(Reuters) - With no sign his forecast of Judgment Day arriving on Saturday has come true, the 89-year-old California evangelical broadcaster and former civil engineer behind the pronouncement seemed to have gone silent.
Family Radio, the Christian stations network headed by Harold Camping which had spread his message of an approaching doomsday, was on Saturday playing recorded church music and devotional messages unrelated to the apocalypse.
Camping previously made a failed prediction Jesus Christ would return to Earth in 1994.
In his latest pronouncement, he had said doomsday would begin in Asia, but with midnight local time come and gone in Tokyo and Beijing and those cities already in the early hours of May 22, there was no sign of the apocalypse.
The Oakland, California, headquarters of the network of 66 U.S. stations, which has international affiliates and had posted billboards around the country warning of a May 21 Judgment Day, were shuttered with a sign in the door that read "This Office is Closed. Sorry we missed you!"
The headquarters, which appears to be normally closed on Saturday, was also shuttered on Friday.
Camping, whose deep sonorous voice is frequently heard on his radio network expounding the Bible, could not be reached immediately for comment on Saturday.
On Friday, the shades were drawn and no one answered the door at his house in Alameda, California.
Atheists in different parts of the country were planning celebrations and get-togethers to mark the failure of Camping's May 21 prediction to come true.
In Oakland, the same city where Camping's network is based, over 200 people gathered at an atheist convention where speakers jokingly took note of the Judgment Day pronouncement.
In New York, at least one of Camping's followers continued to hold out hope that Judgment Day would come.

... a man who is now $80 million dollars richer, thanks to his apocalypse message
Wow! Those houses look stunning!
Hint: Is his tent missing?
Ooopsie!
Hmmm. Maybe the Rapture did occur and he just got the earthquake part wrong. No where does that leave us?
A return to the stoning of false prophets would tend to reduce this kind of nonsense from even starting.
I heard he now works for the Federal Government doing major hurricane predictions and economic forecasting.
Unexpectedly.
And we're still stuck with Obama.
Damn, I'm slow..........ya beat me to it.........LOL!
Quite possibly.
Matthew 24:36-39 “But of that day and hour no one know, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone...”
Maybe he needs to debate this with someone other than those likely to give him donations.
I was hoping to get it right on the first try. This just means we’ll have to do it all over again on 12-21-2012......:)
Nothing worse than predicting the Rapture and then getting left behind when it happens!
Cheer up folks, we still have the 2012 Mayan prediction.
Don’t these shmucks who predict the date of Apocalypse read the Bible? Jesus said no man knows the date or the hour of His return and the end. Ignorant morons—or out to make a buck somehow? Yikes.... see ya tomorrow y’all.
