The Second major event of that day is it will be when comet Elinin will be directly between us and the sun. Many a post tribber has speculated that it is the sixth seal of Revelation. Marshall Masters at http://www.yowusa.com has said that this is the most dangerous time with the comet. The big thing to watch is the fact that there has been an increase of earthquakes as this comet gets closer. I am not going to debate that and there are still others that say that the comet has broken up so therefore it will be of little to no consequence. This week alone, we have had more than eight earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater. One of those quakes was a 7.3. These are not insignificant. Jesus said in Matthew 24 that their will be earthquakes in diverse places. The question is, is the comet causing the quakes or is something else? Speculation has occurred because the alignment has caused other quakes and with the comet approaching the closest point, will with cause the big one found in Revelation 6 associated with the sixth seal?
One interesting note is that President Obama has planned that day to fly to Denver, CO. What is so significant about that? The new Denver International Airport(DIA, DEN on your ticket) is an mysterious place. According to Jesse Ventura and his series, Conspiracy Theory, It was built with lots of underground passageways and buildings far from town with some interesting artwork. The thought goes that he would come to town to run the government from the underground bunkers at the airport in case of a major disaster. Denver is considered a safe place, far from the coast, on a high plain, where you can build lots underground.
The other safe place is Northern Arkansas, Southern Missouri.. Interesting, that the other new airport built during Clinton years was Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport west of Fayettville, AR. Everyone saw that as pork that Clinton got for his favorite school. But now looking at it it could have been another place they could send government people during a time of crisis. Northwest Arkansas has many caves that would serve well as protection from a solar storm or other major disaster.
The other major event happening in the world about the same time is in the Middle East. The Palestinians have asked the United Nations to grant them Statehood without a treaty from Israel defining land. This can be very troubling. I have seen reports that say that Palestine will just claim all the territory of Israel as its own. I have also seen where Israel plans on Annexing Judea and Sumeria. If either or both of them happens, along with a favorable outcome from the U.N. then we are looking at war. Right now efforts should be made to encourage the state department to veto the proposal in the Security Council. Will it be the Psalm 83 war that is being speculated? we don't know. But we do know that it could come down to Iran and Russia invading Israel causing the Gog and Magog war.
When you see the week September 28 should be an interesting one. Keep your eye on the sky and an ear to the ground.

How can the “rapture” be “imminent”? Acts 3:21 says that Jesus “must” stay in heaven (He's now there with the Father) “until the times of restitution of all things” which includes, says Scofield, “the restoration of the theocracy under David’s Son” which obviously can’t begin before or during Antichrist’s reign. ("The Rapture Question," by the long time No. 1 pretrib authority John Walvoord, didn't dare to even list, in its scripture index, the too-hot-to-handle Acts 3:21!) Since Jesus can’t even leave heaven before the tribulation ends (Acts 2:34,35 echo this), the rapture therefore can't take place before the end of the trib! (The same Acts verses were also too hot for John Darby - the so-called "father of dispensationalism" - to list in the scripture index in his "Letters"!)
Paul explains the “times and the seasons” (I Thess. 5:1) of the catching up (I Thess. 4:17) as the “day of the Lord” (5:2) which FOLLOWS the posttrib sun/moon darkening (Matt. 24:29; Acts 2:20) WHEN “sudden destruction” (5:3) of the wicked occurs! The "rest" for "all them that believe" is tied to such destruction in II Thess. 1:6-10! (If the wicked are destroyed before or during the trib, who'd be left alive to serve the Antichrist?) Paul also ties the change-into-immortality “rapture” (I Cor. 15:52) to the posttrib end of “death” (15:54). (Will death be ended before or during the trib? Of course not! And vs. 54 is also tied to Isa. 25:8 which is Israel's posttrib resurrection!)
Many are unaware that before 1830 all Christians had always viewed I Thess. 4’s “catching up” as an integral part of the final second coming to earth. In 1830 this "rapture" was stretched forward and turned into a separate coming of Christ. To further strengthen their novel view, which the mass of evangelical scholars rejected throughout the 1800s, pretrib teachers in the early 1900s began to stretch forward the “day of the Lord” (what Darby and Scofield never dared to do) and hook it up with their already-stretched-forward “rapture.” Many leading evangelical scholars still weren’t convinced of pretrib, so pretrib teachers then began teaching that the “falling away” of II Thess. 2:3 is really a pretrib rapture (the same as saying that the “rapture” in 2:3 must happen before the “rapture” ["gathering"] in 2:1 can happen – the height of desperation!).
Other Google articles on the 181-year-old pretrib rapture view include "Pretrib Rapture Scholar Wannabes," “Famous Rapture Watchers,” "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," “X-Raying Margaret,” "Edward Irving is Unnerving," “Thomas Ice (Bloopers),” "Walvoord Melts Ice," “Wily Jeffrey,” “The Rapture Index (Mad Theology),” “America’s Pretrib Rapture Traffickers,” “Roots of (Warlike) Christian Zionism,” “Scholars Weigh My Research,” “Pretrib Hypocrisy,” "Appendix F: Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Pretrib Rapture Secrecy," “Deceiving and Being Deceived,” and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty" – all by the author of the bestselling book “The Rapture Plot” (see Armageddon Books).
