Revelation Chapter 18
Brother Shallieu’s thoughts on Verse 8
“Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.”
Immediately there comes to attention a listing in the reverse...
Revelation Chapter 18
VERSE 7 “In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’”
TO THE DEGREE THAT SHE GLORIFIED HERSELF AND LIVED...
Revelation Chapter 18
VERSE 5 “For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.”
FOR HER SINS HAVE PILED UP (Literally = JOINED TOGETHER) AS HIGH AS HEAVEN: The thought seems to be that heaven (God) can no longer overlook the accumulation of sins. They are past...
Is an understanding of the philosophy of the ransom essential to justification?
Answer
Justification is the name for that standing in the sight of God in which He can accept us and deal with us no longer as sinners but as perfect human sons. This relationship or standing has been accounted to...
Revelation Chapter 18
VERSE 4 “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
AND I HEARD: The first three verses totally summarized the condemnation of Babylon. The picture was complete. John now...
Revelation Chapter 18
PART II (Verses 4 – 20)
An Introduction to Part Two —
Part II deals with how the “fall” of Babylon (Verse 2) will progress to its culmination in its destruction. Part II is entirely narrated by the “voice from heaven” (Verse 4) who is the Seventh angel who did, indeed...
Revelation Chapter 18
PART I (Verses 1 – 3) continued
VERSE 3 “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
FOR...
Revelation Chapter 18
As was stated at the beginning of Chapter 17:
In this study as usual we will be consulting our two primary sources on the book of Revelation, viz., the “New Albany Notes on Revelation” along with excerpts from Brother Frank Shallieu’s work “The Keys to Revelation”, any...
Revelation Chapter 18
THE DECLINE AND FALL OF BABYLON (Rev 18:1-24)
Introduction to This Chapter, continued
Verse 20: A statement about how the saints rejoice because they know the good that is to follow.
Chapter 13 in Volume Four covers this. Only here does the order of Volume Four differ...
Revelation Chapter 18
Since it’s been sometime since we last continued with our study on Revelation, some may want to do a review of Chapter 17. It can be seen here. All the prior chapters can likewise be seen here, under Prophecy.
THE DECLINE AND FALL OF BABYLON (Rev 18:1-24)
Introduction to...
We continue with the common hindrances which prevent some of the Lord’s professed followers from obtaining a full assurance of faith.
(2) Even amongst those who are REAL Christians (true Disciples of Christ), and WHO HAVE MADE A FULL COVENANT OF SACRIFICE unto the Lord, we find many who say...
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psa 23:6
The apostle Paul speaks of the full assurance of hope and of full assurance of faith, as being the proper conditions for the Lord’s people. (Heb 6:11; 10:22) And...
DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT SALVATIONS
Here note the difference between the blessing God designed for the elect church He is selecting during this gospel age and the one he purposes for the world of mankind. The church’s blessing is NOT “restitution,” and in harmony with this we can see no evidence of...
FEW HAVE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE
The means for the blessing we see provided in Christ and His bride, the elect church of the Gospel age, but the guarantee of the whole is fixed beyond peradventure in the fact that “Jesus Christ by the grace of God tasted death FOR EVERY MAN,” or, as our text...
A COMMON ERROR CORRECTED
At this point many good people laboring under a degree of blindness, the “smoke of the dark ages,” feel disposed to object and to insist that there can be no future probation.
Ask them why, their reply is that, the entire Scriptural teaching contradicts the thought of...
The following topic, “Ransom Implies Restitution” was the title of an address given by Pastor Russel.
The Apostle Paul’s words are my text:
“There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Tim...
BABYLON, THE GREAT CITY
It is not to be expected that either the Mother or the daughters, who are now claiming to reign with Christ, who are now claiming that His Kingdom is already set up (that Christ’s kingdom is represented in them), who are now claiming that their union with the kingdoms of...
“Declare you among the nations, and publish; set up a standard; say, Babylon is taken.”—Jer. 50:2.
While our message for today is “meat in due season” to the Household of Faith, and in every way important to be understood, it is, nevertheless, a subject difficult to treat without giving...
CONSECRATION MUST BE TO GOD ONLY
This same figure of baptism in water is for you and me, and it becomes an outward confession that whatever is written in the Book concerning us we will be glad to do. We rejoice to do the will of God, and desire that His will may be done in us, even as it was...
BUT FEW FIND THE NARROW WAY
God did not choose angels for this wonderful High Calling; but all who have received this Call and the begetting of the Spirit, that they may become joint-heirs with Christ, must every one
receive chastening, disciplining, testing, because of the great and honorable...
