It seems you have some knowledge of eschatology. Just wanted to say in agreement with you that true eschatology is not about future doom and gloom and there is no such thing as the end of this world in which we live. The Antichrist, and all other endtime prophecies were fulfilled long ago. You sound at least sensible enough to take a look and see that what Christ and the apostles promised was an imminent return in their own generation, (Mattthew 24:34, Jas. 5:7, 
. Understanding that would eliminate the hyper endtime fanaticism and fear associated with an event that will not happen. The only Armageddons and tribulations we will face are those made by man and have nothing to do with God.
You got it all terribly wrong.If u have ever read the Bible , the antichrist will rise from the revived roman empire , i.e., the european union and will not be revealed until the 7 year covenant in the middle east and until the rapture of the church.And you are just revolving around america which has no role to plat in the last days.Now don't say that their is nothing called the rapture of the church or it will further add to your all wrong blog.
God bless.
To William:
Thanks for the note and welcome to my blog! Regular readers know that I was raised in the whole born-again apocalypse cult and long ago rejected all of it, including the notion of a literal flesh-and-blood Jesus or a resurrection. I do, however, think that the teachings ascribed to the mythical christ figure are generally good stuff. Now if only all the so-called Christians would follow them...
To Rajat:
Um, yeah. Whatever. Keep taking those meds, my friend.

Rajat, I have a B.A. in Bible Studies and M of Th. However, that alone doesn't prove anything. The problem with your view of eschatology is that you have to regurgitate all the vomit from the first century to make any of it come true. You need a new Rome, a new red heifer, a new levitical priesthood, a new temple in Jerusalem, etc. and all these manufactured endtimes of late, none of which have come true, yet you still believe them. FYI, there is no rapture taught in scripture. Here's one text you can read from Matthew 13:28-30. When the servants asked to "gather up" the tares (wicked) growing with the wheat, (Christians) they were told "no," so that there would be no separation or interruption (Rapture) prior to the harvest. When the harvest did come at the end of that age, (13:39,40), the correct order was to "first" gather the tares (not leave them behind) and bind them...and afterwards gather the wheat. (Its a figurative description of what happened when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70, the real Biblical Armageddon) The "rapture" doctrine has it all backwards, that's why it needs all ancient history to re-happen to give it any semblance of a context of reality.
*Sigh*. Because of this post and the one before it, I am truly blog-crushed out on you. *Sigh...*
Aw shucks April. Yer shweet.
