Barrier Wall

[Editor:] When God called Abraham, He placed a division between his descendants and all of the rest of humanity. God established a “barrier” between Jew and Gentile, Israel and the Nations. Paul called this division a “middle wall of partition” in Ephesians 2:14 (KJV). The Concordant Version calls it “the central wall of the barrier.” The Dabhar Version renders it “the middle wall of the blockage.”

When reading the Scriptures it is vitally important that you ask yourself the simple question: Is the middle wall of partition up, or is it down? Recognizing and answering this crucial question is an important key in following Paul’s instruction found in II Timothy 2:15 of “rightly dividing” (KJV), “correctly cutting” (CV, 1976 – 6th Edition) or “correctly partitioning” (CV, 1927 – 2nd Edition) the “Word of truth.”

It’s not until you get to the pinnacle writings of Paul – Ephesians and Colossians – that you see this barrier removed. Read these letters that reveal the Secret Administration, and enjoy God’s truth for today.

Kingdom of the Heavens

[ Editor: ] The coming Kingdom Administration begins with the Pre-Millennial (“ the Kingdom of the Heavens, ” including the full Seventy-Sevens of Daniel). God is always absolutely sovereign over the affairs of man. This truth is hidden from the perception of mankind during “ Man’s Day .” But beginning with the “ Day of Christ ” this absolute sovereignty will be made abundantly manifest .  This phase of the prophetic phase will last between 500-700 years, depending on how one approaches the passages. If considering the 700-year period, 33 of these years have already taken place during the Acts period, as “ the blade ” stage the Kingdom (Mark 4:26-29). For more information of the 700-year period see, -           “666 ,” Otis Q. Sellers, Bible Student’s Notebook 909 ; -       “The Parable of the Kingdom's Growing Grain,” Andrew Brown, Bible Student’s Notebook 909 .
