In my Scripture studies I found many questions. The following questions are some of them. I think they will engage your heart, mind and soul too if you seek the light of the unchanging truth of Scripture which demands that you read it from God's perspective not ours. This survey is borrowed from a powerful teaching of 119 Ministries that says:
"Perhaps the best way to answer a Biblical question is to let Scripture speak for itself. The less commentary the better. The following study simply asks questions and allows scripture to establish the answer."

I want to thank 119 Ministries for these probing questions and Scripture references. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you visit their website and view the truth declared in their teachings. It will open your eyes and you will know why they always say "Test Everything"!
In conclusion, I want to thank Blue Letter Bible for their awesome technology that allows us to better understand God's word by looking at the original language. We can see a lot when we break the language barrier!
What does this all mean?
It's time for you to repent and return to God's voice, return to hear and do His word and walk in the faith of His Kingdom path so that you can ready your lamp for your coming assignment.
It means we need to know "Who is the One Called Jesus.
Consider a prayer: Please, God guide me by your Spirit as to what I should hear and do.
It's time to repent and return to God's voice, return to hear and do His words and walk in the faith of His Kingdom path so that you can ready your lamp for your assignment.
Stretch out your hand, and take from the tree of life, and live forever.
Open a Bible, read it, listen to God's voice and do Yeshua's teaching about the forever jots and tittles.
You can learn how the things which are written in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Psalms are concerning Messiah and you can teach others to live life like Jesus, it's love in God's way:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:16-17
Today is the time, open your eyes if you're dead in your own valley of dry bones.
Look up and you'll recognize Messiah from Abraham's promise passed on to Isaac and Jacob as written by Moses in the Torah. You can see Him too in the Prophets and the Writings.
Repent and walk your Emmaus Road with Messiah. Study the Scriptures He taught every Sabbath that are filled with doing life God's way in the Kingdom, and tell others about Him. Be a gatekeeper until the house is complete.
