Good things about missing the Rapture:

For the purposes of this post, “Rapture” refers to the mysterious disappearing of countless numbers of peoples all over the world. If you’re a Bible believing Christian this is part of the tribulation that is prophesied in Revelation (and other parts of the Bible). I happen to be a person who believes that believers will be raptured PRIOR to the tribulation – making me a “Pre-Trib” believer.

 

Matthew 24:36 (New International Version)

 

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

 

 

 

For those of you that have been told that the world will end on Saturday, May 21, 2011; I’d like you to read the verse above and realize that NO ONE knows when the end will come. Not me, not that guy who’s “done the math” and not the man on the street with the picket sign proclaiming the end of the world.

 

However, in the spirit of fun, and because I’ve got a sense of humor, I thought I’d put together a list of good things about “missing the rapture”:

• You don’t have to worry about your house being in foreclosure anymore.
• Your car tabs will never have to be renewed again.
• Alimony and child-support payments won’t need to be paid.
• Banks won’t have overdraft fees because no one will have any money. Come to think of it, there probably won’t be many banks that are functioning.
• You really can have your neighbor’s house, car, yard, boat and big-screen TV.
• Getting to work may be a challenge due to the earthquake and lack of electricity, but you probably won’t have much traffic to deal with.
• You can have your burger anyway you want.
• Those annoying tele-evangelists on TV will be off the air.
• You can use up all the emergencies supplies you’ve been saving.
• You can find out how long Twinkies REALLY are good for.
• You can nap when you want, where you want and not have to worry about the guy next door mowing his lawn or chain-sawing his trees.
• The church around the corner will stop hounding you with pamphlets and invitations to their Easter services.
