"NO, Mom... it won't. It's actually going to happen a little over three and a half years past 2010 by my current calculations of the chain of events in the Middle East and Europe... (of course I allow for that time frame to be wrong, but you get the drift). Three and a half years where people that are being taught by people like you are going to panic and wonder what in the world is going on!"
And what's funny is the people we know who are so certain that the rapture could happen at any second have no idea what is happening right under their noses over there until we enlighten them. Their eyes widen and then they grab a little tighter to their precious pre-trib rapture doctrine. I know, I know... we were once in their shoes and it was only through the grace and teaching of the Holy Spirit that we know what we know now, right? And that doesn't mean that we know everything! No one has achieved all knowledge of correct interpretation of Scripture... but still... it gets frustrating. Especially around Christmas when you'd just like to have something in common with your family and it seems that the whole Rapture thing is one more gorilla in the room on top of 100 others!

I'm so glad I have you guys....
