Dit is n voorreg wat min op aarde nog gehad het.Jesus se dissipels,Peter,James and John het die voorreg gehad toe hulle saam met Jesus was waar Hy gebid het toe hull op die berg was waar Hy gewoonlik gebid het.

Lk 9:29 As He was praying, the appearance of His face changed and His clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning

Lk 9:30 Two men, Moses and Elijah

Lk9:31 appeared in glorius splendor talking with Jesus. They spoke about His departure, which He was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.

Lk 9:32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy.

Lk9:33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to Him, ” Master it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters –one for You, one for Moses and one for Elijah (He did not know what he was saying)

Lk9:34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud Lk9:35 A Voice came from the cloud, saying, “ This is My Son, Whom I have chosen; listen to Him .” Lk 9:36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone . The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen

Lk 10:23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately,” Blessed are the eyes that see what you see

Lk10:24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it , and to hear what you hear but did not hear it”

Acts 7:55 But Stephan , full of the Holy Spirit looked up to heaven and saw the Glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God

Acts 7:56 ‘ Look ', he said, “ I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God

Paulus het gese 1Cor9:1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord ? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?

Gal 1:11 I want you to know brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin .

Gal 1:12 I did not receive it from any human source, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ

2Cor12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in body I do not know –God knows.

2Cor12:3 And I know that this man – whether in the body or apart from the body, but God knows - 2Cor12:4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell .

2Cor12:8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.

Eph6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests . With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people

Col1:8 and who also told us of your love in the Spirit

Johannes was en is die bevoorregte om in gebed te kon wees en soos hy se ‘ On the Lord's day I was in the Spirit , and…. “

Ons moet onthou dat God besluit wat Hy wil doen Ac10:40 but God raised Him from the dead on the third day and caused Him to be seen.

Ac10:41 He was not seen by all the people but by witnesses whom God has already chosen -by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead . Dit is dus God se wil en keuse dat Johannes die ervaring sou he.

Rev 1:10 On the Lord's day I was in the Spirit , and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet

Rev4.1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."

Rev4:2 At once I was in the Spirit , and there before me was a throne in heaven with Someone sitting on it

Rev 4:3 And the One who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne

Rev17.3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

Rev21:10 And He carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God

Rev1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

Rev1:18 I am the Living One ; I was dead, and now look , I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

Rev1:19 "Write, therefore, what you have seen: both what is now and what will take place later.

Om in Gees weggevoer te word is wanneer die aardse bewustheid afgesluit/uitgesluit word en jy vir n tydjie in die Geestelike wereld , ons toekomstige wereld toegelaat word.Jy het die ervarings wat die geestelike liggaam ervaar , liefde , gevoelens, gevoel, sit , staan ens . Dit is moeilik vir die beperkte menslike verstand om jou dit in te dink , maar soos Johannes dit beskryf het is dit die wonderlikste om na uit te sien , maar ook te vrees as jy op die verkeerde pad is. Omdat mense “ being In The Spirit ‘ nie ken nie maak hulle die vat soos wat gedoen word met die “Rapture “ benadering. Wat hulle as n sogenaamde ‘Rapture ‘ sien Rev4:1is doodeenvoudig die wonderlike ervaring van being In The Spirit.

En die skrif in 1Thes4.17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Gaan eenvoudig wees dat ons Spirit/gees die liggaam net gaan verlaat –SONDER DAT DIE LIGGAAM HOEF TE STERF!!! Die liggaag het klaar sy doel gedien en dit is om die gees vir n tydperk op aarde te huisves.Net n verdure punt om duidelikheid op bogenoemde skrif te gee. Die verduideliking het daar in daardie tyd gegaan oor die vraag oor die ouens wat reeds dood is teenoor die wat nog lewe , wie wanneer Jesus gaan sien. Gaan die ouens wat dood is Hom eerste sien of die ouens wat nog in die lewe is. Tipies mens , karring altyd !

“Being In The Spirit” watter wonderlike voorreg om n geleenheid te he om die ewige te ervaar terwyl in die liggaam.
