Jewish Temple Found?

Published: April 19, 2007
Q

I have read that the sanctuary of the old Jewish temple has been found in excavation work under the dome of the rock, and I had the thought – could this be where the beast will declare himself to be God. Would there be need for a new Jewish temple to be built?


Ezekiel 38 And Armageddon

Published: April 18, 2007
Q

I am confused about the difference between Ezekiel 38 &39 and the war of Armageddon. Some say it is the same thing others say no, they are two different wars. It seems to me they are two different wars. but I’m no scholar. Which is correct?

Q

First, let me thank you for your willingness to be a vessel. My husband got me into your website and it has become part of morning routine to study with you. It has been a real blessing.

As for my question: what is Documentary Hypothesis? You mentioned it in part 12 of the Romans’ study.

Thank you again for sharing all that you have been shown. I’m looking forward to meeting you There!


Rapture Timing

Published: April 5, 2007
Q

First of all, thank you for your wonderful ministry, and may the Lord bless you.

I’m sorry to submit yet another question on this topic, but I’m very confused. I’ve read a great deal about the interpretation of the word “generation”, and its starting point, e.g. the nation of Israel being restored, and Jerusalem coming under Jewish control for the first time in nearly two thousand years. I’m also mindful of the dates 2018-2037 being mentioned.

My confusion stems from the fact that many pastors, etc, are talking as if the rapture could occur at any moment, even before I finish this question (which would suit me just fine!).

I find it difficult to reconcile a (possible) immediate rapture to those dates (2018-2037) previously mentioned. can you help?


Gog, Magog And The Anti-Christ

Published: April 4, 2007
Q

Thanks again for all your wonderful insights, may the Lord bless you.

Something has been bugging me lately about the whole Gog/Magog war, the treaty and the anti-Christ.

Ezekiel 38:23 “I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the LORD.”‘ Ezekiel 39:21-22 “And I will set My glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them. And the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God from that day onward.”

So if the whole world and Israel knows that God delivered Israel from her enemies why would they sign a treaty with the anti-Christ?


The Four Horsemen And The Four Cherubim

Published: April 2, 2007
Q

In Revelation 6 at the breaking of the first 4 seals the horsemen are ushered in by the living creatures (I can only assume they’re the same creatures from chapter 4) I have heard it taught that the animals the creatures resembled were symbolic of the tribes of Israel (specifically the 4 that camped to the immediate north, east, south and west of the tabernacle) If that’s not right, then I guess that blows my question right out of the water right there, but if that’s true, would there be any relevance to the relationship between the creature that calls out its specific horseman and that horseman’s “mission”? i.e. would there be a reason that the lion-type creature (Judah) would usher in Anti-christ?


Watching And Waiting

Q

I found your article Seven major signs of the Second Coming – Thank You very helpful– Be careful however to not set dates- Jesus himself said he did not know. Yes, current events point to His coming soon — I pray that He will !!


Babylon And The Rapture

Published: April 2, 2007
Q

If Babylon must be rebuilt to the point that is has the clout required to satisfy the descriptions given in Revelation 18 like “Was there ever a city like this great city?”, how can the Rapture be imminent? What is the minimum possible time for Babylon to be built from its present status to that of a major political and economic center? Could it be done in less than the seven year time required for the Tribulation? Or is the Rapture not imminent?


Anti-Christ And The Four Horsemen

Published: April 2, 2007
Q

We know that the Antichrist is introduced in Revelation 13. Then who is the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6? And who are the other three? Are the four riders of the apocalypse an overview of the Tribulation, and then broken down in phases later in the book?
