The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 11, The End Of The Parenthesis
We come now to consider the book of the Revelation. Within our present limits we can do this only in outline. I have taken it up more fully elsewhere. 2. My one thought now is to show how the bulk of the visions of the Apocalypse fit in after the…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 10, The Mystery Of Lawlessness And The Revelation Of The Man Of Sin
In his earliest epistle, the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul unfolded the precious truth of what we commonly call the “Rapture” of the Church. It is sometimes objected that the word “rapture” is not found in the Scriptures. This is perfectly true, but it does not therefore…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 9, The Revelation Of The One Body
It is now time that we consider the particular ministry which God has committed to His Church, those whom He is taking out from both Jew and Gentile in this parenthetic period; and for this we must turn particularly to the letters of the Apostle Paul. Our Lord, before He…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 8, The Mystery Of The Olive Tree
If my reader has followed me thus far, he will be prepared now to examine with a degree of intelligence the place that the Great Parenthesis occupies in what is itself a parenthesis—the great dispensational division of the Epistle to the Romans as set forth in chapters 9, 10 and…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 7, The Parenthetical Period In Israel’s Ecclesiastical Year
Before going on to examine the parenthetical part of the Epistle to the Romans which deals with God’s past, present and future ways with Israel, there is another Old Testament Scripture to which we should turn our attention for further corroboration of the undisclosed present period which we have been…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 6, The First Church Council; The Parenthesis Recognized By The Apostles
Acts 15 is the great dispensational chapter of that book. It occupies a unique place in the New Testament, and is a very distinct help in the understanding of God’s present work of grace and His future plans for Israel and the world. When Paul returned to Antioch at the conclusion…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 5, Our Lord’s Great Prophecy
In the light of what we have been considering, let us turn now to our Lord’s great prophecy uttered on the Mount of Olives shortly before His crucifixion. We find this prophecy recorded in the three Synoptics, namely, in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. It will help us…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 4, Further Instances Of The Hidden Interval
It is not alone in one or two outstanding passages that we find the evidence of the hidden interval between the rejection of Christ and His Second advent, but when once we have recognized the break between the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks in the time prophecy of Daniel 9, we…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 3, The Acceptable Year Of The Lord
When once the break in the prophetic plan is seen as set forth in Daniel 9, one recognizes the fact that provision is made for this in prophetic interpretation throughout the entire Word of God. Prophecy has to do first with events connected with the nations in contact with Israel…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Chapter 2, The Great Prophecy Of The Seventy Weeks
We have in the ninth chapter of the book of Daniel the most remarkable time prophecy of the Holy Scriptures. Sir Edward Denny was, I think, perhaps the first prophetic student to designate this chapter, “The Backbone of Prophecy.” He may, of course, have borrowed the term from someone else,…

The Great Parenthesis by H A Ironside, Preface, Introduction, and Chapter 1
Preface The contents of the present volume are really an enlargement of lectures on Bible prophecy that have been given at various conferences during the past few years. It was never convenient to have these stenographically reported at the time of their delivery, and so the substance of the addresses…
