The Timing Of Revelation 21-22
Published: August 30, 2006 (Originally published: August 30, 2006)In your commentary of Revelation chapter 21, you quoted Isaiah 65:20 by saying: “The vast oceans, silent witnesses to the enormity of Noah’s flood will be hoisted back into the outer atmosphere, restoring the water vapor canopy that protected early man and allowing the return of long life spans they experienced. (Isaiah 65:20)”.
The statement, ” allowing the return of long life spans they experienced”, in my opinion, based on Revelation 21: 4 which says, “…there shall be no more death…” is not quite correct. I believe Isaiah 65:20 is referring to the millennium period.
First The Rapture, Then The Temple
Published: August 30, 2006 (Originally published: August 30, 2006)I have been wondering, after reading many of your articles, do you think that the temple could be built before the church is raptured?
The reason I ask this is because I have come to understand that Christ inhabits the temple … but He is already inhabiting us (the believers) could it be possible that He won’t inhabit the temple again until He raptures us?
Peace At Any Price?
Published: August 31, 2006 (Originally published: August 31, 2006)Hi, I really appreciate and enjoy your ministry, and perhaps you can provide some guidance for me on a particular issue concerning Christians who misinterpret the Bible and constantly spew “give peace a chance” pabulum. I have been continually excoriated by a handful of misguided Christians who are against all war and think that we should never stand up for ourselves and piously recite passages from the Bible to support their peacemaker dream sequences.
I realize that we live in an imperfect, fallen world, where Satan is doing his best to steal the souls of mankind. This is not going to change until Jesus returns, despite the best efforts of the Dominion/Kingdom Now groups. Man chose to go against God and do things his own way, and wars have been the end result ever since. War is hell for a reason, and no one ever wants to go to war. But, as stewards of the earth, we cannot let the weapons of Satan destroy the whole world (I am thinking of the Iranian Hitler and his nuclear capabilities).
I do not pine for the demise of any of the innocent and pray that those who live in the darkness of a religion that lacks hope will see the light, but we cannot acquiesce our own destruction in the meantime.
Is the Church not the restrainer of evil? Am I incorrect in thinking this? I am just tired arguing with these Christians who would rather put on a burka and grovel at the feet of the terrorists. I am also tired of being equated to the Nasrallahs of the world, as though I am somehow equally radical. Ha! Thus, I humbly request some guidance on this, as I have reached a boiling point of frustration.
Resurrection Of Old Testament Saints
Published: September 1, 2006 (Originally published: September 1, 2006)I just finished reading your excellent article on “Defending the Pre Trib Rapture Again” I appreciated your research very much. I would point out that I believe you quoted Daniel 12:2 as to when Old Testament Saints will be resurrected at the end of the tribulation. I think if you look at the gospels they show the old testament saints in Abraham’s bosom and they are resurrected when Christ is, that is why many graves were open and were seen by living people.
Is The Rapture A False Teaching?
Published: September 1, 2006 (Originally published: September 1, 2006)I have been hearing and reading that many people believe that the rapture is a false teaching started by a minister and a woman who had a dream in the 1800’s. This is especially held by (a well known radio personality). I really respect him and was devastated to hear this. What scriptures do pre-trib believers base their convictions on?
Great Tribulation Shortened?
Published: September 3, 2006 (Originally published: September 3, 2006)Thank you very much for your website, I could spend a thousand words describing its blessing in my life. Instead, I have a question. Matthew 24: 15 – 22 Jesus references Daniel specifically, who was precise in his dates and time, and timing. Jesus says “those days” will have to be cut short to preserve creation. What’s the deal here? So Daniel’s prophetic days will be “cut short”? Again, what is the thing that Jesus is saying?
God Richly Bless You and Yours!
Post Flood Migration
Published: August 23, 2006 (Originally published: August 23, 2006)I have 2 questions that I have been wondering about for some time and would like to know if you have any thoughts on the subject.
During the flood, God destroyed all human and animal life. I am assuming that the sea creatures were not destroyed. If not, why were they spared the judgment? My second question is after the flood civilization would have again started somewhere in the middle east and the people and animals would have migrated from there to fill the earth. The people and animals that inhabited North and South America presumably got here by crossing the bearing straight when it was frozen and migrated south. How did all of the tropical animals of the south American jungles such as the snakes, frogs, lizards etc migrate through all of the cold regions to reach that area. If the regions weren’t cold yet, How did they cross the Bearing Straight?
I have heard arguments that the global flood was global only to the extent that it killed all of the humans and animals associated with them, but that it didn’t kill the animals the God had placed in other locations on the planet, Then after the flood, humans would have been the only ones who needed to migrate throughout the earth. Any thoughts on this?
Are Messianic Jews Raptured?
Published: August 24, 2006 (Originally published: August 24, 2006)Will Messianic Jews be taken in the rapture along with Gentile believers or are they considered part of a different group?
Merry Christmas?
Published: August 25, 2006 (Originally published: August 25, 2006)I came across your web-site very recently, and I think it is not a mistake but for some purpose I came across you site. There are no accidents in the Kingdom of our Lord.
My question to you is on the subject of Christmas approaching very fast. I have been celebrating this event since I was a child and since “I was born again”, I came to know the Lord very closely. I personally feel that as a follower of Christ, we should stop celebrating this event which have been handed over to us from generation to generation.
I need to know your comments about this event. Whether we should celebrate or not? If we are to celebrate, why?
Your mails have been an immense blessings to me and many others. May the Almighty God bless your good work.
The Last Trump
Published: January 12, 2014 (Originally published: August 25, 2006)On the page “Defending The Pre-Trib Rapture (Again)” you make this statement;
“Don’t try to use the trumpet reference in verse 52 to pin the timing down. There are several “Last Trumpets” in the Bible and in Jewish tradition. This verse just means it’s the last trumpet we’ll hear before we’re changed. ”
Could you provide some backup to this please?
