Post-Rapture Thought

It would have been interesting if, the morning after the preacher had predicted the Rapture, we had awoken to find that all the people were still here-- but all the computers had vanished.

? They were expecting Rapture at 6pm local time? And they were
using their watch to wait for it? Since when would we be imposing
Daylight Savings Time and Universal Time upon God? Myself I am about 42
min difference between UT and natural time (noon truly peak position of
sun), putting the expectation to about 7:42 pm. I think the weatherman
called the all-clear for Rapture at about 6:21pm, but gave a chance for
thunderstorms overnight.
