Questions and Responses

Question: In the millennium, a child will die being 100 years old and will go...where? After the millennium, the New Jerusalem descends to earth. This is not for all believers but only the church. Can you sort this out?

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: When the Rapture occurs, will we leave our clothes behind us in a heap where we were when Christ caught us up to meet Him in the clouds?

Question: The idea that the Antichrist will be resurrected from the dead by Satan seems to be the prevailing opinion among evangelical pretrib teachers. I would appreciate your opinion.

Question: I am confused about “the dead in Christ shall rise”— what does that exactly mean?

Question: How will the world (especially the Antichrist) explain the Rapture—particularly in light of so much publicity around the Left Behind series?

Question: [composite of several]: You object to the idea that there was any death, even of animals, prior to Adam's sin. Death passed upon all men. Animals aren't mentioned and certainly don't sin. What would preclude animals from dying prior to the fall?

Question: Are there any more prophecies to be fulfilled before Jesus can rapture the church?

Question: When questioned [on STSD] about what you said [about the Rapture], you changed your mind, so I thought I would correct you with an understanding of a partial rapture.
