This is kind of a 2 part question. (I read one of your articles on healing)

1. Is it okay to use medicines?

2. I have a few things that cause me daily discomfort (pain). If I choose to go a more natural route i.e. herbs, is this okay?

I know herbs are mentioned in the bible (specifically, I remember the phrase “bitter herbs” ).

I just don’t want to be taking anything out of context (or misunderstanding proper uses of these things), if it is not alright to use these. Specific helps have been garlic, ginger, red peppers (chiles), kava (occasional low dose root extract capsule), grape seed oil and (vitamin c and d, though not herbs) (frequency of each not in the order given).

I have put a fair bit of effort into finding things that help, so I don’t have to rely on prescription stuff. However, I would be unhappy if my experimentation in these areas is not a good idea.

I have been studying prophecy for just over a year now, and I have a traditional pre-tribulation rapture perspective. However, there is one issue that makes me question whether I have the correct rapture position, and that is the language regarding the wrath of God.

I understand that “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thess. 5:9 could refer to wrath as in eternal hell OR the wrath mentioned in the Great Tribulation. I am assuming it relates to the wrath in the tribulation…if not, I know there are other passages which speak to the believer not enduring the wrath of the tribulation.

Anyway…I have not been COMPLETELY convinced that the wrath of God begins with the seals, because wrath/avenge/judgment are not mentioned until the 5th seal, Rev. 6:10 and then it seems to INTRODUCE the wrath of God only at Rev 6:16-17.

As you know, the first 4 seals have already been opened on the earth, but where does it mention that the seals are indeed included as a part of the wrath of God? I find many hints suggesting that they are included because the scriptures addressing seals say that the events unfolding from them were given/granted/empowered by God..and that they would affect the whole world (Rev 3:10)

Please help me either define the seals as the wrath of God or help me understand why they are not. Thank you so much!

During my recent Bible studies, I began to delve into the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15. I had never really studied it before. I started to wonder at the meaning behind abstaining from blood and the meat of strangled animals and how it applies to Christians today. After going through various commentaries, I received so many varying points of view that I felt entirely uncomfortable eating any meats.

What are your thoughts on the following:

1. The purpose of the edicts in Acts 15 and their applicability today

2. The Law of Moses’s place for today’s Christian 3. Kosher as it applies to believers today

There’s so much going on in the Middle East and Syria is moving all important documents out of Damascus- which is interesting to me. I wonder if the destruction of Damascus will be a set-up. What I mean is this- right now so many countries are trying to pin any sort of confrontation on Israel before it even happens. Iran is trying to cover it’s moves by diverting attention anywhere but on itself. Russia doesn’t want the US to interfere with it’s plans to be better partners with dangerous countries. Syria says that it believes Israel is planning an attack on Damascus- and you know if it happens all fingers will be pointing at Israel. Then all the other mideast countries will be “fighting for/with” Syria against the “Zionists”… what if the attack were done by another country, but all the evidence was looked over because they want war? Is that Biblically possible or does the Bible make it clear how Damascus will be destroyed?

One of your articles discusses the timing of the 6th plague and the change in magnetic fields regarding the north and south pole. Assuming that the sixth plague of earthquakes is fulfilled in 2012, how does that place the timing of Is. 17, Ez. 38/39, Daniels 70th week, etc? The point being that if we go through this summer without Is. 17, then it will be supernatural to say the least to squeeze war, false peace, war, and the anti-Christ peace into five years or less. What is your opinion of the scenario if we miss Is. 17 this summer? Is there any impact on the 2012 scenario?

I want to thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate your ministry and have learned much from you. Thank you and God bless you!

My question is, I have some money wrapped up in a 401k and cannot get it out without quitting my job. I truly believe we are so incredibly close to the Rapture that I am trying to get everything situated in my life for the day I disappear. I was wondering if it would be wise to leave the money I can’t get at to a ministry that will use it for good after we Christians are gone?

If it would be a wise thing, do you know of any ministries that are worthy, or if you don’t want to name any, could you help me somehow? I know this may be a hard question, but I really want to use my resources for the Lord’s Kingdom. I have given up worldly comforts and possessions to focus more on the little bit of time I have left here.

After Christians are gone who will be the ones to take over ministries? And who should I give my money to? I can’t answer these myself. See my dilemma? After we are gone will the unbelievers who wake up and get saved restart the churches? Should I leave it to my church’s account? Also, what about all of my other assets? I am going to make a will and want to leave all of it for the furtherance of the Gospel of my Lord! Since you have expertise in financial matters and are a Godly man, I would like your sincere answer. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for answering these questions! I always enjoy your perspective. I know your good with numbers and dates, I have another “date/calendar” question.

Our calendar is different from the Hebrew calendar. Does God have a preference? And speaking of dates. Do you see any significance in the date 7/7/7 coming up on our calendar, next Saturday. It falls on Saturday, the 7th day.

I thank God for this wonderful site. There’s an air of freedom about it. My question is: Where in the Word does it mention that we are not to talk against Satan?

I was talking to a friend and he strongly believes that one can lose their salvation. I brought up that your salvation cannot be pulled out of God’s hands, and he agreed. Then he said that it only worked that way if you did not sin. He stated that that was the reason as to why people go and repent everyday and night, to again be holy and be secure in salvation. Basically, he stated that we “work” for our salvation day and night by prayer. What should I tell him, for I am a bit intimidated.

Also, why do we pray for our forgiveness everyday if we are already saved?

I have been thinking about the Oslo Agreement which apparently has been written but never confirmed. I understand that it is a 7 year agreement but the 7 years have never started. Do you think the Oslo Agreement might be the document, which the Antichrist confirms?

In addition, I am also very interested in the Isaiah 17 passage relating to Damascus. Do you think that the destruction of Damascus could happen this summer?
