It's taken me a bit to recover from the election and some personal wounds inflicted (not here)- but I want to finish this. Whether or not you agree, some of you said for me to go on! :-)
Because so much of this was included in my previous posts on Israel, I will try to be brief.
Amir Tsarfati:
2Pe 1:20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."
Prophecy is spoken (and understood) through the Holy Spirit; do not believe that you cannot understand- especially in this age when things which were hidden are being revealed, and that which was sealed is being unsealed!
Dan 12:9 "And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
Things to keep watch on:
Russia: broke, and looking for money- ie. they are selling weapons to whomever will buy them.
Completing Naval Base in Syria- will have 30 warships next to Israel.
US: People want change- don't care what kind.
Syria: Starting work on another nuclear reactor and purchased from Russia a missile defense system.
Iran: Have been pursuing nuclear capability (despite what the world is told) since 1992.
Will have nuclear capability by the beginning of next year, with Russia's help.
Turkey: Forming relations with Iran, since their attempts to become "western" have been rejected. Depending on your interpretations of Eze. 38, (Magog as Russia or Turkey?) players are moving into place.
Encouragement: It is apparent that the US is not a key player in the end times. America could fall as a result of ecomonic, political, or wartime disaster, but if you consider the very conservative estimate that if 10% (not 48%!) of 300 million people (our pop.) were raptured, that is 3 million Americans gone- including key players at high levels of government. Look at any other country: There is none other that would collapse as a result of the rapture. A hopeful possiblity!
Israel: We can learn from history, including the Word: Either God will provide a way for Israel to defend themselves, or He will defend it Himself. In light of Iran's iminent nuclear capability, Israel is not worried. (In 1979, they stopped Iraq; in 2007 they stopped Syria.) We should expect an attack on Iran's plant, with or w/out the US's blessing, and the world will condemn Israel for it.

Sorry, maybe I was too brief :-)
Looking at the fact that we may live through in our lifetime the fall of the US, many people are fearful and discouraged that they are so unfortunate to live through this time because it could be very painful and difficult. To be blunt, yea, it's gonna suck, and possibly be very *very* ugly.
His point was that if we have to fall, maybe we should pray that God does it this way. Not that He has to of course, but as a possiblity. And a valid possiblity it is- by the sheer numbers, compare 9/11 - 3000 people dead, and look what it did to the country. Try 3 million.
The other point was to compare world governments. Europe's Christian numbers have declined severely, China would lose millions to the rapture, but not necessarily in the government. Russia? Korea? Iran? Israel? The US would not only be impacted by the rapture, but devastated.
Yes, a Hopeful Possibility!
(But there's also the argument that we should not be so bold as to hope that we would escape persecution when the rest of the Christian world has endured it....Another thoughtful, and hopeful *because our faith would be so strengthened* possiblity.)
Does that help?
