Friday Flash 55.....




.



Family Radio founder Harold Camping was
surprisingly mistaken in predicting that Jesus
would return for his followers on May 21, 2011.
Even The Bible says..."But of that day and hour,
no one knows. Not even the Angels in Heaven, nor
The Son, Only the Father." (Mark 13:32).
How does he determine the date of Rapture?


He's got another date...Sometime in August!
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then BOOK!!!
So from the most Ruptured host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!

    Yup! I got one. My first one, and I am suitably nervous for it. I like your post. I always remind myself that no one is supposed to know the "when" too. Mine is here: http://akweelife.blogspot.com/2011/06/55-words-june-9-2011.html

    And thank you.

    I was hoping he was right--I could have used the extra air and space while waiting to fry in the Bad Place after all those people were Raptured away.

    I'm playin--accidentally appropriate to the theme here with a take on one of the Seven Deadly Sins:

    I heard the rapture is delayed until October 21st, but that will all be academic because the apocalypse is June 21. Confused???

    So first he was wrong in 1994 (or was it '93?), And again in May. Now he's sure it's August or October?
    "Believers, save your spot on the rapture and get the word out! Send in all your (tax exempt) money now!"
    Do you know how much tax exempt money he's making off his predictions?
    That man is a genius.

    I think I'll arrange my own rapture and I certainly won't count on his. He, perhaps, needs to get back on his medications.

    Might take me a couple of days to get round everyone this week becase (as you can see) I'm off to enjoy myself on the other side of the country. (Which isn't as far here as it would be in the US!)

    Well it's all going to end next year [2012] or we will all be sucked into a black hole created by the Hadron Collider, so none of it really matters anyway.

    OK, maybe he's just confusing the date of rapture with the date of birthday celebrations in my family? First my birthday, now August (my little one's due to turn 4 at the end of that month)...

    I have another musical 55, G (don't worry, more than half way through the month now, so it's *almost* over!). Mine is here.

    We many not know when it will be, but it's pretty certain when it won't be, and that's when someone predicts it.
