Thanks Rick for this opportunity -

What is your knowledge of Ezekiel Chapters 40-48 concerning the temple there? Some Jewish brethren say it is the millennial temple, and I tend to think so too, but then who is the prince described in Ezekiel 44:3 allowed into the shut gate? It certainly wouldn't be Jesus because He rules from heaven, and besides He would not be sacrificing; it is finished.

One believed it is King David according to Ezekiel 34:23,24. "I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them -- My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken."

I have doubt to that because we read in Ezekiel 45:17 concerning the prince: "And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the Sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel." In other words, was this prince (King David) a priest that could offer sacrifice? No!

Thanks -

Hello Larry,

Ezekiel 40-48 is a prophecy of the age to come. I believe the prince will indeed be David. All those who are resurrected will be priests and rulers in the government of Christ (Revelation 20:6). David will be qualified to operate as a priest.

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

In your opinion who or what is His angel in Revelation 1:1? I do have my own idea on this, but am interested in yours.

btw: I could not find your thread of "First Resurrection" or "Pre-wrath."

(The what) I believe the angel is an angel. (The who) To my knowledge it cannot be proven which angel it is but most likely it was one of the archangels.

The First Resurrection essay is in the debate forum at the bottom of the second page.

Who do you say that sits upon the throne set in heaven in Revelation 4:2?

Who do you say the twenty-four elders are that are around the throne in Revelation 4:4.

Who so you say the four beasts are in the midst of the throne in Revelation 4:6?

Thank you -

Hello Rick

What is the difference between us and an Angel in Heaven? as it is written we will be like Angels in Heaven.








God bless

Much difference. I think our experience makes us quite different from angels who do not experience the problems that we do. When the Bible says that we will be like them I believe it is telling us that we will have the same kind of body that they do.

But my thought is that even in erternity we will still see things from a different point of view based on our experience of having been flesh.

Some say we are spiritual beings and some say we are living souls, please inlighten me with scripture.

When God made Adam the Bible says that man became a living soul. And in my opinion the verse is telling us that Adam was the first man who had a soul. The word soul appears many times in scripture in reference to what Paul called your inner man or your spirit man.

Being a spiritual being, in other words a body of flesh that has a spirit and being a living soul is the same thing.

There are views out there that claim there is a difference between your spirit and your soul. Such doctrines are doctrines of men. Bibically and in the dictionary, soul and spirit are two words that refer to the same thing.

I wouldn`t know where to begin in listing scriptures. The words soul and spirit are both in the Bible numerous times so it would be a huge list.
