Because seven was so intimately connected with all God’s works and plans, and because he intended all his works to culminate in perfection, therefore, when he selected Israel as a typical people, he gave them several Sabbaths or rests which shadowed certain blessings of rest in future, and as...

“An idea sometimes becomes so imbedded in our minds, so much a part of ourselves, as that we can scarcely part with it. Yet how many of our ideas we have found it necessary to modify, the reason doubtless being that presently we see as through looking through a smoked glass, dimly. To very many...

“God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 We learned this text so long ago, some of us in childhood, and have heard it so often, that we are now apt to read or hear it without noticing...

One day is with the Lord as a thousand years. (2 Pet 3:8). The seventh thousand (or Sabbath – “the seventh day is the Sabbath“) commenced in 1873, consequently we are now in the Sabbath day of our text: Pray (desire) that your flight (out of Babylon, nominal Zion) be not on the Sabbath. The...

The above subject (Luke 17:31) is found with other connections in Matt 24:17-21, viz: “Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house…and woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! But pray you that your flight be not in the...

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...
