Rapture on May 21, 2011?

Ok, I just read that the “campers” in Harold Camping’s “camp” of “Family Radio” fame somehow believe that the Rapture is going to take place on May 21, 2011.

Need I remind anyone that Harold Camping wrongly predicted the “rapture” in 1994?  And again in 2001?

Sign up for the Facebook Non-Event.

Wrong in 1994, Wrong in 2001, and Wrong in 2011:
I guess Harold himself provides the evidence that the rapture did NOT take place on those dates (and the rest of us missed it), because HAROLD is still here, cranking out ridiculous claims.

 

And why, pray tell, will the “rapture” occur on May 21 (!! In just 35 days!  :-0 )

 

Why, Genesis 7:4, of course!  How could you miss that?

 

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. (Genesis 7:4 KJV)

 

Here’s the logic, as I can make out:

 

(A)  A day is like a thousand years (2 Peter 3:8).
(B)  Find any verse with the word “day” in it.  Just pick one.
(C)  How about Genesis 7:4??  Looks good!
(D)  Therefore, it is PROVEN that seven days EQUALS 7,000 years.
(E)  Calculate 7,000 years after the flood and you arrive at May 21, 2011!!!   Alarm! Alarm! (using the rabbinic Hebrew calendar of course, rather than other more accurate calendars.  Oh, and verse 11, too).

 

With stellar logic like this, who needs a circus?

 

One thing I would like to ask is, if 7 days equals 7,000 years in Genesis 7:4, then why not 40 days equals 40,000 years?

 

So, therefore we would count 7,000 years after the Flood and it is supposed to rain for 40,000 years.  What?  Are you “Campers” telling me my reasoning is faulty?  Why?  The “Bible” proves that it will rain for forty thousand years!!

 

With Bible interpreters like these, who needs enemies?

 

Don’t get me wrong, of course Yeshua the Messiah is coming back.  I tend to believe he comes back at the LAST trump as it is precisely written in 1 Corinthians 15:51, not any other of the seven trumpets.  There’s a handy chart at http://www.bcbsr.com/survey/rev7t.html.

So get your “camping” gear and head on over to Facebook to register for the Non-Event.

Secret Rapture?

3 Replies

Why did the world have to wait until the year 1830 to ever hear of the idea of the “secret rapture?”

How come Jesus didn’t return before the Chinese believers suffered persecution?

Could so many “Left Behind” books be wrong?

If these questions are enough to get you started, then you are ready to start re-examining the secret rapture theory for yourself. It may change the way you choose to live your life.

I’ve enclosed some links to get you started:

Taking the above articles into consideration, esp. concerning Lacunza, I really recommend prayerfully reading Duncan McDougall’s “Rapture of the Saints.” He certainly offers enough evidence to make you doubt this beloved doctrine for good:

On another note, while I don’t necessarily agree with Tim McHyde‘s articles on the rapture, I do find that his take on other prophetic subjects such as the return of Yeshua (Jesus) to be quite helpful in finding the way to truth.

Now, if you’re going to start doing some Bible doctrine research into the End Times, it’s crucial for you to own a decent New Testament. My study in the New Testament has improved a hundredfold since getting this Bible. I like it so much I became a distributor. Pick up your copy at my site, JTOD.org:

And while you’re at it, some copies of my praise music CD’s can always be a help as well:
Yerubilee CD’s Direct from Israel

CD’s may be combined with Bible orders here:

“But concerning the times and seasons, my Brothers, you need not that I write unto you: for you know assuredly, that the day of our Master (Y’shua) so comes as a thief by night…. But you, my Brothers, are not in darkness; that day should not overtake you as a thief. For you are all children of the light and children of the day; and are not children of the night and children of darkness.” (1 Thess 5:1-2,4-5 AENT)

Thanks, and many blessings to you in the name of Yeshua our Messiah.

For those interested in a study Bible, we do carry the AENT over at JTOD.org.
