ARKANSAS CITY (AP) --
A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sun roof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye witnesses.
Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus.
"She started screaming "He's back, He's back" and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said. "She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.
"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force,"said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene.
Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was dressed up as Jesus and was on his way to a toga costume party when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blowup dolls filled with helium which floated up into the air.
Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration, and said "Come back here," just as the Williams' car passed him.
Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed by him, according to her husband, who says his wife loved Jesus more than anything else.
When asked for comments about the twelve dolls, Jenkins replied, "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."
Don't worry!! Before Jesus returns, there will be great tribulation and then Jesus will return and gather the wicked and the evil to His Almighty Fathers Great White Throne Judgment; while we that know Him will be rewarded like kings and queens!!

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Voltaire
"Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true." ~ Buddha [paraphrased]

ReplyDeleteThere is no flying up or getting your wings. Big misunderstanding of the bible. The word rapture was made by a woman long after the bible was finished being written. The rapture theory is wrong as well. People are not going to fly away. Its too bad that some churches teach this theory as some teachers are misinformed. If you pay attention to the bible and not man you will see it says "the last day". People do not fly up and the anti-christ comes first. The rapture theory is not true.
