Judgement Day is coming

Some Say Judgment Day Will Take Place Saturday, May 21, 2011

Harold Camping predicts Christ will return on May 21, 2011.

Judgment Day is just a few days away. Christ will return on May 21, 2011, according to Harold Camping, founder of We Can Know radio.

Camping has been spreading the word about the final days via his Christian Network (that consists of a radio station and companion website), www.wecanknow.com.

We Can Know is the organization behind a series of biblical billboards that bear the date of the Rapture. The organization’s philosophy is that, “We can know something about how God will behave in the future by looking at how He has behaved in the past (Hebrews 13:8). Since He has given advance notice of the precise timing for judgment in the past, we should not be surprised that He is revealing the timing of the end today.”

The We Can Know end of the world campaign has included bumper stickers, pamphlets and even a few mainstream interviews to get the message out.

Follower Kevin Brown said to NPR that God has told him to spread the word about May 21, 2011. “People need to know,” Kevin Brown told NPR, “and God commands us to share the Gospel about the end of the world. He says if we do not share the Gospel then their blood will be on our hands, whether they believe or not. God’s been moving me to do this.”

Camping arrived at the date by the Good Book, which he says predicts that the Rapture is to occur 7,000 years after God’s first warning about the flood. Camping said the flood happened in 4990 B.C., on what would have been May 21 on today’s calendar.

One day equals 1,000 years to God, and God gave Noah one week of warning. And thus, there is a 7,000-year gap between Noah’s flood and the Rapture, bringing us to May 21, 2011.

Not everyone believes the clock will run out on May 21. The American Vision organization points out that Camping initially said the end of the world would occur in 1994.

“In spite of the failure of his 1994 Rapture prediction, Harold Camping is predicting May 21, 2011, as the date the Rapture will take place,” the organization states. “American Vision is so confident that Camping is wrong, we are holding our National Prophecy Conference just a few weeks after his predicted rapture date.”

Judgment Day is also a great week to throw a party, according to the American Atheists, who do not believe in God. The Atheists are hosting a Rapture after-party to prove that Camping is wrong. –zondra hughes

One day equals 1,000 years to God, and God gave Noah one week of warning.

Well that's pretty convenient math right there. Just like Dog Years...

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

People who predict this stuff are worth quite a laugh. I'm not a bible thumper nor do I profess to know a ton about it but I do know that it does say right there in the Bible that "no man will know the day or time" so when I hear these predictions my first thought is always... well it's not happening THEN.

Agreed.

I think if you take a step back from it, this Camping guy is just trying to let people know and I'm sure to repent which all in all is a good thing to do.

However, to suggest that he knows the date seems a little crazy to me. As you stated. I don't think anybody has the slightest clue when.

10 bucks says Camping picks a new date of when he knows it'll be a couple of years down the road. After all, he did miss in 1994. Wash, rinse, repeat.

[GoHuge]

Yeah nothing to worry about. We die next year all because a group of people that were wiped off the map by over farming, smallpox, and Spaniards calendar ends. Always wondered how they knew when the world was going to end because you'd think they'd wanna be there for the party, but couldn't foresee some Spaniards coming to kick their ass? When this place blows it's gonna blow, but I don't really think it's going to have anything to do with a Guy and His Dad that are floating around in the sky waiting to make their grand appearance either.

[philfree]

Well my dads birthday is May 22nd so he very well could start the rapture the day before. After all he is my dad.

Top Ten Rapture Tips
In preparation for Saturday's Rapture, I'm sharing my top ten rapture tips:

10. Pass gas before leaving atmosphere to prevent embarrassing trajectory changes.

9. Bring a firearm in case some bastard cuts you off at the Kolob exit.

8. Refrain from drinking liquids--God ain't going to pull over.

7. Good manners dictate that you shake Jesus' hand before hugging Ayn Rand and punching Gandhi.

6. Call out greetings to friends immediately after liftoff--in space, no one can hear you scream.

5. To decrease atmospheric friction, refrain from using Cialis, Viagra, or any other hardening agents after midnight on Friday.

4. Wear clean underwear; you don't want to embarrass your mother if you're the bastard who cuts me off at the Kolob exit.

3. Bring a big bottle of Aquafina. Jesus loves a good wine.

2. Don't buzz the Jews.

1. Keep your sunroof open.

Figures... first Saturday in a month that I don't have stuff going on early in the morning, and I'm going to be woken up by the EOW. I'll log into CP to see what's going on, and will have to read "I told you so" threads from the resident tinfoil. Just wonderful.

