• What are the most exciting and the most monotonous features of your daily occupation?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Learning about new equipment or software applications; feeding page after page through the scanner.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     None, I'm Retired, But I have interests in Music and Arts.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     I do graphics and I find it challenging but when I get something simple to do that is probably for little money and the job not challenging like funeral programmes or wedding programmes I get bored. When I get a new client and my work empresses them that's exciting to me.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Repetative work.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     STUDING GOD'S WORD.
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     Not much exciting.  It's repetitive.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     READING MY DAILY BREAD BOOK.  READING AND STUDYING THE BIBLE.THEN SAYING MY PRAYERS EVERYDAY OR WHEN I NEED TO.
  8. Tamara, November 14, 2001
     I am a customer service specialist for a very large health organization and I speak with over 100 callers a day.  It is most exciting when I can really help a person, especially one who is having problems, and I can make a real difference.  The most monotonous feature is when I have someone who simply doesn't want help but to be unhappy and complain.  They don't want answers, they just want to be rude and gripe no matter what.
  9. Denice, December 6, 2001
     the most exciting for me is watching my children grow and learn and learning Gods word. The most monotonous is cleaning house
  10. Helen, June14, 2002
      I like to have something definite to do --to look forword to and these lessons help there other than that there are three meals a day and maybe going some where.
• Can you recount an experience when you were aware of a supernatural presence around you?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     When my son was guided to my arms while falling off a slide.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     A lot of times I have seen angels dancing on the clouds. I've seen Jesus twice. I've seen good and bad spirits as well as felt their presance.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     Not really.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Yes, one day when Iwas coming from a doctors appointment I was in a cab we stopped to make out a reciept, one minute there was an accident. If we kept going we would have been in that accident.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     YES
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     Not that I recall.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     YES-WHEN I WAS PRAYING ABOUT SOMETHING GOING ON IN MY LIFE THAT I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT OR DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
  8. Tamara, November 14, 2001
     While driving home with a friend, we came upon a very bad accident that had just happened.  I am trained as medic-first aid but had never had a instance to use it in a serious situation.  Without getting upset or panicy, I immediately went into action and some worse things were prevented because of it.  Afterward, I got back in my car and practically went to pieces. I had felt an overwhelming sense of security and encouragement when it was needed.  I know that adrenalin was in effect, but I felt God's leading and assistance in that great time of need.  I know that I was brought there just at that time to do what needed to be done.  It was a situation where God could use me for His glory, and I was helped every step of the way.
  9. Denice, December 6, 2001
     yes, I was awaiting surgery and I was alone.  I looked off to my right and I saw Jesus sitting beside me in a chair next to my bed telling me everything would be alright. 
  10. Helen, June14, 2002
      no
• How many loyal angels does John see around the throne and whom are they exalting and praising?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     100,000,000+ praising Jesus the Lamb.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     Thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand and they are exalting and praising the Lamb or Jesus.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     100,000, worthy is the Lamb.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     NUMBER OF THEM WAS TEN THOUSANDS TIMES TEN THOUSANDS AND THOUSAND OF THOUSANDS
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     Thousands upon thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand.  Jesus.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     TEN THOUSANDS TIMES TEN THOUSANDS,AND THOUSANDS OF THOUSANDS    THE BEASTS AND ELDERS.
  8. Tamara, November 14, 2001
     LOTS - ten thousand times ten thousand is 100,000,000 - that is 100 MILLION, and thousand upon thousand on that too.  That is a LOT of angels! 
  9. Denice, December 6, 2001
     many thousands of angels worshiping Jesus
  10. Helen, June14, 2002
      tens of thousands times tens of thousands They were exalting God.
• What strange tragedy happened when one of the leading angels used his free will to lead a rebellion against Jesus?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     War broke out and he was cast to the earth.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
     But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
     The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     He was hurled to earth with his fallen angels.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     He was cast from heaven.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     HE WAS CAST OUT TO THE EARTH AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     They lost their place in heaven and were hurled to the earth.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     THERE WAS WAR IN HEAVEN:MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT AGAINST THE DRAGON;AND THE DRAGON FOUGHT AND HIS ANGELS PREVAILED NOT;NEITHER WAS THEIR PLACE FOR AND ANYMORE IN HEAVEN.THE GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT,THE OLD SERPENT,CALLED THE DEVIL,AND SATAN,WHICH DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD:HE WAS CAST OUT INTO THE EARTH,AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM.
