23 Siono vaikai, džiaukitės Viešpačiu, savo Dievu. Jis ištikimai duodavo jums ankstyvą lietų ir Jis siųs jums lietų, ankstyvąjį ir vėlyvąjį lietų, kaip ir anksčiau.

4. That there have been four Churches on this earth, one before the flood, which is to be called the Adamic; the second, after the flood, which is to be called the Noachian; and a third, after this, which was called the Israelitish; also a fourth, which exists at this day, and is called the Christian, will be demonstrated in the following pages, in the exposition of each of them separately.

328 - A Way Forward, Part 7 of 7

By Jonathan S. Rose

Title: A Way Forward, Part 7

Topic: Second Coming

Summary: In the glorious future predicted in Scripture, increased presence of the Lord will push hell aside, and knowledge of the Lord and spiritual experiences will abound. The Lord's presence will be magnetically attractive to people from all over, and his kingdom will last forever and continually increase. This will be the real exodus.
