Consider carefully the scriptures that are used to teach eternal torment. Do not imagine that a study of such scriptures is too elementary, for though convinced the doctrine of eternal torment is false, many mature Bible Students cannot readily explain the scriptures used to support the doctrine. Consider the first: “And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; and the smoke of their torment ascends…

The following excerpt was taken from a discourse by Brother Robert S. Seklemian entitled, “Thus Saith the Lord” “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures; and said unto them, Thus it is written.”–Luke 24:45, 46 The expression, “Thus saith the Lord,” is used over 400 times in the Bible plus many similar expressions such as “It is written,” or “The word of the Lord came unto me,” or “I, the Lord, have spoken it.” They call…

“THE TIME OF THE END” Although the Antichrist legally lost its persecuting power and sovereignty in 1799 A.D., it still exists as a system, and will not be destroyed finally till the full end of the “time of trouble such as never was,” spoken of by the prophet Daniel (12:1). This great time of trouble began in autumn of the year 1914 A.D., when the “times of the Gentiles” legally came to an end. Papacy is in itself one of…

The “1260 Days” The “1260 days” (years) is the period during which the true Church of God was in the “wilderness” condition. She fled thither on account of the persecutions inflicted upon her by the Apostate Church, named “Jezebel,” which was set up in power in 539 A.D. (See Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. II, page 256). The year 1799 A.D. was the end of these 1260 symbolical days of persecuting power, and the following year, 1800 A.D., was the…

The “1335 Days” In addition to the “70 weeks” and “2300 days,” the Great Pyramid corroborates the three other time-prophecies contained in the book of Daniel, namely, the “1260 days,” the “1290 days,” and the “1335 days.” It also corroborates the period of the “time of the end.” (These prophecies are fully explained in Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. III.) A careful comparison of Dan. 12:7-12, and 8:11-14, shows that all the time prophecies of Daniel are related to each…

The “2300 Days” The year of Nehemiah’s commission, besides being the commencement of the prophetic period of the 70 weeks, formed also the starting-point of another of Daniel’s time-prophecies, namely, the “2300 days,” at the end of which the “Sanctuary” was to be cleansed (Dan. 8:14). The 2300 days was the first of the prophetic periods to be communicated to Daniel. He was greatly exercised concerning this vision (See Dan. 8:26, 27), and prayed to God, confessing his own and…

“On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where…

Continued from previous post. What can such as realize that thorns are growing in their hearts and choking the Word of the Lord do to get rid of them? How can they overcome this difficulty of permitting the cares of this life to absorb their time, their talents, and their influence? How can they get rid of the false allurements and attractions of riches? How can they become fruitful toward God in good works, in riches of grace in their…

Continued from previous post. VERSE 5, 6 “Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.” Another class upon which the same good truth falls at the present time is one that has a good appearance upon the surface–fine soil, etc., but underneath, and but a few…

The “Seventy Weeks” The honor of becoming members in the great spiritual Seed of Abraham was the exclusive privilege of the people of Israel till the end of their “seventy weeks” of favor (See Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. II Chapter 3). It is interesting to note that the complete period of 4162 years of the world’s history from the time of Adam’s fall till the end of Israel’s 70 weeks, is equally divided into two grand periods of 2081…
