Breaking News: The World Didn’t End Today

If you’re reading this, you are one of nearly 7 billion people who survived doomsday. According to Harold Camping, the doomsday prophet best known for not being a doomsday prophet, predicted that today, October 21st, 2011, would be the end of the world.
Camping caused a media frenzy earlier this year when he predicted that the world would end on May 21st, 2011. When the world didn’t end, Camping said that he had misinterpreted the word of God. May 21st was actually the beginning of a five month judgement period. The real date of doomsday was October 21st.
But surprisingly, the sun rose as scheduled today.
When a reporter from Reuters showed up at Campings’ home this morning, the 90-year-old radio host answered the door in his bathroom and said:
“We’re not having a conversation. There’s nothing to report here.”
Camping, who is an evangelical broadcaster on his Family Radio station, has stayed out of the spotlight after his last doomsday prediction. Network spokesman Tom Evans says that the famed host is now retired.
In the days leading up to Campings’ May 21st doomsday prediction, followers traveled around the country spreading the word that the end is near. Some put their life savings into billboards, cars, signs, and gas so that they could warn their fellow man. But Camping’s followers weren’t as loyal this time.
And who can blame them? Camping has been predicting the end of the world since the 1980s. Camping started predicting that the world was going to end in 1988. When that didn’t happen he said 1994. Camping took more than a decade off before predicting that he was sure that the world would end on May 21st 2011. And when that didn’t happen, well, Camping retired.
Were you worried about Harold Campings’ doomsday prophecy?

This is a great day as next Friday will be — the real final day of the Mayan Calendar (not 12-21-12) and it is showing humanity that Consciousness and Life is eternal. Although we physically die… our Cosnciousness continues… no end of the world… people like Harold Camping need to learn about things like the Dual Slit experiment in the Hadron Collider and start to understand that this universe is relative. Then maybe they can stop spreading fear and lies.
Oct 21, 2011
I hate to break it to you Dan, but as I write this it' 9:47 am in Mobile, AL. So, by some rough guestimation there's still 14 hours in my time zone for Camping to be proved right. Not that he will be, religion is BS (and Camping's version even more so), but I can't help feeling you were a little premature with this post declaring the day over!
Oct 21, 2011
Maybe you're right. I was just so overjoyed when I woke up today… Tell you what. If the world ends by midnight tonight, I'll owe you a Coke.
Oct 21, 2011
Dan Evon I think that's one bet you'll never have to pay out on Dan
LOL
Oct 21, 2011
You also have to look at it like this, its already Saturday in some countries around the world, so that should be all the proof you need right there! lol
Oct 21, 2011
Don Knotts is right!
Oct 21, 2011
lol are u stupid? no one knows when the world will end. if we keep predicting tht its 2012 its not gonna happenn.. lmao
Oct 21, 2011
Its not gonna happen the 21st either. The mayan calander is just dumb. Even past 2012 it continues. Look at your computer calander, it still goes on and on. get a clue people. god damn
Oct 21, 2011
exactly.. smh
Oct 21, 2011
no one can possibly know when the worlds gna end…even the mayans…only god knows when the world will end.
Oct 21, 2011
Only Chuck Norris knows when the world will end, because only he decides when to perform push ups.
Oct 21, 2011
the world wont end at all only god knows no creepy old MOFO OR SOME CREEPY WANNA BE HINDUS.
Oct 22, 2011
Still alive here!
Oct 22, 2011
Ashea Lenea Phillips Some people must not be able to read — I said the world would NOT end on any of the predicted dates. The Mayan end calendar date is not a prophecy about the end of the world it is a Consciousness Convergenece about the end of an Era.
Oct 22, 2011
Camping has been wrong 5 times now. The man has lost his sanity long ago.
Oct 22, 2011
I agree that this world is not going to end because it is a Relative reality we live in. So making an objective statement about the End of All Things is ludicrous.
Oct 22, 2011
dont get smart.?
Oct 22, 2011
Are you asking me or telling me?
Oct 22, 2011
The Mayan End Calendar date is about the end of an Era — which is 10-28-11 (not 12-21-12) NOT the end of the world. But it has been miscalculated and people everywhere think it means the world will end by next Christmas. I agree that God knows everything — but I highly doubt the world will ever end until the sun becomes so hot it drys out all the water on the planet and life goes extinct.
Oct 22, 2011
hmmm.n i seem to remember telling u that MONTHS AGO:)
Oct 22, 2011
HAHAHAH true…
Oct 22, 2011
So since Camping retired who is now hired to take his place.. and where are the people that put up their life savings for the worlds going to end campaign.. I would love to get a glimpse of them… HAHAHAH
Oct 22, 2011
Joseph Nardi agreed!

