Ah, but as I write this, it's only 12 noon on the east coast of America, and, as we all know, everything happens according to American time.

One would think that prophecy predictors would base it on Israeli time.

I highly doubt anything will happen today. We still don't know who the Antichrist or the false prophet are. Not to mention all of the plagues haven't happened yet. So, the rapture simply cannot happen yet.




I remember that episode. I forgot that he said that the rapture will happen on the 23rd of September. Interesting. The rapture simply cannot happen yet though as I stated above.
Why do you think it will not happen?

You educatees might want to investigate before you communicate.

David Meade changed his mind.

I take it David Meade is the buffoon who made the prediction in the first place. Who is up next to announce the end of the world I wonder?

Did you guys act like clowns when Y2K didn't materialize?

Y2K wasn't the latest of a long line of failed predictions, which seem to emanate from America, at a rate of at least one every ten years.

At least. :) Most recently there was Y2K, 2012 (Mayan thingy) and several of these more 'minor' predictions. I suppose this kind of thing has been going on for the past 2000 years, or longer.

Suffice to say, every single one of them has been false. :)

I don't know if it has some remote significance but I seriously doubt God would resort to astrological signs as esoteric as this one, since he forbade it in the Old Testament. Sometimes he will use signs in the heavens. like the star of Bethlehem, or even stopping the sun in the sky. Jesus did say their would be signs in the heavens but he was a little unclear as to what they will include. Looking at the second trumpet blast, 'a blazing mountain' and some celestial object called 'wormwood' falling from the sky suggests some kind of celestial objects falling to earth. I wouldn't be surprised if some astronomer might be able to see their approach but that's just idle speculation.

Grace and peace,
Mark

There is a difference between seeing the constellations
as signs and seeing them as fore-tellers of the future.
Astrology is witchcraft. Signs are just signs; something to
get our attention.

Well it's September 23 and not much out of the way is going on in the news, but the day isn't over yet. :)

When Isaac Newton was at Cambridge there was a plague and the London fire, it got so bad they closed Cambridge. That year was 1666, there was some talk at the time that it was the apocalypse. He spent most of that year in his mother's orchard, by the end of the year he had changed his major from law to physics.

Ya ... they came in my house and fixed my toaster, refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, dryer, stove, computer, utility meters, and TV; but forgot my wristwatch, so I had to go buy a Y2K-compliant one.

:doh:

I don't think you can blame the experts of the time for huxters trying to make a buck.

Goal posts will be moved to another date in the future, again and again and again!

So many experts on here regarding Revelation....:doh:
If they were experts or even barely competent, they would know that the woman and the dragon is a mid-tribulation event involving Israel. I get kind of busy but I don't think I would over look the rise of the Antichrist.

Pretty sure it's an early GoT event involving Danaerys.

They can't be one and the same?
Can, sure. But as someone who was working on IT at the time, it was poorly researched newspaper articles and the usual crowd doomsday scam entrepreneurs who were spreading the misinformation.
