I see bumber stickers every now and then and one I see fairly often is something like this.

"In case of Rapture this vehicle will be unmanned"


While clever, I wonder how funny it really is. For those that believe that you will just be going along and poof, you will be in heaven, does it bother you that your unmanned vehicle may veer off and kill someone?

Well of course we worry about that....the end result will be that there will probably be some lives lost which is very sad. Lives are lost everyday! Lives who never knew Christ. Obviously we have no control over that.

But if people accept Christ then they have control of their destiny and whether or not they will be raptured or whether they will be a victim. The bumper stickers are simply warnings, not meant to be funny. I have one on my car that asks "are you rapture ready?" and lists the www.raptureready.com website. Being ready is the key. And I don't just mean for the rapture. July 11th is coming up real soon!

No, God will be in control of that vehicle, so no need to worry. Now if you're not saved and miss the rapture, then it's time to be concerned.

Yeah, fortunatly, though as your unmanned car careens through a bunch of sinners, God will wipe your tears away right?

I don't believe in the "secret rapture". Don't see it in the Bible. I see the second coming of Jesus, that's all.

If God wants to remove me from my vehicle then he can control where it goes.

Why the warning for the unmanned vehicle if I do not have to worry about it?

It's all through out the Bible that God is control of EVERYTHING. Genesis 1:1, Romans 8:28, Psalm 135:5-6 are few.

To make people think...."am I ready for the rapture".
