I noticed a trend with some "news" reporters that they do not believe in a rapture but they are born again.   They view themselves as somewhat of a resistance and bringing us news updates what the enemy is doing.    However, with that said, I do not think they totally understand that the antichrist is going to be 1,000,000 times worse than Hitler.   With Hitler, we were only talking about a small part of the world and he was possessed with demons.    But the antichrist will have absolute power in every single corner of the Earth over all people, and his power will be that so enormous no one will be able to fight at all against him.   Believe me, there will be no resistance unless you are one of the 144,000 or make it into Petra.   But a chance of that even happening to a person is like winning the lottery.   One should expect to lose everything about 6 months after the rapture, be thrown out into the streets as a homeless person and then be rounded up and detained.   After the detention of a person and being COMPLETELY humiliated by being paraded around without clothing.....and even in the 1990's my friend was arrested and detained and she called me and told me that she was rounded up with a group of women and they gave them a group shower by HOSING them down with very cold water without soap.  

Now, let me ask why the Lord would allow most of the church to only go through hardship and die like normal people, with a handful of people being persecuted to wait until the very last minute to torture His bride?   

I believe in a pre-tribulation rapture....I am mentally prepared for a mid-tribulation rapture and I am always ready to be beheaded for the sake of the cross.

But let me ask them this.   Why would Jesus Christ save me from anorexia, bulimia, alcohol, cigarettes, a schizophrenic biological father who wanted to sleep with me, dying last year from an infection and coming back into my body, a gun being put up to my head in my teens, and being saved from the occult and homosexuality?    Why would Jesus give me dreams and visions as a little girl before my life went into chaos of the rapture and THIS HOUSE that I am living in now if it were not so?    Why would my family from the 1800's pass this down prophecies of the rapture in our family?  

I think those people who don't want to believe, well I don't know really what happens to them.   But could it be that those people who are having dreams that there is no rapture, that maybe there is no rapture for them?   Is it that Paralambano, that there are those chosen?   And that those who are not are Sozo, that will go through the tribulation?   Or are there those people who know there is a rapture asking the Lord to stay behind to care for His flock?  

I am not disregarding the words of the things these men are saying because they are being used for a purpose.   I think however people like this may want to stay behind to care for the Lord's flock during the worst period in history to attain more riches and rewards.   I am not going to argue with them over their belief.   My aunt's ex husband once told me that if the Lord asked him to stay behind in the tribulation, that he would honor the Lord and care for the people with great honor.    Some men have it in them to be warriors, so I cannot argue with them.  

I just hope they know what they are getting into.   And I hope that they realize what it will be like.   Read what Hitler did, Mao Tse Tung, Gingus Khan, Stalin, etc.   Put them all together in one man ruling the whole world with no where to hide due to advanced alien technology.   Your skin cells that fall off will be traceable, your eye can be scanned from distances, your skeletal outline, your hair, anything about you is traceable from distances in the tribulation and even through walls.   I find not wanting the rapture to be suicide.
