The Spirit of Anti-Christ

Last week’s Feature Article by Jack Kelley

Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. (1 John 2:18-19)

Feeling Financial Pain

Q.  Due to the magnitude of debts, economists are claiming Taxmageddon is coming to America, and implosion is coming to the euro zone.  If economic meltdowns of epic proportions do take place, will the Church be here to feel the financial pains?

More On Purifying The Church

Q.  I just read a teaching on the site of a friend’s son. He has a post tribulation view.  He states that “the church needs to go through the tribulation to be purified” and that pre-trib. believers will become disillusioned when we find that in truth we have to go through the tribulation.

The Two Witnesses One More Time

Q.  I’ve read your studies on the two witnesses of Revelation 11, and you have really good points. Whether it is Enoch and Elijah, or Moses and Elijah, perhaps the exact identity of them is not as important as that there are two witnesses. Nevertheless, I was wondering if there was someone in the New Testament with the spirit of Enoch or Moses, just as John the Baptist had the spirit of Elijah? And if so what could we learn from this?

OSAS And Exodus 32:33

Q.  I highly appreciate your views to every question thrown upon you. In this regard, I would like also to have clear explanation regarding Exodus 32:30-33, most especially in verse 33, which says, ” The LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.  How do you relate this verse to OSAS?  I am a born again christian and I believe on OSAS, but there are times when I sin.   Does that mean that whenever I commit a sin, my name is blotted out from the book of life, and when I repent it will be written again? Please explain.

Who Makes Us Sin?

Q.  In James (1:14) we read that “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.” which implies that we are ostensibly our own worst enemy. Meaning that the reason we sin is solely because of our own sinful nature and not because of some outside influence (the devil). However, in 1 Peter (5:8) we read “your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” and again in 1 John (4:4) we read “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” These two scriptures would imply that temptation by the devil does exist and that (at least some of) our sin IS due to the devil.

Hail As A Weapon

Q.  Does Job 38:22-23, which speaks of storehouses of hail that God has reserved for days of war and battle, refer to the end times as one prophecy magazine has stated?
