Hello liafail,
And welcome to the forum. They are manufacturing these chips right here in my home state (Florida). I'm just glad that I won't be here to see it all happen. See you around.
I wouldn't put so much faith into a pre-trib rapture so as to be let down if it doesn't happen. I've studied this extensively, and can assure you that when you take the pre-trib evidence versus pre-wrath evidence...... pre-wrath wins. That is the way a person must look at it if to make an accurate decision. Now I don't like to argue the point with anyone set in their ways because I see the inconstructiveness of the situation. However, I will say that looking to Jesus for our eternal salvation, and being ready for the 'flight' is something we can look forward to regardless of when.
