I wanted to know your thoughts on the new Hollywood movie Left Behind starring Nicolas Cage. I subscribe to the pre rapture position, but lately I find myself conflicted on whether or not we will be taken before the Lord’s final return, mainly because I have been reading a lot of article responses where it is being refuted by a lot of Christians. I have been praying for the Holy Spirit to guide me to the truth on this and I keep stumbling across more people who say it’s not true. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I read a study by a post-Trib teacher who claims the Great Tribulation has already begun. Is there any possibility he could be right?

After taking Bible study classes and study of Scripture, I have taught Revelation in Sunday school from time to time and have taught that there will be a rapture. I know many Bible authorities teach that the only rapture will occur at the second coming. As I understand it, God says that if we wrongly teach what is in Revelation we will lose our heavenly rewards. What is your opinion?

I have a question concerning Proverbs 3:19-26. Could this passage be used to support pre trib? In verse 25-26 it states the desolation of the wicked will come yet the Lord will be our confidence and our foot will not be snared… Does “desolation of the wicked” mean the attacks from the wicked to others that will come or Gods attacks towards the wicked?

I’m in an area of doubt right now in my life. I struggle with accepting that those who simply don’t believe in Christ will be condemned for Eternity. I believe it because it’s something the Lord taught and the Bible speaks about, but I just find it hard to accept. I feel that it’s so much a kind of lucky ‘oh goodie! I picked the right religion!’ but can’t be just about that. I guess my question is, are people who feel God’s presence in their life and believe that they experience Him truly going to Hell just because they don’t believe in Christ?

Re: Isaiah 24. To whom is the prophet referring and what time frame (s)? Is it Israel and the dispersion? Is it the last days of the tribulation? Is it the end of Christ’s millennial reign just before time passes away and eternity begins?

I was reading Revelation 2 and have a question about the Nicolaitans. If they were indeed followers of Nicolas, who was said to be “..of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit…” in Acts, then do you think someone after Nicolas perverted his teachings, or Nicolas himself led them astray with his teachings?

I have a question about Deuteronomy 28:68 which says : “And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.” I was wondering if this was ever fulfilled and if so when.

I have been a pre-trib rapture believer but now have questions. Christians are supposed to be raptured before things turn real ugly. Scripture promises that. However, in other countries, we are already seeing beheadings and persecutions of the saints. America hasn’t seen anything like this but I do believe it is coming to us. I know it is impossible to know the rapture date but since we are seeing these horrible things occurring elsewhere and slowly creeping in here, I now question my belief in the pre-trib rapture.

I have two questions and would like your perspective. First, I have lost two Christian friends in the past two years. I know they don’t have their new bodies yet, but have they in spirit met the Lord Jesus, and do you think they have been told when the Rapture will happen?

And second, is it set in stone that the Battle of Ezekiel has to happen before the Rapture? I ask this because of all that’s going on in the Middle East. The beheading incident is chilling and a forewarning of what’s going to happen during the Great Tribulation.
