Revelation Chapter 19, Part 3

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…

Revelation Chapter 19, Part 1

Revelation Chapter 19 UNIVERSAL REJOICING (Rev 19:1-10) Introductory Remarks Chapter 19 divides clearly into two sections. The first 10 verses are an extension of Chapter 18 showing the rejoicing following the destruction of Babylon and the glorification of the Church and Great Company. Its impact would probably be more powerful had the editors of the Bible placed the chapter division after verse 10. Verses 11-21 are significant in that they provide the LAST descriptive picture of the destruction of Churchianity…

“A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH” But some, perhaps, may say, Did not Jesus contradict the thought that he was a spirit when he used the words, A spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see me have? The two thoughts are quite in harmony: they were not seeing the spirit Jesus, they were merely seeing the flesh and bones which the spirit Jesus assumed (or manifested himself) for the purpose of conversing with them, just as the angels assumed…

MARY THE FIRST WITNESS The honor of being the first witness to whom our Lord manifested himself after his resurrection came to Mary Magdalene, who at one time was possessed by evil spirits, but who, being freed from their domination became a faithful and loyal follower of Jesus. This was not the Mary, sister of Lazarus and Martha, neither was it Mary the “sinner,” who washed our Lord’s feet with her tears in the Pharisee’s house. She is called Mary…

Golden Text: – “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept.” – 1 Cor. 15:20. “MANY INFALLIBLE PROOFS” Then comes in our Golden Text, in which the Apostle reassures us that it is no fable, that Christ arose from the dead, that it was not only necessary to our salvation, but that it is a fact well attested. He proceeds in his argument to show that thus by the resurrection of Christ…

John 20:11-23 Golden Text: – “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept.” – 1 Cor. 15:20. While the death of Christ was the greatest event in history, his resurrection from death readily holds second place. The death of Christ without his resurrection would have left our race just as helpless and hopeless as before. The word death signifies the absence of life just as truly when applied to our Redeemer as…

Revelation Chapter 18 VERSE 24 “And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.” AND IN HER WAS FOUND: once it is all over, people will probe her ruins — investigate her history and her secrets. THE BLOOD: — the spilled blood, the mis-used life and merit OF PROPHETS: — of Old Testament teachings AND OF SAINTS: — of the Gospel Age faithful AND OF ALL WHO HAVE BEEN…

Revelation Chapter 18 Brother Shallieu gives another unique perspective of Verses 22 and 23  “And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and…

Revelation Chapter 18, Part 16

  Revelation Chapter 18 It is interesting to note that Isaiah 24 parallels Rev 18:21-24 even as Isaiah 23 paralleled the earlier verses. Rev 18:22, 23 describe desolation. “The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.” “The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the…
