Events Subsequent to the Return of Christ EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE RETURN OF CHRIST “The more we understand of what we profess to believe the stronger is our faith therein; and the nearer we approach its development, the more necessary it is, that a lively interest be kindled in us, that our lamps be well trimmed and our lights be found brightly burning (Matt. 25:4,7,10). ” John Thomas 1866 FOREWORD This volume of notes arose out of a Bible study class conducted by the Wilston Ecclesia (Queensland, Australia) during 1979 and 1980. Notes were produced and distributed at each fortnightly class. Subsequently the notes have been reprinted several times and are now available electronically. The work of Christ between his return to raise the responsible dead and the beginning of his universal rule over all the earth is a vast scriptural subject upon which many volumes could and have been written. The purpose of these notes is to bring this subject within the reach of all, including young people who may be considering this wonderful subject for the first time. In compiling these notes constant recourse has been made to the writings of our pioneers whose expositions of the prophetic scriptures have for a long time enabled Christadelphians to form a vivid mental picture of the world-shattering events that are now on the horizon. The writings of Brother H.P. Mansfield have also been invaluable in treating of these matters and we acknowledge our indebtedness to his articles in the Logos Prophetic Supplement of 1970-71. It remains the hope of the author that these notes may contribute something towards strengthening the vision of all who ‘love Christ’s appearing’, that we may be found ready to share with him in the glories of the future age and the events ushering it in.

After the example of Christ ‘who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross’ (Heb. 12:2), we need to understand and to fix our attention upon the events that will occur upon the earth after the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is our privilege now to ‘speak of the glory of God’s Kingdom’, for surely ‘Yahweh will do nothing, but he revealeth His secrets unto His servants the prophets’ (Amos 3:7). We have this assurance that if we make the things of the Kingdom ‘all our salvation, and all our desire’ (2 Sam. 23:5) then Yahweh ‘will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him’ (Ps. 145:19). The inevitable result of a poor or cloudy vision of the future is spiritual nakedness – i.e. the loss of our covering for sin and a return to our former unredeemed state. Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision” – chazown – mental sight, from a root chazah – to gaze at; mentally, to perceive, contemplate (with pleasure); specially to have a vision of. “the people perish” – para – to loosen; to expose, dismiss. Note the margin of the A.V.: “naked”. The word is translated 3 times as “naked” (note in particular Ex. 32:25). Roth. – “a people is let loose”. Youngs Lit. – “Without a vision is a people made naked”. THE NEED FOR WATCHFULNESS In his final message the Lord Jesus Christ warned his disciples that a failure to watch the signs that indicated his coming was near would result in ill-preparedness likened to nakedness. Revelation 16:15 “Behold, I come as a thief” – The Lord bases his words upon the familiar practices associated with the Temple guard. Every night 240 Levites and 30 priests were stationed in the precincts of the Temple to watch and guard the 24 gates of the Temple and its courts. Their duty was to remain awake and alert to prevent the entry of the unclean or forbidden. When these Levites and priests came on duty at sunset they put on a distinguishing garment of white linen. They had to stand watch until dawn without relief. At any time during the night the chief of the Temple guards known as ‘the temple captain’ (Acts 4:1) could make his rounds of the Temple. On his approach the guards had to arise and salute him in a particular manner. Any guard found asleep while on duty was arraigned before his fellow guards at dawn and publicly stripped of his garment which was burnt while he was summarily dismissed from his temple service. He departed naked and shamed before his brethren. It is not difficult to see the parallels with our position. We are all ‘temple watchers’ being charged with the responsibility of watching the doors of God’s spiritual house to prevent the entrance of anything unclean (2 Cor. 6:16-18). We have a ‘linen garment’ (Rev. 19:8) which we must keep ‘unspotted from the world’ (Jude 23, James 1:27). We watch in the night ‘until the day dawn, and the day star arise’ to dispel all darkness (2 Pet. 1:19; 2 Thess. 5:2-7). Our head may come during any watch of the night (Matt. 24:42-44) and will reject us if we are found asleep or unprepared (Matt.

  • 1 Doctrine of Ishmael 1. Ishmael Was the Firstborn Son of Abraham By
    Doctrine of Ishmael 1. Ishmael was the firstborn son of Abraham by Hagar, an Egyptian maid of his wife Sarah. Abraham was 86 at the time and had lived in Canaan for 11 years. 2. Sarah, the barren wife, in keeping with customs of her times as seen in the Babylonian law code of Hammurabi, gave her slave Hagar to Abraham to produce an heir for the family. 3. When Abraham was 99 God renewed His covenant with him and enjoined circumcision of Ishmael as a sign of his membership in the covenant community. 4. God also announced that He would fulfill the divine promise through his wife Sarah, although Abraham looked on Ishmael with deep affection and prayed that he might be the promised heir (Gen 17:18). Gen 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! Gen 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 5. When Ishmael was circumcised, Abraham and his household (those born to the men and women who had grown up in his employ and newcomers to the household through purchase from foreigners) were also circumcised. 5.1 Ishmael was 13 years old at the time of his circumcision. Many Arab tribes still circumcise their youths at the age of 13. 6. Fourteen years after the birth of Ishmael, Isaac was born to Sarah and Abraham. The jealousy that had long separated Sarah from Hagar came to a breaking point at the time of the weaning of Isaac.

