Thank you so much for your dedication to allowing God to use you to help so many others. This site has been a daily blessing to me for many months, and now to my family because of the insights I have gained from using your site as a study tool. I have searched your site for weeks looking for this , and as so many others already have, I apologize if I am asking an already-answered question.

My question is to resolve a debate between myself and another Bible studier. Could any of us be unknowingly walking around with Nephilim DNA and not know it? I don’t think so, but my friend disagrees…she is actually convinced that physically attractive, tall, well-built, intelligent people could be descendants of Nephilim. She has even suggested that my soon-to-be husband and myself are probably descended from Nephilim! Needless to say, this really freaks me out! I don’t want to worry that I have Nephilim DNA, or that my future husband may (we are both tall and athletically built and he is a handsome and mechanically brilliant man). Please, any insight at all would be tremendously helpful. I love my Jesus with all my heart and can’t bear the thought of being separated from God in eternity due to genetic circumstances beyond my control.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help us learn more about God’s word. Your website has been a blessing to me and helped me to understand many things that before were not clear. I Praise God for you and the marvelous work you are doing.

I have noticed that some Hollywood movies & TV shows being churned out today are about the end times, prophecy, the end of the world, the Antichrist, etc. and all from a secular view point. Comments from friends and acquaintances lead me to believe that this could be the devils way of poking fun at God’s Word and perhaps making the sinners less apt to accept Christ and His Word as truth. It seems the devil has taken the terror of being left behind away and causes sinners to think that only “fanatics” would believe that God would do this to the world today.

Are there any scriptures that tell us that Satan might use this approach to confuse sinners and make “the end of the World” seem like a fable and not a real event? Do you think we can combat such a tactic or are we losing this battle for lost souls today? I know satan is the great deceiver and I fear for the Lost in our World.

I enjoy your site and live in New Zealand. I wonder at the assumption that we will just disappear at the moment of rapture against our free choice to go. Will God ever violate His own principle of free will? I have this persistent and uneasy feeling that yes, there will be a rapture, but in a very short moment of time we, as believers, will have a choice to join Jesus in the clouds.

I think there will be a temptation to phone loved ones, look for Fluffy the cat or lock the door etc. etc. Our own family has an agreement that wherever we are ( work/school ) we just go. No hesitation. I would appreciate your thoughtson this.

I hear a lot these days in the secular news about the probability of Israel preemptively attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities. I also read (almost exclusively) by Christian teachers that Damascus is going to be destroyed, most likely by a nuclear attack. You yourself have stated that you believe it could happen before the rapture. Do you think these two events could somehow be related?

Warnings about Iran’s potential nuclear capabilities are constantly in the news. Damascus, on the other hand, seems to be under the radar. Is there any reason it would be attacked in light of current events? Could an attack by Israel against Iran somehow lead to involvement by Syria? Does the Bible say anything about Iran and Syria in this context?

Thank you for your faithful work at gracethrufaith.com. I have a simple question concerning divorce and re-marriage. My wife and I are ending our 25 year relationship. All of our children are grown and out on their own. There was no un-faithfulness, as far as I know, but we have simply never been compatible in the least and just never seemed to mature together as a couple. Neither one of us wants to continue in the marriage. What are Gods instructions concerning re-marriage under these circumstances?

I thank you for your dedication to the Lord and His word. I hope you don’t mind but I use some of your Q & A’s that address basic issues in my jail ministry. They are very helpful. My question is regarding the idea we will be watching the great tribulation from heaven like we had some grandstand seat to a sporting event. I spent nearly two years in combat and 22 years as a street cop. I’ve seen mans inhumanity toward man. I’ve seen mans horror until I cried out to the Lord to ” please let someone kill me tonight, I don’t want to see any more”. This I did many times.

Thankfully the Lord didn’t answer that prayer. He did however answer my prayer to return to me some of my innocence. I am sickened by the thought of a heavenly view of the great tribulation. I find it hard to believe God’s will is for us to watch such a thing. I have clung to Isaiah 26:20-21 believing in my heart God didn’t want us to see. Tell me sir, have I clung to this in vain.

I get very confused regarding the millennium, heaven, who goes where and what happens after the 1000 years. Let’s just take me for example: As a true believer, I will be raptured shortly. I will go from my kitchen to heaven. Will I stay in heaven for 1000 years? Will I be able to communicate with people living here on this earth during that time? (my family members may get left behind, yet make it through the tribulation as believers and be on earth, while I am in heaven)

Will Jesus be walking among both the people on earth and in heaven? And after the 1000 years, will we then all be together? What happens to the souls of the people who live through the trib, and then die during the 1000 years on earth? Why is this so confusing? Is there a reason that the bible is such a riddle and the answers so obscure?

My son is 19 years old with many ideas, hopes and dreams for his future. I remember how I felt at his age. He wants to experience life as he knows it and serve the Lord here. I told him that the Lord has wonderful work for us to do when we are raptured. What do you think we will be doing after the rapture? What does the Bible say about this? Obviously things on earth will be heating up. Will we be dispatched to serve Him in any way?

I have been thinking about your response regarding the Holy Spirit during the Tribulation and have this question. How will those who are left know, or how will they learn that their salvation will depend on their faithfulness to God during this time.?

It seems to me that those poor souls who are left will be set up for failure as 1. they are mostly ignorant of things spiritual and 2. won’t have the comfort of knowing they are ‘sealed’ by the Holy Spirit when they do believe.

I was raised in the church and taught a “Dispensational and pre-tribulational” view. I still believe it to the depths of my soul and believe Scripture teaches it. However, when I see things written today about what will take place, such as the Rapture, etc, it comes across “cultic.” Suddenly it sounds ridiculous like we’re some sort of “Heavens Gate” cultist’s waiting for the ultimate alien to rescue us. When I was growing up it didn’t come across that way, why now? I don’t like that and I ask the Lord to help me see it the way he does.