Most people are aware that "nobody" knows the day or hour that Jesus Christ is going to return….thus…ushering in what everyone is referring to as the "end of the world". Harold Camping and anyone else who has set a date for Christ's return is what ya call a "false prophet", not to be trusted at all after what they prophesied to happen did not happen.
If anybody has "studied" eschatology", notice the word "studied", its easy to see that it's an ironclad fact that Christ is returning for his people ONE DAY. "We" don't know when that day is. NOTE: If you haven't studied 'end time events' (eschatology) you simply have an opinion….so….. anyone who responds to this post with comments like, "that's a bunch of , BS", ""Who says YOUR right?" "What about people who believe in Buddha or Muhammad?" I'll simply say, read the Bible, STUDY what it's saying.. notice again, "STUDY"…… not just read a verse here and there…..you will not find one error what so ever…instead you will find prophecy after prophecy that have been fulfilled 100% of the time 100% accurately. He who has ears will hear…he who doesn't….. won't. Kind of deep, huh? Later.
Oct 22, 2011
Agreed. I was on a tour of the Mayan temples in Mexico guided by a real Mayan… even he told us it was BS.
Oct 22, 2011
I have studied the Bible for ten years now with Mystical Christians and also Messianic Jews who speak, read and write Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew. The original Biblical texts, much like the St. Jerome duoy reams volumes suggest that most of revelation is "past tense" meaning it already took place. Also to note Yeshua of Nazareth "never left us". He told the apostles that he would be with "us" until the end of time. so the idea of him returning is perhaps an inward "rapture" for those who are disconnected from his presence. Most religious people never question or research anything and take whatever their Pastor tells them as the God's truth. It is too bad and probably why there are 40,000 denominations of Christianity nowadays. A fairly divisive religion. Just some thoughts.
Oct 22, 2011
Camping didn't specify which time zone so in China it's already the next day.
Oct 23, 2011
rapture is when only the choosen ones will be taken so if nothing happened to you could it be because you are one of ones who are left behind to now face a years worth of armagedon , leading us to dec 21 2012. ROSAT the german satellite expecting to hit earth with one surviving piece weighing at 1.7 tons even if it does hit the ocean the impact would cause waves over 1000 ft high considering its supposed to re-enter earths atmosphere at 17,000 mph and its going to happen sometime sunday morning maybe they will only have about 5 hrs warning.
Oct 26, 2011
What if the Rapture is a meta-physical happening? I love the fear mongers. Once one date is up they set a new one into play. I'd bet you everything I own Mr. Hansen that the world is gonna be here long after our physical bodies are dust.

I cant breath, I'm laughing so hard

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! EPIC FAIL FALSE PROPHET!
Oct 28, 2011
There have been predictions the world will end on certain dates (Oct 21 2011 & Dec 21 2012) for years and years….but, If you are a believer in God and what He did through His Son…and you predict things or call yourself a prophet then you had better read His Word so that you know what God says about the end times. ITS REALLY SIMPLE… NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR HOUR ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS. There are false prophets everywhere…If anyone does a prophecy over you…be sure to confirm it with the Almighty Word of God before you act on it or believe it.
Oct 28, 2011
There are also genuine people who have empathy or what u may call spiritual discernment…and this is also known as psychic phenomenon. This is nothing more than information from the Collective Unconscious or the Holy Spirit. For those who know how to discern it — it is a blessing. For those who do not – it may be considered a curse.
Oct 28, 2011
Very true, Spiritual Discernment comes via the Holy Spirit which is based on the Word of God.
