Psa. 71:17---"O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works."
26. SHINTOISM AND NON-PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY
Our text for this afternoon's study is found in---To illustrate the subject of our study this afternoon, let us take for example the book which the Denomination has put out on Daniel and The Revelation, the two most invalued books of the Bible. The book which I have in mind was originally entitled Thoughts on Daniel and The Revelation. It is written in scholarly fashion, and so convincing are its contents that thousands of copies have been sold all over the world in a number of languages. Anyone that can write a book like it, evidently has great knowledge. We should however, examine to see how much understanding is there on the books of Daniel and of The Revelation themselves.
28. THE SPIRIT THAT ORIGINATED EVIL, AND ITS MANIFESTATION TODAY
Our text is found in Isaiah, chapter 2, verse 22---
Isa. 2:22---"Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils:
for wherein is he to be accounted of?
29. TRUTH'S DECREE ON EARTH IS THE DECREE IN HEAVEN
Our text is in the sixteenth chapter of Matthew. I shall begin with
verses 13 and 14.
Matt. 16:13,14---"When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and
others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets."
The text for our subject this afternoon is Malachi's prophecy. It treats of a revival and reformation such as the world has never yet known. Moreover, the fact that the prophecy is written in such a way as partially to apply to ancient Israel, and yet specifically for the people in the latter days, for those who are approaching the great and dreadful day of the Lord, prove that the reformation needed in Malachi's day is needed also in our day.
31. THE RESTORATION AND THE TIME
Our text is found in the third chapter of Acts:
Acts 3:19-21---"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your
sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the
presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was
preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution
of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets
since the world began."
Here we see that those who come up in the first resurrection shall
not only live again, but shall die no more.
Now to find our answer to the question, What shall man be like if
he lives again? We shall first turn to the book of Genesis:
33. THE CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY- WHEN AND HOW DONE?
Our text is found in Daniel chapter eight, verse 14. I shall begin
with verse 13.
"Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that
certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the
daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the
sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto
two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
34. IF YOU WERE NOTHING WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO BE?
Our text is found in:
1 Kings 3:5---"In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream
by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee."
35. "The Lord Our Righteousness"
Our text is found in Jeremiah 23, beginning with the fifth verse
down to the eighth, inclusive.
Jer. 23:5---"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will
raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper,
and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth."
