Continuing the above discourse on the things due during the day of the revelation of his presence, Jesus says: “I tell you in that night (before the day has dawned yet a part of that day) there will be two in a bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two will be grinding together; the one...

Among Christians there is much which passes for “entire consecration,” but it is often a consecration to some self-imposed tasks, or work, instead of to God. Some are consecrated and are living sacrifices to business, some to their families, some to the temperance work, some to building up and...

The following request was sent to the Pastor, which he allowed his wife to answer. (We have edited it here a bit, but have not changed the questions or answers.) Are we to expect revivals and the conversion of sinners now? Are we to labor for this result? Is the church coming up higher...

“In the day that the Son of man is revealed; in that day, he which shall be on the housetop and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it...

Can the promises to Abraham be fulfilled? We think so – let us see. We read (Gen 12:1-3), “Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country [Chaldea] and from thy kindred and from thy father’s house, unto a land which I will shew thee, and I will make of thee a great nation, (we...

THE NEW JERUSALEM is a figure of the coming kingdom of God. It represents, we believe, both spiritual and earthly beings. When first seen (Rev 21:2.) it contains only the bride, it has not reached earth yet – it is “coming down from God out of heaven,” (Coming into power and control). From the...

“Art thou greater than our father Abraham which is dead and the prophets are dead? Whom makes thou thyself?” John 8:53. In being born of a virgin, Jesus had taken “the seed of Abraham” and so continued until he was 30 years of age when, in baptism he consecrated his being to God a living...

“Many are familiar with the outline of God’s plan as embodied in the three worlds, – The world that was before the flood, the world that now is, and the world to come. This is a striking example of the fundamental character of the number three in the structure of the Bible plan of revelation and...

Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us, therefore let us keep the feast. 1 Cor 5:7 The Passover was a Jewish feast kept annually (and is still observed by them) as a commemoration of their remarkable deliverance under the tenth plague upon Egypt – the Passing-over or sparing from death of...

We would like here to respond to a blog post made by Mosheli entitled “Why it is hard to love God” Mosheli states: “Although I am a Christian/Messianic I find it very difficult to love God because (1) he made everyone unequal, small and great, beautiful and ugly, and made some of us just dumb...

Those who will first recognize the millennial day as begun, and its sun of righteousness as having risen, the kingdom of God as having been “set up,” or commenced its reign, will be the “great company who go through the coming time of trouble and come up (to the family condition, as partakers of...

TO WHOM DO WE APPEAR? This is a question of interest. The type (Lev 9:23) shows that the appearing is to “all the people.” Their typical priest so appeared and so blessed “all the people” for whom the sin offerings (plural) had been made. Israel being the type of the world as the house of Aaron...

“As it was appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him, shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Heb 9:27-28. Perhaps no other text of scripture has ever been more widely...

What will be raised up, in the resurrection? The body says someone. Not so I answer, it is the BEING that God promises to raise up. It once existed, and lost existence and is to be raised up to existence or being again. Men, can resurrect a body from the tomb (that is, bring a body out of a...

The death and resurrection of a human body as a thing distinct and separate from the intelligent being, is never mentioned in the Scriptures. We never read that Abraham’s body died, nor that Jesus’ body died, nor that any one’s body died. Being signifies existence, and there can be no being or...
