Questions and Responses

Question: Why does Revelation 17:8 (and maybe Revelation 13:8, depending on the translation used) refer to those “whose names were not written in the book of life from the creation of the world...”?

Question: I asked a pastor [a question] about the end times and the nation of Israel. Here is the response I received: "As you probably know, those with a strongly dispensational view...

Question: I recently heard the teaching that Genesis 41:25-32 spoke of a great end-time gathering of souls or revival right before the Great Tribulation....I don’t want to be confused, could you please help me?

Question: What about the Tribulation saints? How do they get to heaven? Do they have their own rapture?

Question: [Many verses lead] me to believe that the rapture (day of the Lord) takes place after the abomination and at the opening of the sixth seal. Am I wrong?

Question: You have criticized preterism and amillennial teaching as being unbiblical...

Question: You believe that the “Woman” riding the beast in Revelation 17 is the Catholic Church. But what about all the other religions and sects in this world? Surely they are not going to all convert to Catholicism?

Question: We disagree with your premise on what God has in store for fleshly Israel, the nation. Neither the Old Testament nor the New Testament promises wholesale salvation for the Jews in the end times.

Question: Why does Revelation 18:24 say that in her (the Roman Church) was found the blood of prophets, and of saints and of all that were slain upon the earth? Clearly some people were slain by robbers, wild animals, Muslim terrorists, etc.

Question: Would you tell us your understanding of the endtime events? I believe in the Rapture, but when does it take place?
