Q

Could you provide a little background information on yourself? I am wondering if you are formally trained in scripture or self-educated; if you have worked as a pastor/minister or if your on-line ministry is and always has been your focus.

Have you always been a christian, or did you come to Christ later in your life?

God has given you such wonderful gifts of understanding, insight and clarity that are of such benefit to all of us who have found your website.

Do you know why God tried to kill Moses in Exodus 4?


Animal Sacrifices In The Millennium?

Published: May 5, 2006
Q

Where in the Bible does it say there will be animal sacrifices in the millennium? I have looked and can not find that anywhere. I thought that the anti Christ would allow the Jews to sacrifice in their temple when he allows them to rebuild it until the first 3 1/2 years is up and he proclaims himself as God and then requires them to worship him. I thought during the 1000 year reign Jesus would not require animal sacrifices. Your insight on this would be appreciated.


Where’s The World Financial Crisis?

Published: April 30, 2006
Q

In February of this year, you referenced an article by The Laboratoire Europeen d’Anticipation Politique / Europe 2020 (LEAP), regarding the coming of a world wide crisis. We were frowned upon by many of our friends… as this being something of hype. Are you able to determine is this actually ever occurred and if there are any recent updates regarding it? Thank you so much!


How Can The Anti Christ Be Moslem?

Published: April 27, 2006
Q

In your article “The Four Horsemen, al Mahdi, and the Magnetic Polar Reversal” you state that the antichrist might come out of the religion of Islam. Even though I think it’s highly possible my problem is this. If the Gog/Magog war precedes the Tribulation like you believe (and so do I) and the Moslem armies are destroyed, wouldn’t that make Islam become irrelevant?

I can’t see anybody from that point forward thinking that the religion of Islam has any credibility left. Why would Allah cause his believers to be annihilated only to come back and see the Jewish temple rebuilt? I could see all Islamic peoples losing faith and seeing the true power of the God of Israel. That’s the point of the war, to make everybody see that the God of Israel still exists. This doesn’t mean they come to see Christ as savior, only that the God of Israel is the true God.

I’m still leaning toward the false prophet coming out of the House of Israel and the Antichrist coming out of the Gentile Romans. How do you think it might work out that the Mahdi might be the Antichrist or that this figure embraces Islam considering they lose the war? I would think this would put Judaism at the top of its game.


Not All Environmentalists Are Pagans!

Published: April 21, 2006
Q

I just recently discovered your website. You have helped me to really understand Bible prophecy. I have very much enjoyed reading your articles, until I came to “The Watchman.” I have been a Christian my whole life, but I am also a staunch animal rights activist and environmentalist and was very insulted when I read your comment about “pagan environmentalists.” How dare you make a sweeping generalization of this nature! There are many people like me who are concerned for the environment and all of its inhabitants and are also Christians.

Why is it “pagan” to be an animal rights activist and environmentalist? Do you really think that God approves of the way that humans have treated the land and the animals that he gave us? Were we not told to be the stewards of the animals? I love all of God’s creatures, and I am no more pagan than you are. I will continue to fight for animals and the environment until the Rapture happens, or I die. You might want to refrain from making generalizations like that, you could actually lose some people to whom you are ministering — isn’t that also what racists do?!!!


Are Our Children Raptured With Us?

Published: April 18, 2006
Q

I have been a born again Christian for over 20 years. I have always believed in the rapture, and my studies lead me to a pre-tribulation view. While I hope everyday that it could happen “today’! I have two children ages 5 and 9 that I assume would be raptured along with us. Is there a scripture to support this view?


What About The Emerging Church?

Published: April 12, 2006
Q

I’m interested in your perspective on the “emerging church”, and “new Christianity”, etc, that has come out of the ‘seeker friendly’ church movement. I believe that what is ‘new’ is not true and what is true is not new. My question is, do you see this movement tied to the end times? Is it one of the seven churches of Rev. 2-3? Or is it just a distraction that will soon fade away?


Sin in the World

Published:
Q

Q. I recently read on your site that you believe that sin is what gives Satan access to us and that we need to confess often to keep him at bay.  My question, then, is what gave Satan access to Jesus?  I know our Lord was sinless, so are you saying that sin in general gives Satan access to each of us (i.e. Adam’s original sin), or are you saying that our individual sin gives him access to us, or both?


Generational Curses

Published:
Q

My question today is about generational curses. I myself do not agree that generational curses are scriptural; I know that in Exodus 20:5 it states “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” Preachers/Teachers have used this scripture to build this doctrine, but they always leave out the part about “of them that hate me;”… When I put Ezekiel 18:20-22 together with this scripture to me it is clear that generational curses are not Biblically sound, what are your thoughts?
