Revelation 13:1-10
And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast;read more.
they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. If anyone has an ear, let him hear. If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints.

They must have been on some serious psychedelics when they wrote that one.

Erin Paterson in Aust. has some mushrooms you can have.
 
For a change, some of the rapture evangelizers have admitted they were wrong. Of course, the main guy, Pastor Joshua Mhlakela, behind this rapture round has not apologized nor said anything since the date has passed.

www.cbs42.com

Pastors apologize for false rapture prediction that sent social media into frenzy

People all over the world began preparing for the rapture and the end of the world after a pastor predicted it would happen by Sept. 24. Now, some faith leaders are apologizing.
www.cbs42.com
 
They should keep up the predictions, simply as a contribution to world humor. No reason at all they can't predict the Rapture for next week, or February, or Arbor Day 2027. And for Chrissake, let's at least once have a Rapture predicted for April 1. (That will convincingly show us how many believers are too dumb to cut their own food.)
Realistically, in about 5 to 7 years we'll be in a Rapture fever with these Christians, because, as google will tell you, a majority of scholars think JC was crucified in either 30 or 33 CE, with 33 edging out 30. So, just imagine the boost our Christian pals will get when we're coming up on the 2000th anniversary. Guarantee you we'll see Rapture revivals, TV preachers babbling in tongues, a God Bless America Meet Ya in the Sky Bible from Trump, all kinds of books, DVDs, T shirts, coffee mugs, and a million other categories of bullshit merch. And no sheepish looks when 2034 rolls around & no one's been raptured, and they still have their cable bill to pay. Rapture hangover for them, comic gold for us heathens.

I'm sure he's praying for guidance and clarity.
 
The rapture happened, we just did not notice. That’s because the South African pastor is the only who made it. That’s why no one has heard from him. He is in Jesus’s loving arms now. :love-struck:
 
If there really are only 144,000 saved as some Scriptures seem to state, out of all the 120 billion or so people who've been born since Christ's ascension the odds of knowing anyone in particular who got Raptured would be pretty low.
 
I like the much nicer view of the relating scriptures:

If we were to see them as 'co-managing'. That is 144,000 managing advisers (if you will) who would also be ruling with Christ the rest of us...
..."a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb".
 
I am enraptured every time I wake up and have my scrambled eggs, garlic, rice, beans and tomato sauce breakfast.

Heavenly.

I am enraptured every time I have a fresh cup of coffee.

I was enraptured every time I had sex.

Jesus, not so much. Doesn't do a thing for me.

When I was in Portland in the 80s a preacher in southern Oregon convinced his flock the rapture was about to happen. They ere all sitting out in field waiting.

Why would an omnipotent absolute monarch need "advisors"? Advising him on what? Seems a bit out of character for the Jesus of the Christian gospels at any rate, he mocked anyone who presumed to suggest a different course of action to him, even his closest friends.

Ha Ha! And according to 1.4 billion Christians, God has an army of saints helping him (I guess, or getting in the way). There are currently over 10,000 saints in the Catholic Church. And you can pray to any of 'em, right? With that many saints, I can only envision that most of them are there to grovel in front of God's throne, like those awful Trump cabinet meetings where his cabinet members lavish him with the most fatuous and asslicking praise, showing that they have no self-respect and that Trump is truly deranged, as he sits and laps it up. God must have praise sessions with his posse; they just won't be quite as nutso as Trump's.

Heaven, Executive Suite/Praise Session with Minor Saints
0900 hours

Karoline Leavitt: O God and Creator, I now present the minor saints for your exaltation. (to saints) When you address God, please speak clearly into the mic and keep your remarks brief. No one has to tell God that he is mighty and merciful, he knows it. Try to say something original. Okay, first saint.
St. Ursula: Good morning, thank you for having me. I want to say that is an honor to work for you, and you are truly bringing a golden age to earth.
God: Which one is this?
Karoline Leavitt: Saint Ursula, patroness of school girls.
God: Okay, enough of her. Next.
St. Deicolus: Hello, and thank you for inviting me. You are a true champion for believers, and I would like to see your big beautiful face on a banner, to be hung just about anywhere.
God: Okay, which one are you?
St. Deicolus: I am Deicolus, originally of Leinster, and latterly of Luxeuil.
God: "Leinster, latterly of Luxeuil"???? Too many l's, no one can understand you. And as for this idea of my face on a banner, you do know that no one can look at my face and live, right? So, does that sound like a bright idea to you? (exit Deicolus, downcast) Next one.
St. Paschasius: Your Holiness, I am Saint Paschasius Radbertus, and --
God: You are who?
St. Paschasius: Saint Paschasius Radbdertus.
God: Okay, no one wants to put up with that. Move along. I'll have the angels doing bits about you. "Paschasius". Good Lord. Who is next?
Karoline Leavitt: Our last minor saint is Hemma of Gurk.
God: "Hemma?" With an H? Of "Gurk"? There really is such a thing?
Karoline Leavitt: She even has a wikipedia page, O God.
God: Okay. Let's hear from Hemma.
Hemma of Gurk: O God and Creator and Protector, I want you to have the Nobel Prize for stopping 700 wars.
God: And where would I put such a prize? I don't have a den, and I'm sharing everything with my son and the ghost. Also, you realize that I never stopped any wars, right? Started a bunch of 'em. Stopped any? No. Okay, off you go.
Karoline Leavitt: Please exit in an orderly fashion. Remember that anything you heard in this room is privileged, and you are not to disclose any word of it. Okay, like he said, off you go. Go, go, go. Begone.

You kidding? Of course they’re as nutso as Trump’s! He’s fucking GOD!! They’re infinitely nutsoer than Trump’s.
You think he doesn’t have nutso that makes Trump’s look sane? Then YOU are nutso!
 
God -- who knows he is God -- would accept bootlicking, shameless praise as acknowledgement of his godhood. That's sanity and accurate self-appraisal.
Trump -- who only thinks he is a god -- is living with his head permanently in Nutsoland. Or up his orange ass. You decide.
No comparison.
One is a powerful being who inspires devout admiration and awe in his followers, who wouldn't think twice about rubbing out those who don't worship him. The other is God.

Don’t care what you say.
Nobody does nutso like god.
There was never anything so nutso.

Interesting how some people take ancient poetry, hyperbole, and metaphor as literal fact.

Maybe 3000 years from now there will be debate over whether or not there was an historical Captain Kirk or Luke Sky walker or Frodo.

Yeah, there are people who think a woman turned into salt because she turned her head...and a man caught 300 foxes, tied their tails together, and set them on fire...and some other guy spent 72 hours inside a fish...and another guy, by raising his hand, caused his army to win a battle, and by lowering his hand, caused the other side to win..and another guy sent demons into a herd of 2000 pigs, which all committed pig suicide.
It's all context, but in some contexts, this stuff would make you non compos mentis. They wouldn't let you drive or live by yourself.
