I don't even know how to respond to this post and accusation that I know nothing about the different views of the rapture. It's obvious you've grossly misread my post.
My point was that the AC
must come before the rapture. To prove this logically, I started by saying that we know that the AC will sign a peace treaty with Israel and that this will signify the beginning of the tribulation. Are you with me so far? Now, the only way that a man could sign a peace treaty is if he is alive and presumably more than a few days old right? This means that the AC would have been alive for a few decades, then all of the sudden the rapture happens, and a few day or weeks later the AC signs the treaty. Ergo, the AC will be around before the rapture and tribulation. Understand?
Of course, all of this is moot, since, as Omega pointed out, the Anti-Christ is not really the Anti-Christ until he becomes possessed by the devil in the middle of the tribulation. Taking this into account, we conclude that the Rapture comes before the AC.
This, of course, is all from the standpoint of what the pre-tribbers believe - thought I'd clear that up so you don't rip me to pieces again.
Another interesting thought: Isn't it ironic that the AC will be thrown into the lake of fire? I always thought air conditioners were supposed to keep things cool, but I don't think this one will be able to handle the heat!
