Though the event went largely unremarked upon at the time, a report published Monday by the Kaiser Family Foundation has found that the apocalypse, or end of the world, occurred three years ago….
Heh–read it all.
The Onion–Apocalypse Actually Happened 3 Years Ago

That would have been around the time that somebody in Washington had been elected. Just a coincidence I suppose.
I had a feeling I’d missed something.
Does that make us all post-millenialists?
“…it’s safe to assume the gods have all forsaken us”
Pagan “gods” tend to do that sort of thing.
rwkachur asks:
“Does that make us all post-millenialists?”
That’s a hard question to answer in this context.
I’d say the answer is “no.” The reason is that the postmillennialists are optimistic. The premillennialists are pessimistic. This fellow is pessimistic,
“citing numerous instances of environmental disaster, humanitarian catastrophe, and economic ruin as unambiguous signs that the world had ended.”
So there’s no millennium to be built by optimistic, hopeful, forward-looking human beings.
Therefore what we have here looks like a non-Christian version of premillennialism, but without the Christian hope for the coming of Christ to usher in the New Age (which cannot be built by human hands).
They’ll make a movie about it some day. Perhaps they’ll call it
“Apocalypse Then”.
But if we saw Apocalypse Now in the past, wouldn’t we say we’d seen Apocalypse Now Then?
We may not be post-milliennialists but we could surely be considered post-trib rapturists!
