Two kinds of Cities

 

 

 

 


 
 Dear Beloved Brethren,
 
 "But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day,
 nor night: but it shall come to pass, 'THAT AT EVENING TIME IT
 SHALL BE LIGHT.' " (Zechariah 14:7)
 
 We want to welcome you once again to this 'HIS VOICE THROUGH THE
 WEB'.
 It is 'LIGHT IN THE EVENING TIME.'  Be blessed with it and
 remember, PASS IT ON TO OTHERS that they too might run with it.  Other
 writings have been posted on the Kingdomlife Website, so we encourage you to
 visit that website  www.kingdomlife.com  and be blessed.  Pray for
 Brother Bill Gorton also as the Spirit of God uses him to direct
 the affairs of that website.

 letters John wrote to the churches relate directly to the
 developments we find in the book of Revelation as from the fourth
 chapter.
 
 The things that Jesus said in the letters that were either
 commendations or condemnation from the main emphasis in these
 teachings.  The Lord encourages us to take note of the things that
 give Him satisfaction.  We are to cultivate these virtues.  The
 Lord calls to repentance from those things that He condemns.  Obedience
 leads to glory.  Disobedience brings shame and destruction.  From
 chapter four onwards, we are able to trace the paths of obedience
 and disobedience.  In two contrasting sets of word-pictures, we are
 shown what the history of obedience will lead to, and what things the
 course of disobedience brings.
 
 So, in considering the subject:
