Listen from:
Question: Will anyone be ashamed, or put to shame, from before Him at His coming? (1 John 2:28). M. C.
Answer: Notice that in 1 John 2:28 and in 2 John 8, it is the teacher who is spoken of, and it is the teacher’s loss that is spoken of. There will be so-called apostles put to shame before the Lord at His coming (2 Cor. 11:13; Rev. 2:2). There will be preachers (not Christians) that will be castaways (1 Cor. 9:27; 1 Cor. 3:17); as builders they will be utterly rejected. If these children did not abide in the Father and in the Son, it proved them to be false—they were not Christians.
Question: Were the commandments equally divided on the tables of stone? O. T.
Answer: The thought connected with two tables of stone is testimony. (Exo. 40:20; 2 Chron. 5:10).
Question: What does Hebrews 13:8 mean? W. I. C.
Answer: Jesus Christ, the Same, is the title of the unchanging One, I AM, Who ever abides, yesterday and today and forever. The One on whom all creation and redemption rests.
Dispensations change and fresh blessings are unfolded. He is ever the great I AM, “the Same.”
Question: What are the children of Israel a type of? W. I. C.
Answer: Nothing. The things that happened to them were types (1 Cor. 10:11; see margin), and were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the age are come.
