Using the same theory that if every person in China stood on a chair, then all jumped off at the same time, it would knock Earth out of orbit and kill us all. All well and good until you realize that the mass of the Earth is about 6 sextillion tons. So even if each Chinese person weight 1 ton, there would still be eight zeroes ahead of them in line, each person having to push the equivalent of a hundred million times their own weight.
In this case, the Earth is covered with tectonic plates, like a broken eggshell with eight major pieces and several more little pieces. If, by “little”, you mean immense hunks of rock miles deep.
They kind of shuffle around, slowly, each at their own pace, and when two of them collide, rock either goes up or goes down, in fits and starts, and you get earthquakes. Mostly concentrated near where plates meet.
But there just isn’t anything to force earthquakes all at once, everywhere, unless a gigantic astral body collides with Earth, and if that happens, earthquakes are the least of our problems.
I listen to Family Radio for the music. The station features traditional Christian hymns and gospel songs, not the boring “praise” music or insipid “contemporary Christian” recordings found on most other Christian stations. However, when Camping comes on and starts talking, I turn to another station.
***on that date a massive earthquake will shake the world apart, littering the ground with ‘many dead bodies’.***

“Since a generation of judgment is forty years and the Tribulation period lasts seven years, I believe the Lord could come back for His Church any time before the Tribulation starts, which would mean any time before 1981. (1948 + 40 - 7 = 1981).” (Hal Lindsey, The Late Great Planet Earth)

Mr. Camping, before he became obsessed with worshiping numbers, used to say something quite correct - which I'll paraphrase: '150,000 people die a day. You could be one of them. If you are, it is the "End Time" for you. Are you ready? Are you resting in Christ's finished work - or are you going on like you have an infinite number of 'tomorrows'?'
We have a life to live - but keep your eyes on eternity and on Christ. Because HE is our Peace and all our Hopes.
My birthday is 5/21 so I guess I won’t make any plans for a party.
These nutcases passed through my town not long ago. They had a whole caravan of trucks, RVs and goodness only knows what, so I guess there’s money behind this.
It’s a pity they’re so nutty, because I occasionally listen to Family Radio for the music.
But Our Lord did tell us not to worry about the dates and times and I prefer His words to theirs.
Are they giving away their stuff?
Sort of like Heaven’s Gate and Jim Jones on wheels

Just read my tag line.
They must be left overs of the Heaven’s Gate Cult.
“Despite his conviction, Camping has predicted the world would end before - on September 4 1994.
That, he says, was a mistake, a misreading of the biblical codes used to decipher the exact date of the ‘rapture’.”
It is amazing how things never change.
In the 1840s, Seventh Day Adventist forerunner William Miller and founder Ellen G. White made similar false prophecies about the date of the end of the world, and there are still millions who follow their false, unbibilical teachings today.
Later, the JWs made similar predictions (for 1914 I believe) and they still have millions of gullible members.
Camping predicted the world would end 17 years ago and he still has gullible followers who ignore the Scriptures and believe him when he resets the dates.
If the Lord tarries, in 100 years, Camping might have millions more followers than he has today.
Arm a gedden outta here!
I wish some rich dude would publicly challenge these nuts to a $1,000,000 bet that the end of the world does NOT occur on May 21st, and for them to also show the specific passage in the Bible that guarantees it.
One dumb question. Why are they posing for the camera?
So on May 20th I should ask them to give me their wallets?
Harold Camping... oh boy.
