Last Things

There aren't many Christians round here- nor real ones anyway- so I don't suppose wer'e going to notice the Rapture.

Anyway, when the time comes, I'll be watching Dr Who.

I wonder which time zone is the relevant one. Does Australia get the Rapture before Europe and North America?

I believe so. The apocalypse is supposed to be rolling west with the sun- turning up in each time zone as 6.o'clock strikes. In which case it has already failed to manifest itself Down Under

Yes, after I commented here I came across that information elsewhere.

AS has been said - it did not happen. Poor "Dr" Camping, 2nd time wrong. Eventually the world WILL end though. 23 March 2024.

Rather grandly he replied "The day I die".

You've got it planned?

No. The bible says "It is not for any man to know the appointed time" but I have an inkling. I may be wrong, but I don't see me making my 63rd birthday.

I suppose Her Majesty, as Supreme Governor of the Church, will be raptured shortly. Of course, the Prince of Wales, as a notorious adulterer, will be left behind. I wonder if they'll take the Archbishop of Canterbury?

Notice that all the interesting people are the ones left behind?

Since people will be ascending minus their apparel, perhaps we should wait at the gates of Buck Palace and catch Her Majesty's jewels as they drop to the ground while she goes skyrocketing off to the heavens? We've got until October to spend the proceeds.

Surely the big thing is repentance- and whether Charles knows Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. If he's been Born Again, he'll be whizzing off through the ceiling with the best of them.

I have my doubts about old Beardie too.

To a fan, that is Rapture of a sort.

Only when it's good- and this week it wasn't good. :)
