Prayers of Jesus
Luke 18:1 And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Pray and never give up.
God will answer, it may take some time but He will answer.
God want to see some measure of faith.
Go to God in prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.

Gebede van Jesus
LUKAS 18:1 En Hy het vir hulle ‘n gelykenis hiertoe vertel dat die mense altyd moet bid en nie moedeloos word nie;
2 en gesê: Daar was in ‘n stad ‘n regter wat God nie gevrees het nie en geen mens gesien het nie.
3 En daar was ‘n weduwee in daardie stad; en sy het na hom gekom en gesê: Wreek my op my teëstander.
4 En hy wou ‘n tyd lank nie, maar daarna het hy by homself gesê: Al vrees ek God nie en ag ek geen mens nie;
5 Maar omdat hierdie weduwee my pla, sal ek haar wreek, sodat sy my nie vermoei deur haar voortdurende koms nie.
6 En die Here het gesê: Hoor wat die onregverdige regter sê.
7 En sal God nie sy eie uitverkorenes, wat dag en nag tot Hom roep, wreek, al verdra Hy hulle lank nie?
8 Ek sê vir julle dat Hy hulle gou sal wreek. Maar wanneer die Seun van die mens kom, sal Hy geloof op die aarde vind?
Bid en moet nooit moed opgee nie.
God sal antwoord, dit kan ‘n rukkie neem maar Hy sal antwoord.
God wil ‘n mate van geloof sien.
Gaan na God in gebed in die Naam van Jesus Christus.
Bible Teaching of the Day
Concentrate on the Cross – Part 14
On the cross, Jesus took the punishment we deserved for our sin. He did not deserve to die, but He willingly took our place and experienced death for us. Jesus’ death was a substitution, “the righteous for the unrighteous” (1 Peter 3:18), the innocent for the guilty, the perfect for the corrupt.
The doctrine of the substitutionary atonement teaches that Christ suffered vicariously, being substituted for the sinner, and that His sufferings were expiatory (that is, His sufferings made amends). On the cross, Jesus took our place in several ways:
Jesus took our place in that He was made sin for us. “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21, NASB). As Jesus was hanging on the cross, suspended between earth and heaven, the sins of the world were placed on Him (1 Peter 2:24). The perfect Son of Man carried our guilt.
Jesus took our place in that He experienced physical death—not just any death, but the death of a lawbreaker. Everyone dies, but there is a difference between dying a “natural” death and being executed for one’s crimes. Sin is the violation of God’s law (1 John 3:4), and “the soul who sins shall die” (Ezekiel 18:4, ESV). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve death (Romans 3:23; 6:23). Jesus releases us from that penalty. Although He had committed no crime (see Luke 23:15), Jesus was executed as a criminal; in fact, it is because He was sinless that His death avails to us. He had no personal sin to pay for, so His death pays for ours. Our legal debt has been paid in full—tetelestai (John 19:30). As the old gospel song says, “He paid a debt He did not owe; I owed a debt I could not pay.”
So, Jesus took our place judicially, bearing the penalty of sin and dying in our place. “When you were dead in your sins . . . , God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross” (Colossians 2:13–14). In other words, God nailed all the accusations against us to the cross. God will never see believers in Christ as deserving the death penalty because our crimes have already been punished in the physical body of Jesus (see Romans 8:1).
God’s Law says, “You are guilty of sin against a holy God. Justice demands your life.” Jesus answers, “Take My life instead.” The fact that Jesus took our place shows God’s great love: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13).
But the penalty for sin extends beyond physical death to include a spiritual separation from God. Again, in this matter, Jesus took our place. Part of Christ’s agony on the cross was a feeling of separation from the Father. After three hours of supernatural darkness in the land, Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34). Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf, we need never experience that sense of abandonment (Hebrews 13:5). We can never fathom, at least in this life, how much God the Son suffered in taking our place.
We know Jesus’ suffering was intense. In the days leading up to the crucifixion, Jesus expressed distress about what was coming (John 12:27). But those who tried to dissuade Him from going to the cross were sharply rebuked—the offer to avoid the ordeal was a temptation from Satan himself (Matthew 16:21–23), and Jesus had not come to take the easy way out. On the night of His arrest, Jesus was “overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (Matthew 26:38). Even with having an angel to strengthen Him, Jesus actually sweated blood (Luke 22:43–44).
