Thanks GWH for your question about Hebrews 1:14: "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? " Many persons read this and think that this means that angels don't have a physical body, because they are called 'spirits' in this verse. It...

Thanks Sacredwarrior for your question about the temple mentioned in Revelation 11:1-2. We read: "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the...

Thanks Blain, for your question about prophets. The Bible speaks about all true believers as being prophets in the sense that they testify of Jesus. We read in the Bible: "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren...

Thanks Blain, for posting the verses of interest to you. It seems that you are looking for physical signs or physical phenomenon, and that you are wondering if they will happen and if they will be what is seen physically in an end-times scenario. I tend to read the Bible in a different way...

Thanks Blain. Can you give an example of a solar eclipse in the Bible that you wish me to comment on? Natural phenomenon are important, in their own way, because God created the universe in the way that he sees fit. A rock, a tree, a planet, might all be significant, and show something about...

Hi. Thanks Blain, for your question about whether the moon is a picture of the bride of Christ. To think of the moon as the bride of Christ might be a good guess, but I can think of some reasons why it might not be. For example, the moon is the lesser light to rule the night (in Genesis). The...

Thanks for being interested in the things of God, Blain. Sure, for example, the woman who is clothed with the sun in Revelation 12 is a picture of believers. We know this because she is clothed with Christ (the sun - that is, Christ's righteousness and not her own). Further, the moon is under...

Thanks Blain, for being interested in this scenario of the moon as blood and the sun being dark. The sun is a picture of Christ in the Bible. We read about that in Psalm 19: "In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a...

Thanks donnyscot for your question. In my opinion, and it is just an opinion, the term 'all the land' is referring to the spiritual darkness that was upon the land of Judea, described as all the land. 'The land' in the Bible usually refers to the land of God's people, though sometimes in parable...

Thanks Seeker of Knowledge, for your question. While I do not like it when someone curses using God's name, I am not so sure that this situation is what is being described in the 3rd commandment. What happens when man builds something of his own strength that is not in line with God, but that...

Thanks for your question asking whether the book of Revelation is literal or something else. The Bible is called God's 'law' in the Bible. Psalm 119 uses the term interchangeably with the terms 'testimonies', 'precepts', 'statutes', 'commandments', and 'judgements'. In this Psalm, we get the...

Thanks GWH for your response. It seems you are advocating that apostles miracles have ceased. But you are basing this, it seems to me, on a surface interpretation of the verses. For example, consider drinking poison which you mention. Do you think that the verse in question is talking about...

Thanks Brasspen, for mentioning this piece of scripture: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on...

Thanks for reminding us of hope. I like a verse that tells us that Jesus is our hope: "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; " I also like the one you mentioned from Hebrews: "Which hope we have as an anchor of the...

Thanks p_rehbein. I enjoyed these scriptures which you posted.

Thanks ValleyAnt. I like your name. I see Christians as being the ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation. I also see the Angel of the Lord as being Jesus the deliverer of the saints. Some might say that that cannot be, since Christians have a flesh...

Thanks for helping teenagers! I did notice that you had a very very loose translation, which does really make a difference in the meaning of the scripture you are asking the Lord to help you to teach. "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he...

Thanks Pilgrimshope. Let there be light Let there be Jesus

Thanks phil36 for noticing that Adam and Eve are a picture of something. Adam is a picture of Christ. Adam's wife Eve is a picture of something too. The Bible calls Eve 'the mother of all living'. "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. This seems to...

I really enjoyed when glf quoted Titus 3:5: to answer the question about what 'water' means in the verse about being born of water and the spirit. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy...
