This magazine was published bi-monthly for 24 years. Edited from the UK, it was distributed in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.
You don’t of course expect all your readers to agree with all your argument. I would therefore like to mention two points.
The first is your assertion, repeated in No.12, that Ezekiel 37 has already been fulfilled and we are …
The first address upon a religious subject which Dr. John Thomas ever gave* was an attempt to expound the prophecy found in Dan.2. Some twelve months later he began to publish his first magazine, “The …
Turning now from the social signs which indicate these as the last days, we look at events political, national and international. We go first to Jesus’ prediction concerning the captivity of his nation Israel, known as the Olivet prophecy, where we …
which was one of the nations committed to push Israel into the so busily engaged in warfare with Iraq that she has been unable Arab league in their project. The angels have been very busy in late; The process …
The book of Esther is seldom quoted from our platforms. It is read following the course of the Bible Companion once each year, and quite possibly it soon slips from our minds, should it be the subject of a Bible …
The first words of the Gospel of John are meant to recall the first words of Genesis: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth … And God said, Let there be light: and there was light … …
What is the result of learning? The theorists tell us it is change. If you learn something, you have added it to yourself and change has resulted; you are different.
What is the result of learning about the Lord Jesus? …
In the last article I tried to show that the Comforter of Israel was the Angel of the Presence, whom God sent to Israel to lead them out of Egypt into the wilderness (first to Sinai, where God met His …
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not” (1 John 3:1). Therefore the high …
That Jesus was God’s Son requires no proof here. The Proverbs, then, as part of his Bible, must have been known and loved by him. In this article we now want to think of some ways in …
Most people know that the words translated “angel” in both Old and New Testaments simply mean “messenger” (‘malak’ in the Old, ‘angelos’ in the New). If the translators had followed this literal meaning, and put ‘messenger’ each …
Usually in explanation of this difficult passage we refer to the Spirit of Christ in Noah. The passage then, in practice, is concerned with the preaching of righteousness by Noah to his contemporaries. I believe there is another explanation, to …
One might well wonder what was behind the fig leaves which Adam and Eve adopted as coverings. They seemed to defeat their intention by drawing attention to themselves. Was each concerned to cover the other or themselves? Later they hid …
The word ‘amphictyony’ (nice word, isn’t it?) describes a loose association of neighbouring groups for a common religious purpose.
It is the situation in the Judges period from Moses to the beginning of the Monarchy, a period of about five …
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. . .”
There’s something fascinating about the English language: either it is poverty stricken, so that one word has to suffice for a dozen different ideas, or we who speak …
Learning produces change – change of understanding, change of outlook, change of action. That is why we either resist learning because the change is a struggle against ourselves, or we prefer to learn things at a theoretical level rather than …
This question has always been the subject of conjecture and is still; but the FACT of His coming has been determined by God, and the day likewise. We have been warned to be …
The Septuagint is not automatically authoritative or correct in its translation of the Hebrew. If it were to be so regarded, there would be no name of God to discuss, for it nowhere occurs in the Greek Old Testament. Indeed, …
One thing is clear; the Fourth Gospel is very different from the other three. While Matthew, Mark and Luke are often printed together in Gospel Parallels, rarely is any attempt made to include John with these “Synoptic …
Is there any connection between the Four Gospels and the Cherubim? In Ezekiel 1:10 we are told that the four cherubim each had the faces of a lion, an ox, a man and …
Last time we decided to test the theory that the Four Gospels relate to the four aspects of Jesus represented by the four faces of the Cherubim. There are several theories as to which gospel links with which …
In my researches into this subject I have come across a very useful book, which appears to be the origin of many Christadelphian comments on the topic. It is “The differences of the Four Gospels” by Andrew …
“Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward” (Gen.15:2).
In Genesis is the beginning of the record of God’s dealings with certain people whom He chose, to whom He made promises, and was …
The seven wonders of the ancient world pale into insignificance beside the wonder enacted between Deuteronomy and I Samuel – our readings for May-June; a wonder which astounded the ancient world, and left an indelible mark on man’s concept of …
We have in previous studies considered the significance of the word Adonay – it is a plural word and signifies ‘rulers.’ (See Bible Student Vol.3, page 57.) Adonay Yahweh is the usual form of this name-title combination and …
We come now in our studies to consider the name of God which has been suppressed in the English Bible. As noted earlier, whenever in the Authorized Version we have LORD in capitals, or GOD in capitals, the divine name …
It is indisputable that both idols and idolatry are altogether abominable and obnoxious to the Eternal Lord God Almighty. This is made abundantly clear by the revelation of Himself in His Holy Word. God’s word to Israel was,
“Thou shalt …
The final two chapters are a last appeal to the northern kingdom of Israel to repent while there is still time, to turn from their idols to the true God, and so escape the terrible punishment awaiting them – of …
A song is designed for singing. This may seem a rather obvious truth; yet I have never heard anyone suggest …
Although we in the Truth have better things to do than to spend valuable time listening to much of what is presented by the BBC and other radio stations, the listening to religious broadcasts can be instructive and, as with news broadcasts, …
