Great site, I am a regular reader with a small question. How to interpret Isaiah 24:21 “So it will happen in that day, that the Lord will punish the host of heaven on high, and the kings of the earth on earth.” Who is the host of heaven on high here? From the rest of the chapter one could assume it is referring to Satan/Lucifer/fallen angels or the A/C, but being called the “host of heaven on high” sounds more like Christ. Is it a reference to Christ and his work on the cross instead?

You are teaching a pre-trib rapture. 1 Thes 4:16 mentions a trumpet of God as one of those things that call us to meet the Lord in the sky. If that was all I had, I could see how the rapture is pre-trib., but 1 Cor. 15:52 says at the last trumpet, and isn’t the last trumpet toward the end of the Trib. according to Rev.?

I, like so many others, appreciate your website and the truth that you share about God’s Word. My husband and I differ when it comes to praising the Lord. He does not believe there is a place in worship for raising your hands. Psalm 134 says to Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. My husband says that those who do this are saying look at me…I am righteous. I feel the lifting of your hands is a way of saying, “Thank you Lord” and “I praise you.”

In the New Testament, I have read ”you don’t work, you don’t eat”. I have MS. I don’t work and can’t help around the house. Do I ignore this reading?

God has forgiven every sin that I have done, as well as those I will still do. So the full price was paid for all my sins. When I regret what I have done, I repent before God and ask forgiveness, knowing He has already forgiven me. But my question is, what about the consequences of my sin?

I have a question about Mathew 24. How is it that the disciples asked questions about Jesus 2nd coming when they didn’t even fully understand that he would be crucified and be resurrected like he was trying to tell them? Another question I have is about Him saying the time before he comes again will be like the days of Noah, (vs36 -41) where people will be eating and drinking, but I thought the days would be violent from the all the natural disasters and judgments in Revelation? And also in the parable following this it says the master who finds his servants not watching and expecting his return would be cut to pieces, Isn’t all of Israel going to be saved at the 2nd coming?

Maybe I didn’t read it correctly but the person who wrote this article asked if the phrase “the wages of sin is death” was speaking of a physical death not a spiritual one. You responded, “The wages of sin is death comes from Romans 6:23 and relates to physical death.” How is wages of sin is death related to physical death? If that were truly the case, born again Christians wouldn’t be physically dying on this earth. I’ve been always told, wages of sin is spiritual death, which is separation from God.

I read your answer to the question on collective salvation. What about household salvation? In the scriptures and I don’t have them now, but I have read “You and your household will be saved” What does this verse/verses similar to above mean?

In a recent post you said, “The believers who suffer during the Great Tribulation are those who come to faith after the Church is gone, and in fact the disappearance of the Church will convince many to become believers. We know they’re not part of the Church because their destiny in Eternity is different than the Church’s.” How do you know this? Please explain the difference.
