Consider also, there will be many, many people on the earth that will say they are still Christians; believing that it couldn't have been the Rapture because they're still here. Furthermore, some might point to Israel, that they're still on the earth, and weren't they God's people? He wouldn't have left them would He? So again, they will believe the lie and be all excited that they can finally have peace on earth... and the A/C will come about to bring that peace...
Then, 3.5 years into it, there will be a gathering of new believers... they will be pointing out all the signs, pointing to how the world is believing a lie, that there really is only one God. This is when Satan is kicked out of heaven, allowed to kill the two witnesses, and proclaims that he is god and that these new 'christians' are false... that he is god and that in order to maintain peace these christians will have to be killed.
This is all pure speculation. I don't now how the Rapture will exactly happen, and how it will exactly be during the Tribulation, only that when we are Rapture, it's going to be AWESOME!!

"there will be many, many people on the earth that will say they are still Christians; believing that it couldn't have been the Rapture because they're still here"
So maybe the 'rapture' has happened already and you've been left behind? I mean, there's got to be more than 144,000 "missing persons" in the world, who's to say they're not living in their "sky mansions" right now?
Still waiting for the rapture to happen... just like the generation before you, and the generation before that, etc...
See where I'm going with this?
when we are Rapture, it's going to be AWESOME!!
30 years from now when you're in a nursing home you'll be saying the same thing.
"there will be many, many people on the earth that will say they are still Christians; believing that it couldn't have been the Rapture because they're still here"
I never cease to be amazed by the conceit shown by these people. I read the entire left behind series, I read the bible including revelations, I have been preached at for 44 years now, I probably know more than you do about your freaking rapture myth!
Why is it that you always assume that no one except those in your little R.R. cult knows anything about it? You constantly talk about how we will be fooled and misled, about leaveing religious materials behind to be found by us sinners and similar topics. Listen just because you people have the I.Q. of a box of stale cereal and have extreme difficulty with reading comprehension doesn't mean that we all do.
If millions of people suddenly whooshed off to heaven then I suppose I would be forced to believe in your sadistic bastard of a god. Thankfully for me it isn't ever going to happen because I would really hate having to worship that prick.
Please just get over yourselves, you aren't the special gaurdians of some secret mystical knowledge that no one else knows about! [/RANT]
This is when Satan is kicked out of heaven,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you guys like to claim Satan got kicked out of heaven a long time ago?
@ Crazalus
In revelations 12:7-9 satan/lucifer/the dragon is cast out of heaven and down to earth for good by the archangel Michael.
How 'American' the Rapture will be... It will be 'AWESOME' (sic). Do these idiots not realise how purely American usage (nothing wrong with it normally) in matters of univeral import makes them sound like hillbillies? If one were to expect acceptance of an argument that crosses oceans, then a form of standard English that implies some minimal level of education is what is required.
Yes it will be a matter that causes awe, should it ever happen - a most unlikely event. But it will not be so in the altered, nuanced way that modern America tend to use that word in its vernacular form of English. 'Awesome' has become a debased word from overuse.
I am particularly amused at the thought that Alternating Current will 'come about to bring that peace.' Who would have thought! All these wars must be the result of Direct Current.
Anyway, the convoluted thinking in this contribution lays lie upon lie until the only possible result is cosmic confusion - all of which can be brought to the door of the supposedly inerrant Bible.
"This is all pure speculation"
Yes, it is, AF4Liberty. Yes, it is.
Whoa,yeah! Death and destruction, loads of unsuspecting people being killed, all except for us perfect examples of Christian love here at Rapture Ready; I hope we get to see LOTS of blood! Awesome!
I thought to 'speculate' was to form an opinion based on incomplete evidence. As there's not the least little tiniest speck of evidence that the Rapture is any more than a bizarre deathcult's interpretation of one phrase in the rantings of a lunatic, I'd say AF4Liberty's opinion is something less than 'speculation'.
'Demented rambling' might be a better description of his post.
@ #945185
I hear ya brother!
Xotan, you heretic! Blasphemer! "Alternating Current" will bring peace - what nonsense! You are a stumbling block placed by Satan to oppose the true faith.
The KJV says quite clearly that peace will flow from AIR CONDITIONING.
"Consider also, there will be many, many people on the earth that will say they are still Christians; believing that it couldn't have been the Rapture because they're still here."
I can see AF4Liberty saying exactly that.
Here's how the rapture will happen.
Nothing.
Shocking.
There. I've just freed up your time, so you can discover some more boogers.
Also, I'm starting to think that to have access to the internet, one must either be a student or have a high school diploma (or equivalent). That seems like it would solve the "stupid" problem. Plus, increase the drive to actually get an education.
"... pointing to how the world is believing a lie, that there really is only one God. ...
So how many gods are there, truthfully?
AC - alternating current, air conditioning, armor class, all-clear, aircraft, animal crossing, Aunt Christina? No, it's obviously Anderson Consulting.
Those silly mid-tribs, the only people we hate more than the pre-tribs are those mid-tribs. Splitters!
You fundies are to funny waiting so patiently and happily waiting for yo god to come and end the world .,
"Then, 3.5 years into it, there will be a gathering of new believers... they will be pointing out all the signs, pointing to how the world is believing a lie, that there really is only one God."
Ah, yes. The foundation of all conspiracy theories. You, or your little group, are the only ones out of everyone on the planet that has this super secret special knowledge and someone's out to stop you from spreading it!
It's a form of paranoid delusion in my considered opinion as an armchair psychiatrist.
"I don't now how the Rapture will exactly happen, and how it will exactly be during the Tribulation, only that when we are Rapture, it's going to be AWESOME!!"
Apparently you've never played BioShock *. Trust me. Rapture isn't "awesome". It's a rather deprived place filled with perversion and insanity.
*Anyone who hasn't played this game really should pick up a copy. Used copies are pretty cheap at your local game store.
"This is all pure speculation."
No joke. It's all purely stupid, uninformed, not-reflected-upon, untested, unsupported speculation. IOW, it's crap.
@ Spaceamoeba
I do not use English very much in everyday life, but I am aware that 'awesome' is a pervasive Americanism. Clearly you are watching too much American TV/TV programmes. Beware that you do not get drawn into Rapturism. heheheh!
Now if it were 'formidabale', with the stress on the 'da' syllable, I would have no problem. LOL.
Seriously, if there were such a thing as the Rapture, it would be a true moment of awe, and many of us here would have to eat our hats. However, life and experience indicate that that is a very unlikely eventuality. So I hold to my view that the word, in American parlance, has been debased. But then, language changes.
The smugness and conceit these people exhibit is nauseating. They had a thread once about how they would return to Earth and help Jesus rule. As if a deity needed it. Thomas More died by beheading and made an amusing comment on the scaffold. RR people would be blubbering and pissing their pants. Do they not consider people like Thomas More who actually died for his faith are way ahead of them in the who is going to help Jesus war? These people become more delusional every single day. Even Sky Hamburgers are a message from God. Egos and self-importance keep these guys going.
Those morons think the Council Of Nicea was a gathering of fundamentalist like themselves. They probably don't know the New Testament was cherry picked then.
When the rapture occurs, god's gonna start in the Middle East and work his way west. This is all pure speculation.
And you call us misled?
Seriously, if this "rapture" actually does happen, I'm going to sit down disappointedly and say "Crap, the creator of the Universe really is that psychotic tyrant the fundies believe in. There goes all meaning in life..."
when we are Rapture, it's going to be AWESOME!!
They could not be more fucking creepy, gleefully fantasizing about the destruction of humanity.
Re: Metatron's post
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
