I have a question about Mark 13:32. If this verse is talking about the second coming, which I agree that it is, why do people apply it to the timing of the rapture? And, if it isn’t talking about the rapture of the church, why COULDN’T we know or be able and allowed to figure out the day and/or hour of the rapture? Thanks so much! May God richly bless you.

In one of your answers to a question about the rapture, you stated:”some think they are part of the church, but will be left behind at the Rapture.” How could they be part of the Church and not saved?

I am confused. How is it that we cannot know the day of Jesus return to this soon to be devastated earth when in the book of Daniel CH 12:11 it says that from the time that the abomination that makes desolate to Jesus return is 1290 days, then those who survive to 1335 days (45 additional days) will be welcomed into the millennium (Dan 12:12) . The Rapture of the church has no signs preceding it. It will happen when the full number of the Gentiles has come in. When that day or hour will be is known only to God. So, in light of what is written in Daniel, those who become believers after the Rapture and see the abomination that makes desolate in the Temple in Jerusalem can count 1290 days from that time and know the day the Lord our Savior will return. Am I missing something?

I have a question about a previous healing topic where you stated that praying “your will be done” (when praying to God the Father), showed weakness and sorta questioned if the healing could be done. I agree with this in a sense. I believe that it IS promised and we should ask with confidence and full faith that it WILL be done. My confusion comes when Jesus himself prayed 3 times that “if Gods will be done” to take the cup from him. (Matthew 26:39-43) Could you please clear up my confusion?

I believe as you do that when we become a Christian, all of our sins, past, present and future are under the blood of Christ. That being the case, what will we be judged for in heaven with all of our sins forgiven and forgotten?

As I understand it, you are a proponent that the 2nd Coming may take place during The Feast of Trumpets. I was wondering though, if The Feast of Tabernacles makes more sense. I say that because it is referenced in Revelation 20 as being celebrated. I don’t see where other feasts are celebrated so logically there must be a pretty important reason to celebrate one over the others during the reign of Christ. Would you please explain your theory?

I applied for a job at Walmart and got an interview, so most likely I am hired. My pastor saw me there and I told him what I was doing. Later that evening he told my husband that we can no longer be members of the church if I work at Walmart. Is this right? He says it’s because I would have to sell alcohol, because Walmart has alcohol there. He says in the Bible it says to keep yourself away from evil. I’m Confused! I prayed about financial help for a long time, and I prayed for GOD to send me on the right path. But now my path is a blur. What am I supposed to do?

A question was raised in our Sunday School class concerning the Holy Spirit and how people will be saved during the Millennium. One person stated they thought there was a verse that since Jesus will be reigning on the earth during this time, the Holy Spirit will not be on the earth. I believe you have stated that the Age of Grace will not exist during the Millennium, that those saved will not be sealed by the Holy Spirit, as we are today. Would you please elaborate on this issue? I’d like to provide some insight to the class.

In your article titled ‘Mystery Babylon…what’s the mystery’ you state the following.

“But during the Gulf War they discovered that ancient Babylon had never been destroyed in the way the Bible describes. Further research showed that it’s been continuously inhabited since the days of Nebuchadnezzar, and Saddam Hussein has expended much effort in restoring it.”

I am a believer but this confuses me since the Bible is to be 100% accurate. Can you please explain this?

Would you tell me if there is any biblical basis for my belief that prayers for the softening of a person’s heart who has already died will be heard from God and accepted? My understanding and view is that God is Lord of the Past, Present and Future; that he exists beyond my comprehension, over and above any time constraints. Because I view him thus, I believe that my prayers for a softening of my late grandmother’s heart that will lead to her salvation combined with the belief that God desires all to be saved can lead to an intervention in her life by the Lord such that her belief will turn towards him. I’ve asked other Christians what they think about praying for dead loved one’s salvation and have been told by some that ‘what’s done is done and you can’t pray for someone who is already dead’ , but others have agreed with my view and think anything is possible with God. Biblically, which view is correct?
