I have a question that’s been bothering me like crazy lately. If God knows everything before it happens, then He knows what we are going to do before we do it, so how is that free will? Its like He knows this person is going to hell and that one to heaven and He cannot be surprised, so why was he mad at Adam and Eve if he knew they were going to eat from the tree?

Why do Christians almost always end their prayers saying “In Jesus’ Name” ? Is it incorrect to omit that? We’re having a gathering at our house, and, out of respect for a Muslim guest, my family thinks that we should omit, ‘In Jesus’ Name’ when we say grace that day. I totally disagree. But, I want to be sure that I’m disagreeing because it’s wrong to do that, and not because of any emotional reason. Is it proper to just pray to GOD, and not end the prayer, ‘IJN’, or do Christians always invoke the holy Name of Jesus at the end of any prayer?

In your book “Understanding Revelation” you explain “predestination” very nicely. It got me to thinking about all that and it made me wonder if the list of names in the Lambs Book of Life is the “full number” of believers. Would the full number be complete when the last person in the book believes?

Re: Ezekiel 38 And The Rapture. Your recent post placing the rapture no later than the conclusion of Ezekiel 38, based on Romans 11:25, has changed my thinking. But what I can’t figure out is, if it happens as you say, what war will the Red Horse rider bring? Or does that mean there is only one war (Armageddon) during the 70th week, since Psalm 83 precedes Ezekiel?

I have seen recently the request by PM Netanyahu for Jews to come to Israel. Now I know the Blood Moons coming up don’t relate to Bible Prophesy, but could the Jewish Prophesy of the this Blood Moon event be the reason Jew may be coming home to Israel in a big way.

Can you please explain why Satan is called the accuser? Who are the accused? What is he accusing about and does he still have that privilege to accuse anyone when he was already expelled from heaven?

I have a question on the purifying of the land described in Ezekiel 39. It says that the whole nation engages in disposing of the bodies of the invaders for seven months. After seven months, squads of people are specially employed to dispose of any remains that are found. When a bone is found, a marker is placed by it and the burying is done by specialists. One explanation I’ve heard is that the common man avoids touching the bone so he can remain ritually pure. My question is: Does this level of ritual purity exist in Israel today?

Since John was exiled to Patmos, how did the letters to the seven Churches get distributed? While we’re at it, how did the book of Revelation get dispersed and enter the cannon of scriptures? I thought being exiled meant that there was nobody around.

A question that I’ve been stumbling to answer or comprehend is the fact that the Old Testament sometimes label God as a killer. We hear of many events where God would kill the nations that were fighting the Israelites. From these events people conclude that our God is the killer, that makes me uneasy. Is our God really a killer, based on these story in the Old Testament?

I read your web site with great interest. Thanks for the time you spend in keeping it current. My question regards my half sister who is married to a Jewish man. I did not meet her until I was 22. She is not born again, nor is her husband. She has made it very clear that she does not want to hear about my “religion”. Seems I offended her with a religious Christmas card one year even though she and her family celebrate “all the holidays”, meaning the secular form of Christmas and also Hanukkah. So I honor that by not bringing it up whenever I communicate with her. They have three children, two girls and a boy.

What I am wondering is if when God calls the Jews back to Israel, do you think its possible that this will include their family? I pray for their salvation on occasion, but it would be interesting to see if this is the method God will use to save them (if they are going to be saved). I think it would be exciting if her husband was called to be one of the 144,000.
