Because I preached this doctrine for over 20 years, I believe I can speak to it with a certain degree of clarity. Although it is not within the scope of this particular post to argue the finer points of biblical interpretation on this subject, I am happy to discuss with any and all comers the misinterpretations we have used to arrive at a Pre-Trib Rapture.
The purpose of this post is to pose another, perhaps even more poignant, question. What world event must take place in order for you to realize you missed the Rapture?
On the Freeway of Biblical Eschatology there are several exits of Rapture theory, the first of which is the Pre-Trib Rapture. My question again: What buildings/events/scenes will you have to pass in order for you to know that the exit is not valid? I have listed below some possible exits.
Global Monetary System: This week on Fox News I listened to a report about the Nationalization of America’s banks. The reporter stated that the problems that the US is currently facing are not indigenous to this country alone. We are in the midst (or at least the beginning) of a global economic meltdown that must culminate in a singular, albeit regional, monetary system.
The revealing of the Antichrist: This ministry has stated for the past several years to be mindful of what is taking place in Syria and Iran. Get the latest details here: http://profoundprophecy.com/
The Continued Crumbling of the US Government: It does not take a rocket scientist to understand that chipping away at the moral fiber of any country will eventually lead to its demise. Just like EVERY nation, the US must fall to make way for the Kingdom of Messiah.
I would like to know personally what exit you must pass to KNOW that the Pre-Trib Rapture fits into the category described by the prophet Jeremiah (Jer. 16:19)

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 would still be piloting a tugboat on the Mississippi. roly-poly Thomas Ice (Tim LaHaye's No. 1 strong-arm enforcer) would still be in his tiny folding-chair church which shares its firewall with a Texas saloon, Jack Van Impe would still be a jazz band musician, Tim LaHaye would still be titillating California matrons with his "Christian" sex manual, Grant Jeffrey would still be taking care of figures up in Canada, Chuck Missler would still be in mysterious hush-hush stuff that rocket scientists don't dare talk about, and John Hagee might be making - and eating - world-record pizzas! 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!
