Psalm 103 (KJV) 103 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with...
A period of about six thousand years intervenes between the world’s first and second judgment days, and during this long period God has been selecting two special classes from among men, and specially trying, disciplining and training them to be his honored instruments during the period or day...
The coming judgment will be on exactly the same principles as were the first. The same law of obedience will be presented, with the same reward of life, and the same penalty of death. And as the first trial had a beginning, progressed, and culminated with a sentence, so also will the second; and...
In our previous post we mentioned how only the Church have as yet been reckoned freed from the originally condemnation which resides upon the world, and that only they are presently on trial for life or death at this time. But according to our theme text (Acts 17:31) He has likewise appointed...
The word “judgment” as used in John 5:29 “ the resurrection of judgment”, is from Strong’s # 2920, in the Greek, “krisis,” decision, a “turning point”, subjective or objective, for or against, a tribunal, the process of trying or testing the fitness, truth, strength, or other quality of a person...
This might appear at first glance to be a rather ill-timed study to present here during this festive season (Christmas), but this is only because of the many false ideas held by the Lord’s professed people in regards to this Day, many of which were fostered during the dark ages. The truth is the...
Joel 2:25 - "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten..."
God can and will restore all the lost years that the enemy tried to vanquish you. He tried to annihilate you (the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy), but he could not stop you! God's Spirit gives life.
He...
Alright so I’ll start by saying this, these dreams happened less than two weeks ago. During the week at noon or so I was praying because I was doubting if my marriage was blessed by God or not and I also prayed for other things that where on my mind. After I was done praying I ended up getting a...
Symbolic Meaning of Matthew 24:30-31
Heaven and heavens are often symbolic of corrupt religious systems (2 Pet. 3:5-10; Isa. 34:5-4; Joel 2:9-11). See can denote mental perception (Luke 3:6; John 1:51; Rev. 19:10; Matt. 27:4, 24). Clouds often represent trouble as in Joel 2:1-2, a parallel text...
Mental Perception
Now let us consider more thoroughly Rev 7: 1 and Matt 24:30, which speak of all mankind seeing the returned Lord.
Are they literal or symbolic?
“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will...
“Having established scripturally (See our last two studies, “Signs of Christ’s Presence” and “I will Come Again”) that the second advent of Christ begins with a secret invisible presence which is discernible only by the eye of faith, and only to those members of the Church who are awake and...
"Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth"
Historically there is not a single Protestant concept of the Second Advent that has an unbroken lineage back to the time of the Reformation. Since that time, Bible-believing Christians have fluctuated among a number of conflicting concepts.
The purpose of...
Evangelical and Fundamentalist Consent to "Presence"
The Emphasized Bible translated by Rotherham is published by Kregel, an evangelical publishing house. Rotherham relates his struggle with the word parousia in the third edition of his translation. Although contrary to his theology, he...
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:3)
When this age-abiding promise was first uttered by Jesus to his apostles, it did not make sense. To the naturally minded men who followed Jesus, they...
#1) ALWAYS carry salvation tracts with you. You never know when you will give one out.
#2) Carry New Testaments, with tracts in the first page, every time you take a bus ride. When the bus starts, go up and down the aisle and ask if anyone would like a free New Testament.
#3) Print our your...
Nations on the Run—another Remarkable Prophecy
“Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord! For what good is the day of the Lord to you? It will be darkness, and not light. It will be as though a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on...
Are things getting better or worse?
Population Explosion: Before 1650 A.D. the population doubled every 1,000 years; it doubled in 1850 (200 years later); doubled again in 1930 (only 80 years later); and doubled again in 1965 (only 35 years later).
In 1990 the world population was 5.5 billion...
Wars and War Preparations
“…Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, Let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ Assemble and come, all you nations, and gather together all around…” (Joel 3:9-11)
