Noah’s Wife

Published: August 26, 2022
Q

Some time back I was watching (a well-known televangelist) and I thought he said that Noah was married to Enoch’s daughter. The bible says that Noah was Enoch’s grandson, but then again Noah could have been married to a half-sister like Abraham. Anyway I can’t find anything on her. Is it possibly in the genealogy somewhere?


Feeding The Multitudes

Q

Both times when Jesus fed the multitudes, there were different numbers and differing amounts in the leftover baskets. Do you see any significance, or is there a teaching, on these numbers, both of the size of the crowds and the leftover baskets full? I would be interested in seeing what you have thought about this. Thanks


Help Me Get My Son Back

Published: August 25, 2022
Q

I am a daily reader of your site and I feel blessed every time I visit. My son accepted Jesus as his Savior after a very rough life of drugs, alcohol and an absent father. I have prayed for him for years that God would rescue him.

God sent some very close family members to talk to my son knowing that these people were the only ones he would listen to. After spending a weekend with them he gave his life over to Jesus and I had never seen him so happy in my life.

He and his wife had a miscarriage with their second child and I slowly watched the joy and the light go out in his eyes. He is returning to his old ways of drinking and drugs and I cannot reach him. He says he cannot pray and I believe Satan is getting a stronger hold on him as each day passes.

Are there any passages you could suggest to me that I could persuade him to read that would bring him back before he is gone completely? I have been praying for him so much and have tried to talk to him but with not much success. It is breaking my heart to see him becoming empty inside again.

Thank you for your fantastic knowledge that helps so many.


Do All Saints Rule With Christ?

Published: August 25, 2022
Q

In Revelation 6:9, John saw souls under the alter that were slain for the word of God and the testimony which they held. They were given white robes and told to rest until the remainder of their fellow martyrs were killed. In 7:14-15, more white robed people who have come out of the Tribulation are seen by John. They will serve Him in His temple, and live with Christ. Then, in Revelation 19:8, the Bride of Christ are arrayed in fine linen entering the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

My question, in Revelation 20:4, I understand it to mean that only the martyrs of Christ will reign with Him one-thousand years. Will all saints reign and rule with Him, or only the martyred saints from the Tribulation period?

 


Forgiving A Brother

What do you think Jesus means in Matthew 6:14-15, when He says that if you will not forgive your brother then neither will your sins be forgiven?

 


Satan’s Fall From Heaven

Published: May 31, 2022
Q

Do you think the rapture happens as the dragon is cast out of heaven? I wouldn’t want to be around when he is cast down and confined and angry. It’s interesting that Jesus comes with the archangel but it doesn’t say with a great host of angels. Perhaps the angels are kicking butt and clearing the rebel angles out and getting things ready for us. When Jesus said He saw Satan fall like a lightening bolt, how does that fit in to the war in heaven when He is confined to earth?


The Centurion And The Sons Of The Kingdom

Published: May 31, 2022
Q

I have a question about something that was thrown into the middle of the conversation between Jesus and the centurion in Matthew chapter 8. In 8:11 and 12, Jesus goes from marveling at the faith of the centurion to telling His followers about people eating with Abraham Isaac and Jacob (the Jewish people) in the Kingdom of Heaven but those that already live there (the children of the Kingdom) will be tossed out. Is this referring to the angelic realm? I’m really confused.

Does The Lord Test Us?

Published: May 30, 2022
Q

I was wondering your thoughts on God testing us. I’ve only heard this taught one time, Deuteronomy 8:2 says that God tests us in order to know what is in our heart, whether or not we will keep his commands. If taken literally, or at least the way I take it, the LORD brings things across my path to see how I will respond… Will I chose to act in faith on his word, or be in fear. Will I choose to obey or not and so on and so forth. Is this correct? If so it would give a different outlook on “problems” we encounter on a day to day basis.
