The Meaning Of The Millennium. Follow Up

Published: January 24, 2013
Q

Re: The Meaning of the Millennium. If the earth is re-populated only with believers after the 2nd Coming, and if believers can’t loose their salvation, then how can the 1000 years be a final test for mankind? In fact, what you are saying is that some will sink so low, they actually will loose their salvation and go to battle against The Lord. Would a believer do that – and can believers do that?


More On The Destruction Of Babylon

Published: January 23, 2013
Q

Please help me to understand something about the future Babylon in Rev 18. 17-18 ; if Babylon is to be rebuilt on the plains of Shinar, then the phrase “And every ship master, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off” suggests a port city, a port by the sea in fact – how can this be? The plains of Shinar are nowhere close to the sea, or visible from the sea. What gives?


1967 And The End Times Generation

Published: January 22, 2013
Q

I heard another prophecy teacher say that the key to the end times is Jerusalem, based on Psalm 102:15-16 and Luke 21:24. Therefore, the end times generation would begin in 1967, not 1948. Please comment.

In one of your articles you stated that the lost sheep not of this fold were Gentiles. But are not the Gentiles referred to as goats?


Was Israel God’s First Born Son?

Published: January 18, 2013
Q

I have a question about Exodus 4:22-23: Then say to Pharoah, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son, and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’ ” This verse says that Israel was God’s firstborn son. Does this differ from the claim Jesus made in John 3:16? “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God only has one son so how could Israel be his firstborn son?


Do We Have Little Strength?

Published: January 16, 2013
Q

I agree with your interpretation of Romans 11:25 that the timing of the rapture is based on a number instead of a specific date. If so, do you see the big push for promotion and acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle, as well as abortion on demand to be a final “big push” of the enemy (Satan) to try and delay reaching the number? And is the twisting freedom of speech laws to try and stop Christians from sharing the gospel a sign that the church has “little strength” as the Lord said in Rev. 3:8? That our influence is being diminished, making the great commission more and more difficult?


The Desire Of Women

Q

Will the anti-Christ be a homosexual according to Daniel 11:37? If he is a Muslim, that lifestyle will not be accepted. What are your thoughts?


Kept From The Hour

Published: January 13, 2013
Q

I have been wondering if Revelation 3:10b where Jesus says to the church of Philadelphia (the evangelical church) “I will also keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” is also a verification of the rapture happening before the tribulation since some of the judgments happen before the “Great Tribulation”? Could you also explain the “hour of trial”, would that speak of the whole 7 years?


The Wrath Of God

Published: January 9, 2013
Q

In Romans 5:9, is the Lord (through Paul) referring to believers being saved from the wrath of the great tribulation, or from the wrath of eternal separation from God in Hell?


Will She Still Go To Heaven?

Published: January 7, 2013
Q

My daughter has moved in with her boyfriend. If the Lord comes back now will she still go to heaven? She is a born again Christian but her boyfriend is not. I hear a lot about how we must be ready for the return of Jesus and I think we should try our best to live holy lives.
