“The beast THAT WAS, and is not; and is about to come …”
In order for us to clearly understand the nature of the Beast which is shortly “TO COME” (Rev 17:8) we need first to take a closer look at the Beast “THAT WAS” to determine just what were some of the leading causes and or circumstances...
Revelation Chapter 17:8-11
VERSE 9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.”
HERE IS THE MIND WHICH HAS WISDOM: The angel now invites the saints to reason.
He does NOT explain to us the meaning of the following verses. He merely LISTS...
Revelation Chapter 17:8-11
VERSE 8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that...
Point # 2: The PARTIAL beast (of Verses 8, 11-13, 16, 17) is THUS SAID to be “OF the seven,” but NOT ONE of the seven.” (Therefore we should not look for a definition of this [partial] beast prior to the first head since Verse 11 says that it is “of the seven.”)
This aberration of the people’s...
Although we have on previous occasions mentioned much of what we imagine to be the conditions and events leading up to the “Great Storm”, we had not yet focused on the true element which will prove instrumental in the total destruction of the present order, the wrath of man himself, i.e. the...
The Time is at Hand
Although the harvest continues, and will continue do so until the last of the Lord’s elect have made their calling and election sure all evidence suggest that we are closing in on the great climax of this age, the final event of the great time of trouble, the Seventh Plague...
Here we would like to return to one of our earlier questions specifically,
How the resurrection of judgement will commence, how will it be carried out, the general order of it?
Now from our study thus far we understand that in the preliminary stages it will begin with the “holy remnant” of...
A THRONE OF GRACE AND JUSTICE
Two of God's great attributes (mercy and justice) as related to His dealing with mankind, operated when he originally formed the Plan of redemption and will continue to be exercised unto its completion. God's mercy is infinitely greater than men's conception of it...
"AND THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD"
The words of the vision show that the dead of every generation, of every clime and country, no matter how or when they met their death will be awakened before that thousand-year day is over. The Scriptures in referring to this awakening imply that they will come...
THE HOPE OF THE DEAD
In great contrast with others is the exposition of this vision, so clearly, logically, as well as scripturally, presented by the Pastor. One of his most luminous statements is found in his early writings and is in perfect harmony with all written by him since. The quotation...
THE RANSOM SACRIFICE BASIS OF WORLD'S HOPE
These Scriptures very clearly teach that the ransom sacrifice of the Man Christ Jesus fully offsets what the disobedience of Adam brought upon all men. The elect Church, the called out ones (the sanctified), receive the full benefit of that sacrifice...
"I SAW THE DEAD STAND BEFORE THE THRONE"
The Apostle John's next words are: "And I saw the Dead, the Great and the Little, stand before the Throne; and Books were opened; and Another Book was opened, which is the book of Life; and the Dead were judged from the Things which had been Written in...
"THE THRONE OF HIS GLORY"
Concerning the "Throne" and its occupant, MR. BARNES has said: "The throne here is the same which is referred to in Matt. 25:37, and called there the 'Throne of His Glory."' The occupant of the Throne he understands is the Lord Jesus Christ, "the final judge of...
"WE LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH"
The Pastor’s explanation, as we would suppose because of his having a clearer understanding of the Divine Plan of the Ages, and particularly of the nature and character of the great judgment Day, and of the symbolic language employed to describe the ushering...
THE PRESENT HEAVENS AND EARTH TO PASS AWAY
Practically all of the Pre-Millennial expositors are agreed in regard to the "heaven and earth" being symbolical. One of these has thus expressed himself on this matter:
"Aeons [ages] end, times change, the fashion of the world passes away, but there...
THE OBJECT OF THE JUDGMENT DAY
The only ones up to the present time released from that sentence are the Church class who have heard, understood, and exercised faith in the Son of God as both their Savior [Deliverer] and Lord. These have in the present life their trial, probation, judgment day...
HOW will the resurrection of judgement be accomplished, that is how will it be carried out, and is there some order to it?
Order is heavens first law, the Almighty is the God of order not of chaos, everything which was, is, and is to come is following along the divine plan or purpose; nothing...
WHERE will the resurrection of judgement begin?
The Millennial blessings will begin with Israel.
Restitution blessings will begin in Israel, after the stress of the great time of trouble, in which the chosen people will have their share--"the time of Jacob's trouble."
God's blessings of every...
WHAT is the resurrection of Judgement?
First let us make clear what the resurrection of judgement IS NOT, it is not what is commonly taught and believed in the professing church, a resurrection of damnation as is incorrectly translated in our common bibles. It is the professing church, the...
So what then of our original questions concerning the survivors of Armageddon, viz. the “holy remnant” of Israel as well as the rest of mankind living (?) at the time:
Do they need a resurrection?
Yes most assuredly they will require a resurrection. Just because they didn’t die during the...
