Anyone been raptured yet?

It's already past 6pm in New Zealand.  According to the prediction, the rapture was supposed to sweep across the time zones hitting each one at 6pm.  I'd say this was a bust.  Oh well.  I was looking forward to not having to cook and clean the house and go to work.

Re: Anyone been raptured yet?

  • Guess that means I should drag the vacuum out and get started...

  • Still alive....should definitely clean the bathrooms this weekend, it's been FAR too long! But tonight, going with a friend to Red Robin for burgers and seeing Bridesmaids.
  • Still here.  I really have the urge to run around putting clothes in funny positions all over the place to make it look like people disappeared, though. :-)

     

    I'm a little surprised I haven't heard more commotion about this today.  I'm in Orlando for a conference, and the last I heard/saw on the news, the crazies were here trying to get everyone on board with the rapture stuff.  Maybe they got sidetracked by Disney. :-)

  • Actually, I got curious and went to look at details about why this guy thought today was the day.  Here's what I found... does this even make sense to anyone?  Why those words, and what the crap does squaring the sum have to do with anything at all?!  What a whackadoo...

     

    Harold Camping has warned that the Rapture would come on May 21st 2011 for years, and end nears, many are left questioning if his Prophecy is fake.  The Bible has taught Christians to always be ready for the Second Coming of Jesus at any time, sparking Judgement Day predictions throughout history.  Even Harold Camping had a previous prediction of the Return of Jesus for the Rapture that was incorrect due to a mathematical error ? when his September 1994 date came and went without incident.  What makes him so sure that this year, this date of May 21 2011, will in fact be the date of the Rapture?

    1. The number 5 equals ?atonement?, the number 10 equals ?completeness?, and the number 17 equals ?heaven?.
    2. Christ hung on the cross on April 1, 33 AD. The time between April 1, 33 AD and April 1, 2011 is 1,978 years.
    3. If 1,978 is multiplied by 365.2422 days (the number of days in a solar year), the result is 722,449.
    4. The time between April 1 and May 21 is 51 days.
    5. 51 + 722,449 = 722,500.
    6. (5 ? 10 ? 17)2 or (atonement ? completeness ? heaven)2 also equals 722,500.

    Thus, Camping concludes that 5 ? 10 ? 17 is telling us a ?story from the time Christ made payment for our sins until we?re completely saved.?

  • It's now 6:25 here. Guess that means I too will have to tend to the toliets and floors.

    Sunshine that does not make a lick of sense to me....

  • It's officially Sunday for me and I'm definetely still here. Hopefully I'll be able to get most of the rest of my garden planted and groceries shopped for since there's no food in the house yet again sometime in the next 24 hours. Glad to see I'm not the only september nestie left though. ;)

  • High Five everyone!! We're all rapture survivors!!!

    Looking at Sunshine's post I'm thinking the next time we need to worry is 5/10/17. We've got some time.

     

     

    PS- I love the idea of arranging clothes on the ground to make it look like people disappeared. Genius!

    This makes no sense.  What if you changed the order of all of these then what date would he come up with?

    It really pisses me off that this guy stirred up all this sh!t about it and had people freaking out about it.  I can't imagine how many people committed suicide or killed their families (to spare them) because of this.
