In Job 38:7 we read that when the earth was created, “The morning stars (plural, which we believe there were only two, the Logos and Lucifer) sang together, AND all the sons of God (the rest of the angels) shouted for joy.” Our Lord referred to himself as one of these morning stars in Rev 22:16, when he stated, “I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” Satan likewise at one time was…
“The name Jesus means one who saves – a savior. But God’s plan for saving the world from sin and death is so comprehensive that in order to help us understand all its implications God, through his Word, has given Jesus many and varied TITLES, each giving some particular viewpoint regarding the work he will perform in regards to the kingdom and the salvation of the world. Previous to this time our Lord was given the title of the Logos,…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 31 continued, “And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Luke 21 shows clearly that the Church will be complete just prior to the great Time of Trouble and Jesus’ revealing to the world (in the fire of the great day).

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 31 “And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” The Sinaitic MS omits the word “sound“, which we believe to be in harmony with the general teachings of the trumpets. “This work (of gathering His elect) will be in progress in the interim, during the “harvest.” The angels (messengers of the new…

Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 30 continued, “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” “In Heaven:” The sign or proof of our Lord’s Parousia will be given in heaven. Not in the actual heaven of the Father’s presence and before the holy angels, but in the symbolic…
Matthew Chapter 24 Before we take a look at Verse 30 we should like first to summarize what we have thus far. In Verse 29 we were informed that “immediately after the tribulation of THOSE DAYS,” four particular events (signs) would take place which we believe would have both a literal and a symbolic fulfilment, they are as follows, 1) The Sun would be darkened 2) the Moon would not give its light 3) the stars would fall from heaven,…
