It is our purpose in this study to consider the typical teaching of these seven "feasts of the Lord," for they are rich in spiritual lessons for God's people of all ages. But before we begin this study in detail, let us consider briefly what we mean by the "types." The Epistle to the Hebrews, more than any other New Testament book, is a kind of commentary on Old Testament ritualism and Old Testament prophecy.

REVELATION, the book of the consummation of all things, is a closed book to multitudes of Christians. This should not and need not be. We are responsible for every part of the Word of God, as it was written for our admonition. Two distinct blessings are recorded within the book: "Blessed is he that readeth," and "blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of this book." The symbolic language is often given as a reason for this neglect. Dr. Talbot tells us that within the Word itself we are given the key to the symbols used, so that "those who neglect it are without excuse." Christians will...

To visit Petra, that incredible rose-colored ruin of antiquity, mysteriously concealed from this modern world in a remote rocky basin of Trans-Jordania, between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, had been my ambition for years. This desire was deepened by travel reports I had heard and read and by pictures I had seen, but, most of all, by an intensive study of the Word of God in which it seemed to me that Petra held a strategic spot both in fulfilled and unfulfilled prophecy. So when on a recent missionary survey for the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, my travels took me in that direction,...

Update: Corrected typos The importance of presenting the Gospel message in terms which the little child can understand is inestimable. During His earthly ministry, our Lord Jesus Christ recognized this need for simplicity, and constantly taught the people spiritual lessons through reference to objects with which they were most familiar. The wise pastor today must be ever on the alert to employ this method in presenting the truth to the children of his congregation. Since fully eighty-five per cent of our knowledge is acquired through the eye-gate, this avenue of approach should be more widely...

A mirror has one job and that is to reflect. Whatever image is placed in front of it, that is what the mirror will shine back to you. Did you ever think that our main job in life is just to do that very thing, to reflect the love of God and to show forth Him Who is the light of the world? Sometimes small boys get a mirror and catch the sun in it and flash it in folks' eyes. This is not very good for the eyes, but if we, as living mirrors, would adjust ourselves to catch the rays of God's well beloved Son and then shine them into folks' hearts, we would be doing a great work

During the twenty-five years it has been our privilege to study the Bible over the radio, we have set aside an occasional broadcast for the answering of questions that have arisen in the minds of those who "listened in" to these messages. This book contains some of the questions asked and answered during this period. We have endeavored to bring all questions under the lens of Holy Writ, so that Scripture might interpret Scripture. We give thanks to God for the many we have been privileged to see delivered from skepticism and doubt to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to faith...
