2 Kings 2:

23 And he (Elisha) went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

Good scripture and very applicable to today!

What were the kids mocking? They were mocking the "Rapture"! Elisha was just raptured by G-d and everyone in Israel had heard about it. That is why they said, "Go on up old baldhead!"

Very similar to today's generation..."they have been saying for the last 200 years that Jesus is going to come back and rapture the church..." When it does happen, they will be left when all "hell" breaks loose. Maranatha!
