After numerous failed doomsday predictions, Family Radio founder Harold Camping announced this month that he has no plans to predict ever again the day of God's Judgment. He also issued an apology to listeners, admitting that he was wrong.
"We have learned the very painful lesson that all of creation is in God's hands and He will end time in His time, not ours!" a statement on Family Radio's website reads. "We humbly recognize that God may not tell His people the date when Christ will return, any more than He tells anyone the date they will die physically."
Camping, 90, has made predictions about Judgment Day, Christ's return and the end of the world for the past few decades – with the May 21, 2011, forecast receiving the most media attention. Each time the date passed, he did not admit to mistaking the timing but instead reasoned that the events happened "spiritually" rather than physically.

Good as he gets closer to the end of his life may he find some peace and contentment in Christ.
Well he at least admits he is wrong and it seems looking for some absolution through those who have been touched or concerned by his outrageous claims.
Still Bat Crazy
“”We have learned the very painful lesson that all of creation is in God’s hands and He will end time in His time, not ours!”
Only took him 90 years
Well, that pretty much guarantees they'll continue.
Somebody has to take up his mantle, therefore I hereby predict the end of the world next Tuesday at 02:37 PM CDT.
Praise the Lord!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Joey Smith did that and went on to make a new religion
That will put a dent in my post rapture pet care insurance policies.
It is a gracious God indeed who tells Camping off by granting him a long, long life.
So, now he’s an enlightened kook?
Mayan calender indicates that 12/21/2012, gravity will reverse its pull on the earth and all of us will go flying into outer space. Just sayin’
True and he also heard an earful from many of God’s faithful servants. May Harold do some real good with his remaining days.
Great....now I’m nervous
How many times has he said he will stop in the past. Just interested.
Didn’t I read somewhere that only the Father knew? I guess the date was guessed at without reading the whole book.
Unfortunately, Harold Camping no longer predicting the end of the world is one of the signs in Revelations.
I believe this is the first time, but I don’t really follow him. I only hear his doomsday predictions from time to time.
Unlike Sandra Fluke, God DOES accept apologies.
:-)
Harold Camping has been deceiiving believers for many years, but if he has truly repented and is seeking forgiveness with his whole heart, the LORD will forgive him.
