Bible Prophecy and Current Events

I was watching CNN a few days ago and saw Senator Joe Biden being interviewed. He was asked about Iraq of course, and he answered without hesitation as is normal with the majority of the Democrats in office now. The thing is; Senator Biden had some very good ideas about how to deal with the stagnate situation there.
The longer I listened to the interview, the more I realized he may actually have the answers that hold the key to ending the war. While this is true, what really weighed on my mind is another incident in history that is yet to come, the "rapture."
Those who have studied the Bible, or who are churched know what I am speaking about. For those who do not know what the rapture is, I'll explain. It is the day that is rapidly approaching when Jesus, the Christ returns to take His children(those who are Christians) to heaven, a place He has prepared just for them. See: "Praise the Lord." See this post also to see the definition of a Christian.
The reason this came to mind is the ideas Senator Biden has for Iraq. A man will soon arrive on the scene that has all the answers for ending the fighting for Israel. This man will be very charismatic, will most likely come from the European Union, and will make a 7 year peace treaty for Israel, but watch out. It will only last for 31/2 years and all hell will break lose on earth.
When we begin hearing about this 7 year peace treaty for Israel, we can look for the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ to take His children home. Unfortunately though, those who are not Christians will be left behind. For the first half of this 7 years they will be fine, but once things go sour, they will be forced to take the mark of the beast. The Bible tells us the number of the anti-christ is 666, and this number could be used in that mark. Without this mark, a person will be unable to get a job, unable to rent or buy a home, unable to purchase food to eat, and unable to obtain medical care. The problem with taking the mark of the beast is this; it gets it's recipient a one way ticket straight to hell.
Hell was not created for man, nor man for hell, but what is hell? Hell is a place of eternal torment created for satan and his demons(the 1/3rd of all the angels) who decided to follow Lucifer(the angel of light) in his rebellion against God. Hell was created for them. It is a place, according to the Bible, that burns with fire and brimstone, an unquenchable fire that will last forever. It is a place where there is weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth. It is a place where no-one who is there, wants you to be.
Sounds like the perfect vacation spot right? If not, why send yourself there by rejecting Jesus Christ? Keep your eyes on current events, we've been warned! It's all in there, the Holy Bible that is.

If anyone redirects to secret rapture's site, before you become confused, e-mail me so we can chat about the Bible and what it says. It is an amazing book of history that has been proven to be true, and of prophecies that have been fulfilled. The accuracy of the Bible proves it could only have been written by people who were inspired by a Supreme Being. That Supreme Being is God.
