Questions About "Rapture"
Since Radio host and fringe Christian leader Harold Camping's "Rapture" and "End of the World" proclamations have been circulating and making the rounds throughout the media, including the Internet, millions have watched with a somewhat critical eye about this being "Judgement Day." For me, it has left a lot of questions.
I am a God-fearing Christian man, but my reading of the Bible doesn't jibe with that of Camping. He had another prediction of the World's end in 1994 that was wrong. Is he right this time? I guess we will find out at 6 p.m. international time when Camping predicts a massive earthquake, like which we have never seen in our lifetime. He believes today is the right time because this is the 7,000 birthday of Noah's Ark.
Mainly as I contemplate these next few hours, I wonder what kind of earthquake will strike down Earth? Will it be one that splits the planet in half? If that happens, do those living in the center of earth, come to the Heavens with the other 200 million "saved believers?" Or does that total count those living in the "undiscovered" earth core?
What is a earthquake? Is it similar to a quake?
As a means of understanding of what a quake is, I referred to Wikipedia for definitions.
~ Quake is an abbreviation of an earthquake or a seismic "shaking" of earth.
~ Quake and Quisp were a pair of Quaker Oats sweetened cereals advertising together in the 1960s.
~ Quake is also a videogame series -- 1996 first person shooter computer game by ID software.
~ Quake is a fictional "Transformers" character.
~ Quake Inc., is a Japanese music company.
~ Daisy Johnson Marvel Comics also has a comics character also known as "Quake."
With the "quake" question answered, I wonder if Church services will be canceled or postponed for Sunday morning? What about Saturday night? And, when will we find out?
I am left wondering what happens to all the unpaid bills? Will the credit crunch end?
Can I take my unread books with me? I mean, I have started like six books and I like them all. So?
What happens to all those scheduled sports events and other happenings?
If it is truly "Rapture" and not some version of the New Wave band Blondie's 1981 hit, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCdS7O248g, it will mean that today's running of the Preakness will likely be the final horse race ever held on earth.
With the NBA West Finals set to resume in at the Oklahoma City Arena tonight, does Mark Cuban talk with the NBA about running a "quaking" promotion about the grandness of the game? Is he a "believer?"
Does "quaking" simply refer to the "shaking" of the arena when Dallas makes a patented run on the heals of its star Dirk Nowitski?
In baseball, a lot of games will be underway and when the "Rapture" unfolds in this part of the world. So, who finishes the game if most of the players ascend with Camping and the "believers?" Surely some players and fans will remain. Will the games be completed on on Earth or in the Heavens?
What happens if, say, Reggie Miller, ascends? Does that mean TNT throws Charles Barkley into the NBA analyst role of which he seems to have been born to fill? If he does, will Kenny "The Jet" Smith, join him or go with Reggie upstairs?
What does it mean for the Dallas and Okie fans, both hoping for their first title? Are they hoping for a heavenly outcome?
What happens to the market? Does the price of gas come down?
In baseball will "quaking" refer to each HR (and there will likely be many) that Detroit Tiger relief pitchers give up to Pirate hitters at PNC Ballpark tonight?
Who sends the first Twitter from Heaven? Does it happen during "Rapture" or will phones and computers cease to operate at that point?
After "Rapture," as pointed out by a National Public Radio story, "who walks the dog?" I sure hope Sierra gets to come?

What happens to the astronauts in space on Endeavor? Where do they return on June 1?
For those remaining on Earth, do they continue tweeting until the end? What do you do with Facebook friends?
If you remain on Earth do you continue to add friends and then, do you "unfriend" those who have ascended? Also, will we be able to FB in Heaven?
Does war end?
What happens with the discussion and investigation of PEDs and whether Lance Armstrong and others violated the moral sanctum of athletics?
What about all the graduation parties set to be held tonight and tomorrow? Do we still go? If those graduating ascend, what do the others celebrate?
So many questions....
As I contemplate others, I am told as I finish this blog that "Rapture" is not happening. http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2011/05/21
If it was to occur, New Zealand should already be feeling the effects of Camping's prophecy. So it appears on we go...
Yes, bills are due on Monday.
