Acts gives us a Bird's eye view of church history
We can see the tribulation saints falling into two categories, those that denied Jesus like Peter and those that were consenting unto the death and persecution of Christians like Paul. Chapter 8 shows us the start of the persecution against the church after the rapture with Paul going into every house and arresting Christians causing them to scatter throughout the area.
Consider the persecution prior to chapter 8. First they tell them to stop preaching in the name of Jesus. Then they heal the lame man and the leaders freak out that they are trying to fill Jerusalem with this teaching. Think about what has happened the last few years, Youtube is being filled with those teaching and preaching Jesus.
Then it becomes clear they can do nothing to stop this so they take Stephen and put him to death. At the end of chapter 7 it says the heavens were opened. I believe that is the rapture event in typology in Acts. Stephen is an example of the dead in Christ who will rise first.
Which brings me to my point. What will be happening right when the church is raptured? I think the mirror image of the stoning of Stephen will be the stoning of Israel by the world. The OT prophesies about God responding because they divided His land. If you divide a person you kill them. The land is a type of Jesus Christ, He is our good land. When they stoned Stephen Jesus asked Paul "why persecutest me?" That was Jesus they were stoning.
That will be the final sign we will see prior to the rapture.

So what many of you are saying is that even though Trump will not fulfill most of his promises and not benefit the U.S. economy, that's better than having Kamala Harris as a president? Okay then.

Well well well.
Look at this interesting counter-troll offer from Canada:
A top Canadian politician has suggested some U.S. states should leave and join their neighbors to the north after Donald Trump's threats to take over the country.
Canada's Green Party leader Elizabeth May suggested the three liberal west coast states of California, Oregon and Washington would be better off becoming part of the Great White North.
She said they would benefit from universal healthcare and stricter gun laws if they chose to secede.
We are living in fun times!

Yes, but, there are far deeper troubling issues than hand signs.
I do find it interesting of all the times I have sat in chairs conversing with people, presenting etc., I cannot once remember making that formation with my hands.
I do not think it comes naturally.

it was, first term. If we all pray and live that our prayers are effectual we will see the Fathers blessings, He gave us dominion in the 1st chapter, any problems we have down here are not from His end, we own them from our disobedience.

Interesting, I can believe that too, but now the conspiracy theorist would say that is just a cover for their private signals..
I have seen people at my work always in black turtle necks every day because Steve Jobs stated it is important to lessen fashion fatigue and it makes one seem more powerful being in black.
