Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical system to interpret prophecies hidden within the Good Book. One night a few years ago, Camping, a civil engineer by trade, crunched the numbers and was stunned at what he’d found: The world will end May 21, 2011.
This is not the first time Camping has made a bold prediction about Judgment Day.
On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping’s believers gathered inside Alameda’s Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years. Followers dressed children in their Sunday best and held Bibles open-faced toward heaven.
But the world did not end. Camping allowed that he may have made a mathematical error. He spent the next decade running new calculations, as well as overseeing a media company that has grown significantly in size and reach.
When Jebesus and his rapture do arrive, I hope we have warp drive by that time so that we can reverse chain linked takion drives and route their power thru a deflector shield and finally defeat Jebesus. After all, when he actually enters our universe, what is he but an adverse alien combatant to be dealt with?
Advise everyone to include at least a 3 day reminder on Outlook. Don’t be caught doing something bad!
christrians may end up failing their god if they do not build a starship capable of FTL speed.
The unbelievers keep asking why a god needs a starship.
christrains please donate to NASA if you want to please your god.
Camping is probably getting rich selling “End of the World” T-shirts.
Interesting how Harold Camping knows what Jesus The Christ said is unknown to any man nor angel. I guess when Camping received his engineering degree he also picked up his G-O-D! lol!
Whoa–an engineering theologian…with Debbie Harry supplying the tunes.
My guess is that Mr. Camping, at the age of 88, will have his own personal rapture before too long…
To say the end is near would only excite a homosexual.
X-Day was supposed to be July 5th, 1998, but due to a math error, it’s actually May 7th, 8661. So it goes.
And did he do this with the oldest Greek and Aramaic texts or some translation?
Just asking.
The Bible says numerology is twaddle but do these guys actually read the thing? Nope!
I’d have as much confidence in this guy if he’d crunched numbers on a Harry Potter book.
He’ll make money on the talk show circuit and selling his book.
You all should read “The Newest Pretrib Calendar” on Google. It’s a hoot! Tim
Well if I ever win the lottery, I won’t get the 20 year annuity for sure.
There will be no rapture in 2011 or any other time. But the way the world’s going eventually we’ll ALL be praying for it! Guaran-damn-teed.
Christians make fun of Camping. I wonder what Bible he reads because it does not resemble my Bible or I can’t reach the conclusions he reaches by reading the Bible.

I crunched those numbers from all the HP books.
And it reads that in 2013 Voldemort returns.
In other words, the author will need some cash by 2012.

while not a rapture.. there is talk that the 2012 event math is off…and is actually Oct 28, 2011.
if you start seeing “very odd” “spiral” magnetics/plasma energy coming from the cosmos around this time, hold onto your hat..we will learn the true meaning of Continental Drift.
elsewhere….pay attention to the WISE spacecraft NASA launched recently..it’s looking for the brown dwarf they spotted in 2007 that is “perturbing” the orbits of the outer planets…

prophet motive.
BUT, WHAT IF IT DOES HAPPEN??? WHAT WILL YOU DO.??? NOTHING, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF THIS WORLD/UNIVERSE….GOD IS.

But what if Santa Claus really exists? You’ll get coal in your stocking! What if Zeus really exists and gets angry because you have not been making animal sacrifices to him? What if Flying Spaghetti monster really exists? He’ll turn you into a pirate! What if [fill-in mythical event du jour] exists? What will you do?
May God have mercy on us all.
This world has only 16 months left. After that it will end with the Rapture on May 21, 2011, huge world wide earthquake, world wide destruction due to stars, meteors, exploding in space and falling to earth and end of the universe on October 21, 2011
there are exactly 7000 years form the flood to the year 2011, and May 21, 2011 is the 17th day of the second month in the Hebrew calendar (the Bible tells us that the flood occurred on the 17th day of the second month. This time path was discovered long after the date was already in view from studying the Bible. What are the chances of that? There is an incredible amount of information that this ancient and Holy Book gives about time and Judgment. This information is from an ancient calendar. I hope and pray this may spark someones interest to actually search out the matter. God is not dependent on our opinions and witty remarks. Fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of man and if you examine yourself you will find that you have fallen very short of that duty!!! Cry to Him for Mercy because Christ must be your substitute or else you will be destroyed for your own sins there is no excuse!!!
