5. TIME-FRAME STUDY
Not all scriptures nor all Scriptural injunctions apply at all times. For example, there was a time when God dealt with the Jewish nation and no one else (Amos 3:2); and there is now a time when placing ourselves under the ten commandments of the Jewish Law is inappropriate...
It is not the purpose of this study to give an in-depth or detailed interpretation of Revelation (We’ll save that for later). Instead, this study is designed simply to provide an outline that is generally accepted as sound by serious, enlightened students of the Bible. It also will provide the...
“We began this study with a list of seven questions that are basic to an understanding of God's plan (and hence are basic to an understanding of the details of prophecy that are found in Revelation). To close this chapter we will ask the same seven questions and this time give concise answers to...
The Gospel is summarized in God's promise to Abraham, "In thy seed shall all nations be blessed."
What does this mean? Notice that it involves two distinct and separate parts:
1. Abraham's seed.
2. All nations (or families) of earth.
Abraham's seed is not totally as Abraham might have...
THE OTHER HALF OF THE GOSPEL
“Genesis begins with the fall of man. Revelation concludes with the restoration of man. In Genesis the curse falls on man. In Revelation the curse is "no more." In Genesis are the promises that the "seed of the woman" and the seed of Abraham will destroy the enemy...
“The title of this last book of the Bible is taken from its first verse: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John" It is important to consider the...
We would very much like to do a study on Revelation as it is apparent from the many confused ideas being circulated on this forum that there is much debate as to what is truth, but of course this is something to be expected for Babylon (the professing church) is (in the state of) confusion even...
DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT SALVATIONS
Here note the difference between the blessing God designed for the elect church He is selecting during this gospel age and the one he purposes for the world of mankind. The church’s blessing is not “restitution,” and in harmony with this we can see no evidence of...
“TIMES OF RESTITUTION”
In full accord with all that we discussed in our previous post is the apostle’s statement respecting the blessings that are to come to mankind during the millennial age, following our Lord’s second advent and the glorification of His church to joint heirship with Himself...
FEW HAVE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE
The means for the blessing we see provided in Christ and His bride, the elect church of the Gospel age, but the guarantee of the whole is fixed beyond peradventure in the fact that “Jesus Christ by the grace of God tasted death for every man,” or, as our text...
A COMMON ERROR CORRECTED
At this point many good people laboring under a degree of blindness, the “smoke of the dark ages,” feel disposed to object and to insist that there can be no future probation. Ask them why, their reply is that the entire Scriptural teaching contradicts the thought of a...
NOT A LIMITED ATONEMENT
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be...
We have already seen that the 1000-year period which began in Autumn 1874 A.D. is the 49th (1000 year day) from the beginning of the "days" of creation (46,128 B.C.), and the 7th (1000 year day) from the fall of Adam (4126 B.C.), and that, therefore, it may be regarded as a great “Sabbath year."...
THE UNDER PRIEST
“For Aaron’s sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make sashes for them. And you shall make turbans (head coverings) for them, for glory and beauty. So you shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him. You shall anoint them, consecrate them, and sanctify...
In the first chapter of Genesis each of the six "days" of creation is divided into an “evening” and a “morning." The great seventh “day" of Jehovah may also be equally divided into an "evening" and a "morning." The central point of this great 7000-year day is the date Autumn 627 B.C., i.e., the...
The Jubilee Prophecy is the only direct chronological proof of our Lord’s return, thus it is imperative that we fully comprehend it.
The method by which the Israelite's were instructed to calculate the precise year when they were to sound the trumpet of jubilee, namely, the cycle of 7 times 7...
"IF YE BE CHRIST'S, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED AND HEIRS."
Another matter, really the key to the whole question which we are discussing, is revealed in God's Word, viz., that in the divine purpose the promised "Seed of Abraham" that should perform the great work of blessing all the families of...
NOT UNIVERSAL SALVATION BUT A UNIVERSAL OPPORTUNITY FOR SALVATION.
The Apostle tells us that God preached the Gospel beforehand to Abraham, "beforehand" signifying before it was due to begin; for the Gospel did not begin with Abraham, but with our Lord Jesus Christ, as the Apostle again...
But what of our question, what is the Gospel to which the Apostle was not ashamed?
As we had previously stated, The true Gospel must show divine Wisdom and Power in full accord with divine Justice and Love: of any other we should be ashamed.
CONSIDER NOW THE TRUE GOSPEL.
The word "gospel"...
The ARMINIAN view of the Gospel
Let us now examine the Armenian view. This view is growing popular. Its message or Gospel is God is love, he loves you; he loves everybody; he is doing all that he can to save everybody; if you are lost it will not be God's fault, but your own.
On the surface...
