I heard before about 2012 prediction for End of World but another shocking news came to heard today prediction made by Harold Egbert Camping, a Christian radio broadcaster and president of Family Radio Stations, for christian religious broadcasting network, teaches that a Biblical calendar has been hidden according to Daniel 12:9, Revelation 22:10 detailing the imminent end of the world (with alleged Biblical evidence pointing to the date for the Rapture as May 21, 2011 The Judgment Day End of World); as it is the “end of the church age” (which asserts that churches are no longer the vehicle used by God for salvation, 1 Peter 4:17) and of predestination (Ephesians 1:4-5), according to which God determined before the beginning of the world which individuals are to be saved.
He also suggested that selected people will be taken up in the Rapture, while others are doomed by a huge earthquake, and other calamities, he suggested. In an effort to get their message out, Camping’s organization has rented out billboard space across the US announcing the end date 21st May 2011.
So apparently Camping believes that mathematical system he created to interpret prophecies hidden in the Bible.
I don’t believe his prediction and it’s worth nothing because it’s not the first time that Camping has predicted the end of the world. He already used his mathematical system to predict September 6, 1994 was Judgement Day but expired.
So How Did Camping Come Up with That Date Exactly?
Quoting Wikipedia:
Camping calculates date of the crucifixion of Christ as Friday April 1, AD 33. Not all commentators agree with that date. Hoehner argues for April 3, 33 A.D. Other students of the subject have placed the event in AD 29, 30, or 31.
Camping further calculates that the Rapture is 722,500 days after the crucifixion of Christ. From April 1 to May 21 is 51 days. Additionally, multiplying using the same math Camping uses returns an approximation of the remaining days. Using his date of April 1, AD 33, a total of 1978 years multiplied by 365.2425 days/year (Gregorian calendar) results in 722,449.66 days. Multiplying by 365.2422 (tropical year, seven significant digits) results in 722,449.07 days. Multiplying by 365.24219 (tropical year, eight significant digits) results in 722,449.05 days. If one accounts for leap seconds, each year is slightly longer than the previous. Since 1972 to 2011, the earth rotates 24 seconds slower. This is a difference of 0.000278 day over 39 years, for an average of only 0.000007 day per year.
Headache. Not good in Math here.
Now, he may look like a short-haired Gandalf but I’m not buying Camping’s calculations. Because –
1. He’s already incorrectly predicted Rapture in the past. More then ten years ago, he said that the End will happen in September 1994, which obviously never occured.
2. I know for sure that ONLY God knows when the End will be.
Let me know what you say about he prediction via comments?
I thought it was originally predicted as December 21st 2012 ??
1st it was predicted on 21st December 2012 according to end of Mayan Calendar by now one more prediction made by a Christ preacher.
as far as i know no one knows when judgment day will come therefore i do not believe any of this
its silly to me 
God himself only knows when it’ll come and he’ll come like a thief in the night 
yes, ur absolutely correct alexis.. I strongly agree wd u.. ONLY GOD KNOWS.. we should not make any predictions that will only bother the minds of everybody..
You’re right Alexis, and since we do not know Jesus said we should always watch and pray. We do not know the day or the hour, but He has given us signs that it is near. So let’s watch as if May 21, 2011 or any other day is the day when Christ returns or the end of the age. It will not hurt to believe and He does not come on that day and you’re ready. But it will hurt if He comes on that day and you’re NOT ready. And I do not Harold Camper, I’m just saying.
Amen to that…!!
I also heard its the same guy that predicted the world was going to end September 7th 1994. : |
September 6th* Sorry I didn’t read the story I just saw end of world may 21 2011 and decided to post that.
I dont know why we r so eager to know when the world will end and why is it that we spend our time thinking about it – if everything will end so will we – i strongly believe – anticipation of pain is greater than the pain itself. then why live in pain??
why do different people say different things? why does everyone want to be the link to god? mayan calender ends so the world will end! wow…. i mean this is utter nusance…in this age of science do we still believe in some culture which ended way back in history ?? guys this is absolutely absert !
preying to the all mighty for a peaceful dealth is a different thing but this is wierd…
End of the world as we know it, not the physical destruction of the planet.
The Camping followers are in for a rude awakening, that which they expect
(the return of Christ), has already taken place.
The Faithful Witness(Yeshua/Duke)
So, if the world is going to end in less than one month, I wonder how many of the ‘believers’ have given up work to spend their last days with their families? Or done the things they’ve always dreamed of – whether that’s changing their hair colour or riding a huge roller coaster? Some would no doubt say that would not be what God wanted – hang on a minute? God is loving and kind, so surely would want people to spend time with those they love most dearly! So back to the original question – I wonder how many of the ‘believers’ have devoted their last days to family time? If not, why not? Is it perhaps that they themselves are not truly certain that the would will end when they say? I’m not anti religion, far from it in fact, but I find the scare mongering offensive. If God wanted us to know when the end will be, he’d tell us, loud and clear, not by some cryptic message thousands of years old. Sorry!
haaaaaa stupid western people
I believe the Christ himself only know when it will end. It is not up to us to predict this and even tho you are chrisian doesn’t give you the right to broadcast it knowning you were wrong before. How many time must you predict lies and scare some people. Just leave it be. When the end comes, it will come.
I believe that you don’t have to go to church every Sunday for you to believe in GOD or be religious. As long as you, yourself in your heart and soul believe there is GOD, then you recognize him automaticly in your life.
But this man just need to stop predicting something he MIGHT just be guessing at. Just stop the insane of abusing your beliefs with lies. Just like I said before….let the end come when GOD himself decide when that will be. Beside I agree with everything ALEXIS said. He will come when he is ready.
You’re all fucking stupid.
There will be no ‘end of the world’ not this year, nor next.
There will be no ‘rapture’
No ‘second coming’.
It’s all a total load of bullshit, and you’re all stupid to buy it.
It amazes me how so called men of God can predict such events. Secondly that his church / followers can support this vision. Where is the spiritual decrement of Christians in the world today. It is so sad as the church of Christ is supposed to be the light to the world and unfortunately we have religious men claiming such events and the world just looks at this and laughs. My heart is broken for the church and we need true men of God to rise up … May the Lord help us.
Mark 13:32-37
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come.
I wonder if repentance will be found in this man heart after 21 May 2011.
Would someone tell me where these believers are locates plz….. i want them to sell me their properties or even give me for free if possible…..i really dont understand whats wrong with us humans, we tend to figure and fix up everything for us……the Bible states clearly that no ONE not even Jesus knows his second coming….Only God Knows.
I give you ma account number you transfer something to it……..
The Man Behind May 21, 2011 Judgment Day Prophecy
Yea…i survived the rapture!!!!
this time.:)
He (CAMPING) Say’s …
Dont miss the next “RAPTURE”
for no less then $19.95
I guesss the old geezer was wrong.
Did this arrogant blowhard/crackpot really believe that God wanted to turn the Bible into a math. book and that he would allow only Camper to figure it otu and play Paul Revere to the world? lol
