What is the Judgement Day? aka Rapture, apocalypse, second coming, etc

Reverend Camping of Family Radio has revealed exactly what to expect on May 21 Judgement Day.

At 6 p.m. local time, on May 21, 2011, where ever you live, there will be a tremendous earthquake. This earthquake will be like no other. The earthquake alerts the world that The Rapture is starting. The earthquake will be so powerful that it will open the graves and the dead will rise up, and the saved dead will ascend up into heaven with the living that have been saved. Reverend Camping will be viewing the Judgement Day as it’s happening live on TV and listening on the radio. Reverend Camping says it will start in Fiji and New Zealand, and you’ll be able to view it as it’s coming around to you, because this will be big news, of course. It’s a little difficult to understand exactly how we’re going to see it on TV, if the earthquakes will be as abundant as graphic as he states, since the TV stations will surely be out of operation, but we can take his word for it, if we wish.

You no longer need the dirty stuff.

Here is my email address. Please paypal me the remainder of your bank account before you depart to that happy place! You would no longer need any of that filthy earth lucre where you are going. Send me an email about what is going on in rapture land, if you remember.

What kind of space craft do you require in your journey to the extraterrestial Rapture Planet?

Excuse predictions start right here

So when the world didn’t end in 1994 the excuse was: Oops! I forgot ‘Jeremiah’.

The ‘I forgot a book’ excuse has been used. What will be the next one?

When I counted I forgot my thumb?

If the end is near…

Why are they still accepting donations?

They forget the following scripture:

Matthew 24:36

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

So if God didn’t bother to tell Jesus… then why would he tell some crackpot?

My all-time favorite?

The enterprising craigslister who offered post-rapture pet care services to departing Christians. Since, you know, you’re not gonna get to take Fido or Fluffy with you when yer ass gets raptured and somebody’s gotta stay and take care of all the critters. (sounds like a new Animal Planet series in the making, huh?)

Even made the Best Of, one of the very few from Kansas City. Link at sig.

If you plan on being raptured …

… please leave your car and house keys under the doormat. When Jesus calls, proceed in an orderly manner to your assigned heavenly dwelling. Do not look back!

Thank you for your cooperation.
