Our journey began in the ‘camp’ condition, even as it has been with all men that being with the exception of the Man Christ Jesus who alone was brought into this world, perfect and without sin. The ‘camp’, represents the state of all mankind, presently sinners all in need of atonement...

All the trials and difficulties which the Master underwent in laying down of his life preceded him as a sweet incense, a precious perfume, beyond the veil, into the Most Holy, as shown in the type.” (R 5712)
Many students of God’s Word have erroneously assumed that the Apostle’s statement found...
“But while Jesus, as a "new creature," was thus within the "Holy," enjoying the light of the golden candlestick, fed by the bread of truth, and offering acceptable incense to Jehovah, let us look out into the "Court," and yet farther out, beyond the "Camp," and see another work progressing...
“Then he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the LORD, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.” (Lev 16:12)
“Looking through the type to the antitype, (that is comparing the typical ceremony to the reality) let us now...
“And Aaron (representing our Lord) shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.” (Lev 16:9)

“Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it?” (Amos 3:6)

The Second Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Lord’s Goat”

The First Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Bullock”
“Thus shall Aaron (The High Priest) come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering…” (Lev 16:3)

“Lazarus represented the God-fearing people of other nations (the Gentiles) debarred, until the close of the Jewish Age, from those blessings conferred upon Israel specially. As the linen represented Israel's justification, so the sores represented moral defilement in this class, for whose...
“There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and...
The Book of Life
“...And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev 20:12
In our previous post we determined that the first set of books which were...
Under what law shall mankind be judged?
“...And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev 20:12
We will need to break this scripture apart in order...
Continuing from our previous post we return to our question, what will be the nature of the judgment, which shall befall mankind?
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the...
The nature of the judgement befalling mankind
Our next inquiry, would naturally be, what would be the nature of the judgment, which shall befall mankind? Is it something to be feared and dreaded by mankind as many have suggested? Once again let us turn to the scriptures to answer this question...
There are in fact two viewpoints of the Day of Atonement provided for us in the Scriptures, the first of which is describe in Leviticus Chapter 9 is taken from the standpoint of the flesh, from our viewpoint, while the other as describe in Leviticus Chapter 16 is as these sacrifices are viewed...
Continued from previous post.
We will now examine some more scriptures, which show a differentiation between the judgment of the world and that of the Church, and as to when they take place.
In Acts 17:31 it was stated that "…God… hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in...
The time of the Judgment
Let us now look at a seeming contradiction that some imagine implies that the judgment of the world is not in the millennial age, but is taking place now. John 12:31
“Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.”
