These early chapters in Daniel do not constitute a history of Babylon; much more would be given if they were. A jump occurs from chapter 4, dealing with Nebuchadnezzar, to chapter 5, dealing with the last king of …
“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law” (Ps. 119:18).
There is never a week in the year when these valuable words are not made the vehicle of earnest prayer in some Christadelphian meeting …
Much of the Truth’s literature on the subject of Spirit Gifts has been confined to the Scriptural texts relative to the subject; and arguments as to their interpretation. It is because we have found that arguments of this nature are …
Well known as co-author of “Genesis Flood“, John Whitcomb has released (1972) this new book which should prove of interest to the same readers.
“Genesis Flood” — known to many of us already — is a well written account …
All people who have ever lived, have known personal problems to be faced and overcome; and this fact requires a thinking person, whether Christian, a Jew, a Moslem, or pagan, to consider the standards, and possibly the statutes, of his …
The English word “road” occurs only once in the A.V. and strange to say, does not mean a road or a highway at all. It refers to a raid conducted by David into enemy territory. The main English word in …
The campaign of Nebuchadnezzar in Egypt had been an outstanding success, and while there he would see the colossal statues which the Pharaohs had erected of themselves. Evidently this fired the imagination of Nebuchadnezzar. Why should …
In this issue we come to the stage of considering the evidence of scripture. What did happen at Pentecost? What had Jesus promised that the work of the comforter would be? The answer to these questions invites comparisons with 20th …
The difficulties of sound exposition occur in the later chapters of this prophecy. The earlier ones, while not devoid of the prophetic aspect, have not the intricacies of the later chapters, nor the same possibilities of double fulfillment. …
It is now necessary to bring this survey and study to a close. We have not covered every facet of the subject but we do feel we have laid a firm and reasonably comprehensive foundation. The question which forms our …
It was in the first year of Darius that the things recorded in chapter 9 took place. This would, therefore, be almost immediately after the overthrow of Babylon. ‘It is evident that there was correspondence between the prophets …
Much of what Isaiah foretold has already happened. Destruction was promised, and has come to…
— BABYLON (Chapter 13) — ASSYRIA (Chapter 14) — ETHIOPIA and EGYPT (Chapter 18-20) — ARABIA (Chapter 21) — PHOENICIA (Chapter 23)
But Chapter 24 …
A glance at the dictionary will show that “nature” is a word with a very broad spectrum of meanings; and this breadth carries over when “nature” is linked with “human”. This creates a built-in liability to misunderstandings and “communication barriers”; …
The dating of the vision of chapter 8 is “in the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar”, and this would be approaching the end of the power of Babylon. The vision was given to Daniel “in …
1. What do you think of the “day for a year” basis for interpreting prophetic dates generally?
Not much. I think it Is rather tenuous to base such a rule of thumb on specific references like Numbers 14:33-34 or Ezekiel …
It only needed now the three short days in the grave, the perplexity of visitations to an empty tomb, the gradual awakening realization that it was empty because the Lord had risen; the slowly and hardly won conviction in wooden …
Seeing that modern tongue-speakers dogmatically assert that Spirit Gifts did not die out after the Apostolic era they have an obligation to demonstrate this assertion from history. There is a similar situation here to that of the British Israelite. Both …
When we consider the qualities that we as Christians should possess we realise that the list is a most formidable one. Yet it is not for us to select from among them the ones that we would like to excel …
One missing link in the world situation has been the relative disinterest of many nations who have been able to ignore events in the Mideast. The oil shortage with its attendant worldwide economic recession has changed all that. From the …
Students of the Bible are well aware of the scarcity of Israel’s historical records, for long periods of time elapsed in which no events or records have come down to us. When invaders destroyed cities, inevitably records would be destroyed; …
As has already been suggested, while there are close similarities between chapter 2 and chapter 7 of this prophecy, there are also wide differences which will require careful study. This vision was given to Daniel in the first …
Definitely NO! That is, of course, understanding ‘mortal’ to mean what it usually means — ‘subject to death’ or ‘that which must inevitably die’.
But the matter cannot be disposed of so easily. ‘Mortal’ and ‘mortality’ …
No two objects in God’s wide universe are precisely identical in all respects. In fact, no single organic body, whether animate or inanimate, is exactly the same at one period of its existence as at another. …
Whilst the apostles, in the course of their labours in laying the foundations of the early ecclesias, have indicated the legitimate scope of our basis of fellowship, we feel that brethren generally will recognise the wisdom of …
For over 100 years we, the Brotherhood, have presented certain passages of scripture, to support a particular aspect of dogma, which dogma has been a focal point of strife and dissension amongst the Sons of God. As to whether this …
Paradise literally means “a park”, “a pleasure ground”. The Genesis story, Chapter 1, brings before us just such a “Paradise” as set up in “The Garden of Eden”. We are told that it was a garden of trees, for food, …
When we examine the charges of “Watchman” against us regarding the teaching he brands as original sin, a great deal of unfairness is obvious. To compare Christadelphian teaching with that of Catholicism appears to me to be a …
