I have not given up total hope for a pre-trib rapture. I think it COULD happen. But, I think the odds are it might NOT as well. I know so many people who are counting on it 100%. This is dangerous, IMO. Could these believers be fooled by some scenarios if a REAL rapture does not take place? I know a pre-trib rapture would certainly cause such disruption that America would fall to a level playing field with all other countries and hence a perfect set-up for the anti-christ to come and offer answers to the chaos. BUT, on-going terrorist attacks with no clear enemy and no one to defeat to make the attacks stop would achieve the same result. How many Americans would willingly shred the Constitution, justify one government and one inclusive religion, register themselves with a mark to keep track of everyone and all possessions, and even bow down if need be in order to end all terrorist activity and guarantee their SAFETY? I think the majority. These are interesting and perhaps terrifying times we live in. Billy Graham said a few years ago that he fully expected to be alive for Jesus' second coming. He is 82 and may just be right. Watch Israel. Watch who takes over for the current Pope when he fails. Watch the personalities who take a spot light in the media who we may not have even heard of before. Pray that God will keep His people full of understanding and able to stand. Pray for safety -- it doesn't hurt to ask. I remain, SOROS forbes.com

Well said. Matthew 5:21-26 Matthew 5 21 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, `Do not murder,and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, `Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, `You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. 23 "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. 25 "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny
