I keep on hearing that King Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes after he repented from his fallen state (Although never got biblical support of this) marrying foreign women and worshiping their gods. This perplexes me because Solomon’s fall angered God and He swore to tear the kingdom apart. If Solomon repented how could God’s decree over Solomon’s kingdom have stood? Can you please share your views as to in which state Solomon was in when he wrote this book and elaborate farther?

Re: Rev. 21:8. I am wondering if this verse is just a comment applicable to all judgments or the Great White Throne judgment. If it is the GWT judgment how is it that these sins occur during the Millennial reign when Satan is bound. I recognize that man left to himself is capable of all kinds of evil but the 1000 year period is supposed to be free of these kinds of sins, I thought.

I have been studying, and teaching through the Revelation. Some things aren’t tracking well for me in Chapters 20-22. In Chapter 20:13 we are told the sea gives up the dead that were in it at the GWT judgment. The GWT judgment appears to happen at the end of the Millennium. How can there be any dead in the sea at that point as there appears to be no accidental deaths during the Millennium, and the judgment at Jesus’ 2nd coming is when the sea dead will be judged? The judgment sequences are very confusing. Can you please shed light on these for me?

If the Psalm 83 war is 1st, followed by Gog Magog, ending with Armageddon, where does the war between the king of the north and the king of the south fit in?

For a while now I’ve been pondering “the fullness of the Gentiles”. You have spoken on the differences between believers (the Body of Christ/the Church) as distinct from Jewish people and Gentile people who trust in Christ during the Tribulation. Since there will still be those two groups of people during this time, why do the Gentiles not figure into “the fullness” right through the Tribulation? Would not those Gentiles be counted as well in that “fullness”? And, the Rapture would then have nothing to do with this count?

In Isaiah 19:23-25 it talks of Egypt, Assyria, and Israel worshiping together. In Isaiah 19:25, God says “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” I understand Israel being God’s inheritance, but what about Egypt and Assyria? I am half Assyrian so I am very interested in what all this means.

I know you are careful about engaging in antichrist speculation but I am very curious as to how Ariel Sharon fairs as a possible candidate . This so called “Lion of God” has been in a coma after a massive stroke for 7 years and is now showing significant brain activity. What if he wakes up but with limited use of his right side?

I have read from another end times scholar who says the Assyrian from Isaiah 14:25-27 is the same person as the man of sin in 2 Thessalonians 2:4, and that this is the person that stands in the temple and causes the abomination of desolation. He further states that there will be three people in the end, the Assyrian, the Anti-Christ, and the False Prophet. I have never heard this before and was quite surprised by it as I don’t see this when I study this out. Can you explain it?

I’m watching pastors and people I have gone to church with in the past 4 years turn more and more to signs and wonders and human effort but now I realize that they’ve been lead away from the Blood of the Lamb toward the “man as god” scenario. Please tell me what you think about all this. How do I explain that I can’t participate with this because I strongly feel that the Holy Spirit is telling me to depart from them?

When are the believers who live through the Millennium resurrected?
