Put Aside October 21, 2011 – The World Is Ending
Apparently the rapture is coming (again), and we have been given a date (again). Of course, unlike the almost uncountable number of failed predictions of the rapture and eventual destruction of all sinners by a loving God, this one is true. The rapture will occur on May 21, 2011, and the end of days will follow on October 21, 2011. These dates have been calculated form the bible, so you know that they are accurate. Just like the many and varied estimates of the age of the earth. And we know that in no way is the bible open to any interpretation other than the one true reading, so these dates are fixed.
Now if anyone who truly believes that the rapture is coming to take them to heaven on May 21 this year would like to hand over all their possessions to me on that date or earlier (because obviously you wont be needing them), drop me a line via email and we can have the appropriate papers drawn up. Let’s see you put your money where your faith is.
Me ? I’ll just keep moving along as usual, safe in the knowledge that May 21 and October 21 will pass like any other day.
Happy Rapture everyone.
For those interested, here is a list of some 220 previously predicted dates for divine end of times. Not a great track record.
Churches never mention these verses that state the believers will know more than the unbeliervers like when christ will return, ask your minister what these verses mean! I am sure that he will not have an answer.
1 Thessalonians 5:
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Daniel 12:
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
If I had a minister and did ask him, I suspect that he would come up with answer that is different the answer that the minister next to him would give, and so on down the line. There is no meaning to the bible other than that which the reader brings, which is why there are so many variations of interpretation, and why the word of God always seems to agree with the particular political or moral views of those espousing it.
Surely, if it truly were the word of the one and only supreme being, there would be only one, definitive meaning. But there isn’t. That’s what you get when you make it up as you go along.
