Is There Any Hope For My Mother?
Published: May 23, 2009My mother had a 13 year affair with my husband. Needless to say my marriage was over. My Daddy would not believe she did anything wrong, because that is what she told him. He had a nervous break down and died young of heart problems.
Mother was telling me she had done nothing wrong and would not admit to the truth. I called our pastor to come to her house so she could tell him what she had been telling us. She told him “I have done nothing wrong.” He asked, “Her to explain to him how she could commit adultery and not feel bad about it.” She replied, “On my way to meet him I asked God to forgive me. Afterward I would repent for what I had done wrong, so I have not committed any sin.” The pastor, told her that if she believed she had not done anything wrong she had been turned over to a reprobate mind. She started crying and saying, “there is no hope for me.”
She has had an affair with one of the pastors of the local church, with one of the deacons and then again with another family member and this is what we know of. She has never show any remorse, it has been just as if “Oh well.” I am so wanting to find some kind of fruit of repentance. She is in her late 70’s and is conniving and deceptive, lies is just mean to her daughters and causes confusion.
Question: Can you give me any hope?
Destroying The Temple Mount
Published: May 23, 2009Your explanation concerning the destruction of the Temple Mount when the Mount of Olives is divided makes perfect sense. All the pieces of the puzzle fit together and the river flowing from the south side of the Temple into the valley makes it impossible for the puzzle to be resolved in any other way.
Yet, I don’t see any other teacher of prophecy arriving at a similar conclusion. They all talk about the Third Temple being on Temple Mount (although they stumble at what to do with the Muslim structures and the river flowing from the south side of the Temple (which they do not so much as mention).
So, I have to ask — Scripture is so clear, so explicit, how is it that only you interpret the plain words in that way? Are there not any other teachers who have arrived at the same conclusions?
What about the geology of the Jerusalem area? I have read that there is a clearly visible fault line across the Olivet from east to west, and I understand that it is part of the African Rift Valley. It should be apparent, or discoverable, as it runs across Jerusalem north of Temple Mount toward the Sea. So, where are the other witnesses of this clear phenomenon?
Explaining Our Absence
Published: May 23, 2009Many books and films have been created detailing what life might be like after the Rapture has occurred, and what explanations could be advanced for the disappearance of millions of people worldwide.
Apparently, the opponents of the Hadron Collider feared that this device would create a massive black hole which would destroy everything and everybody. Supposing they activated this device and the Rapture took place. The explanation might be that instead of creating one huge black hole, it created millions of mini black holes at random all over the earth. Those who were “taken” happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I understand that this device is planned for activation this Fall. Any thoughts?
King of Tyre Or Satan?
Published: May 21, 2009Thank you for your web site. What a great ministry! Would you comment on Eze 28:12 – 19? Is God speaking through the prophet to the king of Tyre or Satan?
Are We Gaining Or Losing?
Published: May 20, 2009Thank you so very much for answering questions so quickly!I love your site and if I miss even one day, I feel disconnected. So I’m always reading your site!
I do have one question though: I keep reading that, in the Middle East, Christian numbers are falling. Are we losing or gaining in numbers? They say that if a country use to have 20%, they now have only 2%. Should I be concerned about this? Thank you for your insight on everything, because without you I would be back at square one!!
Ezekiel 38 And Armageddon
Published: May 20, 2009I have read a few of your responses to the difference between the Magog war and Armageddon, but I ran across a site today that claims to have 50 reasons why they are one in the same. I was wondering if you could comment on this.
America In Prophecy?
Published: May 18, 2009Hi and thanks for your great insight. I really enjoy your studies.
I have always been puzzled about Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the statue representing the world empires. As great a country as America has been and being the only current world superpower, it’s puzzling why the “American” empire was not included when God revealed the empires that would rule before the return of the Lord. As great and powerful as our nation has been, you would think America would have been mentioned as one of the empires. Perhaps it’s because we won’t last long. Do have any insight on this subject?
My Country Right or Wrong?
Published: May 17, 2009I have a question. What should I do when my own country is pressuring Israel to give up more of the Holy Land? I am so distressed in these the last days, when my own country America, which I love, seems to be working against the plan of God in the Holy Land.
Push For Peace
Published: May 16, 2009Thank you for always doing such a remarkable job with your wonderful website. I tell everyone about it! What is your take on this push for peace, where all of these countries are now pressuring Israel to give away even more land for this so-called peace agreement? These leaders are really backing the new leadership in Israel into a corner. Thank you for all that you do, including your patience.
Ascension Day Rapture?
Published: May 16, 2009I have some thoughts on the possibility of an Ascension Day rapture. It seems that if the Lord wanted to send a strong message to the Jews and the rest of the unbelievers, as to Who did this (the rapture) and what happened to all the Christians/children, etc., that he would take us out on Ascension day. It would be like handing the whole world a tract. The Ascension also makes more sense than connecting the rapture to a Jewish Feast day because it shows the separate handling of the church and Israel. If the full number were already on board, this would be a good date because of the clear witness that it would leave to those left behind. Do you think this is a possibility?
