Point is, that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of Armageddon, on the part of liberals and others, who accuse Evangelicals of wishing for Armageddon (as in Shi'ites waiting for the return of the Mahdi).
Most Evangelical Christians believe they will have been raptured and in Heaven by the time of the Battle.
Actually, there is such misinformation and erroneous teaching that some churches actually advise pastors to NOT teach about it. (Assembly of God, for one.)
Most evangelicals believe in the pre-trib rapture?

This is what I had been taught. But when in history has God ever removed his people from trials and tribulation? Christians were impaled and burned as torches to light a main Roman road. Nearly all of the Disciples were martyred.
Christ himself faced not only crucifixion, the most gruesome death devised, but seperation from God the moment mans sins were placed upon him.
If Christ and the others weren't spared, why should we?
