SECTION ONE: THE NEPHILIM COVER-UP HERE
EXCERPT | " ... In this chapter I make an effort to anticipate various aspects of a huge and carefully crafted deception program which the Devil has planned for the world, particularly during the final months of human history.
Once again though, the problem is..in trying to communicate many of these things, we're coming up against the net effect of PreTrib Rapturism which creates a strange kind of detachment and withdrawal from realism. PreTrib would respond to the entirety of this chapter's contents with--"Who cares what the Devil has in store for the final days--I'll be up in the 'heavenly places' when all of this is going on."
For example, in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami a few years ago, in which over a quarter million people died...there was a great deal of excited chatter on Christian discussion boards all over the Internet. Some of these folks aren't quite cognizant of the fact that all the various subcultures can now, by means of the Internet, get intimate inside glimpses of each other's internal affairs and discussions...and non-'believers' heard a thousand variations of-- "Oooh, that tsunami must mean the Lord's return is at hand! Praise be! Hallelujah! Oh and...uh...too bad about all the dead people, of course."
I'm asking--what's wrong with this picture? Something has gone waaay wrong with conservative Evangelicalism and its "carried-off-to-heaven-on-flowery-beds-of-ease" doctrines.
I'm sure many would point out there have been Christian organizations that stepped in to help with the Tsunami victims. That's fine...but I'm talking about the weird effect Pretrib has had on the rank and file..a kind of premature withdrawal...which (understandably) comes across as very inappropriate and cynical to non-church-goers. They cannot understand the giddiness and glee with which PreTrib Evangelicals greet these increasingly troubled times.
Even among Evangelicals who claim they are not explicitly PreTrib, I still hear a lot of this:
"Everything I need to know about the Devil and his demons, and about the world around me...I can read about on the pages of the Holy Bible." ( Matt TwoFour. no date. ) ... "
