There are several proof texts which we believe confirm to us that the Arch angel Michael was none other than our Lord in his pre-human existence some of these were mentioned in our first post but here we would like to examine them as well as some others a bit closer.
Our first text is found in...
In Job 38:7 we read that when the earth was created, “The morning stars (plural, which we believe there were only two, the Logos and Lucifer) sang together, AND all the sons of God (the rest of the angels) shouted for joy.”
Our Lord referred to himself as one of these morning stars in Rev...
There are several stumbling blocks which prevent many from seeing that the Arch Angel Michael was none other than our Lord Jesus Christ in his pre-human existence notably among which is the doctrine of the Trinity.
Our Trinity friends blinded by their own prejudice and credulous faith in the...
“The name Jesus means one who saves – a savior. But God's plan for saving the world from sin and death is so comprehensive that in order to help us understand all its implications God, through his Word, has given Jesus many and varied TITLES, each giving some particular viewpoint regarding the...
Jacob’s Trouble continued
We continue with the hallowing of the Lord through the defeat of Gog before the eyes of the world as recorded in Isaiah 66
Verse 18 “For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my...
Jacob’s Trouble continued
“It shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen [or nations] may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes" (Ezek 38:8–12,14–16).
There are two ways in which we might envision God being hallowed in...
With respects to the second confederacy of nations mentioned previously those who take no part in the physical invasion, but who nonetheless do nothing to impede it, Brother Frank Shallieu has another perspective as to who these might well represent somewhat similar to that of Brother Hagensick...
The final phase of Armageddon, prophetically described as, “Jacob’s trouble”
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all...
From what we have learned thus far it is apparent that before looking for the invasion of Gog from the land of Magog we should first be looking for the impending Arab invasion of Israel which is to precede it.
What say the Scriptures in this respect?
“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold...
Prelude to “Gog and Magog”
Typically when we think about the Gog and Magog incident we picture a great Russia hoard in coalition with various Arab nations coming together to do battle against Israel, but is this correct, is this truly what is going to take place or have we simply jumped to this...
As stated in our previous post we mentioned three groups of individuals living at the time who will enter the great tribulation:
1) The Great Company.
2) The nation of Israel.
3) The world of mankind.
Two of these groups are destine not only to enter the great time of trouble, but likewise...
As we stated in our first post the “Day of the Lord”, the Second Advent or Greek: Parousia (presence) of our Lord encompasses the entire thousand years. It is not simply composed of the great time of trouble and the destruction of all sinners as is commonly supposed, but likewise includes many...
“And at that day the slain of the Lord shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried; they shall become refuse on the ground.” (Jer 25:33)
Although there are many prophecies which pertain specifically to Israel after...
In our previous post we noted our friends statement that the “following the Lord’s Second Advent the earth is to be destroyed, empty, darkened, silent, and devoid of all life… and that “nothing on this planet is going to have a pulse until after the 1,000 years”.
He quotes Jeremiah as saying...
In considering the Day of the Lord we should like to note a few of the various works to be performed on this day, remember the Day of the Lord encompasses the entire thousand years of his Parousia.
Shortly following the arrival of our Lord the first work was the raising of the sleeping saints...
In this study we should like to address the assertion made by one of our forum members that: “Following the Lord’s Second Advent the earth is to be destroyed, empty, darkened, silent, and devoid of all life (except for Satan and his demons).”
Likewise his statement that: “All those verses like...
THE PERSON OF THE "MAN OF SIN"
He is called the "man of sin," and this expression is qualified by another, "the son of perdition."
As before, we search the Scriptures to learn what use the Spirit has elsewhere made of this phrase, and we find it employed in only a single other instance (John...
THE ORIGIN OF THE "MAN OF SIN"
Led by our investigation thus far to look for the Evil One in the Church of God, we find all the other language of the prophecy pointing in the same direction.
The first stage in the predicted development of the wicked one is that of APOSTASY. Speaking of the...
THE SEAT OF THE "MAN OF SIN"
"He, as God, sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." The Greek phrase here employed for "temple of God," is (“ton naon tou Theou”) now, from Matthew to Revelation this expression occurs only seven times. The following are all seven instances:
1...
In this study it is our goal to determine the person or nature of the “Man of Sin”, where he comes from, and how it is that he sits in the temple of God.
“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son...
