My question refers to your answer for Election or Choice. In your answer you state, “Mankind has now learned that time only governs physical beings. God, being Spirit (John 4:24) is therefore not limited by the constraints of time.” I can fully understand how God who created time, can be outside of time, and therefore can see the end from the beginning, but I do not believe that being ‘outside of time’ applies to anything other than God. For instance, although Angels are spirit beings too, I believe that the scriptures prove that they are not outside of time.

I’m having trouble reconciling the “unknown day” of the Lords return with the battle of Armageddon, Matthew 24:29 says “Immediately after the tribulation of those days” which means the Great Tribulation is over, then has the fighting not stopped or does this just mean the Bowl judgments are over? Because at the Lord’s return he destroys the armies that have compassed Jerusalem, can you please clarify the sequence of events.

Why don’t Jews help Christian Zionists out financially if they have trouble with funding? I’ve always thought Zionism was a one-way street. You love them but they don’t love you!

I have a question concerning God’s judgement on nations. Given what Christ has done to redeem believers and that the Holy Spirit is in the world to convict of sin and to draw men to Christ, does God still judge nations in the Church Age as He did in the Old Testament? Or is judgement now reserved for the Tribulation period?

I believe that the Bible teaches that the Lord will come for His church before the Tribulation. But I was reading an article by another Bible teacher/author who says that there are no verses to support the timing of the Rapture being before the Tribulation. He seemed to have kind of a snarky attitude about it, too. I don’t know why, as fellow believers in the Lord Jesus, why some get so worked up about it and make the claim that it’s a deception for us to believe in the pre-tribulation rapture. What do you think?

Is it possible that God will save ALL of His children? The Bible seems to leave open the subject, because in the end all the tears are wiped from our eyes. What if He only made the souls that would endure?

I tell you, it’s so confusing with the various viewpoints of eschatology; preterist, futurist, premillennial, amillennial, postmillennial, pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib. Who knows what to think? It’s unfortunate there is so much fuzziness with interpretation of prophecy among Christ’s followers. Why can’t we all agree on the facts?

Thanks so much for your very informative site. I have a question regarding Luke 12: 47-48. Who is being spoken of here ? Do these verses indicate punishment for lazy believers or degrees of punishment for unbelievers ?

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s generally best to take the Bible literally if it makes sense that way. I do have some problems with a passage in Revelation. In the Armageddon time, scriptures talk of horses in battle and, of course, the verse about blood being to the horses bridle. The standard explanation is that John was using his own understanding to communicate future events. I’m o.k with that, but then I read an article about EMP (electromagnetic pulse generation) a type of weapons system that, in simple terms, occurs when a nuclear device is detonated high above a city, the consequence being that everything electrical in the blast area is fried. I can’t understand the physics of it, but I assume it’s possible. So, do you think that it is possible that this could be how the US is taken out of the forefront of end times events? If an event like this happened over Europe, could that be a reason that the armies of Armageddon are on horseback, or an I reading too much into the verses?

Thank you again for the wisdom that God has given you to help those of us searching for answers! My question is, if we are to take the Bible literally, will Gog’s army (Ezekiel 38:4) actually be on horses again? Could something cause machines not to work and we go back to horses as our mode of transport?
