Dispensational Truth is the Rev. Clarence Larkin’s famous book on dispensationalism with his beautifully drawn black and white charts. A must-have book for any student of dispensationalism, the book contains more than 115 charts, maps, and drawings.

The Book of Daniel Illustrated Book PDF/Epub Download

This superb and time-tested analysis and study by Clarence Larkin examines in detail, and explains with the truest clarity, the Biblical Book of Daniel. Having spent his life in service of God as a minister, and much of his time deeply vested in contemplation and study of the Biblical canon, Clarence Larkin placed himself in a prime position to evaluate and explain some of the more complex passages of the scripture. Naturally blessed with a readable and flowing style of writing, Larkin enlightened countless thousands of Christians during his lengthy career. In this book, we receive a passage-by-passage, line-by-line examination of the Book of Daniel. No detail or phrase is passed over, and the reader may be assured that Larkin pays the closest attention in explaining this important yet difficult to understand part of the Holy Bible. Larkin was moved to author this and several other books after receiving word from his flock and fellow believers of the difficulties they had reading and interpreting such texts. The chapters are divided into the major episodes underpinning the Book of Daniel. Events such as the dream of Nebuchadnezzer and the calamitous Fall of Babylon receive close narration, while the famous image of Daniel in the Lion's Den benefits greatly from the clarifying commentary of Larkin. This edition of Larkin's Book of Daniel includes all of the intricate charts and illustrations for which the author became famous. Several of these are very large and detailed images with large, small and tiny instances of text, and it is doubtless necessary to use a magnifying glass to fully scrutinize them. Vital to Larkin's explanations, they set out visually the principles that this book exists to clarify for the reader.

Dispensations Book PDF/Epub Download

Clarence Larkin was a famous Baptist pastor during the late 1800s and early 1900s. As a Bible teacher and author, he is mostly known for his works on Dispensationalism, which considers biblical history, as well as the future of all creation and mankind's role on earth, as divided into "ages." (Within this context, "ages" are specific periods of time that God has set in motion that will ultimately reach their climatic end at the Great White Throne judgment-the moment when God will judge everybody that has ever lived according to their works, followed by their destiny in Heaven or Hell.) Larkin's books, charts, and wood cuts greatly influenced Protestant conservatives in early America as well as Church evangelism throughout the twentieth century.Larkin was born in 1850 and became a Christian at the age of nineteen. He later joined the Episcopal Church but eventually left that denomination to become a Baptist pastor. He espoused many ideas from premillennialist theology, which was rapidly growing in popularity among early evangelicals at the time, drawn from major prophetic concepts shared by C.I. Scofield, William Eugene Blackstone, and John Nelson Darby. Larkin created original, detailed, prophetical wall charts to use while teaching his convictions around these ideas from the pulpit. This unique approach quickly became so popular that articles based on his teachings were published in the Sunday School Times, and soon, invitations for him to explain his ideas involving eschatology-the future and end-times prophecy-began coming in from across America and around the world.Starting in 1918, he published his first masterpiece, Dispensational Truth (or God's Plan and Purpose in the Ages), but high demand for his works quickly resulted in the additional titles, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth and The Book of Daniel. The brilliance of these books now constitute this first-ever single volume: DISPENSATIONS: The Clarence Larking Collection.

We can't promise perfection, but we're sure gonna try! Our goal is to bring you high quality Christian publications at rock bottom prices.This is a 24-page booklet designed to give tools for Christian service.Clarence Larkin was born October 28, 1850, in Chester, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. He was converted to Christ at the age of 19. He was a mechanical engineer, teacher and manufacturer by trade. In 1884, at the age of 34, he became an ordained Baptist minister. His first pastorate was at Kennett Square, Pennsylvania; his second was at Fox Chase, Pennsylvania, where he remained for 20 years. He was not a premillennialist at the time of his ordination, but his study of the Scriptures, with the help of some books that fell into his hands, led him to adopt the premillennialist position. He began to make large wall charts, which he titled, "Prophetic Truth," for use in the pulpit. These led to his being invited to teach, in connection with his pastoral work, in two Bible institutes. During this time he published a number of prophetical charts, which were widely circulated.He spent three years of his life designing and drawing the charts and preparing the text for his most noteworthy book "Dispensational Truth." Because it had a large and wide circulation in this and other lands, the first edition was soon exhausted. It was followed by a second edition, and then, realizing that the book was of permanent value, Larkin revised it and expanded it, printing it in its present form. Larkin followed this masterpiece with other books. During the last five years of his life, the demand for Larkin's books made it necessary for him to give up the pastorate and devote his full time to writing. He went to be with the Lord on January 24, 1924.The Christian Worker's Outfit

