1pm my time. Unless it's going to be like New Year's 1999, and we're going to be watching on CNN, as mayhem occurs at 6pm in each time zone.IP: Logged |

Isn't it just the rapture? Jesus saves the chosen ones and then then it's not actually the end of the world (by fire) until October 21 or something. I also think I'm picking up some weird mass consciousness, like many people being afraid of death. So weird. IP: Logged |

The Rapture is a specific event for a specific group of people.It is not the end of the world in any sense of the word. The rest of the world will not be affected by this event other than having to come up with an explanation ------------------ "Enlightenment doesn't result from sitting around visualizing images of light, but from integrating the darker aspects of the self into the conscious personality Jung He who controls his Spirit is greater than he who controls a city Proverbs

Sorry, I wouldn't have started a new thread if I had known the topic was already under discussion. Your comments about this article are valid. The Rapture is not the "end of the world". It is said to be the beginning of the 7 years of trouble...tribulation. I must confess I was pi$$ed when I read the article. First, because the so called minister claims to be a Christian. Second, because the writer identifies him as a Christian minister. Third because no Christian minister who ever read the New Testament would predict the day...let alone the hour of the Rapture which signals the end of the world 7 years later. A Christian is literally a...follower of Christ. So why then would a Christian minister not listen to what Christ had to say on the subject of His return and the end of the world? Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." You cannot count back from an unknown future date and time to come up with a date and time for the "Rapture". lalalinda IP: Logged |

Jwhop The Rapture does not BEGIN the Tribulation.It precedes it. How much or how little is unknown.The only known time factor for the Rapture is it's preceding the Tribulation. The Rapture is likened to Noah's Arc in that people will be laughing about it before it happens ------------------

Ami Anne, I'm not going to quibble with you over semantics.I accept the fact that many believe there will be a Raputure before the Tribulation begins. How long before is conjecture so "precedes" is a good term. However, there are many among the various demoninations who do not believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. Well juni, someone forgot to lock the gate at GU...and I got out! IP: Logged |

well i found it odd that apparently all the believers were selling their stuff, and donating the proceeds to the church...if the minister and church are not in on the rapture, why are people believing in them? sounds like jonestown without the poison koolaid to me.and it was very specifically said that the actual end of the world would be in october for the rest of us damaged goods. so maybe the minister is sticking around to attempt to convert the rest of us god forsaken folk before the real end comes? i heard this same man of god predicted the rapture to be in 1994...any data on that anyone? and jwhop, that is 3pm your time so let us know if anything happens in the next couple of hours, 'k?

1994 was made up by the same guy that made up today's date as the end of the world.Found this online: 1792 - Shakers calculated this date.
1844 - William Miller predicted Christ would return between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844, then revised his prediction, claiming to have miscalculated Scripture, to October 22, 1844. Miller's theology gave rise to the Advent movement. 1977 - William M. Branham prophesied that the Rapture would take place in 1977. 1981 - Chuck Smith undogmatically predicted that Jesus would likely return by 1981. 1988 - Publication of 88 Reasons why the Rapture is in 1988 , by Edgar C. Whisenant. 1989 - Publication of The final shout: Rapture report 1989 , by Edgar Whisenant. More predictions by this author appeared for 1992, 1995, and other years. 1992 - Korean group "Mission for the Coming Days" predicted October 28, 1992 as the date for the rapture. 1993 - Seven years before the year 2000. The rapture would have to start to allow for seven years of the Tribulation before the Return in 2000. Multiple predictions. 1994 - Pastor John Hinkle of Christ Church in Los Angeles predicted June 9, 1994. Radio evangelist Harold Camping predicted September 27, 1994. 2011 - Harold Camping's revised prediction has May 21, 2011 as the date of the rapture. 2060 - Sir Isaac Newton undogmatically proposed, based upon his calculations using figures from the book of Daniel, that the rapture could happen no earlier than 2060.
