I believe that I have, mostly.

I had a dream in my 30's when I really believed in the rapture.

I saw a couple of homeless people sleeping in the doorway of my church.
I lady in a mink coat was having to step over them to enter the church on Sunday morning.
She and others told the pastor about it and the church prayed and prayed that God would do something about it.
They prayed that God would rid them of the all the dregs of society, rid them of these worthless people.

The next day, on all the news, there were stories of the poor, the homeless people, the prostitutes, the sick that could not go to doctors, the hungry that had just disappeared off the face of the earth.

That Sunday, the people in the church were praising God that all the worthless people were gone. They then started praying and asking God to bring the rapture.

I woke up with a smile, realizing that the rapture had come, they just missed it.

That dream was 30 years ago..

I still wish that it would happen that way.
