I’m wondering about the saints that came out of their graves after Jesus was resurrected. Why do you think only some were raised out of their graves? Also, did they receive glorified bodies at that time? Or did they come out of their graves only to appear to those in the city and then disappear? Did they live another lifetime on earth and then die again, or did they receive glorified bodies and go to heaven like Jesus did? And last, are they also considered as being part of the first fruit like Jesus, since they were raised at the same time?

Do you think the disciples and Jesus ever had “fun”? I mean, when they were resting or just before sleeping, did they just ever sit around and talk? Or were they just so focused on their ministry that they didn’t need/want that kind of interaction with each other?

In the last 6 months or so, I have found that nothing I am involved with is ever simple! People don’t get along, students don’t work to their potential, everything is more difficult to do, there’s not enough time in the day to get things accomplished, our country is suffering due to the lack of moral absolutes, etc. It makes me wonder, since many of us truly believe that the Rapture could happen at anytime and quite soon, if perhaps the Holy Spirit might be “weaning” Himself out of the Church a little bit at a time and thereby allowing the ruler of this world – Satan – to have more of a stronghold in our daily lives?

You recently commented that there may be nuclear weapons fired at Russia and the coastal areas of Europe in the Ezekiel 38/39 event. You alluded to this by quoting Ezekiel 39:6 which reads : “I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coast lands, and they will know that I am the Lord”.

Surely the emphasis is on the first word of Ezekiel 39:6, the “I ” part of the scripture, meaning God Himself will pour fire down from heaven, because a nuclear attack by Israel would result in such a huge back-lash that it would perish. The armies that die on the hills of Israel also appear to be killed by God rather than the people of Israel. Is it not safe to assume, therefore, that there is no military conflict at all in Ezekiel 38/39 and that God Himself does all the destruction of Israel’s enemies?

Please help me understand what the Lord is saying in Isaiah 5 where He says through the prophet that He will take away the hedge from the vineyard? Is the hedge symbolic of the Holy Spirit and the vineyard symbolic of Israel or maybe us as Christians?

If the spirit of a believer goes to be in the presence of the Lord when he/she passes. Where does a non-believer go when he/she passes?

Ezekiel 39:6 says “I will send fire on Magog and those who live in safety in the coast lands and they will know that I am the Lord.” Who are the people who live in safety in the coast lands?

While reading on your pages, I have started wondering why the Jews need permission from a world leader to build the temple? Couldn’t they just build it now? And what will make them even want the temple? They have been in Israel for many years now without the temple and the sacrifices – why will they suddenly want it all back?

The talking that is taking place between Israel and the U.S. now concerning attacking Iran is drawing a lot of expert analysis. These analysts seem to be well informed on the pros and cons of making the attack. They seem to forget one important fact. If Iran is not attacked then Israel will be DESTROYED. This seems to over rule all other considerations for Israel.

I have been struck by Luke 14:12-14, where Jesus speaks to the host of the dinner. What is your understanding of it? There are three dinner references in this chapter. Are they all parables or just the third one?
