In your article, another chance to be saved, you state: “Those who miss the Rapture will still have a chance to be saved during the time leading up to and including the Great Tribulation. But they won’t be part of the Church, won’t be guaranteed not to fall away, and may well be martyred for their faith. Tell them it’s much better to decide now.”

But Paul said that those who believed not the truth would be caused to believe a lie. How do you explain this?

Regarding the “Pre Wrath Rapture?” question. I have this question for you since the person made a good point and I’ve wondered it as well – plus I really didn’t understand your answer. You are clear many times on your site that the rapture happens in Rev. 4, but why? Is it possible that the rapture might happen with the opening of the 6th seal? That would meet the requirement of the church not being present for the wrath of God. It would also allow God to concentrate on Israel during the Great tribulation. Also I don’t see prior to the 6th seal being opened of the church being present in heaven, however, right after the 6th seal the church is clearly present. Isn’t is possible? And what would the reasonings be for your anticipated answer?

I was reading your new article “Failed Prophecies” and I was wondering about Egypt being uninhabited for 40 years. Does this have to happen before the rapture and if not how could it happen? I believe that God fulfills everything he says so I just want to add this to my time line so to speak.

I came across a story in Judges chapter 19, about a Levite and his concubine. Understanding 2 Timothy 3:16, what is the lesson in this story? Did she bring this on herself? Should the Levite have listened to her father and stayed one more night? Was the Levite at fault too? Why was she cut up and sent to all the coasts of Israel?

I thank God for your website. You have me a little confused though. You and Hal both talk as the lion is at the door and surrounding Israel. The whole Arab world armed by America. Damascus going bye-bye?

My question is how can this possibly continue until the end of seventy years from 1948 or 1967. Please Jesus come!

You have already cleared my mind on so many points of conjecture that I feel like I am imposing but!!!!!!!!! All praise to Jesus and all my thanks to you.

I don’t know much about them (apparitions) but I know that those in Fatima, Lourdes & Medugorie were first witnessed by children. If these apparitions are from the devil, why would the Lord allow innocent children to be deceived and deceive so many people? We are told that to children belongs the kingdom of God, we are to accept faith like children and most important of all, the angels of the children behold the face of God (Matthew 18:5-10).

These days we are witnessing various (proven) healings in Christian Churches. Can the devil be linked to healings? we are told in the Bible that the Lord Jesus expected people to believe in Him as a result of the healings He performed. Healings are a sign that God is with the person in question. The Jews knew that the devil could not do the wonders that Jesus did. In John 10:21, it was commented “can the devil open the eyes of the blind?”… in addition to various other comments made regarding casting out devils. Can it be assumed that if such healings are taking place, they are from God or should we doubt in them and link them to the devil? can the devil do such things??? Please i would appreciate having biblical references – if any – showing the powers of the devil esp. in healings that take place within God’s people.

First I would like to say that my wife and I find your essays to be very insightful. Our question for you is this, do animals go to heaven? We looked at another site that says it shows proof that they do and gave us a few verses we could look at. However, a couple of them we were able to disprove when we read the verses before and after what they had given us.

Re: The paradox of the great commission (so to speak). I have my own view on this but you seem to be very knowledgeable so I am interested in your ideas. Before Jesus people lived under the law but I assume that only applied to the Jews since there were people before Moses and the law. My question is about what happens to the people before Moses or people during Moses time or people during Jesus time and people after Jesus that have never heard the gospel message? I have heard it said that all are saved that have not heard the message but if that were true then we should leave them in the dark, etc.

Are there any specific verses that you know of that would clearly tell us whether or not the Lead or Senior Pastor of a church should have final say in all matters of church direction or vision?

Also, any specific verses that tell us that a Lead or Senior Pastor should be compensated or treated differently that other Pastoral staff?
