The End Is Of The World Is Near… For Real This Time

Followers of a California preacher who foresaw the world's end are struggling for answers, meanwhile  Harold Camping, their leader revised hisprophecy of the apocalypse on Monday, saying he was off by five months because it turns out the Earth actually will be obliterated on Oct. 21. He did the math wrong.

Camping, who predicted that 200 million Christians would be taken to heaven Saturday before a global cotastrophy hit earth, said he felt so terrible when his doomsday message did not come true that he and his wife left home and took up residency in a hotel. His ministry, Family Radio International, spent millions upon millions (most of it donations made by his faithful followers) on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with his Judgment Day apocalyptic rhetoric.

Camping did make a special appearance at the headquarters of his empire Monday, apologizing for not having the dates "worked out as accurately as I could have." He went on to say that the globe will be totally destroyed in five months.`Why?  Because God's judgment was completed on Saturday, there's no point in warning people about it. His network will now just play Christian music and programs until the final end on Oct. 21.

Camping offered no information concerning Family Radio's finances status on Monday, saying he could not estimate how much that had been spent on getting out his prediction or how much money the nonprofit had taken in. In 2009, Family Radio reported to IRS  that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks and other securities.

We will live to see Oct. 22nd? Was it a simple mistake in math or has another Con-Man pulled one of the biggest cons of all time? I predict more donations as he will continue to feed fear

and a doomsday scenario to his followers. I guess we will have to wait 5 months to find out. You might want to keep a little saved just in case kiddos.- B
