When is the Rapture going to occur in relation to the Tribulation?

When is the Rapture going to occur in relation to the Tribulation?: "Question: "When is the Rapture going to occur in relation to the Tribulation?"

Answer: The timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation is one of the most controversial issues in the church today. The three primary views are pre-tribulational (the rapture occurs before the tribulation), mid-tribulational (the rapture occurs at or near the mid-point of the tribulation), and post-tribulational (the rapture occurs at the end of the tribulation). A fourth view, commonly known as pre-wrath, is a slight modification of the mid-tribulational position."

Surviving the end times - what do I need to know?: "Question: "Surviving the end times - what do I need to know?"

Answer: Often, people experience anxiety when they think about the future; however, it does not have to be that way. For those who know God, thoughts of the future bring eagerness and comfort. For example, describing a woman who knows and trusts God, Proverbs 31:25 says, “She smiles at the future.”"

On The Box: Today’s Show Notes: Friday, 1st March 2013.: "Sometimes it seems like the longer people are in the church, the stranger they become. For some their life revolves around small groups, fellowship potlucks, men’s and women’s events, etc. and they tend to become ‘weird’ and unrelatable to unsaved people, why is that? I don’t want become like that and possibly hinder the gospel, because people just don’t want to talk to me.”"

How can I understand the Book of Revelation?

How can I understand the Book of Revelation?: "Answer: The key to Bible interpretation, especially for the book of Revelation, is to have a consistent hermeneutic. Hermeneutics is the study of the principles of interpretation. In other words, it is the way you interpret Scripture. A normal hermeneutic or normal interpretation of Scripture means that unless the verse or passage clearly indicates the author was using figurative language, it should be understood it in its normal sense."

Was Judas Iscariot forgiven / saved?

Was Judas Iscariot forgiven / saved?: "The Bible clearly indicates that Judas was not saved. Jesus Himself said of Judas, “The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born” (Matthew 26:24). Here is a clear picture of the sovereignty of God and the will of man working together. God had, from ages past, determined that Christ would be betrayed by Judas, die on the cross for our sins, and be resurrected. This is what Jesus meant when He said He would “go just as it is written about him.” Nothing would stop the plan of God to provide salvation for mankind."
