And old enough to remember.
A few weeks ago in church, my mother said in 1970, the area she was living in, EVERYBODY was saying the Rapture was about to happen...weirdest thing I ever heard, and screwiest. In the Bible it makes reference to in the end of days something being as clear to see as when the leaves bloom on the fig trees. Apparently in 1970 the fig trees were blooming like crazy, something that hadn't happened for several years, and everybody around her took that as a sign that the Rapture was going to happen, and surprise surprise, nothing happened.
Now this was in 1970, she was a new mother at that time, just married the first time...and my father was in Vietnam at that time and he said over there NOBODY was paying attention to what fig trees were doing. But it's really stupid because the Bible doesn't say when the fig trees were blooming that anything would happen, only pointing out that when this thing happened you could see it as clearly as when the leaves blossom on the fig trees. But anyway, of the people here who were alive at that time, did you ever hear anything like that?
