In Revelation 3:12, it is written that “He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more.” What does this mean when Jesus says “he shall go out no more”? Will we spend eternity in the New Jerusalem without being able to go out? I fully believe the New Jerusalem is awesome beyond imagination, but it would be nice to take a walk on planet earth every now and then.

Thank you for your very insightful website, it is truly a blessing to me. I have a question about Hebrews 9:27, which states that it is “appointed unto man once to die….”, and 1 Corinthians 15:51, which states “we shall not all sleep…..” Is there a conflict here, or is my understanding of what is meant not correct?

I understand that Jewish Old Testament believers who died went to Paradise or Abraham’s Bosom to await the promised Redeemer. What about OT Gentiles? Did they have to convert to Judaism for this or did the Lord make a way for those outside of Israel to “die in faith”?

I was reading your latest article about New Jerusalem as being the home of the redeemed Church. I was wondering is New Jerusalem considered Heaven? Revelation depicts the Church in Heaven around God’s throne in Chapter 4 I believe. So is this city the same place? Why not just call it Heaven?

I recently came across your site and I truly appreciate your gift of interpreting Gods Word. It has helped me, more specifically on understanding the Rapture and events leading up to the Rapture. My question is that is John 5:25-29 referencing the Rapture? I did a quick search of your site but found nothing identifying these verses. I look forward to your response.

I just love your web site. I visit it daily and am always blessed by the wealth of information. Keep up the good work you are truly gifted by God with knowledge of scripture. My question is when Satan is thrown out of heaven will that be before the rapture or following and will believers still be here on earth? If we are will we know it?

Thank you for you website, it has been a blessing for me and my family. I think we agree that all children under the age of reason will be taken in the rapture and that children will be born in the millennium to those who survive the tribulation, but what about during the tribulation. Will children be born during that seven year period?

With respect to God’s wrath, I find myself struggling with it’s beginning. I shouldn’t – because I have no problem seeing the Church in Heaven in chapter 5! And if Revelation is truly chronological then the wrath must take place in six. Yet, when I read Rev 6:12-17, it really sounds like the Lord’s wrath begins after the 6th seal (or depending on some accounts, the 7th – which means Chapter 8 kicks off the wrath after the half hour of silence). If either is the case, and assuming the Tribulation (70 weeks) kicks off after the first seal, then the Church wouldn’t be taken until some time into the Tribulation. Could you please elaborate on this?

At the time of the rapture all born again believers will be taken. Will babies and under aged(not accountable) be taken too? if this is true why does Jesus say in Mathew 24 :19 ” woe to mothers who with child and give suck in those days”

Prior to 1948, were there people who understoodd from the Bible that Israel would be re- born and how prevalent was this view? Also, prior to 1948, were there people who understood from the Bible that the re- birth of Israel woould herald in the end times and how prevalent was this view? Like you said, the only time we know that an interpretation of a prophecy is correct is after it has happened. So I wonder how many people got it right prior to 1948. If only few got it right then, it is also possible that the futurist view of prophecy may be incorrect or incomplete.
