"BLESSED THE DEAD WHO DIE."
Furthermore, we note a beautiful analogy here; for, thus considered, our Lord's resurrection a few days after his taking of office as King in typical Israel, corresponds to, or parallels the resurrection of the Church, "the body of Christ" a few days after his taking...
THEY KNEW NOT THE TIME OF THEIR VISITATION.
– LUKE 19:44. –
Our Lord reproved the teachers of Israel because they did not discern the signs of the times; because they "knew not the TIME of their visitation." His words imply that their ignorance was a mark of carelessness and unworthiness, and...
In our previous post, Part 12 we noted:
"In reading the narrative of our Lord's appearance to his disciples after his resurrection, the fact seems generally to be overlooked that he appeared only a few times, in all, and that these visits were always brief, and that between these visits, after...
THE LORD’S WORK FORESHOWN IN HIS PARABLES.
(We have reposted this blog post, because it was inadvertently deleted, sorry for the inconvenience to those follwing this study.)
His work is clearly outlined in various of his parables, which were given that the Watchers might know – might not be in...
This is something I haven't attempted to do, mostly because I am still unfamiliar with some of the names given to certain sets of gym exercises but I feel it's time to write out my progam I do at the gym. I normally go four times a week. The first of the week I will work on exercises relating to...
"THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT."
We call to mind also our Lord's explanation of spiritual things to Nicodemus, in which he declared plainly that only those who are born again can either enter into, or SEE the Kingdom of God (because as we had previously seen this is a spiritual...
PRESENCE GRADUALLY REVEALED.
In our previous post we drew the line of distinction between the parousia and the epiphania or apokalupsis of our Lord, quite sharply, to assist the reader in noting their difference of signification. As a matter of fact, however, the bright shining of the present...
Rescue From The Sea
I had a revelation in the form of an open vision today. In this vision, I saw a man in the water from the boat I was in, so I threw him a life line and held on to the other end, thinking that he would climb out and into the boat, but he was not ready to pull himself up. He...
PAROUSIA IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
The word parousia occurs in the following texts of the New Testament in each of which it should be properly translated "presence:" –
"What shall be the sign of thy presence?" – Matt 24:3
"So shall also the presence of the Son of Man be." – Matt 24:27,37,39...
Groom Without A Bride:
In my dream, I saw a man wearing what appeared to be a white wedding suit. It was unusual because it had a very thin, black, widely spaced, plaid design across it
The man was holding a bouquet of flowers.
It had maiden hair, gerbers and other flowers made up and bunched...
The Black Horse:
The dream began with a black Horse standing in front of me, staring intently in my direction. He was beautiful, tall and black and had a long black mane and tail. He spoke without words, daring me to come and sit on his back. I thought about, how I have not been on a horse for...
Gazing At The Stars
I was sitting on a precipice of some kind, very high up and it was night time. The stars were out in their full glory and I could see them surrounding me like I had a 360 view.. As I looked out at them, I seemed insignificant in comparison to everything that God had made and...
Walking In The Snow
I was walking down a snow covered slope making my way to the bottom and I was wearing snow shoes.
As I trudged through the snow, a skier came whizzing past me down the slope, then another but I kept walking till I got to a tobbogan. I thought that I may make more progress...
The Rose:
It was difficult to determine whether this was a dream or a vision because I was still awake but my eyes were closed. I was holding a rose in my hand. It was a beautiful and deep red in color. As I looked at it, it began to wilt and the edges of the petals began to change color from...
THE DAYS OF WAITING ARE FULFILLED.
(4) Take another line of prophecy: we find that the 1260 days, and the 1290 days, and the 1335 days, so particularly set forth in Daniel's prophecy, and corroborated in Revelation, have had fulfilments; –
The *1260 days ending in A.D. 1799.
The *1290 days...
THE JUBILEE PROPHECY.
(3) Note another prophecy, similarly hidden in type in the Mosaic law, – Israel's Jubilee Year. No one is prepared to understand this line of prophecy who has not first learned that the second coming of our Lord is not for the purpose of destroying the world, but for the...
TYPICAL ISRAEL'S EXPERIENCES WERE PROPHETIC.
(2) Take another line of prophecy, concealed, and yet very simple and easy of appreciation when once the mind grasps it. The Scriptures show us that the fleshly house of Israel and all of its institutions and affairs were typical fore-shadowing’s of...
"IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS."
(1) We have a number of general prophecies, indicating that we are living in the time of the Master's second presence.
We have already referred to Daniel's testimony respecting "the time of the end," in which many will run to and fro, and knowledge will be...
THE TIME OF THE PAROUSIA (PRESENCE).
It will doubtless surprise many (especially those in the nominal or professing church, many of whom are the Lord’s true children, consecrated, howbeit merely “babes in Christ” lacking any true development in the knowledge and graces of our Lord due to a lack...
PAROUSIA VS. EPIPHANIA, APOKALUPSIS.
Because not heedless, careless, indifferent servants of the King, but faithful and earnest ones, the Watchers have scrutinized every little particular which fell from the lips of him who spoke as never man spoke; and all the messages which he has sent them...
