Who Was Making This Outcry? Follow Up

Q

Re: Who Was Making This Outcry? Your response to this question kind of missed the mark in my opinion. I use the KJV and it makes it pretty plain that Sodom and Gomorrah were the source of the “Outcry”. For instance, if you walk by a park filled with children playing and having fun, the cry of it will be joyous. Walk by the same park another time filled with picketers chanting against something, the cry of it will be a cry of protest. What I’m saying is, nobody had to play the part of “Tattle-Tale”. The cry of the cities were witness against them.

Re: Genesis 18:20-21. And the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.” Who is making this outcry?


Rev. 17-18 Follow Up

Q

Am I correct in my interpretation of your commentary that Babylon is really a representative term for false religion, economic enslavement and corrupt governments? Because if it isn’t a term to represent these things, “literal” Babylon doesn’t make sense to me because never in my lifetime has the current City of Babylon ever been a center for anything. If the Lord’s return is as soon as we think it is, than the rebuilding of Babylon as the center of all these things had better get crackin’ because it only has a few short years to accomplish these things.


FEMA Camps For Christians?

Published: July 31, 2012
Q

Jesus said in Matthew 24:38-39 that when He returns it will be like days of Noe in that people were getting married and eating and drinking then the flood came. Do you think that the rapture has to happen before all the FEMA Camps and stuff like that comes down on us? Or do you think the FEMA Camp Dictatorship thing might happen and it will be a difficult time for us Christians but that the rapture would then happen at least before the revealing of antichrist? Maybe the eating and drinking as days of Noe is referencing Israel and middle east area but not a worldwide (or at least American) ‘business as usual’ condition?

Does Micah 5:5 infer that the Antichrist will be an Assyrian, as a valued friend if mine insists?


Did Adam And Eve Eat Eggs?

Published: July 29, 2012
Q

Were Adam and Eve and pre-Flood folks allowed to eat eggs from fowl, chicken eggs and such? I wonder because there was no death before Adam and Eve sinned and an incubated egg is basically the death of the chick. I’m not sure I’m asking this right, but hopefully you’ll know what I mean. Pre-Flood people were not allowed to eat meat (and I know fowl isn’t considered meat per se) but would eggs be considered animal?


Isaiah 17. Now Or Later?

Published: July 27, 2012
Q

My question is regarding the timing for the fulfillment of the prophecy contained in Isaiah 17. While I agree with the position that the prophecy awaits a future fulfillment, I often wonder about a possible fulfillment during battle of Armageddon or at the end of the millennium. Although quite possible, conventional weaponry would probably not cause the city to become a heap of ruins in the manner Isaiah 17:1 describes whereas a nuclear explosion would. That being the case and given the current situation in Syria, do you foresee a nuclear exchange between middle eastern nations prior to the rapture of the church and the 70th week of Daniel?


Denominational Differences

Q

I hope this question is not too complicated to answer, but I’ve noticed that, in general, non-charismatic fellowships believe in OSAS, and that charismatic fellowships don’t. I confess that I may simply have arrived at a wrong conclusion, but if I haven’t, any idea how or why this came to be?


Isaiah 17. Judgment From God?

Published: July 24, 2012
Q

Your site is a blessing to me. Keep up the good work. There is some speculation that Isaiah 17 is a judgment from God. Therefore we will be raptured before the event takes place. Is this true?


A Vision Of The Rapture?

Published: July 20, 2012
Q

I read an article on internet yesterday, written by someone who saw a vision of the rapture, and how he went in the rapture, and he explain how a young woman who had expected to go in the rapture because she thought she was ready, did not go, and how she cried in dismay and shock. For the last 7 years I have been very expectant of the rapture happening and believed that I am right with the Lord. But when I read that article, I was uncertain. What are the criteria to go in the rapture?
