What Does This Prophecy Mean?

Published: June 16, 2020 (Originally published: May 27, 2010)
Q

Thank you for your awesome website. I have recently been baptized, when I was prayed for the lady praying for me had a prophetic word. She said I would stand tall like the trees of Lebanon. I’m not really sure what that means. Is there any scripture in the Bible about this topic?

Different Races. Follow Up

Published: October 21, 2012 (Originally published: October 20, 2012)
Q

Re: the different races. I have argued that races were man made not from God. I use Act 17:26 to defend this. “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” What do you think?

No More Sea?

Published: July 17, 2007 (Originally published: July 17, 2007)
Q

I appreciate your teachings and have learned a lot from your answers to various bible questions.

I just read your article “Thy Kingdom Come” and just wanted to clarify your thoughts on Revelations 21:1 “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” Is it your position that this occurs at the beginning of the 1000 years?

I guess I always assumed that their would be a completely new earth and that the one we currently inhabit would be destroyed however that thought does not fit with your analysis as I read it in your article. I would appreciate your thoughts on Revelations 21:1 and what you see happening to this earth at Christ’s second coming. (Physically coming because I know he is coming for the church before the tribulation). Will the oceans disappear and yet the new earth will still have the Mediterranean and Dead Sea? Thank you for your thoughts and insights.

Extreme Weather And The End Times

Published: September 29, 2014 (Originally published: July 28, 2007)
Q

I just saw on CNN news that Europe is experiencing extreme weather conditions, floods, droughts and heat. As you know the USA is also experiencing extreme weather. I would like to know if you believe this has to do with the end times. It seems peculiar that it is the USA and Europe since we are the nations that might be trying to get Israel to divide Jerusalem. I have also noticed that the news does not seem to talk about the weather conditions as much as one would think if it is as severe as it seems.

Not Sure My Husband Is Saved

Published: July 3, 2008 (Originally published: July 3, 2008)
Q

My husband has supposedly received Christ. He teaches Sunday School (mainline denomination) and has even been on the “Walk to Emmaus” spiritual retreat. However, he is very liberal in his thinking and the CBS Evening News presented findings about the percentage of Christians and non-Christians alike who believe that other religions offer a way to salvation other than Jesus. My husband watched it with great interest and said when it was over that “he hadn’t been struck by lightning” for watching the program.

What can I say to him? He thinks my “obsession” with prophecy is just that – an obsession! If he continues on this path of other options what will happen to him? I firmly believe the end-time puzzle pieces are “floating” into place every day. The worldly part of me wants to tell him that he is going to get left behind, but he will not listen to that. I have to wonder if he really is saved!!!

Thank you so much for your website. I read it every day and gain so much spiritually because you lead us right back to the Word!!!

The Rise And Fall Of The West

Published: July 10, 2008 (Originally published: July 10, 2008)
Q

I firmly believe that the world view of an individual is based on his spiritual condition and how important the Word of God is in his life. Because of this belief, I have encountered an argument that I have no answer on.

I believe that what the West is experiencing (innovations and technology, wealth, “stable” governments, “relative” peace, etc) is part of their spiritual heritage and what the East, Middle-east, South-America and Africa is experiencing is due to their worship of pagan gods. The eroding of the Western society is because they have turned their back on God, His word and principles.

The argument used against my view is: “Look at the great civilizations of the past – Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon, Greece, Romans, etc. and the more modern Napoleon, even Hitler and the communist regimes? There was the same things as in the West (innovations and technology, wealth, “stable” governments, “relative” peace, etc) and their end was the same as what the end of the West will be.”

How do I answer this?

Sin, Salvation, And Rewards

Published: June 17, 2020 (Originally published: October 12, 2013)
Q

My question is related to eternal security. In one of your responses, I read that when we are saved, it’s for eternity and there is no way we can be “unsaved”. However, several passages in the Bible warn against falling off or having to “work out our salvation” (Philippians 2:12), or “save ourselves through continuing in the doctrine” (1 Timothy 4:16), or loosing the reward (2 John 1:8), even the book of Revelations mentions “taking away the part from the book of life” (Revelations 22:19).

These passages and many others show that one may loose his reward if he falls off. As a saved person, I will still sin because of my human nature. However in 1 John 3:9, the apostle says that whoever is born of God does not sin and cannot sin. This is a bit confusing too. Suppose after I am saved, I sin and die before confessing my sins committed before I die, what will happen? Will I loose my reward?

Why Does God Intervene Sometimes And Not Others?

Published: June 17, 2020 (Originally published: March 5, 2015)
Q

I have been a believer for 27 years. Something has been on my mind for a long time and have never had the guts to ask. But here goes. In the case of rape, murder, abuse, etc. it seems God sometimes intervenes and sometimes He doesn’t. I know God loves both the victim and the criminal with a love we can never understand this side of eternity. Can you please help me understand why it’s OK for Him to stop attacks like this sometimes and not others?

Angry With God For 40 Years

Q

My sister lost a baby girl through crib death over forty years ago, and still the pain persists. She has often asked me why God took her daughter. I have to admit that I don’t know, even though I know my niece is with our Father in Heaven. For all these years, my sister has been very angry with God about this. How do I answer her question without getting into an argument?

Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit

Published: June 19, 2020 (Originally published: January 27, 2015)
Q

Matthew 5:3 says “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” This almost indicates those poor in spirit will go to Heaven while I have always believed to go to Heaven you must accept Christ as your savior which would indicate one must have spirit.
