Your article on ‘confirming the sequence of end time events’ with the Psalm 83 prophecy really interested me. I found that the same nations mentioned in Psalm 83 were also prophesied against in Ezekiel chapter 25-26. In Ezekiel 29 is a judgment against Egypt and in verse 11 it declares that Egypt will not be inhabited for 40 years. I am interested in how this would fit in with the end time events and your thoughts on the timing of the rapture. Could this mean that there will have to be at least 40 more years after it’s destruction till the 7 year tribulation period?

When the Lord states that “no man knows the day or hour”, could this possibly be a reference to the Feast of Trumpets/ Rosh Hashanah? This day, from my limited understanding, was celebrated by the first full moon which no one knew exactly when that would be. Men would literally be on “look-out” for the full moon. Depending upon what they saw, determined when the Feast was celebrated. Am I reading too much into this, or is it possibly a hint of when the rapture could occur?

Revelation 4:7 mentions four beasts that are before God’s throne. One has the face of a man, one is like a calf, one is like an eagle and one is like a lion. However, I’ve seen those images used many times around the borders of tarot cards and in various astrology charts. As you know, in astrology, the lion represents Leo, the man Aquarius, the eagle (or sometimes scorpion) Scorpio, and the bull represents Taurus. I’m wondering if a) these images are connected to the constellations Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio, and if not, b) were they corrupted and incorporated into pagan practices such as tarot card reading and astrology? I’m curious to hear your opinion on this.

This may seem silly, but I can’t help but ask. In Psalm 22:21 I see the word unicorns in KJV. Does this mean horse-like unicorns did used to exist or are they speaking of another creature? I’m sorry for the pointless question but I’m curious to say the least.

In a recent question about praying for our president you mentioned that we have the option of praying that his eyes be opened and that God forgive him for what he is doing. My question is this: If what the president is doing is something that needs to be forgiven, it is a sin–will our prayers that someone else be forgiven for sinning actually accomplish forgiveness? I thought we can only ask for, and receive, forgiveness for our own sins.

I am a born again Christian, however my family is not. Does Acts 16:31 apply to my family because I believe in Christ Jesus? The reason for my question is because my Mom is from Thailand. I know she believes in God but she doesn’t understand that salvation is through Jesus. I’ve tried to explain it to her but I don’t think I’ve been successful. If Act 16:31 doesn’t apply to a believer and his family, can you explain (put in context) the passage for me. Thanks for your wonderful words of wisdom and the encouragement you have given me through your website.

In Exodus 17:8-14 why did Moses choose to stand at the top of the hill holding the staff of God in his hand? Why did Aaron and Hur stand on each side of Moses, holding up his hands?

I thoroughly enjoy reading the various questions on your site. I have a rather controversial one. A local church in the area recently booted a member out of the church. This member, a Christian and member of this church for years was living in unrepentant sin, was not willing to change, and after numerous meetings and counseling from the pastors they decided to boot this person out. Is that Biblical and should that still be practiced today? It seems harsh of this church.

If somebody wants a marriage based on love and falls in love is it wrong? I mean loving somebody who is a Christian and who knows Jesus as his/ her personal savior. So meeting each other before marriage, hugging, kissing, is that wrong in any sense ?

Although I really enjoyed your posting, I have a question that has always bothered me. If God destroyed all mankind with the flood and only saved Noah and his family…then aren’t we all really descendants from Noah, which in turn would make all of us part Jewish?