So, how exactly does this go down. I'm in a bbq contest saturday and want to know if I need to turn the heat up on the smoker or not. Is this the sort of end of the world where guys on horses come, then comets, frogs, etc.? Or, is this the kind like in left behind where I turn around to ask one of my buddies for a beer and realize I'm the only one standing by the smoker? Little help here.

[Simplex3]

The only problem with that map that I can see right off the top of my head is that Illinois still exists.

Camping arrived at the date by the Good Book, which he says predicts that the Rapture is to occur 7,000 years after God’s first warning about the flood. Camping said the flood happened in 4990 B.C., on what would have been May 21 on today’s calendar.

One day equals 1,000 years to God, and God gave Noah one week of warning. And thus, there is a 7,000-year gap between Noah’s flood and the Rapture, bringing us to May 21, 2011.

With such groundbreaking historical and mathematical evidence to support his claim, who can deny it?

[Tom_A_Hawk]

There will be many false prohets claiming to be Christ or know of his return.
Let us all hope and pray that when the day comes we have been prepared to go with Him due to our belief and faith that He died for sins and that He prepared us a place in Heaven.


But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.—Matthew 24:36-44

It is every bit as believable as anything else in the bible. I often chuckle when Christians are outraged and denounce something as absurd and unbelievable. It makes me wonder if they have ever read their own book~

Two nights ago we were driving down I-95 in Rhode Island on our way to the Indian casino in CT. My wife is driving, and says, "Hey, what's that, the circus?" I look up and see three or four RVs all covered in the same shrinkwrap design, looking like a traveling carnival. I read quickly as they go by and realize it's these crazy ****suckers, LOL. Told my wife how we should do as suggested here and find them the night before to see if they'll give their RVs to us. What would also be cool is to get someone to dress up like Jesus and have him walk into their campsite and say, "Dudes, you missed it, it was yesterday. Sorry."

Figures... first Saturday in a month that I don't have stuff going on early in the morning, and I'm going to be woken up by the EOW. I'll log into CP to see what's going on, and will have to read "I told you so" threads from the resident tinfoil. Just wonderful.

:hmmm:
1. Japan: Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear disaster, all rolled into one. The March devastation that left thousands dead and missing was the trifecta of prophecies for many believers

But that "will look like a Sunday school picnic in comparison" to the end of times, Christian broadcaster Harold Camping, the force behind the May 21 prediction, reportedly said this week, despite the Bible's indisputable proclamation that "no one knows about that day or hour."

2. Haiti, Philippines, Costa Rica: Recent "earthquakes in various places," as noted in Matthew, foretell the obvious for some believers.

3. Iraq-Afghanistan: Never-ending Mideast conflict seems always to factor into calculating a Judgment Day prediction, starting with Israel. So there's plenty to choose from in the region to meet this biblical requirement: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."

4. Marriage equality: Some believers have suggested that the growing acceptance of same-sex marriage is a sign of immorality run amok, and that God would tolerate it only as a precursor to Judgment Day.

5. The Mississippi River: Recent flooding has prompted some speculation that pervasive crop destruction is sure to follow, resulting in the widespread famine that's scheduled to help usher in the Apocalypse.

We'll know soon enough, at least this time around.

The end of the world is nigh; 21 May, to be precise. That's the date when Harold Camping, a preacher from Oakland, California, is confidently predicting the Second Coming of the Lord. At about 6pm, he reckons 2 per cent of the world's population will be immediately "raptured" to Heaven; the rest of us will get sent straight to the Other Place.

That's too bad you feel that way.

I've always wondered if Athiest fully grasp that it can only go bad for them when this life is over.

Either:

Option A: They're right and we're all dead

Option B: They're wrong have made the biggest mistake possible which they will regret for eternity.


Having said that, somebody shouldn't believe in something simply for the sake of it sounding better. Obviously.

Our service is plain and simple; our fee structure is reasonable.
For $135.00 we will guarantee that should the Rapture occur within ten (10) years of receipt of payment, one pet per residence will be saved. Each additional pet at your residence will be saved for an additional $20.00 fee. A small price to pay for your peace of mind and the health and safety of your four legged and feathered friends.

Unfortunately at this time we are not equipped to accommodate all species and must limit our services to dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and small caged mammals. [Please note: we can now offer rescue services for horses, camels, llamas and donkeys in NH,VT, ID and MT ]
No snakes. Snakes are the debil.

