"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees (Doctors of the Law then, now days referred to as Doctors of Divinity), you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven (the spiritual or heavenly phase of the kingdom) in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are...
Once again returning to our previous questions in regards to Armageddon.
Although we are certain that many shall perish during the final climatic struggle between the old order and the new thankfully the Scriptures assure us that none of these shall see Second Death that is until first, they...
“What the Apostle calls the just and the unjust, our Lord in our text calls the good and the evil. That neither the Lord nor the Apostle meant to intimate that any of mankind are good, perfect in the absolute sense, is most evident from the trend of the Scriptures, which assure us in various...
In our previous post we had suggested several questions which we believe that when rightfully understood will shed further light upon our subject, that subject of course being the thought purposed by the Society, that those who perish in the final climatic end of the great time of trouble...
As was stated earlier, this discussion took place sometime back on another forum in which several x-Jehovah’s Witnesses as well as some active members who had joined the Bible Students forum were asked to explain the Societies teaching that those who perish during the great time of trouble...
Having in our last post seen the general view on this issue as stated by the Society we now would like to see what Victor had to say.
Victor states:
“The war of Armageddon will cleanse the earth of all corruption and wickedness and open the way for a righteous new system of things under the...
Before we begin our reply in regards to this subject we should first like to note some of what the Society has to say on the issue.
The following was taken from the website: Facts About Jehovah's Witnesses
Watchtower Development
Imagine for a second that Watchtower is not the true religion...
Similar to our study on the differences between the beliefs and interpretation of scripture between Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist there exist the same in respects to Bible Students and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Although both groups are commonly perceived to be one in the same because of...
Before we begin this discussion, we should first like to clear up a common misconception, one which has been fostered no less by the Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves, it involves who the founder of the organization was and what teachings or materials the organization uses in their study and...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 4 continued “These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being first fruits to God and to the Lamb.”
In our previous post we learned just who...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”
Only the 144,000 will ever sing this “new song” in...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 2 continued “And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.”
Some question:
Since the harp represents the Word of God in Scripture, wouldn’t the “voice” of...
Revelation Chapter 14
Verses 1-5 as explained by Brother Shallieu in his commentary, The Keys of Revelation
VERSE 1 “Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.”
As was alluded...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”
AND THEY SANG A NEW SONG: Just as the prophecies...
Revelation Chapter 14
VERSE 1 “Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.”
AND I LOOKED: Here, again, John uses his reliable focus changer. Since Rev 13:11 we have been...
Revelation Chapter 14
In our previous study we were examining Chapter 13 of Revelation, however in truth we had not in reality completed our study of this chapter, we merely finished the chapter according to how it is commonly ended at Verse 18 in our bibles. Chapter 13 does not end at Verse...
THE PARABLE OF THE DRAG-NET
The seventh and last of the Kingdom parables is that of the Dragnet.
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a net that was cast into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels...
Having considered the first four of the little group of seven parables recorded in the 13th chapter of Matthew we move on to the fifth.
THE PARABLE OF THE HIDDEN TREASURE
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes...
“Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.” (Matt 13:33)
