"I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ." (Rom 1:16)
“No one of intelligence will dispute the meaning of the word "Gospel;" it signifies "GOOD TIDINGS," good news, --a good message.
Nevertheless, in some unaccountable manner, by common consent, "a real Gospel sermon" is almost universally...
Rest and Restitution
Although God entered into his rest after he passed the sentence of death upon Adam, Jesus intimated that his Father had nevertheless been working—"My Father works hitherto, and I work” (John 5:17). This does not seem in agreement with the statement that God was resting...
Rest and Restitution
"The Apostle Paul explains that the Law was a "shadow of good things to come," and that the experiences of the children of Israel "happened unto them as types, and are written for our admonition on whom the ends of the Ages have come" (Heb. 10:1; 1 Cor. 10:10, margin). Now...
Asher, (meaning “happy”) a class noted for cheerful constancy even in circumstances apparently not warranting such optimism. The stone the Onyx a stone in which the semitransparent-to-opaque layers are alternately white and dark humus (portraying “humility”) brown or black. It is similar to...
“The Master declared that twelve apostles were to be seated on twelve separate thrones or divisions of power in the Kingdom (Matt 19:28). In all, a total of twelve thousand saints will be assigned to each of twelve separate ranks (Rev 7:5–8).
Based on the scriptural information available...
THE RAPTURE: A SCRIPTURAL EXAMINATION
The popular doctrine of the secret rapture is that Christ will return to earth, unknown to the world, and will take those who have accepted salvation through him up to heaven before the “great tribulation.” The Left Behind series dramatically depicts the...
(The following extract was taken from The End Times Spring 2001 Issue # 16)
HOPE BEYOND ARMAGEDDON
The Left Behind series of religious novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, and the movies based upon these books promote an overly dramatic and sadistic view of end time prophecy. The authors...
THE JEWELS OF THE BREASTPLATE, THEIR ORDER AND SIGNIFICANCE
“Rare indeed are those individuals who, with constancy, ponder upon God’s name and meditate upon the precepts of His Holy Word, and who seek often the fellowship of kindred minds to converse one with another about the great and holy...
THE HIGH PRIEST BREASTPLATE
“You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it. It shall be doubled (folded over) into a square: a span...
“Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel in order of their birth, six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal, then mount the stones in gold filigree...
In this presentation we will be taking a look at the High Priest Garments and what they typified, keep in mind that what is illustrated here is merely the best facsimile of what is described in the texts from my own studies and that of other brethren, and is not meant to be an exact...
Excerpt taken from a discourse by Brother George Tabac Feb. 1990
The word Mystery or Mysteries comes from the Greek word Musterion and is used in the New Testament 27 times. Strong defines it as a secret or mystery imposed by initiation into a religious rite.
Vines Dictionary defines its...
Ability to love implies ability to hate; hence we may reason that the Creator could not make man in his own likeness, with power to love and to do right, without the corresponding ability to hate and to do wrong. This liberty of choice, termed free moral agency, or free will, is a part of man's...
THE PERMISSION OF EVIL AND ITS RELATION TO GOD'S PLAN
“The Scriptures declare that all things were created for the Lord's pleasure (Rev 4:11)--without doubt, for the pleasure of dispensing his blessings, and of exercising the attributes of his glorious being. And though, in the working out of...
“We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Cor 6:1, 2
Since we...
"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Cor 6:2; Isa 49:8
These words of the Apostle, quoted from the Prophet Isaiah, are generally understood to be a call to the world to improve the present opportunity of accepting Christ by faith in order to salvation, with...
But what if we chose not to take this second step at this time?
"Will he do nothing for me?"
"O, yes, he is prepared to deal with you as with all the remainder of the world; he is prepared to be your Mediator under the new covenant arrangement; he is prepared to bring you restitution to full...
In the following reply to a question concerning the difference between tentative justification and vitalized justification the Pastor explains a bit about consecration and the high calling. (Italics are mine.)
There are in fact two distinctive consecrations made by the believer, the first “a...
“The Ark of the Covenant or Ark of the Testimony was the only article of furniture in the Most Holy. (Heb 9:2–4 Diaglott footnote) Its name suggests that it illustrated the embodiment of Jehovah’s plan, which he had purposed in himself, before the beginning of the creation of God—before the...
