Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 29 continued, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” The Falling Stars “Half a century passed before the next sign appeared the falling of the stars from heaven, as when a fig tree casts her unripe fruit when shaken of a mighty wind. (Bear in mind those 50…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 29 continued, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Here we would like to provide some more evidence of the literal fulfillment of the darkening of the sun and the moon which took place immediately following the tribulation of those days, viz. the days in which the true…
Matthew Chapter 24 Here we will skip ahead to Verse 29 and will come back to Verse 28 later when we reach Verse 41. The reason for this is to make Matthew’s account correspond with that of Mark and Luke. Verse 29 is actually the conclusion of Verse 41. VERSE 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 25-27 continued, “See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the bright-shiner [the Sun] cometh out of the East, but shines even unto the West, so shall the presence of the Son of Man be.” “Some time back in Detroit a vision of Mary appeared on the side…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 25-27 continued, “Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (AV) “The thought here, in the Greek is “For as the sun-light rises out of the…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 25-27 “See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. “For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Having in our previous posts (Parts 22-42) expounded upon the Lord’s warnings found in Verses 24 and…
A word of Warning, continued In spite of the fact that we presently reside in the “Time of the End” when the book (Daniel’s prophecy concerning the time of the end) has been unsealed and opened (Dan 12:4, 9, 10; Rev 10:2) many still (even among those begotten of the Lord’s spirit) willingly chose to remain in ignorance of the times and seasons and of impending events soon to transpire. The general opinion is that the study of prophecy is…
Deuteronomy Chapter 13 A word of Warning, continued VERSE 1-4 “If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying (in essence), ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the…
2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 (2 Thessalonians 2:9–12, 1981 Study continued) Verses 11 and 12 “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” The deluded ones will have “pleasure in unrighteousness” (lawlessness), that is, in truth not taught by God. Volume 5 (entitled, “The At-One-Ment”), page 198, says, “The spirit of error assumes to be wiser than…
2 Thessalonians 2:9–12, 1981 Study Note: In the 1981 study, these four verses pertaining to the end of the age were treated in detail and only from the standpoint of the consecrated. The expanded explanation follows. Some of this we have already considered, but nevertheless we can never be to settled as these things pertain to events shortly to take place and it is better to be overly prepared than under prepared. Once the trials and deceptions begin it’s going…
