Rapture date: May 21, 2011. Exactly 7000 years from the Flood.

Or the one I saw in Wenatchee the other day:

"In the event of Rapture, may I have your car?"

You were in Wenatchee? Geez, Dude, if you're feeling masochistic, why didn't you just break out the handcuffs and leather like the rest of us?

A friend of the elder sprout's uncle lives there, on a small cherry/peach orchard. I plan to visit them next summer.

HEY! Please see post #31 in this thread!

 

[KoihimeNakamura]

I almost moved to wenatchee!

Anyway.

I should make plans for a new job then...

I almost moved to wenatchee!

But it's worse. You live in Puyallup.

Do you sell cars?

 

[arthwollipot]

That's nothing! I once lived in Foopawallayapsis!

I'd rather live in Didjabringabeeralong.

 

[Madalch]

That's what they think.

Not all of them. I've had a devoutly Mormon friend patiently explain to me that, while they believe in Jesus, they don't consider themselves to be Christians.

 

[arthwollipot]

I'd rather live in Didjabringabeeralong.

Interestingly, the original name of that town was PCified some fifteen years ago. The original name had much more of a ring to it.

It used to be called Didjabringabongalong.

Actual Date of Apocalypse: May 21, 2011, none of this 2012 nonsense!

May 11, 2011

On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping's believers gathered inside Alameda's Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years. Followers dressed children in their Sunday best and held Bibles open-faced toward heaven.

But the world did not end. Camping allowed that he may have made a mathematical error. He spent the next decade running new calculations, as well as overseeing a media company that has grown significantly in size and reach.

Curious, that.

It's the 21st, not the 11th. You'll have to wait a little more.

Off by 17 years. Civil engineer. San Francisco may want to check out any bridges he designed.

 

[stilicho]

Curious, that.

Googled this guy and a lot of the Calvinist/Pentecostal types are furious with him. He's essentially dictated that anyone still belonging to those denominations since his last failed prediction are doomed. His math is presented here-- http://www.writeonnewjersey.com/2010/02/countdown-to-judgment-2/ --for anyone who cares to check:

"[There] are 722,500 days between Jesus’ crucifixion and his return on May 21, 2011. 722,500 is the product of two repeating sets of spiritually significant numbers: 5 x 10 x 17 x 5 x 10 x 17."

So there you have it.

 

[Mister Agenda]

Someone handed me one of the flyers about this when I attended a debate between Herb Silverman and some other guy a few months back. I'll check if I still have it.

Christ’s suffering and death on April 1, 33 A.D.

Yeah, he's already off.

Looks like TAM 8 is the last one ever.

Well I can already see his first problem. He's completely ignored the spiritually significant number of 3 (very notable since that would be the trinity, the only digit used in the year of Jesus' death and the only 2 digits used in his age when he died- not to mention the only digit used for his age when he was 3).

It looks to me like he needs to use three repeating sets of spiritually significant numbers. That should give us a few more years to worry about it.

If this means I miss the London Olympics, I'm in favour.

From the link in the OP:

Along with the entire world and universe, all those who have sinned against God and were left behind will likewise be consumed by this fire and be eternally destroyed:

2 Thessalonians 1:8,9 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

On October 21st, 2011, God will completely destroy this creation and all of the people who never experienced the salvation of Jesus Christ along with it. The awful payment for their sinful rebellion against God will be completed by the loss of everlasting life. On October 21st, 2011, all of these poor people will cease to exist from that point forward.

So the people in, say, the Amazonian jungle who have never heard of Jesus will cease to exist for eternity too? What a loving and merciful God.

It all hinges on 2 Peter 3:6-8

After that it was simply a matter of calculating the day in which the rain started to fall.

. . . . . . . . . . . .
The end-times folks are fascinated with the "1000 years = 1 day" verse, yet seem surprisingly afraid of Matt 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

While I believe Jesus will return sooner than people think, I know the bible says nobody is to try to specify the day or hour. I just hope others will see the urgency in the message even if we cannot know the day or hour. Judgement will surely come!
