Johannes von Schoenebeck, a designer-in-progress on a never-ending journey through the world of design and arts, who studied in the medieval town of Regensburg and started off as a trained furniture maker later to enroll into university to study industrial design where he focused a lot on furniture and spatial design and wanted to widen up his creative horizon, so he just started studying at the RCA in London, facing with a task to express his reaction to a self-written manifesto in form of any work.
He writes
So I was thinking of it and found an old idea from long ago lingering in some dark corners in my mind. I was well able to connect it to the manifesto and I knew the idea would turn out well. Therefore I began to shape and design it, just like I am very comfortable to do. I designed a product from an old, already very developed idea. No real process, no proper conceptualising or even experimenting randomly. Just a design out of the hat.
Don’t get me wrong here, I think the project turned out pretty well. But what did I miss out?
In the first place I came here to think out of the/my box. To try out new ways or even go a for me complete uncomfortable path. That was just the first project of many to come and there is nothing wrong about doing stuff that you really enjoy. But I was left with the feeling that there could have been more than just staying within my profession.
Thinking of it, it seems natural to have operated within my already acquired skills. I wanted to settle in my new environment, show my abilities and finally a representable outcome.
So this is what I drew out of this project. Being aware of this is at least some value for me. Building on that I could develop personally further in future projects. {300 words of self-reflection}
And what would have to be developed? And how do we see development?
As we live in a very competitive society that always strives for the better, improvement in any form is seen as the ultimate goal for humanity. The system is described as unhealthy if it doesn’t grow constantly. Companies always need to make more profit than last year, life gets more and more expensive as a result of inflation, people have to earn more and more money along the way, today a shared flat is fine whereas in ten years I want to have my own house, 1000 years ago a person could only tell a few things their own, nowadays we as individuals have countless things in abundances.
Evolution is based on growth, stagnation is the enemy. {Manifest A Change}
…
Sometimes it is inevitable to be exposed to stress or external pressure. There are tasks to do and a schedule to keep up to. Dedicated to serve a greater cause that somehow develops something to give someone profit, even if it’s for yourself. Feeling comfortable means to not always push your boundaries and challenge your abilities. The comfort zone involves having time on your side as well as not being constantly evaluated for your actions. It includes not having to commit to something to generate process.
Letting things go and putting on a slower pace will create a pleasant atmosphere for yourself. {Manifest A Change}
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all thing, endures all things. Love never ends…” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you have emotional expectations, I can tell you I have limited means to fulfill them. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a life time. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you walk away, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will be your friend, I…
With pleasure we want to let you know that we have been busy with building a place where people want to share with each other. For more than 27 years Marcus Ampe tried to bring the idea of sharing into our capitalist society. In 1995 he got a computer and started writing on the internet under different pen names, to spout his ideas and to ventilate his criticism on our squandering society. In the 1990ies, with some political activists it was tried to get some ideas in the Belgian political and economical system (further presented by Roland Duchâtelet his political movementVivant), like a standard income for every adult citizen and to bring more awareness about ecological matters. On that part he continued in the lines of the “Kabouters” (the Gnomes), the political green-party of the 1960ies of which he was an active member in the late 1960ies early 1970ies, and which promoted already the idea of sharing goods with each other to lessen the waste of consumption goods [long before Agalev – founded in 1979 and transformed into Groen (Green) in 2003].
A famous and controversial 1971 election poster, reading “Disarming”, giving a good impression for what the movements of which Marcus Ampe was involved with stood for and why their actions in the conservative Roman Catholic country got them and Marcus Ampe so much in trouble.
Because of his ideas of people having to share with each other and helping each other to build a peaceful multicultural society in an ecological respected environment, Mr. Ampe, as a flower-power person or hippie, was many times attacked and considered to be a communist, though he always claimed to promote the ways of Christ and considering his expressing disagreement with the principles and particular outcomes of capitalism plus considering himself more as utopist or by some called Utopian socialist. Because of his non-violence attitude, e.g. on animal rights, some considered him as pacifist, a “politically homeless“, as progressive liberal (charismatic) Christian having contacts and friends with leftwing socialists, orthodox Marxists, anti-Stalinist Trotskyists, left communists, liberal pacifists and some anarchists, to be a weak and to naive stargazer to avoid. Mr. Ampe was clearly very much influenced by one of his favourite thinkers, Charles Fourier, and reformers as Robert Owen, going for utopiansocialism, even when he got so much adverse wind of socialists, drawing from early communist and socialist ideas.
