Reply from JPN: Very true! That is our hope

Reply from JPN: Thanks! No need to feel guilty... the reason you haven't found how to donate is because you can't find what isn't there! We don't want anyone's money but really pleased that you have enjoyed the studies and appreciate you taking the time to let us know. May God bless your little group!

Reply from JPN: Thanks! Yeah trying to put a bit of effort into the Revelation study!

Reply from JPN: Great to hear! Thanks.

Reply from JPN: Hi, yes this is based on Ex 12:2. Even today the Jews have both a religious and civil calendar. Their 'New Year' is Tishri 1, the 7th month. John Gill writes on Ex 12:2: "it shall be the first month of the year to you; which before was the seventh; while the Israelites were in Egypt they observed the same beginning of the year and course of months as the Egyptians, as Josephus intimates; and with the Egyptians, the month Thot was the first month, which answered to Tisri with the Jews, and both to our September, or a part of it, so that the beginning of the year was then in the autumnal equinox, at which season it is thought the world was created; but now to the Israelites it was changed unto the vernal equinox, for this month of Abib or Nisan answers to part of our March and part of April; though indeed both beginnings of the year were observed by them, the one on ecclesiastic, the other on civil accounts; or, as Josephus expresses it, the month of Nisan was the beginning with respect to things divine, but in buying and selling, and such like things, the ancient order was observed."

Reply from JPN: Hi, while Bible teachers may have a theory on what day of the year the rapture might occur, the fact is that none know for sure... and that is how God has designed it. In contrast, the day of the 2nd coming can be calculated once the antichrist has been revealed. On 'saints', this is not a term unique to Church age believers. It is used of believers in the Old Testament, the Church, and again after the Church has been removed.

Reply from JPN: Thanks!

Reply from JPN: Hi, you aren't being ignorant concerning John 3:13 - it is a valid question on a tricky verse that people have given various explanations for. See https://www.gotquestions.org/John-3-13.html. On John the Baptist, his role was the to prepare the way for Jesus and his baptism was for Israel's repentance looking forward to the coming Messiah and Messianic Kingdom. There was obviously a cross-over period where his ministry decreased and Jesus' increased. As John said 'He must increase, but I must decrease.' (John 3:30). Christian baptism is in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and is an outward symbol of an inward spiritual reality - that the believer has been baptized into Christ and is associated forever in His death and resurrection.

Reply from JPN: Yeah, very true. 2 Cor 1:3-4

Reply from JPN: Thanks, glad you liked it.

Reply from JPN: Amen. He is Lord! I'm pleased that you benefited from the study.

Reply from JPN: Hi, the heaven test shows whether we can get to heaven by our own good works. On that we all fail. But it also shows that salvation is available by God's grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus on the cross for us all. Like the thief on the cross, place your hope and faith in the Lord Jesus and receive His free offer of salvation. I will email you.

Reply from JPN: Great and thanks for letting us know.

Reply from JPN: Nice - Yeah sounds like you aren't alone... Might be a few others out there somewhere as well! Congrats on writing the book. I'll look it up

Reply from JPN: You're welcome and thanks for the note. Always nice to see the studies being used in other group settings so may God bless your meetings around His word!

Reply from JPN: Thanks Ruth. Yes many are looking and longing for the day that the Lord puts all things right. And He will! God bless you.

Reply from JPN: Great. Yeah we all have to remember the Lord and bring Him into the situation. Thanks for your great testimony!

Reply from JPN: Thank you. God is ever faithful to His children. A good reminder indeed!

Reply from JPN: Nice! Yeah it is an incredible poem written by a man who had an incredible testimony himself, having experienced the work of the Holy Spirit in chasing down those He is after! Glad you liked the study and hope you got some sleep afterwards!
