May 21, 2011: Judgment Day

Before you decide that May 21, 2011 can not be Judgment Day, I encourage everyone to carefully examine the following information. It is making me quite afraid, and I am finding myself seeking God more than ever before.

Wow, what a nice 39th birthday present! I'll get to go to heaven.

Totes sweet!

If you read the bible it clearly states that no one knows when the end of days will happen, not even the angles in heaven. According to the scriptures the only being who actually knows is God him/herself.


Mathew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only"

I'm not saying i believe what the bible is saying about the rapture and all, however if thats what you think will happen you might want to look into it. It says he will come like a thief in the night. No one knows. There's no hints, nothing, it will just happen

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 1Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape

Notice the 60 or 70 odd judgement day, armageddon and rapture prophecies that never eventuated

Click here for more information.

I didn't bother reading through past the first and part of the second page of that website. I don't believe in any "end of the world predictions", but ponder this:

If you are only trying to "find God" because of an end of the world prophecy coming soon, aren't you then defeating the purpose? I'd be mad if I were some creator of all the universe and the only reason that someone believed in me is because they wanted an insurance card in case something happens.

Just food for thought. I'm not calling you out or even expecting an answer. Its really only your business.

Well welcome to ATS, as this IS the new members introduction forum...

BTW atleast your link isn't asking for money, which is a change.

I figure if there is a God and an end date, He already knowsw who He's gonna save...So no point me worrying about it

Haha my birthday is the end of the world!

October 21, 2011, I will be 19 years old.

Wait as second......

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I CAN NEVER LEGALLY DRINK!!

Actually, if I was God (in a biblical sense), I wouldn't expect anyone to believe I exist without bothering to drop by for a visit. that's just good manners after all.

And as far as that date, it's one of many many many dates that have been floated many many many times. Who knows, maybe on that date we get balloon boy part II and we just can't take it and blow ourselves to hell.

The guy in the visual tutorial is Harold Camping.

He wrote a book entitled 1994?...... which he thought would be the end of the world.....

I see that he is still making predictions. ....

I see that this is your first thread.....welcome!

if you want so much to die, there are other ways, instead of trying to guess when the world is going to end

thats just pathetic

Yep, here are all his incorrect propheices

Sep 27, 1994
Harold Camping, head of Oakland's Family Radio and host of the station's Biblical discussion talk show Open Forum, predicted the end in his book 1994? He calculated that the Tribulation would end on September 6, followed by the Last Day and the Second Coming of Christ between Sep. 15 and Sep. 27.

Sep 29, 1994
Harold Camping's doomsday prediction #2.

Oct 2, 1994
Harold Camping's doomsday prediction #3.

Mar 31, 1995
Harold Camping's doomsday prediction #4. He gave up setting dates afterwards

Looks like he's back to setting dates

Not a great source for a first thread OP...but welcome to ATS

[edit on 7/8/2010 by OzWeatherman]

How rediculous! I read the link and it is typical bible thumping. So, don't worry as that date will come and go without a problem

Before you decide that the introductions section of ATS can not be used for introductions, I encourage everyone to carefully examine the following information. That stickied thread that welcomed you in this subsection.

I feel I am growing deeper into atheism. Join me quick before I pwn your god(s).

Hi there, welcome to ATS.

I'm a Christian, I believe in the teaching about judgement, and I would agree that seeking out God is a good thing to do.

BUT I would urge you not to be afraid of that date.
Firstly, as other people have pointed out, we're told that we won't know the date. I've looked at the link and I know that this man tries to get round that.

Somebody else has pointed out, quite rightly, that for those who follow the book of Revelation there are a lot of other things that must come first.
I offer you a link which brings out some of them.
(It's only fair to point out that this link is me);
Various Revelation interpretations

Finally, I have made a point of checking what kind of calculation that man is making.
He says Judgement Day will be in May 21st 2011 because that is 7000 years, to the day, after the beginning of the Biblical flood in 4990 BC.
Historical evidence, as distinct from dubious Biblical calculations, makes it very implausible indeed that there was any kind of world-wide flood in 4990 BC.

