Here's Why The World Is Going To End On May 21, 2011 (Will Harold Camping be Proven Right?)
Business Insider ^ | 04/14/2011 | Gus Lubin

We picked up a pamphlet in Union Square to see why so many people are talking about the world ending on May 21, 2011.

It turns out the theory comes down to two numerological proofs.

The first proof is based on Genesis 7:4, when God said to Noah: "Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."

When God referred to seven days, he meant both seven days and seven thousand years, because "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." The flood occurred in 4990 BC. Seven thousand years later is 2011. (Remember, there's no year 0.)

The second proof looks at the significance of the number of days between the Crucifixion and May 21, 2011.

There are 722,500 days between these dates. 722,500 is a significant number because it is composed of the significant numbers 5x10x17x5x10x17. Five signifies redemption; ten signifies completion; and 17 signifies heaven. The numbers represent the day of redemption (5) and the Christian era (10) and the ascent to heaven (17) -- and these factors are doubled for added significance.

We'll know for sure in 27 days.

Won’t be water but fire next time.

I've been saying for years that it's not the global warming we've got be worried about, but the global roasting.

Exactly right.

So when’s my pity party? We better get it going before Wednesday. As you can plainly see, I’m chock-full of woe. ;-p

However, they also pointed that out to William Miller’s followers, with little effect. I don’t think this time will be any different.

Logic didn't work for Obama's voters, either, so P.T. Barnum's maxim reigns supreme.

>>... he simply ignored the non-event and continued on with his usual Bible Study Program on the Book of Ruth.<<

What were you expecting? an apology that the world didn’t end?

Harold Camping is a false prophet!

He's also made predictions before that have not come to pass and according to Dut. 18:20-22 it only take one false prophecy to be known as a false prophet!

I do not have a massive nor any other kind of hangover, Fred! It’s hard to get one from a single tablespoon (tot) of whiskey. Stop gossiping about me at once. ;-p

You’re the one who needs a little whoa, if you ask me, you snippy face! Hah, I bet no one has ever called you *that* before.

I won’t be full of woe until [hello?] WEDNESDAY.

Oh, hi Civ. Did I leave you speechless?

Sure, yeah, right.

Not gonna even try to sober up until Wednesday.

At our age I really gotta admire that kind of stamina.

Well, I suppose there are two ways to look at this.

If the world ends in a few more days at least you had fun.

If it doesn’t, at least hose A kwhere voe will still be your friend.

Five signifies redemption; ten signifies completion; and 17 signifies heaven.

I always thought 17 signified Toledo, Ohio.

I like tequila, but I love smoky Islay malts from Scotland. So my friends will be Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Bowmore, Talisker, McClellands, and a lifetime supply (one bottle) of Cuairt Beatha, which will strip the paint off your car if you breathe on it after drinking.

And I just proved that I’m not drunk. What drunk could spell Cuairt Beatha correctly?

Really.

With as much practice as you’ve had?

The best whiskey in the world is/was Idaho Gold.

Six bucks a bottle.

The trick was to buy two.

Chug half of the first one and wait ten minutes...after that the rest went down smooth as silk.