I wanna believe. I wanna be able to follow the bible blindly with out questioning the book, the religion, or the people preaching it. I wish i didn't have to question whether or not certain religions or people have ulterior motives or whether or not the "good Book" was written partly to control people.

I wanna believe that some powerful force has this great plan for me. I wanna believe that all I have to do is Love god and I'm going to the most perfect place man can dream of.

But I just can't. Not that I haven't tried. But every time I try, Logic and science rear their ugly heads.

Pascal's Wager is a terrible argument. Truth is not decided by picking what's behind door #3 like some game show.

Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man, living in the sky who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever till the end of time...

Logically then, wouldn't eradicating the word of god be the compassionate thing to do? If the goal is to avoid hell, and people who don't hear the word are not condemned, wouldn't making sure no one hears it guarantee that no one is sent to hell? The people who did it would surely go to hell, but their sacrifice would keep future generations in the safety of blissful ignorance for the rest of history.

Absolutely not

"The Bible tells us that even people who don’t have that law nonetheless have their own “law” — their own moral standard within their hearts (Romans 2:14-15). For example, if in his heart Nick believes it is wrong for others to talk behind his back, then that is a law within his heart. Therefore, when Nick talks behind someone else’s back, he has disobeyed the moral standard within his heart, thus proving he is a sinner."

A baby is born to a jungle tribe that has no religion and no contact with outsiders. This baby grows to be the nicest, most kindhearted individual possible. This person has done no wrong or broken any moral rule of the tribe. Basically lead the most wholesome life possible, but devoid of religion.

Is this person denied entrance to heaven and forced to endure the rapture simply because of the geographical limitations of their own birthplace? If so, how can you deem that as fair judgment?

I don't know, but it's really a fairly modern emphasis in the history of Christianity and extremely over simplies things to the point of a childrens fairy tale. Maybe it's too much work these days for people to tackle the real purpose of Christianity which is bringing Heaven to Earth. It's much simpler to say a prayer and think you are good to go. Thinking salvation in Christ is primarily about going to Heaven or Hell it like going to a Chiefs game for the half time show. It's a part of it, but not the real meat and potatoes of it.

[ModSocks]

Yep. Pretty ****ed eh?

I asked my HS teacher, a philosophy major, his view on God/Religion. His answer has pretty much stuck with me my entire life now.

His Answer: The biggest issue he has with it is that religion does not reward good behavior and morality. The whole schtick with the bible is to teach good morals and to love your neighbor and the lord. Those are the teachings of Jesus Christ.

But loving the lord trumps all. You can be a person of outstanding Charector. You can be a person who never "sins". You never told a lie, committed adultry or murder. You're the model human being.

But if you don't follow/love the Christian God, none of that matters. The bible teaches you to be a good person. You can be the best person in the world. But if you don't love their god, you're going to hell.

So, ima be the best person I can be. But i'm not going to sit here and throw money at a church, or stress myself to follow every teaching to a "T". I'm not going to sit here and study the bible and put my faith in man. If god does exist, he'll know that i was a person of high morality. If he lets me in, great. If not, at least I'll know I lived a good life.

All you have to do is repent "And thou shall be saved".

It's denying God's love that sends you to hell.

I don't think someone has to throw money at a church or worry about following every teaching to a T to show they love God.

Particularly the following every teaching to a T part. If you're referring to basically obeying the commandments, remember that none of us do. We're all sinners. That's the whole point. The commandments are not there to be something we beat ourselves up over because we fail. They're there to help us realize we need Jesus to save us.

You think that people who kill, rape, and pillage(Cuss? really?) don't know that what they are doing is wrong. Fuck yeah they do. Just because they enjoy it, doesn't mean they should do it, or that they don't know it's wrong.

[ModSocks]

I'm what most would call a Christian, and I don't think you would burn in hell for leading a good life.
The overbearing nature of the general message that is taught by organized religion drives away so many people. I haven't been to church, a whole lot, or in along time, but I can tell you that there are some that are not filled with extremists.

It's in the bible. It's pretty cut and dry. You don't love god, you're not going to heaven. No way around it.

Is it TRULY suppose to be that way or is the Church trying to make you believe in THEIR God so you can go to THEIR church? I don't know. But those are the rules.

The Vatican ain't pimped the fuck out like the Russian dude's house in the direct TV commercial, because they told people that they get close to God without them.

