RE: That Day will come as a trap on all the world

As I left work, my bicycle's back tire was flat... I had to walk home, carrying the bike. I then discovered a puncture, replaced the inner tube. Was that a sign of the rupture?
Yesterday, my dad underwent surgery... the doctors say everything went well and he's recovering well, too. However, today and tomorrow, the nurses are on strike.... is this a sign of the rupture?
Today (actually, 2 days ago, but who cares?!), the new 10 euro bank notes entered circulation.... is this a sign of the rupture?
Today, I finished downloading the entire second season of the mysterious cities of gold, for the kids.... is this a sign of the rupture?
Today, my vice-boss asked me if I had a piece of code that did a somewhat specific thing he needed. I did have such code and gave it to him... And the code did something even better than he expected. Is this a sign of the rupture?
Today, I barely missed getting soaked by rain. Is this a sign of the rupture?
The apple I ate after dinner was really bitter. Is this a sign of the rupture?

Yes. A lot of very unspecific things.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Is this September 25th in any specific timezone, or will "That Day" just sweep the globe, one timezone at a time?
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?

So tomorrow is the big day eh? Wait hey esquilax what's the date and time down under?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

How exactly does one specify the unspecific? Seems to be a contradiction afoot.

It's 8:21am on the 25th in Melbourne, 10:21am in Auckland, and early afternoon at 12:21pm in Kiribiti. Hell, it's the 25th in the majority of Europe.

It is now the 25th. It has been for several hours, and just now a Kookaburra started making noise in the park next door. Shit is totally proceeding as normal. 
No rapture news on the... news, either. And for "professor," no news is bad news.

The first 30 minutes of the 25th have passed in Italy as well. The Vatican is still here. (But I guess it doesn't matter, they are not True Christians™)
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Sitting in an old gum tree, no doubt.
It's all part of the conspiracy, man.
