Is this the weekend of the Rapture?
Well, if it is, those of us not lucky enough to be transported will be able to watch it on TV, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education:
Harold Camping, the 89-year-old civil engineer who has reported on his Family Radio network that humankind faces its judgment day tomorrow, says he plans to be watching the spectacle of the rapture on television.
In an interview on the online news program TYT Now, he tells the host, Tina Dupuy, that the rapture will actually begin about 6 p.m. local time, which is to say that it will start on the International Dateline and roll across the planet. By our calculations, that means we should begin hearing reports of devastation and ascensions shortly after midnight EDT tonight.
The idea of the rapture as an aerial event is based on 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which says that Christ will return to collect believers and carry them to Heaven: ”Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
