Dear Mr. Froese,
Greetings from the city of Nagpur.
I had written you two or three months ago requesting that you add my name to your mailing list for Midnight Call, but I have not received an issue yet. I have a few questions I would appreciate your insight:
1. Was the tsunami a punishment?
2. What will happen to Iraq in the near future?
3. Would Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists who have not known Jesus, receive salvation?
4. Benny Hinn visited India. He is a miracle healer. What are your comments on that?
- John Alexander, INDIA
Answer: Tsunamis, tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes are natural catastrophes that occur all over the world and are neither punishment nor judgment. God has used these catastrophes in the past, however and He uses them today. The prophetic Scripture indicates that these natural disasters are a part of God’s judgment, which will climax
into the one described in Revelation 16:18.
All countries, including Iraq and the United States, belong to the category of which Jesus said: “there shall be wars and rumors of wars.”
Jesus promised to build His Church and He does so in Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist nations. Many are being converted to a living faith in Jesus and souls will continue to be saved until the last of the Gentiles has been saved.
To find out whether Benny Hinn and other self-proclaimed “healers” have ever actually healed anybody, simply ask for names and addresses of those who claim to have been healed. Closer examination will reveal that no one has ever been healed.
After careful investigation, the publication entitled The Skeptical Inquirer revealed that the healer you mentioned in your letter “follows precisely the practice of magicians.”
