Will the Temple be Rebuilt in Jerusalem?
Paul declares the New Testament temple to be the church.
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost…” I Cor. 6:19.
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? …for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” [...]
Antichrist Spirit
“Who is this antichrist? Is he the Emperor Domitian, the Gnostics, Nicolaitans, Nazareans, Cerinthians, Romish pontiffs, etc., etc.!
Answer:
Any person, thing, doctrine, system of religion, polity, etc., which is opposed to Christ, and to the spirit and spread of His gospel, is antichrist. We need not look for this imaginary being in any of the above [...]
The Wolf and the Lamb
“The wolf shall dwell with the lamb…” Isa. 11:6.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together…” Isa. 65:25.
Millennialists look for a literal 1000 year reign on earth when actual wolves and lambs will dwell together. Extending our vision beyond the two popular texts quoted above, to take in the whole sphere of scriptures, we will [...]
Sounding Forth the Seventh Trumpet
We most emphatically believe and proclaim that we are living in the time of the “breaking of silence” (Rev. 8:1) and the sounding forth of the seventh trumpet (Rev. 11:15-19), the last in the series of seven trumpets in Revelation. We rejoice because the truth of this “evening time” is again being sounded forth clearly [...]
The Seventy Prophetic Weeks of Daniel – Dan. 9:24-27
I. WHAT DOES THIS SIGNIFY?
The command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem here referred to was given to Ezra by Artaxerxes, king of Persia, 457 B.C. Ezra 7:1-28.
A careful study of Ezra and Nehemiah will show that not less than four decrees were given to build the house, walls, etc., of Jerusalem. But the one here [...]

The Fable of a Great, Seven Year Tribulation
Millennial dreamers, as usual, are found taking scriptures out of context and grossly misapplying them to force them into their incredulous age to come scheme. Their abuse of Matt. 24:21 and Dan. 9:26-27 are just another example of this.
They imagine the former to support a seven year tribulation period yet to come, when nothing [...]
History of the Millennialists
– Pagans Believed it First -
Christians originally borrowed the idea of a millennium from the Jews, but in its widest sense the idea was not original with the Jews. Various heathen nations–Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome–had an idea of a future golden age of the world when evil would be suppressed. [...]
The Israel of God
Premillennialists have a tremendous interest in literal Israel. News from the Middle East is of great concern to them. To them I must say, “It is time to say goodbye to the Old Testament covenant, folks.” Israel as a favoured people, Jerusalem as a holy city, the Old Testament temple with all the ordinances and [...]
Everlasting Punishment
The subject of the final destiny of those who persist in a life of wickedness has not been left to the mere opinions of men, but is a matter of revelation in the Christian scriptures. Furthermore, the knowledge which we possess of the manner of God’s dealings with sinful men in the past would [...]
A Secret Rapture?
The scene is a Boeing 747 over the Atlantic Ocean. Most passengers are sleeping. Suddenly, some of the passengers start to vanish. One by one, the remaining passengers cry out in fear as they realize their fellow-passengers are missing. Parents are frantic, as all the children have disappeared.
Though this sounds like science fiction, it [...]
An Exegesis of Revelation 20:1-7
“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and [...]
