Again, that is one assumption. Another would be that one would have to actually be there before an escape could take place. Or, on another note, what type of escape are we talking about? I think I've always viewed this verse as implying that true escape is to be found and counted as a sheep on the Day of Judgement rather than as a goat. As for the seven years, I see the Bible implying that the first 3.5 years(at least) will be a time of unparellelled prosperity, which will subvert many from faith in Jesus.

"The way people identify themselves shows that 'religion in America is a mile wide and an inch deep,'"

Boy, that sums it up. Christian in America simply means not Jewish, Hindu, etc. If truly 83% of America were Christian as the Bible defines it, would America be headed the direction it is? Interesting.
