Hoe belangrik is dit?

Die koninkryk van God word ongeveer ‘n honderd keer in die vier Evangelies genoem.
Dit was die onderwerp van die aankondiging van Jesus se geboorte (Lukas 1:32).
Dit was die tema van Jesus se prediking.
Dit is die eerste versoek in die Onse Vader-gebed (“u koninkryk kom”)
Dit is ‘n primêre opdrag van Jesus: “Soek allereers die koninkryk van God.”
Dit was die onderwerp van die 40 dae van post-opstanding lering van Jesus (Handelinge 1:3).
Dit was die onderwerp van die finale vraag wat Jesus se dissipels voor sy hemelvaart gevra het.
Dit was die onderwerp van die prediking van die apostels (Handelinge 28:31).

MISIDENTIFICATION must be one of the most common problems plaguing the understanding of Scripture. In some cases, that misidentification is profoundly serious. For that reason, this writing is an effort to draw up an identity check list. This is given below in alphabetic order, and only for identities involved with prophetic interpretations.

Die Afrikaner se plek in die Volketuin van God

Faith & Testimonies

From: R10.00

Die 16de Desember is ‘n spesiale dag vir die Afrikaner volk. Dit herdenk die dag wat hierdie nasie ‘n verbond met God gesluit het. Hul leier, Piet Retief, en sy metgeselle is in 1838 op ‘n verraderlike wyse deur Dingaan, die Zulu koning, vermoor. Voortrekker groepe is onmiddellik daarna aangeval en afgemaai. Die hele nasie het in gebed getree. ‘n Groep van ongeveer 460 vrywilligers het toe onder leiding van Andries Pretorius inbeweeg om Dingaan se leër van ver oor die 10,000 impi’s te konfronteer. Hierdie manne het voorlaaiers gehad, nie moderne gewere nie, en dit het teen hulle getel. Hulle was egter manne van God met ‘n diepe geloof, en weens die geweldige oormag wat teen hulle was, het hierdie klein groepie mense ‘n gelofte aan God afgelê dat as God vir hulle ‘n oorwinning in dié oorlog sou gee, hulle as Afrikaner volk vir God sou dien en vir Hom ‘n huis ter herinnering sou bou.

Hul volkome oorwinning by Bloed Rivier – sonder ‘n enkele verlies aan hulle kant – was een van die grootste wonderwerke in militêre geskiedenis.

Conflicting Kingdoms Book 1 – Two cities

From: R10.00

In the Scriptures, much time is devoted to the birth, character, and final destiny of these two cities – one diametrically opposed to the other. These cities are JERUSALEM and BABYLON. They are mentioned 1 097 times in the Scriptures (Jerusalem 811 times and Babylon 286 times). The one is YHWH’s city, which He loves, and the other is Satan’s city, which he exploits in an attempt to overthrow everything which is GOOD.

Koninkryke in konflik Boek 1 – Twee stede

From: R10.00

In die Skrif word baie tyd aan die geboorte, karakter en finale bestemming van hierdie twee stede toegewy – die een lynreg in teenstelling met die ander. Hierdie stede is JERUSALEM en BABILON. Hulle word 1 097 keer in die Skrif genoem (Jerusalem 811 keer en Babilon 286 keer). Die een is YHWH se stad wat Hy liefhet, en die ander is Satan se stad wat hy uitbuit in ‘n poging om alles wat GOED is, omver te gooi.

Aangesien hierdie stede byna van die begin van die Bybelse tyd ‘n belangrike rol in wêreldsake speel, en in persoonlike, nasionale en internasionale konflik voorkom, betaam dit ons om van naderby te kyk wat die Skrif oor hulle sê. Hulle het op een of ander manier ‘n betekenisvolle impak op elke aspek van ons lewens, of ons dit wil erken of nie.

Conflicting Kingdoms – Book 2 – Kingdom seed

From: R10.00

In 1Chronicles 12:32 we read about certain sons of Issachar who were “men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do”. These men came to assist David to become king. Saul, the king, was dead.

