Well, it looks like the preacher has revised his "rapture date" by saying that the world is now under "Christ's judgement" and will last until Oct 21, when the globe will be destroyed. He further states there is no reason to warn people, since judgement has already been passed on the world.

Hmm. A friend of mine from Argentina gave me a new Bible this morning (Reina Valera, 2000). I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but it will probably say the same thing my NVI says, but maybe in different words. I don't remember reading anything like this in that Bible.

Oh well. I intended to ice skate at Rockefeller Plaza for my 60th birthday, but that appears to be in question.

Well, I was happily left behind as I wasn't taken in mad tongue wink smile LOL grin

As I said in my previous response Jesus has made it clear that no-one knows when the father has chosen to send Jesus back for the second coming! I just plan to be ready when he actually returns. wink

And what's so special about the day 21?

Solstices and equinoxes occur around the 21st, so the day is popular in astrology and other forms of prophesy. May 21 is the beginning of Gemini and Oct. 21 is the beginning of Scorpio. Perhaps he saw the twins as representing the duality of Jesus as a man and the son of God, and the scorpion as a deadly attack.

Overall, it is difficult to assign logical reasons to something that is fundamentaly illogical.

Hmm, 21 is my favorite number, I was born on the 21'st, if I add up all of the letters in my name it adds up to 21..but that is just a fluke :) - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011
The Twins is t he sign of Gemini not Scorpio :) - FELIZ77, May 24, 2011
Which is what I said about May 21st. - lorenzo9, May 24, 2011
Okay maybe I read it wrong.... sorry Lorenzo :) - FELIZ77, May 25, 2011

That's what my Bible says, too. I expect my new Bible will say the same thing. :) - 0066c384, May 24, 2011
False prophets. :) - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011
And this man is claiming to know the mind of God, which in my book, is a pretty big offense. - Azabache, May 24, 2011
I agree, he just wants publicity. - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011
I think he has gone the wrong way about it though ;-) - Destroyed99, May 24, 2011
Johanne, you are correct about it being a false prophecy Anyone who makes a prophecy that flies in the face of scripture only leaves themselves open to ridicule when God has the last word - FELIZ77, May 24, 2011
I heard that this preacher was also asking for money. Why if the world is going to be destroyed? - Jraider, May 24, 2011

Can you pray and wait until Oct 21? I can't be good that long. :) - 0066c384, May 24, 2011
You needn't worry; if a (wo)man says when the Rapture is, you know it is false. Only God knows when this will be. - Azabache, May 24, 2011
@Dogwood: well that's going to be really hard! but hopefuly I'll try! :P - 00b6f46c, May 24, 2011
@Azabache: I know that but i just feel bad about hearing things like that! - 00b6f46c, May 24, 2011

I just don't understand why this man is continuing this charade... He already predicted the Rapture once, in the '80s (I believe this is the same guy), was wrong, predicted again on May 21, was wrong again, and is now spewing out more nonsense?

The world is now under "Christ's Judgement", and will last until Oct. 21? He's just making this up as he goes along... And what's so special about the day 21?

From my understanding of what I heard about the man and his predictions, May 21st was the rapture date and October 21st was the "judgement day" (end of the world).

So, it sounds like nothing has changed there. I guess he is still claiming the Oct 21 destruction date.

No, there was a change and there will be another one in a few months. He's slightly less believeable than John Titor. - lorenzo9, May 24, 2011
I am surprised he still has any followers. - danrivera, May 24, 2011
