Judgement Day and the Resurrection of Judgement, Part 1

Judgement Day and the Resurrection of Judgement, Part 1

Comments 0 Comment

Having in our study entitled “The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant” considered those who will participate in the Resurrection of Life, i.e.  the Church, the great company and the Ancient Worthies, we will now consider those who will take part in the Resurrection of Judgement. Now as you recall in our previous posts we had mentioned some who would survive Armageddon, not only the “holy remnant” of Israel, but of other nations as well. The question…

Matthew Chapter 24 Before we move on to our next verse we still have the question of the 120 years. What about the 120 years? 120 years prior to the flood the Lord warned Noah that the present age of mankind had but 120 years remaining before He would destroyed them from the face of the earth (Gen 6:13). Noah then immediately commenced to warn his contemporaries of this impending judgement; however the majority chose to ignore him while others…

Matthew Chapter 24 Before we proceed on to Verse 45 in our Matthew study we should first like to present a bit more insight in regards to the “watches” mentioned in Luke 12:38, which we hope might aid some to a better appreciation of what is being referred to. We should also like to take another look at the time similarity between the 120 years of Noah prior to the flood, and the passing away of “the world that then…

Matthew Chapter 24 Once again we return to the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant” as taken from Luke Chapter 12. Verse 38 “And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.” A THOUSAND YEARS…ARE AS A WATCH IN THE NIGHT According to the ancient Jewish method of reckoning the night time, the second watch would be from ten to two o’clock and…

Symbolic Meaning of Matthew 24:30-31 Heaven and heavens are often symbolic of corrupt religious systems (2 Pet. 3:5-10; Isa. 34:5-4; Joel 2:9-11). See can denote mental perception (Luke 3:6; John 1:51; Rev. 19:10; Matt. 27:4, 24). Clouds often represent trouble as in Joel 2:1-2, a parallel text of Matt 24:30-31. The word “angels” is translated from the Greek word aggelos which literally means messenger and often refers to any messenger of God (Rev. 2 and 3, the seven angels or…

Mental Perception Now let us consider more thoroughly Rev 7: 1 and Matt 24:30, which speak of all mankind seeing the returned Lord. Are they literal or symbolic? “Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.” “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth…

“Having established scripturally (See our last two studies, “Signs of Christ’s Presence” and “I will Come Again”) that the second advent of Christ begins with a secret invisible presence  which is discernible only by the eye of faith, and only to those members of the Church who are awake and watching, the question logically arises, Will the future revealing to all mankind likewise involve mental perception or literal sight? Harmony must be sought between two sets of scriptures relative to…

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue once again with Luke Chapter 12 and the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant”. Verse 37 “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.” THE MASTER WILL SERVE HIS SERVANTS What will be the special reward of these servants? The parable states it: their…

Matthew Chapter 24 We continue once again with our look at the parable of “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant”, as we believe it will greatly aid us when we continue with our Matthew study. Luke 12 Verse 36 “And you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.” Our Lord gave a parable to illustrate the alertness and…

Evangelical and Fundamentalist Consent to “Presence” The Emphasized Bible translated by Rotherham is published by Kregel, an evangelical publishing house. Rotherham relates his struggle with the word parousia in the third edition of his translation. Although contrary to his theology, he acknowledged that parousia means “presence” and so translated it in every occurrence. He states on Page 271 in the Appendix: “In this edition the word parousia is uniformly rendered ‘presence’ (‘coming,’ as a representative of this word, being set…
