Q. You have written that some of the Jews who are saved [during the Tribulation] will survive to populate Israel in the Millennium, and some believing Gentiles will survive to populate the Nations. Will the survivors in both groups be mortal but free from disease, accidents, and a sin-nature because of the lifting of the curse from the earth? Will the Church interact with earth dwellers during the Millennium?

Q. You have taught that, as time passes during the Millennium, mortal man will will become increasingly evil, and sin will become widespread again. Therefore, when Satan is released he will have no problem gathering an army to go to war again against God. Does Scripture say that sin and rebellion will occur only in the Nations, but the Kingdom will be singularly free of it? Does it mean that Israel, alone on earth, will be free of the rebellion that will characterize the rest of the earth as the Millennium draws to a close? If Yes, is that a result of our Lord’s personal, hands-on, Rod of Iron rule of Israel?

Q. Re: Revelation 10:5-6. “The Angel standing one foot on the Earth and one foot on the Sea raises his hands to God and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer.” I know that Revelation is not in chronological order but it leaves me thinking. How will the End Time events occur if time itself is no longer?

Q. In these last days I’ve been trying to live according to God’s will, and I’ve been blessed because of it. I’m struggling with one thing though, and that’s dependence on pot. I smoke almost every day – especially this time of year when I am prone to bouts of severe depression and anxiety. It’s the only thing that helps. I asked a brother about it, and he said that we should live not only according to God’s law, but to that of society as well. He suggested that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and smoking may be harmful to to our health, thus sinful to God. I want to know how God feels about it. Is smoking pot a sin?

Commentary by Jack Kelley
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:4-7).

Q. While re-reading Luke a question popped up regarding the relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus. How could they be cousins if one was from Levi and the other Judah? Had marriage between tribes become a more normal occurrence? Or just an accepted practice in Judah after the split from Israel.

Q. I have question about Genesis 18 and the three angels that visited Abraham at Sodom and Gomorrah. One of them was the LORD (God). How is it that Abraham was able to look upon the face of God? My understanding is that no one can look upon the glory of God.

Q. I understand that the Jews will set up the temple during the 70th Week and resume animal sacrifices again. What happens after the tribulation and the millennial reign of Christ starts. Will they then worship Christ like the gentiles and will the temple still be used?

Q. After the bride is caught up to meet Jesus in the air, wouldn’t there have to be some space of time for the ten kingdoms to appear with ten kings. The Bible says they must exist for a while then the 11th king, the little horn of Daniel, aka the anti-Christ will arise. Your insight on this would be deeply appreciated.
