I have two questions regarding the millennium. If “the former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind” (Isa. 65:17) is spoken at end of the millennium and refers to eternity, does this mean the people of the nations will remember their loved ones and friends during the millennium? And secondly, I think Micah 4:5 is speaking about the millennium when it says, “all the nations may walk in the name of their Gods, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.” I understand that all who enter the millennium will be believers, but I assume that over time they will begin to seek and follow their own “gods.” Is this correct?

In the light of these two passages it just seems that the millennium, for the nations, will not be much different than it is now. Is this correct, and will the millennium only be strikingly different for the church and Israel? I’m sure that I am missing something here, because I always thought the millennium would be different for everyone.

I have a question about your answer to “I’m Confused”. You said the introduction of the anti-Christ doesn’t officially happen until the middle of the 70th week, several years after the Church is gone. I always thought the anti-Christ signs a peace agreement with the Jews at the beginning of the 7 years which he then breaks and establishes himself in the temple, the abomination of desolation. How can the peace agreement occur without the anti-Christ identifying himself? Can you clarify what is wrong with my thinking?

I don’t understand how you can claim that prophecy students and theologians can know when the Second Coming will take place when not even Jesus Christ himself knew. The only one who knows is God himself, so why do you and others, make such outrageous claims?

Thank you for your insightful words of wisdom that I constantly wait for weekly. My husband and I look forward to each and every article that will help us with our study and understanding of the Bible. One question that has come up recently is where in the Bible does either Jesus or someone else state that as born again Christians we must live in this fallen world but our hearts should be in heaven”? Or something like that. Your help in answering this is much appreciated.

In your answer to a question about the Holy Spirit you said, “After we’re raptured, we’ll no longer need the Holy Spirit to be sealed within us, since the event His presence guaranteed will have taken place. During the 70th week the Holy Spirit, having been released from the Church, will resume a ministry on Earth similar to the one He performed in Old Testament times. ” This scares me.

Adam did not have a sin nature, he was sinless. I don’t think that he wanted to sin in the beginning. He was without the Holy Spirit and he sinned to his destruction. Lucifer did not have a sin nature, he was sinless, and he sinned to his destruction. If the Holy Spirit is not needed because we have a sinless nature and don’t desire to sin, but leaves us to return to earth, how long can it be before we end up like Lucifer and Adam with a new mess on our heads for which there is no more sacrifice? Doesn’t forever mean forever?

RE: Romans 7: 14-25. Paul wrote that even though he tried to stop sinning he couldn’t. But then he said God viewed his sins as coming from his sin nature and not from him, as if “the devil made me do it.” How is that not a cop out?

I was discussing the rapture with some other guys. One of them said that (regarding 1 Thes. 4) there’s a shout and a trumpet, so how could the rapture be secret if there’s such a big fanfare right before it happens? Second, they said that John 14:2-3 could just as easily mean that we come back to earth to the New Creation in Rev. 21. It seems to me that there is a bunch of stuff being skipped over for that interpretation to work. Your thoughts?

I am a believer and a bible teacher. However, I struggle so badly with faith. For some reason I cannot grasp that God loves me and wants the best for me and He will carry me through no matter what. Does this mean that I am not saved if I cannot let go and completely trust?

Thanks for all you do in the name of our Lord. My question is about prayer furnaces. Pastors these days are saying that the prayer furnaces are mainly important because they will usher back the return of Christ. I haven’t seen anywhere in the Bible where this is true. Am I missing something?

I absolutely believe prayer in these last days is important. I understand that the true church will be weak, and it’s hard for me to accept that the church is going to be strong in the last days and their is going to be a huge revival on the heels of these prayer furnaces. What do you think?

In Acts 15:14-18 James said that before returning to rebuild David’s fallen tabernacle, Jesus will first take from among the Gentiles a people for himself. I have always believed he was referring to the Church which includes Jews who believe in Jesus during the church age even though they are not Gentiles. Is that correct?
