Are the first post rapture believers martyred for their faith Jews and Gentiles and if they are not part of the Church, are they still considered the Body of Christ and do they enter the New Jerusalem or the Kingdom? We have our new bodies, having been raptured already, so we must be in the New Jerusalem. Where are these souls who were martyred? I thought only the Church enters the New Jerusalem. Are the remaining saints, OT and New, Jew and Gentile, are in the Kingdom on Earth after the Second Coming?

I have two questions, please. First, I have a certain amount of sympathy for non-Christians who say they can’t get around the thought of Hell. Many sincere unbelievers ask: Why does God punish a few decades of sin with an eternity of torment? And Second, How do you think God feels about people in Hell? Will He love and grieve for them forever, or does He actually hate them?

You are doing a great job and may God bless you and your web site. I was wondering if you could explain the difference between rewards and inheritance. I know our rewards will be based on how we live and we will earn them. But what about our inheritance? Is that something different and, if so, is everyone’s inheritance the same?

Who exactly is the remnant church? I always thought this referred to believers during the Tribulation but it these days everyone and their gramma seems to be identifying it as the fringe group they belong to.

Daniel 12:2 says, “Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the Earth will awake, some to everlasting life and others to everlasting shame and contempt.” If we are either with Christ in Heaven or in Hades at death before the resurrections, why does it say “those who sleep in the dust of the earth?” Either we are in the ground or with Him or Hades, awaiting the resurrection, which is it? No wonder people are so confused.

I have a question that I hope you can answer. Why does the Bible say it is wrong to consort with those who predict the future, when in fact it was prophecy – prediction – that told us of the coming of Jesus Christ? How can it be wrong? It feels like such a contradiction to me. Why are some called prophecy and others predictions anyway?

Re: Mt 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

I’ve never really understood this passage, It says these people prophesied and performed many miracles. Wouldn’t they have to be saved to be able to do this? Yet Jesus gives them the boot. I guessing they were never really saved but I was hoping you could shed some light of the subject. thanks!

I was teaching the gospel to someone who claims to be a Christian but believes that every road leads to heaven. The person who I talked to said that the Bible mentions this in the beatitudes in Matt. 5:1-12. Who was Jesus talking about in this verse and what does it really mean?

My question is concerning the mystery of the Rapture. I have been doing some research into the different mysteries mentioned in the Bible. One interesting thing I noticed is the word mystery isn’t found in the Old Testament. I do understand that the word mystery means truth. So, a truth is being revealed when we see a mystery being explained.

It makes sense to me that the Cross was a mystery because if Satan had known about it, then he would have done everything in his power to keep it from happening. But what about the hidden truth of the Rapture? Why would this need to be hidden? Could Satan do something against the church if he happened to know about it before hand?

I’ve tried to approach this from all angles and just cannot see how he could do anything if the Rapture is determined by a number. After all, Satan may be a mighty angel, but an angel none the less. I appreciate any insight you may have on this. Thanks for your efforts and God bless.

Everyday it seems that the struggle in my heart over good and evil gets more intense. Is there a remedy for this? I believe that I am saved but the struggle seems to be getting more and more acute (nothing illegal or harmful just immoral in light of God’s Word). Could this be a sign that I’m on the right track or is it a sign that I may not be saved after all?
