In the visions of the Apocalypse (Revelation) we read of a wonderful scroll in the right hand of the great King who sits upon the throne of universal dominion. This scroll is a forceful representation of the divine plan, originally existing only in the mind of God, and which could not be made...
Let us now consider our previous question, viz.,
Why should God continue his blessings, of which life is the chief, to those who after knowing and being enabled to conform to his just requirements, will not do so?
It is just: because God is under no obligation to man. Man is already his debtor...
Emerging from that blackness of error called Calvinism (with its heaven of blessing for the "little flock" and its eternal torment for all others, as taught by good but sadly deceived men – John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Charles H. Spurgeon and others – ) into the glorious light of the goodness...
Destroying Your Temple—Your Body
There are many suicide lifeline and prevention agencies available out there who work tirelessly, ensuring that people get the right help they need, trained workers and health professionals who are ready to listen, chat and provide support for people at risk of...
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 destroy them from the face of the earth (Gen 6:13). Noah then immediately commenced to warn his contemporaries of this impending judgement...
The following we add as a supplement to this study as it coincides with our study here. It was taken from our study on Matthew Chapter 24, “Our Lord’s Great Prophecy”
We would like here to present a bit more insight in regards to the “watches” mentioned in Luke 12:38, which we hope might aid...
"THEY WITHOUT US SHALL NOT BE MADE PERFECT."
– Heb 11:40. –
We remark, incidentally, that following the gathering of the Church to glory, as peviously outlined, will come the resurrection of the holy ones of the past, – "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the holy prophets," whose resurrection...
"BLESSED THE DEAD WHO DIE."
Furthermore, we note a beautiful analogy here; for, thus considered, our Lord's resurrection a few days after his taking of office as King in typical Israel, corresponds to, or parallels the resurrection of the Church, "the body of Christ" a few days after his taking...
THEY KNEW NOT THE TIME OF THEIR VISITATION.
– LUKE 19:44. –
Our Lord reproved the teachers of Israel because they did not discern the signs of the times; because they "knew not the TIME of their visitation." His words imply that their ignorance was a mark of carelessness and unworthiness, and...
In our previous post, Part 12 we noted:
"In reading the narrative of our Lord's appearance to his disciples after his resurrection, the fact seems generally to be overlooked that he appeared only a few times, in all, and that these visits were always brief, and that between these visits, after...
THE LORD’S WORK FORESHOWN IN HIS PARABLES.
(We have reposted this blog post, because it was inadvertently deleted, sorry for the inconvenience to those follwing this study.)
His work is clearly outlined in various of his parables, which were given that the Watchers might know – might not be in...
This is something I haven't attempted to do, mostly because I am still unfamiliar with some of the names given to certain sets of gym exercises but I feel it's time to write out my progam I do at the gym. I normally go four times a week. The first of the week I will work on exercises relating to...
"THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT."
We call to mind also our Lord's explanation of spiritual things to Nicodemus, in which he declared plainly that only those who are born again can either enter into, or SEE the Kingdom of God (because as we had previously seen this is a spiritual...
PRESENCE GRADUALLY REVEALED.
In our previous post we drew the line of distinction between the parousia and the epiphania or apokalupsis of our Lord, quite sharply, to assist the reader in noting their difference of signification. As a matter of fact, however, the bright shining of the present...
Rescue From The Sea
I had a revelation in the form of an open vision today. In this vision, I saw a man in the water from the boat I was in, so I threw him a life line and held on to the other end, thinking that he would climb out and into the boat, but he was not ready to pull himself up. He...
PAROUSIA IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
The word parousia occurs in the following texts of the New Testament in each of which it should be properly translated "presence:" –
"What shall be the sign of thy presence?" – Matt 24:3
"So shall also the presence of the Son of Man be." – Matt 24:27,37,39...
Groom Without A Bride:
In my dream, I saw a man wearing what appeared to be a white wedding suit. It was unusual because it had a very thin, black, widely spaced, plaid design across it
The man was holding a bouquet of flowers.
It had maiden hair, gerbers and other flowers made up and bunched...
The Black Horse:
The dream began with a black Horse standing in front of me, staring intently in my direction. He was beautiful, tall and black and had a long black mane and tail. He spoke without words, daring me to come and sit on his back. I thought about, how I have not been on a horse for...
Gazing At The Stars
I was sitting on a precipice of some kind, very high up and it was night time. The stars were out in their full glory and I could see them surrounding me like I had a 360 view.. As I looked out at them, I seemed insignificant in comparison to everything that God had made and...
Walking In The Snow
I was walking down a snow covered slope making my way to the bottom and I was wearing snow shoes.
As I trudged through the snow, a skier came whizzing past me down the slope, then another but I kept walking till I got to a tobbogan. I thought that I may make more progress...
