Revelation Chapter 8 The Seventh Seal VERSE 1 continued “When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.” “The lesson is that down here at the end of the Gospel Age, between the completion of the sacrifice of the last members of the elect body of The...

Habakkuk Chapter 1 continued VERSE 12 “Are you not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment; O Rock, You have marked them for correction.” Verse 12, a paragraph break, starts to express thoughts of the Great Company, a...

“Wail; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as destruction from the Almighty.” (Isa 13:6) “A day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wastefulness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of the trumpet and alarm...

Habakkuk Chapter 1 continued VERSE 3 and 4 “Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? For plundering (looting) and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention arises. Therefore the law is powerless, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous...

Habakkuk Chapter 1 VERSE 1 “O Lord, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to you, “Violence!” And you will not save.” “In Verses 2–4 the prophet described his feelings and experiences at the time he gave this message. That time was shortly before judgment was to be executed...

THE GREAT TIME OF TROUBLE “For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” (Luke 21:22) “…Watchman what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said the morning cometh, and also the night…” (Isa 21:12) “The Morning comes"–of that there...

With the burning of the tares there will be no one left who will dare make the claim of being a saint, a Christian, a true follower of Christ for all the true followers of Christ will have been made manifest having been taken from the earth by the apostate church, proving that all the rest were...

In our previous post we mentioned that once the Church has been taken from the earth the Great Company class, that is those so enlightened, those in possession of a “double portion” of Elijah’s spirit (2 Kings 2:9, 10) will give a final testimony before they too (along with all the rest of their...

In this study we mentioned three particular groups comprised of both good and bad individuals who would enter the great tribulation period: 1) The Great Company 2) The nation of Israel 3) The world of mankind In regards to the first group, the Great Company class (a spirit begotten class...

JESUS ALONE THE RANSOMER It would not be correct to say that the scapegoat class atones for sin and thus make it possible for a certain part of humanity to be brought forth from the tomb. The tomb represents the penalty upon Adam for his transgression, and this penalty has been inherited by all...

Account Paid in Full In our previous post we alluded to the fact that the Great Company will play a pivotal role in God’s plan, that it is his purpose to use them to compensate for the willful sins of humanity, sins committed against evident light. “Divine Justice must be fully satisfied...

The Great Company, continued Now we understand that some may have difficulty in accepting the fact that the Great Company is a heavenly class (especially among our JW friends), it appears some do not fully comprehend the significance of the surrender of one’s restituional life rights. We...

The Great Company, continued In the tabernacle picture, “the scapegoat was charged with the iniquities of the children of Israel, but was not put to death, and the blood was not taken into the Most Holy. This shows that the scapegoat was not a sacrifice for sins. Instead, the scapegoat was...

The Great Company “Our thought is that Elisha typifies two classes: first he typifies those associated with the Elijah class (the Great Company); and secondly after the taking of Elijah up in the whirlwind and re-crossing the Jordan (picturing the death of the Great Company) he becomes a type...

Left Behind “Just as in the type it was a prerequisite that Elisha see Elijah being taken, so in the antitype the Great Company will recognize the true Church having departed. The Elisha class will be given rejoicing experiences later, but first there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matt...

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” (Rev 8:1) Adequate consideration having been given to the last events of the Lord’s life at the First Advent, and to the experience of the apostles at that time—these being a basis for...

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” (Rev 8:1) “With the opening of the previous six seals, John witnessed startling events, but when the seventh seal is broken—the last and the most significant of a series because the others...

As was stated previously “Waters are to be separated from waters, people from people” It will not be merely the true Church which is divided, separated, (the “little flock” from the great company), but so too the professing or nominal church. The truths then being espoused by the Lord’s faithful...

"We are being more and more impressed with the closing features of the Elijah and the Elisha type. More and more we are impressed that Elijah’s smiting of the river Jordan, the waters thereof being thus divided, pictures a mighty work yet to be accomplished, and apparently in the very near...

WHAT ELIJAH’S MANTLE MAY SIGNIFY "We answer; we believe that the peoples of earth, the public in general, are to be judged by the truth. The people are represented by waters. It would seem that in some way the people are to be judged and tested; and that a division of public sentiment is to be...
