I visited <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wecanknow.com\" target=\"_blank\">their website<\/a><\/strong><\/em> and read more. It turns out that on October 21st, the world would be destroyed &#8212; according to the same people who also predicted that believers would be raptured two days ago.<\/P><\/p>\n<p>Now, if you&#8217;re currently reading this post, it can only mean one of three things <strong>(1)<\/strong> They were kinda, sorta really, really, <em><strong>REALLY<\/strong><\/em> wrong about the date of rapture, or <strong>(2)<\/strong> It did occur, and you&#8217;re still here reading my blog because you&#8217;re clearly not a believer, or <strong>(3)<\/strong> Neither one nor two, but that&#8217;s just because Jega postponed the rapture date.<\/P><\/p>\n<p>When I visited the site on May 21st 2011, it was actually nowhere to be found. I visited it on my computer and on my phone, and it had disappeared. The page could not be displayed. It&#8217;s back now, and I&#8217;m surprised that they have not made any statement to acknowledge that May 21st has gone, but their highly predicted and\u00a0publicized rapture did not come to pass. This reminds me of the Y2K fiasco in 1999. I&#8217;m now wondering how many people have sold their properties in anticipation of this rapture.<\/P><\/p>\n<p>I guess we have to wait for October 21st 2011. Or not. \u00a0I don&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s possible for us to know when Jesus would return.
