In the '70's, we were told 'nuclear war' at school and 'rapture' at church. No wonder I was depressed! One day, my mom said that even her grandmother had been waiting for the end of the world. What a relief!
Now I think we still have a hundred years or two --- but those Left Behind books sure were fun!

The last thing you want to find your self doing is mocking God's Word and the Bible. These "End Times Beliefs" are based on the Bible. When they are mocked and ridiculed, remember, it is not JUST a certain Church you may know who goes on about it to much, or some individual you know who may "be going on about it" to much but you are mocking the Bible and God. From Genesis to Revelations. And if it is the Holy God Breathed Inspired Word of God, He warns that anyone who takes away or removes one part of it will be cursed and separated from God. You cannot according to the Bible, say "I believe all of it except the book of Revelations". If and when we get to "that" point whether it be a year from now or longer, best to hold our tongues and maybe in private look up to Heaven in prayer and ask God Himself for an answer. The Bible specifically says that when these times do come that peoples heart who have unbelief will be hardened so that they will not even be able to believe. Don't let your hearts become hardened.

What a relief!When God brought down soviet communism, despite the doomsayers' confident assertions of its invincibility, the fortune tellers immediately started scurring around looking for other antichrist candidates to cower before.
What will they do when Islam suffers a global collapse of credibility?
