Then, the global network and the demmand for people to be chipped (without which they will be unable to buy or sell goods) will take place.

If we were raptured mid or post trib - we would expose the antichrist - there would be hardly any christians left to be raptured....and I think the rapture is THE event that will bring about HUGE global changes that will be accepted.....BECAUSE of this amazing event.Not long to go.....IMO...

YEP.......WHAT SHE SAID.

Does anyone study the Scriptures anymore--really study them? Much of what I read here is "I believe, I believe, I believe" or "I think, I think, I think." Why do you believe what you believe; why do you think what you think? There must be sound biblical support for what we believe and what we think and by that I don't mean disjointed, out-of-context verses grabbed from here and there to build a straw man! What saith the Scriptures? Please!
