There is something wrong here, as six is the number of beers in a six pack, and that is a matter of perfection.![]()

No! Nay! Never!Yes, but I regret to report that he dropped in at an alehouse I used to frequent. He asked the landlady for credit, and she answered him nay,

You won't see me playing the Wild Rover ...No! Nay! Never!![]()

It has never been my practice to comment on some one else’s thread—but this being a Biblical concept; perhaps I can be tolerated.
The Rapture as presented is to take the faithful out of this world before the great tribulation. So Jesus will come and take his Church out of this world---but that is not what Jesus said----what he stated regardless of what people think; his word is final
John 17:15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the Evil one.
According to the Scriptures the Evil one is in control of the world now.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the Evil one.
So why take the Church out when the Evil one is in control –surely that is running away—not staying to fight—sort of cowardly.
The next event to take place is the coming of the son of man; who is not Jesus.
Similar to John the Baptist—to prepare the coming of Jesus.
Scripture from NIV.
Fixed it for youGood God! Family Radio!? These clowns were convinced that the Rapture would take place in 2000! They keep trying to hit a day when Jesus will return, and they have NEVER gotten it right! Hell, the folks who ran Family Radio here in Sacramento were promoting the 2000 rapture right up to the day when it was supposed to have happened! (Of course, they never sold off their homes or cars, or did anything even remotely suggestive that they mightbe rightactually believe it!)

So that means even you are under the control of the evil one. Which makes your interpretation a distillation of evil itself.
I figured that an opening post with only three sentences would be clear enough that nobody could miss the point. And yet someone did.
Here is the point ------> Matt 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
Date setting is beyond useless.
ETA: the second point was that there was no Flood so picking a date 7000 years after the date of a fictional event cannot produce reliable data.

Something good actually came out of this Rapture BS. Today I got a telemarketing call from one of those people who just wouldn't give up. Instead of hanging up, I told them, "I have no need for your product since the world is ending in three weeks on May 21st." There was a nearly audible pause on the other end, and finally a cautious, "Um... what is that?"
"The world is ending in about three weeks, you sinner, and I think you probably have better things to do with your last days on earth than spend it trying to sell me window insulation!" I said in my best evangelical voice.
"Um... okay. Thanks."
I wonder if that got a bunch of jokes from the phone room people at their next break.
