I have been reading numerous articles lately concerning the coming “Affordable Care Act.” Written within this law will be the requirment of an RFID. I have also read about our Soldiers being required to receive a microchip, presumably for medical information. The Affordable Care Act will become law on Mar. 23, 2013. Could this be considered the Mark of the Beast , or a precursor to it? I understood that the Mark would not be required until Antichrist is revealed and we believers would already be Ratured. I see the end times signs all around, and am becoming fearful for what lies ahead. I know I belong to the Lord, so why is this fear starting to come down on me, like a heavy weight ?

I have read almost every thing that I can find that you have written and I consider you to be one of, if not the, best writers on the end times. But in a comment on Rev. 6:11 you made a statement that bothers me.

“Just as the church has a fixed number to achieve before its time on Earth is fulfilled (Romans 11:25) so it is for believers who’re martyred for their faith following the Church’s disappearance.”

I know what Romans 11:25 says, but it seems that you’re saying that there is a fixed number that the Church must meet in people saved. To me this creates goal that must take place before Christ can return for His Church, making the timing of the rapture subject to a precondition. I thought the rapture could happen at any time. Have I misunderstood what you are saying?

In regards to Vladimir Putin’s recent presidential victory and it’s relevance to Ezekiel 38. From one of your audio studies you speculated that Gog is a supernatural figure. From your studies it was conveyed Daniel 10:12-13 seems to imply that every earthly kingdom and/or government is influenced by a spiritual power. Therefore if Gog is not human then could President Putin be manipulated by this supernatural being?

I have a question regarding the rapture. I get the impression from books, commentary I have read, and from bad movies I have seen that when the rapture occurs all those who are in Christ will disappear from the earth, however I don’t understand why God would have any use for our physical bodies. It seems to me that when the rapture occurs God will receive our spirits and that the corpses of all those who believe will the left on earth. Is my understanding incorrect?

I’ve subscribed to your theory that once the Church has been removed, the period of Grace ends and Law once more prevails. It would certainly make sense if the Holy Spirit dwells within us and the Antichrist can’t be revealed until the vessels containing the Holy Spirit are removed. However, this morning I came across this verse that gave me pause: Ezekiel 36:27 says, “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.” It seems to be saying, during the Tribulation, the Holy Spirit will dwell WITHIN the Jews. Am I missing a key point?

Due to the magnitude of debts, economists are claiming Taxmageddon is coming to America, and implosion is coming to the euro zone. If economic meltdowns of epic proportions do take place, will the Church be here to feel the financial pains?

I just read a teaching on the site of a friend’s son. He has a post tribulation view. He states that “the church needs to go through the tribulation to be purified” and that pre-trib. believers will become disillusioned when we find that in truth we have to go through the tribulation.

I’ve read your studies on the two witnesses of Revelation 11, and you have really good points. Whether it is Enoch and Elijah, or Moses and Elijah, perhaps the exact identity of them is not as important as that there are two witnesses. Nevertheless, I was wondering if there was someone in the New Testament with the spirit of Enoch or Moses, just as John the Baptist had the spirit of Elijah? And if so what could we learn from this?

I highly appreciate your views to every question thrown upon you. In this regard, I would like also to have clear explanation regarding Exodus 32:30-33, most especially in verse 33, which says, ” The LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. How do you relate this verse to OSAS? I am a born again christian and I believe on OSAS, but there are times when I sin. Does that mean that whenever I commit a sin, my name is blotted out from the book of life, and when I repent it will be written again? Please explain.

Does Job 38:22-23, which speaks of storehouses of hail that God has reserved for days of war and battle, refer to the end times as one prophecy magazine has stated?
