Yes, Let us also not forget. The end of mans Godless reign on earth, coincides with the beginning of Christ's, thousand year reign of peace.
Christ is known as the water giver! "The Water of Life". (Aquarius) So we can focus on the good news, and not the bad.

The problem is, once it starts unfolding you are to late. You've chosen your side.

That's the main point of religion. Once it's proven, there is no need for 'faith'. Faith is what allows you to ascend. Believing with out knowing is the true price to be paid, it is a trust issue. Once the viel is pulled away and all is exposed, where is the 'faith'? Accepting the seen is a worthless gesture, not one worthy of higher powers.

It's like you parents saying "Do I have to spank you for you to believe I will?" If you have faith they will spank you, you act right. If you don't, they spank you... and then you believe. But what good does believing do you now, you've already been spanked.

Faith in the obvious, faith in things you can see, smell, touch, taste and hear... that is not faith but BELIEF. You can only have faith in things you can not measure, can not be sure of. You can BELIEVE in things of faith, like you can BELIEVE in all things (the sun will rise tomorrow).

So once the Rapture starts, it's a bit to late to start having Faith. Cry out "I believe" all you want, all you do is show your greed again. Now, faced with the ultimate facts, you will bow down to the Lord... why was he not worthy of such before? Because you fealt there was nothing to fear. Now faced with certain damnation, you become a fair weather worshipper.

The whole point is to have the Faith before being shown.

Be careful of your duty to God and mock not His revelations.

13:32 And verily messengers (of Allah) were mocked before thee, but long I bore with those who disbelieved. At length I seized them, and how (awful) was My punishment! -

15:11 And never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him.

16:34 So that the evil of what they did smote them, and that which they used to mock surrounded them.

21:41 Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.

31:6 And of mankind is he who payeth for mere pastime of discourse, that he may mislead from Allah's way without knowledge, and maketh it the butt of mockery. For such there is a shameful doom.

2:7 Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.

83:29 Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,

83:34 This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers.

Jesus said, "blessed is he who has seen and believed, more blessed is he who has not seen and believed".
I believe people can be converted, right up untill the "Wrath" of God begins. When God has shown that all the remaining, unconverted have shown themselves to be blatant, knowing, rejectors; of His rule. Because they want to follow Satan and his angels.

This is but a warning...

51:55 And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

10:101 Say: Behold what is in the heavens and the earth! But revelations and warnings avail not folk who will not believe.

39:71 And those who disbelieve are driven unto hell in troops till, when they reach it and the gates thereof are opened, and the warders thereof say unto them: Came there not unto you messenger's of your own, reciting unto you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this your Day? they say Yea, verily. But the word of doom for disbelievers is fulfilled.

47:18 Await they aught save the Hour, that it should come upon them unawares? And the beginnings thereof have already come. But how, when it hath come upon them, can they take their warning?

54:16 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!

54:36 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings.

7:34 And every nation hath its term, and when its term cometh, they cannot put it off an hour nor yet advance (it).

I do believe that the Bible is not the literal "word of God" but, as are all ancient religious texts, SYMBOLIC documents that were intended to provide a moral guideline for the masses. Encoded within those documents are some truths and predictions about future events, but to take any of them literally is to blindly submit yourself to a control mechanism. I am absolutely against the New World Order and I am a seeker of knowledge and truth, spiritual and otherwise, but I cannot allow myself to submit a belief system just because "the Bible says so." That just goes against everything that truth really is.

Consider these points...

First of all, the Bible and the Judeo-Christian religions themselves, if you study the stories, symbolism, characters, moral lessons, etc., are essentially religions for the masses that are based upon a hodgepodge of bits and pieces from many various pre-existing pagan, occult, and ancient religious practices. The "Christ" figure is not unique to Christianity at all. The only religion that has existed since the beginning of human civilization, and is the basis of all religions since, is the occult. The term "occult," by the way is NOT to be equated with Satan. It simply means "hidden." And occult knowledge can be either used for good or evil...sort of like nuclear energy (you can either power a city or completely destroy one, it depends on your inclinations). More often, it seems to be used for evil, however, so this explains why it is often associated with "Satan."

Second...The Judeo-Christian religions are based upon a primitive (ancient), outdated world view. If the ancient peoples who created these religions had such a limited understanding of their own physical world, then as such their understanding of what "God" is and could be is also very limited by that understanding. Logic tells us that as we come to evolve and understand our world more, our concept of God must also evolve as well (eventually leading to a merging of science and spirituality, which I believe is not far away if we don't destroy ourselves first). So clinging to 2000-year-old dogma as absolute truth can only lead to problems, as it feeds a "Holier Than Thou" attitude and results in blind submission to a perceived authority that is based on a very primitive understanding of the world. This is why hardcore Christians often use circular reasoning to defend their arguments, which, inescapably, always comes back to "because the Bible says so."

I believe there is absolutely a divine presence in the universe that is positive in nature. I also believe that all life is connected to this force and is an extension of it. Perhaps there was once a time where there was only good in the universe, but evil was almost born out of necessity because without evil, how can we learn the value of good? How can we experience what love and light really are unless we are forced to learn to triumph over fear and darkness?

This comes back to my argument that Christianity CAN BE dangerous (that is not to say that it always is) because if people just think that God will save them just by believing in Jesus and living by the Bible, then that completely erases all responsibility for the individual to take charge and try to create change, instead relying on some obscure outside force. To beat the New World Order, you must be spiritually oriented towards good but you must also be prepared to take action and make sacrifices when the time comes. So I caution those who view this struggle from a strictly Christian perspective to realize that the world is not black and white as you are led to believe. It is much more complicated than that. You may be free from the NWO but you're still a slave to Christianity.

I leave you with this. The highly-regarded Christian philosopher St. Anselm said that "God is something greater than which nothing can be conceived." I can conceive of a God greater than the God of the Bible, and I'm sure you can too. Think about it.
