My husband and I were discussing the time line in my Bible. Could you please tell us when humanity began on Earth since before Noah. Would it be over 5000 years, if so, how much? Thank you for your answer.

Does Isaiah 58 refer to the modern church or past Israel? Does it have anything to do with reward that the church will receive (Crown)?

One doubt: in your question/answer – Is Dating My Late Wife’s Sister OK?

The person’s sis-in-law’s husband left her for another one. Is she really allowed to marry again?

MAT 5:31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”

Please reply. Thank you.

Regarding your article, “The Four Horsemen, al Mahdi, and the Magnetic Polar Reversal,” I wanted to clear up some mistakes you have, regarding the issue of the Mahdi (while you are entitled to your view, it should be based on authentic and accurate information).

Firstly, the Mahdi in Islam has NO supernatural abilities or origins. He is a regular man born a regular birth with a regular life except that he will revive the religion. If you are getting this information from somewhere it is undoubtedly NOT from the majority school of thought. Rather it must be from a minority sect or those who claim to be from Islam.

Also, his descriptions of carrying a bow are also not founded in any authentic Islamic sources.

And a final and extremely important fact is that the Mahdi will be present before the anti-christ shows himself, and then during the Mahdi’s time the Anti-Christ will show himself. The Islamic sources clearly distinguish this fact, meaning Islam sets them apart as two unique entities.

Therefore I suggest if you want to discuss the truth of any matter, then you have to have TRUE information with you (ie accurate, authentic, and reliable information). I hope that at least you will clarify these points in the article you have posted. This is the least one could do for intellectual respect.

Thank you so much for your website. In the short time since I first discovered it, it has helped me tremendously.

Within the Olivet Discourse from Matthew 24:32-36, verse 35 states that “Heaven and earth will pass away…” I’m a bit confused in that the consensus seems to be that the earth and Heaven will remain into eternity. Is this wrong?

When drought forced a flight into Egypt, how many Hebrew people were involved in the eventual slavery under the pharaoh ? Thank you.

I was doing a study about the Nephilim and their possible return during the 7 year tribulation period and a couple of questions came to mind:

1) If the Nephilim are indeed revealed during the tribulation, when would this happen and what is a possible role for them?

2) I have seen Daniel 2:43 used as a passage that “proves” the Nephilim will make a return during the tribulation. However, I only see that hint in the KJV. The NIV says “…so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united…” which could mean simply that in the last days people will not agree with one another and there will be plenty of fighting between them. What does the actual Hebrew text translate to?

Your website is great. I fully expect something major to happen before President Bush leaves office-the Rapture of the Church-Ezekiel 38. I have heard (a well known prophecy teacher) say that he believes the rapture will take place during the Feast of the Trumpets, which would probably be September 2008. I certainly believe that it could occur at any time. What are your thoughts regarding the Feast of Trumpets theory?

As you know, biblical prophecy is a great evangelistic tool. It presents relevance to the skeptic. What’s difficult for me when discussing the EU as a fulfillment of prophecy is trying to spin the “Ten Horns” into a 27 nation confederacy? If the Anti-Christ rules over the entire world (not just the EU) then how does that fit into a revived Rome? Rome did not rule over Japan or Canada or the U.S., for that matter. Who and where are the ten nations? You’d think they would have surfaced by now as a specific group and not just a symbol.

I read that Russian Pres. Putin has ordered Russian forces to a first strike alert status over the Kosovo situation. He has said that Russia will not permit the Serbian province of Kosovo to declare independence as the West intends. The article further states that America’s real goal is to prompt a war with Russia and not Iran. That plus the coming bird flu epidemic and collapse of the US economy will usher in the One World Government. Is all this true?