In order for us to be saved, Jesus had to take our place and die for sin. He had to lay down His life as a sacrifice, because “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22). His sacrifice was perfect in holiness, in worth, and in power to save. After His resurrection, Jesus showed His scars to the apostles (John 20:26–27). As long as our salvation lasts (forever), the marks of our Savior’s suffering will be visible (Revelation 5:6)—an eternal reminder that He took our place.
“Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering. . . .
He was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed. . . .
The Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all”
(Isaiah 53:4–6).
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Konsentreer op die Kruis – Deel 14
Aan die kruis het Jesus die straf geneem wat ons verdien het vir ons sonde. Hy het nie verdien om te sterf nie, maar Hy het gewillig ons plek ingeneem en die dood vir ons beleef. Jesus se dood was ‘n plaasvervanger, “die regverdiges vir die onregverdiges” (1 Petrus 3:18), die onskuldiges vir die skuldiges, die volmaakte vir die korruptes.
Die leerstelling van die plaasvervangende versoening leer dat Christus plaasvervangend gely het, deur die sondaar vervang te word, en dat Sy lyding versoenend was (dit wil sê, Sy lyding het reggemaak). Aan die kruis het Jesus ons plek op verskeie maniere ingeneem:
Jesus het ons plek ingeneem deurdat Hy sonde vir ons gemaak is. “Hy het Hom wat geen sonde geken het nie, sonde vir ons gemaak, sodat ons die geregtigheid van God in Hom kan word” (2 Korintiërs 5:21). Terwyl Jesus aan die kruis gehang het, gesuspendeer tussen aarde en hemel, is die sondes van die wêreld op Hom geplaas (1 Petrus 2:24). Die volmaakte Seun van die mens het ons skuld gedra.
Jesus het ons plek ingeneem deurdat Hy fisiese dood ervaar het – nie sommer enige dood nie, maar die dood van ‘n wetsverbreker. Almal sterf, maar daar is ‘n verskil tussen om ‘n “natuurlike” dood te sterf en om vir ‘n mens se misdade tereggestel te word. Sonde is die oortreding van God se wet (1 Johannes 3:4), en “die siel wat sondig, sal sterwe” (Esegiël 18:4, ESV). Aangesien ons almal gesondig het, verdien ons almal die dood (Romeine 3:23; 6:23). Jesus maak ons vry van daardie straf. Alhoewel Hy geen misdaad gepleeg het nie (sien Lukas 23:15), is Jesus as ‘n misdadiger tereggestel; trouens, dit is omdat Hy sondeloos was dat Sy dood ons baat. Hy het geen persoonlike sonde gehad om voor te betaal nie, so Sy dood betaal vir ons s’n. Ons wettige skuld is ten volle betaal—tetelestai (Johannes 19:30). Soos die ou evangelielied sê: “Hy het ‘n skuld betaal wat hy nie geskuld het nie; ek het ‘n skuld geskuld wat ek nie kon betaal nie.”
So, Jesus het ons plek geregtelik ingeneem en die straf van sonde gedra en in ons plek gesterf. “Toe julle dood was in julle sondes . . . . . . het God julle saam met Christus lewend gemaak. Hy het ons al ons sondes vergewe, nadat Hy die aanklag van ons wettige skuld wat teen ons gestaan en ons veroordeel het, gekanselleer het; Hy het dit weggeneem en aan die kruis vasgespyker” (Kolossense 2:13–14). Met ander woorde, God het al die beskuldigings teen ons aan die kruis vasgespyker. God sal nooit sien dat gelowiges in Christus die doodstraf verdien nie, want ons misdade is reeds in die fisiese liggaam van Jesus gestraf (sien Romeine 8:1).
God se Wet sê: “Jy is skuldig aan sonde teen ‘n heilige God. Geregtigheid eis jou lewe.” Jesus antwoord: “Neem eerder My lewe.” Die feit dat Jesus ons plek ingeneem het, toon God se groot liefde: “Groter liefde het niemand as dit nie: om sy lewe vir sy vriende af te lê” (Joh. 15:13).
