That is an interesting thought! I just have a few questions 1. Where is the idea of the rapture come from? Can you point me to a verse saying there will be a rapture?( I am not trying to be a smart guy or anything like that, just again asking).

The second question: If Glen Beck or this other gentleman was around during the fall of the Persian, Greek, Roman, British Empires (end of the Renaissance period), the Great Depression, could they not have said the same thing that they are predicting now?

I picked each of these events to show that nothing has ever really changed (my opinion) and that cycles do happen. I think that these two gentlemen have understood their history books and studied. What do you think?

I know this discussion might be off topic. If someone else has any questions about bible prophecy and wants to start their own thread, I'll be glad to answer any questions if I can. But I thought of replying to this post if nobody minds.

1) I personally would point to 1 Thessalonians 2:19, where Paul mentions Jesus coming back.

2) Just wanting to make things clear, Glenn Beck has never said that the rapture will occur. As a matter of fact, he's treating it as if we won't go through the rapture. What Glenn Beck is saying is that we're about to go through very tough economic times and that there is a group of global elite who want a one-world government. Again, he's never mentioned the rapture.

3) The reason why I say that this time is different than any other time is because (according to both Glenn Beck and Grant Jeffrey) there's a group who wants a one-world government. If you read about bible prophecy, you may know about the one-world government that the Antichrist will control during the Tribulation Period (after the rapture). Another thing to mention is that the world will be in absolute chaos when the global economic collapse occurs. When there's chaos throughout the world, this group that wants a one-world government just might propose their plan, and the people of the world will cling to the idea of stopping the chaos by creating a one-world government. I personally connect all of these things and say that the rapture very much might happen soon.
