    The Study of Revelation

    The professed Church of Christ at its inception and for the most part all throughout the Ephesus stage (the first stage of the Church) and the Smyrna (the second stage) was pure. While the Apostles were present and with the gift of discernment of spirits at their disposal they were able to...

    Jack Van Impe and Hal Lindsey=World's Best Bible Prophecy Teachers!!

    You mean world's best science fiction writers don't you?. I used to follow Hal Lindsey that is until the Lord called me out of that darkness into his marvelous light, and since then I have never looked back.

    The Study of Revelation, Part 5

    Revelation Chapter 12 Verse 2 “Then (that is later) being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.” “If we locate it aright, the woman (as depicted in Verse 2) is seen in this vision about 308 A.D., and has been in the "Smyrna" stage of the Church as described in Rev...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 4

    Revelation Chapter 12 Now as you recall we broke down the “heavens” into two distinct groups, the literal heavens and the symbolic heavens, and then further went on to show how each of these two groups were subsequently divided into three parts. Now however we would like to consider another...

    The Study of Revelation

    Since our study on Revelation (being more or less an outline of Revelation as it is interpreted by Bible Students) it has been suggested that it would be better suited if we present it under a blog post, and so I have decided to take this advice and will from henceforth be presenting it there...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 3

    Revelation Chapter 12 Having we believe established the fact that the scriptures clearly imply both LITERAL heavens as well as SYMBOLIC heavens, we will now proceed in our study of Rev 12:1 to determine which of these “heavens” is being referred to in our text. We believe that the answer will...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 2

    Revelation Chapter 12 In this study we will be utilizing various Bible Student materials chief among which will be the “New Albany Notes on Revelation”, and “The Keys of Revelation”. “Before beginning our examination of this Chapter in detail, it is VERY IMPORTANT to remember the symbolic...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 1

    Revelation “The study of the book of Revelation is often approached with fear or hesitation by many believers. Many simply chose not to approach it at all. But this attitude is neither correct nor spiritually healthy. We live at a time in the end of the age when enough information has been made...

    The Study of Revelation

    I don't believe we have said anything about what is going to happen in the future, what we are presenting has for the most part already taken place, its all recorded in the history of the Church. This is what Chapter 12 is, its a pin-picture of the whole gospel age all in one chapter.

    The Study of Revelation

    If we follow this line of reasoning there is no truth out there merely the thoughts and opinions of those who have studied the word. Basically they wasted their time studying despite the assurances of the Lord that the Holy Spirit would lead them into the truth. You state:"There is not one bit...

    The Study of Revelation

    If what is presented has been proven to be in harmony with the divine testimony (likewise with the facts as they were recorded in the history of the church), then it should be taken as truth. This of course presupposes that the individual has taken the time to examine the material for him or...

    The Study of Revelation

    No it’s what I believe. When I stated what I present here is what we Bible Students have gleamed from the study of this chapter that means I include myself in this we. I myself am a Bible Student. Before one accepts any teaching from another they are admonished to follow the example of the...

    The Study of Revelation

    I'm pretty sure I've made it clear from the start that what I was presenting here is what we Bible Students have gleamed from the study of this chapter. It is what we have come to believe to be true based on our studies of the scriptures, you are however free to disagree and post your own...

    The Study of Revelation

    Your words not mine. It is obvious that you have gotten all hung up on our earlier statement: “Only those who possess true spiritual enlightenment, (the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit) will be able to grasp the true significance of this chapter, others will most likely continue to believe...

    The Study of Revelation

    That may be equally so but it does not detract from the point made. Do you imagine the Apostles statement in 2 Cor 5:20 was only in reference to himself and Timothy or to any others which were with him at the time and not to all the saints called to be Ambassadors of Christ? The Apostle was...

    Your literalist interpretation of Revelation blinds you of the facts, I refer you to our study on Heaven as found in our blog post.

    The Study of Revelation

    No one is helping me; (save the Lord), I live by myself and make all my own post. As for my reference to “we”, “us” or “our” when stating such I am referring specifically to what we Bible Students believe, although it’s true that not in every detail (especially in regards to prophecies yet...

    Date Setting, Part 2

    Continued from previous post. “The Apostle Paul declares, "Of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you; for yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. [Quietly, stealthily it will come, and after it has come, many will not...
