The Boy Who Cried "Apocalypse!"

Evangelical priest Harold Camping has set a new date for the world’s end as he backtracked from a prediction that ‘Judgement Day’ was supposed to come last Saturday.

The US Christian, who made headlines for his outlandish claim that a selected 200 million of the world’s population would be raptured, has now marked 21 October 2011 in his calendar as the real date for the apocalypse.

The 89-year-old had previously stated that an earthquake – bigger than anything ever felt before - would strike each corner of the planet by 6pm local time on Saturday 21 May.

But according to Camping’s new end of world forecast, the globe will actually be engulfed by a huge fireball - exactly five months after the botched doomsday prediction.

Speaking of the failed ‘Judgement Day’ on his radio show last night, he claimed that 21 May 2011 was just an ‘invisible judgement day’ and that he understood it as a spiritual, rather than physical event.

After hiding in a motel for two days, the Californian preacher admitted his Bible-based calculations were incorrect.

He said he believed rapture didn’t come because God decided to spare humanity five months of “hell on earth.”

During his hour-and-a-half radio broadcast, he said: “It won’t be spiritual on 21 October. The world is going to be destroyed all together, but it will be very quick.”



This date of 21st October 2011 just so happens to fall in the period of time when "comet" Elenin will be at it's most visible and having it's greatest effects on the Earth.

The dwarf star will be at it's closest point to the Earth at around the 17th October (5 days before this new "prediction"). By around 5th November we will be passing through the "debris trail" (this just happens to be 5 days after Halloween).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the Apocalypse is coming, but could this previous "end of the world" prediction for the 21st May have been a ploy to get the masses to ignore yet another prediction so soon afterwards? Then when a "huge fireball" suddenly appears in the skies, people think "Ooooh ****! It really is the end!" thus generating even greater panic and fear, lowering the vibrational field of the Earth.

Just a theory. :flame:

Those were my immediate thoughts as well - Time to start posting such comments on the MSM articles about this topic - get some positive "counter intel" out there on the interwebz

Could well be, worth bearing in mind.

Another possibility is that, just like on all the other occasions, he's wrong !

Doomdayers - rather than suggest that we can avert or change timelines are working against people and not for them.

These so-called prophets do not understand the laws of love. What they are doing is setting in motion, by public acclaim, some target for disaster, a series of vibrations which will eventually bring about troubles for people.

Such practices are always carried on in the psychic planes and have been during recorded history. These perculiar persons create an aura of fear and awe, so they can take advantage of it and strike down people with psychological effects made by fierce utterances and dreadful forewarnings.

If these pseudoprophets had any insight, it would be to their credit to serve their fellowman by quietly warning him, and breaking up the vibrations which ae going to bring harm to him. Not doing so shows a lack of universal love.

Since some people are only looking for applause and acclaim, they manifest a great deal of their public utterances for public eyes and ears. THis is only an ego builder, and they do more harm than good. They do not seem to understand that love for their fellowman is greater than their own petty egos.

Well from one perspective 'apocalypse' might be a good thing.It might not mean the 'end' of the world just a change.

Here's one definition from a dictionary;

apocalypse (as in "calamity") n. : a cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil


It might not mean total physical destruction.It might be a higher dimensional clearing of the negative influences possibly

apocalypse is a Greek work meaning "revelation", as in taking out of hiding.

What gets me - whether it is dear old Harold predicting yet another rapture/apocalypse date, or the self-proclaimed lord Ra-El assuming the christ mantle and getting on his high-horse about wrecking vengence on the unfaithful - their approach is one and the same - FEAR.

It works in religions - it works in media (which is why only bad news sells) - it works in Hollywood (end of the world baby!) - instill enough fear into the populous and they are like putty in your hands.

You remember all those who were convinced that Y2K meant the end of civilization as we know it? There were plenty who stocked up their basements and bomb shelters with years worth of toilet paper and ensure and there were plenty of hucksters feeding off that fear, selling "Y2K survival kits" and the like. They were trading on FEAR.

Even conspiracy theories in general - (true or false) - I don't care if they are claiming that MK Ultra is still in operation or that the great flying spaghetti monster was sighted hovering over Cinncinati -what is their basis of rationale? FEAR.

The thing is - we really don't have anything to be afraid OF. Seriously.

We're immortal beings - granted we're currently inhabiting 'mortal' bodies in order to gain experience etc., but you can't kill a soul. And the really sad part? Many of those that understand this (like dear old Harold and others) STILL use the fear factor to try to scare us into thinking that we can lose our soul to the devil, or that God will destroy those that don't agree with him. *sigh*
