We in the USA have been taught that nothing bad can happen to Christians here because the rapture will take place first. I can't find that promise for American Christians in the Bible. Do you think American Christians are spiritually unprepared for whatever may be coming that we have no promise we will be able to evade?
I was listening to a Christian radio show and a certain man called up asking some questions
regarding this and one of the passages brought up was Psalm 5:5 "The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong".
I was reading an article by (a well known web news publisher), about possible prophetic significance of the famous account of King Solomon offering to divide a baby between two women having to do with the current attempts to divide the Jewish State with the Arabs. What are your thoughts on this?
We hear a lot about a village without walls and we expect to see a dis-arming of Yisrael before everything gets going. But what if: the village without walls is attained thru deception and pressure and Yisrael leaves itself totally open to attack by bowing to the pressure to pacified the Edomites?
My Sunday school class is beginning a quick study in Proverbs. My teacher asked if I could summarize Proverbs 31 in a couple of weeks so I am doing some research. I have found a couple of ideas as to the identity of King Lemuel and wondered what your take on this is.
Is there any evidence in the new testament that anointing cloths are used in replacement of a person (except of course where Jesus was touched on the hem by a woman). I know Peters Shadow was held in high esteem, but did he or anyone else use cloths or garments?
I found it to be a very interesting article. However, I just had one question. Obviously, Mystery Babylon is going to be completely obliterated by God which would also have to take place while the anti-Christ is in power. I find it hard to believe for all of these events to happen in such a short period of time.
My wife has recently gotten very interested in a new show on the sci-fi channel called GHOST HUNTERS and I have to admit some of the shows are chilling in the PROOF offered to support claims of paranormal activity.
I have been reading the articles about the moon and eclipse and frankly, it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Date setting tends to give me the creeps. One web site did say that it was not an attempt to set a date, but rather to give info that might lead to further study on the subject, which I intend to do.
I was wondering if there was any special reason the story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38 was put in there, it seems such an interruption of the story of Joseph and just doesn't seem to fit.
I heard a sermon about God's blessings and successfulness in the earthly life of a believer. The preacher said that evil spiritual beings and forces are more a blocking factor of God's blessings to a believer than earthly circumstances.
I just read an article that says that a meeting will take place on July 13, 2008. The prophetic significance of this meeting? "The Union for the Mediterranean or Mediterranean Union will be geographically identical to the Roman Empire and will be the power base which will give rise to the Antichrist" Your thoughts on this?
We have a brother who was divorced by his unsaved wife 12 years ago when he was an unsaved man. He was Born Again about 4 years ago and has met a woman who is also Born Again. They’ve known each other for about two years and believe that the Lord has brought them together. Both of our pastors have recommend that this brother resign from membership.
Is the faith that saved us different from the faith for healing? Please correct me if I am wrong, this has always been a difficult issue for me. I have prayed for healings and other things and sometimes receive answers, but would say on average my prayers "fall to the ground."
The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:12)
Is this the new Jerusalem? When we are completely free from sin, will we have power and closeness to the creation where we hear mountains/hills sing and trees clap their hands?
I have had some news items come to my attention from Christian sources that say world food shortages are about to happen in the near future and that we as Christians should be trying to prepare. Other then tightening our finances what else can we be doing?
My question is simply, how do we reconcile OSAS with verses like "work out your salvation through fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12)… My pastor whom I love very much and support does not believe in OSAS and he brought up this scripture in making that defense.
I am looking for a deeper understanding of the trinity and its relation to each other. God is "one" being, three separate personalities. I get it on the surface but feel there is more to it than what I am seeing.
Can a normal person who reads the Word be saved for sure? One cannot deny that the Word uses words like the elect, predestined, foreknew, persevere. Can one not be saved by just believing Jesus Christ just as He says to do?
I'm preparing to begin a study on Daniel next week and I'm wondering whether or not the apocryphal chapters of 13 and 14 carry any historical merit at all (as in the case of 1st and 2nd Maccabees) or if I should just mention that there are 2 more chapters in Catholic Bibles.
In the NT, Peter says we should not just hear the word but do what is says. Do you have reference to a listing of what Jesus taught to those who would follow him…like love thy neighbor as thy self, love your God with all your heart and all your soul, etc.
I think voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil. I have always maintained that when voting for a candidate, I cannot and will not ever vote for someone who does not oppose abortion. My husband likened that to this: If you had to vote for Hitler or Stalin, would you vote?
Regarding the Strait Gate, does God allow a person to be deceived by Evil, or to deceive himself by the perversity of his own heart, and so, to miss the Strait Gate and go to Hell?
Re: John 14:12. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. Where in history has any human being done anything greater than Jesus did?
I'm not sure what is the definition of "Human Rights" but I do know that the Bible aspires us to do good, protect the weak and provide justice to the defenseless. In the case of Tibet, almost the whole of Western world reacted. As a born again Christian, what is the right thing that we should do or react to such situation?
Thanks so much for your ministry. I read your website daily. Here's my question: I stumbled onto a website recently that contends that Rev 9 was fulfilled through the decline of the Ottoman Empire. I don't know history well enough to argue.
My husband was taught by someone as a child that we wouldn't know our loved ones in heaven. He wondered if we would know our children and if they would know us.
I have a question...some churches have the Lord's Supper for all the saved and invite all the saved to join in for the Lord's Supper. Some churches have closed communion where only saved members of that church are invited to partake of the Lord's Supper. Which way is the right way?
My pastor is preaching through the book of 1 Samuel right now. Recently, we covered 1 Samuel chapter 6. I use a New American Standard, while my pastor preaches from a New King James. Verse 19 notes that God struck down 50,070 men, but some of our friends' translations said it was just 70, not 50,070.
I have a question I hope you can help me with...Strong's and my Bible concordances haven't given me what I need. The reference that I can't find is "the LORD inhabits the praises of His people". I have heard it so often - there are even songs that state this.
I know the Bible says that any man that calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. But why does Jesus say in Matt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it?
I don't understand how Israel could proceed to follow the anti-Christ if they had turned back to the Lord after the Ezek. battle. Ezek. 39:22 says: "The house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from that day forward".
