87. The Crowning Day. Part 2

2nd June 1996 by Arthur Eedle

INTRODUCTION. Our first paper was devoted almost entirely to the story of Joash. But now we must ask a few questions about chronology, because we want to know when God’s Kingdom will be set up. A number of Biblical pointers will help us in this enquiry.

THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS. One of the N.T. Apocryphal Books is that of Barnabas. In quoting it, we shall not be treating it as having the same authority as Scripture. But it does show us how people in the 2nd century A.D. were thinking. [Read more…]

86. The Crowning Day. Part 1

1st June 1996 by Arthur Eedle

Our Lord is now rejected,
And by the world disowned,
By the many still neglected,
And by the few enthroned;
ut soon He’ll come in glory!
The hour is drawing nigh,
For THE CROWNING DAY is coming By-and-by.
Oh, the Crowning Day is coming!
Is coming by-and-by!
When our Lord shall come in power
And glory from on high!
Oh, the glorious sight will gladden
Each waiting, watchful eye,
In THE CROWNING DAY that’s coming By-and-by.

55. Millenial Kings and Priests

1st August 1994 by Arthur Eedle

We have just reached the 20th chapter of Revelation in our Bible Study series. After reading of all the miseries and wretchedness of the Beast system, and the cunning craftiness of Satan, it was like a breath of fresh air to read that the earth had been rid of them for a thousand years, and that God’s elect were being prepared for kingly rule. And so we investigated the theme in some detail, and came up with some very interesting information, which we should now like to share. [Read more…]

44. National Identity

2nd September 1992 by Arthur Eedle

As we approach the climax of the ages, and God begins to establish His Kingdom on earth in a visible manner, the subject of national identity and sovereignty will assume vital importance. The Scriptures declare unambiguously that God favours the establishment of nations, each with its own identity, customs, and manners, even though the “Kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.” The United Kingdom of Christ is a spiritual foundation stone, but it will contain all the varieties of national characteristics. Even as each human being is unique in God’s creation, so also each nation in the Millennium will be unique. Furthermore, each nation will be self-governing, not ruled by other nations. Each nation will need to look to the Spiritual Head over all nations, even the Lord Christ Himself. [Read more…]

36. On Your Toes!

1st February 1991 by Arthur Eedle

Many attempts have been made to interpret the books of Daniel and Revelation. No two commentaries seem to agree. Theories abound. It’s obvious they cannot all be correct! And if we enter the arena, can we hope to do any better? We are not claiming to have any or all the answers, but wish to share an understanding which we feel is important, especially at this time, when the Middle East powder keg seems ready to blow up in the faces of all mankind.

22. Behold He Comes!

1st September 1988 by Arthur Eedle

All the signs tell us of the Lord’s near return. Many of God’s people are writing enthusiastically about this, even composing songs and choruses to thrill the heart to this blessed theme. There are books without number to expound the ‘mechanics’ of His return, and some magazines are devoted almost entirely to topics related to the Second Coming. [Read more…]

1b. The time has almost run it’s course

1st May 1986 by Arthur Eedle

PLEASE GIVE SERIOUS THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION TO THIS MESSAGE

In 1967, at the outset of the Charismatic movement, God gave a clear prophetic word for the days ahead. It was a word that caused one to tingle with excitement, that made faith leap to new heights, and caused spiritual vision to see new horizons. It spoke of God’s last great harvest before the return of His Son, and was a clear call for action. It spoke of God’s own plan for these end days, His desire for all nations, and the coming of the Kingdom of God. It spoke of the necessity for deep and committed preparation through trials, hardships, perplexities, and refinements as the daily life for all those who saw the meaning of the vision, and desired to be part of its outworking.
