Could Judas Be In Heaven?

Published: June 24, 2013
Q

I have a question that I hope you can help me with. It concerns Matthew 27 :3-4.

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? see thou to that.”

Judas admitted he sinned and repented. Is there a chance he may be saved and in heaven?


Should I Find Another Place Of Worship?

Published: June 23, 2013
Q

I joined a new church with great enthusiasm and joy. Beautiful people and a great pastor. However, I am watching the ministry slide into a Calvinistic & Reformed view, which I can not grasp – I am confused and in constant prayer asking God to to guide me. My question is this – do I stay in this church when I just do not believe their views?


Rapture Before Anti-Christ?

Published: June 21, 2013
Q

Since I teach an adult Sunday School class, I am very diligent about accuracy. Here’s my question. In 2nd Thessalonians 2:3, Paul answers a very deep concern of the believers there. When he states that the Day of the Lord will not come “unless the apostasy comes first and the man of sin is revealed” is Paul implying that they would see the man of sin or will they (we) be taken in the Rapture beforehand? My observations are that apostasy is now rampant and easily observed. Why is it not reasonable that will we also see the anti-Christ identified before the Rapture?


Communicating With The Deceased

Published: June 21, 2013
Q

We lost our 19 year old daughter 3 and 1/2 years ago. I joined an internet group of grieving mothers, mostly Christian women. A lot of them talk about receiving “signs” from their child. Is this Biblical? I can’t say that I have ever had a sign, although I do dream about her. I am troubled that if it is possible to receive signs, why am I not receiving any?


Two Groups Of Tribulation Believers

Published: June 20, 2013
Q

In Revelation 7:13-15 there is a Group of Believers who “came out of the Great Tribulation” who SERVE God. In Revelation 20:4-6 there are those who are beheaded for Christ, therefore, they reign with Christ. What is the difference between the 2 Groups of Believers?

Could it be that the 1st Group are the Christians who missed the Rapture by “living in sin” at the time of the Rapture? and that the 2nd Group are new converts who were faithful to Christ?

The Red Heifer And The Coming Temple

Published: June 20, 2013
Q

I was reading your Q&A on The Coming Jewish Temple and saw that the Red Heifer and ashes from the last one were needed. Well see the site below. According to it, there is a Red Heifer alive and well in Israel. Also a well known prophecy teacher claims certain Israeli officials believe they know where the ashes of the last red heifer are located.


More On Who Lives Where?

Published: June 19, 2013
Q

If I recall correctly, the OT Jews who died believing in a Savior to come will be living in Israel during the Millennium along with those who survived the Tribulation. Jesus will rule from Jerusalem. The Church will live in the New Jerusalem. So do God and the angels stay in Heaven or will they be in New Jerusalem? Or is Heaven now the New Jerusalem?

And concerning those who choose to worship Jesus during the Millennium (descendants of those who accept Jesus during the Tribulation) – Because they aren’t Jews, do they go to the New Jerusalem when they die or are their bodies simply transformed and they continue to live on earth?


The Coming Jewish Temple

Q

I was just wondering, with all of the ceremonial rituals and sacrifices that also go in to constructing the temple, how long would it take from the point that the Jewish people begin to build it and when it would be done?


The Strong Delusion

Published: June 19, 2013
Q

Do you have any opinion of what the lie in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 might be? It says God will send them a strong delusion so they believe it. How convincing will it be to those left behind?
