   It is good to express one's opinion and this is  the proper place to do it
   :-).  I too believe that we are NOW in the days prior to the Rapture.
   Travelers realize a town is near when they are coming tothe country side
   because they see an abundence of signs.  Likewise, we know that the Lord's
   coming is near because there is an appearance of certain signs.

   First, the seven Church epistles (Rev. 2-3 seem to reflect seven periods of
   time between the Lord's first coming and His next coming.  We seem to be
   living in the times described by the last of the seven Churches, the Church
   of Laodicea (Rev. 3:14-22).  If this view  is accurate, it tells us that we 
   are in the last time.

   Next, the Lord indicated that before the end, Isreel would return to the
   land in 'unbelief' and set up a nation.  God told Ezekiel (Ezek. 37:11-14)
   that He would bring Israel back to the land in unbelief (the valley of dry
   bones).  The nation Isreal was established in 1948. but Isreal today does
   not believe in Jesus as their Messiah; they live in 'unbelief' as the Bible
   says.

   Thirdly, we should realize that the end is near as we see the growth of
   internationalism. a one world monetary system, a global communication system
   (the internet?), a one-world economic system, and potentially a one-world
   banking system.  All signs that could not be possible until now.

   Fourth, there is a strong ecumenical spirit in the world today that is
   dominated by tolerance and unity, even though there is a diversity of varied
   religions.  The one-world concept that lays the groundwork for the rule of
   anti-christ.

   Fifth, there are many ecological, atmospheric, and social signs that point
   to the coming of the Lord Jesus. "For nations will rise against nation, and
   kingdom against kingdom.  And there will be famines, pestilences, and
   earthquates in various places" (Matt. 24:7); "many shall run to and fro"
   (Dan. 12;4); "knowledge shall increase" (Dan 12:4); "you will hear of wars
   and rumors of wars" (Matt. 24:6) and many others.

   Yes, the rapture is coming....

Christianity is a personal relationship, not a religion
