WHY MEN DIE It is a principle of God's law that every perfect, righteous creature is entitled to life. It follows that every unrighteous creature has no legal right to life. God enforced his judgment against Adam in a gradual manner, viz. -- by forcing Adam out of Eden, where the food was...

THE PENALTY OF THE LAW "God said to Adam, “but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Gen 2:17) If the soul is immortal, then God did not mean what he said, because an immortal creature could not be put to...

It is our position that, the scriptures clearly teach that the dead are unconscious between the moment of death and the moment of awakening to the resurrection. If this proposition is not affirmatively true, as stated, then we must conclude: 1. That man, after death, continues mentally active...

This study was raised due to some erroneous assumptions being made on this forum concerning the whereabouts of the dead following death, with some believing they go immediately to heaven or to hell. Excerpts for this study came from a debate entitled “Where are the Dead?” Now both the heathen...

Will the ancient worthies be in relationship with God during the millennial age? “Yes, the ancient worthies will be in covenant relationship with God through the New Covenant, through the Mediator of the New Covenant, throughout the millennial age; but they will not be in any personal, direct...

Were the Ancient Worthies on trial for life? “The Ancient Worthies were not on trial for life or death; they were never brought to that condition of intelligent opportunity for eternal life which would make them amenable to a sentence of death. Such a condition of knowledge and opportunity did...

Now from our previous post we understand that the nation of Israel is to be God’s specially chosen agency through whom the rest of the world may receive restituional blessings, but whom precisely will govern? Who will be the Lord’s earthly representatives, the ones speaking for the Lord...

How exactly will the other nations who survived Armageddon receive the same blessing as the “holy remnant” of Israel is receiving? “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘IN THOSE DAYS (when the earthly phase of the kingdom is established) ten men (representing all other nations of the earth that will...

As you recall in Part 6 of our study it was suggested that: “Restitution blessings (the restoring of all things, Acts 3:19-21) will begin with the generation living at the time of the inauguration of the Mediator's Kingdom. Who specifically will these consist of? This would encompass all who...

Heavens first law is order “For as all in Adam die, even so shall all in Christ be made alive, but each one in his own order: Christ the first-fruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming (parousia: presence).” 1 Cor 15:22, 23 As ALL of Adam’s posterity were counted in as sharers in...

MUST ADAM FIRST BE REDEEMED? Accepting the Scriptural presentation that "By one man's disobedience sin entered into the world, and death as a result of sin, and thus death passed upon all men, for that all are sinners" (Rom. 5:12-19); accepting also the declaration of Scripture, "As by man came...

Revelation Chapter 6 The First Seal continued VERSE 1 and 2 “Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see. And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given...

BAPTIZED INTO MOSES--BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST If the Church is to be members of the great Mediator, why is not Israel, who was baptized into Moses, (1 Cor. 10:1, 2) thus, made members of the Mediator of the Law Covenant? The Divine arrangement which used Moses, Aaron, the tribe of Levi and all...

The same expression, "after those days," mentioned in Jeremiah’s prophecy (31:33), occurs in connection with Joel's prophecy of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through him the Lord declares the ultimate pouring out of the Divine blessing, the Holy Spirit, upon all flesh; but he informs us...

"AFTER THOSE DAYS I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT" In Jeremiah 31:33 we read, "After those days," as setting a date for the New Covenant. Why is this? And what "days" must precede the making of the New Covenant? God foretold that if Israel would be faithful he would bless them in every sense of...

“Hearken again to the Apostle’s discussion of the matter with the Galatians. He says, "This I say, that the [Abrahamic] Covenant, that was confirmed ("previously ratified"--Strong's Lexicon) before of God in Christ, the Law [Covenant], which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot...

What answer should be given to those who endeavor to "teach" that the Abrahamic Covenant, which had no mediator, was merely a promise on God's part and not a Covenant at all? They claim that God's promise to Abraham was merely a preliminary statement and that the New Covenant was sealed and...
