DEPARTURE from the teaching of the Pauline Epistles was the beginning of apostasy in the Church — the commencement of the dark ages. The Reformation was an awakening to sense of this disobedience, but it was only “in part”; and the condition of the Protestant Evangelical Churches to-day exhibits as sad a condition, from another […]
PEACE, and at such a time We have taken an harmless liberty with the salutation found in Ezra 4:17 with which Artaxerxes opened his letter to his chancellor, for there, the frase ‘at such a time’ was equivalent to our indicating 2/6/63 at the opening of a letter to-day. ‘Then sent the king an answer […]
Did you know that in the Book of Revelation alone we find references to over six hundred verses from the Old Testament, which is also known as the Tanakh? How in the world can you understand the Book of Revelation if you don’t connect the verses to the original Scriptures that were used as a […]
We have seen the great truths [The book: The WITNESS of the STARS / Het Getuigenis van de Sterren / http://www.everread.nl ] which are taught from the position, and forms, and names of the heavenly bodies. There are also truths to be learnt from their motions. When God created them and set them in the […]
The Completeness of Christ in Type and Shadow in the Old Testament … THE BOOK JOEL The dating of this prophecy is unknown. We know practically nothing of the prophet, other than, just as Hosea was sent to Israel, Joel was sent to Judah. We do know that his father’s name was Pethuel. In Joel […]
The philosopher and the sceptic say “What is Truth?” The believer who has tasted that the Lord is gracious replies: “God’s Word is truth”. Even the sceptic may agree to this proposition but would ask “Has God spoken?” and if so, where is it to be found? When we deal with what is called “natural […]
The words of repentant David: ‘Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow’ (Psa. 51:7), have seized the mind, and entered into the preaching of the gospel during all times. In the book of Revelation, the only gospel that is preached (so far as the record goes) contains no reference to Christ, His finished […]
The great fact of all facts proclaimed by God to sinful men is that Jesus Christ, Who was crucified on Calvary, “died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, and was buried, and rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:3,4). They who believe that proclamation receive the Salvation of the […]
We have seen from the testimony of Scripture itself that the only company of the redeemed for whom the Millennial reign is introduced into the pages of Holy Writ, is the overcomer. Revelation 20:1-10 is the only portion of Scripture that gives positive teaching concerning the Millennium; other Scriptures contain passages that may or do […]
What did Paul mean when he said, SOMETHING HAD BEEN COMMITTED TO HIM? To begin with it’s not a very common English word, is it? We don’t often use it. Fortunately, the answer is in 2 Timothy. Now this word ‘commit’ is translated in some translations, ‘a deposit’, and it does mean to deposit, but that doesn’t […]
