Continuing the above discourse on the things due during the day of the revelation of his presence, Jesus says: “I tell you in that night (before the day has dawned yet a part of that day) there will be two in a bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two will be grinding together; the one will be taken and the other left.” [Diaglott.] A bed is a place in which to rest; it is here used, we believe, to represent the resting…
“In the day that the Son of man is revealed; in that day, he which shall be on the housetop and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Luke 17:30-33. The description is relative to matters due to take place AFTER the…
In our previous post we were curious as to whether the work of being baptized into Jesus’ death was an instantaneous act performed when we first come to Christ and seek admission into “the body” or, a life work? We answer it is both. When we first come to God through Jesus, we covenant (enter into contract, vow to do such and such) with Him that we will take up our cross and follow him through evil and good report, whether 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…
Revelation Chapter 19 UNIVERSAL REJOICING (Rev 19:1-10) Brother Shallieu’s thoughts on Verses 5 and 6: “And a voice came out of the throne, saying, praise our God, all you his servants, and you that fear him, both small and great. 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…
Revelation Chapter 19 UNIVERSAL REJOICING (Rev 19:1-10) VERSE 4 “And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! 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…
Revelation Chapter 19 UNIVERSAL REJOICING (Rev 19:1-10) Verses 1 and 2 as noted in Brother Shallieu’s Revelation study: “And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.” Brother…
