Q. I know aborted babies go to heaven and when the Rapture happens those believers who are dead will be called up a second before the believers who are alive and we will get our new bodies and meet Jesus in the clouds. If you are a woman who has had abortions and you have repented for murdering innocent unborn babies, will you get to see those babies in heaven? Read Post »

Q. In a recent question you said that Paradise is part of Hades where those who died in faith went to wait for Jesus to die for them. You said after the Resurrection He took them to Heaven. But in 2 Cor. 12:2 and 4 Paul spoke of going to the 3rd Heaven which he called Paradise, and in Rev. 2:7 it speaks of the tree of life being in the paradise of God. Based on these two verses which are written after the cross and happened after the cross, it appears to me that paradise is not part of Hades. Read Post »

Q. I have been studying a lot of ancient history and have noticed something interesting…there are over 300 flood accounts in the legends and folklore of different cultures. This of course makes sense to me because the Bible tells us of the flood. However, something else seems to be emerging as well. Many of the ancient legends contain a visitation by a being who brings to whichever culture, whether it be Sumerian, Egyptian, Myan, or whomever, advanced technology in many different forms from architecture to agriculture. This being also teaches against human sacrifice, to love one another and treat each other with respect. Depending on the culture, he has been described as a god, or part man part god. Is it possible, this was a good Nephilim? Read Post »

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Q. I have a question concerning the mention of 1290 days and the mention of 1335 days in Daniel chapter 12. Are we talking literal days in the tribulation or is Daniel referring to days meaning years. Between the time of the Muslims not allowing the Jews to sacrifice ( prayer ) at the wall and resuming after the 1967 six day war was approximately 1290 years. If you add 45 days ( years ) to that, one would come up with the year 2012 when the abomination that causes desolation is set up and sacrifice is removed again. Read Post »

Q. My husband and I were in Jerusalem some years ago and visited the Temple Institute. I am confused as to why the Jews stopped sacrificing, (I heard that it had to do with the ribbon on the goats no longer turning white) which is a good explanation. Why then would they be ready to “sacrifice again” by getting ready the temple parts and apparently could start sacrificing in less than a day if needed. Can you explain this? Read Post »

Q. I so love your website. The insight you provide is amazing. My question for you is based on another question you answered recently. You said “The seal of God is the same one mentioned in Rev. 7:3 that will protect the 144,000. There’s no indication as to who else might receive the seal, but my guess is that all believers will have it. The Mark of the Beast does not come along until Rev. 13:16-17.”
My understanding is that believers in OT times did not have the Holy Spirit sealed in them and they could therefore lose their salvation. So too is my understanding that tribulation believers will not be sealed either. In other words both groups could/can lose their salvation. Read Post »

Q. I have a question for you. concerning the war predicted In the Prayer of Psalm 83, and the Ezekiel war of 38-39. There is a split in the Arab world right now, on one side you have Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan. On the other you have Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Algeria and Sudan. The Egypt group is on the same side as Israel, but not in support of Israel, (not openly against Israel) The Iran side is anti Israeli. There is a strong rift between these two groups. Not solely because of Israel but other things as well. Read Post »

Q. I am been doing a lot of thinking in regards to Grace, the Mosaic Law, the feasts and other things the Messianic movement thinks should apply to the Christians and wanted your opinion on my thoughts.
The central passages I am looking at are found in Acts 15. Paul has returned from his trip to the Gentiles and an issue had arisen specifically in regards to circumcision. Peter, Paul, James and those apostles still alive and in Jerusalem held a council and from that came four requirements for Gentile believers: They were to not engage in sexual immorality, not eat meat given to idols or from an animal that was strangled nor were they to eat or drink blood.
