Read MoreAges to Come
by Terry Wane Benton Paul spoke of God showing the exceeding riches of His grace “in the ages to come” (Epheisans 2:6-7). Thus, the gospel of God’s grace would keep spreading for ages to come. Some erroneously think that Paul wrongly thought that Jesus would come back in his lifetime, but Paul knew the end…
Read MoreIs it “away from the presence of the Lord” or “coming from the presence of the Lord” in II Thessalonians 1:9?
Question: Like always, I have a question. In II Thessalonians 1:9 it has a commentary on the bottom. The verse says, “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,” then in the footnotes, I found in my Bible and on Blue Letter…
Read MoreHow can Jesus be coming quickly when it has been 2,000 years?
Question: Can you explain to me what this verse means? “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done” (Revelation 22:12).

Question: I’ve had someone ask me about where the soul goes after death and how that correlates with the resurrection. I looked up articles on your site and was able to answer most of her questions, but one still remains. In Luke 16:19-31 we, of course, read the account of the rich man and Lazarus, gleaning the spiritual…
Read MorePeter can’t be referring to the physical elements being destroyed, can he?
Question: To get to my point here, it is stated in the study you gave me on “The Second Coming of the Lord” that in II Peter 3 is talking about the “end of the world.” Let us have a closer examination of it, and we will find it means nothing of the sort. Please…

Question: Will the earth be destroyed? Answer: “Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of…
Read MoreWill the world end on December 21, 2012?
Question: I have heard from several predictions that the world is coming to an end on 12/21/2012. These predictions were made hundreds of years ago. These people who had calendars stop in 2012. Is it true or not that the end of the world is coming? Answer: I have no idea when the world will…
Read MoreWhen are we judged, at death or on the Judgment Day?
Question: Here is something that I am confused about. In I Thessalonians 4:17 Paul told the Thessalonians “then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and shall we ever be with the Lord.” Now in II Corinthians 5:10, Paul…
