realisticly if the world was going it end, which it will, cause everything that has begining also has an ending, it would not end all in one day. that is total BS. It would end in a series of events. Even if something like an astroid the size of the moon hit the earth, it still would not end all in one day. The earth would likely be knocked out of orbit, and the debris would have clouded the entire earth, the climate changes so rapidly that horrible storms kill many people and all the plants die from lack of light and the right tempatures, then the animals and people and so on would die..and with the earth out of the orbit that gave it life, life never begins again.
But even in that most extreeme scenero, it would not happen all in one day.
But the idea of a rapture is really a rather new concept in christianity...only 200 or so years old.
But I have noticed that there are more doomsday dates, more often than in the past. I dont think this is a sign of the earth ending, but rather that the social political culture is changing in our country, and not in a possitive way either cause the only purpose in doomsday dates and theories outside of real science is fear. Fearful people are easy to control. And with a doomsday clock always ticking at some point, people are more easily led to places unaware.
