Q/A:
Can you please explain the
prophetic importance of Daniel 9:24-27? How
does the prophetic timetable break down, and when events are involved in say the
70 weeks, the 62 weeks, as well as the 7 weeks of verse 27?
Q/A:
I am a Christian, and hope
you will answer this question for me. I
have researched and asked people, but cannot get a good answer.
Q/A: Who or what is the mark of the beast spoken of in Revelation? - Don
Q/A:
I am writing in regards to
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Do you hold
any position about end times? I am
new to Christianity. I agree with
you strongly about associating every event that occurs today as alluding to end
times. After all, the Bible tells us
that no one knows--not even Jesus Christ--when this will occur.
I am always leery when money is to be made from scripture, books,
memberships, etc. - Norman
Q/A:
I am leery of your watered
down approach to Christianity. It
seems as though for your “church”, anything goes.
From an article I read on your website concerning the Book of Revelation,
it is made to seem like it is just a fluke book that you would prefer rather not
be included in the Bible.
Q/A:
I
was watching a television evangelist and he stated that the war in Iraq is the
beginning of the end. Is this going
to be the start of the Tribulation or is this television evangelist and others
jumping to conclusions?

President Bush has created the “Roadmap for Peace” for Israel

Q/A:
Many years ago I read
several of Hal Lindsey’s books. I
found him very interesting to read. One
of the things I liked best about him is that he never claimed to be some sort of
prophet and he always qualified his interpretations of prophesy.
He used several different Bible versions to help illustrate his views.
I’m curious to know if you’ve ever read any of his books and if you
have any opinions about him.
Q/A: Where in the Bible will I
find a description of the temple being built shortly after the Second Coming of
Christ? I recall reading about it a
while ago and I must have lost it. Your help would be much
appreciated. God bless you! - Nathan
Q/A:
I have been doing a recent
study of the book of Revelation. Chapter
12 is about the origin of the church—the “woman” from her pre-existence to
her escape from Satan’s wrath at the end time.
Secondly, the chapter also talks about the birth of Christ (the “man
child”) through his sacrificial death and ascension into God’s throne where
he is today, and thirdly, Satan the “dragon”, his exploits from the angelic
rebellion to his persecution of the church before the second coming of Christ.
Q/A:
I have been studying into
Jesus Christ’s prophecy in Matthew 24. The
Lord states that many will come in his name, claiming that he is the Christ and
will deceive the many. What is the
deception that the Lord is talking about here?
Are Christians generally in the most part deceived? Please expound on these questions. Thanks.
Q/A:
Hello again Greg. In
studying the book of Revelation I have come upon something I need to ask you
about. Could it be when something
is described as “what was, and is not, and is to come” could that be because
we in this physical realm are constrained by time and those in the spirit world
are not? In other words, can God
and the angelic realm look over the complete arena of creation including all of
time?
Q/A: Luke 21:36—the destruction of the temple and
Jerusalem—when is this time referring to?
Q/A:
Please explain Malachi
chapter 4, verses 5 and 6. Has
Elijah already done this or is it referring to the Second Coming of Christ?
When will the hearts of the fathers be turned to the children and the
children’s hearts turned to the fathers?
Q/A: When Jesus mentions the
Abomination of Desolation in Matthew 24, is he implying a Temple will be
standing and in use during the tribulation?
I have heard it explained in two ways—that he was making reference to
the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, and also that there will be a third temple
built. Also, what are your thoughts
on an actual Antichrist coming into power?
Q/A: My 33-year old son sent me
the following e-mail note this morning: “In
the year of the new century and nine months, from the sky will come a great king
of terror. The sky will burn at
forty-five degrees, fire approaches the great new city.
In the city there will be a great collapse of two twin brothers torn
apart by chaos while the fortress of the great leader will succumb.
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.
Q/A: It seems that Jeremiah 33:18 indicates that
sacrifices will be ongoing when Christ returns.
Is this a correct understanding of this passage?
Q/A: Greetings
to you and your staff. I support
almost everything you write, but I had a problem with the article on the “Left
Behind” movie/book series. I have
both seen and heard positive results from people inspired to think about their
lives and what their future might be. We
had a local TV personality tell a Christian talk show about how someone gave him
a copy of the “Left Behind” video and he went and gave his life to Christ.
Others I have heard of, but the very most important one to me was in my
own family—after showing the video to my son, I asked him where he thought he
would be if he were to die on his way back home.
He said he wasn’t sure. I
asked him if he wanted to be sure and he said he did.
As a result, the Holy Spirit blessed me with the honor of leading my son
to Jesus Christ.
Q/A: Where did the number 666 come from? How was it calculated? What is its’ significance? - Steve
Q/A: Christ told the disciples he would return. Didn’t he do just that in most of their lifetimes just like he said he would do? Aren’t the prophecies about the end already fulfilled? - Wayne
Q/A: How do I convince someone that Revelation is not apocalyptic but prophetic? I am teaching a Daniel class. She is Roman Catholic. - LaQuay
Q/A: Is there more to the return of Jesus Christ than his dramatic glorious return that will be visible to the world? How could Paul have been so wrong about the return of Jesus Christ? Does reference to "last days" really just mean all of the time after Christ – the latter days, since we don’t have any idea when he will return anyway? Is this not a better way to look at this than trying to pinpoint the "last days" just before the return of Christ, which seems to get Christians off track and getting all involved in prophecy and speculation? - David

Q/A: I recognize the importance of always asking for the guidance of the Holy Spirit when it comes to analysis and interpretation of the Scriptures, especially concerning the Second Coming of Christ. I agree with you that our Lord has warned us many times to always be ready because we do not know when the Master will come. Before his death, Christ himself told his disciples that he didn’t know the exact time when he would return, but only his Father in heaven. However, I believe that since Jesus gave the book of Revelation to his apostle John, our Lord knows when he will return and he is preparing his church by giving a better understanding of the Scriptures. Near the end many will have grown in knowledge and in grace and will have a much improved understanding of the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation, just to name a few. They will be able to recognize the signs that Jesus told us to watch for before his Second Coming. Therefore, I honestly believe that it is possible to know when our Lord Jesus is coming back to Jerusalem because the Holy Spirit is the one who provides the answers to those who seek according to our Father’s will in heaven. What do you think? - Pierre
Q/A:
I
believe that there is one God, and only one.
I believe that there is a deity, but can the Holy Spirit be a person?
Is the Holy Spirit a person? I
also have a question about hell. You
say that it is a separation from God. How
can you explain the Rich Man and Lazarus? I
thought hell was the grave.
