I am sure most would say ridiculous, but it is an interesting thought if you assign a lot of power to faith.

But faith does not over ride the plan and will of God. Paul showed the end time plan for the second coming:

1: Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2: That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3: Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4: Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5: Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

2 Thess. 2:1-5

Our faith agrees with the word/will of God.

...for the record.

Most Christians have no idea how great that tribulation was, the church has gone thru other tribulations since that time as well. As, Sis. Alvear has posted, and in China, anyone read "The Heavenly Man"? The book is about great tribulation in China over the past 30-40 years as well as currently.
