Rapture fans “excited” about Lebanon

It’s not only the neocons who are happy about the carnage in Lebanon. The extremist fringe of the American Christian right, which believes conflict in the Middle East heralds the End Times and prepares something called Rapture (essentially the spiriting away of real Christians before the anti-Christ makes a mess of the world), is really excited by what’s happening in Lebanon. Harpers quotes from a Rapture chat room:

Praise God! We are chosen to be in these times and also watch and spread the word. Something inside me is exploding to get out, and I don’t know what it is. Its kind of like I want to do cartwheels around the neighborhood.

In another thread, someone brought up the fact that the kidnapping of the first Israeli soldier that started this whole thing was on June 25th and if you count from that day to August 3rd…….it is *EXACTLY 40 days!!!!!*

I find that to be a HUGE coincidence.

A question just popped in my head. Do you think children of around say 7 or 8 (but before the age of accountability) that have been indoctrinated up until that time by their parents religious beliefs will be raptured? . . . For example, would a 7 year old muslim be raptured? I know G-d will do right but I was just wondering everyone’s thoughts. I hate to think of kids being left here.

Got that dancing feeling on the inside of me.

This is the busiest I’ve ever seen this website in a few years! I have been having rapture dreams and I can’t believe that this is really it! We are on the edge of eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just so you know what kind of people are saying this, the series of novels about Rapture have been the best-selling books in America for years.

Note to any aliens reading this: please abduct me from this sick planet.

  1. Ehh, the Rapture Index is at a high for this year but no big changes from the last few years (currently 157).

    Supermarket tabloids saw the End Times coming a couple of weeks ago, though – between the new tsunami in Indonesia, Lebanon war and Bombay train bombings, they’re in business.

    The boards are hopping but not as predictable as one might think..

  2. I’m not surprised. I think there is a confluence of reasons behind the support (tacit and otherwise) of Israels’s incursion into Lebanon and none of those reasons are particularly good.

  3. As a christian a sign of end time events (not saying they are)means that Jesus Christ is coming soon and an eternity with God in heaven. That is what makes christians happy, not the suffering and killings that are ongoing in all parts of the world.

  4. you can have it now! it overheats every 5 metres and guzzles petrol like there’s no tomorrow…… (1 all ehy?!)

  5. There will not be a rapture gods kingdom will be here on earth, don’t worry if you are saved you have nothing to worry about.
