Long before the fact, Isaiah prophetically described Christ by saying, “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth” (Is. 53:7). The scriptures provide many figurative descriptions of the Christ, but none more vivid or heart-rending than His being portrayed as the “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13:8). In Revelation 5:12 we read this bold exclamation, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain …” Considering the profound impact of that declaration upon heaven and earth, as well as time and eternity, it is nigh unto impossible to imagine a more sublime theme for this lectureship than, “Worthy Is The Lamb!” With nothing but the eternal horrors of a devil’s hell in store for us, how humbling it is that the God of heaven intervened and provided the ransom for our sin by offering His only begotten Son (Jn. 3:16). The Pennsboro church is both honored and humbled by the privilege of hosting what promises to be a spiritual feast of the grandest order. We have invited thirteen gospel preachers, of whom we have the highest confidence, to deliver twenty-two lessons on this wonderful theme. Each of these men is widely known and wonderfully appreciated for his doctrinal soundness, defense of the scriptures, and devotion to the Savior. Additionally, sister Iris Ramsey has graciously agreed to teach a ladies’ class each afternoon. Our deepest appreciation is expressed to all of these precious people for their presence and proclamation of heaven’s message. We are thankful to be able to produce this book containing written manuscripts of the lectures that will be delivered during the 2005 West Virginia Christian Lectureship. We are very grateful for brother Albert Farley and his good wife, Nancy, for their countless hours of editing manuscripts and printing the book. Without their labors this book would not likely be in existence. Great lectureships are the direct result of a tremendous amount of hard work. The beloved brethren that make up the Lord’s family in Pennsboro are to be commended for their commitment to host this lectureship and their determination to give their best effort toward its success. A special word of thanks is in order for our good elders who continue to lead by godly example. Nothing of this magnitude can be accomplished without every member doing his part. “Worthy is the Lamb ... to receive ... honor and glory and blessing” (Rev. 5:12). It is to that end that we commend this volume to you, along with all of the loving labors that have gone into the Sixth Annual West Virginia Christian Lectureship. Terry G. Jones Lectureship Director 6 Worthy Is the Lamb! Preface We offer the 2005 West Virginia Christian Lectureship Book with a prayer that it is accurate in content and that it will be useful to all who read it. The elders of the Pennsboro church of Christ are to be commended for their love and care in hosting the lectures again. We are thankful to all members of the congregation for every part they have played in making this another very successful effort for the cause of Christ. We commend Terry Jones for his able direction of the lectures. He and the Pennsboro elders selected the theme, subjects, speakers, and schedule of the lectures. We thank Terry for contacting all of the speakers and for making arrangements for them to send in the manuscripts for this book. There is a change in the location of the biographies in this book. Each biography is located at the end of each speaker's first or only article. This is our sixth lectureship book: 1. Mannington church of Christ: "Thus Saith The Lord" (2000) 2. Martinsburg church of Christ: "A Plea For The Fundamentals" (2001) 3. Martinsburg church of Christ: "Give Me The Bible" (2002) 4. Pennsboro church of Christ: "Christianity: The Hope of the World" (2003) 5. Pumpkin Center church of Christ: "Great People of the Bible" (2004) 6. Pennsboro church of Christ: "Worthy Is The Lamb!" (2005) Copies of this book will be provided free of charge to all families who attend the lectures. Finally, I want to express my indebtedness to brother Lester Headley, of the Salem congregation, who assisted me in the printing of this book, and to my wife, Nancy, who, once again, proofread each article in the book for grammatical purposes. - Albert E. Farley, editor A Christian Is 7 A CHRISTIAN IS . Johnny Ramsey A Person with a Purpose He, because of a glorious relationship that transcends earthly ties, lives for Jesus every moment (Philippians 1:21). Christ is the light of his days upon this globe (Psalms 27:1). Whatever the Christian does is in the name of the Lord (Colossians 3:17) and for heaven’s glory (I Corinthians 10:31). Such a one lives to bring forth fruit in God’s vineyard (Romans 7:4). Striving for the mind of Christ the cross becomes the center of the Christian’s affection and the motivating factor in his life (Galatians 6:14). Knowing that the Savior is more powerful than the Devil (I John 4:4) bolsters our faith and provides incentive for us to press on to higher ground (John 15:8). Every new day is a divine romance and an exciting adventure as we walk hand in hand with Jesus. "Beautiful life with such a friend Beautiful life that has no end Eternal life, eternal joy — He’s my friend." We are complete and entirely sustained in Christ, and it is a joy to follow His sinless steps and deepen in those things that glorify God (II Kings 19:30). Christians realize that our purpose is to magnify the Savior in all that we do (Philippians 1:20). "When I reach the crystal sea Voices will call, voices will call, But my Savior’s voice will be Sweeter than all, sweeter than all." A Person with Peace Though trials and heartaches may enter the Christian’s life they do not dominate the scene due to an inner calmness the Lord provides to faithful soldiers under His command (I Timothy 2:2).