  8. Tamara, November 14, 2001
     He was removed from Heaven with his angels too (now considered demons)
  9. Denice, December 6, 2001
     there was war in heaven and satan was hurled to the earth with his angels
  10. Helen, June14, 2002
      and   he  became Lucifer
• How does the word 'war' make you feel? Are you surprised that God admits that it happened in heaven?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Wanting to take a stand and fight. No.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     I can't stand it even on this earth, I am surprised that he did let it happen.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     Not really, it was explained to me in sabbath class as a war of words and not one of a physical nature, is that so?
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     No.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     YES, BUT HAPPY THAT JESUS WON
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     have two sons and war scares me.  It doesn't surprise me that God admits what happened.  God is all truth so it would go against God to not admit it.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     JUST A LITTLE SCARED    YES I WAS,BUT GOD DOES NOT LIE TO US ABOUT ANYTHING,HIS WORD HIS TRUE.
  8. Tamara, November 14, 2001
     I don't like war, but I understand that God allowed the rebellion to take place this once to run it's course to show how disobedience in the smallest form leads to greater sin and total distruction, as is being played out in this earth.  After Jesus comes again, and all evil is destroyed we will have the history of it all to remind us that God's way is perfect, and only pain and hurt comes when we doubt God and disobey.  He never forces us to love and follow Him, so of course He would allow this controversary to happen this once, to prove that His way is perfect and any other way leads to death.
  9. Denice, December 6, 2001
     war makes me very uncomfortable and I do not like it at all.  I am not totally surprised that it God admits it happened in heaven because God tells the truth and he used it to show that destruction comes from makeing our own choices apart from God.  Also to show that God is powerful and did win the war against satan and we need him
  10. Helen, June14, 2002
      no    don't like war even hearing about it.
• How meaningful for you is the promise that Satan will one day, 'be no more' and only has a 'short (limited) time.'
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Glad that God has triumphed and that one day soon we'll not even be tempted to sin.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     I have faith that it will take place soon
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     It is good to know that he eventually will be defeated and that he has a short time even though he is in a furious mood like a roaring lion.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     It's scary, but it makes me happy.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     FOR THE DEVIL HAVE COME DOWN TO YOU HAVING GREAT WRATH BECAUSE HE KNOW THAT HE HAS A SHORT TIME
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     I don't know how to answer that because on that same day there will be people who Satan decieved destroyed as well.  I hate Satan but I know some good people who are not saved.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     I WILL BE GLAD THAT HE WILL NOT BE AROUND DECEIVING US.AND I THANK GOD IT IS ONLY A SHORT TIME AWAY THAT IT WILL BE A BLESSING FOR ALL THAT BELIEVE ON OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
  8. Tamara, November 14, 2001
     I am so thankful that someday it will be all over and never happen again.  I like knowing the end of this book! The devil will be put out of his misery and never deceive again.
  9. Denice, December 6, 2001
     Extremely thankful that he will one day be no more because I hate sin
  10. Helen, June14, 2002
      HE doesn't bother me but we would be better off without him.
• Should it give you encouragement to realize that there are twice as many loyal as disloyal angels? Why?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     They have faced the choice and have seen that god's way is the best.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     Yes! they can over power satans angels.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     Yes, because it gives you a sense of security in the numbers.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Yes, we know we have protection over evil.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     YES FOR IT PROVE TO ME THAT THERE ARE MORE LOYAL TO GOD THEN SATAN
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     Yes.  It makes me hopeful that more people will be loyal than disloyal.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     YES-BECAUSE THE LOYAL ANGELS WILL WATCH OVER US AND PROTECT US FROM THE DISLOYAL ANGELS.
  8. Tamara, November 14, 2001
     Even though I know that as long as I am on God's side, God is always the most powerful.  It is still nice to know there are more for us than against us, that is when we are on the correct side.
  9. Denice, December 6, 2001
     yes- because we can be protected by loyal angels and the less evil angels around the better 
  10. Helen, June14, 2002
      that's good the good angels are for us.
