He has to be here on Earth...after the rapture....and He has to issue the proclamation that every human will where his mark.

What rubbish you speak.

Rapture, Mark of the Beast, Armageddon, Proclamations...

I suggest you fill your mind with some healthy things. Go and look at the stars one night soon. Go and walk in a forest at dawn. Dive into a cool sea one hot day. Pretend you are a child again and that everything is wonderful and awe inspiring. Buy a pair of cheap red-tinted sunglasses from $2 Shop and walk down the street and wait for some cheeky kid to say to you...

"I bet you see the world through rose-coloured glasses."

Life is not that bad you know. Having gratitude for one's existence is the foundation of faith. Getting lost in weird Christian eschatology is a health hazard. Beware of self-fulfilling prophecies. What we can imagine to happen can actually happen. We are both the puppets and puppeteers of the universe.

Prayer, vigilance and right action will see us all through.

A wise man once said...

"It doesn't matter what you think, we will all know the truth and what is correct in the end."

The words "where" and "wear" are homophones. They sound the same, but are spelled differently, and mean different things. Confusing your homophones, like indulging in the soul-sapping drug of apocalyptic hysteria, dramatically reduces your credibility. Christianity is an erudite and literate faith with broad appeal to elect folks of all social classes. However, the "gospel" of fatalistic defeatism reduces the visibility of the real gospel.
