Consider carefully the scriptures that are used to teach eternal torment. Do not imagine that a study of such scriptures is too elementary, for though convinced the doctrine of eternal torment is false, many mature Bible Students cannot readily explain the scriptures used to support the...
The following is a Checklist for Interpreting Scripture
This list of tests may be applied to interpretations of scripture to help determine its real meaning. You may think of other tests also.
Does it square with the ransom?
Is it in accordance with the divine plan?
Is the scripture...
The following excerpt was taken from a discourse by Brother Robert S. Seklemian entitled, “Thus Saith the Lord”
“Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures; and said unto them, Thus it is written.”--Luke 24:45, 46
The expression, “Thus saith the Lord,” is...
THE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH
The ultimate consequence of not responding to the call, and not putting on a wedding garment, is "weeping and gnashing of teeth." This difficult phrase appears seven times in the New Testament — six times in Matthew, once in Luke. The account in Luke provides...
THE WEDDING GARMENT
A crucial point in the parable is the absence of a wedding garment. There has been much speculation as to the source of the wedding garment. Some declare it was the custom in Jesus’ day to present wedding guests with garments. However there is little evidence to support such...
TWO CRISIS
In the parable Jesus dramatized two crises his followers must experience. THE FIRST CRISIS is God’s calling, viz.
“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”(1...
“And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. Again, he sent out other servants...
In order to objectively distinguish accuracy of the English versions of the Bible, lists of corrections to the AV were prepared before evaluating any translation. Corrections included care with verb tenses, nouns, and punctuation, doctrinally sensitive texts, consistent translation, use of...
This information comes from an excellent article entitled, “How to Choose a Bible Translation” by James Parkinson
“Which translation of the Bible is best for the devoted Christian? How faithful is it to the Word of God in the original Hebrew/Aramaic or Greek? How much should the Christian...
Then follows the message to those on the left--"Depart from me ye cursed (condemned)"--condemned, as unfit vessels for the glory and honor of life, which chose not to yield to the molding and shaping influences of divine love. When these my brethren (the world of mankind then raised) were...
The dead nations when again brought into existence will need food, and raiment, and shelter. However great may have been their possessions in this life, death will have brought all to a common level; the infant and the old man, the millionaire and the pauper, the learned and the unlearned, the...
The gradual work of separating sheep and goats will require all of the Millennial Age for its accomplishment. During that age, each individual as he comes gradually to knowledge of God and his will, by conforming or not conforming thereto takes his place at the right hand of favor, or the left...
APPLICATION OF THIS PARABLE
Next follows a description of the work of the Millennial Age. "Before Him shall be gathered all nations" This means all the people of the world outside of the Lord's holy nation, His peculiar people, the Church. Everybody except the Church will be before His great...
“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right...

The scriptures speak of a “Great” earthquake yet to come (Rev 16:18; Ezek 38:19, 20), and although this is SYMBOLIC of the “great time of trouble” soon approaching, with its eruption (earthquake) of revolution and turmoil leading to anarchy, wherein every man’s...

Lately I have come to see more and more signs that point to the fact that the end is near, even at the doorsteps, that it merely awaits the right spark (the first event) or catalyst to set it off, in fact the world seems to be in anticipation of this, however...

The following is a list of events we believe are shortly to come about leading up to the end of this age and the beginning of the next. Now although we are assured that all these events will take place what we’re not so sure of is their exact order of...
Considering the fact that we now live in a time in which “strange children” (Hosea 5:7) i.e. the tares far outnumber the wheat, the true children of God, and that likewise the great company (the “foolish virgins”) outnumber what remains of the “little flock” this side of the vail it is not hard...

VERSE 41 “The Son of man (A title of high honor, a reminder of his obedience, even to the death of the cross, by which he secured the title to the honor, dignity and power of the divine nature) shall send (Christ is superintending the harvest; he sends) forth his...

VERSE 36 “Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us (A special request for interpretation) the parable (In every parable explained by our Lord, the thing said is never the thing meant.) of...
