Another Nephilim Question

Published: October 1, 2013
Q

This is a question which has been on my mind for years and is blocking my concentration on you article on The Nephilim. So here it is. If Noah’s line was the only uncontaminated line left on earth before the flood, where did the wives of the sons of Noah come from? Why weren’t they contaminated, too?


What Will Happen To The USA?

Published: October 1, 2013
Q

After the rapture and during the Great Tribulation and Millennium, what will be happening here in the U.S? I am assuming the Jews left behind from the rapture will make their way to Israel once they see Israel win the Battle of Ezekiel 38 by God’s hand. With the economy failing , I wonder if some Jews in the U.S will even be able to afford to get over there, and then to flee when the abomination that causes desolation of the temple occurs. I wonder what becomes of nonbelievers (and non-Jews I should say) that live in the U.S. Some of them could possibly still attain salvation, correct? I understand that after the rapture and the church is gone, God is dealing with Israel only. I just don’t know where this leaves the United States of America , gentiles and Jews alike.


Saved But Not Interested?

Published: September 29, 2013
Q

I have encountered a number of people in my life who claim Jesus as their savior but who don’t seem to know much about Him or even have any interest in learning. Could they be saved? It feels like oil and water talking to them, and their behavior, opinions and fruit don’t appear to be in sync with Gods word. It honestly feels like they are either faking their belief or just don’t know any better. How do you reach someone like this?


Can Jews Be Saved Without Jesus?

Q

I have witnessed to many Jews when ever I get the opportunity to do so. However I do have a question about their salvation. If they die without the acceptance of Yeshuah as the Messiah are they lost?


The Gift Of Faith

Published: September 29, 2013
Q

In a recent post you wrote: “The gift of faith mentioned in 1 Cor. 12:9 is different (from the faith to believe) in that it’s not something every believer receives. It’s a supernatural faith that allows those who’ve received it to believe the impossible and is often accompanied by the gifts of healing, miracles, and prophecy.”

I’ve prayed, “Lord, I don’t want faith the size of a mustard seed but the size of the sun!” Is it unreasonable to pray for such a gift and expect the Lord to answer that prayer? I think it’s needed in the world today more than ever!


Health Care In The Millennium

Published: September 29, 2013
Q

Re: “How Will they Merit Eternal Life”. Your answer raised a few questions in my mind, regarding the tribulation survivors found worthy to enter the kingdom (The Sheep) You said they will have earned eternal life once their natural life ends. Will there be medicine, doctors, hospitals, all of life’s technology that we depend on now, after Jesus returns and sets up his kingdom? If the Tribulation survivors will be re-populating Planet Earth, won’t they be in need of all these things?


Turning Away From My sins?

Published: September 28, 2013
Q

It seems that throughout my entire life, I’ve heard numerous preachers say “You need to repent and turn away from your sins” whenever they are referring to asking for salvation. To me, this is impossible. If I could “turn away” from my sins with my own power, why would I need a Savior? I don’t like the fact that I sin daily, but I cannot quit doing it. Can you please clarify for me (and others) if “turning away” from our sins is a requirement for salvation? If so, I’m in trouble!


The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

Published: September 28, 2013
Q

I’ve been wondering, is there anything in prophecy that addresses the radioactive contamination from the Fukushima nuclear meltdown? I live near the CA coast and have a retreat up north. Everything I read from prophecy buffs says the whole Pacific Coast and Hawaii will be radioactive soon. Frankly, the East Coast isn’t any safer for a number of reasons. How should we address this threat when people bring it to mind?


What Happens When we Die?

Published: September 26, 2013
Q

When a believer dies supposedly his/her spirit goes directly to the presence of the Lord but in what form? Some say we receive a perfect body at death but if so what is the purpose of the resurrection then? It appears that when we die as believers we have some sort of conscious awareness but do we have a temporary body?

It seems cruel or even scary for us to be disembodied until the resurrection. I think this is why some are tempted to agree with soul sleep because it seems to be the most logical explanation without being contradictory or perhaps we need to admit that we just don’t know.


Magog. Russia Or Turkey? Follow Up

Published: September 26, 2013
Q

Re: Magog. Russia Or Turkey? At the end of your comments you quoted Ezekiel 38:15 and stated that it says “to the land of the ‘far’ North.” I have a King James Bible and it states, “And thou (Gog, vs. 14) shalt come from thy place out of the ‘North parts’.” Thou and many peoples with thee.” What translation do you use to find “far” North? I have always been taught also, that the invasion is from Russia, but this translation (far North) seems to be stretching the meaning a bit.