  • God's Great Day of Wrath Revelation 6:9–11
    1 God's Great Day of Wrath Revelation 6:9–11 We have the great privilege again, of looking into the future. And I want you to take your Bible - or one that is nearby, and turn to the sixth chapter of the last book in the Bible, the book of Revelation. The sixth chapter. Tonight, we’re going to look at verses 9, 10, and 11 in our ongoing study of this great chapter. Let me read these three verses, Revelation Chapter 6, beginning at Verse 9- And when he broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, wilt Thou refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’ “And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who were to be killed even as they had been, should be completed also.” As we begin an examination of this fifth seal and this most significant passage, it suits us to examine the thought of vengeance for a moment, because: What this seal is all about is vengeance. It is a cry on the part of these souls identified here for the Lord to avenge our blood, to bring about judgment.

  • The Fifth Seal
    THE FIFTH SEAL Let us bow our heads now for prayer. 2 Gracious Heavenly Father, the Almighty God, Who brought again Jesus Christ from the dead, and has presented Him to us in this last days, in the Power of the Holy Spirit, we are grateful for these mighty visitations of the immortal God. And now, Father, we are facing another hour, a hour which might change the Eternal destination of many people. 3 And to approach this, Lord, we are insufficient. Because, it is in the Scriptures, that, “The Lamb took the Book and opened the Seals.” 4 O Lamb of God, come forward, we pray. We call on You, Lord, the great Redeemer. Come forth and show us Your plan of redemption that’s been hid through the years, breaking this Fifth Seal for us tonight, Father, and revealing what’s beneath that Seal for us; that we might go away better Christians than we are now, might be better fit for the task that lays ahead. We ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Be seated. 5 Good evening, friends. I deem this a grand privilege to be here tonight, on this great event. I don’t know anywhere that I could feel better at, than to be on the work of the King. And now coming especially on these lessons where we’re just waiting; if He would not reveal It to me, I could not give It to you. I’m not trying to use any of my own thoughts or anything; just as He will give It.

  • Preterism, Futurism Or Historicism?
    Preterism, Futurism or Historicism? A Theological Analysis of three Interpretive Schools of Apocalyptic Prophecy within the Doctrine of the Last Things by Reinhardt Stander Dissertation presented in requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Department of Systematic Theology and Ecclesiology, Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University.

With the aim of identifying an adequate school of apocalyptic interpretation within the discourse of eschatology,

  • The End of Times, Armageddon, Apocalypse Or the Last Age of Mankind
    Bangladesh Journal of Bioethics 2013; 4(2):9-21 PEACE, CONFLICT AND RESOLUTION (GOOD VS. EVIL) Arif Hossain Vice-President & Founding Chairman Bangladesh Bioethics Society Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The immense structural inequalities of the global social /political economy can no longer be contained through consensual mechanisms of state control. The ruling classes have lost legitimacy; we are witnessing a breakdown of ruling-class hegemony on a world scale. There is good and evil among mankind; thus it necessitates the conflict between the good and evil on Earth. We are in for a period of major conflicts and great upheavals. It's generally regarded that Mencius (c.371-c.289 B.C) a student of Confucianism developed his entire philosophy from two basic propositions: the first, that Man's original nature is good; and the second, that Man's original nature becomes evil when his wishes are not fulfilled. What is good and what is evil? Philosophers of all ages have thought over this question. Each reckoned that he had solved the question once and for all, yet within a few years the problem would re-emerge with new dimensions. Repeated acts of corruption and evil action makes a man corrupt and takes away a man from his original nature. Still now majority of the people of the world give compliance to corruption because of social pressures, economic pressures, cultural pressures and political pressures. The conflict between good and evil is ancient on earth and is prevalent to this day. May be the final confrontation between the descendants of Cain and Abel is at our doorsteps.
