    Revelation 20:15 What does it mean?

    Following the thousand year reign of Jesus, a final test will be given to all the earthly subjects-those that are resurrected and those that survive the "great tribulation." (Revelation 7:14) This test starts by Satan being released from the abyss. Those, now in perfect condition both physically...

    Hebrews 9:27

    Great question! I think-in a condensed explanation-that that this scripture is referring to two deaths that some will undergo. The first is a physical death due to the inherited sin from Adam (Roman 5:12); and, the second means a permanent death, without hope of another resurrection. Consider...

    Can LGBTQ individuals be saved?

    Consider 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. This should give you a starting point to answer your question.

    Embracing Doctrinal Diversity - Unity in diversity

    Giving respect to others is just and paramount; however, showing, agreeing, adapting, etcetera to “doctrinal diversity” is suspect and not supported scripturally. There are many scriptural references about this subject. I have identified, for consideration, a lengthy list. Consider: Matthew...

    The Rich Man and Lazarus- What Guilt is Laid on the Rich Man?

    Jesus Christ was speaking to his disciples in the present of the Pharisees and scribes prior to the account at Luke 16:19-31; and, taught lessons by telling this story through the means of parables or illustrations.-Matthew 13:34, 35; Luke 8:10. In this illustration, the rich man depicts the...

    LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN ISN'T A PARABLE AND CAN TEACH US SOME PRINCIPLES ABOUT LIFE AFTER DEATH

    Jesus Christ was speaking to his disciples in the present of the Pharisees and scribes prior to the account at Luke 16:19-31; and, taught lessons by telling this story through the means of parables or illustrations.-Matthew 13:34, 35; Luke 8:10. In this illustration, the rich man depicts the...

    What Did Jesus Mean by “Lord, Lord”? (Matthew 7:21)

    This suggests to me that using “Lord” twice is an emphasis of acknowledgment and respect that Jesus Christ has authority of judgment over the past, present and future people of the earth.

    Revelation 21:2 What does it mean?

    This New Jerusalem is heavenly, not earthly, for it comes down “out of heaven from God.” (Revelation 21:2, 9, 10) Compare Ephesians 5:24-27. Therefore, this city does not consist of literal streets and buildings. It consists of the 144,000 anointed members of the “bride” class-“the Lamb’s...

    Daniel 7 - 10 horns....

    This can be a very complicate and confusing subject to discuss-especially in this manner. Consider what the Bible says carefully and compare it to world history. The beast that Daniel saw represented the Roman World Power. –Daniel 2:4; 7:8. Compare Revelation 17:10. In the fifth century C.E...

    Question- "For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.”

    True, the Bible speaks of certain “dead” ones as being conscious, but these are only said to be dead in a spiritual sense, not literally. Contrarily, some that are physically dead are alive to God.-Matthew 22:32 Since the physically dead are “conscious of nothing at all” (Eccl. 9:5), these dead...

    Does it matter what you believe?

    All that we believe and do needs to be grounded not on basic knoweldege but on "accurate knoweldge." Most professedd Christians have varing degrees of knowelge, but not accurate. Consider and reflect on the scriptures: Romans1:28; 10:2; Ephisians 1:7; Philippians 1:9; Colossians 1:9, 10; 2:2...

    Daniel 7 - 10 horns....

    The "little horn" refers to Britian. See my post on Sept 17, 2025.

    the Messianic Bloodline was through a woman!

    The linage of Christ can seem to be contradictory. Although Joseph’s linage is from David, Matthew’s account is not a true “blood line” because Jesus did not have a biological father. However, his step-father was also from the linage of David. In Luke’s account, Joseph is identified as the son...

    Who Wrote Psalm 72?

    I believe or it seems to me that King David was the writer of Psalms 72

    Revelation 20: 5&6

    The first resurrection refers to the 144,000 Anointed with a heavenly reward. The second resurrection refers to the non- anointed with an earthly reward. “The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended” is not referring to the literal dead. It is refereeing to the...

    Daniel 7 - 10 horns....

    The reference to the ten horns and subsequent “little horn” is mentioned in Daniel 7:8, 19, 20, 23, and 24. The “ten horns” are smaller kingdoms that formed from the forth beast’s expanded empire, but after/during its decline and dissolution before the little horn emerged. (Chapter 7:7) This...

    Nebuchadnezzar's Statue vs. Heads of the Beast - How Would You Link Them?

    The beast described at Daniel 7:6 and 8:21 refers to the Greek Empire. Later, the four sub-kingdoms that arose out of Alexander’s kingdom (Daniel 8:8, 22), and they were absorbed/conquered by Rome-becoming the sixth world power of Bible prophecy. (Daniel 7:7; Revelation 17:10) The “small horn”...
