Perhaps, this is another sign that the Church age has ended and the 70 week of Daniel has already begun.
Honestly, that wouldn't surprise me one bit. Given the fact that in all of human history, only two people have been raptured (and both of them are scheduled to come back and meet their ends in Israel in modern times) I don't think a pre-tribulation rapture is consistent with scripture. It's consistent with the easy-believism of the 20th century, but not with the previous 20 centuries. I think we're going to go smack dab into the tribulation. I already see signs of the great falling away among us - blatantly in some corners, more subtley in others.

Yes, the times are really changing. Pseudo-Ephram a 2-3rd Century Bishop of Alexandria preached the Pre-Trib Rapture. I cheated, because I went to Seminary and learned Greek Hebrew and Early Church History.
I currently hold a pan-Tribulation imagery. Have you heard of it?
