Found it.

[quote]According to literature from Harold Camping and his Oakland-based Family Radio - which calls on the faithful to flee their churches - the beginning of The End is calculated as being 7,000 years from the date of the Great Flood, and both the start of the flood and May 21, 2011 fall on the 17th day of the 2nd month of the Biblical calendar.

With the Bible's Revelation 9:5 stating that the "torment" will last five months, Judgment Day is thus marked as October 21, 2011. [/quote]

But this is the best part:

[quote]In a self-published 1992 book [Harold] Camping predicted End Time would come in 1994.

After followers gathered on the appointed day and did not experience the predicted Rapture, Camping acknowledged that he'd made a mathematical error.[/quote]

Even better:

[quote] In 2 Peter 3:8, which is quoted above, Holy God reminds us that one day is as 1,000 years. Therefore, with the correct understanding that the seven days referred to in Genesis 7:4 can be understood as 7,000 years, we learn that when God told Noah there were seven days to escape worldwide destruction, He was also telling the world there would be exactly 7,000 years (one day is as 1,000 years) to escape the wrath of God that would come when He destroys the world on Judgment Day. Because Holy Infinite God is all-knowing, He knows the end from the beginning. He knew how sinful the world would become. Seven thousand years after 4990 B.C. (the year of the Flood) is the year 2011 A.D. (our calendar).[/quote]

Man. Such a literal interpretation of the bible. I wonder what their take on Christ's command to eat of His Flesh and drink of His blood?!

It's almost like God was laying out an algebraic equation! Indeed, they go onto say:

[quote]4990 + 2011 – 1 = 7,000

(One year must be subtracted in going from an Old Testament B.C. calendar date to a New Testament A.D. calendar date because the calendar does not have a year zero.)[/quote]

Makes more sense to push it back to Halloween.

Or, 11/11/2011 on 11:11 am!

They're just numbers people, nothing significant!

May 21, 2011 was predicted by a Rapurist out in California. Oh and by the way, this is like the upteenth time he has 'predicted' a specific date for the Rapture. Does anyone remember the "88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will be in 1988"? [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_C._Whisenant"]http://en.wikipedia....ar_C._Whisenant[/url]
Also, anyone inside a church during this Rapture will be go straight to hell.

You mean that this person wasn't stoned to death in 1989 when his prophecy didn't come true?! :crazy:

Doesn't Scripture say only God knows the day and hour? Yawn...they seriously need to stop obsessing over the End. Go out and help the Lord save souls or something, yeesh.

I would be so happy if Jesus came back right now! But we are supposed to 'occupy until I come', like He said.
