I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love. (Hosea 11:4)

Revelation 21:1 – Does the earth last forever (Psalm 78:69), or is it destroyed (2 Peter 3:10)?
Does the earth last forever, or is it destroyed? Psalm 78:69 says, “And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has founded forever.” But 2 Peter 3:10 says, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.” So which one is correct? Does the earth last forever, or is it destroyed? The answer is simple. They are both correct.

Your Invisible Eye
Did you know that you have three eyes? In fact, someday your third eye may provide spare parts that might be necessary to repair the two eyes you normally think about.

Revelation 21 – Will the Earth pass away or not?
The Earth and sky have been around since before even man (Genesis 1:1). Generations do come and go, but with respect to them, the Earth does indeed remain “forever”. This is a poetic and metaphorical expression, not to be taken absolutely literally. Matthew 5:18 simply emphasizes how binding God’s law and commands are in that they are even more standing than the sky and Earth, and the same is true of Matthew 24:35, and Revelation 21:1 talks about the new after God’s final victory over evil through the Second Coming of Christ.

Evolutionary Man-Ape Myths
HAECKEL’S DUMB APEMAN
Ernst Haeckel, inventor of the iconic evolutionary embryo chart, was also the inventor of the dumb cave-dwelling ape-man, and it was based on nothing more scientific than his own fertile imagination. Haeckel’s Embryo Chart was a lie which was exposed in his own day, though it has continued to be used widely as evidence for evolution.

Revelation 17:10 – Who are the seven kings? Roman Emperors or World Empires?
Most commentators identify these seven kings with Roman Emperors. However, Osborne writes that this “is incredibly difficult.” Consider the list of Roman Emperors below:

Later
… later … (Hebrews 12:11)
How happy are tested Christians, later. There is no deeper calm than that which follows the storm. Who has not rejoiced in clear shinings after rain?

Revelation 16:21 – How could hailstones be this big?
Problem: Revelation states, “And huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, came down from heaven upon men” (Rev. 16:21). Preterist interpreter Kenneth Gentry writes, “It is quite impossible that such gargantuan hailstones can be accounted for under the most aggravated of meteorological conditions.” Gentry is right. In July 23, 2010, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) wrote about the largest hailstone ever found:

A Trail That Tells a Tale
Two rocks float through silent space, unaware that they will soon cause a scientific debate millions of miles away on earth. On earth these two small asteroids added together may weigh only a few hundred pounds. The conclusions that can be drawn from them, however, might be weighty enough to overthrow a powerful theory.

Revelation 10:2 – Will There Be Time in Eternity
Problem: In Revelation 10:6 we read “that there should be time no longer.” In the hymn, When the Roll is
Called Up Yonder the lyrics are as follows: “When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time
shall be no more.” Often we hear Bible teachers say that when we enter eternity there will be
no more time. Yet is this what the Bible says?

No, God Does Not Need You
There is a kind of swagger in modern evangelicalism that I’ve grown to despise. It’s the swagger of people who speak as if God is pacing the floors of heaven wringing His hands, desperately hoping somebody down here with a fog machine, a sermon series logo, and a half-baked marketing strategy can finally help Him “reach this generation.”’

Revelation 8:10 – Is this star simply an angel?
Problem: While dispensational commentators often believe that these “stars” are actual physical objects—perhaps missiles or meteorites or something else falling from the sky to poison the waters (v.11), other commentators hold that these are simply angels. In Revelation 9:1, we read that the “star” from heaven is actually an angel.

Strength in Surrender
From films to social media to sports, our culture often celebrates pride over humility, sarcasm over vulnerability, and self-reliance over a genuine awareness of our need for God. Yet Scripture turns that narrative upside down. The Bible reveals a God who longs to pour His strength into our lives—but that can only happen when we recognize our weakness and acknowledge our emptiness apart from Him. As Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3).

Revelation 7:5-8 – What were the 12 Tribes of Israel?
Problem: We have 14 names of tribes of Israel in the Bible: Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Dan, Levi, Joseph, Manasseh, Ephraim, Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, Zebulun, Judah, and Benjamin. The Books of Moses clearly tell us that the Tribe of Joseph = Manasseh and Ephraim (Joseph’s two sons), who are called half-tribes for this reason, but both receive land (whereas Levi doesn’t, inheriting cities throughout Israel, to serve as priests, being dedicated to God).
