Satan’s Helpers

Published: April 1, 2007
Q

Greetings to you and thank you as always for your wonderful effort toward the Kingdom.

I have read that Satan, unlike God, can’t be in multiple places at the same time. So if I am under attack by spiritual warfare in one part of the world and somewhere else in the world other people are being “attacked”, who/what is doing the attacking. I thought that the angels who fell with him were chained and placed in the underworld. Who then are the demons who are in league with Satan?


The Apocalypse Code

Published: March 29, 2007
Q

I always depend on your answers – I feel I can trust whatever you say. So here goes. What is your opinion of Hank Hanegraffe’s book “The Apocalypse Code”. I have to be careful with my ‘pennies’ and so do not want to purchase another book that is not worthy. I know you know what I mean. I love to study the Bible but I am not sure that I would recognize a dangerously intelligent book. I am listening to Hanegraffe right now and he says that Jesus was not interested in the Holy Land, as we seem to be. I will not go on because I know that you know far more about this than I can relate to you. I am looking forward to your response. Should I buy the book or not? God bless you and your work.


Sister-In-Law Problem

Published: March 27, 2007
Q

My wife’s sister is driving me nuts. She has 5 kids, but cheated on her hubby and now she’s 45 years old and lives in her mom and dad’s basement. She’s unemployed, on food stamps, etc.

Her behavior is consistently erratic, she has an attitude like everyone owes her something, and I’m getting tired of it. She’s got kids that smoke weed and get arrested, etc. Her oldest is around 24 and constantly yells at her and makes her cry. Her family is a complete and utter disaster. Do we keep being nice to her or do we get tough and say enough is enough?


The Timing Of Ezekiel 38-39

Published: March 25, 2007
Q

If we are looking for the Gog and Magog war to take place, when did the 1,000 years expire? (Rev 20:7,8) I thought it was “After the 1,000 years were up.” So what 1,000 years are we talking about?

If strict orthodox Jews don’t believe that Jesus is Messiah, then how have they/do they atone for sin, since no temple is left for sacrifices?

Palestinian Wasteland?

Published: March 15, 2007
Q

I have to tell you that your web site is a blessing to me and I praise God for your honest and balanced teaching.

Somewhere in the past there was a teacher who used a bible passage to demonstrate that the Palestinian State would be created but that it would not last and would be turned into a desolate place, never to be inhabited again.

Can you or do you know where that is? I lost my notes and for the life of me I cannot recall the passage.

I appreciate all of your work and I get a blessing every time I read your material.


Ezekiel 38 Timing

Published: March 15, 2007
Q

The timing in Ezekiel 38-39 has been a key factor for me over many years. It is hard for me to listen to folks saying it is the same as Armageddon. Israel buries folks for 7 mos. & burns fuel for 7 years. This is not during the Tribulation and certainly not in the Millennium which follows. Neither is it after the Millennium. I feel that this happens prior to the Tribulation and could happen before or after any Rapture of the church. What is your take on this?


Re-Starting Israel’s Clock

Published: March 13, 2007
Q

We know that there were declared by Daniels prophecy a term of years before ‘ Messiah will be cut off’ a term that were completed at 483 years, and the clock stopped ticking.

Would I be right in saying, that the clock should start ticking at exactly the same point that it stopped? If so, what is it that kick starts the clock again? Is it the rapture, is it that Israel is forced to sign a (false) peace agreement? or is it the Russian led invasion? Whichever it is do you not think that this will occur when the clock starts ticking again.


The Day Of The Lord

Published: March 13, 2007
Q

Here is a question about the Day of the Lord. For all the cataclysmic imagery of this day starting in a violent way in Bible prophecy, isn’t the real relevance of the Day of the Lord that Christ will reign for one day ( 1000 years ) of peace and restoration on earth ? For the Christian, the Day of the Lord is a good thing, is it not ? The initial judgments and violence are just to wrestle dominion from the powers and principalities who are currently trespassing on Christ’s turf !
