Again, we have found the word to teach that the Jewish age was given as a pattern, or shadow, or illustration of the Gospel age, and we have found it so. The latter being on a higher plane than the former, but otherwise its exact counterpart. It was 1840½ years from the beginning of the age to...

W. Now we will glance hurriedly at some of the evidences that we are NOW in “the days of the Son of Man.” I will not attempt to prove the points of time. Q. I have followed you so far, and can agree with your position fully, but when you come to prove that Jesus is now present and ask me to...

“THIS SAME JESUS SHALL SO COME IN LIKE MANNER.” Q. Now with regard to Jesus’ second coming, does not this text, ‘You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven’...

Q. If Jesus after his resurrection was a glorious spiritual body, how was it that the disciples never saw his glorious body? Why did he appear to them as he had done before his death? W. If Jesus had appeared to them and shown his glory, they would probably have been so alarmed as to be unable...

At what point will the Spirit’s work for Christians be complete? We answer, not until we are born of the Spirit. Our Head – the Lord Jesus Christ – was born of the Spirit more than 2000 years ago, and we as members of His body must and will follow Him into the same life, and by the same power...

P. 42 – “Angels, or spiritual beings have the power to appear in different forms…. Hence, fallen angels can appear in the form and character of any person they choose to represent, as easily as Christ could appear as a gardener, stranger, or with pierced hands and side. It is useless to deny...

That the Jews will remember and turn unto the Lord, after their restoration, is clearly taught in both Old and New Testament prophecies. The Hebrew word translated heathen; like the Greek word rendered Gentile, means nation. “But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had...

“For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? Rom 11:15 Bible students of the past, as well as those of the present day, have noticed that the dispersion, and ultimate restoration of the Jewish nation – literal Israel – is...

Leviticus Chapter 9 Verse 15: “And he brought the peoples’ offering and took the goat which was the sin-offering for the people, and slew it and offered it for sin as the first,” (the calf.) This goat of the sin offering, we think, represents the church, which, by faith and obedience even unto...

Leviticus Chapter 9 As we found in Leviticus Chapter 16, a detailed account of the work of the great day of atonement, so in Chapter 9, we have a brief outline of the same which shows some of the features of the work quite prominently. Chapter 8, closes with an account of the seven days (or...

"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which shall try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you, but rejoice, inasmuch as you are part-takers of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory shall be revealed ye may be glad also with exceeding joy." (1 Pet 4:12). Since...

In the type it was not the sufferings of the bullock or goat, but the DEATH, by which an atonement was affected, though they suffered, of course, because death involves suffering. "The Man, Christ Jesus," "tasted death for every man," by being crucified – a gradual or lingering death – but the...

The bullock having been slain, its body was taken outside the camp and burned with fire; representing that when Jesus died for our sins, his flesh life was counted as though sinful and consumed. "His flesh saw not corruption" yet his flesh life was destroyed. "He took upon him the form of a...

“Thus, Aaron shall come into the Holy Place: with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering.” Lev 16:3 In considering this type we must, to appreciate it, remember that it is a picture by itself, of one particular part, of the work of the World's High...

"Then (at the time that when Adventist and others were awakening and looking for the bridegroom’s arrival) all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps." Their lamps once pointed them to A.D. 1844, but He "tarried." A cry is now made that the tarrying time was thirty years (from A.D. 1844 to...

Unlike many of our Lord's parables this one is placed and fixed by the word "then." Taken in connection with the preceding Chapter (Chapter 24), it is fixed as belonging to the last generation of the church living when the Lord comes. The kingdom of heaven is a term applicable to the church...

But would it be right for God to reckon the one righteous life given, as a full payment for the lives of the millions of sinners who have died? Does not the price – one, for a billion or more – seem like a short payment? This is a reasonable question, and we will allow Paul to give it a...

But when will the law of God release the sinner from the bondage of death? Never; if he could not obey the law while partially dead, he certainly cannot when completely so. Ever since the "fall" from perfect manhood through sin, man has been in a dying condition, sometimes spoken of as already...
