Are We To Know The Times And Seasons?
Published: August 30, 2013I’m still an avid reader of your site. I’ve also noticed many other sites I visit quote you or are linked to you. Do you ever correspond with these people or do they just pick up on your teaching as we have? Do you have any control over this? These are not important questions but I was just curious.
In relationship to today’s Q &A- You referenced the fact that both Paul and the Lord said we should be aware of the season regarding His return. How do we reconcile that with Luke’s statement in Acts 1:7 that seems contradictory? Thanks again for your answers. God bless you and your family as you seek to serve Him in these last days.
The Meaning Of The Four Horsemen
Published: August 30, 2013I always try to follow good hermeneutic principles when trying to understand God’s word starting with literal, historical and grammatical interpretation. The book of Revelation does however have the use of symbols and metaphorical interpretations. I am trying to understand the use of horses in the first 4 seals of Rev 6 – what are the horses and what do they mean. Jesus also comes on a white horse at His second coming – what are the horses? Also, the personal pronouns used for those on the horses indicate a person, yet that which follows are war, famine, pestilence, etc – can you help me understand why the use of masculine personal pronouns?
Like A Woman In Labor
Published: August 29, 2013I enjoy reading your extensive bible studies and use them as a study tool. Because I am human, some areas I have pause, but in areas of doctrine I believe, using the Bible as the only true measure, that our views parallel. Therefore I am very interested in how you view the reading of Jeremiah 30:6. Just this morning it struck me that this passage seems to be describing someone suffering from poison, esp poison gas, like sarin.
Did Jesus Know Or Didn’t He?
Published: August 28, 2013I am puzzled by a difference in the wording of Matthew 24:36. My NIV says “nor the son…” but my KJV says “But of the day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (no mention of the son) What is the correct interpretation – does the son know or not? Jesus is the Godhead and if the Father knows, wouldn’t Jesus also know? Sorry if this is sounds confusing, but I am learning to check different versions.
Am I Going To Heaven?
Published: August 27, 2013A co worker told me I am not going to Heaven due to the fact the Lord had already assembled the 144,000 gentiles that would be going to Heaven and she was one of them. I to this day don’t understand how she could say that to me when I feel in my heart I am saved and have asked the Lord cleanse me of all the sins of my life.
Gentiles Or Church?
Published: August 27, 2013Why did Paul use the word “Gentiles” in Romans 11:25 when it is the Church he was referring to that would come into “fullness”? Shouldn’t it be “fullness of believers” since the Church consists of both Jews and Gentiles?
More On The Doctrine Of Election
Published: August 27, 2013A buddy of mine and I were having a conversation about man’s free will and election. My buddy says that, because man is inherently evil apart from God, he only has a choice to reject God and not to accept Him like those are already the elect, elected and predestined before time by God can. What do you think?
Why 7 Weeks plus 62 Weeks?
Published: August 26, 2013Why does Daniel 9:25 state the time determined as 7 weeks, then 62 weeks instead of just 69 weeks?
A Pause Just Before The 2nd Coming? Why?
Published: August 26, 2013I know it’s only speculative and, perhaps, unfair to ask, but it appears that God has given you a degree of discernment most others lack. That said, do you have any thoughts about God’s purpose for the Sign of the Son to be in the heavens for some unknown period between the end of the Great Tribulation and His Second Coming?
The Camels Of Isaiah 60
Published: August 26, 2013Can you please explain to me about the camels of Isaiah 60:6? I believe this to be a prophecy regarding Jesus, but is there more to it as far as Christians are concerned?
