We have previously shown two types of resurrections
The First Resurrection, the resurrection unto life, which will consist of only the faithful over-comers of the Gospel age, and the resurrection of judgment, or of the unjust, which will be for the remainder of mankind during the millennial...
“…I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.” - Philippians 3:13, NLT
Sometimes our past victories keep us from rising higher as much as past failures. If we don’t let go of the old, we’ll never be able to embrace the new.
As you forget what lies...
2 Corinthians 3:7,8 - "Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious."

The First Resurrection
We will now show from the scriptures that there are three different types of resurrections mention in the scriptures. By “type” of course we mean the manner or way in which the resurrection is to take place.
First off we have already shown that there is to be a...
Grab hold of the strength of the Word of victory that is power to us. Anchor it in your mind, in your heart, and in your thoughts!

The following are some interesting questions asked by a member of the forum in response to our study of the Resurrection.
First question: Am I right in thinking that the first resurrection will take place at the end of the tribulation period?
Actually the first resurrection takes place prior...
What of the Resurrection, Who is it for?
In this study we will be looking at the four different types of resurrections.
First off, what do the scriptures say of the resurrection, and who will be resurrected?
“But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was...
It is recalled that to God's ancient people there were appointed five great festivals, all of a pictorial or illustrative character:
1) The Feast of Trumpets -- welcoming the new civil year on the first of Tizri (September, October), one day only. The feast was of special significance every...
James 1:2-4 - "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."

Ephesians 1:5,6 - Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."
We were chosen in Christ long before the earth was made. A...
“A correct understanding of the reign of the church is difficult to grasp unless one appreciates also the concept of the two phases of the kingdom of God. The church, together with Christ, will constitute the spiritual ruling class. They will direct the affairs of the kingdom in a manner similar...
How clear is the fact that there is to be both a spiritual and an earthly phase to God’s Kingdom! And yet even the Master’s disciples at first could not understand this. Just as their conception of the Kingdom was limited to the idea of a selected Jewish nation under the headship of an earthly...
"And it shall come to pass at that time, [that] I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will He do evil." - Zephaniah 1:12 KJV

Exodus 16:4 - "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether or not they will walk in My instruction."'

“You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.” (Exod 29:15)
“The ‘ram of burnt offering’, (the first ram) pictured the identical consecration already portrayed in the sacrifice of the bullock, but from a...

Now the question is asked if as the scriptures state God has provided these various agencies (viz. apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers), “Is it right to follow the teachings of any ONE MAN?
“The Scriptures answer, “One is your Master, even...
In Acts 8:26-40 we read of an Ethiopian eunuch, who on his way back to Ethiopia was found reading from the scriptures, the prophet Isaiah, but who apparently did not understand what he was reading, so the Lord sent Philip to him saying, “Do you understand what you are reading?” the eunuchs reply...
