May 21st, 2011 Judgment Day Revealed Bible The
Well, it seems like Camping broke the silence and continues saying the end of the world will be in October and oh...that Judgment Day did took place but "spiritually".
Family Radio was looking at the Bible in too much of an earthly fashion when it predicted a great earthquake on May 21, 2011 would mark the beginning of judgment day, said Harold Camping, president and general manager, Monday.
Rather, May 21 was a day when God's judgment came on the world spiritually, Camping said. But Family Radio is sticking to its original assertion that the world will literally come to a fiery end on Oct. 21, 2011.
Camping came out of seclusion and broke his silence on Family Radio's regularly scheduled "Open Forum Monday," which began at 8:30 p.m. EST in Oakland, Calif. The "Open Forum" is usually a program where callers, including Camping's most harshest critics, can call in ask questions about the Bible live on the air. But this "Open Forum," on May 23, was reserved for reporters to ask several questions of Camping.
Originally, Camping boldly predicted to followers on his radio show that judgment day would begin in New Zealand with a devastating earthquake that would begin at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 21, 2011, and then it would proceed to ripple across the Earth as 6 p.m. hit each time zone. Many people kept a watchful eye for news reports out of New Zealand, which is 16 hours ahead of the East Coast in the United States. When the earthquake failed to happen, critics quickly declared Camping's prediction a bust.
Based on figures given in Revelation 9, Camping said it was a strong possibility that God would save 200 million people during the Rapture and bring them into heaven. Meanwhile, the rest of the world would perish or experience hell on Earth until Oct. 21, 2011, when the world and the universe would be destroyed by fire.
"When May 21 came and went, it was a very difficult time for me, a very difficult time," said Camping, 89, a retired civil engineer and co-founder of Family Radio. "I was truly wondering, what is going on? In my mind, I went back through all of the promises that God has made and all the proofs and signs. I really, really was praying, 'Oh Lord, what happened?'"
Camping read a supportive letter from a woman who wrote that God would not cause a devastating earthquake to occur on May 21 because it would cause too much suffering. Because God is merciful, he would cause the Rapture and the final fiery destruction to both happen on Oct. 21, 2011, so that no one would undergo prolonged suffering.
