I believe in a pre-tribulation rapture after which (quite possibly before) the seculars will side with the Islamists and summarily be co-destroyed after 3 1/2 years

And I believe in a reigning Savior who will continue subduing His enemies one by one, until only death remains standing. Psalm 110 is the most frequently cited OT scripture in the NT. Your eschatology breeds fatalistic resignation to the ascendency of evil. Mine empowers me to effectually resist evil.

That's all right, I used to be pre-millenial too. The traffic is going one way, however. Faithful and thoughtful pre-mils eventually become post-mils. It doesn't work the other way.

I'll try and remain Faithful and Thoughtful and then let the Lord lead me the rest of the way. Only he knows where that is. (I do like your tag-line, wonderful)
