Martyred For Our Faith

Published: November 12, 2013
Q

Years ago when I was young and going to Sunday School, our teacher was preparing us to give our up lives for our faith. He wanted us to think about the possibility that someone would shoot us for believing in Christ. I’m 42 now and wonder if you think this was an appropriate topic for a Sunday School teacher to discuss with young children?


Gracethrufaith After The Rapture?

Q

I look forward every day to visiting your site. I also am excited to watch the signs appear that point to how soon the Rapture is coming. My question is, will this site still be around after we all are gone? I have made a file in my legal papers which I have printed out several of your articles to save for my unbelieving family members to find. I am wondering if they will be able to access this site too. I do hope so.


120 Year Life Span?

Published: November 11, 2013
Q

In regards to a generation of years, God stated that no one would live longer than 120 years after the great flood. As far as I am aware some individuals have come to live very close to 120 years but not to 120. So does this mean that the average life span could be longer than 70-80?


Praying Someone To Salvation

Published: November 11, 2013
Q

Jesus says that if we pray within God’s will and in His name, He will grant our prayers. The Bible also states that it’s God’s desire that everyone would come to Christ. Is that an assurance that if we pray for someone’s salvation, they will be saved?


Who Goes In The Rapture?

Published: November 10, 2013
Q

I have a grown daughter who accepted Jesus as her savior when she was 8 years old. Since then, she has had doubts regarding her faith and has declared herself an agnostic. If salvation is eternal for those who at one time truly believed, will they be raptured? I have heard theories of a partial rapture and am confused as to which believers are raptured. What do you think?


Three Battles Or One?

Published: November 10, 2013
Q

I don’t understand how students of Bible Prophecy have come to see Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39 as two different events. Can you shed any light as to how these two prophecies (Psalm 83 & Isaiah 17) do not converge in the Ezekiel 38-39 battle?


Storing Up For The Coming Hard Times

Published: November 9, 2013
Q

I was reading a website and they are actively advocating disaster preparation. While this sounds reasonable, I and my daughter, sons and grandchildren do not have the means to prepare as indicated. By that I mean, I am elderly and just not young enough to lead the group in preparing. Some people are saying prepare for at least 7 years. That brings up the thought of such chaos, it sounds like the tribulation. What does the Bible say?


Ezekiel 38 And The Tribulation

Q

Is it possible the Magog war could last 7 yrs throughout the tribulation?


Sin And The Law

Published: November 9, 2013
Q

Paul’s effort to communicate the coalition of the law and death becomes very difficult to a simple mind when he says : “for until the law sin was in the world , but sin is not imputed when there is no law. ” Roman 5:13 What does this mean and what is your take on this? Does it mean that those who lived sinful lives before the Law was given , lived guiltless in sin?


Do We Have Our Own Personal Demons?

Published: November 8, 2013
Q

I wanted to ask you about whether or not we have have specific demons with their own personalities that attack us on a regular basis. I am in the word daily and take my relationship with Jesus Christ very seriously. I am very careful about the media I subject myself to and have a genuine love for God’s discipline and refining nature. I do, however, have very specific attacks involving mental pictures that are terrible, and don’t seem to make any sense at all, but have a unique “stamp” on them. I’ve prayed and thought about these attacks a lot. Does this sound like a common theme… from a single demonic entity? If so, are there any specific ways to more permanently fend this thing off?
