1. Question from EBF Website: In light of the teaching that Christ’s death on the cross was a demonstration of His actual payment for sin at the foundation of the world, what does 1 Corinthians 1:18 mean?
2. Does the Rapture have to be exactly May 21, 2011, all over the world at the same time, or should we not worry?
3. Follow-up: I think that there is about a 15-minute window for everywhere in the world to be on the same exact day. Could we use such a principle to determine the time?
4. If God is drawing you, can you be receiving chastisement before you are actually saved (Hebrews 12:5-11)?
5. Do you guys hate gay people?
6. In Mark 15:25 and Mark 25:33-34, God gives us some time surrounding the crucifixion of Christ. It references the third, the sixth, and the ninth hours. Have you looked at these verses in terms of the times and is there a correlation to the time of the Rapture or the timing of the very end on October 21st?
7. In 573 B.C., Ezekiel had a vision of a man with a measuring reed, in Ezekiel 40:1-3. What is the spiritual meaning of the measuring reed, and is the man supposed to be Christ? From 573 B.C. to 33 A.D. is 605 years, which breaks down into 5 x 11 x 11. Do you know anything about this time path?
8. Is Luke 14:7-11 pointing to judgment day, May 21, 2011, and to those in the churches who feel worthy to be caught up?
9. Could I get your thoughts on 1 Kings 6:1 and 6:37? Could these pictures point to the time after May 21, 1988, and the building of believers outside of the church?
10. In 2 Kings 1:9-14, can you expound on whether or not there is a significance to the number 153, as it would be added up from 51 + 51 + 51?

1. 01:38 Question from EBF Website: According to the Holy Bible, no work should be done on Sunday. Is it premissable to take a two hour exam on Sunday to become qualified for a job?
2. 09:29 Is anything going to happen on May 21, 2009 (two years before May 21, 2011)? If so, is it going to be spiritual or physical?
3. 19:01 Luke 2:41-52 talks about Jesus going with Joseph and Mary to Jerusalem to observe the passover. Is there a reason why this is the only event written about Jesus when he was growing up as a young boy?
4. 25:31 Can you please explain why Tyrus, Moab and Edom, represent the churches?
5. 28:54 I have thoughts and desires to pass out tracts. I was wondering if this may mean I am saved having these thoughts. But, I also fear I am not good enough to pass out tracts and I fear revilings. How do I get passed these concerns?
6. 35:32 Please explain about the five months and how it is determined to be after the rapture.
7. 43:50 The Bible says to compare spiritual things with spiritual things (1 Corinthians 2:12-13). How do I learn to study looking up words in a concordance to determine their meaning?

1. 02:10 Question from EBF Website: According to Matthew 24:36-37, why even try to predict the end of the world?
2. 10:55 Question from EBF Website: What is the trumpet of God? Jesus descends with a shout and the voice of the archangel (or the Chief Messenger) and the trump of God.
3. 13:45 Question from EBF Website: In 2 Peter 3:10, how would the day of the Lord come as a thief in the night when all of the unsaved would have known for the past five months that God is destroying the earth?
4. 20:40 Question from EBF Website: Is there anything wrong with standing on the side of the entrance/exit site of a church parking lot passing out “Does God Love You?” tracts on a Sunday when they are existing the parking lot?
5. 22:30 Numbers 9:9-11 mentions the Passover being observed on the 14th day of the 2nd month for people who were unclean or away on a journey. What is the spiritual meaning of the Passover being observed a month later than the time it was supposed to be observed?

10. 48:36 In Leviticus the sacrifices come in two parts—the innards and all of that is put on the altar and then the skin and the whatever, they are burned without the camp. So, in a sense, is Christ’s atonement in two parts maybe, before the world was made and when He came in A.D. 33 to go to the cross?

1. 00:40 Question from EBF Website: Is it sinful to wish that I never sin and to wish to be perfect as Job was?
2. 07:08 We know that we have about 365.2422 days in a year, so how many days in a year were there in the Old Testament period? If we have a different number of days in a year, does this make a difference with the date that we have arrived at for 2011 being the end of the world?
3. 11:35 John 2:1-11 mentions Jesus’ first miracle at Cana by turning the water into wine. Can you explain a little about this miracle and what the spiritual meaning of it is?
4. 17:43 In Hebrews 7:3 and Hebrews 5:7-10, these verses helped me to better understand that Jesus was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world and that He had to rise from the dead before the foundation of the world.
5. 23:42 In Matthew 27, starting at verse 45, it talks about “from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.” Is there some kind of correlation here to a better understanding of the timing in regards to the timing on May 21st?
6. 30:45 Follow-up: In Matthew 27:53, where it says “after His resurrection,” which resurrection is this speaking of? Is this speaking of His earthly resurrection and ascension into Heaven or the resurrection from before the foundation of the world?
7. 35:10 What is the spiritual significance of the whale in Jonah? Why a whale?
8. 38:04 One of the questions from your study today was about how one works out his/her salvation. Your response was that to work out your salvation, you could read the Bible and beseech God for mercy and it may be that God would save that person. But I thought that we first have to have salvation before we can work it out. Furthermore, Philippians 2:12 says “my beloved” and “beloved” means a true believer.
9. 41:43 Noah was given the 7-day warning on May 14, 4990 B.C. Could God be telling us in 2 Peter 3 that we have 7,000 years from the day Noah was warned? It is interesting that Israel’s re-birth was May 14th. Has there ever been a study on a May 14 Rapture?
10. 44:51 Could you please explain Matthew 21:12 and downwards. Does this have anything to do with the end of the Church Age?
11. 50:16 How do we know for certain that Alexander the Great is the King of Grecia in Daniel 8:21? Alexander the Great’s reign from 336 B.C. to 323 B.C. took place during the silent period when God was not performing miracles or speaking to anyone at all.

1. 01:40 Question from EBF Website: I do not think God can save me. I am too wicked.
2. 10:35 2 Kings 6:24-29 mentions a famine that occurred in Samaria during the reign of Jehoram. Is this famine pointing to the Great Tribulation of our day?
3. 18:45 Regarding Matthew 12:31, if someone once thought Christ was under the power of Satan but now believes that He is not and wants Him as their Saviour, is it possible for them to become saved?
4. 28:33 Follow-up: If I thought Christ cast out devils and healed people by Satan, can I become saved?
5. 31:55 Comment: I was in the “May 21, 2011” room Tuesday night. I am kind of concerned about the fact that it is in the Christianity section because we are dealing with people in the church who are under a delusion. I wonder if it would not be more productive if we were out in a room that was more representative of the world where people are not delusioned. Question: In Revelation 9:16. Do the 200 million of God’s elect represent the totality from time beginning until now or do they represent those in white robes?
6. 39:44 Please comment on 1 Timothy 3:16, especially the word “manifest.”
7. 45:44 If I told my wife that I read “Time Has an End” and “We Are Almost There!” and that I truly believed that it was going to happen and she got furious, do I warn her again, or do I just pray for her?
8. 49:29 Could you please comment on John 7:8-10? How do you see its relation to the end?
9. 53:17 John 2:20 mentions 46 years the temple has been around. 46 years before 30 A.D., when this passage took place, is 17 B.C. Should 17 B.C. be looked upon as an important year in the Biblical timeline of history?
