A great stumbling block to many believers is the idea that the Church will be raptured away prior to the great time of trouble. The scriptures however contradict this thought and show that the Church will still be here during the opening stages of the tribulation. Nahum 1:5-8 confirms this...

Why are the majority of believers unaware of the Lord’s presence at this time? There are a number of reasons. The number one reason is because the majority of professed Christians are in truth but Christians in name only, nominal Christians, neither begotten of the spirit nor led of the...

Matthew Chapter 24 Before we move on to our next verse we still have the question of the 120 years. What about the 120 years? 120 years prior to the flood the Lord warned Noah that the present age of mankind had but 120 years remaining before He would destroyed them from the face of the earth...

Matthew Chapter 24 Before we proceed on to Verse 45 in our Matthew study we should first like to present a bit more insight in regards to the “watches” mentioned in Luke 12:38, which we hope might aid some to a better appreciation of what is being referred to. We should also like to take...

Matthew Chapter 24 Once again we return to the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant” as taken from Luke Chapter 12. Verse 38 “And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.” A THOUSAND YEARS...ARE AS A...

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue once again with Luke Chapter 12 and the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant”. Verse 37 “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to...

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue once again with our look at the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant”, as we believe it will greatly aid us when we continue with our Matthew study. Luke 12 Verse 36 “And you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return...

Matthew Chapter 24 Before proceed to the next verse, we should like first to take a closer look at the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant” (Luke 12:35-40) that we might gain further insight on the significance of the “watches” eluded to both there and in Matt 24:43. This...

Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 43 KJV continued, “But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” In Luke 12:36–38 three time periods of expectation are suggested: “second...

Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 43 KJV continued, “But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” A comparison of Matt 12:29 reveals more facts in regards the binding of...

Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 43 KJV “But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” We have intentionally returned to Matt 24:43 in order to consider it in detail at this...

Matthew Chapter 24 In our last post we were discussing Luke 17:33 and its repercussions, viz. “Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” NOTE: this text is applicable only to the consecrated, those in covenant relationship with...

Matthew Chapter 24 Question: Is there a distinction between Noah and Lot? Noah was plainly shut in the Ark before the rain ever started, but Lot was leaving Sodom as the fire and brimstone were occurring, so wouldn’t Lot picture the Great Company? Answer: Yes. And Lot’s wife pictures the...

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue with our discussion on Verse 44 “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” In our previous post we were comparing the suddenness of the flood and that of trouble coming upon the present world with the suddenness with...

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue with our discussion on Verse 44 “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Verse 38: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the presence of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they...

Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 44 “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” What “coming” is Jesus referring to here? It is when he comes to get the last members to complete the Church for the marriage. In other words, this “coming” IS NOT in reference...

Matthew Chapter 24 As stated in our previous post Brother Shallieu’s interpretation of Verses 42-44 differs a little from that of the Pastor’s, but nothing I believe which would detract from the overall Harvest message in any way. It is important to remember that the brethren were not all given...

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 42 and 43 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.” The "master of the house" or...

Matthew Chapter 24 We return once again to Luke’s account, Verses 28-30 and 32, which parallel that of Matthew’s account. “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it...

In our previous post we mentioned how the majority of professed believers have never fully responded to the privileges afforded them at this time. IT IS IMPORTANT to understand that ONLY those who have fully consecrated themselves to the Lord have the merit of Christ’ righteousness imputed to...
