May 21, 2011 End of the World

 There had been  a lot of predictions about the end of the world but the prediction  that May 21, 2011 is  the end of the world or the Judgement Day is quite different from the previous ones. This has caught a lot and worldwide attention.  One thing why this prediction has reached almost every human in the world is the fact that the people in familyradio.com are very well funded to carry out a worldwide campaign.

Even here in the city where I live in the Philippines I see a huge billboard informing the locals that the end of the world or Judgement day will be on May 21, 2011. Even in the internet, almost all websites display ads on the said Judgement day. The internet plays a huge part in propagating this information.  This is what sets this campaign apart from the previous doomsday predictions.

Will the world really end in May 21, 2011? The bible said that no one knows when will be the second coming of Christ. The Bible says that Jesus will come back like a burglar that no one will know it. So what is the basis of the movement behind this prediction?

According to the movement's founder Harold Camping, it can be calculated from the texts in the bible when the exactly the Judgement day falls in our calendar. It is clear in the bible that 1 day for God is 1000 years for humans. In the Bible, God gave Noah of 1 week warning. Thus, there is a 7,000-year gap between Noah’s flood and the end of the world, bringing us to May 21, 2011.

 Today is May 19, 2011 so there are only 2 days left for the unbelievers to believe and repent their sins.
