Question: Is there scripture that says that the Kenites were the bookkeepers for Israel.

Answer: There is scripture in the Old Testament book of Chronicles. (I Chronicles 2:55), where it says the families of the scribes were the Kenites who descended from Hammath, the father of the house of Rechab.
 


Question: Does the image of the beast refer to a one world system and what will go on in it?

Answer: And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. (Revelation 13:15). Satan brings to life and gives authority to the religious beast or one world religious/political system. To worship or take part in this one world system would be to die a spiritual death. Satan wants your soul! He wants you to surrender and worship him and he will give you what you want. He tried the same thing with Jesus in (Matthew 4:1-9) when he offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. Who will Satan utilize as the one world religious beast/political system? Many scholars believe he will use the largest and most popular of the Christian organizations, the Papacy. The Catholic church is the largest Christian church, representing over half of all Christians, and is the largest organized body of any world religion. According to the Statistical Yearbook of the Catholic church, the Catholic church's, worldwide recorded membership at the end of 2005 was 1,114,966,000, approximately one-sixth of the worlds population.
 


Question: Can you give me the scripture that said that David was a prophet?

Answer: You can read of him being called a prophet in Acts 2.
 


Question: If you smoke pot are you a sorcerer and condemned to hell? I am not talking about being a drug dealer, but one who occasionally smokes pot such as an occasional beer.

Answer: No... And we are not to judge others with such a statement. If that were the case we would all be going to hell for our little indulgences. God created all herbs, and when used properly can benefit people in many ways. Many people today in the USA use prescribed pot as cancer patients. (It relieves the nausea caused by chemo treatments and increases the patients appetite). It is also legal in many countries to grow and smoke pot. The key here is moderation, and one should not become addicted to anything whether it be pot, cocaine, prescription drugs, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine etc. Drugs should not be used for a spiritual high, we have the Holy Spirit for that. Now lets take a look at the word sorcerer used in the bible. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8) This word sorcerers in the Strong's Concordance Greek Dictionary #5331, #5332, and #5333, is "Pharmakeia" which means medication, pharmacy, druggist, or poisoner. Now we are not necessarily talking about the pharmacist at your local drug store who are legally doing their job to help people. Or are they? But we are talking about drug dealers, king pins, politician and law enforcement officials that turn their heads for a bribe, illegal druggist, and even some doctors who prescribe legal drugs for those who do not need them, but fuel their addiction for prophet and sexual favors. You know who you are! All fueled by the drug companies for big money gains. Look at all the legal recalled drugs that are killing people today. Not counting all the ones that should be recalled but never will because of big money. God calls them the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and liars. And the lake of fire (which is hell) awaits them. Now I know some preachers are going to say it is illegal to smoke pot. Does anyone remember when alcohol was illegal (prohibition of the 20's & 30's), when many of our own parents and grandparents were having a drink at the time. Do you think they are all condemned to hell? I don't think so! Again, the key here is moderation and not to let any indulgence become an addiction or take control of you physically or mentally.
 


Question: Where does it say in the bible that in the end of time that young men's hearts will fail them?

Answer: The verse you are quoting from I believe came from the D&C (Doctrines and Covenants), 45:26-27 used by the Later Day Saints. However, this is a passage from the Olivet Prophecy and you will find what I think you are looking for in Luke 21:26 of the King James Bible. You can also find a similar scripture in the Old Testament, Leviticus 26:36.
 


Question: Most of my friends and family celebrate Easter instead of Passover. When I try to tell them Easter is a Pagan holiday and in the old testament times was a celebration of  fertility gods and sexual orgies, they just ignore me. How can I explain to them that they are doing wrong?

Answer: You don't... You can only spread a truth when someone is looking for a truthful answer. Just spread a seed (truth) once in a while and leave it up to the Heavenly Father to make it take and grow. In the first place, I don't know anyone who celebrates Easter as fertility gods or sexual orgies. They celebrate it for the same reason as one would celebrate Passover; The death and resurrection of Christ. It is the reason behind the celebration, not the name of it. You don't want to make a special day out of the Sabbath, so why dwell on a certain name of a celebration that even children know it is about Christ. Quit making a religion out of a certain church or belief. There is no one church, reverend, priest, rabbi, pastor, minister, evangelist, etc. that has all the answers. If they think they do, then they are setting themselves up to be God. Churches are always trying to set themselves apart from each other with certain beliefs and traditions rather than working together to find the truth in the Word. The true church will be established when Christ returns and the record will be set straight on all matters.
 


Question: Do you have any thoughts on where Jacob's pillow is today?

Answer: Jacob used a stone for a pillow the night he wrestled with God. After God changed his name to Israel, he then used it as a pillar to mark the covenant he made with God. Tradition has it that the Stone was taken to Egypt, and later to the Promised Land when the Israelites came out of Egypt.

Jacob's Pillar Stone was to play a vital roll in the three overturnings of the throne of David.

The Stone remained in Jerusalem until after 586 B.C. when Jerusalem was destroyed, and it was taken by Jeremiah to Ireland with the daughter of Zedekiah. After this time, the Kings of Ireland would be crowned while seated upon the Pillar Stone of Jacob.

When the throne of David was overturned a second time to Scotland, the Stone was taken to Scotland by the first Scottish king, Fergus, in the ninth century, and placed at the ancient capital of Scone (pronounced Skoon). The Scottish kings were also crowned while seated upon it.

The Stone of Jacob was seized by King Edward I in 1296, and has been used in the coronation of every English monarch since. Queen Elizabeth II was crowned while sitting on the Coronation Chair containing the Stone.

Until recently, the Stone of Jacob (Israel) has sat under the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey, in silent testimony to the dual promises made by Almighty God to the descendants of Abraham. After 700 years at Westminster Abbey, the stone was recently returned to Scotland and is on display at Edinburgh Castle. It has remained with the descendants of Israel since the time of Jacob, and the Royal Seed of David have always been crowned upon it.

Question: What scripture is it that says that no weapons will harm God's people if used against them?

Answer: You will find your answer in the book of Isaiah. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. (Isaiah 54:7).

 


Question: Where is the Ark of the Covenant today, and why can't they find it?

Answer: Because the Ark of the Covenant is in Heaven with our heavenly Father. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. The very temple of God in Heaven is opened to us and the Ark of the Covenant could be seen, which is God's contract with us. The thunders, earthquake and hail is when Armageddon is taking place.

 


Question: Are the fallen angels and the one third of the angels that followed Satan in the first earth age the same.

Answer: No... The one third of the angels (souls) that followed Satan in the first earth age will have a chance to be born through women in this earth age. Many of them are born already and are among us today. They will have a chance to follow God or Satan when they appear at the end of this world age. The fallen angels came to earth to seduce the daughters of Adam, not to be born of women. They are a small number in size compared to the one third of the souls. The fallen angels are also held in chains until Satan's return in the near future.

 


Question: Where does it talk about the laws of God in the new testament?

Answer: The Apostle Paul best explains the law of God and sin in Romans 7. Paul kind of sums it up for mans nature concerning the law. He explains that it seems to be a fact of life that when we want to do what is right, we usually do what is wrong and there is a constant battle within us between good and evil. Remember that we are all sinners; thank God we have Jesus Christ, and that through repentance our sins can be forgiven.
