I would like to know about the anointing with oil? Can I put the oil on my car and house and pray for blessing as well?

Can you explain 1 Cor. 15:24-28, especially verse 28? Does this mean that in the end, Christ will be ‘absorbed’, so to speak, by God and no longer be a separate entity or that Christ will no longer be relevant, for lack of a better word, and just be like us or just that Christ will no longer have to reign and can just ‘rest’?

In John 17, Judas is referred to as the son of perdition. In 2 Thess, the Antichrist is referred to as the son of perdition. Is there a connection here?

From the Israeli side there are some that are able to see that indeed Israel will have to attack Syria with some extreme right-wing Zionists insisting that the sooner this is done the better.

Efraim Inbar, for example, an Israeli academic with neoconservative connections in the US and who advises the Israeli government, told Aljazeera.net “I advocate attacking Syria – to some extent we are wasting ammunition in Lebanon.” When asked if the peace process is now dead he replied, “Forget about it, it’s over.” Whether or not Inbar was privy to the Israeli government’s long term plans to attack Lebanon is not known, though, had he had any input to such planning, he would clearly have advocated taking on Syria as well or attacking Syria directly.

I was wondering what you make of the recent discovery of a 3000 year old skull? The scientists believe that this was one of the first types of ‘ape-child’, and is an important discovery in evidence of the Theory of Evolution.

Some time ago I read an article by a Christian writer that said the discovery of the ‘genetic code’ would prove once and for all that genes are not able to mutate to such an extent, that a complete new species would be formed – thus disproving the theory of evolution. Which is it?

I would be grateful for your comments.

I hate to throw a stick into the spokes of Jack’s article concerning Revelation, but like all pre-tribulationists, he’s mistaken about the timing of the rapture. It’s real simple: Paul says the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we who are alive and remain. If the dead rise first, that’s the resurrection, isn’t it? Jesus, himself says in Revelation, the first resurrection is immediately after the tribulation. If this information is incorrect, please let me know.

Thank you so much for your insightful articles. I check your site daily.

I have read several articles that speculate that Isaiah 18 may be referring to the United States and may explain why we are not included in the end times scenario. What is your view on this?

I believe in all the prophesies in the Bible. But what about those extra-biblical predictions like St. Malachy and such? I know in Joel 2:28, God said that there will be people who prophesy. So how do we (Christians) discern which revelation is from God and which isn’t? If I received a vision, how can I be sure that it is from God?

I have really enjoyed reading your articles. I am especially interested in the studies on Prophecy and the End Times.

I have a question concerning the article you wrote about the seven signs of the second coming. In your first point you talk about when Israel took its place among the nations in 1948 being a fulfillment of prophecy and you said that the generation being born when that happened would still be alive when He returned, siting Matthew 24:34 as proof. Are there other scriptures that you have studied that help you come to that conclusion, because when I read Matthew 24:34, it says,”I assure you, this generation will not pass from the scene before ALL these things take place.” I don’t read anything specific about 1948.

Could you please clarify how you came up with that?

I read your site daily and find it quite insightful as well as informative. May the Lord Bless you for all your hard work. OK, here’s my question: Regarding the Ark of the Covenant, I am trying to follow the ark from the time it was built until it disappeared. Because as you know many have looked for it through the ages. I believe the name was changed from “The Ark of Testimony” to the Ark of the Covenant early on in its history. I still have a lot of reading to do, but was the Ark in the second temple? and two; is it the same as the “Ark of His Covenant” as described in Revelation 11:19? If so then why would anyone be looking for it as it appears to be in Heaven with The Lord? Maybe he took it when the Glory of the Lord left the First temple. What are your thoughts.?
