Right on!! But you left out the part where Margaret MacDonald was a catholic (or I didn't see it) thus Rapture (which is latin) and you will find that word in a catholic dictionary. If Christians can not identify the Whore then yes...if it were possible even the very elect of God would be deceived. They are blinded and choose to be that way.
People misunderstand the scripture where Christ said many will come saying I am the Christ.....(He didn't mean imposters)...he meant YES they would say He was the Christ but in their ways deny HIM. They would proclaim Him for every reason but the right reason, and in that spirit they become against Christ OR the Spirit of the Anti-Christ.
Mess with people's doctrines of devils and watch them turn on you like a pack of wolves, JUST as our Lord said they would.

The rapture is not part of Catholic dogma and indeed is a heresy to Catholics.

The problem with the rapture cult is that it has so many subsets to it as it is interpreted by the leading theorists of this movement. For example, there is a danger that it may alter American foriegn policy in such a way as to cause harm. For the longest time Russia or China or both were considered part of the army of gog/magog. So whatever Russia does or even China does that may benefit America and thus the current situation may be rebuffed by these people through influence on politicians. That does not mean Russia or China are "good" nations but it is another to think all they are doing on the world stage is leading to a fianl battle and they are always up to no good.
