The Amos verse sounds more like AD 70.

Remember - Noah wasn't taken, the wicked were taken.

(PS - I don't believe at all in end time rapture doctrine).

A friend here shared this link with me (talking about the "escapist mentality,") it's worth passing on:
PART I

Sparrow,

This point makes me think we all need to understand what the medicine is and what it does. Sometimes we lose sight of how great a freedom we have access to. It'd like we hold to the medicine but don't benefit from it's full effect because we don't fully understand/accept it.

I don't think most of them "feel" that way, it's more about them hoping to leave this earth as soon as possible because they have only pretended to find Gods joy on earth.

I feel sorry for them because religion has led them astray and blinded them from that joy in this life through fear.
