8. Or would it go time zone by time zone?

It would seem unfair of the Almighty whichever way you slice it. If the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord™ comes at first light on the eastern side of the International Date Line, most of the world is going to get short-changed for that day. If it comes at the last light on the western side, much of the world will get an extra day before the end. Since the Greenwich Meridian wasn't set in biblical times, it seems unlikely that God would be bound by such a human convention.

It's a puzzlement.

But as to the original post, I've seen predictions for today all the way through Sunday, which is the day of the full moon. I'm sorely tempted to make some snarky response to some of the posts I see on Facebook, but maybe I'll wait until Monday just to see if the godly folks are still around to appreciate it.
