OKLAHOMA CITY -- A Christian group said Monday night it believes the end of the world is on May 21, 2011.
Tom Evans, the group's spokesman, said he believes Harold Camping -- the president of Family Stations, Inc. -- has mathematically computed judgment day based on signs from the Bible.
"We believe that God has built into the Bible a timetable of events," Evans said.
The group has put up a website, familyradio.com, to make its prediction known.
Evans said the group has started a national movement to let people prepare for the end of the world. In Oklahoma City, a billboard paid for by the group reads "Noah knew."
"It took Noah 120 years to build the ark, and during that time Noah was telling everyone God is going to bring a flood. Only eight people survived the flood," Evans said.

This group is not Christian.
That`s Saturday night, Poker night!
Agreed.
Shoot, I just took out a three year lease on my car :(
I agree - what they are is disobedient.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;..”
Along with ‘no one knows the day or hour’...
If the followers start giving away their worldly possessions, let me know.
America Guarantees January, 2013, Judgment Day
What they are saying is totally opposite of what the Bible says.
It does say there are signs to watch for but it also says no one knows precisely, only the Lord.
If these nut-wads are real - then are they selling their homes, cars and all their possessions right now? To raise money to buy air-time to warn the world?
If not - why not?
How are these people going to explain on May 22 when the world is still here?
Another bunch of fools like the Millerites who in the 1800’s gave away all their possessions and went and stood on a hill waiting for the end of the world. Clearly it never happened.
The time of end of the world is only known by God, not man. See you on the 22nd.
Assuming the second coming happens within 10,000 years of the first coming, they technically have a one in 3 million chance of being right.
And if you eliminate the past 2,000 years, that increases their chances to one in 2.4 million.
Better odds than the lottery.
Eventually, someone will be right on.
Rain delay. :-)
I saw these guys’ convoy last Saturday here in Durham. Five identical RVs, professionally painted messages on the side, with some cars mixed in (all with California plates). They’re over here in North Carolina right now, I guess on the “Screw the Mayan Calendar, We’re Ahead of Them By One Year” World Tour.
I read their website. It’s a little...weird.

I’m embarrassed for them. Are they saying ‘that day’ is the start of....or ‘that day’ is the end?
Gotta get to Confession on May 20.
And what exactly IS the “end of the world.” This false prophet doesn’t even know rudimentary theology.
Is it the rapture of His Church?
Is it the binding of Satan?
Is it Armegeddon?
Doesn’t he know that Christ will physically reign one thousand years on earth? How could he if it “ends?”
Isn’t this the same group that used the exact same day only the year 2001? I guess it’s at first you don’t succeed...
Couldn’t they have predicted it would happen before April 15? I could then claim that as the excuse for not doing my income taxes.
