One night I was on nightshift and one of our residents passed away So another girl and I prepared him for viewing because his wife was about to turn up to see him. This man was a brother in Christ so when she saw me walking through the hallway past his room, she came out to thank me for taking...
Idolatry is a form of worship towards an object, a person a habit or anything that raises itself up higher than God in our hearts. It is in our thoughts when we wake up, throughout our day and at night when we are about to go to bed. In the O/T God commanded his people not to have any other Gods...
Milo was our home group leader and he helped us to grow in Christ every week night. There were about thirty or more attending his group and we really enjoyed each others company and found unity in our various levels of growth. The home group really became an extention of our own families and we...
Concluding Thoughts
The first thing we would address is the title of this study.
It may be asked why we chose to entitled this study “Stumbling in the Way” rather than simply “The History of the Gospel age Church”, as that is what it is primarily about.
Actually, the initial goal in putting...
The Seventh Church is the Church of Laodicea, meaning “justice for the people” or “a judged people”.
The return of the Lord (The Second Presence or Greek: Parousia) marks the beginning of Laodicean period.
This date or time period began in A.D. 1874 and is established by the Jubilee Prophecy...
I dreamed that my friend contacted me to tell me that he and his wife had broken up. I asked what happened and he said she wanted him to do things with her all the time and although he did that, he also wanted time to do things he had been looking forward to startiing as well. He said she wanted...
I dreamed I was dressed as a woman warrior in the form of an avatar. I appeared at my friends house by the Holy Sprit. My friend was sleeping and I was deeply concerned because I could sense that there was wrestling going on with tormenting spirits and dreams. I was about to step forward and...
I was awake with my eyes closed so I will call this a vision of the night while in my bed. My friend from Australia rang me and said she and her husband, his friend and his friends buddy (who had just come back from an overeas outreach) were all planning to come back to NZ and spend a few days...
I dreamed that I was standing in front of a long table covered with a white table cloth. On this table there were all kinds of food. I could see purple and green grapes, olives, citrus fruit, cheese, bread, vegetables, fish and meat and so much more....
There were also golden goblets for...
THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 3) continued
We continue here with our look at Uriah Smith’s book on DANIEL AND THE REVELATION which helps us to better understand the 3 1/2 days in which the two witnesses lay dead in the streets.
(Pages 439-440)
Verse 10 “And they that dwell upon the earth shall...

Revelation Chapter 11
VERSE 14 “The second woe is past. behold, the third woe is coming quickly.”
Revelation 8:13 had informed us that the last three Trumpets would be “woes” to those dwelling on the earth — those whose roots in the present order make them...

Revelation Chapter 11
VERSE 11 “Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from god entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.”
But, as we read in Smith’s book, this all lasted only 3 ½ years. Those...

Revelation Chapter 11
VERSE 7 “When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.”
This verse begins a section dealing with the treatment of the Bible near the Time...
Death has been on my mind a lot lately. Some of it stems from me being more aware of my own mortality the older I've gotten. But also, my elderly parents are both in their 80s and don't have many years left. It's not easy coming to grips that one day they won't be here. It's not something I'm...

An important comparison:
The word GIVEN occurs in both the previous verse, Verse 2 and in Verse 3 — or some variation of the word, depending on translation. The comparisons are helpful.
Verse 2: The Court is GIVEN to the Gentiles so that they can persecute...
THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 3)
This is a chapter of equals. The 10th chapter, having brought us to understand that Daniel’s Time-of-the-End prophecies were now being fulfilled, has set the stage for us to understand some of the principles of chronological symbolism. Chapter 11 in its own way tells...
I dreamed that I was with another mountain climber at the base of a mountain. There were a group of other climbers ( male and female) getting prepared to climb as well. The purpose of this excursion was to plant a flag at the top. We started to climb before the others to get to the next camp...

Revelation Chapter 10
VERSE 5 “The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven…”
The angel now lifts his right hand to heaven. In Daniel, both hands were lifted. There may be more significance, but it does seem, at...

Revelation Chapter 10
VERSE 2 “He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land…”
