God's anyway.
If you believe Rapture text, nothing we do or don't do is going to make any difference in God's decision on the date of the Rapture. It is also a sin in Christianity to tell fortunes or foresee the future; therefore, a good Christian could never make an assumption on God's decision in the first place.
Maybe if we explained that and then pointed out that what we CAN make a difference in is how people are treated on this earth and that Jesus would want us to treat humankind with dignity in keeping with the Sermon on the Mount. Maybe only then can some of these Evangelicals would actually start hoping for Peace.
