Genesis 6:5,6: (KJV) 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the [...]
In many places in the Scriptures the expression "fatherless," in the original language in which the Bible was written, has the significance of bereaved or orphans. The thought is that the Lord's special care and compassion are over the weak, helpless and the bereaved [...]
A "key" in the scriptural symbolism is representative of the opening power vested in the one who has been duly authorized to act, just as how we might say today something like, "He holds the key to the situation." Peter was given two "keys" (Matthew [...]
Jesus died as a human and his body was put in a tomb by Joseph of Arimathea (Matthew 27:57-60). Jesus prepared his apostles for the fact that he would die and no longer be physically with them in Matthew 16:21 “…He explained to his disciples [...]
The so-called "orthodox hell," of a vast furnace of fire and brimstone, manned by fire-proof devils with pitch forks in their hands, who are busily engaged in jabbing and tormenting the billions of poor unfortunates--all of the human race, with the exception of the [...]
Hosea 6:1-3 (NASB1995): “Come, let’s return to the Lord. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, [...]
Revelation 3:12: ...and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God…Revelation 21:1,2: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were [...]
Revelation 3:12: ...and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God…Revelation 21:1,2: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were [...]
The most remarkable movement ever occurring amongst the Jewish people since the time of the destruction of their capital city, Jerusalem, is now in process of development, and is known as "The Zionist Movement." The primary object of this movement is the establishment of [...]
There is nothing to prove that Christ was born December 25th, but there is circumstantial evidence he was born around early October. It is generally recognized that Jesus was crucified on Friday, April 3, AD 33. The fact that his crucifixion occurred at the close [...]
Our Lord Jesus became related to the human family by taking our nature through his mother Mary. Mary's genealogy, as traced by Luke, leads back to David through his son Nathan (Luke 3:23). Joseph is here styled "the son of Heli," that is, the son [...]
Romans 2:6-11: 6 who will render to each person according to his deeds: 7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the [...]
It is that last dreadful day in the which (according to the antiquated theories of an obsolete theological formation) the Lord will return to the earth, and take His seat upon a great white throne, and then all nations will be gathered before Him, [...]
The term "Judgment" includes a hearing or trial and the final conclusion or result of that trial. Not all are judged at once. To illustrate, the Church is now on trial or judgment. The Christian trial or judgment has been in progress since Pentecost. The faithful in this judgment shall [...]
These verses, doubtless, refer to Israel's judgments and their final repentance and reconciliation. The three days we understand to be the days of the larger week, one thousand years to each day. In this larger week the seventh day will be the seventh thousand-year [...]
In Matthew 16:19, Jesus tells Peter, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,” symbolizing the authority to open access to the gospel message. This moment follows Peter’s confession that Jesus is “the Christ, the son of the living God” (Matthew [...]
To understand this statement of the Master it is necessary to remember the clearly marked distinction between the different ages of time. John was the last of the prophets and belonged to the time period that was coming to an end - the “Jewish [...]
The Jewish nation was a consecrated nation, a covenant people. They were all baptized into Moses in the sea and in the cloud when they left Egypt. God accepted them in Moses, the mediator of their covenant at Mt. Sinai but, at the time [...]
The word "kingdom" properly rendered here is royal majesty. Continuing the narrative on down into the next chapter, it is stated that six days afterwards, the Lord took Peter, James and John and went apart from the rest of the disciples up into a [...]
This is a prophecy relating to the Church, the Kingdom class, the Kingdom of Heaven in its embryonic state. It has been remarkably fulfilled in the history of the true Church of Christ from the days of John to the present. The "violent," those of the Ishmael and Esau [...]
