This week’s installment of Left Behind Friday will be posted shortly. Meanwhile, here’s what seems to be a trailer for the Rapture, as foretold in Jerry Bruckheimer’s Apocalypse. (I honestly can’t tell if this is intended as parody or as an earnest statement.)
Warning: This video contains the tastelessly exploitative use of footage of real world tragedies, mixed in with the Hollywood versions. Assuming this isn’t intended as some kind of parody, I have to wonder if the video’s editor(s) really appreciate the difference. The sense one gets here, as in Left Behind, is of people who find the prospect of mass destruction and apocalyptic suffering titillating.
I’m always creeped out when End Times prophecy maniacs regard things like 9/11, Katrina and the Boxing Day Tsunami with enthusiasm as signs of the hoped for apocalypse. Ethan Rayne talked a good game about “worshipping chaos,” but he had nothing on these people.
