"Top 10 Day of Rapture FAIL jokes"
10) Doomsday, 1000 AD. It didn't happen. Dragons did not eat the peasants. Kings were not all collectively laid bare before the Almighty.
9) 1844 AD. William Miller predicted it, but we're still around. However, the Bahai believe it did happen, which means we already are living in the post-Armageddon age.
8) 1914, 1918, 1925, 1942 - Dates set for the end by the Jehovah's Witnesses. They don't make very reliable witnesses at this point, do they?
7) 1981 - Chuck Smith predicted that Jesus would probably return by 1981. Instead, 1982 came around, and Ronald Reagan was still President of the United States.
6) 1988 - Edgar C. Whisenant published 88 Reasons why the Rapture is in 1988. Sorry Edgar, you were wrong too.
5) 1992 - "Mission for the Coming Days", a Korean group, predicted October 28, 1992 as the rapture date. Maybe their math was lost in translation.
4) 1993 - Seven years before the year 2000. Rapture would have to start seven years before the Tribulation ahead of the Return in 2000. It didn't happen.
3) 1994 - Rev. Camping's falsely prophesied the day of rapture 1994. He chalked that mistake up to bad math.
2) 2000 AD - Doomsday. Nope, that didn't happen either. Planes did not fall out of the skies. Computers did not destroy civilization, but a lot of programmers made Y2K money.
... and the #1 Day of Rapture FAIL joke is:
1) Rev. Camping's credibility and that of other fundamentalist religious crackpots since May 22, 2011.