Today he is still convinced that our current systems of monetary, social, ideological and border divisions are not working and endangering our species. Having come aware that too many of his ideals are perhaps not for this world he still keeps to many of his old ideals and hopes once there may come a new generation again prepared to oppose our war-machine and consumer society. He is still looking at mankind as people allowed (by the Most High Power) to live on this planet as attenders who have to come to show their mutual respect for each other and our planetary home.
For him it must not be that every single one of us, rich or poor, born into life-long slavery and bondage from which there would be no escape under the current system. There is still to do a lot of work to have more people come to see that we can liberate ourselves. Most of us may know that the system we are born into does not serve humanity, but very few of us know what to do to change it or are even willing to look for some change which brings more peace in the hearts of the people.
We can no longer sit idly, watching the destruction of our people, our communities, our countries, and our human potential, by greedy corporations supported by governments with no remorse for their actions, or accountability to the people they are supposed to serve. It should not be allowed that certain people earn 300% more than those who do the dirty job.
Along all sites there are certain groups and movements trying to bring fear and restriction of liberty, freedom of speech and freedom of religion. If we are not careful a lot fro what so many fought in the previous centuries will be lost again soon.
We can no longer sit silently, hoping that someone will do something to stop the assault on our liberties and future prosperity. It has fallen on the shoulders of the common people, to unite and create a new way … a new system … a future filled with abundance and prosperity for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. The individualist centralist ego has to be silenced.
We should go for creating a totally new system free from economic slavery … where we turn competition into collaboration … a new social structure where we all benefit from our collective efforts and individual talents … a new world where people are put before profits, and the resources & materials are used to enrich all our lives.
Every single one of us is born in the image of the Divine Creator with valuable and unique gifts and talents and should be happy that he or she can have such talents. Tat what we received for nothing we also should share with others and should use it for those who do not have such talents. When each individual uses his own talents to improve the lives of everyone around them, these gifts would not be wasted in mundane week-long positions of servitude making profits for those wealthier than ourselves.
Everything you see around you are things which came into being by people who used their hands and brains, and should all be articles created by people for people. Therefore it can not be that there are many who have so little.
The people are the gifts, the people are the power, the genius, the brilliance, and the vision that has created everything we see around us. Without the workers no factory can produce. So why should the society receive most of the gains, the bricks do not need the money.
We are told all the problems facing us are inevitable, that war, hunger and poverty are symptoms of the human condition and we need governments to protect us from ourselves. As many of us now realize, this is simply a lie to disempower us! All the decay, hunger, fear, and lack surrounding us are the direct results of the parasites profiteering off of us, which includes the governments we are told are there to serve us, but just do not come to protect and help the citizens of their country.
Mr. Ampe says.
In the meantime all over the world we could find like-minded figures willing to promote the sharing of knowledge and materials.
In 2014 Robert Chatwin (robito) founded Wake Up World Education (WUWE) trying to collaborate with the world’s biggest global movements for change to help bring solutions into everyone’s life. WUWE is contributing to this global movement for positive change by switching people on (or waking people up) to this solutions-focused reality so they feel energised, inspired and excited about the world we live in. They take Solutions Education into schools, workplaces, homes and communities, as well as providing a Free online course and offering the world’s biggest solutions to meet-up via their Weekly Circle.
The author of F-Day: The Second Dawn Of Man, a fictional account of humanity’s evolution into a society beyond money, and several video’s on YouTube, created a few years ago a Free World Charter, a social reform initiative that proposes 10 founding principles on which to grow an alternative moneyless society that is fair and sustainable, which Marcus Ampe also endorsed.
Colin Turner his work also includes the Freeworlder Free Sharing Network and HonorPay, a moneyless public awards system for expressing appreciation and gratitude. Many of the underlying concepts of his charter were originally inspired by Jacque Fresco’s Venus Project and Peter Joseph’s Zeitgeist film series – visionaries who, no doubt, would attribute their inspiration to many other historical influences too.
