1510 Rap Sure

The Rapture did not or did happen on May 21st.
Yes I said did.
But, as no giant exodus to heaven appeared to happen, many of the folks still here are trying to figure it out. Many followers said the delay was a further test from God to persevere in their faith.
"It's still May 21 and God's going to bring it," said special projects coordinator Michael Garcia of Harold Camping's Family Radio, who spent Saturday morning praying and drinking two last cups of coffee with his wife at home in Alameda. "When you say something and it doesn't happen, your pride is what's hurt. But who needs pride? God said he resists the proud and gives grace to the humble."
Nice spin. Or is that the persistence of belief? They had been saying for months the day was the day. The rapture was May 21st. They were confident. You could even say they were rap sure.
But it didn't come, so now it’s a “further test from God.”
That's one interpretation.
The other is, it did come and they weren't taken. I imagine that pride's even harder to swallow. And scouring the news, it does appear that at least 3 people were missing without a clue.
Hmmm.
The Rapture is supposed to signal the end days. Which means if it did happen we'll see the roll out of Revelation and the Apocalypse. Giant Destructive Tornados. Floods. Earthquakes and Volcanoes. War in the Middle East. Thank God none of that happened in the days following the 21st.
Wait a minute.
There's an even better interpretation. Or possibly even more unsettling. The Rapture actually did happen and we were taken. Which means you should turn to your neighbor and hold his or her hand.
Smile.
We're now in heaven.
America, ya gotta love it.
