Q. You wrote last week: “The armies of Heaven will be with Him (Rev. 19:14), as will the Church (Rev. 17:14).” So we will return to earth after the tribulation. But your position is that we will not remain on earth for the 1000 yrs?

Q. How can the church reign with Christ in the New Jerusalem when He is on the throne ruling in the Earthly Temple during the Millennium?
Posted October 29th, 2009 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. In one of your answers, I believe it was “Children in the Kingdom”, you mentioned that we’ll be reigning with Jesus in New Jerusalem. Now, my question is this:
How can we reign with Him?

Q. I had written to you earlier this year about problems we were having in our church. Well things finally came to a head and with great pain in my heart, and after much prayer and consideration, I and several others left that church, including the associate pastor. We are now in the process of planting a new church and I would like your opinion on such a plant. Of course here in America you must be a corporation and have 501(c)(3) paperwork and join up with the Baptist Convention and all that good stuff. But my question is, “why?”

Q. Why did the apostles choose to suffer a martyrs death? If Christ died once and for all for our sins, and bore all the suffering of mankind, why did they feel the need to be martyred? They were the closest to Christ, so shouldn’t they have best understood Christ’s message of “it is finished”? I don’t understand why they didn’t preach in hiding like what takes place in Muslim and communist countries today. It sounds like they believed in redemptive suffering- a Catholic concept.

Q. Again, thanks for so much wonderful help in understanding the Scriptures. I still don’t have a grasp on this yet. When did the church actually start? Was it when Jesus breathed on the disciples in John 20:22? Or was it at the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2? Weren’t the disciples born again in John 20:22, therefore starting the church, or is that a wrong assumption? We know that Pentecost is a celebration of the first fruits, and that those saved on the Day of Pentecost were the first fruits of the harvest, so does John 20:22 not qualify as the first fruits of the church?

Q. Thank you so much for your web ministry. Your insights are so articulate and thoughtful, I cannot tell you the number of times that you put so succinctly what I have been feeling/thinking especially in terms of praying for this nation. I have a question regarding end time harvest. I feel an urgency to share the gospel, yet I find mostly hard hearts and itching ears for a completely different gospel. My question is, will there be a great end time harvest as I have always been taught or is Luke 18:8 a more accurate description of the time we are in (which I believe to be the end time)? I appreciate your input.

Q. We go to a Southern Baptist church and it is a Bible believing church. But they will not preach or have Bible study on Prophecy. They say it is too controversial. We don’t understand, its part of the Bible. Is this part of the ‘falling away’ that we hear about? We are very interested in prophecy and feel like we are missing out on 1/3 of the bible by this stance.

Q. You may have a unique perspective on this due to your missionary work in another country yet you receive questions and comments from all over America. Your willingness to speak the truth and gift of discernment may help also.

Q. I want to thank you for your articles and commentaries. They have been very encouraging and uplifting, as are those of many other expositors. I enjoy yours very much as they most often deal with prophecy and the end times. It is something I have had much interest in since I became a Christian in 1972. Please keep up the good work.
I would like to say that occasionaly I find a doctrine that seems to not be in keeping with Scripture. And one of those being the concept that God is waiting to bring in that last slated believer to complete the right number before He takes the church off this earth.
