Iemand skryf aan my en vertel my dat mense met hulle oor die 7 jaar gepraat het, wat êrens in die toekoms gaan plaasvind. Waarin daar verskriklike dinge op aarde gaan gebeur en dat hulle nou bang is vir die toekoms wat daardie dinge aanbetref. Die persoon wil toe by my hoor of ek 'n verduideliking oor daardie 7 jaar het.
Ek plaas net hier onder iets wat ek van die internet af gekry het, omdat dit 'n goeie, in elk geval beter verduideliking is, as wat ek kan gee.
Van my kant af wil ek net sê, dat almal wat Jesus aangeneem het as Verlosser en Saligmaker nie bekommerd oor die toekoms of dan die eindtyd hoef te wees nie. Inteendeel, as ek so na die wêreld om my kyk, is daar in my 'n groot opgewondenheid. Want, en as ek dit stel soos ek dit nou gaan stel, is dit omdat ek dit eerstens vir daardie kinders van Jesus sê wat, uit onkunde vrees oor wat vir hulle wag, wanner die verdrukking/groot verdrukking aanbreek.
Wanneer die "pawpaw" die "fan slaan," gaan jy en ek nie meer hier wees nie. Dan het Jesus ons al lankal kom haal. Dit is nou ons wat by Jesus se koms nog in hierdie lewe is, omdat daar vir ons geen veroordeling of straf is nie.
1KOR 15:51 Kyk, ek deel julle 'n verborgenheid mee: Ons sal wel nie almal ontslaap nie, maar ons sal almal verander word,
1KOR 15:52 in 'n oomblik, in 'n oogwink, …
Want daar is geen veroordeling vir Jesus se volgelinge nie.
Rom 8:1 Daar is dan nou geen veroordeling vir die wat in Christus Jesus is nie, vir die wat nie na die vlees wandel nie, maar na die Gees.
Natuurlik kan dieselfde nie gesê word van mense wat Jesus nie wou aanneem nie.
JHN 3:16 Want so lief het God die wêreld gehad, dat Hy sy eniggebore Seun gegee het, sodat elkeen wat in Hom glo, nie verlore mag gaan nie, maar die ewige lewe kan hê.
JHN 3:17 Want God het sy Seun in die wêreld gestuur nie om die wêreld te veroordeel nie, maar dat die wêreld deur Hom gered kan word.
JHN 3:18 Hy wat in Hom glo, word nie veroordeel nie; maar hy wat nie glo nie, is alreeds veroordeel omdat hy nie geglo het in die Naam van die eniggebore Seun van God nie.
Natuurlik gaan ons almal voor die regterstoel van ons Here verskyn.
Rom 14:10 … Want ons sal almal voor die regterstoel van Christus gestel word.
Rom 14:11 Want daar is geskrywe: So waaragtig as Ek leef, sê die Here, voor My sal elke knie buig, en elke tong sal God bely.
Ons sal daar wees, nie om veroordeel te word nie maar om beoordeel te word.
1KOR 3:11 Want niemand kan 'n ander fondament lê as wat daar gelê is nie, dit is Jesus Christus.
1KOR 3:12 En as iemand op dié fondament bou goud, silwer, kosbare stene, hout, hooi, stoppels—
1KOR 3:13 elkeen se werk sal aan die lig kom, want die dag sal dit aanwys, omdat dit deur vuur openbaar gemaak word; en die vuur sal elkeen se werk op die proef stel, hoedanig dit is.
1KOR 3:14 As iemand se werk bly staan wat hy daarop gebou het, sal hy loon ontvang;
1KOR 3:15 as iemand se werk verbrand word, sal hy skade ly; alhoewel hy self gered sal word, maar soos deur vuur heen.
Hoe heerlik om daaraan te dink.
Toe jy vanoggend wakker geword het, was dit nog een slapie minder voordat jy en ek by Jesus gaan wees.
The tribulation is a future seven-year period of time when God will finish His discipline of Israel and finalize His judgment of the unbelieving world. The church, made up of all who have trusted in the person and work of the Lord Jesus to save them from being punished for sin, will not be present during the tribulation. The church will be removed from the earth in an event known as the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-53). The church is saved from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 5:9). Throughout Scripture, the tribulation is referred to by other names such as the Day of the Lord (Isaiah 2:12; 13:6-9; Joel 1:15; 2:1-31; 3:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:2); trouble or tribulation (Deuteronomy 4:30; Zephaniah 1:1); the great tribulation, which refers to the more intense second half of the seven-year period (Matthew 24:21); time or day of trouble (Daniel 12:1; Zephaniah 1:15); time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).
An understanding of Daniel 9:24-27 is necessary in order to understand the purpose and time of the tribulation. This passage speaks of 70 weeks that have been declared against "your people." Daniel's people are the Jews, the nation of Israel, and Daniel 9:24 speaks of a period of time that God has given "to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy." God declares that "seventy sevens" will fulfill all these things. This is 70 sevens of years, or 490 years. (Some translations refer to 70 weeks of years.) This is confirmed by another part of this passage in Daniel. In verses 25 and 26, Daniel is told that the Messiah will be cut off after "seven sevens and sixty-two sevens" (69 total), beginning with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. In other words, 69 sevens of years (483 years) after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, the Messiah will be cut off. Biblical historians confirm that 483 years passed from the time of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the time when Jesus was crucified. Most Christian scholars, regardless of their view of eschatology (future things/events), have the above understanding of Daniel's 70 sevens.
With 483 years having passed from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the cutting off of the Messiah, this leaves one seven-year period to be fulfilled in terms of Daniel 9:24: "to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy." This final seven-year period is known as the tribulation period—it is a time when God finishes judging Israel for its sin.
Daniel 9:27 gives a few highlights of the seven-year tribulation period: "He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." The person of whom this verse speaks is the person Jesus calls the "abomination that causes desolation" (Matthew 24:15) and is called "the beast" in Revelation 13. Daniel 9:27 says that the beast will make a covenant for seven years, but in the middle of this week (3 1/2 years into the tribulation), he will break the covenant, putting a stop to sacrifice. Revelation 13 explains that the beast will place an image of himself in the temple and require the world to worship him. Revelation 13:5 says that this will go on for 42 months, which is 3 1/2 years. Since Daniel 9:27 says that this will happen in the middle of the week, and Revelation 13:5 says that the beast will do this for a period of 42 months, it is easy to see that the total length of time is 84 months or seven years. Also see Daniel 7:25, where the "time, times, and half a time" (time=1 year; times=2 years; half a time=1/2 year; total of 3 1/2 years) also refers to "great tribulation," the last half of the seven-year tribulation period when the beast will be in power.
For further references about the tribulation, see Revelation 11:2-3, which speaks of 1260 days and 42 months, and Daniel 12:11-12, which speaks of 1290 days and 1335 days. These days have a reference to the midpoint of the tribulation. The additional days in Daniel 12 may include the time at the end for the judgment of the nations (Matthew 25:31-46) and time for the setting up of Christ's millennial kingdom (Revelation 20:4-6).
