Note that May 21 is not supposed to be the end of the world as many keep saying, but Oct. 21. May 21 is when the believers are raptured.
Camping will have a lotta ‘splainin’ to do if 22 arrives and there has been no Rapture. On the other hand....
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this May 21, date was inspired by Satan. Yep, and Camping is his tool. It makes a laughing stock out of Christians. Remember Y2K and how many people felt stupid the day after? To this day, a lot of them feel burned and won’t consider ever preparing like that again. The same will hold true of this Judgement Day fiasco. People will feel burned and turn against God and the teachings of the Bible, only this time there really WILL be a Judgement Day, in God’s timing, and they won’t be ready.
There’s a billboard here in rural Maryland from the Camping organization espousing that date. Interestingly enough, they left off the year 2011. It only says May 21st. On May 22nd Harold will go missing—gone camping. :)
I’m still unclear on how a person who believes in Jesus Christ is supposed to “prepare” for Rapture and/or Judgment Day. If you have faith in Christ, aren’t you pretty much prepared, either for “End Times” activity or your own death?

I wonder how many Christians get their faith destroyed by folks like this and Paula White and Benny Hinn
This date is on a billboard on Buford Hwy in Atlanta. Presumably Camping financed it.
In the summer of 1844, Millerite Adventists came to believe that Jesus would return on October 22, 1844, understood to be the Biblical Day of Atonement for that year. When this did not happen, most of his followers disbanded and returned to their original churches.
Yeah, Harold Camping is a nutjob cultist. I used to catch Camping’s radio and television shows every once in a while when I lived in Oakland, California in the 1990’s and early 2K’s. Camping predicted Christ would return in September of 1994. Didn’t happen, now did it?
Camping also twists scripture and teaches “the end of the church age,” preaching that all churches are from Satan and Christians need to leave their churches and get all their spiritual and Biblical needs met by keeping their dials tuned to the Family Radio network.
Nutjob cultist. Period!
Cheers
What part of no one knows the day or the hour do people like this not understand?
If you are interested, here is some more information about Harold Camping’s heretical teachings:

I particularly liked the title of the last paragraph in that Camping is always telling Christians to flee from the church:
FLEE FROM HAROLD CAMPING!
Sound advice that will serve you well.
Cheers
We will leave this earth when it is our time and not before. No human being can predict when or where. I have faith in my Lord and Savior and so therefore I live each day as I should and hopefully, when my time comes I will be forgiven. Everyone should just stop worrying and do what you are supposed to do on a daily basis and just move on.
See ya all back here on May 22nd!
Not much doubt in my mind that that Day will arrive in our lifetimes. Look around you! look at the news folks! It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that Day arrives before the end of the Obamanation’s reign.
But I am smart enough to know that I can’t know the exact date when the Day is going to come.
People are trying to cash in early on EOTW before 12/12/12.
In the religion section of the paper Saturday, there was an article about a man who is an athiest and is cashing in on the whole Rapture concept.
He is offering insurance for the pets of those who expect to be caught up in the Rapture. After the Rapture, he guarantees that he or someone in his employ will locate your pet and make sure it is cared for and placed in a good home.
The insurance is a one time purchase and is good for 10 years.
I heard him years ago he said it would take place in 1994
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. (Berton J. Biblical scholar’s date for rapture: May 21, 2011. January 1, 2010. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/01/01/BA8V1AV589.DTL&feed=rss.news).
