Sons of Oil

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.

Rev. 6 And The Magnetic Polar Reversals

Q. Could you explain what you were referring to when you stated in one of your answers that the 6th seal in Rev. 6 could occur in 2012?  The person who sent in the question to which you replied, also agreed that the 6th seal could happen during that year.  What is prompting you to say that?

A Famine Of The Lord’s Word

Q. It is my pleasure, once again, to seek your thoughts about matters pertaining to the end times.  Throughout your commentaries, I believe you stated there will be a lack of Bibles during the end times. Why is this so?

Is The False Prophet Jewish?

Q. Thank you again for this wonderful website.  My question is about the false prophet. We have been attending a series at a local church on Daniel and Revelation and the pastor who is teaching made a statement the the false prophet will be Jewish because he comes from the land rather than the sea. We would like to know your thoughts on this.

Not One Stone Left Standing On Another

Q. Thank you once again for your ministry.  It’s fascinating.  My question is this. Was the wailing wall a remnant of the temple or of a wall around it?  How does that line up with the scriptures (in three gospels) that not one stone would be left on top of another?

Who Was That Man?

Q. I have a question about Daniel chapter 10. In Daniel’s  vision, there seems to be more than one person communicating with Daniel; the “certain man {who} was clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz,” and the “one looking like the sons of men,” who has an appearance much less overpowering than the first figure. I have heard that the awesome, first figure is actually Jesus Christ himself and that an angel stood by to help Daniel when he was overcome by His awesomeness. I just need clearing up who is who.

Messianic Jews And The 144,000

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.

Understanding Daniel 8

Q. I am continuing my study in the book of Daniel and as you know, there are a lot of easily misunderstood verses in this book of the bible.  In Daniel 8:5 I believe the goat with the large horn is Alexander the Great.  I believe the small horn in vs 9 is talking about Antiochus Epiphanes IV.  I also understand that in vs 10 many scholars disagree on it being a dual prophecy regarding Antiochus as well as the future antichrist.  What, in your opinion, does verse 10 mean?  Thank you so much for the time and effort your put into your site and answering questions!

As It Was In The Days Of Noah

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man (Matt 24:37). The time leading up to the Great Flood was a lot like our time today in that it was characterized by a deliberate and escalating disregard for the ways of God. Finally “the Lord saw how great man’s wickedness on earth had become and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time” (Gen. 6:5).
