In truth, the ideas and images in men’s minds are the invisible powers that constantly govern them. - John Locke, English philosopher, physician
The American evangelicals whose frenzied scriptural arithmetic points to the Second Coming of Christ 2,000 years after his birth are engaged in an activity which has been threatening the stability of the Christian Church since the second century; they are trying to align God’s calendar with man’s. - Damian Thompson, author, ‘The End of Time’

MIDDLE EAST, INDIA, May 19, 2011 —I bumped into Harold Camping when I came across his book ‘1994?’
Since he put a question mark at the end of the title I didn’t write him off completely because much of what he talks and writes about is certainly found in the Bible.
SNIP SNIP
In fact 1 Thess 5: 2 says, “for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.”
But Camping figures it’s okay to work out the year and the month and in fact goes on and tells us both a month, a day and an hour - he says Jesus' return will probably happen with a massive earthquake around 6pm on May 21, 2011 in which ever part of the world you are!
America is full of 'experts' in every field you can think of and at the age of 89, Camping cannot be denied his expertise in the Bible, which he claims he has researched for most of his life.
He is basically telling people they cannot take the plain meaning of what is said in the Bible to understand the scriptures, but with his God given key he can, while everyone else has misinterpreted when the end times will happen.

I’d like to know what time it will be. We’ve got a really busy schedule tomorrow, what with the wedding and all..................
Are we there yet?
Good to know, thanks
Lots of “Christian” clergy are having muslims read prayers in their churches this Sunday. I think it would be wonderful if Christ returns on Saturday and says “You thought you could defile my house? I don’t think so!”
I thought it was midnight Eastern and nine p.m. specific time.
“The end of the world” is a serious issue, people suffer from it regularly… you should check out this comedy called “Take Me 2012” it touches into this earnest matter:
