The Background to the New Testament / no. 10. Relationship of Christ’s Coming and the Acts Church to Judaism The Lord Jesus Christ came unto His own. He came not to overthrow, but to fulfill. His ministry assumed a continuance of the Jewish institutions of the day, but reformed to His standard of righteousness. The […]
The Background to the New Testament / No. 3. The Herodians The Gospel writers have very little to say about this party. In fact, there are only three references in the New Testament to the word “Herodian” (Matt. 22:16; Mark 3:6; 12:13). It is quite evident from their name that they were either attached to, […]

LET’S TAKE A look at another often-misunderstood event that many Christians put aside as Jewish tradition rather than a biblical holiday. It is known as Purim. In the story of Purim we read about a man named Haman, who, with the spirit of the antichrist, wants to annihilate the Jewish people. While Antiochus’ goal in […]

When? and Where? but found that when the question “Why?” was put, a different category involving the question […]
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 […]
