Ezekiel 38 And The Rapture

Published: February 12, 2015 (Originally published: February 14, 2015)
Q

I have listened to your teaching on the battle of Ezekiel 38 and the timing of the rapture. I am confused as how this is related to Romans 11:25, (For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.) Does this mean that when the “last” Gentile person is saved that the battle begins and the church is raptured, or are these events unrelated?

Bema Seat And Judgment Seat

Published: February 15, 2015 (Originally published: February 14, 2015)
Q

I know that there is a judgment seat of Christ and a Great White Throne Judgment in the Bible. Years ago I recall my Grandfather talking about a Bema Seat Judgment, but I can find nothing in my King James Version about it. He spoke of its meaning as the same as the Judgment Seat of Christ. Do you know anything about this?

Continuing To Sin

Published: February 14, 2015 (Originally published: February 15, 2015)
Q

Re: 1 John 3:6-10. The Bible speaks clearly here that if a person continues to sin after having obviously made a genuine profession of faith and demonstrated it for years and who is deeply spiritual, that he is lost. How can that be since the person’s prior walk demonstrated very clearly that he was saved. In fact in spite of sexual immorality the person continues to preach the clear gospel. But since he keeps on sinning this passage says he has never known Christ and the man is positive that he has known him.

Still More On The Body And The Bride

Published: February 5, 2015 (Originally published: February 6, 2015)
Q

Is the Body of Christ the same as the Bride of Christ? It seems in Philippians 3:10-11 that Paul makes a distinction between the two words for “resurrection” found in both verse 10 and 11. Could there be a “taking out of” that first resurrection of the Body to create the Bride? Another thought: when God created a bride for Adam, He took her “out of” his body.

Waiting UponThe Lord. Follow Up

Published: February 6, 2015 (Originally published: February 7, 2015)
Q

I appreciate your answer for the person asking what it means to wait on the Lord. In your answer you said, ” I believe it means that after praying for direction, we are to wait patiently for the Lord to provide it.” If so, then how does James 2:17 apply, ” In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead?” To me, waiting means just that, you wait. You don’t step forward in any direction. So, if we pray in faith and then accompany that pray by action, where does the waiting fit in?

Who Should We Pray To? Follow Up

Published: February 6, 2015 (Originally published: February 7, 2015)
Q

Re: Who Should We Pray To? You responded with “We can pray in the Spirit and in His power”. Please explain “pray in the Spirit”. My local church preaches that this is tongues but reading the verses they use in context doesn’t make sense. When I throw out those verses used out of context I am left with Ephesians 6:18 and Jude 20. Both mention “praying in the spirit” but do not instruct on what it is. I do not understand how they can build a doctrine on this when there is so little instruction. Surely if tongues is important as it is preached the Holy Spirit would have put instruction on it in the word. I can hardly turn a page without being told how to walk in love, live by faith but not much on “praying in the spirit” Am I missing something here?

Would The Temple Have Been Destroyed Anyway?

Published: February 6, 2015 (Originally published: February 7, 2015)
Q

I know that if Jewish Leadership would have accepted Jesus death/resurrection for their sins when He came the first time, the church would not have been born. The remaining 7 years would have begun following the resurrection of Jesus. My question is, would the temple still have been torn down or would the antichrist have just stood in Herod’s temple?

A Post Rapture Remnant?

Published: February 7, 2015 (Originally published: February 8, 2015)
Q

A friend recommended your website and I’m really glad they did. I was impressed with what I’ve read so far. I wanted to get your opinion on something I’ve come to understand in the last few years. I’ve believed in the Rapture for some time now, but always had the feeling that I would not be Raptured, even though I’m a believer. I did not know what to make of this but some time after that I read Romans 9, especially focusing on verses 23-31, and came to the conclusion that I would be part of the remnant. What have you come to understand about the remnant through your reading and study of Scripture?

The Resurrection Of Believers

Published: February 7, 2015 (Originally published: February 8, 2015)
Q

The Old Testament saints were set free from Abraham’s bosom and then went up to paradise when Jesus went to the center of the earth for 3 days. However, they will not get their bodies until after the Great Tribulation ends. So the Church saints (and angels) will ride back with Jesus at the 2nd Coming but the O.T. souls have to wait until the battle is over. Right? If yes, do they have to wait to get their spiritual bodies because they are connected to the 70th week by being Jewish?

Does Failure To Forgive Bring Loss Of Salvation?

Published: February 8, 2015 (Originally published: February 9, 2015)
Q

I just heard a prominent TV preacher say that if we do not forgive others, God cannot forgive our souls. So, I submit that millions of people who believed that Jesus Christ died for their sins, have died resenting the actions of another person and hold that person in a condition of unforgiveness. So according to this TV preacher, there souls are not forgiven and eternally separated from God’s presence. What say you, Jack?
