This is an excerpt from: Why Israel? Now one final fact about this situation which is very, very critical is what is the real issue behind it all? I mean it is absurd, approximately half the resolutions of the United Nations have been made about [...]

This is an excerpt from: Why Israel? Now this has a solemn message for the nations. Not least for Britain, in fact in many ways first and foremost for Britain, because Britain played a special role in all of this. Turning to Joel chapter 3 verses 1 [...]

This is an excerpt from: Why Israel? Now, all this has a very important application to you and me in Britain amongst other places. If you'll turn to Isaiah chapter 11 God says what the significance of the restoration of Israel is to be for [...]

This is an excerpt from: Why Israel? Now, I want to turn to one of the most exciting chapters for me in the Bible and that's Ezekiel chapter 36. Here is a brief stage by stage description of the return of the Jewish people to their own land. [...]

This is an excerpt from: Why Israel? Now I want to come to possibly the most controversial topic in contemporary politics which is God's plan for the land of Israel, mistakenly called Palestine. Let me point out to you that is totally contrary [...]

This is an excerpt from: Why Israel? Now I'm going to point out to you another unique fact about the Jewish people, absolutely unique. Their whole history was foretold in prophecy. That's not true of any other nation, but the whole [...]

This is an excerpt from: Why Israel? Now we are going to try something ambitious this evening. We are going to give you a scripture quotation, which is the whole of Psalm 124. Unless the LORD had been on our side, let Israel now say... unless the [...]

Now we are going to try something ambitious this evening. We are going to give you a scripture quotation, which is the whole of Psalm 124. Unless the LORD had been on our side, let Israel now say... unless the LORD had been on our side when men rose [...]

We're commencing this session at the beginning of Hebrews 4. This is in the middle of one of the warning passages that I pointed out to you, the longest of all of them. It began in Hebrews 3:7 and it continues through to chapter 4, verse 13. [...]

If you look now in your outline, Page 3/2, you'll see that this is the first occurrence of the word rest. And between this verse and chapter 4, verse 13, this word occurs 12 times. Without any question, a major theme of this particular section [...]

We have arrived at Page 3/1. We'll look very briefly at the outline before we go on. This first verse of chapter 3 focuses on Jesus in two aspects: apostle and high priest. As apostle He was sent forth to perform the task of redemption. Having [...]

All right. Going on to verses 22–28: "And you shall make on the breastpiece chains of twisted cordage work in pure gold. And you shall make on the breastpiece two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. [...]

In our previous session we got to the end of Hebrews 2 and we could just quickly glance again at those closing words. That is, Hebrews 2:17–18 where we have the first mention in the text of high priest which is a key point in the unfolding [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 2 We come to the end but let me point out one aspect of Satan's deception. We go back to Revelation 16 and we just read verse 13. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs... Here in [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 2 Let's go on. I didn't ever get to where I was getting to! Matthew 24:23-24. My theme is this: For false... 'Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah, or [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 2 Let's turn back now to Revelation 12 for a moment and I want to point out another aspect of that verse. Revelation 12:9: So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 2 We're going back to Revelation 13, we'll look a little further on, verses 6-7. Then he [this is the antichrist] opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 2 Let's go on with the picture of the beast. Verse 3 of Revelation 13: I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world marveled [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 2 There is a theory which I'm not necessarily endorsing, let me go back a moment. I want to emphasize this is a theory only. It states that in the time of Noah, angelic beings cohabited [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 2 Now, let's talk for a little while on a very interesting theme which is the name of the antichrist. Let me not anticipate what I'm going to say, let me just say it. Jesus who was the [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 2 We have been looking at the picture, in the Scriptures, of antichrist. I think it's perhaps good to recapitulate briefly some of the material that we've been working through. We said [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 1 So, let's just continue for a moment in the time that's left in this session and look at three other titles that are given to the antichrist. You'll find two of them in 2 [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 1 Now, the next thing we need to do is determine what are the distinctive marks the spirit of antichrist. How will we identify it? I suggest to you that there are three that are stated there in [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 1 Now, I'd like to turn to 1 John again and look at three different forms that the New Testament reveals antichrist. We'll look, first of all, in 1 John 2, beginning at verse 18. [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 1 Then in the same chapter Paul goes on to speak about an upsurge of the occult which again is one of the most dramatic changes in society in the western world since World War II. And in verses [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 1 And then in the world. We have a picture in 2 Timothy 3, the first 5 verses. 2 Timothy 3, beginning at verse 1: But know this In other words, be very certain of this fact. that in the last [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 1 I want, therefore, to take a few moments to point out some of the main feature of the period before the close of the age which particularly open the way for the manifestation of antichrists. [...]

This is an excerpt from: True and False Christ - Part 1 Our theme in this session and in the next one will be 'True and False Christ.' I think it's appropriate to begin by saying a word of explanation about the word Christ, which for [...]

Turning back now to Hebrews 2:11. Hebrews 2:11: "For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified [those who are being sanctified] are all from one". Interestingly enough, there’s no verb are there. I’ve just noticed that for the [...]

In our previous study we covered the material in Hebrews 1. It’s not possible to give a detailed recapitulation but let me just remind you briefly that this chapter opens with this sevenfold presentation of the Lord Jesus Christ in His eternal, [...]

They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. - Psalm 106:13-15, KJV That's a description [...]

He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert. - Psalms 105:41, NIV That's a picture of God's provision for His people, Israel. In the forty years of their wandering through the wilderness, a dry and [...]

When the Lord shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory. He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. This will be written for the generation to come, and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord. [...]

My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass. But you, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations. You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time [...]

We’re going to continue now in Hebrews 1:4. As your outline points out, this is the first of the seven comparisons which are contained. This time it’s a comparison between Jesus and angels. The writer sets out to show how Jesus is absolutely unique [...]

I’m going to very briefly review the material that we covered last time. First of all, there was a preliminary explanation of how we’re going to do this. The most important thing for you to get out of that is I will be reading from the Greek New [...]

A lot of Jewish people say there is no such thing as a Jew who’s a Christian. So, Jews who believe in Jesus, of whom, thank God, there are many, have taken other forms such as "Jewish believers" or "Hebrew Christians" just to [...]

For the first part of this first session I’m going to be giving you some preliminary explanation as to the way I will be teaching and how you can benefit best from it. Some of you may feel this is just a kind of option, that it’s not of much [...]

We have been looking at the picture, in the Scriptures, of antichrist. I think it's perhaps good to recapitulate briefly some of the material that we've been working through. We said that the word anti has two meanings: against and in [...]
