Why will there be a Second Advent? Part 3

Why will there be a Second Advent? Part 3

The question asked in our previous post concerns our Lord and when precisely He will assume control of matters. The answer is: When the Gospel Church, “His body,” Ecclesia, is complete. Evil now being permitted for “the trial of your faith,” the perfecting of the saints. This time is synchronous with the sounding of the seventh trumpet. Rev 11:15. Here the mystery [church] of God is finished, and “the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and His…

Why will there be a Second Advent? Part 2

Why does Christ Come? Let us examine briefly the arguments presented by both post-millennialist and pre-millennialists, comparing them with the Word – and Plan of God. The first (post-millennialist) expect that through the efforts of the Church, the world will be converted, and thus the millennial age introduced, at the close of which the Lord will come, wind up earthly affairs, reward believers and condemn sinners. That to convert the world, bind Satan, make “the knowledge of the Lord to fill the whole earth,” and “nations to learn…

Why will there be a Second Advent? Part 1

That the second coming of our Lord Jesus occupies a prominent and important position in the teaching of the apostles and prophets, as well as of Jesus himself, is a fact that can scarcely fail to have been noticed by every Bible student. Yet, from various causes, very many of those who profess to love Him, and whom we have reason to believe do, are not much interested in it. A few endeavor to figure it away by applying it…

Revelation Chapter 19 UNIVERSAL REJOICING (Rev 19:1-10) Brother Shallieu’s thoughts on Verses 9 and 10 “And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, see thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus:…

Revelation Chapter 19 UNIVERSAL REJOICING (Rev 19:1-10) VERSE 9 “Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” AND HE SAID TO ME: This “he” comes out of nowhere! BUT, if, as suggested, Rev 19:1-10 is actually a part of Chapter 18, the reference does NOT AT ALL seem disconnected, but is a natural reference back to Rev…

Revelation Chapter 19 UNIVERSAL REJOICING (Rev 19:1-10) Brother Shallieu’s comments on Verses 7 and 8: “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Verse 6 concludes with the fitting climax of the rendering of praise to the…

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering’s, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns.” The voice coming out of the…

Alleluia!” AND THE TWENTY-FOUR ELDERS: — all of the testimony of God’s pre-written plans AND THE FOUR LIVING ONES: — the personifications of God’s own attributes FELL DOWN: — the visible action representing total respect, dedication, and worship AND WORSHIPPED GOD: — by having been fulfilled and understood SAYING, AMEN….

Revelation Chapter 19 UNIVERSAL REJOICING (Rev 19:1-10) Brother Shallieu’s thoughts on Verse 3: “And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.” For the “much people in heaven” to repeat “Alleluia” indicates they will be pleased—even thrilled—to see the judgment rendered. Not satisfied to say once, “Alleluia . . . he hath judged the great whore,” they, on second thought, exclaim again, “Alleluia”! This is the spirit of prophecy. Christians should sympathetically imbibe the same…
