The Times of the Gentiles Part 20 of 20, by Charles W Ross
The Lord appears to John while he is an exile in Patmos for his faithful testimony and reveals Himself in a new character of a judge and for a moment this brings John into the dust in dread. But as to himself John is soon reassured and then he is…

The Things Which Are. We have now reached the last part of the chart. In order to get the thought embodied in this before us in a simple and clear way, we would look again at a passage in Matthew 13:51-52. The Lord has just been giving a sketch in the…

The Times of the Gentiles Part 17 of 20, by Charles W Ross
In our previous studies we were told about Nehemiah who became after Ezra an outstanding figure at this time. In the first chapter of the book that bears his name we are told that when he heard of the sad state of this remnant he fell down before God in…

The Times of the Gentiles Part 16 of 20, by Charles W Ross
We have purposely dwelt on the similarity of these two epochs in history because they help us to understand more fully the meaning of this series of letters. We have pointed out that they run parallel with the whole history of man as unfolded in the Old Testament. Ephesus begins…

Laodicea(Revelation 2 and 3) If we are correct in our interpretation of these seven letters as being a panoramic history of the Church from the beginning of its failure in testimony until its final rejection by the Lord as His witness on earth, then we might say that had it ended in…

The Things Which Are.Revelation 2 And 3 Philadelphia (Concluded). But there is another word He says as to Himself, and that is, “the holy and the true.” This suggests another phase of responsibility that was apprehended at that time as belonging to the Church of God. That is the truth as…

There is an outward symbol and instrument of unity in the partaking of the Lord’s supper, “for we being many are one body, for we are all partakers of that one bread.” And what does St. Paul declare to be the true intent and testimony of that rite? That whensoever…

The Times of the Gentiles Part 11 of 20, by Charles W Ross
We are now come to what we cannot but regard as a very important period in the history of the church. Let us note, to begin with, that in only two of these seven letters is the call to repentance omitted. The one is Smyrna and the other is this…

The Things Which Are.Revelation 2 and 3 (Introduction to Philadelphia) We have now reached the place where the church of God in its true character demands our attention. In order to have this fairly before us let us turn to Colossians 1. vv. 21-27, “And you that were sometime alienated, and enemies…

The Things Which AreRevelation 2 and 3 Sardis, A Picture Of Protestantism When we reach this point we feel that we have gotten to modern times and to responsibilities for today. Because what is now before us is the judgment of the Lord on what we call the Reformation. The Lord presents…

The Times of the Gentiles Part 8, by Charles W Ross
This woman Jezebel calls herself a prophetess, that is, she claims Divine authority for what she teaches. It is not that she bases this on what the Word of God says, which she simply passes on, but she bases it on whatever she may say that has no basis in…

The Things Which Are—Thyatira “And unto the angel of the church of Thyatira write: these things saith the Son of God. Who hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet like unto fine brass” (Revelation 2:18). We have now reached the climax of the departure from…

The Times of the Gentiles Part 6, by Charles W Ross
The Things Which Are—Permagos The manner in which the Lord presents Himself to this church is startling, if we reflect ever so little on it. Suppose one were to send you a message that he was about to visit you with a sharp sword with two edges, would not your…

The Times of the Gentiles Part 5, by Charles W Ross
Smyrna In the First Epistle of Peter which was written quite a few years after the Church had been brought into being, there is evidently a note of warning of a storm about to break over the Church of God. This is marked all through it. The first suggestion is…

We are indebted to the executors of the estate of our deceased brother C. W. Ross for these important papers on the TIMES OF THE GENTILES. Although published in 1933, their relevance to the present urged the family to have them reprinted. It is an honour to comply in this,…
