    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 20

    WHAT ELIJAH’S MANTLE MAY SIGNIFY "We answer; we believe that the peoples of earth, the public in general, are to be judged by the truth. The people are represented by waters. It would seem that in some way the people are to be judged and tested; and that a division of public sentiment is to be...

    Incarnation

    God did not die for our sins, He is immortal (death proof) and therefore cannot die; nevertheless justice demanded a life for a life. It was a perfect man who sinned therefore justice would require a perfect man as a substitute or corresponding price and so it was that He sent his only begotten...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 19

    It is expected that by this time (i.e. during the Hour of Trial) that the great signs and miraculous wonders first begun in the Church of England (the two horned beast which came up out of the earth, Rev 13:11, 13) would have spread throughout all of Christendom and that the False Prophet would...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 18

    In our previous post we mention how Elijah would come prior to the great and dreadful day of the Lord (the Day of Vengeance) NOT the literal Elijah, but the antitypical Elijah, the real or greater Elijah the true Church in the flesh and that as such they would fail in their efforts at turning...

    Strict monotheism cannot be a pragmatic hypothesis

    I would suggest you read the following: Why does God permit evil? The Permission of Evil The Great Mystery of Evil

    Elijah’s successor—Elisha, Part 2

    The "*sons of the prophets" (theologians) will disbelieve that the Elijah, the true Church has been taken; but upon the class who shall see (the Elisha class who believe it to be so), a double portion of the Elijah spirit comes. No wonder if this class becomes awake to the grandeur and...

    Elijah’s successor—Elisha, Part 1

    Before translating Elijah, the Lord arranged that he should prepare and instruct his successor, and sent him to Elisha as such. (1 Kings 19:16). So, if we have found Elijah to represent the over-comers, the "Bride" or "Body of Christ", we might reasonably infer that Elisha is the representative...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    This is a parable and does not in anyway support your God dishonoring and blasphemous doctrine of eternal torment as the wages of sin. Those who have descended into hell, the hell of the bible, Sheol i.e. the grave or pit are dead they are are not conscious of anything (Eccl 9:10), they don't...

    Incarnation

    Agreed, God has declared that the “wages of sin is death” (Rom 6:23), therefore in no way can he free the sinner from this sentence, the penalty must be fully met and that in accordance with the law which he himself has laid down as he expressed to Israel, “Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for...

    Elias Shall First Come, Part 2

    Here we present a side by side comparison of the life of Elijah with the history of the true church to help us more readily see the similarities between the two. These are striking coincidences, and we believe are not accidental, but with Jesus, we believe that to those (of the Israelite's)...

    Elias Shall First Come, Part 1

    The history of Elijah the prophet, called in the New Testament Elias, is one full of interest to us, not only because it is a history of a courageous and faithful servant of God, but because we believe that he was also a TYPE, and that, through the medium of his life, God has given us...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 17

    In order for us to get a good picture of the third group of individuals who will enter the great tribulation (viz., the Great Company or as some like to refer to them the Tribulation Saints) we will need to back track a bit and establish events leading up to this time. “Behold, I will send you...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 16

    In Part 5 of this study we mentioned three groups of individuals who would enter the great tribulation (specifically the final phase, Armageddon) two of whom would pass through it completely and one who would only go through its opening stages. 1) The Great Company 2) The nation of Israel...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 15

    Jacob’s Trouble continued It is conceivable that many of the great literal occurrences of the Old Testament will have a brief, concentrated, literal, limited application in Israel in Jacob’s Trouble to show it is the God of nature and the God of Israel who is manifesting power. Remember God’s...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 14

    Jacob’s Trouble continued Once again we note Ezek 38:19, 20 as it describes one of the ways in which God will be revealed during this trouble. “For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 13

    Jacob’s Trouble continued Ezekiel expresses it eloquently: "And it shall come to pass at the same time, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy, and in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken, surely, in that day...

    Alive or dead

    John was not actually Elijah, but he did come “in the spirit and power of Elijah” to do an Elijah work for Israel (Luke 1:17) to prepare them, and to introduced them to the Lord in the flesh at the first advent. In attempting to convert Israel and to prepare them to receive Messiah, John...

    Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

    The Transfiguration Scene (Matt 17:1-13, Parallel Account, Luke 9:28-36) Little did the disciples imagine that our Lord's statement: “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” (Matt 16:28), would be...

    Alive or dead

    Although you have the right idea that this is a future event, your mistake is in assuming that what is depicted in the vision is to be an actual or literal event which will take place. A "vision,” is not a reality, a vision is an active parable, and like in a parable where the thing said is...