• How does Jesus share with the loyal angels the joy of your acceptance of His salvation?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     They all rejoice when we repent.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
     I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
     In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     Rejoicing with them in the presence of God
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     They are rejoicing.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     THERE IS JOY IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS.
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     In Luke Jesus rejoices with the angels and in Revelation He confesses our names before God the Father.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     JOY SHALL BE IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH,MORE THEN OVER NINETY AND NINE JUST PERSONS,WHICH NEED TOO REPENTANCE.JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.HE THAT OVERCOMETH,THE SAME SHALL BE CLOTHED IN RAIMENT;AND I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE,BUT I WILL CONFESS HIS NAME BEFORE MY FATHER,AND BEFORE HIS ANGELS.
  8. Tamara, November 14, 2001
     They rejoice over each person who repents and follows Christ.
  9. Denice, December 6, 2001
     there is rejoicing in heaven in the presence of the angels over one sinner repenting
  10. Helen, June14, 2002
      loyal
• Very often angels are used in Revelation to represent great messages God has to communicate through His people on earth. As this symbolism is used, with what type of voice do the angels speak, and what would this signify to you?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Loud voices, a calling for the undivided attention of it's hearers.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.
     And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down."
     Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.
     I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.
     Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth--to every nation, tribe, language and people.
     He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water."
     A second angel followed and said, "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries."
     A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand,
     he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
     And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
     This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.
     After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
     With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil [1] spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     Like a roaring lion or like seven thunders.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Strong voice.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     THAT THE ANGELS WARNED US WHAT NOT TO DO AND WHAT TO DO
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     A loud, great, mighty voice to me would be a wake up call.  Urgency and importance.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     THE FINAL SURGE OF THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL THAT THE ANGEL IS REAL SPEAKING THE TRUTH TO YOU.
  8. Denice, December 6, 2001
     loud shout like the roar of a lion- a loud voice-a mighty voice.  It would be so loud everyone will hear it so they can pay attention
  9. Helen, June14, 2002
     soft sometimes loud.   I haven't heard one.
• Would you be more impressed by God's message of salvation and truth if it were spoken to you be a real angel or a fellow human? Why?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     I suppose the humans message would be more observable on a day to day basis.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     As long as its done in Love, It would not matter.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     Real angel, they are more obedient to his will than human being.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Both, angels are messengers,man can be God's messengers also.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     NOT REALLY, FOR GOD'S WORD USED MANY WAYS TO REVEAL HIS WILL TO US
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     Of course.  We know people are liars and decietful so we have to check everything we hear against the bible.  An angel would be cool!
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     I WOULD BE MORE IMPRESSED BY GODS MESSAGE OF SALVATION AND TRUTH SPOKEN TO ME BY A REAL ANGEL.BECAUSE GOD WOULD NOT SEND AN ANGEL OR HIMSELF AND LIE TO ME ABOUT MY SALVATION WITH GOD.
  8. Denice, December 6, 2001
     I am impressed by Gods message of salvation and truth already by reading the bible but if it were spoken to me by a real angel I would maybe be even more impressed  because I would know that God sent that angel directly to me
  9. Helen, June14, 2002
     yes  because i know them.
• If you were an angel what pain and what pleasure would you feel in these two scenes?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Hurt that the messages I had carried went unheeded by so many. Glad that the end of this trial was here.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     "Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth."
     who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     The pain to see those who didn't accept the salvation plan and the pleasure to see those who did.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Pain.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     THE PAIN OF WHAT THEY DID TO JESUS AND THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING THAT JESUS DID IT FOR US
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     I would feel sorrow for the lost who would recieve the plagues, but gladness for those who were led to Christ.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     THE WRATH OF GOD UPON THE EARTH WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY PLEASURE THAT HE WILL SHOW THE BRIDE,THE LAMBS WIFE WOULD BE THE PLEASURE WE WOULD LIKE TO FEEL.
  8. Denice, December 6, 2001
     it would be painful to have to see those that were not going to be saved and pleasurable to see those that were saved 
  9. Helen, June14, 2002
     I wouldn't want to give pain but pleasure would be nice.