A season had passed and a new season was upon them. These men had an insight into the seasons of YHWH, and this insight assisted them to make good decisions for the betterment of the nation as a whole.

Gen 8:22 “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”

YHWH created seasons. Seasons are patterns which repeat themselves unerringly. Season follows season with predictable repetition, just like day follows night, and summer follows winter.

‘n Seisoen is verby en ‘n nuwe seisoen het aangebrek. Hierdie manne het insig gehad in YHWH se seisoene en hierdie insig het hulle gehelp om goeie besluite te maak vir die verbetering van die volk as ‘n geheel.

Gen 8:22 “Van nou af sal al die dae van die aarde, saaityd en oestyd, koue en hitte, somer en winter, dag en nag nie ophou nie.”

YHWH het seisoene geskape. Seisoene is patrone wat hulself onfeilbaar herhaal. Seisoen volg met voorspelbare herhaling op seisoen net soos wat die dag die nag volg, en somer, die winter.

There is an onslaught against marriages and families as possibly seldom experienced in history. The kingdom of darkness would dearly like to destroy this precious, God-given design of a happy relationship between a husband and his wife and children. I think there are few things in the world as precious as an orderly, peaceful, happy, godly family.

Die koninkryk van duisternis wil bittergraag hierdie Godgegewe ontwerp van ‘n gelukkige verhouding tussen ‘n man, sy vrou en hulle kinders vernietig.

Conflicting Kingdoms – Book 4 – Error of Balaam

From: R10.00

Failures, whether personal or otherwise, must be one of the most discouraging experiences one can face in life. There is an underlying spiritual conflict that must be understood if we are to effectively combat the painful memory of past failures.

Failure and its accompanying lying accusations is a sinister weapon which the enemy uses against us to our destruction. To learn how to gain victory over the onslaught of the enemy in this area, it is important that we lay a solid foundation of truth. We find these building blocks of truth carefully laid out in the Old Testament history of Israel. Jesus and all the apostles affirm these powerful principles by regularly quoting and highlighting these nuggets of truth from the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms.

Mislukkings, hetsy persoonlik of ander, is seker een van die mees ontmoedigende ervarings wat ‘n mens kan beleef. Daar is ‘n onderliggende geestelike konflik wat mens moet verstaan as jy die pynlike herinneringe van vorige mislukkings effektief wil bekamp en dié leuenagtige aantuigings wat daarmee gepaard gaan, is ‘n onheilspellende wapen wat die vyand teen ons gebruik om ons te probeer vernietig.

As ‘n mens wil leer hoe om oorwinning oor die aanslag van die vyand op hierdie gebied te verkry, is dit belangrik dat ons ‘n stewige fondasie van waarheid lê. Hierdie boustene van waarheid is sorgvuldig in die Ou Testamentiese geskiedenis van Israel uitgelê. Jesus en al die apostels bevestig hierdie kragtige beginsels deur hierdie stukkies waarheid gereeld uit die Wet, die Profete en die Psalms aan te haal en uit te lig.

Conflicting Kingdoms – Book 5 – Unlikely Messenger

From: R10.00

Together with the theme of restoration, YHWH’s dealings with the nation of Israel are by far the largest subject of the Bible as far as volume of references are concerned. As such, it must obviously play an important role in YHWH’s plans and purposes for this world and the end times in which we live. The nation of Israel plays such a prominent part in these prophecies that it would be impossible to understand the prophecies if we were to exclude Israel from the picture. It is therefore vital that we ask some pertinent questions, and search honestly to find answers to those questions.

Koninkryke in Konflik – Boek 5 – Onwaarskynlike Boodskapper

From: R10.00

Daar is honderde Bybelprofesieë oor Abraham en Jakob/Israel. Die doel van hierdie boek is nie om enige spesifieke volk of groep mense bo ander te verhef nie. Die doel is eerder om die planne en doeleindes van YHWH God te ontdek soos wat dit deur ‘n oorvloed profetiese verklarings in beide die Ou en Nuwe Testamente openbaar word.

