Q. I have a specific issue. It’s obvious that, especially considering the times we live in, our most important priority is to pray for those around us to be saved, since prayer is the most we can do and otherwise, we can volunteer, attend our churches, etc. But what can I do besides pray? I know that prayer will lead me far, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

Q. Why did Jesus speak of raising up those who believe in Him on the last day? Doesn’t the rapture come at least 7 years before the last day?
Also, is the New Jerusalem populated only by the Church, or will Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob have residence there. It’s difficult to believe they will live on the new earth but have no permanent home in the Eternal City.

Q. If one accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior, does that mean they get a free ticket to heaven, or do they have to grow spiritually and form a closer relationship to the Lord? I am wondering this because of our sin and how hard Jesus says that it is for rich people to make it to heaven.

Q. Your site and articles are a blessing. Can you tell me what the seven thunders of Revelation 10:4 mean? And why are they sealed? Could this possibly relate to the sealing of the words of Daniel? Thanks so much for all your inspiration.

Q. What does this verse in John 20:22-23 mean? “If you forgive men’s sins they are forgiven them and if you hold them bound they are held bound?” The Catholic Church takes this to validate the confessional and forgiveness of sins by the priest. Your insight is appreciated.

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” (Matt. 6:19-20)

Q. Wondering what your thoughts are on the subject of Christians making covenants? An increasing number of bible studies and christian groups are asking participants to sign covenants agreeing to whatever is required by the course, or to certain obligations within the group. I feel uncomfortable being asked to do so. Wondering if you have addressed this subject in your writings? Thanks!

Q. I had a thought the other day, in Daniel 7, verse 25 specifically, it talks about the Anti Christ thinking to change the times and the law. Is this saying he is trying to change the calendar? and international laws? I find this interesting since all this hype about the mayan calendar ending in 2012, and it appears that we are heading to a one world government, just something I have been thinking about, but I want to clarify what Daniel is saying exactly. Thanks so much!

Q. First I want to say I believe you are a great teacher and have tremendous wisdom. I enjoy reading your articles and answers. However, I believe you are incorrect about timing of the rapture. I was in Bible college when the booklet came out 88 reasons the rapture will occur in 1988. And as you know it did not come to pass. If you are correct about the timing of the rapture then that is awesome? And I would say, Yaaaaaaah!!!! But how do you think your end time theology will change when you are wrong and 2012 has come and gone?

Q. I was studying some on the “Kingdom” and read in one of your articles that the 1000 yr period on earth will contain Trib saints and Israel, with the Church being in the New Jerusalem.