Maar die straf vir sonde strek verder as fisiese dood om ‘n geestelike skeiding van God in te sluit. Weereens, in hierdie saak het Jesus ons plek ingeneem. Deel van Christus se lyding aan die kruis was ‘n gevoel van skeiding van die Vader. Na drie ure van bonatuurlike duisternis in die land, het Jesus uitgeroep: “My God, my God, waarom het U My verlaat?” (Markus 15:34). As gevolg van Jesus se opoffering namens ons, hoef ons nooit daardie gevoel van verlating te ervaar nie (Hebreërs 13:5). Ons kan nooit, ten minste in hierdie lewe, peil hoeveel God die Seun gely het deur ons plek in te neem nie.
Ons weet Jesus se lyding was intens. In die dae voor die kruisiging het Jesus benoudheid uitgespreek oor wat gaan kom (Johannes 12:27). Maar diegene wat probeer het om Hom te weerhou om na die kruis te gaan, is skerp bestraf – die aanbod om die beproewing te vermy was ‘n versoeking van Satan self (Matteus 16:21–23), en Jesus het nie gekom om die maklike uitweg te neem nie. Op die nag van Sy inhegtenisneming was Jesus “oorweldig met droefheid tot die dood toe” (Matteus 26:38). Selfs met ‘n engel om Hom te versterk, het Jesus eintlik bloed gesweet (Luk. 22:43–44).
Om vir ons gered te word, moes Jesus ons plek inneem en vir sonde sterf. Hy moes sy lewe as ‘n offer aflê, want “sonder bloedvergieting is daar geen vergifnis nie” (Hebreërs 9:22). Sy offer was volmaak in heiligheid, in waarde en in krag om te red. Ná sy opstanding het Jesus sy letsels aan die apostels gewys (Johannes 20:26–27). Solank as wat ons verlossing duur (vir ewig), sal die tekens van ons Verlosser se lyding sigbaar wees (Openbaring 5:6) – ‘n ewige herinnering dat Hy ons plek ingeneem het.
“Hy het sekerlik ons pyn opgeneem
en ons lyding gedra het. . . .
Hy is vir ons oortredinge deurboor,
oor ons ongeregtighede is hy verbrysel;
die straf wat vir ons vrede gebring het, was op hom,
en deur sy wonde is daar vir ons genesing. . . .
Die Here het hom opgelê
die ongeregtigheid van ons almal”
(Jesaja 53:4–6).
Today’s Devotional
NO GREATER LOVE?
This morning I wanted to tell you about the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I wanted to tell you about His back being torn open with a whip, His hands and feet being pierced with nails, His head being torn open with thorns, and His side being pierced with a spear. I wanted to tell you about blood dripping, blood flowing, and blood sinking into the sand.
But instead I want to tell you about His love. When Jesus said in John 15:13; “Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,” He was not referring to any person’s love, but to His love, the greatest love ever known and ever revealed.
Because of His love, Jesus, while we were still helpless and in sin, died a gruesome death on Calvary. (See Romans 5:6) It was love that led Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to lay down His life for His sheep. (John 10:11)
It was not the nails that held Jesus to the cross. It was His love for mortals like you and me that kept Him there. It was not the tomb that held Him captive for three days, but it was His love for you and me.
It is because of His love and blood that we can receive salvation. (Ephesians 1:7) It is because of His love, because of His suffering and His death, that we can receive life and life in abundance. (John 10:10)
Let us not forget His love for us. Let us not forget the cross on which He died, but let us hold on to Him and allow His love to not only save us, but also to be revealed in us and through us.
“Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Vandag se Bemoediging
GEEN GROTER LIEFDE NIE?
Vanoggend wou ek jou vertel van die kruisiging van ons Here en Verlosser, Jesus Christus. Ek wou vertel van Sy rug wat met ‘n sweep oopgekloof is, Sy hande en voete wat met spykers deurboor is, Sy kop wat deur dorings oopgeskeur is en Sy sy wat met ‘n spies deurboor is. Ek wou jou vertel van bloed wat drup, bloed wat vloei en bloed wat wegsink in die sand.
