Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 01:28 Could you look at Daniel 5:25-26 in relation to the doubling principal? Could the two banquets of wine in the book of Esther also apply to this passage?
- 06:50 I was just curious as to whether or not you have had any feedback or comments from Family Radio or Mr. Camping on this study of Esther?
- 08:19 In Deuteronomy 31:14-30, God says that He will hide is face because His anger shall be kindled against us in that day. Could this be why God is not mentioned in the book of Esther since we are now in judgment?
- 16:39 March 8th will be a full moon. Astronomically, a full moon normally will last two to three days. So it may very well be that we will have a full moon on all three days of Purim. I just thought that this was interesting.
- 18:09 In relation to Haman’s face being covered, could you please look at Psalm 44:15 and Psalm 69:7?
- 20:50 Could you compare Luke 18:7-8 with Exodus 32:19-21 in relation to Moses’ return and the return of the Lord?
- 30:22 Is it possible that the first banquet of wine in Esther was at sundown, which would make it the 17th day of the 2nd month?
- 35:04 In Revelation 20:14 and 21:8, we know that the “fire and brimstone” and the “lake of fire” are spiritual, correct? Would this not make the second death spiritual?
- 38:05 In Esther 9:13, was it a wicked thing for Esther to ask the king to kill Haman’s ten sons?
- 43:28 I was looking at Haman and how they covered his face. Since they covered his face and hanged him on the same day, does this point to a double penalty for Haman’s sins?
- 45:35 I do not know if this means anything, but the word “posts” in Esther is used four times, which can relate to universality. Could you look at Jeremiah 51:31, because this also uses the same word? How do Haman and the king of Babylon relate since these are both end-time prophecies?
- 51:17 As a true believer, I feel that life in general has been different for me after May 21. One thing is that I do not feel like I am acting in a godly manner as much as I did before May 21 when I was involved with telling people about the truths of the Bible and passing out tracts. Do you agree that life for the true believers has been different after May 21 and October 21?
- 58:10 Do all of God’s people know that March will be the end?

Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 00:08 There are a couple of things that I wanted to contribute to your study. You mentioned how the king went out to the garden and you introduced the idea that he might have gone out there to fetch the guards. I thought that this was a little far-fetched until I looked at Esther 5:12. I realized that there was nobody in the room except for Esther herself.
- 00:56 (Continued from previous question): The other thing you mentioned was about Haman’s face being covered. There are a lot of verses, but the one that works best is Acts 20:38 where we will see that “face” is linked to the Word. When Haman’s face was covered, this was a picture of the idea that Satan’s gospel is not going out anymore. His words are shut off and closed off. This goes along with the judgment.
- 01:43 (Continued from previous question): When you mention judgment, you are always mentioning judgment in the sense that it is only for the guilty; but when a judge issues a judgment, it is either for the innocent or for the guilty. In that sense, it is for both. The innocent are judged as innocent and the guilty are judged as guilty. So on Judgment Day, it was a simultaneous event for both the saved and the unsaved. They were all judged either innocent or guilty.
- 02:55 As Guy spoke earlier about David, we know that he was a type of Christ. How are we to see David in his sins and God telling him that the sword shall never leave his house? Is this possibly a picture of David as Christ taking our sins?
- 03:48 Concerning what was said about Haman’s face being covered, I would have gone to Esther 6:12. What about the shame?
- 04:48 (Continued from previous question): As far as Haman’s face being covered representing Satan’s gospel not going out anymore, I do not think so. I think that perhaps Satan’s gospel is still going out.
- 06:23 You said earlier that on May 21 Satan was still doing dirty deeds in trying to deceive or to cause the fall of even one believer before they entered into the safety of the ark. How could Satan discern a true believer from someone who was not a true believer; because on that day among the true believers, there were also non-believers?
- 08:09 (Comment made concerning previous question): God also declared that He would get them all. He would not leave one behind. This is another important point. All Satan ever had to try to get was one.
- 09:11 Could you read Luke 17:26-30? In Genesis 9 and Genesis 19, both Noah and Lot drank too much. This is after the judgment has occurred. Have you studied this or do you know how this relates?
- 16:28 Will Purim likely start at sundown?
- 18:21 It says in Genesis 9:25, “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants.” This reminds me of Jesus being the servant of servants. Canaan is an offspring of Noah. Could this also be pointing to Jesus?
- 20:24 Several weeks ago someone asked about blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The Greek verb used in Mark 3:28 is blasphemeo, which means to speak evil of or to speak irreverently of. So was Jesus Christ not saying that we are not to speak evil of the Holy Spirit or else we are in danger of eternal damnation? Let us guard our tongue in case we are wrong in condemning all churches. If the church is evil, the Lord will deal with it in His time.
- 29:54 (Comment made concerning previous question): One doctrine that has come out of the corporate church that I believe is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the idea that Christ does not know the day or the hour. This came right out of the churches. The reason why this is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is because if you say this then you are saying that Christ is not indwelt by the Holy Spirit; because all throughout the Bible, it says that the Holy Spirit knows all things.

Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 05:09 Have you looked at the math equation of May 14, 1948 to March 9, 2012? This is 23,310 days and it breaks down into 2x3x3x5x7x37 or 5x7x666.
- 07:00 I would like to look at Song of Solomon 4:12-16 and 6:2. Can these verses be tied in with Esther 7:7-8?
- 17:56 Could we look at Matthew 26:40 and Mark 14:37? God says in the latter half of Matthew 26:40, “What, could ye not watch with me one hour?” But God says in the latter half of Mark 14:37, “Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?” One seems to be plural and the other seems to be singular. Also, in both of these verses, God uses the phrase “watch one hour.” Could you explain this?
- 24:07 Have you gone back through the timeline again to see whether or not everything added up and that May 21st was the Day of Judgment?
- 32:38 Could you look at Judges 5:24-27? There are many interesting events that take place surrounding the death of Sisera. There is also a very curious statement in Judges 5:27 in regards to his fall. Could some of this language relate to the information we have about Satan losing his authority on May 21?
- 37:31 Could you please give me some insight on Deuteronomy 33:2 when it mentions “ten thousands of saints”? Historically or spiritually, what is this talking about?
- 44:14 In Revelation 18:8,10,17 and 19, we see God using the parabolic phrases of “one day” one time and “one hour” three times. Does the phrase “one hour” point to judgment being completed?
- 49:37 In Ezekiel 37:22, what are the two nations that are divided and made into?

Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 03:03 Could you look at Deuteronomy 21:17 and Revelation 1:5? In relation to the doubling of judgment on the unsaved, will the double portion have any reflection on the 200 million in Revelation 9 causing that number to double and/or how did God circumvent the law in Deuteronomy 21:17 when it came to the blessings that Jacob and Ephraim had received?
- 08:38 It says in Esther 1:8 that the drinking was “according to the law.” What does this mean? I thought that we were not supposed to drink wine.
- 18:55 There seems to be a contradiction between Esther 2:12 and 2:16 in relation to the 12 months and the 10 months. The maids were to go into the king after a 12-month purification process, but Esther was taken in at the tenth month. Can you explain this?
- 24:00 Can you explain why you are not figuring in the Biblical calendar of 30-day months for the five-month period between May 21 and October 21 and instead are saying that it was a period of 147 days?
- 32:15 (Continued from previous question): Just so I’m clear on this, is each Hebrew year not a year of 30-day months?
- 33:44 Will we begin to see a manifestation of the salvation of the elect that took place prior to May 21 of 2011 in great multitudes in the next 30 days?
- 37:00 With all of the symbolism in the book of Esther, can you talk about the symbolism of the feasts?
- 39:45 We are all looking forward to the feast of Purim; however, recently someone said that this feast had an element of Satan in it. The thinking was that this was because Haman, who represents Satan, is the one who threw the lot in order to find out what day he would destroy the Jews.
- 44:37 Does 1 Kings 8:65-66 relate to Esther 9:17-19?
- 47:45 In Esther 8:9, what does the third month and the 23rd day of the month mean?
- 53:17 In Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29, God talks about the month Tishri and there are three things that take place during that month. The first day is the blowing of trumpets. Then the 10th day is the Day of Atonement. That is two days. If you add these two days to the 7 days and the 7 days, which is 14 days, and then the 8th day is when they are sent away, which gets us to 15 days, this equals 17 days total. Does this relate to the 17-year latter rain, the last part of the great tribulation?
- 57:43 (Continued from previous question): In 1 Kings 8:64, do you know the meaning of the brazen altar being too small and them sacrificing in the middle court?
- 59:46 In Genesis 8:6 when Noah opened the window of the ark after 40 days, this 40 days, if I am correct, is when the rain stopped and it is 40 days after the 2nd month and the 17th day of the month after he entered in. Can you speak on this?

Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 00:39 In relation to the apocalypse and the four horsemen in the book of Revelation, there is one riding on a white horse, there is one on a red horse, etc. Can you tell me the meaning of these different horses?
- 08:45 In relation to what you had said earlier in that the Lord has a purpose for allowing a question to be asked, this reminded me of Matthew 24:3. Do you think that God had a purpose for allowing them to ask this question?
- 11:41 (Continued from previous question): Could it also be possible that God gave the Mayans a clue to the end of the world? He also made the Mayans.
- 15:29 In seems like we have three dates for the end. We know in the book of Judges that Samson typifies Christ. Was Samson’s marriage consummated and do his marriages have any relation to these three dates?
- 16:23 (Continued from previous question): The riddles were set up by Samson and I do not think that giving the riddles were a sin. Even when they tried to guess his strength, it took them four tries.
- 19:00 Can you explain Esther 6:13 and does this have anything to do with Haman falling upon the bed whereon Esther was?
- 22:25 In 1 Corinthians 3:13-15, how do we know that “the day” is referring to Judgment Day?
- 26:24 As the king’s commandment could not be overturned in Esther 8 and a new one had to be given, does this relate to Hebrews 8:7 where a new covenant was made and the old was done away with?
- 33:00 In Luke 17:26, God says, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Why did God say “in the days of the Son of man”?
- 36:06 (Continued from previous question): The task of bringing the Gospel by God’s people came to an end, right?
- 38:06 In Jeremiah 7:16, 11:14, and 14:11, we have three different verses but they all say the same thing. God told Jeremiah three different times not to pray for Israel as a congregation. But in Jeremiah 26:3, God told Jeremiah to go back and to warn the people again. Why was that? Does this mean that God's people should go back to church?
- 42:03 Regarding the question of the days of Christ, I do not know the spiritual understanding, but it is just like Noah’s day was tied to Noah’s age and our day is tied to Christ.
- 42:23 In Genesis 19:9 where it says “this one fellow,” are they talking about Lot? Does this compare to 2 Peter where the Bible says that Lot was vexed? Are they saying that Lot was the judge or are they saying this of the two who came into Lot’s house?
- 44:00 (Continued from previous question): Does this spiritually compare to the world saying that we were judging them prior to May 21 as we talked of the coming judgment? Are they saying that Lot was judging them for the things that they were doing?

Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 01:32 Using the Gregorian calendar, 147 days is seen twice to equal 294 days. Using the calendar of Noah’s day, 147 is seen once, going from the 17th day of the 7th month to Adar 14. So we see a total of three times that 147 is used. 3x147 = 441. When we add 146 days, 147 days, and 148 days, which we get from Adar 13th, 14th, and 15th, all going from the 17th day of the 7th month using Noah’s calendar, we also get 441 days. I am wondering if by doing this whether or not God is making a connection between the two calendars.
- 14:39 Is it significant that the 147 days ends up on March 9th?
- 20:53 From everything I have read, it was the 15th day of May in our calendar that the warning went out to Noah. I wanted to point out that from the 15th of May to March 9th is 299 days. This breaks down to 13x23.
- 22:06 Some of my friends believe and trust in Jesus Christ and try to follow His commands in Scripture. What if their doctrine is not completely accurate and leads them to conduct their lives in a way that is not quite in line with Scripture? Do you think that they are saved? Should I tell them about Purim and how that might be the end of the world? What if someone occasionally attends a church but is not a member?
- 26:47 The billboard in Philadelphia was supposed to go up on 2/7, next week, but I was told today that it is actually up now.
- 28:22 God said in Genesis 1:26-27, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,” and then He goes on to say, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.” Do we know what part of us is made in the image of God? If we do, did this change when we fell into sin?
- 33:00 Can you please explain Esther 7:7-8? Also, why did the king go into the palace garden? Is there a spiritual meaning to this?
- 37:31 Within what part of the timeline does Luke 10:18 and Isaiah 14:12-15 fall?
- 43:35 Where do you think evil ultimately comes from?