I know there are many great figures in the bible that made some dreadful mistakes - David, Samson etc - and it has always been encouraging to me that God looked with favor upon these people; Was it possible for them to remain in sin and still be acceptable to God through faith?
Does it say anywhere in the Bible if souls are created at conception or if there exists a finite number of souls that were created at the beginning of time?
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. What do the three (spirit, water, and blood) represent?
It's written in Hebrews that the Lord Jesus was crucified OUTSIDE the city but Jews say that the lamb is killed IN the temple. How can these be related?
I am teaching Sunday school ages 5-11. I am going to teach the story of Cain and Abel but, I'm not having a good understanding of it myself or I may be thinking too deep into the story. I don't want them to get more confused. What offering was God initially looking for from Cain?
I have heard many times that there were multiple churches in each of the seven churches (Philadelphia had more than one church, and more than one church in Ephesus). What is your take on this?
In reading your article on passover something really rocked and shattered me, and I am in need of an explanation. In my quest for truth I am at peace when I come to an understanding, and things make sense. However when I find contradiction, it utterly upsets me. I need a little help.
With regards to Jesus emptying himself of His "God-ness" when He came to earth (Philippians 2:7), is Jesus still "emptied-out"? Or did he "refill" when he ascended to Heaven to sit at the right-hand of God?
As a Christian, I am torn between loyalty to my current employer and my desire for a more
healthy work environment. I'm too close to the situation to be objective. Any feedback you could provide regarding a Biblical perspective on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I recently read your article on "The Passover: History and Prophecy". I stumbled upon the part where you wrote about Jesus having the last Supper, or Passover meal, and where you claim to say he stopped at the third cup, the cup of redemption. Can you help me understand this?
I have always agreed with your interpretation of the Seal Judgments in Revelation, but lately, I'm wondering if we may be seeing them opened, with what's going on in the world as we read this.
I just read your response to a reader's question as to why God does not heal amputees and I think I know where the reader got the question from. Actually, it is one in a series of ten that question the rationality of believing in the God of the Bible. It is titled "10 questions that every intelligent Christian must answer."
Why does it sound like Jesus and the disciples are celebrating Passover on the first day of the Feast of Unleaven which begins the day after passover? I am confused about the timeline of when Jesus and his disciples ate the Passover meal, and when Jesus was crucified. The Gospel accounts seem to contradict themselves.
You make the suggestion that Jesus ate the Passover meal with his disciples on the evening of the 14th (beginning of the day). I believe this is a mistake as Jesus was on the cross at the exact moment the rest of the Passover lambs were being prepared 20 hours or so later.
After the resurrection why did Jesus command Mary Magdalene not to touch Him for He had not yet ascended to the Father, yet later in the chapter, Jesus asked Thomas to feel His wounds?
I appreciate your article on spanking/beating our children. I must confess that I have spanked my children and was spanked as a child. Your article has brought about a change in heart for my wife and me. I must admit that I was defensive when I first read it, but I have taken this past week to pray and ask the Lord about it.
If someone like an atheist, who previously rejected Christ, but later in life accepts him as their savior, then he is forgiven. Is not the Blasphemy of
the Holy Spirit then essentially when a person is in a position where they permanently reject Christ?
I am a Christian who didn't spank my children. Having grown up in a non-Christian home where I was painfully hit daily, I found the concept of honoring father and mother very difficult when I became a Christian, and resolved that I would not set that difficulty in the way of my own children.
My name is Rebecca, and I live in Western Australia. Over two and a half years ago I began to suffer with chronic tinnitus (ringing in both ears) which also led to depression and really bad anxiety, resulting in me taking anti depressants and anti anxiety medication which cause me blurred vision.
At the bottom of an article I recently read (the author) mentioned that the Jewish Sabbatical Years were 2001, 2008, 2015, every 7 years. Do you mind confirming whether or not 2008 and 2015 are Jewish Sabbatical Years?
When tithing, can a person take 10% of his income and give it to a ministry other then the church he is attending, such as a radio station he listens to, a out reach ministry and then call it "the storehouse"?
Am I correct in saying that three of the four Major Prophets (except Isaiah) came under Nebuchadnezzar in the Babylonian Captivity? In addition, I cannot find any scriptures relating to how any of the four Major Prophets died.
I know that we are all given a measure of faith, but how does one acquire or develop the kind that moves mountains? Is it something we have to work at or are we given only a certain amount? I am not looking to move mountains, but would like the kind that is unshakable and unwaivering.
I have a question regarding your response to "Is that you Lord" Why a lot of the time there has to be guess work in whether your prayer is being answered when prayer is supposed to be a powerful form of communication with God?
Did Jesus enter Jerusalem 4 days before his crucifixion and then 3 days to rise making the 7th day the feast to the LORD? I am trying to get the 7 days of Passover with Jesus. Can you please explain the unleavened/leavened bread with Jesus?
I agree with you on Ezekiel 38 and 39 regarding it happening before the tribulation. However, the bible study leader at church disagrees with me and pointed me to Revelation 20 vs. 6 and 7. Are we looking at two separate instances of a war of this type or are we looking at the same war?
The term "pleading the blood" or "pleading the blood of Jesus" has been used in certain churches for some time. First, what is this based on, and is it scriptural? What do you think of this practice?
I was listening to a well-known Bible teacher, who was saying that 2 Thes. 2:3 does not refer to a great departing from the faith (apostasia), but the Rapture. I may be missing something here, but my Strong's concordance lists "falling away" as apostasia. Your thoughts on this please?
God Bless you for your article about spanking. My husband was brought up by a "Christian" mother who would whip him with a belt for not wanting to go to church. Is it any wonder that he not only rejects going to church but rejected God Himself for many years?
I am very curious about how you came up with Petra, Jordan as the place fleeing Jews would run to (from Mathew 24:15) in the Great Tribulation. Is Petra the most likely city because the old Roman Amphitheater?
I have question about Acts 8:9-25. I believe as you, that in the church age that all who accept Christ as savior have the Holy Spirit sealed within us at that very instant. However the story about the Samaritan believers seems to contradict this. What's your take on why they didn't receive the Holy Spirit until the laying on of hands by Peter and John?
I love most of your articles and fully agree with about 95 to 98% of what you teach, but I have to say I disagree with you on your conclusions on this topic. Punishing a child for wrong doing is essential, in my humble opinion, and in many cases physical punishment is the most effective way.
