Hi, all;
 
Don't let go of the rapture hope, but just for a little while.
 
Thank you for your replies and thank you Robin Wester for your encouragement. I'm also at a loss sometimes at the enormity of the task that might lie ahead; one can only feed so many, but what can we do except praying and asking him to guide us. Marilyn Agee, G-d doesn't need our help but he's calling for workers for the Great Harvest. He says workers are few.
 
As much as I enjoy rapture debate (yes, I really enjoy talking about it), I don't think I need to, because time apears to be so short, time will tell it for us.
 
When the time comes, though, you know it's not a time to linger on anything. If the tribulation starts, then it's not pre-trib anymore, so pre-trib rapture will no longer be valid. Then, it will be even dangerous to hold onto it, for you will walk right into the reign of the beast still waiting for the rapture, and the chance of escape might be lost. Even if you escape, you might not be prepared for a long haul until you see the Lord coming.
 
 
I'm sure most of you doves know it already, but just in case, this is when the tribulation starts. I can't tell you for sure who the Antichrist will be, but my best guess as of now, is either a Pope or Prince Charles. Whoever it will be, if anyone confirms a 7 year peace agreement with many nations, then it means the Great Tribulation has started.
 
 
Then, it's time to immediately start preparing for the reign of the Antichrist and persecution. I can't tell you how because I don't even know myself but God will lead his people, that's for sure.
 
 
ANOTHER THING IS,
 
If 'America's Hiroshima' is set to go on Aug 6, which, I gather, is the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, or around that time,
 
it's still pre tribulation which will presumably start on Oct 4.
 
 
That means, even if Pre-trib rapture is true, if you live in America, you might be hit before you get raptured. It will be better to die a painless death hit by a nuclear blast than to go through the tribulation but God says workers are few. Not that we want to but that we must.
 
Tribulation is not God's wraith. God's wraith comes after the tribulation and the rapture, in the form of super natural things like fire stones, scorpions, and lighting, etc. Think of the Tribulation as another commununist persecution of christians. It's only the Anti-Christ this time but not much else is different, except it will be much more dreadful. He brings a strong delusion, though.
 
I can't imagine what it would be like in America after the attack. Chaos, Lawlessness? I don't know. I have no idea on how to even sustain my familly if I get into that kind of situation.
 
 
But stocking basic food and lots of water would be a start. If it doesn't happen, still it wouldn't hurt. It still might not happen, after all ^^. (I live in toronto, but I went out with my familly to buy some emergency food today. I feel kinda silly but I know this is the reality.)
 
 
But most of all, don't let it make you worry and trust in God. If he still has purpose in you in this life, he will protect you and guide you.
