I think I understand all the judgments as to when and where they will occur and who will be involved. However, I am having a problem determining exactly what is the judgment of the nations. Is it in conjunction with the Sheep and Goat judgment? Is it called the judgment of the nations because all the people living at the end of the Great Tribulation from their various nations will be called to this judgment? I know that whole nations, as well as individuals, have been judged by the way they have treated the Jewish people. Will whole nations be judged or just on an individual basis within these nations? Thank you for the time you spend answering our questions. It has certainly been a blessing to me.

One question that constantly comes out of the mouth of Post Tribbers is Matt. 24:30 and it’s relation to verse 29 before it, insinuating the rapture is the gathering spoken of and happens after the tribulation. I am sure I have read some reference about this in one of your articles but I am not sure which. My explanation usually deals with the fact that Jesus, here speaking to Jews is also prophesying the fate of the Jews living through the tribulation (context). However the explanation always seems to come across as my interpretation and I really have no clear scriptures to back it up. Any thoughts or scriptures I should consider?

I frequently wonder how spiritual beings can be confined to physical locations, such as the spirits of unbelievers being confined to Hades or thrown into the lake of fire?

In Rev. 20:14, it states that “Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire”. Am I correct in interpreting this verse as meaning that death and Hades will simply no longer exist? Wouldn’t that make this verse figurative? Death is not a “thing”, per se, but rather the cessation of life. Hades is a spiritual realm, so I’m having trouble seeing it being tossed into the lake of fire which, I assume, is a physical place.

I have known and heard about many marriages that didn’t make it. Two in particular were bathed in prayer and many attempts at reconciliation were attempted but didn’t work. I have been under the assumption that it was OK with God that those marriages split up due to the fact that the spouse who cheated wasn’t willing to stop and God knew it was better for the marriage to end. My question is….am I right? Are there some marriages that God will allow to split up because it is best?

I have been reading your website for quite awhile now. Most things I agree with, but I don’t understand your view concerning how it will be during the Great Tribulation. If I understand correctly, you’ve said that no one is going to know they are going through the Great Tribulation. They will continue to eat, drink and get married just like any other day. Is this what you intended to say? My understanding of the Great Tribulation is that it is going to be a time of distress in the world worse than at any other time. Do you really believe people won’t take notice?

In Genesis 1:3 it says, “And God said let there be light and there was light. ” It was day 1. In Genesis 1:16 it says, “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” It was day 4. So if God didn’t create the Sun and Moon until day 4, what was the light He created on day 1? Also, evenings and morning are determined by the rising and setting of the sun are they not? But if the sun was not created until the fourth day then what determined the days before that?

With all of the scandals coming from Washington, coupled with the turmoil in Syria and the rest of the Middle East, it seems like “life as we know it” is about to make a dramatic shift. As a Christian, husband and father, this kind of stuff scares me to death. I know that the “textbook” answers are “God will provide,” “trust God,” etc…, but I also see stories every day about tons of Christians martyred for their faith. I know that I’m not supposed to fear “those that can only destroy the body,” but I still do. That said, how would you advise me to stay calm and trust God with all of this going on? Don’t get me wrong. I WANT to, but I’m still human.

In view of the likelihood of Nephilim infecting our world again, I think perhaps the Antichrist and the False Prophet could be Nephilim. My reason is simple. In Rev. 19:20 neither of them die, but both are thrown directly into the Lake of Fire without an appearance at a Judgment. If they were human, they would be at the Great White Throne Judgment. Even the demons in Jude 6 are awaiting judgment. Possibly Nephilim, being half human and half demon won’t judged. How do you see this?

My question is this: Are Catholics saved, even if they continue in “worship” of Mary and other saints?
