By email: BibleQA@3abn.org By text: (618) 228-3975 QUESTIONS COVERED: 1. If the Scriptures forbid the wearing of jewelry, why does Ezekiel 16:11–12 use imagery of bracelets, a chain, a nose jewel, and earrings to describe God adorning His people? Couldn’t this passage be used to justify wearing jewelry today? Does Ezekiel 16:11–12 justify wearing jewelry? 2. What does it mean to reign as priests with Jesus during the 1,000 years? The Bible says we will be judging, but what does it mean to be priests for Him? 3. What happened when Jesus breathed on the disciples and told them to receive the Holy Spirit, giving them the authority to forgive sins or withhold forgiveness? How is this giving of the Holy Spirit different from what was promised in Acts 1:4–5, and what occurred later in Acts 2:1–4? 4. What happened after the Wilderness Sanctuary was moved? Was the Most Holy reconsecrated with sacrificial blood, or was the Ark simply placed and built around? 5. Is there any connection between the seven churches and the seven days of creation? 6. When was the book of Revelation written? Was it written before or after 70 AD? I always believed that it was written on the island of Patmos when John was old and exiled. 7. After God created the earth and declared it very good, He told Adam and Eve to ‘be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it.’ After the Fall, they were banished from the Garden. If the whole earth was perfect, where did the area outside the Garden come from? Was the earth created with two parts—the perfect Garden and a less-perfect outside? How long did the Garden exist after their banishment, and what happened to it? Could Adam and Eve go outside the Garden before the Fall?” If God made the earth perfect, what lay beyond the Garden of Eden? 8. Can someone go straight to Hell before the end-times judgment? 9. Can you clarify the use of wine and strong drink in the Bible? Some say Jesus drank wine (or beer), and others refer to Deuteronomy 14:26—how should we understand this? 10. I keep noticing the number 11 everywhere—on clocks, TV, and more. What biblical significance might this have, or why might I be seeing it so often? Does the number 11 have biblical meaning? ➡️SUBSCRIBE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Subscribe 💗DONATE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Donate 📗FREE MONTHLY MAGAZINE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Magazine 🔗FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/3abn.org/ 🔗INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/3abn_official/ 🔗TWITTER https://twitter.com/3abn 🔗WEBSITE https://3abn.org/ Help 3ABN keep streaming the gospel to the world.
