Some questions concerning our subject: Sister Debbie stated, I thought all Arabs were descendants of Ishmael son of Abraham and Hagar… In Reply, The Arabs are descendants of Ishmael (Abraham’s son through Hagar, who was not Abraham’s wife but his wife’s handmaid—Gen 16:1–16) who founded the Ishmaelites; and Esau (Abraham’s grandson and Isaac’s eldest son, who sold his birthright to his twin brother, Jacob—Gen 25:19–34) who founded the Edomites. Most of the Arab nations have sprung from one of four…

Jacob’s Trouble continued “It shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen [or nations] may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes” (Ezek 38:8–12,14–16). When these forces attack Israel, the eyes of the world will be upon them. Every nation will be watching. With modern satellite communications, internet and television, this can be literally true (Barring any power outages due to any nuclear exchange and or anarchy…

“Jacob’s trouble“ The Time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble, is prophetically described as the final phase of Armageddon when Gog along with all it allies come upon Israel. “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away (who would see its demise) will surely be…

Note: This is a repost of a study we published back in 2017, however barring events currently unfolding in the middle east between Israel and its neighbors it seems prudent to repost it here for those who may have missed it, as there seems to be some who see these recent events as a prelude to the final conflict or war recorded in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39 involving Gog and Magog. Note this updated version may include some editing,…

Concluding Thoughts The first thing we would address is the title of this study. It may be asked why we chose to entitled this study “Stumbling in the Way” rather than simply “The History of the Gospel age Church”, as that is what it is primarily about. Actually, the initial goal in putting together this particular study (mostly a compilation of the various works of many fine Bible Students) was not so much to show the history of the church…

The Seventh Church is the Church of Laodicea, meaning “justice for the people” or “a judged people”. The return of the Lord (The Second Presence or Greek: Parousia) marks the beginning of Laodicean period. This date or time period began in A.D. 1874 and is established by the Jubilee Prophecy (See: Earths Great Jubilee), and is likewise confirmed by Daniel 12:12 viz., “Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.” If we…

THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 3) continued We continue here with our look at Uriah Smith’s book on DANIEL AND THE REVELATION which helps us to better understand the 3 1/2 days in which the two witnesses lay dead in the streets. (Pages 439-440) Verse 10 “And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.” “This denotes the…

THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 3) continued Revelation Chapter 11 VERSE 14 “The second woe is past. behold, the third woe is coming quickly.” Revelation 8:13 had informed us that the last three Trumpets would be “woes” to those dwelling on the earth — those whose roots in the present order make them enemies to changes which threaten the status quo. In Rev 11:14 we have reached the end of the Sixth Trumpet. It has caused GREAT WOES to the establishment…

THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 3) continued Revelation Chapter 11 VERSE 11 “Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from god entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.” But, as we read in Smith’s book, this all lasted only 3 ½ years. Those who would not permit the burial triumphed in the French Assembly, and the Bible was not only PERMITTED again, but LIVED in a sense never possible…

THE SIXTH TRUMPET (Part 3) continued Revelation Chapter 11 VERSE 7 “When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.” This verse begins a section dealing with the treatment of the Bible near the Time of the End. Many theories have been expounded as to the meaning of the Verses 7 through 12. The one explanation which seems easiest to document and which seems best…
