Summary
In zijn boek Between Pentecost and consummation schrijft Professor Tjaart van der Walt dat God “shall lead the universe into a new and endless age where everything and everybody will be perfect – and for ever with the Triune God” (Van der Walt, 2009:193). Van der Walt vertolkt met deze woorden de grote gedachte dat de geschiedenis van al het geschapene, dus inclusief van de mens uitloopt op een majestueuze climax. Maar een onvergelijkelijke harmonie zal de hele schepping doortrekken. Om de persoon aan wie deze bundel is opgedragen te eren en daarmee de waardering voor zijn arbeid als christen-wetenschapper tot uitdrukking te brengen, is voor een onderwerp gekozen, dat direct aansluit bij Professor Van der Walt’s visie op de eindtijd
