At the Second Church of Odyssey you'll find different ways of expressing your beliefs, finding prayer support or being encouraged through regular devotionals.
Yes, but there's a lot of reasoning that's different if you take the Rapture later, too. What I mean And...if it happens after the Tribulation, won't we be able to time it? I mean, we know it lasts seven years...so it'd have to be in 3 and a half years or seven. And that wouldn't line up with what the Bible says. Plus, there's no mention to the church after the judgments begin...just a thought.

According to Mr. Camping, the people not raptured will be left behind for five months, at which time the world will be destroyed.
So, May 21 - The Rapture, Oct 21 - End of the world.
Though I’m unclear if his predicted end of the world is Armageddon or simply God destroying the world because the end has come.
Tom: HEY, MAN, LOOK AT THIS! IT SAYS WE WON'T SLEEP BUT WE'LL All BE CHANGED!!!
George: Woah, dude, lol, now I KNOW there's a pre-Trib Rapture!
....that doesn't work. That's really all I'm saying.
I took a class on Revelation, and I remember that I came away believing that pre-Trib wasn't correct. I'm not sure why, but that's what I came away with. I dunno. Random thoughts.

Yes, there could be.

Marvin D. wrote:Umm...where does he get that from?
I don’t know where he got the length, but here’s his timeline:
What will take place on May 21?
On May 21, 2011 two events will occur. These events could not be more opposite in nature, the one more wonderful than can be imagined; the other more horrific than can be imagined.
A great earthquake will occur the Bible describes it as "such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." This earthquake will be so powerful it will throw open all graves. The remains of the all the believers who have ever lived will be instantly transformed into glorified spiritual bodies to be forever with God.
On the other hand the bodies of all unsaved people will be thrown out upon the ground to be shamed.
The inhabitants who survive this terrible earthquake will exist in a world of horror and chaos beyond description. Each day people will die until October 21, 2011 when God will completely destroy this earth and its surviving inhabitants.
So it isn’t Armageddon after all, just destruction.
Because it wouldn’t do any good. I heard an interview with this guy, he’s not even willing to consider that he’s wrong. I mean in his mind there is NO way.
Hmm, I just read that his organization or whatever receives millions in donations, and he and some other guy are the only ones who know where the money goes. It could just be one huge scam. Although, if you're gonna run a scam, I'd recommend something a bit more....sane-sounding.
I just found this hilarious web site -a group of atheists who, for $135, will promise to look after your pets after the rapture! How entrepreneurial to make a profit off of this madness!

I'd like to hear where he fits the Antichrist and all the other "Tribulation" judgments into his time table. I assume he believes they haven't happened yet, so I wonder if he thinks they'll occur between May 21 and October 21.
P.S. @ Marvin: I finally figured out why it is you're so bent on proving that the Rapture and Tribulation will occur. I remembered that you are a big fan of the Left Behind books. Keep in mind that I've read all of them too. I really liked them as fiction novels, but I'm not very convinced that Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye have it right about the end of time. It seems like a very interesting and convincing way that it might all transpire, but there just doesn't seem to be all that much Biblical evidence behind it.

I don't base my faith on books, to be honest Because I definitely don't agree with everything in there, that's for sure. I always believed that way *before* I read those books though
And..that website is weird. But hilarious.
