The end of the world is still on people!
From an article about Harold Camping and his endless apocalypse predictions. My own words though, except quotes!
Chapter 1
Oh, it isn't May 21st?
The original prediction was supposedly off by a simple mathematical error, though he later stated that the 1994 end of the world prediction was really for the end of the church age. If you were part of certain corrupt churches you'd never be going to heaven.
Now that Harold Camping's second prediction hasn't come to fruition (after spending literally millions on 5,000 billboards (US and worldwide), and 20 RVs driving around the country spreading the message), he still claims that the last part of his prediction is going to come true.
The idea of the Rapture is completely unique to Protestants, but spread quickly. It's understandable--your god is going to burn and shake the earth, and eventually destroy it. Wouldn't it be nice to know that he would come and take you, the faithful follower, away from the destruction? Rapturists come in three groups: one that believes all good Christians will be Raptured before the end times with the dreadful destruction and wreckage, one that believes all good Christians will be Raptured halfway through the destruction of the Earth, and the last group believes that they will finally go to heaven after the Earth is destroyed. Those in the latter group believe that this will be a final test of their faith--to withstand the Earth's end, and the horrors that will go on during that time. Catholics believe in no Rapture, but in the end, all good Christians will still have to wait through the carnage and death. It is the final test of faith in god.
As Matthew 24:36 says 'but about that day or hour no one knows' (save god, apparently, not even Jesus will know), there is no way to predict the end of days, and all who do so are both wasting their time, but are also false prophets, and should not be listened to.
89 year old Harold Camping says he is "flabbergasted" that his prediction of the Rapture did not occur, but still clings fast to his belief in the near apocalypse. Not many paid attention to his predictions past the idea of the Rapture, but his full prediction was that Christians would be Raptured, leaving everyone else behind to endure five months of torture as the world around them fell to pieces. On October 21st, the world was to finally come to it's end, and on December 21st (why we continue with the old timeline and dates when the world is finished is unknown...), the world will be reborn for the Thousand Year Reign in which Jesus himself shall rule as King over all the Christians and Angels on this perfect Earth. At the end of this reign (during which Satan/the Devil has been locked away), Satan will finally be destroyed, and evil vanquished forever.
So, while Mr. Camping still tells the world to hold fast, it's still going to end in October (Good news for Harry Potter fans, who will be able to see the end of Deathly Hallows if the theatres are still working! But bad luck for Twilight fans, whose November release of Breaking Dawn won't actually arrive should the world end). As one of the adherents to Camping's apocalpyse prediction says:
"Maybe this had to happen for there to be a separation between those who have faith and those who don't," he said. "It's highly possible that our Lord is delaying his coming." [Michael Garcia, Family Radio's Special Projects Coordinator.]

Do you know what day in October the world will end....? I would like to turn 17, at least, before I die...
I do say it in the article, but I'll put it here for anyone else who missed it:
21st October is supposed to be the very last day of this Earth. Then it will supposedly be destroyed, and remade into a perfect Earth on the 21st of December that same "year."
Oh right, sorry, blonde moment there haha.
HAHAHA that sucks for my friend XD Her birthday is on that day. And my sister's birthday was on May 21st...
Yeah, somebody commented on one of my other quizzes that their birthday is on the 21st of October.
And it's fine. I'm sure plenty of people will end up missing the exact date!
Oh, my Gods! ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Girl, that made me and Mom crack up like you wouldn't believe!
XD I'm glad you liked it! Maybe journalism is in the cards for me?
I could see you being a journalist!
The world is not gonna end
I'm glad you managed to skip over the rest of the article. It was just a funny (though this guy actually believes it, or at least says so). I'm not endorsing it, just that it was something interesting to write about.
i think the guy has some problems or something. and what does he know!? he's a confused 89 year old!!
so, no, the world is not gonna end
Man, he is a bad mathmetician!
Yes he is!
Haha, it`s still suppose to end on my birthday. ;)
But I don`t believe a word of it.
I am convinced there is a 67% chance year 2012 shall bring arrival towards " World End ".
Now a days, the enviromental predictuments doesn't tend to sum up any literal, useful- attention.
Tht being ' typed '. This World MUST learn a lesson, DEAD Or ALIVE( Generally, people on this Planet Earth ).
What....?
Awwww.....I have a concert to go to on October 21. It's not gonna happen that day though. No on knows the hour or the day. That guy is kinda weird. I do believe in the Rapture (not sure when) and the Thousand Year reign.
