New Testament Studies: God's Pilgrims
Philip Mauro

While studying The Epistle to the Hebrews many years ago, I read Philip Mauro's book, God's Pilgrims: Their Dangers, Their Resources, Their Rewards.  I was so well pleased for the most part by his treatment of the subject material that I have recently prepared an electronic version of it.  This PDF bookmarked document is from the Second Edition, 1921, by Samuel E. Roberts, Publisher (not copyrighted) and formatted for front and back page printing.  A paperback version edition is also available from Schoettle Publishing Company.  [Download PDF]

Kingdom Studies: Overview Chart of the Ages
William Ramey

All ages are finite and were created (Heb. 1:2) of which Scripture speaks of two principle ages: the present age and the age to come (Matt. 12:32; Eph. 1:21).  Every age has a beginning and an end; hence one age ends before another begins.  This age is characterized as "this present evil age" (Gal. 1:4) during which Satan is the ruler (Jn. 12:31; 16:11; 2 Cor. 4:4) with his subordinates (Eph. 6:11-12; 1 Cor. 2:6, 8).  The end of this age and the beginning of the next age coincides with Christ's Parousia (Rev. 11:15-19; 19:11--20:6; cf. 1 Thess. 2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23; 2 Thess. 2:1, 8; Jas. 5:7, 8; 2 Peter. 1:16), inaugurated by the Seventh Trumpet (Rev. 11:15-19; cf. 1 Cor. 15:51-52).  Christ's return is "the blessed hope" which Paul anticipated (Tit. 2:13; cf. 1 Jn. 3:1-3).  [Download PDF]

Kingdom Studies: The Life Promised and Manifested (Part 2): Those Who Will Awake
William Ramey

The introduction to the study underscored that when Christ appears and inaugurates His Kingdom, those who are His will be bodily resurrected imperishable in splendor and power, a transformation that transpires in an indivisible moment of time.  The same imperishable body will subsequently be clothed with immortality at the consummation of His reign.

The Hebrew prophets wrote about the resurrection from the dead of God's people.  Although they never prophesized about the properties of the resurrected body, which were to be revealed later as part of a "mystery" to apostle Paul, a very special kind of life was promised in the prophecy given to Daniel.  [Download PDF]

Kingdom Studies: The Life Promised and Manifested (Part 1): Introduction
William Ramey

The Apostle Paul authoritatively states that during the Kingdom Period inaugurated at Jesus Christ's appearing, He raises to life those who are His with an imperishable, spiritual body and subsequently clothes them with immortality.  The nature of the resurrected spiritual body is imperishable and the duration of immortality is without qualification.  "Imperishability" and "immortality" are not synonymous terms, for each specifies a differing profound and permanent effect on the the resurrected body.  [Download PDF]

NTGreek In Diagram: The General Epistles
William Ramey

The General Epistles (also called Catholic Epistles) are in the form of letters. They are termed "general" because for the most part they are addressed to a broad readership rather than to specific assemblies as is the case with the Pauline Epistles. However, 2 John and 3 John are commonly included in this group despite their addresses respectively to the "elect lady" and to "Gaius".  The Revelation is usually excluded from The General Epistles because of its distinctive writing style, but it is actually a letter that was addressed to seven congregations in Asia Minor.  more

NTGreek In Diagram: The Pauline Epistles
William Ramey

The Pauline Epistles are the largest extant collection of letters in the Greek New Testament.  Of the twenty-seven documents included in the New Testament, Paul wrote thirteen of them.  However by word count, Paul is the second most prolific contributor to the New Testament.  Luke's two documents (The Gospel of Luke and The Acts of the Apostles) amount to nearly a third of the New Testament in volume.  more

NTGreek In Diagram: The Epistle to the Hebrews
William Ramey

The Greek diagrams for The Epistle to the Hebrews (2008 • First Edition) are now available.  The Epistle to the Hebrews is the most Christological epistle in the New Testament concerning His Person, Work and coming Messianic Kingdom.  The author explicitly quotes the Old Testament thirty-five times, and fourteen of these quotations are drawn from the Psalms.  Because of all the quotations, the vocabulary and style are more vigorous than that of any other New Testament epistle.  more
