One of my friends told me that when the end of the world comes and the devil walks the earth, all electricity is going to go out and these religious candles are the ones that are going to last the longest out of all candles. Has anyone else heard that?

I've got a flashlight that does not need batteries.
If the Devil starts walking the earth, lights are going to not be a big worry

From ReligiousTolerance.org:
The American Traditional Catholic Church predicts that "the three days of darkness" will envelop the earth shortly. As a warning sign, a cross will appear in the heavens so that all can see. The family and society will fall apart. "...the gates of Hell will be opened and satan and his demons shall be released and given authority to roam the earth without limitation. There will be complete darkness for three days. " It will be as if time has come to a stand still. The only source of light will be from candles blessed according to the traditional Rites of the Church Catholic."
(Personally, I believe that there are earnest Christians today who are blindly more disciples of John the Baptist than Jesus ... concerned more with the coming Judgment than with the good news of the kingdom of God. btw - Evil already walks the earth.)

Hi,yes this is a spin off from what is called `The Three Day`s of Darkness` during which time only candles that have been blest will give out light while all other forms of light will not work,I suppose you could do a search on this if you like.

No really, all I was told was about how the end of the world is where, a few things might happen, we're killed by global warming, the devil will come and try to take us to hell, our outerspace will expand it will collapse and we'll be crushed, and alot of other stuff. Well, if it does work, its good to keep them with you even if its not the end of the world.

I can't recall any references to this in scripture. Many references to light sources in the bible symbolize Gods Truth. Darkness generally symbolizes unawareness to God, or satan's control.

Yes, I have. I don't know anything else about it, it's just that I've heard that before.

Who cares if you aren't around to maybe use them? Remember the rapture?
