I’m looking forward to “Your Thoughts” on the Israeli political crisis, the Turkey political crisis, the Iranian / Syrian / Hezbollah coalition. Things are definitely heating up on several fronts! Always look forward to your perspective and insights on these matters.

I have been following the president’s progress towards globalization, and am alarmed! First, he signs the Real ID Act in 2005; in 2006, he signs an agreement with Canada and Mexico to form the North American Union; on 30 April of this year, he signed an “integration agreement” with the European Union, all without Congress ratification. Is it possible that the US could become part of the ten toes of clay and iron of the Revived Roman Empire?

What does the bible teach on the subject of career women? Specifically, is it biblical for a mother of a child (who has a husband as a provider), to seek an employment after when the child is ready to go to the kinder garden? Is this a choice that is left to the families, or is it something that God has a specific commend for?

I want to thank you for your ministry and your work that you do for our Lord Jesus Christ.

My question is this.

Matthew 24:19 says: And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Does this mean that during the tribulation (before the great tribulation) that women will be able to conceive and give birth? Or is this a symbolic message of some sort?

Thank you and GOD bless.

Every day is an adventure on your website. You don’t know how many you have helped with spiritual dilemmas. Thank you in advance.

My question is: Are there prophets in today’s Christian Church? Our small country church is coming under attack by an attender that is not a member according to our church constitution, who has apparently appointed himself as a prophet, and is defying our church leadership. He follows who many consider a heretic. He has disrupted board meetings, and may disrupt our services. How would you deal with a person like this?

I have a friend who I think is getting some bad teaching but when I try to discuss it with her she always quotes “Ye need not that any man teach you…” as if that means we are all indwelt by the Holy Spirit and He is the Teacher and she doesn’t need anyone else (save for the Holy Spirit) to show her anything. The problem is, I believe that is true, sort of.

1 John 2:27 says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”

Yet, the Lord has given us teachers who are specifically gifted by the Holy Spirit (Thank you, Jack.) to teach the body, and, the Lord Himself commands

Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

So, I’m hoping you can shed some light on the apparent discrepancy of “ye need not that any man teach you”, and, He has given us teachers and commands us to be teachers?

Two part question for “ask the Bible Teacher.”

1. I’ve recently had a discussion with someone concerning Mark 16:9-20. The footnote in my bible states that the oldest and more reliable manuscripts did not include these verses. What do you think of this?

2. Mark 16:17-18, “These signs will accompany those who have believed….” Then giving a list of the signs that “will” accompany those who believed, casting out demons, speaking in new tongues, picking up serpents, laying hands on the sick, and they “will” recover. It would seem that the writer was very forceful that these things “will” happen to those who have believed. I’m a full out believer in Christ, and I have never cast out any demons, spoke in a new tongue, and snakes scare me! What is your take on these few verses?

In the Ask a Bible Teacher’s Prophecy and Current Events question you said, “I don’t believe there’s any specific mention of Germany in prophecy”. I have been taught that Ezekiel 38-39 mentions Germany as Gomer. Is this wrong, and if so, can you tell me where Gomer actually is? Thank you so much and God Bless you and your wonderful ministry!!

Please could you clarify what you mean by ‘…alien hybrids inhabiting the earth….’ in your answer to “Human Alien Hybrids”? Do you think aliens actually exist and if so were they created by our God?

Re: Daniel 2:43. “They shall mingle themselves with the seed of man.” Who is it that tries to mingle with man in the 10 toes of iron and clay?
