I don't know exactly how it will all fit together, but I am more and more convinced that the Restrainer is the only One who is keeping things from moving forward and completely imploding today. As soon as we are gone, this planet is going to be a taste of hell on earth. If only 10% of Americans are caught up, that will be around 33 million people gone in a moment. The cognitive dissonance, fear, grief and panic will be a cocktail of emotion that will drive many to seek to end their lives. I would expect the American economy to collapse, and when it does there will be a worldwide economic implosion that creates the opportunity that Antichrist is looking for to implement his cashless global economy with a mark on the hand or forehead. I am so glad true believers will not be here, and so sad that billions refuse to choose God.

I agree. When the Body of Christ is gone, I only see chaos in this world. New regimes will take over. I see the collapse of the United States of America, bitcoin or ethrium might take over...

I am so glad true believers will not be here, and so sad that billions refuse to choose God. I'm going to earnestly pray against this happening. The enemy constantly pushes people even now to kill themselves. And your comment made me think that he'll be working over time on that goal after the rapture. For those left behind, who recognize that it was the rapture that happened, I could see the devil's lies being: - You got left behind by mistake, you must kill yourself to join those raptured. - You got left behind and there's no more chance for you to trust Christ and go to heaven (trying to manifest suicidal depression). For those who won't recognize what happened as the prophesied rapture, I can see his approach being just what you mentioned: - Extreme anxiety, fear, hopelessness, etc. But the truth is: - The door of salvation will still stand open after the rapture. It's one of the reasons God sends the Two Witnesses to preach during that time. - Those who come to faith after the rapture, during the great tribulation (tribulation saints), will have to stand for God during the most wicked and godless society to ever be on the earth. One that is literally lead by satan and the antichrist. - It's so much better to completely escape the wrath to come by trusting in Christ now. I will also be praying for any people who might be lurking on this forum before September 23rd (who haven't yet trusted Christ and don't know if the teachings about Christ from the bible are trustworthy), who might be investigating this sign and wondering if a rapture really will happen in just a few days. Those who are skeptical (but maybe intrigued) and resolve to perhaps trust Christ on September 24th, if this sign does come to pass in conjunction with the rapture. Regardless of what happens on September 23rd or after, no one is guaranteed to even make it to next weekend (people, of all ages, die and enter eternity daily). Every day we live is a new mercy from God and we should use our time wisely and make sure we've properly examined Christ's offer of salvation. Our response to His invitation is the most important decision to be made in this life.