Maar in plaas daarvan wil ek jou vertel van Sy liefde. Toe Jesus in Johannes 15:13 gesê het; “Groter liefde het niemand as dit nie, dat iemand sy lewe vir sy vriende gee” het Hy het nie na enige persoon se liefde verwys nie, maar na Sy liefde, die grootste liefde ooit bekend en ooit geopenbaar.
As gevolg van Sy liefde het Jesus , toe ons nog hulpeloos en in sonde was, ‘n grusame dood op Golgota gesterf. (Sien Romeine 5:6) Dit was liefde wat daartoe gelei het dat Jesus, die goeie herder, Sy lewe vir Sy skape afgelê het. (Johannes 10:11)
Dit was nie die spykers wat Jesus aan die kruis vasgehou het nie. Dit was Sy liefde vir sterflinge soos ek en jy wat Hom daar gehou het. Dit was nie die graf wat Hom vir drie dae gevange gehou het nie, maar dit was Sy liefde vir jou en my.
Dit is as gevolg van Sy liefde en bloed, dat ons verlossing kan ontvang. (Efesiërs 1:7) Dit is as gevolg van sy liefde, weens Sy lyding en Sy dood, dat ons lewe en lewe in oorvloed kan ontvang. (Johannes 10:10)
Laat ons nie Sy liefde vir ons vergeet nie. Laat ons nie die kruis vergeet waarop Hy gesterf het nie, maar laat ons aan Hom vashou en toelaat dat Sy liefde ons nie net red nie, maar ook in ons en deur ons geopenbaar word.
“Groter liefde het niemand as dit nie, dat iemand sy lewe vir sy vriende gee.”

Bible Prophecy in the News
End Time Q and A
The mark of the beast will it be before or after the rapture?
The Bible is Clear that the Mark of the Beast will be Before the Rapture . The Mark of the Beast is Implemented 3 and half years before the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ and the Rapture . Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
End Time Q and A
What role will South Africa play in the end times?
South Africa is not DIRECTLY Mentioned in Bible Prophecy ! But the Group we are Part of is Mentioned in the Bible and SA Troops may be part of this war against Israel . 70 % of the BRICS Nations is currently in Battle in Syria , BRICS stands for Brazil , Russia , India , China and South Africa with Newest Members Iran , Turkey and Lebanon . The War = Gog and Magog Ezek 38 and 39 . We just have to find out if SA will be forced to send troops to Syria to assist Russia (Gog) and Iran (Magog) in the War against Israel soon
End Time Q and A
What Happens in the Millennium Reign?
The Bible Speaks of 1000 Years after Jesus Christ Returned at His 2nd Coming taken care of the Rapture and Led the Battle of Armageddon. After this the Earth is left Destroyed and The satan and His demons is bound on Earth for a 1000 Years . Jesus and his Angel army will return to Heaven where all Raptured Children of God awaits Him , Their in Heaven they Reign as Kings and Queens until the 1000 Years is over . All from Heaven then descends with the Golden City to Earth to take care of the White Throne Judgement .
Before this all the dead on Earth shall arise , ready for the Great White Throne Judgement to take place .
End Time Q and A
What Should We Tell Others About the Great Tribulation?
The Great Tribulation is the Period that follows after the Jewish Messiah turns to be The Antichrist , Walks into the Newly Build 3rd Jewish Temple and Stop the Daily Sacrifices saying he is God himself . The Jews then stand against Him and He banish them from the Temple and End the 7 Year Peace Agreement , The Antichrist then take control of the Temple and make it the Head office of the 666 Mark of the Beast . He then Implements the Mark of the Beast .
The Time Period for the Great Tribulation is 3 and half years or 42 Months or 1290 days . In this Time period so much have to happen .
1. 144 000 Jews living in Old Judea / New Palestine have to flee for their lives .
2. The Antichrist start making all his followers with the Mark of the Beast in their Right Hand , and start to force Jews and Christians to take the 666 mark in their foreheads . This lasts for 1 Year or 12 months or 365 days.
3. Then God seals all Christians left over with the seal of God and the 144 000 that fled to The wilderness.
4. Then the 5th Trumpet sounds , being a Super Volcano that erupts to mark the Beginning of the Wrath of God against the bearers of the Mark of the Beast . This lasts 2 and a Half Years as the 7 Plaques of Gods Wrath is poured out over the Earth.
