Q. Why didn't the rapture occur during the Y2K crisis on 1/1/2000 as so many godly prophets predicted?
A. This is confusing to a great many people, especially those who were prepared for the crisis on New Year's Eve 12/31/99. However, as calendar experts and top technical minds have pointed out, the 21st century doesn't really start until Jan 1. 2001! Thus the "millenium bug" (and subsequent collapse of civilization) will actually begin next New Year's eve.

Q. The Mark of the Beast sounds unsightly. Will ordinary makeup conceal this if it is as unattractive as some believe?
A. Bear in mind that 1) opinions differ as to exactly what the mark of the Beast will be; and 2) you will not be able to business without displaying it. You may have a choice as to whether your mark is on your forhead or your right hand (Rev. 14 9-10), and it may turn out to be relatively attractive -- perhaps just a small Microsoft Windows logo or Nike swoosh. At any rate, you won't want to end up embarrassed and having to wipe off heavy make-up when you need some last minute gas or a half rack of Bud Lite, so it would be preferable to use temporary coverage like a hat or scarf.

Q.My favorite TV show is "Touched by an Angel" on CBS. But I'm afraid of it being canceled when The Beast takes over the One World Government. Is there anything fans can do to keep this wonderful program from going off the air?
A. The Bible is remarkably silent regarding the effects of the Rapture on TV. It is quite possible "Touched by an Angel" will end immediately as the wonderful people who make this show are taken to be with Jesus -- possibly even Della Reese. The best way to prevent something like this from happening is probably a daily devotion to Saint Clare of Assisi, the patron saint of television.

Q.As no less an authority than Rev. Jerry Falwell as pointed out, the anti-Christ is probably on earth now, and he is a Jewish male. Given his imminent rise to power,
A. The editors of the Non-raptured Home Page, together with Harrah's of Las Vegas, have compiled the following odds on which Jewish male is the anti-Christ:
