Very true Deb! It is also my position that the rapture will weaken this country enough for the Bear to burn or devour this diseased Eagle. Of course, this is not to say we won't be in for a rough ride beforehand. Christians are not to endure the wrath and Judgement of God, but this does not leave them exempt from things of like manner, as our history clearly shows. But maybe not too. His ways are sometimes hard to understand right at first, but they are always for the perfect good. If times start getting very hard for us as we await our flight, consider all trials as a final growing effort by the Lord prior to His great harvest.
 
Consider a Russian/Arab strike on the US immediately after the rapture. Then consider the rising tides of illegal immigrants pouring across our southern border. As events begin to fall, we can expect a vast invasion from the South, as well as the country of Venezuela joining this great melee. And as mirrored by the chaos which quickly took hold during hurricane Katrina, one can only imagine the chaos and anarchy which will ensue nationally in the US and maybe even the entire western hemisphere.
 
But at least we will be watching from above. Even is Passover passes without deliverance, as it appears now. I had my doubts, and look for His return each and everyday, regardless of suggestive indications.
 
Jim.
