Q. I wanted to comment on your article about Mr. Obama possibly being the anti Christ. I agree with your article except I want to point out one thing that Christians seem to do that is so wrong and unscriptural.
My husband and I came out of 10 years of Jehovah’s witnesses and I am very leary of anyone setting dates. I can’t count how may times I have read articles that mention certain dates as “the one” and those dates have come and gone and we are still here and all we have done is to make people not want to believe anything we have to say.

Q. I have noticed that in strong Bible Believing, evangelical Churches, who believe in pre-tribulation rapture, that they mention the trials Christians are having, the signs we see of hard times, they encourage a close relationship with our Lord Jesus, to walk moment by moment, trusting only in Him, to study the Word, even separating from the world view and encouraging an eternal view, But, they never mention the rapture and rarely the end times.

Q. I’m sure you’ve been asked this question before and I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but I’m wondering what do you think happens with unborn babies at the time of the rapture if their mother is not a believer? Obviously if the pregnant mother is a believer she will be taken in the rapture anyway. My understanding is that all children under the age of accountability will be taken in the rapture regardless of their parent’s beliefs…is that correct? Read Post »

Q. I really enjoy the articles and information on this site. I thank God for your wisdom. This site is truly a blessing.
My sister is a believer but is also gay. She has stated to me many times in the past that she has conviction daily. This was in the past. Now a few years later she doesn’t show any remorse or conviction at all. I have 2 young children who love their aunt dearly. Before she (my sister) would never do anything that was in anyway offensive to me or to the girls. Lately, especially after the election, she has been more boisterous about her lifestyle and more distasteful in her language.
She knows my feelings on this but has no regard for anyone. I have disassociated myself from her because I don’t know what to do. I believe we are in the end times and there is such an urgency for all people to get right with God. I love her and will continue to pray for her but am I to not be around her?
Will she be raptured even though not right with God? What, if anything, can I do? I have prayed endlessly about this and know what Jesus would do (love them anyway and forgive them) but every time I start to call or send an email it just doesn’t seem to be right. So I tell myself that God is working on her, on me and all will be well. Thank you for your response in advance. Read Post »

Q. I just want to thank you and thank the Lord for blessing you with all the devotion you put into studying and teaching his word.
I have listened to all your messages and read your articles on the rapture. The Holy Spirit has lead you to doing a great job of studying the scriptures and coming up with your reasoning on the rapture coming at pre tribulation. You left no doubt in my mind as to agreeing with you fully, until I was listening to a pastor that was being interviewed about the rapture and his point of view was how he didn’t believe in any rapture of the church, and that even the scriptures don’t come right out and mention the word rapture in them. I even looked up rapture in the bible dictionaries, and the word rapture is not listed. Read Post »

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.” (Matt. 16:2-3)
So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. (Matt. 24:15-16)
For then there will be great distress (Great Tribulation), unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. (Matt. 24:21)
When it comes to developing any kind of time line concerning the End Times, the watershed event has to be the Abomination that Causes Desolation. Why? Because from that time forward, the Bible gives a very clear sequence of events. Read Post »

Q. On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest) what do you think is the likelihood of the rapture happening on or before Israel will be Age 63 or in approximately the next 2.5 years. Mathew says this generation will not pass away before all be fulfilled. As you can tell I have subtracted 7 years from 70. Thanks. Read Post »

Q. Are Christians present on the earth at the time the anti-Christ appears? Does the anti-Christ appear before or after the Rapture? Read Post »

Q. I absolutely love your site and have told everyone I know about it. My question is, I know that Jesus died for us so that we may be forgiven. I have been with my fiance for 6 years and lived together for 4 and we have 2 children together. We basically feel married. We want to get married but I don’t want to rush down to the court house, that’s not really what every little girl dreams of.
So anyway we’re going to get married, we have 2 kids, and we live together. I now have turned my life around and came back to Christ but do not feel like I need to leave Him cause we’re not married yet. Do you think I would not make it in the rapture or go to heaven for this reason? I have a relationship with God and try to do everything else right. I also ask for forgiveness all the time. But will I be forgiven even if I know I will commit the same sin again(in my case sex before marriage). I do feel guilty all the time, but I know that that’s the devil trying to make me feel unworthy of God’s grace. Whats your perspective? Read Post »

Q. Your article on Faith prompts a question. Most writers say the US will be thrust into chaos when the rapture occurs, because our best people will be removed, leaving incompetents/sinners in charge. Could there be another reason why the US is rendered of no consequence at the end? You say miracles of the first order are apparently taking place all over the world, but not the US. Virtually no one, from pillars to laymen in the US are worthy of the saints in Hebrews chapter 11. Read Post »
