Thank you for all you do with this site, it has helped immensely in my growth. I have read and heard two arguments on how Revelation should be understood – one is chronologically and the other is thematically. The second seems to boil down to the trumps and bowls happening really close together and the Day of Lord wrapping up in a day (or close too). After that New Jerusalem comes down to earth and we’re all good for a thousand years, then rebellion, then eternity. I am curious about your thoughts on this thematic business.

In recent years there have been so many prophecies of destruction coming to America.  I know we are in the end times but there are so many words of judgement and then on the other hand others are prophesying God will bless America again.   I was wondering what your take is on all this.  Are we past the point of no return?

Of all the people that lived from Adam until Jesus, did only some of the Jews look forward to Christ’s birth? Will there be no others that will be resurrected as the Old Testament saints? Thank you more than I can say for your website. You help me daily.

In Revelation 13 where the Bible says that the anti-christ “causeth” all to receive the mark. Can you please tell me the root meaning of causeth? There’s an article online about a man receiving an info chip in his hand and chatter in the comments says no one will be forced – alluding that people might take it and not realize they’re denying the Lord by doing so.

I am in a situation where I find myself questioning whether to tithe more or work on paying down my current debt. I am anxiously awaiting for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and want to give more back to Him out of gratitude for all He has done for me. Does the Bible provide any insight for a situation like mine?

Every church I’ve attended , the minister/vicar/priest always want everybody in the world to receive salvation. But surely that’s not possible is it? Is salvation really that easy? I personally believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins and I believe He is my savior.  But if everybody was to believe that (and I do mean everybody) then everybody would be raptured.  Maybe I’m just confused.

I have heard some teaching on the “latter rain” and that we are entering into the latter rain which will be a period of time before the end of days. Please explain what is the latter rain and how does it apply to the church? Appreciate your response and teaching on this subject.

Today I read that God buried Moses’ body in Moab, but later in scripture we find that Michael fought for the body of Moses.  How can this be? What good is a lifeless corpse?

I’m curious, how can a believer be sure he will be glorified in the last day? Does a believer have to be without sin, fear when he dies or is raptured? I hear preachers all the time say a person has to make sure things are right with God before He comes. What do you think about this?

Re: Hebrews 10:25 and 2 Thes. 2:1. Does the Greek word “episynagoge” in these two verses require a physical building?
