Ask a Bible Teacher

Latter Day Hybrid Beings

Published: September 8, 2013
Q

As a Bible teacher, I don’t think I can simply pass off questions from people I love and respect, whose integrity and character is solid and Biblical, about the bigfoot and other cryptid animal sightings. Only one hint I’ve been able to find in Scripture are Jesus’ words about the Days of Noah being similar to the End of the Age. In those Days, apparently, there were strange humans and animals including giants and others. Do we have an answer for these folks?


How Many Re-Gatherings Are There?

Published: September 8, 2013
Q

From other sources, I have read that Israel’s first captivity and return was when they were all released from Egypt after 430 years. This was their first re-gathering. When the Israelites were released from the Babylonian captivity after 70 years, it was their second re-gathering and the third re-gathering was the rebirth of Israel as a nation on May 14, 1948. However, quoting from one of your answers, “The re-gathering that officially began in 1948 and continues is the 2nd one. It will be completed after the Battle of Ezekiel 38. The first was after the Babylonian captivity.” Please share with me a clear explanation of your opinion on this matter.

Q

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions about the Bible. I was wondering if you could help me better understand Romans 8:20 in its context.


What Was The Year Of Creation?

Q

Please let me know what you show as the year since creation. The Jews say this is year 5774, but the New King James Bible says 4004 BC, plus 2013 since Jesus Christ for 6017 years. Who is correct?

On what contextual basis do you appropriate the section of Matthew 7:7-8 (Ask and it shall be given) to salvation?


Burning The Weapons

Q

I would like to hear your thoughts on a comment that I heard recently from a respected Bible teacher who said that Ezekiel 39:9-10 says that after the War of Gog & Magog, the Jews will burn the weapons from this war for fuel for a total of 7 years. The Bible teacher went on to say that because in Revelation 12:6 (3.5 yrs into the tribulation) the Jews flee Israel to a place prepared for her by God (Petra) and therefore the War of Gog & Magog has to start at least 3.5 years before the start of the Tribulation Period.


Controlling Our Thoughts

Q

After reading your answer to a previous question I sent in, I got to thinking about how do we know when to blame the devil vs. blaming ourselves for the bad thoughts that come into our mind?


Will We See Satan?

Published: September 5, 2013
Q

With the Rapture occurring before the “man of Sin” is revealed and with Satan having access to Heaven for the first 3 1/2 years of Daniel’s 70th week, is it likely that we who are raptured will see him and his fallen angel followers prior to their being cast down to earth for the final 3 1/2 years of Daniel’s 70th week?


Should I Play the Game?

Published: September 5, 2013
Q

My girlfriend recently bought me a new video game for my birthday that I had been interested in for awhile. In the game players are Nephilim who are hunting demons. I find myself to be unsure as to whether I should play it or not. The whole thing is fictional and I don’t think there’s anything any wrong with enjoying a fictional story as long as one knows there is a fine line between fiction and reality. But I just don’t want to upset God by playing it. What should I do?
