Possible rapture imminent. Last thoughts everybody, please!

robindch

Well, we're just into the last eight hours, at least in our time zone and I'm wondering what profound thoughts people have on this, possibly their last night on earth?

I'm with Douglas Adams's advice on what to do if you're stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue:

Douglas Adams wrote:

Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.

Any other ideas, thoughts, regrets?

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

8 hours eh? I reckon its time for a slap up BBQ and a piss up, and then not worry about hangover

stevejazzx

I hope that just one atheist can make it into heaven just to undermine god for eternity!

Canis Lupus

Will it be worth staying up for?

Hey!

I suppose just a heads up for people. When your adverts.ie and eBay accounts stop working at midnight I'm now set up as professional middle man. I charge 10% to facilitate all your trading needs.

So is it midnight tonight or midnight tomorrow? Is tomorrow the last day or today?

TechFreak

Hmmmm...may be about time to trade in that soul. Any got the going rate these days?

Well, I think technically, today's the last full day. Somebody mentioned that the rapture is due to start tomorrow evening at 6, New York time, which is around the time the rapture party is going to be thrown out of the Lord Nelson tomorrow evening.

Should make for a fun cycle home, avoiding all those naked, upwardly-airborne christians.

Unfortunately, Mr Campings website has fallen over(*), so we can't check the latest.

(*) or has it been raptured early?

Anyone else starting to wish they put Roman Catholic on their census form?

Captain Darling: Made a note in my diary on the way here. Simply says: "Bugger"

It'd be awful ironic if the Dirk Gently program never got aired because of the rapture.

A veloci-rapture?

Anyone want to "repent" and go undercover?

Then when you reveal yourself and get cast down to Hell with us, you can tell us what the story is. And by that I mean is Jesus really blonde with blue eyes or does he look like Super Mario.

Isn't it 6pm tomorrow? It'll start at 6pm everywhere, so we can enjoy watching the Australians getting sucked up into the sky. That gives us about 25 hours to go.

Don't you know anything! Let me quote Dr. Alan Grant, Rapture expert

You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex – he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this – a six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, oh no … he slashes at you here [below chest] or here … [above the groin] or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is … you are alive when they start to eat

You know what this will mean, a huge chunk of the population flying into heaven?


Yeah that's right, higher taxes for those of us left behind :mad:

When the rapture happens, as the bible has guaranteed, whoever doesn't float magically up into the magical pixie sky remains for 5 months of earth hell and torment. This is fact, fair enough, I get it.. So when Mr. Camping remains on Earth after the rapture, he has no comeback to say that he calculated incorrectly, because he will remain on Earth, he is obviously not a 'true' Christian, he wasn't taken, nobody truly is a true Christian because nobody will be taken. I wonder if he'll convert to another brand of religion as soon as he finds out that he's not a true Christian, but I imagine he'll cop out and fob us off with the miscalculation excuse, again.

Hope amazon are still selling this after the weekend.

May 20, 2011 – No, the world is not ending on May 21, 2011 and the Bible does not call the day Judgment Day. We should avoid setting dates for any end of the world events. The Bible clearly states that the timing of Christ’s second coming is unknown to himself or to the angels in heaven: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36. Christ repeatedly told his disciples that the sequence and timing of such end-time events was in the hands of his Father only. Just before his accession, Christ made this salient point again with his disciples when they asked him if it was time to restore the nation of Israel. “And he said unto them, it is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.” Acts 1:7 Yet men, who are made a little lower than the angels, claim to know what has been secreted from the ages, hidden from human eyes, and is privileged to the Most High only. Christ warned his disciples: “Watch ye therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” Matthew 24:42. There are two other vital points about Christ’s coming worth mentioning: Every eye shall see the coming and all nations shall mourn because of His unexpected return. (Rev 1:7, Matt 240) Only He who made the world has the power to decide its end. This right of judgment resides in the authority and power of God, “who created all things by Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 3:9. Out of loving reverence and trust for the Creator, we should be careful about claiming rights and knowledge that is reserved to His providence along. Job 11:7. Man is called to stand firmly on the word of God as his foundation of truth and not on his interpretation of it. Christ came to this Earth, suffered an ignominious death and brought healing and light to human souls to demonstrate the true nature and loving character of the very God which was shrouded in the shadows and lies instigated by the fallen Lucifer. After this disappointment, thousands must live with frayed hopes and a faith that is in tatters because it rests more in the hands of men than it does in the promises and Word of the Almighty. believe it or not

Coleslaw?! No thanks... I've got a box of wine and a tin of chocolate kimberlies.

And baby wipes. There's always a need for baby wipes.

Wine? Pffffff, my mate Jesus has so much of that it's like water ....





So.




Still there?















What about now?

Well this is disappointing. If I had predicted an event like this and convinced a large amount of people to abandon their worldly responsibilities and it completely failed to happen, I don't know how I could look myself in the mirror.

Its supposed to happen at 6pm, repent, feeble unbeliever.

Because "the lord" likes timezones.

Sarky

That's oddly accurate.

I suppose he's had experience though. It's not the first time he's predicted the end of the world.