“Imagine the power of billions of acts of unconditional free-sharing and the positive effect that could have both on our society and the environment. Imagine how much more peaceful and abundant our world could be without the limitations and injustices of trade.”
Freeworlder: the world’s first truly free sharing network! No exchange. No credits. No barter. Just everyone sharing their excess items and skills!
Can you imagine the power of free, unconditional sharing, mulitplied by millions and billions of people? What kind of world would that be?
Can you imagine the problems we could solve if we didn’t need to trade in order to survive?
Can you imagine if the only thing that governed people’s behaviour was not the money they had nor the laws they obeyed, but rather the knowledge, respect and appreciation they had for each other and their environment?
This is why we built Freeworlder.com – to facilitate online what we all do every day – except to bring that trust outside our immediate circles, friends and family and around the world.
We are changing the world in baby steps. Today, we can share our small excess items, skills and knowledge easily. Soon we will build enough trust and confidence in the idea of unconditional sharing, that we can begin to truly re-organise our society for the mutual benefit of all.
“The Freeworlder Network” will go online this coming May. (We’ll let you know when the site is ready)
Welcome to the world’s first free-sharing network!
In Belgium and most parts of Europe the schools give a lot of attention to mathematics. Everything in the world seems to turn around ciphers. Not much space is given to emotions. Even at the age of two and a half, when kids enter school and you would think much of the basic social skills still have to be learned not so much time is invested to teach the children to live and work with each other.
Not only the “West” does not spend time into the spiritual welfare of its younger population. Software engineer, in an MNC in Gurgaon, India, Samir Mishra notices in his own country, which we associate with spiritual gurus:
It’s quite ironic that no education system teaches us how to use the tools of life when it’s life that turns out as the best teacher, mentor and guide for the rest of your life. {Subjects in Distress}
It looks like the world is gone far away from the basic skills a human being has to learn. All focus is placed on measurable things, matters of competitive skills and not of sharing issues. Our society does not give much attention any more on what we should consider the most essential valuable matters in the world of mammals. Perhaps man thought it should make itself totally different of animals, so would have to cut the behaviour education. In nature animals spend time at first to teach their young how they have to behave and what the order is in the way of life of their sort. They learn the basic skills to live in this world and to manage a good life.
Most people industrialised countries can say the same as Samir Mishra:
Even more ironic and rather sad is, none of the skills I learned in my school or college are helping me make my living. {Subjects in Distress}
Today we all may learn how to get the skills for a certain job to make money. In the fifties and sixties boys and girls in Belgium learned how to nit and sew. The children learned to work and to play together. Now not many play any more. Before and after school they are kept quiet in front of the television screen. Nobody learns needle work at school when he is a youngster. Most works for mother-day and father-day are mainly prepared by the teacher. The kids only bring the final touches, but they and the parents do believe they made it.
Nobody learns to give honour on the right person or to give respect to others.
Though:
Nothing helps except humanity and respect. Rest all are mere tools of survival against aliens, angry animals and foolish humans. {Subjects in Distress}
Lots of schools have become big institutions which manage to bring children in distress with ‘boredom’, filling up their brains with lots of words and ciphers which do not seem to contribute much to life-skills. Children feel this and therefore do not feel it is giving them the right thing, so they loose interest and get bored. They need to feel the direct link to their way of living, their own environment.

Lots of children like Tonkadella may have a great memory and can easily remember stories and names, but from their educational period, the many years they sat on the school benches, they cannot remember numbers, dates and years. Is it perhaps not because lots of things are not any more presented in a nice frame, a good story? Children would remember nice stories, those stories that touch them, stories with deeper emotional meaning, not political. Not wars, conflicts, revolutions and battles. Though a great deal of the children might like the ‘wargames’, because they look incredible fancy moments. But for others it is all just a violence and crime to them. People suffering and fighting all the time, lesson by lesson.
Strange to find people to become bored in history class,such an interesting subject?
I was getting tired and bored in history classes. I found my teacher uninspiring and that affected my learning. All I did in history classes was daydreaming, which helped me to escape the stress reality of humankind history. Sometimes I would just simply stare at those pictures shown by my teacher, thinking of those pretty clothes, hairstyles and jewellery people used to wear. Sometimes, I would just try very hard to stay awake. {The History I don’t Know}
In Belgium it looks like the government does not find it necessary to the inhabitants to know what happened. Not much time is sped to history and geography, just now when so many can travel around. all focus is on mathematics.
