“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 11. The Gospel of the Kingdom
Who will enter into the blessing of the Millennial Kingdom at the Lord’s Appearing? Will there be a second chance for those who reject the Gospel of the grace of God? How will the Lord appear to the waiting remnant? Question.: There will be many who will enter into blessing under…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 10. The Herald of His Coming
“THAT the Word of the Lord may run.” The judgment and the blessing at His Appearing: the showers on the new-mown grass. No judgment as long as the church is on earth. “The man of sin” and “that wicked one.” The Lord Jesus revealed in flaming fire. There is an…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 9. The Judgment of the Living and the Dead
A comparison between Matthew 25:31-46 and Revelation 20:11-15. The Judge of the quick and dead. The Son of Man on the Throne of His Glory. The sheep and the goats. The Great White Throne. Please explain Matthew 25:31-56. It is a puzzling passage, and has been interpreted as teaching that there will be one…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 8. The Judgment Seat of Christ
When will the faithful servants of the Lord be rewarded? John 5:24 says that those who believe “shall not come into judgment.” What of that? What will the judgment seat mean for us? What it means to suffer loss. Wasted lives; works burnt up. The unprofitable servant and his doom. You…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 7. Waiting, Watching, Working
What bearing has Luke 12 on those who are expecting the coming of the Lord? Does watching indicate something greater than waiting? The Rewards. What about the unfaithful servant? Question: What bearing has Luke 12:34-48 upon us, who are looking for the Rapture of the church at the first stage of the Lord’s coming? It…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 6. Signs of His Coming
The folly of fixing dates. Will the world be converted by the Gospel? The calling out of the Church. Signs of His Coming. What about the Old Testament saints? Will they have a part in the coming of the Lord? Texts that show the difference between the Rapture and the…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 5. “Surely, I Come Quickly”
What did the Lord mean by “coming quickly”? The shout of the Lord, and the Archangel’s voice, and the trump of God. Why the Lord will meet His church in the air. The last Trump. Question: Regarding the Coming of the Lord Jesus for His church which we have been considering:…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 4. Will all Who are Christ’s be Caught up at His Coming for His Saints?
What the Scriptures state. What about “them that look for Him”? There are no contradictions in the Scriptures. His coming is for all that are Christ’s. If it is taught that all saints will be caught up, will it not make Christians indifferent as to their conduct? Question: We are…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 3. The Rapture and the Appearing
The Lord’s Second Coming will be in two parts. In this chapter we endeavour to show the difference between the two. The law of gravitation. Types of the Rapture. The spiritual body. — It would not be right to say that the Coming Again of the Lord Jesus will be…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 2. “Behold the Bridegroom”
Early in the history of the church on earth the fact of the return of the Lord was lost. Evil servants began to say, “My Lord delays His coming.” And the Church slumbered and slept. But the midnight cry has gone forth, and many are now going forth to meet…

“Waiting for the Coming”, by John Thomas Mawson, 1. Will He really Come Again?
Explanation In these pages I have endeavoured to show that the coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ will be in two stages — the coming FOR His saints and WITH them, and in doing this I have used words that are current amongst Christians, namely, the RAPTURE and the…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 20. All Saved!
God be Praised Huge cliffs of green sea roar down upon the lifeboat, burying her completely from the eyes of the watchers on the shore, and making their hearts stand still with fear; but again she rises bravely, shaking herself free from the embrace of the waves like a thing…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 19. Salvation Neglected
or, The Wreck of the “Royal Charter” Who, having seen a shipwreck, can ever forget the awfully terrible and soul-thrilling sight. To stand upon some storm-lashed shore and see out on the grey sea a helpless vessel struggling in the grip of the tempest; to see that ship go shivering…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 18. God’s Way of Deliverance
or, How the Sea Saved Leyden Many and great are the difficulties that often arise in the minds of those who are awakened to the need of their soul’s salvation, as to how this can be brought about. They know that they are sinners — guilty, unsatisfied, and in Satan’s…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 17. Out of the Jaws of Death
A Shark Story SWISH-SH, swish-sh. The swimmer started and turned. About a length behind him he saw a V-shaped ripple upon the surface of the blue waters, and beneath them a grey-brown object. The paralysis of fear seized him, and his cry of distress died in his throat! It was…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 16. The Value of One Soul
A Deal Lifeboat Incident Is it possible that the great God above can care for one soul amongst all the millions of the earth? It is, for the One who came to tell us all we know of the heart of God said “Likewise, I say to you, there is…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 15. Enciso’s Expedition Against the Dead
Many and interesting are the incidents recorded of the adventures of the early discoverers of America. The coolness with which they appropriated everything worth taking, and claimed the New World for the Old, was most extraordinary, and somewhat ridiculous to the mind of the twentieth century people. There was amongst…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 14. A Despised Deliverer
or, How Venice was Saved When Venice was “Queen of the Adriatic,” not only because of her beauty, but because of her wealth and power, she had many enemies. Doubtless many of these were made by the arrogance of her rulers, while some were her foes because they were jealous…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 13. The Christian’s Character
or, Perrault’s Generosity Our “Tales of the Sea” are written more especially for those who are unconverted, that they might be led to see their danger and turn to Jesus the Saviour, for all that they need. But we must have a few pages also for those who have believed…

Tales of the Sea, by John Thomas Mawson, 12. A Sea Captain’s Folly
or, Salvation Rejected How sad must have been the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ when He had to say to the Jews of old: “Ye will not come to Me that ye might have life.” And again, when He stood outside Jerusalem and wept over the sinners therein, because…
