Things that Differ

[Editor:] Not everything in the Scriptures is the same. There are different ages, administrations, gospels, days, callings, hopes, spheres of glory, resurrections, etc. Thus, there is a great need to “… distinguish between things that differ” (Philippians 1:20, MKJV). We must learn to make a difference where God makes a difference. … testing things that differ (WT); … proving the things that differ (YLT); … examine the things differing (ED). 

Various renderings of Philippians 1:20:

“distinguish between things that differ” (MKJV)

“putting to the test the things that differ” (REB);

“testing things that differ” (WT);

“proving the things that differ” (YLT);

“examine the things differing” (ED).

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 .
