The Sign Of Jonah

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: October 18, 2006)
Q

When the Pharisees asked for a sign, the Lord Jesus said in Matthew:

12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Why then the scribes and Pharisees did not say anything about what the Lord said? I mean, did they understand that the Lord will die and come back after 3 days? Did they not know that Jonah died inside the belly of fish and was raised back?

The Jewish View Of Zechariah 12:10

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: October 18, 2006)
Q

I have a question about Genesis 18:1. It says that three men appeared to Abraham and that he fed them. Is this the Trinity? Does God eat?

Also, in Zechariah 12:10 when it says they will look upon Him who they pierced and they will mourn, why don’t the Jews make the connection between that prophecy and Jesus? How do they explain it? Thank you for all your help.

About The Trinity

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: October 24, 2006)
Q

I have a question about the Trinity. What do you think happened to the Trinity at the crucifixion – if Jesus was separated from His father by bearing the sins of mankind? Also if Jesus took everyone’s sin does that mean he descended into Hell before being resurrected and if so was that as Triune?

Who’s In Charge Here?

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: October 26, 2006)
Q

Hello and thank you so much for your website. It has been a blessing to me and I hope you continue it as long as you are able.

I’ve read what you wrote about “Why bad things happen to good people” and I still don’t find it very clear. One reason I’d like to have a clear answer is because my parents (who are not believers) ask me this all the time and I can never explain myself well enough for them.

Is the reason for bad things happening to good people because of Adam and Eve’s first sin? Are you saying that Satan is, in fact, ruling the earth right now and that is why bad things happen? So does this mean that God is not in charge of the earth right now, but Satan is?

Also, another question I’d like to be able to answer to my unbelieving parents is this: If God created us in His image and is all-knowing, why did he create Adam and Eve with the propensity to sin in the first place? God is more powerful than Satan, so why did Satan prevail here (by getting Adam and Eve to sin)? Thank you so much for your time.

Feast Days And Sabbaths

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: January 7, 2014)
Q

My question is: Why do we no longer celebrate The Feast Days, and Sabbath? If I am correct, Jesus freed us from this part of the old covenant, however many say we are not exempt from honoring them. Also many say we should still have Saturday as our worship day rather than Sunday.

Observing Levitical Feasts

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: April 6, 2015)
Q

My husband has become quite enthralled with the Messianic movement. I enjoy the services and love to read how the different feasts relate to the Christ. My husband has been observing the feasts listed in Lev. 23. Since it says 4 times in that chapter regarding the feasts that “It is to be a perpetual statue in throughout your generations” he claim that God has meant for us to observe these feasts as well. The “throughout your generations” is what is emphasized. Would you explain this to me, please? I can’t argue with the Scriptures but I thought Jesus fulfilled the Law.

Saving My Jewish Family

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: October 18, 2006)
Q

As a Jew and believer in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior … It is needless to say that I get many twisted looks from family and friends … If I had a dollar for all the “rolling of eyes” I get … However, my concern is that my family and loved ones won’t be saved since they deny Christ … I find it disheartening that I am looked on as a “sellout” or “crazy” …

I had a conversation with my father the other day and I asked him if he could have dinner with one person, whom would he choose. He said Moses because he has a lot of questions to ask a man who spoke with God. I said that is a good answer. He asked me who I would choose. I said Jesus. He asked me why, since Jesus came after Moses. I told him that Jesus came before Moses. The look on his face was of shock and disbelief. I don’t even think he understood where I was coming at first and when he did he just shook his head.

I pray that the cloud concealing The Truth is lifted from them but it has come to the point where I just rather not even speak about it anymore. I tell myself this is the devil trying to keep me from bringing salvation to family and friends but I don’t know what I can do.

What do you think?? It is so sad how the Chosen People are blind to their own Messiah. What a trick the devil has played on my people. Thank you and God bless you!!

Body And Spirit

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: October 18, 2006)
Q

Job 14:12, Dan. 12:13, John 3:13, 5:28 and some others seem to indicate we are asleep until awakened at the resurrection. How do you understand these scriptures? True the bible says absent from the body present with the lord, but when? When we awake at his calling. John 3:13 says no one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven etc.

Fighting Bride?

Published: September 29, 2016 (Originally published: October 23, 2006)
Q

Pastor Jack, Thank God for you. You have been a major blessing. God is mightily pouring His wisdom out to us – His church – through a willing vessel like you. God bless you.

I have a question. We had a guest speaker come to our church. A very anointed man of God – he shared with us a vision that God showed him about the end time battle. I wasn’t able to quiet get the picture. (Summary of the vision) Is this the Bride of Christ returning during the war of Armageddon? If yes, will the bride face death? I want to understand this clearly. Can you help?
