Two kinds of Lambs

 

 

 


 
 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 do want to welcome you to this 'HIS VOICE THROUGH THE WEB'.   It
 is once again 'LIGHT IN THE EVENING TIME.'  Be blessed with it and
 remember, PASS IT ON TO OTHERS that it might be made plain upon the
 tables (of their hearts) so that as they read, 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.
 
 In this message, we shall be examining "TWO KINDS OF LAMBS":   the
 lamb upon mount Zion (Revelation 14:1-5) and the beast out of the
 earth, in the shape of a lamb (Revelation 13:11).  Recall that from
 a
 heavenly viewpoint to which we were invited (Revelation 4:1), we
 are
 able to see two sets of contrasting pictures/imageries.  They set
 forth two distinctive histories emerging from the same holy
 beginning.  The seven typical churches were to feed these two
 streams
 according to the faithfulness or unfaithfulness of her members.
 The
 one in faithfulness moving on approvingly under God to more and
 more
 of His glory, and, the other in unfaithfulness, sliding down into
 more and more degeneration.
 
 The first lamb we would be discussing in this message is that
 described as 'a beast out of the earth'.  This beast-lamb
 represents
 a body of persons who are members
