Last Week’s Feature Article by Jack Kelley

Then the angel who talked with me returned and wakened me, as a man is wakened from his sleep. He asked me, “What do you see?”

I answered, “I see a solid gold lamp stand with a bowl at the top and seven lights on it, with seven channels to the lights. Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”

I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

He answered, “Do you not know what these are?”

“No, my lord,” I replied.

So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.

Did They See God Or Not?

Posted September 6th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher

Q. I was doing a study of Exodus and came across Exodus 24: 9-11.  Could you help me understand why was it that the Lord allowed all these men to see Him while stating many times throughout the Bible that no one has ever seen Him and that to see Him is death.  Does the statement that they “went up and saw the God of Israel” imply only that they went up and interacted with him or does this mean they actually looked at Him?

Messianic Jews And The 144,000

Posted August 23rd, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher

Q. First I’d like to say I love your site.  The questions are often ones I’d have asked myself, and your answers are enlightening.  You have really been a blessing in my expanded knowledge and understanding of the Bible.  On another website there was an article concerning the number of Messanic Jews in Israel and the US.  The numbers were 50,000 something in Israel and around 350,000 in the USA.  I understand that the 144,000 witnesses for Christ are 12,000 men from each tribe.  This got me thinking, would they be in place prior to the rapture and would they need to be in Israel or could they already be dispersed throughout the world.  Your insight would be appreciated.

Psalm 26

Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind, for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.

Psalm 25

Posted August 10th, 2010 in Bread From Heaven, Tough Questions Answered

To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.

Israel’s Calendar Discrepancy

Posted August 9th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher

Q. If the age of man is supposed to be 6,000 years and we expect the Lord to return soon,  Why is the Hebrew calendar only  at 5770 years? This seems like an odd number if indeed we are so close to the end?

Psalm 24

Posted August 3rd, 2010 in Bread From Heaven

The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.  Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

Can Someone From The Church Be Part Of The 144,000?

Posted August 2nd, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher

Q. If the first Christians were Jews, then those first Christians were obviously from one tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel.  If so then some Christians around the world should have Jewish linage from one tribe of the 12 tribes.  Using this logic could a Christian today be from one tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel, making it possible for Christians to be among the 144,000 sealed in Rev. 7?

Is This For Israel Or The World?

Posted July 25th, 2010 in Ask a Bible Teacher

Q. Was the promise recorded in 2 Chronicles 7:14 intended only for ancient Israel or does it apply to the Church as well?  Many Charismatic believers use this verse to support their view that there will come a great revival in the world prior to the return of Jesus.

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

Whenever I get several questions on the same subject within a few days, I assume someone is trying to give me a topic for the feature article. This is especially true if it’s unrelated to anything I’ve recently written about, as was the case this week.
