I am not a pre-trib rapture thinker. I am mid-trib. Several verses lead me to believe that we will see a portion of the "bad times" before we ascend into the clouds. I believe that the oil spill will do much damage to the U.S. More problems than what most people think. Some disaters are "fast" like earthquakes and storms, but some are "slow" like molasses on a cold day. The oil spill is one of those "slow" things". Over the coarse of the next year there will be a greater distruction from this than we have vision of. The "blood" that John saw in the sea meant "death". The oil is a killer - killing even from the largest of sea creatures to the smallest - the smallest being affected now which is the "bread" for the larger ones. When the food chain is disrupted - esp. at the base - the effect of distruction is not "fast to see". We are in for great storms and famine and earthquakes here in the U.S.A.. Not only in the physical but in the Spiritual. Our call to this nation is "Arise - Arise, open your eyes that are open but cannot see, open your ears that are open but cannot see!! Jesus is coming !!"
