UFOs In The Bible, Follow Up

Published: September 10, 2012
Q

I read your answer about UFOs not being in the bible and gasped. The Bible talks about them extensively. Beginning with Genesis and on through Revelations God and Christ both refer to UFOs, which are really no more than fallen angels, nephilim and Satan’s tricks. As a police officer and journalist I’ve seen mutilations and photos of mutilations and was told in the Police Academy that UFOs and aliens are real, but that as officers we are never to admit to it, to report on it or to talk about it. Please do some research and revisit this question. It is vital to the end times.


UFOs In The Bible?

Q

I have a question about UFOs. I was watching a History channel program which said UFOs were thought to have been around since Biblical times. Do you find any evidence that the Bible is talking about such things?


Did The Catholic Church Invent Islam?

Published: September 8, 2012
Q

Did the early Catholic church create the Muslim faith? I ask this due to my own research which has not given me any solid evidence either way. From my understanding the Catholic church of that era created Islam to control the Jews and Christians for the Catholic church, but it got out of hand and Islam exploded into what we have today. Do you have any information about this?


One Paradise Or Two?

Published: September 7, 2012
Q

I have been reading your arguments for Paradise being a place of comfort in sheol and I usually agree with your reasoning but this time, it leaves me a bit confused. Could there be two kinds of Paradise; one in sheol according to Luke 23:43 and one in Heaven according to 2 Corinthians 12:4 ? In both these passages, the word Paradeisos is used, but they seem to describe two different destinations. Could you clarify this apparent contradiction for me please?


The End Times Empire. Follow Up

Q

I’ve read your articles about the revived Roman empire either being from the Western or Eastern leg of old Rome. If the ten toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue represent these kings and each leg represents the eastern and western leg, then is it possible the ten kings could be a mix of 5 Islamic leaders and 5 western leaders?


Did Jesus Ever Mention The Rapture?

Published: September 3, 2012
Q

To what extent can we assume that Jesus might have been blending events (speaking of both rapture and 2nd coming) to keep things obscure enough as to not give away too much information? Did Jesus ever refer to the rapture directly, or was Paul the one to present its “First Mention” in scripture?


Mankind’s First Generations

Published: September 3, 2012
Q

A dear friend has asked for clarification about the first generations of the human race like, who did Cain marry, did he have many sisters, etc. I assume that Adam and Eve had many children over their long lives and that their children also had many children of their own. Am I correct in my assumption that we have no idea how old the brothers were before the murder?


What’s The Surprise Factor At The Second Coming?

Published: September 3, 2012
Q

I’m struggling with the two sets of 1260 days given for the 70th week. From what I understand, the first half or the first 1260 days will begin when a contract is signed with the Antichrist (Dan 9:27). From there, the 70th week will be basically 1260 days x2. If this is true, then once the treaty is signed (Dan 9:27) then the return of Christ appears to be predictable. However, Christ said it will come as a surprise because no one will know the day or hour in advance. I know there is the 75 day period after the Great Tribulation is finished. If Christ doesn’t return on the 2520th day, then His return would be narrowed down to at most a 75 day window and the “surprise” factor is reduced greatly. Can you help me on this one?


Gentiles Saved After The Rapture

Q

Can gentile people who miss the rapture still be saved during the tribulation? Thanks for any help you can give me with this question.


The Time Before The Law. Follow Up

Published: September 1, 2012
Q

Re: The time Before The Law. In view of the Romans 2:14-16 passage will those who did not know the Law but had the Law instinctively in their hearts be saved from the second death? If so, this is a new insight for me because what I’m now seeing is that those “who show the work of the Law written in their hearts” will enter eternity with all those who were of the first resurrection. This would answer the question “what about the people in deepest, darkest Africa who never heard the gospel?” Answer: Jesus will judge them at the Great White Throne and those who kept the Law even though they did not know the Law will be saved. Do you see what I see and do you agree?
