I'm cold too. And hungry. Can someone set something on fire for me to eat?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oopsie.
The Rapture will happen in 2007! Or at least it was supposed to....
God revealed to me two things about the timing of the rapture. God specifically told me 2007 was the year, because I was only going to have from 3 to 3 1/2 years to spread the message after my book was published. It was published in June 2004. ...
...The prophetic dream God gave me was about the rapture and how the rapture related to my own personal life and the town I live in. The prophetic message that I believe God wants me to share is that the rapture of the church (God's children) will happen this year 2007!!
Here's his book 2007
Well, since it is now 2008, he has this to say (in asscapps):
I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY THE RAPTURE DID NOT HAPPEN IN THE TIME FRAME I SAID. I KNEW I WAS NOT TO RELEASE THIS PROPHECY UNTIL GOD TOLD ME TO. THAT IS WHY I KEPT THE DREAM TO MYSELF FROM 1986 TO 2003. I STILL BELIEVE THE PROPHETIC DREAM I HAD WAS FROM GOD. I HAVE TOLD THE DREAM JUST AS GOD GAVE IT TO ME. THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THAT I RELEASED THE DREAM AT THE WRONG TIME AND GOT THE BOOK PUBLISHED TOO EARLY. MAYBE THE DREAM HAD SOME KIND OF SYMBOLIC MEANING INSTEAD OF A LITERAL MEANING THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT YET. I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG AND WHY THE PROPHECY FAILED.

Or maybe the dream was a result of fierce digestive issues?

I'm tempted to email the guy and say, "Maybe the Rapture did happen and you just weren't good enough...."

Well, at least that's honesty. The truly craxxy are the ones who are like, "No, your stupid calendar is wrong!!"

Huh. If you read the whole mea culpa you can sorta' see why he thought his dream was a real prophecy. (He was very sick and got some weird phone call and suddenly got better and attributed it to a miracle.) It just seems like an honest mistake that someone who believes in the Rapture and prophetic dreams might make. I mean, I don't think he was intentionally exploiting people to make money with his book.

Yeah, I like that he admits it. Rather than, "Er, uh, I meant 2007 days from 2007! Yeah!"
