Harold Camping Prepares for Judgement Day, May 21, 2011

You have determined May 21, 2011 is Judgment Day. What do you predict will happen?

It might be just one great earthquake, then as it gets to be May 21 in any other country—there will be a great earthquake there.

So earthquakes could occur around the world for 24 hours? By the end of 24 hours the whole world will be destroyed.

The purpose of the earthquake is three-fold: it will be enormously destructive as God is destroying the earth. Secondly, the people who died as true believers will come out of their tombs with their glorified spiritual bodies and will be caught up to be with Christ.

All of the remains of unbelievers-carcasses—the bones will be thrown out of the grave and be like dung or manure—because they will be shamed in the eyes of God as a final of consequence of God's wrath.

God created mankind in his image and likeness to serve him, to obey him. But when mankind rebelled against God, they came unto what is openly demanded by the laws of God, which is death.

The way people of Nineveh prepared when Jonah came there. Jonah said in 40 days God will destroy you. They did three things: One they sat in sack cloth and ashes—they humbled themselves before God. Secondly, they pleaded with God, they begged him that this might not happen. Thirdly, they recognized they were wicked and turned from their sins–they realized God’s wrath was on them because of their sins.

"It's best, though, to try to be ready in season and out of season, and to live every day as though it were our last. "

With that, I agree wholeheartedly!

IF tomorrow, the 21st, were the Rapture, that would be fine with me (especially since today, May 20th, my wife and I are celebrating the long-anticipated 50th anniversary of our Christian marriage!) :-)

However, I accept no man's authority to place arbitrary and inflexible interpretations on the "meanings" of "numeric values" within Scripture -- particularly whimsical ones like the decimal [Arabic] fraction mis-applied by Camping to force the number 5 to have a particular significance. That is nothing but pure, personal, sinful vanity!!

And I abhor the audacity of anyone who would insist that they have special insight to place authoritative interpretations on such vanities!

God's Word is exactly that; His WORD (not His number[s]).

"I guess Camping's interpretation is as good as any other in its situation at a statistical spike in the probability domain."

"as good as" = "as bad as" = WORTHLESS (if not actually evil and sinful hubris...)
