No offense intended but Christians are going to have start looking rationally at their beliefs. People have been saying for the past 2000 years that Christ's return was imminent. It ain't gonna happen folks, at least not in the way we expect. There is much about Jesus and early Christianity that has been left out of the bible. Many of these writings have become available in the last 50 years. In any case, is waiting around for the rapture really the essence of Christianity? What about developing a relationship with God right now through prayer and service. Why wait for something that may not happen in your lifetime or ever?

I think you are ill-informed. Perhaps you haven't studied the facts of the topic very thoroughly.

The Scriptural and other than Scriptural evidence for our position on such is quite extensive and of high quality.

A lot of the 'other docs' about Christ from the last 50 years are not very reputable at all.

There are more than many dozens (some would count 100's) of Biblical prophecies indicating that these are the end times. Certainly the prophetic clock has been ticking since ISRAEL BECAME A NATION AGAIN IN A DAY in 1948.

The predicted world government to arise after that is at the door. If you didn't think of that when SKERRY said he'd put our military under UN control, then I think you are asleep or ill/uninformed.

The 'mark' without which it will be impossible to buy or sell as the Bible predicts--is already injected in Mexico's leaders and a number of people in this country--reportedly including Bill Gates' kids.

None of these things have been true until our era. Historically, there may have been 3-4 things SORT OF TOWARD the direction of this or that Biblical prophecy. NOW, THERE ARE 100'S OF THINGS--1000'S OF INDIVIDUAL DATA POINTS MARKING THE INEXORABLE MARCH toward the conclusion the Bible outlines for these end times.

You can ignore the evidence if you wish. The events will still take place just as the Bible indicates they will.

Certainly we are still called by The Bible to occupy until Christ returns. And that includes the good things you mentioned. BUT WE ARE ALSO CALLED TO WATCH, BE READY, BE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND TO LOOK FOR HIS APPEARING.

Certainly I do.
