The Day of the Lord
- Was the "Day of the Lord" something that the Israelites considered a "promise" or a "threat?"
- When will people know which side they are on? Why will some people not know if they are on the right side or not.
- How much of the second coming or third coming of Christ did Old Testament prophets know?
Daniel and the Second Coming of Jesus
- Why was an image of a person in various metals an appropriate way for God to convey the successive kingdoms to come? What did the beasts, that represented these same kingdoms, add to the prophecy?
- Why was the dream given to Nebuchadnezzar rather than to some earlier or later king?
- What about other kingdoms outside the empires of Babylon, Greece, and Rome? How are they affected by this prophecy?
Long-Term Prospects
- What is the benefit for me if a prophecy is going to take place hundreds or thousands of years after I die?
- Did Nebuchadnezzar's dream benefit him in any way?
- Is Jesus's coming really imminent or could it be hundreds of years away?
In the Clouds of Heaven
- How do we know that Jesus will return literally?
- How do we know which images of the second advent are symbolic? Will Jesus return with a sickle, and will the angels blow real trumpets?
- Why is the second coming associated with clouds? Why does it seem that most Adventist prayers end with "the clouds of heaven?"
The Living and the Dead
- Did Jesus plan the death and resurrection of His friend Lazarus?
- Why are some wicked, those who participated in the crucifixion, raised before the other wicked dead?
- What is so wonderful about the righteous being changed in "the twinkling of an eye?"
