Will there be zombies? You can't have an apocalypse without zombies.

Sure, Jesus's body will rise from the dead and he and his apostles will lead the Apocalypse. (In reality, only his spirit rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, leaving the body behind where no-one knows.)

There will be cries everywhere of "Oh, Jesus!! !".

See, the Rapture isn't anywhere near that cool. People just sort of dissolve into nothingness and they just go to heaven. God's chosen. No 41 virgins or anything.

Zombies would at least liven things up a bit.

:lol: I think I just need to rename this thread - Zombie Apocolypse: Your Field Guide to Surviving the End of the World

Does everyone have their bugout bag ready - just in case. Perhaps there was no ancient bible code for zombie and 'earthquake' is just the closest approximation. OR what if those 200 million Christians assend to heaven in the rapture and God leaves their undead corpses to clean up the leftovers... hmmmm... biblical zombie apocolypse. Romero never thought of THAT one.

If there are zombies after the rapture, then I am definitely staying (not like I'm a rapture candidate, anyway).

Wait, do those left behind (the rapture) get to inherit a slightly depopulated Earth? Or do we get the express elevator to Hell?

(This is reminding me of the South Park episode where Heaven has a sign that says, "Population: 1200" and hell has a sign with a 12-digit odometer that's spinning so fast you can't read it.)

Well according to scripture (supposedly) 200 million Christians are going to heaven. At the same moment there will be a world wide earthquake, the likes of which the earth has never seen. From there on, those left behind will exist in a sort of living hell as all social order collapses until we meet final judgement in October 2011. Then the earth shall be destroyed by fire and, I suppose, we are added to Satan's ranks.

So, eventually, yes. We get the express elevator. It's gonna be one BIG elevator...

Gee, and this earth-shattering apocalyptic earthquake starts in only 4 days? Can't wait! I might be visiting the hooker sooner than I planned.

Isn't that convenient... not keeping us waiting for years at a time. I'm impressed with this giterdone attitude of THIS apocolypse.

Me too! All those other apocalypses had a minimum time-period of at least a few years (Preferably decades to make it more authentic), but it looks like our culture's increasing instant-gratification is starting to show up in popular eschatology.

And my apocalypse-obsessed cousin promised me I had until 2013, too. I think I'm going to have to call him up and express my dissatisfaction with HIS timing.

I wait until 6:02pm PST before I made that call though... just to be sure.

I know about December 21st, 2012 but what happens in 2013? I am unaware for a 2013 prophecy. It is about time for another Nostradamus hit. And, of course, the Jewish bible code is still in effect too... so many apocolypses so little time.

Apparently, there was this youtube video that predicted, through a complex set of assumptions and analyses of the Old testament, a doomsday date that was conveniently within the next 5 years, and my cousin was convinced. The tribulation was supposed to start in 2011, the "beginning of the feast" sometime around 2013 with the "final days" sometime after 2015. Apparently, we would only begin to see the warning signs in 2011 (Such as the mysterious mass of dying fish and birds(Which has already happened this year) and earthquakes) and then all hell would break loose in 2013 when the antichrist claimed command of the world and the persecution would begin and it'd be obvious to everyone by then.

I'm wondering who the middle-eastern anti-christ is going to be... 2 years and so little time to gain command of the world.

that would make a good pointed satirical version of those "left behind" books and movies. 8)

Oh, I had it mixed up -- I thought it was 200 thousand people.

Hmm, 4 months in a post-apocalyptic world, with a collapsed social order and cities ruined by earthquakes... Coool. And zombies would be the perfect addition. I need to write to some Voodoo experts to find out how to make that happen.
