I know Ann Coulter. Met her when I was 16 in 2002. She had drinks and such with my Father and some other mucky mucks at that Irish bar just south east of the Capitol. I told her I was going to go to law school and wanted to grow up to be a bomb throwing radical just like her.
Of course, then, as now, she does NOT Speak of Christ and as I am far more mature, and have seen her behaviors, she is MUCH more Libertarian than Christian, if that at all in any practice.
Directly, yeah, if the Rapture happens right now, she’s got her ticket punched, but is she making many crowns of glory? Not as much, and this HOMO-CON is exactly that:
A CON by the Homos.
She and many have been had. They are marks. Taken for a ride.
Quick and in one day? You would not be claiming we, America is the spiritual Babylon spoken of in Revelation?
If so I’d have to disagree.
If you mean we are “those who dwell in safety in the coastal lands, Ezekiel 38-9. Yeah. OK, I could see THAT event in one day, but I see a much slower steady, every dreary decline preceding that event.
The 1000 years, yeah, OK, I agree, I plan to be here doing the ruling with and for Christ. But, the 7 before it, I intend to have Box Seats in heaven and NOT be here.
Wow.. thanks for the insight a good friend of mine and fellow Freeper also knows her well. The only time that I heard something from her (about Christ) was when she stuck up for Britt Hume and she was dead on.

No.. not at all... When I stated that I thought that I might be misunderstood about that since many do hold that position.. ah..no
If you mean we are those who dwell in safety in the coastal lands, Ezekiel 38-9. Yeah. OK, I could see THAT event in one day, but I see a much slower steady, every dreary decline preceding that event.
I did not mean that either.. Sorry for any confusion Since Ez. 38 & 39 will take place during the tribulation we will be already removed via the Rapture.
About America I personally believe that when the rapture takes place that will be the doom for these United States. We posted on that topic if you like to check it out..

Glad to see that we hold the same dispensational positions not too many do.
All of Gods highest and best for you .
Oh. OK.
Yeah, I get and I respect those who hold that EZK 38-9 are IN the Tribulation, so long as they ALSO hold a Pre trib Rapture. Which it seems you do. I would tend to see it either way.
Here is how: The rapture is Imminent. So, the events in EZK could be Before OR After, since they are NOT automatically dependent upon them.
Also, America is NOT in Prophesy, unless it IS there in EZK.
So, I surely do not hold that ANY undone event must occur before the Rapture, but that some sure MAY.
I don’t think we will get out of jail so easily.
All this material wealth but spiritual death?
But, I do agree, that whatever state the USA is in, when all the Believers vanish? It will really go down hill from there.
But, I don’t think that either will be in 1 day.
Because I think the Devil is going to explain it away with the biggest lie of them all.
He is just going to TELL those left behind the truth.
Jesus took the believers. You, left behind are sinners.
Then he will say, “I AM JESUS” now worship me and YOU TOO can go to heaven.
THAT is why things won’t go downhill right away, after the Rapture.
He will play NICE for 3.5 years.
Hows that?
That’s pretty good...
The first half of the tribulation will be filled with global war. (4 Horseman Rev. 6) and the second woe -Quad Demonic War of Rev 9:12-21) and global supernatural and natural disasters and by the mid tribulation more than half of the world’s population will be removed and decimated via war, pestilence and famine... (the “unholy trinity . as it were.
That is why also I believe America will not be anything but a third world nation chaotic, full of anarchy, divided, violent and tribal. 3 ½ years of ravishing circumstances will do its work and make savage a some what civilized people much like.. Mad Max). The center stage will be Europe and the Middle East (Israel)
The one day prediction of mine is just a thought of what I believe will happen. I personally believe it will be very fast since even now the Left is fighting tooth and nail to introduce and make legal all forms of decadence and social agenda policies. The removal of the restraining element here in America will then allow it all to go very fast.
Lucifer will not reveal himself to the world until the resuscitation of the Anti Christ in Rev 13. One of the first thing he will do it to establish global worship of himself and Lucifer.
Since Devil... means slanderer (blasphemer) he will slander those who are gone and motivate them that they can establish some kind of utopia in the midst of all the global carnage and catastrophe etc.. (2 Thess. 2:3-12., Rev. 13). They will actually believe that they can win and fulfill their godless agenda ..even in the midst of global upheaval and devastation. Remember it says he DECIEVES the whole world..
Actually the FIRST HALF of the tribulation will be awesomely horrific and devastating it is under THESE circumstances that THIS MAN will fill the vacuum and rise to power...(Rev 13) He pretty much is a dynamic leader in the first half.. but nothing like global war and carnage and devastation for humanity to give the Devil ALL of their rights and establish one to the point of global fascist dictator. Lucifer and the anti Christ will exploit the greatest crisis ever and establish the Abomination of Desolation and the Mark of the Beast!
I can see it both ways. Your’s is the old school version. I think the Devil is a little smarter than that and I think MAN is too. In their selfish centered ways.
That is, Man will not THINK to worship one when death and wars are about.
Also, I distinguish between the tribulation and the “great tribulation” (Revelation 7:14; Matt. 24:21) with the latter beginning midway the seven year period when the Antichrist’s breaks the peace treaty with Israel (Daniel 9:27)
Then, the 3 1/2 years of peace (a false peace) end, and war, death and destruction begin.
“He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” (Dan. 9:27)
You can’t take it all from Revelation without Daniel.
Every word of scripture in the NEW is supported BY the Old.
Every book has a counterpart book. Or Books.
Every chapter, chapters!
When Paul wrote most of the letters, when John wrote his, they were REFERRING to the Old scriptures to which everyone KNEW.
So how does the Devil Explain the rapture? How does he BRING and Promise Peace?
He stops acting like the Devil and FINALLY “gets to BE God”.
This is what he wanted. So he will just NOT tempt man and not allow his minions to tempt them.
He will pose AS Christ. A real “anti-Christ”.
Now, I think it WILL BE BAD right before.
That is why I lean towards the Ezekiel 38-39 to happen BEFORE the rapture, not as a “sign” or “requirement” but as a practical course of events.
Something BAD needs to be the trigger for everyone to BELIEVE him.
What better than Preventing WWIII?
See, liberals, even Muslims, WANT to believe in Good.
They really, truly, BELIEVE that they ARE doing GOOD.
We know truth, and their means betray them, but they will be ready and willing to believe a BIG Lie.
