This is what I believe as well. I have heard too many people not even be able to hear the truth because it is not what they want to have happen. I even heard a Stanford PHD say that. Their desire to avoid any suffering guides their thoughts and actions. And pastors teach it because they tithe and support pleasing messages.

God has a different plan and the rapture is 7 years + 40 days after the tribulation starts. It is 40-45 days into the "Day of The Lord" the 8th year after the 7 year tribulation period.

God has special judgments in store for those pastors who usurped the pulpit and taught lies to people. They were responsible for knowing the truth and teaching it, and many cowed to money.

When you say do not judge, make sure you understand the difference between discernment and judgment. Many churches have the "dont judge" jedi mind trick going which is second only to the favorite mind trick "no one knows the day or the hours" "These are not the end times you're looking for" and suddenly I am not supposed to know all of the clues that God has shown me hidden in scripture.

I am telling you the reasons for the judgments that God is doing coming up. There is a cause for jdgment here.
