Today, is it gonna be the day?

I rather liked these words when they first came to be in the early seventies, still do:

He shall come as a thief in the night,
At a time that no man shall know,
A time known only by God in heaven,
He'll come to take those who to Him belong.

Up in the sky, He will take His own,
Those who've rejected Him, He'll leave behind.
For those taken, praising, rejoicing,
Nothing but sorrow, for those He's left behind.

So be on your guard, be watching and waiting,
Follow the Lord in all of your ways,
Live as He calls you and love all regardless,
For He will come again, perhaps today!

Sorry to see you've gone Vic.
Still, it was what you said you wanted and there'll still be plenty of us left to wrangle acrimoniously about just where you might have been taken.
So, we are raptured, or not, as naked as the day we were born are we?

That's the way many bill it - bring nothing in, take nothing out!

Sounds reasonable to me, but didn't somebody once famously say "If I can't take it with me, I ain't goin' "?

I guess the egg delivery man is on his way to Harold Camping's house with another delivery. How many loads is that?
