Spin some tunes, PARTY!
Fantastic news! I’m going to stop paying my mortgage. And my taxes—by the time the IRS comes looking for me we’ll all be safely in heaven. Right? Right?
If you believe it’s going to happen, it’s got to happen sooner or later!
Hal Lindsey must be envious.
I hope he is right, the sooner the better. I’m ready...
May 21 works well for me and my household, but then “no man knows the hour”.
"Why should I sign it?" he asked "We won't be around anyway..."
Should have had him write that in my book cover and send it to him.
Give up, Harold. You haven't a clue.
Spin some tunes, PARTY!
All false “date setting” aside -
...those of us that believe in a future Rapture event - also know that it is NEVER taught as the “so called” end of the world
This is the kind of kook that the world uses to paint all Christians as lunatics.
If he has been "scrutinizing" his Bible for 70 years, why has he never run across Ecclesiastes 1:4:
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
I guess Jesus should have consulted with Harold Camping before He put in the Scriptures that He would have a kingdom on earth that would last for 1000 years.
“has developed a mathematical system to interpret prophecies hidden within the Good Book”
Time to take retirement, Harold.
Your’re seeing things that aren’t there.
A day after my son’s 17th birthday. I told him to watch out what kind of video games he plays.
He seems to base his understanding on what most would question.shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach"Christ hung on the cross April 1, 33 A.D.," he began. "Now go to April 1 of 2011 A.D., and that's 1,978 years."
Old dude previously predicted September 1994, followers gathered and were disappointed.
Summary of old dude’s new theory.
He decided that 5 represents atonement, 10 represents completion, and 17 represents heaven.
5 x 10 x 17 x 5 x 10 x 17 = 722,500.
Then he uses that number to count from the supposed date of Jesus’ crucifixion, and comes up with May 21, 2011.
If those numbers hadn’t worked, I’m sure he would’ve come up with some different ones.
Can’t be much of a Biblical “scholar”, seeing as how he’s totally ignored this little passage from Matthew 24
27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
What a maroon!
Wow. So that’s it, huh? Seems so anti-climatic, like the answer to life, the universe, and everything being 42.
A wrong premise will always lead to a faulty conclusion.
1729 is an interesting number. It can be written as the sum of the cube of 9 and 10.
