Q

I have been following and loving your website for a long time and I truly agree with what you are saying about the topic of eternal security. Once saved, always saved or “OSAS”. Today I came across an article that shook my belief in OSAS somewhat. I am wondering what you think about this?


Seven Years Of Peace?

Published: January 3, 2013
Q

I am confused on a few things. This 7 yrs of peace that they talk about Israel having. Is this Biblical and if so where do we find it? Will it happen before or after the church is raptured?

B. The Bible does not mention a seven year period of peace for Israel or anyone else in the end times. At the beginning of Daniel’s 70th Week (the last 7 years before the 2nd Coming) there appears to be a brief time of peace because that’s the means by which the anti-Christ will reveal himself (Daniel 8:25).

This is also foretold in the Book of Revelation as first seal judgment (Rev. 6:1-2) called the white horse. But according to 1 Thes. 5:3 when people are saying, “peace and safety” destruction will come on them suddenly and they will not escape. This is the 2nd seal referred to as the red horse who takes peace from the world (Rev. 6:3-4). They are part of the Seal judgments that take place just after the beginning of the 70th Week. The Trumpet judgments follow after that.

From then on life will get steadily more difficult because the Great Tribulation, the last half of the 70th Week will come next. Jesus called this the worst time of judgment in the history of the world (Matt. 24:21). All these things will happen after the


Still More On Millennial Sacrifices

Q

I was looking at your site and you say that the millennial sacrifices are for remembrance. What scripture supports that? Every one I found says they are to make atonement for sin. Please explain this.


How Much Time Is Involved in Daniel 12:11-12

Published: January 2, 2013
Q

Re. Daniel 12:11-12. Clearly there is a 3 and a half year gap between the ending of sacrifice and the erecting of the abomination of desolation. So there is this one who makes desolate for 1290 days then sets up the abomination. What do you think?


Millennial Believers

Published: December 31, 2012
Q

You have written that some of the Jews who are saved [during the Tribulation] will survive to populate Israel in the Millennium, and some believing Gentiles will survive to populate the Nations. Will the survivors in both groups be mortal but free from disease, accidents, and a sin-nature because of the lifting of the curse from the earth? Will the Church interact with earth dwellers during the Millennium?


Rebellion At The End Of The Millennium

Published: December 31, 2012
Q

You have taught that, as time passes during the Millennium, mortal man will will become increasingly evil, and sin will become widespread again. Therefore, when Satan is released he will have no problem gathering an army to go to war again against God. Does Scripture say that sin and rebellion will occur only in the Nations, but the Kingdom will be singularly free of it? Does it mean that Israel, alone on earth, will be free of the rebellion that will characterize the rest of the earth as the Millennium draws to a close? If Yes, is that a result of our Lord’s personal, hands-on, Rod of Iron rule of Israel?


No More Time?

Q

Re: Revelation 10:5-6. “The Angel standing one foot on the Earth and one foot on the Sea raises his hands to God and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer.” I know that Revelation is not in chronological order but it leaves me thinking. How will the End Time events occur if time itself is no longer?


The Millennial Temple

Published: December 29, 2012
Q

I understand that the Jews will set up the temple during the 70th Week and resume animal sacrifices again. What happens after the tribulation and the millennial reign of Christ starts. Will they then worship Christ like the gentiles and will the temple still be used?


The Time After The Rapture

Published: December 29, 2012
Q

After the bride is caught up to meet Jesus in the air, wouldn’t there have to be some space of time for the ten kingdoms to appear with ten kings. The Bible says they must exist for a while then the 11th king, the little horn of Daniel, aka the anti-Christ will arise. Your insight on this would be deeply appreciated.


Where Are The Spirits Of The Newtown Children?

Published: December 28, 2012
Q

What’s the proper response to people who when talking about the children who died in Newtown say in reverent tones, “They are all little angels in Heaven”? Do all children under a certain age automatically go to Heaven? We also talked about aborted babies and babies in the Rapture. I didn’t have sufficient answer and was hoping you would help me with this.
