Which Last Day?

Published: April 13, 2014
Q

In John 11:24 Martha referred to the resurrection at the last day. What last day does this refer to? Is this the last day before the new heaven and earth, the last day before the millennium starts, a period of time, or some other last day?


Zechariah 12:10. Crucifixion Or 2nd Coming?

Published: April 13, 2014
Q

Is Zechariah 12:10 a prophecy about Christ being crucified or about His return to Earth at the second coming?

“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”


Going Back In Time?

Published: April 13, 2014
Q

Since God is outside of time, could He hear a prayer in the present and apply it to the past? My mom died before I was born again. I’d like to believe she accepted the Lord before she died but I don’t know for sure. If I pray for her salvation could God look back to the time when she was still alive and honor my prayer?


What If They Had Accepted Him?

Published: April 12, 2014
Q

I have often wondered what would have happened if the Jews had truly and officially accepted Jesus as Messiah; if the Lord’s reception on Palm Sunday had permeated the entire nation of Israel. Based on your broad knowledge and understanding of what Scripture reveals, can you speculate what would have been the course of history in the past 2,000 years?


Reconciling Daniel’s Prophecy To Palm Sunday

Published: April 12, 2014
Q

From my research, I see that Daniel was taken captive around 605-600 B.C. Yet, while there, he was given a vision of prophecy that would take place 483 years into the future, the coming of the Messiah. I’m having problems reconciling the time leading up to Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday from the 69 weeks of Daniel’s prophecy and the time-frame that he was held captive. Did Daniel have an abnormally long life span?

Q

I have read that the meaning of twinkling of an eye in Jewish sayings, means at sunset. Have you heard of this? Maybe there is a different root word for this?


Not Ready When The Rapture Comes?

Published: April 11, 2014
Q

My church leader has said in the past; speaking about the Rapture, if you are in the nightclub when Jesus comes, He’s not going to stop by there to pick you up. I don’t go to nightclubs but, is this doctrine true of the Rapture?

Israel’s New Wealth

Published: April 11, 2014
Q

It is interesting that in the last few years, Israel discovered the gas supply of their coast and the Shekel has appreciated by 15% over the last year and a half. So it seems that while the rest of the world is becoming worse off, Israel is becoming better off. Does this tie in with end time prophecies?