When the Protestant Church broke away from the Catholic church, they held onto some of their teachings. Like Jesus being crucified on Friday and rising Sunday morning. We know Jesus said He would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Most of the time I read your articles and agree with you, but I have to ask you about proverbs 23: 13. I believe children need correction, and sometimes a little reinforcement in the way of showing them who’s in charge.
I was watching a fairly well known Bible teacher on television and at one point he said, " Why do you think the Lord condoned slavery?" His answer was that the slaves who had benevolent masters were actually much better off then if they had been on their own as they were illiterate.
The topic of healing is something I’ve been thinking of for a long time. I don’t have a problem believing God "can" do it. I have a problem believing he "will" do it. What are the true elements of faith? Its one thing to believe God can, but is it being presumptuous to believe God "is" going to heal?
I was asked if it was true that the Apostle John was boiled in oil? I said that yes he was. Then they asked me where in the Bible it said that. I was sort of stumped. I thought maybe the beginning of Revelation, but, I don't see it there.
I understand from (a well known prosperity teacher's) website that there are 7 blessings of Passover. Do you have any detailed article on this subject?
I believe you said you think Rev. 21 and 22 fit in between Rev. 20:6 and verse 7. My question is regarding the sea. In Rev. 21:1, it says there will be no more sea, and if this happens at the beginning of the Millennium, how does the sea give up its dead in 20:13, at the end of the Millenium and GWT?
We used to go to church where the preacher preached time and again, on generational sin. He taught that we needed to break generational curses. What do you believe the scripture teaches on this?
When I was growing up I was repeatedly mistreated by my step father. The "secret" did not come out until I was on my third marriage and in my 30's. My mother stayed with him anyway and a schism was created in our family and holidays became very stressful.
I have a question about the rapture that I have not seen addressed before. Most people that believe the rapture can happen at any time, seem to worry about destruction and people killed due to out of control vehicles and planes etc. when drivers and pilots are taken in the rapture.
I am a born again believer. I read on your website once where you said that death was the ultimate healing in a way for Christians. I suppose it is.
What about suicide? I don't think I can do it, but I can't take the life I'm living much longer.
I attend an Assembly of God church and their position and the Pastor's is that you can give your salvation back by continuing in sin or stop believing. My question is this, should a person stay at a church that opposes eternal security? Thank you for all you do and God bless you!
I came across a website and I found it discouraging as the question came about ... Why doesn't a loving God answer the prayers and heal an amputees (either legs or arms, etc.) when they are prayed for specifically?
Places like Psalm 25:14 & 14 speak of the fear of the Lord. Is it by fear then that we ultimately look toward Him for salvation? I think it was for myself when I realized how the life I was living was completely abominable.
I think I’m going to be sweeping the streets of gold because I probably haven’t had a pure motive for anything in my life. I wish I could have a truck load of crowns to throw at the Lord’s feet when I’m with him, but I’m afraid I’m going to stand before him speechless and then fall on my face. What can I say?
Jesus as we know was sinless, but when he was on the cross he cried out "My God, My God why have you forsaken me"...and at the moment he was bearing our sins, however he himself did not become sinful because of them, so did God turn away from Jesus at that time as if that were the case?
I have a question about Hebrews 11:23. When the parents of Moses "saw that he was beautiful" - does this mean something other than he was just too good looking to kill? Did they recognize him as the deliverer?
The Bible states that on Judgment Day, everyone (those who've accepted Jesus as well as those who haven't) will give an account for every thought, word, and deed either good, bad or indifferent. My question is: WHY?
We have been seeking the will of the Lord in our lives. How can we tell the difference between the Lord speaking to us, Satan speaking to us, or our own thoughts? I am so frustrated with this whole process because we are trying to make a major decision about moving overseas. Why can't we seem to receive a clear answer from the Lord?
God provided manna to the Israelites until they entered the promised land through-out their 40 years journey in the desert but there are a few questions that cross my mind.
Your article on the 144,000, or the 12 tribes of Israel, was insightful. But you conjecture that "it makes sense to view the 144,000 of Rev. 7 just as they're described...Messianic JEWS called by the Lord to witness to the world after the church is gone." No, Jack, it does not make sense.
I've been in a situation over the years where I've had the opportunity to teach. Mostly because I've been more familiar with the biblical material than many of my male counterparts. Now, I find out this is some form of heresy. The scripture quoted to me is I Timothy 2:11-15 and to question this is to question God himself.
When I was 4 years old, my mom had a miscarriage and my baby brother died.I know he is in heaven with Jesus, but are he and my mentally disabled sister (who belongs to Jesus too,I know) the members of the church?Or are they a different category as old testament and tribulation saint are different?
A friend said that our walk isn't really a straight path, but more of a giant circle. We're traveling in that circle in any direction and no matter what, we are still in Gods will. No matter what path we chose, even if it's a horrible one, God will still have us end in the end where he intended us to be. Is this true?
Is the seal on the foreheads of the Jewish evangelists the same Spirit of grace with which each member of the Church is sealed at the moment of their salvation?
I’ve searched your archives to answer the question as to whether or not demons can be forgiven if they ask for it and I can’t find it. I was discussing this with an officer at work and he believes that there will be demons that will repent and be saved. What do you think?
I came across a webpage last week which states if you suffer from certain ailments, you can pray to God using the psalms and the illnesses would heal. For example if you suffer from bad luck, you should pray the fourth psalm. If you have poor sight in your left eye, recital of the sixth psalm should cure it.
I was raised a Protestant, have Messianic Jewish friends and have attended their services and they are on Saturday. How can the Christian Church and the Jewish (Messianic) people have such a difference?
As I understand, the sprinkling of blood in the temple by the old testament priests was a ceremonial preparation for the cleansing of the hearts of all people who would accept Jesus' sacrifice (a future occurrence) ending the necessity for future sprinkling. (Heb 9:13 & 14).
I have a co-worker who is a Jehovah Witness. He states they believe that Jesus is the angel Michael. Could you help me in showing him, with scriptural evidence, that Jesus was God with us?
How do we as Christians resolve the conflict of what we know to be right and just according to the bible, Romans 13: 1-7 and ruling authority which is not Christian and in some cases antithetical, potentially hostile or down right deadly?
