Well, the Bible gives us many signs of the end times, like the total destruction of Damascus (uninhabitable for the rest of eternity), but don't recall any of your four happenings being related to any scripture.
The Bible is clearly black and white, the first resurrection, and the second.
Have come to detest the word, Rapture and it's original meaning - Ain't in the Bible.
rapture
1600 "act of carrying off" from M.Fr. rapture, from M.L. rapture "seizure, rape, kidnapping," from L. raptus "a carrying off" (see rapt). Originally of women and cognate with rape (v). Sense of spiritual ecstasy" first recorded in 1629.
Does this sound like the much referenced "caught up" to you?
Father of Dispensationalism, John Nelson (full of crap) Darby - Divide the truth/scriptures! Totally, weakens faith, fly up to meet Jesus with your little beanie hats is not gonna happen. Scripture only says that "some will never taste death". Many interpret Timothy's "divide the truth" - this verse for you, this verse for me, this verse for them. I, personally, interpret it to mean for us to divide the "twisted truths" of man teachings.
Believers will be persecuted, so be strong and always ready, my fren.
