Some yahoo, Harold Camping to be precise (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_end_times_prediction) predicted the start of the rapture taking place today. Those who are believers were to be Raptured today with the end of the world happening in October. I guess we are all screwed. Well, for anyone who didn't die today.
Definition of RAPTURE
1 an expression or manifestation of ecstasy or passion
2 a state or experience of being carried away by overwhelming emotion b : a mystical experience in which the spirit is exalted to a knowledge of divine things
3 often capitalized : the final assumption of Christians into heaven during the end-time according to Christian theology
Harold was referring to number 3 in the above definition. But, this whole idea of rapture had me thinking. You know, if God really wanted to make an impact the idea of taking believing peeps "up" with him really isn't going to accomplish anything. If Rapture became a reality someone of us would be glad to go. Some would be glad to stay. Some would be sad about those that went. Some would be glad about who went. And people would just be people.
But, imagine that instead of peeps, God raptured ALL our stuff? Yeah, yeah just imagine you are reading this blog and poof...you are now sitting naked on the earth with nothing. NOTHING. What if God raptured all our stuff and we were left with each other and the Earth. Only.
No looting.
Nothing to loot.
Just sit for a moment with that.
If all any of us had was our nakedness and the Earth.....and each other.
Yeah, who am I kidding it would be one massive bitch fest.
And I'd probably be bitching the loudest.
But, that would make an impact.
