The Antichrist Chapter 13 BABYLON AND THE ANTICHRIST. We arrive now at a branch of our subject upon which the Lord’s people are in evident need of instruction: they have less light here than on most prophetic themes. And perhaps we should not be surprised at this. The very name Babylon means confusi... Read More

The Antichrist Chapter 15 ANTICHRIST AND BABYLON (Rev. 18). In our last chapter we sought to show that in Revelation 17 "the great Whore," and "Babylon the great," though intimately connected, are yet distinct; the former being the representative of the latter.

The Antichrist Chapter 6 THE DOOM OF THE ANTICHRIST. If there is a measure of difficulty attending the placing and elucidation of some of the prophecies which depict the various phases and stages of the Antichrist’s career, the cloud lifts as the end is neared.

It was used with this literal meaning (as in Mk 12:3 "they took him and beat him and sent him away empty handed"). More often kenos is used figuratively referring to things that lack effecti...

In the closing pages of Scripture, we find the result of the Holy Spirit's work - the Bride of Christ. We also see there the result of Satan's counterfeit work - the Harlot church. John says, I saw the HOLY CITY, THE NEW JERUSALEM, beautiful as a BRIDE, descending from God. It was FILLED WITH THE GL... Read More
