EXCELLENTLY presented. It is SO true that people go along with it hope the lions will eat them last. VERY well said. I perceive these "go along" people as more dangerous than those who plot our demise.

When my daughter was about 5, I was traveling a lot for business. One day as we were driving someplace in the car she got all serious and said, "Daddy, when you go places you should sit at the very back of the plane." I asked her why. "Because," she said, "If the plane crashes you'll be the last one to get killed."

I thought it was cute at the time, but it was akin to the lions eating us last. As JD has pointed out, that's not a sound philosophy. It is the reasoning of a precocious 5-year-old.

As Christians, we have a phenomenal "long term plan." It's the "Until we get there" part that deserves some work. We shouldn't let Pre- or Post-Tribulation Rapture arguments interfere with our long term plans for breakfasts. We can see trouble coming. Some of that trouble is already here. We need to plan for it. And sitting in the back of the plane is no plan.
