Do you know when Israel will resume the giving away of land to Palestinians?

Hey, thanks so much for taking the time to answer questions. It helps out so much!

In one of your replies to a question about God being both male and female, you mentioned that the Church and Christ are modeled by the man and woman getting married.

I was thinking about it, and since a man and woman make a baby, what do the Church and Christ make? I know this question may seem a little odd, but I’ve been told that great things come in threes, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Trilogies of books are often good, and man, woman, and child. I feel that the Church and Christ wouldn’t be complete without a third part, am I wrong?

Thank you so much again, and God bless!

What is the significance of August 22 in Islam, and why did the President of Iran choose that day to respond to UN demands that Iran curtail their nuclear program?

This concerns the war of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. We know this could not happen until Israel thinks it is living in peace and safety. I have more of an observation than a question for you to comment on. I find it hard to believe that the United States would allow this to even come close to happening especially when we have a sizable force currently in the region.

It will take a significant amount of time for a force the size of the one described in Ezekiel 38-39 to assemble for the invasion so it could not be a surprise attack. I feel that something really bad has to happen to the United States to require our resources to be used somewhere else or something happens that destroys a lot of our resources to prevent us from interceding. If the Rapture happens before this war that would explain the United States lack of resources. Or the United States can have a catastrophic natural event such as an earthquake on the New Madrid fault.

What do you think keeps the United States out of this conflict? Thank you for your valuable insights.

I found your site a few months ago and now I’m here everyday reading the question and answer section.

My question is regarding Ez.39:9. If Russia, Iran, etc, etc, invade Israel midway in the tribulation, will Israel be burning their weapons into the millennium? Do you believe this war could occur before the rapture or soon after?

Another question…..I have been listening to End time ministries for awhile. I am pre-trib to the core and I am astounded at some of the things this guy comes up with. He said the other day that the first five trumpet judgments have already taken place. Does this guy think we are in the first half of the tribulation?

I thank the Lord for your site.

My son-in-law leads a local group of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. One of the Catholic girls expressed her belief that there are big and small sins. He knows that all sin is sin and must be repented of and confessed. He said they would talk about it this Sunday.

Do you have some special teaching or insight that would make it clear to her what the truth really is? Thank you so much for your help.

(A popular author and church leader) and others have been quoted as saying that Bible fundamentalism is a real danger to the church. Your thoughts?

God Bless your web site! It is very insightful and I find myself reading your questions and answers very interesting.

I do have a question. I am a Christian and I have tired to quit smoking several times and can’t seem to get victory in this area. I know that the rapture is going to happen soon, will I miss it because I can’t seem to quit?

Also, does it say somewhere in prophecy that Palestinians will never Have a state? Thanks again

I would be curious at to why you think the Rapture is a secret event. When I look at verses like 1 Thes 4:16-17 it seems literally clear that God will be coming loud with trumpets etc. Is it possible that the “thief in the night” could refer to Christ coming unexpectedly rather than silently?

I’ve written to you a couple of times before and have found your answers to be wise and biblical. So, I want to ask you something concerning my Messianic Jewish belief. I am aware that you were a part of a Messianic congregation from one of you posts.

My question is this: Are Jews still required to keep the feasts, eat kosher, and observe the Sabbath or were all these things done away with when Jesus died on the cross? My congregation still observes all the feasts and Holy days. Many eat kosher(some more strict then others), and they have services on Friday night and Saturday morning.

Lately, I have been searching for a new congregation because my Messianic one is so far away from me and it’s getting expensive. Not to mention if I try to make Torah studies and prayer meetings. Most of the Christian congregations tell me it’s no longer required to do these things(other then attending services). I just want to do what is right.

As I read it, Jesus and the disciples followed the laws and kept the feasts. Wouldn’t this mean, that everyone who considers themselves a follower of Jesus to do the same? I know in Acts the issue of circumcision was brought up for Gentiles. They basically said to keep some of the laws but not all of them, not the ones that applied to Jews anyway.

So where does a Messianic Jew stand? I sort of feel I’m in between two drawn swords, the Christian community on the one side, and the Torah observant Jews on the other. Any guidance you can offer will be appreciated.
