In the entire history of humankind, we have never before been so acutely aware of all the ways the world around us could end.
Global economic crisis, peak oil, civil unrest, martial law, class warfare, power grid failure, conventional warfare, chemical warfare, chemical terrorism, nuclear accidents, nuclear terrorism, global thermonuclear war, supervolcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, climate change, biological terrorism, pandemic influenza, genetically modified microorganisms and antibiotic-resistant viruses, nanotechnology, exotic matter experiments, black holes, asteroids, meteors, solar flares and magnetic pole reversals. Or how about something on a Biblical scale like the rapture or an alien invasion? 2012 anyone?
Every era has its end times prophets. When doomsday passes without so much as a cloud in the sky, everyone shrugs their shoulders and goes on living. Y2K was the latest hype and 2012 is the new fad, though it’s all being overshadowed by the reality of worldwide economic collapse — just the first loop on a roller coaster to Heaven and Hell.
Then again, we’re still here after millions of years of bad weather. From the animalistic survivalists of prehistoric times to our present-day peril, human life has always made it through. There were some close calls. When the Toba supervolcano erupted over 70,000 years ago, the human population entered a genetic bottleneck of just a few thousand survivors. And it’s precisely because history is filled with plagues, famine, disease and disaster that our science and technology has advanced to protect us, while simultaneously giving us a microscopic view of our own pending demise.
The evolution of life on Earth is an epic story of survival, of human compassion and ingenuity triumphing in the face of death. The story bears repeating now more than ever. We may not be going extinct anytime soon, but our advanced civilization is racing to catch up with the myriad threats we have revealed and created. Unfortunately, this time it looks like both Mother Nature and Human Nature are outpacing our best efforts.
We’re sprinting toward the end and it’s too late to change the course. While the rest of the population is left gasping for air and collapsing in the streets, the survivalists will be crossing the finish line, ready for the next great race.

The NEWEST Pretrib Calendar
Hal (serial polygamist) Lindsey and other pretrib-rapture-trafficking and Mayan-Calendar-hugging hucksters deserve the following message: “2012 may be YOUR latest date. It isn’t MAYAN!” Actually, if it weren’t for the 179-year-old, fringe-British-invented, American-merchandised pretribulation rapture bunco scheme, Hal might still be piloting a tugboat on the Mississippi. roly-poly Thomas Ice (Tim LaHaye’s No. 1 strong-arm enforcer) might still be in his tiny folding-chair church which shares its firewall with a Texas saloon, Jack Van Impe might still be a jazz band musician, Tim LaHaye might still be titillating California matrons with his “Christian” sex manual, Grant Jeffrey might still be taking care of figures up in Canada, Chuck Missler might still be in mysterious hush-hush stuff that rocket scientists don’t dare talk about, John Hagee might be making – and eating – world-record pizzas, and Jimmy (“Bye You” Rapture) Swaggart might still be flying on a Ferriday flatbed! To read more details about the eschatological British import that leading British scholarship never adopted – the import that’s created some American multi-millionaires – Google “Pretrib Rapture Diehards” (note LaHaye’s hypocrisy under “1992″), “Hal Lindsey’s Many Divorces,” “Thomas Ice (Bloopers)” and “Thomas Ice (Hired Gun),” “LaHaye’s Temperament,” “Wily Jeffrey,” “Chuck Missler – Copyist,” “Open Letter to Todd Strandberg” and “The Rapture Index (Mad Theology),” “X-Raying Margaret,” “Humbug Huebner,” “Thieves’ Marketing,” “Appendix F: Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “The Unoriginal John Darby,” “Pretrib Hypocrisy,” “The Real Manuel Lacunza,” “Roots of (Warlike) Christian Zionism,” “America’s Pretrib Rapture Traffickers,” “Pretrib Rapture – Hidden Facts,” “Dolcino? Duh!” and “Scholars Weigh My Research.” Most of the above is written by journalist/historian Dave MacPherson who has focused on long-hidden pretrib rapture history for 35+ years. No one else has focused on it for 35 months or even 35 weeks. MacPherson has been a frequent radio talk show guest and he states that all of his royalties have always gone to a nonprofit group and not to any individual. His No. 1 book on all this is “The Rapture Plot” (see Armageddon Books online, etc.). The amazing thing is how long it has taken the mainstream media to finally notice and expose this unbelievably groundless yet extremely lucrative theological hoax!

Everyone is invited to read "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty" on the "Powered by Christ Ministries" site. The documentation in it is absolutely overwhelming! James
