Life Through His Name LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME being an exposition of the Gospel of John by Charles H. Welch Author of Dispensational Truth The Apostle of the Reconciliation The Testimony of the Lord's Prisoner Parable, Miracle, and Sign The Form of Sound Words Just and the Justifier In Heavenly Places etc. THE BEREAN PUBLISHING TRUST 52A WILSON STREET LONDON EC2A 2ER ISBN 0 85156 172 1 First published 1953 Reset and reprinted 1996 PREFACE It is not without a strong sense of happy memories that the monumental volume on Romans - Just and the Justifier - carried a touching reference to forty years of devoted service to the Berean by Mr. F.P. Brininger, and that upon the launching of the new volume - Life through His Name - Mr. Albert Gallimore of Birmingham should be remembered, also with forty years’ close fellowship in the company of Mr. Charles H. Welch. The parallel is continued in that neither of the pioneers was permitted to remain at Mr. Welch’s disposal to see the Volume leave the Press. The volume, Just and the Justifier by its exposition of the epistle to the Romans has unveiled some of the grace manifested in the ‘Gospel of God ... concerning His Son’, and this new exposition Life through His Name, introducing John’s record of God’s testimony - ‘In Him was life and the life was the light of men’ - will cause many to rejoice anew that the Word of Truth, rightly divided, has not left unguarded a single joint in the harness of those who may ‘please Him Who hath chosen ... a soldier’. The joy of fellowship with Mr. Welch and Mr. Gallimore for over forty years is at once an act of grace abounding, and a responsibility not lightly to be regarded; but if one of my fingers can point towards a tried, tested and approved highway for the feet of saints, then my foreword shall be something of which I ‘may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him’. This then is my God-speed message to this new volume, and may God thereby receive the praise due to His Name. J. H. 1, Livingstone Road, Birmingham.

One of the chief values of the structure of any portion of Scripture is that it exhibits to the eye the scope of the passage, and the steps in the argument. Structures are not invented, only discovered. Figures of Speech. Where these present any difficulty, help will be found by consulting The Companion Bible, Appendix 6. viii Gnosticism.

Words from these languages are transliterated into English, and printed in italic type. No attempt has been made to distinguish the short and long ‘o’ and the short and long ‘e’ in the Greek, nor to give an exact phonetic spelling of the Hebrew.

LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME CHAPTER 1 Introduction A Question of View Point While it is true that ‘all spiritual blessings in heavenly places’ are ‘far above all’, it is essential that we should remind ourselves continually of the basis upon which all these blessings rest, namely, the finished work of the Son of God, accomplished in the fulness of time upon the earth. The epistles of the New Testament abound in references to this finished work, but it is essential that those inspired records which we call the Gospels, should be read, studied and understood if that work is to become a reality to us. Three things must be kept in mind when we think of the Gospels and their purpose. (1) The historic facts which they record are basic. The birth, death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord are fundamental to doctrinal and practical truth. ‘If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain’ (1 Cor. 15:14). (2) While the Gospels are, in a sense, complete in themselves, the Lord told His disciples that there was still further truth to be revealed to them when the Spirit of Truth should come. ‘I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now’ (John 16:12). (3) There is a Divine purpose in the fact that the earthly life of our Lord is recorded from four different aspects. The only One Who could have inspired a single complete account of that life and ministry has not done so, but has been pleased to inspire four different writers to write individual and selective accounts from four different points of view. MATTHEW. - The point of view of this writer is that of the Kingdom, and his readers are Jews and Jewish believers. He begins with Abraham. 2 LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME MARK. - This Gospel follows the same line as that of Matthew, but is shorter and omits some subject matter that would not appeal to the Gentile proselytes, for whom the account was primarily intended.

