Wiping Away Our Tears

Q. When the Bible states that God will wipe away every tear, does that mean, despite dying or being raptured, we will feel sadness and cry until the very end when God does this?

The First Tribulation Martyrs

Q. I have been wondering about the statement in Revelation 6:9 for long time.
In this verse John said, “I saw under the alter the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God…”.

What got to me is, John only mentioned “the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God” and he did not see the souls of other believers who had died due to old age, sickness of killed by accidents, etc. And too, how about the souls of people like Noah, Abraham, Job, David, Samuel, etc. etc. Aren’t they too suppose to be under the alter as well?

Understanding Rev. 20-22

Q. The question you recently answered on Revelation 22 reminded me I had one, too. The timing of things confuses me.  It looks like we’ve had the Great White Throne Judgment in Revelation 20.  So why are there still liars & murders & idolaters outside the gates of the city?  Is the city the New Jerusalem?

We are grateful to you for all your help, and grateful to the Lord for you.

Drying Up The Euphrates

Q. On Monday, July 13th, the New York Times published an article that says the Euphrates River is drying up because of an extended drought and also due to Syria and Turkeys water policies.  I would like your thoughts as to whether this might be a “set up” for the reference in Revelation 16 of the angel pouring out  of the vial and drying up the river for the kings of the east to cross for their attack on Jerusalem (which will lead to the final battle, Armageddon)

Understanding Rev. 22:1-6

Q. Revelation 22 gives a description of our heavenly home, it’s awesome!  Verse two states that “the tree of life,  which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding it’s fruit every month.”  What is your understanding on the monthly time cycles mentioned here, when we’ll then be in eternity.  Won’t time cycles, as we have now, be no more?

The New Jerusalem?

Q. Thank you for taking time to answer questions and working so hard with your website!  I have something I have been wondering about: when you say that the new city of Jerusalem will probably orbit just above the earth, what scriptures can you find to show this point of view? I can remember one about John saying that the city came down from heaven but he never said that it landed on earth. Can you help me find some more please?

A Partial Rapture In Rev. 2-3?

Q. When you say there is nothing in the Bible that supports a partial rapture, my mind is drawn to the messages given to the seven churches of Revelation 2-3. With the exception of a couple, most of the churches were doing just fine, although the church of Philadelphia is the only one that receives no correction. They are also the only ones promised to be spared from the time of wrath.

Living In Heaven, Reigning On Earth?

Q. I have further questions on your article of June 25th.  In it you say we will live in heaven with Christ, and yes I understand our home  (or mansion)  will be made there.  How does Revelation 20:4-6 fit into this?  If we are reigning with Christ for that 1000 years it must be on earth.  God reigns in heaven forever and there is no other need to reign there.

A Question On Rev. 2-3

Q. While reading Revelation this morning, I was struck by something…when the churches are being called to correct something, they are all called to correct their ACTIONS, not their heart or beliefs, and if they don’t correct their actions, they will have their lampstands removed etc.   This seems to fly in the face of grace through faith and I would love to have it explained.
