That is a pretty good article. Most celebrity TV preachers promote this "rapture" heresy wherein Christians will be whisked away when it becomes nasty. It's attractive to the natural man---- indeed who wouldn't prefer to avoid persecution and physical death? And if it's once saved always saved you wont even face judgement. But such views are outside Historic Christianity. For a brief Orthodox Christian perspective on the rapture and end times paste this into your browser-- http://www.orthodoxonline.com/leftbehind.htm

Regardless of human interpretation; traditions; doctrines of men or even of demons . . .
BEING CAUGHT AWAY Scriptures WILL BE LITERALLY FULFILLED.
I don't think anyone has it all figured out. I don't think It's God's time for us to have it all figured out. God is a great general and doesn't always display His secrets for the enemy to know.