“They” always said, “Write it down,” but when it came to math, that was poor advice for me. It got so excruciating that in eleventh grade, when my very nice algebra teacher said, “We’re starting imaginary numbers next week,” I actually cried. He asked what was wrong and I said, “I can’t get the right answer with real ones. What will I be able to do with imaginary ones?” By then I’d developed such a complex over the whole “right answer” thing that I was blind. I thought the little ‘i’ in front of a number denoting it being imaginary was an upside-down-exclamation mark, you know, like for Spanish? (I didn’t realize it was an ‘i’ (eye) until about ten years ago when a bunch of my students explained it! I’d have felt chagrined, but some of them couldn’t do long division on paper. 😉 ) {Imagined Irrationality of Numbers}
What a nightmare! {The History I don’t Know}
The children from early age onwards got their heads stuffed full with ciphers. They are not allowed to dream, they even do not learn it any more. They also do not learn to read stories any more. No time is spend to go through the literary works of the past. By leaving the on the bookshelves not many get to master their own language or to play with words.
Today we only can find a few people who still can say:
I also read, in their entirety, every single book that was required reading for my A.P. English class. And it was in that small classroom, in the north wing of my high school, where I flourished, plodding my way through the likes of Steinbeck, Dickens and Bronte. It’s where I fell in love with Conrad and Flaubert; where I became enthralled with Homer and Tolstoy; where I learned I didn’t care for Hemingway or Bradbury; learned that I could adore Fitzgerald’s Gatsby and a few weeks later be bored stiff by his other works. And, it’s where I learned that I could write words to make people understand – to take them down the road I wished them to go. {If you learn one thing, learn to dream –}
But more than remember what I learned, or even wished I’d learned back then, sometimes I think about those past teachers – not all of them, but some. And I wonder about their lives now and then. What did they do when they weren’t at school? Did they have families? What were their hobbies? Did they like teaching? Were they happy? I wouldn’t have known any of those things back then … but I wonder, if I would have known, would I have thought differently about any of them? {If you learn one thing, learn to dream –}
Children learn about health, fitness, safety (Photo credit: CherryPoint)
It seems the world did not want to let the person behind the subject been seen. Probably if pupils could see the person behind the subject more, they would get more respect for them. They also would probably remember more those teachers who personally managed to contribute something to their own life. The best teachers are those who give that extra, the little stories, the issues not registered in the syllabus.
One things for sure, to this day there are a few that I will always pay homage to for installing in me the craving for knowledge – because it’s only with knowledge that one can dream of all that’s possible in this life … and for that, I am thankful. {If you learn one thing, learn to dream –}
Those teachers who brought that extra to their subjects should be the ones to be remembered. Hopefully next generations can find ways to bring back sunshine in the hearts of many.

De Nazareense Jood Jeshua, beter gekend als Jezus Christus, heeft zich altijd nederig opgesteld en duidelijk gemaakt dat hij niets kon doen zonder zijn hemelse Vader wiens Wil hij wenste te doen. Door de werken die Jezus deed moest duidelijk te zien zijn wie hij was, de zoon van God, en door wat hij zei moest het duidelijk zijn hoe wij in hem moeten geloven en hem moeten volgen om dichter bij zijn hemelse Vader, de enige Ware God, te komen.
De oplossing die God voorzag was iemand die bewees dat een mens volledig Gods Wil kan doen en ook bereid kan zijn om zich in te zetten voor andere schepselen. De gezonden zoon van God, Jezus is diegene waarin wij het volle vertrouwen moeten hebben dat zijn dood door God aanvaard is als losprijs om ons vrij te kopen van de vloek van zonde.
Er zijn de roep van God en de roep van Jezus die mensen uit de duisternis willen halen en licht brengen op alle gebied, maar ieder persoon moet zelf met de eigen keuze bepalen of hij of zij naar dat licht wil toegaan.
Bible prophecies do not deal only with the ancient past. They also accurately foretell events that are taking place in our day. But at the moment we focus at numerous prophecies preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament) which long before the man was born told about events which would happen in his time and around him, his betrayal, humiliation, torture, execution, death, and burial. From those writings of the Old and New Testament nobody should have doubts who that man is who is called Immanuel, the son of man and Messiah, born out of the root of Jess in the tribe of king David.