This is probably a wacky question, but I received an email yesterday that claims the anti Christ will be in his early 40's. I don't recall seeing any absolute physical description of this being. Is there any specific description of the anti Christ in scripture except the use of the pronoun "he"?
I was watching a pastor on a satellite channel, and he states there was a creation on earth before Genesis. He also stated that the serpent seduced Eve, and became the father of Cain. This just doesn't pass the smell test to me. Where did this come from?
I was wondering why it isn't common knowledge exactly
what dates Jesus was born on, and resurrected on? Have I missed something, or do you think we aren't supposed to know the answers for some reason? Thank you so much.
Help!! KJV - Gen 1:27 - God created Man - male and female? Then Gen 2:7 God formed man from dust and breathed life into him? I cannot find and clear understanding of these two passages. So was the first created man both male and female? And then the man "formed" from dust? Thanks much!
For over 20 years I labored alongside my husband in the ministry. He went home to be with the Lord two years ago. I still feel the call to minister. I know all the arguments against women ministering. What do you believe about women ministers?
While discussing the Bible with an Atheist, we were on the topic of sin. I explained how thru Adam, we inherited sin which my Atheist friend had some difficulty with. She felt that there are times when we have no choice but to sin. I asked her to give me an example, this is what she offered.
I was reading an article on (another) website, where the author stated that she believes that the virgins in Matthew 25 refer not to the "bride", but to her "companions". In other words, she is saying that there will be another Rapture which will occur at mid point of the Tribulation. What are your thoughts on this?
Luke 21 is often compared with Matt. 24 and Mark 13, but I believe there are some very important differences. Matt and Mark are private discussions with his disciples on the mount of olives. Luke 21 Jesus is teaching in the temple to the people (not just the disciples).
I was reading of your answer to the woman whose husband left her for a very young girl. You said that if he is a believer, all his sins are forgiven him because of what Christ accomplished on the cross. Technically, you are right. But I had hoped you would add that repentance is the key to forgiveness.
What are the blessings you talk about? I have tried to find the Lord and have accepted Him long ago. But I see no blessings in my life. Many people have said to me to just give my life and burdens to Him and He will fix my life up again. But I found through experience that that is not the case.
My sister lost a baby girl through cot death over forty years ago, and still the pain persists. She has asked me why God took her daughter. My sister has been very angry with God for this. How do I answer her question without getting into an argument?
My Husband and I have a question regarding 1 Timothy 4:16. What does it mean when Paul tells Timothy to persevere, because if he does, he would save himself? Timothy would already have been saved. Could you please explain this verse?
Can you identify "Chittim" for me. Seen in several places in the Old Testament, some being Isaiah 23, Jeremiah 2, Ezekiel 27, and Daniel 11. Thank you very much for any information or ideas that you have.
I understand you can be forgiven of divorcing your spouse but where does that give you permission to remarry when the Bible clearly says that man cannot separate what God has joined together and that if you marry a divorced person you are committing adultery?
Could you elaborate on the exact dates this year for Palm Sunday, the passover meal, the Crucifixion, and Resurrection Morning. I abstained from the first celebration and would like to honor the Lord at the Passover.
In Jude chapter 1 verse 9 it says, "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." I don't ever remember anyone fighting over Moses' body or is there a different meaning all together?
I understand that we have no need to fear about missing our pets and/or whether pets will be with us in heaven because the Lord wants only our happiness when we come to be with Him, and am comforted by that. However, my real fear pertains to what will happen to our pets once we are gone?
How do you interpret Ezekiel 18:24 in the light of OSAS? I believe fully that the saved person can't be lost, but wondered about this text. I have been greatly helped by your website, thank you very much.
Could you please tell me where it is found that you must be a Christian to take communion? 1 Corinthians 11:29 says, "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself not discerning the Lords body." Does this mean that you must be a Christian?
There seems to be those who say that once you are
saved you don't have eternal life until judgment day. The way I'm understanding them is that you are saved but yet some kind of sin that is not repented of (to cease doing) that comes into your life before you die will cause you to lose your salvation on judgment day.
I was such a bad example of a Christian when I first asked Him to save me. Although I have fully repented and am fully committed to the Lord and careful about my walk, I still worry about the passages in Scripture that say that the unrighteous will not go to heaven.
We have a pastor who said that there are 3 Babylons and one of them is the U.S. I do not believe him. If I am wrong tell me. We would be happy to know the truth.
Recently our family was discussing the topic of fear. I made the statement that it isn't wrong to be afraid. What is wrong is if we allow fear to overcome us. Unfortunately, I can't back this up scripturally.
I believe I have a serious case of social avoidance disorder (self diagnosed) and this has caused me to quit attending Church about 10 years ago, work only from home, and have barely any contact other than e-mail with acquaintance-level friends. I wonder if this could be demonic oppression or not?
I was discussing the matter of Ishtar vs. Resurrection Sunday with a pastor, and he suggested I stop worrying about something that God isn't concerned with, and he cited Romans 14: 5-10. Does this passage apply to my concern?
My ex husband told me when he divorced me for his best friends wife, 20 yrs younger, that he was forgiven for everything he does & will do in the future. He has yet to tell me & our 2 adult children he is sorry for hurting us & still feels he has done nothing wrong but that he just wanted to be happy!
God told Moses that prior to him, nobody knew God by His Name, YHWH, which I understand to be rendered "LORD". However, when you read the book of Genesis, the word "LORD" continues to appear. Am I taking it too literally when I understand God to have said that Moses was the first person to know Him as YHWH?
I understand the passages you quoted in your answer on the Doctrine of Election and see it as you do. However, I’ve always been confused with Romans 9: 21-23. This makes it sound as if God purposely makes certain people for destruction. This has never been very clear to me.
Having listened to your Prophecy 2008 series, I am curious about something you said. You mentioned the window of opportunity for the Lord’s Return as being sometime between 2018 & 2037; adding 70 years to 1948 & 1967. Why would you say that? Doesn’t the End Times start with the rebirth of Israel?
I have been speaking to some people who call themselves Mid-Acts dispensationalists. I have heard of this before, but I was never able to understand their position. I have begun to wonder if the mid-acts is another, more subtle form of Replacement Theology. What do you think?
