Who Were The Canaanites?

Published: September 22, 2012
Q

Re: Zechariah 14:20-21. On that day HOLY TO THE LORD will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the LORD’s house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the LORD Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD Almighty.

Can you tell me what is meant that there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD? Who are the Canaanites? Thank you so very much for all you do.


Marriage, Old Vs. New

Published: September 22, 2012
Q

For many years now I have been wondering why it was acceptable for men in the Old Testament to have multiple wives and concubines (and I am assuming they had sexual relations) while in the Church today you are either living in adultery or not saved if you have divorced and remarried. The guilt can be quite overwhelming at times. Thank you for any help you can give.


Three Days Of Darkness Coming?

Published: September 21, 2012
Q

I was wondering if you’ve heard about the “3 days of darkness” that some say is coming in 2012. I have heard from some (so-called) Christians that the Lord has revealed three days of darkness as in OT times in Exodus. Is there any truth to this?


Hardened In Part

Q

I was wondering if there was scripture about some but not all of the Jews turning to Jesus before the Rapture and Tribulation?

Q

I am totally astonished by your reference to the antichrist being crippled in one arm and blinded in his right eye using Zech: 11.17. In all my long years of being a Christian I have never heard this before and never read that verse until today. I have always believed the antichrist will actually be killed and rise again on the third day in an imitation of Jesus Christ. Can you give me other scriptures that corroborate this version you have?


The Anti-Christ In The Old Testament

Published: September 19, 2012
Q

I noticed in your current study you used Zechariah 11:17 in reference to the anti-Christ. Would you know of any other verses in the Old Testament that speak of him as well, since this has piqued my interest. I don’t think the anti-Christ being in the old testament is ever discussed by Christians at all. I’ve done a quick online search but haven’t come up with much. When I first became a believer, I remember coming across passages in the old testament that seemed to be talking about a “what if” Jesus had failed his mission. Could these passages in fact be alluding to the anti-Christ?


All Israel Will Be Saved

I have heard and read often times the term “All Israel Will Be Saved”. Just what is the full meaning of this?


Is Satan Concerned About The Rapture?

Published: September 19, 2012
Q

Since the devil knows the Bible, does he know what the rapture means and could he be trying to rush it, slow it, or is he not concerned?


The Coming Leader. Follow Up

Published: September 18, 2012
Q

In your article “The Coming Leader”, you specify that he will use Ezekiel 48 to show that the new temple doesn’t belong on the current temple mount. Can you clarify this, please? Is this true, or is it something the leader is going to “spin”? I read Ezekiel 48 and it just seems to talk about dividing up the land.


Does The Bible Support Post Church Salvation?

Published: September 17, 2012
Q

I recently watched a televangelist interview several other evangelists on the subject of salvation following the rapture (all were pre-trib) and I think 5 out of 6 said they did not think scripture supported the idea. The subject of those serving Him in His temple day and night didn’t come up, nor the mention in Revelation of those that were slain for not taking the mark arriving in heaven. What alternate interpretations of these verses could possibly support their views that no one will be saved during the tribulation?
