Reply from JPN: Thanks Sherri, glad it helped. World and prophetic events are definitely heating up!

Reply from JPN: Awesome. Glad it helped

Reply from JPN: Hi... no sorry. Just this site. Pleased you like it so far

Reply from JPN: Great - Thanks for letting us know Getting a few people reading the Ezek 38 study this week for obvious reasons!

Reply from JPN: Thanks and yeah, our world sure needs prayer! The birth pains have to come but we should all be praying that people's eyes will be opened to the truth of Jesus and the lateness of the hour in which we live.

Reply from JPN: Hi, yeah this is one of many prophetic passages that are very relevant to our times. It is a good thought about what perturbed Daniel... The answer I believe is found in what Daniel specifically enquired about in Dan 7:19-20. That is, the last beast and specifically the 10 horns and the 'little horn' that comes up. This is the antichrist and he was not seen in Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 2. It seems this is new and horrifying to Daniel. And it obviously is given more detail in Revelation 13 especially which I'm currently studying in the Revelation series.

Reply from JPN: Thanks and amen, well said. Believers know, or at least should know, where things are headed. We have hope and peace in Jesus even in crazy times... but we often forget what it is like to not have these. We should pray for courage and opportunities to share as you have rightly said.

Reply from JPN: Hi, Luke 22:28-30 shows that the original disciples' faithfulness would be rewarded with specific positions of authority in Jesus' coming Kingdom. The application of this passage (reigning with Christ as a reward) applies to faithful service of all believers as seen in other passages mentioned like Rev 2:25-26.

Reply from JPN: Hi, yeah the two goats show two aspects of the Atonement. The first goat was sacrificed for the sins of the people showing there had to be a death to cover the sins. The second, the scapegoat, had their sins transferred to it and was sent away - never to be seen again. This represented the sins of the people being take away and never seen again! It's good news! There is more on the whole feast, including the goats, here:

Reply from JPN: Thanks, I'm pleased you liked it. And yeah with the weekend's horrific attack on Israel passages such as Ezekiel 38 and also Isaiah 17 concerning Damascus become all the more relevant. Certainly need to watch where this all goes!

Reply from JPN: I attended a non-denominational church called Living Waters in New Zealand for 25 years (which closed early 2020) where my brother and I spent most of that time on the leadership team. Currently meeting each week in a home

Reply from JPN: Hey - Thanks for the great encouragement and really pleased you have persisted with this strange voice and odd sayings! Though I'm pretty sure it is everyone else that has the accent, not me! May God bless you too on that bike... what we do for fun aye?

Reply from JPN: Hi, yeah there are increasing natural disasters it seems, in line with what the Bible says about the last days. The loss of life is always horrible but stands as a reminder to all that life is short, fragile and unpredictable. Most importantly it presses home the need to be right with God in the time we have. In Jesus' day a tower fell killing 18 and his reaction was to emphasize again the need of those remaining to repent lest they perish (Luke 13:4-5). The Bible says we are appointed to die once and then face the judgement (Heb 9:27). It doesn't speak of a second chance after that for now is the day of salvation. In terms of children and babies that die, this is a wider question, addressed in the following link. Hope it helps.

Reply from JPN: Hi, yeah according to the law (Exod 23:22-23, Deut 16:16) all Jewish males were required to travel to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover/Unleavened Bread, Weeks/Pentecost and Tabernacles. Jesus kept these as He perfectly fulfilled the law and the Gospels gives references to Him keeping Passover and Tabernacles (John 2:13, 7:2,10 - though Pentecost isn't mentioned in the Gospels).

Reply from JPN: Hi Leslie! Nice to hear from you again. Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. Great to see that you are still enjoying the messages/studies after many years. Blessings to you and your family as well!

Reply from JPN: Great! Pleased to see it has given you peace and we sometimes need to hold two views seemingly in tension and not go to either extreme if the word has both. And one day, when we are with Him and no longer see through a glass darkly, we will have the perfect mind of Christ and see things clearly!

Reply from JPN: Thanks - not sure about the 'masterpiece' bit but agree that a large part of the church has sadly moved from the 'blessed hope' - which is crazy given the signs around us and the way this world is descending. Glad you have enjoyed the site and appreciate that hope!