I have been told that God was the originator of giving man more than one wife, in earlier times, because he was building a nation. I think on such Bible patriarchs such as Abraham, David, Solomon, Jacob and Moses, who were allowed to have many wives and in some instances were even given another by God.
Just some thoughts about your answer regarding the KJV's use of Easter in Acts 12:4. My understanding is that the Passover occurred before the feast of unleavened bread,so that the word was translated in that instance only with reference to the pagan festival that Herod was still waiting for to finish.
When a Catholic (or Episcopalian) recites the Apostles Creed, and sincerely means it, wouldn't that be the same as the profession we make to be Born Again?
Does any other belief system claim that their "God" is the creator of the universe and everything in it? I ask that because I'm sure someone will ask the inevitable-"How do you know for sure that your God is the one and only?"
A lot of "rapture" websites and a number of seemingly knowledgeable people are predicting we will have a very rough time of it before the rapture takes place. My question is what will our state of affairs be like during this time?
Each week I teach a class on Bible Prophecy. 2 weeks ago I asked our class to study the importance of Moses and Elijah's appearance before The Lord when he was transfigured. How could Moses and Elijah appear to Jesus since he hadn't died yet?
My husband has been trying to help his brother realize the times we are in. He has become discouraged and is giving up on him and not talking to him. He says that the prophets gave up when no one listened. I disagree. What are your thoughts on this?
There is a guy on another site that says those who kill themselves will go to the lake of fire.
He uses 1 Corinthians 3:16 and 3:17. I don't believe he is right. What do you think?
Although I don't subscribe to 'The Emergent Church' and 'Purpose Driven Ministries' teachings, I have always taught my children that we are to be witnesses to God's grace through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Are we still to reach out to the unsaved or just live our lives as we are?
I was reading an article by (a well known author) on the doctrine of election. He cites several passages that seem to indicate that we are not in any way in the process of deciding to follow Christ, but that He chose us, we didn't choose Him. Could you please shed some light on this subject?
Have you read (a well known author's) book on The New Temple and the Second Coming? He shows apparent evidence that the Sanhedrin court has reconvened and is in the process of preparing in all matters for temple worship.
My wife and I had been attending a country church for several years. At some point, the pastor started removing long-time members from the board that didn't agree with his idea of a "seeker-friendly" contemporary church, and caused many senior members to leave the church, including us.
My question today is why is the word Easter used in Acts 12:4 in the KJV? It is used for the Greek word Pascha (which is the paschal lamb) used in the password meal. I thought that Easter had its roots in paganism, so why would the KJ have used it?
Jesus said that anything we ask that is in the will of our Father would be granted. If we ask God to increase our faith and love for him, will he do that? I know that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, but does that include giving us a deeper love for him?
A non-believing friend asked me about something that I had never heard before and was wondering what your thoughts were on the subject. He said that the History Channel ran a segment about Judas and explained that the bible has been misinterpreted about Judas’s betrayal.
You stated that it begins on the first Sunday after Passover. If I understand it correctly, on a Jewish calendar Passover will end when the sun sets on Saturday April 26th, correct? Does that mean that Resurrection Morning will begin at that time?
How does one explain to loved ones that the real Resurrection Sunday falls on the Sunday after Passover, and not on March 23? Why is the church behaving like a bunch of lemmings?
I have a question about the meaning of the word "incontinent" with regard to this being one of the characteristics people will exhibit during the last days. Does it refer to the inability to control the urge to urinate, or is there a different meaning when the word is used in scripture?
I have been reading something that says the Talmud of Immanuel was the original Book of Mathew in Aramaic. I would like your insight into this. It makes me wonder if this is leading people to believe in the Antichrist.
Can you tell me what Jesus meant when he stated in Matthew 23:8-10 not to use the titles Rabbi, Father and Master? We have the Jews using Rabbi and the Catholics using Father for the Pope and Priests so are they deliberately disobeying Jesus?
There are those of us faithful who although we accept Our Lord as Our Savior, expect to be left on Earth to to fight the Anti-Christ and his forces post Rapture. It seems if we do, we'll be damned for all time. Am I just missing something?
I understand the typologies of many of the offerings in the book of Leviticus concerning Christ's sacrifice for us. I have trouble understanding why they are to bring a female from the flock for a trespass offering. How does a female typify Christ?
Our Sunday school class just had a wonderful lesson on the "doctrine of election" which greatly confused me and many others in the class to the point that we are going to repeat the teaching next week. Can you please shed some light on this subject?
What is your opinion on (a well known Pastor) that has been in the news lately? Is there really a white church and a black church? There are a few blacks that attend my church, but other than that it is white. I just want some clear thinking opinion on this.
My son has encountered a group of very godly young people. They teach that you must be saved only through the sacrifice of Jesus, however, they have just told him they do not believe that Jesus was God, but was a sinless man who lived a perfect life. My questions: Are these people saved?
My question is in reference to the question "how can a believer be lukewarm?" Could you reconcile where the Bible tells us that Jesus wishes we are either hot or cold, but because we are lukewarm, He will spew us out of his mouth?
In Gen 6:3 God declares man will no longer live longer than 120 years. So why is this number not considered when looking at the time frame from the establishment of Israel as a nation or the retaking of Jerusalem?
A friend recently made the statement that when she married her husband, she tried very hard to live up to the phrase in the Bible that said, I will make your people my people. My question is, was she interpreting this phrase correctly?
Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this. I read an account that says by folding His burial cloth Jesus was saying He was coming back. It this true?
Can a Christian who has fallen away for 8 years and come back to Christ, still be filled with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? All of this after repentance and being Water baptized again. Is it necessary to ask for the Baptism of Holy Spirit a second time? I still have my prayer language, etc.
Lately I've been conversing with a lot of rather vehement atheists--which tend to come with my line of work--and they've frequently confronted me with arguments that I know are weak, but I don't have a good, Biblical response. How do I explain Levitical law to an atheist?
We are told that Jesus will descend with a shout and a trumpet, but most teachers say the world will be confused and wonder what has happened. They use the word "secret." I can't reconcile the two ideas.
