On the End of Times
http://home.flash.net/~evt/rapture.htm

To all my left behind friends, don't fret

There is a very good chance that as usual they missed it. No, we have not seen the Rapture... sorry believers.

But this is a fine tradition in the Judeo Christian history....

Oh never mind Mathew wrote that you'd not know at what time or what day... but hey, I guess a direct line to the Lord and all that.

Of course we have had this happen in Judaism, when the Messiah will come and take us all on to the Holy land, so it is time to sell all... and for those making fun of these guys... the last of those was fairly recent.

The problem is we live in prophetic times. No, not the actual ones, the we expect it to be.

This too shall pass, and a new date will be set, because somebody did the math wrong.

Did I mention Mathew? I thought so.

Do my left behind fellas, let's party like it is the end since apparently it is...

Oh and this is not the first age of prophecy either, but that is a whole different story.


PAAAARRRRTTYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13. excuse me, but you are the one that just had a post deleted for attacking me
my posts have not been attacks on you and despite your constant alerting have not been deleted.

I consider someone who is constantly predicting an extreme apocalyptic scenaria to fall into the catagory of apopalyptist, whether that comes from a secular place or a religious one.

19. It's From His Song "God Bless America". Full Lyrics:
Look yonder comin', mercy me
Three wise men in a SUV
Corporate logo on the side
Air-conditioned quiet ride

That thing don't run on french fry grease
That thing don't run on love and peace
Takes gasoline make that thing go
Now bring your hands up nice and slow

Take us to the land of milk and honey
Sing and dance all night long
Whatcha gonna do with all that money
Whatcha gonna do when that money's all gone

Negotiation's just no fun
And it don't serve our interests none
Gonna turn up the heat till it comes to a boil
So we can go get that Arab oil

And we'll suck it all up through the barrel of a gun
Everyday's the end of days for some
Republicans don't cut and run
Tell me ain't you proud of what we've done

Take us to the land of milk and honey
Sing and dance all night long
Whatcha gonna do with all that money
Whatcha gonna do when that money's all gone

You keep talking that shit like I never heard
Hush, little President, don't say a word
When the rapture comes and the angels sing
God's gonna buy you a diamond ring

Take us to the land of milk and honey
Sing and dance all night long
Whatcha gonna do with all that money
Whatcha gonna do when that money's all gone

12. Well it would have been all great
back in 1993 maybe, in the early days... when I was just learning to write html... and all that.

But these days... either somebody is way too cheap or they are going for the retro look

:-)

16. I know, what I loved though was
their link to the rapture video

Opens with you cannot know the day or the hour and then they go into how we can know the day or the hour.

I was like oh my...

Did somebody NOT read what they just used?

The one guy looks like Perry Stone, who in his own right is clinically insane.

18. Hey I do need to watch some of that crap
fiction writing and all that...

Just the... my god do I have the heart to do that, especially TONIGHT... I mean waiting for the sun to go down and the last peal of the Shofar... or was that Israel Time? Then it is come and gone

:evilgrin:

I know I am bad, and they are way OFF. They didn't have a second day of Rosh ha Shannah, it is ISRAEL after all.

So it would have been YESTERDAY... math challenged fundies...
