Last night I couldn’t sleep because I was thinking about those brave IDF soldiers who have died in Operation Protection Edge so far. Now obviously if they were all Messianic Jews, then they will forever be with our Lord, but what about those who never came to Yeshua because of whatever reason? What happens to them? These brave men (and/or women) died not just for their country Israel—they died while protecting the Jewish people, who, despite themselves are still God’s Chosen People. I cannot bear the thought that our Loving Father would consign these brave ones a place along with the wicked. Would you please shed some light from the Word of God for me regarding this one?

How did you arrive at what each of the churches in Revelation 2-3 represent, i.e. Catholic, mainline protestant, evangelicals, apostate, etc.? Also, why would the church of Smyrna not represent those Christians being martyred today?

I have a question regarding Matthew 12:36 and the correct application of it. It says “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.” I know you have said Jesus was addressing the Pharisees. But some preachers say this scripture is a warning for all Christians and unbelievers. If Jesus was only addressing the Pharisees, why did he say “everyone”?

Re: The Borders Of The Promised Land. You said,”When you consider the several passages contained in Scripture that define the Promised Land, the best guide for determining its borders is to use the Euphrates River in the North, the River of Egypt (Wadi al Arish) in the South, the Mediterranean in the West and the Jordan River in the East.”

Where is the Jordan River stated as the Eastern border? And what about the tribes that stayed on the East side of the river?

I have a desire to share the Gospel and yet I’m also aware of the warnings of being a teacher, handling the Word of God, etc. My problem is that every time I share my knowledge of Jesus, I find myself walking away thinking, “Boy did I blow that!” and this fear of not handling God’s Word correctly comes over me. So in my sincerest desire of wanting to share and witness I find myself being a blubbering idiot most of the time. I so badly want to decrease so that He may increase but so far sharing the Gospel like trying to speak a totally different language. Is this normal? What advice can you give me?

Some scholars preaches that the war of Gog and Magog is at the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Others believe that it will start at the beginning of Daniel’s 70th Week. It says in the word of God that it takes seven months for the Jewish people to bury the dead and seven years for them to use the fuel left by those who attacked them. If the first view is correct and Ezekiel’s war does not start till the Great tribulation, then the seven years it takes to use the fuel left by Russia and others will over lap into the one thousand year millennium. I do not see that happening since it seems to differ with the word of God.

What are your thoughts ?

Ive been checking out a website that contradicts the popular belief about the 70 weeks of Daniel. The teacher at this site says the “He” in the Daniel 9 24-27 is none other than Christ. He also says, “A careful study of Daniel’s prophecy of the seventieth week, clearly reveals 3 1/2 years have already been fulfilled by Jesus earthly ministry, thereby leaving only 3 1/2 years still future to be fulfilled.”

My question is where do prophecy teachers get the 7 year tribulation period from and where exactly does it say Israel will sign a peace treaty?

Believing that the Lord provide for my basic needs like food,drink and clothes is not a problem to me. But when it’s about all the things I have to succeed in, and my welfare in every existing area of my life, that’s another story. I yearn for a job that is fulfilling to me, so I can do what interests me and experience success instead of feeling incompetent or out of place. And the most important thing is that my future job would not cause me distress and misery. It would be good if my welfare and my well being in every area of my life wouldn’t depend on me and my so very insufficient abilities, but instead I could ask the Lord to take the sole responsibility for all of these things. Is the Lord willing to cooperate and help me in such a way?

With the devastating news regarding the Ebola Plague, or the lack of news our liberal news media failing to announce the severity of it, do you think we are seeing the beginning of Revelation 6:8?

Regarding the current Gaza/Israel conflict, do you have an opinion as to which scripture this may be fulfilling, if any? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and opinions with us! You can’t imagine how much it’s appreciated.
