Web Site Offers to Send Post-Rapture E-Mails to Friends 'Left Behind'
FOXNews.com ^ | June 05, 2008

Posted on 06/05/2008 11:12:03 AM PDT by Alex Murphy

A new Web site is offering a miraculous service — e-mails sent to loved ones left behind on Earth after you've been swept up to heaven in the Rapture.

YouveBeenLeftBehind.com promises to alert up to 62 people exactly six days after the event that, according to the Bible, signals the beginning of Armageddon, Wired magazine's Threat Level reports.

"You've Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends for Christ," the site promoting the service says.

Final e-mails from vanished subscribers will be triggered when three of the site's five Christian staffers fail to log in for six days in a row.

• Click here to visit YouveBeenLeftBehind.com.

The site, the brainchild of Mark Heard, charges $40 a year for the service, which also includes 150 megabytes of encrypted storage space, recommended for financial information, Threat Level reports.

"In the encrypted portion of your account you can give them access to your banking, brokerage, hidden valuables and powers of attorneys," the site says.

"There won't be any bodies, so probate court will take seven years to clear your assets to your next of kin. Seven years, of course, is all the time that will be left," it explains. "So, basically the Government of the Antichrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way."

According to Christian theology, after the Rapture, Satan will rule a global government that will torment doubters with seven years of Tribulation.

Heard told Threat Level that he already has paying subscribers.

I once interviewed for a job at a Christian publisher and said. “This is the perfect job. When the rapture occurs, I’ll be found doing the Lord’s work, and if by chance, I’m left behind, I’ll be the CEO.”

Seven years later is when the anti-christ is wiped out, and Christ returns with the raptured to reign for 1000 years. So if it's held up in probate for 7 years, it should be available just in time for your return.

I think it's an interesting idea. I especially liked this part:

"There won't be any bodies, so probate court will take seven years to clear your assets to your next of kin. Seven years, of course, is all the time that will be left," it explains. "So, basically the Government of the Antichrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way."

"according to the Bible"

"according to Christian theology"

How about "according to some eccentric interpretations of the Bible" or "according to an unorthodox strand of Christian theology made popular in recent decades by lurid Christo-fiction writers like Tim LeHaye"...

Talk about lazy journalism.

What do mean the e-mails went out? "Darn it Fred I told you it was a bad idea for us to vacation together!!"

Services Overview

We have set up a system to send documents by the email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the “Rapture” of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system.

LOL!

I guessing there will be some great deals on houses and used cars following the rapture.

Yeah but you could only get a seven year mortgage. Plus you would have to deal with 444, the Realtor of the beast.

I wasn’t raptured,
I was just in the loo.

I saw a car a few years ago with a bumper sticker that said “Warning, in case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned.” Two things hit me: First, a woman was driving the car. Second, would God really leave a car careening driverless down the road just to effect a far-fetched interpretation of scripture?

I saw a bumper sticker that read:

“In Case of Rapture, Can I Have Your Car?”

That’s pretty much what happened in the Left Behind novels. People raptured right from their day to day lives and whatever they were doing (IE driving a car) continued on without them...much chaos insues.

Dead and dying and suffering people are everywhere
Disease, nuclear weapons and other evil is rampant
Most signs of civilization have been rendered useless
You were left behind to face Satan and unbelievable suffering, so...

“Honey, did you check the e-mail?”

Out of curiosity what would happen if these five didn’t get raptured and kept coming to work?

Was she driving a convertible? If not, then she didn't get the memo.
