Why Rachael? Follow Up

Published: October 16, 2010
Q

Joseph was a picture of Christ, therefore Rachel his mother is a picture of Mary, and if Israel could only listen to the prophets, they all would be saved! Why then, if the Christian can see the ties to the Old Testament, the Jew can not see the same thing? As for what I see today Rachel is still crying.


What Happened To The Resurrected Holy People?

Published: October 15, 2010
Q

Matt. 27:52-53 says “The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went to into the holy city and appeared to many people.” What do you think happened after the resurrected saints appeared to people in the holy city ? Were they taken later to Heaven?

Also 1 Cor. 15:44 says, “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.” I have hard time understanding the meaning of “spiritual”, for the “spiritual” is unseen.


Did Adam Understand Death, Follow Up

Q

I find it interesting that there are those that would believe Adam was ignorant of anything. Was he not a created being of God? If Nephilim had advanced knowledge, would it not stand to reason that Adam did as well?


Hidden Rapture Doctrine, Follow Up

Published: October 15, 2010
Q

When we meet the Lord in the air, Satan’s front yard, do you think we will be able to see Satan and his demons ? I’ve imagined them all, powerless to stop Jesus and all of us as we are passing through to heaven. I would think Satan will be enraged.


The Host Of Heaven And The Kings Of Earth

Published: October 14, 2010
Q

Great site, I am a regular reader with a small question. How to interpret Isaiah 24:21 “So it will happen in that day, that the Lord will punish the host of heaven on high, and the kings of the earth on earth.” Who is the host of heaven on high here? From the rest of the chapter one could assume it is referring to Satan/Lucifer/fallen angels or the A/C, but being called the “host of heaven on high” sounds more like Christ. Is it a reference to Christ and his work on the cross instead?


More On The “Last Trump”

Published: October 14, 2010
Q

You are teaching a pre-trib rapture. 1 Thes 4:16 mentions a trumpet of God as one of those things that call us to meet the Lord in the sky. If that was all I had, I could see how the rapture is pre-trib., but 1 Cor. 15:52 says at the last trumpet, and isn’t the last trumpet toward the end of the Trib. according to Rev.?


The Accuser

Published: October 13, 2010
Q

Re: Rev 12:10. “For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down ” This passage appears to refer to the tribulation believers. (Jews and Gentiles) What exactly is he accusing them of? Is it because they are not sealed with the Holy Spirit and they are being accused of not following His commandments?


Lifting Holy Hands In Praise

Published: October 13, 2010
Q

I, like so many others, appreciate your website and the truth that you share about God’s Word. My husband and I differ when it comes to praising the Lord. He does not believe there is a place in worship for raising your hands. Psalm 134 says to Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. My husband says that those who do this are saying look at me…I am righteous. I feel the lifting of your hands is a way of saying, “Thank you Lord” and “I praise you.”


If He Will Not Work He Shall Not Eat

Q

In the New Testament, I have read ”you don’t work, you don’t eat”. I have MS. I don’t work and can’t help around the house. Do I ignore this reading?
