May 21, 2011 is making big news as being the end and the Rapture of the church. This isn't anything new. False teachers and false prophets have been predicting the date since God knows when. Now days they use silly "scientific" methods or special revelations (gnosticism), which deceives a lot of weak minded people, and declare they've arrived at a definite date. Campings methods for arriving at this date are shoddy at best and frankly I'm embarrassed for him.
Camping also predicted, at one time, that the exact same thing would happen on September 6, 1994. And we're still here. What Camping isn't getting, or maybe just flat out ignoring is....
1. No one knows the day or the hour (Matthew 24:26)
2. It's not for us (people) to know. (Acts 1:7) If God wanted someone to know then He would've added "except Camping."
3. Because Camping's predictions have failed in the past is proof he isn't a prophet and hasn't heard a single word from God. "If a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD but the thing does not take place or prove true, it is a word that the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; do not be frightened by it." Deuteronomy 18:22
More frightening than Camping are the many people who believe this. When only 10% of professing Christians in this country actually read their Bibles regularly then we understand how this type of craziness actually works here. Where ignorance is rampant so is deceit.
