Ezekiel Chapter 26 VERSE 12 “They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will lay your stones, your timber, and your soil in the midst of the water.” Verse 12 as we had suggested at the beginning of our previous post, begins the first of the “many nations” (verse 3) following Nebuchadnezzar who would come against Tyre, in this instance the reference to laying the stones, timbers…

Ezekiel Chapter 26 Verses 7–14 are a prophecy of the destruction by King Nebuchadnezzar of the first Tyre, when the city was on the mainland. Actually it appears only verses 7-11 pertain to the destruction of Tyre by Nebuchadnezzar, verses 12-14 appear to be more in regards to some of the other “nations” mentioned in verse 3 that would destroy Tyre beginning with the destruction brought by Alexander the Great and those aligned with him in 332 B.C. followed by…

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. As with many prophecies, this prophecy has a dual application, not only referring to the destruction of literal Tyre, but of greater importance to us, the destruction of symbolic Tyre as well. Tyre symbolically represents ‘Babylon’ typing the kingdom of Satan. Tyre is likewise used as a…

The Fall of Babylon

The Fall of Babylon

The following question was posed by our Moderator on the Bible Students Forum sometime ago following his visit to one of the General Conventions in which they were discussing the fall of Babylon. The shout is “Babylon the Great has fallen!” The question asked was, has she fallen, is she falling or is she yet to fall? What and why? The answer to our question is found in the statement itself, “Babylon the Great has fallen” The word fallen is…

THE VOICE OF PRESENT TRUTH It becomes an important question then: Have ALL God’s people heard this Voice? We answer that we do not think all have yet heard; hence there must be many true Christians still in Babylon, partakers of her sins, but confused because of ignorance, because of lack of knowledge. The question might be asked: Shall we go forth making this call a special message? We answer: This is not our thought. Our thought is that where…

THE VOICE FROM HEAVEN “…He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” (John 10:3-5) “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her…

  The Seventh Plague Continued. “Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nation’s fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.” Rev 16:19 AND THE GREAT CITY: — Babylon the Great with all of its supporting and component parts, WAS SPLIT INTO THREE PARTS: The implication is that the three parts of the Rev 16:13 coalition falls apart, and…

Having we hope provided both the historical and the scriptural account of the rise of the Beast “THAT WAS” and “IS NOT” (i.e. the reasons for its subsequent disappearance), the next question naturally is, when will it “COME AGAIN”, when will it makes its appearance a second time? According to what we have learned thus far 1/10th of “the great city”, BABYLON THE GREAT (Rev 17:5, 18; 18:21), likewise spiritually referred to as Sodom and Egypt,” (Rev 11:8) fell during…

Having concluded our look at the Sixth seal and how it portrays conditions consistent to the rise of the Beast “THAT WAS” we now continued on with our investigation to see what THE SIXTH TRUMPET has to say on these matters. Keep in mind the object of the trumpets is not the same as that of the seals. The seals showed us how historical events of the period affected the church, (viz. the French Revolution, the Enlightenment, the emergence of…

THE SIXTH SEAL Continued Reiterating what was last stated in our previous post, viz. “The chapter division obscures the connection of Chapter 7 to what has come just before at the end of Chapter 6. It is VERY IMPORTANT to our understanding to see this connection. Rev 6:12-17 has just shown the terrible troubles of the French Revolution period. These troubles could have spread. But it was not yet time for the general Time of Trouble. Only 1/10th of the…