• Would you like to be one of the 12 angels in Revelation 21:12? Why?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     No, Ps. 84:10 For a day in Your courts better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     No! I would not be able to poor out wrath
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     If chosen I would be honoured but I'm not sure I would choose to if not asked not that there is anything degrading with that position.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Yes, because they are guardung Satan and his angels.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     TO HAVE THE NAME OF ISRAEL WRITTEN ON ME
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     No, it would sadden me to keep the unsaved out.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     YES-BECAUSE I WANT TO BE IN HEAVEN WITH MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST WHOM I LOVE AND TRUST WITH MY WHOLE HEART.
  8. Denice, December 6, 2001
     yes- because it would be exciting to see those that were saved and were about to enter into a new life
  9. Helen, June14, 2002
     yes and see he new jerusalem that would be wondeful.
• Can you imagine what it will be like to join the angels as they sing around the throne?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Barely; thrilling!
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     Yes I would.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     I had tried to imagine it but I find I am limited by my human mind, but I know it will be glorious and wonderful.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Yes.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     YES
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     Cool!
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     IT WOULD BE A BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO REJOICE AND SING AROUND THE THRONE WITH JESUS AND HIS ANGELS.
  8. Denice, December 6, 2001
     it will be awesome!
  9. Helen, June14, 2002
     No I hardly can imagine it it would be exciting and wonderful to sing with them.
• How could you in the next 24 hours help another person to bring joy to the angels in heaven?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Uphold Christ and His values so that they might see and acknowledge His work in my life and desire what they observe for themselves.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     Bring Him to Jesus
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     By getting them to truly accept the salvation plan that jesus died to effect.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Talk to them about salvation.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     BY LEADING SOME TO THE SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     By planting seeds where ever I go.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     BY TELLING THEM ABOUT HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES THEM AND WANTS THEM TO BE HIS CHILDREN AND THAT HE LOVES THEM VERY MUCH.TO REPENT AND GET SAVED THEN BAPTIZED AND OBEY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GODS LAW...AND JESUS WILL WELCOME YOU INTO HIS ARMS.
  8. Denice, December 6, 2001
     help them to repent and accept Jesus and their Lord and savior
  9. Helen, June14, 2002
     just by saving someone for Jesus and God.  I'll can try.
• How will your actions and faith be different if you are aware that guardian angels are constantly with you?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     I try to not make their jobs more difficult.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     Peaceful.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     Not be so depressed sometimes when things don't go right as I know they are there sharing my pain and feel confident to do positive things as I know that they are recording everything I do.
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Yes.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     TO WHAT WHAT I SAY AND DO
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     I would feel brave and carefree.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     THAT THEY ARE HERE TO HELP ME WALK IN MY CHRISTIAN LIFE AND NOT TO BACKSLIDE.
  8. Denice, December 6, 2001
     you would be more concious of your actions and would always be careful to watch what you did so you would always glorify God with your words and actions
  9. Helen, June14, 2002
     I would be protected all the time.
• If an evil angel counterfeited the return of Jesus or impersonated a dead friend or relative how could you discern the deception?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Through recalled knowledge of scripture I have studied and believe.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     By the fruits it brings forth and Gods Spirit and word.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
     If he doesn't preach the death burial and ressurection of Jesus Christ for sinners he is not true and if the return is not as it is in the bible (not a secret).
  4. Donna, September 12, 2000
     Go to the scriptures and pray.
  5. Roger, February 26, 2001
     BY APPLYING THE WORD OF GOD
  6. Sherril, August 4, 2001
     By knowing scripture I would know that the dead cannot comunicate, and exactly how Jesus will return.
  7. Linda, October 10, 2001
     BY NOT BELIEVING THE ANGEL AND GOING TO JESUS IN PRAYER AND TALKING TO HIM BECAUSE HE DOES NOT LIE TO US.
  8. Denice, December 6, 2001
     by prayer and reading of the scriptures
  9. Helen, June14, 2002
     I  don't   know
• The loyal angels obey God's will and Word. How can you have strength to follow their example?
  1. David, September 23, 1999
     Ask for God (Father and Son) to send the Holy Spirit as a comforter to me.
  2. ELVIS, Friday, October 1, 1999
     Read Gods words in the bible pray everyday and try to be obediant to his word.
  3. Dwight, July 6, 2000