  • Which of the Two Sons of Prophet Abraham PBUH Was to Be Sacrificed?
    Which of the two sons of the Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) was to be ‘sacrificed’? Prepared by: Abo Karim El Marakshy 1 The aim of this article is to answer the following misconceptions. 1-Which of the two sons of Prophet Abraham PBUH was to be sacrificed? 2-Hagar’s marriage to Abraham. 3-Ishmael’s relationship with Abraham peace be upon them. 4-The building of the Ka’abah. 5-Prophecies from the Bible about the prophet Muhammad (may Peace and Blessings be upon him). 6-The well of Zamzam. 7-Muslims pilgrimage. 8-Muslims’ claim of being affiliated to Prophet Abraham and various other Islamic articles of faith. PBUH: Peace be upon him 2 The following map shows the journeys of Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) Peace be upon him Round 1800 B.C. Historical background Allah, the Exalted, inspired Abraham (Ibrahim) to take his wife Hagar (Hajar in Arabic) and his son Ishmael ( Isma'il in Arabic ,Yishma'el ( ) in Hebrew meaning "God hears") peace be upon them to Makkah (Bakkah , Baca) in the Arabian Peninsula. Amazingly enough, this word Baca was mentioned by the prophet David (PBUH) in the Bible: "Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well, the rain also filleth the pools." (Psalm 84:6) Also the word Baca was mentioned in the Noble Qur'an "Verily, the first house (of worship) appointed for mankind was that in Baka (Mecca), full of blessing, 3 and guidance for all people." 3:96 of the Noble Qur'an. Abraham (Ibrahim) made a new settlement in Makkah, called Mountains of Paran (Pharan) in the Bible (Genesis 21:21), because of a divine instruction that was given to him as a part of Allah's plan.

  • The Promised Prophet of the Bible
    True Guidance and Light series (5) The Promised Prophet of the Bible By: Munqidh Bin Mahmoud Assaqqar, PhD The Promised Prophet of the Bible ١ ( ) AKNOWLEDGMENT First, all praise and thanks to God Almighty – Allah.

I also extend my appreciation to my faithful wife, for her continuous support, help, and for her standing beside me during the completion of this work. I would also wholeheartedly like to express my thanks and gratitude to the translation team, who played a major role in enabling this book to reach the English speaking reader, Mr. WALEED FADHL ALLAH, the translator, and Mr. ALI QASSEM, the proofreader. Finally, I express my thanks and appreciation to Dr. JOHN EALES, who has done me a great favor by doing the final proofreading, even though he is of a different faith, he managed to do so, for he concerned about searching for the truth, and following scientific methods in study and discussion.

  • Commentary No.388 Tuesday, 6 September 2016 Is Saudi Arabia Zion? James M
    Commentary No.388 Tuesday, 6 September 2016 Is Saudi Arabia Zion? James M. Dorsey Nanyang Technological University, Singapore amal Salibi, one of the Arab world’s foremost contemporary historians, kicked up a storm when he concluded in a 1985 linguistic exegesis that Judaism’s Zion was not K located in Israel but in Saudi Arabia. Israelis, Jews, Saudis, Arabs, Muslims and Palestinians found common ground at the time to denounce Salibi in stark terms. Israelis, Jews and evangelists charged that Salibi’s bombshell book, ‘The Bible Came from Arabia’, constituted an attempt to delegitimize the Jewish State and undermine its historic claim to modern day Israel. Israeli historians and rabbis denounced the theory as mythology, science fiction and nonsense. Saudis, afraid that Israelis might take Salibi seriously and attempt to colonize the mountains of Sarawat, which the scholar believed was the Jordan valley referred to in the Bible, bulldozed dozens of villages which contained buildings or structures from Biblical antiquity. Abodes were turned into rubble in line with Wahhabi ideology that legitimized destruction of anything that could be construed as idol worship. The Saudi effort made it more unlikely that archaeology would ever be able to resolve the controversy given that decades of diggings in modern day Israel has yet to yield incontrovertible evidence such as Hebrew inscriptions that unambiguously refer to events, people, or places named in the Old Testament. Nonetheless, in a twist of irony, Saudi Arabia launched Salibi on his linguistic exegesis with the government’s publication in 1977 of a comprehensive list of thousands of place names in the kingdom.

