That's the thing; how many people WILL see all this calamity happening, figure 'well we should'a been gone by now, this must all be wrong', and say yeah I'm starving gimme the mark so I can buy some food?
Most debate subjects are relatively harmless in the long run. Being wrong on this one could be fatal.

Let's face it, if there is a Pre-Trib Rapture, no harm, no foul. Poof, us Post Tribbers will be gone too and everyone can have a good laugh at us in heaven. But if Post trib is correct, which it is, the events we have been describing will happen and many millions will die, turned in by fellow Christians. We know the Beast goes on and wages war with the Saints and defeats them.
I used to be a Baptist and used to go to Calvary Chapel, and still do on occasion. Chuck Smith has his thousands of pastors spewing this Pre Trib lie leaning on the thinnest of Biblical evidence. It really bothers me to listen to this lie. Just the other day I heard them talking on the radio saying that since the church isn't mentioned between Rev 3-19 that this proves there was a Rapture. Common, men of God, don't let Satan fool you so easily. Unless there is a verse that specifically states the church will be taken BEFORE the Rapture - Don't assume it. An event this monumental would be clearly mentioned not just once but likely several places as the Post Trib version is mentioned clearly several places.
