Revelation Chapter 2
The First Church

“The word translated “patience” (in Verse 3) signifies a development of heart and character manifesting itself in an endurance of wrong or affliction with contentment, without...
Revelation Chapter 2
The First Church
VERSE 1 continued, “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write…
This is the import of the first phrase with which Jesus introduces Himself to Ephesus:
“…These things say He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the...
Revelation Chapter 2
The First Church
VERSE 1 “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write…
Once again Ephesus signifies “first” or “desirable,” and is characteristic of the first period of church history. Contemporaneous with the lives of the apostles and sometimes designated the...
QUALIFICATIONS for BEING ONE of the SEVEN ANGELS
Much discussion has gone into naming the seven messengers (angels) to the seven Churches. On the whole, Bible students have been in basic agreement as to the identities of these individuals. Now and then, however, some of us may feel a bit...
Revelation Chapter 2
The First Church, Seal and Trumpet
Having studied the introductions to the seven Church’s, Seals and Trumpets we are now prepared to begin our look at each particular series.
It is important that we remember what we learned earlier in this study. Evidence shows us that...
Matthew Chapter 24
Verse 50 and 51 “The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
“Weeping and gnashing...
Matthew Chapter 24
Verse 48 and 49 “But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, my lord delays his coming; and shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken.”
If the “faithful and wise servant” is an individual, then so is the “evil servant.” Although...
Matthew Chapter 24
An explanation of what we Bible Students refer to when we mention the Reprints or Volumes.
* The Watch Tower Reprints referred simply as the “Reprints” by Bible Students have been a useful treasure house of information for the Bible Students since they constitute a...
Matthew Chapter 24
“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
Verse 47 “Verily I say unto you, that he shall make him ruler over all his...
“Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees”
This lesson coincides with our lesson in Matthew 24:45, and will in time when once we return to our study of the Book of Revelation on the Seven Church’s, Seals and Trumpets likewise bare upon it, however it was originally presented on the Bible...
Matthew Chapter 24
Verse 45-46 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
We present another examination of these verses as explained by...
Matthew Chapter 24
Dispensing of Food to the Household
VERSE 45-47 " "Who then is the faithful and prudent servant, whom his Master has placed over his household to give them food in due season? Happy that servant whom his Master, on coming, shall find thus employed! Indeed I say to you that...
The lie which deceived in Eden--"Thou shalt not surely die"--has been the teaching of the devil through all generations since. He has taught it to all heathen peoples, and among those who are God's children--Christians--he has succeeded in getting many to believe him instead of God. But since...
C. Can we go further and learn God's plan relative to Satan, the tempter?
A.--Our only source of information on the subject is the Bible, and its accounts, while brief, are to the point, and furnish us all requisite information. Scriptures refer to evil spirits as "legion," or a multitude under...
C.--Does not the race get back, in the second Adam, spiritual life?
A.--Certainly not; Adam was not a spiritual but a human being, consequently had human life and powers, which were declared "very good” i.e. perfect."
The consecrated are the only ones warranted by the word of God in expecting...
C.--If justice could not let mankind go free from death, how could Jesus be permitted to live if he became man's substitute? Must not his life be forever forfeited?
A.--It was forever forfeited--he never took the same life back again. He was quickened (made alive) to a higher life by the...
C.--Do you understand the Scriptures to teach that all mankind will reach and maintain the perfection of life which Adam lost-- which you called "everlasting life?"
A.--It would seem as though such love, when seen, would beget love and obedience; but we are assured there is a second death, and...
C.--If ransomed, why do they remain in death, and others die, since Christ has paid the price?
A.--But the price is not yet fully paid. To have a clear understanding of God's plan, we must recognize the distinction which he makes between the world in general and the Church, or called-out ones...
C.--Was everlasting life one of the things possessed by Adam before he sinned, and which he lost in death; and is it to be restored to mankind through Christ's ransom?
A.--YES; his continuance of life, if obedient, is implied in the threatening of death if disobedient. Adam, when created...
In our last post the question was asked by Brother C. as to,
How the life of one could purchase the life of many?
A.--By the rule of SUBSTITUTION
Rather than try each individual separately (the Lord knowing that they would all fail eventually for the very same reasons that Adam failed) chose...