5. the 144 000 Jews and the Christians marked with the seal of God goes into Angel Protection , during the Wrath of God , but still on the Earth.
6. Then after the 6th Plaque , Jesus arrives in His 2nd Coming , the Rapture takes place and then Finally the Battle of Armageddon.
What do we Tell People to do During the Great Tribulation?
NOT TO take the Mark of the Beast. God promised a Great Revival and Pouring out of the Holy Spirit just before these events. and with all Christians newly Filled and Baptized with the Holy Spirit . The Holy Spirit will Lead them from the Antichrist and his armies. Tell them then to Listen to the Voice of the Holy Spirit , very Important . and when they are captured and forced to take the mark of the Beast . NOT TO take the Mark of the Beast. For the Great Tribulation is only called that because everything God is in Control of is Called GREAT .
End Time Q and A
Where will the Two Witnesses Come From?
The Bible does not say where the two witnesses are from. They will die & they will die in the streets of Jerusalem and the scriptures are very clear about that in Revelation 11. After the 3rd Jewish Temple is build , These Two Witnesses will stand at the Entrance and Prophecy ! The Bible says that they will be killed and they will be left laying in the streets for 3 and a half days in order to dishonor and make fun of them to vent the anger the antichrist and the entire world against them. So we don’t know where they’re from, but I’m sure that they can be from anywhere.
Signs of the Times in the News
I don’t think an Israeli Prime Minister was ever invited to the White House so quickly before. So what is going on??? It’s actually unbelievably historic!!! Most people today still think they’re watching a local war. They see Gaza, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran etc. and think: *’Ah, it’s just another Middle East war with the Sunni/Shia world trying to destroy Israel. It’ll pass.’ They could not be more wrong. What’s unfolding right now is nothing less than a global war for the future of the free world — and Israel is at the center of it all.
Attacks on Christians in Israel Are Rising, but a Closer Look Shows a Different Story
A report was recently released documenting harassment and violence directed at Christian communities in Israel and East Jerusalem throughout 2024. Tragically, the survey reported 111 documented cases of harassment.

Introduction to the Bible – Bible Summary
Summary of the Book of Joshua
Author: The Book of Joshua does not explicitly name its author. More than likely Joshua the son of Nun, the successor of Moses as leader over Israel, penned much of this book.
The latter part of the book was written by at least one other person after the death of
Joshua. It is also possible that several sections were edited / compiled following Joshua’s death. Full article: Who wrote the book of Joshua? Who was the author of Joshua?
Date of Writing: The Book of Joshua was likely written between 1400 and 1370 B.C.
Purpose of Writing: The Book of Joshua provides an overview of the military
campaigns to conquer the land area that God had promised. Following the exodus from Egypt and the subsequent forty years of the wilderness wanderings, the newly-formed nation is now poised to enter the Promised Land, conquer the inhabitants, and occupy the territory. The overview that we have here gives abbreviated and selective details of many of the battles and the manner in which the land was not only conquered, but how it was divided into tribal areas.
Key Verses:
Joshua 1:6-9, “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 24:14-15, “Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away
the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the
LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
Brief Summary: The Book of Joshua continues the story of the Israelites after the
exodus from Egypt. The book chronicles the approximately 20 years of Joshua’s
leadership of the people after Moses anointed him at the end of Deuteronomy. The
twenty-four chapter divisions of the Book of Joshua can be summarized as follows:
Chapters 1-12: Entering and conquering the Promised Land.
Chapters 13-22: Instructions for distributing the portions of the Promised Land.
Chapters 23-24: Joshua’s farewell address
Foreshadowings: The story of Rahab the harlot and her great faith in the God of the
Israelites gives her a place with those honored for their faith in Hebrews 11:31. Hers is a story of God’s grace to sinners and salvation by faith alone. Most importantly, by God’s grace she was in the Messianic line (Matthew 1:5).
