Note: The original title of this presentation was simply entitled, “The Only Way”, but some may have been confused with this title assuming it was merely another study on the only way of salvation, which we all know comes to us through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord, and him alone. However, this study is not in reference to our common salvation but rather to show us by what means or way the scriptures indicate entrance into the “Heavenly Phase…
Some questions concerning our subject: Sister Debbie stated, I thought all Arabs were descendants of Ishmael son of Abraham and Hagar… In Reply, The Arabs are descendants of Ishmael (Abraham’s son through Hagar, who was not Abraham’s wife but his wife’s handmaid—Gen 16:1–16) who founded the Ishmaelites; and Esau (Abraham’s grandson and Isaac’s eldest son, who sold his birthright to his twin brother, Jacob—Gen 25:19–34) who founded the Edomites. Most of the Arab nations have sprung from one of four…
Jacob’s Trouble continued “It shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen [or nations] may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes” (Ezek 38:8–12,14–16). When these forces attack Israel, the eyes of the world will be upon them. Every nation will be watching. With modern satellite communications, internet and television, this can be literally true (Barring any power outages due to any nuclear exchange and or anarchy…
“Jacob’s trouble“ The Time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble, is prophetically described as the final phase of Armageddon when Gog along with all it allies come upon Israel. “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away (who would see its demise) will surely be…
Note: This is a repost of a study we published back in 2017, however barring events currently unfolding in the middle east between Israel and its neighbors it seems prudent to repost it here for those who may have missed it, as there seems to be some who see these recent events as a prelude to the final conflict or war recorded in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39 involving Gog and Magog. Note this updated version may include some editing,…
THE UNDER PRIEST “For Aaron’s sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make sashes for them. And you shall make turbans (head coverings) for them, for glory and beauty. So you shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him. You shall anoint them, consecrate them, and sanctify them that they may minister to me as priest. And you shall make for them linen trousers (or breeches) to cover their nakedness; they shall reach from…
“The Master declared that twelve apostles were to be seated on twelve separate thrones or divisions of power in the Kingdom (Matt 19:28). In all, a total of twelve thousand saints will be assigned to each of twelve separate ranks (Rev 7:5–8). Based on the scriptural information available concerning (1) the ministry and lifestyle of the different apostles, (2) the meaning of each tribal name, (3) the prophesied tribal characteristics, and (4) the meaning of the name and/or the peculiar…
THE JEWELS OF THE BREASTPLATE, THEIR ORDER AND SIGNIFICANCE “Rare indeed are those individuals who, with constancy, ponder upon God’s name and meditate upon the precepts of His Holy Word, and who seek often the fellowship of kindred minds to converse one with another about the great and holy deeds of Jehovah. Nor is the Lord unrighteous or unmindful to forget the labor of love of His children and their compliance with His instructions. That He observes such behavior is…
THE HIGH PRIEST BREASTPLATE “You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the Ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it. It shall be doubled (folded over) into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width, and you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones (three in each row)…they shall be…
“Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel in order of their birth, six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal, then mount the stones in gold filigree settings and fasten them on the shoulder pieces (or clasps) of the Ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel….
