American evangelicals have been in-fighting over whether their end-time "rapture" is BEFORE or AFTER a future "tribulation" (a.k.a. Antichrist's reign).
The escapist BEFORE (or pretrib) view is obviously the most "comforting" one and is also the most popular one. In fact, books promoting the BEFORE rapture have broken sales records; Hal Lindsey has sold 35 million while Tim LaHaye has surpassed 60 million!
While BEFORE promoters claim that their view is 2000 years old, a recent book by journalist-turned-historian Dave MacPherson entitled "The Rapture Plot" has a tsunami of recently discovered facts showing that the BEFORE belief is less than 200 years old, was invented in 1830 in Scotland, and became a part of American evangelicalism only about a century ago!
The 300 pages of "The Rapture Plot" contain the most accurate documentation on the pretrib rapture's long-covered-up-but-now-
For some other shocking Google articles, see "Famous Rapture Watchers," "Pretrib Rapture Secrets," "Pretrib Rapture Pride," "Pretrib Rapture Politics," and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty." Many of MacPherson's unique writings are on blogs, such as "The End Times Passover," owned by media figure Joe Ortiz.

Yes, the pretrib rapture war still goes on, but I believe that the pretribbers are losing it and that many are getting their eyes open, thanks to your fine blog which keeps everyone informed as to prophetic developments. May He keep on blessing and using you.

Joe Ortiz, I don't know of anyone on the whole earth who is doing more than you to expose the stupid lie called the pre-trib rapture. Your blogs and sites and Facebook presence have so much great information about it that I am dumbfounded that anyone who reads anything or listens to anything still believes in that anti-Bible fantasy! I have been telling all of my friends to check you out. God bless you a lot.