One of the ceremonial rituals of Joshua 5 finds its perfect fulfillment in the New
Testament. Verses 1-9 describe God’s commandment that those who were born in the
wilderness were to be circumcised when they came into the Promised Land. By so doing,
God “rolled away the reproach of Egypt” from them, meaning that He cleansed them
from the sins of their former life. Colossians 2:10-12 describes believers as having been circumcised in their hearts by Christ Himself, by whom we have put off the sinful nature of our former lives without Christ.
God established cities of refuge so that those who accidentally killed someone could live there without fear of retribution. Christ is our refuge to whom we “have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us” (Hebrews 6:18).
The Book of Joshua has an overriding theological theme of rest. The Israelites, after
wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, finally entered the rest God had prepared for
them in the land of Canaan. The writer of Hebrews uses this incident as a warning to us not to let unbelief keep us from entering into God’s rest in Christ (Hebrews 3:7-12).
Practical Application: One of the key verses of the Book of Joshua is 1:8 “Do not let
this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you
may be careful to do everything written in it.” The Old Testament is replete with stories
of how the people “forgot” God and His Word and suffered terrible consequences. For
the Christian, the Word of God is our lifeblood. If we neglect it, our lives will suffer
accordingly. But if we take to heart the principle of verse 1:8, we will be complete and
able to be of use in God’s kingdom (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and we will find that God’s
promises in Joshua 1:8-9 will be ours as well.
Joshua is a prime example of the benefits of a worthy mentor. For years he remained
close to Moses. He watched Moses as he followed God in an almost flawless manner. He learned to pray in a personal way from Moses. He learned how to obey through the
example of Moses. Joshua apparently also learned from the negative example that cost Moses the joy of actually entering the Promised Land. If you are alive, you are a mentor.
Someone, somewhere, is watching you. Some younger person or someone that you are influencing is seeing how you live and how you react. Someone is learning from you.
Someone will follow your example. Mentoring is far more than the words that are
spoken by the mentor. His or her entire life is on display

Opsomming van die boek Josua
Skrywer: Die Boek Josua noem nie die skrywer daarvan uitdruklik nie. Meer as
waarskynlik het Josua, die seun van Nun, die opvolger van Moses as leier oor Israel, baie van hierdie boek geskryf. Die laaste deel van die boek is geskryf deur ten minste een ander persoon na die dood van Josua. Dit is ook moontlik dat verskeie afdelings na Joshua se dood geredigeer / saamgestel is. Volledige artikel: Wie het die boek Josua geskryf? Wie was die skrywer van Josua?
Datum van Skrywe: Die Boek Joshua is waarskynlik tussen 1400 en 1370 vC geskryf.
Doel van Skrywe: Die Boek Joshua verskaf ‘n oorsig van die militêre veldtogte om die
landgebied wat God belowe het, te verower. Na die uittog uit Egipte en die
daaropvolgende veertig jaar van die woestynomswerwinge, is die nuutgevormde nasie
nou gereed om die Beloofde Land binne te gaan, die inwoners te verower en die gebied te beset. Die oorsig wat ons hier het, gee verkorte en selektiewe besonderhede van baie van die veldslae en die wyse waarop die land nie net verower is nie, maar hoe dit in stamgebiede verdeel is.
Sleutelverse:
Josua 1:6-9 , “Wees sterk en vol moed, want jy sal hierdie volk lei om die land te beërwe wat Ek aan hulle voorvaders met ‘n eed beloof het om aan hulle te gee. Wees sterk en baie moedig. Wees versigtig om die hele wet te gehoorsaam, my kneg Moses het jou gegee; draai nie daarvan af na regs of na links nie, sodat jy suksesvol kan wees waar jy ook al gaan. Moenie dat hierdie wetboek dag en nag daaroor wyk nie Wees versigtig om alles te doen wat daarin staan .”
Josua 24:14-15 “Vrees nou die HERE en dien Hom met alle getrouheid. Gooi die gode
weg wat julle voorvaders aanbid het oorkant die Rivier en in Egipte, en dien die HERE.
Maar as dit vir julle ongewens is om die HERE te dien, kies dan vir julleself vandag wie
julle sal dien, of die gode wat julle voorvaders gedien het oorkant die Rivier, of die gode van die Amoriete in wie se land julle woon, maar my en my huisgesin, ons sal die HERE dien.
