Incorrigible Camping
Camping has moved his date from from May 21, 2011, to October 21, 2011. No repentance for his faulty hermeneutic. He simply took the position that he was not being spiritual enough. There’s not the smallest reason to take his claim seriously. I hope no one will, though I fear his followers will seize on…

Where is the Promise of Christ’s Coming?
One of the key passages regarding the second coming of Christ is found in 2 Peter 3:1-18 (the entirety of chapter 3 of 2 Peter). First, let me provide you with the text of the chapter, and then my commentary on it. 2 Peter 3:1-18 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in…

Does the Bible Guarantee Camping’s Prediction?
Harold Camping has widely asserted that “the Bible guarantees” his prediction regarding the end times. This invites us to us examine his Biblical claims. One large chunk of the basis for Harold Camping’s claims with respect to May 21, 2011, is that 2011 is allegedly 7000 years from the flood. Camping’s date for the flood…

Camping Rained Out by Flood
One of the key items in Harold Camping’s interpretation that leads him to conclude that 2011 is the last year is that the flood was in 4990 B.C. and that A.D. 2011 is “exactly” 7000 years later. That 7000 years number is important to Camping, because at one point God said to Noah, “For yet…

Counting Down with Camping …
In a previous blog post, I commented on the fact that Camping has demonstrably miscounted the number of days between April 1, 33, and May 21, 2011. The number of days 722,501, not 722,500. How did he make this mistake? Here’s Camping’s calculation paragraphs from his “Another Infallible Proof“: Because of the importance and wonder…

"An Exceedingly Serious Matter" 722,500 or 722,501
One of Camping’s key arguments for May 21, 2011, is that May 21, 2011, is 722,500 days from April 1, 33. But if we calculate the number of days from April 1, 33, to May 21, 2011, the number is actually 722,501 or 722,502 (depending on whether we count the last day or not). Harold…

Background on Harold Camping
Some interesting comments on Harold Camping’s own departure from the church can be found at the following story (link to story). This was brought to my attention by the Heidelblog. The most interesting insight is how the May 21, 1988, date seems to be connected to Camping’s final time teaching Sunday School. To God be…

Repentance and Family Radio
An alert reader noticed that in yesterday’s post asking for prayer for the regular listeners to Family Radio’s Harold Camping (or is it the other way ’round?), I had neglected to specify that his listeners need to repent. Those who have broken fellowship with the church do need to repent. Forsaking the fellowship of the…

Prayer for Family Radio Folks
As you may know, in three months (May 22, 2011) if the Lord tarries, there will be a lot of folks associated with Harold Camping and Family Radio that will be disappointed to discover that Camping’s prognostications haven’t panned out. Currently, the folks who have believed his teachings have left the churches. Please pray that…
