People are claiming the rapture takes place a week from Saturday. Our friends in New Zealand are first, followed by everyone in every time zone starting a 6 AM. They are getting rid of all their things because what use will it be after next Saturday.

    Are they Americans? Just a wild guess without opening the link.

    Naughty me, thinking they'd likely be American. I was being cynical, prejudicial and quick to judge. And accurate.

    Hmm, I wonder if he used the Julian, Gregorian or Hebrew calendar in his calculations and also how he accounted for the mode of Abib adjustments in the Hebrew lunar year. Hebrew leap years involve the insertion of an extra (13th) month every Abib year depending on the barley harvest. Not a day as in a solar calendar.

    There is going to be a lot of weeping and wailing next Saturday when all those who have spent their last dollar and given up their jobs are jarred back into reality.

    Well these people (Who use the King James bible, so both Americans and English people are idiots so lets stop this) also believe in creationism and the flood. The flood is an old pagan story and most likely didn't happen and the world was not created in 7 days. So odds are we have nothing to worry about. Odds are this is just a giant cult trying to get people to visit their website or to buy their products or listen to their radio show.

    Edit: They are safe, because it is taking place in December and we won't be around then.

    These people usually are Americans as Sharp deduced correctly. However I don’t think anybody is suggesting that it’s because Americans or anyone else are stupid. The reason is simply because of the culture. Some right wing conservative Christianity in the US is associated with the so called “prosperity gospel,” legalistic tithing and such. This generates huge amounts of cash that fires such propagation of these ideas. It is certainly not limited to the US but it thrives in the US due to the freedom of speech guaranties for religious broadcasters.

    TBN is one such broadcaster that propagates this financial philosophy. The UK prohibits the appeal for money aspect by law for religious broadcasters. Thus TBN uplink the English (UK) broadcast via Spain to avoid legislation. Also we have our own homespun version of such broadcasting, but guess what; they also moved their uplink from the UK to another country and also set up a large office in the US. Now they appeal for money even more so than their American counterparts.

    Yes there are many Christians in the UK that use the King James Version Bible, but until recent years few of them were associated with such extreme philosophies, the King James Version is not the problem; the prosperity gospel is the problem. Now the prosperity gospel is spreading everyware. Why? Simply because it generates enormous amounts of cash at the expense of vulnerable people.

    Like I said, lets try to not make this politically or nationally related at all. We all must get along, because doomsday is in 9 days, and if we don't survive the rapture, then there will be issues....
