First of all, I must say, you are truly a gifted teacher, and a faithful servant.

I have been anxiously reading your weekly articles for the last few years. I believe in a pre-trib rapture, and with the quickly occurring events in regards to bible prophecy, believe we could very well be at the door.

Your recent article “itching ears” weighs heavy on my heart, not because I am looking at a specific date for the Lord’s return, but because I was left with the impression you were saying it’s not possible He could come that soon. This is the specific danger of being overtaken as by a thief that He warned us about. Given Israel’s history, recent events involving Russia, there is no doubt these things could come to pass very quickly. The danger with setting dates is thinking we have time. I hate to think some brothers and sisters will be caught unaware because one of these “dates” will come too late.

With the scriptures telling us that Jesus fulfilled the first three feasts we can assume that God has the fall feasts in the plan also. Whether or not He will return in 2015 only God knows. To have new revelations come to light such as this is exciting. To see how our God is a God of patterns and to see Him in the Hebraic context is enlightening. These are God’s feasts, and His appointments.

You are correct in that so many things must take place according to scripture before the tribulation could begin this fall 2008. But it does not negate the exciting discovery of these coming eclipses. What it all means, and the significance if any, of these discoveries, only God knows. It excites me to know He’s up to something by revealing this, and I can rest in that alone.

with the whole Russia/Georgia thing going on everyone on the Christian bulletin boards are saying Gog/Magog invasion is on the horizon (or here). What do you think? With Israel right in the middle, supplying Georgia weapons and telling Russia they will disable the S-300 system the Russians are sending to Iran, could one of these be the hook? Or does Israel have to bomb Iran to get such a reaction?

I do not believe that “all” children will be raptured as some teach. First an analogy of the last days judgment could be the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. There no children were spared.

Second…and a better analogy…would be the story of Noah. There, all breathing life was destroyed, except that which was on the ark (i.e. Noah and his wife and children), and all the remaining children on earth were destroyed with no exception.

Third…the first part of the tribulation is described like “the days of Noah”….”eating and drinking and marrying” (business as usual…odd if a billion children had disappeared) and thus a parallel is made between the two events.

Fourth during the last half of the 7 year tribulation the earth dwellers are described as having trouble getting enough food….a problem that would certainly be exacerbated by the presence of unbelievers children desperately needing to be fed.

Fifth logic dictates and scripture suggests that a “believers” children will be raptured/saved (e.g. Noah’s children) but an “unbelievers” children will not be raptured/saved (e.g. all children of unbelievers in Noah’s day).

I have two questions:

1) Can the medium really be able to invite the dead to communicate with the living? I remember King Saul actually ask a medium to invite Samuel’s soul to talk to King Saul.

2) Pornography is sin,that is for sure. Would the Lord still offer forgiveness to people who are addicted to pornography and are seeking help to be delivered?

I have a question I hope you can help me with. In I Corinthians chapter 11 verse 14 it says, “Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?”

What is long hair? How long does it have to be to be long? How long was hair in Jesus day?

I have read in your Q&A post that you don’t think masturbation itself is a sin, and clearly, you have missed a vital verse from your bible. This verse most definitely would cover masturbation.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 3:9

I hope you will prayerfully consider revising your position on the subject matter.

Thanks again for your amazing work for the Lord. I have a question regarding 1 Corinthians 15:29. I’ve read three different versions (NIV, KJV, NLT) and they all say the same thing, that people were being baptized for the dead. It doesn’t appear that Paul was in any way chastising this practice. What is your take on this? My NIV says that there is no further reference to this practice in the bible.

I’m confused about the New Jerusalem & the Earth. Who is going back and forth? Who is living on the Earth? Is God in NJ or Earth? It sounds like He is both places, if so, why? I really appreciate all your answers and explanations. Thank you.

What is baptism of Holy Spirit? Do we have it when we say the sinner’s prayer? Does Holy Spirit convict us of sin or righteousness? Thanks for answering once again!
