Unrest In Egypt

Published: February 1, 2011
Q

I have been reading several news articles this morning about how the situation in Egypt has serious implications for Israel. With pressure building on their northern borders with Hezbollah now there is a possibility of having an even greater foe forming on their southern border with much more advanced military capabilities. How does Egypt play into the upcoming events and what does the Word of God say concerning Egypt?


A Transfer Of Wealth?

Published: February 1, 2011
Q

What is the transfer of wealth to God’s people? I have a friend who actually believes that she will receive monies to pay off all of her debts and have enough to send to certain evangelists that she gives to. She, of course, got the scriptures to back this up from those evangelists. I know that God provides all our needs but she thinks that this money will be taken from the sinners and given to God’s people. I looked up the scriptures that she gave me and see what she’s referring to but wonder what it really means . As usual I look to you for answers and thank God you are there.


After The Tribulation

Published: January 29, 2011
Q

I have heard that after the tribulation, people who have become Christians will enter eternity as mortal people and will continue to live mortal lives, being sustained by the tree of life. New life will be perpetual in this sense. If this is not true, how are they changed or transformed after the tribulation?


Eternal Life For The Jews

Published: January 24, 2011
Q

You say the Jews will live in the Millennium under the Messiah, and then go on to their eternal destiny in what we call Israel. Will these Jews have eternal life? Will they go to Heaven when they die if they are faithful to Messiah? You say their fate is different from the Church, but do they have eternal life, or is that not stated?


Didn’t Israel Have To Repent First?

Published: January 24, 2011
Q

I have a question and would like you to answer it, please. I understood the Jews should not be entitled to Israel until they repent. Are they suppose to be occupying Israel now with unrepentence? Or did they not need to repent before they went back to occupy Israel?


Bible Prophecy

Published: January 23, 2011
Q

When studying prophetic books of the OT is there an easy way to know which prophecies have already been fulfilled in the past and which have not if its not real obvious, without being a history buff or theologian? Do Bible dictionaries and commentaries help with that? Any suggestions?


2300 Or 1150?

Published: January 21, 2011
Q

I’ve listened to your MP3 Bible study on the Book of Daniel. I’m not a mathematician and therefore have a problem understanding how you came up with 1150 days by dividing 2300 evenings and 2300 mornings. In the New King James version it is describe as 2300 days ( Lit. evening – morning). I understand that from the creation, God and Israel go by starting the day from sunset to the next sunset. 1 evening + 1 morning is 1 day.


Signs Of Judgment?

Published: January 20, 2011
Q

It seems some end-times pundits are pondering the rash of animal deaths. They point to Hosea 4:3 and Zephaniah 1:3 with some speculation that God may be beginning His judgment on America. I have to admit that some of these do seem strange especially 200 cows in Wisconsin dying at about the same time. I respect your opinion and wonder if you’d be willing to add some thoughts regarding these scriptures?


Revival In The Last Days?

Published: January 19, 2011
Q

I am intrigued by a prophecy I’ve read some time ago and reread recently by (a famous evangelist from the 1950s who has since died). I don’t know if you are familiar with it, but it talks about a mighty outpouring of God’s Spirit on His people all over the world, the result of which is many people healed and delivered, after which the bride was ascending to the heavens (rapture). I would love to be part of that and through it seeing many more people added to the bride, so as them not having to go through the tribulation. What are your thoughts on this, please?


Which Is Worse, Adultery Or Divorce?

Published: January 18, 2011
Q

I have been married for 14 years and am currently having an affair with another man. If I am the one to initiate a divorce will I ever be able to marry again or am I going to have to remain single? I know God hates divorce and I also know that a divorce can only come if there is adultery. But I am the one having the affair and the one wanting the divorce. Which is worse to have the affair or get a divorce?
