Tell ya what, why don't you go look up the history of where the idea of Rapture originated and what that organization says about it.
The four horsemen have nothing to do with the Rapture by any interpretation I've ever come across, nor do the 144,000. I just answered the specific questions you asked. -----Original Message----- From: G Money [mailto:gm0n3...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 12:06 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Forget 2012.
