    Stumbling in the Way, Part 4

    Ordained to Preach So where do we find these meek ones whom the Lord Himself has anointed (ordained or commissioned) to preach the Word? How do we distinguish them from the rest? When seeking the truth, we should not be looking to world or to the worldly church for the true teachers of God’s...

    Stumbling in the Way, Part 3

    “The meek will he teach his way” (Psa 25:9) Can we trust any outside sources in our quest for truth, sources found outside of orthodoxy, the professed church? How are we to be sure of any of them? The Lord states that we are to “try the spirits” to test the doctrines from whomsoever they...

    Stumbling in the Way, Part 2

    An Important Lesson “For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh (according to their own estimation), not many mighty (not many great, or learned), not many noble (for the noble and the great usually trust too much in themselves and are not ready to accept the...

    Stumbling in the Way, Part 1

    A Stumbling Bock “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.” (Isa 55:8) The problem is that the vast majority of professed Christians have great difficulty in accepting this fact, that the Lord’s ways of doing things are not the same as our own, that his...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 305

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 17 “For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.” FOR GOD HAS PUT IT IN THEIR HEARTS: Somehow God will so arrange matters that the desires of men will...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 15 “Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.” THEN HE SAID TO ME: From here to the end of the chapter we again have evidence of the angel’s commission toward us. He is saying, “Here are...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.” AND THE TEN HORNS WHICH YOU SAW: “Which you saw” is important. The Revelator is mopping up details. He has disposed...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.” HERE IS THE MIND WHICH HAS WISDOM: The angel now invites the saints to reason. He DOES NOT explain to us the meaning of the following verses. He merely LISTS...

    Revelation Chapter 17 Note: As we continue with this study, we will be following the outline of the second view mentioned in our previous posts.

    The Study of Revelation, Part 300

    Revelation Chapter 17 Before we move on let us briefly review for a moment the differences, between the two views which we have just presented with regards to... The beast that WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss. (Rev 17:8) According to the first view this “beast”...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 299

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 8 continued “The beast that thou saw WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss…” Point # 2: The PARTIAL beast (of Verses 8, 11-13, 16, 17) is THUS SAID to be “of the seven,” but NOT ONE of the seven.” (We should not look for a definition of this...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 298

    Revelation Chapter 17 Now a second look at our subject from another perspective, one which when rightfully grasps seems just as plausible as the first. VERSE 8 continued “The beast that thou saw WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss…” “All students of Revelation know the...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 8 continued “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 296

    Revelation Chapter 17 Now what we are about to present with regards to Verse 8 are two completely different takes on the subject both of which nevertheless have their merits, and both of which could very possibly reign true in the end, the first as presented by Brother Frank Shallieu is one...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 6 AND 7 continued “I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 2 -- WITH WHOM THE KINGS OF THE EARTH COMMITTED IMMORALITY: This is her primary sin. The Christian Church is espoused to Christ to be wedded to Him at His return. This woman thought that the interval before that return would be more profitable to her if she lured...
