The Coming Kingdom: Lecture 2

Revelation 4 - 19: 10. Last week we were occupied with the vision given to John in Patmos. Being in the Spirit, he saw Jesus Christ in the midst of seven golden candlesticks, but with all the glorious insignia of the Ancient of days (yet Son of man) examining the churches. The whole scene was brough... Read More

On Heresy

Heresy is not departing from the figure of truth, but from the Spirit of truth, and it is the spirit of the heretic we are called upon to judge as a work of the flesh more than the fruit in the form of doctrine. The Scriptures are given to us by God as "a complete depository and standard of truth"; ... Read More

The Good News of God's Purpose in the Apocalypse

Better gospel than can be gleaned from the Apocalypse I know not. It is the book of the actings of God in power; in power for and by His Christ, in spite of man's and Satan's wickedness. The world, the flesh, and the Devil, with all His wiles, get ejected to make way for God (even the Father), for t... Read More

The History and Origins of Pretribulationism

George E. LaddThe Return to Futurism With the dawn of the nineteenth century, there occurred a movement which brought about a return to the primitive view and which also gave rise to pretribulationism.

Not Wrath, but Rapture: Part 3

Harry IronsideWHICH SAINTS WILL BE IN THE GREAT TRIBULATION? It is evident from the word of God that certain saints will be found on earth in the days of the great tribulation.

Answers to Objections

"The important thing is having Jesus in the glory as our hope; a very subordinate thing, the question when shall we be in the glory with Him. If anyone's teaching made the saints value Jesus as their hope less, it would be sufficient to show their teaching to be faulty. But if it be only to the effe... Read More

Musings on the Apocalypse

The opening of this wondrous book gives us its title and character--"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him." For it will be found, I judge, to be a revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ in such characters of glory and power as He derives from God, or a revelation of Him in the exerci... Read More

Heaven and Earth

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The scene of the divine handiwork was twofold; and, accordingly, "in the dispensation of the fulness of times," God will display Himself again, both in heaven and on earth. I would begin my meditation on this divine subject with Genesis 1 - 47... Read More

Nebuchadnezzar

Daniel 1 - 4. There is much interest attaching to the person of this great Gentile. The place he occupies in the progress of the divine dispensations, the circumstances which connect him with the saints of God, and his own personal history--all contribute to give him a place in our recollections, an...

Woollen and Linen

"Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together" Deut. 22: 11. The path of the church of God is a narrow path, such a one that the mere moral sense will continually mistake it. But this should be welcome to us, because it tells us that the Lord looks that His saints ... Read More