My sister and family moved to a place where prostitution is legal. My sister and her family are born again Christians. My sister's son is around 21 years old, married with 2 little girls and decided to look for a job at a brothel. Isn't this wrong?
I recently had a discussion with my wife about how my "works" will be rewarded in heaven. We are both born again Christians and believe faith in Christ is the only way into heaven. Since my wife and I are one flesh, will God offer His reward as a package deal?
Can you please explain again how Messiah was meaning His Jewish brethren when talking about "if you did it to the least of these my brothers, you were doing it to me", and how it means we should be helping the Jews today, whether monetarily or otherwise.
What is the Biblical position on masturbation? I have sons that will be at the age soon where this subject may come up and truthfully I'm not sure what to tell them. I have also asked some people that I respect very much spiritually but I really wanted to get your take on it.
In reading your Bible study today in Prophecy Update (Luke's Proof Text) I note you refer to the Day of the Lord as 3 1/2 years. Does this mean the tribulation period is 3 1/2 years not 7? As McGee says you have to put the cookies on the bottom shelf for some of us.
We are seeking a new church to worship with, and have been in contact with several prospects. When I asked one church if they supported the Emergent teachings, the pastor said that he was aware of that movement, but believe their's is an "Emerg-ing" church that is "reaching out" to their community.
I read your response to the question titled "should there be an Israel" and I was wondering about the last part of the verse you quoted. It says: "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the LORD, "will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before me."
Paul makes it perfectly clear that the rapture will happen in the twinkling of an eye. Yet, he also clearly indicates that the dead in Christ will rise first, followed by those still alive. Since no human could distinguish "first" then "second" if it all happens in a "twinkling," is there another layer of understanding?
A terrible terrible event just took place and I have been called upon to comment knowing that I am a Christian. My son's niece just had her first baby on the 18th of Feb. Yesterday we had a shower for them with the christening to take place today. The baby was laying in bed with both parents and when they awoke the baby was dead.
My wife accepted Jesus as her savior a few years ago. It changed her life. She asked her pastor to baptize her but every time something happened. Anyhow it never got done she was killed in a car accident 4 months ago. Would God keep her out of heaven because she was never baptized?
How do I answer the following questions from one who takes a historical perspective on prophecy, does not believe in a literal 3.5 year Great Tribulation, and thinks it began at the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70AD?
I have a question about the statue in Daniel chapter 2. Could it not be possible for the US to be the toes? We have European roots and our government has similarities to Rome. Our people are a mixture and the way things are heading, looks like soon we will no longer be united, as a people.
I have a question that a friend of mine is arguing with me about. Which religion came first? I say it’s Judaism, followed by Christianity, and he says it’s Hinduism, followed by Judaism. Can you explain to me which religion came first and subsequently followed, and how they came about? Thank you.
I'm trying to prepare a children's sermon. How do we explain to children that death is a time of rejoicing, as well as a time of grieving. Why is it that Jesus physically raised Lazarus whom He loved, but will not bring back our loved ones?
Given that the Seventieth Week has to or should begin on a Sabbatical Cycle, The date ranges, 2018 and/or 2037, looks like they don't match up with the Sabbatical Cycles. Also, when there is a Jubilee year, does the next Sabbatical Cycle start that same year or the next year?
People who don't believe in OSAS describe those who were once saved but have fallen away from the faith as being back sliders. From the perspective of OSAS, is there any such thing as a back slider? If so, how would you describe it?
I was wondering if you've watched certain Christian interview shows where the guests talk about receiving personal visits from Jesus and/or His angels - sometimes on a regular basis since they were kids? They say that during these visits, He gives them special revelations, prophecy, spiritual gifts, etc.
I recently heard a CD by (a well known teacher) saying that Prince Hassan Bin Tahal, may very well be the Anti Christ, since he is a direct descendant of Mohammad, has spent his life studying all the religions, is the President of the Club of Rome and would be the one person that all Islamic peoples would trust.
I've read that we have so many manuscripts and portions of manuscripts that we can be confident that we have the scripture pretty much as it was written, but other places, I read that this factoid is misleading, that the manuscripts are not as complete as we are led to believe. Can you give me any guidance here?
I thought I was secure in my salvation by faith. I was recently told, however, that 2Peter2:21-22 proved that I could lose that assurance. Is that possible? Now I'm concerned about this. Please advise me on this. Thank you so much.
I am not clear on the new Temple location. When Jesus put his foot on the Mount of Olives and the earth quake happens does He then go through the Golden gate to the temple?
The Bible tells us Hell was created for Satan and his angels. God foreknew the fall of Satan, the temptation and fall of man and all the future suffering of creation to come as a result of our fall. My 1st question is, knowing all of this why did He create Satan?
My mother and I love each other very much, however when it comes to specific beliefs we just have to agree to disagree, and one specific area we disagree on (which doesn't sit right in my spirit) is individuals claiming to have gone hell and or heaven and back, etc.
I recently read The End Times according to Ezekiel, part1. In the article You quoted Jeremiah (on the subject of child sacrifice). I have also read (on a different web site) that there are approximately 900 abortions in Israel every week. Do You think this could be true?
Of recent times I have been burdened with the "silence" surrounding the country of Jordan. In other words, while the greater region of the Middle East is involved in terror and the flames of battle, Jordan appears to be unscathed and/or untouchable.
I have been pondering the Sheep and Goats judgment and wondering what its purpose is if the goats had taken the Mark of the Beast. My question is, Could this be pointing toward the rise of an Islamic economy that has a mark as proof of allegiance, while those with no mark have dhimmitude status?
I have been having a discussion related to end times with a pastor and he mentioned to me that he does not think all prophecy is meant to be understood and he referenced 1Co 13:9,12; and 1 Jn 3:2.
In reference to Luke 15:7,10, if we are to know no sin in heaven, how is it possible for the redeemed in heaven to rejoice over a sinner who repents? Please help. God bless your ministry.
Speaking of the confusion of tongues at Babel you said, "I believe God first separated the people by physical appearance based on their family lines."
Do you have biblical doctrine or logical support for this claim?
Re: Loving Our Enemies. Careful Jack, you are starting to sound like a conspiracy type here. Yes, Hussein did try to have a sitting US president assassinated but to my knowledge no concrete evidence has ever tied him to the Oklahoma City bombing or even either of the World Trade Center attacks.
