I’m not sure if you would call this an outline – it’s more of a summary of Isaiah. It is written by David Pearce and used with his kind permission.1 THE PROPHET ISAIAH Isaiah lived in the times of Uzziah, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah – round about 740 to 680 BC. This was […]
What does “I am saved to bear fruits” mean?
Perhaps the questioner has Romans 7:4 in mind: “Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. Bearing fruit for God is a vital […]
What did John the Baptist mean when he asked Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” (Mat. 11:3)?
I can think of 2 possible explanations for John the baptist’s question: He wanted his disciples to leave off following himself and follow Jesus, so he sent them to Jesus to see him for themselves the great things Jesus was doing. John had been imprisoned for some time by this stage and perhaps he was […]
Who was sent to minister to Paul when he was blind?
Ananias (see Acts 9:10-19)
What is the date that Christ was crucified? What was his age at death?
John was baptising in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar (Luke 3:1), which would be 29AD. It is widely accepted that Tiberius reigned from 14-37 AD. If the date for Tiberius Caesar’s reign is correct, Jesus must have commenced his ministry fairly soon after John did, as Jesus was about 30 at […]
If a priest died in the temple, did the temple have to be re-cleansed before another priest entered?
The rest of this question: And what was the process of the cleansing of the temple done? How long did it take? There is no record in Scripture, that I can recall, of a priest dying in the temple or tabernacle. There are no specific instructions for cleansing of the temple in the event of […]
Do spirits or ghosts roam the earth?
No. When people die it’s the end of their life. They cease to exist and their body turns back to dust (Ecc. 12:7). There is nothing left that could roam the earth. As Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 says: For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, […]
Was Simon the Zealot sawn in half?
We don’t really know how he died. Simon the Zealot was one of Jesus’ original apostles (Luke 6:15). As with most of the apostles, we know very little about him. When it comes to his death, apparently there are a lot of different stories about how he died.1 He died peacefully He was cut to pieces […]
Will the United States become part of the New World Order?
The theory of the New World Order does not fit with Bible prophecy. Consider the following: The prophecy in Daniel 2, indicates a sequence of powers that would rule before God establishes His Kingdom on earth: Head of gold Babylon Chest and arms of silver Medes and Persians Belly and thighs of bronze Macedonian/Greek power […]
Is it committing adultery if it’s my boyfriend?
Adultery is defined as “voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse”1 or, to put it more simply, if one of you is married then having sex is committing adultery. It doesn’t matter if you have started a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, if one of you is married then […]
