Book excerpt: Armageddon Bride is a passionate perspective of the times we live in, at the threshold of the end of the age. The battle for the bride of Christ is an intense spiritual battle being fought at every level of life--the individual and family, as well as educational, political, and governmental authorities. As Christians, our beliefs are under assault, and we are being called to understand the dangers of these times, which are ours to claim. Scripture says that Jesus is coming back for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Red-hot love and desire for our heavenly Bridegroom will be as an iron pressing out lukewarmness, compromise, and contamination. What will those days be like? How shall we prepare? These questions are answered as the daily occurrence of political and social events begin to reveal the growing intensity of the challenges facing Christian believers in today's world. Readers will learn that the eternal Word of God will give us the direction needed and secure us in the promise that His glory to be revealed. It will be the greatest battle of all times and the greatest victory, through Jesus!

Download or read book Armageddon s Glorious End written by David R. Manzano and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This latest contribution to the understanding of the Bible’s final book will be a welcomed addition to anyone’s personal library. The author is quick to admit that Revelation has many strange images and perplexing elements. However, he is just as quick to stress that these images and elements are not the focus. The Apostle John, in writing this apocalyptic volume, centers the attention on Jesus Christ, the only hope for those who have accepted Him as Lord and Savior, as well as those who still need to. Many people know Revelation for its striking, confusing symbolism. Many of these people would experience less confusion if they realized that most of these symbols are borrowed by the beloved disciple from other parts of the Bible. Manzano is faithful and responsible in allowing the Bible to interpret itself and establishing the Old Testament, especially the book of Daniel, as the foundation for decoding Revelation’s “mysteries.” As Bible prophecy continues to unfold, and this world continues to unravel like a cheap sweater, the frustration and turmoil that ensues will dissipate by the encouraging tone of this book. Readers are subsequently prompted to dive into Revelation and study afresh to reconnect with the Lamb/King around whom its messages revolve.

Download or read book Covenant and the Metaphor of Divine Marriage in Biblical Thought written by Sebastian R. Smolarz and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his commentary on Hosea, H. W. Wolff proposed that the divine marriage metaphor is the central metaphor of the entire OT. In Hebrew prophetic books, the metaphor reflected the covenantal relationship between Yahweh and his people. No other metaphor reached as deeply into the heart of this relationship or better described the tragedy of a broken relationship between Yahweh and his people. No other metaphor expressed more fully the abundance of God's grace shown in the promise of covenant restoration and renewal in the eschaton. In this volume, Polish Reformed academic Sebastian Smolarz demonstrates that the divine marriage metaphor is also one of the leading NT metaphors used to describe God's restored covenant relationship with his people, especially in the Book of Revelation. Smolarz argues for continuity between OT and NT concepts and theologies in general, and for continuity between the Apocalypse and OT material in particular, showing that the Apocalypse has much in common with other parts of the NT. In doing so, he focuses on some Gospel parables and reads them against their OT background. He also examines instances of the divine marriage metaphor in Paul's theological reflections. The focus of Smolarz' volume is a covenantal reading of the Apocalypse. He argues that the metaphor helps to establish the Apocalypse's Sitz im Leben, which he relates to the main conflict between the faithful and the unfaithful within the people of God in the first century CE. His work establishes that the Apocalypse contains not only explicit instances, but also implicit references and many echoes of this covenantal metaphor.

This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is my first book followed by others that are on the way. We know and we sense the church is running out of time and space. Apostle Paul mentioned in the book of 1 Timothy 4:7 there will be bad days with many false teachings deceived by the demons. The Catholic worship Maria, saints, and angels. The Pentecostal Church worship the Holy Spirit, the Christians worship Jesus, and everybody ignores the father that Jesus recommends worship in spirit. The Old Testament and the Book of Revelation also are totally ignored, most of the pastors today preach the death and resurrection of Jesus. Nothing about God the Father or prophecy of the last days, nothing about the rapture of the church. In my book, I try to bring out some beautiful messages of the Old Testament and some messages of the coming of anti-Christ and the rapture of the church and about the new creation (Rom.1:25).

