so when they had finished

I don't know what to make of the popularity of this or even the existence of something like this. It's ridiculous to think that Revelations is one of the most popular books of the Bible. I understand the mentality, that because so many things in this world are terrible, that because it is clear that society is devolving in its morality, that you hope the Lord steps in. That you hope He takes the vengeance that is His, and rights the wrongs. That is your inner holiness speaking, desirous of righteousness and justice.

But it is foolishness to become enraptured with the Rapture, to become obsessed with End Times literature. If you think the world is ending, you'd be acting differently, at least I hope so. You wouldn't be sending out emails with knowing smiles. You'd be doing your darnedest to preach the good news; you'd be donating all of your possessions; you'd be trying to store up the jewels.

But you wouldn't be joining clubs informing you of when to look up into the sky, that's for sure.
