JUDGEMENT DAY; Is this #### or is the world really going to end at 6pm tomorrow?!
 

Saturday is last day on earth, claims evangelical Christian

Harold Camping, 89, wrongly predicted 'the rapture' date once before in 1994

God's chosen few ascend to heaven, sinners left behind to face earthquakes.

Atheists hold parties to celebrate 'inevitable embarrassment'

Christian author calls Camping's prediction 'flat-out wrong'


The world will end at 6pm tomorrow according to the followers of an evangelical Christian minister, who claims he calculated the date and time of 'The Rapture' by adding up numbers in the Bible.

Harold Camping, 89, is the leader of Family Radio, an independent ministry which spreads its word via a network on 66 radio stations and online broadcasts.

Camping has previously written a book called '1994?', in which he wrongly predicted the end of the world in that year, and was later forced to apologise for a mathematical error.

The Rapture is supposedly the time when God's chosen people ascend to heaven and the rest are left behind to face apocalyptic scenes of earthquakes and fire.

A period of 'trial' on earth for non-believers is forecast to follow and could last six months, but by October 21 all those who have not been saved will be dead, goes the prophecy.

The concept of Judgment Day is a long-standing one, but the idea of the Rapture is more modern, having first appeared in Christian teaching in the 19th century.

However, this predicted date is entirely the work of Camping and his followers, who have spent decades studying the bible for coded messages.

So certain is he of his revised date, following on from his 1994 embarrassment, that he and his followers have spent millions of dollars on billboards across America that have been warning for weeks: 'Judgment Day is coming May 21st, 2011 – The Bible guarantees it!'

I don't believe for a second that anybody can predict when the world will end. The guys got it wrong before and he's gotten it wrong again.

ETA There is a verse in the Bible (I can't remember off the top of my head which verse it is.) that basically says nobody knows when the world will end other than God. If Harold Camping spent as much time reading his Bible as he does playing with his calculator he'd save himself a whole load of embarassment :-)

Oh I sure hope so. This week has been so boring.
Just kidding. Besides, who actually believes these "end of the world" hoaxes anyway?

ill believe it when it happens ;)

If they're so anxious to be saved, shouldn't they have spent those millions of dollars trying to make the world a better place?

I have no idea how this got to be a big story

Yuh.

Religious leaders, y u no learn to Bible?!

If it ends tomorrow, it ends tomorrow. If it doesn't, it doesn't. But the world was apparently meant to end on 06.06.06 and well, we're all still alive. So I don't believe it. But if it does then I just want to say that it was nice knowing you all

See Im Not Delusional Everyone Says Im Delusional And Wants Me In Hospital Because The Devil Is Coming To Get Me.

See Im ****ing Right.

Omg The Devil Is Coming To Get Me..

Help...

The devil prefers chat so as long as you stay in the forums you should be ok.

In the last 25 years its apparently supposed to have ended lots of times times, did it? no.

Bullshit.

Well, I hope to live through the rapture, since I was looking forward to dying in the zombie apocalypse instead.

i sure hope not, ill be at work at 6 tomorrow and i would prefer not to die with my work collegues! i would much rather die with my family or friends!

maybe i should ask for the day off?! :-p

But but but... Who will look after your pets once you've died?

I know!

Matt. 24:36 "But of that day and hour NO ONE KNOWS, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."

Mat 24:42 "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming."

They may not be the exact words, but they are to that effect.

Shall I not bother revising for my exams next week then?? Awesome.

Ive been really depressed lately.. so lets just hope he's right :/

Deuteronomy 25, 11-12 :
If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.
