While the second coming has been traditional Christian doctrine for almost 2,000 years, dispensationalism was only invented or discovered (depending on one's view) in the 19th Century. Most Christians through the ages believed that the Beast of Revelation was Nero. LaHaye and others claim to be literalists but they stretch the Bible to fit their ideas.
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Revelation 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
I thought it might have been Rosie O’Donnell..
BTTT!
You’ve probably seen it, but on the off chance you haven’t, I’m pinging you to the Cthulhu graphic in the replied-to post.
Better remove it before the democrats register it to vote.
“Cthulu?”
Hello, Roto-Rooter? There seems to be an Old One blocking my drain...

Hmmm... I missed “The Night the Sewer Blocked Up.” Let me know when it starts chasing people.

Ever hear of anyone getting constipation from eating too much cheese? Now you know what that colon looks like.
Re-watching that sketch on You-Tube, i just caught that the name of the first victim was Harold Potter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1sYgknWGSA&feature=related
Obviously, the most famous Brit ever to go by that name.
This could only happen on FR!
Incidentally; I accidentally left the “f” out of “shifted.” I wonder where THAT would have taken the thread!
And, unlike Dan Rather, he actually was a Marine.
Sounds like someone from the local eatery doesn’t have a grease interseptor or the drainage pipe from the kitchen is illigally tied into the sewer line.
"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread!

Michael Moore refuses to clean up after himself, film at eleven!
I heard this on Red Eye last night.
Well, Lewiston is far south of me, thank God. This is the city that Gov Baldacci picked to bring in over 1,200 Somali's to live. So, it's any body's guess WHAT the hell is going down the sewer!!!!
