May 21/2011 Marks Judgement Day. Why?

I just recently viewed this video of a subscription of mine (one of my favorite I might add)



And I'm curious to know why this date is at all significant?

I'm sure I could google it and find out on my own, but from past experience, such a specific factor in a religion renders many different points of views especially within members of that specific religion. Is there anyone here that could lend me some information

(Just to clarify, I'm not worried what so ever about the date, I'm just curious as to know why this day in particular is special)

Hahaha

Beautiful video.

Answer: 7k years since Noah's flood.

Camping, 89, believes the Bible essentially functions as a cosmic calendar explaining exactly when various prophecies will be fulfilled.
The retired civil engineer said all his calculations come from close readings of the Bible, but that external events like the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948 are signs confirming the date.

TIMING OF IMPORTANT EVENTS IN HISTORY
11,013 BC—Creation. God created the world and man (Adam and Eve).
4990 BC—The flood of Noah’s day. All perished in a worldwide flood. Only Noah, his wife, and his 3 sons and their wives survived in the ark (6023 years from creation).
7 BC—The year Jesus Christ was born (11,006 years from creation).
33 AD—The year Jesus Christ was crucified and the church age began (11,045 years from creation; 5023 calendar years from the flood).
1988 AD—This year ended the church age and began the great tribulation period of 23 years (13,000 years from creation).
1994 AD—On September 7th, the first 2300-day period of the great tribulation came to an end and the latter rain began, commencing God’s plan to save a great multitude of people outside of the churches (13,006 years from creation).
2011 AD—On May 21st, Judgment Day will begin and the rapture (the taking up into heaven of God’s elect people) will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. On October 21st, the world will be destroyed by fire (7000 years from the flood; 13,023 years from creation).

come as a thief in the night, no man
knows the day or the hour,i could

day, but if your a believer, the verse
above should be enough,God bless.

I wonder if Harold Camping will be serving Kool aid on May 21, 2011 to all his followers?

Well, all I know is if this time around he offers kool Aid while holding their bibles up...don't drink it man, dont drink it.

Come on really?

I do not buy this guys bs

Well...because the guy says so. I guess he thinks he's corrected his early 90s calculations to find the real date, not the one he previously predicted which got people out in their Sunday best holding up Bibles to the sky.

I'm not sure what to think...if this guy is sincere, I sort of feel a bit bad for him. If he's insincere he's amongst worst sort of person for doing this.

I believe his congregation are just a bunch of old people trying to believe in something. I do believe that 2012 is the return of christ. that is 2012ish era, but I do not know this date. I am a doomer my friend and I do not by this.

We all need to believe in something, don't you?

5/21/2011 is the day my daughter is getting married! So it better not happen that day! I want those grandkids first!

Yes, but dates normally do not fly well when it comes down to preachers trying to make themselves into prophets. I believe if a prophet were to come I am 100% sure God will show him to be legit

Its all Harold Campings ideas, there doesn't seem to be much astronomical support like the end of the Mayan calendar etc.

Camping uses the count of the 153 fish in John as an offset. Apparently May 21st which is Campings Judgment day is 153 days prior to October 21 his chosen end of the world. Only thing on the Calendar October 21st is the Orionids Meteor Shower.

Let's just hope he's not passing out hankies and nikes.

I predict an apocalyptic amount of backpedaling the next day.

As in any sort of mystical beings, no.

With all this talk about the nearly approaching dates (March and October), i came across this on wikipedia:

1994 to 2011 Harold Camping Camping, general manager of Family Radio and Bible teacher, published a book, 1994?, a prediction of Christ's return was likely pointing to 1994 with the possibility that it will happen in 2011. He now claims that the rapture will be on May 21, 2011 followed by the end of the world on October 21 of the same year. Camping wrote "Adam when?" and claimed the Biblical calendar meshes with the secular and is accurate from 11,013 BC–2011 AD.[83]

Is this coincidence, substantiating evidence, or is the source of everyones 'predictions'.

Wow, I'm sure the intent was sincere, but the poor fellow who made the video doesn't even understand Eschatology 101. The reappearance of Jesus and "Judgment Day" are over 1,000 years apart in the Bible.

From the video's author only.

Not from anyone who has read a Bible I can assure you.