Another prophecy site I visit believes we are in the 70th week. They say the ENP Confirms the 1995 Euro-Mediterranean Partnership for Peace (fulfilling Daniel 9:27). What do you think of this?
Revelation 20:1-3 Tells of Satan's capture and imprisonment. From this, I assume John means Satan and his minions, not just Satan only. If Satan and company are locked up for the 1000 years, who administers punishment? I mean, as bad as Satan is, wouldn’t "hell" be about the equivalent of a bad boy being sent to his room?
In your study of Revelation 6 you mention Islam being the religion of anti-Christ. Recently I found the official web site of The Jewish Sanhedrin, who wants to establish Noahide Law world wide. How could these two religions come together in agreement for "one" world religion under the anti-Christ?
You wrote that God puts an awareness of "His eternal power and Godhead" in the mind and heart of all His creation, which I believe. But that is not the same as knowing that salvation comes only through belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus, which I also believe.
I just read your response to the question titled "Working Out Our Salvation" and I was wondering about one thing. When you said: "We should strive to be more Christ like in our manner of living. Not to earn something, for we've already received it, but to allow God to work in us according to His purpose." I believe you are mistaken.
In the Old Testament, God frequently led Israel into battle, but Christ tells us to love our enemies. Is the Iraq war contrary to God's will? Should we be loving our Muslim enemies instead of fighting them?
When talking to atheists, I am often asked some very difficult questions. It becomes frustrating at times, but I need help on how to properly address certain things they bring up. Any answers or advice would be great, I just want to make sure that I answer them properly.
I am witnessing to a young man and he asked a question I cannot answer well enough.
He asked about people in the world who absolutely positively have not heard of Jesus and they die will they go to hell?
Ezekiel 38:19-21 talks about a great shaking
in the land of Israel but in verse 20 it says "and all creeping things and all the men that are on
the face of the earth shall shake in my presence." If it is not world wide then why do all the men of the earth shake?
Do you believe sickness, disease and infirmities are the result of demonic activity and casting out devils should be used along with prayer for the sick? And do you believe curses can be a reality that must be dealt with or a tactic of the enemy whose goal is to cause us to doubt our freedom from the curse?
Thanks for your great illustration regarding "the fullness of the Gentiles". My question is what will the purpose of the church be once that perfect number has been reached?
I'm so very anxiously awaiting Christ's return for His bride and I know in my heart He'll be here soon, but I'm growing more and more weary by the weight of this world, the weight of my flesh. Am I the only one feeling these things?
Re: Phil. 2:12-13, I would like to have your comments on these two verses in regards to salvation. Currently I am still continuing to study on this topic, your opinion on Salvation is very profound. Why was Paul admonishing believers to work out their salvation with fear and trembling?
I always associated the destruction by fire of the heavens and earth in mentioned in 2 Peter 3:10&12 with the new heaven and earth in Revelation 21:1. But the reference to these events coming as a thief in the night would seem to be about the Second Coming. What are your thoughts on this?
I was Having a discussion with several of my friends about the millennium. We all agree that the earth will be restored to a Paradise. What we don't agree on is will there be sin?
I'm puzzled because Asaph says the nations named are conspiring against Israel. I just don't get the sense of an actual war from Psalm 83 -- only plotting and planning. If you believe Psalm 83 is a war prophecy, please tell me your reasoning.
With regard to 1 Corinthians 15, Paul of course is explaining the importance of the resurrection and in verse 29 he mentions the "baptism for the dead". I wonder if you could shed some light on this. Is it mentioned anywhere else in scripture?
When the old heaven and earth are then destroyed to make way for the new heaven and earth, does the bible say anything specific about the apparent need for another rapture, or transfer to immortality for those mortal believers in order to survive the destruction of the "old" and to live in the "new"?
Today, my young nephew died on his bike, when he ran into a truck, in another state. He had asked my brother to help him come to our state and work and live. My brother said he didn't have the money to help him with. Would he still be alive if my brother had been able to send him money?
Why is Satan called the dragon and beast. Is it his appearance? Did his appearance naturally change after he rebelled? How did demons, if they are fallen angels appearances change?
Is there currently a red heifer that meets the requirements for the ashes needed to cleanse the new Temple, and if not will they have to wait until it is 3 years old for it to qualify? I have read that there is one and then again I have read there isn't.
I know the Bible mentions a crown of rejoicing, a crown of righteousness, a crown of life, etc., but are these literal crowns to be eventually awarded the believer, or are they metaphors for something else?
In Hebrews 12:12-14, it says that unless you live the right way you will never be saved. Verse 14 adds that unless your lives are Holy you will never see the Lord. What do you make of this teaching in light of Grace, Justification and OSAS?
I was reading "The End Times According To Ezekiel, Part 1" , and came upon something that you had written. Not only is it confusing for me but possibly for many others who may have read this article. Below I have listed the verse and then after that I have pasted your comment.
I ran across an interesting analysis of Paul's use of the phrase "fullness of the Gentiles. He says when Paul uses this phrase he is talking about a Gentile church which is going to become so rich and full in its spiritual riches that it will awaken again the envy of Israel. Do you think this is what Paul meant?
As I was reading Revelation I came across the phrase the "Lord's day" in Revelation 1:10. I thought that when John says the "Lord's day" in this particular verse he was referring to a day of the week, (Saturday? Sunday?). However, I read a commentary which said that John meant something else.
I would like to know the meaning of the man as head of household, and should a wife do whatever the husband tells her if he's not faithful to God, drinks obsessively, has integrity issues,and squanders money?
I love the Lord and his word; today while reading Proverbs 16 the word heart struck me again. How can this be, does the heart think? Am I thinking too literally?
I've got a friend who I've been explaining Christianity to, now he's listening and wants to know why Christianity is correct, over all the other religions. Can you help me bring it home to him? I know the Bible is backed by prophecy that's come true, but I don't know how to say it right!
I've just read an article concerning putting in ID chips in some populations; To me this is very close to putting in The Mark! I just need to be very sure. We won't be around when this is done by the Anti Christ, right?
I would appreciate your thoughts on Mk. 11:12-14. This is the passage where Jesus becomes hungry and looks for fruit on the fig tree, but upon finding no fruit, curses it. Am I supposed to associate the fig tree with Israel?
