What Could Cause The US To Abandon Israel?

Published: November 27, 2007
Q

I feel like I’m writing to a friend every time I’ve asked you a question.Bless you and everyone in your ministry.

There is a certain person,hoping to get the nomination for president, who has some background in Islam. If this person would become our next president and the battle of Ezekiel is as close as we believe it is, could this be why the US would stand down and not come to the aid if Israel?

Could you elaborate on the scenario of this person winning and what his role could be, not just in the US, but in the Middle East? It seems that this could be a person that Jews and Muslims alike might accept. I hope this doesn’t seem too wacky a question, but as a lover of God’s prophecy ,it looks like a red flag to me. I don’t see the anti-Christ in every leader or around every corner,but I do hear the footsteps of the Messiah!

Are There Some Children Who Aren’t Saved?

Published: November 27, 2007
Q

I would like to hear your thoughts on the following question. Does the Bible teach or do you believe all children before the age of accountability will go to heaven or is it possible that only those that God foreknew would accept him had they lived longer would go to heaven? Thanks and may God continue to bless your ministry.


The Ten Lost Tribes Of Israel

Published: November 24, 2007
Q

While doing research on the Lost Tribes of Israel, I came across a lot of sites that truly believe Manasseh and Ephraim have become the nations of Britain and America. They say that Joseph brought his two sons to Jacob, that he might bless them before he died. One was to become a great nation while the other would become an Even greater nation of many peoples. The research states that Manasseh means, “to forget,” and thus these people are unaware that they are the lost tribes.

With current situations as they are and Britain and America’s role with Israel, do you think that this is possible? Could this be referred to as the “Time of Jacobs trouble?”

Of the Tribe of Dan, it is stated that he will judge his people. Could the Anti-Christ perhaps be from one of these nations, not knowing his lineage, or perhaps from the Tribe of Dan?

Knowing the Jewish people are awaiting their Messiah, I remember Jesus said, “I come in my Father’s name and you receive me not, another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” I can not imagine the Jewish people accepting any Muslim as their coming Messiah. Do you think possibly these tribes are active in these times, unaware? Thank you again for your great teachings!

Do you believe the sabbath to be Saturday or Sunday and if Saturday, do you think that the Sunday belief is actually the mark of the beast? Also, would you say that the beast is actually the Catholic church?


The Mark Of Cain

Q

Here’s a question I am sure has been asked and answered a million times. But, I have never seen an answer. Does God reveal to us anyplace in scripture what was the Mark of Cain? Many thanks for your answer.


Annapolis And Ezekiel

Q

We hear lots of talk about Annapolis. What is your take? Just another conference doomed to fail, or the beginning of the end in terms of Bible prophecy?


Messages From Haggai

Published: November 21, 2007
Q

The Lord led me to the book of Haggai today and I was wondering if you could help me out with the months the Lord is talking about in 2:18 and in 2:20.

According to Haggai 2:18, which Jewish month on the Calendar is the 9th month? Would God be using the pre-diaspora calendar or the post one? Would this be the year that the half month was added changing the month that would be called number 9?

In verse 2:20, again God says He sent His word to Haggai on the twenty fourth day of the month. Was this the following month? Or was this one year later on the same 24th day of the ninth month as His word came to Haggai in 2:18?

Also, in verse 2:18 God says to remember the date that the foundation of the House of the Lord was laid. He says…”give careful thought to that day”. Was that date also the 24th? If not, which date was that?

I can’t help but wonder with all that is going on over in Israel today, if these days are important again.

Today is the 11th day of Kislev. Which month number is that? The twenty fourth day of Kislev lands on the first day of Chanuka when we are supposed to light the first candle.

In light of our current economic situation here in America and our pressure to force a peace deal that splits apart Jerusalem that should be taking place that very week, I can’t help but read verse 2:21 and think….hmmmmm.


Ezekiel 38, Daniel 9, And The Rapture

Published: November 21, 2007
Q

I was wondering if you had a chance to wonder about Javier Solana’s comments last week in regards to the peace that is supposed to come to Israel and it’s enemies. Solana said that he expects an agreement will come in about 9 months.

With this being said by Solana, could this be the covenant that Daniel was talking about? “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week”? I find it very interesting also that Solana chose 9 months for the agreement. Especially when we see birth pangs happening to the earth. Around 9 months is the amount of time when a child is born. If so, wouldn’t that mean the rapture of the church would be right about now or very, very soon?


How Can He Do That?

Published: November 20, 2007
Q

I believe as you do that Eze 38,39 will occur before the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. With the invading forces being destroyed and that Allah is not “the God who answers by fire”, how can the antichrist present himself as a moslem?
