You wrote: “When Israel failed to recognize Jesus as their Messiah on the first Palm Sunday, He said that knowledge of Him would henceforth be hidden from their eyes. Zechariah 12:10 is a prophecy that tells us when their spiritual blindness will be lifted.”

Also, 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12, Paul writes: “For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”

Of course, this is a reference to the Anti-Christ and the delusion that will come over people so they believe in “him” instead of God. My question is, are these delusions “predictive” or “prescriptive?” Are these prophecies simply telling us what “will” be or did/will God actually “prescribe” them or make it/them happen?

In John 17:15, Jesus is praying to God “not that you take them [his disciples] out of the world” and in verse 20, He prayed “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message. ” I’ve seen these two verses combined to refute the rapture. What is your take on the context of these two verses?

Re: Romans 7:18-20. You said, “Paul sinned because he was a sinner. It was his nature to sin, and it’s ours too.” You have also said, “God knows that no matter how hard we try, we’ll fail to meet His righteous standard because we’re flawed. Our sin nature will always betray us.” Does this mean that Jesus also had a sin nature, and that He overcame it? Or did He just not have a sin nature?

The Lord Jesus came to die for our sins. Then why did He want to be betrayed by Judas? Just to fulfill a prophecy? What is the truth behind it?

I’ve been searching but haven’t come up with anything yet. Here’s my question, did the prophets of the Old Testament ‘miss it’ like so many of the self proclaimed prophets of today do?

Scripture tells us that “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends”. I believe it would require a greater love to lay down one’s life for someone who is not a friend … someone who is a stranger, or someone who is out to do you harm, or such. I think it would be much easier for someone to lay down their life for a friend then for one of these other types I mentioned. It has never made sense to me. Can you shed any light on this matter?

As a follow-up to the latest “Mid-Trib Rapture” Question: Do you believe that there is a distinction between “God’s Wrath” and the “Wrath of the Lamb”?

My question is: Where will be the location of the fallout from the Ezk. 38-39 war? When the Jews flee to Petra to escape the anti-christ mid way through the tribulation, will they follow a route that takes them near the catastrophic radioactive damage created by the Ezk. 38-39 war?

I’m 22 and graduating college. I know that Lord’s return can be any day now. Is it wrong that I feel conflicted about it? I want Him to return soon, but I also desire to have my own family and kids. What can I do so that I can remain strong in wanting Him more than family?

What do they mean when they say you can have peace with God? Can we really have peace with God?
