ELISHA, IF A TYPE, A DOUBLE ONE.
We might here remark that although we are treating Elisha as a part of the type as well as Elijah, yet there is nothing in the Scriptures that positively intimates that this is the case – it is a mere inference. In Elijah’s case, as we have already pointed out...
HARVEST SIFTINGS TYPIFIED.
There has been considerable speculation respecting this account of the three times and places at which Elijah invited Elisha to part company with him: that Elijah was too modest to desire many witnesses of the final manifestation of God’s favor toward him, or that he...
2 Kings 2:1-11
Golden Text: – “He was not, for God took him.” – Gen 5:24 (R3416)
The words, “When the Lord would take up Elijah,” suggest that Elijah had a specially protected life – that it was not subject to the power of his enemies – that he was wholly under divine control. And this is true...
The Placebo Vision
This morning while outside awaiting on the Lord, I saw a vision of a woman holding up a hypodermic needle. She flicked it to get out any air pockets. The serum looked like water. Then I heard the Lord say, “It’s academic.”
I asked whether this was just my imagination or not...
CHRIST OUR REDEMPTION, OR DELIVERANCE.
Many confound the words redemption and redeem, found in the New Testament, whereas they refer to different features of the work of Christ. The word redeem in its every use in the New Testament signifies to acquire by the payment of a price, while the word...
CHRIST OUR SANCTIFICATION, continued
But the exaltation of our Lord, who already was the chief of all creation, was even less remarkable than another feature of the divine plan, foreordained before the foundation of the world (1 Pet 1:2; Eph 1:4); namely, that he would make to some of his human...
CHRIST OUR SANCTIFICATION.
The term “Sanctification,” used in this text, means, set apart, consecrated, devoted to, or marked out for a holy use or purpose.
Christ by God is made unto us sanctification. That is to say, God through Christ sets apart or marks out for a special share in his great...
Vision Of A Rope
I was outback this morning, spending time with the Lord, when I saw a vision of a rope coming down from heaven. The rope had a knot tied at the bottom. I saw a man’s hand pulling on the rope, but he couldn’t pull it down, nor was he able to climb up. Then the Lord said, “This...
Vision Of The Store And The News Headlines
This morning I needed to go to the local supermarket, so I got myself changed, ready to go for a small walk. While getting ready, I had a vision. My store is a supermarket and is large, but in this vision, as I saw myself walking towards the...
The Phone Box Vision
I was sitting outback having a coffee when I saw a vision of a woman counting coins. She entered a red phone box, trying to add coins into the slot, but every time she pressed the button to accept the coins, they would come out at the bottom. She wondered if she had the...
CHRIST OUR JUSTIFICATION.
That Christ is made unto us righteousness or justification implies, –
(1) That we are unjust, or unrighteous in the sight of God, and unworthy of his favor.
(2) That, in view of our unworthiness, God had in some manner arranged that Christ’s righteousness should...
CHRIST, THE INSTRUCTOR, JUSTIFIER, SANCTIFIER AND DELIVERER OF HIS PEOPLE.
“Who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, [justification], and sanctification, and redemption [deliverance].”
–1 Cor 1:30 –
CHRIST OUR WISDOM.
Since God’s dealings with his creatures recognize their...
Two In A Bed
I had a dream this afternoon. I was walking down a hallway of a unit I used to work in. It was late at night and I went to check in on a resident to see if he was alright. When I went into his room, there were two men sleeping in the same bed.
They awoke when I entered and were...
This is an old dream, which I feel I should post now. I found myself in a yellow single-person kayak out at sea and wondered how I got there. It was a sunny day, but the waves were choppy, so I had to balance myself to keep from tipping out. I began to look around for any signs of land but could...
Signing Of A Document
I just walked into my house when I saw a vision of a man holding a feather writing quill. His hand moved to parchment paper, which he signed. Something significant was signed, just like the signing of the Declaration of Independence. An executive order. Vision Ended...
Vision Of A Container Ship And A Postcard.
Early this morning while out back, I saw a vision of a container ship being unloaded from a port. The containers were rusty orange, off white, and other colors. Then it disappeared, as a young cream-colored camel appeared with black rope-type reins...
Vision Of A Loaf Of Bread:
I was sitting out back when I saw a vision of a loaf of round bread sitting on a table. A man was standing behind the table, and I could only see that he was wearing some kind of white robe. He gave me the impression that he was a Catholic priest or similar who was...
Vision of an Artist:
While making breakfast this morning, I saw a vision of a palette of various colors. Then I saw a blank canvas, and a woman’s hand began to paint. She painted a garden with flowers, trees, butterflies, and other things. As she painted, the canvas came to life, and things she...
Vision of an Aircraft:
This morning I was outside with a mocha when a vision began to appear. I saw a plane on a runway. It was smaller than an international aircraft with fewer windows. The plane was white with a red stripe across it, and it seemed to have a different nose, like it was shorter...
Vision of the Lord,
This morning I was sitting out the back porch thinking about some of the visions I have been seeing in the past day or two (some I have not written in the forum). I was contemplating whether what I was seeing was from the Lord or out of my own head, honestly, as some of them...
