No, but there will be a time, after all the Christians are raptured right before the worlds very eyes, that those left behind will make up excuses for what has happened, and they'll believe it. Hundreds of thousands of Christians will disappear into thin air in a 'blink of an eye', and all the world will witness it, and yet in a few short years everyone will totally forget it ever happened. It's called the great lie, brought forth by the anti-Christ, who of course you will not believe in if you don't believe the Bible.

So if you die in 80-100 years (medical science being what it is), and there hasn't been a rapture, you are still confident that it's coming later?
What about all those that are certain it will happen within 40 years? Are you willing to accept that they might be wrong, and it will be later?
Is it fair to assume that you agree that having a moving deadline makes it easier to believe? Does that pose any issues for you? Is there ANY date by which you'd agree that this was all one big mistake? 2200? 2500?
Again, just curious how it works.
