Matthew Chapter 24 Before we proceed on to Verse 45 in our Matthew study we should first like to present a bit more insight in regards to the “watches” mentioned in Luke 12:38, which we hope might aid some to a better appreciation of what is being referred to. We should also like to take another look at the time similarity between the 120 years of Noah prior to the flood, and the passing away of “the world that then existed” (2 Pet 3:6), and the 120 years leading up to the passing away of...

Eight: Craving For Grandiose 1: Winning Politically At All Costs To The Nation In the early years, as the Party’s head, Jiang Ze-min’s position inside the CCP was not very secure. Not only did he have to confront pressures from the senior leaders in the Party, but also he had to face the general public’s dissatisfaction, over the Tiananmen Massacre. Meanwhile, China’s foreign relations were on the rocks. Many countries called back their ambassadors. Trade and arms embargos hit China’s...

Matthew 16:18 - "On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Where precisely are the gates of hell? Where does the devil sit in power? The mind is the gatekeeper of the Kingdom of God. It is the place of access, transition, and power. It follows that the gates of hell are set up in people's minds. Jesus made this clear: Matthew 16:23 - But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of...

He has a background in radio, and has never worked on anything that has to do with the army. But Jiang asked for Xu Caihou’s help to make Jiang Miankang, Vice Chairman of the political committee at the Nanjing Army base, as well as a major general. Before his retirement, Jiang Zemin didn’t trust anyone with military power, so he tried to transfer...

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower That you made with plastic power Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep Drive on engines 'til they weep With future pixels in factories far away So call the mainland from the beach Your heart is now washed up in bleach The waves are rising for this time of year And nobody knows what to do with the heat Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky I got a...

Matthew Chapter 24 Once again we return to the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant” as taken from Luke Chapter 12. Verse 38 “And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.” A THOUSAND YEARS...ARE AS A WATCH IN THE NIGHT According to the ancient Jewish method of reckoning the night time, the second watch would be from ten to two o'clock and the third from two to six o'clock.

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue once again with Luke Chapter 12 and the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant”. Verse 37 “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.” THE MASTER WILL SERVE HIS SERVANTS What will be the special reward of these servants? The parable states it: their Master will "gird himself [he will become their...

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue once again with our look at the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant”, as we believe it will greatly aid us when we continue with our Matthew study. Luke 12 Verse 36 “And you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.” Our Lord gave a parable to illustrate the alertness and attentiveness that should characterize his followers....

Matthew Chapter 24 Before proceed to the next verse, we should like first to take a closer look at the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant” (Luke 12:35-40) that we might gain further insight on the significance of the “watches” eluded to both there and in Matt 24:43. This study will aid us when we take up the last several verses of Matthew 24 (Verses 45-51). In our previous post it was noted that these “watches” were sometimes broken into three and sometimes into four...

Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 43 KJV continued, “But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” In Luke 12:36–38 three time periods of expectation are suggested: “second watch,” “third watch,” and an implied first watch. “And you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him...
