Q. I have a question is about the angels held in chains (the watchers). Did these angels fall with the original group of angels that followed Satan or did they fall at a later time? Thanks for your response.

Q. I am saved and attend a great church, but lately I have been battling with fear. I search in the word of God for verses on fear and I read that we should not be afraid but somehow I continue to do so. I have tried to not fear some things and I find myself in the same place. I know the word of God, I know that he is faithful. So why am I afraid, why is the fear still there?  I’m tired of fearing these things, I want to let them go.

What is it that I’m doing wrong. Please, it drives me crazy when I know that God is forever merciful and loving. Why? I don’t understand why I feel this way. I have made him my savior and I’m his child. I’m tired. I want to let go. I have prayed about it. I really have. I have cried myself to sleep sometimes because I don’t want to be afraid. If God offers peace what is wrong with me? Help me please.

Q.  Now that it seems like more American Christians are facing hardship and persecution, and that the American economy might collapse, everyone is more open to the idea that the end is near.  Our brothers and sisters the world over have been suffering for years.  Christians are being martyred all over the world, why is is that just because America might suffer the wrath of God for our sins are we becoming more fearful that we really are approaching the last of the last days?

Q.  Recently I stumbled upon John 2:18-19 and need some clarification. Was John prophesying to a future generation instead of his own? Is it possible that The Lord spoke to the end times generation through him in this verse, while John himself was unaware of this and believed himself to be upon the last hour?

Q.  Can you give us your perspective on 1 John 2:3-6 regarding its use as a test for Christians to see if we are truly saved?  I’ve heard teachers say it means if you aren’t obeying God, you aren’t truly saved, because if you did have Jesus in your heart, you would desire the things of Christ.

Q.  May I ask you to help me understand something?  I follow several prayer groups praying for our nation.  They all include the phrase, “Repent on behalf of our nation.”  May I ask how we repent on behalf of another or for that matter a nation?  I do pray that the Holy Spirit will do His work and convict the citizens of this nation of our sins.  But, apart from that, I don’t understand how we can repent for our nation.  Seems to me that is an individual responsibility.

Q.  Will raptured Saints rule and reign with Jesus “physically” on earth during the millennium?  Revelation and Zachariah both describe Jesus’ 2nd coming when He comes with His army “clothed in fine linen, white and clean”, which are the clothes given to Jesus’ bride in Revelation 19.  To me this means that we are “with” Jesus when He comes back to reign on earth.

Q.  I just had a question come to mind after you said ” Genesis 6:1-7 tells us that after sin entered the creation, certain fallen angels mated with human women to produce a hybrid race called the Nephilim,”.  Would you know why fallen angels no longer mate with human women?
