You wrote: “According to 2 Thes. 2:7, the anti-Christ, AKA the man of lawlessness or son of perdition, can’t be revealed to begin the Great Tribulation until the “restrainer” is taken out of the way, or literally out of the midst.”

I understood that the 70th Week begins immediately after the Rapture and AC is revealed at that time because the Restrainer is removed then. The above sounds as if AC is not revealed until the Abomination, halfway through the 70th Week, or 42 months after the Rapture. So…

Relative to the Rapture, when does the 70th Week begin? When is AC revealed?

Is not the 70th Week synonymous with the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation only the last 42 months, starting with the Abomination?

How should we as Christians view the current war between USA and the middle east? I’m supporting a soldier in the middle east by writing to her … then I hear people saying what about the innocents of war and why support men and women who are sent to murder and kill? Whats Gods view on all this? Isn’t this war part of end times prophecy?

I have a question on Wheels with eyes in Ezekiel 1:15-21. While I was studying Ezekiel I came across this, and was completely perplexed. I think most of the commentators are too, because the 2 commentaries I’ve read, don’t have anything to say about it really, except that the rims full of eyes symbolize the all seeing nature of God. So, my question is, what are the wheels, what do they symbolize, what significance do they have in the passage?

I have a question about Psalm 33 and Genesis 18. In Psalm 33 it states that God sees all of mankind from Heaven. He is able to view and know every man and woman’s thoughts, feelings, etc. There are a number of other places that say as much as well, this is just the one I remembered the Book and chapter for. But in Genesis 18:20-21 He says that He is going down to look at Sodom and Gomorrah to see if the sin and wickedness is as bad as the outcry that has reached Him. My question is, why? Why would He need to go and see in person when He can see from Heaven?

Most people want to know about who’ll they’ll remember or see. My question is about our personalities. I’m not one for wanting to be around crowds. As for here on earth, being left alone with my bride and son on our homestead with our animals and garden suits me fine. Then there’s the time I spend with Jesus Christ alone with my bow chasing game to hunt or fish. Others might want to race about the universe but not me. There’s no marriages in heaven so my family won’t be together. Since there’s probably no killing in heaven I guess hunt’n and fish’n are out. The things the Lord has blessed me with here on earth probably won’t be available so would I have to reinvent who I am ?

The Pass ID Act, introduced on June 15 and referred to the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee; if enacted, it will erode personal freedoms by requiring all US citizens and legal residents to have a national identity card that will be needed to open a bank account, board an airplane, be able to vote, or conduct virtually all types of essential business; if embedded with an RFID chip, universal monitoring will be possible everywhere, all the time.

In your opinion and if it can be supported by Scripture, is this something that could be considered “we won’t be here” when and if this passes? Or do you think the Church will have to “pass the test” of accepting or denying this law? Obviously, I think a lot of people would be considering this the “mark of the beast” type scenario.

On Monday, July 13th, the New York Times published an article that says the Euphrates River is drying up because of an extended drought and also due to Syria and Turkeys water policies. I would like your thoughts as to whether this might be a “set up” for the reference in Revelation 16 of the angel pouring out of the vial and drying up the river for the kings of the east to cross for their attack on Jerusalem (which will lead to the final battle, Armageddon)

” And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.” Rev. 16:12 (KJV)

Some say that every time the word believe is used in Scripture it means to continuously believe. They take this to mean if you quit believing, you are not continuously believing, and that one day you will no longer be saved. Can a true Christian really quit believing? I could see that in a human sense something MIGHT happen to make someone quit believing Christ and yet in my very heart I just don’t see how someone who really believes would ever quit.

Will people who reject Jesus before the rapture have a chance at salvation post rapture? One Bible commentary I read said they will not, citing 2 Thes.2: 9-12.

From reading in Isaiah, chapter 11 and 14, I have two questions. Isaiah 11:11-12, is this second time NOW (the first perhaps after the long Babylonian exile, then return and occupied during Jesus time)?

And again in Isaiah 14:1-2, is this also now and perhaps it is speaking of the Palestinians who cling to the house (or land) of Jacob, who will eventually become the servants of Israel?
