Since Jesus is to reign until all enemies are put under His feet, and the last enemy to be destroyed is death (`1 Cor. 15:25,26`) would it not prove that Satan and his hosts would be destroyed before death is destroyed, and that both would be destroyed during the reign of Jesus?

The Apostle's argument is so clear and convincing in this `fifteenth chapter of First Corinthians` relative to the reign of our Lord Jesus and the object or purpose to be accomplished by that reign, that there is but one answer to the question and [...]

What becomes of the soul at death? Is it put into the grave with the body, or does it fly away in a disembodied state, and go soaring around through space, waiting and longing for the time to come when it can get back into its body (put on its clothes again, so to speak) at the resurrection?

There is much confusion of thought regarding this matter. Many are disposed to express the matter wrongly by saying that they have a soul in place of saying that they are a soul. There is considerable difference in having a cow and being a [...]

Please explain Isaiah 9:6 where Jesus is referred to as being the "everlasting father" and "mighty God." Doesn't this support the idea of the Trinity?

Isaiah 9:6: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son, is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." Regarding the possible confusion [...]

Where can angels be found and do we each have a guardian angel to protects us?

The word “angel” means messenger or ambassador. In the past, angels had been sent to earth by God to execute His commands and make His purposes known to men. You can read about some examples in the Old Testament where angels appeared to Abraham, Hagar, Jacob, Moses, [...]

It is claimed by scientists that the motion of the earth upon its axis has not varied a second for thousands of years. In view of this, how shall we account for the statement of Joshua 10:13, "The sun and moon stood still and the sun hasted not to go down about a whole day"?

A critical examination of this passage in the Hebrew language in which the Old Testament was written discloses the fact that Joshua never requested the Lord to cause the sun and moon to stand still. His request was that the sunlight and the moonlight [...]

What is meant by these words, “The Spirit and the Bride say come?”

The Spirit clearly refers to Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom. His Bride is to be the Church glorified. (See `Rev. 21:9`; `Rev.19:7-9`.) The marriage, or union, referred to in the last Scripture, takes place at the second coming of Christ (`John 14:3`). The reign of [...]

What is meant by the Scriptures which declare that in the last days there would be a fearful time of trouble (Daniel 12:1; Matthew 24:21,22)? Do these scriptures refer to the industrial and social crisis that is now developing throughout the world?

There have been many seasons of severe trouble and destruction in man's history. For example, there was the destruction of the city of Jerusalem, when about a million and a quarter of Jews were slain. In the French Revolution, vast numbers were slaughtered by the mobs [...]

Are animals part of the plan of God?

Because Jesus paid the ransom price by sacrificing his perfect sinless life for Adam and all his progeny, the entire human race has been redeemed and will have a chance for life either in heaven or on earth in the future. “For as in [...]

Are there not remains of buried cities in Egypt containing evidence, pictorial drawings, hieroglyphics, etc., which antiquarians are in general agreed evidence a civilized, prosperous, and opulent people living about 7,000 years before the Christian era?

It is passing strange that antiquarians which acknowledging the skill, ingenuity and wisdom of the ancients, evidencing a degree of civilization far in advance of any other prior to that of the present day, persist in calling the earlier peoples of the earth, "barbarous" [...]

What is a spirit being?

According to the Scriptures, it is a being living in a spirit or heavenly realm. In comparison, man lives in the physical, earthly universe. Apparently, there are different types of spirit beings, as the Bible mentions angels, cherubim, seraphim and others.The Divine nature, the [...]

Of what practical advantage is a knowledge of the truth of the character of God and plan of salvation, to one in time of trouble, disappointment, sorrow, etc.?

The knowledge of God, the Creator, that He is wise and just, loving and all powerful, and that He is our loving Heavenly Father, one that we can draw nigh unto with confidence and trust in every time of need, through the merits of [...]

Will it be a one-world government composed of united European nations ruled by the Antichrist prior to the return of Christ? Would the rapture of all Christians be at that time?

We are not of the opinion that there will be one-world government ruled by the antichrist, prior to the great time of trouble spoken of in Daniel 12:1.The term “antichrist” is mentioned in 1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3 and 2 John 7. But some [...]

What is life?

To live is to possess sentient being; to be capable of consciousness, joy or sorrow, pleasure or pain. Life, in its highest sense, is known as immortality. Immortality signifies inherent life, a life not sustained by outside supplies, conditions or influence, but life possessed [...]

What is conscience?

Man when created was endowed with the moral faculties; that is, the faculties with which to determine between the right and the wrong. The faculties were perfect in the first man formed by the Creator. The Divine Law was written in the very nature [...]

Can you explain the words of the Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 7:14): "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the (believing) wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the (believing) husband; else were your children unclean (sinners under condemnation, unjustified, unrelated to God, aliens from His care and blessing) but now are they holy"?

The disobedience and alienation of Adam and Eve from the Heavenly Father brought alienation to all their offspring. Whereas, the reconciliation of the Lord's people through the merits of the great atonement brings them back to harmony with God. Their children as well are [...]

What is the meaning of the expression found in Daniel 12:7–"Time, times and a half?" How long was a "time?"

A year, or "time," according to the Jewish calendar was a year of twelve lunar months of thirty days each, or 360 days. In the symbolic prophecies of the Scriptures, a day stood for a year. (See Ezekiel 4:1-8; Numbers 14:33,34.) A "time" therefore, of three hundred and [...]

I have noticed that people who try to live right and be Christians have more “bad luck” than those who are selfish and wicked. Does the Bible give any reason for this?

Yes, the Bible does give the reason. On the principle that a skiff rowed against the stream is twice as likely to be bumped into by logs and debris as if it were floating down stream, even so, the man who strives against selfishness [...]

What proof have we that the ages of the antediluvians were stated in years and not in lunar months, as taught by some scientists?

Many have endeavored to account for the remarkable longevity of the antediluvians, some of whom lived to the ripe old age of 800 and 900 years. Regarding Methuselah, the oldest man mentioned in the Bible being an elderly gentleman of 969 years of age, [...]

Where does the Bible say Jesus was 40 days old when he was presented in consecration to the heavenly Father by his parents? Is this the basis for the custom observed by some in presenting their children to the Lord?

As narrated in Luke 2:21-23, the mother of Jesus, in conformity with the Law given to the Israelites by God through Moses, presented him in consecration to the heavenly Father. (See Exodus 13:12,15) This presentation could not take place until the time of the [...]

Can the dead talk to the living?

The Scriptures unmistakably teach that the dead are unconscious in the tomb and will not be awakened until the resurrection morning. The Bible explains about fallen angels - demons - who left their former habitation in heaven, and went contrary to the Divine will, [...]
