According to Family Radio evangelist Harold Camping (an engineer by training), "The rapture will come upon us on May 21, 2011". This is the same man who had predicted that the World was coming to an end in September 1994. According to some 'experts' the rapture is a five month long process which I have still not been able to fully understand. Perhaps that is how long it will take for all the sorting.
On Judgment Day, May 21, 2011, this five-month period of horrible torment will begin for all the inhabitants of the earth (does include all living creatures since they too are life and inhabit the earth?). God will raise up all the dead that have ever died from their graves. Earthquakes will ravage the whole world as the earth will no longer conceal its dead. People who died as saved individuals will experience the resurrection of their bodies and immediately leave this world to forever be with the Lord. Those who died unsaved will be raised up as well, but only to have their lifeless bodies scattered about the face of all the earth. Death will be everywhere. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Now all of this terrible news for some, wonderful news for others is quite confusing and leaves many more questions than options without even bringing into consideration ones own religion or beliefs. So I will leave you to your own thoughts and look forward to the morning of May 22, 2011 being a normal day with the possibility of sunshine and warm temperatures so I can get some yard work taken care of without a bunch of dead bodies to clean up first.
