Should Christians support the state of Israel?

Answered by BibleQ . July 22, 2024 - 5:55 pm

No. Christians should not support any state. Our allegiance should be to our future king, the Lord Jesus, who has promised to return and rule on earth. (There, that was one of the shortest answers on this website) This does not affect the different question as to God’s continuing relationship with the Jewish nation and […]

Can we use the unfulfilled prophecies in the Old Testament as the promises of the church?

Answered by BibleQ . February 13, 2013 - 10:06 pm

Yes and no. Yes. Some prophecies in the Old Testament have application to the church, including some that also have reference to the nation of Israel. No. It would not be reasonable for God to make a prophecy that is a clear reference to the nation of Israel being blessed after their repentance and play […]

Are African Americans the dispersed people of Israel?

Questioner’s comment: The Bible states that Israel and Judah will not be gathered to Israel again until Yashua (Jesus) returns. They are currently under the curses of Deuteronomy ch 28. The curses are to last forever. If you pay close attention to the curses there is only one peoples on the face of the earth […]

Why did the children of Israel take so long to reach Mt. Horeb?

Answered by BibleQ . October 11, 2012 - 8:27 pm

It took them several weeks. Exodus 16:1 They set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the people of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt. Exodus 17:6 Behold, I […]

Was the church in the Old Testament?

Answered by BibleQ . July 22, 2012 - 1:23 am

The full question was: If in acts 7:38 Stephen called Israel the church, does that mean the church was in the Old Testament or should we just call ourselves Israel? This question is presumably based on Acts 7:38 in the KJV: This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel […]

Where did the Israelites get gold, and how did they make jewelry, when they were in the wilderness?

Answered by BibleQ . February 23, 2012 - 10:34 pm

More details of question: In reading Exodus and the making of the ark and tabernacle, the Israelites gave more than enough gold and silver jewelry. I’m wondering where did all the gold come from and how did they make jewelry way back then? They were in the desert where did they get the tools/machines to […]

Who was the last priest of Israel?

Answered by BibleQ . February 23, 2012 - 10:17 pm

According to the Jewish historian Josephus the last priest was the unworthy Phannias the son of Samuel, who was killed at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.

How did all the Israelites, 2-3 million, get through the tabernacle to make their personal sacrifices?

Answered by BibleQ . January 24, 2012 - 5:41 pm 1

The total area of the tabernacle was 100 x 50 cubits (that is roughly 150 x 75 feet or 50 x 25 metres). This area was used to kill the sacrificial animals for the whole population. If you compare this with the size of a modern abattoir that is needed to process even a few […]

Who were the twelve patriarchs?

Answered by BibleQ . November 25, 2011 - 11:29 pm

The word “patriarch” means a progenitor (an originator of a line of descent). The 12 Patriarchs are the 12 sons of Jacob: Genesis 35:22-26 Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. (23) The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. (24) The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. (25) The […]

Why did Jacob tell Joseph that Joseph’s first two sons, who were born while he was in Egypt, would be “called by his name”, but not the other sons?

Answered by BibleQ . November 2, 2011 - 7:06 pm

The relevant passage is Genesis 48:5-6: And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are. (6) And the children that you fathered after them shall be yours. They shall […]
