Sheep And Goats, National Or Personal?

Published: January 28, 2015
Q

I think I understand all the judgments as to when and where they will occur and who will be involved. However, I am having a problem determining exactly what is the judgment of the nations. Is it in conjunction with the Sheep and Goat judgment? Is it called the judgment of the nations because all the people living at the end of the Great Tribulation from their various nations will be called to this judgment? I know that whole nations, as well as individuals, have been judged by the way they have treated the Jewish people. Will whole nations be judged or just on an individual basis within these nations? Thank you for the time you spend answering our questions. It has certainly been a blessing to me.

Q

If am saved, born again and Christ comes and finds me in sin like anger or evil desires or in adultery then does it mean I will not go to heaven?


Confused About The Rapture

Published: January 27, 2015
Q

I read your study on “Confirming The Sequence Of End Times Events”, and it it you say, “neither God’s revelation to Israel nor the emergence of the anti-Christ can happen until the Church is gone.” Yet in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8 speaks of us being gathered to him and that day won’t come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed… And in verse 8 it talks of the the lawless one being revealed and destroyed by the splendor of the Lord Jesus’ coming. How can he be destroyed by the 2nd coming if he hasn’t been revealed yet? Do you think the rapture and the second coming are separate? Wouldn’t Jesus have to come 3 times then?


Prophecy Interrrupted

Q

When I compared Luke 4:18-21 with Isaiah 61:1-2 I discovered it was incomplete. Why did the Lord stop reading before the end of the passage?


The Cherubim And The 24 Elders

Published: January 26, 2015
Q

I have come across a point that was raised to me on a message board, and have looked all over the place for an answer, and have remained stumped. The group raising the point wants to know why the 4 living creatures are singing the song in Rev. 5:8-10 if the 24 elders are the church? In other words, why would the 4 living creatures sing this song, since they weren’t redeemed by the blood of Christ?? Their argument is that the 24 elders are angels. I see them as the church because of the excellent reasons you mentioned in your articles, but again I have remained stumped on why the 4 living creatures are signing as well?? Can you shed any light on this?? Thank you and God bless.


Why The Rapture Will Precede Ezekiel 38

Published: January 26, 2015
Q

I have long believed (because of my previous denominational upbringing and family influence) that the events of Ezekiel 38 would happen before the Rapture, which of course wouldn’t happen until the preaching of the Gospel to the world was complete. This site has effectively changed my mind on the stance of the preaching of the Gospel issue. I really would like to believe that the Rapture is going to take place before Ezekiel 38’s events take place, but I need more just Romans 11:25 to go on. Can you provide more basis for this claim (either in a direct response or point me to where it currently exists on the site?) I would like to know how you came to this conclusion.


The Seed Of The Woman

Published: January 26, 2015
Q

I know Genesis 3:15 is the first reference to a coming redeemer, but my question relates to the comment in that verse where I understand God is speaking to Satan and says “And I will put enmity…between your seed and her seed”. I know what “her seed” is, in reference to many generations to follow. But what does it mean when God says of “your seed” (Satan’s)?


When Were the Angels Created?

Published: January 25, 2015
Q

Is there any specific scriptural reference to when angels were created? Can you provide any Biblical interpretation of the era when God created angelic beings in comparison to the creation of man, and when do you think the angelic rebellion took place?


The Great Falling Away

Published: January 24, 2015
Q

In the end times, there’s supposed to be a great falling away. But I have no clue if it’s people of the Lord falling away, or just people in general not coming to the Lord. What do you think? What does scripture have to say? Thank you so much.


Are Satan And The Anti-Christ The Same?

Published: January 24, 2015
Q

Are Satan and the anti-Christ the same person?

Also, If God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the same person why do we say and I will sit at the right hand of God the father? How can that be?
