Harold Camping preaches that Jesus is coming on May 21, 2011.
"JUDGMENT DAY is feared by the world and is the day that God will destroy the world because of the sins of mankind. The world is correct in believing that Judgment Day will come. The Bible gives us the correct and accurate information about that Day.....Because the year 2011 A.D. is exactly 7,000 years after 4990 B.C. when the flood began, the Bible has given us absolute proof that the year 2011 is the end of the world during the Day of Judgment, which will come on the last day of the Day of Judgment.
Amazingly, May 21, 2011 is the 17th day of the 2nd month of the Biblical calendar of our day. Remember, the flood waters also began on the 17th day of the 2nd month, in the year 4990 B.C.
The Holy Bible gives several additional astounding proofs that May 21, 2011 is very accurate as the time for the Day of Judgment." Harold CampingWe have been eagerly waiting for this day. Why do we care? Because it is not just his teaching of when Jesus will come that is in error, but many other of his doctrinal teachings are in error. When the world does not end, it ought to awaken some to the fact that Harold Camping is a false prophet and his Bible teaching is not to be trusted. This is not the first time he has prophesied the end would come. He had made a similar prophecy in 1994.
From a current article on the subject:
"Once again, Harold Camping is making his prediction concerning Judgment Day, which he declares will take place on May 21. There has also been another date predicted of Dec. 21, 2012. I wonder which date is correct?
On July 16, 1994, Camping made the same prediction, when he stated the end would occur in September
Biblical scholar's date for rapture: May 21, 2011 Harold Camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will end in 2012.
"That date has not one stitch of biblical authority," Camping says from the Oakland office where he runs Family Radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world. "It's like a fairy tale."
The real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011.
The Mayans and the recent Hollywood movie "2012" have put the apocalypse in the popular mind this year, but Camping has been at this business for a long time. And while Armageddon is pop science or big-screen entertainment to many, Camping has followers from the Bay Area to China.
Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical system to interpret prophecies hidden within the Good Book. One night a few years ago, Camping, a civil engineer by trade, crunched the numbers and was stunned at what he'd found: The world will end May 21, 2011...." sourceAs Seventh-day ADVENTISTS, we understand that Jesus is coming soon. We have been giving that message boldly. The end is at hand, but not in May of this year. The Bible is clear in regards to our being able to know that the return of Jesus is near. There are signs that tell us. This forum, Signs of the Times directs our minds to events that point to His soon coming. Just a boldly as we preach the soon return, I also say that Jesus is not coming in May of 2011. There remains some specific Bible prophecies that must happen before Jesus comes. They can happen rapidly, but they will not happen in the next three months.
2012 is a date that many in the world are thinking that the end may come. There too, are many false prophecies. So, we await that date when many will understand that they have trusted to the wrong "teachers". The Bible is to be our counselor and our guide. There we find a safe source of information regarding the end of the world.
The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him and at an hour when he is not aware...Be ye therefore ready, also for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not. Luke 12:26, 24:40.The wise will understand as the time approaches that it is near. There are many signs in the Bible. We have noted these verses and are pointing to the signs of the times as they occur. We will not name a day or an hour when the Son Man will come. That is not for us to know.
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mark 13:32
