I recently asked you about the second coming, actually what I had meant had been what things must take place before the rapture of the church. I understand Matthew 24:34 about the generation of 70 years, but what about the 2012 magnetic polar reversal, wouldn’t that have to have a key in the tribulation, if so, wouldn’t that mean that the rapture would have to happen about a year or two before that?

How are we to understand the account in Judges 11:30-40, where Jephthah vowed to the Lord to offer up whatever came forth from his house upon his return, as a burnt offering, if the Lord gave him victory over the Ammonites? His daughter, his only child came out and he was distraught because of his vow. Was she offered up as a burnt offering? Thank you for your insight, I’ve learned much from your website. God Bless.

Q.It appears from the passage that Jephthah did indeed sacrifice his daughter to the Lord with her full consent. (See v. 36 and 39) This would have been neither desired by nor pleasing to the Lord who had prohibited such things. (Deut 18:10) Jephthah acted wholly on

My husband and I haven’t been married all that long. Somewhere in the Bible there is a verse that divorce is only allowed when the covenant of marriage is broken. That is when there is an affair outside the marriage. I have told my husband several times that if he ever had an affair, I will divorce him. I know he is having an affair, by the little things I have found. I just haven’t caught him physically. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I know that all sins are forgivable through Christ. Am I close on the divorce subject? What verse in the Bible is it that talks about divorce? Please give me your input on the matter.

I know there is free choice given to us by God. I also know the hairs on our head are known to him and our days are known and he has a plan for all of us. In the shooting and stabbing rampages we see happening around us, it is free choice for the people who do those things, or is it in God’s plan for all the random people to be killed?

What does it say in the Bible about people who cuss or say negative things to others?

What are your thoughts on “soapbox preaching”? Does the Bible address this?

My question is about the so-called “Infancy Scriptures.” I recently saw a special on them and was surprised at how the Lord was depicted, supposedly as an angry and unruly child. The special said that Jesus had to learn how to master His emotions as any child would and that later He became a great leader. Do you buy any of this? What exactly are these “Infancy Scriptures”? They seem disrespectful to me!

I have been blessed by your website and amazed by the depth of knowledge you display on issues. Can you please share your thoughts on Mathew 19:16. A lot of Muslims like to quote this scripture to support an argument that Jesus was denying the fact that He was God. I know that is not the case, but I will be glad if you can shed a bit of light on it for me.

I was reading your e-book on Understanding Revelation (very good) but it has raised a couple of questions in chapter 16 and the bowl judgements. In verse 2 it says painful sores came on men who had the mark of the beast on them. Taken literally that means post rapture believers do not suffer these sores. Also in verse 12, the Euphrates river dries up. Again taking things literally that means the plagues of the seas and fresh water have a time limit on them. So does that mean all the plagues there is an interlude between each one, maybe to give these people chance to repent? What is your take on this?

I believe Jesus said to his disciples that all power was given to him in heaven and on earth after his victory at the cross. (Matt. 28:18) Didn’t this break the power of Satan and remove his “god of this world” title?
