Twinkling of God's Eye

Something that I haven't thought about in a while came up in lunch:

I am terrified of the rapture because I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be Left Behind and I won't even have a best-selling series of books written about me. Whenever I don't see anyone for a while, I imagine the rapture happened and I was one of the only one's left.

But, what if the rapture happened, and only seven people were taken? And we just listed them as missing people? How would we ever know? And wouldn't that be ironic in the saddest sense?

Plus, it's supposed to happen in the twinkling of God's Eye. What if a twinkling takes a week? People who are on the good side of heaven gets translucent and start really fading on Thursday. Give people a chance to wail and say their good-byes. I think that might be the most tragic thing in the world.
