Q. In surfing through Christian web sites, I frequently find references to a huge number of persons being saved daily, especially in the Middle East, Far East, and Africa.  They speak of people converted by visions, dreams, healings, and resurrections.  How much of that is true and how much is wishful thinking; people quoting each other in a circular fashion, supporting and reinforcing each the others’ beliefs?  Is there truly (praise God) such a huge number of conversions numbering, some say, in excess of 100,000 per day?  Isn’t such a statement contrary to what Scripture says will happen in the Last Days?

Q. Thank you for your dedication, insight and guidance for so many of us.  Your web site has truly been a blessing in my life.  I have just been reading about the temples
and I for one have thought that there would be a temple in the tribulation. After reading your answer that is not so.  My question is where does the “abomination of desolations” take place?

Q. I have an old friend who is a total skeptic but this year was in an accident and broke almost every bone in his body. The doctors marvel that he is even alive. I have attributed it to God’s plans for his future.  What can I say to a skeptic who has friends who are believers but still shows no interest? Do you have anything for a real skeptic?

Q. I know the Book of Enoch is not considered divinely inspired but I do think the apocrypha could have some historical significance.  I just recently started reading the book of Enoch and early on when it talks about the fallen angels mating with women and giving birth to the nephilim, it soon after says they began to sin against various animals as well.  When I first read this I immediately thought of dinosaurs. If the fallen angels and humans gave birth to giant offspring could the fallen angels have mated with animals and given birth to dinosaurs and they were then wiped out in the flood as well?

Q. As I read about the end time events, your study of Revelations and other commentaries I have a question concerning the people killed by the plagues and judgments. When the tribulations Saints are referenced it seems to infer that they were killed for their stand for Christ.  Does this mean that none will be harmed by the judgments and wrath to come during the tribulation?  I have read that the Locusts from the pit were not to harm those with the seal of God in their forehead.  Does this indicate all believers at the end times will have that seal and will be spared from death resulting from Gods wrath and judgment upon the earth?  They will only experience death through execution by the Anti-Christ?

Q. In Revelation 7:14 the group of people are said to be those who came out of the “great tribulation” yet the 2nd half of the seven years hasn’t started.  That is the same word Jesus used in Mt. 24:21 in the Greek when referring to the 2nd half of that seven year period.  What do you make of that?

A Thanksgiving Message by Jack Kelley

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. (Psalm 100)

Q. My question concerns our sin nature that you teach ( I believe) we acquired after Adam and Eve sinned. My understanding  is that they were not created with a sin nature but chose to sin anyway. Is the difference between us that they chose to sin and we are unable not to sin? In our resurrected bodies will we still have the choice like them? If this is so how will we resist? They couldn’t. I know you have the answers.

Q. Thank you for your teaching.  I have benefited most from your sharing. May I follow-up on the topic of ‘Hades and Hell’ ?   If there are 2 places within Hades or Sheol where the dead before the Cross went , does it mean that judgment had occured for them,  that some had gone to the Paradise (like Lazarus in Luke 23:43); while others to ‘Torments’?

Q. Thanks so much for your website.  I really enjoy reading it!  In Genesis, there is talk of nephilim as sons of God.  But later, when Moses is wandering in the desert and sends out spies, they encounter nephilim too.  So, are nephilim angels? Are they giants? Cross-bred mutants? Why would God send them down, or “let them come down” and have children with people if the resulting children are cursed and specifically “targeted” by God for destruction?