Tesame met die tema van herstel, is YHWH se handelinge met die volk van Israel by verre die grootste onderwerp van die Bybel ten opsigte van die volume van verwysings daarna. Dit is dus duidelik dat dit ‘n belangrike rol in YHWH se planne en doeleindes vir hierdie wêreld speel – veral vir die eindtyd waarin ons leef.

Conflicting Kingdoms – Book 6 – A Scarlet thread

Our Lord Jesus gave stern warnings against false teachings. Here are some of them:

Mat 7:15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

Mat 24:11 “Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.”

The Apostle Paul also gave similar warnings:

2Cor 11:13 “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.”

The Apostles Peter and John also gave similar warnings:

Ons Here Jesus het ernstig gewaarsku teen valse leer. Hier is ‘n paar van sy waarskuwings:

Matt 7:15 “Maar pas op vir die valse profete wat in skaapsklere na julle kom en van binne roofsugtige wolwe is.”

Die Apostel Paulus gee ook soortgelyke waarskuwings:

2Kor 11:13 “Want sulke mense is valse apostels, bedrieglike arbeiders wat hulleself verander in apostels van Christus.”

2Thes 2:11 “En daarom sal God hulle die krag van die dwaling stuur, om die leuen te glo,”

Soos ons deur hierdie studie werk, sal ons sien hoe gereeld die vyand misleiding gebruik om YHWH se ewige reddingsplan en herstel van sy wonderlike skepping, asook die volk wat Hy uitverkies het om sy boodskapper van daardie herstel te wees, te vernietig. Mag die Here ons oë oopmaak om WAARHEID te sien en te verstaan, en deur dit te verstaan, om met selfversekering op daardie pragtige smal pad te wandel, ons oë vas op Jesus gerig, die Leidsman en Voleinder van ons geloof.

Mag WAARHEID uiteindelik seëvier.

Kingdoms Book 8 – The first resurrection and coming kingdom

Conflicting Kingdoms Book 8 – First resurrection

From: R10.00

The leaders of the Reformation of the 16th to 18th centuries were unified in their fervent teaching declaring the Pope to be the Antichrist. As a result of the teaching of the Reformers, millions of people who were being brought to Christ, left the false Roman Catholic system. In an effort to bring these people back into their church, the Roman Pontiff instructed a Jesuit priest, Francisco Ribera, to undermine the prevailing Reform teaching by means of a false counter-teaching. This doctrine would present the Antichrist as a singular infidel who would make his appearance in the future after a so-called rapture, and who would rule the world once Jesus had come to take His saints away into heaven. This doctrine would effectively remove the accusing Protestant finger from the false Roman Papal system. This Jesuit teaching published in 1591, formed the foundation of the doctrine we now know as the futurist interpretation of Bible prophecy.

Before we look at the beautiful promises related to the first resurrection, we need to understand the heart of the teaching about the return of Jesus back to earth as King, the victorious event which will precipitate the first resurrection.

Koninkryke in Konflik – Boek 8 – Eerste Opstanding

From: R10.00

Voordat ons kyk na die pragtige beloftes wat verband hou met die eerste opstanding, moet ons die hart van die lering oor die wederkoms van Jesus as Koning verstaan. Volgens die Skrif volg die eerste opstanding op Jesus se wederkoms. Hierdie waarheid ontbloot die valse leringe wat in die Romeinse leer gewortel is. Hul futuristiese lering het soveel verwarring onder gelowiges veroorsaak dat baie selfs weier om die onderwerp te bespreek. Tog vorm dit ‘n groot deel van ons toekomshoop. Weereens sien ons die teenstrydige koninkryk van duisternis, besig om verwarring onder die gelowiges te saai. Die doel is om ons weerstand af te breek deur veral ons Christelike hoop te ondermyn. Die Skrif leer ons duidelik dat sonder hoop daar geen geloof kan wees nie. Geloof is gebaseer op hoop. Dit is dus noodsaaklik dat ons hoop stewig gegrond is op die waarheid van die Woord.

