The rapture! It’s big news this week. Thanks to the publicity of Harold Camping and his followers, everybody’s talking! But, will it really happen this Saturday? I have to admit, I know very little about Harold Camping other than the bits and pieces I’ve gotten from various news sources, but, from what I’ve read, I’d say his reasoning is more than a bit skewed. The bible says in Mark 13:32,33: But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. But, does that mean he’s wrong? Those of us who have been watching for the rapture know the time is very close. The signs are all there. Everything is in place. So, by virtue of this fact alone, Camping could be right.
But, what if, by the grace of God I'm not one of the chosen believers to be wisked up into the clouds? I can't imagine living, if that's what you want to call it, in a living Hell forever. I think I'll just continue to ready myself spiritually just in case. This subject has given me an opportunity to talk to my two grown children, although I think one thinks of me as a crazy woman and was absolutely mortified that I even brought this up. The other child was more open for discussion... not an easy task.
Yesterday, John Tng published an article on Five Doves which has caused a great deal of excitement. After reading it, I got excited too! I really think John has made some amazing discoveries regarding the possible timing of the rapture. May 24 to be exact. If you have not read his post yet, please take the time to do so, I think he makes some compelling arguments for the strong possibility of an imminent event.
