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.

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?

I just finished listening to a pastor talking about Luke 7 – the story of Jesus raising the widows son. Farther along in his message, he related an experience about praying for his deceased wife, for the Lord to bless her, and used 2 Timothy 4:19 in conjunction with 2 Timothy 1:17,18 to say that Onesiphorus had died and that verse 18 was a prayer for him. Therefore, praying for the dead has precedent in the Bible. I don’t know exactly what the original language actually states – was Onesiphorus dead? Or is this just an extrapolation from the use of past tense words?

I have learned so much from your teaching since finding your site about a year ago. I have a question about Jordan being one of the only places that elude the Anti-Christ’s control during the Great Tribulation. Why do you think that Jordan is exempt from Anti-Christ’s control (maybe other scriptures in addition to Dan. 11:41), and are there other places that also will be exempt? It seems to me at the present time Jordan is going against Israel in wanting Israel to give back land to the Palestinians.

I was recently listening to your audio study on 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, and you mentioned Matt. 27:51-53 where Jesus returns from Sheol with the ‘First Fruits’ of those who were in Abraham’s Bosom. But then you mentioned Job 19:25, and attributed that to the 2nd Coming. Wouldn’t Job have come back with Jesus as part of the 1st Fruits of the Resurrection or the rapture?

My husband asked me some questions over the weekend and I didn’t know the answers, so I wanted to get your opinion on them. What happens to believers on the earth who die during the Millennium? Where do their spirits go? Do they also receive immortal bodies? And, do they then come and live with us in the New Jerusalem? Thanks so much!

In the Left Behind series when the mother and son were raptured they made it seem that the boy had changed to become a man by the time the family was re-united in the Millennium. Will we all be around thirty ? Where did the authors get this idea and why would we all be about that age if it is true? Will children automatically be grown or will they age over the years in heaven or what? And the elderly will they be young again with no age lines or wrinkles? What does the bible say on this subject or does it even mention it?

I really enjoy your web site. My question is in regard to how long it will take to build the third temple. My thinking is that if Daniel’s 70th week is 7 years, each day being a year, would the temple be built in 3 years? Jesus said “Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in 3 days.” Would the building of the temple occur during the first 3 years of the tribulation?

What should we expect to happen here in the United States and the world for that matter, when Israel hits Syria , Iran or others there? And what should we do to prepare for war in the Middle East?

My question has two parts, one to do with sacrifices and the other with sin in the old testament. From my understanding, the sacrifices that the Israelites made were for the temporary cleansing of sin, and were supposed to reflect what Jesus would do when He came. but did they cover all sins? For example, in Joshua 7: 17-26, Joshua asked Achan if he had disobeyed God by taking spoils from the Babylonians. Achan admited that he had sinned before God, and was put to death. According to this scripture, it seems that Achan’s sin was not covered by the sacrifices which would mean that there were some sins that were so bad, that the blood sacrifices would not cover them.

The second part of my question has to do with sin in general at that time. From my understanding, adultery was punishable by death at this time, correct? So the effect of this law would mean that David should have been put to death when he sinned with Bathsheba. But, as we know, David confessed his sin, and was forgiven. But if David was forgiven by his confession, would that also mean that anyone who confessed their sin be forgiven, thereby anulling the punishment? And If so, shouldn’t Achan have been forgiven when he admitted that he had sinned against God? There seem to be different outcomes for David and Achan. On a side note, why was Achan’s whole family punished for his sin? Sorry to kinda throw that one in, but it was bugging me.
