I am convinced in my own mind that the rapture will come before the Great Tribulation, and that Matt. 24-25 is about Israel and the 2nd Coming. I don’t understand why do some people say Matt. 24-25 is about the rapture?

I understand that children before the age of accountability are saved (based on Romans 7:9.) Are they indwelt with the Holy Spirit at that time?

My question is this. During Jesus’ Millennial Reign on earth, will there still be sin and if so how will that sin be handled by Jesus at that time? Also, since Jesus will be ruling, will people still have to accept His gift of salvation to be forgiven?

The other day, the question regarding our being sinners came up. I’ve heard so much about our being sinners saved by grace, but not much clarification on the subject. Are we saints, sinners, or saints who sin? or what?

Regarding your answer in self defense vs civil disobedience. You asked if people were really prepared to stand alone against an armed military force and refuse to turn over their hunting rifle. If the answer to your question was yes and people would choose to make a stand against a tyrannical government (as I am sure many people will do) the original question remains. Is it self defense? I don’t own a gun but I know many Christians who are gun owners.

I was reading an article by someone that said the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse would appear simultaneously, and not one after the other. That’s not how I read the sixth chapter of Revelation. Would you share your thoughts on this please?

I have a question about the sealing of the 144000. We know from Revelation 7 that the 144000 will be sealed as servants of God. We also know that Gentile believers will also be sealed because of the locusts in the fifth trumpet seal only being able to harm unbelievers. My question is, do you think this seal on the forehead will be visible, and if so will the 144000 seal be different from the seal of Gentiles because they are chosen to be servants of God?

I read that you believe it’s okay to use guns for self-defense and I would agree. Is it self defense if we are use a gun to keep either local authorities or some branch of the military being used domestically to confiscate our guns if these authorities are acting upon an order from the government? It seems like this is coming soon. If the rapture hasn’t occurred before this happens, are we to view the powers that be as being sanctioned by God and that we should do as they say even though we know they have very evil intentions with all this? Should we go as sheep and turn everything over to them and then get in the trucks or buses as ordered to take us to their camps as was done to the Jews?

It is believed that on Christ’s return with His angels at the second coming, He will judge all nations (The sheep and goat judgement – Matthew 25:31-46) after which the 1000 year reign begins. Satan is said to be captured through this period but must be released after The Millennium to once again deceive many. Who are those to be deceived by Satan after the Millennium?

I know the Bible says that unfaithfulness is the only reason for divorce. The couple are Christians, but her husband is verbally abusive to his wife. Very mean. I told her to get out and now he is filing for divorce. I can’t believe that God would want her to stay with this man. Does she have to stay married to him and if she gets divorced, never marry again?
