  1. Harvest 1874

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Very astute thought, we think along similar lines, that is with respects to mankind venturing out into the cosmos one, day, but of course God is not going to allow this until man has been perfected. Right now the permission of evil is contained to this one little spear, no need in polluting the...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    I am glad you see it that way as it was never my intention to offend you in anyway. As it is written, ALL scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction… that the man (or woman) of God may be perfect (thoroughly complete). 2 Tim 3:17 It’s only when pride steps in and...

    More on the Two Phases of the Kingdom

    “A correct understanding of the reign of the church is difficult to grasp unless one appreciates also the concept of the two phases of the kingdom of God. The church, together with Christ, will constitute the spiritual ruling class. They will direct the affairs of the kingdom in a manner similar...

    A 1,000 Year Millennium On This Earth?

    Earthly Promises Scriptural evidence of the earthly phase of the kingdom. Hope of the World And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, to your seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar to the LORD, who appeared to him. (Gen 12:7) And there is hope in your end, says the LORD...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Who's denying the literal flood? Yes there was a literal flood and the world (the present order then in existence) passed away in the flood, now did the physical earth pass away as well?, Heavens No! for not soon after when the waters receded the earth was still there, and Noah and his family...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    It was not quoted to represent a literal statement.

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Once again you have not provided one verse which states that the LITERAL earth is to be destroy, your whole argument is based on your own interpretation of various texts which are clearly symbolic in nature, but which you believe to be literal, of course you don't see any of this because you are...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Yes it does, does it not? It gives meaning to the words of the Lord when on the Sea of Galilee he rebuked the winds and the waves, “And he arose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, PEACE BE STILL! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”--Mark 4:39 Likewise will be the words...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    I’m sorry I was unable to address the first part of your query this morning, I only had time to address the second part of your comment concerning the “sea”, as I had to go to work, nevertheless this allowed me time to ponder your thoughts. We know that the word of the Lord is spirit and truth...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Once again many attempt to force literal interpretations on that which is clearly symbolic. The greatest source of error in understanding the symbols of Revelation is a too literal interpretation. It is read as though it were a statement of facts instead of a statement of symbols. The book of...

    Two Phases of the Kingdom

    How clear is the fact that there is to be both a spiritual and an earthly phase to God’s Kingdom! And yet even the Master’s disciples at first could not understand this. Just as their conception of the Kingdom was limited to the idea of a selected Jewish nation under the headship of an earthly...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Sorry but none of these texts you quote say anything about the physical earth passing away, they are all highly symbolic in nature. As we had stated earlier attempting to force a literal interpretation on that which is clearly symbolic is one of the leading mistakes made by many Christians...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Please quote the specific scripture you refer to which states that the physical earth will pass away.

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    A close examination of (2 Pet 3:5) shows us that at one time there had existed a previous, “heavens” and “earth” and that they likewise “waxed old as doth a garment” and perished in the flood. Did the literal earth perish? Heavens No! It remained even as it remains today. Tell me what do the...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Glancing at some recent posts here, there seems to be some question as to the duration of the earth, i.e. specifically as to how long it will last. Various scriptures have been applied some suggesting the earth is to be destroyed others that it will remain. As all true Bible Students know the...

    The Consecration of the Priesthood, Part 6

    Continued from previous post. Since we understand the importance given to Moses in explaining every minute detail involved in the Tabernacle and its ceremonies, that every jot and title had to be exactly performed in the type due to the fact that it illustrated something greater and far more...

    The Consecration of the Priesthood, Part 5

    Continued from previous post. “You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.” (Exod 29:15) “The ‘ram of burnt offering’, (the first ram) pictured the identical consecration already portrayed in the sacrifice of the bullock, but from a...

    Taught of the Lord, Part 2

    Continued from previous post. Now the question is asked if as the scriptures state God has provided these various agencies (viz. apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers), “Is it right to follow the teachings of any ONE MAN? “The Scriptures answer, “One is your Master, even...

    Taught of the Lord, Part 1

    In Acts 8:26-40 we read of an Ethiopian eunuch, who on his way back to Ethiopia was found reading from the scriptures, the prophet Isaiah, but who apparently did not understand what he was reading, so the Lord sent Philip to him saying, “Do you understand what you are reading?” the eunuchs reply...

    The Consecration of the Priesthood, Part 4

    Continued from previous post. “Then you shall kill the bull before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the base of the altar.” (Exod 29:11, 12)...
