More Rapturists Looking to Deceive Believers

As an earlier post of mine said, many rapturists are looking to December 20-21 as the new date of their rapture now. However, as you will see if you read this post, every bit of information they are using is falsified and altered. Altered only slightly, so that it still is believable, but still enough to be dangerous and corrosive.

The Correlation of the First Day of Hanukkah and the First day of Winter

These rapturists are saying that since the first day of Hanukkah falls on the first day of winter this year (an occurrence that happens once every seven years) that it is a strong signal that Jesus may return on that day. This may be a strong point – when this correlation really does happen. However, this year is not the year. Though it’s close, the beginnings do not quite correlate.

The first day of Hanukkah always falls on the Hebrew date “Kislev 25”. This is the first mistake these rapturists have made. They profess that Hanukkah begins on Kislev 24. Simply incorrect.

It just so happens that when converted to the gregorian calendar, Kislev 25 is December 20th.

The next problem, is the winter solstice (the first day of winter) falls on December 21. Clearly, they do not correlate. Exhibit one closed.

The Blood Red Lunar Eclipse on December 10th, 2011

Another thing the rapturists are pointing to is the “Blood Moon” that rose over Israel and western North America on the 10th. Undeniably, these phenomenons are mentioned in the Bible on several occasions, and are said to signal the coming of Christ, but what these rapturists fail to mention is that one happened last year around this exact same time. They are common occurrences, and while there have been three this century that really have been followed by Israeli-involved wars, there are many more that have come and gone with nothing. There is no reason to believe this one is any different. Besides, it has now been more than seven days since the blood moon.

What is the significance of this?

The three others this century were followed by wars that broke out EXACTLY 7 days after the eclipse. Nothing has happened, and we have not been “raptured” so that we can miss the war, either.

There are many other things rapturists are doing and saying and pointing to as “signs of the rapture”, but the unmentioned ones are ten times as ridiculous as the ones I have mentioned. They include talk of illuminati(nonsense), President Barack Obama being the Anti-Christ (he doesn’t have the nerve to ever claim that he is God, and besides, his approval ratings would be much higher than they currently are if he was the anti-christ), the NWO is already in place and that they have staged events like 9/11, the earthquake in Japan, etc.

We should be outraged by this, and we should silence them the only way possible. Avoid them. Do not buy into their pagan games, and their perversion of prophecy. For a group of people that call themselves “Fundamentalists”, they sure do take away the fundamentals of the religion. I would bet most children raised in Fundamentalist families have been taught to be more concerned about the rapture than Jesus Christ, or their relationship with God, or their observance of holidays and I bet their prayer has been conflicted. We must silence these “biblical perverts” once and for all.

God Bless You.