  • Muhammad the Last Messenger of Allah
    Muhammad the Last Messenger of Allah Summary of 12.4 “Muhammad (P) & Abrahamic Tree IV: Moses’ Prophecy About Muhammad (P)” Last week’s program was basically a discussion of the prophecies in the book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament and we referred to two important prophecies. One is in Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18 where God promised to raise a prophet like unto Moses from the brethren of the Israelites. We also discussed the mistaken interpretation to say that this prophecy applies to Joshua or Jesus because this does not apply to either and that the comparison between Moses and Muhammad shows a very close similarity than any other prophet, Israelites or otherwise. We discussed also some of the objections raised that why not include the children of Ketura who are also kin to the Israelites, but again we said that there is no prophet that came with a complete code of law among the children of Ketura. It was only prophet Muhammad that resembles Moses in that respect. We also discussed a second prophecy, in chapter 33 verses 1 and 2 of the Book of Deuteronomy, where it speaks of God coming from Sinai and rising from Seir and shining forth from Paran. We indicated that this refers to three great prophets in history: Sinai in reference to Moses, Seir in reference to Jesus and is in New Jerusalem and we showed many sources that indicate that it’s a reference to Palestine. Then the third stage shining forth or completion of the message from Mount Paran. We discussed the mistaken identification of Paran forgetting that the Bible itself, in 21:21 indicates that this is the place where Hagar and Ishmael dwelt and that is known to historically be Mecca.

  • The Literary Study of the Bible Is a Common Meeting-Ground
    THE LITERARY STUDY OF THE BIBLE AN ACCOUNT OF THE LEADING FORMS OF LITERATURE REPRESENTED IN THE SACRED WRITINGS INTENDED FOR ENGLISH READERS By RICHARD G. MOULTON. PROFESSOR OF LITERATURE IN ENGLISH IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION LECTURER (CAMBRIDGE AND LONDON) BOSTON, U.S.A.: D. C. HEATH & CO. LONDON : ISBISTER & CO., LIMITED 1896 Public Domain: Scanned and edited by Ted Hildebrandt 3/2005 COPYRIGHT, 1895, By Richard G. Moulton ENTERED AT STATIONERS' HALL Norwood Press: J. S. Cushing & Co. -- Berwick & Smith Boston, Mass., U.S.A. PREFACE AN author falls naturally into an apologetic tone if he is pro- posing to add yet one more to the number of books on the Bible. Yet I believe the number is few of those to whom the Bible appeals as literature. In part, no doubt, this is clue to the forbidding form in which we allow the Bible to be presented to us. Let the reader imagine the poems of Wordsworth, the plays of Shake- speare, the essays of Bacon, and the histories of Motley to be bound together in a single volume; let him suppose the titles of the poems and essays cut out and the names of speakers and divi- sions of speeches removed, the whole divided up into sentences of a convenient length for parsing, and again into lessons contain- ing a larger or smaller number of these sentences. If the reader can carry his imagination through these processes he will have before him a fair parallel to the literary form in which the Bible has come to the modern reader; it is true that the purpose for which it has been split into chapters and verses is something higher than instruction in parsing, but the injury to literary form remains the same.

  • Prophet Muhammad in the Bible
    Prophet Muhammad in the Bible MSS060004 @ WWW.SALAFIPUBLICATIONS.COM Prophet Muhammad in the Bible “Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognize him (Muhammad) as they recognize their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while they know it” The Qur’an, al-Baqarah(2):146 The Emigration (The Hijra): 1 Habakkuk 3:3 “God (his guidance) came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.” The wilderness of Paran is where Abraham's wife Hagar and his eldest son Ishmael, the father of the Arabs, settled (Genesis 21:21) in the Arabian desert. Specifically, Makkah2. Makkah is, of course, the capital of Islam in Arabia and the birthplace of Muhammad (pbuh). Indeed, it was Hagar and Ishmael themselves who transformed a barren patch of desert into what is now the capital of Islam, “Makkah.” Mount Paran is the chain of mountains in that same region which the Arabs call the “Sarawat mountains.” Muhammad (pbuh) first became the prophet of Islam in the cave of “Hira’a” located in the highest part of these mountains. Jesus (pbuh) never in his life traveled to Paran nor Teman. Muhammad, however, was born in Paran, he died there, and it was the capital of the Islamic religion in that day and this. No man from Paran, throughout history, has had his praise sung in so many nations throughout creation as has Muhammad (pbuh). The name “Muhammad” itself literally means in Arabic “The praised one.” Through the teachings of Muhammad, God is now being praised by over one billion Muslims around the world.