- Summary addressing the setting of end-time dates, confirmation of May 21, 2011 as judgment day, correction that the five months of judgment is based on the Hebrew calendar and not the Gregorian one, that the five months of judgment is doubled for 10 months, two major tie-ins from May 21, 2011 to the feast of Purim, the concept of God doubling His judgment is reviewed, Also, various questions and answers from the Bible.
Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 25:39 Do you feel or think that the judgments/wrath or rapture will happen to everyone at the same time or will it be like in Esther where it happens to some of the provinces before it begins and ends in Shushan? Is there evidence or additional information in Esther or anywhere else in the Bible that would illustrate how this might all happen throughout the world?
- 27:50 Could we look at Isaiah 4:4 in relation to the phrase “purged…by the spirit of burning”? This made me think of the verses that tell us that God will destroy the world with fire and burning. I am starting to wonder now if the world is not going to be destroyed in a physical way because of these phrases “the spirit of judgment” and “the spirit of burning.”
- 40:39 You mentioned on Sunday with regards to what happened on the 17th day of the 7th month that this was spiritual in nature. Could this spiritual event that took place on the 17th day of the 7th month be a doubling of the 147 days? If this was not it, what was the spiritual event that took place on October 15th of 2011?
- 47:49 You did say that Purim will be experienced differently by different people in different sections. Is there some way to prepare for Purim in how we should be thinking about this; for example, should we be thinking of the rest for God’s people or should we be thinking of the fulfillment of our inheritance?
- 50:00 In Revelation 14, God thrusts His sickle into the earth twice, once in verse 16 (without much explanation) and again a final time in verse 19. Is this a good picture of doubling the judgment spiritually?
- 53:40 Before May 21, we had the infallible proof of 722,500 days. If I remember correctly, it was noted that the factors were doubled and were shortly going to come to pass. Is it possible that this same principle in Genesis applies to the doubling of judgment?
- 57:53 I looked at a couple of spreadsheets that someone else did and I noticed that the 147 days lined up perfectly with our Gregorian calendar. On someone else’s spreadsheet, I noticed that none of it seemed to line up, but I believed that they used the Julian calendar to line up the first day of Nissan. If we are saying that March 7-9th is supposed to line up with the feast of Purim, which is the 12-15th, what calendar are we using at this point? If you look at the Hebrew calendar, it seems that nothing really lines up very well. How do you explain this?
- 1:02:26 (Continued from previous question): Are we completely throwing out October 21st as a date and instead using October 15th as the date? If I am understanding this correctly, October 21st was not a date for us and that it was just something that was only five months in our calendar with our understanding of the 153 days.

Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 03:40 On Sunday, you talked about how the three woes were what we had understood before and that they were all tied into May 21, but you did not mention the third woe in Revelation 11. I am assuming that the third woe is also connected with the 7th angel sounding and that he sounds with a trumpet.
- 18:35 Did Revelation 11:15 take place on May 21, 2011? Could you also look at 1 Corinthians 15:52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16? Some people get the last trump confused with the 7th trumpet, but they cannot possibly be the same thing. Correct?
- 23:12 Would you please explain the 294 days, the double five-month period or ten months? Should ten months not equal 300 days since there were 30 days in each month?
- 34:00 Could we look at Daniel 7:11? We refer to the body of Christ or the body of believers. Is Satan’s body of unbelievers who are judged mentioned in the Bible?
- 36:45 When Jesus cried out on the last day of the feast, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink,” is there a possibility that October 15th might have been a possibility for a last-minute salvation since we read in Esther that many feared Mordecai and turned to the Jews in repentance, so-to-speak?
- 45:12 Can you take a look at 1 Thessalonians 5:3 again where it says that “sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child.” Do the 40 weeks (or the approximate 10 months of pregnancy) enter into the picture now that we know that there is a total of 10 months?
- 50:12 Do you have any understanding on Job 31:33 and could you compare that with 1 Timothy 2:14?
- 55:04 From the definition of the word “church” that you gave two Sundays ago during the evening question and answer session, there are three practices that distinguish between churches and Biblical fellowships. One: churches have leaders but fellowships do not. Two: most churches use the grammatical/historical method of determining Scripture, but fellowships read Scripture spiritually. Three: churches do not believe the timeline that Mr. Camping pieced together but fellowships do. Is this correct?

- 01:15 Could you read Esther 9:13? In relation to the phrase “let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow,” could this be another example of God using the doubling principle?
- 09:43 The other day, you spoke of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. You said that the church blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Can you tell me how the church did this and when it did this?
- 20:10 In relation to Isaiah 46:3, this verse seems to imply that when God saves a person that God is saving a baby from the womb. Does this mean that all of His elect were saved at the time that they were conceived in the womb?
- 31:36 I would like to know about Elisabeth being pregnant and hiding for five months. Was this five months referring to May 21 through October 21? Is it possible that the children conceived after the door was shut became saved?
- 41:05 Would you be kind enough to go over for us and for anyone who might be new here tonight where we are with the spiritual chronology in Esther and also with what we learned on Sunday and how October 21 was an incorrect assumption?
- 48:22 (Continued from previous question): Will this be within the 7,000th year from the flood?
- 54:01 In light of what we are now learning from the book of Esther regarding the Feast of Purim being at the end of the Biblical year, could the phrase “in the end of the year” found in Exodus 23:16 be related to the Feast of Purim?
- 57:22 When the literal end of the world comes, could Harold Camping’s thinking be right that God will be merciful to the unsaved and perhaps cause a deep sleep to fall upon them?

