1) Was the first set of 10 Commandments made of sapphire stone and taken under God’s feet? Therefore blue? Exodus 24:9-12 2) If it was made out of sapphire how could the tablet break (Sapphire is the worlds 2nd strongest gem)? And would sapphire under God’s own feet break so easily? Could the Lord have broke it instead of the fall against a rock or the mountain? Exodus 32:19 3) Are the 2nd set of Commandments made out of sapphire like the first set? Or possibly just a blue stone? It doesn’t seem possible for Moses to carve sapphire so would have to be a normal stone. Exodus 34:4

Why do some still correlate the ‘great city’ of Revelation 11:8 with France, when if we are Christians who really use the Bible to interpret itself, the context lends itself to be interpreted as Babylon? Every other mention of the ‘great city’ in Revelation (14:8; 16:19; 17:18; 18:10) refers to Babylon. Additionally, Daniel 4:28-30 also mentions Babylon as the ‘great city.’ I can see why there has been a decision to think of it as France due to atheism/unbelief (Egypt; Exodus 5:2) & lawlessness (Sodom; Genesis 19); however, this argument falls flat in the face of greater Scriptural scrutiny. Jerusalem is mentioned as Sodom (& Gomorrah, for that matter; Isaiah 1) & Egypt (Jeremiah 9) because of their apostasy/rebellion: wickedness, idolatry (vain offerings, evil assemblies, appointed feasts), fornication, thefts, & injustice (oppression, & murder); their hearts were uncircumcised like their neighbors, including Egypt. These are all crimes attributed to Babylon throughout Revelation as well, not necessarily France as they never fell into apostasy, they were already infidels. How do we differentiate between Sister White’s Spiritual revelations from details she pulled from the other 'church fathers’ when their prophetic interpretations were not always correct?

Hello, I'm Emmanuel from Ghana. I really enjoy your program. May the Lord God bless you all for being a vessel for Him. My question is that, was Jesus treated like any other kid in Nazareth ie, maybe having some fun, getting into some trouble, parents training and advising him on what to and what not to do?
