I’m not going to lie to you guys but doing this research was less fun and more confusing. Confusing because most of the infallible proof that they had revolved around numbers. Numbers, it seems to me, that were just made up to prove fact. Essentially it’s around the same logic as this:
My name has five letters.
There are four seasons.
5-4=1
1 is the purest number.
Therefore I am the second coming of Christ.
Alright, it might not be that crazy, but it’s almost there. And keep your panties on people, I do not believe that I’m the second coming of Christ. Although I do think that turning water into wine would be awesome. Would it be a fine full bodied Merlot or a crisp Riesling?
Alright, so the actual numbers. Keep in mind the numbers that they start off with are all kind of made up- they argue that they got these numbers because God wanted them to receive them around now. 7! Oh sorry, did I startle you? God was just sending me a number.
According to the ambassadors, they have discovered that the great flood that Noah had to deal with was 4990 B.C. In the Bible it also said that God told Noah that he had seven days before the great flood.
Elsewhere in the Bible (2 Peter 3:8) one day to God equals 7000 years to us. Which was really the whole defense of the Scopes trial and led to some sweet monologin’ in Inherit the Wind.
OK, so 7000 years after 4990 B.C. is 2011. Then if you add in the leap years and what not it rounds up to May 21st, 2011. Or something.
So their other proof is going up from the exact date of the crucifixtion, which according to them is April 1st, 33 A.D. Was that the first April Fools Day joke? ‘Cause in that case, April Fools should technically be April 3rd, because everyone was all like “Christ is dead!” and then He was all like “No I ain’t B*tches! April Fools!” I don’t care if you just found that blasphemous. Jesus Christ playing pranks is hilarious. "You're blind! April Fools! Now you can see! LOLz, guys!"
Back to the numbers. After April 1st, 33 A.D. there are 722,500 days until May 21st. Why is the number 722,500 important? It isn’t! Yay arbitration!
To the folks at Family Radio, the number 722,500 is represented by the equation 5x10x17x5x10x17, which are symbolic numbers. 5 means atonement, 10 means completeness and 17 means heaven. And then you do that twice? Hey, why not!
Then there’s the theory that between April 1st, 33 A.D. and April 1st 2011 is 1,978 years. Then you multiply that by the number of days in a solar year (365.2422 days) and then add 51 days (because that’s how many days are between April 1st and May 21st) and you get 722,500. INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE, PEOPLE!
So anyway, that's the proof that the Bible tells you. In any case, there's still a chance we're all doomed on Saturday (or at least 2012 for that matter - it's totally going to happen). So there's only one question left to ask.

So the barman said, "Oh yes, sir? Nice weather for it," and started pulling pints.
He tried again. "Going to watch the match this afternoon then?"
Ford glanced around him. ""No, no point," he said, and looked back out the window.
"What's that, foregone conclusion then, you reckon, sir?" said the barman. "Arsenal without a chance?"
"No no," said ford, "it's just that the world's about to end."
"Oh yes, sir, so you said," said the barman, looking over his glasses this time at Arthur. "Lucky escape for Arsenal if it did."
Ford looked back at him , genuinely surprised.
"No, not really," he said.
We've only got 30 hours left on the planet. Why would we want to spend our last hours torturing ourselves?
Don’t forget to feed my fish.
Rapture is lowercase. The industry style book is Hudson’s The Christian Writer’s Manual of Style primarily for books in the Christian market. The writer has an extensive list of theological words and terms showing whether to cap or lowercase.
Now back to the thread.
