Die klimaks van ‘n ewigheid m.b.t. die geskiedenis wat Verlossing betref, word in Johannes se beskrywing van die nuwe Jerusalem in Openbaring 21 – 22 as ‘n voorskouing uitgebeeld.
Die nuwe Jerusalem is die fokus vir aktiwiteit op die nuwe aarde. Die nuwe Jerusalem is ‘n uitbreiding van die nuwe hemele en nuwe aarde wat in Openbaring 21:1 bekendgestel is.
The eternal climax of redemptive history is previewed in John’s description of the new Jerusalem in Revelation 21-22. The new Jerusalem is the focus for activity on thenewearth. The new Jerusalem motif provides an elaboration of the nature of the new heavens and new earth introduced in Revelation 21:1.
The name “Jerusalem” occurs 806 times in the Bible, 660 times in the Old Testament and 146 times in the New Testament; additional references to the city occur as synonyms. Jerusalem was established as a Canaanite city by the Chalcolithic period (ca. 4000-3100 b.C.), occupying the southeast hill that currently bears the name “City of David.”
Die naam “Jerusalem” kom 806 keer in die Bybel voor, 660 keer in die Ou Testament en 146 keer in die Nuwe Testament; bykomende verwysings na die stad kom as sinonieme voor. Jerusalem was alreeds gevestig as ‘n Kanaänitiese stad teen die tyd van die Chalkolitiese tydperk (ongeveer 4000 – 3100 v.C.) en het die suidoostelike heuwel beset wat tans die naam van die “Stad van Dawid” dra.
These are probably the most important questions in Scripture. The enemy has been busy for millennia to hide this important knowledge from the covenant people of the Most High. However, in the last several decades, the Spirit of YaHUaH has also been busy restoring His Name.
Hoewel mense dit sien as name (meervoud) is dit eintlik net een Naam, want die Seun het gekom in die Naam van Sy Vader (Joh. 5:43). Ons sal dus in hierdie skrywe wat grootliks ‘n uittreksel is uit ‘n skrywe van Johann Möller, afsonderlik na die beide die Naam van die Vader en Seun kyk vir dieper insig.
Chuck Missler from Koinonia House gave valuable information on Halloween in 2 videos which are underneath. The information posted with the videos reads as follows …
“The celebration of the pagan festival of Halloween is now a multi-billion dollar merchandiser’s market. Fifty percent of Americans will decorate for Halloween (compared to over 80% for Christmas). It is now the third most popular party activity, after the Superbowl and New Year’s Eve.
This is always a difficult time for Christians, especially those with children. It is also a dangerous time for some, since many of the seemingly “harmless” involvements associated with Halloween can also be “entries” for the occult, and can prove very tragic for the unwary.
There is only one true God (Isa 44:6, 8: 46:9). Thus, only one true religion. Scripture declares “all gods of the nations are idols” (Ps 96:5).
All false religion and idolatry is by definition involved in demon worship – whether or not the participants recognize it (Acts 26:18). Hence Paul’s concern. The spiritual power and reality behind idols involves demons (I Cor 10:20, Ps 106:37).
The Bible tells us to shun occultic practices. This series will help you understand the Pagan background to the modern Halloween traditions practiced today.”

Gen. 1:14 says that the lights in the firmament of heaven must serve as “signs” (ototh) for “appointed times” (moedim). These signs are also called the Zodiac (which is “mazzaroth” in Hebrew). It is an imaginary belt about 20 degrees wide in the sky along which the sun, moon and planets seem to move.
The starry sky rotates from east to west around a fixed pole every day. Just as the sun sets in the same place every day, so the stars return to the same place in the sky every year. It is intended as YaHUaH’s Evangelical Plan in heaven for everyone to “read” long before there were books, but as we also know, astrology made their own distorted interpretation of it.
Gen. 1:14 sê dat die ligte in die uitspansel van die hemel moet dien as “tekens” (ototh) vir “vasgestelde tye” (moedim). Diè tekens word ook die Sodiak of Diereriem genoem. Dit is ‘n sowat 20 grade breë, denkbeeldige gordel aan die hemelruim waarlangs die son, die maan en planete oënskynlik beweeg.
Die sterrehemel draai elke dag van oos na wes om ’n vaste pool. Nes die son elke dag op dieselfde plek sit, so keer die sterre elke jaar terug na dieselfde plek aan die hemelruim. Dit is bedoel as JaHUaH se Evangeliese Plan in die hemelruim vir elkeen om te “lees” nog lank voordat daar boeke was, maar soos ons ook weet het astrologie hulle eie verwronge vertolking daarvan gemaak.