Download or read book Life study of Revelation written by Witness Lee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Revelation firstly reveals Christ (1:1), and secondly the testimony of Jesus (1:2). In other words, this book is concerned with Christ and the church. In Revelation, Christ and the church are revealed in a unique and particular way. Several aspects of Christ, such as the vision of Him as the High Priest in the midst of the churches, caring for them in love yet with a judging attitude (1:13-16), the vision of Him as the Lion-Lamb in the midst of God’s throne, and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the 24 elders of the universe opening the seven seals of God’s universal administration (5:1-6:1), and the vision of Him as Another Mighty Angel coming down from heaven to take possession of the earth (10:1-8; 18:1) have never been unveiled as they are in the book of Revelation. In this book, the revelation of Christ is unique and ultimate. In addition to this ultimate revelation of Christ, the book of Revelation also unveils many unique aspects of the church as the testimony of Jesus. The lampstands in chapter one, the great multitude of the redeemed in chapter seven, the bright woman with her man-child in chapter 12, the harvest with its firstfruits in chapter 14, the overcomers on the sea of glass in chapter 15, the bride ready for marriage and the fighting army of Christ in chapter 19, and the New Jerusalem in chapters 21 and 22 are all the testimony of Jesus which is the Spirit - the substance, the disposition, and the characteristic - of the prophecy in this book (19:10). The central content of this book is an unveiling of God’s economy concerning Christ and the church, presenting the ultimate and consummate revelation of Christ with His full salvation and the church as His loving bride, the New Jerusalem. In this book, we find the full and adequate conclusion, not only to the writings of John and to the New Testament, but also to the entire divine revelation.

Download or read book The Ministry of the Word Vol 5 No 1 written by Various Authors and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About This Issue of The Ministry In this issue of The Ministry we continue to see that the salvation of God is a matter of the Spirit and not the letter. According to God’s salvation, to repent is to turn from the things outside of God to God Himself, because the central thought of God’s salvation is that God Himself wants to come into man to be his life and nature. Then out of this life and nature there will be a result, that is, the excellent fruit borne of the Holy Spirit as the issue of the operation of God after He has entered into man. If we draw near to God, treasure Him, and live before Him in this way, we will live out His virtues by living in another realm, a realm in which the life of God is being expressed through us. In this issue we also include the last six messages of the Crystallization- study of Revelation held in the winter of 1999 in Long Beach, California. Message Seven strongly indicates that spiritual warfare is a necessity, as seen by the vision of the war in heaven and the war at Armageddon. God wants His creature man to deal with His fallen creature Satan; for this, the human will must stand with the divine will. The burden of Message Eight is that all the saints in the Lord’s recovery would be perfected in this age to reign with Christ in the kingdom of a thousand years in the next age. Messages Nine, Ten, Eleven, and Twelve conclude the training with the vision of the New Jerusalem as the ultimate consummation of several wonderful items. It is the consummation of the divine economy, of the divine building, of the divine romance, of the new covenant of grace, of the new creation, of the mingling of the Triune God with the tripartite man, and of the Triune God as our entrance, constitution, existence, enjoyment, living, and expression. Hallelujah! Last of all, we include reports concerning the Lord’s move in Armenia and Holland.

