In Mat 8:29 the demons asked Jesus if He came to torment them before the time. This tells me they may not know the day or hour that Christ returns but they might know when the tribulation starts. If so, the speed at which evil is unfolding causes me to think they do know and have increased demonic activity to meet the appointed time. Any thoughts?

I have a friend who thinks that he has out-sinned God’s Grace  because he no longer feels or hears the Spirit anymore. He has had a long walk with the Lord. Is there any way to explain what has happened to him?

After seeing a recent posting on Q&A, I read 2 Tim 2 again and it got me thinking. Is Timothy a bond servant of God being a pastor? Is it correct to say not all believers are bond servants of God? Is there a difference between servants and bond servants? Is there a special calling? What happens to servants? Thanks so much. My learning has sped up so much reading the Q&A and your articles!

As soon as the Fig Tree’s twigs start to get tender, the day in Matthew 24:32-51 and Mark 13:28-36 is at the very doors. If the fig Tree is the nation of Israel, how can its twigs just start to get tender at the day of the second coming? The Fig Tree will be decimated in the second half of the tribulation. Closer to the end of the tribulation, in Daniel 12:7 the power of the holy people will be finally broken. How can it’s twigs just start to be getting tender? Is it not a better fit that this time is where the blindness of Israel is going to start to be removed?

If the 6000 year old creation theory is correct when do we begin counting? Do we begin with creation or when Adam left the garden?   Did Adam start counting his age when he was created or rather when he lost immortality.

Occasionally, some need or situation will arise and I’ll feel a real intense need to stop everything and pray. After a few seconds, that sense will vanish. Once when this happened I kept praying, but it felt forced. At this point, the scripture came to mind, “don’t keep babbling like a pagan, the father is not impressed with your countless words”. So I stopped and went back to reading my Bible. Can you help me with this, or share some insight?

When we have company over  I always want to “share the gospel”. How does one go about sharing it without sounding like a sales person, without sounding pushy, or gushy or lovey dovey, and without making them feel guilty? I try and get a “I thank God and believe in Jesus” every chance I get but I feel compelled to want and say more. Is it the flesh “wanting” to do more or is it the Holy Spirit prompting me to say and do more? Typically, when I try to do more, I end up stickin’ the old foot in the mouth.

In the natural order of things, “birth pangs” have a foregone conclusion — progression to true labor, resulting in the birth of a child. Given that the “pangs” appear to be increasing in frequency and intensity worldwide, what event or events, according to Scripture, will signify that the “pangs” are over, and labor has begun in earnest?

I know the penalty of sin is death but wanted to know what is unique about the generation of believers that never die since they are called up to be with Jesus while still alive?  Why does that group of people “get out of” death?

What is a worker of iniquity according to the Lord and how do we avoid being numbered among them? I am a Christian who has put his faith and trust on the Lord for eternal life but Matthew 7 still scares me a bit
