The Church Triumphant in Prophecy
John Thiel
Previous studies have shown that to be candidates of the church triumphant we need to reach certain qualifications of which these qualifications were enlarged. We also saw the need of submitting to the counsel of men and women of years of experience in the Lord if we will be of such a church. This study concludes this focus with a study of the church triumphant in prophecy. As previously studied, this church is a very difficult one to join and be part of. We tend to be in a time right now that is very perplexing. We live in perplexing times when it comes to identifying God’s church today and recognising such a church. The perplexing detail is expressed in Matthew 24. Jesus is speaking in reference to our time; Read the rest of this entry
Membership in the Church Triumphant
By John Thiel
Ephesians 5:25 Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Read the rest of this entry

Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

4. The Rising of the Church Triumphant
We have scanned prophecy as briefly as possible. We have illuminated the dark points of the church and how the prophecy led them out of that darkness. We notice that Isaiah 8:13-14 was repeated again and again. It was displayed before us as being an event before future generations.
Isaiah 8:13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread. Read the rest of this entry
The Requisites to Join the Church Triumphant
By John Thiel
Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
To become a member of Gods church there is a preparation and an attainment of standards and an agreement with the faith. Then upon profession of faith and baptism there is an acceptance by the church and then we join. But joining that church we are told;
He has a church, but it is the church militant, not the church triumphant. TM 45.
Our studies of the past have shown that the church triumphant is that of the remnant. Read the rest of this entry

Light in a Dark Place of the Church Militant
By John Thiel
Audio: Light in a Dark Place of the Church Militant
Scripture Reading: Zephaniah 3:1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
We are living in dark trying times for Gods genuine people. We need that God illumes our pathway. Also the light that shines in a dark place to illuminate our pathway. In our previous study we saw there is a personal dark spot in our human heart where God brings Jesus into close inward proximity so that the dark place in our heart can have the light of Jesus shine there. In this study we want to examine the dark place in the church militant. This may sound strange. In Gods church is there a dark place in the church militant? How does scripture that we have been quoting relate to the church militant? Read the rest of this entry
5. The Last Urgent Call to the Church Triumphant
By John Thiel
The call we are studying is the call of Revelation 18:4 which actually is an echo that has been the appeal of God throughout all the ages. Read the rest of this entry
Are you a Candidate of the Church Triumphant or Rich and Increased with Goods?
By John Thiel
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Here are the candidates. If any man open the door I will come in and sup with him. Who will He sup with? Who is to be encouraged here? Not the people who are already self encouraged – I’m part of the church I’m a member of Gods church, I’m increased with goods I have need of nothing. The message to the church of Laodecia is for those living in our time today. God is speaking to the leadership of the church. Read the rest of this entry
