16. En ons het die liefde wat God tot ons het, leer ken en geglo. God is liefde; en hy wat in die liefde bly, bly in God, en God in hom. 

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:

DIE WEDERKOMS VAN DIE HERE:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[2 Petrus 3:2-10]

2. Sodat julle die woorde kan onthou wat deur die heilige profete voorheen gespreek is, en die gebod van ons, apostels van die Here en Verlosser. 

3. Dit moet julle veral weet, dat daar aan die einde van die dae spotters sal kom wat volgens hulle eie begeerlikhede sal wandel. 

4. En sê: "Waar is die belofte van Sy 'wederkoms'? Want vandat die vaders ontslaap het, bly alles soos dit was, van die begin van die skepping af."

5. Want moedswillig vergeet hulle dat daar van lankal af hemele was en 'n aarde wat uit water en deur water ontstaan het, deur die wil van God. 

6. Waardeur die toenmalige wêreld met water oorstroom is en vergaan het.    

7. Maar die teenswoordige hemele en die aarde is deur dieselfde woord as 'n skat weggelê, en word vir die vuur bewaar, teen die dag van die oordeel en die verderf van die goddelose mense. 

8. Maar laat hierdie een ding julle nie ontgaan nie geliefdes, dat een dag by die Here soos duisend jaar is, en 'n duisend jaar soos een dag. 

9. Die Here vertraag nie die belofte soos   sommige dit vertraging ag nie, maar Hy is lankmoedig oor ons en wil nie hê dat sommige moet vergaan nie, maar dat almal tot bekering moet kom. 

10. Maar die dag van die Here. kom soos 'n dief in die nag, waarin die hemele met 'n gedruis sal verbygaan en die elemente sal brand en vergaan, en die aarde en die werke wat daarop is, sal verbrand.  

(God willing and by His marvellous grace and mercy, I endeavour to share   'End Times' with you as often as possible. / As dit die wil van God is en deur Sy wonderbare genade en barmhartigheid, sal ek poog om die 'Eindtye' met u te deel so dikwels as wat ek moontlik kan.
