It's 21st here already. No rapture in sight. Which is good, I get to finish LA Noire before I get cast down to hell.
Well, actually The Rapture means that the faithful get taken up to heaven before a lot of the stuff from "The Book Of Revelations" happens, which is pretty much your last chance to repent. It's pretty much God and The Devil have their final battle and you get to be in the crossfire, the four horsemen of the apocolypse go charging around, all that stuff. Odds are if you weren't chosen you wouldn't notice anything until at least the 22nd anyway, the end of it transpires in like October by this theory, and that's when if your still consuming oxygen and haven't been saved you get cast down, or perhaps if meek get to inherit the earth which is one of those things I don't quite "get" of course given what's liable to be left of it probably won't be fun to live on.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, I'm just saying you should at least understand the dogma beore dismissing it. Really, to be absolutly sure, you'd pretty much have to be sitting here in five months on the 21st. Right now now when the 21st for Jerusalum passes all you can really say with authority if your still here is that you aren't saved, and were't around anyone that was. Given that this accounts for a very tiny portion of people probably, that may or may not mean much with this still being potentially accurate.
Now, I'm not a deeply spiritual Christian, and I don't quite buy this date, I believe by some beliefs when The Rapture happens your supposed to hear Gabriel's Horn, and Michael's Sword is going to shear the stars from the sky, though I could be wrong about that. That's potentially a sign someone who isn't saved can see to let them know what happened.
Your probably right that nothing will happen of course, especially seeing as no man is supposed to know the date (only god), but at least have the respect to hold off on the levity about a failure until you know... the prophecy has actually failed.
