There is so much evil and corruption in this world in every place you look; business, school, police, government. We try to stand our spiritual ground but it’s becoming harder and harder to do, in the face of all the evil. Is it alright for Christians to pray for Jesus to Rapture His Church? I admit I have really been praying hard for it recently. I pray He comes for us soon.

Re: Rev. 21:8, I do not understand who or what is applied with the term fearful. I understand the rest of the sinful acts however I’m not clear on that fearful one. would you have an explanation that would clarify it?

I am very excited about learning prophecy and pray for the rapture to come now! I get very excited talking about it and try to get people around me to get excited about it and to pray for the rapture. It is very frustrating that I seem to be the only one that gets excited about this and I can’t get anyone else to join me. So, I started thinking maybe it’s just me…do you think it’s possible that I’m on the wrong path? I know Jesus wants us to love/enjoy this life here on earth, and I do, but I know the next life is going to be so much better than this one, so how could I not pray for that to come?

Also, does the bible warn about speculating when the rapture might happen? I have to believe that if Jesus didn’t want us to watch/look and speculate, he wouldn’t have told us about the signs to watch for.

Thanks again for a great site. Common sense tells us that all children and those unable to make a decision for Christ due to mental capacity would be taken in the Rapture, but is there anything in the scripture to back this up?

One question that constantly comes out of the mouth of Post Tribbers is Matt. 24:30 and it’s relation to verse 29 before it, insinuating the rapture is the gathering spoken of and happens after the tribulation. I am sure I have read some reference about this in one of your articles but I am not sure which. My explanation usually deals with the fact that Jesus, here speaking to Jews is also prophesying the fate of the Jews living through the tribulation (context). However the explanation always seems to come across as my interpretation and I really have no clear scriptures to back it up. Any thoughts or scriptures I should consider?

Why is this question avoided by churches and or pastors, other than it’s wrong? Just read Galatians 5:19-21 and 1 Cor 6:9. Obviously I could go on and on, but We need to teach people and be bold. If people understand their righteousness, these questions would not even be brought up by believers. Your spiritual life needs to be larger than your physical life. You feed the spirit by reading your bible. The bible doesn’t mince words yet people keep asking pastors till they get the answer they want.

I have a question concerning Matt 25: We know that at the great white throne judgment Hades and death will be cast into the lake of fire. However, are the “goats” in Matt 25 the 1st inhabitants of the lake of fire after the beast and false prophet? Jesus` description “the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels” is NOT a description of Hades, but of the lake of fire, so it seems to me the “goats” go to the lake of fire at this point rather than after the white throne. am I correct?

Today my husband and I watched a television broadcast from a well known ministry. He was teaching about different kinds of hell and everyone who has already died, that was NOT saved will have a second chance to be saved at the White Throne Judgment, using Revelation 20 as scripture backing this up. What are your thoughts on this?

God says that I deserve eternal punishment for not being perfect, even though I couldn’t have been perfect in the first place! How can I be held morally accountable for not living up to a standard that I couldn’t have lived up to even if I wanted to and tried my very hardest to?

I have been studying Romans 7 and understand it to mean that “The LAW” was the wife of man, and until it died we were bound by it. Now that it is dead we are able to become brides of Christ and if we try to live in both we are in a form of spiritual adultery. I have two parts to my inquiry; 1. Am i correctly understanding this teaching? 2. Are we actually bound until death to our first spouse, and committing adultery by remarrying?