In Scripture, all things are directed towards a man who was a servant of servants, in whom people should come to have faith. First we saw the connection with Eve and her seed, and in this article you may see the connection with Abraham.
Already in the Old Testament we find the focus on a son of man who is called the son of God, who shall be the most pure set apart (holy) servant of God who was been told about in the Garden of Eden, to be the one bruised.
Many Old Testament writers wrote about the prophet to come, about whom is spoke in the book of Moses and who shall be the special “Seed of a woman” given by God and who will bruise Satan’s head whilst his heel would be bruised with nails on the wooden stake.
Jewish and Christian literature since the time of Yeshua or Jeshua have pointed to Genesis 3:15 as the first reference to the Messiah in the Torah. Genesis 3:15 NHEBJE I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his […]

In the question of what happens when we die and where all the dead are, one can also turn to the Biblical figures who died in the past. We can then find out what happened to them and what else is written about them. Regarding the state of the dead, our magazine in the 20th […]
Voortbordurend op de gestelde vraag waar de doden zouden kunnen zijn, kijken we verder naar enkele antwoorden die in 1909 in een van de tijdschriften voor Bijbelstudenten werden gegeven De geesten in de gevangenis “19 Zo ging hij ook heen en predikte tot de geesten in de gevangenis; 20 welke eens ongehoorzaam waren, toen eenmaal […]
Continuing on the posed question of where the dead people might be, we continue to look at some answers given in one of the Biblestudents magazines in 1909 The Spirits in Prison “19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of […]
De zielen onder het altaar In Openbaring 6:9-11 wordt gezegd dat de zielen van de martelaren “onder het altaar” roepen, “Hoe lang, o Heer, heilig en waarachtig, oordeelt en wreekt Gij ons bloed niet over hen die op de aarde wonen?” Sommigen hebben dit zo opgevat dat de martelaren een bewust bestaan hadden tussen hun […]
The Souls Under the Altar In Revelation 6:9-11 the souls of martyrs “under the altar” are said to cry, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” Some have taken this to mean that the martyrs were enjoying a conscious existence […]
First of all to come to a good relationship with some one, one has to talk with that person and has to listen to what that person has to tell. God talks to the people by the way of His Word, presented to mankind by the many Bible translations, so that most people can read […]
The One Who created everything and Who gave His Word, did all He did with a purpose and out of love. The Bible teaches us that “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Everything God does is motivated by love. Out of love created man in His image also with the intention to have a good relationship […]
In the previous writings we saw that the Divine Creator gave His Word to the world so that people could come to know Him. The Bible is a gift from God. It gives us information that we can’t find anywhere else. For example, it tells us that God created the heavens, the earth, and the […]
All our life we must strive for more and more perfection and prepare our way to come in front of our Most High Elohim. Let His Word be the best Guidebook we’ll use every day.
Several of our people may be afraid to come outside and to come to speak about the Elohim Hashem Jehovah. Nothing should stop us to tell others about our great love the Most High Elohim. We must make God’s Voice resound over mountains and valleys and give it all glory and honour.
Analysis of Torah without Hitbodedut/relationship is idolatry. Our brains need to be surrendered to Hashem. He should be guiding our brains. The Torah is to be used as His voice speaking to us, a way to know Him more, not as object to be analysed, disected, picked appart by self effort, which is the yetzer […]
A maize dish for dessert from the wide plains of the Romanian countryside or from Transilvania, a cake reminiscent of childhood and of holidays spent in the countryside.
A country girl at heart who grew up in the “Messianic” movement and in the Pentecostal movement, but only really starting walking out God’s truth about Shabbat and the Feasts for herself about five years ago looks at our Shavuot tradition to celebrate by eating dairy filled foods and foods with honey. This corresponding to […]
Jayson Casper has presents his view about Israel on his blog and looks at certain Messianic Jews and wonders how evangelicals should identify with the issues Israel faces. Jamie Cowen, an Israeli lawyer and a believer in Jesus says: “going through Messianic Jews is best.” This brings Casper to think the complexity of Israel divides […]

It is a well-known fact that there are not many Jews who have accepted that the Nazarene master-teacher Jeshua is the promised Messiah. Although the Messianic Jewish movement may not have been huge or well known until the 60s, there has been a faithful remnant keeping the torch lit from the time of Yeshua’s apostles […]

Meer dan een jaar zijn wij beperkt geworden in onze mogelijkheden en vrije beleving met anderen. Nu er versoepelingen aan komen mogen wij niet over het hoofd zien wat ons in die penarie heeft gebracht en hoe wij dit voor de toekomst moeten vermijden.
