Q. I was reading an article by someone that said the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse would appear simultaneously, and not one after the other. That’s not how I read the sixth chapter of Revelation. Would you share your thoughts on this please? Read Post »

Q. I have a question about the sealing of the 144000. We know from Revelation 7 that the 144000 will be sealed as servants of God. We also know that Gentile believers will also be sealed because of the locusts in the fifth trumpet seal only being able to harm unbelievers.
My question is, do you think this seal on the forehead will be visible, and if so will the 144000 seal be different from the seal of Gentiles because they are chosen to be servants of God? Thanks you in advance. Read Post »

Q. Can you please explain why satan was called the accuser? Who is the accused? What is he accusing about and does he still has that privilege to accuse anyone when he was already expelled from heaven? Read Post »

Q. With respect to God’s wrath, I find myself struggling with it’s beginning. I shouldn’t – because I have no problem seeing the Church in Heaven in chapter 5! And if Revelation is truly chronological – which I have no doubt it is – then the wrath must take place in six. Yet, when I go back an read Rev 6:12-17, it really sounds like the Lord’s wrath begins after the 6th seal (or depending on some accounts, the 7th – which means Chapter 8 kicks off the wrath after the half hour of silence). If either is the case, and assuming the Tribulation (70 weeks) kicks off after the first seal, then the Church wouldn’t be taken until some time into the Tribulation. Could you please elaborate on this? Read Post »

Q. I have searched your writings about the Book of Revelation. I cannot find any comment on chapter 9 about how they will seek death, but it will flee those who do not have the seal of god on their forehead. What exactly does this mean? They cannot die by bullets, beheading, or anything else? This really freaks me out. They do not have the seal of God. Is this the same as saying they do have the mark of the beast? Read Post »

Q. I wanted to know your thoughts about the connection between the judgment of the whore in Rev 17 and the stock market. When I read that passage I cant but think Jesus was talking about today’s stock market. I’d like to know your thoughts! Read Post »

Q. Our family continues to enjoy the resources you provide on your website. Your Mark MP3’s have become one of the mainstays for our family Bible studies. I do have one question regarding prophecy that you may be able to answer (provided you have some free time).
I’ve carried a strong interest in Bible Prophecy for a number of years now. I’ve noticed of late some slight diversion as to the identity of the fourth beast of Dan 7. The traditional view has been that it is the Roman Empire and that we will soon see an end time revival of that empire. Another more recent view has been that the fourth beast is the Islamic Empire that began with the Ottoman Empire and has continued to this day. I believe that those holding this view reconcile the Roman Empire as an extension of the Grecian empire (through the 4 divisions that came out of this empire). I believe that those holding this view also acknowledge the Roman Empire as being one of the 7 heads of the beast identified in Rev 13. This more recent view has also led several to strongly suggest that both the beast and Antichrist must come from the East and that the Antichrist will be an Assyrian. Read Post »

Q. Hello Jack, thank you for your ministry and website. My question is about the Church of Laodicea and the Apostate Church of Revelation 17 – 18. In Rev 3:17 Jesus says to the Church of Laodicea …. “you don’t know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked”. I believe the word “naked” means they are unbelievers which leads me to believe there are no believers in this church. But then in Rev 18:4 God says …. “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins, or receive any of her plagues.” This leads me to believe there are believers in this Apostate Church as God calls them “My people”.

Q. In one of your answers you wrote “But although the Son has limited Himself, the Father has not.” My question is, which ones are the limited attributes of Jesus? (I mean, which ones are the divine attributes,that weren’t limited before His incarnation,but now they are?) Read Post »

Q. My question comes from reading the last sentence of your question titled The Time Of The Anti Christ. When you say that “There will no doubt be “Christians” in the world at that time (after the rapture) because the disappearance of the “Church” will bring fence sitters to faith.” Are you therefore saying that those who come to believe during the tribulation will also be called Christians although they will not be part of the church? I guess I always thought of them as “tribulation saints”, and the Church as Christians. Therefore all that believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that he died for their sins are all called Christians (John 3:16) even though they are not part of the church? Read Post »