Download or read book The Ministry of the Word Vol 24 No 08 written by Various Authors and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of The Ministry of the Word contains the eight messages of the international training for elders and responsible ones hosted by Living Stream Ministry on October 2-4, 2020. The messages were provided via webcast from Anaheim, California, and the mutual fellowship, prophesying, and studying by groups were practiced locally in the various churches that participated. The general subject of this series of messages is "The Christian Life, the Church Life, the Consummation of the Age, and the Coming of the Lord." The present age--the age of grace, the age of the church--is the age of mystery, and the consummation of the age, the end of the age, will be the three and a half years of the great tribulation. In the dispensations from Adam to Moses and from Moses to Christ, everything was unveiled, and there was no mystery. It will be the same in the dispensation of the millennial kingdom and in the new heaven and new earth. However, in the dispensation from the incarnation of Christ to the millennial kingdom--the church age, the age of grace--everything is a mystery. During the church age, the age of mystery, Christ is building up the church, the Body of Christ, to be His bride. We need to see the signs of the Lord's second and imminent coming. The greatest sign of the end of this age, the last three and a half years of the great tribulation, is the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom to the whole inhabited earth. To be taken by the Lord, we need to be those who are watchful for His imminent coming and prepared and ready to be His bride so that we may be raptured before the great tribulation. Every day we need to be watchful by paying the price to buy the Spirit as the golden oil so that we may supply the churches with the Spirit for the testimony of Jesus and be rewarded by the Lord to participate in the marriage dinner of the Lamb. If we want to save our soul-life, we will lose it, but if we lose our soul-life for the Lord's sake, we will save it. If we allow our soul to suffer the loss of its soulish enjoyment in this age for the Lord's sake, we will cause our soul to have its enjoyment in the kingdom age; we will share the Lord's joy in ruling over the earth. If we lose our soul-life, we may participate in the rapture of the overcomers. The salvation of our soul is our receiving the end of our faith. Those who would receive the end of their faith are those whose faith has been proven by fire in this age, that is, proven by all kinds of circumstances, environments, and sufferings that cause the loss of their souls. The salvation of the soul means that our soul will be saved from sufferings into the full enjoyment of the Lord at His coming back. We must be faithful in service in the Lord's commission to give God as food to the members of His household so that we may win Christ as our reward in the coming kingdom. God has set faithful and prudent slaves over His household as household administrators, stewards, channels of supply, to give His people food at the proper time, that is, to minister the word of God and Christ as the life supply to the believers in the church. Furthermore, we must be faithful in service in the Lord's gifts to make a profit for Him so that we may enter into the joy of the Lord in the coming kingdom. The prayer of the age is the prayer of the church as the Body of Christ, the prayer that exercises the authority of Christ as the ascended Lord and Head of the Body, for the fulfilling of God's economy. To fully enter into this kind of prayer and be able to exercise the authority given by the Head to the Body, we need to realize that we are members of the Body, and we must live, act, and move in the Body. In His heavenly ministry Christ is interceding, ministering, and executing God's administration, and we need to be those who respond to Christ's activities in His heavenly ministry by our prayers in the church as the temple of God, a house of prayer. We need revelation to know the reality of the Body of Christ and to enter into the realm and intrinsic significance of the reality of the Body of Christ as God's heart's desire and His ultimate purpose. Only a revelation from God will usher us into the realm of the reality of the Body of Christ, and only then will the Body become our experience. In order to live together with other members in the reality of the Body of Christ, we need to have a consciousness of the Body of Christ. The overcomers typified by Zion are the reality of the Body of Christ and consummate the building up of the Body in the local churches to bring in the consummated holy city, New Jerusalem, the Holy of Holies as God's dwelling place in eternity. We need to follow Paul's pattern of having an overcoming life of fighting the good fight, finishing our course, and loving the Lord's appearing. To fight the good fight of the faith means to fight for God's New Testament economy; in particular, it is to fight for Christ as the embodiment of God and for the church as the Body of Christ. A proper Christian life involves running the course, the race, for the carrying out of God's economy according to His eternal purpose. We need to seek out the journey that the Lord has ordained for us and faithfully walk on it, paying any price to wholeheartedly continue on our journey until we reach the end. The journey that the Lord has ordained for us is the race that we must run with endurance by looking away unto Jesus as the Author and Perfecter of our faith. As those who love the Lord Jesus, take Him as our life, live Him, and magnify Him, we should await His coming and love His appearing. This should be our heart's desire and our living as those who hope to enter into His joy, be saved into the Lord's heavenly kingdom, and receive the crown of righteousness. God's desire is to end this age and bring in the age of the kingdom. In order for God to accomplish this, He must have His dispensational instrument. All of us should look to the Lord and pray that we will have dispensational value to God. Because the church has not attained to God's purpose, God will choose a group of overcomers who will attain to His purpose and fulfill His demand; this is the principle of the man-child. The man-child consists of the overcomers who stand on behalf of the church, take the position that the whole church should take, and do the work for the church. The rapture of the man-child to heaven, the casting of Satan to earth, and the declaration in heaven that the kingdom has come signify that God's gaining of the man-child is His greatest dispensational move because it brings an end to the church age and introduces the kingdom age. The Announcements section at the end of this issue contains a list of upcoming conferences and trainings hosted by Living Stream Ministry and a website link for information related to similar events in Europe.
