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...

Anastasis--Resurrection “We find that while men use the word resurrection in a very general way, the Bible uses the Greek word anastasis, represented by our English word resurrection, in a very particular manner. The common view of the doctrine of resurrection is shown by Webster's definition...

Having in our study entitled “The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant” considered those who will participate in the Resurrection of Life, i.e. the Church, the great company and the Ancient Worthies, we will now consider those who will take part in the Resurrection of...

In order to qualify for the great salvation one must first have participated in the common salvation. One must first have become a believer, been justified from the Adamic curse through faith in the finished work of Christ before they could present themselves an acceptable sacrifice to the...

"To make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery." (Eph. 3:3-6, 9.) To show men the conditions upon which they might become sharers with Jesus, joined to the body of Christ, the true Church, to see the method of administration or operation of the mystery by which they might become sharers...

"In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound [i.e. in the forepart of his sounding,] the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets." (Rev 10:7) It is our understanding that we are now living in the days of the voice of...

From what we have gleamed from some of the statements found on this forum under the thread: The Mystery Revealed to Paul it is evident that there exist a lot of confusion over just what constitutes the “mystery” being spoken of by the Apostle Paul in Eph 3:1-12 with some imagining he was simply...

The Bible does not divulge the exact length of each creative day, but there are indications that each of the creative days was 7,000 years in length. Although there are those who would have us believe that the “days” of creation were literal twenty-four-hour days they were not; they were eras of...

The Days of Creation The whole premise behind the idea that each of the creative “days” were of a literal 24 hour duration is unfounded, it is based upon the erroneous assumption that God Himself is subject to time, to the same time restraints he placed upon man. With God time is not reckoned...

VICTORY OVER DEATH Then, "when this corruption shall have put on incorruption, and when this mortal shall have put on immortality," shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory." (1 Cor 15:54) Was death a good thing? No! Whose victory is this...

HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED? The apostle then discusses the matter of the body (1 Cor 15:35-38), and says, "But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” He IS NOT speaking of how are bodies raised up, but "How are the dead raised up." He is speaking of the...
