Three Battles Or One?
Published: November 10, 2013I don’t understand how students of Bible Prophecy have come to see Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39 as two different events. Can you shed any light as to how these two prophecies (Psalm 83 & Isaiah 17) do not converge in the Ezekiel 38-39 battle?
Ezekiel 38 And The Tribulation
Published: November 9, 2013Is it possible the Magog war could last 7 yrs throughout the tribulation?
Sin And The Law
Published: November 9, 2013Paul’s effort to communicate the coalition of the law and death becomes very difficult to a simple mind when he says : “for until the law sin was in the world , but sin is not imputed when there is no law. ” Roman 5:13 What does this mean and what is your take on this? Does it mean that those who lived sinful lives before the Law was given , lived guiltless in sin?
OSAS And Hebrews 10
Published: November 8, 2013I have a question on Hebrews 10:26-29. I was brought up to believe in “once saved, always saved”, yet this scripture would make someone think that salvation could be lost.
“For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of truth,there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law will die without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace.”
I am new to your site, but you seem to have some pretty knowledgeable things to say. Please clear this one up for me.
Dan And The Anti-Christ
Published: November 8, 2013I would like to hear your thoughts regarding Genesis 49:17-18 and how it relates (or “if” it relates) to Jeremiah 8:16-17. Are the two related, and if so do you believe that the Bible teaches that the Anti-Christ will arise out of the tribe of Dan?
Rev. 1:7. 2nd Coming Or Rapture?
Published: November 8, 2013You probably have already answered this question, but I’ll ask it again. Revelation 1:7, “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” In your understanding, is this passage of scripture referring to 1 Thes. 4:13, or 2 Thes. 1:7?
Falling Away Or Departure?
Published: November 8, 2013As you hinted at in your Feature Article, “The Great Apostasy” of 10-19-13, apostasy has been with the Church since it came into being at Pentecost almost 2,000 years ago. Because apostasy in the Church has been more the rule than the exception, don’t you think a more reasonable exegesis of 2 Thes. 2:3 would be a confirmation of the pre-trib rapture by using the word “departure” to translate the Greek word “apostasia”?
Eternal Security And Eternal Life
Published: November 7, 2013I hope you can help me settle something once and for all. I firmly believe in eternal security, but someone I know insists we can lose our salvation. She says the Bible does not say eternal “security” but says eternal “life”. I have given her plenty of evidence from God’s word and still she falls back on this. Eternal life and eternal security are the same to me. She’s looking for the specific word, “security”. How can I answer this particular point ?
There’s A New Day Coming. Follow Up
Published: November 7, 2013I have just read your article “There’s a new day coming” and I am a bit confused. I thought it’s Michael the angel who protects the saved Jews in Petra, not Jesus. I recall reading that in one of the books of the major prophets. Michael is Israel’s guardian angel I believe?
Also, please help me to understand why the nations attack Jerusalem at the battle of Armageddon, I thought the anti-christ would be ruling from the temple? Do the world’s forces attack the anti-christ and in the process plunder Jerusalem or is it secular Israel they attack?
The State Of The Church
Published: November 6, 2013We hear of movements of the Spirit in Middle Eastern and Asian countries (albeit often underground) but we don’t seem to hear of these things in Europe. Since it seems as if we are following Europe’s lead, and will likely arrive at the same destination, do you foresee a somewhat underground movement (perhaps driven by apathy instead of persecution) of the Holy Spirit in America before the rapture and is there one in Europe now that is not being talked about much?
