Thank you for your web site. What a great ministry! Would you comment on Eze 28:12 – 19? Is God speaking through the prophet to the king of Tyre or Satan?


Are We Gaining Or Losing?

Published: May 20, 2009
Q

Thank you so very much for answering questions so quickly!I love your site and if I miss even one day, I feel disconnected. So I’m always reading your site!

I do have one question though: I keep reading that, in the Middle East, Christian numbers are falling. Are we losing or gaining in numbers? They say that if a country use to have 20%, they now have only 2%. Should I be concerned about this? Thank you for your insight on everything, because without you I would be back at square one!!


Ezekiel 38 And Armageddon

Published: May 20, 2009
Q

I have read a few of your responses to the difference between the Magog war and Armageddon, but I ran across a site today that claims to have 50 reasons why they are one in the same. I was wondering if you could comment on this.


A Second Blessing?

Published: May 19, 2009
Q

Thank you so much for your willingness to answer questions about the Bible. I was wondering about something I have heard about called “The Second Blessing” which I believe refers to a powerful annointing of the Holy Spirit upon a believer after and completely separate from his conversion experience. From what I can gather it is an experience that allows a believer to enter into a whole different level of Christian experience because he/she is willing to give everything, their entire being to Christ. Do you have any information or thoughts on this subject?


America In Prophecy?

Published: May 18, 2009
Q

Hi and thanks for your great insight. I really enjoy your studies.

I have always been puzzled about Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the statue representing the world empires. As great a country as America has been and being the only current world superpower, it’s puzzling why the “American” empire was not included when God revealed the empires that would rule before the return of the Lord. As great and powerful as our nation has been, you would think America would have been mentioned as one of the empires. Perhaps it’s because we won’t last long. Do have any insight on this subject?


My Country Right or Wrong?

Published: May 17, 2009
Q

I have a question. What should I do when my own country is pressuring Israel to give up more of the Holy Land? I am so distressed in these the last days, when my own country America, which I love, seems to be working against the plan of God in the Holy Land.


Push For Peace

Published: May 16, 2009
Q

Thank you for always doing such a remarkable job with your wonderful website. I tell everyone about it! What is your take on this push for peace, where all of these countries are now pressuring Israel to give away even more land for this so-called peace agreement? These leaders are really backing the new leadership in Israel into a corner. Thank you for all that you do, including your patience.


Ascension Day Rapture?

Published: May 16, 2009
Q

I have some thoughts on the possibility of an Ascension Day rapture. It seems that if the Lord wanted to send a strong message to the Jews and the rest of the unbelievers, as to Who did this (the rapture) and what happened to all the Christians/children, etc., that he would take us out on Ascension day. It would be like handing the whole world a tract. The Ascension also makes more sense than connecting the rapture to a Jewish Feast day because it shows the separate handling of the church and Israel. If the full number were already on board, this would be a good date because of the clear witness that it would leave to those left behind. Do you think this is a possibility?


My Wife Doesn’t Want The Rapture To Come

Published: May 15, 2009
Q

Thank you for the continuation of your site! I have a problem. My wife has recently gotten mad at me for reading about end times prophecy. She feels that she doesn’t want the rapture to happen because it would take away the life that we have just started together. She also does not seek out information on Jesus or what it means to be a Christian. What should I/can I do? I don’t know what I can do to console her. Is it right to assume that the rapture will happen in the next five years?


Another Question On Tongues

Published: May 14, 2009
Q

Can you please help me regarding speaking in tongues ? There is a teaching doing the rounds that stipulates that for one to be filled with THE HOLY SPIRIT one has to be able to speak in tongues. Is speaking in tongues not one of the gifts of THE SPIRIT as are prophecy. interpretation etc? I do believe that I have a measure of THE SPIRIT within me as I always feel convicted and have the urge to repent immediately after a wrong thought,word or deed, but feel condemned and am not sure of THE HOLY SPIRIT when told that we have to speak in tongues.

I have never spoken in tongues yet, but, i do desire to be able to by GODS GRACE. I have sometimes tried in my own strength but to no avail. Can you please help me in this area?
