I have been very concerned about something that has been going on since the bombing in Oklahoma. I want you to know I have lost several nights of sleep. When we turned the news on last Tuesday morning and saw what a tragedy had been thrust upon those poor people, it was hard to think…

“For nation shall rise against nation.” That has been a picture ever since WW2. On an October morning, it was a chilly morning, I was on Okinawa. The war was over, (WW2) and we were waiting our turn to come home. A second lieutenant called us out; and we sat down on a grassy knoll….

America never has had the desire to conquer the people of other nations and seize their land to enlarge ours. On the contrary, she has always stood ready to help other nations when it seemed right to do so. She has been a leader in bringing the people of other nations together in a healing…

Can You See the Picture? That is our title, but it is also a question I am asking, because we are getting close to the time when all the bride should be getting this end time picture straight in their mind. We are dealing with the book of Revelation…

When it looked like Polycarp was not going to die, one man picked up a sword and pierced his side: blood came rushing out and almost put the fire out. That is what history declares about this occasion…

Have you ever stopped to wonder why theologians from various denominations have so many different versions of the word of God? Have you ever considered the fact that none of their theology has ever produced a genuine revelation from God’s word? Do you know what actually got the human family off course?

As we go into this part of our message, we want to show how the author of life dwelling int eh lives of believers actually caused them to exemplify Jesus Christ in their daily lives…

The world is full of people who will say, sure I beleive in God. But when you open the Bible and try to present a true revelation of what is recorded therein, they will draw a line, and forbid you to cross it….

We ended part one looking at a few verses in John, chapter 17, where Jesus was praying to the Father, as the time drew near for Him to lay down His life for the sins of lost mankind…

Christ was born sometime in the early fall months in Bethlehem of Judaea, a small town approximately six miles from Jerusalem, which is approximately 105 miles from Nazareth the hometown of the Virgin Mary who bore Christ…

We can say that this book was the last revelation, prophetic wise, ever given to the church the universal church of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. The last revelation they had ever received up until a few years ago. After this book was written in letter form and sent to the seven churches, it later was…

There will come a day when the bride will have seen enough that she will begin to look up, knowing that the time is at hand for her to take her flight…

We have sketches here, of pictures that portray two settings in the Bible. One is of the garden that we read about in Genesis. The other is a city that is different than any other city you have ever heard of…

We want to consider all of what John wrote about this city as we go along. Before I begin reading again let me say this, The little drawing you see up here behind me is just an illustrative drawing of how John no doubt looked upon this city as he saw it coming down from…

Turn with me to Revelation 2 where we shall endeavor to teach a subject concerning a certain influential church called Ephesus, which was founded in the first Gentile age on Paul’s third missionary journey. Here it was that God lit Himself a spiritual candle which shined throughout all Asia for three years…

For ages, Christianity as well as the Old Testament Jewish saints have all believed that someday there would be a resurrection of the dead, but not until Paul’s revelation unto the church was it known the order of the resurrection and that God intended to have a translation (or catching away) of the living saints…

In a day when so many preachers and individuals are saying that we no longer have any need for the Old Testament part of the Bible, I still find many beautiful types set forth in it that pertain to the Gentile bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. One of which, I would like for us…

What is the Holy Ghost? What will He do for the believer? How can he dwell in a believer? Do you have to speak in tongues to receive the Holy Ghost?

In the past few weeks you have heard the Millennium, the Millennium, the Millennium. What does it mean? Does it mean Jesus is coming when the year 2000 rolls around? No. That event cannot come that soon. Does it mean that the systems of the world will be thrown into chaos? That is a possibility,…

We have already spoken of how God was to deal with Israel to get her to start coming back into the land. We used the 10th chapter of Zechariah, how Judah would be the believing tribe that would carry on, and would actually be a warrior to fight the early battles. That is what Judah…

We are a people that believe very strongly that we are living in the last days of time. There are too many written scriptures in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, that show us that the human race of people on the earth today are facing a point in…

Let us hold what we have learned from the other scriptures we have considered and go right to the 19th chapter of Isaiah, where it tells about Egypt. We see Israel launching out, reclaiming their rightful heritage and the effects of such an event, so notice, as we look further into the consequences…

This is a message I preach basically to try to address the Jewish people. Our Contender paper is going into Israel now. I want to say to the Jewish people that might have the opportunity to hear this, You might question a Gentile’s mind of having the ability to know anything about the prophetic picture…

This is turning into quite a lengthy subject, but there are yet quite a few points we need to cover while we are dealing with it. I am doing my best, by the grace of God, to present these prophecies in a way that will be meaningful to everyone and I pray that somewhere…
