What time will rapure occur on 21st May 2011?

[Jo Freddie]

I have foolishly agreed to work overtime on the night of the 20th. This means I will have to drive home on the 21st of May.......which we have been informed is the date of 'THE RAPTURE'.

Should I ask for danger money? At what time (BST) will the rapture be happening? Will I have time to get home before it starts? I will get home about 08:00 BST.

My concern is that should rapture occur while I am on the Motorway, which is a major highway like your interstate........(while I believe that the chances of rapture actually occurring are slim to none) I DO have to consider the possibility that it may happen.

If it does, I am not going to be taken. While this means my vehicle will not become a danger to others, any vehicle driven by a person who IS raptured, will no longer be under control and will be a danger to myself and other road users.

Have any of the Pastors given this situation much thought? Do they have any advise? Or, as I suspect, do they not care about the danger their "God" may cause those left behind?

So while I do not believe that the prophecy for the 21st of May will come to pass it would be wise to be prepared just in case!

A much more likely turn of events is that the rapture will be a no show, but this still makes driving on the roads a risky thing to do on the 21st, after all there will be drivers on the road who DO believe that the rapture is going to happen that day and may be in a hurry to get to their destination before it happens, these people will not be driving with due care and attention, so that takes me back to my first question, should I be asking for danger money due to the increased risk on the drive home? Would it be safer to get my employers to agree to pay for a hotel room so I can drive home on the 22nd (after midday local time of course) when the roads will be much safer?

I don't think you are taking this seriously

1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming
of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thess 4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

I am asking a very serious question, should we not be prepared for the 21st?

For those of us that do not believe anything will happen, those of you who do could very well be a risk to the rest of us, and if it should turn out that we are in the wrong then what you leave behind will be a dangerous hazard.

Those of us who are Saved are already well prepared.
Whilst we do not know the exact time or even the date of Jesus's return, rest assured he will be back, and it will be soon.
GLORY!!

You had best get right with The Lord and Repent of your Sinful ways NOW!

1 Thess 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the
wrath to come.
1 Thess 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
1 Thess 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thess 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Cor 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Cor 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Cor 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall
be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Cor 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Oh these people seem very clear about the date of the rapture, my concern is what time, and as one of the unsaved what precautions should I take!

If it happens or, as is more likely, it does not the roads may not be safe, should my employer pay me danger money for the journey home or put me up in a hotel until the danger has passed.

As the cars of those raptured will only be a danger to the Godless and then only for 30 seconds at the most, I think you can just put it down to your disregard for Jesus' offer of Salvation(tm).

Yes, there is a price to pay but it's entirely your fault.

Don't come crying to me at the Gates of Heaven, I'll be there sipping my mint julep and shrugging my shoulders as you're pushed aboard the down elevator.

(Anyway, apart for our Missionaries in the Unsaved Kingdom, I don't think anyone in Britian will be raptured and thus there will be no loose cars around where you are.)

So is it only cars that are going to be a hazard for the unsaved? Are you saying that no truck drivers will be taken? I would imagine that a fully loaded 44 tonne artic' would just keep going if it is a straight stretch of road at the time and thus be a hazard for a lot longer then 30 seconds.

I promise not to do that, as long as you promise not to complain about the stale beer you will be drinking, and the manky strippers I suspect you will be getting in the next life.

(Anyway, apart for our Missionaries in the Unsaved Kingdom, I don't think anyone in Britian will be raptured and thus there will be no loose cars around where you are.)

So what you are saying is that I will have the same problem no mater which one of us is right, dangerous drivers in a rush to get to their destination, who wrongly believe they are going to be taken. I am assuming that your Missionaries will not be on the roads, but in some quiet place contemplating "stuff" while they await the non event.

You have not commented as to whether I should be asking for danger money or a hotel room from my employers (who are based in the Republic of Ireland so you can read into that what you will).

Jo Freddie: Since you are Unsaved Trash, I foresee little opportunity for you to do much beside following these simple steps:

1. Sit down on a stool of some kind

2. Lean well forward placing your head between your legs

3. Keep on leaning further and further

4. When you reach that magic place

5. Kiss you butt goodbye

I think I would stuck in that position for a long time waiting for the non event, so I would much prefer to go home after my extra night shift.

Is it not the rapture on the 21st May and not the end of the world till the 21st October?

I was charitably thinking of the last 30 seconds of your life.

I promise not to do that, as long as you promise not to complain about the stale beer you will be drinking, and the manky strippers I suspect you will be getting in the next life.

So, your "god" too is into eternal damnation?

I think that the Almighty has little care for those who are not His Followers, whether they think they are or not. (see Roman Catholicism)

You have not commented as to whether I should be asking for danger money or a hotel room from my employers (who are based in the Republic of Ireland so you can read into that what you will).

And speaking of Roman Catholicism... I feel you should write to them immediately with your well-thought out plan to get money from them and emphasize that you have rejected God's Offer on your Immortal Soul and will take Damnation in its stride.

I was going to say, "If any of your employers are raptured..." but then, being in Ireland, they'll be papists and be left behind.

I've heard that it might be a sin to get caught on the comode 'mid business' when the rapture occurs. Take precautions on the 21st that doesn't happen to you by preparing on the 20th. with a cleansing.

Have I misunderstood the rapture? is it not when the righteous get taken and the rest of us get left behind until the end of the world (apparently 5 months later)

So, your "god" too is into eternal damnation?

“There will be a kind of HellLight, where unbelievers have to live with school cafeteria spaghetti, second rate beer, and boring jobs in the service industries where the Heavenbound Pastafarians will be living. There will be no privation, no physical torture, no burning or boiling in various liquids. These aren't bad people, these are people that followed the culture and customs of their times and did not recognize the difference between a culture and a faith. And this HellLight will include a just and equitable redemption process.

I don't think even you fall into this category:

The tyrants, the conquerors, the despots, the otherwise greedy and sickeningly unfair; all these will be made to bow down to those whom they harmed. Though they will not boil in eternal torment, there will be no end to their subservience.

There is also this ray of hope for you.

And the Dalai Llama Answered: “If you're a true believer in whatever faith you're a part of, and you've done what's expected of you, then that's the Afterlife you get.The Flying Spaghetti Monster has no territorial disputes with anybody else. If you're not going there, we'll take you, and it may not be fun, but it beats the hell (haha! hell!) outta Lakes of Fire.

I was going to say, "If any of your employers are raptured..." but then, being in Ireland, they'll be papists and be left behind.

Somehow I thought that might be your view of them.

Mr. Fiddle Dee Dee -

It's a shame you can't keep up with the prominent and important threads on this forum.

This discussion of Harold Camping's wingnuttery has been ongoing for over a month.

No True Christian™ would participate in date-setting. Camping is just trying to get people to donate all their worldly possessions to his little cult.

And yes, according to his billboards, the Rapture is May 21, 2011 (this year, not last year) and end of the world October 21, 2011. Of course, he's predicted and been wrong before!

Of course, he's "sure" this time. I can't wait to hear his explanation on May 22!

I'm 100% sure the rapture did not occur on 21 May 2010. If it had, I would be in Heaven right now.

I honestly hope it doesn`t happen on the 21st because my wedding anniversary is on the 22nd and I won`t be able to take my wife out for a romantic dinner. I will keep this in mind though,thanks
