Married Or Not? More Follow Up

Published: September 13, 2010
Q

I found your website 9 months ago and look forward to reading it on a daily basis. It is awesome and have learned so much.However I have to disagree with you on your stand on living together without being married.. How do you explain what the bible says that fornicators will not enter the kingdom on God? Also, since fallen angels had sex with mortal women, and we will be like the angels, does that not mean that when we go to heaven, we will also have sex?


End Times Revival?

Published: September 12, 2010
Q

A group of us have made it a habit to meet regularly due to our love of Christ and interest in the end times. However, I have some concerns about the majority expectation that we will receive a latter blessing which surpasses the miracles Christ did (how does one surpass bringing someone back to life?!). My interpretation of Joel and other passages leads me to believe this blessing will accompany Christ’s return to earth at the millennium. My friends think we are expecting this blessing any minute for the true church and that we will be responsible for converting thousands to Christ in the end times.


Rosh Hashanah Rapture?

Published: September 11, 2010
Q

Some Messianic Jewish teachers and lay individuals teach that during Feast of Trumpets at a certain point in time the Lord will initiate the Rapture of the Church. Can the Church, predominantly gentile, assume the Rapture will occur at some point during that appointed Jewish feast?


Married Or Not, Follow Up

Q

In the question “Are they married or not?” you said: “Some people who don’t have licenses are married in the eyes of the Lord and others who do are not.” Could you clarify what you mean at the end of the sentence?

Do you mean people who do not involve God in their ceremony (ie just going to a justice of the peace, or using some other religion, etc), or do you mean people who aren’t really committed to the marriage in their hearts (if so would that be if they weren’t even in the beginning or is it just if they are no longer, or maybe in cases of forced or arranged marriages, or marriages of convenience)?

I would think that even if people didn’t make the promise to God specifically, their vow to each other would still stand and He would consider them married.


The Great White Throne Judgment

Published: September 9, 2010
Q

Rev. 20:12 says “And the books were opened”. Books is more than one so I take it as 2, the book of the saved and the one of them not saved. But then it says ANOTHER book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Please explain the different books and why there are more than 2 etc.


Rev. 6 And The Magnetic Polar Reversals

Published: September 8, 2010
Q

Could you explain what you were referring to when you stated in one of your answers that the 6th seal in Rev. 6 could occur in 2012? The person who sent in the question to which you replied, also agreed that the 6th seal could happen during that year. What is prompting you to say that?


Is The False Prophet Jewish?

Published: September 3, 2010
Q

Thank you again for this wonderful website. My question is about the false prophet. We have been attending a series at a local church on Daniel and Revelation and the pastor who is teaching made a statement the the false prophet will be Jewish because he comes from the land rather than the sea. We would like to know your thoughts on this.


The 200 Million Man Army, Follow Up

Published: September 1, 2010
Q

I believe there is an error in your The 200 Million Man Army answer. Revelation 6:2 says, “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. ” This is when the anti-Christ is revealed. Not all nations will agree to his authority and will bring on the next 3 judgments. Are you saying that the anti-Christ won’t be revealed until sometime during or after the Trumpet judgments? Respectfully I disagree with both interpretations.


What Are The Spirits of Dead Believers Doing Now?

Published: September 1, 2010
Q

I understand that when a believer dies the spirit goes to Heaven. Is our spirit already working for God? Are we like Jesus as he was when he revealed himself to the disciples after rising from the tomb? Is our spirit restricted from leaving the new Jerusalem before the rapture? I understand that at the rapture our new immortal bodies will join with our spirit that has been in Heaven. Thank you for your insight.


The Stinging Locusts

Published: August 30, 2010
Q

First off I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your website and how much it has blessed me. I tell everyone I can about it. Now to my question. I just read your article Judging Planet Earth. In the article you said that only the 144,000 would be protected from the stings of the locusts. What will happen to those that have accepted Christ as savior before this judgment takes place and to those that accept him while suffering? Again I thank you for your site and pray that the anointing of the Lord stays with you as you stay faithful to Him.
