Christian group awaits fiery Wednesday apocalypse

Tomorrow is the day a U.S.-based Christian group has long maintained would be the last day on Earth.

For at least two years, the Philadelphia-based online church eBible Fellowship has preached that Wednesday will see the biblically-foretold end times, when the non-faithful perish in a final flaming rapture.

An eBible YouTube video posted in March said, "There is biblical evidence that the annihilation of every transgressor will occur on October 7, 2015."

In an interview with the Guardian, eBible leader Chris McCann reiterated that claim and said he was preparing for the very special day. The Earth, he said citing biblical verse, will end in fire.

1. Not yet world

I imagine so day but not in our lifetime. Not religious reasons but a scientific reason.

[Kelvin Mace]

24. Well, I understand that there may be some trouble

with the sun in the next 4-5 billion years. I plan on hanging around to see.

So far, so good.

[tblue]

2. Just hope the Cubs win first

They must be so excited. Bye!

[murielm99]

11. The world can't end until they do. n/t

[MindfulOne]

3. Wait. Wednesday? No, that's not gonna work for me.

No way, I have a webinar on Wednesday, it's too late to reschedule that.

[Plucketeer]

23. I hope my mid-day dental appointment

won't be to late. There's a penalty if I miss an appointment!

[azurnoir]

4. There's one like every other week lately but

the voices told me that it'll only happen when the Vikings win the Superbowl-I think we have time

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

26. Both the Vikes and the Bills need to win the Superbowl in back to back years

Coinciding with the Cubs world series win - we would be in HOT water!!

[LunaSea]

5. mmm, fiery apocalypse....

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. Nothing yet. It's Wednesday . nt

[HubertHeaver]

7. Is it supposed to end at the beginning of Wednesday or at the end?

That is, if Thursday starts, we dodged another one?

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. Oh. Well we have a little time then.

I think I will go to Perkins and have their pork chop dinner. It may be my last chance

[deutsey]

9. And I bet my office is still going to be open n/t

[Turbineguy]

10. "Biblical evidence."

Is that like facts from an Ayn Rand novel?

I suppose it's too late to send them a tax-deductible donation.

[mdbl]

12. Damn! No one on any of my religious channels is warning me!

I hate the fact I have to pay for all those religious whack jobs on my Satellite system and they can't even provide me a public service about the end of the world?

[jtuck004]

13. "Classes will be held as scheduled despite the Fiery Religious Apocalypse..."

[Plucketeer]

25. That may well be true

"the annihilation of every transgressor will occur on October 7, 2015." is what it says. So if you're not among the "transgressors", you'll probably make those classes just fine!

[jtuck004]

32. Uh-oh. n/t

[LiberalElite]

14. What time? I have a lunch date eom

[ffr]

29. lol. Skip it. It won't matter.

[Vinca]

15. Guess I won't bother making Thursday's grocery list. LOL.

[Sunlei]

16. good, I don't have to mow the grass on Thursday or pay my car insurance again!

It's been a great run and lots of fun

[Bossy Monkey]

17. But what'll happen to Marty McFly?!!! n/t

[dmr]

18. I'll make potato salad for the barbecue.

Mmmm, barbecue .....

[KansDem]

19. Thanks for the heads-up!

I think I'll take the day off. Or I could go into work and tell the boss exactly what I think of him!

Hmmm...decisions, decisions...

[WhoWoodaKnew]

20. If I had a dollar...

[yellowcanine]

21. Is there a time so that I know when to stay off the roads in case of

driverless vehicles? Having the date without the exact time is useless.

[ffr]

30. 2:09 PM

But it doesn't specify where.

[Tempest]

22. The real date of the Apocalypse is May 27, 2016

[SoapBox]

27. Yawn...

It's Wednesday, have I missed it? Should I just stay in bed? Skip the laundry? Not take out the trash?

Just as I thought...another bogus prediction.

[procon]

28. How are the rest of you going to spend your last hours?

Me?

Make the bed
Mop kitchen
read the last chapters of new book
marinade chicken for dinner... if I'm still here

[LibertyLover]

31. Worst apocalypse ever!

n/t

[Wibly]

33. Hope someone is minding their kids.

And making sure these yahoos don't hurt them. We had a group like this up in Canada some years ago who killed their kids and themselves because they believed it was the final day.
I know a lot of folks like to laugh at these types of groups, but they really are quite dangerous.

[Javaman]

34. One persons apocalypse is another persons bad day at work. LOL

I think these halfwits need to define what they mean by "apocalypse".

I can't wait for their excuses.

[FiveGoodMen]

35. And what are these people going to say tomorrow?

It's not like we haven't heard this before!

[yellowcanine]

36. Well last time this is what they said.....

After May 21 passed without the predicted incidents, Camping said he believed that a "spiritual" judgment had occurred on that date, and that the physical Rapture would occur on October 21, 2011, simultaneously with the final destruction of the universe by God.[14] Except for one press appearance on May 23, 2011, Camping largely avoided press interviews after May 21, particularly after he suffered a stroke in June 2011.[15] October 21, 2011, passed without the predicted apocalypse, leading to comments that Camping's ministry would collapse after the false prophecy.[16][17]

Camping was reported to have retired from his position at Family Radio on October 16, 2011,[18] only days before his last predicted date for the end of the world. However, his daughter later clarified that he had not retired outright, but was maintaining a role at Family Radio while working from home.[2] Camping admitted in a private interview that he no longer believed that anybody could know the time of the Rapture or the end of the world, in stark contrast to his previously staunch position on the subject.[18] In March 2012, he stated that his attempt to predict a date was "sinful", and that his critics had been right in emphasizing the words of Matthew 24:36: "of that day and hour knoweth no man". He added that he was now searching the Bible "even more fervently...not to find dates, but to be more faithful in [his] understanding."[19] After the failure of Camping's prophecies, Family Radio suffered a significant loss of assets, staff and revenue.[20]

37. Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

Personally I have always favored Ice.

[Phlem]

38. ...

Can't wait til wednesday.
