In a recent article on the Book of Life you said only the church will be listed in the Lamb’s Book of Life, which is different from the original Book of Life. Won’t those who come to faith during the trib/great trib also be written in the Lambs Book of Life?

I have always agreed with your interpretation of the Seal Judgments in Revelation, but lately I’m wondering if we may be seeing them opened, with what’s going on in the world as we read this. The rider on the white horse could be the rise of radical Islam, as it has all but taken over much of Europe, Asia, and Africa; the red horse, signifying war, is becoming apparent; the black horse, representing famine, is emerging with increasing global food shortages, riots, and starvation; the pale horse, signifying death by disease, is on the horizon, with the emergence of countless super-bugs, and plagues. But I ask myself: what of the Rapture? Is it possible that we may have misinterpreted scripture? I realize we could be just seeing a foretaste of what is to come, but I can’t help but wonder. I covet your thoughts, please.

I’ve read your comments about reading Matthew 24 in chronological order, and I understand what you are saying. However, I have a hard time with people living life without a clue that the world is about to end after all the events of the tribulation/great tribulation. Are the events literal? Blood up to the horses bridles? The two witnesses, etc. I just can’t wrap my brain around people being that blind.

I have always thought that Matt 24:37 referred to the period of time just before the Rapture, that things will be pretty much business as usual then we are raptured out of here. From what I understand from your teaching you believe it refers to the time just before the second coming not before the Rapture. It doesn’t seem to me that things will appear “normal” to people at the end of the tribulation but they could be that way before the Rapture, like now for instance. If what you are suggesting is accurate it messes up a lot of Rapture timing theory don’t you think”? Did I get something out of context here?

Last night (a well known TV Bible teacher) revealed on his show what he believes is the span of years described as a Biblical generation. He quoted Mathew 1:17 where Mathew said there were “fourteen generations between Abraham and David, fourteen generations between David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen generations between the exile and Jesus.” He took the number of years between each of those milestones and divided each by fourteen. The answer in each case was 52 years. He then said if that number is added to 1948, Jesus should have returned in 2000. Therefore, he places the beginning of the count at 1967 when Israel regained control over Jerusalem. This would make 2019 the year of the Lord’s return and the Rapture occurrence in 2012.

If Israel is God’s chosen people and the Messianic Jews are those who have admitted they were sinners and have accepted Christ, then who will be the remnant saved in Petra?

Did the Apostles write anything about the temple being destroyed? I know Jesus mentions that the temple would be destroyed and raised up in three days. Also, do you think Matthew 22:7 is a prophecy of the temple being destroyed? If they did write something to indicate that, were there any Jewish writings in existence indicating that the Christian writings of the Apostles concerning the destruction of the temple had been fulfilled? Surely they must have been astonished?

In reference to dealing with sin in Millennium–I ‘m not sure there will be sin during the millennium, certainly Satan’s demonic spirits will be at work trying, but since Satan is bound during this time I believe the people living then are able to resist sinning. When Satan is released for a short while at the end I believe the ones he goes to gather are his demons who have been trying but failing to accomplish this. They are the number as the sands of the sea that gather to do final battle.

I have a question that I have not heard discussed. When the 10 tribes were scattered all over the world some didn’t come back when the Jews came back after Babylon. If these people have lost their identity over the ages and have not retained their Jewish identity. How will they know to go back to Israel if they don’t now know they are an Israelite?

I live in Louisiana and recently the news reported that hundreds of birds in a small Arkansas town just fell dead out of the sky. At a time they should have been on their perches, they were flying and just fell dead. It has also happened in two separate towns here in Louisiana and it has happened in other countries. In your opinion does it have anything to do with end time events and is there any proof in the bible at all regarding this? Just too much strange stuff going on here recently.
