According to the book of Revelations one of the signs is peace in the middle east. The man who brings peace to the middle east is the Anti-Christ.
I don't think about it constantly, but I am a little nervous right now.

yes i do believe in the rapture, and the bible tells us we do not know when it is going to take place, how every there are things about the rapture in the bible that people think tell that the rapture will happen before the tribulation begins, i just think we should be ready at all time for it to happen because there is not anyone that really knows

I'm rather sure that the rapture is a con.
The world was supposed to end in 1260. It was supposed to end during the World War I generation (according to Jehovah's Witneses). The planets lined up in 1978 without ending the world. Jesus Christ was supposed to show up on the first day of the new milleneum and he ignored the invitation.
On and on and on with the phony Armageddons. I've figured out that you damn your OWN soul wishing to be whisked away to a skybox with Jesus to watch everyone else fry --it's froward -- it's a vainglorious desire that is profane (and such profanity is unforgivable for Christians, as the New Testament says).
So that's the secret. There is no rapture, it's a trap for the superstitious -- those who WANT it and WAIT for it are damned without it ever actually taking place as described in the psychotic Revelations of St. John the "Devine."

I do. The general idea is Post trib, right before the wars and things start. Some believe just before the Anti-Christ comes to power, and some believe Post-trib, that we will have to hold onto our faith until the very end.
I think Pre-Tribulation, but noone knows for sure, the Bible speaks of rapture, but does not tell us when it will happen. The theories on that are all just guesses.

I do believe in the rapture (pre-trib). I personally think it is going to happen soon. However, the Bible says no one knows the time not even the Son, only the Father knows. We just don't know when it is going to happen. It will come like" a thief in the night". The Bible also teaches thatwe should be ready at all times for it to happen.

No, I don't believe in the rapture but I do believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust. This is what 1 Cor 15 is referring to...the resurrection out of the old economy and into the new. This already occurred.

Yes I believe in it, but I do not think it will happen soon.
On a side note I beleive in Pre-Tribulation when it comes to the Rapture.

Yes, I believe in it. I think we are in the "End Times" right now. As to when, nobody knows but, Jesus said there are signs. Look what's happening in Isreal now...that is the first sign. I will say in the next 6 years.

Only God the Father knows. Why should I even speculate? We'll know when it happens.
