Never...base your theology on the front page of the newspaper.
On or about Nov 4...

Speculation without purpose.
So a solar storm would whisk people away to heaven?

Electricity is the high priest of false security.
Well, at least Obama will be burning in hell. There’s no Mooslum version of the rapture anyway.
Does he know why electricity doesn’t fall out of wall sockets?
The Rapture will happen however God wants it to happen. I don’t worry about it.
No man knoweth the hour or day...
Keep guessing though and good luck.
I am skeptical about solar flares destroying all communications but possible disruption is very possible.
Electro Magnetic Pulse, however is another altogether possible event that would “fry” almost all solid state devices. TV, Radio, Autos, and power Generation control devices.
This would not remove citizens from the earth as some see the Rapture happening. A Nuke would, and I have thought about that as a possible explanation of the disappearance of the Church.
When someone tells me they know how the future is going to unfold their credibility goes out the window.
We are not in control, we cannot predict the future, and no one has that type of knowledge. Except our Creator.

Question in the envelope: "Who qualifies as the biggest religious nut case today?"
It is not our job to foment disasters and lawlessness, especially when we foment them by default through our inaction and disinterest. We are stewards of the Lord's vineyard. The day will come when a generation arises fully embracing iniquity and ushering in the end. But, as Aragorn might say, "it is not this day!" We don't have to usher it in via neglect! It would seem that there are too many Christians who internally look with glee upon every bad thing that happens, because they figure that these are just "signs" that they won't have to "deal with" living here for much longer. God will hardly be pleased with such an attitude, I'm quite sure.
Let's leave the engineering jobs designed to bring about the end to the Shiites who want to bring back the Mahdi through worldwide chaos. ANd then let's do all in our power to thwart them! Shame on any Christian who seeks to do what boils-down to the same thing the crazy Shiites seek by letting chaos prevail, or worse, actively seeking its creation or continuance. We've got work to do here, now. Preferably with a better understanding of what the Rapture entails to begin with, but, barring that, at least spending more time with noses to the grindstone than with noses in the air, looking around in vain for any and all "signs."
Had this approach already been embraced, with the result that millions more Christians had been paying better attention, 0 wouldn't be the usurper-President, and any number of social ills wouldn't have gained enough traction over the last 30-40 years to ensure his placement in the office he claims to have. Let's wake up, people! God will come for His own in His own good time. We don't have to "help" him by default with our own sloth, greed and cowardice.
May God forgive the deluded simpleton for the harm he is doing God's beloved people, with his inane, asinine fortune-telling. How LONG, O Lord, will You permit the soothsayers to bring such open reproach upon Your Honor?
My take on this is that it’s complete malarkey, as is the “rapture” doctrine and Dispensationalism in general.
When Jesus Christ returns, it will be no secret. The time-space universe of flesh and atoms that clothes us will dissolve away like mist in sunlight and for the first time we will see Reality as it is. On that day every human being that has ever lived will be revealed for what he or she really is, and we will know that we are naked in the sight of God and our fellow man. There will be no place to hide from the all-pervasive Glory of Him that is Existence itself. Only those who have been reborn through the Most Precious Blood of Christ by their own free choice will withstand that all-consuming fire; the rest will char to ashes and be swept away to exist for eternity in the Hell of their own pride.
Instead of wondering if this is The End, let’s concern ourselves with being ready for The End whenever it comes. After all, the end can come for any of us at any time. It’s called death. THAT is the “end time” that we should be worried about, not some pie-in-the-sky Left-Behind bullshit.
