Harold Camping Still Hasn’t Learned a Thing, Predicts Rapture Will Be On October 21, Maybe
Sigh …
By Ray Downs – “Harold Camping, the Christian broadcaster who boldly announced that the world would end on May 21, only to later say that he was “flabbergasted” when the rapture did not occur, is now telling everyone to get ready for the real rapture, which is set to occur on Oct. 21 – probably.
Some time after being released from a nursing home in June after suffering a stroke, Camping, released an audio message on Family Radio’s website saying, ‘We would have not been able to be used [by God] to bring about the tremendous event that occurred on May 21 of this year, which probably [will] be finished out on Oct. 21 that’s coming very shortly. That looks like it will be … the final end of everything.’
Camping, not sounding quite as strong in his voice or as confident about his rapture prediction in his audio message, expressed gratitude for prayers from supporters (read a transcript of Camping’s audio message).
The California Bible teacher, who confessed that he has ‘restudied’ his predictions, said in the recording that the rapture will be quick and quiet. ‘Probably there will be no pain suffered by anyone because of their rebellion against God,’ Camping said.
He added, ‘This is very comforting to all of us because we all have children, we all have loved ones that are dear to us that we know are not saved and yet we know that they’ll quietly die.’
As for ‘the true believers,’ like those who have been praying for his recovery, Camping said in the message that believers ‘will quietly receive the new heaven and the new earth.'” Read more.
