Your premise that anyone is “fairly confident” in the “rapture,” is where you’re tripping up here.
I've yet to see what you're describing.

Welcome to FreeRepublic. You sure look like a kitty pile to me...
IBTZ!
Not every Christian believes in a pre-trib rapture. Plus as a Christian I fret for the friends and loved ones who have not made a decision for Christ who have to deal with the Anti-christ as well.
You’re joking right?
Welcome to FR. You’d need to read scripture to know the signs and order of events. Without that understanding, I can see why you might erroneously come to the conclusion you’ve come to.
Well now, worrying about facing the anti-christ depends on if you’re a pretribber, midtribber or post-tribber.
I’ve not seen that posted here. Why don’t you provide a link or ask that poster directly?
What you have posted is called a “Vanity” post. They are frowned upon at Free Republic. My recommendation to you is to read the board for two weeks to get the feel of it before posting.
Another question...
If rich liberal democrats want higher taxes, why don’t they pay higher rates themselves without a new law forcing them to do it?
oops sorry I hit caps lock...bad fingers.
Obama is going to weaken our defenses, he is going to cripple our economy with his tax and spending plans, and I fear the future under him.
Look at the stock market dropping....businesses know what he is going to do to them....
You must be very excited to be about to experience the Rapture of the ZOT.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzot
I do not believe Obama is the antichrist, but I do believe God has a plan for the world, I do believe there will be a rapture of the Church, but of course no man knows the hour or the day. I said from the start that if Obama won, that i felt he may be part of end time prophecy—but not the anticgrist, however there will be a deciever that comes first to set the way for the antichrist, must admit Obama is a good liar and deceiver. Will be interesting to see if Israel will be protected by Obama. God made a covenant with Israel to always protect her. We have been a great friend to Israel and our Nation has been blessed by God, we will have to see what happens. With that said, the Bible is super prophetic and things have come to pass that fulfils bible prophecy...but there is more to come, is Obama part of it? Re,ains to be seen, and what he does in office will be an indicator. Watch the middle east and what Obama does.
I'm not an Evangelical Christian or a very religious person, but I guess I would ask the question: "If a Muslim terrorist is going to be rewarded with 72 Virgins for blowing himself up and taking a multitude of innocent people with him, what's the issue?
Obama is not the Anti-Christ.
Satan can do better than that.
Welcome to FR.
And by the way, goodbye.

But even scholars argue about the interpretations of prophesies. I don't think they were meant to be understood exactly. Not every interpretation includes a "rapture."
But the theme of the Deceiver who sets himself up as God is one that scholars do not argue about, that I know.
That’s funny (about being the anti-christ).
He’s a socialist who thinks not taking away someone’s money or taking less of their money, is “giving” them money.
I first worried about Obama being a threat to the Illinois Senate and then the Presidency back in the late 90s. It’s not that he’s a person of bad character, but he’s just another politician LAWYER, and the most leftist Democrat.
But I suppose it’s about time all these dumb leftists, who don’t realize just how religious and unscientific they are, get a lesson in economics.
He was just elected, and already there are whispers that expectations need to be tempered. You think? You mean turning every one dollar bill into a one million dollar bill won’t solve world poverty?
Have fun trying to finance the deficit and debt at absurdly artificially low interest rates as hyperinflation comes storming back sometime in the next couple years. The idiots succeeded in convincing the dumb that government manipulation is the “free market”. And Obama is here to save us from the “free market”.
Don't worry - all will be clear soon enough.
CHANGE is coming.
It’s kind of similar to the people who think Barack Obama is going to pay their mortgage for them.
