NEITHER PRIESTS NOR LEVITES HAD INHERITANCE IN THE LAND “In the type of the Priesthood, and the Levites, Aaron and his sons constituted the Priesthood, and only these had to do with the offering on the Day of Atonement, and only these had special rights and privileges. Neither Priests nor...

THOSE WHO WILL HAVE THEIR PORTION WITH THE HYPOCRITES “The Foolish Virgins, as the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins shows us, will finally learn the way. They will get the oil and will trim their lamps. In other words, they will receive a larger measure of the holy Spirit (that which...

“Aside from the special class of over-comers, the "more than conquerors," as the Apostle calls them, those who voluntarily and willingly lay down their lives, presenting their bodies living sacrifices, and carrying out that consecration to sacrifice--aside from these, there is a large number of...

“In nothing perhaps is the difference between these two types of Christians more discernible than in a comparison of the lives of Abraham and Lot. Both love the Lord, both are righteous, both leave all to come to the Promised Land. But the one completely submerges self-will in a marvelous...

THE ANTI-TYPICAL LEVITES Is there any question as to there being an antitype? Surely not when we summarize the preceding paragraphs and note afresh the minuteness of detail given us by God's Word in regard to this class. In brief, the Scriptures teach: 1) On the Passover night the first-born...

THE SELECTION OF LEVI The patriarch Jacob's descendants through his twelve sons, after having multiplied in Egypt, were reduced to virtual slavery. God raised up for them a great deliverer, Moses, and by ten plagues revealed His mighty power, until Pharaoh permitted the Israelite's to depart...

We present the following subject due to the fact that there are still many who are confused over the issue of the Great Company, who they are and what should be their ultimate fate. Much of this confusion is centered over one particular statement found in Revelation Chapter 7 Verse 9 which...

What do you see wrong with this picture? Our JW friends are very fond of claiming the Great Company mentioned in Revelation Chapter 7 is in reference to themselves, but how then if they claim to be Jehovah’s WITNESSES (keep in mind our witness for God is more than simply a witness in word...

Continuing with our review of what we have leaned thus far in this study on who the Great Company is and if the Jehovah’s Witnesses fit the bill, we move on to point number, 7) As was stated in our previous post, we have a class here of consecrated individuals (spirit begotten) all of whom the...

Let us review what we have so far. Remember what our original intent was for this study? It was our intent to determine whom precisely the Great Company class was and from whence they originated this so as to determine for ourselves once and for all if our friends the Jehovah’s Witnesses fit...

We continue with what the apostle Paul was speaking about concerning those whose work would be burned up. “Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” (1 Cor 5:5) Who was the Apostle referring to here when he states...

“Each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it (the one true foundation) endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he...

Continued from our previous post. It is apparent that some fell to produce the fruits necessary in order to make their calling and election sure because they fell to abide in the Lord, rather they allow the cares of this world, jobs, family, friends, ambitions and etc. to draw them away, and so...

In the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matt 25) our Lord mentions that both the wise AND the foolish were considered “virgins” what does this imply, what makes them all virgins? They are virgins in that they have been sanctified by God, made holy and acceptable to Him through the...

Who specifically was the Apostle referring to here (beside himself), when speaking of being a “castaway” (1 Cor 9:27)? I believe the answer to the first part of this question is found in the Apostles opening address to this Epistle. “To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are...

Thus far we believe we have established, 1) that the typical Levites represented a class of individuals separate and distinct from the rest of the world, separated (i.e., sanctified, set apart) by God, and 2) that unlike the rest of mankind they are to receive no inheritance in the land, (that...

In Exodus Chapter 12 we read of the institution of the Passover. “The term Passover signifies to pass by or spare from an affliction. When the last plague was visited upon Egypt, the houses of the Israelite's were all marked with the blood of a slain lamb, that the destroying angel might not...

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees (Doctors of the Law then, now days referred to as Doctors of Divinity), you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven (the spiritual or heavenly phase of the kingdom) in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are...

Revelation Chapter 14 VERSE 4 continued “These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being first fruits to God and to the Lamb.” In our previous post we learned just who...

Revelation Chapter 14 VERSE 3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.” Only the 144,000 will ever sing this “new song” in...
