Guys, they have already stated that the world was going to end in 1974. Does nobody realize that the world has already ended? 
It didn't end, it's just the dolphins are gone.
Sorry, I can't keep talking (site rules).

Just an explanation of why my initial post, and those following were removed by me: I have received an answer to my question and resolved the problem to the best of my ability - none of these were theological issues.
Blessings to all of you, in the time you have left, however long that might be.
Jesus will come at an hour unexpected. Be ready or else!
"You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." — Luke 12:40
The way I see it, there's a billion Christians in the world, and far, far, more than a billion hours in each of their lifetimes. If the Rapture has to occur at an hour unexpected, then if every Christian agrees to expect the Rapture each at a different hour, then, assuming the number of Christians in the agreement doesn't significantly decline, you can stave off the end of the world forever. If my math is right, it should take about 700,000 people, assuming people can't set a new time after theirs passes and the average lifespan is 80 years. If we all concentrate our Rapture-expecting efforts on one day, our faith is wasted, because all we really need is just twenty-four people expecting the world to end on May 21st to prevent it. Come together by spreading apart, fellow Christian soldiers, and use your great powers of being wrong for good and not evil!
It would be nice if they made themselves useful that way.
Sorry; turns out my math was off, and it's really more like 700,000 - editted.
Theoretically you could just have one dude that predicts it will come in the next hour, although I'm not sure you can cancel Raptures on such short notice. They do seem to require an awful lot of planning given that it's taken 6 000 years and still nothing.

The world's about to be destroyed.
There's no point getting all annoyed.
Just lie back and the let the world dissolve around you!
So long so long and thanks for all the fish!
(Their thoughts about the world ending)
It's all over in 2 days, anyway. Not to worry.
Why, is the world ending?
Yea and then the meak will inherit the earth (and all the people who use others for personal gain go to heaven :D)
Sorry, I have to say you are wrong.
Are you claiming to know who will get into heaven?
