A special edition episode of Ask the Pastor -- End Times!
Pastors Matt, Andrew, and Hugo address our congregants' questions:
- When did the war in heaven take place, and why can Satan still go back and forth to heaven?
- What events mark the beginning and the end of the Great Tribulation?
- Can you comment on Revelation 12:4, "His tail swept one-third of the stars" from Heaven? Who is giving birth? Who is the dragon? How do we know this refers to the original fall of Satan? Could this be a future event?
- Revelation 13:3 ESV: "One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast." Is this what happened when Donald Trump got shot in the ear?
- What are the "Seven spirits of God" mentioned in Revelation?
- Any thoughts on why God would allow the enemy to be set free once more?
- What is the difference between the Judgement Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10) and the Great White Throne Judgement (Revelation 20:11-15?).
- If dispensational premillennialism is considered "new theology," what is the traditional orthodox church belief on the end times? Why side with dispensational premillennialism and not church tradition?
- Will we take anything with us to heaven someday?
- What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the end times? How does the Spirit's work change, if at all, during the tribulation and millennial periods?
- Do angels have free will? If not, how did Satan and his followers become evil? Or were they just created that way?
- What are the different views on the resurrection of the dead? Will there be a single resurrection or multiple resurrections at different times?
