I have a co-worker who is a Jehovah Witness. He states they believe that Jesus is the archangel Michael. He questioned that if Jesus was God, why did he pray to himself. And he also referenced that when the disciples asked when he would come again, he said only the Father knows the time and hour of his return. Could you help me in showing him, with scriptural evidence, that Jesus was God with us?

What is the meaning behind the Story of Jacob and his all night wrestling match which results in his dislocated hip?

Do you have any scriptures at hand that proves beyond doubt that God’s wrath starts at the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week and not half way through the 70th week?

It has been my experience that we have a great God and it is not our great prayers or positive thinking that works miracles but God moving to answer our prayers. And so I have never understood the need for groups of people to pray together about any particular issue. I know that whenever two or more people join together in prayer the Lord is there with them and this is a blessing I can understand anyone wanting to enjoy, but it does not make the outcome any different than if one person prayed, does it? Am I missing something here?

Does it say anywhere in the Bible if souls are created at conception or if there exists a finite number of souls that were created at the beginning of time?

I have a question about the Rapture. I know “the dead in Christ shall rise first”,according to the Scriptures, but I’m wondering if this is a physical resurrection or a spiritual one? In other words, will unsaved people be able to see graves in the cemetary disturbed because Christians who have been dead and buried have gone to be with the Lord? Or do you think it will be more of a quiet, spiritual resurrection?

Peace and grace to you and yours. I have been studying in the book of Joshua and I came across the part where God tells Joshua to make six cities for those who have accidentally killed someone and they can go to one of these cities to seek refuge from the avenger. Topically, I understand this. What I’m wondering is if there is a deeper meaning to it. I know that (a well known bible teacher) says if you come across some scripture that is confusing to put Christ in the center of it. Is there something going on with these six cities other then just the idea of a ” safe house” for those Israelites seeking shelter until they can prove their innocence? As always, thanks for your efforts. God bless.

As always. thank you for what you do! I have been hearing alot of people lately say that they subscribe to the “pre-wrath” view of the rapture. How does this differ from the pre-trib view? If you disagree with this view can you tell me why you do scripturally.

I have heard that the pre-wrath view takes the stance that the rapture not happening before Revelation 6 is to purify the church. Why would this generation have to go through more “cleansing” than any other to be saved?

I was reading in my devotions and came across Deuteronomy 24:16, “Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.” And it made me recall in 2 Samuel 12 when the son of David and Bathsheba died as a result of their sin. I was just wondering how that comes together. Any help is always appreciated.

I’ve been studying ALL the millennium articles on your site, since my husband and I keep coming back to it in conversations ….. he’s reading the latest Tim LaHaye book “The Kingdom Come- the Final Victory” …. I have not read it yet, but it seems by the bits and pieces my husband has shared with me, that it is more fiction than scriptural… HOWEVER, it has precipitated much conversation ! Hence my studying all your articles — since I trust your teachings.

One of our questions is : what will we (the raptured church ) be doing for one thousand years? I can’t believe we’ll be walking the golden streets and praising the LORD only? (Although that will be great!) My understanding is that we will all have jobs to do … but will the “jobs” involve the things we did here on earth (i.e.: I was a registered nurse– so probably that particular skill won’t be needed , since we have Jesus, the trees that have healing leaves,and rivers with healing waters.)

Or will the “jobs” involve our spiritual gifts more ? (i.e.: my gifts involve intercessory prayer, exhortation, and teaching) Who will I pray for or teach, since we’ll all be “completed” saints?

What are your thoughts and what do the scriptures say, if anything?
