My question is where are the Dinosaurs and Cavemen in the bible? There is physical proof that they existed on earth but there is no mention of them in the Bible.

I’ve read in several of your answers that you believe all children under the age of accountability will be taken during the rapture,even the children of non Christian parents. And I think that is wonderful as the more that can escape the tribulation the better. My question is simply this, that if the children of the wicked were left to die with their parents during Noah’s flood and at Sodom/Gomorrah. Why would the children of non Christians be taken at the rapture? Is there scripture that leads you to believe this? Thank you for a magnificent and informative site, I admire your work and dedication very much.

I’ve read in several places that the only ones at the Great White Throne judgment (Rev. 20:11-15) will be all of the “unsaved” dead throughout time. But I have always had a question about that. If the church is judged at the Bema Seat (to receive awards), when are the OT saints judged? Also, what about the people that live through the tribulation and go into the millennium to repopulate the Earth? When do those people and their descendants get judged? Will those that trust in Christ for salvation during the millennium receive sinless eternal bodies like the “Church” will receive at the rapture? If these people will not be present at the Great White Throne judgment, then why would Jesus even bother opening the Lamb’s Book of Life? If only those whose names are not written in the Book at present, why would He even need to check?

I haven’t written with a question in a long time…but I’m still praising God everyday when I read your articles and timely responses to readers questions. You can’t imagine the number of times I have silently “high fived” you with a “good answer, Jack”. You continue to bless me with your anointed insight to explaining scripture in the most elemental ways. I recently lost my wonderful husband of 38 years. We made promises to meet again just “inside the eastern gate.” My thoughts frequently go to the fact that he (soul and spirit) is already with our Saviour, even though his earthly body is still here on earth. (Absent from the body / present with the Lord.) My wonderings are along this line…is he already in his mansion (room) ? What is he doing while he waits for the rapture (or death) to bring me up ? Are there any clues in scripture as to what everone already there is doing while they wait ?

I was raised in the church and taught a “Dispensational and pre-tribulational” view. I still believe it to the depths of my soul and believe Scripture teaches it. However, when I see things written today about what will take place, such as the Rapture, etc, it comes across “cultic.” Suddenly it sounds ridiculous like we’re some sort of “Heavens Gate” cultist’s waiting for the ultimate alien to rescue us. When I was growing up it didn’t come across that way, why now? I don’t like that and I ask the Lord to help me see it the way he does.

I have been thinking about your response regarding the Holy Spirit during the Tribulation and have this question. How will those who are left know, or how will they learn that their salvation will depend on their faithfulness to God during this time.?

It seems to me that those poor souls who are left will be set up for failure as 1. they are mostly ignorant of things spiritual and 2. won’t have the comfort of knowing they are ‘sealed’ by the Holy Spirit when they do believe.

My son is 19 years old with many ideas, hopes and dreams for his future. I remember how I felt at his age. He wants to experience life as he knows it and serve the Lord here. I told him that the Lord has wonderful work for us to do when we are raptured. What do you think we will be doing after the rapture? What does the Bible say about this? Obviously things on earth will be heating up. Will we be dispatched to serve Him in any way?

I get very confused regarding the millennium, heaven, who goes where and what happens after the 1000 years. Let’s just take me for example: As a true believer, I will be raptured shortly. I will go from my kitchen to heaven. Will I stay in heaven for 1000 years? Will I be able to communicate with people living here on this earth during that time? (my family members may get left behind, yet make it through the tribulation as believers and be on earth, while I am in heaven)

Will Jesus be walking among both the people on earth and in heaven? And after the 1000 years, will we then all be together? What happens to the souls of the people who live through the trib, and then die during the 1000 years on earth? Why is this so confusing? Is there a reason that the bible is such a riddle and the answers so obscure?

I thank you for your dedication to the Lord and His word. I hope you don’t mind but I use some of your Q & A’s that address basic issues in my jail ministry. They are very helpful. My question is regarding the idea we will be watching the great tribulation from heaven like we had some grandstand seat to a sporting event. I spent nearly two years in combat and 22 years as a street cop. I’ve seen mans inhumanity toward man. I’ve seen mans horror until I cried out to the Lord to ” please let someone kill me tonight, I don’t want to see any more”. This I did many times.

Thankfully the Lord didn’t answer that prayer. He did however answer my prayer to return to me some of my innocence. I am sickened by the thought of a heavenly view of the great tribulation. I find it hard to believe God’s will is for us to watch such a thing. I have clung to Isaiah 26:20-21 believing in my heart God didn’t want us to see. Tell me sir, have I clung to this in vain.

Thank you for your faithful work at gracethrufaith.com. I have a simple question concerning divorce and re-marriage. My wife and I are ending our 25 year relationship. All of our children are grown and out on their own. There was no un-faithfulness, as far as I know, but we have simply never been compatible in the least and just never seemed to mature together as a couple. Neither one of us wants to continue in the marriage. What are Gods instructions concerning re-marriage under these circumstances?
