Rapture: Is May 21 the end of the world?
WaPo ^ | 11 May 2011 | Elizabeth Flock

...Even if Camping is right, Fuller Theological Seminar President Richard Mouw clarifies that May 21 is Rapture Day — the day Christians, dead and alive will meet Jesus in the sky. According to Camping, the world won’t end until Oct. 21, 2011.

Rabbi David Wolpe said we believe Camping because we like endings: The critic Frank Kermode pointed out that we assume clocks go “tick-tock” but they do not. They go “tick-tick” but we supply the “tock” in our minds because we feel the need to have an ending. Every song, every story, every life, has an ending — so must the world.

Washington Post columnist John Kelly writes about the downside and upside of the end of the world. Downside: A missed Red Sox game on the 22nd. Upside: No more “Jersey Shore.”

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.

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 end of the Christian era (10) and the ascent to heaven (17) — and these factors are doubled for added significance.

Matthew 24:36 (KJV) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Here are some recent related events that appear to verify this opinion.

One, concerning the return of Israel at the end of the age, on Apr. 14, 2011, Israel’s 63rd Memorial Day: Israel’s return to the Promised Land fulfills a prophecy in the Book of Jeremiah (Jer. 31:15-16).

Two, concerning world government: Obama was on the way to get re-elected

Three, concerning world government or a borderless world - illegal immigration peaked in 2006

Four: WAR: The Syrian civil war started, Libya went into chaos and Afghanistan and Iraq were burning. Also Ukraine and Georgia were facing off with Russia

The world IS ending on May 21, 2011

This guy is almost as bad as the climate alarmists. Every time another doomsday passes, they predict another one.

Since only the Father knows the date predicted is assured to NOT the day it will happen.

Remind me again how many times over the centuries people have claimed/asserted/predicted such......and nothing happened?

Personally, this is the type false BS that slowly turns people away from religion, the church, etc., etc.

Jesus instructs us that no man knows when its going to happen. People just refuse to listen.
