Interesting Questions
If lasting life is the portion of all when awakened, are they justified?
If not justified, are they still under condemnation?
If neither justified nor condemned, what is their condition?
The condition of the world on trial during the Millennial age will be neither one...
I was sitting out back while talking with the Lord when I saw a vision of some vertical blinds. They were closed, and I watched them slowly open by an invisible hand. Then I heard the Lord say:
For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an...
“The following will prove interesting reading to many of our brethren, and especially amongst our Jewish friends. It is a report of remarks made by an old Hebrew at a “mission” meeting. We note that God has so overturned natural Israel that even if they had possession of the holy places where...
Perspectives;
While walking through a hospital one day, a woman who had to see a specialist decided to go to the bathroom before her appointment. A cleaner was in there at that time, cleaning the wash basins after mopping the floors. The woman apologized because she walked on her nice clean...
As stated in our previous study, nothing in the Scriptures positively assures us that Elisha was a type; but if his experiences from the time Elijah was taken away were typical, it would appear to us that they were in some sense double – that he represented two classes.
(1) He would seem in the...
2 KINGS 2:12-24
Golden Text: – “Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.” – 2 Kings 2:9
That Elisha was the son of a wealthy Israelite is evidenced by the fact that his father’s farming was done on a large scale. At the time that Elijah, under divine direction, first approached him and...
Vision Of A Man On His Phone
While praying this morning, I saw a vision. I saw a man driving down a country road at night. It was dark, and there was no other traffic. He stopped, parked on the side of the road, and turned his headlights off. Then he got out of his car and started walking. He...
Vision Of The Loaf Of Bread Thrown Into The Sea
This morning while in prayer on my back doorstep, I had a vision of an uncut loaf of bread sitting in the air. The bread began to be sliced and thrown into the sea. Then a whole lot of birds came from nowhere, and they began to eat the bread that...
A Can Of Soup
While spending time with the Lord out back this morning, I had a vision of a can of Campbell mushroom soup being opened with a can opener, then I heard the Lord say, For today, I will turn your sorrow and sadness into the oil of joy and good things, for I am with you. Trust me.”...
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...
