What is the difference between being called, being appointed, and remaining. In 1 Cor. 7:20 Paul said “Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called.” What did he mean?

I’ve always wondered why God had John describe everything he saw using symbols so often instead of plain language that would’ve been easier to understand?

I just finished reading your article on Gospel of the kingdom, and it seems to me that , according to what I read, the period of grace which the present church is enjoying is the period between the 69th and 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy. What is the difference and / or similarity between kingdom of God and the present church of God? Another one is that, the kingdom of God prophesied by Daniel, is it a physical kingdom or a spiritual one?

Who is Ephraim in Ezekiel 37:18-19 ? The British Israel false teachers say it’s the Church or even America, which I do not believe, but who is that verse referring to ? And who is Ephraim today?

I receive an email from a well know Christian man daily. Today he seemed to be scolding Christians for helping Pres. Obama get re-elected. I asked the Lord for guidance and voted for Obama because I believe this is what I was supposed to do. I would really like to know your thoughts on this issue.

You have said that Lot was removed from Sodom because God wouldn’t judge the righteous with the wicked. In 2 Peter 2:7-8 Peter Peter also called Lot righteous. Why did Peter call him that?

I have a question is about the angels held in chains (the watchers). Did these angels fall with the original group of angels that followed Satan or did they fall at a later time? Thanks for your response.

Now that it seems like more American Christians are facing hardship and persecution, and that the American economy might collapse, everyone is more open to the idea that the end is near. Our brothers and sisters the world over have been suffering for years. Christians are being martyred all over the world, why is is that just because America might suffer the wrath of God for our sins are we becoming more fearful that we really are approaching the last of the last days?

Recently I stumbled upon John 2:18-19 and need some clarification. Was John prophesying to a future generation instead of his own? Is it possible that The Lord spoke to the end times generation through him in this verse, while John himself was unaware of this and believed himself to be upon the last hour?
