“The World to Come”

While exiled on the island of Patmos, the Apostle John saw in VISION “The World to Come” (Hebrews 2:5):

“And I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

Then I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things are passed away.’

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

Then He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who THIRSTS. He who OVERCOMES shall INHERIT all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.”

Origin of Christmas

The Christmas tree. Where did Santa Claus originate anyway? And a lot of people would think that from what you see in the stores and what you see on your street corners with men dressed up to let little children think they are Santa Claus, that it would be Santa Claus. birthday that they.re celebrating, and does Christmas really celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ? Was He born on December the 25th?

You’re going to be surprised if you’re not afraid of being offended. Did Paul the apostle of the early Church of the New Testament ever celebrate Christmas? Does the Bible tell you to celebrate Christmas? Do you know what the Bible says about the Christmas tree? And it does tell you something about it.

You know if you.d only stop to think, you.re doing a lot of things you don.t know why you do. You don.t know how you came to do them, but just like dumb sheep we follow the crowd, and other people are doing it, and we all do the same.

Topical Index “Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.” How true this seems to me. This Topical Index is not finished and cannot be. It is simply an effort to list basic related scriptures under subject headings to assist in bible study and in answering questions. It has been compiled with input from many individuals but it has inherent limitations. There is simply no right or complete set of scriptures except the Bible itself. Also, different people take into account different things. This is a start though and I hope a profitable one to you.- Mark Mickelson (December 2002)

While this listing is very detailed, it is not an exhaustive listing of the doctrines of The Church of God.
