I wish you the best of luck. I've been feeling as though something is happening, and I hope you and your child will not have to go through the tribulation.

But be ready for all the bigoted idiots who are going to invade this thread claiming that "God is not real" or "God & the Bible are just propaganda spread by TPTB" etc.

But I had an awakening and realized that God is everywhere, no matter what you want to call him, he is everywhere and will be coming down here to fulfill what has been written.

Going by your tone, it is you who has the problem. So anyone who holds a different view to you is a 'bigotted idiot'? Hmm... In fact one could argue that there are also religious individuals who are 'bigotted'. But let's not go there. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs but they should also respect the beliefs of others. Just to add there are plenty of God believers who nevertheless believe that the tribulation/rapture does not exist in the commonly understood sense.
OP I don't know the truth about this or indeed whether there really is a sinister increase in the setting up of fema camps. Bear in mind claims about this have been going on for several years - including a number of 'military rule and roadblocks happening NOW' hoaxes.
That said - looking at the global economy/global unrest, it is quite logical to assume that detainment and other facilities are consequently being developed. There doesn't even need to be a religious component to it.

I understand you need to work God into the doings of the world to such an extent that you envision this "rapature" business as an actual element of reality.

You know, if you want to quietly sit down and think about the world, there is not one actual bit of evidence for a god every to have had a hand in the creation of anything nor having literally promised to come back at some future day and haul a bunch of the good folk away to eternal salvation while those that remain get roasted.

We have good evidence--at least to when compared to god evidence--that UFOs are real and that there are gobs of aliens out there at other stars and therefore, some among them have managed via some method or many to come here. So the honest score from the actual playing field is rapture 0, aliens 1.

Granting you your biased view that a rapture is coming and the military will be necessary to keep the order of those that remain, that view cannot withstand a simple analysis. The Christian view of God is that if anything, he/she/it is all forgiving. So if you get hauled up to God's UFO, and I don't, you can bet that I and everyone caught in that situation will become instant conversions. What will God do? Give us the finger and fly off with the likes of you and leave all of us with no thought of redemption? Wouldn't that mean that God was through messing with the Earth and it was now of no importance to him? Humanity had that one chance of saving itself within a infinite period of time and when that time came after billions and billions of individuals had come and gone over eons regardless of religious affiliations for not, the clock ran out and the game was finally over?

Such an end to the world as the rapture scenario has some peculiar side effects upon the unfortunates that would not be taken, agreed?. Let's discuss two crucial points. Why would your loving God allow us sinners to continue fouling up his universe? Alternately, why would a loving God murder billions of us sinners while taking such loving care of a few hundred thousand of his worshippers?

My view is clear. Acknowledgment of ET life is growing each day, the UFOs already have amply proved that fact to some of us, and the government has been in involved with working agreements with the ETs, mandated by the ETs, for decades and that is why we are seeing the drastic changes in absolutely every aspect of our world which all involve some degree of control never before seen or imagined. Frankly, I see little difference between your stylized God and the coming of the ETs. And as has been suggested by many others by this time, the two are one and the same. You will need to chose which one is more real and which one is a myth.

The government was complicit in 9/11, they purposely killed many people and blew up the twin towers. That is the act of a tyranical government not one that wants to help people if the rapture comes.

The job of government is to look after its people not kill them, we put too much trust in these people and they have totally abused that trust. this has nothing to do with a rapture, or anything else like that. This is to do with power hungry nutcases who want to rule over us like tyrants of old. If they have thier way they will be no different from the Aztec leaders who cut out people hearts or who threw children into fire pits for thier own amusement.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

'The Rapture' is a fairly modern construct:

Pre-tribulation rapture theology was developed in the 1830s by John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren,{9} and popularized in the United States in the early 20th century by the wide circulation of the Scofield Reference Bible.{10}

Tradtionally, it was belived to happen upon Christ's actual return... not at the beginnning of the Tribulation.

I've lived my entire life (I'm now 60) with the unshakable knowledge that during my lifetime something of immense, epic proprotions would occur that was unavoidable, unpleasant and necessary. I know that it isn't about me personally but rather an extremely large-scale (possibly global) event or series of events. But I am confident it isn't 'Rapture' related.

And yes... my spidey sense has been on high-alert for several years.

My personal opinion on 9/11 is that some government was involved with the descruction of the buildings, building 7 going down is what surprised me the most, and the fact that the building was evacuated ahead of time. Research what government agencies were in that builing. Hell, that building I believe was a 43 story building and wasn't hit by a jumbo jet and went down. Controlled demolition. But I don't believe the heads of our government were aware of all of this. I think they are just puppets for the Bilderberger Group anyway. Someone was in the buildings weeks, if not months in advance painting with liquid thermite. No other way the temps could have risen so high. This country is so screwed up and I know my fore fathers who all shed blood in war for this country are all rolling over in their graves as if they were on a rostierre. I know a lot of people will shoot back at me for what I've said here but please understand these are my opinions and I'm not trying to sway anyone my way. It's important that each and every one of us do our own research and come to our own conclusions. If I'm wrong I'm sure I'll find out in time.
Peace!

Won't the military, police, national guard, etc... numbers be reduced by a rapture?
IF a rapture were to happen, they would be just as amazed, scared and shocked as any civilian.
Many would find it hard to do their jobs.
Imagine, you suddenly find members of your family gone, friends and colleagues disappear before your eyes.
How well are you going to be able to do your job?
Will you even WANT to?
