Life After Death

Published: November 30, 2013
Q

My wife has leukemia and they recently stopped all treatment since it was not working anymore. I think in one of your studies you said that when we get to heaven we will not be bound by time, but will be similar to what God experiences now. If that is true, when my wife gets to heaven will she experience time without her family or will that time not be noticed? You know what I mean? If she is not bound by time she will see the rest of her saved loved ones as soon as she gets there even though in this life we are not dead or will she have to wait until we die?

Re: Are We Sure About The Pre-Trib Rapture? I have some friends who used to be pre-trib, but now believe we’ve misinterpreted the Bible and in fact the 7 year tribulation has already begun. How can I dispute this?


How Should We Pray?

Q

Today I see that the U.S. and Europe are entering into a nuclear arms agreement with Iran. It looks to me as though the U.S. is becoming a great deal less sovereign and influential not to mention moving away from it’s alliance to Israel. I find this shocking although I know I should not be surprised. With Israel becoming more isolated with the exception of it’s unusual new alliance with Saudi Arabia, do you think that God is allowing this to happen because He is now going to begin to deal with Israel in the very near future? If so, how do we as believers pray for Israel? Also, how do we pray for our own government leaders in a situation like this?


How Long Is An Hour?

Published: November 30, 2013
Q

I have a question about Rev. 3:10: “I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world.” Is this a literal “hour”? How does this compare to the other uses of the word hour in Revelation, especially the destruction of Babylon in “a single hour”, Rev. 18:10, “the hour of his (God’s) judgment”, Rev. 14:7, and the 1/2 hour of silence in Rev. 8. The implication that you use from Rev. 3:10 is that hour refers to the 7 years of tribulation. How do we know what actual period of time “hour” refers to?


More On The Judgment Seat Of Christ

Published: November 30, 2013
Q

When a Christian commits a sin or sins, in our flesh, and we confess this to the Lord, is that sin going to be brought up at the Judgment Seat of Christ and effect our rewards? I know all of our sins, past, present, and future, have been paid for in full by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. But: When it comes to rewards, do confessed sins get “wiped out”?


Getting Over A Break Up

Q

I’m going through a very painful break up. While in the relationship, I fell away from the Lord big time. I believe He is using this to get my attention. My question is this-What scriptures should I be memorizing to help with my broken heart, forgiveness towards her, and continuing my walk with Him?

Many people say that our rights as Americans are from God. Could you tell me where in the Bible these rights are stated? For instance the right to life, liberty and property.


Gentiles In The Millennium

Published: November 30, 2013
Q

You have a great ministry going here helping those that are saved to become better informed and helping many that are not yet saved to perhaps make a better choice. May God bless you for all your efforts. The Jews will have the animal sacrifices during the millennium, but what will the Gentiles be doing to confirm their belief? Will a new church age begin? Got any ideas on this?


Daniel 13 And 14

Published: November 30, 2013
Q

I can’t help but wonder why the last two chapters of Daniel were omitted from our modern bibles. They show strength of our Lord and are a testimony to Daniel’s greatness as a prophet and religious man. Any thoughts on this?
