Harold Camping, a preacher based in California has said that his prediction that the world would end on the May 21 was five months off, his latest prediction says that Judgement Day will come on October 21, 2011. The Christian radio preacher said today that the apocalypse or global “Rapture” will now come five months after his original prediction of May 21, 2011.
Mr. Camping says he felt so terrible when his doomsday prediction did not come true on Saturday that he left his home and took refuge with his wife in a motel.
At 89, Mr Camping is fairly old and all these predictions I think are a result of old age.
Last week he had predicted that the global “Rapture” would begin with massive earthquakes at 6pm local time in every region in the world. He also said that the good people of the world would be sent to heaven after the quakes.
FIVE OTHER END-OF-WORLD PREDICTIONS:
1. Followers of William Miller believed the world would end on October 22, 1844.
2. The Jehovah's Witness religion has predicted the end of the world in 1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994.
3. Charles Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church, predicted the world would end in 1794.
4. Famous forecaster Nostradamus predicted doomsday would happen in July 1999.
5. English mystic Joanna Southcott predicted the world would end on October 19, 1814, when she gave birth to the Messiah.
Mr. Camping has made millions of dollars from his ridiculous predictions.
