Revelation Chapter 9 VERSE 17 “And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.” This, and the next...

Revelation Chapter 9 VERSE 15 “So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.” The implications of this verse must be viewed carefully. These angels are prepared for a very specific time and work, but they are...

Having concluded our look at the Sixth seal and how it portrays conditions consistent to the rise of the Beast “THAT WAS” we now continued on with our investigation to see what THE SIXTH TRUMPET has to say on these matters. Keep in mind the object of the trumpets is not the same as that of the...

Revelation Chapter 7 VERSE 1 “After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.” FOUR ANGELS: These angels are said to be holding back the winds. The...

THE SIXTH SEAL OPENED Revelation Chapter 6 continued VERSE 14 “Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.” “The sky receded (departed, split)” Translators seem to disagree on the meaning of the word. Strong’s seems to...

Having now we hope gain an idea somewhat of the arrangement of the seven stages of the church and their subsequent seals and trumpets we are now prepared to examine in more detail the Scriptural account of the rise of the Beast “THAT WAS” its subsequent disappearance, (its “IS NOT” condition)...

Continued from our previous post, This might be a good time (if you have not done already) to mark your Bibles so that each of the Churches, Seals, and Trumpets are clearly visible to your eye as you look through Revelation. Personally I have far too many notes scribbled all over my pages to be...

In our previous post we mentioned how the French Revolution brought to life the Beast “THAT WAS” and what some of the specific causes and results were. We likewise mentioned how the revolution was brought to an end when the military under Napoleon Bonaparte came to power, and as such the Beast...

“The beast THAT WAS, and is not; and is about to come …” Another one of the leading causes that brought life to the beast “THAT WAS”: 10) Disregard for the laws of the land. “When the government’s monopoly of power is effectively challenged by groups who no longer recognize its legitimate...

“The beast THAT WAS, and is not; and is about to come …” Other leading causes that brought life to the beast “THAT WAS”: 7) Freedom of the Press, 8) Hate mongers and revolutionary agitators abound, 9) The Fires of Revolution and are stoked, “In early May of 1789, a lawyer named Maximillian...

“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...
