Regarding the “24 elders” (Rev. 4:4, 11:16, etc.). We understand that these 24 elders are “us” (the Church-age believers). Do you believe that all believers are somehow “collectively embodied” within the 24 elders or are the 24 elders symbolic? Or is it possible that we will all individually get a chance (when our “rotation” is called) to sit on one of the “24 thrones” much like the duties were rotated after the lots were cast for certain activities in the House of the LORD as described in 1 Chronicles chapters 24 & 25?

Do you think it at all possible that ‘the last trump'(Rapture) could be the Tekiah Gedolah or the last trumpet call of the shofar at the feast of Trumpets?

You have said on your web site that Revelation 5 has the church in heaven. I have read it and I can’t find any mention of the church there. Can you explain? ( It says…”I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands”….I see angels, elders, and living creatures, but no saints or church.)

What is difference between lukewarm and little strength?

I have been told by a Christian Jew that the Feast of the Trumpets is the “The feast of the unknown day and hour”. And that will be the day of the Lord’s Second Coming and could be the day of the Rapture as well. He said this feast happens every seven years and is the only feast that is on the first day of the month. That in the Torah it says that two witnesses were sent out on the 29th day to watch when the first sign of the crescent moon would appear and the feast would begin.

He also said that Jesus was referring to this feast when He said we could not know the day and hour. That Jesus did not say we couldn’t know the time, just the day and hour. Exactly, what is the feast of the Trumpets? And could this relate to time of the rapture?

I do have to say that even though I hold to the pre-mil, pre-trib rapture belief, I know there are very godly men and women who hold other beliefs based on careful study of scripture. Isn’t it a matter of preparedness rather than salvation? Should we let this divide the church?

During the millennium Satan will be removed, but man will still reject Christ. In your opinion would Adam and Eve or one of their offspring have eventually sinned even if Satan had been bound?

Your site is wonderful and so helpful with Bible study. Thank you! I know that believers will live in the New Jerusalem. Will angels live there too or do they live somewhere else?

A friend of mine believes that many end times things happened in the 1st century AD and I’m trying to find precise information in the Bible (more than Mt 24, rebirth of Israel in 1948 etc) that we are in the end of the end times so I can say with corroborative evidence why I believe what I believe. Can you help?

What do you say to someone who questions if the delay for the completion of the 70th week is just a convenient way to explain away the fact that the world hasn’t ended yet and to make the bible match up more accurately to actual events. What in the bible supports that delay? I believe the Bible is factual but I’m not sure how to answer this question. Love your website. Thanks!
