Ezekiel Chapter 26 Excerpts for this study come primarily from Brother Frank Shallieu’s studies on the Book of Ezekiel, and from other related Bible Student resources as well as my own personal studies.

Tyre symbolically represents ‘Babylon’ typing the kingdom of Satan. Tyre is likewise used as a…

The next text cited as a proof of eternal torment is Matt 25:41: “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” This is from The Parable of the Sheep and Goats and describes the fate of the disapproved ones at the end of the millennial age.

Consider carefully the scriptures that are used to teach eternal torment. Do not imagine that a study of such scriptures is too elementary, for though convinced the doctrine of eternal torment is false, many mature Bible Students cannot readily explain the scriptures used to support the doctrine. Consider the first: “And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; and the smoke of their torment ascends…

“THE TIME OF THE END” Although the Antichrist legally lost its persecuting power and sovereignty in 1799 A.D., it still exists as a system, and will not be destroyed finally till the full end of the “time of trouble such as never was,” spoken of by the prophet Daniel (12:1). This great time of trouble began in autumn of the year 1914 A.D., when the “times of the Gentiles” legally came to an end. Papacy is in itself one of…

The “1260 Days” The “1260 days” (years) is the period during which the true Church of God was in the “wilderness” condition. She fled thither on account of the persecutions inflicted upon her by the Apostate Church, named “Jezebel,” which was set up in power in 539 A.D. (See Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. II, page 256). The year 1799 A.D. was the end of these 1260 symbolical days of persecuting power, and the following year, 1800 A.D., was the…
