Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 25-27 continued, “See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the bright-shiner [the Sun] cometh out of the East, but shines even unto the West, so shall the presence of the Son of Man be.” “Some time back in Detroit a vision of Mary appeared on the side…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 25-27 continued, “Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (AV) “The thought here, in the Greek is “For as the sun-light rises out of the…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 25-27 “See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. “For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Having in our previous posts (Parts 22-42) expounded upon the Lord’s warnings found in Verses 24 and…
Revelation Chapter 8 “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the…
Revelation Chapter 8 Once again we would like to take a look at Verses 3-5 and the censer-bearing angel as explained in The Keys of Revelation. “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the…
Revelation Chapter 8 VERSE 3 continued, “Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.” THEN ANOTHER ANGEL: This angel is Jesus —the same one who in Rev 1:13 is standing in the midst of the Seven Churches which these Seven Trumpets serve. There HE has a voice “LIKE a…
Revelation Chapter 8 VERSE 3 “Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.” Why is the Incense Altar Inserted Here? Why are we being shown the seven angels being given trumpets, and then before we see what the trumpets are we have the description of the incense altar scene?…
Revelation Chapter 8 Introduction to the Seven Trumpets (Rev 8:2-6) A WORD REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS INTRODUCTION For reasons which will become more apparent when Verse 6 is discussed, it is likely that the Introduction to the Seven Trumpets is constructed something like this: Verse 2: introduces the angels & their trumpets. Verses 3-5: are Parenthetical Verse 6: Re-introduces the angels & their trumpets. This kind of construction has precedent in Revelation. For an example, see Chapter 12 Verses…
Revelation Chapter 5 VERSE 11 “Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.” THEN I LOOKED: For the fourth time in this chapter (5:1, 2, 6) John directs our attention elsewhere. Now he is looking forward to the time when his last sentence (5:10 —“they will reign upon the earth”) will be true….
Revelation Chapter 5 VERSE 9 “And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” “After Christ had proven worthy, all the scriptures could then in perfect correctness and harmony point to him as the one who did it. The new song that they sing is the revealing…
