Q. You have said that believers are admonished to obey God’s commands both as evidence of their faith (you cite James) and in a show of gratitude for what we’ve been given. Are there any other verses beside the one in Romans 12 where Paul begs believers to, in light of God’s mercy, present our bodies as a living sacrifice/respond to the Lord out of gratitude?

Q. Re: Will There Be Enough Room? You said there would be plenty of room in the New Jerusalem for the approx. 2.74 billion people that would live there. I agree that there will be enough room as I am sure God knows what He is doing. My question is, did you mean from the time of the cross until the rapture there are approx. 2.74 billion souls included in the rapture/resurrection? That just seems like a low number to me.

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
Many believe that Daniel 9:24-27 is the most important passage of prophecy in all of Scripture. Almost every mistake I’ve run across in studying the various interpretations of End Times Prophecy can be traced back to a misunderstanding of this passage. Let’s begin the year with an updated and expanded study of this important prophecy.

Q. I have always wondered about how many people/Souls, have accepted The Lord Jesus as Savior, going all the way back to the 1st Century. It would seem to be hundreds of millions. Would we all fit in the New Jerusalem? The dimensions are very specific and finite. Am I under estimating the size of New Jerusalem?

Q. I have read that there are no tears in Heaven and therefore those that have died in Christ and are now in Heaven don’t remember those who remain here on earth. It breaks my heart to think that my mom doesn’t have any recollection of any of her children. Is this true? Also, I lost a baby some years ago while in my 4th month. Will I know him when I get to heaven, and will he know I was his mother?

Q. In a recent answer you noted that the Jews had to discontinue animals sacrifices in 70 A.D. because the Temple had been destroyed. No Temple/No Sacrifice. That makes sense. But what stopped them from breaking out the old “Porta Temple” — the Tabernacle. Even if Moses’ tent Temple was no longer available at that time, the Jews certainly had the specifications for it in the Torah. Why couldn’t they use a Temporary Temple like they did back in the day? Also, did the Jews discontinue sacrifices while in Babylon?

Q. Our Christian group has been discussing sin. Some say we are born with a sin nature and become sinners when we sin. Others say we are born sinners because we have a sin nature. What say you?

Q. In His Olivet Discourse, Jesus mentioned the need to watch for His 2nd coming (Matthew 24:42). I understand that we must keep watch for the Rapture since it will take place in “a twinkling of the eye” on an unknown date and time. However, the Second coming of Jesus is certain to happen after the 7-year Tribulation which will be known to the entire world including believers who survive the Tribulation (because everyone can see Him coming in the clouds!). So why watch for the Second Coming? What will be the consequences if one fails to watch for Jesus’ second coming?
