This subject just came up with a very good friend of mine who is JW. They do not believe in a PTR nor do they believe in a literal hell among many other things. I just cannot see how anyone can think that with even a basic understanding of the bible. The bible is as near literal as possible on this subject. To me, this just demonstrates how important it is to know your Bible so that we are not led away by false teachings and so that we can be witness of truth for those who are seeking. Now is the time! If you are waiting to get to know Jesus, I wouldn’t wait any longer!
Dear Pastor Jimmy, I bought your book and watched your series on DayStar.TV. I am so excited. I already bought a few more books to share.
I have a couple of questions if you could please clarify.
1.) Why are the people that are saved during the tribulation not part of the bride of Christ?
Will they be saints but not be part of the bride of Christ that attend the wedding supper of the lamb?
2.) Reading your book, you mention the war of gog and magog twice. I believe you state that there is going to be a war of gog and magog before the tribulation and God will take them out himself (page 43) and this will lead to a 7-year covenant with the AntiChrist, and then you mention the gog and magog war after the 1000 year reign of Christ again (page 54). Can you clarify this? Thanks!
Hey Susan, Good questions! Those saved during the Tribulation are raptured at the end of the Tribulation at the Second Coming (Matthew 24) and they become a part of the Bride of Christ (Revelation 20:4-6). The Gog and Magog war of Ezekiel 38 & 39 is an event that I believe will take place before the Tribulation begins. Some believe it will take place near the end of the Tribulation. Time will tell. At the end of the thousand year rule of Christ, Satan is loosed and he leads the unsaved world in rebellion against God. Gog and Magog are used as an idiom in Revelation 20:8 referring to the nations of the world. That is a different event from the war described in Ezekiel 38 & 39.
Would you write an article about the jewish feasts of the bible and how they relate to the prophetic events, and can you specifically address the next awaited prophetic feast: the Day of Trumpets in the fall connected to the rapture of the Church pre-trib or to Jesus 2nd coming when He lands on the mount of Olives?
It seems that you suggest that the Day of Trumpets is connected to the rapture before the tribulation and there are others who say the Feast of Trumpets is when Jesus returns to the earth, his 2nd coming when He kills the Antichrist.
Dear Pastor Jimmy, thank you so much for your words. For your book which I have re read many times now! Growing up in a Christian home with my Dad who studied eschatology, feel like I am sitting listening to my Dad talk with me. All that said I missed many key pieces of scripture and am thankful to of found you through my sister and we are all listening to you and have your book! My question: I have 2 step kids who are not believers. 16 and 19. Precious kids. Though they know we are, how do I bring up these heavy topics to them in an loving way? I have friends who say they are believers are not wanting to listen to your messages I have forwarded? It is sad.

Have you written in the battle of Armageddon?
Have you done or considered doing a dvd or book that speaks to folks a day or two after the Rapture?
