This then creates the circumstances producing the Rapture: Pre Mid or Post Tribulation?....which is what they so fervently desire. Rather a selfish and self-satisfying situation but since there will apparently only be “selected” Christians "saved" (and only “god” knows which Christians, unless one converts to which Christianity?) kind of leaves a huge army of Sinners behind!! Sorry about the flippancy.

This is when the AC steps up and makes a treaty that promises peace, and offers an answer to the financial and food crisis that now faces the world with the destruction of the USA.
The EU is now the most powerful entity on earth. The Chinese will later disagree (the 200 million man army mentioned in Revelation) and mentioned as "Tidings out of the north and east" in Daniel.
The AC's answer will be the mark, and rationing.

And when JESUS is supposed to flex his muscle how come he let's the EU get away with becoming the most powerful nation on earth? why would he do that if they are supposed to be the bad guys?

The tribulation period is actually going to be a period of time in which God goes one step further. During this time God will allow man the most freedom he has ever had to establish a world with man in charge. God says' OK you want a world without me then go for it". It will lead to such destruction that man will be ready to completely destroy themselves and that is when Christ returns to the earth, to put an end to this destruction.

Mankind as a whole has rejected God. So while some are coming to Christ and God is redeeming people for eternity another thing is happening. That other thing is those who reject God are trying to build a world without Him. So inessence that is why we see all the destruction and death. God is allowing man to build this world so that we will see that without Him man's efforts are futile and lead to death. If God did not allow this, man and the angels would be able to question God's wisdom. That is actually what satan has done already, "hath God really said". God is allowing the universe to see that what God himself says, and the way He does things, is the right way.

Because man left to himself will create death and annihilation, it will be proven for all eternity that God knows what He's doing, and we will never again be able to question if His ways are the right ways.

You've forgotten one very very very important fact. Satan is the ruler of the Earth. The Bible makes many many many references to this. People forgot so often this fact, that they blame God for any hardships faced here. [edit on 082828p://000 by LogoWatch]

The definition of a zealot is:
" someone who goes ahead and does what he knows the good lord would do if the good lord only had all the facts of the matter."

Why do you think the world is such a cesspool? Satan is in charge, and he loves misery! Why do you think people have been slowly conditioned to forget about God and Jesus and worry about things like Sunday NFL and Sex and the City? Because they've slowly been conditioned to! How else would it be possible to get people to forget about Jesus and God, unless you do it so gradually that its barely noticeable, until its too late.
I'm not saying go out and join a Church, because that's not even what will save you. Read the Bible, find Jesus in your heart, and maybe like me, you'll figure out what is going on around us (NWO).
As for the comments about Religious Zealots. I agree, there are alot of people out there who do bad things to others in the name of religion.
True Christianity is a religion of peace and love for Jesus and mankind. It doesn't get much better than that. That is the message that is missing in this world. Its all about "self gain" and making more money at the expense of others. Its a world of Antichrist before the true Antichrist has even arrived.
