Continued from previous post. VERSE 5, 6 “Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.” Another class upon which the...

"On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he...

“Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it?” (Amos 3:6) Where did evil originate? Is God the author of evil? “The word evil in the text cited has the meaning in the Hebrew language of adversity. These evils or...

“Lazarus represented the God-fearing people of other nations (the Gentiles) debarred, until the close of the Jewish Age, from those blessings conferred upon Israel specially. As the linen represented Israel's justification, so the sores represented moral defilement in this class, for whose...

“There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and...

The Book of Life “...And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev 20:12 In our previous post we determined that the first set of books which were...

Under what law shall mankind be judged? “...And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev 20:12 We will need to break this scripture apart in order...

Continuing from our previous post we return to our question, what will be the nature of the judgment, which shall befall mankind? “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the...

The nature of the judgement befalling mankind Our next inquiry, would naturally be, what would be the nature of the judgment, which shall befall mankind? Is it something to be feared and dreaded by mankind as many have suggested? Once again let us turn to the scriptures to answer this question...

Continued from previous post. We will now examine some more scriptures, which show a differentiation between the judgment of the world and that of the Church, and as to when they take place. In Acts 17:31 it was stated that "…God… hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in...

The time of the Judgment Let us now look at a seeming contradiction that some imagine implies that the judgment of the world is not in the millennial age, but is taking place now. John 12:31 “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” Most authorities...

“For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?” VictoryinJesus asked: Are we not judged by the work of Christ? 1 Pet 4:17 “the end of them that obey not the gospel of God.” What...

VictoryinJesus asked: I’ve read part 1, 2, and 3 and have so many questions. I won’t ask them all here but one that is really bugging me. Maybe I’ve misunderstood but you seem to be saying there are steps one must do to earn grace. There are no steps to earn God’s grace; it is a free gift, an...

The Judgment of the World We will now take a look at our second scripture, Acts 17:31 God "…hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath risen him from the dead.”...

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God, and if it first begins with us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 1 Pet 4:17 Our word judgment may be properly applied to not only the process of the trial, but also to the result of the trial that...

Judgment begins with the House of God In this study we will be looking at several different judgments, which are recorded in the Bible. Our aim is to find out when these judgments take place, and to whom exactly they apply. The first thing we need in order to avoid any misunderstandings and/or...

We have now shown three different types of resurrections that will take place, 1) Those who take part in The First Resurrection, resurrected to the divine nature, Immortality, instantaneously, the first-fruits 2) The faithful of the pass, justified by faith, who have an instantaneous...

We have previously shown two types of resurrections The First Resurrection, the resurrection unto life, which will consist of only the faithful over-comers of the Gospel age, and the resurrection of judgment, or of the unjust, which will be for the remainder of mankind during the millennial...

The First Resurrection (Continued from our previous post.) The Church as joint-heirs with their Lord have been begotten “…to an inheritance incorruptible, (immortal), and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you…” 1 Pet 1:4 “And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye...

The First Resurrection We will now show from the scriptures that there are three different types of resurrections mention in the scriptures. By “type” of course we mean the manner or way in which the resurrection is to take place. First off we have already shown that there is to be a...
