revelation-4:8

We have four Scriptures, in distant parts of the Word, which find connection with this subject, "The Redemption of the Inheritance." I mean Lev. 25: 25; Deut. 25: 5-10; Ruth 4: 1-10; Jer. 32: 6-15. The ordinance in Lev. 25 teaches us, that an Israelite might redeem or buy the inheritance of an impov... Read More

'The Opened Heavens' Hebrews 1, 2. The Epistle to the Hebrews strikingly illustrates one quality of the Book of God. It may be read in various lights; yet no one ray interferes with another. In six or seven ways this epistle could be read with the greatest ease. I will specially look now at the firs... Read More

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The scene of the divine handiwork was twofold; and, accordingly, "in the dispensation of the fulness of times," God will display Himself again, both in heaven and on earth. I would begin my meditation on this divine subject with Genesis 1 - 47... Read More

Were we, if I may so speak, to go in upon the fields of the New Testament scriptures, and gather up fragments of the glories of coming days, we should find them, I do not say, lying there profusely, but still we should find them there, and we should at least have a handful to feed upon. There is no ... Read More

It is not so much of Enoch himself that I now purpose, in the Lord's grace, I would hope, to write a little, but rather of the times and the saints before the flood. Whether it be of them or of him, the materials, as we know, are very scanty; but in the way and wisdom of the Spirit of God, they are ... Read More

EZEKIEL 10:20 This is the living creature, that I saw under the God of Israel, by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the Cherubim.

And now we have that great privilege of going back to the future in our study of Revelation. Open your Bible again to chapter 1 and let me make a brief comment. Someone last week said, "There are 404 verses in the book of Revelation, you covered half of the first one, we calculate that's 808 message... Read More

Open your Bible, if you will, to Luke chapter 2. Second chapter of Luke records the birth of Jesus Christ, records the historical event of the Word becoming flesh, of the One by whom all things were made becoming man.
