Down to Earth But Heavenly Minded

Writings by J. G. Bellett

At THESSALONICA the coming and kingdom of the Lord Jesus had been especially received through the apostle's ministry; and in the epistles to the church there he still feeds them with further light upon that great doctrine. But while he does that, he has also to correct a certain practical error which was peculiar to them.

As to the duration of Messiah's kingdom, those words in Psalm 72, "His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun," — I think the Spirit defines here how long His kingdom will continue, "as long as the sun,." that is, till the heaven and earth shall pass away, and God will be all in all. We are here, beloved, to help one another's joy in the discovery of truth; and though there may exist little differences in our views, they need not cause a ruffle.

"Diadem" and "Crown"

Today, the terms "diadem" and "crown" are used synonymously. However, it is important to understand that the two words identify different things. The difference has spiritual connotations to the future glorified sons of God.

The diadem is a symbol of royal power and rulership. Originally, it was a linen or silk band around the brow, and over time, it changed to a flexible band of gold. The Encyclopedia Britannica, eleventh edition, remarks, "The [modern] crown seems to be an evolution from the diadem rather than the lineal descendant of the older crowns." Webster's Dictionary defines diadem as "crown: specifically a royal headband; regal power or dignity."

At our Bible Study yesterday, Nov. 9th, 2022, the question came up about old manuscripts of the Bible. The Institute for Creation Research has an article on the Internet that sheds light on this subject. This is that article.

Writings by J. G. Bellett

Nothing that can glorify Him in the full display of Himself is left unrevealed there. The display of God in creation was necessarily partial, but in the mystery of Jesus, the Child of Bethlehem, it is perfect and complete.
