Your answer on giving to secular organizations has brought me to ask you this question. What is your opinion on giving to candidates in political parties? In my state this year,we have a candidate who I know is a born again believer. I will definitely vote for him, but do I give to his campaign?

I’m in turmoil and need an answer soon for my very health depends on it. My husband of five years lied to me before we married and told me he was a christian. Only I found out later, by his own admission, that he had lied about that. Long before I met him, he was a drug addict and had gotten clean. If it wasn’t for that and him telling me that he was a believer, I wouldn’t have married him but he led me to believe he was someone he was not. Am I free to leave him due to his repeated lies and lack of remorse?

In your answer to a question about the EMP threat, you wrote: “Because of the catastrophic effect of a successful EMP attack, I don’t believe it will happen before the Rapture of the Church…” Why do you think that? Is God preventing it in His mercy so those who belong to Him don’t have to suffer from such an attack or is there another reason?

Do you think the Rapture of the church will be the last straw for the world economy and it will trigger the global financial crash?

I’ve just seen yet another article from an author contending that the antichrist will not be from The Roman Empire. If I remember correctly you’ve written that the antichrist will be from there. Is that correct or is my memory faulty?

Re: Matt. 24:36. Why did Jesus not know the time of return ? Was it because He had divested Himself of aspects of His deity in order to ‘take flesh’ and be able to die for us, or was there another reason? I have heard pastors say that He still does not know, but surely that would make Him less than God. He must know all that the Father knows, now that He is back with Him. Also was His comment to do with the rapture or second coming? I also have always believed the rapture to be number determined, but an omniscient God, who ‘sees the end from the beginning’ must surely know when that number will be completed.

A friend of mine is adamant that the Gog/Magog war will only happen after the millennium, as described in Revelation 20 but I am of the opinion there will be two Gog/Magog wars; one prophesied in Ezekiel 38/39 and the other an attack by the enemies of God at the end of the millennium. Just like there was WW1 and WW2 with virtually the same countries in both wars, could there not be two Gog/Magog events?

I read often about the threat of EMP attacks and I am curious. We’re told in Revelation there will be certain events – such as the death of the two witnesses and the fall of Babylon – which will be seen “worldwide” – do these prophesies then dispute that such an attack will happen in America since those left behind would obviously not have access to a TV, as would possibly portions of Canada and Mexico?

I have been struggling lately with different life options and find myself thinking, “I won’t be here much longer anyway, what is the point?” One area in particular that has been on my mind is investing for retirement. I know that I have a responsibility to be a good steward of my finances, but I can’t help think that reducing my investments and using the money that has been freed up toward the Kingdom would be a better idea. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Is there any reason the rapture couldn’t happen this fall season? If war breaks out in the Middle East it could all start the domino effect could it not? Are there any prophecies (of the 500 that you have spoken of) that must be fulfilled that would make this fall season impossible?
