In our previous post we mentioned how the majority of professed believers have never fully responded to the privileges afforded them at this time. IT IS IMPORTANT to understand that ONLY those who have fully consecrated themselves to the Lord have the merit of Christ’ righteousness imputed to...

In our previous the question was raised as to whom the “good” of the world were who would survive Armageddon, we had alluded to this in Parts 12 and 16 of this study intending to come back to it later. The question we had asked in Part 16 was: Who exactly are the “good” (not just the innocent...

With the burning of the tares there will be no one left who will dare make the claim of being a saint, a Christian, a true follower of Christ for all the true followers of Christ will have been made manifest having been taken from the earth by the apostate church, proving that all the rest were...

In our previous post we mentioned that once the Church has been taken from the earth the Great Company class, that is those so enlightened, those in possession of a “double portion” of Elijah’s spirit (2 Kings 2:9, 10) will give a final testimony before they too (along with all the rest of their...

In this study we mentioned three particular groups comprised of both good and bad individuals who would enter the great tribulation period: 1) The Great Company 2) The nation of Israel 3) The world of mankind In regards to the first group, the Great Company class (a spirit begotten class...

In our previous post we were in the process of mentioning some of the things which have already taken place and or are in the process of taking place during this the “Day of the Lord” (the millennial or thousand year day), as well as those things which have yet to have taken place during this...

The purpose of this study was to address the following statements made by one of our forum members, which we believe contradict the teachings of the scriptures: “Following the Lord’s Second Advent the earth is to be destroyed, empty, darkened, silent, and devoid of all life (except for Satan...

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 40 and 41 “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken and the other left." Whither Gathered--the Attraction Here is where we jump back to that earlier verse we skipped in our...

Matthew Chapter 24 Continuing the previous post on the things due during the day of the revelation of our Lord's 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.” (Luke 17:34...

Matthew Chapter 24 Luke 17:31-33 continued, “In that day (the day when the Son of Man is revealed), he which shall be upon 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...

Matthew Chapter 24 We return to Luke’s account once again. Luke 17:26 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Compare the “days” (plural) that Noah was present with the “day” (singular) that the Flood came and fire and brimstone. During the days...

Matthew Chapter 24 “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the presence [Greek parousia] of the Son of Man be.” (Matt 24:37) Here Jesus’ “presence” (parousia) is compared to Noah’s 120-year presence prior to the Flood. Of course Noah lived for more than 120 years prior to the flood, 600...

Matthew Chapter 24 Continued from previous post. And as it was in the days of Noah so… likewise also in the days of Lot, they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and...

Matthew Chapter 24 As in the Days of Noah, "They Knew Not" VERSE 37-39 KJV “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the presence [Greek parousia] of the Son of Man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the...

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 35 and 36 “Heaven and earth [the present ecclesiastical and social order] will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Compare this with the words of Mark (13:32, 33)...

JESUS ALONE THE RANSOMER It would not be correct to say that the scapegoat class atones for sin and thus make it possible for a certain part of humanity to be brought forth from the tomb. The tomb represents the penalty upon Adam for his transgression, and this penalty has been inherited by all...

Account Paid in Full In our previous post we alluded to the fact that the Great Company will play a pivotal role in God’s plan, that it is his purpose to use them to compensate for the willful sins of humanity, sins committed against evident light. “Divine Justice must be fully satisfied...

The Great Company, continued Now we understand that some may have difficulty in accepting the fact that the Great Company is a heavenly class (especially among our JW friends), it appears some do not fully comprehend the significance of the surrender of one’s restituional life rights. We...

The Great Company, continued In the tabernacle picture, “the scapegoat was charged with the iniquities of the children of Israel, but was not put to death, and the blood was not taken into the Most Holy. This shows that the scapegoat was not a sacrifice for sins. Instead, the scapegoat was...

The Great Company “Our thought is that Elisha typifies two classes: first he typifies those associated with the Elijah class (the Great Company); and secondly after the taking of Elijah up in the whirlwind and re-crossing the Jordan (picturing the death of the Great Company) he becomes a type...
