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