[ModSocks]

No.

Doesn't matter. They're still allowed into heaven. It's in Jesus' teachings. Repent.

Repent Repent Repent, Love God and all will be forgiven. And if you don't know Christ, you can't possible have a relationship with him. That's what the entire new testimant is about. Being a good person and building your relationship with Christ.

And how can someone who has no understanding of Christian fundamentals know that that's Wrong?

What about sacrafices? The Mayans didn't think that what they were doing was wrong. They thought they were honoring their Gods.

Leave a perfectly good "Everyone knows this isn't really about religion thread" for a few hours and BAM, you come back to a kettle of heresy stew with a side order of middle finger in God's face.

Let's keep this out of DC long enough for us to laugh at those who predicted the 5.21.11 date, at least.

I actually think this thread just got a whole lot more interesting. Hasn't gotten ugly. Just people asking questions.

IMO you can only say so much about some guy who whiffed on a date in 94 now back again saying this is it.

But to each his own.

My question is, of the religious people in this thread, who seriously thinks the rapture is coming this Saturday? I guess I could make a pole.

That's what is misunderstood heavily.

You think that just because you get down on your knees, and tell God more lies about how you repent your sins that you are automatically forgiven?
God doesn't say lie about repenting....

He says REPENT!! The only people who truly repent, are people who are sorry for what they have done, and what they've become.
And they will be forgiven. People make mistakes. HUGE mistakes. Everone deserves a 2nd chance.

re·pent1    
[ri-pent] Show IPA
–verb (used without object)
1.
to feel sorry, self-reproachful, or contrite for past conduct; regret or be conscience-stricken about a past action, attitude, etc. (often followed by of ): He repented after his thoughtless act.
2.
to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one's life for the better; be penitent.

Penitence, can be gained, and lost.

:spock:
This Saturday in Times Square, Robert Fitzpatrick will be waiting for the world to end.

This 60-year-old MTA retiree from Staten Island joins the hordes who follow the Biblical calculation of Family Radio preacher Harold Camping. Camping predicts that the end of days is near -- in fact, it's tomorrow, May 21, at about 5:59 p.m. ET.

"Judgment day will begin very shortly before midnight Jerusalem standard time. I think it's going to be instantaneous. Everything will be destroyed and God is going to create a new heaven and a new earth," says Fitzpatrick, who spent his $140,000 life savings to have 3,000 posters put up in New York City's subway and bus system, warning of this impending End of Days.

Though many are chalking up this May 21 hysteria to religious zeal, leaders among mainstream Christian denominations have largely condemned date-setting, citing Bible verses that say no man can know the time of the Rapture.

Why are Fitzpatrick and those on Family Radio's recent proselytizing tour convinced that the end is upon us, despite centuries of failed predictions?

That's hard to answer, but psychologists and religious scholars say it derives from a number of very human urges: from the fear of death to the desire for justice to the fatalistic despair that this world is too broken ever to be fixed.

Although there's no way to gauge how many people actually think the world will end with a bang (or a whimper) on Saturday, doomsday is big in the U.S.

"Thirty to forty percent of Americans report believing that the end times are coming eventually, so while most reject the teachings of Camping, there is a strong strain of this kind of thinking in this country," says Christian Lane, author of "The Age of Doubt: Tracing the Roots of Our Religious Uncertainty."

So for some, anxiety spurred by the recent natural and economic disasters makes apocalyptic thinking more appealing, he says. "It becomes easier to convince people that things are getting worse and that the answer will come through divine dispensation, rather than have them face the fact that humanity must fix its own problems."
Gary Laderman, chairman of the department of religion at Emory University, says the story of ultimate reckoning is very popular in religious texts and popular culture.
"It's a scenario where you can pinpoint the heroes from the villains, good from evil. It's a powerful story that people identify with. It's not so foreign to be fixated on the end of the world, our society today just fixates on it in popular culture instead, with Armageddon movies," he says.

Nevertheless, Camping's campaign isn't likely to win many converts, says Stephen O'Leary, an expert in religious communication at University of Southern California.
"The people following his predictions are apocalyptic enthusiasts already looking for signs of the end times. They want to reinforce their idea that these are the last days," he says. They are "unable to face up to the reality of their mistakes and misplaced faith when the prophecy is wrong," he adds.

Waiting For the World to End

"These people are so eager for this 'setting right of all injustices' that they make the mistakes so many have made in the past. These predictions have come and gone literally hundreds of times," he says.