Recently during a conversation I had an outburst of anger directed toward the world. Afterwards I realized how I really feel and ever since then I've felt horrible. The basic overview of the anger was that the world has gone to hell, there's almost no good left. The world will never be saved, people will never get better.
In Exodus, God listed that the thread colors of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet were to be used. In Revelation 17:4, the woman on the beast is arrayed in purple and scarlet and gold. Does the common use of these colors (including Revelation’s absence of the color blue) reveal specific clues about the woman?
I was talking to one of our Church elders last night, he was convinced that Queen Elizabeth 2's roots can be traced all the way back to King David. I was in no position to argue. He said God made a promise to David that his Throne would endure forever. Could this be true?
Question: As for the Gog war; the only thing that trips me up from believing it will happen before the 7 year Tribulation is the feast of Carrion mentioned in Revelation 19...could there be two feasts of Carrion-one before the Trib and the final one in Rev 19?
Re: 2 Cor. 5:8. I have always believed that what Paul was saying in this verse and those around it is this. That to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. In other words when we pass from this life in an instant we will be present with God in heaven.
I thought heaven was a place for righteous people, angels, Jesus, God, and the saints of old. How can he still be in heaven when he rebelled against God?
I was wondering if you believe that something about the human reproductive system changed after the flood that rendered the nephilim incapable of interbreeding with humanity as they did in Gen. 6. Why not just continue to mate as they did prior to the flood?
Have just read your article 'The End Times According To Ezekiel, Part 5' In it you said; "Even when Jesus came to visit, He stood and taught on the Temple Mount, but He never entered it". I found quite a few that said He taught in the Temple. Can you explain what you mean by this?
I have a friend that tells me that they HAVE to have the ashes from the last burnt heifer to mix with the ashes of the next offering to cleanse the Temple. I cannot find anything on this what will happen when they build the next Temple and need the ashes?
I am wondering how one prays an "effectual fervent" prayer? Does God require a certain level of emotion (fervency) to see prayer answered? How does one motivate oneself
to such a level of intensity? Does it apply to certain kinds of prayer or all types?
When I first accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, 2 days later I received the gift of The Holy Spirit and I spoke in tongues for long time. I don't understand why some believers attribute glossolalia ( tongues) to the work of the enemy.
I have a question about treasure in heaven. What will it be will it be a house or mansion or gold or silver? We were having a discussion on this at church and wanted to know.
One comment (I liked) in particular was this one; "I can't imagine the enemy carrying in enough of any traditional energy source to supply Israel's national power and heating needs for 7 years, so a more modern application is in order". Some thing else came to mind when I read this. Israel becomes energy independent.
I am curious about differences between the KJV and the NIV bibles when Jesus talks about murder and being angry at your brother. Why does (the KJV) say "without a cause" and why was this omitted from the NIV and ASV?
I was nine or ten when my dad told me that he was not my father. He explained that an incubus had crawled in the window and had sex with my mother. I was the result. I was utterly destroyed by this lie. I KNEW that I KNEW that I KNEW that God could never love me.
In John 19:30 it appears Jesus drank what the soldiers offered. However, in Mark 15:23 it appears He didn't and the other two gospels don't mention anything about it. I'm sure there is a good reason why there appears a discrepancy but can't think what!
Why did God have the Israelites that worshiped the golden calf killed, but do nothing to Aaron who fashioned the calf? And why was God so angry with Moses and Aaron over the water miracle in the desert, that they were not allowed to enter the promised land?
As far as your discussion of and references to 1
John 5:19 ("the whole world is under the control of
the evil one") and Matthew 4:8, where Jesus did not
dispute Satan's claim to the kingdoms of the earth,
how do you square that with God's sovereignty?
I would like to know if you believe that Saturday is the Sabbath and not Sunday. Do you believe that God rested on the seventh day from creation and we are to keep his holy Sabbath?
My wife and I have been going over the tribes of Israel and we noticed something and can not explain it. There is no tribe of Joseph. Ephraim and Manasseh are Josephs sons and Levi of course is the priests there for I guess they don't count as a tribe.
Any thoughts?
I was talking with a bible study teacher at my church and he said that he interprets 2 Thes 2:8-10 as indicating that after the rapture anybody who has heard the Gospel and rejected it prior to the rapture is ineligible to receive salvation in any sense before the 2nd coming.
Some Orthodox Jews claim that Daniel 9:24-27 was translated incorrectly by the Christian scholars. Hebrew "mashiach" has nothing to do with "the Messiah". Is that correct?
About 5 years ago our Pastor took on the practice of offering Ashes during the Ash Wednesday service. I asked him about it and also asked where in scripture it says to do this and he told me it was a sign of being a repentant Christian in a round about way and that there where no scriptural references to it.
We know that the Great Tribulation will last 1,260 days. But, regarding the first 42 months -- do we know that those days and months, are necessarily consecutive? Is it possible that there will be breaks in the progression of prophetic fulfillment to allow for the logistical problems of "everything coming together at the same time"?
I have a question re: the saints' or church judgment where they receive their rewards etc. I think someone called it the bema judgment or something like that. do you know about that? Where can I find reference to it in the Bible.
I am uncertain why God would want to have someone killed in order to let everyone else get into heaven? Why a brutal death? And where did the people from the Old Testament go when they died before Jesus came down to earth? How could they get into heaven?
I came across Titus 1:15-16, and I can't help but wonder ... was Paul referring to unsaved people, or was he referring to "legalistic" Christians ... today's Pharisees, if you will?
In our Sunday service we say "the Lord’s Prayer". The wording has been changed to "forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us". Is sin the same as trespass? I know that I must forgive others who do me wrong but am I forgiving sin or trespasses? Thank you for your help.
I read an article (in the Q&A section) that women should cover their heads when praying or prophesying. I talk to God all the time. Especially when I am in the car, or strolling my little one out-side etc... But I don't "pray" all the time. Am I being disrespectful when "talking" to God with my head uncovered?
Some propose that the battle of Psalm 83 will precede that of Ezekiel 38. If all of Israel’s enemies are destroyed in these two battles, why will there need to be a treaty or covenant put in place by the anti-Christ to protect Israel? <