Kort opsomming: Die boek Josua sit die verhaal van die Israeliete na die uittog uit
Egipte voort. Die boek vertel die ongeveer 20 jaar van Josua se leierskap van die volk
nadat Moses hom aan die einde van Deuteronomium gesalf het. Die vier-en-twintig
hoofstukindelings van die Boek Josua kan soos volg opgesom word:
Hoofstukke 1-12: Die beloofde land binnegaan en verower.Hoofstukke 13-22: Instruksies vir die verspreiding van die gedeeltes van die Beloofde Land.Hoofstukke 23-24: Josua s’n afskeidstoespraak
Voorspellings: Die verhaal van Ragab die hoer en haar groot geloof in die God van die Israeliete gee haar ‘n plek by diegene wat geëer is vir hul geloof in Hebreërs 11:31 . Haar verhaal is ‘n verhaal van God se genade aan sondaars en redding deur geloof alleen. Die belangrikste is dat sy deur God se genade in die Messiaanse lyn was ( Matteus 1:5 ).
Een van die seremoniële rituele van Josua 5 vind sy volmaakte vervulling in die Nuwe
Testament. Verse 1-9 beskryf God se gebod dat diegene wat in die woestyn gebore is,
besny moes word wanneer hulle in die Beloofde Land kom. Deur dit te doen, het God
“die smaad van Egipte” van hulle weggerol, wat beteken dat Hy hulle van die sondes van hul vorige lewe gereinig het. Kolossense 2:10-12 beskryf gelowiges dat hulle in hulle harte besny is deur Christus self, deur wie ons die sondige natuur van ons vorige lewens sonder Christus afgelê het.
God het toevlugstede gestig sodat diegene wat per ongeluk iemand doodgemaak het,
daar kon woon sonder vrees vir vergelding. Christus is ons toevlug na wie ons “gevlug
het om die hoop aan te gryp wat aan ons gebied word” ( Hebreërs 6:18 ).
Die Boek Josua het ‘n oorheersende teologiese tema van rus. Die Israeliete het, nadat
hulle 40 jaar lank in die woestyn rondgedwaal het, uiteindelik die rus wat God vir hulle
voorberei het in die land Kanaän binnegegaan. Die skrywer van Hebreërs gebruik hierdie insident as ‘n waarskuwing aan ons om nie toe te laat dat ongeloof ons daarvan
weerhou om in God se rus in Christus in te gaan nie ( Hebreërs 3:7-12 ).
Praktiese Toepassing: Een van die sleutelverse van die Boek Josua is 1:8 “Laat hierdie Wetboek nie uit jou mond wyk nie; oordink dit dag en nag, sodat jy versigtig kan wees om alles te doen wat daarin geskrywe is.” Die Ou Testament is propvol stories van hoe die mense God en Sy Woord “vergeet” het en verskriklike gevolge gely het. Vir die Christen is die Woord van God ons lewensbloed. As ons dit verwaarloos, sal ons lewens daarvolgens ly. Maar as ons die beginsel van vers 1:8 ter harte neem, sal ons volledig en in staat wees om van nut te wees in God se koninkryk ( 2 Timoteus 3:16-17 ), en ons sal vind dat God se beloftes in Josua 1:8- 9 sal ook ons s’n wees.
Joshua is ‘n uitstekende voorbeeld van die voordele van ‘n waardige mentor. Vir jare het hy naby Moses gebly. Hy het Moses dopgehou terwyl hy God op ‘n byna foutlose
manier gevolg het. Hy het by Moses geleer om op ‘n persoonlike manier te bid. Hy het
geleer hoe om te gehoorsaam deur die voorbeeld van Moses. Josua het blykbaar ook
geleer uit die negatiewe voorbeeld wat Moses die vreugde gekos het om werklik die
Beloofde Land binne te gaan. As jy lewe, is jy ‘n mentor. Iemand, iewers, hou jou dop.
Een of ander jonger persoon of iemand wat jy beïnvloed, sien hoe jy leef en hoe jy
reageer. Iemand leer by jou. Iemand sal jou voorbeeld volg. Mentorskap is veel meer as die woorde wat deur die mentor gespreek word. Sy of haar hele lewe word uitgestal.