But behind the eagerness is a dichotomy between hope for the "new world" and fear over the ending of this one, religious experts say.

With their buses emblazoned with slogans and their neon-colored T-shirts, Camping's followers have been, at times, jubilant as they spread the "awesome news" that "the End of the World is almost here!" Fitzpatrick seems to share none of their glee.

With only hours remaining before he believes most of the people of the world will be condemned forever, Fitzpatrick echoes his subway ads, urging others to pray. His voice has nothing of the preacher's fervor.

"This is a time for sorrow and sobriety. We all have people we love who have no interest in this and the Bible tells us that these people will perish. A lot of children are going to die," he says.

[Dave Lane]

Are we there yet?

I need to know if I should set up my scopes for Saturday night viewing. Its a lot of work and if the world is ending or there's gonna be 20% of the people that disappear I may need to check see if they left any better scopes laying about.

"the fatalistic despair that this world is too broken ever to be fixed."

Pop Culture Signs That Doomsday Is Upon Us

10 crazy reasons the end of days might actually be here.

10. If Oprah Winfrey's ending her talk show, the whole world might as well end with it. Ahead of May 21, 2011, ABCNews.com put together a list of examples from pop culture that suggest Doomsday may indeed be upon us. Winfrey has held court as the queen of the daytime talk show for so long (25 years, to be specific) that it seems inconceiveable she'll end her reign on May 25. But maybe the big O knows something we don't ...

9. Think about the most famous people on TV these days. Jerry Seinfeld? Nope. Jennifer Aniston? Gone to the big screen. Instead, we have self-made reality TV stars like Bethenny Frankel and Kim Kardashian. Frankel recently made a reported $120 million by selling a line of low calorie cocktails to a major liquor distributor. Kim Kardashian reportely made $65 million in 2010. "Jersey Shore's" pouffy princess Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi got $32,000 to lecture to students at Rutgers University. Remember, these people got famous just by being themselves. Call it luck, call it talent, or call it a sign that the world's gone mad.

8. The comeback of leggings was disturbing enough. Jeggings, in all their acid wash and dark rinse glory, might be seen as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

7. But they're not worse than denim diapers. Putting jeans on a baby's bare bottom? Have we all gone insane?

6. Worse still is the trend of people not wearing pants at all. Lady Gaga started it, shunning anything that even remotely obscures her upper thigh region in favor of skin-tight leotards. (When she wants to be modest, she puts on fishnets, as shown here.) Rihanna followed her lead. These days, the "S&M" singer favors spangled panty-like bottoms.

5. Italy actually let the cast of "The Jersey Shore" into their country. Why would they do that if it didn't think the end of the world would cut short Snooki and co.'s stay?

4. As the 1990s faded into the 2000s, it seemed one of the most disturbing epochs of music had finally come to an end -- the boy band era. But like a nightmare you just can't shake, it's back. New Kids on the Block and The Backstreet Boys are combining forces, touring this summer (assuming Doomsday doesn't destroy them, of course) to the delight of ... who, exactly?

3. In March, Charlie Sheen got fired from the hit show he once headlined, "Two and a Half Men." He launched a North American comedy tour in which he practically got booed off stage in city after city. And yet, according to Forbes, he made $40 million in the last 12 months, more than he's made ever before. It just doesn't make sense.

2. Maybe the world is about to end because humans seem to care more about their pets than they do about themselves. Time magazine reported in 2009 that annual spending on pets in the U.S. had reached $43 billion. After Doomsday does its work, perhaps cats and dogs will inherit whatever's left of earth.

1. Or maybe vampires will lord over the planet's remains. After all, they're so popular right now. "The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide" isn't even a new novel in the series -- it's a guide to all of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" books -- and yet, last month, it was at the top of the young adult bestseller list. Vampires, if this is what we've come up with after more than 2,000 years of civilization, go ahead, take it, do what you will.

I have it as 6:09pm in Jerusalem right now. So a time difference of 8 hours. That puts it at 5pm eastern on Saturday.

This probably the 10th big end of the world announcement in my lifetime. People have been misreading the bible and think they know the answers for some time. Seventh Day Adventists were originated from such a pronouncement, over and over again. We've had the alignment of the planets, the millenium bug, and of course the end of the Mayan calendar which everyone forgot to turn over.

If it happens at least I won't have to get my garden cleaned up.
