A Message from the Lord “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Rev 18:4) This is the lesson of the eagle. The returned Lord has promised a great spiritual feast of truth, yet most Christians (the Lord’s true people, howbeit mere “babes in Christ”) are in Babylon when he returns. Just as the eagle can see food far away and travels a great distance to…
A Rich Feast “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” This lesson of Luke 17:34-36 is beautiful. Remember, Luke 17 and Matthew 24 are both accounts of our Lord’s Great Prophecy…
We Shall Not All Sleep, But We Shall All Be Changed Some will have slept in death before their resurrection at Christ’s return. However, Christians living during Christ’s parousia or presence will be changed in the twinkling of an eye without sleeping in death. Each, at the instant of their dying, will be raised to immortality. Rev 14:13 gives us the time element of the resurrection of the saints who are alive at Christ’s return: “Blessed are the dead [in…
Caught up Together With Him “Paul, speaking of the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ, called it “that blessed hope.” Titus 2:13 What a blessed hope indeed when finally united with Christ, our beloved bridegroom soon the warfare will be ended, the toiling and suffering over. Soon we will experience that joy of seeing him face to face and sharing the presence of his fellowship throughout eternity. Long have Christians waited for the second coming of Christ; long have they…
A great stumbling block to many believers is the idea that the Church will be raptured away prior to the great time of trouble. The scriptures however contradict this thought and show that the Church will still be here during the opening stages of the tribulation. Nahum 1:5-8 confirms this thought. Verse 5 reveals the mountains quaking, the hills melting and the whole world being devoured by the presence of the Lord. Verse 6 asks, “Who can abide in the…
Why are the majority of believers unaware of the Lord’s presence at this time? There are a number of reasons. The number one reason is because the majority of professed Christians are in truth but Christians in name only, nominal Christians, neither begotten of the spirit nor led of the spirit, this despite all their professions. Many of these are actually very good, moral and upstanding individuals. However what motivates such is not the Holy Spirit, but rather their emotions,…
In our previous post we mentioned how the majority of professed believers have never fully responded to the privileges afforded them at this time. IT IS IMPORTANT to understand that ONLY those who have fully consecrated themselves to the Lord have the merit of Christ’ righteousness imputed to them and are actually justified in the fullest sense of the word. Those who merely make a profession of faith in Christ and in the work of redemption accomplish at Calvary have…
In our previous the question was raised as to whom the “good” of the world were who would survive Armageddon, we had alluded to this in Parts 12 and 16 of this study intending to come back to it later. The question we had asked in Part 16 was: Who exactly are the “good” (not just the innocent, babes, little children and etc.), but the rest of the good who would pass through the great time of trouble? We know…
With the burning of the tares there will be no one left who will dare make the claim of being a saint, a Christian, a true follower of Christ for all the true followers of Christ will have been made manifest having been taken from the earth by the apostate church, proving that all the rest were merely nominal Christians, Christians in name only (imitators, i.e. “TARES”), that they were not of nor ever a part of the TRUE Church…
In our previous post we mentioned that once the Church has been taken from the earth the Great Company class, that is those so enlightened, those in possession of a “double portion” of Elijah’s spirit (2 Kings 2:9, 10) will give a final testimony before they too (along with all the rest of their company who are freed from Babylon) are taken from the earth. What is there testimony? “Fear God, and give him glory; for the HOUR of his…
