“Our citizenship is in heaven.” (Phil. 3:20) “Ye are not of this world.” (John 17:14) “Set your affections on things above and not on things of the earth.”
If we have changed our allegiance from this world to heaven, we are aliens and not citizens of this country, and should claim and use only...
A brother writes: In John 18:36 our Lord is recorded as saying “My Kingdom is not of this world”; we take this to mean that the consecrated have no part in the affairs of this world, as it is not our time to do so. When the Church is complete (head and body) then we will meddle in the affairs of...
In our previous post we took a look at the “Simple Ones”, simple ones were simply naive, unlearned those complacent with ignorance.
Now let us consider our next group, “scorners.”
Scorners (or mockers) are outwardly critical of others and they find fault when offered good advice. Scorners are...
As mentioned in our previous post there are three failing categories mention in our text:
“Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city (of Christendom) She speaks her words: “How long, you...
“Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city. She speaks her words: “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge.”...
B.--If death is the penalty for sin, has not mankind paid that penalty in full when dead? Might he not be released from death the moment after dying, yet fully meet the demand of justice?
A.--"The wages of sin is death,"--not dying, but "death" -- FOREVER.
As well say we might say that a man...
B.--I begin to see a harmony and beauty connected with the introduction of evil which I had not suspected. May we not reasonably say that God could not have displayed those qualities of his nature so attractive to us--mercy and pity--nor could his great love have been made so apparent had not...
A third brother now joins the discussion, Brother C.
C.--Brother A., may I interrupt you here to ask,
Why, if it was proper and wise that Adam should have a trial under the most favorable of circumstances, as a perfect man, should not all his posterity have a similarly favorable trial? We all...
"To make all see, what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God." "Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in...
A period of about six thousand years intervenes between the world’s first and second judgment days, and during this long period God has been selecting two special classes from among men, and specially trying, disciplining and training them to be his honored instruments during the period or day...
The coming judgment will be on exactly the same principles as were the first. The same law of obedience will be presented, with the same reward of life, and the same penalty of death. And as the first trial had a beginning, progressed, and culminated with a sentence, so also will the second; and...
In our previous post we mentioned how only the Church have as yet been reckoned freed from the originally condemnation which resides upon the world, and that only they are presently on trial for life or death at this time. But according to our theme text (Acts 17:31) He has likewise appointed...
The word “judgment” as used in John 5:29 “ the resurrection of judgment”, is from Strong’s # 2920, in the Greek, “krisis,” decision, a “turning point”, subjective or objective, for or against, a tribunal, the process of trying or testing the fitness, truth, strength, or other quality of a person...
This might appear at first glance to be a rather ill-timed study to present here during this festive season (Christmas), but this is only because of the many false ideas held by the Lord’s professed people in regards to this Day, many of which were fostered during the dark ages. The truth is the...
Symbolic Meaning of Matthew 24:30-31
Heaven and heavens are often symbolic of corrupt religious systems (2 Pet. 3:5-10; Isa. 34:5-4; Joel 2:9-11). See can denote mental perception (Luke 3:6; John 1:51; Rev. 19:10; Matt. 27:4, 24). Clouds often represent trouble as in Joel 2:1-2, a parallel text...
Mental Perception
Now let us consider more thoroughly Rev 7: 1 and Matt 24:30, which speak of all mankind seeing the returned Lord.
Are they literal or symbolic?
“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will...
“Having established scripturally (See our last two studies, “Signs of Christ’s Presence” and “I will Come Again”) that the second advent of Christ begins with a secret invisible presence which is discernible only by the eye of faith, and only to those members of the Church who are awake and...
"Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth"
Historically there is not a single Protestant concept of the Second Advent that has an unbroken lineage back to the time of the Reformation. Since that time, Bible-believing Christians have fluctuated among a number of conflicting concepts.
The purpose of...
Evangelical and Fundamentalist Consent to "Presence"
The Emphasized Bible translated by Rotherham is published by Kregel, an evangelical publishing house. Rotherham relates his struggle with the word parousia in the third edition of his translation. Although contrary to his theology, he...
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:3)
When this age-abiding promise was first uttered by Jesus to his apostles, it did not make sense. To the naturally minded men who followed Jesus, they...
