Heartfelt welcome to our Indian brothers and sisters

It has been brought to our attention that we have been misrepresented on a major information web site. Antipas Christadelphians is the name of this web site not the name of our Fellowship.

Another site has misrepresented the reasons why we left the Berean Fellowship. So far, we have not addressed that misrepresentation. We know why we left. We will send you our actual letter; just ask. Don’t let someone interpret why we left. Make those judgments for yourself.

If you have questions about us, please direct them to us.

YOU CAN READ THE BIBLE IN A YEAR!

Have you ever wanted to read the entire Bible but found reading programs too tedious or confusing?

The Christadelphian Bible Companion is the perfect solution for you. By reading from its three portions daily, you will complete the Old Testament once in a year, and the New Testament twice. In 365 days you will read the entire Bible ; Genesis to Revelations, cover to cover. Unlike other Bible reading programs, The Christadelphian Bible Companion doesn't try to relate the readings to each other and there's nothing more to read than the Scripture itself. It's a simple, straight forward, reading plan with one or two chapters, per section, per day.

The Christadelphian Bible Companion is available in bookmark PDF or excel format.

Instructions for making BookMarks: download the file in PDF format and print on card stock, place sections together, making front and back sides, lightly glue together, separate the 3 sections and laminate for durability. Place them in the correct locations in your Bible.

Download in excel format The file isn't locked so you can alter the text size to suit your needs. This is especially helpful for those with poor eyesight.

You can also follow The Christadelphian Bible Companion daily readings on our site.

Some verses to refresh your mind on the signs of the end times. Our Lord is coming soon Rev.17:3,12-14 Luke 21:26 Ezek.38,39 Dan.11:40-45 Joel 3 Zec.12,14. Isa.26:20-21 II Peter

"25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. " Luke 21: 25-27

(In Biblical terms: The use of "sun, moon, stars and heaven" always represent political powers. While "the sea" represents the population of peoples)
Are men's hearts failing them for fear? Have the political powers of the earth been shaken? Are we confused by what is happening around us? Is Nebuchadnezzar's image forming once again, ready to stand on its feet? (See Daniel 2:32-45 ) As the nations begin to form unexpected alliances to fight terrorism, do you know which nations comprise "The King of the North" and the "King of the South?" What is supposed to happen when they align? Who is the stone made without hands? That knocks down the image and turns it to powder? Read: An Exposition of Daniel by bro. J. Thomas.


DOES ARMAGEDDON HAPPEN BEFORE OR AFTER THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST? Do you know the order of the events surrounding Christ's return to the earth? This Logos article puts the events in order. Other articles in this Logos series: Review of Bible Prophecy Outlining In Sequential Order The Events To Take Place Subsequent To Christ's Return explain, in a detailed easy to understand format, the prophetic scriptures and symbols in Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelations and others. Christ's return to the earth is close, very close. How do we know that? If you don't understand the prophecies concerning the "latter days" this series is a good place to begin.


Are you waiting for Jerusalem to be at peace before Christ's return?

The Bible emphatically says that the peace and safety "CRY" is a cry for peace and safety. People who have peace do not cry for peace. Israel won't have peace before his return. The Bible does not say they were going to HAVE peace and safety, but that they DESIRE peace and safety. Read The Peace and Safety Cry from Elpis Israel by bro. J. Thomas.

Christadelphian was not Brother Thomas's first choice --

Bro. Thomas had originally called us (Christadelphians): The Antipas, which he said is "a symbolical name, representing all in every place who hold fast the Spirit's name, bestowed upon the faithful because they were uncompromisingly opposed to all names and faiths which are not identical with those delivered once for all to the saints, by the Apostles of Christ." See: The Meaning of Antipas by Dr. Thomas.

What the Bible Really Teaches

1. The Bible - What it is, and how to interpret it
2. Human Nature Essentially Mortal, as proved by Nature and Revelation
3. The Dead Unconscious till the Resurrection
4. Immortality a conditional gift to be bestowed at the Resurrection
5. Judgment to come; the dispensation of Divine awards to responsible classes at the return of Christ
6. God, Angels, Jesus Christ, and the Crucifixion
7. The Devil not a personal supernatural being, but the scriptural personification of sin in its manifestations among men
8. The Kingdom of God not yet in existence, but to be established visibly on the earth at a future day
9. The Promises made to the Fathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob), yet to be fulfilled in the setting up of the Kingdom of God upon earth
10. The Kingdom of God the Final Instrumentality in the great scheme of human redemption
11. Christ the Future King of the World
12. The Covenant made with David to be realized in the reestablishment of the Kingdom of Israel under Christ
13. The Second Coming of Christ the only Christian Hope
14. The Hope of Israel, or, the Restoration of the Jews, a part of the divine scheme, and an element of the Gospel
15. Coming troubles and the Second Advent
16. Times and Signs: or the evidence that the end is near
17. The Refuge from the Storm: or, "What Must I Do to Be Saved?"
18. The Ways of Christendom Inconsistent With The Commandments of Christ

The Revelation --
Which Interpretation?

(Preterist - Continuous Historical - Futurist)

(By Graham Pearce)

No man can say with persuasion that he loves God if he is disinterested in prophecy, for prophecy is an essential part of the Truth which has proceeded forth from the Father. Neither can a man love Truth and be indifferent to apostasy. The love of God, then, compels a saint to identify the Apostasy foretold by prophet, apostle and the Lord Jesus.

Gathering Jews to the Holy City

Old Testament prophecy being fulfilled as you read this ... The ten tribes disbursed into captivity into Babylon; often called the "Lost Tribes;" are being found in the four corners of the world. Whole communities of Jews who did not know they were Jews but kept the customs of the law. Things like dietary regulations, the Menorah and Hebrew writing on tomb stones

A group of people called "International Fellowship of Christians and Jews" is promoting a program called "On Wings of Eagles." This program is currently seeking out and returning the Lost Tribes of Israel and helping them complete the "aliyah" emigration to their homeland. Jews and Christians united to return the children of Yahweh to the land. All part of the wondrous ways of Yahweh.

There is even a group collecting articles for use in the New Temple which we know will be rebuilt in the Kingdom Age.


Could the Second Coming of Christ be linked to the Second Passover of the Mosaic Calendar? The Law of Moses was a schoolmaster pointing toward Christ for "all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning him". (Luke 24:44) Julio Scaramastro examines one possible reason for the inclusion of the Second Passover in the Law of Moses and it's relationship to the sequence of events at the return of Christ and the events leading up to the judgment at Sinai.
