End of the World to Begin May 21, 2011

Believe it when it happens

I'll believe it when it happens. It'll irritate me if it does happen right after I finish my BA. The millerites preicted it for two separate dates in 1844. Nostradamus, saint ophelia who else? It amazes me how many people fall into that sinkhole. Neil

I'm sure when it doesn't happen there'll be a plan B just like with nostradamus in 1999,soon got forgotten about to be replaced by 2012.

Worlds end all the time - big deal. Some world somewhere ends every day so the prediction can't miss.

Is it 21st May for everyone? If so, then we can get a rough idea of the time of the day, because the Aussies etc start 21st before the UK and the US starts it even later. So we're looking for some point in time where it's 21st May for everyone.

That's right. Here in the U.S. we will be watching closely. If you guys get it then we will repent on the spot and be saved. Pretty sweet, eh?

What I find so amazing is that these people who consider themselves Bible scholars apparently missed the passage in the New Testament where Jesus says that only the Father knows when this will happen.

There is a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts and websites, independent of churches who are convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin on May 21, 2011.

To get the word out, they're using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street corners. Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have billboards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling in countries from Latin America to Africa to spread the news outside the U.S.

Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio Worldwide, the independent Christian ministry whose leader, Harold Camping, has calculated the May 21 date based on his reading of the Bible.

Camping, 89, believes the Bible essentially functions as a cosmic calendar explaining exactly when various prophecies will be fulfilled.

"Beyond the shadow of a doubt, May 21 will be the date of the Rapture and the day of judgment," he said.