Kingdoms Book 9 – The restoration of all things

Conflicting Kingdoms – Book 9 – Restoration of all things

From: R10.00

The restoration of ALL things is surely the dream or hope of all believers. No more violence or sickness or suffering or pain. No more lying and cheating. No more fear. No more sin. No more death. It is a dream of Utopia. It almost seems as if that is impossible and will never be a reality.

However, this is exactly what the Bible teaches that is awaiting those who put their trust in Jesus. I don’t think it will be possible to fully comprehend the magnitude of this “dream”. Yet it is our motivation for enduring whatever suffering we might experience.

The Scriptures have much to say about the restoration of all things. Some key passages are those which quote Elijah’s ministry of restoration: Here is a quotation from Jesus, quoted out of the Old Testament book of Malachi

Mat 17:11 “And He answered and said, ‘Elijah is coming and will restore all things …’”

Die herstel van ALLE dinge is sekerlik die droom of hoop van alle gelowiges. Geen geweld of siekte of lyding of pyn meer nie. Nie meer lieg en bedrieg nie. Geen vrees meer nie. Geen sonde meer nie. Geen dood meer nie. Dit is ‘n droom van Utopia. Dit lyk amper asof dit onmoontlik is en nooit ‘n werklikheid sal wees nie.

Die Bybel leer ons dat vir die wat hul vertroue op Jesus stel, hierdie volmaakte toekoms wag.Ek dink nie dit sal moontlik wees om die omvang van hierdie “droom” ten volle te begryp nie. Tog motiveer hierdie toekoms verwagting ons om enige lyding wat ons ook al mag ervaar, te verduur.

Ek bid dat hierdie studie jou sal inspireer soos geen ander nie, aangesien jou hoop as gelowige op die vaste rots van YHWH se kosbare Woord gebou is.

END TIMES – Historical background and foundational truths

Believers are generally confused about end-times teachings. Many Christian leaders hardly broach the subject in their preaching, except for a vague mention that we are in the ‘end times’, or ‘Jesus is coming soon’.

Prophetic Bible teaching is not guesswork. Neither is it a collection of weird impossible-to-understand predictions of future events, given by fanatical people. To the contrary, these Scriptures have much more to do with warning wayward people of the folly of their ways, and guiding them towards truth.

Bible prophecy gives believers courage, based on a sure hope. Jesus reigns supreme through all of history – past, present and future. Though there are warnings of difficult times to come, there are far more teachings about restoration and the advance of God’s kingdom.

This book examines approximately one thousand seven hundred passages of Scripture. Their end time message is positive and uplifting. Believers are encouraged and given practical instruction for a life of victory in spite of difficult times. It deals with the historical background of the end times teaching as well as a summary of solid Biblical truths, laying a good foundation for hope, and helping to clear some of the general confusion that exists on the subject.

Koninkryke Boek 10 – Die tweede opstanding en ewige oordeel

Koninkryke in Konflik – Boek 10 – Tweede Opstanding en Ewige Oordeel

From: R10.00

As inleiding herhaal ek ‘n gedeelte van die laaste deel van Boek 9 omdat dit as inleiding dien vir hierdie boek, Boek 10. In Boek 9 – Die herstel van alle dinge, het ons Christus se duisendjaar-heerskappy op die aarde behandel. Die tydperk is verseker een duisend jaar soos wat die volgende Skrif aandui. Tydens hierdie duisend jaar-tydperk sal die duiwel en sy demoniese magte, volgens die Skrif, toegesluit wees en sal daarom die aarde se bewoners nie meer kan versoek nie. Die opstand aan die einde van die duisend jaar sal dus die harte van die mense wat teen YHWH en sy volk in opstand kom, openbaar. Die volgende Skrifgedeelte hanteer hierdie onderwerp:

Open 20:3 “… daarna moet hy [die duiwel] dan ‘n kort tydjie ontbind word.”

20:5 “En die ander dode het nie herlewe totdat die duisend jaar voleindig was nie …”

Oor een ding kan ons seker wees, dat daar vir dié wat tot sterwe kom, geen meer kans is om te verander of hulle te bekeer nie. Die Skrif sê:

Heb 9:27 “En net soos die mense bestem is om eenmaal te sterwe en daarna die oordeel.”