Investigating William Branham Book PDF/Epub Download

Who was William Branham (1909-1965) and what were his claims? He was an American pastor and evangelist credited for spearheading the post World War II healing revivals of the 1940s and 50s. In the 1960s, he began to view himself as Elijah the prophet of Malachi 4:5-6, who restores the elect to the word of God as a forerunner of Christ's return; the seventh angel messenger of Revelation 3:14 and 10:7, who reveals every hidden mystery of the Bible in the end time; and the fulfillment of the Son of man ministry of Luke 17:30, who reveals Christ to the last generation as a prophet. He also believed his message was the "shout" of Christ's second coming in 1 Thessalonians 4:16.Currently, an estimated two million people believe Branham's claims. Nonetheless, this full-sized book of 17 chapters and 320 pages challenges his claims and teachings from an insider's perspective through an eight months investigative research. In doing so, the author provides a convincing compilation of more than 3,000 excerpts, credible references, official documents, archived newspaper articles, historical facts, and insightful scriptures. This compilation uncovers wide-ranging plagiarisms, disproven and embellished supernatural vindications, failed visions, failed prophecies, failed "Thus saith the Lord," failed predictions, and vast unscriptural doctrinal errors. Among Branham's most celebrated claims, the revealing of the seven seals in the book of Revelation are considered the pinnacle of his teachings. He supposedly did what the Old Testament prophets, New Testament apostles, church reformers, or any other clergy throughout history had never achieved. He claimed that seven angels revealed these hidden mysteries.However, this timely book examines, diligently compares, and provides nearly 100 pages of evidences that suggest Branham almost certainly got his understanding of the seven seals and 20 other significant revelatory teachings--supposedly revealed by God--from several well-known biblical writers of the past. These teachings include the seven church ages and messengers, seventh angel of Revelation 3:14 and 10:7, two comings of Elijah, the beast of Revelation 13, Mystery Babylon and daughters; the image, mark, and number of the beast; United States in prophecy, Daniel's seventy weeks, historical applications of four beasts, Godhead doctrines, serpent seed, water baptism, and several more.The authors of these commentaries and books are mostly Clarence Larkin (1850-1924), a very distinguished and knowledgeable Bible teacher; Uriah Smith (1832-1903), an educator and theologian of the Seventh Day Adventist; Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916), a restorationist and founder of a movement that later became the Jehovah's Witnesses organization; John Gill (1697-1771), a noted biblical scholar and theologian; and Albert Barnes (1798-1870), a noted theologian. We shall also consider other noted biblical scholars of the same eras (e.g. Cyrus Scofield and Henry Halley).Moreover, this research provides extensive scriptural evidences uncovering vast errors in Branham's teachings, including a false gospel of salvation. How? During the latter years, Branham believed his message was necessary or the evidence for salvation, the Holy Spirit baptism, the new birth, and rapture to heaven; rather than the gospel of Christ preached by the apostles.This book also examines the inaccuracies and repeated revisions in Branham's visions of 1933, whereby God allegedly revealed seven major events that would transpire before Christ's return in 1977. This research pinpoints developing historical trends and occurrences between the 1920s and 1960s that possibly influenced those seven prophecies and revisions. The final updated version of these visions appears in his 1965 book on the seven church ages, where the obvious errors from earlier sermons had been cleverly removed. Thus, when facts are weighed, Branham's teachings and claims are conclusively proven wrong.

Spiritual warfare is not a game, and the devil is not an innocent puppy. He is the master deceiver, thief, and murderer, and the force behind nearly all evil. He is full of all kinds of cruelty, pain, curses, and blight known to the human family. To survive his attacks, you must realize that the devil is a real enemy, hell-bent on destroying you. I challenge you to get serious today about determining methods to rebuke him and keep him from hindering your service to the Lord. Where did Satan come from? Did God create the Devil? Is God responsible for evil? Such questions plague the individual who wrestles with the existence of our adversary in the light of the Bible’s revelation of the holiness of God. Philosophy can never give a satisfactory answer to these questions. The only satisfying answer is God’s answer, found in his Word. If we are going to combat this enemy known as “Satan,” then we must know his motives and his methods. Our goal in this book is to resolve this and answer many other questions as we talk about every believer’s responsibility in spiritual warfare.

Finally, a book which simplistically, insightfully and systematically presents an integrated, concrete overview of the 22 chapters, or 404 verses, of the book of Revelation. "Revelation Unsealed" is unique in a number of major areas. It is the first book to approach the text of Revelation from what is termed the Pre-Wrath Rapture perspective. This is the hotly debated view that the church will enter the Seventieth Week, undergo the great tribulation of the Antichrist, and be gathered off the earth before the wrath of God unfolds. This view is presented in a logical scenario, which is then placed within the overall context of the Apocalypse. Also contained is an entirely fresh biblical perspective of the emergence of the Antichrist. Additionally, this book also fully covers the relevance of world events, the amazing track record of biblical prophecy, the fulfillment of the seven religious feast of Israel, the battle of Armageddon, and the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ. All of these issues are addressed in a concise and simple manner with numerous charts and illustrations to aid the reader in easily conceptualizing and visualizing what is outlined. Its contents will challenge both the newest Christian and the seasoned biblical scholar.

Waiting for the End of the World Book PDF/Epub Download

An “exhilirating” novel of domestic terrorism in the gritty streets of 1980s New York from the National Book Award–finalist and author of Straight Cut (The New Yorker). As a staff photographer at Bellevue hospital in Manhattan, Clarence Dmitri Larkin is exposed to the fraying underbelly of New York City. Drawn in by the stories of the sick, the lost, and the insane, Larkin’s own dark impulses lead him through the streets of Brooklyn’s shadowy warehouse district. Increasingly isolated from the world around him, Larkin falls in with a disturbed cell of outcasts. Their ringleader, empowered by confused visions of grandeur and revolution, launches an outlandish scheme to plant an atomic bomb in the catacombs under Times Square. Narrated with unsettling plausibility, Bell’s debut novel demonstrates the remarkable literary skill celebrated in his later novels, such as Soldier’s Joy and The Year of Silence. With “real brilliance . . . full of fire . . . Bell provides promise: promise of his own talent and promise that young American writers are not all retreating from ‘big’ subjects” (The New York Times). “Every sentence [Bell] writes is a joy. His power is exhilarating.” —The New Yorker
