Getting Rapture Ready: What to Wear to Heaven

As I try to prepared for tomorrow’s rapture into heaven, I naturally thought of what I wanted to wear to heaven. That’s a big question. Think about it. So I did. But according to some, we would go naked. However, if they are wrong and we did indeed make the trip wearing whatever we had on at the time of the rapture, which I heard somewhere is around 5 p.m. tomorrow, that could be embarrassing.  Trying to understand and visualize such event, I googled the rapture so I could see what it would look like. Here’s what I found:

rapture clothed

According to this interpretation, Christians will be raptured fully clothed. They also will be dragged up as some of these people look like they are not wanting to go while others are flying up with open arms.

rapture

According to this interpretation, Christians that are raptured will look like Tinkerbell and glow from excess pixie dust.

This guy decided that only the slim and athletic will make it to heaven. Or those who are raptured will be turned into slim and athletic people. In this case, pass the ice cream!

I still haven’t answered the big question: What should I wear?

If we go naked, then all bets are off, including our pants and our apparel doesn’t matter. Now if we go up clothed I’m going to wear white. Think about every movie scene shot in heaven you’ve seen. What are people wearing? White. That’s right. Whether they are wearing togas, moo moos, or a suit, people in heaven always wear white. Angels have been sporting white attire longer than we have and they look marvelous. And since we’re going to have new bodies, you don’t have to worry about looking bad carrying excess weight in your revealing whites. Yeah.

What’s your take? Are you getting your best whites on?

     This smells like a conspiracy. How much did the cotton and bleach industries pay you to  force feed us this propaganda?

     I’m wearing something comfortable, but yet elegant.

     It’s not a “conspiracy” as much as a simple “sponsorship.”

    I’m not sure what that is, but I hope it at least matches. When my kids say comfortable they usually mean fatigues.

     I’m pretty sure all the movies have it wrong.  If heaven is paradise…it will be like San Diego…and I’ll need to have on a nice hawaiian shirt

     I’m gonna shave my legs in case of nude rapture!

    I think Hawaiian shirts came with the fall of mankind. :)

     Oh Maurilio – so grateful I read this before I got dressed this morning! Thank you!
    Be ready!

    Maurilio. Just remember that those who are slim and athletic on earth have “already received their reward”. I plan on looking better than you in heaven. I’ll wear white.

  • Christian

    On second thought, I suggest you get a tan just in case we’re raptured in our birthday suits. I’d hate for you to be the one to blind Jesus.

    Gold of course.  Why you all would not wear gold passes me by.

    I just want the bride to be pretty. :)

     @concerned543:disqus Gold is tricky since, as you know, the streets of heaven are paved with it. So then it would look like we’re wearing asphalt in heaven’s context. That just would not do.

     I’m hoping we go naked frankly. I want a perfect body & better wardrobe. *Kidding*

    Thank you, oh dear dispenser of all things fashion forward. I feel so much more prepared. And, even though the approximate time for this specific rapture has come and gone,  I know that 2012 is also predicted by some as a possible end of the world. I am relieved knowing that I have almost a year to choose just the right thing. I am thinking lace. And maybe chiffon. It would flow nicely… ;)

     If you didn’t make it, you most definitely should go to church. Provided you pastor is still around.

    @6d8c1f2a245f7bf3bac2b055f9500a7d:disqus you don’t strike me as a chiffon kind of girl. I can see some cool lace, however. It’s making a come back :)

     I want a perfect body and a better wardrobe and I’m not kidding.
