"And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man." (Isaiah 4:1) What is the meaning of this scripture?
In the symbolisms of the Scriptures a "woman" represents a church. Just as the church of Christ is said to be the "Bride, the Lamb's wife," the false churches or anti-Christian religious systems are symbolized as wicked women. (Revelation 17:5) The number seven in Scripture represents fullness, or completion. Therefore, we have the picture before our [...]

What is meant by the Scriptures which declare that in the last days there would be a fearful time of trouble (Daniel 12:1; Matthew 24:21,22)? Do these scriptures refer to the industrial and social crisis that is now developing throughout the world?

Regarding the possible confusion on this verse in harmonizing it with the scriptural teaching that [...]
If Christ was God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; how could a voice from heaven say, "This is My beloved Son," when he was a man on earth?
This is an age of general enlightenment. Knowledge is increasing along all lines, and specially so in regard to the teachings of the Scriptures. God's Word has been woefully misrepresented both by friends and foes. The expression of the creeds contained in the question is nowhere found in the Bible. Our Lord Jesus never claimed to [...]
