Did God Treat the Nephilim Justly?

Published: September 19, 2014
Q

Genesis 6:4 speaks of children who were born of an unholy union between fallen angels and human women. On the whole Genesis 6 implies these children were evil and perpetuated evil and the whole world became corrupt to the point of God having to start humankind all over again with clean DN


Blessed Are The Believers

Published: September 19, 2014
Q

Re: The Lord’s comments to Thomas in the Upper Room. Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” You have said that Jesus was talking about the Church. Does this mean that Thomas (and any others) who actually saw him physically after his resurrection, before believing in his resurrection, are grouped with Old Testament believers and are not considered a part of the church?


A Question On Judges 4

Published: September 18, 2014
Q

In Judges 4…where Sisera, the captain of Jabins (of Canaan) army has escaped Barak-has hid in the tent of Jael (the wife of Haber the Kenite). He asks her for water and was given a “bottle of milk”. She covers him up , he falls asleep so soundly that she is able to drive a tent stake through his temples pinning him to the ground ,killing him. Now Heber of Kenite was a relative of Hobab (Moses brother in law), and he told Sisera about Barak’s battle plans.

I don’t get the significance of all this, especially the milk instead of water, the murder of someone aided by her husband, and the connection to Moses father in law. Can you help me ?


Pre Wrath Rapture?

Published: September 18, 2014
Q

I am a believer in the pre tribulation view point with one of the major reasons being that believers are not meant for wrath (1 Thes. 5:9 among others). However, I find that the first time the “wrath” of God is mentioned in Revelation is with the sixth seal (Rev 6:17). Could it be that the 4 Horsemen and the Souls of the Martyrs (seals 1-5) might occur before the rapture?


Gentile Tribulation Believers

Published: September 18, 2014
Q

I have a question concerning Jeremiah 30:11 and Tribulation Believers. If God completely destroys the nations to which Israel was scattered, and those being the gentiles, where do the gentile tribulation believers come from, since the nations come to give their gifts to God during the millennium?


Absent From The Body, Present With The Lord

Published: September 18, 2014
Q

Re: 2 Cor. 5:8. I have always believed that what Paul was saying in this verse is that when we pass from this life in an instant we will be present with God in heaven.

This came up in our men’s Bible study of Psalm 91 and God’s perfect protection afforded to all who dwell in the shelter of the Most High. When Paul spoke these words, and I believe he spoke of this in another letter as well, he made the comment that he had a choice to stay in this body and serve the Lord or to be present with Christ (Die). He said he was torn between the two. So my comment to the other men there was do you think Paul knew the promise of God (Psalm 91) so up close and personal that he realized he had a choice of Life or Death? And of course if he did do we?


Ezekiel 38 And The 6 Day War

Published: September 17, 2014
Q

Why, in your opinion, did the 6 day war and the 1973 conflict not meet the substance of the Ezk 38-39 war? Obviously I expect that Turkey who did not participate is part of the answer, but Russia was very involved in both. Because as I sit, those two wars were pretty dead on. Where am I wrong?


Tribulation In 2015?

Published: September 17, 2014
Q

An online news service recently wrote an article entitled “Will Tribulation Begin a Year From Now?” In the article, the author uses some kind of calculations to determine that Fall 2015 could possibly be the beginning of the Tribulation. Do you think this is likely? Is it possible to predict the beginning of the Tribulation period?


Who Is That In Rev. 7:1-9?

Published: September 17, 2014
Q

In Revelation 7:9-17… I had always been taught that this was the scene of the Rapture. I have read your articles regarding these being Tribulation saints, but I am confused about them serving before the throne of God day and night. Won’t that throne be in the New Jerusalem? If it is here on earth and Revelation 22 gives a picture of this throne, then it seems that we won’t get to be in the presence of the Lord in the New Jerusalem, only the Trib saints will.


The Sound Of Trumpets

Published: September 17, 2014
Q

My wife has heard 4 trumpet sounds in 4 years, she feels that another 3 and then something momentous will happen. I have researched on the Net and many people have heard these but not all at the same time. I thought that the trumpet calls would happen in the tribulation.
