Is hell in the bible? What if I quit church? Didn't Jesus die on the
cross to save everyone? Do I have free will? Is God mad at the world? Where's God? I don't understand the Bible! Am I going to burn in hell if
I sin? Is there a heaven
? My pastor says I have to be baptized. Where is my dead mother? Is
Satan real? Does God really care if I love Him? Is there a hell? Why
is there so much evil in the world? Isn't God in control?

This Week's Q&A:
Q: On several occasions you have stated that the eonian punishment/chastisement of Matthew 25 takes place on the earth, outside the Kingdom. That makes sense but, is that where Satan and his angels will also be (Matt. 25:41)?
Also, how do you interpret the numerous Old Testament passages (especially in the Psalms) which speak of all the nations turning to the Lord and worshiping Him? Considering that this is Old Testament, my inclination is to group these passages with the Kingdom rather than the consummation. But how does it fit with the eonian punishment of Matthew 25?
A: You are correct in that the Psalms refer to nations worshipping the Lord during the 1,000 year kingdom. But during this same time period, there will be other nations in the four corners of the earth, away from Jerusalem, who will be FORCED to bring their worship and their tribute to Jerusalem. It will be harder for them during the thousand-years, than for those nations nearer the Holy city. This is why Christ judges the nations: to position them in their appropriate places during this time period.
During this time, Satan is bound in the submerged chaos for 1,000 years, and is not loosed until near the end of the thousand-years, when he leads a doomed insurrection, gaining his army from the disgruntled nations at the four-corners.

I am a spiritual seeker, just like you. I have sampled the religious institutions of humans and found them unable to contain the greatness of God. All my life, I have had deep questions about God and my relationship to Him: Why am I here? Why is there so much evil in the world? Is the universe coming to an end? What will happen to my unbelieving loved ones after they die? How important is it to attend a church? I didn’t find answers in church. In fact, most of the churches I attended or visited didn't even want to hear the questions. Read more...  |

Why We're Near the End
The Beasts of Daniel, Chapter 7
Recorded live in a Christian radio station studio, these ten tracks explain the beasts of Daniel, chapter 7, as you've never heard them explained. Are we in the end times? What would happen if Jesus came back today and attended a Christian church? Are the Pharisees alive and well?
The Struggle Against Evil
Recorded exactly one week after 9/11, Martin contemplates evil and the part it plays in God's plans. Did 9/11 have to happen? How does this momentous event fit into end-time prophecy? Although this message will take you back to your memories of September 11, 2001, you will be comforted in the realization that God is still in charge of His universe and that we are nearer than ever to seeing Christ.
