The question is asked, Are there factors, which we might possess in determining our spirituality with the Lord? I think there are, but there are some who might say no! What do you folks say? Before looking into specific factors or evidences, which confirm whether or not one is Spirit Begotten, it would seem prudent first to determine just how one becomes Spirit Begotten in the first place. The reason we suggest this is because many believers erroneously believe that…
“It scarcely seems necessary to emphasize the great importance in overcoming, if we would be of those who will ultimately teach the whole human family how to overcome. It will be readily seen that we must learn how to overcome ourselves, before we would be qualified to teach others the art of overcoming. In His last message to the seven churches of Asia Minor the Lord Jesus made very plain that the receiving of the great blessings which the Father…
The Pastor’s concluding thoughts on the Great Pyramid as taken from Volume III of the Studies in the Scriptures series sums up well the unique testimony of the Great Pyramid. “Some may scoff at the testimony of this stone “Witness,” as they also scoff at God’s written Word; but to their scoffs we answer: Account for this peculiar fitness of things, or else venture to prophesy of the future, and see how your prophecies will result. Prove to us that…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Let us review some of what we have learned thus far. As it was with regards to the “First Vail” in the Tabernacle picture so too with regards to the “Granite Leaf” in the Great Pyramid picture, both are of supreme importance as both represent the only gateway into the heavenly phase of the kingdom, there is no other way of entry into the heavenly phase of the kingdom but…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued We hope to have shown by now how the two chambers of the Tabernacle the “Holy” and the “Most Holy” depict the spirit conditions of those who have entered into covenant relationship with the Father, a “covenant by sacrifice” (Psa 50:5), those who have chosen not only to sacrifice all present advantage, but most importantly to sacrifice their earthly or restitutional life rights secured to all through the ransom sacrifice…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Standing on the precipice of the “step” considering the cost of further advancement the believer (Individual number 5) is not only weary of this next step, but likewise skeptical of its necessity. Having been for the most part deceived by the “blind guides” into believing that a mere profession of faith was all that was necessary to secure ones entry into the heavenly phase of the kingdom he was content…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Returning once again to the Great Pyramid let us see just how like the Tabernacle of old it too pictures the steps which lead to the heavenly calling and the Kings Chamber. A little review of the preceding steps however might prove useful before we proceed. As you recall we had determined that like the courtyard of the Tabernacle the “Grand Gallery” likewise pictured all who during the Gospel Age…
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…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued The “Most Holy” As the passing of the First Vail, the “Door”, represented the death of the human will so the passing of the Second Vail (Individual #5) represents the death of the human body; both are requisite to complete our sacrifice, both fleshly mind and fleshly body must be left behind before we can enter into the “Holiest of All”, perfected as partakers of the Divine Nature and its…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Once again having entered the first apartment of the Tabernacle proper, the “Holy” we noticed three distinctive pieces of furniture in this room, the most notable being the Golden Lampstand, the only source of light for this room. This lampstand we determined represents the Church, both its Head and body as bearers of light (truth). The light which emanated from this Lampstand representing the light (or enlightenment) of the Holy…
