In Matthew 13:35 he cites a passage a passage from the Old Testament : “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.” He gives this as fulfillment of what was spoken by ‘the prophet.’ But this passage is from Psalm 78. Does he also make a mistake in Matthew 21:5 quoting Zechariah 9:9 when mentions ‘mounted on an ass and on a colt’ Where Zechariah sees them as one and the same. Please explain how these are not mistakes. Thanks.

Thank you for your site. It has become my every day delight! In the New Jerusalem, we will be like the angels in heaven According to Mark 12:25. That means our bodies will not be human-like but angel -like. If that’s the case, then why does Rev 22:2 mention the tree of Life producing fruits each month. Is that fruit for the church-angels? (Do angels eat?) Also Rev 22:3(NIV) mentions that the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. What does that mean?

Do you believe there is significance to the Millennium-Sabbath Theory and do any reputable figures in history or current prophecy sites believe this? I know it’s not what Peter was actually referring to when he said a day is like a thousand years, but the idea sure seems to hold credibility.

In your answer to a question about the Holy Spirit you said, “After we’re raptured, we’ll no longer need the Holy Spirit to be sealed within us, since the event His presence guaranteed will have taken place. During the 70th week the Holy Spirit, having been released from the Church, will resume a ministry on Earth similar to the one He performed in Old Testament times. ” This scares me.

Adam did not have a sin nature, he was sinless. I don’t think that he wanted to sin in the beginning. He was without the Holy Spirit and he sinned to his destruction. Lucifer did not have a sin nature, he was sinless, and he sinned to his destruction. If the Holy Spirit is not needed because we have a sinless nature and don’t desire to sin, but leaves us to return to earth, how long can it be before we end up like Lucifer and Adam with a new mess on our heads for which there is no more sacrifice? Doesn’t forever mean forever?

I have a question about your answer to “I’m Confused”. You said the introduction of the anti-Christ doesn’t officially happen until the middle of the 70th week, several years after the Church is gone. I always thought the anti-Christ signs a peace agreement with the Jews at the beginning of the 7 years which he then breaks and establishes himself in the temple, the abomination of desolation. How can the peace agreement occur without the anti-Christ identifying himself? Can you clarify what is wrong with my thinking?

Like so many, your web site continues to inform and bless me and my family. We are very excited about our Lord’s coming for his church. As I study the world’s events, one thing keeps bothering me. Is Babylon going to be rebuilt to the extent it appears to be in the Bible to accommodate the Lord’s return in the 2018 time frame? I am worried a city of that magnitude would take longer to develop. Would love your input on this subject. Thank you and God bless!!

The way I understand it thus far is for 490 years the Jews did not give their land a Sabbath year of rest so that was 70 years they owed God for the land Sabbaths. They went into exile to Babylon and that paid that debt. Daniel 9 speaks of six things they must square away for the 490 years that are determined for them. 69 weeks of years were fulfilled and the 70th week of years is coming up after the Church Age, what we nick name the 7 Year Tribulation Period. What is it that makes the 490 years still on the clock for them since they served the 70 years for the land Sabbaths in exile already?

Thanks for all you do in the name of our Lord. My question is about prayer furnaces. Pastors these days are saying that the prayer furnaces are mainly important because they will usher back the return of Christ. I haven’t seen anywhere in the Bible where this is true. Am I missing something?

I absolutely believe prayer in these last days is important. I understand that the true church will be weak, and it’s hard for me to accept that the church is going to be strong in the last days and their is going to be a huge revival on the heels of these prayer furnaces. What do you think?

I was discussing the rapture with some other guys. One of them said that (regarding 1 Thes. 4) there’s a shout and a trumpet, so how could the rapture be secret if there’s such a big fanfare right before it happens? Second, they said that John 14:2-3 could just as easily mean that we come back to earth to the New Creation in Rev. 21. It seems to me that there is a bunch of stuff being skipped over for that interpretation to work. Your thoughts?

Jack, someone said to me, “…God forgives whether I ask or not.” Is there a specific scripture to support this statement? Thank you for always helping.
