This is a notice that if you are living in the Pacific Time Zone, the Rapture will actually begin at 11pm tonight. I know it is supposed to occur on May 21st, but the truth is that it will happen at 6pm in every time zone. So, you know, it’ll start at the international time zone out there somewhere in the Pacific Ocean and then just kind of wind its way around the globe. When the first tremors are felt in Pago Pago it will be 2am on the east coast and by the time we all wake up China and India should already be gone. I wasn’t sure how it was all going to go down, but I’m glad I had it explained to me. It sounds like I’m going to be doing a road trip. California, here I come.
The end of the world will be at exactly 6 p.m. on May 21, 2011, says [Harold] Camping, who along with his organization, Family Radio, are behind those billboards across the country forecasting the Rapture this Saturday. The Rapture, the Last Days, Armageddon and the Final Days of Judgment are all interchangeable. It’s when God will destroy the Earth to show his love for humanity.
Is that Eastern Standard or Pacific Standard Time?
Neither, says Camping, whom I interviewed recently for my online news show TYT Now. The Rapture is at 6 p.m. on May 21, 2011, where ever it’s 6 p.m. first, with the “fantastically big” world-ending event taking place on a time zone by time zone basis.
That means we can expect the Rapture to start when it hits 6 p.m. at the International Dateline at 180 Longitude — roughly the [sic] between Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Nuku’alofa, Tonga. We’ll know it’s Judgment Day because there will be an earthquake of previously unprecedented magnitude, Camping predicts.
So, according to these calculations, the Rapture will actually begin like a rolling brown out across the globe at 11 p.m. PST on Friday, May 20th. “Everyone will be weeping and wailing because they’ll know in a few hours it’ll come to their city,” said Camping.
The nice thing about this is the forewarning. I don’t have to worry that I’ll die suddenly at 6pm. If people haven’t been dying for sixteen hours already in time zones to my East, I’ve got nothing to worry about. Feel better?
