Harold Camping on Judgment Day
Back in 1994, Harold Camping’s predictions regarding the end of the world did not come true. The world continued on. He has new predictions that the rapture will occur on May 21, 2011, with world continuing for another 153 days from then. (link to interview) One of his predictions, as you will see in the…

One Year Until the End of the World
The subject of this post is the message I found in my inbox earlier today. The message reminded me that Harold Camping has, based on complex series of calculations, predicted judgment day to be May 21, 2011. I have already attempted to show a number of problems in Mr. Camping’s theology, and rather than rehash…

Lucifer and Angels’ Names
JohnFrancis left this comment on an earlier blog post: Harold Camping has recently taught that Jerome translated the Hebrew word “hyll” to be the angel “Lucifer” when it should read “praise”(root word) or “boaster(er)”. “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which…

More not Less Church as the Day of the Lord Approaches
One of the questions that Mr. Arnzen asked Mr. Harold Camping, during the four-day discussion on Iron Sharpens Iron between Dr. James White and Mr. Harold Camping, was about whether the listeners of Family Radio have their own gatherings. Mr. Camping indicated that, aside from a small group in Almeda, California (where Mr. Camping resides),…

430 Years from the Promise – A Response to Fred Butler
I have indicated that I think that the Israelites were in Egypt for only about 215 years, as opposed to 430 years. Mr. Fred Butler disagrees (link to his post). Mr. Butler’s response is friendly, and I hope he’ll take my response as being in a similarly amiable vein. First of all, Mr. Butler points…

From Seventy to More than a Million?
Two posts ago, I pointed out how Mr. Camping’s chronology falls apart under Scriptural scrutiny over something as simple as the name of Moses’ father (link). In the immediately preceding post, I demonstrated that a rebuttal based on there needing to be 430 years in Egypt was wrong based on the plain teachings of Scripture…

How then Four Hundred, Thirty Years?
One person asked (anonymously, against which I have nothing): Hi Turretin Fan, I just have one quick question about the Camping Jenga article. If Amram was Aaron’s dad, how on earth do we account for the 430 year sojourn in Egypt? Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond. I answer: The Israelites did…

Camping and the Atonement
In a previous post (link) we discussed how Mr. Harold Camping errs on the simple question of who Moses’ father is, according to the Scriptures, and how this has a chain reaction effect on his chronology. There are other clear errors in Mr. Camping’s theology that relate less directly to his date-setting error. Scripture Says…

Camping Jenga
Mr. Harold Camping’s views of the end times are extremely complex, which is one of the reason that they attract many folks. In some ways, they are like a more complicated version of Jenga, in which a tower is constructed from numerous sticks that seem to be more or less separable from the tower. One…