Haman was afraid before the queen and the king, and so I was wondering how this all fits in. And do you have any thoughts on the king going out to the palace garden and then coming back in from the garden?
- 11:32 For your information, the number of days between when Haman was hung and Purim is 301 days if we assume that he was hung in 391 B.C.
- 13:15 I do know that the purpose of spreading the message of Purim is to relieve the elect with this message and that it is not unto salvation for the non-elect. But how are we to bring up the possibility that March 7th through the 9th is the end of the world and to whom do we declare this?
- 16:17 The phrase “he stayed” in Genesis 8:10-12 in the Hebrew means “to wait longingly with anguish or travail.” Do you see any meaning to this in connection with our time?
- 17:52 A couple of weeks ago, you mentioned how the Feast of Ingathering was likely fulfilled during the latter rain and that, possibly, the Feast of Tabernacles was fulfilled along with that. Are you still holding to this or do you think that these feasts might have had some fulfillment on October 15th?
- 21:00 Can you explain the parable in 2 Kings 6:1-9 please?
- 23:53 It seems that the Biblical number is 150 days and not 147 days if we are counting from the 17th day of the 2nd month until the 17th day of the 7th month. Could you elaborate on this please?
- 28:54 Along those same lines, is it necessarily so that Genesis 7:3 chronologically happened before Genesis 7:4?
- 31:22 Could you please read Esther 9:21, 27-28? The two days are kept in memorial out of the three days. Is this a type or figure of Heaven where it is eternal as a memorial and that would kind of point to March 7th as being the day when the Lord returns?
- 35:14 In John 21:11 and in Genesis 8:3-4, God specifically writes of 153 fishes being dragged to shore and of 150 days. God is very specific with His Bible verses and what He puts in the Bible. Where do we find your 147 days in the Bible?
- 44:35 (Continued from previous question): How does the date of October 15 relate to your Feast of Tabernacles?
- 46:17 Could we compare Revelation 18:6 with Jeremiah 17:18? Does Jeremiah 17:18 support the information of God’s purpose to double the portion of His wrath in the Day of Judgment?
- 50:48 In Matthew 17:3-9, Mark 9:1-9, and Luke 9:28-32, what is the understanding here of what God is teaching us in relation to the apostles being “heavy with sleep” but then “when they were awake, they saw his glory”? Could Moses and Elijah also have been representing God Himself since we know that Moses refers to the Law and Elijah refers to the prophets?
- 54:13 Since God is no longer saving and Family Radio says that God still is, should I remove my Family Radio bumper stickers from my vehicles?

- Summary of the morning message, Esther, Part 13 explaining the doubling of God's five months of judgment on the Kingdom of Satan starting on May 21, 2011 to the last day of the feast of Purim in Adar 15. Also, various questions and answers from the Bible.
Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 00:00 Chris provides a recap of the Hebrew calendar through Adar 15, which is March 9th of our calendar.
- 04:50 The Lord locks in all of these different time paths to May 21. Do you have any time paths that lock in Purim from May 21?
- 07:01 (Continued from previous question): Is there any spiritual meaning in the number of days from May 21 to Purim?
- 07:48 Can you explain how this understanding of October 21 affects the “woes” in Revelation 9 and so forth?
- 10:40 Regarding Matthew 24:43, is Christ’s coming likened unto several watches that we must watch for, like the scenario of the boy who cried wolf or like a pregnancy that has a few false labors before the child finally comes?
- 14:10 Is 1 Samuel 25:8 a tie-in with Esther 8:17?
- 17:55 Can you look at Mark 3:29-30 in relation to the definition of blaspheming the Holy Ghost?
- 19:07 (Continued from previous question): Mark 3:29 says “hath never forgiveness,” but then it follows with “is in danger.” Can you explain that?
- 26:19 (Continued from previous question): What is blaspheming the Son? Is it like someone saying, “Jesus was crazy” or “Jesus was just a man” or “Jesus was blasphemous”?
- 27:43 (Continued from previous question): After some Jewish people became believers of the Messiah, they felt guilty that they might have blasphemed the Holy Ghost, and yet they never said that Jesus was of the devil.
- 29:17 In Luke 17:26,28, the Lord Jesus tied the event of Noah’s day and Lot’s day to the end of the world. Noah knew exactly the date that the flood would come. Abraham also knew the day that God would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Would you explain the related verses of Amos 3:7, 1 Thessalonians 5:4, and Revelation 3:3?
- 38:29 Does Hosea 6:2 relate to the three-day Feast of Purim?
- 39:14 In Esther 6:4-5, Haman is in the outer court and is allowed to come into the king’s house. You explained this in your last study, but can you go over this again?
- 42:43 Moses raised a serpent on a pole and declared that all who would look on it would be saved from death. Is there a similarity between this and Esther where those who came into the inner court without being called would be put to death unless the king had held out the golden scepter?

Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 01:53 What can individuals do to get the message out about Purim? Should we send money to eBible Fellowship to help with billboards? On a personal note, it would be hard to share this with my family because I would be a laughingstock to them.
- 05:20 I had two bumper stickers made up. One says, “Thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot at the end of the days (Daniel 12:13).” The other one states, “Feast of Purim – March 7-9, 2012” and then I highlighted the book of Esther.
- 10:00 What is to be understood spiritually from Genesis 19:18-20 and Genesis 19:30 in relation to Lot fearing for his life to flee to the mountains as God had commanded him and had instead wanted to flee to Zoar; but then in Genesis 19:30, Lot was afraid to be in Zoar and fled from there to live in the mountains? Incidentally, he did not ask God if he might go to the mountains; he just went. Can you comment on this?
- 19:30 Earlier today, someone asked a question about having a question mark at the end of the new date for the end of the world. Can you elaborate on this again?
- 24:39 When Purim begins on March 7th, what are we to expect? Will this be a similar scenario to what we thought was going to happen on May 21st where there will be a rolling earthquake with a lot of physical damage occurring and so forth? Can we expect to be raptured at some point during those three days of Purim?
- 31:08 Does the time that Noah went into the ark and God shut the door until the moment that he exited the ark have any relevance to where we are right now?
- 33:11 Can you please check Luke 12:37-39 and offer an explanation of these verses?
- 38:43 In Deuteronomy 29:23-28 you mentioned during your study this morning regarding the captivity from Babylon, do these verses imply that we are to still try to spread the Gospel to the unsaved at this time?
- 43:25 Do you have any additional insights regarding the two banquets of wine that were in Esther 5 and 7?
- 47:20 In response to one of my questions last week, you said that we are not the ones judging the people in the churches but God is. To be clear, could you define for me what you mean when you use the word “church”?
- 54:21 Have you had time to look at Zechariah 11:8-13 and prayerfully been given a possible explanation for these verses?
- 56:05 What does the “third loft” spiritually represent in Acts 20:9 where we read of a young man who had been asleep on the third loft and fell off?
- 57:15 Can you read Joshua 8:28-29? When we harmonize all of the information on Satan losing his authority on May 21 and the end of the world, could these verses also relate?

Question Summary with Starting Times in Audio File
- 00:24 I want to stay faithful to my husband, but I am attracted to someone else. Can you think of some passages besides Genesis 2:24 that would help me control my thoughts and stay faithful?
- 05:45 Can you compare Psalm 137:8-9 with Purim for the believers?
- 19:54 Can you please check James 1:12-14, particularly verse 13? Is it always Satan who tests people? Does God ever test people?
- 21:55 Please read Mark 3:28-29. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit delivers a horrible fate. Given our utter disappointments on May 21st and October 21st, maybe we need to be careful about what we say against all churches in case it is our method of interpreting Scripture that is at fault. What do you think?
- 26:16 Learning with Brother Camping through the Word of God, I remember that he said that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is narrowly defined. Could it be that every sin grieves the Holy Spirit? Can you explain the narrow definition that Mr. Camping brought out?
- 27:17 Can you read Amos 8:10-11? Is this referring to there being no more Gospel going out?
- 28:50 Can you look at Isaiah 15:2-3?
- 29:19 Can you look at Jeremiah 48:37?
- 30:00 Could you look at Genesis 6:16 in relation to the word “window” that is also translated as “noon day”?
- 31:00 I am not able to understand the reasoning or purpose to publicly announce to the unsaved world the end of the world (March 2012) a second time.
- 36:46 A question was raised about the question mark on the new date for the end of the world. Can you comment?