Higher ranks may be asserted to have greater power or authority over lower ranks, and with different ranks having differences in appearance, such as varying numbers of wings or faces. Abrahamic faiths The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Botticini at the National Gallery The Jewish angelic hierarchy is established London, shows three hierarchies and nine orders of angels, each with different in the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Rabbinic characteristics. literature, and traditional Jewish liturgy. They are categorized in different hierarchies proposed by various theologians. For example, Maimonides, in his Mishneh Torah or Yad ha-Chazakah: Yesodei ha-Torah, counts ten ranks of angels. The most influential Christian angelic hierarchy was that put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the 4th or 5th century in his book De Coelesti Hierarchia (On the Celestial Hierarchy).

Jude: Pure Dynamite In A Small Package Winter 2012 The Book of Jude, though just 25 verses long, is one of the most powerful books in the Bible. It is written for our generation today, upon whom the end of the ages is come. While Acts chronicles the beginning of the Church and the acts of the Apostles, Jude chronicles the end of the Church and the acts of the apostates. This is the only book in the Bible dedicated entirely to the great apostasy.

  • "Because of the Angels": Unveiling Pauls Anthropology in 1 Corinthians 11
    "BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS": UNVEILING PAULS ANTHROPOLOGY IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11 JASON DAVID BEDUHN Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011-6031 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 has been called "one of the most obscure passages in the Pauline letters,"1 and "a linguistic labyrinth rivaling Daedalus s and befuddling a host of would-be Theseuses,"2 and has produced a plethora of imaginative interpretations. With some reluctance, I find myself wading into the turbulent and congested debate with a novel solution to Pauls mysterious reference to angels that I believe also helps to clarify Pauls thinking in the pas­ sage as a whole.3 My proposal, like those of many who have grappled with these words before me, looks to Pauls cultural and religious context to flesh out the possibilities of his allusions. Like them, I trace the threads of Pauls phrases to the Genesis creation accounts, as well as to the more general anthropology of the Mediterranean world. The only distinction I can claim for my interpreta­ tion is that it holds these threads together and does not leave the angels dan­ gling by one of them. The mainstream Christian tradition has produced a compelling reading of Paul, especially with respect to the central tenets of his theology and soteriol- ogy. A significant source of the debate regarding 1 Cor 11:2-16 is that we are on less familiar ground, involving none of these relatively secure central tenets of the faith. Instead, we are in the traditionally more hazy domain of Pauline anthropology, and the even more obscure territory of that awkward term 1 Wayne Meeks, The Writings of St Paul (New York: Norton, 1972) 38.

The first focus is upon the development of Judaism during the Second Temple period, and especially during its final, Roman, century: the passage, due to internal developments and external influences and pressures, from a religion oriented around Temple and priesthood — i.e., a religion bound up with a state, and which therefore competed with Rome — to one which could separate sanctity from birth and place. The second focus is upon Josephus, and the history of Provincia Judaea, for which he is the major source in this period.

  • The Mystery of Power and Authority
    The Mystery of Power and Authority Season 2 Episode 8 INTRODUCTION: Exodus 24 • The 70 elders of Israel were at the base of the same mountain that Moses had ascended to meet with God. • In essence, they were seeing the river flowing out from the throne of God. • They saw God. Then, just a few days later, they helped build a golden calf. • They had a power encounter with God himself, yet they still built a golden calf with that memory still fresh in their head. How can you explain this? Power • Power from God is a gift. o We don’t do anything to deserve it when it comes. o We don’t earn it through good works or righteousness. o It’s a gift delivered by a sovereign God using His Holy Spirit. • It’s the manifestation of God’s love for us that suddenly appears from the invisible realm into the visible realm. • Power is temporary. o It’s like a fleeting vapor that appears for a moment, lingers, and then is gone without a trace. • The Kingdom of God cannot function without it. Authority • In the Bible, authority is often translated power, but they aren’t the same. • In the New Testament, power and authority are two different Greek words, but they frequently get translated as if they were one. Copyright © 2014 John Paul Jackson. All Rights Reserved. 1 TALKING POINTS: Teaching Session 1 Luke 4 • A group gathered in a home and Jesus delivered an incredible teaching. o The Bible says that many of the leaders there had illnesses and there was power there to heal them.
