May 21 Doomsday: The End of the World 2011, Coming Soon!

Harold Camping: Judgment Day is May 21, 2011. It's the End of the World!

Jennifer Waite
May 21. Doomsday.

At least, that is what one Harold Camping would have us believe. Harold Camping, an 89 year-old evangelist and radio host who has once before "predicted" the demise of man, is the man behind the much buzzed-about May 21, 2011, end of the world prophecy. Given that his previous theory that the world would end on Judgment Day and the Rapture would sweep all the good little Christians up on September 6, 1994, was proven bunk when, on September 7, 1994, mankind still existed, we are giving very little weight to Mr. Camping's current warning.

It's The End Of The World: May 21 Doomsday Prophet Harold Camping Predicts Judgment Day Is Near

The May 21 doomsday prophecy is based on a complicated math formula, says Camping, that centers around the day he believes Jesus Christ was crucified. According to MSNBC, Harold Camping explains his prophecies away with odd calcualtions, such as the following gem: "Five times 10 times 17 is telling you a story." Huh? Exactly.

We're just glad Bible-thumping, fear-mongering apocalypse junkies like Harold Camping have finally given us a firm date. Frankly, we found "2012" to be a bit vague, and we're glad to finally have a box to circle in red on our calanders. Granted, its a bit sooner than we had planned for. We have some things at the dry cleaners that may or may not be ready before the May 21 doomsday, aka End Of The World 2011, and we'd hate to ascend without them.

Hey Baby, What Are You Doing For The Apocalypse?

Do you have any plans for Judgment Day 2011? Because we've been thinking: we should really come together as a nation in these, our final days, to commemorate the event with due fanfare. It can be just like the Super Bowl: hoagies, chips, maybe something along the lines of a mid-Rapture dance act led by Paula Abdul? These are just ideas. Feel free to submit your own End Of The World 2011 party ideas in the comments section, and let us know how you plan to spend Judgment Day. Check out this link for great zombie apocalypse music ideas!

Don't forget your loved ones at this difficult time: with the May 21 doomsday date just around the corner, you'll want to get your cards mailed out now. Does Hallmark even make a card for the Rapture? Maybe something along the lines of, "Wanted to 'a-scend' you this greeting to say good freaking luck!"? Just a thought...

    If we read our bibles instead of listening to false prophets then we know only God not even his angels know the time. So have a Great and Blessed weekend. See ya Monday....

    Hmmmmmmm, Just wondering way the Bible says " as a thief in the night" but yet this guy knows. Wondering if he has been a thief before

    Since Harold Camping and his followers are so convinced the end is on Saturday....I challenge them ALL to leave me their savings. Hey, I'm just saying...

  • Sandy James5/19/2011

    More BS from someone who wants attention....

    Obviously, this Saturday is an unlikely day for the end of the world, just as the end of the current Mayan calendar far fetched. I mean, when the end of my calendar occurs every year on December 31st, I just put up a new one for the next year.

    But, whether your concern is with Armageddon, Rapture, Asteroids, War or even Zombies, it is prudent to still be prepared. Everyday, people around the world are faced with life threatening and life changing events. For them, it is the end of the world, no matter how local or persona it may be.

    People should prepare for the worst by storing food for up to a year or more, putting together bug out bags to keep by the door and have a plan worked out ahead of time.

    Those who have found themselves confronted by earthquakes, tsunamis, radiation, tornados and floods in the recent few months past certainly would have benefited by some planning and preparation ahead of time.

    continued from above: atheists, christains, and pretty much everyone need's to know, God is in control, Jesus is coming, pray up, read up, look up, and do christains a favor, if you can't get the facts from the bible straight, then shut up!

    I am upset with this wolf in sheeps clothing that the bible warned me about already in Mattthew 24. On one hand he is reminding us to get ready for Jesus's return, and he is unknowingly being used by God to get the message of salvation out. However he must have overlooked the part in Matthew 24 that states that christains don't know the year, day, hour, minute, or even second of the time that Jesus is to return. The angel's themselves don't know, but the good preacher took his tiny human brain and computed Jesus's return into a box. How clever of him! The athiest are having a field day with this guy that is trying to make christains and the bible look ridiculous! I am appalled, the atheist can have their little party after the 21st of May because they don't know any better, but what is Harold camping's excuse? Has he ever read the bible, the atheist apparently know more about the bible then this guy! Here is the only thing that atheist's christain
