Possibly a loop-hole about the rapture?

[Byere]

[Mat 25:13] Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Ok, so lemme get all this straight.

No-one, neither prophet nor man nor angel, knows the day or hour of judgment/rapture. No matter who says what, no-one knows exactly what will happen on that day or how we will all "die" (for lack of a better term of it all). All that's said is that the "Son of man cometh". Since only God knows when this will happen, we can assume he's not going to come down to us (himself) but we will be going to him.

Therefore, isn't it safe to say that the POSSIBILITY that the day of judgment/rapture isn't going to be a time when Jesus Christ comes down from the heavens, descending upon a ray of light to greet the human populace and welcome them to the supposed utopia... but it might just be when a gigantic meteor vaporises the planet upon impact or if the sun goes supernova prematurely or even just where humanity throws all it's nukes at each other and kills off all life on the planet... Could they not be concidered a mass judgment day/rapture?
We don't know exactly when it will happen till it's too late, and when word does get out, it'll have enough time to spread so all of man will know about it as it happens.

"knowing" and "guessing" are two different things. God is not obligated to change His plans in order to avoid making some nut right by coincidence.

You know whats most funny about that rapture ? That almighty God decided to obey time zones created by humans.

It's because USA is gods chosen nation, you know he chose it 10,000 years ago.

It's supposed to happen at 5-6pm eastern standard time, it hasn't even happened yet.
derp

Not what Camping said,according to him its 6 PM local time everywhere and will come one time zone at a time its already passed the supposed rapture time in most of the Pacific and nothing happened so he's obviously wrong at this point.

there is a reason why most of the religous texts have stuff in common...and we should be tryin to figure that out instead of worryin about this "rapture" bs.

Being a Christian myself, I consider it like this.

Any idiot can be lucky on a guess, but that doesn't mean that he'll actually know. You can predict an earthquake in San Fransisco to happen every day, but that doesn't mean you'll be right. Eventually, when one happens there you may have said it would happen, but you didn't really know.

But how do you know it didn't happen already?

The end of times was one of my favorite subjects to study, and there are thingsthat haven't really happened yet, such as the destruction of Jerusalem, and a few other signs that either haven't happened yet, or nobody correctly interpreted. It takes a ton of study to even start really getting into it.

The rapture will happen every day every year for the next 100 years...

I thought the reason the Rapture didn't happen was because Macho Man Randy Savage sacrificed himself for the good of all humanity.
Oh, and something about no man being able to know when the Rapture happens...