Zij die onder Gods Adem gezegend kunnen worden horen er naar te leven en handelen en die Adem van God uit te dragen. De liefde voor de waarheid noodzaakt ons de liefde van de Elohim aan anderen kenbaar te maken.
Elke mens krijgt in zijn leven een ogenblik waar hij keuzes zal moeten maken die zijn verdere leven zullen bepalen. Ieder menselijk wezen zal ook al of niet Gods Adem kunnen voelen en zal daarnaar moeten reageren. Hoe wil jij op Gods Ademtocht reageren?
Wij zien dat na dat een zoon aan Seth toekwam er werd aangevat met het aanbidden van de Bore als El ʿElyon (Allerhoogste God) met het gebruik van Zijn apart geplaatste Naam Jehovah.

Let’s start with a look at Psalm 82, the psalm that the Nazarene master teacher Jeshua (Ishi – Isa – Issou – Jesus) quotes in John 10:34. “1 (82:2) حتى متى تقضون جورا وترفعون وجوه الاشرار.سلاه . 2 (82:3) اقضوا للذليل ولليتيم.انصفوا المسكين والبائس .” (مز 82:1-2 Arabic) “1 <A Psalm. Of Asaph.> God is […]
Laten we beginnen met een blik op Psalm 82, de psalm die de Nazareense leermeester Jeshua (Ishi – Isa – Issou – Jesus – Jezus) citeert in Johannes 10:34. “1 (82:2) حتى متى تقضون جورا وترفعون وجوه الاشرار.سلاه . 2 (82:3) اقضوا للذليل ولليتيم.انصفوا المسكين والبائس .” (مز 82:1-2 Arabic) “1 Een lied van Asaf.

In the Holy Scriptures about creation, we are told that it is a Compassionate, Merciful, Kind, Exalted Creator who is beyond all gods, Who makes everything possible or causes, by His Breath and Word.
In de Heilige Geschriften omtrent de schepping krijgen wij te horen dat het om een Barmhartige, Genadevolle, Wellievende, Verheven Schepper gaat die boven alle goden uittornt en alles veroorzaakt door Zijn Adem en Woord.
Everything that we see around us is because Allah allows it to be. Allah had a Plan and wants it to become fulfilled and foresaw a certain time for it to be accomplished. Man may think he can control the world and most surely most of the people are deniers of the meeting of their Highest […]

When we scroll onto the net about Jesus and God we often encounter lots of name-Christians who use verses to reply to others with questions about the divinity of Jesus which not at all say that Jesus is God, but they either do not understand what those verses are saying. Or they deliberately bring a […]
At the beginning of our contemporary age a son of man was hailed, by some triumphantly praised as a king entering Jerusalem, by others regarded as a dangerous person undermining their power. About 2 000 years later it are still religious leaders who do not want people to come to know that Nazarene man or to accept him as the son of God and future King of this world.
Jesus told his disciples that he will return only once and that when he does, after a time of great tribulation, it will be visible to everyone and be followed by immediate and dire consequences for those unprepared and for those who were adversaries of God.
The disciples expected that Christ would “come” as King, with a royal presence, and to remove the Romans and thrown down the corrupt temple, all at the same time and soon! It was a disappointment for them it turned not out that way, but they came to understand we could have an even much better future because of what Jesus had done. Though they also became convinced of the necessity to be prepared for the time that Jesus would return and that each believer could add by his effort of preaching, to bring the time closer.
Ek het ‘n prentjie, sê ek vir hom. Ek kan nie onthou wanneer ek dit die eerste keer gesien het nie. Ek klim die berg (never-ending) en dit duur my hele lewe lank. Uiteindelik (ek het nooit verwag dit sal in my leeftyd gebeur nie), kom ek bo-op die berg. Daar wag ‘n baie ou, […]
