3rd time's the charm? Rapture conditionally predicted for November 11th
Our old friends at http://home.flash.net/~evt/rapture.htm have again predicted a date for the Rapture, and this one is conditional.
WARNING:
If an economic collapse occurs on 11/9/2009,
THEN:
The Rapture takes place on 11/11/2009!
I assume that if there's no economic collapse tomorrow, then we'll have to wait until after Wednesday for the Rapture.
I guarantee that many of the people who pooh-pooh these predictions have no problem believing that the Mayans or whatever predicted the end of the world in 2012.

Today's the 9th right? Didn't the Dow set a 2009 record today? Just askin'... ::)
:-)

Whatever. I don't buy either one.

I wonder if they ever considered that perhaps the Mayans were predicting the Rapture in 2012?

Or maybe the Mayans were pulling crap out of their asses like they always did. Remember these are people who practiced human sacrifice (particularly with children).
I think the Mayans died out before they could continue with their calendar beyond (our) 2012.

Too bad it wasn't the DUmmies and the muzzies practicing human sacrifice on themselves today....
The world would be a better place indeed.... :II:

From what I've read of it, the end of the great cycle was roughly the equivalent of Y2K in Mayan culture, some of them thought it was the end of the world, some thought it was the dawn of a new age, and opinion varied all over the map in between...and I'm sure most of them could have cared less since it was far, far in the future for them.
Plus if they were so damned great as futurists, why didn't they foresee and halt their own social collapse, or see how the survivors of that protracted disaster could dodge out on the Conquistadors?

Bible-believing Christians don't believe in date-setting, per our Lord Jesus' own words.

Of course not.
That was why the Book of Revelations was kept separate, and locked, during medieval times. It was feared that some literate from somewhere--this was when 99+% of the general population was illiterate--would read it, and try to decipher it, imagining himself wise enough to understand Divine Wisdom.

Exactly. And people today still try to "read into" the words, when one of the last verses in the Bible explicitly says to not add or take away, and Jesus Himself plainly stated that no one but The Father knows, not even The Son. He said there would be signs and birth pangs, so that we can know the time is near, but time is relative in God's eternal scheme.
