You're forgetting 1 thing.

God can make it APPEAR as if the rest of the world is still in 1 piece, in each time zone. Then, when 6pm comes around.... WHAM!

Mathematical error. Same as last time. This guy isn't very good at maths.

"Why would a wealthy German Jew like Untermeyer living in America sponsor Scofield and spend money on a man who was working on a new Bible translation and preaching Jesus Christ?" Torell asked.

Jewish leaders long ago recognized the bonanza for them if they could force the teaching of an imminent rapture on Christians and move them to abandon their moral hold on society. Darby was financially supported and Scofield, Darby’s successor, could make this teaching central in all Christian churches. Removal of Christians from politics and public schools would leave the door open for Jewish writers and political leaders to move in and remove the Bible and prayer from public schools and political institutions. The ACLU is a Jewish organization, having only a few Gentiles in it for window dressing, he stated.

In 1907, the International Zionist movement had its "payday" when, after some 120 years they were finally able to have a document produced that would forever change the theology of Christian churches around the world so that, in time, believers in Christ would be transformed into Christian Zionists. Even though they had to "pay good money" to further the cause of fundamentalism, it was worth it to them because the fundamentalists would be led like a bull with a ring in his nose in the direction the Jewish masters wanted them to go.

Forty-one years later, the political state of Israel came into existence. "Without the Scofield Bible, it never would have happened," Torell said.

It is impossible to overstate the influence of Cyrus Scofield on 20th century Christian beliefs. The Scofield Bible is the standard reference work in virtually all Christian ministries and divinity schools. It is singularly responsible for the Christian belief that it is Hebrew Prophecies that describe the pre-Tribulation Second Coming of Jesus, and not, instead, a Zionist vision of a man-made New World Order.

RADIO HOST NOW SAYS JUDGMENT DAY COMING IN OCTOBER

ALAMEDA, Calif. — California preacher Howard Camping says his prophecy that the world would end was off by five months because Judgment Day actually will come on Oct. 21.

The independent Christian radio host said Monday the apocalypse will come five months after May 21, the original date he predicted.

1. Read the Bible, look for loopholes.

2. Assemble appropriate playlist. My suggestions:
--“It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” - REM
--“Knockin on Heaven’s Door” - Bob Dylan
--“I Feel the Earth Move “ - Carole King
--“Waiting For the End of the World” - Elvis Costello
--“Apocalypso” - Jimmy Buffett
--“Dust in the Wind” - Kansas
--“Eve of Destruction” - Barry McGuire
--“Spirit in the Sky” - Norman Greenbaum
--“Robots for Jesus” -Celtic Elvis

3. Take some old clothes, lay out on local fundamentalist’s front porch. Ring doorbell, yell, “Hallelujah!” and run away. (Fill shoes with dry ice and water first for added effect.) For extra points immediately reverse course, stroll casually by as they gawk, and say, “Wow, you got left behind too? Bummer.”

4. Go to local library or book store, move the “Left Behind” series from fiction section to current events shelf.

5. Enjoy a home theater Film Festival:
*“Armageddon”
*“End of Days”
*“2012”
*“Apocalypse Now”
*“When Worlds Collide”

And hey, if it doesn’t pull off, just relax. It’s not the end of the world.