It's about the planets.
Nothing is going to matter anyway, planets are just energetic vibes.
It's the horoscope, each has a different vibration, affecting us the way we act, our actions are influent by these planets depending on how they are aligned in orbit to the sun, because they send out vibrations, it's like a harp really. They are going to align creating the perfect harmonic for a passage, it's what 2012 is all about, once that happen doom can come in I think, and who does not have the right vibration signature (just my wild guess) will not be able to pass. Alignment just creates a link, this is how a link looks between planets like this () vibrating, it is round shaped like a chain part, in 3d it's really a geometric form. like this

It's what I think of it, one must pass the death gate as a spirit and go on the passage. I could be wrong tho but I think who will pass will first have to die. It's like a runway for spirits, then take off, then go to the column passage. The sun will cover the passage while other planets will form a straight line like a straight chain, only those who can walk the line will go I think. We are really shooting for the stars for real.

Could be wrong about if it happens on 2012 also, or about people fading away, maybe the whole planet go's. I have no idea but something of the sort will happen, too early for me to state a decisive opinion and who am I anyway, just my opinion.

No one can do anything about it, it's just the universe taking care of the bad apples. what are they going to do blow up planets and fight god ?

People have been ranting about when the world will end as long as people have been around.

Have a happy June, July, August, September.........

And if you are right, you won't be able to tell me I am wrong!

don't trust fear-mongering websites!

fear is the opposite of love
GOD is love


simple enough

welcome to ATS

Don't worry about it. It will be a waste of your time.

Look at it like this. You are going to die anyway, regardless of whatever can possibly happen. Chances are, you are not even going to make it all the way to May 2011.

An accident, disease or even a terrorist attack could cross your path. Who knows ?

Now you know, you are going to die at a time you are not aware of.... Could be hours from now.

How important does the end of the world still feels to you ?

You should live your life, like every day could be your last. Enjoy every second of it and realize the possibility exist, you can not apologize for your bad choices and deeds to the persons you love.

Stop wasting your time ! Make your time worth it. Live a little.

Love to all. Death comes soon enough.

Edit : @ ghandi

You could drink in secret... that will make it even more exciting.

Good point, but the Rapture is an invented thing, made up by John Nelson Darby...

The doctrine of a secret rapture was first conceived by John Nelson Darby of the Plymouth Brethren in 1827. Darby, known as the father of dispensationalism, invented the doctrine claiming there were not one, but two "second comings." This teaching was immediately challenged as unbiblical by other members of the Brethren. Samuel P. Tregelles, a noted biblical scholar, rejected Darby's new interpretation as the "height of speculative nonsense." So tenuous was Darby's rapture theory that he had lingering doubts about it as late as 1843, and possibly 1845. Another member of the Plymouth Brethren, B.W. Newton, disputed Darby's new doctrine claiming such a conclusion was only possible if one declared certain passages to be "renounced as not properly ours."

Sandeen writes, "this is precisely what Darby was prepared to do. Too traditional to admit that biblical authors might have contradicted each other, and too rationalist to admit that the prophetic maze defied penetration, Darby attempted a resolution of his exegetical dilemma by distinguishing between Scripture intended for the Church and Scripture intended for Israel. . . . Darby's difficulty was solved by assuming that the Gospels were addressed partly to Jews and partly to Christians."

Thus, the doctrine of the separation of Israel and the Church, the foundation of dispensationalism, was born out of Darby's attempt to justify his newly fabricated rapture theory with the Bible. Dispensationalists believed justification for carving up the Scriptures came from 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) "rightly dividing the word of truth." Subsequent dispensationalists divided the Scriptures in terms of categories of people: Jew, Gentile, and Christian. Chafer taught that the only Scriptures addressed specifically to Christians were the gospel of John, Acts, and the Epistles! Pettengill taught that the Great Commission was for the Jews only.

The Rapture Theory - Its Surprising Origin

Read your Bible, see for yourself the rapture is not in there. Neither is any passage, or scripture that states Jesus is God incarnate. I have been arguing this for years with Christians, none of whom actually read their book, they simply take passages from it to prove their point, and close their minds to anything else. Right?
