Revelation Chapter 8, Part 3

Revelation Chapter 8 The First Trumpet The following briefly reflects the first interpretive viewpoint, which interprets the trumpets as showing the effects of the church messages (truth) on surrounding society VERSE 7 “The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.” The series of Trumpets seems to show the effects of the messages of…

Revelation Chapter 8 The First Trumpet “In most churches (who follow the futurist viewpoint) they view the trumpets as something that is still future. The reason for this is because they are looking at the symbols in too literal a manner thus they can’t imagine how they could have been fulfilled yet. This same problem (a too literal interpretation) is true of most of the book of Revelation in that they are still waiting for a future fulfillment of most…

Revelation Chapter 8 The First Trumpet An IMPORTANT note before we proceed: It should be understood that the translators did the best they knew when they divided the chapters as we have them in the text today, the original text having been written without interruption, viz. paragraphs, punctuation and etc. These are all of more modern invention; unfortunately at times they allowed their own personal bias to influence the narrative. Translators being heavily influenced by the teachings of the professed…

Judgement Day and the Resurrection of Judgement, Part 14

Judgement Day and the Resurrection of Judgement, Part 13

A THRONE OF GRACE AND JUSTICE Two of God’s great attributes (mercy and justice) as related to His dealing with mankind, operated when he originally formed the Plan of redemption and will continue to be exercised unto its completion. God’s mercy is infinitely greater than men’s conception of it, at his very best. Mercy is defined as that benevolence, mildness or tenderness of heart which disposes a person to overlook injuries or to treat an offender better than he deserves….

Judgement Day and the Resurrection of Judgement, Part 12

“AND THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD” The words of the vision show that the dead of every generation, of every clime and country, no matter how or when they met their death will be awakened before that thousand-year day is over. The Scriptures in referring to this awakening imply that they will come forth, not all at the same time, but in companies or bands. On the statement, “And the sea gave up Those Dead which were in it,”…

Judgement Day and the Resurrection of Judgement, Part 11

THE HOPE OF THE DEAD In great contrast with others is the exposition of this vision, so clearly, logically, as well as scripturally, presented by the Pastor. One of his most luminous statements is found in his early writings and is in perfect harmony with all written by him since. The quotation we now submit deals with the question as to, Who are meant by the “dead” referred to as standing before the “Throne“? “‘The dead‘ includes all of the…
