“People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
- Friedrich Engels
1. May 21st at 6 PM. How do we get it ? A lot of ways. The easiest to understand ? We use the time that Noah's flood hit, which was 4990 BC on the 17th Day of the 2nd Month. It's been 7000 years since the flood. One day is like a thousand years to God. God gave Noah 7 days to get into the Ark. 7 Days = 7000 years. We are to apply the 1=1,000 when talking about the return of the Lord from the time of the flood. (2 Peter 3). The 17th Day on the 2nd month in the Hebrew/Jewish calendar converts to May 21st this year.
2. How will it work ? Believe it or not, by time zones. Furthest most East point to the furthest most West point. Starting in the Line Islands at 6 PM and ending in the last time zone which is maybe American Samoa or something. (Matthew 24:37). The Earthquake will hit there first (Revelation 16:18), and then the Earthquake will go from nation to nation (Jeremiah 25:32). This Earthquake will be so strong it will open the graves from the cemeteries and the ground. There are also many verses in Revelation that mention people standing afar off in other places and being able to see the destruction and going in "One Hour" is our Judgement coming as well. The "One Hour" being a reference to the Judgement going by time zones as well. (Revelation 18:10, 18:17, 18:19).
3. The saved will be Raptured up to Heaven, starting with those who are dead. (Thessalonians 4: 15-17). The ones who are not saved will be left behind, and will stay on Earth for 5 months (Revelation 9:5, 9:10 confirms the 5 months). When the 5 months are over, God will destroy the universe with fire. (2 Peter 3:10-12). Deuteronomy 28 talks about what it will be like in those 5 months.
4. You can be saved by reading the Bible. Nothing else. It will not guarantee it, but that is how you become saved if you were chosen to be. Under the hearing of the Word. None of our works matter. God did all of the work for the elect already. That's why I implore people here...by now you know that I'm not trolling, I could care less if you post in this topic or "take the bait" as I'm sure many people are thinking, but seriously, even if you think I'm some nut wack-job who sits around all day being crazy...you still need to read the Bible. How about...JUST IN CASE ? You never know, you could be saved simply by reading a verse online. IF May 21st happens and you are not saved, it's not your fault, you simply were never chosen. Anyone here could possibly be one of God's elect. We have no way of knowing.
This is a copy/paste; I don't believe in any of this.
They've left themselves wiggle room. If the "Rapture" comes and someone isn't "saved", well, that's up to "God". If (for some strange unfathomable reason) nothing happens after 21 May and the world doesn't end, they could say that this was a ploy to get more people to read the bible. Win/win all around.
Be interesting to see what happens on the 22nd. On the positive side it is good for some laughs, and it further embarrasses the Xtian fundi movement.
In 19th century America there were the Millerites, based on the teachings of a Vermont farmer, who lived in New York, who predicted the end of the world sometime in the 1840s. Tens of thousands of people moved to an area of western New York State awaiting this. When it didn't happen, Miller surprisingly wasn't discredited but his followers kept moving up the date. Eventually the Mormons as well as a bunch of other religions came out of this.Unfortunately the current batch of apocalyptic religionists seem to lack the creativity of their 19th century spiritual ancestors.
That's a relief, I was getting worried there for a minute. After 22 May, whenever, are there any chances these people could link up w/the jucheists.?Maybe we'll have the May 21 Songon Movement. Praise the Lord and the DPRK Army!
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget

Technically only 144,000 will be saved (rapture preachers ignore this and swear that their entire flocks will be saved). 144,000 is going to leave a lot of Bible-bangers staying behind looking very silly. All that devotion and they're going to Hell because there's only room for 144,000.
Out of 4 billion, only 144,000!

Just as a fact check, there are only 2.3 billion Christians in the world.
Hahaha, just made up a number tbh. Though I am relieved it is less than 4 billion.

Shouldn't that be 6.75 billion?
Hey, even RevLeft has better odds. Out of 29,000 only 1,900!

All of them male virgins. Yaoi fangirls rejoice.
You know for fundamentalists, I have to say that this is a pretty liberal interpretation of the Bible. I guess even the fundamentalists have thrown literalism out.
“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” Charles Bukowski, Factotum
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." MLK

"Judgement Day" essentially would be the dialectical equal and opposite of the "Big Bang".
Hermes Tristmegistus said: "At the end of the world heaven and earth must be joined together, which is the philosophical word." - Essentially it means the interpenetration of the worlds of material and mind. It shoudln't mean much to Marxist-Leninists, best to just ignore it.

Oh! I didn't see you were specifically talking about the May 21 thing, that is just what some fundamentalist sect is propagating, some good old boy that goes by the name Harold Camping - he also really likes to say that on Judgement Day all the dead bodies of the non-elect will be thrown from their graves onto the surface of the world to be "shamed in the eyes of God". Really morbid dude honestly.

If I was baptized but I no longer believe, do I get to go?!

You know if you go with a literal interpretation of that passage in Revelations, only members of the 12 tribes of Israel get to go. 12,000 * 12 = 144,000. So technically that means only Messianic Jews get to go.If I was baptized but I no longer believe, do I get to go?!
Christians actually believe in something called the "New Covenant", in other words, the 144,000 elect do not have to be Jewish, they easily could have been from a lineage of Jews that converted to Christianity early on. At least that is how modern fundamentalist Christianity would explain it.

If you told a fundamentalist they were descended from a Semite they'd punch you in the mouth.
There is also a theological school of thought which holds that Americans are God's real chosen people. I can't remember the logic they used though, nor what it was called. But many fundamentalist denominations subscribe to this theology.
None the less, many fundy Christians do somehow believe themselves to be "part of the elect" i.e. the 144,000 - even Reformation sects like the Calvinists did this.
