End Times
As I listen more and more to the world events going on I become more and more convinced that we are truly living in the end times leading up to the Rapture of God's church. I realize that it is a sore subject for many and that I will recieve opposition for my views but the facts cannot be denied. I was fearful and unsure of what the bible was actually saying so I started reading the book called "Every Prophecy of the Bible" by John F. Walvoord. He is one of the preeminent Bible prophecy scholars of the world today and his explanations are based soley on the literal not the symbolic words of the bible. Thank God for people who are smart enough to research history and have their facts straight. I wish to share something that convinces me that we are living in the times right before the Rapture. The bible states that there will be 1. a rise in liberalism and rejection of fundamental biblical doctrines. 2. The rise of communism and atheism as major opponents of Christianity. 3. The ecumenical movement promoting a world church organized in 1948. 4. Increased moral chaos resulting from departure from biblical doctrines. 5. The evidence of spiritism, the occult, and Satan worship. I will continue to study and research, but I do believe in my mind and heart that there has been a culmination of events predicted to occur before the Rapture of Christ's church and the end times.

It's definitely one theory, and not necessarily a wrong one. I think there is a lot to the book of revelations, from a prophetic standpoint. Much of it, however, is symbolic. This rapture, as you know... I have never placed much stock in people just popping off into thin air, but then again, that may also be symbolic. It's all subject to interpretation. Whatever you get out of it, if it causes a person to live right, then so be it. What is the worst thing that can happen? That a bunch of people lived their lives virtuously? Sounds like a good thing to me.
I love ya, Maur. Muahh.
The Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17 - which many refer to as "the Rapture"), will occur at the CONCLUSION of the tribulation.
Based on the Scriptures referenced below, I believe that the church, saints of the most High (1 Cor.10:32, Dan.7:25) will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13.
The tribulation will occur between the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17) and the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17).
(Matt.24:9, Dan. 7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6, Dan.12:6-7)
