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?

This is an interesting subject! I personally don’t believe in building a bomb shelter, just in doing my part to provide for the emergency needs of my family in accordance with 1 Timothy 5:8, which says, ” But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” Is that a faith problem?

I understand that the religious calendar came into existence either in Abraham’s time or Moses’ time, but I am not sure which. Do you happen to know? If it was Moses’ time, did the religious calendar come in before or after Exodus 19?

I have a question about Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s nuclear threats against Israel. The chapters of Ezekiel 38 and 39 appear to indicate that the Moslem Coalition and Russia invade the Jewish nation by way of assembling an army. Are nuclear weapons the same as a gathering army? If this nuclear threat prophetically pertains to this invasion then how can Israel’s enemies plunder a land that is victimized by such a holocaust?

You have mentioned that in going for the Crown of Victory, we’re not competing against each other, but against our old selves, also called “the flesh”. My question is this, if a born-again believer loses the battle against the flesh and commits adultery, is the Crown of Victory gone forever, or can it still be awarded if the person repents and lives out the rest of their days in righteousness, justice, mercy and truth?
