Kevin Marshall's America
Fellow blogger (and all-around good guy, seriously) Reverend Alan Rudnick was interviewed by WTEN for their piece on the Rapture:
His point is that the math being used to justify the Rapture is wholly fictitious, and that the Bible was not written as a complex mathematical formula. On this point, the Reverend and I will have to agree to disagree.
The Old Testament has 39 books, while the New Testament has 27 books. This makes a total of 66 books. That means the Old Testament accounts for 59% of the Christian Bible. In the King James version of the Bible, The Book of Revelations is placed as the final book in the New Testament and has 22 chapters.
27 (number of books in the New Testament) – 22 (number of chapters in Revelations) = 5
May is the 5th month of the year.
To determine the exact day of the month of Judgment Day is a lot easier: Judges, in the Old Testament, has 21 chapters.
May 21st
The total number of verses in the Bible = 31,102. That number, reversed, is 20,113

It’s science, Alan.

STALK ME
I don’t know what’s worse, the amount of money Harold Camping’s been throwing around to spread this message, or the fact that people actually PAID him that kind of money!
You got me! I’ve been proven a fraud!
You’ve convinced me. In case I’m raptured by some sort of angelic clerical error: Peace out, y’all!
I was told there would be no math on this test….
Wait a minute, this whole rapture thing that is supposed to happen tomorrow is based on faulty logic????
Gee, what a revelation.
dang it , i thought i had until 6pm, now its 3pm, wtf kevin..
I did terrible in math… maybe I wont’ be included.
3:00 ?????????
In that case, I’ve got some cheap ZZ Top tickets to sell.
yeah, on Kristi’s blog it says 6. What gives ??
Michelle - It’s not an exact science. But take my word for it. I’m the expert here, clearly, since I’ve been blogging so much about it.
There’s an obvious mistake in your calculations. They use the King James Bible, which means that 3pm is going to be in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). That means that our local time will be 11am EDT.
The more I hear people talking about this, the easier it is for me to believe…
It isn’t a one-day ordeal, though. I’m not certain of the chain of events, but the whole thing supposedly isn’t going to be finished until late Oct.
In the video, I love how Elisa Streeter throws it to reporter Amy Cutler ‘in Albany,’ when from the looks of it, Amy is standing outside the TV studio next to the satellite dishes. In the rain.
Reason #10,000 why I never wanted to be a reporter.
ok. it is now 4 pm. are we all safe? you know, in the old days, 19th century, there was a belief system called millenialism. people who believed that the end was near, declared dates, yadda, yadda. folks,it just aint for us to know what is in the mind of any deity. so sit back, and crank the stereo, and put some food on the baaahrbee. enjoy eating something fattening.
