Babylon’s Destruction

Q. In your article titled ‘Mystery Babylon…what’s the mystery’ you state the following.

“But during the Gulf War they discovered that ancient Babylon had never been destroyed in the way the Bible describes. Further research showed that it’s been continuously inhabited since the days of Nebuchadnezzar, and Saddam Hussein has expended much effort in restoring it.”

I am a believer but this confuses me since the Bible is to be 100% accurate.  Can you please explain this?

 

A. Here’s what I meant.  Since Babylon has never been destroyed in the way the Bible describes, we know that prophecies such as Jeremiah 50:39-40 that speak of Babylon’s permanent destruction have not been fulfilled yet. The fulfillment of these prophecies awaits God’s final judgment upon Babylon in Rev. 18.

Is it Scriptural: Can My Grandmother Still Be Saved? -Jack Kelley

Can My Grandmother Still Be Saved?

Q. Would you tell me if there is any biblical basis for my belief that  prayers for the softening of a person’s heart who has already died will be heard from God and accepted? My understanding and view is that God is Lord of the Past, Present and Future; that he exists beyond my comprehension, over and above any time constraints. Because  I view him thus, I believe that my prayers for a softening of my late grandmother’s heart that will lead to her salvation combined with the belief that God desires all to be saved can lead to an intervention in her life by the Lord such that her belief will turn towards him. I’ve asked other Christians what they think about praying for dead loved one’s salvation and have been told by some that ‘what’s done is done and you can’t pray for someone who is already dead’ , but others have agreed with my view and think anything is possible with God. Biblically, which view is correct?

 

A. It pains me to have to say this because I can tell you loved your grand mother very much.  But it appears from the Bible that the over riding purpose of our life is to choose whether to accept the Lord’s death as payment for our sins or not.  When we die the time for making that choice expires and if we haven’t chosen the Lord by then it’s too late. The thought that anything is possible with God doesn’t account for the fact that He has made the issue of salvation a matter of our choice.  Hebrews 9:27 says that man is destined to die but once and after that to face judgment.

But you can take heart in knowing that no one knows what might have taken place in your grand mother’s mind in the last moments of her life.  If with her dying breath she asked the Lord to forgive her sins and accepted Him as her Savior then you’ll see her in Heaven.

Elenin, Feast Of Trumpets, And The Rapture

Q. I read recently that there is a comet Elenin that will cause 3 days of darkness during the 28-30 of Sept and the Jews celebrate the feast of the trumpets on 29 Sept when the new Moon is revealed, which may be a possible time for the rapture to occur since no man knows the day or hour because of the darkness and the Lord has fulfilled all the spring feasts in His first coming and will probably fulfill the rapture on the feast of the trumpets.

 

A. Most of what you hear about comet Elenin is unsupported opinion from people who don’t know what they’re talking about. Paul said people like this have a zeal for God but not according to knowledge (Romans 10:2). Those who do know what they’re talking about say you’ll be lucky to even see it let alone feel its effects. It’s closest approach to Earth will be about 21 million miles (on Oct 16) and its gravitational pull will be immeasurably miniscule.  One astronomer said its effect on Earth will be similar to the effect a mosquito would have on a super tanker.

As for the rapture, I believe the time is near but remember, it’s a secret, signless event.  There’s no Biblical support for any kind of warning that would alert us to its coming.  Neither is there any Biblical support for the Rapture happening on the Feast of Trumpets. It will happen at a time no one on Earth could have predicted in advance, although as believers we should be living in a constant state of expectation.
